Chapter 81: Meet Again
walked out of Hua Weiyang's room and returned to the lobby, inevitably being hated by those who came to cheer, but Hua Weiyang said that he couldn't get sick, and they had no other way, so they each found their usual friendship and had fun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Childe."
Seeing Liu Xi coming, Wu Shuang'er, who was squatting at the top of the stairs, stepped forward, the worries and troubles between his eyebrows disappeared, and he muttered silently in his heart, "It's just half a cup of tea, and the son and the woman in red will definitely have nothing to do with it." ”
It must be so.
The little girl thought to herself, followed Liu Xi's side, and walked to the previous table, where Tian Xun'er, who looked upstairs from time to time, saw a few people coming, and then hid the nervousness in her eyes.
These will inevitably be seen by Lin Yi on the side, in his eyes, the talented and beautiful woman is also a perfect match, so he just smiled and drank tea and gossiped with Xiao Wu.
"Yusheng, do you see the oiran? How is it, but the rumors are so beautiful as flowers? ”
Before Liu Xi could sit down, Xiao Wu leaned out and asked, obviously, he was quite curious about Hua Weiyang's appearance.
"I said a few words, but I didn't see it, and when I have the opportunity, I let you take a look."
Answering with a smile, Liu Xi swept his eyes and found that Ma Xiu didn't know where he went, and the lord of Shurou was nowhere to be seen.
Looking back, there were two fewer guards on the other side before, which confirmed his guess, thinking that Ma Xiu could relieve the pain of lovesickness for many days, and he was very happy now.
"Oh no, Sister Ming is gone!"
Li Ze's low cry came from his ears, Liu Xi understood that Ma Xiu's good time was coming to an end, and he knew that this was the case, and he should have stayed in Hua Weiyang's room for more time.
didn't see Ma Xiu, Li Mengxiao naturally knew the reason for Li Ming's departure, and was secretly happy for her in her heart, and she also saw everything that should be seen in the heart building this month, so she took Li Ze's hand and said, "Sister Ming wants to go out to run errands, let's go look for her." ”
As he spoke, Li Mengxiao glanced at Liu Xi, hesitated, and only spoke after a while, "Liu Xi, can you go out for a walk with us?" ”
"Good, dare to disobey your fate."
Liu Xi responded with a smile, no matter how elegantly the place of Yuexinlou is arranged, it is the land of fireworks after all, after Hua Weiyang returned to the room, the people who were looking for pleasure retreated to the second, hugged the bewitching woman, the waves of laughter continued, and continued to stay here, wouldn't it pollute the eyes and ears of Wu Shuang'er and Tian Xun'er?
A few people came out of the Yuexin Building, Li Mengxiao stopped and looked at the crowded market, and the black jade beads turned in her big eyes, "Sister Ming likes birds, she must have gone to Sanshan Street in the south of the city to find her there." ”
"But, Sister, Sister Ming doesn't like calligraphy and painting......"
Li Ze muttered quietly, and before he finished speaking, he glared at Li Mengxiao and didn't dare to say much, and lowered his head with some doubts and grievances.
"Ze'er, there are some things you don't understand."
A little flustered in her heart, Li Mengxiao turned her head to look at Liu Xi who was behind her, and saw that he was talking and laughing with Xiao Wu there, as if he didn't hear what Li Ze said.
Fortunately, Li Mengxiao raised her feet and walked forward, while Liu Xi looked at her back and smiled a little brighter.
Walking through the frolicking street market, for a long time, the ears are full of birdsong, to Sanshan Street, as far as the eye can see, there are countless birds, from time to time someone carries a bird cage to walk by, there are a few birds in the cage that Liu Xi can not call the name of the fluttering wings.
Seeing the fun place, Wu Shuang'er pulled Tian Xun'er and walked forward happily, looked left and right, and looked again, which was very strange.
Liu Xi, who had never been here, also watched it with him, there were many varieties of birds, and he couldn't recognize them all, so he probably watched it lively.
After playing for most of the hour, Liu Xi wanted to buy a bird for Wu Shuang'er to make a plaything, and also to pass the time of idleness, but unfortunately the little girl felt that it was a little unbearable to keep the bird in a cage, so she had to give up.
