Chapter 143: One extra

Xizhou, the bitter cold of the victory, the wind and sand, the sun is strong, the cold and the bones are cold in the morning and evening, but at noon it is so hot that people want to lick their clothes.
A few years ago, the people of Xizhou still couldn't eat, and the clothes were not cold. Since the establishment of the new dynasty, after the emperor became enthroned, their days have gradually improved, and at least they can eat enough. The local officials are also honest and honest. It is said that they were all caught in the capital and beheaded.
In the hearts of ordinary people, even if some people say that the Emperor’s Majesty is three-headed and six-armed, they will know it ignorantly.
In the four years of Cheng'an, it is said that the capital city has to choose some women to enter the palace as female officers. The quota is very limited and the requirements are strict. When the news reached Xizhou, it was already many days late, but even so, many people moved their minds.
That is the palace, if it can be selected, it is the matter of Guangzong Yaozu.
Ordinary ordinary people, even the opportunity to know the news is not, they only see some of the outsiders or the girl of the show, often go to the county magistrate.
In the Zhizhou Prefecture of Xizhou, a few women who know the roots of Xie Qilin’s circle, the innocent daughter of the family, said to the next person:
Put it down this list.

"Adult, Miss Zhang Jia knows the book, and is a smart temper. Why don't she choose her?" The next person took advantage of Zhang's foreign family, and it is inevitable to ask for two sentences.
"In the harem... I don't need a gentleman who knows the book and is alert," Xie Qilin said faintly. "You go on."
"Yes." The next person saw that his face was not very good, did not dare to ask again, holding the list honestly quit.
After the list was posted, the selected girls were both happy and happy. They were happy that they finally had the opportunity to go to Beijing. They even went to the palace to be in a bad situation. The worry is that the capital is high and the road is far away. I don’t know what the future will be.
The list is surrounded by lively people. Some people say that this girl looks ordinary, why can she be selected? That said again, the girl is so arrogant, how to match the maid and the maiden?
Shi Feixian stood in the corner, listening to the people's conjecture and yearning for the harem, with a slightly ironic smile on his face. These people think that when they enter the palace as a palace girl, they will be able to fly and thrive. Is the whole family glorious?
Is there still a small number of palace ladies who died silently in the harem?
"What are you looking at?" A woman wearing the same dress as her came out and whispered in her ear. "You must never sneak into your mind. You used to be like you." The woman who came to escape, and was finally found outside, there was no good meat all over the body, and all the wolves were eaten."
Shi Feixian smiled bitterly: "You can rest assured, I will not have this kind of mind."
"Looking at you is also a wise man, and you must not be stupid," the woman nodded. "Oh, it’s a pity that the new emperor has not enthroned the world, or he can be excused from crimes like you."
Hearing this, the smile on Shi Feixian's face was even bitter. She turned her eyes away and turned to see the man wearing a robe in the distance and riding a horse.
"Go, we should go back." The woman took her and was about to drag her to a dirty and broken car. The two men were dressed in shackles and had thick old hands. Half-squinting eyes seem to have never been completely opened.
Shi Feixian earned the woman's hand and looked at the man in front of him incredulously. How could he be here?
Xie Qilin... How could it be here?
"Shi Xiao Niangzi, don't go to the expensive person, just follow me." The woman saw Shi Feixian staring at Xie Qilin, thinking that she was a little bit tempted, trying to seduce the adults of the state, and persuaded, "We are They are all sinful people. These high-ranking people are not what we can climb."
"Big sister, you let me go," Shi Feixian anxiously pushed the woman away and rushed forward a few steps. "Xie Qilin, Xie Qilin."
In the past five years, she has been bitter for five years in Xizhou. The original delicate and smooth skin has been roughened by the sand. The skin color is also like the locals. It is dark and dry. It is obvious that she is only in her early 20s, but it is like thirty. Old woman.
When Rong Rong’s news came, she was happy because she could have an amnesty.
