The young grandson of the Chen family's house was carried back to the Chen family, and his face was disgraced. Hearing the news, the arresters quickly surrounded Fang Manting, and only caught an innocent Deng Mian.

Chu Zhixia took the snatched person on the spot and fell out of the window in Fang Manting, rode a horse all the way and galloped wildly, and disappeared into the imperial capital at night.

How similar the scene is.

Chu Zhixia really has nowhere to go, and now he will definitely be blocked when he returns to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence. It was Jiang Qiao who showed the way, and the two walked along the inaccessible road, and walked to an alley on the edge of the dock before slowly stopping.

The coolies on the docks are still working, and the alleys are brightly lit. The lights were on in the shops that had been doing business all night long, and the spicy and piping smell came. Chu Zhixia took out a few copper plates, bought two bowls of spicy fish soup, and sat by the river with Jiang Qiao to drink it.

The warm fish soup went down to the stomach, and the cool breeze blew, and half of Chu Zhixia's wine was gone.

"Miss Chu, you don't have to be like this." Jiang Qiao lowered her head, and her slender long hair fell down, covering her slender neck, "A person like me is just such a fate." It's not worth offending someone like Chen Gongzi for me. ”

"It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I'm happy." Chu Shixia said lazily.

If she remembers correctly, Chen Jixun should be the grandson of the regent, and he is still the cousin of the third prince of the crown prince. Chu Zhixia was holding back a fire in his heart, which happened to pour on him, and it was not all for Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao laughed softly.

"The last time I said I was going to redeem you, I wasn't joking." Chu Shixia suddenly said, "I asked in Fang Manting later, other girls are either raised there since childhood, or their families are in trouble and sold in, there is always a clear origin." ”

Jiang Qiao knew what she was going to say, and waited quietly to ask.

"It's just you, you seem to have appeared in Fang Manting out of thin air. I don't know my hometown, my name, or my parents," Chu Shixia joked, "It's as if you're a lonely ghost." ”

Of course, Chu Shixia knew that Jiang Qiao was not a lonely ghost. She must have been forced into the Fang Manting Court, and the people who sent her in were so extraordinary that no one dared to ask her where she came from, and there was no way to ransom her out.

"Who the hell are you?"

Jiang Qiao shook his head, "It's not good for you to know." ”

Jiang Qiao took another sip of the fish soup, and his wide sleeves fell between his elbows, revealing the scars on his snow-white arms. It was a new wound and an old wound, and there was such a deep and shallow red blood color layer after layer.

Chu Zhixia's eyelids jumped, she has always been tolerant and caring for her daughter's family, and the little maids in the family are rarely beaten and scolded, let alone abused to this extent.

Jiang Qiao noticed her eyes, and hurriedly rolled back his sleeves and tied the cuffs tightly with a hairband.

"Actually, if you want me to ask for it, you might as well say it directly." Chu Shixia suddenly said, "No need to do this. ”

Chu Zhixia is not a fool, he can find abnormalities when he thinks about it before and after.

Although Jiang Qiao was trapped in Fireworks Willow Alley, he had always treated it indifferently, and he had a kind of calmness like ashes, I don't know if he broke the jar or really didn't care.

Why did she desperately resist Chen Jixun? Jiang Qiao had long known that he couldn't get out of Fang Manting, Chu Zhixia could protect her once, but he couldn't protect her again and again, if Chen Jixun wanted to retaliate, Jiang Qiao couldn't say if he still had his life.

Unless she wanted to get someone's attention, such as Chu Zhixia.

Selling miserably and pretending to be pitiful, Chu Zhixia has seen too many of these tricks, but he is not willing to criticize Jiang Qiao. Not only because Jiang Qiao helped her, but also because Chu Shixia knew that she couldn't help herself, and she might not even be able to save her life.

"You helped me, remember? I owe you a favor. Chu Shixia said, "You can make a request to me, even if it is more difficult to get you out of Fang Manting than ascending to the sky, I can do it for you." ”

"You...... Have you ever been to Jiangnan Guangling City? ”

Jiang Qiao said with difficulty, "In the snow lane of Qing'anli, Guangling City, there is a house with phoenix flowers, and there is a woman surnamed Qiao living in it. Can you help me find out, is she still alive? ”

Chu Zhixia was stunned, not because she couldn't leave the imperial capital an inch, but because she was surprised by the anxious and nervous look on Jiang Qiao's face. Jiang Qiao has always been faint and expressionless, even if he is bullied and trampled, he is like a snowdrift beauty, with no temperature.

As soon as this pleading came out, Jiang Qiao seemed to come to life.

"It's going to take some time, you'll have to wait for me." Chu Zhixia said.

——

The next day, Weiyang Palace.

"You're getting more and more reckless!"

Chu Zhixia knelt down in the hall upright, and a book smashed at her with her head and face. Chu Zhixia didn't dare to hide, and was honestly smashed.

"If you don't come to the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, you say that you are uncomfortable, and if you are uncomfortable, you will go to that kind of pickled place to compete with others, be jealous, and grab powder! He also beat people like that, and now the whole emperor knows about it......" The emperor was embarrassed, slapped the two tables hatefully, and glared at Chu Zhixia with hatred.

The little boy who knew that the Chen family's house was beaten badly during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and returned home from the jade square through half of the imperial capital with a bare bird.

"The minister is drunk, and his blood is out of proportion for a while, and he asks His Majesty to atone for his sins."

