Gao Shiqi was bragging when there was a quick knock on the door. A guy hurriedly went over and opened the door to look at the person who came and said, "I'm sorry, the small shop is full, please go to the west of the town, there are still empty houses in the old Cai family store over there." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard an old lady's voice reprimand: "Don't be wordy! We live in Cai's old shop, there is no fire there, we have to buy food here. The old lady went south and north, and I haven't seen you anywhere, this guy, who blocked people outside the door on a snowy day and talked! As he spoke, he squeezed his body and walked in, and pulled in a young man, and the two of them knocked down the snow on their bodies, and sat down at the table with a generous direction, so that everyone didn't know what to do. The young man was not as spicy as the old lady, and sat shyly with his head bowed without saying a word. The old lady put two taels of silver on the table and said loudly: "Beat a pound of rice wine, heat it a little, and have a yellow tobacco chicken, two bowls of mushroom soup and two bowls of rice with water." I said, shopkeeper, what are you stunned about, we don't have enough silver? ”

The guy had the intention to make things difficult, picked up the silver and looked at it carefully, it was a ninety-eight silver cake, half of which had been clipped, and the cut feet were still slightly white, which was really impeccable. He smiled and said, "Hehe, old lady, it's not that the little one refuses to support you." The clip clip in the store is broken, and you go to redeem the money, how about it? ”

The young man sitting silently next to him couldn't help it, and suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Reward you for the excess, can't you find it?" After speaking, he turned his face and looked at Gao Shiqi, and the two of them were all taken aback.

The young man stared at Gao Shiqi: "Huh? It's you—oh, but the surname is high? ”

Gao Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at the young man of unknown origin in front of him. I saw that he was wearing a red silk sheepskin coat, a pair of high-waisted cowhide boots under his feet, and a big windy lambskin hat pressed low. Xiu's eyes are thin, the corners of his mouth are slightly hanging, and there are a pair of deep dimples on his cheeks, although he is a little familiar, he can't remember where he met for a while. Just as she was shouting and pondering, the old lady suddenly said: "Gao Xianggong, you are really a noble person who forgets things, why don't you remember the old woman Han of Huangliang Dream?" ”

Gao Shiqi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, oh, this young man is none other than Tushetu Khan's daughter, and Chen Huang has a good time! He stood up and yelled at the shopkeeper standing aside, "Get out of here!" These two are with us—old lady, how did you get here? What about Haruha? ”

"The devil sent the gods to crash into here! Chunhe went to his second uncle's house to learn business in Hangzhou, and he really thought about you, the life-saving benefactor. The child you saved is now more than five years old, and his name is Han Mugao! ”

Everyone was stunned at this time. Gao Shiqi saw that everyone was surprised, so he told a rough story about his journey to Beijing to save Han Chunhe, and only hid his sedan chair to rescue Miss Zhou and A Xiu's life experience. These two things, one is related to one's own reputation and the other is related to national politics, and it is inconvenient to say more. At that moment, after everyone finished laughing and eating, Gao Shiqi ordered someone to clean up his inner room, let Han Liu's mother and daughter live, and set up another bunk in the outer room. After packing up, he went to the upper room to visit Kangxi again, and saw that the emperor was sweating profusely and sleeping soundly and deeply, before he came back to see Han Liu and Ah Xiu.

Han Liu sat on the warm hot kang, listening to the silence of the people outside, only the whistling wind rustling the snow on the ground, Fang said slowly: "Mr. Gao, people say that my wife has a lot of eyes, but she is actually a fool!" Do you know that the golden monk who lives in the Temple of the Heavenly King is actually a thief monk! ”

Gao Shiqi looked at Han Liu and A Xiu's miserable faces, recalling the scene when he was depressed and living in the temple, and his body was full of goosebumps.

Han Liu drank tea and fell into deep memories. Gao Shiqi used fire chopsticks to stir the charcoal basin, and listened to the old lady continue: "Soon after you went, it began to rain even in God. There's a lonely grave in my back garden, you know. When I moved to Shandong, I originally thought of an ownerless wild grave, and it was also a sin to expose the violent corpse, so when I built the house, I didn't touch it. But when the rain rained for a long time, the grave collapsed into a big hole, and the rain poured into it vigorously. I was dissatisfied when I saw that I was always dissatisfied, and I became suspicious. As soon as the day was clear, he asked someone to put down the big poplar tree on the grave, and wanted to dig it up to see what was buried. If he is really dead, he must be given a place to save himself from suffering in the water. ”

"So, you dug up the grave? What's buried there? ”

When Ah Xiu heard this, he silently took out a stick from his sleeve. Gao Shiqi saw that it was an emerald. Under the reflection of the candle flame, Axiu's soft palm emitted a green and faint light!

