Chapter 523: I Am Here

So, does Your Majesty want her to weigh the world?

Qiao Ran fell silent and closed the brocade box expressionlessly.

She had never had such an idea before, and this kind of thing weighing the world could not be achieved overnight.

It's more important than this to live in the moment! She reached for the pocket between her sleeves and pulled something out of it.

"That's the tricky thing right now." She explained to Zhang.

There was a pure gold waist card lying quietly in the palm of the spread palm, and the four words on the waist card made Pei Qingqing, who was not impressed when he saw the gold scale, stunned for a moment.

As if I were there.

After a moment of silence in the small carriage, two sighs rang out.

"If I'm here?" Pei Qingqing was surprised, her mouth was wide open, and she looked incredulous, "Miss Qiao, isn't your brand equivalent to Shang Fang's sword?" With this sign, is there no one to stop you wherever you go? ”

"Not bad." Zhang Xie looked at Qiao Ran, who had a solemn look in her eyes, replied to Pei Qingqing for her, and then asked her again, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly give you this brand?" ”

If the gold scale is an expectation and an optimism about her future, this is not surprising. After all, she was such a dazzling girl, and she deserved His Majesty's expectations.

However, even if the golden scale is ambitious, it has no practical effect, at most it is just a town house at home. But this "such as my personal visit" brand is different, this is a brand that can really be unimpeded in Chang'an City, representing great rights. No matter how beautiful the things on Shanxi Road are this time, it seems that such brands are not given casually.

Or...... Zhang Jie's face did not have any joy, but became more and more solemn. Your Majesty may have had to give her this sign.

The girl put away the waist card that said "I am here in person" and said, "Your Majesty wants me to investigate the case." ”

It stands to reason that as long as ordinary cases are put in Dali Temple, she has the obligation to take over. But this time it was different, it was not through Zhen Shiyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, but directly assigned by His Majesty.

"What case?" Zhang Jie's eyebrows tightened

The case of giving this "such as I come in person" waist card must not be an ordinary case, and it should be very tricky.

Qiao Ran lifted the curtain and pointed to the few pedestrians passing by on the road: "This Chang'an City has become like this because of the case." ”

Everyone in Nengzhen does not dare to go out at will, especially the children of idlers with the blessing of their families, it must not be an ordinary case.

"I don't know what happened yet," Qiao Ran lowered the curtain and stopped looking out, "but Your Majesty told me that there are many people involved in the case, let me go and investigate." ”

Although the identity of the person involved in the case is not explained, the person who asked His Majesty to give this sign must not be an ordinary person.

"I didn't expect to gnaw such hard bones as soon as I returned to Beijing." Qiao Ran sighed and rubbed her eyebrows, "But fortunately, Your Majesty is not in a hurry to let me go to Dali Temple to handle the case today, and I am not in a hurry." So, I'd better go home first to rest and rest, and then go to Dali Temple tomorrow to see Lord Zhen. ”

People also need to rest! Although they sat in a carriage all the way, the carriage shook all the way, and to be honest, they were about to vomit, and the people were falling apart, how could they have any other strength?

"Tough guys like the Great Governor and General Bai have gone home to rest after seeing Your Majesty, and so are we." Qiao Ran smiled and said again, looked at Pei Qingqing, who was contemplative, and said, "When you get home, let the red beans boil the sugar water." ”

Hearing the word "sugar water", Pei Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she said "yes" loudly, and then suddenly twisted her body and secretly pulled Qiao Ran's sleeve.

Qiao Ran, who looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhang Jie, who was about to leave the car and drive ahead, were a little surprised.

The sun is coming out in the west? Pei Qingqing, this girl will also twist, embarrassed?

Pei Qingqing twisted her body and said, "Miss Qiao, your brand...... When you go to Baishenglou to buy laba porridge, can you use it without queuing! ”

Children's ideas are always wild, and at this time, they actually thought of using the sign of "Ru I am here" to fight for a chance to "skip the line"?

Qiao Ran smiled bitterly and looked at Pei Qingqing who was blinking, although the little girl was very cute, no matter how cute she was, she couldn't do it.

"If Your Majesty knows that you can use this brand to do such things, I'm afraid it will be taken back the next day." Qiao Ran rubbed her little head and explained.

Pei Qingqing was disappointed.

Zhang Xie shook his head with a smile, turned around and left the carriage to drive ahead.

