Yipin Farmer

"Then do you dare to make your feelings for me public?" Ting Shuang looked at him with expectation in his eyes.

Baoqi looked distressed and hesitated for a while, Ting Shuang's face collapsed, she ignored him and turned back to her seat upstairs.

"Try this shark's fin, you've never eaten it in the village, try it quickly." Baoqi coaxed him with nice words.

After a while, Thomson really brought out a plate of grilled steak, and Ye Chengfeng's servant also brought out a plate of beef with oyster sauce. It is hot, smooth and tender, without too much seasoning, only the original flavor of beef and oyster sauce, which makes people want to eat more and more.

Thomson took a sip and praised sincerely. He is also a bold person, and he readily admitted that Chinese food is world-class. Everyone ate the two kinds of beef cleanly and was very happy.

After eating and drinking enough, a group of people went to the opera garden to watch a play. At that time, the Hui troupe had not yet entered Beijing, and most of the plays in the capital were Kunqu opera, mostly with Yiyang tune. Ting Shuang didn't understand much, so Baoqi patiently explained some Kunqu opera to him Basic knowledge and some famous actors in the capital.

The imperial court forbids officials from prostitution, so officials look for their husbands to have fun, especially those actors with excellent kungfu and good looks are the pets of officials and wealthy gentry. People praise it, or they have to commit themselves to others due to power and influence, for others to play with.

Ting Shuang was very disgusted at the ugly appearance of some people who played roles in the audience, and she couldn't taste the Yi Yaya Kunqiang, so she felt very boring. Actor, even more unhappy.It's just that it's not easy to lose face in front of friends.

After watching the play and eating supper, the few people parted ways and went home separately.Baoqi and Ting Shuang returned to the mansion, Tinghui Xiaolan and the others had already gone to bed, the servant went up to meet him, took off his cloak and brought hot water, flattering him and said: "The ground dragon in the main room has been burned, and the bed has been heated with Tang Po. , the tea hanger is also ready."

Baoqi glared at him: "Where is the use of burning the earth dragon? Isn't this a waste? It's not withdrawn yet."

The servant is incomprehensible, and the master, who is always greedy for pleasure and lavish, actually knows what is wasted, which is really rare.

Ting Shuang fell asleep after washing her hands and feet, ignoring someone.

Baoqi pushes him inexplicably: "Why don't you talk, are you choking on eating too much?"

"You eat too much." Ting Shuang glared at him, and sat up to settle accounts with him, "When you were in Sanhua Village, you said you would be with me forever, do you dare to announce your feelings in front of your parents?"

Baoqi is a little embarrassed, he wants to do this, but now he is famous all over the world, and slander follows him, many people are ready to find fault with him, it is just a romantic crime to be a playboy, but Ting Shuang is already a second grade A high official in the imperial court cannot be compared with those lowly actors. If the two collide in such a public relationship, they will definitely be criticized and impeached. On the premise that he cannot be guaranteed not to be harmed, he dare not take this risk.

"Are you and I just so shameless? You'd better go support that actor." Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Ting Shuang became even angrier, and fell asleep hugging the quilt.

The servant led the order to evacuate the earth dragon. In the middle of the night, the remaining temperature dissipated, and the room gradually became cold. Ting Shuang groped for a warm place, which was naturally someone's arms.

The next morning, when Ting Shuang woke up, she found herself clinging to Baoqi like an octopus, with her face buried in someone's neck, her arms around someone's waist, and her legs stretched out...

Cough...it doesn't fit the image of the new generation of promising young people.

Baoqi didn't know it, put on an innocent look and said, "It's okay, just get used to it."

Hmph, just think about getting used to it, it's a beautiful idea.Ting Shuang poked him with an eye knife, and mourned for her octopus habit. Will she just fall asleep and crawl into his arms in the future?What if it becomes a habit to be an octopus while awake?What should I do if I quarrel?

Thinking of what happened last night, he was even more unhappy, so he continued to poke him with the eye knife, and asked, "You said before that you wanted to grow old with me, tell me why? What do you like about me?"

Am I kind?Smart and wise?Or greatness?Ting Shuang waited for his answer.

Baoqi thought for a while and said, "Because you are so stupid."

Ting Shuang was so angry that her eyes widened and she raised her fist and swung it over.

Bao Qi braced his fist and smiled: "But I like it."

Just as Ting Shuang calmed down, he heard him continue: "Being with you can show my high IQ, so I like being with you, and I want to be with you forever."

"You think it's fun to bully me, don't you?" Ting Shuang pounced on him, pinched him while riding on him.

Baoqi resisted his violent punches and said, "Do you know what your movements look like?"

It was only then that Ting Shuang realized that she was riding on him. If this posture was seen by others, it would be really difficult not to think in a wrong way.Had to climb off him.

Baoqi got out of bed, put on her clothes, and said, "Then tell me, why do you think I like you?"

Ting Shuang didn't answer, but asked instead: "Do you know which animal likes to ask why?"

