Xia Da enjoyed being an uncle, threw out a piece of silver grandly, and said to the round-faced little sergeant guarding the city, "There's no need to look for it, Lord Qin's carriage has arrived!"

All the sergeants hurriedly gave way, bowed and nodded in compliment. "My Lord, please!"

Cheng Zhou lifted the curtain of the car to reveal his face slightly, nodded, and went to the carriage again. Shi You, who was asleep in the carriage, opened his eyes dazedly by his movements, and let out a soft sound from his nose. Another long, lazy and viscous questioning tone came, "Huh?"

Cheng Zhou watched Shi You's eyes half-opened hard, but his body still maintained the most comfortable sleeping position. This defenseless posture, from the very beginning, even when he wanted to kill Shi You the most, Shi You always wanted to kill Shi You. With such a posture exposed, no matter when and where, he can sleep peacefully beside him.

Do you trust him from the bottom of your heart, or do you never take him seriously, and any misdeeds will cause Shi You to retaliate in an instant?

Maybe Shi You didn't think about it that much at all, just sleep when you are sleepy?

Cheng Zhou was silent for a long time, Shi You resisted the desire to sleep well, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, sat up, the long rabbit fur cloak covering his body took the opportunity to slip down to his lap, revealing his naked body in pure white jacket. upper body.The middle jacket is the best hang silk, it is light and soft, and it fits next to the body, fully outlining the young man's slender figure, showing a different kind of natural elegance.

Cheng Zhou stared at Master You's disheveled and open collar in a blink of an eye. The delicate collarbone matched the whole figure, smooth and slender with neat lines, and his skin had a jade-like luster.

Cheng Zhou turned his head away suddenly, his tone was a little hasty, as if he was avoiding something, "I want to go to the palace immediately to see the Fifth Prince," and he suddenly didn't want to call Shi Er Lord Yan Luo any more, and said vaguely , "Let Xia Da take you."

As he said that, he stretched his legs and jumped out of the carriage.

Xia Da pulled the reins straight in shock, but fortunately the good horse didn't kick the man off on the spot, it just flicked its tail impatiently and neighed a few times.

"Master?" Xia Da couldn't figure it out, the young master's temper was getting worse day by day.However, when he thought that the young master was not around, he could let go of playing, and he became happy again. He excitedly opened the curtain and said to Shi You who was lying down again, "Little master, we have arrived in the capital. If you want to play, please open it." Let's play, this is the young master's territory, and the young master can bear the sky!"

Shi You yawned, and gave him a look, "You opened it up to play, and Cheng Zhou went to mend the broken sky?"

Xia Da laughed awkwardly when he heard the words, "Young master and I have one life." After thinking about it, now the young master and Shi You have one life, and it is even more embarrassing, "Eh, I didn't mean that, I mean that we are not separated from the young master. "It's very strange no matter what you say, in the end you have to lower your head and look at Shi You pitifully, "Hey, little master, don't play tricks on me, just tell me where you want to go to see and play, today is If you can't come back to the Hou's mansion, why don't you take it easy."

"Oh?"

In the blink of an eye, Xia Da suddenly felt that he understood why Cheng Zhou entered the palace in a hurry, cursed inwardly, his face wrinkled into a big bun, hesitated for a while, and said, "Eh,,, we The young master, the young master also knows, that, that is, the young master, he is relatively poor."

How poor are you?It is so poor that except for the magnificent plaque on the facade to show the style of the Tianjia, after entering the gate, it is simply a deserted city.

The Hou Mansion occupies a huge area, and the location of Feng Shui has been carefully inspected by a famous teacher. There are two natural hot springs, one large and one small, which can be considered unique. Unfortunately, weeds are overgrown, and there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere. The carved door of the flower hall squeaked, and the door smashed to the ground, stirring up a fine cloud of dust.

Shi You wrapped her cloak tightly to cover her mouth and nose, stepped on the mahogany door to enter, and saw that the room was empty, without any furniture, as if no one had set foot there since it was built.

The entire Hou Mansion was empty from the front door to the back kitchen, every blade of grass was clearly written with "poor" under the sunlight!

The poor are open and frank, the poor are righteous, and the poor are aboveboard.

Logically speaking, Cheng Zhou shouldn't be so poor, he was a Marquis when he was young, a first-class Marquis of the Qin Kingdom.Usually, if you have nothing to do, you can copy a corrupt official, catch a big thief, go to the border countries to kill a few dignitaries, all of which are lucrative errands.It's a pity that he is not popular, and half of the hundred and ten countries around the court are enemies.

