At this moment, Xue Yun outside the cabin was the same as Shen Lan in the other cabin, and his heart was uneasy, as the saying goes: The holy will is unpredictable, and the dragon's face is impermanent. Leaving Brother Qing alone in the cabin to Kangxi, he was really relieved. When he was about to leave the cabin, he glanced back, but he was running into Kangxi looking up at him, he couldn't guess the meaning of Kangxi's eyes, and after leaving the cabin, he chose a position closer to the cabin to stand, what he was most afraid of now was Brother Qing's stubborn temper, in order to get rid of the emperor's finger marriage, regardless of telling his identity as a woman, if this is the case, Hu Fu and Dong E will be unable to escape the crime of bullying the king, and Brother Qing's life is even more worrying.
Yinxiang, who was beside him, saw his nervousness, smiled and said to him: "Brother Xue, don't worry, Qing'er has meritorious service to the court, and Huang Ama will not embarrass him." ”
Xue Yun still looked into the cabin, the screen blocked his vision, and he couldn't imagine or grasp the situation inside. He regretted a little that he didn't stop Brother Qing from seeing Kangxi. According to Kangxi's meaning just now, he will still give Brother Qing a marriage, and Brother Qing will definitely refuse, he knows how stubborn Brother Qing is, but the other party is the king of a country, how can he tolerate other people's disobedience? Once Brother Qing provoked Long Yan's anger, he had no choice but to take a risk, first restrain the thirteenth elder brother around him, and forced Kangxi to let Brother Qing go. Glancing at the ** Thirteen Elder Brothers who were talking in a low voice in the distance and the Twelve Elder Brothers who were concentrating on the scenery from a distance, Xue Yun said in a low voice: "Thirteen Elder Brothers, I can see that you like Brother Qing very much." ”
"Yes, Qing'er is very suitable for my temper, we are in Henan for disaster relief together, he is very kind and righteous." The corners of Yinxiang's lips rose, and a smile was imprinted in his eyes.
"Are you willing to do something for Brother Qing?" Xue Yun looked up at Yinxiang with an urgent gaze. Yinxiang didn't look at him, his eyes were cast on the cabin, and he nodded affirmatively, "I do!" ”
"Thank you!" Xue Yun smiled, no matter what the result was today, in Xue Yun's heart, Yinxiang was already his friend.
"You're welcome, Qing'er is my friend." Yinxiang looked back at Xue Yun, raised his sword eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, I thank you for Qing'er." After saying that, he shook his head with a smile. Seeing Xue Yun's intentions, thinking of Xue Yun's question, he knew that he would be used by Xue Yun, but Yinxiang still smiled and was very happy.
"Xue Yun also thank Brother Thirteen for Brother Qing." Xue Yun turned his back and approached the side of the ship to look into the distance. "If Brother Qing is okay today, I hope that in the future, Brother Thirteen will help Brother Qing pay attention to Cao Jingxuan's movements." After saying a long sigh.
"I will, Brother Xue, don't worry." Yinxiang stood beside Xue Yun with his hands in his hands, and his tone was calm. Both of them are martial arts practitioners, and they know that a person's back defense is the weakest, and they can expose their backs to each other, it must be because they are trusted friends behind them. Xue Yun looked at Yinxiang, Yinxiang's eyes were also looking over, their hearts were connected, both of them smiled indifferently, and at this moment, the two were friends who had a deep understanding and trusted each other.
Thirteenth elder brother, if in the future, your emperor Ama is 'embarrassed' by Brother Qing, will you still help Brother Qing?
didn't allow Xue Yun to ask for words, and didn't allow the two of them to say anything, the emperor had already passed everyone into the cabin, and after entering the cabin, Xue Yun knelt down next to Hu Qing again, seeing that his expression was as usual, and the emperor didn't have an angry face, and couldn't help but secretly shout 'Luck' in his heart.
