The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 196 Fireworks Shop
I thought about it, but still got no results. The person who investigated Xie Fanghua hasn't heard back yet. Although Xie Fanghua's eyes are vicious, he doesn't have any substantive actions at present, so he can let it go for now.

I then asked Qiu Jinzi about the situation at the Qingguan.

She said that she had already found out that the Ziqing Pavilion was a dark spot of Baili Tianqi, and from this investigation, she found out his other two dark spots.

One is a firework shop, and the other is actually a bank.

She also found out that the fireworks shop in Baili Tianqi has been buying a large amount of materials for making fireworks recently, saying that it is for the needs of the New Year. The two large warehouses are full of gunpowder, but no craftsmen are hired to make flowers.

She found it strange, and after careful investigation, she found that the shop did not buy crispy yellow paper for making fireworks and firecrackers, but bought a large amount of thick butter paper.Moreover, every two days, a cart of things would be transported out of the city, and the other party was very vigilant, and she even lost it last time.

thick butter paper...out of town...

I was also puzzled at first, but then I thought that among Baili Tianqi's guests, there is a person who is good at strange obscenity and skill.At that time, he studied a mechanism swing that could throw boulders forward hundreds of meters away.

After not seeing each other for a few years, that Keqing naturally researched a lot of rare things. He was able to successfully break through Beili this time, and that Keqing was indisputable.

Could it be that he has researched something strange again...

Pyrotechnic materials, butter paper, these two things, what can be researched?

Seeing my suspicious expression, Qiu Jin said, "Master, at Xu time today, it's time for that fireworks shop to transport things out of the city again. Qiu Jin must follow carefully today, and I won't get lost again."

I was curious and wanted to see it for myself, so I gave a simple command, and she agreed.

I ordered again, "Go and check the third son of the Jingdaotai family, but you should go to the Yulin Courtyard to find Mr. Qingfeng. If you still go, then send someone to spread rumors that a young master in the Ziqing Pavilion has taken a fancy to Qingfeng." Young master, if you want to redeem yourself and choose him to enter the curtain, the more violent the spread, the better."

"Yes." She replied, and jumped out of the window.

For some reason, seeing her jumping out of the window, I can always think of Xuanyuan Chen. I haven't heard from him for a few days, and I really miss him.

I talked briefly, and when I looked back and saw the Four Treasures of the Study that I was catching up with, I walked over with a thought.

After adjusting the ink and dipping the pen, a line drawing portrait appeared vividly on the paper in a short while.

The man in the portrait is wearing a brocade fish robe, with high bun hair, a smiling face, and a pair of beautiful peach eyes, full of tenderness.

I stared at the portrait for a while, and my heart skipped a few times, and what was rippling in my mind was his appearance in the big red wedding gown.

"Little girl, your brother and brother are here to marry you." He smiled slightly in his mind, took two steps, and lifted my hijab...

As soon as my face became hot, I quickly put the portrait away and stuffed it into the scroll painting porcelain.

Even though there were not many words in the conversation in court today, I felt very tired.Lu Zhu brought a cup of ginger syrup. After I drank it, I felt warm and comfortable.

It was supposed to be lunch time, but I felt drowsy, thinking about taking a nap, when I opened my eyes, it was already the end of the day.

Lu Zhu was waiting by the couch, seeing me wake up, she hurriedly said, "Miss, the Prince Yu is here, and I know you will sleep again, so I won't let you come over to call me. I have been waiting in the living room for half an hour."

I got up and dressed, and when I walked to the living room, Helian Yunzhang had already finished the tea in his cup.

"Wake up." He looked up, smiling.

I responded, and walked over to sit on the chair next to him, Qingteng hurriedly exchanged new tea for the two of us.I drank it as before, and asked straight to the point, "Prince Yu is here, is there something wrong?"

He smiled, "Why, it's okay, can't I come over and have a look?"

I didn't answer for a while, so I just bowed my head and took a sip of tea soup.

Since the last time, King Zenn used my name to reverse the defeat, the two of us haven't seen each other.It was originally planned to cooperate, but recently, the other party is very strict, and I don't know how to start it for the time being, so I can only keep a low profile.

