Chapter 108: County Lord?

“…… This book is just to be printed and sold, and it won't do anything! ”

Hongchen looked at Fang Yi with a headache, folded his hands, and bowed to her, pleading and pleading.

The little fat man also sneaked over and looked at her.

She forgot that Fang Yi's family was a squire, and there were also a few shops, and her grandfather also ran a bookstore.

As for the little fat man, his family is simply in business, and he has a family history, and he gets excited when he sees the business, of course, it's not just to make money, Hongchen knows that the two of them really think that this book is a priceless treasure.

"Whatever you want, don't write my name, uh, just give me a nickname and call it Cangqing Jushi."

Anyway, she lived in Cangqing Mountain in her early years, so it is quite appropriate to call Cangqing Jushi.

Fang Yi happily responded, and before he went out, a large group of people came to deliver things outside.

It is the reward of the Lord of Long Life.

The big eunuch beside His Majesty came over in person: "Miss, don't be formal, let's live the Lord said, this is to be an elder, give the junior some pocket money, you, even if you take it, come, let's go see Your Majesty first, he will think of you as soon as the old man wakes up." ”

Hongchen: "......"

If you can, I really don't want to deal with an emperor, the emperor she has seen is not a good thing, but she is born in the world, not everything can be decided by herself, for example, the emperor summoned, she can't say that she can't see it, the only one who dares to do it, that is the emperor's most beloved son.

The garden where His Majesty temporarily lives is the garden that the Chen family has cultivated. Since I know that the Long Live Lord is coming, it has been renovated several times, and it is definitely not worse than the gardens in the capital.

The emperor only wore his usual clothes, sat in the study, stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, Hongchen saluted, and was called to his side.

This is the first time that Hongchen has been so close to an emperor.

It's different from what you imagined. He's a little old. It's a bit ordinary, and he doesn't have the momentum of a true dragon emperor, just like an ordinary person, maybe a little more majestic.

"Look. They were tidying up the altar. There are also vines on the altar. ”

That day, Hongchen gave birth to the seeds he had found. There were vines above, a thick layer of green leaves below, and she didn't care. It was just a plaything she used to decorate the room, and it could grow anywhere, wood, stone, or anything like that.

Someone in the Yujue space said that a certain great power used this thing to improve the desert, but the result was too much, and the vitality was extremely tenacious, almost spreading into a disaster, as a last resort, a group of people were organized to remove such plants every day, and it took several months to control it.

When I gave it to Hongchen, I also told me not to sprinkle it in the mountains casually, this thing is really much more stubborn than weeds, and it is not easy to clean up.

At that time, I came to His Majesty, and then I told him that this thing should be cleaned up, and it is estimated that the guards and ministers have made up something in their brains, and they attach great importance to it, and they will carefully clean it up overnight, but the action is too gentle, and it seems that the weeds and vines are also treated as fetishes.

The emperor's expression was a little solemn, and after a while, he became estranged again, turned his head to look at Hongchen, and stared at her face.

Hongchen lowered his head, always feeling that the gaze reflected on his face was spicy.

Being so close to the emperor, the 'rancid smell' of power came to her nose, which made people shudder, and even she didn't feel good.

The emperor slowly softened his eyebrows, as if he was very happy: "Your name is Hongchen?" Not like your mother, nor like your father. ”

Hongchen's heart jumped. She knew in her previous life that the emperor didn't like the queen, and she was very cold to the queen, and after giving birth to the last prince, she was even more indifferent, and even now, even the queen may not show up at the New Year's feast.

Her appearance resembles that of a queen, but it is not a secret.

The emperor did not show the slightest dislike, but seemed to be a little nostalgic, his eyes were very nostalgic, and he didn't take it off Hongchen's cheeks for a long time, and only smiled after a long time: "Tell me what you want?" ”

The corners of Hongchen's mouth twitched, she said that she was a fool, okay? At this time, of course, the normal way is to show loyalty, talk about how much you admire and respect the Long Live Lord, how small your so-called credit is, without your own Long Live Lord Hongfu Qitian, there will be no problem, and the reward or something will definitely be desperately resigned.

