Waiting for the protagonist to cry today [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 38. The Regent's Little Wife 7
The maids didn't dare to say anything, so they hurriedly brushed their bodies and left. Jian Yunqiao found that the place where he was standing was very wonderful. Although it was very hot at the beginning, as the sun shifted, it became the coolest here. The wind was just blowing from the opposite side of the lake, he squinted his eyes and sighed.
The butler came running from not far away, panting as if racing against time: "My lord, my lord, my lord, please come over."
Jian Yunqiao responded, and then comforted the housekeeper: "Mr. housekeeper, you can walk slowly, don't get caught in the hot weather."
He wanted to slow down, but he was afraid that if Jian Yunqiao was exposed to the sun for a second longer, the prince would skin him!
The butler was still touched and said, "Thank you, Master Jane, for your compassion."
The housekeeper of the palace is the target of many people's fawning, and the big and small officials outside, which one will not give a three-point face when they see it?But when facing Jian Yunqiao, he was still cautious, this one is not ordinary in the prince's heart, it is on the apex of his heart.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, he entered Qi Guiyuan's study room, which is someone who is used to enjoying it. The air in the study room is just right, and the wind that blows seems to have a coolness in it. The room has been infused with the smell of mint, very refreshing. He leaned on the soft couch, with some memorials scattered around him.
Qi Guiyuan lay there lazily and comfortably, squinting his eyes and dozed off. When this man was resting, he restrained a bit of hostility. Without those sharp breaths, he vaguely looked like he was back then. Can remember what the weather was like when Yuan Shen met Qi Guiyuan.
The weather was fine that day, he sneaked out of the house to play in the suburbs because of his greed for fun, but he was targeted by wild dogs for some reason. The sound is a shadow that cannot be erased from his heart.
Just when he was about to be caught up in despair, a black-clothed boy descended from the sky, his brows were full of heroism, his movements were chic and neat, a few biting mad dogs were dealt with three times, five times and two times, and he could only stand still Crying on the side.
At that time, the arrogant little prince turned around, with a bit of disdain: "Hey, you are too weak."
The little prince had always disliked Jian Yunqiao's weak character, and always wanted to teach him martial arts and how to defend himself. At that time, Qi Guiyuan didn't have that aggressive aura, nor did he always have indifferent eyes. It's just that arrogance and awkward tenderness.
He still remembered that when he was scared to cry by wild dogs again, the little prince said with a dark face, "Jian Yunqiao, if you continue to be so worthless, see if I will save you next time!"
Every time at this time, Jian Yunqiao felt even more wronged, but she was afraid that Qi Guiyuan would be angry, so she could only hold back her tears and said: "Yes... I'm sorry Guiyuan, I won't cry again next time, but I really I'm afraid of dogs."
He cried very sadly, but he didn't make a loud sound, he always choked up silently, and gasped in aggrieved way from time to time.
Qi Guiyuan's tense face loosened a little, he took out a handkerchief to wipe Jian Yunqiao's face, looked at the man's reddish eyes, and sighed helplessly: "What an enemy."
The sound of cicadas chirping in the Prince Regent's Mansion was heard, and the memory came back quickly. Jian Yunqiao stood in place and looked at the people on the ground. He smiled wryly for a moment.
Gui Yuan, I know I was wrong, are you still willing to save me again?
Seeing Jian Yunqiao staring at the prince, the butler lowered his eyes meaningfully, and then backed away.
Jian Yunqiao wiped the thin sweat off his face, withdrew his mind, went to the room and took out the drawings to have a look, how could he persuade Qi Guiyuan to change the style of the wooden horse in a while.
This blueprint was designed with a lot more care than last time. It is very noble and gorgeous, but it is a little more restrained. It must be an excellent design.
He suddenly remembered the little emperor's chubby appearance, and couldn't help laughing. After all, he is still a child, so it is not unusual to want to play with these gadgets.
he was in a trance
"What are you looking at?" A hoarse male voice came from behind, Jian Yunqiao shook the hand holding the blueprint, he quickly turned his head and looked at Qi Guiyuan who sat up from the bed, the man's hair was casually draped behind him, Wearing regular clothes, the muscular body and handsome face not only do not detract from the appearance, but also add a bit of charm.
