Capture the Jade:
He Mingsheng was dumbfounded, Lin Chengyou sat back after saying that, he didn't intend to leave.
Soon there were two beauties surrounded by maidservants. The one on the left was named Wei Zi, with two clusters of white frost on her chest, swaying as she walked.
Another petite and exquisite beauty is Yao Huang, who seems to have the arrogance of a daughter of a noble family.
What He Mingsheng said was true, both of them were a bit sleepy, and Wei Zi's lips were stained with bright red blush, but he couldn't hide his haggard look.
Yao Huang's face also looked clearer, but fortunately, she was still in good spirits. She seemed to use a strange fragrance in her skirt, and the fragrance was very fragrant when she walked. When she got close to her, she spoke with a voice as crisp as an oriole: "I have seen His Royal Highness."
Teng Yuyi had long been deeply impressed by Yao Huang's singing voice, but listening to her speak now, she felt moist as soft rain.
After thinking about it, Juesheng and Qizhi were both dumbfounded. She knew that this excitement could not be watched anymore, so she hurriedly led them back to the back garden. When they arrived in the room, she smiled and poured tea for them, senior I don't feel ashamed to openly flirt with prostitutes, but I embarrass my junior brother like this.
"Where did you go?" She kindly changed the subject.
"Actually, we didn't go very far." Juesheng took the teacup with both hands, "Brother and Yan Sizhi first went to the opposite fruit shop to ask if anyone had bought candied cherries, then went to the nearby jewelry shop to inquire about the matter, and finally went to I went around the Jifu Shop (Note 1), and when I came out, it was getting late, so my brother and Yan Sizhi went to a nearby wine shop for dinner."
Fruit shop? Jewelry shop? Teng Yuyi took a sip of her tea, it was easy to guess, it was nothing more than something she found in Qingzhi's room.
What's going on with Jifu Shop? Did Qingzhi ever **** something before he was alive?
Qizhi took out a few packages from his arms: "Miss Teng, try this."
Teng Yu's opinion is a pack of glutinous rice, presumably Lin Chengyou bought it for her younger brother, but she refused to take it, she just smiled and said: "You guys keep it for yourself, I don't like to eat nonsense."
Abandonment of wisdom can not be divided and stuffed into Teng Yuyi's hands: "This is not the same, Mrs. Teng will know after eating it."
Juesheng nodded desperately: "Qizhi and I ate such a meal for the first time, and we got back a few more because we thought you would like it too. Uncle Cheng, Brother Huo, this is for you." /
Cheng Bo and Huo Qiu laughed in surprise, "We have them too?"
Teng Yuyi held the bag of things and thought to herself, although the money came from Lin Chengyou, but the heart was from the two little Taoist priests, and he brought it back to them eagerly. If you have a long heart, then eat it, and our master and servant don't need to arrange lunch anymore, this is enough."
As soon as she took a bite, she was stunned: "Hey, what kind of stuffing is this?"
Juesheng and Qizhi's eyes lit up: "Didn't you eat it? We didn't eat it either. According to the boss of Hu Si, there are 20 or 30 kinds of fillings in it, except flower mushrooms, touhuaci and Buttermilk, and many other ingredients that I have never heard of."
Cheng Bo walked around the streets and alleys on a daily basis, and he was well-informed. After hearing this, he was a little puzzled: "Xiao Daochang, with so many good things in one meal, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell. It’s too cheap and no one buys it.”
Juesheng said to Cheng Bo: "Cheng Bo, you don't know that the boss of this barbaric shop is an old acquaintance with the senior brother. He cooks himself only when the senior brother comes. He doesn't sell it on weekdays, and he won't sell it for more money. "
Teng Yuyi originally planned to eat two bites casually, but he couldn't put it down after eating. The crispness of the mushrooms and the sticky sweetness of the buttermilk blended between his lips and teeth, making it hard to let go. a meal.
She cleaned her hands and face with a towel, and said with a smile: "Where is this store? I will buy some for my cousin and aunt some other day."
