Chapter 134: The First Appearance of Murder (5)
In the two days in Ningcheng, Qiu Moli didn't take half a step out of the door, even if it was meal time, she also instructed the palace maid to send the food into her room, and then sent the palace maid away without stopping.
"Haven't you come out yet?" Xuan Zixu glanced at Ju Xiang, who had just come out of Qiu Moli's room, as if he didn't know that Qiu Moli hadn't come out, and asked calmly.
"Yes, the princess has always been holding a book to read there, even if the slave maid sent the food over, she just raised her head and told the slave maid to leave, but the slave maid felt that the food sent in the past few days had not moved, and the princess's body was afraid that it would not be able to withstand it like this." Ju Xiang had a bitter face, and cried to Xuan Zixu with a worried face.
Is this a tantrum with him? Still going on a hunger strike to sue herself, she doesn't want to cooperate.
Xuanzi squinted his eyes, waved away Juxiang, and pushed the door alone into Qiu Moli's room.
In the room, Qiu Moli held the book brought by the moon fan from the general's mansion, and obsessively focused her entire attention on the book, even if she didn't go out for two days and didn't eat for two days, Qiu Moli was still very energetic, just from the crisp laughter she made from time to time, it can be seen that she was in a good state at this time.
Sensing that someone was coming in, Qiu Moli didn't look up, but said directly, "Put things down, and then close the door and go out." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Zixu arrived in front of Qiu Moli, lifted Qiu Moli's chin with his right hand, and then said to Qiu Moli in a warning tone. "You can see clearly who the person in front of you is."
Only then did Qiu Moli notice that the person in front of him looked angry.
"Something?" Qiu Moli glanced at Xuan Zixu calmly, and saw that the expression on his face had not eased, so he added. "I don't think I've done anything to offend you!"
"Why don't you eat? Do you think you're going to let you go? Sue you Qiu Mo Li, by now you have no way out, either finish the play with me, and I will naturally send you back to Da Zhou when you get to Lingbei, otherwise ......"
Xuan Zixu didn't finish the rest of the words, but he knew that Qiu Moli must understand what he meant.
"How else? Kill the stars and the moon? Or kill me? Qiu Moli sneered and said to Xuan Zixu.
In the matter, she didn't mean to deliberately go against Xuan Zixu. It's just that the book that the moon fan brought over is what she has been keeping, ready to read when she is most bored, and now the conditions have been achieved. Naturally, she didn't want to look at anything first; If this also becomes the reason why Xuan Zixu thinks that she is resisting, then she has nothing to say......
"Do you have to talk like that?" Xuanzi frowned, Qiu Moli's appearance at this moment was obviously that he had a deep hatred with himself, this. He couldn't stand it.
"What does the general think I should say? Or how does the general think Hongu should speak? ”
The tone of not salty and not light, without desire and desire, in Xuan Zixu's opinion, was a means for Qiu Moli to resist himself, he paused, and then spoke. "Eat, if you don't eat, the two girls in the General's Mansion won't have to eat in the future."
The undisguised threatening tone made Qiu Moli angry, and she raised her right hand and knocked off Xuan Zixu's hand. Then she got up and picked up the food on the table, gobbled up a few bites, and before she could swallow it, she slammed the dishes and chopsticks on the table. "I ate it, are you satisfied? Now it's time to get out! ”
At this time, the relationship between Qiu Moli and Xuan Zixu was already like fire and water, and she said that cooperation does not mean that she has a good face to show Xuan Zixu, let alone that Xuan Zixu can threaten her arbitrarily.
Xuan Zixu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.
"After dinner, go out for a walk. The scenery of Ningcheng is very beautiful, and there are many interesting things. Xuan Zixu said casually, and then got up and left Qiu Moli's room.
And Qiu Moli completely lost his interest in reading the script because of Xuan Zixu's trouble. Since the interest is gone, it is naturally difficult for her to stay in the room, so she had to follow Xuan Zixu's words, change into simple clothes, and swagger out of the post house with the two guards at the door and the maid Ju Xiang, who took care of her all day.
Ning Cheng can be boasted of by Xuan Zixu like that, and he does have his own merits. Even from a certain point of view, the prosperity of Ningcheng is no less than that of Kyoto, coupled with the merchants who come and go here, the inclusiveness of Ningcheng has been brought into full play in the Great Zhou.
Qiu Moli, who was carrying the hat, could see the merchants who were leading horses and pulling goods on foot through the hat, each of them looked tired, but everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, maybe it was because there were good development opportunities here, thinking like this, Qiu Moli stood on the side of the road and walked towards the neat stalls not far away.
"Girl, do you want anything from your daughter's house? We have here the fat powder of Da Zhou Kyoto, the phoenix comb of Dongmo Fengcheng, and the steps of Xianxia, and the quality is good. ”
A woman in her forties saw Qiu Moli stop in front of her stall, so she began to slowly introduce the things she was selling, fiddling with it while talking, following her line of sight, Qiu Moli also saw a lot of exotic things, but she was curious, there are things in Da Zhou and Dongmo here, and even the westernmost Xianxia has them, why is there only a lack of things in Lingbei?
"Auntie, why don't you have anything to lead the north?" Qiu Moli couldn't help but ask curiously.
Seeing Qiu Moli asking, the woman lowered her body and whispered. "Now that the Great Zhou and Lingbei have lifted the restrictions on trade, there is no need to pay taxes for things in Lingbei, so the prefect specially opened up a whole business place for Lingbei merchants in the east of the city, saying that it is convenient to manage, so things in Lingbei are basically not available in small stalls like ours."
Open up a place to do business? In other words, those merchants in the north have to pay more rent to rent formal shops? It seems that the free trade between Da Zhou and Lingbei is not as free as she imagined, at least from what she knows, these mobile stalls do not have to pay rent, and even if they do, they have very little management fees.
Sure enough, he accepted that sentence, and the people of the royal family are all cunning foxes.
The woman frowned and pondered when she saw Qiu Moli, thinking that she was too far away from the east of the city, so she whispered again. "Girl, I see that you are also a kind person, if you really want to lead the north of things, I have one here, but it has been some years, I don't know if the girl will like it."
"Oh, what's that?" Qiu Moli asked curiously.
The woman looked around, and after making sure that no one noticed her, she took out a small black box from a box beside the stall, which had no lines on it except for the black lacquer, and looked ordinary, but it was indeed something that was some years old, as the woman said, because the black paint had peeled off a lot.
Qiu Moli stared at the woman's hand tightly, and then watched the woman slowly open the box. (To be continued.) )
