Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Mastermind Turns Out to Be Him

Xu Hui's eyes widened, it's still a small number, is three hundred guan a small number?

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao loves her sister's heart, and her concubine should be happy." Well, three hundred is not too expensive. This strange stone must be hard to find, but there is nothing in the world that wants to find the same. ”

Xiao Zhao nodded his head again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, the slave family thinks the same way." ”

Xu Hui rolled her eyes helplessly, but she did like this stone, and the bracket underneath was also exquisitely made, which complemented the stone together.

Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Sister, there is also a gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess, how about the slave family?" ”

This is the rhythm of slipping, Xu Hui was hindered by the presence of His Majesty Li Er, so he had to nod and said: "Go, don't forget that starting tomorrow, you will enter the palace to study." ”

"Yes, yes." Xiao Zhao's head nodded happily, greeted the two palace people, and walked out of the palace with a few boxes in his hands.

Seeing that the little sister was gone, Xu Hui turned to His Majesty Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, you are here to relieve Xiao Zhao from the siege?" ”

Hey, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, and his feet were still moving, and he said with a smile: "I walked casually, and I happened to see Fuji turning and fighting in the courtyard." Thinking that he hadn't seen Xiao Zhao for a long time, he came in to have a look. ”

Xu Hui smiled and looked at His Majesty Li Er with such eyes, as if to say: It's very well written, you believe it yourself, right?

His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, "Xiao Zhao is smart and clever, and his knowledge is reasonable, so why should you be too harsh?" If it's a boy, you let him get on the list; The girl's family, now this is enough. ”

Xu Hui pursed her lips and said, "Although Your Majesty is reasonable, you can't indulge her too much. You listen to what she says well, but this kind of spending money is not good. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded, no longer arguing with Xu Hui, but thought in his heart: How much money the Xu family has, I'm afraid you don't know how much money you are a sister. If you knew, you wouldn't think that a few hundred times is a lot.

In order to divert the topic, His Majesty Li Er asked casually: "Fang Caizhen is talking to Fuji outside, listen to her, how can the Xu family still have a rule, girls are not allowed to marry under fifteen?" ”

Xu Hui laughed and said, "Xiao Lang's rules, right?" However, he revealed a few words in the letter, saying that the girl was too young, her body was not grown, and early marriage was harmful and unprofitable. ”

"If I marry late, won't the population of my Datang grow even more slowly?" His Majesty Li Er was a little unimpressed, shook his head and said, "Qi Lin's discussion is inappropriate?" ”

Xu Hui said: "It's not all Xiaolang's idea, he's still young, how can he understand these things?" I heard him say that it was Lu Yuxian who often had difficulties in giving birth to young girls when he was young, and there were often tragedies of both mother and son, so he felt that it was better to marry later. ”

After a pause, she added: "Lu Yu Xianchang also made an analogy, there is a term in Go, 'first in the middle, then in the first', early marriage and late marriage each account for one. ”

His Majesty Li Er groaned, and only said after a while: "Go, I know how to do it, 'first in the middle, then in the first', and I also know it, and it is explained in the "Book of Chess". ”

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have an understanding and said, "I somewhat understand what Immortal Lu Yu is referring to. ”

Xu Hui didn't care about this, after all, he hadn't experienced it, and when he saw that His Majesty Li Er had made it clear, he didn't mention it. Sitting in front of the tea set, she carefully concocted fragrant tea and held it to His Majesty Li Er.

"Well, it tastes great." His Majesty Li Er took a sip and praised: "What kind of tea is Concubine Ai brewing, I don't seem to have drunk it." ”

Xu Hui said with a smile: "This is the tea from Wuling Mountain sent by Qi Li, although it tastes good, it is not famous. ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "If it is Qi Lin, he must give a good name and make up a story to double the value of this tea produced in Wuling Mountain." ”

Xu Hui blinked his eyes and said, "It's not good if the tea is too expensive, and the common people won't drink it?" ”

His Majesty Li Er also blinked his eyes, and smiled without saying a word. Ordinary people can't afford to drink tea, so they drink something else, when there was no tea before, didn't they live like that!

Seeing Xu Hui bow his head to mix tea again, that focused and quiet expression made His Majesty Li Er not say anything about the assassination of Xu Qilin's mansion.

……………

When night fell, a person ushered in a person in Duhe's mansion, which immediately made the atmosphere in the study strange.

Du He's face was gloomy, listening to the report of this confidant, but he was secretly glad in his heart.

