Chapter 268: Dedication of Books, See Dedication of Books Again!
Xie Hong's travel speed in the small black house was much slower than Zhengde's.
Although he walked very fast by himself, and was accustomed to what he saw on the road, the little princess had to sigh everywhere she went, and of course she sighed at the various pitiful places of those ghosts.
Xie Hong is no longer surprised at this time, no matter how strange it is, as long as it takes a long time and gets used to it, he can face it calmly, well, just get used to it.
Rao is so, when it came to the exit, Xie Hong was still relieved, and a little girl said to a group of lifelike ghosts: It's so pitiful, such a scene still brought him a strong sense of disobedience after all, and even hit his self-confidence in his own craftsmanship a little.
After going out, Xie Hong looked around, he didn't see Zhengde, he didn't see Xie Qian, he was about to ask about the progress, but he heard a scream from the little princess behind him.
Of course, Yongfu's voice was not as bold as that of Scholar Xie, but it was much sharper, Xie Hong's ears were almost deafened, and he was even more taken aback, and said in his heart: Could it be that this little princess has a relatively long reflex arc, and she didn't react in it, but when the results came out, she suddenly began to be afraid?
It doesn't matter if that's the case, the most feared thing is that she keeps thinking about it afterwards, so that it will be troublesome to leave a mental scar. Xie Hong hurriedly turned around, trying to figure out what kind of symptoms Yongfu was, and whether it was better to give psychological counseling to the surname or something.
At the same time, he was not without slander in his heart, if this little princess is really like this, that strange is a bit too much, right?
It didn't matter if he turned around, but before he could see the person clearly, he felt a soft body pounce into his arms, isn't it Yongfu or what?
Xie Hong was stunned for a moment, and the feeling in his chest and abdomen told him, don't look at the little princess who is still young, but her figure is good, this feeling is real...... The crooked thought was only for a moment, and he immediately reacted, this is the Imperial City! The person in her arms is a princess!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Xie Hong tried to refuse, but the little princess hugged him tightly, and if she didn't use great force, she obviously couldn't push it away; What if you can use your strength, but you push someone down? In desperation, he had no choice but to ask the other party softly, hoping to awaken the other party's senses.
"It's terrible......" The little princess whispered.
Is it really a backlash? Xie Hong was speechless, this reflection arc is too long, right? From seeing the ghost fire to now, at least a quarter of an hour has passed, and it is really ...... to give a reaction until now, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, those ghosts are fake." Xie Hong comforted helplessly, if he is not comforted, it is not good, for him, Yongfu's refusal to let go is a big problem! There are so many people watching.
"It's not fake!" The little princess shook her head desperately, because she hugged her too tightly and the friction was relatively large, which made Xie Hong rise for a while.
"It's still moving, it's scary......"
No, could it be that the bracket was loosened and the contents were brought out? Xie Hong looked up and saw nothing, nothing on the door frame, well, if there must be a caterpillar that was arching and wriggling. But now it's summer, of course there will be caterpillars, what's so strange?
But...... Xie Hong thought about it, this little princess can't be afraid of insects, right? Not afraid of ghosts, afraid of bugs? It's really weird.
With a wave of his hand, the terrible caterpillar flew away, and Xie Hong comforted him softly again: "Your Highness, there are no more insects, you don't have to be afraid......"
"Hmm......" The little princess raised her head timidly, Xie Hong felt that the strength in her hand was also small, and she was relieved at the moment.
Frightened, he began to think about how not to leak the news, not afraid of anything else, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will know Wow! Fortunately, there are not many people outside, except for Gu Da who uses them, there are only a few palace maids around Yongfu, how can they settle those palace maids? Xie Hong's brows furrowed again.
Before he could figure out a doorway, the accident happened again.
The side door was a soft sound again, and then another person walked out inside, while going out, he was dancing with his hands, his mood was very high-pitched, seeing Xie Hong and Yongfu, this person was also stunned, and asked, "Huh?" Big brother, Yongfu, why are you two here? β
I'm just going to ask you, why are you here? You should have been out a long time ago, right? Xie Hong began to faint, and he found out that once things are related to Zhengde, they will often be beyond his control, and even many times, they will be beyond common sense.
"Second brother, why did you come out? What about Scholar Xie? Xie Hong was a little nervous, it's no problem to scare Xie Qian, if he is scared to death, it will be a big deal, he doesn't respect the old and love the young, it's just that the identity of the other party is there, and it's not fun to die a scholar.
"Oh, I've had him take home...... Don't talk about this, big brother, this little dark room is too exciting, but what I saw the same two times I went in, are there any new tricks? Zhengde shook his head, not interested in Xie Qian's affairs at all, but happily commented on Xie Hong's latest work.
"Twice...... So fast? Xie Hong was speechless, this little guy is really fast, and his speed of liking the new and hating the old is also worthy of his reputation, "There are a total of fifty kinds of ghosts, and many combinations can be made, if you are interested, second brother, you might as well go and play again, right?" β
I don't know if he saw that his brother was too shy or what, when Xie Hong talked to Zhengde, Yongfu still didn't let go, but he didn't cry, but his little face was buried in Xie Hong's arms, which made Xie Hong very embarrassed, so he planned to break up Zhengde first.