"It's not far ahead, and the owner's name is He Mo, but Mrs. Teng should not go, He Mo won't sell, no matter how much money you give."
"Why?"
Juesheng waved his hand: "This person has a weird temper. After finishing the dinner, he came out to say hello to his senior brother and then disappeared. If it were someone else, he might not even show his face. Yan Si talked directly to He Mo, Hemo doesn't even care about it."
Teng Yuyi stopped talking. The owner of this Husha must be a bit arrogant because he hides in the market. He is indifferent to money and doesn't care about power. As true friends, it seems that Lin Chengyou has a lot of friends of all kinds and teachings around him.
"Yan Sizhi and your senior brother have traveled so many places, do you suspect that Qingzhi committed suicide?"
Qizhi scratched his head: "We don't know about this either, Yan Sizhi and senior brother didn't say anything."
Teng Yuyi said: "If Qingzhi was murdered by someone, wouldn't the murderer hang around in the building as if nothing had happened? If you don't look up and look down, maybe you will have dinner with me at the same table."
Juesheng and Qizhi whispered: "Miss Teng, do you think Qingzhi was murdered?"
"Don't dare to speculate wildly. Last night, your senior brothers and all the Taoist priests lived in the small Buddhist hall, not far from the well. If Qingzhi was murdered in front of the well, he would definitely struggle and call for help. With your senior brothers' ears, It's not like I didn't hear anything. If I was killed nearby and then moved to the well, it's very likely that someone will come across such a long distance. The situation is special these days, and the corpse may break in at any time to cause trouble. I will pick this time to strike, so I guess Qingzhi committed suicide."
"But if he committed suicide, why would the brother invite colleagues from Dali Temple to investigate the case?"
So Qingzhi's death must be suspicious. Teng Yuyi changed the topic: "There is nothing wrong with the left and right now, why don't you call Baozhu and Juanerli to sing."
Baozhu and Juan'erli came soon, but their faces were very pale.
Teng Yuyi personally poured tea for them, and said warmly: "I remember last time you said that Qingzhi always had nightmares these days, are you familiar with Qingzhi?"
Baozhu held the teacup and shook his head: "My family is not familiar with Qingzhi, but Juanerli and Qingzhi are half of the same village. Qingzhi suddenly disappeared, and Juanerli was restless all morning."
It was only then that Teng Yuyi noticed Juanerli's dull expression.
Baozhu gently pushed Juan'erli: "Young master asked you something."
Juanerli came back to his senses, and said sadly: "Young master, my family and Qingzhi are not from the same village, but they were sold to the same person Yazi back then. My family is from a barbarian, but Qingzhi was sold from Xingyang Yes, I remember that at that time Qingzhi always said that there were still sisters in the family, but it was a pity that they were separated accidentally. The slave family got along with her for a few months and they were considered familiar. Later, the slave family was bought by Aunt E, and Qingzhi was bought by Aunt Wo. I didn’t see Qingzhi again until the opening of Caifenglou. Qingzhi told me that Mrs. Wo thought she was not outstanding, so she bought her but never taught her folk art.”
Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned for a moment, listening to the meaning of this, does this Qingzhi want to be a singer?
Baozhu blushed and said: "My lord doesn't know something. The woman who was sold to Goulan is destined to have a miserable fate in this life. Even if Qingzhi doesn't serve the man, she can't marry a good family in a dignified manner. She is unwilling to live forever Do rough work in the hook bar, so, so—"
Teng Yuyi understands, perhaps in Qingzhi's eyes, being a famous prostitute is much more beautiful than being a poor servant girl.
"The slave family asked Qingzhi if she had found her direct sisters these years. Qingzhi said she hadn't, but she said that Mrs. Wo treated her well. If she worked hard, she could save a few dollars a month. Then Gejin When the lady comes, the master will ask Qingzhi to serve the Gejin lady.”
"According to this, Qingzhi doesn't seem to have the temperament that would commit suicide later." Teng Yuyi recalled Gejin's distraught appearance in the morning, and couldn't help asking, "Is Gejin treating Qingzhi well?"
