Untitled Chapter 20
"After redeeming yourself and entering the house, you can have as much as you want, and if you hear it tonight, ask him to open the door for you, and then you will look into the house, and the more carefully you look, the better, with the sachet as a proof, remember?" Li Yan said with a feeling, putting all the benefits in front of her.
Drunken Liu couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart about what was in this door, this Li Gongzi cared so much about the door, could it be that there was something strange, no matter what was in the door, he couldn't care so much now, so he promised to come down first.
"Yes, Childe."
"Childe, I'm too, I've also seen the ...... of soul chaos"
At this time, the red peony hurriedly said next to it.
Drunken Willow glanced at the red peony, she had also seen it? It turned out that the monk was not the only one who saved her.
"Oh? You don't want to be rewarded too, do you? Li Yan looked at the red peony and seemed to see through her thoughts, with a playful face.
"Because it's not a good thing, and it's weird, I always feel like I'm about to touch ......"
Red Peony's face turned pale, and she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"I'm going to Princess Xi's family banquet, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Li Yan interrupted impatiently, and before she could finish speaking, she got up and left impatiently.
"I didn't make it up, Li GongziβI really am." Red Peony looked at Li Gongzi and shouted anxiously when he was about to leave, hoping that Li Gongzi would come back to listen to her.
"Wang Wu! Prepare the horses! β
Soon Li Gongzi rode a horse and left.
Red Peony looked at the back of Li Gongzi leaving a little stunned, but he was helpless.
"Sister Peony, I believe you have a lot of other girls in your dreams, I seem to have seen something like you."
Drunken Willow didn't think she was lying.
Red Peony: "........."
"So what's going on with this Soul Chaos? Are our dreams connected? Will you really be swept away if you touch that big bell? Sister Peony, I'm so scared. β
"Don't talk about it."
Red Peony suddenly shouted, which scared Drunken Willow into trembling, and the whole person couldn't stand up.
"Don't show off your favor in front of me!"
Red Peony glared at her and yelled angrily.
"Showmanship? Favored? Drunken Willow really didn't expect that Red Peony thought she was showing off to her.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I'm going back to Yihong Courtyard! Red Peony stood up and pulled the drunken willow aside.
Red Peony roared angrily as she walked towards the door and left straight away, almost knocking down Xiaolan outside the door.
"Alas, Sister Liu'er, wasn't that Sister Peony from Yihong Courtyard just now? How is she so aggressive? Xiaolan looked at the person who left in a menacing manner and said to Drunken Willow.
"It's okay, Xiaolan, let's go back too, help me prepare, in the evening, I'm going to go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace again." Drunken Willow shook his head, secretly thinking in his heart that no matter what, I must seize this opportunity.
It was getting dark, and after the drunken willow cleaned up, he quietly slipped to the back door, and walked a while out of the back door to the front of the grass hut.
"Huh? Is that? β
Drunken Willow saw a familiar figure in front of the grass hut.
The sound of a woman crying came from the direction of the thatched hut.
"Please, Master, I'll take a look...... Guru! The red peony sat in front of the straw hut and begged bitterly.
"Donor, please come back." Huai Jin's salty voice came from inside the door.
"When the time comes, I will take a look, and if you open the door, I will take a look." The red peony crying is called a pear blossom with rain.
Drunken Willow cried like this for the first time when she saw a red peony.
Red Peony sensed that someone was approaching at this time, and she raised her head to look at the drunken willow.
Drunken Willow could clearly see the helplessness in her eyes, and Drunken Willow looked at the helplessness in her eyes and thought of the past......
After he came home from the Qinglou, he found that his home was no longer there, and he was helpless and hesitant at that time.
"Drunken Willow...... There you are. β
After a long time, the red peony wiped her tears and said.
"Sister Peony, this ......"
Drunken Willow was a little embarrassed.
Soon, she found that Red Peony's eyes had become cold again.
"Hmph, don't think you can easily catch Li Gongzi." She glanced at Drunken Willow coldly.
"Master! Master Huaijin! Listen to me! Then Li Gongzi wants to harm you and Master Jingfan, so he sent us to include Drunken Willow! β
Suddenly, the face of the red peony changed instantly, and it became a pitiful one, and he crusaded against the drunken willow hoarsely, like that, it is obvious that since I can't achieve my goal, don't think about it.
"Sister Peony, you βββ"
Drunken Willow didn't expect Red Peony to say this, she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Drunken Liu, she is the hardest and most vicious, she lied to you to open the door, and told Li Gongzi all the things in the door, they are planning to harm you."
"Nonsense!" Drunken Willow shouted, a little angry, has Red Peony lost his mind? Can't let her go crazy like this anymore, Drunken Liu thought about it and quickly stopped.
