Chapter Eighty-Six: Red Pink

I crawled back from Changsha, probably because I messed around too much, my throat was swollen, my throat was hoarse, my arms and legs were painful, all kinds of tired, tired, let's change these today. Forgive me, Momoda. Hmm, I locked up the manuscript in a small black room, haven't you been waiting to see her for a few months? This time I'm back, and I'll take over the matter of a monthly pass. Come, come, come, spread your hands...... Courtship......

------Off topic------

Xie Fanghua withdrew his hand from his forehead when he heard this, "Okay, let's find Xie Yunji!" ”

Yueniang nodded, "Xie Yunji is the successor of the Xie family's salt warehouse, so he should be able to get it!" ”

"If you ask Xie Yunji, he should be able to come up with some valuable news about Xie Yunlan!" Xie Fanghua said.

Yueniang nodded, "That's it!" Xie's rice grain secretly moved closer to the royal family, and Xie's salt warehouse has been close to the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion. ”

Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, thought for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said to her, "Xie's rice grain and Xie's salt warehouse have always been the two major meridians of Xie's. They should be on guard against each other and understand each other. ”

"Xie Rice Grain has become more and more cautious in his actions over the years because of his proximity to the emperor, especially since Xie Yunlan has been in Pingyang City, he rarely shows up. With only one rouge building on me, it's not easy to have a way. Yueniang said.

"I've already asked Tianji Pavilion to check on Chu Chi." Xie Fanghua squinted his eyes hesitantly, and his voice changed slightly, "But Chu Chi is different from Xie Yunlan after all. Chu Chi's identity is mysterious, and even if he uses Tianji Pavilion to check him, he will be discovered by Qin Yu and him. It doesn't matter. But this Xie Yunlan ......," she paused, "what Qin Yu knows, he may not necessarily tell the emperor." However, Xie Yunlan of Xie's rice grain is indeed inappropriate to use Tianji Pavilion. The words fell, looking at Yueniang, "What do you have to do?" ”

Yueniang looked at her and hesitated, "Master, the Xie family's rice grain is deeply involved with the royal family, and my news is only occasionally collected by Rouge Lou over the years and bought from outside." If we investigate further, if we want deeper information, we can only use the secret agents of Tianji Pavilion. However, in that case, Tianji Pavilion would be detected by the royal family and the Xie family's rice grain. Once you notice it, you will definitely be on guard. Maybe it will be bad for us in the future? Are you sure you want to use the secret agents of Tianji Pavilion for a Xie Yunlan? ”

Xie Fanghua threw the letter on the table and said to Yueniang, "These news are not good, go and check again, I want deeper news." ”

If Xie's rice grain can be selected by the emperor, and Xie Yunlan can be selected by Xie's rice grain, then naturally it will not be as simple as it seems.

As for what he has done in Pingyang City in the past three years, he only said that he is not in good health, and the climate in Pingyang City is mild, so he stayed in Pingyang City to recuperate and take care of Xie's rice and grain industry by the way.

Since three years ago, he has lived in Binh Duong City all year round and has never returned to Kyoto.

For so many years, he has been very low-key. Yueniang brought dozens of pages of Lala's miscellaneous items, but they only recorded his ordinary trivial matters. Although some of his style can be seen from these ordinary trivialities, she thinks that it should be what he wants people to see.

Before the age of ten, he was known for his intelligence and eagerness to learn. After the age of ten, he was praised for his calmness and introvertedness.

Xie Rice Grain has a total of more than a dozen sons in the current family, and Xie Yunlan is the third son of Xie's Rice Grain today. Since childhood, he has been talented, sensitive and studious, and at the age of ten, he was selected by the Xie family as the future heir of Xie's rice grain. Nine years now, now he is nineteen years old, and he still sits firmly in this position.

Xie Fanghua has the ability to read ten lines at a glance, and after half an hour, he finished reading all the stacks of papers.

Yueniang sat aside and didn't disturb her.

Xie Fanghua looked at the stack of papers, which were about dozens of sheets, reached out to take them, and nodded.

After about two teas, Yueniang entered the Yanyu Pavilion and handed Xie Fanghua a stack of papers. said to him, "Here is a record of all the things that have happened to the Xie Rice Grain Boy since he was a child. You can take your time. ”

Xie Fanghua heard his footsteps going downstairs, opened his eyes, looked out the window, and saw that he came out of the Rouge Building in a short time. She squinted her eyes and looked out for a while before slowly retracting her gaze.

Zhao Ke turned around and went downstairs.

Xie Fanghua said "um".

Zhao Ke originally wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Xie Fanghua's attitude was obviously rigid, he didn't expect a weak and gentle woman to be so hard. He could only give up, "Then I will leave first, and go back to tell my son-in-law." ”

Chunhua and Qiuyue have been guarding the door, and when they heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and closed the door, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Ke.

