(Chapter 66) (16)
Seriously, I really think how pleasing my arrogant and willful second brother is now.
"Little brother, I want that kite, can you give it to me?" Xiao Tuanzi, dressed in brocade clothes, opened his two black and bright eyes wide, looking at it longingly...... Gu Yuancheng.
Gu Yuancheng glanced at me with a faint expression, I sighed resignedly, and pointed my toes on the ground, straight to the top of the tree. There was a butterfly kite with a broken string on the top of the tree, the kite was very beautiful, and there was a line of words on it, I took the kite and looked at it.
"Find someone who is destined and entrust this for life." I read it out loud, and there was a line of small words underneath: "The kite is the proof, and the sky is the medium?" ”
What's that?
Falling to the ground, I handed the kite to Jia Xin, who had been holding on to the corner of Gu Yuancheng's clothes.
Although Gu Yuancheng didn't take the kite for him, Jia Xin didn't cry, but said to me politely, "Thank you, little brother." ”
I looked at him with an innocent smile, and I only felt that in the future, he would be a master of officialdom who would not lose to his father. Since we came out of the Governor's Palace, this little ancestor will eat sugar gourds for a while, ask for a handkerchief from a girl on the street, take us to a dim sum shop, and point us to the jade for a while, and if we don't obey him, he will neither cry nor make trouble, but will look at us pitifully with those big eyes, until we compromise.
"Gu Yuancheng, let's send him back." I said.
Gu Yuancheng was already impatient, if I hadn't kept giving him a look, would this little guy dare to grab his clothes with his sweet and greasy hands?
No, he'll have to throw this dress away when he gets back.
"Let's go now." He didn't want to wait a moment.
It was rare for the two of us to be so unanimous, so we immediately turned around and walked to the governor's palace.
"Hey, wait a minute, that's my kite."
Behind us came a soft and glutinous child's voice, and we stopped and turned back.
"That's my kite." A little girl in pink looked at Jia Xin and repeated Fang Cai's words.
Jia Xin rarely let go of the corner of Gu Yuancheng's clothes, he approached the little girl, raised the butterfly kite in his hand and said, "This is yours?" ”
The little girl nodded, "Well, it was made for me by the nurse, and she said that my mother loved to play this the most when she was a child." ”
"Do you know what's written on it?" Jia Xin questioned her.
"Find someone who is destined and entrust this for life." The little girl was born with white snow and red, very good-looking, she saw Jia Xin asking, and replied unhurriedly, "This is what I asked the nurse to embroider." ”
Although the little girl answered Jia Xin's question, he didn't give up, "There are two sentences above, you answered all right, I will return it to you, otherwise it will be mine." ”
"The kite is the proof, and the sky is the medium." The little girl was not afraid of Jia Xin's question, and answered quickly.
Jia Xin hid the kite behind him, shook his head and said, "No, no, you said it wrong, now this kite is mine." ”
The little girl seemed to have never seen such a scoundrel, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
At this moment, a young man in a green robe turned around from the corner, and when he saw the little girl not far away, he called softly, "Se'er." ”
"Daddy." When the little girl heard her father's voice, she turned around and ran away crying.
Seeing this, the man comforted and picked up the little girl.
"Xu Yi?" I was surprised.
The man looked up, and when he saw me, his eyes were filled with anger and then with deep disgust.
"Let's go home." Xu Yi hugged the little girl tightly, turned around and left.
"Daddy, my kite ......" The little girl cried and reluctantly looked at the butterfly kite hidden behind Jia Xin.
"Daddy will go back and ask the nurse to make you a new one." Xu Yi comforted her, and resolutely hugged her into a gorgeous sedan chair.
Gu Yuancheng saw that I had been staring at Xu Yi, and a dark light flashed in his eyes for a moment.
"Have you offended him?" He asked.
I sighed, "It's not because someone is insidious, mean, treacherous, and cunning. ”
Gu Yuancheng decided to shut up.
"It's a pity." Jia Xin grabbed the corner of Gu Yuancheng's clothes again, and looked at the butterfly kite in his hand with a little disappointment.
"What a pity?" I was curious, but I was even more curious about why Jia Xin refused to return the kite to the little girl.
Jia Xin shook his head and looked at me with a wink, "Aren't you going home?" Little brother, let's go, I'm hungry. ”
What is this little ghost thinking?
I took a look at Jia Xin, and when I saw that his expression was the same, I sent him back to the house with Gu Yuancheng. When we arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Jia Chun was not there, and the housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion insisted that we stay overnight, so Gu Yuancheng and I hurriedly refused, turned around and left.
On the way back, Gu Yuancheng and I were silent until we turned into a small road and Gu Yuancheng spoke.
"Shen Qingzhi, did Jia Chun trick us?"
I thought so, and nodded.
"He doesn't seem to take you seriously, huh?"
"Well, it seems so."
"You are the face of a country and the head of a hundred officials, why can't you even control the people below?"
