Chapter 260: The country and the mountains can have you
Lin Mei sighed, only to feel that there were too many worries recently, plus Lin Shi's affairs...... And Tang Yuanzhi, that bastard! Now that Shu Wangjin is back, Tang Yuanzhi owes Lin Shi the letter of resignation, and she has to help Lin Shi get it back no matter what! And then there'......
Tang Yuanzhi, that brute, even dared to kick his own child to death! made Lin Shi lose her heart and go crazy, how could she be so cheap to him!
As long as Lin Mei thought of this, she felt very sad in her heart, and she couldn't wait to eat Tang Yuanzhi alive, but even so, it was difficult to understand the hatred in her heart, and if she really did that, maybe she would have to deserve her own little life, which was really not cost-effective......
"Shu Wangjin, do you know Boss Yu of Yuji Silk Village in Jinzhou City?" After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Mei still decided to solve Tang Yuanzhi's matter by herself, she really didn't want to trouble Shu Wangjin anymore for such a thing.
Shu Wangjin didn't ask Lin Mei why, but just thought about it slightly, and said, "The Shu family used to have some business dealings with Jinzhou, but it was just the Yuji Silk Village that Miss Lin said...... I really don't remember when I had dealings with his family, so I don't think I know him. ”
When Lin Mei heard Shu Wangjin say this, she couldn't help sighing, looked at him with a pout, and said, "Forget it...... Let's talk about these things later, when I find Lin Shi, I will go to the Tang Mansion and ask Tang Yuanzhi to write a letter of resignation. ”
Shu Wangjin raised her eyebrows, pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "If there are other things that can help Miss Lin, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"But...... You can't help me with anything else! Lin Mei looked sad and glanced at Shu Wangjin. He lowered his head and sighed, thinking about how to do this well.
And on the side of the county magistrate of Linshan County, Xiao Zijin just came out of the pharmacy. Hearing that Qi Xiuchao was in his house, he went straight to the dormitory.
On the way, she ran into Liu Xianling, but Xiao Zijin nodded slightly, and then went directly into Qi Xiuchao's house, and the guards standing outside the door naturally did not dare to stop her, and when she was about to speak, she saw that Xiao Zijin had already entered the door, and closed the carved wooden door with a "bang".
As soon as Xiao Zijin entered the door, he saw a beautiful woman leaving Qi Xiuchao's side. The action was very embarrassing, looking at the appearance just now, it should be lying in front of Qi Xiu's chest.
The woman took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes. pretended to calmly retract his embarrassed look, and said lightly, "Why are you so unruly?" Are those subordinates outside all decorations?! ”
Although Xiao Zihuan didn't have much affection for Qi Xiuchao in his heart, he was afraid that he still had a lot of resentment towards him. But Qi Xiuchao is her husband no matter what she says now. It's really not someone else's turn to get involved!
Qi Xiuchao was about to speak and explain Xiao Zijin's identity to the woman, but when he saw that Xiao Zijin's whole person was overbearing, he looked at the woman and said coldly, "Lord Wang, is this your new side concubine?" It's too unruly, and when I see my concubine, I don't kneel down and salute to say hello, what's the use of asking her? ”
Xiao Zijin's tone was light. But there is a majesty in these words.
Qi Xiuchao naturally didn't think that Xiao Zijin was jealous, so he smiled at the woman. "White girl, this is the princess of this king, if you want to talk about etiquette, it should be the white girl who salutes the princess of this king."
The woman's face suddenly stiffened, and she knew that Qi Xiuchao would not stand on her side, so she immediately retracted her domineering momentum and bowed to Xiao Zijin and her pitiful bow.
Xiao Zijin didn't even think it was a waste of energy to look at her, and said directly to Qi Xiuchao coldly, "Lord, the concubine has something to discuss with you, please expel this unrelated person, if the prince likes it, this princess is not unacceptable for her to become the concubine's sister, but the concubine believes that the prince's vision should not be so bad, and she likes such a glamorous woman." ”
She was sarcastic in her words, both openly and secretly, that this white girl should be from a Qinglou, not only dressed up with the smell of wind and dust, but also didn't even know the rules in words and deeds!
The woman surnamed Bai was almost so angry when she heard this that she wanted to scream angrily, but the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of Qi Xiuchao still on the side, and she really didn't dare to expose her true nature so quickly, so she bit the corner of her mouth and stopped talking.
