Chapter 198: The Next Day
Although he was very tired, firstly, Xia Jin's self-discipline was very strong, and secondly, he was a guest at someone else's house, so it was not easy to sleep lazy, so Xia Jin still got up early in the morning. After she finished grooming, Cen Ziman got the permission of the subordinate and ran over.
"Are you tired? If you're not tired, I'll take you out shopping today. Cen Ziman said, "Originally, when you came to the capital, I should have set up a banquet to entertain you and introduce you to some beautiful girls, but now the emperor is there ......."
She didn't finish her words, but Xia Jin understood what she meant. The emperor is seriously ill and is in danger of dying at any time, and who dares to have a banquet and entertainment in Beijing is definitely looking for death.
"I'll rest for a day or two, and I'm not in a hurry to go shopping." The palace will summon at any time, and Xia Jin naturally doesn't dare to run out to play.
"It's fine." Cen Ziman felt a little regretful in his heart, and was about to let his subordinates pass breakfast, when he heard the maid hurriedly walk in and said, "Third girl, Miss Xia, the waiting master is here, waiting in the small hall." β
Cen Ziman stood up in surprise and glanced outside: "Strange, how could my grandfather be so rude ......" and run to the backyard where there are female guests?
Of course, she was embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence.
Xia Jin knew what Xuan Ping was waiting for. She said: "I want to come here for the affairs of the palace." β
"Well, it must be so." Cen Ziman nodded, looked at Xia Jin's neatly dressed body, and pulled her and said, "Let's go, let's go out." β
When the two arrived in the small hall, they saw Xuan Pinghou pacing back and forth in the room, and kept looking outside. When he saw them come in, he was overjoyed, and was about to speak, but he glanced at Cen Ziman and said to her; "Sister Man, you go out first." Then he said to the maid who was standing aside, "Go out also." β
Cen Ziman was stunned for a while.
Although her grandfather was a decent gentleman, and an old man in his fifties. But even so, it is not proper for him and Xia Jin to be alone together.
She glanced at Xia Jin in embarrassment.
"Miss Cen. Ling Zu is afraid that he has something to say to me, so you can avoid it first. Xia Jin also said.
Cen Ziman obediently retreated.
saw that only he and Xia Jin were left in the room. Xuan Pinghou couldn't help but show an excited look on his face, and asked Xia Jin: "I heard the queen mother say, can you cure the emperor's illness?" β
"Willing to give it a try." Xia Jin said, "But I don't dare to say that it will definitely be cured." β
"It's good to try, it's good to try." Xuan Ping waited for a dignified appearance, calm and serious, but when he heard Xia Jin's words, he rubbed his big palms excitedly. It took a few steps back and forth in the room to calm down.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "The Queen Mother passed on the edict and said what you need, just tell me." If I can't do it, I will go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for help. Is there anything you need me to do? β
"The things I need are extremely common, and there will definitely be them in the palace, so there is no need for special preparation." Xia Jin said.
Xuan Pinghou discussed with her again how to send her to the palace at that time, and then turned around and went out, and said a few words to Cen Ziman outside.
When Cen Ziman came in. The spirit was a little sluggish, and said: "My grandfather told me not to bother you all the time, you are tired and need to rest all the way." β
"As long as you don't drive me away. I'm going to stay here a few more days. We have kung fu to play, don't rush this time. β
"That's right." Cen Ziman was happy again and ordered breakfast to be served.
"Girl, Master Wu'an sent someone to bring breakfast." A maid said. Behind her, followed by a mother-in-law, carrying a large food box in her hand.
"Wu'an waits for the lord to deliver breakfast?" Cen Ziman repeated word by word in surprise.
The mother-in-law put down the food box, stepped forward and saluted: "My grandfather said that when he was in Linjiang, he had to be taken care of by Miss Xia. He was on duty in the palace and could not come to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. He ordered the old slave to send a few snacks from Baozhi Zhai to the girl to taste. β
"Thank you." Xia Jin said politely.
Cen Ziman waved his hand: "Put it on." Seeing the woman put the snacks in the food box on the table one by one, she turned her head and smiled at Xia Jin. If you know that your eldest cousin will send you snacks, you don't know how many Beijing ladies you will offend. β
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Xia Jin and Cen Ziman sat at the table.
Cen Ziman used chopsticks to pick up a piece of dim sum and put it on the plate in front of Xia Jin. On the one hand, he said: "My cousin became a waiting master at a young age, and he is alone in the capital, there are no elders to serve, which family doesn't want to give him his daughter?" He came out to a banquet after he recovered from his injury, and you don't know, those ladies at the banquet almost didn't break his head for him! β
Speaking of this, Cen Ziman covered his mouth and laughed.
Xia Jin saw that the mother-in-law of the Wu'an Houfu had withdrawn, so he approached Cen Ziman, turned her with his elbow, and whispered: "Hey, isn't it important to be close to each other?" Why didn't your family give you to him? β
This is what she has always wondered about. Cen Ziman and Su Muxian are of the same age, and their relationship is very good, their grandmothers are cousins, the blood relationship is not very close, and the status is comparable, so it is very suitable for the two to get married. It stands to reason that Mrs. Xuanping Hou should help Cen Ziman catch this golden beetle son-in-law.
