Volume I: Ancient. Dream Frontier Chapter 81 Stealing Silkworm Baby²
Li Zhi ran into the silkworm breeding room and saw that the house was in a mess, the ground was full of scattered mulberry leaves, and all around were the frames of silkworm farming, and several guards and a son with good martial arts were fighting in the middle of the house.
Li Zhi got closer, and saw that the maid who was fighting was Qin An, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, Qin An, stop." ”
Xu Xu, who was hiding in the corner of the house, looked up when he heard the sound, and saw Li Zhi walking towards Qin An, who was looking at him in surprise.
Qin An was fighting fiercely, looking for a sound, he saw that Li Zhi was a little angry, and hurriedly said while fighting: "Why are you here?" ”
Li Zhi walked up to Qin An angrily and scolded: "Qin An, I told you to stop, didn't you hear it!"
"Okay, okay, I'll stop, you let them stay away from me." Qin An looked at a few guards in a defensive posture, turned his head and said to Li Zhi.
"Stop." Li Zhi looked at Qin An and the guards who were guarding against each other with a cold face, and shouted loudly.
Xu Yu looked at Li Zhi's angry appearance, she was hiding in the corner, she couldn't stand up, her eyes were closed, and she muttered: "Can't see me, can't see my ......." ”
Li Zhi looked at Qin An and ignored himself, but walked to a corner, looked up suspiciously, and saw a young man squatting in the corner, Li Zhi looked at the clothes that the young man was wearing was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and then he heard Qin An say to the young man: "Promise, you're okay!" "I immediately remembered it.
The promise with his eyes closed, he took a deep breath when he heard the sound, got up with a smile, peeked at Li Zhi who was standing on the side, and said to Qin An with a smile: "It's okay now, I don't know, I don't know if it's okay for a while." ”
"Hey! What are you afraid of, the young slave is coming. It's okay, I've been here with him all the time. Qin An stretched out his hand and patted Xu Promise's shoulder, and said with a smile.
Xu Yu smiled at Qin An, tilted his head to look at Li Zhi, and found that Li Zhi was looking at him coldly.
Xu Shun was frightened by Li Zhi's eyes, and the heart in his chest suddenly jumped violently.
Xu Yu closed his eyes, stroked his chest, and muttered in his mouth: "I can't hide now, what should I do?" What to do? ”
"Alas! What happened to you? Qin An looked at the promise that he lowered his head and muttered suspiciously.
"Don't you know it yourself?" Xu Yu raised his head when he heard the voice, squinted at Qin An and said coldly.
"Get out!" Li Zhi walked up to them and said something casually, raised his feet and walked out of the silkworm room.
Qin An still wanted to ask for the promise, but when he heard the sound, he reached out and took the promise's hand, looked at Li Zhi who was walking in front of him, and followed.
Li Zhi walked out of the silkworm breeding room and saw Qi Guifei sitting in the courtyard, and both sides were full of maids and women in the silkworm breeding courtyard.
Li Zhi walked up to Concubine Qi and bowed and said, "Concubine Niangniang, you are mistaken, the two of them are here to look for me." ”
"I'm looking for you?" Qi Guifei raised her eyes and glanced at Qin An and Xu Xu, who came out behind Li Zhi, and said in a coquettish voice.
"Yes, I asked them to help me the day before yesterday, and I went to my second brother's house this morning, and they came before me." Li Zhi still bent down and bowed.
"Oh! That's fine. Qi Guifei said softly with a smile.
"Oh my God! It's not good, it's not good, the silkworm frame is overturned. ”
As soon as Xu Promise exhaled a sigh of relief, he heard the panicked voice of a mother-in-law behind him.
Xu Yu lowered his head, his eyes widened in horror when he heard the sound, tilted his head and glanced at Qin An, and saw Qin An smiling bitterly at him.
