Qizhou

There were too many people on the street, it was really hard to talk, so the two adults who met in the court bought two packs of pastries along the way, found a pavilion near the water, and began to chat with each other.

It's not easy for Ci Nian to reveal his identity, so he can only sit on the railing beside him, his legs dangling along with the lantern.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and He Qizhou said, "We've met so many times, I still don't know how to call my dear friend..."

"Ah...that's right, I forgot to introduce myself." The man in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Xu Wenzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, used to go to Qintian Prison for the winter solstice a few days ago. I was in a hurry at that time, so I couldn't discuss it with Mr. He in detail, but I didn't expect to meet him at this lantern festival today."

"Didn't I take..." He Qizhou chuckled, "Take Miss He and go out for a stroll."

Xu Wenzhi said: "This...is Mr. He's younger sister? A thief stole the purse just now. The thief had practiced his legs and feet and was familiar with the terrain, so he ran away without a trace. If she hadn't been so brave, she would have If it is intercepted, I am afraid that the money bag will never be found.”

Hearing this, Chi Nian curled his lips: "It's not my sister."

Xu Wen was taken aback, and said with a smile: "It's okay...it's okay if you're not a younger sister! Such a brave act is truly admirable."

Seeing that it was inconvenient for him to talk more, He Qizhou said, "By the way, Brother Xu, your purse is very unique. It is not only colorful, but also embroidered with rabbit patterns. It must be some girl who is attracted to you and specially sewed it. Did you send it?"

"Where..." He reminded Xu Wenzhi, then raised the purse in his hand again, looked around, "This purse is not mine at all..."

"It's not yours, so you still chase it..." The curious thoughts in Ci Nian's mind popped up again, and he, who didn't want to say any more, choked his throat and said, "It's still so hard to chase, I can't even catch my breath."

The voice was half hoarse, it sounded very weird, but Xu Wenzhi didn't pay attention to it, but slowly said: "On the top of the willow on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk."

Ci Nian was at a loss: "Huh?"

He Qizhou explained: "Master Xu is telling us that he came to this lantern market for a girl."

Ci Nian said again: "What about the girl?"

Xu Wenzhi sighed: "I won't mention it."

Ci Nian didn't make a sound, but whispered in his heart, obviously he is a scholar, how can He Qizhou speak so easily, when Master Xu speaks, there are things that he can't understand... Ci Nian feels that he can't join them He hung the lantern on a tree branch on one side, picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

He Qizhou said: "The girl's purse was stolen, brother Xu hurriedly chased it, he was out of breath, when he thought he was about to lose it, a heroine descended from the sky and snatched the purse back."

Xu Wenzhi said: "That's true."

"Then why didn't Brother Xu return the purse to the girl?" He Qizhou asked, "Did you get separated?"

"After Miss He gave me the purse, I immediately went back the same way, trying to find her, but in the end, she had disappeared. The shop owners around said that she had left with a young master, and they left me a message , said there is no need to look for it." Xu Wenzhi shook his head, and sighed with a smile: "This is the last meeting between me and her, and I'm afraid we won't see each other again in the future."

Ci Nian felt that he should be honest and eat snacks, but this person's speech was really weird, and he kept talking intermittently, which always aroused his curiosity. Seeing that Xu Wenzhi had finished speaking and did not continue, Ci Nian couldn't help asking :"Why?"

"If you want to blame, it's because I've been in Beijing for many years, and I'm just a small servant of the Ministry of Rites." Xu Wenzhi smiled bitterly, "I was so busy with the memorial service a few days ago, so naturally I didn't have time to get along with her. The only daughter of an important member of the Central Committee, she is smart and beautiful, and naturally there are no young masters around her. If she is selected, there will be another beautiful and beautiful lady in the harem. She can take time to look at me, which is good for her It's a charity, it's a gift to me."

"How can it be alms!" Hearing this, Ci Nian became unhappy, "I like it when I like it, and I don't like it if I don't like it. Why do you have to look at people's official positions? How can there be girls in this world? The official position brand chooses husband and son-in-law! Then if you get a higher official position tomorrow, will she be willing to be with you again..."

Xu Wenzhi wanted to return something, but found that he couldn't say anything, so he could only put away the purse in his hand, and continued: "I couldn't find her, so I thought that when the officials escorted the thief away, I handed her over to her." I have a red plum hairpin. After thinking about it, this hairpin should be left by the heroine. Since the heroine lost something, she will definitely come back to get it. So I went back to the alley and waited for a while , until Brother He rushed over with the girl..."

He Qizhou smiled and said: "Thank you so much Brother Xu, this hairpin is just his favorite thing, if it's gone, I'm sure I'd be so sad."

Xu Wenzhi said: "It's just a matter of raising your hand, Brother He is too serious."

"That's right." He Qizhou said suddenly, "In the first month, Master Qin Tianjian came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, and when he mentioned that we were trapped in the sky prison, it was Brother Xu who pleaded for us in the court hall. It's a pity At that time... Brother Xu was ridiculed, and I have always been very sorry. I discussed it with Master Jianzheng, and I wanted to find an opportunity to invite Brother Xu to have a meal to express my gratitude, and please don’t refuse."

