Bamboo Fragrance
Chapter 69
Chapter 69
After a very unpleasant sleep, Li Kongzhu got up early the next day and checked out of the room.
Regardless, he ran to the street stall and ate three meat buns with a bowl of pimple soup. In the end, he was still very dissatisfied and asked for another scallion pancake.
I took it and ate it while walking, as if I had a grudge against that cake. I kept chewing and biting, and I was very rude in the end. I crushed the last bit of the last bit into slag, which made me feel better. .
Eating the crushed scallion pancakes, she walked towards the gate of the city while strolling, thinking of going there and waiting for the Mai Yaer couple to meet up.
I'm 26 today, and I don't know if Hui Niang and the others have come back.Thinking that most of the shops are not open at this moment, I plan to stop by when I finish shopping for the New Year.
Walking to the gate of the city, it will not be long before the gate opens.
At this moment, some people have already entered the city one after another carrying things to sell.
Li Kongzhu stood in a hole in the front of the city gate, so that if Mai Ya'er and the others came from the right way, they would be able to see her at a glance.
The only bad thing is that the place is ventilated on three sides.The frontal wind was so strong that her face felt a little stiff after standing for a long time.
Thinking of the fur in the basket, Li Kongzhu really wanted to get it.
But when she thought about it, she was still suffocating with the man, so she wouldn't take the initiative to go over and talk to him.Therefore, she just continued to blow and freeze, letting her clear nose hang into frost, and she didn't want to turn her eyes to look at the man.
In fact, Zhao Junyi was quite innocent, and seeing her speechless looking at her self-sufficiency and making a fuss for herself, she found it very funny.
Seeing this, she shrugged her nose again, and her face turned red.She frowned, untied the basket, and took out the fur that was on her head.
He walked over and put it on her head.
Li Kongzhu froze unnaturally for a moment, then snorted coldly in disdain for a moment, "Who asked you to wear it, have you asked me?"
"Do you want to tear it off?" The man raised his eyebrows and asked her deliberately.When his hand was covering her fur, his fingertips inadvertently touched her cheek.
Li Kongzhu blushed unnaturally, smelling the cold breath from his body which was so close to him.He muttered in a daze, "You took the initiative to find it."
"what?"
"Hmph!" He rolled his eyes again, very awkwardly. "nothing!"
The man was so funny that he helped her wrap her head.Grabbing it very smoothly again, her broken hair that was blown wildly by the wind, stroking that strand of black hair quickly flew out from the palm of her hand, the man's eyes darkened a little!
Li Kongzhu's whole face felt a little hot, and he couldn't understand him at first.
He obviously didn't want her, but he still allowed himself to make small jokes from time to time.He obviously didn't like her, but after she expressed her feelings, she didn't return to the previous indifferent period.
On the contrary, she felt that these days.He and himself are getting more and more... How should I put it, they are in harmony!
This is obviously...
"Stay away from me in the future!" She sighed.
The man regained his senses from a few moments of absent-mindedness, and he only gave a faint "hmm" to these words.
Li Diaozhu was a little unhappy again.
After listening to him humming, she felt that he was going to distance herself, which made her feel very uncomfortable.Don't let him go away, I seem to be going deeper and deeper.
With a light breath, she thought it was better not to think about it.Let's just live like this, every day is a day, and one day I really have to leave... Let's talk about it on that day!
Mai Ya'er and his wife didn't make her wait any longer, when they came, it happened to be the moment when Li Kongzhu had figured it out.
Both of them came on foot, and they said that Uncle Zhao's ox cart was going to start moving from now on.
Because from the 26th to the 29th, it is a collection, and it happens to be able to make more money during these few days, so I will not rent the ox cart to them for the time being.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Mai Ya'er came over and helped her to throw the snow particles on her head because of the wind.
Li Kongzhu shook his head when he heard this, "It's not long since I've just had breakfast."
As she said that, she pulled her hand off her head, and the two of them held each other's arms and said, "Let's go! Since there are not many people, let's go shopping early, and go back as soon as we finish shopping. Oh yes, later I have to go to Huifu to see if Hui Niang is back. If she comes back, I will take this opportunity to ask how the hawthorn market is doing."
"Ok!"
Mai Ya'er nodded, pulled her and walked quickly, "Let's go! Let's hurry up!"
"it is good!"
A group of people laughed and entered the city gate, and as soon as they entered, they started to go shopping in various shops.
Li Diaozhu bought a lot of dry goods, saying that he had enough meat.Bought firecrackers and pairs.When I was in a good mood for shopping, I followed Mai Ya'er to the embroidery shop and bought two nets to hang on my body.
Stopping and walking, Zhao Junyi went from indifference at the beginning to doubts flashing in his eyes, and then his eyes began to become dangerous.
When he arrived at Sishi, the danger in his eyes disappeared again, and he became as if nothing had happened.
Waiting for the big and small packages to fill up the basket, when Li Kongzhu and Mai Ya'er both felt that they had bought enough, they discussed going to Huifulai.
He turned his head to greet the two big men with baskets on their backs, then turned around and headed northwest.
Since the shop hadn't opened yet, when they arrived, they saw that the door of the shop was closed tightly. Compared with the bustling and noisy surroundings, the cold courtyard seemed particularly lonely.
Seeing that the store door was closed, the group felt a little uncertain.
She still has some impressions of Li Kongzhu, Hui Niang's natal family, but she doesn't know anything about her newly married man.
"Why don't you try knocking on the door?" Mai Ya'er tried to suggest.
Li Kongzhu also nodded.
After several people climbed the steps, Li Kongzhu tried to knock a few times.
"No response!" Withdrew his hand, and exchanged glances with Mai Ya'er, "Maybe he hasn't come back yet!"
"go back?"
"Ok!"
Li Kongzhu responded, not noticing the flicker in the eyes of the man behind him.
Just as the group turned around and were about to go back.
The door panel that reached the door squeaked a few times, and when a few people turned their heads in surprise, they saw that the tightly closed door panel had been removed.
"It's you?!"
Li Chong who opened the door blinked his sleepy eyes. When he saw them, he didn't seem too surprised and took off the door panel.
"come in!"
Li Kongzhu: "Will it be inconvenient?"
"No! I'm already awake. I happen to have something to ask you about Fucheng!"
When they heard it was about Fucheng, everyone hurried in.
Once inside, Hui Niang lifted the curtain to welcome her out.Called a few people to the room behind the curtain, "The hall is too cold to burn the stove, go inside! Head of the house, you go back to the inner room to wash your clothes first, I have prepared the water for you and put it there."
"Yeah!" Li Chong nodded, stretched out his hand and beckoned to let them advance.
Several people entered the separated outer room and sat down one after another.
Hui Niang quickly placed the tea bowl she took out, and took the kettle from the burning stove to pour water for several people. "I was planning to go to Zhaojia Village when the ringing ring came, but I didn't think so, but you came first. It's just right, so I don't have to go again, so I'll tell you about it now!"
After pouring the tea, she pushed it in front of several people, "Come on, drink some hot water to warm up first."
Li Kongzhu smiled and took a few sips of the tea bowl first.
Seeing this, Mai Ya'er knew that she was really in a hurry, so she quickly imitated her and started drinking from the teacup.
Li Chong, who had gone to the inner room to wash his face, came out at this time, and confessed to Hui Niang, "I'll go shopping and come back early, what do you want to eat?"
"See if there is any tofu nao in Dongji, if there is, buy me a bowl and come back!"
"to make!"
Then he was ready to go out of the house.
Seeing this, Zhao Junyi stood up, "I'm with you."
"?" Li Chong looked puzzled.
Zhao Junyi didn't intend to explain further, and walked in front of him, "Let's go!"
Li Kongzhu looked at his hand lifting the curtain, and frowned, "Head?"
"Come back soon!" The man didn't turn his head to look at her, but after he finished his sentence, he lifted the curtain and walked out.
