Chapter 029 Guest
"Are you out of breath?" Looking at the people sitting opposite, Duan Ziyi poured him a cup of tea with a pot.
"How can you vent your anger by smashing something?" Xia Jing picked up the teacup and drank it all. "I did this to let Zhang Zetian know that I knew what had happened. In addition, I also indirectly told him that we didn't know where Qiuer was going, and scared him."
Duan Ziyi shook his head secretly in his heart. Xia Jing is good at everything, but his brain is a little simple, but because he is a simple person, he is willing to get along with him.
He has seen a lot of smart people, and he is tired of it.
In the evening, Xia Jing went to the city lord's mansion alone.
Duan Ziyi is used to the tricks between nobles. He will not give people a chance to calculate himself and stay in the inn alone. Now he wants to know where the little girl has gone and can't really go out of the city.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, the time they chose was too good. Not only did the patrol officers and soldiers do their duty that night, but there was also fog, which covered up their whereabouts very well, so..."
Unexpectedly, the clue was broken? Duan Ziyi flashed. Where can the weak woman who has no power to bind chickens go? If they really leave the city, how can they protect themselves? Liang Guo said that it was big or small, but it was not small. It was not easy to find someone to talk about it.
"Didn't find any abnormality?"
"Yes."
"This is really a good ability." Duan Ziyi muttered, "Check again. If you can't find it in the city, you can go to the surroundings outside the city. There are three of them, and they can't disappear out of thin air."
"Yes."
In the quiet room, Duan Ziyi whispered softly, "It's really getting more and more interesting, Zhang Hanqiu, Qiuer, you have to hide better, don't be found by me, otherwise... how boring it is."

Xia Jing's movements fell to the ground silently like a cat, and he did not dare to push his ears too long. If he accidentally bumped into something, his sister would not be able to raise her head in front of him for the rest of his life.
I eavesdropped on the woman's chat and made sure that Guo Ziliang didn't come over today before sneaking into the house.
Xia Wei was sitting in front of the dresser, and another figure was clearly printed in the bronze mirror. She still didn't find that there was one more person in the room.
Xia Jing had no choice but to whisper, "Weier."
Xia Wei suddenly turned around and looked at the person she was finally looking forward to, "Second brother..."
"Don't move, just sit down." Xia Jing sat on the floor next to his sister's collapse, put the shoes in his hand aside, and fell to the ground on the clean side.
Xia Wei knew that her second brother was thinking of herself, and her eyes turned red in an instant, and the days when she was spoiled in her mother's family seemed to be a matter of her previous life.
"Weier, I can't stay here for a long time. Let's make a long story short. Do you know about Qiu Er?"
Xia Wei nodded hard, and her eyes were full of hatred. "Zhang Zetian, who killed thousands of knives, must have forced Qiuer. How could he be so cruel, how could he..."
"Did he say anything to you after this happened?"
"In the past ten years, how dare he meet me in private? It's not easy to get the favor of the city owner, and it's too late to avoid it from afar. Xia Wei sneered, "But this matter should not be decided temporarily by Qiu Er. At the beginning of the New Year, Qiu Er transferred some valuable things to Jingyi one after another. Jingyi later inquired about it. Rulian didn't use some of the dowry I left, but she exchanged all the valuable things for cash, and asked Jingyi to help After that, I went to see Jingyi. Jingyi told me that the three slaves kept outside the city were missing. I heard from the people in the village that they left with a carriage, but she later helped to buy a few strong women and couldn't leave with them because they were placed in Lianxi Temple.
"After I went to see Qiu'er a year ago, she asked me to send her some tung oil, which should be in preparation for arson." Xia Jing affirmed her sister's statement, "It seems that Qiuer is really out of the city. I don't know if she has enough money. Those slaves can be trusted?"
Xia Wei's mouth was bitter, "We can't find anyone now, but we can't believe it, so what can we do? I can only try my best to comfort myself in my heart. My Qiuer will not be so miserable. She is so smart, courageous and courageous that even if she is in trouble, she will definitely be able to avoid danger.
But both of them know how difficult it will be for a woman who can't protect herself to go outside. They are even more worried that Qiuer, who is only 13 years old, will be bullied, which will lose her for the rest of her life.
They all know how harsh the world is to women.
Just thinking like this, Xia Wei was sad. Her whole life was ruined in the hands of Zhang Zetian. She had all kinds of patience, just to keep her daughter safe, but in the end, she fell into the current situation. Zhang Zetian, how can you make me not hate you?
Xia Jing was also uncomfortable. He was silent for a while before he continued to talk. "Tomorrow I will go to Lianxi Temple. Qiuer may turn around and take things away."
"Jingyi has never seen a male guest. I have told her that whether it is Qiuer herself or others to pick up things, let her leave their current foothold. Second brother, I have to ask you for this matter. It's inconvenient for me to get in and out. Even if I know Qiu'er's movements, I can't catch One."
