Chapter Forty-Nine: Splendid Powder Mill
Gong Laoqi looked cold, like Gong Jun, glanced at me, and then nodded and said, "Yes, you are allowed to have one piece for each of you." ”
Xiao Xi'er was very happy, ran back and took my hand, and happily pulled me towards a flower umbrella stall not far away, the umbrellas here are extraordinarily pink, no wonder it will attract the attention of Zhu Xi'er, the ancient style of flower umbrellas, some are stretched out on the ground, and there are hanging on the top of the umbrella stall pillars, and the table in front of the stall owner is even more varied, countless.
When the young beautiful lady saw us coming, she greeted us happily: "Little masters, look here, there are a lot of good-looking flower umbrellas, cheap and beautiful, 5 Wen one, the little master looks here." ”
Xiao Xi'er took the umbrella handed by the little lady, shook her head and put it aside, and found a good-looking foundation safflower umbrella in the stack of goods on the other side, the red peony on the screen opened in response, and a few delicate little butterflies, she asked me with a happy face: "One sister, one sister, how about this?" ”
I smiled and nodded: "It's not bad, Xi'er's vision is good." ”
Hearing my praise like this, Xiao Xi'er immediately said: "Then this one is for a sister, and Xi'er will pick it again." ”
I hadn't answered yet, but the palace elder in the back said, "No, she doesn't want this." ”
I turned my head to look at this guy, it was really inexplicable, I saw that he didn't even look at me, he took out a small sachet directly from his arms, took out five cents from it, handed it to the little lady, and said, "That's it." ”
Then, he said to me and Xiao Xi'er, "Follow up, go and get Naichi's things." ”
What does this mean? So I was left to look at Xiao Xi'er, but we couldn't think about it at all, only to see that the guy quickly turned into a small alley in front, and we hurriedly stepped forward to catch up, and through this alley, another street came out horizontally, and he didn't look back, and went straight to a shop opposite the alley.
There are a number of flower stands placed on the periphery of the shop, and the two sides are symmetrically arranged, and they are full of beautiful flowers, and the fragrance of flowers comes from afar, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they look at it.
I walked closer to Xiao Xi'er to see that there was a plaque on the courtyard in the center of the door "Splendid Fragrance Powder Fang". Gong Lao Qi had already gone in first, and when I looked at the name of this plaque, I felt that it was very familiar, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I was pulled into the hall by Xiao Xi'er.
The chic fragrance in the hall comes to the nostrils, there are several exquisite tables, there are all kinds of rouge gouache scattered one by one, not like the ancient counter pattern in the general TV, but it is a very comfortable and idle leisure hall, several round jade tables are placed in the hall, each with four small chairs of the same style.
In the far corner, there is a woman trying to improve the quality, she is sitting on a chair, there is a little maid standing behind her, and she is introduced to an elegant girl, a long aqua blue gauze skirt, taking advantage of the graceful figure, her hair is scattered from the back, and there are beautiful tassel jewelry falling on the bun. Seeing us coming in, he whispered something to the woman in front of him, and then hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "It's with Master Xuan, Rouge, take the two little masters to the Yufang Pavilion upstairs first." ”
Then, a little maid came out from the back of a booth and led me and Xiao Xi'er up the stairs on the side of the hall.
The little maidservant named Rouge led us to the door of the innermost private room on the second floor, and then withdrew.
The old man was sitting in it, and a maidservant was pouring tea for him, and when he saw us come in, he told her to go down after she had poured three cups of tea. Then, he said to me, "Don't get me wrong, it was Master who asked Ben Xiaowang to bring you here." ”
Master? Wu Li? What did you bring me here for?
Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I remembered why I thought the name of "Splendid Powder Fang" was so familiar. It turned out that after Wu Li sent me back to Naifu, the shop mentioned in the letter in the bag I gave me, I remember that he said that he asked me to find the owner of this shop for something, and he also made a small golden key as a token, but I thought that these things were very precious, so together with the crimson bracelet given by the eldest prince, pressed under my pillow.
"Although you still told Ben Xiaowang this morning, it has nothing to do with my master. But the so-called unrelated person in your mouth asked Ben Xiaowang to come here to fetch something for you. ”
When Xiao Xi'er heard this, she pulled my sleeve and said to me, "What Brother Xuan said, is it the head of the White Sect?" When did Sister Yi become so familiar with Bai Jiaotou? ”
I wanted to strangle Wu Li when I landed, why did this guy pretend not to know, is it necessary? Since he pretended to be all the same, he knew that the old man of this palace was a curious spirit, why did he let him come to such a play, is it interesting? Didn't he know that after this lie came out, he would have to use a lot of individual panic to justify himself? And knowing that this person is the most suspicious of me and him, isn't it stupid to send him?
I saw Gong Lao Yu leaning back on a chair, staring at me with a "see how you explain" expression on his face.
