I took part of the day for a few days to hurry, so that I could enter the city and rest well at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Stop-and-go, no other troubles. Although I have seen a lot of foreign customs, but His Majesty does not go out of the inn, I also surround him most of the time to take care of him, and at night I have to stay in the room to gnaw on ghosts and cultivate the way, at most I can see the scene outside when I am in the carriage aisle.

The weather was particularly hot this year, and His Majesty's wound was still waterless, so I was worried that I would be infected by sweating on the road, so I did not hurry. In the afternoon, they each stayed in their rooms to rest, and after I cultivated the ghost path, I didn't like such a sunny day. In addition to the heat like a steamer, the hot pain of the sun on the body is unprecedented.

I was crooked on the soft couch, with the candied fruit that His Majesty had given me on my belly, and I pinched one in one hand, and I could gnaw on it for a long time in small bites. In the other hand, he held the book of the ghost cultivator, and Baba looked at it.

After all, ghost cultivation is different from the Immortal Dao, and if humans are able to cultivate, they are going against the path, and there are many taboos in it. Xuanling asked me to be optimistic about the relevant precautions before the cultivation of the 28th Sutra, and the province will suffer a dark loss in the future.

When I ate the second candied fruit, I shook my stomach and noticed that the sound in the wooden box was even more muffled than before. I looked down and sighed infinitely, let's eat the last one today!

As I was looking at it, a pair of hands reached over, lifted the wooden box on my belly, and twisted a candied fruit.

My eyes chased the candied fruit to His Majesty's face, paused slightly, and his evil qi converged, and he sat up hurriedly: "Why isn't my brother resting?" ”

When he saw me move my position, he sat down beside me as if he was used to it: "Isn't this candied fruit delicious?" ”

I hugged the box: "It's delicious!" "This is my only snack, and it was given by my brother, so I cherish it naturally, and I eat two pieces a day, and I have planned it!

He took it casually, not at all as grateful as I was, and buckled the noose: "Why haven't you finished eating it yet?" Didn't give it to Ji Yunqing? ”

"I'm going to show him, it's gone eight hundred years ago! I can't even help it. I rolled up the books in my hand, threw them on the edge of the soft collapse, and planned to go down from the soft collapse to completely make room for His Majesty, and said while putting on my shoes: "Remember the previous brother, I was a little greedy for the jade walnuts every day, and dragged a bag back outside, just to bathe the dog for a while, and there were piles of walnut shells left in the room, and none of them were left for me."

！ If it hadn't been for Xuanling to stop me, I would have turned my face with him! ”

As I spoke, I looked back and noticed that he was tilting his head, his eyes narrowing slightly, listening almost gently, and smiling sullenly: "How old is it for a noisy meal." ”

Your Majesty seems to be smiling a lot lately, and it's extremely difficult for people to hold it.

He used to always look at me indifferently, asking me to roll as far as I wanted, and the more than ten years of getting along in my previous life were not as many smiling faces as I gave during this time. Could it be that people have experienced more things, and when their mood matures, they become more tolerant and open-minded? After all, he is also a person who has ascended to the high position of the emperor.

I looked at him again suspiciously, and as I looked at it, my heart pounding. It's like carrying a little chick in his arms, struggling while screaming scum.

His Majesty's eyes can be said to be the best in the world, and when he is careless and half-restrained, he has a sense of contempt and confusion, and he is born cold and distant, like an unattainable god and Buddha. Smiling slightly, the inky eyes seemed to be quenched into the lake, shining and gentle.

Only then did I realize that His Majesty had unconsciously broken into my boudoir again, and it was not good to always talk about him, so I coughed twice and took two steps back uncomfortably: "What my brother said is that I will join him directly next time." ”

His Majesty glanced at me, as if measuring the distance I had pushed away with his eyes, and without saying anything, he leaned on the soft collapse with his sleeves.

probably heard that my residual anger towards Ji Yunqing was still there, so I didn't put on a stand of exhortation from my elders anymore, supported me with one hand, and casually stroked the hair that fell in front of the placket, and followed my nonsense words: "Well, if there is a next time, you can beat me if you want to, if he doesn't cooperate, call me." ”

As soon as I heard it, there was still a little bit of fire! Two steps forward. I even forgot the difference between men and women, half-squatted in front of the couch to pinch his shoulders, and smiled: "Brother Shengming!" "Paused, "But it's not that I have nothing to sue, bother your brother with such trivial things, I don't have an opinion on Ji Yunqing, but I just leaked out of my mouth for a while." ”

