The examination results were announced, and all the candidates in Beijing were either ecstatic or extremely sad at the moment. However, Sangu Qin chose to leave the capital today, and Feng Ziying, Jia Huan and several of her important men went to see her off. Read other people at 0 o'clock That's all, only Jia Huan looked mournful and full of sorrow.
Feng Ziying said: "What are Huan'er doing? He looks unhappy."
Jia Huan sighed softly: "Looking at other people's spring. The garden is full of colors, it's just a little idle." Feng Ziying and others were puzzled after hearing this. Jia Huan raised his eyes and saw Qin Sangu looking around, curling his lips and looking at the sky.
Everyone said a few words of farewell, and Sangu Qin took another look. She still didn't see Jia Xu, and felt a little disappointed. She didn't hide her departure from Beijing. With the ability of their S.H.I.E.L.D., he should know That's right. He bowed his hands to everyone and said goodbye, and walked away.
Feng Ziying asked curiously: "Why does Third Aunt seem to be waiting for someone? Isn't someone who should come to see her off?"
Jia Huan said casually: "No, everything that should come has come." Yibi rode his horse ahead.
Qin Sangu walked less than half a mile south along the official road. She saw a tea stall beside the road from a distance. There was a person sitting in the stall. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she recognized him just by looking at his figure. He came out and joined his big black horse. The man didn't want to buy sesame cakes this time. He couldn't help but smile and urged the horse forward.
When she arrived, Jia Xu stood up and said seriously: "I just have some things to do in Qiongzhou, so I'm leaving today. May I ask the third shopkeeper where are you going?"
Qin Sangu tilted her head: "I'm going to Qiongzhou too."
"What a coincidence." Jia Xu said, "In that case, you and I might as well go together. Qiongzhou is far away from each other, and the world is not peaceful now, so we might as well take care of each other."
Qin Sangu also said seriously: "It's just that I have to go to Taiwan first."
"What a coincidence." Jia Xu high-fived, "I also want to go to Taiwan first."
Qin Sangu couldn't help laughing, glanced at him, and picked up the horse's reins: "Let's go."
Jia Xu took out a few copper coins from his arms and put them on the table. He picked up the baggage and flew on his horse, and the two of them rode away together.
Qin Sangu originally wanted to go south quickly and finish her errands early. Jia Xu was not willing to do so, so he looked for excuses every three days to drag her around. On this day, the two of them visited two historical sites in Cangzhou. He casually drank two bowls of sheep intestine soup from the street. Jia Xu asked Qin Sangu to sit and rest for a while, then he ran outside and bought some dried dates dried by local people. When he came back, he smiled and said, "You can do it when you have nothing to do." Eat and have fun.”
Qin Sangu said with both laughter and laughter: "Do you think I am a child?"
Jia Xu said: "Look, you will know that you don't understand. Dried dates nourish qi and kidneys, nourish blood and liver. They are the treasures of heaven and earth."
Qin Sangu smiled and shook her head. After a while, she said seriously: "I really have something important to do when I go to Qiongzhou. I can't just hang around like this later."
Jia Xu said: "I just went out of the capital to escape. I'm not in a hurry. Isn't it the same wherever I escape?"
Qin Sangu's brows moved: "What do you mean?"
Jia Xu became obsessed with the princess hating her and wanted to hire someone to do witchcraft. The prince asked Situ Pan to find an excuse to send her away from the capital for a year and a half so that the princess could vent her resentment elsewhere. He added: " If you don’t believe it, it’s okay for us to quietly go back to the capital to check it out. After all, the princess just thinks you’re not in the capital.”
Qin Sangu was shocked! After half a day, she stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Back to Beijing?"
"Um."
"good."
The two of them quickly returned to Beijing and entered the city in disguise. When it got dusk, Jia Xu took Qin Sangu and went to buy sesame cakes. Next to the sesame cake stall, a lantern seller came up to try to attract business. Jia Xu also gave him a note. Qin Sangu was too busy eating sesame seed cakes while they were hot, so she didn't pay attention. Then she sneaked into Prince Yan's Mansion at night. Jia Xu and Qin Sangu were both very capable and Qin Sangu. The aunt was familiar with the road, and the defense near the princess's courtyard was a little weak, so the two of them easily sneaked into the house and hid on the beams.
After waiting for a long time, a maid of the princess came in. The princess sent the others away and asked: "The Master still hasn't found out?"
The maid whispered: "Your Majesty, it has just been a few days since the announcement of the results. Buddhist and Taoist masters are busy casting spells for Qiu Wei to pray for the Toad Palace to win the title. No one will take our business for the time being. Besides, that master is not Have you gone to Qiongzhou already?"
