Chapter 481: Gossip (Everyone is safe and healthy during the Dragon Boat Festival!) )

Anything else to ask?

Qiao Ran didn't ask again.

After all, they have only been on Shanxi Road for less than a day, and they have asked enough questions today. That is, she can continue to ask, Zhou Shilin will answer all questions, and so many things are enough for people to digest for a few days.

After dinner, Qiao Ran climbed into bed early, and Pei Qingqing also climbed onto the bed and sat on the bed, rarely without stealing anything, but watching her stop talking.

Qiao Ran, who looked at this picture, couldn't help but smile, and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Qingqing held her socks-on's feet and sniffed them, and then looked at her and said, "You say...... Are Zhang Jie's feet smoky? "Miss Qiao's doesn't stink, and the red beans don't stink, after all, they all slept in the same room, what about others?

Qiao Ran was stunned for a while, this question was embarrassing and funny, she couldn't help but say, "Don't listen to Zhou Shilin's nonsense." ”

Pei Qingqing sighed, rolled into the quilt, and saw Qiao Ran lying down beside her after washing, she said, "Is this the room where General Gu and Lord Zhao had an accident?" ”

Qiao Ran snorted, and heard Pei Qingqing speak again.

"Isn't that a murderous house?" She shrank and rolled into her arms like a dumpling, and said, "You send Miss Yuan back quickly, and after that Miss Yuan leaves, let's move to the North Pavilion, okay?" ”

Qiao Ran smiled and said hello, then patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, go to sleep!" ”

Pei Qingqing hummed, blinked her eyes for a long time and then spoke again.

"Miss Joe?"

In response to her soft, steady breathing.

Miss Joe fell asleep.

Pei Qingqing rolled over, was quiet for a while, and then bit her fingers and fell asleep.

……

When I woke up on the second day, it was already three poles in the morning, Qiao Ran put on her clothes and pushed the door out, and several maids were walking around the hall.

Seeing her come out, several maidservants who were wiping the tables and chairs came over, saluted her, and shouted "Master Qiao".

Qiao Ran responded, her eyes swept over several maids, and then smiled: "I didn't know you came early in the morning." ”

One of the slightly older maidservants who looked like the leader said: "Originally, I was going to come last night, but the Great Governor said not to disturb Lord Qiao's rest, so I came here today." ”

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "I have a heart."

The leading maid said again: "The water has been prepared, can Master Qiao wash?" ”

Qiao Ran nodded and said yes, turned her eyes to the brand-new hotel, and said, "It's very clean." ”

For a cleaning maid, a word "clean" is the best compliment, but this is just a matter of duty, so the maid did not be happy or had any other emotions, and began to prepare the dishes while Master Qiao returned to the house.

Today's maidservants were obviously much better than the perfunctory officers and soldiers of yesterday, and by the time they finished washing up and went downstairs, the dining table had already been set.

Pei Qingqing took the chopsticks and showed extremely enthusiastic love for the only pot of sweet and sour pork ribs on the table. The sweet and sour juice and the meaty aroma really put everything she liked together. So this is a dish invented by a genius of Tianzhong, which really makes her worship too much.

Pulling the rice with the sauce, Pei Qingqing was very happy to eat, but this happiness soon came to an end, and there was an extra green dish with chopsticks on the mountain-like pork ribs in his bowl.

"Vegetables should be eaten, too." Qiao Ran said, and unhurriedly stretched out her chopsticks to clip the steamed fish in front of her.

Pei Qingqing pursed her lips, twisted her brows and swallowed the chopsticks and vegetables, and then looked at the empty chair and the remaining half of the plate with dissatisfaction, and said, "Why didn't they come?" ”

"They have something to do." Qiao Ran paused for eating fish and said, "I want to write a book to play Your Majesty or something." ”

Pei Qingqing sighed, remembering the letter she gave Zhang Xie yesterday and didn't ask again.

When the meal was almost finished, Pei Qingqing swallowed the last chopsticks from Qiao Ran's "love", cheered, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and said, "After eating, what are we going to do now?" ”

Why?

Qiao Ran said: "Rest for a while, and then go to the prison to have a look." ”

Pei Qingqing touched her round belly and snorted twice, and said, "Because the relics of General Gu and Lord Zhao in the room have been turned over, there is nothing to turn over!" ”

She said, "Who got up early in the morning and did what they were doing?" Even if she deliberately lightened her hands and feet, she still let her hear.