The emperor was really happy, and laughed out loud: "Good, good, I know that you are filial, but you are rewarded for your merits." ”

He thought about it, lowered his head and groaned, and said softly: "My queen has always told me before, I want to recognize a granddaughter, Cheng Huan's knees, I see you very well, go back to Beijing to talk to the queen, if you fall in love, ......"

Although she didn't finish speaking, she was stunned, and before she could excuse herself, the emperor had already changed the topic with a smile: "I heard that this time the Zhongqing family can be safe and sound, all thanks to your divine book, I don't know what kind of book it is?" Can you give me a look? ”

Yes.

The emperor wants to read a book, who dares not to give it?

Hongchen had no choice but to offer it obediently, but fortunately she copied two more copies when she practiced calligraphy, otherwise she would really not be able to take it out at this time.

At the beginning, all the pages of the book she divided were carefully kept by the ministers, and they could not be recycled at all, and there were still people who wanted to buy them at a high price, and Hongchen himself heard that many people wanted to collect the whole book at a large price.

The emperor sat there reading a book, and Hongchen saw that his old man didn't seem to plan to say anything about what happened on the altar at this time, so he took his leave with a very good look.

As soon as she returned to her room at the post station, Hongchen sat down on the desk and drew a few portraits of her who were mixed in the crowd and plotted against each other at the beginning of the live sacrifice. ”

Hongchen raised his eyebrows: "Master Taifu, don't laugh, let others hear carefully, and then treat us for a big disrespectful crime." ”

Mrs. Xu shook his head, these things outside the people have not received the news, they have long known that His Majesty has any will, even if it is a private matter, it has to be drafted by the eunuch Bingbi and the Hanlin Scholar. You can't just go down casually.

Hongchen's specific identity, the people in the capital who shouldn't know don't know at all, the people who can know it have long been clear, but they didn't know it before, and they will figure it out soon, this time at the Yingchuan Festival, she was out of the limelight, and the Manchu Dynasty magnates can be said to owe her a lot of favors, at this time, but whatever she wants to do. As long as it's not too much. There must be countless people who are willing to help her do it.

Looking at His Majesty's meaning, it is obvious that he is not the same as this granddaughter, Mrs. Xu sighed softly and asked him to say. Let that Majesty remember. I really can't say whether it's a good thing or not. However, being able to be given the title of county lord in a serious manner is always a blessing that others can't ask for.

"The matter is largely settled. Your Majesty also found a few Hanlin to choose a title for you, you, the county lord, sooner or later. ”

Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Hongchen was also a little surprised in his heart, the emperor said that let the queen mother recognize her as a granddaughter, but the granddaughter of the queen mother should not be named the county lord, and the queen's righteous daughter is almost the same.

County lord, the fifth lady of the Pingjun Wang family is not a county lord, not even a county lord, if she had such an identity in her previous life, would the Wang family dare to force her to death? Wang Yue dared to hook up with Chen Lin before she died?

Thinking like this, she was actually a little excited, and Hongchen laughed with a snort, laughing so inexplicably that Mrs. Xu laughed.

“…… It's nothing, I'm just happy. Hongchen shook his head, "It turns out that I am also a layman, and I am really flattered that Your Majesty is so gracious." ”

Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he was still afraid that this girl would go crazy with joy, but: "But looking at Your Majesty's meaning, it seems to be ......"

It seems that he is reluctant to let Hongchen and the Xia family get too close.

Hongchen raised his eyebrows, and vaguely smacked a little taste, the emperor made her the queen's granddaughter, not her granddaughter, in fact, as long as there is a will, she is serious into the Xia family tree, she is the daughter of the princess, that is, the queen's granddaughter, it is also grace, but this majesty would rather make her the lord of the county, and there is no explicit order for her to return to the Xia family.

At first, Hongchen felt that maybe His Majesty was giving grace, after all, it was His Majesty, and he probably knew that she refused Xia Shijie and didn't want to go back to the Xia family, so he deliberately made a will to let her get what she wanted, but after thinking about it carefully, it was more likely that His Majesty didn't plan to let her go back to the Xia family.

