(821) Thieves in the Commander's Palace?
- After swaying in the shallow sea for a few hours, and finally landing, Mo Ye was a little surprised to find that the man who was holding the boat with a hat did not go ashore together, but supported the boat alone, and he didn't know where it was going.
Soon after she and the killer came ashore, a carriage came from a short distance, and she knew it was the man who had picked him up.
Under the gesture of his eyes, Mo Ye, whose hands and feet were tied, jumped straight towards the carriage like a legendary zombie like when he boarded the ship before. It took a lot of effort to jump to the car door, and looked at the unfamiliar face of the driver who lifted the curtain indifferently, and she stared at the height of the car board, which was difficult.
At this moment, she felt the footsteps behind her approaching, and she suddenly thought of something, and was about to open her mouth to stop it, but it was too late......
The clothes behind him tightened, and then his body was light, three feet off the ground, and he was picked up like a radish and thrown into the carriage.
There was a muffled sound, although there was a thin blanket in the car, it could not stop the impact of the nearly 100-pound body smashed in the air. Mo Ye was stumped, and her eyes were full of stars, and when she came to her senses, she twisted her body and sat upright with difficulty, and saw that the killer was already sitting down opposite her, and the carriage had begun to move forward.
She was about to express a few angry yells, but she was about to speak as she sat up straight, when suddenly she heard a familiar metal crash, which made her unconsciously shut up, and her whole mind was catching the sound.
There was no smooth path on the ground near the shore, and the carriage trembled on the uneven ground, and the metal fell on the board, separated by a thin blanket, and the sound was not completely suppressed.
The body of the car was so big, Mo Ye's eyes swept around the car, and he soon noticed a long object wrapped in ordinary cloth lying flat in a corner.
Mo Ye tried to twist his body and kicked it with his foot, and then followed. When the dull voice came, she heard the killer suddenly speak, and said lightly: "That knife of yours is ugly." But the material is good. However, you won't have a chance to use it again, and when I bring it back and melt it back, it will be a sharp weapon. β
Mo Ye turned his head away from looking at him. Unlike the closed window she had faced earlier on the boat, the window of this carriage had not been sealed because of her ride. She twisted her neck and cast her gaze, although the sitting position was uncomfortable in the swaying carriage, but if she continued to look at the person in front of her, she was afraid that she would lose control.
Finally went ashore, and it was important to think of a way to escape from this person's control earlier, and now I don't have time to make trouble.
ββββ
Ankang Road in the north of the city. The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed, and only the two lanterns hanging next to the gate shone softly, reflecting the glow of the carefully painted gate.
A spider slid straight down from the top of the gate with a filament. Lanterns bring warmth, and holes in the corners provide an environment for wintering. In the past few days, the weather in Kyoto has begun to warm up, and it has gained the vitality of spring. Having gathered a few days in the cracks of the wall, it was ready to weave a large net tonight, and feast on the flying insects that had been attracted by the light of the lamps and had been as successful as it had been in wintering.
- That would be the most delicious prey.
It's just that its net has just opened a straight main line, and the door that obviously won't open lightly at this time in the night suddenly opens.
A young man walked out with a steady and powerful step, and the fat earth spider was so excited by the wind that opened the door that it hung on the spider silk and swayed a little, and it had not had time to climb the silk. It was flattened on the stone steps of the doorway by the foot that seemed to be able to step out of the iron plate, and then there was a second foot, and then a third foot......
If this spider could think like a human, it would have exclaimed on its deathbed the same exclamation as the cedars a few streets away: What a surprise!
The four young men walked out of the house one by one, and then stood outside the door with their hands tied. The ordinary cloth clothes they wore were supported by muscles that were full of strength, and each of them had a light in their eyes like sharpened swords. After four people, a man dressed in a blue brocade robe came out. The noble son with a green jade embedded in the crown of his hair is Shi Xin, the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as Shi Xin walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the four family members who were in front of him just now lowered their eyes slightly, and the five people who approached with the sound of donkey hooves not far away also sped up.
