But even if she said that, the girl just said "um", and her expression was still calm and a little scared, and there was always a feeling that the wind and rain were coming.

Xu Hexiu took a sip of tea, and listened to the girl ask again: "Then what did this real princess do to Zhang Jie?" ”

Done...... What, Xu Hexiu was silent for a moment and said, "This ...... You're going to ask for it, I don't know. After all, the door is closed......"

The door is closed? The girl let out an opportune "oh" and looked at him expressionlessly.

Realizing that there was something wrong with his words, Xu Hexiu subconsciously scratched the back of his head and explained, "I didn't mean that...... Because we don't know what's going on except for it. Moreover, I don't think she will succeed in solving it, don't worry. He didn't forget to add this sentence: Lord Qiao should be concerned about this, he should not be wrong!

After all, he has been friends for many years, and he Xu and Xiu are still very friends. So, after thinking about it, Xu Hexiu said again: "You don't have to worry about this matter, because if it weren't for Xie Zhi's intervention, she would not have been ordered by His Majesty to leave Beijing before, and she would not have come back until recently." ”

Qiao Ran snorted, although there was still no big expression, but the feeling of making people stormy suddenly disappeared.

The girl continued to ponder for a moment, and then asked again: "Your Majesty set a deadline when you left Beijing before, so you should return at this time?" ”

Xu Hexiu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either, it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the edict at that time." ”

As soon as the words fell, the girl glanced at him, and then said lightly: "If her departure from Beijing was Zhang Jie's handiwork before, and the return date was set, then Zhang Jie's shot could be regarded as a failure." Since this true princess has been offended severely, but he can't kill them all, sooner or later he will cause trouble. ”

Xu Hexiu peeled the pine nuts and nodded: "Yes, but it seems that the edict at that time did not mention that Princess Zhenzhen would return to Beijing, nor did it mention any deadline." ”

An edict that is only equivalent to being "demoted" out of Beijing and has no return date, generally speaking, is a tacit acquiescence that the person can no longer set foot in the capital. Therefore, from this point of view, Zhang Jie's shot at that time should have been successful.

But temporary success does not mean permanent success. Even if it had been successful at the time, it could have failed two years later. Because this success came from that edict, His Majesty's ideas played a crucial role in it.

Your Majesty is also a human being, and people's thoughts cannot always be the same, even if you don't like this true princess, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, some things are far more important than personal likes and dislikes.

That's the trouble! Qiao Ran sighed and asked Xu Hexiu, "This true princess has been back for a while, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Xu Hexiu peeled a pine nut and threw it into his mouth, and said, "If you solve this kind of thing, you will handle it yourself, why worry about it?" "If you can't even get a real princess, then it's not a solution.

Since Princess Zhenzhen can be "demoted" out of Beijing once, there can be a second time. Xu He cultivated his mind, and more importantly, how could this kind of thing be known to Lord Qiao, you must know that Lord Qiao is not an ordinary person for Xie Zhi, even because it is her, let alone say it.

The girl didn't hold on to Zhang Xie and Princess Zhenzhen, but just continued to look at Xu Hexiu and asked, "What about you?" It was Zhang Xie who had a holiday with Princess Zhenzhen, what are you afraid of? ”

Xu Hexiu spread his hands: "My relationship with Xie is so good, how can Princess Zhenzhen give me a good look?" "Of course, there is no need to say that she was scolded in front of Princess Zhenzhen when she was the same enemy.

In short, the real princess has been offended like that, so naturally there is no need to think about it.

Qiao Ran thought for a while and reminded him: "In this case, you can only go to the Ministry of Officials or simply go to Xie Chengze himself to borrow two things." ”

These two roads are not good roads, Xu He Xiu was silent, and said, "Master Qiao, what is your relationship with Shangshu Ranwen of the Ministry of Officials?" ”

Qiao Ran glanced at him and said, "Are you asking a little Dali Temple female official about the friendship of a ministry's secretary?" ”

It's ridiculous for these two identities to talk about it together.

Xu Hexiu touched his nose awkwardly and said, "A few of my uncles of the same clan have not served in the Ministry of Officials. "In other words, there is no one in his Xu family! How is this called him?

