Chapter 311: Egg-faced Kitten
Deng Xuan received the letter and the rosewood box, and then said goodbye to Yushu and left.
Yushu originally wanted to keep Deng for dinner, but seeing that she seemed to be busy with a lot of things, she gave up. Man Li has not returned to Kyoto for many years, and Yushu plans to take her and Zhang to the Yunlai Hotel tomorrow to see the changes in Kyoto over the years.
Baili seemed to know Yushu's intentions, and after the ya, Yunlai Hotel bought a steaming salt-and-pepper roast duck for Yushu. Yushu raised her eyebrows and instructed Daxi to make good slices of roast duck and send half of them to the inner house to taste fresh for Manli.
Xie Jiulang just went to Luming Mountain for a spin, but Bailiji seemed to have been separated from him for many years.
"Ninth brother, are you tired on the road? Tired of coming back? Why don't I come to see you tomorrow and have a good rest? The two of them sat in the flower hall, facing a table full of good wine and food, and asked with great care.
Today is not the end, but I am still thinking about coming tomorrow. Eighty percent of stupid dog owners have no home. Ah Leopard, who was accompanying him, lay on the cushion with his little paws together, and glanced at him coldly with his little mouth pursed.
The corners of Yushu's lips curled slightly, "Brother Eleven, you made this trip just to tell me this?" ”
Baili Ji let out a long sigh, "Am I not worried about you?" ”
"Worried?" Yushu asked a rhetorical question unclear.
Baili nodded solemnly and said: "You have to pass through Luming Mountain to enter Beijing, I am worried that you and Hua Xiangxuan will collide, what should I do if he is looking for trouble for you......" Before the ya, someone from the palace informed Dali Temple and the Criminal Department of the news that Hua Xiangxuan had arrived in Kyoto.
Bailiji didn't take it seriously at first, and when he was waiting for the roast duck to come out of the oven at the Yunlai Hotel, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. Hua Xiangxuan didn't come to Kyoto to compete with Xie Jiulang, right?
It's Hua Xiangxuan again. Hua Xiangxuan's name was constantly mentioned by different people, and Yushu's ears were cocooned.
"Brother Eleven, I really ran into him." Yushu smiled and sandwiched a piece of salt-and-pepper roast duck for Bailiji.
"Huh? Did he embarrass you? Baili Ji shook off his toothbrush and grabbed Xie Jiulang's shoulder and looked back and forth.
Yushu leaned back, staggered Baili's hand, and complained, "Brother Eleven, what are you doing?" ”
"What else can you do, see if you get hurt!" A piece of kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Xie Jiulang, and Baili was extremely aggrieved.
"Hua Xiangxuan has only brought three people, and there are one or twenty guards in Qianniu Wei plus my house, how can he hurt me?" Yushu stroked the placket that had been crumpled by Bailiji, crying and laughing.
"That's right." Baili picked up his toothbrush in a daze, swept the corner of his eyes to the kitten whose face was sinking like water, and asked Xie Jiulang in great confusion, "Why does your leopard have a long face when he sees me back?" Does it not like me? ”
Baili was extremely sad when he realized it later. He loves kittens and always says good things for them in front of others. But in exchange for the kitten's cold and indifferent, even a little resentful eyes.
"No, you're thinking too much." Yushu hurriedly covered up for Ah Leopard, "It's fat, not for your face." ”
A leopard everyone likes it, but they don't like Bailiji. Because he is the owner of a stupid dog.
Baili Ji was skeptical, "Really? Can a round face still be fat and grow a face? ”
"Brother Eleven, Ah Leopard has a goose egg face, not a long face or a round face." Yushu was talking nonsense, and at the same time, she kept giving Baili Ji vegetables to cover up her weakness.
"Kittens are all round faces, how can they have goose egg faces?" Baili muttered in a low voice. Retracting his gaze from Ah Leopard's face, he looked down and saw that the plate was full of delicious food, and he was startled, "Ninth brother, don't patronize me, you can eat too." ”
Finally covered the stubble of Ah Leopard. Yushu said yes, and let out a long breath.
