Chapter 263: Prime Minister’s Mansion(2/2)
Fu Hongxue said softly, she wanted to see Qingji's expression.
However, this guy who is extremely smart in all things just nodded and said: "As long as you have the intention, it doesn't matter whether you come or not..."
Hearing this, Fu Hongxue just sighed, and then the two of them fell into silence for a long time.
The rain fell less and there were fewer ripples on the bluestones in the courtyard. Fu Hongxue finally stood up, picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the side, looked at Qing Ji who stood up with her, and just looked at it.
Qingji didn't feel any discomfort and looked at the latter like this.
"I really like your poems..."
Qingji nodded and said with a smile: "I know..."
Fu Hongxue opened the oil-paper umbrella, no longer hesitated, and said softly: "So I also like you who write poetry, but I don't like you very much, but you can become very fond..."
Qing Ji froze on the spot, the two of them just stood there, the rain was pouring.
Fu Hongxue left. Before leaving, Qingji didn't say anything, but Fu Hongxue knew that this was what he had said.
Qingji sat back on the recliner, looked at the sky, and remained silent for a long time.
"What a wonderful girl, let a girl express her feelings for you, that's what you Qingji can do..."
9 Bai didn't know when he came downstairs, and while he was talking, he was already lying on the bamboo chair, very comfortable.
Qingji rubbed his eyes and said lightly: "I have someone I like..."
9 rolled his eyes at Qingji and sneered: "Is it great to have someone you like? Is it great to have always liked someone? You are still too young, and you don't understand a man's happiness at all..."
Qingji shook his head helplessly. He knew what Jiubai meant, but he didn't want to be like that. One life is enough for the girl he likes. Why so many?
"Young man, young man, tut tut tut..."
Qingji didn't listen to Jiubai's brainwashing words. He looked to the east and sighed, when can he travel?
——————
After returning to Tianqi City, what surprised Qingji the most was that Qiu Jian died.
It is said that Qiu Jian collaborated with the enemy and was investigated and punished by Yingtian Mansion. During the arrest process, he resisted fiercely and was eventually shot to death on the spot. His death was tragic.
Because of Qiu Jian, everyone in the Qiu family was investigated and dealt with, and many people were imprisoned. But in the end, His Majesty the Emperor was merciful and released all the young and old in the Qiu family, which was considered a great mercy. But Qiu Jian had committed a major crime after all.
Wrong, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. The Qiu family was finally driven out of the inner city and went to the outer city to settle down. It was a life-or-death situation, but at least the family bloodline was preserved.
When he heard the news, Qing Ji didn't show any emotion. Naturally, he didn't believe that this was the real situation. He had thought about it in the past few days, but they were all bold assumptions. Until someone from the Prime Minister's Office came to invite him, Qing Ji
Ji then confirmed his suspicion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is much larger than the Qing Mansion, and the two stone lions at the door alone give people a deterrent effect.
The Spring Festival couplets left over from the New Year's Eve have not yet been torn off, and the red lanterns are still hanging. Every household in Tianqi City seems to be like this, and it seems that even the Prime Minister's Mansion, where there is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, is like this.
Before I even walked up the steps, someone came to meet me.
Afterwards, Qingji followed the steward who led the way into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The mansion is huge, with numerous houses on the second floor, and there are countless two-story buildings. Qingji rarely sees the single-story wing rooms, so it must be a bit remote, or maybe it's just not on the way there.
1 As we walked along the road, we were surrounded by long corridors, many pavilions, flowers and trees, and it seemed that Prime Minister Daquan Cui was quite interesting.
There are quite a lot of people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, presumably because the mansion is too big and needs to be tidied up frequently.
After walking through the main courtyard, the housekeeper took Qing Ji to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Compared with the front yard and the main courtyard, the backyard was huge. There was even a small lake in the backyard. The lake was quiet and surrounded by willows and rocks.
A path was paved with bricks. Qingji walked along the path and saw a figure by the lake.
Looking around, he saw the man holding a fishing rod, sitting on a chair, quietly looking at the calm lake in front of him, waiting patiently.
Qingji walked forward slowly, walked to Prime Minister Daquan, and stood there, waiting patiently.
