ecstasy

The next day, Gu Tingshuang woke up early in the morning and saw that there was already a cup of snacks on the table.

The box is still the one Ning Shiting usually uses. It is made of two layers of pineapple and fairy wood. The upper layer is ice-skinned snowflake crisps and lotus seed cakes. The lower layer is sealed in small jars of preserved meat and dried fruits. porridge.

A large box that is heavy to lift.Everyone in the mansion knew that although Shizi Mansion's snack supply had never been neglected, Ning Shiting still insisted on coming to deliver as much as possible.

Today Ning Shiting came early to see him off, and he left before he got up.

Gu Tingshuang sat on the head of the bed, looked down at the water chestnut and respectfully helped him put on his boots, and asked, "What did he do again? He came so early today."

Ling Jiao said: "Your Highness, Young Master posted a notice outside today, and the civil affairs hall in the mansion will also be set up. Starting today, we will slowly help the villagers deal with matters."

"So fast?" Gu Tingshuang said, "Has he finished reading Xizhou Zhi?"

Lingjiao thought for a while: "I heard from the people in the study that the young master has read it three times, divided up many booklets such as policy theory, tax system, elixir resources, etc., and they are all filled. When the young master is not going out, he is in the study all day long. You also know that you are not a cultivator, and your physique is not as good as that of ordinary immortals. I just got seriously ill a few days ago, and now I am busy again. It seems that I have not recovered. I still often feel dizzy and lethargic. "

Hulu picked up the snow rhinoceros belt that Gu Tingshuang was going to wear today, and interjected: "But the young master also said that it is indeed because the immortals need someone to take charge, and the Immortal Chief's Mansion may not be able to deal with it thoroughly, so they are in such a hurry After doing this, the young master has a good heart. But we all guess that it probably has something to do with the prince's order. The prince always acts vigorously and resolutely, and the young master is the person around him. Naturally, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog..."

Lingjiao smiled: "What kind of stupid metaphor do you use to embarrass yourself in front of His Highness? Have you wiped the tables and chairs outside? Hurry up and go."

Gu Tingshuang said coldly: "You don't have enough hearts, what are you doing to help those idiots outside?"

Both gourd and water chestnut were silent.

They dressed him up, groomed the little wolf, and retreated to tend the nearby flower pond outside the yard as usual.

This time is usually when Gu Tingshuang is practicing, and he doesn't like to be disturbed by them walking around.

But today Gu Tingshuang did not go to the back to practice. He greeted the little wolf and said lightly: "There will be two days of bigu after today, so I don't need to prepare dinner for me in the evening."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Watching Gu Tingshuang's back driving the wheelchair disappear outside the gate of the mansion, Ling Jiao curiously asked Hulu: "Your Highness, where are you going so early?"

"Are you looking for the son?"

Hulu lit a spell, cut out a small paper figurine to help him wipe the table, and muttered in a low voice, "Young master has a good heart, so does His Highness. In the past, every time the young master came, His Highness would tell him to leave, but now he doesn't eat. Desserts are all eaten."

Ling Jiao came over to him again and asked him: "Isn't that very good, then why is His Highness not willing to go out every time the young master asks His Highness if he wants to go out with him?"

"Did you forget? The princess's funeral was organized with the help of Xianzhou people. Afterwards, many people took advantage of the vigil and stole a lot of offerings, including the buried relics in the princess's coffin... You said those people outside were really... Later we searched everywhere, door to door, but failed to find anything. Among them was a string of Buddhist jade beads that the princess often held in her hand during her lifetime. The beads of various colors condensed from five trees and six flowers in the Brahma sky for thousands of years were used to protect life. It hasn't been found until now."

Lingjiao slapped his head: "Oh, that's right, I remembered. You don't need to say anything, I have already remembered, and His Highness will not go out later."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "Your Highness is also quite pitiful, the princess didn't leave much behind, alas."