Qiao Ran, who was punctured, didn't care, and only snorted lightly: "I'll just take a look." ”

Pei Qingqing rolled her eyes when she heard this, first looked around, and saw that there was no one in the main hall now, and several maids ran to the room to clean up, before jumping down from the chair, running to her side, and whispering: "I saw that you hid something." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ran sighed with emotion. Therefore, it is never easy to hide from someone under the same roof, but fortunately, this person under the same roof can be trusted.

The index finger was put to her lips and she made a shushing motion, and Qiao Ran took out a finger-sized copper medal from her sleeve pocket and put it on her hand.

This cautious move made Pei Qingqing can't help but learn, and after probing her brain, she took the seal in her hand, and couldn't help but say "Huh": "Isn't this the seal of that Yuanheng Qianzhuang?" ”

Qiao Ran snorted and said, "You take it and give it to me when you return to Chang'an." ”

Pei Qingqing looked at her, blinked, and said seriously: "This is that little guy's, it is considered criminal evidence, and it should be handed in!" ”

Although she was a little greedy, she still knew what she shouldn't take.

Qiao Ran glanced at her: "Zhou Shilin has already sent people on the road today......" Sensing that there was ambiguity in her words, she hurriedly said, "It's the way back to Chang'an, after arriving in Chang'an, this seal letter will definitely be asked sooner or later, but before that, I want to go to Yuanheng Qianzhuang to have a look." ”

It turned out that I was going to Yuanheng Qianzhuang to have a look! Pei Qingqing knew that she hadn't been there before, but she could take the opportunity to go and see it with her.

After all, such a "famous" money bank heard that it can eat people, and she is also very curious about how a money bank can eat people, and only open a mechanism to put people in? Or transform into a big youkai?

Thinking about it like this, I feel a little itchy, and I can't wait to fly back to Chang'an to have a look. So Pei Qingqing even hid this seal letter in a small purse. I didn't forget to tell Qiao Ran: "Then you do things quickly, and we can go back to Chang'an when we are done." ”

Zhou Shilin stepped into the door and saw two girls, one big and one small, with their heads together.

It's not very old, but there are a lot of secrets.

"What about whispering?" He asked casually, and when he saw the two heads raised and looked at him, he said, "I heard that you want to go to the prison to have a look?" ”

This question is naturally Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran got up with a smile, pulled Pei Qingqing as if she was ready to leave, and said, "Yes, I want to see what kind of person that Shanxi Road Mansion Yin is." ”

Zhou Shilin glanced at her, and said angrily: "What kind of person else can it be?" Two eyes, one nose and one mouth! ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the table and sat down, reaching out to pour himself a cup of tea.

Qiao Ran, who was originally about to leave, saw his move, so he also sat down again, watching the tea pour into the teacup, the heat was pouring down, and Zhou Shilin's face seemed to be a little depressed.

Seeing him pick up the teacup, Qiao Ran's eyelids jumped, and she instinctively blurted out: "Wait......"

An exclamation was accompanied by the broken teacup on the ground, and Zhou Shilin covered his mouth and gasped directly.

That's it...... Qiao Ran sighed and held her forehead: "The tea is very hot." ”

Pei Qingqing rolled her eyes and blew the tea in the teacup in front of her, it was so steaming, it was strange if it wasn't hot. This man is absent-minded!

Zhou Shilin covered his mouth, and had nothing to say for a while, so he had to sit down, thinking that he Zhou Shilin was Yingming I, and he was actually scalded by tea! But I really can't blame others, who is to blame for my absent-mindedness?

Although his mouth hurt badly, in front of the two pairs in front of him, who were looking at him and whispering from time to time, he was really embarrassed and threw his hands away.

So when the pain in his mouth was reduced slightly, he sneered and spoke: "No matter how chaotic Shanxi Road is, Fu Yin is also the biggest here." He didn't know about this Shanxi Road? How can it be? ”

The officials of Shanxi Road have no problem to have ghosts, and this doesn't need to be said by Lord Qiao, even fools can see it.

"The Grand Overseer has a point." Qiao Ran obviously agreed with this, nodded when she heard this, paused for a moment, and said, "But this bandit has been going on for many years, and this mansion has changed several waves, is there a problem with the feng shui of this Shanxi Road?" Come one, change one? ”

knew that if she didn't open her mouth, it would be difficult to deal with some problems when she opened her mouth.

