Chapter 13 Peach Blossom Pond
Shuishi Qiao walked for a long time, and Liuli was still staring in confusion.
From realizing the relationship with Shishi, to the sudden outburst of emotions between the two, to the current confession, everything came too quickly, and it happened when she was completely unprepared and could not predict.
Originally, love was not in the process of her life for the time being, it was a pure accident.
Her only purpose is revenge. But she had to admit that the recent events had disturbed her heart. If she accepted the stone, it would mean that everything she had planned for three years would have to change, but she couldn't give up.
How could she, immersed in her own happiness, let her sister's cold bones be buried alone on Huangquan Road? How can she let her sister's heroic soul be lonely and forever forgotten? That's so selfish!
But if she refuses the stone, she suddenly finds that she is reluctant. She liked him, but now was not the time.
On the first night of the eleventh year of Qicheng, she had insomnia, tossing and turning until dawn, and only squinted for a while. When I woke up in the morning, I had two dark circles under my eyes, I looked haggard, but my cheeks were slightly flushed. So, even though she heard that Xiao Zhen was coming, she decided not to meet, and only asked the maid to report it, saying that she was a little cold yesterday, and although her body was fine, she had to sweat in the house.
Shui Shi Qiao naturally knew what was going on with her, and was happy that she didn't go to see Xiao Zhen, so she accompanied the guests for a while, and went directly to the rudder of the Cao Gang in Tokyo. This kind of rudder is bright and dark, the bright one is for the court to see, and the dark one is for one's own real use. He went to the dark rudder this time, because the people in the bright rudder have all gone home for the New Year, and they will not come back until the Lantern Festival.
At the same time, after Xiao Zhen left, Wen Ningzhi personally came to explore Liuli.
"Alarmed the father-in-law, but it's really the daughter's." Liuli personally served the tea, and the etiquette rules were not bad at all, but it revealed appropriate estrangement. "Actually, I just didn't sleep well, I couldn't get up in the morning, I was afraid that His Royal Highness King Jin would laugh, so I just found a random word."
Wen Ningzhi looked at Liuli's dark circles, and there was no other doubt, but he hesitated, "Are you like this, can you still go out tomorrow?" ”
Liuli wondered, because although she recognized her father-in-law, she usually didn't have much contact with Wen Ningzhi. Even please. Wen Ningzhi is also exempted. The relationship between the two is limited to taking what they need in terms of interests, of course, Liuli still has a secret purpose.
"Where are you going tomorrow, is there anything important?" She asked.
"In previous years, on the third day of the new year, I would go to Mingshan and give incense to the Xuan family and the Huo family." Wen Ningzhi sighed, "Because you entered our mansion at the beginning of this year, I originally wanted to take you over, all the courtesies." But now ......"
Tokyo Metropolitan City. There are eight gates, four of which are the main gates, which are not open unless special occasions or when the emperor goes out on patrol. The terrain of the capital is long and narrow. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side holds water, according to the feng shui master, it is a place where the dragon is hidden, and it is extremely expensive.
Weishui is to the south. It goes around the city, then meets three other great rivers and flows eastward. North Izan. There are hot springs, good scenery, the highest terrain, and it is the garden and mountain villa of the royal family. The long mountain in the east, the mountain is gentle, and the common people travel and love to go there. Out of the west city gate, there is a large natural peach blossom forest outside the city, and in spring, the scenery is beautiful. But thirty miles to the west, Mingshan is Yinshan, that is, where the family tombs of the high-ranking families are located.
The traffic in Tokyo extends in all directions, and straight official roads have been built outside the city gates, leading to all parts of Dazhao, but no one deliberately goes out of the west gate to play on Ming Mountain. The mountain is said to be "Ming", which is the same as the word "Immortal", revealing a gloomy atmosphere. Only in previous years, Qingming or Ghost Festival, there are many people who go to Mingshan.
Outside the West City, the only exception is Peach Blossom Pond.
It was an "entertainment place", built in that peach blossom forest. Liuli has never been there, but I heard that the building is beautiful and the decoration is very luxurious. The girls in it are all stunning, and there are all kinds of fun items. Only you can't think of it, there's nothing you can't play. Liuli had thought before, how could anyone dare to build a store in that place? Although it is still thirty miles away from Mingshan, it is not so auspicious when you think about it. During the day, you may look beautiful and go deep into the peach blossom forest. But at night, don't you feel the wind gusting? Besides, the peach blossoms only bloom for one season, and when it comes to the other three seasons, where is there still beauty? But if a businessman wants to make a lot of money, doesn't he have to take into account the psychological feelings of customers? However, the business of Peach Blossom Lake is very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a night and night song.
Later, she heard who the owner of Peach Blossom Tan was, so she was not curious. That kind of demon, you don't have to think about whether it's normal or not, because it's an abnormal existence in itself.
That's right, Xiao Yu, Xiao Shiyi, Peach Blossom Pond was opened by him. It is said that at first, it was just for his own convenience, and he disliked the lack of taste in other people's places, and it didn't suit his own mind, so he simply opened his own one. It is also said that the Peach Blossom Desert is where a lot of money is spent, but it is full of friends day and night, and it is the most profitable businessman in the capital.
Of course, it can't compare to the gold and silver mines of Linshan Junwang, but if you are not rich, you can't enter the door of the peach blossom class. It's only been open for three years, and the big businessmen who come to the capital to do business, or the high-ranking officials who gather privately, if they don't go to Peach Blossom Lake, they will be extremely faceless.
