Chapter 29

After returning to Fusheng Pavilion that night, the weather had started to turn cold, and she also wrapped up a thick cloak.The verdant pines and cypresses of Fusheng Pavilion swayed recklessly in the bitter cold wind, making shrill and ear-piercing whistling sounds.There are a few clouds in the sky that seem to exist and not float there lightly. I don't know when there will be a heavy snowfall here.

Looking at the winter weather outside, Qi Ze couldn't help but sigh how time flies. It feels like she just finished her palace examination. Now she has been in the officialdom for nearly a year, and she has met many good friends, but at the same time, she is also a little unhappy things and some nasty people.

Just like the people staying in her Floating Life Pavilion right now.

The purple-clothed boy in front of him was lazily lying on her bed, looked at her and said, "When will you change the expression you look at me? Your defensive expression makes me want to beat someone up."

Qi Ze: "... You are getting more and more proficient in coming to my room now, and you are still lying on my little bed, and you really regard this place as your own home."

"Heh, if it was my family, no one would dare to look at me like this." Que Yu turned over comfortably, "However, you are really comfortable lying down like this."

"It just so happens that I have something to ask you." Qi Ze resisted wanting to upset him, and said as calmly as possible.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"About today's military registration, you were the one who called King Jin." Qi Ze thought that Murong Xiu should have a lot of things to do, so why would he be so idle to visit the Ministry of War? Even if he didn't go, she would still be able to handle Cui Guangzong's affairs solve.After thinking about it, Que Yu is the only one who can be so free and wants her to cooperate with Murong Xiu.

Que Yu turned his head and smiled faintly, noncommittal.Qi Ze never made a choice, so he helped to choose. "You don't need to thank me for what happened today, we should be good friends."

Qi Ze: "..." She should really thank him for letting her into a desperate situation with nowhere to go, all of this is thanks to him.

"Actually, Murong Xiu would have gone without me reminding him. But just in case, I sent someone to give a proper reminder at the right moment, but he went by himself when he didn't need it. So to be precise Murong Xiu went by himself, and I didn't call him." Que Yu said slowly.

So in the final analysis, Murong Xiu went by himself, and Que Yu was just a reminder?The devil believed his words.

However, Que Yu dared to call King Jin by his name directly, not only the King Jin but also the crown prince. It seemed that this Que Yu was really bold and reckless. It was different to have a father who was a Duke of the State, and he was arrogant enough.

"So what are you doing here today?"

"Come and see you." Que Yu raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of ambiguity in the air, and he said in a very serious manner.

Qi Ze: "...Can you get out?"

"Qi Ze, you really should change your attitude, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this." Que Yu said generously again: "However, for the sake of being friends with you, I can forgive you rude."

Although Que Yu is the only son of Lord Zhen Guo, his status is still far from that of the Crown Prince and King Jin.But relying on the meritorious deeds of Que Mu and his son, the crown prince and King Jin did not dare to speak nonsense in front of Que Yu, at least she had never seen it before.

However, this person's familiarity made her speechless, and they had only met a few times.Could it be that they became good friends just because they watched the erotic pictures together in Yijun Building?If that's the case, she'd rather they never met that day.

And he didn't know how ambiguous and daydreaming what he said was.Although she herself knew that she was a woman, outsiders didn't know, and neither did Que Yu himself.That's the two elders flirting here, no matter how I think about it, I feel a little chilled.

Is this how he usually talks to ordinary friends?If this is the case, it will have to make people think crooked.

Perhaps Qi Ze's expression was too obvious. When Que Yu turned over and saw her intriguing expression, his face was covered with black lines. After a long time, he said, "Qi Ze, what expression is that? Give me your expression." Take it back, I'm normal."

"Oh."

……

The matter of military registration seemed to be over like this. It came violently and suddenly, and went away in waves.Cui Guangzong was dismissed from Dali Temple. Changing his military status was not a trivial matter. His whole family was confiscated, and then he was exiled to the frontier and garrisoned the country with the frontier soldiers.

Although Cui Guangzong was punished, she still needs to be busy with the follow-up tasks.Cui Guangzong received a lot of bribes and signed many people into the military.Zheng Shen asked her to find out one by one, and cancel all these military registrations. This is a troublesome job, but there is no way, let her be unlucky!
But I should really thank Xu Siheng, on the day Cui Guangzong was interrogated in the Ministry of War.It was Xu Siheng who helped to find out the witnesses. It was not easy to find Zhang Yi who had an impression of Liu Xi.After catching Cui Guangzong and knowing that the prince might come, he asked Zhu Yu to go to the household department to find witnesses in advance.

