No.194 Why

Hearing that the simple meal was ready, Qing Shu said, "Put it in the private room next to it, the young masters are hungry." Thinking of something else, she instructed, "Business can't be done today, and everyone will share the food that is done." By the way, let the ancient shopkeeper invite the Eagle Guard in and let them have a hot meal too. ”

The business could not be done, and the steamed buns, bean paste buns and steamed buns were left; There is also the business of the cooked food window, which must also be affected, and it is estimated that there is a lot of cooked food left. Although it is winter now, whether it is steamed bread or cooked food, it can't be broken for a few days, but she is not such a stingy person. The people below are loyal to her, and they are all working hard for her, and none of them are retreating at the critical moment. Therefore, she is willing to take out this little thing for the big guys to eat.

Xiaojuan asked, "Miss, do you want to invite Zhou Gongzi's people in?" ”

Qing Shu didn't think about it, "Please." "Governor Chen will take care of their sisters and brothers, and the court officials will embarrass her if they don't come up, thanks to whom, she is like a mirror in her heart. People are all high and low, even if she occupies the word in this incident, but the people are the people, the officials are the officials, and the court condemned her, and she had no choice but to accept her fate. Without him, would the attendant of the Ministry of Rites and Rites let you stand there and talk to the foreign envoys about the conditions?

Xiaojuan agreed to go out, arranged it, and came over to invite Qingshu and them to go to the private room next door for dinner. I didn't eat lunch, and I experienced that kind of thing just now, Qingyang and they were all hungry. Although it was just a bean paste bun and egg drop soup, they were all happy to eat it. Zhou Xingxiao grabbed the bean paste bun in his hand, and ate it bite after bite, staining his mouth full of broken foam of bean paste filling.

Qing Shu dried a small half bowl of egg drop soup for him, and made sure that it was not hot, so he added a spoon to the soup bowl and pushed it to him, "Come, drink soup." ”

Zhou Xing's eyes were still red and swollen, but there was already a smile on his face. He opened his mouth, meaning to let Qingshu feed.

Seeing that he was coming over, Qing Shu was a lot more relieved, scooped up the soup and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

At this time, Xiaojuan came in from outside and whispered something to Qingshu.

"Qingyang, you guys eat slowly. After eating, you are not allowed to leave, just sit here, and you can't go anywhere. My sister will be back in a moment. Qing Shu instructed.

"Sister, don't worry, Xiaoyang doesn't walk around, and he doesn't let his brothers and brothers walk around, Xiaoyang will watch them." Qingyang solemnly promised.

Qing Shu smiled and nodded, and then went out. As soon as the door of the private room was closed, she said to Xiaojuan, "You go in and guard, take care of the young masters." Hey! She looked to her side and left and right with a puzzled look on her face.

Xiaojuan didn't know what was going on, so she looked left and right like Qingshu. "Miss, what's wrong?"

Qing Shu's face sank, "What about the little fish?" For such a long time, why don't you see small fish? ”

"Ah, Miss, it seems that when there was a fight outside, Sister Xiaoyu was gone. It's all to blame on the slave maid, who didn't react for such a long time. What to do? Sister Xiaoyu won't be caught by the bad guys, right? "Xiao Juan has the appearance of six gods without masters.

Losing a big living person, Qing Shu felt flustered, "Shhh, don't make a noise." You go in, and it is your top priority to take care of the young masters now. Xiaoyu, I will send someone to find it. ”

When Xiaojuan entered the private room, Qing Shu walked to the counter with a heavy face and asked Gu Yuanhe in a low voice, "When was the last time you saw Xiaoyu?" ”

Gu Yuanhe was slightly stunned, thinking of something, and asked with a shocked face, "Miss, are you saying that the little fish girl is gone?" ”

Qingshu nodded.

Gu Yuanhe walked around the counter and suddenly stopped, "Miss, you suddenly rushed out of the shop, and Miss Xiaoyu and Miss Xiaojuan also ran out, and then Xiao Yu went out with the guys in the shop." Outside, the little fish girl was standing against the wall. Later, I didn't pay attention to it later, and it seems that I never saw the little fish girl again. ”

This is similar to what Xiaojuan said, it seems that Xiaoyu disappeared at that time. Qing Shu was puzzled, "Send someone back to the house to see if Xiaoyu went back by himself." Just in case, you ask the others to see if anyone knows where the fish is. ”

After explaining here, Qing Shu came out of the shop and saw Zhou Boyan waiting outside the door. And the young prince and his subordinates who had been tied up by her subordinates are gone. In sight, there are only the backs of the two teams of people who are far away. "You let people go?"

