Chapter 17: Qingqingzi Pei (I)
One.
In the spring of the twenty-first year of the king of Chenfang, in the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, the flowers bloom and fall, the flowers fall and bloom again, some people are alive, and some people are dead.
Two.
The Guanyin willow in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion has drawn new shoots, and just after February, the peach blossoms in early spring have bloomed. Another year passed, and I became more and more accustomed to the work of the prime minister, and my wife's belly grew bigger day by day. However, when it comes to the overall marital status of our family, it is not optimistic.
I don't know why, this generation, most of the children in our family, are still playing singles.
In addition to the third brother and me, who have married a wife a long time ago, and now their children can go to the street to play soy sauce, the marriage of the fourth sister, the fifth brother, the sixth sister, the seventh brother and the eighth sister is still the third brother's heart. The fourth sister wants to do business for the rest of her life, and she hates being bound, so it is estimated that she will not marry easily; The fifth brother is stupid, although because of his handsome appearance and prominent family background, there are still many women who are willing to marry him, but he doesn't like any of them, and he loses his temper every time; Although the sixth sister has a gentle temper and the embroidery is also very good, the third brother also intends to connect her with Ye Shuluo, but the strange thing is that Ye Shuluo does not marry a wife, which makes the third brother very depressed, so I have to comfort him, "Maybe there will be a better person in the sixth sister's life"; Seventh Brother has a withdrawn personality and only loves to play chess, and he is often together with the famous female chess player of Chenguo, Cong Yilian, but their friendship with gentlemen is as light as water, so light that there is nothing; As for the eighth sister, her heart is too high, and ordinary men can't look down on her.
I watched my little nephew Zhou Zhaochang come back from the third brother's mansion, and it happened that Du Duzhen brought me a letter. If it weren't for the last time I saw him at the national teacher, I really didn't know that he had been secretly doing the things of the Hades team, spying on intelligence in the name of traveling around the world, and thinking about people, it wasn't what it seemed. He said in the letter that he and Feng Ge settled in the border city of Siguo, and brought a jar of Kunlun to him. I also occasionally write letters with Feng Ge, the last time I wrote to tell her that her wife had a child, this time I wrote back to Du Duan, and said that if it was a girl, her daughter would be his red.
I also look forward to being a daughter, I am different from the third brother, the third brother always wants to have more boys for the Zhou family, and I like girls, I am looking forward to giving birth to two daughters, I even imagine their personalities, my sister is calm, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart; My sister is clever, so it's best to learn some martial arts.
I was having a sweet dream when suddenly a magic sound pierced my ears.
"Yu Lan Yu Lan! Go to the Midnight Tower! β
Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, this is He Yunsheng's style.
ββ¦ Yes? "When the dream vanished, I returned to the tired real world, and I looked up weakly.
He Yunsheng stepped into the study with one foot and immediately braked the car with the other foot, looked me up and down for a while, and then said: "Ouch, I'll go, these two black circles, ouch, I'll go, this little yellow face, I'll go, the black clouds floating overhead... Yulan, are you cursed? β
"Don't mess with me, I'm dying of exhaustion." I stretched, feeling limp, I leaned on my desk and got up, "Wait, I'll go change my clothes." β
"Otherwise, don't go, I think you're going to faint." He Yunsheng followed me, as if to prevent me from accidentally falling, "You can rest at home." β
"I've been watching the music at home for four days in a row, I'm going crazy, I went out to relax and relax today, listen to the music, I listened to the fourth sister, and wrote a new tune, soft red singing, Zhao Shishi's dance, the venue was full."
Hearing Master Zhao, He Yunsheng immediately became interested: "Then you change quickly, let's go quickly." β
The girls in the Midnight Building, according to the time of arrival, have different names and generations. Like soft red, soft blue and soft purple, it is a soft character; There are also people who listen to the rain, the waves, and the snow, that is, to listen to the words. Only this Zhao Shishi, when he came, he brought his own name, and he didn't change his name, and he danced Wucheng as soon as he came.
Master Zhao came later than Softgreen, and he is about the same age as Softqing, so I heard that he has a good relationship with Softqing. Master Zhao is famous for his dancing, and his excellent figure makes people feel numb when they look at it. The fourth sister said that Master Zhao came from Changge.
Speaking of long songs, not only Chenguo, but also famous in the twelve countries, Changge is the largest city in Chenguo except Wucheng, known as "Lecheng". Changge is on the western border of Chenguo, located at the junction of Yin, Wei and Chen, and is a big trading city. People say that "the girl of the long song is the boy of Yuzhou", the long song produces a beautiful woman, and the son of Yuzhou comes out, it is said that the national teacher is also a long singer, and Ge Tianyan, thinking that Changge is really a magical place.
