Chapter 422: Something to Ask For
Because of Xue Rui's words, Yu Shu woke up the next morning, and when he washed, he still felt that his mouth still had a trace of the bittersweet and bittersweet taste of last night's wine.
She only drank a glass of wine last night, and the rest went into Xue Rui's stomach, but later, he didn't say anything more that made people think wrong, and Yu Shu pretended to be stupid and didn't care about him.
After breakfast, Xue Rui was going out, Yu Shu didn't have to go to Taishi Shuyuan today, he planned to stay upstairs and sort out those case files, but he didn't want Xue Rui to come to the door soon after he left.
"Girl, the shopkeeper is outside." Fluttershy, the maidservant, walks to the door of the study.
Yu Shu just picked up the pen and copied a few words, and said without raising his head: "What's the matter, let him come in and say." ”
"Yes."
After a while, Lin Fu walked into the private room and entered the study with his head bowed slightly.
"Girl, Lord Qiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is here."
Qiu Jiming, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Yu Shu met at the banquet of Wangjilou at the end of March, and he was a guest invited by Xue Rui to support the party, so he had some impressions.
Thinking that Lord Qiu was here to find Xue Rui, Lin Fu didn't dare to slack off, so he came to ask her, but Yu Shu was too lazy to go to see her, so he stopped writing and turned his head and said: "Big brother went to the yamen today, and he won't come back for a while, tell Lord Qiu that he has something to do and come back in the evening." ”
Lin Fu hesitated: "Lord Qiu didn't come to find the prince, he asked to see the girl." ”
"Huh?" Yu Shu wondered: "Looking for me?" ”
Lin Fu nodded, took out a famous post from his sleeve and handed it to him, Yu Shu took it and looked at it, this post was still official, and the payment was Qiu Jiming's private seal.
Yu Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "Clean up the next room and invite Master Qiu upstairs, good tea will be entertained, and I will go over in a while." ”
The person who came was a guest, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry was a fat shortage, although Qiu Jiming was not more noble than An Ling, but he was also a five-grade life official, the same level as Xue Rui.
Lin Fu obeyed the order to make arrangements, Yu Shu looked at the loose robe on his body, went back to the bedroom to change into serious clothes and wash his hands, and then went to the next door to meet the guests.
As soon as Yu Shu entered the door, he saw Qiu Jiming sitting on the chair in the hall, this Lord Zhao was more than Chinese New Year's Eve today, and his appearance was dignified, at this time he was frowning, a layer of green beard appeared on his chin, and his eyes were also a little bruised, which was not as good as Yu Shu's spirit when he first saw him.
"Lord Qiu."
When Qiu Jiming saw Yu Shu coming in, his brows stretched a little, he stood up and arched his hand: "Female operator." ”
Yu Shu raised his hand and invited him to sit down, walked to him and sat down, seeing that he was not in good spirits, he did not fake politeness, and opened his mouth to ask him what he meant: "I don't know what Lord Qiu is visiting today?" ”
Qiu Jiming first glanced at the wide open door and said to Yu Shu: "Can you avoid people's eyes?" ”
Yu Shu muttered to himself as he looked mysterious, but let Fluttershy close the door anyway.
"Lord Qiu has something to say, no one usually comes up on this second floor."
"Alas, I came to the door today to ask the female operator to help me come up with an idea," Qiu Jiming said this, and then stopped and stared at Yu Shu.
Yu Shu smiled and said, "My lord has to say it, I know if Lu Dao can help." ”
Qiu Jiming sighed and opened his mouth with a sad face: "This month, Mrs. and Little Girl."
Speaking of which, it turned out that in early April, Mrs. Qiu and Miss Qiu went to Shengyunguan outside the city to go to the incense, and on the night of their return, Miss Qiu launched a strange disease, full of nonsense, saying that she was a fox and wanted to go back to the mountains and forests, and also scratched two maids, Lord Qiu had no choice but to tie up her daughter first, who knew that the next morning at dawn, Miss Qiu returned to normal, and the family had not had time to rejoice, and at night, Miss Qiu fell ill again, and found a few Lang Zhong to see that she could not do anything, and she did not get better after taking medicine.