Qi Xiuchao glanced at Xiao Zijin with interest, and when he saw that she had a serious face, he slowly smiled and said softly, "Miss Bai Ji, please go out first......
When Miss Bai Ji heard this, she glanced at Qi Xiuchao in disbelief, and then leaned over and saluted, her tone was full of grievances, and she didn't forget to glare at Xiao Zijin fiercely when she went out.
Xiao Zijin was still unmoved, this kind of woman was not worth her effort to deal with at all, Qi Xiuchao was so calm and sober, she must not have to say anything......
"Lord, the concubine just met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the pharmacy."
I'm afraid that Qi Xiuwu wouldn't have imagined that Xiao Zijin would tell Qi Xiuchao about meeting him! It's just because he thinks that Qi Xiuchao and Xiao Zijin are not in harmony, and they don't even have the same room and bed at night, so he will provoke Xiao Zijin like that, let her rely on herself completely when she is weak and helpless, and then help to set up Qi Xiuchao's news.
Qi Xiuchao heard Xiao Zijin say this, he just frowned slightly, how could he not know that the prince and Xiao Zijin frequently "met" in his absence in the past few days, if it is not crooked, it is difficult, but Qi Xiuwu has always been a disciplined person, so Qi Xiuchao did not say anything about it, but now Xiao Zijin has come to him about it, so it seems that Qi Xiuwu is really a little wrong.
"Lord, before the concubine talks about the next speculation, I just want to ask the prince, can the prince trust the concubine?" Xiao Zijin stood in front of Qi Xiuchao like this, with no sadness or joy on his face, and his expression was indifferent.
She didn't want to tell Qi Xiuchao about these speculations, lest she blame herself when the two brothers fell out of harmony, but if the crown prince got rid of Qi Xiuchao, then she couldn't sit idly by anymore. Although she and Qi Xiuchao, the king of Yu, did not hold a big wedding, and there was no fact of husband and wife, they would never let her go of the means and scheming of the above officials and concubines. Therefore, she is now one with Qi Xiuchao, one glory and common prosperity, one loss and common loss!
Qi Xiuchao's face was calm. also knew that Xiao Zijin's next words might make him very unhappy, but he still smiled patiently and said, "We are already husband and wife, we should trust each other, what can't we say?" ”
Xiao Zijin exhaled slightly and said softly, "I only met the prince yesterday. But today he found out my identity and ...... I know the grievances between Imperial Doctor Zhang and me, between words. You want to entrap me...... Therefore, I want to ask you here, do you have any grievances with the prince? ”
If there were, she would have better prepare for it and run away......
Qi Xiu's face paused. His eyes were dark as water. After a long time, he laughed again, with a slight hoarseness in his voice, "I don't have a grudge with the imperial brother, but the crown prince has a grudge with this king......"
What kind of person Xiao Zijin is, he naturally understood the meaning of Qi Xiuchao's words at once.
If it was just Qi Xiuwu and Qi Xiuchao, the two brothers would naturally not have any festivals, but now the crown prince has a grudge against another prince who is very likely to ascend to the throne of the unification, and this feud ...... It's not something that can be explained in a few simple words.
Xiao Zijin lowered his eyelashes and said. "Then how are you doing, prince?" Do you continue to hide or compete with the prince?
It is said that the emperor's family is ruthless, and Xiao Zijin has seen it before he gets married. But the only thing that can be fortunate is that she is not really married now, otherwise if the crown prince ascends the throne at that time, I am afraid that even the Xiao family will not be able to escape the disaster of blood!
Qi Xiuchao didn't care very much, just because there was another thing that was more important than this one at the moment, and that was the plague in Linshan County......
"Brother Huang, if he wants to make a move, I will accompany him......" Qi Xiuchao narrowed his eyes slightly, his face seemed to be smiling, but Xiao Zijin saw a rare gloom and sadness on his face.
And here in the courtyard of the Xiao family, Liu Yufei was also very angry after seeing Xiao Zihuan leave with his sleeves brushed away, and rushed back to his house directly, but when he saw the poor women in his house, he couldn't speak, and only felt that he had failed to live up to their expectations.
The youngest girl saw Liu Yufei's angry face, and couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright, seeing that she didn't mean to hurt herself, and knew that she should have failed to plead, she was also very sad in her heart, and almost cried again.
