The moment Ji Wan was splashed, the hairs all over her body stood on end. She is a person who can't bear even a broken hair, but now she is turned into a vegetable bag! The strong smell of ghee mixed with the smell of Ningxiang fat powder made her stomach churn, and she almost vomited it out on the spot!
The blood flowed back quickly, rushing to the top of the head, smoke from the seven orifices, the face was flushed, the neck was thickened, the fists were clenched, and the whole body was shaking!
who
Who is so bold as to pour dirty water on her head? !
She raised her head coldly, and saw Xu Shi who was even more shocked than her.
Mrs. Xu really didn't understand where this lady came from. She clearly aimed at Mrs. Da Qiao just now. In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Da Qiao's mother and child disappeared, but this lady grew out of the ground!
The circle in the capital is neither big nor small. Before Qiao Yuxi and Ji Mingxiu talked about marriage, the Xu family had never had any intersection with the Ji family. Because of Ji Wan's refusal, she has not been able to meet her, so when Ji Wan, who Xu's heart misses, stood in front of her, she didn't recognize her identity at all.
However, when Ji Mingxiu got off the carriage with a child in his arms, walked up to Ji Wan, and looked up at her, she seemed to have guessed something.
Ji Mingxiu handed Ji Wan a handkerchief.
Ms. Ji, who grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth, has never been in such a state of embarrassment. She was still in front of the public, and the originally deserted street seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, bringing all the onlookers here.
Ji Wan glanced coldly at the crowd, took the handkerchief Ji Mingxiu handed over, and went upstairs angrily.
Knowing that she had caused a catastrophe, Mrs. Xu wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly out of the window.
Ji Wan soon came to Mrs. Xu's wing, walked up to Mrs. Xu in a few steps, grabbed the cup on the table and slammed it at Mrs. Xu's feet.
Xu jumped up in fright! Pulling the veil tightly, she retreated to the window, and she could fall down with just a slight push.
She looked at Ji Wan in fear: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lin, I didn't mean to..."
"Oh, so you know me." Ji Wan sneered, her voice suddenly sank, "Then you still dare to hit me?!"
Mrs. Xu couldn't tell Ji Wan that it wasn't you but someone else that I splashed. Isn't this obviously saying that Ji Wan is unlucky
Gathering her mind, Xu said: "I was drinking tea by the window just now, and accidentally slipped my hand and spilled it. This time it was my fault, and I apologize to Mrs. Lin!"
Ji Wan said coldly: "Isn't it over with one sentence? I, Ji Wan, am a bully, right? People in the whole capital who want to bully me Ji Wan can line up from the city gate to Yunnan Capital. I forgive you today, and others will Come to imitate you, shall I forgive or not?"
Ji Wan's popularity, especially women's popularity, is hard to describe.
"Mrs. Lin, whether you believe it or not, what happened just now was really a coincidence, and I have no intention of targeting you. I had something to look for you today, and I have already sent someone to the government..."
Ji Wan pointed to the stains all over her head: "This is what you are looking for? Which household? Report your name!"
Mrs. Xu is really shooting herself in the foot, so why should she be angry with Mrs. Da Qiao? He had clearly seized the opportunity to bring her down, but it turned out to be difficult to deal with such a fuss.
Report yourself, lest Ji Wan misunderstand; hide your identity, it's not like Ji Wan can't find out, it's really a dilemma!
Mrs. Xu bit her head and said: "I am the wife of the envoy Qiao, and I offended Mrs. Lin. Please forgive me, Mrs. Lin."
"Qiao Yuan's mistress? No wonder you insulted me! Do you hate my younger brother for putting your daughter and your husband in prison? By the way, my husband is the minister of Dali Temple. Back then, he didn't listen to your pleas, didn't sell your face, He's the one who won't let Court Envoy Qiao be released on bail! You're kind, you're taking revenge on me!"
Look, look, look, she knew that Ji Wan would misunderstand!
She was wronged, she never thought of taking revenge on Ji Wan, Ji Wan had nothing to do with the whole incident, she would only vent her anger on Ji Wan when she was full!
