"This... I did it indeed." Shi Qian, the man on the drum, rubbed his hands. Facing the questions from Ximen Qing and Wu Song, he showed no regrets or embarrassment at all: "I met that guy on the road.
The more I looked at it, the weirder it became, so I couldn’t help but steal his baggage and look through it.”
"Why do you look strange?" Ximen Qing asked, "Is your voice high-pitched?"
"It's not just that." Shi Qian thought for a while: "The voice and behavior are very strange, it seems like..."
"Eunuchs. They must be eunuchs." Wu Song interrupted: "When I went to Tokyo Prefecture, I saw one or two in Taiwei Zhu's house. Now that I think about it, that guy just now was a eunuch."
"Is it really that Imperial City Secretary?" Ximen Qing rushed to Shi Qian and spread his hands: "Where are the things? Let's take a look."
Shi Qian touched his body for a long time before he embarrassedly took out the crumpled letter from his socks: "This, I can't read, so... I originally wanted to find a fortune teller to help me read it.
."
Ximen Qing took it over and took a look. The cover was only signed by the magistrate of Qinghe County. There was no name underneath, only a strange monogram with twisted words that looked like words but not words. The cover was painted and had not been opened.
Ximen Qing squeezed it with his hands. There was nothing inside, it seemed to be just a piece of paper.
"That's all?" Ximen Qing asked casually, which made Shi Qian blush a little.
Wu Song took a look at it and said strangely: "This kind of letter is usually tied with a ribbon, why isn't this one?"
Shi Qian coughed and lifted up his shirt: "Brothers, please close your eyes."
Ximen Qing and Wu Song took a look and saw that this guy had tied the silk belt directly on his waist. His taste was really... quite enchanting! He was worthy of being a flea on a drum!
"This...the trouser bag has been used for a long time, and it's a bit bad." Shi Qian's mustache twitched: "Seeing that the quality of this ribbon is good, let's take care of it first!"
Ximen Qing and Wu Song both burst out laughing. Ximen Qing asked the boy to go to a clothing store outside to buy a set of clothes for Shi Qian to change into. Shi Qian was a little reluctant to part with it.
"Third brother, this letter is to be sent to Zhu Zhi County. You'd better take off the green silk belt and tie it again." Ximen Qing shook his head after seeing it: "This green... is really not good.
It goes well with it.”
"Since there is nothing else, Wu Song will go back first." Wu Song stood up and said goodbye: "I'm afraid my sister-in-law is very worried when she sees that we haven't returned for a long time."
"Second brother is right." Ximen Qing thought for a while and then ordered: "After the first seven days, choose a day for the funeral. After all, he will not be laid to rest."
"Brother, don't worry, Wu Song will be spared."
At this point, the clouds in the sky have dispersed.
Ximen Qing was very satisfied with the result and ordered his servants to clean two houses and prepare them for Wu Song and Pan Jinlian to live in. Although Ximen Qing wanted to marry Pan Jinlian as soon as possible, he had to consider Wu Song's feelings first.
Speaking of which, Wu Song was also wandering the world alone, and it seemed that he had never solved his personal problems. It seemed that he had to rely on his enthusiastic elder brother to arrange such things.
Ximen Qing suddenly remembered that there were only three women among the one hundred and eight generals in Water Margin...
Completely unaware that Ximen Qing was thinking about being a matchmaker, Shi Qian tied up the letters again according to his memory and put them aside. He also came up with the idea of Ximen Qing's mutton-fat jade pendant, and shyly asked Ximen Qing for it.
Come here, I don't dare to touch it with my hands anymore, but I hold up the rope wearing the jade pendant and study it hard against the sun, trying to see something from it...
Ximen Qing was also very curious about this object. Shi Qian took it to study. Ximen Qing had no objection, but when facing the sun, it looked like an ordinary piece of mutton-fat white jade, which did not emit that strange light.
Shi Qian looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything. He gave it to Ximen Qing a little frustrated. Ximen Qing smiled proudly and hung it on his waist. Even Shi Qian couldn't do anything about it. It looked like who he really was with this thing.
I can't even get rid of it.
Now that the letter had been found, it was basically restored to its original state except for some wrinkles. Ximen Qing looked at the complicated knot and felt that he really couldn't do it himself.
Ximen Qing was about to go out and hand the letter to Zhu Zhixian. Later, after hearing the news, Xueer came over to check. When she heard about the sworn relationship between Ximen Qing and the three of them, Xueer was very happy: "Master, when will Sister Jinlian come to our house?"
?I see someone is cleaning the house, is it prepared for Sister Jinlian?"
"One room is for Wu Song and the other is for Liu Niang to live in." Ximen Qing smiled and looked at the little enchantress Xue'er: "But we have to wait until Wu Dalang's funeral."
"Ah, how long does it take?" Xue'er looked unhappy after hearing this, her little mouth curled up and Lao Gao said, "I still want to sleep with Sister Jin Lian."
"This..." Ximen Qing was ashamed when he heard this: "If you sleep with Jin Lian, how can I sleep..."
"Oh, is this sister-in-law?" Shi Qian jumped over to the drum without making any sound from his small body. The sudden sound almost scared Xue'er, especially Shi Qian's raised mustache.