Fortunately, Xu Siheng knew that things couldn't be so simple, and he had already helped to find witnesses at the Ministry of Households, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.

Although she has nowhere to go now, her life is still a bit gloomy.But you should still be happy when you should be happy. It is still very important to have a positive and optimistic attitude.

The affairs of the military registration are finally over, and all the people who used money to sign up for the military registration have been found out and destroyed, which exhausted Qi Ze.Fortunately, Xu Siheng saw that Qi Ze was so tired during this period, so he picked a relatively sunny and warm weather and said that he would be with Chu Kainan, and the three of them went out for a walk to relax.

When he arrived at the door of Xu's house, beside Xu Siheng was a cute and cute girl in a pink dress.When seeing Qi Ze, Xu Youyi lowered her head a little shyly.

"Master Qi, you're here." Seeing Qi Ze approaching, Xu Youyi walked up to Qi Ze's side and greeted him with small steps.

"Well, how is Youyi doing these few days?" Qi Ze asked, stroking Xu Youyi's head. Facing such a likable girl as Xu Youyi, Qi Ze usually likes her, let alone Xu Siheng's younger sister.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your concern. Youyi is doing well these few days." Seeing Qi Ze touching her head and calling her boudoir name, Xu Youyi replied happily.

Seeing such a warm and charming moment, Chu Kainan was not happy. "Hey, little girl. Didn't you see me? I'm also next to you, so why did you just say hello to Shaoyi and not me?" Good boy, he was still single, and Qi Ze started to have sex with women .

Seeing his younger sister, Xu Siheng was also a little helpless, and she didn't listen to her after talking to her several times, and she was always talking about what to cook for Qi Ze tomorrow.

Xu Youyi secretly made a face for Chu Kainan, and said to Xu Siheng: "Brother, can I go with you today?" Before Xu Siheng refused, he took Xu Siheng's arm and shook it back and forth, "Please , Good brother. The third son of Qi has finally been free for a while, and I want to go along with him. It's too boring to just stay in the mansion every day."

Xu Siheng could only support his forehead, "Okay, you go too. However, you can't run around, you can only follow us."

Hearing this, Xu Youyi smiled happily and said: "Okay, I will absolutely obey my brother and not run around."

Xu Siheng had nothing to do with his younger sister, so he could only take Xu Youyi into the carriage, and the few of them went to a place with better scenery on the outskirts of the capital.

Although it is autumn, the scenery here is still pleasant, the warm wind is blowing, and it doesn't feel cold when it blows on the body, and the whole person is warm.Qi Ze also took off his cloak, such a fine weather is really rare.

When Xu Youyi came here, she was completely liberated.He squatted down and was very curious about the flowers and plants on the ground, running around.For a while, I looked excitedly to the west, and then ran to the east to look excitedly.

Because Southern Chu culture is relatively open, men and women can walk together and talk to each other.Today is a day with good weather in autumn, so there are many men and women in love walking together hand in hand.So it's not surprising that Qi Ze and the others brought a girl with them.

Seeing Xu Youyi's happy appearance, the three of Qi Ze all laughed.

Xu Siheng sighed and said, "I knew she would run around here."

"It's okay, girls at this age are more lively and cheerful, it's good to go out for a walk once in a while." Qi Ze said with a smile.

Unlike her, she has already passed the age of being lively and active.Even if she wanted to be as innocent as Xu Youyi, she was not qualified.After all, her parents died young, and she has to live carefully in the huge Qi Mansion by herself, to prevent others from discovering her identity as a daughter.

In contrast, Xu Youyi is much happier.About her parents who love her dearly, and her elder brother who worries about her all the time.

If her parents hadn't died, she would be as innocent as Xu Youyi.It's a pity that people's wishes are always so unfulfilled in the world. The departure of her parents also took away her innocence. At that moment, she was doomed not to live like Xu Youyi's enviable life.

However, she's fine now.

Maybe it's the scenery here that makes people relax, and time passes quietly without knowing it.Xu Siheng and Chu Kainan went to the nearby pastry shop to buy some food.Qi Ze just lay down and took a nap, the warm sun made him feel lazy.

Qi Ze felt that the world was very quiet, and he didn't hear Xu Youyi's excited shouts, so he looked around curiously.He saw Xu Youyi squatting in a corner, looking at the beautifully blooming hosta flowers in the corner.Because there was a small flying insect on the branch and leaf next to it, the girl was so frightened that she dared not approach it.