The bureaucrats of the same dynasty were walking on the street, and they met an acquaintance a few steps away, "Hey, Mr. XX is doing well recently. I haven't seen you for a few days, and he is even more handsome."

No matter how bad it is, ordinary people walk on the street and meet an acquaintance a few steps away, "Hey, I'm out shopping so early, have you eaten?"

Cheng Zhou usually didn't go out, and occasionally walked the street, and met an enemy a few steps away, "Hey, you're so brave to come out alone, come here, copy this guy and beat me to death!"

Of course, because of Cheng Zhou's power, the enemies are very submissive to the face, but they will definitely gnash their teeth and swear at the villain one by one in secret. If the news of Cheng Zhou's death comes one day, it will definitely be a festival to celebrate together. .

Cheng Zhou was not in the mansion all the year round, so every time he came back, he saw the courtyard that had been looted and smashed by all kinds of enemies. The long-term inn couldn't bear the face of Lord Qin, so he had to repair it every time. Hulala is gone.

When Shi You looked at him with those penetrating eyeballs, Xia Da's bottom line disappeared, and he took Shi You back to the Hou Mansion in a daze. Yuan Shang, immediately embarrassed to dig a hole to bury himself, forced a smile with difficulty.

Shi You carefully looked at the Hou's mansion, evaluated how much the current Hou's mansion would be worth when disassembled and sold, and turned around, "Does your young master like gold?"

"Who doesn't like gold? Look at this Marquis mansion. The poor are nothing but grass. Don't look at my young master's tone of being careless and rich like dung. One day it will rain gold from the sky. Go out and pick up a bathtub on top of your head!"

Shi Er turned her head when she heard the words, and asked quite seriously, "Guess, how much gold can you take to smash your young master so that you don't have to think about how to kill me every time you have time?"

"Ah?" Xia Da didn't understand why, "You are so rich, the young master can't wait to confess you, why would you want to think about other things?"

Shi You opened her mouth, swallowed it again, and looked at Xia Da pitifully, "You and your young master must have grown up in love."

Xia Da smiled complacently, and then changed his face and said angrily, "Just because of this iron-clad affection, the young master is still thinking about how to sell me for money every day, and expects me to sneak back and let him sell it a second time."

Shi You smiled kindly, and Xia Da, who was so used to seeing Shi You's beauty, was dumbfounded, and pointed his finger around the Hou's mansion, "Good boy, find someone to clean up right away, I want to clean it up on the moon. Live in before you come out."

Unaware that Cheng Zhou, who was scolded by Xia Da, rubbed his nose, walked two steps from the rafters of the precious Mulan building with gold leaf fragrance, and looked up at the sky. At this time, Xia Da and the others should also go to the Hou Mansion Yes, but Xia Da is so naughty, maybe he went to the inn.

"Please, Lord Marquis." The female official in palace attire interrupted Cheng Zhou's thoughts with a smile, and made a very respectful gesture of invitation.

Cheng Zhou nodded at her and strode in.

Bronze cranes held lamps, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was still in favor of tude. Most of the royal family used calm and thick black, and the grandeur was the most important. They were decorated with gilded copper beasts, interspersed with rare jade.At the same time, respecting the west, bypassing the vermilion screen engraved with pictures of immortals celebrating birthdays in the middle, and walking westward for more than ten steps, the footsteps were weakened to almost nothing by the cashmere blanket woven by the top weavers for three years as a tribute from the Western Regions.

The fifth prince was wearing a black uniform and was writing something with his wrist hanging beside the table, but he didn't stop. Cheng Zhou didn't care about being polite, he found a place to sit comfortably, and the little maid next to him was very disrespectful to Cheng Zhou. He was already familiar with the strangeness, and after serving a cup of tea as usual, he made a gesture to greet all the maids and guards to leave respectfully.

Cheng Zhou drank hot tea, and slowly told some of the secrets he learned during his trip to Goguryeo.Finally, he talked about meeting Yan Luojun when he was hunted down and seriously injured.

The fifth prince stopped writing after listening, finally sighed and put down the pen helplessly, and said, "You are not such a submissive person, are you? You just obey other people's orders when you control your life?"

