"Accompany you?" Xu Qi'an said, of course this is not good, if it is just you, I can just take it a moment, and add the vicious aunt then it will not work.

"I know it's too much, the eldest brother will go to the yamen tomorrow to be on duty, but my mother wants me to come and persuade the second brother to guard at the door. ”

Xu Lingyue must have been dark when she opened it, and she herself was so scared that she couldn't sleep, but she threw the pot to her mother.

Stay at the door.... The second uncle must be happy in the teaching department, but he wants me to guard the door for his wife and daughter.... Xu Qi'an sighed and said helplessly: "Okay." ”

He put on his clothes, and in order to stabilize the hearts of his aunt and sister, he specially brought a black and gold long knife.

"I'm sitting outside, you go to sleep. Xu Qi'an snapped the door with his fingers.

"Okay, thank you, big brother. ”

"Thank you, Lord. ”

The voices of my sister and Lu'e came from the room, soft and beautiful. The aunt stubbornly did not speak.

Xu Qi'an meditated cross-legged, while carrying the qi machine, while visualizing in his mind, after a while, his aunt's slight voice sounded in his ears:

"Will it float in through the window, what if Ning Yan falls asleep. ”

“... Mother, don't talk nonsense, the eldest brother has a knife. ”

When the aunt heard that her nephew was guarding outside with a knife, she was immediately relieved.

There was no word in the room for a long time, only the sound of snoring came out, which was Xu Lingyin's. You can make up for her lying on the bed on all fours, sleeping soundly with her mouth open.

After a while, the aunt shouted, "Ning Yan?"

Xu Qi'an said angrily: "I'm here." ”

So, every once in a while, he coughed, and the ladies in the room would not be afraid to hear his magnetic cough.

It makes sense for the aunt and sister to be afraid, because the house is really haunted, not an ethereal story.

After a long time, this fear will naturally fade away.

After another moment, the aunt's complaining voice came, "Lingyue, don't stick to your mother so closely, it's weirdly hot." ”

"Mother~" Xu Lingyue's aggrieved and coquettish tone.

The aunt felt sorry for her daughter, so she didn't speak again, and after a while, she suddenly lowered her voice: "Lingyue, have you grown so big?"

Xu Qi'an's ears moved, and when he heard this, he didn't feel anything at first, but his aunt's tone was very strange, he listened, and sure enough, he heard his sister say shyly:

"Mother, don't laugh at me, how can you be big. ”

"Nonsense, my mother has already given birth, but at your age, it's not as big as yours. The aunt said, sighing:

"You're old enough to get married. ”

Xu Lingyue was silent.

... Poor Lingyue, at such a young age, has two tumors in her chest that are so big. The corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth were raised, and he almost laughed out loud because of his complaints, feeling that guarding the door was not boring.

The aunt said: "You live next door to Dalang, remember to pay attention when bathing, the ears and eyes of the warrior are smart, remember to take precautions." ”

"Mother, do you mean that my eldest brother will peek at me taking a bath?" In the dark, Xu Lingyue's eyes were shining.

I won't, I don't, don't wronged me..... I washed it with floating incense in the teaching department, and I couldn't peek.... Xu Qi'an felt that his aunt was as vicious as ever, and now she couldn't scare him head-on, so she secretly made it bad and separated the innocent brother and sister relationship between him and Lingyue.

"Da Lang won't peek, so you won't be able to guard against anything?" The aunt took a sip of her daughter, then turned her head to look in the direction of the door, listened to her nephew's cough from time to time, and continued to speak with peace of mind.

.....

Xu Qi'an didn't sleep all night, exhaled the qi, tempered the original spirit, and was still in good spirits after dawn.

At breakfast, Xu Pingzhi came back, dressed in a military uniform, and did not mention green oranges in his hand, Xu Qi'an believed that the second uncle was really on duty last night, instead of going to the teaching department.

"Yesterday Lingyin ran out at night and slept by the well...."The aunt told the second uncle about last night, "Fortunately, there is still Ning Yan in the house, if he is not there, it will be really haunted..."

Speaking of which, the timid aunt was scared again, purely by herself.

Second Uncle Xu bowed his head to his nephew and asked, "What is Lingyin doing when he sleeps by the well in the middle of the night?"

Xu Qi'an said: "It's all to blame my aunt for lying to her and saying that the ghost is fried in oil, which is better than anything else." She was hungry. ”

"Oh. Second Uncle Xu nodded, thinking that this was something that his young daughter would do, and there was nothing surprising about it.

After staying in the new house, you can wake up later in the morning, and it only takes half an hour to ride a horse, which is very convenient.

Xu Qi'an arrived at the Yamen, went to Li Yuchun's Chunfeng Hall as usual, and confirmed that he was not assigned a task today, so he took Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao out to patrol the streets.

In the market, the people are flowing endlessly, the merchants are walking the streets and alleys, and the shops are full of customers. The inner city is far more prosperous than the outer city.

Xu Qi'an planned to take Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao to the health hall again, but the two little brothers were reluctant to go.

He went alone, saw No. 6 Hengyuan and the "black dog", and learned that the poor child's physical condition had improved, Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, and faintly felt relieved to unload the big stone in his heart.

"Lord Xu, the poor monk has something to ask. "Hengyuan is ten ways.

"Master, please speak. Xu Qi'an smiled quite relaxedly.

"When Lord Xu first saw that child, he said a word..."Hengyuan stared at him: "Lord Xu said: This is that child?"

"Lord Xu seems to know him, but the poor monk remembers that you have nothing to do with each other. ”

.... Damn, the impact that day was too great, and I accidentally leaked my mouth for a while. Xu Qi'an smiled, his appearance was as steady as an old dog, and he began to panic in his heart.