Your Majesty's eyes slowly settled on my face, almost focused: "I naturally save this, don't you like him." After a while, seeing that I didn't answer, he looked away again, "Later, when the sun is not so strong, I will take you out for a walk." There are a lot of interesting things in Hancheng, so it depends on whether you are happy to go or not. ”

At first, I was a little embarrassed to hear His Majesty say that, and I didn't know how to answer. But the later topic was what I liked, so I was cramped and hurriedly replied: "Willing, I'm willing." ”

Your Majesty snorted, turned around and lay down on my soft floor: "Now rest for a while, and if you want to sleep, go to bed." ”

I was dumbfounded: "Brother, aren't you going back to the room?" ”

He turned his back to me: "It's cool here." ”

I really don't know what to say, a big man in the room, how do I lie down in bed! But I can't make up my mind to drive him, I don't have the guts.

After a long sigh, he moved to the table in front of the window and sat down, continuing to study.

A quarter of an hour later, His Majesty turned and faced in my direction again.

I wasn't sure if he was going to sleep, so I didn't say anything after I looked at him.

However, His Majesty took the time to glance at me and said casually: "Reading? ”

I said, "Hmm. I just hope that he can find out in his conscience and inform me, so that I will not be so "diligent" at this good time for lunch break.

After waiting for a moment without waiting for a sound, when he looked up again, His Majesty was already asleep, breathing steadily

In the afternoon, only the cicadas chirped, and I watched His Majesty's excessively harmless and peaceful sleeping face, but gradually I could hear other sounds, hitting my eardrums one by one, just as my heart beats.

I frowned, rubbed my heart with my hands, didn't dare to look at him anymore, and went to read with all my heart.

……

I specially changed into new clothes, and stopped Ji Yunqing before going out happily.

"You're going out now?"

His Majesty hadn't gone downstairs yet, so I naturally still had time to chat with him, so I said to him even more joyfully: "My brother said to take me out to play." ”

He may already know, his expression was slightly resentful, and he confirmed that he would ask again: "Don't take me?" ”

I also guessed that he would want to follow, and mentioned it to His Majesty: "But my brother said that there are many people in Hancheng, and he can't take care of two people alone, and I am the more obedient of the two, so he took me with him." ”

Ji Yunqing sighed and sat there silently.

I looked at it, a little pitiful for him, and said: "I go out with Your Majesty to play, you go out to eat, let's not do the same, it's a pity, I want to open some!" After all...... "I had a flash of inspiration in my mind, and I gave him the jade walnut, "by the way, you can take Xuanling with you." ”

Ji Yunqing didn't respond, and his eyes didn't move.

A sneer came from the jade walnut: "I'm not going." ”

The two of them have been like fire and water recently, Ji Yunqing still looks like he doesn't put people in his eyes, and Xuanling is even more angry when he sees him. I thought I didn't have to worry about them getting too close, the main problem. It is necessary to mediate the relationship between the two first, otherwise I will just listen to Xuanling's complaints along the way.

Ji Yunqing didn't accept or resist, and he had to start with Xuanling.

I untied the jade walnut: "I'm afraid the paper money to be burned tonight is not enough, so I have to buy some to say the least." "There is a limit to the amount of paper money that Xuanling can pick up every day, because if she picks it up, she has to find the nearest underworld trading house to save it, and she can't save too much at one time, otherwise it will attract attention and investigation. Now that she has a special identity and is being chased and killed by ghosts, she naturally has to be cautious. Therefore, I calculate the amount of paper money every day, and I am anxious to burn more and less pages a day.

As soon as she heard that it was related to money, Xuanling's attitude changed completely: "Can't you go out and bring some back?" ”

"It's not that it can't." I shook my head, "Your Majesty suddenly said to take me out, with his temperament, he still has other things to do, in case of delay, this time will pass, won't it be delayed." You follow Ji Yunqing out and read it behind his ear, don't worry that he won't burn it for you. ”

Xuanling was silent for a long time, and floated out of the walnuts without being happy: "I've often suspected that he can't hear me at all. ”

I let out a long grunt.

Ji Yunqing turned his head and said, "I can hear it." ”

I cautiously said, "That...... You burn paper for her, and she accompanies you to eat? ”

"Hmm."

"Okay."

It's a great achievement to finally settle this endless bickering.