However, her expectations soon became empty, and Rong Rong did not forgive anyone at all. He only reduced the taxation of the victims. As a bitter cold, Xizhou was also exempted from the tax for one year after the seal.
After the news came, the people of the whole Xizhou were very happy. Everyone read the Queen Empress, and I wished to build a long monument for her.
Shi Feixian thought that she couldn’t keep going for a day, but she didn’t think that her life was so strong, she was bullied, she was ridiculed, she was crowded, and she spent five years in this barren land. She thought she would continue to squat. When Xie Qilin appeared, it was like a straw after her drowning.
He is an official who won the war and will be able to eliminate her crimes and will be able to save her.
The horrified eyes of the people and the vigilant gestures of the guards could not stop the excitement of Shi Feixian. She felt that she had never run so fast, and she had never been nervous.
However, just as she was about to approach, two servants with knives stopped her.
"This nephew, may I ask you what is wrong, you can tell us first, we will convey it for you."
"Scorpion?" Shi Feixian looked like a slam dunk like a lightning strike. This servant has a round face. It looks like he is only seventeen or eight years old. She touches her face. She is the age of being called a child. ?
She looked up and saw that Xie Qilin had gone further and further and had to rush: "I am the old knowledge of your adults. Please ask the two grandfathers to let me meet with Xie Daren."
"Old knowledge?" Xiaoxun looked at Shi Feixian suspected. This woman is wearing a coarse cloth dress, like a sinner who is serving hard labor. How can such a person be old-fashioned with their family?
Seeing that the servant did not believe her, Shi Feixian said anxiously: "I am really an old man of your family. I don't believe you to ask him. Do you know Shi Feixian?"
The name of the aristocratic woman generally does not tell the man who is low-lying, but now she has already fallen so far, how can she care about the name?
Seeing the appearance of Shi Feixian so convinced, the servant nodded and said: "You are waiting here, let me ask."
"Thank you, thank you." Shi Feixian repeatedly thanked her, she wiped the tears on her face, and the rough palm hurt her eyes.
Xie Qilin plans to go to the suburbs to see the growth of this year's crops. He listens to himself and he stops the horse. He looks down at the servant standing in front of him. "What?"
"Adult, a woman claims to be your old knowledge, I hope to see you."
"Old knowledge?" Xie Qilin frowned, and after forgetting his eyes, he saw the gray-clothed woman who was stopped by the servant. He didn't remember that he knew such a person and shook his head. "I don't know in Western China." The old man."
The servant was ready to retire, but thought of the woman’s pleading eyes, could not help but say more: "She said that she is called Shi Feixian, you must know her."
Shi Feixian? !
This name, buried deep in memory, has not appeared for a long time, was said by a 17-year-old servant at this time, so that Xie Qilin had a sense of absurdity. He looked back at the woman, silent for a moment: "Take her over."
The gray-clothed woman gradually approached, and Xie Qilin looked at her vicissitudes of life, silent for a long time: "Stone girl."
Shi Feixian looked at Xie Qilin, who was sitting on the horse's back. Some of them cramped the gray cloth skirt. The clothes on her body were allotted in uniform. Standing in front of Xie Qilin in the official gown, I suddenly felt very embarrassed.
"I have seen Xie Daren." She blessed her body. Although she did not pay attention to these rituals for many years, the elegance engraved into her bones was not so easy to wash away.
The servant of the message was surprised to see the two people. It turned out to be old knowledge. This woman did not know what her identity was. The manner of salute was different from that of other women.
"Is the stone girl good for these years?" Xie Qilin did not think that the aristocratic lady who had stepped out of her foot in the past turned out to be like this. He looked at the people around him. "This is not a place to talk. Please ask the stone girl to go to the tea house."
Shi Feixian nodded silently.
The two entered the tea house, and Xie Qilin chose a window.
Shi Feixian suddenly thought that she also liked to sit in the position of the window. Every time Xie Qilin and her poems were discussed, they also picked up the beautiful scenery and the spacious private rooms, waiting for her arrival.
