221 Expectation

Bai Lu spent eight taels of silver to buy a set of dresses, and returned it for six taels of silver, and it almost wore out the skin of her mouth.

She was very distressed when she lost two taels.

However, the dress was delivered to Xuanyin's room that night for double the price.

Just this set of clothes, the female shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop sold it twice in one day, earning double digits, and she couldn't close her smiling mouth.

If Bai Lu knew about this, she would definitely be distressed to death.

And at the same time that Bai Lu went to take off his clothes, Jing Xi sat silently in the restaurant drinking tea alone.

Ten taels and one pot of tea, if you don't drink it, it will be wasted.

Just as she was slowly sipping tea, someone came to the next table.

Five or six gentlemen sat together and chatted, because the environment of the restaurant was quiet, and the two tables were not far apart, so Jing Xi could clearly hear the conversation of the people at their table.

"Listen to my father, the prince of Qi was left behind to entertain the three princes of the Ugin Kingdom."

"They can be regarded as old enemies, they fought and killed on the battlefield, and now that these two people are together, won't they fight? How could the imperial court make such a decision. ”

"You don't know this, the prince of Qi stayed in Beijing as a hostage when he was young......"

"Brother Zhao means...... Is it a repeat of the old thing? ”

"Shh......h You can't say it, you can't say it. ”

Another said: "Brother Zhao is playing tricks again, I think that's what it means." My father has already received orders from several generals of the Qi army, and it is a taboo for the vassal king to be powerful, and there must be some action from above.

It's just that those generals, all of them are battlefield killing gods, and now they are in Beijing, they can only do some idle work, they are these generals, they are very short-tempered, my father is afraid that he will be angry in the future, I feel sorry for my father. ”

"Brother Lu, what are you kidding. Is there anyone else who can have a temper worse than your father? I think it should be those generals in the south who should be distressed, and when the time comes, you must not be tightly pinched in the palm of your father's hand, then it will be sad. ”

"Brother Zhao, Brother Lu, what do you mean to worry about those generals, they are all strong and strong. Speaking of pathetic, do you know Murong Saburo? ”

Hearing the word 'pathetic' and the name 'Murong Saburo', Jing Xi immediately pricked up his ears, and even stopped drinking tea.

Since he rushed back to the Gongfu overnight the day before yesterday, there has been no news from him until now.

"Of course, I heard that he has lived a prosperous life in the south over the years, and he is very much used by the king of Qi. I remember seeing him during the Lantern Festival one year, and everyone said that the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion looked like a fairy and was the first beauty in the capital, but I thought he was even more handsome than his sister. It's just a pity, it's a sick seedling. ”

"Haha, Brother Zhao is really lustful, and he even cares about the appearance of men."

"Everyone has a love for beauty. I heard that last year he was punished for refusing to hold an official position, and he was half sick and half dead, and he lay in bed for three months. I guess I've learned how to be good this time. ”

"Yes, this time he accepted the position of Pavilion Bachelor and has already taken office."

"You mean the Dragon Gallery? Is that the dragon gallery that collects sacred imperial books, classics, and pictures? ”

"Not bad."

"Isn't it, wouldn't it be enough to have a eunuch take care of that place, I heard that he used 70,000 Qi troops to slaughter the enemy's 130,000 troops. A talent like him, go to see the Dragon Gallery? ”

"Exactly. Brother Zhao didn't know that this was a specially created position for him. On his first day in office, he didn't even set up an official office, no charcoal, no food. When I got back, I fell ill. ”

Fell ill...... Jing Xi only felt a bang in his head and exploded.

She put down the cup abruptly, eager to fly to the Guogong Mansion immediately.

He is different from ordinary people, and it is not so terrible for ordinary people to fall ill.

But for him, even a small cold cough could kill him.

It's just that Jing Xi just stood up, and the shopkeeper who was watching on the side ran over.

The guests at this table have asked for a pot of tea since they came, and they haven't ordered a single dish, this is a restaurant, not a teahouse, and the shopkeeper has reason to suspect that they can't afford to pay this difference.

So as soon as the shopkeeper saw that Jing Xi was leaving, he immediately blocked up: "The guest officer has drunk, but it's time to settle the bill?" ”

Jing Xi heard the words of the shopkeeper and calmed down: "Don't worry, I'm waiting for someone." ”

After Jing Xi finished speaking, he sat back, pricked up his ears and continued to listen to the conversation of a few people at the next table.

But they have already changed the topic, and now they have begun to talk about what other sons can be married in the capital, and they are looking for their own sisters.

Jing Xi was not interested in these, and only hoped that Bai Lu would come back quickly.

Not long after, Bai Lu trotted all the way up.

Jing Xi saw that she was out of breath and poured her a cup of tea.

Bai Lu gulped down, and said regretfully: "I lost two taels, but I can finally settle the bill and leave here." ”

After successfully leaving the restaurant, Bai Lu was not in the mood to continue shopping.

Jing Xi is naturally not in the mood.

She told Bai Lu what she had just heard.

Tell her that she plans to go to the Guogong Mansion and let Bai Lu go back first.

Bai Lu thought for a while and refused: "I'd better go with you, and then let's go back together." After all, you don't have a warrant to enter and leave the palace, what if they don't let you in when the time comes? ”

"It's okay, then I'm going to trouble you to accompany me."

"You're too polite, promise me not to be so polite in the future, okay? In which direction is the Guogong Mansion located. ”

"Okay," Jing Xi smiled at her reluctantly, pointing in a direction, "Over there." ”

When he went to the Guogong Mansion, Jing Xi said that he was here to find the near water around the third prince, and he wanted to let the porter pass it on.

But the porter didn't take the money directly, knowing that the near water next to the third prince was not in the house.

Jing Xi asked Yaoshan again, and got the same answer.

Jing Xi finally asked Murong Yu directly if he was in the mansion, but the porter's mouth was extremely strict, and when it came to the whereabouts of the master in the mansion, he kept silent.

After saying a few words, he began to impatiently drive people away.

Jing Xi saw that he couldn't hear the news, so he had to leave.

On the way back, Bai Lu saw that Jingxi was in a bad mood.

He was relieved: "Murong Gongzi himself is a doctor, and there must be a doctor with excellent medical skills in the Guogong Mansion, he should be fine."

Don't be too anxious first, when the prince comes back tonight, I'll ask the son. The relationship between the prince and Murong Gongzi is close, and I think the prince should know where Murong Gongzi is now. ”

Jing Xi's heart was a little messy, because she always had a very bad premonition.

But now there is Bai Lu everywhere comforting, so that her heart has settled down a little.

After returning to the palace, Jing Xi and Bai Lu each returned to their own residences.

Jingxi used some support for eating during the day today, and he was not in the mood to eat dinner, so he simply didn't eat.

At the time of the lamp, the breeze came.

The distraught Jingxi was a little expectant: "Is the son of the world going to see me?" ”