"Subordinates meet the third young master!" In the end, the four family members from the Prime Minister's Mansion walked faster, and after approaching quickly, they saluted Shi Xin together.
"Thank you for this hard trip. Let's go and rest first! Shi Xin gestured to the four people. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter who he treats, he is courteous and first, and of course, the respect and loyalty that the servants of the whole mansion give back to him is also huge.
When the four of them entered the mansion, Shi Xin turned around slightly, and saw Cen Chi who was already approaching, and he immediately greeted him with a happy face: "Brother Cen has not seen you for a year, and you are finally back."
"How dare you have the third son of Lao to greet him? Cen will be restless all night tonight. β
Cen Chi, who was closer, saw Shi Xin and casually threw off the donkey rope in his hand, walked to Shi Xin and stopped, he raised his arms and bowed deeply.
When Cen Chi straightened up, Shi Xin grabbed the forearm of one of his hands, and said with a smile while leading him into the house: "Why not?" I've always treated you as a friend, so don't be polite about it. If Brother Cen really can't sleep tonight because of this, we can talk together with candles. You don't know, I haven't been out of the house for months, and I'm suffocating. β
"Who can hold you!" Cen Chi's courtesy was only a matter of a moment, and soon he relaxed and teased.
"Let's sit down first." Shi Xin smiled.
The donkey was led by a family ear to take a detour to the backyard, and the remaining few family members returned to the house and closed the door, except for the two who stayed behind to guard the door, the other five dispersed. Only the round-faced housekeeper beckoned a few maids to busy cleaning up Cen Chi's lodging and the refreshments for the guests.
Cen Chi followed Shi Xin into a small courtyard, which was Shi Xin's residence.
Although there are many talented people who Shi Xin stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion as guests, the place where he usually makes tea and chats is in a courtyard set up in the mansion. Because of the special feature of Shi Xin's temporary position in the court, if he is not a person who is particularly close to each other, or has something important, he will not bring guests from the palace here under normal circumstances.
Sooner or later, Cen will be mentally prepared. When he first came out of the small temple next to the garbage mountain in the south of the city, he had inquired about the two family members sent by the prime minister who had been protecting him, but if anything important happened to the prime minister's family, it would not spread to everyone in the family.
So Cen Chi exchanged a few words with Shi Xin. asked implicitly: "Shi Gongzi has a sad look between his eyebrows. If there is a need to help, please do not hesitate to ask. β
"I didn't expect to be seen by you so quickly." Shi Xin's eyes moved, and he said with some embarrassment: "You just came back, rest first." Slowly, I'll tell you again. β
"You look a little anxious." Cen hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I rode back on a donkey, but it didn't take much effort. Since last year's trip, he has been idle, and Shi Gong has sent people to send him from time to time. Nor do you have to work for your livelihood. Now when I come back, I see that my son is worried, and I don't do anything, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. β
"Brother Cen, you always say this, but it makes people think that our historian's friendship with you is just a deal." Shi Xin was annoyed.
After a moment of silence, he glanced up at the height of the moon on the horizon. Then he sighed softly. said, "Okay, please help me solve a problem first." But we've said okay, and it's just to appease the uneasiness you just said. I also wanted to solve the problem in front of me quickly, but it was too late today, and the drawings were all kept by my father. I can't scoop it for a while. β
"Drawings?" Cen Chi was puzzled.
