Seeing Rong Zhen and a group of strange Si Tianjian qi practitioners gathered in his small courtyard, he was unprepared for his wonderful thoughts. His heart "thumped" and his expression froze.
How did the money-lending fairy find Huang Xuan?
Could it be that something was found?
Her first thought was, could it be that the money-owed fairy had found out that Ouyang Changshi was kind to Huang Xuan, and was also indirectly kind to her who had just asked questions in the inner warehouse without knowing anything about it, so she guessed something and came to her door.
Check?
Miaoxi, who had a guilty conscience, suddenly became a little desperate.
"Fairy... why is the fairy here?"
She raised her little head and forced a smile towards Rong Zhen and everyone else.
Rong Zhen glanced at her and calmly didn't answer. He turned to look at Huang Xuan. This action made Miao Si's lucky heart drop rapidly.
But at this moment, Huang Xuan left Rong Zhen's side, went to the kitchen to pour tea, and said in a brisk tone:
"Miao Si, these sisters are your new friends? Why didn't you mention where you were just now? It's so early in the morning. These sisters have been waiting for you for a long time and said they wanted to see you."
"Uh..." Miaosi got stuck.
He couldn't help but look at Rong Zhen and the other eight Si Tianjian Qi practitioners, and found that their faces were as usual. Rong Zhen looked around the courtyard, and there was no unkind atmosphere in the courtyard.
"No need to pour tea." Rong Zhen said toward the kitchen, then turned to look at Miao Si and glanced at the bowl in her hand: "Are you full?"
Miaosi nodded cautiously.
Although Rong Zhen said no, Huang Xuan still insisted on bringing the tea out and served a cup of hot tea to everyone in the hospital.
When passing by Miao Si, the little girl in red coat lowered her voice and asked curiously:
"Miao Si, is this the Qi Practitioner you mentioned? It's full of immortal energy."
Huang Xuan glanced at the most beautiful girl in the icy palace dress, and felt that she was standing there like the moon high on the branches in late autumn, cold and distant.
Miao Si nodded bravely.
Huang Xuan's eyes showed some awe.
Rong Zhen suddenly said: "She is the Huang Xuan you said?"
Huang Xuan couldn't help turning her head, looking at Miao Si as if she was surprised and asked: Did you mention me?
Of course Miao Si didn't dare to say it. She mentioned it when she first pretended to be a name. She forced herself to stay calm and tried her best to pretend not to care:
"Well, this girl is the ink worker of Hanlei Ink Studio. She has served me pretty well before, so the Japanese fairy left and planned to reward her with some talents. She can be regarded as a talented girl in Xunyang. She can be regarded as a poor person in the family. After all the hardships, she will be rewarded...
…”
After a pause, she changed her words, smiled and said:
"Fairy, let's come in and chat. This little girl is really annoying here asking questions. She is too ignorant. Fairy, don't be the same as her. She happens to have to go to work in the Ink Studio."
Rong Zhen glanced at the little Mo Jing who acted like an arrogant uncle in front of Huang Xuan and said nothing.
Instead, Huang Xuan shook her head and said:
"There's no rush in Mozhai. It's important to entertain your friends. It's rare to see you bring friends here. Have they had breakfast? There's still some porridge in the kitchen. It's not enough for me to cook..."
"Shut up, are you allowed to speak here?"
Miao Si suddenly scolded.
Huang Xuan's tea-pouring hand froze.
Rong Zhen and others turned their heads and watched with cold eyes. They saw the little female official in Confucian uniform who was fawning in front of them. She didn't have a good look at the little girl in red coat. She pointed at the door and said in a very impatient tone:
"Ji Ji Wai Wai Wai Wai, you are meddling in other people's business. Fairy, you can call me sister? I don't even dare to get close to you.
"Go away and do your work. If you talk too much, you won't be able to get any benefits from your family after I am gone."
