It has reached the point where they have to calculate each other, so naturally it doesn't matter whether morality is moral or not. To be soft on the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, Qiao Ran is convinced of this. Not to mention, Princess Guan Zhenzhen's actions really got rid of her, and I don't know how many people in this Chang'an City will run to tell each other and celebrate with the whole family!

There is no need to be morally true to deal with the real princess, but in order to achieve the goal, in vain about the mountains and rivers, Qiao Ran privately thought that it was still a little too much.

Zhang Xie twisted his eyebrows slightly, moved his lips, but stopped talking.

This appearance was seen by the girl, she was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then asked Zhang Jie: "...... you Do you know who is borrowing the Wusun people to calculate the real princess? ”

Zhang Xie looked at her and said, "I know one who can do these things, and I don't like to show up to deal with Princess Zhenzhen in person and have a grudge against her." ”

Qiao Ran was about to ask him who he was, but after seeing Zhang Jie's pointed expression, he suddenly calmed down, and after a while, he said with hesitation: "You ...... Could it be Cui ...... Well, it's the Cui family who drove Princess Zhenzhen out of Chang'an first! ”

Zhang Xie glanced at her deeply and said: "After all, Cui Sikong's identity is there, and he will not put down his body at will to deal with juniors every day, so you have never seen him make a move with your own eyes, let alone been used as a pawn in his hand." ”

Qiao Ran was silent and said, "I am soft-spoken, and I don't like to provoke others casually and make enemies everywhere, so naturally I haven't done anything that will cause Cui Sikong to deal with me personally." ”

After a pause, without waiting for Zhang to open her mouth, the girl said: "But I believe that the strategy set by the same person, the game of cloth, even if the opponent is completely different, the game of cloth is also very different, but there will be some natural similarity in the usual methods." ”

As soon as these words fell, Zhang Xie glanced at her with a smile and said, "What you said is almost exactly the same as that of the Great Heavenly Master, she has seen Cui Sikong make a move, so she knows a little bit about it." When I was used as a pawn to expel Princess Zhenzhen from Chang'an, the Great Heavenly Master said that these methods seemed to be from Cui Sikong's hands, and this time she also had similar feelings about the Wusun people, and also thought that it was very likely to be Cui Sikong's means. ”

It's just that, there is no evidence in the end.

Cui Sikong never likes to leave evidence, and of course, others can't find evidence.

"However, it is impossible to let the little patriarch of Wusun come to Chang'an all the way from the Western Regions to Chang'an, and finally fall into the hands of Princess Zhenzhen, without a means and news network that is enough to control this way." Zhang explained, "Just this point, except for Cui Sikong, there are not many people who can do it. ”

But among the people who can do this, except for the Cui family who has such a big grudge against Princess Zhenzhen, others don't seem to have it.

Princess Zhenzhen's madness has always been measured, and she rarely provokes people who she really can't provoke. If Miss Xu Shi's incident hadn't been Miss Xu Shi and her face first, there would never have been anything that annoyed Mrs. Xu.

After these words, the two of them fell into silence again, and at this time, Chang'an City was a prosperous scene of Chang'an, but the surging under the prosperity of Chang'an had set off a corner at this time.

A "crackling" sound sounded, Qiao Ran followed the source of the sound to look, although standing in the courtyard there was no way to see the firecrackers being lit, but from the rosin smoke of the firecrackers, it could be vaguely recognized that Mr. Yan's house was setting off firecrackers opposite.

The noisy sound of New Year's greetings came from the opposite side of the street, and the world respected the teacher, Mr. Yan is a teacher of teaching, and the visit of students and parents is naturally indispensable during the New Year's Festival.

After the crackling sound of firecrackers subsided, Qiao Ran suddenly said, "Actually, this matter is quite tricky. ”

Mr. Yan and Second Mrs. Fang, and the reason why she originally wanted to come to the capital - the matter of the Fang family's big house. One after another, she seemed to be standing on the road with no end in sight, but in fact, there would be a dark thorn under the road at any time to make her fall.

Let's talk about the New Year first!

……

The two old doctors Feng couldn't sell the pills, so Qiao Ran naturally refused, but the matter of selling pills with Liu Chuanzhou was scheduled to be discussed after the year.

In this regard, Liu Chuanzhou said that he was very happy to find a big "backer", and Qiao Ran was also in a good mood: after all, he could rightfully observe this Liu Chuanzhou.

