I wish for a long time

It was already afternoon when Ye Jiu and Qi Shaoan returned to the courtyard.

"Now I can take it off." Qi Shaoan shook the red and green Mrs. Tang in his hand, and threw it into Ye Jiu's arms.

This is too ugly.

Ye Jiu took it in a panic, seeing Qi Shao'an's slightly pouted face, he smiled angrily.

"You..."

She finally found out that this little girl is becoming more and more impolite, and even her expressions are much richer than before.

Ye Jiu smiled and shook his head, followed her footsteps.

"Brother Ye..." Qian Yun walked out from the courtyard, looking at her hesitant to speak.

Ye Jiu was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with Qianyun?"

Qian Yun showed a look of embarrassment: "The old gentleman is here again."

Qi Shaoan couldn't help shaking when she heard the words, she looked at the courtyard and frowned slightly.

Ye Jiu took a deep breath, "Didn't we already return him?"

Qian Yun nodded: "Yes, but the old man said that he has something important to inform this time."

Her eyes wandered a few times on the faces of the two of them, rather embarrassing: "And you can only go, Brother Ye."

……

When Ye Jiu stepped into the east hall, the old gentleman was still sitting on the left chair like last time.

At this time, her face was a little chilly, and her voice was a little low when she spoke: "Is the old man here to lobby today?"

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and seeing Ye Jiu's unhappy face, he understood after thinking about it.

"Boss Ye, don't be annoyed, the old man came here today, and the lobbying is true, but there are some things, it is more appropriate to tell you."

Ye Jiu frowned: "I have to do anything."

The old gentleman stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man didn't say that you can't tell that Miss Qi."

Ye Jiu paused for a moment when she heard the words, and then relaxed her expression. She looked around, and Nan Yuan was not there.

"I hope Boss Ye can see the sincerity of the old man, and listen to me."

The old gentleman smiled kindly, Ye Jiu softened his heart, and said softly: "Please tell me, old gentleman."

The old man straightened out his thoughts and spoke slowly:

"The Marquis Mansion has been in a slump since Lord Marquis left. There are no children in the family, and the title cannot be continued. The clan has no official position in the court. If the subordinates hadn't thought about the old love, there would have been no Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in Beijing."

"For more than ten years, the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion has been trembling, never involved in party disputes, and strived to protect itself. It has persisted until this point. However, things have gotten out of control recently."

Ye Jiu listened, and suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship.

"Now that the holy dragon is not in good health, several princes in the capital are ready to move, and the Hou's mansion has also been dragged into the water."

"A few days ago, the birth mother of the third prince, Concubine Zheng, invited the old lady to live in the palace in the name of appreciating flowers. This move made it difficult for many former subordinates to make a choice."

Ye Jiu frowned: "Concubine Zheng?"

The old gentleman nodded, "Concubine Zheng's father is General Zheng Qi, the great cavalry general. When the late emperor was alive, Master Hou was under the command of Shuai Zheng. It can be said that he has been kind to Master Hou."

"Because of this relationship, the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion and the Duke of Zheng's Mansion later got closer, but at that time the prince was still young, so there was no partisan dispute. In fact, Concubine Zheng has helped the Marquis' Mansion a lot over the years, but this At this critical moment, Concubine Zheng's doing this will undoubtedly tie the Hou Mansion to the copper fire pillar."

Ye Jiu roughly understood, "So Zheng Guifei wants to use the reputation of the Marquis Mansion to intimidate the government and the public?"

The old gentleman nodded, "That's right. As a result, many military officers who supported the prince found it difficult to deal with themselves, and faintly disconnected from the Hou's residence."

"Now, even if the Hou Mansion does not support the third prince, there is no way out."

Ye Jiu didn't say anything after hearing this. It can be said that the original Hou's Mansion might still be called a great hermit in the city, but now it has been brought to the forefront by Concubine Zheng.

It's not easy to get out of the body.

"Actually, I didn't want to take you to the capital in such a hurry. If it wasn't for the fact that the Hou Mansion is already in danger like a castle in the sky, I would wait until you open the store to the capital and then tell the truth."

There was some regret in the eyes of the old gentleman: "I must not let Hou Ye's hard work over the years be ruined. I only hope that Jin'er can leave for Beijing today and take charge of the overall situation."

Ye Jiu didn't say anything when she heard the words, she was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head:

"Old man, I sympathize with how the Hou Mansion ended up like this, but—"

Ye Jiu raised his head and looked directly at the old gentleman: "I'm not the person you're looking for at all. The twists and turns in it are too complicated. I'm sure I remember the memories before I was eight years old, and I don't have anything about this place or the Zhenyuanhou Mansion."

The old man lowered his eyelids, and he sighed, "Then how do you explain the blood amber bead and the bracelet?"

Ye Jiu choked.

"I also want to know why."

The old man sat upright, looked at Ye Jiu, with sadness and hope in his eyes: "Even so, why don't you go back to the capital with me to find out."

Ye Jiu was stunned, indeed, the only way for the string of beads surrounded by mysteries and all the magical coincidences is to go back and find out its source, and maybe even know why he came here.

The old gentleman watched Ye Jiu hang his head down and remained silent for a while, so he tried to persuade him a few more words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ye Jiu suddenly raised his head.

The old man was overjoyed, "Boss Ye has figured it out?"

Ye Jiu nodded, "Yes, I figured it out."

"Then we..."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Old gentleman: "..."

