Lost Charm

Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin did not show up at Xigui Teahouse until after noon.

Naturally, Qu Moao didn't give them a good look, he didn't even brew the tea, he casually pointed to the two cups of cold tea on the table, and said: "Anyway, you don't mind, you can drink whatever you want."

Yu Chijiong knew that he was in the wrong, after all, he saw Xu Qin was sleeping soundly and didn't wake him up, so he quickly flattered him and said, "Master's tea tastes so good even when it's cold, right, Xu Qin?"

Xu Qin glanced at Qu Moao's icy breath, and echoed a few words.Seeing Qu Moao's reticence, Yu Chijiong could only work harder and continue to admit his mistakes and flatter him.

"Shut up." When Yu Chijiong said that Master's tea is like holy water from heaven, Qu Moao finally couldn't help but speak out.

Seeing Qu Moao's failure, Yuchi winked at Xu Qin, implying that the master was offended.

"For Xu Qin, continue." Qu Moao took out a small jade pot from his cuff and put it on the table.

Yu Chijiong quickly picked up the little toy, and said with a smile: "So I came to get this thing, I said I would come to get it early in the morning. Well, Master, why is it so old and not new?"

The corners of Qu Mo'ao's mouth tightened inconspicuously, and then he returned to his cold expression, saying: "Someone made it out for me to play with before, but I just imitated it and made it for you, anyway, I didn't It is better to take out the original version so as not to waste it.”

Yuchi turned his head to the side, as if thinking about Qu Moao's words, "Master never said that."

Qu Moao choked: "I'm in a bad mood today, I just like to talk about these things."

Yu Chijiong cleverly changed the subject, handed the jade pot in front of Xu Qin, and said, "Qian Jiguang; I've used it in front of you, do you know how to use it? If something happens, just press the bottom of the pot."

Xu Qin took the old-looking jade pot, and thanked Qu Moao seriously.

Yu Chijiong looked at the joy in Xu Qin's eyes, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Qu Moao gave a rare chuckle, and said: "After all these years, Jiguang knocked on the door is still so unattractive, Zixi, go and open the door, looking for you."

Xu Qin's eyes are a little subtle, is knocking on the door emotional?

Yu Chijiong raised his eyebrows and looked at Qu Moao, but the other party didn't give any further hints, he could only be a temporary waiter in the tea house.Unexpectedly, when the door opened, not only Qian Jiguang was standing there, but also several familiar embroidered clothes.

The reason why they looked familiar was because Yu Chijiong had been with them for [-] days, he was in prison and they were outside.

It is the embroidered clothes of Nanzhen Fusi.

Qian Jiguang nodded to those embroidered clothes and said, "It will be soon."

One of them, Xiu Yi, also replied: "Qian Baihu, please make a long story short, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to become an official."

"Naturally." Qian Jiguang turned to Yuchi Jiong and said, "Yichi Qianhu, let's go in and talk."

Yuchijiong naturally sensed something was wrong, and he was polite to Nanzhen Fusi's embroidered clothes, and turned sideways to let Qian Jiguang into the tea house.

Qian Jiguang first respectfully called his master to Qu Moao, and then said to Yu Chijiong: "Scholar Chi and Third Young Master Chi were found unconscious this morning. The imperial doctor saw that everything was normal and couldn't find the reason for the coma. Hefu Qianhu looked at it and said it had nothing to do with monsters, so the governor had to call Ye Baihu to look at it. After all, he is better at these things. He said that both of them had been sucked out of three souls, so they couldn't wake up. Now use something to stabilize the remaining seven souls."

Yu Chijiong's face darkened, and he couldn't help but shouted: "How can he be so good! I was still arguing with him yesterday!"

Qu Moao said at this moment: "Zi Xi, calm down."

Hearing this, Yuchi Jiong realized that his body had already tensed up, and Xu Qin walked to his side at some point, and patted his shoulder reassuringly.

Qian Jiguang's expression was not much better, and he said, "Ye Baihu is investigating. Last night, Master Chi held a spring banquet. He was fine at that time, but he was a little cold. You know that old man's temper, everyone just said The third young master was mischievous and angered the college students again, and everyone knew that they should not see it. After the banquet, a servant said that the two of them entered the study room and stayed for a long time before returning to their respective rooms, and then it was like this."

He gritted his teeth hard, as if forcing himself to continue: "Many officials said that they saw you, Yuchi Qianhu, deliberately leading a male prostitute from Baihua Pavilion to visit before the banquet, and Master Chi couldn't see it and invited you to the study , and then you and the male prostitute disappeared... It is not a secret that you and the Chi family have a relationship, so I guess you had a big fight with Chi Dashi and broke up unhappy."

"Right now, you are a criminal in their eyes. If it weren't for your identity as Xiuyi, they would have rushed to Yuchi's mansion long ago to take you away by force. They planned to sit quietly in the palace and ask the emperor to investigate the case thoroughly, so the appeasement Let the adults take the initiative and send you to the prison of Fusi in Nanzhen."

Qu Moao said calmly, "The prison in Fusi in Nanzhen is better than the prison in the Ministry of Punishment. It's all embroidered clothes, so it won't make things difficult for you, but it's hard for the Ministry of Punishment."

Qian Jiguang didn't speak, he didn't have the courage to tell Qu Moao that his good apprentice had put Nanzhen Fusi in jail as if he was in his own home.