As for the future, well, maybe the second brother didn't notice what the situation was now, after all, his mind was all in the small black room, right?
"So much?" Zhengde exclaimed, then thought for a while, and said, "I only saw fifteen kinds just now, which means that there are still thirty-five kinds that I haven't seen?" Well, I'm going to have to watch it all over the next two days. But......" He changed his tone and asked narrowly, "Big brother, what are you doing with Yongfu?" Aren't you two hot? β
Embarrassment, Xie Hong found out that he had been tricked, and the expression on Zhengde's face was the same as those friends who talked about ambiguous topics in later generations, but it was ...... Ahem, second brother, you have to figure it out, this is your sister in my brother's arms, okay? Eldest brother is like a father, how much are you more mature?
"Brother Huang, Yongfu retires ......" was said by Zhengde, the little princess seemed to wake up suddenly, suddenly let go and took two steps back, first bowed to Zhengde with a red face, and then turned to Xie Hong, and said softly: "Lord Xie, Yongfu is very happy today, thank you......" The little princess's voice was like a mosquito, and she ran away without looking back.
"Your Royal Highness...... Seeing that the palace maids also caught up, Xie Hong was a little anxious, the matter of sealing the mouth had not been done yet! And what are you happy about today? Sympathy overflows with a group of zombie skeletons, and then is scared to cry by the caterpillar...... Was it a pleasant experience? The outrageous emperor's sister is really even more bizarre!
"Big brother, do you like the Yongfu type?" Zhengde suddenly said again, Xie Hong almost flashed, and Zhu Houzhao muttered loudly: "Even Yongfu you can afford it, big brother, you are so powerful, otherwise, I will go back and talk to the queen mother, marry Yongfu to you?" But in this way, you will become my brother-in-law, and this relationship seems to be a bit messy. β
You're messing up! Xie Hong wanted to cry without tears, my brother must have calculated too many people, and he was retributed, otherwise why was he so unlucky? Moreover, since the crossing, I have met two pairs of brothers and sisters, and every time I am misunderstood with my sister, why is this uncle's reaction so weird? Bah, what kind of uncle, my brother can't follow suit...... "Actually, princess, she just fell, and then just fell on me, sister-in-law, uncle!" Xie Hong began to flicker, and he had the posture of transforming into a scholar of Xie University: "Of course, this matter must be kept secret, second brother, you go back and tell them, it's best to inform Yongfu as well, hey, second brother, you listen to me and then go in......"
Turning his head in a daze, Xie Hong turned around, coughed twice, and said, "What about today......
"We didn't see anything." In the end, it was cultivated by the palace, and everyone was very professional, shaking their heads in unison, neatly and uniformly, like the honor guard of later generations.
After Xie Qian was carried away, those onlookers also followed, some went to report the news, some returned to their posts, and only the people around Zhengde were still there at this time.
"When the emperor comes out, tell him that I will go out of the palace first." At a glance, they were all familiar faces, and Xie Hong was relieved, and as soon as he explained, he was about to leave the palace. Since Xie Qian has been knocked down by Xiao Heiwu, now is the time to expand the results of the battle.
In addition, there are many things waiting for him to take care of, training is the most important, followed by the problem of the pen, Xie Hong is annoyed.
"Master Xie, the slave will send you out." Adhering to the guiding ideology of getting up from where you fall, Liu Jin cherishes every opportunity that may pat Xie Hong's ass.
Unlike several cabinet ministers, Xie Hong generally does not swagger through the Chengtian Gate, and after the construction begins, he enters and exits from the Xi'an Gate. Xi'an Gate is on the west side of Xiyuan, and there are generally no people here, and Hei Da or Jiang Bin also go in and out with him, which can ensure safety.
"Lord Xie, the villain has something to report."
There are a lot of accidents today, and the usual sparsely populated Xi'an Gate is close to the left, but suddenly a person jumped out to show up, and without saying a word, he fell to the ground and screamed loudly. Xie Hong was slightly stunned, listening to this person's sharp voice, and then looking at the color of the clothes, he was a eunuch with no grade.
"What are you, dare to stand in the way of Master Xie, don't you want to live? Come on, give him to our family. Xie Hong was still looking at the person who came, and Liu Jin on the side saw the person who came clearly, but he was suddenly discolored, pointing his fingers and shouting.
"Wait." Xie Hong stretched out his hand to stop and asked the guards around him to stop, although he didn't know who this was, but looking at Liu Jin's face, he seemed to know him, and Liu Jin had such a big reaction, maybe he was a key person.
The enemy of the enemy may be his own people, so Xie Hong asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?" β
"Villain Xie Sang'er ......," the man said as he kowtowed.
When Xie Hong heard this, he was happy, today is really an evil family, and he met another family.
