But now, the world is at peace, but the relationship between father and son is falling apart. They are constantly fighting openly and secretly, and they are constantly wary and wary. They no longer trust and rely on each other as before.
Xie Mengxia put aside his slightly sad thoughts and suddenly laughed: "Jiuchao, I heard that there is an Orchid Pavilion in Gaochang City that has wonderful singing and dancing. Let's go there together tonight to broaden our horizons."
"..." Han Changmu endured it again and again, gritted his teeth and nodded.
Before Xie Mengxia could take Han Changmu to have some fun, Ah Jiu came back to answer the payment.
Ah Jiu saluted, sorted out his thoughts, and said in an orderly manner: "As for the prince, in the past six months, no baggage convoys have entered the city, but my subordinates have discovered an abnormal situation."
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows and motioned for Ah Jiu to continue.
Ah Jiu continued: "In previous years, in Gaochang City, at this time of year, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the caravans would no longer continue their journey. Most of them would repair in the city for a few months, and then set off after the spring, and Aifang There were no large amounts of cash coming in or out, but in early October this year, Wanheng Cabinet suddenly had a large amount of cash entering the warehouse."
Han Changmu asked in surprise: "Is it true?"
Ah Jiu nodded: "There is no doubt that it was reported back by my subordinate's spy who worked as a handyman in Wanheng Cabinet. At that time, the tribes of Gaochang Kingdom came to present New Year's gifts to the king. The spy thought it was from which tribe saved it, so he He didn't pay attention. When the prince mentioned this matter today and his subordinates came over to inquire carefully, he remembered that the cash was deposited into the counter in batches. The amount each time was not large, and one after another he deposited nearly one. Until the beginning of October, I don’t know what happened, but I deposited three hundred thousand taels in one fell swoop.”
"Three hundred thousand taels?" Han Changmu's face suddenly darkened, and he frowned: "The first batch of people deposited into the cabinet in batches, how much did they deposit each time."
Ah Jiu hurriedly handed over a piece of paper, which recorded the amount and date of each deposit in detail. He remembered every transaction in detail: "Your Majesty, the spy managed to copy this down."
Han Changmu took a closer look and found that the sum of the sums was indeed the missing 800,000 taels of silver. He nodded solemnly: "Do you know who saved it?"
Ah Jiu shook his head: "I don't know. The rules of Wanheng Cabinet Shop are that the voucher is not anonymous. No matter who comes, as long as the voucher is taken and a certain amount of interest is paid, the money on the voucher can be cashed in. "
Han Changmu twisted the thin piece of paper and spoke slowly: "As long as you deposit it, someone will come to cash it. Instruct your people to keep an eye on the person who comes to cash it. Once someone comes to the counter to cash it with the voucher, don't alert the snake. Follow him first. Go up and see where these people are hiding.”
Ah Jiu should claim it is.
Han Changmu asked again: "Is the miracle doctor missing?"
Ah Jiu shook his head: "It is said that the miracle doctor has arrived in Gaochang. My subordinates have inquired in many ways, but they have not seen him show up."
"Go and find out where the miracle doctor has gone." Han Changmu also knew that there was no need to rush this matter, but how could he not be anxious about saving lives.
Xie Mengxia obviously knew why Han Changmu was so anxious to find a miracle doctor. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Jiuchao, the princess's illness will be cured. Don't be so worried."
Han Changmu nodded heavily.
With the news about the cabinet shop, Xie Mengxia was no longer interested in visiting an orchid restaurant. He simply asked Ah Jiu to buy another table of wine and food, and took Han Changmu to have a few drinks, and he felt relaxed.
Early the next morning, the warm sunshine came in, sweeping away the bitter cold for days.
Xie Mengxia opened the circular window, and the crisp air rushed into his face, which suddenly woke up his hungover head.
He turned around and saw Han Changmu still sleeping soundly, and smiled unconsciously.
He and Han Changmu had known each other since childhood, and their relationship was extraordinary. However, in front of others, he looked down on Han Changmu's rigidity and seriousness, and Han Changmu looked down on his dandyism and absurdity.
He knew Han Changmu, and he rarely had such a hangover.
Just as he was thinking about it, Han Changmu snorted, rubbed his throbbing forehead, and sat up. His eyes were a little blurred, and he looked at Xie Mengxia: "What's wrong with me?" He suddenly realized and pointed at Xie Mengxia. : "You're making me drink."
"Nonsense, you insist on drinking with me." Xie Mengxia's eyes were sly and he laughed.
Han Changmu kept rubbing his forehead. He had a headache secondarily. What he was most afraid of was talking nonsense after drinking too much. He looked at Xie Mengxia, this big mouth, to see if he would talk nonsense everywhere.
Xie Mengxia seemed to know what Han Changmu was thinking, and smiled: "Don't worry, you didn't say any nonsense, and I didn't hear any nonsense."
While he was talking, Ah Jiu brought in the sobering soup and morning food. After finishing the morning food, Han Changmu ordered him to prepare the bathing soup.
While giving Yao Yao's wound a medicinal bath, Xie Mengxia asked, "I've already soaked it twice. It's time for Yao to wake up."
