-

"Miss, it's time to eat."

Qing'er carried an exquisite four-layer food box into the room, where Jin Changge was lying on the table in a daze.

"You can eat, I'm not hungry."

Qing'er sighed, looked at Jin Changge and said, "Miss, I know you've been feeling panicked since you haven't been out of the house recently."

"But you are eating less and less, and this is not the way to go."

"You have to eat after all. Seeing how bad you look makes me..."

Jin Changge turned her head and saw Qing'er's frowning face. She pulled Qing'er to her side, pinched her face and said with a smile:

"Look at you, every day I don't eat, but you, a greedy girl, eat it and your face gets fat."

"No, I can't see you turn into a fat girl, I'd better eat some."

Qing'er blushed and opened the food box with a smile.

While taking the food out, she said casually: "Miss, today I went out to see Song Ma. Song Ma's eye disease is much better. She asked me to say hello to the lady and said not to worry about her. She wants to go back to the house after her eye disease is cured." Cook."

With that said, Qing'er took out a cloth bag from the food box and said with a smile: "Here, this is the dried sweet potato made by Song's mother at home. It's delicious. It's specially given to Miss."

"Mama Song doesn't dare to give too much, for fear that the young lady won't like it. I'll give you some to try first."

Jin Changge picked up a dried sweet potato, looked at Qing'er and smiled: "If you say it's delicious, you must have tasted it."

"Besides, I won't look down on you, but I'd better not give too much. Let Song's mother leave it for her grandson to eat. The child's father left early, and it's very difficult at home."

"Mother Song is not young anymore. It's better not to go back home. Her body can't bear it. You can give her some money later so that she can take care of her grandson at home."

She put the dried sweet potato into her mouth and after chewing it for a few times, she felt it was sweet. Jin Changge's eyes lit up and he smiled again:

"Yes, it's delicious! It's much more delicious than the candied fruit at home."

"Why don't the house buy some of these dried sweet potatoes? I've never eaten them before."

Qing'er smiled lightly and said, "This is something ordinary people eat. We are the royal family, so naturally we won't buy it."

"A small box of preserves is worth a large bag of dried sweet potatoes."

"Miss, before you brought me back home, I always looked forward to eating dried sweet potatoes. This stuff is sweet and filling. If you drink more water while eating, you won't be hungry all day long."

Jin Changge ate dried sweet potatoes and said with a smile: "Looking at your greed, your parents must have given you the delicious food at home in the past."

Qing'er shook her head and sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that my father died in Huichang. My mother was seriously ill and died soon after. I no longer have any dried sweet potatoes to eat."

"I wandered here. If you hadn't picked it up for me, miss, I would have starved to death."

Seeing a trace of sadness on Qing'er's face, Jin Changge comforted him: "Okay, it's all over."

"You are a lucky girl to be able to wander from a place as far away as Huichang to the capital."

"You are lucky, you are almost turning into a fat girl now."

Qing'er's face turned red, she pouted and said, "You're not too lucky. I was scared to death when I went out today."

Hearing this, Jin Changge raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qing'er whispered: "On the way to Song Ma's house, I met a crazy old Taoist. He was being chased by several officers and soldiers. I wanted to avoid it, but I didn't expect that the old Taoist happened to be running towards me. ”

"He was waving his hands and yelling like crazy. I almost got hit."

"The old Taoist was talking nonsense. The officers and soldiers who were chasing me told me to cover my ears and stop listening, and then they chased the old Taoist. I don't know if this crazy Taoist priest was caught. I was really scared to death."

Speaking of this, Qing'er patted her chest with lingering fear.

Jin Changge looked at her scared look and chuckled.

"Look at your courage, what's there to be afraid of?"

Qing'er frowned and continued: "How can it not be scary? There is a crazy old Taoist priest and a group of somewhat vicious officers and soldiers. They asked me to cover my ears and told me not to talk nonsense."

"How scary this is."

Jin Changge tilted his head, becoming interested.

"What can't you hear? What can't you say?"

Qing'er stuck out her tongue, shook her head and said, "It's not a good thing, and I don't dare to say it."

Seeing her cautious look, Jin Changge smiled and hugged her, then pinched the soft flesh around her waist and said:

"Are you still hiding it from me? Tell me now!"

Qing'er was pinched and bent over with laughter. She twisted her body and said, "Okay, Miss, don't torment me. I said it's not enough."

After Jin Changge let go, Qing'er looked around, then walked to the door. Seeing that no one was outside, she walked to Jin Changge again.

"Miss, you can't tell others, otherwise I'll get slapped on the back. No, getting slapped on the back is easy."

