Chapter Eighty-Four: Leaving Kyoto
Zhao Zixiu was serious about Yi Xiangxiang's killing intent just now, just as Yi Xiangxiang said, he did have the idea of leaving people behind. After all, it is not difficult for him to get a daughter of Zhizhou to disappear in this Kyoto. But if this person is the pavilion master of the Joy Pavilion, he really doesn't dare to bet.
Huanxi Pavilion now has a very high status in the rivers and lakes, and their righteous deeds of sweeping away the mountain bandits have been appreciated and respected by many people, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Zixiu does not want to be an enemy with him, because he can't take advantage of it. Moreover, the people in the Huanxi Pavilion are all a group of outlaws, and it can be seen from the fact that Yi Xiangxiang killed the Qishan Cottage how much they will be revenged. It was Zhao Zixiu who knew that what Yi Xiangxiang said about the fish dying and the net was broken was really not just talking, and he felt that it was not necessary.
But he really admires Yi Xiangxiang, who is capable, courageous, and courageous! Who dares to meet Zhao Zixiu to discuss a deal after blatantly assassinating Zhao Ziyu? Not to mention women, such a man is probably rare in the world.
Thinking that he had been looking away, Zhao Zixiu was really a little annoyed, he thought that Yi Ruonan was Zhao Ziqian's target! No wonder he asked his mother to snatch Yi Ruonan from Concubine Rong, but later the concubine said that Concubine Rong didn't leave Yi Ruonan's brand at all! It turned out that Zhao Ziqian took care of Yi Ruonan because of the Yi family, not because of Yi Ruonan and promoted the Yi family!
"You and Zhao Ziqian are on the side?" Zhao Zixiu knew that his seventh brother Zhao Ziqian had been to Yi Mansion, and then helped Yi Ruonan participate in the draft, so he had such a guess.
Yi Xiangxiang yawned and shook her head and said, "If I stand on Zhao Ziqian's side, my eldest sister will not enter your mansion, and my brother will not marry the daughter of the Jiang family." ”
Of course, Zhao Zixiu understood what Yi Xiangxiang meant, which was why he had not confirmed his guess, what the Yi family meant, he really couldn't see clearly.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the good Longjing, looked at Yi Xiangxiang next to him and said, "You have come to Kyoto, don't you want to meet your big sister?" ”
Yi Ruonan is now a noble concubine in his fourth prince's mansion, if Yi Xiangxiang wants to meet someone, he can still arrange it. At this time, the atmosphere in the room was no longer tense, Zhao Zixiu was a person who could afford to let go, and since he had decided to cooperate, he naturally calmly returned to his elegance.
People who have worn the mask for a long time sometimes change their clothes naturally, and then they can't tell which is their true state.
Yi Xiangxiang said lightly when she heard this: "No need, I came to Beijing secretly, so there is no need to go out of my way to see it." In the future, I will let the dragon girl bring the fox-shaped jade pendant to dock with you, and if you need the cooperation of Huanxi Pavilion, you will tell her that is. I don't have any other requirements, the tiger poison doesn't eat children, it is estimated that Zhao Ziyu can't die for the time being, but I want him to be ruined! Do you understand? ”
Her tone was flat, but with a sense of solemnity.
Zhao Zixiu was actually quite surprised, the nobles he had seen were either gentle and quiet, or delicate and lovely...... I have never seen the daughter of an official eunuch like Yi Xiangxiang, who smiles when she is good, and is angry when she changes her face! She now said that she wanted to make Zhao Ziyu ruined, like a sharp sword.
The reason why Yi Xiangxiang let Huanxi Pavilion secretly cooperate was because he knew that Zhao Ziyu was not a good stubble, and they had to hit with one blow. In order to be foolproof, Yi Xiangxiang is still willing to help Zhao Zixiu.
"I know what you mean, it's enough to ruin my second brother's reputation. But the man who dug up these things is a talent, or you will bring him under my command? Zhao Zixiu looked at the booklet in his hand and said to Yi Xiangxiang.
Tan Pengtao can endure for so many years, to get acquainted with the staff and subordinates around Zhao Ziyu, and to record these secrets little by little, it is indeed a rare talent.
"Then you are going to be disappointed, he no longer has a good impression of officialdom, so he will return to Tongzhou with me tomorrow, and then be a teacher in our Huanxi Pavilion." Yi Xiangxiang was quite proud when she said this.
Why is she so proud? Because Kang Rui also tried to pull Tan Pengtao into the gang yesterday, but Yi Xiangxiang casually said that her Huanxi Pavilion still lacked a teacher, and then Tan Pengtao chose the Huanxi Pavilion in Colorful Valley.
Personality charm, personality charm! Of course she was proud!
