Chapter 129: The heart is like a snake and scorpion, and the mechanism is exhausted
Because of Wu Shuyuan's remarks at the dinner a few days ago, Zheng Xiaoqiao was depressed and irritable, holding a grudge, she hated Fu Lianzhao for making a bad back, and also hated Wu Shuyuan for insinuating and partially protective, she was convinced that the last banquet was just a Hongmen banquet conspired by the two, but Wu Shuyuan's words warned her that it was true, but Fu Lianzhao didn't know about it, and she had no intention of arguing with her about the high and low, but Zheng Xiaoqiao had always been vigilant, this time Wu Shuyuan pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and deliberately favored Fu Lianzhao, although it was well-intentioned, but it provoked Zheng Xiaoqiao not to distinguish between right and wrong, Resentment burns his heart, and he remembers all the resentment on Fu Lianzhao's head, which is really called:
The flowing water swims quietly, with no intention of fighting for heights.
Encountering a broken river stone, a thousand waves were stirred.
Fu Lianzhao went to the room to apologize, Zheng Xiaoqiao not only did not appreciate the affection but kicked her out of the house, Fu Lianzhao was sincerely humiliated, but he was still worried and uneasy, and went to Wu Shuyuan's room the next day and said, asking Dao to clarify the original misunderstanding, but Wu Shuyuan not only had no intention of mediating and making peace, but instead was angry and furious, scolding Zheng Xiaoqiao for being bold and bold, and was about to call for a reprimand, Fu Lianzhao hurriedly said a thousand words to stop everything, and Wu Shuyuan also felt that it was reasonable to give up.
One night, Zheng Xiaoqiao sat at the head of the bed with his eyebrows and eyes, and had no intention of falling asleep, and after a while, an old servant came in, who was close to the sixtieth year, with a rickety waist, and looked at it with a hard spirit, his face was full of wrinkles, and the left eyebrow was slightly black and conspicuous, his black and white hair was scattered, and his coarse cloth clothes were shiny and dirty.
The old servant bowed his head and stood up, afraid to approach, Zheng Xiaoqiao glanced at her and called her to him, "Raise your head and let me see." The old servant raised his head slowly in a low voice, and Zheng Xiaoqiao looked at it carefully for a long time before asking, "Is Mother Li?" The old servant hurriedly replied: "The old slave is... No, no, no, the old slave is cheap, how dare the little lady be called 'mother'..."
Zheng Xiaoqiao smiled: "Mom doesn't have to panic... How many years has my mother been in the house? The old servant should say: "Madam, the old slave has been in the house for more than seven years..."Zheng Xiaoqiao got up and asked again, "How old is my mother?" Do you have children under your knees? The old servant replied: "Mrs., the old slave is twenty out of fifty today, and there is still a son who is standing in the old age, but he has no great ability, and he is barely a man in the restaurant." Zheng Xiaoqiao nodded and smiled, "I actually know what my mother said..."The old servant was stunned when he heard this, and turned to accompany the smiling face but did not dare to take the liberty of asking.
Zheng Xiaoqiao slowly walked to the old servant after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly showed murderous aura, and he whispered with a gloomy face, "Don't hide it from my mother, your son is now in my hands..." Zheng Xiaoqiao asked her to speak quietly, and the old servant looked like he was about to cry.
Zheng Xiaoqiao said again, "Mom doesn't have to worry, Ling Lang has never provoked me, it's just that Jin Zhijin has a small matter to trouble his mother to help, if his mother is willing to agree, Ling Lang must have no worries, otherwise his life will be difficult to protect..." Zheng Xiaoqiao smiled, "Mom is a person who knows the times, and listens to Jinzhi slowly talk to her mother." Then he muttered for a long time, and the old servant was shocked and frightened when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth trembled more and more.
Zheng Xiaoqiao took a sip of tea and squinted at him and asked, "Whether Ling Lang is dead or alive depends on his mother's words... Mom, have you figured it out? The old servant shook his head and sobbed, his entangled brows seemed to be twisted into a hemp ball, "The old slave. The old slave just agreed..."Zheng Xiaoqiao raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "Don't worry, Mom, after the matter is completed, Ling Lang will not only be unscathed, but also have another heavy reward... It's getting late, so let's go back and rest. The old servant kowtowed a few times and thanked him again and again, and slowly retreated.
The next night, Zheng Xiaoqiao took advantage of Xiao Zong's time to eat and drink with all the guests on East Street to secretly call Zhu An into the room to speak, this Zhu An Zitai, Xiao Zong's loyal strategist, the last secret of the Northern Wei Dynasty was carefully arranged by him, this person is three years older than Xiao Zongxu, beautiful appearance, both civil and military, both courage and strategy, but the nature is evil, the city is very deep and difficult to speculate.