Cheng Zhou glanced at the fifth prince from the corner of his eye, then drank his tea, "You know how poor I am, so Lord Yan Luo paid for this journey."

The fifth prince never expected such an answer, and once again sized up the little boy who didn't even smell a trace of copper on the surface, "Oh, what about now?"

"Now that you pay for me, I can consider the matter of imprisoning Lord Yan Luo."

"captivity?"

"That's right, look back at your 'revenge for kindness' eyes. I have no intention of not repaying my kindness, but just repaying it in my own way."

The fifth prince looked at Cheng Zhou as if he was insane, "Prisoning everyone, is this a kindness?"

Cheng Zhou nodded without any pressure, "He was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and he had to find and overdraw his spiritual veins as soon as possible. If he kept looking for it like this, he would be courting death. What's more, he was trapped in the mountains before and couldn't come out—for sure. There is a force against him, so how long do you think he can live?"

"..." The Fifth Prince was speechless.

"The most important thing is that I made a contract with him." Cheng Zhou put the teacup back on the table, "That is to say, if he dies, I will die with him too. And I haven't found what I promised. , I can't die."

"So, you want to imprison him, find someone for him yourself, and then cancel the same life contract?"

"Yes. Help me mobilize some eminent monks and masters. I will design an ambush in Qingjiao Mountain to catch him and lock him up."

This kind of thing doesn't need to be considered at all. Whether it's from the point of petty affection or rational analysis, all the five princes agreed with a nod. After thinking for a while, they said, "If you know what Yan Luojun's body is You can get twice the result with half the effort, I heard that the perfumer Tian Shiki has a very sensitive nose and can distinguish all the smells in the world, you might as well bring a personal item of Yama-kun and ask Tian Shiki to smell it for you."

At the same time, Shi You was sitting on the only old-fashioned chair in the yard, holding his chin and watching Xia Da command seven No. 80 people to repair the yard.

The scene was noisy and lively.Xia Da didn't stop, busy like a spinning top, checking the bills with the accountant on the left, waving to the long-term worker on the right for a change of wood, and answering the contractor's plan for the yard.If it wasn't because of countless repetitions and rich experience, he would have succeeded in getting the stubborn Xia Da to kneel down and call him father.

From this point of view, Xia Da is a good housekeeper, at least he is better than a gourd. Although he is not brilliant, he does not make mistakes.

"From Yuegongmen to the north of the rockery, wintersweet is planted. What? Wintersweet is not popular now? Well, Princess Qi's family will do the same for everything."

"The hot spring stones are all collapsed and you can't see it. Hurry up and replace them. Curry still has an ivory screen. Put it on."

The craftsmen are also familiar with it, but some details are different. When the moon comes out, let alone the weeds and rubble, at least it looks like a residence, and a side courtyard has been tidied up.

Xia Da was sweating in his hands, and rushed over to claim credit, proudly showing off the small courtyard under his command. "Little master is tired too, I'll carry you to your room."

A wooden stick appeared out of nowhere in Shi You's hand, and it was pressed against Xia Da's chest. Seeing that he had served him well for so long, he didn't directly throw him away, and pushed Xia Da back two steps, "Go take a bath first. "

The Fifth Prince pushed open the door of a small cubicle at the corner of the side hall, "Here, this is the birthday gift I prepared for the Queen Mother this year. It was the silk screen that was the favorite of King Dali of the previous dynasty. King Dali fled from the city. It was time to hide it, some time ago, my people accidentally discovered it, and it was just shipped back."

Cheng Zhou raised his eyes to see that it was a set of twelve pear blossom wood and silk screens, with the pattern of Danfeng Chaoyang.The workmanship is extremely fine, with the pattern of group longevity carved on the top and the pattern of double fishes embossed on the bottom, implying continuous blessings and longevity, and more than auspicious celebrations.

The fan uses countless silk threads to express the gradual change of colors, and Danfeng's eyes are full of majesty and compassion, which are lifelike.

Cheng Zhou looked it over carefully, "It is indeed a rare and exquisite product, do you need me to compliment you on your sharp eyesight?"

The Fifth Prince sighed, "I need you to ask Tian Shiki to identify the body of Yan Luojun, and help her to make a kind of incense to cover up the stale smell of this screen. The number one perfumer in the Great Week is too difficult to talk to." No, you are so unafraid of power that you don’t even give face to the royal family, and you refused me if you said you don’t have time in the near future—I still have to ask you to help.”
