Chapter 503: Qin Lou
Shen Huayu looked at him calmly and asked, "What do you and Lu Qi want to do when you come to Sunset City?"
Chu Xianzhao said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, I'm here for your good." β
Shen Huayu rolled her eyes with a grunt, leaned into his ear and asked cautiously, "Don't you and Daddy want to rebel, right?"
Chu Xianzhao rolled his eyes, neither admitting nor denying it.
Shen Huayu grabbed his sleeve a little nervously and whispered, "Do you know? β
Chu Xianzhao pursed his lips and said, "Of course, if you rebel, you have to kill your head." β
Shen Huayu glanced at Shen Chuxia, who was sleeping in the corner of the carriage, and asked straight to the point: "There are some things that I don't dare to ask you when my father is here, I don't dare to ask when Lu Wei is here, and I don't dare to ask or want to ask when I am in the manor." But now I'm going to ask you what you're doing in Sunset, if you want to rebel, you'll kill a lot of people, why don't you come here in Nanlu to do it, if you have an awkward relationship with your family, what if you go back and bow your head and admit your mistakes?"
Shen Huayu said as she spoke, her voice was a little crying, and she grabbed his arm tightly and said: "I don't want to give you to the royal family in order to save my mother and father when the East Window incident happened, although they are all bastards, but after all, I am from Qingguo." β
Chu instantly glanced at the girl, his face slowly fell, and his voice became gentle, "If it's really that day, will you give me out?"
Shen Huayu's cheeks flushed, and she looked at him with a blank eye and refused to speak.
Chu Zhao flicked it to her head, completely ignoring her resentful eyes, and said softly: "If there is really such a day, I hope that you will personally supply me to Empress Zhao and them, saying that I am forcing you to do such a thing, and scold me as hard as possible, just like your father-killing enemy, only if you do this, it is possible for the royal family to spare you, maybe not...... But I still ask you to do it, this is an order, not a request. β
The blush on Shen Huayu's face suddenly faded, her pretty face turned snow-white, and she leaned on Chu Xuanzhao's shoulder in a dejected manner, and said in a blank voice: "I don't know...... I don't know ......."
Chu Xianzhao said softly: "There is now a high wall between me and my father, and the name of this wall is the Daqing Dynasty. It's not that I can't go home and kneel in front of him immediately and beg him to forgive me, when the time comes, there will definitely be many people who will come out to intercede for me, maybe he will forgive me as soon as his heart softens, but what if I go back, my father will still lead the cavalry south, he is the top chess player, everyone is a chess piece in his hand, no one can beat him, and only I dare to turn his face against him and flip the chessboard. I have left the Yin Kingdom three times in total, this time it is three times I came to the Nanlu side, here along the way I know how strong the strength of the Daqing Dynasty is, there are six vassal states standing behind the Zhao royal family, this time, my father may not have the opportunity to defeat so many dynastic forces
The impact of the battle of Concubine Pass is to poke a few more leaky holes, Daqing lost the dragon and chased the world, the general trend of splitting the territory is good, the external influence is good, the internal troubles are good, even if I don't come to Qingguo, this dynasty will be overthrown sooner or later, your father and Lord Lu Qi hope that I can do this pair of hands to overthrow the Daqing Dynasty, and only in this way can I tear down this wall, with thousands of troops to face my father, and fight to the death with him again!"
After a moment, Shen Hua asked, "Why don't you try to reconcile with your father?"
Chu Xianzhao's eyes were confused, he spread his hands, and said in a frank voice: "There is no reconciliation between me and him, even if I overturn this wall, but there is a poor woman's corpse buried under the wall, a woman who loves me so much that she doesn't care if she dies for me, do you think I can really stand on her corpse and shake hands with my father to make peace?
"Maybe that's what she wants you to do?"
Chu Xianzhao glanced at her coldly.
Shen Huayu had seen his gloomy gaze when he shot to kill, but how could he have ever landed such a gaze on himself, and a huge grievance suddenly appeared in his heart, and he bit his lip and remained silent.
Chu Xianzhao took his gaze off her face, changed his relaxed tone, and said with a smile: "Anyway, you can watch the excitement in the future, although you may not believe it when you say it, but if you really want to be captured by the royal family because of me, I will desperately rescue you, and I will do what I say." β
"It's like a hero who robbed the law field for a beauty in Romance?"