Jian Yunqiao came back to salute: "Your Majesty, Jian Yunqiao, see the prince."
Qi Guiyuan frowned inaudibly: "There is no need to be too polite."
When I didn't see this person, I thought about how to torture him to vent my anger. When I really saw him, seeing how respectful and submissive he was to me, he felt even more angry.
Jian Yunqiao didn't think there was anything wrong, he thought for a while and asked, "Do you want tea, my lord?"
Qi Guiyuan has a habit, as long as it is a nap or after a rest, he must drink tea. He remembers this habit, but he doesn't know if he still keeps it.
Qi Guiyuan nodded, and Jian Yunqiao poured a pot of tea for him with ease, and handed it to him: "Drink slowly."
"Favourability +5"
He withdrew his hand calmly, looking at the person sitting there who was still noble and glamorous, Jian Yunqiao couldn't help feeling that this person's mind was really elusive.
Qi Guiyuan stood up, walked to the table, picked up these blueprints, and sneered for a while.
He didn't say whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, but sat down and took a taste of a tuckahoe cake, and then swallowed it expressionlessly.
He raised his eyes, met Jian Yunqiao's puzzled gaze, and asked, "Why, do you think it's strange?"
In the past, he hated the taste of Poria cocos cake the most, but Jian Yunqiao loved to eat it. He could only accompany him, but never ate it.
"This king just wants to use this to remind himself from time to time to avoid making the same mistake again."
Jian Yunqiao laughed, Qi Guiyuan wondered whether he was torturing him or himself, since it was the past that he didn't want to recall, why should he remind himself to always remember it?
Of the two people, the one who doesn't want to let go hurts the most, but between them, I don't know who let go first, if I really let go back then, how can I die in depression.
"What the lord said is true." He replied, standing beside Qi Guiyuan, with an obedient appearance.
Qi Guiyuan stopped eating, but said: "It's too bad, I'll give it to you."
Jian Yunqiao said, "Oh, yes."
He didn't feel humiliated at all, walked over and took a piece to eat, because it was covered, so he didn't realize that the prince just took a small bite.
Qi Guiyuan turned his eyes away, and suddenly asked, "Where's Li?"
Jian Yunqiao, who was eating, blinked innocently: "Huh?"
"My king asks you, what gift did you bring when you came to the palace?" Qi Guiyuan repeated, narrowing his eyes dangerously, and knocked on the table with his hand: "Didn't you bring it?"
Jian Yunqiao, who had come to his senses, made a look of sudden realization, and then, under Qi Guiyuan's gaze, slowly took out ten taels of silver from his pocket.
He put it on the table respectfully: "This is a small favor from the lower official, please accept it with a smile, my lord."
The stern face cracked for a moment, and his face became gloomy. A certain prince picked up the blueprint on the table: "My lord Jane."
This murderous voice made Jian Yunqiao, who was still out of the situation, startled: "The officer is here."
What's the matter, could it be that you gave less?
But I only have such a small amount of money, this is really all my belongings!
"The king remembers that the blueprints of the past few days are already in the process of being built, why did you send new ones?"
The lord, who had just turned the page, now started to bring up the old story again, and he was dissatisfied and angry.
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
A needle in the sea of a man's heart.
Jian Yunqiao finally understood how a companion is like a tiger. After he was happy with Qi Guiyuan by reasoning with him, he was about to leave the mansion when Qi Guiyuan said, "Let Doctor Qin come in."
Lord Qin appeared again with the medicine box, this time he was not surprised at all, but stood in front of Jian Yunqiao familiarly: "Please sit down, sir, I will take your pulse."
Jian Yunqiao looked at Qi Guiyuan suspiciously.
Qi Guiyuan returned to the soft couch and casually picked up a notebook and looked at it. He didn't seem to see his gaze, and said: "My lord Jian has been standing in this king's mansion for so long. If he leaves the mansion, he will fall down." Whose account is it? I am afraid that the capital will spread rumors that the king is harsh on the officials."
The corners of Doctor Qin's mouth twitched when he heard this. In the past few years, let alone standing, there are many people who were directly thrown out and beaten to death by the prince, let alone standing for a while, and you have to invite him here Feel the pulse?
