27, Guan flutter
On the fifteenth, it was called "hope", and on the sixteenth, it was called "hope", and today it was hopeful, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited Yimei Courtyard early, as if entering a no-man's land. Biyu despised it in her heart: it was usually the prince who came secretly when he went to bed, but tonight's dinner was useless, so he came in a grand manner.
"Brother Ling, you came so early today, do you want to have dinner with Mei'er?"
Zhao Ling Xu Zhi: "The moon of fifteen is sixteen round, Brother Ling will take you to the south of the city to eat crabs and admire the moon." ”
Shangshufu is in the west of the city, and it takes two quarters of an hour to drive a horse to the south of the city. Qingfeng Tower is the most famous place in Beijing to enjoy the cool weather, and it is five stories high. In recent years, the top floor has been closed, not allowed to climb high and look far away, Guy can see the Xuande Building in the inner part of the eye, and see the palace maid and eunuch walking in it, the demeanor is very wonderful. However, Zhao Ling is a royal family, and the store does not dare to cover the top floor.
Qingfeng Building is built next to the royal street, and the houses next to the road are lined up one after another, which is very prosperous. Snack bars, incense powder shops, garment shops, and wine shops are full of shouts, Lin Qingmei looked at it dizzily in the carriage, Zhao Ling saw this, and took out a hijab to wrap around her, the hijab was boxy, the upper two corners were hung in the hair with hairpins, and the lower two corners were tied to the back of the neck to cover the face.
He led Lin Qingmei for a short distance, and Lin Qingmei watched as she walked, and sighed from time to time: "It's so lively!" "I haven't seen it yet, Qingfeng Tower has arrived. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the restaurant set up a flower shelf in front of the door, with wine flags hanging on it and a drunken fairy statue painted. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, restaurants hang up the wine fairy flag to sell new wine, and once it is sold out, the flag is taken down.
When I went up to Qingfeng Tower, I looked up and saw the full moon hanging in the sky, and the light was quiet. Looking down, there was a sea of lights. Xiao Qingmei leaned on the railing and looked at it, Zhao Lingfang was about to call the table, Quan An suddenly said: "Your Highness, Chu Yintai is here." ”
Chu Yintai is Zhao Ling's henchman guard, he was sent to the frontier to spy on the news some time ago, Zhao Ling turned around and went downstairs, Xiao Qingmei looked into the distance by the railing, and the silver spoon in his hand accidentally fell downstairs. When she saw that there was no one around, she went downstairs to look for it.
The silver spoon downstairs had already been picked up, and Xiao Qingmei searched for a long time and found nothing. At this time, a warm voice asked, "What is the girl looking for?" ”
"Find a spoon!" Xiao Qingmei took a closer look and was very serious.
The boy handed the silver spoon to her: "Is this it?" ”
Lin Qingmei saw it and said happily: "Thank you, that's it." She turned around and entered Qingfeng Building, and after a while, she trotted out again, thinking about the bustling night market and wanting to go out for a walk.
Dou Yanzhang saw that her eyes exposed outside the hijab were clear and moving, and his heart was already rippling, and then he heard her voice ethereal like a yellow warbler's cry, and half of her three souls and seven spirits were lost. But after the beauty thanked him, he left in a hurry, he lingered in a daze, and suddenly saw the beauty come out again, and his heart was happy, thinking that the beauty was interested in herself, who knew that she walked past her without looking away, drowning in the sea of lights.
He hurriedly followed, Lin Qingmei was curious to linger in the small stall beside the road, and the government couldn't help but close during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The so-called Guan Pu is to buy goods by gambling, and if the gambling is lost, the customer's bet will be pocketed by the store, and vice versa, the goods will be pocketed by the customer. When the people of Beijing won the bet, they used a bamboo pole to hang the winning lottery head high and swaggered through the market. Xiao Qingmei walked all the way, and saw an old man hanging on a bamboo pole, with a proud expression, walking three steps and stopping two steps, showing his trophies to passers-by.
