Qiu Tang walked into the kitchen, looked at the cold stove and cold pot, and felt a little uncomfortable, looking at the sky, it was not early, Qiu Tang couldn't take care of it, lit the stove, and put the medicine jar on the shelf.

"Aren't you done yet?" Pearl dangled to the kitchen door, leaning against the door frame and looking at the sweaty Begonia.

"The decoction will have to be boiled for a while, and when it is ready, it will be cooked." Qiu Tang wiped the sweat from his head and responded. She now personally experienced the hard work of boiling medicine and cooking every day, and she was not so uncomfortable with Pearl's performance today.

"Hurry up, I'm starving." Pearl dropped a sentence and shook her hand back to the house.

Qiu Tang rubbed his sore wrist and sighed softly, forget it, in order to be able to play the piano and sing normally tomorrow, let's boil some hot water later and compress my wrist.

"Master, Boss Gu, they have entered the palace, and our task is completed. But Lingcheng can't go back, what should we do? Huachen said that Lu Peng had killed a chicken leg.

"Stay in the Holy City for two days and see. Anyway, you don't need money to live in this yard, tomorrow you go to the street to prepare some gifts, let's go to see Xu Sanye and see if he has a way to make money. Lu Pengju took a bite of the chicken and said vaguely. Although the Holy City is more prosperous than the Lingcheng, this roast chicken is not as delicious as the Lingcheng, thinking of this, Lu Pengju shook his head.

"Okay." Hua Chen nodded in response, and when he saw Lu Peng shaking his head, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Master?" ”

"It's nothing, I just miss the roast chicken in Lingcheng. This roast chicken is still a little bit less delicious. Lu Pengju said with a smile. Growing up in Lingcheng since childhood, he is so familiar with everything in Lingcheng, every grass and tree seems to melt into his bones, and now he suddenly changes places, Lu Pengju is really a little unaccustomed.

"Master, wait a minute." Hua Chen's eyes gurgled, and he suddenly thought of something, threw down a sentence, and rolled over and went off the roof.

After a while, Hua Chen turned over on the roof again, at this time he had an extra wine jug in his hand, Hua Chen sat next to Lu Pengju with a smile: "Master, try this and see if this taste is missing." ”

Lu Pengju opened the cork, a familiar smell rushed into the nasal cavity, stimulating every cell in the body, Lu Peng raised his neck and took a sip, smacked his mouth and said, "You kid, where did you get it?" ”

"I brought it quietly when I left the mausoleum, you said that you are not allowed to drink alcohol when you are darts, but I think that this trip is far away, Master, you are so good, so I brought a pot, I am afraid that you will discipline me, I have been hiding it and did not dare to take it out." Hua Chen said with a smile.

"You're still so clever." Lu Peng raised his hand and gave Hua Chen a painless burst, "Come, you can drink some too." ”

Sitting on the roof, eating roast chicken and drinking wine, is Lu Pengju's biggest hobby, he once told Huachen that every time he was slightly drunk, he could see Huachen's master in the shadow of the moon. Huachen knew Lu Pengju's knot, but he didn't know how to untie it, so he could only prepare roast chicken and wine every time, sit on the roof with the master, eat, drink, look at the moon, and then listen to the master babble with himself about the master who had never met.

According to Lu Pengju, Shi Niang is a beautiful lady, at that time, Lu Pengju's father was the martial champion of the dynasty, and Shi Niang's father was a close friend, and the two families set the baby kiss when the doll was not born, but when everything was developing according to imagination, Lu Pengju's father died suddenly, leaving him young and his mother who washed his face with tears all day long, and his father's violent death not only led to the fall of the family, but also led to the original family affairs yellow, Lu Pengju secretly went to see the girl when he became an adult, Although the girl admired him very much, but her father's fate was difficult to disobey, Lu Pengju wanted to go over to see the girl's father and try to persuade him, but before he could go, the girl's father left the mausoleum with the whole family, and there was no news again.

