I wish for a long time

On the paper, there is a sentence written in delicate and strong lower case letters: "Create branches to cook wine, pick flowers to add tea, make a wish to one person, and the wind and moon will be restless."

Ye Jiu was taken aback for a moment, since when did her Shao'er become so elegant, why didn't she say it face to face, and started playing with words instead?

However, as soon as this idea came up, she swung it down with a stick, because the handwriting did not belong to her Shao'er at all.

She knew Qi Shao'an's handwriting, although it was somewhat similar to this one, it was much more elegant.

After repeated, careful, and earnest glances, she made sure that she did not admit her mistake.

Ye Jiu frowned slowly, and she noticed that there were a few small characters on the bottom left of the paper:

"Tomorrow's hour, Jade Rouge Pavilion."

Ye Jiu felt that the stick he swung his thoughts just now turned around and swung himself again, his head was foggy.

A certain page from a certain book appeared in her mind, a verse that was exactly the same as a word on this paper.

"Say it again, who sent this?"

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, "Ms. Xie Jia, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, sent it. What's the matter, Brother Ye?"

Miss Xie Jia?

Ye Jiu was suddenly at a loss.

Isn't this... the book that Shao'er often reads these days...

Isn't it the day she... longs for...

How could such a sentimental verse appear here?

The paper in his hand seemed to be hot suddenly, Ye Jiu didn't hold it for a while, and dropped it on the table.

She pursed her lips, her eyes fell on that line of verse, and a trace of bitterness suddenly emerged from the corner of her mouth.

It turns out that this poem is not as simple as I thought.

She took a deep breath, said calmly, "Lu Lin, go and call Dong Fei."

……

That night.

When Qi Shaoan entered the door, he was really taken aback.

She looked at Ye Jiu who was already lying on the bed in disbelief, and blinked vigorously, only to be sure that it was not her hallucination.

"Ajiu?"

There was a slight smile on her face, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Ye Jiu turned around, looked at the peach shirt by the door, her eyes trembled for a moment, she smiled softly, "I didn't socialize today, so I came back."

Hearing these words, Qi Shaoan heard this, but for some reason, felt a little depressed for no reason.

It turns out that you are willing to come back earlier only if you have nothing to do with entertainment.

Qi Shaoan lowered her head slightly, and quietly concealed the corners of her lips that could not be raised. She walked to the table and put the basket in her hand away.

"This is the shredded bamboo shoot soup made by Aunt Sun. Would you like to try it?"

Ye Jiu smiled lightly, "I'm not hungry, let's put it there first."

Qi Shaoan clenched his palms, then nodded, and took off his clothes on his own.

Ye Jiu tilted his head, leaning his back against the bed, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Thinking about it, she has known Qi Shao'an for more than a year, and Qi Shao'an is He Bingxing who knows it all too well, why is it that he lost his mind because of such an idle word.

She bent her lips and smiled softly, "Shao'er is getting better and better."

Qi Shaoan paused for a moment with his hands putting on the clothes, and looked at her strangely, confused by this thoughtless compliment.

Ye Jiu shook his head, patted the place beside him, "What are you doing stupidly, why don't you come up?"

Qi Shaoan turned around, took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed with an inexplicable expression.

Feeling the movement around her, Ye Jiu pondered for a long time, finally grabbed the thin quilt, and said shallowly: "You..."

"Ajiu, I'll go out tomorrow."

Ye Jiu's only smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

As if she felt that she had heard it wrong, she frowned and looked at Qi Shaoan, and asked uncertainly, "What did you say?"

Qi Shaoan didn't realize he was there, and repeated while making the quilt, "I mean, I'm going to the street tomorrow."

Now that she finally got a clue about the second brother, although she didn't find it last time, the more she thought about it these days, the more she felt that she was not wrong. Rather than staying in the mansion all day waiting for news, she might as well try her luck again.

Seeing that there was no sound from the side, she felt a little puzzled in her heart, so she raised her head to meet Ye Jiu's eyes, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Ye Jiu suddenly looked away.

She stared at the mandarin duck picture on the brocade quilt, and slowly clenched her fists.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Is it... Yurou Pavilion?"

There was a moment of surprise in Qi Shaoan's eyes, and he nodded, "Exactly."

The last time she got to the Yurou Pavilion, she broke the clues. This time, she planned to ask around the Yurou Pavilion, or find a place to wait for the rider to come.

She was a little surprised that Ye Jiuhui could guess what she was thinking, and there was a little smile on her face unconsciously.

Unspoken, probably nothing more than that.

Ye Jiu was completely silent after hearing this.

She didn't know what to use to describe her current mood.

If we say that when she saw the note, she was shocked and even complained, but at this moment, she could only describe it as depression.

Yes, depression.

Something grabbed at my heart, and then grabbed that piece and slowly moved away from my atrium.It's like peeling off the cocoon, feeling the deeper and deeper pain bit by bit.

What is that poem, no matter what your past is, as long as you say no, then it is nothing.

However, reality gave her a loud slap in the face, and even put on a layer of Vaseline to make her look shiny.

Ye Jiu took a deep breath, suppressed the sorrow in his eyes, pulled up the quilt and lay down.

Even turned his head a little.

At this moment, she was in a mess.

Reason told her that she should absolutely trust the people beside her, but the chaotic things in her mind kept clamoring for clarification.

Whose book is that?

What is the reason for that sentence?

Who is the person passing the note?

And you...why are you going to the appointment...

