Chapter 129 Everyone has their own thoughts
From now on, I can receive such a good income every month from Juwanglou, which makes up for the loss of the painter’s monthly salary.
Xia Qianqian is in a happy mood.
In the private room, while drinking green tea and eating peach blossom cakes, and listening to the old man at the front desk telling "Journey to the West", she suddenly felt that such an ancient life was quite pleasant.
After eating and drinking, she remembered that she had an appointment with Cuttlefish today and was going to Mo Mansion.
Maybe it's psychological.
Because of Hu Tang's reminder, she subconsciously developed a sense of conflict with the cuttlefish.
That night, a purple signal flare appeared in the sky. Gong Xiaoba once said that this news meant that the young master fell into the water and his life or death was unknown.
She looked up at the rising fireworks. Compared with modern fireworks, they were monotonous and short-lived. They did not have any special marks, but they could convey such complex messages.
She didn't think deeply about it.
After that, she treated the injured as expected, returned to Xia's house, picked edamame, cleaned up the water in the yard and other household chores.
No unusual behavior.
But occasionally, she would think of him.
If that aloof young man really fell into the water during this battle, would he be injured or would his life be in danger?
She was vaguely worried about his safety.
Now that I think about it, fortunately she didn't do anything unusual.
If the original owner is really the Jade-faced Immortal Lord and is an enemy of the imperial court, it is very likely that he is also an enemy of Cuttlefish.
If he falls into the water and feigns death, what will happen to the Jade-Faced Immortal?
Maybe this is a game.
They may be waiting.
Waiting for the Jade-faced Immortal to reveal her secrets, but unfortunately she is not her, there is no memory of her, there is no need to cover for her, and there is no need to hide anything, but nothing has been revealed.
They didn't wait for her to make any move and chose to take the initiative.
Therefore, a person who fell into the flood of Fu'an River stood in front of her perfectly that day without any damage to his body.
Xia Qianqian felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she thought of that person using tricks on her.
She didn't want to see him or have any contact with him, but she had to go to Mo Mansion.
After coming out of Juwang Building, she walked around the street a few times and found an alley. When she came out, she changed into a woman's dress.
Carrying a backpack on her back, she went to the street to buy some bowls and chopsticks, a few kilograms of salt, and some beautiful bottles and jars, which she planned to use to store seasonings.
As she was spinning in the street, a carriage with a green tent slowly approached and stopped beside her.
At the shaft of the car, Geng Zhong was inexplicably enthusiastic, "Miss Xia, are you coming to Jiangcheng for shopping?"
Xia Qianqian turned around, weighed the things in the bamboo basket behind her, and said, "I need something at home, so I'll buy some. By the way, is your young master here?"
On normal days, if he were here, he would have reached out and opened the car curtain.
"He is in the mansion. If you look for him, I will send you there." Geng Zhong spoke smoothly.
This guard brother, are you sure you are not here to pick me up?
Xia Qianqian smiled lightly and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"Miss Xia, you're welcome."
Geng Zhong jumped off the carriage, took the bamboo basket from behind her, and put it into the carriage.
Xia Qianqian held the carriage with both hands, jumped on the carriage, and the green tent carriage went straight to Mo Mansion.
After a while, the green tent carriage entered the courtyard of Mo Mansion. Xia Qianqian had just opened the curtain and jumped out of the car. Before her feet even touched the ground, a celadon bowl was thrown out from above her head.
"Peng" fell into powder less than two or three feet in front of her feet.
Xia Qianqian's face changed. She looked up and saw a pair of eyes staring at her eerily from the window on the second floor.
This person is very strange.
She has been to Mo Mansion many times but has never seen her before.
"Sir, don't lie down at the window. Come down."
On the second floor, Mr. Liu's slightly anxious voice sounded.
The man didn't move. He stared at her straightly. Suddenly, the corners of his lips cracked and he opened and closed his mouth.
No sound came out of his mouth, but Xia Qianqian could tell through the shape of his mouth.
He was saying: "Jade-faced Immortal Lord, Jade-Faced Immortal Lord..."
He stared at her and called the name of the Jade-faced Immortal over and over again.
Xia Qianqian's heart suddenly dropped.
Under her sleeves, she clenched her hands into fists, nodded quickly, and asked, "Mr. Mo, are you there? I'm here to keep the appointment."
In front of the window on the second floor, another cold figure flashed out, "Come up."
Xia Qianqian followed Geng Zhong to the private room on the second floor.
Inside the house, the strange young man was nowhere to be found, and Xia Qianqian walked in with difficulty.
"Sit down!" He was still sitting at the table, wearing a moon-white brocade robe that set off his noble temperament. His movements were elegant and lazy, which ordinary people could not imitate or surpass.
Xia Qianqian walked forward slowly and sat at the table.
Ji Zimo opened the lid of the teapot on the table, put in the tea leaves, and poured in boiling water.
On the table, the fire in the small stove is burning brightly, the water in the pot is boiling, and white mist is floating in the air.
He skillfully scooped up a spoonful of tea leaves, brewed the tea, poured the tea, and pushed the small tea cup towards her.
I have gotten along with cuttlefish many times.
He is sometimes arrogant, domineering, aloof and unreasonable.
Sometimes, he is very warm-hearted and enthusiastic, like now, he even poured tea for her with his own hands.
This person's temperament is really unpredictable.
Xia Qianqian was a little flattered. She took the tea cup, took a sip of tea soup, and couldn't help but praise: "This tea is delicious."
She pulled the basket on the ground to her feet, dug out two pieces of tofu from it, and handed it over, "That day, I saw that you liked tofu very much. Today I brought you two more pieces, as well as the secret recipe.
Sauce."
She pushed the tofu forward, took out two more bamboo tubes, and warned: "This is the soy milk that was just made from the pot this morning. It tastes very good. I brought some for you. You can try it. If you like it, I will give it to you next time."
I’ll bring it to you too.”
Ji Zimo looked at the tofu and soy milk on the table, with a slightly cracked expression on his face. He pushed the walnut cake plate on the table forward, "Have a taste, the new cook made it."
p>
Xia Qianqian stretched out her hand to twist a piece, took a big bite, and nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious."
However, he specially invited her here today, probably not just to invite her to tea and cakes.
"Are you worried?" Xia Qianqian said straight to the point: "Logically speaking, you should be happy that Fanshan has been defeated."
"So far, Cao Ran has not controlled the situation in Fanshan." He said in a calm tone.
"What do you mean?" Xia Qianqian was a little confused.
"On that day, the officers and soldiers only blew up the flood control system at the entrance of Fanshan Mountain, and the official ship followed the water into Fanshan Mountain. They never thought that the mountain was full of traps, and the official ship was confronting the bandits at the entrance."
"It's been so many days and you still haven't won it?"
The longer this confrontation between the two sides drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the officers and soldiers.
"Yes. During the war that day, Feng Wei and his boat sank into the river. Your father was Feng Wei's right-hand man. If he had been with him, he would have probably sunk into the river."
This is what he wanted to tell her today.
This sentence clearly shows that he could tell her the day before yesterday at his doorstep that he would have to wait two days for her to come to his home.
This person is really...
"I understand what you mean."
Xia Qianqian stood up and prepared to leave, but then remembered something, "Cao Shen will be seriously injured, so it is not advisable to spend a long time. Otherwise..."
