Outside the Zen courtyard where the host of Hanshan Temple was located, it was almost full of people, Chu Xi stood behind the crowd and looked forward, an old man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the hall, his expression was peaceful, and his deep eyes seemed to hide endless wisdom.

As if sensing that someone was watching, the presiding master of Xuyin raised his head and looked out, and Qin Xue's mother and daughter, who were sitting opposite him, also followed his gaze, and saw Chu Xi in the crowd at a glance.

"Is that her?" Chu Zhenzhen's face was angry.

Master Xuyin turned around, looked at the signature in his hand, smiled slightly and wrote down the signature, and gave it to Chu Zhenzhen: "This is the marriage sign that Miss asked." ”

Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly came back to her senses, looked at the signature, and read it out: "Shoot Qingxiao with an arrow, everything is too empty; The moon in the water is in vain, and the breeze blows in the back. ”

Chu Zhenzhen is literate and hyphenated, and she naturally understands the meaning of these words, but she is just telling her that her pursuit is divorced from reality, and she only signs.

"Master, is there a way to crack this lot?" Chu Zhenzhen asked.

Master Xuyin smiled and bowed his head: "There is self, as long as the young lady lets go of the 'attachment' in her heart, maintains a heart of love, does more good deeds, and makes more good relationships, she can get good results." ”

"The master is to make me give up the free"

Before Chu Zhenzhen finished speaking, she was stopped by Qin Xue: "What the master said is reasonable, but master, I still want to ask for a sign for my other daughter, I don't know the master"

"Invite her over." Master Void seemed to know who Qin Xue was talking about.

Qin Xue glanced at the mother-in-law next to her, and the mother-in-law turned her head to find Chu Xi.

"My young lady doesn't believe in these crooked ways." Green Sandalwood Road.

The mother-in-law bowed and stood on the side with a smile: "Whether the eldest lady believes it or not, it is the eldest lady's intention, after all, it is extremely difficult to let the Void Master look at the fate." ”

Yun Songyi and Mrs. Yun also saw Chu Xi, and couldn't help beckoning to her: "Sister Xi'er, come here." ”

Li Xiao on the side also caught a glimpse of the mother standing on Mrs. Yun's side, sighed helplessly, and looked at Chu Xi: "Big sister, let's go over." ”

Chu Xi stood at the door, only looking at the Void Master, but as if she had been seen through in an instant, she couldn't help but feel cold, until Green Sprout gently pulled down her sleeve, she broke free from the cold restraint, even if it was like this, it was sweat all over her forehead.

"Big sister, this is for you." Li Xiao handed over a handkerchief, and Chu Xi shook his head slightly: "It's okay." With that, he walked away.

Li Xiao looked at Chu Xi, who was a little indifferent, and felt lost, so she carefully put away the handkerchief, and then followed.

"Donor, sit down." Master Void smiled.

Chu Xi looked at him, trying to see something in his eyes, but except for a clear voice, there was not even a trace of emotion.

"Master, take a look at her and see how her marriage is, is it a sign?" Chu Zhenzhen said busily.

Chu Xi glanced at Chu Zhenzhen, she came out with a veil today, was she afraid that the ladies outside would recognize her. The corners of Chu Xi's mouth were slightly hooked, and she didn't shake the stick. Raise your hand and pull one out of it.

The Void Master took it and wrote out the signature.

"The mountains and rivers are rugged, and I have gone through four places in my career; It is laborious to dig for stone and sand, and there is no way to get good gold and jade. ”

"Master, isn't this also a sign?" Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly asked.

Master Void looked at Chu Xi with a smile: "Girl, do you want to continue listening?" ”

"Master, please." Chu Xi smiled faintly.

"Everything in the world arises from causes, and causes perish, and this life is born to another, and this life is extinguished. The same is true for a girl to have this life. Master Void said gently.

Chu Ji stared straight at him, could it be that he already knew?

Master Xuyin continued: "Marriage is the cause and effect of the previous life, and it is also the fate of this life, you only paid but did not get in the previous life, but the girl still has to believe in the word 'fate', if you believe it, the marriage will come." ”

"Then according to what the master said, this sign cannot be signed." Chu Xi smiled lightly.

Master Xuyin slowly put away the signature, recruited the apprentice to take the red thread and rolled it up, tied it with the red thread, and handed it to Chu Xi with both hands: "Girl, but ask your heart." Do you believe in fate? ”

Chu Xi took the sign and said no more. In her previous life, she believed in fate, but after being reborn, she only believed in herself.

Yun Songyi also heard Chu Xi's signature, and stepped forward to look at her who was silent: "Sister Xi'er, are you okay?" ”

Chu Xi shook his head with a light smile, got up and saluted respectfully to Xuyin.

Xuyin didn't say much, and when Chu Xi turned around, he only said lightly: "Girl, remember, if you have good thoughts, cause and effect will be reincarnated, and you will have your own results." ”

Chu Xi's eyes were slightly wet, she couldn't wait for the reincarnation of cause and effect, and the people she owed her would never recover!