"There's going to be war." Shi Xin frowned slightly and said, "The group of Yi people on the periphery of Qingchuan have long been threatening. Every ten years, we will fight our country until we are victorious, and this battle has not been interrupted since the previous dynasty. Seeing that the time of the war was approaching, my father sent additional spies lurking in the military and political affairs of the Qingchuan Yi tribe, and sure enough, he intercepted a batch of drawings and charts constructed according to the terrain. It should be a combat sequence. However, the drawings seem to have been deliberately shuffled, and it is unknown if they are complete. β
Cen Chi said indifferently: "It's incomplete." After splicing, there will be a natural result. β
"Hmm. I'm much more relieved that you're up to you. Shi Xin smiled at Cen Chi, and after changing the topic, he continued: "Yi people often do things like drinking blood and eating raw meat, and they are so cruel and violent. It's hard to train, I'm afraid even if I take that place back. The Yi people will not be obedient to the people. If you want to end this matter, I'm afraid there is only one way to kill. And imagine that if they want to win, they will be ruthless once and for all. β
"Cen is not good at these things, of course, there will be people who are good at these things to analyze. Cen will do his best to do what he is good at. Cen Chi stood up, arched his hand to Shi Xin, and then continued: "I have always believed that there must be a way to restore the disrupted order, unless it is disorderly, it can also be solved in another way. As for things like operational maps, because they are field-based, even if there are defects, there is an opportunity to fill in them according to the fixed geographical situation. β
"Very good." Shi Xin's eyes lit up, and he praised: "I've always been confused about the method of restoring the drawings, but I haven't thought about this, Brother Cen just came back, and just three or two words made the foolish brother solve a lot of doubts."
"Childe exalted me." Cen Chi smiled and said: "When you encounter a problem and solve the problem, it is the same reason that you have to open the door first in the follow-up house, Gongzi is not wrong, what Cen said is just a remedy, similar to climbing the window and crossing the house." The root of the problem is to spell out that picture. β
"Brother Cen is too humble." Shi Xin also stood up, arched his hand towards Cen Chi and said, "It's all up to you to do this."
β¦β¦
At noon the next day, the spring was bright and sunny.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi's father and son stayed in the study for a long time and did not come out, and there was no sound coming from the study, which made several family members who were guarding the courtyard outside the study vaguely feel a trace of unease.
I don't know how long it took, but the sun in the center of the sky shifted slightly, but the light was a little more dazzling. At this moment, in the corridor opposite the study, a young man with a box came quickly, this young man was dressed the same as the family in the courtyard, but there was a significant difference, that is, he was equipped with a short knife at his waist.
This knife is a status symbol. Although he was still just a general servant to the prime minister, among all the ministers' servants, they could exercise the most power. Of course, there are not many such people in the prime minister's house, and they usually don't show up.
Therefore, when several family members in the courtyard saw the saber young man coming, they immediately bowed their heads in respect, and the saber youth also nodded lightly in return, and then he walked straight to the door of the study. Knocked on the door. When the young man changed to holding the box with one hand, a red liquid spread out on the exposed side of the box, shining in the midday sun. It's so bright that it's a little harsh.
A family member standing in the warm spring light inadvertently raised his head, his eyes were just on the red, he was stunned for a moment, and then he only felt a chill crawling up his back ridge, spreading out in his body like a vine, and even the spring light that fell on his body seemed to be colder. The guy quickly turned his gaze away from the other person, and the look in his eyes was almost the same, so he had to purse his lips and then hang his head.
The door to the study opened halfway, and a deep voice said two words. Then, the young man held the box and was closed into the study by the door panel along with the slightly dim light in the room.
It was Shi Xin who opened the door, and his father Shi Jing was sitting behind the desk, and nodded when he saw the young man come in. The young man walked straight to his desk. Gently put down the box, then respectfully bowed to Shi Jing, and stepped back to the side.
Shi Jing casually removed the lid of the box, his eyes fell into the box, and he froze for a moment before retracting it. He closed the lid of the box, then looked at the young man with the saber, and said slowly, "Are you sure it's him?"
Prime Minister Shi Jing is now in his early fifties. However, he usually pays attention to the maintenance of his body, so he looks a few years younger than his actual age. However, as Xiangguo, he is the closest auxiliary minister to the emperor, and he usually needs to consume a lot of mental energy, and the pressure attached to power and responsibility is not small, so he can still capture some dry and dumb timbre caused by the attenuation of the body in his voice. But it is more of a natural majesty of power.