"Okay." Juan'erli nodded in a daze, "Miss Gejin is knowledgeable in books and etiquette, and has a very forthright temperament. Those princes and grandchildren often send some rare and exotic fruits to please her, and she will generously share them with the people around her." , I brought some roasted deer and fish vinegar from outside, and I never ate it by myself. Not long after she came, everyone in the building liked her. Qingzhi often said that she was very lucky to be able to serve such a lady."
Baozhu suddenly said: "No, it's not all like that."
"Oh, is there a gap between her master and servant?"
"It used to be fine, but Qingzhi said that after the disfigurement of the Gejin lady, she seemed to be a different person. She often got angry at her for no reason, and sometimes beat and scolded her. The lady scolded her, she often complained to others behind her back, and once asked Mrs. Wo to change her master to serve her. Mrs. Wo scolded Qingzhi severely, saying that she was ungrateful and ungrateful. The master is in trouble, the first thing he thinks about is to climb another branch, this kind of thing is worth keeping, he should be killed immediately. Qingzhi was so frightened that she kowtowed and apologized, and never dared to mention this again."
Teng Yuyi thought for a while: "According to this, Qingzhi didn't have nightmares when Lady Gejin's accident happened, and it's only in the past few days that she started to sleep unsteadily?"
Baozhu nodded: "Qingzhi is a person who doesn't use his strength. Lady Gejin was injured by a ghost. Everyone in the building is in danger. Qingzhi looks fine, but she is only worried about Lady Gejin and her own future. If the Gejin lady's appearance can't be restored, those rare delicacies that I could eat in the past will no longer be able to eat."
Teng Yuyi was amazed, this is not only a lack of energy, but a lack of heart. Juesheng and Qizhi are puzzled: "Why do people with this temperament suddenly have restless sleep? Qingzhi always sleeps at night recently. Having nightmares, the roommate didn't ask her why?"
"This... the servants don't know."
Teng Yu grumbled, the ranks of prostitutes in the building are distinct, Eji has spent so much money and hard work, hoping that Juanerli and Baozhu will become courtesans in the future, Qingzhi is a rough servant girl, Eji will not agree with her daughter Had a close relationship with her.
Teng Yuyi supported his chin with his hands: "Forget it, I'm tired after talking so much, it's too chaotic outside, you guys rest in my room for a while before leaving."
Baozhu and Juan'erli were a little uneasy: "Master, don't we play the music?"
"Forget the Hu Qu, let's play "The Song of Cailian"."
The two agreed in unison, Juan'erli played first, Baozhu also plucked the silk strings.
Just after playing the first half, Baozhu suddenly froze.
"Hold the beads?"
Baozhu's complexion turned pale for a moment, and he calmed down quickly. Looking at the plate of candied cherries on the case, he said, "My family remembered it. Then I went back to the master's house and asked my family to deliver medicine to Mrs. Gejin. I didn't answer the knock on the door. My family I had no choice but to look for Qingzhi, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Qingzhi eating. When she saw me coming in, she hurriedly stuffed the package back under the pillow, but accidentally spilled it all over the floor. Seeing that it was a package of candied cherries, my slave didn’t know what to do. Care, now that I think about it, the bag was very heavy, and it jingled like something like a hairpin hidden. Qingzhi was busy stuffing the things back, and said, "I met an old acquaintance, this bag of preserved cherries is that Someone gave it to me, I want to keep it as a thought, so I won’t share it with my sister.”
"Old acquaintance? Can she tell if she's a man or a woman?"
"I didn't say anything. Qingzhi was panicked at the time, and pushed me out in a hurry."
"Do you suspect that Qingzhi buried something else under the preserved cherries?"
Baozhu nodded: "In this way, even if someone bumps into her, it will only be regarded as she is stealing food. If she didn't fall to the ground, the slave family would not know the clue."
"How much is hidden?"
"It is estimated that only the upper layer is preserved cherries, and the bottom is full of pearls and jade objects."