Soon almost went to the table, Xie Qilin poured a cup of tea for Shi Feixian, "Western State does not have good tea, I hope the stone girl does not care."
"I am grateful to have a clean water now, and how can I pick the tea." Shi Feixian reached for the tea, and a pair of rough hands were exposed to Xie Qilin.
He looked away and turned to look out the window, in the distance is the long loess wall, and the wind and sand.
"I didn't think... you will be here." Shi Feixian noticed that Xie Qilin had some cold attitude and criticized him. "I have a brother and sister?" She heard that the former prince's zen was given to Rong Rong. Next, Rong Rong can never kill the prince, her sister is the wife of the prince, even if she loses her freedom, the days will be better than her.
Xie Qilin turned to look at her, and after a long while: "The stone man is very good. Now he has taken the post of Taichangsiqing. Although it is not famous, it is quite awe."
"That... did he get married?"
Xie Qilin shook his head: "Sorry, I have not heard the news of Shi Daren's marriage."
"Yes, is it?" Shi Feixian was a little confused. She took a cup of tea and licked some dry lips. "What about my sister?"
Xie Qilin silent for a moment, turned his head and did not look at Shi Feixian's look: "Let the sister send people to assassinate the queen, and the prince and the prince were angry and were abandoned by the prince. After the stone man pleaded, the queen spared her life, but the sister ordered When the brother returned, he committed suicide and died."
"Suicide..." Shi Feixian lingered for a long time, wiped away the tears on his face. "She is more courageous than me."
She suddenly didn't want to ask her to come back to save her. Now, even if she can eliminate the crime, can she still write off the old grievances of those people in Beijing?
Can those people in the capital city forget that she has had a gap with the Queen of the Dynasties? Even if Banyu doesn't care about this, those who are eager to please the class will not be able to jump out and betray her. Pingbai is involved in his brother, adding trouble to his career.
She has been in the capital for so many years, how can she not understand the minds of those in Beijing. Because even her own, such a person, has done such a thing.
"I was sorry for you in the past," holding the teacup tightly, which made her more emboldened. "There were too many people who didn't want to let you squat in the same year. I followed the push and helped your family, I am sorry."
Xie Qilin closed his eyes and concealed his emotions: "Quiet me, vain and smug, if..."
If he is as determined as Rong Rong, no matter what others say, he can maintain a firm attitude. His marriage contract with Banyu will not end in such awkward manner.
He thought he was high, and he thought he was a classmate, but because of his uneasiness and inferiority in his heart, he was afraid that he could not catch the class, fearing that he could not match her, so he could not wait to show his self-esteem, and he wanted to let the world Everyone knows that it is not that he is not able to catch up with Ban Xiangjun, but that he cannot marry her and does not want to marry her.
He likes a talented, gentle and watery woman, all of which are not available to the class.
After a long time, even he himself almost believed that he only liked the talented woman, refused to think about the goodness of the class, and refused to accept that when he was with the class, there was no place to put the heart, and always did not know how Put your hands together.
At that time, he was too young. I don't know if this is a heart. I don't know if this is the shame of someone who likes it.
When he finally understood it, everything was late.
"When I came to Xizhou, I didn't change the clothes on my body, I didn't ask for the silver of the servant, or even a dry grain." Shi Feixian drank some bitter tea. "Everyone avoids me like a snake, only one person sends hands." I sent a parcel and said that the past grievances were written off."
"Although she didn't say who she was, but the words and deeds of the guards still made me think of a person." Shi Feixian laughed and said, "It is Ban."
Xie Qilin did not consciously look at Shi Feixian, and wanted to hear more about the class from her mouth.
Paying attention to his look, Shi Feixian smiled bitterly: "You don't have to look at me like this. I didn't look good with her since I was a child. Ten years ago, I even arranged for the little palace girl to lead her to the frozen lotus pond and want her. Die under the ice."
