Chapter 201 The Monarch of Western Xia
Xiang Yeqi tried very hard to endure a smile: "Then may I ask Master Hou, is he eighteen years old this year?" β
β¦β¦
"Who allowed you to ask this! Xiang Yeqi, you woman is really! β
Qiu Mingwu was suddenly provoked into a fire, and the maturity and calmness that had been maintained for several days disappeared at this moment, and he even bit the words with Xiang Yeqi very naΓ―vely: "After the birthday at the end of the year, Ben Hou will be eighteen, you, what's so funny about you?" You're not as old as Benhou, don't laugh! β
"Okay, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh, no, I didn't laugh at all, I couldn't help but laugh and endure it well!"
Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but smile, otherwise she would definitely trip over the steps, seeing Qiu Ming's face flushed with shame, she knew how to stop Qiu Ming if he made waves next time.
The judge in charge of evaluating the flower tasting conference sat in Taichung, and a wooden shed was erected behind him, and there were pots and pots of colorful strange flowers, but if you look closely, most of them are not precious varieties, but they are much rarer in places like Xixia where there are no flowers to grow at all.
"Lan Ye?" The white-clothed judge didn't even have a head, muttering in his mouth, "What's this name?" β
Xiang Yeqi didn't need to ask in detail, he knew that this was Qiu Ming's "masterpiece", but it was not easy to change, so he had to admit it: "Not bad." β
"A merchant from Huaguo? I haven't seen anyone in the flower business for years. β
The white-clothed judge sneered as if he was watching the excitement, "You're really not afraid of losing money, and you tossed a lot of flowers on the way here, right?" This transaction is bound to lose money, and it can't be supplied. You should all join in such a lively scene, and when you go back, change to some other professions as soon as possible, you have a provocative eye, but it is easy to starve to death! β
Xiang Yeqi remembered the "balance" in his small vault, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Thinking that he should give others a face, he accepted all these "high opinions" and responded twice.
Qiu Ming suddenly slapped the table, and the tea cup in front of the white-clothed judge shook, and he suddenly raised his head and scolded angrily: "What's the hurry...... Hou, Hou Ye. β
He was finally willing to show his face to the two, but he was so frightened that he looked like a plaster cast.
Qiu Ming leaned over the table slightly, and made a silent gesture: "What I told you a few days ago, do you remember it now?" β
The white-clothed judges hurriedly replied: "Remember, remember!" β
"Just remember."
Qiu Ming pushed the pot of iris to the center of the table and reminded in every way: "It's this pot, but don't make a mistake!" If anyone asks you about the residence of the owner of this irise, you can tell him directly, as long as there are suspicious characters, send a letter to the Hou Mansion in time. β
How dare the white-clothed judge take it seriously, and even took off the small silver ring he was wearing in his hand and hid it in the soil, a serious book: "Make a mark, it will be easy to identify when the time comes!" β
How did they identify it, Qiu Ming really didn't care, and he quickly got up and left with Xiang Yeqi when he calculated that the monarch of Western Xia was going to come here.
"Just tell the flower thief where I live, and he dares to come? It's not an obvious ambush for others, if I were the flower thief, how far would I run. β
Xiang Yeqi also suddenly remembered such a stubble, Qiu Ming directly chartered the entire inn to settle down for her and Bo Zhaoxu, how dare you dare to steal things here?
"Ben Hou is so stupid in your heart?" Qiu Ming seems to be still thinking about Fang Cai's matter, "Don't worry, Ben Hou will not make too much of a public announcement, both internally and externally, what Ben Hou claims is that you and the four princes live in the Hou Mansion, as for Ben Hou's friends who live in the inn, the caravan from Huaguo, you are both a foreigner, and a woman who is alone outside, if he doesn't pick you as a target, who will he choose?" β
Why is this man so unpleasant to speak! also picked her as a target, but if Qiu Ming said it more bluntly, wouldn't that be a clear expression, she Xiang Yeqi is a soft persimmon that is particularly easy to handle?
"Hou Ye is high-minded, high-minded, I can't imagine that Hou Ye is so smart."
Xiang Ye's self-deprecation and praise Qiu Ming so much is definitely out of conscience, but after all, he has more conscience things to discuss with Qiu Ming, and it is reasonable to praise him for two sentences.
"Since Hou Ye is so well prepared, then I am relieved, by the way, do you remember what I just asked? I don't hide it from Hou Ye, in fact, I am really doing some bookstore business, occasionally writing something, and I just want to expand the bookstore business, I don't know if Hou Ye is interested? Well, in the early stage, Hou Ye may have to suffer a little more, let's divide it into five or five first, and then four or six points, what do you think? β
Xiang Yeqi can even write shrewdness and calculation with a glance, how could Qiu Ming let go of the opportunity to show how generous he is in front of Xiang Yeqi, and immediately agreed: "What is this?" The dividends are exempted, and Benhou is not inferior to your dividends, but you still need to bear the principal of these transactions. β
"Okay! This is what Hou Ye personally promised, don't regret it. β
The cheerfulness of her promise was completely different from what Qiu Ming expected-what she said was good for fear that he would suffer, and what about expressing her gratitude with affection and affection?