Although the matter of Lingnan Xinlou seems to have nothing to do with her at the moment, curiosity is really her nature, and she is really a little strange, how can Liu Chuanzhou, a person, be selected by Xinlou as a pawn.

After a while, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Pei Qingqing came back happily with a big burden. gave Qiao Ran a "ferocious" bear hug, picked up Xiaobai and threw it aside, and she began to distribute gifts to everyone.

There are meat dishes that red beans like, books that Fang Xiuting likes, Tang Zhongyuan's dagger, Qiao Shu's books, etc., as for Qiao Ran, in addition to a bag of dried fish to eat, there is also a red purse.

Qiao Ran looked at the red purse and was stunned for a moment, Pei Qingqing winked at her and made a boo motion, pulled her aside, rarely suppressed her loud voice, and whispered: "Miss Qiao, this is my father's special sweat powder, if someone chases you and wants to make it bad in the future, you just sprinkle the powder in the purse, he only needs to dip a little bit, and he will ...... immediately" Pei Qingqing said with his tongue out, rolled his eyes, and made a "faint" expression.

This gift is interesting and useful, Qiao Ran said that she liked it very much, and Pei Qingqing was extremely happy.

After all, although Miss Qiao has a very powerful brain, her hands and feet are really not very powerful, and sometimes no matter how powerful her brain is, it is useless to deal with wicked people who don't talk nonsense to you.

There is no way to do it if the hands and feet are not strong, so just prepare some "good things", and she will not worry.

As for the bag of dried fish that was fed to Xiaobai in the end, Qiao Ran would not grab food with Xiaobai for these things. What's more, throughout the New Year's Festival, Zhang Jie, who is also on annual leave, comes to the door every day, and there is an "uncle" to cook this kind of thing, and Hongdou is extremely happy.

My uncle is really talented in cooking, but he makes a lot of fish. In addition to the fact that the lady was very happy to eat, everyone wanted to vomit when they smelled the fishy smell.

Of course, this is just to think about, and it is impossible to say. If you say it, my uncle must have thrown off his hands and burdens on the spot, and did not cook for everyone, but only for the young lady.

The red bean, which is rare to be able to shake his hand once, is very wise to shut up.

After a whole New Year's Festival full of fishy smell, it was almost the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, Zhen Shiyuan set the day of her annual leave arranged by her on the day before the Lantern Festival.

By the way, Xiaobai who couldn't stop shedding hair was also kicked out. Looking at Xiaobai, who is not very old, the hair loss is too amazing, which makes everyone wonder if Xiaobai is lying about his age, but in fact, he is already the old white at the age of "hair loss".

Accompanying Qiao Ran, Pei Qingqing had no opinion, and she couldn't agree with it.

The two of them and a cat had such an incomparably idle annual vacation, and they did not forget to feed Zhen Shiyuan's little flower raised in Dali Temple in their spare time, and then squatted aside to watch the well-fed Xiaobai and Xiaohua fight.

Of course, with Pei Qingqing stretching out his hand to pull away the two cats, he couldn't tell the winner from the fight.

After the day of annual leave, the Lantern Festival has arrived. A bowl of osmanthus Lantern Festival in the early morning made Pei Qingqing very happy, and began to count the hours with her hands, waiting for the lantern festival to come in the evening.

The lantern festival in Chang'an City is very lively, Pei Qingqing, who has been in Chang'an for the Lantern Festival every year, is extremely looking forward to the lantern festival coming at night, or the first time to watch the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City, everyone in Jinling can't help but look forward to it a little more.

"The Lantern Festival also has the participation of the Yin and Yang Division, but I am not responsible for this." Zhang Jie, who came to pick up the people, said to Qiao Ran, "Although the Lantern Festival is very lively, and there are many places to play, I think you should be most interested in the Lantern Festival Lantern Array." ”

Array of lights? Countless speculations flashed in Qiao Ran's heart for a moment, and then blurted out: "Is it the kind of Qimen Dunjia?" ”

Seeing the girl's expectant look, Zhang Xie couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, it's the kind of Qimen Dunjia." ”

Of course, in the face of the people of Chang'an, it is the simplest Qimen Dunjia, as long as you are proficient in arithmetic or lucky enough, you can quickly come out of the light array.

This year's prize is more than ten palace lamps made by the craftsman supervisor Dong Dajian himself.

In previous years, these lanterns were made by Lin Niangzi, and when she thought of this name, Qiao Ran couldn't help but sigh.