Li Chong turned his eyes to look at Hui Niang, and Hui Niang looked at Li Kongzhu questioningly.
Li Kongzhu laughed silently in his heart, and nodded to Hui Niang.
Seeing this, Li Chong on the side clearly followed the curtain and walked out.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.
Hui Niang reached out and shook the hand beside her, "It's nothing serious!"
"It's okay!" Li Kongzhu, who had recovered, shook his head.
He has important things to do, and he has no right to interfere. If he thinks too much, it's just mediocrity.
Withdrawing his hand from her, he took another sip of water from the bowl in a nonchalant manner.He started to ask about the trip to Fucheng, "Is it going well?"
"It's going well!" Hui Niang stared at her face and looked again and again, seeing that there was nothing wrong, she was relieved.
He said again: "The old lady likes the hawthorn cake very much. It is soft and delicious to eat. The brothers and sisters in the mansion love the hawthorn strips and fruit peel very much. When I left, the grandma specially asked me to meet again."
She paused, "Just wait for a while." While speaking, she got up and walked towards the inner room.
Li Kongzhu and the others sat there and waited for a while, and when she came out of the inner room, she came out with a carved wooden box in her hand.
After placing it on the table, he tapped the lid of the box with his fingertips, "Open it and take a look!"
Hearing this, Li Kongzhu stretched out his hand to open the box with some doubts.
As soon as he opened it, his eyes were immediately attracted by the shining silver.
Hui Niang drank the hot water in the bowl and continued: "This is 20 taels of fixed silver. I'm afraid this year, you will have a hard time."
Li Kongzhu stroked the four small silver ingots shining with silver light, "When will the delivery be delivered?"
"It must be sent there on New Year's Eve." It is already 26 now, which means that it can only be done early in the morning on 29 at the latest.
"How much?"
"Compared to the good family, the family's crystal cake is at least three or four catties. I'm afraid it can't be lowered by as much as a hundred catties!"
"Suck!" Mai Ya'er sucked at the side so much that even the hand holding the bowl trembled.
Li Kongzhu put the lid on calmly, looked at her and asked, "I don't know what price Sister Hui Niang ordered?"
"Crystal cake is two taels of silver a catty! Hawthorn sticks are half a tael of silver."
"Oh!"
Mai Ya'er was really scared.The embarrassment of the tea bowl falling to the ground made her blush and squat down to pick it up.
Even a big man like Zhao Mengzi who was beside him could not take it anymore and covered his heart.
Li Kongzhu was quite surprised.
Two taels of silver, five hundred wen?That net profit is more than one or two taels of silver!
"You and I will split the money earned [-]-[-]. Of course, the costs here are all counted together."
Li Kongzhu nodded, and pushed back the 20 taels of silver to her: "Since this is the case, sister Hui will be responsible for the supply of rock sugar yokan. At that time, you and I will draw up a contract, and the net profit will be [-]%! "
"Okay!" Hui Niang didn't say anything pretentious, and took the box back, which was considered her request.
Li Kongzhu nodded his thanks, and the group began to discuss how to price the hawthorn cakes and hawthorn sticks in the town after the store opened.
"If you don't sell and buy according to the high, middle, and low grades. For big households, two or two and five hundred yuan, you can use high-priced syrup like rock sugar to cook the whole process. Medium-sized ones use white sugar to remove the sour taste more thoroughly. Low-grade The only thing is to add a small amount of sugar to retain a certain degree of sour taste. In this way, the shop can attract customers from all walks of life to come and consume.”
"That's a good idea." Hui Niang nodded.
Li Kongzhu was still worried, "It's nothing else, I'm afraid the crystal cake will arouse the jealousy of many parties. Ms. Hui Niang may be sure that there is a safe way?"
Could it be that the people of Qi Mansion are not angry?After all, he is a slave, if he becomes popular.How will the master think about it?
When Hui Niang frowned and thought about going back to the mansion, she intentionally made a detour and expressed her willingness to share with the Qi mansion.
But at that time, the eldest grandma of the Qi Mansion didn't show any interest, and just told her to do things with peace of mind.
If in the future...
"Let's settle down like this first!" Hui Niang was also a little uncertain.
Li Kongzhu nodded, and he could only wait until the Chinese New Year batch was sent away, and then opened the shop.
Thinking of the quantity to be done, she felt a headache again, fearing that this time she would have to find some reliable people to help!
While talking, Li Chong bought some food and came back.
When he entered the room, Li Kongzhu inadvertently looked behind the curtain he opened, and saw that there was no figure of a man.His brows furrowed a little.
Hui Niang at the side saw it and gave her man a wink.
Li Chong understood, and said calmly, "He said he was going on the same road with me, but he bypassed the one who said he had something else to do." After all, he was not very familiar with each other, so he couldn't drag a big man straight. Ask where to go!
After hearing this, Li Kongzhu didn't reveal anything.
He only smiled and called the couple, and went to Zhaojia Village the next day, "Let's go back to prepare the fruit today. Tomorrow, Miss Hui will come to my house after drawing up the contract. I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower for the introduction. Cook this fruit." One piece, I think it’s better to buy it yourself.”
After Hui Niang heard this, she was a little surprised, "Wait for me for a while, after dinner. I will negotiate a contract with you. After you and I sign it, we will go back to the village by car. We have a donkey cart. Too long."
While talking, she hurriedly called her man, "Master, you go to your friend's place to get the donkey cart, and after dinner, follow them back to the village."
Li Kongzhu really wanted to refuse, but now she felt a little bit in her heart.
But seeing that Hui Niang had already stretched out her hand to hold her hand, she had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay!"
……
After the couple finished their meal and drew up a contract.A group of people put the big and small bags on the donkey cart led by Li Chong, got into the cart, and Li Chong drove them towards the city gate.
Meanwhile, Zhao Junyi never returned.
Mai Ya'er and Zhao Mengzi muttered to each other several times, but Li Kongzhu pretended not to hear them.
Just when he was about to get in the car and leave, Mai Ya'er couldn't help but asked, "Why don't you go and look for it! What are you going to buy? Why have you been walking for so long?"
Hui Niang also said to wait, and Li rushed over, ready to let him and Zhao Mengzi go to the street to search.
Li Kongzhu held back, "He has his own things to do, don't worry about it. He will come back when it gets dark!"
"Sister-in-law..." Mai Ya'er and his wife more or less knew about Zhao Junyi's martial arts skills.It wasn't surprising to see her, so I guessed that she might know something.
Li Kongzhu nodded at her, "Don't worry about it, get in the car!"
Mai Ya'er suddenly understood, she nodded and came over to support her, and climbed towards the car together.
Hui Niang was a little confused, she turned her head to look at her for a while, and saw that the two had already entered the carriage.Then he sighed and ordered: "Let's go, let's go!"
And Zhao Junyi here.
After separating from Li Chong, they headed in the direction of the person who had been following them secretly.
Soon after entering the city, he discovered that he was being followed.
He didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend at first, but he didn't realize it until the other party had been deliberately keeping a loophole waiting for him to find out.
There is some urgency in his heart, but his face is extremely calm.
After the follower saw him turn around, he didn't intentionally show his flaws again, but there were still a few traces of him that could be traced.
Searching for a few spider threads along the way, they traced to an extremely westward area.
Most of the houses in this area are poor houses.
The houses are generally not big, and the walls are also very old. The paths pass through, and the walls are very close and narrow.
What's more, the courtyard walls of some houses collapsed a lot due to disrepair. Under the warm winter sun, they looked extremely gray and depressed.
Looking for the last clue, he slowly walked to a very simple small house.
He looked up at the closed single black door on the steps.Due to the age, many mottled paint stains have fallen off, revealing the original color of green wood inside.
Stepping forward calmly, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door.
"Creak!" Not surprisingly, I heard the sound of the door opening.
Stepping in, I saw that there was another world inside.
It's not as good as the depression of the location.On the contrary, the courtyard was kept fairly neat and tidy.The yard is paved with stone slabs, which is not as good as the dirt in the poor street area.
