old grace

Xie Qinghe searched the house very meticulously, holding all the vases on the table in his hand, took out the flower branches, poured out the clear water, and checked the bottom of the vase.

He checked in such a detailed way that He Jing went crazy: "Sir, what exactly are you looking for? You can give a general description, so we can help find it together. Oh, his house is so big, If you keep looking like this, I'm afraid you won't find dawn!"

Xie Qinghe knew that he was afraid that Yuan Shizhen would bring someone to make trouble.

It happened that the white porcelain bottle in his hand was emptied of water, Xie Qinghe also poured some tea, rinsed it, and immediately took the empty porcelain bottle, walked to the door, and said: "Yuan Shi'an? What are you doing there? Come in. "

Yuan Shi An Dihun, who was squatting at the door, turned around in a daze.

All I saw was Jiang Yingzhou's skin, containing a radiant divine figure. The light and shadow described him as handsome and calm, making people dare not look up.There was an impulse in his heart that should not be desecrated and must be worshiped, and subconsciously replied: "Sir, I am watching Dad dance sword."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shi'an showed an incredulous expression.Only then did he realize that this divine figure was Mr. Jiang.

Xie Qinghe followed his gaze, the yard was empty, there was nothing.

"It's getting late, come back." Xie Qinghe said.

Sometimes when encountering an earth soul that refuses to obey, they have to be taken in by force.Xie Qinghe doesn't have the blessing of skin cultivation at this moment, so forcibly acting might hurt Yuan Shi'an's soul.

Who knew that Yuan Shi'an was very obedient and walked back obediently.

Xie Qinghe raised the porcelain vase, Yuan Shi'an didn't resist, obviously trusted Xie Qinghe very much, and was taken in quickly.

After finishing all this, Xie Qinghe took the porcelain bottle in his hand, turned around and saw He Jing and all the servants looking nervous.

"Prepare incense table, yellow paper, cinnabar." Xie Qinghe said.

He Jing hurriedly asked the servants to prepare.

Xie Qinghe held the porcelain bottle in his left hand and continued to search the room.

"Sir, what were you doing just now?" He Jing kept looking into the porcelain bottle.

Xie Qinghe didn't intend to explain: "Beyond the heaven and earth, saints exist and don't care."

"No, sir, you've just got it right, so what do you mean by keeping it? That... Shi'an is not in this bottle, is it?" He Jing took advantage of the situation to look and found that there was nothing in the bottle ,Nothing at all.

Xie Qinghe picked up a magpie feather duster and swept him three feet away: "Stay out of the way."

Only a small area of ​​the house was searched, and the servants sent by He Jing to buy hadn't returned yet. There were messy and noisy footsteps outside the yard, and the fire was so bright that a servant came trotting in immediately: "Young master, the young master brought you People are coming, I'm afraid I can't stop them."

There was shouting and cursing and fighting outside.

He Jing looked at Xie Qinghe nervously, and said, "Sir, why don't you leave now?"

Xie Qinghe shook his head and said, "No need."

He had asked He Jing to take Yuan Shi'an away, because he was worried that Yuan Shi'an would encounter some difficult symptoms that could not be resolved for a while.

While speaking, Yuan Shizhen rushed in aggressively with someone.

Yuan Shi'an's servants were originally from Qianxihou's Mansion, so they were fine with other people, but they didn't work hard for the own people brought by Uehara Shizhen.The ones brought by He Jing were all loyal and skilled fighters, they couldn't hold back the opponent's numbers, and they were beaten to the point of bleeding, it was really impossible to stop them.

After Yuan Shizhen rushed in, more than a dozen of He Jing's servants followed, their faces covered with blood and ashamed.

"Come on, arrest this bandit!" Yuan Shizhen pointed at Xie Qinghe and roared.

Seven or eight sturdy servants rushed up with fierce faces, intending to break Xie Qinghe's neck directly.

He Jing was so frightened that she rushed up to protect Xie Qinghe: "Yuan Shizhen, don't mess around! This is my teacher and Shizi's teacher, you..." Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the Qianxihou's servant who rushed up The neckline was broken, and it was about to be thrown out.

The servants of the He family who were guarding the side were also in a hurry, rushing up regardless of being covered in blood.

Just now.

Xie Qinghe took He Jing's collar, and only tapped the other's servant's wrist with his fingertips. With a flick of the skirt, the servant flew out.

