(643), don't lose the beauty
- This topic turned too quickly, and the maid didn't react a little, and only said after being slightly stunned: I have uncovered the white list, and the black list is still waiting.
The two kinds of bills mentioned in the maid's words are not actually two colors as they are called, but because the white slip can be changed to white, and once the black slip is revealed, the contract of sale represented by the two slips is sealed.
As for the goods tied to the black and white list, they are naturally chic. All goods in the world that are mutually beneficial can be recycled and resold, with the exception of one which is strictly not tradable. However, in a special era and a special environment, some things that cannot be sold have also been put on the table -- because, in the living society, in the face of reality, there is nothing that cannot be measured by value.
Although Shaoling Gongzi is young, he is already a top-notch fast player in this industry, of course he can understand what white and black is, but it is precisely because of this that he will not believe the words of this female servant at this moment.
But he didn't argue directly, but after pondering for a long time, he said slowly: Senior sister, after the incident in Xiahe County Note 2, I have been thinking about a question, would you like to listen?
The young man's senior sister, who was dressed as a maid, just said lightly when she heard this: "Are you trying to dissuade me?"
Of course I know what the rules are. The young man smiled slightly, I just wanted to remind you to be careful.
The question you've been thinking about for half a month is just these two words? The maid took her eyes off the page and looked at the young man Shaoling, shouldn't these two words have been left behind the moment we took off our sect disciple uniforms?
The question I was thinking about was actually very close to the meaning of persuasion. The young man who was looking at the railing turned around, so I want to ask you if you would like to listen first.
Then don't talk about it. The maid's reply was quick and the answer was firm.
Good. The young man did not insist on this topic any longer, and immediately interrupted his thinking and continued directly, turning directly to the topic before that. He sat back down at the table, picked up the book on the table, and continued what he had just left undone, the patrol squad was generally low in individual force. Below the fifth class. But there is a suspected grappling array......
The young man finished reading a passage in an imperceptible voice at a very low speed, and then began to wait, but he waited for a long time and did not hear the sound of the note, and then he raised his eyes and moved the page of the book to look across the side, and saw the woman sitting opposite him as if she was in a trance.
The way you look is really worrying. The young man sighed, I regretted that I shouldn't have said those things just now.
The maid came back to her senses, and when she heard this, she just smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to care, I was distracted just now." Just because I'm thinking about you.
It's mine...... The young man had just spoken, and he hadn't had time to finish a sentence. Suddenly, he frowned, endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, and coughed violently.
When the maid saw this, her heart tightened even more. She hurriedly put down the book and got up and walked behind the young man, raised her hand to gently brush his back, and said worriedly: You look like this. is the most unsettling. Maybe I should have been tough and didn't allow you to come with me. Your poison has not yet healed, and a few days ago you ran into that master...... I'm really worried you're going to get angry.
The young man took a deep breath, slowly suppressed his cough, and said with a pursed lip: Although Xiao Song often treats people to death, his skill in treating snake venom can be called a masterpiece, senior sister, you can rest assured.
The senior sister who pretended to be a maid frowned slightly, but she still couldn't help but say: Did the person surnamed Xiao say when you will be able to completely remove the toxins from your body?
Xiao Chung moved again, but it was his habit. After saving one person, he will not stay in the local area again, and he has left enough medicine before leaving. The young man's tone hesitated, and it would take about ten days to take the medicine according to his instructions.
When the maid heard this, her delicate but weak eyebrows frowned slightly, and said: "That being the case, why are you in a hurry to take orders?" Why not wait until your injuries heal?
According to the description on the white list, this mission is not difficult to do. The young man spoke with a relaxed expression, and the target did not know martial arts.
When the second prince of the dynasty doesn't know martial arts, is it easy to do? The maid glanced at him, have you uncovered your black list?
Not yet. The young man replied truthfully, and after thinking about it, he said again: If the target this time is really Wang Hong, we may be able to cooperate once.