"Aren't there people hunting you down all day long? each other. ”
"They're afraid of me." Gu Yuancheng was disdainful, and then raised his eyebrows to look at me, "The person who wants to get rid of you, but it seems that there is another reason?" ”
I looked at him blankly, "It turns out that they are not only afraid of me, but also for other reasons." ”
“……”
"He must have known about the private increase in taxes." I'm back to business.
Gu Yuancheng also agreed with me. "But he didn't plan it, he's not a greedy man."
"Hmm." I thought, "Maybe Jia Chun's confidence is so hard, that's why the masked man is the reason." ”
After listening to me, Gu Yuancheng asked another question, "Do you think Jia Chun has seen your true identity?" ”
This question stopped me, I was in contact with Jia Chun for the first time today, and I didn't know much about it, although I had always heard of his deeds, but the rumors were rumors after all, and I couldn't believe them.
"In my opinion, probably not." Gu Yuancheng saw that I didn't answer for a long time, so he said his thoughts.
"Oh? On what basis? ”
"Because when we sent Jia Xin back, Jia Chun was not in the house."
I frowned, "You mean, he deliberately avoided us because he thought we were someone else?" ”
Gu Yuancheng groaned, "It is estimated that in the past half a year, many people have already looked for Jia Chun. Didn't that door say, 'I'm crazy to want to our master'?" ”
Hit the nail on the head, and that's what I've been thinking about all the way.
"You say, could it be that the masked man just blended in with these 'stammering officials', pretending to give gifts, but actually said something to Jia Chun, or reached some kind of deal?" I said.
"Why didn't they coerce Jia Chun to do something?" Gu Yuancheng looked at me.
I looked away and didn't say anything.
It's not that I didn't think about this possibility, it's just ......
"Because he is Peng Yu's son-in-law, and Peng Yu taught you in the White Crane Academy after he became a scholar, he is the master of the White Crane Academy?" Gu Yuancheng directly said my heart knot.
I pursed my lips and said coldly, "You know what happened to me in the past. ”
Gu Yuancheng was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that you don't know my every move?" ”
I snorted, but didn't refute.
"Wait a minute." As I was walking, I suddenly grabbed Gu Yuancheng and hid against the wall.
"How ......"
Gu Yuancheng wanted to speak, and I hurriedly covered his mouth with my hand.
I slowed my breath until the familiar figure in front of me faded around the corner before I let my guard down and exhaled.
Gu Yuancheng pulled away my hand and inhaled hard. Finally calmed down his breath, he stared at me angrily, "Shen Qingzhi, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will let you walk around without eating!"
I embarrassedly took out Su Wei and wiped my hands, and explained, "I didn't tell you, I was ruthlessly swept out of the house by His Royal Highness the Prince, if he finds out that I am here, and I am still mixed with you, I don't need you to do anything, I will be cleaned up by him first." ”
Gu Yuancheng's eyes widened, and he watched me wipe my hands vigorously, and then threw Supa to the ground, and finally glanced at Supa on the ground with disgust.
He......
He wants to strangle this guy in front of him!
"Shall I sleep in your room tonight?" Thinking that there was still a tough battle to fight tonight, I put on a smile and discussed it with him.
Gu Yuancheng glanced at me sympathetically, flicked his sleeves and walked forward.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
It's stingy!
"Gu Yuancheng, is Emperor Qi about to die soon?"
Gu Yuancheng stopped, didn't turn around, and didn't speak.
"Have you ever thought about renewing his life?" I approached him.
Gu Yuancheng squinted, and when I walked in front of him, he was already thinking about whether to take my life now.
"The reason why Ibi Flower is called the Holy Flower by the Buda Country is because it is the ancestor of the Hundred Gus." I looked into his eyes, "At the same time, it is also the spirit of a hundred medicines." ”
The meaning of my words has been made very clear, and I, Gu Yuancheng, also know what the most correct choice is.
The scene was silent for a long time, Gu Yuancheng let go of the folding fan he was holding, and said with a little curiosity, "I have been hiding this matter for a long time, even His Majesty's wife doesn't know, how did you find out?" ”
I didn't think that my methods could be much better than Gu Yuancheng's, so I only replied, "I checked what happened in the palace of the Qi Kingdom Palace fifteen years ago. ”
"Huh." Gu Yuancheng smiled, "You know that it is difficult to find out about His Majesty or me in recent years, so you set your sights on ten years ago?" That's a good skill!"
Is this a compliment? I don't think so.
"I heard that the Ibi flower is very precious, and it only grows in the extremely cold place of Kunlun, but Kunlun is not in the country." I smiled and looked at him, "How about it, are you interested in going along?" ”
"You want Ibby flowers too?" Gu Yuancheng felt a little strange.
I didn't answer his question, just waited for his answer.
Gu Yuancheng didn't force it, he thought about it seriously for a while, and finally said, "Okay." After a pause, he added, "It's just the two of us." ”
I nodded, "Naturally." ”