Cen Ziman blushed all of a sudden, and turned his hand and slapped Xia Jin: "What are you talking about!" β
Seeing that Xia Jin was still staring at her, she had to blush and say, "When I was twelve years old, my family helped me get engaged. β
Xia Jin suddenly said: "I see." β
The two talked and laughed and had breakfast, and Cen Ziman accompanied Xia Jin to see Xia Qi again. Xia Qi was accompanied by Cen Ziman's second brother Cen Yunzhou, and he had already eaten breakfast, and the two were rowing in the yard.
Cen Yunzhou and Cen Ziman's mother, eighteen years old this year, followed his father to work as a school guard in the barracks, a typical martial arts idiot. Hearing Xia Qi say that he had practiced martial arts, he wanted to fight him to the death.
Xia Qi has only studied kung fu for two years, and he has no problem dealing with two or three ordinary people. But compared with Cen Yunzhou, who learned martial arts since he was a child, he was not an opponent, and he was put down in two strokes in three strokes.
"You're a great deal." Cen Yunzhou pulled Xia Qi up, but his mouth was full of praise, "If you practice for another two years, I will definitely not be your opponent." β
The martial arts of the Cen family are all from the battlefield, straight to the point, and very practical. But it is different from Xia Jin's kung fu that does not move and kills people if he moves. In comparison, it is naturally Xia Jin's kung fu that is superior. It's just that Xia Qi has studied for a short time, and he has only learned one or two percent in ten percent, so he is not Cen Yunzhou's opponent.
Xia Jin knew about kung fu, but Cen Ziman didn't know. Su Muxian didn't tell her either; Xia Qi didn't know anything about Cen Yunzhou, so naturally he wouldn't mention in front of him that his kung fu was taught by his sister. Seeing his sister and Cen Ziman coming in, he hurriedly patted the dust on his body. Say hello to Cen Ziman.
"Brother, you're here again. Every guest in the house. As long as you know some martial arts, you have to pester others to compete. Cen Ziman pouted and said angrily to Cen Yunzhou.
"Didn't you sir? Threesome, there must be my teacher. I'm here to learn from others. Cen Yunzhou said confidently, "Brother Xia's kung fu just now is very good, even if he learns one and a half moves, maybe he can save my life on the battlefield." β
Thinking about this set of rhetoric, Cen Ziman is already familiar with it. She was not in the slightest moved by the phrase "save your life on the battlefield". rolled her eyes at Cen Yunzhou and stopped paying attention to her second brother.
And here, Xia Qi is already concerned about his sister: "Why do you get up so early?" It's been a tiring journey, and you haven't closed your eyes for several nights, so you should get more sleep. β
"It's okay, it's okay to sleep a little more at noon." Xia Jin, a savage sister, still gives Xia Qi a lot of face in front of outsiders.
The two pairs of brothers and sisters talked for a while, and Xia Jin went back to the backyard with Cen Ziman.
"You can rest and sleep as long as you want, you don't have to be polite." Cen Ziman returned to the yard. He pushed Xia Jin into the room.
"Okay, then I'll rest for a while." Xia Jin was not polite, and went back to the room to sleep. At night, he also had to treat the emperor. She had to rest.
She slept soundly, and by the time she opened her eyes, it was late in the eveningβshe had slept through her lunch.
"Awake? We've all had dinner and left food for you. Wash your face and eat. Cen Ziman saw her come out and hurriedly asked someone to set the meal.
"Girl." A maid in a green dress ran up and looked at Xia Jin with red eyes.
"You're here?" Xia Jin was pleasantly surprised when he saw Dong Fang.
When you go out, you don't have a maid of your own, so it's inconvenient to do anything. She's just going to pay it off here. After all, they are good sisters with Cen Ziman, regardless of each other. Xia Qi didn't have a small guy there. It's even more inconvenient to think about.
"We were also on the road day and night in the back, so we didn't miss much of the distance."
Dong Fang has been a subordinate in the Xia family for almost two years. Even if he doesn't serve Xia Jin closely, at least he has work in his eyes. Seeing the Cen family setting up the meal, she hurriedly went to help her and put the dishes that Xia Jin liked to eat in front of her.
Xia Jin ate and bathed, and it was completely dark. She talked to Cen Ziman for a while, then went back to her room and waited for Xuan Pinghou to arrange for her to enter the palace.
Although no one told her that she was going to enter the palace tonight, she expected that the Queen Mother would never let the emperor's illness drag on any longer. can endure today's day, and the queen mother is already extremely tenacious.
Sure enough, when the courtyard was quiet, a mother-in-law came with a lantern and knocked on her door: "Girl, the old lady is unwell, I want you to help take a look." β
Xia Jin hurriedly opened the door and followed her out.
When he arrived at the outer courtyard, Xuan Pinghou was already waiting there.
Xia Jin got on a very ordinary tung oil carriage waiting there, and the carriage galloped away in the direction of the palace.
Thinking that the queen mother had already arranged for someone to meet at the palace gate, the carriage entered the palace gate smoothly, and walked inside for a while before stopping.
Xia Jin got out of the carriage and followed Xuan Pinghou up the steps, and was about to cross the threshold with her right foot, when she suddenly felt a burning gaze.
She turned her head and saw a tall young man standing in the doorway, dressed in the garb of a palace guard. With sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a handsome face, who is it if it is not Su Muxian?
Seeing her over, Su Muxian bowed slightly at her. (Want to know more exciting news about "Xinglin Spring"?)