Teng Yuyi frowned secretly, no wonder Lin Chengyou went to fruit shops and jewelry shops to inquire. This is interesting, where did a poor servant girl get so many jewelry, was it stolen or given by others? It's just that Gejin often distributes fruits and delicacies, but is it possible that he also distributes hairpin treasures to the maids?
At this time, someone outside suddenly said: "Young Master, Young Master?"
Cheng Bo went over to open the door, and He Mingsheng poked in with a smiling face: "My lord, He has something to discuss with you."
Teng Yuyi was slightly surprised: "What's the matter?"
He Mingsheng smiled: "The prince wants Baozhu and Juan'erli to serve him."
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a while: "If I remember correctly, Lin Chengyou called ten ladies in one go, why, it's not enough?"
Juesheng and Qizhi coughed dryly, wishing they could get into the cracks in the ground.
He Mingsheng sighed: "My lord, I don't know something. This young gentleman, it is inevitable that he will be a bit rough for the first time. The son said that he wants to choose someone who suits his heart in all aspects, and he is afraid that the choice will be confusing, so he wants to be in a secluded place." I went to see each other one by one. I heard that there were still a few beautiful prostitutes in the building who hadn't left, so I asked He to come and invite them in person."
Teng Yuyi said: "It doesn't matter if he calls everyone in the building, but I have already agreed with Aunt E that Juan'erli and Baozhu are my people now, and I don't agree with them serving others. Lin Chengyou should find someone else."
He Mingsheng raised his head and wiped his sweat: "My lord, this is all due to He's foolishness, He will apologize to you first, the prince is waiting for the important person on the other side, and said that he will not report it within half an hour." If someone sends him over, he will make trouble for me. These days, He is already in a state of distress, and he can no longer bear the toss. Prince, as long as you are willing to let him go, no matter how much you ask He to make amends, it is something that Eji accepted without authorization. , How about returning it all to Prince Wang?"
Teng Yuyi glanced at Juan'erli and Baozhu, both of them hung their heads in silence, presumably they didn't want to be called to serve the man, because the master came to ask for him in person, so they dared not speak out.
Teng Yuyi is not a bodhisattva, but she promised to keep the two of them safe. It has only been a few days, how can it be destroyed by Lin Chengyou.
She smiled and said: "It's so pitiful to say, Boss He is a rich man, so naturally he won't take the two jewels seriously. If you dare to return my beads today, tomorrow I will let people spread the word Let people know that the boss of Caifenglou is going back on his word, and see who will dare to do business with you in the future."
He Mingsheng mourned: "Oh, this is really a fight between gods and little ghosts. The son's side doesn't make sense, and the prince's son doesn't give in. He is caught in the middle, and he is really going to die. How about this, The prince is still waiting for an answer over there, please ask the prince to follow He Mou one step further and explain to the prince by himself."
Teng Yu thought for a moment, Lin Chengyou wanted to please her, so he should have come to explain it clearly, but now is not the time to be arrogant, if Lin Chengyou decides to fight her, she can't protect Baozhu and He Curly pear.
Juesheng and Qizhi remained silent, probably feeling unhappy, she had an idea, and whispered: "I have something to discuss with you."
After exhorting the two of them, she raised her head and said to He Mingsheng, "Lead the way."
That place is in the back garden, not far from the Small Buddha Hall. It was originally a small flower hall, but it was temporarily converted into a wing room. The branches and leaves in front of the steps are in harmony, and it is a very quiet place. When Teng Yuyi passed by, Lin Chengyou had just come from another corridor, and followed several people step by step, and Eji was among them.
"Shizi."
Lin Chengyou stopped: "Have you found them all?"
He Mingsheng said with a smile: "Others are easy to say, but Juanerli and Baozhu are a bit troublesome."
Juesheng and Qizhi glanced at the wing room, the window was half closed, and a beautiful figure in neon clothes could be seen in the room, their faces blushed, they ran to Lin Chengyou and pulled his sleeve, saying: "Senior brother, you can't do this. "
Lin Chengyou said calmly: "What's wrong with me?"
"Brother has already called ten ladies, why bother calling Juanerli and Baozhu, they are good people, you, brother, you can't..."
