Fee Chapter (20 points)

Xia Yuhua's outspokenness made Zheng Moran appreciate it very much, and it was not easy to be so refreshing and neat. And he didn't seem to have any intention of hiding what he was thinking, starting from sending someone to call her, the so-called showdown was expected.

"I am glad if your father is willing to be on my side in the future, but it is enough if he does not want to get involved in such a dispute, and is not an obstacle to me. After all, no matter who rules the country in the future, generals like your father are the cornerstone of the court. I think differently from my father, and I will never be at ease with the heroes unless I have to. Zheng Moran was extremely honest, as far as he was concerned, as long as he was not an enemy, he would have one less hidden danger, and other things would be much easier.

But Xia Yuhua didn't expect Zheng Moran to admit his ambition and attitude towards his father so clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only after a while did he ask again You are not afraid that I will reveal your secret? ”

"You won't." Zheng Moran shook his head, and said with an affirmative face Besides, if I expect you to really leak out, it doesn't matter, because there will be no one, even if there are people, so what? As a prince, it doesn't matter whether he has this heart or not, because in the eyes of my father, except for the crown prince, everyone is the object of his defense. So at the end of the day, this kind of thing, you say it or don't say it, it's the same, there's no difference. ”

Hearing such an answer, Xia Yuhua couldn't help but have some new understanding of Zheng Moran's courage and realm. She doesn't know how much strength Zheng Moran has now, but one thing is clear, among the many princes of the emperor today, there are very few truly virtuous people. Comparatively speaking, in addition to being physically weak, Zheng Moran is indeed much better than those people in all other aspects, but he has been hiding his edge for self-protection for so many years.

And the point that she felt most recognized was Zheng Moran's proposition for heroes, so open-minded and courageous, it was a bit like a wise man. Personal suspicion is small, the country is big, and when the peace is to kill the heroes, it is for the country to dig its own grave, not to mention the cold people's hearts, the country is even more precarious when it is in turmoil. From this point alone, Zheng Moran is a few points stronger than his father.

After weighing it for a while, she didn't question it anymore, Zheng Moran's conditions were not too high, and she didn't use it in exchange to forcibly win over her father. I think that with his intelligence, he also wants to get it, and with his father's temperament, he will not be able to stand on the opposite side of him in the future.

"The great kindness of the five princes, Yuhua is grateful, the so-called great kindness is not grateful, this kindness will be remembered by the father and the Xia family." Seeing this, Xia Yuhua didn't ask anything else, but it was enough to understand this.

Yu Zheng Moran is just a handy favor, the two are not wrong, but Yu Xia's family does not have to have too much burden to get this favor, but some of them are tacit. The power struggle is normal, but all they can do is not to take the initiative to get involved, but just return the favor at the right time and the right opportunity.

After that, she wanted to get up and say goodbye, and the top priority was to rush to the prison of the Criminal Department, inform her father of all the dangers in advance, deal with them in advance, and win by surprise to resolve the crisis.

And Zheng Moran is also very clear that today's goal has obviously been achieved, no matter what, Xia Dongqing will remember his kindness, even if he is not clearly supported by the general king in the future, but at least when the time is ripe, it will not become a stepping stone to contain and affect him.

For such a general, he can't ask too much, otherwise the favor will become a threat, and if such a person feels uneasy, it is just a hidden danger, so this degree is just right. At the same time, one day, Xia Dongqing will take the initiative to stand on his side and cooperate with him, but this kind of thing can't be too anxious, after all, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and today is already a bad beginning.

Seeing this, Zheng Moran naturally did not stop him, this will make Xia Yuhua must be in a hurry to solve Xia Dongqing's matter, of course, even if there is no such thing, it is estimated that this girl will not be too much to see him for the time being.

"Okay, we'll meet again in a few days anyway, don't you skip words. He looked at Xia Yuhua who was about to leave with a smile, and reminded him not to forget to treat him when the time came.

"Five princes, please rest assured, Yuhua should keep in mind the explanation, and it will not affect your health." Xia Yuhua smiled faintly, expressing gratitude to Zheng Moran for everything before. With that, he saluted again, and walked out of the water pavilion hall instead.

But I haven't gone too far, but Zheng Moran's smiling voice came from behind me again, right, last time on your birthday, were you satisfied with the portrait I gave you? ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuhua stopped abruptly, and only after a while did he look back, pretending to be a little surprised and saying that the original painting was actually given by the fifth prince, Yuhua only now knows, thank you. ”

Nodding slightly, she didn't say anything more, no longer paying attention to Zheng Moran, who was smiling a little uncomfortable, and strode away.

