(12) Disputes between the Mirror and Shadow Book Society
In King Rong's mansion, Xu Qiangluo, who was half-leaning on the chair, looked at Xuewen who came to report the situation, squinted his eyes and leaned back, and said with a smile: "In this way, this Luo Xiaoxi is the favorite concubine brought back by my brother on the surface, but it is actually his medicine, and it is really interesting." ”
It seems that the rumors that his younger brother has heart disease are true, his father has named him King Rong since he was a child, he thought that this was the affirmation given to him by his father, and he never thought that his most beloved father was just to block the news that his brother had heart disease, and a few years ago he was named the prince of Qiang, and he had to know that this title was only one word different from the highest power in the Qiang country.
He took great pains to win over the important ministers of the court, and also dealt with a lot of hot potatoes for his father, and in exchange for some rewards, he never even gave him a word of praise, but his younger brother, who won the honor of the prince of Qiang without much effort, since his father was eccentric, it is no wonder that he is unaware.
"In addition, Luo Xiaoxi also secretly bought a house near the Qiang King's Mansion without telling us, and nine times out of ten, he didn't want the people in the Qiang King's Mansion to know that they were boiling medicine."
"Such a shocking secret has been discovered by you so easily, and you must keep an eye on this Luo Xiaoxi in order to prevent fraud. You'll have to test it before you act. ”
"Yes"
Xu Qiangluo saw that Xuewen turned around and wanted to leave, so he called out to her, and said while knocking on the table leisurely with his hand: "Also, your martial arts are far above the West Boat, if you can't pull away, you can give her the task of fixing Luo Xiaoxi." ”
Xu Qiangluo dipped his fingers in water and wrote a name on the table, Xuewen looked at the two words on the table in disbelief, and said in surprise: "I never thought that she was also our person, she hid it very well, and even Xuewen never noticed that she was abnormal." ”
Xuewen knew that Rong Wang Ye had always been scheming, and it was reasonable for her to send someone to stare at her, she thought that she was special in his heart, but now it seems that the person in front of her may not treat a woman special in this life, but fortunately she stopped it in time.
In the Qiang Palace, Luo Xiaoxi, who had just changed into a skirt, didn't care about Xu Qiangning, who had just gone down to the court, and pulled him out of the mansion without agreeing. I can't help but have a lot of changes to Luo Xiaoxi.
"Shopkeeper, help me see how much this can be exchanged for?"
Xu Qiangning looked at the painting that Luo Xiaoxi opened, this is the "Mountains and Mountains Boat" that he asked for from the Central Plains with great difficulty, not to mention that it is rare to find this painting paper even if it is ten thousand gold. So, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and whispered: "Luo Xiaoxi's picture is the king's favorite, don't mess around." ”
She had inquired about his favorite objects from the palace butler early in the morning, and the butler was clever enough to lead her to a large number of gorgeous and valuable items, and to the warehouse where she had seen a great deal of curiosities. When she said that she wanted to go to the study to see what calligraphy and paintings she could see, the housekeeper was immediately not calm, so Luo Xiaoxi, who was just casually talking, was sure that the calligraphy and paintings in the study were Xu Qiangning's favorite. dared to calculate her, and today she let him see the consequences of offending her Luo Xiaoxi.
Luo Xiaoxi said softly: "Lord Wang, you can't exchange the treasure for the enemy, you have to think about it." ”
Seeing that the other party was so angry that she dared not speak, she was so happy that she wanted to jump up and clap her hands, but in order to make the four people who had just come in unable to see the clues, she had to look at Xu Qiangning with a coquettish face and said, "Lord Wang, you came out in a hurry, can you have silver money on you?" ”
Xu Qiangning was happy in his heart, King Rong's people were watching him, in order to avoid tracking him, he let Luo Xiaoxi find an excuse to come out, at this time, Lord Zhou must have been waiting for him in the old place, and he was worried about how to tell Luo Xiaoxi that he had an excuse to flee halfway, so he pulled her palm and said: "No, if Xiaoxi needs it, this king can go and get it himself." ”
Luo Xiaoxi understood, so he ordered Xuewen and Furong to go back to get the money together, and when he turned around, he seemed to be relieved in his heart, and he hated itchy, if she can't exchange this painting for money, it's good to give it away, anyway, it is impossible for her to take this painting back to the palace today.
"Lord, since I have taken this painting, is there any place for everyone to enjoy it?"
He knew that she would be able to understand her intentions, and after all these years, there was still a woman who was so compatible, which probably meant that she had a good heart. So, he smiled and said, "Naturally, there is, and this king will take you there." ”
Xu Qiangning asked the shopkeeper to inform Xuewen and Furong who returned home where they went, and the shopkeeper agreed. Seeing that they were far away, they said that they were unlucky, and when they saw that the painting that was about to be in their hands was ruined like this, they felt very sorry in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say much when they thought of the identity of the other party.
He was stunned like a piece of jade, quietly watching the prince of Qiang flirting with a woman, but he had never been a thing and had to help the maid of the palace to leave a word, he was really difficult.