……

Hancheng is really lively, it is already night, and it is still a prosperous scene

There is a small river across the street, on which countless flat boats float only with the water, and in the middle of the water there is a particularly beautiful flower boat, which can be brightly lit on the shore. Most of the boats were women, and between talking and laughing, laughter and laughter spread to the shore through the waves. Or some men are attracted by the sound, and when they cross the bridge, they deliberately slow down their pace, they want to see but dare not look at it, and they look very interesting.

I looked: "These girls are not very old, I'm afraid they haven't been out of the cabinet?" How could his family rest assured that they were playing outside like this? "If I get out of school and go crazy outside and don't go home and get caught, I don't need to say anything, it's just a meal of fried meat with bamboo sticks. My father said that women should stay at home.

Although I don't agree, I'm still afraid of fighting, and when I see people living so wanton and chic at a young age, I am particularly envious.

His Majesty surprisingly didn't explain anything to me, and after a pause, he walked around to the other side of me, blocking my view, and said nonchalantly: "Maybe it's not long after dark, and it's time to go back after playing for a while." ”

I nodded and stopped looking.

I came from a poor country, and then I lived in a boudoir, and I never saw the world. After seeing that beautiful flower boat, I was very happy, but in order not to lose His Majesty's face, I barely showed a disgraceful appearance, and looked at the many novelties on the side of the road with a solemn face.

I thought that His Majesty would take me back when I had had enough, but he had no intention of turning back.

Naturally, I wouldn't remind him that he was holding a rock sugar gourd in his left hand and fried chestnuts with sugar in his right hand, and he was very happy to follow him.

Skirting a street, His Majesty, who was walking in front of me, suddenly turned back and took the sugar-fried chestnut from my hand.

I thought he wanted to eat some, so I strongly recommended it to him: "This chestnut is fried well, fragrant and crispy." ”

His Majesty was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before taking a peel and eating it.

I took a bite of the rock sugar gourd: "How?" It's delicious! We don't have this to buy, the chestnut raw materials are not as fresh as here, and it can't be tasted when fried by yourself. ”

His Majesty's hand was lowered, and he grabbed me without warning, and said casually: "It's okay." ”

My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly became cramped, and I didn't know where to put my eyes, and then I heard His Majesty continue: "There are many people in the place where you are going to enter in a while, and you have to follow me." ”

Suddenly, I lowered my head and answered twice.

Nearby, the shouting is not at the same level as the outside. As soon as he arrived at the door, a little guy bent over and stepped forward with a sneer: "Yo, son, the face is tight, the first to come back?" Come on, please come in. ”

I was hidden in the cuffs by His Majesty's hand, and the whole person was blocked by him, so that the little guy didn't see me at first.

His Majesty hummed, and was about to walk inside, when I looked up at the plaque, and was surprised for a moment, but I followed in.

There were mostly men inside, playing pai gow in groups around the square table. In the main lobby, there is a long table, and there is a man standing in it shaking a Gu in his hand, and there are men with different expressions gathered outside, and his eyes stay on the hand of the man in the middle as if they are glued, and the scene is hot.

Such an atmosphere shocked me speechlessly, and I only dared to follow His Majesty without saying a word.

His Majesty didn't let me go, and asked me if I wanted to play, and after I said with a dry smile that I was still over, he led me up, and he played with two dice by himself

I'm also surprised, I didn't expect Your Majesty to have this hobby, so I carefully avoided other people, occasionally glanced at the piles of hanging money on the table, and muttered in my heart. But he stayed with me for more than an hour, and I couldn't wait even this time, so I stayed in peace.

After a while, there was a commotion at the door. After a woman entered, she was escorted in by someone to avoid the crowd, and she didn't look at it all the way, and went straight to the second floor as if she was in a hurry.

It turns out that there are still women playing here.

When His Majesty saw me look up, he took the time to glance at me and said, "But you think it's boring?" ”

I didn't want to spoil his interest, so I said, "It's okay, I haven't seen it before, it's okay to see it." ”

His Majesty laughed twice: "There are mostly women upstairs, some playing cards and some drinking tea." If you get bored, I can send you up to sit down and eat something to pass the time. ”

I hesitated for a moment: "That...... I'd better go up and wait. ”

His Majesty led me upstairs again.

Upstairs is much more secure than below, and there are many more screens, and the little guy led the way and ordered some snacks.