Yu Chijiong remained silent, but if he paid close attention, his hands were actually shaking, apparently suppressing his emotions.

Xu Qin said at this time: "Yuchi Qianhu took the male prostitutes to the Chi Mansion, why didn't I see them?"

Qian Jiguang glanced at Yu Chijiong, seeing that the other party didn't intend to reply, he said: "You are talking about you, Xu Qin. We won't tell the public who the new Xiuyi is, they will just guess if they don't know, Xu Qin, Don’t worry about it.” Of course, the reason for guessing like this is because of the rumors made by the thousand households in front of you.

Xu Qin thought for a while, and said surprisingly: "Why don't you go to jail with Yuchi Qianhu, because you have also been to the Chi Mansion."

This sentence, which seemed to be as effective as the prison sentence of going to Nanzhen Fusi, successfully caught the delicate eyes of the two embroidered clothes.

Qu Moao's expression was strange, and his tone was a bit accusatory: "Zixi, how did you teach people to be like this?"

Yu Chijiong smiled helplessly, and said: "He is just straight-tempered, and he feels that he should avoid suspicion. But, Xu Qin, Meng Yingming is just using me to gag the mouths of all the officials now, don't stand in front of them if you have nothing to do."

After finishing speaking, he solemnly said to Qian Jiguang: "I don't care about so much in prison, so please Xu Qin. Xu Qin, take care of yourself."

Xu Qin was trying to reassure Yu Chijiong when Qu Moao said: "Xu Qin stays here, I have something to ask him."

Yu Chijiong nodded and said, "Then I will leave it to Master. Qian Jiguang, let's go."

"Master, I'm leaving. I'll see you next time." Qian Jiguang bid farewell to Qu Moao obediently, while Yu Chijiong had already opened the door and left.

Qian Jiguang hurriedly followed out, and there were only two people left in the room, and it immediately fell silent.

Xu Qin felt a little embarrassment, and when he was about to find something to say, Qu Moao's cold voice sounded: "Don't worry, when they find you, you will go to accompany Zixi, you won't It will be the day after tomorrow. Sun Lie mentioned you to me, sit down, Xu Jihai."

Xu Qin's eyes turned cold, but he was Yu Chijiong's master after all, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and his attitude was still respectful: "Senior Qu knows about me?"

This probing tone made Qu Moao snort coldly: "How many Buddhist beads are black in your hand? I said don't smirk, I can't see it, so why pretend?"

Xu Qin was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Sorry, Senior Qu, I didn't mean to challenge your right..."

Qu Moao followed Xu Qin's words, and asked again: "How many Buddhist beads are black?"

"Two."

"The progress is pretty good. Xu Jihai, you must remember that you can't use the lives of innocent people, or I will stab everything in front of your adoptive father. Let's see how your adoptive father will react then?" The advantage of Qu Moao's blindness is to see Not seeing Xu Qin's cold face, he threatened with a calm demeanor: "I will probably commit suicide in anger." "

It was about his relatives, Xu Qin was not in the mood to put it on, and said coldly: "I won't do this, please rest assured, senior, and please don't disturb the recuperation of foster father."

"It's best. Xu Jihai, I just need to say a few words in your adoptive father's ear, and he will listen to me. Don't challenge my bottom line."

Xu Qin hesitated and said, "...Senior knows my adoptive father?"

Qu Moao was silent for a while, neither admitting nor denying: "... Who doesn't know Xu Yanfeng?"

Xu Qin didn't force the other party's answer, and asked: "Senior Qu only kept me here for this reason?"

Qu Moao said disapprovingly: "Of course, I warn my apprentice's partner to be a good person, lest when I become a master, I will destroy my relatives righteously in the future."

Xu Qin said expressionlessly: "Senior Qu, don't believe those rumors, they are not true." He heard from Yu Chijiong that Qu Moao didn't leave the house, so why is the gossip in the capital so psychic.

Qu Moao sneered, as if mocking Xu Qin's ignorance: "Didn't you make sworn vows with Yu Chijiong?"

Xu Qin didn't know what the other party wanted to say, his intuition was not good, but he still said: "Yes."

Qu Moao suddenly showed a spring-like smile, exactly the same as when Yu Chijiong was teasing him, and said: "Men embroidered in the Ming Dynasty don't know how to marry wives and have children, lest they bring evil spirits to their wives and have bad luck. Monsters that are not human. On the contrary, they will combine with the person they like in the form of sworn worship.”

Xu Qin's eyes widened, and his jaw almost fell to the ground. Combination?What is the old monster talking to him!

"We don't have such a relationship!" Xu Qin immediately retorted.

"Oh." Qu Moao replied meaningfully.

"Qu! Mo! Ao!" Xu Qin was so angry that he directly called out the other party's name, maybe he didn't realize it himself, his ears and cheeks were so red and hot, as if he was about to bleed.

"You are very noisy." Qu Moao waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Is it because you know in your heart whether you like someone or not? Just see if you have the desire to monopolize it. For example, when you see other people who are very close to him Intimacy, I will be unhappy or something.”

Unconsciously, Xu Qin's mind floated up the image of Chi Sanshao, recalling the loss at that time, his whole body froze immediately.

No way, could it be that he unknowingly exudes an aura of liking, so Yu Chijiong responded?

Thinking of this, Xu Qin felt like he was about to explode.
