Chapter 31: Pretending to be innocent
"My lord's words are serious, I went to Xingning County, but it doesn't mean that I didn't go to Dabei Temple."
The girl's tone was light, "Going to the Great Compassion Temple to repay the wish is the main reason for the little girl to go out of the city, as for Xingning County, but by the way." ”
"If you say it by the way to Xingning County, can you believe it yourself?"
Zhou Bi didn't bother to lift his eyebrows, "If you say the opposite, you can win people's trust more than your original words." ”
"Edit, you keep editing."
"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth anyway." Li Yan simply put it in a mess.
Knowing that he was a dutiful son, Li Yan lowered her eyes for a moment, and said, "If you really don't believe it, the little girl can also swear to the sky, the little girl treats the old lady like the old lady treats me, and the little girl will never fool the old lady if she bluffs anyone." Otherwise, where did I get the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra to give to the old lady, so are you relieved? ”
Zhou Bihe laughed twice: "It's better to be like this." ”
But there was a look of disbelief on his face.
Li Yan clasped her hands together and said solemnly: "How can you speak vainly in front of the Bodhisattva." ”
The little girl was wearing an azure robe, and this clear and prismatic appearance really had the meaning of a lotus seed in front of the Buddha.
Zhou Bi was noncommittal, but he no longer dwelled on this matter, "Since I went to Xingning County and didn't find anyone, I should always find some news." “
"For example, how old is the other person? Where did the fight come from? What are the supernatural powers? ”
When it came to the head of the Floating Cloud Dao, Zhou Bi's eyes lit up, and he showed unusual interest in this person.
Li Yan didn't speak, biting her lip and nodding at him reluctantly, then shook her head again.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Bi was anxious: "Did you hear about it?" Still haven't inquired? ”
"Usually clever tongues, but now you are playing a dumb riddle for the official."
"You can't be angry with me?"
"I don't have the leisure to be angry with you."
Li Yan sighed, her voice wilting: "It's not like I ran away in vain, and I haven't heard any useful news!" “
The girl's mood is as cool as this rain in the sky.
Seeing this, Zhou Bi guessed that the little girl in Xingning County had suffered a setback.
Otherwise, with her noisy temperament, where could she be so silent.
Zhou Bi put down the thoughts in his heart, and immediately comforted the girl, "Also, the general masters are ethereal and have no fixed place, and it is not unusual for you to find no one." As for the news, it is naturally best to inquire about it, and there is no need to worry too much if you can't inquire about it. “
Zhou Bi's heart was already sunny after the rain at this time, and in the spirit of the mentality that more things are better than less things, he decided to let the little girl go first.
As for the matter of the head of the Floating Cloud Road, the water here is so deep that it is not clear how to fold it in if you accidentally fold it.
Zhou Bi didn't want to explore any further, and after this trip, he also hoped that the little girl could settle down and stop dwelling on this matter.
...............
The rain thanksgiving ceremony is much simpler than the rain prayer ceremony, and a lot of steps are omitted in the middle, and the ceremony is held exceptionally smoothly.
The square is still crowded with people, but unlike yesterday, the people have no pressure, and their faces are relaxed and comfortable.
Li Yan put incense in front of the altar, thanked the river god, and pretended again, and after bluffing people, she patted her ass and returned to the medicine fragrance hall.
On this trip, it was still Zhang San and Li Si who escorted them back.
Kumquat carried the food box given by the old lady, looked at the backs of the two leaving, and muttered: "Miss, although the county magistrate has his own careful thoughts, he is actually not bad. It's good for the people, and it's good for the young lady. You see, you've been tricking him all the time, and he's so worried about you. ”
Every time they returned to the incense and medicinal incense, the county magistrate sent officials to escort them all the way.
Kumquat used to call him a dog officer, but now that he thinks about it, it's really a bit too much: "Otherwise, let's not catch a wool pick." I saw that his eyes were blue, and he must have been worried about the safety of the young lady last night, and he didn't sleep well all night, so it's pitiful. Baozhu and He Xiucai's affairs, the county magistrate also contributed to some extent. ”
The little girl was sympathetic for a while, and said good things to Zhou Bi in front of her.
"Really?"
Li Yan pursed her lips and pretended to be innocent in the little girl: "Speaking of pity, your young lady is the most pitiful, if it weren't for the young lady and I being smart, now you and I are already separated on Huangquan Road." ”
The girl gestured, pressed the corner of her eye, and forced her to tears.
and told the little girl about the great relationship of the matter, "As for Zhou County's order, he is the biggest beneficiary of praying for rain, and now who in the county and county sees him and doesn't praise him for a word about the blue sky, with prestige and political achievements, it is a matter of time before he rises step by step." Although I blackmailed him for some silver, he didn't benefit more than a mere amount of silver. It's not so much that I set him up, it's that he actively seeks to get together. Don't look at him as annoying, but in fact, he is happy to do it. ”
The relationship between the two is purely of interest, and they know each other well.
These entanglements of interests may not be understood.
If you think about this matter further, there are many twists and turns behind it, and now it involves the forces of other parties, and it is difficult to say what the final direction of the matter will be.
It's just that the little girl is not deeply involved in the world, and her heart is soft, plus the previous time, this is the second time that the little girl has opened her mouth to intercede for others.
But she has her own considerations, and some things are not easy to say to the little girl.
In the end, it is still the same sentence, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others.
If anyone deceives me, I will deceive him.
If anyone respects me one foot, I will return it ten.
She Li Yan has always had clear grievances.
Kumquat couldn't wait to slap himself backhanded, his own affairs were still alive, how could he sympathize with others.
Obviously, my own young lady is the most pitiful.
Kumquat held her hand and looked firm, "Miss, I was wrong, I thought things too simply, don't cry." In the future, I will protect Miss and will not let anyone bully Miss . ”
Kumquat secretly vowed to be strong and protect the good lady.
Li Yan immediately burst into tears and laughed when she heard this, staring at the little girl with a pair of clear eyes, and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for the day when our kumquat becomes bigger and stronger." ”
Kumquat: Miss's supernatural powers are becoming more and more magical, and even tears can be so freely controlled, amazing!
But it's so sad to have a young lady with all the skills?
It seems that she is so useless.
How can she become strong and protect Miss?
Li Yan looked at the little maid who was deep in thought and thought of her previous life.
In the previous life, Kumquat lost his life because of a momentary soft-heartedness.
In his previous life, Kumquat met a beggar in front of Bofu, and when he saw that he was pitiful, he gave him a bowl of hot rice.
Unexpectedly, that person was coerced and lured by her "good sister" Li Mingzhu, and repaid her grievances with virtue.
Identifying Kumquat as stealing and selling Li Mingzhu's colorful glass hairpin, Kumquat was killed and imprisoned and died in prison.
And she was controlled by Li Mingzhu at that time, and it was difficult to move an inch for a long time.
Thinking of her previous life, the girl's expression was like ice.
When she entered the Medicine Fragrance Hall, her whole person calmed down, and there was no difference in her eyes.
The girl pointed her hand towards Kumquat and whispered, "Kumquat, in a quarter of an hour, you go out quietly through the side door to see if Zhang San and the others go and return." ”
"Yes, miss." Li Yan said this, and Kumquat understood.
Dare to love the county to order the lord to carry out the benefit of supervision in the name of escort, isn't it that every move of their master and servant is all under the control of the yamen.
No wonder Miss thinks about it.
Kumquat put the food box down and went to do the errand that Li Yan had explained.
The master and servant whispered behind their backs, but this word had already penetrated into the ears of others.
