Chapter 207: A Thousand Hands

Li Ren picked up the jade pendant and explained to Rong Ruo: "Yesterday I asked someone to transcribe a copy of the autopsy file, and took it back to Beixun. This person claims that there is nothing in the sky and earth that he can't steal, and ten years ago he sneaked into the palace and stole the Nanzhu embedded in Queen Li's phoenix crown. At this time, although he knew that it was done by a thousand hands, he was never able to arrest him, so the case has survived to this day and has never been closed. ”

"Didn't anyone ask about the Zangxiang Pavilion?"

"Gonggong Mo, the young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, once went to the Tibetan Incense Pavilion to ask in person, and he was rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold. However, because of the thousands of hands, the stealing of Nanzhu disappeared invisibly, and the traces were ethereal and elusive, and the Tibetan Xiang Pavilion at that time could not find out its whereabouts. Saying that, he raised his hand and patted Rong Ruo's shoulder: "He, like the Tibetan Incense Pavilion, would not have done it if he hadn't been entrusted and paid a lot of money." ”

Hearing that someone was deliberately looking for a thousand hands to steal Rong Ruo's jade pendant, Rong Changning realized that it had nothing to do with him at this time: "The Baining Hou Mansion has more valuable things than this jade pendant, what do you want this jade pendant to do?" ”

"It's up to Ah Ruo to find the answer himself." Li Yan sat back at the desk and picked up the teacup: "In contrast, I want to know more why he appeared in Qingyuefang." ”

Bai Chuxi thought for a while and asked, "Who is the master behind Qingyue Fang?" ”

As if he had already guessed that Bai Chuxi would ask this question, he took out a paper tube the size of a little thumb from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Chuxi. Bai Chuxi took it in his hand and unfolded it, watching the pupils of the words on it gradually dilate, and asked back in surprise: "Yucheng Qibao Zhai?!" ”

"That's not all." The resentment added: "There is also the inner chamberlain Yu Shiqing." Both the general and Ah Ruo have been taking care of their surroundings lately...... And, of course, Yu'er. If someone with a heart comes to Changning, it would be bad if the people he met were not as merciful as the gang of men yesterday. ”

After saying that, he put down the teacup and got up: "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

The words of the grievance are intriguing, Bai Chuxi repeatedly thought about and recalled yesterday in his heart, as if a figure flashed in a corner that no one had noticed, quietly acting like a ghost, and ten Rong Changning was afraid that he was not an opponent of 'him'.

The lord of Liangping was seriously injured, and the Marquis of Ming Wu, who had attracted much attention because of the abolition of the crown prince, privately transferred the iron cavalry camp, but seeing that he had captured a thousand hands of the thief, the saint did not pursue it too much, and only fined him for a year with the intention of blocking the mouth of the official.

But there are still people who say: Bai Chuxi fought in Beisai, and he was accustomed to 'not being subject to foreign military orders', so he returned to the imperial city and was so unscrupulous, and he must be punished as an example.

In this way, he quarreled in the court for three days, and even pushed Bai Chuxi to the forefront by taking advantage of the abolition of the prince. The courtiers were divided into two factions, each with its own opinion.

If in the past, Rong Changning was seriously injured and bedridden, and most of those officials and relatives would have prepared generous gifts to visit in order to have a relationship with the Hou Mansion, and the worship posts might have to be stacked into a hill.

Now that these people saw Bai Chuxi caught up in right and wrong, they all pretended not to see anything, and no one was offended.

The porter sent those sparse and pitiful worship posts to Zhuyuan, and the maid placed them in front of Rong Changning, reached out and picked up the post of Baihou Mansion and took a look, and couldn't help but sneer.

Chen Ruhua, who was sitting opposite and fiddling with the embroidery tent, also glanced at it: "Your sister can also share the hardships with you." ”

"She?" Rong Changning shook his head and threw away the post in his hand: "Since she returned to the imperial city this time, I began to feel a little unclear about her, obviously she didn't do anything, but it made people feel very strange." ”

"I haven't had much contact with her, and I don't know what her personality is. I only remember that one year, Mrs. Li Jiatai had a birthday, and people held a banquet for her aunt...... A concubine ran away! But it has lost a lot of face to the Baining Hou Mansion. Princess Yonglu was really good-tempered, and she didn't give Bai Ninghou a face in front of the banquet. After going back, his father praised Princess Yonglu as a true virtuous. ”

"People in the palace said that my mother was favored by Emperor Zhao when she was young, arrogant and domineering, and she became virtuous when she met her father, I really don't know what my father deserves to be so fond of my mother."

"Don't say I have a daughter, even if my little sister marries such a person, when something like this happens, I feel trembling when I am eaten to death by any man."

Rong Changning waved his fan and said, "Although your little sister is not like a camellia, she is not easy to handle. ”

After speaking, both of them laughed, and while raising their hands to cover their mouths, Chen Ruhua glanced at the sparse greeting post on the square table, there was a particularly noble and heavy dark green, and the fine patterns on the post attracted Chen Ruhua's attention, and he threw away the embroidery tent in his hand and held it up: "Which is this post?" I don't know, I think this is a tribute to a noble person in the palace! ”

When he opened it and saw the handsome ink inside, Chen Ruhua couldn't bear to sigh: "This word is so good......

Seeing her like this, Rong Changning was also curious about whose post this was, and took it in his hand and took a look: "Yucheng Qibao Zhai...... Fuyu? ”

"Yucheng? Second Sister Rong, you often go to Yucheng, are you familiar with this Fuyu? ”

Rong Changning shook his head, lifted his plain white sleeves and looked at it carefully: "Qibaozhai is a restaurant in Yucheng, I have been there many times, but this boss has never seen it once." Uncle Liang knew him, but he hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Fuyu ......"

