Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 557 Disguise! Inquire!
Even Tianji had to admit that Qin Wenyuan had never made a mistake.

Looking at the people who are valued by Qin Wenyuan, Chu Suiliang, Xue Rengui, and Su Dingfang, how can there be anyone who is not talented?
Qin Wenyuan smiled, patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Everything in this world, as long as you do it with all your heart and have a clear conscience, then even if you make a mistake, you have nothing to regret."

"If you make a mistake, correct it. If you feel there is something wrong, try your best."

"You have to live for yourself, not for me."

Xue Rengui's heart was filled with warmth, and he immediately gave up.

Qin Wenyuan helped him when he was at his lowest and most helpless and gave him everything he dreamed of.

In Xue Rengui's heart, Qin Wenyuan is his reborn parent.

As a martial artist, he doesn't know how to express his feelings.

But he will always remember Qin Wenyuan's kindness in his heart.

Qin Wenyuan said that he wanted to live for himself.

But Xue Rengui felt that he should live for Qin Wenyuan first, and then live for himself.

If he does not repay his kindness, he will be a useless person.

Of course, he couldn't say these words because he knew Qin Wenyuan would never allow it.

Qin Wenyuan is so kind and kind.

He can only hide these in his heart. If there is a chance to repay him in the future, he will definitely not hesitate.

Qin Wenyuan sat on the chair and said, "I came to see you just to see your current situation."

"Since you have done enough here, I won't stay any longer."

"Tomorrow morning, I will leave and return to Datang."

Xue Rengui said: "So urgent?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "We found a lot of clues in Nanzhao and need to go back to Datang to investigate, so the sooner we go back, the better."

Hearing this, Xue Rengui thought for a moment and said, "The general will send someone to escort you back."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and shook his head: "I still want to return in a low-key manner. If you do this, doesn't that mean you are telling the Beidou Society that I have returned to the Tang Dynasty?"

"No need to go to such trouble, just keep doing your thing."

"I have Sishe and the others, enough to return safely."

"But before I go back, there is something I need to tell you."

Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "Sir, please tell me."

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and said: "After you attack Yangju City, try your best to protect Beidou Temple. If possible, spare the lives of the Nanzhao royal family."

Xue Rengui didn't ask a single reason and said directly: "Okay!"

Ten days later.

Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou.

Facing the rising sun, the group of people rode their horses and stopped outside Yangzhou City.

Seeing the endless stream of pedestrians and smelling the fragrance of flowers in the air, the group felt a lot more relaxed.

The only woman in the team closed her eyes, gently smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and couldn't help but say: "Since I left the Tang Dynasty, I have never thought that one day I can come back."

"In other countries, no matter how free I am, my heart is always unstable. But now that I have returned, I realize that my instability is due to the knot of my mind as a wanderer."

"Now that I'm back here, my heart has completely calmed down."

Hua Zhanchao listened to Wang Xiaohua's emotion and said with a smile: "Are you sure your heart has calmed down? Isn't it because there are many regular customers here who have been stolen by you, so they feel familiar?"

When Wang Xiaohua heard Hua Zhanchao's joke, she couldn't help but get furious.

"I am an official of Dali Temple now. If you continue to talk nonsense like a flower picker, I will sew your mouth shut!"

As he spoke, a thin needle shimmering with cold light actually appeared on Wang Xiaohua's hand.

Under the sunlight, the thin needle shines brightly and is full of sharpness.

This made Hua Zhanchao feel a little pain in his mouth.

He quickly said to Qin Wenyuan: "Master Qin, look, someone is going to commit murder on the street."

Qin Wenyuan was helpless by these two living treasures.

He smiled helplessly: "The Tang Dynasty is our home court. You are now your original self. Pay attention to your image and don't be remembered by others. When you put on your official uniform in the future, people will recognize you." You are so crazy, you will be the one who will be embarrassed when the time comes.”

"If you are not afraid, you can go crazy."

When the two of them heard Qin Wenyuan's words, their hearts trembled.

They immediately put away their playful smiles, their backs were straight, their eyes were bright, and their whole bodies were filled with the majesty of righteous words.

That look reminded Qin Wenyuan of four words - idol baggage!

The idol baggage of these two people is really heavy.

He smiled and said immediately: "There's no need to be so tense. It's hard not to attract attention when you are like this."

