Chapter twenty-nine
He sent someone back to talk to Xiao Yezi and Ruyun from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, then he picked up the buns and walked home along the way.
When I received the holy order, I was very confused.
That's why there is an audit.
But if the books are clean, even if I have to go on a business trip again.
"Alas!" Life is miserable.
The emperor did not let the former Minister of Civil Service intervene, because he was probably suspicious of the candidate.
It seems that I and Prince Nari are tied together.
"What's wrong, young master?" Hao Duanduan, why are you sighing?
"Master, I'm tired, let's go back."
I originally thought of letting Qingshan go back alone, but now it seems that I should go back together.
My dear, I am very hardworking. I’m so exhausted from running around here and there without even getting paid. How can I still go shopping like this?
When I returned to the house, I saw my big bed and lay down on it.
Is this really retribution? I spent too much time in bed in my previous life, so now I'm running around non-stop all day long.
"Zhou Xiaochuan, I want to change back."
Zhou Xiaochuan saw the rogue pushing the door in and lying on the couch like a puddle of mud. His posture was very inelegant. If outsiders saw him, they would definitely suspect him as the tutor of Zhou Xiaochuan. But before he could say a few words, he interrupted.
Change it back? He also wanted to change back. But now this is all they can do.
He has learned about scoundrels over the years, but now that he says this, he is probably encountering trouble again.
"Who did you meet today?"
Zhou Xiaochuan knows me well. He handed him the buns he brought back.
This ghost is raised by me now, so naturally I can’t forget to feed it. Wu Mo said that there must be an inextricable connection between Zhou Xiaochuan and me. He and I share the same body and spirit, so having more contact with me will definitely bring a lot of benefits to Zhou Xiaochuan. If he has enough energy, he will have such a day.
"Prince Rui."
"What is this?"
"The buns taste pretty good. I'll bring you some to eat."
I'm afraid this scoundrel has forgotten again, I can't eat.
No need to eat either.
"I forgot." Looking at Zhou Xiaochuan's idiotic expression, I just realized that he couldn't eat.
"It doesn't matter, you will eat it one day." I'm just rubbing salt into people's wounds. But Zhou Xiaochuan, one day, you will be able to do it.
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know why he was like this, but he just acted like a rogue to comfort him.
"Have you met Prince Rui?"
Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan change the topic, the young master ate the buns he brought while answering his questions.
"Um"
"What's so strange about Prince Rui?"
What's strange? Why do you ask? What is the strangeness? Or could it be said that Zhou Xiaochuan and him were incompatible with each other, and any clues would be regarded as strange.
Does invitation count? This is just a trivial matter. If this matter is considered strange, Zhou Xiaochuan would be too stingy.
"No, why do you ask?"
Zhou Xiaochuan saw the rogue's calm expression, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him. But there was no need to tell him the reason, but now he was holding his own body, and every move he made was watched by many people. If he didn't explain it clearly, he didn't know how many troubles would be caused.
"Prince Rui has a habit of cutting off his sleeves."
Prince Rui was not a man of broken sleeves at first.
But in order to cut off the thoughts of those restless people. He must be a cut sleeve.
No one would be willing to do something when they were forced to do it, and he was no exception.
But compared to having people think about treason every day, using him as a cover, and having no peace all day long, it is more comfortable to let him come with the broken sleeves.
So in order to make others give up on him, he spent the whole day looking for some small Prime Minister's Mansion, sleeping on flowers and sleeping in willows, and found it very interesting even after messing around all day.
Seeing his mischief, those people couldn't stop him, so they thought of marrying him some lovely wives and concubines. They were so annoyed that he simply took some of his husband-in-law and raised them in the backyard, so that no one would dare to give him away. he.
Without these many worries, life will be free and easy.
Today, he was surprised that the man actually got on his carriage, but when he thought about the rumors in the palace that his memory was damaged after being injured, it seemed true.
If it had been before, he would have absolutely refused.
The next day, I went to Xisi Hutong.
I don't know how to check accounts, and to my surprise, neither can Zhou Xiaochuan. This situation is really rare.
So I can only ask the emperor for Ruyun in a fair and honest manner. After all, her intelligence agents are trustworthy. But if we hurry up, the only shortcut is the king. If the king agrees, why bother to get in the way. .
The accounting affairs were left to Ruyun.
I took Zhou Xiaochuan with me in a carriage. Somehow it was because of the bad weather that Zhou Xiaochuan was not so listless.
I'm not the only one who doesn't know how to check accounts, but also Prince Rui in the carriage behind.
Prince Rui is a man with cut sleeves.
Being a cut-off-sleeve person in this era really requires courage.
Fortunately, Prince Rui can be considered a powerful person. Apart from the emperor, the most noble person in this dynasty is Prince Rui.
Although many people in this world are fearful of words, there are always some people who break through these constraints and do whatever they want.