Qin Xue looked at Chu Xi who was leaving, and wanted to stop her, but when she saw that Li Xiao and Miss Yun were chasing her out, she couldn't help but swallow her words. After thinking about Master Void's words, he always felt a little strange: "Master Void Concealment, my eldest daughter has been back home since she returned home. There are constant incidents in the house, you say, will it be because she is a lone star? ”

Master Xuyin got up, folded his hands towards Qin Xue, chanted Amitabha, turned his head and left.

"Mother, Master, what do you mean by that?" Chu Zhenzhen was puzzled.

Qin Xue glanced at the sign she was holding in her hand, and her face turned cold: "What are you still holding this sign!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly handed the signature to Yahuan on the side: "Take it down and burn it." ”

Qin Xue looked at Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Li, who slowly walked out with the people in the courtyard, and followed up: "Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Li." ”

Li Chushi didn't have a good face when he saw her: "Did you ask for a sign for Zhen Zhen?" ”

Qin Xue's face was slightly dark, ignoring her, and looked at Mrs. Yun with a smile: "Madame's complexion is still so good, she looks like she is only thirty years old." ”

Mrs. Yun is kind and kind, but her temperament is soft and strong, even if she didn't see Qin Xue with her own eyes, she has heard Yun Songyi say a lot of things she did: "Mrs. Qin is too famous." After that, he looked at Mrs. Li and Qin Xue, and said with a smile: "I'm not very convenient today, so I won't disturb your sister-in-law's conversation, go back and wait for my body to get better, and then invite the two of you to the house for tea." He whispered softly and left with a smile.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li sneered when Mrs. Yun left: "As soon as you come, Mrs. Yun will leave, I heard that the young lady of the Yun family likes Ji'er the most, I am afraid that all the things you have done have fallen into the ears of the ladies in the capital, and it is really for my brother and the face of the head of Chu Mansion." ”

"Don't forget, you are now living in my Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Xiao'er is used to study."

"I live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because it is my mother's and my brother's house, as for Xiao'er's teacher, you are idle and idle, Tai'er has no intention of studying, why waste money to invite a gentleman to be at home? It's better to let my Xiao'er go to study for a few days, and save my brother from saying that some people are not good at keeping the house, so I invite some useless people to stay at home. After saying that, he sneered and looked Chu Zhenzhen up and down with the veil, turned his head and left.

Qin Xue stood in place and watched Mrs. Li leave. Murderous intent all over his body.

"Mother, this Mrs. Li is the water spilled by her married daughter, and now she is still so rampant in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is it all the grandmother's acquiescence?" Chu Zhenzhen said.

Chu Zhenzhen's words reminded Qin Xue that she might not have said anything before, but now that Qin Fei is dead, the Bai family is sick, and her eldest brother Qin Xun has also moved back to the Guogong Mansion, she doesn't believe that Chu Bingsong still dares to treat herself like before.

"It doesn't matter, soon she'll be out of the rage." Qin Xue said with a smile: "I'll go down the mountain with her today, and I will be able to take you back to the house in a few days." ”

"Really?" Chu Zhenzhen really didn't want to stay in this bitter Hanshan Temple.

Qin Xue took her hand and patted it: "Naturally." After that, he glanced at the back of Mrs. Li leaving at the door, and the plan was completed.

In the pavilion, Chu Xi's expression was natural, and Yun Songyi looked at her suspiciously: "Sister Xi'er, are you really okay?" ”

"It's fine." Chu Xi glanced at Li Xiao, who was restless after her, and said with a smile: "Cousin Xiao, my aunt is afraid that she will be looking for you everywhere for a while, if it is not early today, you should go down the mountain before dark, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Li Xiao hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Then I'll come to see the eldest sister next time." Li Xiao mainly felt that it was too embarrassing to face Yun Songyi.

Yun Songyi is a big man, he didn't care, and only said when Li Xiao left: "Your cousin is a gentleman." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi responded casually, looked at Li Xiao's back as she left, and sighed softly. Since she was reborn, everything that happened in her previous life seemed to have been advanced, so she didn't know what would happen next, but she vaguely remembered that Li Xiao and Jiao Simiao had a conflict in her previous life, Jiao Simiao was ruthless and directly cut off one of Li Xiao's arms, although King Xiaoyao saved Li Xiao's life, but Li Xiao's temperament has changed greatly since then.

She hoped that nothing like this would happen in this life.

"Is the King of Freedom still on the mountain?" Chu Xi asked suddenly.

Yun Songyi shook his head: "It seems that there is something to do, and I left in a hurry." ”

Chu Ji bowed: "Yi'er, can you do me another favor?" ”

"Okay, you say." Yun Songyi said with a smile.

"I'm going to the capital, I might want you to help me block it here." Chu Ji said.

"Tomorrow?"

"Tonight." She wants to go back to the capital before Qin Xue, and now that Qin Fei is dead, Qin Xue has tasted the sweetness, it is inevitable that she will not kill Brother Hong and Yanxue, she has to do it before she makes a move: "You stay in my room tonight, the green shoots are waiting, and I will try to come back before dawn tomorrow." ”

Yun Songyi was a little excited: "Are you going to do something big?" ”

Chu Xi glanced at Yun Songyi, who was about to move: "No, it's just to see someone." ”

"Lover?"

