Chapter 268: Offering a book, and seeing Offering a book again!
Xie Hong's speed in the small black room was much slower than Zhengde.
Although he walked very quickly and was accustomed to what he saw on the road, the little princess always sighed wherever she went, of course, the pitiful things of those ghosts.
Xie Hong has lost the start of surprise at this moment. No matter how strange it is, as long as you get used to it, you can face it calmly. Well, just get used to it.
Even so, when it came to the exit, Xie Hong was relieved. A little girl said to a group of lifelike ghosts: It was so pitiful. This scene eventually brought him a strong sense of incongruity, and even a bit of a blow to his confidence in his own craftsmanship.
After leaving the house, Xie Hong looked around and didn't see Zhengde or Xie Qian. He was about to ask about the progress, but suddenly he heard the little princess behind him scream.
Of course, Yongfu's voice was not as bold as Grand Secretary Xie, but it was much sharper. Xie Hong's ears were almost deaf, and he was even more shocked. He thought to himself: Could it be that this little princess is the kind with a long reflex arc that didn't react inside, but when it came out, she suddenly became scared?
It doesn't matter if it's just like this. The most fear is that she keeps thinking about it afterwards, so it's troublesome to leave mental trauma. Xie Hong hurriedly turned around to figure out what kind of symptoms Yongfu is, and to provide targeted psychological counseling.
At the same time, he felt sorry for his heart. If this little prince is really like this, that weird thing is a bit too much, right?
It doesn't matter when he turned around, but before he could see the person clearly, he felt a gentle body pounce into his arms. If it weren't Yongfu, who else would be there?
Xie Hong was stunned at first. The feeling between his chest and abdomen told him that although the little princess is still young, she has a good figure. This feeling is real...
The wrong thought was just a moment, and he immediately realized that this was the imperial city! The person in his arms was the princess!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Xie Hong tried to push and reject, but the little princess hugged him tightly. Without force, it was obviously impossible to push away; if you use force, what should I do if I push the person down? In desperation, he had to ask the other party softly, hoping to awaken the other party's rationality.
"It's so terrible..." After a while, the little princess whispered.
It's really a reversal? Xie Hong was speechless. This reflex arc is too long, right? It's been at least a quarter of an hour since he saw the ghost fire, and he has only responded to it now. It's really...
"Your Highness, don't be afraid, those ghosts are all fake." Xie Hong comforted helplessly. It would be impossible not to comfort him. For him, Yongfu refused to let go! So many people were watching him.
"It's not fake!" The little princess shook her head desperately. Because she hugged her too tightly and had a high friction, Xie Hong's sensation of fire rose.
"It's still moving on it, so terrible..."
No, could it be that some machine was loose and brought out the things inside? Xie Hong looked up and saw nothing, there was nothing on the door frame. Well, if you had to say anything, it was a caterpillar arching and wriggling. But now it's summer, of course there will be caterpillars. What's so strange about it?
However... Xie Hong thought again, this little princess wasn't afraid of insects, right? She wasn't afraid of ghosts or insects? She was really weird.
Waving his hand to bounce the terrible caterpillar away, Xie Hong comforted again: "Your Highness, the insects are gone, you don't have to be afraid..."
"Well..." The little princess raised her head timidly. Xie Hong felt that the strength in her hands was also weak, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
He was shocked and began to think about how to avoid leaking the news. He was not afraid of anything else, but the empress dowager knew! Fortunately, there were not many people outside. Apart from Gu Dayong and others, there were only the few palace maids around Yongfu. How could he settle those palace maids? Xie Hong frowned again.
Before he could figure out a trick, an accident happened again.
There was another slight sound from the side door, and then another person walked out. While going out, he was dancing and looking very loud. When he saw Xie Hong and Yongfu, the man was stunned and asked, "Hey? Brother, Yongfu, why are you two here?"
I'm going to ask you what you are asking here? You should have come out long ago. Xie Hong started to feel dizzy. He discovered that once things are related to Zhengde, they will often exceed their control, and often even beyond common sense.
"Second brother, why did you come out? What about Grand Secretary Xie?" Xie Hong was a little nervous. It was okay to scare Xie Qian. If he was scared to death, it would be a big deal. He was not respecting the elderly and loving the young, but the other party's identity was there, and it was not a fun thing to die a Grand Secretary.
"Oh, I've already sent him back to the house... Not to mention this, brother, this little black room is too exciting, but what I saw when I went in was the same. Are there any new tricks?" Zhengde shook his head, and he was not interested in Xie Qian's affairs at all. Instead, he happily commented on Xie Hong's latest work.
"Twice...so fast?" Xie Hong was speechless. This little guy's legs are so fast, and his speed of getting tired of the old is well-deserved. "There are 50 kinds of ghosts in total, and they can make many combinations. Second brother, if you are interested, you might as well go and play again, right?"