Xu Promise lowered his head helplessly, and listened to the concubine sitting in front of Li Zhi and said, "Your Highness the Nine, what should I do about this?" I was looking for you to save them, but I didn't expect your helpers to kill them. ”
"Mother, say it! What to do, we all listen! Li Zhi still bent down and bowed, and said in a low voice.
"Huh! These silkworms were originally raised by your mother, and after she went, Your Majesty handed them over to me. The brocade silk cloth made of this silk is not only used to give gifts to various countries, but also used by the ladies in the palace. These are nothing, and they don't use much together, but the contracts signed with merchants from various countries are to be handed over to each family a thousand horses every year! Although we are royal, it is nothing to break the contract once, but this year's silver money to buy cloth is gone, and it is difficult for me to explain it to Your Majesty. Qi Guifei stretched out her hand to let her maid support her, walked back and forth beside Li Zhi and the three of them, and said in a coquettish voice.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to compensate you." Li Zhi kept bending over, listened to what Concubine Qi said, and replied in a low voice.
"Okay, then I'll wait for His Royal Highness the Nine." Qi Guifei said and walked to the stool she was sitting on, sat down slowly, and said to the maids and mothers-in-law on both sides: "Go in and clean up, and see if there are any still alive?" ”
"Mother, let's go back and raise money first." Li Zhi bowed and said, straightened up and walked past Qi Guifei's side, and walked out of the courtyard of the silkworm breeding room quickly.
Qin An saw Li Zhi leave directly by himself, hurriedly took the promised hand, came to Qi Guifei and gave a salute, and then quickly chased Li Zhi out.
"Huh! I'm worried that I won't be able to explain to Your Majesty this year! It's a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Qi Guifei smiled and muttered to the maid beside her.
Xu Yu walked beside Qin An, looked at Li Zhi, who was silent in front of them, and complained: "Look at it, it's all your fault!" ”
"I, why am I to blame?" Hearing this, Qin An turned his head to look at Xu Promise and asked suspiciously.
"It's your fault, who told you to bring me here." Xu Promise said angrily.
"Humph! That's not what you said you wanted to raise silkworms! Qin An glanced at Xu Promise angrily and snorted coldly.
"I said silkworm breeding, you can't bring me here!" Xu Yu looked at Li Zhi in front of him intently, and retorted casually.
"I knew there was, and I came here with a child slave!" Qin An whispered aggrievedly.
"Don't you know which farmer raises silkworms? There are other childish slaves, childish slaves are called, he is the Ninth Highness. Xu asked angrily.
"I'm a big man, it's good to know here, you still want me to know if the farmers have silkworms, hehe!" Qin An shook his head and explained helplessly.
Li Zhi walked in front, listening to their bickering, stopped angrily, and said in a cold voice: "Can you stop the meeting?" ”
As soon as Xu Yu and Qin An wanted to argue, they listened to Li Zhi's words, hurriedly closed their mouths, obediently followed behind Li Zhi, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
After a while, the three of them came to the gate of the courtyard, Li Zhi lifted the corner of his robe and got into the carriage, promising to see that the carriage that brought them just now had returned to the city, and looked at Qin An who was standing on the side with a bitter face and said, "You go first." ”
"Huh? You go first! I'll hold you. Qin An glanced at Xu Promise suspiciously, and said seriously.
"I, I won't let you help, you go first." Xu Promise said with a little anger.
"Why? I'm not going to go first. Qin An said with a smile as he looked at the promise with both hands.
"You..."Xu Yu was just about to talk about Qin An, when he heard Li Zhi in the carriage shout to Ping Wei beside Xu Wei: "Ping Wei, let's go back first!" Let them be arguing for a while! ”
Xu Yu glanced at Qin An with a grudge, pushed away Qin An with the corner of his robe, climbed into the carriage, got into the carriage and smiled at Li Zhi, looking at Li Zhi, who was still cold-faced, and sat on the side obediently.
