Chapter 296

"ah!"

Mr. Zhen was splashed by the cup of hot tea, and let out a shrill scream, almost toppling the roof.

The tea rolled down his face, and the tea leaves wetly stuck to his flushed face which was scalded by the tea.

Zhen Ruzhu held an empty teacup in one hand, her gaze was like a torch, and her back was straight.

"Wow!" An Le exclaimed as she watched this scene, her mouth opened wide.

"Zhen Ruzhu, are you crazy?!" Master Zhen shouted hysterically at Zhen Ruzhu, his facial features distorted.

"It's you who's crazy!" Zhen Ruzhu hated and was furious.

She carefully picked up the cup of talisman tea, as if she was carrying some fragile and rare treasure, and brought it to Boss Zhen.

The shopkeeper pinched the unconscious Boss Zhen again, and pressed acupuncture points again. Boss Zhen finally woke up with blood on the corners of his lips.

"Father, you have been poisoned." Zhen Ruzhu said hastily, "Drink this cup of talisman water, and you will be fine!" She carefully blew on the tea cup, and felt the cup to test the temperature.

After waking up, Boss Zhen looked weaker, his lips moved, and it took a long time to say a word with difficulty: "Okay."

His voice became hoarse and weaker.

He took the cup of tea handed by his daughter, gritted his teeth, and drank all the tea in the teacup including the ashes and tea leaves.

Zhen Ruzhu put her heart into her throat, and stared at Boss Zhen without blinking, afraid that he would start vomiting and diarrhea after taking the medicine like before.

As soon as the talisman tea entered his stomach, Boss Zhen felt warm in his stomach, but then there was a sharp pain.

His complexion changed, and he covered his abdomen with his hands, his face showed pain, and a salty smell rose from his throat.

"vomit--"

He leaned over again and vomited out, this time, it was a big puddle of black blood, covering the original red blood on the ground.

"Men are put to death! Come on, someone put to death!" Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhen gleefully shouted out, pointing at Gu Yanfei for a while, and Boss Zhen for a while, with resentful eyes, "Report to the officer, hurry up!" Report to the officer!"

While shouting, he was still wiping the wet tea leaves on his forehead with his sleeve, his face was burnt into a red pig's face.

Miss Zhen caressed Boss Zhen's back, and asked nervously, "Father, what do you think?"

Boss Zhen gave a "bah" to the ground, still covering his abdomen with his hands, and was shocked to find that his abdomen didn't hurt anymore.

He felt it with bated breath.

Like, really, really different!

"Report to the official?" Gu Yanfei rolled his eyes and said with a smile on his hands, "That's a good idea."

Gu Yanfei turned her head and looked at Chu Yi who was beside him who was silent, her eyes were shining, and she seemed to ask him silently: In this way, the new Jing Zhaoyin can make an impact, right?

Chu Yi twirled the temple flower in his hand with his slender fingertips, and smiled softly, with an uncontrollable smile rippling on his face, using the smile as affirmation to her.

"Yes, I want to report to the authorities." Boss Zhen raised his head suddenly, and said resolutely, his voice gained confidence.

ah? ! Mr. Zhen subconsciously looked at Boss Zhen, and took a closer look, but saw that Boss Zhen, who was still so weak that he was about to drive west at any time, had become much more energetic, his pale complexion became rosy, and his eyes were piercing. It's a different person from before.

"You..." Mr. Zhen's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, he staggered back two steps, accidentally turned his left foot to his right foot, and fell to the ground.

"Father, let's report to the officials now!!" Zhen Ruzhu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

There was a firm and fierce light in her eyes, and she looked at Master Zhen with the desire to kill someone with her own hands.

In order to plot against their family's fortune, they actually used such vicious methods to murder her father, it was really unbearable!

Even if she wanted to get rid of her family, even if she couldn't keep the Yinzhuang open, she would sue the officials and seek justice for her father!

With the support of his daughter, Master Zhen stood up, his eyes blushing.

At this moment, new hatred and old hatred rushed into my heart.

When his father died, he and his mother were kicked out.

The two thousand taels that the family got from the family division was also left by the father to their mother and son, and it was his share. It was he who opened the Yinzhuang with his own hands and struggled for decades before he bought the current one. A family business.