Ji Wan sneered: "I used to disapprove of your daughter's marriage with Mingxiu. You hate me too, don't you? Do you think that Mingxiu's resignation was all caused by me behind the scenes?"
Another motive for committing the crime!
Even if Mrs. Xu jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't get rid of it. She was really going to have a headache!
Mrs. Xu was finally taken away by the Yamen people. To avoid suspicion, Ji Wan called the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. In fact, she just accidentally spilled a cup of butter tea. It is really not a big deal, but Ji Wan has to pursue it. What can people do
Until being dragged out of the teahouse by the officials of the yamen, Mrs. Xu did not get a chance to "chat" Mrs. Da Qiao.
Ji Wan was splashed all over with dirt, and it was impossible to continue to see people, so she told Wang Shu, "I'll see your mother another day", and then got into the carriage and went back to the Duke's Mansion.
Ji Mingxiu took Wangshu in his arms and strolled around North Second Street, and found the mother and son in a small noodle shop. Qiao Wei ordered two bowls of iced mung bean soup, and was eating with her son.
Ji Mingxiu sat down with Wang Shu in his arms.
Wang Shu didn't see her mother for a long time, so she threw herself into Qiao Wei's arms tiredly, acting like a baby.
Qiao Wei wanted to scold her, she could still fall asleep in her arms after acting in a play, she didn't know, she thought it was her own father! But she was so sticky, her little head rubbed against Qiao Wei's neck, melting Qiao Wei's heart.
"There's nothing I can do about you!" Qiao Wei nodded her little head, "Do you want mung bean soup?"
Wang Shu nodded like pounding garlic: "Drink!"
Qiao Wei put Wang Shu on the stool and sat side by side with her son. Jing Yun fed her a spoonful: "Is it sweet?"
"Sweet!" Wang Shu said with a smile.
Qiao Wei gave her a clean spoon, and she and her brother drank in small sips.
One bowl is enough for two little ones, Qiao Wei plans to order another bowl for Ji Mingxiu, but thinking of him as a person who doesn't even eat overnight food, the mung bean soup in this small shop doesn't know how much he can afford His eyes: "Do you drink? If you drink, I will order you a bowl."
"Don't bother." Ji Mingxiu said.
Qiao Wei thought he meant not to drink, so she groaned, and buried her head to drink her own, but just as she picked up a spoonful, she saw a slender jade-like hand reach over and gently took her spoon away, He also took away her bowl.
The bowl is a white porcelain bowl, and the spoon is a white porcelain spoon. There are some flaws, which can be seen to be very cheap. However, being held by such a hand, I feel that the white porcelain is suddenly smooth, and even the slight flaws have a sense of beauty.
He took a sip: "It's quite sweet."
I don't know if it's the soup or the spoon she ate.
"That's what I ate." Qiao Wei reminded.
Ji Mingxiu looked at her and smiled meaningfully: "That's what I ate too."
Qiao Wei didn't realize it at first, when he pointed to the spoon, she thought to herself when did you eat it, why didn't I know? After touching his eyes on her lips, her face flushed red!
After eating, Ji Mingxiu paid the bill and generously rewarded the other party with a small ingot.
Qiao Wei's heart throbbed with heartache, prodigal, prodigal, do you know how many things one tael of silver can buy? One hundred duck eggs, one hundred catties of flour, one hundred catties of rice, ten catties of pork, ten catties of beef, and ten catties of mutton. This amount of food is enough for a farmer to feed for several months, or even longer, because he is reluctant to buy meat. , will be converted into rice and noodles.
Forget it, how could the prince of such a meritorious family understand the sorrow of living at the bottom
He was born to be superior to others, and even if he didn't struggle, he would have no worries for the rest of his life, unlike her, a little widow who worked from morning to night and used one person as three people, but in the end, she couldn't even afford a Babu bed.
After getting into the carriage, Jing Yun was a little sleepy. Qiao Wei hugged him and stroked his back, and he soon fell asleep.
Wang Shu had just slept, not to mention how excited he was, lying on the car window and looking around.
Qiao Wei was very silent.
Ji Mingxiu leaned against her: "Are you still angry?"
Qiao Wei didn't speak.