"Father-in-law, I'm fine, I can go with you." After thinking about it, Liuli said, "Before, although my daughter also worshipped Mrs. Huo in Ailianju, it was not a formal occasion after all. Reasoning, I'm going to visit the shrine too. ”
Wen Ningzhi wants to play an affectionate widower, she doesn't care. But my sister is indeed buried in the ancestral grave of the Wen family in Mingshan, she has always wanted to go but did not dare to go, for fear of revealing her feet, isn't it just the opportunity now? I recognized the way, so that I could officially move my sister's grave in the future. My sister belongs to the land in the northwest, and she should go back sooner or later.
"Really? Don't hold on. You are still young, and if you are not careful, you will suffer in the future. Wen Ningzhi showed that he loved the righteous daughter very much.
In fact, he was happy in his heart. If Ruri really shook his head, he would have to think of something else. Tomorrow, no matter what! In short, his position is here, and the word filial piety is pressed up, and he is afraid that Liuli will resolutely oppose it? And he, on the third day of the first month of the previous year, he would go to Mingshan, so all his actions were logical, and there was no suspicion at all. What's more, he still has to give up on himself.
"Then you have a good rest today, and I will send my mother-in-law to call you early tomorrow morning." Wen Ningzhi stood up, "Later, I will ask your aunt to instruct the kitchen to stew something warm for you to eat, so as to save you the chills on the road." ”
"Thank you, Father." Liuli does not shirk and looks exceptionally docile.
After Wen Ningzhi left. Liuli asked the maids to pack up the things they had to bring for the day. Tossed until the evening, Shui Shi Qiao had not come back, Liuli was not at ease, and sent Weiwei to secretly go outside to investigate, and finally received Tang Chun's letter.
"Yes, the Cao Gang and the gang leader were ready to fight for wine, but in the end they were all poured into the hands of one person. Tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. Wei Wei replied, not only was his face not annoyed, but also had a little schadenfreude on his face.
Ruri is wrong at first glance. Asked, "Are you happy?" ”
Only a little embarrassed, but still said, "Because the helper loses at the hands of the woman, the slave and the maid...... It's an honor to be there. ”
As soon as she said this, Liuli was also interested, not to mention the eventful lime, and immediately asked, "Who?" Who is so capable? Hurry, hurry. What's going on? Tell us, don't miss a single detail. ”
"Tang Chun said that from the beginning, a group of men were bragging, all of them were saints of the wine country." Wei Wei said with a smile. Tang Chun knew the details, so he simply admitted it. At this time, Ling Hongdie, the head of our Cao Gang in Tokyo, stood up and said that she would respect first. After that, everyone is free to do whatever they want. Sister Ling has the skills to walk the boat, and she is also very capable of leading the rudder, but she usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol. She said so. And the men came to the spirits, and some of them had bad hearts, and brought the strongest wine. Unexpectedly, Sister Ling didn't use a cup, hugged the jar and poured it directly, and drank the wine without padding her stomach. The men are stupid, but the girls' families are all drinking, how can they have the face not to keep up? So, gritted his teeth and went on the field, but after a round, he all slipped out of the table. Or does the helper have the ability to carry it for three rounds, in the end...... Defeated. ”
The maids in the house all laughed, and when they heard the man being embarrassed, regardless of whether the relationship was close or not, they all felt funny and relieved. Liuli also secretly scolded Shui Shiqiao in her heart: told you to run out, I wanted to discuss things with you, but you weren't there, should!
"I heard that before the helper drank down, he pulled Ling Hongdie, with a big tongue, and wanted to recognize his sister alive or dead." Wei Wei said again, which made Liuli laugh.
And this relaxed atmosphere lowered her alertness. Early the next morning, because Shui Shi Qiao didn't go home, she left a message for Qing Dai and asked Qing Dai to tell Shui Shi Qiao. She took Lime and Yiqiu by herself and followed Wen Ningzhi to Mingshan outside Xicheng. Wen Ningzhi sat alone in one car in front, and Liuli and the two girls were in the second car. However, it was not Lin Qingyuan who drove the car, but the coachman of Ning'an Houfu. The other rough mothers-in-law fell at the end, and the guards rode on both sides, looking very safe.
Maybe I still didn't sleep well last night, and I got up too early today, and after Liuli got in the car, I have been feeling very sleepy. Before I left the city, I almost fell asleep a few times. And in the four corners of the carriage, four hollowed-out rattan balls hung down, shaking and shaking with the carriage, looking like a hypnotist's tool for a long time. Moreover, the rattan balls exude a faint and elegant fragrance, which is even more drowsy.
Looking at Lime and Yiqiu again, I couldn't stop yawning.
"What's wrong with me? Didn't you get drugged? Lime wiped away the tears that had been shed from her yawn, "If the gang leader sees that I am so unenergetic outside, he will definitely laugh at me." Once, I stayed in one place with the gang leader for three days and three nights, intending to catch a wrong place in Caokou, but I never did. Caokou refers to the people who are composed of "Diao Jin and Bad Prisons", who share profits with the people and are dirty with lawlessness.
The lime speaker has no intention, but Liuli has a heart! A sixth perception of danger suddenly came to mind.
"Hold your breath!" Liuliteng stood up, but forgot that the Wen family's carriage was not so high, so he slammed into the roof of the car.
But she didn't care much, and reached out to grab the hollow rattan ball, but her hands were empty. Then, the pain in the top of her head and the confusion in her mind hit her at the same time, causing her to quickly lose consciousness.
Is this Cui Shufei's trick? Before falling into darkness, she thought to her chagrin.
