Ten days later, the weather began to be very hot, the air seemed to be dull and the dragonflies could not fly, finally waiting for a thunderstorm, washed away a lot of heat, the branches and green leaves should be verdant, the low droplets on the eaves, echoing in the quiet.

Jinping walked around with me in Xiyang Palace, which was very empty, and there were almost no obstacles for me to touch, and sometimes I wondered if I could see things one day, and I would have sighed that I could live in such an empty environment for so long.

I once asked Jinping if I had seen me before, and Jinping said that she and Lan Lu were both new palace maids, and I had only heard of a lady Xiyang but had never met. The palace people of Xiyang Palace are all new to the palace, just like Jinping, and even Concubine Ming and Madame Rui only saw me for the first time ten days ago...... When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a crisp laughter from the west wall, and soon after it stopped, it sounded again, and it was so unhappy that it was not happy.

"Mr. Min, it's not that King Zhou You has never seen a beautiful woman, why is he so infatuated with Bao Xi? Don't sell Guan Zi, go on! Fu Yan, serve tea to Mr. ......" was Mrs. Rui's voice.

There is no shocking wood, no description of painting and color, and there is no simulated ventriloquist, the voice is gentle and moderate, not slow or urgent, but mellow as fine wine, word by word:

"The harem of King Zhou You, who is a little jasper, abounds, but like Bao Xi, who is so innocent and straightforward, he is angry and angry, no matter who opens his mouth and scolds, where has King Zhou You seen it.......?

I can't remember a word of what he said, except that my head was in a mess when I heard the voice, and I stood under the west wall in a daze. I must have heard this somewhere......

"King Zhou You smiled for the Pomeranians, and did not hesitate to play the princes ......"

"The lord of the country loves the lord of the Xiyang Palace so much, is it because she likes to play petty? I heard that she dared to bolt the door to prevent the lord of the country from entering!" I don't know who snorted like this, and was immediately ordered to silence.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Jinping asked nervously.

When I came back to my senses, I was shocked to realize a cold piece on my face, and quickly wiped it away, saying, "It's nothing, next door is the Hibiscus Water Pavilion? Jinping Jinping, I want to go out for a walk." ”

When I appeared at the Furong Water Pavilion, there was a sudden silence around me, and even the sound that hit my heart faintly ached just now stopped for a while.

Jinping whispered to me that in addition to Mrs. Rui and Concubine Ming, there were also concubines from Feiqiong Hall and Concubine Li from Qingluan Palace who heard stories in the Water Pavilion. Concubine Ming stepped forward and took my hand and said with a smile:

"Isn't it that I'm waiting for my sister to make a noise? Since you're here, why don't you have a few tea and listen to books with our sisters?"

I bowed and bowed my head and said, "Sister Ming, where is Mr. Min who saved Xiyang's life?"

The sound of footsteps sounded, very soft, and stopped in front of me with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, "Min Sikong has seen Mrs. Xiyang. The voice trembled with a hint of hard suppression, probably anyone who saw the favorite concubine of the lord of the country would have such a reaction.

"Xiyang is fortunate to be rescued by Mr., thank you here......"

"Xiyang, why did you come here?" Helian Yue strode from behind me, and everyone present knelt down one after another, and he grabbed me with one hand to stop me from kneeling, "Didn't the imperial doctor say that you want to recuperate?" Jinping, how do you take care of your master?!"

"It's Xiyang who is idle and bored, and I can hear Mr. Min talk vividly, so I came to join in the fun, and I didn't thank Mr. Min for saving me," I sighed secretly and said, "So let Jinping bring me here." ”

Helian Yue didn't speak, looked at the person who knelt on the ground, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Get up." Min Sikong: But a well-known storyteller in Xiqian? When I was young, I traveled in Xiqian and heard your storytelling in Huancheng. ”

"Returning to the country, I have indeed been to Huancheng, but I went to visit my old friends back then, and I have never spoken in the Huancheng wine shop teahouse, besides, if I have really seen such a handsome character as the lord of the country, how can I have no impression? Could it be that the lord of the country is talking about Yucheng? I have lived in the Tianming teahouse in Yucheng for more than half a year. ”

Helian Yue stroked his forehead and smiled, "Yes, it should be Yucheng, it's been a long time, and I can't remember it clearly, I just remember that Mr. was in high spirits at that time, talking and laughing about the joys and sorrows of the world, which is really wonderful." I wonder what kind of books are you talking about now?"

"This is in the following bibliography, please look at it. ”

"The Legend of Bao Xi, Luo Shen Ji...... Liang Zhu?" his voice sank, "Min Sikong, where did Liang Zhu's story come from?"

"Lord of the country, this is a folk tale that circulates in Yiluo Tiandu, even Huangkou Xiaoer can open his mouth to speak, and he is talking about Zhu Yingtai's ......"

Helian Yue interrupted him, leaned sideways into my ear and asked, "Xiyang, have you heard the story of Liang Zhu?"

"Nope. I shook my head and said, "Since even children know it, it must be a fascinating story." Mr. Min, why don't you talk about this Liang Zhu next time? ”

Helian Yue took my hand tightly, and the force made me frown.

"Mr. Min has come from afar, and I should do my best as a landlord. He said, "My concubines want to hear about it, so I will keep Mr. Min for them for a while, I wonder what Mr. Min thinks?"

What else can Min Sikong say? He can only bow and thank you. Helian Yue asked Luocheng to arrange for Min Sikong to live in Xinghuawu, which was only separated by a water from Xiyang Palace.

That water, called the Flower River, is because the banks are full of apricot blossoms. The apricot blossom leaves in summer are verdant and green, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it, so I only imagined it based on what Jinping said. There is a corner pavilion on the flower river, and every day when the sun and shadow move westward, I go to that pavilion and listen to Min Sikong's storytelling.

On that day, Liang Zhu finished talking about the cracking of the tomb and the two of them turned into butterflies and flew together. I sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, silent, expecting Jinping to look from afar under the almond trees outside the pavilion, because I don't like to be watched while listening to a book. Min Sikong would bring a small stove and tea set every time he came back to tell a book, burning a touch of tea fragrance while gently telling other people's stories, and when the plot came to an end, the tea was cooked.

It is the best Biluochun.

"The brown color is light, the green is yellow, moist like jade, and it is hearty, madam, can this Biluo Spring be to your liking?"

I shook my head, "I don't like tea. However, Mr. is good, and Xiyang should receive it. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch the teacup, and just now he clearly heard the sound of pouring tea, and knew the general direction of the cup. Unexpectedly, a slender and powerful palm suddenly grasped my hand, and the thin calluses on the knuckles brushed against my skin, which made me panic and palpitate for no reason.

My face was hot, but he put the cup firmly in my hand, and I couldn't do anything.

"I've met sir before?"

"In the next first time to Sijon. ”
