Chapter 18: Sleepless Nights
The three of them left the inn, and after a few hours, they came back, and it was the middle of the day, and it was lunchtime.
I saw a carriage parked in front of the post house, the carriage was graceful and luxurious, and it was not owned by ordinary people at first glance. The three of them took a look, but they didn't pay attention to the dignitaries who came to the post house, so they went into the post house.
The idiot supported his body and walked slowly, but if he didn't look closely, he really couldn't see anything unusual. As soon as the three of them entered the hall, they saw that in the post house, Hua Qingxi was sitting on the main seat, and when they saw the three of them coming in, they didn't say a word with a black face, and the rest of the disciples of Baicao Valley were standing on both sides, and the three Flawless people who went out early in the morning had already gone back. Seeing Wushuang and the others coming back, Wuxian hurriedly glanced at Wushuang and signaled Wushuang and the others to hurry aside.
Seeing that the atmosphere was different, Wushuang couldn't help but secretly scream that it was going to be bad, since he had possessed this body, he had never seen Hua Qingxi get angry, and hurriedly flashed to the side.
Seeing this, Wuya knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, we are back." ”
Hua Qingxi glanced at the three of them, only snorted, and said, "Stand aside, and I'll clean you up later." He took a sip of the fragrant tea on the table, and said, "Hua Wumian, how old are you this year?"
When Hua Wushuang heard this, he looked up, and saw that under the lobby, there was a man who was kneeling down in front of Hua Qingxi with his head down. But he said that the man had a white cloud crown on his head, long hair, tied behind his head, and was wearing a white shirt, with a good figure, not fat or thin, but he had his head down and couldn't see his face clearly. Wushuang thought that this person in front of him must be the senior brother Hua Wumian, and then looked at Hua Wumian's expression, which was even more true.
Hua Wumian replied: "Back to Master's words, Wumian has been an orphan since he was not weaned, and Master kindly carried me back to the valley, and it has been twenty-two years now. ”
Hua Qingxi said: "Okay, let me ask you again, how many years have you been in this national scholar's mansion?"
Hua Wumian replied: "Back to Master's words, it has been four years since Wumian won the championship in the last Dao Trial Conference and was recruited by the Holy Lord to serve in the Guoshi Mansion. ”
Hua Qingxi said: "Yes, your answer is not bad at all." You have also been famous in the past few years, and you are young and romantic, and it is the time when the spring breeze is proud, right? ”
When Hua Wumian heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Jing faintly shed tears, and said: "Mian'er, if you know that you are wrong, please punish the master." ”
Hua Qingxi said: "Okay, what are you wrong? ”
Hua Wumian replied: "Sleepless is wrong, marriage should not be decided privately, you should consult the master in advance and let the master decide." ”
Hua Qingxi sighed and said, "Okay, since you don't say it, then please go back, before the Tianxiang Festival, I won't go to the Guoshi Mansion with you." With that, he got up and went upstairs without looking back.
Hua Wumian still couldn't kneel for a long time, and when he saw that Hua Qingxi was about to go upstairs, he hurriedly said, "Master! Master, ......"
All the disciples of Baihua Valley did not dare to make a sound, and they did not go back upstairs with Hua Qingxitou open, Hua Wuhuan walked up to Wumian and said, "Senior brother, you should go back today, you don't know the master's temperament, why do you have to do this?"
Hua Wumian raised her head and glanced at Wuhuan and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say a word, just smiled bitterly.
Hua Wuhuan sighed and stopped talking. glanced at Hua Wumian, accompanied by Hua Wuchen, said hello, and went upstairs.
Hua Wuregret whispered to Wushuang: "Looking at Senior Brother like this, isn't there really any unspeakable hardship in my heart?"
Hua Wushuang said: "How can I know, but looking at the appearance of the senior brother who wanted to speak just now, there should be some inside story, this is the secret that you and I don't know." ”
Hua Wuregret couldn't help but be angry when she saw Wushuang's flirtatious appearance, and then asked, "You three are so bold, where are you going to play in the morning?"