Zhao Zixiu's focus is not on disappointment, but on Yi Xiangxiang's departure tomorrow: "You don't stay and wait and see the outcome of things?" And when the time comes, the three divisions will definitely need witnesses, what is this called...... Tan Pengtao? This Tan Pengtao can't go yet. ”
Yi Xiangxiang patted her head, she was really funny: "Yes, I almost forgot about this stubble!" Then I'll let him stay as a witness first, you have to keep him safe! I can't stay, it's not something that can be done in three or two days. I have to go back to Tongzhou, otherwise my mother should be in a hurry! ”
She really didn't plan to stay and wait for the result, how could it be so easy to sue the prince, the early stage was paved, the middle stage broke out, and the late stage was finished, at least two months or more than half a year, she couldn't wait.
Tongzhou and Kyoto are far apart, Yi Xiangxiang has been away from home for a while, and if she doesn't go back, I'm afraid that Qingxuan won't be able to hold on with a stand-in. She didn't want the elders in the family to know about her departure, lest they worry that she wanted to go back early.
Zhao Zixiu looked at her like an arrow at this moment, but she looked like a little girl, so she could only smile and shake her head.
......
Yi Xiangxiang returned to the Seven Princes' Mansion and summoned the Dragon Maiden and others: "I have already negotiated with Zhao Zixiu, and you are responsible for the contact with the Dragon Maiden after that." I will leave for Tongzhou tomorrow to ward off evil spirits and go with me. Xingtian, you, the fox fairy, and the yaksha all stayed to assist the dragon girl, and when the wind passed, turn Mo Wen back to Huanxi Pavilion to recuperate. After Zhao Ziyu's affairs are done, you all go back to Colorful Valley, Kyoto is a place of right and wrong, or it's better to be at home. ”
Although Kyoto is prosperous, Yi Xiangxiang has always disliked the dry north and the official ...... here Desire to cross the stream.
When the dragon girl sitting at the bottom heard this, they naturally gave it up.
The dragon girl originally wanted Xingtian to escort her young lady back to Tongzhou, but Yi Xiangxiang saw that Yaksha and the fox fairy were injured, and Mo Wen also had to be taken care of, she was afraid that the dragon girl would have no one available, so she insisted on leaving Xingtian behind.
The fox fairy is not worried about the problem of manpower, after all, Huanxi Pavilion also has a rudder here, anyway, many things on the surface are also handled by Zhao Zixiu, so she has other concerns. She hesitated for a while and then expressed her concerns: "Miss, Zhao Zixiu was coerced by you to take over the case of selling his official position, what if he changes his mind temporarily?" ”
The royal man is cunning and sinister, and there are many twists and turns in his stomach, which is what Yi Xiangxiang told her.
"Do you really think that he can be coerced by me? It's just that this matter has no harm in him! Everyone is a master who can't afford to be early, and he will do it regardless of whether I threaten him or not. Yi Xiangxiang handed the fox-shaped jade pendant in her hand to the dragon girl, after all, the latter and Zhao Zixiu didn't know each other, so she asked her to use this as a token to contact Zhao Zixiu.
This fox-shaped jade pendant was held by Zhao Zixiu before, and it was the lottery head that Yi Xiangxiang's brother Yi Luochuan won back from the poetry and wine party last time, and now it came in handy with this gesture, which really made her feel that the world was unpredictable.
"Then why did the young lady threaten him?" Xing Tian was a little puzzled, he was at the scene at the time, because the young lady's threat was too annoying, and the guards of the four princes, Pang Qidu, were furious.
Yi Xiangxiang smiled, she couldn't say that she didn't have the patience to talk about it at that time, right?
"Ahem, I just want him to know that our Huanxi Pavilion is not easy to mess with!" Yi Xiangxiang deliberately said this sentence very domineeringly.
The Yaksha, who was hanging from one arm, applauded when he heard this, but unfortunately he couldn't. It was to slap the table with the uninjured hand to express that he agreed with this statement, and only listened to his excited answer: "Yes! We're not to be messed with! Dare to touch us, cut him to death! ”
Standing at the door as a temporary guard, it was a glimpse of eavesdropping out of curiosity, and the inner thought of "it's not a family that doesn't enter the door" once again passed through my heart.
Not only was it a glimpse, but the rest of the people in the room looked at the two masters and servants who had jumped out, and they were also helpless.
After a group of people laughed happily, Yi Xiangxiang asked to ward off evil spirits: "Is there any news for Liu Fangfei?" ”
In the morning, when Xingtian and the evil spirits arrived, they were almost about to go out, so they didn't talk a few words. So it was only now that Yi Xiangxiang had to ask about Liu Fangfei's situation.