"Hui to the head of the family, it is indeed this person." The young man with the saber bowed down with an extremely respectful expression.
"Hmm." Shi Jing nodded and didn't ask anything more. There was a look of praise in his eyes, but he didn't say a word of praise to the young man. Just after a little silence, he pushed the box on the table forward slightly, and said calmly: "You don't need to cook the meat for the dog today, just scoop this dai fur!"
"Yes." The young man bowed his hand again, then went to his desk, picked up the box, and went out of the house.
After being silent for a long time, Shi Xin walked back after closing the door, and finally asked, "Father, is the person in the box who made trouble last night?"
Shi Jing nodded.
Shi Xin then asked, "Kill him like this?"
Shi Jing said with a smile: "You ask this, are you sorry, or do you think that this person is cheaper?"
Shi Xin didn't answer immediately, he lowered his head slightly, and only replied after a while: "It feels a little sudden."
"He's one of the guests." Shi Jing looked at the expression on his youngest son's face, and hesitated slightly before continuing: "When I opened the lid of the box just now, you turned your gaze to the side, don't you want to know who that person is?"
Hearing this, Shi Xin suddenly raised his head and said, "Father, I have been like this since I was a child, I hate to see blood."
"I know." Mentioning this flaw of his son, Shi Jing couldn't help but sigh.
His third child is gentle and calm-hearted, and his intelligence is also in the other two sons. Most of the guests raised in the house are this son weaving, and he is also very popular among everyone. But he was born with the hypothesis of not being able to see blood, which made his great help have a lot of limitations.
In the middle of the court, Shi Jing assisted Shi Xin to serve in the Privy Council, but he only hung up the false title of deputy envoy, which can be regarded as digging a pit for the position of the chief envoy. However, Shi Xin didn't overcome this hypothesis for a day, and Shi Jing wouldn't push him to that position for a day. Shi Jing waited and watched for a long time about the control of the Privy Council, but he didn't want to make Shi Xin have problems in the midst of compulsion.
Externally, Shi Jing has never revealed this secret. And when the emperor wanted to promote and promote Shi Xin several times, Shi Jing chose to refuse by belittling his children's talents. Shi Xin knew that his biggest flaw was very troublesome, and of course the words of his father and son were very consistent, and he agreed with his father's decision before overcoming this problem.
It's just that in the Privy Council, although there is only one word difference between the deputy envoy and the chief envoy, it is really redundant. The person in charge of this post is indeed idle, and many matters can be decided by the chief envoy without having to come forward, which also proves the narrowness of the deputy envoy's authority. The actual power of the deputy envoy is very small, and the right to know is not complete, and in the days of waiting for his son to overcome that hypothesis day by day, Shi Jing feels more and more that this position is just a favor that the emperor sold him.
Shi Jing, who mentioned this, couldn't help but remind his third son again: "Xin'er." The man of my Shi family can't lose his courage because of a few drops of blood, and the Shi family still has a long bumpy road ahead. β
Shi Xin lowered his head and replied seriously: "I know, I will step up my practice."
Shi Jing nodded, his gaze gradually becoming cold. He said lightly: "Putting this aside for the time being, what is your most sincere impression of what I did today?"
"Damn it." Shi Xin was silent for a moment before he spoke, but he only spit out these two words without saying a word of explanation.
Shi Jing asked again: "If this person didn't provoke Cen Chi, can you still answer so decisively?"
Shi Xin didn't answer immediately, he thought in silence.
But Shi Jing didn't mean to leave time for him to think about it at all, and only waited for a moment before continuing: "On this question, even if you only have a trace of hesitation, it is equivalent to answering." But. This reply of yours is the one I don't want. Unexpectedly, the friendship between Cen Chi and you has reached the level of affecting your judgment. He obviously doesn't live in the house very often, which puzzles me. β
"Father, Cen Chi is a piece of jade." Shi Xin's quick reply showed a slight amplitude in his affection, but he quickly realized this, and then said slowly: "Cen Chizhicai is rare in the world. The heart of love is like cherishing precious jade, which makes people cautious. β
"Although Puyu is beautiful" Shi Jing looked into his son's eyes, and said slowly word by word: "But it is something outside the body."
