Zhang Jing remembered that when Niangniang entered the palace, such a playful appearance was often visible, at that time, he was just an insignificant cleaning eunuch in the palace prison, and what he did on weekdays was to clean the dormitory for the queen mother.

Now, he still remembers that at that time, although it was hard, it was bitter and sweet, because the Queen Mother, no, the queen mother at that time, always liked to smile so playfully, as if she couldn't see any troubles on her face, and even occasionally, she would tease a little eunuch like him.

Zhang Jing remembered that it was precisely because of her laughter that she was young and presumptuous, and she also laughed with her, and was just seen by the big eunuch in charge, and the big eunuch immediately turned pale like earth, gave him a whip, and then kowtowed like pounding garlic, asking for the queen's forgiveness.

At that moment, Zhang Jing became panicked, and he realized that he might have incurred the disaster of killing, and the palace ...... There are rules in the palace.

Just as he was sifting chaff with panic, someone picked him up, and he raised his eyes, and saw the playful smile again, and then the owner of the smiling face, and asked him softly if the place where he had been whipped hurt.

This smile, Zhang Jing remembered it all his life, and later, he slowly became the heart of the queen mother, and slowly began to help the mother do a lot of things, but, since the prince disappeared, the playfulness with a bit of girlish shyness was no longer there.

And today......

The night wind blew, blowing Zhang Jing from his eyes to shed a line of tears, these tears fell like beads.

He took a deep breath, and now, thirteen years, thirteen years......

It took thirteen years to finally find the prince, so there are still many things to do, and what to do next may break you at any time.

It's just that...... Today, when he saw Niangniang's smile again, Zhang Jing's heavy heart suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly felt that no matter what happened when he woke up tomorrow and opened his eyes, it didn't matter anymore.

Protection...... His Royal Highness!

It would be the only thing he, as a disabled and aging body, would have to do.

He slowly raised his head with a little melancholy, and with his tearful eyes, he looked at the source of the lamp, which only shone a faint light, swaying in the wind, as if at any moment, it would be swallowed up by endless darkness, but ...... Light is light, and when it is lit, it cannot be said to be dark.

He firmly believed in his heart that as long as there is light, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, then he must persevere no matter what, until the day of victory.

………………

Compared with the darkness in the queen mother's bedroom, in the market, it is still in the bright lights at this time.

In this dazzling night, Chen Kaizhi, the two brothers, were in the midst of the endless crowds, strolling around the night market outside the Guandi Temple.

At this time, Deng Jian walked and chattered about his life experience: "With Xuejue, you are no longer an ordinary scholar, you are the essence of a scholar, and you are an example of practice, which is just like my Hanlin, but my Hanlin is an example of the people of Dachen, but you are different, you are a model of Xinglin, a defender of etiquette and discipline and Taoism, from now on, I will come to this place less, shame, we are readers, or the essence of readers, in addition to reading, we should go to Meilin, go to the mountains." , or boating on the lake, playing the piano, playing a game, meeting people, to sigh, such as: 'Hey, people's life is limited, and the sea of learning is endless, I hate the ...... of time', or: 'Hearing the Tao, dying at night', in short, ambiguous, to tell others at any time that you are reading, you are still reading good books......"

Chen Kaizhi's ears were almost calloused, and he felt that Deng Jian was pretending to be a little too forced, but he couldn't bear to disturb him, just walked and listened.

"Senior brother will ...... from tomorrow" Deng Jian was still talking to himself, as if he suddenly realized that what he said was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "No, no, from now on, you have to show ......"

"Senior brother, there's roast duck there." Before Deng Jian's words were finished, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but interrupt: "I want to eat roast duck." ”

Deng Jian's eyes suddenly opened, and he exclaimed, "Well, where, where?" ”

In any case, Chen Kaizhi's mood was happy at this time, the two bought food, and then walked back very happily, but when they arrived at Tianxiangfang, the population here was relatively sparse.

Speaking of this place, it is the famous gold cave in Luoyang City, the cost is only not small, and ordinary people dare not stop here.

When Deng Jian arrived here, his pace slowed down a little, holding a roast duck in his hand, but he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at a splendid song tower not far away: "That is Tianxiang Building, Tianxiang Fang, the best song building, the best in Luoyang City, the best here." ”

At this moment, the sound of sheng flute came out from the song building, which was particularly pleasant under the silent night sky, beautiful and intoxicating.

Chen Kaizhi just sighed, saying that he was not interested, this is not a matter of money, but when he was in Jinling, he lived next to Gelou, and he was already immune, so naturally he had no interest.

