Chapter 135: Holy Drive

Chapter 135: Holy Drive

Mosquito repellent incense is burned in the small incense burner of Ssangronane, and the cigarette smoke on the stove fills every corner of the room with a faint smell of camphor.

But Qin Tian's nose was filled with the kind of manly smell mixed with the fragrance of tea that belonged to Zhuang Xinyan, and this breath was more fresh because of the smell of bath soap and pancreas.

Somehow, Qin Tian's heart suddenly sped up.

Feeling that his arms were getting tighter and tighter, Qin Tianxia subconsciously struggled, and he didn't do much to entangle and put her down.

Qin Tian lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. I felt that there seemed to be his body temperature still on his body, and it was hot.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw him neatly climb onto the table and take the tent from her hand, Qin Tian also had to be embarrassed, and looked over with his movements, but saw that he was looking at herself, shaking the tent in her hand at the same time, she understood that he was asking her what to do.

Qin Tian pointed to the beam of the roof, a small iron hook hung down from the beam, Qin Tian said: "Hang the top of the tent on the iron hook." ”

Zhuang Xinyan looked at the tent and didn't understand what it meant, he had never seen anyone hang up the account like this, and he didn't know the medicine sold in her gourd for a while, but he still did as she said, others have long legs, and they can do it by stretching their arms.

Seeing him hanging up the tent easily, Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh, how could she not know that he was afraid that he was in danger, she thought to herself, in fact, Zhuang Xinyan is not a bad person......

After hanging the tent, he clapped his hands and jumped off the table. He looked at the hanging tent with questions on his face.

Qin Tian smiled, quickly moved the table, restored the floor, and then pressed the hanging tent under the floor, which was a simple mosquito net. He insisted on sleeping on the floor, and his blood attracted mosquitoes, so he had no choice but to come up with such a solution, which she had changed from a ready-made account, although it was not good-looking, but it worked

"So that you won't be bitten by mosquitoes again," Qin Tian motioned for him to go in and give it a try.

Zhuang Xinyan lay in, Qin Tian helped him take care of the mosquito net, and through the mosquito net, Zhuang Xinyan looked at Qin Tian's hazy smiling face, and his heart throbbed.

He went to a tea shop in the afternoon, and when he came back, he heard Bilian say that the young grandmother hid in the room and did the needlework for an afternoon, and Zhuang Xinyan looked at the unneat stitches on the gauze tent and knew that this was the result of her spending an afternoon. Her needlework has always been bad, and usually his sewing and mending are done by Bilian and other maids, but probably because she is afraid that others will know the purpose of the yarn tent, so she does it herself.

And all her hard work is because of him.

When she was tidying up, her slender jade fingers reached through the gap in the mosquito net, and Zhuang Xinyan impulsively held her hand gently, but after a while, he let go again.

His heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to face her reaction, and turned his back to her.

Outside the tent, Qin Tian was still stunned, the hand he had shaken was like an electric shock, there was a feeling of numbness, and she found that she didn't seem to hate it.

In the next few days, Qin Tian and Fang Jianshu began to rehearse again and again, Zhuang Xinyan accompanied him every time, watching them discuss and cooperate with each other, it was very harmonious, and the titles of the two slowly changed with the increasing familiarity, from the beginning of "Fang Gongzi", "Young Grandma", "Young Master", to the later "Jianshu", "Qin Tian" and "Xinyan", in Qin Tian's words, it is this kind of false etiquette that is too foreign, and it doesn't hurt to be in front of people.

Zhuang Xinyan couldn't wait for them to get better and better, but seeing that Qin Tian was full of interest, he didn't want to make her unhappy about such a trivial matter. It's just that every time Fang Jianshu called "Qin Tian" Zhuang Xinyan, he shot it with a knife in the eye, Fang Jianshu was not a dull person, and over time, he avoided calling her name in front of Zhuang Xinyan, and Zhuang Xinyan's gaze softened. Fang Jianshu breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Nicholas Tse's mother, Mrs. Xie, also officially went to the banker's house to kiss. Although the second aunt is in charge of the inner house, the marriage of the children must still go through the eldest wife. Although the eldest lady was surprised that the Xie family would fall in love with one of their own concubines, since it was a matter of mutual affection, the eldest lady was not embarrassed, and quickly set a good day after the beginning of spring next year. The second aunt's wife was happy and publicized the matter, which was very majestic in the circle of businesswomen in Yangcheng.

And Zhuang Ming was happy to see that Nicholas Tse did not hesitate to settle a relationship with himself when he learned that Qin Tian was married, and felt that he had regained face, and he began to prepare for marriage with peace of mind.

At the beginning of May, the holy car descended on Yangcheng.

The day before the arrival of the holy car, Nicholas Tse's entourage Lin Yongdi heard that Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan had contacted Governor Song, although he didn't know what the two sides were talking about, it was conceivable that it was related to this competition. Nicholas Tse hurriedly revealed this time to Zhuang Xinchuan to know. Zhuang Xinchuan was shocked, and immediately informed Governor Hu of the matter. Because of this, I feel that Nicholas Tse is a trustworthy person.

