Volume 1 Chapter 17 The Upper Lip Line
In the evening, in the royal house, in the small courtyard
Xu Yan rubbed his hands and sat down at the table early, he hadn't eaten anything all day, and he was indeed a little hungry.
The delicacies that were carefully prepared gradually filled the whole table in the busyness of the people, and of course, the pot of wine, which was worth a thousand gold.
Xu Yan did not give up his image because of hunger, he continued to wait, waiting for all the pre-meal preparations to be completed.
In this gap, he thought of the expression of the old man Qing an hour ago, such as stunned, surprised, regretful and other emotions, Xu Yan felt that this was one of the most wonderful expressions he had seen since he lost his memory.
may be a little preoccupied with thinking, Xu Yan smiled a little silly. The sound of the thrush reached Xu Yan's ears in time, thus interrupting Xu Yan's state of being an idiot.
"All right, all of you go down, and don't go into this room unless you say hello."
As soon as the thrush finished saying this, Xu Yan used a wine ladle to help the thrush add a glass of wine, and then filled the glass in front of him. Xu Yan drank it all as an appetizer, and then feasted on a few pleasing dishes on the table, of course, before eating it, he would smell whether there was any taste of goat's milk.
"Slow down, slow down, don't rush!"
The thrush said as if coaxing a child, which made her originally somewhat depressed brows, but under Xu Yan's coherent movements, she actually stretched a little.
"I... No... You... Wait for me..."
What Xu Yan wants to express is that I don't have the ability to talk and eat while you are there, wait for me for a while. But at the urging of hunger, this very simple sentence was vaguely spoken.
But to Xu Yan's surprise, Thrush actually understood Xu Yan's vague words and responded.
"It's good to know, you eat first, don't worry, I'll wait for you!"
After a cup of tea, Xu Yan was full of wine and food, and leaned back on the chair a little disregarding his image. Eating is such a magical process, when you eat faster, it is easier to eat, when you eat slower, the total amount of food eaten is less.
...
Thrush looked at the Venerable One who was a little disregardful of the image, and his mood seemed to change for the better. I don't know what His Holiness and Grandpa Qing said in the main house in the afternoon. Anyway, it's better to ask directly.
"Venerable, I heard from the people that you left the house in the morning?"
After the thrush said this, His Holiness sat up straight and replied earnestly:
"Yes, I went to a pawnshop on Bullpen Street, where I met your mother!"
The thrush opened his mouth in surprise, and the Venerable relayed what had happened to the thrush.
When the thrush heard this, the mother said, "I am doing this to cherish the thrush, you must not bear her!" At that time, she seemed to see her mother standing in front of her, in this world, it turned out that there were still people who would feel sorry for themselves, thinking of this, some crystals in her eyes almost blocked her vision.
While the thrush listened, His Holiness finished talking about what had happened in the morning. Thrush pondered for a moment, got to the heart of the question, and then asked:
"Venerable, what do you think, what is the relationship between Grandpa Qing and Wang Xiyan and this pawnshop?"
His Holiness responded, "I have a guess in my heart, if you can help me make an appointment with Wang Xiyan tomorrow, if nothing else, I can get an answer tomorrow." I think this answer will definitely help you! ”
Thrush nodded, in this huge Jiangzhou city, in addition to his mother, the only thing he really pays to himself is the man in front of him, from Zhongzhou to Jiangzhou, he has been creating surprises for himself along the way, and it seems that he has gradually developed some trust and dependence on him.
This should be a good thing! Thrush touched his face, slightly feverish, he obviously hasn't drunk yet, forget it, don't think so much, ask another question.
"His Holiness... What about your afternoon? Did you give that handkerchief to Grandpa Qing? ”
"Got it, got a key, a very important key!" His Holiness replied.
Thrush felt that this answer was a bit pretentious, and he would always complain about it in the past, but today it sounds a little pleasing to the ear.
In between the thrush's wandering minds, His Holiness asked a question:
"Thrush! I only want to know one thing, and that is whether the time is ripe so far? ”
The thrush looked at Xu Yan in front of him, although he was wearing a mask, it was not difficult to guess according to the face shape that there should be a handsome face under the mask. Especially when Xu Yan said this question, his mask did not cover his mouth, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the curvature of the upper lip line was a little beautiful.
"Thrush, do you hear me?"
Thrush heard the reminder of His Holiness, and she touched her cheek again, was she a bit nymphomaniac just now? When the thrush saw that the glass was full of wine, he quickly drank it all, then picked up the ladle, filled it to himself, and then drank it all again.
After three cups...
Not...
Seems to be a little drunk...