Shi Xin's eyes moved slightly. Didn't speak.
Shi Jing didn't say anything more about this matter, he opened the drawer in the middle of the desk, took a paper bag from it and put it on the table, and then said, "I heard from the servant last night that Cen was late, but the hour was a little late. So I didn't come to see him. I was busy for half a day this morning, and I used the excuse of going home for dinner at noon, so I had so much free. I won't go to Cen Chi's side. This drawing will be given to you first, and I will go to the palace again to discuss matters. In a few days, it will be the national ceremony, and it will be busy again. β
Shi Xin approached the desk and lowered his head to scoop the paper bag. That familiar face when very close to his father's face. The fine lines that are densely intertwined like cobwebs have become much clearer. Shi Xinxin moved, and couldn't help but speak: "Father, you have to take care of your body."
"Hmm." Shi Jing nodded.
Shi Xin held the paper bag and bowed to Shi Jing, who was sitting calmly behind the desk. "The son went first."
When Shi Xin was about to turn around, Shi Jing's voice suddenly came.
"Xin'er, you ......"
Shi Xin's footsteps were sluggish, he raised his eyes to look at his father's eyes full of words, and said gently, "What does my father command?"
"I, Shi Jing, am not a mad person who kills. All the actions are for the sake of my historian's affairs. I hope you understand, too. Shi Jing said this slowly, his tone gradually softened, and then said: "I have a total of three children, and your eldest brother is strong and powerful. The talent of the general, but the handling of human feelings and sophistication is too much inferior to you. Your second brother is a hard-working man, and he was born with a disability, so he ...... The burden of the historian is likely to fall on your shoulders in the future. β
Shi Xin said movingly: "Why did the father suddenly say such a thing, and the child was terrified."
Shi Jing lowered his eyes and said, "My father just wants to tell you that you must not be emotional. Although there are many talented guests in the house, and you can drink with them on weekdays, but that doesn't mean you really have to pool your feelings to exchange friendships with them. However, if there is a major event that affects our historians, whether it is active or unintentional, it should be crisp and clean when it is time to make a decision. β
"The child must remember his father's teachings today." After Shi Xin answered this sentence sincerely, he calmed down a little, and then he said again: "My father just asked me if I regretted that person's death, and I didn't answer for a long time, but now I think clearly." It's not that I'm reluctant and sorry, but I don't want to talk about it now, because I'm going to see Cen Chi in a while, they are the same kind of people, they just saw a dead person, and immediately saw a living one, and I always think it will be a little strange. β
After Shi Jing heard what his son said, he suddenly let out a burst of incoherent laughter, and then said: "This is easy to do, the one who is alive, you will treat him as a good friend, and the one who dies is a friend who betrayed you." They used to be friends, but the one who died was down to you. Therefore, death is a natural consequence, so it is easy to tell the difference?"
Shi Xin nodded when he heard this: "The father is wise, and the child understands it."
β¦β¦
To the east of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in a small courtyard full of camphor trees. A young man was lying on his back on a stone table in the middle of the courtyard. A blue-sealed thread-bound book was split in the middle and spread on his face, blocking the somewhat dazzling sunlight of the noon and covering his face.
In the corner of the courtyard wall not far from the stone table, a donkey was tied to a camphor tree, and next to the donkey stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid ring in the house. This girl's eyebrows are not described, but the arc of the eyebrow line naturally grows very soft, and the lips are not dotted, but it has a healthy moist luster. A light layer of grease was applied to her cheeks, but it didn't affect her delicate appearance in the slightest.
In fact, the most important point is. At this moment, the water spirit ring, which was scooping the coarse brush and combing the donkey, would from time to time throw a wave of eyes at the very indecent young man lying on the stone table. But the man covered her face with a book, so that she couldn't see the inexplicable face that would make her feel palpitations for a long time. But Yahuan thought about it, if it weren't for the fact that the person covered his face with a book, he would have looked at each other so frequently. Isn't there no shame?
