Chapter 124: Huainan Miscellaneous

Gu Qingyi memorized "Huainan Miscellaneous" like a stream, which was nothing more than some travelogue essays, although there were absurd and strange anecdotes, but they were novel and interesting, enough to pass the time.

It's just a miscellaneous book that is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, why is King Qin's face condensed?

Gu Qingyi was strange in his heart, glanced at it quietly, and guessed from the few words what King Qin had read - Zheng Ren stole rice.

The Zheng family was so poor that they went to the neighbor's room to steal rice and cover their faces with clothes. However, the neighbors suddenly arrived, and they were all stolen. Others asked, "How do you know that the thief is masked?" The neighbor said: "The clothes are torn and sour, and there is nothing else." ”

The story is very simple, it is about a poor and lazy Zheng man who does not give birth, and when there is no rice at home, he goes to steal rice from the house, and he specially covers his face with clothes in order to prevent discovery, and finally successfully escapes. However, as soon as he returned home, he was caught by a neighbor, and the stolen goods were seized. When the neighbor was asked how he knew, the neighbor said that his clothes were tattered and tattered, and that they were sour and smelly, and that there was no one else but him.

Gu Qingyi was overjoyed when she first saw it, and teased at the end of the article, "I smell the smell." Later, my cousin borrowed the book and mischievously seconded the proposal, "Stinky man, stinky man, stinky man......"

It's rare for a cousin to be so lively, Gu Qingyi can't help but look at it every time, except for "Zheng Ren Stealing Rice", there are also two more annotations in other chapters, because it is a boudoir idle book, it is quite casual when writing, and some unknown little temperaments are undoubtedly revealed, but it is not suitable for being borrowed by outsiders.

Could it be that King Qin's abnormality is because of the annotation at the end of the text?

Gu Qingyi was uncomfortable, and just as he was about to ask for the book back, he heard King Qin say, "This book is quite interesting, I don't know if the princess can cut her love and borrow this king to read it temporarily?" ”

Gu Qingyi was slightly stunned, King Qin would be interested in such miscellaneous books? She looked at him embarrassed and said hesitantly, "It's not that the concubine is unwilling, it's just that the book criticizes the concubine's body and cousin, and the cousin's boudoir jokes, and the words are vulgar, and I don't dare to let the prince hurt his eyes." ”

"Stinky man?"

King Qin suddenly read out his cousin's annotation, Gu Qingyi was embarrassed, and admitted it stubbornly, "The concubine made a joke for a while, which made the prince laugh." ”

Although it is not her annotation, but now that she is a cousin, it is no wonder that King Qin will be mistaken for it.

"It's the truth, why laugh?"

Unexpectedly, King Qin did not mean to ridicule or dislike, his expression was as cold and serious as ever, and there was even some emotion in his dark eyes that she didn't understand, as if the book in his hand was some peerless treasure, and he continued to pick up the topic, "Since the princess is not unwilling, this book is borrowed by the king first." ”

Gu Qingyi couldn't, so she could only reluctantly nod her head in response. King Qin's face softened, and after walking a few steps in place, he suddenly glanced at her and said, "This king still has urgent matters, go to the study to deal with it first, you go to bed first, you don't have to wait for this king." ”

Gu Qingyi was stunned, watching King Qin, who was bathing properly, suddenly put on his coat, took the "Huainan Miscellaneous" and left in a hurry, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Mama Xu probably felt strange, and came in and asked, "Princess, why did the prince leave in a hurry?" "It doesn't look like it's angry, could it be that there is something urgent?

"The prince has an urgent matter to go to the study."

Gu Qingyi also couldn't understand that the subordinate officials of today's deliberations had already left, and when King Qin came back, he didn't look like he was in a hurry, why did he leave suddenly? Maybe she didn't see it, didn't she see it at noon today?

Gu Qingyi, who found a reason, didn't bother much, and soon became sleepy, and said to Mama Xu, "That's it, Mama, the prince asked me not to wait for him, I'll sleep first." ”

Mama Xu saw that her face was no different, and her heart was also realized, so she picked up a fan and fanned the wind, waiting for her to fall asleep slowly.

Gu Qingyi slept until dawn, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the empty bed on the other side, the silk belonging to King Qin was intact, and there was no temperature on the couch, and he didn't come back all night.