Chu Zhixia was well-behaved on his face, and said in his heart, if he hadn't drunk too much, when he came out of Fang Manting, he would find an alley sack and put it on his head, beat him into a pig's head, stripped him and threw him in the most crowded place in Qunyufang.

The Emperor sneered, "What's the use of you letting me forgive my sins?" ”

Chu Zhixia saw that his face was ugly, and his heart said no, right? He asked cautiously, "Did the minister beat him to death?" ”

The emperor almost couldn't catch up in one breath, and said angrily: "You still don't think you beat people badly enough? ”

That's not dead.

Chu Zhixia knew this, nodded subconsciously, was glared at by the emperor angrily, and quickly shook his head.

Chu Zhixia let out a long sigh, pinched his thigh under his sleeve fiercely, and forced out two tears, "It's not all about that powder." The little son of the Chen family kept saying that the minister's father and mother died early and no one taught him, and the minister was carried away for a while. Please also ask Your Majesty to punish you. ”

It's all an excuse, Chu Zhixia doesn't have much affection for her father and mother who haven't met a few times. If Chen Jixun scolded Chu Mingyan and Chu Mingxiu, Chu Zhixia might really find an opportunity for him to endure hardships and let him know what it means to accumulate virtue in his mouth.

Chu Zhixia gave birth to a good skin, bright and beautiful on weekdays, and easily refused to show weakness, once he was in tears, he had the lamentable beauty of cold plum breaking and jade shattering, and no one could help but be soft-hearted.

Chu Zhixia sobbed softly, knelt for the emperor without raising her head, and did not beg for mercy, and kept asking the emperor to punish her.

The king of the old town north sacrificed his life for the country and died of exhaustion, and now Chu Mingyan has great respect for his mother.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and he was crying with pity by Chu Zhixia's tears.

How is it that he fought with the assassin's sword to block in front of the emperor, and crossed the rebels to surround and save his little girl. Even if it's a little stubborn, it's just because of his young age. The emperor inevitably couldn't bear it, the abacus in his heart crackled, and after weighing, he still asked Chu Shixia to get up.

Chu Zhixia insisted on refusing, and insisted on making amends to the little son in the Chen family's room.

After going back and forth, the emperor finally slapped the table and became angry, "Is his Chen family's ass very clean?" I can't say that I can't pursue it, how dare he? Who dares to ask you about your sin? ”

——

Chu Zhixia walked back to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence, and bought a bunch of chicken and dog gadgets on the way. Yuzhu couldn't get used to her virtue, and always felt that she was going to get into a big disaster at any time, and her eyelids jumped.

"Jumping wealth in the left eye and jumping disaster in the right eye," Chu Zhixia pointed to her eyes and said, "Yuzhu, you are going to soar." ”

Yuzhu pressed her hand and gave her two deep snorts, "I just want the eldest lady to be safe, and if I am poor, I will be poor, it doesn't matter." ”

"You're trying to call me honest." Chu Zhixia pinched her face.

Yuzhu sighed, "You're honest, aren't you safe?" Why did you hit the son of the Chen family this time? ”

Chu Shixia lifted the corners of his robe, sat down on the railing of the Water Pavilion, and said casually: "It's not pleasing to the eye." ”

Yuzhu looked at the pile of candied fruits and sugar on the table, and knew in her heart that Chu Zhixia was angry with the Chen family.

"Eh, Yuzhu, you can help me find a caravan to Jiangnan." Chu Shixia said, "I have something to do. ”

"It's good to buy something and go to the trading house," Yuzhu was puzzled, "What are you looking for a caravan?" ”

"My good sister, this is not for trouble." Chu Zhixia raised three fingers and swore, "I won't inform you in advance if I cause trouble." ”

Yuzhu rolled her eyes and went helplessly.

Chu Zhixia lay alone in the water pavilion for a while, drowsy. A man suddenly walked slowly into the water pavilion, stood behind her and fanned her for a while.

"Pei Gongzi, if you have something to say, just say it." Chu Zhixia pushed away his fan without looking back, and said.

Pei Zhang was punched by her that day, and his face was swollen for several days before he could see anyone. Chu Zhixia didn't apologize to him, and Pei Zhang didn't turn his face in anger and moved out, and there was lukewarm between the two.

"Chen Jixun is a gentleman, the Chen family doesn't value him very much, but what you do is not as thoughtful as usual." Pei Zhang said, "What are your plans, why don't you tell me about it?" ”

"I don't have any plans, I just don't like him." Chu Zhixia closed his eyes and said, "This kind of man who has achieved nothing, the only thing he can be proud of is two taels of meat under his crotch, I want to abolish him, so what?" ”

Pei Zhang frowned, he felt that what Chu Zhixia said was not the truth.

Chu Zhixia will never lack yin tricks, and if he wants to deal with Chen Jixun, he will never make trouble to the point that everyone knows about it.

She just did it on purpose.

But why? annoyed the Chen family, although it will not be a bloody disaster, but the words and officials will not be able to hide from the verbal criticism, reprimand, and suspicion and hatred.

Pei Zhang didn't believe in the folk argument of "jealousy for the sake of the Oiran of the Jade Pavilion", the girl involved in it was just a girl with some attainments in the flute, far from being so beautiful that it was demagogic, let alone an Oiran.

"You still hold a grudge against me for sinking the boat?" Pei Zhang hesitated.

"If you mention him again, I will bury you in this pool." Chu Zhixia said in a non-fluctuating voice.