The civil hall in Prince Qing's Mansion has been abandoned for a long time.Although counting, it has only been four years since the death of the mistress in charge, but when the princess was there, the immortals loved her, and they didn't have to go to court if they came to ask for something.

Anyone who can help or mediate, Prince Qing's Mansion will help.

At that time, the princess was sometimes lazy and wanted to go out with her little sisters for a few days, and would leave things to Gu Tingshuang.

At that time, he was a child of five or six years old, and he already had a basic understanding of the tax system of Xianzhou, various fairy medicine resources, and various gods.Sometimes when encountering a more complicated situation, such as the annual production of immortal medicines and the land disputes, he would hold the Xizhou Zhi by himself, stay up all night to do the calculations, and delve into it.

He is the smartest kid in the whole of Xizhou, and he can see clearly what the adults dragged about in the ledger.

The civil affairs hall is not in Prince Qing's mansion.

According to the original design, it was another three-entry courtyard surrounded by the Qing Palace, which was located next to the main entrance of the Qing Palace.

As soon as Gu Tingshuang walked to the front yard, he heard lively voices outside.

The servants in the house were running around, each holding a tray with snacks and tea in his hand.

Occasionally, someone greeted: "Hurry up, hurry up, there are more and more people outside, the young master has told you to pay extra attention, take notes on those who have not yet been queued, and if it is not a big deal, just hand it over to Tingshu The little boy handles it."

After a while, a servant came and asked: "Sister Huaqiu, there is someone outside who said that the house was burned by the real fire of Samadhi, and a little spirit beast is still inside, and outsiders dare not go in. Is this a big or small thing?"

Hua Qiu waved his hand: "It's a small matter, young master summoned a few water spirit roots into the mansion early in the morning, just send them there, remember to register."

Little wolf is not afraid of people, but also likes to be lively.

After seeing so many people outside, he immediately became excited, turned around in a circle, rushed out for a long distance, and then came back to look for him happily, it seemed that he could not suppress the joy in his heart.

But Gu Tingshuang didn't intend to move.

He raised his eyes to the vermilion-lacquered door.

There is no such a majestic and large gate in Xizhou anymore. Gu's family crest is some kind of beast. According to the records in ancient books, craftsmen used Xiushan jade and Jiutian gold to make door knockers and door buckles.

But no one knows exactly what kind of beast it is.This family crest has been handed down for a long time, and the Gu family has been missing for seven generations in a row, almost reduced to the point where there are no immortal roots. If Gu Feiyin did not revive the family by himself, I am afraid that even this door knocker would be seized and sold. .

This coat of arms looks like a tiger or a dog, but it is generally considered to be in the shape of a dog, and it is the same as the seal of the Gu family. It should be the coat of arms given to the Gu family by the ancestors of the immortal emperor.It is intended to warn Gu that he should obey the emperor like a dog and remain loyal.

Gu Tingshuang dealt with packs of wolves, and had always looked down on slavish dogs. He stared at the mansion door for a while, and looked away coldly.

"My God, who is that person over there? Is it His Royal Highness?"

At the same time, the guards guarding the door also noticed something strange on his side.

Gu Tingshuang was sitting in a wheelchair, her back was erect, her whole person was dignified and indifferent, just like the legendary His Royal Highness.

Coupled with the little silver wolf who was scurrying around and fluttering at butterflies, this person's identity could almost be said to be a certainty.

It's no wonder they weren't prepared.

That's the place that Gu Tingshuang often went to in the mansion, and he never visited the front yard.The group of guards and servants stationed in the front yard and the gate of the mansion, who came and went to change shifts, had never seen the real face of His Highness.

I only heard that His Royal Highness did not leave the house for four years, and his temperament is rebellious and withdrawn. A few days ago, he just beat a servant who disobeyed him to the bone. He is not an easy master.

It's just... looking at what this master means now, does he want to go out?

The servants and maids walking between the civil hall and the gate all walk in the small aisle on one side.