Yuan Shizhen watched helplessly, subconsciously feeling a little stuffy in his chest!

Others don't know what happened, but Yuan Shizhen knows!That brat is out!He raised his foot and kicked someone in the chest again!

"Take him down!" Yuan Shizhen clutched his chest, blushing with anger, "Take off his legs for me!"

Xie Qinghe chose to kick people with his legs because his legs are stronger than his fists without long-term training.What's more, with the porcelain bottle containing Yuan Shi's An Di soul in his hand at the moment, it's even more difficult to take risks with his fists and feet.

Surrounded by seven or eight strong servants, all of whom had learned martial arts, Xie Qinghe jumped up, kicked in a circle, and immediately fell to the ground.

Yuan Shizhen was stunned: "Quick, go again!"

He Jing's servants also rushed up, stood in front of He Jing and Xie Qinghe, and fought with the surrounding servants of the Marquis of Qianxi.

The servants of the Marquis of Qianxi have all learned martial arts, and their bodies are bigger and stronger. Compared with the servants brought by He Jing, they want to be at a disadvantage, and He Jing's servants suffered a disadvantage when they were outside just now. Brave general, the fight is terrible.

Xie Qinghe has never encountered such a disadvantage in his own camp, he waved He Jing away: "Stand farther away."

He Jing was thrown into the air by him, and fell directly on Yuan Shi'an's bed, staggered two steps and sat down, almost sitting on Yuan Shi'an's face.

Xie Qinghe began to clean up the battlefield little by little, grabbed a He family servant and threw it behind his back, taking advantage of the opportunity to take over the attacking opponent.

After coming to this world, Xie Qinghe was very measured when fighting with others, and he never really hurt anyone when he taught the gangsters who gathered in the courtyard to gamble.Today, seeing the servants of the Marquis of Qianxi's mansion bullying others, beating the members of the He family to the point of bloodshed, his eyes became a little bit more stern, and when his fists touched his body, he stabbed out the sword formula quickly.As far as the fingertips are concerned, the touch will immediately jump.

The servants of the He family were thrown behind Xie Qinghe one by one, and the servants brought by Yuan Shizhen on the opposite side were still numerous and overwhelming.

At this time, the servants of Qianxihou's Mansion were also a little scared.

"Stand back." A mature voice came from behind the crowd, "You are no match for him."

When Yuan Shizhen heard this voice, his original unruly expression instantly subsided. The crowd parted, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue Confucian shirt came out.

Yuan Shizhen stepped forward to salute, and called: "Master Xin, this person kicked me when he entered the door, and even came to make trouble in the elder brother's house. I don't know who the thief is. Please take care of him quickly, and don't call him out." Delayed the elder brother's illness."

That Master Xin looked Xie Qinghe up and down several times, then cupped his hands and said: "Old Master Hanhaimen Xin Zhongdao, haven't you asked for advice yet?"

What Xie Qinghe looked at was the iron walking stick in Xin Zhongdao's hand. After withdrawing his gaze, he did not salute him, and said, "I just look at your hidden weapon and poisoned walking stick, and I know that your sword skills are not very good. Used to pretend."

These words directly exposed Xin Zhongdao's old background, and his posture was too arrogant and contemptuous, everyone present was shocked.

After all, this is a world that pays attention to humility and moderation. No matter how much you look down on the other party, you have to be polite. If you take care of the other party's face, let the opponent be convinced, and you win decent and generous, you will be praised and praised by the world. A word of noble character.

Xin Zhongdao maintained his dignity and insisted on his complexion unchanged, the veins on his neck swelled slightly with anger.

When the audience was shocked, Xie Qinghe actually raised his airs and said, "I have nothing to tell you."

He Jing sat with her knees hugged by Yuan Shi'an's pillow, seeing Xie Qinghe pointing Xin Zhongdao, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

——At the beginning, he and Yuan Shi'an went to the small courtyard to study together. At that time, Yuan An's academic attitude was not correct, and he was spotted by his husband, and he was unceremoniously rejected him. His tone and posture were exactly the same as now .

A kid next to Xin Zhongdao couldn't take it anymore, jumped out and pointed at Xie Qinghe and scolded: "My master said that he hasn't asked for advice yet, but he is asking what your name is and where you came from, a little bastard, not asking you to give advice to my master. ! Is your brain working well?"

Xie Qinghe looked at him.

