Chapter 42 Inheritance
"Tonight's wind~ a little noisy~, girl, we meet again."
Seeing her surprise, Qu Yue hurriedly threw the stone in his hand aside in order not to scare her, and then bowed and smiled friendly.
"Girl, what a coincidence, it's so late, and you haven't slept yet?" Qu Yue continued.
Saying that, Qu Yue secretly kicked the person on the ground, and only relieved himself when he was sure that he didn't move.
Since that night, he has been unforgettable, as the saying goes, love at first sight and heartfelt love at first sight.
Xi Ci was slightly stunned, the man looked a little familiar, and scratched his head: "Are you?" β
"I'm a good person." Qu Yue grinned and said with a smile.
This sentence was accompanied by this voice, which made Xi Ci a little impressed: "Oh, you are a good person who was robbed that night!" β
"yes, yes!"
Being remembered by her, Qu Yue was very happy, and he wanted to get closer to her.
Unexpectedly, Xi Ci still didn't relax his vigilance against him, and took half a step back: "Eh, wait, I'm ......"
"It's fierce, I know." Qu Yue immediately stopped when he heard this, and took her words with a smile.
He broke the man's head without a trace of panic, thinking that he should be a ruthless man.
In order to make himself look not like a soft persimmon, Xi Ci raised his chin slightly, so he raised his voice: "Thank you for saving your life, and I haven't asked your Excellency for your name." β
"My surname is Qu, a single name and a word reading, but it's just a gesture, and the girl doesn't have to be polite." Qu Yue replied kindly and humbly.
Please?
Seeing that the other party was so humble and polite, Xi Ci also relaxed his attitude a little, and said, "Little girl, Xi Ci." β
Xi Ci, Qu Yue chewed on the name repeatedly in his heart, and then smiled heartily: "Good name!" β
Xi Ci looked at Bo Qing lying on the ground with some concern, mortal attacks can't kill gods, demons, and ghosts, he is just a temporary loss of consciousness.
I don't know when he will wake up, thirty-six plans, and go for the upper plan.
Xi Ci turned around and quickly got into the chariot, sat down the temple people, and then said to Qu Yue: "It's not too early, Gongzi Qu, do you need me to send you?" β
Knowing that she was going back to the Taishi Mansion, it was not easy for her to go along with herself, but it didn't matter: "Then there is Miss Lao." β
Saying that, Qu Yue also sat in the chariot unceremoniously, and then Xi Ci saw his appearance clearly in the moonlight.
The sword eyebrows and starry eyes are not as handsome and noble as Shen Zhou, nor does he have the strong youthfulness of His Majesty, he is a mature and charming old man.
"Qu Gongzi, where are you going?" Xi Ci asked, leaning on the chariot.
Qu Yue thought about it for a while, and said, "It's good to be near the Taishi Mansion." β
Unexpectedly, he stopped by the way, Xi Ci glanced at Bo Qing, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Qu Gongzi is seated!" β
Qu Yue sat with the unconscious temple man, his gaze never left Xici, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a satisfied smile.
When he arrived at the gate of the Taishi Mansion, Qu Yue got off the car and bowed to Xi Ci again: "Thank you girl for taking me along the way." β
"You're welcome, Gongzi Qu is kind to me, this little thing is not worth mentioning!" Unexpectedly, the man in front of him was so gentle and elegant, and Xi Ci suddenly felt a little ashamed that he had treated him so much before.
"It's not early, the girl will rest early, and I will see you again." As he spoke, he pretended to leave.
Seeing this, Xi Ci just waved goodbye, parked the chariot at the gate, and went into the door by himself, without seeing him.
Qu Yue smiled and shook his head and walked back, the journey back to the inn would take at least an hour, although it was far away, but he felt that it was worth it.
He had just walked a short distance, and when he heard movement behind him, he looked back hesitantly, and it turned out that it was Xi Ci who came out of the house with a bed quilt and covered the temple people who were still unconscious on the chariot.