When the slaves and maids outside heard the movement, they came in to serve her to dress and wash, Gu Qingyi frowned and asked, "The prince didn't come back last night?" ”

Qiu Yan had long been prepared for her to ask, and hurriedly replied at this time, "Princess Qiyu, the slave maid ran to the study, and the doorkeeper said that the light in the study was on all night yesterday, and it was only extinguished when the sky was about to light." ”

Gu Qingyi glanced at her approvingly, "Tell the kitchen to prepare a meal, and send it over when the prince gets up." ”

Han Dong, who was in charge of the meal, hurriedly responded and left in a hurry to go to the kitchen to give an order. After a while, after Gu Qingyi finished dressing, the breakfast that belonged to her was also presented, and she dared to finish the breakfast, so she heard the message of the maid and said, "Princess, the guard Feng Ming asks to see you." ”

Gu Qingyi suddenly remembered King Qin's promise last night, but he felt that it was impossible, and asked Feng Ming to come in with doubts, but in a blink of an eye, he walked in with a wooden box in one hand, saluted her, and said, "My subordinates are ordered to send books to the princess." ”

What a book!

Gu Qingyi saw that Feng Ming had a shallow red thread in his eyes, and guessed that he should have been ordered to find the book overnight, otherwise he wouldn't have sent it to her early in the morning. She said with some embarrassment, "I'm tired of sealing the guards." ”

"It is the duty of subordinates to serve the master."

Feng Ming was still as iceberg as always, and he didn't flatter her anymore because of her change of identity, but Gu Qingyi felt comfortable, and thanked him again before letting him out. At this time, Gu Qingyi had time to open the box and look through it, and found that most of them were some miscellaneous notes and rural monsters, all of which were novelties that she had not read.

In her previous life, she was the daughter of Wu'an Hou, learning the teachings of the sage, and her grandmother naturally would not let her read some idle books to leave her temperament, "Huainan Miscellaneous" was bought by her maid secretly, and then she also secretly read a lot of miscellaneous books one after another, and found interesting books to share with her cousin, those times when they secretly made bad with adults behind their backs, became the happiest time in their memories.

Slowly flipping through the pages, Gu Qingyi slowly became more interested, no matter how good this miscellaneous book was, there was no one to share her views and joy with now.

Seeing her put down the book with a dazed expression, a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of Mama Xu, who came in from outside just now, for fear that she would think of something unhappy again, so she hurriedly distracted her attention and said, "The princess is also tired from reading, why don't you go outside for a walk?" ”

"It's too hot, don't go." Now that there are maids who are sweating profusely with fans, Gu Qingyi really doesn't want to enjoy the summer sun, she didn't have the heart to read at this time, and when she saw Mama Xu, she remembered, she just came back from the flower hall.

So he asked, "Is it going well for Mama to run the house?" ”

"Thanks to the princess, everything goes well." Mama Xu said clearly, "Everything in the house has conventions, and this morning the stewards reported all the affairs as usual, except for Siqing, who approved the purchase of silver, there is nothing else to do." ”

Gu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, just nodded to indicate that she understood. Mama Xu also knew that it was not appropriate to say more about the maid waiting by the side, so she mentioned another matter, "Princess, tomorrow is the day to return to the door in three days, do you want to draw up a return gift list?" ”

Three days back to the door.

These words once became Gu Qingyi's heart demon, and when she heard this, her heart beat violently, and it took a long time to react, she has now changed her identity, Yan Shunhua, who was poisoned by wine in her previous life, has become a thing of the past, and she will not be unlucky enough to return to the door again on the third day and suffer a death robbery.

Even so, she was still not very interested, and said lazily, "Mama, you can watch it, and give me the list later." ”

Mama Xu thought of all the things that Gu Fu treated the princess, presumably she was already disheartened and no longer missed, otherwise she would not even be willing to draw up the list of returning to the door in person - which bride in this world does not want to return to the door in style.

She didn't want to mention the princess's sadness, so she responded again and again, and went down to find the chief manager Peng Dexi. Although she is the princess's nurse, her status is not as good as Peng Dexi's, so she has to come to the door in person to ask Peng Dexi to open the palace treasury, so that she can draw up a list according to the items in the treasury.

What makes her most entangled is how to handle the weight of the return gift? The princess's face is light, and the princess is not happy, whether there are other princesses who can refer to the list, it is really a problem.