The maid flicked the palm of the young man's back, and said suspiciously: You uncovered my black list?
The kind of thing she said would have been hard to happen, because in the organization she and he belonged to, the chances of two people with tasks running into each other were extremely low, let alone seeing each other's orders to see what was in each other's lists. However, the world is unpredictable, and for some reasons that are not very clear and have no reason to follow, this pair of fellow students met together a few days ago.
Specifically, the young man saved his senior sister. In order to avoid the low-key but intensive supervision officers and soldiers in Kyoto Prefecture in the past few days, the young man used the name of Shaoling Gongzi to build a senior sister in disguise and then infiltrate the Qingfeng Pavilion. The owner of the Qingfeng Pavilion can achieve such a reputation in the mixed party, although it is a mundane thing, the identity is not so simple. The officers and soldiers of Kyoto Prefecture searched here, and they had to give some face, and there were a few independent courtyards because the owner told them to do so, so they didn't sweep too hard.
In recent days, the young man and his senior sister have been staying in the same room all day, ostensibly a maid taking care of the master, but in fact, the two of them have taken turns to be on guard. With such a close relationship, if the young man wants to see the task that his senior sister brought this time, he almost risked his life for it, there must be a lot of opportunities.
But this is a big no-no in the Constitution.
Noticing the change in the look in the senior sister's eyes, the young man just smiled slightly and said, "Do you still need me to reveal it?" Senior sister, you have obviously exposed the black list, why do you still deceive me.
Both black and white documents are information provided for the target, but there are obvious differences. The white sheet is full of text, sometimes comprehensive, sometimes mutilated, but it definitely does not have a portrait attached to it like a black sheet. Once the seal is opened, the mission contract cannot be changed unless the recipient is gone.
If, according to the woman's words, she has not yet uncovered the black list, but this fixed document has been uncovered by the young man, although this is not in accordance with the rules of the faction, but the result can still be regarded as an appointment for reassignment. This kind of sales contract involves the lives of both parties, and before it is assigned, it will be investigated by a special person in the organization before the task is determined to ensure that it can be completed. It was a sudden change like this. It's easy to have big problems.
Not to mention...... This woman did deceive her junior brother. She had obviously uncovered the black list, and she knew whose neck the head she was going to take this time was on, so she understood more and more that if the junior brother in front of her really looked at her black list, the consequences would be so terrible.
This is an impossible task!
Hearing what the junior brother said, and then looking at his calm side face, the maid was stunned at first, and then the hand that was originally resting lightly on his back suddenly exerted force and slapped it with a palm.
……
……
Li Gai took the paper book and didn't open it immediately, but said warmly to the young man in the strong suit: It's hard work. That's all for today, nothing more. You go down first.
Be. The young man bowed again, then turned away.
Li Gai watched him out of the house, then he retracted his gaze and fell on the notebook, and after reading a few pages, he closed the book, threw it on the table, and muttered to himself with some annoyance: It's the Yan family again, how can you continue to be so indulgent.
He had just finished saying this. The casual tone suddenly turned stronger, and he shouted: Who is outside, please come in and say something.
The door to the study creaked open, and the man who walked in hesitated.
Li Gai glanced at the man a few times, his gaze swept over the placket and cuffs of his chest, and finally landed on the handle of the wide-bladed short knife hanging diagonally on his waist, and then raised his eyes and said: You are the fifth rank of the palace?
The palace guards, the attendants of the emperor who walked after leaving the palace, and the palace guards who ranked in the fifth rank were registered. There are only eight in total. But for this person, Li Gai felt a little blind.
The five-rank guard slowly looked at Li Gai's faintly shining eyes, and slowly spoke: Don't be humble, meet Commander Li.
Fortunately. Li Gai also returned the favor.