In the Mirror Shadow Book Club, Luo Xiaoxi looked at the people coming and going here, the clothes and dresses were much stronger than the Stop Book Club in Ruoqiang City, and even the little maid with her looked like a decent person with a head and a face, she couldn't help but not believe that Stop was a small pastry, and the Mirror Shadow was a dish that could be put on the table.
What surprised her even more was that she actually saw the president of the Stop Book Club in the Mirror Shadow Book Club, Luo Xiaoxi originally thought that the president was just here to find out, but she didn't expect a scholar to call him the president, so she was so shocked that she immediately pulled Xu Qiangning away, and whispered: "Lord Wang, should the stop book club be you to collect Ruoqiang City...... Gossip was built, right? ”
As far as she knew, this Stop Book Society had only been in Ruoqiang City for a few years, and since the president of the club would not show his face in public, it was possible that he could not let the dignitaries of Ruoqiang City see his appearance for some reason, or in other words, it was to prevent the people of Qiang City from recognizing him.
And Xu Qiangning has been in and out of the Zhijing Book Club many times, and he didn't even say a word to the president about the half-repair and left, and afterwards she thought he would send someone to send money, but until he left Ruoqiang City, he didn't see him give the president silver, and the president of the destroyed book club never came to him to ask for hush money. He even pointed fingers at the president because of her, and he seemed to be the master of the book club, so her guess was not far from ten.
"Xiaoxi is really smart, but this Mirror Shadow Book Club is not your lord's territory, so you have to pay attention to it for a while."
Luo Xiaoxi hugged the scroll tightly and said, "I promise to give you a smile...... This painting has been promised to me, and the prince does not want to ask for it back from me. ”
She caught a glimpse of Xiaoxiao and Tingyu getting the sign and walking towards them, Luo Xiaoxi deliberately said the second half of the sentence louder, Xu Qiangning rubbed her cheeks tacitly, and said with a pampered face: "Xiaoxi can do whatever she likes, even this king is yours, will you care about this painting?" ”
Luo Xiaoxi's heart was beating so hard by what he said, she couldn't tell whether he understood what she meant to show others, or if he really thought so, she turned her face away in a little panic, stepped forward and took the sign in Xiaoxiao's hand and walked to the place where the poem was held.
Xu Qiangning, who was behind, looked at her appearance, but raised the corners of his mouth happily, stepped forward and took her hand to sit down at the corresponding position of the brand.
Luo Xiaoxi looked at the people present, whether it was a woman or a man who came, the little maid with him was more handsome and beautiful than the other, Luo Xiaoxi was dizzying, and he had to suspect that these people came to be more beautiful than whose attendants. Seeing the infatuated look on her face, Xu Qiangning shook her head and nodded, and hurriedly straightened her face and asked: "Xiaoxi, you already have the prince and me, you have to give up these flowers and plants." ”
Luo Xiaoxi's surprised face just met his undeniable eyes, and she was stunned, it didn't matter that she was caught off guard by him and kissed her, her heart beat more fiercely, and she said a "good" word in a dizzy mind, and when she saw the other party snickering, she came back to her senses, at this time, the president had already stood in front of the stage and said a series of polite words to the bottom, and this time the poem was the beginning.
Because he was too bored with the poem, Luo Xiaoxi was so sleepy that he nodded straight, because the positions were arranged in order, they came late and had to sit down, so when Xu Qiangning saw Xizhou, who had been missing for a long time and came back, he held her shoulder and shook her head gently.
"Who......"
Luo Xiaoxi, who had just woken up, saw that everyone had cast disgusted glances at her, so she shook off Xu Qiangning's hand that was holding her, picked up the pastry that she had taken a bite of and threw it on the ground, and pretended to be angry and said, "It's a pastry made of it, it's so unpalatable." Xiaoxiao, let me go to Qingfulou to buy some pastries, the pastries there are very much to my liking, oh, by the way, there are also the eight treasure gourd duck of Manxiju, and the jade silver soup of Yue Geju is also very delicious, I happened to be hungry and bought it together. ”
In this way, Luo Xiaoxi's words really aroused the eyes of many people, and such an elegant and poetic place was disliked by a woman who didn't know what to do.
"Comparing the Mirror Shadow Book Club with the teahouse tavern, doesn't this girl look down on the scholars present?"
"We're just ......"
A man who just wanted to say that Luo Xiaoxi was sleeping, recognized Xu Qiangning who turned his back, and immediately changed his words and said: "I also thought that this pastry was very unpalatable, I thought I was too picky, and I never thought that there would be like-minded people." ”
Luo Xiaoxi gave Tingyu who was holding the scroll a look and got up, looked at the people who had different remarks on the side, and said: "Everyone present is a person who has read poetry and books, and even the women are talented noble girls, so I, Luo Xiaoxi, have the courage to ask you today, what is noble and what is low?" The Mirror Shadow Book Club and the teahouse tavern are not stealing or robbing, they are the same places we love to go to on weekdays, how can they not be compared? Trouble the reader present to tell me. ”
