Chapter 523 ‘I Can Help You Find It’ [Thank You! Goodbye! 44K More to Go]
"Uh-huh!"
Xu Zaijing nodded and continued walking forward.
"Hey! Brother Jing, what do you mean by that expression! I'm not leaving, just listen to me!"
In Gu Tingye's voice,
Everyone stepped out of the yard together,
evening,
In the somewhat dark sky,
Lanterns had been hung on the carriage they were riding in. After saying goodbye to each other at the gate of the Sheng family, they went home.
Time flies,
A few more days,
It’s already the middle of the twelfth lunar month,
The Spring Festival is getting closer,
The festival atmosphere in Bianjing is getting stronger and stronger.
In the sunny part of the city, most of the snowflakes that fell a few days ago, on the night Xu Zaijing and others returned to Beijing, have melted.
Not at the right time (2 p.m.)
Under the blue sky, the sun is bright.
Jiying Lane,
Outside the Sheng family gate,
From time to time there are vendors and ordinary people walking on the street breathing white air.
Beside the gate, in a place facing the sun and sheltered from the wind, the steward of the Sheng family's concierge was wearing ear protection and basking in the sun.
When seeing familiar people on the street, the steward will put his hands in his hands and say hello.
Inside the gate of Shengjia,
In the school,
The clay pot on the small charcoal stove was steaming white.
Zhuang Xuegui sat in front of the screen,
He was stroking his beard with one hand and holding a book in the other while talking.
Xu Zaijing, Chang Bai, Gu Tingye and others were writing something on the paper in front of them with smiles on their faces.
"Okay, just these questions!"
Zhuang Xuexue said in a deep voice.
"ah?"
Chang Feng, who was sitting at the back, stopped smiling and asked doubtfully: "Pedant, what about the schoolwork after the holiday this year?"
"Changfeng!"
Gu Tingye, who was sitting in front of Xu Zaijing, quickly turned around and winked at Chang Feng.
If you can have less homework during the holidays, that is a good thing that you cannot ask for!
Chang Feng also reacted and quickly covered his mouth.
Zhuang Xuexue in front didn't take it seriously, put down the book in his hand, replaced it with a folding fan, and said:
"Nowadays, you don't know about children anymore!"
"Speaking of these assignments, you can complete them in three days! Doing one article with your heart is more effective than doing three in a hurry!"
"Yes, scholar!" Everyone bowed and said.
"Yeah!" Xuexue Zhuang nodded, stood up from behind the desk and said, "Okay, let's disperse!"
"Thank you for your teachings!"
"Okay, okay!"
As Xuexue Zhuang spoke, he quickly put on his ear protection, put on his cloak and walked out of the school.
As soon as the scholar left, the school instantly became noisy, including the strange howls of Gu Tingye and Chang Feng.
After some fun,
Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing behind him and said, "Wu Lang, it's still early for school to end today. Why don't we find a restaurant for a banquet?"
Listening to Gu Tingye's words, Chang Feng behind Qi Heng looked around with wide eyes, and said with obvious interest: "Brother Gu Er, Brother Xu Wu, where are we going? Fan Lou or Pan Lou? Hehe!"
Qi Heng, who was in front of Chang Feng, turned around from his left side, glanced at Ming Lan who was lowering his head and packing things with Xiao Tao, and said:
"Why don't we go to Yang Tower in the west of Huihe Square!"
"I heard from my mother that Concubine Rong served some new dishes from Yang Loujin in the past two days. Your Majesty and your empress tasted them and they felt very good!"
Gu Tingye's eyes lit up and he said, "Huihe Fangxi? Isn't it not far from Guangfu Fang? Just in time, we can also take a look at Brother Jing's house!"
As soon as these words came out,
Chang Feng and Qi Heng nodded repeatedly and looked at Xu Zaijing.
Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "The house has been rented out, and now we can't go in at will!"
"Which company rented it?"
Gu Tingye said doubtfully.
"It is said that an official from Cangzhou rented it from Mrs. Chai's family."
"A couple of days ago, someone came to ask me whether the repairs on the house could be more extensive!"
After Xu Zaijing finished speaking, Gu Tingye answered: "Brother Jing, since it is going to be renovated, no one will live in it! Why don't we tell Mrs. Chai's family and stop by to take a look?"
Chang Feng nodded repeatedly: "Brother Gu is right!"
Xu Zaijing pondered for a moment: "If Mrs. Chai agrees, then let's go to the yard first while the sky is bright. If there is any inconvenience, we will go to Yang Tower. It just so happens that we won't delay anything!"
"Yes!" Qi Heng said.
Xu Zaijing looked at Gu Tingye, then raised his chin forward: "Chang Bai, I'll leave it to you!"
Chai family,
Back to the snowy courtyard,
In the study,
Chai Zhengzheng, who was looking at a drawing in the sunshine, put down the drawing in his hand and said with a surprised look on his face: "What did you say?"
