Chapter 1: Autumn Sound (4 I)

Scarlet candles, pale pink tents. After the thin smoke, the sleeping beauty slowly opened her starry eyes and let out a lazy **.

"Madame is awake?" The maid who was curled up on the tiger skin blanket next to the bed and pretended to sleep heard the ** sound, stood up happily, picked up the lotus seed soup warm in the wool, and lightly held it to the desk of the newly awakened beauty.

"Hmm!" Mrs. Qiu Guo let out another low groan, raised half of her body, and drank a few mouthfuls of lotus seed soup from the handmaiden's hand. Then he slowly stretched and sighed and asked, "What time is it?" Xiangyin, are the two children of the Qin family gone? ”

Although she was in her early thirties, her skin was more delicate than that of the sixteen-year-old maidservant beside her. Maybe it's because I just woke up, maybe it's because of habit, inadvertently, most of my chest has exposed the quilt, and the two points of red are separated by a deep ravine, looking at each other proudly.

This scenery, even if a woman sees it, will be dizzy. The maidservant who was called Xiangyin put the half-empty magnetic bowl on the side of the bed, slowly lowered her head, and pasted her face on Mrs. Qiuguo's arm, "It's already the second watch." Madam! The two little Langjun of the Qin family were both afraid of their families. Seeing that his wife was too drunk to drink, he found an excuse and took the initiative to leave. But Madame, I slept so deeply this time! She rubbed it lightly and whispered in response. The voice was a little hoarse that was extremely inappropriate for his age, making the candle flame not far away suddenly jump, flickering and dimming.

"Death!" Mrs. Yu Guo slapped her and slapped the little maid out of the distance. "Don't bother here, help me figure out what I'm wearing tonight. I want the one that the big food merchant sold last time. There are also corresponding hairpin rings and makeup boxes, and I took them together! ”

"Do you want that big cannibal outfit?" The servant girl Xiang Yin flashed within the distance that she could reach with her hand, and frowned slightly, "This is not as good as summer." It's cool in the middle of the night. Except for two pieces of sheepskin, that suit was a pile of silver ornaments, and it couldn't keep out the cold at all, if it was ......."

"The old thing likes this bite, what can I do?" Mrs. Yu Guo put away the charm on her face, and there was a touch of helplessness between her eyebrows. "But it's okay to make him have enough of his eyes. When the time comes, there will only be the strength of the dragonfly to point the water......."

"That old man doesn't die!" Xiang Yin frowned and cursed. It's not like complaining about Mrs. Qiuguo, it's more like being jealous with someone.

"Don't be verbose, let's go!" Mrs. Qiu Guo glanced at her and repeated in a low voice. "Let the medicine mark go out and have a look, is the carriage ready? I don't know if those two horses will be able to get up in the future? ”

"It shouldn't be a big deal! Madame rest assured. The reckless man surnamed Lei didn't know what method he used. Although the horse was knocked down, it really didn't hurt the bones. The little maid Xiangyin walked out with broken steps, and reported in an orderly manner. An hour ago, the housekeeper called the veterinarian to take a look, prescribed a few soothing veterinary medicines, and closed the stall. It is okay to say that you don't take medicine, and you can recover after two or three days of cultivation in the stable! ”

"Oh!" Mrs. Qiuguo's mouth slowly opened into a soft oval. It's not that she doesn't have the money to buy two more chambers of the same color, but she thinks the two animals are pitiful. was scared like that, and he had to take two hard old punches.

"How is Madame feeling now? According to the opinion of the servant, simply put off today's night banquet. Anyway, the old thing's courtyard is not far from here, and it is impossible for him not to hear anything about your car being frightened in the evening. The little maid came in carrying a gold-painted lacquer plate, on which were placed two pieces of vermilion lacquered sheepskin, a blue veil, and a pile of shining bracelets, anklets, bells, and chains. Four maidservants, who were younger than her, but all of them looked like budding flowers and bones, walked in behind her, and lifted Mrs. Qiu Guo from the bedside, carried her to the dresser, and served her in dressing.

As Xiang Yin said earlier, this set of big cannibal clothes is very little different from wearing it and not wearing it from the perspective of keeping out the cold. It's just that in this way, Mrs. Qiuguo's skin is set off more fairly and delicately, and her waist is also set off more exquisitely. Mrs. Yu Guo shook her head, picked up a heavy chest ornament, and hung it around her neck with her own hands. "Can you not go? Once you are hated by that old thing, you can't get rid of it without three or five years of hard work, and you can't get rid of ....... at all."

The chest ornament is a mesh of amber and pearls, with a myriad of small bells made of bright silver on the lower edge. One by one, they are adorned on the edges of the dark red lambskin bandeau, bringing a little chill.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror who was a little more charming, Mrs. Qiu Guo sneered slightly. It's been more than ten years, and this face hasn't changed. The same upside down sentient beings, the same alleviating country and city. I remember that when my husband died, it was also such a cold autumn. Before the hot filial piety on his body was taken off, his father-in-law had already climbed into his bed.

