Rebirth of a Star General Chapter 211: Grandma Qin

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!

For the next two days, He Yan has been waiting for news from Xu Jiafuwang’s side. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s because Xu Zhiheng is also investigating Mother Qin’s whereabouts, Fuwang’s search for someone, and the merger Not smooth. At the same time, on the night when He Yan and Xiao Jue met Mrs. Fan, someone really sneaked into the prison, trying to silence their mouths.

As reminded by Xiao Jue, Master Liu added a lot of manpower to the prison in advance. The assassin did not succeed, but the jailers failed to catch anyone and escaped by the masked assassin. Even so, Mrs. Fan is still crazy, Master Liu did not dare to use torture easily, Fan's family is still investigating and the case is deadlocked.

The day He Yan was assassinated was in the streets. After the city guards came, many people came over with the courage to watch. He Yan revealed his identity, and it was impossible to hide this incident. The next day, People in Man Shuojing know that Xiao Jue's fiancee, the Wu'an Hou, who was pro-appointed by His Majesty, was assassinated in broad daylight. Fortunately, she was not bad enough and escaped a catastrophe. For a time, the people of Shuojing City went out a lot less at night, for fear of encountering bandits who were dangling outside.

Before everything is ascertained, the people in the capital will only think of it as a "bandit."

In the Prince's Mansion, the beautiful maidservants are playing the piano and dancing.

It is no longer a matter of a day or two for the prince to indulge in love and sensuality. Although the princess was angry but unable to do anything, she put all her thoughts on herself, hoping that she had already given birth to her eldest grandson, and the position of the prince would be more stable. It's a pity that the prince's belly is not up to date, and there has been no movement since she entered the door of the prince's mansion. Guang Yan was dissatisfied with the princess, and the more he gave it up, until now, no one can discipline him in the entire mansion.

Today the prince held a banquet and invited Xu Xiang, and Chu Zhao was also there.

"Since the marriage was given by the emperor, the palace has not had time to congratulate Zi Lan Dao." The crown prince looked at Chu Zhao and smiled: "This time Zi Lan has got her wish, and she will go on a blind date with Xu. A great thing. Congratulations." After that, Zhao Chu Zhaoyang raised the wine cup in his hand.

Chu Zhao hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him, saying that he didn't dare. Drink up the wine with the prince.

"Xiao Huaijin has returned to Shuojing now," Guang Yan sighed. "The messenger of the Utuo country will soon enter Beijing. Xiao Huaijin will definitely try his best to prevent the opening of a bargaining market in Dawei. But now Most of the Chinese are ours, and my palace is not worried.” After a pause, the crown prince’s eyes flashed a little cruelly, “My palace is worried about the fourth child. If Xiao Huaijin takes refuge in the fourth child..."

In the dynasty, although Guangshuo's contacts are not as good as Guangyan, and the family of Concubine Lan is not as powerful as Queen Zhang, they have a natural advantage they don't have—the favor of Emperor Wenxuan.

Emperor Wenxuan loved Guangshuo, and a few old and smelly hard stones in the court also secretly supported Guangshuo, the four princes.

"The four princes don't fight for the golden mean, your Royal Highness need not worry." Xu Xiang smiled.

"That kid is unbearable, but..." The prince squinted his eyes, "It always makes people feel an eyesore."

Although everyone in the court didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that his talents and qualities were not as good as Guangshuo. Even his own people think so, even if it is the old fox in front of him... the prince's eyes passed from Xu Xiang, but he thought of another interesting thing.

"Zilan," the prince suddenly looked at Chu Zhao, "I heard that there is a maid by your side, who is beautiful and smart, but really?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhao's heart was like a basin of cold water pouring his head down, slowly turning into ice, but he was half obscure on the surface, and replied respectfully: "There is indeed such a thing."

"With this beauty, why never see you with me?" The prince asked with a smile, but there was no slight smile in his eyes.

Why? Of course, it was because once she was seen by the prince with her, Ying Xiang would not be able to stay in the Chu family anymore. For a long time, the extended character of the prince, as long as there are beautiful women, they will always be taken captive to their own house. Ying Xiang's appearance will only cause trouble for her.

