Ma Xiuying put Zhu Biao on the bed, rummaged through the cabinets and found a spare set of men's clothes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as she put on her clothes and put her hair in a bun, Li Guihua pushed the door and entered, and when she saw a handsome man standing in the room, she was taken aback and hurriedly retreated.

Ma Xiuying immediately shouted: "Come back, come back." ”

Li Guihua heard the woman's voice, stopped and looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "Madam? ”

"Ahem, I have something to do and go out for a while, you stay here and take care of Biao'er with my maid, and his room is next door." Ma Xiuying didn't invite a nurse, she said that whoever brought the child would kiss whom, so she didn't want her child to treat others as a mother. After thinking about it, he asked uneasily, "Will you take care of the child?" ”

Li Guihua nodded, her eyes were slightly red, "Madam, don't worry, the slave's mother went early, the father is running around, and the younger brother is almost brought up by the slave and maid, and the experience of taking care of children is still a little understood." ”

Ma Xiuying handed over a silk handkerchief, "Good boy, don't be sad." In the future, you and your brother will stay in the house with peace of mind, and no one will bully you. You don't have to call yourself a slave, and your father will take you over when he settles down. ”

Li Guihua wiped her eyes and choked up: "Thank you, madam, the slave will do her best to take care of the little boy." ”

Ma Xiuying was helpless, and asked her not to call herself a slave, but she still didn't change her words.

The dim candlelight reflected on her face, the standard melon seed face shape, the high bridge of the nose cast a large shadow, the long eyelashes trembled slightly with her sobbing, the wheat-colored skin showed a faint red pink because of excitement, the slender neck was unobstructed under the coiled bun, the chest had two high hills, and although the waist was not so slender that it could not be grasped, the sides also showed a perfect arc.

Ma Xiuying's heart moved: No wonder Tian Sanhu would beat this girl's idea, I didn't expect that Li Guihua was actually a beauty embryo after washing her face and changing into new clothes. Especially the fair-skinned beauties who are used to seeing Guo Hui and Li Qi'er, and suddenly seeing a healthy and sunny girl is even more eye-catching, this girl is suitable for Yuan Xing. She secretly made up her mind and decided to observe for a while, if Li Guihua's character was good, she would find an opportunity to tell Yuan Xing.

"Master, Guogong ......" Xun Ying returned to the room and saw that Li Guihua was still there, so he immediately closed his mouth.

Li Guihua said smartly: "Madam, the slave maid will take the little boy down first." As he spoke, he gently picked up the sleeping Zhu Biao, supported the back of his head with one hand, and slowly withdrew from the door with the other hand holding his little fart.

Ma Xiuying saw that she was skillful and her demeanor was gentle, so she immediately put her mind at ease and asked Xunying, "Is the master gone?" Which direction to go? ”

"Just out of the door, east."

Ma Xiuying hurriedly straightened her clothes and walked to the backyard.

Xun Ying asked, "Master, don't you take the slave and maid?" ”

"Take you there, who will open the back door for me when I come back at night? Besides, there are so many things in the house, who are you staring at? It's really boring to take care of the standard. Ma Xiuying's feet were windy, and she walked fast.

"But you're ...... alone"

"A talent is not conspicuous." Ma Xiuying said as she walked: "There is also Zhu Wei following, what is there to worry about?" ”

People want to hang out with you. Xun Ying secretly wept, opened the back door honestly, and said very sadly, "Go early and return early, don't let the slave worry." ”

Ma Xiuying didn't bother to talk to her, and hurriedly stepped into the carriage prepared by Zhu Wei, and the carriage chased in the direction that Zhu Yuanzhang left.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Xing were walking aimlessly on the street.

On early autumn nights, the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and the withered leaves and broken petals of the trees flutter in the wind. At this time, people did not have so much nightlife, and the people closed their doors at night, and occasionally some people who returned at night were also hurried home.

As the night thickened, the buildings gradually melted into the night, and the originally well-defined cornices and corners were faintly blurred, like beasts lurking in the darkness quietly extending their strange tentacles. Candles were lit in some rooms, but the light and shadow of the beans could not dispel the darkness of the night, but made people feel an invisible oppression.

Yuan Xing asked, "Brother-in-law, where are we going?" ”

"Where will there be a lot of people?" Zhu Yuanzhang usually has almost three o'clock and one line, home, military camp, and government office, and Yuan Xing is not familiar with the environment in the city.

Yuan Xing was just about to answer, when he suddenly heard the sound of rustling and coughing from under the eaves next to him, and hurriedly shouted, "Who is it?" ”

"The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life!" An old man in ragged clothes slowly came out from under the eaves, and prostrate: "The villain has nowhere to return, so he has to borrow a night under this eaves, and he has no intention of offending the two masters." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Old man, why don't you go to Jingshan Hall and sleep on the street?" ”

After the occupation of Yingtian, Ma Xiuying copied the charity established in Chuzhou to Yingtian, and also set up Jingshan Hall and Nursery School, but the person in charge is no longer Yang Yunhua, and Nizi is now busy training female soldiers.

