Almost every time I returned to the Champion Mansion, it was already dark.

It's late autumn, and winter is getting closer.

Floor lamps have been lit in the house, and the warm orange light blooms in the cold stones, and the softness and hardness are entangled to render the autumn night even deeper and more cold.

Shake the light and let out a sigh.

"Lately, it's getting cooler."

She quickened her pace and walked back to Wisteria Xiaozhu, changed into her official uniform, and went to the front hall to dine in the company of Ji Hua.

"Ji Hua, did anything happen in the house today?"

She sat on the chair and asked Ji Hua who was picking up tea leaves, and Ji Hua, who heard the question, did not stop the movements in her hand and continued to be busy, and at the same time thought for a little time and replied to her, "No, the house is still the same as usual." ”

"Oh, that's right."

I couldn't hear anything in Sha Guang's tone, it seemed a little lonely or boring, Ji Hua neatly put the tea leaves into the teapot, picked up a pot of hot water and slowly poured water into it, "Do you think something is wrong, adult?" You can tell the slave and the slave will help you think about it. ”

Wei Shaoguang put his hand on his cheek as a probe, "It's just a little curious, I've been busy in the palace all day, and there are places in the palace that I can't take care of, I'm afraid that you won't be able to take care of it but you won't want to tell me." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, there is a housekeeper in the house, and Xiahou Ming, nothing will happen, even if there is something wrong, the slave believes that they will tell you immediately."

"Hmm." Wei Shaoguang looked tired, and rolled up a strand of his hair with his index finger and wrapped it around it boringly, "Then, is Xiao Tang in the mansion all day today?" ”

Ji Hua quickly made a cup of tea, walked around the two chairs with a tray and walked to Wei Shaoguang's side, gently placed the tea cup in Shaoguang's hand, and then answered Shaoguang's question, "Mr. Tang went out this afternoon and hasn't come back yet." ”

"Out?" Shake the light in disbelief.

"Yes, the slave heard the conversation between Mr. Tang and Xiahou Ming in the Waterfall Fragrance Garden in the afternoon, and Mr. Tang seemed to be going out to get some things."

"Okay, I got it." Wei Shaoguang picked up the tea cup and untied the lid, the fragrance of tea came to his nose, gently scraped off the foam on it with the lid, blew it gently, and tasted it again.

"The tea made by Ji Hua now is getting better and better!"

Wei Shaoguang praised him, and Ji Hua calmly bowed and curtsied, "Thank you for your previous teaching, the tea made by the slave maid can make the adult feel delicious, and the slave maid will feel happy." ”

"Is Ji Hua's happiness so simple?"

"Yes, the adult saved the slave and the elder brother, and the slave and the maid have nothing to repay, and now they can only feel at ease by taking care of the adult slave and the maid."

Wei Shaoguang drank tea slowly, looked at Ji Hua with a humble posture standing in front of him, and felt a little sorry when he saw her wearing plain clothes, not decorating any hairpin rings and not using a little rouge gouache, and a beautiful face with a delicate and tender face.

Holding a warm teacup in his hand, Wei Shaoguang looked into Ji Hua's eyes and asked her with a smile, "Is Ji Hua still used to living in the mansion?" ”

Ji Hua replied to her calmly: "Everything is fine, the slave is very satisfied." ”

"Has your brother been in touch with you these days?"

Ji Hua shook his head, "No, the slave's brother should already be in the Eighteen Hutongs, and if there is no news from him, it means that everything is okay with him, and the slave will wait patiently." ”

"Hmm." Wei Shaoguang's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the porcelain wall of the teacup in his hand, a pair of black and white eyes flashed brightly, making people look very bright, she always smiled, and there was a smile in her eyes when she was in the house, although the candle flame was a little dim and even swayed under the influence of the night wind, but the light in her eyes would not be dim.