"Just the same as usual, just don't go too crazy."

After saying that, Qin Wenyuan stopped delaying, got off his horse, then led the horse and walked towards Yangzhou City.

The Tang Dynasty had laws and regulations.

Anyone entering the city, except for government officials, must lead their horses.

Anyone who dares to ride a horse in the city will be punished if caught.

And if someone caused casualties due to riding a horse, he would be guilty of a serious crime.

Precisely because of such laws and regulations, there were very few cases of horses injuring people in the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Wenyuan didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, so he led his horse into the city with a few people.

Once inside the city, the scent of flowers becomes even more obvious.

The entire city of Yangzhou is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

At this moment, Qin Wenyuan suddenly remembered a poem.

"Fireworks descend on Yangzhou in March!"

Unknowingly, he had left Datang for quite some time.

…………

When I return, it is already March of the new year.

This time, Qin Wenyuan spent the New Year in Nanzhao.

Before he left with the army, he had promised Princess Changle that he would go back before the year.

But plans didn't change quickly.

Qin Wenyuan broke his promise for the first time.

He couldn't help but think of Princess Changle's temperament. She would probably be angry, right?

After all, as soon as he left, it was as if he had disappeared without writing a single letter.

He had to hide his identity in Nanzhao and had no chance to write letters.

........................

After returning to Chang'an, I'll probably have to spend a lot of time coaxing Chang Le.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and shook his head. He said: "Everyone has worked hard on the journey. Yangzhou is not Nanzhao, so there will be no danger."

"You are free to move."

"I'll give you three days off. You can do whatever you want and see whoever you want."

"We will meet up in three days and return directly to Chang'an."

"After that, you will officially join the Dali Temple. After joining the Dali Temple, you will be burdened with tasks. At that time, you will not just go wherever you want."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

They haven't returned to the Tang Dynasty for many years. There are really things they want to do and some people they want to see.

So they didn't hesitate, expressed their thanks to Qin Wenyuan, and left quickly.

Soon, only Qin Wenyuan, Si She, Tianji and Wang Xiaohua were left in the group.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Wang Xiaohua and said, "Aren't you leaving?"

Wang Xiaohua said calmly: "Without father or mother, without friends, I am alone and have nowhere to go." Sishe and Tianji were silent for a moment after hearing Wang Xiaohua's words.

They don't know what to say.

As for comfort, it seems that they are not qualified to comfort others.

But without comfort, standing here makes me feel a little restless.

At this time, they heard Qin Wenyuan's calm voice: "Now that you have me and the brothers from Dali Temple, you are no longer alone."

"If you are in danger, my brothers and I will find a way to save you."

"If something happens to you, we will also worry about you."

"So, you are wrong. How can you be called alone?"

Wang Xiaohua originally felt a little sad because she had nowhere to go and no one to look for.

But at this moment, when she suddenly heard Qin Wenyuan's words, her heart suddenly seemed to be illuminated by the sun.

It felt warm.

She smiled, her big eyes curved and sparkling.

She nodded heavily: "What Lord Qin said is that I can rely on you now. I have a place to go."

Qin Wenyuan smiled: "Actually, it's okay if you don't leave. If you really want to leave, I will stop you."

"Because there is something going on next, and I need you to accompany me."

Wang Xiaohua listened to Qin Wenyuan's words, and her eyes suddenly flashed as she was smart and said, "Rouge and gouache?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded: "It's a tacit understanding."

Wang Xiaohua smiled even happier.

But Si She and Tian Ji on the side were completely confused.

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, each of them saw confusion in the other's eyes.

They actually found that they could not understand what Qin Wenyuan and Wang Xiaohua said.

What rouge gouache?
What riddle are these two playing?

They were very confused.

Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, was obviously too lazy to explain to them.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Sishe, you and Tianji go to the inn first. Next, Wang Xiaohua and I will check some things. If you follow, you will be conspicuous."

Hearing this, Sishe couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan with some resentment.

When he was in Chang'an, Qin Wenyuan always followed him when he went to investigate cases.

He followed Qin Wenyuan almost every step of the way.

But who knew that after a trip to Nanzhao, the adults wouldn't need him anymore.

Qin Wenyuan didn't notice Si She's resentful eyes. After giving his instructions, he left without further delay and took Wang Xiaohua.