Ji Mingxiu looked at her: "Are you really angry?"
Can you not be angry? Try taking your daughter 'abducted'
But actually... not that angry.
To be exact, she was already angry. She didn't know his mother had passed away before, and she still wondered why his sister always insisted on his marriage. Now that she knows, she understands his sister's actions up.
Sit down and think about it carefully. In that situation, I might not have done better than him. His sister is too stubborn, if she doesn't come out with a ruthless move, she will definitely not be able to stop her thoughts.
Besides, she was the one who handed Wang Shu to him, and he was the one who asked Wang Shu to chop the rotten peach blossoms for him. If it's really to blame, it's her own bad idea.
It's just that, if you don't get angry, you still have to put on a show, lest he think she is easy to bully.
Ji Mingxiu looked at her pretending to be angry, and his lips curved slightly.
The carriage passed by a shop selling furniture, and Ji Mingxiu asked empathetically, "Is the furniture looking good? Let's take a look again?"
Still... No, I can't afford them all, and it's useless to watch them.
"No, it's already taken care of." She said solemnly.
"Is it settled?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
"Definitely!" She nodded solemnly.
The corner of Ji Mingxiu's lips curled up: "It's fine as long as it's settled."
The wheels spun again, and the carriage left the bustling North Street, entered the relatively empty Pingyang Avenue, and headed south all the way. In the south, there is not only the South Gate to go home, but also Ji Mingxiu's courtyard.
Jing Yun slept soundly in Qiao Wei's arms. He didn't snore, his breathing was even and quiet, and his face was more delicate and charming than his sister's.
Wang Shu stood at Ji Mingxiu's side, raised the side car curtain all the way up, leaned on the car window with a small body, admiring the receding scenery, screaming with excitement.
"Hush—" Qiao Wei gestured for silence, "My brother is sleeping."
Jing Yun is a light sleeper and is easily woken up.
Wang Shu looked back at his brother, and seeing that his brother was really asleep, he hurriedly covered his small mouth, then continued to lie on the car window, opened his mouth wide, and shouted silently.
Ji Mingxiu put his arms around her small body to prevent her from jumping down in excitement.
Wang Shu couldn't tell whether he was excited because he saw the scenery along the way, or because he was protected by "Daddy" in his arms.
Anyway, she is so happy, she really wants to dance, she really wants to dance!
Wang Shu jumped hard, but no matter how she jumped, there was a strong arm tightly protecting her.
Qiao Wei looked at this scene, and her heart was slightly touched. She might not need a husband, but her child needs a father.
Ji Mingxiu's big palm covered her, and held her hand under his wide sleeve.
Qiao Wei moved, trying to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter.
The son was sleeping sweetly in her arms, and the daughter was jumping excitedly in his arms, her hand was wrapped in his broad and warm palm.
No one spoke, a strange smell floated in the quiet carriage for no reason, some warm, some pleasing.
…
Ji Mingxiu asked Qiao Wei to stay, but Qiao Wei refused, why stay? A little widow, a bachelor, good firewood to burn down the house
Qiao Wei returned to the town in a carriage, the sky was completely dark, and the lanterns of the food stalls were lit up. It happened to be the most tender and delicious season of crayfish at this time, and the number of guests who came to taste crayfish was much more than last month , No matter which restaurant's food stalls, business is booming. Of course, Yung Kee is still the most popular. Not only is Yung Kee's big partner full, but the restaurant is also full.
Qiao Wei didn't return to Rongji immediately, but went to a furniture shop first. After comparing the sky-high price of 500 taels of Babu bed in the capital, Qiao Wei felt that the price in the town was very acceptable.
As for the quality, you get what you pay for, there is nothing to say.
Qiao Wei found a relatively high-quality shop. She has been here several times, and the boss recognized her, and welcomed her with a smile: "Ma'am, haven't you decided which one to buy? "
Qiao Wei said bluntly: "Isn't this a lot of going around and a lot of comparisons?"
She was so straightforward that the boss was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed hahahaha: "Madam is such a straightforward person! I see that Madam sincerely wants to buy it, so I won't quarrel with Madam for the price, so let's get out of bed. If Madam wants it, it will be thirty taels; the canopy bed and the Arhat bed are both twenty-five, I really paid the price sincerely!"