Ji Hua looked at her, and saw the bending eyebrows and eyes that shook the light, the corners of the mouth were raised, the small nose bridge, and the distance between the eyebrows was a little far, like the clouds and mist of the distant mountains, such a combination of facial features was not very brilliant in fact, but the temperament was far greater than the appearance, and the strange affinity mixed with the heroic spirit between the eyebrows on her body would always make people can't help but get close to her, look at her smile, see her smile and talk to you, the voice is clear and gentle, like the sunshine penetrating into the words, and the people who listen to her will feel very comfortable and happy in their hearts.

What a strange person, she's still a girl, the same girl as herself.

Ji Hua thought a lot in her heart, and finally fell on the identity of Shaoguang, she inexplicably felt a little distressed after she learned the fact that she was a daughter that night, but these days getting along has become admiration.

Wei Shaoguang was the strongest, smartest, and hardest working woman she had ever seen since she grew up.

"Hey! Jihua? What are you thinking? Shaoguang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, Ji Hua hurriedly came back to his senses and saw Wei Shaoguang's smiling face towards her, very clean and pure.

"Sorry! My lord, the slave and maid accidentally wandered. ”

She bowed her knees and bowed her head in pleading.

Wei Shaoguang pulled her up and said with a smile, "Ji Hua was looking at me just now, right?" Are you looking at me in a daze? Hahahaha! ”

"Uh......" was directly pointed out to the daze just now, Ji Hua was a little embarrassed, but she knew that the smile that shook the light was not a mockery or a meaning, it was just a kind of joke similar to a friend, no, it was a joke between acquaintances, she was such a person, there was no shelf, no class hierarchy, approaching you in her unique way to bring you strength, and make you believe that there is still a need to live in this world.

That's great.

"My lord, please stop laughing at the slave maid, the slave just heard you ask the slave brother about it, and she couldn't help but be in a daze."

Wei Shaoguang really didn't smile anymore, she put the teacup back on the table, looked thoughtful, and then said, "Don't worry, I will go to the Eighteen Hutong to investigate the matter in the next few days, and when the time comes, I will find an opportunity to see the situation of your brother and Ji Tao, and tell you when I come back." ”

"Thank you, sir, slave and maid believe in you."

The two of them spoke briefly for a while in the Songbai Chao Mist Hall, where Jiang Qiqi stepped on the dew in the late autumn night and walked into the Zhuangyuan Mansion through the gate.

The autumn breeze was blowing, and the cold penetrated through the cracks in the clothes, and the skin caused a shiver.

Shaking Light, who was wearing a little thin, hugged her arms timidly, rubbed her arms exaggeratedly, and shrunk her neck, Ji Hua, who was walking beside her, laughed softly and asked her, "Are adults afraid of the cold?" ”

"Well, I'm not frost-tolerant!"

Wei Shaoguang turned his head to look at Ji Hua, nodded earnestly and vigorously, and admitted his chills rather pitifully.

"Then hurry back and get some clothes, it just so happens that the slave has already packed up your thick clothes these days."

"Thank you Jihua, it's great to have a girl by your side, I was too rough before I met your brother and sister."

"My lord, you are serious, the slave is your personal maid, and it is the right thing to take care of you."

"Anyway, thank you very much, Ji Hua."

The sound of shaking light drifted away with the autumn wind, but the temperature remained in Ji Hua's heart.

People who have always lived in misfortune will cherish any kindness that is given to them.

Ji Hua remembered Wei Shaoguang's gratitude and hard work to her every time, and also remembered every time Shaoguang helped her, and vowed in her heart to repay her kindness and keep her daughter's secret for her.

The wisteria flowers in the waterfall garden have gradually withered, and the wooden shelves painted white are wrapped with withered yellow vines and leaves, making a rustling sound at night, and a crescent moon hangs on the western sky, emitting a cold light, magnifying the cold and loneliness many times.

Wei Shaoguang trembled and hugged her arms and passed by the room where Jiang Qiqi lived, and when she saw that the candles had been lit inside, her eyes immediately lit up, and she even forgot about the cold, she turned her head and explained to Ji Hua, "Ji Hua, you go back to the house first, help me make the bed and find the clothes I will wear tomorrow, go to sleep first, I will talk to Xiao Tang about some things, and I will go back later." ”

Ji Hua knew in her heart that the identity of the gardener in the house was not simple, and she was also a calm and intelligent woman who knew what to do, so she obediently saluted to Shaoguang and said, "Yes!" The slave and maid know. ”

Then he took two steps back, turned around, and walked back to the room where Wei Shaoguang lived in Wisteria Xiaozhui.

