Chapter 21: Innocence
The sky is slightly bright, and a line of pedestrians has come out one after another in Baili Lane, with identity sitting in a sedan chair, without identity hooking shoulders and backs, these are all pilgrims who came to look for flowers and willows last night, although I don't know what the scene was last night, but I am afraid that they have contributed a lot to see their soft hands and soft feet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
At this time, people were all walking out, but a group of more than a dozen people walked into Baili Lane in good spirits, and people were amazed.
The first member of the group was Hu Tiande, followed by Sun Changzhi, followed by more than a dozen palace guards, all dressed in civilian clothes and not wearing military uniforms.
Sun Changzhi hurried two steps to catch up with Hu Tiande and complained: "Brother Hu, do you need to be in such a hurry, the brothers were called up as soon as the sky was bright." Then the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is poked in this hundred miles of alleys, are you afraid that they will not be able to escape? β
Hu Tiande glanced at him and said, "Do you think I remembered it so early, and it wasn't Chang Da's order." β
Sun Changzhi followed two more steps before he came back to his senses and asked, "But the chamberlain Chang next to our prince?" β
Hu Tiande hummed and said, "Isn't it him, if it's someone else, I need to be so nervous?" β
Sun Changzhi said with a straight face: "Father-in-law Chang's order, then it must be taken seriously, but he said that let us go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find anyone, can't we bring back all the women in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which one does our son fancy in the end?" β
Hu Tiande said: "Then do you need to ask, that Yingxiang girl is twenty-eight years old, handsome, delicate and weak, which is just the appetite of our son." Besides, didn't the prince make a move yesterday because of Miss Yingxiang, who is Miss Yingxiang? β
Sun Changzhi shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, I look at the old bustard jade girl's graceful posture and plump body, maybe our son wants to change the taste, and I look at the prince of the world to see the eyes of the jade lady of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is also quite affectionate." β
Hu Tiande thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, yesterday when the prince kicked the door with great might, I saw him holding Liu Yuniang's hand and never let go." β
Sun Changzhi was puzzled: "Then which one shall we go to?" β
Hu Tiande sighed but didn't speak, and Sun Changzhi asked again: "Brother Hu, which one shall we go to?" β
Hu Tiande hated iron and said: "Shizi said well, the brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't have it." I said that you have been with me for so long, and I have never seen you have a bright mind, but you are eating more and more, can't we bring both back? β
Sun Changzhi patted his head: "Oh, look at my brain, it's still Brother Hu's thoughtfulness." He walked two steps with his head bored and asked, "Brother Hu, why didn't the prince tell me what he said when he didn't have a brain, but he told you?" β
Hu Tiande said angrily: "What do you say, it's not that I'm afraid that you won't be able to think about it!" β
When Sun Changzhi heard this, he pricked his head down again, and said sadly: "It's strange, being a guard these days doesn't look like loyalty and kung fu, but also depends on your brain......
The two walked for a while, and Sun Changzhi asked again: "Brother Hu, how much silver did you bring with you, is it enough to redeem their aunt and nephew of the Liu family?" β
Hu Tiande's body suddenly scolded in a low voice: "I said that you can use your brain?" What are we going to do with the money? β
Sun Changzhi suddenly said: "It turns out that you don't need to redeem yourself?" β
"Aren't you talking nonsense? The bustards have all gone back, how can they open the Xiaoxiang Pavilion? When the time comes, people will collect money twice, really our palace is doing charity, and yesterday was busy helping them? β
As soon as Sun Changzhi heard this, he moved his hands and feet while walking, and said: "Also, Brother Hu, you will watch from the side later, if they don't know each other, I will clean them up!" β
Hu Tiande grabbed him by the neck and scolded: "You tiger? When the time comes, won't they just deceive their principals, and when they get to the palace, will they still come out? Are you still thinking about what to do, if you break that little beauty, you are not afraid that the world will pick your skin? β
Sun Changzhi turned into a wilted eggplant under repeated blows: "Okay, good, when the time comes, I will listen to you, Brother Hu, I will do it if you say it, I will do it, I will never say more than half a word!" β
Hu Tiande sighed and said, "Take the two of you to rent a carriage so that you can bring those two girls back!" He watched Sun Changzhi lead people away, and after walking away, he shook his head and said aggrievedly: "But I'm worried to death, just such a guy, why does the prince say with a conscience that my brain is not as good as him?" β
β¦β¦
In the backyard of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, at this time, Yu Niang and Yingxiang were sitting together drinking porridge, Yingxiang's eyes were wooden, and she was holding a spoon in her hand to stir the bowl of barley porridge back and forth, but she didn't drink it, obviously distracted.