Zhou Boyan put the silver ticket in his hand into Qing Shu's hand, "This is compensation for you." ”

Qing Shu unfolded the silver ticket with a look of wealth and looked at it, three thousand taels, "Is it our Da'an's silver ticket?" If you dare to fool me with Xichangguo's, I will definitely catch up with him and step on him a few more times. ”

Gu Shi next to him muttered, "The prince dares to step on it, and let the prince get used to it." ”

Qing Shu's ears were very sharp, and he glared fiercely, "What did you say?" ”

Gu Shi was taken aback, "No, no, I didn't say anything." He denied it and took a few steps back, accidentally tripped over half of the table leg, and fell there.

Qing Shu didn't sympathize with him at all, snorted, and then glanced at Zhou Boyan, "What about the truth you promised?" ”

Zhou Boyan smiled in his eyes, "This is not the place to talk, if I go back, I will naturally sue you." ”

Qing Shu bit her lip, didn't look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Have you used it for lunch?" ”

"Nope."

"What are you doing standing still? Come in, eat. Qing Shu twisted his body and stepped into the shop first.

Zhou Boyan smiled at the corner of his mouth and followed her into the shop.

Qing Shu prepared a private room for him alone, and personally brought him steaming bean paste buns and egg soup, "Let's eat it!" "When you speak, put chopsticks on the table for him.

Zhou Boyan grabbed her hand swinging the chopsticks.

Qing Shu glanced at him with disgust and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and eat yours, and don't look at what kind of place this is!" ”

Zhou Boyan pinched her fingers lightly, "Eat with me." ”

Qing Shu withdrew his hand, "Beautiful you." Then he straightened up, "There are a lot of things that haven't been figured out yet, I'm busy!" What you want to eat, think about it first, and make it for you at night. ”

As soon as Qing Shu left, Gu Shishi came in, approached mysteriously, and spoke in a low voice with Zhou Boyan, "Childe, have you noticed?" ”

"Huh?"

"Miss Gu's Eagle Guard, it's not simple."

"Hmm."

"Childe, Chengzi just told the little one that the Eagle Guard's method of putting down people is a little familiar."

"Hmm."

"Childe, don't stop talking! Don't you wonder why Miss Gu suddenly has an extra Eagle Guard? ”

"Hmm."

"Look, you're curious, aren't you? The little one went over to talk to the Eagle Guard just now, but he didn't think about it, they were bad! Gu Shishi rolled up his sleeves and exposed his wrist to Zhou Boyan, "Look, childe, look, look at the little wrists, they are all green." ”

Zhou Boyan stared at the bruises on Gu Shi's wrists, "How did you talk?" ”

Gu Shishi froze for a moment, scratching his head, "That's it, just go over and pat him on the shoulder." ”

"From before?"

"Behind, back."

"Self-inflicted." After Zhou Boyan finished his evaluation, he ate the bean paste bun by himself. He had seen the Tiger Wolf Guard's method of taking down the enemy, to be precise, he had seen the method of the first team of the brocade guard adapted by the Tiger Wolf Guard to put down people. And Qingshu's Eagle Guard, compared with the method of putting down people, is even better.

The Tiger Wolf Battalion, which once shocked the enemy, was originally trained by General Gu, and now the black and white two guards have returned, and then the eagle guards appeared. Don't think about it, these people are none other than General Gu's old department. Besides, the age is also right. The once high-spirited young man has now grown into a young eagle guard who is more mature and stable than he was back then.

It's just that the tiger and wolf battalions on the battlefield exist for killing, and when they take down the enemy, the enemy is dead. Qingshu's eagle guards no longer exist for killing, they put down the enemy, just to make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness, not to take people's lives, but to protect their masters.

When he released people, he made a point to confirm it. The king of Xichang was unharmed, and he didn't mention the kick that Qingshu kicked and the few feet he stepped on. The others, although they had cuts on their wrists and ankles, had a good grasp of the wounds, and apart from making them unable to stand and unable to hold their weapons, they did not injure their lives, and did not cause too much damage to the tendons and veins of their hands and feet.

