but
The two of them also knew that the reason why Yan Ruyu found out about Qu Hongye was because of Su Changan being treated as a female ghost last night.
So he must know that Qu Hongye didn't collude with assassins.
On the contrary, the two of them found it quite interesting when they heard the story about red leaves spreading poetry through the creek.
so.
Su Changan looked at Qu Hongye and asked, "Male or female?"
When Su Changan asked this question, everyone present was stunned.
Including Xia Fengxiang, who didn't intend to get involved in this matter and just wanted to watch.
Why are you paying attention to this? It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl!
Xia Fengxiang felt helpless.
Qu Hongye looked at Su Changan in surprise, not understanding what the Queen meant.
Su Changan saw Qu Hongye's expression and asked with a smile: "I mean, the person who writes poems with you is a man or a woman."
When Qu Hongye heard this, he was still surprised because he still didn't understand what the empress meant by asking this, but he still bowed respectfully and replied: "I don't know."
Su Chang'an nodded and looked at Maple Leaf thoughtfully: "That's right, you haven't even met her before, but from what she wrote to you, it sounds like she is a man, and you have fallen in love with him."
When Su Changan spoke, he had a curious and gossipy expression on his face.
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone present was surprised again, especially the female officials in Qingquan Palace including Hongshu.
After all, Hong Ye didn’t come here to be accused?
Why is the empress saying such things and looking forward to it?
Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Changan helplessly, but didn't say much. She just looked at Qu Hongye. She was also quite curious.
Qu Hongye looked at the empress and the emperor looking at her. Although she had met the late emperor and even seen some things about the world,...
I was still confused by the Queen's words and didn't know how to answer.
So I couldn't figure out what the Queen was talking about, so I knelt down towards Su Chang'an and said, "I know your sin, please forgive me."
Seeing Qu Hongye kneeling down, Su Changan glanced at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu immediately helped Qu Hongye stand up and said, "The empress doesn't like people kneeling to her."
Qu Hongye heard this and looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan smiled and said: "What's your crime? This matter is nothing, and the matter about the female ghost is a misunderstanding, not an assassin or anything like that. Your Majesty just asked my maid to tell you, but it seems that she is I haven’t met him, so your Maple Leaf poems don’t count as colluding with the assassins.”
"I asked you if you have fallen in love with him. In fact, I read your poems and what he wrote to you, so I am just guessing and asking out of curiosity. However, if you really like him, I can make the decision for you, but You have to first see what kind of person that person is. After all, words are just words, not real people. Words can be deceptive. And the other person knows that you are a palace maid, so she might covet you for something. Although you are not my personal maid , but he is from the palace, so he is my person. I don’t care if I don’t know about this. Now that I know, I will definitely help you check it."
Hear what Su Changan said.
The female officials present at Qingquan Palace, as well as Qu Hongye, looked at Su Changan with a soft smile in surprise.
queen empress
What do you say? This is
Moreover, can the empress be so close to people?
Instead of blaming Qu Hongye for his behavior, he actually supported it? He even said that he would help Qu Hongye check things out and so on.
Hongshu looked at Su Changan and couldn't help but look at Sun Shanggong.
Sun Shanggong had a smile on his face.
Sun Shanggong was actually worried about the female ghost last night. After all, the previous assassination was really frightening!
But after arriving, he saw His Majesty and the Queen's expressions of surprise when they heard about Qu Hongye. Sun Shanggong immediately knew that these two people seemed to know the inside story about the female ghost.
I think so for no other reason.
Just because Sun Shanggong knew very well that if a dangerous existence suddenly appeared like that, His Majesty would definitely be worried about the Queen, and the Queen would definitely be worried about Your Majesty. The two of them would definitely not be so leisurely and inactive.
But just like that, it was clear that he knew the inside story, so Sun Shanggong also immediately knew that Qu Hongye was not a colluded assassin, but just an empty and lonely palace man with some emotions in his heart.
Seeing Sun Shanggong's smile, Hongshu looked at Su Changan again.