Looking at Xia Yuhua's figure leaving quickly, Zheng Moran didn't stop her again, only after the beautiful shadow disappeared around the corner, then he shook his head with a smile and muttered, Hey, it doesn't look like it at all. ”

The voice with a slight sigh dissipated gently, and Xia Yuhua, who had already left, naturally didn't hear it, and at this moment, all she was thinking about was her father's affairs.

After receiving Feng'er in the corridor, the two quickly left the Five Princes' Mansion, and the sedan chair outside the gate was already waiting aside, but several sedan chair drivers and two other accompanying guards were all gathered under a big tree, not shouting and talking.

Seeing this, Feng'er said to those people as she walked, what are you doing, here"

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly stopped, and hurriedly turned in the direction of their own house to salute and say goodbye. As soon as the people dispersed, Xia Yuhua saw that they were originally surrounding a white-bearded old man who was nearly seventy years old.

The old man was dressed in a white-washed coarse cloth coat, although there were many patches, but it was very clean, and he was wearing straw sandals on his feet, and the straps were about to break, and life was quite difficult at first glance.

After asking, this old man was so poor that he couldn't open the pot because of the hardships at home, so he had to take out a strange book that he had treasured and sell it, trying to make a living. It's just that according to the sedan chair driver and the guards who have seen the excitement just now, the so-called strange book of the old man is just a very ordinary local miscellaneous book, which is sold everywhere outside, and is not worth two dollars.

But the old man said that this was a strange book, and the price was one hundred taels, and he didn't sell it for a penny, so the guards and the palanquin drivers were there just now to persuade the old man to stop being whimsical.

"You are a person who has seen the world, you come to comment, they all say that I am a liar and want to cheat money, but I am a real strange book, it is difficult to find in the world, if it is not for the fact that the family is really to the point where you can't uncover the pot, you may take out a hundred taels and sell it cheaply" The old man was arguing as if he was angry and asked Xia Yuhua to comment just now, and handed the book in his hand as a treasure to Xia Yuhua as he spoke.

"The book is so precious, it costs a hundred taels of silver?" Seeing this, Feng'er said a little unusually, and stretched out her hand to take it and present it to Guo Mu as she spoke.

But when the old man saw that it was Feng'er, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and avoided it, looking like he was afraid that he would be damaged by Feng'er, and the expression on his face also looked a little unhappy.

Xia Yuhua was in a hurry, but seeing that this old man was so pitiful, he felt compassion, and saw that Feng'er was very unkind, so he reprimanded Feng'er not to be rude. ”

After that, I turned to look at the old man, my maid is young and not very sensible, I'm sorry for you, don't mind. This book, can I still see if it doesn't skip words.

Seeing that Xia Yuhua was so polite, and he didn't look down on him at all, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the book in his hand to Xia Yuhua again.

After Xia Yuhua nodded, he took it with both hands. But I saw that the cover was written with four big characters of "Dream Forest Strange Chronicles", and there was no other word after that, not even the name of the writer, which looked like a manuscript.

After opening it, she quickly glanced at it a few times, as the guards said before, it was just an extremely ordinary miscellaneous book, there was nothing special at all, and even the handwriting was not too neat, it seemed a little casual, no wonder the palanquin man and others would argue with this old man.

However, although he knew that this book was nothing special at all, Xia Yuhua still planned to buy the book. One hundred taels is not a lot for her, but for this old man, she can live the rest of her life in peace, and she doesn't need to be so poor and miserable.

"Old man, I bought this book." She smiled at the old man, and then asked Feng'er, Feng'er, do you have enough silver on you not to skip words.

When Feng'er heard this, she shook her head again and again and said, the slave didn't bring so much when she went out, she just brought a silver ticket of fifty taels, and a little broken silver, but it was not enough for one hundred taels. ”

"Give it all to me." Xia Yuhua looked for her body again while instructing, but she rarely wore valuable jewelry on weekdays, so she took off the pair of delicate gold earrings from her ears after touching it.

Then, she took off the gold earrings and the silver ticket handed by Feng'er and a little cash to the old man, if they are converted, it is definitely enough for the old man, you take these, these earrings are gold, and they should be enough together. ”

Seeing this, the old man was not in a hurry to get the money, but said to Xia Yuhua This is really not a mortal, like, the old man is not a book. ”

Xia Yuhua smiled, and had to say that the little girl was not talented enough, so she couldn't see this mystery for a while, but sometimes she would take it out and study it carefully. ”

When the old man heard this, he nodded appreciatively again, Xia Yuhua said this decently, that is, to tell the truth, she didn't see anything special, and at the same time, she left room for it, and there was no meaning of charity.

The old man took the silver ticket and handed the book to Xia Yuhua solemnly, and then said that this book will be in the future, remember, this is really a strange book, don't think that the old man is talking nonsense and cheating money. It's just that this book is not the same as an ordinary book, and then I carefully study the mysteries of natural science. ”

After finishing speaking, the old man ignored the incredulous eyes of the others present, and walked away with the smile given by Xia Yuhua. One, everyone couldn't help but whisper, only that this old man must be a liar, and his own family was too kind-hearted, knowing that the book was nothing special at all, and he really gave him so much silver.

