The ear rooms on the east and west sides of Kunning Palace are specially used for the palace ladies who serve Queen Qian to settle and change their values to rest.

In the harem, the queen and the imperial concubine are the two masters of the high and favored, and the palace eunuchs who serve them naturally do not have to be like the maids in the other small main palaces, and they have to go out of the palace to find another place after the duty hour.

Su Tong and Gong E, who reported the incident, rushed to the ear room of the corner on the west side. Outside the door, I could hear a faint cry of sorrow floating out of the ear room.

Su Tong pushed the door into the house.

The room is not big, but the furnishings are simple but neat and tidy. There were two narrow beds side by side on the east side, and on the innermost bed lay Yan Wan, her face tucked against the wall, and she was sobbing quietly.

In the ear room, the two palace ladies sat on the edge of the bed, muttering words in their mouths, as if to comfort Yanwan. Seeing Su Tong bring people in, the two hurriedly got up and bowed.

"You all go out, and I'll leave it here."

Su Tong sank down Furong's face, and commanded with a solemn face.

The two palace ladies and the reporter didn't dare to stop any longer, one next to the other, and walked out of the house quickly.

At this moment, in the ear room, only Su Tong and Yan Wan are left.

Yan Wan was still "sobbing", and the silhouette of the reclining body on the bed was exquisite. With continuous tears, the two delicate shoulders couldn't stop trembling slightly, which made people's hearts soften when they saw it.

Su Tong moved lightly towards the head of the bed, and slowly bent over to sit on the edge of the bed. looked quietly at Yanwan alone to taste the sorrow, Su Yan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and she was infinitely sad.

Such a delicate and lovely child, who deserves to be pampered and hurt, is crying so sadly now, how many grievances have he suffered?

As soon as he sighed, he heard Yan Wan's trembling voice speak, and he said without looking back:

"What else is my aunt here for? It's better to let the slave die and be clean! ”

"You kid! The years are just right, and the appearance is also well-born, why can't you think about it like this? Don't you want to think about it, if you are dead, you will be clean, so you want the queen mother and aunt to bear the black pot of persecuting you for the rest of your life? ! ”

Yan Wan immediately turned around, grabbed Su Yan's sleeves with cold hands wet with tears, and said in a choked voice:

"Good aunt, the slave has never complained about you and the queen. It's just that as soon as the slave maid went to the Admiral's Mansion, she ate and lived in the same house with Lord Leng for more than ten days. Now I am disgusted by others, and I don't want it anymore!

We are all staying in the palace, who doesn't know that in this palace there is a habit of holding high and stepping low, and a single look can poke people to death? Instead of asking someone to drown with a spitting star, it is better to hang yourself to be the most worry-free! ”

While speaking, Yan Wan was about to rush out of bed again when she left, but was stopped by Su Yan:

"What are you doing?! Tell me what you think?! ”

Yan Wan threw herself into Su Tong's arms and cried loudly. For a good moment, the warbler's gentle wail gradually subsided.

When Su Tong dipped her tears, she carefully advised again:

"Good girl, this is the end of the matter, and you tell your aunt what you think in your heart. At the beginning, it was also my idea to send you to the cold house, saying that it was to help people to the end, but I had to ask your mind first, right? ”

"Slave ......"

Yan Wan completely stopped her sadness, her watery eyes turned slightly, and the moment she met Su Yan's inquiring and encouraging gaze, she quickly dodged away, and her face showed a touch of flushing.

The damp tear kerchief kept stirring between the jade fingers, and Yan Wan's voice was soft:

"Speaking of this, the slave and maid are grateful to the queen mother and aunt. The slave maid's family is not good, even if she is released in the future, she just finds an ordinary family and marries.

Before being sent to the cold house, the queen mother made her words clear. The slave and maid were also determined at that time, and there were no other thoughts. Being able to follow the overseer is also a blessing for a slave and maid, and he is generally not bad. Even if you dislike me, you can't eat with him, and become a concubine, the slave and maid are willing......"

