Chapter 130 Garden

Lin Fang may have failed to notify the people at Gongjun Bookstore and Jiushuge because of the emergency, which resulted in the shopkeeper and the clerks being captured by Yun Hao and his party.

Yun Hao handed the captured person to Hao Shi for interrogation, and he entered the palace and reported the matter to the emperor.

"Thorough investigation." The emperor looked sternly, "Anaya must also conduct a thorough investigation. Since that person came to Daliang in the name of a peace mission, his master must also be in the mission."

"Find them and arrest them together for interrogation. At the same time, it is necessary to find out whether they have any contact with places other than Daliang. They must be checked together and no omissions can be made."

Yun Hao took the order and immediately began to deploy.

Hao Shi did not obtain any useful information during the interrogation, which put the detailed work in Northern Xinjiang on hold for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the first day of August, Mrs. Hao’s 40th birthday.

This birthday banquet was different from the last banquet held by the Hao family. More people came. Even Zhao Kuang and his wife took the opportunity to come to the house to curry favor.

All of this was just Hao Shi taking over the post of commander-in-chief of the Western Camp.

There are four major battalions in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the capital, each with 30,000 men each, responsible for guarding the capital.

Befriending the Hao family would be of great benefit to Zhao Kuang's status and future. If Hao Shi could be allowed to side with Empress Zhao, maybe the emperor could allow Empress Zhao to give birth to his legitimate son.

Zhao Kuang and his wife brought Zhao Shuqing with them. Now of the three girls in the mansion, one is married, one is engaged, and only Zhao Shuqing is unmarried.

When Zhao Shuqing was led into the garden by the maid, Zhao Wangshu was turning over the flower rope with Yao Shanzhi.

It is a game played by children, but two girls who are about to have haircuts are having a great time playing it, with innocent faces on their faces.

"Sister Shu." Zhao Shuqing walked over and said, "Shuqing would like to say hello to the Lord of Yixing County."

Zhao Wangshu did not expect that she would come over to say hello. As far as she knew, this One year, Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Shuqing to many banquets and met many girls. Why did she still want to be with her?

Raising his eyebrows, he saw Yao Shanzhi opposite him and instantly understood that the drunkard’s intention was not to drink.

"No need to be polite, just sit down." Yao Shanzhi said in a calm and authentic tone.

Zhao Shuqing responded obediently, sat next to them, looked at them for a while, and then said: "The hands of the county master and Sister Shu are so skillful. They can come up with so many tricks. I am clumsy. , I can’t always turn it well.”

Yao Shanzhi didn’t say anything, Zhao Wangshu chuckled, “Children can do it, but you can’t. That’s not because your hands are clumsy, but because you don’t have long hands.”

　Zhao Shuqing's face turned red, and she looked at Yao Shanzhi again. Seeing that she still didn't speak, she only lowered her head and played with the colorful rope seriously, and she felt a little anxious.

It was rare for her to meet Yao Shanzhi at the banquet. If she missed today, she would not know when she would meet Yao Shanzhi again.

She saw a flower rope lying aside, so she quickly picked up the flower rope and pulled it randomly, and then pulled out an unsightly shape, "County Lord, What do you think of my weaving?"

Yao Shanzhi turned around and looked at it, and said lightly: "Butterfly turning flowers, that's not how I made it. You first wind the rope into a circle... …”

“County Master, can you teach me?” Zhao Shuqing approached Yao Shanzhi.

Zhao Wangshu smiled softly and let go of the flower rope, "Gardenia, teach her, I'll go to the clean room."

"Go back quickly. Yao Shanzhi said.

Zhao Wangshu took Hong Chang and Lu Zhi to the cleaning room. Zhao Shuqing hurriedly sat next to Yao Shan Zhi, handed the flower rope in his hand to Yao Shan Zhi, and looked at her expectantly. .

Yao Shanzhi did not pick up her flower rope, but picked up the flower rope that she had put down with Zhao Wangshu before, and taught Zhao Shuqing, "First wrap it like this, and then pull it over..."
< br /> Zhao Shuqing actually knows how to edit, but Yao Shanzhi just gave her some guidance, and she did a good job, "County Master, you are really ingenious."