For this alone, I still admire him.
''Hey, do you know who is responsible for providing food and money for disaster relief? "
I really have nothing to say to someone in the carriage who is silent and immersed in reading all day long.
"You didn't want me to know?"
Zhou Xiaochuan looked up at the rogue who took him out today and asked.
In fact, he was not that fond of reading. When he was a child, he studied hard just to meet the requirements of the prince's attendant. Not all of it he did voluntarily. But now he can't do anything, he can't speak, he can't lift his hands. The only person who could see him was the scoundrel in front of him. But he is a man and is not used to showing weakness in front of others.
Not even if he hits rock bottom.
"Because you are better than me at handling such things."
I appreciate those guys who are extraordinary. For example, Zhou Xiaochuan has no sense of existence.
But Zhou Xiaochuan is undoubtedly a talent.
"Why do you think I'm awesome?"
How is he such a powerful person? If he was powerful, how could he make the emperor care about going to the General's Mansion? If he was powerful, why couldn't he protect the people he wanted to protect? If he was powerful, why was he forced to take this path. He has been planning for these years, but in the end, besides taking his life, what else is there?
Zhou Xiaochuan is a talented person, but he is also an awkward guy. I was in good spirits just now, but now I'm depressed again.
Why is this guy so awkward!
"what are you doing?!"
this! This scoundrel dared to pinch his face!
The skin under my hands still felt good, so I simply squeezed it for a while. It was interesting to see Zhou Xiaochuan, this awkward guy, bewildered. Now that I haven't arrived at Xisi Hutong, I want to start a fight with him.
The carriage was not very big, and Zhou Xiaochuan dodged the scoundrel's hand while also worrying about the people outside the window hearing the noise. The scoundrel was not afraid of losing face, but Zhou Xiaochuan was not. He was not so careful and fell into the devil's clutches several times.
"Master? Master, we are at West Fourth Alley."
Qingshan felt that his family was a little more lively today. He was the only one in the carriage and could make some noise from time to time. He didn't even hear a single shout from him.
"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble." After making a fuss, his clothes were all wrinkled. Although Zhou Xiaochuan's clothes were not wrinkled, his face had a few traces of red. He no longer looked depressed and looked very handsome.
Zhou Xiaochuan is probably not even twenty years old. This thin and slender boy with a flushed face has been walking here alone all these years, and he can still face this result so calmly.
Suddenly I felt heartbroken.
He stretched out his hand to hug the young man into his arms, patted his back and smoothed his hair.
"I have worked hard all these years alone."
Put it in your ear and talk to him.
What about the aristocratic family? So what if the prince reads it as an attendant? So what if you have a distinguished status?
These things that make the world look up to and envy make this teenage boy think hard and tremble, as if he is facing the abyss until the end, how can he not be considered powerful!
Zhou Xiaochuan never thought that someone would say such things to him.
No other person in this world can know what he wants to do.
When he made up his mind, he decided to go to the end alone, even if there was no recovery.
He knew that the various people around him were not his kind, and that he and they would eventually go against each other. Whether he understood or not, his original intention in doing this was never their understanding. Since there is no understanding, how can we support it?
So in their eyes, he was a playboy who acted recklessly because of his status, or a leader who committed murder. The rumors that spread more and more made him and everyone get better and better.
There was no one around anymore.
He wasn't lonely, not at all.
It's just that no one shares his joys and sorrows.
That's all.
Chapter 30"Why are we getting off here?"The scoundrels here don't know, but Zhou Xiaochuan does. It's still some distance from Xisi Hutong. Could something happen ahead?"I'm afraid that's the case, so you can hide in Jade Perry."Although the sun is not bright, it is still lethal to the ghost Zhou Xiaochuan. And lying in jade can protect him temporarily."Scoundrel, have you forgotten that I am here to help you?"Those eyes were as full as water and as bright as peach blossoms, and the upward curve of the corners of the mouth carried the warmth of the morning sun.He didn't move his eyes for a moment."Master, who are you talking to? Why are you stunned? Master?"Qingshan looked at the young master who got out of the carriage, muttering something, and then he was so stunned on the spot, mumbling, could he be sick? Thinking of this, Qingshan pretended to reach out to see if the young master was really sick?"Qingsh
"Rogue, despite your usual bluffing, you are also a complete fool."Zhou Xiaochuan, who was sitting in the car, murmured to the rogue who was hiding in his jade pendant.Zhou Xiaochuan does not believe in ghosts and gods.Even though he had died before and stayed in Jade Perry for such a long time, he didn't believe it. So what if it's true? He has been working hard for so long. If there are ghosts and gods, why don't you see him having such a hard time! In this world, the only person he can trust is himself!This scoundrel is a complete fool. He is never merciful, but if he sees someone who is weak and helpless, he will definitely lend a hand to help him. He is obviously a scoundrel with nothing, but he still wants to save the world. It is only thanks to the character of this bad guy that he can pick up one. Life, come back to this body.He could already touch the things around him. Although he could not shine directly into the sun, he fell asleep on t