Jin Changge was waiting impatiently, frowning and said, "What? It's so mysterious."

"It's just a few nonsense words from a crazy Taoist priest. Miss, you have to listen, ugh." Qing'er said with a bitter face.

"Speak quickly! If you don't tell me today, you will be dead!" Jin Changge tried to choke him.

Qing'er hurriedly bowed and whispered into Jin Changge's ear: "That crazy Taoist priest was shouting as he walked. I only vaguely heard a few sentences, and I can't remember the rest clearly."

Speaking of this, Qing'er's voice became even softer.

"Miss, that crazy Taoist priest said: The killing of Zhongliang collapses like a mountain, and the waterside becomes a strange pool when nothing happens."

After the words fell, Jin Changge's expression changed.

There was a "bang" sound.

The food box on the side was pushed to the table during the fun just now, and now it fell down.

The food box had four layers, and the outside was engraved with a carefully carved golden dragon pattern. However, as it fell to the ground, the wooden lattice inside the box was scattered all over the floor.

Qing'er was about to bend down to pack the food box, but was grabbed by Jin Changge.

She looked solemn and said, "Qing'er, do you know what it means?"

Seeing her serious face, Qing'er turned pale with fright and said hurriedly:

"I don't know. The officer told me not to listen and asked me to forget these words, but... But the more he said it, the harder it was for me to forget it. I knew it was definitely not a good thing."

"Oh, blame me. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone out to see Mother Song today."

Jin Changge saw Qing'er's face turned pale with fright. She patted Qing'er on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll just ask."

"You may not understand the second half of the sentence, but I think you must understand the first half of the sentence. I have taught you how to read and write."

Qing'er knew she couldn't hide it, so she lowered her head and hummed softly.

Jin Changge smiled and said, "Okay, silly girl, it's okay. Don't be afraid."

"But, I really can't tell others. No wonder those officers and soldiers wanted to arrest the Taoist priest."

"Next time you go out, you have to be careful and don't get involved."

Qing'er nodded hurriedly, then bent down to pack up the food box.

Jin Changge was no longer in the mood to eat. She sat on the chair, propped up her chin and meditated quietly.

"This food box is so expensive. It cost a lot of silver. Why did it fall apart after just a slight drop?"

Qing'er frowned and stuffed the scattered wooden boxes into the food box.

Hearing this, Jin Changge looked down and saw that she was in a hurry, so he said:

"Okay, if it's broken, just break it. Don't force it on. You won't be able to use it in the future."

"I'm telling you! It turns out that the wood inside is rotten!" Qing'er found the reason and her frown relaxed.

Jin Changge lowered his head and frowned:

"Qing'er, let me ask you, the area where Song's mother lives is full of poor people. Every time you go there, have you heard them talking about Qin Ze's rebellion?"

Qing'er stood up holding the food box, looked at Jin Changge and said, "Miss, I don't know about this."

"Every time I leave the house, I always go directly to Song Ma's house. I don't go to places like teahouses and rouge shops."

"But sometimes when I walk down the alley, there are some people chatting. When I pass by them, they don't talk much."

Jin Changge looked puzzled, "Why?"

Qing'er pouted and said, "What can idle men talk about? I'm wearing the clothes of the royal palace, which is different from them. Naturally, they don't dare to say anything."

Looking at Qing'er's arrogant look, Jin Changge joked: "Look at what you can do. A little maid can do so much."

Qing'er chuckled, "How can you say that I am also a maid of Prince Qing's Mansion? That is naturally different."

"Miss, you have never been there. If you had been, they wouldn't even dare to raise their heads, and probably wouldn't dare to say a word."

"By the way, miss, hurry up and eat, it's almost getting cold."

Jin Changge shook his head and said, "If you don't want to eat it, take it away. Leave the dried sweet potatoes. That's enough for me to eat at night."

Qing'er could only nod, "Okay, miss."

After putting away the food, Qing'er carried the food box and walked out. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Jin Changge say:

"Qing'er, help me find some civilian clothes and send them over tomorrow."

Qing'er turned around, with a puzzled look on her face. "Miss? Are you going to disguise yourself as a man again?"

"Don't you still have clothes?"

Jin Changge shook his head: "No, those clothes are still too expensive. Find the most ordinary ones, similar to those of Song Ma and others."

"But...Miss, you are not allowed to leave the house." Qing'er frowned.

"I have my own way." Jin Changge said casually.

"Okay, miss."

Qing'er's eyebrows were soothed, she hugged the food box and stepped out of the room.