Ever since he sent someone to bribe the assassins to assassinate Xu Qilin in Ganzhou, Du He has been restless, and even remorseful.

It's okay to have a holiday with yourself, but it's a bit too much to kill him. It's only to blame myself for having a hot head and coming up with this trick.

It's just that the person has already set off, and it is not only difficult to recall again, but after the leak, he still can't get out of it.

So, these days, Duho is cranky, and sometimes he wakes up when he sleeps at night.

Now, things have finally come to an end. Although it was not the most satisfying for Du He, he was able to relax once the troubles were gone.

"An assassin who found an intermediary to contact. Now both the intermediary and the Assassin have goneβ€”" the doorman reached out and made a downward cut, "there is no proof of the matter, and there is no further trouble." ”

Du He breathed a sigh of relief, his face softened, and he nodded and praised: "Good job, this matter is over, I don't want to hear a word about it in the future." ”

The doorman hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, Du Lang, this matter will rot in the stomach of a certain person, and no second person will know about it." ”

"Okay." Du He smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will pay two hundred yuan from the account office in the house, and take a good rest in the capital!" ”

"Xie Dulang." After thanking the doorman, he retired.

Du He thought about it for a while, and felt that he would leave the doorman for the time being, and listen to the rumors. Moreover, there was no longer an intermediary or an assassin, and there was no evidence for this doorman to denounce him.

This doorman is not only close to him, but also very effective, and Du He is really reluctant to get rid of him.

Besides, Xu Qilin has nothing to do there, and there are no clues, and after a long time, naturally no one will mention it again, and no one will track it down anymore.

Well, it doesn't matter if you fail.

Du He sat down, relaxed his body and nerves, and was finally able to sleep peacefully.

……………

There is no reason to prevent thieves every day.

As Du He thought, he couldn't find clues, couldn't find any trace of the assassin, and couldn't think of anyone who would harm him, so Xu Qilin could only give up.

Life is on the right track again, and the regular routine seems to be living over and over again day long.

The cotton was harvested, baled and sent to the workshop, and the busy weaving began; The grain was counted and put into storage, trade became more active, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

According to the promise, the construction of the Jiangnan has been completed, and Xu Qilin is not in a hurry to go back.

In a letter with Li Sipang, Xu Qilin learned that the compilation of the "Chronicles of the Universe" would be completed in a few months. In other words, Li Sipang will get a big lottery again.

And this big lottery is a big stimulus for Li Chengqian. Maybe it was because of this that he began to embark on the road of rebellion, or maybe he did.

In other words, the fifteenth and sixteenth years of Zhenguan were sensitive periods. Li Chengqian is no longer frolicking and having fun, but has begun to really die.

You say that this guy doesn't have self-knowledge, others don't understand, and his father doesn't know, but he is an expert in coup d'Γ©tat.

As for the rotten garlic that Li Chengqian co-opted, he still wanted to put his father under house arrest, and he ascended the throne as the emperor, which was too naΓ―ve.

Therefore, Xu Qilin didn't want to wade into this troubled water. If possible, it is best to return to Beijing after Li Chengqian's death.

Of course, it depends on what His Majesty Li Er means. If he was summoned, he would have thought of a few ways to stay out of the matter.

The Western Regions are in the stage of business consolidation for the time being, and there will be no major incidents. His Majesty Li Er's eyes were estimated to turn to Liaodong, and Xu Qilin could take the initiative to ask for help and go to Hebei Province to prepare for the expedition.

The prosperity of Gansu and Suzhou has proved Xu Qilin's management and governance ability. In order to learn the lesson of Emperor Yang of Sui's failure, His Majesty Li Er would most likely agree to Xu Qilin's request.

Therefore, Xu Qilin is now waiting for the imperial court to arrange. It's okay if you let me go back, and it's okay if you don't.

Click! In the light of the hunting knife in the second room, a small tree was cut off. Startled, Xiao Qi and Xi Xi on the tree next to him flew with wings, chirping around the garden, and didn't dare to fall for a long time.

"There are only a few trees in the garden, and you have cut down three." Xu Qilin complained at Fang Er, who came over proudly, "It's not enough for you to cut a wooden target?" ”

Fang Er waved his hand and said confidently: "A certain family thinks that it is more imposing to cut down trees!" ”

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and felt that Fang Er should be given an axe and let him go to the mountains to cut wood.

Fang Er walked closer, sat down in the chair next to him, took the teapot, and poured it into his mouth.