Yu Niang asked, "Xiang'er, what's wrong, but is this porridge unappetizing?" β
Yingxiang came back to her senses when she heard this, lowered her head and shook it.
Yu Niang sighed and comforted: "Let the past pass, clean up after breakfast, who knows when there will be guests coming to the door?" β
Ying Xiang suddenly raised her head when she heard this, her big eyes turned twice and two lines of tears flowed out, she opened her mouth several times but didn't say anything, and finally buried her head in her arm before she finally mustered up the courage to choke and said, "Auntie, I'm ...... I don't want to do this cheap business in this Xiaoxiang Pavilion anymore. β
Seeing Yingxiang crying, Yu Niang thought of what happened yesterday, and her heart was also miserable, so she took Yingxiang into her arms and said: "Both of us are hard-working people, but if we don't use this method, what other way can we avenge your father in the sea of blood?" β
Yingxiang hugged Yu Niang with her backhand and cried: "How can I forget that my father was killed by the eunuchs, and I have such a deep hatred in the sea of blood? But the two of us escaped with our lives in this Luoyang City, hoping to meet a merry man with status, so that I could win their favor, and try to redress my father's grievances through them, but then? How can people who value love and righteousness come to this dusty place, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are the most dignitaries and nobles, and it is the most suitable place to go, but our identity is not to go. β
Yingxiang saw that Yu Niang didn't speak, so she said again: "After yesterday's incident, auntie, don't you understand?" If there is no boy in brocade, I am afraid that the ironclad case can be overturned, and their dog officials, officials and officials protect each other, where can they go to find the Qing officials who are willing to avenge my father? Now that the eunuch party is so powerful, Wei Zhongxian's ancestral halls are built everywhere, and which official is willing to abandon the glory and wealth and fight with the eunuch party? β
Xiaoxiang Pavilion also had some curious rich boys, just caressing the qin and making Xiao, and they also admired Yingxiang very much, but as soon as they heard that they had other plans, they all walked away. In ancient times, if ordinary women wanted to squeeze into the center of power and be able to exert some influence, in addition to rebellion, entering the Qinglou was a choice, and entering the palace was also a choice.
It's just that the two of them can't enter the palace because of their sensitive identities, so they can only set up a Xiaoxiang Pavilion in this Baili Lane. I hope that the reputation can attract some official eunuchs to take the bait and help them charge into battle. But the two of them are not deeply involved in the world, and they are not natural conspirators, I thought that the seamless plan was just a dream of Cinderella wanting to marry the prince, if it weren't for a few old people under him, this Xiaoxiang Pavilion would not have been open for a year at all.
Yu Niang hesitated and said: "Your father was not killed by Gonggong Wei, but was killed by Wang Hu, I think that Wang Hu is not very powerful, just a small tax supervisor, someone must be willing to come forward for us." β
Seeing that her aunt still didn't let go, Yingxiang broke out of Yu Niang's arms and said, "Yes, but who can help us?" β
Yu Niang was stunned and couldn't answer, the room fell into a moment of silence, and the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts.
