Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 148 Illusion
This chattering tone seemed to be gossip about others, so that Xin You didn't realize it for a moment: "Engagement?"

"Well, it seems to be Miss Duan Er, is she your cousin or cousin?"

"Miss Duan Er—" Xin You bent her lips, "She is my cousin."

It seems that the old lady was reluctant to let go of this marriage, and promised her not to let Duan Yunling marry, so she let Duan Yunhua take over.

Thinking about the lunch on the tenth day, Duan Yunling and Duan Yunhua were both unhappy. Since Duan Yunling was distressed because he was selected, Duan Yunhua must be depressed because he lost the election.

This marriage finally reached a satisfactory result for everyone, which is also interesting.

"Then congratulations, Young Master Dai."

After finishing his gossip, Dai Ze left briskly.

After finding out the boy who made him unlucky, and having a solution, the next step is to let that boy follow suit.

It was very simple for Dai Ze, he went back and carefully selected a big rooster, and took the big rooster for a walk in the mansion if he had nothing to do.

On the morning of the fifteenth day, Dai Ze took the big rooster past Chang Liang's errand, beckoning him to come to him.

"What are your orders?"

"Chang Liang, right? Chunhua is tired from walking, you can walk with it for a while."

"Chunhua?" Chang Liang lowered his head slowly, meeting the round eyes of the big rooster.

"that's it."

Chang Liang's expression twisted, and he quickly leaned over to pick up the big cock.

In the hands of someone who knows martial arts, the big cock will be honest after struggling a few times.

Dai Ze nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go."

Chang Liang followed suit, following behind Dai Ze, and Lu Yu's servants were not surprised when they saw it.

It's normal for their sons to do these things.

Dai Ze wandered around, and walked out of Guchangbo Mansion through the corner gate.

It's cold in the morning, but there are many busy people on the street.

Dai Ze shrank his neck, pointed at the old locust tree not far away: "Chang Liang, take Chunhua and walk around the locust tree three times."

Chang Liang:?
Dai Ze stared: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!"

Although Chang Liang couldn't understand Shizi's behavior at all, he had no choice but to follow suit, holding the big cock Chunhua and walking around the locust tree three times.

But the big rooster keeps "clucking and clucking", attracting curious or shocked eyes from many passers-by.

Chang Liang had never felt so ashamed before, and returned to Dai Ze with a blank expression while holding the big cock.

"Sir."

"Well done." Dai Ze patted him on the shoulder, took out two gold leaves from his purse, "Your reward."

Chang Liang's heart became hot when he took the cold golden leaf: "My lord, what else do you need to do with Chunhua?"

He can!

"No need, don't tire Chunhua." Dai Ze felt that it was too cold, so he hurried back.

Chang Liang couldn't help but look down at the big cock in his arms again.

Tired?

"Cluck—" the big rooster screamed.

The corner of Chang Liang's mouth twitched, and he followed Dai Ze with big strides.

Not long after, a handsome young man walked out from a corner not far away, and quickly blended into the crowd.

The handsome young man is Xinyou disguised as a man.

Chang Liang was in his early twenties, with an ordinary appearance, and he belonged to someone who was inconspicuous among the crowd.But now, his appearance has been firmly imprinted in Xin You's mind.

Dai Ze said that many people like Chang Liang do not live in the Bo Mansion, but in the residential buildings built around the Bo Mansion.They go to the mansion every day to do errands, and then go home to sleep when the time comes.

The same is true of many honorable families. Compared with ordinary officials and eunuchs, these houses have more people, and many of them are guards who turned from soldiers back then.

These guards rotate day and night, and Chang Liang's shift time is estimated to be in the evening.

Qingsong Bookstore was not far away, but Xin You turned around and walked into an alley.

There was a lock on the door of the house in the innermost part of the alley. She took out the key and opened the door. Soon after entering, she changed into men's clothes and returned to her original appearance.

Xin You bought this unremarkable residence not long ago, so that she could disguise herself and avoid revealing her identity.

Walking out of the alley, Xin You planned to go straight back to the East Courtyard, but saw a familiar figure.

Mr. He to read a book?

This used to be a common thing, but during this period of time, Mr. He came to the bookstore for business, not for reading.

Xin You hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Qingsong Bookstore.

It should be that the shops she asked Mr. He to check have some clues.

"Master He is here." Liu Zhou lifted his spirits when he saw He Qingxiao coming in.

There's no way, he's afraid of dudes like Guchang Bo Shizi who always come to find his boss.

Or they congratulated Mr. Hello.

There were no other guests in the bookstore early in the morning, and Liu Zhou was very enthusiastic: "Yesterday, there was a new travel note, and it was placed in the place where Mr. He often reads..."

After hearing Liu Zhou's words with a gentle expression, He Qingxiao said, "Is Miss Kou there? I have something to do with her."

"Ah, my boss is here. Shitou—" Liu Zhou was about to call Shitou to find Xinyou, when Xinyou came in from outside, "My boss?"

Xin You walked in, and saw the man turned around, looking over with a pair of eyes as clear as spring water.

This was the first time the two of them met after Xin You realized that she was tempted. She almost couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, and looked away slightly.

He Qingxiao's gaze stayed on the girl's fair and small earlobe for a moment, and his heart moved slightly.

That time, Miss Kou disguised herself as a man to assassinate him, and took off her earrings.Now, Miss Kou's earlobe is empty again...

Did she pretend to be a teenager again to do some dangerous things?

He Qingxiao's thoughts turned, and because he didn't know where to ask, his hesitant voice was a little deeper than usual: "Miss Kou—"

The deep voice fell into the ears, and there was an illusion of affection for no reason.

Xin You's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks turned a faint blush uncontrollably.

He Qingxiao was stunned.

After a brief silence, it was Xin You who returned to normal first: "Master He, go to the reception room and have a cup of tea."

"Oh, good." He Qingxiao didn't move, waiting for Xin You to leave first.

Xin You walked into the reception room with downcast eyes.

Compared with the spaciousness of the study hall, the reception room is smaller and much warmer.

Xin You sat down, and there was no trace of disturbance on her face: "What is Mr. He looking for from me?"

"Miss Kou asked me to check the shops, I found out."

"So fast?"

He Qingxiao smiled: "They are all ordinary shops, and what Ms. Kou wants to check are all obvious things."

Xin You took the list and looked at it carefully.

She lowered her eyes halfway, with the tails of her eyes slightly raised, her face was as white as Lengci's, and her desolate and noble temperament was particularly obvious when she was silent.

He Qingxiao thought, the way Miss Kou blushed just now must be his illusion.

"Master He." Xin You shouted after reading the list.

Her voice is also like her temperament, sparse and faint.

The man's gaze could not help but fall on her cheek, and the voice in his heart became firm: It really is an illusion.

At this moment, He Qingxiao inexplicably laughed at himself, not even knowing what he was laughing at, and what he was expecting.

"Miss Kou, please tell me." His voice also faded.
