Chapter Twenty-Three: An Unexpected Guest
After a long while, he got up and left.
After leaving for a long time, Ami called Xiaolian, "The ones that the Queen Mother gave me, as well as the objects given by the young ladies and princes, have they all been properly placed?" ”
Xiaolian nodded, "It's already stored in the warehouse." ”
"It's so good, I didn't expect to make a fortune by moving." ”
"It's just that the girls sent by the Queen Mother are estimated to be not very familiar with the environment, and there are always some negligences."
Ami waved her hand, "It's okay, it's the icing on the cake that there are more of these calls in the house, and it will be good if the time goes by." ”
The two were talking, but they saw not far away, Aunt Xu...... No, Xu Mo is leading two people over.
It seems that there are two men, one old and one young, the younger one is walking behind the two, and they can't see their appearance, but the older one in front, Ami thought about it hard, and she didn't remember that she knew this person.
A few people got closer, and only then did they vaguely hear the conversation between the two.
"The girl doesn't remember much about the past now, so the master of the door will take care of it more."
"That's natural, now it's always a ...... for the Bai family."
"Yes, the master should be relieved when he knows."
After saying a few words, several people had already arrived.
Ami looked at the man in front of her suspiciously.
The man was tall and burly, and although he was old, he could vaguely see that he was also a handsome young man when he was young.
Before Ami could speak, Xu Mo introduced, "Girl, this is your Uncle Xiao, who used to come to our house often, and you were able to stick to him when you were a child." ”
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and laughed.
For this person, Ami has never seen it, but he has heard Xu Mo talk about it before.
This Uncle Xiao once went out with Dr. Bai and had a very good relationship, and later Dr. Bai became an official, this Uncle Xiao was not in the government and the opposition, and preferred the pride of the rivers and lakes, so he founded the Poison Doctor Gate, which can be described as a double absolute of medicine and poison.
Uncle Xiao smiled, "I went out on errands some time ago, and as soon as I came back, I heard about you, and I thought that you would be bullied if you were helpless in this imperial city, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”
After that, he glanced back, and his attitude was completely different from when he faced Ami, "I haven't come to meet your sister Yu'er yet." ”
The person behind him seemed to be extremely unwilling, and bent over slowly, not bothering to say a word.
When he looked up, his body shook suddenly, and the three of them exclaimed at the same time.
"How are you!" These two sentences came from Ami and the young man, and there was a hint of anger mixed in the shock.
"How are you!" - This sentence came from Xiaolian, with obvious joy.
The two of them heard Xiaolian's voice and turned their heads in unison.
The man looked at him, very puzzled, I know her?
Ami is also very puzzled, how could Xiaolian know him?
Uncle Xiao and Xu Mo next to them were stunned.
It was Xu Mo who reacted first, "I think the three of us have known each other a long time ago, so it saves us from saying anything more." ”
Uncle Xiao echoed, "Ce'er and Yu'er met when they urinated, I didn't expect that they could still get together after so many years, and it was fate." ”
Ami and the others reacted, and they all restrained some of their emotions, and Xiaolian was alone, and they still looked at the man with a nymphomaniac......
Xu Mo looked at a few people, and then said with a smile, "A few of you will talk first, there are still some things ahead, so I will go over first." ”
As he spoke, he blessed a few people and walked towards the front hall.
Uncle Xiao watched Xu Mo's figure disappear behind the arch, then looked back at Xiao Ce and said, "Didn't you just say that you had an appointment with your group of friends?" Don't go yet! ”
Xiao Ce glanced at him impatiently, then looked at Ami, and walked away without looking back.
Ami glared back at him, her teeth itching with hatred.
And Xiaolian looked at his back with blank eyes, full of nonsense, "Sister Ami, I'm ...... I remembered that the cats outside hadn't been fed yet...... I'll come when I go. ”
After that, she raised her legs to keep up with Xiao Ce, her steps were small, and she needed to trot to keep up.
"Childe wait for me!"
"I don't know you......"
"I'm the ...... of the day"
It wasn't until the voices of the two of them could not be heard outside that Ami turned her head to look at Uncle Xiao, "Uncle Xiao has something to say." ”
Uncle Xiao nodded, "When your father was alive, he expected that there would be such a day, and he told me in advance, if something happened to him at that time, you must not investigate deeply." ”
He sighed and continued, "But he didn't expect that person to be so ruthless, and he didn't want to let anyone go. ”
Ami was surprised, "Why?" What does Uncle Shaw know? “
He shook his head, "That's all he said to me, and the rest, not a word was revealed. ”
Ami smiled bitterly, "Uncle Xiao knows why I became the Lord of Jiahe?" ”
"Why?"
"Presumably Xu Mo also told you, I don't remember the past at all, and even changed my name and surname, despite this, there are still people who want to kill me, if I don't dig deeper and find out the real culprit behind the scenes, sooner or later I will die in their hands."