She suddenly became a little worried-could it be that the Xia family was jealous of the royal family?

In the previous life, the Xia family had successfully survived the change of imperial power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but that was what she saw at the time, who knew what difficulties and obstacles there were in the places she couldn't see?

She only remembered that the children of the Xia family went forward one after another, one by one died in the war, they made great achievements, supported the Xia family to stand tall, and the more they developed, the better they were, at that time she didn't care about the death of a few disciples, now think about it, the foundation of the Xia family is cast with countless blood, and the white bones are stacked.

I don't know how many untold stories there are!

"I know what I know."

Mrs. Xu smiled: "I know that you are a smart person...... Hey? What are you drawing? ”

Hongchen didn't hide it, and said in a low voice: "On that day, when we, as a spirit boy and spirit girl, were about to be sacrificed alive, a group of people who coaxed them underneath saw that they were not good, and they seemed to hope that the court really sacrificed us to the sky." ”

Mrs. Xu frowned and nodded: "Give me these portraits, it's not a trivial matter for this ceremony to be like this, I think these people are very suspicious." ”

Hongchen smiled, and pushed the portrait over indifferently before sending this person away. Mrs. Xu can use the power of officialdom, maybe he can really find out a seven, seven, eighty, eight.

In addition to Mrs. Xu, Hongchen met a few people who came to congratulate her tacitly, and she also pretended to be deaf and dumb, but she didn't know, and if the will was not made for a day, she should not have such a thing as the county lord.

Within two days, everyone didn't have the heart to worry about Hongchen, and the festival was widely implicated, and even Master Yang was called to scold him.

However, as soon as Yang Shi came out, he let out a long breath, and the whole person collapsed, and he sat for a long time, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and the expression on his face eased.

The emperor still wants to scold him, that is, he treats him as his own, he doesn't think this matter has anything to do with him, if he doesn't care about it at this time, he should think about how to save the lives of his wife and children.

The festival was abandoned halfway, and His Majesty also got up early and drove back to Beijing.

At the beginning, he didn't plan to leave so early, how could he come out for a trip, and he always had to turn a few more places, but this time there was such an incident, and the capital was not at peace, and the emperor was afraid of another accident, so he soon ordered to return to Beijing.

Hongchen and the three of them, the task of the spirit girl is completely completed. It's okay to go back with the holy driver, if you want to go by yourself, no one will be embarrassed, Fang Yi is timid, Hongchen is also cautious, or act with the large army, saving the cost of carriage and horses, food, and someone to take care of it, it's really good.

It's a pity on the way back. I'm afraid it's not as good as the one I was here.

Fang Yi still sat in a carriage with Hongchen. The carriage was relatively small, and the shock resistance was no better than the last one, and it was already quite bumpy before it left the city.

Even so. Fang Yi was still very happy. Leaning on the car window, he looked out greedily.

When I came to Yingchuan. They all have the determination to give up their lives, no matter how good the scenery is, it doesn't feel good. Now don't talk about the bumps, it's just that the little fat is uncomfortable and nauseous and wants to vomit when he gets in the car, or Le Taotao, and the joy on his face can't be covered up if he wants to.

Now they are amazing, as a spirit boy and a spirit girl, the court gives Yu Lu every month, and the officials do not kneel, there are many benefits, and they suddenly change from suffering a big loss to taking a big advantage, and the little fat is still muttering, muttering to go back to see how beautiful his stepmother's expression is.

The chubby biological mother died early, and his father married the stepfamily, and the son of the steproom was not old, and the rules of the merchant family were not strict, and he did everything for the family property, and the steproom did not suffer from him, but fortunately, they were all ordinary people, and the family's money was not so much that he was killed, and the steproom was not particularly vicious, at most, he gave a face, and his life was still passable.

Hongchen sat in the car, and he was a little proud in his heart.

