Chapter 176 How did you become thousands of households?(1/2)
Zuo Daoqi was thinking about going to the lake, but Changyi, who was having a delicious meal there, raised his head and wiped his mouth with the peony embroidered cloud pattern handkerchief that had been prepared nearby.
Her movements were graceful and gentle, showing her royal nobility. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Dodge, "I just said that all the dishes I ordered are absolutely delicious!"
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Zuo Daoqi nodded perfunctorily and gave a thumbs up, "The princess is really a gourmet in Kyoto. Not only can she eat, but she can also eat..."
"you shut up!"
Zuo Daoqi can be considered a talent if he can drive Changyi, who likes tea to talk the most, to the point where he almost goes berserk.
He was about to talk casually when he dismissed Xia Xiaoyu who was outside the door.
Over there, Changyi didn't know what he was thinking, but he had already stood up and opened the door of the box.
"Xiaoyu, come in, I just can't finish eating, so hurry up and eat with me."
Changyi and Xia Xiaoyu knew each other. After all, Xia Xiaoyu was a disciple of Chen Guanshi. When he was young, he often followed Chen Guanshi in and out of the palace, so he knew Changyi.
But as they grew older, Changyi went to the Imperial Academy to study, and Xia Xiaoyu practiced Xuanmen. The two of them had little contact. They only saw each other and knew each other's faces on a few days, so Changyi only heard about it.
heard Xia Xiaoyu's voice.
A confusion flashed in Xia Xiaoyu's eyes. It seemed that she didn't remember who Changyi was, but she just felt familiar. But she was a foodie, so when she saw a table of food, she didn't think about it. Since they knew each other, let's sit down and eat.
"Xia Xiaoyu!"
Tantai Jing's somewhat annoyed voice came from behind, and then she also walked in with steps.
The next moment.
On her somewhat exotic face, her eyes suddenly widened, she stretched out her right hand and pointed at Zuo Dodge, "You...you...you...!"
!”
"Are you the Eunuch Zuo in the palace or Taibai Zuo!?"
Zuo Daoqi glanced at Changyi, and then said, "Our slut Qianhu Zuo Daoqi, girl Tantai, we meet again."
Tantai Jing's face flashed with confusion, Qian Hu?
Could it be that he is neither Zuo Taibai nor Zuo Eunuch?
Is there a third person with a face like this?
Her brain circuit was really different from ordinary people. Even though Zuo Daoqi had already called her name, she still couldn't realize that Zuo Daoqi was Zuo's father-in-law.
Xia Xiaoyu finally came to her senses. She also pointed her finger at Zuo Qi, "Eunuch Zuo? Why do you have thousands of households?"
Zuo Daoqi smiled proudly, "Our family is upright and awe-inspiring in the north, so naturally we have thousands of households."
Xia Xiaoyu said "Oh", put her head on the plate, and devoured it.
Zuo Daoqi's face suddenly felt awkward. He forgot what kind of character this woman was.
On the other hand, the surprised expression on Tantai Jing's face calmed down, and she looked like an iceberg beauty again. She said in a very calm tone, "Eunuch Zuo, do you know Zuo Taibai in Kyoto? He looks very similar to you.
"
Changyi raised his head, Zuo Daoqi stretched out his hand to press it down, and took a bite of food for Changyi with his kuaizi, "Princess, eat quickly, didn't you like this just now? Eat without talking and sleep without talking, this is a sage's saying.
"
Changyi wanted to struggle, but Zuo Daoqi lowered his head and said, "If you don't speak, I will compose a poem later."
After appeasing Changyi and preventing Tantai Jing from knowing that Zuo Taibai was Zuo Qianhu, he raised his head and continued, "Of course I have heard of Zuo Taibai. I heard that he is a suave and charming person, and he is a model for today's scholars.
He is a master of seven-character quatrains and is said to be a rare rival in ancient and modern times. His face is even comparable to that of Peach Blossom Man. I have been friends with him for a long time, but it is a pity that I can't meet him."
Tantai Jing nodded, "Zuo Qianhu is right. He is indeed very smart. It's a pity that he is not in the capital now. As for his appearance... he is on par with Zuo Qianhu."
"Miss Tantai is joking, how dare you compare your looks with the famous Jade-Faced Man from Kyoto."
Tantai Jing felt depressed. Did Zuo Taibai still have the title of Jade Face Man? According to what he had learned during this period, Zuo Taibai was obviously not very famous. His poetry was indeed very good, but not many people knew about it.
ah.
However, it was her principle to remain aloof in front of outsiders, so she nodded indifferently and said nothing.
Zuo Daoqi didn't want to praise himself any more, so he changed the subject and asked, "I went to Beidi some time ago and met a few disciples who claimed to be from the previous group. They said that they were old acquaintances with the Tantai Chief, and maybe they also knew the Tantai girl.
Woolen cloth."
Tantai Jing nodded coldly, "My father and I did come from the same family, but I haven't been to the same family for a long time."
