The night fell and enveloped the entire city of Beijing.

The lights in Xie Fu's room went out for a long time.

She slowly closed her eyes, and the dream she hadn't visited for a long time knocked on her tonight.

Mother Gao sat in front of the mirror table, holding the ink of the thrush in her hand, tracing little by little.

So, Xie Fu seemed to see Gao's appearance when he was young.

There was also her newly bought clay doll on the mirror platform, and the two little dolls with red faces and grinning were beaming.

Xiao Xie Fu stood behind her, and was about to throw himself into Gao's arms.

However, when she ran over, it was as if she had hit a transparent wall, and she slapped the wall so hard that her little palms turned red, and the wall did not move.

"Mother!"

She cried out heartbreakingly.

With another slap of the hand, the invisible wall in front of him suddenly turned into two carved wooden doors, and the deadbolt inside was tightly chained.

The crack in the door is still so small that only a little bit of gaze can be seen.

She saw her mother hanging three feet of white silk and hanging herself on the beams of the house.

Xie Fu slapped the door vigorously and shouted loudly, not wanting to be locked out by the Gao family.

She wanted to save her mother.

Four or five hands stretched out behind her, and dragged her away from the door, and she clung to the door frame, but where could her little arms compare with these rough strong men and mothers-in-law?

In the blink of an eye, she was dragged out of the courtyard.

At last glance, she saw the mothers-in-law standing indifferently outside the door, and no one went up to knock the door open.

"Mother, mother......"

Xie Fu's heart ached, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

There seemed to be a warm yellow light moving in the darkness, Xie Fu opened his eyes dimly, and saw the full moon holding a lamp, hastily draped in a coat, and stood at the head of her bed.

"Girl, are you having a nightmare?"

Nightmare?

Xie Fu would rather this qiē be a nightmare.

She rubbed her temples, sat up with the brocade quilt, and the dim light shone, and the brocade quilt was full of shadows and shadows, and the ruyi pattern also flowed with brilliance.

"What time is it?"

"I just knocked on the bangzi, and it was only when it was time to arrive."

Full Moon whispered.

Xie Fu thought for a while: "At this time, you are probably already in the court, right?" ”

"The old man got up in the sedan early in the morning and left, and the old lady is still asleep, so you don't have to say hello for a long time, you better sleep for a while." The full moon tuck her horns.

Xie Fu listened, lay back and closed his eyes.

"Remember to call me tomorrow morning, Yun Niang should also come to tailor clothes."

"Yes."

The full moon answered, and seeing that Xie Fu had closed his eyes, the porcelain white skin was dyed a little warm under the light, but it was not necessarily pale.

With a slight sigh in his heart, the full moon walked back to the outside room, gently blew out the light, and the room was dark, but the window was bright.

The crescent moon hung crookedly, a piece of whiteness.

On the avenues of the capital, every household is still asleep.

The officials of the imperial court all got up early and rushed to the palace before dawn.

Gao Gong pondered, in the matter of the flood in Huai'an Mansion, Zhang Juzheng did not raise the bar with him, and after the next court, he invited Zhang Juzheng to go to the Qianqing Palace together, to meet the emperor and talk about this matter.

Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, was dressed in an official uniform, with long eyebrows and sideburns, and a big beard, his eyebrows locked, his lips pursed, and his face was stern.

Gao Gong walked away, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Why is Uncle so sad? Although the flood in Huai'an Mansion has not subsided, I heard that yesterday your granddaughter Lizhu took the opportunity of her birthday to hold a big charity fundraiser. Blessed are the victims of the disaster in Huai'an. ”

Uncle is Zhang Juzheng's word.

After all, Zhang Juzheng was familiar with Gao Gong, so he couldn't hear the sarcasm in this sentence, he sighed: "Please don't make fun of Yuanfu." After all, Lizhu is young and ignorant. Yesterday, I was pestering me for a long time about that painting, and I sued her for the reasons before and after, hoping not to make the juniors suspicious. ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he actually laughed.

"Hahaha, uncle, uncle, you are younger than me, and you are really an old fox. But you have to say it all, but what about your little girl who is off the pearl? Fun, fun! “

The high arch strokes the palm.

The eunuchs around him hung their hands, only their ears out, and their eyes didn't dare to look around, let alone make a sound.

The west of the Qianqing Palace is the Yangxin Palace, and the door of the Yangxin Palace is the duty room of the celebrant to the north.

At this moment, the sound of the piano came from inside.

When the string rises, if the forest spring is high, the birds chirp; When the string falls, it seems that a hundred rivers return to the sea, and the waves are silent.

Roll out with one hand, and there will be a sound of beads.

The surrounding silence and the bustling palace were like empty mountains for a while.

"Hahaha......"

The sound of Gao Gonglang's laughter came from far away.