The old man said dejectedly, "The villain has gone, but the steward there says that it is already overcrowded, and tells us to find a way ourselves." Ahem, the villain had to beg along the street, and one day at a time. ”

It seems that Jingzentang needs to be expanded further. Zhu Yuanzhang instructed Yuan Xing to take out a tael of silver and hand it over, "Old man, I see that you keep coughing, you go to Langzhong first, and then go to Jingshan Hall again in a few days, and someone should take you in." ”

"Thank you, sir, great man." The old man was overjoyed, and after Zhu Yuanzhang left, he immediately bit the silver and discerned the authenticity against the moonlight, and ran to the eaves to clean up the straw mat.

After wrapping the straw mat, a carriage stopped in front of him, and the coachman asked, "Old man, what did the two people who came by tell you?" ”

The old man secretly looked at the carriage in front of him and replied secretly: "Those two well-wishers said that Jingshan Hall will take in the homeless people and ask the villain to go there." The villain planned to go over and ask at dawn. He refused to mention the matter of the silver, and if he was robbed by this unknown coachman, he would lose a lot, but he did not know that his behavior had already been seen clearly.

After a while, a soft female voice came from the carriage, "You go to Jingshan Hall now, just say that Mrs. Ma told you to go, and make sure that someone will contain you." ”

The old man couldn't believe it, and met two nobles in one night. But there is really no need for the other party to play tricks on himself, and the one or two pieces of silver are genuine. If what this lady said is true, then the place where she lives will be settled, and someone will take care of her medical treatment and food...... He hurriedly thanked him and ran to Jingshantang.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Xing didn't know that such a small episode happened later, and the two turned a street, and their eyes lit up.

The lights in the distance are brilliant, especially the lofts built by the water, which are full of lanterns, and the candlelight that reflects each other extends from mid-air to the river, and with the waves constantly shaking, it is already impossible to distinguish where is the real light and where is the reflected brilliance.

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious: "What kind of place is that?" It's so good-looking, it's so lively at such a late hour. ”

"Confucius Temple." Yuan Xing replied hesitantly, how did he come to this place.

"Why is the day different from what we see now?"

Of course it's different, those brothels haven't opened during the day. Yuan Xing said euphemistically: "I didn't light the lights during the day, and I only lit them at night." ”

"Light the lamp?" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "You kid, it turns out that this is Qinhuai Fan Lane, let's go, go over and take a look." He walked forward in high spirits.

Yuan Xing secretly complained, as long as he was a normal man, he didn't say that he didn't want to go to the gold powder building, but if Ma Xiuying knew that he took Zhu Yuanzhang to visit the place of fireworks, he would have to peel off a layer of skin when he went back. But if you don't take Zhu Yuanzhang there, you have to shed a layer of skin now, which is really a dilemma. He could only pray that Zhu Yuanzhang would keep his mouth shut and not reveal his whereabouts after he returned.

However, how did he know that there was a carriage slowly following behind them, and Ma Xiuying saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Xing really walking towards the Qinglou brothel, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "The world is as black as a crow." ”

Came to the bank of the Qinhuai River, but saw a forest of pavilions and dense painting boats. The bank is full of traffic, bustling, and the colorful lights in the river are overflowing with gold. The boatman shook his palms and shouted incessantly, and the sound of the surrounding silk and bamboo soundtrack came and went, and the noise was endless, which was really a world of difference compared to the previous depression of the quiet street.

Approaching and taking a look, whether the houses on the shore or the boats on the water are carved beams and paintings, the cornices leak windows, the indoor light singing and dancing, the red candles are burning, the delicate laughter is endless, and the graceful figures are about enough.

Many women in fluttering clothes leaned against the window and looked forward to being charming, and if a man looked at him, he would smile, which made people reverie.

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river, in the end, it is a place where you are drunk and gold," Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "The people are so miserable, some people eat and sleep in the open, and some people don't have enough to eat, but the rich people here are still in the mood to have fun." Forget it, don't look at it. ”

Yuan Xing couldn't wait to go back early, he hurriedly turned around when he heard the sound, and just took two steps, passing by an attic, he heard a turtle boy greet loudly, "General Chen, General Xie, your two masters are here!" ”

"What are you yelling about, lead the way." A black-faced man reprimanded: "You rammer, how many times have you said it, just call us Master Chen and Master Xie, and next time you dare to shout, I won't chop off your mouth." ”

"Yes, yes, villain." The turtle slapped himself in the face, and walked into the attic with a black-faced man and another long-bearded man.

Yuan Xing took a closer look at the lantern hanging down from the gatehouse, and said in a low voice: "It's General Xie Zaixing and General Chen De." ”

Hearing that his generals also came to this kind of place to have fun, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly became gloomy than that night, and he shouted coldly: "Let's go and have a look." ”

The two followed up in the attic called Tianxianglou, and a woman with a half-curled cloud and a gauze dress immediately leaned over.

Yuan Xing hurriedly said: "We are with the two masters in front of us. ”

The woman stomped her feet in disgust, her red lips curled slightly, "Why did you come to find Yu Suxue again?" ”