Zuo Daoqi nodded clearly, stretched out his hand to indicate a dish on the table, and said to Tantai Jing, "Miss Tantai, try it. This dish is the best. It must suit your taste."
The two of them were chatting happily on the sidelines, and the other two foodies were also enjoying their meal quite happily.
Perhaps because Xia Xiaoyu, a pure foodie, was here, Changyi's appetite was whetted and he ordered more.
Xia Xiaoyu also remembered who the delicate girl in front of her was. She was chewing big food and said to Changyi, "Princess Rong'er, you are really good at ordering food. However, although this food is delicious, it is not delicious. I will bring you another day."
Let’s go eat at Jinxian Pavilion. It’s a big restaurant under the name of my Demon Slaying Mansion. The food there is expensive, like the meat of some kind of monster, and..."
She didn't waste any time, she kept eating, kept chattering with her little mouth, and her articulation was extremely clear, which was considered outstanding.
Tantai Jing didn't eat much, and she and Zuo Daoqi talked incessantly.
She suddenly remembered something. Zuo Qianhu looked so similar to Zuo Taibai, so he might be a very smart person, so she asked.
"Zuo Qianhu, I have a question to ask. I wonder if you can help me answer it?"
"Miss Tantai, just ask."
"I'm tracking down a big villain, but I don't have any evidence, and I can't just arrest him. How do you think I can catch him?"
Zuo Daoqi immediately understood that this stupid girl was asking about the arrest of Grand Master Yuan Zhong.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of shame in her heart. What a stupid girl. She was even easier to deceive than Changyi. If he used Zuo Taibai's identity to trick her into bed another day, she probably wouldn't even find out.
But this sinful thought only passed away for a moment, he raised his head and said.
"Since we can't find any clues, why not let it go and wait until the evil man reveals his flaws?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Tantai Jing's eyes, and then a spiritual light bloomed.
She suddenly realized that she had been paying too close attention these days. The Taishi Mansion had already known about her existence, so she gained nothing.
While she was thinking, her eyes moved to Xia Xiaoyu, her eyes were strange, she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Zuo Daoqi was chatting happily with her. Suddenly, something moved in his heart. He had always been curious about the aftermath of the death of the fourth prince, but he had never found a real insider. The Tantai Jing in front of him was from the Demon Slayer Mansion, and he probably knew something about it.
Insider.
"Miss Tantai, I also have something to ask you." As he spoke, he looked down at Changyi.
Tantai Jing didn't notice, and said with a cold face, "Zuo Qianhu just said it doesn't matter."
Zuo Daoqi gently pointed outside and said, "It's better for us to discuss this matter alone."
Tantai Jing stood up directly and walked out.
The moment Zuo Daoqi also stood up, Changyi raised his head slightly, as if he remembered something, and paused in chewing, but he quickly recovered.
When he arrived at an empty box, Zuo Daoqi did not speak. Instead, he pinched the spell in his hand, and something like water waves rippled around the room.
"Partition walls have ears, so Tantai girl, please don't care."
Although Tantai Jing's expression remained indifferent, her right hand had already been put into the small leather bag on her waist. Zuo Daoqi had seen her last time, and that was where she kept her magic weapon.
"I heard the news of the death of the fourth prince in the North. I dare to ask Miss Tantai if there are any clues about the Demon Slayer Mansion?"
He wanted to use these clues to confirm some of his conjectures.
Tantai Jing relaxed, then shook his head, "The death of the fourth prince is too strange. Master Xiaoyu said it was related to the movement of the Yinghuo star. I don't know the specific details."
Zuo Daoqi frowned when he heard this. Is it related to the movement of the Yinghuo Star? Could it be an accident?
"You said before that you have been squatting in this restaurant for the past few months. On the night when the fourth prince died, could you see...the Grand Master?"
Hearing this, Tantai Jing glanced at Zuo Daoqi in surprise. She didn't understand what he meant by asking this, but still nodded, "He has a hobby, he likes fishing. He used to fish near the canal every day, and he fished all day that day.
There is nothing abnormal about the fish.”
"In addition to the death of the fourth prince, has anything else happened in Kyoto in the past few months?"
"A few days after the death of the fourth prince, Prince Gong also passed away..."
Prince Gong!
A thunderbolt flashed through Zuo Dodge's mind.
He had met Prince Gong, and together they offered incense to the late Emperor Qianyuan when they were in the imperial mausoleum!
This Prince Gong left a deep impression on him. He described Ku Gao as having a huge rosy nose and seemed to be on the verge of death. At that time, he was still wondering whether this man was the brother of Emperor Yuanji or the father of Emperor Yuanji.
Is he dead too?
Zuo Daoqi had a hunch in his heart that there was definitely some inevitable connection between the death of the fourth prince and the death of Prince Gong.
But this situation, that is, the "Shocking Change" script he is currently working on, does not seem to have calmed down as time goes by. Instead, it began to intensify with the death of the fourth prince!
Zuo Daoqi returned to the box with worries.