The contents of the hospital were really waiting for Si Tianjian and the qi practitioners to look at him sideways, either calmly, coldly, or watching the excitement.
Huang Xuan closed her mouth and lowered her head.
She went to pour the tea for the last woman in white, buried her face and returned to the kitchen, put the teapot away, and prepared to leave.
Among the eight white-clothed qigong practitioners brought by Rong Zhen, the leaders were a woman and a man. They both had red hair, painted clothes, and a red mole between their eyebrows.
"Ah."
Unlike Rong Zhen, the female with eyebrow mole, who was watching indifferently, Shi, the male with eyebrow mole, chuckled.
The laughter seemed a bit harsh in the lonely courtyard.
The man with the mole on his eyebrow lowered his eyes and sniffed the tea, then blew it, took half a sip, and said leisurely:
"You are a little ink spirit, but you are so arrogant and domineering among ordinary people in the market, and you are free and easy."
Miao Si immediately changed her face smoothly and her tone was pitiful:
"The reason why Fairy and Xian Deng laugh is because these girls from poor families are so uneducated. If they are given some sunshine, they will shine brightly. They like to touch their noses and faces."
The man with the eyebrow mole sneered and wanted to speak, but at this moment, Rong Zhen and the woman with the eyebrow mole cast their gazes at him.
The history of men with eyebrow moles lowered their eyes and said nothing more.
On the other side, Rong Zhen and Shi, the girl with the eyebrow mole, looked at each other.
"That's the right one, right?"
Rong Zhen asked softly.
The woman with the mole on her eyebrow nodded, looked up and down at the little girl in the red coat in the kitchen, and couldn't help but admire:
"Yes, these eyes are really beautiful, and most importantly, they are so full of spirituality."
Miao Si, who was listening with all his ears, suddenly became nervous and hurriedly spoke:
"Female History, let's go in and talk. Speaking of which, I thought of a possible clue..."
Rong Zhen and the girl with a mole on her eyebrows didn't pay much attention to the idea of finding a topic. The girl with a mole on her eyebrows walked to the door, blocked Huang Xuan who was about to go out, and asked kindly:
"Does the girl know about Qi Practitioners?"
Huang Xuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to take a look at Miao Si, but the previous scolding made her hold back and nodded:
"Wiaoxi said it."
"Then did she say that you are very suitable for Qi training?"
Huang Xuan asked weakly: "Really? I thought you were trying to coax me."
The woman with the eyebrow mole shook her head, smiled and said:
"No, you are a good young man who came from a poor family, but you should not fall into the market and let your pearls fall into dust. Speaking of which, I was similar to you when I was young, and I can sympathize and understand you very much.
"Fortunately, today's Holy Emperor and Saint Ming treat the people kindly and the world is clean and clear. Si Tianjian respects His Majesty's teachings and accepts the folk jade without letting any pearls become dusty. The same goes for you, Xiaoxuan, right? Are you willing to go back with us?
Entering the Si Tianjian to practice?
"From now on, not only will you have no worries about food and clothing, but you will also have the opportunity to see the holy face and honor your family. The officials and gentlemen you looked up to in the past will respect you and lower their eyebrows. Your family will also be able to live a wealthy life because of you... This
It’s not a dream, you just need to nod your head to realize it.”
The woman with a mole on her eyebrows replaced Rong Zhen, who was not very good at persuading others. She spoke in a friendly tone and spoke eloquently. The most important thing is that she did not force her with words, but showed her affection and lured her with benefits.
Miao Si's scalp was numb when she heard this. Her plan to drive them out failed.
Originally, she deliberately attacked Huang Xuan as a clever trick. Not only did she get rid of the suspicion that she helped Ouyang Changshi conceal it for Huang Xuan,
Although looking at the reactions of Rong Zhen and others, it doesn't seem like she has doubts in that direction, but it does not prevent her from taking precautions.