He wasn't sure if Qing Shu had to let Eagle Guard come to the front of the people, or if he did it on purpose.

When Qing Shu was anxiously waiting for Xiaoyu's news, he sent someone to the medicine hall to find someone back, saying that Dr. Zhou had not returned from the clinic. Dr. Zhou is not in the town now, but was picked up by the people of Sunjia Village in the north of the town in an ox cart, and he can only rush back before dark.

After a while, the people who went to Dr. Zhou's house returned. said that no one answered the door outside, but later the woman next door came out and helped go into the house to see, only to find that Zhao had fainted on the bed and was unconscious.

Qing Shu felt bad, "Go and ask for a doctor." ”

Zhou Boyan had already eaten and walked over, "What's wrong?" ”

"Dr. Zhou was not in the town when he went out to see a doctor, and Mrs. Zhou was found fainting at home, and someone had already been sent to ask for a doctor. No, I'll have to see for myself. Qing Shu couldn't sit still and spun around on the ground in a hurry.

Zhou Boyan asked her to calm down, "You go, bring all your people with you." Qingyang has me, you don't have to worry. "The rest of his brocade guard is almost here, and he has no shortage of men.

didn't have time to say anything else, Qingshu took Xiaojuan and four eagle guards and rushed to Dr. Zhou's house. She asked Guard Du to stay behind with two Eagle Guards to protect Qingyang and them.

Qingshu walked into the door of Zhou's house with his front foot, and the doctor arrived with his back foot.

The doctor who came was none other than the old owner of Tzu Chi Hall. The old club heard that Dr. Zhou's wife had an accident, and he rarely went to the doctor, so he came in person. After taking the pulse, the solemn color on the old club's face dissipated, "It's okay, it's just an ordinary drug." If you are in a hurry, you will pour a bowl of cold water, and the person will wake up immediately. Don't be in a hurry and wait, you can wake up in about two quarters of an hour. ”

It's freezing on this day, and splashing cold water is not fun. Qing Shu said wait, don't hurry. Anyway, Zhou Xing has already been saved, and the person who took Zhou Xing out must have run away, there is no difference between knowing the truth two quarters of an hour earlier and knowing the truth two quarters of an hour later.

Knowing that people were fine, Qing Shu's heart settled, and she began to pay attention to the small details in the house. On the table of the outside guests, there are two tea bowls, the tea is cold, one bowl of tea is left with half a bowl, and the other bowl of tea is half a bowl. In this way, it seems that there were guests in the house.

Qing Shu saw that the old boss was about to leave, so he said, "Please ask the doctor to help the juniors see, will there be a problem with these two cups of tea?" ”

The old owner came over, picked up the two bowls of leftover tea one by one, took them to his nose and sniffed the smell, and put the small half bowl in front of Qing Shu, "There is a drug here." Another bowl was placed on the corner of the table, "This bowl doesn't have one." ”

Qingshu thanked him and asked for the consultation fee, but the old club didn't want it, so he left angrily. Qing Shu didn't understand how he provoked the old man, but he didn't have time to figure it out at this time. She sent Xiao Juan out and asked Xiao Juan to ask her neighbors who had been to Dr. Zhou's house today.

The answer was soon available, the Zhou family had only one female guest today. This woman, in the eyes of her neighbors, was a well-dressed woman of about twenty-four or five years of age. The woman was clothed in blue silk and wore a golden hairpin on her head. As for the woman's appearance, the neighbor could not describe it, saying that she had just glanced at the wall and did not look closely. However, it is said that there is a black mole under the corner of the woman's mouth.

It seems that the woman seen by the neighbor is undoubtedly the same person as the woman Hao sees. Who did it, Zhao woke up, and the answer will be revealed.

So, Qing Shu sat back and waited for the moment when Zhao woke up.

After a while, Xiaojuan, who was still standing in the courtyard and gossiping with the girl next door, ran into the house, and said with a happy face, "Miss, Miss, Sister Xiaoyu has news." She's fine, she's fine, says she's on her way back. ”

Qing Shu's heart fell to the ground, "Who sent the news?" Call in and talk back. ”

"Miss, the house received the news, and the ancient housekeeper sent someone to spread the word. I don't know who came to pass the word, and I can't ask anything if you call him in. ”

"Alright! If you find someone, you'll be fine, and you'll talk about the rest. Qingshu said, it was inevitable to complain, "Xiaoyu, this girl, is very well-behaved on weekdays, and I never thought that there would be times when people were worried!" ”

At this time, Zhao, who was lying on the bed, woke up. She frowned, holding her head and slowly sitting up, "What's wrong with me?" Dizziness is terrible. When he saw Qingshu and Xiaojuan, he was taken aback, "Miss, when did you come?" She asked as she hurried out of bed.

