Chapter 635

Although there will be no second result on the matter of peace negotiation, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should have something to gain after being away for several months.

"I'll go too." the prince quickly took two steps to catch up.

Xie Shoufu stopped, looked at the boy who had put on fox fur fur fur clothes early, and said, "the cold wind is even worse today. Your highness should go back to the East Palace first to have a rest. If there is something important, the ministers will send a message to your highness."

When the prince was about to say more, he saw that Xie Shoufu saluted: "the situation in the future must be presided over by the palace. Your highness, take care of your health, that is, you can contribute to the country."

Hearing this, the Prince did not insist any more.

He raised his hand and saluted: "in this way, I will be grateful to the chief and your adults for everything."

"Your Highness is serious. This is a matter within the division of ministers."

The ministers saluted and left.

The prince watched for a moment, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a while.

Lord Xie is right. He must take care of his body.

At least, he must not walk in front of his father.

Only when he is here can he try his best to prevent his father from going on wrong.

The boy clenched the bloody silk handkerchief with one hand, and gently tightened his fur coat with the other hand in the cold wind.

……

On the 23rd day of the winter moon, it rained in Beijing.

The rain in the winter months is freezing. After the rain stops, the chill is even worse. Few people can be seen in the already cold streets.

Jinkangfang, a young man just went out of the Ming House.

"The young man looked surprised. Isn't he new?" the gray haired old porter asked the housekeeper who had just returned from the outside.

The housekeeper glanced at the figure of the boy who drove away with the carriage and said, "it's said that it's a refugee from Qianzhou who the master took in on his way back to Beijing. His family is gone. He's a poor man... Although he doesn't talk much these days, he works very hard. Because he knows some words, he was left by the master to serve his pen and ink in the study."

Another compliment: "children who have read books are always smarter than those who have not read. These days, I asked someone to take him around. He remembers that the road is particularly fast. He can go out alone in just a few days."

The old porter nodded clearly.

Although the master was born with an iron mouth, his heart is soft. It's not unusual to take in a child.

Just, literate children

Maybe there should have been a good future.

The old porter sighed.

Nowadays, there are too many poor and pitiful people in this world.

The boy drove out of Jinkang square and came to Xiyi street.

When the car and horse stopped, the boy went to a study first and bought paper and ink.

Just holding something out of the study, I heard a sound of hoofs approaching.

"Come on, it's the police guard! Close the door!"

The door of the study was suddenly closed behind the boy, and several people in the street quickly dodged to one side. When those people and horses galloped past, they didn't dare to lift their heads for fear of being nailed to describe suspicious charges.

The boy also lowered his head and didn't take a more look.

When the sound of the horse's hooves went away, he raised his feet and walked to a shop across the street.

That's a jewelry shop.

The street was deserted, and there were no guests in the shop. Only a waiter was wiping the counter with a cloth towel.

Seeing someone come in, the man greeted him warmly and asked politely, "brother, are you here to pick up jewelry?"

The shopkeeper of his family is a famous jade Carver in the city. Many jewelry customization takes time. Most guests pay a deposit first and send someone to pick it up when the agreed date is reached.

Looking at the little brother's dress, it is obvious that he is a servant of a rich family.

The boy nodded, his voice was flat and light, and seemed a little introverted: "my wife told me to come here to find shopkeeper Xu and take back the jewelry ordered last month."

The man smiled and said, "you don't have to find my shopkeeper. Just show me the card and settle the rest of the money."

"My wife said that she didn't leave a card at that time. My wife's husband's family name is Zhou. She is a good friend of shopkeeper Xu."

There are many rich families surnamed Zhou in Beijing.

The boy listened to it and said "wait a minute", so he went to the backyard to find his own shopkeeper.

After a while, the curtain of the inner door connecting the backyard was opened, and Xu Ying, dressed in lake blue embroidered white plum boots, came over.

"I don't know which Zhou's brother is?" she came forward and asked with a smile.

The boy winked at her, and there was a smile in his eyes: "I've seen it before. Don't shopkeeper Xu remember the villain?"

The smile seemed to dilute the camouflage on the face, and was looked at by the clear eyes. After Xu Ying was stunned, she suddenly said with a smile: "it was originally the Zhou family in the south of the city. The things were ready two days ago. Come with me."

The boy nodded and followed her.

"I remember the last time your wife said she wanted to make a new head... I have some new style drawings here. I'll find them later and take them back to her." Xu Ying said as she took someone back to the hall.

The man continued to wipe up the counter.

"When did Miss Xu come back?"

When they entered the back hall compartment, Xu Ying closed the door and looked surprised and happy.

The surprised nature is that the people who should have been in Linyuan city suddenly appeared in her shop. The happy thing is that they haven't seen each other for a long time and don't know whether they are safe or not. At this time, they feel relieved to see people.

"I've been in the city for a few days. I sneaked in." without others, Xu Mingyi didn't deliberately press his voice.

Xu Ying didn't ask for details. She sat down in the chair, poured a cup of tea and sent it to the little girl. Her eyes asked with concern, "is everything all right these days?"

After the Xu family rebelled and left Beijing, there were rumors everywhere. She couldn't tell the true from the false, but she didn't dare to inquire without authorization.

"Everything is fine." Xu Mingyi asked her how she was recently.

"The business of the shop has some influence, but it doesn't matter." Xu Ying sat down, half sideways looked at the little girl who changed her appearance and pretended to be a boy, and asked softly, "there's something to do in Beijing this time? Can I help you?"

Miss Xu must have something to do.

It doesn't mean that the other party will not come to see her without a plan. But it's very dangerous to walk around the city at such a moment, not to mention that Miss Xu has always been cautious.

If we all know each other's behavior, we don't have to have those narrow and meaningless shallow ideas.

Xu Mingyi also frankly nodded his head and said bluntly, "there's really something I need Miss Xu to help -"

"Miss Xu, just say," said Xu Ying without hesitation.

Her life was saved by Miss Xu, and her revenge was also helped by Miss Xu. She would never refuse anything she could do.

If the girl finds her, it can't be something she can't do.

"Does Miss Xu still have contacts with Lady Yu, the shopkeeper of Shangyu pavilion?"

Xu Ying nodded: "there has always been some."

She came from Shangyu Pavilion. Mrs. Yu was kind and treated her well. She never broke up with her in Beijing.
