Chapter Forty-Nine: The Momentum Crushes You
Yinyue glanced at Zhou Huan, her eyes darkened a little, "Take her down." β
He glanced at Ling Feng before leaving, and then went back to the house.
Zhou Huan was about to go over, but when he saw Ling Feng limping into the house, he turned around and went back.
Tuanzi took a sufficient amount of sweat medicine, and he was sleeping soundly at the moment, but he didn't forget to turn his belly over and kick off the blanket on his body.
Zhou Huan shook his head helplessly, put the cat on the side of the bed, and slept with it in his arms.
It wasn't until the sun shone on her face the next morning that she opened her eyes in a daze.
"Miss Zhou, the master told you to wake up and go to him."
Xuanji, who was standing behind the curtain, saw that she was awake, and reminded her in time.
Xuan Yue took the prepared rose petal morning dew and put it in front of the dresser, took a dark tight-fitting dress and handed it to her, "Miss Zhou is a daughter, it is inconvenient to go out, the master specially instructed Miss Zhou to wear men's clothes and wear a hood to go out." β
Zhou Huan bowed slightly, glanced at the ball, saw that it was sleeping soundly, sighed and said: "It was hit by sweat medicine yesterday, and it is estimated that it will not wake up for a while, so it will be handed over to you to take care of." β
"Miss Zhou, don't worry, we will naturally do our best to take care of it."
Xuan Ji cleverly rolled his eyes, and said vaguely: "Also, I heard a report from the informant this morning that the National Teacher has been invited back to the capital by the emperor, and it is no big problem to come to the National Teacher." β
The dark clouds on Zhou Huan's face dispersed, she smiled slightly, and groomed her appearance, "Tell your master, I'll be there in a while." β
Xuanji bowed down and squeezed his eyes at Xuanyue, and looked at the room with some unease.
This scene was captured by Zhou Huan, but there were no ripples, after yesterday's events, she had a general understanding of Xuanyue.
It's better to have such a person around you who doesn't like you on the open than someone who is secretly bad, and she wants to have more.
Simply bunning her hair, she rinsed her mouth and planned to go out.
Xuan Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise, this is the end?
The rouge gouache in her hand hadn't had time to put it on, but it seemed that she was a little attentive.
Unwillingly, she threw things on the table, her delicate red lips pursed slightly, and she silently followed her to the guest room where Yinyue was staying.
"You're here."
Before Zhou Huan could reach out and push the door, the door opened.
A dignified purple-clothed young man looked at them with a smile, and lit a cinnabar mole on his forehead, making the porcelain white skin more moist and translucent, and a pair of dimples were pulled up on both sides of the vermilion lips, looking like a scholar.
Xuan Yue reminded loudly: "He is the Great Elder Bai Zhao, who has settled in the Western Regions all the year round and is a protΓ©gΓ© assigned by the master. β
Elder?
Zhou Huan couldn't help but look at it twice, the appearance of this life is outstanding, where is it like a conformist and unkind Elder Baiyuelou, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a white jade doll.
"People can't be good-looking, the teachings of the ancients really have his reason, look at Miss Zhou's weak woman, she is a model of women who don't let their eyebrows go."
As soon as a hundred trillion exits, it is difficult for people to despise him.
praised her in a few words, and secretly elevated herself, which is really beautiful.
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Zhou Huanxiao is calm, although she has little to do with the rivers and lakes, I don't know what accomplishments this person has, but her temperament can't be lost.
Bai Zhao turned to look at the room and made a gesture of please, "After the mystery was informed, I will ask people to make dishes, count the hours, Miss Zhou, go in and eat." β
He pulled up the curtain embroidered with the crane to the west, revealing the delicate and atmospheric furnishings in the house, such as night pearls and jade corals, all arranged according to the five elements of feng shui, which was very elegant.
The dining room is on the left, and the pattern changes again after a slight turn, porcelain is symmetrically placed on the left and right, Yinyue is sitting in the middle, and when she sees her coming, she frowns slightly, "Why did you get up so late?" β
Zhou Huan sat on the side and said in a low voice: "I didn't sleep well last night, don't talk about this, why did you take the boss lady down yesterday?" β
Yinyue paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, and put a chopsticks crab stuffed orange into the bowl, "Didn't you guess it a long time ago." β
He said it lightly, so Zhou Huan pondered it all night.
"You understand me, I guess you take the proprietress down, firstly, to occupy the magpie's nest and tell outsiders that you bought this inn in the name of the proprietress, and secondly, she was coerced by others, which is really pitiful, but it is impossible for an accomplice to let it go like this, it is better to spend the rest of her life here."
Zhou Huan shook out what he was thinking, and took a sip of almond tea comfortably.
Yinyue's eyes moved slightly, and she tugged at her lips, "There is another point, that is, since the boss is in a hurry to open an inn at the gate of the city, he must have a backer, otherwise who would dare to be powerful in front of the Son of Heaven?" Keeping the boss lady is equivalent to covering a cloth on the backer behind him, so that they think that the boss died of natural causes and will not be pursued too much. β
Looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, I'm afraid he has done this kind of thing.
Zhou Huan almost wanted to applaud him, he was really business-free and treacherous.
"It's still our moon worship building owner who has high means, and he kills three birds with one stone without much effort."