"It's already here, and the reputation has been damaged, so you're afraid of staying a few more days?" Xie Fanghua closed his eyes and said gloomily, "Don't say it, if Qin Zheng doesn't come to take me away, I won't go anywhere." The words fell, and he shouted to the outside, "Come on, send off guests!" ”

"Miss Fanghua, this is the land of smoke and willows, you actually know that you can't stay here because you are angry with the second son of Zheng. It's a detriment to your reputation. Zhao Ke originally thought that it was a safe thing to invite her, but he didn't expect her not to leave, and he was surprised for a while.

"Let's go! Sue Brother Yunlan, if I don't go, I'll stay here and not go anywhere. Xie Fanghua waved his hand at Zhao Ke and walked back to the recliner.

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment.

Xie Fanghua put aside his face and said aggrievedly, "It was Qin Zheng who brought me here." He doesn't take me away, I don't go anywhere. ”

Zhao Ke thought that Xie Fanghua knew that this was the land of smoke and willows, and he was so surprised just now, he was not pretending at all, and he would definitely leave. I didn't expect her to leave. He suddenly asked, "Why?" ”

"No way!" Xie Fanghua said categorically, "I won't leave." ”

Zhao Ke knew that she also felt that her identity was inappropriate to live here, and spreading it would damage the reputation of Miss Zhongyong Houfu. He hurriedly said, "Those who don't know are not guilty." Miss Fanghua just left quickly. ”

Xie Fanghua was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he calmed down, waved his hand and slowly lowered the curtain that was opened, turned his head suddenly, and seemed to feel a little inappropriate about his faux pas just now, coughed with a low pressure on his lips, and said to Zhao Ke, "I have been raised in the deep boudoir since I was a child, and this time Qin Zheng came out of the capital and came to Pingyang City." I didn't expect to live here. It's really ......" she didn't say the rest of the words.

Zhao Ke also felt that as the second son of Prince Ying's mansion, he had been playing with a group of noble sons in Beijing since he was a child. Even if he is not close to women, he should have seen a pig run if he has never eaten pork. How can you not know that this is the land of smoke willows? He coughed and whispered, "Probably...... It is rumored that the second son of Zheng is not close to women, so he may not know. ”

"He's Qin Zheng, how could he not know?" Xie Fanghua glared at Zhao Ke in obvious disbelief.

Zhao Ke hurriedly took two steps back, lowered his head and said cautiously, "Miss Hui Fanghua, I don't know that the second son of Zheng doesn't know that this is a place to make fireworks for Liu Mo in Flower Street!" ”

Xie Fanghua came to the door angrily, picked up the bead curtain, looked at Zhao Ke, and seemed to be so angry that he couldn't choose to speak, "You...... You say, why didn't he tell me that this was the kind of place? ”

Zhao Ke was still silent.

Xie Fanghua suddenly stepped forward, picked up the cup on the table and slammed it on the ground, the cup shattered in response, she was angry, "Why didn't he say that this is the land of smoke and willows?" Actually let me stay here...... How could he not sue me? ”

When Zhao Ke heard her mention Qin Zheng, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.

Xie Fanghua looked at Zhao Ke in surprise and inexplicably, as if she was stunned, she was silent for a long time, and after half a cup of tea time, she said in disbelief, "Qin Zheng...... He even let me live in a place like this? ”

Zhao Ke took a step back, nodded, and said affirmatively, "I didn't say anything wrong, this is the kind of place!" ”

Xie Fanghua stood up when he heard this, and exclaimed, "What did you say?" ”

Zhao Ke finally looked up at the room, through the beaded curtain and green curtain, the woman was slender, soft, and her appearance was faintly alluring. He sighed secretly, and sure enough, he was worthy of being the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion hidden in the boudoir. This elegance deserves her name and her identity. There are many young ladies in Beijing, even the princesses in the palace, I am afraid that no one can compare. Li Rubi and the county lord of Jinyan are afraid that they can't. He lowered his head and explained in a low voice, "It's the land of fireworks in the alleys and alleys of the flower streets. ”

"The Land of Fat Powder?" Xie Fanghua was puzzled, "What is the land of red powder?" ”

Zhao Ke still didn't look up at Xie Fanghua, and explained respectfully, "This is the land of red powder. ”

"What does Rouge House do for a living? Why didn't I live here when I knew? Isn't this an inn? Xie Fanghua asked with a puzzled frown, this tone really didn't seem to know what he was doing here.

"This is the Rouge Building, Miss Fanghua probably doesn't know what the Rouge Building does for a living, so she lives here. If you knew, you wouldn't be living here. As a young lady from the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, how can she live here? Zhao Ke tasted the slight melancholy in Xie Fanghua's tone, and wondered if she was in a bad mood because she was left in this rouge building by the second son of Zheng.