Zhao Shishi's dance ticket is extremely expensive, still in demand, many officials and eunuchs in Wucheng daughters just to buy her a dance, it is really "Wuling young and young fight for the head, a song of red silk I don't know", from the establishment of the Midnight Tower, the only person who created this unprecedented grand scene is Zhao Shishi. Master Zhao has become less and less fond of dancing recently, so it is extremely rare for her to come out to dance again. He Yunsheng and I hurried to the midnight building, chatted with the fourth sister about the child's situation as usual, and went in to listen to the play and watch the dance.
Soft red is also a very famous girl in the midnight building, I heard that her family was originally singing, but her parents died early, and the soft red entered the midnight building. Playing a little soft red is very good at singing, and soft red likes Du Duzhen very much, basically the whole night tower knows it, Du Duzhen also loves the soft red voice, every time he comes to the soft red play. However, since Du Duzhen left Wucheng with Feng Ge, the soft red has been cowardly, so I told He Yunsheng that Du Duzhen is really blue-faced and troublesome, and this kind of person should be immersed in the pig cage.
He Yunsheng and I were intoxicated with the song and dance of the warbler, when suddenly someone behind me called my name coldly, pulling me back from the gentle warbler cry.
"Zhou Yulan."
βοΌβ
Because of the relationship between the fourth sister, He Yunsheng and I sit in the front row every time, the closest place to the stage, and the one who can sit behind me must be a bull, either rich, powerful, or good-looking. I just thought this voice was very familiar, but I didn't remember which son's voice was in Wucheng. And now the boy who dares to call me by my name is sitting next to me, looking at the stage motionless with his eyes, so who is it? Driven by curiosity, I turned my head and saw a familiar and beautiful face.
"Wu... Princess. I stiffly changed my name.
She was wearing the costume of Chenguo, with a Chenguo-style bun and a white hosta on her head that I had given her before, making her look like a native of Chenguo.
"Yulan, look, look!" He Yunsheng slapped me hard, I was stunned and unmoved, He Yunsheng turned his head to see what I was looking at, but when he saw her, he was more excited than me, and he stammered with excitement: "Wu Wu Wu Zipei!" You... What are you here for? β
"I haven't seen you in eight years, do you two just want to say this to me?" Wu Zipei said lightly.
"I don't know what the princess wants to hear, you might as well say it, we two civilians are naturally what the princess wants to hear and say. And the princess is alone outside but no one follows her, it is inevitably dangerous, and the princess is the heir of the country, so it is irresponsible for the people of the country to be careless. "My tone was deliberately very rusty, and I deliberately kept my distance from Wu Zipei.
"I'm no longer the heir of the country." Wu Zipei's expression when she said this was as if she was telling me that she was wearing clothes today, "Cousin went back." β
"Ying Zhongqing? Back to Weiguo?! He Yunsheng was so frightened that he almost fell down with weak legs, "Isn't he in Yangri Palace?" β
I actually knew about Ying Zhongqing's return to China, but I didn't tell He Yunsheng, so now I can only pretend to be surprised. I always felt that Wu Zipei would talk endlessly, there were many people here and it was unsafe, so I immediately took them to the Qinglong private room on the second floor of the Midnight Building.
There are four private rooms on the second floor of the Midnight Building, there are absolute sound insulation measures, if it is not for the people who have a relationship with the fourth sister, it is impossible to use these four private rooms, without the permission of the people inside, people outside can not come in, talk here, absolutely safe.
The three of us sat down, and He Yunsheng didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now: "What did you just say?" β
"Two months ago, my cousin returned to Weiguo with the support of the remnants of the Weijing Dynasty, just like my father back then, and launched a blitzkrieg against us, and at that time my father knew that it turned out that they had been in ambush for more than ten years and had been preparing for more than ten years. My cousin did not alarm the people, and directly staged a coup d'Γ©tat in the palace, and I happened to go out that day and escaped. When I heard about the coup in the palace, I fled. My cousin beheaded my father in front of the whole country, but I was told that it was not my father, which means that my father was not dead. But all my brothers and sisters were killed by him, and I don't know what he was up to. Wu Zipei had a faint sadness on his face, "Anyway, my father's throne is not right." β
"Princess, it's your brothers and sisters who are dead." He Yunsheng said, "Why are you so cold." β
"Aren't you cold to me? It can be seen that human affection is really thin. β
He Yunsheng and I looked at each other a little awkwardly.
