Chapter 60: A Mystery Within a Mystery
The sun is rising, and it is time for the changing of the guard in front of the gate of the house.
The eight lieutenants walked out of the main gate, not glancing at their companions on duty, but shaking their heads and complaining about the breakfast that had just been eaten.
"Every morning is yellow rice porridge and sorghum cakes, a little green leaves, meat is gone, this morning finally added a pickle, but also the smell has changed, stinky and unsmelling!"
"Say no more! It smelled so bad that I was still nauseous, and I'm going to vomit if I said anything else. ”
When the eight lieutenants on the post heard this, their solemn figures suddenly paused, and they lost their expectations for the tired breakfast, so they were not in a hurry to be laid off, and simply listened to the complaints of their new companions to relieve their fatigue.
The two guards of the Xun family came to the door with a big grin, holding their heads high, looking upward, obviously, they had played enough prestige yesterday, and when they saw these captains again today, they felt that they were simply masters.
The captains of the two classes saw the "powerful" of the two yesterday, and knew that they were Zhu Qiming's acquaintances and couldn't afford to offend, so they hurriedly greeted each other with a smile.
"Two brothers, the son is having breakfast, please wait a moment." After all, the Son of Heaven's pro-army is well-trained, and under the subtle influence of thousands of households and hundreds of households, he knows very well that he wants to call Zhu Qiming "Gongzi" in front of outsiders, so everyone pays attention to this extra line and effect, and does not give orders.
The two nurses reluctantly stopped, their chins tilted higher.
"The surname of the two brothers?" The lieutenant is still close, and he does not hesitate to stick a hot face to a cold ass.
The shorter nurse opened his mouth, snorted one last time, and twisted his head to the side haughtily.
"Brother Tai is too cautious, he doesn't dare to say his name, so I'm afraid that we won't be able to eat you!" A lieutenant joked, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum.
The rural nursing home was not very guarded, and when he was provoked, he immediately left Zhu Qiming's admonition behind. "Just say it, I'm really not afraid of you eating, my surname is Shi."
The eight guards who had just left the door were dumbfounded, and four of them ran to the wall and vomited "wow".
"It's called Stowe."
The other four dumbfounded lieutenants finally couldn't help it, squatted down and vomited on the spot.
The eight lieutenants on the post thought it was very funny, and one of them began to tease Gao Yuan, "Brother Taigao's surname? ”
"The surname is Hua." Seeing that these people were very attentive, the tall nursing home put down the shelf and said lightly.
Flower? This surname is good, the surname is like this, that name must be very high!
"It's called Flower Thousand Branches."
The lieutenants looked at the bearded face of the tall nursery, and then looked at his sloppy appearance, and couldn't help but crooked their mouths and slanted eyes, and they had a great sense of indignation at the pollution of Fangyuan and the indignation of the fairy flowers.
"A literate brother told me that my name sounded like a girl's name and asked me to change my name to Oiran."
Come on, she suddenly fell from a girl from a good family to a woman in a green house! Moreover, if there is a bearded oiran in the flower building, the son and brother who go to the scene are afraid that they will vomit blood and die.
The lieutenants were very unhappy, but they had to accompany these two "guests" who didn't know the height of the sky with a perfunctory smile.
"Please, both." Niu San appeared at the right time, relieving the embarrassment of the captains.
Hua and Shi followed Niu San into the side door, turned into the verandah, and went around to the inner courtyard.
Niu San resigned, and the two of them entered the inner room from memory, and shouted in unison: "Childe." ”
Zhu Qiming raised his hand to invite the two to take a seat. A few chairs have been added to the room, so everyone doesn't have to stand.
The woman came in and served tea, and then left.
Hua Qianzhi and Shi Duo hurriedly lifted the cow drink, and when they went down in two sips, the tea in the cup was already exhausted. The two of them played with the small but delicate tea cup in their hands with great interest, looking unsatisfied.
Zhu Qiming saw that the two of them had a headache, so he didn't want to keep them longer, "That's it, people have seen it, you can go back." ”
But they had no intention of leaving. Stotor said: "No hurry. Childe, come back with us, the two of us don't have much money, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the state city for three days. ”
Zhu Qiming was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Your young lady asked you to come out to do something, and you will definitely not be stingy when you make a move, why are you called poor after only two days?" ”
"The young lady is very generous, and gave us twenty taels of silver before leaving, and the food and accommodation expenses for these two days are less than 10%." Shi Duo said with a bitter face: "The people in the city are cunning! We wandered to a place called the group of immortals last night, and said that it was okay to enjoy the dance for free, but after entering, it was not the case at all, a cup of tea and two taels of silver, and a dance cashier of ten taels, black! ”
Just listen to the three words "Qunxian Building", you know that it is a gold cave, a place where rich sons spend a lot of money, you are a country nurse, playing high consumption, it is really a lot of money and stupid, and you are full of food! Zhu Qiming thought so in his heart, but he wanted to leave some affection for the two, "You have to listen carefully next time, people only say free dancing, not free tea and music." ”
"Hey, hey, hey······" Shi Duo smiled: "Fortunately, I was smart, I didn't hesitate to point to the black single dot at that time, and a young man pointed to the red single dot, and it ended up spending a thousand taels of silver, what a fool!" ”
"People are bent on having fun." Hua Qianzhi shook her head, but she seemed a little insightful, "You have been blinded, and you are embarrassed to laugh at others!" ”
Zhu Qiming was not interested in listening to the chatter of the two anymore, so he got up and wanted to go out of the inner room, "Well, this ······ The host was waiting for me, unaccompanied. ”
His mind suddenly turned to Ni Niang for some reason, last night Ni Niang's eyes always appeared in front of him when he left, he suddenly felt that many things should be asked to Ni Niang first, and then asked Fangzheng, the two corroborates, you will understand whether Ni Niang is lying.