Chu Xi shook her head with a smile, and saw that Mrs. Yun had already come over, so she didn't say anything more.

It was easy to wait until it was dark, and Chu Zhenzhen was walking around the verandah boringly, when she saw Yun Songyi swaggering into the courtyard with four or five subordinates.

"Go, hurry up and prepare more snacks for me, and then bring the bed quilt over, I want to sleep with Sister Ji'er tonight." Yun Songyi said loudly.

Green Sprouts hurriedly greeted him from inside: "Miss Yun, Miss is waiting." ”

Chu Zhenzhen watched Yun Songyi swagger into Chu Xi's room again, and then she was so angry that she dropped the hand warmer in her hand: "Hmph, it's just a Miss Shangshufu, what's the big deal." With that, he went back in a rage.

Chu Xi and Lu Tan still used the old method, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they went to buy two men's clothes, wore veils and hats, and bought two horses, and then hurried to the capital.

Xiao Fu'er was waiting for Chu Xi to come back in the Jin Pavilion, and she heard a mother-in-law say that there were two sons looking for her at the corner gate of the backyard.

Xiao Fuer inexplicably arrived at the corner door of the backyard, looked at the two people with veils and hats in front of him, and stepped forward and said, "You are"

Before Xiao Fu'er finished speaking, he was pulled out by one of the taller men and pressed against the wall: "Xiao Fu'er, long time no see"

The wind in the alley blew away the light veil on his face, and the soft light in the red lantern in the corner gate reflected his face very gently, Xiao Fu'er looked at the serious and deep-eyed person here, and his face was hot: "You, you are Lu Tan's brother?" ”

Lu Tan burst out laughing and let go of Xiao Fu'er: "I want to have a brother, I will definitely introduce it to you." After that, he pointed to Chu Xi on the side: "Miss has something to explain to you." ”

Xiao Fu'er hurriedly came back to her senses and saluted Chu Xi: "Miss." ”

Chu Xi helped her up and chuckled, "How are you doing in the house these days?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Fu'er nodded: "Before, you asked the slave to check the person who changed the incense in your room, and the slave and maid found out that it was the girl who did the sprinkling." But the slave guarded her for a few days, and she did not see anyone she contacted. ”

Chu Xi thought for a while: "You don't have to follow her for the next few days, there shouldn't be any more movement until I come back." ”

Xiao Fu'er bowed her head, and then heard Chu Xi say again: "What about Aunt Yanxue and Brother Hong, is there anything abnormal?" ”

Xiao Fu'er thought for a while and shook her head slightly: "It's not abnormal, there is Sister Chunzhi guarding it, but after hearing about what happened in the Dingguo Mansion, Aunt Yanxue rarely took Brother Hong'er out." ”

Chu Xi bowed her head, Yan Xue was right to be so vigilant.

"Quietly give this to Yanxue and don't let anyone find out, including Haruka." Chu Xi took out a letter from her bosom and gave it to her.

Xiao Fu'er took the letter a little excitedly, and handed over to her what she couldn't even know about Chunzhi, Miss trusted her!

"Miss, don't worry, the slave and maid will be in order." Xiao Fu'er's eyes were slightly moist.

Lu Tan chuckled: "Little Fu'er, you shouldn't be excited to cry." ”

Xiao Fu'er bit her lip in shame, glared at Lu Tan, and the revenge for teasing her has not been avenged.

"It's best to send this letter over tonight, and you will spend more time on Aunt Yanxue and Brother Hong these days. Even if you eat tea, you should take a look at her more, and if there is a slight abnormality, you will immediately ask a doctor, you know? Chu Ji admonished.

Xiao Fu'er nodded: "Miss don't worry." ”

After Chu Xi explained the matter here, she looked at the time, Qin Xue also went down the mountain at night, she should be almost there with Li Xiao and them at this time, it is impossible to see Yanxue and Brother Hong, so she won't say more. What happens next depends on Yanxue herself.

When Xiao Fu'er went back, Lu Tan said, "Miss, shall we go back now?" ”

"Nope." Chu Xi shook her head: "Let's go and visit this prosperous capital." ”

"Visiting the capital?" Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi with a serious face, this was not like a leisurely stroll around the capital.

Chu Ji turned over and got on the horse neatly, making Lu Tan glare again. This young lady seems to be full of secrets, a fourteen-year-old woman who has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, scheming maturely, not to mention the decisiveness of killing, even these small skills are also full of points.

The two of them rode all the way on the empty road of the capital, and when they passed the corner, a child rushed out of nowhere, and the heart of the green sandalwood who followed behind jumped to his throat. Chu Xi suddenly grabbed the reins in his hand and forcibly turned the horse's head, and the horse stumbled a few times, almost turning the thin Chu Xi down, but the child who finally rushed out was unharmed.

Chu Xi looked at the palm of the hand that was strangled and gritted her teeth slightly, the child's mother was frightened, and rushed out to hold the child in her arms and cry, and the people around began to accuse the two.

