"They said that I gave Ah Li a few pheasants, and Ah Li would feed them personally and take good care of them. Ah Li also once said to her maidservant that she was looking forward to me going to Jiayu Mansion to repair the bridge after the Chinese New Year, so that she could cook for me and scramble the eggs laid by the pheasant for me......"

His secret guard did mention these things to him in his letters. said that Miss Qin said to Qinghe that she was looking forward to him going to Jiayu Mansion to repair the bridge, so that she could let him see how healthy and beautiful the pheasant he gave her was raised by her.

He even said that when he went to feed the pheasants every day and heard their calls, he thought it was very good.

"I sometimes dream at night, and I also dream of Ah Li, either dreaming that she is grinding medicinal powder, or dreaming that she is feeding pheasants, or playing kites." As soon as Zhao Sheng mentioned Qin Li, his eyes were full of joy.

When Shi Jinlin saw it, he was a little distressed.

Although he is no longer young, he knows that it is not wrong to like someone. How deep His Royal Highness the Third Prince's affection for Qin Li is, you can see it just by looking at the eyes of the Third Prince.

I knew in my heart that if he did the three princes a favor and let the three princes leave the imperial city and go to Jiangnan to see Qin Li. Once the emperor knew about it, he would punish him severely.

But as a master and a relative, he didn't want to see His Royal Highness the Third Prince uncomfortable. So he promised the third prince:

"Okay, Your Highness, Weichen will go home in a while, prepare the carriage, and send you out of the city to Jiangnan. An hour later, Wei Chen greeted His Royal Highness at home. ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng heard this, he immediately let go of his hand happily, "Hehe, Master, I knew that you would definitely help me." Master, it's better for you. ”

Shi Jinlin glanced at Zhao Sheng and wanted to say a few words to him, but unfortunately he was in the palace at this time, and it was difficult to say anything. He stood up and saluted:

"Wechen retired."

An hour later.

After Zhao Sheng left the palace, he took a carriage to Shifu and told Shi Jinlin what he would do after arriving at Jiayu Mansion. Listen to Shi Jinlin's advice.

The master and apprentice sat in the private room and drank tea and chatted happily. When it was almost dark, Zhao Sheng took a carriage out of the city.

Out of the city, Zhao Sheng went to a mansion on the outskirts of the imperial city to stay, and that mansion was built by his eldest brother after buying land before his death.

He was still young at the time, and he didn't understand why his eldest brother wanted to build a mansion in the suburbs, or buy land in someone else's name.

His eldest brother said, "Little brother, you don't understand this. If you live in the palace, you have to keep the rules of the palace, and if you live in the imperial city, you have to abide by too many rules. But if I asked people to build such a house in the suburbs, they didn't have to follow too many rules, and it was much easier. ”

"When I grow up, I will also come to live in your house for a while and feel it." Zhao Sheng said softly.

"Brother's house is your house, you can come and live at any time." When his eldest brother had said this, he took out two golden keys and laid them in his hand.

He'd owned the key to the door to the mansion for years, but he didn't really have much chance to live there.

Thinking about going to the land of Jiangnan for the New Year, I will stay in the mansion where my eldest brother lived before his death, and stay for one night.

That night, Zhao Sheng hardly rested, because he was lying on the soft couch, and the figure of his eldest brother could always appear in his mind. Knowing that the eldest brother could not have died of illness, he felt aggrieved for the eldest brother in his heart.

I remember that in the letter Ah Li wrote to him, she also mentioned the poison pill she had seen. He thought that as long as he lived, he had to work hard to find the murderer who assassinated his eldest brother back then.

Whoever that person is, he has to make that person pay!

After several days of running and tiring, Zhao Sheng finally arrived in Jiayu City before the twelfth day of the lunar month.

In a letter to him, one of his secret guards mentioned to him: Prince An once treated Shang Xiao and would take her out of Jiayu Mansion and return to the imperial city on the thirteenth day of the lunar month.

Hmph, he has already come to Jiayu Mansion, and he has to go out to see Prince An tonight, so that he can know how that person plans to take Shang Xiaoxiao away.

He wanted to marry Qin Li, no matter how good it was, his father didn't agree.

Prince An wants to take Shang Xiaoxiao to the imperial city, and he is still the same as before, with Shang Xiaoxiao, can the emperor allow it?

When Zhao Sheng thought of this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook up with a touch of mockery.

After leaving for a while, when Zhao Sheng came to Jiayu City again, he walked on the street and felt like going home. He didn't feel adrift at all, but felt very stable in his heart.

Whether he looked at this wine shop or that restaurant, he felt very familiar. Even if there were a few restaurants, he had never eaten at all, but he still didn't feel strange at all.

After walking a little further, you will arrive at the Qin Mansion. When he arrived at the intersection, Zhao Sheng realized that it was almost noon, and it was not good to go to Ah Li's house at this time.

I remember that before he left the Imperial City, the master had told him not to go to the Qin Mansion alone to find Qin Li. It is said that Master Qin attaches great importance to his reputation, and he is afraid that if he goes to the Qin Mansion alone, it will make Master Qin feel uncomfortable.

He thought about it and thought it was reasonable.

Just stood at the intersection for a while, looked at the gate of the Qin Mansion from a distance, and didn't see Ah Li's figure, so he left.

It was snowing lightly in Jiayu City today, and Zhao Sheng was wearing deerskin boots and stepping on the snow, making a slight sound. After a while, he looked back and saw two lines of footprints left in the snow.

I thought to myself, if I go to the vicinity of Hu Ji Pharmacy for a while, wait until Ah Li finishes work and send Ah Li home. If you accompany Ah Li all the way from the pharmacy to the Qin Mansion, you can also get along with Ah Li for a while.

However, after walking too far, he was worried that Ah Li would be tired of walking.

He was willing to carry Ah Li back to the Qin Mansion, but he was afraid that Ah Li would not. After thinking about it, I decided in my heart that I would better buy some delicious food and send it to Ali.

I heard Uncle Shi say that Ah Li goes to the pharmacy every day, accompanied by her mother. Even if he waits for Ah Li to finish work, he may not be able to get along with Ah Li alone.

It's better to buy something delicious, give Ah Li a share, give Aunt Qin a share, and let them all eat a little.

Zhao Sheng walked into a wine shop, gave some silver two shopkeepers, and asked people to arrange a private room for him, and he went upstairs to sit and eat.

Not long after I sat down, I heard a knock on the door.

Zhao Sheng guessed that after he got off the boat, he asked a few of his entourages who came with him to go to the Jiayu Inn. The person knocking on the door here must not be them.

So, who will it be?

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword and asked, "Who?" ”

"Childe ......"

This low male voice exudes a little sense of vicissitudes. After listening to it, Zhao Sheng felt a little familiar. After thinking about it, he quickly remembered that it was the voice of a good friend of his eldest brother, Di Yi.

He quickly stood up and went to open the door to the private room.

The man standing at the door, dressed in an ice blue robe and holding a small wine jar in his hand, smiled and said when he saw him: "I'm alone, I want to find someone to drink with me." This wine is good, and you have to share it with your friends and friends. ”

Zhao Sheng heard this a few years ago. But at that time, he heard Di Yi say this to his eldest brother.

"Okay, I just have food, no wine. You brought the wine, and we can talk while we drink. When Zhao Sheng spoke, he gave the man a look.

I want to say that he still remembers him and tells him to go in and eat quickly. Don't stand at the door, lest you attract attention.

The man gave Zhao Sheng a knowing look and quickly walked into the private room.