"do not know."

"is pig."

"why?"

The two were fighting, and the porter came in to report, saying that the imperial envoy had come to the palace.The eunuch who delivered the decree didn't say much, but said that the queen mother was sick and called Baoqi into the palace to treat her illness.

When the summons came early in the morning, Baoqi became worried again. She originally thought that after the queen mother recovered from illness, she would ask her to find a way to help herself and Ting Shuang. With her as the backing, those criticisms from the government and the opposition would be more scruples. It seems that the situation cannot be tolerated. optimism.

In the bedroom of the Compassionate Palace, the Empress Dowager was lying on the sickbed. The Emperor was asking about illnesses in front of the couch. Several imperial physicians outside looked sad. When Baoqi entered the palace, she first asked the imperial physician quietly. Can resign to fate.

Baoqi's heart felt cold, so she forced herself to suppress her sadness and greeted her in front of the bed.

The queen mother opened her eyes and looked at Baoqi in front of the couch, took his hand, and said with difficulty: "My son, I am also happy to see you have made great achievements and achieved great success. Seeing that you are married, I feel more at ease."

After hearing this, Baoqi just wanted to cry, crying that her aunt, the queen mother, who had always loved her, was dying, and crying that her future was bleak.

"Don't cry," the queen mother said, holding his hand tightly, "whose daughter do you like, make it quickly, and I will sleep peacefully when you are married."

Baoqi had no choice but to answer "yes".Withdrew, bewildered.The emperor also stepped out of the palace, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the queen mother's illness is really getting better, so it's okay to rush, I've spotted Ding Guogong's Qianjinyue Miss for you, hurry up and do things earlier. "

"Yes." Baoqi reluctantly agreed, bid farewell and returned home in a trance, Ting Shuang still wanted to get angry with him, but heard that his complexion was very bad, so she hurried over to look, but saw that Baoqi's face was pale, and there was still something in his eyes. Tears stained, looking sad.

"What's the matter?" Ting Shuang was also worried, "Is the Queen Mother's illness getting better?"

Baoqi didn't answer, and held him for a long time before crying: "What should I do? What should you do? What should I do?"

Ting Shuang hugged him back, gently held his head in his arms, and said softly: "We have overcome no matter how difficult it is, what difficulties are we afraid of, is it more difficult than when we were trapped in Xiangyang?"

Bao Qi was soothed by him and told him what the queen mother said when he entered the palace.

"The emperor said that he wanted me to get married, what should I do?" Baoqi cried again.

Ting Shuang was also speechless, and finally knew what the majesty of the Tian family is, and the sacred order is hard to violate. If the empress dowager and the emperor insist on giving Baoqi a marriage, then they can go to foreign countries by foreign boat, but the empress dowager is seriously ill now, Baoqi is filial, so I'm afraid she won't do something that makes her sad.Thinking about how things between the two of them would not be able to appear in the sun aboveboard, he didn't want Baoqi to be in trouble.

"Then... you just... agree." For a long time, Ting Shuang said something with difficulty, and after saying it, she felt empty in her heart, as if a piece had been dug out by someone.

Baoqi buried her head in his arms, choked with despair, and said, "Don't you know how to cure diseases? If you can cure the queen mother's illness, maybe our affairs will turn around a bit. I know you There is always a way."

Ting Shuang was very frustrated. How could he cure diseases? He had only treated two patients in total. One was Qi Chongyu, who was not sick at all, and the second patient was the emperor.Although he boasted proudly and brazenly that he was a miracle doctor, he also knew in his heart that he was a bit of a weight. When the lights are exhausted, even if there is a magic doctor, it may not be cured well.

But I couldn't bear to pour cold water on Baoqi, so I had to persuade him: "Don't be too sad, everyone has their own destiny, we can't force it, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."

"But I feel that I have such a hard life. After finally finding the one I love, I have to face a breakup. I am not reconciled." Bao Qi wanted to cry again.

"Don't be sad, you don't have to be with someone if you like someone." Ting Shuang comforted him again, feeling that it was useless to say such comforting words in this situation, and said, "Why don't I go back to the village and take away the water in the pool?" Bring some spring water, it seems to be good for the body, after that earthquake, many people were sick, but the family members were not sick, and when the chicken plague broke out in the village, all the chickens raised at home were fine, it can be seen that Eye spring water works wonders."

Baoqi stopped her tears, raised her head and looked at him with strange eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Ting Shuang poked someone who was in a daze.

"I... remembered something."

"What is it?"

"I told you not to be angry." Baoqi looked at him nervously.

"What time is it? Tell me what you think of." Ting Shuang urged him anxiously.

"I thought that there is a baby that can cure all diseases. If the queen mother has such a baby, she will be cured."

"you are right……"

"I'm talking about the Azure Dragon Ball, you understand."

"I know that the royal chef in the palace, Mr. Chu, stole the treasure from the palace and has been wandering in the rivers and lakes hiding from people. Later, he died at my house, but he didn't tell me about the treasure." Ting Shuang scratched her head thinking about where the treasure might be.