Inexplicably, I thought of the late Empress.
The first empress was also so gentle and kind to others, but she was inferior in talent and temperament. You can tell by just hearing the names of the maids around her.
But Hongshu felt relieved in his heart, as long as nothing happened. After all, Hongye was just a poor person.
Su Changan didn't care about the looks of those people, but looked at Qu Hongye and asked with a smile: "So."
But just when Su Changan opened his mouth.
I saw a Chixia Army hurriedly running towards me.
When he came to the outside of the pavilion, he clasped his fists and saluted Su Chang'an and Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the Second Miss and Miss Cui, the Second Miss of the Zuo family, the Second Young Master of the Qi family, and some people from other countries have arisen. Conflict. We found that the person who contacted Qu Hongye was among them."
heard this
Xia Fengxiang looked at the Chixia Army: "Zuo family, Qi family?"
Chi Xiajun immediately clasped his fists: "Yes, the person who contacted Qu Hongye is Mr. Washe [Caileju] accountant. The second young lady of the Zuo family and the second young master of the Qi family brought some young ladies from the south, as well as some businessmen from Fanbang. I went to Qingquan Town to have fun, and there was some trouble in [Caileju]. I had a conflict with that person. The second lady and Miss Cui happened to be passing by at that time, and they got into a fight."
Su Changan frowned: "Are they okay?"
The Chixia soldier said: "Well, although there is a conflict, I am safe with Captain Zhou by my side."
Hearing this, Su Changan breathed a sigh of relief, but he smiled helplessly. They were talking about Qu Hongye here, now?
But if you think about it, it's not a coincidence. After all, the people from the Chixia Army must have checked who was the person who passed the poem to Qu Hongye Hongye.
Xia Fengxiang, on the other hand, looked at Su Changan: "Every time I go out with you, I come across this kind of thing inexplicably, and you can still help me."
After saying this, Xia Fengxiang stood up and looked at Su Changan: "It involves the Zuo family and the Qi family, so it is necessary to go and see it. And isn't the person who contacted Qu Hongye also there? Just take a look and see what it is. Such a person."
Su Changan was even more helpless. He didn't know why he encountered this problem every time he went out.
But he still nodded after hearing Xia Fengxiang's words.
After all, Lin Han has an elegant temperament and a kind heart. Although Yu'er is strong, she still wants to see it, lest these two girls suffer and be bullied.
Moreover, it is indeed a good time to see what kind of person is like who can write so many things to make people happy.
so.
Su Changan stood up and looked at Qu Hongye.
Qu Hongye looked shocked and worried, mainly because he heard the identity of the person who wrote the letter to him, but also heard that the person actually had a conflict with a dignitary!
However, Qu Hongye also saw the Queen looking at him, and quickly lowered his head, pursed his lips and didn't know what to do.
Su Changan asked with a smile: "Do you want to come together?"
Chapter 365 My sister, let alone beating people, it’s okay to kill people
Like the capital city, Qingquan Town also has a certain atmosphere of the New Year. Although it is not a major business hub, it cannot be denied because of the reputation of this soup pool. On the side of the emperor's palace, there are also the construction of mansions for the nobles in the capital.
This originally just an ordinary small village has become a bustling and prosperous town today.
Of course, the emperor and the queen seemed to have forgotten that there was a majestic palace on Qingquan Mountain here, and they had not been there for a long time.
But standing in the town and looking up at Qingquan Mountain, you can clearly see the unique palace built on the mountain. Especially the palace and the mountain are integrated into one, which is quite a spectacle, especially in the autumn. , there is such a palace among the red maple leaves on the mountain, its rarity is self-evident, also when the mountains are covered with snow, and in summer when the mountains are green and green.
Therefore, even if the emperor and the empress do not come, just being able to see the view of the royal palace on the mountain is refreshing and lingering.
There are many shops in the town, and every household hangs Spring Festival couplets. Old faces and new Spring Festival couplets make everyone happy.
There are too many shops, so there must be no shortage of all the shops that should be there.