Chu Xi did not run away, but turned over and dismounted, handed the horse to Lu Tan, and then stepped forward: "The child is fine." ”

The woman was probably from a poor family, and she wore a long brown dress, her hair was wrapped in a cloth towel, and she and the child had no thick clothes.

The woman didn't dare to speak, she shook her head again and again, and Chu Xi was relieved to see that the child was fine, and said gently: "You come with me." ”

Around the corner, a horse-drawn carriage stopped.

The people in the carriage were just blocked in the way. But when Chu Xi left with the child and the woman, the wind blew the weft veil on her face, and an indifferent little face immediately fell into his eyes.

"It's her, she's not small." Zhao Xunyan sat in the carriage, looking at the token in his hand that was said to be the token dropped by the Wuji Pavilion people, and his expression was cold.

"Master, do you want to follow?" The bystander asked.

Zhao Xunyan shook his head: "No need, the city gate is closed tonight, she can't get out, and I'll come to look for her when I'm done." ”

After he finished speaking, the carriage headed towards the capital Ruyi Fang.

Chu Ji led the two to stop at the door of the steamed bun shop on the side and asked the boss for two baskets of steamed buns.

The mother and daughter didn't know what Chu Xi meant, and hurriedly said, "My lord, we don't want anything."

The owner of the steamed bun shop packed the steamed buns and handed the change to Chu Xi, who then turned around and gave the woman the silver and the buns together: "There are many people, I see that you are orphans and widows, and I am afraid that you will cause disaster after revealing your wealth." Today I was reckless, this child may be frightened, take her to see the doctor. ”

The woman seemed stunned, and Lu Tan came over: "Childe, we should go." ”

Chu Ji bowed her head, seeing that the woman was speechless with red eyes, and her heart was bitter, it was February now, and March would come soon. It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but this year's snow is so much and so thick, the dealer in early spring will definitely not survive, that time is the most terrible time, and the silver she prepared does not know if it is enough to save the Yang family.

In the private room where ordinary people are not allowed to come up in Ruyifang, Mei Niang looked at the people sitting inside, covered her lips and chuckled: "How did the prince of Xiaoyao come here, but I want Mei Niang to make clothes for you in the middle of the night?" ”

"Mei Niang is the second master of Ruyi Fang." King Xiaoyao smiled at the beautiful woman in front of him whose corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of amorousness, and smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"The prince is going to ask my family?" Mei Niang smiled.

"I like to talk to smart people." Zhao Xunyan said with a smile.

Mei Niang twisted her waist slightly, poured tea for King Xiaoyao, and sat down on the side, holding her chin with one hand and looking at him tenderly: "The big boss of my family is busy teasing the little lady." I'm afraid I won't have time to see the prince. ”

"Bold!" The attendant beside Zhao Xunyan scolded.

Mei Niang was unmoved, and still looked at Zhao Xunyan with affection: "The prince should know the rules of Ruyifang, our Ruyifang is not controlled by any official, and it is the most rule-abiding, all the news is bought with silver, except for you royal people, anyone's news can be bought, but if someone threatens, then you can't blame Ruyifang for not following the rules." ”

Zhao Xunyan took a sip of tea lightly: "Mei Niang, why should you panic, I came over today and brought silver." ”

"Really?" Mei Niang stood up, looked at the attendant who had just been reprimanded, stepped forward with a smile, and took off her robe in front of him: "The prince said, if the news is too valuable and the silver you bring is not enough, it is okay to offset the account with this little brother." Mei Niang's hand wrapped around his neck like a snake, but the other hand lightly ripped off the waistband of his trousers.

The attendant's face was flushed, and he was angry, but he did not dare to speak.

Zhao Xunyan glanced at Mei Niang lightly: "Sure enough, there is revenge." This king likes. ”

"Then can the prince consider marrying Mei Niang back to be the princess?" Mei Niang laughed.

Zhao Xunyan chuckled: "First thing, I want to know who the owner of this token is and where he is now." ”

Mei Niang looked at the token that fell on the table, her eyes flashed slightly, she let go of her hand, and raised her hand to the people in the room, and after a while, the person who went out held the booklet.

Mei Niang took the booklet and leaned on the soft couch beside her, her jade feet were exposed outside, intentionally or unintentionally stirring the gauze curtain on the side, and Zhao Xunyan and several attendants were panicked.

Zhao Xunyan raised his eyes and glanced at Mei Niang coldly, but saw that Mei Niang's eyes were soft and soft, and her eyebrows were full of mature style, which made those attendants more and more unable to control it.

"All go out and keep watch." Zhao Xunyan looked at Mei Niang and smiled faintly, his expression was as usual, and he didn't react at all.

Mei Niang couldn't help laughing: "The prince is one of the few I have ever seen that there is no reaction." ”

"Who else didn't react to Mei Niang's stunning beauty?" Zhao Xunyan asked as if unintentionally.