Wushuang didn't dare to tell the truth without regrets, so he had to make up a pretense and deceive the past. Wu Regret obviously didn't believe Wushuang's lame lies, but he didn't continue to ask questions unrelentingly. just glanced at Wushuang and ignored him anymore.
Hua Wumian raised his head, looked at everyone, and said, "No idiot, you still don't change your mind, can your skills improve over the years?" Hua Wumian shook his head, and asked again: "Nameless, do you still love drinking so much, you should know that alcohol disturbs the mind, if you are addicted to alcohol, how can you meditate and cultivate?" ”
Hua Wumian nodded and said, "That's good, Wuya, it's still the same as when I was a child, but I've grown taller and become more handsome." Hua Wuya said: "Wuya is still a little worse than the elder brother, and the junior brother will work hard in the future, be elected to the national scholar's mansion, and listen to the teachings of the senior brother every day." Hua Wumian said: "A year later, senior brother will be waiting for you in Guoxiang City." No regrets, sister, I haven't seen you all these years, but I've grown into a big girl, and I'm getting more and more beautiful. Hua Wuregret heard this, and said softly: "Wuregret is also very concerned about the senior brother, the senior brother is alone in the Guoshi Mansion, and he must also miss Baicao Valley." Hua Wumian nodded, noncommittal, and when he saw Wushuang, he opened his mouth and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, the little junior brother has grown into an adult, do you remember the senior brother?" Hua Wushuang heard the words and said busily: "Senior brother naturally remembers, senior brother treated me like a brother when I was a child, and Wushuang didn't dare to forget half a point." ”
Hua Wumian was very pleased, seeing that the junior brothers and sisters in the valley had grown up, she was naturally very happy. But when he saw Flawless, he couldn't help but avoid his gaze and didn't dare to look at it, and said: "Sister Flaw, I have been away from the valley for these days, and I have worked hard for you in the valley." Flawless saw Hua Wumian's expression, his heart was not uncomfortable, his eyes were red, he wanted to shed tears, and he endured and said: "I am worried about my senior brother, there is nothing important in the valley, and everything in the Guoshifu is complicated, so don't worry about it." ”
Everyone in the valley was talking to themselves, but they saw Wuhuan coming downstairs and said, "Master passed the word, Wuya, Wuyi, and Wushuang went out to play without permission, reciting their first offense, and punished the three of them for not eating lunch as a punishment." The three of them took a long breath, and a meal was obviously Hua Qingxi's extra kindness, which was the lightest punishment.
"The master also said that if the senior brother wants to kneel, he should kneel farther away, so as not to affect his old man's cultivation. Hua Wuhuan continued, her voice getting quieter and quieter.
Hua Wumian was stunned when he heard this, then got up, went out of the door of the post house, knelt outside the lobby, and still didn't get up. All the disciples in the valley sighed and dispersed.
Guoxiang City is divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the outer city is surrounded by the inner city on three sides. The inner city is full of the residences of some members of the imperial family, and the outer city is the residence of ordinary officials, mixed with various residences, shops, inns, taverns, gambling stalls, etc., and so on. Nowadays, it is a few days before the annual Tianxiang Festival in Tianxiang Country, and the Guoxiang City is crowded with people, and all kinds of people gather in the outer city, so it is not lively.