Kangxi said to Xue Yun in a loud voice: "Xue Yun! At the age of fourteen, he picked up the underworld 'Shadowless Gang' with a silver gun, and since then the underworld has been frightened and loved and supported by the white way. Over the years, I have done my best for Caoyun, and I was hurt by my best brother regardless of my previous suspicions, which is commendable! Now that the Cao Gang is at the helm of you, you have a long way to go, tell me how much grain you can transport to the capital every year? ”
"Back to the emperor, the grass people can transport two million loads of grain to the capital every year."
"Good! I'm waiting for your two million loads of food! Kangxi said, smiling slightly, "You two get up!" Tell me how the two of you got married! ”
Hu Qing stood up and said to Xue Yun: "Big brother, say it!" ”
Xue Yun glanced at Hu Qing with a smile, and then said: "Back to the emperor's words, five years ago, the grass people heard from the brothers in the gang that the young master of the Hu family was swinging in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang guild hall, and threatened that whoever defeated him would be his master. The grass people thought he was too arrogant, so they went to teach him a lesson. After the attack, the grass people felt that Brother Qing was talented and smart, so they became brothers with him. ”
"How? How did you two win or lose? Kangxi glanced at his sons, and when he saw their curious looks, he couldn't help but smile.
"Back to the emperor, Brother Qing put the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography. The grass people lost on the piano and the painting. Brother Qing played "Neon Clothes and Feather Song", and the grass people should play it again, but the grass people couldn't play it, so the piano skills lost. The painting technique is compared to painting flowers, the Qing brother painted a pair of lotus flowers, and the grass people painted a pair of peonies. As a result, Brother Qing's lotus attracted butterflies. The grass people lost again. ……”
Before he finished speaking, Hu Qing couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty!" I lied to my eldest brother, my silk was soaked in flower juice, so it attracted butterflies! When the elder brothers heard this, they burst into laughter, and Xue Yun also looked at Hu Qing and smiled.
Kangxi smiled and pointed at Hu Qinglian and said, "This ghost elf! Is this a win? ”
Xue Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "That's also Brother Qing's win, the grass people are not as witty as Brother Qing and older than Brother Qing." After a few games, the grass people gradually liked Brother Shangqing, and they married Brother Qing with Brother Jinlan. That's the way it is. ”
"Hmmm! The two of them are sympathetic to each other! In addition to Qing'er's name as a 'prodigy', the bigger gain is to get a brother! Kangxi said meaningfully, but none of the brothers cared about Huang Ama's words, and only found that Huang Ama called Hu Qing "Qing'er".
Hu Qing laughed: "Yes! Emperor! ”
"Qing'er, my sons are very worried about you, you narrate. I'm tired! Then he turned back to Li Dequan and said, "Take two pieces of jade pendants on Xingong and give them to Hu Qing and Xue Yun!" As he spoke, he stepped out of his seat and turned to the back cabin.
Everyone came to the cabin, and Xue Yun saluted the elder brothers and returned to the small boat.
Hu Qing was surrounded by Yinzhen, Yinyu, Yinru, Yinyi, Yinxiang, and Yinzhen for questioning.
Yin'er preemptively asked: "Qing'er, Huang Ama didn't embarrass you just now, right?" ”
Yinzhen was also worried. "Qing'er, what did Huang Ama tell you?"
Yin Yu glanced at Qing'er's expression, fortunately, there was nothing wrong, and asked, "Is your injury healed?" ”
Yinxi waved his hand at his younger brothers and said with a smile: "Which sentence do you want Qing'er to answer first?" Let's listen to Qing'er first. ”
Hu Qing smiled and saluted the elder brothers: "Qing'er, thank you for your concern, Qing'er's injury has healed early." The emperor did not give Qing'er a marriage, nor did he blame Qing'er. ”
Yinyu had always wondered how Hu Qing saw through that drama, so he asked, "Qing'er, how did you see through that woman as an assassin?" ”
Hu Qing smiled lightly and said to Yinyu: "The drama of 'Hero Saves Beauty' is not suitable for Qing'er, isn't Jiu'a blaming Qing'er for not saving face for you and accepting that woman, right?" ”
Yinxi smiled and caught Hu Qing's words and said: "Qing'er, you were injured, the ninth brother regretted it tightly, you wronged him by saying this, isn't it the tenth?" The last sentence was a question for Yin's Russia, but the tone had changed.