Xin Zhongdao's expression was a little too horrible to look at, and his eyes made people pull back the silly apprentice beside him.

"This friend's tone is serious. Since we are all people in the world, we follow the old rules and see the truth in our hands." Xin Zhongdao handed the iron cane to the apprentice beside him, and slowly approached the room, "Your Excellency said that there is something wrong with the old man's cane. Then let's do a few tricks with our bare hands."

Xie Qinghe immediately knew that this person must be one of the participants in the murder of Yuan Shi'an.

He may know about it, or he may be ordered to do so, but his goal is the porcelain vase in Xie Qinghe's hand, so he will use the donkey down the slope to talk about fistfights.

He Jing immediately jumped up: "Sir! Sir, give me the vase! I'll take it."

"You can't hold it." Xie Qinghe shook his head.

Jiang Yingzhou's skin does not have any cultivation qualifications, and he uses porcelain vases to preserve Yuan Shi'an's earth soul, all relying on the power of his own soul.Once he let go, Yuan Shi'an's soul would fly out of the porcelain bottle.

If no one is watching in the dark, flying out will fly out, just looking for it again.

The reason why he had to put it in the porcelain bottle in advance was because Xie Qinghe felt the danger.

"That won't work!" He Jing rushed out of the bed, "Yuan Shizhen, don't play tricks! So many of us have seen what happened today, Brother Yuan, if there is something wrong, I will make a song for you and it will be heard on the streets. Do you think the palace can grant you the title of Marquis of Qianxi!"

When the word title was mentioned in Qianxi Hou's Mansion, Yuan Shizhen had a murderous look in his eyes: "Young Master He, be careful with your words."

Xin Zhongdao stared at Xie Qinghe with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "If the child is afraid, just kneel down and kowtow to the old man, admitting that he does not know the heights of the sky and the earth when he speaks wild words, and the old man is not as fussy as you. Why bother to find some plausible reasons , involving something that has disappeared?"

Xie Qinghe held the porcelain vase in his left hand, and beckoned to Xin Zhongdao with his right: "Come."

He Jing still wanted to talk, but Xie Qinghe was impatient with his noise, so he slapped him lightly and sent him back to Yuan Shi'an's hospital bed.

"Mr. Jiang, you also..." He Jing threw herself on Yuan Shi'an's lap this time, and before getting up, she sat on the head of the bed. it's over.

He Jing wiped her eyes, and asked the servant beside her whose head was still bleeding: "Did you see clearly?"

The servant blinked.

He Jing asked Yuan Shi'an's maid again: "Have you seen it clearly?"

The maid shook her head blankly.

Only Yuan Shizhen knew what happened!

Xin Zhongdao had already flown out, farther than everyone else, directly out of Yuan Shi'an's yard!

Yuan Shizhen stared at Xie Qinghe with a livid face.He saw Xie Qinghe's skirt flicker, and Xin Zhongdao flew out.

It was kicked!It was kicked again!This product!It's amazing to have legs!

It's like fisting, but actually kicking someone!

Cheating!

fraud!Scoundrel!

Xie Qinghe actually asked him: "Master Zhong is not good for you, is there any Master Uncle? Please come out together."

Yuan Shizhen had a brain after all, seeing that Xie Qinghe had no choice but to stop here, he immediately said a few harsh words and prepared to retreat.Before the ruthless words were finished, another group of people came in with lanterns.This time, all the servants and maids came back. Yuan Shizhen's face changed drastically, and he saw a dignified servant woman with a long bun and a gray skirt coming out.

Xie Qinghe was wondering where this person came from, even He Jing got up obediently, stepped forward to salute: "Aunt Yanchi!"

Yuan Shizhen also lowered his head obediently like a kitten: "Hello, aunt. Good night, aunt. You have worked hard, aunt."

This servant woman named Yanchi is about 40 years old, she does not apply makeup, and her beauty is still there.She first talked to He Jing, then gave Xie Qinghe a little blessing, and then looked at Yuan Shizhen seriously, and said: "The eldest son is being naughty again. Madam sent servants to invite the eldest son to go back to the study to read."

Yuan Shizhen nodded with his hands tied: "Yes, yes, let's go."

The two little maids brought by Yanchi carried the lamp for Yuan Shizhen, and they took him back.