Su Tong was overjoyed, but he deliberately suppressed it, easily did not bring his mood to his face, deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, and sneered:

"Humph! He doesn't look down on you? Why is he! It's good to say that he is the commander of the East Factory who leads Shiban, and to put it mildly, he is not a eunuch without roots! picked up a yellow flower girl out of thin air, we don't dislike him, how can he dislike us? You have a crush on him now, and that's his blessing! Whether to tie up with you or not is not in his thoughts, and it is not a word from our queen mother! ”

After finishing speaking, Su Yun's eyes were tightened, and her smile was complicated:

"Yanwan, the reason why the queen chose you is because she likes your well-behaved energy. You are a smart person, even if you become the admiral's wife in the future and enjoy the blessings, you must remember that you are supported by the queen's mother, and you must always be loyal to her. ”

Yanwan hurriedly got out of bed, prostrate at Su Tong's feet, and said pleadingly:

"Auntie, rest assured, you and the queen are kind to the slave maid, and the slave and maid will always remember it and dare not forget it!"

……

"How can this be justified?"

In Kunning Palace, Queen Qian roared and shook her sleeves angrily.

"He is clearly threatening Yan Wan, and you still want to follow his way!"

Rolling her eyes coldly, Sen Sen's cold mang cut the matter, and Queen Qian stopped paying attention to her in a deep voice.

Su Tong clasped his hands together, lowered his chin and said:

"Mother is angry. What the slave just said, every sentence is for the mother's plan, and I hope you will think twice.

Leng Qingtang is just a traitor, and he is as smooth as a pearl. The fact that he dared to return to Kunning Palace shows that he has a problem with us. The spring banquet is irretrievable. Are you just going to lose him for a moment, and take Yan Wan's life? ”

“……”

Queen Qian raised her head suddenly, her face seemed to have been enlightened in an instant, she became silent and stunned.

Su Yan's voice paused, and Queen Rong carefully tasted her hard persuasion before continuing to bow her head and say:

"Niangniang, think again. At the beginning, it was we who worked hard to bring Leng Qingtang over. There was an accident in the Baohe Palace, and it was you who issued a phoenix edict and sent the forbidden army to surround the East Factory. Although it is to protect the foundation of Leng Qingtang, I am afraid that after a long time, it will inevitably be troubled by miscellaneous people, so he will decide that it is you who have rebelled. Why did you have to bear the charge?

What is an East Factory? He wants, it is better to give it to him at this moment, and at the moment of crisis, it is you who will help him. As long as Yanwan does a good job and can contain Leng Qingtang's heart, are you still afraid that he and his Dongchang will not be in your control in the future? ”

Queen Qian was speechless for a long time. After thinking about it seriously, she clenched her fists with a fixed expression:

"Waiting for the palace to change clothes, the palace is going to Qinming Hall to meet the emperor!"

……

West Plant

Minglan listened to the detailed report and was shocked. After sending the people away, he was left alone in the main hall, striding with his hands in his hands, wandering a few times.

According to the intelligence, the "Pei Ru yes" mentioned by Yan Wan a few days ago is indeed a person. This person was formerly the head of the palace dining room, and he had an emotional entanglement with Leng Qingtang when he was a teenager, but because he was older than him, he was unable to marry him. Before she could be released, she was given by Emperor Xiao to Zheng Ran, the then grandfather of the country, as a concubine. It's been more than ten years since I talked about it.

Zheng Ran, the official of the Great Yi State, the first emperor was in power, because of his invincibility and outstanding achievements, he was given the title of king with a different surname at a young age.

Minglan was not interested in Zheng Guogong's deeds, but by splicing together the news fed back by An Hong a few days ago and the confession of the head of the Gongyuan, he actually obtained surprising clues.

Seventeen years ago, Emperor Xiao gave Leng Qingtang's good friend Pei Zhangshan to marry Zheng Guogong.

Eleven years ago, on a snowy night, it was the bloodbath of Zheng Guogong's mansion. The whole family, the old and young, the lives of hundreds of masters and servants, were all gone overnight.

Zheng Gongyuan had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son died of a mysterious illness for many years, and the second son was missing a few years before the tragedy. There is only one girl named Wanru under her knees, who was born to Pei Ru.