Baoqi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your house has been renovated, and the ground has been turned over many times, but there is one place that has not been turned over."

Ting Shuang had an idea, and realized: "You mean the pond in my backyard?"

"Yes, only that place has not been turned over, and you just said that the water quality in your pond is the best. The peonies, eels, vegetables and fruit trees nourished by the pond water are better than other houses, and the chickens and ducks are free from chicken plague."

"What you said is that the baby is likely to be in the pond." Ting Shuang said, and suddenly became suspicious and asked, "How do you know this?"

"I... take the initiative to ask the emperor for orders to track down the Azure Dragon Ball," Bao Qi said with difficulty. The deceit of several years had to be unraveled, and he didn't care about the consequences after the unraveling. In short, he didn't want to do it again. lied to him.He closed his eyes and said bravely: "When I was eating in Changping County later, I accidentally ate that roast chicken. It happened to be the same taste as the one I ate in the palace before. It was exactly Chu Tianqing's craftsmanship..."

Ting Shuang's expression changed, he let go of his hand all of a sudden, and looked at him coldly.

"Xiaoshuang, you..." Baoqi's heart was pounding nervously.

Ting Shuang looked at him with ice-cold eyes, and her voice was ice-cold: "I understand, so you suddenly fell in the field of my house, waiting to be carried to my house, and then you pretended to have amnesia. My family stayed here just to find the baby, right?"

"I..." Baoqi lowered her head.

"Why are you bothering? You saved me once. I am a person who repays my kindness. If you have any request, I will definitely do it. How can you, a noble little prince, be able to bear doing that farm work and eating that simple food in the countryside?"

The indifferent words pierced people's hearts like a knife, Baoqi's face changed and changed, and finally turned pale, she clenched her fists, stared at him and said: "You must speak according to your conscience, I have stayed in your house for two years. Baby or for something else, you know best in your heart, but saying such words hurts my heart."

Ting Shuang sneered: "You said that I stabbed your heart, but you think highly of me. I have been cheated by you for so long like a fool. You are very proud. Since you have already guessed where the Azure Dragon Ball is, why not?" Hurry up and get it, discuss something with me, are you afraid that I won't hand over the treasure? You are the king of Pingnan now, you can raid my house as long as you give an order, not to mention digging a pond, besides, no matter how good other people's things are, I will It's not uncommon."

"You...you..." Baoqi was trembling with anger, unable to speak.

"What's wrong with me? I'm speechless, right?" Ting Shuang said in a vicious tone, "It's hard to pretend for you for so long, the best actor in the troupe is not as good as you. "

"You..." Baoqi clenched her fists and took a step forward.

"Why, do you want to hit someone because I said the central thing?"

At this time, the concierge came to report that Ruan Ying, a bachelor, had important matters to visit.Baoqi suppressed her anger and reluctantly said, "I'll explain to you later."

"No matter how much you explain, you can't cover up the fact that you lied to me." Ting Shuang shouted at him.

Baoqi ignored him, and invited Ruan Ying to sit in the main hall and have tea.

"Master Ruan is here for something important?" Bao Qi went straight to the point, wanting to send him away earlier.

Ruan Ying also got straight to the point: "The queen mother's illness is getting worse and worse, the emperor is very anxious, and ordered us to find the Azure Dragon Ball quickly. Last time you said that you lived in Meng's house to find the treasure. Did you find the treasure?"

Baoqi remained silent.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ruan Ying said, "I heard Xiaoshuang yelling just now. Did you quarrel? When did you keep arguing? Where is Xiaoshuang? Does he know the whereabouts of the baby?"

Ting Shuang came out from the back of the house and said: "That's right, I already know the whereabouts of the baby, you just need to ask your subordinate Lu Zhengming to get the baby out of my pond."

When Ruan Ying heard that he knew the whereabouts of Qinglongzhu, she was overjoyed, and when she heard the second part of his sentence, she wondered, "What Lu Zhengming, who is he? I don't have such a person under my command."

Ting Shuang was also puzzled: "Isn't he the secret agent of Shenji Camp? He was ordered to investigate the matter of Qinglongzhu."

Ruan Ying said, "It's true that I am in charge of the Shenji Camp, but I didn't send a senior secret agent to investigate this matter."

"What?" Ting Shuang jumped up in shock and her face turned pale, "You said you didn't send out secret agents?"

"Will my majestic prime minister lie to you?" Ruan Ying pointed to Bao Qi, "He is the imperial envoy who is in charge of tracking down Qinglongzhu, no one else."

Ting Shuang suddenly felt dizzy and turned around and almost fainted, Baoqi hurried forward to support him.

Now there are two groups of people looking for the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Ball, one is from the imperial court, and the other is from the Tianli religion. Since Lu Zhengming is not a secret agent of the imperial court, then he is...

Ting Shuang's whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and her heart fell to the bottom of the valley.
