Zhong Chi smiled in surprise: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Li Changdui said lightly: "You asked Qiandeng Pavilion to buy news, Your Majesty sent a sum of silver, Yun Dingan sent a sum of silver, and now Xiao Huaibi also sent a sum of money, you never intended to ask me, did you?" ”

Zhong Chichi smiled and said, "Are you blaming me for having private money?" ”

He sighed lightly: "You used to say anything you wanted directly to Ran Du, why do you ...... now Chi Chi, since I was a child, I have only one relative, and everything in the Gangneung Royal Mansion is mine and yours ......"

If these words were placed in normal times, it would not sound like much, but during the day, I just heard Li Changye say "My private treasury is yours", and then heard something like "My palace is all yours", Zhong Chichi couldn't help but glance at him, and his mood was a little delicate.

Li Changwei said that she was the only relative, and he was not the only warmth she had when she was young.

However, children need warmth, and she has grown up.

"How can I be the only one?" Zhong Chichi smiled and said, "You will always marry a wife and have children in the future, and have your own family, I will not stay in Chang'an forever, and I don't know if I leave, I will not come back!" ”

Maybe there was a reason to linger outside, maybe it was dead, or maybe it didn't escape the fate of being a sacrifice after all.

"What nonsense-" He reprimanded lightly, with a hint of intimacy and love, raised his hand and touched her hair, "If you want to go, you can go, if you want to go back, I will always be here, no matter what, I only have you in my heart!" ”

Zhong Chichi wanted to reply, "But I don't want to be your only relative", but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back and changed his words: "When did you come back?" Didn't change the official uniform? Have you had dinner? ”

Li Changdu's eyes softened, and he said, "I'm going now, you can rest early!" ”

It's another day of wasting time outside, how can Zhong Chi have the heart to rest? After a turn of thought, he grabbed him and said, "You ask people to circle the area around the wind platform, I plan to set up a formation, and I will practice witchcraft on the wind platform every night in the future!" ”

"Good!" Li Changwan nodded without hesitation and said with a smile, "I'll give the order!" ”

Zhong Chi sent him to the gate of the courtyard, but saw that Chang Shi Ran ran close and handed over a post, saying: "The post sent by the eldest lady of Liu Xiangfu, on the first day of the next lunar month, Liu Da Niang and Wang Erlang will pay a tribute and invite Zhong Niangzi to Liu Xiangfu to watch the ceremony and go to the banquet!" ”

Zhong Chi Chi took the post and glanced at it, said "oh", threw it back into Ran Du's hand, and turned back.

Ran Du looked at Li Changdui in confusion, is this going or not? He has to talk back to Liu Xiangfu!

"Go back to Mrs. Liu first, and say that Mrs. Zhong will go-" Li Changdui said softly, "When the time comes, if Mrs. Zhong has something to delay, just send someone to say it temporarily!" ”

Ran should be down.

Li Changwan took two steps and asked, "Liu Xiangfu only invited Zhong Niangzi alone?" ”

Ran Du said: "Yes! The post sent by the Chengen Mansion is to invite His Royal Highness and the lady to go together! Would Your Highness want a reply? ”

Li Changdui glanced back and said, "Refuse!" ”

……

Zhong Chi received such an invitation, to be honest, there was no fluctuation in his heart.

I didn't want to go, and I didn't want to go.

Such a boring thing is not worth thinking about so long in advance, who knows if she will remember it at that time, whether she is free, and whether she is in the mood to go to such a banquet?

The most important thing for her now now, in addition to improving her witchcraft, are the two things she just spent money to explain to Ouyang Xu.

After all, Qiao Yu's incident was far away in Shizhou, and there was no response for a while, but the matter of the water bandits quickly came to an end.

A surprising result.

"All dead?" Zhong Chi Chi said in surprise.

"Yes!" Ouyang Xu got up and walked to the window, opening the window facing the street, so that the private room would not be too stuffy, "We found the body downstream of the Guangtong Canal, near Tongguan——"

"There are a total of twenty-seven bandits, all of whom were killed by the blades and then sank into the water!"

Zhong Chi Chi took a sip of the warm teacup in his hand, digesting the news without saying a word.

Ouyang Xu walked back to the table, sat down, and continued: "The bodies of these bandits have been salvaged by the Jingzhao Mansion, but due to the fact that they have been soaked in the water for some time and the hot weather, the corpses cannot be preserved, and their faces cannot be recognized, so they can only be burned on the spot!" ”

"If it's unrecognizable, how can it be proven that it's the gang?" Zhong Chi asked.

Ouyang Xu said: "The clothes brought back were identified by the Jinyuan County Uncle, and the number of people is matched, it can be confirmed that it is the gang of bandits who escorted the stolen goods to the Jin Manor on the outskirts of the city on the fifteenth day of last month!" ”

"According to the uncle of Jinyuan County, the dress of that gang of bandits is suspected to be from the Shuzhou area, but she has not seen this gang of bandits in Shuzhou!"

Zhong Chichi frowned and said, "After saying so much, did you find out anything?" "It's the result that counts! She's not here to listen to the process!

Ouyang Xu smiled slightly and said, "If you come empty-handed, you don't dare to meet the lady!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a delicate and small beaded flower from his arms.

This is a hairpin in the sideburns of the beads, with soybean-sized beads, each round and moist, equal size, the most rare is that this bead flower is made of extremely rare pink pearls.

The preciousness of this pearl flower can be seen at a glance, but what does this have to do with those water bandits?

Ouyang Xu didn't sell it, handed her the bead flower, and explained: "This bead flower was found by one of the bandits, and it came from the hand of the famous Luoyang craftsman Jin Yin-"

"We found the gold and silver mistake, and after inquiry, we learned that this pearl flower was made by the old lady of the Sun family, the patriarch of Luoyang Wang, for her granddaughter!"

Zhong Chichi's heart moved: "Who is her granddaughter?" ”

Ouyang Xu smiled slightly and said a name.

"Is that her?" Zhong Chi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

After thinking about it, I still felt incredible, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

Ouyang Xu shook his head: "That's all I sent today, after all, it's a famous lady, and it's inconvenient to go to the bottom." ”

Zhong Chi met his gaze and nodded.

This means that she is going to find out for herself.

Ouyang Xu said with a smile: "Since I couldn't find out to the end, according to the rules of Qiandeng Pavilion, the full amount should be compensated three times, and I will have people send the compensation to the Jiangling Palace!" ”

Zhong Chi Chi glanced at him strangely, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you also hear that I was short of silver?" ”

Ouyang Xu Wan'er smiled and changed the topic: "Today, Liu Xiang's only daughter will accept the ceremony, and most of the nobles in Chang'an will be invited to Liu Xiang's Mansion to watch the banquet!" ”

Zhong was stunned, she had an impression of this matter, but-

Looking out the window at the sky: "Is this over?" ”

"The conscription should be over, and the luncheon usually begins at noon, and there is still half an hour left."

That's okay, I still have time to go back and look for the invitation, I hope it hasn't been thrown away by Randu......
