Hearing that a girl asked to see them, Xu and Liu were both puzzled and suspicious, for fear that the enemy would design to coax them to open the door. was hesitating, and then heard a woman's soft and beautiful voice outside the door: "The little woman Huang Ying'er asked to see her, and asked Liu Daochang to open the door and talk." ”

Hearing that there was really a woman outside the door asking to see them, Xu and Liu relaxed slightly, but they did not completely relax their vigilance. Liu Wendong stood up and went to open the door, while Xu Shaoan secretly held a gun and stood guard next to the door in case of accidents.

When the courtyard door opened, he saw Sanbao, the man of the inn, standing at the door with a smile on his face, and two young girls standing behind him. The little girl in the back was dressed in emerald green clothes, although she was beautiful and lovely, but because she was still young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was not too eye-catching. The older girl in front of her was quite otherworldly. The hair on the head is neatly bunned, a very delicate pretty face is not powdered, the shoulders are shaved and the waist is thin, the twin peaks are towering, and the apricot yellow dress is matched with an apricot-yellow dress. If you look at it carefully, you feel that this woman exudes a delicate and charming charm from her bones, which makes all men feel excited.

Liu Wendong's precaution at this time had already been exhausted, and he just looked at the beauty in front of him in a daze. The girl in the yellow shirt outside the door estimated that she often encountered this situation, and she was used to Liu Wendong's performance, and still maintained a smiling expression waiting for him to come back to her senses. Sanbao, the shopkeeper next to him, didn't dare to laugh, and he was so red and thick in his neck that he was suffocating there, which was very uncomfortable. The younger girl in the green shirt didn't have so many taboos, seeing Liu Wendong's appearance, she couldn't help but smile "card", and the girl in the yellow shirt glared back, hurriedly covered her mouth, lowered her head and snickered in her heart.

The laughter of the little girl in the green shirt finally brought Liu Wendong back to his senses, he hurriedly coughed lightly twice, covered up his embarrassment, and saluted: "Amitayus Buddha, the poor Dao doesn't seem to know the girl, I don't know what the girl has to teach the poor Dao?" ”

The woman in the yellow shirt returned the blessing and said, "Little woman Huang Ying'er, this is my sister Kite." There are some things I want to ask the Taoist chief for advice, but I wonder if I can talk to the Taoist chief in the courtyard? ”

Although Liu Wendong was still a little confused, he really couldn't do it to refuse the request of a young girl, so he stretched out his hand and said, "That's it, Miss Huang, please." ”

Huang Ying'er was very happy to see that he did not refuse to enter the hospital by herself, turned around and nodded to the shopkeeper Sanbao to thank her, and beckoned the little girl in green shirt named Kite to enter the courtyard together. And Xu Shao'an, who was originally hiding behind the door, also put his mind at ease at this time, and turned out from behind the door to see the yellow girl who entered the door, and was also in a petrified state for a short time like Liu Wendong, and was secretly stabbed by Liu Wendong before coming back to his senses, looking at the girl who covered her mouth and snickered, her expression was also a little embarrassed.

Liu Wendong invited the Huang girl to sit down, poured a cup of tea for her, and asked, "I don't know what Miss Huang wants to ask about the poor Dao, and I also ask the girl to say clearly." ”

Huang Ying'er hesitated slightly, and asked tentatively: "Don't hide it, the little girl also stayed in this inn." Last night, when I came back from a trip outside, I passed by the courtyard where the Taoist chief lived, and I happened to hear a woman singing in the courtyard, and the singing was very beautiful, so I stood outside the courtyard and heard the end from the beginning. The little girl is also a person who likes music, and when she listens carefully, she finds that the voice of the singer is extremely beautiful, and the rhythm of the song is very special, and she has never heard anyone sing like this before. And the words she sang were even more brilliant. Although the little girl also knew a few words and read some poems, she had never heard the words of yesterday, and she went back and pondered all night without remembering that it was the work of that person. So I took the liberty to come to the door today, and I wanted to ask the Taoist chief who was singing and who wrote the lyrics. If the Taoist can give advice, the little woman is grateful. ”

Liu Wendong heard that she had come to ask about these things, and secretly complained in his heart. The person who sings is so easy to say, Lin Xiaoyu is in the room at this time, please come out, but the lyricist of this song "Bright Moon from Time to Time" may only have to cross again if he wants to see it. Although he studied chemistry and knew almost nothing about poetry and poetry, he still knew that the author of this poem was Su Shi and Su Dongpo. Although I don't know the specific date of Su Dongpo's birth, I at least know that he was a figure in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty. According to Zhang Weixin, this is still the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty has not yet been established, so where can he go to find Su Dongpo, who may not have been born yet.