After Yingxiang finished speaking, she buried her head in her arm again, and couldn't help but think of the terrible experience yesterday, her eyes were tightly closed, but the suave brocade boy who was yesterday appeared in front of her, and sighed faintly in her heart: "How can that son be so rude to me like me, and I forgot to ask the name of the son." β
Yu Niang also thought of Zhu Yousong at this time, after they came back yesterday, they thought carefully about the cause and effect, only to find something strange, Wang Xianling was because of Zhu Yousong's attitude will be respectful, understanding that he let go of a big person, and couldn't help but regret in his heart: "I forgot to ask the name of the son." The aunt and nephew looked at each other as if they had a heart, and then looked elsewhere.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the house, and Yu Niang glanced at Yingxiang and said, "You eat something first, I'll go out and have a look." β
Yingxiang answered and picked up the spoon again, but the spoon was still stirring back and forth in the bowl, thinking about her thoughts in a daze, and she didn't take a bite.
Yu Niang was shocked when she came out of the embroidery building, and saw that the small courtyard of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was full of people, and the people in Xiaoxiang Hall were all old people brought out by Yu Niang, and the fat cook who turned a big spoon yesterday was also in the courtyard, at this time he did not hold a spoon but held a rolling pin.
When the cook saw Yu Niang coming out, he came over and said, "Sister Yu, it's those two people from yesterday." β
"Who?"
"It's the two people that the brocade-clothed boy brought yesterday."
Yu Niang was inexplicably happy and asked, "But that son is here?" β
The fat cook shook his head and said, "No, just look at the two of them, and I don't know anyone else." β
Yu Niang nodded, looked at it for a moment and recognized Hu Tiande who was the head, then stepped forward and thanked Ying Yingyi and said: "Thank you for the grace of the strong man for saving yesterday, my Xiaoxiang Pavilion suffered a lot of losses yesterday, and I wanted to come to thank you after cleaning up, but I was so panicked yesterday that I forgot to ask where your mansion was, which was really rude." As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd and didn't find Zhu Yousong's figure, and felt a little lost in his heart: "Why don't you see your son?" β
Hu Tiande said with a smile: "My son-in-law is in the house, and we are here to invite you and Miss Yingxiang to come to the house." β
Yu Niang asked with joy in her heart: "I don't know where your mansion is, whose family it is?" β
Hu Tiande said vaguely: "My mansion is not far from here, just three streets after Baili Lane." β
Before Yu Niang could ask to understand, Hu Tiande asked: "Miss Yingxiang can be in the house, if you are there, please come out as well." β
Seeing that the person who came was respectful, and it was a righteous man who helped yesterday, Yu Niang had no vigilance in her heart, so she arranged for the people brought by Hu Tiande to return to the embroidery building of Yingxiang.
Seeing that Yingxiang was still sitting there, Yu Niang walked over and said with a smile: "Xiang'er, if you are not hungry, don't eat, hurry up and clean up, and go out with me to meet a distinguished guest later." β
Yingxiang sighed and asked, "Auntie, the scale of our Xiaoxiang Pavilion is so small, where will there be any distinguished guests?" It's not rude people, it's all rich people, how can they help us? β
Yu Niang sighed and said, "This time it's different, but there is a son." β
Yingxiang muttered, "Childe? It's not that I haven't been to the son, those sons are all gold and jade, can they have half the demeanor of the son yesterday? β
Seeing Yingxiang's dejected appearance, Yu Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "It's the son yesterday!" β
Yingxiang's stunned appearance suddenly brightened: "Really? β
"Really! Go and clean up, if we win the favor of that son, we will have some hope for my hatred. β
Yu Niang dressed up Yingxiang and went out, instructed everyone in Xiaoxiang Pavilion a few words, and got into the carriage that Sun Changzhi had just rented. It's just that the two of them don't know that they will never come back.
There are still a lot of naΓ―ve women, and there are not a few women who love fantasy, and two white rabbit-like women are discussing together in a vain attempt to abduct the big bad wolf and eat the fox, and I don't know how much this probability is. It's just that whether their dreams can be fulfilled depends on whether God likes naΓ―ve children or not.