After taking a pulse for a while, Doctor Qin sighed: "My lord, you must have had no health care these two days, and the situation has not improved at all. Your body should avoid alcohol and spicy food. It’s not right, it must have been caused by years of lack of food…”
Jian Yunqiao had a headache when he heard that, he said with a wry smile: "Doctor, please stop talking, I'm so irritable."
"Doctor Qin, go to the king's mansion to get the medicine." Qi Guiyuan ordered casually, and sneered: "Just standing there for a while, Lord Jane is quite good at blackmailing people."
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
i'm not i didn't
Doctor Qin left, Jian Yunqiao was silent for a while: "Gui Yuan, it's actually okay with me, it's not that serious."
Qi Guiyuan put down the memorial: "My lord Jane hasn't got rid of this self-love problem all these years?" He waved his hand: "This king is tired, so I won't see off guests."
Jian Yunqiao looked at the spotless ground and said, "Oh, yes."
Before he left the door, he heard Qi Guiyuan's voice from behind: "If this king finds out that Master Jian dares to drink again, and his words and deeds are reckless, this king will break your leg."
The corner of Jian Yunqiao's mouth curled into a smile, he turned around, looked at the figure in the room with his back turned to him, and said softly, "Oh, yes."
Over the years, maybe both of them have changed, but Qi Guiyuan's awkward gentleness has never changed.
When he left the mansion, the medicine prescribed by Doctor Qin was not brought, and several large bags filled Jian Yunqiao's chest, as if he didn't want money.
But he didn't say: "This is ginseng, this is snow lotus, and this Shouwu, oh, and this wolfberry, which I want to make tea every day, oh, and these... He pointed to the remaining packs and said a few more. a name."
Finally, when Jian Yunqiao was leaving, he leaned over and whispered: "It's okay son, come back to get it after eating."
Jian Yunqiao hesitated and said, "This...is not appropriate."
After all, he thought it was quite expensive, much better than his meeting gift of ten taels of silver.
"It's okay." But without blinking: "The prince ordered it."
Anyway, young master, if you give the prince a hug, sooner or later the entire palace will be yours.
You yourself are not in good health, and it is the prince who is sad.
Not to mention taking out the precious medicine from the palace, the prince who lost his family will also treat your illness.
Jian Yunqiao smiled helplessly, said goodbye but did not leave the house.
After a while, Jian Yunqiao returned home with the medicine. The little boy he brought back from Jian's house was waiting for him. The little boy was not very old, and he was at the age of school now.
After coming to the capital, Jian Yunqiao forced him to send him to the academy to study. Most of the time, the boy was doing the homework assigned by his master, and when he was done, he would start cooking and wait for Jian Yunqiao to come back.
"Master?" The little boy ran out from the kitchen: "Master, are you back?"
Jian Yunqiao watched him being disfigured by the kitchen dust. How could a child at this age cook, so he gave the child a bag of money: "Xiao Ming, go and invite the woman who cooks tomorrow."
Xiao Ming looked at the money, but didn't dare to take it: "Where did the young master get the money?"
Their family owed a large amount of money after the master passed away, and the young master sold the ancestral house to repay the debt. When he first came to the capital, he spent the only money he had on renting this house. Now the two of them live very happily Straightforward.
"Well... because the young master has raised his wages." Jian Yunqiao patted his head: "Let's go to the street to buy you new pens and inks in a while."
Xiao Ming smiled happily, looked at Jian Yunqiao holding a bag of herbs in his hand, and hurriedly asked, "Is the young master feeling unwell?"
"This is goji berry, for making tea." Jian Yunqiao explained, "It's not because you feel unwell, so don't think too much about it."
Only then did Xiao Ming feel relieved, and he said happily: "We are rich, is it true? Master, I am not dreaming."
Jian Yunqiao smiled and took him to the shop on the street to buy good candles, paper and pens for him, and he also bought some book bags that students in the academy would use.
In fact, their academy has always asked for such bookbags, paper and pens, but the children are sensible and always use inferior ones instead, and read books by dim candlelight at night, Jian Yunqiao sees it and feels sad in his heart.
