Manager Lian Er was finally moved by Mrs. Cao and sympathized with her difficulties. He began to spread rumors outside.
Cao Xiwan was very satisfied. After all, he had collected some of them, so he couldn't collect them in vain.
But Liancheng also hinted: "How could Madam Qing take these people seriously? Why would she test the Marquis again? What's not to be said about our friendship over the years?"
"?" She thought about it and hurriedly explained, "Shi Mingniang was careless and fell into my trap. I borrowed Biyingshuangtian, but I borrowed it from Su Jintian in front of the Marquis."
"You used Liu Shusheng to design it?"
"Yes. You also know that I don't like people wearing blue shirts the most." She sighed, accusing the neighbor's spy of being a pretty boy who likes to wear green shirts. This is not her problem at all. "I can't leave the house every day now."
, is this day so interesting? Am I sick, but I want to lie to Mr. Hou? "
Liancheng looked at her for a long time and nodded happily: "Okay. I believe it."
The implication is that the Marquis may not be as easy to talk to as Liancheng, so there is no doubt.
She blinked, understanding.
Fortunately, she didn't need to ask the Marquis to take care of Liancheng's affairs.
Within a few days, rumors abounded in Jinling City, and gradually they reached the Tang Palace.
But the Tang Palace knew it, and every government office in Jinling City knew about it. The spies were all undercurrents, not to mention the generals in the palaces of the powerful, and the ministers were all idlers, and they were talking about it.
It was Liu Ruhai. He met her at the door of his house in the morning, and even braved the wind and snow to ask her: "Mr. Yang sent a message to make an appointment with Su Jintian?"
"Yes." Uncharacteristically, she did not dislike Shusheng Liu, but sighed quietly, "I originally thought that Cuiping had regarded his reputation as the best swordsman in the world as nothing. I didn't expect that he would still look like this. Why bother to fight?
"
"..." Liu Ruhai looked at her with a compassionate look on her face, twirling the Liuli Shibazi in her hand. This look should have been secretly learned while sweeping the floor in Chengfu Temple, but it was clearly a sinister look that meant killing someone with a borrowed knife.
The version he heard was completely different.
This battle is not for the title of the best swordsman in the world.
"Yang Pingcui used to be an old friend of Chen Youliang. When he entered the capital, what happened to the Lanyu incident?"
Liu Ruhai smiled slowly.
She stopped, turned around, and looked at him. In the long alley behind the house, the fine morning snow was misty.
"Or, I heard that he is very familiar with the secret spy group in the Blue Jade Army - the Hundred Battles Blood Sword?" he asked.
"..."
She thought, that was indeed the case.
The leader of Bai Zhan Xue Dao is Zhan Bai Dao.
Yang Pingcui and Zhan Baidao were close friends for eight worships.
After so many years, it was the first time she heard this name from an unrelated person like Liu Ruhai.
A few years ago, Bai Zhan Xue Dao and the City Patrol Division Bai Beasts and Hundred Ghosts once fought to the death in the underground river of Jinling City.
The success of the king and the defeat of the bandits have nothing to do with grudges.
Her sword pierced Zhan Baidao's throat and threw his body into the street.
"Master Yang was invited by Zhan Baidao at that time?" Liu Ruhai's heart was like a mirror.
She felt as if she was at peace.
She smiled: "Maybe."
Yes. Zhan Bai Dao is here again.
This time, it was Yang Cuiping who came to explore the way again.
"I originally thought..." She sighed suddenly, raised her hand and gently picked up a few crystal snowflakes, just like before
When she first met Zhan Baidao by the Qinhuai River in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, she was so crystal clear and stunning.
She originally thought that Yang Cuiping would never dare to step into the capital again.
After all, he sneaked into Jinyiwei back then.
Transformed into one of the hundreds of beasts and ghosts in the city patrol department.
Because this incident caused Cao Xiwan to lose face, even the Marquis didn’t know that her Huaping Guicui’s mother,
He is the dignified Master Yang of Wanjian Sect.
"I didn't kill him."
"..." Liu Ruhai looked at her.
"I just stripped him naked and hung him up on the mountain to freeze for three days."
Asking him to dress up as a woman! Not only did she not notice, she actually often called him Sister Cui in Jinyi Yamen. Secretly
I secretly felt that the title of the best swordsman in the world should probably go to Cui's mother, not Su Jintian.
Even when her friend Su Jintian wanted to make an appointment with Mama Cui, she stepped in to stop her and told Su Jintian not to be jealous of her talented men. There was Cao Xiwan among the women, so why couldn’t there be Mama Cui, the master of swordsmanship?
Shi Mingniang is just obsessed with the love between husband and wife, and given time, she may not be as good as Daojun Fengling.
She also argued with Su Jintian in a arrogant manner, which resulted in a huge quarrel.