"You're too kind, even if you think he's pitiful, at most a few taels of silver are enough." Feng'er kindly persuaded you not to do this again in the future, otherwise there will not be many such people coming to you, and even if you have more silver, it will not be enough. ”

"Yes, according to the slave, this person is a liar, you really shouldn't be so kind." One of the sedan chair drivers also echoed Feng'er's words and expressed his opinions.

Hearing this, Xia Yuhua took one last look at the direction the old man left and retracted his senses, and said out of fear You don't have to say more, I think he must have a reason for doing this. Okay, hurry back home, I have urgent matters to deal with. ”

"Yes" When everyone heard this, they naturally didn't dare to say anything else, and the group hurriedly served and sat down in the sedan chair, and then lifted the sedan chair and quickly went to the direction of the general's palace.

After returning home, Xia Yuhua definitely didn't study this so-called strange book, handed the book to Feng'er, let Feng'er put it away, and then went directly to Ruan's side.

After meeting Ruan, she didn't tell Ruan that someone was going to poison her father, first, for fear that Ruan would be too worried, and secondly, this matter involved some other forces, so it was inconvenient for more people to know.

After inquiring about the preparations at home, seeing that there was nothing else, Xia Yuhua asked Xiangxue to find a more docile cat, but did not explain what to do.

After the cat came, Ruan heard Xia Yuhua say that the cat would be taken to the prison of the Criminal Department in a while, and he was very sad, and the straight master was suffering inside.

Xia Yuhua didn't understand it at first, but then she heard Ruan's chant that it was good to bring a cat, and the old man slept peacefully at night, and praised her for being thoughtful. Only then did she understand that Ruan Shi mistakenly thought that the cat was used to catch mice in the cell, and after being stunned for a while, she had to sigh slightly in her heart. I wanted to say something, but seeing that Ruan didn't ask much, I still endured it.

When it was almost time, the housekeeper came to report that Xiao Hou Ye was coming, and was waiting outside the hall, saying that if he was ready, Xiao Hou Ye would send everyone to the Criminal Department now.

When Xia Yuhua heard this, he didn't expect that Li Qiren would personally send them off in addition to taking care of the visits, so he hurriedly set off with Ruan's to prepare for departure.

"Little Houye, you are busy for us, it has taken a lot of effort, this will let you run in person, it is really too much, thank you so much." After seeing Li Qiren, Ruan said with gratitude on her face, she has no ability, and all she can do is thank you in her heart.

Seeing this, Li Qiren hurriedly said Xia is too polite, you still call me Qiren, these are just convenient things, don't take it to heart. ”

After that, he looked at Xia Yuhua on the side, and when he saw that there was no Xia Chengxiao, he asked Yuhua, are all the people who are going to go? What about your brother, won't he skip words if he doesn't go?

"Aunt Mei said that she wouldn't let Cheng Xiao go first, let's wait until we go to see it first, the prison of the Criminal Department is not a good place after all, and it is a little inconvenient for him to have a child." Xia Yuhua explained, and then said to everyone that the time is almost up, let's talk while walking. ”

Nodding, Li Qiren didn't ask any more questions, and the group quickly walked to the gate. The carriage outside is ready, and it will only wait for the masters to go with them.

Occasionally, Xiangxue, who was following Xia Yuhua, held a cat in her hand, which was a little strange, but Li Qiren didn't ask, but couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Xia Yuhua, who was walking side by side, saw it, and saw that Ruan Shi was walking ahead without paying attention, so he whispered that Aunt Mei was worried that there were rats in the prison, which would make her father sleep badly, so she brought a cat. ”

Hearing this, Li Qiren also believed it, although the prison of the Criminal Department was cleaner than the cells in ordinary places, it was normal for there to be rats, so what Ruan did made him feel thoughtful.

Out of the door, Xia Yuhua and Ruan Shi rode in a car, and Li Qiren rode a horse first, and the criminal department was not far from here, and it didn't take much effort to arrive. Li Qiren went in first to take care of everything, and by the time Xia Yuhua and Ruan arrived, everything was already in order.

After sending them to the door of the cell, he said, "Go in, General Xia is inside, and I will wait for you here." ”

There must be a lot to say when family members meet, especially when they see relatives in this kind of place, it is inevitable that they will be sad in their hearts, and it is normal for the family to cry and cry, and it will be a little inconvenient if he is present. So Li Qiren consciously stayed outside and waited, and by the way, he could also help them keep an eye on it, which was also more convenient. (To be continued.)