Seeing that this person was pestled in place, Xiang Yeqi finally couldn't help but smile from the corner of his eyes, and didn't plan to tease him again: "How can I take advantage of you all at once, you still have to share it, but you don't mind much, then let's divide it into two or eight, and I'll prepare a little gift for you to show your heart." β
Qiu Ming is still a little wooden: "Also, it's okay." β
After a moment's pause, Qiu Ming began to look for a topic: "What did you write about in the past?" I have also read a little bit of the poetry collection of those girls' sad spring and autumn. β
"You'll know when the time comes."
Xiang Yeqi's footsteps gradually became brisk, and after a while, he jumped to the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and smirked to see Bo Zhaoxu's face without a trace of waves. Qiu Ming silently clenched his palms, and smiled so brightly at Yeqi, but it seemed to remind him that such a beautiful color was destined to have nothing to do with him, he couldn't catch half a point, he never caught it, and he would never have this possibility in the future.
"Nonsense again?" Bo Zhaoxu's anger was doting, "You are so tiptoeing, aren't you tired?" β
"Not tired!"
Xiang Yeqi lay down next to the window frame of the carriage and smirked, and before he could react, he was picked up by Bo Zhaoxu and put in the carriage.
Her heartbeat almost stopped, and she didn't know what tricks this man used to trick herself, so she immediately wanted to "compete" with Bo Zhaoxu.
Bo Zhaoxu's index finger rested against the corner of her lips, and the man shook his head, signaling her not to speak.
I only heard a familiar voice from outside the carriage: "The monarch is coming, and the idlers are retreating-"
Xiang Yeqi leaned on Bo Zhaoxu's collar and turned over and sat back in the soft seat, nodded very knowingly, without making a sound, only through a small gap in the curtain of the carriage to see what was happening outside the carriage.
Qiu Ming turned around in a stalemate, and his smile was not hypocritical: "I've seen the monarch." β
The monarch of the Western Xia Dynasty whom he worshipped on one knee was sitting on the chariot, his face was old and gloomy, and his crane hair hung down to his waist without restraint, which was somewhat similar to the cult leaders depicted in the book of cultivating immortals, except that there were a few strands of highlights. The monarch of Western Xia raised his thin hand and stretched out it towards Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming understood, suppressed the disgust in his heart, but could still squeeze out a smile and helped him to step down: "This flower tasting conference is common, and it is not an uncommon thing, why bother to come in person, if you really want to see this liveliness, just order them to move the venue to the palace." β
If it weren't for him, I don't know how much less I would have done today.
After the monarch of the Western Xia took a step, he still did not let go of Qiu Ming's hand, as if he wanted to rely on him to stand firm, the monarch of the Western Xia waved his hand: "The flower tasting conference, there is nothing rare, if you want to see it, you can call those ministers and set it up in the palace for ten or eight games." β
Qiu Ming echoed: "Yes, the monarch is busy here, what is the matter?" β
The line of defense in his heart was suddenly aroused by the monarch of Western Xia, neither to see the Flower Tasting Conference, but also to see what? This old thing, it must not be a good thing.
"To catch a glimpse of Fangze." The dark eyes of the Western Xia monarch suddenly flashed with a divine light, "I heard that Aiqing accompanied an old friend to participate in the excitement of this flower tasting conference, that friend - it seems to be a Chinese woman?" It is rare to hear that Aiqing has such a warm relationship with a woman, and I want to take a good look at what kind of woman she is to be good friends with Aiqing. β
Qiu Ming took a sip in his heart, if he didn't know that the monarch of Western Xia had done those pickled things, he could still turn a blind eye, pretend that the old thing was caring about himself, and do some superficial work.
But after knowing what kind of character the old thing is, he has only one opinion - the old thing has a lustful heart, and he didn't have a good heart from the beginning!
Qiu Ming looked into the distance in embarrassment: "This ...... If this is the case, the monarch can inform the minister in advance, and the minister can let her stay for a while. She heard that the caravan had some urgent matters to deal with, so she went back early. β
"So."
The monarch of Western Xia sighed in frustration, "It seems that it is too late for Lone to come, or it is because Lone has not been informed in advance, so it is not in the way, it is not in the way." β
Having said that, the monarch of Western Xia looked at the carriage on the side, as if Qiu Ming could hide some delicate children in this carriage and hide it from him.
Qiu Ming is not stupid, naturally he saw the intention of the monarch of Xixia at a glance, and deliberately reminded Bo Zhaoxu loudly: "The monarch does not have to be annoyed, the minister happened to invite the four princes of Huaguo to come here to enjoy the flowers together. β
Bo Zhaoxu cooperatively lifted the curtain of the carriage door and bowed to the king of Western Xia: "I have seen the old monarch." β
The monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom was mediocre: "There is no need to be formal, when you were young, Gu also went to China for diplomacy, and he hugged you at that time." You and Lonely, you don't have to see each other like this, Lone heard that you are going to succeed to the throne, I am really full of emotion, and when you are free, you will definitely enter the palace to talk to Lone. β