ββ¦β¦ The villain was forced into the palace last year. Before entering the palace, everyone called the villain the third and second brothers, and after entering the palace, everyone called the villain the third brother...... "The eunuch poured out his history of blood and tears with a handful of snot and tears.
Xie Hong also secretly felt sad for him when he heard it, from the third and second brothers to the junior sons, this gap is indeed a bit big, these people are too unsophisticated, how can they call the third father-in-law.
"You said you were forced into the palace? But as far as this official knows, there is no such system in the palace at present, right? β
Except for children, eunuchs are generally really voluntary, and most of them can't survive outside, so they enter the palace to beg for a living. Xie Hong looks at this junior, well, the third father-in-law is in his thirties, obviously this is a bit untrue. Originally, I wasn't handsome, and I was a lot older, so why did I have to arrest you to castrate?
Therefore, Xie Hong's tone was also a little harsh, this guy was clearly here to sell cuteness and pretend to be pitiful, but brother is not Yongfu, and he will not sympathize with the casual flood.
"Just because the villain dedicated a book, and then ......" The eyes of the third father-in-law were flickering, and he glanced at Liu Jin with a winch, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, "...... was castrated by Father-in-law Liu, and the villain was wronged! The villain really doesn't want to enter the palace, it's forced. β
Wow, Xie Hong was really surprised, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Jin, he was a little puzzled, didn't he hear that this dead eunuch still has this hobby? Engage in word hell? Or do you like to catch middle-aged people to castrate and play? The dead eunuch is really perverted.
However, listening to the narrative of the third father-in-law, the time when he entered the palace seems to be just right with the time when he opened Houdefang last year and opened the book commentary, could it be that this person is still the secret weapon left by Liu Jin?
"I am deeply sympathetic to your plight, but ...... So far, the official can't help it. Xie Hong spread his hands and said that he had no choice. Entering the palace as a eunuch is an irreversible process, not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations with the development of medicine, there is no way to do anything about this fait accompli.
"Adult, the villain is not here to complain, the villain is here to offer books."
Of course, this third father-in-law is the Xie Sanger who dedicated the book to Liu Jin, but was castrated because of the title of the book.
Originally, Liu Jin planned to keep him and use him as a secret weapon against Xie Hong, but Xie Hong's update was too fast, and the storytelling quickly became outdated, so the secret weapon was useless, and Liu Jin simply sent him away and left him to fend for himself.
But the third father-in-law did not give up on himself, he has been waiting for an opportunity. When he saw Xie Hong in the past few days, he knew that the other party was Lord Xie, the plague god who was in the capital, and he realized that the opportunity had come! That's why we have the current scene.
"Oh, dedicate a book?" Even Xie Hong couldn't help but admire the persistence of the third father-in-law, who was castrated, and never forgot to dedicate books, this spirit is worthy of emulation by many people.
"Exactly, my lord, please look at ......" The third father-in-law took two steps on his knees and took out a stack of books from his arms, thick, Xie Hong glanced at them, I am afraid that there are no dozens.
"Cute Niang's tomb robbery notes?" took a look at it, just glanced at the cover, Xie Hong's eyes were a little straight, the title of this book is too strange, right? Meng Niang, no wonder you were castrated by a dead eunuch, didn't you point at the monk and scold the bald man?
"Exactly, my lord, these days, the villain has seen it nearby......" The third father-in-law hurriedly explained.
It turned out that as soon as Xie Hong's construction started, he observed nearby, although he didn't go in, but those ghost things were all sent in outside, what the little black house was doing, he could more or less guess some, so there was the book Xie Hong saw.
"The writing is still good, and the speed of the code word is also very fast...... "The construction period of the small black house is very short, but it is only a few days, but the book in his hand has tens of thousands of words, Xie Hong feels that it is still quite convincing, but ...... "Mother chats about Zhai, Meng Xiyou...... "I rub, why is this person so weird?" All books have such a name.,The content written in it is almost the same.,It's all a story of a man and a group of women or female ghosts.γFemale goblins.,Wouldn't this product also come back in time? Otherwise, how could there be such a quirk.
Xie Hong groaned, he just needed a pen, the conditions of the person in front of him were not bad, but this quirk was a bit bad, he looked okay, but the people outside definitely couldn't accept it, isn't Xiao San'er's little brother proof?
"Adult, if you don't like it, the villain can change it, the villain lives by words, is full-time, and will be dominated by the reader's taste." Seeing that he didn't speak, the third father-in-law was anxious, he didn't want to go back to his previous life, it was so miserable to be a cow and a horse.
"Okay, Gonggong Liu, you go back and inform the emperor, I will take this person to Houdefang." Xie Hong pondered, the left and right also need a pen, and it is impossible for a serious reader to take refuge in himself, and this will be the end of the situation in front of him. Besides, this is also a double win, in addition to getting the pen, it can also be regarded as saving the middle-aged.
Putting aside these trivial matters and concentrating on military training is the right thing to do.
