"Girl, tomorrow is the childe's birthday..."
Ah Kui whispered, "the childe must be testing whether you have taken his birthday to heart."
Fortunately, she reads a lot and her brain doesn't turn slowly.
"Tomorrow's birthday?"
Xu Mingyi's eyes changed as his feet stagnated.
"Yes, have you forgotten - Mr. Yao made a divination for the childe on his birthday last year. He said that it was not suitable for the next year's birthday, so there was no news in the house this year. The slaves and maidservants just saw the childe's reaction and remembered that tomorrow was tomorrow."
Xu Mingyi felt a slight shock in his heart.
It's really not suitable to do it wantonly
Although she was a little careless here and couldn't remember the specific day of Ming's birthday, she clearly remembered that an important event had happened in the palace on the day of Ming's birthday that year.
Xu Ming subconsciously glanced at the clear sky above his head.
It's fine today, but tomorrow will be a thunderstorm.
And there was a thunder. I don't know what kind of coincidence it was, but it steadily split above the imperial palace. Most of the Fengtian hall, which had just been repaired, was burned by the thunder fire.
Since ancient times, natural disasters have been regarded as a warning from heaven, and the thunder splitting of Fengtian hall is a top priority. All kinds of rumors have sprung up secretly for a time.
Even though emperor Qingming tried his best to suppress the rumors against him, the later facts still proved that this matter was always remembered by the world - a few years later, the world was turbulent, and this old matter was mentioned again among the people. Emperor Qingming was completely crowned as a tyrant who was unkind and unworthy of virtue. Therefore, heaven did not bless and everyone got the reputation of killing him.
Although the natural disaster was mostly a coincidence, the Imperial Palace was struck by thunder, and the previous dynasty did not have such a bad precedent, it is difficult to disagree with this interpretation of emperor Qingming's inhumanity.
At least for now, Xu Mingyi thinks so.
"Girl, when we come back later, let's take a birthday gift to the childe?" ah Kui said aside.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
This is natural.
Business needs to be done, and of course children need to be coaxed.
Of course, what's more important is that you can't explain without preparing gifts.
Zhu Xiu had prepared the carriage and waited at the back door.
Xu Mingyi's front foot just took ah Kui into the carriage, and then a dark shadow followed in.
Ah Kui was stunned.
Isn't it right that birds should fly? What's the matter with following them in a carriage so righteously?
Xu Mingyi sighed silently.
Sure enough, she became lazier and lazier as she grew up. She was the lazy bird she knew who could nest but not stand, and who could rest but not fly.
But this indolence must not be encouraged.
Xu Mingyi threw the big bird out mercilessly.
The big bird quickly retreated and flew to the yuan seat, sitting with Zhu Xiu, who was driving the car.
Zhu Xiu hesitated for a moment and didn't push the bird down.
It was not that he couldn't bear it, but that he was worried that the other party would step back and take second place again and sit on their roof.
And there is a vulture squatting on the top of the carriage
That picture may not be too eye-catching, which is not in line with his girl's original intention of avoiding people's attention and low-key travel.
Thinking like this, Zhu Xiu moved in the direction of the big bird and blocked the bird behind him.
But it can only be blocked roughly. After all, the bird is not a delicate object.
In the Xuesheng teahouse in the South Lane of the city, the white robed boy sat near the window on the second floor and looked downstairs out of the window from time to time.
The waiter who came to change the tea saw that his childe was looking out of the window again. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this is still the childe who was cold and quiet when he first arrived in the capital. At present, this is a big white goose.
If you come here every day, you'll have to stretch your neck.
Vaguely aware of the waiter's strange eyes, Wu Tsung took back his eyes, slightly frowned and asked, "is this street always so cold in the morning?"
The man replied: "go back to childe, yes."
As we all know, when the masters chose this land, they just liked it. Isn't it cold enough?
Childe, it seems that he is worried about the poor business of the teahouse. It doesn't make sense.
When can such a boy who is used to duplicity marry a daughter-in-law?
The man was suddenly worried.
The childe's life event is not only the worry of the prince, the son and his wife, but also what they care about.
At this time, there was a sound of cars and horses outside the building.
Wu Tsui didn't see it again, but somehow, his eyes could control it, but his ears didn't listen. He always wanted to concentrate and listen to the movement outside the building.
Soon someone came upstairs.
Wu Tsung turned to look.
A girl in an ordinary white shirt and yellow skirt appeared in front of her, as if she were a cluster of winter Jasmine blossoming in the morning, fresh and pleasing to the eye.
She always walks faster than ordinary girls, but she doesn't give people a sense of urgency and rashness.
Wu Chiu's eyes stayed for a moment on the servant girl who followed behind the girl.
This is not the servant girl that Miss Xu takes out on weekdays. Listening to the footsteps, it seems that she doesn't know kung fu.
What do servant girls who don't know kung fu bring out for?
The boy thought with some worry.
"Mr. Wu."
Xu Mingyi sat down opposite him with a trace of familiarity.
"Miss Xu, can you make progress these two days?" Wu Tsui didn't beat around the bush. The way they got along and talked was always direct and clear.
"I went to see Miss Xu last night and learned about Xia Han's weaknesses and an old thing worth investigating -"
Xu Mingyi picked out important things from his conversation with Xu Ying last night and told him.
Wu Tsung nodded thoughtfully.
Just about to say something, a figure went up the second floor.
"Childe."
Xiao Qi saluted Wu Chiu, looked at Xu Mingyi, raised his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Xu."
Wu Tsung frowned slightly.
Shouldn't you be calm and steady as a dark guard? What's it like to smile?
Seeing the girl nodding to Xiao Qi with the same smile, Wu tsugamu only felt very unhappy and asked Xiao Qi coldly, "what's the matter?"
Xiao Qi replied: "the second young grandmother of the Xia family, Lu Shi, was a little abnormal this morning. This person went out early in the morning. The carriage seemed to go in the direction of Lv's house, but turned the direction halfway and went out of the city to Qingyang temple."
"Qingyang temple?"
Wu Tsung's eyes moved.
First go to the direction of Lv's house and then go out of the city to the Taoist temple. It can be seen that most of them are hiding their trip to the Taoist temple under the name of going back to their mother's house.
"And the carriage stopped at the back path of Qingyang temple. LV didn't get off, but a servant girl in a hat entered the temple." Xiao Qi said again.
Wu Chiu and Xu Mingyi, who were also aware of the wrong, looked at each other for a moment, so they confessed: "let people be sure to find out the purpose of Lu's visit today, and report back as soon as you have news."
Xiao Qi answered and went immediately.
"Lu Shi only met Miss Xu yesterday. This trip may be related to Xu su." Xu Mingyi said positively.