If you follow the line of thought that Gu Zhangshi of the Tribute Courtyard said, eleven years ago, the five-year-old girl Gu Yunxi, who was riddled with chronic diseases, entered the Tribute Academy, it should be after the Zheng family was wiped out!

Minglan saw nothingness out of thin air, and frequently hooked his white five fingers to make careful calculations.

I think that Xiaoyun Guan'er is also sixteen this year, if he retires to eleven years, the age at that time is also completely consistent with the age of Zheng Guogong's deceased daughter.

Suddenly, the flint lightning in his brain burst wildly.

Minglan was so frightened by his bold guess that his back twitched, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

He knew that Leng Qingtang was not a nosy master. The selection of people in the Youzhu Tribute Academy is strict, how can you get a sick and weak girl at will?

Minglan's eyes were dark, and he didn't feel a little toothless. With intuition, he felt more and more that Gu Yunxi's identity was very suspicious. If you can solve this mystery, you can directly defeat Leng Qingtang!

Who is Gu Yunxi? Where do I start to find out who she is? Now it's a hard time for him......

The morning light is faint, and the light is fine and fragmented on the human face. At the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, a faint cool breath emanates.

According to the instructions of the Governor, she and Cheng Wanli will go to Shili Street south of the capital today to find a Fengyue place "Wanhualou". There was a famous Oiran there, a woman whose stage name was "Danqing Vo".

Legend has it that this woman can not only sing and dance, but also do a good hand of calligraphy and painting, so it attracted the children of the capital family and the provincial Jia Xiao Ruyun to come to visit. did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, just begging Miss Fu to play a song, or an impromptu pair of ink treasures.

And this woman is born with a clear and unruly heart, and each calligraphy and painting must be ten taels of gold, and if you don't take more, you will never receive more. Therefore, there is the nickname of "Fu Shitael".

Gu Yunxi got up early in the morning, and rushed to Shili Street with Cheng Wanli and Qing'er on horseback.

As soon as Qing'er's buttocks touched the horse's back, she chattered endlessly, complaining with an unhappy expression:

"Cut! What a good place did I go to when I was the overseer, and I dared to love the Qinglou Chu Pavilion! If you haven't seen anyone at all, how do you know that Fu Danqing has excellent looks and talents? ”

Yanwan's incident has made Qing'er still have lingering palpitations. As long as it involves women other than Gu Yunxi, she will be extremely sensitive and fortified everywhere.

Gu Yunxi didn't like to listen to it, glanced at the maid while riding the horse, frowned and said:

"Qing'er, what are you talking about!"

She had faith in the Overseer. Especially last night, when the two got together, after enjoying a not deep but extremely difficult to talk about, she seemed to have tasted the true beauty and sweetness of love overnight. At this moment, people also became more convinced that she loved the Overseer, and that the Overseer loved her with persistence and dedication.

Cheng Wanli looked at the two of them and grinned embarrassedly:

"There are those inspectors in the East Factory, if you want to get a little information, you still need to work hard to oversee the master, and visit the Qinglou in person? Qing'er, you're thinking too much. ”

"Humph!"

Qing'er pursed her lips, raised her horsewhip with displeasure on her face, jumped past him and Gu Yunxi, and rushed to Shili Street first.

After a short walk, a group of people followed.

Although they have changed into casual clothes with each other, they have been fighting with Xichang for a long time, and with their horizontal eyebrows and flamboyant energy, Cheng Wanli and Gu Yunxi can guess that they are Xichang Tiqi.

Gu Yunxi felt that the overnight closure of the entire Beijing Art Gallery must be inseparable from the West Factory. Now that they are pestering again, the place where they are going must not be easily intercepted by them.

Cheng Wanli and Gu Yunxi looked at each other, and suddenly shouted:

"Yun Guan'er, I'll take the first step, you and I will see you in the Orchid Pavilion"

Then he swung his whip and kicked the horse's belly with his boots. The horse's hooves flew on the loess and disappeared from the dust.

Behind him, several Xichang fans separated from the Tiqi queue and chased thousands of miles along the way.

Gu Yunxi knew that Qianhu's words just now were deliberately to confuse the West Factory, and he didn't take it seriously.