There are three small bungalows in the style, and the main hall door is wide open in the middle.
When the people inside heard the sound of him pushing the door, a clear and clear mocking voice came, "Long time no see, son of the Jun family! Jun Yizhi!"
The man's face didn't change, only his thin pink lips were slightly drawn.
Step by step, even if you are limping, you walk very smoothly and upright!
The person sitting at the head of the main hall, seeing his resolute and upright figure, could not help but narrow his narrow eyes.In the next moment, he looked at someone who was getting closer and closer with a hint of evil light.
The corner of Si's mouth was raised in complacency, "I never thought that I would be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger like this. Since I have hidden such an extremely important person, is this a good thing or a disaster?"
The person at the top clapped his hands while talking, with a pair of extremely beautiful brows raised on his face, looked at the man who had already entered the room and asked, "Brother Yi, what do you think?"
The man pursed his lips and looked at the person above him, "What do you think the fourth prince of Changing Kingdom?"
The person at the top raised one eyebrow without being surprised, "It turns out that Brother Yi already knew my identity! You have so clearly aroused my doubts and tempted me to explore. I should say that you want to do it for me. Are you looking for a backer? Or are you trying to use me?"
Zhao Junyi raised his eyes and looked at him, not afraid of the intimidation in his eyes, but said very sincerely: "There are all of them!"
Cui Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed amusedly again, "You are so bold, so you are not afraid of me getting angry and turning your face?"
"The fourth prince is thinking about employing people now. Although Bianguo is rich, it is not as strong as Jingguo's army. It is only because Jinghuang is a fool."
Dare to say it!
Cui Jiu squinted his eyes and shook his head, and smiled for a moment, "Eight years ago, after the Jun family ransacked and beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, the military strength of the Jing Kingdom may not have been as strong as it was back then. You know, the ancestors of the Jun family So far, to the soldiers of the army, the commanders of all generations, it is undoubtedly a symbol of the military spirit. Over the years, this king has been well aware of the affairs of Jingguo!"
When the person at the bottom heard about the affairs of the Jun family, he couldn't help but quietly squeezed his hands hidden in his sleeves.There was a cold look on his face and he didn't express too much emotion.
The person above looked at his expression from the corner of his eyes from time to time, and saw that although his face was cold, he did not show much anger or annoyance.
I couldn't help but opened my mouth and said slowly: "When the Jun family ransacked all the families back then, it was reported to this king by the secret work of changing the country hidden in Yasukuni. At that time, this king was very regretful. You know, the members of the Jun family, All of them are brave and warlike, and they often guard the extremely bitter and cold place, and they often cause headaches to the generals of the enemy's country. There is even a rumor among the people that if you win the Jun's family, you will get half of the world. It can be seen , the Jun family has a very high reverence in the hearts of the people of Jingguo."
After finishing speaking, he went to look at the person who was next to him.Seeing that he still has a cold face, and the expression on his face is still indistinguishable.It's as if what he said is just another person's business to him, and he is not the person in that game.
He stopped his sitting posture, and then changed another posture to sit together.Putting her hand on her chin, she looked at him very curiously, and said "tsk tsk".
"It's really so ruthless?" After a pause, he smiled narrowly, "If you are so ruthless, why bother to save me? Why did you come here knowingly?"
"Everything is merciless, whether there is sensuality or not is not what you can see with the naked eye!" Eyes can see people, and they can deceive people the most.
If the hand he hid in his sleeve hadn't been pinched beyond recognition by himself, who would know the pain in his heart?
After hearing this, the person above became a little silent.
When he raised his eyes to look at him, he smiled again and said: "You can come here, it has already explained everything. You are not afraid that I will deliberately accept you and hand you over to Yasukuni? You know, there is a difference between Bianguo and Yasukuni. , at least on the surface, they still have a good relationship."
"If the truth is on good terms, how could you allow an assassin to assassinate you, the Fourth Prince, on the border of Yasukuni?" The man's eyes flashed sarcasm, but he still didn't have much emotion in what he said.
"Hmph!" Cui Jiu snorted coldly.His good emperor brother, for the sake of the upper position, is really unscrupulous.Now he was thinking of going back and giving him a good blow. "You are very clear. How do you know that it was not Yasukuni who wanted to assassinate me?"
"Of course not!" The man said sarcastically, "How can the Nine Kings of Yasukuni have the extra thought to deal with Lin Guo?" The big benefit is.
Cui Jiu nodded amusedly, "Yes! Today's Jingguo is almost dominated by the Nine Kings. As for the king of Jingguo...heh!"
It's just an old pervert who indulges in wine and sex all day long.
As for why the Nine Kings haven't dared to move him so far, I'm afraid it's an elite secret guard in the hands of the emperor!
Cui Jiu stretched out his hand to ask him to sit down, "It's been so long and I haven't invited you to sit down, but I'm being rude to others. Brother Yi, come here, just sit here!"
Zhao Junyi glanced at it, the place he stretched out was the same position as his superior.
He lowered his eyes and didn't pay attention, but sat in the first position on the left hand side of the lower head.
Cui Jiu raised his eyebrows, "It's quite polite. How can I remember that the person who gave me the medicine back then didn't have this awareness?"
"This moment, that moment!" Someone said very calmly, his expression unchanged.
After Cui Jiu heard this, although he was extremely upset, he just let out a cold sigh.
"Brother Yiyi is here, have you decided to choose a side?"
"nature!"
"What about Yasukuni?" Don't you fear being hated by the people of Yasukuni?
"If you want to come to the people of Yasukuni, you also hope to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible!"
Really dare to say.Cui Jiu shook his head and laughed for a while.No matter what it is, how can anyone be willing to be a subjugated slave?
Zhao Junyi's hands had already been pinched until he lost consciousness, hearing his laughter again and again.The corner of his mouth was raised coldly, so what if he doesn't betray the country?Haven't you been labeled as a collaborator?If you don't choose a side, you will be a scapegoat sooner or later.
In this case, he will carry out the crime of treason.In this case, choose a side and stand.
Just like what she said, opportunities that come for nothing, if you don't grab them, don't grab them for nothing!Since he was allowed to seize this opportunity, then it should be his opportunity for revenge!
"I have to ask the Fourth Prince for something!" Ping tried hard to extinguish the anger that suddenly ignited.The man asks for something else.
"What's the matter?"
He said solemnly: "When I was hunted down by the secret guards back then, I was already betrayed by someone close to me and poisoned by the Yasukuni imperial family. Although I was aware of it before, half of it was forced out with internal strength, but half of it has been for many years. It has been stored in the body for as long as eight years. Although it is not fatal, it often needs to be suppressed with internal force when it is repeated, and the power is not even half developed, which is quite troublesome!"
"Oh? Is there a solution?" Cui Jiu asked with a serious face after hearing this.
"Yes! It is made from a unique herbal medicine of Yasukuni, which grows in the extreme north. In the Imperial Palace Hospital, there is an imperial doctor who specializes in imperial medicine!"
"So, just hand it over to the king!"
"Thank you, Fourth Prince!" Listening to his help.Zhao Junyi stood up straight away, bowing his hands to him.
The corner of Cui Jiu's mouth twitched inadvertently.Looking at him, he smiled for a while.Instead, she pretended to be reasonable, and now she actually started to reason with him.
"However, I'm afraid it will take some time to get the antidote!"
"Defenseless!" He has been waiting for so many years, and he doesn't really care about waiting a little longer.
Seeing this, Cui Jiu nodded and talked about the matter of leaving, "Now that the New Year's Eve is coming, this king is thinking of going back to Beijing to give my father and brother a big surprise. There are some things that need to be dealt with. I want to come and see you again. I'm afraid it will take some time. Brother Yi, are you willing to walk with me?"
now?For a brief moment in the man's mind, the beautiful and bright face of the woman appeared.In the next moment, it quickly disappeared again.