"Master Qiao, do you know the officials of the Ministry of Officials?" Xu Hexiu thought for a while and asked her, "It's better to be able to enter the treasury of the Ministry of Officials." ”

The girl didn't want to think about it, so she nodded and said, "Yes! ”

She actually knew! Xu Hexiu was overjoyed: "Which one?" Are you familiar with him, can you ask him for help? ”

The girl thought seriously for a while and said, "It's quite familiar, Li Zhao!" ”

It turns out that what Master Qiao said was actually him! Xu Hexiu, who heard this name, had some mixed feelings in his heart, this person was a good candidate, and the kid surnamed Li looked quite clever. Just let her go to Li Zhao...... Xu Hexiu is a spirit: Not to mention whether Master Qiao is willing or not, if Xie Zhi knows, will he beat him?

"There may not be any officials, and even if they are, they may not be all." Qiao Ran stretched out her hand and yawned, the tea in the cup was already cold, she poured herself a cup of tea and looked at Xu Hexiu, "In that case, why don't you just ask Xie Chengze to borrow it?" ”

Do you need to go around in a circle, and it's a real princess and Li Zhao or something? Not to mention that these people may not have them, and even if they do, they may not have all of them. Going directly to Xie Chengze not only will not be troubled, but also ensure that there will be no omissions in the book.

As soon as the words of clinker came out, Xu Hexiu waved his hands again and again, and hurriedly said: "If it doesn't work, it won't be successful, if it's on weekdays, it's different!" ”

This time I was urged by my mother to compare with Cheng Ze, how could I go to him to borrow books at this time?

"What's not to do?" Qiao Ran didn't care, "The book, he can read it, you can read it, why can't you ask him to borrow it?" ”

Xu Hexiu looked around, approached Qiao Ran and whispered, "I can't hide it, this New Year's promotion ......"

Qiao Ran, who looked like only he knew, was silent, and couldn't help but tell him the truth: "Actually, you really don't have to be like this, the little official who helped Master Zhen sort out the case is the one with the biggest mouth." "So most of the entire Dali Temple knows about this matter, why do you still say it so secretly?

This truth made Xu Hexiu move his lips, and secretly scolded a dirty word, and he didn't know which one to blame for Lord Zhen and the big-mouthed little official, if it wasn't for Lord Qiao to tell him, I am afraid that he would be the only one in the entire Dali Temple who was kept in the dark.

After finally adjusting his state of mind, Xu Hexiu coughed and said again: "In short, since everyone knows about this matter, Yi Chengze's meticulousness must also know, the two of us are opponents at this time, how can we open this mouth?" At that time, whether you win or not, you will be suspected of not being martial. ”

So much to consider...... Qiao Ran grabbed two pine nuts and said in a very complicated tone while peeling them: "I didn't know that your character was like this...... Uh, Gao Jie. ”

What does this reluctant tone mean? His character has always been good, okay? Xu Hexiu glared at her.

The girl didn't see this, only paused, and still didn't care too much and said: "In that case, forget it, I originally thought that if you didn't want Xie Chengze to know, we would find a way to secretly borrow it and take a look." ”

Is she actually thinking this way? Xu Hexiu looked at the girl in surprise, a hint of struggle flashed on his face, and after struggling for two sips of tea, he asked Qiao Ran: "Are you...... So what's the way to borrow it secretly and take a look? ”

If someone was sent to Chengze to steal the book, it would be unlikely. Recently, Cheng Ze was recuperating from his illness, and he didn't leave the Xie family, so he didn't choose to be in broad daylight, and chose to be in the dark and windy at night.

It's embarrassing that the books are not stolen, and those who are sent to steal the books will be arrested and put in prison. Regardless of whether she sends her or Pei Qingqing goes, it is foreseeable that there will inevitably be a lot of turmoil in Chang'an City the next day. After all, whether it is a dignified Yin and Yang Division, a heavenly master, a gentleman on the beam, or a child running to the Xie family to steal things, it is enough to make the people of the capital happy for most of the day.

The girl's expression was calm, and it was obvious that she was not ready to let Zhang Xie or Pei Qingqing do such a thing. As for who to let go, she just got up suddenly and pushed open the window on the side, then pointed to the carriage parked at the door under the window, and said to Xu Hexiu: "Isn't there a ready-made good candidate here?" ”

Xu Hexiu looked in the direction she was pointing, and the maid standing in front of the carriage in front of the teahouse downstairs seemed to be talking to the guy who greeted the guests in front of the door, and after saying a few words, he hurried into the teahouse.

Xu Hexiu was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "This is not my tenth sister's carriage...... No," he realized something in the middle of the conversation, he turned around and asked Qiao Ran in surprise, "Master Qiao, you haven't seen my tenth sister, how do you know that this is my tenth sister's carriage?" ”

From beginning to end, the two of them were drinking tea and talking here, and when they opened the window, the tenth sister was not blowing in front of the teahouse, and had already entered the door.