While walking, Qin Wenyuan asked: "I remember you said before that there is a Yuchuntang in Yangzhou City, right?"

Wang Xiaohua nodded: "Yuchuntang is a time-honored store. There are stores in many wealthy cities in the Tang Dynasty."

"Yangzhou, as one of the richest cities in the Tang Dynasty, naturally has it."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

He said: "We found Yuchundang's rouge in Empress Beidou's cabinet. We hope we can find some clues here."

Wang Xiaohua's eyes were bright. She looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master Qin is so smart and has great luck, so he will definitely be able to find him."

Qin Wenyuan smiled: "Let me lend you some good words."

Wang Xiaohua secretly turned her head and looked at Qin Wenyuan.

I saw light shining on Qin Wenyuan's handsome face.

The warm sunshine shone on Qin Wenyuan's face, as if it had been coated with a layer of golden light by invasion.

It made Qin Wenyuan look like an immortal.

Wang Xiaohua whispered: "It will definitely happen. For someone as good as Lord Qin, he will definitely get his wish."

"what?"

Qin Wenyuan didn't hear Wang Xiaohua's words clearly.

Wang Xiaohua shook her head quickly and said, "It's nothing, let's leave quickly."

With that said, the two of them quickened their pace.

As a well-known old brand, Yuchuntang has a good reputation.

So the two of them randomly asked passers-by and found Yuchuntang's shop.

I saw that Yuchuntang's store is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Yangzhou.

It has a total of two floors.

Just being close to Yuchundang's shop, you can smell some nice aroma.

There is a plaque on it. The wood of the plaque is obviously very precious sandalwood.

On the plaque there, the three words "Yuchuntang" are written with flying dragons and phoenixes.

Women were constantly coming in and out of the door, and at the same time, there were waiters coaxing the laughter of female customers.

Wang Xiaohua looked at Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he walked directly into the store.

As soon as Qin Wenyuan and Wang Xiaohua entered Yuchuntang's shop, they heard a very enthusiastic voice.

"Sir, would you like to accompany your wife to choose rouge?"

"You can accompany my wife here. I see that you are the one who loves my wife. She is so lucky to marry you."

A waiter came over with a warm face.

Qin Wenyuan frowned. It didn't matter that he had been misunderstood, but Wang Xiaohua was not married yet. She was a good girl. He didn't want others to misunderstand her.

It would be even worse if Wang Xiaohua's reputation was affected.

"You misunderstood——"

So he had to explain.

But as soon as Qin Wenyuan's voice sounded, Wang Xiaohua came over, gently pulled Qin Wenyuan's sleeves, smiled gently, and said: "You are right, my husband-in-law just dotes on me. No, I heard about your jade." Chun Tang’s rouge is of the best quality, and you can tell which master made it according to the serial number, so you can use it with confidence, so I brought it here.”

"Little flower?"

Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but look at Wang Xiaohua.

Immediately, Wang Xiaohua whispered: "My lord, you don't want to reveal your identity now, so we can only ask around the corner."

"There are only a few men in this rouge shop, so you are already a bit conspicuous."

"But if you come with your wife, you won't attract anyone's attention."

"So sir, let me pretend to be husband and wife for now and look for clues first."

Qin Wenyuan naturally understood what Wang Xiaohua meant.

He said: "Would this be too much of a disadvantage for you? I'm worried that it will affect your reputation."

Wang Xiaohua shook her head with a smile. Her eyes were bright and sparkling at the moment. She looked at Qin Wenyuan with a smile like a flower: "Didn't you tell me that we are family members? Since we are family members, how about the elder brother accompanying his sister? What’s the harm?”

"Not to mention the people in the world don't care much about these false etiquette."

"So adults, don't think too much, I don't even care, adults, don't even care."

"It's important for us to investigate the case."

Qin Wenyuan was not an ink-taker either. The reason why he hesitated was just because he was worried about Wang Xiaohua.

Since Wang Xiaohua doesn't care anymore.

Then he would no longer hesitate.

The waiter of Yuchuntang didn't pay attention to the little moves between the two. He said enthusiastically: "Madam is right. Every piece of rouge and gouache in our Yuchuntang has a number. This number is in our Yuchundang." From the first store I opened and the first rouge and gouache I sold, I already owned it.”