"Well, I think I'm still a bit of a hero. β
"What about me, what about me? Do I have the temperament of a heroine?"
"The temperament of a woman, when you practice flying swords in the future, don't scare others, you will be very heroines, you must be cold and understandable, women don't like to talk, and the white-clothed fluttering hands hold the three-foot Qingfeng with a shelf, which is very good at scaring people. β
Shen Huayu grinned at Chu Xianzhao, like a little fox spirit who had been cultivating in the deep mountains for many years.
Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but stroke his forehead and said: "What did I tell you just now, the heroine wants to be cold and cold, how can you be cold when your eight teeth are exposed." β
"I'm going to be the kind of woman who can laugh and laugh murderously.
"Okay, Shen Nuxia, bow down to the wind. β
In fact, Chu Xianzhao has always felt that Shen Huayu does have a bit of arrogance as a woman from a family, but she doesn't have a sense of scheming, sometimes she is very comfortable to get along with, and sometimes she feels a headache.
There are special tailors in the Shen family's manor to sew clothes for the ladies and ladies in the manor, but Shen Huayu still wants to take Chu Xianzhao out to buy a few sets of materials and take them back to make clothes
A hollow-eyed nerd, he couldn't tell him why the color of the material was good-looking, Shen Huayu didn't bother to ask him in the end, and helped him choose a few materials that she thought looked good, anyway, she wouldn't feel distressed when she spent it with the eldest lady's gold card.
Shen Taisui told her when Shen Huayu was very young that the family's money can be spent outside, anyway, no matter how you spend this money, it will still enter our family's treasury, Shen Huayu did not do less when he was young, and saw a beautiful style of rouge gouache in the rouge shop in Luoyang City, and he was happy to let his subordinates put this style of rouge gouache home in a carriage, and sent it to his subordinates to use it when he couldn't use it, resulting in the servants in the Shen family's manor being dressed more beautifully than the ladies and ladies of some rich and noble families in the city, and they naturally looked arrogant when they walkedγ
I have to say that Shen Huayu's action of buying silk fabrics was as fast as a tornado, several guards with knives became cloth guards, even the carriage was stuffed with silk fabrics, and almost half of the materials of the silk Zhuangzi were bought back by her, seeing Chu Xianzhao was dumbfounded, she wanted to change her clothes for an hour, and could she buy so many clothes?
Spending money like flowing water can no longer describe her actions, this little rich woman spent silver is simply a stream of 3,000 feet, a penny of copper can be converted into a drop of water can drown people.
Speaking of a penny, Chu Xianzhao suddenly remembered the girl who sat by the snow and played the pipa that night, poor and strong to survive in this city.
Among the millions of people in Daqing in Luoyang City, she is just a small grass growing next to the snow, and no one knows that she has been trampled on and mixed into the dirt.
It is not easy for women in troubled times to survive, they don't have much choice but to hold a man's hand, but no matter how tightly they hold it, the man's hand will let go at any time.
Shen Chuxia was still looking at Chu Xianzhao's face intently, until now, she still felt that Chu Xianzhao didn't look like her father at all, but when she thought of her little demon-like sister, she always had a look of adoration in front of this illegitimate son, although his swordsmanship was really good, this alone was enough to attract her sister.
"In the future, follow Miss Ben to take you to eat and drink spicy food. Shen Huayu crossed her waist and looked at this illegitimate brother who was a head taller than her, posed like a little rich woman, and said proudly: "There are only a handful of people in Luoyang City who dare to provoke Miss Ben!"
Chu Xianzhao looked at the traffic on the street attentively, and couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard it, and said in a preachy tone: "You also said the same thing in Guhe City, if it wasn't for me by your side later, you might have been bullied by others." β
"Don't mention the past, I'll take you and my sister to eat delicious food. β
Shen Huayu covered one side of his ear and posed as if he didn't listen, and with the other hand, he grabbed Chu Xianzhao's sleeve and pulled him to run up on the official road, and Shen Chuxia was carrying his skirt behind them
Trotting to keep up.
At this time, it was already noon, and the middle doors of the restaurants on both sides of the road were wide open, and the shouting of Xiao Er and the fragrance of food were everywhere.
