Ah Che replied in a low voice: "Go back to the girl, my subordinate has been guarding the restaurant that the girl mentioned for the past few days, and I haven't seen that person appear yet."
Chang Suining: "Then continue to guard."
Listening to her tone, Ah Che couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Do you think that person will definitely appear?"
Chang Suining nodded: "She will definitely do it."
In the past, she was Li Shangshi, the eldest princess of Chongyue, and she showed herself to others as her twin brother Li Xiao most of the time.
During her days as Axiao, she did many things, fought many battles, became the crown prince of Dasheng, and also became the most eye-catching target——
The second prince, whose biological mother was an imperial concubine and whose maternal grandfather was the right minister of the court, regarded "Li Xiao" as a thorn in his side and wanted to remove "Li Xiao" as a stumbling block every day.
The third prince, who had the queen as his backer, had not dealt with A Xiao since childhood, and his hostility towards "Li Xiao", who had become the crown prince, would naturally only increase.
This is the most noteworthy enemy on the surface. The interests of all parties are complicated, and secretly there are countless eyes staring at her as the prince.
People are always pushed forward. If she wants to survive, she needs to treat the court as a battlefield and always remind herself not to be careless in the slightest.
When not fighting, she mostly lived in the Xuance Mansion and the East Palace instead of A Xiao, while A Xiao lived in the Princess Chongyue Mansion to recuperate in her place all year round.
However, on some occasions when it was particularly necessary to verify her identity, she often needed to temporarily change her identity with Ah Xiao. When the two of them were in Beijing together, they always needed to send messages to each other.
Due to the eyes and ears that were always watching the East Palace and Xuance Mansion, she secretly asked her confidants to buy a restaurant in the city in her early years. In addition to inquiring about news from various sources, it was mainly used to convey news to various places.
Before she took over the restaurant, the business was extremely deserted. But after her people took over, the business accidentally became more and more prosperous...
There were constant comings and goings of diners in the restaurant, and with so many people and cluttered eyes, she had to be even more careful when delivering messages, so she got used to using different code patterns to distinguish and replace her correspondence with various places. Not only could outsiders not see the clues, but everyone
Everyone only recognizes their own passwords, and each other does not know the dozens of other passwords, thus ensuring the confidentiality of message transmission.
The pattern she left in the eldest princess's mansion that day was the one she used to communicate with the eldest princess's mansion in the past - and the only person in the eldest princess's mansion who was designated to go to the restaurant to deliver the news was Yuchi.
Therefore, Yuchi knows very well that seeing this code is like seeing her.
It is not easy for a woman to disguise herself as a man, especially when she is still very new at the beginning. She cannot hide it from everyone by herself, so she needs someone to cover for her and cooperate with her——
Yuchi was the female envoy originally selected by the Ming Dynasty to guard this shocking secret with her.
From the first day she started pretending to be Axiao, Yuchi knew this secret clearly.
During the days when she allowed herself to become Axiao, Yuchi accompanied her from unfamiliarity to proficiency, from uneasiness to calmness.
She once regarded Yuchi as the most loyal and closest person besides Azeng.
Of course, the reason why she now concluded that Yuchi would be found using that secret code was not because she believed in the other party's so-called loyalty——
Loyalty will disappear, but the guilt and fear of doing something unworthy, such as betraying one's master and killing one's master, and having to keep a secret that could lead to death, are destined to remain deep in my heart.
Even if Yuchi is not crazy enough to conclude that she is still alive based on a code, it will definitely give rise to many uneasy speculations.
These speculations cannot be suppressed. They will only intensify in the hearts of those with a guilty conscience, causing them to suffer from fear all the time until they push open the door called confirmation with their own hands——
Therefore, she firmly believed that the jade chips would definitely come, sooner or later.
She has many things to do, and she is not anxious about this one thing. What she should be anxious about is Yuchi, who can only think about this one thing all the time in her heart.
…
The day after Chang Suining returned home, Yao Xia led a group of young ladies who had been impressed by Chang Suining in Dayun Temple to the front door of the Chang family.
As soon as Yao Xia saw Chang Sui Ning, she clung to her. She hugged Chang Sui Ning's arm and said, "Sister Chang has gone to the Imperial College to study. It's really different. Now she has the scent of books again!"
Who could not be fascinated by Sister Chang like this?
Changsui An just came to the garden and saw the round-faced girl with an enchanted smile among the flowers, holding her sister's arm in ecstasy.
The other girls in bright clothes also gathered around, chatting with her sister about everything, all of them with bright eyes.
Chang Sui'an paused and frowned: "...Where did these people come from? Why are they all pestering Ningning like this?"