The servants who came with Yuan Shizhen didn't dare to stay longer, they lifted up the companions and brothers who were put down by Xie Qinghe on the ground, and they left after a while, and the yard soon became empty, leaving only blood on the ground It was a mess with the household utensils that were broken during the fight.

Yan Chi smiled at He Jing again, smiled slightly, and left quietly with the servants and maids.

It wasn't until these waves of people had gone far that He Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, Aunt Yanchi is here, and Mrs. Jiao knows about it. With her looking at Yuan Shizhen, it's all right tonight, no Let’s make trouble again.”

Xie Qinghe couldn't help but look at him more, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

He Jing didn't hear clearly: "Sir, what did you just say?"

Xie Qinghe has already started to search in the house.There was such an incident just now, and he confirmed that the person who secretly murdered Yuan Shi'an must have become a monk halfway or had an incomplete inheritance, so he couldn't control Yuan Shi'an's state of leaving his soul. All in all, he was not a master.

This also proves that this person cannot extract Yuan Shi'an's earth soul out of thin air, and will definitely place some kind of spiritual object beside Yuan Shi'an as a medium.

Xie Qinghe couldn't help shaking his head.

The truth of the world is so mysterious.

If this person is a master and forcibly took away Yuan Shi'an's earth soul, Xie Qinghe would be able to follow the source of the law to find out the identity of the other party immediately.

It is precisely because the other party is a half-assed person that Xie Qinghe can't find any clues about the other party.Unless, he can find the spiritual thing that acts as a medium, he can follow the clues to find the real behind-the-scenes manipulator, and save Yuan Shi, An Yong from future troubles.

On his side, he searched earnestly, while Yuan Shi'an's servants found wound medicine and gauze, and wrapped the wounds of He's servants.

He Jing suddenly said: "Why hasn't Fu Guier come back yet? Ronghua, you...forget it, you have a broken head. Who is less injured? Go out and find Fu Guier, don't be stopped by that boy Yuan Shizhen Already!"

Immediately, a little man who was luckier and less injured stood up: "My lord, I'll go."

"Go, go, do your errands well, and you will be rewarded when you come back." He Jing waved her hand.

The little guy ran out with a smile.

Xie Qinghe suddenly twitched his fingers, he turned his head and saw the back of the little man: "Stop!"

The little man had already run a long way, did not hear his shout, turned around and left the Crescent Gate.

He Jing hurriedly sent someone: "Go and call him back!"

Before the He family servant who was wounded could go out, Xie Qinghe put down the pink porcelain grape flower cup in his hand, and flew out quickly.

As soon as he jumped out of the courtyard gate, Xie Qinghe stood tall and saw the flammable dry grass and dry firewood spread at the gate of the courtyard. Someone wanted to burn Yuan Shi'an's courtyard!The little man turned around and went out, naturally breaking through the matter.The two stout servants had already clamped the little man in their hands, and were about to strangle him to death——Xie Qinghe's fingertips popped out two pieces of silver, and hit the eyebrows of the two of them, killing him on the spot.

Before the rest of the servants gathered around, Xie Qinghe had already lifted the collar of the little guy, and patted him on the back.

The little man who had held his breath seemed to wake up from death, took a sharp breath, and resumed his breathing.

At this time, He Jing had already led people to chase him out, Xie Qinghe threw the little guy back to the yard, and said: "Carry Yuan Shi'an on your back, let's go!"

He Jing ran back as soon as she could, plunged headlong into Yuan Shi'an's bedroom, and pulled Yuan Shi'an up. The servants of the He family wanted to help run with Yuan Shi'an on her back. He Jing's eyes turned red: "I'll carry it! Come back! Help him up! Don't move him!"

The servants had no choice but to help Yuan Shi'an up and put him on his back.He Jing gritted her teeth and carried her on her back. The veins on her neck were bulging, and she ran out all the way with red eyes. The servants of the He family had no choice but to follow and help.

He Jing ran all the way and shouted: "Sir, we are here, we are here!"

Both of Yuan Shi'an's legs dragged on the ground, and the tip of his toes on the ground almost sparked, so angry that Yuan Shi'an's nanny chased after him and scolded: "You are not good enough for four or six, knocking on the tip of my little ancestor's toes, Ouch!"

The servants of the He family hurriedly lifted up Yuan Shi'an's two feet, and apologized to the old mother: "Okay, okay, lift it up!"

The fire at the door was already burning.

