Chapter 273: Zhang Bang is looking for someone
In the middle of the night, Anling City in the Lantern Festival has not yet fallen asleep, and the lights of thousands of homes are on the festival, even in the small alleys that are dark on weekdays, they are a little brighter than usual.
Jingchen entered the city at night, avoided the crowd and walked into an alley facing the street, the lantern under the eaves stretched his figure, until he stopped in front of a door, he raised his hand and touched the closed door lock, heard the sound of the door opening behind him, took two steps back, jumped on the wall, jumped into the courtyard, and disappeared before the neighbors went out.
It was dark in the small courtyard, and he turned and walked to the big house, pushed the door open, and lit the lamp on the table by a faint moonlight behind him.
The hall brightened instantly, although the candlelight was dim, but it was enough to illuminate the situation in the house, and on the wooden table in the four corners where they often used to eat, there were several dishes, all of which were upside down with plates, and when they were opened, there were porridge and vegetables all vegetarian, chopsticks and spoons were wrapped in a handkerchief and put aside, a pot of tea, and a piece of paper pressed under another plate, and when he opened it, he saw a column of charcoal-black handwriting:
"Jingchen, I don't know when you will come back, I prepared the food on the table in advance, you taste it and eat it again if it is not broken, there is firewood and water in the kitchen, you boil hot water to wash it, there are clean clothes on the bed in your room, the bedding has been changed, you have a good rest, wait for me to come back."
Jing Chen read the letter a few times, closed his eyes and read a few words of pure heart, suppressed the floating in his heart, and then carefully folded it into his arms, sat down at the table to eat, he did not eat much, but he almost ate a few dishes leftover, and then according to the letter, boiled water to clean, went back to the room to change clothes, and lay flat on the bed, covered with a slightly damp quilt, the whole twenty-four nights, the first night was able to sleep peacefully.
Yu Shu woke up from the dream, opened her eyes and groaned at the moon-white bed tent, then slowly sat up, rubbed her forehead and recalled last night, vaguely remembering that after she vomited wine, Xue Rui found Xiuqing to take care of her, helped her to the upstairs bedroom, changed her dirty clothes, and drank hangover tea, she fell asleep, during which she seemed to wake up a few times, I don't know if Xiaoqing or Xiaodie was serving by the side.
"Shhh
"Girl, don't move, go back to bed, you're sick."
Yu Shu was pressed back to cover the quilt, opened his mouth in confusion, and his throat was sore to death: "Am I sick?"
"Yes, girl, you were drunk and burned last night, Sister Xiu diagnosed you and said that you had a cold, didn't this make the slave boil the medicine, you drink it while it's hot." Fluttershy puts a pillow behind her back and holds the medicine bowl in front of her.
Yu Shu raised his hand and touched his forehead, it was a little hot, and he poured down the bowl of bitter soup with a wrinkle, leaned on the head of the bed weakly, and watched Xiaoqing come in with hot water to wipe her hands and face.
She thought of Jing Chen's previous warning and was depressed, and she still couldn't escape this disease, but Jing Chen said that she needed a minor illness to pass this catastrophe.
"Fluttershy, I got a little white medicine bottle from the clothes I wore yesterday."
Yu Shu instructed the maid to get the medicine bottle, poured out a pill of Wannian Pill and took it with warm water, and then asked them:
"What about your son-in-law, did you go back last night?"
Xiaoqing said: "The son left in the morning, and left a message to say that if the girl wants to recuperate in the Wangji Building for two days, he will send someone to the house to explain."
Where is the house, it is nothing more than the Ji family, Yu Shu knows in his heart, Xue Rui is thoughtful, and she will arrange it properly without her, so she will lie back with confidence, and fall asleep next to the pillow again, thinking in a hazy way, I don't know if Jingchen has returned home, whether he has eaten.
Seeing that she was asleep, Fluttershy left one person in the room to take care of her, and the other gently withdrew and went downstairs to the private room to report:
"Childe, the girl woke up, drank the medicine and just fell asleep again. When I asked about you, the slave and maid said that you were gone. ”
Xue Rui reclined on the short couch, put down the scroll in his hand when he heard the words, pressed his fingers on his eyebrows, got up from the couch, and said in a low voice: "Let Lao Cui prepare the car."
"Yes."
The carriage drove to the corner of the street, and suddenly stopped, Xue Rui, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, was awakened, frowning and asking outside the car: "What's the matter?"
Lao Cui said: "Childe, there are many people around the intersection in front, as if they are reading the list text, there are too many people to pass."
"Take a detour.
Lao Cui responded, turned the head of the car, and walked through the street on the side, who knew that there were no two streets, and it was blocked again, and the same group of people gathered around the intersection to read the list text, fortunately, there were not many people this time, he was afraid that stopping again would make Xue Rui unhappy, so he lowered the speed of the car and tried to squeeze through the side of the road, and the buzzing on the side of the road inevitably came into the car, intermittently:
"Hey, hey, I said brother, did you see what was written on the list, I heard that the Yi Zitong princess who came out twenty years ago still has a son alive, is it true or false?"