He was stunned, and saw Xici yawning from a distance, and walked into the door again with satisfaction.
With such a beautiful blue heart, Qu Yue couldn't help but feel a little moved, but unfortunately there was not much time left to stay in the country of Yin, and she could only meet again in the future.
During the period of coexistence of man and god, all festivals will have incense offered by the gods to the human race day and night to make a return.
When the sky is not dawn in the world, the flower gods in the flower world have already awakened the flowers early, and even the plum blossoms that bloom in the cold winter have budd early.
In the east, there was a white belly of fish, and the emperor of the flower cluster personally went to the sky to set up a array, raining flowers and rain on the world.
Xi Ci, who was still asleep, heard a commotion outside, and couldn't help frowning and getting up.
I put on a suit of clothes at will, and when I opened the door, I was amazed by the petals all over the courtyard.
"Generous!"
Xi Ci walked to the middle of the courtyard in a daze, and stretched out his hand to catch the fluttering petals.
She lowered her head and smelled it, and the flowers in her palms were very fragrant: "It's osmanthus!" β
Xi Ci's face was full of brilliance, he closed his eyes and turned around leisurely twice, took a deep breath and immediately ran to the gate, opened the door, and the street was full of people than before.
People who are unwilling to stand by the window to enjoy the flowers and rain all come out to enjoy the baptism of the flowers and rain.
The vendors on the street also had no intention of setting up their stalls, and they all had grateful smiles on their faces, admiring the rain of petals.
It is said that there are many misfortunes in the world, and this petal rain is a good medicine to comfort people's hearts.
For the god of the flower world, it is not difficult to rain like this, but once in a thousand years, it is a gift for the human race, and this is the truth that rare things are precious.
Inside the royal palace.
The falling flowers are colorful, and after a while, the roofs of each palace are covered, and the breeze blows gently, revealing small pieces of glazed tiles with a sparkling shimmer.
This scene is in strong contrast to the death of a group of fish last night, and the rumors of great evil omen are broken.
Yan Mo looked at the petal rain, the dragon's heart was happy, and he specially invited Shen Zhou to share breakfast.
Today's Hundred Flowers Festival sacrifice has been prepared, and after a while, the boat will be able to return home.
Today's Shenzhou is still showing people with his true face, Yan Mo saw that the temple people and maidservants in the palace always looked at Shenzhou intentionally or unintentionally, so he sent someone to take a half of his face made of pure gold.
"The Taishi assisted in the preparation of the Hundred Flowers Festival ceremony, and he was given a pair of gold noodles." Yan Mo handed this thing to Shen Zhou and said.
Shen Zhou put down his chopsticks and took them with both hands: "Your Majesty!" β
I didn't take it with me immediately, but continued to enjoy a steaming breakfast.
Yan Mo looked at him without saying anything, but Shen Zhou didn't pay attention, but thought about another thing in his heart.
At this time, a temple man walked in in in a panic, with a hesitation written on his face "I don't know whether to talk about it or not", and saluted Yan Mo and Shen Zhou.
"What's wrong?" Yan Mo asked disapprovingly.
"Your Majesty, there was some accident last night when I escorted the servant girl of the Taishi back home." The temple man said stubbornly.
Shen Zhou raised his head, and before he could open his mouth, Yan Mo rushed ahead and asked, "What happened?" β
"Your Majesty, on the way back to the Taishi Mansion, I suddenly encountered a sneak attack by gangsters." The attack on the royal chariot was not a trivial matter and had to be reported.
"But anyone is hurt?" Yan Mo asked with a little worry, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Shen Zhou to check his reaction.
"Back to Your Majesty, except for the maidservants of the Taishi Mansion, the two temple people who drove the car were slightly injured." The temple people reported truthfully.
Hearing that the servant girl was fine, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in Yan Mo's eyes, and he immediately said sternly: "What kind of people dare to openly provoke, spread the word of solitude, and investigate it thoroughly!" β
"No!" After receiving the order, the temple people hurriedly retreated.