That is to say, from beginning to end, no matter whether Lord Qiao has seen his tenth sister in private, it is impossible to see her, so how can he know in advance that his tenth sister has come in?

Xu Hexiu was a little puzzled.

Qiao Ran didn't care, just pointed to the position where the maid next to the carriage downstairs was standing before, and said, "Isn't it the maid in your tenth sister's boudoir who just entered?" When I went to Xu's house with you before, you asked the housekeeper, but when the housekeeper said that Miss Xu Shi was not at home, he specially stopped a maid and asked. That maid is much better dressed than the maid next to your Xu family, and her demeanor is elegant, and she looks like a master who has been trained by her side. After all, people are not at home, and Miss Xu Shi had a huge fortune at that time, so she must be looking for a competent housekeeper. So, I think that the maid's eight achievements are by Miss Xu Shi's side. ”

After saying that, she raised her chin again, pointed to the coachman and the carriage, and said, "Your coachman, your carriage, plus the right-hand man next to Miss Xu Shi, who is not Miss Xu Shi?" ”

Xu Hexiu looked at her and was silent, but there was still some doubt in his tone: "Just infer from these? He admits that Master Qiao's words are reasonable, she can never forget them, so it is not strange to remember the appearance of one or two maids, but you can guess this based on these?

"Of course not." The girl yawned again, lazily closed the window, and sat down on the chair and stool in the room.

"This teahouse also made me see some very interesting places," she said lightly, "when you and I entered the door, the welcome man and the shopkeeper standing by the side were very surprised, as if it was incredible to see us, I am the first time I have come to this teahouse, so the only reason for them to show such expressions is because of you." ”

"But I don't think your reaction seems to be knowing these two, of course, this may also be your pretend, but when the guy brought dried fruit tea and snacks, you were happy and surprised to see this plate of pine nuts, and you didn't expect it at all."

"Judging from the price of tea and the decoration of the location, this teahouse belongs to the middle grade of teahouse in Chang'an City, which is the business of ordinary people, and most of the dried fruit tea and snacks sent are also suitable for this price, except for the plate of your favorite pine nuts." The girl said unhurriedly, "I've seen these other dried fruits, tea, and snacks in the lobby downstairs, but this plate of expensive pine nuts is not seen on the table at all except for us." ”

Xu Hexiu was already stunned, and was about to speak, but the girl was obviously unsatisfied, she continued: "You almost don't touch any dried fruit tea and dim sum when you drink tea in Su Ri, this time I ate half of that plate of pine nuts......"

Xu Hexiu was dumbfounded, and came back to his senses and was busy trying to interrupt her words, but the girl was still talking: "The shopkeeper and the guy obviously have good intentions, and they specially took out pine nuts for you, but after they were served, I smelled a strange smell, so I tasted a few of them, it should have been put for a long time, it seems to be bad, and you can eat so much when it's broken, obviously you really like it......"

Xu Hexiu's face changed suddenly, but before he could take tea and rinse his mouth, the curtain of the box was lifted, and the shopkeeper and the guy she had mentioned earlier were bringing in a girl wearing a fox fur with a smile on their faces.

Qiao Ran looked at the girl who walked in, just as Xu Hexiu described, this Miss Xu Shi had a round face, and two shallow whirlpools could be seen on her face with a smile.

"Miss Qiao is really amazing." The girl smiled and walked to her closer, Xu Heyuan was a little petite, and when she approached, she still needed to look up at Qiao Ran slightly, she smiled, "I've been standing outside for a while, and I'm really stunned to hear your conversation with my foolish brother." ”

is also a dignified and atmospheric famous lady, the female official Xue in front of the palace is dignified and more dignified, but the petite girl in front of her is more dignified than dignified, which makes people feel friendly at first sight.

This is a girl who is difficult to dislike at first sight, Qiao Ran has a little more smile on her face: "I have heard the name of Miss Xu Shi for a long time, and I am very happy to see you today." ”

"I'm happy too." The girl's apricot eyes were shining, she looked at Qiao Ran, and said with a smile, "I originally thought that my book was well written, but I suddenly found out that I was wrong, compared to the matter between you and Zhang Tianshi, these cases themselves are more interesting, far more interesting than my foolish brother......" Speaking of this, Xu Heyuan did not forget to glare at Xu Hexiu on the side, and then said, "It's much more interesting." ”