Chapter 32Always accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is not doing things well. Please forgive me!"Having trouble doing things? You look like you are confident!"King Rui, tell me what you saw yesterday."Prince Rui was just a decoration when he went to court on weekdays, and the ministers rarely saw him born. Since it makes no difference whether he goes or not, he simply asks for leave from the emperor. If he has a headache or fever on weekdays, he will rest at home for three to five days. In January, Prince Rui always takes leave three to five times, so in January Among them, there are only a few people who can see Prince Rui in person. As for the visit, it never happened. There are two reasons for his wish. Before becoming the king, Prince Rui lived in the palace and no one visited him. After the title of king, when the emperor ascended the throne, Rui Wen's mother and concubine left with the
Chapter Thirty-ThreeWe walked all the way back to the General's Mansion in this way, stepping on the green brick floor and blowing the spring wind. It was almost May, and although the evening breeze was cool, it was also very comfortable."grown ups?"The stall owner had just set up his stall when the person he met was the man from the previous day."You recognize me?""Sir, noble people often forget things. The day before yesterday, you ate Hu Tang and steamed buns in a small shop."They had just met him once the day before yesterday, but this gentleman actually took his words to heart. The refugees in Xisi Hutong have now been resettled, and he can do business safely, all thanks to this gentleman.Hu Tang? steamed stuffed bun?Could it be that the food the scoundrel carried was bought here that day?"Is your Excellency the same as that day?"Same? It was the first time for him to eat here. It was so open and crude
Chapter Thirty FourMaster, I woke up. It was really dark today. I didn’t even light a candle. Even thinking about going to the bathroom, I was afraid that I would accidentally fall to death. Ghosts don’t need to go to the toilet, right?(System: Scoundrel, are you sure ghosts don’t need to go to the toilet?Young Master Me: Probably ...Ghost: I want to appeal! There is species discrimination! ... )Wait, wait. No, sir, haven’t I turned into a ghost? How come such a heavy body comes from! Where is this! Master, I want to go out!"Is he lost in the jade pendant?"Since Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't sleep, he looked for someone to relieve his boredom, and Wu Mo, who was imprisoned in the General's Mansion, was a good candidate. This is a secluded place in the General's Mansion. Monk Wu Mo has no martial arts skills, so he can just find someone to watch him.Unexpectedly, someone was also asleep, with his eyes open and a slumped look on
Chapter Thirty-Five"I don't know when the rain stopped?"The patter of spring rain has also been falling for a long time. Although I am a ghost and cannot bask in the majestic spirit of the bright universe, the bright moon at night can also be used to comfort me. Now it’s better. This whole day There was a lot of water vapor, and it felt cold on my face and body, which was very uncomfortable."The continuous rainy season, how long do you think it will last?"He could stand being alone, but he didn't expect that it was the ghost who couldn't stand the loneliness first."Do you want to go out?""Where am I going? I'm a ghost ... wait a minute, you mean now that the weather is gloomy and rainy, I can go out for a walk?" After asking, Fang felt very excited. I can finally be a little free. Active. This opportunity is so rare! After being held here for so long, it feels like being in prison. Now I can be let out for a bit of fun, which is natur
Chapter Thirty SixI have a short brain and cannot think of such twists and turns.I hid in the blind spot of their sight and listened to their discussions in lowered voices."My lord, I took the bait.""Um."They took the bait. It looked like they had laid a hidden thread. There was a crowd of heads downstairs, mostly dandy boys. In a place like the capital, if the clothes-drying pole fell, it could hit two wealthy families, let alone such a salesperson. Golden Cave.Setting up defense here must be closely related to beauty. It’s not vulgar I think, but it’s hard not to think about vulgarity in this place. What legitimate reason would you come here to close the net?I thought that the beauty must be the bait they dropped, but the weight of this beauty is a little lighter. Although beautiful, in this capital, although such beauty is of the highest quality, after all, it is not enough at this untimely moment. So risky."Sir, plea
Chapter Thirty SevenHe, the top scholar, actually became a murderer. He never imagined that this would happen. He didn't know when the knife fell out of his hand, and he didn't know when he left the garden. For many days after that, I was in constant panic. All I could think about every day was the smell of blood on my hands that day, as if I had never had time to clean them off. It seems that there will never be a clean day in this life.The servants saw that he was depressed all day long, either drunk or sleeping soundly. They couldn't bear to see that the high-spirited scholar had ruined his life like this, so they asked the book boy to persuade him, and it was best to pull him away. When you enter the market, you will see more prosperous scenes, which will make you feel better.The book boy has been with him since he was a child, and has experienced both prosperity and loss. When the master and his wife died suddenly and the family was completely devastated, h