Han Changmu had a complicated expression. He wanted Yao Yao to wake up early, but he was also afraid that she would wake up. He felt that he would not be able to help asking her about the tattoo. He was afraid of hearing the truth that he could not accept, and he was even more afraid of hearing that she had lied to him. .
But what is coming will always come, and you can’t avoid it by hiding.
He struggled for a while and nodded: "It's almost here. Look, the poisonous blood on this leg has almost dissipated. You can wake up as soon as tonight."
Xie Mengxia rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "It's great. Finally, I don't have to face a living dead person all day long."
After taking care of Yao Yao's injury and having lunch, Xie Mengxia finally couldn't sit still anymore and took Ajiu to accompany him to the Orchid Pavilion. They stayed there until dusk fell, and then came back shouting.
"Jiu Chao, Jiu Chao, you don't know that the Hu Ji here are all better than those in Chang'an City. They are really, really amazing." Xie Mengxia's eyes were shining, lifelike. Tuo is a hungry ghost in lust.
Han Changmu shook his head helplessly: "Your Highness, you have bought a lot of orchids, can you still put them in your palace?"
Xie Mengxia smiled nonchalantly: "If you can't let it go, I will expand the palace again. What a big deal."
"..."
At this moment, a low groan suddenly came from the kang.
Xie Mengxia immediately threw himself on the kang. When he saw the felt blanket moving, he smiled and asked softly, "A Yao, are you awake?"
Yao Yao slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in a daze, as if he was in another world. He didn't know where he was or what year it was.
She shouted in a daze: "Master." She paused for a moment, and then murmured: "Dad."
Xie Mengxia and Han Changmu looked at each other.
What does this say.
This girl must be stupid.
Xie Mengxia stretched out his hand, waved it in front of Yao Yao's eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "Hey, eh, A Yao, it's me, Xie Mengxia."
Yao Yao was stunned. The scenes she saw in her coma were like a movie, passing through her mind frame by frame. She saw her parents and master who had left her long ago, and saw herself who had been abandoned. During her childhood, she kept crying that she was good, but she still watched the tall figure go away.
There was a dull pain in her heart, and she shivered in pain. She came back to her senses and looked at the two people on the left and right.
Yes, she is still here, still in Dajing Dynasty, she has not gone back, and has not been abandoned.
Tears fell, and she choked with sobs: "It's so good that you didn't leave me alone."
Just these words made Han Changmu's heart soften. He couldn't ask any more questions and doubts. He quickly held Yao Yao's hand and said with a smile: "We came out together, so naturally we have to go back together."
Xie Mengxia nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Ah Yao, what are you thinking about? How could I leave you alone? Even if it means dragging you back to Chang'an City, I will drag you back."
Yao Yao cried and laughed, as if he was reborn: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"Yes, yes, what do you want to eat?" Xie Mengxia said with a loud smile.
Yao Yao smiled narrowly: "Is there a menu?"
"..." Xie Mengxia was stunned.
Yao Yao continued to laugh: "Let's speculate."
"..." Xie Mengxia finally burst into laughter: "Okay, I'll let them fry all the delicious food."
Xie Mengxia jumped out happily. Yao Yao sat up and looked at Han Changmu and said, "Master, where are we?"
Han Changmu hesitated for a moment: "In Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang Kingdom."
Yao Yao was slightly startled: "Have you found the whereabouts of the salary?"
Han Changmu nodded.
Yao Yao felt that something was wrong with Han Changmu's expression, and he seemed to be scratching his heart as he hesitated to speak.
Her eyes flickered, and her smile was still a little weak, but her expression was already very close: "Young master, just say it if you have anything to say. It's so uncomfortable to have twenty-five mice scratching your heart."
"..." Han Changmu raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "I don't have a hundred claws to scratch my heart."
"Really?" Yao Yao stretched out his hands, making the shape of an eagle's claws, and was about to catch Han Changmu.
Han Changmu laughed, and immediately fell on Yao Yao. Looking at the clear almond eyes, his own smile was reflected, and the gloom he had been feeling for the past few days was swept away.
An idea flashed in his mind, and he finally stepped out of the horns.
Any concealment and use, or approaching with ulterior motives are just his own random thoughts.
He sighed with relief and hugged Yao Yao tightly as if he had regained something.
He slowly lowered his head and lowered his lips slowly.
Yao Yao was frightened, looking at Han Changmu with a pair of almond eyes without blinking, and even stopped breathing.
After an unknown amount of time, Yao Yao's palms became sweaty. Han Changmu raised his head slightly and said with a faint smile, "Do you know why I have a hundred claws scratching my heart?"
Now Yao Yao's head is half water and half flour, and it has become a paste after being mixed up by Han Changmu.
She had no idea what Han Changmu was doing just now, nor did she hear clearly what Han Changmu said.
As if gibbering, she uttered one sentence: "You molested me."
With a "Puch" sound, Han Changmu burst into laughter, patted Yao Yao's face, and said with a wry smile: "A Yao, you are really my nemesis."