Thinking of this, two blushes quietly appeared on Yahuan's face, she quickly turned her head, her eyes fell on the face of the donkey in front of her, but she was thinking about another thing in her heart: "When did it happen?" In fact, he is not handsome! Oh, that's sad! β
At this moment, the man who had been quiet for a long time on the stone table suddenly sneezed loudly. He sat up directly from the stone table, and the book on his face slid to the ground.
"A ......" Cen Chi rubbed his astringent nose and muttered, "Who is scolding me?"
Cen Chi's sneezing was earth-shattering, and the donkey on the side was affected a little, spewing out of his nostrils, and shook his head. Frightened, Yahuan, who was combing his hair, hurriedly took a few steps back, and his figure staggered.
"You brute, you weren't crazy enough yesterday, were you? You are not at ease when someone serves you today, you must have been cursing me just now! Cen Chi got down from the stone table and strode closer to the donkey. While scolding. When he came to the donkey, he reached out and slapped him in the face. The donkey ate for a moment, took a few steps back, and then hooked his head and did not dare to come again.
Cen Chi turned to look at the girl, smiled slightly, and said: "This beast is wild and untamed, easy to be stubborn, and almost caused me a big disaster yesterday, it seems that I have to grind for a few days to live in peace." Didn't scare you just now, did you?"
"The maid is fine, thank you...... Mr. Yahuan whispered, her face flushed as she looked more and more afraid.
Seeing this scene, Cen Chi subconsciously took a few steps back, and then asked, "Your face is a little wrong...... Isn't it a fever because of the wind chill?"
There was embarrassment on Yahuan's face, she bit her lip, she couldn't speak for a long time, and her face was even more scarhy. After holding it for a long time, she finally spoke: "Sleeping on a cold hard stone slab with such a frank stomach, Mr. is afraid that he is infected with the wind cold!" Then the servant went into the house and scooped up the gentleman's clothes. β
Looking at the little broken steps that the girl hurriedly walked into the house, Cen Chi looked at his clothes, reached out and rubbed the placket on his chest, and muttered to himself at the end: "Belly? Not really, right?"
"Brother Cenβ"
The familiar voice of the third son of the Shi family came from his ears, Cen Chi raised his head and looked at the courtyard gate naturally, and saw Shi Xin walking in with light steps.
"Shi Gongzi, you're here." Cen Chi bowed his hand to Shi Xin, and his gaze quickly fell from the other party's face to the paper bag he was holding in his hand.
Shi Xin smiled, approached behind him, stretched out a hand and made a gesture of invitation to the stone table. After the two of them sat down, he put down the paper bag in his hand, and did not immediately mention the contents of the paper bag, but greeted in a brisk tone: "Although this small courtyard has been kept for you, it has been vacant for more than a year, I wonder if Brother Cen slept well last night?"
"Annoying Shi Gongzi cares, a qiΔ is very good." Cen Chi replied with a smile.
Shi Xin looked sideways at the door of the house, turned around and asked, "Xiao Qiang's service is still thoughtful?"
Xiao Qiang is the girl who has Xia Fei's cheeks just now, who claims to be going to scoop Cen Chi's clothes at this moment, and has already entered the house.
Cen Chi smelled something unusual from Shi Xin's words, but he still said honestly: "Miss Xiaoqiang's life is as careful as ever, I really want to thank her."
Cen Chi didn't know when he said this that in the house, Xiao Qiang scooped up a piece of his clothes and walked to the door. It's just that after hearing what he said, Xiao Qiang, who was about to step out of the threshold, suddenly stopped. Holding the clothes between her arms tightly, Xiao Qiang only felt that a voice in her heart was vaguely telling her to slow down.
