175 The Man in the Shadows
Yunhe replied, "The descendants of the Xie family only shoveled the snow on the road, but no one cared about this Merlin, thinking that it was to be kept for the masters to enjoy."
It's just that the second girl Xie came to fold the flowers, and she accidentally fell a big fall, and her head was broken, so the king of the county ordered us to shovel the snow."
Qiu Xiyin felt a little strange, if it was normal for Xie Jiameng to fall down, but Xie Jianing
Yunhe said diligently, "It's better to accompany the girl to fold flowers, but the small one can climb the tree, and the girl fancy which small one will definitely be folded for the girl."
Qiu Xiyin glanced at him and nodded, because it involved pothos, she didn't bring pothos this time, Xiujin was sent by her to take care of Lan Nineteen again, only one Huizhong was left, but he didn't know how to punch and kick, and it was quite inconvenient to fold flowers, so it was good to have this Yunhe beside her.
Yun Feng came over with a shovel when he heard this, "Third girl Qiu, I will also accompany you to fold flowers, and I will give you a vase."
As he spoke, he threw the shovel, and the splitter snatched the vase from Huizhong's hand.
Qiu Xiyin, "Let's come together."
Huizhong glared at Yun Feng viciously, Yun Feng smiled, squeezed her away, and followed Qiu Xiyin, "Qiu San girl, you go this way, it was Yun He who followed the county king this morning, just now Yun He asked me to shovel snow together, I saw the county king from a distance, and the county king's face was dark."
Of course, the county king's face is black every day, but today it is even darker, the county king is over there just now, girl, don't bump into it."
Qiu Xiyin, ""
How the hell do you tell the difference between a black face and an extraordinarily black face?
Yun Feng was ordered to help Feng Zhinan send a letter to Qiu Xiyin, and felt that his friendship with Qiu Xiyin was very unusual, and said, "I just saw the girl's white cousin come to fold flowers, hugged the full arms, and said that he would rush to the capital to give it to the princess."
Qiu Xiyin couldn't help but answer, "It's better for him to make plum blossoms into plum blossom cakes and send them again."
"I won't talk to him" Yun Feng said earnestly, "Third girl, you can have a snack, although they are all relatives, but relatives are also close and far, and the girl's white cousin doesn't look like a good person at first glance."
Qiu Xiyin, ""
You're embarrassed to ask someone else to have a snack
Several people walked all the way and folded all the way, and soon folded it, Yunfeng said diligently, "Girl, I'll send you to the house."
He said and kicked Yunhe, "You go back and shovel the snow, if the king of the county finds out that you are lazy, you will die."
"No need," Qiu Xiyin took a vase from his hand and hugged it personally, and motioned to Huizhong to get another one, "Don't miss the errand, Huizhong, reward."
Huizhong took out two plain purses, and Yun Feng happily took them, "If the third girl Qiu still folds flowers tomorrow, remember to call me."
Qiu Xiyin smiled and nodded, hugged the vase and left, not wanting to go to the door of Qilu Pavilion, but just ran into Ning Shenzhi who came from the other side.
Almost simultaneously, they each took a step back and bowed.
After the ceremony, the two of them didn't speak for a while, Qiu Xiyin nodded at him, and was about to bypass him into the Qilu Pavilion, when Ning Shenzhi said, "Chonghua hasn't woken up yet, why don't I bring the flowers in for you."
Qiu Xiyin hesitated for a moment, and motioned to Huizhong to hand over the vase to Ning Shenzhi, "Then it will bother the county king."
Ning Shenzhi glanced at the vase she was holding in her hand, Chonghua likes gorgeous and eye-catching things, obviously the one in her arms is for Chonghua, and took a step back, "Qiu San girl is polite."
Ning Shenzhi's outstretched hands were full of small, healed wounds, Qiu Xiyin's eyes flashed slightly, nodded, turned around and went to the wing where Xie Jiashu temporarily lived, the two passed by, Ning Shenzhi's low and slightly hoarse voice came, "Be careful Xie Jianing."
Qiu Xiyin stopped in astonishment, but Ning Shenzhi didn't seem to say anything, and entered the Qilu Pavilion without stopping.
Qiu Xiyin stood in place for a while, holding the vase to find Xie Jiashu.
As soon as the sound of the maid who opened the curtain sounded, Xie Jiamian hurriedly greeted her, stretched out her hand to take the vase in her arms, "It's cold, and there is snow on the road, why don't you ask the maid to hold it."
Qiu Xiyin smiled and saluted, "On such a cold day, Cousin Ninth came so early, it's really hard."
Xie Jiamian's expression was much calmer than that of Zhi Laba, and he said with a smile, "I am on a salary, so I don't dare to be lazy."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and entered the room side by side, Xie Jiashu was leaning on the bed with a book and watching, and smiled at her when he saw her coming, "Yinyin."
