Chapter 199: A Little Story of Floating Incense
Mei'er put the small cloth bag on both hands, gave a salute, and said softly: "Young Master Xu, then, the slave and maid will retire first." ”
"Wait!"
Xu Qi'an took the cloth bag, didn't open it, looked at the delicate little maid, and asked, "Where does your family live?"
"The slave's family is in Jiaoshi County. Mei'er whispered.
Jiaoshi County is on the boundary of the capital, northeast, starting from the north, hire a carriage, and you can arrive in two days.
After Mei'er was not a prisoner, she was sold into the Workshop Division by her family.
The maidservants like her who are sold into the capital education department are usually poor families in the capital or around the capital. It is impossible for someone to come all the way to the capital to sell their daughters, and with this entanglement, there is no need to sell their daughters.
As for her parents, they sold her to the teaching department out of helplessness, and the disaster that year, the whole family couldn't afford to drink porridge, so they sold her, so they had a way to live.
Even if Fuxiang has silver left to her, but in a place like Jiaofangsi, which eats people and does not spit out bones, he must have taken the opportunity to blackmail her on the redemption, she is a weak woman, if the silver brought back is too small, the family may not treat her well..........
Seeing that she was dressed plainly, Xu Qi'an pondered for a while, reached into his arms, lightly buttoned the mirror, and took out a silver ticket with a face value of fifty taels and handed it over.
"Xu Gongzi, I can't ask for it. Meier shook her head repeatedly.
"You and the master and servant of the floating incense, I should do my best. Xu Qi'an said with a smile.
Mei'er's eyes were full of tears, and she choked up: "During the serious illness of the floating fragrance lady, the slave maid hated you in her heart, hated you for being unkind. The slave is wrong, you are a truly affectionate man, the floating fragrance lady has a thin life, and there is no blessing........."
Xu Qi'an was a little embarrassed, he had long known that Fuxiang was seriously ill, but he didn't think about how to face her.
As for her identity, since Zhong Li broke through the other party's broken soul, as an old criminal policeman, he connected many previous doubts at that time.
For example, why did the demon clan know that he was full of luck..........
For example, why did the demon clan secretly hide Shenshu's severed hand in his house..........
Normally, people with crippled souls can't be well-behaved, either dementia or vegetative people.
Seeing Mei'er away, Xu Qi'an sat in the outer hall and opened the package.
Inside are two letters, a book, and a butter jade bracelet.
A letter was written when I went to Yunzhou through Qingzhou. One was written when I went to Chuzhou to investigate the case, passing through Jiangzhou Butter County.
Xu Qi'an just wanted to put down the bracelet and the two letters, but suddenly felt that the touch was wrong, opened the letter in Qingzhou, and poured out a dry and wrinkled lotus petal.
Xu Qi'an, who was originally only slightly sad about Fuxiang's death, suddenly felt like a suffocation.
It turns out that from beginning to end, that's all I have given you.........
He unfolded the letter and read it silently, his heart souring for a long time, recalling his past with the Oiran.
When I was wandering around the forums before, I heard people say that the real deep sadness is not an explosive cry, but the half of the carton of milk that opens the refrigerator, the green basket on the windowsill that swayes in the wind, the quilt that folds on the bed, and the noise from the washing machine in the quiet afternoon.
Taking a deep breath, he carefully put away the envelope and bracelet and turned his attention to the book.
The blue book cover, without a title, unfolded it, only to find that it was some essays written by Fuxiang, with beautiful handwriting, recording some strange stories.
The book says that there was a high cliff where an old eagle lived, and the eagle had six children, and one day, the eagle's children were bullied, and came back to the eagle to cry.
The eagle didn't care, just stood silently on the cliff, staring at the ground.
So, the eagle's child flew away and never returned.
At the bottom of the cliff was a dangerous jungle where a tiger was sick and could no longer catch its prey, so he sent his henchman fox to lure the small animals into the cave to satisfy the tiger's appetite.
The fox thought that the tiger could not do without it, so it gradually swelled, and it joined forces with the wolves to eat the noble white rabbit.
The tiger knew about it and chose to turn a blind eye and shield the fox.
The wise monkey king of the forest notices that something is wrong and sends his monkeys to check the fox. In order to prevent the fox from deceiving the small animal, the tiger said to the python:
You go to the big black bear and say that his cub was eaten by a fox.