On the side of the road, Lin Qingmei stopped for a long time, staring at the two minks, the two minks were snow-white, and the owner shouted an order after jumping, and the two minks stood upright and arched their hands, like people. Xiao Qingmei loves it very much.
A guest asked Mink about the bet, and the host stretched out two fingers: "If it's not twenty taels, don't bet." ”
The people who came were speechless and reluctant to leave. Dou Yanzhang saw that the beauty was staring at Mink intently, but he didn't bring so much money when he went out today. Wei is good at making copper coins, and non-merchants do not make silver ingots, and copper coins of twenty taels of silver have to be pulled by cars. It can be seen that these two minks are only used as a signboard for soliciting, and they are not really intended to be sold.
Xiao Qingmei touched her purse, it was empty and had no money. Dou Yanzhang wanted to see the true face of the beauty Lushan, so he laughed and said, "Why doesn't the girl take the hairpin on her head as a bet?" These pieces of jewelry look precious. ”
Xiao Qingmei then pulled out the hairpin on her head, and the corner of the hijab fell, revealing most of her stunning face, Dou Yanzhang's soul took it, Xiao Qingmei was just about to pull out the other hairpin, and a warm hand stopped her. Zhao Ling's voice sounded in his ears: "Why did Mei'er come out alone?" ”
He inserted the hairpin he took off for her, his gorgeous face was covered again, and Dou Yanzhang's soul slowly returned to its place. When Xiao Qingmei saw Zhao Ling, she pointed at Mink Er and said, "Mei'er wants this." ”
Zhao Ling asked the bet and frowned slightly: "It's too expensive." Although it was expensive, he leaned into his waist without hesitation, took out two silver ingots of ten taels, and asked, "How to bet?" ”
The shopkeeper spilled nineteen copper coins and said, "Literally over ten, two minks are Gongzi's." Otherwise, twenty taels of silver shall be mine. ”
Zhao Ling threw the copper coin, the literal was only ten, Xiao Qingmei counted it for a long time, and was very disappointed, the owner happily put twenty taels of silver in his pocket, thinking that he would not worry about chewing for a year.
Dou Yanzhang obviously didn't expect the son next to the beauty to be so arrogant, twenty taels said that the bet was gambling, and he didn't shake the color when he lost the bet, so he only smiled softly at the beauty: "Brother Ling is not good at gambling on these, Guan Pu will put it for three days, and let Quan An gamble tomorrow." ”
Xiao Qingmei has always been very coaxing, and obediently followed him back. When he went up to Qingfeng Tower, Dr. Jiu had already prepared lotus stamens and crabs. Quan An made eight crabs on the side, and he had already solved two of them. Xiao Qingmei said while eating: "Father-in-law Quan, are you very good at gambling?" ”
Quan An's hand shook: Gambling is forbidden in the palace, how dare he? So he shook his head in Zhao Ling's eager gaze: "No, the seventh girl is really wronged." ”
When Xiao Qingmei heard this, she burst into tears and complained to Zhao Ling: "Brother Ling, Quan An can't either, what should I do?" ”
Zhao Ling scolded: "Stupid slave, you can't gamble money, you always spend money, right?" Whatever it takes, buy the two minks. Quan An asked carefully and went quickly. Half a moment later, he came back and said, "Your Highness, girl, that mink has been gambled away." ”
Xiao Qingmei didn't have a taste for drinking, and she didn't have a taste for eating crabs, her expression was sad, Zhao Ling had no choice but to persuade: "It's just two minks that can be used as tricks, and Ming'er will let Quan Antrain two." ”
"Quan'an!" Zhao Ling glanced at it, and Quan An immediately replied energetically: "Slaves are not good at gambling money, but they know a little bit about training these little pets." ”
Xiao Qingmei burst into tears and laughed: "It has to be exactly the same as those two, snow-white and snow-white." ”
Quan An said yes, and Zhao Ling whispered to himself: "You quickly go and find out who won it and spend some money to buy it back." It takes a long time to train the mink, don't let the seven girls wait too long. Quan An obeyed the order and left.
