In the carriage, Zhong Ziyuan nestled motionless in Guo Chengsi's arms, her amber eyes were lazy and half-squinted, like a lazy cat that had eaten and drunk.

Her body was light and delicate, and it was indeed not much heavier than a cat in his arms. His arms tightened and tightened, wishing he could embed her in his body and never leave him again.

I don't know if I feel hot or stuffy, Zhong Ziyuan's little face was flushed, and he subconsciously struggled. Guo Chengsi hurriedly loosened it again.

This month's intimacy has made Zhong Ziyuan familiar with this warm embrace, and she is also very attached to this embrace, and only in this embrace will she occasionally have some consciousness.

As the carriage was moving, Guo Chengsi gently stroked her sideburns from time to time, or tidied up the thin blanket on her shoulders. His lowered eyes were particularly deep, full of tenderness.

Qing Dai looked at the two of them with blank eyes, and suddenly said, "Master Guo, you will get out of the carriage later, you can't treat Miss like this anymore." After all, she is still Yun Ying's unmarried girl's family, if people see her grinding with your ears and temples like you all day long, I am afraid that it will ruin her reputation. ”

Guo Chengsi raised his eyes violently and swept coldly towards this mouthy girl, his eyes were as bright as knives that made Qing Dai tremble in fright. Despite this, she still bravely met his gaze without flinching. Guo Chengsi smiled helplessly, and said depressedly: "Got it." ”

Qing Dai's eyes widened in disbelief, and she mustered up the courage to say such a thing, waiting to accept his thunderous fury. Who knew that not only did he not get angry, but also accepted it so calmly. Now it's Qingdai's turn to be at a loss.

She frowned, rubbed her palms uneasily, and cautiously raised her eyes to look at Guo Chenghe. "Actually, that's not what I meant. I just think that the neighbors around me used to think that our young lady was a man, and it was natural to walk closer to you at that time. But now that Miss has resumed her identity as a daughter, it would be inappropriate for people to see her so close to you, in fact, you can come to see Miss secretly. As long as people don't find out," Qingdai was already incoherent, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

Guo Chengsi said with a smile and a smile: "Miss Qingdai, do you want me to be close to your young lady." Or just throw it away, so as not to ruin her reputation. ”

Qing Dai's face was full of confusion, and while wringing the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, she said pitifully: "Me." I. I don't know. In fact, she was not only moved by Guo Chengsi's infatuation with her own young lady, but also worried that the identity of the young lady would not be worthy of this handsome and vigorous uncle. Maybe she will end up with a gloomy and sad end, which is why she is so entangled.

Guo Chengsi smiled helplessly, and then said categorically: "Don't worry! I won't sneak up on your young lady. If I want to see her, I must be above board, and I will never let her reputation be damaged in the slightest. With his personal promise, Qingdai's eyes became extraordinarily bright.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Despite his reluctance, Guo Chengsi gently moved Zhong Ziyuan into Qingdai's arms. He said in a deep voice: "You have to take care of your young lady these days, and let those secret guards report to me if there is anything." ”

"Hmm." Qing Dai hurriedly straightened up her waist and held Zhong Ziyuan's shoulder steadily.

Guo Chengsi once again reluctantly helped her fix her sideburns, and didn't care whether she could hear it or not, she only said gently: "Ziyuan is good, you can go home soon." When you get home, you must also take your medicine on time, and you can't deliberately grit your teeth. I'll come to see you when I have time. ”

Of course, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't give him any answer, but her eyes that were originally half-squinted suddenly widened as if she was frightened. Guo Chengsi felt that the hem of his robe was tight, he looked down, only to find that at some point, the hem of his robe slipped to her hand, and she immediately grabbed it tightly. She grabbed so hard that the green tendons on the back of her hands burst out.

Guo Chenghe's heart was sour and happy, he reverently wrapped her little hand with his big palm, and whispered: "Are you showing your reluctance to me?" ”

Poor Qing Dai was sandwiched between the two, and her round face became hot and red, like a roasted shrimp, and her eyes didn't know where to put it. Fortunately, Zhong Ziyuan still didn't speak, her eyes slowly narrowed again, and the hand holding his robe gradually loosened.

Guo Chengsi had to smile helplessly, looked at her deeply again, and then turned around and jumped out of the carriage. The coachman immediately raised his whip, and the carriage rolled again with a gurgling grunt, heading deeper into the alley.