"That's it, and what cat eyes, rubies, all precious gems, a whole box. There were also a few boxes that were so heavy that they couldn't be moved. I didn't dare to move, thinking that it was about to be filled with gold bricks and silver ingots......" Gao Shiqi was a little out of breath with excitement, and asked with a glare: "What happened later?" ”

"Although my wife has not seen it, she also knows that there is a treasury of gold and silver buried behind the garden, which is a source of trouble. On the morning of the third day, I took Ah Xiu, my son and daughter-in-law out with my grandson in my arms, and only told my family that I was going to Wudang Mountain to Jinding and incense to my grandfather. A few of our mothers made a big detour, and only at night did we quietly hide in Huangliang Mengzhou's in-laws' house, wanting to see the wind and make plans.

"There has been no movement for half a month. I thought to myself, if this is a rich man in the former Ming Dynasty, he buried it in the chaos, and then when he died, he became the wealth of no owner. I was thinking about going back, but in the middle of the night, my housekeeper Ma Gui ran to Zhou's house in a panic. said that Monk Jin and the little novice Yu Yishi brought a hundred and ten big men, all with Shandong accents, and first said that they wanted to spend the night, and they moved their hands when they didn't agree with each other, and three of their family members had been killed by them. Please take the proposition from your in-laws.

"You also know that my in-laws are a fiery person, and when they hear it, they get angry, and when they start their family, they will go over to fight. I didn't hear it right behind the screen, so I came out. It frightened Ma Gui and said, "Old lady...... You...... Didn't you go to Hubei? "I said, 'Ma Gui, go back and tell the surnamed Jin that everyone knows that I went to Wudang, and I took the box with me. If you don't have a box, you need to die! Let him take the rest. When Ma Gui returned, the people here also went out, and they were far away in the dark ground shouting gongs and drums, and scared them away.

In this way, it didn't take half an hour for Monk Jin and Yu Yishi to get away those boxes of gold and silver, and they didn't kill anyone again. Before leaving, he lit a fire, and it rained again, but the fire did not burn. ”

Gao Shiqi also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Good guy, if you provoke such a big thing, you want to put it on others, I don't know how!" It's amazing that you didn't lose anything. Didn't you go back after that? ”

Ah Xiu said: "I said I was going back." Mom said that this home was no longer her place to live, so she gave up the house to Zhou Yuanwai. ”

Mrs. Han said, "Oh, I'm so stupid, staying at home and waiting for him to kill?" Monk Jin is not dead, and it is rare for me to live in peace in this life. Thinking that there was no way, he took the family to Hangzhou Chun and his second uncle by boat. His second uncle is a businessman, and his second sister-in-law is not tolerant in his eyes, thinking that I have lost my family property and defected to them, and I have nothing to do. I am not poor, but rich and avoid revenge, where can I bear it? bought the original plate of his second uncle's silk shop in Luomahu Town, so that his son and daughter-in-law could have a place to live. Because the girl was anxious to see the long live lord, she took her out with her, and it was like breaking into the rivers and lakes! ”

Gao Shiqi smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's also a shame that you are a wise multi-star, and you want to change to another woman's family, I don't know what to do!" You're understatement, but as far as I can imagine, it's thrilling. Xiugege, are you in a hurry to see the emperor, or are you avenging the soldiers? ”

Ah Xiu's eyes flashed and asked, "Mr. Gao, I heard that you are already a person close to the emperor, I beg you to tell the truth, where is the emperor now?" ”

"Far away, close at hand!" Gao Shiqi said, looked at the light in the upper room outside, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's trip to Fengtian this time is to worship the ancestors, but in fact, what is more important is the Mongolian prince of the conference, and the article here is big." Xiugege, with all due respect, the princes who came to the meeting this time, there are Chechen envoys, there are Geldan envoys, you have a lot of enemies, and the emperor is now going to be enveloped, you show up openly, I'm afraid it's not good! ”

Ah Xiu sneered when he heard this, and said, "There are enemies and relatives!" My uncle Öndörkhan is also coming. If the emperor really doesn't care about us, I don't want to live anymore, and I will have a lively time when we meet, I'm afraid you will regret it! ”

Gao Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "How do you know everything?" It's amazing, Öndörkhan is coming, I don't know yet! No wonder Chen Huang, this kid has no fate, you are really a fairy! ”

Seeing that he was speaking frivolously, Ah Xiu sat up straight and said, "Mr. Gao, please respect yourself, don't forget each other's identities." ”

