Chapter 38
Chapter 38
After the curfew, Xia Lusi avoided the patrolling guards in Zhaoyang Palace, and sneaked into Feiyan Pavilion quietly.She looked out the window, and the flickering candlelight of the palace lantern was still shining through the window paper.Xia Lvsi listened carefully to make sure there was no one around, so she opened the window.
The window is actually hooked!Xia Lvsi repeated the old trick to remove the silver hairpin from her hair, tied her hair into a ponytail with a ribbon, and then put the silver hairpin in with a light hook.A few times in the past, the small copper hook in the window would be opened in response, but today Xia Lusi did not hook it.
Xia Lvsi found helplessly that the structure of the window might have been altered, which meant that Duan Lingge had closed the window, and she was no longer allowed to come in and out at will.
In fact, there is no way to get in. A small change to the window can't help her, but Xia Lusi didn't try to do anything arbitrarily.
It would be a lie to say that you are not lost.It's not because she can't enter Duan Lingge's room, but because it means that Duan Lingge doesn't want to see her, she... has taken back the privilege of allowing her to disturb unruly.
"Lingge, I'll come and see you." Xia Lvsi whispered while lying in front of the window.She didn't know if Duan Lingge heard it, or if she regarded her as a burden that was forced to her, she didn't want to pay attention to her after all.
Duan Lingge noticed the noise on the window, it was Xia Lusi.Having not seen her for two days, nor heard any news from Rongqiu Palace, Duan Lingge thought she would never want to see her again.It's just that the impulsive and hurtful words have already been uttered that day, if they can live in peace on the surface, long-term harmony will be hard to come by, so what can they say when they meet in private in the middle of the night?
Besides, a few days ago, Xia Lusi was allowed to sneak in unethically, and a different kind of entanglement happened by accident, which made the relationship between the two even more entangled.Duan Lingge didn't regret doing the embarrassing thing that night, but after all, she had never had such a moment of loss of control and confusion, it was really unforgivable.She didn't allow herself to be as frivolous and casual as that night.
Duan Lingge heard the sound of Xia Lusi pulling the silver hairpin away, she called her quietly outside, but she still didn't leave.Duan Lingge hesitated for a while and couldn't help but put down the book and walked to the window.
Xia Lusi saw the figures moving around inside the window, although she couldn't see clearly, she knew that Duan Lingge knew she was outside.
"Lingge, don't be angry about what happened that day. I told you about my background, I know it's hard for you to understand what I said, so I'll talk about it later. But there is one thing I want you to know, even though you think I'm just a mistake That's all..." Xia Lvsi said with a bitter smile.
Then she continued: "But I am here for you in this life, and I have identified you as my wife."
Xia Lvsi was talking outside the window of the Feiyan Pavilion where the curfew was under curfew, risking being discovered, she put her lips close to the window in a low voice, and almost finished speaking in a whisper.Unfortunately, Duan Lingge did not respond.
Duan Lingge didn't speak, and Xia Lusi didn't get a response, so she didn't speak anymore.Through the window, each knew the existence of the other, but neither approached.
Tears slowly fell from the candle, and Duan Lingge only felt that her shoulders and neck became a little stiff.Xiao'e came in, and lightly draped the cloak on Duan Lingge's shoulders: "Princess, why are you standing in the hall with such thin clothes, you're going to catch cold."
"Yeah." Duan Lingge looked away from the window.
Xiao'e's mind was running wildly, and the princess couldn't escape her eyes.Xiao'e said: "Is the princess going to close the window? This window has been rested, will it be blown open by the wind?"
It's a pity that she has a good mind but a lot of nerves. After finishing speaking, Xiao'e hurriedly stepped to the window, "Hey, is there any movement?"
"Hey, Xiao'e, don't open the window." Duan Lingge hurriedly called her.
However, Xiao'e still opened the window and looked around, and said obediently: "Princess, there is nothing outside, maybe there are some wild cats."
"It's a monkey." Duan Lingge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and walked towards the couch in the center of the bedroom.
"Monkey? How did the monkey run to the back mountain—" Xiao'e was halfway through her words, and a thought flashed in her mind, oh my god, it couldn't be——
She also said that the princess and Xia Chi seemed to have quarreled after they met in the study that day, and Xiao'e was also frightened that there were still people who dared to quarrel with the princess.