The evil shook his head, and said with some concern: "When we set off, we didn't receive news from Miss Liu's family, which is also strange, how can this person seem to have evaporated from the world?" ”
This incident actually made the people of Huanxi Pavilion very frustrated, according to their ability, they should not be able to find Liu Fangfei, but now there is no clue at all! Eh, how did they know that they had found the person in front of them at the beginning, and later Liu Fangfei found that someone was looking for her with a portrait, she only thought that the Liu family was looking for her again, so she naturally hid it more tightly!
Yi Xiangxiang frowned when she heard this, such a long time has passed, and there is no news? But don't let anything happen.
"Miss Fang Fei is smart and clever, if she is dressed as a little beggar or something, it will be really difficult to find for a while. But don't worry, Miss, I think Miss Fang Fei will be fine. The fox fairy saw Yi Xiangxiang frowning, so he comforted.
The reason why she is so comforted is because she knows that Liu Fangfei outwitted the Liu family's mother, and it was the fox fairy who checked the truth of Liu Fangfei's life experience at the beginning, and it was not a lie that she praised Liu Fangfei for being smart.
"I just hope she's smarter, you still have to let people continue to look for her, and tell me as soon as you have any news!" Yi Xiangxiang has no other way to do this now, but to continue to find someone.
After everyone finished speaking, Yi Xiangxiang went to sleep for a beautiful nap. And that night, she went to say goodbye to Zhao Ziqian.
At that time, Zhao Ziqian was working in the outer study, and the glimpse brought Yi Xiangxiang to the door, and after informing Zhao Ziqian, he brought people into the study.
The outer study of the Seven Princes' Mansion is very quaint, surrounded by shady ancient trees and green bamboos, which is particularly mysterious in such a night that is about to enter the middle of summer. After Yi Xiangxiang walked into the study, she saw that the four walls were almost all occupied by bookcases, and on the case, on the several, and on the multi-treasure grid were all kinds of precious antiques, and in the center was a heavy red sandalwood carved bookcase, and the four treasures of the study room were readily available.
"Hey, Your Highness, this study is more magnificent than mine, look at this inkstone and look at this ink, tsk, all of them are high-quality products!" Yi Xiangxiang walked in the door and had a rainbow fart.
Zhao Ziqian's praise of Yi Xiangxiang was not taken seriously, but he knew that Yi Xiangxiang's utensils were no worse than those in his study, and even the candlesticks in Yongleju were very exquisite. This made him a little suspicious that Xile Building had lied about its actual profits, so as to escape a lot of business taxes.
How did Yi Xiangxiang know that Zhao Ziqian would think that she was evading taxes at this time! If she knew what Zhao Ziqian was thinking at this time, she would definitely yell at him and tell him that she was a good citizen who was very law-abiding! Yi Xiangxiang took care of herself and walked around the study, and after praising it, she showed Zhao Ziqian her current intention to say goodbye and leave.
"In such a hurry?" Zhao Ziqian frowned when he heard that Yi Xiangxiang said that he would leave for Tongzhou tomorrow.
He actually didn't want Yi Xiangxiang to go, the distance from Tongzhou to Kyoto was thousands of miles, and I was afraid it would be really difficult to see him again in the future.
"Yes, it's been a while since I came out, and my mother won't know me if I don't go back." Yi Xiangxiang said with a smile.
Although she put a stand-in at home, the stand-in will definitely hide from her mother in order to avoid being discovered. Yi Xiangxiang was very worried that if she didn't go back, her smart mother would find some flaws.
Zhao Ziqian naturally had no reason to stop him, so he could only nod. In fact, he originally wanted to ask Yi Xiangxiang if she had the idea of letting Yi Xihu enter Beijing as an official, as long as she wanted to, he could arrange it. But he remembered the corner he had heard when he first saw Yi Xiangxiang, so he didn't ask more.
"Okay, if you have anything to help with, you can go to this address to find Tanghe." Zhao Ziqian revealed his stronghold in Tongzhou, and he wrote an address on the raft and handed it to Yi Xiangxiang.
Before, he deliberately wanted to keep it secret, but now he took the initiative to tell Yi Xiangxiang, and Zhao Ziqian felt that he was also a very contradictory person.
Yi Xiangxiang took the paper raft and squinted her eyes and said, "Hmph! I almost forgot! Remove the people who are watching me! Don't worry, I won't threaten the Seven Princes' Mansion! Speaking of which, Your Highness, you have a group of men staring at my yard every day, and I didn't beat your noble Highness, I really have a good temper! ”
If it weren't for the person who knew that it was Zhao Ziqian, she would definitely give someone a film! And Yi Xiangxiang promised that when she returned to Tongzhou, if she still found Zhao Ziqian's people staring at her yard, she would definitely take people out and beat her up.
