Since he met the servant of the Qi Mansion, Liu Ruyan found a Hu chair and sat down, and put his hand against his forehead: "In this Qi Mansion, are there any secret things that outsiders don't know?" ”

The male host wondered: "This, after all, this is someone's private matter, and it is not good to publicize it to the outside world." ”

She smiled but didn't smile: "I'm a person who likes to find out some strange news." ”

It is said that it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God, and the man is in a dilemma, and finally said: "The head of the Qi family, now Qi Heng, the son of the old lady, used to worship the second rank of the official, but because of the political party, he was caught in the wrong place and demoted, and since then he has been in a slump in the court. Later, he married the daughter of a colleague and had four daughters, until he was not confused and gave birth to a son-in-law. ”

Liu Ruyan listened carefully: "Except for these things, there are no other rumors?" ”

The man pondered and meditated for a while, and then remembered one thing: "I heard that this Qi Mansion is very strange, no cats are allowed, and there is not even a wild cat in the house. ”

"It's a rare thing."

After saying goodbye to the master, Liu Ruyan walked on the street, thinking in her heart: whether the Qi family is the mastermind behind the scenes, and whether the missing iron box fell into their hands, now it seems that all the mysteries can only be solved by waiting for the birthday banquet.

Back at the inn, she took out her purse and silently took it back: "Brother Bai, how much do you have left?" ”

Bai Zhi took out the last few copper plates: "That's all." ”

"Let's hold on until the birthday banquet first."

In order to save expenses, the three of them shared a room, she slept on the bed, Bai Zhi lay on the floor, and Shen Yanchu lay in the air.

In the dead of night, Liu Ruyan fell asleep wrapped in a futon with her eyes closed, and Shen Yanchu used silver filaments tempered with iron as a bed. The hanging silk is difficult to find with the naked eye, and with the addition of Taoist robes, it looks like a fairy.

Liu Ruyan opened her eyes and said secretly: "Ah Piao." ”

In the middle of the night, Bai Zhi was awakened by the sound of rustling, he looked at the source of the sound, but saw a person sitting on the side of Liu Ruyan's collapse.

"Brother Shen?" He got up and walked.

Shen Yanchu was silent, her index finger pressed against the center of her eyebrows, and as the last ray of light dissipated, her frowning brow finally unfolded.

"It's just a nightmare." He covered the bedding.

"How often does she?" Bai Zhi asked.

"It looks the same during the day, but it is the most difficult to sleep at night."

"Fortunately, Brother Shen has a heart."

Shen Yanchu was silent: "What I can do for him is nothing more than that." ”

"If she knew, she would be grateful to you."

"You don't have to let him know."

……

The night, spread like ink, seems to be boundless, and there is still a time for dawn.

Dali country, the national capital.

The monarch has been seriously ill for several days and has not taken care of the government affairs, and the affairs of the court are handed over to the prime minister.

The prime minister changed into court clothes and stood in front of the mirror, when a cronie came and whispered in his ear.

His face changed a few times, and he grabbed the placket of his cronies: "You mean, the prince was dropped?" ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and it was recently found out that when the prince was hostage in Bianjing, he had already been dropped."

"Waste." The prime minister glared angrily.

"And ......" The cronies took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, trembling.

"And what, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

The cronies held their breath and buried their heads and said: "A month ago, the fake prince was killed on the way back to China, and his body was buried with him. ”

The crown of hair in the prime minister's hand suddenly fell off, and smashed into the wooden board with a "clang", he pursed his lips, and the light and shadow in his eyes were intertwined for a long time.

"Send the order down, send elite soldiers into the Great Zhou, and secretly investigate the whereabouts of the true prince."

Stinged.

The spring breeze blows green, the drizzle continues, the cars run over the grass, and a cluster of clouds and birds scatter.

In the suburbs of Bianjing, in front of the wall, the housekeeper of Qi Mansion raised his voice to read out the visiting VIPs:

"Guest, Lord Liu has arrived."

"Guest, Lord Chen is here."

"Guest, Lord Chu has arrived."