When the big black bear found out, he was furious, broke into the fox's house, and killed the fox.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Qi'an frowned, pondered for a long time, and didn't understand what this story revealed.
There is a strong sense of déjà vu, but for a moment, I can't remember.
He didn't think much about it, returned to the inner courtyard, sharpened his sword intent, and cultivated heaven and earth with a sword.
After lunch, he rode the little mare to the goulan, changed his clothes in the goulan, and left on foot, and then arrived at the agreed private house and entered the carriage of Lin'an.
Then take the carriage of the royal princess, the wheels roll, and drive into the imperial city.
When approaching the area where the clan gathered, there was also a luxurious carriage made of rosewood on the opposite side.
"Stop!"
In the oncoming carriage, there was a cold voice from Huaiqing.
The two carriages stopped, Huaiqing opened the window, sat by the window, half-poked out his beautiful face, and said, "Lin'an, didn't you say that you have been unwell for the past few days, where did you go?"
Groove ........ Xu Qi'an sat in the carriage, his face stiff.
I secretly dated my sister and was hit by my sister halfway.
Huaiqing frowned and said, "Why don't you speak?"
What I want is Master Luo's time management, not Master Luo's rollover.......... Xu Qi'an's mind was full of grooves, he pinched his throat, coughed a few times, and then, without answering Huaiqing, he lightly instructed the coachman:
"Let's go. ”
After the fifth grade, he can perfectly control his body, including his voice, and it is not difficult for him to temporarily make a thin female voice. As for whether it is like or not, with a cough as a foreshadowing, it is understandable that Lin'an's voice has changed slightly.
I hope Huaiqing didn't notice it........
I was fooling around with Lin'an all afternoon, talking to her, playing chess, drinking tea, and occasionally touching my body, becoming more and more harmonious and natural.
At the beginning of Shen Shichu, he left Lin'an Mansion and left the imperial city in a framed carriage, and just after leaving the city gate, Xu Qi'an heard a familiar, cold voice again:
"Stop!"
Groove ......... Xu Qi'an almost lost his ability to manage his expression, and without waiting for Huaiqing to speak, he pinched his throat and coughed hard, coughing hard.......
Then, he coughed Huaiqing in.
Wearing a plain palace skirt, beautiful and picturesque, the eldest daughter of the emperor pushed the car door, got into the carriage, and looked at him coldly, her eyes as clear as the pool water in late autumn, with banter and anger.
"Huai, His Royal Highness Huaiqing........"
Xu Qi'an forced a smile, although there was no mirror, he knew that his current expression could be described in seven words - embarrassed and polite.
"Xu Gongzi is very capable, he entered the imperial city privately and had a tryst with the princess, I am afraid that my father will not have the handle to cut off your dog's head, right? Huaiqing's voice was cold, and his pretty face was like frost.
"I've always been careful. ”
He pointed to his face, which was the face of the little brother Xu Erlang.
He said to Lin'an that if something went wrong, he would say that she was looking for a Ji Ji Shi to explain the scriptures and learn from them. As for whether there was a "Private Teaching .avi" in the process, no one knew if the palace maids were dismissed anyway.
Huaiqing sneered: "When you meet with Lin'an, do you have any palace maids and guards who have retreated?" ”
"Naturally. ”
"How many times?"
"Yes. ”
Huaiqing Qiushui's eyes were bright, he looked at him calmly, and said lightly:
"Lin'an is not as good as this palace, among the guards and palace maids in her house, who is Concubine Chen's person, she herself may not know. There is nothing wrong with the members of the royal family asking Shu Jishi to explain the scriptures, but they have retreated from the people again and again, and I dare to conclude that Concubine Chen already knows about it, but she is still waiting.
"You have offended Concubine Chen to death in the case of Concubine Fu, let her seize the handle and sue her father instead. Do you want to die, or do you want to push out the old resignation to take the blame?"
I just said today that I want to go on fewer dates......... Xu Qi'an bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me." ”
Huaiqing nodded with satisfaction: "From now on, you are not allowed to see Lin'an again." ”
......... Xu Qi'an looked at her in shock.
Huaiqing explained seriously: "Bengong has said, she is no better than Bengong, and I don't know how much eyeliner there is around her." It's too risky for you to meet her privately.