That night, Mrs. Yu Guo didn't know how she got out of bed again. Anyway, since that time, Yang Yuyao has died. Since then, she has been the most "outstanding" daughter-in-law of the Pei family in Hedong and the widow of Pei Miao, a talented son in Shuzhou. Perhaps blessed by her deceased husband's spirit in the sky, she not only became more and more delicate like a begonia after the rain, but also became proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her reputation as a talented woman spread far and wide.

All this is because the Pei family is too powerful. His father Yang Xuanyan's position is too low, and his brother Yang Guozhong has no interest. People who have no interest are destined to be bullied, and Yang Yuyao once believed in this. So, she used a very simple and very effective method to let her lustful father-in-law return to the west and take charge of the power of the Pei family in Shuzhong. But he was shocked to find that in a Shu land, above the Pei family, there are also the Wang family, the Xiao family and the Li family. Whichever one she wants, she can't afford to provoke them.

So, she continued to fly between the dignitaries and dignitaries. hopes to use his beauty to exchange for greater benefits for his family. So, my sister was elected to the Shouwang Mansion, and my brother was mixed into the Jiedu envoy to be a scribe.

finally waited until his sister Yuhuan became the princess of Shou, this time it was a real royal family, and the Yang family could finally vent their anger, right? Who would have thought that there was an emperor above King Shou, and there was a book in the middle of the court on the festival, and the servants shot left and right.

So, her dancing continued to rotate, from Kaiyuan to Tianbao. Her younger sister Yang Yuhuan became His Majesty's favorite woman, and she abandoned the early dynasty many times for her. The elder brother Yang Guozhong is a brother and sister, and he holds 17 prominent positions, and his power is inclined to the government and the opposition. However, she is accustomed to welcoming and sending to life, and she can't stop her steps.

Brother Guozhong is not a person with a ravine, he is in a high position, but he can't get rid of the habit formed by mixing in the market back then. is good at small tricks that can't be put on the table behind the scenes, but he doesn't have the wisdom and courage to face trouble. My sister spoils the harem, but there is no strong family support behind her, and she inadvertently offends countless enemies. These news, these gaps, all need her to dance her long sleeves to inquire and bridge. If you are lazy, your sister and brother will have an unexpected enemy. The Yang family, as well as the Pei family in Shuzhong, who once hated them to the core, have an extra cold knife behind them.

Sometimes Mrs. Qiu Guo also felt that she had not been able to solve any problems for her brothers and sisters. But without this righteous and awe-inspiring excuse, she would no longer know what she was living for.

Xiang Yin picked up the pearl relic ointment that Yangzhou had paid tribute to the royal family, and carefully applied it near the eye sockets of Mrs. and Mrs. Qiuguo. "Madame, I'm afraid I didn't sleep well just now!" She muttered softly as she slowly rubbed her fingers to let the pearl relic paste slowly seep into the skin near her eye sockets. It's like an eldest sister, taking care of her own wayward sister.

"I just had a dream. Very strange dreams! Mrs. Yu Guo took a thick, long silver chain from the tray and tied it around her waist at the servant maid's service. This big food has a very glamorous name, called "lock waist", the rough style and her slender waist match, making it suddenly charming and a little pitiful.

"What did Madame dream about? Can you talk to the slave maid? ”

"It's long forgotten. Knowing that the dream is fake, who bothers to remember it! Mrs. Qiu Guo shook her head, turned sideways, and let the maid clothe herself with a thin veil.

The royal blue light veil was draped over the shoulders, and half of the shoulders and half of the body loomed. Inside the mirror, an exotic princess appeared. It's not so much a princess as a slave girl of some king. Silver bracelets, silver anklets, thick locks and waists. I'm about to be held in the arms of an ugly old youkai........

Looking at herself in the mirror, Mrs. Qiuguo's face suddenly flushed with an extremely unnatural flush. She did have a very strange dream just now, but the scene in the dream was not only not forgotten at all, but also vividly remembered. In the dream, Yang Yuyao remembered that she was almost dressed like this, and was swept in the air by two old and ugly monsters, shackled. A strong man with a beard and a height of nine feet happened to pass by on the ground, shouted angrily, and rushed up to the clouds. One punch knocked the youkai on the left to the ground, and then, against the youkai holding him hostage on the right, he threw a bowl-sized fist again.

With just two punches, the two blue-faced and fanged monsters were beaten back to their prototypes, and they were actually two old tree roots. As soon as the demon appeared, Yang Yuyao immediately lost support in mid-air and fell quickly. Just as she was about to be smashed to pieces, the bearded man descended on the colorful auspicious clouds and gently supported her carcass.......

The happiness and tranquility of that moment are victorious, and there are countless lives in life.