After a pause, she looked at Uncle Xiao again and said, "Instead of dying unclear, it is better to take the initiative to find out the truth." ”
Uncle Xiao was stunned, obviously he didn't expect things to be like this.
He shook his sleeve robe and looked angry, "These people are really too deceitful!" If there is any need in the future, Yu'er just has to say that my poison doctor sect also has some power in the rivers and lakes! ”
Ami rolled her eyes, "In this way, there is really something that Uncle Xiao needs to help with." ”
Uncle Xiao turned his head to look at her, a little curious, "Oh? What's the matter? ”
Ami leaned over and whispered her thoughts......
Later in the evening, Ami sent Uncle Shaw outside the gate.
"Uncle Xiao, I will definitely come to visit in the future, but now Yu'er is not sensible, so I asked you to come over and run first."
Shaw laughed loudly, "This is very good, if you don't come to see it, I'm afraid you'll forget where it is." ”
Uncle Xiao said as he turned over and got on his horse, "I'll be waiting for you at the poison doctor's door!" ”
Ami smiled, "Good! ”
Uncle Shaw kicked the horse's belly and rode away.
At this time, Xiaolian was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard with her chin propped up with a depressed face.
Ami walked over, poured a cup of tea slowly, and said jokingly, "Say, how did you know that Xiao Ce?" ”
Xiaolian glanced at her, "That day, I went shopping on the street and met the eldest lady of Yixianglou, she made trouble for me, and then Brother Xiao Ce relieved me, and I have been thinking about repaying him!" ”
Ami didn't hold a mouthful of water, and sprayed it all on the ground, choking and coughing, "Xiao ...... Brother Xiao Ce? Hahaha......"
Xiaolian looked at her puzzled.
"When did you become so familiar with him?"
Xiaolian pouted, "He's older than me......"
Ami laughed for a while before she calmed down, "I can remind you, this person has gone to the drunkard's house to make trouble before, and he is a layman, so don't be too careful." ”
This Xiao Ce is the red-clothed young man who took a group of sons and brothers to sneer at that day.
Xiaolian snorted lightly, "But he saved me......"
Ami got up, shook her head, and walked towards her new boudoir.
It was nearly evening, but the clouds suddenly came.
Ami saw Liuyun and thought, what is the matter with this Rui King!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liuyun saw her, he handed her a brocade box.
Ami took it suspiciously, opened it and saw that it was a very delicate bracelet, metallic, about a finger wide, dotted with fine jade rhinestones, facing the light, it was as dazzling as the stars in the sky.
She exclaimed as she took the bracelet out of the brocade box, "It's so beautiful!" This thing must have cost a lot of money. ”
Liuyun was originally kind and pleasant, but when he heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared, "Take a closer look!" How can this be said to be bought? ”
Hearing this, Ami took the bracelet closer and took a closer look, and found that there were several bulges of fine jade in the middle of the bracelet, and there was a round jade stone on the side, which would not be noticed if you didn't look carefully.
She looked up and asked, "What does that mean?" ”
Liuyun was triumphant, "Hmph~ This is specially customized for you by my prince, and a silver needle will shoot out when you press that jade, and other girls don't have such treatment as you." ”
Ami was flattered, "Then I don't have to slap you well?" ”
"That's ~"
Ami stared at the bracelet in her hand and didn't look at him, "You can get it~ You just came here today, and I'll go over to run again." ”
Liuyun lowered his face, "What's the matter?" ”
Ami fiddled with it for a long time, and finally brought the bracelet on, and her white wrist was even more pleasing to the eye against the dazzling stars.
"Do you know about the Poison Doctor? The master of the sect was the same brother as my father, and he came here today and told me a clue. ”
Liuyun asked happily, "What's the clue?" ”
"In a village outside Lin'an City, there is a family surnamed Zhang, who used to be an errand in the Bai family, and my father was afraid that after he encountered an accident, no one knew the truth, so he told the Zhang family everything."
Liuyun was excited, "In this way, the matter that the prince has been pursuing for so long is finally going to be clarified!" ”
Ami stopped him, "Be quiet, don't leak the news, you go back and tell your prince about this matter first, and we will set off together to Lin'an on a certain day." ”
Liuyun immediately covered his mouth and whispered, "Are you going too?" ”
Ami glared at him, "Without me, are you so sure you can ask for news?" ”
Liuyun shrunk his neck, "Then I'll go back to the prince." ”
As he spoke, he immediately turned around and went back to the palace.
"Go, go, go!"
Ami waved at him casually, and her gaze returned to her wrist.
She had long wanted something for self-defense, but the armory shop was full of big swords and long swords, and it was impossible to carry them with her.
Now the one sent by Changli is small and exquisite, and it is not easy to be discovered, but it is very much in line with her heart.
