What happened in the Four Princes' Mansion in the morning was transmitted to the Qi Mansion a little later.

In addition to the large number of people in the capital, there are also many spies.

All kinds of messaging are never affected by the changes of the seasons, so if you can't catch the latest news, how can you catch the latest trends? The painstaking drill camp is also a doorway, but whenever there is a powerful role, it is indispensable to pay more attention.

The news that Jiang Xihu had a very good relationship with his daughter's subordinate Li Jicai immediately spread out, as if he had grown legs and inserted wings.

Jiang Xihu knew that there were a lot of spies in his house, and although today's incident was a little unexpected, it would not hurt if it was spread out, but it would still be extremely beneficial to himself. When he receives attention, Li Jicai will stand in line with him, and he will receive more attention, right?

No loss, no loss.

Therefore, Qi Qingchu, who was idle at home and called himself ill from time to time, naturally heard such news.

At that time, he was laying out paper and pen in the corridor to paint, painting a red plum that bloomed first in the courtyard, and drinking a glass of warm wine, enjoying himself.

The gray and cold sky did not disturb his interest.

However, when someone trotted in on the thick snow, the sound of "squeak, squeak" unexpectedly aroused a sense of impatience, and he had always been indifferent and a little more anxious.

Could it be that something is going on again?

Don't be Li Jicai.

However, when his subordinates told him the ins and outs of what he wanted to report, Qi Qingchu only knew what happened in the palace of the fourth prince, King Sui.

It's just a trifle, and it's nothing. Qi Qingchu waved his hand to let his subordinates leave when he heard this, so as not to disturb his interest, Qi Qingchu felt uncomfortable inexplicably.

But I can't explain the origin of this unhappiness, but after listening to it, I lost the mind to continue painting, and a plum blossom growing obliquely on the branch is almost finished.

It's just a few strokes.

Looking at the snow-covered courtyard, it doesn't look so good. In the past, he also didn't like to stay outdoors in the snow.

Maybe it was just the burning warm breath that fell on his neck, or the soft lips that overturned him. But what is the specific reason, Qi Qingchu himself feels that he can't explain it.

It turns out that she can have a lot of fun with anyone.

I couldn't help frowning deeply, but I felt that this kind of jealousy-like emotion was extremely inexplicable, why bother? Why bother? Qi Qingchu pursed her lips, couldn't get angry, reached out and filled the wine glass on the table, and then took the wine glass and drank it all. The cool, crisp wine slid into the throat and into the intestines, bringing with it a hot and hot feeling.

Exhaled lightly, and then held back for a long time, Qi Qingchu suddenly had the urge to step forward and go directly to see her, but after thinking about it, he still held back.

There was no special relationship between the two of them, so why did he pay so much attention to her?

It seems that you care so much, and it doesn't matter?

Qi Qing thought so at first, but she still felt extremely unhappy in her heart. It's like being offended, and the other party doesn't even realize it at all.

This couldn't help but make Qi Qingchu wonder if Li Jicai didn't take him seriously at all.

The wind and snow gradually got heavier and heavier, and there were more and more places in the corner of the corridor where Qi Qingchu was standing, and some snowflakes had already naughtily fallen to Qi Qingchu's feet and on the table.

His figure didn't move for a long time, and after waiting for a while, he turned around and walked away.

Not long after, a carriage appeared at the gate of the Qi Mansion, and the coachman and two subordinates were standing next to the carriage, looking respectfully at the direction of the gate.

The two horses kicked and stomped, their fluffy ears shaking the falling snowflakes, and snorting from time to time, as if they couldn't wait to hit the road.

Two tall, fat horses were in front, with long manes and yellow earth color, and great endurance.

The carriage dragged behind him was decent, without superfluous ornate decorations, just a small flag was inserted on the head of the carriage, and the word "Qi" was printed on it.

Who's going to go out?

People passing by couldn't help but be a little curious when they saw the carriage stopping at the gate of Qifu.

The life of a large family is always curious to those ordinary people.

Today's wind and snow are not small, and the hand warmer in my hand is reluctant to put it down for a moment.

When Mrs. Qi passed by the courtyard, she saw Qi Qingchu tidying up her clothes and walking outside. The thick coat is going to be dragged to the ground.

She just wanted to stop Qi Qingchu and ask him where he was going?

As a result, before he could speak, Qi Qingchu still walked over in a hurry.

Mrs. Qi stomped her feet, thinking about catching up, but she had no choice but to get wet and slippery, for fear that one would accidentally fall to the ground.

When I got up this morning, the maids said that the road outside was slippery and rainy outside, and several people fell in the morning.

Mrs. Qi was worried that she would lose her identity if she slipped, so she had to be reserved and careful when she walked.

Seeing that Qi Qingchu had already left her sight, she turned around and called the people in her son's yard over to ask what was going on, what was going on in such a hurry.

