Qin Fengmian had been waiting outside the courtyard, and when he saw Qi Yan coming out with a red face, he hurriedly dodged behind the pillar and hid, and he didn't pay attention, but he fell on his heels with a bang, so that when he came to see Li Mao, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there was a big bag on his forehead.

He handed Li Mao a secret letter sent from Chang'an, and briefly stated: "It is rumored in Chang'an that the Son of Heaven will make Li Zhan, the king of Lijing, the crown prince. ”

Li Mao read through the secret documents and said to Qin Fengmian: "Send the secret letter to Chang'an immediately, and let Manager Qin find out why the Son of Heaven is in a hurry to establish a reserve." ”

Qin Mo received a secret letter from Youzhou early in the morning of the third day, and after reading it with a wry smile, Li Mao asked him to figure out why the Son of Heaven was in a hurry to establish a reserve, and he also wanted to, but the ban was strict, so he couldn't figure it out.

Recently, the court situation has been chaotic, Lin Ying is watching himself in every way, Long Xiang Ying almost didn't build a road wall outside the Jinjuan Courtyard to enclose himself, in order to protect the eyes and ears of the palace, he can only temporarily cut off contact with them, the palace is deep, and he doesn't have a pair of heavenly eyes, how can he see clearly.

But Li Mao urged him very tightly, and this matter was very important, and it was really necessary to figure it out quickly, Qin Mo thought about it and decided to use the last killing move to find Chen Shu.

Chen Shu is a nail buried by Li Mao deep in the Longxiang camp, because it is too deeply hidden, so it is very laborious to use, Qin Mo and him never have direct contact with each other, if you need to meet, you need to go through an intermediary, and the intermediary will decide the time and place to arrange the meeting according to the situation.

The middleman is a famous bustard in Pingkangli, named Xia Ruihe, who was popular all over Ziqing in the past, and the brothers Li Shigu and Li Shidao were both ministers under her skirt. The imperial court crusaded against Ziqing, uprooted the big tree of the Li family, she had nowhere to live in the countryside, and then came to Chang'an with the help of Li Shidao's old Li Gongdu, who could not bear the loneliness and returned to the old business.

This is a statement to the outside world, the truth is that before the city of Yunzhou was broken, Xia Ruihe was sent out of the city by the head of the copper tiger, and boarded the ship from Laizhou to Youzhou, and the reason why she chose to go to Youzhou was because her children were in Youzhou and lived in Li Mao's house.

Youzhou is not as cold and lonely as Yunzhou, but Xia Ruihe has passed a lively age, she should have stayed in Youzhou to reunite with her children and share the joy of family, why did she leave to come to Chang'an It is said that she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she wants to come to Chang'an to repay Li Mao for the careful care of her children over the years.

This lie was quickly pierced by the Longxiang camp, and they found that there were two reasons why Xia Ruihe left Youzhou after many visits, one of which was that a certain jealous female in the Chengwu Palace's mansion pointed at Xia Ruihe's nose in public and scolded her.

The second reason is that Xia Ruihe's children can't accept their mother's identity and refuse to meet her.

After a few rounds of fighting the two things, Xia Ruihe had no nostalgia for Youzhou, so he left Youzhou coldly.

She originally wanted to go to Luoyang, but after Yunzhou was pacified, many people who were attached to the Li family went to Luoyang, and some of them were still quite nostalgic and took care of her.

She did live in Luoyang for a while, and it has always been a mystery why she chose to leave and come to Chang'an.

People only know that soon after she arrived in Chang'an, she reappeared in the rivers and lakes, fought in the flower forest again, and became famous for a while and became a well-known celebrity.

Qin Mo carefully groomed, and was about to go out, Qingmo killed her, she had just given birth to a daughter for Qin Mo, her body had not yet recovered, and her body looked a little bloated. In addition, mother's love is overflowing, accompanying and taking care of her young son day and night, and she can't take care of cleaning up and dressing up, the whole person looks decadent and sloppy, seeing Qin Mo's oily and slippery dress, he frowned, leaned on the door, and shouted: "Where are you going?"

Qin Mo was annoyed in his heart, and replied in a stiff voice: "Go out to meet guests." Look at what you look like, go look in the mirror and see what kind of body you have become, running around the yard in your pajamas, thinking of yourself as something."