Hearing that Xi Ci was fine, Shen Zhou sighed faintly, and his move was seen by Yan Mo.
Yan Mo took a small piece of meat and put it into his mouth: "The two temple people who drove were slightly injured, but the servant girl of the Taishi was unharmed, I don't know if it was luck or ......?" β
Yan Mo still suspected that Xici was a fine work sent by Qu Guo, although there was a plan to send her to Qu Country as the head of the township, but as soon as she was here, Yan Mo would be uneasy every day.
Before Yan Mo's words fell, Shen Zhou replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the servants and maidservants in the court's mansion, except for the daily sweeping, have learned the art of self-defense, which is really needed to take care of the family and nursing home, and has no other intentions. β
"It seems that I am alone." Yan Mo chuckled and put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Shen Zhou faintly.
Yan Mo suspected Xi Ci, while Shen Zhou thought that he suspected himself.
Shen Zhou lowered his eyes slightly, and put down his chopsticks: "Your Majesty, the minister has eaten enough, and he remembered that there were still unfinished matters to deal with during the ceremony, so the minister retreated first." β
Yan Mo was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Zhou turned around and left after giving a long salute, his eyes were slightly raised, and there was a hint of indifference, this chess piece must be abolished as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many accidents.
This time, the petal rain did not gradually stop until the evening, and the festival of the hundred flowers also ended, and the sunken boat tiredly sat back home.
The whole world was immersed in the fragrance of flowers, and as soon as Shen Zhou entered the door, several servants who were sweeping the petals greeted him: "Master, you are back!" β
Shen Zhou nodded, looked around, and said, "What about Xici?" β
The servant suddenly smiled embarrassedly: "She...... She said that today was the Festival of Flowers, and that she should rest and not work, so she went out to play. β
The Hundred Flowers Festival should be rested, and this rule is set by herself.
When Shen Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but smile helplessly, and handed half of the golden face given by His Majesty to the servant: "After cleaning up, it's okay to rest for half a day, so let's go down." β
Hearing that the master, who had always been indifferent to these things, suddenly offered to let everyone rest, the servant took the golden face, and immediately burst into tears: "Thank you, Master Xie!" β
Shen Zhou nodded, he wanted to go to the house, but he paused halfway through, and finally turned around and walked outside.
The lights of Jingshi Changjie are numerous, the city is dazzling, and people come and go.
A string of sugar people in Xici's left hand and a piece of flatbread in his right hand "flowed" on the most lively street.
What kind of chest crushing boulders, population spitting fire such a clichΓ© performance, she knows it herself, but she still watches it with relish.
In the distance, a lit lighthouse attracted her, and Xi Ci stuffed the last bite of flatbread into her mouth, lifted the hem of her skirt and ran over happily.
The small lanterns seemed to have some fame, and Xi Ci glanced at them curiously.
"Girl, do you want to guess the lantern riddle?" A woman looked at Xici with a smile.
Xi Ci's eyes widened and he asked with interest, "What's that?" Is it OK to eat? β
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth: "There is nothing to eat, but if you guess three riddles in a row, you can use this hairpin to exchange for food." β
As she spoke, the woman took out a delicate flower hairpin and shook it in front of Xi Ci: "If you guess three times in a row, I will give it to you, do you want to try it?" β
Thinking that he could have fun without spending money, Xi Ci nodded hurriedly and looked at the little lantern expectantly.
"Pick one." The woman said.
Xi Ci pointed to a small lantern in the middle, and the woman helped her pull out the riddle tied to the lantern rope, and whispered: "After a long rain and a sunny day, type a word." β
"This ......" was the first to stump Xi Ci, although she can read and write the words of the world, but she is not proficient in it.
She scratched her head in contemplation, and smiled a little embarrassedly at the woman.
"Do you want to abstain?" The woman asked softly.
"Uh......"
"Yesterday."
βοΌβ
While Xi Ci was still distressed, a familiar voice came from behind her, making her slightly stunned......