"This woman is not smart in hands and feet, and because of her excessive beauty, she is inconvenient to bring her around. The officials kept her staying at the house and doing some rough work."

When the prince heard the words, he laughed, "Zi Lan, you are a violent thing. You don’t understand Lian Xiang Xiyu's temperament, and you will marry Ping Ting in the future, but you have to change it carefully, otherwise Xu Xiang will be unhappy. ."

Xu Jingfu just sat on one side and drank tea with a smile, as if he didn't hear the Ji Feng in the Prince's words.

Chu Zhao showed a somewhat bewildered look.

"It's also a violent thing to stay in your house, so it's better to give it to this palace." Prince Zhuangruo said unintentionally: "There is a lack of such a smart girl around this palace, and the East Palace is not too bad to raise personal food. What do you think?"

Chu Zhao was taken aback and looked up at Guang Yan.

The sound of the piano in the hall stopped at some point, and the dancing maid also quietly retreated. Amidst the silence, the air was stagnant like thick blood, with a disgusting feeling of suffocation. .

The young man looks handsome, but I don’t know if it’s because of excessive indulgence, his eyes are obviously black, and when he looks at people, he always shows a bit of viciousness and mania. Even though there was a smile on the corner of his mouth and staring into his own eyes, there was a bit of contempt in the air.

It was a heartfelt disdain. The superior looked at an ant-like contempt.

"What?" the prince said jokingly, "Is Zilan reluctant?"

Xu Jingfu just looked at the tea cup in front of him, and said nothing.

Chu Zhao got up, walked in front of the prince, and bowed down, "How dare Zilan? Ying Xiang can be selected by His Highness to wait on her. It is Ying Xiang's blessing. It's just that this girl is clumsy and afraid of bumping into His Highness. His Royal Highness was pleased, and when the official returned to the mansion, he immediately sent someone to send Ying Xiang."

His respectful attitude obviously pleased the prince. The prince waited for Chu Zhao to kneel for a while before he got up and lifted him up. He smiled satisfied: "Why do you need to salute, you are a close person in this palace," After the person is sent to the house, the palace will take good care of her."

Chu Zhao showed his loyalty again, and only after the prince said he was happy, he returned to his seat and sat down.

Wine and delicacies on the long table, he held the chopsticks and feasted, his expression was as usual. He didn't seem to be affected by the incident, but when he stopped the glass, his eyes fell on Xu Jingfu who was beside him.

The old man's face is kind and loving, and he seems to be somewhat open-minded, and he looks over with a smile, just like the gentle smile of his teacher when he worshipped in the corner of his robe.

Chu Zhao also smiled back at Xu Jingfu and raised his glasses to congratulate him. Just looking at it carefully, he could find that his other hand under the table, with his fingertips embedded in his palm, overflowed with a blood stain that was not deep or shallow. .

……

When I returned to Chu's house, it was getting late.

Stepping into the mansion gate, the smile on Chu Zhao's face disappeared cleanly. He is used to making a gentle smile, even when facing the servants of the Chu family, it seems unbearable today. When he enters the gate of the mansion, his face looks ugly as if water is dripping out. Dare not.

Everyone in the Chu family knew that this fourth son was terrific. When he was sent back to the mansion, everyone thought that the fourth son of Chu would not live long, and that he had an outer room, and he was still a sordid kind of brothel girl. Why? She would not be accommodated by Mrs. Chu. When Chu Zhao was a young boy, he did not meet Xu Jingfu, and he had a difficult time. Although he was protected by Chu Linfeng, Chu Linfeng was not a father who cared about his son. In a corner that Chu Linfeng couldn't see, Chu Zhao was often beaten up by making things difficult.

But the child was very tolerant, until the good luck came, Prime Minister Xu Jingfu picked him, and soon became Xu Xiang's proud disciple.

