Chapter 33: Small Talk
Chen Wei led Li Xiaoran and them into a courtyard, pointed to the courtyard and said, "Since it's late now, I can only grieve you to live here first, and I'll arrange a better one tomorrow, I don't know what to do?" ”
This small courtyard, which resembles a courtyard house, is next to the prefect's yamen, one on the east and one on the east, two on the south, and the gate is facing north.
The courtyard looked relatively spacious, Li Xiaoran walked in and wanted to see it more clearly, and the sound of leaves being trampled came with every step.
Chen Wei didn't know where to get a lantern to illuminate this small courtyard, and Li Xiaoran and they also saw the courtyard more clearly.
The ground is covered with fallen leaves and dust, this is like an uninhabited house at all, which means that it has been empty for a hundred years, and Li Xiaoran also feels that he can believe it.
In the prefect's yamen, Cui Qi rushed back, but found that there was no one left, only a few guards left, and when he walked out of the yamen, he really wondered: "Where did Chen Wei go?" Is that the case settled? ”
Cui Qi scratched his head and didn't come up with it, but suddenly saw the uninhabited courtyard, there was a faint light, and he was surprised in his heart: "There are also people who dare to enter the courtyard of the prefect's yamen, I was caught today, you are good-looking!" ”
Cui Qi came to the gate of the courtyard arrogantly, and happened to see Chen Wei sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground, and a few men and women who didn't know any of them, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, thinking: What kind of trouble is this?
"Chen Wei, what are you doing? What do they do? Cui Qi was really at a loss in his heart, he didn't know if the case of Niu was solved or not, but Chen Wei was helping a group of people sweep the floor, and they didn't know each other, and they felt like they had fallen into an evil spirit.
"Guess, see if you can." Chen Wei deliberately said that he wanted to see if Cui Qi could guess, but found that there was nothing to say about Cui Qi's answer.
Cui Qi said so, and made a sudden realization expression, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know that the prefect is coming tomorrow, and now invite someone to clean up, can you hide it from me as far as you think in your heart?" That's what I said, but why hasn't that prefect come yet, won't he be on the road? ”
When Chen Wei heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ran over, covered Cui Qi's mouth, and said slightly apologetically to this Xuanyuan Qinghe: "Lord Prefect, this person is clumsy, adults don't have to care, I'll clean him up!" ”
Turning his head again, he said to Cui Qi with a loveless expression: "You are looking for death, the prefect has already come, don't talk nonsense to me, be careful that the black gauze hat on our heads is not guaranteed!" ”
Cui Qi was even more shocked in his heart, why did Cui Qi mistakenly think that Xuanyuan Qinghe and the others were invited to clean up, because Cui Qi saw that they were dirty and covered in dust, so he didn't think about it at all.
But this ghost knows, the more he didn't expect it, the more he was, Cui Qi gathered the Qugong and said with a salute: "Lord Prefect, the villain is clumsy, next time it will definitely not be, I promise!" ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe didn't take this seriously, so he pulled the two of them in to work together, and after a while, everyone was so tired that they were about to fall apart, and the courtyard was also cleaned up.
It used to be a dilapidated small annex, with nothing and dust on the floor, but now after cleaning, the courtyard has a new look, like a newly bought mansion, bright and clean.
"Then let's rest early, tomorrow my friends are familiar with the environment, and we will also go home."
Cui Qi tidied up his clothes a little and said. It's just that I did a little bit of work, cleaned the leaves, and almost didn't exhaust myself to death, it seems that I will have to exercise more in the future, and if I continue like this, maybe I will die young, Cui Qi thought with palpitations.
"Thank you, sir." Li Xiaoran returned the salute, and then walked into the east room and rested alone.
Xuanyuan Qinghe and Shen Luo also nodded, and the two of them went together, and the two rooms on the south side went to rest separately.
In the room, Li Xiaoran didn't even wash, he fell directly on the bed, and said comfortably: "It's so comfortable!" ”
In just a few days, I have experienced too many things, one stubble after another, how can it not be exhausting, Li Xiaoran fell asleep immediately after lying on the bed, and he didn't even take off his shoes.
"Haha, fortunately I still have a little to eat, and I'll sleep after eating!"
The sound of chewing food came from Xuanyuan Qinghe's room, and he was still eating supper in the middle of the night, so it was probably Xuanyuan Qinghe alone, right?
Shen Luo was different from the two in front of him, he simply practiced a sword, but accidentally split the desk, Shen Luo immediately said: "This desk looks like an inferior product, and it was split in just a few clicks, it is definitely fake!" ”
Shen Luo persuaded himself in his heart that it was the same thing he said, so he would lie on the bed and rest comfortably, not asking about the world.
Everyone had to rest, and in the dark and quiet city, the breeze was blowing, and two people were walking on the street, talking and laughing.
"Don't know to remind me earlier? You made me lose face in front of the prefect, and you let me say how good you are! Cui Qi asked Chen Wei sharply, his expression was like a volcano about to erupt.