"I'm pretty good here." Xie Fanghua's tone was slightly melancholy.

The emperor would never reach out to someone who had no value, such as the Xie family's long house. He had selected Xie's rice grains early in the morning.

The steward of Pingyang City is so calm and introverted, and his behavior is moderate, no wonder Xie's rice grain can be valued by the emperor.

Xie Fanghua looked Zhao Ke up and down seriously through the bead curtain at the door. I saw that he was about forty years old, with a beard, and a cheeky and honest face, and from the moment he came to the door, he did not break into the inner room or peek at her through the curtain.

In a word, he explained his identity, name, and mission.

The man stopped at the door and replied respectfully, "Miss Hui Fanghua, down here is Zhao Ke, the manager of Xie's rice grain in Pingyang City." On the orders of my son-in-law, I have come to invite you to come to live in the house. ”

Not long after, Yueniang came to the door with the middle-aged scribe and said a word to Xie Fanghua, but Xie Fanghua didn't let the person in, but only said softly to the door, "Are you the manager of Xie's rice grain in Pingyang City?" ”

Xie Fanghua retracted his gaze and lazily half lay back on the recliner.

Xie Fanghua turned her head to look out the window, only to see that after Yueniang went downstairs, she said a few words to the middle-aged scribe, and the middle-aged scribe nodded hurriedly, and followed her upstairs with a somewhat humble expression.

"Yes!" Yueniang nodded and walked out of the room.

She thought for a moment and said to Yueniang, "You go and invite that person to me, and then go and check on Xie Yunlan for me." ”

This person was completely alien to him.

For Xie Yunlan, she has almost no memory of this person, whether it is in her past life or in this life.

However, since Xie Yunji gave her a list of those who have been deeply involved with the royal family, Xie's rice grain has borne the brunt. Although the family banquet of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion went, Xie Yunlan did not go, which is not surprising. Just on Chinese New Year's Eve, where did he go?

Xie Fanghua thought that on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion held a banquet, and almost all the young ladies in the Xie clan went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. But it was this son who didn't have Xie's rice grain, at least she didn't see it.

"Yes, he said their son-in-law. Although the head of the Xie family's rice grain family has many heirs, the one who can be the son is Xie Yunlan alone. He is the successor of Xie's rice grain. Yueniang said.

"Xie Yunlan?" Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows.

Yueniang sighed, "I have already pushed it tactfully, but that person is extremely persistent." It is said that Xie's rice grain and Zhongyong Marquis Mansion are the same. Now Xie Yunlan, the son of Xie's rice grain, has also come to Pingyang City. I heard that you are here, and I specially sent a steward to invite you to come over. ”

"Pushed!" Xie Fanghua said.

Yueniang pushed open the door, and seeing that Xie Fanghua had obviously just woken up and was a little lazy, she approached her and said solemnly, "Master, Xie's rice grain has a steward in Pingyang City, I heard that you came to Pingyang City, and the second son of Zheng threw you in the Rouge Building." Say that you are the young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, how can you live here? She asks you to come and stay. ”

Xie Fanghua said "um", "Come in!" ”

After a while, Yueniang came to her room, knocked lightly at the door, and shouted, "Master! ”

After a while, Yueniang turned her head and went upstairs, and the middle-aged scribe was waiting downstairs.

Yueniang turned her back, and the middle-aged scribe looked sincere.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe talking to Yueniang.

Just as she was asleep, she heard a voice downstairs, vaguely mentioning her name. She frowned, opened her eyes, and turned her head to look out the window.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Back in the Yanyu Pavilion, Xie Fanghua simply had breakfast, because she felt weak because of the Kwai Shui, so she leaned on the soft couch in front of the window and lazily basked in the spring after the rain.

Xie Fanghua turned around and left the small building.

Hua Bo took the roll and nodded.

Xie Fanghua nodded, his expression was a little dignified, he handed the roll paper to Uncle Hua, and said to him, "Send this portrait to Northern Qi to Yan Chen, and see if he can find this person in Chuchi." ”

"Master, does that person named Chu Chi have a secret?" Hua Bo looked at Xie Fanghua's expression and asked tentatively.

Yueniang checked all night and didn't find much useful information about Chu Chi, so it seems that she has to analyze him slowly.

It seems that he and Qin Yu have some kind of agreement and cooperation. It should be a request from Qin Yu. What is it that asks Qin Yu?

Since he is from Meizu, why is he implicated with Qin Yu?

Could it be that Chuchi is also a Meizu person?

It seems to represent Meizu.

This crescent-shaped mark, the pendant chain left by her mother is this shape, the jade pendant of Master Wuyue is also in this shape, and the hairpin on Master Ziyun's head is also in this shape. This shape seems to be a kind of representation.

Xie Fanghua received Hua Bo's reply, and looked at the portrait of Chu Chi on the rolling paper and was silent for a while.
