Fifty-four, conspiracy show - post station (II)
"Yo, this guest officer, dare to ask if you are from the official family?"
Chu Zizhan originally came to this post station to hide his identity so that he could plan for the future, so he shook his head and said to Li Maocai, "Naturally not. ”
When Li Maocai heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said to Chu Zizhan, "Since you are not from the official family, you naturally have to collect money." ”
Originally, Li Mao thought that with such an attitude, this business was to be yellow, after all, if he didn't collect some money, the donkey uncle in the backyard would really become the ration for several of his people.
Just when Li Mao began to mourn for Uncle Donkey, he heard the young man opposite say, "Then we will stay here for one night." ”
Li Maocai, who was already absent-minded, naturally didn't listen carefully to Chu Zizhan's words, thinking that he was rejecting himself, and he was also thinking about a pity in his heart. At the same time, he even said it.
"Slow down"
Before the word "send" could be spoken, he was pushed by a tall and thin handyman behind Li Maocai who looked a little bookish.
Li Mao was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, as if he felt as if he had said the wrong thing, and then first glanced at the miscellaneous servant who pushed him just now.
"Xiucai, what are you pushing me for?"
The person called Xiucai was originally a scholar, but because he repeatedly failed the list, and his family had no savings, he came to the post station to find an errand.
"The guest officer wants to stay in the hotel." Xiucai reminded Li Maocai.
Only then did Li Maocai remember what the young man in front of him seemed to be saying just now, and his expression instantly became flattering, and his face was full of smiles, which reminded Chu Zizhan of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who flattered his younger brother.
"Guest officer, please inside," Li Maocai made a gesture of invitation to Chu Zizhan and the others, and then shouted to the two handymen behind him, "Xiucai go and clean up the guest room, cook, hurry up to the back kitchen to fry a few good ones, don't let the masters wait for a long time." ”
Regarding Li Maocai's change of attitude, Chu Zizhan and others were very disdainful.
Chu Zizhan and the others settled down in the post station, and Qi Song was not worried about Qi Lianyu, so the two of them lived in one room.
"Uncle Song, it should be almost to Kyoto Mansion, but why does that Chu prince have to do more?"
After a few people had eaten, they each went back to their rooms to rest, and Qi Lianyu was bored because he was lying on the bed, so he remembered what happened along the way today, but what he couldn't understand was what this eldest prince of Chu did.
Qi Song, who was sitting at the table drinking water, heard Qi Lianyu's inquiry, so he said, "We don't have to worry about the affairs of that eldest prince of Chu, I just need to protect your safety." ”
Qi Song thought for a moment, and then continued, as if he was also instructing Qi Lianyu.
"With the identity of that Chu eldest prince, the little young master, you will definitely have an intersection in Kyoto Mansion, remember not to get too close to him, but since the master swore to support him, if the young master encounters something, he can also go to him, with his ability, even if it can't be solved, he can protect you."
Although Qi Song is not in Kyoto Mansion, he still knows something about what happened in Kyoto Mansion, he doesn't want Qi Lianyu to be involved in the open and secret struggle between those two people, after the incident in Qijiazhuang this time, the prince will definitely take action against Qi Lianyu, the new dark division of the capital, so Qi Song will let Qi Lianyu go to Chu Zizhan when he is in danger, which is also the purpose of the deal that Qi Xuan made with this Chu eldest prince in the mourning hall.
Qi Lianyu didn't question Qi Song's words that sounded a little contradictory, but just nodded and wrote it down.
Qi Song saw that Qi Lianyu seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he sighed softly, and didn't say anything, but let the tea in the cup soak his lips.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice outside: "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and get some hot water for the guests in the other room, and then go to the backyard to feed the donkey uncle, mother, what is wrong with that uncle today, keep calling." ”
The voice is from Li Maocai, the post here, Qi Song saw him during the meal before, and he also remembered his voice, as for who he was talking to, I thought it should be the handyman called Xiucai, but what that Xiucai was doing, and the breath of the other party Qi Song had not felt it just now, which made Qi Song feel a trace of vigilance in his heart.
Thinking of this, he got up and opened the door, just in time for Li Maocai to come here.
"Lord Yicheng, what's wrong" Obviously, Qi Song asked what happened just now.
For Qi Song's title of "adult", it seems that Li Maocai is very useful, in this desolate place where birds don't, naturally no one calls him "adult", let alone Xiucai and the cook, the two miscellaneous servants, and there is no politeness to him, even if he calls him "adult" Li Maocai has no pride in his heart.
Since he was called "Adult", he naturally had a better attitude, not to mention that Li Maocai's own impression of this person named Qi Song was still good, unlike the uncomfortable feeling of the person called "Grand Prince Chu" he saw when he first entered the door before.
"That Xiucai, who is slow to do things, a few guest officers who came with you asked for hot water, but they haven't sent it yet, and they are still stunned here on the second floor."
Hearing Li Maocai say this, Qi Song was even more vigilant in his heart, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be thinking about something. Originally, Qi Song wanted to ask something more, but when he saw Li Maocai, he suddenly looked nervous, and then said to Qi Song, "Guest officer, my donkey uncle has started to bark again, I have to go over and take a look, mother, it's too worry-free." ”
As he spoke, he didn't care about Qi Song anymore, and ran straight to the first floor.
When Qi Song came back to his senses, all that was left here was the sound of the donkey's cry that had not yet dissipated, and it could not be calmed down for a long time.
After Qi Song came back to his senses, he took a few steps forward, as if thinking about what Li Mao had just said to him before.
The corridor on the second floor of the post station is very long, and there are guest rooms on both sides, and only his own group lives in the post station, according to what Li Maocai said to himself just now, that is Xiucai here, but what makes him so focused here.
Qi Song stopped in front of the window on one side of the corridor, which happened to be open in the middle of the two rooms, one side was the room where he lived, and the other side
Qi Song looked over and found that it was the room of the eldest prince Chu Zizhan.
"It's kind of interesting." Qi Song smiled thoughtfully.
Just when Qi Song was thinking about things there, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Butler Qi, why are you here, I was just going to look for you."
Qi Song turned around and saw that it was Shang Luoyan
