As soon as the door of the "squeak" firewood room was pushed open, the smell of wine that had been stuffy all night came out, and Qingrong frowned slightly.

"People... Is it really okay? Yun Niang followed Qingrong's side, and saw that this monk was tied up by the guards arranged by Qingrong in Jiang's residence, stuffed a strip of cloth in his mouth, and threw him in the firewood room, and he is still unconscious.

The guard stepped forward and probed his mouth and nose, "It's still breathing, and the person is not dead." ”

Qingrong also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she asked the two guards to take a good look at this person, turned around and took Yun Niang and Ah Zhen to find Jiang Xuniang, she asked, "What was the situation last night?" ”

Jiang Xuniang was obviously frightened, and a little afraid, she shook her head and said: "I don't know very well, I forgot when I was doing needlework with Bai Li in the house last night, and when I heard the movement and went out to see, I saw that the monk was knocked unconscious on the ground!" The two guards said that this man had come in over the wall, and he was sneaking into the house, so they knocked the man out and tied him up... I also went to take a look, I haven't seen this person, I don't know where he came from. ”

The more she talked about it, the more frightened she became, no matter what the intentions of this sneaky person who sneaked into her yard in the middle of the night were, fortunately it was discovered by Lu Qingrong's people, if something really happened, she and Bai Li were not opponents of a big man. Last time, because of Jiang Dalang's incident, Lu Qingrong sent two guards to guard the courtyard, and he couldn't see anything outside, and he wouldn't be too eye-catching.

Yun Niang asked, "Lady, look... Do you want to report this to the police? "A drunken monk sneaking into the woman's house in the middle of the night doesn't sound like a simple thing.

Before Qingrong could speak, Jiang Xuniang immediately shook her head, "No! The official just made this matter bigger, and with the previous incident, it was too conspicuous. Since he came secretly, it would be better to deal with him directly, and then quietly let people be thrown out of the city at night! "If you don't know it, no one will know it, and it won't involve her.

Just kill someone?

Qingrong groaned: "This person seems to be a monk from Xizhou, and he also has the identity of a good citizen, and it is against the law to kill a good citizen at will." I don't know which temple he is, if he dies like this, it's hard to say that there won't be another incident, but I'm afraid that it will be more troublesome then. ”

Jiang Xuniang was a little anxious and asked, "Then what do you say?" ”

"I think I'll call the guards to watch him first, and wait until tomorrow morning to knock him out and throw him on the streets of the city, and he will definitely not come back to entangle him in public, and then find someone to follow him and inquire about his identity."

Jiang Xuniang was a little uneasy, what Lu Qingrong said was not impossible, but she was powerless, and she was not afraid that person would turn around and unite others to retaliate, so after a few entanglements, she had to open her mouth to Lu Qingrong and ask her if she could let herself go to her for a few days.

Qingrong thought about it and promised her, it was really not good for her to show up more outside at the moment.

Qingrong asked Yun Niang to accompany her, and when she came back together after packing her bags in the morning, she and Ah Zhen went back first and asked people to clean up the house.

After the people left, Ah Zhen couldn't bear to stay next to Qingrong and asked, "Lady, do you plan to let her live all the time?" ”

Qingrong thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Probably she herself won't want to live forever." "And Jiang Xuniang knew from the beginning that she wouldn't stay in this Xizhou forever...

When Ah Zhen heard this, she also sighed with emotion, "This Jiang lady is really different from before." In fact, she didn't have much impression of this county lord who had only met once, she only remembered that she had openly embarrassed the lady in front of the Guogong Mansion, and the others were very vague, but in Xizhou these two times, she felt that the "county lord" had really changed, and in the past, she would never think of her obedient and polite face to the lady now...

Qingrong sighed lightly, "Time has changed, it's just normal." ”

She didn't feel angry about it, after all, those misunderstandings had passed for a long time, and it wasn't a bitter thing. Although she didn't have any special feelings for Jiang Xuniang, she did feel that it was not easy for her, and she didn't think about taking the opportunity to embarrass her. Qingrong feels that it is actually good to be so peaceful now.

"Let's go back and let the next person clean up the house, the furs I asked you to send yesterday are probably not so fast, and you can find two new coats from me and send them to her house when you go back."

Ah Zhen nodded in response, "The maid knows." ”

……

After Xue Shao went home and heard Qingrong say this, he didn't say anything, and said, "You are in charge of the family's affairs." ”

Qingrong nodded and smiled, "Okay." By the way, do you know that the person who said that he was going to take Xu Niang to Dunhuang before was Ju Shizi, and that Ju Shizi seemed to have a good relationship with Xue Yan? ”

Xue Shao was not surprised when he heard this, but instead mentioned, "This Ju Shizi is still in Xizhou City." ”

"Haven't you even returned to Qiuzi? Did you see him? ”

Xue Shao said: "He came here, he must see him." Lu Kaiyan was also there that day, and a few of them joined the army, he deliberately took out the acquaintance with Xue Yan and put it on the table and said, and he deliberately favored me in and out of his words, and Lu Kaiyan treated him very warmly. ”

"Really?" Qingrong also felt a little strange for a while when he heard him say this.

