Strange Tale of Qingluan

Why do you want to dismantle the good stool...?

Confused, turning around, Yu Jia saw that Su Zhongming had already done everything and sat on the suspended crossbar.

With a cool shake of Su Zhongming, two strips of thick cloth brought him up, swinging back and forth, very comfortable.

"Swing? You, if you swing in this palace, aren't you afraid of breaking the yellow beam..." Yu Jia realized something, but worries also followed.

Su Zhongming said casually: "It's better to break it!"

Yu Jia became confused again, and murmured in a low voice, "It's better to break it?"

Su Zhongming suddenly remembered, and asked: "Hey, which department and province are you from? You don't look like a eunuch..."

Yu Jia replied: "The young one is a gardener in the palace. I happened to meet you once in the imperial garden last time! You don't remember at all?"

Su Zhongming stopped, thought carefully before saying: "A few days ago, I did meet a young gardener in the imperial garden, and I changed his name for him. Are you Yujia?"

Yu Jia nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! It's the little one."

Su Zhongming asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Yu Jia replied: "No. I just went back to the palace, and while walking, I suddenly thought that Yimengzhai was nearby, so I stopped by to have a look."

Su Zhongming regretfully said: "There is nothing here, so I can't entertain you."

Yu Jia hurriedly said: "No, no, my little one has a low status, how dare I let you entertain me."

Su Zhongming thought for a while, and then said: "Just now, you said that you just returned to the palace, you...you can enter and leave the palace freely!?"

Yu Jia explained embarrassingly: "Actually, he sneaked out by taking advantage of his position. Because not all the flower seedlings bought in the palace can grow good seedlings. A long time ago, the eunuch stopped buying them and handed them all over to Gardener."

Su Zhongming said clearly: "So that's the case. Then you go out of the palace..."

Yu Jia confessed honestly, "I'm going to meet someone."

Su Zhongming saw him bowing his head, so he teased: "Are you going to see... your sweetheart?"

After hearing this, Yu Jia became puzzled: "You, why are you like His Majesty! Everyone likes to make jokes like this..."

Su Zhongming was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Don't mention your Majesty, I don't want to hear about this person, let's talk about other things." Then he smiled and said, "I'm just bored, and I want to find someone to talk to."

When Yu Jia heard the words, she immediately agreed, "The little ones can help."

It's a coincidence, Yu Jia just came back from Tianxia Yihui Teahouse, if she hadn't turned around and went to Yimengzhai, she might have met Lou Tianying who was about to leave the palace.

This time out of the palace, what Lou Tian should do is still Baoqin's business.

Arrived at the tea house of 'Tianxia Yihui', as soon as he entered the lobby, the waiter came to greet him and asked him, "Is the guest officer here to drink tea, or to listen to Miss Baoqin's ventriloquist?"

Lou Tianying replied flatly: "While drinking tea, listening to ventriloquist."

The waiter said regretfully: "It's not too late to drink tea at this hour, but Miss Baoqin has already gone to rest in the hut, and she won't perform any more later. If you still want to drink tea, please come inside, sir."

Lou Tianying said: "That's good, I'd like to meet this girl." After saying that, he lavishly placed a piece of silver in the hands of the waiter.

The shop waiter's gaze, which recognized money, was as big as a bull's eye after a piece of silver landed in his hand, and he was so happy that he couldn't even speak smoothly: "Guest...Guest officer, you...you are so straightforward! "

Lou Tianying asked: "Success, or not?"

The waiter in the shop quickly agreed: "It's done! Of course it's done! Guest officer, please, I will take you upstairs!" Putting the silver in his pocket, he immediately volunteered to lead Lou Tianying upstairs.

When they arrived at the room behind the stage, the waiter stopped leading the way, pointed to a door and said, "Miss Baoqin usually rests there."

Lou Tian should understand, and only replied: "There is nothing for you here."

The waiter in the shop responded with an 'hey' and withdrew.

Lou Tianying strode generously to that door, ready to knock on it, but before he raised his hand and landed on the door, he heard the voice of two women talking from above, he couldn't help but froze.

Could it be... someone got ahead of me today? !What is the history of this person?

Thinking in this way, Lou Tianying approached the grid door and listened carefully, he was shocked immediately after hearing it, and then he could only turn around and leave without leaving a trace.

In the room, Baoqin is talking with the person who is meeting, and this person is Mei Yinghong from Luomei Village.

"The proprietor will miss Baoqin very much in the future for a long time. Last time, the powder and daisies presented by the proprietor were so delicate that Baoqin couldn't put it down and couldn't bear to use it."

"Use it, Baoqin. I consider you a good sister. If you don't have enough, just ask me for more!"

"The owner of the villa is really proud, but Baoqin is not married yet, so he won't be able to use so much rouge and gouache for a while, so I can only thank the owner first."

Taking a sip of hot tea, Mei Yinghong said with a slight smile: "You are still a girl, you should dress up well, how can you not use it? If you have time in the future, go to Luomeizhuang, where I will have Someone taught you how to draw your eyebrows and put on rouge."

Baoqin replied: "Luomeizhuang, of course I will visit, but I have something to do, so maybe I can go after a while."

Mei Yinghong continued: "You said the same thing when I came to see you last time. Sigh, in fact, that kid is doing quite well, so he may not be willing to accept his background and biological mother."

