Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 25 Gu Master
Hinting that Jiangchen Qihou's mansion has a lot of fruits and all kinds of delicious pastries, Xie Jinghuai welcomes Commander Jiang to come to the Marquis' mansion at any time.

Jiang Chenqi smiled at the generous Xie Jinghuai, and said cheekily: "Can I bring some fruits back, I want Master to taste it, the fruits here are fresher than those sold in the store."

It's not bad to buy a few catties of fruit, but the bad thing is to buy fresh fruit channels, Jiang Chenqi has no way to transport fresh fruit from the south to the capital.

It was necessary to curry favor with the master recognized by Commander Jiang, Xie Jinghuai ordered Lin Jiao to prepare some fruit, picked up the fruit and stuffed it into the hands of Yue Xuan and Lin Yuan.

"You two are welcome when you come to the Hou's Mansion. I am not a stingy person. You should also try the fresh fruits of the South."

Jiang Chenqi nodded slightly to the two of them, it was a pity not to eat the fruit that was delivered to them, but it was not often for them to eat the fruit that Lord Hou was used to eating.

Qu Yibie, who often eats southern fruits at home, seemed to think of something when he saw Commander Jiang's actions, and said in confusion: "Commander Jiang, you are a big celebrity around the emperor. Doesn't the emperor reward you with fresh fruits? The whole capital counts fresh fruits in the palace." most."

The fruit is big and delicious, and was presented to the emperor by southern officials.The emperor rewarded officials with fresh fruits, representing the emperor's gift.

As if she had never eaten the fruit of Shen Yanshang, Jiang Chenqi replied indifferently: "I am not a celebrity, but I am a pitiful person in the imperial court, and I am not treated as well as the concubines in the palace. The emperor likes to talk about the future , Said that after the country is stable, give me a title, let me be the most honorable person in the harem, and I haven't seen a catty of fruit."

The emperor is really stingy, why didn't he even give Jiang Chenqi the fruit, Qu Yidon't fight for Jiang Chenqi.

Xie Jinghuai felt that Jiang Chenqi was stupid. In the past, she obeyed Shen Yan's words and became a treacherous minister that everyone hated.

"Commander Jiang wants to eat the fruit, just come to the Hou's Mansion. The Hou's Mansion can't finish the fruit, so there is no need to long for the fruit rewarded by the emperor."

Compared with the stingy Shen Yan, Lord Hou is really a generous person, and Jiang Chenqi is willing to be friends with the generous Ming Yinghou.

Leaving Hou Mansion an hour later, Jiang Chenqi carried a basket of fresh fruits in her hand, and brought them back to her master to eat.

Baiwei ate the fruit and praised the deliciousness of the fresh fruit in Houfu, "At this time in the south, the fruit trees on the mountain are full of fruits, and the fruit trees that are tended by someone can bear sweet fruits. When I traveled in the south, it was no problem to eat the fruit as a meal. Ueno berries can be found everywhere."

The simplicity of the cottagers in southern Xinjiang left a deep impression on Baiwei.The mountain people live a simple life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, with emotions written on their faces.

Having never been to Southern Xinjiang, Jiang Chenqi heard that the people there are stubborn and uncivilized, but she knows the different and beautiful Southern Xinjiang from her master.

Lin Yuan was full of curiosity about the mysterious southern border, and asked about Gu worms, "When I was handling a case, I met a person who was infected by a voodoo, and the other person's temperament changed drastically, and his face became grim. Does Senior Baiwei know what's going on with the worms?"

Jiang Chenqi, who was interested in Gu worms, pricked up her ears to listen carefully.Curious about what Gu worms are and why they can control people's minds.

If Gu worms are just worms, Jiang Chenqi couldn't figure out how to cooperate with the person who cast the Gu.

Yue Xuan didn't speak, but looked at Baiwei, obviously he was also curious about Gu worms.

