Chapter 55: Disapproval
Honglu Temple is the place where the imperial court receives VIPs, because the king of Qi has been stationed in the fief for many years, and in order to express his loyalty, there is no mansion in Beijing, so he also lives in Honglu Temple. At this time, it was still early, and it was the territory of the official family, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, only the two guards standing at the door looked at this side suspiciously.
While pulling, Chi Tao thought that it would be better to knock Achu unconscious and let Shao Cheng carry it back. Just about to raise his hand, the gate of Honglu Temple suddenly opened from the inside, and a group of people walked out with a sedan chair in the middle.
Achu has been paying attention to the door, and at this moment, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the sedan chair, like a treasure, he broke open the peach and rushed to him: "Father!" ”
King Qi was stunned for a moment, and his heart was also shocked, and a person next to him who often casually reprimanded: "Where did Diao Min come from!" ”
Chi Tao saw the face of the King of Chu for the first time, and his heart was sudden. She has a lot of experience with Yi Rong, and has studied the head bones for this purpose, and suddenly understood why the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not doubt the identity of the fake county lord - in addition to her etiquette and demeanor, there is also the fact that the face of the fake county lord and the king of Qi are carved out of the same mold!
Ah Chu looked at King Qi fixedly, tears flowed from his eyes: "I am Ah Chu......"
A trace of unbearability flashed in King Qi's eyes, and he immediately turned his head and whispered to Chang Sui, and then stopped looking at Ah Chu.
Seeing that a few passers-by were gradually surrounding him, he strode up to Ah Chu, picked her up, and said disgustedly: "Where did the woman come from, do you want to be rich and crazy?" What kind of family drama is coming to play? As he spoke, he threw her out, "Our prince doesn't care about you, if he comes to make trouble next time, he will put you in prison!" ”
The people around laughed and whispered.
Chi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, so that she would not fall to the ground, Ah Chu only stared at King Qi, and saw that King Qi had already walked away, but King Qi did not look back at himself, and cried loudly.
King Qi vaguely heard a few cries, his eyebrows moved, and before he could speak, he leaned over casually and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, those who become big things are not informal." ”
King Qi sighed: "She ...... after all"
"Originally, the prince had already arranged for the county lord, and on the way to Beijing, he was unconsciously taken to Beizhuang to recuperate..... who knew that the mountain bandit was so powerful, he actually killed the county lord's guard, let the county lord run away alone, and was replaced by the black-hearted Hui people's daughter...... Many links in the middle went wrong, but fortunately, our people were clever and intercepted and replaced with a pearl girl outside Beijing, but the county lord was really out. This is also a fate. ”
"It's just that now many people are also eyeing this king, and once they make a mistake, they will fail. knew that Achu was close to him, but he couldn't even send someone to see if she was doing now. ”
"Don't worry, I have been secretly inquired about by someone, and the family is doing business and has recognized the county lord as a sister, but it is solid. Besides, what we are doing, the county lord is innocent and scheming, so it's better not to let her get contaminated. Miss Mingzhu was born in the folk and has a plan in her heart, but at this time, she is more suitable to stand in front of the stage than the county lord. ”
"There's another hidden danger." King Qi frowned, "That family ......"
Chang Sui smiled: "But the ordinary people - besides, even if they had any thoughts in their hearts, and we denied it in person today, what else could they do?" ”
King Qi's eyebrows were still furrowed, so he had to sigh, and his voice gradually became inaudible: "It's okay...... If it does, she will be able to come back. If it doesn't work, let her live. ”
Chi Tao didn't expect that the petite Achu on weekdays would burst out with such amazing strength, and she couldn't catch up with her skills in training every day. Now that the King of Qi has clearly rejected Ah Chu's confession, Ah Chu sat on the ground as if he had been drained of his soul, his head buried deep in his knees, and he did not move. Only when Chi Tao got closer, she could notice that her shoulders were trembling invisibly.
Chi Tao sighed and stroked Achu's shoulder: "Let's go back first." She glanced around, there were more passers-by than there were, and some people were enthusiastically telling those who didn't know what was going on: "I don't know which girl is crazy...... Holding the prince of Qi to call his father, I don't want to think about it, the royal family is so easy to climb? Then I'll recognize the emperor as my father! ”
There was a burst of laughter from everyone, and Achu's head was buried deeper.
Shao Cheng was a little angry: "Scattered, scattered!" Packed up all your work today? I'm free to gossip here! ”
Everyone laughed and dispersed, and Shao Cheng ran back and said in a muffled voice: "Go home." ”
The spring snow has not been opened for a day, and the door of the Chi family has not been opened again.
Achu lay on the bed, his big eyes full of tears, staring at the top of the blue tent and not moving.
Chi Xing came in with a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar and sat on the edge of the bed: "I haven't eaten for a day, let's get up and eat two bites......
Achu rolled over and turned his face against the wall.
Chi Xing sighed, put the bowl on the table, and went out again.
When the two people in the courtyard saw Chi Xing come out, they both looked at her.
Chi Xing shook her head.
"Let her go." Compared with Chi Xing, who dotes on Achu on weekdays, Chi Tao doesn't have too many worries, "It's not something that can be accepted for a while if something like this happens suddenly." ”
Chi Xing was a little angry: "After all, it's his own daughter, how could he ......?"
