197 Butterfly Club(4)
[Fanwai-Butterfly Club 4] There are people below who are interested in demolishing the platform of Queen Dachu
The county order of Xuanyun Town is named Ma Dashan, and he can't read a few big characters, let alone participate in the imperial examination, and he only got an official position by relying on the recommendation of the king of the court. However, because the master in the house is meticulous and can help with anything, and there has never been a big basket in the trial, the people like this old and rough county order.
Before taking over, the master had already heard the face more than a dozen times, seeing that King Duan wanted to call the prince, don't learn to call the queen what is written in the small book, the queen is called by the emperor, and it has nothing to do with us.
The carriage drove all the way into the county office, Duan Baiyue helped Chu Yuan down, and glanced at Ma Dashan by the way, and his heart was really shocked - the black face, copper bells, eyes and beard, like Zhang Sanye's reincarnation, the appearance of a famous general.
Ma Dashan's voice was like a bell: "The lower officials see the emperor, the prince." β
Chu Yuan's ears were buzzing, why hadn't he seen him for a few years, this person's voice was a little louder.
The master originally taught a lot of things to say after seeing the emperor, Ma Dashan had been anxious before, for fear that he would remember wrongly, at this time, when he heard Sixi say that the emperor was tired and wanted to rest, he immediately breathed a big sigh of relief, and bowed down to say goodbye after sending everyone to his residence, just hoping that he would not be summoned.
The county government's house is naturally not very good, but it is much cleaner and tidy than the inn, and there is even a good pot of tea. Chu Yuan asked, "Why don't you really call that Bai Shaoxia over?" β
"Don't." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "I really don't want to clash with Fengsa Valley, but Yu Jue is bound to get the Soul Piercing Incense, and the two parties will collide head-on sooner or later, so it's better for us to stay away from him." β
"Then you won't help this time?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Let's do what we need to do." Duan Baiyue sighed, "If you are careless in making friends, and you have an unreliable father and younger brother, it is useless to have a headache." β
Chu Yuan wondered, "What does this matter have to do with Yao'er?" β
"Nature is related." Duan Baiyue said, "If he is willing to obediently marry the young lady of the Wind Valley, how can there be so many things." β
Looking at his arrogant expression, Chu Yuan felt that he might be able to find a few more precious fat worms for Duan Yao, after all, with such an elder brother, it should not be easy.
In the inn, Bai Yujue drank half a pot of herbal tea after waking up, and only then came to Duan Baiyue with a yawn, but was told by the guards of the Southwest Mansion that the prince had gone out with the emperor two hours ago.
Bai Yujue exclaimed: "The emperor is here?" β
The guard said, "Yes." β
Bai Yujue sighed: "The fox is a disaster for the country. β
Guard: "......"
Of course, it is also beneficial for the emperor to come, at least there is one more backer. Bai Yujue asked, "Where did the emperor and the prince go?" β
The guard replied, "My subordinates don't know." β
Bai Yujue explained: "I won't come to the door. β
The guard insisted: "The subordinates really don't know. β
Looking at the expressionless face of the other party, Bai Yujue had no choice but to retreat, and told him seven or eight times to tell Duan Baiyue that on the day of the soul incense auction, he had to go to Yunxiao Tower no matter what, otherwise he would be stunned, or not.
Later in the evening, the guards went to the county government and presented this passage to Duan Baiyue.
Chu Yuan heard the conversation between the two in the room, raised the corners of his mouth and continued to flip through the book casually. Duan Baiyue came in and said, "It's already dark, go out and eat something?" β
"You're a funny friend." Chu Yuan said, "Jiao'er Lang should be informal, which is quite a bit of the desert ranger in the book. β
"Get along for a few more days, I'm afraid you won't feel like a desert ranger anymore, but want to send this person to the desert." Duan Baiyue pulled him to stand up, "When it comes to the day when you really want to buy incense, it's not too late for you and me to go and see it, these two days should be regarded as hiding from idleness, okay?" β
Chu Yuan agreed and walked out side by side with him. The night was dark, and most of the spice stalls on the street were withdrawn, but there were still many merchants, and it was not easy to find a stall with fewer people, and only the last two bowls of somen noodles remained, and there were no oil stars at all.
"There's a fried tofu just now, do you want to eat it?" Duan Baiyue handed him the chopsticks, "This bowl of noodle soup is waterless, don't wake up hungry in the middle of the night." β
Chu Yuan advised: "Add some spicy." β
Duan Baiyue smiled and pinched his chin, got up and walked out of the alley.