Looking at Wu Zipei, my mind was pulled back to many, many years ago.
Wu Zipei, Princess Yiyuan of Weiguo, to be precise, Ying Zhongqing will be left in Chenguo, all thanks to her father. Wu Zipei is Ying Zhongqing's cousin, her father usurped the throne, killed his sister and brother-in-law, and wanted to kill his nephew by the way, but because Chen Guo has not handed over Ying Zhongqing, he has not succeeded.
I, Zhou Yulan, when I was thirteen years old, met Wu Zipei, the princess of Weiguo, who traveled around the world, and she was my first love.
Madame forbids me to marry a concubine, and if she knows that I have a first love, and that this person is still a princess of the country, she will definitely skin me and cramp me and let my son change his surname.
Peeling cramps are small, and the son's surname change is big.
My bad fate with Wu Zipei, everything originated from a spring day in the thirteenth year of King Ping, a famous female chess player in Chenguo from Yi Lian in the casino to play chess, I, He Yunsheng and Du Duzhen made an appointment to go to the casino to watch the excitement. If I had known that I would have met Wu Zipei when I went to see the excitement this time, I wouldn't have gotten to death.
became famous from a young man, because he played chess with the dream lover of the boudoir woman of Chenguo at that time, Zhang Jingyan, who was known as the fairy, who lost a game and made a painting, Zhang Jingyan lost thirty-six games in a row, and made a group of thirty-six beauties.
However, for some unknown reason, Zhang Jingyan disappeared, and most people agree that Zhang Jingyan is dead. Now Cong Yi Lian is still the same Cong Yi Lian, but the person who plays chess with her is no longer Zhang Jingyan, things are people, which is embarrassing.
"Who's that person, the one with the money in front of him." He Yunsheng asked, "And calm, it seems to be very powerful?" β
"Oh, that's Qi Xing, known as the God of Gambling, very famous in the western part of Chenguo, and has been in Wucheng in recent years." Du Duzhen said, "It is said that Qi Xing has never been defeated. β
He Yunsheng and Du Duzhen were discussing the God of Gambling, and I had been flirting with a little girl with pink carvings. She was surrounded by a lot of people, who were about the same age as me, and they kept smiling at me, and I smiled at her, and then the two of them laughed at each other.
At that time, I only felt a move in my heart, like the joy of the cherry blossoms and peach blossoms in Wucheng, and I didn't know what love was, and the two children could laugh for a long time when they smirked at each other.
He Yunsheng and Du Duzhen are both older than me, and they have long been mixed among women, seeing that I didn't care about them, but were looking at the little girl, He Yunsheng immediately pushed me and said, "Yulan, take a gamble." β
"I don't bring any money, I don't gamble." I simply refused.
He Yunsheng rolled his eyes and handed the jade pendant on Du Duzhen's waist to Xiao Er: "Go and exchange it for 8,000 baht." β
Du Duzhen was naturally not to be outdone, snatched the sword from He Yunsheng's waist, and threw it to Xiao Er: "Eight thousand is enough, Qi Xing is all gambling with 10,000 baht." Xiao Er, take a look at this sword, estimate the price, and go and invite Mr. Qi. β
I didn't mean to gamble, but I saw that the girl kept looking at this side, and I didn't want to lose face in front of her, so I said, "Bet, bet!" β
Du Duzhen clapped his hands and smiled: "The interest is here, Xiao Er, why don't you go and invite Mr. Qi soon." β
Xiao Er hurriedly left, in order to be able to get a landslide victory, I secretly ran to find foreign aid on the grounds of going to the toilet.
Qi Xing heard that there were a few young people here who were very angry, and they should have been arrogant, so they didn't want to pay attention to it, until they saw He Yunsheng's sword, so they obediently came to gamble.
He Yunsheng's sword has no practical value, just an ornamental sword, but it was given by King Ping when He Yunsheng was born, and the scabbard is carved with a dragon to go to sea, and it is also inlaid with an imperial green that is difficult to change in the Chen Kingdom.
"Hey, Yulan, don't lose my sword." He Yunsheng and Du Duanan took a good time to find a high place and shouted at me, watching the excitement with great interest.
Although Qi Xing knows my identity, he is still arrogant, and most of his true temperament is like this.
"Bet on what?" Qi Xing didn't seem to believe that a thirteen-year-old kid could win against him.
"Chess." I said.