Xie Qilin's face changed slightly. At that time, how old was Shi Feixian, ten years old? Eleven years old?
"Why, I didn't think that I was such a woman?" Shi Feixian chuckled, she no longer had to maintain her gentle illusion, but she felt very happy. If the class died at that time, there would not be so many things in the back. Get it out?
"Obviously everything has been planned, but suddenly there is a tolerance," Shi Feixian laughed at himself. "Let me arrange the people, I can't start again. You said that this is a fate, and the customary tolerance has always been When I left the palace banquet, I just met the classmate?"

Why?
Xie Qilin looked at Shi Feixian.
At that time, she was less than ten years old. Why do you hate her so much?

"Do you really believe it?" Shi Feixian smiled. "It seems that I am in your heart, it is such a woman."
Xie Qilin has no words.
"I tell you the truth, it is not me who wants to kill the class, but the mother of Lin," Shi Feixian sneered, "Lin's hate for the Dean Princess, and even hate it with the class." I just accidentally discovered this truth."
Lin hated the class family, but her son married the granddaughter of the Grand Princess, and regarded it as a treasure, I don’t know if Lin’s Jiuquan would be angry.
Xie Qilin did not expect that there would be such a crisis of life and death in the same year. If Rong Rong did not appear at that time, Ban Yu... would it have already died in the cold water?
"Stone girl..." He had some dry throat. "I will return to Beijing for the next month. Do you have any letters that I need to bring back?"
"Letter..." Shi Feixian was silent for a long while, and slowly shook his head. "The stone family has already been destroyed. It is not easy for my brother to be in Beijing. Let him think that I am dead, so it is good for him."
After the table was quiet, after a long time, Xie Qilin nodded: "I know."
"Thank you for your adult reception, I should go back." Shi Feixian stood up and bowed to Xie Qilin, "Farewell."
"Stone girl," Xie Qilin called Shi Feixian. "Is it because you arranged it, close to me?"
Shi Feixian stepped in the footsteps. "She is not my person, but I have arranged to guide you so that you can only show your integrity when you run away with your mother."
In the past, the elegant time of talking about poetry and arguments, tearing away the elegance of the outside, the inner is full of calculations, and it is embarrassing to let Xie Qilin once again realize how stupid he is.
"Do you have any problems with Xie Daren?"
Xie Qilin shook his head: "Slow down."
On the night of the same day, Shi Feixian received a paper order, saying that she had performed very well in the past two years, and gave her a relaxed job.
With the eyes envied by everyone around, Shi Feixian packed up the baggage and went to the city for a bad time.
She did not tell Xie Qilin that when she knew Lin's plot, she also helped Lin to lead a few palace ladies, because she also wanted to die. However, this is no longer important, because she is living hard now, and the woman she hated has become a mother of all nations.
In the past, grievances and hatreds were all a joke.
She is the worst play in this joke, thinking that she can win a full house, and the result of the guest is already out of her.
From Xizhou to Beijing, half of the dry road and half of the waterway took nearly two months. Xie Qilin returned to the place where he left for three years.
The city gate is still the city gate. The guards guarding the city gate did not know that they had changed a few calls. When Xie Qilin handed the paperwork and the waist card to the guards, he found that many people were happy and asked: "I don’t know what happened in the capital. what's up?"
"It’s not surprising that adults return to Beijing from overseas. I don’t know if there is a happy event in the capital." The guards returned the instrument and the waist card to Xie Qilin, and he handed him a hand. "In the past few days, the Queen’s wife gave birth to Lin Er, and she was very happy. I personally hung a bow on the wall of the Great Moon Palace. It’s strange to say that we haven’t rained in the capital for half a month. The day when the Royal Highness was born, it’s a little rain, you said Is this God's gift to us?"
Xie Qilin’s hand with the instrument shivered slightly.
Is it... was the dragon born?

