257: Shadow in the Account (2 more)
No, besides her and the fifth master, there is another person who has not forgotten.
Cheng Qing now wants to talk to Meng Huaijin, so she knows that she is not fighting alone. However, she is in the Shangshu Mansion, and there is no Meng Huaijin by her side, only Cheng Gui with a slightly red face.
Mr. Cheng Liu's words in the study made Cheng Gui understand the reason why Cheng Qing was targeted in the Imperial College.
It turned out that he had offended the Lord of Roujia County.
What Cheng Gui wondered was how Cheng Qing could have something to do with the Lord of Roujia County.
Cheng Qing thought of what Dong Jinqiu said yesterday, and pulled Cheng Gui over and made Mrs. Zhu and Cheng Zhixu jump up in anger. It seemed quite interesting?
Therefore, Cheng Gui asked her that Cheng Qing's attitude was not as strong as before, and he made up lies very seriously:
"It's a long story. That year, I went to Beijing and accidentally met the county lord Roujia. The county lord fell in love with me at first sight and repeatedly expressed his feelings. However, I already had a lover, so I had to refuse the county lord's favor... Who knew that the county lord would turn from love to hate, and I was helpless!"
Cheng Gui's expression was so wonderful.
"Cheng Qing, do you think I will believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it? I am not as handsome as my cousin, so I can't have the talent that my little lady loves me? There are many people in this world who judge people by their appearance, and a small number only focus on connotation!"
Cheng Qing swears with confidence, but Cheng Gui went from not believing a word to most of the time.
Cheng Qing also praised him for being handsome...
Since Cheng Qing returned to Nanyi in the sixth year of Chengping, the two met for the first time. When did Cheng Qing talk to him?
Suddenly, he praised him with sincere attitude, but Cheng Gui couldn't find the right words to reply.
After holding it in for a long time, I comforted Cheng Qing:
"Don't belittle yourself, you have grown a lot taller in the past or two years, and you are not ugly!"
Cheng Gui felt that it was a bit strange to evaluate others' appearance.
The young man he met should be Meng Huaijin in terms of good looks.
Even if I came to the capital and studied in the Imperial College, I have never seen so many students who are better looking than Meng Huaijin, no matter what their origins are.
Meng Huaijin is probably at Yu San's level.
Cheng Gui has seen several of them, even Cui Yan, who has lost weight, is also very good.
As for himself, Cheng Gui has always been self-aware. He has only a good appearance and can be called a middle-aged man, but he is really not "fashionable".
And Cheng Qing has been thin and small since the first meeting, and has no masculinity.
But when I think back to Cheng Qing's appearance in the sixth year of Chengping, compared with now, it has actually changed a lot. She has grown a lot taller, and the yellow energy on her face has faded away to a little bit. If you can look carefully, you will find that Cheng Qing's facial features are pretty good. The best thing is that she has a pair of eyes that are clearly black and white, and she is very energetic.
The other facial features seem to have not grown yet, and it is a bit dragging the hind legs of the eyes.
When he put Cheng Qing among a group of handsome young men, Cheng Qing looked unpretentious at first glance, but when he looked at him again, he became more and more attractive.
In addition, Cheng Qing’s different styles of behavior from ordinary people make people unconsciously pay attention to him. This kind of charm seems to be innate, and it is not surprising that the county magistrate will be happy with Cheng Qing!
"Well, in the future, don't be too rude when you deal with this kind of thing. However, the lord of Roujia is indeed not a good match. Even the person who has just arrived in the capital has heard of the lorujia County Lord riding a horse to death on the street. For this matter, the censor also filed a complaint to the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor fined the lorujia County Lord a year's salary without any pain, and ordered the princess's mansion to pay the farmer's family a sum of money and settle the case. However, the censor was sent to Lingnan by a transfer order after half a year!"
Cheng Gui said, his mouth pursed into a straight line.
To indulge your niece and demote the censor who dares to tell the truth is not something that the wise and wise rulers will do.
Unfortunately, I am just a small juren and can't even control me.
The hippie smile on Cheng Qing's face slowly closed.
She wanted to tell Cheng Gui that Roujia not only trampled on someone on the street, but also killed Cheng Rong!
This cannot be said.
Cheng Gui is too young, and Cheng Qing doesn't believe in the other party's psychological endurance.
In a few days, he will go to the Princess's Mansion to attend a banquet. Cheng Gui accidentally reveals traces and will alert the snake.
"Cousin, I was actually joking. I offended the county lord Roujia because she saw me saying a few words to the prince of Ye, Xiao Yunting. Roujia regarded Prince Xiao as a forbidden body. Regardless of men and women, whoever gets close to Prince Xiao will be unlucky!"
This is a one-time reminder for Cheng Gui to stay away from two people.
The Lord of Roujia County and the Crown Prince Xiao Yunting of Ye!
Cheng Gui was stunned when he heard this. There were even women in the world who regarded men as forbidden. Cheng Gui didn't even bother to pursue Cheng Qing's lying to him just now, and blurted out:
"It's ridiculous!"
"Yes, it's really ridiculous. The longer you stay in this capital, the more you will find that there are still many absurd things. It's far worse than living in Nanyi County."
People leave their hometown and are humble.
The capital is naturally not as comfortable as Nanyi, my hometown.
Whether it is diet, climate, or familiar local accent.
But a good man is determined by all directions, and the comfort of his hometown will wipe out people's struggles, so Cheng Gui does not regret going to Beijing.
Seeing that Cheng Gui was in his mood, Cheng Qing waved his hand and said good night and went back to his room.
The room prepared by Mrs. Qin of Cheng Liu was living in when she came back to Shangshu Mansion. Cheng Qing was also familiar with the journey. She sent the maids down and was about to go to bed with a loose dress when she saw a shadow reflected on the bed tent.
Cheng Qing paused, pretended to take off his boots, pulled out the dagger tied to his legs, hid it in his sleeve, and touched a paper bag from the other side.
When she slowly stood up, she continued to take off her clothes as if nothing had happened.
While he was calm and retreated to the door.
As she approached the door frame, she heard a chuckle, and a figure was cast by candlelight on the wall, right behind her!
Cheng Qing returned his hand and spilled out the things in the paper bag, and stabbed the dagger back!
The shadow behind him groaned.
Sharp.
The fabric was torn and pierced into the flesh. She spent a lot of money to buy this dagger from Mr. He’s pawn shop. It was so sharp!
"save--"
There is no end to a cry of help.
A cold sharp weapon pointed at her vest. She wanted to finish calling "help" and the other party might stab her to death.
This strange sense of familiarity.
This ghost defense of the Shangshu Mansion.
It’s better to be safe when she is protected by several big dogs and a dozen servants at her own home!
"Little Thistle?"
Cheng Qing tried to shout.
The person behind him did not move.
Cheng Qing licked his lips: "We are all old acquaintances, why bother to use a knife and a sword? Do you think so?"
Another footstep sounded in the room, someone walked in from afar, and Cheng Qing heard laughter.
"As an old acquaintance, you just go with lime powder and dagger? Cheng Qing, you are a province of Jieyuan after all. You should be an example for scholars. Where can you learn these despicable tricks!"
Not only Xiao Ji, but even Xiao Yunting came in person.
Cheng Qing thought that this sick man had forgotten her. After all, the two had not met for more than a year, so Xiao Yunting might have discovered other interesting "toys".
