Chapter Thirty-Eight: Anger in My Heart
"The thing in your hand doesn't look like it was used by a man, and I don't know where it came from!"
Yan Hong said gloomily, his eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent, the sword on his waist had been half drawn, and the man opposite was still silent, but this time the corners of his mouth rose as if he was smiling, and the silk handkerchief between his fingers seemed to be a fine wine, and he sniffed it in front of him, and his eyes were full of provocation!
"Hmph, what does Your Excellency mean by this, since this object is not Your Excellency's, it is better to return it to its original owner!" Yan Hong's anger at this time was almost uncontrollable, and he had already seen the small words under the silk handkerchief! When did Xin'er's silk handkerchief himself lose it? was also picked up by someone who didn't know what identity was on the other side and did such a humiliating thing!
The man smiled contemptuously and finally said the first sentence, "Why is Commander Yan so nervous? This is just an embroidered handkerchief that I picked up by accident, could it be... Commander Yan knows the owner of this embroidered handkerchief? After speaking, he deliberately faced Yan Hong with the embroidered small characters, "I don't know how to read the words embroidered on this handkerchief, why don't you tell Yan Commander below?"
Yan Hong's fingers tightly grasped the handle of the knife and made a clicking sound, and the killing intent in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and when he was about to draw the knife, a sharp pain came from his chest, calling him back, no! This is the method of agitation! Don't be provoked by him! With a long exhale, the sword was retracted into the sheath, "Your Excellency really thinks highly of Yan, Yan is just a military general, who has been fighting on the battlefield all the year round, and he doesn't know much about paperwork, pen and ink, etc., if you have nothing to do, Yan will retire first."
"Huh? Since the word Yan on this handkerchief does not know, it is under the bottom, and there is just a lack of a handkerchief to wipe the sword. Commander Yan said that it was impossible to take the first step, this is the Tibetan Pavilion, how can it be said that it is a place to come and go? The leaf between the man's fingers reappeared at some point.
"Yan is just tracking a suspicious person, accidentally entered the Tibetan Pavilion, and is not interested in the books inside, please let your Excellency go, Yan is still in a hurry!" Yan Hong calculated in his heart that he couldn't delay here for too long, and he had been delayed in finding the entrance, and if he was entangled here, he would definitely attract attention... What's more, this person still has her embroidered handkerchief around her waist, and the words on it are enough to explain everything, if the emperor knows...
Yan Hong didn't dare to think about it, his right hand had slowly stretched out to the back waist, since he was looking for trouble, he couldn't complain about his ruthlessness! The man was still leaning on the bookshelf and playing with the leaves in his hands, without even turning his head, a leaf was entangled with his heavenly silk, Yan Hong's heart suddenly rose a trace of strangeness, who is this man?!
The man turned around at this time and looked at Yan Hong, who looked puzzled, and suddenly laughed, as if he was not afraid of disturbing the soldiers outside, only to see his left hand slowly raised to his cheek, which was behind his ear, as if he had pulled something down, little by little, Yan Hong was stunned when he saw his real cheek! It's him!

"Mother, the imperial dining room has been put in accordance with your instructions. I've stewed the red jade carp, but now I'm going to feed the mink? ”
Rong Cheng touched the sweat on his forehead, the clothes on his back were already half wet, Chu Xiang looked at the red jade carp that had been cooked on the plate and nodded with satisfaction, after the dumpling smelled the fragrance, he jumped out of her arms violently, and the whole little head was stretched into the plate, and the snow-white fluff became oily in an instant, Chu Xiang smiled and said, "The meal is so dirty! If you can't wash it for a while, you won't want to enter the Mingluan Palace! ”
The dumpling didn't seem to hear the little paws on the fish, pressing its head down to eat, Rong Cheng was afraid that it would choke on it, and as soon as he reached the side, the dumpling instantly raised his head and let out a vigilant sound in his mouth Woo woo Woo Woo
Mo Mei hesitated for a moment, "Niangniang, do you want the hot spring water in the back or the water on weekdays?" "On weekdays, you can take some oil-stained pancreas and blankets." " no "
Chu Xiang walked to the table and picked up Chu Lingke's letter the day before yesterday, and suddenly asked Rong Cheng, "Father-in-law Rong, do you know the elder brother of this palace?" Rong Cheng was stunned and said with some doubts, "Niangniang's brother and slave recognize it, what is the matter with Niangniang?" Chu Xiang sat down and his eyes flashed slightly, "Oh? When did Grandpa Rong meet? Can you listen to it at the main palace? ”
Rong Cheng put his left hand into his fist and coughed "The slave has been serving around the emperor since he entered the palace since he was a child, and Chu Shizi met the emperor when he first entered the palace, and the two often play outside, so the slave naturally follows the emperor." That means that you, your brother and the emperor are also small? Then their temperament and habits, Grandpa Rong should also know a lot, right? ”
Rong Cheng became more and more puzzled, why did the mother suddenly ask this question? Could it be that the emperor made a mistake? The... It's hard to say about the minions..." Chu Xiang gently tapped on the table with his left hand, staring at Rong Cheng tightly with his eyes, Rong Cheng was stared at more and more nervously, swallowed and spat carefully, and said, "Niangniang, if you want to ask, just ask... The slave will not hide it from the mother! ”
"There are a few doubts in this palace that I want to ask Gonggong Rong for advice, my brother is really just doing business in recent years?"
"Chu Shizi is indeed doing business, and the emperor will approve some supplies to Chu Shizi every year, such as the blood bird's nest used by Niangniang on weekdays, Chu Shizi will go south every month to find high-quality blood bird's nests."
"Then do you know what my brother went to Huizhou for this time?"
"For..."