In fact, there are simpler wooden beds, the cheapest ones are only one tael of silver, and the most expensive ones are only three or four taels, but now that the living standard has improved, Qiao Wei doesn't like those beds.
Qiao Wei doesn't like the Arhat bed, it's too old-fashioned, the canopy bed is good, you can buy two for the children, and she actually prefers the Babu bed style, like a small house, it feels safe to sleep in.
Qiao Wei didn't have enough money, so she paused and asked, "Can you pay in installments here?"
"What?"
Qiao explained: "That is, I will pay you the money in several installments, and you will charge me a little more interest. I will pay it monthly, whether it will be instalments of half a year or a year. Let's discuss it. The longer the time, the higher the interest." high."
The boss has never tried this method of payment. Generally, it is either cash or pure credit. One-time repayment, or several times, but...a fixed monthly payment—
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "This payment method is very popular in our hometown. You can try it first. If you think it makes money, you can do business with others in the future."
The boss is quite open-minded, after thinking about it, he decided to try with Qiao Wei, and asked Qiao Wei to bring something that can prove her identity to come to draw up a contract tomorrow.
After leaving the furniture store, Qiao Wei and the children were a little hungry, and they were going to Rongji to have some supper, but as soon as they walked to the door, they saw a plate flying out of the door, it was spinning, The speed was extremely fast, and it was about to hit Qiao Wei's forehead. Qiao Wei let go of her son's right hand and grabbed it!
But everything was far from over, and soon a bowl, a spoon, a chopstick, a fish, a chicken flew out of it...
Qiao Wei caught them one by one, and put them into Xiao Baozi's arms one by one.
Two "hills" quickly piled up in the arms of the two little buns.
The little bun opened his eyes wide, with a dazed look on his face.
After catching the unknown number of "hidden weapons", Qiao Wei finally couldn't bear it any longer. She stepped across the threshold and yelled, "Who is it? If you don't eat well, you just throw things there! Who will pay for the damage?"
Xiao Liu at the side: Shouldn't you ask who will pay for the crushed person
The ground was staggering, all of them were "smashed" guys.
The flames of war surrounded the lobby, and there were two guests standing next to each other. One of them was holding a duck leg in his hand and was about to throw it there, but was stunned by Qiao Wei's stern shout; The other person was holding a big goose paw in his hand, and he was about to throw it out, but Qiao Wei also stopped him.
The two first glared at each other, then looked at Qiao Wei in unison, and said in unison: "Get lost!"
After saying the word "roll", the two of them froze.
"Why are you?" The two said in unison again.
The woman said: "You are not allowed to learn how to speak from me!"
The man said: "Obviously you learned how to speak from me!"
Qiao Wei looked at Duo Luo Mingzhu who was holding the duck leg, and then at Li Yu who was holding the big goose paw, her expression turned cold quickly: "What do you want to do? To demolish my restaurant?"
"Is this restaurant yours?"
"Is this restaurant yours?"
As soon as the words fell, the two glared at each other viciously: "You must not learn how to speak like me!"
The two were startled: "You still talk!"
The corners of Qiao Wei's lips twitched, she stepped forward and said, "I'm here for business, not for you to laugh and play. If you want to fight, okay, I'll lead you to the Qinglong Gang. You guys have a good fight." Enough, make sure no one stops you."
Who doesn't know that the Qinglong Gang is the boss of Rhino Town? How dare they go there alone
Li Yu curled his lips, not daring to let it go, he still wanted to show off his prestige: "Forget it, for the sake of the second leader, I won't bother with someone who is unreasonable."
Duo Luo Mingzhu sneered mockingly: "Who doesn't care about whom? Let me tell you, if my father is here, you will lose your life!"
"Can your father beat my fourth brother...'s guard?" Due to some special reasons, the fourth brother can't use his skills casually, otherwise it will be very dangerous, but the fourth brother has seventeen and Yan Feijue, and any one of them will be able to attack. Can beat the father of this stinky girl into meatloaf!