Qingmo yawned lazily and said, "What you said is light, you men only want to be happy for a while, but you hurt us to suffer, have children, do you know how hard it is, I don't know how hard it is, I don't know how to be considerate and considerate of me, and I still scold me with bad words, do I owe you to the old Qin family" Qingmo said with red circles in his eyes.

Qin Mo hurriedly took out his own handkerchief to wipe her eyes, patted her shoulder and coaxed softly: "Okay, okay, it's me who is not good, I am in a hurry to go out, and I am a little angry." Good, go back and make up for sleep, look at your dark circles, you can see that it is lack of sleep, if you want to say that you too, the girl is taken care of at night, you sleep with yours, who let you guard her all night. ”

Qingmo was pushed out by him, and said as he walked: "You said lightly, she is the meat that fell from my body, is it easy for me to give birth to her when I am so old, whose child is hurt, I am not distressed, who is distressed and expects you to be a careless grandfather, tell me how long it has been since you were born that you have not taken care of our mother and daughter"

Qin Mo really didn't want to listen to his wife's complaints, and while pushing her out, he hurriedly called someone to take her away, Qingmo had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and suddenly stood up again, turned his head and instructed: "Come back early in the evening, don't drink too much." Qin Mo said: "I know, I know, hurry up." Qingmo ignored her husband's impatience and still chattered: "I made the soup, I wanted to feed her a sip, they said she can't drink it, I can't drink it myself, I drank the milk Wang is equivalent to giving her a drink, but there is so much soup, I can't drink it alone, I'm waiting for you to come back and drink it." ”

Qin Mo was about to jump up impatiently, and even said that he knew, so he hurriedly sent Qingmo away.

"Sure enough, it's a long love affair between children and daughters, heroes are short of breath, and mother-in-law and mother-in-law are really troublesome"

Qin Mo muttered twice, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly found that his handkerchief was missing, thinking that he had just wiped Qingmo's eyes and fell into her hand, the handkerchief was given by him as a good gift, and it was a pity to lose it, but I had to ask for it, it was too late, and I was afraid that Qingmo would be suspicious, and I was worried about it again and again.

Suddenly shouted: "What a big thing I am going to do, it is inexplicable to be entangled here for a piece of handkerchief"

After complaining, he went out the door.

The prosperity of Pingkangli is at night, and in the morning, Pingkangli is deserted, and the whole workshop is still immersed in sleep.

Xia Ruihe is already an old man with an identity, and he only does high-end regular customer business, so he doesn't have to stay up until dawn. She slept enough, was refreshed early in the morning, went out to water the flowers, played with the sword, came back and sat down, and the waiter groomed her.

Her makeup has to change three times a day, morning, noon, night, and late at night, and there are many times in the middle to repair, there are always a few hours in a day that are consumed in front of the dressing mirror, every time at this time, she picks up a copy of Xijing poems to see, this is the improvised work of the literati and scholars in the capital when they linger in the flower field, Pingkangli is a heavy place in the flower forest of Chang'an, every day there will be a thick copy of the poem presented in front of her, like a long scroll in front of her slowly unfolded, she saw joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, I saw the wonderful life of the court and others.

The poems are only read by a very small number of people with discerning and taste, but most people only read the poems as accumulating drunken conversation, but she can always read a different style from them.

The waiter came in with a poster.

The waiter has been with her for seven or eight years, she is well-informed, and she has to see the person who holds this post, not to say that she has gotten up, even if she is still asleep, she must be woken up.

"Invite him in."

Qin Mo and Xia Ruihe faced each other, Qin Mo put a brocade box in front of her, the lid of the box was opened, and there were two pieces of high-grade jadeite, this is the rule of this line, and the request can only be told after the gift.

He wanted to see Chen Shu.

Xia Ruihe said: "The wind is tight, and it is very inconvenient. ”

Qin Mo said: "The stakes are very high, so I can only take a risk." ”

Xia Ruihe said: "I'll make an appointment to see it." ”

After being silent for a while, Xia Ruihe asked again: "Are they all okay?"

Qin Mo put down the tea bowl and said, "It's all fine, I just miss my mother, after all, I am still a teenager." ”

Xia Ruihe's eyes were misty, and she nodded with a handkerchief: "Since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave, go and sit with her." ”