Xu Wenzhi said with a smile: "When you see justice, you should do it. What's the point of worrying about it?"

After that, Ci Nian couldn't understand the content at all. He thought Xu Wenzhi was already polite enough, but he didn't expect that He Qizhou was really good at talking when he saw someone. He couldn't understand a word of Ci Nian, he felt bored, and didn't want to disturb their interest in chatting, so he could only secretly lean on the railing of the pavilion, looking at the lake surface reddened by the lights, and dozed off.

Then, he fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, He Qizhou was handing over a steaming oil-paper package. Ci Nian smelled the smell of meat, and immediately rushed out from the side of the bed, took the hot thing in his hand, without even thinking about it. Just take it apart and stuff it in your mouth.He Qizhou hurriedly said: "Slow down! Don't burn yourself."

Ci Nian ate several mouthfuls in a row. The freshly baked buns were delicious, and the corners of his mouth were covered with oil.Afraid of soiling the quilt, he hurriedly moved a few steps to the side of the bed, then stretched out his hand and asked He Qizhou for a handkerchief, the two were in a hurry, and finally laughed together.Ci Nian was the first to put away his smile, and said, "What are you laughing at! I had such a happy chat with that sour person yesterday, and you still remember to bring me breakfast. It's really not easy."

He Qizhou chuckled: "I'm afraid you are not a fox in Sichuan, but a fox in Jinyang."

Ci Nian was puzzled: "What?"

"Otherwise, how did you practice your jealous skills?" He Qizhou snatched another bun in the paper bag before reminiscing about it, and then took a bite, "Last night, I You carried it all the way from the lake to your home, it was late at night, and I had to wipe your face, your face powder and rouge stained a basin of water, and I had to take a bath for you, remove your bun, and clean you up net……"

He thought that he would be shy when he passed away, but he didn't expect the little fox to eat the buns in his hand without changing his face, and then snatched the one that had a bite in his hand: "Wash it, it's not like you didn't wash it." But, you also bathed for me in Zhuxi Village, don't think I don't know."

He Qizhou said: "Aren't you afraid that I see something I shouldn't see?"

Ci Nian curled his lips: "What can I see, you have what I have, could it be that there is something growing on me that you don't have?"

When He Qizhou heard the words, he showed a puzzled expression, and suddenly realized: "Yes, you are a fox, and I am a human being. How can I have what you have! I forgot to read it yesterday..."

"Look at what?"

"Look at you..." He Qizhou dragged his tune, suddenly lifted the quilt, and crawled in, "Where is the fox's tail hiding!"

Seeing this, Ci Nian screamed strangely, and shrank back into the quilt.The sky was already bright, the sun was just right, the snow on the eaves had melted and was dripping down, He Qizhou touched Ci Nian's waist, making this ticklish little fox laugh strangely, and the two had a good fight under the quilt After a while, Ci Nian was finally defeated. He stood up and shouted: "The Taoist priest is amazing! The Taoist priest is amazing! Spare my life hahahaha!"

He Qizhou also got out of the cup, stopped tickling, just hugged Ci Nian, who was already blushing from laughing, into his arms, chuckled and sighed: "In the future, you can't fall asleep secretly outside, too. It's cold, you have to give me even the bitter medicine."

Ci Nian said with a smile: "I am the Great Immortal Fox, not an ordinary person, those bitter soups are useless to me!"

"You have to drink it if it's useless." He Qizhou rubbed Ci Nian's hair vigorously, and the black hair slipped out from between his fingers, carrying a smell of saponin from last night, "You have to breathe if you can't cure it."

Ci Nian snorted twice, too lazy to argue with him: "You guys talked so deeply last night, I can't understand, why don't you let people sleep?"

He Qizhou said helplessly: "How deep is it? It's just that there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites. Now that the new year's festival is over, it's time to choose a new one."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites..." Ci Nian thought for a while, "Didn't the person yesterday say that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites? He has a low official position and looks down on him, let him be a minister, and the official position will be higher, so can you get that girl back?"

He Qizhou smiled and said, "You actually know that the Shang Shu is taller than the servant? It's pretty amazing."

Ci Nian said with a smile: "Of course, I am the all-knowing Hu Daxian! You went out so early today, did you go to inquire about this?"

"What do you mean, I went out early in the morning to buy you breakfast?" He Qizhou said, "But on the way back, I met Qin Ge. He just came down from the morning, and when he saw me, He followed me in a hurry, and insisted on coming back with me to grab a cup of tea."

"General Qin is here too?" Ci Nian immediately got out of the quilt when he heard it, "Then you... why are you still coming in to torment me!"

"How can this be called tossing?" He Qizhou slowly turned to one side, propped his elbows on the bed, propped his head on his palms, and grinned at the panic-stricken Ci Nian, "I told him, you are honest with me in the living room." Wait, I'm going to coax my little son to wake up. As soon as he heard this, he immediately sat there and drank tea honestly, without saying a word."

"Tell me, can this be called tormenting you?" He Qizhou couldn't control his smile when he said this, "This is clearly tormenting him."
