Chapter 263 The smell of sweat
That was the first day Mei Shengxue kidnapped Langyue.
That morning, Li Sinan saw a Taoist in Qing Dynasty on Shuyuan Street.
That morning, Xinwu, who rarely went out, followed Mrs. Jiang to buy vegetables.
"You said you saw Brother Bao eating sesame candy from Daoxiangyuan?" Chen Tong looked at Fangfei.
"Yes, that's right. Only Daoxiangyuan has such a large piece of sesame candy." Fangfei swallowed, "Aunt Lei really loves his grandson."
Yes, what Bao Geer ate today was also the candy from Daoxiangyuan.
Chen Tong grinned and wanted to smile, but she couldn't.
She said to Fangfei: "You and your younger sister go to the shop. The mosquito coils at home are gone, so you can bring some back."
"Miss, don't you go?" Fangfei asked.
"I'll go out for a walk." Chen Tong said.
Fangfei didn't care. Originally, the lady didn't take her with her everywhere.
Seeing Fangfei and Xiaomei gradually moving away, Chen Tong didn't know where to go.
......
Xiao Ren has not returned to the border yet. He and Jiang Shuangliu are training troops in Xianyang these days. The King of Qin attaches great importance to this training and has also visited Xianyang in person.
Jiang Shuangliu hasn't been home for many days. Today, Jiang Xiujie accompanied Mrs. Jiang to the barracks to see him. Taking advantage of Mrs. Jiang's reprimanding Jiang Shuangliu, Jiang Xiujie pulled Xiao Ren to a place where no one was, and quietly said to him: "What happened to that fake old Taoist Yiqing."
Xiao Ren's only kind of affection for the Taoist Yiqing was defeated when the Taoist Yiqing encouraged the King of Qin to ask Chen Tong to go to Yulin. He didn't like Taoist Yiqing, and Jiang Xiujie and the others did not like it either. Yes, they didn't like the Taoist Yiqing at first, but they just disliked it even more now.
"What happened to him? Is he dead? How did he die?" Xiao Ren asked.
Jiang Xiujie suddenly felt that the little thing that happened to Taoist Yiqing was no longer a matter of fact.
"It's nothing big. It's just that his apprentice hasn't shown up for several days. Taoist Yiqing was originally hiding it, but it was told by the other courtyard's door. He said that he saw the little apprentice get into a sedan chair that day, and never came back. Taoist Yiqing looked for people everywhere. Guess what, he even found the official post where the girl lived, and it almost made a big deal. It was Liang Fucheng who went over to deal with it. Yesterday, Yueyang met Liang Fucheng's subordinates at the gambling table. Yueyang heard that he was Liang Fucheng's subordinate, so he didn't want to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, the boy was determined to curry favor with Yueyang. When he learned that Yueyang saw that Yiqing Taoist was disliked, he told the story that day, saying that Yiqing Taoist's apprentice was lost and sent people to search everywhere. Even the official post outside the city also found the show's show girl, but the eunuchs refused to let go, and Liang Fucheng personally brought the money to take those people away."
Liang Fucheng was the guard of Donglin. He was able to take this position because he was the way of a Qing Taoist. The official post where something happened was in Donglin.
Xiao Ren frowned: "Yiqing Taoist sent someone to the official office where Xiu Nu lived to find someone? What did he think? Do you suspect that Lang Yue was going to enter the palace to be a eunuch?"
Puff, Jiang Xiujie burst into laughter, and the Qi Shao's mouth was getting more and more poisonous.
"Who knows what the fake Taoist priest thought? Logically speaking, if his apprentice is lost, what he should do most is to report to the official. If he does not report to the official, he will tell the prince and ask the guards to help find it. But no one said that, just let his people go to find it quietly. In my opinion, his apprentice was probably kidnapped. He was worried that he would be torn to vote, so he did not dare to make a name for himself." Jiang Xiujie said this and smiled maliciously.
Xiao Ren nodded and said to Jiang Xiujie: "You should accompany your father here, I will go back to Xi'an."
"Return to Xi'an? You might as well want to help him find an apprentice?" Jiang Xiujie asked.
Xiao Ren glared at him: "He is not my son, why should I help him find someone?"
Xiao Ren rode back to Xi'an without even saying goodbye to Jiang Shuangliu in person.
When I arrived in Xi'an, Xiao Ren originally wanted to go to Shuyuan Street to find Chen Tong immediately, but after thinking about it, he decided to go home to take a shower and change into clean clothes. The road was dusty and the weather was hot, so there must be a smell of sweat on his body.
But before he could walk into Qingshui Lane, he saw a familiar figure from afar.
Chen Tong!
She stood under an old locust tree opposite Qingshui Lane, not as if she was about to walk into the alley. She lowered her head and looked at the marble built on the curb, as if she was thinking about her thoughts.
Xiao Ren came back alone, without bringing his personal guards or Xiaolizi.
He got off the horse, threw the reins, pointed to the alley, and signaled Zhuifeng to go home by himself.
Chasing the wind and moving through human nature, he ran happily into the alley.
Perhaps hearing the sound of horse hooves stepping on the stone road, Chen Tong raised her head and saw Zhuifeng running into the alley alone. She subconsciously looked in the direction where Zhuifeng came.
She saw a pair of eyes.
"Xiao Ren!" Chen Tong was both surprised and happy. After she and Fangfei separated, she wanted to walk alone, but somehow she came here as she walked.
She knew from Dabing that Xiao Ren was not in Xi'an, so she didn't knock on the door. Since she was here, let's stand here for a while before leaving.
Unexpectedly, she actually met Xiao Ren, and Xiao Ren came back at this time.
"Aren't you in Xianyang? Why are you back?" Chen Tong asked with a smile.
Xiao Ren looked at Chen Tong. Her hair was still very short, barely combed into a double spiral bun. Although it was not thick, it was very dark, which made her skin whiter. She seemed to be unable to tan. Whenever she saw her, her face was white and red.
"You kidnapped Langyue, right?" No one around, Xiao Ren simply made a point.
"Me?" Chen Tong blinked, then blinked. The answer to this question was very complicated. What should she say?
Xiao Ren smiled and whispered: "Let's go, go to my house."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and walked very quickly. Chen Tong laughed and had to follow him.
When Xiao Ren saw Chen Tong following him, he walked faster. He smelled sweat on his body, and he could smell it himself. He didn't want her to smell it, she would dislike him.
Chen Tong didn't know what happened to this child? Is this a way to entertain guests? He invited others to sit at home, but the host walked in front of him very quickly?
When Chen Tong arrived at the door, he saw that the door was open. It turned out that Zhuifeng had already hit the door with his head and went in. When the doorman came out to answer the door, he saw that Zhuifeng was Zhuifeng, so he guessed that Xiao Ren had come back and had already waited for the open door.
Chen Tong asked Xiao Ren curiously: "Does Zhuifeng often come back by himself?"
"Yes," Xiao Ren stepped into the threshold and shouted loudly to accompany Chen Tong to the study room, while he ran to take a shower.
Chen Tong was so envious. It would be great if Huo'er was as obedient as Zhuifeng.
Chen Tong was led into the study by the servant. She had been to Xiao Ren's house, but it was the first time she walked into Xiao Ren's study. She was a little curious and didn't know what Xiao Ren's study looked like.
So she suddenly saw the blue and white porcelain jar placed on the Zhenbao Pavilion. This porcelain jar is so familiar.
