I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Next, Mo Zhuifeng found out that a masked woman had appeared in Huaniang's Rouge shop the day before yesterday and bought a lot of things, and another ugly waiter had received Zhu Shi and others in Cui Qiniang's shop.But now in the shop, I haven't seen that ugly waiter again.

Therefore, the inference that Cui Qiniang was still alive became more and more convincing.

Mo Zhuiyu took the initiative to invite Ying, trying to find out Cui Tao, and make this fake death a real death.

"And get busy with what you're doing, that's the most important thing."

Mo Zhuifeng reminded Mo Zhuiyu not to make mistakes at critical moments.

"They must know something, so they will pretend to die and get away, hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity. If the hidden danger is not eradicated, it will be a serious disaster." Mo Zhuiyu said unconvinced.

"Back then, Su Yuwan lost the Dizang Pavilion due to impulsiveness alone. Today, the main rudder of the Ji Pavilion is almost gone. Before that, even the young master didn't get any news. At this time, you are acting flamboyantly at the foot of the Bianjing Imperial City. Do you know what the consequences will be?" Mo Zhuifeng warned Mo Zhuiyu that if he dares to act recklessly and ruin the young master's important affairs, then he, the elder brother, will not be able to help him.

"Okay, I got it." Mo Zhuiyu was a little disappointed, and when he agreed, his tone was perfunctory with dissatisfaction.

"How is the kiln?" Mo Zhuifeng asked again.

"Business as usual, no problem."

Mo Zhuifeng: "You watch it yourself, then go back."

Mo Zhuiyu snorted, obviously not very happy to go back, and sighed that he was too boring to stay there all day, "But I recently caught a few meddlers."

"You can play, but don't leave your tail behind." Mo Zhuifeng warned.

"Forget it." Mo Zhuiyu immediately agreed with a smile, and went happily.

Seeing him like this, Mo Zhuifeng sighed helplessly. Sooner or later, his younger brother will die of willfulness.

Chunli was fined and grounded for a long time for assassinating Cui Tao without authorization.Mo Zhuifeng always thought she was useless, but now she is somewhat useful.He told her that Cui Tao was still alive.

Chunli has always hated Cui Tao because of Su Yuwan's death.A few months ago, she heard that Cui Tao died in a confrontation with the Liao mission. She clapped her hands happily, and was so happy that she drank all night to celebrate.

Today, suddenly hearing that Cui Tao is not dead, Chunli is shocked, and when she recovers, she feels humiliated, she feels like a stupid monkey being played around by Cui Tao.

What's more, this woman faked her death and escaped, but kept hiding it from Han Zong, causing him to be overly sad.Did she know that because of her death, Han Zong got drunk every day, and even thought of committing suicide?Fortunately, she was saved in time.

Chun Li was furious, and all the hatred gushed out from her eyes, she hurriedly asked Mo Zhuifeng: "Sir, where is she now?"

"Wait until you tell me." Mo Zhuifeng sized Chunli up and down like he was inspecting goods, "Since you want to compare with others, if you don't even have this bit of intelligence, how can you compare?"

Chun Li immediately set off to investigate.

……

For the past two days, Cui Tao stayed in the mansion peacefully, researching and making some health-preserving soup when he had nothing to do.

Mrs. Hu hasn't returned to her hometown of Anyang yet, so she and Han Qi will temporarily live in Bianjing for a while, planning to resettle in her hometown after the new year.

But the winter weather in Bianjing is not as dry and cold as in Quanzhou. Hu's lungs are bad and he is prone to coughing. In addition, after traveling and traveling, he suddenly changed the environment. Unavoidable discomfort. symptom.

Hu was afraid that Han Qi would worry, so he didn't mention this matter to him. This is indeed not a serious problem, and it is not worth going to the doctor to take medicine.It is the medicine that is three-point poisonous, and taking too much medicine for minor ailments will make it worse.

In the past few days, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Fang have reunited, and the two of them have a lot of personal things to say, so they are together every day.

After Cui Tao learned about Hu's situation from Mrs. Fang, she boiled ginger and orange peel soup for Hu, took it twice a day by heart, and three days later, she recovered.

Mrs. Hu thanked Chou Tong very much, "You saved Zhigui, and the previous visit to my doctor was considered to have saved my life, and now I add it again. I am afraid that your kindness to us, mother and son, will never end in this lifetime."

"This time, it's really a small problem. It's nothing to worry about. Madam Hu, don't be polite. Official Han Tui is very kind to the younger generation, not to mention that he doesn't owe anything, even if he owes anything, he will definitely pay it off." Cui Tao laughed.

"How kind he can be to you. I know this child is mild-tempered, but he is not bad-hearted, so I need to trouble you to take care of him." Hu suddenly had an idea, and asked the ugly boy's parents if they were safe now. What kind of relatives are left, would he like to have multiple relatives to take care of him, and asked her what kind of girl she likes.

Seeing that this posture was not good, Cui Tao took advantage of the pain in her stomach and ran away from Mrs. Hu.

When Han Qi came back in the evening, he saw Cui Tao sitting at the table peeling melon seeds, so he asked her with a smile.

"For me?"

"This is probably the last time your fiancée will peel melon seeds for you." Cui Tao sighed.

The smile on Han Qi's face disappeared immediately, and he took a serious look at Cui Tao carefully, as if to confirm whether she was missing any arms or legs.

"What happened?" Han Qi asked hurriedly.

Cui Tao looked around mysteriously, and leaned close to Han Qi's ear.Han Qi tilted his head and moved his ears closer together.

"I think Mrs. Hu wants to recognize me as her son, and she just peels melon seeds later. Then it's not Qiniang, but Brother Seven peeling melon seeds for Brother Six."