I smiled at Xiao Xi'er and said, "Actually, I didn't know each other before. It's just that when I was archery, the head of the White Sect saw that I was naturally stupid, so he left me behind. Your brother Xuan thought that the head of the Bai Sect wanted to teach me martial arts privately, so he felt that the relationship between the two of us was extraordinary. ”
Xiao Xi'er said "oh" very strangely, and then asked, "Then why did he give a gift to his sister?" ”
Okay now, the old man of the palace looked at me directly, and he was conveying a look of asking you to continue to pull it every minute......
I licked my somewhat dry lips, took a few sips of the tea on the table, and figured out the relationship in my heart, and then smiled again: "I really don't know this." If it must be said that there is a relationship, it should be the order of Prince Chenchang. Isn't this White Sect Leader from Prince Chen's place? ”
Sure enough, as soon as the eldest prince moved out, the old man of this palace immediately softened. He frowned, as if believing my words. But in an instant, his eyes became cold again, and his tone was stiff and cold, and he said to me, "How do you know that Master Bai is from Brother Chen's courtyard?" ”
I...... Naturally, I've seen it! Is there anything wrong with that?
Seeing that he suddenly became serious, I replied seriously: "A few days ago, I went to the courtyard of the eldest prince, and the head of the white sect was beside the eldest prince. And the last time you shot arrows, when you talked to Bai Jiaotou about the eldest prince and his sword since childhood, you felt familiar. ”
"These are not important, the important thing is that the first time you met Brother Chen, you actually met my master?" What's so surprising about this? Although the person accompanying him is not him, but Heiye. Am I saying the wrong thing?
So he quickly explained: "Yes." When I first came to the palace, I was taken by Hei Ye. ”
Gong Lao's eyes widened: "You even saw the black master?" ”
I...... Is it wrong the more you say it? Why is there an illusion that you have dug a pit and jumped into it?
Gong Lao Yu suddenly spoke: "Do you know that Brother Chen's shadow guard is not one, but three. Everyone knows about this day, but few people know about this black and white ghost. ”
No wonder, it turns out that there is such an operation.
I only heard him say again: "And you, but let Brother Chen treat him like this, even the black and white ghosts have become your guide." ”
Why do I think this tone is wrong? Fortunately, Xiao Xi'er suddenly spoke: "Xi'er only knows that the head of the Bai Sect is Brother Xuan's master, but she has never heard of the black and white ghosts, listen to Brother Xuan's meaning, now this Bai is the head of the White Sect, so this black?" First sister, who is this person? But there is another layer of identity? ”
When Gong Lao heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, and ordered Xiao Xi'er very harshly: "Today's events, if they reach the ears of the fourth person, don't blame me for ignoring the feelings of my brother and sister." ”
Xiao Xi'er was so frightened by the sudden change that she quickly shut up, the hand holding me trembled, I quickly hugged her tightly, and said to the palace old man who suddenly lost his temper for some reason: "Little Prince Xuan, don't you think you are too much?" It is you who tell the secret, since you know that it is a secret, why can't you control your mouth, and now you don't choose what to say, but you want to blame others? ”
Gong Lao's face was black, his eyes looked at me sharply, Xiao Xi'er withdrew from my arms, took a few big breaths, and replied to Gong Lao'er: "Brother Xuan, don't worry, Xi'er must be tight-lipped." Then he said to me, "Sister Yi, don't be angry, it's Xi'er's." ”
I suddenly felt that the little girl was too sensible. Looking at the old man of the palace again, his lips were still tense and he didn't say a word. It wasn't until there was footsteps outside the door, getting closer and closer, that he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to ease his emotions.
The person who came was the blue-shirted woman who had just entered the store, her face was pretty, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were very impressive. ”
"Sister Fang doesn't need to be polite, this Xiaowang is here to get something this time, let's go out and talk."
Then, the two quickly walked out. And I was thinking in my heart, this woman who claimed to smoke and water, but was so politely called Sister Chengfang by Gong Lao, should be this white sect leader...... Phew, it should be the Fang family that Wu Li said, right?
Xiao Xi'er saw that I was absent-minded, thinking that I was still worried about myself, so she said to me: "Sister Yi, don't compete with Brother Xuan for Xi'er in the future, Brother Xuan is not Han'er, he is the little prince who is the most beloved by the imperial aunt." ”
What does this mean? Could it be that among this group of princes, this palace boss is the hardest person in the background?
I think even so, I can't blame others for my mistakes. I felt that this little Xi'er was like this, and she was still worried about me, so she felt very sorry for the little girl, and told her very intimately: "Sister Yi knows, I make you worried." Xiao Xi'er, you remember, don't say much about the head of the White Sect today. ”
Xiao Xi'er nodded and looked at me, with the little tears in her eyes that were scared out by the old man of the palace just now. My heart couldn't help but tremble, this palace old man who looked a little confused on the surface, didn't think that now he could really deter such a close person by playing his own imperial power.
And I, maybe it's really because I feel from the bottom of my heart that he is just a child, without any deterrence, and he has a little bit of a good impression of me, so he dares to confront him like this, now that I think about it, if he couldn't help but fight with me at that time, and told him about the so-called backstage, I'm afraid I can't escape the blame.