A restaurant like [Caileju] with beauties, handsome men drinking and chatting with them, singing and dancing is naturally indispensable.
Ma Situi is Cai Leju's accountant.
In the past, he was also called a genius. At the age of seventeen, he got the qualification to take the examination. If he were in high school, he would definitely become famous. But now, he is already thirty, and he has passed the examination for thirteen consecutive years. .
Even this year, which was said to be the easiest exam in the whole Xia Dynasty, he failed to pass the exam.
People around him also laughed at him, calling him Horse Twelve last year, Horse Thirteen this year, and I wonder if he can be called Horse Fourteen next year.
Frustrated and unable to return home, he decided to work as a bookkeeper at Caileju through a friend's introduction, thinking that he could make money through this and continue taking exams next year.
After failing the imperial examination for thirteen times, he has tasted the kindness of the people around him and turned his back on him. Now, Ma Situi, who was sharp and flamboyant when he was young, his originally straight spine is slightly bent. When talking to people, it is also Be polite and don't dare to say anything. Even if someone laughs in front of you, you will laugh a few times. If the other person doesn't let you go, you will laugh at yourself and then leave.
If Ma Situi's life is compared to a sharp blade, he is now just a rusty iron sword. It has no edge and no bluffing effect. It is actually a joke for others to see.
Thirteen imperial examinations, and it can be said that Ma Si returned to prepare for the fourteenth, why was he so persistent.
Ma Situi didn’t know.
People around him, including parents, brothers and sisters, and finally relatives and friends, or people who only knew about his affairs, all advised him to just let it go. Everyone in the world has a destiny. If all scholars can go to high school, wouldn't the world be full of people? And although his knowledge is not high enough for high school, it is more than enough to be a teacher in a town or village.
At thirty, Ma Sihui will be thirty-one this year. He is not married, has no desire for a woman, and has achieved nothing in his career. Those who studied with him at that time may have given up the imperial examination, or were in high school. No matter what, without exception, everyone has a much better life than him. Even though some people are more cautious about money, there is always laughter in the family during the holidays, but Ma Si retreats here, and there are thousands of lights in the house, and there is no one else. He has an empty wallet and works for others to survive.
However, there were some close friends of Ma Situi who introduced women to Ma Situi, but Ma Situi refused them all, and also said, "How can you settle down if you can achieve nothing and have nothing to do with your sleeves?" ’
His friends persuaded him, but Ma Situi politely refused.
Ma Situi didn't know what he was insisting on. Every year he failed in the imperial examination, he wanted to give up and go home. At worst, he would go to the village and become a teacher. During the holidays, he could also get gifts from students' families. A few strips of bacon, a few pheasants, a wife, and a child are better than continuing to be looked down upon by others in the capital, and being discussed and ridiculed in private.
But every time I have such thoughts, I look back at the books I have torn through, and think back to the heroic words I spoke when I was in high spirits.
Ma Sidui sat back at the desk and continued to read the books.
When they arrived at Caileju, the salary of the accountant was not low, which made Ma Situi feel grateful to his friend. Although it was a place of pleasure and was despised by some scholars, Ma Situi now had passed the age where he was too good at what he thought. I don't care about other people's eyes, I just want to do it here and continue to prepare for the exam.
Many people in Qingquan Town knew that the accountant of Cai Leju was a poor scholar who failed to pass the exam thirteen times. Many people were secretly talking about it, ridiculing and ridiculing him a lot.
On the contrary, the men and women in Cai Le Curie who were forced to smile and smile every day in this world were very polite and respectful to Ma Si. The person who introduced Ma Si to quit had a good relationship with the big boss. , there are also reasons for really admiring Ma Sihui.
After all, these prostitutes, who want to change their way of life, can't overcome the hurdle in their hearts, or they are reluctant to part with the easy-paying jobs nowadays, but this Mr. Ma has obviously lived a better life, but he has always been Keep doing what you want to do.
Those big shots, the men and women in the world are afraid of them, but there is such a person beside them, that is respect.
