Chapter 37: Work is still needed
The next day, Qian Zhaozhi took a small note written by Sheng Jingming and set off from the gate of the palace, and the car stopped at the gate of the market under the coachman turning left and right.
The coachman shouted outside: "Master, the carriage can't get in, did you tell Jin Wuwei to open the way?" ”
Qian Zhaozhi had already heard the lively clamour, she opened the curtain and looked, as she guessed, she followed the address and came to the largest downtown area in the capital.
She said, "You don't need to open the way, just walk over." ”
It was the morning market now, and the vendors had stalls on both sides of the road, and if she forcibly opened the road with great fanfare at this time, the good reputation she had accumulated some time ago would be gone.
What's more, Qian Zhaozhi doesn't need to be so active when he travels.
Some people looked at the carriage curiously, but everyone was more concerned about the work at hand.
Qian Zhaozhi walked forward along the address given on the small note, and finally stopped in front of a large mansion.
There are two tall and mighty stone lions standing at the door, and there are many small vendors gathered on both sides of the road, opening their mouths to shout at the guests coming and going, which is prosperous.
No matter how you look at it, it's not a good place to live in seclusion...
Yun Shu stepped forward and knocked on the door, but he didn't see the porter come out to answer for a long time, as if the huge mansion was empty.
It's all here, so naturally you can't go back to the palace so easily.
So, Qian Zhaozhi took Yun Shu to order some food at the stall next to him, and waited while eating.
It's been an hour, and no one has pushed open the brand new wooden door.
Yun Shu glanced at the stall owner who wanted to stop talking, and whispered: "Master, could it be that the residence given by the palm print is wrong?" We've been waiting all morning, but no one has come out or entered. ”
There are many things to do in the mansion, and nearly 100 people are waiting for dinner with their mouths open every day, how can no one come out to buy in the morning?
Qian Zhaozhi also had the same guess in his heart, but he never said it clearly.
Fat Tiger had been staring at their little vendors, and leaned over and said, "Are you looking for the host master?" ”
Qian Zhaozhi's eyes widened and asked, "Yes, what does the old gentleman know?" ”
The old man hurriedly waved his hand, and a blush appeared on his old cheeks, and he was very embarrassed.
"What did the noble man say, the old man has only lived in this small alley for a long time, so he knows more things than others."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the curiosity of others.
The old man came to Qian Zhaozhi's side and whispered: "In the early part of this month, the weather was cold at night, and my stall selling mutton soup had a good business, so I didn't confiscate the stall in the middle of the night. ”
"After the last guest left, I felt sorry for the cost of the oil lamp, so I blew out the oil lamp."
I didn't get to the point for most of the day, but the others still listened attentively.
"I saw the young man who drove the carriage from the master's house, who drove the carriage out in the middle of the night, and many more carriages went out later."
"If I'm not mistaken, there should have been four or five wagons out that night."
Leaving in the evening, and there were four or five carriages, there were many suspicions everywhere.
According to the old man, in the first half of the year, it was almost the time when Sheng Jingming said that he would invite the host master to be the examiner.
The host master lived so close to the Imperial City, it was impossible that he hadn't heard the news.
A thought flashed through Qian Zhaozhi's mind, she reasonably suspected that the host master had heard about it, so she fled overnight and quietly.
She lifted her skirt and got into the carriage, and said, "Let's go, go back to the palace!" ”
Yun Shu threw down a few taels of silver on the table, and hurriedly got into the carriage.
As soon as the little old man heard that they were going back to the palace, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, thinking that this group of people was going to eat white food again, but he didn't expect to see the silver as soon as he looked up.
He was very moved, but he heard the person next to him look at him with envy.
"That's the eldest princess of the dynasty, maybe there will be a chance to become the first empress of Daqian in the future!"
"yes, you're in luck!"
When the little old man heard this, he happily cleaned up the stall.
Originally, I thought that this group of people had eaten here for so long and delayed him to close the stall, but I didn't expect such an unexpected joy!
In the palace, Sheng Jingming looked at Qian Zhaozhi who was crazy here, and said: "The big is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the forest, don't you understand such a simple truth?" ”
Qian Zhaozhi blinked, it was the first time she had heard this sentence.
"The host master has not left Kyoto, he must still be in the mansion, as for whether you can enter the door of his house, it depends on your own ability."
Qian Zhaozhi hung his head and occupied Sheng Jingming's soft collapse, trying to empty his mind, not knowing what method to use to get the host master out of the mountain.
Sheng Jingming threw a letter on Qian Zhaozhi and asked, "How much have you heard about the host master?" ”
Qian Zhaozhi said weakly: "Everyone already knows the things that have been passed on by word of mouth, and there is no way to know more detailed things." ”
Sheng Jingming laughed and continued: "The host master participated in the imperial examination three times, and was finally pulled down from the champion platform by the first emperor, if it were you, would you be able to bear it?" ”
Comparing his heart to his heart, Qian Zhaozhi felt that if it were him, he would probably collapse a long time ago.
"The host master cares about the people, so he also chose to live in seclusion outside the imperial city, and he has also achieved a little success after doing business, helping the small vendors in this alley pay taxes every year, and is widely praised among the people."
Qian Zhaozhi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that there was such a thing in it.
Sheng Jingming glanced at the stunned Qian Zhaozhi, and continued to add: "The host master has a very heavy hostility towards the Great Qian Imperial Family, you should be mentally prepared for this matter, right?" ”
“…”
Qian Zhaozhi: To be honest, there really isn't...
She muttered a little dissatisfied, and said, "It's not that I make him unhappy, so why bother me." ”
"Your surname is Qian, what you keep in your body is the blood of the first emperor, anything the first emperor did will be counted on every prince and princess, the so-called repayment of father's debts and sons, the same reason."
I understand the truth, but it's not the same way to do it.
Qian Zhaozhi didn't stay for a long time, just briefly complained a few words, and then went back to the dormitory to continue to think of a way.
Sheng Jingming looked at the back of Qian Zhaozhi leaving, and different emotions gradually appeared in his eyes, but he soon devoted himself to his work.
Daqian's career is not yet complete, and he still needs to work hard!