Yinyue cheekily responded, "Don't be too obsessed with me. β
Zhou Huan secretly rolled his eyes, unintentionally seeing the shy appearance of Xuanyue's daughter's family, it was a little uncomfortable.
"Miss Zhou, isn't this dish to your liking?" Bai Zhao was keenly aware of it, and clapped his hands and beckoned Xiao Er to serve a few dishes that were commonly eaten in the capital, "It was I who took it upon myself to let the cook make some characteristics of the Western Regions for the two of you to taste, so that I could tell the cook to cook a few more dishes of food in the capital in advance, otherwise how would I do this hungry stomach." β
Baiyuelou's efficiency has always been high, and as soon as his words fell, the newly replaced Xiao Er added dishes neatly.
Zhou Huan kept a smile and said calmly: "The food in the Western Regions is dry and has a lot of fish and meat, which is not as delicate as the capital, but it has a different taste after eating it for a long time." β
Yinyue chuckled, "Don't be polite to him, he is a good person, and if you are a little uncomfortable, he can immediately notice it, which is a bit similar to the national teacher, and it is very annoying." β
"The landlord made fun of me again." Bai Zhao lowered his head and smiled, as if inadvertently glancing at Xuan Yue, "I just saw Xuanji practicing martial arts, and I thought that it was time for you to take the assessment recently, so I wish you success in advance." β
The pink in Xuan Yue's eyes was retracted, and she lowered her eyes in a panic, "Don't you say that I forgot, counting that the days are really fast, I haven't practiced yet, and it's sad to think about it." β
Baiyue Lou has an assessment every year, and the elite disciples have to participate in the evaluation, and the bottom hundred will all be severely punished, and Xuanyue will be narrowly squeezed to the top few to avoid punishment, but this year she has spent most of her time serving close to Yinyue's side, and she has not practiced martial arts at all, so I am afraid that something will go wrong.
Yinyue wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said casually: "In that case, you go down." β
"Yes."
Xuan Yue's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that she was encouraging her, she glanced at Zhou Huan proudly, and went down beautifully.
Bai Zhao shook his head and sighed, diverting the topic, "I heard that Miss Zhou went to the Western Regions to track down the murderer, and after Bai Zhao learned about it, he found out three suspicious characters this morning. β
When Zhou Huan heard this, his whole heart rose, "What about them?" β
"Let's eat first." Yinyue finished speaking unhurriedly, and tapped the bowl with chopsticks.
Zhou Huan lowered her head in response, only to see that the food in front of her moved a little, and the almond tea tasted it and didn't touch it again.
She hurriedly ate with all her strength, and in a few moments, all the food in front of her was in her stomach.
Bai Zhao carefully asked someone to hand her a handkerchief and lemonade, Zhou Huan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief after rinsing her mouth, and couldn't wait: "Let them come in." β
Xiao Er came up one after another to tidy up the table, and Bai Zhao brought three men in.
Yinyue coughed and reminded in a low voice, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's a pity that the people who put it don't need it." β
"You don't need to say it." Zhou Huan glared at him secretly, and looked at a few people with a noble shelf.
The leader was an old man with a yellow face and thin muscles, and when he saw the people in the seat, he showed timidity, but he was a little more calculating when he glanced at Zhou Huan, "My hometown is in the capital, I came here to be a speculator and sell porcelain, and I have never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason for most of my life, so I ask the adults to learn from it, but don't wronged the untouchables!" β
As soon as he came in, he knelt down and shouted wronged, what did this person hear from Baizhao, and he was scared like this?
Touching Zhou Huan's confused gaze, Bai Zhao cleared his throat and comforted the three of them, "People are watching the sky, you haven't poisoned people, God will not let you be wronged in vain, if you do, it will definitely punish you, I remember this is what the National Teacher said when he came to the Western Regions to pray for blessings a year ago." β
At the end, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and looked at everyone with a smile on his eyebrows.
A year ago, Zhou Huan heard a little that the Western Regions had not surrendered at that time, and was still harassing the border, but for some reason, as soon as the national teacher came, he made a few predictions for the monarch of the Western Regions, and it worked on the same day.
Today, Bai Trillion mentioned it, I'm afraid it means something else.
Zhou Huan raised his eyebrows, leaned into Yinyue's ear and said, "Aren't you the most disgusted with the national teacher?" I think Bai Zhao is a good sign to be a god stick. β
Yinyue looked straight ahead with her eyes and said in a low voice: "This doesn't seem to be your concern, and he relies on his ability, and the god stick relies on deception." β
He will not be paranoid about some things for no reason, but he has always been critical of the god stick, which can't help but make Zhou Huan interested.
"How miserable are you being pitted by the god stick, so you can squeeze a sentence when you have nothing to do."
Her unintentional words made Yinyue's face darken by half, recalled the bad things, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't take it seriously, I'll let people go down." β
Yinyue said yes, as soon as he raised his hand, Zhou Huan quickly held it down, and even forgot about whether men and women were kissing or not, and when he saw that the little hand pressed down the thick palm, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't mention it, I won't say it." β
The above actions couldn't escape the eyes of others, and Bai Zhao saw that the people below started to think carefully, and hurriedly spoke, "Is the building going to be judged?" β
When he came back to his senses, he came into contact with Zhou Huan's nervous little eyes, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly, "Trial." β
Zhou Huan straightened his waist immediately, and said in a loud voice: "One by one, the one who will speak will come first, and the remaining two will go down first." β