After this, Chu Zhao soared all the way, and gradually, Madam Chu couldn't move him anymore. Chu Linfeng obeyed this son's words, but Chu Zhao never changed his temperament because of this. He treated the Chu family descendants until the beginning. Since the end, they have been gentle, as always, over time, many of Mrs. Chu's people also secretly took refuge in Chu Zhao.

A more promising, more gentle and considerate master, fools know how to choose.

But today's Chu Zhao, his education and good temperament, seem to have endured to the end.

As soon as I walked into my yard, I saw a familiar lantern swaying at the door from a distance, Chu Zhao walked in, and Ying Xiang came forward: "Four sons."

He entered the room without saying a word.

Xu is his expression today is too abnormal, Ying Xiang was startled, followed in, stood beside Chu Zhao, and asked softly: "Fourth son, but what happened?"

Chu Zhao raised his eyes to the woman in front of him.

Ying Xiangsheng is beautiful, charming and charming. Standing here, she is more beautiful than Huajiao. This kind of appearance is enough even for entering the palace. In Chu's family, if it were not for the inconvenience of the maid beside him, I am afraid that Chu Linfeng would have carried Ying Xiang to his 20th concubine.

It is hard to imagine how Ying Xiang's parents were just ordinary, how to give birth to Ying Xiang's beautiful face.

The first time Chu Zhao saw Ying Xiang, he was in front of the brothel. Ying Xiang's father, a gambler was holding her wrist, and in a bargaining tone, discussed with the old bustard in the brothel whether his daughter could sell it for a little more money. Ying Xiang's mother, a woman with a big belly, just stood on the side and cried silently, dare not say anything.

At that time, Chu Zhao was only nine years old. Not long after I had just been with Xu Jingfu, Mrs. Chu didn't dare to bully him blatantly. Ying Xiang looked the same size as him. She was dressed in shabby clothes and had very white skin. Even though she was not dressed up, she could tell that she was a beautiful woman. Her expression has always been calm, not crying or making trouble, standing still, when Chu Zhao stopped to look at her on the opposite street, the girl looked up at him.

Obviously, there is no expression, but she seems to be able to see her deep sorrow and despair through her eyes. As if surrendering to the destiny that was already clear, unable to resist.

For an instant, Chu Zhao thought of Ye Runmei.

He asked Xiao Si to take two silvers to buy Ying Xiang, and went back to tell Chu Linfeng that he lacked a personal maid. Chu Linfeng thought that Chu Zhao had other thoughts. He was romantic, not only not annoyed by his son's behavior, but also extremely appreciated. So far, Ying Xiang stayed with Chu Zhao.

In recent years, Ying Xiang hasn't spoken much. What's completely different from her charming and full-bodied appearance is her quiet and submissive temperament. She also grew more and more beautiful. Chu Zhao knew in his heart that beauty would bring disasters, and the days he could protect Yingxiang were very limited.

It was probably the pity in his eyes that Ying Xiang was aware of. Ying Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he pursed his lips and asked: "Fourth son, this matter has something to do with slaves?"

"Today I went to the Prince's Mansion," Chu Zhao said: "The Prince knows about you."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Ying Xiang said calmly: "The servant girl understands."

Her answer was smooth and gentle, just like the moment when she was about to be sold by her biological father outside the brothel gate, she accepted her fate naturally, as if she had expected it a long time ago.

Chu Zhao moved his lips, and finally spit out two words, "Sorry."

Ying Xiang laughed instead. She walked to the table and poured tea to Chu Zhao as usual. The tea was simmered on the stove in advance, so that when Chu Zhao came back, she would drink hot tea, so cold. Heaven is to drink some warm stomach. She handed the tea cup to Chu Zhao's side and said softly, "After having been with the fourth son for so long, the slave and maidservant are already content. In the future, the slave and maid will not be there, so the fourth master should remember to take care of yourself."

Chu Zhao took the tea without speaking.

Ying Xiang knelt down.

"For so many years, I have been taking care of my son, and Ying Xiang has nothing to do with it. When I leave, please knock my head on the son." She knocked three heads lightly at Chu Zhao, and each knock seemed to weigh more than a thousand dollars.