Yin'er stepped forward and said with a smile to Qing'er: "Yes, yes, Qing'er, Brother Jiu also beat those two minions." ”
Hu Qing looked at Yinyu with a smile on the corner of his lips, "Oh? Hit the minions? Hehe, Brother Nine is really good kung fu! After speaking, he turned his head to look at the painting boat he was sitting on, knowing that the eldest brother and Sister Lan must be worried about themselves at the moment.
Yinyu felt sorry for Hu Qing's injury, and when she saw Qing'er like this, she couldn't help asking: "Qing'er, are you still angry with me?" ”
Hu Qing smiled faintly and looked up at Yinyu. "Brother Jiu, as long as you don't come to get along with Hu Qing, Hu Qing will never dare to be angry with you, so please raise your noble hand and let Hu Qing go."
Hu Qing was dressed in a pink and white robe, standing solemnly in the wind, with a shallow smile on his face, looking close and close, but his words were said mercilessly. Yin Yu looked at him, didn't know what to say, was stunned for a moment, turned around and left, stood aside and got angry.
Yin Yi hurriedly played the round, "Qing'er, is your injury okay?" Sword wounds are not easy to heal, so pay more attention. Hu Qing nodded slightly at him. Thank you Elder Brother Twelve, Qing'er's injury is fine. ”
Yinxiang saw that everyone was a little uncomfortable, so he changed the topic and said, "Qing'er, one day we will go to Lingyin Temple to have a look." ”
Hu Qing shook his head and excused himself: "There is something in the capital Qing'er has to take the first step, Gong is afraid that he will not be able to accompany your elder brothers." ”
Yinzhen hurriedly said: "Qing'er, you go back to Beijing with us, we are companions on the road, isn't it good for everyone to be together?" ”
Hu Qing shook his head, clenched his fists and said to his brothers: "Qing'er has something to say to the eldest brother, so let's go first, brothers, goodbye in the capital." ”
After dinner, Rong Yu accompanied Yinzhen and Yinxiang to Mingyuan.
Four people sat around the tea table, Hu Qing lit the red clay stove, stewed the snow water, and took out a set of purple sand tea sets, took out the purple sand bowl, lit the ripe Pu'er tea, after the snow water boiled, the left hand pinched the right cuff, stretched out the right hand to lift the kettle, and poured the water into the tea bowl along the bowl, after the cups were filled with water, they picked up the tea bowl and poured out the tea respectively, and then poured boiling water along the edge of the bowl, and finally handed the teacup to the two elder brothers and Rong Yu, and picked up another cup by himself: "Please!" ”
Yinxiang took the tea bowl first: "Why do you have to pour out this first bowl of tea instead of drinking it?" ”
Hu Qing smiled lightly and made a long story short: "This first cup of tea is said to be 'awakening tea', but it should actually be called 'washing tea', so I don't drink it." He lowered his head and drank tea. Regarding the excuse that the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother came to the door to ask for tea because they were thirsty, they did not say it or refute it.
"I'm afraid this bracelet of yours is not ordinary!" Yin Zhen has a unique vision, and has already noticed the Buddhist bead bracelet on Hu Qing's wrist.
"Don't hide it from the fourth master, this is the treasure of Lingyin Temple."
"The treasures in the temple can not be easily given away, I am afraid that they are snatched by skill." Yin Zhen said seemingly casually, but in fact, he already decided in his heart that this was the Hu family's wealth and wealth, and he took it by force.
