The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 221 Niu Hesheng Disappeared

Meng Wanfeng and Fu Ling talked all the way, and when they arrived at Linxi Pavilion, Li Zhao had already started to preside over the lottery.

This is also the most exciting part of this morning.

The 63 players who won the match in Liuquan Ju, plus Niu Hesheng, and the Shanzhuang side, after three days of fighting, the remaining 88 players made a total of 150 players.

There were 120 five contestants, some wearing veils, some not.Later, above all the chessboards, there is a gauze curtain that is better than nothing.

In order to achieve the purpose of blind date to the greatest extent, the girls will first select people who will play chess with them.

Many young masters here in the villa already know that this lottery is tricky. Some ladies have notified the organizer in advance who they want to play against, so everyone stretched their necks in anticipation.

"It's Yu Shaofeng who is playing against Fourth Miss Huang!"

Yu Shaofeng is the grandson of Dali Temple Qing Lord Yu. His father was a county magistrate during his exile. He himself took the path of a military commander and worked as an errand in the five cities. He is almost always in the military barracks on weekdays, and has little chance to get in touch with ladies from various families. Recently, his mother is anxious to show him the family, but he himself doesn't want to take off the hijab to know what his wife looks like.

It just so happened that Su Wang's mansion held such a chess game, so he asked for leave and came here. Unexpectedly, the girl really fell in love with him!
Hey!
The surrounding young masters are all whistling and clapping their hands and booing!

Yu Shaofeng's tanned face turned red in an instant, and everyone laughed louder. Seeing that he was shy, they all pushed him to the seat of the competition.

Yu Shaofeng sat down, and through the thin gauze curtain, he saw the round eyes of the girl opposite, and smiled sweetly at him. His heart was beating wildly, and after thinking for a long time, he choked out a sentence: "Miss Huang Si , I'm Yu Shaofeng, you're being polite here."

The girl on the opposite side smiled shyly: "Hi, little general Yu, my daughter is being polite."

"Say, you can't be called a little general, just, just a thousand households."

"That's pretty cool too."

"No, I dare not, I dare not."

The girl on the opposite side laughed, her brows and eyes were curved, and Yu Shaofeng was dizzy from seeing it.

Of course, not everyone is as shy as Yu Shaofeng, there are also those who hang out in brothels and Chu houses all the year round and are very good at flirting with girls, for example: Ning Yuan.

It's a pity that this guy stretched his neck and waited for a long time. The girl was almost finished smoking, and he was so angry before he got his name!He looks so handsome, yet no one looks at him, it's impossible!Absolutely impossible!There are tricks!

Sure enough, all the five girls at 120 were drawn and he didn't get his turn. The only thing left was a man-to-man battle. In the end, because the number of people was odd, he found that he was actually the one who got the order!
"Finally, Fourth Prince Ning of Zhenbeihou's Mansion! This way please." A little Huangmen smiled and invited him to sit down in front of a chessboard.

"I said, what do you mean?" Ning Yuan sat down and put one foot on the table frantically, and asked, "Didn't I automatically enter the next round? Who will play with me?"

"My son." Li Zhao sat down opposite him.

"Hey! Why are you here with a wife to join in the fun? Go!" Ning Yuan was not happy.

"Come on, we haven't left for a long time." Li Zhao pushed his feet off the table in a good temper, and glanced at the little yellow door, who hurriedly came to wipe the table.

"Who wants to play with you?" Ning Yuan was about to explode, he knew he was "arranged".

"Then you admit defeat?"

"Why?"

"If you don't admit defeat, go down."

"Let's go, no one is afraid of you!" Ning Yuan gritted his teeth.

Li Zhao asked with a smile, "Hei Zi Bai Zi?"

"Kuroko!"

"How many sons do you need?"

"roll!"

Li Zhao clicked his tongue and shook his head: "It's a bluff."

Sure enough, after half an hour, Ning Yuan lost.

On the other side, another big brother was also alone, and his opponent didn't come.

"Who didn't come?" Li Zhao asked Xiao Huangmen who came to report.

Xiao Huangmen replied: "A scholar named Niu Hesheng lives over there in Liuquan."

Li Zhao frowned: "Ask the concierge, have you seen Mr. Niu's invitation card?" He stood up and sat down in front of Mr. Du who was left alone because his opponent didn't come.

Mr. Du was a little flustered and wanted to kneel down, but he was supported by Li Zhao: "Brother, don't panic, this son just happens to be a chess lover."

Mr. Du sweated slightly on his forehead, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, Caomin's surname is Du, Caomin is rude!"

"Don't be rude, haha, Mr. Niu couldn't come, how about I accompany you in the next game?"

"Ah! It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

"Mr. Du, please sit down, black or white?"

"Uh... whatever you want."

"Well, this son plays white pieces." Li Zhao said, grabbed a handful of chess pieces in his hand, stared at the chessboard, and began to wait for the opponent to make a move.