Of course Doro Mingzhu knew that the fourth brother he was referring to was Ji Mingxiu. Ji Mingxiu's guards were famous, especially the Seventeenth, who was invincible all over the capital. Her father was proficient in the art of war and was invincible in every battle. The protector of the country is probably not an opponent of Shi Qi, even if he fights alone.
"You can do it yourself!" She said unconvinced.
"Come on! Come on!" Li Yu took a step closer to her.
Qiao Wei looked at the two noisy little cannons, her eyes hurt: "Xiao Liu, where is Boss Rong?"
Xiao Liu scratched his head, coughed lightly, and pointed to Boss Rong, who had been knocked unconscious by a certain plate and lay unconscious on the ground: "There."
Qiao Wei also convinced Boss Rong, so many people were just smashed into a big bag, why was he so fragile and knocked out directly
It was only now that Li Yu and Duo Luo Mingzhu noticed the chaos they had created, and touched their noses in embarrassment.
Qiao Wei took Boss Rong's pulse and looked at his pupils, and after making sure that there was nothing serious, he was carried back to the accountant's office. Afterwards, he told the rest of the staff that those who could work should work, and those who could not work should go home and rest.
"I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, I... I didn't do it on purpose." Duo Luo Mingzhu came over and said embarrassedly.
She really didn't do it on purpose, she just wanted to teach this ignorant brat a lesson, and she didn't expect that she accidentally hurt others.
Li Yu also walked to Qiao Wei's side: "I didn't mean it either."
Duo Luo Mingzhu pointed at his nose: "Why do you still imitate my speech?"
Li Yu also pointed at her nose: "I wanted to say that! You stole my words!"
Duo Luomingzhu's almond-shaped eyes widened: "I'm a prophet, should I steal your words?"
Qiao Wei interrupted the two in a cold voice: "Okay! You two stop arguing! If you continue arguing, I will throw you all out!"
The two fell silent.
It's really strange, one of them is the son of the princess, and the other is the lady of the general's mansion, but they were scolded by the owner of a restaurant so that they dare not speak.
Qiao Wei glanced at the two: "Why are you arguing?"
"I… "
"I… "
The two scrambled to speak, and Qiao Wei raised her hand: "Come one by one, and Miss Doro will speak first."
Duo Luo Mingzhu raised her chin and said, "He snatched my shrimp!"
"You are so thick-skinned, you don't even blush when you lie? Who stole it from whom? Shall I order first?"
"I ordered first!"
"I!"
"I!"
There was another row.
Both of them are cannons, they will catch fire at one point, it's nothing if they haven't met before, but it really won't be a good thing if they encounter each other.
Qiao Wei asked Xiao Liu what was going on, and Xiao Liu's answer made Qiao Wei dumbfounded. After eating Yung Kee's crayfish, these two have become regular customers of Yung Kee. They come here every evening to order some crayfish, and today is no exception.
Coincidentally, the business was very good today, and the 600 catties of shrimp were sold out in a short time. The two little ancestors ordered at the same time, and they were served by different staff. When the two staff went to the kitchen to explain the menu, they were told that only The last pound.
Who should they sell it to? Rong Ji was in a difficult situation, so he asked the two if they could share half a catty of prawns. The masters had never made half a catty of prawns, so they made an exception for the two of them, but they didn't appreciate it, and they wanted to eat it. When I reached my own catty, I finally started fighting.
"What flavor did you order?" Qiao Wei asked Princess Doro.
Princess Doro's eyes lit up: "Salt and pepper! Salt and pepper crayfish!"
Salt and pepper is a new taste. To be honest, Qiao Wei is not used to it, but customers seem to like it very much.
"What about you?" Qiao Wei asked Li Yu again.
Li Yu rolled her eyes at Princess Doro, waved her folding fan, and said coquettishly, "Braised prawns in oil."
Qiao Wei nodded, and said to Xiao Liu, "Make a serving of braised shrimp."
"Eh?" Li Yu and Princess Doro were stunned, "Why marinated shrimp? I want salt and pepper crayfish (braised prawns)!"
Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "Who said I would make it for you to eat? Wang Shu, Jing Yun, come in."