Xue Shao suddenly asked, "You said that he didn't leave for a long time, what could it be?" ”

This Ju family is a descendant of the Gaochang royal family, I heard that Ju Shizi is merry by nature, and he loved to drink and have fun when he was a proton in the capital, and he didn't ask about the world, but he could return to the Western Regions safely from the capital, would he really be a person who was addicted to wine, but asked about big things? Or is it just to hide people's eyes and ears, deliberately?

Qingrong naturally knew the meaning of Xue Shao's words, Ju Yunwei's identity was special, he was nothing more than suspicious of Ju Shizi, she said: "It's hard to judge what happened for a while, but now that he's here, he can know anything earlier, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Xue Shao also thought so, so he had already arranged for someone to secretly watch Ju Yunwei's movements, and now that people were under his nose, he also wanted to see what tricks this prince was going to play. He nodded, "That's all there is to it." By the way, after some time, Ju Shizi invited someone to hunt, do you want to go with me? ”

……

Before Lu Kaiyan went home, he heard the news from his entourage.

"What did you see with your own eyes?"

His entourage nodded, his tone affirmative, "Don't dare to deceive Ah Lang, this is what I saw with my own eyes." With that, he closed his mouth tightly.

Lu Kaiyan nodded and waved him down.

After the others left, he casually packed up the table and got up to go home. While walking, I thought, this Xue Shao is really not simple, what kind of idea did he have?

During the last banquet, Ju Shizi deliberately wooed him, he was cold and polite on his face, but he was not ambiguous at all in private. Seeing that Ju Shizi liked the Jiang family, he immediately asked the Lu family to take people to his residence, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to use the Jiang family to envelop this Ju Shizi.

He is just a military general, and guarding the border is his duty, why do you spend this energy to show favor to Ju Shizi? There is also a bureau to persuade himself to sell Master Jueming a face, is it because Master Jueming doesn't want to make a noise, or is he unwilling to let people check it? From this incident of making winter clothes for soldiers, it can also be seen that he also has some contacts with Hu Shang, who has been operating in Xizhou for many years, has he already made the idea of winning people's hearts?

Xizhou's high-ranking men, monks, and even Hu Shang, he spared no effort to make friends, such a deliberate plan could never be without intentions! If he continues like this, I'm afraid that he will respond to Xizhou in the future! And this son, is he really a person who is really obedient to Daye? The four towns of Anxi have just been reunified, and the situation is unstable, will he also want to obstruct it?

Thinking about it like this, Lu Kaiyan felt a little frightened, and couldn't help but wonder how to deal with it, but there was one thing, that is, these two must not be allowed to join forces no matter what! Lu Kaiyan suddenly thought of Ju Shizi at the banquet that day when he said that he wanted to ask everyone to go hunting together, he originally didn't plan to go, but now he doesn't think so.

Cui Liniang had already heard the reply from the next person, saying that Ah Lang was back, but after waiting in the house for a long time, there was no one. So she got up and went out of the door, and saw her husband standing in the courtyard in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cui Liniang stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Shaoze, why are you standing here blowing the cold wind when you come back, and don't go in?" ”

When Lu Kaiyan saw her coming, he couldn't help frowning, hugged her into his cloak, and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "Why don't you come out again with a cloak, be careful of freezing." ”

Cui Liniang shrank in his warm cloak, buried in his arms, looked at him with a smile and said, "It's just a few steps, it's nothing, I haven't seen you come back for a long time, I want to come out and have a look." ”

Lu Kaiyan smiled, "I was just thinking about something, and I was distracted for a while, it was my fault that made you wait for a long time." ”

Cui Liniang shook her head, "Let's go in." ”

Lu Kaiyan looked at her and smiled warmly, "Okay." ”

The two entered the house together, and Cui Liniang ordered her subordinates to set up a meal.

She pulled Lu Kaiyan to sit down and said, "Two days ago, when the weather was good, Ah Jin and I went out, and we were also going to get some cloth back to sew winter clothes. ”

Lu Kaiyan looked at her, his originally depressed mood suddenly improved, he shook his head, and said, "Keep it for your own use, just do these things to pass the time, don't be tired of yourself." I see that you have eaten less these days, and you have lost weight. ”

"I don't really want to eat it, I feel greasy when I look at those soup cakes, and I can't eat them."

Lu Kaiyan asked her, "Then what do you want to eat?" Let the chef cook you some appetizers? ”

Cui Liniang smiled, "What a coincidence, today the kitchen made this papaya shred, sour and spicy appetizing." I ate well, I used half a can at noon, can you taste it? ”

Lu Kaiyan grabbed a chopstick, and it was so spicy that it couldn't be done, Cui Liniang was funny when she saw this, and hurriedly gave him tea, Lu Kaiyan couldn't eat spicy, and the tears were spicy this time. He shook his head and laughed, "You used to not eat spicy things, but now your taste has changed drastically!" People say sour and spicy girls, I think eighty percent of you are a girl in your belly. ”

Cui Liniang smiled: "If that's the case, it's not bad." ”

"It's not enough to eat vegetables, you also need to eat more meat." Lu Kaiyan paused and said, "In a few days, Ju Shizi invited General Xue and them to hunt together, and I will also go, if I can meet a deer then, I will bring it back to you, I heard that this deer blood venison is very nourishing." ”

Cui Liniang doesn't have any appetite now, but when she reads his mind, she just smiles and says yes.