In the southwest of the city outside the city, there is a pharmacy, the shopkeeper's surname is Qi, is a middle-aged man about forty years old, the figure is slightly fat, usually meet people with a smiling face, the business is booming extraordinary, and now the season has purchased a batch of spices from the countryside, these spices are the best materials for making purses, the fragrance lasts for a long time, light and not pungent, which attracts the girls and girls in the city to rush to buy, almost breaking the threshold.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of Qi waved in front of the pharmacy, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the patronage of all the girls, Qi's small shop business can be so prosperous, but helplessly, all the spices purchased by Qi last time have been sold out, I am afraid that you have come for nothing today, I am very sorry." ”
When the girls in the audience heard this, they immediately became noisy, and for a while, the group of female porridge porridge was so good that it didn't make a fuss. The shopkeeper Qi hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, I have ordered the guys in the store to hurry up and buy the goods, I believe that tomorrow will be turned, please go back today, please go early tomorrow, it's all gone, hehe." ”
When the girls heard this, they calmed down a little, and they dispersed, and the shopkeeper ordered the guys in the store to clean up the front of the door, and then took the shop. Qi shopkeeper with his hands on his back, leisurely walked to the back hall, turned into the back hall, only to see a young man sitting on the cedar round chair in the hall, is leisurely sipping tea, behind the young man stands a strong man who looks like a servant, Qi shopkeeper hurriedly put away his smiling face, bowed forward, and said: "The fire is not extinguished, and the holy religion will last forever." Damn it, let Childe wait for a long time. ”
This master and servant are Mo Yangsheng and the childish slave. Hearing this, Mo Yangsheng elegantly put the teacup on the table. He smiled slightly: "It's okay, right now, there are many places in the sect that have to make money, it's rare that your business here is so prosperous, and it's very rare to think that you are sharing worries within the sect." After this son is Islamic, he should say a few good words for you. ”
When the shopkeeper Qi heard this, he hurriedly said, "Thank you so much, son." ”
Mo Yangsheng said: "That matter, how it is progressing now, tell me in detail." ”
The shopkeeper Qi said: "Yes, Hui Gongzi, since you learned about this plan, you have arranged it carefully. Now, the secret spies in our sect have infiltrated the Imperial City a few months ago, and have recorded all the secret posts in the Imperial City one by one and drawn a map. With that, he took out a sketch from his bosom, unfolded it and handed it to Mo Yangsheng.
Mo Yangsheng took the sketch and looked at it carefully, and if there was anything incomprehensible, he asked the shopkeeper to explain it to him. After a while, Mo Yangsheng closed his eyes, and the sketch appeared in his mind in detail, Mo Yangsheng stretched out his hands and rubbed his temples, and said: "The great achievement of the shopkeeper, with your sketch, that thing will be like a thing in the bag, and it will be restored to my teaching, just around the corner." ”
The shopkeeper Qi said: "Before and after the Tianxiang Festival, the precautions in the imperial city must be relaxed, coupled with the wedding of Princess Tianxiang, it is the time for us to take this opportunity." ”
Mo Yangsheng said: "This matter is not trivial, and you must not be careless. Let's discuss it again, and the way out after we succeed. The shopkeeper Qi hurriedly stepped forward, and the two quietly discussed......
It was getting late, the moon had hung in the sky at some point, and outside the lobby of the Imperial City Post House, Hua Wumian was still kneeling there, his eyes closed, not moving at all, like a stone carving.
After dinner, Wushuang had nothing to do, wandering around, and saw that the door of Wuregret's room was closed, so he tiptoed and quietly entered the room, but he saw that Wushuang had his back to him, sitting on a small wooden chair in front of the round table, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with. The beautiful woman's shadow is the most intoxicating, Wushuang looked at it for a while, and finally it was unbearable, so he stepped forward and took a closer look, it turned out that he was sewing a purse with a needle and thread in his hand. Wushuang said: "I can't imagine that the eighth senior sister, her hands are so clever, this purse is really beautiful." ”
Wu regret suddenly heard someone behind him, startled, turned his head, stroked his chest, and saw that it was Wushuang, so he punched him angrily, and said, "Are you a rat, scared to death." ”
Wushuang sat in front of Wu Regret with a hippie smile and said, "Hehe, I have nothing to do, I saw that your door was not closed, so I came in and took a look." ”
Wu regret pretended to be angry, and said: "It's so old, aren't you still sensible, it's so late, enter my room, let others see it, I don't want to live anymore." ”
Wushuang said: "Hey, I am honest and have a clear conscience, and I am afraid that others will say it." ”
Wu regret wrinkled his nose and said, "Bah, of course your face is not afraid." ”
Wushuang smirked for a while, snatched the purse from Wuregret's hand, and asked knowingly, "What is this? ”
No regrets were ashamed when he heard this, he got up and wanted to grab it, how could he be a matchless opponent, he didn't win it after several times, in a hurry, he pinched Wushuang, and Wushuang was in pain, so he had to obediently return it with both hands, and said without regrets: "Daughter's things, you'd better not touch and ask." ”
Wushuang said stupidly: "Tianxiang Festival, girls want to sew purses by themselves and give them to their sweethearts, I don't know Eighth Senior Sister, who is this purse for?"