Hua Chen looked at the hazy moon, and listened to the master talk about the past again, unconsciously, the night was getting deeper, and the sound of drums came from the alley in the distance, and Hua Chen also fell asleep in a daze.

"Sister, I put the medicine in the medicine jar, the fire is already lit, you look at it, don't let the medicine be cooked, remember to let Mrs. drink the medicine on time." Qiu Tang hurriedly explained the pearl over and over again, hurriedly put a green silk behind his head, combed a few strands of green silk and braided it into a whip and hung it behind his ears, and inserted the hairpin in the makeup box, hurriedly put a little rouge on his lips, picked up the pipa and ran out. Until Qiu Tang ran out of the hospital, he didn't hear Pearl's response.

The Holy City is not as good as the Mausoleum City, Qiu Tang only knew when he arrived at Shuyutang that his singing voice was at most in the Holy City, and his popularity and rewards could not be compared with when he was in the Mausoleum City. Such a gap makes Qiu Tang feel difficult. After singing hard, Qiu Tang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the proprietress: "Miss Qiu Tang stays." ”

"Hostess." Autumn begonia shallow Wanfu Road.

"Someone wants to see you, you come with me." After the proprietress finished speaking, she turned around and walked upstairs. Qiu Tang had to keep up.

With the proprietress on the second floor of the teahouse, into a box, there was a charming but not demonic, very charming woman sitting in the box, the proprietress saw Qiu Tang enter the box, turned around and closed the door, and introduced Qiu Tang in her mouth: "This is the mother of Fengqi Pavilion in the Holy City, Meng Ling'er." Dream mother, this is Qiu Tang. ”

"Hello Dream Mother." Qiu Tang Wanfu Road.

"He's a rule-savvy guy." Meng Ling'er smiled, "Don't be polite, do it." As he spoke, he raised his hand and said to the side.

"Thank you, Mommy." After Qiu Tang thanked him, he sat half of his ass on the stool.

"I've been listening to you sing here for the past few days, and you're singing pretty well, where are you?" Seeing that Qiu Tang was also sitting, the smile on Meng Ling'er's face became even stronger.

"A native of Lingcheng, who came to the Holy City with his adoptive mother to look for relatives." Qiu Tang replied with low eyebrows.

"Mausoleum? I remember Lingcheng ...... a few days ago," Meng Ling'er frowned.

"Yes, it's because I know the news that my adoptive mother can't afford to get sick."

"Oh, where do you live now?"

"My adoptive mother is familiar with the owner of a theater troupe, and we temporarily live near the theater troupe."

"I listen to your voice is not bad, and the song is good, but it lacks a little charm, I don't know if you are willing to go to my Fengqi Pavilion to be a first-class girl, only sing songs, and don't sell yourself." Meng Ling'er nodded.

"Thank you for your love." Qiu Tang got up and was deeply blessed, "But I signed a one-year contract with this Shuyutang, if Mother Meng can afford Qiu Tang, please wait for Mother Meng for another year." Although they are all singing songs, they are all ninth-rate, but Qiu Tang always feels that there is still a difference between the teahouse and the Qinglou, and she is not willing to step into the Qinglou half a step until she has to do it, even if she sells her art or not her body.

"It's a benevolent girl, so let's do it, you go to my Fengqi Pavilion every morning, I'll find a master to teach you, and you come to the teahouse to sing in the afternoon, and when you sing in the teahouse for a year, you will come directly to my Fengqi Pavilion, so good?" Meng Ling'er sent an invitation to Qiu Tang.

"No merit is not punished, Mother Meng, please forgive Qiu Tang for not agreeing." Begonia is blessed again.

"Okay, you take this, it's my reward for you today. This is always acceptable, right? Meng Ling'er took out a beaded pink butterfly golden step shake from her head and handed it to Qiu Tang.

"Thank you for the dream mother!" Qiu Tang thought about it again and again, but still took it.