The buttocks of the two nurses finally left their seats, but their feet were firmly fixed on the ground. Hua Qianzhi said in an almost flattering tone: "Childe, the two of us will follow you from now on, you will live a good life in the future, don't forget the two of us." ”
Zhu Qiming was shocked, could it be that they knew their identity? If that's the case, I'm afraid Aunt Fang will have a lot of trouble!
"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Qiming is serious and authentic.
"After arriving in the state city, I finally got the hang of it, the lord and the young lady must have good intentions in treating you like this. What do you think, although the Xun family is rich, but there is only one daughter, in the future, I will choose a handsome brother to join the family, and the son is handsome, of course, he is an excellent candidate. ”
Your young lady is just a little kid, and she can say that! Besides, the dignified prince entered the Xun family? Tsk, a strange story through the ages!
"I'm still young, how can I understand this? The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, that is not a joke! Shut up, lest you ruin your young lady's reputation! Zhu Qiming said urgently.
"You still don't want to? Don't be confused, you live in Lu Erniang's house, it can be seen that your family background is very ordinary, although the relatives in the state city are rich, but after all, they are relatives, you have to think carefully, don't miss this great thing! ”
Hey, take it seriously! How did this nonsense become a great thing?
Zhu Qiming wanted to take out some silver and quickly plug the mouths of these two poor guys, but he only had a piece of broken silver given to him by Aunt Fang. It's not silver, it's a priceless treasure to cherish for a lifetime!
Fortunately, the words of the Xun family nursing home are nonsense at all, and he just thinks he is talking nonsense, and he just copes with it! "Okay, thank you for your kindness, come back quickly, there are many people here, don't stay for a long time."
The two looked at each other and smiled, squeezed their eyebrows, and walked out of the inner room, and talked at the door.
"Big brother is really discerning! This kid was born handsome, and he was placed in the whole security state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the second person with a lantern, I think there will be a drama in this matter! ”
"Brother Xian, you said that it has been three years and five years, and if I mention this matter in front of Miss, will Miss be happy?"
"Miss is young, it's hard to say if I remember this kid in a few years, but the master may not be able to wait for three or five years, you didn't see us when we went out, the master ordered that carefully, it's very rare! You said that this is not a relative, the lord cares about this kid so much, and he must regard him as the future uncle of the Xun family in his heart. ”
"With his family background, his parents must be very happy with this beautiful thing, and as for this kid, he seems to be a person who knows books and etiquette, so he naturally knows it······ What kind of truth, I am not afraid that he will regret it in the future. Little boy, don't grow ugly in the future, I still hope that one day I can ask for credit in front of the master! ”
Could it be that a casual word can give someone a handle? Zhu Qiming's heart suddenly pounded, and he wanted to chase him out and tear the mouths of those two guys.
When Zhu Qiming looked out of the door angrily, he saw three women suddenly appear beside the Xun family's nursing home.
The three girls are quite beautiful, but their bodies are stiff, their gait is sluggish, and there are few daughters on their bodies. If one person is like this, it is understandable, and all three of them are like this, which cannot help but make people suspicious.
Looking at the good face, Zhu Qiming pondered for a while, and vaguely remembered the scene of Ni Niang's. At that time, he hurriedly glanced at the three women holding musical instruments beside Ni Niang, and had a slight impression, and in retrospect at the moment, he felt that the three music girls seemed to be the three in front of him.
Looking at their dress, body shape, and demeanor, they are very different from Ni Niang, and they are obviously not from Jinyun Pavilion.
Why did they approach the Xun Family Nursing Home? Zhu Qiming was surprised, and chased after him quickly in a trance.
"The two sons stay." The three girls Chonghua Qianzhi and Shi Duo squeezed out a smile, obviously not used to the etiquette on the scene, they couldn't speak softly, their bodies were not good at soft posture, and after some twisting, they were nondescript after all.
It's all a little old man, and it's still a son, cut! Looking at the scene full of disobedience in front of him, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but pout.
However, each flower entered its own eyes, Hua Qianzhi and Shi Duo only looked back, their eyes lit up, their mouths opened slightly, their bodies were weak, and their legs could no longer move half a step.
"Did the three sisters call me?" Hua Qianzhi's tone was full of excitement that could not be concealed, and she looked at the three girls with a blank expression, as if she was afraid that others would deny it.
Younger sister? You are a father who looks old, and you are still a sister! Zhu Qiming shook his head, if it weren't for the faint worry that the two of them were unstoppable, he wanted to turn around and leave, out of sight and out of mind.
"Of course, it's called the two sons. It's rare to see a pleasing person in this ghost place, and the two sons are heroic, but they are different. Alas, I don't know who you are, and after today, can we meet again? ”
Over there, Shi Duo grinned, obviously his bones were crispy, "We are ······"
"Why are you still here?" Zhu Qiming interrupted Shi Duo's words at the right time.
At this time, Niu San hurriedly came over and shouted at the third girl, "Who let you into the inner courtyard?" Go back and stay honest! ”
The three women glanced at Zhu Qiming deeply, and just wanted to turn around and leave, but saw that the eight captains who had changed the guard happened to come here, and one of them smiled and said, "Hey, Hua Qianzhi!" Stowe! Are you going back to the inn? ”
Zhu Qiming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he had no time to blame the head of the Xun family's nursing home, and immediately looked at the three women, seeing that they were exchanging glances, he only felt that his heart was tense for a while.
Neither like the people of Jinyun Pavilion, nor like the music girl in the workshop, where did Fang Zheng find such a strange three!