Be it his elder brother or other clan members, no one has ever helped him.

Later, when he became prosperous, his elder brother and those clansmen became concerned, and would come to the door from time to time to talk about taking concubines, adopting, and making troubles. If not for this, his frail wife would not take the risk of getting pregnant again, and ended up with two dead bodies .

Now is a great opportunity, with the eldest princess witnessing it on the spot, even if they make this matter a big deal, they will take it for granted.

And if you don't have the heart to deal with the culprit this time, there will be a next time, next time...

Boss Zhen gritted his teeth, and exchanged glances with Zhen Ruzhu, both father and daughter had the same determination in their eyes.

An Le saw the whole thing from beginning to end, with righteous indignation written all over her face, and said considerately: "Miss Zhen, hurry up and report to the Jingzhao Mansion with your father, and let your shopkeeper greet us."

The father and daughter solemnly bowed to Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi, and left immediately.

"Second brother..." Mr. Zhen hurriedly got up from the ground, chased after him in a panic, and shouted, "Second brother, do you really want to report to the police..."

The woman who came with him was a little embarrassed, she put on a half-smile, and walked away resentfully.

The number of people in the back hall suddenly decreased by half, leaving a lot of space.

The shopkeeper and the two Yinzhuang clerks were still a bit shocked when they thought about what happened just now. The clerk quietly squeezed his thigh, and the pain told him that what happened just now was not a dream.

Then this girl is really an expert, she can tell at a glance that their boss's family is not sick but poisoned, and a single talisman can cure their boss's disease... no, the poison is cured.

Living dead, flesh and blood, that's all.

The clerk looked at Gu Yanfei with admiration, as if he was reverently looking up at a statue of Guanyin.

"Sister," An Le was also looking at Gu Yanfei, twisting Bai Shengsheng's fingers, and asked with a frown, "Why did they do this, just because Miss Zhen is a girl?"

"Because of the silver." Gu Yanfei replied naturally, lowering her head to pick up the jewelry on the tray, her eyes fell on a gold-plated jade phoenix-shaped belt hook.

After all, the word "greedy" is at work, coveting things that don't belong to me.

An Le nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly realized in her heart: So that's the case, the source of everything is money.

Therefore, some people have been targeting father and elder brother, and they didn't want elder brother to return to Beijing before, because they have more money in their family!

Brother Dahuang is so pitiful!

An Le looked at Chu Yi with sympathy and pity. Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister. He always felt that the girl's eyes were a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yi asked in a gentle tone.

An Le's eyes faltered for a while, helped the distraction on Fu Fu's bun, and said to Chu Yi delicately: "Brother... brother, does this distraction look good?"

The shopkeeper and the guys were shocked by An Le's title again, their jaws almost dropped.

Then isn't this handsome and picturesque son the eldest prince of the dynasty? !

Chu Yi smiled slightly, looked at the baby sister and nodded, "It looks good."

She picked it, can it look good?

While talking, Chu Yi looked at Gu Yanfei who was beside An Le, Gu Yanfei was playing with the gold-plated jade phoenix-shaped belt hook, the eye of the phoenix was a shiny blue tourmaline, small and delicate.

Gu Yanfei slowly lowered her eyelashes, rubbed her fingers on the phoenix-shaped belt hook, and then looked in Chu Yi's direction, her eyes turning slightly.

The eyes of the two met silently in mid-air.

"Sister, this belt hook looks good." An Le looked at the phoenix-shaped belt hook in Gu Yanfei's hand with sparkling eyes, and clasped his hands happily, "It's very suitable for big brother."

"Good-looking is good-looking, but..." Gu Yanfei smiled with his lips curled up, his brows and eyes curled into a light arc, and he said solemnly, "You have to try it to know if it fits."

She made a long ending sound.

"Sister is right." An Le smiled even more cheerfully, and waved at Chu Yi, "Brother, come, try this hook."

In a short while, the gold-plated phoenix-shaped belt hook that Gu Yanfei had just picked was fitted on the leather belt around Chu Yi's waist.

Chu Yi is tall and tall, with a straight back. When the waist is tightened with a leather belt, it looks like a broad shoulder and a waist.

Gu Yanfei's eyes moved down from his handsome face, slowly slid over his slender neck, broad shoulders, thin waist, and finally slipped from his knuckle fingers.

