Chapter 655 Half Day Leisure (Part [-])
Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle did not stay longer.

Xia Zhaoyi asked Wang Changqi to stay here and think about it, she will come again.

The jailer personally came to release the man, and before leaving, Zhi Changle was still looking fierce, no one dared to provoke him.Xia Zhaoyi turned back into a bad old man, with a stooped back and stooped figure.

Many people in the cage turned their heads to look at Wang Changqi curiously, but no one dared to speak to him.

Wang Changqi's face was a little numb. Hearing the sound of the prison door being locked, he felt that it was not real, but the heartbeat in his chest was very clear.

From the beginning to the end, the girl's tone was very gentle, not hurried or slow, even if she said threatening words before leaving, Wang Changqi didn't feel disgusted.

She seems to have a very strange attraction, which has nothing to do with her voice and appearance, but her words, deeds and temperament.

She possesses the elegance and arrogance of those gentry daughters, and at the same time has the willful and free and easy that they do not possess.

It's not just the comfort of money and love, but the naturalness of the world, the boldness and chic that can traverse the past and the present.

The more he thought about it, the more complicated Wang Changqi felt. In fact, he didn't get that far from him.

He sighed and raised his head against the wall.

It was obvious that he wanted to poach someone, but he turned out to be a good person, and he was going to be poached away with a shovel
The girl kept saying that he was good at eloquence, but the girl's ability to calculate people and her eloquence were clearly superior to him.

Moreover, she is still such a young girl, her future is uncertain and boundless.

Otherwise, did he really think about it?
·
The sun is still shining outside the prison.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his hands to cover his face, and looked up to watch a bird come and land on the nearest cornice.

The bird hopped, chirped lightly, flapped its wings, and flew away again.

Zhi Changle was talking to the jailer in the back, and he was able to get in today thanks to Zhi Changle's fist and the jailer's family.

Zhi Changle came back after finishing speaking, raised his head to follow Xia Zhaoyi's gaze, but there were too many birds, he didn't know which one she was looking at.

"I want to eat roasted bird meat." Zhi Changle said these words.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "If I have no choice, I actually don't like game."

Zhi Changle sighed softly: "Those refugees, I'm afraid they will eat up all the game."

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze, smiled at him and said, "The jailer, is everything settled?"

"Well, the man surnamed Wang will be released in half an hour, and the letter will be given to him."

"From this point of view, if everything goes well, then we can leave the day after tomorrow."

The extra day has to wait for the handover procedures of the store.

Zhi Changle nodded and said, "We've only been here not long ago, but it always feels like we've been here for a long time, a lot of things happened, and we're very busy."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, hunched over, hands behind his back, and walked forward in an old-fashioned way: "This is called enrichment."

If he didn't know who she was, Zhi Changle would really have thought that the person in front of him was an old man who had seen all the joys and sorrows in the world, just because of her walking style and old-fashioned way of speaking.

Ah Li, is she also addicted to drama?
Hey, cute!
Zhi Changle strode to follow: "Old man, I will help you!"

·
Not only Zhi Changle has such a busy feeling, but also the whole Hengxiang.

The news of Mr. Dahan's death blew up everyone's minds. Before everyone could recover, it was the assassination of Governor Huang. Fortunately, not long after, Captain Chou stepped forward to preside over the situation, and after that, the government sent a large number of soldiers Ma defends Dongping Academy.

Wave after wave, ups and downs, just half a day, like half a month.

Moreover, many people found that Captain Qiu was very good at being a man. He strictly forbade the officers and soldiers to go in and disturb him.

As for the vacated position of governor, it is a big drama that many forces hiding in the dark will compete for.

Xia Zhaoyi does not intend to participate in this drama.

While everyone was busy running around, digesting what happened in the past two days, Xia Zhaoyi took half a day off, sitting in front of the shop she just bought and watching two old men playing chess in the distance.

In the past half a day, many people have come to apply for the shopkeeper and assistant.

Xia Zhaoyi still looked like an old man, and after looking at them one by one, he couldn't find anything he was satisfied with.

On the contrary, some people came to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and made a few small businesses.

This morning, Lao Tong left from the main gate. In fact, he took a long detour. After getting rid of the people behind him, he went back to the inn to check out. He took all his bags and brought them here.

Although the shop is not big, it has three floors and a small backyard. The backyard is also not big, but it is just right for their carriage to park. Finally, they have their own space.

At this time, the two old chess players suddenly quarreled.

One of them made a wrong move and wanted to regret the move, while the other refused to say anything. The person who made the wrong move said that it was not a serious game of chess, and it was so serious to entertain in leisure time.

The two were not arguing fiercely, but they acted sincerely. They were arguing and arguing. Looking back, they waved at Xia Zhaoyi and asked Xia Zhaoyi to take charge of the situation.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't really want to move, but he still gave himself enough face and hunched over with his hands behind his back.

Because of her older appearance, the two old men called her "big brother". She waved her hands and said that she couldn't afford it. She lowered her eyes to look at the chess game, and glanced at a corner of the chess board inadvertently, and saw a carved plum blossom on it.

"This..." She stretched out her withered and old hand, caressing the plum blossoms on it, "This chessboard is really elegant."

"Just watch the chess game!" The old man slapped her hand off rudely, "This is a chess board passed down from my ancestors!"

"Heirloom," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Don't be surprised, it's really simple and exquisite."

"That's not it!" The old man felt a little complacent, and looked at his chessboard with appreciation, like a precious treasure.

"It's nothing valuable!" Another old man shouted, "This is a chessboard from Nianhuazhai. It's a hundred-year-old store, and it's for sale in the store!"

"That's not as old as my chessboard!" The old man said angrily, "My chessboard is at least 300 years old!"

"Are the chessboards sold in Nianhuazhai all carved with plum blossoms?" Xia Zhaoyi asked, "The plum blossoms are really beautiful."

"Some are plum blossoms, some are peach blossoms, bamboo, hanju, spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum!" said another old man.

She had seen this plum blossom in that book.

That book is called "Immortal City", with twelve chapters in total.

One of them was called "Yunmeng Yinsuo". The old Taoist priest who sold the book to her said that it was written by a master named Tang Xiangsi.

It could also be... the author of the poems she saw in Longyuan's His Highness Qianqiu.

In the article "Yunmeng Yinsuo", there is a hand-painted plum blossom, which is exactly the same shape as the one on the chessboard.

Thinking of the word "departed guest", Xia Zhaoyi always felt a chill run down his spine.

"Nianhuazhai," Xia Zhaoyi asked, "is it far from here?"