After the last head knock, she leaned over for a long time without getting up.

Chu Zhao didn't stop her movement. After a long time, Ying Xiang stood up again, and she saluted Chu Zhao, "Then, the slave and maid will go back to the house to clean up and salute, the son takes care."

After that, I have to go out.

"Ying Xiang." Chu Zhao called her name.

Ying Xiang stopped and turned around. There was a ray of expectation in her eyes. The expectation was very secret, but at night, it was brighter than the stars.

Chu Zhao avoided her gaze, as if he couldn't bear to look any more, he was silent for a moment before he uttered two words.

"Take care."

……

He Yan didn't know these things about the Chu family.

These days, all her attention is focused on the Xu family. Money can make ghosts grind, driven by silver, Fuwang finally found Mother Qin's whereabouts a few days earlier than he had said before.

When He Yan got the news and went to the teahouse near Xu's house, Fu Wang approached him with a smile, as if he had done something proud and could not wait to ask for a reward.

Seeing him like this, He Yan knew that there must be a big gain, and he was also happy, so he asked: "But whereabouts?"

"My son," Fuwang is very good at coming. I won't talk about the outcome of the matter first. He only explained the hardship and danger he has been investigating these days before saying: "The little one is gambled on his life to do things for you. You can’t help but feel bad."

He Yan smiled and put the last piece of silver in her sleeves on the table. At this point, she was also a poor pauper. But in front of Fuwang, he still has to put on a dress.

"Brother do things for me, I will definitely need your benefits. These talents are just small heads. If you can do more for me in the future, the money will only be spent."

Fu Wang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart. He was afraid that after finishing this business, this mysterious person would disappear. The money is so easy to come, so I naturally want to do a long-term business. This person meant that there were other things to be done by himself, and Fuwang was a little happy in his heart.

"The little one has already inquired about the whereabouts of Mother Qin. Mother Qin has a close friend who lived in Niujiazhuang outside the city. But the little one has also inquired about it since Mother Qin. After escaping to find this mate, they no longer live in Niujiazhuang. The surname Niu was originally a blacksmith. The blacksmith Niu has a relative who lives in a barren mountain more than ten miles away from Niujiazhuang. It’s so big, it’s not easy to find someone. But they live in the mountains, they always have to change food and oil. On the tenth day of every month, the cattle blacksmith has to go down the mountain to the nearby market to buy food. He also helps others do it. For some jobs, on the day they went to buy food, they would also put the cast ironware in a blacksmith shop called'Changmao Iron Shop' for sale."

"If the son wants to find Mother Qin, he can first go to the'Changmao Iron Shop'. When the cow blacksmith goes down the mountain, he can find the cow blacksmith. Only the cow blacksmith knows about Mother Qin. Where is the mother?" Fuwang smiled slyly, "As for how to make Niu Blacksmith speak, it depends on what the son intends to do."

"These news you said are true?" He Yan asked.

"It is true. Where can the youngest dare to deceive the son?" Fu Wang said hurriedly: "It's just that now the uncle is also asking people to investigate the whereabouts of Mother Qin. It may not be impossible to find out. If the son is in a hurry, it is best to hurry to the iron shop. If the uncle is quick to board..."

It wasn't that he really kindly considered the mysterious person in front of him, but he was afraid that the mysterious person could not find Mother Qin and disappeared, and there would be no money so easily earned for him to spend in the future.

He Yan was also a little excited. She originally came to Xu's family and only wanted to find evidence, but she didn't expect to find a living. But now that Fuwang actually inquires so meticulously, it is really a surprise.

"You did a great job on this matter."

Won the compliment, Fuwang was in full bloom, as if watching a steady stream of white money coming towards him, he said smoothly: "It's a small blessing to do things for the son. If there is anything else for the son, please give it to the younger son. Nothing else, that is, legs and feet are more diligent. If you can help the son, it would be great."

It's okay if you don't say this, when He Yan said this, He Yan really thought of another thing. She hesitated for a while before she asked, "Do you know what's wrong with this grandma Xu in your house these days?"

