Chapter 49 Secrets
It turned out that Mo Shujun called Shi Qingxue over in the hope that Qingxue would entertain the Shi family relatives who came all the way from Shu County for her.
The little girl in front of her looks very smart, her big eyes are very charming, and she also has the unique heartiness of the Shi family, Shi Qingxue liked this little girl at a glance.
The little girl's name is Shi Yueyue, the daughter of Shi Jun and her cousin, born a few days later than Qingxue, and after Mo Shujun's introduction, she suddenly smiled on her face.
affectionately took Qingxue's hand affectionately, and called sweetly: "At the beginning of the month, I didn't have the blessing to join you in the order, so I followed the other sisters to call you the sixth sister, okay?" ”
Shi Yue's behavior was down-to-earth and generous, Shi Qingxue couldn't help but feel good, so she smiled, "Of course it's good, then I'll shout at you at the beginning of the month." ”
The two have similar personalities and have their own experiences, and they quickly blend into each other when they talk from all over the world.
Shi Qingxue was still a little surprised why she hadn't seen these people after Shi Lei passed away in her previous life, but this didn't prevent her from befriending Shi Chu.
Shi Chu was born in Shu County, far away from Kyoto, and had never been to Kyoto.
Qingxue is also very interested in the customs of Shu County, and the two have a good conversation, and even sneak out to play while the adults are not paying attention.
"Are you sure there won't be any more problems this time?" Zhou Ruyu looked at Shi Qingxue's departing back, and her expression was a little dignified.
Mama Zhang stepped forward and whispered: "No, now the old lady's distant relative is pestering her tightly, where does she have time to take care of this matter, you can rest assured!" ”
Zhou Ruyu smiled with satisfaction and said gloomily: "That's good!" Dong, Dong, I want to see how you can escape this time! ”
——
Shi Qingxue was pestered by Shi Yue, so she had to lead her to the storytelling house.
The so-called storytelling house is a beautifully decorated teahouse where a storyteller is invited to tell the history of barnyard officials and gossip to attract guests. Generally speaking, the storytelling hall is divided into two floors, the lobby on the first floor is the middle of the storyteller's position, surrounded by eight immortal tables, and the second floor is a private room.
"Sixth sister, why is this private room upstairs so much more expensive than the location in the lobby downstairs? Could it be that it occupies a 'Ya' word? "At the beginning of the month, I didn't see a storytelling hall in Shu County, but I only heard the eldest brother who returned from the study tour, and I was very curious, so I begged Shi Qingxue to pick the most expensive position.
But after going up to the private room, I found that the most expensive location is not necessarily the best!
Looking around, the windows and doors are tightly closed, just like the secret room, which inexplicably gives people a feeling of suffocation.
Shi Chuchu cried with a sad face, "Sixth sister, how did we come here to hear about the book?" ”
Shi Qingxue shrugged and said, "You open the window and it should be possible for the sound below to come in, but ......"
She laughed teasingly, "This place is so remote, it's hard to say if you can see the shadow of the storyteller from the window, who told you to choose the most expensive and the best!" ”
"But you didn't tell me that the most expensive and best thing is this kind of place? How do you listen to books? Shi Chu looked puzzled.
Shi Qingxue nodded her forehead with a smile, and said with a smile: "The history of barnyard officials, anecdotes, etc., are all fake, even if they are really introduced to the teahouse, how many serious nobles do you think will come to listen to this kind of thing?" ”
Shi Chu's face was still full of ignorance, "In this case, why do you have to set up so many private rooms?" What a location in the lobby downstairs! ”
"If that's the case, then why do you have to move the storyteller to the teahouse? Wouldn't it be more atmospheric and cheaper to tell a story directly at the bottom of the flyover? ”
At the beginning of the month, he was asked a lot, and muttered with a bitter face: "Then why?" Good sixth sister, just tell me! ”
Shi Qingxue couldn't help her, so she had to point to the door and said with a smile: "Didn't you notice, we came in from a separate corridor when we came, and we didn't meet anyone along the way." ”
Shi Chuchu nodded and said firmly: "It means that the business of this storytelling shop is not good, and no one comes." ”
Shi Qingxue: "......"
She knocked on the little head of the beginning of the month depressedly and said, "This is the largest and most popular storytelling house in Kyoto at the moment, maybe the business is not good?" ”
"How's that going?" Shi Yue covered his little head, quite aggrieved.
How did she know that a small storytelling house could still have a lot of potential?
Seeing this, Shi Qingxue stopped selling Guan Zi and directly opened the mystery, "It's very simple, that means that the private room upstairs is not set up to listen to the story below." ”
"Huh?" Shi Yue's eyes widened in surprise.
What does the library do if you don't listen to the book?
"Think about it, if someone wants to talk secretly but doesn't want to be conspicuous, wouldn't this intricate and secretive storyteller be the best choice?"