But fortunately, the last Lin Niangzi still saved her life, and it is always a blessing for people to be alive.

"Dong Dajian is famous, and the folk collectors of the objects he makes are also very fond of it," Zhang Xie explained, "The reward for this palace lamp is quite good." ”

Hearing that the reward was good, Pei Qingqing swallowed her saliva, pulled Qiao Ran's sleeve, and said in a "low voice": "Miss Qiao, go win him a few lanterns and come back and sell them to buy candy...... There is also fish to eat. ”

Hongdou, who was helping Qiao Ran pick out the cloak on the side, couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she heard this: This girl has really grown, and she knows how to add fish in addition to buying sugar.

"One person has to take one, and he can't walk again." Seeing this, Zhang Xie reminded her very "kindly", "As a person in the Yin and Yang Division, I can't walk this light array, you kicked over a light wall when you walked the light array at the age of six, and you will not be allowed to enter the Lantern Festival Lantern Array in the future, have you forgotten?" ”

Pei Qingqing flattened her mouth and snorted: "It's all when I was a child, what do you always mention it for?" ”

Looking at Pei Qingqing, who was not yet ten years old, shouting "when she was a child", everyone was silent: She is not big now!

Pei Qingqing didn't see everyone's eyes, and at this time, she only looked at the group of people in front of her with a serious face: In short, except for Miss Qiao, Zhang Xie and her couldn't walk the light array. As for the others: Hongdou, Tang Zhongyuan, the Fang family, and Qiao Shu, who only knows how to read...... She thought about it, then sighed and said, "Don't go, it's very cold in the lamp array, and if you stay in it for too long, you'll have to freeze." ”

Every year, there are those who want to untie the lamp array, but they stay in it for too long and are carried out.

After thinking about it carefully, Pei Qingqing turned to Qiao Ran, the only person who might have walked out of the light array and not freeze inside, and said, "Miss Qiao, you must come out early and get me a lamp to come back." ”

The little girl's flickering big eyes were really hard to refuse, Qiao Ran smiled and touched the small ball on her head, put on a cloak, and took the stove handed by the red beans, and said "I'll do my best."

It's not that she hasn't seen the light array and is talking wildly. Although it is true that she has never seen the light array, Zhang Xie will introduce the light array to her so "sparingly", obviously thinking that she can unravel the light array and come out, then it should not be difficult for her.

Holding the stove in his hand out of the door, the streets of the Lantern Festival are crowded, very lively, there are more people in the direction of the lantern array, the crowd only moves for a long time, if everyone follows the lantern array to walk there, I am afraid that the others will not be able to play.

Yes, but as soon as it was summed up, Hongdou solemnly handed over his young lady to his uncle, and then happily went in another direction with Pei Qingqing.

Brain-like things like the lantern array are not suitable for these people, but they are suitable for people like them to play.

After splitting into two roads, Qiao Ran and Zhang Xie went in the direction of the light array.

The two of them walked and chatted all the way, probably because in view of the situation of a lot of frostbite in previous years, after all, there were many people watching the lantern array, and there were few people entering, and once the crowd that had been motionless for a long time moved, it was not too slow to walk.

It was still early when the two of them arrived at the light array, plus there were many people watching and few people trying, and when Qiao Ran entered, the number plate he received was written with a very high "nine" on it. It seems that she is the ninth to choose to enter the light array! Dong Da supervised the production of a total of ten lights, so as long as she didn't come out too slowly, the task of "getting a lamp" assigned by Pei Qingqing would definitely be completed.

Wearing a thick cold cloak, and holding a still hot stove in her hand, Qiao Ran, who was so "well prepared", was about to step into the light array when she heard Zhang Xie suddenly say "Slow".

Qiao Ran turned around, and the next moment he noticed a slight chill on his neck.

She looked down at the thing that had been around her neck—a round dial dangling beneath a fine silver chain.

This is obviously not a big Chu thing, it should be from overseas - she has only seen such similar things in Master Qiao.

However, compared with the pure overseas "pocket watches" such as Master Qiao, the dial on her body has obviously been "improved", and the dial is the common hour of Da Chu, not an overseas timekeeping method.

"The lamp array is cold, it is easy to make the cold enter the body, and it is best to come out within half an hour," Zhang Xie pointed to the scale on the dial and said to her, "Although you have good bones, you should not stay in it for too long, don't exceed an hour." When this hour has passed, I will come in and seek you. ”
