Chapter 389 Who is with whom?
The shopkeeper withdrew, and after a short while, the guys put all the dishes on the table.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, the four swallowed their saliva, "Eat first, don't care about them, only think about things when you are full."
Qiao Mai winked at them, and was the first to eat with chopsticks and vegetables, and took out a jar of good wine.
The guy with the doors and windows outside left when he heard nothing useful.
"Teahouse? Listen to some music?"
"OK"
As soon as I entered the teahouse, it was very quiet, and there was a melodious tune inside. All the tea guests were fascinated by the tune, and no one made a sound.
The buddy brought the four of them to a quiet table in the hall, and the Yuan family ordered tea in a low voice.
They sat down, drank tea, knocked melon seeds, and listened to the music.
"The song is good, but not as good as my Ruier's talk"
The empress blushed and cast a coquettish look at him, "It's still okay to sing, it's no worse than what I talked about."
"mother-in-law?"
Qiao Mai closed his eyes and looked fascinated, but Yuan Jiaqi knew that the lady must be busy.
"Don't disturb her, maybe she has many people staring at us in this teahouse, or maybe she is thinking about something."
"All right!"
After a while, Qiao Mai opened his eyes and sighed softly.
"In-laws, I'm afraid we are in trouble."
"What trouble?"
"When you left the capital, all the courtiers knew that those who had thoughts about your position as a dragon would probably attack you?"
"Even if you kill the master, Xianzi is still the prince, and he is the natural successor."
"Hard to say,"
"How many people came this time?"
"They are cruel and want to get rid of you and the queen in Suzhou. Only by getting rid of you first and getting the soldier talisman on you can they have a chance to win in the capital."
"Hey, I'm not afraid, there are you two, and Heizi"
"I like to hear that. You don't have to be afraid of the capital. A single flame can withstand it. What's more, there are a few little guys in my house. Tianshui Town is not afraid. I have made arrangements to die as many as you come."
"Then you still scare me?"
"I really didn't realize it, if it weren't for this princess, you don't know how many times you died"
"We are all in-laws, whoever is with whom."
Yuan Jiaqi also glared at the emperor this time, "This is my wife, don't follow anyone else,"
"Haha, what a wife slave"
"Wife slaves are good. Wife slaves not only eat and drink well, but also become high-ranking officials and are protected by their wives. Some people are obviously jealous, but they still talk sarcasticly."
"Anyway, it's not me and Ruier."
After listening to the song for an hour, they returned to the inn by the same route, and were going to sleep for a while. They were too full at noon, so they didn't plan to eat dinner, so they explained and rested.
When Qiao Mai woke up, he found that nothing had happened overnight. It seemed that the other party was very patient.
Don't plan to do something in town? So she took out the map and looked.
Yuan Jiaqi stood by her side, looked at Qiao Mai and pointed to a place, "We will pass here when we leave Suzhou. There are forests on both sides of this road, and mountains behind it. It is the easiest place to do it."
"It seems that they are not optimistic about Suzhou anymore?"
"Fish is mixed after all."
"The emperor wants to take a sightseeing bus with the queen, shall we still go?"
"I won't go, I'm tired, why don't you take Heizi and follow them"
"No, stay with my husband, don't bother them anymore."
Qiao Mai looked at Yuan Jiaqi seriously, "Are you staying with me like this, aren't you bored?"
"It's not boring, a lady is like a book, even if she stays by her side, it's fun to be a husband"
"Then when you return to Tianshui Town, you will take care of the business. I may retreat for several years."
"I am willing to wait until the end of time to be a husband"
Qiao Mai gently pinched his face, "You, you have never let me down, you are a good man."
"You are also a good woman. I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings I have accumulated for my husband to marry you in this life."
"Sour!"
"Ha ha"
It was very calm for a few days in a row, the weather was pretty good, the sun was no longer poisonous, and it was time to go out to play.
There is a famous lake outside the city, and it is not far away. Several people discussed it and decided to take everyone there to swim in the lake.
Also let the servants and guards appreciate it together. They bought a lot of ingredients and planned to go wild on the spot.
Heizi was full of energy, sitting opposite the old emperor, he was feeding dried meat, dried fish and the like, eating with relish.
The queen and Qiao Mai each ate a fruit and looked out the window, while Yuan Jiaqi read with a book in his hand.
Yu Bao rode a horse and followed, and guards guarded both sides of the carriage. Looking at the mighty, it was really eye-catching.
This incident alarmed the prefect of Suzhou, and he hurriedly led his men to follow on horseback.
Because the sightseeing car has no windows, people outside can see clearly at a glance. When the high magistrate of Suzhou saw the emperor, sweat protruded from his forehead.
He recognized the emperor, and even more so, the father-in-law beside the emperor.
It's just that he didn't dare to go there rashly, and kept following along the road. Baby Yu took a look after returning.
"Your Majesty, there are people following behind. The slave looks like he is the son of the Gao family,"
"Old Gao Ge's son?"
"Yes,"
"Call him over, I must have recognized him"
Yu Bao turned his horse's head and came to Kochifu, "Huang Liuye told you to go over and speak, remember, his old man is now Huang Liuye"
"knew"
Kao Zhifu rode a horse to the front of the sightseeing car, "I have seen Liu Ye"
"Well, you followed all the way, but something happened?"
"I want to go to the lake with the sixth master, and talk about Suzhou by the way."
"Um"
When he saw the other three people, he immediately saluted respectfully, "I have seen the empress, the king and the concubine"
"You're welcome, you can walk and talk all the way"
"Sigh~ I really can't do anything about it. For Suzhou, I have thought of many ways. Liu Ye, can you transfer the guards outside the city of Suzhou? Change it to someone who has no enmity with my Gao family?"
"I have sent Jin Longwei to investigate. If it is true, what kind of guards will be replaced, and the family will be directly ransacked. Whoever dares to put state affairs after family affairs, I will definitely not forgive lightly"
After hearing this, Gao Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, Mr. Liu, you don't know that there are two forces in the city, a group that seems to collect protection money, but behind them there are mountains behind them. I tried to arrest them, but they seem to have clairvoyance and ears. They disappeared as soon as they were caught, and there was another group who nested in a corner of the city. It was said that they were thugs for various restaurants, brothels, and casinos. family."
"Are you on the book?"
"Yes, but nothing."
"Don't worry, since I'm here, this matter will be resolved."
Now the gloom on Gaozhifu's face somewhat dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face.
He followed a group of people to the lake and became a tour guide.
"Six Lord, this lake is called Acacia and Tears Lake. Legend has it that a fairy fell in love with a man in the world, and the two lived here secretly. Later, when the Emperor of Heaven found out about it, he killed the man, and the woman was imprisoned in the heaven. She washed her face with tears every day, and her tears gradually formed a lake here."
"Heh, what about fairy tales?"
"I have tasted the water here, it is salty, and human tears are also salty"
"The fish and shrimp inside must also be salty?"
"I don't know why, there are no fish and shrimps in it, and people don't use lake water to irrigate the land. Once this water is used to irrigate the land, the crops will die."
Qiao Mai snorted coldly, "No one doubts the reason why the water is highly saline."
The guards found a wide place and stopped, and Qiao Mai and the others also came from the carriage.
As soon as I turned around, I saw an endless lake. The sky was blue, and so was the lake water. There were no trees around, and it was very open. There were a few boats floating on the lake.