The rank and authority of the Wupin Palace Guards were more than one level shorter than that of the garrison commanders, but after all, they were the people walking beside the emperor in the forbidden palace, and the glory was greater than the power - even if that glory was a little bit of brilliance from the emperor.
Although Li Gai had doubts in his heart, he knew that if the palace guards were not by the emperor's side, it was most likely a summons. Therefore, he temporarily suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and after finishing the salute, he lowered his hand and asked: I don't know what happened to Your Excellency's visit late at night?
The young guard envoy smiled slightly, and then solemnly took out a piece of bright yellow brocade folded into a small square from his sleeve, and said solemnly: Your Majesty's secret purpose.
Seeing this, Li Gai did not slack off, bowed down on one knee, and made a great salute to the envoy who passed on the holy decree, and took the Ming Huang Mianjin with solemn hands.
After passing the will, the young guard lightly took the handle, stood up with a polite support, and then bowed his hand and said respectfully: The mission of humility has arrived, and this will return to the decree, the hour is not early, and the commander will rest early.
Li Gai smiled and said: Then let the official send the guard envoy a step.
The young guard quickly refused gently: Thank you, please stay with the Commander.
The palace guard who had come to deliver the secret decree came suddenly, and he left in a hurry, and at this time, it was close to three o'clock in the night, and he did not want to leave that person to inquire any longer.
However, when he opened the square yellow brocade and saw a vermilion lacquer imprint printed on the right side of a row of abbreviated words, the doubts in his heart were diluted to a large extent.
The literal content of the secret decree was simple and clear, and the handwriting was recognizable, but for the content of the secret decree, he hesitated slightly, and then walked back to the desk, picked up the pen and quickly drew up a list.
Summoning a close attendant, Rigai sent the list down. When the attendant was gone, he took out of his bosom a fold of fire.
lit the corner of the bright yellow brocade as usual, and Li Gai's heart jumped unnaturally and unnaturally.
Similar to this kind of secret decree, it is actually very non-compliant and customized, in fact, it is equivalent to the emperor casually ordering one thing, and there is no solemnity.
In the past, Li Gai was the shadow of the emperor in the forbidden palace, and he said everything to his face. Later, his identity was no longer hidden, and he served as the commander of the Kyoto garrison, and lived outside the palace, and the emperor wanted to discuss things with him. It is inconvenient for him to always run to the palace, and the terms are complicated and time-consuming along the way, so he often writes in this way.
Naturally. The people who preached this kind of secret decree, Li Gai almost recognized it.
However, the envoy of the emperor's side who came today behaved in a standardized manner, and his courtesy was relaxed, but it always made Li Gai feel that something was missing. But there is no big fault with it.
Could it be that you are overthinking?
Li Gai frowned slightly, and directly pinched out the flame that had just been wrapped around the brocade with his fingers. I crumpled it up and put it in my arms.
……
North Side. Prime Minister's Office.
At this time, the insects hiding under the roots of the trees began to move every night. The chirping of insects exchanged messages that belonged to them, though no one could understand them. But for people, such a sound has a certain sleep-aiding effect.
There was an oil lamp on the square table in the small hall, and the light was not very bright. Yahuan Xiaoqiang sat on a small stool at the table with a round food box in her arms. The light of the oil lamp only traced the outline of her slightly bowed back, not enough to reflect her shadow on the ground.
She looked like she was trying to keep her eyes open so that she wouldn't fall asleep, but her eyelids were fighting uncontrollably.
It had been nearly five days and five nights since the door of the study on the opposite side was last opened. In more than fifty hours. The gentleman, who was a man of few words, liked to feed donkeys, and was secretly described by some people in the house as having a brain problem, except for a meal during the day and a trip to the latrine at night. Just stay in it all the time.
If it weren't for knowing what he was doing in it. According to the instructions of the third young master, he waited outside the study with a food box, and the girl who was ready to be on call would probably think that he would also think. The gentleman he had been waiting for had a brain problem.