Mei Niang smiled: "This is the third question, I already have the answer to the first two questions, but the first question is worth five thousand gold, and the second question is worth three thousand gold, can the prince prepare all the silver?" ”

"Eight thousand gold?" Zhao Xunyan narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Mei Niang smiled lightly: "What you are asking is not an ordinary person. If you ask Ah Da next door, a copper plate, I can tell you which concubine he slept with last night. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Xunyan didn't say more, and a little gloom appeared between his eyebrows: "You can answer the first question." ”

Mei Niang glanced at the others, and the person came over with a plate, and Zhao Xunyan asked someone to open the small box he brought, and the gold was all gold.

Mei Niang confirmed that she said: "The owner of this token is the Qinglong Envoy, one of the four great divine envoys of Wuji Pavilion, whose nickname is Susu. ”

"Qinglong makes Susu?" Zhao Xunyan read these words lightly, and glanced at Mei Niang: "The big shopkeeper of Ruyifang must be rich enough to rival the country, I don't know if my father knows." ”

Mei Niang chuckled: "The emperor doesn't know, but if the prince wants to tell the emperor, Mei Niang won't stop him." ”

Zhao Xunyan listened to her words and chuckled, he naturally didn't go back, Ruyifang held the secrets of officials big and small, if he was an enemy of Ruyifang, he didn't know how many officials he would lose.

"Ruyifang will never participate in the rules of court disputes, and I hope that Mei Niang can remind you of the big shopkeeper. It's good to keep it in mind. Zhao Xunyan stood up.

Mei Niang didn't mean to get up to send it off, and looked at Zhao Xunyan with a smile: "The prince can rest assured, if the master wants to get involved, he won't wait until now." ”

Zhao Xunyan glanced at her indifferently, turned his head and left.

got into the carriage, and the others whispered: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have checked, and there is no one in the adjacent rooms, and only two or three people can enter the private room on the second floor, and the embroidery lady inside doesn't know anything about it." The subordinates tried to bribe the person who went to get the news, and found that he didn't have any martial arts, but he didn't want anything, do you think the second shopkeeper Mei Niang could be bought in other ways, such as a man? ”

"Do you really think she's such a frivolous woman?" Zhao Xunyan said lightly, and glanced dangerously at the still brightly lit Ruyi Fang, these two shopkeepers are already rare and rare exquisite people, I don't know how smart this big shopkeeper is. Now that you can't join forces with Wuji Pavilion, Ruyi Fang seems to be a good choice, but this time it can't be like Wuji Pavilion. It should be carefully deliberated.

"Master, will you go back to the house to find Mr. Jiao first?"

Zhao Xunyan remembered the figure he glimpsed on the road, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "No." ”

After making sure that King Xiaoyao left, Mei Niang picked up the token left by King Xiaoyao and turned around and entered the compartment.

In the compartment, Lin Qingyu had already heard everything about Fang Cai.

Mei Niang is not worried that King Xiaoyao's people will investigate the breath in this house, and with Lin Qingyu's kung fu, he will never find out.

"Master, what should I do with this token?"

Lin Qingyu looked at the dark night, and his narrow eyes turned lightly: "Give it to the King of Freedom." ”

"The Green Dragon Envoy"

"It doesn't matter." Lin Qingyu said lightly: "This time the location of the headquarters of Wuji Pavilion has been leaked, and some of us have already colluded with people in the court, so let's find out who it is." ”

Mei Niang frowned: "Yes." ”

Mei Niang turned around to leave, Lin Qingyu's face tightened, but she still asked the sentence: "Can you find her?" ”

Mei Niang looked at Lin Qingyu, who was standing in front of the window with her hands in her hands: "There is no news." ”

Lin Qingyu was relieved, the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he looked at the dark night: "Keep looking." ”

"And what about when you find it?" Mei Niang still couldn't help but ask: "Master, you gave her half of your life, and you don't owe her anything." ”

Lin Qingyu turned his head and glanced at Mei Niang coldly: "Let me see you say this in the future, and then go to Wuji Pavilion to receive the punishment myself." ”

Mei Niang lowered her eyes. Say no more.

Lin Qingyu was cold, as if he wanted to merge with this cold night.

Mei Niang thought about it, but still said: "Miss Chu is in the city, and King Xiaoyao seems to be looking for her." ”

Lin Qingyu's eyes moved slightly, but he only responded lightly: "I know, you go down and rest." ”

Mei Niang looked at the struggle in Lin Qingyu's eyes, lowered her eyes and quietly exited the room.

At this time, in a tavern next door to Jinghua Building, Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi strangely: "Childe, who are we waiting for?" ”

"An important person." Chu Xi said lightly, she vaguely remembered that he liked to come to this tavern to drink, but it seemed that he had not arrived today

Half an hour later, but the man she was waiting for was still missing, but a carriage was parked outside the tavern. Lu Tan keenly sensed the murderous aura around the carriage and reminded Chu Xi: "Childe, look outside." ”

Chu Xi raised her eyes to look at the carriage, her eyes were slightly tight: "Go to the back door and leave." ”

"Why"

Before Lu Tan finished asking, he was grabbed by Chu Xi and ran to the back door, Zhao Xunyan naturally noticed it, and lightly lifted the curtain to look at the two who left in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "I want to escape"

"Lord Wang. Do you want me to get people back? The attendant said.