"Maybe I came to the imperial city to do something, General Liang asked me to visit." Chen Ruhua asked tentatively: "Do you want to see it?" ”

The wind passed through the hall, blowing the hibiscus-colored curtain and blowing the girl's heart, Rong Changning was also excited, he knew what Chen Ruhua was thinking in his heart, and he seemed absent-minded but deliberately quipped: "You want to see the person behind this post, right?" ”

"I didn't!"

"You can think clearly, it may not be Na Fuyu who writes. If you are an old acquaintance with Uncle Liang, you should be not young at that age, and you haven't seen ...... for more than ten years" Rong Changning pondered: "No matter how you count, it should be the age of your establishment, but you are only sixteen." "V3 Academy

After hearing these words, Chen Ruhua looked a little embarrassed: "I...... It's just curious! ”

Chen Ruhua, who finally found an excuse, leaned forward with the worship post: "He is not from the imperial city, how can there be such a prayer?" How do you know that the housewife of the Marquis of Mingwu Mansion has not seen a guest, and she has to hand over the post to see her? Either he came here once before, and he didn't know to hand it over until he saw Second Sister Rong. After coming so many times, there must be something important. ”

There is some truth in what he said, but when he saw the word 'Fuyu', Rong Changning couldn't help but recall that he had said that the masters hidden behind Qingyuefang, one was Yucheng Qibaozhai and the other was the chief eunuch of the inner servant, and the thief Qianshou who saw the beginning and the end died in Qingyuefang.

In any case, Rong Changning should know that this person is not simple.

So Rong Changning straightened up and leaned on the ebony three-legged Jin Yinji: "I don't know him well, I don't look like he has serious things, and I won't see him first." ”

"Then I'll see you for you?"

Rong Changning looked at the little girl in front of her, her face was full of spring, and she didn't know how she could start admiring someone who had never even heard of her name through a post.

"There is a person named Su He in the Su family in Beixun, I heard that the appearance is good, and the poems and paintings are all accomplished and written. His father also asked his uncle to find his calligraphy and paintings at home, and he spoke highly of him. I heard that the man was just standing in the courtyard studying, and the girls in the courtyard next door were all crowded into the base of the wall and stepping on the stone bench to look at it. ”

"I know the man!" Chen Ruhua rolled his eyes: "That person is probably beautiful and romantic, I heard that he doesn't know how many purse handkerchiefs he will be hit by when he goes on the street." ”

Rong Changning said with a wicked smile: "Now his backyard is still empty, if you are interested, I will inform Beixun to ask someone to check for you?" ”

Chen Ruhua immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been burned by fire, held the fan and fanned the wind fiercely, and his cheeks turned crimson: "No need." Even if you marry me, don't marry someone like that, I can't stand it if I get an aunt today and a confidant tomorrow. ”

"If it's in Beixun, I have a way to take care of you, as long as you want."

Chen Ruhua thought for a while and asked, "Actually, I've always been curious, is it because of my cousin that Second Sister Rong takes care of me like this?" ”

At the mention of Chen Ruying again, Rong Changning couldn't help but hang his head and be silent. I don't know why, Rong Changning always unconsciously associates everything in the moment with Chen Ruying.

From Chen Ruying's entry into the palace to his suicide, to Liu Huanshu's framed rebellion, to the abolition of the crown prince's rebellion...... Bai Chuxi has always believed that the abolished prince Xiao Qizhen was unjustly killed.

If you think about it this way, I am afraid that someone can use it to write a book, and someone will add fuel to the fire. If you think about it more scariably, it is not impossible for someone to plan the overall situation from the beginning.

Seeing that Rong Changning stopped talking, Chen Ruhua thought that he had said something wrong, and cautiously called: "Second Sister Rong?" ”

"Ahh Rong Changning came back to his senses: "It's nothing. ”

"It's not too early, I have to go back, and my mother will punish me for standing later."

Rong Changning nodded in response: "Okay." ”

said that he was leaving, but Chen Ruhua was still reluctant to point to the post in front of him: "Second Sister Rong, can you give me this post?" ”

"What do you want this post for?"

"I ...... I've never seen a pattern like this, and there's this word! I want to keep it. ”

Hearing this, Rong Changning smiled helplessly, waved his hand generously and said, "Take it." ”

Chen Ruhua happily hugged the post: "Then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you when I'm empty!" ”

After speaking, the person ran away without looking back, leaving only a room of spring breeze and Rong Changning as a companion. Fortunately, there are books and tea, so it is not too boring.

As soon as he turned two pages of the book, Xiao Dong ran in front of the door in a hurry, his brows furrowed together as if he was about to cry: "Mastermother!" The little boy kept crying, didn't eat milk, was hot to the touch, and his face was blue. ”

Hearing that Rong Changning hurriedly threw away the teacup, he didn't care about the injury on his waist and ran to see the child who should be sleeping, and his white shirt swayed lightly as if he was holding the wind forward.

As soon as he saw the nurse, he grabbed the child into his arms. pressed his lips to the child's forehead, and it was really hot: "Xiaodong, call the doctor." ”

"Yes."

Then Rong Chang raised his eyes violently, and his knife-like gaze hit the nurse, staring at people in a panic. The red lips opened lightly, leaving a sentence: "Go to the house, invite someone to check the food and clothing of the little boy and the nurse in recent days, as well as the used bedding and pillows." ”
