The sunlight penetrated through the door, slanting in, and shone on the back of Yang Chaoxi's neck, giving it a somewhat burning feeling.
Perhaps it was due to the backlight, but the look of embarrassment on Yang Chaoxi's face was somewhat obscured by the halo. But suddenly, he was questioned by Tianji Protector Qin Xiangchu, and he didn't know how to answer.
After being stunned for a short time, Yang Zhaoxi came to his senses: He knew that Tan Xiangchu was being watched by everyone, and a misunderstanding had occurred in his mind. He thought that he had just secretly been intimate with Junior Sister Tan while there was no one in the middle courtyard, and deliberately left the head and tail behind, showing off his face.
Come to see him. That’s why he became so angry that he opened his mouth to question each other.
However, the lip mark on the left cheek was actually left by Xiaoman. He couldn't clear up the misunderstanding with Tan Xiangchu, so he told everything about Xiaoman. Xiaoman is a saint, who communicates with the god, enshrines the holy fire, protects the doctrine, and breaks the
A living totem of desperate love. If the believers knew about this, I'm afraid it would cause an uproar in Zoroastrianism.
In view of this, and because he could not think of a reasonable excuse, Yang Zhaoxi had no choice but to stand blankly in the hall like a wooden man made of clay.
Liu Xiaomu saw everyone's expressions of understanding and the atmosphere getting weird, then he coughed and laughed and said: "Tianji! You have all wrongly blamed Yang Shaoxia. The color of the lip marks is purple, with a hint of benzoin, which is only the custom of Lily Guard in the teaching.
That's what the lipstick used is like this. But recently, these Lily Guards have been acting a bit mischievously! Although I knew they liked handsome young men, I didn't expect them to dare to joke with Yang Shaoxia like this... If I find out which one it is, I will definitely
Punish without mercy.
As for your girl Qin, she is a monastic girl. She has never paid much attention to cosmetics and clothing. Recently, she has become unhappy. She does not apply makeup all day long and keeps her face bare. How can she follow the example of Baihewei and wear heavy makeup? As a father, beware of Yang Shaoxia.
That's fine, but how can you not trust your daughter's character?"
Tan Xiangchu suddenly looked embarrassed. He first hugged Yang Chaoxi as an apology. Then he folded his hands to make a flame and bowed to Liu Xiaomu: "Sage, please forgive me! Like lipstick, flower buds and other boudoir things, humble people rarely pay attention to them.
.Although the shops, restaurants, shops, and houses in the mansion are also handled by hands, they are all handed over to the shopkeepers below. I am really ignorant and ignorant, which makes the holy lady laugh!"
When everyone saw the two people answering each other, they already guessed what the Holy Aunt meant by "turning the matter into a trivial matter", and they all acted as if they suddenly realized it, and then revealed the matter.
On the other hand, Li Changyuan, who was sitting at the top, thought that his disciple was young and naughty and had started to hang out with Hu Ji. He suddenly showed a bit of displeasure: "Chong Lingzi! Young people have undecided blood and should be warned by lust. The teachings of Shangqing Guan
Masters of industry, haven’t I ever taught you? After these few days have passed, you can come to the East Palace to see me and receive your punishment!”
Yang Chaoxi couldn't laugh or cry, but couldn't think of a better way to tell the lie, so he had no choice but to surrender to the master, and then looked at Liu Xiaomu with mixed feelings. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaomu solved the problem for him, ignored him, and continued to ask the teacher.
The boss told me something else.
After Li Changyuan scolded him, his expression softened slightly, and then he changed the subject and got down to business: "Chong Lingzi, you two were captured this time. Taoist brother Gongsun and fellow Taoist Yuan Yizi both have trouble sleeping and eating. Although I saw you today,
There was a small injury, but nothing serious, so the teacher felt relieved.
Recently, Lord Xiao and I have been working hard to promote peace and talks. In the next two days, the place and time for Taiwei Palace to meet with the Zoroastrian Church will be finalized. If there is nothing important, you can
Just stay in this beggar gang and stop moving around and causing trouble."
Yang Zhaoxi knew that this meeting between the two parties was of great significance. Master Li Changyuan and Master Yin Xiao of Henan must have worked hard and spent many twists and turns before they finally convinced the two parties to sit down at the same table and negotiate. But he himself
Although the "middleman" can't influence anything, it is still a necessary part of the whole thing. Master warned me like this because he didn't want to be plotted by someone with ulterior motives anymore, adding another variable to the meeting that was finally facilitated.
It only took a few breaths to understand these joints. Yang Chaoxi immediately bowed his head respectfully: "Disciple, I sincerely follow Master's teachings."
Cui Mansion, Luxinfang, study room in the main hall.
The lantern tree slowly glowed, and the bright light shone through. Although it was already the third watch of the day, the study room felt like daylight.
Cui Luo was leaning in front of the desk, not sleepy at all, and was flipping through a newly delivered copy. After reading it carefully twice, his expression gradually relaxed, and there was a hint of amusement. However, he learned that Prime Minister Yuan Yuan
Several important matters that have been reported recently have been approved by the saint and have been copied to various provinces, prefectures, states and towns.
In addition, the recent marriage between the Cui family and the Yuan family has gradually spread in the court. Many colleagues who are higher in rank than him, when talking to him, their words are more polite. They feel more and more that they are gone.
