Rebirth of the Taming of the Slaves

After sending Hua Jinxiang and Hua Yuanyuan to the carriage, Hua Lingshu and I entered the gate of the mansion one after the other.Hua Lingshu walked beside me, secretly raised her head and glanced at me, her eyes were full of wariness.

It is well known in the Hou Mansion that I have always been honest with Hua Lingshu, and even made a big fuss when she entered the door.Hua Lingshu's natal family should have no good looks towards Hua Lingshu, but I just treat Hua Jinxiang differently and treat her as a friend, which makes Hua Lingshu, who is usually wary of me, even more wary.Every time Hua Jinxiang came back from me, he would go over and ask me what I had said to Hua Jinxiang.

I know she is afraid that I will hold back something bad, that I will get some news out of Hua Jinxiang's mouth that will be bad for Washington.At first I knew that Hua Lingshu was so wary of me, so I couldn't help but find it funny, but after thinking about it carefully, why didn't I learn some of the secrets of Washington from Hua Jinxiang as she wanted.Although Hua Jinxiang can speak a few words in Washington these days, he definitely doesn't know much about the inner secrets of Washington. It is impossible to get some things I want to know from him, but some side The little bits and pieces are easy.In addition, this person was not very wary of me because of his mother's kindness to him a few years ago.And I just asked him how his life in Washington was, and never asked about other things, and he was very relieved of me.

Seeing the deep disgust and hatred hidden in his eyes when he talked about Washington, I slightly hooked the corners of my mouth.If this person can win him over, I think he should be willing to help me.At that time, I will secretly help him, let him gain a foothold in Washington, and I am afraid that I will not be able to figure out what I want to know.

Back in the courtyard, Baozi was bending over to help me clean up the desk, when he saw me coming in, he yelled and then lowered his head to pack things up.After Baozi was hit on the head by me that day, he was always depressed. I saw how pitiful he was wrinkling his face, so I told him that Liang Chuyi recognized him.After hearing this, Baozi turned pale with fright, grabbed my arm and asked me what to do.I saw that he was really panicked, so I patted his head to tell him not to panic, not to go out for a while and wait until Liang Chuyi left, so Baozi was slightly relieved.Apart from helping me go to the kitchen to get meals every day, I don't even step out of the yard.Baozi originally liked to be lively, but after being held back in the yard for a few days, his face became smaller and he looked so pitiful.

Although I feel sorry for Baozi, according to the news my father brought back from the palace, the fourth princess has often gone out of the palace to look for Liang Chuyi these days. Enthusiasm, I have begun to reconsider the marriage of the fourth princess, which means that the crisis in me is temporarily lifted.If I push this matter from it, it will be more than half.And it's not that Liang Chuyi came to Beijing this time without the intention of getting married.Moreover, the fourth princess is the emperor's darling, and being able to get this woman is equivalent to a great help for him. If Liang Chuyi really had the ambition to become emperor Xiling, he would not agree.Thinking about it this way, even if he knew that Baozi and I had lied to him as a court lady before, for his great cause, he would still haggle with us.

Thinking of this, I was in a good mood for a while, seeing Baozi's sluggish face, I asked him to come over and take him out.

Baozi thought I had something to tell him to do, and when he saw me leading him to the gate of the house, he quickly reached out and grabbed my sleeve, and said, "Master, can't I go out? What are you taking me for?" go?"

"I see that you've been bored these few days, so I'll take you out to relax."

"No! I, I can't go out. Letting that eldest prince know will harm the young master. Even if I stay in the yard for the rest of my life, I don't want to harm the young master."

Hearing Baozi say this, I was both moved and amused.He stretched out his hand and tugged at his ears, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? He has been entangled by the fourth princess recently, and has no time to talk to us."

Hearing this, Baozi's eyes lit up immediately, he let go of my sleeve and ran to the gate, beckoning me to hurry up.I was taken aback by his quick change of mood, and then followed helplessly.

After wandering around the street with Baozi for a while, I saw that it was time for lunch. I took Baozi and Fan Yu to Fulaiju.I used to be a regular customer here, the waiter and shopkeeper naturally knew me, and they trotted over to serve me when they saw me bringing people in.I followed Xiao Er directly into the private room on the second floor, and asked Xiao Er to open the window and order some side dishes and a pot of tea.

Seeing Xiaoer leave, I turned my head to look out the window, and suddenly thought that Cangzi, the high priest of Miaojiang, seemed to live in an inn nearby.In the past few days, I have seen him twice, each time wrapped in a black robe, I have never seen what he looks like except for those eyes.It's not that I'm not curious about his outfit, it's just that I don't have the nerve to ask.

