Chapter 183: Everything is to blame
Zhao Tao thought so in his heart, although he was more and more suspicious of Liu County's order, he didn't dare to speculate about the elder, and this elder was still Liu Yufei's father.
Seeing that Xiao Zijin and the four of them were getting farther and farther, Zhao Tao knew that it was not a way to hesitate any longer, so he simply followed left and right, pretending to be wandering along the way, and followed Xiao Zijin and them.
Xiao Zijin naturally didn't know this, since Lin Mei and Liu Yufei left today, everything was originally good, and Zhou Yanji also knew that she was not likable, so she didn't bother her much, and she was happy and quiet. It didn't take long for Marquis An Yuan to arrive, and there was no master in the county order mansion at that time, so she received it on her behalf and arranged it, and everything was in order, but she didn't expect that at this moment, Qi Xiuchao and his party came back, and brought back the strange woman she saw in Qi Xiuchao's room a few days ago.
The woman is quite safe today, knowing that Xiao Zijin is the concubine of Qi Xiuchao, she bowed kindly and humbly, but there was a little more sadness between her eyebrows, Xiao Zijin has always been a person who doesn't offend me, I don't offend him, so I didn't find much fault with the woman, and after responding lightly, she let the woman be flattened.
Later, Xiao Zijin learned that this strange woman was a famous Oiran in the Wenxiang Pavilion of Jinzhou City, although it was not as exaggerated as in the capital, but there were countless rich children and descendants of high-ranking officials who were willing to throw dozens of gold for her Bai Ji, especially the young masters of many rich families from other places came to see this legendary Oiran who smiled at a hundred gold.
Xiao Zijin has lived in the family since he was a child, and what he accepted and was instilled with was the concept of three wives and four concubines. Therefore, she didn't think that what happened to Qi Xiuchao bringing Bai Ji back, as long as she didn't threaten her status as a wife, even if she was a woman in the Qinglou, what matter? Of course. The premise is ...... The woman had no abnormalities.
When Qi Xiuchao came back, he also deliberately glanced at Xiao Zijin, and saw that she looked cold and didn't have any other reaction, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Shu Wangjin glanced at Qi Xiuchao and Xiao Zijin thoughtfully, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally a smile pursed slightly at the corner of his mouth, as if he was sure of something.
Later, as Shu Wangjin said to Lin Mei before, Zhou Yanji talked to Bai Ji because she was bored. Bai Ji also has no relatives and no reason here, and there are no people she knows, so she chatted with Zhou Yanji without a match. But fortunately, the two had similar interests, and soon became sisters, happily talking about some intimate topics.
Although Bai Ji is kind and mellow, she can be mixed into an Oiran in a place like the Blue Building. Beauty and intelligence are just as indispensable. Therefore, she did not tell Zhou Yanji about her love for Qi Xiuchao.
But how could a villain like Zhou Yanxi not see who Bai Ji's admirer was? From Bai Ji's eyes that have been following Qi Xiuchao and never stopped, you can see who the person she loves is, and this is also in line with Zhou Yanji's intentions, after all, Xiao Zijin is not easy to mess with, and Xiao Zijin is Qi Xiuchao's concubine, so she doesn't want to provoke Xiao Zijin for the position of a side concubine of King Yu!
Later, the two walked and walked to the back kitchen, and at this time a little girl came over, and saw that it was the maid sent by Liu County Commander to Qi Xiuchao to serve, so Zhou Yanxi immediately stopped the maid. asked, did he send tea to King Yu in the past.
The little maid replied to Zhou Yanxi's words after saluting. Said he came to serve hot tea.
Zhou Yanji glanced at Bai Ji, who was hesitating next to her, her words were full of hints, and finally said to the little maid that she and Miss Bai Ji would bring the tea over, although the little maid felt a little bad, but she didn't dare to resist the guest's order too much, so she saluted.
Bai Ji didn't seem to be very good at Zhou Yanji, but Zhou Yanji directly brought out tea from the back kitchen and asked Bai Ji to send it over, Bai Ji hesitated for a long time, but still took the tea in Zhou Yanji's hand and went to Qi Xiuchao's house, but, unexpectedly, Wu Lao was also in Qi Xiuchao's house.