Now that he is burdened with a bloody family feud, the matter of love between his sons and daughters should not be what he should be talking about right now.
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands again and saluted, "Minister... yes!"
Cui Jiu was taken aback.The next second he laughed again, "Brother Yi, you really have a heart of stone. Come to think of it, if I asked you to walk with me immediately, you would not hesitate."
Thinking of the woman in his family who is good at making snacks.Although he hasn't been in contact with him for a long time, he is an unforgettable person, with special and intelligent behavior.
How could he really be willing to give up such a beautiful and intelligent woman?So without hesitation, is there not even a trace of nostalgia?
Cui Jiu looked at the person next to him who was still indifferent, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the woman he had been friends with for a few days.
Knowing that someone who was tricked did not show much anger.
Tranquility put his hands on his sides, and gave a very indifferent answer, "Yes!"
"Is there no one you care about?" Someone still asked in disbelief. After all, a husband and wife, like this, is too chilling.
Zhao Junyi raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
Cui Jiu knew that he had asked something private that shouldn't be asked, so he shut up very wisely and didn't ask any more questions.
He put his hand on the palm of his hand and patted it a few times, and when he waved to let him sit down again, he said: "The time is not yet ripe for going back this time. I'm afraid it's better to invite Brother Yi to continue hiding here. After all, the capital city If you inadvertently find out your true identity, as well as those who are close friends with Yasukuni, you may be in a very dangerous situation if it is to please the cooperative Yasukuni!"
Zhao Junyi sat down, and when he heard that he was not asked to follow immediately, for some reason, he was actually relieved.
"I just obey the arrangement of the fourth prince!"
"Since that's the case, Brother Yi, just wait for the good news from me!"
"Yes!"
The conversation between the two ended here.
A consensus was reached, seeing that there was nothing more to say, Zhao Junyi got up, made a gesture to say goodbye and wanted to leave.
Cui Jiu nodded in agreement, but when he was leaving the house, he still asked in a puzzled voice, "You knew my identity when you rescued me that day, or did you find out after you rescued me?"
"When I was saving the fourth prince that day, I saw your dragon pattern jade pendant hidden on your waist!"
"Then how did you determine my real identity?" He was curious about this.Although a jade pendant with dragon patterns, it can be confirmed that it is a member of the royal family.But there are so many people in the royal family, how does he know that he is a prince, not a county king or prince in Pianzhili?Furthermore, as soon as he entered the door, he accurately called himself the fourth prince, how did he know it?
"Bianguo heard the news that the prince was sent to visit the country, and when the fourth prince woke up that day, he told his wife the surname Cui, and he was ranked ninth.
The former empress of the current emperor of Bianguo, her natal family came from the Duke's mansion surnamed Cui, and the four princes ranked ninth among her grandchildren. "
As he spoke, he turned around, "I was forced to jump from that watershed back then."
So, he has been thoroughly touched in all aspects?Cui Jiu had a dark face, thinking that when he was trapped in that small house, he wanted to break his head but never figured out which hero he was.I once wondered if he was a knight-errant who was tired of fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, and purposely lived in seclusion here.
Now it seems that it is really too bad.
"Let's go!" Cui Jiu waved him to go quickly.
After Zhao Junyi cupped his hands again, he walked out.
After he completely disappeared in the courtyard, a person came quickly from the dark, stood beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Master wants to use this person?"
"Members of the Jun family must use it!"
"But..." Thinking of that man's unruly appearance, I'm afraid it's hard to obey him.In addition, it is so easy to betray the country, if you take refuge here, will you do the same thing in the future?
Cui Jiu raised his hand to stop the visitor from saying any more, "The members of the Jun family can guard the extremely miserable land, and they have not betrayed their hearts for a hundred years. Don't underestimate it."
"……Yes!"
Waved to let the person come down, Cui Jiu stood in the room with his hands behind his back.Looking at the extremely bright winter light outside, he curled his lips into a sneer.
After Li Kongzhu and the others returned to the village, they began to discuss the matter of fruit picking.
Due to the need for a lot of raw materials, Li Kongzhu wanted to ask Cui Jiu to find his friends who used to form a hunting team.
"Thinking about this season, I wouldn't go up the mountain to hunt every day. Why don't I invite someone who has time to help pick a few backs. Of course, there is no reason to help pick. Harvesting by the catty, one Half a catty!"
In this way, whoever has nothing to do, just follow the mountain to pick for a day, and if they want to get one or two hundred catties, it will not be a problem at all.
If you can pick a hundred or ten essays in one day, it is already considered a very good market.
Zhao Mengzi pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, then I will go to a few houses that live closer to ask now, and while the meeting is still early, I should be able to pick up two backs when the ringing rings!"
"Okay!" Li Kongzhu just nodded his head when he got up.
Seeing this, Mai Ya'er quickly stuffed him with the steamed buns he bought when he came back twice, "Let's stuff some! Make it delicious tonight!"
"Hey!" Zhao Mengzi nodded with a smile and took it, then lifted the curtain and left the room.
Li Diaozhu also talked about harvesting hawthorn fruit.
"I'm afraid I have to run farther. That day, brother Mengzi collected a car and came back. He said that he was going to a very remote valley. Because the valley is poor, he rarely goes out to do business. It's a bargain for us."
"It's nothing, I can go to other villages to ask some hunters. If anyone wants to earn this money, they will know where there are red ones in the mountains!" Li Chong answered the words very calmly. Said: "This external matter, leave it to me!"
Hui Niang echoed from the side, "Don't worry about him handling things, after running away for so many years, he will know how to handle things."
Li Kongzhu smiled, "I have nothing to worry about, sister Hui Niang is much smarter than a fool like me!"
"Again, isn't it a joke?" She patted her and said angrily, "You're not bad, don't worry about anything, I'm always distracted watching you!"
Li Kongzhu smiled unnaturally, although he forced to talk about things to forget some things he didn't want to think about, but he still had some worries in his heart.
"It's nothing serious. I'll understand when he comes back. It's just that I'm a little worried!"
Hui Niang also sighed, "Who wants to marry such a gourd? All you can do is guess!"
"Cough!" Li Chong beside him coughed unnaturally.
Li Kongzhu gave the two of them a meaningful look, and only talked about others.Isn't she like that too?
Smiling and shaking his head, Li Kongzhu went on to discuss with them the issue of accommodation, and let them stay at Mai Ya'er's house.
And she still has to go find Mrs. Wang in a while, and ask her to help find a few people.
This time, I'm afraid it will take a few more people.
After discussing it, a few people cooked a hot soup with the buns and steamed buns they bought back, and settled the lunch simply.
After eating, Mai Ya'er went home next to Hui Niang and the others.
Li Kongzhu then went to Li Changchang, looking for Mrs. Wang, and asked her to help find two more people.
It is best to have two on the first day and four on the second day.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had an idea in her heart, and she just wanted to put her at ease as a guarantee.
After arranging these things, Li Kongzhu went home alone.
When I got home, I saw that Zhao Junyi hadn't come back yet.
The bitter astringent feeling in her heart began to emerge little by little because there was no place for outsiders at this moment, and it was so bitter that her heart ached a little.
Going to the kitchen, took out the sugar bowl, dug a few rock sugar into his mouth, pretended to be very comfortable, squinted his eyes, and smiled softly, "It's so sweet!"
Holding the jar in his arms, he stepped out.
Walking to the main house, he took off his shoes and got on the kang, and lay down on the kang table.After waiting for the candy in his mouth to melt, he dug another piece into his mouth and said again, "It's so sweet!"
She talked a lot over and over again, just when she thought the astringency in her heart was about to disappear.
The door opened unexpectedly.
The person who came in was tall and tall with cold eyes.
A face, half of which is magnificent, and half of which is covered with thorns.It's normal not to walk.When walking, it will limp.
The person staring at him was lying on the table and kept licking the rock candy in his mouth.
Looking at him, he smiled magnificently, "Master, are you leaving?"