Numbers six must not suspect that I am number three.... Anyway, I picked up the money in front of him that day.... Well, simply picking up money is nothing, who hasn't had shit luck yet..... But there will definitely be speculation on the number six, that I am not normal, and that they may have leaned me on the number three.

But the image of the Confucian student I created has taken root in the hearts of the members of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the first impression is always the most important and unchangeable, so No. 6 is at most suspicious.... Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an sighed and said:

"I've heard Number Three say that. ”

He didn't have any extra explanations, and left the rest to Hengyuan to make up for it. First of all, Hengyuan will definitely question the so-called "superior-subordinate" relationship. The Heaven and Earth Society is not a secret force, but the Heaven and Earth Society in the outside world is composed of Earth Sect Daoists represented by the Golden Lotus Daoist.

And the other Heaven and Earth Society, which is composed of the holders of the fragments of the Book from the Ground, is the real hidden force. How could Number Three casually tell his subordinates about such a thing.

Then, No. 6 Hengyuan would investigate him with such doubts, and after checking and checking, he found that Master Xu's cousin was a student of the Confucian Academy.

At this time, he will feel that he has discovered Huadian.

Sure enough, Hengyuan didn't say anything, and his expression was calm and slightly bowed.

.... In fact, if the identity is not exposed, the problem is not big, No. 6 Hengyuan is a good person. Well, the main thing is that I'm bragging too much on the internet .... I feel ashamed to have my identity exposed.... Xu Qi'an said goodbye and left.

After returning to the yamen, Xu Qi'an received a letterhead from Si Tianjian's white clothes, saying that Chu Caiwei's alchemy had made a major breakthrough, and Song Qing called him to Si Tianjian to discuss.

... Is it so fast? Xu Qi'an mounted his horse and rode to the stargazing tower.

He saw Song Qing and Chu Caiwei in the alchemy room on the seventh floor, and also saw two pairs of dark circles with the same style.

"Miss Caiwei, pay more attention to rest. Xu Qian said, has Ning also become a master of time management?

Chu Caiwei, who had thick dark circles under her eyes and dull eyes, looked even more cute, and said tiredly: "I haven't closed my eyes for three days...."

Song Qing took out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Qi'an: "Take a look." ”

Xu Qi'an opened the cork and poured a little in the palm of his hand, the mushroom powder was mixed with fine crystal particles, he licked it, a strong umami spread in the taste buds, and his tongue was hot.

"How did you do it?" Xu Qi'an was shocked.

"Grain fermentation, add honey, purify..."Song Qing waved his hand, not wanting to explain: "You want to know the process, I'll ask Cai Wei to write it to you when you go back, you can see if it's this thing first." ”

Xu Qi'an groaned: "The taste is very similar, is this thing poisonous?"

"Non-toxic. ”

"That's it. ”

Song Qing nodded and said, "This thing is more precious than salt, and if it is popularized, the imperial court will inevitably monopolize it."

"In the past, the things produced by Si Tianjian were all operated by the imperial court, and the annual income of Si Tianjian accounted for 30%. I have discussed with Senior Brother Yang, and I will divide it with you. ”

The reason for only one percent is that Xu Qi'an only put forward the concept of monosodium glutamate, as well as some theoretical steps, some of which were correct, and some of which made Song Qing and Chu Caiwei take a lot of detours.

In this new type of alchemy, Chu Caiwei and Song Qing have to pay even more.

"Very fair distribution. Xu Qi'an nodded and said tentatively: "Then, how much silver can I get in a year, well, I know that there is a lack of evaluation basis, Senior Brother Song can roughly estimate it." ”

"It depends on how the imperial court plans to sell it," Song Qing muttered: "If it's a percent, tens of thousands of taels of silver? ”

After speaking, he found that his hand was firmly held in the palm of Xu Qi'an's hand, and the gong said earnestly and affectionately:

"May our friendship last forever, and the sea will rot. ”

“.... Words, words are serious. ”

....

Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.

Wei Yuan accompanied Emperor Yuan Jing to stroll in the imperial garden, the sun was warm, this royal garden covering an area of 20 acres was planted with a variety of precious flowers and trees, winter and spring are two completely different scenery.

"Frost kills all grasses, flowers and trees wither, this seemingly depressed scene, under the careful tasting, there is also a special taste. Emperor Yuan Jing took his hands, meaning a pointer's emotion.

Behind him, Wei Yuan, who was half a body behind, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, depression has not been a scenery since ancient times. ”

Facing the confrontation of the eunuch in Tsing Yi, Emperor Yuan Jing just smiled and said indifferently: "In the spring of the next year, naturally a hundred flowers will bloom." ”

Wei Yuan seemed to be raising the bar: "In the spring of next year, it's still early." I don't know how long this depression will last. ”

Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at him, "Then what does Wei Qing think?"

Wei Yuan said gently: "The scene of a hundred flowers in full bloom is certainly beautiful, but when spring goes to winter, prosperity falls... Your Majesty, look at those evergreen trees in all seasons, regardless of spring breeze and autumn moon, summer and winter snow, they still exist.

"Shoveling out the diverse flowers and plants and leaving the evergreen trees is the way to go for a long time. ”

Emperor Yuan Jing withdrew his smile, his eyes squinted coldly, and Da Qingyi smiled, his eyes were gentle, and he did not retreat.

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other for a long time, and Emperor Yuan Jing said lightly: "The queen was infected with wind and cold a few days ago, and after her body recovered, she had a poor appetite and didn't eat much for a few days. ”

Wei Yuan finally looked away and bowed: "What did the warlock of Si Tianjian say?"

"My appetite is not good, but my body is healthy and resting. Emperor Yuan Jing said: "But I see that the queen has lost a lot of weight, Wei Yuan, you go to see her for me." ”

"Yes!"