A lot of kerosene was poured on the dry grass and wood, and the fire burned blazingly, and the temperature rose instantly.

Xie Qinghe knocked down the servants nearby who were holding firewood to light the fire. With a touch of his toes, he could walk straight on the wall. He Jing and a group of servants could not do this, and it was quite difficult to break through.

When He Jing's scalp was numb, all the servants knelt down one after another: "Sir, just take your son and son away! I'll find my own way out!"

Before He Jing could be moved, Xie Qinghe flew up and kicked the solid courtyard wall open.

Dumbfounded, the cracked bricks and stones of the courtyard wall flew twenty feet away with the burning wood outside.

Xie Qinghe kicked along the burning courtyard wall section by section, so that the burning wood flew everywhere, clearing a path for the courtyard buried by the fire.At this time, the floor was still scorching hot under the high temperature, and He Jing took Yuan Shi'an on his back for two steps, which made him run fast while screaming: "Hot, ouch, hot, my feet are cooked..."

I don't know where Xie Qinghe found a jar of water, and poured it over with a puff, which just happened to splash He Jing's face.

He Jing opened her mouth and took a sip: "Hot... hiccup..."

Xie Qinghe had already cleared the way forward, took Yuan Shi'an from He Jing's back, and said, "Follow me."

Yuan Shi'an's mother pointed the way: "There is a small path leading directly to the back door."

Xie Qinghe didn't intend to leave the door.He thought he had suffered a lot of grievances today, Qianxihou's mansion was devastated and set on fire, bullying his apprentice like this has already aroused his real anger.Carrying Yuan Shi'an on his back, he just went out, kicked the wall if there was a wall in front of him, and kicked the door if there was a door. If a servant who didn't have eyes came to stop him, he would definitely hurt his muscles and bones, and he would lie on the ground and couldn't get up again.

He Jing and a servant girl followed him a little timidly at first, and when they saw him blocking gods and Buddhas blocking Buddhas, they gradually began to tremble with joy—since Yuan Shi'an fell into a coma for no reason, in order to Protecting Yuan Shi'an, Yuan Shi'an's subordinates have suffered so much and suffered so much, and He Jing, who is a friend and an outsider, has suffered countless grievances. Finally, this bird's breath comes out!

When the last wall of Qianxihou's Mansion in front of Xie Qinghe was also kicked away, the capital street was outside.

He forcibly pierced Qianxihou's Mansion from the middle.

Xie Qinghe stood on the side of the road with Yuan Shi'an on his back. From his position, he could directly see the courtyard where Yuan Shi'an slept.

Scattered wood with kerosene that was not easy to extinguish was ignited everywhere in the Qianxi Hou Mansion, and the flames had already been everywhere.Xie Qinghe's eyes were like sharp arrows and straight knives, piercing into the Chengyuan Pavilion where he used to sleep peacefully.

"Save lives first today. The humiliation of lighting a fire to drive away will be returned in the future!" Xie Qinghe said word by word.

He Jing was speechless.When you got angry, the Qianxi Hou Mansion was beaten in half. The common people on the street could see most of the layout and privacy of the Hou Mansion from the outside. It was like riding on the face of the Qianxi Hou Mansion.Who insulted whom?Hey, are you still angry?

Xie Qinghe turned to look at him.

He Jing came to her senses: "Ah, yes, let's... go to the outskirts of the city. My mother has a dowry garden there."

Xie Qinghe reminded him: "My second sister."

He Jing turned to look for someone again: "Ronghua, Ronghua, hurry up, take someone to find Qi Jing and Qi'an, bring more people, and make sure to bring Aunt Jiang to the suburban garden safely. You all go, go quickly !"

Xie Qinghe has already seen the viciousness of the Qianxihou Mansion, and He Jing's servants are no match at all, so how could he entrust Jiang Erniang's safety to these people?

Fortunately, Qi Jing and Qi An were more clever, and when they hired a sedan chair to escort Jiang Erniang to Qianxihou's Mansion, there were already shouts of water.The two of them knew something was wrong, no matter how much Jiang Erniang urged, they just refused to take Jiang Erniang to Qianxi Hou Mansion to save his younger brother, so they waited nearby for news.

When Ronghua led people to search along the road, these two people ran out with Jiang Erniang and met Xie Qinghe safely and smoothly.

Xie Qinghe ordered: "Reward."