Qiu Xiyin stepped forward to take away his book and said angrily, "It's not that you said, you are not allowed to read books, it hurts your mind."
"It was Brother Jiu who was reading to me just now, and I just picked it up."
Xie Jiamian smiled to corroborate, "Indeed, Miss Maimang is very powerful, and when I didn't come, she didn't let Brother Shu get up."
Xie Jiashu lowered his head with a red face, Qiu Xiyin took the book and sat down on the brocade stool next to the bed, "Brother Nine is going to take the college exam this year, I'll read it to my cousin for a while, and when I'm gone, I'll bother Brother Jiu."
Xie Jiamian retreated, Qiu Xiyin reached out and tucked Xie Jiashu's quilt, opened the book and read it.
Outside the house, the snow layer layers, the house is warm like spring, the green plum fragrance bursts, warm and beautiful, Xie Jiamian, who walked to the door, glanced back, with envy in his eyes, silently watched for a while, and left silently
That night, Bai Feng appeared in Qiu Xiyin's boudoir again, with an exaggerated look of despair, "Yinyin, you have to help your cousin."
Qiu Xiyin was practicing calligraphy, and he kept writing when he heard the words, "speak well".
Bai Feng ran over and snatched the pen from her hand, "I'm just talking well, what do you think about the princess, obviously she also admires me, King Ningjun has clearly told me, as long as the princess nods, he will immediately ask us for marriage."
But the princess said that she still had to think about it, think about a ghost, we have known each other for three years, and three years is not enough time for her to think clearly?"
Three years
Three years ago, it was the time when the Feng clan was destroyed, Xiao Chengzong was captured, and Ning Shenzhi was in danger of supporting Juyongguan.
Qiu Xiyin thought for a while, "You also know the princess's temperament, you ask me here, it's better to ask the princess directly."
"I asked," Bai Feng pulled his hair irritably, "She didn't speak, stared at me hard"
"And then"
"And then I scared away."
Bai Feng saw Qiu Xiyin's expression of looking at an idiot, and he was immediately angry, "What kind of expression do you have, you don't know what the princess looks like, she stares at you, you can bear it"
Qiu Xiyin thought for a while and said, "I haven't tried, but as long as she doesn't do it, I can probably bear it."
Bai Feng muttered, "I forgot you're a little monster."
Qiu Xiyin's face turned cold, "If you come to scold me, you can please."
Bai Feng smiled again and again, "Hey, don't be angry, you are not a little monster, you are my little ancestor, the princess is only good friends with you, you can help me Anyway, your cousin didn't die that day, and I have a share of the credit."
Qiu Xiyin sneered, "You are embarrassed to say that you are the eldest son of the Bai family, and you can't even beat a killer in the rivers and lakes, not the one who made a secret move, whether your cousin can stay alive or not."
Bai Feng jumped to his feet, "I'm waiting for the person behind the scenes to appear, if that person doesn't make a move, your cousin won't die."
Qiu Xiyin looked at him suspiciously, Bai Feng said angrily, "This is a small credit, I won't take it personally."
Qiu Xiyin sneered lightly, "You are so powerful, how can you lose people and lose them, and you haven't even figured out where the other party came from."
Bai Feng was sad and angry, "This is the first time in my life that I have come to the capital, and I was thrown into this poor mountain by you as soon as I entered the capital, what powerful people are hidden in the capital, how do I know?"
Qiu Xiyin rolled his eyes at him, "You lost the war, and you made excuses like this."
Bai Feng slammed into her side, his eyes almost touching her face.
Qiu Xiyin was startled, hurriedly leaned back, and almost at the same time, the sharp sound of breaking the air sounded rapidly, the candlelight on the bookcase flickered and was about to be extinguished, Qiu Xiyin only felt that the clothes in front of him were shaken, and something was inserted into the wood with a thud, and the next moment Bai Feng in the room was gone.
Qiu Xiyin was frightened, and looked at the dark sky outside the window in a daze, a cold wind blew, and the candle made a slight sound, which was completely extinguished.
Qiu Xiyin let out a long breath, did not summon Huizhong, he lit the candle in the dark, held the candlestick, looked around, a feather arrow pierced through the wooden couplet, deeply inserted into the pillar on the left side of the house, the tail of the arrow trembled endlessly, and there were dark red blood stains scattered around.
actually injured Bai Feng
Qiu Xiyin reached out to pull it out, but the arrow did not move, and Qiu Xiyin did not try again, but he became more and more puzzled in his heart, who had such archery skills, and whether he was the one who helped that night
Why did he frequently appear at the Xie family, and what was his purpose
Qiu Xiyin was shocked, Bai Feng came back with a gloomy face, with the smell of blood all over his body, Qiu Xiyin was shocked, "You are seriously injured, I'll wrap it up for you."
