Chapter 32: Deliver wine to your door

In the empty alleys, the sound of cars turning suddenly sounded.

"Why don't you leave, is it already here?" ”

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Xiao Xiang lifted the corner of the curtain and asked the coachman.

"Two girls, not far in front of you is the Nangong Mansion." The coachman jumped off the board, his face full of guilt, "The villain can only stop here, and the next road is to ask the two girls to take a few steps." ”

"Hey, you ...... man"

"Thank you very much." Without waiting for Xiaoxiang to reason with the coachman, Xiao Huang got out of the carriage first.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiang glared at the coachman, and then didn't say much, and jumped out of the carriage with a small pottery jar in her arms.

Seeing that the two were not embarrassed by him, the coachman hurried away in the carriage after receiving the money.

The speed of the wild run was like a ghost chasing him from behind.

Xiao Xiang flattened her mouth, "It's still a big man, his guts are smaller than mung beans, and we don't eat people, I'm afraid of being like this, as for it?" ”

"He's scared...... It's not us. Xiao Huang sighed softly.

As far as the eye can see, a hundred paces away stands a mansion, which stretches for miles and almost encompasses an entire street.

The two stone tigers standing in front of the door, one left and one right, the tiger's mouth is wide open, solemn and mighty but also extraordinarily impressive, "Nangong Mansion" three gilded characters, it is profoundly inlaid on the mahogany plaque, under the reflection of the sun, shining.

The streets and alleys are shaded by green willows, quiet and quiet, which is a good place to take a cool refuge from the heat, but there is no half a figure on this huge road.

It's no wonder that several coachmen retreated when they heard that they were going to Nangong Mansion.

Fortunately, Xiao Huang brought enough silver, and finally a coachman was willing to send them over, but he had a bitter face the whole time.

As for why they didn't use the carriage of the General's Palace, but chose to hire one outside?

The reason is very simple, how can she hide her shrewd and capable third princess mother without a carriage in the house.

So Xiao Huang had no choice but to go out under the banner of shopping, but he didn't know the way to Nangong Mansion......

"Stop! Who are you? Seeing Xiao Huang and Xiao Xiang gradually approaching, the leading guard in front of Nangong Mansion immediately shouted loudly.

"I want to see the Governor of Nangong, please pass it on."

"Presumptuous, the Grand Overseer can ...... if you want to see it"

"Stop!" Xiao Huang, who had no intention of continuing this cliché, quickly interrupted: "I'm here to report the case!" There was a hint of chill in his words.

"Report the crime? Then you can go to the yamen. Perhaps frightened by her momentum, the guard couldn't help but restrain his tone.

"Then let me ask you, does the criminal and private superintendent solve the case?"

“…… is in charge, but ...... "the criminal and private governor only accepts the emperor's case and the death case."

"Then the supervisor of Nangong doesn't care about the criminal and private governor?" Xiao Huang then asked.

"Of course, the Grand Governor of Nangong is the ...... of the Criminal Private Governor"

"Wouldn't it make sense for me to come here to report the crime?" Interrupting the guards again, the words were still irrefutable.

It seems like...... That's true, but why does he always feel that something is wrong? The guard secretly hammered the back of his head.

Speechless for a while, he had to shift his attention to others, "What is she holding in her hand?" ”

Glancing at the small wine jar in Xiao Xiang's arms, Xiao Huang subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, "When you visit Nangong Mansion for the first time, of course, you have to bring some greeting gifts." ”

Xiao Xiang, who had been in the fog from the beginning, finally understood that her young lady's so-called "report" was false, and it was true to enter Nangong Mansion.

Although she didn't understand why Xiao Huang had to find the Great Governor of Nangong, she still followed and said, "Trouble the big brother of the guard, go and report it, we are here to report a big case, can you afford to be responsible for the delay?" ”

"This ......"

When the guards were hesitating, the door of Nangong Mansion was opened from the inside, and a man in a purple official uniform walked out, with a cold but rude face, and said, "The overseer is invited, two girls, please come with me." ”

After entering the courtyard gate, Xiao Huang really understood the definition of the four words "eye-opening".

The ancient trees in the house are numerous, the strange stones are craggy, there are many paths, only the front yard is divided into three roads in the south, the middle and the north, and the south side takes a white marble arched stone gate in the style of garden architecture as the entrance, and it is a long and lonely cloister that crosses it.

Purple vines are all over the corridor frame, winding and winding, falling straight down, Xiao Huang walked in the corridor, watching the sunlight drill out of the gaps in the vines overhead, reflected at his feet, dotted with stars, as if walking in the Milky Way.

On both sides of the east and west are the houses with staggered pavilions and different structures, and their layout displays, the atmosphere, the process casting, and the ingenuity is like a small palace that is exquisite and elegant.

The difference is that the real palace is a wealthy man wearing gold, silver and jewelry, while the Nangong Mansion is like a wealthy and elegant person.