Later, when the incident happened, she wanted to get into the ground. From then on, she could not speak in front of Su Jintian.
Simply hateful!
I don't know how many Jin Yiwei were deceived in the city patrol department. Two uncles were jealous and secretly loved Mu Cui's mother. When they learned the truth, they all held grudges. She was not the only one who took action.
"I showed mercy in the past, and he must be grateful." With the wind blowing, she carefully asked Liu Ruhai, who was also a spy, "What do you think?"
Are you kidding me? It is the rule of the Jinyiwei to cut the grass and root out the roots. Although the City Patrol Division is not in charge of cruel places such as imperial prisons, they patrol the capital day and night, walking between life and death. The masters of the Jinyiwei are all in the City Patrol Division. Liu Ruhai looked at her in surprise, she
You actually care about such a trivial matter?
He thought deeply, and sure enough, Yang Cuiping was her number one favorite male, and it was not groundless.
She glanced at her door in the alley and sighed secretly.
Thanks to her preparation, her parents stayed in the Hou Mansion these days and did not go home.
Mother Cui—no, Master Yang must want to kill her whole family.
She was worried, regretting that the Marquis was focused on dealing with Lan Yu, and that Yang Cuiping's relatives were the hated elders in the palace.
Eunuch, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she was merciful. She also felt that she had the foresight not to leave the Hou Mansion with her parents after she resigned.
Thanks to her hesitation, she was not in a hurry to buy a house next to the Zhou family's new house. It was more convenient to hide in the Hou Mansion.
It turns out that Yang Cuiping is very narrow-minded. He will definitely come to her house. He is good-looking, why is he so small-minded?
Liu Ruhai was also preoccupied. The fake news that Li Shishan bought with twenty taels of silver was actually a third of the truth.
For a moment, he forgot that there was some ointment he had made in the medicine box, which he originally wanted to give to her to rub on her fingers.
Both of them were in a trance, and he and she entered through the corner door and entered the Hou Mansion.
The flowers were trampled to pieces and the wintersweet branches were broken. They both had their own thoughts. She looked sideways and saw him walking beside her, so she was not surprised.
Song Chengming came back from the court that day. He changed his clothes and warm shoes, took off his hat, and was relaxing in the study.
The second manager, Lian Er, begged the Marquis on her behalf to ask Mr. Liu, a famous female pulse doctor in recent times, to give her another diagnosis.
"What did Xiaowan say?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Song Chengming smiled and nodded.
Recently, he has become more and more suspicious that Cao Xiwan may not be a useless person.
"Is the Sixth Master going to the military camp again? Forget it, let Mr. Liu not be in a hurry to see the Sixth Master and come to the outer study."
"Yes, Mr. Marquis." Liancheng knew that this was to diagnose Cao Xiwan's pulse, so that Mr. Hou would not be suspicious. After all, Su Jintian was taking over her city patrol department at the moment. It was not good for Mr. Hou to worry.
In the plum forest, jade plum blossoms are in full bloom, and jade is carved from the snow.
Liu Ruhai went in first and looked at her with a smile before leaving, as if he was trying to figure out what she was thinking.
She pretended not to know.
Outside the corridor, she heard the second steward call out: "Ms. Cao, the Marquis is calling you."
"yes."
She entered the outer study room and saw the green cauldron burning incense and the Hami red money felt laid under the green cauldron. She walked around the felt and walked to the door of the inner room and saluted: "Master Hou."
"You should also meet Mr. Liu." Mr. Hou looked at her and saw that her expression was peaceful and showed no resentment. Song Chengming also smiled happily and said, "Xiao Wan, this is your old acquaintance. Is it okay?
Remember, you were only seven years old at that time." Song Chengming gestured.
She glanced at Liu Ruhai and said, "Remember."
The Marquis sighed and smiled: "When I saw Young Master Xiaoliu, I vaguely remembered that you are old acquaintances." After that, he stood up and said, "Xiaowan is not in good health, please take care of her."
Cao Xiwan and Manager Lian Er secretly exchanged glances. The Marquis agreed so readily. Apart from matters in the yamen, there was naturally another reason.
In addition to the second master, the sixth master, and even her, the marquis pulled her out as a cover-up.
The really sick people in the house are about to emerge.
She looked at the small kang in the east corner, where she used to sleep during night vigils.
Outside the window of the east gate, there is still a plum tree with its shadow on the dragon. It is the tallest plum tree in the house.
As long as she jumped to the treetop and the shadow of the shadow turned, she could stand on the eaves of the beast's spine above the main hall of the Marquis Mansion.
Under the moonlight, her flying fish patterns danced in the wind. She touched her fingers upwards, as if she could detect the light golden full moon in the sky. Looking down, she could see the courtyards of each room in the Hou Mansion.
It's a pity that this time, because she didn't take her old aunt's illness seriously, she didn't notice that the young master was sick.