When the prime minister was a person with a very regular life and rest, he rarely stayed up all night to deal with official documents, and even when he was so busy, he would not bring the servants of the whole house to accompany him all night. The Prime Minister's idea is also clear in the hearts of servants with a little seniority, that is, servants are also human beings, and servants need proper rest in order to serve the head of the family more energetically.
So. Xiao Qiang, who didn't have the habit of staying up late, suddenly failed to rest early for a few days after the gentleman came back a few days ago, and she was already sleepy at this time.
She didn't last long sitting on the stool in the shape of a 'chicken pecking rice', and almost fell asleep in a trance. When she suddenly came back to her senses, although her body was not planted on the ground, the food box in her arms fell to the ground by mistake, and with a pop, a few dishes of side dishes were scattered on the ground.
Xiao Qiang was taken aback, and her sleepiness suddenly disappeared. I saw that the fallen food box could not be recovered. Her face froze, and then she subconsciously looked at the closed door of the study opposite.
I don't know when the door opened, maybe the sound of the food box falling to the ground drowned out the sound of the door opening? Cen Chi leaned against the door, his straight gaze just met Xiao Qiang's surprised and slightly trembling eyes.
What's going on with you? Cen Chi's hair was slightly scattered, his clothes were slightly messy, and only the tone of his speech was as steady as usual, and naturally there was a trace of coldness that resisted others.
However, Xiao Qiang noticed that the two fingers that Cen Chi had just pressed on his chest hung down after he finished speaking, and he didn't know if he was frightened by the sudden sound just now or for some other reason. She took a step closer with some worry, and when she saw Cen Chi walking out, she quickly stopped and turned around.
Cen Chi walked to the hall and sat down on a chair near him, he glanced at the broken dish and vegetable residue on the ground, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qiang, took a deep breath and smiled slightly: Startle me.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiang's heart was relieved, and she apologized while cleaning up the debris on the ground.
Cen Chi sat on the chair and watched Xiao Qiang squatting on the ground and preparing to pick up the broken disc with his hands, he shook his head imperceptibly, then got up and took the broom placed in the corner of the house, and handed it to Xiao Qiang: Don't pick it up with your hands, it's not good to prick your fingers.
Xiao Qiang was stunned and took the broom, Cen Chi's seemingly casual words poured into her ears, and somehow, a trace of sweetness welled up in her heart.
……
Walking on the stone path that crosses the middle garden of Xiangfu, Xiao Qiang felt that the gentleman was walking slower and slower today.
In the past, when the two of them walked together, he always easily left her behind without her respect, but today, she has silently slowed down, and he can't even keep up with the rhythm.
After walking slowly for a while, about four feet away from the diameter of the garden, Xiao Qiang felt that the footsteps behind her suddenly disappeared. She looked back in secret fright, and saw Cen Chi holding on to a small tree, his eyes drooping, and his chest rose and fell slightly.
What's wrong with you, sir? Xiao Qiang hurriedly ran back and grabbed half of Cen Chi's arm.
It's been a long time since I've been so busy, but I didn't expect my body to be a little unbearable. Cen Chi did not hide it, and said it calmly.
After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly pushed away Xiao Qiang's hand that was holding him, and said softly: Fortunately, it's over, it's okay to rest more in the past few days, don't worry.
Don't worry? How could she not be worried?
I don't know when it started...... It should have been two years ago, when he first arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? In the year of close service, this gentleman, who is polite to everyone, but talented and introverted, has repeatedly solved problems for Xiangye and Young Master, and his every move has begun to tie her up, but her understanding of this bond was vague at that time.
A year ago, he temporarily left the Prime Minister's Mansion to travel far away, and she didn't have to serve in close quarters every day, and only had the opportunity to clean the single courtyard where he lived every once in a while. One day, she was in a daze in the study with a feather duster and was woken up by another sister who was traveling with her, and she realized that she had planted the seeds of affection for him in her heart-
