Chapter 147: Blending into the Mansion
I didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the next day dawned, Ji Yunxiao tidied up his clothes, went down to the first floor, and ordered something to eat casually, the main thing was to try his luck and see if he could hear some news that was beneficial to him!
Really......
After two teas, a few people sat around the window, and they looked a bit like the officials in the house.
"Official, what do you want to eat today?" Listening to this tone, those few seem to be regular visitors to this inn.
However, those people hung their heads and looked listless, "Come to the bar with two pots at will, and we will have important things to do later." ”
"Oh? Hasn't Fengcheng been quiet in the past few months, could something big happen? The shopkeeper asked with a grin.
"Don't say it, it's really an urgent matter!"
"Huh? No way? The shopkeeper didn't expect that he could guess what he said casually, and he was immediately curious about what was going on.
"Hey, don't ask, hurry up and go to the bar!" Obviously, the other party was in a hurry, otherwise he would not have been in such a hurry.
The little second brother didn't dare to spoil the other party's big thing, so he quickly nodded and went down to get the wine.
As soon as the wine came, several people drank it in twos and threes, their expressions relaxed, and they couldn't help but talk more.
"Big brother, the adults are desperately trying to take the opportunity to please that master this time, but now the red team is far away, how can this be good?" The tall, thin man asked with a worried look on his face.
The person next to him couldn't help but get anxious when he heard this, "Yes, big brother, although the adults said that the red team may have gone to the north, but the three cities in the north, I don't know which city they are in now, and if I chase it now, it is impossible to find it back in three days!" ”
"Hey, what's the solution, my lord said, if you serve that master well, you will have a prosperous and prosperous future in the future, but if you serve poorly, it will be a big deal to lose your head!" If this matter is spread on his own head, he can only be regarded as unlucky!
The eldest brother in the lead drank a glass of wine sullenly.
Ji Yunxiao heard something on the side, pursed his lips, and smiled lightly.
Between the toasts, a fourth man dressed in official clothes hurried in from outside, and at a glance he saw a few brothers here and rushed over.
"Head! Something is wrong! ”
"You just know what's wrong?" This happened to a few of them, can it not be considered a life-threatening matter?!
The man who rushed in gasped and shook his head violently, "No, I mean, there's a great thing!" I went to the city gate to inspect just now, and I heard that the head of the red team, his wife, is about to give birth, so he may rush back to Fengcheng with a team of people tomorrow! ”
"Is that true?!" The leader stood up excitedly.
"It's true, I also went to the vicinity of the master's house to inquire, and it was said that the woman was pregnant for ten months, and she will give birth in a few days, and the owner of the class is also an infatuated person, who is middle-aged, but only married a woman in the family, and it can be regarded as a market on weekdays, and when the time comes, the owner of the class and the class will come back!"
"That's great!" This time, as long as the other party can come back in time, there must be an explanation from the adult's side, and it is really a happy event!
"Hey, chief, where are you going?" As he spoke, the head ran out first.
"Report to your lordship!"
"Huh? …… Hey, wait for us! He couldn't care about drinking the wine, so he threw down the wine money, picked up the official knife, and rushed out of the inn.
Red team? ……
Ji Yun took a sip of tea with a smile, and when the shopkeeper went to the table just now to collect the wine money, he stopped her and asked, "Little second brother, this Fengcheng is peaceful."
What are the features of the time? ”
The shopkeeper had an impression of this person, and guessed that he was a foreigner at the time, but now when he heard her ask, he became more and more sure of his thoughts at that time.
"Guest officer, if you come to Fengcheng to play, you can be regarded as the right place, here is like spring all year round, the scenery is beautiful, not only there is unique food, there are grand lantern festivals and temple fairs every year, these are beautiful scenery that cannot be seen in other cities!
But what...... If you really want to count the local characteristics, it is the unique opera in Fengcheng, and the opera is the most famous performed by the red team. ”
Red team?
Ji Yunxiao bent the corner of his eyes, and handed out a tael of silver, "When I first arrived, I hope the little second brother will talk about it specifically." ”
The shopkeeper has been working in this inn for so long, and he has never received such a big reward in a year, and his face is happy.
The guest officer was generous, and he was willing to answer, so he told all the big and small deeds in the red team.
At the end of the day, my mouth was a little thirsty, but after such a big reward, even if it was a smoke in my throat, it was worth it!
"Is there anything else you want to know, officer?"
Ji Yunxiao shook his head contemplatively, "It's okay, you can go down." ”
"Gotcha! Guest, you eat and drink well! The little second brother happily put away the money and went down to work.
Ji Yun drank tea with a smile, looking out of the window, the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and seemed to have some ideas in his heart.
After noon, according to the agreement between Zimu Mountain and Changshui in advance, I went to the west of Fengcheng City first.
The more I walked west of the city, the more I noticed the silence in it.
It is not as lively as the previous streets, and the streets are full of vendors who do small business.
Ji Yunxiao looked up, and saw that it was still early, so he slowed down.
casually walked up to a young lady who was selling pears with a burden.
"Childe, do you want to buy pears? This is my home-grown pear, freshly plucked from the tree, it is big and sweet, and it quenches my thirst! As soon as the young woman saw that someone was coming, and that she was still a handsome boy, she could not help but ask for business.