He has always been good-looking, and he is very good-looking.

For some reason, he seemed to be three points more pleasing to the eye at this moment.

Gu Yanfei lingered on the phoenix-shaped belt hook on his waist, thoughtfully touched the lotus jade hairpin she wore in her hair, and thought: No wonder he wanted to give her the jade hairpin.

Turns out that's where the fun is.

Well, she thinks she should get into the habit of collecting all kinds of hooks.

Her small face was crooked, and she said with a smile: "It looks good, but there seems to be something missing, An Le, don't you think so?"

She deliberately went to ask An Le.

"Yes." An Lexin nodded in embarrassment, then lightly tapped her left palm with her right fist, "By the way, there is a piece of jade pendant missing."

"Shopkeeper, do you have a jade pendant?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded his head in a hurry, trembling with excitement.

The jewelry in their shop can be seen by the eldest prince and princess, that is a great blessing!

The clerk hurriedly brought several trays, not only with all kinds of jade pendants, but also gold and jade finger rings, hairpins, hair crowns and so on suitable for men.

The two girls were very excited, and they let Chu Yi try on jade pendants, hairpins, etc. one by one with great interest. It took less than a cup of tea, and the two of them worked together to help Chu Yi pick out a box of jewelry.

Until sitting in the carriage back to the palace, An Le was still a little bit unfulfilled, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, big brother hasn't reached the crown yet."

An Le looked at Chu Yi who was sitting opposite her, still thinking about a hair crown with gilded gold filigree unicorn pattern.

Gu Yanfei was amused by the sighing An Le, and burst out laughing with a bright smile.

"It's coming soon." She said briskly, and she had an idea in her heart: there is still one year, enough for her to find jade or something with aura, and make him the most beautiful hair crown with her own hands, as his crowning ceremony .

He should be very happy.

Just thinking about it like this made Gu Yanfei feel sweet in his heart, as if his heart was soaking in honey.

She looked at him, and he looked at her with deep eyes.

Seven points of handsomeness, three points of gentleness.

There was a bit of blazing heat in the eyes like the summer sun, burning brightly.

A few rays of the setting sun shone into the carriage through the half-covered windows, and Gu Yanfei's porcelain-white ears were also dyed a warm and intoxicating hue by the sunlight.

She felt the heat in her ears, but she didn't look away and met his gaze.

He liked to look at her, and of course she liked to look at him.

Such a beautiful person will not suffer if he takes a few more glances.

Chu Yi was also smiling, and the red mole at the end of the eye was exposed in the sun, making it redder and more colorful, adding an indescribable charm that made people unable to move their eyes away.

She would miss him and be ashamed.

Therefore, they should be considered to be getting better now.

He has always been a very patient person.

Whether it's for relatives, enemies, or those who cooperate...

After sending An Le back to the palace, the two went to Tianyin Pavilion together.

I haven't been to Tianyin Pavilion for more than a month, and Tianyin Pavilion is even more prosperous. The show has not yet started, and the lobby is already full of seats and crowded.

The guests in the lobby are enthusiastically discussing the latest new drama "The Road to the Qingxiao", which tells how a man named Liu Qingxiao, in a dynasties with turbulent undercurrents, rises from a small pavilion step by step. He started an uprising, recruited brave people, and made friends with heroes from all over the world. In just ten years, Jiangbei was flattened and became the aspiration of the people. Finally, Liu Qingxiao ascended the throne as emperor and established the Tang Dynasty.

This "A Road to the Sky" has only been sung for three days, and it has become famous in the capital. People who have seen it and those who have not seen it are discussing this play, and guests come in an endless stream.

"Oh, guest officer, you are late. There are no seats available today. Why don't you come back another day?"

"Ming'er, I will definitely reserve a seat for you tomorrow."

Xiao Er just persuaded a cursing guest to leave, and met Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei who had just entered the door, but changed another face, smiled and said: "The two guests are welcome."

Chu Yi walked in familiarly, and led Gu Yanfei up the stairs leading to the second floor, until he came to the penultimate private seat with an orchid wooden signboard, and pushed the door in.

There was no one in the private seat.

A jug of wine and several immaculate white porcelain cups are placed on the table. Beside the table is a small red clay stove with a purple sand pot, and there is a slight sound of boiling water in the pot.

