Xia Houshu was busy integrating the clues, but he didn't realize that there were two more people in the tea seat next to him. One of the two men was wearing purple clothes, with a golden crown and hair, and his temperament was noble and cold; the other was wearing a simple and cool
Wearing a neat green shirt and holding a simple long sword, he carries a chilling air that prevents strangers from entering.
The two also ordered a pot of tea and sipped it absentmindedly.
"It's really a headache!" Xia Houshu rubbed his temples with his hands and frowned deeply. This matter was really messed up and messed up. If she had known it was so complicated, she shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and agreed to Sun Jiarou's request for nothing.
Adding trouble to yourself.
Thinking of this, she quickly looked outside the window to see if anyone sent by her mother was following her. Suddenly she noticed a scorching gaze staring at her. Xia Houshu looked up alertly, only to see a stern man sitting opposite.
The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment.
How small is this capital city to be able to encounter this?
Yun Xi took a sip of tea and looked up to see Xia Houshu staring at a certain place. He couldn't help but be curious, so he followed her gaze and saw a cold but disdainful face. He suddenly took a sip of tea.
It came out, impartially, and sprayed right on the side of the man in blue shirt's face.
Realizing that she had done something wrong, Yun Xi quickly put down her teacup, apologized hurriedly, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the face of the man in green shirt. Before her hand came close, the man in green shirt grabbed it, causing her great pain.
He shouted, causing the people next to him to cast surprised glances.
"Let go!" Upon seeing this, Xia Houshu quickly stood up and went to rescue him. The cold-faced man in green counterattacked, and the two of them exchanged several blows.
Not being able to take advantage of her skills, Xia Houshu looked at the man in purple angrily and said coldly: "She didn't mean it, don't go too far!"
The man in purple didn't even raise his eyelids, he just coughed lightly and waved his hand to signal the cold-faced god to stop. The cold-faced god in green shirt let Yun Xi go.
Yun Xi had never been offended like this before. Holding his swollen and red hand, he felt that his bones were about to break. He was so painful that he could only shed tears, his eyes watering like a bullied puppy.
Xia Houshu looked at Yun Xi's hand, feeling very distressed, and then looked at the cold-faced man in green sternly, knowing that he couldn't explain it to him, so he said to the man in purple: "What's wrong with you bullying a woman in broad daylight?"
?」
The man in purple didn't say anything, he just looked at Yun Xi, and then his eyes fell on the cold-faced man in green.
The cold-faced man in green clothes immediately put on a serious face, as if to say: Are you still embarrassed to ask?
Xia Houshu did not accept this trick, and said confidently: "This matter indeed happened because of my maid, but she has already apologized for her fault, but you are so unforgiving and even caused her injury, isn't it?
Do you have to apologize too?”
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi quickly pulled Xia Houshu and whispered, "Girl, forget it."
"Why forget it?" Xia Houshu was unconvinced. He thought that these two people in front of him were not good people. He had kindly saved them in Huguo Temple before and was injured. Instead of showing any concern or guilt, they also killed her.
Leaving a weak woman among the dead is simply not something a normal and conscientious person would do. And that time at Luoyuefang, they also entered her room indiscriminately and interrogated her. The waiter also
It is said that they may be relatives of the emperor. If his father and brother Zhengrong spent their lives protecting such relatives of the emperor, then God is really blind!
The more Xia Houshu thought about it, the more angry he became, so he continued to glare at the cold-faced man in Qingshan and said: "A man of seven feet, with such skills, why not go to defend the border and protect the peace of the people? Is it okay to argue with a little girl here?
What's your ability?"
"Girl..." Yun Xi tried to persuade her in a low voice again.
"Stop talking!" Xia Houshu pushed Yunxi down and sat down, signaling her not to talk too much. Then he walked over and put one foot on the stool where the cold-faced god in green clothes was, pointing at him very domineeringly.
The man in purple said: "If you have a good memory, you should still remember that you owe me a favor. Now, I want him to apologize to my maid!"
The man in purple curled his lips, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Xia Houshu, and asked nonchalantly: "Are you sure you want to exchange your favor for an apology?"
"You misunderstood me, no
You are using the favor you owe me in exchange for an apology!" Xia Houshu kindly corrected him, "The favor you owe me, my maid just sprayed tea in his face, even if she gets it back for me, it will be easier for you. And.
He now wants to apologize for hurting my maid!"
The man in purple twitched his lips as if he had heard a big joke, and continued to pick up the tea cup and take a sip as if nothing had happened, without saying a word.
Being so complacent clearly means you want to cheat.
Xia Houshu was completely irritated, and he was about to overturn the table, but was firmly held down by the cold-faced god in blue. She tried hard for a long time, but the table did not move at all. Obviously, the cold-faced god in green had the upper hand.
And his behavior looked very miserable.
Xia Houshu glanced at several onlookers from the corner of his eye, and suddenly realized that this scene was extremely embarrassing. Fortunately, Yunxi wisely held her back again, and earnestly persuaded her to stop worrying about it, and then she got down a step. But she still did not die.
With his heart in his heart, he swept the tea set on the small square table to the ground. The cracked white porcelain teapot broke into several pieces and the tea splashed all over the floor.
The man in purple had no intention of continuing to drink tea at this moment, but he still said nothing. He gently put down the tea cup in his hand, put a bunch of copper coins in his hand, and quickly got up and walked out.
The cold-faced men in green shirts followed closely behind, showing no signs of apologizing, as if they were the scoundrels.