Ran quickly and caught up with Qing'er in one go, and explained the matter to her, and Qing'er shouted on the horse according to the plan:

"Childe, see you and I at Beilu Nunnery"

Then he hit the horse, ran down the right fork in the road, and followed a few Xichangti riders behind the horse.

Gu Yunxi immediately urged the horse to run quickly, while looking back.

The queen of the horse still followed the five and six West Factories, and now she is the only one left, what should she do to completely get rid of them?

has already arrived at the boundary of Shili Street, in order not to reveal his true destination, Gu Yunxi deliberately slowed down his horse speed and wandered aimlessly on the street.

Immediately, she unexpectedly urged the horse to gallop, in a vain attempt to shake off the "tail" behind her.

However, this time she made a mistake.

Xichang Tiqi was still following closely behind, and the speed was just right for hers, neither directly grabbing and encircling her, nor making her get out easily, as if he was deliberately following her to see where she wanted to go.

Gu Yunxi was nervous in his heart, and immediately began to panic, and gradually lost his mind.

Just when they were at a loss, a long line of floats suddenly appeared at the intersection ahead. All kinds of fresh flowers, fresh and eye-catching, filled seven or eight carts.

Gu Yunxi was overjoyed, pursed his lips, and dropped a few whips on the horse's buttocks. The horses are in pain, neighing incessantly and increasing their speed.

Seeing that the float was getting closer and closer, the horse stretched out its front hooves and volleyed into the air, and actually jumped

Collapsed over the float.

Seeing this, the Xichang Tiqi hurriedly beat his horse and whipped his horse, and shouted behind him with hideous faces:

"Get out of here, get out of here! Case handling in the West Factory"

But seeing the frightened face of the cart man at the head of the convoy, he said quickly:

"Oops! It's going to be bumped, it's going to be bumped! Get out of the way, everyone."

As he spoke, Tiqi had already rushed to the eyes of the group.

While the horses were slackening, several coachmen raised their handlebars sharply. In the blink of an eye, several hundred-pound metal carts were overturned.

"Crackling"

The potted plants on the car poured into the nest, splitting their heads and covering their faces and smashing them into the West Factory.

The sound of cracking carries the wail of people on their backs, and the noisy ten-mile long street has become a more enthusiastic and eye-catching scene.

The people stopped to watch the excitement, and the more they gathered, the more they gathered.

The Xichang riders had just stood up but were surrounded by the coachmen, and the local voices from other places were endless:

"Lose your stuff! Your horses have kicked over the float and everything has broken down, and you have to lose money! ”

"Grandma's West Factory handled the case, and the ignorant Diao people dared to stop it"

One of the horsemen showed his waist card, but it was exactly like playing the harp to a cow.

"We care about your loose intestines, and if something is broken, you will have to pay for it"

The coachmen stepped forward and pushed and shoved with the riders.

"Fucking death!"

"Give me a call"

"Hit"

"Oops! …… Ahh

Gu Yunxi parked his horse across the street, quietly watching the two groups of people from insulting each other to fighting, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Raising her hand to wipe away the countless dense beads of sweat on her forehead, she turned the horse's head and hurried towards the direction of Wanhualou.

In the corner, a pair of silent purple eyes watched Gu Yunxi ride away in a sassy manner, slowly revealing a pale white dress in the shadows.

The breeze is swaying, the snow clothes are fluttering, such as pear petals blooming, if the Xuan flowers fly away, the peerless free and easy out of the dust, enough to charm the common people.

Hand-cranked folding fan, Lu Qiange's thin lips moved slightly, and his smile was half quiet and half clear......

When Gu Yunxi didn't bump on horseback, a vermilion gorgeous pavilion jumped in his field of vision. In my ears, there are bursts of delicate sounds like smoke:

"Guest officer, sit upstairs, ......"

"Master, you want to come often......"

Gu Yunxi rushed to the building in a rage, stopped his horse and looked up.

But seeing the blue sky and light clouds, a four-story corner tower dressed in red hanging colors stands impressively, with a delicate and luxurious appearance, constantly charming and vibrant.

On the lintel on the first floor, there is a plaque on it, and there are three gilt characters of "Wanhualou" written on it.