On the first day of the Holy Journey, the emperor will meet with the hundred officials in the city, and in the following days, the emperor will summon officials at all levels and their relatives according to the arrangement. On the fourth day, Qin Tian, Zhuang Xinyan and Fang Jianshu entered the emperor's palace in Yangcheng under the arrangement of the governor of Song.

The three of them got out of the car at the side gate and followed the guards arranged by Governor Song into the palace.

The palace was full of guards with weapons in their hands, and the metal armor glowed coldly in the sun, lining their cold expressions, giving people a sense of forest.

The three of them didn't dare to look around, so they lowered their heads and followed behind the guards, and came to a small courtyard to the west of the palace.

Governor Song was waiting for them there, and when he saw them coming in, he said: "You wait here for a while, and after I show it to the emperor, I will send someone to lead you over, you can rest and walk around in the courtyard, but you must not go out of this courtyard, otherwise if something happens, I will not be able to protect you." ”

Qin Tian said yes repeatedly, but she didn't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that today's Governor Song seemed to be much more polite than the last time she saw her.

After Governor Song left, the three of them sat in the house, Qin Tian checked the utensils from time to time, Fang Jianshu kept wiping the piano with his sleeves, Zhuang Xinyan seemed the calmest with his eyes closed, but his hands tightly clasped on his knees revealed his nervousness.

The room was quiet, but this silence was particularly depressing everyone's nerves.

Who can see the emperor for the first time and be completely relaxed? Qin Tian could understand their mood at this time, but he also knew that it would not work if it went on like this, and being too nervous would affect the performance of the meeting. You have to find a way to decompress everyone.

Qin Tian thought about it, then stood up, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I'll give you a riddle to guess, one of you is well-read, and the other has just been admitted to Xiucai, presumably you will not be stumped by the little woman's puzzle." ”

Her words immediately attracted the attention of the two, and seeing her defiant, they couldn't help but become interested.

"Watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin, winter melon can be eaten, but melon can't be eaten?" Qin Tian asked with a smile.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, thinking carefully that there are those kinds of melons that can't be eaten, but after thinking about it, they can't think of melons that can't be eaten, but whatever is called a melon is either a fruit or a vegetable, how can there be anything that can't be eaten.

The two looked at Qin Tian with a questioning expression, Qin Tian was very proud, and said the answer to the riddle: "It's a fool who can't eat it"

I didn't expect it to be such a mystery, the two looked at each other, shook their heads, and laughed.

Seeing that they were slowly relaxing, Qin Tian made persistent efforts: "People don't see doctors when they're sick? ”

One of the two said, "Poor,"

One wrote: "Just a minor fault with the person." ”

Qin Tian shook his head and smiled, "That's not right. ”

The two of them continued to meditate again, but Qin Tian came up with brain teasers, this kind of riddle was the most tricky, people who were used to traditional riddles couldn't turn their minds for a while, but it was precisely because they were distracted that they gradually forgot about their tension and fear, and their mood was relaxed, Qin Tian wanted this result.

Seeing that they couldn't guess back and forth, Qin Tian had a sense of accomplishment, and revealed the mystery with a smile: "It's blind" After speaking, he stroked his palms and laughed, and his bright smile made the two of them dizzy for a while.

Just when the atmosphere in the room was at its most relaxed, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, as if a large number of people were coming towards this side.

Zhuang Xinyan and Fang Jianshu restrained their smiles at the same time, stood in front of them, and naturally protected Qin Tian in the middle. Zhuang Xinyan turned his head and glanced at Fang Jianshu lightly, Fang Jianshu lowered his head, and hurriedly left Qin Tian's side to look at the door.

But he heard the guard guarding the door shouting: "Your Excellency the Governor"

All three were startled at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the Governor, dressed in official uniform, accompanied by a man dressed as a eunuch with a whisk in his hand, strode in surrounded by a group of guards.

After entering, there were guards standing in the doorway with their guns crossed, as if to prevent anyone from breaking in.

Qin Tian and the three of them all knew the relationship between the governor and the prefect, and when they saw this formation, their hearts were not good.

The Governor first glanced at the three of them gloomily, and then put on a calm face and said to the person who seemed to be a eunuch next to him: "Gonggong Liu, this is the tea merchant brought by Governor Song, although Governor Song has good intentions, but this official thinks that since it is something presented to the emperor, it must be checked carefully." ”

Gonggong Liu nodded, his face full of seriousness: "Governor Lin is right. The things presented to the emperor must be cautious," After speaking, he stepped forward and carefully checked the tea-making utensils that Qin Tian had brought.

Qin Tian and the three of them waited on the side, if it was really just a check, they were not afraid. Just stared closely at Gonggong Liu's movements.

But at this moment, Governor Lin suddenly stepped forward and picked up the white porcelain tea caddy containing a frightening fragrance.

Qin Tian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward. You must know that this time they came in just for a show, so they only brought in such a jar of tea, and if something went wrong, they wouldn't have enough time to go back and get it.

Qin Tian walked to Governor Lin's side not far away, and a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on the tea caddy in his hand. Zhuang Xinyan and Fang Jianshu also followed, both with cautious looks.

But he saw Governor Lin open the lid of the tea, looked at the light carefully, and then raised his eyes to Qin Tian and asked, "This is the tea you offered?" ”