He Jing now obeys Xie Qinghe's words and admires him: "Reward, immediately reward, heavy reward!"

There was still some distance to go to the outskirts of the city, and the servants of the He family quickly found a carriage. He Jing didn't bother to look for Fu Gui'er, so she asked the servants to buy incense candles, yellow paper and cinnabar, and dragged them all to the outskirts of the city. Garden.

He Jing's mother, Mrs. Xuan, was born in Duke Wei's mansion, so the garden where she married is naturally a place with good scenery.Because Mrs. Xuan followed He Jing's father, He Qiming, and his nephew was not at home, and He Jing also studied in Yangting County all year round. The garden was only managed by servants. The servants emptied all the precious flowers and plants, and all the peacock and golden pheasant Instead of ordinary chickens and ducks, it looks a little funny.

The garden was already very big, but He Jing and someone broke in in the middle of the night, and the servants guarding the garden were sleeping soundly elsewhere, so they didn't know that someone had entered.

When they went to the place to be temporarily resettled, most of the group were wounded soldiers, because Yuan Shi'an was still in a coma, and no one cared about making up their bedding to sleep, so no one went to find the servant who guarded the garden.After lighting the lamps, Yuan Shi'an's servants went to boil the water, while He's servants helped arrange the incense table.

Jiang Erniang had seen her younger brother doing super-duplication in Yangting County, but she didn't know how capable he was. Seeing such a big battle, she quietly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, is it okay?" When An rescued her, she was afraid that her younger brother would be beaten to death by these servants.

"It will be fine in a moment. Second sister, you have been tired all day, why don't you rest first? I will stay here today and I won't leave." Xie Qinghe said.

Jiang Erniang kept shaking her head: "I'm not tired, I'll be with you."

Xie Qinghe lit a joss stick before the case, melted the cinnabar on the spot, and drew a talisman.

All the servants who had nothing to do for the time being gathered around, staring at his movements without blinking, wanting to see what kind of supernatural power he had.Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe didn't ring the bell and wave the sword, let alone all kinds of scientific rituals. Before drawing the talisman, he lit three sticks of incense, pressed the talisman on the candle flame and burned it, muttered a few words that no one heard, and lit three more sticks of incense Inserting the censer, hugging Zi Wu with his fists and making a slight bow, he turned around immediately.

The nanny who was guarding Yuan Shi'an exclaimed, "My little ancestor! Wake up!"

Several serving maids also cheered: "Wake up, wake up, the prince is awake!"

Jiang Erniang breathed a sigh of relief just now.

He Jing bowed to Xie Qinghe to the ground, ran in hastily, and squatted down before taking two steps, ouch, ouch, yelled in pain: "My soles hurt...quick, show me, are my feet blistered... ..."

Among all the people who escaped from the Qianxi Hou Mansion, except for Xie Qinghe and Yuan Shi'an, the soles of their feet were scalded by the high temperature and blistered.

Yuan Shi'an, who had just woken up, was deeply confused by this, and He Jing told his servants to apply scald ointment on his feet while telling him the experience of the past few days, focusing on describing the thrilling escape road tonight with twists and turns.

After finishing speaking, He Jing was going to look for Xie Qinghe: "Sir... eh? Where is Mr.?"

The little man whose life was saved by Xie Qinghe replied: "Mister said he was tired and went to rest. Let's talk about other things tomorrow."

He Jing hurriedly said: "Yes, sir, you have worked hard today. Where have you settled for sir? Is the quilt laid out? Has the hot water been delivered? Sir, I want to drink tea at night, and I will soon make the tea and send it to sleep. Don’t wake up when you’re caught! People still want me to teach you?”

Yuan Shi'an was lying weakly in the open room, looking at the incense table in the yard with incense candles still burning, he was speechless in a daze.

He Jing went to pull Yuan Shi'an's sleeve again, leaned closer and asked him: "When I was in Chengyuan Pavilion just now, Mr. took a porcelain vase...here, that's the one that called your soul. Do you remember? What are you doing in the yard?"

Yuan Shi'an shook his head: "I don't remember."

He doesn't remember anything, but in the endless confusion, he has seen the most precious guardian, but he doesn't know what it is.

The next day.

Xie Qinghe slept until the sun was high before waking up.

When he woke up, he saw the sunlight beside the bed, and knew that he was drowsy, and immediately felt a dull pain in his heels and waist and abdomen.