The last two words sounded like gnats. Lin Chengyou touched his ears and realized that it was "spoiled".
He smiled instead of anger: "I ruined them?"
Juesheng plucked up his courage and said: "Brother, I dare to ask you, can you call their names when you leave this room today?
"Why should I know their names?"
Tsk. Juesheng and Qizhi's faces became more and more ugly, and they kept muttering: "Senior brother, this is not good. They were sold to this kind of place, and their backgrounds are very pitiful. Senior brother, you, you can't make things worse."
"That's right, that's right, if you start messing around and end up abandoning it, it's against Master's teaching."
This is what Teng Yuyi taught them, and they held back for a long time before they popped out these words.
Lin Chengyou was criticized all over his head and face, and wondered where they learned this trick, making it worse? Start chaotic and end up abandoning? Suddenly caught a glimpse of Teng Yuyi, and said with a sneer: "I don't know what's going on, it turned out to be a good thing that Wang Gongzi did."
Teng Yuyi took a step back secretly, but Lin Chengyou was already walking towards her, slowly approaching her, and he looked down at her: "Did you teach them this?"
Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly said: "No, when Boss He came to talk to Mr. Wang, we heard it ourselves, and we are what we want to say."
Teng Yuyi smiled: "I really entrusted the two little priests to intercede. Unfortunately, the two people that the prince took a fancy to fell in love with in the first few days, and promised Aunt E a lot of money to keep them from serving for half a year. Others, it is said that the prince is completely ignorant of this matter, let me apologize to the prince first, Juan'erli and Baozhu really can't serve the prince."
Lin Chengyou nodded: "You don't want to give up, so you persuade these two idiots to say that I bully men and women?"
"Your Majesty misunderstood, the two Taoist elders regard their seniors as an example, and they are always proud of imitating their seniors. Today, the story of Shizi's **** with prostitutes is spreading in the building. It is inevitable that Xiaodao is still young. , I have no choice but to explain one or two on my behalf, there is absolutely no word of slander, and I dare not say that the son bullies men and women."
The smile on Lin Chengyou's face didn't diminish, but the fire in his heart was burning. It didn't stop for a night, and she came to provoke him again. He could imagine how she "explained" for her. She definitely didn't have a good word. Shenghe Qizhi looked at him that way. I don't know what ecstasy soup she poured into the two foolish boys, but Juesheng and Qizhi just followed her.
Teng Yu said warmly: "The son is not an absurd and invisible person. Now that the ins and outs have been explained clearly, His Royal Highness, please raise your hand and replace it with a beauty."
Lin Chengyou sneered: "What if I want to be absurd and invisible today?"
Teng Yuyi sighed: "Juerli and Baozhu have never served anyone before, they are all stupid, and they go in to serve in a muddle-headed manner, so it is impossible to guarantee that they will not spoil the happiness of the prince. There are already a dozen beauties in the room, why bother to let them go?" Are Juanerli and Baozhu bothering you?"
Lin Chengyou looked up at the sky and thought about it seriously: "It sounds reasonable, but unfortunately I said that if I want so many people, then none of them should be missing. I understand what the prince said, it's nothing more than saying that I am strong." Wish, it’s not as good as this, I ask them if they are willing, if they are willing, will the prince stop it?"
Teng Yuyi secretly thought, so many people serve the same man together, only a fool would be willing.
She raised her chest with her hands behind her back: "Then according to what the son said, if they are willing, I will never stop them again."
Lin Chengyou turned around and asked Erli and Baozhu: "Although there are many people calling today, I will only pick one. I will give you a generous gift for the chosen one. Do you want to try it?"
Eji blinked at the two of them from behind. From her point of view, Lin Chengyou is not a child of an ordinary family. As long as he is willing, he can buy the entire Caifenglou. It is rare that he is willing to find someone to serve him. How can you miss the opportunity. Although there are many people calling today, Dujuan'erli and Baozhu are still innocent. If Lin Chengyou's wishes are met, why worry about their future future.