Ji Yunxiao took a few casually, "How much?" ”
"Childe, it's a total of five cents."
"Hmm." Ji Yunxiao took out one or two casually.
"This ......" The woman was a little troubled, she usually sold pears in a sparse business, and rarely made money, and she couldn't find this tael of silver.
Ji Yunxiao seemed to see through the woman's embarrassment, and added, "Since there is no change, then there is no need to look for it." ”
"Huh? …… That son, this, how embarrassing is this. The young woman's face flushed, and she became even more embarrassed.
"It's better like this, I'm just going to find a friend, but when I first came to Fengcheng, I don't know where he lives, have you heard of Qingya?"
"Qingya? ......" She thought about it seriously, and suddenly sighed, "The friend that Childe is looking for is the young pianist in the red team, Lord Qingya?" ”
"You know?" Ji Yun laughed.
"Childe said with a smile, I, a little woman who sells pears, how can I know the adults in the famous red team, but the people in that team are too famous, and everyone in Fengcheng knows about it."
"Do you know where he lives?"
"It's in the west of the city, in this direction, and after you get to the west of the city, you can cross two more streets."
"Thank you!" After Ji Yun finished laughing, he walked in the direction of the little woman's finger just now.
What a humble and handsome boy!
Young woman
looked straight at the back, and waited for the figure to disappear, only then did he suddenly wake up, "Hey, Childe, your pear!" ”
I want to catch up, but there is no way to find it.
It's really strange, you don't have to look for money to buy pears, and in the end you even forget to take the pears......
Can't figure it out!
When Ji Yunxiao came to the bridge in the west of the city, it was almost dusk, and after waiting there for a long time, Changshui drove a horse over.
"Little ...... Son! Changshui was worried all the way before, for fear that Miss would have an accident on that strange mountain, but now that she saw that Miss was safe and sound, her hanging heart was suddenly sent down, "It's okay if Childe is fine, it's okay if it's okay." ”
Saying that, as if she remembered something important, she got off the horse and knelt on the ground, "Childe, when the slave maid entered the city, I heard that the people in the city were saying that the emperor of Yeyang Kingdom was ...... him."
Ji Yun smiled indifferently and helped her shoulders, "I ordered a room in the city inn, it is quiet and comfortable, let's talk while walking." ”
"Childe knows?" Changshui stood up, his face full of surprise.
Ji Yun turned around with a smile, "Well, I knew it yesterday, and now Emperor Jiushu lives in the mansion of the county magistrate in the city, and it seems that he doesn't plan to return to Beijing in a short time." ”
"Miss even knows this?" Changshui led the horse, followed closely behind, and admired in his heart, "Did the young lady find out about the Gongsun Mansion?" ”
"I went to Gongsun Mansion once last night, but Gongsun Yu said that Hanyu had already given it away two days ago." Ji Yunxiao took a deep breath.
"Gave it away?" Along the way, there were countless setbacks in her heart, but she never expected such a result! "Did the people of the Gongsun family say that they gave it to whom?"
Ji Yun smiled in vain, raised his head, "Emperor Jiushu ......"
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Yeyang Kingdom?!" Changshui's whole body stiffened in place, "But, how can it be?" What does he want Hanyu to do? ”
"Emperor Jiushu married a woman five years ago, no, it should be calculated a little earlier, maybe he had secretly had a crush before the war with Cangyun Kingdom, and secretly had a relationship with that woman, and left a child."
"After the emperor sealed, there are still children?!" Changshui was suddenly angry, "Five years ago, five years ago, when you were ...... You've suffered so much, but he's ...... Hmph, no wonder when I married Rong Xun in the Nine Kings' Mansion, I regretted getting married the most, no wonder you were ruthless to your son, it turned out that there were other women a long time ago!
Hmph, such a person is simply an unforgivable sin, the next time you see him, you must teach him a good lesson, give him a hard taste, and let him know that our son-in-law is not so easy to bully! ”
Ji Yun smiled when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a sneer, "He gave it to me at the beginning, I will naturally settle accounts with him, so why wait until next time!" ”
"Huh?" Changshui was stunned when he heard this, and changed his hand to lead the horse, but his eyes never left his young lady's face, "Childe, what do you mean?" ”
"As far as I know, in order to please Emperor Jiushu, the magistrate specially sent someone to find the most famous opera troupe in Fengcheng to go to the yamen to sing, and when the time comes, I will pretend to be a violinist and sneak into the magistrate's mansion, go inside to find the whereabouts of Hanyu, and wait for the things to come out unnoticed!" This strategy was also a temporary thought of when she listened to the conversation of the officials in the inn this morning.
Taking things nearby, it saves you the journey back to Beijing, not to mention, now that Emperor Jiushu is out of the palace, there are not so many guards around him, and it is much easier to get started!
"Okay, slave and maid go too!" Changshui took the initiative to ask for help.
Ji Yun smiled but shook his head resolutely.
"Why?" Although her skills are not as good as Mu Han, compared to the officials in the yamen, she can still handle it, and at the critical moment, she can protect Miss!