In addition, she also wanted to drive Huang Xuan away, fearing that the group of Si Tianjian Qi practitioners would notice the clues in her eyes.
But I didn't expect that what I was afraid of would come.
"I...can I think about it..." At this moment, Huang Xuan replied weakly.
The woman with the eyebrow mole frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows, her smile remained unchanged, she touched her head and sighed:
"Hey, what's there to consider? Isn't it easy to choose between poverty and wealth? Do you have any difficulties, or...
"Who threatens you and doesn't want you to go? It's okay. You can just say it. Rong Zhennvshi and I will stand up for you and uphold justice..."
The girl with the mole on her eyebrow was very good at tempting people. When Huang Xuan hesitated, she couldn't help but glance at Miao Si.
The female with the eyebrow mole also turned around immediately, her smile disappeared, and she and the male with the eyebrow mole looked coldly at the little girl wearing a Confucian crown.
Miaosi immediately showed an innocent expression of harmlessness and blinked her eyes, seeming to be showing off her cuteness to everyone.
The female historian with eyebrow moles did not accept this trick. She poked Miao Si with her index finger and asked with squinted eyes:
"Xiao Xuan, is this little Mo Jing trying to intimidate you, or...has he said something bad about the Saint and Si Tianjian in private?"
"No." Huang Xuan immediately shook her head.
Well, except for the sentence "Luoyang is not a prosperous age".
"Why is that?" The woman with the eyebrow mole frowned.
Huang Xuan hesitated to speak, but still didn't say anything.
In fact, I want to say that she has never picked up a few pennies since she was a child, let alone such a big pie.
In the past, every time Huang Xuan met Big Pie, either she wanted to coax her into selling herself into a brothel, or she wanted to use her influence to lure a certain elder into the trap.
Rong Zhen suddenly asked:
"Did Ouyang Lianghan help you?"
Huang Xuan didn't answer and glanced at this cold and cold girl in palace clothes who said little.
Rong Zhen's voice slowed down a bit, rarely so cold:
"I did some research on this matter when I came here. It seems to have happened a few days ago."
She nodded gently:
"You don't need to be on guard. I have no enmity with Ouyang Lianghan. On the contrary, I am familiar with him and have frequent dealings with him. It seems that we are destined to be friends."
Huang Xuan pursed her lips and asked in a low voice:
"Sister, do you really have a good relationship with Mr. Chang Shi?"
Rong Zhen nodded lightly:
"To tell you the truth, I don't think I'm very familiar with him, but I cooperate with him on official matters. And I quite appreciate his way of doing things.
"I have been to Longcheng once. Although I don't talk to him much outside of official business, I have some recognition in my heart. He is a down-to-earth and good official who does practical things for the people. He doesn't have much selfishness."
When Huang Xuan heard this, her originally stern little face, although she tried hard to hold it back, still bloomed like a flower.
Hearing that the cold-hearted girl in palace attire, who seemed to be the leader of the crowd, actually praised him, and judging from the surrounding women and men with eyebrow moles, they couldn't help but squint their eyes in reaction. It seemed to be a very rare high praise.
Huang Xuan was a little elated and said happily:
"When you see a wise person, you can think about it. My sister can see this. My sister is equally powerful and a good person."
Good guy? Miaoxi opened his mouth slightly.
Rong Zhen raised his eyebrows.
She didn't care about the blunt and bold words of the little girl in red coat, and nodded and suggested:
"Do you need me to call him here? It just so happens that you can also express your thanks."
Huang Xuan shyly dodges her eyes: "No need to call me benefactor. I believe that my sister's eyes can't deceive others."
Rong Zhen's lips softened slightly: "Okay, don't call him yet."
The woman with the eyebrow mole's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked around at Huang Xuan's eyes, which were as bright as stars, and her eyes were as bright as ink, as if she were admiring a rare piece of art.
She couldn't wait to ask:
"Now that we know we are not bad people, Xiaoxuan is willing to go with us."