Mrs. Qiu cried and cried, saying that her daughter was fascinated by the mountain goblin, and Lord Qiu invited a Taoist from Shengyun Temple to practice, who knew that the Taoist chief had seen Miss Qiu, and he was about to leave with a blow of his beard, and said that Miss Qiu was punished by God because she offended Sanqing, and he had to take care of this matter, and he would also be affected.
So Miss Qiu's madness was delayed like this, she was awake during the day, she fell ill at night, and after half a month, she was tortured and took off a layer of skin, seeing that her body was not as good as day by day, Lord Qiu would come to Yu Shu for help.
̈ Miss Yu is the operator of the top two lists this year, in addition to arithmetic, she also knows thaumaturgy, there must be a law, I want you to come to the house to see if there is still a rescue." Qiu Jiming's eyes were already red as he spoke, as if he was a loving father, and he really couldn't help it, so he rushed to the doctor when he was sick.
Yu Shu didn't hurriedly agree, she is a master of Yi, an operator, but not a great immortal, like such a demonic thing, the Taoist priests of Shengyunguan are too lazy to care, she may not have a way, don't see the problem when the time comes, but will be counted behind the back.
"Why don't you go to a few big Yi Pavilions and ask someone to try it?" Yu Shu said euphemistically.
Qiu Jiming smiled bitterly: "The little girl only ordered a family two months ago, and the other party is one of the twelve families. These families are often the same as the branches, if I go to the Da Yi Pavilion to invite someone, it will not be long before the little girl has madness will spread out, the other party must be to withdraw from the family, even if the little girl is cured, the second half of her life will not be shameless, with her stubborn nature, I am afraid to find a short time, alas, alas. ”
The implication is that a teacher like Yu Shu, who has no family background and has real skills, is convenient for Miss Qiu to see her crazy illness in order to keep it secret.
Speaking of this, Yu Shu looked at him as a big man wiping tears from his eyes, and his words were sincere, she couldn't refuse, thought about it, and said: "I don't dare to guarantee this, after all, I only give people fortune telling, and I haven't encountered such evil things, so let's do it, I just happened to be free today, so I went with Lord Qiu, until there was no way, and I would talk about it when I saw Ling Yan." ”
Qiu Jiming saw her agree, and stood up in a hurry, "Thank you for the female operator, I have a soft sedan chair outside, please leave." ”
Yu Shu said: "Don't worry, you go downstairs first, I'll go back to the room to get a few things, and then go with you." ”
Of course, Qiu Jiming said yes, before he came, he also thought that he would be rejected by Yu Shu, but now that he has invited someone, he finally has a hope.
When Xue Rui returns in the evening, he doesn't see Yu Shu and asks Fluttershy about it.
"If you go back to your son, the girl was invited away by Lord Qiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, in the morning, and she didn't come back at this time."
Xue Rui wondered what Qiu Jiming would do if he asked Yu Shu, so he asked in detail, but during the day, Yu Shu and Qiu Jiming talked and closed the door, and Fluttershy didn't hear it, shaking her head and saying she didn't know.
Xue Rui was worried, seeing that it was dark outside, and he planned to go out to find someone without changing his clothes, but as soon as he walked into the yard, he saw the back door open, and Yu Shu led Xiaoqing and walked in slowly, looking tired.
"Ashu."
When Yu Shu heard the call, he looked up and saw Xue Rui standing in the courtyard, so he walked a few steps faster.
"Big brother, you're back."
Xue Rui nodded, looked her up and down again and again, only said that she was tired, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he put his heart at ease, wrapped one hand around her back, and helped her into the house.
"What is Lord Qiu looking for you?"
Yu Shu sat lazily on the chair, stretched out his hand and said, "Take a sip of tea first." ”
Xue Rui listened to her hoarse voice, and he didn't need to be subordinate, he poured tea and delivered it to her by himself, and when she moistened her throat, he told him the original story of why Qiu Jiming came to the door in the morning.