At that time, Wu Lao was discussing with Qi Xiuchao, Qi Xiuwu and others, and saw Bai Ji coming in with tea, but when he saw the maid who was dressed unusually, he consciously paused and turned his head slightly.
But at this time, Wu Lao smelled a particularly familiar smell, subconsciously frowned, and looked at the tea in Bai Ji's hand suspiciously.
At that time, although Wu Lao was suspicious, he didn't dare to say anything, but when Bai Ji poured him a cup of tea, he dared to be sure that this was a forbidden drug that had long been banned in the palace......
Later, there was the scene that Lin Mei saw, and Bai Ji and Zhou Yanxi were also frightened and suspicious of each other, thinking that it was the other party's hand, and they had a lot of suspicion for each other.
And Qi Xiuwu interrogated Bai Ji and Zhou Yanxi in the court, and immediately let the two of them kneel without opening their mouths, this kneeling is half an hour, how could Zhou Yanxi suffer like this, and she almost didn't cry, but Qi Xiuwu didn't open her mouth, and it was naturally impossible for An Yuanhou to intervene, so the moment Lin Mei broke in with silence, this broke the embarrassment in the hall.
But Qi Xiuchao felt sorry for Bai Ji's weak body, so his eyes made Xiao Zijin let Bai Ji go, and that Zhou Yanji was just a passing.
Because of this, Xiao Zijin has a belly of anger, although she and Qi Xiuchao are not husband and wife, but how to say that they also have the name of husband and wife, she takes care of Qi Xiuchao in everything, and she ignores even Qi Xiuwu pulling her in, but Qi Xiuchao now wants her to save another woman, which simply makes her lose face, not to mention that there are so many people on the spot......
Xiao Zijin is cold by nature, but he is extremely face-saving and has always been curious, otherwise he would not have the current Xiao Zijin.
Therefore, Qi Xiuchao openly asked Xiao Zijin to rescue Bai Ji, for Xiao Zijin, it was equivalent to a slap in the face to her in public, but she could only swallow her anger and respond to Qi Xiuchao's request. It's just that she is not strong enough now, so she can only follow Qi Xiuchao's wishes. And can't save his face.
It's just that although Xiao Zijin exempted Bai Ji from the sin, he was extremely unhappy in his heart, so Qi Xiuwu let them disperse, Xiao Zijin led his personal maid to go outside to relax, and Liu Xianling happened to be on the way with her, so he gave her a ride.
It's just that Xiao Zijin didn't know that her every move since she left the county mansion was seen by Zhao Tao, which caused a big trouble later.
And Xiao Zijin didn't go out for long. I saw Qi Xiuchao, who was smiling deeply, and stood not far behind her, causing the women and men around her to be unable to walk. looked at the two of them in a daze.
"Miss...... It's the prince. Although Heyi has a cold temperament, he also understands his young lady's heart better, and when he saw Xiao Zijin angry and walked forward, he called Xiao Zijin softly.
"When he came, he came. We go ours. What is he doing? Besides, this is not the capital, I am here to wander around, is it still in the way of his eyes? Xiao Zijin said coldly, didn't look at Qi Xiuchao, and then walked forward quickly, but his steps were obviously in a hurry.
He Yi followed behind Xiao Zijin and stopped talking.
Qi Xiuchao raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Xiao Zijin didn't look at himself, he still walked forward. And he walked faster and faster, and he knew why Xiao Zijin was angry, so he immediately hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said loudly, "Lady......"
He was born handsome, and the current woman loves such a son-in-law with red lips and white jade faces, and he is even more of a deer in his heart, but when he heard his words, his heart was almost broken, looking around for who the "lady" called by this handsome son was.
Xiao Zijin naturally heard Qi Xiuchao's voice, and his footsteps immediately stopped, and his face, which had always been immovable, also faintly showed the color of green iron.
"Miss...... The prince is calling you, or else, let's go over, right? He Yi frowned slightly, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Xiuchao's slightly malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but shudder, and his voice trembled a little, "Miss, the prince is the prince after all, and outside, it is ...... to give the prince some face."
Xiao Zijin was originally irritable, but after listening to Heyi's words, he was even more angry, and immediately paused and walked back, and slowly walked in front of Qi Xiuchao under the surprised and envious eyes of the women around him, and looked at him coldly.