He pawned which medicinal materials, added these things, and then returned home with the child.
On the way back, there was a small stall chasing a dog out. The dog ate a chicken leg and was chased by the second brother with a stick.
Jian Yunqiao's body was afraid of dogs, he trembled all over when he saw such a scene, and his face turned pale.
What I can feel the most is Xiao Ming on the side. Xiao Ming said worriedly: "Master, let's go back quickly."
"Well go back."
Jian Yunqiao struggled to pull out a faintly invisible smile, and took Xiao Ming back, but the fate was not as good as people's calculations, and beside their house, wild dogs in distress also appeared.
The two of them and the dog were stunned, but the dog was the first to react. It nimbly got into an alley with a chicken leg in its mouth. Jian Yunqiao and Xiao Ming had to go through that alley if they wanted to go back. I took a look inside, and saw three puppies standing out from a pile of grass, gnawing on the chicken legs all the time.
The scrawny bitch stood aside lovingly and didn't move, and the bitch risked being beaten to death in exchange for food that might not be enough to fill her stomach.
Jian Yunqiao paused, handed the buns packed by the two of them to Xiao Ming, and asked the children to put them in the alley. Xiao Ming immediately understood what this meant. He nodded at Jian Yunqiao and trotted over.
Then they came back quickly, the two of them walked away, Xiao Ming suddenly tugged at Jian Yunqiao's sleeve, he turned his head, watched the bitch eat the buns under the setting sun, and smiled at each other.
The days went on as usual, after handing in the blueprints, nothing happened this time. When the wooden horse was handed in, the Minister of Rites gave Jian Yunqiao a meaningful look, and patted him on the shoulder, as if he was about to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. appearance.
"Young man, work hard."
Jian Yunqiao nodded, and said seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, I will."
He came out from the Ministry of Rites and sorted out the information he got these days. First of all, the national teacher is no longer in the capital. It seems that he retired to his hometown after the death of the first emperor. It seems that the first emperor wanted to refine the elixir of immortality, but he failed to refine it. , drove the crane west.
It seems that the reason why Emperor Xiandi and his gang took his brother into the palace was to use that blood as a primer for medicine, but later Emperor Xiandi died and his brother disappeared.
There is no proof of death, and now the National Teacher is the biggest suspect, and he is the number one suspect.
The person who is still suspected is the little emperor, the little emperor is the prince, he cannot be ignorant of the royal affairs, Jian Yunqiao feels that the little emperor must know something.
There is another person who is skeptical...Xu Jianshen, this Lord Xu and himself were admitted to Beijing as an official, but his family background is a mystery. Jian Yunqiao can only know that his family background is good, but he doesn't know anything about it except these others. The question is, why is such a person interested in himself?
He really couldn't figure it out, could it really be: he is a good man.
He thought a lot, and suddenly thought of a place, the residence of the former national teacher. That place has been sealed up, but there are still people cleaning it regularly. If he sneaks in, can't he see if he can find any clues? ?
Having made up her mind, Jian Yunqiao thought of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the place where the palace ordered manpower to be allocated. First of all, she had to figure out the rules for cleaning people and people, so that the civet cat could be replaced by the prince on the same day.
Jian Yunqiao is a person who does what he says and does it. In the next few days, he began to inquire about this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and gained a lot.
Until one day, Xu Jianshen came to him meaningfully: "Master Jian, you are doing well these days."
"Master Xu." Jian Yunqiao greeted politely, and took two steps back quietly: "What a coincidence."
Xu Jianshen looked at this frightened man, and squinted his eyes: "Master Jane, has she been avoiding me these two days?"
"How could it be?" Jian Yunqiao was startled secretly, he said: "Master Xu is really worrying too much."
"Really." Xu Jianshen took a step forward to block Jian Yunqiao's retreat, and he said slowly, "I heard that Mrs. Jian has been inquiring about the Ministry of Internal Affairs intentionally or unintentionally these two days."
Jian Yunqiao:? ? ! !
How did this guy know, he obviously did it quietly in private.
Most importantly, why is he telling himself?
