Chapter 13: The Grace of the Golden Needle
Zhao Qiao glanced at Xia Jingnian fiercely, and then turned around to take a good look at Ji Qiang, but he didn't look carefully, but now when he looks at it, he only feels that her eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when she looks forward to it, she has an elegant and noble temperament, wearing a light purple Luo skirt and a white thin smoke veil, her skin is like a condensed fat and like a quiet orchid, she is a beautiful girl.
"You girl is dressed like my family every year!" Zhao Qiao jokingly said that this girl was the first little girl doll brought out by Xia Jingnian to see her, so she had to make a good joke.
Little year after year... Ji Qiang was stunned for a second when she heard Zhao Qiao call Xia Jingnian like this, and then she tried her best to hold back her laughter, it was the first time she had heard someone call His Royal Highness King Qi, Xiao Nian Nian...... If Ji Qiang was drinking water at that time, she definitely couldn't help but squirt out.
In the past, what Xia Jingnian was most tired of was that Zhao Qiao, the little old man, called him Xiao Niannian, but today, why did he hear it so well?
Xia Jingnian bent down slightly, and put his head on the side of Ji Qiang's ear, "Everyone in the world knows that this king only wears purple clothes, and Miss Ji happens to wear light purple clothes today, is it intentional or unintentional?" ”
Ji Qiang only felt that the roots behind her ears were crispy and numb, and she unconsciously took a step back, "The prince misunderstood, the little girl didn't dare to climb high." ”
When changing clothes in the morning, Ji Qiang didn't think much about it, but the purple Luo skirt was close and the color was elegant, so she didn't think much about it, but she didn't want to be teased like this.
Xia Jingnian raised her eyebrows and removed the handsome face that was close to Ji Qiang's ear, for some reason, he just wanted to make fun of her inexplicably, she was the first woman to make Xia Jingnian interested.
Zhao Qiao, who watched this scene, looked happy, it seems that the iron tree that has not bloomed for 10,000 years is already growing flowers and bones, or his future apprentice, there will be this little apprentice in the future, this Xia Jingnian will not dare to coax him casually, then the osmanthus brew is not how much you want to drink!
Looking at Zhao Qiao, who had a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, and the corners of his mouth were ready to leave flowers, Xia Jingnian raised his eyebrows, "What are you thinking about this little old man?" ”
"No, no, what is your name Ji... Qiang ...... Forget it, I'll call you Little Qiang in the future anyway. Zhao Qiao waved his hand and shouted.
Ji Qiang climbed a few black lines on her face, little Qiangqiang... Xiaoqiangqiang...... Such a strange shouting came up with Zhao Qiao...... It's better to be a little year after year......
"In the future, I will come here on odd days every month, and I will teach you to learn the art of poison Gu, but the level of my teaching is sometimes good and sometimes bad." Zhao Qiao raised his eyebrows at Ji Qiang and smiled evilly.
Ji Qiang could see that Zhao Qiao was making fun of herself, and shook her head helplessly, this Zhao Qiao was even more difficult than the outside world rumors, "Then how can we ensure the master's teaching level?" ”
Zhao Qiao patted the wine jug in his hand, and Ji Qiang smiled lightly, "I will bring good wine to the master every time." ”
Hearing Ji Qiang say this, Zhao Qiao nodded with satisfaction, this apprentice is very aura, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, although Xia Jingnian is a little worse, but his vision will not be bad, "Then if you want to learn the art of poison Gu, the most important thing is to have a good tool to be around!" ”
Ji Qiang nodded, in the past few days, she had studied books on the art of poison and Gu, and found that the silver needle was the most suitable for her, so she asked Xi'er to go to the best shop in the capital early to create a pair for her.
"Do you think this works?" Ji Qiang took out the silver needle from her sleeve and handed it to Zhao Qiao and asked.
Zhao Qiao took the silver needle and glanced at it, then pursed his lips in disgust, and sprinkled a handful of powder on it at will, and the silver needle turned into a pile of white water.
"What the hell are you? I can't even bear the toxicity, how can I practice poison! ”
Ji Qiang frowned, is it so vulnerable? This is the best dark iron that she asked Yan Wusheng to find from the rivers and lakes, and ordered the most famous blacksmith in the capital to make it, how could it be so fragile, but this also proves Zhao Qiao's strength!
Zhao Qiao glanced at Ji Qiang with some disgust, "Wait until you find a good silver needle and come to me to apprentice, you still don't want to pick up guests today, you can go first." After that, Zhao Qiao ran back to sleep against the tombstone and hugged the wine bottle.
Xia Jingnian knew that today was Zhao Qiao's taboo day, and he was able to say so much to them just now, all for the sake of the past, and naturally it should not be too much, so he pulled Ji Qiang out of the flower garden.
On the way back and forth, Ji Qiang kept looking at Xia Jingnian's back hesitantly, she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but Xia Jingnian was uncertain, even if she asked herself, she might not get the answer!
Just when Ji Qiang was caught in the contradiction of asking and not asking, Xia Jingnian, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke, "I have already helped you find Zhao Qiao, as for those other questions of yours, you will know if you have a chance in the future." ”
This sentence is to clear the relationship? Ji Qiang's brows furrowed deeply, but leaving aside her relationship with Xia Jingnian, hasn't it always been her wish? Why are you a little lonely today?
"Well, thank you for your help."
"Without a good silver needle, Zhao Qiao will not teach you the art of poison Gu, this is the first test he gave you." Xia Jingnian continued.
Ji Qiang frowned, she knew that the path of apprenticeship would never be so simple, and before Ji Qiang could speak, Xia Jingnian continued, "And Zhao Qiao only drinks osmanthus brewed with special methods." ”
"This ......"
"Although this king does not have a silver needle, he has a pair of excellent gold needles, and as for Zhao Qiao's love to drink osmanthus brew, it is from my palace." Xia Jingnian glanced at Ji Qiang and said lightly.
"The prince is willing to say this to the little girl, presumably he is also willing to help the little girl overcome the difficulties in front of her, so as to succeed in apprenticeship." Ji Qiang asked with a smile.
Xia Jingnian realized that sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart, and it's not easy to take the bait, "But this king never makes loss-making deals, and helps you find Zhao Qiao, it is this king who repays his kindness, so give you a golden needle and give you osmanthus brewing, count?" ”
"Whatever you want, the prince just asks, as long as it doesn't hurt the Guogong Mansion, the little girl will be duty-bound." Ji Qiang is not afraid of Xia Jingnian's scrutinizing gaze, like this kind of negotiation, momentum is the most important thing.
Xia Jingnian smiled evilly, took out the golden needle in his arms, handed it to Ji Qiang's hand, and said, "But this king doesn't lack anything from your country's mansion, this king only needs to ......."
Ji Qiang frowned, she had never been able to see through what Xia Jingnian was thinking, but after these few days of getting along, she knew that Xia Jingnian would not hurt her easily, "As long as what?" ”
"As long as you owe this king, this king doesn't want to repay the favor, so he will be forgotten by Miss Ji, and this king wants you to always remember and think about this king." After that, regardless of Ji Qiang's reaction, he left first.
Ji Qiang blinked unnaturally, stared at the golden needle in her hand for a long time, and then came to her senses, was she being teased by Xia Jingnian? Or is it His Royal Highness the King of Qi who is rumored to have this habit of breaking sleeves and is not close to women?