Guo Chengsi got out of the carriage, and a Zhucui canopy carriage that had been following behind immediately stepped forward, and Guo Chengsi got into it neatly. I saw Rong Xi holding a luxurious dark purple wide-sleeved robe and waiting in the car for a long time

The banks of the canal were crowded at the moment, except for a few men dressed as sons and servants, more women were dressed up or showy, or pretty and cute, or gentle and elegant.

In addition, there were more than a dozen rich ladies dressed in luxurious clothes and taper hats, each with a group of pretty maids by their side, adding up to at least fifty or sixty people. These people held themselves noble and didn't want to be crowded with those civilian women, so they subconsciously formed a group and gathered on the other side of the dock.

It is this group of fat swallows, thin, and colorful pretty women who squeeze the originally wide wharf to the brim. The black pressed piece looks crowded and quite spectacular. At this moment, even the air on the pier became extremely sweet, full of the smell of fragrant cakes, sachets, incense skewers, and all kinds of rouge and head oil.

So much so that hundreds of cargo ships and passenger ships on the wharf are all congested together, those who want to go ashore can't get up, those who want to unload can't unload, and some anxious merchants jump on the deck and scold!

Immediately, a spicy girl was not to be outdone and scolded the past, and the merchant still wanted to have a few strong theories, but more and more girls joined the scolding camp. For a time, countless groups of warblers and swallows attacked it, forming a strong and indestructible huge air current, forcing the merchant to be powerless to parry. I had to retreat into the cabin, not daring to show my head again.

So the other big and small boats were honest, and had to anchor quietly on the shore. Waiting for the culprit who caused all the women in Chang'an City to commotion, so that the docks were completely paralyzed, to show up.

The girls' eyes were anxiously shuttling across the river, and the sun gradually shone out a thousand golden rays, spilling its heat on the earth. Because of the gathering of people, the temperature around has also risen a lot. Those well-prepared rich ladies are okay, not only have maids around them to pat fans, but also prepare sour plum milk. Mung bean soup, osmanthus nectar water and other thirst-quenching drinks.

And the girls who came alone became miserable, and their faces were dazzled. His body was also drenched with sweat, and even his carefully combed bun was falling apart. But they were afraid that the favorable terrain they had occupied would be robbed by others, so they did not dare to move a single step. So the sweet air was gradually mixed with the pungent smell of sweat, this rich and pungent smell. It's really unbearable. Many sons and brothers pinched their noses and complained bitterly.

So the anxious girls began to whisper: "Why haven't you come yet?" Didn't you say that the hour was coming? It's all too late, but not even a mast has been seen. ”

"It's not a bluff! I wasted my five dollars of silver in vain. ”

"I said your hair was so smooth that even a fly couldn't stand it, so you poured a bottle of hair oil on it."

"Phew! You're still laughing at me, look at the rouge on your face, it's almost catching up with that monkey's fart. ”

"I'm a monkey fart? See that I don't screw your mouth, so that you will come back to the poor mouth and glam. ”

"Good sister, spare me this time! Don't dare next time. ”

Just as the girls laughed. Suddenly, a faint sound of silk and bamboo came from the surface of the lake, and there was a sudden silence in all directions. Immediately, someone cheered: "It's coming, it's coming, it's finally coming" The girls who said this were the girls who had long been looking through the autumn water.

"The sound of this silk bamboo is really graceful and beautiful, like a bay of clear spring singing in Dingdong." The people who said this were those sons and brothers on the shore who had always liked to be vassals and elegant.

Gradually, the sound of silk and bamboo became closer and clearer, and finally a small but incomparably delicate two-story painting boat appeared in front of everyone.

I saw that there were several red lanterns hanging on the high mast of the painting boat, and three big characters were written on them, "Meixiang Pavilion". There is also another huge rose-red lantern with a large "leaf" written on it.

On the first floor of the painting boat, more than a dozen women wearing neon costumes and long necks are dancing. Their long sleeves flying, or bending their waists, or flying, or stretching their arms, or twisting their waists are extremely charming, extremely feminine, and extremely luxurious dances.