Why are these two silly boys still not moving? Eji coughed suddenly, Juerli woke up like a dream, but her complexion turned pale, instead of moving forward, she moved behind Teng Yuyi.
Lin Chengyou's smile faltered slightly, Teng Yuyi couldn't hide the smirk in his eyes, the meaning was very clear, Lin Chengyou, do you really regard yourself as a rare treasure? Look, there are many people who look down on you.
Lin Chengyou squinted at Teng Yuyi, then turned to Baozhu and asked, "What about you?"
Baozhu didn't speak, Teng Yuyi looked at her with satisfaction, but was stunned, only to see that Baozhu's face was like a quietly blooming crabapple, and even her ears were completely red.
Lin Chengyou was surprised: "Is this willing?"
Baozhu twists the scarf in her hand, and looks timidly at Eji.
Teng Yuyi couldn't smile anymore, and Eji was overjoyed: "My son, her name is Baozhu."
Baozhu bowed his body, left Teng Yuyi and went to Eji's side, Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "Wait."
Baozhu stopped in surprise, and Lin Chengyou said with a sarcasm: "The prince will do everything possible to protect you, and you will leave her without even looking at her?"
Bao Zhu bit her lip and lowered her head even lower.
Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi: "Prince Wang understands, you can't protect this, right? I'll take it away."
Juesheng and Qizhi were still waiting to catch up, but Teng Yuyi stopped her, and she lost interest: "That's all."
Turn around and walk a few steps, then I heard Lin Chengyou say to Eji: "You go in too."
Eji was holding Baozhu and whispering, she was beaming and she didn't know what secret book she was imparting, these words came over like a thunderbolt.
Baozhu was dumbfounded, Juesheng and Qizhi staggered.
E Ji was dumbfounded: "Me?"
Even Cheng Bo and Huo Qiu, who had been silent all this time, were shocked.
Teng Yuyi was stunned at first, and then thought suspiciously, Lin Chengyou told so many people not to tell, even the elderly fake mother, does this seem to be a prostitute?
I was suspicious all the time, but I left in no hurry.
Juesheng and Qizhi stomped their feet and ran to Lin Chengyou: "Brother."
Lin Chengyou grabbed Qizhi's ear and said with a smirk, "Wait for me, and settle accounts with you when I'm done."
Juesheng and Qizhi looked at Lin Chengyou's back in a daze. Teng Yuyi looked left and right, and there happened to be a pavilion nearby, so he dragged Juesheng and Qizhi over.
Juan'erli was gouged out by E Ji viciously several times before, but now she is leaving or staying, so she has no choice but to follow Teng Yuyi.
Lin Chengyou was not in a hurry to enter the room, he stood on the steps as if waiting for someone, until He Mingsheng invited a dozen or so ladies with more outstanding looks, then he pushed the door and entered.
When the door is closed, the casement is also closed.
A cool breeze came, and the flowers and branches in front of the railing rustled. The people in the pavilion stared with big eyes, and Teng Yuyi smiled dryly: "You are a little cold, why don't you go back to the house?"
Juesheng and Qizhi jumped up: "Senior brother asked us to draw a talisman, we have just drawn half of it, we have to go back."
He Mingsheng in the room bit the bullet and said to Lin Chengyou: "My lord, except for Juan'erli and Gejin, all the first-class beauty in the building are here."
There are already four waiting in the inner room, and the rest are all in the outer room.
The ladies were flirting with each other, puzzled.
Lin Chengyou paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, carefully looked at everyone's faces, and finally opened the door and entered the back room, leaning over to scoop up the water in the Yuhu.
The bath soup is light brown and emits a faint fragrance.
"It's almost there, let's soak in the water."
The hearts of the four people in the room were jumping, hesitant whether to undress outside the Yuhu or go in and then undress, suddenly found that He Mingsheng was still outside the room, it was strange that Lin Chengyou didn't mean to let him go out, and not only He Mingsheng didn't leave, but outside A few old Taoist priests came in again.
The old Taoist walked to the back room without squinting, and said solemnly: "The old Taoist is here, I don't know how to recruit him."