Gu Yanfei got used to finding a seat by the window and sitting by the railing.

Chu Yi immediately sat down beside her, and asked her with a smile, "Tea or wine?"

Gu Yanfei wanted to drink, but looking at the purple sand pot and the small red clay stove beside him, he couldn't help but feel moved, wanting to see how he made tea.

It's so pleasing to the eye to watch the beauty make tea.

So, she changed her mouth naturally: "tea."

While talking, she adjusted a comfortable sitting position, with a delicate and lazy posture, waiting to see him make tea.

Chu Yi responded and opened the tea pot on the table.

After a while, the sound of the purple sand pot boiling water on the small red clay stove became louder, like a spring flowing.

Chu Yi cleaned his hands unhurriedly, and then began to scald the cup, wash the tea, brew, seal the pot, divide the cup... a whole set of tea-making movements was even and steady, as smooth as flowing water, and the bamboo embroidered Ye Wen's wide sleeves fluttered and fell, and the sleeves rippling layer by layer. With his movements, gentle lines like water emerged.

Gu Yanfei's eyes followed his every move, feeling that the noisy voices downstairs were far away from her, and her heart slowly calmed down.

Until a cup of brewed tea was delivered to her eyes, accompanied by a voice as clear as the mountain breeze in spring: "Try it."

He turned slightly sideways towards her, and a strand of silk-like black hair fell down. His hair was black, smooth, and flowing, and it looked easy to touch.

Gu Yanfei obeyed her own will, touched it, hooked that icy strand of hair between her fingers, and slowly took the teacup with the other hand.

The jet-black hair reflected the snow-white fingers, and his soft and shiny hair slowly slipped from her fingertips.

Both eyes fell on her fingertips...

There was silence in the private seat, until the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a bright red image floated into the private seat like a ghost. the walls.

The young man in black, Jing Shan, who accompanied him quietly guarded the entrance of the private seat, and looked into the private seat silently.

He couldn't find the cat, and he looked back disappointed.

The lock of hair at the fingertips completely fell off, and Gu Yanfei drank tea silently.

"What a coincidence~" Without being invited, Xia Houqing sat down by herself, and looked at Gu Yanfei with a half-smile, like a vixen in the deep mountains and old forests who specializes in seducing people with her beauty, with a charming ending.

"Unfortunately, we came here specifically to find you." Gu Yanfei drank Chu Yi's freshly brewed Biluochun, smiled brightly at Xiahouqing, and asked generously, "Master Xiahou, when are you going back to Yue?"

"No rush." ​​Xia Houqing said perfunctorily, and was not in a hurry to ask what was the matter.

Since they were the ones who came looking for him, they were the ones who were anxious, why was he anxious?

Xia Houqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yanfei, her fingers slowly caressed a closed folding fan, the fan bones were painted bright red, and the neatly trimmed fingertips were so pale that there was almost no blood.

When he was silent, he didn't look like a flesh and blood person, more like a white porcelain statue without a soul, both coquettish and lifeless.

Gu Yanfei's smile remained undiminished, he was still so casual, and he said in a familiar tone: "Please do me a favor."

Do you think you are such a kind person? Xia Houqing reviewed it in her heart, and neither agreed nor said she would not agree, but said lightly: "I have to re-examine your abilities, whether it is worthwhile to cooperate."

"Don't be so stingy." Gu Yanfei looked at him with his chin in his hand, and suggested to him as usual, "How about I lend you Qingguang to play for two days?"

good good good good! Jing Shan, who was guarding outside the private seat, nodded repeatedly, wishing he could agree for his lord.

The corner of Xia Houqing's Hongyan mouth twitched, and impatiently spit out a word: "Get lost."

Gu Yanfei didn't care about his impatience at all, the curvature of the corners of his eyes and brows remained unchanged, and he got straight to the point: "How much do you know about Gu Ce's surrender to the enemy nine years ago?"

Nine years ago, Xia Houqing was insignificant, and no one knew his name. Xia Houqing rose up in the Yue Kingdom six years ago. In just a few years, he controlled the Tianyuan Division and poured power into the government and the public.

Xia Houqing stared at Gu Yanfei's face for a while, her pupils were as black as splashed ink.