Qing Shu hurriedly held her down, "Auntie, don't move, the medicine hasn't passed yet, don't be in a hurry, get out of bed slowly." ”

Zhao seemed to think of it, and his face changed greatly, "Xing'er, where is Xing'er?" Xing'er, Xing'er......"

Qingshu and Xiaojuan went into battle together, and finally stabilized Zhao's love, explaining that Zhou Xing and Qingyang were playing together, and asked her what guests came to the house and why the guests took Zhou Xing away.

Zhao Shi grabbed Qing Shu's hand tightly, "Young Master is fine, right?" The young master is fine, right? ”

Qing Shu felt that something was wrong, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a false alarm." Xingxing is fine, Xiaoyang is fine, they are all fine, they are happy to be playing in the house at this time. ”

Zhao cried, so he told what he knew.

When Zhao was thirteen years old, he was sold into a large family by his brother and sister-in-law and became a maid of a large family. When she was eighteen years old, she saved enough money to redeem herself and went out of the house with her good sister Yun Niang, who was also a maid, and the two have been making a living together ever since. Later, Yun Niang met a nobleman, committed herself to the nobleman, and became a nobleman's concubine. The Zhao family stayed alone in the embroidery village as an embroidery girl, suffered a lot of dark losses, and lived a very difficult life. Later, she met Dr. Zhou, who was ten years older than her and had never married a wife, so she married Dr. Zhou, and the couple had Zhou Xing.

More than a month ago, Yun Niang suddenly came to the door. Yun Niang explained that when she followed her lord to pass by Kangxi Town, she saw the Zhao family, and thought of the deep sisterhood in the past, so she came to recognize her. The two talked happily, talking about their past experiences and the present days, and they somehow talked about the ancient mansion. After sending Yun Niang away, Zhao found out that the topics behind Yun Niang revolved around Qingyang. Zhao muttered in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it.

Today, Yun Niang came to the door again and gave Zhou Xing a lot of snacks, and also gave Zhao a golden hairpin. Zhao pushed the golden hairpin and didn't ask for it, made tea, and the two of them sat and talked. didn't say a few words, Yun Niang's topic turned to Qingyang again. Zhao felt that something was wrong at this time, and changed the topic from time to time. I don't want to, Yun Niang went to tease Zhou Xing, and talked to Zhou Xing, and the words did not leave Qingyang. Zhao got angry and asked Yun Niang what she meant.

Yun Niang explained that the last time she went back to her family, she mentioned the matter of the ancient mansion to her master. Only then did I know that her lord had an in-law relationship with the ancient mansion, and her lord wanted to recognize this relative, so he asked her to inquire about the preferences of the little master of the ancient mansion, so he could bring a gift to the door to recognize his relatives.

Zhao kept an eye on it and asked Zhou Xing to play in the yard, and the topic began to revolve around Yun Niang's old man who refused to reveal his identity. Yun Niang talked a sentence in the east and a sentence in the west, never saying that she was on point. Zhao had the idea of chasing away customers. Coincidentally, Zhou Xing ran into the house and said that he wanted to play with Brother Xiaoyang, who was selling Spring Festival couplets on the street, and he didn't know where he found out. Zhao thought that the excuse of evicting the guest came, so he began to dress Zhou Xing, saying that he would take Zhou Xing to Qingyang, which meant that Yun Niang should leave quickly.

When the Zhao family was busy, Yun Niang refilled the water in the teacups of the two of them, saying that it was not too late for the two sisters to go out together after drinking tea. Zhao drank the tea and his consciousness began to blur. Yun Niang helped her to the bed and coaxed Zhou Xing, who was dressed, out of the house.

That's how it happened. However, there is no explanation who is behind Yun Niang.

Qing Shu hated this feeling of being out of control the most. In this way, the prince of Xichang and this Yun Niang are not in the same group, they have their own goals, and their goals are very consistent, all aimed at Qingyang. Why? What do they want to do?