The business of the fried tofu stall is very prosperous, Duan Baiyue is still queuing, but someone in front of him handed over a pack of fried tofu: "The prince wants it?" β
β¦β¦
"What, you're afraid I'll be poisoned?" Seeing that he didn't speak, the man behind him smiled, "This is what Ah Si just bought." β
Duan Baiyue turned around and said, "Lord Qiao Gu." β
The other party is a young man in his twenties, with white skin and almost transparent skin, thin lips and peach eyes, and it is Qiao Gui, the young valley master of Fengsa Valley.
"Why did the prince come to this town." Qiao Gui asked with a smile.
Duan Baiyue said: "Join in the fun." β
"It turned out to be just for fun." Qiao Gui seemed to be very happy, "I thought it was to snatch the soul incense." β
"Lord Joe doesn't have to beat around the bush like this." Duan Baiyue said, "It's not uncommon to want a baby, just fight according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, if you can't fight, it's your life, and you can't complain about others." β
"In the rules of the rivers and lakes, there is no such thing as using power to oppress people." Qiao Gui leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, "I don't want to conflict with the prince, and I don't want the emperor to be unhappy." β
Duan Baiyue said: "I'm afraid that you have already made him unhappy." β
Qiao Gui frowned: "What does this mean, prince?" β
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Guess." β
Qiao Gui hesitated and looked back, and saw a man in white standing with his arms crossed under a string of red lanterns at the mouth of the alley, the corners of his mouth seemed to be raised, but his aura was a little cold, causing the people around him to want to look but not dare to look, and even his voice was unconsciously lowered a little.
Qiao Gui quickly straightened up.
Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows: "Is Lord Qiao Gu's words finished?" β
Qiao Gui gritted his teeth: "I don't have a sin in the Valley." β
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "Qiao Gu Lord is too careful, I just said that if you want incense, you should follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, it is the valley master who is suspicious and suspicious, if you have to say that the Southwest Mansion oppresses people with power, I just stood here and didn't move." β
"Okay, just follow the rules of the rivers and lakes." Qiao Gui nodded, turned into the path with the family, and hurried towards the other side.
Duan Baiyue walked over with tofu in her hand and said, "False, don't want silver." β
Chu Yuan grabbed his ears and carried the person to a place where no one was.
Duan Baiyue gasped as she opened the paper bag in time and handed it to him.
It smells good.
Chu Yuan took a bamboo stick and pricked one to eat, and interrogated by the way: "What's going on with Fang Cai?" β
"He is the valley master of the Wind Sa Valley." Duan Baiyue said, "The baby kiss that Yao'er set before is his sister, named Qiao Xin. β
"You have a good relationship with him?" Chu Yuan fed him a piece of tofu, "Be careful of scalding." β
"I have a good relationship with him, and we have to walk around when we meet." Duan Baiyue's face did not change, "But this person does like to lean on others, perhaps because Feng Sagu's kung fu is known for shrinking bones." "After shrinking for a long time, it will naturally shrink out of problems, such as not being able to stand straight.
Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Talking nonsense again." β
"I didn't lie to you." Duan Baiyue took his hand and sat on the steps, "I said I wanted to hide before, but now that I can't hide, it just so happens that you and I will participate in a butterfly party openly to see what that soul-piercing incense is." β
"That Qiao Gui just now, it looks like his kung fu is good." Chu Yuan reminded, "Bai Shaoxia may not be able to beat him. β
"This is the Chamber of Commerce, not the Martial Arts Conference, even if you are in the rivers and lakes, you must follow the one with the highest price. But if one side is unruly, the other side doesn't have to be moral. Duan Baiyue said, "In terms of kung fu, Yu Jue may not be as good as Qiao Gui, but when it comes to crooked ways, no one is his opponent." β
Chu Yuan frowned: "If there will be chaos, can you order the government to strengthen its vigilance?" β
"Not really." Duan Baiyue said, "Yu Jue and Qiao Gui are both on the right path of the rivers and lakes, even if they really want to fight, they will avoid the people, and they will not cause more trouble to the butterfly meeting this time." β
Chu Yuan nodded, and stuffed most of the remaining half of the tofu back to him: "Let's go, go back." β
"Not a little longer?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"You don't have to be on the street, there are a lot of people coming and going here, and it's not comfortable." Chu Yuan held his hand, "Returning to the county government is quiet." β
On the way back, the two bought a pot of wine and a pack of lo-mei, and listened to the wind and admired the moon on the corridor in the backyard of the county government, which was indeed more comfortable than outside.
The wine was very strong, and after three lamps, Chu Yuan leaned on his shoulder, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand and swaying it lightly.
"What are you thinking?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Think about the days we're going to come." Chu Yuan said, "Is it like this time, you don't have to do anything, just drink and talk." β
"It's a pity that Xiaoman hasn't grown up yet." Duan Baiyue straightened his hair for him, "Otherwise, I really want to take you back to the southwest now." β
Chu Yuan replied in a low voice, and handed the wine cup to his mouth. Duan Baiyue raised her head and drank it all, and then a warm lip flap came up.