"I just said he opened the door and didn't say anything else." Drunken Willow hurriedly explained.
"Do you dare to say that you didn't come to trick the master into opening the door tonight?"
"I ......"
The drunken willow was choked by the words of the red peony.
"Nothing to say, right? Li Gongzi is so eager to see what is going on in the door, haven't you ever doubted it? Didn't you tell me that day, Li Gongzi, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy? As soon as Red Peony said this, there was silence in the room, but Drunken Willow still felt that something strange came from the people inside.
"You, don't talk nonsense! Where did I say such a thing? Even if I doubted it, I never wanted to hurt anyone! β
Drunken Liu listened to Red Peony's words, and was afraid that the people in the door would be taken crooked by her, so she hurriedly spoke up.
"But aren't you still here? It's not like I'm thinking of using sweet words to trick Huai Jin into bringing your sachet when he fights, and then you can enter the Li Mansion to live your happy life. β
"Red Peony!! Do you hate me that much? It's a little thing that is supposed to be a reward, can an empty promise make you turn your face like this? β
Drunken Willow was also a little angry, although this was the case, but after the processing of the red peony, it still sounded extremely harsh, and you could feel the thick jealousy in her words.
"Yes, I hate you so much, as long as you will sing in Xihongyuan tomorrow, I will rest assured, it is best to be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next year, the year after tomorrow, forever in Xihongyuan!"
Red Peony laughed out loud, and then ran away without looking back.
Only the drunken willow and a grass hut and the wooden door that was only one door away were left, and the people behind the wooden door, as well as the unattainable door of the Li family.
After Red Peony ran away crying and laughing, the grass shed seemed to be quiet again.
The drunken willow is still through the closed wooden door, as if talking to herself.
"She, she, gone, did you hear me?"
It was still so quiet behind the door.
"Even if you don't speak, I know you must have heard it, and you hate me in your heart?"
Drunken Willow didn't, and stopped because no one responded.
And the other side of the door still didn't respond, and Drunken Liu thought with some hatred, what does this monk want?
"Hey, monk, if you say something, will you die? If you want to scold me, you can scold, everything she said is true.
But in this world, none of us always have a little hope, but we are disappointed again and again.
In fact, in the past, Sister Peony was kind to me, when I first came here, at that time, I was just holding a pipa and didn't even dare to speak.
It was she who took the initiative to introduce two regular customers to me, both of whom were hospitable and liked to listen to music.
Thanks to her, I survived and didn't get beaten to death by my mother.
But she's like this now, do you really think about her?
If she didn't scold me and bully me so ruthlessly, she couldn't extinguish the fire in her heart at all, she was about to be deceived by the ransom guest before.
Now that she has grabbed Li Gongzi, this life-saving straw, she is afraid that she will not want to let go of it even if she lives or dies.
So I'm not mad at him, in fact, I do mean to lie to you.
Just because I'm pitiful, I want to pull you in.
It's my fault in the first place, and I don't blame her.
So, how good you say is rich and powerful, people like Li Gongzi, how carefree they should be all day long.
As long as you throw out a little favor, such as this bracelet, we like it very much, yes, you can't see it through the door.
This is a jade bracelet, Sister Peony's eyes will erupt with fire when Li Gongzi rewards me, but what are these things to Li Gongzi?
He casually threw the bracelet to me like a random bone to a puppy, and watched us scramble.
In fact, Li Gongzi is a hateful person! β
The more Drunken Liu spoke, the more excited he became, as if there was a fire in his heart.
"Then why are you still looking forward to being redeemed by him?"
Suddenly, a voice came from inside the door.
Drunken Liu was talking to herself, but she didn't expect that the monk behind the door suddenly came to such a sentence at this time, which startled her.
"You- you spoke, why did you suddenly speak?
Forget it, in fact, I did think about lying to you today, what do you ask, I'll answer you.
In fact, Li Gongzi is a relative of the emperor and a young talent, for us girls, if we miss such a benefactor, maybe, I don't know if there will be another one in this life.
He may be richer next year than he is this year, but next year we will be older than this year, right?
Of course, he won't be very nice to me, and I know that, and I don't deserve to be pampered and loved by him.
Just think of him as a ladder that I can climb through the hard days now, and as for the future, I won't be worse than now, right?
I don't know how you and your master provoked Li Gongzi, he just wants to spy on you in different ways.
In the future, what sister is he going to call again, you must not open the door, or it will seem like Sister Peony and I are incompetent, okay? β
Drunken Liu said a lot to herself, and at this time there was silence behind the door, and she thought that she had a chance this time, and it seemed that she had thought too much.