(End of this chapter)
After a very unpleasant sleep, Li Kongzhu got up early the next day and checked out of the room.
Regardless, he ran to the street stall and ate three meat buns with a bowl of pimple soup. In the end, he was still very dissatisfied and asked for another scallion pancake.
I took it and ate it while walking, as if I had a grudge against that cake. I kept chewing and biting, and I was very rude in the end. I crushed the last bit of the last bit into slag, which made me feel better. .
Eating the crushed scallion pancakes, she walked towards the gate of the city while strolling, thinking of going there and waiting for the Mai Yaer couple to meet up.
I'm 26 today, and I don't know if Hui Niang and the others have come back.Thinking that most of the shops are not open at this moment, I plan to stop by when I finish shopping for the New Year.
Walking to the gate of the city, it will not be long before the gate opens.
At this moment, some people have already entered the city one after another carrying things to sell.
Li Kongzhu stood in a hole in the front of the city gate, so that if Mai Ya'er and the others came from the right way, they would be able to see her at a glance.
The only bad thing is that the place is ventilated on three sides.The frontal wind was so strong that her face felt a little stiff after standing for a long time.
Thinking of the fur in the basket, Li Kongzhu really wanted to get it.
But when she thought about it, she was still suffocating with the man, so she wouldn't take the initiative to go over and talk to him.Therefore, she just continued to blow and freeze, letting her clear nose hang into frost, and she didn't want to turn her eyes to look at the man.
In fact, Zhao Junyi was quite innocent, and seeing her speechless looking at her self-sufficiency and making a fuss for herself, she found it very funny.
Seeing this, she shrugged her nose again, and her face turned red.She frowned, untied the basket, and took out the fur that was on her head.
He walked over and put it on her head.
Li Kongzhu froze unnaturally for a moment, then snorted coldly in disdain for a moment, "Who asked you to wear it, have you asked me?"
"Do you want to tear it off?" The man raised his eyebrows and asked her deliberately.When his hand was covering her fur, his fingertips inadvertently touched her cheek.
Li Kongzhu blushed unnaturally, smelling the cold breath from his body which was so close to him.He muttered in a daze, "You took the initiative to find it."
"what?"
"Hmph!" He rolled his eyes again, very awkwardly. "nothing!"
The man was so funny that he helped her wrap her head.Grabbing it very smoothly again, her broken hair that was blown wildly by the wind, stroking that strand of black hair quickly flew out from the palm of her hand, the man's eyes darkened a little!
Li Kongzhu's whole face felt a little hot, and he couldn't understand him at first.
He obviously didn't want her, but he still allowed himself to make small jokes from time to time.He obviously didn't like her, but after she expressed her feelings, she didn't return to the previous indifferent period.
On the contrary, she felt that these days.He and himself are getting more and more... How should I put it, they are in harmony!
This is obviously...
"Stay away from me in the future!" She sighed.
The man regained his senses from a few moments of absent-mindedness, and he only gave a faint "hmm" to these words.
Li Diaozhu was a little unhappy again.
After listening to him humming, she felt that he was going to distance herself, which made her feel very uncomfortable.Don't let him go away, I seem to be going deeper and deeper.
With a light breath, she thought it was better not to think about it.Let's just live like this, every day is a day, and one day I really have to leave... Let's talk about it on that day!
Mai Ya'er and his wife didn't make her wait any longer, when they came, it happened to be the moment when Li Kongzhu had figured it out.
Both of them came on foot, and they said that Uncle Zhao's ox cart was going to start moving from now on.
Because from the 26th to the 29th, it is a collection, and it happens to be able to make more money during these few days, so I will not rent the ox cart to them for the time being.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Mai Ya'er came over and helped her to throw the snow particles on her head because of the wind.
Li Kongzhu shook his head when he heard this, "It's not long since I've just had breakfast."
As she said that, she pulled her hand off her head, and the two of them held each other's arms and said, "Let's go! Since there are not many people, let's go shopping early, and go back as soon as we finish shopping. Oh yes, later I have to go to Huifu to see if Hui Niang is back. If she comes back, I will take this opportunity to ask how the hawthorn market is doing."
"Ok!"
Mai Ya'er nodded, pulled her and walked quickly, "Let's go! Let's hurry up!"
"it is good!"
A group of people laughed and entered the city gate, and as soon as they entered, they started to go shopping in various shops.
Li Diaozhu bought a lot of dry goods, saying that he had enough meat.Bought firecrackers and pairs.When I was in a good mood for shopping, I followed Mai Ya'er to the embroidery shop and bought two nets to hang on my body.
Stopping and walking, Zhao Junyi went from indifference at the beginning to doubts flashing in his eyes, and then his eyes began to become dangerous.
When he arrived at Sishi, the danger in his eyes disappeared again, and he became as if nothing had happened.
Waiting for the big and small packages to fill up the basket, when Li Kongzhu and Mai Ya'er both felt that they had bought enough, they discussed going to Huifulai.
He turned his head to greet the two big men with baskets on their backs, then turned around and headed northwest.
Since the shop hadn't opened yet, when they arrived, they saw that the door of the shop was closed tightly. Compared with the bustling and noisy surroundings, the cold courtyard seemed particularly lonely.
Seeing that the store door was closed, the group felt a little uncertain.
She still has some impressions of Li Kongzhu, Hui Niang's natal family, but she doesn't know anything about her newly married man.
"Why don't you try knocking on the door?" Mai Ya'er tried to suggest.
Li Kongzhu also nodded.
After several people climbed the steps, Li Kongzhu tried to knock a few times.
"No response!" Withdrew his hand, and exchanged glances with Mai Ya'er, "Maybe he hasn't come back yet!"
"go back?"
"Ok!"
Li Kongzhu responded, not noticing the flicker in the eyes of the man behind him.
Just as the group turned around and were about to go back.
The door panel that reached the door squeaked a few times, and when a few people turned their heads in surprise, they saw that the tightly closed door panel had been removed.
"It's you?!"
Li Chong who opened the door blinked his sleepy eyes. When he saw them, he didn't seem too surprised and took off the door panel.
"come in!"
Li Kongzhu: "Will it be inconvenient?"
"No! I'm already awake. I happen to have something to ask you about Fucheng!"
When they heard it was about Fucheng, everyone hurried in.
Once inside, Hui Niang lifted the curtain to welcome her out.Called a few people to the room behind the curtain, "The hall is too cold to burn the stove, go inside! Head of the house, you go back to the inner room to wash your clothes first, I have prepared the water for you and put it there."
"Yeah!" Li Chong nodded, stretched out his hand and beckoned to let them advance.
Several people entered the separated outer room and sat down one after another.
Hui Niang quickly placed the tea bowl she took out, and took the kettle from the burning stove to pour water for several people. "I was planning to go to Zhaojia Village when the ringing ring came, but I didn't think so, but you came first. It's just right, so I don't have to go again, so I'll tell you about it now!"
After pouring the tea, she pushed it in front of several people, "Come on, drink some hot water to warm up first."
Li Kongzhu smiled and took a few sips of the tea bowl first.
Seeing this, Mai Ya'er knew that she was really in a hurry, so she quickly imitated her and started drinking from the teacup.
Li Chong, who had gone to the inner room to wash his face, came out at this time, and confessed to Hui Niang, "I'll go shopping and come back early, what do you want to eat?"
"See if there is any tofu nao in Dongji, if there is, buy me a bowl and come back!"
"to make!"
Then he was ready to go out of the house.
Seeing this, Zhao Junyi stood up, "I'm with you."
"?" Li Chong looked puzzled.
Zhao Junyi didn't intend to explain further, and walked in front of him, "Let's go!"
Li Kongzhu looked at his hand lifting the curtain, and frowned, "Head?"
"Come back soon!" The man didn't turn his head to look at her, but after he finished his sentence, he lifted the curtain and walked out.
Li Chong turned his eyes to look at Hui Niang, and Hui Niang looked at Li Kongzhu questioningly.