After Cui Tao finished speaking, seeing Han Qi's expression changed again, she laughed.

Han Qi glanced at Cui Tao, and smiled warmly: "It's okay, adults have been called before, not bad for Sixth Brother."

Cough cough--

Cui Tao stuffed a melon seed into her mouth, but she still choked on Han Qi's words.

The most ruthless thing was that after Han Qi said this, he gave her a special look.

I don't know what that look means, but Cui Tao's mind is full of pictures in an instant, the kind that the old driver understands.

"It's been a while since we've been back, and there's been no movement from Zhao Zongqing's side?" Cui Tao immediately had a serious chat with Han Qi.

Han Qi shook his head, "However, recently the officials wanted to appoint Zhao Zongqing as the Observer of Songzhou, and Zhao Zongqing asked to start from a low level. He doesn't want to crowd out other officials who are in office, as long as there is a lower vacancy for him. It is said that it is for the country, regardless of rank, just do your duty.”

"There are not many royal relatives like him who are willing to take a low position. Which of them didn't sharpen their heads to seek a high position?" Cui Tao sighed.

Han Qi agreed.

"Then what official did he become in the end?" Cui Tao asked.

Han Qi shook his head, "It hasn't been decided yet. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials wants to check the remaining vacancies in Bianjing, and then ask him to make a decision."

The next day, when Cui Tao went to see Mrs. Hu again, she didn't hear Mrs. Hu inquiring about her family's situation.Presumably what Han Qi said to her old man yesterday made her lose her mind.

It seems that because of guilt because of not being able to recognize her relatives, Hu treated Cui Tao more warmly, and gave Cui Tao some of her favorite jewelry.

"Originally, I wanted to keep these items for Zhigui's wife, but why..." Thinking of Cui Qiniang's death, Hu sighed sadly, "I don't know when his marriage will be, so I will give it to you without waiting for him." Daughter-in-law stay."

"That's not quite right."

"What's inappropriate," Hu Shi was about to continue persuading Ugly Tong to accept it.

"Okay! Then the junior would be more respectful than obedient." Cui Tao put away the things without hesitation, and smiled happily.Anyway, things are destined to be given to her, so she doesn't need to be polite.

Hu was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily.

As soon as Cui Tao left, she turned her head and told Cook Fang that she really liked this child so much.It's a pity that she is ugly, but it doesn't matter, her family has no shortage of good-looking people, and it would be nice to have an ugly one.

Cui Tao's ears are sharp, and after walking quite a distance, she still heard all of Mrs. Hu's words, and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Zhu Qing, Hu's personal servant girl, came over with two women, both of whom were wearing old linen dresses, and it seemed that the family was not in a good condition.The one who walked in front tightened his neck, lowered his head, clasped his hands, and looked very nervous.Although the one behind also bowed her head, she walked calmly and powerfully, with a bit of grace.

Seeing the ugly boy, Zhu Qing hurriedly greeted him, "Just met Mrs. Hu?"

"Well, I got a lot of good things." Cui Tao asked Zhuqing, "This is it?"

"Ms. Hu said that there are too few domestic servants in the house, and she might not take good care of them, so she asked me to hire two more servants."

Cui Tao nodded, and when she was walking towards the front yard, she suddenly felt as if someone was staring at her.Cui Tao turned around and glanced around, only to see Zhuqing leading two women into Hu's house, but no one else.

Before dinner, Han Qi came back.

After taking off the crane cloak and handing it over to Zhang Chang, Han Qi told Cui Tao about Zhao Zongqing's situation: "There is only one vacant seat left, and the street secretary is working."

The street secretary is a ninth-rank official of the Zhima University. To ordinary people, he is an official after all, which is considered decent.But as far as the royal relatives and relatives are concerned, this position is not as good as the gatekeeper of the prime minister's house, which is more attractive to people.

"The grade is low enough, so he should?"

Seeing Han Qi nodding, Cui Tao couldn't help admiring Zhao Zongqing.

As the eldest son of the royal family, he was willing to devote himself to becoming an 'urban management'.If it is not because of cultivating the Tao that you have no desires or desires, it is because you have other plans.

"He invited me to drink, tonight, at the Eight Immortals Tower." Han Qi said.

"Then be careful."

After seeing off Han Qi, Cui Tao finished dinner alone.

Zhuqing came to see Cui Tao with two maids in new light green clothes, these two maids were exactly the two people Cui Tao had seen before.

"This is the maid arranged by Mrs. Hu for Mr. Hu."

"I'm a rough person, so I don't need others to serve me. Besides, I'm not used to it. If they want to stay here, I won't be able to sleep well at night. Why don't I arrange them to go somewhere else?" Cui Tao asked Zhuqing not to make things difficult she is gone.

The maids have to serve her personally, so she will be exposed too easily.

"No, Mrs. Hu said, it must be arranged for Mr. Lang." Zhu Qing still refused.

"Then tell Mrs. Hu that although sweet dates are sweet, I like to eat sour ones. If I am not forced to eat sweet ones, it will be torture for me."

Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to take the person away, and never came back after that.Cui Tao guessed that Mrs. Hu must have understood what she meant, so she didn't force her.

After making the bed, Cui Tao poured herself a cup of tea.She also wanted to wait for Han Qi to come back and see what Zhao Zongqing had said to him.But after drinking the tea, she didn't feel refreshed. She yawned several times and became more and more sleepy, and finally fell asleep on the table.

When Han Qi arrived at the Eight Immortals Building, before he could get off his horse, he heard that the back kitchen of the Eight Immortals Building had leaked out. Fortunately, the fire was not too big and was extinguished in time.

At this time, a young man greeted him, claiming that he was Zhao Zongqing's entourage, because something happened in the Eight Immortals Building, his master had to temporarily change the location to Guangxian Building.