Zhao Ziqian smiled and promised, "Okay." ”
Yi Xiangxiang nodded with satisfaction: "I don't have anything to ask His Highness for help, it doesn't matter if I give this address or not." Oh no...... Speaking of which, I really have one thing to ask Your Highness for help. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhao Ziqian actually didn't like Yi Xiangxiang to be so polite.
Just now, Yi Xiangxiang said that he didn't ask him for help, so he didn't want an address. This made Zhao Ziqian really disappointed, in his opinion, Yi Xiangxiang was a sign of drawing a line with him. But then she said that she had something to ask for, and he was a little happy again. But at the same time, she took a bite of "Your Highness", and Zhao Ziqian was a little unhappy! Really, the contradictions are complicated!
"I have a small hair, and I haven't been seen since I left Tongzhou, thinking that I should have come to Kyoto. But I'm short on manpower here, so I want His Highness to help me find it. ”
Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to trouble Zhao Ziqian anymore, but when it came to Liu Fangfei, she couldn't be pretentious. Zhao Ziqian is also the prince in Kyoto, not to mention the big roots of the tree, the road is definitely wider than the foreign Huanxi Pavilion.
"This is the ...... I know...... Is there a portrait of the woman? Zhao Ziqian was a little embarrassed.
Yi Xiangxiang next to him finally heard Zhao Ziqian's muttering clearly, and was wondering how he would know, and then remembered that he sent someone to spy on him, so he could only sigh speechlessly.
"Portrait...... I'll ask the dragon girl to give her a copy when I go back, and I didn't bring it with me at this time. Yi Xiangxiang spoke, her eyes turned to the rice paper spread out in the bookcase, and she said again: "Save yourself the trouble of the dragon girl to get it, or I will draw a picture directly for His Highness." ”
The dragon girl is very busy now, and she still has a wound on her face. Yi Xiangxiang thought that she should not let her run around, so she proposed to paint a small portrait of Liu Fangfei by herself to find someone for Zhao Ziqian.
Zhao Ziqian naturally would not agree, so Yi Xiangxiang sat in front of the bookcase and drew a portrait of Liu Fangfei.
The room fell silent all of a sudden, Yi Xiangxiang painted, and Zhao Ziqian sat on the other side of the bookcase and looked at her, quite a kind of quiet appearance.
Once a person gets serious, time will pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a stick of incense time passes, and Yi Xiangxiang completes his painting.
"That's it!" She said excitedly to Zhao Ziqian, and as soon as she raised her head, she crashed into his deep eyes.
Time seemed to stop for a moment, until the breeze blew the candle flame and shook it, breaking the staring between the two.
Yi Xiangxiang took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and said, "Your Highness, take a look? ”
Zhao Ziqian got up and walked to the bookcase when he heard this, he looked at the slim woman on the rice paper, her facial features were very clear, and the delicate charm on her face was captured very well, and she looked very beautiful and moving.
"It is rumored that you have no talent and no virtue, but I don't want you to always surprise me." Zhao Ziqian praised Yi Xiangxiang.
In Zhao Ziqian's opinion, Yi Xiangxiang's painting skills are really good, and the depiction of this pen is not much better than those noble girls in Kyoto. It is a joke that such a person is said to be talentless and virtuous.
"Since I was a child, I was watched by my mother and brother, and I wasn't very interested in this, so I didn't draw much. Of course, it doesn't matter if you really have no talent or virtue, people don't live for others to see, they live for themselves. Yi Xiangxiang said indifferently.
She was hiding it on purpose, but she really didn't care.
Zhao Ziqian nodded in understanding, he looked at the painting and said, "Why don't you mention another poem?" ”
The candle flame illuminated their cheeks, and Zhao Ziqian looked at Yi Xiangxiang with burning eyes at this time, and the expectation in his eyes made Yi Xiangxiang, who considered himself hard-hearted, reluctant to refuse.
"I'm really bad at writing poems, but I've read a poem before and think it's pretty good, Liu Fangfei is very narcissistic, and she must be beautiful in her portrait." Yi Xiangxiang said and mentioned a small poem on the painting.
"Light Luo small fan white orchid, slender waist jade belt dancing veil. It is suspected that the fairy came down to earth, and looked back and smiled at Xinghua. After reading this poem, Zhao Ziqian smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be too exaggerated?" ”
The woman in this portrait looks good, but this "suspected to be a fairy descending to earth" is too exaggerated, right?
Yi Xiangxiang said happily: "Believe me, she absolutely likes it!" "Liu Fangfei's narcissism has been consulted for many years, and Liu Fangfei often talks about the title of fairy!
However, Yi Xiangxiang didn't know that this painting was not used to find Liu Fangfei in the end. Zhao Ziqian then called someone to draw another copy and distribute it, and this one he asked people to put it in the Qian'an Courtyard after it was set.