After Prince Xia left, the princess was very angry. After she got angry, she angered the windows of the bedroom for no reason. The princess said that the windows were not closed tightly, and the wind would blow them away.Xiao'e hurriedly called the carpenter from the department to repair the window.
It's just that I didn't expect that maybe it wasn't the wind that blew the window open, maybe it wasn't... the monkey.Xiao'e blushed, hurriedly waited for Duan Lingge to rest, and then retreated.
-------------------------------------
Xia Lvsi took advantage of the night to return to Rongqiu Palace. She didn't sleep for two days and felt top-heavy.In fact, she didn't feel too tired mentally. She received special training when she was fighting and arresting prisoners in order to solve the case. Staying up for two days and two nights would not affect her spirit.
It's just that when arresting prisoners in the past, at least some modern equipment was used, most of them were in the car, or they were wearing strong winter jackets.But last night she was wearing a silk jacket and waiting in the snow all night, and she really exhausted her strength.
After going back, he took a quick bath, and Xia Lvsi climbed into bed to sleep.When he woke up the next day, Xia Lvsi felt that he had a headache and his feet were fluttering.But she didn't stop for a while, and came together to wake herself up, and then went to the prime minister's mansion without stopping.
Because she has one thing to do, she is going to see her father and find something to help her. Didn't her father promise to give her anything as long as she has it last time? She wants her father to fulfill his promise promise.
When Xia Mengfu was about to go out, he ran into Xia Lvsi. When Xia Lvsi said this, Xia Mengfu stroked his beard and asked, "My father said that I will give you everything I have, so what does my daughter want?"
Xia Lvsi shook her head and said, "Didn't I think about it, didn't I have no inspiration? I'm going to the treasury, I'm going to find it myself!"
"Hey, what can I do, the treasury is not a place to play, it's full of goods, not to mention big and heavy, and it's not cleaned well, it's full of dust. It's better not to go." Xia Mengfu said.
"No." He refused flatly.
"Why don't dad ask someone to find some interesting and novel things and send them to Rongqiu Palace." Xia Mengfu said again.
"No." Xia Lvsi only had this word.
Xia Mengfu originally refused to agree, but Xia Lvsi came. The only son of the family who used to be an idiot, but now he has returned as a normal person, and all the members of the Xia family, three wives and four concubines, gathered around the yard to watch.
Xia Mengfu took many concubines in order to have an heir, and Xia Lvsi was the only one who got a daughter, and her mother died of dystocia.Xia Mengfu took advantage of the situation to bring Xia Lvsi to the eldest lady as the eldest son.When Xia Lusi saw this expensively dressed woman, she seemed to be a little impressed, and called "A Niang", so happy that the eldest lady burst into tears.
"Hey, hey. My son is so good, my son is so radiant, he is extraordinary." The eldest lady touched Xia Lvsi with one hand, and shook Sipa with the other, complaining to Xia Mengfu: "Master, why don't you let her go? These are gold and silver treasures, she is a little obedient, she has no strength to restrain a chicken, even if she shoulders her shoulders and fights with her hands, she can still make our house poor?!"
Xia Mengfu waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, go there, go there, let the housekeeper take it to the treasury, pick whatever you want."
"Hey!" Xia Lvsi originally had a flat mouth and red eyes, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, when he heard this, he immediately smiled like a flower, and rubbed his hands together.
The butler really took Xia Lvsi to the treasury.Xia Lusi discovered that the treasury of a large family in the Southern Dian Kingdom looks like an ordinary small house with no windows and a specially reinforced roof, so you can only enter through the main entrance.Most of the treasury has two floors on the ground plus a cellar. The first floor houses some heavy gold, silver and jade wares. Silver coins.
Xia Lusi's treasury in Rongqiu Palace is always so clean that he can't dig out a single coin.The Xia Family Quan is a big family with vast fiefdoms, and the treasury is very exciting. Gold, silver, jewellery, precious jade and porcelain are not placed all over the room, but piled up from the floor to the ceiling.
On the second floor, all kinds of bear skins and tiger skins and rare furs were stacked into three piles of hills as high as a person, and there were more than a dozen large cabinets of precious medicinal materials with thousand-year-old ginseng.There are too many calligraphy, painting and antiques, and Xia Lusi doesn't care to look at them.