Without regrets, he hid his purse and said, "Don't worry about it, it's not for you anyway." ”
When Wushuang heard this, he just laughed and didn't speak, his eyes looked straight at Wushuang, and Wushuang couldn't stand Wushuang's gaze, and blasted Wushuang out on the grounds of sleeping.
Wushuang came out of the room without regrets, and he was in a good mood. Remembering that the innocent had been injured during the day, he turned into the innocent room to take a look. I saw that Wushuang was lying on the bed, pouting his buttocks, staring ahead with blank eyes, and he didn't even know that Wushuang came in. Wushuang stepped forward and roared, startling Wushuang, Wushuang was stunned, and when he saw that it was Wushuang, he said slightly angrily: "Are you a mouse, scared to death." ”
Wushuang said: "It's all like this." ”
I didn't know what to say, and said, "What are you talking about?"
Wushuang said: "It's nothing, I suddenly remembered that you were injured, come and see if your injury is better." With that, he withdrew his pants, only to see that most of the wound had healed, and the wound was flushed with pink around it, and the wound was particularly dazzling on the innocent white buttocks, like a birthmark. Seeing that Wushuang was no longer in trouble, Wushuang let go of his heart. said: "When I first entered the door, I saw you in a daze, what were you thinking just now?"
Wu Idiot said: "Other people's thoughts, you'd better not ask." ”
Wushuang was stunned and said, "Yohe, don't think I can't see it, when I first entered the door, your eyes were stealing lewd light, you must be thinking about Senior Sister Wuhuan, right?"
Wu Idiot was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly reached out to cover Wushuang's mouth, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said viciously: "Do you want to die?"
Wushuang shook his head, Wushuang let go of Wushuang, sighed and said, "Lao Jiu, do you think I'm stupid?" I know that the person who loves Wuhuan is the fourth senior brother, but I still think about her in my heart. ”
Wushuang replied: "You're not stupid, you're very stupid." Hearing this, Wu Yi raised his fist and was about to beat it, but Wushuang hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you like Wuhuan in your heart, but you don't dare to tell others, how do people know your mind?
Wu Idiot was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "You mean that Wu Huan also ...... in his heart"
Wushuang said decisively: "No, Wuhuan definitely doesn't have you in her heart, she only has the fourth senior brother in her eyes." What I'm trying to say is, you're going to die of this heart. ”
Lying on the bed without a fool, he only silently said one word, 'Get out'. Wushuang exited the room with interest, leaving Wushuang alone to worry about his brains. Wushuang came out of the room of the idiot, entered his own room, took the basin, and went to the back to wash his feet.
Wushuang entered the backyard, took hot water, and was about to turn around and go back to the room, but saw an object floating from the roof and falling into Wushuang's footbath. He looked up at the roof, and as soon as he looked up, another melon seed skin fell on his face.
Wushuang's curiosity sparked, and he thought in his heart, there must be someone on the roof, and let me go up and take a look. Siding put aside the footbath and climbed up to the roof along the drying rack in the backyard.
Wushuang went up to the roof, swept around, and by the moonlight, he saw a person lying on the eaves from a distance, dressed in black, short in stature, not like an adult. Wushuang thought to himself, 'In the middle of the night, lying on the roof and sipping melon seeds, so affectionate, and let me see who you are?' Wushuang cat's waist and tiptoed close to the man, trying not to make a sound, and when he got closer, he couldn't help crying and laughing.