Wei Zi and others were surprised: "My son?"
Lin Chengyou sat on the low couch in front of the window, took out a few collars of gold from his sleeves, put them on the desk leisurely, and then raised his head and smiled: "Who puts the clothes in the bathing den? Whoever can hold their breath underwater the longest, I will reward this pile of gold."
***
Teng Yuyi went back to her room and had a good night's sleep. She woke up at dusk and called Cheng Bo and Huo Qiu over, asking, "Have you ever pulled out animal teeth?"
Cheng Bo raised his eyelids: "What do you mean by this lady?"
"Just ask." Teng Yuyi said nonchalantly, "I heard that animal teeth are extremely difficult to pull out. Is there such a thing?"
Cheng Bo didn't change his face: "When I was in the front building at noon, the lady would rather use wine as bait in order to inquire about the vitals of the corpse. The matter. The old slave feels strange, and asks the lady to clear up her doubts."
Teng Yuyi tilted her head to look at Cheng Bo, regretting that he should have brought Cheng Bo out, this man is as delicate as a hair, and nothing can escape his eyes.
She smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, there is something I wanted to ask you a long time ago. Grandpa said that you have just passed fifty, why are your hair and beard gray?"
This is true, Cheng Bo's hair and beard are snow white, except for a pair of long and black eyebrows, looking at him suddenly, it looks like someone has scribbled two strokes on the white paper with a brush soaked in ink.
Cheng Bo was unmoved, and smiled kindly: "It's too late for an ordinary lady to hear these strange things. Why do you inquire in detail? It seems that since the lady got the emerald sword, she seems to be interested in the strange things." Interested in this matter."
Teng Yuyi corrected Cheng Bo: "My sword now has a name, it is called Xiaoya."
"Okay, Xiao Yajian." Cheng Bo corrected immediately, "The corpse evil entangled the lady, and the master had no choice but to entrust the lady to the hands of the Taoist priests of Dongming Temple and Qingyun Temple. There is a way to get rid of evil spirits." Take it as long as you can, the lady must not put herself in danger, if there is a mistake, how will the old slave explain to the master."
Teng Yuyi patiently listened to Cheng Bo's chatter: "Cheng Bo, you were a hero in the early days when you marched and fought with my grandfather, but now you take off your military uniform and do trivial chores, it's a shame."
Cheng Bo's complexion changed: "This old slave, his wife and children have been greatly favored by the master and his wife. They have already entrusted their lives to the master in this life. Not to mention just taking care of common affairs, they should be ashamed."
Teng Yuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle Cheng, you and I are gossiping, what are you doing talking about it? Although you call yourself a slave, I have always regarded you as an elder in my heart, and I will not hide it from you. Chang told me that the Taoist magic weapon like the Xiaoya Sword was born to slay demons and eliminate demons. Every once in a while, you need to feed the sword with evil spirits. If you don’t take care of it carefully, it will become ordinary one day. Uncle Cheng, you must have heard such rumors."
"The old slave has indeed heard of it."
Teng Yuyi slowly stroked the hilt of the sword: "I always have nightmares after I fall into the water, and I can only sleep peacefully with the protection of this sword. The few times I ran into evil spirits, it was because of its protection that I was able to save myself from danger, so I made up my mind a long time ago. I need to maintain its magic power, but I don't know Taoism, where can I find evil spirits to enshrine this sword? There are Taoist priests of the two views here to eliminate demons, I don't want to miss the opportunity, it is best to feed the sword with two monsters , if it is too dangerous, I will not go up to die."
Most of these words are true, only the section "borrowing life" is omitted.
"Old slave understands." Cheng Bo pondered, "Young lady, why don't you give this sword to this old slave, the old slave's skills are not bad, and when the priests subdue the two monsters, they can see the opportunity to strike at the vital point."
"This method won't work." Teng Yuyi smiled wryly, "This sword recognizes its master, leaving me is just an ordinary jadeite object."