"Grandma?" Fuwang was taken aback, feeling that the people in front of him couldn't figure it out. Earlier, he said that Aunt He was his past friend. Is it possible that this big grandma Xu also has something to do with him at the moment? In this case, wouldn't my uncle's head be covered with green clouds? For a while, Fuwang was very sympathetic to Xu Zhiheng.

He Yan didn't know that the young man in front of him had already gone as far as tens of thousands of miles in his mind. He just asked, "Don't you know what happened to Grandma Xu?"

"The little one is just a gatekeeper," Fu Wang said with a smile: "The grandma's yard is full of maidservants, and the little servants are very small. The son really wants to ask, and the little ones can run errands. But..."

"But what?" He Yan asked.

On that day, she met Madam He and He Xinying at Yuhua Temple that day, and she met the assassin. He Yan thought about it, and felt that they were inseparable from He Rufei. Although He Xinying didn't know anything, Yi He Rufei's caution might not let her go. Although he didn't get along with this sister for a long time, He Yan didn't want her to have an accident.

"But the grandma seems to be tired these few days, so she didn't go out much. When the wife went out, she didn't take her with her." Fu Wang said.

He Yan's heart tightened.

Ms. Xu didn't bring He Xinying when she went out. It was nothing at all, but it happened after she went to Yuhua Temple... It is really hard to guess that He Xinying was put under house arrest by Xu's family.

"Fuwang," He Yan looked at the person in front of him, "I ask you to do one more thing for me, staring at Grandma Xu. If something happens to Grandma Xu, or if there is any problem, please You go to the teahouse to find the guy with the pockmark on his face and let me know."

Although Fuwang had doubts, he nodded, "Good."

After the matter was explained, the two left separately. He Yan left first, and then Fu Wang. When Fu Wang left, he didn't notice that there was a figure hidden behind a column in front of a silk shop on the opposite street corner. He walked out after his figure disappeared. .

It's a woman in black.

……

At night, the door of Xiao's study was opened, and someone came in from outside.

Xiao Jue hung the sword back on the wall, took off his outer garment, and just turned around when someone knocked on the door outside.

"In."

What came in was Luan Ying in black.

Xiao Jue didn't look at her, and walked to the table. There was a pile of letters on the table. He picked up a few letters and turned them over.

Luan Ying said: "The matter that the young master asked his subordinates to inquire about, has already gotten a lot of attention."

The young man was pulling out a piece of letter paper. He didn't raise his head when he heard the words, but said: "How?"

Luan Ying hesitated a little.

Xiao Jue moved his hand and glanced at her.

It was this look that made Luan Ying make up his mind and whispered: "The subordinates stayed at the door of Xu's house for three days, and today we waited for Miss He."

The quiet drop of needles in the room can be heard.

"Miss He and the doorkeeper of the Xu family sat in a nearby tea house for half an hour before leaving. The subordinates asked the tea house buddies, they had met several times before."

Xiao Jue threw the letter in his hand on the table, sat down on the chair, looked at her and said indifferently: "What did you find?"

"The gatekeeper was named Fuwang. Recently, he has a lot of money in his hands. I looked for a person named Mother Qin in Xu's family. Mother Qin was once the nanny of Xu Zhiheng's favorite concubine He Wanru, but after He Wanru died of illness , Mother Qin disappeared."

"Subordinates guessed that Ms. He gave Fuwang a sum of money, and TOFwang asked about Mother Qin's whereabouts. But strangely, the uncle of the Xu family, Xu Zhiheng, is also looking for Mother Qin everywhere."

After Luan Ying finished speaking, she did not dare to look at Xiao Jue's expression. He Yan secretly has an unclear relationship with the Xu family, which is by no means good news for Xiao Jue. A woman with many secrets is always suspicious.

"This person named Mother Qin seems to be very important." The young man played with the paperweight in his hand, under the shadow of the oil lamp, he couldn't see clearly what he looked like.

"Have you found the whereabouts of Mother Qin?"

Luan Ying nodded: "I found it."
