Once magnificent, now brilliant

After going back, Qi Xiang fell ill, lying on the bed without eating or taking medicine, looking haggard and depressed.

"My lord, why don't you feel uncomfortable and tell me. You are so sick and boiled, how can you make it?" Pan Butler was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and was extremely worried.

Qi Xiang said softly: "It's okay, you can go out."

Even if he was not feeling well, he would not lose his temper to Steward Pan. It was not easy for Steward Pan to follow him, and he definitely couldn't make Steward Pan suffer because of his own reasons.

Where can Butler Pan go?Qi Xiang just got rid of the fever this morning, and it was all brought down by cold compresses. If he doesn't take medicine, it's hard to say where the illness will go.

Gritting his teeth, Steward Pan threatened, "If you don't take the medicine, I'll go find Mr. Que."

But Qi Xiang could still listen to Shi Zhou's words, if he really didn't need to take medicine, a few needles would be fine.

Qi Xiang was afraid of the cold, and just broke out in sweat. Now he was covered with a thick quilt, and he was not in the mood, "Master is busy, don't bother me. There are some manuscripts on the table, and you will send them to the Xianfu tomorrow to the Taifu." , ask him to hand it over to the emperor. Said that I was tired and sick, unable to get up, and unable to enter the palace to answer."

He had prepared these stories a long time ago, even before Bai Junyu reminded him.Yes, from the moment he heard the news of conscription, he was already planning this matter, and it was also planned to bring his idea to the imperial court through the fourth prince's mouth.Of course, it's a good thing that the emperor will ask him to write a story.He naturally has his purpose in doing these things, and this is just the beginning.

Butler Pan sighed, "Why are you bothering?"

He didn't know why Qi Xiang tortured himself like this, the last time he did this was when Liang Fu died.At that time, Qi Xiang was greatly stimulated, and Pan Butler could understand it, but what happened this time is really impossible to know.He also specifically asked the driver who was driving the car, and the driver didn't notice anything unusual, he just said that he didn't buy rose cakes, and it wasn't a big deal.

Butler Pan couldn't force Qi Xiang to do what he didn't want to do.He thought that if Qi Xiang didn't know anything tonight, when he went to Xian's mansion tomorrow, he would ask Xian Xuan to persuade him, maybe it would be useful.

After Pan Butler went out, Qi Xiang was half asleep, half asleep.Because of sweating, his face was a little rosy, but it was not healthy and moist.

Qi Xiang already knew about Bai Junyu and Ms. He's matter, and he was sad, but he didn't want to torment himself.What made him torment like this was out of his loathing for himself—he actually hated Miss He because of Bai Junyu. He was unwilling and impatient, and wanted to snatch Bai Junyu away, and even wanted to push Miss He away, warning him to stay away from Bai Junyu. a little……

This is sick, it is a heart disease.He had no contact with Ms. He, and it was only a one-sided relationship. He should not hate a girl who has no communication at all, let alone feel guilty.He felt like a poisonous snake, quietly hovering beside Bai Junyu, intending to kill every girl who approached Bai Junyu with his poisonous fangs...

It's normal to like someone, but the other person loves someone else, secretly jealous, sad, resentful...but you shouldn't want to hurt the innocent loved one.

So Qi Xiang didn't eat or drink, so that she would not have the strength to get up, and would not do radical things.

Loving someone is very happy, but also very hard.Since he chose to remain silent and was afraid of unfeeling, there was no need to implicate an innocent person.When he has figured it out, he will eat, take medicine, and live a good life. He still has a lot of things to do, and these are the meanings of his return to Beijing.

The next afternoon, Taifu handed over the manuscript to the emperor.The emperor was very relieved and satisfied after watching it, so he quickly asked Eunuch Li to take these to the music company and arrange the play as soon as possible.