Through the three corridors, the eyes are the pavilions and water pavilions, rockery lotus ponds...... With such a clear environment, being in it is easy to calm and tranquil a restless heart.

As the leader walked down the steps in front of the corridor, Xiao Huang's footsteps did not move away, and his breathing became very light, lest he make a little sound and break the picture of the landscape ink scroll in front of him.

In front of the rockery, by the lotus pond, a red figure turned his back to the direction of the corridor, and the occasional sprinkling of fish food in his hand startled a pool of microwave ripples.

The red silk dragged to the ground, the black hair was untied, and it was supple around the waist, and occasionally the wind came, and the tips of the hair were circled in the air with the owner's movements from time to time......

Xiao Huang was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but understand why Xi Shi coughing up blood could be beautiful.

"I heard that you came to the governor to report the crime."

I don't know how long it will take, Nangong Qijue turned around, took a few steps forward and sat down on the stone bench, and the jade bowl containing fish food was also lightly thrown by him on the stone table.

Then, under the attendant of the attendants, he slowly cleaned his hands and dried them......

"Since the Nangong Overseer already knows, why bother asking?"

Pulling back his thoughts, Xiao Huang also returned slowly, but his heartbeat slowed down by a beat in an instant.

After the words fell, she leaned sideways and took the wine jar from Xiao Xiang's hand, and walked towards Nangong Qijue step by step.

When she was a few steps away from the stone table, she paused and chuckled: "It seems that the Lord of Nangong is so timid that he doesn't dare to face a weak woman. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Qijue's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at her coldly, "Go down." ”

In an instant, the strong murderous aura in the air disappeared, and after being stunned for half a second, Xiao Huang realized that Nangong Qi was definitely not talking to her.

Seeing her step forward quickly, she put the things she was holding in her arms on the stone table, and sat down opposite him without saying a word.

Nangong Qijue frowned lightly, "What is this?" ”

"Wine."

"Wine?" Hmph, what kind of trick is this woman playing again?

"yes, yes." Xiao Huang nodded, afraid that the person on the other side would be puzzled, and explained, "It's used to bribe you." ”

"Oh? Do you know what the crime of bribery is in Xia Yu's law? ”

"Could it be that the Grand Overseer of Nangong is afraid?" There is a bit of playfulness in the words.

Before Nangong Qijue could speak again, Xiao Huang stood up, took the white jade cup placed on the stone table with one hand, and uncovered the altar lid with the other.

Suddenly, the rich floral aroma wafted out of the wine jar, permeating the air flow of early spring.

Xiao Huang poured the wine and said: "In the cold winter, the plum blossom is mixed with the early morning snowmelt, and the season is buried in the ground for a season, and this plum wine is made. ”

"Although the storage time is not long, it is better because the plum blossom is a bud that has not yet bloomed, so the fragrance of the plum blossom has not dispersed and can be integrated into the wine."

Pushing one of the white jade cups in front of Nangong Qijue, "Plum brew is best to drink in spring, Nangong Overseer might as well taste it." ”

Seeing that the person opposite was slow to move, Xiao Huang couldn't help but feel a sense of anger in his heart, "What, is the Governor of Nangong afraid that I will be poisoned?" ”

Picking up the wine glass in front of her and drinking it all, she said, "Now the Nangong Overseer is finally relieved." ”

"Heh, even if it's poisonous, how can you tolerate Bento." There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Nangong Qijue's mouth, and his eyes became more and more profound, "Say, the purpose of your visit?" ”

"The purpose? The Governor of Nangong can't help but think too much, I'm just here to drink with you. As the words fell, she poured herself another glass.

Looking for a drinking buddy in Nangong Mansion? Heh, Jimo Xiaohuang, your nonsense rank is too low.

Feeling the increasingly gloomy gaze on the other side, Xiao Huang became more relaxed, and said slyly: "I'll say it after you drink this glass of wine." ”

Nangong Qi's eyes were overwhelming, "You dare to ...... might"

"It's not a threat, it's just because it's the first time I've ever made a drink, and you're the first person I've thought of." Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xiao Huang opened his mouth first.

After finishing speaking, she was stunned for a moment, the first person? Xiao Huang didn't know how to say such a thing.

Just when she was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury her face in the collar, she saw Nangong Qijue pick up the white jade cup on the table and put it to her mouth, and took a sip.

The wine is fragrant, crisp and sweet, and the refreshing taste has the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which is really good.

After a few seconds, "What do you think?" ”

"Well, it's non-toxic." Seeing that the woman opposite opened a pair of apricot eyes wide, looking at herself with a little apprehension, for some reason, Nangong Qijue suddenly had the idea of teasing.

Sure enough, I saw that Xiao Huang's face darkened the next moment, and it was not poisonous, do you think you are a silver needle?!
