Qu Le showed a clear expression and asked casually: "It sounds like you are the second generation of rich people?"
“What is the rich second generation?”
Qu Le said: "If my father makes money to build up a piece of the family business and becomes a rich man, then his son will naturally be the second generation of rich people. In addition, there are the second generation of officials, the second generation of power, the second generation of Hou, and so on.
.”
Li Changfeng smiled and said: "This statement is quite new. I am considered a rich second generation."
Qu Le immediately became interested. She leaned over and asked mysteriously: "Tell me, how rich is your family? Do you drink one bowl of mung bean porridge?"
Although Li Changfeng didn't understand why he had to drink one bowl of mung bean porridge, he still replied gracefully: "If you must drink one bowl after another, that's okay."
"Your family is really rich, and you can even do such wasteful things!" Qu Le couldn't help but sigh, "But if I were your father, I would definitely call you a prodigal, you really don't know how to save food!
"
Li Changfeng: "..."
Breakfast was served. Facing the fragrant food, Qu Le moved her index fingers and started eating without any politeness. Li Changfeng hardly ate anything and kept his eyes glued to her. From time to time, he would pick up vegetables and pour tea for her.
There were mung bean pellets on her mouth, and she wanted to wipe it with a handkerchief, but unfortunately she reacted too quickly, and she dodged it.
Qu Le sneered: "I can do this kind of trivial matter myself. You can eat it too. Don't always watch me eat it. It makes me feel like a big foodie. It's so shameless!"
She stretched out the tip of her tongue and swiped it gently, then rolled the mung bean grains at the corner of her mouth into her mouth.
When Li Changfeng saw her dexterous little red tongue, he didn't know what he thought of. His eyes suddenly became dark. He took a crystal dumpling and put it in her bowl. He said softly: "I'm not hungry, please eat quickly."
Well, if you have nothing to do later, come with me to go shopping outside."
He didn't use a questioning tone when he said this, and Qu Le's own opinions were directly ignored by him, but because his expression was so natural, Qu Le didn't feel any violation at all, as if such a thing was born.
In this way, coupled with the fact that she was very nervous about certain conveniences, she didn't think too much at the moment. She nodded while eating dumplings: "Oh."
After she had eaten and drank enough, Li Changfeng handed her a handkerchief and motioned for her to wipe her mouth.
Qu Le took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth randomly. The originally white and clean handkerchief was immediately stained with a yellow oil stain. She smiled and said: "Just put this handkerchief with me first, I will wash it later."
I'll return it to you when it's clean."
"No need," Li Changfeng stretched out his right hand and smiled like a spring breeze, "I like to clean my own things myself."
Qu Le had no choice but to return the handkerchief to him. He carefully folded the handkerchief and put it into his sleeve. His movements were so gentle that people who didn't know better would have thought he was hiding some rare treasure.
Qu Le couldn't help but blush. She raised her head and downed a large cup of tea, then raised her hand and shouted: "Man, pay the bill!"
The innkeeper immediately rushed over and said, "Sir, a total of one hundred and twenty coins."
Li Changfeng directly gave him two hundred coins and said, "No need to look for it."
The clerk took the copper coins with both hands and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Okay! Thank you, sir!"
Li Changfeng and Qu Le walked out of the inn, and Qu Le asked: "What do you want to buy?"
"Let's take a look first," Li Changfeng walked side by side with her. His steps were calm and steady, his posture was tall and elegant, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, which made him look gentler and kinder. Qu Le glanced at him secretly.
His profile profile is very clear, but it's a pity that his facial features are too ordinary, which wastes his good temperament.
They went to the West Street Market and bought some thick warm clothes to avoid being exposed to the cold again in Xiya City. Of course, the last person to pay was Li Changfeng.
Qu Le couldn't help but smile at him and said: "I heard someone say before that men are most handsome when they are paying. You are so handsome today!"
Li Changfeng told the boss that he would deliver the goods directly to the inn later. After hearing what Qu Le said, Li Changfeng turned to smile at her, with tenderness in his eyebrows and eyes: "I hope you can play more tricks for me in the future.
Cool opportunity."
"I love hearing that!" Qu Le chuckled and reached out to pat his arm, "Don't worry, there will definitely be many opportunities like this in the future!" This guy looked quite thin, but his arm muscles were surprisingly strong.
Yes, it feels very good in the hand. I will secretly rub some oil on it if I have the opportunity in the future.
When she turned around to look at something at another stall, Li Changfeng stretched out his hand to press the spot she had just photographed, and the smile on his face became gentler.
The boss selling warm clothes next to him accidentally caught a glimpse of Li Changfeng's expression, and was immediately startled by the crazy obsession in his eyes. He seemed to be desperately trying to hold someone tightly in his hand, even if it was him.
Even if he dies, he will drag that person with him to hell. The boss followed his gaze and secretly looked over. When he saw that the target he was staring at was a young nun, he couldn't help but sweat for this little nun.