Seemingly admiring Jian Yunqiao's appearance, Xu Jianshen was in a good mood. He mercifully let Jian Yunqiao go: "Master Jian, Mr. Shi's son will get married tomorrow and invite all the ministers. Don't forget to go."
What Shi Taishi, does it have anything to do with me?
Just as Jian Yunqiao wanted to say that she hadn't received the invitation, she heard Xu Jianshen say, "I heard that the prince will also go."
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
Mr. Xu, if you are like this, it will be meaningless.
What's the point? It seems that you can't get it. I don't have money to give gifts, do you understand?
no you sure don't understand
Jian Yunqiao reasoned with him: "My lord, for such a big happy event as the marriage of the young master Shi's family, I will definitely go to congratulate you, but unfortunately I didn't receive the invitation..."
"Master Jane, please don't worry." Xu Jianshen slowly took out the invitation and posted two invitations: "Actually, I brought yours for you."
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
Then I can really thank you!
Second day
Jian Yunqiao, who had just left the mansion, saw Xu Jianshen not far away. The man was wearing a blue robe, as elegant as the wind.
Compared to him, Jian Yunqiao is like a yellow cabbage field, like a grass beaten by frost.
Xu Jianshen asked in confusion, "Master Jian, where are the courtesy of your two sleeves?"
Jian Yunqiao asked him back: "What about you, Mr. Xu?"
"Clap!"
A jade fan was opened, and in this hot day, the jade-like young master opened the folding fan and fanned it lightly, and said with a smile: "The lower official has sent a servant to send it forward."
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
Tyrants, we are friends.
He sighed, and got into Xu Jianshen's sedan chair. Master Xu would stop by to wait for him every time he knew that Jian Yunqiao was too poor to sit in the sedan chair because of his fellowship.
When the two of them arrived at Shi Taishi's mansion, they were really happy outside. The people who came to accompany the ceremony all came in with large entourages carrying large boxes and small boxes. , Shi Taishi who stood outside laughed like a flower when he was very old.
When Jian Yunqiao gave the gift, after thinking about it, she gave away a pair of mandarin duck jade. This piece of jade was very valuable, and it was given to him by Qi Guiyuan to play with before, and he was always reluctant to pawn it.
but……
But in the past, I couldn't see people, so I thought about people when I saw things. Now that I see people, jade is not so important.
He sent the jade there, and the servant gave his name and welcomed him in. He and Xu Jianshen found a place to sit down, and Xu Jianshen said with emotion: "As expected of Mrs. Jane, that piece of jade is a priceless treasure."
The subtext is, you, Jian Yunqiao, are usually poor, and you only eat roadside stalls for breakfast, and you use other people's sedan chairs, and you will never spend more if you can spend a dime less.
Jian Yunqiao said: "Frugality is a traditional virtue."
There was muffled laughter, and the low voice sounded numb. Xu Jianshen played with the cup in his hand: "Master Jane is still interesting."
They were chatting at this table, but outside, Qi Guiyuan was not in such a good mood.
The people who sent someone to follow Jian Yunqiao came back and said that Jian Yunqiao had brought a mandarin duck jade pendant with him, and Qi Guiyuan's whole body was filled with air-conditioning.
Gradually froze the smile on Shi Taishi's face, and thought about it, is it possible that the prince is planning to kill someone to sacrifice to heaven on this happy day?
Qi Guiyuan's eyes swept over Shi Taishi, and saw that he was full of smiles, and a sneer appeared on his stern face: "I have Lao Taishi to lead the way."
This master is harder to serve than the emperor, Shi Taishi brought someone in, and the servant shouted: "The regent is here!"
The whole garden was quiet for a moment, and the people who were sitting and laughing got up and saluted one after another: "Join the prince."
Among the crowd, Qi Guiyuan picked the place where Jian Yunqiao was with a single glance. He sneered meaningfully and walked over.
The butler came running from not far away, panting as if racing against time: "My lord, my lord, my lord, please come over."
Jian Yunqiao responded, and then comforted the housekeeper: "Mr. housekeeper, you can walk slowly, don't get caught in the hot weather."
He wanted to slow down, but he was afraid that if Jian Yunqiao was exposed to the sun for a second longer, the prince would skin him!