The rule of the palace is that as long as the owner passes through, the door must be opened. This is etiquette.

Ning Shiting opened the door and went out in the morning.

Gu Tingshuang didn't move, didn't speak, just stared at the door, his eyes were dark, no one could tell what he was thinking.

The voices outside are so clear.

The market is noisy, the parents are short-lived, and the immortals lined up to talk to each other about the strange stories of Xizhou. He could even hear a hunchbacked old man at the end of the line, holding a fluttering fairy pigeon in his hand. When the pigeon was struggling, There was a slight sound of wing feathers scratching.

At that moment, it seemed that he was in the time when he was young, and the princess took him to Xianshi.

Someone opened the way in front of him, and someone followed him behind. His mother dressed him as a girl doll, with a gentle and narrow smile in her eyes: "You have been refusing to go with me to pick out cosmetics and spices before, so today we are not mother and son." Two, it’s my wife, you can visit the incense shop with me now.”

He reluctantly followed behind her, gasping for breath, his face was bulging like a big red apple.

The voices of other people, the noise in the market, the laughter and running of children are all so clear.

The little wolf looked like he really wanted to run out to play, wagging his tail and running around his wheelchair, paws on it.

Seeing him not moving for a long time, he probably realized that he was not allowed to go out today, and his ears drooped.

Gu Tingshuang looked at the gate for a while, then looked away indifferently, reached out to brush the wheelchair, and planned to turn around and leave.

"Let's go, little wolf, we don't need to worry about him. Merman is nosy, let him go."

But at this moment there was a bigger commotion outside, a woman's cry could be vaguely heard, suddenly coming out from the front, startling the birds on a tree in the mansion.

Although the cry was loud, it was indistinct and hysterical, and he couldn't make out what he was saying for a while.But the voices of watching the excitement also suddenly became louder, and the discussion of the crowd quickly covered up the shouts of the guards in the mansion to maintain order.

Gu Tingshuang frowned: "What's the matter?"

There is no one within ten feet of him, only Huaqiu standing there.

She very consciously took Gu Tingshuang's words as an order, hurriedly went out to take a look, and then came back to report: "Young master encountered a dispute while dealing with things outside, and there is a woman outside who asked you to return her soul." If the fragrance didn’t work out, I started rolling around, and called a large group of people over to comment, saying that the young master has a heartless heart..."

"That's it."

When Gu Tingshuang said, he didn't express anything else.

In fact, this situation can already be expected.

Ning Shiting was young and handsome, and even his voice was gentle and clear, making him easy to bully.

When it comes to dealing with these matters, Gu Tingshuang has seen the nature of these immortals ten years earlier.There are good and bad, and every time you encounter a difficult situation, it is not something that the little white-faced scholar can solve by insulting "ignorance".

In a hurry outside, Huaqiu was also in a hurry, but because Gu Tingshuang was here, she should stay and serve him according to the rules.

But saw the young man glance lightly: "You go down."

Hua Qiuru was granted an amnesty, so she hurried out to help.

Gu Tingshuang turned around and didn't go back.

He drove the wheelchair and walked straight to the gate.He didn't say anything, but Shi Shiran raised his eyes and lowered his hand to beckon the little wolf to follow.

The guards on both sides were still in a daze, and after a while, they were all excited, and they were about to open the door for him.

The gates of the Wangfu are double doors, except that there is a latch, the inner one is opened, and the guards outside have to open it.

The guard inside hammered on the door: "Open the door! Open the door!"

Abusive voices soon came from outside: "Are you confused by your errands? You are not allowed to open the door if there is no owner in or out! The young master is still in charge at the moment!"

The roar outside was louder, but the roar inside was even louder: "His Royal Highness is traveling! Open the door!"

Immediately there was no sound.

With a bang, the heavy door slowly opened.

A gentle breeze passed through the hall, gently brushing the young man's hair.