Zhao Xunyan chuckled: "No need, I'll come in person." With that, Tibu flew directly onto the roof of the inn.

"Someone followed." Green Sandalwood Road.

Chu Xi frowned, how could someone be eyeing her at this time, and that person seemed to be teasing the mouse cat, following them but not moving, just wanting to see them run away.

Chu Xi and Lu Tan went to the alley behind the inn: "Childe, if you don't run first, I'll go get the horse." ”

Chu Xi turned his head to look around, and when he saw no one, he shook his head slightly: "Is that person still following?" ”

Lu Tan pointed to the roof, Chu Xi looked up at the roof, and saw that the person on the roof was wearing a dark robe, wearing a fur coat, and the jade crown was tied with half of his long hair, looking noble: "King Xiaoyao"

Before Lu Tan's words were finished, he heard a wail, and the King of Joy also turned his head coldly, only to see that all the attendants around the carriage had fallen to the ground. When he turned his head again, Lu Tan and Chu Xi, who were still in the alley, were gone.

"Is there already such a master in the capital?" The King of Joy smiled a little playfully, but the gloom in his eyes made people shudder.

Lu Tan looked at Lin Qingyu who was leaning on the carriage with a silver mask and squinting his eyes to sleep in surprise, and was overjoyed: "Lin Shizi, do you plan to accept another lively and lovely female apprentice, such as me?" ”

The corners of Lin Qingyu's mouth pulled a smile, but his eyes didn't open: "The person you are waiting for has something happened today, come back next time." ”

"Has Mr. Jiao's illness relapsed?" Chu Xi asked.

Lin Qingyu bowed: "It's more serious than the previous times." Glancing at Chu Xi, who seemed to know about this, he smiled: "But it's okay, I've already found someone to send the antidote, and I can't die." ”

Chu Ji looked at him: "If you want to help the Eighth Prince, weaken the power of the Easy King, and let Mr. Jiao die, wouldn't it be the best, and break the right hand of the Easy King, wouldn't the Eighth Prince's chance of winning be greater?" ”

Lin Qingyu's demeanor, which was easy to hold, opened his eyes angrily at Chu Xi's words: "Who told you that I was going to help the Eighth Prince." ”

Chu Xi raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to seek to usurp the throne?" ”

Lin Qingyu raised his hand and landed in front of Chu Xi's forehead and was about to play her, but seeing Chu Xi's reflexively close his eyes, Lin Qingyu laughed instead and took his hand back: "I don't have much interest in the throne." ”

"Yes." When Chu Xi saw his hand withdrawn, she felt a little lost in her heart, and turned her eyes away and stopped looking at him.

Lin Qingyu looked at her, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a big smile: "I don't have the heart to help him now, I have to marry my daughter-in-law first, otherwise my daughter-in-law will be married by someone else, which is not cost-effective." ”

After hearing this, Chu Xi was even more angry, but the carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and several people also got out of the carriage: "If you want to go back tonight, you should wait for tomorrow morning." ”

"Ming'er"

"Tonight." Chu Xi didn't want to see him again for a moment.

Lin Qingyu smiled: "Okay, then I'll send you back tonight." ”

Lu Tan still wanted to ask how to open the city gate, but saw Lin Qingyu directly hugging Chu Xi's waist, and the person had already left the city wall with a few taps on the city wall.

Lu Tan was dumbfounded, and poked Lin Fu with an indifferent face on the side: "Your master is actually a child-faced old monster, right?" ”

Lin Fu glanced at her lightly, grabbed her waist, and with a few taps, he also climbed over the city wall.

Lu Tan was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he looked at Lin Fu: "Your master doesn't accept apprentices, can you accept cute, smart, sensible and filial apprentices like me?" ”

"No." Lin Fu finally spit out two words, so angry that Lu Tan gritted his teeth.

Lin Fu led two horses over in the mountain forest on the side. Chu Xi directly turned over and got on the horse and walked away, and Lu Tan hurriedly followed.

Lin Fu looked at Lin Qingyu with a smile on his face: "Why is Miss Chu so atmospheric?" ”

Lin Qingyu smiled: "This girl likes me." ”

"It's impossible, Miss Chu looks very good." Lin Fu twisted his eyebrows.

Lin Qingyu glanced at him coldly: "Go back and report to my father, ask him if he wants to hold his grandson, and if he wants, let him enter the palace to ask for marriage." ”

Lin Fu looked at Lin Qingyu, who had become a hypocrisy again, but he was relieved in his heart, and went to the Hou Mansion with a smile in his eyes.

Chu Ji returned to Hanshan Temple overnight, Yun Songyi was startled when she saw her cold appearance, and quietly asked Lu Tan: "What's wrong with your young lady?" ”

"I don't know." Midori shook her head.

Chu Xi changed her clothes and fell asleep, but she didn't stay until Chuncao was staring at the movement in her room all night.

