Text Chapter 8 Brocade Banner
"Miss, there are only two big pots here, and I can't even cook you a bowl of japonica white fungus porridge."
"Okay, Su Yue, it's just a bowl of porridge, even if you can't cook it, it's okay if you don't drink it for a day, don't complain anymore."
"Miss, the maid just thinks I've wronged you too much." Su Yue pursed her lips.
"Silly girl, I think you feel wronged." Zhou Mengnan smiled: "Go and ask the people to make a fire to cook, and also, go and get your master back." Let people find out what the bridegroom is like outside. ”
Suddenly, Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she said coquettishly: "Miss, look, the master is here." ”
Yang Muyun's appearance was a little depressed, his hair was a little messy, his belt was broken, his clothes were open, his eyes were bloodshot, he didn't dare to come in from the main entrance, he jumped over the wall. Zhou Mengnan was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Yang Muyun's gaze was a little dull: "It's nothing, I accidentally fell." Zhou Mengnan didn't ask again: "Su Yue, quickly take the master into the room to comb his hair and change clothes." ”
Su Yue agreed with a red face.
Su Yue gently untied the silk scarf on Yang Muyun's head, spread his hair, and slowly combed it, she looked at the master while combing, his face was expressionless, his eyes were a little dazed, and he secretly said in his heart: "What's wrong with him?" Is there something on your mind? As a slave, she didn't dare to ask.
After combing her hair, Su Yue picked up the turquoise robe and said, "Master, the belt of this dress is broken, and the maid needs to sew it with a needle before you can wear it." ”
Yang Muyun said listlessly: "No need, you bring my light blue silk robe, I have to go to school today." ”
Yang Muyun was wearing a light blue Xiucai robe and Zhou Mengnan, who was still wearing a newlywed dress, went to greet Mr. and Mrs. Yang early in the morning. Master Yang looked at his son's outfit and looked nondescript, his brows furrowed, and Zhou Mengnan explained: "Father-in-law, Xianggong changed his clothes because he was in a hurry to go to school. Old Man Yang said curiously: "Didn't the professor of the Fuxue allow you to take a vacation at home these days?" Why do you want to go to school again? Zhou Mengnan glanced at Xianggong and said to Master Yang: "Father-in-law, it's not long before Qiufu, Xianggong is studying hard, this is right." Master Yang said apologetically: "I'm afraid I've wronged you." Zhou Mengnan smiled: "Look at what my father-in-law said, my father-in-law is concentrating on learning, it's too late for me to be happy, how can there be any reason to stop it?" Master Yang nodded and said to Yang Muyun: "Let's go after breakfast!" This is the first time our family has eaten together, and it's not very wrong for you not to be there. ”
Yang Muyun hurriedly went to school after breakfast. Zhou Mengnan instructed his subordinates to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and personally respectfully served a bowl of tea to his in-laws, and then stood beside him. Master Yang didn't want to go, and said, "Meng Nan! Don't stand, sit! Zhou Mengnan sat down according to the words, and Master Yang sighed: "My Yun'er is so heartless and heartless, I don't know how distressed people are, you can forgive me more." Zhou Mengnan hummed and asked, "Father-in-law, our family is more than ten miles away from Fuxue!" Does Xianggong walk back and forth every day? Master Yang replied: "No, he usually lives in the city at his sister's house, and he only goes home during festivals." Zhou Mengnanyu thought for a moment on his forehead and said, "Father, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?" Master Yang glanced at her and said, "It's okay for you to say." Zhou Mengnan said slowly: "The township test was held in August, and now it is late April, the pressure on Xianggong must be quite great, our family is far away from the house, and it is not easy to go back and forth, I and Xianggong have become married, and it is very inappropriate for him to live in his sister's house again." Master Yang asked, "Then what do you think?" Zhou Mengnan said: "The daughter-in-law's mother's house has an idle courtyard in the city, and she can't learn from the house, which is very quiet, and the daughter-in-law wants to ask her father-in-law and mother-in-law to move there, so that she can serve day and night, and it will not affect her father-in-law's studies." Master Yang sighed: "Mengnan! It's rare for you to be filial, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are old, and they just want to live here quietly and quietly, according to what you said, you just go there and clean up and move over to take care of Yun'er, his future is important. I'm here with your mother-in-law. Zhou Mengnan frowned slightly: "The second elder needs someone to serve, how can the daughter-in-law leave." "If you persuade each other again and again, Master Yang still refuses to allow it. Zhou Mengnan had no choice but to leave.
