afterward
What followed was Sima Lanting.
He asked casually: "Do you look down on the eldest princess and want to die?" It's against the law. ”
When Fei Jingarc saw him, he immediately greeted him.
I met Sima Lanting yesterday, but I haven't spoken yet.
Sima Lanting asked, "What, isn't it?" ”
Fei Jingarc replied respectfully: "It's just that there is a woman here, and I'm afraid that it will not be good to see you." ”
Woman? Who is it?
The sacrificial dance looked around in confusion, and just happened to see Sima Lanting looking at himself. Sima Lanting happened to meet the confused gaze of the sacrificial dance.
He smiled, "Who are you talking about as a woman?" You don't have that in this house. ”
Fei Jingarc looked at him puzzled, and then looked at the sacrificial dance: "Isn't the pavilion master?" ”
The festival dance is a little frightened. Is this all visible?
It's just that she replied no: "No." ”
"I saw that the body of the pavilion master looked very much like a woman, and the voice was the same, so I thought the pavilion master was a woman." Fei Jingarc smiled embarrassedly.
Sima Lanting said: "Which girl have you ever seen who is so bold? Seeing such a scene, can you still not change your face? ”
It's also said, whose girl would be like this?
Fei Jingarc said: "It's me who is wrong, seeing that the appearance of the pavilion master is so weak, I still think it is a woman." ”
Fei Jingarc saw that they weren't bothered with the cat, and he didn't care much about what he said.
It's just a pity that some people are just like this and can't think about others.
"What does Master Fei think of this cat?" Sima Lanting looked at him with a smile: "Or is there something hidden about this cat's death?" ”
It's just a cat, it's dead and it's dead, what else can there be hidden.
Qingqi looked at his master as if he wanted to find justice for the cat.
This sentence just made Fei Jingarc even more nervous.
"No, no." It's just that when I said this, my forehead kept sweating.
Now everyone present saw the clue.
"Take this cat back to show the emperor." Sima Lanting suddenly spoke indifferently.
When Qingqi heard this, he immediately began to look for something to clean up the cat.
Before he could start his move, Fei Jingarc knelt down, "Lord Wang, the grass people know that they are wrong, shouldn't they kill cats here?" ”
Did he kill the cat?
Bai Zhou looked at the cat whose intestines had been taken out in confusion, the blood on the ground was also dry, and some of them were extending from the grass. Such a scene reveals the odd.
No, if he killed the cat, then he wouldn't have thrown it here like this, or it would have been thrown in the grass.
If you drop it here, it will be too conspicuous, and the people in the house are not his people, so it would be too dangerous to do so.
Fei Jingarc was sweating profusely by the gazes of several people, and had to speak: "This cat was indeed not killed by me, this is where I live inexplicably during this time, no matter where I live, I will always see the body of this cat." I don't dare to sleep with anyone else. It's different every time, and I'm afraid that the people I'm taking the exam with will see it and tell the examiner that my place will be cancelled. I studied hard for more than ten years, and finally came to the capital to catch the exam, and if I died like this, my parents would be sad. ”
After saying that, no one spoke.
Bai Zhou broke the silence and asked, "Do you know who lost it?" You don't know if you don't ask, do you remember who you have a grudge against? ”
Fei Jingarc thought for a while and replied: "No, our family has always been based on neighborhood harmony. You can't get into everyone's harmony because of a little thing. The people in our hometown are also polite and very warm to outsiders. ”
Bai Zhou asked again: "What about you along the way?" Did you encounter any contradictions? ”
Fei Jingarc shook his head: "No, I've been reading books all the way, I haven't talked to others much, and I hate that they don't talk all the time." Of course, except for Li Shijin, I can talk to him. We exchanged our views along the way, talked about our opinions on the article, talked about decisions in the imperial court. ”
"Then do you think it could be Li Shijin?" Bai Zhou asked.
"Impossible!" Fei Jing's reaction was very loud and excited: "How could it be him, he also saw the cat's corpse when he was with me that morning, and we stayed together all night." ”
Sai Wuqing grasped the key to his words: "You mean that Li Shijin is also the one who has seen the corpse of this cat?" ”
Fei Jingarc was helpless, nodded and said yes.
"What is the relationship between you and Li Shijin?" The sacrificial dance asked sternly.
Listening to Fei Jingarc's words, he always felt that something was wrong, but he always couldn't grasp the key, and he spoke evasively, as if he could avoid the main point.
Fei Jingarc did not speak.
Seeing him like this, everyone turned white, and it seems that this matter is a bit of a suspicion of self-acting.
"If you don't say it now, just go directly to the emperor and say it." Sima Lanting also learned to dance and speak in a tone.
It's cold, and it's a little bit like that.
Qingqi almost laughed when he heard this.
"I say, I say." Fei Jingarc kowtowed a few times, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of tears.
"Li Shijin and I didn't actually meet on the road. We have known each other since childhood. We study together in a school, we take exams together. The difference between us is that his family is rich and my family is poor. But I always learned a lot better than him. So the housekeeper of the Li family came to the door and asked me to be his scholar.