The sword boy also frowned.
Manager Bai said that there were many young ladies from various houses in the house, all of whom were not engaged, so he hinted that he would bring his husband, who was already of marriageable age, to have a chance encounter.
Will it save you trouble?
After hearing these words that were too casual, the sword boy couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As expected of the Chang family, even the husband's marriage was about saving trouble.
Lang Jun's reaction at this moment was obviously too easy.
Obviously, there is no little lady in Langjun's eyes, but he divides people into "my sister" and "those people who pester my sister"——
"Brother?"
Chang Sui Ning has always had sharp eyes and ears, and he has already spotted Chang Sui An behind the flowers and trees not far away.
Chang Sui An had no choice but to step forward.
As the young man came and saluted, the girls who returned the salute secretly cast curious glances - is this Mrs. Chang's brother?
These overt or covert gazes made Chang Sui Anpo feel uncomfortable, and he hurriedly said: "Ning Ning, I have something to do, so I won't disturb you for your flower viewing."
Chang Suining nodded.
Before Chang Sui'an left, he subconsciously glanced at the pair of arms that were still holding his sister tightly, and the owner of those arms——
Yao Xia also looked at him, and when their eyes met, Chang Sui'an secretly made a note of this person.
After his sister finally came back for two days, he still wanted to talk to her, but a group of people came to compete with him to fight for her - and this person looked like the leader.
"The elder brother from Mrs. Chang's family is really majestic..."
"As expected of a general's disciple."
"Last time at Dayun Temple, I only saw them once from a distance. Today I got closer and saw them clearly...Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang are equally beautiful."
After Chang Sui An left, a group of lively girls began to praise him without hesitation.
They naturally know that the Chang brothers and sisters are not really blood brothers and sisters, and they are not similar in life. Mrs. Chang is delicate and delicate, and she is exquisitely beautiful, while Mr. Chang is powerful and strong, and he is a bold and bold person
Handsome.
While the girls were chirping and praising, someone poked Yao Xia lightly: "Axia, why don't you say anything?"
At this time, how can we miss the words of this lecherous person?
Yao Xia, who was called by name, recalled and commented: "Brother from the Chang family has really big eyes. I am really envious of him."
When she was just about to take a look, she saw the other person staring at her. She didn't know why for a moment. She only saw the big eyes. Just when she was wondering how someone could have such big eyes, she didn't have time to take a closer look at the other person.
left already.
She was only curious about one thing. With such big eyes, could she see more and more clearly? If she could lend them to her to see a beautiful young lady, she would be living up to God's gift.
This thought passed quickly, and Yao Xia quickly returned her focus to Chang Suining: "Sister Chang, can you tell us more about what happened in the Imperial College?"
Chang Suining thought of his daily martial arts practice, reading, fishing and eating fish, and for a moment he didn't know where to start to add some interest.
And adding interest through words is only superficial at best——
After she gets familiar with the environment, it's time to consider actually doing something interesting.
…
By the time Yao Xia left Chang Mansion, it was already getting dark.
This insatiable behavior made Chang Sui An Pin realize some similarities between him and Qiao Yubai, and he became more impressed with Yao Xia.
Yao Xia, who had monopolized Sister Chang's sister all day, was in a good mood. She got off the carriage in front of her house, and even her steps were particularly brisk.
Yao Xia walked towards her home while talking to the female envoy. When she reached the front yard, she met Yao Yi coming towards her.
"Uncle."
"It's A-Xia." Yao Yi asked casually, "Where are you going?"
Yao Xia smiled contentedly and said, "I stayed at General Chang's residence for a whole day."
Yao Yi suddenly realized: "Did you go to the ordinary lady?"
"Yes, Sister Chang is now studying in the Imperial College. It's not easy to meet her."
Yao Yi was surprised and embarrassed: "You went to the Imperial College to study?"
Yao Xia nodded: "Sister Chang has accepted Qiao Jijiu as her disciple, but the apprenticeship banquet has not been officially held yet."
"Oh...that's it." Yao Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, a little confused and a little thinking.
"Uncle, I'm going back first." Yao Xia didn't say any more, and left after saying goodbye.
Yao Yi took a few steps forward, but stopped again, thinking in his mind.
Didn't you practice martial arts before? Why are you thinking of going to the Imperial College to learn from Qiao Jijiu now?
What is this guy doing with a hammer on this side and a stick on the other side?
A girl's whim?
But having said that...becoming a disciple is a good thing.
Especially a scribe with the status of Qiao Jijiu as his teacher.