"You want to get more than you sacrifice." Chi Tao turned to Shao Cheng, "Brother Shao, I'm sorry." Achu is extraordinary, I haven't told you the truth...... Achu is the daughter of the King of Qi, and on the way to Beijing, she met gangsters and was separated from the guards. But for some reason, King Qi suddenly denied her. ”
Shao Cheng didn't ask today, but he was quick-witted and had already guessed seven, seven, eight, eight, and saw Chi Tao speak, which confirmed his guess.
He was really a little angry that Chi Tao had been hiding it from him, but he also knew that this matter was not trivial, and one more person knew that it would be more risky, and if it was him, he might not confess, so he was relieved: "It's okay." But what now? ”
Chi Tao shrugged indifferently: "King Qi will never come to kill Ah Chu and us-if he wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he should put us in prison in Honglu Temple today, wouldn't it be clean." In that case, Achu is still my sister. ”
Shao Cheng and Chi Xing had no other way, so they had to go about their own work, no matter what, Chun Ningxue was the family's livelihood, and it would still be opened tomorrow.
The next day, Chi Xing took care of Achu at home, and Chi Tao and Shao Cheng started their business as usual in Chunning Xue.
After more than ten days like this, Achu gradually improved, but he was no longer as bright and carefree as before, and he was no longer willing to go out easily.
Chi Tao was secretly anxious in her heart, and led her to cover her face and go to the market a few times, but all the things she glanced at bought back one by one.
Chi Xing cooks meals at home and keeps looking at the door.
Shao Cheng jingled in the firewood room for a long time, felt thirsty and came out to drink tea, saw Chi Xing tiptoe at the door and looked at the mouth of the alley, thinking of Chi Tao in the past few days to Ah Chu saddle up the horse, he was bent on coaxing Ah Chu to be happy, originally thought that Ah Chu was Chi Tao's sister, but he didn't feel anything, but now that he knows the truth, he can't help but feel bad in his heart. Seeing that Chi Xing was always pure and kind to these two people, he became more and more anxious, in order to avoid suspicion, Chi Tao easily did not talk to Chi Xing when he was not at home, and at this time he couldn't help but shout: "Brother and sister." ”
Chi Xing turned around and smiled: "Brother Shao, are you done with your work?" Let's take a break, the tea I just brewed in the hall is the maple dew tea you love to drink on weekdays. ”
Shao Cheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Hey, it's not that I like to drink, it's just that I was in the Welcome Building, and the best thing is Fenglu, and we are used to drinking the rest of the guests......" He suddenly remembered the purpose of his conversation, "Ah Tao has been going out with Ah Chu a lot recently, you should also go shopping with him." ”
Chi Xing smiled: "The two of them went out, I'll go again, who cooks at home?" ”
"Hi...... This, this. Shao Cheng was hot in the brain just now, and now he feels that it is really difficult to say that it is difficult to let the family take a good look at Xianggong, so he was robbed, so he had to say euphemistically, "In the end, Miss Achu is not Ah Tao's sister, you can also avoid suspicion." ”
Chi Xing understood what Shao Cheng meant, and couldn't help but show a smile on her face: "Got it." ”
Shao Cheng saw that she looked unimpressed, anxious in his heart, and didn't know what to say.
Chi Xing suddenly said happily: "Peach, Achu!" ”
Chi Tao held a bunch of objects and gadgets and followed behind Ah Chu, who held a colorful windmill in his hand and ran to Chi Xing: "Sister Xing, this is for you." ”
Seeing that there was some joy on her face, Chi Xing was happy in her heart, and hugged Achu's shoulder: "Sister doesn't like to play with these, you can play by yourself." Today I made your favorite food, so I'm ready to wash my hands and eat. ”
As he spoke, he also pulled Chi Tao: "You two go and change your clothes outside." ”
The three of them entered the house with a smile, Shao Cheng was dumbfounded, and scratched his head for a while: "What can I do!" ”
A few days later, Shao Cheng found an opportunity when no one was around, and came to knock Chi Tao again: "You have a lot of free time recently." ”
Chi Tao was looking at the account book and replied casually: "Mr. Xie thinks he is busy and doesn't come often." Otherwise, I really can't take care of Achu. ”
Shao Cheng choked: "After all, you and her are not relatives, you should always pay attention to some proportions on weekdays......"
Chi Tao's heart moved, closed the account book, and said with a smile: "Achu has nowhere to go now, I don't take her in, where will she go?" ”
"You're a lady with a lady!" Shao Cheng was in a hurry, and blurted out the words, "You are like this, how can you let the apricot lady deal with herself?" ”
Chi Taohun didn't care: "What are you afraid of?" She deliberately showed a lewd smile, "Although Achu's identity is unknown now, he is the county lord after all, if King Qi changes his mind one day, wouldn't I ......?"
Shao Cheng's eyes were red with anger, and a fist came over: "You can't be so ungrateful!" ”
Chi Tao flashed to the right, dodging the attack, and still stimulated Shao Cheng in his mouth: "Although my lady is good, she has nothing but a gentle temperament, if the county lord does not agree with me to divorce her." ”
"The apricot lady treats you so well, you, you ......" Shao Cheng was shocked, "You villain!" ”
