Chapter Eighty-Six: Daughter-in-law
Xiao Ran kept watching Zhuang Xuewen really leave, and after the surroundings were safe, he let the guards continue to drive the car, he handed over the horse to the guards, and entered the carriage himself.
Looking at the little county king who was hanging the ghost head jade pendant, but couldn't buckle the copper buckle on it for a long time, Xiao Ran sat down and helped him buckle it.
"Your Highness, it was very dangerous just now." After buttoning it up, he sat up straight and said solemnly.
Chu Xia leaned back and said cynically: "Of course I know, but if you make a move, how can I continue to talk to him." ”
"His subordinates are afraid, His Highness doesn't need to show weakness to him." Xiao Ran said seriously, it was quite dangerous just now, and Zhuang Xuewen did have killing intent.
Chu Xia turned sideways and looked at him lazily, "That person doesn't get a drop of water, except for this jade pendant and Zhuang Rou, there is no other way to get close to him." No, it's because it's us, so there's no way to get close to him, and for others, he's a good talker. ”
"But today I have an answer, and I finally have an explanation, I don't want him to be so close to me again. Tomorrow, you can go and pick up Zhuang Rou out, it's none of her business, just check on such a trivial matter as a sin girl, and you don't need her to squat there. ”
"Yes." Xiao Ran answered and withdrew from the carriage, rode back to his horse and escorted Chu Xia to the palace.
It was late at night, Tong Yu leaned against the door of a closed pharmacy on the side of the street, looked up at the stars in the sky, held a few silver tickets in his fingers, and inserted them with his back to the crack in the door.
"Thanks, I'll keep an eye on what's going on over there." An old man behind the door took the silver ticket, received it and whispered in his arms, this person is the doctor of the Teaching Workshop Division.
Tong Yu seemed to say to herself: "If you want to buy information again, I will come to you." ”
"Well, that's goodbye." The old doctor took the silver ticket and quietly withdrew, and there was no more than half a person in the room.
And Tong Yu also rubbed his neck, walked slowly on the street, and soon mixed in with the crowd of late returnees on the street.
When the little county king came out of the palace, Xiao Ran whispered as soon as he got into the carriage: "Your Highness, Zhuang Rou was arranged to Feng Jingshui after we left. ”
"What!" Chu Xia stood up suddenly, hit his head on the roof of the car, and immediately sat down again with his head in his hands. After a while, he asked with some grievances: "Do you think Zhuang Xuewen thinks that a woman's innocence is important, or is it important to be beaten half to death?" ”
Xiao Ran said speechlessly: "Your Highness, Zhuang Rou was only slightly injured and was whipped. Feng Jingshui's condition was a little bad, and it was said that he was covered in blood when he came out, but it was not clear what was going on. ”
"Don't we have any of them in the Workshop Division or the Imperial Horse Warden?" Chu Xia was very helpless, there was no energy to arrange manpower in a small place like the Teaching Workshop Division, and it was difficult to buy the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Prison, and it was really difficult to do things if there was a lack of people and money.
"But she's really powerful, she can only be whipped on the perverted hands of Feng Jingshui." He smacked his lips and said, the woman was the first to strike, and she did it before Feng Jingshui could react.
At this time, Xiao Ran said again: "Your Highness, after that, Feng Jingshui gave Zhuang Rou a treasure knife, which was the nine-star red created by Master Yi three years ago. ”
Chu Xia raised her eyebrows, and actually gave her Jiuxinghong? It's just a meeting, and I can give away something worth a thousand taels of gold, and I bought it now!
The nine-star red is the proud work of the construction master Yi Lao, which was originally built according to the requirements of the previous emperor, and was intended to be given to the foreign princess who came to kiss, but he didn't expect the knife to die just after it was built.
Not long after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, there was no princess who was close to him, so the knife was placed here by Yi Lao, and the royal family did not give money, so he could only take it out and sell it.
It's a pity that the asking price is too high and it's not practical, no one buys it, and there are few women who play with knives and guns, and there is really no fool who is willing to give such a valuable thing.
Chu Xia was silent for a long time and muttered, "It's just a eunuch......"
"Alright, let's go back." He waved his hand and said, it seems that Zhuang Rou is fine, as long as Zhuang Xuewen doesn't come to him because of this, then there will be no problem. That man was so arrogant that if he rushed over to ask for a second sin for such a trivial matter, it would be really flawed.
"Yes." Xiao Ran responded and retreated, the capital could no longer go out, but the little county king had more than one residence, so he drove to another courtyard.
At the same time, Tong Yu stood aside obediently, looking at Zhuang Xuewen who was sitting in the private room of the restaurant, his fingers lightly tapping on the table, waiting for his orders.
"Nine-Star Red ......" Zhuang Xuewen chuckled, "Tong Yu, go and bring the pen and ink." ”
Tong Yu answered, opened the window a crack, and instructed the people who were guarding outside. After a while, pen, ink and paper arrived.
Taking the tray with pen and ink, Tong Yu laid out the paper on the table, poured some water and began to grind the ink.
Zhuang Xuewen smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked up the pen with his left hand and dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a beautiful line, and after the ink dried, he folded it and put it in an envelope and gave it to Tong Yu, "Send someone to Feng Jingshui, don't use the people in the palace." ”
"The little one understands." Tong Yu took the envelope with both hands, carefully put it in the hidden pocket in his arms, and then withdrew.
Zhuang Xuewen played with the wine glass and smiled, "Since you like to play so much, then I'll give you a favor." ”
Zhuang Rou was not in Douhu County, and he didn't have to go back to the small house, so he let Mo Zuo live alone. Originally, when the house was bought, it was so that Mo Zuo could easily climb over the wall and go home when he came back, and now it is just right for him to live alone until sixteen.