And Shaoguang rubbed his arms and walked to the room where Jiang Seventeen lived.

"Don Jr., are you in the house?"

Wei Shaoguang knocked on the door.

Soon the door of the house was opened, and Jiang Seventeen appeared at the door with his hair scattered.

Shake Light was frightened by him, covered his chest with wide eyes and asked him funny, "What kind of dress are you doing?" Just came back? ”

Jiang Qiqi took out a white hairband from his sleeve, raised his hand to tie the loose hair at will, and at the same time turned sideways to let the shaking light in.

"I didn't bother you, did I?"

Wei Shaoguang stepped into the house, turned around and closed the door.

"Nope."

Jiang Qiqi walked to the table and picked up the candlestick, then walked to the inner room, and directly lit the other candles in the room with the candlestick.

Wei Shaoguang followed him into the back room, stood in front of his desk, leaned on the edge of the table and asked him lazily, "I heard Ji Hua say that you went out today, but did you find something?" ”

"The plum hairpin you gave me has been found." Jiang Qiqi put the candlestick in his hand on the desk, and he himself sat on the chair behind the desk, and a wooden plum hairpin was taken out of his sleeve.

"Yuheng, where have you found out about what you told my country's government now?"

Jiang Qiqi didn't smile, he looked directly at Wei Shaoguang, his gaze was square, his eyes were firm and bright, his eyes were clear, he could even see his beautiful eyelid holes in the candlelight, his eyebrows were raised, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he was gentle and elegant, mixed with some coldness and laziness, his eyelashes were slender and thick, and a small shadow would fall in every blink.

Sure enough, it's a prince, and the face is very good.

Shake Light thought this in his heart.

"I found Longcuifang, the place that the Liu family frequented, is on the side of the Eighteen Hutongs." Wei Shaoguang sighed, his head turned quickly, and he didn't hide it and directly told her what she was going to do next.

"I remember what you warned me, but this time I can't help it, Your Majesty has already handed over the affairs of the Guogong Mansion to me."

She spread her hands, turned to face Jiang Seventeen, stood in front of the desk, and said the current situation with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiqi frowned unhappily and quickly fell, his eyes fell on the plum blossom hairpin lying on the table, and his voice told the origin of the shaking hairpin.

"Yuheng, this hairpin has nothing to do with Fu Weiren."

"Huh?"

Jiang Qiqi showed a long-lost smile at the surprised shake light, paused and continued, "Have you heard of the organization 'Bloodstained Plum Blossom'? ”

Wei shook his head, "I'm not omnipotent, I really don't know this." ”

"It's normal that I haven't heard of it, because this is a killer organization from the Chu State."

"What?"

"Yuheng, sit down first, and I'll tell you slowly."

Wei Shaoguang nodded, moved a stool and placed it on the opposite side of the desk, she put her hand on her cheek to indicate that she listened quietly, Jiang Qiqi couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this, and his previous seriousness and dullness were dispelled between Shaguang's every move.

"Shake the light." Jiang Qiqi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled gently, "Now there is no one, I can call you that, right?" ”

Wei Shaoguang nodded helplessly, "Yes." ”

"Most of the 'blood-stained plum blossoms' are women, they are scattered in various countries, serving people with their beauty, stealing information and things to bring back to the organization, and this organization is loyal to the royal family of Chu State, so ...... You should understand, why Ye Qiu knew Grandpa Guo's concubine, and at the same time, Ouyang Fu was able to escape from prison at this time. ”

"Yes, I see, Seventeen."

Wei Shaoguang looked at Jiang Qi, the candlelight was warm orange, the person on the other side of the table was unfathomable, and she was frequently helped by him, and would ask for his help now and in the future......

It's really, I can't tell.
