fake prince

Chapter 4

In other words, it is the coldest when the spring snow melts, and now it is getting colder in the middle of the night. Even if you are exercising, the servant who is about to freeze sees a shrine ahead, and immediately reports to the carriage: "Madam, miss, there is a shrine ahead, is it there?" Rest here? It’s not far from Linhua County, and it’s not time to open the city gate, so if you rush over, you have to wait at the gate.”

"Then go and see if there is any owner in the shrine. If there is, ask if you can come in and rest." A female voice sounded from inside the carriage, although it was deliberately calm, it still made the steward's heart flutter.

He hurriedly lowered his head, not even daring to look at the jade hand that raised the curtain, and replied: "Yes, ma'am."

"Slow down, let Xingzhu ask." I don't know why the people inside suddenly changed their minds, and then a maid came down from the carriage. Meiyi, who was given the surname Hu by the master, is Hu Xingzhu, the eldest maid of the wife.

The steward was only promoted not long ago. Although I don't understand why the second wife of the Hu family dared to use such a beautiful maid, after all, any hostess would generally not like this color, but I am a servant, and I am not as good as the other party and his wife. Get closer, don't dare to show the slightest, and have to accompany the smiling face.

Hu Xingzhu was quick to do things, and went directly to knock on the door. Su Ziji heard it from inside and asked, "Who?"

When Hu Xingzhu saw the young man who was reading by the campfire turned around, her face turned red, and she made a curtsey: "We are relatives of the Hu family. We came here on our way. Can I come in and take shelter from the snow?"

It is rare to see people traveling overnight, Su Ziji took a few more glances, and the servant girl's face turned even redder.

"Come in, it's a shrine, and I'm staying there too." Su Ziji replied.

When Hu Xingzhu went back to report to his wife, the voice came from the carriage again: "Then go and rest."

The carriage drove over slowly and surrounded the open space at the entrance of the shrine. A few entered the main hall of the shrine, and most of them took shelter from the wind and snow in the wing rooms. A female guard was watching Su Ziji vigilantly. He was young, handsome, and a scholar—highly dangerous. !

Then the women got out of the car. The young women and girls in the middle of them were all covered with veils, surrounded by a few maids, and sat far away in the opposite corner to avoid suspicion. They also lit a fire and took out food to bake. When passing by, He knew the etiquette, looked down, and could smell a faint fragrance.

"Although I don't know the appearance of the second daughter, but at a glance, I can see that she has a good temperament and a good background. However, this has nothing to do with me. Why don't you continue to study, and the experience points are all yours."

Thinking in this way, Su Ziji began to read aloud again, not noticing that the young woman and the girl suddenly frowned and moved their noses.

"Let all the people in the world wear uniforms in order to carry on the sacrifices. It's as if it's above it, as if it's on its side."

"Shun's great filial piety is also the same! Virtue is a sage, respected as the son of heaven, and rich in the world. The ancestral temple worships it, and the descendants protect it."

After hearing this, the young woman and the girl glanced at a spot of blood. Others saw the boiled pheasant and thought it was chicken blood, but they glanced at each other and suddenly became strange.

Soon, Hu Xingzhu came over with a plate of pastries: "My wife sent some pastries to express my gratitude. Please don't refuse."

She smiled on her face, but she was a little surprised in her heart. My wife and miss, it wouldn't be like this. They looked at Su Ziji, could it be his charm?

Su Ziji didn't know what she was thinking, so he declined, but seeing that the other party insisted on giving it away, he had no choice but to accept it as a thank you and continue studying.

Speechless for a while, the young woman closed her eyes and rested in satisfaction, as long as she could repay this karma, she didn't want to have anything to do with this boy.

And the girl quietly took out a wooden block to carve, Su Ziji looked at it for a while, it seemed that it was a carriage, and she was striving for perfection.

Seemingly aware of Su Ziji's gaze, the girl turned her body and asked in a low voice, "Are you a scholar?"

"No, I'm just preparing for the county test, and there are two days left."

The girl looked at the boy a few times, but she didn't react like the servant girl, but just shook her head: "I see you are under the influence of bad luck, you failed the exam."

Su Ziji didn't believe this, but when he remembered the words of the wild Taoist priest, his heart moved, and he deliberately said: "We scholars emphasize that learning can win life, and hard work is all it takes."

"It might be possible, but your talent is not enough." The girl suddenly felt that she had talked too much, she covered her mouth and stopped talking, then the young woman opened her eyes and glanced at her: "Is the sculpture finished?"

"Okay, mother."

The group of people took a rest, then went out again, and heard the sound of wheels rattling as they left.

"No, I have to ask what he meant!" Su Ziji hesitated, but still chased after him.

But what was surprising was that the other party had just stepped out of the temple gate quickly. When he ran out of the temple gate, the gate was empty, not to mention the motorcade, not even a single person.

"It's weird, can't you fly?" Su Ziji felt absurd spontaneously, turned around and planned to go back, but when he looked again, the shrine where he rested just now was gone!

In the wind and snow, only a fire was still crackling and burning, and there was a book that was thrown away on one side, which also fell on the snow at this time.