I don't know if the Xia family can get the news of her, even if the Xia family doesn't pay attention to it, I don't know, presumably Xia Chan should know, she got the news, maybe she can eat two less meals, just save the effort to lose weight, and save money, such a good thing, presumably no matter who hears about it, it will be good to come a few more times.

Thousands of miles away

Xia Fu

Xia Chan did receive the news, and it was very fast, almost the third day that the news spread among the powerful people in Yingchuan, she got the letter.

Another three days, nightmares and nightmares.

"Ahem, ahem."

The quiet room was quiet, Xia Cicada coughed out the thick phlegm in her throat, rolled it up with a handkerchief and threw it into the charcoal basin, her face was ugly.

She didn't know why there were so many dreams, and the dreams were all messy fragments, full of depression, unwillingness, and resentment.

When she woke up, Xia Cicada was very calm, and she didn't show any abnormality at all.

Xia Shijie got the news early, as soon as he got it, he hurriedly came to find Ah Chan, standing outside her window, the expression on his face was a little complicated, he barely suppressed the taste in his heart, and said softly: "Ah Chan, you don't have to worry about it anymore, Hongchen will probably never return to our Xia family in the future, you are the only Miss Yan of the Xia family." ”

“…… Brother, what are these words, Sister Hongchen has suffered so much, she should have gone home a long time ago, and there is no good place at home. ”

Xia Cicada said in a low voice.

Xia Shijie always felt that Ah Chan's voice was melancholy, and in an instant, his complicated thoughts were reduced by a few points, and he was really happy.

"Okay, Achan, don't think about it so much, it's good to rest, you will understand in a few days, you don't have to feel guilty about Hongchen at all, she is also very good outside."

After saying a few more words, Xia Shijie sighed, and told a few maids to serve well, not to be slow, a few days ago he heard some gossip, all talking about Achan, saying that he didn't know what mistake she had made, which made the patriarch thunderous and angry.

There are many disciples in the Xia family, there are many people, and even those servants are not stupid, Xia Chan suddenly closed in the quiet room, although no one said anything, there are also smart people who guess some clues.

Don't care where the servants are, no matter how strict the family rules are, they still have some habits like red and white, and they are very similar in general, and they can't help but be a little slow in terms of details, Xia Shijie is naturally angry when he meets them.

After explaining, he left home again, now that he is an adult, the experience is complete, and he began to preside over the foreign affairs of the Xia family, very busy, walked a few steps, and unconsciously looked back, looking at the silhouette of A Chan on the window paper.

Ah Chan seems to have lost some weight.

In fact, the taste in his heart is a little uncomfortable, although he has always disliked Hongchen's girl verbally, but he always thinks that one day, that girl will honestly call him a big brother, and when he comes home, he will take care of one or two in general, in the end, it is his own ...... Sister, as long as she doesn't embarrass Ah Chan, it will be beneficial to the Xia family to find a good family affair for her to marry.

He never thought that the original person really couldn't be subdued anymore, and she would spread her wings and soar into the sky.

Xia Chan stood in front of the window, saw Xia Shijie wandering outside for a long time, turned his head and left, stretched out his hand and rubbed the edge of the window: "Master used that person's favor at this time, and I don't know if it's cost-effective or not." ”

She sighed. Close the window, sit down, spread out the paper, and continue to copy the scriptures.

The morning sun was rising, the moon had just set, the thick clouds had dispersed, it was a good weather, Fang Yi sat in the car, and watched vigorously.

In fact, there is nothing on the street.

The whole street was empty, and through the green curtains, there were no vendors on the street. Not a single pedestrian can see it. Only the armoured Imperial Guards, and other messengers who came and went, and the little eunuch who took care of her when she came, also rode a horse and followed the carriage. Look at the Red Dust Probe. Then he leaned over and smiled: "Miss, don't worry." Soon it will be our turn to get out of town. ”

It's really fast.

Hongchen's carriage approached the royal car and left the city, with a long line behind them.

"Good fellow...... I remember His Majesty giving the order. It is said that it is to be easy to drive and obey, and not to disturb the people! Fang Yi rubbed her hair, grabbed a little information from her mind, and said in a daze.