The willows by the lake are fluttering in the wind, their branches are intertwined, and the sunlight hits their shapes on the stone road. The mottled tree shadows give people a sense of tranquility. Qingji closes his eyes slightly and rests his mind.
I don't know how long it took, but a "crash" sound pulled Qingji out of his meditation. Qingji slowly opened his eyes and saw Cui Mingchu lifting the fishing rod. On the fishhook, a big fish was flapping extremely hard and could be bitten.
If you get hooked on a fish, you will definitely die, so how can you escape easily?
Cui Mingchu stood up, tightened the fishing line, pulled hard, and pulled the big fish directly in front of him, grabbed its body, took off the hook, and put the big fish into the wooden bucket beside him.
Inside, Qingji took a closer look and realized that there were already several big fish in the bucket.
"I'm quite patient..."
reader body
Cui Mingchu did not turn around. Although Qingji's steps were very light, he was still aware of his presence.
"Prime Minister Cui..."
Qingji bows and bows, the etiquette is in place.
Cui Mingchu turned his head slightly, patted the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down..."
Qingji did not shirk, he took a few steps forward, walked around the chair, walked to the chair, and sat down firmly.
"Do you like fishing?"
Qingji shook his head and said, "I don't really like it..."
Qingji has never regarded fishing as a kind of pleasure. Fishing is for food. If he regards it as another kind of pleasure, Qingji would feel a little strange.
Cui Mingchu smiled, threw the fishing line into the lake again, put the fishing rod in front of him, then turned to look at Qingji and said, "I heard that your fishing skills are very good..."
Qing Ji frowned, but immediately relaxed his brows. With a smile on his lips, he said: "I have also admired the name of Young Master Ling for a long time..."
Hearing these words, Cui Mingchu was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled. He felt more and more that the little guy in front of him was interesting. No wonder so many people were optimistic about him.
The two of them talked about each other and exchanged words back and forth. In fact, they were very angry.
Qingji had never fished in Tianqi City, so how did Prime Minister Daquan know about it? What else could he do besides checking? If he guessed correctly, Cui Mingchu should have checked himself thoroughly. In this way,
, the previous sentence was very threatening, which is why Qingji said the words "I have long admired the name of Mr. Ling".
As for why Cui Mingchu felt this way, it was because of Qing Ji's words.
"You are a smart person. It seems that the reputation of being honest and honest is all nonsense. Or is it just your own disguise?"
Cui Mingchu closed his sleeves with his hands, crossed his hands, and rubbed his thumbs back and forth. This is his consistent style.
After Qingji heard this, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked at the fishing rod for a long time and responded softly: "Whatever you think, that is what happens..."
The cleverness of his words meant that Qing Ji was too lazy to respond. He roughly understood Cui Mingchu's purpose.
Sure enough, after Qing Ji finished speaking, a long silence passed. Cui Mingchu waved, and several people came immediately behind him, carrying wooden trays covered with red cloth.
"In this case, let's not talk about those boring pleasantries. First of all, I would like to apologize to you on my own behalf. Cui's lax discipline of the dog has caused such a big incident..." At this point, several people
The servant stepped forward and presented the wooden plate to Qingji, uncovered the red cloth, and several exquisite objects were displayed in front of his eyes. If he looked carefully, he could see that the spiritual power was lingering around them, and they should be treasures.
"However, Quanzi was also seduced by the merchant's son, which is why he caused such trouble to Mr. Qing. Your Majesty, I have already explained that you, Mr. Qing, are the only one left here. You hope to betray me, Cui Mingchu, to save face..."
Qingji was stunned. He thought Cui Mingchu would be more reserved, but he didn't expect that he would reveal his purpose so easily. As a result, Qingji, who was originally quite confident, suddenly lost his confidence. He didn't know what Cui Mingchu wanted to do.
According to what Cui Mingchu said, His Majesty should have already known it, but why he didn't punish Cui Quanze and use one person as a scapegoat? He didn't believe that the person above couldn't figure it out.
Or?
Qing Ji raised his head and looked at Cui Mingchu, having a guess in his mind, and he was very close to it89.
The two people just looked at each other. At this time, on the calm lake surface, the fishing line swayed slightly, causing some ripples, giving the two people its response.