"The moon is so big and bright that the stars are dim, so I'll sing you a tune! When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight......"
Li Gongzi's house.
"Childe, why don't you go over to the dinner in Princess Xi's mansion?" Wang Wu said.
At this time, Li Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and asked to himself.
"Wang Wu, is it really useful for you to say that people want to live forever?"
"This ...... The little stupid ones don't understand. Since it is a noble person like Princess Hee, who wants to live forever, it must be useful. Wang Wu scratched his head and said a little confused.
"Yes, it's not just her, even my father is the same, when I heard Changsheng'an's eyes lit up, probably because I'm not old enough, I really can't think of this taste of immortality now, but one thing is really true." Li Yan thought of Princess Xi, his father, and many people.
"Oh?" Wang Wu didn't understand.
"People, they are originally rich and low, poor and lowly bodies, and living is also a sin, those girls in the fire pit, help them get free, and the Buddha will agree to make trouble, don't you say?"
The corners of Li Yan's mouth twitched, and he smiled faintly.
"Childe...... You mean red peonies for them? β
"Yes, red peony, drunken willow, Lan Lan, Fei Fei...... It's all stupid names, stupid women, and their lives don't add up to Princess Xi's gold, right? Li Yan said slowly, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked rhetorically.
Wang Wu was silent at this time, not knowing what to say, because he was also a lowly person.
"Childe? What happened to you? Wang Wu looked at Li Yan's expression at this time, and asked with some concern.
"I didn't ...... No. β
Wang Wu's face turned pale when he was stared at by Li Yan's appearance, and he thought that he was afraid that Gongzi was still waiting for his answer, and said with some embarrassment.
"If you have time to be in a daze, you might as well help me urge Drunken Willow to go.
It is not good for the servants of my own family to send to the grass hut of the Temple of Mercy and Grace to inquire about the news, and to hang them with some small profits and let them help me do this work.
In addition, if you inquire more about the soul chaos, how many girls have been hooked away recently, and report to me once a day. β
Li Yan glanced at Wang Wu, who was a little dazed.
"Childe, isn't that nonsense? Red Peony also suffered from that soul chaos? Wang Wu was a little surprised.
"Oh, you still think about the red peony? Although she is a fireworks woman, she is not something you can redeem herself, so you should take care of it as soon as possible. Li Yan glanced at him lightly.
"Yes, yes, Childe said yes." Wang Wu arrived again and again.
"Then why don't you hurry up and help me urge it, by the way, my godmother's side, hurry up and reply to a word, just say that my new Xiangdan will pass in the evening, and she will definitely like it."
"Yes, it must be brought, it must be brought." Wang Wu respectfully retreated to the door.
"Wait until you come back and give me one more word, and tell her your eternal birthday gift, and it's almost ready." The corners of Li Yan's mouth hooked up a smile, and the smile was a little calm.
When Wang Wu heard what he said, he was a little stunned and couldn't understand what he meant. Just retreated.
Day 2.
Xihongyuan, the door of the drunken willow came early in the morning, and the scolding of Wang's mother.
"Drunken Willow, you recognize a dead girl, where did you run away last night? Wang Yuanwai asked you to roll the name by name, but as a result, I couldn't find you everywhere! Mother Wang's scolding spread throughout Xihongyuan.
"I'm going to accompany Li Gongzi, he-let me go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to sing a little song at night." Drunken Willow thought for a moment before speaking.
"Go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to sing a little song? Do you sing it to the Buddha or to the Bodhisattva? Do you think I'll believe it? "Mother Wang looks like I believe in you as a ghost.
"Mom didn't believe it, so she just beat Liu'er, anyway, it doesn't make a difference." Drunken Liu straightened his waist and rolled his eyes.
"You-" Mother Wang was so angry by her words that she picked up the rattan in her hand and hit her as she spoke.
At this moment, Xiaolan hurriedly ran in from outside.
"Sister Liu'er, it's not good!!"
When he came in, he screamed.
"What is it called! What's wrong? Mother Wang glared at Zuiliu, then turned her head and shouted at Xiaolan.
"Mom, Mom, you're there too...... Xiaolan shrunk her neck in fright, and said with some fear.
"What's wrong? Xiaolan saw that you were sweating profusely, was something wrong? Drunken Liu took out the handkerchief in her arms and wiped the sweat from her head.
Xiaolan said calmly.
"I just went to the Yihong Courtyard next door, and I saw that the courtyard was full of people, and there were still people."
"?!" Mother Wang was shocked, and secretly thought that there would be no death.
Then I asked Xiaofang from Yihong Courtyard, and she said...... Red Peony died this morning!! β
Xiaolan said in shock.