"Two men?" Chu Zhenzhen's eyes lit up: "Did you really see two men entering Chu Xi's room late at night?" ”

"Yes." Chuncao responded: "But it was dark yesterday, maybe the slave maid was wrong." ”

"Anyway, wouldn't you know if you went to find out the truth?" Chu Zhenzhen said.

"What is the second lady going to do, go and invite Mrs. Yun to come over and get the stolen goods?" Springgrass Road.

Chu Zhenzhen shook her head slightly: "If this is the case, she is so cunning, she may use some method to escape, this time, I want her to die without a place to be buried!" ”

Not long after a few people stopped, Lu Tan smelled a smell of something being burned, and opened his eyes vigilantly, only to find that there was a raging fire outside the house.

"It's broken, I'm afraid someone deliberately set it on fire." Otherwise, the fire would not have spread so quickly all at once.

"Miss, Miss Yun, get dressed." Lu Tan put his coat on his body and shouted Chu Xi who was sleeping on the warm couch and Yun Songyi who was on the bed.

Yun Songyi was so sleepy that when he opened his eyes, he was stunned when he saw the fire, but then he was angry: "Which king and eight calves did this!" ”

Chu Xi got up and dressed neatly, looked at the men's clothes on the ground before going out, and frowned slightly: "Green sandalwood." ”

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"You quietly go out the back door and go to the Void Master to come and stare secretly." Chu Ji said.

"Who are you staring at?" Midori continued.

Chu Zhen looked out of the flames, and saw Chu Zhenzhen's face gloating, and her expression was indifferent: "Staring at the people who want to put things in this room." ”

"Miss means someone will deliberately frame him?" Green Sandalwood Road.

Chu Xi frowned: "I'm just worried, you go and ask Master Void Conceal first." ”

Green sandalwood bowed his head and looked at the fire that had burned into the house: "Miss, you are"

Yun Songyi pushed her: "Don't worry, there is me." ”

Lu Tan left with peace of mind, Chu Xi looked at the men's clothes on the ground, and the corners of her mouth were hooked.

"Are you ready?" Yun Songyi shook his fists, Chu Xi glanced at the green sprouts, the green sprouts understood, wet the robe, and handed it to Chu Shan and Yun Songyi respectively: "Let's go." ”

Chu Ji bowed his head, put on a cloak and rushed out of the fire with Yun Songyi, and the green shoots also came out.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at the people who came out, she didn't plan to burn them, so the stacked firewood was not put in the room, and when she saw a few people come out, she hurriedly beckoned someone to put out the fire.

Mrs. Yun was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she was relieved to see Yun Songyi and Chu Xi come out safely: "Why did this good one catch fire?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen walked over: "Fortunately, people are fine." ”

Mrs. Yun smiled and nodded, and carefully looked the two of them up and down, and then completely returned her heart to her stomach.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at the person who was busy putting out the fire, and said, "When the mother-in-law was fighting the fire, I saw two men coming out of it" Chu Zhenzhen was very sure that there were men in it.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Yun Songyi said unceremoniously.

Chu Zhenzhen was not in a hurry, only smiled apologetically: "I saw it by my maid, but Miss Yun don't worry, if it really doesn't, won't you know as soon as this fire burns?" They wouldn't have burned alive in such a big fire. ”

Chu Zhen smiled and didn't make a sound, but Chu Zhenzhen was in her chest, and this time no matter what happened, Chu Zhen would definitely not be able to run away.

The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the people brought by Chu Zhenzhen seemed to be a little absent-minded, and even Mrs. Yun couldn't stand it, but fortunately, the masters in the temple came, and the fire was extinguished after a while.

Chu Zhenzhen's face also became more and more ugly as the fire became smaller: "What's going on." ”

A mother-in-law searched inside, but the fire was so strong that everything that should have been burned inside was burned, but there was no one to be seen.

The mother-in-law hurriedly came over and whispered to Chu Zhenzhen about the situation, Chu Zhenzhen's face immediately darkened, and she whispered: "What about the people you arranged, ran away or flew?" ”

The mother-in-law was also very embarrassed, and clearly arranged for two men to quietly run into the house while the fire was fighting the fire and then rushed out, but she didn't want to see no one alive or dead now.

Just as Chu Zhenzhen was about to go and see it for herself, the two men came out of the alley on the side.

"Look, I'll just say yes" Chu Zhenzhen didn't finish speaking. I saw that the two men were still followed by people, and this person was none other than Yahuan Lutan and the abbot Master Xuyin.

"Second Miss is looking for them?" Lu Tan smiled, and threw out some of the man's private items on the ground, and pouted speechlessly: "They still have such items, they shouldn't be the men/prostitutes found in the small shop." ”

Lu Tan smiled, and the women next to her were all red-faced, but Chu Zhenzhen's little face was snow-white: "What are you talking nonsense!" ”

Lu Tan raised her eyebrows: "Since the second lady thinks I'm talking nonsense, let the two of them talk about it." With that, Lu Tan kicked the two people in front of him, and the two obediently knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Mrs. Yun looked at the Void Master who was reciting the Buddha name with her hands folded, and she also knew what was going on, but she was afraid that the two young ladies were going to deliberately plant a false accusation and set a big fire, but they were discovered by Chu Xi, and they came up with a plan.