Huang Xuan wanted to ask her last question, but she was a little confused.
Rong Zhen suddenly said:
"You can consider for a few more days whether to enter the Sitian Prison, but today, we have an urgent matter and need your help."
Huang Xuan was startled: "What's the matter...can I help?"
Rong Zhen lowered his eyes:
"There is a case where the thief needs to be traced... This case is also of concern to your respected Changshi Ouyang. He is also assisting me in handling the case. If the thief can be found, he will also be successful and he will be happy."
Before Huang Xuan could reply, Miao Si couldn't help but interrupt: "Fairy, she is still young and her body is weak and it is not suitable..."
The next moment, her words were stuck, because both the woman with the eyebrow mole and the woman with the eyebrow mole looked at her coldly, so Miao Si could only lower her head and remain silent.
Huang Xuan didn't know why, and said seriously with a small face:
"If I can help with the investigation, I'll be obliged to do so... Can I ask what needs to be done?"
Rong Zhen walked up to the little girl in the red coat and bent down to be at her level.
Rong Zhen stared directly at Huang Xuan's lacquered eyes that could pierce through illusions, and whispered:
"I need... to use your eyes to catch this thief... Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Huang Xuan looked increasingly curious.
Miao Si seemed to understand something, and her eyes suddenly became anxious. Unfortunately, there was a man named Shi with an eyebrow mole next to her, so she couldn't go and report the news.
Rong Zhen turned his head and spoke in Huang Xuan's ear.
Just talked for a while.
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Everyone in the hospital turned around instantly.
…
After bidding farewell to his junior sister in Jiangzhou lobby, Ouyang Rong arrived at Xingzifang directly.
He took Yan Liulang with him, followed the address, walked through the streets and alleys, and found an old courtyard.
Ouyang Rong took a look at the dilapidated yard. If the address information was correct, then the Huang family and his daughter lived here now, but he didn't know if anyone was there in the morning.
Ouyang Rong was holding a long cloth bag and vaguely heard conversations inside the door, so he knocked on the door with his own hands.
"Dong dong dong."
The conversation inside the courtyard gate suddenly stopped.
Before he could ask any more questions, the courtyard door suddenly opened from inside, revealing a female official in white from Si Tianjian.
Ouyang Rong's expression remained unchanged, his eyes jumped over the shoulders of the female officer in white, and he glanced at the scene in the courtyard.
"Hey, why is the female historian here?" he asked curiously.
In the courtyard, he saw a little girl in a red coat that he had seen several times, and a very familiar cold and cold girl in palace clothes.
At this time, Rong Zhen stood beside Huang Xuan, seeming to whisper.
The arrival of Ouyang Rong brought their conversation to an end.
Huang Xuan, who had been listening seriously with a small face, suddenly turned around, a little surprised,
Rong Zhen also looked at him.
"I'm here to investigate a case. Why is Ouyang Changshi here too?" she asked with narrowed eyes.
As he spoke, Rong Zhen's eyes slowly moved down and landed on the long cloth bag in Ouyang Rong's arms.
"Investigating the case?"
Ouyang Rong explained calmly:
"I was planning to go to Yuan Sima to learn piano skills. He happened to live nearby. I heard that the Huang family and his daughter lived here, so I stopped by to visit them."
Having said this, he suddenly turned around and ordered:
"Rokuro, help me put the piano back into the carriage. I'll go in and have a seat. I'll go find Yuan Sima later."
"Yes, Mingfu."
Everyone in the courtyard saw Ouyang Rong hand the long cloth bag in his arms to Yan Liulang.
Then Yan Liulang carried this ordinary long cloth bag that looked like a piano case out of the courtyard and placed it in the carriage at the entrance of the courtyard.
Ouyang Rong turned around, smiled at everyone, patted his sleeves, and walked into the courtyard under the attention of everyone.
At the same time, he also quietly looked at the entire audience with his peripheral vision...