Li Kongzhu laughed silently in his heart, and nodded to Hui Niang.
Seeing this, Li Chong on the side clearly followed the curtain and walked out.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.
Hui Niang reached out and shook the hand beside her, "It's nothing serious!"
"It's okay!" Li Kongzhu, who had recovered, shook his head.
He has important things to do, and he has no right to interfere. If he thinks too much, it's just mediocrity.
Withdrawing his hand from her, he took another sip of water from the bowl in a nonchalant manner.He started to ask about the trip to Fucheng, "Is it going well?"
"It's going well!" Hui Niang stared at her face and looked again and again, seeing that there was nothing wrong, she was relieved.
He said again: "The old lady likes the hawthorn cake very much. It is soft and delicious to eat. The brothers and sisters in the mansion love the hawthorn strips and fruit peel very much. When I left, the grandma specially asked me to meet again."
She paused, "Just wait for a while." While speaking, she got up and walked towards the inner room.
Li Kongzhu and the others sat there and waited for a while, and when she came out of the inner room, she came out with a carved wooden box in her hand.
After placing it on the table, he tapped the lid of the box with his fingertips, "Open it and take a look!"
Hearing this, Li Kongzhu stretched out his hand to open the box with some doubts.
As soon as he opened it, his eyes were immediately attracted by the shining silver.
Hui Niang drank the hot water in the bowl and continued: "This is 20 taels of fixed silver. I'm afraid this year, you will have a hard time."
Li Kongzhu stroked the four small silver ingots shining with silver light, "When will the delivery be delivered?"
"It must be sent there on New Year's Eve." It is already 26 now, which means that it can only be done early in the morning on 29 at the latest.
"How much?"
"Compared to the good family, the family's crystal cake is at least three or four catties. I'm afraid it can't be lowered by as much as a hundred catties!"
"Suck!" Mai Ya'er sucked at the side so much that even the hand holding the bowl trembled.
Li Kongzhu put the lid on calmly, looked at her and asked, "I don't know what price Sister Hui Niang ordered?"
"Crystal cake is two taels of silver a catty! Hawthorn sticks are half a tael of silver."
"Oh!"
Mai Ya'er was really scared.The embarrassment of the tea bowl falling to the ground made her blush and squat down to pick it up.
Even a big man like Zhao Mengzi who was beside him could not take it anymore and covered his heart.
Li Kongzhu was quite surprised.
Two taels of silver, five hundred wen?That net profit is more than one or two taels of silver!
"You and I will split the money earned [-]-[-]. Of course, the costs here are all counted together."
Li Kongzhu nodded, and pushed back the 20 taels of silver to her: "Since this is the case, sister Hui will be responsible for the supply of rock sugar yokan. At that time, you and I will draw up a contract, and the net profit will be [-]%! "
"Okay!" Hui Niang didn't say anything pretentious, and took the box back, which was considered her request.
Li Kongzhu nodded his thanks, and the group began to discuss how to price the hawthorn cakes and hawthorn sticks in the town after the store opened.
"If you don't sell and buy according to the high, middle, and low grades. For big households, two or two and five hundred yuan, you can use high-priced syrup like rock sugar to cook the whole process. Medium-sized ones use white sugar to remove the sour taste more thoroughly. Low-grade The only thing is to add a small amount of sugar to retain a certain degree of sour taste. In this way, the shop can attract customers from all walks of life to come and consume.”
"That's a good idea." Hui Niang nodded.
Li Kongzhu was still worried, "It's nothing else, I'm afraid the crystal cake will arouse the jealousy of many parties. Ms. Hui Niang may be sure that there is a safe way?"
Could it be that the people of Qi Mansion are not angry?After all, he is a slave, if he becomes popular.How will the master think about it?
When Hui Niang frowned and thought about going back to the mansion, she intentionally made a detour and expressed her willingness to share with the Qi mansion.
But at that time, the eldest grandma of the Qi Mansion didn't show any interest, and just told her to do things with peace of mind.
If in the future...
"Let's settle down like this first!" Hui Niang was also a little uncertain.
Li Kongzhu nodded, and he could only wait until the Chinese New Year batch was sent away, and then opened the shop.
Thinking of the quantity to be done, she felt a headache again, fearing that this time she would have to find some reliable people to help!
While talking, Li Chong bought some food and came back.
When he entered the room, Li Kongzhu inadvertently looked behind the curtain he opened, and saw that there was no figure of a man.His brows furrowed a little.
Hui Niang at the side saw it and gave her man a wink.
Li Chong understood, and said calmly, "He said he was going on the same road with me, but he bypassed the one who said he had something else to do." After all, he was not very familiar with each other, so he couldn't drag a big man straight. Ask where to go!
After hearing this, Li Kongzhu didn't reveal anything.
He only smiled and called the couple, and went to Zhaojia Village the next day, "Let's go back to prepare the fruit today. Tomorrow, Miss Hui will come to my house after drawing up the contract. I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower for the introduction. Cook this fruit." One piece, I think it’s better to buy it yourself.”
After Hui Niang heard this, she was a little surprised, "Wait for me for a while, after dinner. I will negotiate a contract with you. After you and I sign it, we will go back to the village by car. We have a donkey cart. Too long."
While talking, she hurriedly called her man, "Master, you go to your friend's place to get the donkey cart, and after dinner, follow them back to the village."
Li Kongzhu really wanted to refuse, but now she felt a little bit in her heart.
But seeing that Hui Niang had already stretched out her hand to hold her hand, she had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay!"
……
After the couple finished their meal and drew up a contract.A group of people put the big and small bags on the donkey cart led by Li Chong, got into the cart, and Li Chong drove them towards the city gate.
Meanwhile, Zhao Junyi never returned.
Mai Ya'er and Zhao Mengzi muttered to each other several times, but Li Kongzhu pretended not to hear them.
Just when he was about to get in the car and leave, Mai Ya'er couldn't help but asked, "Why don't you go and look for it! What are you going to buy? Why have you been walking for so long?"
Hui Niang also said to wait, and Li rushed over, ready to let him and Zhao Mengzi go to the street to search.
Li Kongzhu held back, "He has his own things to do, don't worry about it. He will come back when it gets dark!"
"Sister-in-law..." Mai Ya'er and his wife more or less knew about Zhao Junyi's martial arts skills.It wasn't surprising to see her, so I guessed that she might know something.
Li Kongzhu nodded at her, "Don't worry about it, get in the car!"
Mai Ya'er suddenly understood, she nodded and came over to support her, and climbed towards the car together.
Hui Niang was a little confused, she turned her head to look at her for a while, and saw that the two had already entered the carriage.Then he sighed and ordered: "Let's go, let's go!"
And Zhao Junyi here.
After separating from Li Chong, they headed in the direction of the person who had been following them secretly.
Soon after entering the city, he discovered that he was being followed.
He didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend at first, but he didn't realize it until the other party had been deliberately keeping a loophole waiting for him to find out.
There is some urgency in his heart, but his face is extremely calm.
After the follower saw him turn around, he didn't intentionally show his flaws again, but there were still a few traces of him that could be traced.
Searching for a few spider threads along the way, they traced to an extremely westward area.
Most of the houses in this area are poor houses.
The houses are generally not big, and the walls are also very old. The paths pass through, and the walls are very close and narrow.
What's more, the courtyard walls of some houses collapsed a lot due to disrepair. Under the warm winter sun, they looked extremely gray and depressed.
Looking for the last clue, he slowly walked to a very simple small house.
He looked up at the closed single black door on the steps.Due to the age, many mottled paint stains have fallen off, revealing the original color of green wood inside.
Stepping forward calmly, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door.
"Creak!" Not surprisingly, I heard the sound of the door opening.
Stepping in, I saw that there was another world inside.
It's not as good as the depression of the location.On the contrary, the courtyard was kept fairly neat and tidy.The yard is paved with stone slabs, which is not as good as the dirt in the poor street area.