Xu Qilin shook his head, ignored the fool, took the paintbrush, and continued to complete the work.

The face on the paper has been formed, and it is a delicate female doll, playfully sticking out her tongue. Although it hasn't been colored, it's already very much like the image of a small night.

"Whose girl is this?" Fang Er wiped the water stains on his mouth, looked over, and asked curiously.

Xu Qilin replied casually: "I forgot where I saw it, I just thought it was very cute, so I drew one casually." ”

Fang Er didn't ask in detail, turned his head to look at Ah Ke in the distance, who was lying in the hammock leisurely, and couldn't help but say: "Why does Ah Ke love the sun so much, strange?" ”

Are there fewer strange places? Xu Qilin smiled, not bothering to answer this question.

Xiao Ye likes the sun too much, and even the mood is related to the weather. When the sun is cloudless and sunny, she is especially cheerful; When the clouds are thick, there is a bit of melancholy.

Yes, it's melancholy. The emotions that originally belonged to Ah Ke also had Xiao Ye, which made Xu Qilin feel somewhat strange.

According to his guess, the two souls together, although they are considered complete, will still be affected by this to some extent.

To say that Xiao Ye can be regarded as inheriting Ake's skills, he can sing and play the piano. But she just doesn't like to open her mouth or use her hands, but she is fascinated by listening to others play and sing.

Looking at the playful image of Xiaoye on the paper, Xu Qilin couldn't help but sigh faintly. No wonder Daya is not very happy, she can no longer see the small appearance of her sister, and loss is always inevitable.

"Borrow some or two dollars." Fang Er rested for a while, then walked to the practice venue and said to Xu Qilin casually.

Xu Qilin hesitated, not that he cared about the two money, but that he felt that Fang Er had been tricked for so long, which was really pitiful.

"I said-" Xu Qilin couldn't help but persuade: "Don't play mahjong with Adjani and them." Playing every night, are you tired? ”

Fang Er stopped, smiled at Xu Qilin, and said, "Don't you know that Adjani's girl is cheating?" It's just a little money, just a little fun. ”

Xu Qilin couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he was a little impressed by Fang Er. This guy seems stupid, but he actually has a bit of brains and eyesight. It's really convincing to be able to endure not talking about it all the time.

Fang Er waved his hand, walked straight to the training ground, tied up a horse, exhaled and kicked at the wooden target man.

After a while, Ah Ke walked over with a black face, and complained before he got closer, "Practice martial arts, practice martial arts, what the hell are you called, it's so noisy that people can't even get sun." ”

Fang Er smiled silently, but ignored it, his eyes were round, his luck was like a fist, and he slammed his shot, and he actually smashed the wooden target at once.

Well, this hard qigong is a bit hot. Xu Qilin nodded secretly, Fang Er is going to the street to sell strong pills, and he can't starve to death!

Seeing that Fang Er ignored him, Xiao Ye turned around again, came to Xu Qilin's side, and saw the portrait he was painting at a glance, and couldn't help but let out a startled sound.

"Do you know?" Xu Qilin laughed and teased: "This girl's tongue can be spit out very long, so she didn't dare to draw it!" ”

Xiao Ye grinned, moved a chair and sat down, and said, "Is this for me?" It's like the kind that Scarlett and Adjani have, called, called picture frames. ”

Xu Qilin said: "Naturally, what I gave you is your current image, and this is for your sister, so that she won't forget you." ”

Xiao Ye blinked and said, "It's okay, save her from taking it seriously." Then you have to hurry up and give me the painting. ”

Xu Qilin nodded, and asked casually: "Ake's main soul is nourished in the soul detention order, if she doesn't release it, can I communicate and talk to her?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Ye replied without even thinking about it, "You can divide some divine consciousness and enter the Soul Detention Order!" ”

Xu Qilin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a solution. And if you separate the divine consciousness, isn't it equivalent to two consciousnesses and two souls?

"Not really." Hearing Xu Qilin's doubts, Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "You've heard that one mind is used for two purposes, and separating the divine sense is similar to this." ”

Xu Qilin seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and asked, "Then how to divide it?" ”

Xiao Ye thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you the Fa, whether you can practice it or not, it's hard to say." ”

Xu Qilin nodded and listened carefully to what Xiaoye said. This is indeed not something that can be mastered all at once, it has to be practiced repeatedly, and the consciousness must be strong to a certain extent.

Was this helpful? Xiao Ye didn't think so, and didn't take it seriously. Xu Qilin felt that he had a lot of potential, and he had a vague immature idea.