"If there is anything in the future, it can be relayed by the main palace. Well, if you have to meet, come to Huaiqing Mansion. This palace will help you make an appointment to come out. ”
In this case, everything is under your nose, how can I still hold the framed little hand.......... Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart and said:
"Could it be that there is no outsider's eyeliner in His Highness's mansion?"
Huaiqing glanced at him and smiled contemptuously.
"His Royal Highness is really smart, and his wrists are superb, a hundred times stronger than His Royal Highness Lin'an. Xu Qi'an immediately offered his fart.
Huaiqing was noncommittal to his sycophants, and continued: "Three days later, Guozijian will hold a cultural meeting in Luhu Lake in the imperial city, which is related to the war in the north and the historical grievances between Dafeng and the Wushen Sect. ”
"Good!"
Xu Qi'an could only nod.
Huaiqing nodded with satisfaction, and said with a light smile: "In another twenty years, the summer will pass, and the imperial court may have to fight. What does Gongzi Xu think?"
Since the cultivation of Emperor Jingdi of Yuan, he has worked hard and lost money, and in order to fill the emptiness of the treasury, he has come up with a way to squeeze the squire.
What can I think, I'm not a squire.......... As soon as Xu Qi'an thought so, he heard Huaiqing say coldly:
"Xu Gongzi has a lot of money, so it is better to donate a little. ”
"Donate, how much?"
"How about eight thousand taels. ”
Xu Qi'an's face suddenly became sluggish.
...........
It is impossible to donate, and it is impossible to donate in this lifetime........ In the evening, Xu Qi'an dragged his tired body back home.
After lunch, he lay on the bed when he heard the door creak open, it was Zhong Li, who had returned from bathing.
"Are you okay this afternoon? Xu Qi'an asked.
"No, not hurt, just almost died. Zhong Li whispered.
“?”
Xu Qi'an immediately sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhong Li suddenly became aggrieved, and said with a crying voice: "I am practicing hard in the house, but you don't know what's going on with that broken knife, and suddenly went crazy, and a sword stabbed at me, just one centimeter away, and my head moved." ”
Xu Qi'an comforted: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"It's not over, your broken knife has been chasing and killing me, if it weren't for Daochang Li coming to save me, I would have died. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
"It didn't end there, in the process of subduing it, Daoist Li accidentally used the wrong spell and scattered my soul, and it took her an afternoon to summon me back. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
"It's not over, after the soul was summoned, I found out that I was forced into a piece of glutinous rice cake by your child, and I almost suffocated to death. ”
"And it's not over?"
"It's over. ”
What should I do to save you, my fifth senior sister.......... Xu Qi came from the grief, beckoned to the Taiping Knife, and reprimanded: "Why are you bullying her." ”
The Taiping knife buzzed and vibrate.
I don't know why I suddenly look at her upset........ Such an idea was passed on to Xu Qi'an.
I don't know if to blame Taiping or you for a while! Xu Qi'an was sad again, and said softly: "Senior Sister Zhong, my bed is for you to sleep on, and I will sleep and sit down today." ”
Zhong Li shook his head again and again, curled up on his small collapse, feeling very secure.
At this time, a familiar palpitation came, and Xu Qi'an subconsciously took out the fragments of the book from under the pillow, lit the candle, and checked the information of the book from the ground.
[Six: The health hall is being monitored, and someone wants to deal with the poor monks. 】
This is the biography of Hengyuan.
Someone is going to deal with Master Hengyuan? He shouldn't have offended anyone, right?
Xu Qi'an was stunned for a few seconds, and reacted violently, isn't the person Hengyuan offended by Emperor Yuanjing. Whether it was the action to block the forbidden army when he killed the two princes, or the protection of the lotus seed in Jianzhou, he was against Emperor Yuanjing.
[2: Are you in the health hall? Is there any danger? I'll come over immediately. 】
The Swift Woman is always anxious for what people are anxious about, and there is no ambiguity in helping others.
[Six: The poor monk is not in the health hall, today someone is in Nancheng to inquire about my information, and the people I helped before secretly reported to me.
[I left the health hall and hid in a nearby house, and after dusk, someone ambushed near the health hall. 】
[Four: Don't bother with them, hide in another place. 】
Chu Yuanzhen gave advice.
[Six: The poor monks are worried that they will attack the children and the elderly in the health hall. 】
[Four: Do you know who the other party is?]
[Six: I don't know.] 】
Xu Qi'an wrote with his hand and said: [This is not difficult to guess, it is our Majesty's person. 】