Baoqin didn't change her face and said: "This is his fate, and it is also my fate to meet him. In this case, everything will be done according to fate."

Mei Yinghong said helplessly: "You really have the same disposition as your father! However, you are a bit better than your father."

Baoqin smiled slightly when she heard the words.

Mei Yinghong said again: "A few days ago, I met my long-lost daughter."

Baoqin couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "That's really congratulations to the owner!"

Mei Yinghong said calmly: "That old ghost refused to accept me live or die. Over the past ten years, I have had enough. Now I only want to return my daughter, but that old ghost actually wants to snatch her from me! But Fortunately, a young man spoke up for me and let me get my daughter back."

Baoqin was a little curious, and hurriedly asked: "Which family does this kind-hearted young master come from?"

Mei Yinghong replied: "It's the Lord of Qingluan City. I heard that he has known my daughter for a long time." Suddenly, she said, "Baoqin, if this young man is willing to help you, the matter on your mind may be solved. .”

Baoqin replied with a chuckle: "Thank you for letting me know, but I don't know where this young master is now?"

Mei Yinghong regretfully said: "A few days ago, I left Luomei Village with my followers."

Baoqin lowered her head slightly, feeling sorry for it.

Mei Yinghong said again: "Not long after they left the villa, that kid who pestered my daughter all day came back again! I overheard him telling my daughter that the Lord of Qingluan City has suffered a catastrophe and was kidnapped by the wall." , whereabouts are unknown. Later, my daughter came to ask me for help, it seems that the matter is true."

Baoqin was taken aback and was dumbfounded.

The tea was already half cold, Mei Yinghong gently placed the cup on the table.

Seeing this, Baoqin said with a smile: "The owner, how about another cup?" Gently tapped the outer wall of the pot with her fingertips, "There is still some warm tea in the pot."

Mei Yinghong smiled and nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Bao Qin poured the half-cold tea in the cup into the tea tray, and then poured the warm tea into the empty cup.

Putting a cup of warm and delicious tea in front of Mei Yinghong's table, Baoqin said again: "There are rouge and gouache shops in Luomei Village in every country, why doesn't the owner use the power of the shop to track down the whereabouts of that young master?"

Mei Yinghong replied: "Originally, I was thinking of doing this because my daughter was making a lot of noise, but the day before yesterday, his entourage came to the door and asked for me, so I learned that he was arrested taken captive to the palace."

Holding the cup, Baoqin was about to drink tea when she heard this, she couldn't help being stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What's the name of that young master?"

Mei Yinghong replied: "Su Zhongming."

Su Zhongming...

I don't know, is it the same person as the son Yu Jia mentioned?

Baoqin couldn't help but think.

An hour later, the tea was exhausted and the conversation was over.

Mei Yinghong left her Baoqin outside the door of the 'Tianxiayihui' teahouse, and just like when she first came, she took her own carriage and went back to Luomeizhuang.

Since she and Bao Qin came out of the teahouse hand in hand, it has snowed again that day, and the chill has hit her body, but Mei Yinghong's way has not been blocked.

Returning to the villa safely, Mei Yinghong was walking on the icy path covered with snow, when Mei Yinghong looked up by chance and saw a man standing in front of her.The tall body is wrapped in a dark robe, so he can clearly see the snowflakes falling on his shoulders. He doesn't wear a fox-fur cape, nor does he hold an umbrella. He lets the snowflakes hit his body in the snow, and he doesn't know how long he waits here.

Mei Yinghong opened her lips: "You are thin, even if you can wait for the snow, you may not be able to wait for the Lord of Qingluan City."

Hearing the sound, Li Xuan turned to the direction the sound came from, and replied: "After the owner goes to meet friends, is there a way to save Zhong Ming?"

It really is a straightforward temperament! ——Mei Yinghong couldn't help thinking this way in her heart, she walked slowly, and opened her lips again: "Just because I went to meet friends, how do you know that I will ask for help?"

Li Xuan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Mei Yinghong said again: "You think he was robbed this time, but how do you know it won't be a blessing for Taoxia Kingdom?"

Li Xuan blurted out: "What does the owner mean by these words?"

Mei Yinghong replied bluntly: "Since he has experience in handling state affairs, I believe that Lou Linrou will never let him go easily. As you said, he did destroy Lou Linrou's plan at the beginning, but Lou Linrou is a shrewd woman, a valuable enemy, she will not kill, but she will treat it as a pawn in her hand."

Li Xuan understood what he heard, and opened his lips to speak, but Mei Yinghong interrupted him before he could say a word.Mei Yinghong then added: "I have informed the people I met today about Su Zhongming, but whether she saves or uses Su Zhongming is up to her."

Li Xuan said anxiously: "Then, what if this person, like Lou Linrou, regards Zhong Ming as a pawn in his hand?"

Mei Yinghong snorted lightly, and replied: "At least it will be better than Xinwang and Lou Linrou." After saying that, she walked past Li Xuan neatly, spreading her steps along the path.

Li Xuan became more and more worried, and said to himself: "Whether it's Lou Linrou, that kid from Mufeng Club, or even this friend of the owner... Taoxia Country, it's really a dangerous place."

A group of people wanted to leave Taoxia Kingdom, but they ran aground because of Su Zhongming's disaster.Now that they don't have enough money, this group of people can only knock on the door of Luomeizhuang again, and brazenly set up a bill on credit at Luomeizhuang.