And that bet naturally has to continue, Zhuang Xuewen doesn't want to take Zhuang Rou back, otherwise he will cheapen Mo Zuo's guy.
Mo Zuo guarded a table of gifts, waiting for Zhuang Rou to come back, and Zhuang Xuewen had better not come. Looking at the fabrics and jewelry on the table that he thought were good, as well as the knick-knacks that girls liked, he felt that Zhuang Rou would definitely be very happy. As long as you accept your own wishes, you don't agree to the marriage!
There were several pieces of magenta as the base color, and this was the most beautiful color he thought, and the girl should wear a red and purple dress. Although none of the sisters in the family seem to like to wear this color, he really thinks it is good. Huang Cancan's golden head, wearing it must be called a rich and gorgeous, Mo Zuo remembers very clearly, many of his sisters-in-law love this kind of thing.
The itchy scratches of ivory carvings, the embroidered bandages inlaid with gold and silver, according to the shopkeepers, are very popular with the girls, and the bamboo bandages are common goods for the poor. Anyway, the shopkeeper said that the girl liked everything, and he packed it back, and bought it to the rich and gorgeous in order to show his sincerity.
"Why haven't you come back, have you been taken to the capital?" Mo Zuo has been holding his hands and waiting for a long time, the delicacies he specially ordered are cold, and if he doesn't come back for dinner, forget it, why is it time to go to bed now, and still no half of the people have come back?
He felt that this was a bit bad, how could the girl run outside for so long, the old man was going to come back after drinking the flower wine at this hour.
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Mo Zuo turned out the fake beard and put it back on, and in order to show the face that the brothers in the military camp praised before, he deliberately took the fake beard. Now that I'm going out to look for my wife, I naturally posted it back again, and it would be troublesome to be recognized.
After packing up, he went out on horseback to find someone.
Zhuang Xuewen made an appointment with a few more classmates in the restaurant, eating, drinking, chatting and chatting until midnight, and then rode home slowly, just got off the horse when he arrived at the door, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the wall, took his hand and asked unceremoniously: "I said where did you go, I was almost asleep!" What about your sister? ”
"Huh?" Zhuang Xuewen raised his eyes to look at him, and immediately smiled, "Why did you come to me without sleeping in the middle of the night?" ”
Mo Zuo asked angrily, "What about your sister?" ”
Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly, "She has business to do, so she won't come back for a few days, you stay at home, go to see your old mother often if you have nothing to do, don't run around all day." ”
"I've gone to find the broken county office, but there is no one at all, what business? I actually want to send a girl out all night and don't come back, you are her brother who doesn't care, and you let her mess around like this, what if she is taken advantage of, that's my daughter-in-law! ”
"She went to the Teaching Division, and she has to investigate the case there for a few days, and it's useless for you to go. It's too late tonight, let her rest early, and you can go to her tomorrow. By the way, it's Xiaorou, Mother Xia's new arrival, and she knows it as soon as she says it, but Gonggong Feng doesn't let her pick up outsiders now, and a nameless and powerless guy like you probably won't let you see her. Zhuang Xuewen said calmly, pulled out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and wanted to enter the door.
Mo Zuo looked at him stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he grabbed Zhuang Xuewen's wrist fiercely, gritted his teeth and asked, "Teaching Division?" Which bastard let her go! Even picked up customers, how can you do this, what kind of bastard is Gonggong Feng, I will break his neck! ”
Zhuang Xuewen said with a smile: "Imperial Horse Supervisor Bingbi Eunuch Feng Jingshui, you can twist if you want, I won't stand in your way." ”
"Him?" Mo Zuo's eyes flashed, "That's right, when I decided to return to Beijing in the army, I would go to meet how powerful this No. 1 master in the inner world was." ”
"Are you talking about going back to Beijing now?" Zhuang Xuewen reminded that this fool will not forget that he is not a general now, but just a person who disappeared in the war of the enemy army and has been condemned to be killed in battle.
The mention of this made people annoying, and Mo Zuo snorted, "As long as no one botheres, you will definitely be able to defeat him within a hundred rounds." Since I'm going to look for him in the palace tonight, I'll take my daughter-in-law out, and I'll teach the workshop where people stay. You're so inhuman! ”
Zhuang Xuewen looked at him and smiled, "She has a task on her body, and she won't go with you." If you don't mind, don't marry, go back and marry a docile and virtuous lady, just to save trouble. ”
"Phew! Whoever sent her, I'm going to break his neck now! Mo Zuo scolded again, if you can't do it, you will wash the Douhu County Ya in blood, and kill all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials inside to eliminate harm for the people!
"The emperor's cronies, the gentlemen who don't want to play with them, the little son of the eldest princess's family, the king of Yinde County. It is also the county order of Douhu County, and it happens to be Xiaorou's boss, it should be convenient to find him, you take care. Zhuang Xuewen responded casually, and said it very carefully.
Mo Zuo looked at him inexplicably, "Is my daughter-in-law a member of the Divine Falcon Gate, or a secret guard of the Imperial Gate?" ”
Zhuang Xuewen suddenly smiled brightly, "It's not, it's just a small catch in an ordinary small county office, usually fish and meat the villagers, grab a few handfuls of stall goods and collect miscellaneous taxes." ”
"Liar!" Mo Zuocai didn't believe that who was involved in this, and he should be arrested!
"No, I'm going to go to the Teaching Workshop Division to rest assured, you guys are so unreasonable! The horse borrowed it, and just came back over the wall, and the horse was thrown outside. He snatched Zhuang Xuewen's horse, turned over and ran away.
Zhuang Xuewen didn't stop him, just smiled slightly.