I saw that the person was a woman, full of green silk coiled into a hanging bun, hanging on both sides, dressed in black, carrying a bag on her back, holding a bag of melon seeds in her hand, eating with relish, but I saw that the woman reached out and pinched out a few melon seeds, threw them into her mouth, rattled, bit open the shell, licked out the melon kernels, puffed out her small mouth, spit out the skin of the melon seeds, and floated down leisurely. The woman obviously didn't know that Wushuang had appeared behind her at this moment, and when she was happy, her two feet were still kicking and kicking back and forth, and Wushuang couldn't help but think of the shoe that she threw at her during the day.
Wushuang smiled mischievously, reached into his arms, took out a thing, threw it at the woman, and said, "Look at the darts." ”
The woman suddenly heard the voice, trembled with fright, and the bag of melon seeds in her hand was also half shaken out, and she looked closely, but saw a black thing flying towards her in the dark, and the woman hurriedly got up and dodged, fortunately, Wushuang did not kill the killer, otherwise suddenly, and defenseless, this woman would never be able to avoid this dart.
Rao is so, the woman was also frightened enough, when the woman calmed down, a closer look, the person turned out to be Wushuang, the girl whispered: "Are you a rat, scared to death." ”
When Wushuang heard this, he was slightly stunned and said, "Why is it all like this today!"
The girl is none other than the thief in the daytime today. When the girl heard this, she didn't know what to say, and said, "What did you say?"
Wushuang replied, "It's nothing. What are you doing here?"
The girl knew that Wushuang was kind-hearted and would not hurt herself, so she said: "I want you to take care of it, didn't I say it during the day, today's matter, you can't forget it so quickly, little junior brother." ”
Wushuang couldn't help but be annoyed when she heard the girl call her junior brother, and said, "Of course I don't dare to forget it, but I didn't expect that Miss Qianlong would come to find a venue so soon." ”
Qianlong couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard Wushuang call his name, and said, "How do you know my name?"
Wushuang didn't answer, and continued: "Do you believe it or not? If you call me a junior brother again, I will make you never speak again." ”
Qianlong had never seen Wushuang's expression, and he was really bluffed, and said, "If you don't call, you won't call, as for it!"
Wushuang said again: "You haven't answered my question yet, let me ask you what you are doing here?"
Qianlong replied, "Watch the play." ”
Wushuang was surprised and said, "Watching a play?"
Qianlong hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a quiet expression, "Oh, you be quiet, don't let others find out." ”
Wushuang still couldn't come back to his senses, and said, "What play?"
Qianlong whispered to Nunu under the eaves, "Look for yourself! ”
Wushuang looked in the direction pointed out by Qianlong, and saw that outside the lobby of the post house, Wumian was still kneeling in place, and he didn't know when there was a woman beside him. Wushuang suddenly felt very interesting, and hurriedly squatted down to take a closer look, Qianlong saw Wushuang's performance, and said proudly: "How is it? I didn't lie to you." ”
Wushuang saw Hua Wumian and Flawless, his lips moved slightly, as if he was talking about something. Impatiently said, "Okay, don't be verbose." I can't even hear what they say. "Emotional gossip is not a woman's patent.
When Qianlong saw Wushuang's appearance, he didn't feel funny, leaned on the eaves, moved his body, and whispered: "Hey, you lie down, let others see it, it's not fun." ”
Hearing this, Wushuang obediently lay beside Qianlong, still staring intently at the two people in the hall. Qianlong took the half-packet of melon seeds and said to Wushuang: "Hey, whether you eat melon seeds or not, it's very fragrant." ”
Without turning his head, he replied, "You can eat it yourself, I don't know where it came from." ”
Hearing this, Qianlong raised his little fist and gestured at Wushuang a few times, but after all, he didn't fight, and pursed his small mouth and ignored him.
