Chapter 16: There are inner ghosts
"Thank you Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for showing compassion to the people of Ganzhou, and the grass people will definitely tell the people of the whole state to praise the kindness of His Majesty and the Crown Prince." Several people knelt down again and kowtowed.
It seems that things are going quite smoothly, with these people publicizing, the people of Ganzhou will inevitably come to Keats Hall, it is really effortless, Xia Yuke drank tea with some pleasure.
Song Yao didn't know much about the floods in Ganzhou, so she couldn't intervene at all, she was also very dissatisfied, this Xia Yuke was really able to speak, she was a fox spirit, she was fascinated by the prince, how could she not die, she had been in Ganzhou for so many days, and she didn't believe that she would not die.
Before he knew it, it was already dark, Xia Yuke was playful, and wanted to go out to see the night scene and see how the streets were at night, so he said hello to Feng Sui and took the picture screen out of the inn.
The streets were bustling, all kinds of people rubbing shoulders one after another, the shouts of hawkers, the cross talk of storytellers, and the singing in the attic made this Ganzhou extremely lively, and Xia Yuke's heart was also stirred.
"Where does the side concubine want to play, this Ganzhou, the slave maid has never been there." I.I.S. was also very excited.
Xia Yuke tried to recall her former preferences, she likes to eat hot pot on weekdays in modern times, and egg yolk crisp is also her favorite, Ao, and flower cakes. But there was no hot pot egg yolk crisp in ancient times.
"I'm going to have pastries, let's go buy some pastries to eat." I can only settle for the next best thing and see if there are any pastries made of flowers.
"There is a taro incense shop in front, and the side concubine can go and have a look."
"Okay, let's go check it out."
Before entering the door, he could smell the crispy smell of pastries, Xia Yuke was a little greedy, and hurriedly went in to find out.
All kinds of pastries are displayed on the table, and although the carved patterns on the pastries are not as detailed as those in the palace, they are also very delicate.
Xiao Er saw Xia Yuke's clothes and knew that he was a rich and noble family, and immediately picked up a plate of pastries and walked over to Xia Yuke: "Girl, this pear blossom cake is the treasure of our store, and it is the favorite food of the daughters of Ganzhou, girl, please try it." ”
Xia Yuke picked up a piece and was about to put it in her mouth, when a black shadow rushed over, and the pastry in her hand disappeared.
Xia Yuke was a little stunned, what was the situation.
"Come on, kick him out for me" The store manager was a little angry, and smiled at Xia Yuke: "This boy doesn't know where he came from, sometimes he will come to the store to steal the pastries we left, and today he was so hungry that he snatched the pastries in the girl's hand, the girl is not strange." ”
The boy squatted in the right corner and ate the pastry, which made people feel a little sad.
"It's okay, the manager is also a friendly person, and I also appreciate it very much, just a piece of pastry, not enough to worry about." Xia Yuke wanted to know the origin of the boy, "I want to know where the boy came from?" ”
"It can't be said that it is a boy, it should be a teenager, because he is often hungry and thin, and the small shop is not able to provide him with pastries every day. He appeared here when he was four or five years old, and no one knew where he came from, and when someone approached him, he would not respond, and everyone guessed that he might have had amnesia. ”
Although this young man looks thin, he is indeed a strong walker, and if he is cultivated well, he will be able to make materials. Xia Yuke thought of taking him back, "I see that this young man is really pitiful, and he can't bear it, and it just so happens that there is surplus food at home, so I asked him to go back with me, dare to ask the shopkeeper if it is feasible?" ”
"Yes, the girl is kind-hearted, merciful, and contemptible is also very admirable, you can take him away today."
Xia Yuke bought a lot of pastries, walked up to the young man, and handed him a small plate of pastries, as if his eyes were signaling him to eat.
The young man quickly glanced up at Xia Yuke, lowered his head and picked up the pastry and ate it.
Xia Yuke watched the young man gobble up, he must have been hungry for a long time. sighed slightly in my heart, no matter what era it is, it is unequal.
Seeing that the young man finished eating, Xia Yuke stretched out his hand to touch his head. Before she could touch her, the boy dodged and looked at her with a wary expression.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, come with me, and you can eat such delicious pastries every day." Xia Yuke patiently comforted him.
The young man looked at Xia Yuke's pure eyes, and nodded in a daze.
He saw Xia Yuke smiling, revealing a faint dimple, and his own mood improved.
Xia Yuke stood up and prepared to go back, letting the painting screen and the boy follow her.
At the door of the Huanxi Inn, I saw a tall figure standing in front of the door, it must be Feng Sui.
"Why did you only come back now, it's not that I haven't seen this night scene, why are you so positive today." Feng Sui was faintly dissatisfied, and saw a young man following behind, "Huh? And came back with a tail? ”
Xia Yuke didn't like his way of saying it very much, "What tail, he was brought back from Taro Xiangfang today, seeing that he was pitiful, I brought him back, and the concubine thought that he had some secrets, and it was not without harm to keep it." ”
"Well, if you like it, go into the house quickly, and I'll discuss it with you."
