Chapter 181 Night Detective
Xia Zihan hummed, handed the book to Nuan Yu, and snuggled into the quilt obediently, closing her eyes and sleeping.
Nuanyu tucked her in, put down the curtain, and blew out the lamp, leaving only a small lamp in the corner.
When leaving, he carefully closed the door.
When Xia Zihan was drowsily asleep, she felt a fiery gaze staring at her.
She was alerted, and she had woken up.
Seeing a dark figure sitting on the edge of the bed, she sat up suddenly and was about to take action, but was pinned down by him.
"It's me." A beautiful and extravagant face, with a flattering and flattering smile, "You're awake."
"You...why are you here?" Xia Zihan's panicked heart fell to the ground in an instant, and then with a flick of the brush, he shrank into the quilt, covering himself completely, leaving only his head exposed.
She glared at him angrily, "You're crazy. You're up in the middle of the night. What are you doing here? If someone sees you, let's see if I care about you."
Threats come and threats go, this is the only way she can threaten him.
"Don't worry, no one will see it." Chu Jingqi comforted her with a smile.
He had found out clearly the route and time of Chu's house guards patrolling, and was very careful to avoid them when he came in.
Xia Zihan glared at him angrily, "Then you can't come here at this time. This is my boudoir."
"I heard my mother say that you were bullied. I was afraid that you would hide and cry alone, so I came here to comfort you. You don't even appreciate it. Ayu, I am heartbroken."
Who cares about you?
Xia Zihan glared at him, "It's such a trivial matter, it's not worth my tears." Then he said hurriedly, "You hurry up, Chu Cong is resting next door. She will hear it later and it will be bad."< br>
By then, even ten thousand mouths can’t explain it clearly.
Xia Zihan wanted to push him out, but she was only wearing an undershirt and couldn't get up, so she had to glare at him, "Why don't you leave quickly? You've seen it too. I eat well and sleep well, and there's nothing wrong with me." ”
She was anxious to death, but Chu Jingqi looked calm and calm, "Don't rush me away yet, I still have something to say."
"What's the matter? Then tell me quickly." After that, get out of here.
"Do you like that purple fox fur? My father found it specially for my mother. There were two pieces of leather. My mother made one piece, and I made one for you from the remaining piece of leather. Even the cut corners, I asked the people in the garment shop to sew them together to make a pair of handbags for you. How about it? Does it look good?”
At first, his father was reluctant to give it to him, saying that a piece of purple fox fur cost more than two thousand taels of silver, which was nearly half as expensive as a white fox fur. It was very rare and precious.
Before, he got the white fox fur from his father, but now he wanted the purple fox fur, and his father didn't want to give it to him.
His father also wanted to keep the piece of leather to make a neck scarf, a sleeping rabbit, a pair of handbags, and preferably a pair of insoles for his mother to match.
Finally, seeing that his father insisted on not nodding, he had to explain clearly that Ayu's cloak was scratched and he wanted to make two more for her. He was worried that she was afraid of the cold, so his father agreed to give it to him.
In order to get this piece of leather, he spent a lot of money and even embarrassed himself in front of his father.
I remember that when his father handed him the purple fox leather, he patted him on the back and said to him, "Son, we men, if you like a girl, you have to be brave and chase her. No matter what, snatch her first." Once you get it, your father will be responsible for all the consequences.”
The sky fell, but a tall man held it up.
Seeing his happy and expectant face, Xia Zihan nodded obediently, "It looks good, I like it very much, but please don't give me any more in the future. I already have several pieces, which are enough to wear."
< br>
Can it not be enough?
Last year Qi Mei gave her three fox furs. Last year they were a bit bigger, but this year they fit just right. Last time I went to the village, one was scratched, and there were two more.
Qi Mei sent three more pieces this year. She doesn't go out much and doesn't have many opportunities to wear them. She hasn't worn those three pieces yet.
Chu Jingqi didn't know that she was buying clothes and there was no shortage of clothes to wear.
He giggled and said cheerfully, "Aren't I worried that you are afraid of the cold?"
Then he added, "My dad's only good piece of leather is those two pieces, and you can't even get it if you want it."
"Then you gave me all the good fox furs. What about you? Do you have any new fox furs to wear?" Xia Zihan looked at the black wolf fur hanging on the screen in the room.
It was still the same one he wore when he came last time, but it was already a little shorter.
And the one he wore in the village was scratched when he rolled down the hillside.
"I have a good piece of black fox fur here. Let me make it for you." She couldn't bear it and said what she was thinking.
Chu Jingqi was so happy. She was so happy and sweet that she couldn't even find the east, west, east, and west. She nodded with a silly smile, "Okay, okay, if you don't have a good embroiderer, just give it to me and I'll take it to the garment pavilion." Just do it.”
The clothes produced in the Clothing Pavilion of Duke Anguo's Mansion are well-known in the capital for their fine workmanship, good embroidery, and are novel and fashionable. Unfortunately, they are only sold internally and not externally.