"Hehe" Chen Wei coughed dryly, Sihao was not afraid and said: "I usually like to pretend, and when I meet someone, I can't wait to say that you are an official, now it's okay, your nose hit the wall, isn't this what you do!" ”
"I don't like to hear you say this, if you say it earlier, I'll just pat yourself on the back, won't our lives be better?"
"If you know their identities and still make sycophants, I tell you that nothing works, now we just do our own duties, just complete our own affairs, don't care so much!"
"Identity? What identity? Isn't he the prefect? Aren't the people beside him his servants and maids? Cui Qi didn't even think about it, and blurted out that he didn't realize anything.
"You let me say what is good about you, let me tell you, these three people are not ordinary, let's first say that our prefect, the original prefects, come to office with an official seal and a letter of appointment.
And we are new now, with the emperor's edict, and it was written by the emperor himself, don't you say it's exciting?
We are talking about a guard with a sword next to your lordship, his name is Shen Luo, which is the name of someone you and I and the entire Ming Kingdom know, so you understand!
The girl next to her in the end was Li Xiaoran, the daughter of Li Qiankun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who could offend any of these three people! ”
Chen Wei said a lot of things, although they were all true, this scared Cui Qi a lot, and the wine bottle in his hand fell directly to the ground and shattered, and no one realized it.
"I'm this..., like a fake, I..., what else can I say, or do?" Cui Qi was about to stutter when he spoke, obviously frightened.
Who can afford this? Originally, I just wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but I didn't expect that this was not just a tiger, but a lion, and I couldn't afford to offend it, Cui Qi now has the heart to die.
"Otherwise, I'll go straight to the countryside now, and I'll quit, what do you think?" Cui Qi asked Chen Wei dismally, and showed a wry smile, and the whole person looked like he was depressed.
"Brother, what are you thinking? How can I say that I'm also an adult, after getting along for a while, people are still very good, I'm just joking, what to do with a single needle, he won't take it to heart, let it be? ”
Chen Wei didn't think about it, he said nonsense, and he could make a person who originally looked very strong be able to say such things, that person was very uncomfortable.
"I understand, is the case of Zhang San Li Si for the cow also solved by an adult? Are adults so powerful? ”
Cui Qi remembered it and forgot to ask, so he said that when he went to the prefect's yamen just now, why didn't he see Zhang San and Li Si.
"It's not an adult, it's Li Xiaoran, this girl is really smart, she said that she was sleepwalking, she had a fantasy, and there was some fixed thinking in her heart, anyway, I didn't understand, so it was solved!"
"Huh?!" Cui Qi frowned, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Just that little girl just now, I don't think I'm even twenty years old, right?" With such talent, it seems that the people from the capital are indeed amazing! ”
"It is a blessing for me to have a large number of talents! We should be glad to be! Although Chen Wei has a face full of meat, what he thinks in his heart has exceeded half of them.
The two continued to chat in the empty and dark street, and slowly disappeared around the corner.
A moon hung above in the night sky, illuminating the entire Ming Kingdom, and different things were happening everywhere and everywhere.
In the study room of Shangshu Mansion, Li Qiankun was preparing to play in order to go to the court tomorrow. At the border, the soldiers guarding the defensive line are patrolling with the general. In the palace, Xuanyuan Jingcheng was also dealing with the important affairs of the military aircraft, and he had not slept for several days, and he was still reviewing the folds.
In the early morning, when everything was silent, a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon carefully soaked the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved from afar.
There was a thin veil in the air, but through the mist you could see it, and the green grass in front of the person was dotted with flowers that had just opened their hazy eyes.
The surrounding grass gently caresses the smiling faces of the flowers with the cool morning breeze, as if to show favor to them.
A woman came to Li Xiaoran's residence early, and when the woman saw that no one had gotten up yet, she went to cook for them first.
After a series of repeated struggles, Li Xiaoran decided to get up, walked out of the door, and found that there was cooking smoke in the kitchen, so he immediately ran over to look.
"Who's cooking?" Before entering the door, Li Xiaoran said to the people inside, Li Xiaoran thought that Xuanyuan Qinghe was Xuanyuan Qinghe or Shen Luo at first, but he didn't expect it to be a strange woman he didn't know.
"Get up, I'm making breakfast for you, and when they get up, we'll eat together!" The woman said in her distinctive soft voice.
Li Xiaoran felt a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then cautiously asked, "I don't know, who is my sister?" ”
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Qin Ru, and my husband is Chen Wei, who is the prison of our prefect's yamen, it seems that my husband was talking to you last night."
Li Xiaoran knew that ordinary people should not dare to enter this courtyard, after all, this courtyard belonged exclusively to the prefect's yamen, so he said happily: "Then trouble sister, I'll go wash first!" ”
"No trouble, no trouble!" Qin Ru looked at Li Xiaoran's distant back, and couldn't help but think: This little girl is so cute, I also want to give birth to such a beautiful and lovely daughter!