The butler was still touched and said, "Thank you, Master Jane, for your compassion."
The housekeeper of the palace is the target of many people's fawning, and the big and small officials outside, which one will not give a three-point face when they see it?But when facing Jian Yunqiao, he was still cautious, this one is not ordinary in the prince's heart, it is on the apex of his heart.

Every time at this time, Jian Yunqiao felt even more wronged, but she was afraid that Qi Guiyuan would be angry, so she could only hold back her tears and said: "Yes... I'm sorry Guiyuan, I won't cry again next time, but I really I'm afraid of dogs."
He cried very sadly, but he didn't make a loud sound, he always choked up silently, and gasped in aggrieved way from time to time.
Qi Guiyuan's tense face loosened a little, he took out a handkerchief to wipe Jian Yunqiao's face, looked at the man's reddish eyes, and sighed helplessly: "What an enemy."

Jian Yunqiao, who had come to his senses, made a look of sudden realization, and then, under Qi Guiyuan's gaze, slowly took out ten taels of silver from his pocket.
He put it on the table respectfully: "This is a small favor from the lower official, please accept it with a smile, my lord."
The stern face cracked for a moment, and his face became gloomy. A certain prince picked up the blueprint on the table: "My lord Jane."
This murderous voice made Jian Yunqiao, who was still out of the situation, startled: "The officer is here."
What's the matter, could it be that you gave less?

Before he left the door, he heard Qi Guiyuan's voice from behind: "If this king finds out that Master Jian dares to drink again, and his words and deeds are reckless, this king will break your leg."
The corner of Jian Yunqiao's mouth curled into a smile, he turned around, looked at the figure in the room with his back turned to him, and said softly, "Oh, yes."
Over the years, maybe both of them have changed, but Qi Guiyuan's awkward gentleness has never changed.
When he left the mansion, the medicine prescribed by Doctor Qin was not brought, and several large bags filled Jian Yunqiao's chest, as if he didn't want money.
But he didn't say: "This is ginseng, this is snow lotus, and this Shouwu, oh, and this wolfberry, which I want to make tea every day, oh, and these... He pointed to the remaining packs and said a few more. a name."
Finally, when Jian Yunqiao was leaving, he leaned over and whispered: "It's okay son, come back to get it after eating."
Jian Yunqiao hesitated and said, "This...is not appropriate."
After all, he thought it was quite expensive, much better than his meeting gift of ten taels of silver.
"It's okay." But without blinking: "The prince ordered it."
Anyway, young master, if you give the prince a hug, sooner or later the entire palace will be yours.
You yourself are not in good health, and it is the prince who is sad.
Not to mention taking out the precious medicine from the palace, the prince who lost his family will also treat your illness.
Jian Yunqiao smiled helplessly, said goodbye but did not leave the house.
After a while, Jian Yunqiao returned home with the medicine. The little boy he brought back from Jian's house was waiting for him. The little boy was not very old, and he was at the age of school now.
After coming to the capital, Jian Yunqiao forced him to send him to the academy to study. Most of the time, the boy was doing the homework assigned by his master, and when he was done, he would start cooking and wait for Jian Yunqiao to come back.
"Master?" The little boy ran out from the kitchen: "Master, are you back?"
Jian Yunqiao watched him being disfigured by the kitchen dust. How could a child at this age cook, so he gave the child a bag of money: "Xiao Ming, go and invite the woman who cooks tomorrow."
Xiao Ming looked at the money, but didn't dare to take it: "Where did the young master get the money?"
Their family owed a large amount of money after the master passed away, and the young master sold the ancestral house to repay the debt. When he first came to the capital, he spent the only money he had on renting this house. Now the two of them live very happily Straightforward.
"Well... because the young master has raised his wages." Jian Yunqiao patted his head: "Let's go to the street to buy you new pens and inks in a while."
Xiao Ming smiled happily, looked at Jian Yunqiao holding a bag of herbs in his hand, and hurriedly asked, "Is the young master feeling unwell?"
"This is goji berry, for making tea." Jian Yunqiao explained, "It's not because you feel unwell, so don't think too much about it."
Only then did Xiao Ming feel relieved, and he said happily: "We are rich, is it true? Master, I am not dreaming."