Kicking all the way out of the wall last night was still a little too much for Jiang Yingzhou's skin, and his small body was a bit too much.Xie Qinghe still sat cross-legged on the bed, did some breathing exercises, and then got out of bed after stretching slowly.

The maid who was standing by outside the door immediately knocked on the door and came in, bringing water and tea for washing.

Xie Qinghe heard ghosts crying and howling wolves outside, and asked, "What's going on?"

The maidservant replied: "Mr. Disturbance is quiet. It is the servant who guards the garden. He secretly sold the flowers, trees and rare birds in the yard, poured manure and planted vegetables in the flower garden, and stole all the bedding from the master's house for his own use... Congratulations." The son is dealing with it."

Xie Qinghe took another look at her and said, "Are you from Yuan Shi'an?"

The maidservant nodded meekly: "The maidservant is serving in the prince's study."

Xie Qinghe nodded and did not continue to ask.

Which serious son puts the maids and maids in the study?Does the book boy use pricking hands?

Last night, I knew that Qianxihou's Mansion was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and Jiang Youniang would never be allowed to marry into Yuan's family as Ms. Zhao's concubine. Today, I also learned that Yuan Shi'an is a flirtatious kind who loves to play with red sleeves and is a concubine who has been serving for years. I'm afraid there will be too many rooms. If Jiang Youniang is really married, she might have to stay a widow for the rest of her life—it's better to stay at home and watch over her sister and brother. Anyway, Xie Qinghe will not treat her badly.

Xie Qinghe was sitting in the house drinking tea, Jiang Erniang came over after a while, bringing a plate of meat buns.

Floating on the waterway for ten days, I didn't eat very well. Just after waking up, I ate meat buns steamed by Jiang Erniang herself. I took a bite and it was still the familiar Hanjun flavor. Thank you, Second Sister."

Jiang Erniang sat in front of him holding a teacup, and said, "I can't help you except cooking for you. I just realized that you were in such a dangerous situation yesterday. Alas, they are all wolves' dens and tigers' dens. Brother, you and Xiao Yuan Tell me, bring the third sister back quickly."

Xie Qinghe drank the soy milk and wiped his mouth, then picked up a bun: "I know, don't worry, sister."

"I don't know how Xiaoyan is doing at home." Jiang Erniang said suddenly.

Xie Qinghe chewed on the steamed stuffed bun and didn't answer for a while.

Jiang Erniang woke up and explained, "I just thought that if he came along, he could protect you."

Xie Qinghe nodded.

At this time, I heard He Jing say outside: "Sir, disciple He Jing is here to worship."

"Yuan Shi'an came to worship." Yuan Shi'an followed closely.

"You tell them. Don't forget about the third sister." Jiang Erniang put away her cup and left through the small door on the other side.

Xie Qinghe was not in a hurry to invite them in, he ate the buns and drank the soy milk, got up and rinsed his mouth, and then opened the door: "I know I'm having breakfast and I'm still standing at the door. Come in and sit down."

The burn on the soles of He Jing's feet didn't heal, so she limped in and sat down on the couch: "I'm here to ask for a steamed stuffed bun."

Yuan Shi'an respectfully followed into the door, and after Xie Qinghe sat down, he bowed his knees and saluted several times, and said sincerely: "Disciple Yuan Shi'an thanks Mr. for saving your life. This kindness, this kindness, eternal life Don't forget."

Xie Qinghe helped him up and saw that He Jing was eating steamed buns with the chopsticks she had used without hesitation. After letting Yuan Shi'an sit down, she also gave him a pair of chopsticks and said, "I just happened to be at the right time. Speaking of which, the time I saved you It's a simple matter. You really have to thank him—"

Xie Qinghe pointed to He Jing.

As Xie Qinghe said, everything he did yesterday was not risky to him, it was within his power.

It was different for He Jing.In order to protect Yuan Shi'an, every move He Jing made would have to take huge risks. If He Jing hadn't met Xie Qinghe, He Jing would have been impeached by the Qianxi Hou Mansion for a copy of the Imperial Register By luck, he might have died in the fire with Yuan Shi'an.

"Brother He's kindness is so great that this disciple naturally dare not forget it. Mr.'s life-saving grace is as deep as the ocean to this disciple. You and Brother He are both disciple's benefactors." The relationship between Yuan Shi'an and He Jing has obviously changed. So good that there is no need to talk about it.

