Chapter 27 │ Catching Cicadas
In Xiangguo's mansion, Linghu Qingxue stayed awake all night.
She couldn't accept her father's plan, and she was even more unwilling, thinking of what she saw in Jingyuan during the day, she only felt that the relationship between Linghu Qingge and Mo Huiyin was not simple, but it was right in the middle, and there were only a few scattered ideas in the past, but they were suddenly able to connect together and make up an invisible net, and in the dark night, the smile on Linghu Qingxue's lips was a little bloody.
In this world, she was too bound by the theory of identity, and she was unwilling, so she wasted her life like this.
In the morning, Xiang Tao came to freshen up Linghu Qingxue, and found that her young lady's eyes were a little red, so she asked, "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
Linghu Qingxue didn't care and said: "It's okay, it's probably because it rained a little more last night, by the way, is there any news from the other side where I asked Zhiyin to inquire last time?" ”
"Yes, I came back last night and told me, but I didn't bother Miss when it was too late," Xiang Tao said, "She said that the Feng's Xiangfang has been no different from usual in the past two days, and the business is still good, mostly because the king of Anyang County often goes here, but she looks, there is a girl in the Xiangfang, who is soft and weak, but beautiful." ”
Linghu Qingxue was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled again, although this Zhiyin is a rough maid outside, but her mind is clever, and it was because her courtyard was full of people, so she didn't want to come to her, but fortunately, this girl can often go in and out of the house, so it is convenient to inquire about some news, but she never expected that this inquiry was far beyond her imagination.........
But if you think about it, this is also, it is rare for a noble county prince to be able to go out and buy things in person, especially in such a small Xiangfang shop, which is usually just a housekeeper or a small servant......
Now, if a county king can come down in person, if there is no inside information here, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
Linghu Qingxue thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "This is really interesting, before this eldest lady got married, she had a private relationship with the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and before the prince of the county married his wife, he was actually not clean, these two people are really all the way, but ...... You said that if the emperor knew about this kind of thing, wouldn't he be angry if he actually ordered this mandarin duck in troubled waters? ”
Xiangtao was really a little frightened when she heard this: "Miss, if the emperor knows about this, won't it implicate the entire Xiangguo Mansion?" ”
Linghu Qingxue glared at Xiangtao in the mirror and said, "You're just a fool, am I a bad brain?" If the Xiangguo Mansion is implicated, then what will happen to you and me for the rest of my life? How could I do such a stupid thing? ”
After hearing this, Xiang Tao said in a daze: "That young lady...... What do you want to do? ”
Linghu Qingxue sneered: "You don't have to ask more, anyway, there is nothing to do today, I don't need you to serve here, you go out of the house, go to the Feng Xiangfang, buy a balm, take a closer look at the girl, set the cliché, and then go by the way to see, what is the movement in the Huiyin Restaurant." ”
Peach was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "This ...... It's not a reason for me to go to someone's restaurant rashly......"
"Didn't Linghu Qingge say that their green plum cake is delicious, you go and pack a copy and come back, I want to see if their shopkeeper is sacred, the prodigal son of the rivers and lakes who does not enter the stream, can actually be hooked up with Linghu Qingge."
After listening to Linghu Qingxue's instructions, Xiangtao took the silver and lowered her head, and seemed to walk out of the yard with some hesitation, still a little apprehensive in her heart, Rao is that she has grown up with Linghu Qingxue since she was a child, but now she doesn't know what Linghu Qingxue wants to do, especially these days, she always feels that her young lady is weird, and her heart seems to be much heavier than before.........
After the afternoon, the peach had not returned.
Linghu Qingxue was a little uncontrollable, I don't know what this girl was tripped up by outside, until dusk, she still didn't come back, Linghu Qingxue was a little anxious, but there was already dinner on the side of the restaurant, so Linghu Qingxue had to walk there slowly, and halfway through, she suddenly heard someone behind her calling herself, it was the voice of Xiangtao.
Linghu Qingxue turned around and saw Xiangtao hurrying back, and immediately pulled her over and asked, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”
Xiang Tao didn't come to her senses a little and said, "Miss......... I'm like... I think I heard something amazing......"
Linghu Qingxue looked at Xiang Tao's expression was wrong, and immediately beckoned someone over and said, "You go to the food and dining hall and say that I am not feeling well, so I won't go to dinner." ”
After that, he hurriedly pulled the peach back to the yard, closed the doors and windows, sat down and asked, "What's wrong, let's hear about it." ”
Peach came one by one: "This morning, I went to the Feng Xiangfang to buy balm, I wanted to take a closer look at the girl by the way, who knows, I actually saw the prince of the county, I was afraid of being dazzled, I hid aside and looked at it for a while, the king of the county spoke softly and softly, the girl is the same, the two of them seem to have a tacit understanding, looking at the old acquaintance, the girl looks like I saw, she is really a very gentle and lovely, although not as good-looking as the eldest lady, but she is a person who is loved. ”
Before Linghu Qingxue had time to smile, he heard Xiang Tao say again: "But in the afternoon, Huiyin Restaurant is lively, the shopkeeper of the restaurant is called Mo Huiyin, who is a fairy boy, looking dashing, with a carriage, it seems that he is going to go out of the door, the door is lively, I listened attentively to the side, and listened to the little two in the store that Mo Gongzi told him to go to Loulan for a trip, and he actually mentioned the eldest lady halfway, saying that he went to Loulan this time and wanted to bring something back to the eldest lady......... He also told the little second to make some fresh plum cakes and potpourri wine every other day and hand them over to the Shenshu girl in the county king's mansion, saying that the cooks in the county king's mansion couldn't make this taste...... When I heard this, I felt that it was wrong, this Mo Gongzi also mentioned how close he was to the eldest lady, if it was better in the past, but now that the eldest lady is married, he still doesn't know how to restrain himself......"
"Is he going to leave tonight?" Linghu Qingxue suddenly asked, and Xiang Tao nodded and said, "Yes, then Mo Gongzi said that he would go to the Taoyuan Pavilion ferry first tonight, as if he had made an appointment with some friend, and he was waiting there to go together."
Linghu Qingxue listened, a smile appeared on her face, and she muttered to herself: "Then there is a good show to watch this time.........
The expression was unpredictable, Xiang Tao was a little uneasy, but she didn't know what to say, but Linghu Qingxue smiled leisurely: "What are you stunned about?" There's a good show tonight, I have to eat something first, and I'll try the plum cake..."
