Canglan Villa.
Qi Qian was saying hello to the old princess in the courtyard. He saw that the old lady's face was getting more and more rosy, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He said, "I wanted to ask my grandma how she is doing. But now that your face is getting more and more rosy, I feel relieved."
If at times like this in previous years, the old lady would not go out of the house, but would cuddle up with Mrs. Yu, how could she be as thinly dressed as she is now.
The old princess smiled and said: "Xiao Qin's medical skills are extraordinary. Grandma's old bones are pretty good, so don't worry."
Qi Qian nodded.
At that time, Ying Bei was outside reporting that Fire Wolf was back. He had something to report, so Qi Qian hurriedly asked people to come in.
Fire Wolf came in and bowed first.
"It's been a smooth journey, but will Master Buqiu be delivered safely?" Qi Qian asked.
Huolang cupped his hands and replied: "To tell you my master, it's been a smooth journey. The master has returned to the Taoist temple. By the way, the master also said thank you to the empress for the gift, and also asked his subordinates to bring back the gift for the empress to see."
He took out the small long box given by Qin Liuxi from his arms and handed it over. Aunt Zhao stepped forward to take it and opened it. She couldn't help but be surprised when she saw a wooden hairpin inside.
"My dear, look."
The old princess took it, took out the wooden hairpin inside, and said, "Is this a wooden hairpin?"
Huolang replied: "To return to the queen, the master said that this hairpin is called the flat peach blessing pattern hairpin. It is carved from lightning-struck wood. I wish the queen good fortune, all the best, and all evils will be free from invasion."
The old princess was delighted when she heard this. She took a closer look at the hairpin. Its handle was thin and slender. The middle of the handle was embossed with a flat peach, a peach leaf and a gourd, and the junction with the hairpin head was carved with a wishful pattern. , the hairpin head is slender, exquisitely carved and polished smoothly.
"She also has this skill, her carving is really good." The old princess loved to look through it with her hands, with a smile on her face.
Not to mention the carving, the meaning of this hairpin alone makes people very happy, not to mention that it is made by one's own hands, and lightning strikes wood to ward off evil spirits. This gift is really more valuable than many gold and silver jewelry.
"She is really thoughtful, but it seems that my etiquette is vulgar."
Qi Qian took the wooden hairpin from her hand and saw that it was indeed polished and carved from lightning-strike wood, but the carving skill?
He subconsciously pressed the talisman on his chest, feeling sour in his heart.
There is no harm without comparison. He originally thought that his talisman was fine enough, but compared with this hairpin, there was a huge difference.
This lucky hairpin is the best multiplier!
As for his piece, he probably just spent it casually?
When Qi Qian thought about this, he couldn't express what he felt in his heart, but he felt a little bad all over.
The old princess looked at him blankly, took the hairpin back, inserted it into her bun, and said: "I can't give you a woman's hairpin."
Qi Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Grandma was joking. I just think this hairpin is excellent."
The word "excellent" was squeezed out from between the teeth.
"Did anything else happen?" he asked Fire Wolf.
Fire Wolf picked up what he heard at the inn and said, "...That man really spent a hundred taels to buy a peace charm. I just don't know how he is doing now."
good?
The man who bought the Peace Talisman from Qin Liuxi that day was sitting on the ship's armor in shock, holding the ashes of the Peace Talisman in his hand, trembling all over as he looked at the corpses floating on the water on the boat.
In the early morning, if the peace talisman hadn't suddenly become hot and burned, waking him up from his sleep, he would probably have died under the knife and become a corpse on the water, right?
Who would have thought that if they took the waterway, they would encounter black boatmen seeking wealth and murder?
"Brother Niu, let's go." Another man came out of the cabin holding a bundle with a pale face.
Brother Niu raised his head blankly and said, "A few days ago, the guard said what was the name of the Taoist temple in Licheng?"
Qingpingguan?
Yes, he had to go to Qingping Temple to add sesame oil to the Patriarch. Oh my God, he almost died.
Huo Lang obviously didn't know the calamity of others. He also mentioned the death of Hu Zi's father in Qin Liuxi's family. As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Bei came to report. He had just received the news that Hu Zi's father was gone and he had to take leave to mourn. .
Fire wolf:"!"
Qi Qian asked Ying Bei: "When did it disappear?"
"It seems that it was yesterday evening that Hu Zi just entered the house and left after saying a few words. Master, don't worry, Hu Zi's father is also seventy-one."
Qi Qian nodded: "Ask him not to come back in a hurry. He will come back after something happens at home, and you can send him over for funeral rites."
"yes."
Huolang admired Qin Liuxi's ability more and more, and felt that the few peace charms hidden in his arms were valuable. From now on, their whole family would be believers of Qingping Temple.
The old princess and Aunt Zhao were also stunned when they heard this, and said: "Her medical skills are amazing. I didn't expect her physiognomy to be so accurate."
She thought about what Qin Liuxi had approved for her, so she asked the people around her to step aside and only talked to Qi Qian.
"Actually, she also made predictions for her grandmother, saying that if she goes north this year, her wishes will not be fulfilled."
Qi Qian was stunned for a moment: "What does grandma mean?"
"I mainly want to petition the Holy One to make you the Crown Prince. If that's the case, then..." The old princess frowned.
Qi Qian pursed his lips and said, "Grandma, don't worry. The man has ambitions in all directions. He is the prince of the royal family. If the Holy One has no intention of appointing me, then I will find another world on my own."
The old princess sighed: "You are the eldest son, you should inherit this. If your mother and concubine hadn't blocked it, I would have petitioned for it."
Qi Qian laughed at himself: "If I blocked him that day, I will block him again in the future. She prefers her second brother."
The old princess snorted and looked worried.
Seeing this, Qi Qian comforted him and said, "Grandma, please don't worry about this. Just let nature take its course. If you are not the heir, why can't I break in?"
The old princess sighed: "Let's see again, then let's go back to Beijing?"
Qi Qian said: "The Holy Father has sent me a letter and asked me to check on the Qin family. After the news about the Qin family is sorted out, my grandson will accompany his grandmother to Beijing."
The Qin family?
The old princess' thoughts moved and she asked: "Which Qin family is the Qin family? Why do I need you to check?"
"This is Qin Yuanshan, the former minister of Guanglu Temple. His hometown is in Licheng, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Prince Ning's Mansion. However, because of a big mistake during the sacrifice to the Taimiao in July, the Holy Emperor was furious and ransacked all the houses. All the men above twelve years old were exiled. , but the female relatives of the Qin family have been returned to their hometown. The Holy lord’s intention is either to see if the Qin family has colluded with anyone and despised the royal family, or he is worshiping the Meng family and wants to add insult to injury. "
Licheng, the Qin family, and Qin Liuxi also said that she was the daughter of a prison officer, and she was also in Licheng. Is it such a coincidence?
The old princess looked sideways at Qi Qian and said, "Do you know who the female relatives of the Qin family are?"
Qi Qian laughed: "Most of the female relatives are in the back house, so the grandchildren don't know about it, but this can all be checked."
The old princess brought the tea, took a sip, leaned on the big welcome pillow, and said, "Qin family, what a coincidence. Master Xiao Qin who just saved your grandmother is also named Qin!"
After Qi Qian heard this, he suddenly felt weird again.
"Grandma means..."
"Your Majesty, the Summer Palace Villa next door sent someone with a gift, saying that they wanted to kowtow to your Majesty on behalf of their young master." Aunt Zhao picked up the curtain and reported back.
The old princess was surprised, Summer Palace?
Qi Qian stood up: "Is it Yu Changkong who is here?"