"Husband, the appearance of the concubine is not to say that it is overwhelming, but she also thinks that she is a shy flower in the closed moon, and the concubine is really incomprehensible...... What is the difference between the concubine and the girl? If you talk about appearance, the concubine is not worse than her, not to mention, the concubine's maiden family is a famous scholarly family, and the concubine has been literate and reading since she can remember...... And Guzheng Konghou, the concubine body is also involved......"
Xiao Zijin said, the more angry the men and women next to him became, the woman was ashamed, not to mention other talents, just this look, there are few people in the world who can compare; And those men were not worth Xiao Zijin, and sighed that if they had a wife like this, it would be too late to be pampered, so how could they run outside to hook up?
The corners of Qi Xiuchao's mouth twitched slightly, he was really impressed by Xiao Zijin's words, he naturally didn't think that Xiao Zijin was really eating Bai Ji's vinegar, but he just felt that his position as the concubine was threatened.
However, Xiao Zijin's slightly bitter words made every man angry, and there were so many people watching the excitement nearby, as long as this man still had a little conscience and a little face, he wouldn't be like anything to Xiao Zijin, not to mention, such a flower-like face, ordinary men must not really be good, right?
"The lady said with a smile......" Qi Xiuchao said, then walked over and held Xiao Zijin's hand, looking at her with a sincere face.
Xiao Zijin's body stiffened slightly, the whole person tensed, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand from Qi Xiuchao's hand, but Qi Xiuchao's grip was really tight, and in this public, since the acting has begun, it is necessary to do a full set of ......
"What does husband mean, don't you take that girl into the house?"
Immediately, Xiao Zijin also pretended to be in love with Qi Xiuchao, looking at him with a slight grievance in his eyes, usually his clothes were cold, but now there was a slight grievance in his eyes, which made Qi Xiuchao's heart suffocate, and he could hardly take his eyes off.
Xiao Zijin means this, don't you want to take Bai Ji to the capital......
It's just that Qi Xiuchao slowly came back to his senses, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker, the relationship between him and Bai Ji was naturally not what Xiao Zijin thought, although he would definitely go to the capital in the future, but he would definitely not go to Yuwang's Mansion!
"Husband?" Xiao Zijin saw Qi Xiuchao looking at his eerie smile, the expression on his face also stiffened, and he thought that Qi Xiuchao was impatient with himself, who thought that Qi Xiuchao would take her hand and stride forward, and said in her ear as she walked, "Doesn't the lady want to act?" Since you have played the opening, you have to keep acting......"
Xiao Zijin was already petite, and he couldn't keep up with Qi Xiuchao's footsteps at all, but seeing him walking so fast, he took a few breaths and took a big step, so he barely followed.
She also thought that Qi Xiuchao was talking about acting now, but how did she know that Qi Xiuchao's real thoughts were ......
And Zhao Tao followed Xiao Zijin and Qi Xiuchao not far behind, in case Xiao Zijin found out, he also bought a folding fan to cover his face, if Xiao Zijin and Qi Xiuchao glanced back, he used the folding fan to cover his face directly.
I didn't go far, but I met an acquaintance......
"Brother Tang, why are you here?"
There were not many people on the streets of Linshan County, and now everyone is in danger, but since a few days ago, Imperial Doctor Zhang ordered people to distribute herbal medicines, the plague has been much better, so there are also some restaurants and inns that have opened their doors to receive those people who come to the city to visit their relatives.
Tang Yuanzhi was wandering on the street in despair, and suddenly heard Zhao Tao's voice, so he turned around, smiled stiffly, and arched his hand, "Brother Zhao......"
"Brother Tang, aren't you out of the city? How could it be ......" Zhao Tao saw Tang Yuanzhi's dejected appearance, and couldn't help but glance down at himself, and instantly had a feeling that he was also a fallen person at the end of the world, everyone was so sloppy and bearded Zara, although he didn't know what happened to Tang Yuanzhi, but when he saw this raunchy appearance, he should also be disappointed.
Tang Yuanzhi glanced at Zhao Tao and smiled bitterly, he didn't want to explain much about his own affairs, just because he was to blame for all this, no wonder others ...... (To be continued.) )