I sat there and peeled two melon seeds, thought about it, and said to His Majesty: "I won't run around when I sit here, you can go play." ”

His Majesty had just poured himself a cup of tea, and when he heard the words, his expression became a little subtle, and he said, "Don't worry." ”

Not long after, a woman's thin voice came from the screen: "Xi'er, why hasn't this Chun'er girl arrived yet?" The appointed time has passed. ”

Two maids stood near their table at the screen, one whispering a few words to the other, and the smaller one withdrew. The older Fang replied: "The hour has just passed, we have already sent someone to urge, madam, and wait a little longer." ”

The woman, who was called Madame, had a good temperament, stood up, took two steps around the table, and began to talk with the other three again.

One of the women said: "Mrs. Lin doesn't like to play dice the most on weekdays, why is she going to play horse tags today, don't you have a lot of fun playing this?" ”

"It's embarrassing...... Circle to play a round, the dice can be opened several times, the men are also enthusiastic, everyone coaxes together, if you win, I don't know how interesting. ”

"How do you ...... that?"

Mrs. Lin laughed and sat down: "It's not the one in the family, I'm jealous, and I said that I was close to the man." If I hadn't agreed to just play this, I wouldn't have been allowed to go out. ”

Everyone inside covered their lips and grinned, and somehow I grinned along.

Mrs. Lin changed her words and looked out, "Even if he is busy with business, he can only come out to play for half an hour, but why doesn't Miss Chun'er come." ”

There was a gap between the two screens, and the maid Chun'er stood outside, pinching her sleeves nervously when she heard the words, and when she saw me looking at her, she met my eyes at a glance.

When she was happy, I was slightly stunned.

Xi'er walked around the screen and walked to me, and said to me: "Miss is here for the first time?" Can you meet up with friends? ”

Mrs. Lin naturally heard it, and turned her head one after another, and could vaguely see it through the screen

I said, "Oh, no. ”

She was even more pleased: "Mrs. Lin's table happens to be missing someone, if Miss is convenient......

I interrupted her, "I don't play cards. I was deeply worried, "If my dad found out, he would break my legs!" ”

Xi'er's expression was embarrassed, where was the pestle if she didn't advance or retreat.

Mrs. Lin is addicted to gambling as much as her life, and she laughed twice and said: "Xiaoyou is very interesting, since you have entered this gambling house, it is impossible to wash up whether you play cards or not." If you have to be beaten, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to be beaten again? ”

When she said that, I thought it made sense.

Daddy definitely won't be able to beat me, but I grew up with such an education and can't let go. After hesitating to refuse, His Majesty threw out a stack of silver tickets: "Go play, it's okay, I'm waiting for you here." ”

As soon as His Majesty opened his mouth, I looked at his silent face for a long time, thinking about his sentence, if you don't play dice, you have to wait for me, and I will have a score in my heart.

He came for Mrs. Lin.

I held the silver ticket and blinked, Na Xi'er smiled, came up and pulled my wrist, and instantly changed her words: "Madam, your husband has spoken, what are you afraid of, let's play two games." ”

I was dragged raw, and I was confused and listened to them explain to me how to play, which was easy to learn.

I couldn't help but think in my heart: How should I deal with this Mrs. Lin, what does Your Majesty want me to do?

I'm stupid, brother, tell me next time, okay!

After a few laps, I didn't have these distractions, and my mood calmed down. But the three people opposite, their faces became more and more ugly.

"Mrs. Gu, are you really playing for the first time?"

I drew a card, looked at the game, and then remembered and explained: "That's my brother, I haven't come out of the cabinet yet." Hey, it's me big again, hey, hey, hey, he ”

In fact, this card is very easy to play, a total of forty cards, I remember each card to go out, naturally you can know what cards they want to play. Adjust the cards you want to play accordingly, if it is not for the bad luck, it is almost impossible to lose.

Mrs. Lin looked a few years older than me, and she played extremely fiercely, and she began to increase after losing a few games. I was a little weak at first, but then I was safe with the silver ticket my brother gave me, and I added it.

Anyway, from the deal, I knew if the game would be won.

Coming and going, I have to say that this kind of thing is really interesting, the time passed unconsciously, I collected a sum of money, and heard Xi'er come in and urge: "Mrs. Lin, your father-in-law is waiting at the door." ”

Mrs. Lin's face was not very good when she lost the money, and she waved her hand: "Just say that I will go back in another game." ”

I was also reluctant in my heart, so I hurriedly dealt the cards.

After a few more rounds, we felt a chill in our backs, and when we turned our heads, we saw a man standing nearby, although his face was delicate, but there was no expression at all, and his eyes were very impressive, faintly revealing a trace of coldness.

I was frightened, and when I looked at it, all the other women stood up and saluted him, but I was the only one who sat dumbfounded.