Gao Shiqi blushed, bowed and smiled: "Yes, Gege taught a lesson!" Shiqi and Tianyi are old in the lake and sea, and as soon as they speak, they have no score. I don't know if you saw Tianyi again? ”

Han Liu saw that Ah Xiu didn't turn his face and didn't answer, so he sighed: "This is the injustice of the previous life, and people can't do it!" Take a boat from Hangzhou to Luoma Lake, but pass by Qingjiang. I saw that my daughter's face was as white as paper, and I persuaded me not to get off the boat to meet Mr. Chen. I don't know what she thinks, she shook her head with tears, but she refused. Later, in Luoma Lake, I heard that Lord Jin was involved because of the Xiao Jiadu break, and the imperial court sent a messenger to lock Lord Jin and Mr. Chen into Beijing. Ah Xiucai panicked and was anxious to go to Beijing, who thought of Beijing to know that it was a rumor...... Alas......" At this, all three of them looked gloomy. Ah Xiu held back for a long time, but tears still flowed silently. Gao Shiqi didn't have anything to say to comfort, so he took his leave. This night was lit by candlelight, and no one slept.

Kangxi slept until Chen Wei and woke up. Gao Shiqi had already come in and waited by the kang, and when he saw what Kangxi wanted to eat, he knew that his illness had been cured, so he hurriedly brought a bowl of fresh milk and let Kangxi lie on the bed and drink it. Waiting for Suo Etu and Mingzhu to invite An to go out, Gao Shiqi slowly told Kangxi about the situation of Tushetu Khan's princess A Xiu coming to the store last night, and finally said: "Please master will, how to settle this matter?" ”

Kangxi sat up with his hands propped up, "Really? Why didn't you play sooner and I knew? ”

"Master, once the emperor is in poor health, he sleeps soundly, and the slaves dare not disturb; Second, the snow doesn't stop, and I can't walk, and the slave thinks that this is not an urgent military situation......"

"Quick, pass them in!" Kangxi said as he got up, wearing a satin crown topped with a six-in-one red velvet knot on his head, and put on a lynx monkey skin coat. Gao Shiqi ordered Li Dequan to clean up the kang and the kang and the kang neatly, then listened to the voice of Ah Xiu outside the door, and said like a swallow: "Your respectful slave Tushetu Xiu, please see the master of Bogda Khan!" Then, as soon as the door curtain rang, Ah Xiu and Han Liu came in one after the other to salute.

When the people entered the house, a strange fragrance like Lan Fei Lan and Mu Fei came over, and Kangxi's eyes lit up. It turned out that Ah Xiu had taken off her flag outfit, and she looked like an authentic Mongolian girl - the green robe was inlaid with water red edges, the dark ribbon around her waist was knotted with apricot yellow tassels, decorated with a sparkling emerald gemstone, the emerald bracelet with her wrist, the autumn waves were affectionate, and Luo Shen was as gorgeous and amazing as water! Kangxi couldn't help but think to himself: "I can't imagine that there is such an outstanding beauty in the exotic border wasteland!" ”

was thinking about himself, but he heard Ah Xiu choking and crying sadly. Kangxi thought that she was a Khan Gege, her father was ruined, and she couldn't help but be sad when she was here. Just as he wanted to soothe a few words, Ah Xiu raised his tearful face, whimpered, and spoke in Mongolian language. The shrewd and capable Han Liu and the erudite Gao Shiqi suddenly became deaf. Kangxi listened intently for a long time, nodded and smiled: "Gege, please get up and speak, the old man also get up, give me a seat!" He couldn't help but look Ah Xiu up and down, his black pupils were shining with a soft light, obviously Ah Xiu's beauty made him a little embarrassed.

"Shebo Gda Khan!" Ah Xiu kowtowed and got up, and continued to say in Mongolian: "My father, Tushetu Khan, and my uncle, Öndör Khan, have trained me since childhood, the Mongols are the eagles of the steppe, and the Bogda Khan is the mountain that gathers goshawks; The endless cattle and sheep on the vast grassland are the white clouds beside the majestic Bogda Khan Mountains...... We have been under the shadow of the Great Khan of China for generations, just like the grass in spring is inseparable from the sun......" Her bright eyes looked directly at Kangxi, without any shyness, and she saw that Kangxi's face was hot for a while.