Throughout the past and present, some unknown people still need to become famous before they can achieve anything, and there are only two shortcuts to becoming famous. One of them is to become a disciple. If you can become a disciple of a famous person, you will immediately attract attention. If you fail to become a disciple,
It is also a guaranteed profit without loss. It can be said that if you get a little bit, you will make a little bit.
Therefore, this "Word Worshiping Technique" is actually a must-have product used in ancient and modern times to become famous.
The second one is the "Typing Technique". Just like when a knight enters the arena for the first time and wants to make a name for himself quickly, he always has to issue gauntlets everywhere and challenge the masters of various sects.
The same goes for those who are competing for hegemony. Either you beat me or I beat you. The essence of this shortcut is to slap others in the face and promote your own name. Even if you lose, as long as you can survive, you will be "
The effect of the word "ru" is also gratifying, so this method is also very popular and enduring——
Yao Tingwei thought of this, and suddenly flashed in front of his eyes the face of Prince Ying Guo with a bruised nose and swollen face when he was expelled from Dayun Temple...
Then came a thrill.
She seems to have no rules, but in fact she is beating and worshiping her... Could it be that she just wants to become famous?
But what does she want to do after making a name for herself?
Yao Yi took two steps forward, stopped, and then moved forward again.
Seeing the strange steps of his master, the young man was confused.
Look again - Yao Yi said from the bottom of his heart again.
But not only should we take another look...
Need to see more.
He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the last twilight that was about to be swallowed up by the night.
At the same moment, in Anyi Square, in the Cui family ancestral hall, a figure was kneeling.
He is a frequent visitor to this place, Cui Lang, the sixth son of the Cui family.
At this moment, he said he was kneeling on the mat, but he was already half-sitting and dozing off. It was not until he heard footsteps coming from behind that he immediately knelt upright.
"Brother has this kind of vigilance, so it would be appropriate to be a sentinel."
Hearing this voice, Cui Lang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around. Seeing Cui Tang's empty hands, he asked, "Where is the food?"
Cui Tang looked at him coolly: "You didn't have anything to eat, but you were punished."
Cui Lang was puzzled: "Am I not being punished?"
"Kneeling down in the ancestral hall is already a common thing for you. Is it considered a punishment to eat a meal?" Cui Tang said: "My father said that you have refused to change despite repeated admonitions. I should think of a way to treat you so that you can truly grow up."
It’s a memory——”
Cui Lang felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Are you going to ban my feet?"
"That's not true."
Cui Langsong sighed and became nonchalant.
It doesn't matter, as long as he is not locked up at home, everything will be fine.
Cui Tang: “I just want you to study——”
Cui Lang: "Reading?"
Cui Tang: "Go to the Imperial College."
Cui Lang: "Where to go?!"
"The Imperial College." Seeing his expression, Cui Tang comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, although you are not good at studying, you are still a member of the Cui family. It is still easy to get into the Imperial College."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...But I went to the Imperial Academy and could only go home once every ten days. How is this different from being in jail?" Cui Lang was horrified: "I just had a glass of wine.
If you have a fight with someone, this is not the crime!"
As he spoke, he suddenly stared at Cui Tang, frightened and a little suspicious: "Cui Tang, are you trying to coax me? Why would my father ask me to go to the Imperial College?"
My father regarded himself as a noble person and never disdained to interact with ordinary people from poor families. However, there were many children of ordinary people in the Imperial College. How much my father had to hate him to think of punishing his son like this, disgusting him and hurting his son eight hundred times.
A thousand ways?
Cui Tang nodded: "Father is not very happy, but this is what grandfather meant."
Cui Langdeng's eyes widened and his face turned pale: "It's over. There is no possibility of changing my grandfather's decision..."
"And it must have a deep meaning." Cui Tang added.
Cui Lang felt desperate and lay down on the mat, wailing: "Father did not dare to disobey my grandfather... What about mother? I have worked hard for her for many years, and she didn't even save me?"
"My mother has had this idea for a long time. Due to my father's stubbornness, I never dared to mention it. It's the best time for my grandfather to speak up. She is already happily burning incense in the small Buddhist hall."
Cui Lang's desperate wails echoed through the entire ancestral hall.
Cui Tang listened quietly as his brother's wailing gradually became weak and turned into moans.
Unexpectedly, the more he groaned, the more he felt aggrieved. Finally, he sat up, pursed his lips, and walked out quickly.
Cui Tang looked at his back and asked, "Why, brother, are you going to ask your grandfather for some arguments?"
"I wonder, do you have the guts?" Cui Lang said angrily and aggrieved, "I'm not the eldest brother!"
Cui Tang followed up: "Then why is brother so aggressive?"