"That's it! Madame see for herself, can you get such makeup? Xiangyin's voice sounded in his ears again, turning Yang Yuyao, who was immersed in a dream, back into Mrs. Qiuguo.

Three points of holiness, three points of charm, three points of enchantment, and one part of pity. Smiling at herself in the mirror, Mrs. Qiu Guo stood up and put on the last weapon of the night, a pure black cashmere. All the charm and enchantment were instantly wrapped tightly in the pure black daqi, and no one could see her almost naked body and the cold ornaments on her body without peeling it off. At this moment, the person in the mirror is exposed, and only one head remains, with a haughty and tired smile, eternal and unchanging.

"All right, you all go down. Incense, light up the candle flame. I can't see it very clearly. What about the medicine marks, why hasn't this damn girl come back yet! Slowly turning her body in front of the mirror, Mrs. Qiu Guo commanded softly.

The cashmere is not yet warm, it is cold, as if wrapped in a piece of ice. But this piece of ice can also turn into a flame at any time. As long as one day, I can meet the person in the dream. He doesn't know who he is, doesn't ask about his past and future......

"I'm afraid I'm asleep on the road!" Xiang Yin slandered his companion without a trace. "She's weak and sleepy!"

"It's all like you, just scorpion sting!" Mrs. Yu Guo turned her head and gently poked Xiangyin's finger. Seeing that the figures of several other little maids had already gone out, he thought about it and continued: "What I told you to take from the mouths of the brothers of the Qin family today, have you ever taken it out?" ”

"That brother is very tender. After you went back to your room to rest, I didn't use any means with the medicine marks, they poured out all the things we wanted to know like beans! The glamorous little maid Xiangyin thought about it, and the expression on her face couldn't help but be a little proud. The son who pulled the carriage was the great-grandson of the founding marquis Wang Qiang. The family lives in Chongrenfang, and his parents died early, and there is only one concubine left on his head. There are a lot of fields and shops under his name, but there is basically no hope in this life! ”

"Hmm!" Mrs. Qiu Guo nodded lightly and motioned for Xiang Yin to continue.

"That little scoundrel who can't even bother to wipe his saliva when he sees you is called Yuwenzhi. It is a concubine of the side branch of the Yuwen family. There are two old people in the family, but they are both hands-on. Messing around with his temperament. According to the slave's opinion, I am afraid that he provoked today's chaos. ”

"What is that little scoundrel doing!" Mrs. Qiu Guo smiled, a hint of disdain on the corner of her mouth. It's one thing to be moved when you see a beautiful woman, but it's another thing to be moved when you can't take a step when you see a beautiful woman. The former proves the power of his charm, while the latter only proves that the little thing can't become the climate on its own.

"The rest of the people are even less worth mentioning!" Xiangyin frowned, really couldn't understand who among the people she met this afternoon was worthy of the master's attention. Anyway, Madame has already said that she doesn't want to hold them accountable, and it would be foolish to ask clearly. Moreover, except for the brothers of the Qin family, the son of the Wang family, and the little scoundrel surnamed Yuwen, the others broke their bones and boiled oil, and they may not be able to afford their own wife's carriage.

"A few people left. Among them, the most dignified one is Li Bai, who scared off 100,000 male soldiers with a piece of paper! The maidservant who called the medicine mark came from outside, and seeing that Xiangyin couldn't answer Madame's question, she hurriedly seized the rare opportunity.

This self-righteous answer did not return the praise she deserved. Mrs. Qiu Guo just shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just a clever translation." If I don't have elite soldiers and strong generals in Datang, just because he is a nerd, even if he writes a thousand resignations, I am afraid that he will be burned by the big cannibals as firewood. ”

"Madame is very right!" Xiang Yin turned her head and raised her chin in protest at the drug marks. "A few other people, the more famous ones are Gao Shi and Cen Shen. But they were all depressed and wandered in Beijing to find a way out. That's why the slaves didn't pay much attention to them! ”

"What about the big man who punched the startled horse?" Mrs. Qiu Guo was a little impatient and took the initiative to ask. The heart suddenly jumped a few times, making the cheeks of the person in the mirror more and more rosy, and they looked delicate.

"He, he's just a follower who has gone to the county order, and he has no future......... Xiang Yin paused for a moment and responded casually. Another servant girl heard some signs from Mrs. Qiu's voice, and hurriedly stepped forward and added in a low voice: "The maid asked, that person's name is Lei Wanchun." In his early years, he was a wandering hero, and later met Zhang Xun, a tanhualang in the last years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and was impressed by his open-mindedness, so he resolutely washed his hands and swore to follow Zhang Xun for the rest of his life! ”

"What a strong man with a promise!" The words of praise blurted out from the mouth of Mrs. Qiuguo. "Where does he live, do you know?"

"Ugh!" The two little maidservants were dumbfounded, and neither of them could answer.

"You guys, where do you know what a man is!" Mrs. Qiu Guo sighed and shook her head lovingly. In an instant, the dust on his face was gone.