Just when he was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, he heard a knock on the door, and Hong Yan and Lin Xiaoyu walked out of the room together. It turned out that the two were talking privately in the house, and suddenly heard the voice of a woman talking in the courtyard, and the woman's sensitivity made them naturally want to come out to see what was going on.

After the two girls sat down next to their sweethearts, Hong Yan said in a gentle but slightly vigilant tone, "Senior brother, who is this girl?" Liu Wendong was worried that he couldn't answer Huang Ying'er's question, and when he saw Hong Yan coming out in time, he hurriedly changed the topic and said to Hong Yan: "Senior sister, this is Huang Ying'er's girl, and she is also staying in this inn." This Huang girl is a person who loves music and rhythm, and when she passed by our door last night, she heard Senior Sister Lin sing beautifully, and she had the heart to make friends. She came here to meet the singer. Saying that, he introduced, "Miss Huang, this Lin Dao Chang is the one who sang last night. Senior Sister Lin, this is Huang Ying'er girl. After this introduction, Liu Wendong hopes that this yellow girl can no longer be entangled in the lyricist, but focus on the living.

After Liu Wendong's introduction, the three girls greeted each other. Although this Huang Ying'er girl is not very old, she has quite a lot of experience, and when she saw the expressions and movements of these two female Taoist aunts, she guessed that these people were not just brother and sister relationships, but two couples, and maybe even two couples. However, she also knows that there are many sects of Taoism that can't help the love between men and women, and although it is rare to meet two Taoist couples in an inn, it is not worth making a fuss.

Hearing that the good-looking Daoist aunt on the right hand was the one who sang last night, Huang Ying'er immediately became enthusiastic. Even said that Lin Daochang's singing voice is so beautiful, it can be called a heavenly sound. The rhythm of singing is quite peculiar and rare in the world. A series of words of praise made Lin Xiaoyu very embarrassed, and he let him go again and again, really saying that Miss Huang was too famous.

After the two "touted" each other's appearances again, Lin Xiaoyu saw that the yellow girl was talking well and behaved generously, so he asked tentatively: "Seeing that the yellow girl has the temperament of a lady, she must be the daughter of a big family, right?" ”,

I never thought that when I heard her ask, Huang Ying'er, who was smiling just now, suddenly darkened, and a slightly helpless expression appeared on her face. When Lin Xiaoyu saw it, he knew that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, and he was afraid that he had touched the sadness of this yellow girl. Just as he was about to say something to comfort, he saw Huang Ying'er take a deep breath, the expression on her face returned to calm, and said lightly: "Don't be surprised by Daoist Lin, Ying'er didn't mean to hide it, it's just that the past is over, and those sad things don't mention it." ”

Since the other party has already said so, it is inconvenient for Lin Xiaoyu and the others to ask again. A few more people chatted a few more words, and just when Liu Wendong was glad that the Huang girl had forgotten about the lyricist, he heard Huang Ying'er ask with a sincere expression: "Since Daochang Lin can sing this song "When Will the Bright Moon Be", then he must know the person who wrote the lyrics, and asked Daochang Lin to inform the little woman that he fulfilled the wish of the little woman." ”

Hearing her words, Liu Wendong, who was just about to applaud and celebrate in his heart, immediately became nervous, hurriedly picked up the teacup in front of him, lowered his head deeply, and pretended to drink tea, for fear that Huang Ying'er or Lin Xiaoyu would look at him for answers. Lin Xiaoyu was indeed asked, although she liked this song, she didn't know anything except that she vaguely knew that the lyrics of this song were an ancient poem. Therefore, when she heard Huang Ying'er's question, her first reaction was to go to see Liu Wendong, but she only saw one of his brains, so she had no choice but to turn her head to look at Xu Shaoan.

If this Xu Shao'an Xu Da Battalion Commander asked him to introduce the famous wars in ancient times or the famous generals in ancient times, it would be no problem, but he didn't know anything about this ancient poem. However, the beloved woman asks for help with her eyes, and it is definitely not okay not to respond. This Battalion Commander Xu thought for a while, and after countless names flashed in his mind in an instant, he finally chose one of them. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he said to the name in his heart, "Brother can't help it, now I can only deal with you temporarily", and then his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he said conclusively: "Miss Huang, I can't hide it, it is not an outsider who wrote this poem, but the senior brother of the poor Dao, Zhang Weixin and Zhang Daochang." ”

As soon as Xu Shao'an said this, Lin Xiaoyu and Hong Yan instantly entered a petrified state, and Liu Wendong was even more miserable, the sip of tea that had just been drunk in his mouth was so shocked by his words that he almost swallowed it into his trachea, choking him lying on the table and coughing. Hong Yan, who was next to him, hurriedly stroked his back and wiped the water stains from his mouth with a handkerchief. Xu Shaoan still looked at ease, unaffected by his brother's embarrassment.