Zhou Mengnan walked out of the hall, Su Yue greeted her and asked softly, "Miss, has the old man and the lady agreed?" Zhou Mengnan shook his head and said: "They insist on not leaving, and they will persuade them in the future, then we will move over first, you go and allocate two maids, two family members are here to wait for their two elders, and the monthly money of the four people is still from the Zhou Mansion." Then hurry up and transfer some maids and servants from the Zhou Mansion to that courtyard, and be sure to tidy up the place before dark. Su Yue smiled like a flower when she heard this, and slapped her little hand as white as jade: "Great......" Zhou Mengnan was stunned: "Is there such a thing to be happy about?" Su Yue stiffened her face, bowed, and said, "Yes, the maid will do it." Zhou Mengnan glanced at her: "This matter is done, you are the housekeeper of that courtyard, if you can't do it, you can stay here!" With a hint of a smile on his lips, he turned around and walked away like a flower.
Yang Muyun walked on the road in a daze, he didn't know where he was going, he was walking, and suddenly felt that someone suddenly blocked his way, and when he looked up, he was wearing a brocade robe with a yellow face and a slight beard, it was the middle-aged man in the brocade robe he met in front of the master's door that day, and there was still the big man in a strong suit with a beard on his face. The brocade-robed man smiled at him: "Young Master Yang, we have a hundred adults invited." "Say it
Turning around and walking towards a carriage parked on the side of the road, the man in the strong suit made a gesture of invitation, and Yang Muyun hesitated for a moment and followed. When the two of them were seated in the carriage, the man in the big suit boarded the carriage and whipped his horse, and the horse pulled the carriage quickly to the other side of the street.
"Who are you hundred households? Why did he see me? ”
"Young Master Yang, you don't have to be nervous, Lord Baihu has no ill will towards you."
"Who are you, my lord?"
"Don't dare, I'm An Ruofu, the chief banner of Jinyiwei, and the one outside is Fan Meng, the little banner under the general banner."
"I really don't know where the person you're looking for is?"
"Young Master Yang, we won't talk about this today."
......
The carriage didn't know how far it had traveled, and it stopped unconsciously, An Ruofu raised his hand, without the slightest expression on his face: "It's here, Yang Gongzi, please." The two of them got out of the car. I saw the carriage stop in front of a small gate in the middle of a row of courtyard walls, and in front of the small door stood two men in the same costumes as Fan Meng. An Ruofu bowed slightly: "Please tell the Lord of the Hundred Households, the guests have been brought." The big man in the strong suit replied: "The Lord of the Hundred Households has an order, please bring someone in directly, and you don't need to tell you." An Ruofu nodded and walked towards the door, and Yang Muyun followed.
Inside the small door is supposed to be the backyard of a mansion, because as soon as you enter, you will see a pool of water, and around the pool is a long corridor. The pond is almost covered with lotus leaves, because it is the end of April, and the lotus flowers are not yet in full bloom, and only one branch of the flower bud is drawn. There is a small pavilion built in the center of the pond, which is connected to the shore by a promenade. An Ruofu took Yang Muyun along the corridor to the small pavilion in the center of the pool. Gradually, I got closer and closer to the small pavilion, only to hear a melodious sound of the piano, it turned out that someone was playing the piano in the pavilion.
When I came to the pavilion, I saw a man in a snow-white robe stroking the strings with his back to them, and I couldn't see his appearance, but I could only see from behind that he was very thin, his hair was combed cleanly, and he pulled up a bun with a hosta on it. He seemed to be completely immersed in the sound of his own playing, unaware of the arrival of someone behind him. An Ruofu bowed slightly to Yang Muyun, then turned around and retreated.
Only Yang Muyun and the white-shirted man were left in the pavilion, and at this time, the sound of the piano became cheerful, like a trickling stream, flowing in the mountain stream, splashing beautiful and frank flowers all the way. Gradually, the sound of the piano became anxious, if the rain knocked on the steps, if the wind roared, then the wind became more urgent, the rain became more sudden, the waves were monstrous, and the trees were broken, making people's heartstrings tighter and tighter. Just when the sound of the piano is excited, the person who strokes the piano plucks his hand, and the sound of the piano immediately slows down, like a drizzle of rain caressing the tong, if the breeze blows the willows, it is as elegant as letting people see a fairy dancing in the pavilion, the clothes are fluttering, and the posture is mysterious. It's like being intoxicated when the sound of the piano has stopped.
The man in white stood up and turned around slowly, Yang Muyun saw his face clearly, he was about thirty years old, with a fair complexion, a slight beard on his lips, slender eyes, and a handsome appearance. If you only look at the face, everyone will think that this is a scholar, and they will not associate him with the wolf-like Jinyiwei.
The man in the white shirt smiled faintly and only said one word: "Sit." Looking at Yang Muyun sitting upright, the white-shirted man said: "This official is He Qixiu, the white household of the brocade guard, what do you think of the song 'Ambush on All Sides' just now?" ”
"Master He, Xiaosheng doesn't understand the rhythm of music, but I feel that the sound of the piano is sudden and slow, which makes people listen to it thrilling."
