Volume 2: Cinnabar on the Heart Chapter 208 The Hibiscus Garden of the Third Master
Shangguan Jingyu and Su Yan made hands-off shopkeepers, and Hairun and Shangguan Zhiyuan were not idle.
After the dinner, although Hairun was drunk, he was only slightly drunk. His massive amount can actually be compared with ordinary people, and when Shangguan Zhiyuan returned to the mansion with Hairun, Hairun sobered up.
"Master is not drunk?" Shangguan Zhiyuan frowned.
"If I'm drunk, if I miss Ah Jing's good show, how can I get it?" Hairun got up and poured a glass of water, but he did have a little headache, "You go and pour me some sobering soup." ”
Shangguan Zhiyuan nodded, went out quickly, and came back with a decanting soup after a short time.
Sure that there was no one outside, he walked to Hairun's side and sat around the round table, "Master, will my sister be okay?" I don't feel at ease when I do things without makeup. ”
"Do you believe your sister?" Hairun asked.
Shangguan Zhiyuan nodded, "Naturally, I believe it." ”
"Isn't that the end of it?" Hai Run smiled, "Since you believe in Ajing, then what do you care about without makeup?" Since Ah Jing is relieved to be without makeup, you just have to put your whole heart in your stomach. You believe in Ah Jing, nothing else. ”
Thinking about it, it made sense, Shangguan Zhiyuan nodded, "En." But my sister's ......"
"Naturally, there is a way to mobilize manpower without makeup." Hairun didn't say anything, and drank the decanting soup in one gulp, "Remember, pretend to be a little bit when the time comes." Since your sister has entrusted this matter to us, don't let anything go wrong. ”
Shangguan Zhiyuan hesitated, "But is the news brought by Su Yan reliable?" Is the account book really in the treasury? ”
"The treasury is the important land of the Jade Dragon Mansion, although I am a waiter, I have no right to interfere in the daily affairs of the local mansion, and I have no way to enter the treasury. Only when a large amount of official money is used can the treasury be opened. What's more......" Hai Run chuckled, a little self-deprecating, "I also want to taste what Ah Jing said, what it's like to make money on corrupt officials." ”
"I guess it's the taste of shedding a layer of skin." Shangguan Zhiyuan said, "Since you are willing to be greedy, you are naturally stingy." I don't know how much silver my sister will ask. ”
"Your sister hasn't seen anything, and it's not the first time she's cheated on someone." As soon as he finished saying this, Shangguan Zhiyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was slightly sick.
Seeing this, Hairun hurriedly said, "The matter of ten thousand taels of rouge has spread throughout the entire Eastern Capital." ”
Shangguan Zhiyuan's lips tightened, "That was Nian Yuying's own trouble, and she was also looking for her sister's trouble, and she didn't weigh her own weight." Another day, I will definitely look good in the New Year. ”
"The Nian family is not fuel-efficient, wait, your father hasn't made a move yet, what are you anxious about." Hairun chuckled twice, "Okay, you go and rest for a while, I'll wait for the news." ”
"Without news from my sister, how dare I sleep peacefully." Shangguan Zhiyuan walked towards the desk, "Let's help Master look at the account books!" ”
"Ah Jing has said that these are all false accounts, and it's useless to watch them, why don't you drink two glasses with me?" Hairun laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Zhiyuan immediately frowned, "Master forgot the three chapters of the covenant?" ”
"This frowning virtue is exactly the same as Ah Jing, no wonder it is a brother and sister. Okay, okay, I know, quit drinking, three chapters of the law. Hairun pulled his lips boringly, "You kid is good at everything, but one is not good, dead eyes!" Admit death! I'm already an old stubborn, but I don't want to bring an apprentice, and I'm also stubborn. Alas...... Time is also fate! ”
Shangguan Zhiyuan looked at the candle flame that was flickering steadily, "Admit death, what's wrong!" I think, it's good. ”
Hairun was slightly stunned, looked at his appearance thoughtfully, and was silent.
At dawn, the two ransom letters exploded like a bomb in the government.
But the first thing Hairun did was to block the news.
Don't talk about this news in the Jade Dragon Mansion, it is extremely difficult to even leave the mansion.
"Whoever dares to divulge half a point is to take the lives of Shangshu Gongzi and the little girl as child's play. Hairun has only such a daughter, whoever takes my daughter's life will take my life! Hairun felt that it was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a categorical official power!
Amitabha, thanks to Ah Jing.
Finally tasted the taste of crushing people to death at the level of the official university!
Sure enough, this is how the world is practiced, corrupt officials are greedy, and clean officials must be even more greedy; Corrupt officials are evil, and clean officials must be even more evil, so that they can repay their bodies in their own way.
The entire Jade Dragon Mansion began to raise for these two million taels of gold.
And on the other side of Ganzhou, Xiao Dongli was already standing in front of the hibiscus garden.
The courtyard is still the same, and the personnel are not the same.
