Don't repay, just hug

Puzzle [-]: In winter, the coiled dragon lies down, in summer the branches and leaves bloom, the dragon's beard grows upwards, and the pearls live in the lower row, which means that the lotus is good.

Guangxiu and the others asked many people, asking where there are lotus blooming in Lianji City, passers-by all pointed to Zhao Siye's mansion.

The two looked at each other, and finally decided to give it a try.

This Mr. Zhao's mansion is not a rouge shop after all, it is a place where men are not allowed to enter.

The vermilion lacquer door is inlaid with gold lacquer animal face tin rings, and the eyebrows and eyes are full of power and prestige.The two stood at the door, Guangxiu knocked on the knocker and called the door, the door opened quickly, a small servant's head poked out from inside, looked Guangxiu up and down, and asked lightly, "What's your business?"

Guangxiu hurriedly showed the altar of Moutai sealed with mud, offering treasures and said: "I brought the wine."

Seeing that the boy frowned suspiciously, he hurriedly took out the small wooden sign again and handed it over: "The answer to the activity in Baofulou is here." He was afraid that the boy could not read, so he explained accordingly.

The young man sized Ye Yu behind him again, and asked, "Just the two of you?"

Guangxiu was surprised, but still nodded with a smile: "Yes, just the two of us."

The door opened a little further, enough for one person to enter.The boy said, "Come with me." Then he made room for the two of them to enter.

Guessing the place correctly, Guangxiu and Ye Yu looked at each other and smiled, and entered the Zhao residence.

The servants along the way did not make a sound, but led them through the corridors and pavilions, passing by a lotus pond, where the lotus flowers were in full bloom.

Guangxiu tilted his head to admire the flowers, but the servant in front didn't stop, so Guangxiu could only trot a few steps to keep up.

After walking for a long time, the boy stopped, pointed to a room in front, and said, "You two go inside and wait, our housekeeper will be here in a while." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

They had to do it themselves, push the door open and go in.

The living room is neatly arranged, and every piece of decoration in the room can show the elegant taste of the owner.

The setting sun is shining on a large mahogany table in the corner of the room.In addition to the two vases on it, there is also an incense burner in the middle, which is burning incense, and the smoke is curling up, giving the whole room a different atmosphere.

Ye Yu's first sight after entering the room was fixed on the incense burner.Staring at it, a mocking smile formed on the corner of his mouth.

"Mitsuhide, try not to breathe in."

"what?"

"Cover it with your cuff."

"Oh." Guangxiu didn't understand why, but he did it anyway.

It's just that the smell was too strong, although Ye Yu was fine, but Guangxiu gradually felt weak in limbs.

"Brother Ye Yu...how can I..." Before he could finish speaking, he fell down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, the dignified and richest man in Lian Ji would use such a method of waiting for the next five sects.It's just that he can't figure it out, what is the purpose?

There were footsteps outside, from far to near.Presumably, the tricksters figured out the time and came to finish.

Ye Yu turned over, took a seat next to Guangxiu, pretended to be tricked, and lay down on the table.

The door of the room opened at this time, and a young man dressed as a prince came in, followed by a servant, who was the boy who had just led the way.

The prince didn't dare to go in, he pointed at the side of the table with his hand, and asked the servant behind him: "Are these two people this time? Are you really pouring their medicine?"

The family member said: "Young Master Cai, don't worry, this medicine is very effective, even an elephant has to sleep for three hours."

"Ah."

The son surnamed Cai was relieved.Walking to Ye Yu's side, he bent down, took Ye Yu's arm away from his face, and looked at it carefully. "Hmph, she's pretty handsome."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ye Yu stood up suddenly, touched his veins, twisted his arm, and put it on the table.

"Hey! Are you, are you dizzy? ... It hurts!"

The servant saw that the situation was not good and wanted to open the door to escape, but he saw a teacup flying towards him and nailed it to the door he was about to open, and it was nailed to it just like that.

The servant was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Hero, spare your life!"