The carriage shook leisurely, Pei Qingqing sat for a while, climbed into Qiao Ran's ear and whispered: "Miss Qiao, I looked at it and Zhang Jiehao, I also saw the Lord Li when you didn't come, I originally wanted to wait for you with us, but as soon as the family came, it didn't take long for them to follow." ”

Qiao Ran was not surprised by Pei Qingqing's resentment, she said: "Li Sangongzi has indeed been gone for several days, and the family should be anxious." ”

"So it's better for Zhang Xie to be a lonely person, anyway, there is nowhere else to go except for you." Pei Qingqing said seriously, "If we don't take him in, he will be too pitiful." ”

Outside, the "poor" Zhang Jie, who was pulling the reins, deviated his head.

He didn't want to hear these words, but in the same carriage, how could he say that he couldn't hear them if he didn't want to hear them?

Pathetic? Compared to Li Zhao, who was dragged away by his family today, he didn't feel so. After all, he's an "uncle"!

……

……

It has been snowing heavily in Chang'an for many days, Fang Xiuting looked at the purse, handkerchief and insoles in her hand, and took a deep breath: this heavy snow did not teach her anything else, but this embroidery has made great progress.

The latest insoles are a bit of a stance, and she thinks she can use them for herself.

"The vegetables in the market are very expensive these days, and there are still some cabbages in the cellar, so I don't go out to buy them." Hongdou, who was in control of the family's money bag, said worriedly, "Save it, Miss hasn't got her monthly salary back for the past two months!" ”

This Dali Temple has always been sent to my hands, but there is no reason to send it back directly. Hongdou is worried, how can the money in his hand only go in and out? If you can't grasp it, everyone in the family will have to drink the northwest wind.

Qiao Shu, who was sitting on the side helping to dial the charcoal basin, smiled and did not speak. They weren't very talkative people, and they didn't care about it.

took advantage of the heavy snow to close the city, nest at home, study, study, and the popularity of the schoolgirl, and it is not in vain that the past few months have been wasted.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Hongdou looked at Fang Xiuting, who was complacent about the insoles she embroidered, and said, "Your mother secretly went out again?" ”

After cleaning the yard every day, she began to tinker with the flowers and plants, and then took them to communicate with Mr. Yan diagonally opposite, and these days I became more and more familiar with Mr. Yan.

The two have already sent each other several times.

In this regard, Hongdou said that it was none of her business, but she did not forget to remind Second Mrs. Fang to be more restrained, after all, Second Master Fang was still "missing" at the moment!

Fang Xiuting rolled her eyelids and said, "How would I know?" My mother won't tell me when she goes out to see Mr. Yan! ”

The red bean who looked like this turned his face away, shook his head, got up and walked out.

Fang Xiuting watched her go out of the room, pinched the insoles in her hands, and muttered: "Mr. Yan sent flowers over, I don't seem to have seen my mother go out......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of red bean cheers outside the door.

"Uncle!"

Nun...... Uncle? Fang Xiuting and Qiao Shu were startled, and hurriedly got up and walked out.

The door opened, and there was a commotion outside, and at a glance, several familiar faces that had not been seen for months appeared in sight.

Pei Qingqing, who was bouncing, Zhang Tianshi, who was carrying luggage on the side, that is, the "uncle" in Hongdou's mouth, and Miss Qiao who was holding a brocade box.

In addition to these familiar faces that I haven't seen for a long time, there are also Mrs. Fang Er, who is holding a pot of plum with an embarrassed expression, and Mr. Yan, who looks unknown.

This is hilarious, Qiao Shu said in his heart.

It's almost as simple as you can see what is going on. Most likely, when Mrs. Fang was sending flowers to Mr. Yan, she happened to bump into Pei Qingqing and others who quietly returned to Beijing to give them a "surprise".

Right now, this surprise is probably theirs, and the fright is Second Madam Fang's.

Qiao Shu glanced at Fang Xiuting, who looked strange on the side, and stepped forward to help with the luggage.

Hongdou was happy, and probably didn't pay attention to Second Lady Fang's embarrassed expression, and happily pulled Miss Qiao and shouted, "Miss, you're back, the slave wants to kill you!" ”

Such enthusiasm made Qiao Ran a little overwhelmed although she was moved, and she patted Hongdou's shoulder with a smile and said, "If you have something to go in, it's weird and cold to stand here." ”

A sentence immediately made Hongdou obedient, and hurriedly stepped forward to help carry the luggage.

Qiao Ran turned to look at Second Mrs. Fang with a strange expression and Mr. Yan, who was dressed seriously and neatly on the side, and said with a smile: "I went out and came back, do you want to come in for a meal?" ”

This broom star...... No, Miss Qiao really never disappointed. Second Madam Fang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mr. Yan on the side.