It's about other people's ugliness, but Yu Shu doesn't feel that he has to hide it from Xue Rui, after all, his mouth is much stricter than her.
After Xue Rui heard the reason, he was a little displeased: "You are not a Taoist priest who hunts demons, this Qiu Jiming, it is difficult for a strong man." ”
Yu Shu smiled.
Xue Rui looked at her expression, his eyes turned, and he said suspiciously: "Don't tell me that you are really good at catching demons." ”
After getting along for a long time, it seems that seeing anything strange in her is no longer a strange thing.
Yu Shu blinked, "I can't catch demons, I'll catch people." ”
Seeing Xue Rui's puzzled expression, she twisted her body and leaned on the armrest, approached and told him about what happened during the day.
She went to Qiu Shilang's mansion and saw that Miss Qiu, who was sick and bedridden, was not sick during the day, and Yu Shu chatted with her for a few words, but did not find any clues, so she asked for Miss Qiu's birthday, and asked people to find a quiet room, and used the law of disaster to calculate her for more than half a month, wanting to see what was wrong with it.
Xue Rui was curious: "Then have you figured it out?" ”
"Figured it out."
"What's going on?"
Yu Shu snorted and said, "Then Miss Qiu is not wrong at all." ”
"Huh?" Xue Rui didn't react for a while.
Yu Shu explained to him: "According to Lord Qiu, Miss Qiu was in trouble when she was ascending to the clouds and watching the incense, this kind of yin and evil is also a disaster, it is said that I should be able to calculate it, but judging from Miss Qiu's birthday, she did not have any trouble that day, but it was smooth and tight." ”
Xue Rui understood it at one point, frowned, and said, "You mean, she pretended to be crazy?" ”
"I wasn't sure at first, but then I withdrew from the others, leaving only Miss Qiu and me in the room, and bluffed her, and she confessed the truth. Guess what, it turned out that this Miss Qiu had already intended someone to be in love with her, and she was dissatisfied with the family affair set for her, so she pretended to be crazy and stupid, wanting to escape this marriage, but she was pitiful for her parents who loved their daughter, and they were kept in the dark and tossed by her for these days. ”
Xue Rui felt ridiculous after hearing this, and said: "Qiu Jiming is a good-tempered person, but he loves face very much, you debunked her daughter pretending to be crazy, he didn't faint?" ”
"Who said I demolished her?" Yu Shu hooked the corners of his mouth: "I won't be this bad guy, the two ends are not things." Miss Qiu pulled out a hairpin against her neck and begged me to help her keep it secret, and if I didn't agree, she ended herself in person. So I pushed the boat down the river, talked to her, went out to tell Lord Qiu, found a random reason, took him to a trip to the Shengyun Temple, burned a handful of incense in front of the ancestors of Sanqing Dao, and pretended to dig a handful of soil under the tree in the backyard, and put it under Miss Qiu's pillow after going back. ”
She paused, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Lord Qiu and his wife believe me very much at this time, I take the opportunity to warn that his precious daughter has offended Sanqing because of disrespect in her heart, and it is not suitable for marriage with a man born in a certain year and month, which is the family that is engaged, Lord Qiu and Mrs. Qiu decided to dissolve the marriage contract without thinking about it, so, just as Miss Qiu intended, everyone was finally happy, and I was a good person at both ends." ”
Xue Rui listened to the whole passing, laughed and laughed, saw Yu Shu's face closer, bent his fingers and tapped her forehead, and said, "You have a lot of ghost ideas." ”
His fingers were cold, Yu Shu shrunk his neck sensitively, sat up straight without a trace, and said to Xue Rui: "I just can't figure it out, isn't the Taoist priest of the Shengyun Temple supposed to be very spiritual, how can he pretend to be a ghost and deceive people?" ”
Xue Rui smiled and asked rhetorically, "Who told you that Taoist priests won't deceive people?" ”
Yu Shu almost blurted out, saying that Jingchen never deceives people, when the words came to his mouth, he was stunned first, his mouth moved, and he lowered his head and said: "Yes, who said that a priest can't deceive people." ”()