Miss Huang Ying'er didn't seem to care too much about the performance of the other party, and when she heard Xu Shao'an say that it was his senior brother who wrote the lyrics, she hurriedly asked: "That being the case, then may I ask if Zhang Daochang is also in this good township city now?" If not, then where is he practicing? ”

Xu Shaoan replied: "This time, my senior brother will not come to Liangxiang County. Like Poor Dao, he is practicing in the Yuxu Palace of Baojin Mountain, which is not far from here. ”

Huang Ying'er was overjoyed when she heard this, listening to the meaning of this Xu Daochang, this Baojin Mountain Yuxu Palace must be nearby, if you want to find that Zhang Daochang, there should be no difficulty. So he thanked him again and again, and then stood up and said: "I have been bothering you Taoist elders for a long time, the little woman's wish has been fulfilled, so I will leave here, and you Taoist leaders will have a period later." ”

After Xu Shaoan and the others got up and sent her to the door, they saw her walk to the opposite side of the west courtyard and push the door in, only to know that this girl lived opposite her.

Huang Ying'er entered the door of the West Courtyard, and the kite behind her followed into the door and closed the courtyard door casually. A tall and burly young man in the courtyard was cutting something out of wood, and when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and got up to salute Huang Ying'er. Huang Ying'er walked into the house and asked, "Kefu, is Uncle Yang back?" ”

The young man replied respectfully: "Miss Hui, my father-in-law has just returned from Youzhou City and is waiting for Miss." ”

When Huang Ying'er heard this, she said happily: "Uncle Yang is back, I'll go see him." With that, he walked briskly to the room.

A middle-aged man in the room was sitting on a chair drinking tea. This middle-aged man is not tall, and his back is slightly hunched when he sits on a chair. Although he is only about forty years old, his hair is already a little gray. On the thin face, the wrinkles are like a knife and an axe, full of the vicissitudes of time. The eyes are not large, and the gaze is a little cloudy. Holding a teacup in his right hand, he is sipping tea. Upon closer inspection, the man's left sleeve was empty, pinned to his belt, and he was a one-armed man. Seeing Huang Ying'er walk into the room, this person hurriedly put down the teacup, got up and saluted: "My subordinates have seen Miss." ”

Huang Ying'er hurriedly grabbed his arm and said angrily: "Uncle Yang, how many times have I said that don't always be subordinate when talking to me." You are my uncle now, just call me Ying'er. ”

The man who was called Uncle Yang smiled and said, "How can it be done?" Since his subordinates followed the prince at the beginning, they are the eternal servants of the Yang family. Even if the prince is no longer there, the young lady is still the master in the eyes of her subordinates. If you are not afraid of attracting attention, your subordinates prefer to call you the county lord. ”

Hearing him say this, Huang Ying'er's expression darkened, and she said faintly: "County lord? I'm still the lord of the county. The county lord Yang Xiaoyun died as early as the moment he escaped from the palace more than ten years ago, and now the only one who is alive is Huang Ying'er, who had to be a Qingren in Yingli Xuan in order to survive in Yangzhou. If it weren't for Huang's mother's efforts to maintain it, I am afraid that she would have lost her innocence long ago. ”

Uncle Yang sighed when he heard this, and said guiltily: "It's all because his subordinates are crippled, not only can he not protect His Royal Highness the county lord, but he wants the county lord to give up the most important name and devote himself to the Qinglou to support his subordinates." I, Yang Yongzhong, am really ashamed of the prince and the princess. After speaking, he beat his thigh and shed two lines of tears.