Hongchen blinked: "Isn't this a light car?" ”

Fang Yi: "......"

Not to mention that the emperor took his courtiers on a parade, that is, which prince and grandson went out hunting and brought more than a dozen carts, that is, the light car Jane never disturbed the people.

Ordinary long live the Lord travels, gets up before dawn, and can't get out of the city gate at the end of dark, that's all common things.

Fang Yi was speechless, completely unimaginable.

Out of the city gate, the carriage ran smoothly, Hongchen turned out a wooden box from under the mat, took out a small bottle of meat sauce, and took out the baked cake, brushed the sauce and took a bite, it was very fragrant and delicious.

Fang Yi couldn't do it, so he also came over and pulled half of it.

The two of them held the cake and nibbled on it bite by bite, perhaps because it was too fragrant, and the curtain moved, rubbing a cat in it.

"Meow!"

"Oops, what about the cat!"

Fang Yi blinked and patted his chest.

It was a tanuki cat, but it looked like a tiger, with a pinch of white hair on the top of its head, round and bright eyes, dense and long hair, soft and shiny, elegant and shiny, and a wild flower in its mouth, which could not be seen at first glance, but the color was very delicate.

The cat barked, and the flower was thrown in front of Hongchen's eyes.

Fang Yi liked it at first glance, smiled and reached out to pick it up.

"Woo."

The tanuki cat went up with a paw, which frightened Fang Yi and immediately withdrew his hand, and saw it meowing twice at Hongchen.

Fang Yi bared his teeth: "Hey, it seems that even cats watch people put down dishes and give us gifts to Hongchen." ”

Hongchen smiled, leaned down to pick up the flower, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a sword suddenly reached out of the car window, just pressing the flower.

"Ahh

Fang Yi was taken aback.

Hongchen also took two steps back, looked up in amazement, and piled up a pair of smoky gray eyes.

It's not an iron bull!

She was stunned.

The person hanging outside the car window was also stunned.

What a familiar eyebrow!

As soon as Hongchen saw the people outside the window, he felt that he was very familiar, such beautiful and delicate eyebrows, outstanding bearing, indescribable and unclear, floating demeanor, and this black sheath sword.

The young man hanging outside also looked at Hongchen and was also taken aback: "We...... Where have you seen it? ”

No way!

But when he saw Hongchen's eyes and saw his reflection in the dark pupils, he was like a hot and cold day, drinking a cool sweet spring, refreshing it to his heart, very familiar!

The young man shook his head, then jumped into the car, and picked up the flowers thrown on the car with his sword, the cat grinned and blew up all over his body, he didn't pay attention to it, tore off a piece of the hem of his clothes, picked it up carefully, and looked at it carefully, with a solemn face.

"It's coated with the juice of poison arrow wood."

Hongchen's face changed suddenly: "See blood to seal your throat?" ”

Poison arrow wood has a common name, it is called to see the blood to seal the throat, the Zhou Dynasty once had an army, it is equipped with this poison quenched arrows, every time on the battlefield to make the enemy frightened, frightened, and later because of the prestige is too victorious, it has attracted the taboo of others, and the army has fallen and scattered, and this medicine has become a forbidden medicine.

The young man casually inserted the flower into his scabbard: "Don't throw this thing around, wait for a while to stop and deal with it......"

Before the words fell, the raccoon cat rushed at the young man, the young man frowned, stretched out his hand to grab it, Hongchen was startled, "Don't touch it!" He grabbed the mat in front of him and threw it at the cat and held it down.

At this press, the cat's limbs suddenly twitched, and its mouth foamed, and it was dead.

Fang Yi closed her eyes in fright.

Hongchen's face was also very ugly, and when he took the mat away, he found that the tanuki cat's long back hair was actually hidden with dense spikes, and the thorns flashed with a faint light, which was obviously coated with poison.

“…… What a cruel trick! ”

Hongchen exhaled and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead in vain, this time it can be regarded as an escape from death, who would have thought that someone would dare to murder in front of the royal car? (To be continued......)