Besides, I drew a lottery at the Qing Chan Division that day. If I put it in the past, I would never believe the words of this lottery. However, it is better to be cautious in this critical period.

He smiled, put down the teacup, tapped casually with his long fingers, and suddenly asked me, "Qingmu, if the emperor doesn't listen to you and promises you to Prince Dongmu in court today, will you marry?"

I smiled slightly and asked him back, "What does your lord think?"

He didn't know what he thought of, shook his head and smiled, took a sip from the tea cup.

"Qingmu..." he called out.

"En." I looked at him sideways, his eyes were deep and deep, and finally shook his head and said nothing.

"You look good." He said softly.

"Hmm." I replied.

The two of us talked occasionally, and after drinking a cup of tea, he said his farewell.

After she left, Lu Zhu was beside her with a troubled expression on her face. I asked her if something was wrong. She thought about it, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, although this Prince Yu is gentle, he is also the person that many Xiqi girls dream of marrying. He already has a Zheng Wangfei. He is much worse than the emperor's younger brother, Chen Wang, so don't change your mind!"

I suddenly had a dark cloud, what is this and what...

Also, this is my servant girl, why is she looking at me for Xuanyuan Chen...

Seeing that I was silent, Luzhu became even more anxious, "Miss, you don't really care about this Prince Yu, do you, don't do it!"

I was amused by her appearance, "How is it possible, don't talk nonsense."

Luzhu seemed worried, and actually began to count Xuanyuanchen's good things in my ear.

This girl is also really good at eloquence. She started talking since she was a child, and she talked non-stop for nearly half an hour. Finally, seeing my face change, she stopped talking.

At the end, she said again, "Miss, I asked Brother Donghu just now, and Brother Donghu said that His Royal Highness Prince Chen will be back soon after finishing handling the important matter."

I recognized Duan Mi, and asked her intentionally, "Did Brother Dong Hu say when will you come back?"

She shook her head seriously, "Brother Donghu didn't say anything, he only told the servants this. He doesn't know much about the rest."

I nodded, "Oh, so you brother Donghu didn't tell you."

Luzhu reacted instantly, her face flushed red.

"Oh miss, what are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said you, Brother Donghu..." I still deliberately teased her.

"The servant's kitchen is still stewing sugar water, I have to go and see, that's what the lady wants to eat later." After finishing speaking, she hurried out in a hurry.He walked so fast that he almost stepped on the corner of his skirt.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw her cute face.

How old is Lu Zhu than I am, long past the marriageable age, that Donghu is straightforward and honest, he is really a nice person.If the two of them can succeed, Luzhu will have a good home.

It's really fate, and I can't stop it. Who would have thought that Lu Zhu, who was patting her heart and saying that she would stay by my side for the rest of her life, would also have such a time.

At this time, I thought of Chuqi again.If everyone is fine, it will be fine.

Not long after, Qingteng knocked on the door and brought in a cup of sweet porridge.

I drank it slowly, took another thick book, and studied it under the lamp. When it was near, I retreated to the left and right, changed into a dark night clothes, put out the candle and jumped from the window to the roof.

After leaving the Princess's Mansion, he headed east all the way, and found Qiu Jin who had been waiting there earlier.

"Master." She called out, leading me to jump lightly all the way, stopped on a high-tiled roof, and quickly ducked to hide.

I am naturally close to the tile roof.

"Master, the door on the right is the back door of the firework shop. They will come out in a while."

I responded and waited patiently.Fortunately, today is a sunny day, and the snow on the roof has melted. Otherwise, the two of us are dressed in black, so it would be easy to be spotted.

After waiting for two cups of tea, the door on the right opened.Two people came out of the door. They were pushing a cart. There was a huge wooden barrel on the cart. Although it was covered, there was still a pungent stench flying out.

This is……

Dung barrels for night incense...

Qiu Jin replied in a low voice, "Master, the top of the bucket is night incense, and the bottom is the medicine for making fireworks. This firework shop does not employ craftsmen, and there are only a dozen people including the boss. How can there be such a big barrel of night incense every two days?" After careful inspection, I found something strange."

It turned out to be the case.

At this time, two more people came out of the door, and together with the two before, they supported the car and walked towards the city gate. Qiu Jin and I followed behind.