Xu Youyi was looking at the delicate and delicate hosta flower, and wanted to reach out to pick one off, but she was afraid that the little flying insects on the green leaves would not dare to do it.

At this time, a slender and white hand picked off the hosta flower on the branch and handed it to the girl.The girl couldn't help but looked up, and saw a familiar delicate face.

"Master Qi." The girl couldn't help shouting.

"Here, didn't you always want it?" Qi Ze smiled.

"Yeah." Xu Youyi blushed and took the flowers.After that, when I saw a shop selling hairpin jewelry not far away, I wanted to go and have a look.

"Want to see it?" Qi Ze asked when he saw Xu Youyi looking at the shop not far away.

"Ah."

Seeing the girl nodding, Qi Ze took the girl's hand, "Then let's go!"

The man with an indifferent expression is holding the hand of the delicate and beautiful girl, and the man and woman who are in love next to him complement each other, as if they are really a couple of gods and gods.

Cang Zhu, who was on the carriage in the distance, was a little surprised when she saw Qi Ze holding the girl's hand and walking towards the jewelry store next to her, "Master, what are you doing to the jewelry store while holding Miss Xu's hand? Master won't like Miss Xu's." right?"

Zhu Yu next to him said calmly: "Whether the master likes Miss Xu's family or not, it seems to be none of our business."

"Why is it none of our business?" Cang Zhu's reaction was very excited, "It's so rare that someone as indifferent as Master finally thinks about it!"

"Is it rare?" Zhu Yu asked suspiciously, why didn't he feel anything.

"Yes, and I think there will be some drama this time. The master and Miss Xu's family are of the same family. They are both talented and beautiful. They are a match made in heaven!" Cang Zhu shouted, and she was better than the girl Xiangyu in Yijun Building.

Thinking of the last time I leaned on the Junlou, the master looked at the Xiangyu in it differently.He thought that the master was thinking about it, and finally knew to marry a wife.Although the other party is a prostitute, it can be regarded as a great improvement.Thinking of how the master ignored the woman before, and there was no servant girl who knew the cold and the hot in the yard, he was very anxious.

Unexpectedly, it was because of the Jin family's affairs that he treated Xiangyu like that, which made him regret for a long time.Now that the clouds finally see the sun, and the master is so gentle to Miss Xu, it means that they have hope for another mistress.Moreover, Miss Xu's personality is also very good, and she will be a good servant in the future.

"You'd better do your job well, and be careful that the master will punish you after hearing about it." Facing such Cang Zhu, Zhu Yu still calmly said.

"Tch, you didn't learn anything from the master, but you have learned ten percent of this indifference. The so-called men are not bad and women don't love, so be careful that you won't be able to marry a wife in the future." Cang Zhu looked at Zhu Yu and teased.

And Zhu Yu just glanced at Cang Zhu lightly, and didn't speak any more.

In fact, Cang Zhu really thought too much, Qi Ze just thought that Xu Youyi was pure and kind, and she was still a little girl, so he couldn't help but treat her better.After all, these days, there are really not many beautiful and innocent little girls like Xu Youyi among the aristocratic families.

She didn't have a beautiful childhood, so she wanted to give Xu Youyi a beautiful childhood full of longing.

When I got to the front of the shop, there were all kinds of jewelry on it, which was really dazzling.The proprietress is also a very enthusiastic person. When she saw Qi Ze holding her hand, Xu Youyi, who was blushing, thought they were a couple in love.

"Young man, are you here to pick out jewelry for the girl you love?"

"...You misunderstood, no, we are not..." After being told by the proprietress, Qi Ze panicked, and quickly glanced at the blushing Xu Youyi.

"Oh, I understand. When you were your age, my old man and I were very embarrassed. Later, we got used to living together, and felt nothing." The proprietress lowered her head and glanced at the girl, "This girl is really beautiful. Young man, you are lucky to find such a beautiful girl. If you get married in the future, you must treat her well. It is not easy for two people to live together."

After Xu Youyi heard it, her pretty face turned even redder.

"...Thank you." Qi Ze felt that it was useless for her to explain, so it was better not to bother about explaining.

"Choose what the little girl likes. Although it's not very expensive, I made it by myself. It's very light and compact. It's okay to buy and wear it." The proprietress looked at Xu Youyi with a smile.

Seeing that Qi Ze was also looking at her, Xu Youyi said very unnaturally: "Young Master Qi, choose for me."

Hearing this, Qi Ze had no choice but to look at the neatly placed jewelry on the table, which was dazzling.She has never spent much time on women's dressing, so she knows nothing about jewelry.It is really embarrassing for her to choose.