Xiao Baozi carried the heavy "Xiao Shan" into the lobby, put the things in Xiao Liu's hands, Wang Shu gasped and said, "Here you are, brother Xiao Liu."
Hoo hoo, I'm so exhausted, so heavy!
Li Yu looked at the pair of cute babies, and widened his eyes in wonder, isn't this the twins he met in Dafangzhai during the Chinese New Year? they are-
"Mother!" Wang Shu threw herself into Qiao Wei's arms.
It's her child!
Is she that... that... poor village woman
Li Yu's jaw almost dropped from shock.
Qiao Wei ignored her and finally recognized her Sao Nian in red, and said to Xiao Liu: "Make another steamed egg with lily, stir-fry shredded pork with vegetables, and mix three bowls of cold noodles with cucumber and bean sprouts." The hands of the two little buns went upstairs, and they all disappeared, but there was still a voice coming slowly - "The two nobles broke so many things and hurt so many guys, remember to pay according to the price , and the guests who were frightened, it’s just the two of you!”
I didn’t eat the shrimp, and I lost a lot of money. Princess Duoluo curled her lips aggrievedly. For the sake of taking you into prison by mistake, I endured it...
Princess Duoluo obediently paid the money here, and Li Yu over there couldn't be bothering anymore, so he took out his pocket and paid half of the money.
Princess Doro doesn't care about money, but she is unwilling to let Li Yu ruin her chance to eat shrimp: "I remember you, Li Yu!"
Li Yu said sarcastically: "I won't remember you, Miss Doro!"
Princess Pingxi's Mansion and General Doro's Mansion are on the same street, so they can be regarded as half neighbors, and because the General's Mansion and Prince Yin are related by marriage, apart from the sick and weak second lady, Duo Luo Mingzhu and the eldest sister Doro Ziyu are all killed by her from time to time. Invited to various royal family banquets, Princess Pingxi Mansion has also been there.
Duo Luo Mingzhu and Li Yu knew each other when they urinated, but they were not familiar with each other. Occasionally, they nodded and greeted each other, which was regarded as alienation and politeness. Today they met by coincidence, and the two of them also greeted each other at first. I fell out over a pound of shrimp.
"You wait for Li Yu, I don't need my father to clean you up, I'll tell my brother-in-law later, I can beat you until you can't get out of bed for three days!"
"Oh, your brother-in-law is my Seventh Brother, and my Seventh Brother will beat me for an outsider?"
"It's not my real brother!" Duo Luo Mingzhu rolled her eyes.
"You..." Li Yu was about to retort, when the upstairs window was pushed open, and the little bun's giggling laughter came out. In the noisy night market, there was a warm atmosphere.
The two have already left Rong Ji, and from the perspective of Duo Luo Mingzhu, they happened to be able to see a pair of little buns sitting by the window. , can still see that he is in a good mood.
"Oh, Li Yu." Duo Luo Mingzhu tugged on his sleeve.
"Why?" He was not used to talking to him in such a good tone all of a sudden.
Duo Luo Mingzhu stared blankly at Jing Yun upstairs: "Do you think that child seems familiar?"
Li Yu glanced at her strangely: "What do you want to say?"
Duo Luo Mingzhu raised her finger: "He, he looks very similar to your Seventh Emperor Brother, haven't you noticed?" I felt familiar before, but I just couldn't remember where I met him, and I had a fight with Li Yu today. See where this familiarity comes from.
"My fourth brother said, that's not your brother-in-law's child!" When Li Yu first met Qiao Wei and Xiao Baozi in Dafangzhai, he felt that the little boy looked like King Yin, and he told his fourth brother later, The fourth brother told him afterwards that he was not King Yin's child.
Duo Luo Mingzhu snorted: "It's not the best! My sister hasn't passed the family yet, I don't want her to have two concubine children already!"
Prince Yin's mansion was quiet.
King Yin sat in the room reviewing the letters. The Holy One had many heirs. He was neither the first to be born, nor crawled out of the queen's belly. , there is only one idle job in the Ministry of Rites left.
Leisure work also has its advantages. He has a lot of time to develop the relationship within the court and establish the power of the people and the rivers and lakes.