"Brother sit down and talk~" Zheng Xiaoqiao walked up to Zitai and whispered, Zitai hurriedly took two steps back, bowed down with a panicked face, and said, "Madame has anything important to do, even if you are instructed, Zitai will do her best, but..." It's just that it's getting late, and if you let the servants and maids see it, it will inevitably give birth to right and wrong behind your back. Zheng Xiaoqiao smiled, "What is my brother afraid of, I let you in, I want to see which unfathomable slave dares to make irresponsible remarks..."
"Last time, it was indeed a villain's gaffe to offend Mrs., fortunately, Mrs. Meng forgave Zitai magnanimously, otherwise if the adults knew, the villain would probably be guilty of the crime, and his head would be in a different place... Mrs. Jin summoned Zitai to come and have something important to order, although Mrs. said that the villain should sacrifice his life..."Zitai stiffened and did not dare to raise his head, Zheng Xiaoqiao saw that he was quite sincere, so he got up and said, "In this case, Jinzhi went straight to the point and said, there is something that annoys me a lot today, and I also asked my brother to help me come up with ideas." Zitai should be, Zheng Xiaoqiao told him about the troubles in his heart. Let's say why Zitai is in awe of Zheng Xiaoqiao, and he obeys his words, but there is another story inside.
Let's say that on the seventh day of the first month two months ago, it was the middle of the moon, the spring flowers were blooming, the breeze was warm, Xiao Zong was depressed because he stayed in the house, and walked to the back garden, but he saw the willow flowers and tender hair, and he didn't know where the rabbit jumped between the flowers and grass, so he was not happy, Xiao Zong came and went to chase, but the rabbit was hiding in the blink of an eye, Xiao Zong was depressed, but after a while, he was happy again, and called the little slave to say, and the little slave should stop and go to work.
In the afternoon, the sun was warm, Xiao Zong rode out of the city with all the guests and a number of guards, and went to the Nanshan wild forest to hunt, although Zitai had the best archery skills among the people, but he also knew that he could not steal the limelight from Xiao Zong, and repeatedly praised him, Xiao Zong therefore had the most prey, and his joy was overflowing.
The sun set, a dry of people hunting and returning to the city, Xiao Zongxing's head was not reduced, leaving everyone in the guest hall to drink, and instructed the house slaves to take the killed prey down to stew, stir-fried, gossip for a long time, the maid will bring the tender stewed meat and fried meat to the table, and put more than a dozen dishes, Xiao Zong is full of interest, Tongzitai and the guests drink happily, eat meat, very happy.
During the banquet, Zitai came out of Gong, and by mistake he shook in front of Zheng Xiaoqiao's room, the strange thing is that the door is wide open, and a strong fragrance of flower dew wafts out of the house, which makes people intoxicated, and Zheng Xiaoqiao is the only one in the house, squinting his eyes and soaking his feet to relieve fatigue.
Zitai was drunk, smelled the aroma and touched into the house, and looked at a stunning beauty sitting in front of him, who was uncontrollable for a while, and couldn't tell who it was, and he was about to pounce on him, who expected Zheng Xiaoqiao to be very calm, without fear, got up and picked up the footbasin and splashed it at Zitai, only to splash Zitai's face and neck full of footwater.
Zitai shook his head and looked at it again, only to recognize that the person in front of him was Zheng Xiaoqiao, he was frightened for a while, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Zitai didn't dare to stay longer, thanked him a few words and hurriedly slipped out of the door, and when he returned to the banquet, everyone asked each other why his shirt was full of water, Zitai frowned and lied that he accidentally planted it in the water tank, which only made Xiao Zong and others laugh.
There is a knife on the head of the color word, not to seal the throat when he sees blood, although Zitai escaped, but Zheng Xiaoqiao has firmly choked his throat by taking advantage of this matter, Zitai knows in his heart but has no choice but to obey his orders, come when he is called, and go when he is gone. Now Zheng Xiaoqiao happened to be in a difficult situation, Zitai seemed to have expected what she said about the difficult thing, but when she thought that she had a terrible handle in her hands, she didn't dare to say a word even if she didn't want to.
"Sure enough, the resourcefulness is outstanding! Wonderful! Brother's plan has dissipated Jinzhi's troubles, and the stuffiness in his chest has also been smoothed a lot~" Zheng Xiaoqiao smiled and praised it, but Zitai stood silent with a calm face, Zheng Xiaoqiao smiled when he saw this, "From now on, as long as my brother sincerely helps me, Jinzhi will ensure that you are safe and sound, and you will go straight to Qingyun~" Zitai seemed to be thinking about something with his head down, and after returning to his senses, he thanked him again and again, and Zheng Xiaoqiao then let him go.
How can there be a wall in the world that does not leak wind, and at the moment when Zitai stepped out of the door, a white shadow under the window flashed into the darkness.