A good move will lead to great success in the future. Taking further steps is almost something that can only be expected in a few days.
Suddenly, a burst of anxious footsteps passed through the main hall and stopped outside the study, disturbing the quiet spring night.
Cui Luo frowned slightly: "You came unannounced, why?"
The voice had long since lost its usual calmness: "Master of the family! The boy named Yang and the girl from the Qin family were... kidnapped more than two hours ago."
"What! Who was he kidnapped? Did he leave any clues?!" Cui Luo's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
"It should...it should be the work of the chainmail guards. A dozen brothers of the Shanling Guards were all drugged. They just woke up and hurried over to report. Before they were attacked, I remembered that two men were wearing chainmails and carrying slings on their shoulders.
The longbow mail guards were fighting with the brothers..." The visitor was still in a daze, as if recalling what happened not long ago, he felt like he was in a dream and could not distinguish the truth from the lies.
"Chain Guard..."
Cui Luo's face was as gloomy as water, but his eyes showed deep reluctance and fear. Soon he saw that the person who reported the news had misty eyes, as if the medicine had not worn off, so he said again,
"Cui Jiu, if you are addicted to smoke or something, you may not be able to wake up at this moment; and after you wake up from the drug, you don't look so drunk... Judging from your complexion, you seem to have been poisoned.
"
The person who came was none other than Cui Jiu. After hearing what the head of the house said, he felt a little strange: "The head of the house is wise! Looking back now, this drug is also weird. At that time, a group of dried flowers suddenly exploded in the air, and then filled with strange fragrance.
In the courtyard, someone immediately sprinkled a handful of spices. The servant felt his whole body go limp, as if he was just like before falling asleep every night, but it was extremely comfortable and comfortable. Finally, he felt that several large acupoints on his body had been hit by someone.
He is completely unconscious. But if it is poison, I have never heard of such strange poisons when I was still in the Tang Sect in the middle of Shu."
Cui Luo sighed: "Since they were kidnapped and Taiwei Palace took action, these two 'hot potatoes' should be given to Taiwei Palace. Anyway, Cui's purpose of catching this kid has been achieved. There is only one thing
, you must inform your fifth young master and the palace staff that you, the sixth young lady, must not know about this matter, lest she become delusional again."
"Master, Taiwei Palace took over by force and didn't take the Cui family seriously at all, so let's just let it go like this?!" Cui Jiu said angrily.
"Otherwise, what are you going to do? Go to Taiwei Palace to find Wang Jin and bring him back?"
Cui Luo sneered several times, but there was nothing he could do. Immediately, his thoughts changed, his face relaxed again, and then he said to Cui Jiu,
"If you are still angry, you can release the news early tomorrow morning, saying that Taiwei Palace has done all its evil work and has captured the Zoroastrian monster Yang Chaoxi and Qin Qing, the daughter of the Qin family. The remaining Zoroastrian evildoers in the city will be wiped out in a short time. By then, the barbarians will
Then we will no longer dare to hoard it and sell it maliciously, and everyone will be able to afford corn again."
Cui Jiu understood instantly: "The master's plan is so clever! It not only removes the Cui family from this matter, but also makes the people who are looking for it point their finger at Taiwei Palace."
Cui Luo sat down in front of the desk again and picked up a volume of books at random: "Especially those beggars who are so annoying! In just one day, they vomited up the door of my Cui Mansion. They said that if they don't see Yang Shaoxia today, tomorrow
I came here to pay my respects. Now let’s see if those dirty beggars dare to go to Taiwei Palace to cause trouble!”
The next morning, probably because of the news released by Cui Jiu, those stinky beggars did not come to Cui Mansion to cause trouble again.
It happened to be a day off for bathing, so Cui Lu got up quite late. He had just finished washing and dressing up when he saw Cui Da walking in from the outside. He bowed his hands and said, "Master! Tong Chunxi, the son of Yuan Yi, the master of Linji Temple, and Feng Yi
The two Taoist priests, Master Xueyi, are waiting in the shackles again today. They said that if they can’t see the master of the house, they will keep waiting. They also said that they would..."
"What else are you talking about?!" Seeing him hesitating, Cui Luo's voice suddenly dropped and his tone became much more serious.
"They also said that the sixth lady is a 'born Taoist', and the relationship between her and her master and disciple is not over yet. He wants to take the sixth lady back to Linji Temple for meditation, and no longer has to worry about the worldly affairs..." Cui Da took courage and finally whispered
Tong Chunxi repeated the original meaning.
"Fart!" Cui Luo slapped the wooden combs on several desks with his palm, his mirror jumped up, and he uttered a rare curse word, "No wonder Yuan Xiang and the others have always disliked the Taoist sect. They are indeed a group of people who pretend to be sophisticated and mislead their disciples."
!”
"Then... I will find an excuse and send them away!" Cui Dakong bowed and left.
"Come back!" Cui Luo called him, pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to call him to the main hall to talk! Dodging is not a long-term solution. Don't let people from outside the country say that our Cui family does not respect teachers."
After a cup of tea, Tong Chunxi and the others, guided by Cui Da, walked into the main hall. At one glance, they saw Cui Luo sitting on the main seat, but they made no intention of getting up to greet him.
Tong Chunxi was not worried, smiled lightly and said, "Junior Brother Cui, long time no see!"