Bai Feng waved his hand, "Don't look at that person who suddenly gave me an arrow, most likely because I was closer to you, this is the middle of the night, if you take off your clothes and bandage or something, maybe he will really give me an arrow through the throat."
Qiu Xiyin was even more shocked, "You mean that the arrow just now injured you, but his subordinates showed mercy"
"Most likely," Bai Feng's face became even more gloomy, "When did this corrupt official walk around the capital with such a white face?"
I see that he must know you, maybe he is still very close to your family, so he will save your cousin, and now he has warned me that he can still enter and leave the Xie family freely, you think about it carefully, who meets such conditions."
Qiu Xiyin hesitated for a while and said, "King Ningjun, the people under him seem to be very powerful."
Bai Feng shook his head, "Impossible, Yunhe and Yunfeng brought by King Ningjun this time, Yunfeng is only a little lighter and stronger, but it will definitely not be able to beat me, let alone hurt me with an arrow."
Qiu Xiyin's heart slowly fell, it was good if it wasn't him
Bai Feng muttered, "I still think it's Princess Chiyang, there are such amazing archery skills in this world, and her kung fu is so good, I've only seen her and Feng Jiang."
But Feng Jiang could never sneak to the capital, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Princess Chiyang was indeed in the capital to accompany Rong and Princess Chang to keep the New Year, and many maids saw it."
He patted his head, "Alas, forget it, I'll check it again, guess and guess, I almost guess that my head is going to blow up."
Qiu Xiyin suddenly asked, "By the way, what did you just come over for?"
"Oh, I saw that you rolled your eyes so badly, so I wanted to take a closer look, hey, I said it was because of your injury, come, roll your eyes again and I'll see"
Qiu Xiyin, ""
Qiu Xiyin pointed to the arrow that had been inserted into the pillar, "That."
Bai Feng reached out to pull it out, but he didn't want to pull it out, and he suddenly became angry, and he slammed it hard, and then
Then, Qiu Xiyin watched as the feather arrow smashed towards Bai Feng with the entire couplet.
Bai Feng hurriedly caught it, put it on the ground, and said a little weakly, "A board shouldn't be very valuable, let's keep the account first, I'll go, you can do it yourself."
Qiu Xiyin, ""
Now it's a question of whether this couplet is worth anything
"Hey, by the way, be careful with that second girl Xie."
Qiu Xiyin was stunned, seeing that he was leaving, he eagerly grabbed his sleeve, Bai Feng shook off her hand as if he had been stung by a bee, "Hey, you have something to say, don't move your hands and feet."
Qiu Xiyin, "You make it clear, today King Ning Jun also told me to be careful of my second cousin, what happened?"
Bai Feng sighed, "He actually moved his mouth to remind you"
Qiu Xiyin stared at him fixedly, Bai Feng scratched his head, "Forget it, King Ningjun has said it, and I have nothing I can't say."
I went to your family's famous green plum forest this morning to fold plum blossoms and give them to Princess Chiyang, and as soon as I entered, I saw Miss Xie Er rolling in the snow several times, and then I heard King Ning Jun say to her:
In order to escape the punishment of exile, your brother bought a murderer to kill his own brother, and you plotted against your cousin for your own selfishness
Just because you are also worthy of Chonghua's general surname Xie today, I look at Chonghua's face, I don't take your life, if you dare to have such a dirty mind again, I will make you regret coming to this world."
Bai Feng shrugged his shoulders when he said this, "You also know King Ningjun, I don't dare to look at his liveliness, I hurriedly avoided it when I saw it, and after a long while, I saw that the second girl Xie helped the maid to leave, so I dared to go in and fold plum blossoms."
I was afraid that he would suspect me, so I went to say a few words to Yunfeng, hey, little girl, I'm helping you, don't sell me."
Qiu Xiyin's heart was in turmoil, when she came back from Xie Jiashu today, she went to look for Xie Jianing, Xie Jianing's maid said that she fell in the snow, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to meet guests if she caught a cold, so she had no choice but to come back.
"Second cousin, second cousin is gentle and generous, although I am not very close, but I have never had a disagreement, how, how is it possible"
Bai Feng said with a straight face, "Little girl, what kind of status does King Ningjun have and is very good with your little uncle, no matter how impossible it is to charge a boudoir girl with such a charge."
Moreover, not to mention anything else, just looking at the character of King Ning Jun, since he opened his mouth and scolded it to his face, it will never be a lie."
Qiu Xiyin subconsciously retorted, "Everyone in the capital knows that King Ningjun is indifferent and ruthless."
Bai Feng looked at her strangely, "Indifferent and ruthless, ruthless, that is also for the Tatars, for those court moths, for those scum and scum, also to be soft-hearted and merciful."