Liu Yufei naturally didn't have the face to face them, looking at their pitiful eyes, he really felt that they were pitiful, so he pursed his lips and said, "When I leave the house, I will definitely help you report to the official!" Especially the black-faced man who abducted and sold you earlier, and the owner of this mansion! Neither is a good thing! ”
When those women heard this, they all sobbed quietly again, although Liu Yufei was very unbearable, but how could he help them if he sent people under the fence? He ruthlessly picked up the burden that had been prepared on the table and Lin Shidao, "Let's go." ”
Lin Shi blinked, gave them the snack he had been hiding in his sleeve, and whispered, "You eat ......."
Liu Yufei's heart was sour, he only felt that he was useless, so he held back the tears in his eyes, pulled Lin Shi and walked directly outside the house, at the gate of this courtyard, sure enough, a carriage had been parked, and at a glance, he knew that it was ordered by Xiao Zihuan.
As soon as the servant driving the carriage saw Liu Yufei coming, he smiled and said, "Miss Liu, are you here...... My son-in-law told me to wait here for you for a long time! ”
Liu Yufei has a gentle temper, so he is very liked by these subordinates in the other courtyard, and he is completely treated the same as Lin Mei.
Liu Yufei was in a good mood, because of the attack, he just pursed his lips and nodded with an ugly face without speaking, and after seeing Lin Shi get into the carriage, he stepped on the small pier and said lightly to the little guy who was driving, "Go to the county magistrate of Linshan County." ”
Seeing that Liu Yufei was in a bad mood, the little guy took the conversation and drove the carriage in the direction of Linshan County.
Unexpectedly, they hadn't gone far before they were stopped by seven or eight officials in official uniforms, so frightened that the little guy almost didn't fall off the carriage, and pleaded with his mouth, "Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones are good people, and they haven't done anything illegal......
Liu Yufei heard the movement in the car, calmed Lin Shi, who was frightened and shrunk beside her, pulled up the car curtain, and said softly, "Master Jun, I don't know if you are here to inspect?" If it were, it would be just me and another girl in the car...... This is our waist card, please take a look at ......"
As he spoke, Liu Yufei took out two waist cards from his body and handed them to the soldier at the head, but he didn't expect the soldier to push her hand away, and his face was still fierce until he saw Liu Yufei, and he suddenly became gentle, and his voice softened a little, and explained to Liu Yufei, "Girl, we are offended, but please wait here for a while, and we will be ......there immediately."
Soon after he said this, he saw the prefect of Jinzhou and many soldiers riding horses from another road, and Liu Yufei's heart was a lot more settled after seeing that it was an acquaintance.
"Uncle Li!" Liu Yufei raised his voice and shouted, looking happy.
After the prefect of Jinzhou grabbed the horse, he stared at it, and saw that it was Liu Yufei, the daughter of Liu Zhixian, and couldn't help but look even more solemn on his face, could it be that Liu Yufei was also kidnapped by Sun Li? That's not good......
"Uncle Li, are you on official business?" Liu Yufei saw that the prefect of Jinzhou was looking at him with a serious face, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Miss Liu, who else is in your carriage?" When the prefect of Jinju got off the horse nearby, he wanted to walk in and take a look, but when he thought that Sun Li might be in the carriage, he hesitated and stood in place and asked.
Liu Yufei frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but he also pretended to be submissive and replied, "Uncle Li, I have a girlfriend in this carriage, and there is no one else." ”
"Let the young lady in the carriage also come out and let me see ......" The prefect of Jinzhou frowned, still a little unbelieving what Liu Yufei said.
Liu Yufei seemed to sense the distrust of the Jinzhou prefect, pursed his lips secretly, and whispered to Lin Shi in the carriage, "Little poem, be good, come out and ......."
Lin Shi had always listened to Liu Yufei's words, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, he walked out with his mouth pursed, looked at the Jinzhou prefect quietly, and didn't speak, just stared at him straight.
The prefect of Jinzhou was a little hairy by Lin Shi's staring, and couldn't help but stretch his head to look inside the carriage, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no one in the carriage, but the pressure in his heart was also heavier, if Sun Li was really not in Shufu and fled to Linshan County alone, it would be his fault alone......
At the thought of this, the prefect of Jinju frowned more and more...... (To be continued.) )