"It is exactly," the guard said with a smile. "You are also a good luck for the adults. Just after returning to Beijing, you will encounter such a big happy event. Maybe you will be prosperous and prosperous from now on."
"Yeah," Xie Qilin nodded. "Take your brother's good words."
The guards did not dare to say.
Xie Qilin put down the carriage curtain and said to the driver who drove the car: "Go."
The carriage slowly entered Beijing. This place where he lived for 20 years seems to be more lively than before and is stranger than ever. The people here are dressed better than the people of Xizhou, eating more than the people of Xizhou, and even the skin is more white than the weather-stricken people of Xizhou. Perhaps he has been a parent for three years in Xizhou. He feels that the people of Xizhou are more lovely even if they don't have the Beijing people.
After bathing and changing clothes at the residence of the office officials in the capital, he went to the palace to see his majesty.
In accordance with the rules of the big win, Zhizhou returned to Beijing every three years to deport, and then waited for the order of his Majesty to decide whether he would continue to return to his place of office or to raise and lower positions.
From the Suzaku Gate into the palace, he waited for about half a minute outside the royal study room. Finally, an wearing a dark blue robe led him in.
When he walked into the door, Xie Qilin did not dare to sit on the head of the Xuanyi man. He took up the robe and made a big ceremony: "Wei Xie Qilin has seen her majesty, and she has lived long lived."
"Get up."
This voice is still familiar, just a little more majestic than three years ago.
He stood up and looked at his eyes, still so beautiful and noble, only the momentum of the whole body was stronger than before, more like an emperor, not an elegant nobleman.
"You haven't seen it for a few years. You have calmed down a lot more than before," Rong Rong put down his pen and said to Xie Qi. "The singularity from Xizhou has been seen. You have done a good job."
"Xie Xia praised, Wei Chen did not dare to act." Xie Qilin did not expect Rong Rong's attitude to be so calm.
"It’s good to do well," Rong Rong said with his hand behind him. "You don't need to be self-effacing. You can talk about the situation in Xizhou, you have to say good or bad."
"Yes." Xie Qilin arched his hand and began to talk about what he saw and heard in Xizhou.
After about half an hour, he saw an hurried in and said something in his ear. The voice of the other party is very small, and he only hears the goddess, soup and the like.
Then he saw his distressed expression under his arm, and he felt that he should not look again at this time. Xie Qilin hurriedly lowered his head.
"Xie Daren, you go back to rest first, and then call you again after a few days," Rong Rong raised his hand and said, "Retreat."
"Yes." Xie Qilin took the lead and retired. He had just walked out of the house. When he turned back, he saw his majesty rushing out of the royal study and went in the direction of the harem.
Is it something that happened in the harem? He frowned.
"Thank you."
Xie Qilin looked up and opposed Si Jin.
"The lower official has seen the stone man."

Xie is very polite,
Shi Jin stopped.
Xie Daren just returned to Beijing?

"Yeah, after a few days, I will leave." Xie Qilin saw Shi Jin’s words and stopped. "I don't know what the stone man is doing?"
"I don't know... Xie Daren once saw her sister in Xizhou?"
"No, I have never seen it." Xie Qilin's voice was calm.
"If Xie Daren sees her sister, please thank the great man for repairing a book and telling him that he is grateful to him." Shi Jin was deeply impressed by Xie Qilin.
Xie Qilin pushed a half step and avoided this ceremony: "I don't want to be polite, I will tell you if I meet."
"Then there will be labor." Shi Jin looked at Xie Qilin, and Xie Qilin smiled and looked back at him.
"Farewell." Xie Qilin said.
"Farewell."
Shi Jin and Xie Qilin passed by, and he did not see him back, and Xie Qilin had some darkness in his eyes.
As long as he thought of the little girl that year, he might have been buried in ice water, and he would not want to speak again.
He saved Shi Feixian from hard work, but never thought about letting her return to Beijing to be a comfortable lady.
Since he is a negative person, it is better to do a few more negative things.
This is enough.