The hand that stroked the qin suddenly stopped, the joints stiffened, and the fingertips pressed against the strings, and with a shake of the nails, one of the strings was broken.

There was a "crash".

The little eunuch who was waiting next to him was shocked, and hurriedly came up: "Grandpa Feng! ”

The Fuqin person is dressed in navy blue, with cloud patterns rolling on his body, and the hem has a five-poison motif pattern.

The hands pressed on the strings, the roots are white, it can be seen that the maintenance is proper, the skin is smooth, and it is comparable to the twenty-eight girl.

At this moment, the tip of the finger was red.

Another eunuch cleverly brought a tray with a clean hand jacket in it.

Feng Bao, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch, only swept it, took the hand from the plate, pressed the small mouth that was bleeding from his fingers, and asked in a long voice: "Is it a senior scholar outside?" ”

"Exactly. It sounds like something from yesterday. "This eunuch was waiting outside just now, so Shunfeng could hear it quite clearly.

Yesterday's incident?

Feng Bao's eyes narrowed, and he removed his hand, and the small wound was no longer bleeding.

The status of the celebrant is now almost equal to that of the cabinet, and the eunuch with the palm seal is the head of the eunuch, which can be called the "inner minister". As for the eunuch Bingbi in the second position, he is in charge of the East Factory.

Whatever is going on inside and outside the palace, it can't escape the spying of Dongchang's ears.

Yesterday, the Gao University Scholar's Mansion was very lively, and they had already reported to Feng Bao's nose.

He knew exactly who said which thing.

What can make the tall beard smile so happily is probably the matter of his good granddaughter.

"Interesting. The little girl didn't give our family face back then, but now she has given face to Miss Zhang's family. Let's take a look at whether the paintings she made are worth three copper plates! ”

Feng Bao had a deep smile on his face. Although he is a eunuch, he is not young, but his skin is not bad, and he is quite beautiful when he squints his eyes and smiles.

The two little eunuchs who were waiting glanced at each other, and they only had the same thought in their hearts: Miss Lizhu of the Zhang family was afraid that she was going to be unlucky.

It seems that Gonggong Feng still holds a grudge against a copper plate given by Xie Fu back then.

Feng Bao raised his hand and handed the bag out, and the little eunuch hurriedly took it. Feng Bao flicked his fingers and dusted off the dust on his pipa sleeve.

"By the way, the Buddha beads that the prince got yesterday have already been given to the concubine?"

"It's been delivered, and the concubine has a smile on her face this morning."

When Feng Bao heard this, he laughed inexplicably, and glanced at the broken strings on the piano table: "The two adults have gone, so I can't say that our family has to go too." ”

He started and walked out of the duty room.

At this time, the sky was already full of light, the morning dew was hanging on the treetops, and the palace and the palace were all busy.

In the backyard of the Gao Mansion, Xie Fu got up and had already washed up.

After eating for himself, he took out the bird food and fed Yingjun before going back to the house to drink tea.

She didn't sleep very well last night, and she woke up a little trance this morning, and when the little maid brought Yun Niang in, she had just put down the teacup.

Yun Niang came in and gave Xie Fu a salute first.

"Yun Niang has seen the second girl, and I said hello to the second girl."

"Yun Niang, please get up, I will give you a better trip." Xie Fu raised his hand and asked Yun Niang to get up, "Many of the clothes in my cabinet are old clothes made last year, and the full moon reminded me that I should make some new clothes this year." In seven days, it will be the Fayuan temple meeting, and I want to be dressed for the occasion. ”

Although she is the most powerful embroidery girl in this part of the capital, Yun Niang herself is dressed ordinary, with an ordinary moon-white narrow-sleeved skirt with a black flower skirt, and I don't see much embroidery work.

In the early years, Yun Niang's appearance and craftsmanship were a must, but now that she is older, she will inevitably decline, and her age is similar to Xie Fu's mother, and she has not yet been married to someone in her thirties.

I heard that Yun Niang made a grand wish to the Buddha that she would not marry in this life.

Yun Niang stood in the room and nodded slightly: "The second girl asked me to embroider clothes last time, and it was all a matter of last year." The flowers bloom late this year, and the day when the Fayuan Temple will start, I am afraid that it is also the best time for Xiangxuehai. Yun Niang embroidered a lilac with a lake green background for you, right? ”

"Last year, it didn't happen to be a good time, and the flowers of Fayuan Temple were thanked when they said thank you. This time, I can take the opportunity to take a good look. ”

Yun Niang is an expert in making clothes and embroidering clothes, Xie Fu naturally will not refute, and smiles kindly at her.

"Then there is Lao Yunniang."

The full moon brought a soft ruler to be measured, and when I heard this sentence with a smile from my young lady, I only felt helpless.