Ye Yu twisted Mr. Cai's arm, stared at the servant and said, "Where is the antidote? Tell me!"

"It's... at the villain's place." Jia Ding approached tremblingly, and put a paper bag on the table.

"Is it really the antidote? If you dare to lie to me, take care of your dog's life!" Ye Yu made a gesture, and pinched Young Master Cai's arm again.

Mr. Cai cried out in pain, and hurriedly said: "That is indeed the antidote, hero!"

"Go and wake up my companion."

The servant hurriedly poured the antidote into another teacup, shook the cup to let the medicine completely dissolve in the water, helped Guangxiu up, and fed him to drink.

After a while, Guangxiu woke up, rubbed his sleepy eyes and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yeyu?... What happened?"

Ye Yu blew on his beard and stared, and exerted force with his hands: "Say! Why do you want to harm us?"

"Big, big, light, light!"

The servant hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, the villain is obsessed with money for a while, and I hope the hero will spare his life!"

"What's going on?"

"Yes... Mr. Cai wanted to marry my young lady, but my young lady rejected Mr. Cai's marriage proposal. That's why Mr. Cai came up with such an idea."

Ms. Zhao has lofty aspirations, and she really doesn't want to marry those unambitious rich men in Lianji City and spend her whole life in corruption.She rejected all the young masters who came to propose marriage.

This not only made those sons and brothers who were worried about the Zhao family's property and coveted the beauty of the lady, but also the fourth master Zhao.

If the marriage is delayed, the daughter will miss her young age.

So Master Zhao Si sponsored the activities of Baofulou.If you can collect all eight kinds of tokens, you must be quick-witted and meet the criteria for a young lady to choose a spouse. Then you will choose to be a son-in-law, and this marriage will be formed.

Ms. Zhao actually agreed.

This made Mr. Cai anxious.So he bought Ding Shunzi, the family member of the Zhao family, and fell into such a trap.

The original plan was like this: after the drug poured on the person, move him to Ms. Zhao's boudoir.Of course Miss Zhao was also drugged.At that time, when they woke up, they found a lonely man and a widow lying on the same bed, but their innocence would be gone.

For treating his daughter lightly, no matter how quick-witted and heroic he is, Mr. Zhao Si would not want him to be his son-in-law.

And what about Miss Zhao?After such a scandal, who would dare to marry?

At this time, if Mr. Cai stood up and said that he was still willing to marry Ms. Zhao as his wife, what would happen - it goes without saying.

The abacus was very good, but it was a pity that God did not allow them to meet Ye Yu.

Now that the truth came out, Mr. Zhao Si's face was livid with anger, and after further interrogation, he even asked about the stolen fireworks.

Naturally, Mr. Cai and Ding Shunzi did it together.

They originally thought that the fireworks would be ignited by the young lady herself on the night of the Qiqiao Festival, and when the firework exploded, the young lady would not die, but it would also change beyond recognition.

Who is willing to marry a lady who is no longer beautiful?

At that time, as long as he, Mr. Cai, stands up—well, it goes without saying.

It's a pity that this plan failed, and the cook's son spoiled his good deed.In desperation, he came up with today's plan again.

Master Zhao Si listened to the ins and outs, put his hand on the table angrily, and took three shots.

But if there is even the slightest bit of internal strength in the body, the table will definitely shatter.

But this posture was not trivial, and no one in the room dared to speak out in fright.

"Master Zhuo please! Go please Master Zhuo!"

This Master Zhuo is the parent officer of this Lian Ji City.

When the facts of the case became clear, Mr. Zhuo raised his hand and promised to punish him severely.

The punishment has been punished, it's time to reward the benefactor.

Master Zhao Si was polite first, and then ordered someone to invite his daughter to meet his benefactor.

The purpose is obvious, which is to build a magpie bridge to lead a line.

Ms. Zhao approached in a hurry, her face was like white jade, her face was like a flower, she was indeed a beautiful woman.

She glanced at Ye Yu faintly, then lowered her head shyly, as if she also had a good impression.