At first, I didn't agree, but they said that as long as I became a scholar, I could be given money to study, and I could also go to the exam with Li Shijin. It's always the same as Li Shijin's treatment in the Li Mansion, if you get fame, no matter which one of us is, we will arrange my family properly.
At first, I was skeptical about why such a good thing came to me, but because of my family, I didn't have much choice.
I also have two older sisters in my family, an older brother and a younger sister, both of whom have reached the age of starting a family, but the family is too poor to have any sisters who are willing to marry or go to our family. The housekeeper of the Li family said that I don't have to worry about this, as long as I come to be a scholar, everything will be taken care of for me.
I was going to give it a try, but then my sister slowly got married, and my brother also married a beautiful sister-in-law. I slowly agreed. ”
Qingqi interrupted him: "What does this have to do with this? Just get to the point. ”
Fei Jingarc didn't have any opinions because of this, but it seemed that it was normal to be interrupted from time to time. He said slowly, "It matters. My family has indeed changed for the better, but some uncontrollable things have happened.
It turned out that I was planning to take the exam with Li Shijin, but unfortunately Li Shijin has never loved homework and only knows how to have fun. Li Jiayou stipulated that I could not go to the exam alone, so I could only accompany him.
So I thought, just wait for this young master to have enough fun, and then I will propose that I will go out of the house to marry a wife and have children.
But until last year, Li Shijin suddenly got up every day from morning to evening to reading a book, and saw it very late. The things he had never memorized began to slowly come down. I gave up the idea of marrying a wife and studied with him.
Li Shijin is a genius, but he has never put his mind on this before, so his homework is very poor, and he is often reprimanded by his husband. As a result, he dislikes reading more and more, and sometimes he doesn't go to class. Such a change in him immediately attracted the attention of the Li Mansion. We started working hard under everyone's urging.
The reason why genius is genius is that no matter how hard mediocre people like us try, they can't catch up. When I first came to the capital, I knew that Li Shijin must be the champion this time. Even when I came to the capital and met other people, I always thought so.
I just don't know why it turned out to be me and not him. ”
It turns out that the relationship between the two has known each other since childhood, and one is still a son-in-law, but a son-in-law brother.
Sai Wuqing asked, "And what's the matter with this cat?" ”
Fei Jingarc looked at the cat, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Geniuses also have the troubles of geniuses, and their troubles are still unknown to us ordinary people." ”
Bai Zhou guessed: "So he started killing cats in order to release his troubles?" ”
Fei Jingarc nodded, and shook his head again: "He didn't kill that cat." ”
No?
What does this mean?
What was thought to be a simple little thing is now starting to get complicated.
"Yes, it's not." Fei Jingarc lowered his head as he spoke.
The dignified man knelt in front of everyone and bowed his head, as if he had done something wrong and was waiting for a sentence.
Summer is always like this, is it raining, or there is no sign of it.
The festival dance thought that the rain during this time was always so bad at a good time, and it rained at such a time every time.
The cold rain hit Fei Jing's neck, like a bent little grass, and he had no strength to resist in such a harsh environment. Whether or not they will survive to the next day is a question.
"It's raining, let's go inside." Matsuri didn't want his clothes to get wet.
If you get wet, you won't be able to hide a lot of things.
Everyone went in, and there were still a lot of questions, but looking at Fei Jing's state, he would not answer it well.
The emperor still sent a butler, and the butler arranged everyone and asked them to wait for the rain to stop before leaving.
Seeing the rain getting heavier and heavier, no one spoke, and Fei Jingarc went back to rest early.
Sima Lanting quipped: "The lord of the sacrificial pavilion will be regarded as a woman? ”
The sacrificial dance was white about his meaning, and he did not speak.
Sima Lanting didn't care, and said to himself: "Pavilion Master, it's a coincidence, this capital is a rare surname, and until now I know that there is a person with this surname." After speaking, he paused, and then said: "One is you, and the other is the top card of Yixiang Temple, but it was redeemed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince during this time, and it didn't take long for you to appear, the lord of the sacrificial pavilion." ”
The sacrificial dance still didn't speak, and Bai Zhou on the side heard that something was wrong.
Isn't the number one in Yixiangyuan the person his sister Bai Yi wants to see?
What is the relationship between the pavilion master and the top card?
Bai Zhou also began to listen nervously to their conversation.
On the other hand, the sacrificial dance is still quiet. Also, they weren't talking about her.
"What is the relationship between the Pavilion Master and the top card? Brother and sister? Or a brother and sister? Sima Lanting looked at her as if she didn't care about talking about it in front of Bai Zhou, so she continued.
The priest said unhurriedly, "No." I don't know any of the top brands of Yixiangyuan, and I don't have any siblings. ”
"On the contrary, what does it mean that His Highness has tempted me so many times?"
Sima Lanting laughed, laughing loudly.
If the teacher sees it, he will reprimand him.
The festival dance is not in love, so I don't want to know what he is laughing at.
"Why is it always so coincidental that the prince is here again this time?" The sacrificial dance asked coldly.