Thinking of those emotionless eyes, I was really curious. After thinking about it a few times, I asked Fan Yu to invite him over.Fan Yu went downstairs in response, and came back with Cang Zi after a while.

Cangzi didn't wear a black robe this time, but used a veiled hat to cover her face.I brought the teacup to my lips, but I couldn't help being stunned seeing him dressed like this.Cang Zi didn't seem to notice my gaffe, Shi Li said hello to me and sat down opposite me.Hearing his voice, I immediately returned to my senses and nodded at him, asking Baozi to pour tea for him.

Cangzi nodded at Baozi to express her thanks, then looked up at me and asked, "I wonder if there is something wrong with the young master calling me here?"

I put down my teacup and smiled at him and said, "It's nothing, I'm just eating here. Since I'm not far from the High Priest, I asked someone to invite the High Priest over for a light meal."

Through the tulle on the valance, I can vaguely see the general outline of the purple, but I can't see it very carefully.

Just as I was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.Knowing that it might be Xiaoer who came to deliver the food, Baozi hurriedly opened the door to let people in.Xiao Er came in with five or six side dishes, and after he put all the dishes on the table, I ordered him to prepare another table of wine and food, and let Fan Yu and Baozi eat at the next table.

When Cangzi heard my words, she raised her head and looked at me in astonishment.I looked at him with some doubts, and before I could speak, I heard him say: "Young Master is a little different from the rumors, it seems that the rumors really can't be believed."

Hearing this, I was stunned and then laughed.It seems that Cang Zi also knows a lot about me in the past few days in the capital.Judging from his words, he doesn't seem to have a very good impression of me.

"Rumors? The rumors from the outside world are not false. They all say that I am a rich boy, relying on my father, Marquis Anping, to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble. If you think about it carefully, it's not like that. But let them say, I will live." As long as they are free, don't care what they do!"

Hearing what I said, Cang Zi nodded, but I saw that he was silent.I pinched my cuffs and poured him a glass of wine, then grabbed my own glass and drank it all at him.Seeing this, Cangzi lifted the corner of the veiled hat and drank the wine with her head up.Seeing him so forthright, I couldn't help feeling a little bit of goodwill in my heart, and the original consideration in my heart was also a little less.

"May I ask, why does the high priest always cover his face?"

I thought he wouldn't answer, but Cang Zi wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand, and said: "I used to serve voodoo when I was young, and once I was accidentally backlashed by it, and my appearance became a little scary. In order not to startle others, I covered my face when I went out."

I looked at him and hummed, and said: "I see, but I see that the high priest's temperament is very similar to mine, so he doesn't have to worry so much in front of me."

After hearing my words, Cangzi hesitated for a moment, then pinched her fingers as if she had made up her mind and raised her hand to take off the veil.I watched his movements, and when I saw his face clearly, I couldn't help feeling tense in my heart.

Cangzi's face was not as scary as he said, it was daunting.It's just that from the left neck to the left cheek, there are black lines like thin lines. At a glance, it looks like someone has cut it with a knife, but when you look closely, you don't see anything.The gaze shifted to his right cheek, although it was paler, but still handsome, it could be seen that Cangzi was also a handsome and handsome young master before.

Seeing that I was just stunned for a moment and then still looking at him as before, Cang Zi caressed the left cheek and asked softly: "Isn't Young Master afraid to see my face?"

Hearing this, I smiled and pulled Baozi who was eating snacks aside, and asked, "Baozi, do you think the high priest's face is scary?"

Baozi wiped the crumbs from the corners of his mouth, blinked his eyes and said, "It's okay, I saw a leper in our village when I didn't enter the mansion before, he was scary. His nose was scratched by himself It's all gone, and some parts are showing bones." As he spoke, Baozi still gestured on his face with his hands.

When he said that, I couldn't help my stomach churning, and I quickly reached out to cover his mouth to let him stop talking.

Baozi was covered by me so that he couldn't breathe, and his two hands kept grabbing my arm and tugging at it.

"Master, why are you covering my mouth?" Baozi said angrily.

"Didn't you see that you are eating? You can simply say no. As for saying it so disgusting?"

Cangzi lost all her embarrassment after Baozi and I made such a fuss, and looked at us with a slightly curved mouth.I was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him, so I sat back on the stool with a dry laugh and greeted him for dinner.

After a meal, Cang Zi's attitude towards me was much gentler than before, the four of us walked the street together, seeing that it was getting late, we bid farewell to him and returned home.When I came in with Baozi and Fan Yu, Guanshi Yuan said that my father was back and that he had something important to discuss with me.
