Chapter 322 The woman on the boat
Wei Yuan was naturally very unhappy when he touched the wall. When he returned to the uncle's mansion, Wei Yuan found a maid and pinched his arm hard. The maid was so painful that her face was flushed and she didn't dare to scream. She used to like this when she was thinking, but now she was angry and took action. Pan Qi said, "National uncle, why bother to get angry?"
Wei Yuan felt a little more relieved when he saw this. Seeing this, Pan Qi signaled the maid to retreat. The two of them were left in the room, Wei Yuan said with responsibility, "Didn't you say that this matter is successful? Why would you let the Duke return to the city safely?"
How could Panqi have thought that someone who is not very eye-catching would appear like Mu Xuexing? Panqi said, "At that time, the shaft buckle fell down, and even the heaven was standing on our side. Who would have thought that the person named Mu Xuexing would carry the shaft buckle with him?"
Yes, from the situation, Fan Hong was dead at that time, but he returned to the city safely. Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "This Mu Xuexing is really a blessing to Fan Hong!"
"Fu General?" Pan Qi did not look down on Mu Xuexing so highly to Wei Yuan. "Uncle, is it still too early for Fu General to go to the Duke's Mansion to find out what the Duke and Jiang Sanlang have to discuss. Why did he come back before he even asked?"
Wei Yuan was also confused, "I don't know that when I heard that he was the bandit leader Mu Xuexing, he would get up immediately."
It is understandable that Wei Yuan was angry. After all, the Duke rarely left the city. This opportunity is indeed rare. What is the use of losing the opportunity? Pan Qi said, "Why should the uncle protect the hygiene for a small amount? It is not worth it for such a person to be so angry."
Mu Xuexing gave Wei Yuan an indescribable feeling. Wei Yuan said, "Little Guard? He is not the kind of guard you mentioned. If he wasn't careful, why would he bring a shaft to his body? Besides this, I didn't tell you one thing. Remember when Ming Yan celebrated my birthday?"
This was not what happened ten or eight years ago. Why didn’t Pan Qi remember it? But Wei Yuan suddenly mentioned this and Pan Qi was not sure. Pan Qi said, “Did the uncle bring it up because...?”
Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It was strange at first. Miss Mingyan was above the top and couldn't invite someone on weekdays. Why did she suddenly come and celebrate my birthday? When I gave gifts to Shuixie, I also asked someone to inquire about it, saying that someone was invited by Mingyan."
Wei Yuan said so in detail, what else does Pan Qi have to understand? "The uncle of the country thinks it was the one who Mu Xuexing went to invite?"
Wei Yuan said confidently, "It's not that I think it's certain. You don't know that Mu Xuexing went to see Ming Yan. Ming Yan never avoided seeing anyone. Tell me who has ever been so popular with Miss Ming Yan in Jiankang?"
Pan Qi nodded, "That's why Mu Xuexing is not simple. When Miss Mingyan is the guest of honor, she suddenly becomes the guard of the Duke again. This person cannot be underestimated."
Wei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Can this Mu Xueling be that expert?"
Pan Qi smiled and said, "No, how could such an expert go to the city defense army to serve? Anyone with great ability in the world must be very energetic, so how could he go to the city defense army to serve as a post?"
Wei Yuan was just speculating, and Pan Qi said this, "I tried my best to climb up, and I value fame, wealth and status so much, but did you see him at that time? He didn't take me seriously."
Pan Qi also saw Mu Xuexing's eyes at that time, and Pan Qi didn't care whether he saw it or not. Pan Qi smiled flatteringly and said, "What's so strange about the uncle? Whether it is the Duke's Mansion or the Duke's faction, we all have this look. Isn't there an old saying? Smartness is just mistaken. People who like to think about others every day will definitely not have a good ending."
Some people only see other people's shortcomings when they look at people's work, but they also have the same problem but turn a blind eye to them. When it comes to thinking about others, Pan Qihua's mind is no less than Mu Xuexing.
Wei Yuandao, "What Wu Wei said is that there are such people and Dukes, and we are not without them. There are many slaves in the world who have worked hard to do it."
After a while, Pan Qi took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle, I heard that Miss Ge has loved boating and traveling to the lake recently."
After hearing Pan Qi say this, Wei Yuan felt funny, "Wu Wei, you don't care about so many important things, what do you care about her, a little girl?"
Pan Qi pinched and smiled, "Little girl? How could Miss Ge be a little girl? If she became the crown princess?"
Wei Yuan sneered, "So what if you become the Crown Princess? What you have to worry about is that Ge Yuquan is not her."
"A spark can start a prairie fire." Pan Qi emphasized and said, "If the fire is too late, don't put out the fire. When the fire is too big, I'm afraid it won't work."
In Wei Yuan's opinion, Pan Qi made a big fuss, "How big can a girl's house cause?"
Pan Qi did not dare to neglect, "That's right, Miss Ge is indeed just a girl's house. A woman cannot cause much storm. Don't forget the uncle. There are many gentry behind her. The old guys behind her will definitely do things with her."
When Wei Yuan thought of the dependent nobles, he felt a chill behind his head. Wei Yuan asked with doubts, "Is Wu Wei worried about it?"
Pan Qi said, "Preventing problems before they happen. If the princess is really her, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. It is not good to let the prince choose a concubine by his own preferences. We'd better make the prince have no choice."
"No choice? Do you want to push Cao Jinxiang over?" Wei Yuan asked in a tone of consideration.
