Dongdu Dongshi Qingpingfang Cuiting Zhai Xuzheng

Cuitingzhai is still as lively as ever, and between the beams and pillars in the building, there is a moving music played by Xiao Sheng's drums, as well as the coquettishness of the women and the laughter of the men.

In the air, there is a smoky smell of wine, which is mixed with the fragrance of powder smeared by the woman, which is extremely pungent, but those who can come to Cuitingzhai have long been accustomed to this smell, which will arouse the interest of customers.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng had already come to Zhaizhong, and he still picked the white locust room near the lake that he usually booked, and what was placed on the table was still cut beef, peanuts, and daughter red, which was called "three drinks" by Lu Yunsheng. He was eating beef fillet and drinking wine.

Suddenly, an attendant of Cuiting Zhai pushed open the door of the white locust room, and said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, I brought the word you asked me to pass on, Miss Tsubaki said, she will come in a while." ”

"Good."

Lu Yunsheng nodded, took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, and threw it to the attendant, he hurriedly caught it, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Thank you, guest officer, you can use it slowly, call me at any time if you have anything." With that, he closed the door of the white locust room and retreated.

Yunsheng pushed open the paper window on the left, looking at the central lake frozen by a thick layer of ice downstairs, the sky is falling as thin as a grain of rice, covering every corner of Cuitingzhai, with the help of the lights of the imperial capital at night, looking at it, it is like being in a white world.

"If it weren't for those annoying cases, I really wanted to sit here like this and enjoy the snowy scenery," Lu Yunsheng looked out the window stupidly, muttering to himself and sighing, "It's so beautiful." ”

"Are you talking about the scenery outside, or are you talking about me?"

As soon as Lu Yunsheng's words fell, a voice as clear as a silver bell sounded, he came back to his senses, turned around and looked, only to see a woman dressed in Yunsheng's familiar crane embroidered white clothes, like congealed skin and that unforgettable moving apricot eyes, waterfall-like black and bright long hair, these days let Lu Yunsheng never forget Tsubaki, I don't know when I entered the white locust room, standing in front of him.

"Girl, when did you come? Why didn't I notice it at all? ”

Lu Yunsheng stood up very nervously, his hands were very helpless, and the whole person was restrained.

Tsubaki Ji covered her mouth and chuckled: "Lu Gongzi has also seen a lot of big people, how can you see me such a weak woman, but so shy." ”

"No, it's just that the girl is as beautiful as a celestial, so I was a little stunned." Lu Yunsheng seemed to be afraid that Chunji would misunderstand something, so he hurriedly explained.

"Childe, are we just standing and talking?" Tsubaki still smiled.

Lu Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses and said, "Of course not, girl, please sit down without formality." He said as he made a gesture of "please be seated."

Seeing Lu Yunsheng's performance so different from when he first saw the bully, Tsubaki Ji kept laughing and sat down slowly, Yunsheng also sat cross-legged and hurriedly poured her a glass of wine.

Tsubaki Ji held the wine glass in both hands and said, "Master Lu, I toast you, this glass of wine is my thank you for saving you that day." ”

"The girl is so polite." Yunsheng also raised wine and clinked glasses with Tsubaki to drink.

"Lu Gongzi called me this time, but for that day's invitation?" Tsubaki asked with a slight tilt of her head and a smile.

Lu Yunsheng said: "Actually, I have another thing I want to ask the girl. ”

"If the son has something, please tell me, the little girl must know everything."

"Okay," Lu Yunsheng cleared his throat, "I wonder if the girl can still remember the guests who came to Cuitingzhai last year?" ”

Tsubaki Ji said: "Childe said that he laughed, Cuiting Zhai has so many guests coming and going every day, how can I remember to live?" But," she paused, "if it's a guest with a character, maybe I'll have an impression." ”

Lu Yunsheng said: "Okay, then I'll try to tell them what they look like." ”

So, Yunsheng told King Xin and He Qian's appearance and usual clothing style, but he didn't have much contact with King Xin, and he could only repeat his appearance according to what was written on the secret letter document.

When it came to He Qian's often dressed as a literati, Chunji's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "When you say this, I remember, there is a guest dressed as a literati, who comes in and out of our Cuiting Zhai from time to time, and I wonder what a scholar does every day when he comes to Cuiting Zhai to seek pleasure." And he behaves weirdly, so I was very impressed with him. ”

"What do you know about him?" Lu Yunsheng asked with a little excitement.

Tsubaki Ji said: "He only comes every time he comes when he is in Hai Shi and Zi, he doesn't want a girl or a wine, just order some side dishes and cooked food, you say he is poor, but he is generous, even three single rooms, only live in the middle room, and hire our attendants from Cui Ting Zhai to clear away other idle people around." ”

"This approach is quite in line with He Qian's temperament." Lu Yunsheng said secretly in his heart.