Meng Ling'er saw that Qiu Tang took the step, and she was very satisfied, and smiled at the proprietress of the teahouse: "This girl is good." With that, he left.

Seeing that Meng Ling'er was gone, Qiu Tang turned around and handed the step to the proprietress, after all, when she came, the proprietress did not say that she could keep the items rewarded by the guests herself.

"Take it. Dream mom rewards you. The proprietress took the step shake and inserted it in Qiu Tang's hair, "Just sing the song well in the future." ”

"Thank you, lady." Begonia is deeply blessed.

Qiu Tang wore a step shake, held the pipa, and hurried back, yesterday's abnormality of the pearl made Qiu Tang feel extremely uneasy. She was afraid, she was afraid that she would become alone again. Finally ran home, Qiu Tang didn't care about closing the door, and ran directly into the house, until he saw Pearl sitting at the table drinking tea, Xu's mother lying on the bed in a daze, and her heart settled down a little. It's good to be in, it's good to be in. Qiu Tang put the pipa away, looked at Xu's mother, and no longer accused Pearl of not cooking medicine or cooking, she felt that as long as everyone was there, it would be fine.

Wash your hands, light a fire, and cook medicine. Qiu Tang rushed into the kitchen.

"Third Master Xu, don't come unharmed." Lu Pengju took Hua Chen with the gift and knocked on Xu Hanyun's mansion in the Holy City.

"Why did Lu Ye come to the Holy City?" Xu Hanyun was very surprised by Lu Pengju's arrival.

"I escorted Boss Gu into the Holy City by holy order, but I can't go back now." Lu Pengju said with a smile.

"Can't go back?" Xu Hanyun's eyes widened, "Master Lu, please, please talk in detail inside." ”

Lu Pengju followed Xu Hanyun into the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard was surrounded by strange flowers and plants, the courtyard was a good blue brick, the cloister carved beams and painted buildings, very exquisite, and there were maids and servants standing under the corridor, all standing with their hands down, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

"Inside, please." Xu Hanyun led Lu Pengju through the courtyard and into the front hall to wait for the living room.

"Xu Sanye is prosperous." Lu Pengju flattered that he had long heard that Xu Hanyun was doing business in the Holy City, opening an inn, a silk village, and even two pawnshops. But he didn't expect that Xu Hanyun today is a world of difference compared to when he was in Lingcheng, and he is at most a rich man in Lingcheng, and now he has added a trace of elegant temperament.

"Thanks to Lu Ye, if it weren't for Lu Ye sending Huachen Huaren to send a large amount of property back then, I Xu Hanyun would not have been able to buy such a family business so quickly." Xu Hanyun said and motioned to the maid on the side to serve tea, and the two of them sat down, "Just now you said that Lingcheng can't go back, what do you mean?" ”

"Alas......" Lu Pengju sighed, and carefully explained the incident of the slaughter of Lingcheng, Xu Hanyun was shocked and grieved when he heard it.

"I originally wanted to bring my mother to the Holy City at the end of the year, but I didn't want to be a step too late." Xu Hanyun shed two tears. Who said that men don't flick when they have tears, that's before they get to the sad place. Don't look at Xu Hanyun sleeping in the willows in the mausoleum, dipping flowers and grass, but he is an out-and-out filial son. At that time, he did not let the old mother come to the holy city with him, and it was also because the old mother was sick, and Xu Hanyun couldn't bear to let the old mother drag the sick body for a few days, so it was delayed. But this delay is an eternal separation.

"Xu Sanye's day mourns." Lu Pengju comforted.

"Alas, I knew that I would have brought my mother out with me." Xu Hanyun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Since Lingcheng can't go back, what are Ye Lu's plans in the future?" ”

"I'm a reckless man, and I don't have any other skills, so I came here today to beg Xu Sanye to see if I can help make a living for our master and apprentice." Lu Peng raised his hand and said.