So, Zhou Shilin glanced at her and said "I don't know", then got up and said, "If you want to see it, come with me and see this thorn for yourself!" ”

It's better to see than to hear, after yesterday's experience, he really felt that there was a specialization in the art industry, and this kind of thing still made her do it well.

I don't know if it's a beautiful day, driving her out, and when Qiao Ran took a cloak from the house and dressed neatly and pulled Pei Qingqing out, the snow that had been falling for a long time actually stopped, and even the sun came out.

Zhou Shilin, who was waiting outside, watched the heavy snow stop and the sun came out, and saw her holding Pei Qingqing's hand and walking out of the hall unhurriedly.

"As soon as you come, the sun is out, as if you are really welcome on this Shanxi Road!"

The girl who heard this pursed her lips and smiled, and her eyes couldn't help but bend: "I didn't think much of this place." ”

The errand on Shanxi Road is not a good errand, just like Zhou Shilin, who was inexplicably pitted, she and Zhou Shilin's original situation in Chang'an was not dangerous or eager to prove themselves, so if they choose, the two may not come.

It's just that before the holy order, as long as there is a breath, His Majesty wants them to come, I am afraid that they will be dragged to Shanxi Road.

So, if you come there, you can be safe!

Since you can only come, then solve the matter of Shanxi Road, and then you can go back to Chang'an.

Qiao Ran took a deep breath, and at this time she had already begun to miss the home in Chang'an, and she didn't know if the red beans, Tang Zhongyuan, and Qiao Shu at home were good.

……

The home is nice.

Hongdou took the sole of the shoe in his hand, glanced at the crooked handkerchief embroidered in Fang Xiuting's hand, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said, "Why are you so stupid?" What is this embroidered into? I think when I was on the Zhuangzi, I heard those subordinates boast that you are good at embroidery. ”

Fang Xiuting just snorted when she heard this, and said disapprerovitically: "Just listen to that kind of words, they are all embroidered by maids." You go and see those ten-fingered slender young ladies, if there is really such a good embroidery, how can there be no thin calluses on the fingers? ”

I've been together for so long, and I'm too lazy to pretend. Fang Xiuting simply put down the handkerchief in her hand and said, "I'm not the material for this piece, if you don't like to give a broom...... Your young lady's handkerchief is too ugly, so let me continue embroidering! ”

How can such an ugly thing be given to a young lady as a veil? Red Bean smashed a ball of wiring over with his hand.

This small ball of wiring is not painful, Fang Xiuting was smashed by this, and without even raising her head, she threw away the handkerchief in her hand, and then pulled out a book from under the pile of wires, balls, and fabrics, and then proudly turned the book in front of Hongdou, and said, "Have you read it?" This is the most popular book in the market recently, called "The Goddess of Dali Temple", I heard that it was written by Miss Xu Shi, a well-known talented woman of the Xu family, and it tells the story of a female official in Dali Temple......"

The red beans on the soles of Zhengna's shoes stopped their movements when they heard the words "Dali Temple", and at this time, after hearing Fang Xiuting's words, her face turned black, and she said angrily: "Isn't this my young lady?" ”

Fang Xiuting gave her a look of "You're not stupid" and said, "Coincidentally, the female official inside is called Zhang Ran." ”

Hongdou, who listened to this surname, trembled in his hands, and was even more angry: "She still dares to change my young lady's surname." ”

"What do you know? If it's a book, how can a real name appear? Fang Xiuting rolled her eyes, and saw that Hongdou looked like she hadn't reacted yet, and couldn't help but remind her, "The surname that Miss Xu Shi changed for your young lady is not changed casually, think about Zhang Tianshi's ......."

"It turned out to be my uncle's surname!" Hongdou, who finally reacted to the prompt here, was immediately overjoyed, "Then what is Miss Xu Shi is quite good, I know that Zhang Tianshi is the person that my young lady has a crush on." ”

"It's not enough!" Fang Xiuting flipped through the book "The Goddess of Dali Temple" and said, "There is also a heavenly master named Qiao Xie in it, so I almost didn't name and say that it was your uncle." ”

"Really?" Hongdou was also interested in her mention, and even threw aside half of the soles in his hand, and hurriedly came over to read the book "The Goddess of Dali Temple".