However, there is a Hu merchant in the Western Regions in Sanshan Street, and the birds he sells are also peculiar, and there is a starling among them, who said a few words from someone he didn't know where to learn, which made Li Mengxiao very happy.
Thinking of the help she gave a few days ago, Liu Xi bought the starling worth one hundred taels and made a gift of thanks.
I walked around the Flower and Bird Street, but I didn't see Li Ming, and Li Mengxiao, who was carrying the starling, had to make a panicked appearance, "If Sister Ming is not here, where will she go?" ”
Liu Xi didn't go to debunk it, he looked at the sky with a smile, the sun had moved west, and Ma Xiu should also have fun with the county lord of Shurou, so he said loudly, "There are many prosperous scenes in Jialing City, maybe the county lord has gone elsewhere, but now that it is getting late, I should go to Yuexinlou to find me and wait." ”
"It seems to make some sense......"
So, everyone went towards the Yuexin Tower again, and on the way, Liu Xi asked Xiao Wu to find two carriages to walk, otherwise when they got there, I was afraid that they would already be on the moon.
Sure enough, when I arrived at Yuexin Tower, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Li Ming who was looking forward to it, and when I saw Liu Xi and others, there was a touch of red on my face.
The hour was not early, and he sneaked out of the palace, Li Mengxiao didn't stay long, and after saying a few words to Liu Xi, he pulled Li Ming and Li Ze into the carriage again.
The carriage left, mixed in the endless crowd, and soon disappeared, but Li Mengxiao's cheerful laughter was still faintly audible.
seems to be joking with Li Ming.
"Okay, now, don't look like you've lost your soul."
Xiao Wu tugged at the horse embroidery that looked at the carriage disappeared and put it down, and continued with a wink, "Hurry up and tell everyone where you went just now." ”
With spring in his eyes, Ma Xiu shook the fan, everyone thought that he was going to say something, and they all pricked up their ears and wanted to listen to the excitement, who knew that the latter raised his head and snorted, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”
After that, Ma Xiu laughed and walked forward, full of the smug appearance of the spring breeze, seeing Xiao Wu couldn't help but stomp his feet and scolded, "What a bastard who forgets his friends!" ”
Without giving up, Xiao Wu chased after him again, and along the way, the two of them inevitably had to tease their mouths, making Liu Xi and them laugh frequently.
As for what Ma Xiu and the county lord Shurou did that day, it became a mystery in everyone's hearts, but with this meeting, the anxiety hidden in Ma Xiu's heart seemed to disappear, and he indulged in wantonness, drinking and reciting scrolls with Liu Xi and Lin Yi, and his temperament was free and easy.
Although it is closed, but there are people of the same way all day long, spring to summer, but also pass quickly, in a blink of an eye, it is to the time when the flowers fall in front of the hall, and the green willows by the river hang down the embankment.
Midsummer is the most annoying season for Liu Xi, even if he is not afraid of the cold and heat with his practice, but this season brings a sense of restlessness, which makes it difficult for him to change.
In the courtyard, Liu Xi looked up at the sky and smacked his lips and said, "Alas, as soon as the day is bright, this cicada will come out to annoy people." ”
Hearing his words, Xiao Wu picked up the stones placed at his feet, and hit a few of them, and his ears suddenly became clear.
Seeing Liu Xi turn his head, Xiao Wu shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Now, it should stop." ”
Suddenly, he couldn't hear the sound of cicadas, Liu Xi felt a little uncomfortable, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, but he knew in his heart that the irritability in his body for no reason was not because of the scorching summer day, nor because of the cicadas that pierced the eardrums, but because of the scientific examination that was getting closer and closer.
It is now the end of July, and in two months it will turn into autumn, and it is at that time that the autumn festival, which is very important to him, will be held.
People from all over Li Tang rushed to Jialing City, and in the middle of summer, Jialing City also became uneasy because of the arrival of these literati.
Although Liu Xi is a closed-door greeting, there are often people who come, come, and do not leave, composing poems and writing poems there through the door, and there are many talented people.
If you want to take revenge, you must take off the crown of the scientific examination, because only the champion in the middle can have the opportunity to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, otherwise how can you control the government, and how can you pour the national strength of Li Tang to destroy the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty?