On the second floor, there are two or three enchanting women leaning next to the jade pink and purple carved railing, who are frequently dancing the handkerchief in their palms, and the flowers and branches are trembling downstairs to solicit business.

When I saw Gu Yunxi, who was dressed as a son, young and handsome, he was very eager.

The little guy who had already run the hall led Gu Yunxi's horse, and the old bustard greeted him in person, and with a smile, he introduced this good-looking little boy into the building.

The first time he entered the Qinglou in disguise, Gu Yunxi was nervous at first, and then chatted with the old bustard for a few words before he relaxed slightly.

There is no suspense in the whole process of seeing Vo Danqing. Gu Yunxi only put two heavy ingots of gold in the palm of the old bustard, and directly explained to her the intention.

The old bustard held the yellow and clear gold ingot, and was shocked that his eyes were straight and his eyes were shining, and he was already smiling from ear to ear.

Without saying a word, she happily took Gu Yunxi to the fourth floor and welcomed her into the Oiran's embroidery room.

The cottage is elegant, compared with the noisy scene downstairs, it has its own hole.

The sun slanted against the carved window lattices, the breeze came, and the curtains danced.

In the small pavilion, the piano frame dressing table, the cabinet lattice incense couch, there is no need to elaborate.

The most conspicuous place is a large pear marble table in front of the east window. There are all kinds of calligraphy on the flat desktop, several square treasure inkstones, and several stacks of rice paper. Next to a big Ru kiln plum blossom three lane pen holder, lined with many brushes of uneven thickness. On the other side is the sheep fat jade pen holder, on which three wolves are hung.

On the west side of the bookcase, on the delicate sandalwood corner table, a few wisps of flowers are fragrant. A beautiful woman sits on the side of the table, fiddling with the table full of gold-painted tea and tea pets.

Looking at its surroundings, there is no luxury in the decoration, just simply wear a purple gauze and silver thread begonia flower skirt, the color is bright, the wide robe is large, and there is a kind of courage that can make people respect it.

A handful of green silk on the head is obliquely tied with the cloud bun, and the rest are draped casually behind the shoulders, and only a white jade lotus hairpin is inserted between the black temples.

Seeing that a guest was coming, the woman stood up with a smile, and reported to her home after giving a salute, which was the Oiran of today's Wanhualou, Fu Danqing.

Gu Yunxi was curious, and couldn't help but cast his eyes deeply, looking at the strange woman in front of him from head to toe.

Delicate skin is better than snow, the facial features are beautiful, the makeup on the face is not too bright, only slightly elegant eyebrows, dotted lips, and the center of the eyebrows is painted with a vermilion five-petal plum blossom. Looking at Gu Yunxi's pair of clear eyes, Ying Ying's soul was seduced when she smiled, and she was full of romance.

Gu Yunxi saw the woman's light and dusty beauty in his eyes, and the more envious he was in his heart, he secretly thought to himself.

It is worthy of being the elan that is hard to find in this ten thousand flower buildings! Dressed up like this, it's really very different from those vulgar fans downstairs!

Sit down with each other.

The bustard personally took the little maid to serve expensive refreshments, and everyone withdrew from the Oiran embroidery pavilion one after another, leaving the ** space to the benefactor.

After Gu Yunxi tasted tea for a while, he chatted with Fu Danqing. During this period, she told Fu Danqing that she was a businessman from Jiang'an Province who came to Beijing to sell medicines. Because of the admiration of the beautiful name of "Fu Shiliang", Telaibao begged Mobao and asked Miss Fu to draw three beauties according to her oral facial features.

With that, she placed a bag of gold on the table.

This money is enough for 100 taels to buy ten paintings by Fu Danqing.

Just because the matter was urgent, Gu Yunxi couldn't wait to get the portraits of the three missing tribute girls today, so he made a generous move, and he didn't want the other party to refuse.

Fu Danqing glanced at the bulging brocade bag, and his gaze was so light that there was no sense of weight at all.

Smiled silently, Fu Danqing raised his gaze and opened his mouth when he looked directly at Gu Yunxi, his voice was gentle, and he exhaled like an orchid:

"The little girl thanked Yun Gongzi for his kindness. However, for the painting of the son, the things that Danqing took this time were not real money. 2k reading network