Mr. Yan shook his head and said, "I have already asked the scholar to cook in the morning, so I won't bother today, so it's better to come to the door to ask for this meal another day." ”

Qiao Ran smiled and said hello.

She has a good memory, although her neighbors are not as familiar as Hongdou, but Mr. Yan's face is familiar, it seems to be a gentleman who teaches in the school, and the house is from the ancestors.

In Chang'an, it is naturally much better to have a house than not to have a house. Therefore, although teaching in a school is not profitable, it is not a lot of wealth, but it is not bad.

After Mr. Yan said that, he turned his head and told Second Mrs. Fang: "Your plum planting is not very good, you still have to read a few more books, read books, and learn from the experience of your predecessors." ”

Second Madam Fang hurriedly lowered her head and answered yes in a thin voice.

Seeing this, Mr. Yan turned around and left.

After Mr. Yan left, Pei Qingqing looked at Second Mrs. Fang and exclaimed, "Are you uncomfortable?" Sick? How do you seem to be weak? ”

Second Mrs. Fang's face turned red, and she said, "What do children know?" and went into the door.

Qiao Ran coughed dryly, thinking of Mr. Yan's strict manners all over his body, this kind of person is a person who loves to read, although there are occasional exceptions, but most of them like such women who are also good at reading and well-behaved.

Well, Second Lady Fang's nature seems to be a little far from such a woman! No wonder he suddenly spoke softly, and Pei Qingqing mistakenly thought that he was "uncomfortable".

Qiao Ran didn't take such a trivial matter to heart, shook her head, and stepped into the door.

The house is still like that, the yard is cleaned every day, and the few ornaments are also placed in the distance, as if they have never left.

As soon as Qiao Ran entered the house, she saw the thick stack of shoes and socks and other things, and her heart warmed.

……

Since the young lady is back, the house is also very lively. Miss went home, but couldn't make do, red beans hurriedly ran to the cellar and moved out bacon, bacon, this time can not buy fresh fish and meat, can only eat some inventory, but fortunately, the inventory can also be made delicious.

Just as Hongdou rolled up his sleeves and was about to start, Zhang Xie walked in from outside and said, "You go to boil sugar water, I'll cook, the two of them chattered all the way." ”

Hongdou's sugar water balls are doing well, and when Hongdou saw him come in, he hurriedly picked up the burden and went to make sugar water balls.

When he was only rubbing the balls, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhang Xie who was looking down and cooking.

This uncle is really good, not only good-looking, but also up to the hall, down to the kitchen, and steady, before leaving, he handed the young lady into his hands, and now he is really safe and secure.

She took a closer look today: not only is he not thin, but he is also fat, which shows her uncle's stability.

Such a good uncle, she has to keep an eye on it, don't let someone next to her snatch it, red bean belly.

Of course, she believes in her uncle's character, but how can her young lady be so good at the person she looks at? It's just that when she went to the market before, she seemed to have heard that someone had taken a fancy to her uncle, not Miss Yuan and the messy women who harassed her uncle, but everyone who looked at her aunt seriously, and there was more than one.

I heard that the ladies of the family have a good background, and they are also well-born. Of course, his aunt has such a good eye and will not look at anyone other than her young lady, he has to wait to meet her young lady in the future, and then plant himself under the young lady's tree! The red bean rubbed the balls, and said in his heart that he had become more and more proficient in the idiom he had recently used. Then what did the ladies finally have a quarrel with the family, but they still got married, and I heard that the children were born.

There's no way, her aunt is such a clean person. Red Beans are very satisfied with this.

I just don't know when these two people will be able to make a family decision, first set it early, as for getting married or something, Miss said that she is too young now, at least she has to be older, this is said by a person called science.

Although she didn't know where Miss knew this person called Science, this Science always said something annoying, this can't be eaten, that can't be eaten, and even Miss's family affairs have to be taken care of at the moment. But aren't all those young ladies married at the age of fifteen? The young lady is fourteen years old, and this family has not been decided, so she is worried about it, and Hongdou is a little sad.

Qiao Ran didn't know the little girl's sorrow, she was sitting in the hall right now, flipping through the book of words handed over by Fang Xiuting as if offering treasures.

"I bought it, they didn't like it at first, they laughed at me, and they were happier than anyone else." Fang Xiuting pursed her mouth and said, "That red bean wants me to read it to her every day, while saying that you are not like this, this is written in a book, and she is the one who listens to it the most." ”

Qiao Ran's eyes paused on the cover of the notebook, and she sighed: "It turns out that this notebook was written by that Miss Xu Shi!" ”