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth slightly: "I don't know them"

Hearing Chu Zhenzhen say this, the two hurriedly rushed forward to ask for help: "Miss help, I don't want to be sent to prison."

Chu Zhenzhen kicked the two away with a calm face: "What nonsense are you talking about, when have I seen you, who instructed you to wronged me like this." ”

Chu Xi stood on one side and didn't speak, and Lu Tan glanced at Master Xuyin: "Master, you've seen it all." ”

Master Void looked at the people on the ground compassionately: "Amitabha, donor, you have to forgive people and forgive people, have a good heart, get good karma, and only then can you bear good results." ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and didn't speak, but Chuncao stood up: "Come on, send these two things that don't know what to say to the government, and torture them well!" ”

The mother-in-law beside Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly responded, and hurriedly blocked the mouths of the two and dragged them out.

Even if she was kind-hearted as Mrs. Yun, her face sank: "They are all sisters in the family, how can they make such a fuss." ”

"Mother, isn't my uncle from the Criminal Department, let him come to investigate, dare to set fire to Hanshan Temple, I think she has a few lives." Yun Song Yi Dao.

Although Hanshan Temple is not a royal temple, it has always been extremely fragrant, and the holy driver has been here several times, not to mention that all the dignitaries and dignitaries dare to set fire to Hanshan Temple, if they are caught, they will definitely be severely punished!

Chu Zhenzhen was a little panicked, and Chuncao stepped forward and saluted Yun Songyi: "Thank you Miss Yun for your concern, this is the matter of the two young ladies of the Chu Mansion in the final analysis, and the slave will report to the old lady and the master when she goes back this time, so you don't have to worry about the Lord of the Criminal Department." ”

Chu Xi looked at Chuncao, she seemed to be defending Chu Zhenzhen, but she was admitting that this fire was put by Chu Zhenzhen, and this person was also prepared by Chu Zhenzhen.

Yun Songyi wanted to say something but was pulled down by Mrs. Yun, and Mrs. Yun looked at her: "I don't need you to pass on this, I'll go to Chu Mansion and tell your old lady about it." ”

Chu Zhenzhen's pale lips trembled slightly, but she didn't know what to say, if she refused, they would have to report to the official, and now there is such a person as Master Xuyin

"Miss Chu. Come with me to-day, stay in my room, and I'll send you back to my house at dawn." Mrs. Yun looked at Chu Xi and said softly.

Chu Xi bowed slightly, and before leaving, she glanced at Chuncao, who was standing with her hands down, and said with a smile: "Sister Chuncao, I don't know how the fourth sister is in the past few days?" ”

Chuncao's hand shook slightly, still hanging her head: "The slave maid has been serving the old lady, and I don't know the current situation of the fourth lady." ”

"Yes, Sister Chuncao is single-minded and doesn't ask about the affairs of the house." How could a big girl ring in the mansion not even know whether the backyard girl was good or not, the more she wanted to get rid of her relationship with Chu Dai'er, the more she would show her feet.

Chu Xi smiled faintly, turned around and left with Mrs. Yun.

Chu Zhenzhen listened to Chu Xi's words, came back to her senses, and only raised her eyes to look at Chuncao after everyone in the courtyard left, and sneered: "The master you have been serving, is it Dai'er?" ”

"The slave didn't dare. : Spring grass is busy.

"Don't dare?" Chu Zhenzhen stepped forward and slapped Chuncao in the face: "You dog slave who eats inside and out, dare to harm me with Chu Dai'er!" I can understand why you stared at Chu Xi so closely as soon as you came up the mountain, why you were not usually willing to take care of me, but tonight you specially told me that there was an abnormality in Chu Xi's courtyard; Why did you come up with the idea of finding two men tonight, and personally help me, it turned out that they were all waiting for this moment to appear, and then seemed to defend me, but they were saying that this matter was my mastermind. Hehe, what a spring grass, what a Chu Daier! ”

Chuncao's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Miss, don't listen to the eldest lady to provoke"

"Stir up!" Chu Zhenzhen raised her voice: "Do you really think I am a fool!" After that, he turned his head to look at the pile of ruins and the humiliation he had just received, and gritted his teeth: "Come on, Chuncao deliberately set fire to the eldest lady and murdered the eldest lady, and immediately drag me down and kill him!" ”

"Second Miss, the deed of sale of the slave is in the hands of the old lady." Springgrass Road.

Several mothers-in-law were embarrassed, Chu Zhenzhen was embarrassed and slapped again, so angry that she kicked and kicked: "Eat things inside and outside." Chu Zhenzhen shouted, but she hated Chu Dai'er in her heart: "Drag her down for me and lock her in the firewood room, no one is allowed to give her food without my orders!" ”

"Then the eldest lady will return home tomorrow, what about us?" The mother-in-law asked.

Chu Zhenzhen glanced at the red and swollen spring grass curled up on the ground, and sneered: "Naturally, I have to go back to the house, I want to see how my good fourth sister explains!" ”