"Hu Qing disdains to take advantage of tricks, and there is always a fate between gains and losses." Hu Qing smiled lightly.
"What's the chance?" Yinxiang is more curious, and a string of bracelets is also so exquisite.
"The Buddha said, "Don't say it." Hu stood with his palms in front of his chest and gently bowed his head.
"That's good, it's difficult for a gentleman not to be strong, let's talk about your last trip to Henan."
"How?" I don't understand, how can the fourth Baylor be the tone of the teacher asking for sin at this moment.
"You bought Brother Jiu's grain?" Yinxiang was quick to speak, and Rong Yu also looked at Hu Qing.
"That's right!"
"But the price is ridiculously high." On Yin Zhen's delicate cold face, a pair of cold eyes shot at Hu Qing.
"It's fine. Aren't people working so hard to transport to Henan just to make money? There was a sneer on the corner of Hu Qing's mouth.
"Why buy his grain? Your granary has no grain? ”
"Yes." It's no secret. The Ninth Elder Brother, the Fourth Elder Brother, and the Emperor's people have already inquired.
"You don't use the grain you bought at a low price, buy Brother Jiu's grain at a high price, and then donate it, you have lost a lot of silver outside here, right?"
"That's right!"
"Why?" Yinxiang couldn't understand that he didn't use his own food, but bought other people's food at a high price, so wouldn't it cost a lot more silver.
"Hu Qing is just a businessman, he is not willing to make the road narrower and narrower, donating food only for the people, and Hu Qing has not thought about other things. If the fourth master thinks that Hu Qing has done something wrong, he will be punished, and Hu Qing will never say anything. ”
Hearing the change in Hu Qing's tone, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth raised slightly, and he said lightly: "Your fourth master's strength is so small?" Brother Jiu is my younger brother, my younger brother earns money, is my brother unhappy? That's it, you don't have to think about it. With that, he picked up the tea bowl and his face was hidden in the moisture.
"Four Baylor, Hu Qing does things but wants to be worthy of his heart." Hu Qing sighed secretly, he had no intention of intervening in the struggle between his brothers, what could he do to stand in the middle and not be affected, what a headache!
"Qing'er, I know that you have already decided to provide disaster relief before the fourth brother looks for you, why did you agree to provide disaster relief in the name of the court?" Yinxiang glanced at the fourth brother, and then looked at Hu Qing and asked.
"Isn't it a good hope for the people to revive the disaster and save the people from danger in the name of the court? The result is the same anyway. Hu Qing is afraid that he will end up with a jealous end in his personal name, and maybe it will lead to an inexplicable disaster, and he also earned a promise from the fourth master, isn't it counted in one fell swoop? Qing completely had a playful tone.
"Hahaha......, fourth brother, Qing'er's words are not leaky, how can I listen to the donation of silver as if I have picked up a bargain." Yinxiang pointed at Hu Qing and said with a smile to Yinzhen.
It's hard for him to think so far at such a young age. It's just that if you don't say your wishes, the fourth master and I will be unable to sleep peacefully. Have you thought about your wishes now? ”
"Why should the fourth master be like this, Hu Qing has already made it clear that he will not ask the fourth master to do something beyond his strength."
"Is there a goal? Or maybe a deadline. Yin Zhen glared at Hu Qing and asked.
"I can't say it now."
"Then there should be a range!" Yinzhen said.
"I can't say it now." Hu Qing was once again categorical. But the little smug look on his face revealed his secret. The promise of the four Baylors to be exchanged that day was completely out of the moment, but in fact there was no intention.
"I can't say it again!" Yin Zhen smiled, and his tone was helpless.
"The fourth master just needs to remember this promise."
"Okay, I remember." Yinzhen said.
"There are thirteen elder brothers here to testify, and I swear by high-fives with the four Baylors." Hu Qing said seriously.
Yin Zhen smiled and raised his right hand, watching Hu Qing's delicate little hand hit him from afar.