I saw Tsubaki Ji continue: "Every time, I will make an appointment with a mysterious customer who wears a cloak and can't be seen, and our sisters are discussing in private, it may be that the son-in-law brought his confidante and secretly had a private meeting in our Cuiting Zhai." ”

Lu Yunsheng nodded, now it can at least be confirmed that He Qian has been in and out of Cuiting Zhai, but this cannot be used as a certificate for his private meeting and secret communication king, because the errands handled by the Spiegel Division are extremely complex and special, so Emperor Chu ordered the Imperial History Observatory to clearly write the article that the personnel of the Spiegel Division can enter and leave the Fengyue place freely into the Great Chu Law, so even if this kind of thing is found, it will not help.

"If that's the case, you can only send someone to squat in Cuitingzhai." Lu Yunsheng suddenly had this idea in his heart, since it is difficult to explore the wind, why not wait for the rabbit?

"However, what if He Qian does not see King Xin again during this time?"

Soon he thought of another possibility, if this plan failed, it would be a waste of a subordinate, and he also knew that now that Tiwei Mansion was short of manpower, every step of his and Xiao Chongguang's planning must be rewarded.

But how do you know it's useless if you don't try?

Lu Yunsheng's heart is in distress and entanglement, and it is very likely that King Xin's return will have a private meeting with He Qian again, but now that Liu Yuanzhen's case is in front of him, it is difficult to guarantee that they will still meet secretly as usual in such a sensitive environment, and even if they have this plan, who dares to guarantee that they will be in Cuitingzhai?

"Childe, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that Lu Yunsheng suddenly fell into deep thought, Tsubaki Ji couldn't help but ask out loud, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Yunsheng came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, I suddenly thought of something else." ”

Tsubaki Ji said: "I see that the son has been restless when he comes this time, so it is better to use the guzheng to play a song "Phoenix Feather Song" for you, maybe it can have the effect of calming the nerves." ”

"Tsubaki-hime, thank you very much for the invitation, but I'm really not in the mood right now." Lu Yunsheng waved his hand and declined.

"Childe, I can see that you are now burdened by heavy responsibilities or preoccupations, and your state today is completely different from when we first met," Tsubaki said with empathy, "You might as well believe me once, the song can soothe the mood, but it will take a little time." ”

Seeing that the woman he had been thinking about was so gracious, Lu Yunsheng really couldn't refuse anymore, and nodded: "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"Childe, wait a minute."

Tsubaki Ji turned around and pushed open the door with a little joy, and said to the two maids waiting outside: "Qiu'er, Xue'er, go to the Lanting Water Pavilion and bring my agarwood zither." ”

"Whoa."

The two young maids responded lightly and walked quickly to the place where Tsubaki Ji lived, and after a while, they both carried a guzheng into the white locust room, placed it in the right oblique corner of Lu Yunsheng, and skillfully lit the small copper stove incense brought, dusted off the strings with a whisk, and finally sat on both sides of the zither.

Tsubaki Ji walked slowly to the guzheng, knelt down, stroked her hands lightly, and with the "sign" of the song, the strings plucked between her fingers, and the beautiful melody floated like a faint fragrance, lingering around, closing her eyes, as if she was in the mountains and rivers and the quiet countryside between her fingers, echoing for a long time. After the sound stopped, it slowly returned to reality.

Lu Yunsheng slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly felt that his body and mind were much more comfortable, and the gloomy cloud just now seemed to turn into smoke and disperse, no longer tired, even if he knew that he was still burdened with heavy responsibilities, he would not be depressed and uneasy because of this.

Tsubaki Ji put her hands on her thighs obediently, looked at Yunsheng with apricot eyes and said, "Childe, this song "Xianyou Landscape Song", I don't know if you are still satisfied?" ”

Lu Yunsheng applauded, looked at Tsubaki Ji and said, "The girl is so wonderful!" It's been a long time since I've heard such beautiful music, and my whole state of mind has calmed down, and it's really like a fairy coming to the world, sending heavenly sounds. ”

Tsubaki Ji smiled lightly and said, "Childe, it's too famous, the little girl is just an ordinary person, and I am already very happy to be able to appease Childe's mood." ”

She raised her eyes slightly, it was really good to meet Lu Yunsheng's eyes, the two looked at each other silently for a long time, and suddenly felt a little rude, so they both withdrew their eyes, one turned their faces away, and the other lowered their heads.

When the two maids beside Tsubaki Ji saw such a scene, they naturally understood God and knew that there were some unspeakable things, so they secretly covered their mouths and smiled.

Then, the two sat down and began to talk a lot, until they were close to Hai, Lu Yunsheng stood up and said: "It's getting late, I won't bother anymore, say goodbye." With that, he said goodbye to Tsubaki Hime.

"Will we see each other again?" Tsubaki-hime asked suddenly.

After Lu Yunsheng put on his boots, he said to Tsubaki Ji: "Yes, I will definitely come again in the future." ”

Tsubaki Ji said happily: "Okay, I will wait for my son at any time in Cuiting Zhai." ”

"Hmm." Lu Yunsheng smiled and nodded vigorously.

The two said goodbye, and Yunsheng went downstairs, and just after walking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Tsubaki Ji again.

"What's wrong?" Tsubaki thought he had something else to explain.

Lu Yunsheng said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing, I just want to see you more." ”

Tsubaki Ji's cheeks flushed crimson, and she turned away shyly, and Lu Yunsheng left Cuiting Zhai with a big laugh.