Zhang Ran followed...... What's behind this...... What is Dali Temple......" Hongdou had a headache when he saw it, turned to look at Fang Xiuting, and said with a straight face, "You read it to me." ”

Embroidering things is not good, planting flowers and plants is not as good as the second lady, if this Fang Xiuting can't even read to her, she really doesn't know what to do? Send it to the kitchen to start a fire?

Fang Xiuting rolled her eyes and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a male voice outside.

"Are you also reading that book "The Goddess of Dali Temple"?"

Hongdou hurriedly got up and walked to the young man who came back with the bookcase on his back, and said strangely while taking the bookcase he handed over: "Are you resting today?" Why are you coming back today? ”

Qiao Shu took off the cloak on his body, shook off the falling snow outside, and then entered the door and said: "The snow is heavy these days, and Qin Tianjian said that the snow will not stop within ten days...... Although Qin Tianjian's amorous rain and snow are not accurate, but their predictions, the court, the middle and the middle, and even His Majesty have to abide by it.

"Guozijian took a vacation, and someone in the academy proposed to go to Lishan to see the snow, but I didn't want to go, so I came back." Qiao Shu said.

Hongdou looked at Qiao Shu, who didn't care, and was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, he suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly touched the purse on his waist, and said, "Is it going to cost money?" Everybody go, what are you not going to do? Miss said, anything can be saved, but reading is something that can't be saved! ”

Qiao Shu, who looked at this anxious roar, was stunned, turned his head and rubbed his somewhat red eyes, before turning his head and saying, "I know that Miss Qiao and Sister Hongdou are good to me." It's just that this Lishan Mountain looks at the snow......"

"This kind of watching snow or something is mostly a gimmick made by those powerful children who are idle and panicked, and it is not beneficial to study." Fang Xiuting couldn't help but say on the side, "Although Guozijian is not ordinary, it is also an academy in the final analysis, and most of them are children of powerful people. He doesn't want such an elegant name, it's useless to go, it's better to come back and study his homework! ”

She knows this very well.

Her two brothers who stayed in Jinling Jiangnan Academy to study used to be like this, following the merry and talented people to go out to study, and they swam around and came back, bringing a few masterpieces, and the more powerful ones can also bring back a few beauties, achieving the so-called "merry", her two brothers go out and bring back a bunch of IOUs, and their homework has not seen any growth.

It's all a blind toss, and it's a good thing that Qiao Shu doesn't go.

"That's it!" Hongdou suddenly understood, and he wouldn't insist any longer, so he only hooked a stool, asked him to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea before he asked about his previous words and said excitedly, "Do you also know this book?" What do you think? Isn't the young lady very brave in it? ”

Qiao Shu, who asked this, laughed for a while, but still replied seriously: "This book is written by Miss Qiao, just like the main horn in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller, how can she not be brave?" ”

Hearing this, Hongdou's heart was full of joy, and he immediately clapped his hands and said: "It's rare for you to come back, add two more dishes later." ”

Because Miss Kua Qiao was brave and was added two more dishes, Qiao Shu had no preference for tongue desire, he only smiled when he heard the words, and said: "The book is very interesting, but the process of Miss Qiao's investigation is not so exciting, and it mainly writes the story between Zhang Ran and the heavenly master named Qiao Jie." ”

Fang Xiuting also interjected at the right time: "I heard that this is the first book, I stayed up late yesterday to read it, and I was writing about the confession of the female official Zhang Ran and that wooden Qiao Xie Heavenly Master. "She also wants to add vegetables, these days the broom star is not there, the red beans are about to be cut into something, she also wants to eat something good.

"Phew!" After hearing this, Hongdou was not happy, but became angry, and she hurriedly said, "It's obviously my uncle's rare young lady in our family." Also, where is my uncle? That Miss Xu Shi can't write a book, it's better for me to write it, it must be more popular than her! ”

Seeing Hongdou's eager look, Qiao Shu couldn't help but say: "This book can be spread like this, interesting is only one of them, and the more important thing is that it is Miss Xu Shi who wrote the book, she is Mrs. Xu's favorite niece, and her reputation as a talented woman among the nobles in Beijing is also one of the helps." ”

Compared with the two people in front of him who paid attention to the content of the book, as one of the witnesses who had seen Miss Qiao solve the case, Qiao Shu was actually not so interested.

He was interested in Miss Xu Shi's writing about Miss Qiao itself.