"It's not written in black and white on the list, you won't squeeze in and see it yourself, go away, don't get in the way, I'm going to look for it on the street, maybe I can run into this nobleman, and I can go to the yamen to get a bounty."
"Huh? Where did you find it, do you recognize people?"
"Hey, I said you're not annoying, didn't you say let you see it yourself, there's a portrait painted on the list, you don't have eyes."
Xue Rui suddenly opened his eyes and ordered outside the car: "Old Cui, stop."
"What's wrong with the young master?"
"What's going on out there? Noisy. ”
Lao Cui looked up for a while, turned his head and lifted a corner of the curtain, and said to the car: "The little one listens to the roadside, it seems that the yamen has posted a list and is looking for someone, and it is too far away to see clearly."
Xue Rui waved the window and looked at the side of the road, but saw a group of people crowded under the wall in the distance, looking up at the books on the wall, and the people were talking noisy.
After thinking for a moment, he bent down and got out of the car, let Lao Cui wait on the side of the road, walked into the crowd, and quickly came to the front row with his figure, looked up, and first saw that on the list depicted with vermilion edge, there was a half-length portrait painted, with vivid facial features - vivid, looking like ten, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the face was handsome, which made him feel a little familiar.
He looked to the side of the book, but saw that it was written:
Si Tian Jian order, in the past there was Yunhua Yi Zi to clean the world, give marriage with Shu Hui Ren Jie Duan Rong eldest princess Luyue, heaven and earth set into a pair, but the young death of Fanghua did not stay, the two passed away especially a son, for the immortal master to go to the Daomen, in order to remember the wishes of his parents, on behalf of the Da'an royal family to worship the three Qing, more than ten years of Qing cultivation, now the Taoist returned to the dynasty, into the red dust world, Si Tian Jian Zhong Yi Xingxing knew that he was in the capital, and his heart was pure, did not know his own noble, so he was not allowed to return to the court. Then he ordered the people in the city to find his traces, the Taoist is six feet long, handsome, likes white clothes, has a pair of double swords, if there is anyone who hears and sees, the reward is a thousand taels, or those who know their whereabouts, set a heavy reward - after the fifteenth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Zhaoqing.
Xue Rui narrowed his eyes, then returned his gaze to the portrait next to him, stared at it for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he was suddenly surprised:
It turned out to be him
Ji Huaishan hurriedly got out of the carriage, holding a long scroll in his hand, walked into the mansion, and instructed the steward who came forward:
"Go, quickly call the fourth lady to the old man's study"
"Yes, sir."
Ji Xingxuan went out for the Lantern Festival last night, returned in disappointment, and made an IOU of a thousand taels in vain, so he was tired and slept for a night, and was curled up on the mahogany chair in the bedroom to understand the general outline of the six masters, and listened to the maid's report that Yu Shu did not return last night, so he frowned and said:
"Let people watch, when she comes back, come and report quickly."
After a while, another person in charge came to personally send a message, asking her to go to the study to see Ji Huaishan, it seemed that she was in a hurry, Ji Xingxuan changed her clothes, only took Yun He and a maid, and hurriedly went.
"Grandfather, are you looking for me?"
Ji Huaishan was carefully checking the star map drawn by the Astrological Division on his desk for several days, when he heard this, he looked up, and saw Ji Xingxuan Su inside, and hurriedly beckoned her to come forward and asked:
"You've been learning from that girl for a while, what are you doing now, maybe you speculate?"
Ji Xingxuan's face was ashamed, and said, "It's just a beginner, and I haven't passed the path yet, so I can't measure anything."
After finishing speaking, seeing Ji Huaishan frowning and showing disappointment, he asked curiously: "Grandfather is in such a hurry to find me, what is the matter, do you want to use these six pillars to measure something?"
Ji Huaishan's expression was whole, and he said: "I only heard the day before yesterday, Yunhua Yizi and Princess Luyue left a son in the past, who was sent to the Daomen to cultivate, and returned to the dynasty after more than ten years.
Ji Xingxuan saw that her grandfather was worried, and said a little puzzled: "According to my grandson's opinion, even if you find this thing, even if you find it, you can only get some bounty, why should you be sorry."
Ji Huaishan shook his head, "You don't know, the holy will is deep, the late Princess Luyue is the sister of the current saint, when the princess passed away, the saint did not think about tea and dinner for her in March, and after ascending the throne, she added a six-character title, this dynasty is unprecedented, and now Princess Luyue has a son alive, the emperor is anxious to find, if there is someone who can be found, it is just a bounty.
After that, he sighed, as if regretting that he didn't have this opportunity, picked up the long scroll on the table with one hand, handed it to Ji Xingxuan, and said, "This is the list text that was sent from Si Tianjian this morning, you can also take a look."
Ji Xingxuan took it, opened it to read, and was unexpectedly attracted to the attention of the person in the painting first, at first glance, he felt familiar, and when he was suspicious, he looked at the list again, and stared at the handsome man on the painting, thinking.
She is good at looking at faces, and she has a mystery of faces, and everyone who has seen it will never forget it, although the person on this painting is only seven points of godlikeness, but she is almost certain that she has seen it.
So, where exactly have you seen it?