The leopard with his little paws shook his head impatiently. When will its fish be served, and has Daxi forgotten to do it? If you forget, replace it with cow's milk. It's not very hungry either, just drink some milk pads to pad its stomach.
Ah Leopard squinted and searched blindly, and the familiar smell of burnt wafted into the flower hall. A leopard's yellow eyes lit up.
Here it comes! Here it comes!
The maidservant put the long plate containing the fish in front of Ah Leopard, and Ah Leopard immediately smiled. It didn't care about putting on a stinky face for Bailiji, so he shook off his cheeks and ate it.
Baili Ji stared at the kitten eating fish with a smile, and thought it was very interesting. Looking at it, Bai Liji suddenly remembered another thing, "Ninth brother, I heard that Huo Xunmei often goes in and out of King Xiang's Mansion and has an extremely close relationship with King Xiang. King Xiang even intended to worship Huo Xunmei as a teacher, but Concubine Liu did not agree, so the matter was put on hold for the time being. "In fact, it wasn't Bailiji who heard about it, but personally inquired about it.
After Bailiji saw Huo Xunmei on North Street, he felt that he had ulterior motives. In his spare time, he disguised himself as a servant in Xiangwang's Mansion to buy friendships. From their mouths, Baili Ji has a general understanding of the relationship between King Xiang and Huo Xunmei.
"Oh? Apprentice? Yushu frowned, "Zhao Xin cheated and failed to worship my master, and within a few days of this incident, he switched to Huo Xunmei?" ”
"Exactly. I also heard that Huo Xunmei sent many beautiful young men to King Xiang to win the favor of King Xiang. The servants in King Xiang's mansion also said a lot of fragrant details that made people blush and heartbeat. Baili was extremely afraid of staining Xie Jiulang's ears, so he hid them all and didn't mention them.
"Huo Xunmei is really dirty!" Yushu pursed her lips in disgust and scolded: "He actually did everything he could, and he was a scholar in vain!" ”
If she hadn't lived again, she would never have found out that Huo Xunmei actually had such an abominable side.
Baili nodded approvingly, and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, Huo Xunmei also provided King Xiang with silver money to squander. ”
Hearing this, Yushu smiled, "What is he trying to do?" As soon as the words fell, a smile froze on Yushu's face. What is the figure? Of course, Huo Xun's beautiful picture is the identity of King Xiang and his temperament that is easy to buy and easy to control when he sees money.
Obviously, Huo Xunmei wants to use King Xiang to fight against King Jin, and if it succeeds, he will be the number one hero. According to King Xiang's current view, even if he ascends the throne, he is a drunken monarch, and the state affairs are naturally controlled by Huo Xunmei. Perhaps, in two or three years, Huo Xunmei will coax King Xiang to stage a good show of Zen position, and he will become the lord of Southern Qi.
What a scheming Huo Xunmei!
Yushu thinks about it further, Huo Xunmei and Zhao Jin's acquaintance and intersection, will it also be a well-planned bureau? Or is it a trap?
Quite possibly!
Yushu couldn't help but gasp.
It is true that Huo Xunmei lost his wife and kept his filial piety, and it is also true that she has children and daughters. Indifferent to fame and fortune, deep affection, and world-class talent...... All of them are Huo Xunmei's painted skins.
The real him is a shameless man and a well-dressed beast!
Yushu put down her toothbrush and took a sip of warm water.
Baili thought that Xie Jiulang was afraid that King Xiang and Huo Xunmei would join forces to deal with him, so he was busy relieving him.
"Ninth brother, you don't have to worry. Even if he has a relationship with King Xiang, what can he do? Wait, sooner or later, Your Majesty will cure King Xiang's sins! Huo Xunmei stammered that he must be a bamboo basket for nothing. ”
It is unknown whether this matter will be due to Dugu Mingyue's meeting with Emperor Mingzong. Yushu smiled helplessly, and replied listlessly, "Yes, that's good." ”
The corners of Bailiji's mouth curled, revealing a warm and warm smile, and said softly: "Ninth brother, you believe me." ”
Yushu turned her head to look into the black and white starry eyes of Baili Ji, and said categorically: "Brother Eleven, I believe you!" ”