I don’t know if I saw that my brother was too shy or something. When Xie Hong talked to Zhengde, Yongfu still didn’t let go and stopped crying. However, his little face was buried in Xie Hong’s arms, which made Xie Hong very embarrassed, so he planned to send Zhengde away first.
As for the future, well, maybe my second brother didn’t notice what the situation is now, after all, his mind is all in the small dark room, right?
"So many?" Zhengde exclaimed, then thought for a while and said, "I only saw fifteen types just now, that is, there are still thirty-five types that I haven't seen? Well, I must see them all these two days. But..." He changed his tone and asked in a narrow voice: "Brother, what are you doing with Yongfu? Are you two hot?"
Hum, Xie Hong found that he was being fooled. The expression on Zhengde's face was the same as those friends who talked about ambiguous topics in later generations, but... Cough cough, second brother, you have to figure out whether the person in my arms is your sister, okay? The elder brother is like a father, are you more mature?
"Brother, Yongfu takes his leave..." After Zhengde said this, the little princess seemed to have suddenly woken up, and suddenly let go and took two steps back. She first blushed and saluted Zhengde, then turned to Xie Hong and whispered: "Sir Xie, Yongfu is very happy today, thank you..." The little princess's voice was like a mosquito, and after that, she ran away without looking back.
"Your Highness..." Seeing that the palace maids also chased after him, Xie Hong was a little anxious. The ban was not done yet! And what are you happy about today? He was filled with sympathy for a group of zombie skeletons, and then was scared to tears by the caterpillars... This experience was very pleasant? The outrageous emperor's sister was indeed even more bizarre!
"Brother, do you like the Yongfu type?" Zhengde suddenly said again, Xie Hong almost flashed a flicker. Zhu Houzhao muttered loudly: "Even Yongfu, you can afford it. Brother, you are so powerful. Otherwise, I will turn around and talk to my mother to marry Yongfu to you? But in this way, you will become my brother-in-law, and the relationship seems a bit messy."
You're messing around! Xie Hong is crying but not crying. My brother must have plotted too much and was retribution. Otherwise, why are he so unlucky? Moreover, since he traveled through time, he has met two brothers and sisters. Every time he is misunderstood with his sister, why is his reaction so weird? Bah, my brother can't adjust it anymore...
"Actually, the princess just fell and just fell on me. My sister-in-law is helping her!" Xie Hong began to fool her, and she was very stunning to become Grand Secretary Xie: "Of course, this matter must be kept confidential. Second brother, you turn around and tell them, it's better to tell Yongfu, hey, second brother, listen to me and go in..."
Turning back embarrassedly, Xie Hong turned around, coughed twice, and said, "What's going on today..."
"We didn't see anything." After all, it was cultivated by the palace. Everyone was very professional and shook their heads together, and they were very uniform, just like the guard of honor in later generations.
After Xie Qian was carried away, the onlookers also followed him, some went to report the news, and some returned to their posts. At this time, the only people around Zhengde were still there.
"When the emperor comes out, tell him I will leave the palace first." When he glanced at me, he was relieved and explained that he was about to leave the palace. Since Xie Qian had been knocked down by the small black room, it was time to expand the results of the battle.
In addition, there are many things waiting for him to cook. Training is the most important thing, followed by the issue of pen, Xie Hong is bothered.
"Sir Xie, I will send you out." Adhering to the guiding ideology of getting up from wherever you fall, Liu Jin cherishes every opportunity that may flatter Xie Hong.
Unlike several cabinet ministers, Xie Hong usually does not walk through Chengtian Gate in a swagger. After construction begins, he enters and exits from Xi'an Gate. Xi'an Gate is on the west side of Xiyuan, and there are usually no people here, and Hei Damen or Jiang Bin also comes in and out with him, which can ensure safety.
"Sir Xie, the villain has something to report."
There were many surprises today. When people were usually sparsely populated Xi'an Gate, a person suddenly jumped out and showed up. Without saying a word, he lie on the ground and started shouting loudly. Xie Hong stopped slightly, and heard the man speak sharply, and then looked at his contempt, but he was a eunuch of no grade.
"What kind of thing are you? How dare you block Lord Xie's way? Don't you want to live anymore? Come and leave him for our family." Xie Hong was still looking at the person, but Liu Jin saw the person clearly, but his eyes changed and shouted with fingers.
"Slow down." Xie Hong reached out and stopped the guards beside him. Although he didn't know who he was, he seemed to know Liu Jin's face. Maybe he was a key figure if Liu Jin had such a big reaction.
The enemy may be his own person, so Xie Hong asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"Little man Xie Sang Er..." The man kowtowed and said.
When Xie Hong heard this, he was very happy. Today was so weird that he met another family.