With such a crazy man targeting her, she can only wish her the best of luck.
Li Changfeng walked to Qu Le and saw that she was bargaining with the landlady with a handful of red silk thread. He stood beside her without saying a word, quietly watching Qu Le's serious counter-offer expression. Until she agreed on the price, he was about to act like
When she paid the bill as usual, she took out the only two coins she had from her purse and used one of them to buy a small handful of red thread.
She carefully put away the red thread, and Li Changfeng asked: "Why did you buy these threads?"
Qule blinked mysteriously: "You'll know later."
After they finished shopping, they went directly back to the inn. After lunch, Qu Le huddled in the guest room alone and did not come out until evening. When she saw Li Changfeng, she took out a red concentric knot and asked proudly: "
Do I make it good?"
This concentric knot is woven one by one with red silk threads, with a copper coin strung in the middle, which represents the meaning of concentric knots.
Li Changfeng took the concentric knot and looked at it carefully: "It's really beautiful. Is this for me?"
"Well, it's a reward for your help to us along the way. Although this thing is not valuable, it is a little bit of my heart at least. When you find your wife later, you can give her this concentric knot. It will definitely make you happy.
Make her change her mind about you," Qu Le said with a smile.
Li Changfeng held the knot tightly in his palms, looked at her intently, and solemnly made a promise as if he was swearing: "I will definitely give it to her."
They spent another night in the inn, and Qu Le woke up early the next morning. According to the plan, they had to continue their journey this morning, but when she knocked on Li Changfeng's door, she didn't see him after knocking for a long time.
People come out.
It was so early in the morning. If he wasn't staying well in his room, could he have gone out to the latrine?
Qu Le was very confused. She grabbed a waiter and asked, "Do you know where the guests living in this room have gone?"
The waiter immediately replied: "Are you talking about that young master who spends a lot of money? Before dawn today, his servant came to the inn to look for him. It seemed that something important had happened at home, so he followed the servant and left.
By the way, he left a letter for you before he left."
He ran downstairs quickly, then ran back and handed Qu Le a letter.
Qule said: "Thank you."
"It's a small thing, you're welcome, hehe."
After the waiter left, Qu Le immediately opened the envelope and took out a piece of letter paper. The person who wrote the letter seemed to be leaving in a hurry. He only wrote a few words in the letter: "There is an emergency at home. I need to return quickly. You will go first."
Xiya, I will finish our household chores and then meet you in Xiya."
The signature is "Changfeng".
Qu Le stared at the word "wind" for a long time. She didn't know if it was her imagination. She always felt that the word was written particularly smoothly, with firm and powerful strokes and great momentum.
Li Changfeng left, but the warm-weather clothes he bought were still there, and even the sleigh had been booked in advance. Qu Le, the monk and his disciples could just get in the car and set off.
The driver was an old man in his forties with a full beard. He drove the sleigh skillfully while chatting with Miao Ben. Qu Le sat in the corner next to him, tightening the collar of his cloak and trying his best to stretch his body.
She huddled up to avoid the blowing snow and wind, yawned lazily, closed her eyes and began to take a nap.
What she doesn't know is that a bloody storm is quietly brewing in Wushuang City at this moment...
Song Huaicai, the imperial censor, has been tracing the truth of the case of Prime Minister Qu's collusion with the enemy and treason. However, because the case occurred so many years ago, the scene has long been destroyed, and the parties involved have been buried deep underground. Even if they are dug up now, only
Along with the bones, much of the evidence left behind could not be found, making the process of overturning the case very difficult.
After discussing with the emperor, Song Huaicai decided to try his luck in Yanye City in Tianxu. Song Huaicai secretly sent people to Yanye City, spent a lot of money to establish relationships, found the valet who had followed the Tianxu King for more than thirty years, and got him drunk.
, and got some clues about that year from his mouth.
The King of Tianxu did have contact with a certain official in Wushuang City back then, but the other person was not Prime Minister Qu, because that official once sent a confidant to Yanye City, and the person responsible for receiving the confidant happened to be this valet.
Out of curiosity, the valet specially chatted with this confidant for a few more words during the reception. From the way he dressed and talked, it could be seen that he was from a noble family, and there was also a very patterned necklace hanging on his waist.
Special jade pendant.
The person responsible for searching for clues asked him to draw the pattern of the jade pendant, and then bought a piece of Tianxu King's calligraphy and painting from him at a high price. With these two things, the person unknowingly
Returned to Wushuang City and handed them to Song Huaicai.
Song Huaicai wanted to compare the calligraphy and paintings written by King Tianxu with the collaborating letters searched from Prime Minister Qu's house to see if the handwriting between the two was written by the same person. However, he searched through the entire archives of Dali Temple.
, and could not find the collaboration letters that were used as evidence of conviction, so the handwriting comparison could only be abandoned for the time being. (To be continued)