When I finally got to the cellar, I opened the large wooden boxes in the middle of which were wrapped with copper skins. My good guy, it was so golden under the light of the oil lamp that it dazzled people's eyes.Little Zhuzi's feet softened, and he fell to his knees with a plop, "Ouch... I have never seen so much gold in my life, and I will never have the chance to see it again in my next life... Thanks to my son, I will die without regret."
Xia Lvsi smiled and kicked his ass: "Look at that prospect. My sister will earn more than this in the future. I will lay it on the floor and let you sleep on it. Do you feel panicked?"
Little Zhuzi wiped his tears: "If I die, I would like to sleep. Then, my son, let's take this. Don't worry, even if I am crushed into a cake by gold today, I will help you resist a lot of gold and go back."
"What's so strange about gold... I'll look at other things." After Xia Lvsi finished speaking, he walked half a circle in the cellar.
In fact, looking at it all the way, they are indeed valuable things. No wonder her father, a powerful minister, wants to control the government and never let go. He has accumulated so much wealth by using his power to amass money in a way.But these are not what Xia Lv thought. She hasn't found inspiration yet.
But at this time, Xia Lvsi found a sack in the corner.It was dusty and covered with spider webs.It's funny that there's such a sleazy thing in such a jeweled place.Xia Lvsi walked over, kicked it twice, opened it to take a look——
"Huh? And this thing? Why don't you eat a sack of potatoes? It's all sprouted in the cellar." Xia Lvsi picked up one and looked at it. The potatoes the size of a fist all sprouted.
The old housekeeper came over with an oil lamp, took a closer look and said with a smile: "I don't know what this thing is. At the beginning of the year, a foreign mission came across the ocean on a big ship. Those hairy-faced people looked strange. The thing is also strange. I sent such a bag of things like a treasure, saying that it is delicious. It looks just like the cassava in the field. It feels thick and difficult to eat. I am afraid that it is poisonous. Who dares to eat it. So the prime minister ordered The servant carried this bag into the treasury, and no one remembered it for a long time, and after almost a year, it became moldy and sprouted."
"Your Majesty, don't touch this filthy thing. The old slave asked someone to carry it and throw it away. Don't get your hands dirty." The housekeeper wanted to tie the dirty sack.
Xia Lvsi was interested: "Have you never seen this thing? Has no one in the entire Southern Dian Kingdom ever planted it?"
Little Zhuzi looked at it and said: "I've never seen it before. That is to say, in the past few years, a foreign country suddenly came from the sea, that is, a gift specially given to the prime minister from across the ocean. It must be a new thing. Nandian Kingdom Naturally, no one has planted it."
I went, no one has seen such a thing as potatoes.After Xia Lusi came back from Master, he actually thought about the current time and space carefully. In a parallel time and space, the history is different, but it follows the basic context.
For example, according to the current level of development, it is roughly in the period of the Song Dynasty.Although the pattern of the world is different, many logical details are surprisingly similar to those before she traveled over.For example, potatoes were introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty in history, so it is not surprising that people in Nandian Kingdom have never seen it, but what is amazing is that she found a bag of sprouted potatoes in the prime minister's mansion.
If she hadn't noticed, this bag of potatoes would have been thrown away in the trash, and it might be hundreds of years before this crop appeared in this world.But now that she found out, it must be said to be a kind of coincidence!Xia Lvsi threw all his brains on the big sack of dusty and dirty potatoes, intoxicated as if he was holding some precious treasure: "Potato, potato, you have also traveled through time, we have Fate, I want you!"
"Eh? What do you mean by wanting it?" Xiao Zhuzi had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, Xia Lvsi smiled with a silly face, with crooked eyes and plump apple muscles full of smiles, revealing eight white teeth, which Xiao Zhuzi and the old housekeeper are used to, silly A child's smile.
Xia Lvsi said, "I want this bag!"
The old housekeeper said in a daze, "As you please, you can do whatever you want..."
Little Bamboo slapped his head, alas, it will be spread all over the streets and alleys tomorrow, the idiot son of Prime Minister Xia’s family went into the warehouse full of gold and silver treasures, and finally chose a sack that was ugly, weird and sprouted Potatoes! ?