"Ah Xiu, I heard that you speak Chinese very well, so let's use Chinese. I was not well and could no longer work out. Praise is not necessary. Since I have been in the dragon and have all directions, Mongolia is the closest to my Manchus. My grandmother is Mongolian, and we are a family! ”

Ah Xiu bowed on the chair and saluted, and asked loudly: "In that case, the slave and maid dare to ask, why did Bogda Khan accept the tribute from the traitor Geldan?" My father and uncle tried their best to resist the attack of the Rakshasas in Mongolia, and their cavalry could not attack with all their strength, but Geldan colluded with the Rakshasas to plunder my homeland, why did Bogda Khan sit idly by? ”

Gao Shiqi listened and was startled, this kind of article can only be done by a talented person, who would have expected a barbarian woman to use it so handily! And just after Kangxi said "family", it was really as powerful as a slap in the face. He thought nervously and quietly looked at Kangxi's face.

Kangxi was stunned at first, paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly: "You blame well!" It's amazing! But you need to know that there are three things in the family, and you can't do them all at once. In the sixteenth year of Kangxi, you fled to Beijing, and at that time there were 2,200 Geldan envoys all over the capital, with many ears and eyes. The Ministry of Rites doesn't dare to meet you, which is understandable. You came to ask for troops, but the soldiers were all in the Xianghu area to fight a decisive battle with the remnants of Wu Sangui. Although I have the heart to help, I can't help it, but I have made you suffer such a big grievance, "I apologize here!" With that, he stood up and shook it.

Ah Xiu hurriedly squatted for three thousand blessings: "The slave doesn't dare to accept the gift of Bogda Khan!" But when will the master raise an army to restore my homeland? As long as the master still remembers us, he is willing to send troops to take revenge, and Ah Xiujiu will die for the rest of his life, and he will repay him with a grass rank, which is also willing......"

Kangxi smiled sweetly, got up and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ah Xiu. Fingers inadvertently stroked her wrist, and Ah Xiu blushed. Kangxi sat back casually and said, "Speaking of the grass ring, it's a shadowless thing." In fact, even if you don't come to ask for troops, the day of the revival of the army in the west is not far away. For your sake, I will personally lead the three armies to destroy this evil slave with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai! But what will you do? Why don't you go to Beijing with me, or live in the palace, or live outside the house, and make the same offerings as the princess, what do you think? ”

Ah Xiu lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. Girls have special sensitivities in some things. She had already seen the off-topic meaning from Kangxi's eyes, words and actions. Kangxi is dignified, slim and elegant, and outsiders look at him, and Ah Xiu are born to set up a pair. Gao Shiqi and Han Liu are all human spirits, what do you not understand? At that moment, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and hurriedly avoided each other. Ah Xiu somehow, thinking of Chen Huang, who was black, thin and capable, with bright eyes, wiped his tears with his sleeve as soon as his heart was sour.

Where did Kangxi know the twists and turns, and said with a smile: "Oh, I understand, it's this old Han mother who can't bear you, right?" It's nothing. After I went from Sun Eminem, I also lacked an entourage by my side. It's okay in Beijing, you naturally still live with Han's mother. When the old man is free, he goes to accompany Lafayette to talk about the past and the present, and relieve boredom, isn't it also good? ”

In an instant, Han Liu had already made up his mind. The emperor in front of him is not much better than the thin Chen Huang. Besides, Chen Huang himself disagreed, so he asked Ah Xiu to wait until what year and month? Ah Xiu wants to take revenge on the rich country, who can he rely on if he doesn't rely on the emperor? As soon as the emperor's words fell, she answered: "You pity the old and the poor so much. Sympathetic to others, he even called my wife speechless! …… In the first few years, my dead old man couldn't think about it, so he stretched out his legs angrily, and the land was also circled, so I fled to Zhili - Aozhongtang Bingshan Jianghai, and in a few years, I called you a pot of stewed red crabs! Wu Sangui's obscene seeds, the sword ghosts that the hell can't hold, have overturned the eleven provinces. Our small family is frightened every day and afraid every night, who wants retribution to come in just a few years! Alas, it's not my wife who is talking crazy, opening the world from Pangu, where can I find such a holy true dragon emperor? ......" she sighed with emotion, said and praised, and said that Kangxi's heart was warm and warm, and she nodded while laughing.

Gao Shiqi also smiled and said: "Xiu Gege is naturally beautiful, and he is familiar with the customs and geographical situation of the Western Regions, so it is best to follow the master!" The master doesn't know that this Han's mother is a Zhiduoxing. The master loves to pay for private visits, and there is such a thing around him, even the minions can't take care of it for a while, and they are all covered! He looked at Ah Xiu's face, there was no disgust, he knew that there was eighty or ninety percent of the matter, and said: "If the master has no other messengers, the slave and Han Liu will retreat." Xiu Gege knew a lot about the contacts between the kings of Eastern Mongolia and Geerdan, and he had to show them one by one. It's just that the master's illness is not yet fully cured, please don't be too tired......" After that, he resigned with Han Liu.