Pan Qi explained Li Jiao, "Uncle, what Ge Gong treats us, what we treat Ge Gong, there is no need to say about this. If the Ge family rides on our heads and turns over, Ge Gong will not ask for the grievances we have given in the past."
Wei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Miss Ge is the Crown Princess. Although it has not been announced to the world, many people know about this. If Miss Ge is really surprised, you say they will not doubt us?"
Pan Qi smiled deeply, "What's there to doubt us? Uncle, you forgot what I said before? Miss Ge has been loving boating and rafting on the lake recently. If this boat has been overturned or fallen into the water, it's an accident. What does it have to do with us?"
After hearing Pan Qi say this, Wei Yuan thought for a moment, and a smile gradually ejaculated on the corner of his lips, "What's wrong with us if it's an accident?"
Hou San took the gift box into the house and asked Guo Yun to see it. Guo Yun took a look at the gift box and asked, "Who sent it?"
Hou San pecked and said, "It's Miss Cao."
"Oh?" Guo Yun glanced at Hou San and said with a smile, "What is inside?"
Hou San said seriously, "This is a gift to the prince, how dare I check it privately?"
Seeing Hou Sanyi serious Guo Yun smiled faintly and said, "Open and take a look"
"Yes" Hou San opened the box.
The things inside are not so strange, they are just a sachet with two mandarin ducks embroidered on the sachet. Guo Yun picked up the sachet and looked carefully. "These daughters always think of pairing like mandarin ducks. Isn't it a joke if I wear such a sachet? But this embroiderer is also exquisite, please put it in there."
Hou Sanyi was stunned and said, "Let me go?"
Seeing Hou Sanyi stunned, Guo Yun laughed and said, "What? What's the problem?"
Hou San could not guess Guo Yun's thoughts. Anyway, there was no outsider here. Hou San simply asked, "Don't the prince hate Miss Cao very much?"
After saying that, Guo Yun laughed, "What's wrong with me hating her?"
What's so funny about such a thing? Guo Yun's mind is like that weather. Shi Qing and Shi Yu are really harder to see through than the girl's house. Hou San said, "Since I hate Miss Cao, shouldn't this sachet be sent back and left for what to do?"
Guo Yun naturally had his own plan, "Hou San, your heart is too cruel. According to my king's view, this sachet cannot be embroidered in just a few days. Miss Cao was so busy with this king that she didn't accept it for several days. Wouldn't it be unkind?"
"The prince said it"
Guo Yun put the sachet back into the box, closed the box and asked, "Have the gift giver gone yet?"
Hou San turned his head slightly and glanced outside the door and replied, "Not yet, it was sent by Miss Cao's personal maid Xueer. Xueer reminded him to ask if the prince likes this sachet."
Guo Yun took the box and placed it firmly on the rack. "Go down and reply, saying I lost it."
"Lost?" Hou San glanced at Guo Yun's box steadily.
Guo Yun finished speaking and Hou San had not yet left the house. Guo Yun was surprised to look at Hou San and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Don't reply yet."
Although Hou San didn't understand, he still stepped down.
When Xueer saw Hou San coming, she seemed nervous and asked, "Master Hou, does the Prince of Salon still like it?"
Hou San deliberately said "lost"
"Lost!" Xueer opened her eyes wide and looked at Hou San in disbelief. "Is the prince really lost?"
When Hou San saw that he didn't believe it, he asked, "What, do you still want to go in and confirm?"
"Xue'er dares not"
Hou San waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, go back."
"Yes, Xue'er takes his leave." Xue'er bowed and bowed and retreated.
Xue'er hurried back to Cao's mansion. Cao Jinxiang was sitting on the couch with her collar embroidered on the sable fur. Xue'er walked to Cao Jinxiang in a depressed mood. "Miss, what are you doing?"
Cao Jinxiang looked at Diao Qiu and smiled slightly, "Autumn went and winter came, but it was very cold last year. I made a sable fur for the prince in advance."
Xueer said, "Miss, stop doing it, the prince has nothing to do with cold clothes."
Cao Jinxiang said, "Whether to do it is different from whether to do it or not." Seeing Xueer feel depressed, she asked more, "What? The prince confiscated it?"
"Cover. I received it. But I lost it again."
Cao Jinxiang sighed, "Is that true?"
"Miss, don't you be angry?"
Cao Jinxiang smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
Mu Xuexing was not on duty today. He thought about going out for a walk, but he didn't see Zhang Guirong muttering in the house, "Where have people gone?"
There was no one in the house. Mu Xuexing came to the gate and asked the servant "Have you seen Guard Zhang?"
The servant said, "Guard Zhang, just went out"
"Go out?" Mu Xuexing seemed unlucky. Not many people Zhang Guirong knew in Jiankang would go anywhere. Seeing Zu Chongzhi go? Mu Xuexing thanked him and crossed the door and went out.
When I came to Zhuque Street, I saw that the gate of Zu Chongzhiyuan was closed. I said strangely, "Are you not at home?"
None of the people I wanted to look for were there. Mu Xuexing looked towards the Shuixie, thinking about it was nothing to see Mingyan. He would disturb him after going a little. When he was free, he walked along the bank of the Qinhuai River.
There was a boat in the river. Mu Xuexing looked from the shore and saw a woman sitting on the boat with her back facing him. From her back, she looked familiar. Bubbles appeared on the lake near the boat, and suddenly two heads appeared under the water. The woman on the boat seemed to be in a daze and did not notice that someone was approaching. She didn't see Mu Xuexing but saw it.
The man in the river approached the light boat and suddenly leaned forward, pulling the woman on the boat down the water.