Deng Jian squinted his eyes and continued: "In this Tianxianglou, there are many talented women, but they don't sell their bodies. ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Senior brother, it's time for me to teach you some life experience." ”

Deng Jian looked at him with disdain, and doubted with satisfaction: "You? ”

Facing the look of disdain on Deng Jian's face, Chen Kaizhi was not annoyed, but said slowly: "Senior brother, in this world, free is the most expensive. ”

"Oh!" Deng Jian was obviously not interested in arguing with Chen Kaizhi, his eyes were fixed on this Tianxianglou, and the two passed by this Tianxianglou.

Suddenly, Deng Jian stopped.

Chen Kaizhi looked at Deng Jian suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Senior brother, what's wrong?" ”

At this moment, the bright lights were shrouding Deng Jian's face, making him particularly delicate, Chen Kaizhi looked at him, but he didn't look at Chen Kaizhi, his eyes were still staring at the song fang, and he said with a regretful face: "Senior brother...... I...... I...... I haven't been in a place like this yet. ”

"Huh?"

This time, it was Chen Kaizhi who looked at him with disdain, raised his eyebrows slightly, and retorted lightly: "You are here, what did you say when I first arrived that day?" Said let me see the world, the song you usually hum is obviously from the song house, and you tell me now that you haven't been there? ”

Deng Jian became cramped and uneasy, his face flushed to the root of his ears, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he shimpered.

"Uh...... Isn't that your first visit? Senior brother wants to catch you and wash the dust, not to mention...... Let alone...... Ay...... It's hard to put into words, actually...... It's for fear of being looked down upon......"

Chen Kaizhi was speechless, senior brother, this official, can be regarded as a dog, you are also worthy of being an official, you are a shame in the political world!

has been in the capital for so many years, and he is so poor, and he has to live so breathlessly, and he still has to ......

Ay......

Chen Kaizhi was powerless to complain.

saw that Deng Jian's eyes kept falling on the hook rail, full of regret.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Why don't we go in and have a look?" ”

"This ...... Not good. Deng Jian hurriedly shook his head: "Although this Tianxianglou is not an ordinary song building, many officials and scholars also come and go from time to time, but it is a beautiful thing to say, and no one will say irresponsible things." ”

Deng Jian frowned deeply and paused for a moment before continuing, "It's just ...... Forget it, it's a shame to go in, it's not about money, it's about going, and you don't know the rules, and you're looked down upon. ”

Senior brother still loves face very much.

Chen Kaizhi looked at him like this, shook his head, anyway, this is not that kind of messy place, just go in to find Yiji to brag and talk about feelings, Chen Kaizhi said confidently: "You follow me." ”

dragged Deng Jian to go in, but Deng Jian said urgently: "Roast duck, roast duck, there is roast duck in your hand." ”

But now it's too late, the turtle slave at the door has sharp eyes, and when he saw the two of them at the door, he had already greeted him, and said with a smile: "Two sons, please come inside." ”

Chen Kaizhi only pursed his lips and smiled, calmly and calmly, only nodded slightly, and strode in, but Deng Jian looked a little timid, seeing that Chen Kaizhi had already entered, he sped up his pace to catch up.

When I entered this Tianxiang Building, I knew that there was no cave here, and the grandeur here was far more advanced than those song buildings next door to Chen Kaizhi.

As soon as they entered, a turtle slave came forward to greet them.

Chen Kaizhi only smiled lightly at him: "Is there a seat?" ”

"Yes, yes, on the second floor."

Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly: "Second floor? Go to the third floor, it's supposed to be quieter. ”

The turtle slave was slightly stunned, he saw that Chen Kaizhi and Deng Jian were dressed, and they should not be rich and noble, that is, they were satisfied with some ordinary singers on the second floor, who knew that Chen Kaizhi said lightly that he was going to go up to the third floor, and he knew that he had missed his eyes.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Please, the guest officer upstairs, the guest officer must also want to participate in Miss Zhenzhen's literary meeting, please go upstairs." ”

He was the first to go up the wooden ladder.

Chen Kaizhi slowly walked up the steps, but he didn't walk fast, Deng Jian stepped forward quickly, and Chen Kaizhi bit his ear: "Senior brother, you also said that you study hard every day, I didn't expect you to be such a person, you are so familiar with this place, no wonder you always go out early and return late, you ...... You carry me on my back and sing every night. ”

He was very angry, as if he had been deceived by Chen Kaizhi, his face illuminated by the candle was full of pain, and he seemed to be very sad, feeling that he had been abandoned by Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi saw that he had a righteous expression, and even showed a sad look, but he didn't explain.

What do you explain, explain that you have rich experience in Jinling, observe all kinds of people and other song houses every day, listen to the singers talk about the market of song houses around the world, and there are many bright or dark rules in the song houses?