Shen Huayu asked the hotel shopkeeper for a private room for dinner, just to avoid encountering a bastard like Zhao Song again, there are many children of the family who know her in Luoyang City, and there are some unsightly goods who come to talk to her at any time.
Chu Xianzhao found that dragon-related decorations can really be seen everywhere in this Luoyang City, even the sugar people bought on the roadside are mostly flying dragons, and the pillars of the restaurant are full of dragon-related pattern decorations, which makes him even more surprised.
In this way, there are a lot of eagle eagles in the Yin Kingdom, except for the Hou Chu Dynasty with the Ding as the flag pattern, everyone likes to draw animals on the flag, thinking that they can get their courage in this way.
Soon, plates of food were served, and Shen Huayu moved his chopsticks very quickly, sweeping the dishes on the table like a wind.
Shen Chuxia didn't know how many times she had kicked Shen Huayu under the table, and finally couldn't help but say that she didn't look like anything since she was a snack, Shen Huayu looked at her with rice on the corner of her mouth, and said with a big grin What is the sixth sister always doing, there is only my brother here and no outsiders.
When the plates on the dinner plate were piled up in the shape of a small mountain, more than half of the dishes on the table went into Shen Huayu's stomach.
Chu Xianzhao savored the dishes on the Nanlu side, and found that the people on the side of Luoyang liked sweet and spicy, nodded and said: "The food in Luoyang City is quite delicate and delicious, and the truth of not getting tired of eating can be felt in every dish, and some flavors still have to be tasted slowly." β
Shen Huayu replied to him with a big burp, Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, Shen Chuxia glared at his sister lightly, and began to wash a cup and make tea, his light and agile technique was pleasing to the eye.
Chu Xianzhao is now very much like a child of a family in the city, and after he is full of wine and food, he begins to taste tea and enjoy it.
With the tea soup in his stomach, Chu Xianzhao said something that was in line with his current situation, "Gu I am now a mourning dog, and I am willing to be at ease." β
Shen Huayu glared and said, "Hey, didn't the Shen family give you good food and drink now?" Can't you read a poem well?"
Chu Xianzhao thought for a while and said: "Raw incense smoked sleeves, live fire to divide tea, cook tea and stay in the sunset." β
Shen Huayu nodded at this time, and said with a smile: "This is like words." β
Shen Chuxia blinked her soft eyes, listened carefully to the verses that Chu Xian summoned and said softly: "Grinding white jade, weaving red yarn." Cho fried astragalus, bowl twisted dust flowers. β
Chu Xianzhao gave her a thumbs up and said, "Yes, the language of flowers says that you are like a stuffy gourd, I didn't expect you to read poetry, sister." β
As soon as these words came out, Chu Xianzhao's waist was gently pinched by Shen Huayu, and the other party rolled his eyes and said, "Are you provoking feelings between our sisters? Be careful that I punish you."
Nine Clans. β
Shen Chuxia knocked his sister's head and said, "Don't talk to your brother like this." β
Chu Xianzhao hummed lightly and said with a smile: "I don't know if you are my Nine Clans, if you are, I would be happy to watch you take your own head." β
Shen Huayu said angrily: "You two are bullying me for reading less, hmph, I finally found a brother, the sword is better than me, forget it, even read more books than me, you don't give me face." β
"It doesn't matter how much you read and how much you compose poetry, reciting poetry is to see the aura, otherwise you can also read a poem, and I will give you a comment. β
Chu Xianzhao felt that it was very relaxing to not talk about the major events of the war, and it was also very relaxing to drink tea and discuss poetry like this occasionally, Shen Huayu nodded lightly, and said with a radiant expression: "I thought of a poem, you have to give me a good comment."
Shen Huayu cleared his throat and said loudly: "The rich can't be lewd, the mighty can't be bent, the poor are alone, and the rich are full of wives and concubines!"
Chu instantly summoned a puff and almost sprayed tea on Shen Huayu's face.
"There is another sentence, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the iron rod will be sharpened into a needle-"
Shen Chuxia's face turned red as soon as he brushed the ground, reached out and pinched his sister's ear, and said with a straight face: "Shen Huayu, you are really becoming more and more lawless when you talk and act, you can say such shameless words?!"