There are three small bungalows in the style, and the main hall door is wide open in the middle.
When the people inside heard the sound of him pushing the door, a clear and clear mocking voice came, "Long time no see, son of the Jun family! Jun Yizhi!"
The man's face didn't change, only his thin pink lips were slightly drawn.
Step by step, even if you are limping, you walk very smoothly and upright!
The person sitting at the head of the main hall, seeing his resolute and upright figure, could not help but narrow his narrow eyes.In the next moment, he looked at someone who was getting closer and closer with a hint of evil light.
The corner of Si's mouth was raised in complacency, "I never thought that I would be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger like this. Since I have hidden such an extremely important person, is this a good thing or a disaster?"
The person at the top clapped his hands while talking, with a pair of extremely beautiful brows raised on his face, looked at the man who had already entered the room and asked, "Brother Yi, what do you think?"
The man pursed his lips and looked at the person above him, "What do you think the fourth prince of Changing Kingdom?"
The person at the top raised one eyebrow without being surprised, "It turns out that Brother Yi already knew my identity! You have so clearly aroused my doubts and tempted me to explore. I should say that you want to do it for me. Are you looking for a backer? Or are you trying to use me?"
Zhao Junyi raised his eyes and looked at him, not afraid of the intimidation in his eyes, but said very sincerely: "There are all of them!"
Cui Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed amusedly again, "You are so bold, so you are not afraid of me getting angry and turning your face?"
"The fourth prince is thinking about employing people now. Although Bianguo is rich, it is not as strong as Jingguo's army. It is only because Jinghuang is a fool."
Dare to say it!
Cui Jiu squinted his eyes and shook his head, and smiled for a moment, "Eight years ago, after the Jun family ransacked and beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, the military strength of the Jing Kingdom may not have been as strong as it was back then. You know, the ancestors of the Jun family So far, to the soldiers of the army, the commanders of all generations, it is undoubtedly a symbol of the military spirit. Over the years, this king has been well aware of the affairs of Jingguo!"
When the person at the bottom heard about the affairs of the Jun family, he couldn't help but quietly squeezed his hands hidden in his sleeves.There was a cold look on his face and he didn't express too much emotion.
The person above looked at his expression from the corner of his eyes from time to time, and saw that although his face was cold, he did not show much anger or annoyance.
I couldn't help but opened my mouth and said slowly: "When the Jun family ransacked all the families back then, it was reported to this king by the secret work of changing the country hidden in Yasukuni. At that time, this king was very regretful. You know, the members of the Jun family, All of them are brave and warlike, and they often guard the extremely bitter and cold place, and they often cause headaches to the generals of the enemy's country. There is even a rumor among the people that if you win the Jun's family, you will get half of the world. It can be seen , the Jun family has a very high reverence in the hearts of the people of Jingguo."
After finishing speaking, he went to look at the person who was next to him.Seeing that he still has a cold face, and the expression on his face is still indistinguishable.It's as if what he said is just another person's business to him, and he is not the person in that game.
He stopped his sitting posture, and then changed another posture to sit together.Putting her hand on her chin, she looked at him very curiously, and said "tsk tsk".
"It's really so ruthless?" After a pause, he smiled narrowly, "If you are so ruthless, why bother to save me? Why did you come here knowingly?"
"Everything is merciless, whether there is sensuality or not is not what you can see with the naked eye!" Eyes can see people, and they can deceive people the most.
If the hand he hid in his sleeve hadn't been pinched beyond recognition by himself, who would know the pain in his heart?
After hearing this, the person above became a little silent.
When he raised his eyes to look at him, he smiled again and said: "You can come here, it has already explained everything. You are not afraid that I will deliberately accept you and hand you over to Yasukuni? You know, there is a difference between Bianguo and Yasukuni. , at least on the surface, they still have a good relationship."
"If the truth is on good terms, how could you allow an assassin to assassinate you, the Fourth Prince, on the border of Yasukuni?" The man's eyes flashed sarcasm, but he still didn't have much emotion in what he said.
"Hmph!" Cui Jiu snorted coldly.His good emperor brother, for the sake of the upper position, is really unscrupulous.Now he was thinking of going back and giving him a good blow. "You are very clear. How do you know that it was not Yasukuni who wanted to assassinate me?"
"Of course not!" The man said sarcastically, "How can the Nine Kings of Yasukuni have the extra thought to deal with Lin Guo?" The big benefit is.
Cui Jiu nodded amusedly, "Yes! Today's Jingguo is almost dominated by the Nine Kings. As for the king of Jingguo...heh!"
It's just an old pervert who indulges in wine and sex all day long.
As for why the Nine Kings haven't dared to move him so far, I'm afraid it's an elite secret guard in the hands of the emperor!
Cui Jiu stretched out his hand to ask him to sit down, "It's been so long and I haven't invited you to sit down, but I'm being rude to others. Brother Yi, come here, just sit here!"
Zhao Junyi glanced at it, the place he stretched out was the same position as his superior.
He lowered his eyes and didn't pay attention, but sat in the first position on the left hand side of the lower head.
Cui Jiu raised his eyebrows, "It's quite polite. How can I remember that the person who gave me the medicine back then didn't have this awareness?"
"This moment, that moment!" Someone said very calmly, his expression unchanged.
After Cui Jiu heard this, although he was extremely upset, he just let out a cold sigh.
"Brother Yiyi is here, have you decided to choose a side?"
"nature!"
"What about Yasukuni?" Don't you fear being hated by the people of Yasukuni?
"If you want to come to the people of Yasukuni, you also hope to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible!"
Really dare to say.Cui Jiu shook his head and laughed for a while.No matter what it is, how can anyone be willing to be a subjugated slave?
Zhao Junyi's hands had already been pinched until he lost consciousness, hearing his laughter again and again.The corner of his mouth was raised coldly, so what if he doesn't betray the country?Haven't you been labeled as a collaborator?If you don't choose a side, you will be a scapegoat sooner or later.
In this case, he will carry out the crime of treason.In this case, choose a side and stand.
Just like what she said, opportunities that come for nothing, if you don't grab them, don't grab them for nothing!Since he was allowed to seize this opportunity, then it should be his opportunity for revenge!
"I have to ask the Fourth Prince for something!" Ping tried hard to extinguish the anger that suddenly ignited.The man asks for something else.
"What's the matter?"
He said solemnly: "When I was hunted down by the secret guards back then, I was already betrayed by someone close to me and poisoned by the Yasukuni imperial family. Although I was aware of it before, half of it was forced out with internal strength, but half of it has been for many years. It has been stored in the body for as long as eight years. Although it is not fatal, it often needs to be suppressed with internal force when it is repeated, and the power is not even half developed, which is quite troublesome!"
"Oh? Is there a solution?" Cui Jiu asked with a serious face after hearing this.
"Yes! It is made from a unique herbal medicine of Yasukuni, which grows in the extreme north. In the Imperial Palace Hospital, there is an imperial doctor who specializes in imperial medicine!"
"So, just hand it over to the king!"
"Thank you, Fourth Prince!" Listening to his help.Zhao Junyi stood up straight away, bowing his hands to him.
The corner of Cui Jiu's mouth twitched inadvertently.Looking at him, he smiled for a while.Instead, she pretended to be reasonable, and now she actually started to reason with him.
"However, I'm afraid it will take some time to get the antidote!"
"Defenseless!" He has been waiting for so many years, and he doesn't really care about waiting a little longer.
Seeing this, Cui Jiu nodded and talked about the matter of leaving, "Now that the New Year's Eve is coming, this king is thinking of going back to Beijing to give my father and brother a big surprise. There are some things that need to be dealt with. I want to come and see you again. I'm afraid it will take some time. Brother Yi, are you willing to walk with me?"
now?For a brief moment in the man's mind, the beautiful and bright face of the woman appeared.In the next moment, it quickly disappeared again.