"... The villain was forced to enter the palace last year. Before entering the palace, others called the villain's third and second brothers. After entering the palace, others called the villain's third and third brothers..." The eunuch conflated his blood and tears with tears in his mouth.
Xie Hong also secretly felt sad for him after hearing this. The gap between the third and second brother and the mistress was indeed a bit big. These people are too unprotective, so they call them "The Third Master".
"You said you were forced into the palace? But as far as I know, there is no such system in the palace at present?"
Except for children, eunuchs are usually voluntarily, and most of them are those who cannot live outside and then go to the palace to make a living. Xie Hong looked at this mistress, okay, the third father-in-law is in his thirties, obviously this is a bit untrue. It’s just that, he is not handsome and is still old, why do you have to arrest you as a castrator?
Therefore, Xie Hong's tone was also a bit stern. This guy was clearly here to act cute and pretend to be pitiful. However, I am not Yongfu and I will not sympathize with the random flood.
"It's just because the villain presented a book, and then..." The mistress's third father-in-law looked at Liu Jin timidly, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, "...I was castrated by the master Liu, the villain is wronged! The villain really doesn't want to enter the palace, he is forced."
Wow, Xie Hong was really surprised. He turned to look at Liu Jin. He was a little confused. He didn't hear that this dead eunuch still has this hobby? Do you want to catch middle-aged people and castrate them? The dead eunuch is indeed very perverted.
However, after listening to the third father-in-law's narration, the time he entered the palace seemed to be just as good as when he opened Houdefang last year and started a storytelling. Could it be that this person was still the secret weapon left by Liu Jin?
"I feel deeply sympathy for your experience, but... I can't help it now." Xie Hong spread his hands and said that he had no choice. Entering the palace to be a eunuch was an irreversible process. Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in the later generations of advanced medicine, there was no way to deal with this faita accompli.
"Sir, the villain is not here to complain, the villain is here to present a book."
Of course, this third father-in-law was the one who presented the book to Liu Jin, but the one who was castrated because of the title of the book was Xie Sanger.
Originally, Liu Jin planned to keep him and treat him as a secret weapon to deal with Xie Hong, but Xie Hong's update was too fast and storytelling became outdated soon, so the secret weapon was useless. Liu Jin simply sent him far away and let him fend for himself.
But the third father-in-law did not give up on himself. He was waiting for the opportunity. After seeing Xie Hong these days, he knew that the other party was the plague god Xie who was at the peak of his life in the capital. He realized that the opportunity had come! So the current scene came.
"Oh, I offer a book?" Even Xie Hong couldn't help but admire the persistence of this third father-in-law. He was castrated and he still worked hard to offer a book. This spirit is worthy of many people's imitation.
"That's right, sir, please read..." The third father-in-law took two steps and took out a stack of books from his arms. It was thick. Xie Hong glanced at it, afraid there were dozens of them.
"Cute Mother's Tomb Raiders' Chronicles?" He took it and just glanced at the cover. Xie Hong's eyes were a little straight. The title of this book is too weird, right? Mengniang, no wonder she was castrated by the dead eunuch? Aren't you pointing at the monk and scolding the bald?
"That's right, sir, the villain has seen it nearby these days..." The third old man quickly explained.
It turned out that as soon as Xie Hong started construction, he observed nearby. Although he had not entered, the ghosts and monsters were all delivered to the outside. He could guess more or less what the small dark room did, so the book Xie Hong saw was found.
"The writing style is still good, and the writing speed is also very fast..." The construction period of the small black room is very short, only a few days, but the book in hand has tens of thousands of words. Xie Hong thinks it is quite convincing, but...
"My mother-in-law, cute Journey to the West..." I'm sorry, why is this person so weird? She has such a name for all books, and the contents are almost the same. They are all stories about a man, a group of women, or female ghosts, and female fairies. Isn't this guy also traveling through time, right? Otherwise, why would he have such a quirk?
Xie Hong pondered, he happened to need a pen, the person in front of him had pretty good conditions, but this quirk was a bit bad, he looked okay, but people outside would definitely not accept it. Isn’t Xiao Saner’s *** a proof?
"Sir, if you don't like it, the villain can change it. The villain lives by writing, is full-time, and will be dominated by the readers' tastes." Seeing that he didn't speak, the third father-in-law was anxious. He didn't want to return to his previous life. It was so miserable to be a cow and a horse.
"Okay, Eunuch Liu, come back and tell the emperor that I will take this person to Houdefang." Xie Hong thought that he needed a pen on his left and right, and serious scholars could not surrender to him. This is also a killing of two birds with one stone. In addition to getting the pen, it can also be considered a loss of middle-aged man.
A pen is a small matter, training is a big matter, putting aside these trivial matters and concentrating on training is the right thing.