Du Wenfu was scratching his head trying to say something, this was the first time he had close contact with such a high-status person, the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion!He is from Hejian Mansion in Beizhili, his family conditions are not bad, he has [-] mu of land, he can be regarded as a farming and studying family, and there was a Juren in his ancestors.

"Caomin is from Hejian Mansion," he said.

Li Zhao smiled: "Come to participate in this year's autumn or next year's spring?"

Du Wenfu said: "Next year's spring."

This means that he is already a juren.

"Is there a place to live in the capital?" Li Zhao asked.

"Caomin is a supervisor of Guozijian. He originally wanted to rent a house near Guozijian, but now he rents a house near Dajue Temple."

Li Zhaodao: "It's a bit far from the Imperial College there."

Du Wenfu said: "I can't help it. The rent of the house in the capital is too expensive. The rent of the house next to the Imperial College that I originally rented was 40 taels a year."

Li Zhao clicked his tongue: "That's really expensive. I'll make a booklet to talk to Grandpa Huang about it some other day, and see if I can get the Imperial College to build a school building for the students."

"Ah, this is, this is how grateful the grass people are..."

"Haha, I can only write a booklet. Whether Grandpa Huang can say anything else depends on whether the household department can distribute the money."

"Your Majesty's intentions, Caomin must tell his classmates when he returns!"

"That's unnecessary, play chess and chess."

The two of them looked at each other and talked, Du Wenfu was a little moved by His Royal Highness's approachability, but soon he couldn't laugh - because he was about to lose!

After struggling for a quarter of an hour, Du Wenfu threw away the chess pieces in his hand, and bowed his hands to Li Zhao: "Your Highness is superb at chess, and the grass people really admire it."

Li Zhao laughed: "Brother Du is usually busy with his studies, so it's normal that he has no time to care about this. I wish Brother Du a successful start this year and win the first place in one fell swoop."

He didn't walk away after playing two rounds, and ran to the second floor to greet the guests who came to watch the game.

There are so many guests here today, and there are all kinds of people. Lin Wanfu thought that His Royal Highness would be impatient, and just find a place to hide after saying a few words, but Li Zhao was very patient today, and his attitude was extraordinarily friendly, so that Meng Wanfeng, who had been watching from the sidelines, felt that she didn't know Li Zhao.

She could tell clearly whether Li Zhao was really happy or fake when he smiled, and whether he was really kind or fake. After observing for a while, she also felt that Li Zhao was in a surprisingly good mood today.

Li Zhao like this, had he seen it in his previous life?
Lin Wanfu followed his master, and saw Mrs. Shan approaching from a distance, he winked at the hidden guards who were dressed in plain clothes and mixed in the crowd.So before Shan Xiujuan could get close to Li Zhao, she was stopped and taken away.

His Royal Highness is finally in a good mood, how can he let someone ruin it casually? !
Although Lin Wanfu couldn't understand the behavior of the crown prince always dominating His Highness and not telling him to touch others, but the ability of the crown prince to make His Highness happy was beyond comparison.As a slave, after all, isn't the most important thing is to serve the master well and make him feel at ease?
Ever since Ning Yueyao called the imperial concubine a little slut in front of her face yesterday, Lin Wanfu silently made a cross for Cousin Ning in her heart.How can such a big worm serve her Highness well?

Why is it that none of the noble daughters of the aristocratic families are virtuous and virtuous?

Song Qingyue nestled on the bed, her stomach ached so badly that she was dizzy, and she couldn't sleep, so she kept the ink bamboo and the ink fan in the room, and asked her to read the book to herself.Her stomachache also came and went, and when it wasn't so painful, she would do some mindless sewing, such as making some new underwear for Li Zhao.

Not long after, Li Qiushui came.

"Why are you here? It's so hard to come to the villa, and don't go out for a walk." Song Qingyue pulled her to sit down by the bed, "There are braised chicken feet today, you probably haven't eaten them, do you want to eat them?"

Mo Ping brought up a large plate of marinated chicken feet, Li Qiushui shrank back in fear when he saw it, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, forget it."

Song Qingyue picked one up with chopsticks and put it directly in her mouth: "The nails have been cut and the bones have been removed. Try it? It's delicious!"

Li Qiushui continued to shake her head: "I still don't want to try." Her frightened look made everyone in the room laugh.

Song Qingyue waved to everyone in the room and said, "Come on, everyone who wants to eat one, let's share this plate."

Mo Zhu and Mo Mei came over and unceremoniously divided each of them. Later, they brought a lot of snacks, such as dried tofu, boiled peanuts in salt water, and small pancakes with dried plums and vegetables. Song Qingyue took a bite first, and everyone else separated.

Li Qiushui said with a smile: "Every time I come here, I can always find some delicious food."

Song Qingyue said: "That's right, come here often if you want to eat."

"I'm afraid you're busy."