People will be drunk but not drunk, the moon will be hidden, and even the wind will carry incense. After a lingering kiss, Duan Baiyue hugged him into his arms, slid down with his right hand, and unbuckled his belt.
Knowing the preferences of the emperor and the prince, Sixi sent the surrounding guards elsewhere early in the morning, and waited at the door by himself, feeling quite good, and even began to unconsciously think about what kind of comfortable and leisurely situation it would be if he returned to the southwest mansion with the emperor in the future.
This small courtyard is extremely quiet, with a loved one by his side, time flies, and he will not feel boredβat least Chu Yuan.
A dilapidated chessboard in front of him, Duan Baiyue supported her cheeks, sleepy-eyed, accompanied Chu Yuan to study the endgame left by the ancients hundreds of years ago, and by the way, she was glad in her heart, thanks to the butterfly meeting tomorrow, otherwise if you let yourself watch this thing for two more days, it is estimated that you will be blind when you touch it.
Chu Yuan picked up a chess piece and said casually: "If you are sleepy, go back to sleep." β
Duan Baiyue said firmly: "I'm not sleepy. β
Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed his drooping eyelids open, amused: "Really? β
Duan Baiyue entangled and asked for a kiss.
Chu Yuan pushed the person away with one finger and asked, "Do you want to learn to play chess?" β
Duan Baiyue immediately sobered up for the most part, naturally not wanting to.
"Then sit honestly." Chu Yuan leaned into his arms, "Don't move." β
Duan Baiyue agreed, yawned with her chin on his shoulder, and fell asleep in less than half a cup of tea, and the whole person pressed over.
"Don't make a fuss." Chu Yuan smiled and bumped into him, and the two rolled on the soft couch together, sweeping most of the chess pieces off.
Sixi stretched out his hand and quietly and quickly closed the courtyard door. And Bai Yujue, who finally came to the door, was also coaxed and tricked by the guards to forcibly take away from the tree, and no one paid for the scratched sleeves, and he had to worry about whether Duan Baiyue would be able to get up tomorrow, which was very sad.
The emperor was going to the Butterfly Club, and Ma Dashan had prepared a private room in advance, facing the platform, with a clear vision and not easy to be noticed by others. Although Mingxiang was the last to bid, Chu Yuan wanted to see the excitement, so Duan Baiyue brought him over early in the morning, ate a plate of dim sum and drank two pots of tea, and someone struck the gong above the stage.
The people sitting in the private room are all VIPs, and every piece of spice auctioned will have a sample sent up, Chu Yuan lowered his head and sniffed it, and said, "It's not good, it's a little rushed." β
"You like elegance, this is naturally not suitable." Duan Baiyue said, "But the things that can be put on the stage today are all rare, and people have robbed everything." β
"That's good." Chu Yuan put down the second piece of incense, "I bought it and gave it to Xiao Jin." β
Duan Baiyue nodded and ordered the guards to go down and pay the silver. The more the spices in the future, the more valuable they are, Chu Yuan had never participated in this kind of activity before, he thought it was very fun, and when he encountered a good smell, he bought it, and wanted to send this to that, and finally even the pig killer in the Southwest Palace also had a box of rouge incense.
"Okay, you can't make any more trouble in the next piece, just sit down." Duan Baiyue held his shoulders behind him.
"Is it soul incense?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue nodded.
Spices are scarce, and very few samples are sent, and they are almost invisible on red silk, and they don't smell much, and they don't know why they are so valuable.
Bai Yujue sat under the stage, his right hand secretly holding the hilt of the sword, his eyes fixed on the piece of spice. There is a white moon here, he is not afraid of fighting with the other party for silver, the big deal is to lend it first, and then pay it back slowly in the future. But I'm really afraid that Qiao Gui will rob it - the stakes are very high, and it is better to have no accidents or no accidents.
The audience was silent, and Chu Yuan said: "It seems that there are many people who want this incense." β
"You'd be wrong." Duan Baiyue said, "There are not many people who want incense, but there are many curious people." Yesterday, when you and I went to the streets, almost everyone was saying that there were people in the rivers and lakes who wanted to snatch the soul incense, and since the news had already spread, the ordinary businessmen would not interfere anymore, you just had to wait and watch Yu Jue and Qiao Gui fight. β
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man with a big belly stood up, patted the melon seed shell on his clothes, and said arrogantly: "No matter how much silver there is, this Xiangben Uncle wants it!" β
Duan Baiyue: "......"
Chu Yuan patted his cheek: "What should I do, it seems that someone is deliberately trying to demolish the platform of Queen Chu." 166 Reading Network