Although it was Guangxiu who solved the riddle, Ye Yu was the hero who exposed Mr. Cai's conspiracy and preserved Miss Quan's innocence. Guangxiu's heart was already filled with Xuan Wang, and she had no intention of choosing another wife, so she was ignored by the Zhao family at this time. I don't feel wronged at all.

Ye Yu bowed her hands and apologized: "I already have a master who has sworn to be loyal. I don't plan to marry a wife in this life. I only serve my master wholeheartedly. Please forgive me for betraying Master Zhao and Miss Zhao."

Ye Yu's graceful posture and firm words made everyone present dumbfounded.

"Hey... this...then there's nothing I can do about it." Master Zhao Si could only scratch his head.He couldn't wrong his daughter, and he couldn't get angry at his benefactor. He felt uncomfortable but couldn't express it, which was very uncomfortable.

Ms. Zhao came over and smiled brightly: "Since that's the case, I really can't force it."

Her heart is higher than the sky, so naturally she won't ask for it.

"But my Zhao family must pay for their kindness, don't you think so, Daddy?"

"Housekeeper, go to the accounting room and pay 1000 taels of silver."

Nothing is more real than money. Mr. Zhao is a merchant, so he naturally understands this truth.

Guangxiu wanted to decline politely, but was stopped by Ye Yu.

—Don't forget that you are short of money now.The eyes indicated so.

After receiving the bank note, Ms. Zhao said: "By the way, the two of you are here for the token. The token is in my room. Please wait in the courtyard, and I will go pick it up."

The courtyard is deep, Guangxiu and Yeyu are sitting in the corner of the porch.

After a while, I saw a handsome young man with long hair on his temples gently pulled back, coming sassy.Although it is dressed as a man, there is no doubt that it is Miss Zhao.Behind her was a little maid.

Ye Yu and Guangxiu stood up, looked at her, and asked in confusion, "Miss Zhao, is this...?"

Ms. Zhao smiled: "Just call me Qingwan." She handed over the token in her hand, "This is the token."

After receiving the token, Miss Zhao said again: "To be honest, I would like to ask you two to take me out for a walk."

"Huh?" They both said in unison.

Qingwan smiled wryly: "My father doesn't allow me to go out. But on such a lively day, I really want to go out and have a look."

"This..." The two looked at each other.

Qingwan asked again: "I don't know how many puzzles the two young masters have solved?"

Guangxiu replied honestly: "There is still one place missing."

"Oh? What's the mystery?"

"The green branches are green and the leaves are red. Seeing Xi Xin, the young lady took off the embroidery building with both hands, and tied it with thin threads until dawn."

After hearing this, Qingwan smiled and said: "No wonder you can't figure it out, this Hu Sanniang really has a way. The answer is Impatiens, so the answer is the flower shop."

Guangxiu raised his eyebrows: "Impatiens?"

Qingwan said: "Our women's nails are dyed with the petals of the Impatiens. It's no wonder you men don't know."

Guangxiu still looked suspicious.

"Is this puzzle a gift of Baofeng wine?"

Mitsuhide nodded.

"That's it. The owner of the flower shop likes to drink Baofeng wine the most. Now I help you solve the mystery. As a reward, you can take me for a walk on the street?"

Guangxiu sighed: "Even though you have changed into men's clothes, if your father knows that you, a woman who has not left the court, are shopping in the street with us two big men..."

"Young master, don't worry, as long as you sneak back before the dinner, my father won't find out. If you don't agree, I have to tell Hu Sanniang honestly that I solved the mystery of the flower shop, not you." Qing Wan Blinking, "At that time, the grand prize will be out of your reach."

... As expected of a merchant's daughter, she really knows how to speculate.Guangxiu needs this bonus, and Ye Yu can't say anything to make Guangxiu's efforts come to naught.

They had no choice but to accept their fate: "Okay, okay, we agree with you."

Qing Wan succeeded and grinned.

The three of them went out from the corner gate and joined the endless stream of people.
