The secret room behind the bookshelf in the office of the General Office of the Garrison.

Duan Jiu, the housekeeper, leisurely played with the small teapot in his hand, looking very leisurely, suddenly raised his eyelids, and said, "How is the matter explained by the adult?" ”

"Master Butler!" Zhao Tianyu said bitterly: "Linhe Bai Impermanence used to make trouble in the past, and now it is really difficult to deal with!" Please also ask the housekeeper to be gracious, and say a few good words for the next in front of the county! For some time, the brothers have their own hearts. As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his sleeve and stuffed it into Duan Jiu's sleeve.

Duan Jiu glanced at this guy who was at least one round older than himself, smiled, and said, "You, you are really a real person, the river is white and impermanent, and the bandit is old and black, are these things that the county master cares about?" ”

"Isn't it?" Zhao Tianyu pretended not to understand and asked, he may be worse at doing things, but he is still a real master of official exercises.

"Don't pretend to be confused! It's all a thousand-year-old fox, what are you playing fasting! Duan Jiu glared at Zhao Tianyu and said viciously, so frightened that Zhao Tianyu almost knelt on the ground, but of course this was also a show for Zhao Tianyu. After all, the other party is just a steward of the dog's power, and he is a person who has served the yellow belt in the former Qing Dynasty, and those are all things that kill people without blinking, and they kill them in vain.

Zhao Tianyu begged: "Don't dare!" I really don't understand it, and I hope that the ninth master will show me a clear way! ”

Duan Jiu sighed, knowing that this guy was not easy to deal with, but he had never seen such a hooligan, so he had to say: "The drama of officers and soldiers catching thieves has been played from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, and I have never seen which dynasty or generation has broken it, this thief is like a leek that kills a wave and grows a wave, the more he kills, the more he kills, the emperor is gone, and Sun Monkey is still making trouble in the south!" You know what I mean? ”

"Do you mean that this thief can't be killed?"

Duan Jiu said very ironcladly: "Kill Bai Impermanence and Black Impermanence, kill Black Impermanence and Flower Impermanence, in short, this thief will not be killed!" But whoever makes our family Duan unhappy, we will make whoever is unhappy for the rest of his life. You know what I mean? ”

"Understood!" Zhao Tianyu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "I understand this truth!" The adult means that he just needs to ...... the little beast," he said, making a gesture of slashing.

Duan Jiu said gloomily: "You have to remember that this is just what you mean, and it has nothing to do with others, let alone adults!" ”

"Please rest assured, this is all the meaning of the villain's own figure." Zhao Tianyu said: "Because of the humble position, I haven't seen the housekeeper today. ”

Duan Jiu stood up to leave, but as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, frightening Zhao Tianyu to take a few steps back.

"What else does the Ninth Master command?"

Duan Jiu said gloomily: "What adults appreciate is that Mr. Zhao's office who doesn't ask anything and goes to do things, and your timid performance like you today disappoints adults!" You'd better remember that! ”

After sending Duan Jiu away, Zhao Tianyu soaked his clothes in a cold sweat, such clothes and the scene of pretending to be his grandson just now made him very unhappy, and he made people call Chang Zhenbang with a blushing face. The news turned out to be that this dog thief went to the street to check, so angry that he almost turned over the table, and yelled viciously: "Give Lao Tzu a notice, three days later, check the assessment of food and salary raising, if Chang Zhenbang can't send it in time, Lao Tzu will masturbate his captain, doesn't he like to go on the street?" Let him stand at the gate of the city every day! ”

At this time, Chang Zhenbang was dressed in casual clothes and went to the private room on the second floor of Wanghaichun, and still ordered two or three exquisite and refreshing side dishes, soaked in a pot of fragrant tea, and opened the window to enjoy the scenery near and far.

There are a lot fewer pedestrians on the road, and it is naturally a lot cleaner, and the wind still blows slowly regardless of human affairs, spreading the fragrance of tea throughout the room.

The door was slowly pushed open, and then a figure flashed quickly, and a short sword was nailed in front of Chang Zhenbang with a bang, and it was only a few points away from the vital point of his neck, Chang Zhenbang walked a few steps, pushed the door out, and the shopkeeper asked respectfully: "Master, but what else do you want?" The little one will go and command! ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled sadly and said, "It's okay, it's just a little aggrieved inside, come out and be transparent, by the way, have you ever seen any women pass by here just now?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "The little one didn't see anyone passing in front of the adult's door, but if the adult wants to relieve the boredom, the little one can arrange a few singing songs to come over!" ”

Obviously, the shopkeeper thinks badly, but this is the most correct way to think!