Facing the three young people who were full of curiosity, Baiwei took his time to eat the fruit, and said slowly: "Gu insects are a kind of mysterious insects, it is not easy to cultivate Gu insects, not everyone can become a Gu master. Gu masters attach great importance to Gu worms, and will not let outsiders see Gu worms, and my Gu master friends in southern Xinjiang do not want me to see his precious Gu worms."

The master's answer seemed to be silent, Jiang Chenqi sighed helplessly, it seemed that she had no chance to know more about Gu worms.

Knowing that Baiwei has traveled far and wide, Lin Yuan curiously asked about the corpse exorcist in Xiangxi, "I had a friend who met him when he was working in Xiangxi, and he was so scared that he fell ill for half a month. Every time he mentioned this matter, he shivered." .”

Jiang Chenqi, who has dealt with corpses before, has never seen a corpse standing up and jumping forward, "Master, tell me what's the trick here, it can't be the soul of the corpse summoned by the corpse chaser, or is there some way to fix it?" The corpse moves forward."

The latter guess is reliable, Baiwei saw the corpse driver with his own eyes, driving a group of bouncing corpses in the forest.It was dark at that time, and the hooting of the owl was frightening, so no one dared to step forward and take a closer look.

After finishing his conjecture, Baiwei stroked his gray beard and said earnestly: "Many people look down on people in the southwest mountainous area, thinking that they are uneducated and ignorant. , There are all kinds of skills, some experts are very powerful, I dare not offend."

Listening to Master's talk about the southwestern masters with different tempers, Jiang Chenqi thought to herself that each master's temper was getting weirder.Master loves to drink and has a lazy personality, so he is easier to get along with than those tall people.

Hearing Master mentioning a friend from Miao, Jiang Chenqi thought of the flower picker for some reason, "Bei Ya imperial guards and Dali Temple servants have searched for many days but failed. This flower picker has arrogance and power, which makes the girls in Kyoto and the handsome Erlang flustered."

Doesn’t the flower picker not let go of the handsome man? Baiwei laughed after inquiring carefully, “What an interesting flower picker, he’s so playful. This way of doing things reminds me of a Gu master’s apprentice, that apprentice is not afraid of heaven.” Not afraid of the earth, just like a naughty boy who doesn't grow up. He has a high status in the cottage, and he can only smile helplessly when he is teased by her."

Southern Xinjiang Gu masters don't like to travel far, Jiang Chenqi is not sure if the teasing flower picker is a Gu master from the south.If it is a Gu Master, it proves that the other party is just playing tricks and has no evil intentions of harming others.

When returning to the room to rest, Jiang Chenqi ignited the spices given by her master, curious about the taste of southern Xinjiang spices.

A light scent of flowers floated out from the incense burner, slowly enveloping the whole room.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Chenqi relaxed physically and mentally, as if standing in a lush jungle, admiring the beautiful wild flowers.

In the middle of the night, the moon was covered by white clouds, and Commander Jiang's residence was very quiet, except for the chirping of unknown bugs.

Uninvited guests enter the yard over the wall.

Throwing a stick of incense into the room, someone opened the door and entered the room, approached the bed step by step, took out the Ye Mingzhu and looked at the famous Commander Jiang, "Such a beautiful girl, why can't she think about being a treacherous minister? "

Jiang Chenqi, who woke up in a daze, patted away the hand that wanted to shave off her eyebrows, opened her eyes and said in a dignified tone: "It's a thief who came uninvited, I didn't expect that the arrogant flower picker turned out to be a girl. I didn't offend the girl Well, why would you break into my room at night, shave off my eyebrows and draw an ugly one, would it make you happy?"

Of course, you can't kill the big red man next to the emperor, it's okay to play tricks a little bit.Jiang Yuyou held a small silver carved knife, and looked at Jiang Chenqi confidently.

Jiang Chenqi got out of bed and kept a distance from the guests, she didn't like to shave her eyebrows.