Liu Xi was pacing in the courtyard, Ma Xiu and others walked out one after another, but no one stepped forward to disturb him, and the courtyard was so quiet that he could only hear the sound of the morning breeze.
After a while, I thought it was too quiet, a cicada flew from elsewhere and screamed, Xiao Wu picked up the stone and was about to hit it, but was stopped by Liu Xi, "Forget it, this is its season, or have it go, it's okay today, how about going out for a walk after breakfast?" ”
I haven't been out for a long time, maybe I can dissolve the restlessness in my heart by distracting my heart.
Everyone has been bored in the courtyard for a long time, and they can go out in twos and threes on weekdays, but it is not as interesting as everyone playing together, so Liu Xi's proposal made them all nod their heads and say hello.
After breakfast, the group went out of the courtyard, the market was much more lively than in the past, everywhere you could see a group of people wearing long robes reading people walking by, quoting scriptures and classics, talking happily, and more people who were not convinced tried on the street, attracting a group of onlookers to look at it with relish.
Take a look around, Liu Xi's mood is much better, and when it is time for lunch, he picks a restaurant and eats wine and food by the window.
Looking at the street scene, chatting and gossiping, it was also leisurely, eating, but he heard the sound of gongs sounding on the street, and following the reputation, Liu Xi saw a column of soldiers escorting three or two prisoner carts.
It turned out to be a woman in the prisoner's car, the crimson wounds between the ragged clothes were shocking, and the long hair that was scattered covered her face, and she couldn't see what it looked like for a while.
"What kind of crime is this, and I want to ask for beheading."
Lin Yi said in a low voice, the direction of the carriage is the entrance of the vegetable market in Jialing City, and the sky is almost noon, three o'clock in the afternoon, the yang energy is the strongest, and the beheading of prisoners in the imperial court has always been set at this moment.
"Childe, it seems to be those women in the painting of Yuexinlou."
Wu Shuang'er exclaimed, and it happened that one of them raised his head, and Liu Xi also recognized it, it was the woman in purple who served him a tea set in Hua Weiyang's room that day.
How could it be them!
At this time, Ma Xiu coughed lightly and said, "A few days ago, Emperor Tang was assassinated on the way to the mansion of the Tanglin King, and I think it was them who did it. ”
Sensing that Liu Xi was looking at him, Ma Xiu said again, "The news is so tightly blocked, I also overheard it, and I thought it was some gossip pulled out by boring people, so I didn't pay attention to it." ”
No longer looking at Ma Xiu, Liu Xi stared at the prisoner cart surrounded by many lively people, and his brows wrung unconsciously.
Who are these women?
The Han and Tang dynasties have been grudges for a long time, could it be that they are the killers sent by Liu Si of the Western Han Dynasty?
For a while, countless puzzles surged in Liu Xi's heart, but for some reason, the red-clothed and masked figure appeared in his mind, there was no Hua Weiyang in the prisoner car just now, where did she go?
Because of the execution of prisoners by the imperial court, the streets and alleys were suddenly empty, Liu Xi and others had lunch, rested in the restaurant for a while, avoided the scorching heat at noon, and walked to the street.
On the road, there were passers-by talking about the situation of the court, some said that the death row prisoner was a beautiful woman, some said that the death row prisoner was a spy of another country, and some said that the knife fell and the head rolled off the bloody scene.
Other people's affairs are always painless and painless before and after dinner.
Secretly said to himself, Liu Xi lost interest even more, and planned to go back to the courtyard, Ma Xiu and the others saw the change in his expression, and said that it was hot and people were tired, and went back with Liu Xi.
Through the hustle and bustle, and the alley was roasted by the hot sun, Liu Xi and the others were just about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, when a figure flashed out and slammed into the brown brick wall on one side.
Liu Xi blocked in front of Wu Shuang'er with an arrow step, and Xiao Wu rushed over, the figure struggled on the ground, glanced at them, and seemed to laugh.
"If life is only as it was the first time I saw it, I didn't expect that this first time I saw it again."
This voice seemed familiar, and after being stunned for a moment, Liu Xi came back to his senses, and the person in front of him was Hua Weiyang.