Qi Xiang prepared two stories——

One is a young man who has been studying martial arts since elementary school but couldn't find the meaning of learning martial arts. He traveled to the border and saw the tragic situation of the people in the city after being plundered by foreigners. He was shocked.He first persuaded his family and appeased his fiancée, then participated in the military test, passed five passes and killed six generals, and finally became a small officer in the army.Afterwards, through combat experience, he gradually accumulated military merits, and his status in the army became higher and higher.He also called on relatives and friends to join the army to defend the country and go to the battlefield together.There are winners and losers in wars, and young people learn a lot from them and discover the value of knowing "martial arts".After fighting a beautiful victory, he was named a general and guarded the border as he wished.Since then, no foreigner has dared to invade, and the border has been peaceful, praised by everyone, and left a name through the ages.

The other is a young scholar who returned home from studying abroad and found that his family members had been murdered by foreigners, the entire village had no survivors, and all gold, silver and grain had been looted.The young man bears a bloody feud and vows to kill all the foreigners and avenge his family and the whole village.From then on, the young man abandoned literature and took up martial arts, and learned art from a teacher.The process was very difficult, but in the end he was successful in his studies, and fortunately a general appreciated him, and he joined the army to join the war. During the process of getting along with the soldiers in the army, he gradually fell in love with life in the army.The rules in the army are strict, but everyone is bold and loyal, and they are worth making friends with.After his great hatred was avenged, the young man did not choose to leave the army to continue his studies, but stayed in the army to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and gained a group of brothers, sharing life and death together.

The previous story has more fighting scenes, which is suitable for a play, and it must be exciting and beautiful.The latter is from literature to military, the change of inner thoughts and the loyalty in the army are more prominent, so it is suitable for storytelling.

"At the beginning you praised Qi Xiang's literary talent to me. At that time, you only thought it was a book of poetry. I didn't expect that these essays are written so well now." The emperor said with emotion.He thought that when the storyteller in the palace finished practicing, he would call him to listen to it.

Although the Taifu was dissatisfied with the emperor's original decision, but the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to revise the old things, so he said: "Qi Xiang's books are complicated, and it is not surprising that he can write these ministers. I just think that if I read them for a few more years, I will write more. It must be better than it is now."

The emperor nodded, "What's wrong with his body?"

The Taifu replied: "I asked the doctor to see it before, and said that everything is empty. Even if I keep it, it will take ten years to see it."

The emperor let out a long sigh, "It's a pain for that child. When he recovers, I will send him into the palace to receive a reward."

"The minister thanked the emperor on behalf of Qi Xiang." Those gold and silver princes didn't like it, and now the most urgent thing is to go to Qi Xiang's slavery.But this can't be said too straightforwardly, and one has to find an opportunity in a roundabout way, so that the emperor can say it himself.

After lying down for another two days, the fever did not continue, and Qi Xiang was able to calm down a little, so he took the medicine.This illness was caused by melancholy, it came and went quickly, Pan Butler finally felt a little relieved.

The weather was cloudy and cool that day, so Qi Xiang took a carriage to Qingyun Mountain to pay homage.This is Okawa's old practice. Within a month after being buried in the ground, he will go to the grave again to pay homage, mainly to see what needs to be repaired on the grave. If everything is in order, it will be enough to come back once a year in the future.

It was fine when I went there, but it caught up with the heavy rain when I came back.Fortunately, I passed by a teahouse, and I could sit and shelter from the rain, but I didn’t get drenched, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll get sick again when I go back.

After the rain stopped, there was a lot of water on the road, but it had no effect on the carriage.

After entering the city, the carriage moved significantly slower.Qi Xiang opened the curtain and looked out, and happened to see Miss He coming out of a jewelry shop with a maid not far ahead.

Qi Xiang only thought about it for a moment, then the curtain of the car moved slightly, the horse neighed, and ran towards Miss He uncontrollably.

"Hey? Hey? Huh—" The coachman was also taken aback, and desperately pulled the rein to control the carriage.

People on the side of the road also screamed when they saw this scene.

Miss He's maid threw the box in her hand in shock, and dragged Miss He back to the shop. The horse ran past where they had just stood, and finally stopped by the door.

The head of the box had fallen out. It was gold, but it was not broken or damaged.