A trembling one.
But then, Shi Qian conjured up an exquisite little windmill from nowhere, and handed it over in a flattering manner: "Sister-in-law, this little gadget is a meeting gift."
"Ah, this is so cute!" When Xue'er saw the little windmill, she didn't even bother to hide behind Ximen Qing. She grabbed it with her true colors revealed, and with a burst of laughter like a silver bell, she held up the little windmill.
The windmill ran towards the backyard.
"Master, this little windmill is so fun!"
Ximen Qing, whose face was full of dark lines, looked up and down at Shi Qian. Is this guy a robot cat with any door, or is he a hidden street magic master? There are a lot of bits and pieces hidden in this body. I don’t know next time.
What will be taken out?
"Master, I bought some clothes." Xiao Tianqing held a pile of clothes at the door and looked at Shi Qian with strange eyes.
"Okay, put it on the table!" Ximen Qing ordered: "Third brother, you choose it yourself. Change it inside and out."
After saying that, Ximen Qing took Xiao Tianqing to the door and closed the door. If the beauty changes clothes, there is still something to see. As for Shi Qian... forget it!
"Boom!"
"Ding dong!"
"Snapped!"
There were all kinds of strange noises coming from the house, which made Ximen Qing almost unable to help but want to see what Shi Qian was made of. Fortunately, Xiao Tianqing leaned under the door and looked at it for a while, exclaiming: "This man is so strange. There are actually things on his body."
There are so many messy things that a table of the Eight Immortals is filled..."
"Don't be too big or too small." Ximen Qing retorted out of curiosity: "I will call you Third Master from now on."
"Master, I heard that you and the tiger-fighting hero Wu Song became brothers." Tianqing got tired of watching it for a while, and came back to sit on the steps with his master: "I don't know if the young one can be a master..."
"You have to call him Second Master." Ximen Qing said strangely: "What kind of martial arts are you learning at such a young age? If you really want to learn it, I can teach you boxing and kicking, and you can practice for fun... Do you have a crush on some maid?
?”
"Not at all." Xiao Tianqing's white face turned red with shame, and she immediately said seriously: "All those master's kung fu are just tricks... I just want to learn some real kung fu from the second master, so that I can protect the master!"
If another Killer Bee or his like breaks in, I will punch and kick..."
"Oh?" Ximen Qing didn't care at all that he was called "Flower fists and embroidered legs". Instead, he looked at Xiao Tianqing with interest: "I didn't expect you to have such a desire to protect the Lord. Wait until one day I and I
Second brother, tell me, but not everyone is suitable for martial arts training. You need to have good physical fitness."
Xiao Tianqing stood up with a roar after hearing this, lifted up her sleeves and showed off her thin biceps, which made Ximen Qing laugh out loud.
At this time, the door opened, and Shi Qian came out happily wearing new clothes. Seeing where Xiao Tianqing was making gestures, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are too thin, why don't you learn the Kung Fu of lightness from me?"
."
"I don't want it." Xiao Tianqing didn't give any face and shook her head in refusal: "I want to learn martial arts from the tiger-fighting hero, not your sneaky Kung Fu."
Shi Qian didn't take it seriously, and joked with Xiao Tianqing for a while. Ximen Qing saw that the sun had turned west, chatted with Shi Qian for a few words, and then took the letter and prepared to hand it to Zhu Zhixian, which can be regarded as a call.
Got an errand.
As for where this letter came from...even if a servant of my family accidentally picked it up on the street, he couldn't hand it over to the newly sworn Master Shi.
When that "good friend" saw the letter in Ximen Qing's hand, his eyes almost fell out of his head. He had no intention of finding it. He came to Zhuzhi County to find it but he was just a dead horse and a living doctor. He didn't expect that Ximen
Qing found it so quickly and it was still "untouched".
"May I ask the name of this county captain?" After handing the letter to Zhu Zhixian, the "good friend" couldn't help but ask.
"This is my good brother Ximen." Zhu Zhixian saw how quickly Ximen Qing rescued him, and he was very happy: "The surname is Ximen, the single name is Qing, and the number is...
.Fubuki! A few days ago, we captured the lone thief Killer Bee who has been lurking in this county for many years!"
Ximen Qing listened to Zhu Zhixian's praise of him, and he also cooperated very well by posing in a chic pose, standing in the snow with his hands behind his back.
"Huh? You are Ximen Qing!" The surprise on the "brother's" face became thicker, and his voice became shriller: "How did you find this letter so quickly?"
"The law... should not be passed on lightly, the mountain people have their own tricks." Ximen Qing originally wanted to say that a servant picked it up, but wouldn't this... be too mysterious?
"No wonder my family has fallen in love with you!" The "brother" looked shocked: "With your talent, wouldn't it be unfair to be in Qinghe County!"
Ximen Qing smiled proudly and was about to change his look and say a few lines when suddenly a slightly angry scolding from Magistrate Zhu came from the side: "That's unreasonable!"
Ximen Qing looked in surprise and saw that Magistrate Zhu had a face full of shock, holding the letter paper in his hand tightly, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