"Silly girl, you are my own sister, and Qiuer is my own nephew. Who can I help her? Otherwise, isn't it the same as Zhang Zetian's conscienceless bastard? The innocent and charming sister before she got married still looks so beautiful, but her eyebrows are full of unyedable sorrows.
"Qiu'er will be fine. Don't worry, even if I find people all over the world, I will find people. At that time, I will prepare a thick dowry for her and find a good family for her. This noble family can never go. Just find a merchant with the right family. It's better to wear white clothes than to
Xia Wei smiled bitterly. She was already a lesson from the past. How dare she let Qiu Er take this road again?
The two brothers and sisters had another conversation. Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Jing took his shoes and turned them through and left.
The wind was very cold at night. Xia Wei stood in front of the window for a long time until her whole body was cold before closing the window and going to bed.
After suffering from the cold night, if you don't cover the quilt tonight, you should be able to get sick tomorrow.
She can't rely on much now. The city owner's love for her is her best weapon.
Zhang Zetian, I don't have the ability to destroy you, but I can make you restless and make you at peace with the Wu family. It's just to make the city lord think that I eat the beauty. Just install it a few more times.
Xia Hanqiu, who was remembered by several people, lived a much better life than they thought.
After the book was printed, it didn't attract anyone's attention at all in the first few days. Xia Hanqiu knew that this matter was not urgent. She convinced herself that she was not in a hurry again and again in her heart. If she really couldn't stand it, she asked Ru Niang to take someone to Lianxi Temple to pick things up. Big.
It's not a problem to have that gold and silver for a few years.
For several years, she didn't believe that her story was not attractive.
Miss boudoir's limited activities are just a tea party for little sisters, to be a female celebrity, to be a butterfly... Those can be compared with her own story?
What she lacks now is an opportunity to make them notice Shuxiangzhai.
Afraid that his impetuousness will affect everyone's mood, Xia Hanqiu has not often left the house in recent days. He was fierce, but the story was finished in three days.
Hearing that these were going to be printed into two volumes, Ta Song thought that what had been printed before had not moved, and he only felt heavy in his heart.
Xia Hanqiu knew his worries, but he couldn't explain her self-confidence.
"Shuxiangzhai, I found it, here it is." Several heads poked out of a carriage, all wearing cloaks, and they knew that they were not old enough to listen to the sound.
Tasong just came out of the side door. Hearing the words, he couldn't help but stop, and hope rose in his heart.
It was not until he saw several young ladies being helped out of the carriage and enter the door of Shuxiangzhai by the maids that Ta Song was relieved and couldn't help smiling under his face. It seemed that the young lady's intentions were not in vain.
Today, it was Yanliang who took turns in the shop. When he saw someone entering the store, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "What do some guests need to buy?"
"Well, we have finished reading the book you put in Chen Ji Rouge Shop. The sophomore there said that only you can buy the back, isn't it?"
Finally, someone fell in love with it!
Yanliang smiled even more, "Yes, three ladies, please have a look. The row inside is all there. The first row is the first volume you have read, and the second row is the second volume."
Two of the three people ran excitedly to get it, but the rest did not move. They just asked, "One volume and two volumes, is there another three volumes and four volumes behind it?"
"Miss Gao Jian, that's true. My master said there would be more later."
"Oh? Did your master write this?
"Yes, it is said to be used as a pastime."
"Your master is so idle. I don't know when such a talented person came to Tingcheng now."
After all, Yan Liang's foundation is a little thinner, and he can't stand such words, so he can only barely deal with it with a smiling face.
Talang turned out from behind the counter and answered without saying anything, "My master really moved here not long ago. There is no root, no foundation, no relatives and no reason. I hope you can take care of me in the future."
"Slavery?"
"The slave is."
Just when Talang thought she was going to be humiliated, the young lady walked in, step by step as if she were walking in her own home.
The little girl who took several books in her arms and looked up, her tone was full of excitement, "Yingying, I want to buy more books."
"I also planned to buy a few more books. My mother and sister-in-law are also very idle every day. With this story, there are fewer contradictions."
The other two don't dare to say this, although they don't think so much in their hearts.
All three people took one or two volumes, and the number was a little different. The extra one or two volumes took six copies each, and the less one took three.
"How much money do you have in this book?"
"Miss, this book was written and printed by our master himself. It only sells two taels of silver for one volume, and there is absolutely no arbitrary price."
"Two taels, it's really not expensive. Let's pay the bill."
The last one was thirty-six taels. The three of them gave the money happily and went out with the book in their arms.
Ta Liang looked at the small pile of silver and giggled and couldn't wait to show his work in front of the young lady now.
PS: Well, it will be on the shelves on New Year's Day. I heard that the double monthly ticket, let's get a guarantee! Put it on the shelves for support.
