Chapter 702: Who Looks at the Moonlight, Lonely Heart, and Teases Liu Wei
Since the concubine will only arrive at the palace the day after tomorrow, Eunuch Xiang will indeed have a leisurely time these two days.
But what does this matter have to do with Eunuch Xiang, and what is the use of calling Eunuch Xiang here? Eunuch Hang thought about it over and over, but he didn't understand.
Liu Wei did not explain, but said casually: "Didn't Eunuch Xiang receive the order from the concubine? This time, let Eunuch Xiang be involved. I think it will be more convenient for the concubine to report to the concubine personally after she returns to the palace."
Eunuch Hang frowned, always feeling that this was not the reason, but seeing Master Liu insisting not to say anything, he had no choice but to give up and said, "Let it be whatever you say it is."
Liu Wei didn't speak anymore and looked directly outside the door.
After a while, I saw the dim light of a lantern a few feet away, slowly approaching here.
When they got close enough, they could vaguely see the four people walking over there. One was a young eunuch hired by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one was Xiang Yi, and the other two were two young eunuchs who were almost inseparable from Xiang Yi on weekdays. eunuch.
When Xiang Yi walked to the door, Eunuch Hang had already stood up to greet him.
Liu Wei did not move, but sat there, looking at the great eunuch in front of him with a calm gaze.
Xiang Yi easily caught Liu Wei's gaze, but with a smile on his face: "Master Liu!"
"Xiang father-in-law!"
This can be regarded as the two of them greeting each other.
Xiang Yi obviously knew what he was doing. Under the enthusiasm of Eunuch Hang, Xiang Yi sat next to Liu Wei, but kept talking to Eunuch Hang.
After hearing the whole story, Xiang Yi said, "So, if Mr. Liu's guess is correct, the murderer will be caught tonight?"
Eunuch Hang nodded: "Yes, Mengxiang Palace is full of Internal Affairs Office personnel. As long as the murderer dares to come, he will be doomed!"
Xiang Yi listened, nodded, and then said: "The idea of sacrificing a sacrifice is full of magic. The Zajia family did not expect that the emperor would agree to do it like this. It seems that the death of Princess Qinyang really made the emperor lose his normalcy." sex."
When Xiang Yi said this, he sighed.
Eunuch Hang coughed guiltily and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I'm waiting for a sudden visit and asking Eunuch Xiang to stay up late with us. It's hard work for Eunuch Xiang."
"As long as you can solve the case, it's not hard work if you don't sleep for a night or two."
Eunuch Hang nodded quickly and started talking to him again.
But Eunuch Hang and Eunuch Xiang were not very familiar with each other. They chatted for half an hour and then couldn't continue talking.
In the end, it was so embarrassing that Eunuch Hang had no choice but to drag Liu Wei into the water: "Mr. Liu, you must have never met the concubine. This is not nonsense. Although the concubine is already over eighty years old, she is really energetic. Very recently, during the Chinese New Year the year before last, the Za family was lucky enough to receive a red envelope from the empress. The red envelope contained some scattered banknotes and a couplet. It was not until a long time later that the Za family found out that the couplet was actually written by the empress herself. Speaking of which, the couplet is still used by the family. It’s posted on the wall of the study room, Master Liu will definitely have a look tomorrow.”
When Liu Wei heard that he was suddenly pulled in, he also saw that Eunuch Hang was a poor man, so he calmly accepted the words to help Eunuch Hang: "Couplet? What is the first couplet?"
Eunuch Hang was about to answer when he heard Eunuch Xiang suddenly say: "Speaking of couplets, Mr. Liu is a gentle man and must have a quick mind. There is a couplet here in the Za family. Can Mr. Liu correct it?"
Liu Wei looked at Xiang Yi and said, "Okay."
He said to the father-in-law: "Winter is over and spring is over. Thousands of flowers are blooming and the beautiful scenery is before our eyes."
This was a very common pairing, and Liu Wei was able to pick up the next sentence, but Liu Wei didn't pick it up. He just looked at Eunuch Xiang with a pair of slightly cold eyes.
Xiang Yi smiled at Liu Wei again and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong, sir? Is it too difficult?"
Liu Wei replied: "In the summer solstice and the beginning of autumn, the maple moon is misty, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful."
Xiang Yi nodded, but then said: "In the corridor under the moon, whoever looks at the shadow of the moon is so lonely that his heart is thirsty for love and affection."
Liu Wei's eyes sharpened instantly.
Xiang Yi smiled more and more wildly. He glanced over Liu Wei with his explicit eyes and raised the arc at the end of his eyes: "Master Liu?"
Liu Wei's eyes were dark, looking at Xiang Yi with anger.
Eunuch Hang did not study much, but he was not illiterate to be able to sit in this position. He wiped his sweat silently, looked at Xiang Yi, and then at Liu Wei, thinking to himself, although Mr. Liu is indeed handsome and handsome. Junya, but it is really too much for Eunuch Xiang to use this kind of teasing couplet to insult Master Liu.
Those who work as eunuchs will inevitably become mentally unstable as they age.
Eunuch Hang also had some unknown hobbies, but he didn't expect that Eunuch Xiang's hobbies turned out to be masculine.
Sometimes you are surrounded by beautiful scenery, sometimes thousands of flowers are carefree, sometimes you are lonely in the shadow of the moon, and sometimes you are thirsty for love and affection. After all, it is just teasing Mr. Liu, but if you say teasing, you are teasing. If they are interested in you, you can do it. Let's talk, but don't you see that Mr. Liu is about to get angry? It's like it's none of his business to laugh at the father-in-law.
Eunuch Hang had a headache and thought that if he had known it earlier, it would be better not to let Mr. Liu speak. It would be better for the three of them to just stay in such awkward silence.
But regret is useless.
Liu Wei didn't say the second pair, but Xiang Yi planned to say the third pair.
When Eunuch Hang heard this, was it okay? Sneeze now! He yawned and said, "It's so cold that it's bone-chilling. Someone, please bring two more stoves to light the fire."
The eunuch outside immediately came in to serve.
Eunuch Hang took the opportunity to turn the topic to the weather, and then pestered Xiang Yi and asked Xiang Yi whether the concubine was feeling unwell due to the cold weather in the temple on the outskirts of Beijing.
Xiang Yi seemed to know that enough was enough, and he didn't push Liu Wei anymore. He turned around and continued chatting with Eunuch Hang. He only chatted for a few words, but still glanced at Liu Wei. Every time Liu Wei raised his head, he could He saw Xiang Yi looking at him.
Liu Wei endured it again and again, taking a deep breath in her heart and desperately telling herself not to get angry. This might be this person's purpose.
This person obviously wanted to anger her. As long as she was angry and the two of them argued, Xiang Yi could leave on his own in the name of arguing.
Liu Wei specially called Xiang Yi, and it was Liu Wei who was sure that Xiang Yi must have played a certain role in this case.
But Liu Wei wasn't sure what it was, so when it came to catching the murderer, she had to keep this person under her nose.
If this person could do anything under his personal supervision, then Liu Wei would obey Xiang Yi.
Liu Wei adjusted for a while and felt that her mood had finally calmed down. Then Xiang Yi suddenly said, "Master Liu, someone said that your face..."
Liu Wei frowned and subconsciously touched his face.
Xiang Yi smiled: "Your face is even more beautiful than that of Nianmeng Pavilion's junior official."
Liu Wei clenched her fists and looked at this man, her eyes were so cold that there was no trace of warmth anymore.