His hands froze for a while, obviously he didn't expect Ye Jiu to refuse so simply again.

"Boss Ye, why is this?"

Ye Jiu looked at the old gentleman seriously: "Firstly, I'm not interested in the Hou's Mansion you mentioned, secondly, according to my memory, I have no obligation to clean up the mess in the Hou's Mansion, and thirdly, I don't like the capital, so I don't go."

The old man took a few deep breaths, and the hand holding the handle of the chair trembled slightly.

He suddenly felt that Nanyuan's bastard was quite cute.

At least he won't make himself so angry.

"Boss Ye, you have to know that even if you don't want to go, I have a way to take you there."

Ye Jiu frowned, "Old man, what do you mean?"

The old man curled his lips into a smile, "There are a lot of people living in the rivers and lakes, and they can always learn some dirty tricks."

"..."

Ye Jiu's brows twitched, she almost forgot that this group of guys were trained on the battlefield, and their strength values ​​were beyond the charts, how could she, a weak chicken, compare to them?

She tried her best to keep calm, if she couldn't beat... then could she still... run?

That's right, take the opportunity to run to the ends of the earth, you are capable, go find it!

"Could Boss Ye want to sneak away?"

The old man's voice suddenly rang in Ye Jiu's ears, and the corners of her mouth that had just raised froze.

"Excuse me, old man, I know all about the flies running out of your small courtyard."

Ye Jiu was speechless.

What can she do when she encounters such a "KGB" who can't fight or run away!

However, before she could think of a countermeasure, the old gentleman's voice sounded again, ethereal as the wind:

"Boss Ye doesn't plan to think about it, Miss Qi?"

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, Shao'er?

She suddenly had a bad premonition, her eyes dodged for a moment, but she kept her voice steady: "What are you thinking about?"

The old man smiled slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly: "Boss Ye really doesn't know what the old man is referring to?"

Ye Jiu suppressed the waves in his heart, looked at him calmly, and said in a cold tone, "I don't know."

The old gentleman smiled indifferently, "Qi An..."

Ye Jiuyin clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists.

"The real name should be, Qi Shao'an."

Ye Jiu sneered in his heart, sure enough.

The old gentleman ignored her, but said to himself:

"The old man remembers that in the past, Master Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had a young daughter who was good at dancing. She had only been in Beijing for five years before she became famous, and the little girl seemed to have the word Shao in her name."

Ye Jiu's eyes trembled, and he forced himself to be calm: "I don't understand what you are saying."

There was a meaningful smile on the old man's face: "The old man was lucky enough to watch it, and the dancing posture was exactly the same as that in the old flower festival."

Ye Jiu snorted, and smiled nonchalantly: "Dances all over the world have the same origin, and there are similarities, but it's just a coincidence."

The old gentleman smiled slightly:

"Whether it is true or not, the government will know when it is checked."

Ye Jiu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"The daughter of the Qi family is supposed to be an official slave. I think the county magistrate Wei will not give up such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Ye Jiu's nails dug deep into her flesh, and the momentary pain made her calm down, so she wouldn't curse on the spot.

There were layers of frost in her eyes.

How dare he threaten her with Shao'er...

I thought that everything would be fine if I gave Shao'er a fake identity, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would fall into the trap.

The old gentleman looked at Ye Jiu's sitting body trembling slightly, and then eased his tone:

"Boss Ye, if you go to Beijing with me, I won't say a word to Miss Qi in front of others."

Ye Jiu clenched his back teeth tightly, without any expression on his face.

And what she's thinking now is how to quietly pack up her things and run away with Qi Shao'an. Just kidding, Shao'er's identity is a bomb. She's just an ordinary person, how can she be tough with this kind of person?

Seeing that Ye Jiujiu didn't answer, the old gentleman suddenly smiled.

"Boss Ye still wants to escape."

Ye Jiu paused.

Grass, goblin?

What is mind reading?

"Hey, Boss Ye, don't bother thinking about it. You can't escape by yourself, let alone bring this weak girl."

"I think, Boss Ye doesn't want Miss Qi to be separated from you and spend the rest of her life in hiding."

Ye Jiu was silent again.

At this moment, the room was a little dark, covering the frustration and powerlessness in her eyes.

The old man glanced at Ye Jiu, as if he couldn't bear it, he gently put down his teacup, and said in a deep voice:

"Boss Ye."

"If I say, there are relatives still in Miss Qi's house."

In a word, like a thunderbolt, it struck Ye Jiutian's spirit cover.

She froze for a moment.

There are still relatives.

Ke Shaoer clearly said...

Ye Jiu suddenly remembered something.

Seeing Ye Jiu's eyes bright and dark, the old man continued to explain: "It was a coincidence back then. At that time, the case of the crown prince was full of troubles. No one dared to touch this bad luck, but someone entrusted him to the Hou's mansion to save one person."

Ye Jiu blurted out in an instant: "Who is it!"

Her voice trembled a little due to emotional fluctuations.

There is an answer in her heart that is ready to come out, but she dare not continue to think about it, she is afraid that what she hears is not that name...

The old gentleman looked directly at her, and said word by word: "The second son of the Qi family, Qi Zhuxi."

"Clap-"

The teacup in Ye Jiu's hand fell with the sound, rolled around a few times, and the tea stains spread all over the floor.

The author has something to say: Alas, there are thousands of roads, and safety comes first.

The lesson of Dahongsuo told me to drive a hammer car!
