Chapter 35: Rumors
"What? Sister Xiyun left with the ugly girl. When Yu Shuqi and the others returned to their original place, a small family of ten thousand families was waiting for them there.
Yu Shuqi wanted to say something, but when he thought that at least he didn't have to sleep on the streets tonight, he had no choice but to follow the little guy.
He squinted at Xiao Jinghao and said teasingly, "Someone, it's not that he has great powers, and now he can't even find a place to live." ”
"Hmph, what are you proud of, haven't you found it too?" Xiao Jinghao was very frustrated, this place was not easy to use, no matter how much he paid, he wanted people to vacate two upper rooms, but no one agreed.
Here, Xiyun followed the maid to the maiden's residence, and to her and Ning Xiang's surprise, it was a large courtyard, with a main room and two subordinate rooms. The lights were on in the room, and Xiyun followed the maid into the room, and the little guy who had just led the way had already gone back.
The decoration in the room is gorgeous, and the decoration of Xiyun seems to have been seen in Yudu City. Before she had time to think about it, the maid helped her to lie down. Xu had just slept with her, and she usually slept as soon as she got up, and she didn't feel sleepy at this time.
"Lady, what's the matter with the stone siege you just mentioned?"
The maid sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, drank it in a hurry, and said to the maid beside her, "Cuiwei, you go and ask the kitchen to prepare dinner for us, remember that it is for two, and then tidy up a room for Miss Xiyun's two maids, and get them some food." ”
After that, she poured a cup of tea, handed it to Xiyun, saw Xiyun drink it slowly, and said, "Listen to my father, because this day Water City, close to the sea, every year there is a sea breeze to make a difference, making the people miserable, I heard that in the early years, there was a sparse population here."
Xiao Zhangyuan, the first Shiqi Academy, didn't know why he took a fancy to this place, saying that it was to educate the villagers and open the Shiqi Academy here. At the beginning, this academy only recruited some young men and women from Tianshui City, so that they could read and understand science, but later, the reputation of the academy gradually rose, and many people came to visit, so it became what it is today. Since the establishment of this academy, there have been many strangers here to do business. Most of the houses here are made of stones, so that they can resist the annual sea breeze. And the height of the house will not exceed the second floor, which is also for defense.
There is another thing, it is very strange, the head of each session seems to be surnamed Xiao, my father said, these masters are all the children of the royal family, what is the specific name, but no one knows, so they are only called Xiao Zhangyuan. I heard that this Xiao Zhangyuan is still very young now, and I don't know why the previous one left, which led to the current Xiao Zhangyuan taking office at such a young age. I also really want to see the demeanor of this Xiao Zhangyuan. ”
Only then did Xiyun know that there were still such stories in Shiqi Academy.
"Lady, you are a noble girl in the capital, why did you come here?" Xiyun asked curiously, how could she, a young lady, want to come here to go to school, and she didn't look like she was studious.
Asked by Xiyun like this, the girl pretended to pour another cup of tea for Xiyun, she took the teacup, got up to pour the tea, her eyes were a little evasive, she thought about it and said, "Well, of course I came here." He asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”
"I guess I'm here too." Xiyun lowered her eyes, if she told the real reason, she would not be laughed to death by the concubine.
As the two were talking, the door was pushed open, Cuiwei came over with a food box, put the food on the table, and said to the maid, "Miss, just now the shopkeeper sent someone to spread the word, saying that this girl's friends have been settled, and the two maids who came with the girl, I have also let them eat in the room, and they will come to serve the girl later." ”
"I'm sorry for you, Cuiwei, you go down first." The girl looked at the dishes, five dishes, all of which she liked to eat, "Xiyun, is it convenient for you to get up?" Let's dine first. ”
"You come and help me, I can do it. I don't feel as much pain as it used to be. "Fortunately, the wound was only slightly broken, otherwise I would have been lying in bed for days.
When he saw the dishes on the table, Xiyun suddenly lost his appetite, five dishes, four of which were fish, steamed, fried, fried, and braised were all ready, and the fifth dish was still a seafood soup.
The girl ate very happily, and seeing that Xiyun didn't move her chopsticks, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Xiyun, why aren't you hungry, eat quickly?" ”
"Lady Shu, don't you think this fish is a bit much?"
"Much, no, you see, these fish categories are different, the natural taste is different, I love to eat fish since I was a child, no, it is the first time I can eat such fresh sea fish, before, my father was let people transport from here to Kyoto, you also know that when it arrives in Kyoto, the fish is rarely fresh. This time, I want to taste the deliciousness of Tianshui City. ”
Seeing that Xiyun couldn't get off the chopsticks, the girl remembered something and asked, "You won't stop eating fish, will you?" ”
"Is it very shadowy?"
"Hahaha, it's not overshadowing."
The girl smiled from ear to ear, she put down her chopsticks, walked to the door, changed a few sounds of Cuiwei, and after a while, Cuiwei came, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"You go to the kitchen and ask the cook to cook a few favorite dishes for Xiyun, Xiyun will tell Cuiwei what you want to eat." With that, the maiden continued to feast.
Xiyun said to Cuiwei a little embarrassed, "You just tell the cook and let him fry some vegetables for me, and that's fine." ”
In a dark cave, a glimmer of light slowly moved forward from the entrance of the cave, and then, the glimmer jumped up in the darkness, and in a few moments, the shimmer reached the deepest part of the cave. In the darkness of the night, a hand reached out and twisted the mechanism in the cave.
The mechanism "clicked" a few times, the door opened from the inside, the light in the door was bright, illuminating the dark night behind him, he entered, waved his hand, and the door behind him closed softly.
In the cave, the furnishings are simple, like a bedroom, and there is a couch in the middle, and there is a lamp on both sides of the couch, and the lights inside are burning. There were two bookshelves on either side, and the man walked to the one on the left, took out one of the books, and when he opened it, he looked at a small piece of parchment in the book, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that it was safe and sound.
Closing the book, he walked over to the couch and sat down. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, took out a hairpin from his arms, looked at the cherry blossom hairpin in front of him, and his thoughts returned to the "cherry blossom viewing party", the lotus-like person with a bright tongue, and the back of the Yudu City leaving angrily. But just like this hairpin, he can't give it away, and it's not something he can think about.
After so many years, he had the feeling of being upset, and his heart couldn't help but start to hurt, but this time, he let the pain wander through his body, ignoring it, he just wanted to think about it for a moment.