After a while, Qin An also climbed in, and heard Ping Wei shouting outside the carriage, and the carriage drove up quickly.
Half an hour later, the carriage drove into Yujin Lane and came to the gate of the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, the carriage slowly stopped, and Ping Wei shouted into the carriage.
Qin An, who was sitting in the carriage, said to Li Zhi with a smile: "I'll accompany you to send Nuo'er back first!" ”
"No, otherwise, I'll go down and talk to Master Hou with you." Li Zhi raised his eyes and said at Qin An, who had not yet gotten up.
"Haha! No, no, I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself, and I'll send it to you when I raise money. Qin An said to Li Zhi with a smile, and got up and got out of the carriage.
Xu Yu watched Qin An get out of the carriage with a fart, turned his head and secretly glanced at Li Zhi, and saw Li Zhi looking at him with a straight face.
Xu Yu smiled bitterly and hurriedly explained: "Brother Jiu, I, I was originally going around the mansion, but I didn't expect to meet Qin An to come out to you." I didn't control myself and ran out after him. ”
"And." Li Zhi leaned back, half-leaning against the wall of the car, and asked leisurely.
Li Zhi, who glanced at Xu Yu, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, lowered his head, and said softly: "I want to buy fabric, but the fabric is too expensive, so I want to make it myself, and then Qin An will take me to that Zhuangzi." ”
After the promise was finished, for a long time, he didn't hear Li Zhi's voice, tilted his head to look at Li Zhi, and found that Li Zhi was still leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed.
Xu Yu was stunned for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Jiu, how much do we have to pay that concubine?" ”
"It's not us who pay, it's me who pays." Li Zhi straightened up, looked at Xu Promise and said helplessly.
When Xu Yu heard Li Zhi's words, he instantly closed his mouth, lowered his head regretfully, and the carriage instantly quieted down.
After a while, the carriage came to the gate of the Jin Palace, Li Zhi heard Pingwei's voice, got up and got out of the carriage directly, and promised to follow Li Zhi slowly and get out of the carriage.
Li Zhi got out of the carriage and glanced back at the promise, walked into the Jin Palace, and then walked towards his study. Xu Yu looked at Li Zhi, who was gone, and followed quickly.
After a while, Li Zhi walked into the study, listened to the promise behind him, and shouted with his back to the promise, "Come on." ”
Xu Yu's eyes suddenly widened in fright, and he looked at Li Zhi who was facing back to him in front of him in horror, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Jiu, I know it's wrong, I'll make money to compensate you, okay?" Brother Nine..."
"Your Highness." After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he suddenly heard the voice of the boss of the twelve guards behind him, and he reached out in fright and grabbed Li Zhi's sleeve and shook it, and said pitifully: "Brother Jiu, I really know that I am wrong, I won't run around, I will find a way to make money for you." ”
"Pingwei, go and call Xiting." Li Zhi turned around, stroked his promise, and said to Ping Wei at the door.
"Brother Jiu, what are you shouting Xi Ting for, I went out by myself, she doesn't know, she really doesn't know. Brother Jiu, if you want to punish me, punish me! Xu Promise was frightened and reached out and grabbed Li Zhi's sleeve again, and said in a low cry.
Ping Wei walked out in response, and after a while, he led Xi Ting in.
Li Zhi looked at Xi Ting who walked in and said, "Take her back, lock her up, and don't allow her to eat dinner tonight." ”
Xi Ting was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then Shi Li said yes, and then walked out with a stunned promise.
Li Zhi saw that Xu Yu was taken out of the house by Xi Ting, so he turned his head to look at the boss of Ping Wei and the twelve guards and said, "You go to the housekeeper, go and count the money in the treasury, and then pack it up and send it to Qi Guifei." ”
Li Zhi looked at the two who had withdrawn in response, took a deep breath, walked to the bed of Luohan who was playing the chess game with a bitter face helplessly, sat down slowly, and played chess after calming down.