I've been away here for a while, why do I come back now, but I feel quite bleak? Oh...... You can walk freely before leaving, and you can only sit in a wheelchair when you return, so it's no wonder that the threshold is a little higher.
Xiao Dongli pulled his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, looking down at his knees.
"Third master, do you want to go in?" Qingmo asked.
The servants had already begun to carry their luggage, and he half-turned his face to look at Qingmo behind him, "What about others?" ”
"It has been arranged in Wufu Building, the third master just rest assured, there will be no mistakes, they are all lowly henchmen." Qingmo replied in a low voice.
He nodded, "Then go in!" ”
Qingmo pushed Xiao Dong into the hibiscus garden, it was winter now, and the hibiscus flowers in the hibiscus garden had already withered. In the long corridor, it is full of withering and bleak scenes.
Coughing lightly, Xiao Dong pulled away from the big dan on his lap, "The flowers are all gone." ”
"Third master, it will be opened next year." Qingmo whispered.
Xiao Dongli laughed dryly, "You still use you to coax me when I am a three-year-old child?" ”
Qingmo smiled rarely, "The third master said with a smile. ”
The roses in the backyard had already withered, but when he passed through the corridor, Xiao Dongli looked at it with a smile for a long time. After returning from the Eastern Capital, his mood was no longer as gloomy as it was in the past, and the gloom between his eyebrows always gradually dissipated inadvertently.
A carrier pigeon flew across the sky, and Qingmo suddenly flew away, quickly catching the carrier pigeon with the momentum of wind and thunder. Remove the small bamboo stick on the pigeon's ankle and hand it to Xiao Dongli with both hands.
Xiao Dongli gently pulled out the letter with his fingertips, glanced at it and chuckled, his face overflowing with a rare gentle color, "It's nonsense." ”
"Third master, what's wrong? What happened? Qingmo was stunned.
Xiao Dongli smiled faintly, "It's not Ah Jing yet, she was all taken away without makeup, and she did this kidnapping business, and she is not afraid of losing her own identity." ”
Qingmo breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Shangguan must have her own plans. ”
"Let it be! It's time to go through the experience. Xiao Dongli half-hung his eyebrows, and under the sun, the gold ornaments on his forehead shone thousands of miles, reflecting his perfect facial contours, teaching people to be reluctant to look away for a while. He smiled bitterly, "If you blindly protect her, I won't be there one day......" He lowered his voice, like a mosquito and a fly, as if only he could hear it, "What should she do?" ”
Qingmo was silent.
"Third master, there will always be a way, no matter what incurable diseases, there will be a solution." After a long time, Qingmo said.
Can the knot in the heart be solved, the disease can be solved, and the will of God can be solved?
With a light sigh, no one said anything more.
Around evening, Xiao Dongli was pruning the stumps of hibiscus flowers in the yard, and Qingmo walked quickly, "Third master, the eleventh prince is here, and people are already outside the mansion gate at this moment." ”
With a "card rub", the scissors in his hand had just cut off a stump branch, and the long eyelashes covered the brilliance in his eyes. Handing the scissors to Qingmo, Xiao Dongli slowly raised his head, his ink hair hanging lightly, swaying in the wind.
Following his line of sight, the noise came here intermittently from the doorway.
Every time Uncle Eleven comes over, he always has to make a fuss.
He was in Ganzhou for three years, without exception.
"Let's go to the flower hall!" Xiao Dong left the mouth.
Qingmo bowed his head and pushed him towards the flower hall.
When he arrived at the flower hall, before the eleventh prince arrived, Xiao Dongli asked Qingmo to prepare a sobering soup. These eleven princes don't need to prepare tea and snacks wherever they go, what they need is decanting soup.
In the past three years, I seem to be used to it.
"Third master, this eleventh prince is here, the county lord of Yuanyang ......" Qingmo hesitated, "Xu is also following!" She hasn't seen the third master for a long time, and I'm afraid she will be very enthusiastic. ”
Xiao Dongli glanced at him, Qingmo blinked and took two steps back.
"The meaning of the humble position is that the county lord of Yuanyang can clearly understand your thoughts and even the humble position, if you are pretending to be stupid, you may not be able to stay in Ganzhou. Let alone...... In the eastern capital, the matter of the third master's refusal to marry is afraid that it has already been spread. If this Yuanyang County Lord knows, he will inevitably misunderstand, I'm afraid it's ......"
Xiao Dongli coughed lightly twice, "Although Xiao Yue, this girl has a lot of thoughts, but she ......"
Before the words fell, a house slave hurriedly came over, "Master, no, the eleventh prince fell in the front hall, and now he is still lying on the ground and has not gotten up." ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Dongli glanced at Qingmo, and Qingmo immediately pushed the wheelchair out.
However, before the two of them reached the front hall, they already smelled a strong smell of wine, which was exclusive to the eleventh prince. Sure enough, Xiao Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a figure staggering in front of him.
Eleven princes, Xiao Zan.