"Girl, Madam said that the Shengjia School will be on holiday today, and Xu Jiawulang and his classmates will go to Guangfufang's house to visit later."
"oh!"
Nodding his head, Chai Zhengzheng looked around and prepared to wear clothes.
"Yunmu you"
"Girl, Madam also said that the one who came to report was Qingyun, who is close to Xu Jiawulang, and the brothers who said they were going were following Qingyun! After getting the permission, they are probably almost at the house at this time!"
"It's not appropriate for us to go to Guangfufang at this time."
Chai Zhengzheng nodded with some waning interest and sat back in the chair. Just when he was about to continue looking at the drawings, Yun Mu said:
"But, Madam said that she would like to try some of Yang Lou's new delicacies. If you are free, you might be able to go to Yang Lou for Madam!"
"Um?"
Chai Zhengzheng looked at Yunmu doubtfully.
"Going to Yanglou for delicious food? Who can't go?"
Looking at Yun Mu’s appearance,
Chai Zhengzheng rolled his eyes.
"Teng!"
After standing up from the chair again, Chai Zhengzheng walked briskly toward the dressing room.
After a while,
Yun Mu's voice came from the dressing room: "Girl, if you dress up like this, it might be dark even in Yang Lou Tian!"
"Well, come as fast as you want!"
"Mother can't be kept waiting too long!"
"Yes, girl!"
With that said, Chai Zhengzheng's personal maids Fu Yi and Zi Teng hurried over to help.
Looking at the face of the female servant with curved eyes reflected in the extremely smooth bronze mirror, Chai Zhengzheng tried his best to keep a straight face and said:
"Don't laugh!"
The three female envoys pursed their lips and looked at each other: "It's a girl!"
The sun sets,
dim light
In front of the very spacious Yanglou gate of the main store,
The tea and wine doctors are busy welcoming and sending off,
Several carriages came slowly from the east.
Looking at the luxurious carriage with a wooden sign with the word "Qi" at the head,
The maid in front of a tall carriage with exquisite materials, dark colors and a very low profile whispered a few words against the carriage.
After more than ten breaths,
When the Qi family's carriage drove to the door,
The curtain of the tall carriage was opened, and Wisteria stepped out.
Zi Teng looked at Qi Heng in front of him who was also exiting the carriage, then walked a few steps, bowed and said, "I have met the young master!"
Qi Heng, who was riding a horse stool, looked at the female envoy beside the carriage and recognized it as soon as he turned his eyes. He smiled and said, "You are the female envoy next to my cousin from the Chai family! Why are you here?"
Zi Teng smiled: "Back to my young master, my wife wants to eat Yang Lou's delicacies today, so I will accompany my girl here to bring one back!"
"Oh? Cousin, is she here too?" Qi Heng said and looked at the Chai family carriage.
Seeing the curtains of the carriage being opened and Chai Zhengzheng's face appearing in the window, Qi Heng quickly bowed his hands and said, "Cousin!"
Chai Zhengzheng nodded in greeting and said, "Brother Heng, what are you doing?"
As she said that, she looked towards the carriages behind where people were getting out.
Just took a look,
Chai Zhengzheng saw Xu Zaijing looking back.
This caught Chai Zhengzheng a little off guard. After instinctively being stunned, he wanted to lower his head and look elsewhere.
But before Chai Zhengzheng could make any move, he saw a smile on Xu Zaijing's face and smiled towards her.
Qi Heng, who was standing not far away, signaled to Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others, and said to Chai Zhengzheng: "Cousin, several classmates and I are coming to Yanglou today to try the famous dishes of the past two days!"
"Oh!" Chai Zhengzheng smiled and nodded: "Go! Have fun! When the food is ready, I will go back!"
"Yes, cousin!"
After Qi Heng bowed his hands and bowed, he turned around and looked at Xu Zaijing and others who were walking over while talking.
Whether it was Gu Tingye or Zai Zhang, they had all seen Chai Zhengzheng at celebrations or banquets.
When they meet at this time, they usually nod and say hello before entering Yang Tower.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Although Changbai Changfeng was not very familiar with him, he still bowed his hands and bowed.
Entering the Yang Building, Chang Feng, who was following Xu Zaijing and others, looked outside the door a few more times.
Looking at the carriage with the curtains still raised, and thinking about Chai Zhengzheng's face, Chang Feng said sincerely: "This sister from the Chai family really has a refined temperament."
Hearing this,
Gu Tingye on the side nodded repeatedly: "Of course! Speaking of which, my family and my maternal grandfather's family are luxurious enough! But, I heard my sister say before that there is no comparison between my maternal grandfather's family and the Chai family!"
"How can a daughter raised from such a wealthy family not have a refined temperament?"
Chang Feng said in surprise: "Brother Gu, your family can't compare? What you said is too exaggerated, right?"
Looking at Chang Feng who was speaking, Gu Tingye patted Qi Heng on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Ruo, tell Chang Feng whether I exaggerated."