Shi Qingxue opened the window and pointed downstairs, "First, no one will suspect your purpose when you come here to 'listen to books';Second, this place not only has a bird's-eye view of the overall situation, but the noise downstairs will also attract everyone's attention; the most important thing is that once you choose a private room, those juniors will automatically and spontaneously avoid the attention of others, even if others want to track you, it is difficult!" ”
Shi Chu's mouth was wide open when he heard it, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, but he was still shocked, "It turns out that a small storytelling house still has such a big origin." Hey! No, I hadn't heard of anything like this when my eldest brother came here, how did you know? ”
The storytelling hall is an unwritten secret in Kyoto's aristocratic circles, and the eldest brother at the beginning of the month only learned to travel here, so of course he won't know about it.
Shi Qingxue was about to explain, when she suddenly heard the sound of walking at the door.
Instinctively, she made a 'shhh' gesture to Shi Yue, and then walked through the door.
I heard the footsteps from left to right, and then stopped in the room to their right, and a rough male voice sounded, "Just this room, you can get out, don't bother if it's okay." ”
"Yes, the little one will go, and the three masters will enjoy it slowly." The little second brother responded with a smile, and it wasn't until the other party closed the door that he ran away.
It was the first time that Shi Qingxue had 'seen' someone come to the library for a secret conversation, and she suddenly came to the walls of the two rooms to hear if she could overhear anything, and she didn't notice that the footsteps of the little second brother leaving paused for a moment at their door.
"Sixth sister, what are you doing?"
When she saw her at the beginning of the month, Qingxue seemed to want to take down the paintings hanging on the wall and eavesdrop, so she hurriedly called people to stop, and unconsciously lowered her voice and asked: "Didn't you say that this place is for secret conversations?" Where can you hear if you want to eavesdrop? ”
Shi Qingxue smiled, she didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't help it, and she wouldn't give up if she didn't give it a try.
But when she took the frame off, both of them were startled by what was behind the painting, and they looked at each other.
There is a small hole in the wall that shines through from the end of the hole.
Shi Qingxue dared to pack the ticket, and when she poked her head over, she would definitely be able to see the next room.
What about the best private room for privacy?
What kind of trouble is it that you can hear secrets casually?
Shi Qingxue was puzzled, but she didn't hesitate to look over.
The next room was darker than theirs, and it took the light to barely light up the room. Three men were sitting around the table, their faces solemn.
After sitting for a while, the tallest man asked the fat man sitting opposite, "Are you sure the person is here?" ”
The fat man hurriedly responded respectfully: "Yes, Xiao Liu saw the one who led a masked man in with his own eyes." ”
The short and thin man next to him hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Boss, I saw them being led in with my own eyes, but it ...... which room they went to."
"Alright, I know it's impossible for you to find out where he's gone." The tall man waved his hand, and only said with a serious face: "Today, all eyes are on the Horse Mansion, but the prince secretly came to the study building, there must be an ulterior secret." But whatever it is, we can't let him go back alive today! Little Liu, are you all ready? ”
"It's already in ambush in the backyard, as long as the prince appears, he will be killed immediately." Xiao Liu flattered and said, "Boss, don't worry!" There is only one person around the prince, and they can't fly out of our palms even if they have wings! ”
Only then did the tall man show a little smile on his face, and patted Xiao Liu, "Okay!" If this assassination is successful, there will be a great reward for the joy of the above, so do your best! ”
"Yes!"
The three of them discussed it again and then exited the room.
"Sixth, sixth sister, what should I do?" Shi Yue stammered and shouted, looking at Shi Qingxue with a panicked expression.
Shi Qingxue shook her head, she was also numb in her heart now, she didn't expect to hear such shocking news when she was eavesdropping on the spot.
Someone is going to stab the current prince!
At the beginning of the month, he didn't get an answer, and he was even more panicked, "Are we going to report to the official?" ”
"No way!" Shi Qingxue vetoed it.
Now to report to the official, it will definitely be too late in time, and they have no evidence, who knows if the people in the government will believe it.
If this matter is not handled well, the two of them, and even the family behind them, will suffer!
She looked down and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's go to the backyard first and see what the situation is." ”
"Huh?" Shi Yue was startled, "Just the two of us women, what can we do?" ”
Although Shi Chuchu was a little woman, she also understood the seriousness of the matter, and this kind of thing was not something that the two weak women could handle.
Shi Qingxue shrugged, "If you don't have anything to do, you can always call for help!" Or you can go out and report to the official, I'll go and see first. ”
At the beginning of the month, she was even more scared!
"I'd better follow you!"
Shi Qingxue didn't force it, pulled Shi Yue and instructed a few words, and the two walked to the backyard. Neither of them noticed at this time, and after they had walked through a corridor, a short man appeared from the corner, glanced in the direction they had left, and hurried away.