Huang Ying'er hurriedly walked up to him and comforted, "How can you blame Uncle Yang for this." If you hadn't lost an arm and saved my life and my mother's lives, the two of us would have died with our father more than ten years ago. You are my savior and mother's benefactor, and we can't repay you enough. When my mother died, Ying'er was still young, and it wasn't that you dragged a crippled body and worked hard to raise me, but I fell ill. Ying'er called you uncle, and you also pushed three or four, but you refused. Besides, I can't blame you for being a cleaner, you dissuaded me for a long time for this matter. I went to Yingli Xuan, firstly, for our survival, and secondly, to repay Huang's mother for taking care of us for many years. ”,

Yang Yongzhong vented for a while, his mood was slightly depressed, and he sighed: "County Lord, you are really a hard-working child. When he was less than a year old, the prince suffered a great disaster and was killed all over the house, only the princess and you were rescued by their subordinates and were able to escape. After several transfers to Yangzhou, relying on the princess to wash and mend people, and his subordinates worked hard for people to survive. The princess died of illness within a few years due to overwork. The subordinates' bodies also deteriorated day by day, but fortunately, Huang's mother survived. Who knew that after only a few years of stable life, Huang's mother couldn't afford to get sick, and it didn't take long for her to die. ”

Huang Ying'er also sighed when she heard this, and took over the conversation and said: "Fortunately, Huang's mother revealed the secret of Feiyan Hall before she died, and handed over the relevant tokens to me, so that I can use Feiyan Hall's shili to escape from the hands of those powerful people who covet my beauty." Although it is inevitable that they will still be controlled by others now, it is far better than becoming the plaything of those shameless and powerful. He sighed and shook his head vigorously, trying to put these troubles aside. After calming down for a while, he said: "Don't talk about these sorrows, Uncle Yang, when you go to Youzhou City, have you ever inquired about the situation of Huang's mother's sister." ”

Hearing her ask, Yang Yongzhong sighed again and said, "Alas, don't mention it." If it weren't for the subordinates who just said that the county lord, your life is hard. The subordinates inquired clearly, Huang's mother's sister Huang Mengyuan originally opened a small green building in Youzhou City-Qingxue Building, and the business was quite prosperous. In particular, she had a close relationship with Lu Zuchang, the head of the Lu family, the first Wang clan in Youzhou at that time, and was taken care of by Lu Zuchang in many ways, and she also had a wide range of contacts in Youzhou City. It's a pity that this Huang Mengyuan Cheng is also the Lu family's defeat.

Two years ago, Xiao Siwen, a cousin who loved a concubine left behind in Nanjing, Liao, went to Qingxue Tower to live happily and had a dispute with Lu Congxiao, the eldest young master of the Lu family. This Young Master Lu didn't know the details of the other party, and on the spur of the moment, he beat the other party to death. This can stab the big Lou Zi. Xiao Siwen's beloved concubine lost her parents because she was a child, and her uncle raised her, and she has a very close relationship with this cousin, like a brother and sister. When he heard that his brother was killed, he naturally refused to give up. Taking advantage of Xiao Siwen's love for himself and his covetousness for the Lu family's huge family business, a pillow wind blew down, which moved Xiao Siwen's heart.

That Xiao Siwen accused the Lu family of collaborating with the enemy, and more than 100 members of the whole family were arrested and imprisoned, and even many distant relatives were not spared. As a result, except for a few distant clansmen who were spared, the rest were beheaded or exiled, and the Fan Yang Lu clan was almost wiped out. This Huang Mengyuan suffered a lawsuit because the murder happened in her Qinglou, and she had a close relationship with the Lu family. Although she saved her life by working up and down, she was also sealed in Qingxue Building and became destitute. When her subordinates saw her, she was seriously ill and bedridden for many days. The way she is now, it is obvious that she can no longer be of use to us, so her subordinates didn't say much. It was only said that her sister had asked her to come and see her on her deathbed, and she left some money and came back. ”

After listening to Yang Yongzhong's narration, Huang Ying'er was speechless for a long time. She didn't expect to come all the way to this place, but she got such a result. But if you think about it, you can't blame Huang's mother, after all, for various reasons, she has not been in contact with this sister for three or four years, and it is normal to not know her recent situation. It's just that without Huang Mengyuan's help, it is almost impossible to complete the task assigned by Feiyantang. Where to go now, Huang Ying'er had no idea for a while. After being silent for a while, she spoke, "Uncle Yang, what should we do now?" ”

Yang Yongzhong thought for a moment and replied: "From the perspective of his subordinates, with our current Liliang, it is impossible to establish a foothold in Youzhou City. The subordinates feel that it is time to contact the helm of Feiyantang in the Dinghe Town area as soon as possible and report the situation here to Xiangshang. The subordinates thought that there would naturally be a solution at the helm, and we just had to wait for the new order. ”

Huang Ying'er nodded and said, "Now I have to do this." Let's stay here for a few more days, and let Kefu set off tomorrow and go to Dingzhou. ”

Yang Yongzhong agreed, and went out to inform the young man in the courtyard.

Huang Ying'er returned to her bedroom, sat in front of the dresser, and looked at the somewhat blurry image in the bronze mirror, as if indicating her unpredictable future.