Ye Jiu pinched her palm tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, she turned her head away, suppressed herself forcefully, and spoke in a steady voice.

Thousands of words, finally condensed into a few words:

"I'm tired today, go to sleep."

……

"My lord, you have found everything you want to check."

The next day, Ye Jiu was sitting in the carriage going to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, and Dong Fei rushed in on the way.

Ye Jiu calmly said, "Speak."

"The one who came to the mansion yesterday was Xie Qiyao, the daughter of Minister of the Ministry of Officials Xie She. This Lord Xie was originally the Minister of Rites. Later, after the case of King Xian and King Mu forming a party two years ago, the former Minister of Officials, Qi Zheng, was beheaded. He He took over the seat of Shangshu."

Dong Fei looked at Ye Jiujing's frightening expression, shrank her head, and said hastily: "Master Xie's family has an only son named Xie Changze besides Miss Xie, who is still white and is preparing for this year's autumn gathering. "

Ye Jiu frowned, raised his eyes, "There are more."

Dongfei thought for a moment, then laughed, "The rest are just street rumors, which seem to have nothing to do with this case."

"Say."

Dong Fei flinched subconsciously, why was she feeling cold in the early summer weather?

"I found out that the Xie family had a good relationship with the Qi family, and they had a lot of contacts. Back then, the Qi family had a daughter. According to the meaning of the two families, they intended to marry each other. However, the Qi family suffered a sudden change later. It's over."

Dong Fei became interested, "I heard that the daughter of the Qi family became famous in the capital when she danced. At that time, the threshold of the Qi family was almost smashed, but the daughter of the Qi family disappeared after dancing once. And because of the family's decline, now I don't know if I'm alive or dead."

"However, I heard people say that Xie Changze is a person who values ​​love. Now that he has two weak crowns, he is still unmarried. I'm afraid it's deeply rooted in love, and it's hard... hard to extricate himself..."

Dong Fei couldn't continue talking at the end, he felt that his young master's eyes were particularly scary today, as if he would be torn alive in the next second if he said one more word.

"Your...Young Master, that...we're here..."

The carriage had already stopped, but Ye Jiu was still sitting on the carriage without making a sound, his face was frighteningly dark.

Ye Jiu glanced at him, and slowly closed his eyes.

Even now, the villains fighting in her mind are still beating their heads crazily.

Little Iceman: You have to calm down, it's been so long, don't you know what kind of intentions Qi Shaoan has?

Little Fireman: Fuck me, the corners are digging in front of my eyes, I'm so calm! !

Ye Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, and said harshly, "Turn your head and go to Yurou Pavilion."

Dong Fei didn't realize what Ye Jiu meant, "Jade Rouge?"

"Didn't you send Nanyuan and eight guards to protect you? Are you afraid that the young lady will be in danger?"

Dongfei said that he is not worthy to understand love, so why not just visit a rouge shop, still not at ease after all this?

He hesitated and said: "Young Master, you pushed the minister of punishment yesterday, if you push it again today, how can you negotiate terms with him?"

Ye Jiu was clutching his robe tightly, his eyes were cold, it was a damn coincidence.

Dong Fei thought about what happened to Xie's family just now, and then looked at Ye Jiu's reaction. He was alert and smelled a strange smell.

"Why don't you, my lord, I'll follow the young lady, you should go to the servant's mansion first, if there is any strange phenomenon, I will definitely notify you."

Ye Jiu took a deep breath, and finally nodded, "If she hurts a hair, you will die."

After finishing speaking, she threw down the bewildered Dong Fei, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

……

Qi Shaoan came to the alley of Yurou Pavilion not long after Ye Jiu left, she looked around and found a tea house.

She found a seat by the window on the second floor, and sat on the other side with Xiao Yu, watching the people passing by downstairs.

There are many people in the market in Qingqi, and the vegetable sellers and food sellers are shouting, so it is very lively.

Qi Shao'an ordered a pot of tea, looked at the chaotic figures outside the window, thought that there would be no one riding on horseback, so he turned his head slightly, and lightly drank the tea.

"Have you heard that something happened in the Qionghua restaurant yesterday!" the diners at the next table suddenly spoke.

"Qinghua House? The biggest brothel in the capital?" The middle-aged man beside him leaned forward and asked.

"That's right, in such a big brothel, someone died yesterday."

"What?? Someone died??"

There were more and more people around the next table, Qi Shaoan frowned and listened attentively.

And the person who spoke at the beginning hurriedly greeted several people to keep quiet, and said in a half-loud voice:

"It's absolutely true. One of my brothers was working as a servant in there. He said that the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites was fighting for the oiran with the son of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. He lost his hand and beat a servant to death."

"Servant? What's the matter? His father is a minister. Wouldn't it be settled if he gave some money?"

"That's right, if you want me to say, we common people are cheap, and people can easily wipe away such things with a finger."

"However, the son of the Minister of Rites really gives his father a face. He visits flower houses and beats people to death. He is simply a mess."

The person who started it shook his head, "Not necessarily, I'm afraid we can't hide this matter, you don't know, there was a big man present at the time, he reported it directly to the official, and now Jingzhao Mansion is having a headache."

The people around were all interested, and they pulled the man one after another, "Big guy? What big guy?"

"Don't be so secretive, let's talk about it."

Qi Shaoan tilted his head slightly when he heard the words, quietly listening to what he said.

The man looked around and said mysteriously:

"Marquis Zhenyuan, have you heard of it?"

The author has something to say: fight well, live well, Ollie!