Yun Niang's embroidery, in the home of the dignitaries in the capital, is basically not used to wear, it is to be made into an embroidery to hang up and embedded on the screen.

But what about your own lady?

said that if you make clothes, you will make clothes, and she will even agree.

Yun Niang herself said that it was Xie Er's natural hanger, she looked good in anything, and good clothes were made for her to wear, so it was not wasted.

Fortunately, this word did not spread, otherwise I don't know what trouble would have happened.

The full moon is clear, Yun Niang said in private that no matter how good the clothes are for those people in the palace, they are all defiled, so they came out of the palace.

The full moon is to admire this embroidery girl from the bottom of my heart.

She put her things down and said, "Our young lady has pulled out a lot of body in the past year, and I ask Yun Niang to measure it first." ”

Yun Niang squinted her eyes and smiled kindly.

Xie Fu looked at Yun Niang's smiling face, gentle, and couldn't tell that he was a person who could say such a thing.

Perhaps, everyone who seems to have a mild temperament has a very strong and hard heart, right?

For example, Gao's.

Xie Fu got up, let Yun Niang fiddle, raised his hands, and was slender, and he was very envious of the slightly chubby girl who saw the full moon.

Yun Niang said that her girl is a hanger, and she really doesn't fake it.

The full moon was coming out of her mind, "Tuk Tuk", the little girl outside knocked on the window lattice, and the full moon glanced at Xie Fu, who was still talking to Yun Niang, and walked out quietly.

After a while, the full moon returned.

Yun Niang put away the measured size: "The new clothes will be sent to you on the fourteenth, Yun Niang will not bother much, and I will leave first." ”

Xie Fu nodded, personally sent her to the door of the house, and beckoned again, the little maid by the door went up and waved at Yun Niang, leading Yun Niang away.

Seeing Yun Niang's back disappear from afar, Xie Fu retracted his gaze and walked towards the house.

"Got news?"

Full Moon took out the two letters hidden in his sleeve and presented them to Xie Fu: "A letter from Yancheng." ”

Xie Fu took it, and there was only a big ink dot on the outside of the two letters, and when they were opened, there were two more envelopes inside.

This is to prevent others from seeing it, and to cover it up.

The two new letters, one read: Yancheng Governor Chen Yuanbai Miss An; The other letter reads: The second girl opened in person, Huo Xiaonan.

When the letter came, it should mean that the matter had been done.

Xie Fu's lips finally dyed a little smile, and he walked under the window to open the letter and read it.

"Chen Yuan is also a clever ghost, the squires and salt merchants in Yancheng, this time he will be killed by him."

"Didn't you say before that this person was stupid, wasn't he a person who did great things?" The full moon is strange.

Xie Fu said: "People will always change. ”

As for this Chen Yuan, it has become better.

Huo Xiaonan was her long-term follower who did good deeds and was adopted by her side, born in an opera troupe, and her martial arts were quite passable, so she was sent out by Xie Fu to run errands.

Now that the letter has arrived, the person has not arrived, so he must have sent the letter back first to reassure himself.

Xie Fu thought about it in his heart, opened Huo Xiaonan's letter, and it was full of witticisms: What worship the second girl, Yancheng's little splash is amazing, ouch, who eats the brain is full of fat, and the buttocks have become eight-petaled......

Xie Fu couldn't support it.

As soon as the full moon saw Xie Fu's expression, he knew, "It must be Xiao Nan who started to crook his mouth again." Alas, you too, a good one, rose up to save Xiao Nan, and now you are using your own private money to do the business of Na Laoshizi, and ask the slave to say, isn't it good to buy two more beautiful clothes? ”

"In the early years, when I passed by Fayuan Temple, I made a vow in front of my master that I would do a good deed in the month and accumulate good deeds for my mother, how could I be sloppy?" After Xie Fu finished reading the letter, he handed it to the full moon, "Seeing that the fifteenth day of this month is also approaching, Xiao Nan has finished this matter, and this month's good deeds are also over." ”

Full Moon took the letter, put it in the box, locked it with a small lock, and put the key in his personal purse.

She pursed her mouth: "It's not so exaggerated to do a good deed in the month, right?" ”

Xie Fu poked her forehead: "I look at you, I just can't bear the silver." Hurry up and pack up, fifteen temple fairs, I still have an appointment. ”

"If you know how to be a lover, that's ......"

Full Moon knew that Xie Fu was the master of Fahua Temple, and he was about to say that the heroine would take advantage of the temple fair to ponder and choose a good husband.

didn't think about it, but glanced out of the corner of his eye, but suddenly found a shadow flashing under the window.

"Who's out there?!"

The full moon drank sharply.

Xie Fu turned his eyes and looked over, stared for a moment, walked over and gently pushed open the window, and glanced under the window.

Not a single person.