Qi Qingchu went out in such a hurry, not for anything else, just to run to Wusong Mountain outside the capital.

He couldn't wait to find his mentor.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the day.

It is expected to plan which day to go to the beginning of spring, so it is better to be far away, and it is better to go with a ruthless stomping of one's feet.

If he can't come back then, he will stay in the mountains for a few days and talk to his mentor, who has nothing to do now.

Qi Qingchu did not go to the mansion of the fourth prince to find Li Jicai, mainly because he did not have any suitable excuse now, and the right reason to go to Li Jicai.

Li Jicai is a living person, she has always had her own ideas, her own opinions, and others can't force her, most of what Qi Qingchu said If Li Jicai felt unreasonable, she wouldn't listen to him at all, and now Qi Qingchu feels that Li Jicai still has an inexplicable hostility towards herself.

Qi Qingchu has never had a reason, things have ever felt tricky and at a loss, but after getting involved with Li Jicai, there is often a feeling of not knowing where to start.

Qi Qingchu felt that he had to be shown a clear path by someone, otherwise he would always be cranky like this, and there would be no benefit at all, and Qi Qingchu felt that if others didn't say it, he wouldn't take the initiative to face it.

So, Qi Qingchu had such a mentality, and hurriedly went to find his mentor Zhuo Taishi.

And what is his mentor doing at this moment?

Zhuo Taishi is brewing tea in the mountains with his Taoist friends, enjoying the beautiful scenery after the snow, a small pavilion built in the mountains, called Songlang Pavilion, there are many pine trees growing in the cracks between the mountains and rocks around the pavilion, so it is named.

After a snowfall, it also gave Wusong Mountain a layer of white, and the pine trees after the snow were even more beautiful, and the posture was thousands.

Zhuo Taishi's mood is very good, his wife and children live at the foot of the mountain, if there is any need on weekdays, they will also go back and forth between the capital, and Zhuo Taishi himself likes to stay away from the world, from time to time he loves to climb the mountain, and his body is really old and strong.

Not long ago, he received a message from Qi Qingchu, saying that he would come to visit him when he was free.

For his proud protégé, Zhuo Taishi is naturally very welcome, and Zhuo Taishi has also heard about what Qi Qingchu did in the officialdom later.

This student of his own is a real skill, very studious, not to mention very talented, on weekdays playing chess, writing poetry and painting are a good hand, in some places even he is a little ashamed of himself as a teacher.

Therefore, Qi Qingchu was able to shine in the court, and he would not feel strange at all when he thought about it.

Of course, it is precisely because Qi Qingchu is reluctant to do so in the early part of the year, he is very busy every day and has no spare time, but every time he is born, he always sends congratulatory gifts and writes letters to express his concern for him.

These Zhuo Taishi can understand, but he didn't expect the sudden Qi Qingchu to say that he would come to see him.

Master Zhuo wondered if Qi Qingchu had encountered something and if he had encountered something that he couldn't get over, so he suddenly came to him.

Of course it's strange, whether he was thinking about it yesterday or thinking about it when he met Qi Qingchu, after all, Qi Qingchu said that he was coming to see him and said that he was going to see him, and he didn't know what year and month it was.

Zhuo Taishi listened to his old friends who would still retire from the court, saying that Qi Qingchu also knew a lot about his situation.

Including the recent movements of His Majesty, it doesn't seem to be very good for Qi Qingchu.

So Master Zhuo felt that Qi Qingchu might have come to him for such a thing, so that he could also give him some advice, and that's it.

However, Master Zhuo felt that he had been away from the court for many days, and he couldn't say anything that could be particularly good, so he suggested that in addition to doing his duty, he should not worry more about interfering in the rest, so as not to dislike His Majesty.

That's about it, and apart from that, Zhuo Taishi couldn't think of any other reason to let him be like this.

Just when Zhuo Taishi was chatting and playing chess with his Taoist friend and was happy, there was a scary person, and he suddenly hurriedly ran from the foot of the mountain to the mountain to inform him, saying that Qi Qingchu was already waiting at the foot of the mountain, but I don't know if Zhuo Taishi would like to see him?

Master Zhuo was taken aback, and some didn't react, how could he say that he would just come over when Qi Qing was free, but why, why did he come over suddenly? This was too much of a surprise to him.

Everyone is here, can Master Zhuo still let him go back? That must have put him up the mountain.

At that time, it is estimated that if you don't have time to go back, you will stay on the mountain for one night, and it happens that there are many empty rooms in the Taoist temple of his Taoist friend, and it should be possible to borrow one night.

Zhuo Taishi estimated that he couldn't play this chess, so just like his Taoist friend explained this matter, Zhuo Taishi's Taoist friend also understood, and directly excused himself that there was still something in the Taoist temple to leave a step ahead of him, leaving space for the upcoming guests.