The coachman was so frightened that he got out of the car quickly, and while apologizing to the two, he helped pick up the things on the ground.

Ms. He calmed down her shock, and said angrily: "You don't have eyes? Can you drive? If you hurt Miss Ben, can you afford to pay for your dog's life?!"

There was a lot of movement here, attracting many people to watch.

Qi Xiang raised her eyebrows, and then got out of the car with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, the horse was startled for some reason, it scared the two girls."

The coachman picked up the things and returned them to them.

The servant girl wanted to reach out to pick it up, but was pushed by Ms. He, and she said dissatisfiedly: "How can you put something that fell on the ground on Ms. Ben's head?!"

Qi Xiang said with a pure and kind face, "It's not broken, so why not wear it?"

"What do you know? This is bad luck!" Miss He frowned coldly, completely different from the delicate appearance she had seen before.

"Then what should I do?" Qi Xiang's attitude was still very good, and in the eyes of others, it was the way an apology should be.

Miss He glanced at him up and down, "Looking at how poor you are, I can't afford to accompany you. How about this, you kneel down and kowtow to this girl a hundred times, and kneel here for another day, and forget about it!"

Qi Xiang's fingers hidden in his sleeves were clenched in vain, and his eyes were gloomy.

Seeing him like this, Ms. He was even more unhappy, "Don't give me shame? Do you know who I am?!"

Just as Qi Xiang wanted to pretend not to ask her name, she saw that the maid beside her who had been sizing up Qi Xiang pulled Miss He's sleeve and said, "Miss, this person should be the former classmate of Young Master Bai, the one named Qi Xiang." .”

Qi Xiang's face remained unchanged, but what she was thinking about was how did this maid know about him?The fact that he returned to Beijing is no longer a secret, but there should not be many people who can specifically know about his recent situation.Maybe it was only by chance that he deliberately didn't wear the car under the scarf, so it's not difficult to recognize, and he really wanted to be recognizable.Or maybe it's because he's been the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for a long time. It's not impossible for someone with a sensitive identity like him to find out.But no matter what it is, his goal has been achieved, the servant girl's voice is not low, and the people who are watching nearby should have heard it.

Ms. He snorted coldly, "I said, why are you so loud, and you want to pay me back. It turns out that he is the son of a criminal who ruined his face. It's really strange that a slave dares to stand in front of me and speak!"

Qi Xiang lowered her head slightly, and said: "Young lady has something to say, why bother to involve others."

"Hehe, what do you think of yourself as a son or young master? You can't say anything? If you offend me, who do you think will protect you?" Miss He said coldly, "Even the grand master came today, and he dare not touch me!"

Qi Xiang was in a trance for a moment, this Miss He was probably pretending too well in front of Bai Junyu, just like when he first saw Miss He, he thought she was a delicate but docile girl.But now?What else is there besides savagery?

He admitted that he deliberately let the carriage rush over, and he also grasped the measure, and he would never really hurt Miss He.If Ms. He accepted his apology dignifiedly and virtuously, even if she was frightened and scolded him a few times, he would not say anything.He will also try to persuade himself that it is not a bad thing to give Bai Junyu to such a decent girl.

But this collision revealed Miss He's true temperament.He didn't dare to say how much he knew Bai Junyu, at least he knew that Bai Junyu didn't like this kind of arrogant girl.Let Bai Junyu be with her, why?

"I want to pay, the girl thinks it's poor. I apologize, but the girl doesn't accept it. It is indeed our fault that the horse lost control, but I don't want to make up for the girl, and I really can't do it." Qi Xiang said very innocently, and her tone was also cold.

The common people talked a lot, and felt that this girl was not easy to serve.

"Miss Ben has already said it! If you are asked to kneel and kowtow, you will not do it yourself!"

"Forgive me! Sue if you want, girl!" After finishing speaking, Qi Xiang returned to the carriage.

Seeing that Miss He didn't intend to stop her, the coachman apologized a few more times before getting into the carriage and driving away.