Xia Yuke instructed the painting screen to settle the young man, and then went in with Feng Sui.
Feng Sui sat on the chair with a solemn face, Xia Yuke guessed that something bad should have happened, and it seemed that it was quite difficult to do good things.
"Lone is starting to do the matter of Keats Hall, the original plan is to ask a doctor from the spring fennel pharmacy in the east of the city and bring the medicine from the pharmacy to the city Keats Hall to see a doctor for the people, I don't know why, the news came in the afternoon today, the spring fennel medicine shop sells fake medicines, and the shopkeeper was also taken away by the county government, Lone feels that the spring fennel pharmacy is trustworthy, but there is no evidence, and now it is useless." Feng Sui quietly stated this remark, but he could still feel his exhaustion.
Xia Yuke couldn't think of anything for a while, and was very distressed. What should I do as soon as the news of Khits Hall came out, Chun Wei Tang was exposed to selling fake medicines, this is too coincidental, someone must have arranged it on purpose, but how did that person know that Feng Sui was going to the Chun Wei Pharmacy to ask for a doctor?
So, there's only one reason......
There are inner ghosts.
Xia Yuke told Feng Sui his thoughts, and the latter also felt reasonable. But it's still unclear who it is, and it needs to be investigated, and we must not act rashly.
Xia Yuke and the others decided to go to the spring fennel pharmacy the next day to investigate.
At this time, Song Yao was also in her room, "Zimei, why did my father ask me about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what the Prince said today was, could it be my father's doing?" Song Yao was also worried about Feng Sui's career, and was also thinking about the Spring Fennel Pharmacy.
"Don't think crankily about the crown princess, the lord and the young lady are a family, and the family shares honor and disgrace, how can they easily do things that harm the interests of their family?" Zimei immediately took Song Yao's words, she also grew up in the Song Mansion since she was a child, and she also had some years of affection for Lord Song.
"Well, you're right, my father has loved me the most since I was a child, and if you respect my decision to let me marry the prince, then it must not be my father's doing." Song Yao recognized Zimei's words very much, so she didn't suspect her Song family.
Zimei said again: "Today, the slave maid saw that Concubine Xia brought a beggar back, which is really incredible. ”
"Oh? Beggar? It's really interesting, I didn't expect Xia Yuke to be quite good at pretending to be compassionate. Then he thought of something, "Did the prince say anything?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything, and asked Concubine Xia to discuss things with him."
"My favorite concubine brought a strange boy back, a man will be unhappy, not to mention that he is the prince, we can use this little beggar to make the prince disgusted with her." Song Yao smiled sinisterly.
On the second day,
It's already three poles in the morning, and Xia Yuke is still lying in the quilt.
The painting screen finally couldn't help but go over and call her, "Concubine Fang, you can get up, it's late, you haven't had breakfast yet, you will have lunch later." ”
The person on the couch only moved slightly, unaffected by the outside sound.
Xia Yuke was a little more conscious, but he didn't want to get up, and he didn't want to respond to the painting screen. Last night, she suddenly missed her modern home, she couldn't sleep at all, she had insomnia until late, she wanted to go home, go back to her modern home!
So Xia Yuke stayed in the quilt all the time, and no one called her to pay attention, and she was in a stalemate for a long time.
"What? Hasn't the side concubine gotten up yet? Xia Yuke slept until the afternoon of the second day, and the prince also knew.
Xia Yuke was taken aback, this voice is not Feng Sui's, why did he come to my room.
It still didn't stop her from pretending to be asleep.
Feng Sui was helpless, this woman had just promised him yesterday that he would go to the spring fennel pharmacy after lunch today, but today it was like this. Then he went over and sat down beside her.
I actually slept with my head covered by a quilt.
"Ahem, it's time for Concubine Xia to get up."
“……”
Feng Sui was a little embarrassed, it was the first time someone ignored him like this.
"That being the case, I want to open the quilt to see why I can sleep so late." Feng Sui stretched out his hand as he spoke, intending to lift the quilt.
Feng Sui must not be allowed to lift the quilt, otherwise it will not be good for him to pretend to sleep.
Xia Yuke immediately decided to sit up from the bed, and Feng Sui was about to reach out and lift her quilt.
"Hmm-" Xia Yuke sat down violently, and she felt something warm and soft touch on her lips, and her eyes widened.
Feng Sui didn't expect the two of them to kiss by mistake.
The four eyes are facing each other, and the dark waves are surging.
Xia Yuke could clearly see Feng Sui's well-defined eyelashes, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she could count them, but the reflection in her eyes was herself, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a while.
Feng Sui felt a little enjoyment, his lips were soft, and the person opposite only had himself in his eyes......
What's wrong with him, he actually wants to deepen this kiss, what the hell is this damn woman so attracted to him.