"Yang Gongzi is not good at music, but his martial arts are not weak, Fan Meng's martial arts rank high among the twelve small flag officers under his command, but he can't resist your three moves and two styles!"
"Xiao Sheng doesn't know that he is the official of the Jinyi Guard under your lord, there is an offense, and I hope that the lord will forgive him!"
He Qixiu looked at Yang Muyun's sincere and frightened appearance, and the corners of his mouth curled up an arc.
"Did you really learn your kung fu from that guy?"
"Xiao Sheng, I don't know who the adult is talking about?"
"The mysterious resident of Quqi Lane, Huzhou, his registered name in the government is Hong Er, you have been with him day and night for three years, you won't know this person!"
"Master He, yes, Xiaosheng's martial arts are, I learned it from him."
"He didn't tell you where he came from?"
"He only said that his surname was Hong, and he didn't let Xiaosheng show off the martial arts he taught in front of outsiders."
"What he teaches you martial arts to do, won't it just be fun!"
"He said that I have good roots and bones, and I am a good material for practicing martial arts, so he coaxed me to practice martial arts with him, and Xiaosheng also wanted to serve the court as a person who was both civil and military, so he followed him to learn martial arts."
Yang Muyun concealed the incident of saving his master three years ago, so he casually made up a reason.
"From the ninth year of orthodoxy to today, what have you done with him in the past three years?"
"My lord, Xiao Sheng really hasn't done anything else except coming back from Fuxue to him to practice martial arts for two hours every day."
He Qixiu smiled coldly, and his slender eyes became sharp.
"This is interesting, you have been with Qin for three years, and yesterday you injured three of my Jinyiwei case-handling personnel, Yang Xiucai, you also know the Da Ming Law, right? You say, "What kind of crime should you be convicted of?" ”
Yang Muyun only felt a bang in his brain, his whole body trembled, and he knelt down in front of He Qixiu with an "ordinary" sound, kowtowed again and again, and his lips trembled: "Adult, Lord He, Xiaosheng..... The little student is confused, begging the adults to spare his life! ”
He Qixiu's voice was still very calm: "Accompanying the guilty and conspiring against him is one of the crimes; The injury to Jinyiwei's case-handling personnel was to resist arrest, and resisting arrest was an accomplice to rebel, the second crime; There is another matter, on the emperor's birthday, he sent a minister to Jiangnan for the draft, and after your father-in-law secretly learned about it, instead of catering to the holy will, he hurriedly married his daughter to you, which violated the sacred heart and committed the crime of not being subordinate, and the third crime ......"
The cold sweat on Yang Muyun's head dripped down his forehead and fell to the ground, and he only felt a burst of blackness in front of him, and his ears roared, "Is my life over, the once glorious Huzhou case leader, like that meteor across the sky, will it be silent again?" He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He Qixiu's voice still continued: "Those who plot rebellion and rebellion are guilty of Ling Chi, their relatives are beheaded, and their wives and daughters are assigned to the Beijing Jiaofang Division as slaves and maids, and they will never be able to turn over, Yang Xiucai, is this official right?" ”
Yang Muyun's whole body fell to the ground softly, and he couldn't say a word anymore.
He Qixiu glanced at him who was prostrate on the ground, and changed his words: "But you are not yet sixteen years old, young and ignorant...... Seeing him raise his head, his eyes widened, and he paused and said: "...... You are easily seduced, and you have a heart of repentance, and the official hopes that you will make up for your mistakes, are you willing? ”
Yang Muyun hurriedly knocked to the end: "Ask the adults to teach me." ”
He Qixiu stepped forward to help him up, and his eyes softened: "Yang Gongzi is smart and handsome, he is rich and rich, he has the fame of showing talent at such a young age, and he will be promoted in the future, and he will be promoted in the future, and it will be okay to be a junior scholar, if he can correct himself, the future is limitless." You must cherish yourself and take care of your family! ”
Yang Muyun chewed the meaning of his words, lowered his head and said, "Xiaosheng should serve adults." ”
He Qixiu nodded with satisfaction, raised his hands, and struck three times in a row, the sound was not loud, but it spread far away.
After a while, a green-clothed girl carried a wooden plate along the corridor into the pavilion, put the wooden plate on the stone table in the pavilion, and then bowed her head and retreated. There is a light cyan military attache official uniform on the wooden plate, the complement on the official uniform is Huang Biao Xiaori diagram, the cuffs are embroidered with strange fish patterns, and a black gauze hat is placed on it, and on the left side of the official uniform is a slender half-moon arc-shaped waist knife, the scabbard is jet black, and the handle is jet black. On the right side of the official uniform is a brass waist plaque.
He Qixiu's face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi Fan Meng is not effective, so he will be dismissed and demoted to an ordinary captain, and the post of Xiaoqi is now taken over by Yang Muyun." ”