Jian Yunqiao smiled and took him to the shop on the street to buy good candles, paper and pens for him, and he also bought some book bags that students in the academy would use.
In fact, their academy has always asked for such bookbags, paper and pens, but the children are sensible and always use inferior ones instead, and read books by dim candlelight at night, Jian Yunqiao sees it and feels sad in his heart.
He pawned which medicinal materials, added these things, and then returned home with the child.
On the way back, there was a small stall chasing a dog out. The dog ate a chicken leg and was chased by the second brother with a stick.
Jian Yunqiao's body was afraid of dogs, he trembled all over when he saw such a scene, and his face turned pale.
What I can feel the most is Xiao Ming on the side. Xiao Ming said worriedly: "Master, let's go back quickly."
"Well go back."
Jian Yunqiao struggled to pull out a faintly invisible smile, and took Xiao Ming back, but the fate was not as good as people's calculations, and beside their house, wild dogs in distress also appeared.
The two of them and the dog were stunned, but the dog was the first to react. It nimbly got into an alley with a chicken leg in its mouth. Jian Yunqiao and Xiao Ming had to go through that alley if they wanted to go back. I took a look inside, and saw three puppies standing out from a pile of grass, gnawing on the chicken legs all the time.
The scrawny bitch stood aside lovingly and didn't move, and the bitch risked being beaten to death in exchange for food that might not be enough to fill her stomach.
Jian Yunqiao paused, handed the buns packed by the two of them to Xiao Ming, and asked the children to put them in the alley. Xiao Ming immediately understood what this meant. He nodded at Jian Yunqiao and trotted over.
Then they came back quickly, the two of them walked away, Xiao Ming suddenly tugged at Jian Yunqiao's sleeve, he turned his head, watched the bitch eat the buns under the setting sun, and smiled at each other.
The days went on as usual, after handing in the blueprints, nothing happened this time. When the wooden horse was handed in, the Minister of Rites gave Jian Yunqiao a meaningful look, and patted him on the shoulder, as if he was about to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. appearance.
"Young man, work hard."
Jian Yunqiao nodded, and said seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, I will."
He came out from the Ministry of Rites and sorted out the information he got these days. First of all, the national teacher is no longer in the capital. It seems that he retired to his hometown after the death of the first emperor. It seems that the first emperor wanted to refine the elixir of immortality, but he failed to refine it. , drove the crane west.
It seems that the reason why Emperor Xiandi and his gang took his brother into the palace was to use that blood as a primer for medicine, but later Emperor Xiandi died and his brother disappeared.
There is no proof of death, and now the National Teacher is the biggest suspect, and he is the number one suspect.
The person who is still suspected is the little emperor, the little emperor is the prince, he cannot be ignorant of the royal affairs, Jian Yunqiao feels that the little emperor must know something.
There is another person who is skeptical...Xu Jianshen, this Lord Xu and himself were admitted to Beijing as an official, but his family background is a mystery. Jian Yunqiao can only know that his family background is good, but he doesn't know anything about it except these others. The question is, why is such a person interested in himself?
He really couldn't figure it out, could it really be: he is a good man.
He thought a lot, and suddenly thought of a place, the residence of the former national teacher. That place has been sealed up, but there are still people cleaning it regularly. If he sneaks in, can't he see if he can find any clues? ?
Having made up her mind, Jian Yunqiao thought of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the place where the palace ordered manpower to be allocated. First of all, she had to figure out the rules for cleaning people and people, so that the civet cat could be replaced by the prince on the same day.
Jian Yunqiao is a person who does what he says and does it. In the next few days, he began to inquire about this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and gained a lot.
Until one day, Xu Jianshen came to him meaningfully: "Master Jian, you are doing well these days."
"Master Xu." Jian Yunqiao greeted politely, and took two steps back quietly: "What a coincidence."
Xu Jianshen looked at this frightened man, and squinted his eyes: "Master Jane, has she been avoiding me these two days?"
"How could it be?" Jian Yunqiao was startled secretly, he said: "Master Xu is really worrying too much."