"Then you should try to spend more time studying, and when you pass the exam, come and help me with things. I will pay you at that time."

"There's still wages." Li Qiushui laughed.

"Well, it's the same as learning to dance. Didn't I pay you for the tuition?"

"Tuition fees..." Li Qiushui chewed on the word and laughed, it wasn't money rewards, it was tuition fees.

After the morning competition, there were 130 eight people left on the long display board with the names of the contestants.

As soon as the results came out, some people rushed to the capital, and the display boards at the Liuquan Bureau were updated at the same time, and the betting people were still counting on seeing the results of the game.

Originally Song Qingyue thought that those sons would show mercy to the girls, but out of 120 out of five girls, only nineteen were promoted.

Song Qingyue frowned and clicked her tongue: "Don't these people know how to give in to girls? One by one, why are they so ruthless?"

The little Qin Gonggong who came back to report the letter said: "Perhaps it is more embarrassing to lose to a woman?"

Mo Zhu nodded at the side, also agreeing with this statement.

But there is another reason that everyone didn't expect, that if there is a girl they like sitting opposite, those sons don't want to leave a chance for the girl to play chess with other men.

"By the way, did the son find someone to play against? I remember that the number of people in this round is odd, right?" Song Qingyue asked Qin Jifu.

Eunuch Xiao Qin said with a smile: "We won two rounds in a row. In the first round, we played against Fourth Young Master Ning. In the second round, someone didn't come."

"Not here? Did you go to confirm?"

Little Qin Eunuch looked a little evasive, and said: "The concierge said that someone came in the morning, and His Highness is looking for someone."

Song Qingyue felt that something had happened.

"This is a big deal. Hurry up and send more people to look for it, especially in remote small yards, as well as near rockery and ponds. I'm afraid someone is causing trouble."

When she patted the edge of the bed, someone must be trying to trick her again!
"Tell me carefully, what is the name of the lost person, which family he belongs to, and what does he do?"

"The man's surname is Niu, and his name is Niu Hesheng. His family is a tenant in the village of Uncle Yunyang's Beijing suburb. He has passed the examination of scholar, and usually helps people copy books, write letters, and do lawsuits."

Song Qingyue was stunned when she heard it, how could she lose a poor scholar?She thought it was the young master of some family.

"Lost?"

Little Eunuch Qin shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."

Song Qingyue was so upset by the news that she forgot about her stomachache, she held her head and thought hard, how could a poor scholar get lost in such a good way?

If he is really a scholar from an ordinary farming family, shouldn't he be cautious and cautious when entering the palace for the first time?what will he doHe will definitely follow the crowd, or be led away by maidservants or eunuchs.

It's impossible to wander around alone. Now it's a feudal society, and he definitely doesn't have the guts to do so.

Soon, a guard from the palace came to inform, saying that the person had been found, but it was a little troublesome, and Prince Jing's concubine had already gone, but Song Qingyue might need to go there to deal with it in person.

Song Qingyue quickly changed into a dress, she was helped to sit on the shoulders that had been prepared outside, and two guards carried her to the scene of the incident. Quan, Song Qingyue knew him.

Wan Quan followed Jianyu, and said as he walked, "One of our hidden guards found that Mr. Niu fainted under a bridge hole in the lotus pond."

"Drowning?" Song Qingyue asked.

"No, it's just soaked through, like being knocked out. There is still a string of water marks on the shore, which disappeared in the rockery cave. But our people dived into the lake and searched the other side, and found some hairpins. Ring jewelry, one of which has a built-in imprint on it." Wan Quan replied.

"Have you checked the list of female family members in the villa today? Did you find anyone who left early?" Song Qingyue asked again.

"It's being investigated, and there will be results soon." Wan Quan said.

When Song Qingyue arrived, there was already a new situation. A maid suddenly ran over and said that the third girl Ning of the Zhenbei Houfu fell into the water. He changed clothes with Miss Ning San, took her to the guest house, and let her rest. Now that she changed clothes, she wanted to help Miss Ning San find her maid, Xiuzhu.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what it meant. Li Zhao looked at the maid's name tag and asked, "Zi Lan, what else did Miss Ning San say besides these?"

The maid named Zilan shook her head: "The maidservant was just passing by at the time, and she panicked when she saw Miss Ning San like that, so I won't have time to ask anything in the future."

Meng Wanfeng took a look at Song Qingyue, walked over to support her, and analyzed: "This matter is more likely to be aimed at Miss Ning San."

Song Qingyue looked at Niu Hesheng with some pity. It seemed that this person had been implicated. She could only wait for him to wake up and ask him what happened.

After a while, Niu Hesheng woke up, and suddenly saw so many noble people in brocade clothes sitting in the room, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Don't be dizzy, don't be dizzy!" Lin Wanfu supported him, "It's nothing, I just want to ask you what's the matter. Don't be nervous, my lord!"