Xia Zihan had also heard of the name of the Clothing Pavilion, but she still said, "I can do it, so I'd better give it to you after I've finished it."
Anyway, I am tired from studying medicine and martial arts at home these days, so I just want to do something else.
Knowing that she was going to do it by herself, Chu Jingqi smiled happily, "Then don't stay up late, and be careful not to hurt your eyes." He did not forget to instruct her carefully like an adult.
"Yeah, I know. You can send Ma Baosheng over to get it in three days." It only takes three days to make a fox fur cloak.
Whatever she said, he didn't refute, he just nodded. After Xia Zihan talked to him for a while, he felt awake and no longer sleepy, so he simply started chatting with him.
Chu Jingqi knew that she liked to hear some scandals and gossips spread in the streets, so she told her everything he knew.
And he began to pay attention to these messy things after knowing that she liked to hear them. Before, he had always scorned gossip.
However, on weekdays, Ma Baosheng went out to collect gossip and told it to him when he came back.
"The fourth girl from the Dai family wanted to marry the eldest young master of the Lu family, and secretly hired someone to find out what the Lu family said. Guess what, haha... The Lu family said that the girls from the Dai family are first-class in character and appearance, and they are a good candidate for marriage. The young master of the generals, ministers and princes, but the young master of the Lu family has mediocre looks and mediocre talents, and is not worthy of Miss Dai Si.”
This is a disguised rejection.
Whether that was a compliment or sarcasm was unclear.
However, Xia Zihan believes that the latter is quite common.
It seems that some people already know about Dai Yumin's scandal in Yi'an City, but it has not been spread to everyone.
Also, so many people saw Dai Yumin's embarrassing state that day, and it was impossible for the Dai family to completely seal the matter.
Chu Jingqi also said, "Young Master Lu is the eldest son of Duke Lu and the future Duke. Isn't he of higher status than the Marquis? But the Lu family used this excuse to reject the Dai family. Ayu, you think it's funny or not."< br>
"Well, it's funny. Dai Yumin wants to marry into the Duke of Lu's house. That's just a lazy toad who wants to eat swan meat." A broken shoe wants to be the wife of Duke Lu. Haha... What a delusion.
Chu Jingqi then mentioned the Pei family again, "I heard that the Pei family intends to marry Miss Pei to Young Master Lu. The Lu family dislikes that the Pei family has been in a lot of decline in recent years and does not want to have this marriage."
"Marrying a daughter high, marrying a daughter low, Pei's second legitimate daughter marries Young Master Lu. This marriage will not humiliate Young Master Lu. Why didn't the Lu family agree?" Xia Zihan pouted, as if Disdainful of Mr. Lu.
"Well, I heard... I heard it." He stated first, and Xia Zihan rolled her eyes at him angrily, "What didn't you hear?"
Could it be that he did it himself?
Fool.
"Tell me, what are the Lu family's plans?"
Seeing that she was anxious, he hurriedly said, "The Lu family wanted Young Master Lu to marry the Danhua County Lord of Prince Yu's Palace, but then something happened with Miss Lu, and Young Master Lu's matter must have come to nothing."
The Lu family still wants to climb into Prince Yu's palace?
Prince Yu is a member of the emperor.
Xia Zihan looked solemn and sat up, forgetting that she was only wearing an undershirt.
As soon as she sat up, the quilt slid down and her upper body was exposed. The chest of her underwear was so wide that she didn't even notice that half of her chest was exposed.
Chu Jingqi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, just glanced at it, and his cheeks suddenly exploded as red as an explosion.
Although he was only nine years old, men in ancient times had always matured precociously and their bodies developed very early. Many men who were twelve years old married wives.
It was a little early for him to marry a wife, but he also knew some things that he should know. Therefore, at this moment, he only felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his head, and then his whole body was burning like fire.
"Ayu." The voice was very hoarse, "You...your clothes." He swallowed and stared at Xia Zihan's chest, which also glowed green when he was unconscious.
Xia Zihan, who was thinking about the Lu family, looked up and was startled.
Oh my god, wolf.
Cesium wolf with green light.
She looked down and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it." Then she blushed and quickly slipped under the quilt.
"Don't look at it." She glared at him and ordered domineeringly, "Forget everything you saw before and don't think about it."
"Oh." He reluctantly looked away and touched his nose knowingly, "I don't want to."
I wouldn't tell her even if I wanted to.
Hehe...
It seems that from now on, it is right for him to come and play with Ayu more often at night. He can talk to her and get unexpected benefits for his eyes.
No matter how you calculate it, you won’t suffer any loss.
Not bad, not bad.
"Ayu, who else do you want to hear about? I'll ask Ma Baosheng to find out." Chu Jingqi asked happily.
Yes, the Lu family, the Pei family, the Song family, and the Dai family are the families that Xia Zihan pays the most attention to.
When Chu Jingqi asked her which family she wanted to hear gossip about, she bluntly named these families, so Chu Jingqi sent someone to pay special attention to these families.
However, now there are two more families, "Shi Hanlin's Family and Yujun Prince's Palace."