Rong Cheng's brain suddenly shook! Wrong! Mother, this is a trick on his words! Then in order to hide the embarrassment, he coughed and said, "The slave also heard the emperor say that the prince of Chu went to Huizhou to find a very famous local tea..."
Chu Xiang frowned, Lian Rongcheng said this, could it be that my brother went to Huizhou just for tea? Thinking about asking again, I saw Mo Mei walking in with a small bucket and blanket, "Niangniang, all the things for the cat are ready." At this time, the dumplings had already eaten a whole red jade carp and only the bones were left, and he was sitting on the table with satisfaction, licking the already oily fluff of his little paws, and now it was even more greasy!
"If Gonggong Rong has nothing to do, go back to the emperor, there is Momei to take care of it in the palace."
Rong Cheng nodded, retreated, walked outside the hall, looked at the snow and the warm sun around him, and sighed, "It's still the emperor who is good to serve!"
Chu Xiang hugged the ball and gently put it into the water, who knew that as soon as it touched the water, the whole small body trembled suddenly, the little claws hooked her cuffs, and the sharp nails cut through the tender skin, Chu Xiang was also startled by it, and did not pay attention to the wound on the wrist, soothed it with one hand, and asked at the same time, "But the water is too hot?"
Mo Mei tried the water temperature and shook her head, "It's not hot, the warm water from the slave..." Chu Xiang brought it close to the surface of the water again, and sure enough, it became excited again, grinning and wailing, so pitiful, "Tuanzi! If you call this palace again, let the emperor stew you! After saying that, Chu Xiang himself was stunned, why are these words so familiar? Danzi's watery eyes blinked, obviously frightened by that sentence!
'Noisy again!' I'll order someone to stew you!" ’
Chu Xiang was more careful this time, Tuanzi was obviously still not used to taking a bath, and the little paws kept clutching the sleeves tightly, it didn't let Momei touch it, as long as Momei stretched out her hand, it whined, and in desperation, Chu Xiang could only do it himself, and he hadn't bathed anyone else before, even Ling'er had never done it, so he was very unskilled in doing it.
Mo Mei wanted to help on the side, but there was no way, she could only teach her little by little, after washing the dumplings, it was already afternoon, Chu Xiang was sweating all over, very uncomfortable, and after putting the dumplings back in the nest, he warned several times if it went out, it would be stewed! Obviously, Tuanzi was very afraid of this sentence and curled up and went to sleep, Chu Xiang remembered the hot spring in the back, he was with Liang Qi on weekdays, but today it was rare for him to enjoy himself, so he ordered Momei to guard outside, took off his clothes and slowly walked into the pool...
In the private room of Fengze Garden, Chu Lingke held a wine cup in one hand and half leaned against the window to look at the prosperous scene downstairs, Yulong pushed open the door and walked in, sat down and drank three sips in a row, the wine was old and spicy, and he almost fainted all of a sudden, "Hey, why did the prince order such a spicy wine today!" Almost choked me to death! ”
Chu Lingke turned his head to look at the red-faced jade dragon and said with a smile, "It's always raining in Huizhou recently, drink some strong wine to ward off the cold, let's say, can there be any progress in the matter of the mud man?" Yulong picked up a meatball and put it in his mouth, nodding vaguely: "Eat it and talk to this son again!" Don't spray this son in the face! ”
Yulong swallowed with a red face and said, "In order to investigate, he spent twenty taels of silver on me!!" Chu Lingke knocked him with the handle of the fan, "When did this son knock on the door? I'll make it up for you when you get back!" Say it quickly! I'm in a hurry! ”
"Hehe, the prince said that the jade dragon believed it, I don't know if the prince still remembers the ecstasy building in Jiaye Lane?"
"Ecstasy? But where do you spend your days drinking? ”
"Ahem, this doesn't matter! The important thing is that after I went again, the little two still remembered me, I inadvertently mentioned that the son of the world wanted to customize the clay figurines but could not find a good craftsman is worried, the little two thought about it and said that he knew that a person's craftsmanship in making clay figurines can be said to be the pinnacle! I thought to myself, who could afford this title except for the clay figurines! ”
Yulong looked at the meatballs in front of him and couldn't help but clip another one, "Sure enough, the person Xiao Er said was him!" How shrewd I am, he knows no less than that woman, but he opened his mouth for twenty taels of silver! But for the sake of the son, I am still willing to spend this money! ”
Chu Lingke smiled helplessly, "I've been talking about it for a long time! Haven't gotten down to business yet! If you are still grinding and chirping, this son will take back the words! ”
The jade dragon waved his hand again and again, "I said, I said! The original name of the clay figurine, Yuanqingshu, was not a native of Huizhou, he came here for some reason in the early years, opened a clay figurine shop to support his family by selling clay figurines, and gradually the business became better and better, and more and more people came to buy clay figurines, and his reputation also spread.
The good times did not last long, the new assassin of Huizhou fell in love with the lady of the clay man Eryuan and wanted to take it for herself, so he went to the store every day to make trouble and smashed an unknown number of clay figures, and the clay man Eryuan did not want to cause trouble and closed the shop, one day outside I don't know who said that there were a bunch of officers and soldiers around his house, and when he ran home, he found a sign hanging at the door that said 'Spring Flower Lane' " "
Speaking of this, the jade dragon's eyes were red, and he scolded, and continued: "When he entered the house, he saw the lady who had already been bullied to death, and the group of people stood aside and laughed at him. In a fit of rage, he snatched the knife and couldn't resist it, but they broke his tendons and broke his legs..."
Chu Lingke's heart also pinched, counting the time, wasn't the new assassin of that year He Hu! The two people who were originally good were ruined by him like this! How many unforgivable evil things he has done!