Now that he is burdened with a bloody family feud, the matter of love between his sons and daughters should not be what he should be talking about right now.
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands again and saluted, "Minister... yes!"
Cui Jiu was taken aback.The next second he laughed again, "Brother Yi, you really have a heart of stone. Come to think of it, if I asked you to walk with me immediately, you would not hesitate."
Thinking of the woman in his family who is good at making snacks.Although he hasn't been in contact with him for a long time, he is an unforgettable person, with special and intelligent behavior.
How could he really be willing to give up such a beautiful and intelligent woman?So without hesitation, is there not even a trace of nostalgia?
Cui Jiu looked at the person next to him who was still indifferent, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the woman he had been friends with for a few days.
Knowing that someone who was tricked did not show much anger.
Tranquility put his hands on his sides, and gave a very indifferent answer, "Yes!"
"Is there no one you care about?" Someone still asked in disbelief. After all, a husband and wife, like this, is too chilling.
Zhao Junyi raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
Cui Jiu knew that he had asked something private that shouldn't be asked, so he shut up very wisely and didn't ask any more questions.
He put his hand on the palm of his hand and patted it a few times, and when he waved to let him sit down again, he said: "The time is not yet ripe for going back this time. I'm afraid it's better to invite Brother Yi to continue hiding here. After all, the capital city If you inadvertently find out your true identity, as well as those who are close friends with Yasukuni, you may be in a very dangerous situation if it is to please the cooperative Yasukuni!"
Zhao Junyi sat down, and when he heard that he was not asked to follow immediately, for some reason, he was actually relieved.
"I just obey the arrangement of the fourth prince!"
"Since that's the case, Brother Yi, just wait for the good news from me!"
"Yes!"
The conversation between the two ended here.
A consensus was reached, seeing that there was nothing more to say, Zhao Junyi got up, made a gesture to say goodbye and wanted to leave.
Cui Jiu nodded in agreement, but when he was leaving the house, he still asked in a puzzled voice, "You knew my identity when you rescued me that day, or did you find out after you rescued me?"
"When I was saving the fourth prince that day, I saw your dragon pattern jade pendant hidden on your waist!"
"Then how did you determine my real identity?" He was curious about this.Although a jade pendant with dragon patterns, it can be confirmed that it is a member of the royal family.But there are so many people in the royal family, how does he know that he is a prince, not a county king or prince in Pianzhili?Furthermore, as soon as he entered the door, he accurately called himself the fourth prince, how did he know it?
"Bianguo heard the news that the prince was sent to visit the country, and when the fourth prince woke up that day, he told his wife the surname Cui, and he was ranked ninth.
The former empress of the current emperor of Bianguo, her natal family came from the Duke's mansion surnamed Cui, and the four princes ranked ninth among her grandchildren. "
As he spoke, he turned around, "I was forced to jump from that watershed back then."
So, he has been thoroughly touched in all aspects?Cui Jiu had a dark face, thinking that when he was trapped in that small house, he wanted to break his head but never figured out which hero he was.I once wondered if he was a knight-errant who was tired of fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, and purposely lived in seclusion here.
Now it seems that it is really too bad.
"Let's go!" Cui Jiu waved him to go quickly.
After Zhao Junyi cupped his hands again, he walked out.
After he completely disappeared in the courtyard, a person came quickly from the dark, stood beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Master wants to use this person?"
"Members of the Jun family must use it!"
"But..." Thinking of that man's unruly appearance, I'm afraid it's hard to obey him.In addition, it is so easy to betray the country, if you take refuge here, will you do the same thing in the future?
Cui Jiu raised his hand to stop the visitor from saying any more, "The members of the Jun family can guard the extremely miserable land, and they have not betrayed their hearts for a hundred years. Don't underestimate it."
"……Yes!"
Waved to let the person come down, Cui Jiu stood in the room with his hands behind his back.Looking at the extremely bright winter light outside, he curled his lips into a sneer.
After Li Kongzhu and the others returned to the village, they began to discuss the matter of fruit picking.
Due to the need for a lot of raw materials, Li Kongzhu wanted to ask Cui Jiu to find his friends who used to form a hunting team.
"Thinking about this season, I wouldn't go up the mountain to hunt every day. Why don't I invite someone who has time to help pick a few backs. Of course, there is no reason to help pick. Harvesting by the catty, one Half a catty!"
In this way, whoever has nothing to do, just follow the mountain to pick for a day, and if they want to get one or two hundred catties, it will not be a problem at all.
If you can pick a hundred or ten essays in one day, it is already considered a very good market.
Zhao Mengzi pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, then I will go to a few houses that live closer to ask now, and while the meeting is still early, I should be able to pick up two backs when the ringing rings!"
"Okay!" Li Kongzhu just nodded his head when he got up.
Seeing this, Mai Ya'er quickly stuffed him with the steamed buns he bought when he came back twice, "Let's stuff some! Make it delicious tonight!"
"Hey!" Zhao Mengzi nodded with a smile and took it, then lifted the curtain and left the room.
Li Diaozhu also talked about harvesting hawthorn fruit.
"I'm afraid I have to run farther. That day, brother Mengzi collected a car and came back. He said that he was going to a very remote valley. Because the valley is poor, he rarely goes out to do business. It's a bargain for us."
"It's nothing, I can go to other villages to ask some hunters. If anyone wants to earn this money, they will know where there are red ones in the mountains!" Li Chong answered the words very calmly. Said: "This external matter, leave it to me!"
Hui Niang echoed from the side, "Don't worry about him handling things, after running away for so many years, he will know how to handle things."
Li Kongzhu smiled, "I have nothing to worry about, sister Hui Niang is much smarter than a fool like me!"
"Again, isn't it a joke?" She patted her and said angrily, "You're not bad, don't worry about anything, I'm always distracted watching you!"
Li Kongzhu smiled unnaturally, although he forced to talk about things to forget some things he didn't want to think about, but he still had some worries in his heart.
"It's nothing serious. I'll understand when he comes back. It's just that I'm a little worried!"
Hui Niang also sighed, "Who wants to marry such a gourd? All you can do is guess!"
"Cough!" Li Chong beside him coughed unnaturally.
Li Kongzhu gave the two of them a meaningful look, and only talked about others.Isn't she like that too?
Smiling and shaking his head, Li Kongzhu went on to discuss with them the issue of accommodation, and let them stay at Mai Ya'er's house.
And she still has to go find Mrs. Wang in a while, and ask her to help find a few people.
This time, I'm afraid it will take a few more people.
After discussing it, a few people cooked a hot soup with the buns and steamed buns they bought back, and settled the lunch simply.
After eating, Mai Ya'er went home next to Hui Niang and the others.
Li Kongzhu then went to Li Changchang, looking for Mrs. Wang, and asked her to help find two more people.
It is best to have two on the first day and four on the second day.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had an idea in her heart, and she just wanted to put her at ease as a guarantee.
After arranging these things, Li Kongzhu went home alone.
When I got home, I saw that Zhao Junyi hadn't come back yet.
The bitter astringent feeling in her heart began to emerge little by little because there was no place for outsiders at this moment, and it was so bitter that her heart ached a little.
Going to the kitchen, took out the sugar bowl, dug a few rock sugar into his mouth, pretended to be very comfortable, squinted his eyes, and smiled softly, "It's so sweet!"
Holding the jar in his arms, he stepped out.
Walking to the main house, he took off his shoes and got on the kang, and lay down on the kang table.After waiting for the candy in his mouth to melt, he dug another piece into his mouth and said again, "It's so sweet!"
She talked a lot over and over again, just when she thought the astringency in her heart was about to disappear.
The door opened unexpectedly.
The person who came in was tall and tall with cold eyes.
A face, half of which is magnificent, and half of which is covered with thorns.It's normal not to walk.When walking, it will limp.
The person staring at him was lying on the table and kept licking the rock candy in his mouth.
Looking at him, he smiled magnificently, "Master, are you leaving?"
