Chapter 57: Prelude

"Fourth brother, the presiding officer of the imperial temple is here in person today, can you have time to help the imperial brother take care of one or two?" As soon as the third brother Yinzhi heard the roll call outside the door, he hurriedly greeted him, followed by the eldest brother Yinzhi.

"The third brother has something to leave? As the host, if you don't receive it in person, I'm afraid you will be disrespectful to the host? Yinzhen held the Buddha beads in his hand and replied cautiously.

Yinzhi laughed and patted Yinzhen on the shoulder, "The fourth brother is too worried." The host has always admired the fourth brother. Although this is the third brother's main meeting, it is mostly because of the convenience of the landlord who received XC Toast, and in terms of familiarity with Buddhist scriptures, the royal brother is not as good as you. ”

"In this case, it is better for the courtier to be respectful than to obey his fate."

The moment he passed by, Yinzhen's expression was as calm as water, and the eldest brother nodded politely.

Not far away, Qian Xiaoqian and Guo Xiang were dressed as small servants, carrying large bags of gifts in both hands and following behind a small sedan chair.

"Can you see that?" Touching the two fake mustaches on his mouth, Guo Xiang asked quietly.

Qian Xiaoqian looked at it solemnly and commented quite pertinently: "You can see it!" ”

Please, the face is delicate and fair, and only the two halves of the fake beard are stuck above the lips, so the fool can't see it.

"You might as well not stick ......" Qian Xiaoqian muttered, really not daring to compliment Guo Xiang's aesthetics, "Which eye can you see that you can look heroic with a beard." He pouted at the sedan chair in front of him again, "Anyway, it's Mr. Zhilan's little servant, it's normal to have no beard, right?" ”

"I'm not trying to make sure my family doesn't recognize me at a glance! He won't stare at the face of the little guy at the left and right, as long as he glances at it, he has no impression and can pass the test safely, isn't it......"

Before the words fell, the sedan chair arrived at the door. Because they had to wait at the gate for the upcoming Rehehuang Temple and a group of monks, the time was almost up. It was quite troublesome to come and go, so Yinzhen simply waited at the door.

"Mr. Zhilan has arrived."

The situation of Zhilan Courtyard is special, and the concierge is also familiar with the process, so he deliberately omitted the prefix and called Mr. Zhilan directly. Those who are familiar naturally know who it is.

Although Mr. Zhilan is not from a high background, he was also a person who often attended official scenes with the eighth elder brother in the past, because of his considerable literary talent, and he also often interacted with the third elder brother, so it is not inappropriate to attend the puja today.

"Why don't you hand over the gift yet, what kind of desertion in the back!" Zhilan smiled and said hello to the concierge of the Third Elder Brother's Mansion, and then gave a light frighten to Qian Xiaoqian and the others who were chatting and running away behind her.

Guo Xiang pulled Qian Xiaoqian and bowed down to apologize, and hurriedly handed over the gift.

It was also at this moment that the honor guard of Rehehuang Temple appeared at the corner of the street, and the reception at the door was immediately busy, and no one bothered to greet Zhilan and the others for a while.

If there is no one to lead, it is difficult to enter. I had no choice but to stand on one side and wait.

Yin Zhen walked from the side hall of the side room at this moment, and instinctively turned his head to look at Zhilan when he passed by, and his brows instantly formed an ugly knot. I had the heart to say something, but the time was really not right, so I glared at the little guy in Tsing Yi and the little hat behind Zhilan, and strode out of the door.

Swallowing his saliva hard, Qian Xiaoqian rubbed Guo Xiang beside him with his shoulder: "Recognize it?" ”

"Hmm." Guo Xiang replied weakly.

Qian Xiaoqian saw her drooping shoulders, smiled, and teased: "Didn't you say that you couldn't recognize it at a glance?" ”

"So close! Even if my beard is real, it will be suspected! He's not blind! ”

"Is it still going according to plan?"

"Naturally!" Guo Xiang replied categorically, even if he was recognized by Yinzhen, he couldn't arrest her back now. He stabilized his fake beard with his hand, and hugged his fist with Zhilan, "Thank you, Mr. Zhilan, I'll leave now." ”

Zhilan nodded, which was considered to be a coping, and turned to leave. From now on, he didn't owe her anything. The original promise was fulfilled.

In fact, he also knows in his heart that emotional matters cannot be forced. Although he himself thinks that whatever the eighth elder brother likes, he must do his best to help him get it. But Guo Xiang also took care of him for a time. Before returning to Beijing, he solemnly said that he was grateful to Guo Xiang and Eighth Elder Brother for taking care of him, and was exempted from the same treatment as other prisoners.

When he said this, he was sincere, but when Guo Xiang chose Yinzhen to give up Yinji, he really hated it.

I feel that she is watery Yanghua and plays with the feelings of the eighth master.

But after all, this is his own feeling, he understands that until now, the eighth master has never blamed her, the eighth master respects Guo Xiang's choice, and at the same time helps her as always.

Probably jealous, he stopped and looked back, and the cyan figure had disappeared at the end of the hallway.

……

has rummaged through four courtyards, Qian Xiaoqian sat on the ground and helped Guo Xiang look at the wind.

"Did you find it?" Jumping up and down in a row, it was already very cold weather, but it was also hot and sweaty in the head, wiping it with one hand, sweating with one hand.

"Nope! Damn it! This group of people doesn't carry things with them, does they!? "Putting the messed books back in their original places, Guo Xiang is also very desperate.

"Xiaoqian, did the Fourteenth Master tell you anything about the Thirteenth Elder Brother?"

Qian Xiaoqian shook his head, he wanted to pour some water from the teapot, but after thinking about it, forget it, don't let people notice it anymore, and licked his lips: "No." You should ask Yinzhen about this. This is not the place to talk, let's change places! Walk! ”

Carefully snap on the door of the room and walk all the way to an inconspicuous corner.

"There's no way to find it that way, are you really sure it's a letter?"

"I ...... Actually, I don't remember it very clearly, but the memories in my mind are all suggesting that it was a letter jointly signed by Thirteen and Big Brother, which reported the evidence of Yinren's crime. In fact, these records themselves are vague, but after thinking about it, I feel that if Yinzhen really wants to break out the big brother witch Gu incident at this moment, then Xiao Thirteen, who was imprisoned by Kangxi at the same time as the big brother, must have been found at this time. Yinzhen will never do anything to Thirteen, then only Yinji. ”

"But Zhilan said that the eighth elder brother didn't reveal any news to him!" Qian Xiaoqian still has doubts.

"This kind of thing, the fewer people who know about it, the better, maybe Yinji didn't plan to let him know......"

"Not going to let anyone know?" A hoarse and magnetic voice sounded behind Guo Xiang, and his cold face stared at her a little unkindly. Guo Xiang shook and turned around slowly, his smile was more ugly than crying. grabbed Qian Xiaoqian, who was planning to abscond quietly, and smiled at Yinzhen: "That...... How did you...... You're not hosting those lamas......"

"My Fujin escaped from the house without me, and pretended to be a servant's little servant, what do you think...... Do I still have the heart to care for others? Guo Xiang...... You're very capable......"
