Legend of Monsters: The Prince Saw a Ghost Alive

Chapter 252 Why are you here?

Qingchi said again: "Should I share some of it with the poor one and give it to your lord? The poor one can't always take his credit with a clear conscience."

Beicheng Road: "Keep it, the Taoist priest, even if you want to give it, the prince will not accept it."

Qing Chi nodded: "That's true."

Later she leaned against the bed and stared out of the window with her chin propped up without saying a word.On both sides of the long street outside the window, there are red and red lanterns hanging.The glistening red light was reflected in her eyes, and it seemed to become very dim in an instant.

Occasionally there are cars coming and going on the road, but there are not many pedestrians, most of them are walking back like her.

That night, when Qing Chi returned, he went straight back to the Jade Garden to rest, and did not meet Bei Jiuyuan face to face.For the next few days, she didn't even meet Bei Jiuyuan in the breakfast room.

When Bei Jiuyuan asked, Liu Xu replied docilely beside him: "Master Qingchi went out before dawn."

Up and down the palace, subtly changed Qingchi's name.This is what she asked for.

Qingchi received invitations every day and received soft hands. From the first three games a day, it became four or five games a day, and he was so busy that he couldn't see him.Sometimes he couldn't take care of eating, and at very late, Qing Chi and Bei Cheng went to a small restaurant that was about to close to eat a bowl of noodles.

It is usually a Qingchi treat.Beicheng just eats.

Qing Chi also apologized and said: "Recently, Pindao has really troubled you, making you run around with Pindao when the Chinese New Year is approaching, and you can't even eat well."

Beicheng Road: "Don't feel guilty, the Taoist priest, I follow the Taoist priest, it was all arranged by the prince."

Qingchi pondered: "Why don't you ask the prince to change the poor man's groom tomorrow? It's also good for you to rest."

"It is my duty to protect the priest."

Qing Chi didn't say anything more.Beilou will always report her daily itinerary to Bei Jiuyuan after she returns.No matter how late it was, the lights in Beijiuyuan's room were always on.He was wearing a shirt, with black hair covering his shoulders, listening quietly, with a calm expression.

After that, Bei Jiuyuan waved his hand lightly and said, "You should go back and rest too."

Beicheng knew that there must be a problem between him and Qingchi, but he didn't ask too much.Just silently doing what you should do.

There are a total of six families in Qingchi who want to leave this day.Counting carefully, she has different business every day these days, and she has basically visited most of the officials' homes in the court.He also became acquainted with the circle in Beijing.

Unexpectedly, Bei Jiuyuan also got up early in the morning, and just blocked Qingchi at the gate of the mansion.Bei Jiuyuan looked at her and asked in a low voice, "How many places are there today?"

Qingchi said: "Six places."

Bei Jiuyuan frowned and said, "So many? Don't you know how to refuse?"

Qing Chi looked at him unclearly: "Pindao has never done so much business in a row, why did he refuse? I think the master left him alone at the beginning, didn't he just want to let him practice more?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, let's rest at home."

Qing Chi said: "Don't worry, today is the last day. There are two more days until New Year's Eve, and the poor are almost finished. Only the Qi Wang's house and the Zhan Wang Mansion are left, but there are peaches in the Wang Mansion and they are town houses. , there is really no need to do something, I will save the Qi Wang family for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

When Qingchi walked past him, Bei Jiuyuan opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.When she got into the carriage, he seemed to mutter softly: "Qingchi..."

Qing Chi didn't seem to hear it, and got into the carriage directly.

In the afternoon, it began to rain.The drizzle was lingering and never stopped.It was surprisingly cold, and the whole of Kyoto was shrouded in a damp and cold atmosphere.

When he came out of his mansion, a gust of cold wind was blowing in front of him, and Qingchi was startled to feel cold and hungry.It had been dark for a long time by then.

The wet carriage was still parked by the gate of the mansion, and the horse kept breathing white under the dim light.Qingchi saw the person sitting on the rafters at a glance, and was taken aback, it wasn't Beicheng.

It was Beijiuyuan.

He didn't know how long he had been here, nor how long he had been sitting here.The whole person has a moist and cold rainy breath.

Seeing Qingchi coming out, he who had been as cold as ice seemed to have melted for a moment and became warm and easy-going.He said, "Get in the carriage."

Qingchi said: "Why are you here? Where is Beicheng?"

"Beicheng has been working hard for days, and I asked him to go back to rest." His eyes signaled Qingchi to get on the carriage quickly.

Qingchi didn't look good either. He froze in the drizzle, so he got into the carriage without saying a word.He sat in front and drove slowly.

His driving was no worse than Beicheng's, it was very smooth, and there were very few bumps along the way.The two didn't say a word for a long time.

Later, it was Bei Jiuyuan who spoke first to break the calm: "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet."

Bei Jiuyuan reprimanded him a little: "No matter how busy you make yourself, you should still focus on getting enough food."

When I passed a small restaurant, there was a faint yellow light in it.Qingchi hurriedly said: "Jiuyuan, stop quickly."

With a thought, Bei Jiuyuan pulled over and stopped the carriage.Qing Chi jumped out of the carriage and said: "When there is no food, Pundao would come here for a snack."

She said and walked into someone's shop.The boss seemed to be waiting for her to come, and when he saw her, he smiled, as if he was very familiar with her, and said, "What will Taoist priest eat today?"

Qing Chi found a place to sit down and said, "A bowl of wontons, two taels of sake."

"That's good." The boss looked at Bei Jiuyuan who came in afterward. The door frame in the store was a little low and crude. The curtain appeared in the sight of the boss, as if he had walked out of a painting, with moisture on his body, white clothes and black robes, like a character who had just been drawn, and the ink was not dry yet.The boss was stunned for a while, then asked, "What about this guest officer?"

Qing Chi looked back at him, his eyes only fell on him for a moment and then moved away, and said: "What about you, do you want to eat?"

Bei Jiuyuan came over and sat down opposite Qingchi, and said, "Beilou said that you often come here to eat. I didn't eat tonight, so I'll be the same as you."

"The two guest officers, please wait a moment."

The two sat facing each other, unable to speak for a while.As if silence is also a form of communication.

Bei Jiuyuan's clothes were dark in color, and he looked wet from the rain.Qingchi still spoke first: "You don't need to do these things yourself, even if there is no Beicheng, you can just ask another driver to pick up Pindao."

How could Bei Jiuyuan be relieved, he came here in person because he was too worried and couldn't bear it anymore.Right now, he said calmly: "Anyway, being idle is idle."

Soon the boss brought up two bowls of hot wontons and a small bottle of sake.

Qing Chi took the wine bottle and poured it into a small wine glass, and said, "There are many things to pass the time when you are free, such as reading books." She looked at the bowl of wonton in front of Bei Jiuyuan again, and said , "You didn't like these greasy, fishy and salty foods before, so why didn't you ask the boss to make other lighter ones for you."