Qi Heng smiled slightly and said: "Chang Feng, Second Uncle Gu did not exaggerate, but told the truth!"
After hearing this, Chang Feng looked back again,
Although he only saw the cotton curtain at the gate, Chang Feng still sighed: "God! I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry such a noble girl in the future!"
Qi Heng glanced at Xu Zaijing calmly and said nothing more!
At this time,
"Hey! I haven't come here very often. I didn't expect that Yang Tower is as magnificent as Fan Tower and Pan Tower!"
Chang Feng, who had an out-of-touch personality, looked around and said again.
Several people were walking towards the private room upstairs.
At the top of the stairs,
Xu Zaijing stayed behind, looked at the green grass following, and said:
"I remember the last time your brother Qingyun and I came to Yanglou. There are several dishes that your sister-in-law Huaqing likes to eat. You ask Qingyun which ones they are, and you can pick a few more and pack them back later. "
"Yes, sir!"
Qingcao smiled and bowed.
Entering the private room,
After ordering, Gu Tingye and Chang Feng, who had finally relaxed after going to school for many days, played leaf cards.
Xu Zaijing and Chang Bai stood in the corridor outside the private room.
at this time
The sun has just set,
The sky is still light blue,
The sky is only slightly darker,
From a high position, you can clearly see the faces of the people on the street.
"Goro, what do you think we should do with our academic studies? Isn't it a little lacking?"
Changbai asked.
Xu Zaijing breathed in the cold wind in the winter, shook his head and said: "Changbai, we should do our homework as academics say and strive for excellence!"
"If you think it's not enough, Changbai, you can do this question several times!"
Changbai's eyes lit up: "Hiss! Wulang, this makes sense!"
"Hahaha!" Xu Zaijing laughed and continued to look at the street downstairs.
Yanglou stood on the street,
Xu Zaijing and others' private room was in the east of the street, and going straight north below was the Anyuan Gate of the inner city.
People who entered Bianjing and the inner city from the northeast mostly took this road.
On the street downstairs,
Hearing Xu Zaijing's laughter on Yanglou next to the street,
The curtain on one of the carriages was lifted,
Someone looked upstairs,
and happened to meet Xu Zaijing's glance,
Looking at Xu Zaijing's somewhat surprised eyes,
the man in the car nodded slightly in greeting.
Upstairs,
Changbai looked at Xu Zaijing's expression and said, "Wulang, what's wrong?"
As he said that, Changbai looked downstairs, but saw nothing except passers-by and carriages.
Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "I seem to see an acquaintance."
"Oh!"
"Second brother, Brother Jing, come in, the dishes are about to be served!"
Chang Feng said to the two at the door.
When Xu Zaijing and others were having a feast,
In the southwest of the palace,
the Imperial City Prison,
Perhaps because the walls around the prison were extremely thick and could keep out the cold,
there were braziers and torches burning in the prison, and there were ground dragons in the important cells,
so, when you walk in from the cold outdoors, you can actually feel a lot of warmth in the prison.
Hearing the footsteps, the jailer of the Imperial City who was warming himself in front of the brazier turned his head,
after seeing the person clearly, the jailer immediately stood up, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed his hands: "Boss! Mr. Gao!"
When calling people, the jailer also looked at Zhao Meifeng with some curiosity, where there was a stranger standing side by side with Gao Yunqing with his face covered.
"Where is the spy from Northern Liao sent by Xu Jiawulang?"
"Master, he is in Room No. 2!"
"Take me there! I will send him the confession later!"
"Yes! Master!"
Then, with the sound of unlocking and closing the door, Zhao Meifeng and his three companions walked towards the depths of the prison.
Soon, the three stopped in front of a cell.
A jailer brought over tables, chairs and candles.
After sitting down, Zhao Meifeng said to the jailer: "No one is allowed to stay within 50 steps of this place."
"Yes, Master!"
While Zhao Meifeng was speaking,
In the clean and tidy cell,
the beautiful and coquettish spy from Northern Liao, who was caught by Xu Zaijing and others, curled up his legs and tried to hide himself in the darkness of the corner.
Amid the sound of flipping papers,
Zhao Meifeng's voice came slowly: "You said, do you know the details of the murder of the heir many years ago?"
"Yes"
A voice like a mosquito came.
"You are not very old, how do you know what happened so long ago? Are you making it up to save your life?"
After Zhao Meifeng finished speaking,
the Bei Liao spy in the cell twitched his legs, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"If you are not making it up, can you find the bones and ashes of the traitors that you found in the Imperial City Division many years ago?"
The Bei Liao spy continued to whisper.
"The ashes of those who committed heinous crimes have long been thrown into the cesspool and the stinking ditch. How can you find them?!"
"I, I can help you find one."
Hearing this,
Zhao Meifeng frowned and looked at Zhao Taifeng, who had been hiding beside him.