Stone table. Shi Xin smiled silently, shook his head slightly, and then said, "Brother Cen, forgive me for taking the liberty of saying it. I accidentally took a look at the things in the courtyard just now, don't you feel a little bit? Little Qiang seems to be a little interesting to you! β
"Shi Gongzi." Shi Xin's words made Cen Chi stand up in surprise, and looked at Shi Xin for a moment before he spoke again: "Please be cautious about this matter."
Shi Xin said very seriously: "Brother Cen, I didn't mean to joke. Speaking of which, I might as well ask again, did Brother Cen really not consider marrying a wife?"
The expression in Cen Chi's eyes moved slightly, and he did not speak.
"But with your heart, you can't ignore it. As a man, he has a good wife by his side. Life will also be better and more comfortable. Shi Xin said and stood up.
He walked to Cen Chi's side and whispered in a very close position: "My father has entered the age of knowing his fate, and there are many fewer disputes between family members in the house, so the maids are a lot relieved. On weekdays, you can dress yourself up beautifully, and you don't have to worry about the hostess's disgust. But Xiao Qiang's girl is really a little colorful, and she is also polite, although her status is low, but if you like it, I can give her to you as a warm girl. β
Cen Chiwei smiled after a slight hesitation and said, "Actually, I have never thought about this matter. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten about it. But I think this matter has to be happy with each other, if I want to marry a wife, if this is the case, it has nothing to do with my identity, and I will not treat the other party badly. β
Shi Xin sighed softly and said, "I suddenly feel that you should go to the small temple in the south of the city less. If one day you really fall into the Zen Sutra and talk about meditation and inaction, it will definitely be the fault of Master Xixin. β
"If Master Xixin knew that the third prince of the Xiangfu had said so about him, the next time I go to the small temple again, he might have to scoop a broom to drive me away." Cen Chi bent down to pick up the book he had just sneezed and shook to the ground. Gently patted the dust. He also said: "If I want to enter the empty door, I need to cut off too many concerns, and the relationship is only the weakest one."
"So that shouldn't be possible." Shi Xin Qiu Cen took the end of the sentence lately, and the two glanced at each other, and then they both laughed happily.
Yahuan Xiaoqiang, who was standing behind the door of the house, listened to all the conversation between the two people in the courtyard just now, and at this time, listening to the laughter of the two people, her mood was very complicated. There is a thin hint of sweetness in the sourness.
Mr. Shum is really not as frivolous as ordinary men, if he can become his wife, he will be very happy, right? But how do you get into his heart? If this path was easy, then how could Mr. Shum still be alone? He said that he had never thought about getting married, could it be because he hadn't seen anyone yet? Does that include yourself?
The person who can make him affectionate and admired, I'm afraid it can only be a beautiful woman in the country, right?
A trace of sweetness in her heart was soon covered by a tide-like confusion, and Xiao Qiang's gaze became sluggish. He didn't even notice that half of the clothes he was holding had fallen off the ground.
It wasn't until the clothes she was holding suddenly disappeared that she suddenly woke up, and looked at the face in front of her that was so familiar that she had even seen it several times in her dreams, and she was stunned again.
With a tight hand, she was dragged into the inner study.
"Do you know how rude it is to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
It was only in the man's rebuke that she finally woke up completely from her illusions and confusion.
"I'm ......," Qiang bit her lip. Whispered, "I overheard it."
After digging out a stack of papers from the drawer of the desk and placing it on the table, Cen Chi raised his head and glanced at Xiao Qiang, noticing that her fingers were twisted a little nervously, he eased his tone, and said: "In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are many news that you are not suitable to listen to, even if you are unintentional. Fortunately, what you have just heard is irrelevant, and if there is a situation like today, you must remind yourself to avoid it immediately. β
"Yes." Xiao Qiang hurriedly responded. She felt that there was a sense of care in Cen Chi's words. Whether he intended it or not. She'll be happy to hear it, too. So at the end, she said thank you again: "Thank you, sir."
Cen Chi didn't say anything more, only took the pen and ink on the table, and grabbed a few blank pieces of paper. A mess of them went out with a hand.