Shen Huayu's ears hurt, she looked at Chu Xianzhao pitifully, and hurriedly asked for help: "Brother...... You say that I can recite poetry if I have aura, or ...... You give a review. β
Chu Xianzhao gave a thumbs up and said: "It is worthy of being Shen Taisui's biological daughter, and if you are rich, your whole family will be scolded by a group of wives and concubines, and it can be regarded as talented,"
Shen Huayu grinned at Chu Xianzhao, revealing her cute little tiger teeth and said: "Brother you understand me! It is worthy of the trust of our father in both civil and military affairs, by the way, I thought of a poem again - with colorful phoenix wings, plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken!"
Shen Chuxia twisted the ground even more fiercely, Shen Huayu stuck out her tongue and winked at Chu Xianzhao and smiled.
Chu Xianzhao didn't understand at first, but then laughed.
A plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken, isn't it talking about yourself today?
Chu Xianzhao moved his gaze from Shen Huayu's face to the window, and saw the pavilions in Luoyang City standing upright like sharp swords, the buildings standing up like steps, and the Daqing Palace was at the top of the steps, and thousands of golden dragon flags were flying and dancing in the snow wind.
He looked at this city that was extremely strange to him, and felt that the arrangement of fate was really bizarre, if he had been killed a year ago, he would never have imagined that he would sit in the city of the setting sun and accompany the two girls to drink tea and talk about poetry.
He smelled the distant smell brought by the snow wind, towering heavy buildings, thousands of households, and he was like a lone eagle strayed into a strange forest.
The Qinhuai River, which runs through the city, is like a giant around Luoyang City
Snakes, when night falls, countless boats will appear on the river, and courtesans with heavy fat powdered faces will emerge from the cabin, singing beautiful boat songs, attracting the sons of the families on the river bank to come on board and drink the same glass of wine.
Chu Xianzhao felt that this river was very familiar, which reminded him of the Huailiang River in Lin'an City, in his opinion, Luoyang City and Lin'an City were the same, wrapped in a layer of glittering gold-encrusted jewels on the outside, but there was disgusting rotten flesh and blood hidden inside.
If you have a lot of money, these places are heaven on earth for you, and if you are penniless, these places are like Yellow Springs Purgatory for you.
He began to miss the people in Lin'an City, in the city where everyone would call him His Royal Highness, everyone would treat him as a hero, Su Nianyu, who always looked at him with affection and affection on the pipa, raised his eyes on Tai'an Mountain to look at the flower Youyue who didn't know what he was thinking about, Xiao Yuan'er, who would show his smile every time he appeared, and the first year of Helian...... As his only male friend...... He also died in that rebellion, and he told himself to do the best show in the world, but his body was buried under the pile of dead people.
Since then, he has never seen Helian in Lin'an City, how he hopes that one day, he can see the young man as delicate and moving as a rose on the stage again, with the makeup of a concubine on his face, looking at him with all kinds of style.
He had always believed that Helian did not die in the first year, at least in his heart.
Now that the three of them have eaten and drunk enough, it is time to go back to the Shen family manor.
The three of them walked directly down the winding stairs, and the diners in the restaurant pointed at Shen Huayu who was dressed up, and their hot eyes kept sweeping over her, and they were glared back by Shen Huayu.
The guards opened the way for the three masters, and when they reached the second floor, Chu Xianzhao suddenly heard a familiar sound of pipa, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and was stunned on the spot.
He didn't see any flamboyant beauty with no hands spinning, but the cardamom girl he had seen on a snowy night sitting alone in the center of the hall, with a wine table around her on all sides.
The girl sat on a low stool with a lute in her arms, and a black umbrella was placed at her feet.
Almost all the guests who ate in the Longhe Tower were all beauties with heads and faces in Luoyang City, with high brocade clothes and high crowns, fox fur sachets, no need to speak, only arrogant, pointing at the silent girl holding the piano in front of her, feeling that her appearance was really difficult to enter her own eyes, and some people even shouted very shamelessly to take charge of replacing this ugly girl and finding a beautiful one to play the pipa.
In the face of the rude guidance of many drinkers, the girl was still indifferent, gently stroking the strings of the old lute.