Yao Shanzhi smiled lightly. "I'm not as smart as you to make it up so well so quickly."

"It's the county master who taught me well." Zhao Shuqing said with a smile.

"Don't beat around the bush, just say it if you have something to say." Yao Shanzhi could tell at a glance that Zhao Shuqing wanted something.

Zhao Shuqing hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, when will he return to Beijing?"

"Mr. Chen?" Yao Shanzhi frowned, "You said Is it Chen Xiao?"

Zhao Shuqing nodded, with a shy smile on his lips.

Yao Shanzhi looked at Zhao Shuqing and knew in her heart that this girl was probably in love with Chen Xiao.

But it’s no wonder that Chen Xiao is handsome, good at both civil and military affairs, plus he is considerate and sincere in his dealings with others. It is indeed easy to win the love of women.

However, there is a huge difference in status between the two, so even if they are in love, it is difficult for them to get married.

"Miss Zhao, Chen Xiao is the second son of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Although he has no title to inherit, he has been promoted to the fourth rank of military general." Yao Shanzhi reminded.

A commoner woman like Zhao Shuqing is not worthy of the prince of the Hou family. How can a crow be worthy of a phoenix?

"County Lord, I know"My identity is different from Mr. Chen's, but... I really like him, I..." Zhao Shuqing's eyes were red and her emotions were sincere.

"Since you know, you shouldn't have Such unrealistic thoughts. "Yao Shan Zhi's tone was indifferent.

"I know I'm not worthy of him, but County Lord, please help me. I will be grateful to you forever. "Zhao Shuqing begged and was about to kneel down.

"If you dare to kneel down, I will have you kicked out. "Yao Shanzhi said sternly.

Zhao Shuqing was frozen there, with her knees half bent, in a dilemma.

She didn't notice the other girls in this corner and looked over. Zhao Shuqing was there. Yao Shanzhi said "Go away." "After scolding, he covered his face with a fan and left sadly.

Yao Shanzhi turned over the flower rope alone for a while, and Zhao Wangshu came back.

"Zhao Shuqing What do I need from you? "Zhao Wangshu asked directly.

"Ask me when Chen Xiao will return to Beijing. "Yao Shanzhi told the truth.

Zhao Wangshu raised an eyebrow, "Chen Xiao has been away for more than a year, and she still hasn't given up. "

"If she and Chen Xiao are in love, I will consider helping her, but it's just wishful thinking, so forget it. " Yao Shanzhi said.

Zhao Wangshu hesitated for a moment, but did not tell the truth.

At this time, Xu Danyang accompanied Princess Anaya to the garden.

"General Hao killed so many people from northern Xinjiang. Why does she always feel a little malicious when she comes to wish Mrs. Hao a birthday? "Yao Shanzhi whispered.

"This is the Hao Mansion, she doesn't dare to mess around. ”

Indeed, Princess Anaya was chatting with the girls very friendly.

At the beginning of noon, the maid came over and told Xu Danyang that the girls could be invited to move in.< br />
Zhao Wangshu met Zhao Yuzhen in the banquet living room, who had come to the banquet with Mrs. Tianhebo.

Zhao Yuzhen looked very good, and it was visible to the naked eye that she had gained weight. Her life in Tianhe Bofu was quite nourishing.

Thinking of Zhao Yujia who committed suicide in despair, Zhao Wangshu sighed. In fact, if Wang Fu hadn't been too ridiculous, with Zhao Yujia's character, she would have married him. , and you can live a good life.

Turning his eyes, he saw the princess of Xiangzheng County, pulling Xu Danyang and talking about something. Xu Danyang’s shy look made Zhao Wangshu feel uneasy.

A girl next to him suddenly said, "The princess of the county has not yet given birth to her baby, so why did she come to the Hao family as a guest? "

"You are a girl, don't be so open-minded. "Another girl complainedtypical.