"Guest, Lord Jiang is here ......"

When the famous people of the dynasty came to the door one after another, if they were someone else, they would not dare to make such a noise. But the old master Qi is different, as a Confucian, he has a wide range of knowledge, and his character is a model of Confucianism in the world.

At this moment, a carriage came forward in front of the garden, which was unremarkable, but the boy who drove the carriage was very handsome.

Dao Tong opened the door curtain, and a man in a green shirt walked down in the car, with wide sleeves fluttering, and a gentleman like a bamboo.

The man in the green shirt stood still next to the car, and at this time, another person stepped out of the carriage, covering his face with a fence, and he was dressed in a frost-colored crane, like a frightening flood.

The man's clothes were in the wind, and when the clothes came, the ink lotus rose under his feet, like a miracle.

He stood still in front of the housekeeper, pinched the trick with his fingers, and made a salute: "Ming Juezi came here and was willing to offer Nanshan Shou." ”

The housekeeper has followed Qi Lao for many years, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen strong winds and waves.

Suddenly hearing that a real person was visiting, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, and hurriedly invited him into the house.

"Who is this?" The housekeeper stopped Bai Zhi.

Dao Tong saluted the housekeeper and said, "Disciple of Medicine King Valley, Bai Zhi." ”

The housekeeper caught a glimpse of the tiger brace hanging from Bai Zhi's waist: "Look up for a long time, please come in quickly." Biluo, don't hurry up and bring the distinguished guests into Hanmo Xuan. ”

The three of them went to the outer courtyard under the guidance of the big girl.

At that time, at the beginning of the new year, the weeping willows covered the embankment, and the voices of people passed through the verandah, disturbing countless falling flowers.

Biluo walked in front of Master Qi and said, "Master, the real person and the medicine fairy came to visit." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of silence, and in a blink of an eye, I saw the crane man walking calmly.

This is the most prestigious person today, and even when the Son of Heaven sees him, he must respectfully call him a "real person".

In the hall, the old lady and all the guests got up one after another and saluted him.

Shen Yan returned the salute slightly, his demeanor was smooth, and his voice was even clearer: "Luqi thousand-year-old tree, walking in spring and autumn, may the old man live a long life." ”

Taishi smiled and agreed: "Xie Zhenren Jiyan, please take a seat." ”

When the distinguished guests sat down, Taishi Qi chatted with him, and Liu Ruyan waited aside, looking past the guests present and looking at the ladies in the birthday banquet.

I remember that it was a woman dressed as a woman who took away the trap that day, and there were four noble daughters in the Qi Mansion, the eldest daughter and the second daughter were married, and the third and fourth ladies were to be married.

I wonder who the woman I saw before was.

"Wen Xuan has seen grandpa, I wish you the happiness of the old man like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity of the old pine of Nanshan."

A male voice broke her reverie, Liu Ruyan looked for prestige, and saw that the man in the hall was gentle and elegant, but with Shen Yanchu's pearl and jade in front, the Qi family's concubine was really ordinary.

The current head of the Qi family, Qi Heng, said from the side: "Wenxuan, this kid learned that you like to listen to Yaoqin, and it took a lot of effort to find Miaoyin Gongzi to have fun for the birthday banquet. ”

Qi Wenxuan smiled: "My grandson has also heard that Miaoyin has been hidden for many years, and this time I am fortunate to invite him down the mountain." ”

He turned his head to look out the door: "Please." ”

Liu Ruyan looked at the porch outside.

The scorching peach blossoms are in the wind, and the blue light clothes are as promised. The man walked in with the piano in his arms, his eyebrows lowered, as if he had seen a clear spring on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, which was extremely pure and self-contained.

"Dong Qingxian has seen the old lady." There is a bit of shyness in the man's transparent tone.

Liu Ruyan saw that he was dressed in a blue deep robe, layered like a water stream, his black hair was decorated with a jade crown, restrained and solemn, and the most important thing was that his eyes were not stained with mortal dust.

Good is like water, water is good for all things and is indisputable with the world - she immediately remembered this sentence.