"That's it!" Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "It's up to you to arrange it!" As he spoke, he threw out a small ocean.

The shopkeeper flattered and took it, kicked it into his arms, turned around and ran downstairs in small steps, who knew that he had just taken a few steps, turned around and said to Chang Zhenbang: "My lord, we are serious people in Wanghaichun, and if you want to mess around, you can only go elsewhere!" ”

Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Do I look like I'm going to mess around?" ”

The shopkeeper said in his heart, "How can you boys have any righteous men and gentlemen?" If you don't mess around, no one will mess around, but thinking so, he still nodded and said: "Adults and gentlemen, the little ones really can't speak, they should be beaten!" Saying that, he slapped himself, turned around and ran, for fear that if he stayed for a while, Chang Zhenbang would stop listening to the music.

Chang Zhenbang turned around and entered the private room, pulled out the short sword, and a small note as weak as a cicada's wings fell, Chang Zhenbang smiled, turned around and tore it apart, and poured it into the teapot.

"It's really unreasonable for you country girl to pretend to be an old woman and bully her man!" Chang Zhenbang said and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

"But I still have to thank you, without you, Lao Chang's family would be over! This cup is my father's ancestor and respects you as a good daughter-in-law! Saying that, Chang Zhenbang poured himself a cup of tea again, and poured another cup after drinking it dry.

"This third cup." Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "I can only hope that you will always be careful not to let that Bai Wuchang catch the handle, and you must work hard for your husband to get rid of this hateful guy together!" This cup is not to honor you, but to punish me! After saying that, he raised his head again and drank it all.

Three cups of tea, Chang Zhenbang was interested, and he simply ate a few bites of side dishes and was about to go out to settle accounts, but at this time, the door knocked lightly, and there was a girl voice as crisp as a silver bell outside, and said: "Master, the slave family is singing music, can the little peach come in now?" ”

"Little Pink?"

Chang Zhenbang then remembered that he seemed to have called for a song just now, so he simply let her sing, Fang Zheng didn't have much money, and he sang well, which also made him happy.

"Come in!"

Chang Zhenbang opened the door, but saw a little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old holding a shabby pipa, which was almost the same size as her, the little girl had clear eyebrows, a shabby but still very clean red dress, and two ponytails were wrapped around the back of her head by a red head rope, and she felt like a red hibiscus out of the water.

The little girl first glanced at Chang Zhenbang timidly, and then sat opposite Chang Zhenbang with her head down, holding the pipa in her arms, this pipa is really magical, as soon as she entered the little girl's arms, the aura of the little girl's whole person changed, as if she was no longer the little girl who was running around for three meals and one night every day, and turned into a down-and-out intellectual woman, full of wisdom and tolerance.

The little girl said, "Guest, what song do you want to hear?" ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at the pipa in the little girl's arms and said, "You know the pipa, so you can play a cheerful tune for me!" ”

The little girl said timidly: "Do you still ask the uncle to ask the question?" ”

"You're an expert, choose your own good play!" Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said indifferently.

The little girl smiled and said, "Then play this!" Saying that the white and tender fingers danced quickly, first a few crisp tones, falling like spring dew, and then intermittently connected into a piece of white clouds like the spring suburbs, and then a few slightly heavier notes, the song gradually lingered, and became bright, like the spring rain falling, everything is refreshing, no summer rain irritability, no autumn rain bleakness, no winter rain ruthless, that is a kind of rain that falls on the ground, plants and trees are bursting with vitality, falling on the body, the pores are comfortably open rain, through this gurgling light rain, Chang Zhenbang seems to see the depths of the peach orchard, the withered branches are swept away, and the dusty leaves are washed a little bit, slowly revealing a little bit of white and tender but exuding a little red spring, this is the weather of spring, this is the little peach!

With a little peach in his eyes, the resentment in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a little relaxed anger, the world is really so beautiful, is what he did before too harsh?

Spring, cherry blossoms in Ueno, Tokyo, how beautiful that woman is, and what a thing to remember to meet her.