"Stop!" Xia Houshu followed quickly, unconvinced.
These two people made it difficult for her to get off the stage in front of so many people, and she lost all face. She could never let it go. But she also knew that she couldn't beat Qing Shi's cold expression, and there were people coming and going here, and she was dressed in women's clothing.
, it was inevitable that she would be recognized when she met an acquaintance, and if the news reached her father's ears, she would have a hard time. So, when the man in purple really stopped, she only said: "You owe me no favors."
Forget it, just leave a name!"
The man in purple turned around slightly when he heard the words, suddenly smiled and said: "Qinan."
Xia Houshu was still immersed in the smile of the man in purple, but the man in purple who called himself Qinan had disappeared from the end of her sight. She silently recited the name "Qinan" twice in her heart, and she always felt that it sounded familiar, but it seemed that
Haven't heard of it.
Yun Xi also chased him out, looking very worried.
Letting them go for the time being, Xia Houshu comforted himself. Then he carefully looked at Yun Xi's slender wrists. The cold-faced expression in Qing Shi's clothes also became stronger. After a while, Yun Xi's wrists were bruised. She felt angry and angry.
He hated it, so he said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let him pay back double the amount next time!"
"No need, girl!" Yun Xi was moved and worried at the same time, and kept trying to excuse others, "It was my fault in the first place, so I don't blame him for being so harsh."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You've been hurt like this by him and you still speak for him!" Xia Houshu hated the iron, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong, so he asked, "How can you spit tea in someone's face when you are so good?"
"Then..." Yun Xi lowered his head in shame, "That's not because of you, girl..."
"Because of me?" Xia Houshu couldn't imagine what this had to do with him.
Yun Xi nodded cautiously and said with a blush, "I have never seen a girl stare at a man so absorbedly, and I saw that the man was pretty good-looking, so..."
So you can’t help but spit tea on others?
Xia Houshu looked at Yun Xi with a look of disbelief on his face, poked her little head and said, "Are you okay? What do you mean by looking at a man in a trance? I was just surprised, okay?"
Yun Xi quickly grabbed her hand and signaled that there were still people watching.
"Forget it." Xia Houshu waved his hand and said, "That's it for today. Let's go back first. Your hand is swollen like a pig's trotter. I think you should go back and apply ice first."
Yun Xi didn't refute, but laughed stupidly.
Xia Houshu was so angry that he rolled his eyes and cursed: "What a silly girl! Don't get excited next time something like this happens again. What's the point of getting excited? In the end, you won't have to suffer the loss and have to take it to your stomach."
swallow?"
Yunxi looked confused and answered "Yes, yes, yes" with a smile.
After Xia Houshu came to the door in person with generous gifts, Sun Jiarou's spirits seemed to be much better. She no longer had trouble with her family every day, and she ate well every day.
She changed her dressing frequently and took good care of her injuries. Mrs. Liu attributed her transformation to Xia Houshu's enlightenment and was extremely grateful. The Sun family was a very polite family, so the next day she sent someone to send a thank you gift to the Duke of Yue's mansion.
Zhong Yuqing was very satisfied with her daughter's behavior and encouraged Xia Houshu to walk around more with girls of the same age and learn the etiquette and human relations of ladies.
Xia Houshu obeyed his mother's orders, so he told Zhong Yuqing for several days that Sun Jiarou had fallen and injured her leg, and that he was going to the Sun Mansion to accompany her. As soon as she left the house, she turned around and entered the private dining room in the teahouse that she had reserved in advance.
Put on the men's clothing that is ready.
Although she promised Xia Houyi not to act as Mo Zhen, she still had to take risks in order to hide her identity from others, and she planned to go deep into the tiger's den this time and directly ask Yingyue, the oiran. For this reason, she specially gave herself and Yunxi both
Wearing fake beards, the two of them laughed so hard when they looked at each other's ugly appearance.
The two masters and servants pretended to be men and stayed in Shuyu Pavilion for several days, mingling among all kinds of love-struck prostitutes. Looking at the charming singers and dancers, they gradually felt that there was something different about them, and even began to doubt themselves.
The charm of being a woman.
They lived a life full of love and pleasure, but they did not forget the purpose of coming here. It was just that the Yingyue girl was an courtesan and had a constant stream of patrons. They had been thinking about it for several days but could not find a chance to get close to her.
As a last resort, Xia Houshu had no choice but to spend more money and beg Aunt Lu for a while before he was reluctantly arranged to meet Yingyue.
Yunxi followed Xia Houshu in Shuyu Pavilion for a few days. From being frightened at the beginning to slowly accepting it, Yunxi has now completely integrated into it and is even a little envious. She has expressed her admiration for those women in Xia Houshu's ears countless times.
Beautiful makeup and love for serving. However, when it came to asking her to pretend to be Sun Jiarou, she still gave up in her heart.
As the maid leading the way went to Yingyue's room, Xia Houshu reminded her in a low voice with a straight face: "You have met Sun Jiarou several times. You basically know her things, and you have generally learned some of her manners and movements.
, be sure not to reveal your secret later, or I will deduct three months of your monthly payment."
Yun Xi was already a little nervous, but after hearing this, he became even more flustered. He quickly grabbed Xia Houshu's hand and begged, "I have no merit but hard work, and I don't want to bully others like this."
Xia Houshu sneered: "I see you've been having a lot of fun these days, and you've spent a lot of money. All you have to do is get married to those oiran ladies. Where did you suffer?"
Yun Xi pursed her lips, and felt a cry in her heart. This chapter has been completed!