The princess gritted her teeth and said, "That's why we need a capable mage. Damn it, S.H.I.E.L.D., after hearing that they were checking everyone in our house, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take on the business!" At this moment, Sangu Qin was sitting on the beam. , but glanced at Jia Xu beside him with a smile; Jia Xu blinked and smiled. Then he heard the princess grit her teeth and said, "She killed my son, and this is an irreconcilable hatred!" Qin Sangu frowned.
The maid advised: "Your Majesty, after all, you are the prince's most important confidant and earn a lot of money for our prince."
The princess hummed: "It's just relying on the prince's power. Now that she is gone, the people under her are still making money for the prince? There is no one who can't live without the prince."
The maid asked again: "She is not in the capital. First, she has no birth date, and second, she has no hair or clothes. It will be difficult to do this."
The princess thought for a long time and said: "I will send someone to find out her birth date. But it will take a long time to find out."
The maid hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! As the saying goes, a clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and even a magician can't do it in vain, right?"
The princess thought for a long time and said, "Go and look for it first. If you really can't find it, then talk about it." The maid was busy and responded. She added, "It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If she doesn't die this time, there will be another one." Next time. After all, my wife-in-law is the heir apparent. She is still young now; when she gets older and frail, her business will not be as good as it is now, and the prince will not need her anymore. Then I will kill her. She, will Prince Yueer still embarrass me because of a useless servant?" The maid hurriedly followed the princess's words, making her smile.
Even though she knew she was talking nonsense, Qin Sangu was still shocked when she heard it! Jia Xu squeezed her hand. As soon as the princess fell asleep, they quietly withdrew.
Prince Yan's Mansion was much more defensive at night than during the day. It took some effort for the two of them to leave and sit on the roof of a nearby house.
Qin Sangu asked in surprise: "She actually thought I killed her son?"
Jia Xu said: "Why bother trying to incriminate someone? Why bother trying to reason with a fool?"
Qin Sangu smiled bitterly: "That's right."
Jia Xu added: "Can we listen to it tomorrow at the place where the son died? The maid just now is probably the one who was bribed by the prince."
Qin Sangu shook her head and said, "No, my trip to Qiongzhou is weird." Jia Xu nodded. She glanced at him sideways again, "You actually know that the prince bribed a princess's maid?"
Jia Xu said: "To be honest, I have people around the Crown Prince." Nai smiled and said, "You don't have to guess. There are many spies around the Crown Prince. He is a bit naive. It is very easy to plant people and bribe them. Even if he is surrounded by spies, it is easy to bribe them." If all the people are replaced, a new one can be inserted in less than half a year."
After a moment of silence, Qin Sangu sighed: "None of the prince's sons can compare with him. From this point of view, Cong'er is right. Even though the lord is the first hero, it is inevitable that his son cannot be supported by Adou. .”
Jia Xu said: "What are you worried about? Anyway, you don't have to worry now. How about we take a leisurely stroll all the way to Qiongzhou?"
"Okay. By the way, what's your name?"
"Uncle Jia Wu."
Sangu Qin immediately laughed: "Don't talk nonsense." She just thought that his surname "Jia" was a homophone of "false".
Jia Xu said seriously: "Really."
Instead, he received a slap in the face: "If you don't tell me, forget it."
Jia Xu lowered his head and smiled, and then said, "By the way, are you going to Chen Country?"
"do what?"
"My nephew is going to Chen State for some business, and he sent me a message saying that if you are free, could you come over and help him if you don't have enough money?"
Qin Sangu asked curiously: "Do you still have a nephew?"
Jia Xu said: "Yes, I didn't jump out of a rock. It's just that my family didn't know about me for a long time."
Qin Sangu was startled: "You did this, but you told your family?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "I kept it secret for many years. In fact, I have some grievances with my family, which have been resolved a little recently. Not everyone knows, I only told my brother and a few nephews. After all, we are a family. , the broken bones are still connected with the tendons.”
Qin Sangu raised her head to look at the moon and remained silent.
"My nephew is very naughty, you can be patient with him."
After being silent for a long time, she said casually: "It just makes me happy."
Jia Xu was overjoyed and tried to be calm: "Yeah." After a while, he added, "It's not even midnight yet, why don't you still go shopping? Or find a place to rest? I have a small house. It's far away, and there are usually people cleaning it, but you have to heat the hot water yourself."
Sangu Qin couldn't help but take a breath. After a while, she looked at him and said, "You do have some private property."
Jia Xu suddenly smiled as brightly as a flower: "Actually, we didn't make much money in the past years. Now that the kings have divided their power, our business has suddenly improved." Qin Sangu gave him a sideways look.
The two of them then went to a private house of Jia Xu. Back then, Liu Dengxi thought that he had to keep a small house not far from Prince Yan's palace for emergencies, so he secretly bought this place. Now it has been embezzled by Jia Xu. When I walked in, I saw that the yard had just been cleaned and the yard was clean.