But such a beautiful person has brought himself the beauty of heaven, and also brought himself the cruelty of hell! The cruelty still haunts him in his dreams.

It's like a small mouse poop falling into the chicken soup, no matter how beautiful the chicken soup is, how precious the ingredients are, because of this small pickled thing, people don't have the appetite to continue eating, and it makes people vomit out the overnight food in their stomachs.

Chang Zhenbang's face changed and changed, and finally he turned a lot paler.

After the little girl finished singing, she saw that Chang Zhenbang's face was not good, and she wanted to sing again, but was interrupted by Chang Zhenbang and said, "Enough, the song is very good, you can go!" As he spoke, he took out three or four oceans and threw them on the table.

The little girl said softly: "Thank you, uncle, for the reward, the slave family didn't talk well and didn't make you happy, I'm sorry for your reward, can you let the slave family sing another song!" ”

Chang Zhenbang shook his head with a smile and said, "If you think you have given too much, you might as well talk to me!" ”

When the little girl heard this, her face also changed and changed, maybe Chang Zhenbang didn't look like a womanizer who was a prodigal son, so she nodded lightly and said, "Master, you can say it!" ”

"You play the lute well!" Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "That song is sung well, let me see the little peach among the layers of green leaves." ”

When the little girl heard him say this, she was very happy and said, "This is the origin of the name of the slave family!" My father said that on the day the slave family was born, the spring rain fell, and the peach tree in front of the door was red. ”

"Xiaolou had another east wind last night, and the country can't afford to look back at the bright moon."

Chang Zhenbang said lightly.

The origin of the name Little Peach is full of spring vitality, and it is her father's yearning for her beautiful life, I don't know why Chang Zhenbang has a feeling of nostalgia for the country after hearing it.

The little girl's proud name was so sadly resigned by him that it really made her a little unhappy, but Chang Zhenbang was a guest after all, and he couldn't be offended, so he had to pretend to be indifferent, and the look of a small ghost was really cute.

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "Your song is very good, if you have time, come to my house often to sing music!" ”

The little girl was happy at first, and then said nervously: "Thank you for your kindness, the slave family only sings in this Wanghai Spring, and does not go anywhere else!" ”

Chang Zhenbang has no special fetishes about singing songs, so naturally he doesn't force it, and says, "Whatever you want." ”

"The slave family thanks the uncle for his appreciation, and let the slave family sing a little song for the uncle!" As he spoke, his fingers, which were as white as shallots, gently pressed on the strings of the lute.

Chang Zhenbang stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Promise me something, okay?" ”

"What's the matter?" The little girl looked at Chang Zhenbang nervously, for fear of saying something wrong from his mouth.

Chang Zhenbang said: "Uncle, the slave family is called in the past, and now the emperor is gone, and the Republic of China is revived, you and I can just call it." ”

It turned out to be this, the little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, lowered her head, and said, "As long as the guests don't dislike it, the slave family doesn't matter!" Now the slave family can sing for the uncle! ”

"What a strange boy you are! If it had been someone else, it would have been gone! Chang Zhenbang said: "Okay, you can sing if you want!" ”

The little girl smiled embarrassedly and said, "The uncle gave too much money, and the slave family didn't have enough songs!" ”

"Look at you, it's here again, just call me directly!" Chang Zhenbang said with a smile.

The girl nodded, no longer said anything, her fingers fluttered on the strings like the Yangtze River swordfish, layers of mist, a little water splashed out of her pipa, the scene was a scene of water and sky, the mist and water vapor filled the sky, the aquatic plants were thick and green like a ladder to the sky, countless water tribes were like lanterns, like stars coming and going, the center of the water tribe formed a small whirlpool, this whirlpool was disturbed by various water tribes, getting bigger and bigger, suddenly = a burst of water column rushed up from the whirlpool, A big white carp did not hesitate to push away the other aquariums, jumped into the whirlpool, this water column hit every inch of the big carp's skin, the scales fell like snowflakes, bright red blood seeped out little by little, the blood is hot, when encountering the cold water slowly condensed into a silk-like thing hanging on the fish, the fish struggled like a red snake like a red snake with its teeth and claws along the water column to the sky, the door of the water column is a small stone gate, there are two words dragon gate, if this red snake-like carp crosses this stone gate, Did you become a dragon that spanned the nine heavens?