After watching for a long time, Qi Ze was not satisfied with any one, afraid that he would pick someone Xu Youyi didn't like.The proprietress didn't urge to hurry up, she still stood aside with a smile on her face, not feeling bored at all.

At this time, Qi Ze saw that among the row of jewelry, there was a hairpin engraved with jade hairpin flowers, which was extraordinarily elegant and beautiful, extraordinary and refined, and very eye-catching.Although the workmanship is a little rough, it is better than the pure and clean jade color, which is a little slender and very transparent.

Thinking of Xu Youyi's love for jade hairpin just now, he should like the hairpin engraved with jade hairpin, so he pointed to the hairpin and said, "Miss Boss, that's all."

"Okay, young man has really good eyesight. This is a new engraving of the jade hairpin I saw yesterday. I also found the jade on the mountain and found that it matches the jade hairpin very well, so I carved it out." The proprietress said While wrapping the hairpin, she handed it to Xu Youyi.

Xu Youyi touched the hairpin, his face was full of a smile of love, and he didn't return to his senses for a long time.

Seeing all this, Cang Zhu on the carriage firmly believed in the thoughts in his heart. "I'm right, I bought all the hairpins, so is it still far from getting married? I believe we will have another mistress in the near future."

"Could it be that master really likes Miss Xu's family?" Zhu Yu couldn't help asking after seeing it.

In Southern Chu, if a man gives a hairpin to a woman, it means that he shows his love for the woman, and if the woman accepts it, it means that she accepts the man's love, so the man can propose marriage to the woman.

"However, why do I feel that the master doesn't seem to know the meaning of giving hairpins." Zhu Yu said looking at Qi Ze's calm expression.

Under normal circumstances, men blushed when they gave hairpins to women. After all, if the woman accepted it, it meant that they could go further into marriage.So usually men are nervous at this time.

After Cang Zhu heard it, she also took a closer look. Why did she not feel nervous at all, as if she really didn't know.But he still said: "Maybe the master knows, don't forget that the master has always shown his emotions and anger, and besides, how can a man not even know this."

Zhu Yu also nodded in agreement after hearing this.

But Qi Ze is not a man, so he really doesn't know.Thinking about it many years later, she regretted it very much.She just wanted Xu Youyi to have a good childhood, but she never thought that Xu Youyi's misfortune in his life was caused by her alone.If she didn't buy this hairpin, Xu Youyi might be able to live a better life.

Xu Youyi kept staring blankly at the hairpin in her hand, and didn't come back to her senses until the man's warm palm held her.

The girl looked up and saw two men not far away, both holding several packs of snacks in their hands. "elder brother."

After Qi Ze saw it, he also let go.After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a man, and holding hands with Xu Youyi will only ruin her reputation.

Xu Siheng and Chu Kainan walked over, and Xu Youyi also carefully put the hairpin in his pocket.

Xu Siheng handed the osmanthus cake in his hand to Qi Ze and Xu Youyi.

The girl picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, took a bite, and said, "The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers used in this sweet-scented osmanthus cake are not fresh anymore, and they are not as delicious as the ones I made."

Watching Qi Ze eat sweet-scented osmanthus crisps, he thought that Qi Ze liked them, so he asked, "Master Qi likes sweet-scented osmanthus crisps?" Qi Ze never told her what he liked to eat, nor did he tell her what she could cook. Which one is not delicious, so she can only observe and guess by herself.

Qi Ze nodded as he ate.It doesn't matter what she eats, and she doesn't have anything in particular she likes to eat.And basically all the things Xu Youyi made were given to Jiang Lu, she had never tasted a single bite.But I'm embarrassed to say, after all, it's the girl's wish, so I can only nod.

But Xu Youyi was particularly concerned about this casual nodding, and said happily: "Then I will make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for Mr. Qi every day. Although the weather is cold and there are not so many fresh sweet-scented osmanthus, I opened a greenhouse in the mansion. Just plant sweet-scented osmanthus inside, and there will be fresh sweet-scented osmanthus every day."

After hearing this, Chu Kainan shook his head, sighed and patted Qi Ze's shoulder.Alas, whenever there will be a woman who can grow flowers for him and make some food for him, Qi Ze is lucky.

Xu Siheng just helped his forehead helplessly, he really couldn't control his own sister.

Watching the sun go downhill day by day, the sunset and dusk, the wind is also mixed with a little bit of coolness, not as warm as before.Several people also boarded the carriage and returned home.