After five years of hard work and deliberation, he has finally carved out a world of his own. His power is already far above those of the emperor's brothers. In three to five years, he may be able to stand against the crown prince.
Of course, before that, he had to get rid of Ji Mingxiu, the prince's backer.
These are all secret letters sent by moths from all over the world, with the movements of major officials and Jianghu gangs, but only Ji Mingxiu and Liu Ye are absent.
King Yin threw the letter on the table and sighed melancholy.
"My lord!" Eunuch Liu came to the door of the study.
King Yin pinched his sore and swollen temples, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Eunuch Liu said in embarrassment: "Slave... found out... found something."
King Yin frowned slightly: "Don't hesitate, talk quickly if you have something to say!"
Eunuch Liu said distressedly: "Slave... I really don't know what to say..."
"Is there any news about Da Qiao's family, or is there no news about Da Qiao's family?" It's nothing more than these two, Liu Quan is now focusing on Da Qiao's whereabouts, and no one else has the time to monitor.
Eunuch Liu hesitated for a while, and took out a scroll from his wide sleeve: "My lord, let's read it by myself."
King Yin took the scroll, opened it slowly and asked, "What is this?"
"It's the portrait that the servant brought back from the Ministry of Rites."
King Yin had a idle job in the Ministry of Rites, and he would not go to the Ministry of Rites if he had nothing to do, but eunuch Liu would go to the Ministry of Rites every day to inquire about the situation in the Ministry of Rites, so as to keep abreast of the situation in the Ministry of Rites. After moving things out one by one, one by one, the portrait fell to the ground. When he picked it up, he glanced at it, and then he was stunned.
He said: "In the past, the imperial examinations were sponsored by the Ministry of Officials. After the results were announced, the Ministry of Rites issued awards. The prodigy examination is no exception."
The picture scroll was completely opened, and on the green grass, a young boy with a delicate face stood in the center of a small white circle, holding a tape measure in his hand, staring blankly at the figure on the ground.
Eunuch Liu explained: "This is the last hurdle of the six doors this year. The height of the six-storey pagoda is measured with a tape measure that is one foot long. With the length of his body as the radius, he drew a circle. He stood at the point in the middle and waited until his own shadow was the same as his body length. He quickly ran to make a mark on the top of the shadow of the tower. After that, he drew a straight line for a short distance. , measured the distance between the mark and the tower in a short distance, and this, he said, was the height of the tower."
Such a clever method stunned the examiners of the official department. An examiner who was good at painting drew his appearance at that time.
King Yin was so shocked that his eyes straightened, but it was not because of the child's intelligence, but because of the child's appearance.
It was a... almost identical face to his.
Although he is not as flirtatious as the rumors say, he will not treat himself badly in this regard, but afterward, he will be swallowed by others, and generally he will not conceive his flesh and blood—
"What's his name?" King Yin asked.
Eunuch Liu said, "Qiao Jingyun."
"Surname Qiao?" King Yin was very sensitive to this surname.
Eunuch Liu didn't know what the surname meant. Qiao was a common surname, and there were many people with the same surname. There was also an examiner named Qiao in the Ministry of Officials. What he cared about was this face that resembled his own prince's, so he checked the child's name. information, only to find that there are many articles in it!
Eunuch Liu said anxiously: "He missed one of the exams, but won the little Tanhua, my lord, this is the kid we blocked from the exam room!"
"First, your subordinates almost trampled me to death, and then you want to wrong me and cause my son to miss a child prodigy exam. Do you know what my son missed because of you? He missed the champion, and in exchange Will you forgive me for doing me to harm your son like this?"
What Qiao Wei said to him in the alley flashed in his mind, and King Yin's expression changed: "Is it her child?"
Eunuch Liu nodded solemnly: "My lord, why does her child look so similar to you...it can't be your son?" …
his son
King Yin's hand clenched his fist: "How old is the child?"
"Five years old."
five years old...
Just right in time!
It was her child, and it was his too!
Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei, you really are Da Qiao's, you have been hiding it from me so hard!
Giving birth to this king's flesh and blood behind my back, and pretending not to know me, very good, very good!