"This, is it a world with ghosts and gods?" Su Ziji was stunned, this kind of thing is simply horrifying, he hurriedly picked up the scroll, looked around, and was stunned for a long time.

The meat buns are still inside!

Well, let’s treat it as a dog, and adjust his mentality. Su Ziji was stunned for a long time, and his face gradually became gloomy: "If there is a world of ghosts and gods, it is really possible that my family's cemetery is destroyed, resulting in broken Feng Shui... ...Damn it, these tomb robbers really did nothing wrong."

"According to what the girl said, even if you have bad luck, you can suppress it even if you are talented. It's just that it's higher than normal—but there are only two days before the exam. What should I do?" Su Ziji pondered. Insurance!

Gotta figure it out.

Linhua County City Gate

In ancient times, it usually opened at Mao time and closed at You time. When the time came, the city gate squeaked and slowly opened, and snow fell again in the gloomy sky. In the bitter cold wind, pedestrians rushed in, including a team of low-key and luxurious carriages. .

No one saw when they appeared outside the city, and no one noticed the abnormality of this convoy. Occasionally, people looked at them and felt that the guards escorting the carriage were strong and strong, and their expressions were solemn. Even the horses pulling the carriage They are all quite vigorous, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.

The curtains of the carriages fluttered slightly in the morning breeze. Inside one of the carriages, there was a warm fragrance, and the interior was luxurious, which was very different from the low-key exterior.

The two beautiful figures were sitting quietly in the car. If Su Ziji saw them at this time, he would definitely recognize them as the women he had seen in the shrine earlier.

At this time, the young woman glanced at the girl, frowned slightly, and asked a little displeased: "What happened to you just now, talking so much?"

Hearing this, the girl paused slightly with the hand holding the scroll.

In fact, she herself was also a little puzzled. She would never have said those blurted words in the past. After all, this was a revelation. Although it was just a trivial matter, it was easy to cause trouble for them.

But these are not easy to explain to my aunt, lest my aunt have to think too much.

"Xu saw that he was kind, so I wanted to mention something." Under the veil, the girl looked calm and her voice was indifferent.

Seeing her like this, the young woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The young man is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, and the young girl is really emotional, but it is a big trouble, so it is best.

But soon to arrive at the destination, the young woman had to take the opportunity to mention a few words.

"This kind of thing is not an example. We must know that we must be careful when walking in the world, and we must not be careless."

"If we want to gain a foothold in the world, we all have to use our popularity to cover up our strangeness, so we all give favors to others, adopt orphans, cultivate them into Hu family, and mix in them."

"Even in the newly relocated team, there are only one or two members of the tribe. If they were all tribe members, An Neng's living in the human world would have been discovered long ago."

"Especially those alchemists who use my family as the elixir. They are the most vicious, and their noses are also very good."

"Besides, that boy is not simple."

"It's not easy for the shrine to let him in, and as far as I can see, there is human blood on the ground, the blood is still wet, and the resentful spirit is still lingering. Even if ordinary people can't see or hear it, they will still feel it."

"But this person sits upright and recites, despite the lingering grievances, his voice is clear and clear, if he didn't kill him, he killed him, and he has this posture..." The young woman shook her head. This kind of person is very scary: "This kind of person is mostly It is born of luck, even if it is hostility, you must not be contaminated at this time."

Being repeatedly reminded to be careful, the girl's cold temper couldn't help but give birth to a trace of annoyance, not because of the elder's teaching, but because of the promise she had to fulfill this time.

"Third Aunt, is the fiancée really here?" The girl changed the subject.

"Back then, referring to the fox as his wife, and taking red sandalwood tin as evidence, a word formed a cause and effect, which would not be erased even for hundreds of years. Now that half of your red sandalwood tin has shaken, it must be that the destined person has fallen." This matter is more important. , the young woman was immediately attracted attention.

"Third aunt, what was the name of the person who referred to the fox as his wife back then? Why is there such a big karma after hundreds of years that it deserves so much attention from the clan?"

"Not to be said."

The young woman seemed to have scruples, as if she was blocking the name in secret, she sighed quietly: "You just need to know that the matter of red sandalwood and wood tin is definitely a great opportunity, and it can even stir the secrets of heaven."

"In our fox family, generations of people have to read the books of people and learn the rites of people in addition to cultivation, just to cope with this." The envy and fear in her eyes could not be expressed: "If it was decades earlier, That's me."

"You have such luck, we are all envious, but when the red sandalwood tin moves, the secret will change, or there will be a catastrophe, which messes with your heart, you need to be careful... now anyone who approaches you is a disciple Son, there is no need to pretend."

"As for the Hu family, it's just an excuse to cover up our family's identity, and we don't go through them for food. Our family has already set up a shop in Linhua County. Go to Hu's house."

"Understood, Third Aunt." The girl listened to the instruction, and stopped asking, but held a half piece of red sandalwood in her sleeve, and looked into the distance.

Outside the car, snowflakes were flying, it was bone-chilling, and the slanting wind and thick snow made the road ahead even more unreal.

"Third Aunt always plans ahead, so she doesn't know about the Hu family, do you know how to measure?"

As for the boy just now, although there was a bit of turmoil, it subsided in a blink of an eye.