He Jing chuckled, tore open the skin of the bun, squeezed out the stuffing and put it in a bowl, discarding it without eating.

Xie Qinghe glanced at him.

He Jing was puzzled: "?"

"Eat." Xie Qinghe ordered.

He Jing never ate stuffing when eating steamed buns, and Xie Qinghe didn't bother him when eating in the small courtyard in the past.Just because what I eat today is the steamed stuffed bun made by Jiang Erniang herself, so it is naturally different from eating outside or made by slaves.Xie Qinghe can't directly say that Jiang Erniang did it, just order.

He Jing was disciplined inexplicably, but she didn't talk back to Xie Qinghe, and obediently picked up the bun stuffing and ate it.

Xie Qinghe saw that He Jing and Yuan Shi'an were obediently eating steamed stuffed buns and drinking soy milk, so he took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "You guys came to see me today because you want to discuss yesterday's matter?"

Yuan Shi'an quickly wiped his mouth, and said: "It is supposed to be a disciple's family matter. It's just that when the Chengyuan Pavilion was burned last night, the master and brother He were both on the spot, so the disciple can't make decisions on his own. I have to ask the master to show me."

He Jing then complained: "Sir, you don't know yet. Didn't you send someone to buy yellow paper for joss sticks yesterday? I didn't find anyone all night, but I fished them out of the ditch today. They were all dead. Cheng'an County said He was drunk and stumbled into it and drowned——if it wasn’t for the Qianxihou’s mansion, my servants who ran off to do errands could get drunk and fall into the ditch? It’s too deceitful!”

Xie Qinghe got up and stood in front of the window, looking at the thriving garlic seedlings in the flower garden, and said: "I don't know about your family. I walked in a hurry last night, but I couldn't find any clues from your residence. However, in my opinion, it's nothing more than It's a dispute over the succession of titles. Once this matter is dealt with, the black hand behind the scenes who wants to harm you will be ready to show up."

Yuan Shi'an had done a good job of mental preparation, and was about to tell the whole story about his family's ugliness, but Xie Qinghe turned around and asked, "Miss of Zhao's family, member of the household department, do you have any contact with her?"

Yuan Shi'an was taken aback by the question.

He Jing was also full of astonishment: "Miss Zhao? She also has something to do with it?!"

Xie Qinghe shook his head: "There is also a little sister in my family. Because her parents were greedy for money and vanity, she took the gift money and gave it to Ms. Zhao's family as an adopted daughter. She said she was helping Ms. Zhao embroider a dowry. When this happened, I was in Yangting County. At that time, the third sister has already entered Beijing."

He said so bluntly that his parents were "greedy and vain", which shocked both He Jing and Yuan Shi'an.

In this dynasty that ruled the world with filial piety, who would dare to talk about parents like that?Even if the parents don't tell them of disobedience and disobedience, if they are heard by the officials, they will be punished as unfilial.However, Xie Qinghe took it for granted, as if "greedy and vain" is a good word for praise.

Both Yuan Shi'an and He Jing pretended not to hear these four words, and Yuan Shi'an immediately said: "I have no private contacts with Ms. Zhao, but this matter is also simple. There will be a big gift in two days, disciple please The old mother will go there in person, and just invite my aunt home first."

He Jing said in surprise: "Your house is like this, and you still have to go to Zhao's house for a big gift?!"

Yuan Shi'an gave him a wink.

He Jing suddenly realized.

The point of this matter is not to go to Zhao's house for a big gift, but to help the husband get his young lady out of Zhao's house.

Xie Qinghe shook his head and said, "You don't have to make it so troublesome. The member of the household department, Wailang, is not a big official, so it sounds difficult to find a place to live. You need a servant who knows the way. My second sister and I will go to Zhao's house in the afternoon. .”

Yuan Shi'an said that it would take two days for the ceremony to bring Jiang Youniang home, but Xie Qinghe didn't want to wait for even two days and would go to pick her up in the afternoon.

Yuan Shi'an couldn't help with this kind of matter involving the daughters of other families.Even if Ms. Zhao was his wife who was going to marry soon, and the two parties had no contact in any form before they got married, even if Yuan Shi'an wanted to help please others, it was from nowhere.

Yuan Shi'an apologized for not being able to help, and He Jing also sighed: "My uncle's family has a few sisters who played with Miss Zhao before. It's a pity