Sima Lanting retracted his smile, stabilized his voice and replied to her: "No, this time I heard that the Lord of the Sacrifice Pavilion was coming, so I came with me." ”
"I don't know, where did the priest offend the prince?" Try to make your voice sound as normal as possible, just like talking to other people.
It's just that when this pair went to Sima Lanting, many things became different from what they imagined.
Sima Lanting just looked at her and didn't speak.
The sacrificial dance thought of what Sima Lanting said to himself that night.
The sound of the raindrops is very loud, and if you look outside, you can see that the rain will not stop for a while.
Time flies very slowly, and the sacrificial dance feels a little tormented, and it is very unaccustomed to being watched like this, and the other party is someone he can't afford to provoke. What to do?
The brain is racing, hoping for a solution.
It's just a pity that when she met Sima Lanting's eyes, her mind became blank.
......
The rain was light, and the sacrificial dance took the lead and got up and left.
Bai Zhou, who had not had time to react, was still eating snacks in his position.
Bai Zhou didn't know if it was because there was always nothing to eat in the National Teacher's Mansion, and his favorite thing every time was to eat those small snacks. When he was in the Water Shadow Pavilion, he always asked those little maids to make snacks for him.
Seeing that his master left without saying hello, Bai Zhou hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to Sima Lanting.
Along the way, Bai Zhou always kept asking why he left like this, and he didn't answer, he just felt that Bai Zhou was a little annoying.
Looking at the expression of the sacrificial dance, the surrounding aura was also wrong, and Bai Zhou didn't dare to say anything more.
The sacrificial dance was silently entangled and struggling in his heart, what happened to him just now, and his mind was blank after meeting Sima Lanting's eyes.
The rain became heavier, like the mood of the festival, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the tranquility just now was like an illusion.
Seeing that the whole body was about to get wet, the sacrificial dance was going faster and faster.
Suddenly, Mai felt something cover her body.
It's Bai Zhou's clothes.
Bai Zhou looked at the clothes that were drenched in the sacrificial dance, and the body of the man who didn't want to be normal, he seemed to know something, but he didn't say it, but silently covered the clothes.
There was also Bai Zhou's body temperature on his clothes, and the unfamiliar breath entered the nose of the sacrificial dance.
When you breathe one by one, it is mixed with the fishy smell of earth and the fragrance of soaphorns on your clothes.
The sacrificial dance didn't say much, but silently accelerated the pace.
Bai Zhou followed behind her, looked at her hurried back, and sighed silently.
It turned out to be a girl's house. Listening to the voice, he is not very old, how can he be in such a dangerous position. But fortunately, the martial arts are acceptable. Bai Zhou paused, and was pulled away by the sacrificial dance. It's like saying that the distance between the two is very long. If you follow her well, you might still be able to see her back, but if you are squinted by something else along the way, the distance between the two will become distant.
Bai Zhou can be regarded as pale, why does he have a different mood for the sacrificial dance during this time.
It turned out that I knew subconsciously that she was a girl.
When did it start in the first place? Oh. It seems to be the first time we met, and at that time, I felt that she was a little immature like Bai Yi, but because of her identity, she had to forcibly pretend that she was very mature.
Bai Zhou hooked the corners of his mouth. Caught up with the festival dance.
It's okay, no matter how far ahead, I'll be able to keep up with you, Pavilion Master.
When I went back, I was drenched inside and out, but fortunately it was raining, and there were not many people on the street for a long time.
After the rain and the sunny dusk, a color that is not overshadowed appears. The washed sky is also more dazzling and charming under the sun, attracting people's attention.
The clothes that had just been covered were also worn back into the room. They didn't go back to the Water Shadow Pavilion, but went back to their lodgings first to change their clothes.
Arlinn was disgusted that the Water Shadow Pavilion was too far away from her residence and wanted to move there, but luckily she didn't have time to move. Bai Zhou and Xu Wu lived in the Water Shadow Pavilion, but the clothes were not completely on their bodies, in order to avoid unnecessary worries, Bai Zhou was still waiting outside in the wet clothes.
The priest quickly tidied himself up, and then went out with the day's clothes. Bai Zhou took the clothes and did not speak.
"You go back to the Water Shadow Pavilion first." Said the sacrificial dance.
Bai Zhou nodded gloomily.
I'm all wet like this, and I'm all dry for the sacrificial dance, so it's not appropriate to say anything.
At the moment when Bai Zhou turned around, he saw the exhaustion in the eyes of the sacrificial dance.
My heart tingled slightly.
Pavilion Master.
......
Arlinn returns to see the priest sitting quietly at the edge of the table, all the dishes on the table are cold, and the dishes and chopsticks are arranged as if they haven't eaten a bite yet.
Arlinn asks with concern, "Pavilion Master, what's wrong?" Is it that this time things are tricky? ”
The sacrificial dance returned to his senses, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal." ”
Are you okay? Arlinn is a little skeptical, but she can't ask anything more when the festival says so.
Dishes that have not been noticed since the beginning are now being taken seriously.
Even so, the festival is only a hasty two-bite meal before saying that it is full, leaving Arlinn alone to face the table of dishes.