"Xu Hanguang! I think the time is now! Thrush said suddenly.
The Venerable in front of him did not speak, but just picked up the wine ladle and added a glass of wine to the thrush, and then quietly waited for the thrush's next words. The thrush picked up the wine glass and drank it again! Then he said very quietly:
"Our plan is actually quite simple! As long as you can get a letter of recommendation with your father's seal, and then go to the government of Jiangzhou City, no matter how many customs clearance guides you need, the only difficulty is that your father's seal is locked in the study, and there will be someone to guard it on weekdays!
But two days later, there is an opportunity, my father will hold a banquet at home to entertain a very important dignitary, according to the past practice, the number of people guarding the study will be slightly reduced, I have already planned the route, and I have written a letter imitating my father's handwriting, as long as that day, you can help me attract everyone's attention, let them ignore my presence, just a stick of incense, I will have a way to enter the study, and...! ”
After Thrush laid out the plan, her whole person seemed to become a little more relaxed. She tried to pick up the ladle and add another glass of wine to herself, but found that the ladle was hidden behind her.
"Thrush, you've drunk too much!"
This Xu Hanguang, oh no! How His Holiness's voice sounds a little good!
At this moment, the thrush saw that His Holiness's cup was filled with wine. After thinking about it repeatedly, in the astonished eyes of His Holiness, the thrush snatched the wine glass and drank it all again.
"Xu Hanguang! When you were in Midstate, well... The third question didn't answer me, hmm... I'm now! Not... Just to know the answer! ”
The thrush's vision was a little blurry, and he only saw His Holiness lips moving slightly, as if he was saying something, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
Still, the thrush uttered a word with the last of his sense!
"Xu Hanguang, the upper lip line at the corner of your mouth is a little good-looking!"
With that, the thrush lost consciousness.
...
Following
Xu Yan was still awakened by the sound of birds in the side room, and he remembered the thrush that was drunk and out of shape last night, which was a little funny.
With the help of the subordinates, the noisy thrush was finally sent back to the room, but although the thrush drank too much, he didn't say a wrong word in front of the subordinates, whether this was talent or luck.
Xu Yan walked slowly to the bronze mirror, took off his clothes, and looked at the tattoo on his back, if it is calculated according to ten days, it should be able to recover another one tomorrow, but now it is not clear, if there is some consumption on the way, it will affect the recovery time.
For the first time in the temple, two tattoos were consumed in a row, and the interval in between was too short to provide a reference.
But where did this tattoo come from? Now that Xu Yan is a little free, he silently sorted out the clues about the tattoo.
When he was in Zhongzhou, Thrush once said to Xu Yan that Xu Yan ate a black ball in front of Nanyan and Thrush, and then fainted.
Xu Yan has no memory of eating black balls at all, and according to the available information, the black pills seem to have become the key to Xu Yan's amnesia.
After he fainted, Nanyan and Thrush faked the scene, Xu Yan's upper body was naked when he woke up, so when they took off Xu Yan's clothes, did they see tattoos? This kind of small detail is also very important, but it requires a certain amount of questioning skills, otherwise it will attract unnecessary suspicion.
Also, the red-robed woman who killed the real Xu Hanguang, when she was helping Xu Yan change his clothes, she once said that she mistook Xu Yan's tattoo for the Pope of the Holy Crown Temple, and Xu Yan did not refute it at that time. It can be seen that Xu Yan did not have a tattoo before implementing this latent plan!
All kinds of chaotic clues, because there is too little information known, there is no clue at all. Regarding the matter of tattoos, I can only take one step at a time, Xu Yan has an idea in his heart, maybe someone in the Equality Sect will know the origin of this tattoo! This whimsical idea, I don't know why it appeared in Xu Yan's mind.
The most important thing at the moment is to help the thrush successfully hide its traces in the banquet two days later. At such an important banquet, it is really not an easy thing to let the eldest lady of the royal mansion evaporate a stick of incense in the world, and not be suspicious!
Xu Yan counted the chips in his hand, and always felt that there were some key clues that could connect everything, Xu Yan closed his eyes gently, and simulated today's meeting with Wang Xiyan in his heart again and again, this is the last chance! If only today something could be confirmed! Then, everything that is left will naturally fall into place.
About two pillars of incense later, there was a knock on the door from the people.
"Uncle, the eldest lady invites you to have breakfast!"
Since getting the approval of Thrush's father, the people have changed the direction of the wind, and they have an aunt, and they are called very attentive.
If it weren't for Xu Yan's strong request last night, I am afraid that he would have been forcibly left in the thrush's room by the subordinates.
Xu Yan responded and pushed the room open.