On the second floor of the painting boat, you can clearly see several women playing, playing and singing, and in the center sits a beautiful woman in white clothes, with only a ribbon to tie her hair, and a slender body. is half-squinting starry eyes, slender jade hands like onions, plucking quickly on the strings. A wonderful, ethereal piano sound came to everyone's ears through the water, which was exceptionally quiet and ethereal.

"It turned out to be her, the last Oiran Ye Meisu."

"Doesn't it mean that she is not as good as a servant girl next to the prince of Shu in terms of appearance or piano skills? How can she still have the face to come out and show her ugliness? ”

"I heard that Mei Xiangge's business is not as good as before, so this Ye family hid for a few months, intending to defeat the woman who made her ugly that day."

"A prostitute, a servant, they are all half a pound and eight taels, what is there to compare."

Immediately, some girls scoffed, and although their mouths were extremely mean, their eyes revealed mixed emotions. Those ladies no longer pay attention, no matter how stunning and luxurious her appearance is, she is just a prostitute, and these rich daughters still disdain to take her in their eyes.

But whether it was on the shore or on the boat, all of them stretched their necks and looked at it, and they didn't even dare to blink their eyes, for fear of missing a glance. Some rude men also let out strange screams, cheers, and cheers from time to time

Ye Meisu turned a deaf ear, her attention was on the piano in front of her, and she turned a blind eye to the sneer, amazement, coveting, slander, and contempt on the shore. It seems that she will appear here suddenly, just to play the piano

In the midst of one beautiful song after another, a huge steamer finally appeared in front of everyone. At the bow of the boat stood a handsome man wearing a golden wide-sleeved robe and a delicate jade crown on his head, looking radiant, it was Zhu Yi, Prince Rui, who had been away from Chang'an City for a long time, and the women on both sides of the strait immediately cheered. Zhu Yi smiled and beckoned to the shore, which immediately attracted a scream from the shore.

Ye Meisu also stood up excitedly and instructed the helmsman below: "Go up." ”

"Yes." The helmsman immediately adjusted the direction and let the painting boat go towards Zhu Fei's official ship. Ye Meisu stood at the bow of the boat in the wind, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar figure in a daze, letting the river wind blow her long hair, letting her dress be blown hunting, and letting tears blur her beautiful eyes. She just looked at him stupidly.

Finally the painting boat caught up with Zhu Fei's official boat, Zhu Fei lowered his eyes and quietly looked at Ye Meisu on the painting boat, frowned, and said lightly: "Didn't you call someone to inform you a long time ago, don't you come to join in this excitement today?" Why are you still here? ”

Ye Meisu didn't expect that after such a long time of separation, the man in front of him not only did not have a little lovesickness, but was so cold and affectionate. She panicked. Busy with blessings, he lowered his eyes and said: "It's the concubine's mistake, the concubine heard that the prince came back today, so she couldn't care about anything, she just wanted to see the prince from afar, but she didn't expect it to make the prince so unhappy, and the concubine confessed to the prince here." ”

Before the words fell, two strings of crystal tears slid down her white and flawless face. Zhu Fei saw that she had lost a lot of weight, her slender waist was not in her hands, and her body in a white dress was blown by the river breeze, and she was still trembling slightly. He softened his heart and said, "Well, let your ship follow!" ”

"Yes." Ye Meisu trembled and agreed. The helmsman who drove the painting boat did not need her orders, and immediately turned the bow of the ship and honestly followed behind the official ship.

Ye Meisu raised her eyes and carefully looked at the tall back in front of her, seeing that he never looked back at herself, her thoughts immediately turned into a mess. In a panic, she couldn't help biting her lower lip tightly with her thin white teeth.

As a woman, she already clearly felt Zhu Yi's growing estrangement. She knew that she was an inferior prostitute, so she never dared to think about Zhu Yi's position as the princess or the side concubine. But according to Zhu Fei's infatuation with himself, it should not be difficult for him to redeem himself and take him into the palace as a concubine, and enjoy the glory of pampering.

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Yi left Chang'an City, he became more and more cold and negligent to himself. Even he secretly left Chang'an without telling her.

Ye Meisu was full of vigor at that time, relying on that little bit of arrogance, and didn't want to take the initiative to ask him to change his mind. But that night, Zhu Fei appeared with Xue Ji and slapped her hard. Her proud appearance and piano skills have all been compared. Only then did she realize that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky. There are people who are more beautiful than themselves and have more ability than themselves.