"Really." Xu Jianshen took a step forward to block Jian Yunqiao's retreat, and he said slowly, "I heard that Mrs. Jian has been inquiring about the Ministry of Internal Affairs intentionally or unintentionally these two days."
Jian Yunqiao:? ? ! !
How did this guy know, he obviously did it quietly in private.
Most importantly, why is he telling himself?
Seemingly admiring Jian Yunqiao's appearance, Xu Jianshen was in a good mood. He mercifully let Jian Yunqiao go: "Master Jian, Mr. Shi's son will get married tomorrow and invite all the ministers. Don't forget to go."
What Shi Taishi, does it have anything to do with me?
Just as Jian Yunqiao wanted to say that she hadn't received the invitation, she heard Xu Jianshen say, "I heard that the prince will also go."
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
Mr. Xu, if you are like this, it will be meaningless.
What's the point? It seems that you can't get it. I don't have money to give gifts, do you understand?
no you sure don't understand
Jian Yunqiao reasoned with him: "My lord, for such a big happy event as the marriage of the young master Shi's family, I will definitely go to congratulate you, but unfortunately I didn't receive the invitation..."
"Master Jane, please don't worry." Xu Jianshen slowly took out the invitation and posted two invitations: "Actually, I brought yours for you."
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
Then I can really thank you!
Second day
Jian Yunqiao, who had just left the mansion, saw Xu Jianshen not far away. The man was wearing a blue robe, as elegant as the wind.
Compared to him, Jian Yunqiao is like a yellow cabbage field, like a grass beaten by frost.
Xu Jianshen asked in confusion, "Master Jian, where are the courtesy of your two sleeves?"
Jian Yunqiao asked him back: "What about you, Mr. Xu?"
"Clap!"
A jade fan was opened, and in this hot day, the jade-like young master opened the folding fan and fanned it lightly, and said with a smile: "The lower official has sent a servant to send it forward."
Jian Yunqiao: "..."
Tyrants, we are friends.
He sighed, and got into Xu Jianshen's sedan chair. Master Xu would stop by to wait for him every time he knew that Jian Yunqiao was too poor to sit in the sedan chair because of his fellowship.
When the two of them arrived at Shi Taishi's mansion, they were really happy outside. The people who came to accompany the ceremony all came in with large entourages carrying large boxes and small boxes. , Shi Taishi who stood outside laughed like a flower when he was very old.
When Jian Yunqiao gave the gift, after thinking about it, she gave away a pair of mandarin duck jade. This piece of jade was very valuable, and it was given to him by Qi Guiyuan to play with before, and he was always reluctant to pawn it.
but……
But in the past, I couldn't see people, so I thought about people when I saw things. Now that I see people, jade is not so important.
He sent the jade there, and the servant gave his name and welcomed him in. He and Xu Jianshen found a place to sit down, and Xu Jianshen said with emotion: "As expected of Mrs. Jane, that piece of jade is a priceless treasure."
The subtext is, you, Jian Yunqiao, are usually poor, and you only eat roadside stalls for breakfast, and you use other people's sedan chairs, and you will never spend more if you can spend a dime less.
Jian Yunqiao said: "Frugality is a traditional virtue."
There was muffled laughter, and the low voice sounded numb. Xu Jianshen played with the cup in his hand: "Master Jane is still interesting."
They were chatting at this table, but outside, Qi Guiyuan was not in such a good mood.
The people who sent someone to follow Jian Yunqiao came back and said that Jian Yunqiao had brought a mandarin duck jade pendant with him, and Qi Guiyuan's whole body was filled with air-conditioning.
Gradually froze the smile on Shi Taishi's face, and thought about it, is it possible that the prince is planning to kill someone to sacrifice to heaven on this happy day?
Qi Guiyuan's eyes swept over Shi Taishi, and saw that he was full of smiles, and a sneer appeared on his stern face: "I have Lao Taishi to lead the way."
This master is harder to serve than the emperor, Shi Taishi brought someone in, and the servant shouted: "The regent is here!"
The whole garden was quiet for a moment, and the people who were sitting and laughing got up and saluted one after another: "Join the prince."
Among the crowd, Qi Guiyuan picked the place where Jian Yunqiao was with a single glance. He sneered meaningfully and walked over.