Cheng Bo paced around the house for a while, squinted his eyes and said: "This old slave remembered one thing. When I returned to Chang'an in the early years, I met an old friend who had just returned from the border guards of Nanzhao Kingdom. When drinking with the old slave, he mentioned that he met the local corpse king."
Teng Yuyi's heart moved, and it was Nanzhao Kingdom again.
"The corpse king was also born with a pair of fangs. After being unearthed, he made chaos everywhere. He attacked the barracks every night and ate many soldiers. A local wizard who was good at witchcraft suggested that he use two extremely tough and powerful The strings of the zither were made into loops, one on each side of the dead king’s fangs, and dozens of soldiers pulled it off at the same time. Although the strength is far higher than that of the Corpse King, but the pair of fangs can stretch freely, there should be notches, and it is easy to say that there are notches, and they must not be able to withstand being pulled."
Teng Yuyi thought for a while and said: "The method is a good method. I will meet with a few Taoist priests later, and I will explain it to them in detail. However, this cannot be achieved by one person. Who is it? Hey, trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble, or it is better not to attack the idea of corpse evil, think about that bird monster."
The two masters and servants were talking, Huo Qiu said at the door: "My lady, please see me, lady holding pearls."
Cheng Bo indifferently looked outside the door, poured a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine for Teng Yuyi, clasped his hands, and slowly walked aside.
Teng Yuyi lowered her eyes and took a sip: "Let her in."
Baozhu came in slowly.
Her temple hair is soaked, her hairpin is tilted to the side, and several strands of wet hair are sticking to her fair neck. Even so, her lips were still pale from the cold, and when she came in, she looked at Teng Yuyi with tears in her eyes: "I have come to apologize to you."
Teng Yuyi's face was full of surprise: "Where did you start, and what are you guilty of?"
Holding beads of tears falling down like broken threads, she slowly prostrated herself on the ground: "Young master took great pains to protect each other, but my slave family was extremely stupid and failed to understand your master's intentions. I let you feel chilled in vain. Now my slave family has figured it out. Knowing that I have been ashamed, I wish I could do my best to make up for it, and I just hope that the young master will let go of the past and give the slave family another chance to serve music and wine."
Teng Yuyi looked at the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "What am I doing, it turned out to be this. I don't blame you for this. There is a saying in "Book of Rites": 'In Fuyanfu, in Kuyanku, in Chaoyan In the court, the official speaks of the official'. Although you are not a scholar, you still need to fend for yourself. Everything you do has your own difficulties. You are also a poor person. Just now you don’t think I am too troublesome. How can I Dare to blame you?"
Holding the bead through tears and laughing: "The prince does not have the same knowledge as the slave family, the slave family is very grateful, the slave family is in a cage, everything is involuntary, what happened just now is not voluntary, but Aunt E forced him, the son, the son. ——"
As she spoke, she raised her head, her chest tightened suddenly, and Teng Yuyi looked at her with a smile, her eyes were as bright as cold stars, although she didn't show any disgust on her face, she seemed to have seen through her thoughts.
The palms of Baozhu began to sweat. This lady who pretended to be a barbarian and claimed to be a prince had already regarded her as a speck of dust. This was even more embarrassing than just becoming a prince. , in Wang Gongzi's eyes, it's just a joke.
She subconsciously grabbed the front of her front, and had a vague feeling that the prince could try to protect her, but her heart became hardened, colder than ice. Don't even think about getting the protection and protection you had before from Prince Wang.
After these days of stability, she almost forgot the feeling of being beaten and scolded by fake mothers and alcoholics.
She was thinking at the time that the prince is a daughter after all, and although she is taking care of them now, she won't come if she can't say it. She put all her eggs in one basket, but in exchange for a humiliation.
Unwilling to fail at both ends, she hastily squeezed out a few more tears and said, "Young Master Wang."
Teng Yu placed the teacup on the table with great care, Cheng Bo and Huo Qiu approached and said: "Lady Baozhu, save yourself some dignity, if you are told by the young master, go, and don't come here again."
The beaded eyelashes trembled slightly, and Teng Yuyi's eyes were already cold when she looked up again.