Jia Xu casually left the baggage in the hall, went to the kitchen to take a look, and nodded repeatedly: Those two boys seemed to have something to say. There were four large baskets of fine silver frost charcoal, and even the water in the water tank. They were all newly filled. So she rolled up her sleeves and lit a fire. Qin Sangu had already found a fire stick in the hall, lit a candlestick, and looked around. She saw that although this place was small, it was elegantly decorated. The furnishings are all very good, and I was secretly surprised.
Suddenly Jia Xu came over and asked, "Would you like to take a look around?"
Qin Sangu pointed to a calligraphy on the wall and said, "Is this an authentic work by Mi Fu?"
Jia Xu secretly praised the two little bastards for their cleverness and said, "I guess so." Qin Sangu raised her eyebrows. He said, "It's my nephew's filial piety. I guess he wouldn't dare to fool his uncle with fake ones." .”
At this time, Third Aunt Qin somewhat believed that his surname was really Jia. Because the Rongguo Mansion kept the fifth master's affairs closely guarded from the outside world, and because she had been friends with Jia Cong and Jia Huan for many years, she never inquired about the affairs of their mansion. Therefore, she didn't know Jia Xu. There were quite a few families with the surname Jia in Beijing. Since the young master had the authentic Mi Fu in his hand, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary family. She then went through them in her mind and suspected several families. I didn’t expect the one I was most familiar with.
Jia Xunai held the candlestick by herself and led Sangu Qin around for a while, feeling increasingly satisfied that the two boys had managed to tidy up so neatly and generously in less than three hours— - Even the ostentation is elegant. I have read these books in vain over the years, and I have to praise them when I look back. Qin Sangu had known that he was rich, and she also guessed that he was the son of a general, but she never expected to be so rich. Not to mention The calligraphy and painting antiques displayed in the house are rare. The small weapon room alone contains several ancient weapons, which are both rare. The door curtains and windows everywhere are also made of excellent use gauze.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Jia Xuben was a little hesitant - Jia Huan and Shi Li were both boys, so they just cleaned up the house and returned it. Would they forget about the warehouse, which is a place that they usually don't take care of? It's just that the "warehouse" is too important. ; Since he has ulterior motives, it is not a good idea not to let others see the warehouse.
Sangu Qin was also a little hesitant: she already knew what this person was thinking, but she was a little too eager to look at his warehouse openly. While she was hesitating, the man had already opened the door.
Under the candlelight, he suddenly saw more than 20 boxes neatly lined up inside. Jia Xu opened it and saw only a dazzling field of white flowers. Even if Qin Sangu, as a big shopkeeper, saw this situation There was also a bit of surprise.
Jia Xu immediately understood: Jia Cong had returned to Beijing. Jia Huan was not so bold as to bring a room full of silver ingots for him. He felt his heart beat and said with a smile: "I still have two small coins." Qin Sangu hummed. With a cry, he withdrew.
She then chose a guest room that was pleasant to her eyes. Jia Xu carried her luggage in for her, brought in hot water for washing, and lit a pot of lily incense.
After cleaning up, the two of them went back to the house to rest. Qin Sangu lay on the kang for a while, and suddenly sat up again. She got up, took off her shoes, went to the ground, and lit the candlestick. It was quiet at night, and she took a closer look at this place. The house, not to mention the tables, chairs and beds, are all made of fine rosewood and ancient relics from the Han and Tang Dynasties. The door is hung with goose-yellow flower-embroidered soft curtains, and the windows are covered with the materials that have been painted over the years. The sky-blue soft smoke was falling from the missing rain. The Xuande furnace was now filled with green smoke. Hanging on the wall, Jia Xu said calmly that it was the Nanliang Zhaodan Sword used to ward off evil spirits. She was somewhat in a trance. Returned to Nan'an Prince's Mansion. I haven't lived in such a wealthy house for many years.
Thinking about the past, I suddenly felt a little uneasy. I just looked up and saw a paper bag on the table. On the table were Taohe inkstones as green as blue as jade, and a set of blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen. Among the cultural utensils, a small glass table with twined roses was apparently custom-made by a merchant from the West. A large Ru kiln vase with green peaks and green colors was inserted with several branches of newly blooming peach blossoms that Jia Xu had just cut from outside. The ordinary paper package placed next to these utensils is particularly awkward.
She walked over and opened it, and there were two sesame seed cakes inside!
I didn't see the sesame cakes, but when I saw them, I suddenly felt a little hungry. Fortunately, there was still warm water on the tea stove nearby. Qin Sangu made a pot of tea by herself and ate the two sesame cakes with the tea. After getting clean and full, I went back to the kang to sleep.
