Wu Xiang was stunned from the sidelines, he couldn't intervene at all, "Good skills." ”

"I don't even look at what kind of territory the dance and music workshop is, and I dare to trespass." The masked man who spoke was a woman, "Go back and tell your father Qian Zhizhou, and compensate for smashing things today." Get lost! "A group of people were tied up and escorted out by other masked men.

"The girl is very skilled." Wu Xiang stepped forward and hugged his fists, "I didn't expect the girl to dance well and be so extraordinary." ”

"Thanks to the strong man for the rescue today." The voice changed from sharp just now to very gentle, and the masked man took off his scarf, revealing a delicate and bright face, "The little girl Xiuniang thanked the strong man, how do you know that it is me?" ”

"On stage before, I noticed that the girl had taken out a few needles in her hand, and I guess I wanted to stab the fat man. I just found a few needles pierced in a person, and I guessed that you did it. Those masked people should all be women, and I guess they are also people from the house. ”

"This thing is called a plum blossom needle." Xiuniang took out a needle, as thin as cow's hair, "Made of special steel, although it is thin but extremely hard, it does not feel when pierced, but the pain is unbearable immediately." As long as the acupuncture point is pierced, the opponent can be restrained, and if he pierces the door, he will be killed on the spot. ”

Wu Xiang found that this dance workshop was really unfathomable. "I am in charge of this workshop for the time being, and my sisters are all from poor backgrounds, so we only want to find a place to live, and we practice dancing and music during the day, and we also run an embroidery workshop, and perform at night to get some income. But there are still unscrupulous people who want to be inferior to us, and we just have to learn some martial arts. ”

Wu Xiang felt that although Xiuniang came up and talked about it, her words were a little fluttering, and the truth didn't seem to be so simple. It was inconvenient for him to say anything, and it was even more inconvenient for him to stay in the courtyard of the woman's boudoir, so he had to leave.

After that, Wu Xiang still went to the dance club every night, and he was not idle during the day, secretly investigating the background of this music shop.

"Is it Wu Gongzi? Show lady inside please. One night, the cousin found Wu Xiang and led him through the courtyard to a room. After Wu Xiang entered the house, the room was very elegantly furnished, and a table of wine and food was placed. Just as she was wondering, Xiuniang walked out from behind the screen. This time she was not masked, she was wearing a long aqua green brocade robe, with golden silk threads outlining plum blossoms, and a white silk handkerchief adorned with the outer placket of the brocade robe, which danced gently in the wind when she walked. "Wu Gongzi, thank you for your rescue last time, and this time I specially set up a banquet to show my gratitude." Xiuniang sat down and poured wine for Wu Xiang. Although Wu Xiang felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, it was not easy to push back, so he took a glass of wine and drank it. Xiuniang started talking to him, Wu Xiang only felt that the other party's body was getting closer and closer, so close that he could smell the faint fragrance of Xiuniang's body, and his face burned a little. He saw that Xiuniang was already a little drunk, and hurriedly persuaded her, "It's not early, it's inconvenient for Wu to disturb more, Xiuniang, please rest early." Immediately stood up, and at this time Xiuniang also got up, shook twice and collapsed on top of him. Wu Xiang was so frightened that he could only catch her with both hands, and the candlelight reflected on her face, revealing a softness. But at this time, Wu Xiang had only one thought in his mind, to get out and leave quickly. He shook Xiuniang, she seemed to be very drunk and didn't react, Wu Xiang shouted a few times outside the door but no one answered. After helping her into the screen, he helped her to the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with the quilt. was about to leave, when suddenly Xiuniang put an arm around his neck, and he staggered and almost stuck to someone's body. Wu Xiang quickly broke free, folded the quilt, and left quickly, his forehead was already sweating. After going out, he found that there was no one outside the door, but fortunately no one found out, so he slipped out of the dance club at night. At this time, Xiuniang had already opened her eyes, looked out, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

When the tenth day arrived, Wu Xiang went to report to Bai Sheng. "This dance club is really not simple." He simply told Bai Sheng about the trouble made by the prince of Qian Zhizhou that day and a group of masked people, but he didn't say anything about Xiuniang inviting him to the banquet.

"Oh, do you think these women really have any background to hide?"

"At that time, I took a needle from a person who was hit by a plum blossom needle, and asked around the blacksmith to find that this needle was forged by cold iron, not from this area, and later I heard that there is this kind of iron ore in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is famous for embroidery. I inquired, Xiuniang is from Qingzhou. ”

"It's funny."

"Because the time is too short, I can't go to Qingzhou to verify, otherwise I might be able to dig out the details of Xiuniang. However, I found out that this dance club is still related to Hefeng Yaxu. Their dancers often come to the Lotus Elegance to perform for fun, and this dance workshop was originally invested by Mu Hanshuang. In addition, the dance and music workshop operates an embroidery workshop, and this embroidery workshop is nominally open to the outside world, in fact, it is not for sale, they will send people to the homes of various dignitaries and nobles to send embroidery every time, and the customers who send it are fixed channels, and the people who send them are also fixed people. In the next opinion, if you just sell some tea and embroidery, it is difficult to support such a large music workshop. ”

"You're doing a good job." Wu Xiang was about to continue, but Bai Sheng interrupted him, "This matter ends here." ”

Wu Xiang felt that he finally had some eyebrows, why did Bai Sheng tell him to stop. "Don't meddle in this matter again. Remember, you will do what I ask you to do, and if you don't let you do it, if you ask more and meddle more, you will bear the consequences. ”

"Yes, Katsuye."

"Alright, you go about your work." After Wu Xiang left, the goatee walked out from behind the screen. "How?" Bai Sheng's attitude towards this person became very respectful.

"Yes, it can stand the test of Xiuniang. This person is useful. The man wrung his beard. From tomorrow, he will be transferred to the inner government to listen to the errand, and some things in Qingyun Division can be entrusted to him to do. ”

"Is it reliable to leave it to him?"

"It's just a peripheral affair. This person is ambitious, and now is the time to employ people, as long as we hold it, if there is an accident in the future, it is a big deal to be an outcast. ”

The time for Bai Xuan to go to Japan was approaching, and Lin Sining did not listen to his father's dissuasion, but still went to see him in the other garden. The autumn wind swept down the ginkgo biloba leaves, like a golden butterfly flying down slowly, Bai Xuan stroked the piano under the tree, plain white, and the leaves gently kissed his shoulder. Lin Sining was fascinated, and for the first time in her nineteen years, she experienced "love but not". She has begged her father more than once not to send Bai Xuan to stay in the ocean, but her father said that the court has issued an edict and cannot change it, otherwise it will be disobedient to the holy decree. Lin Sining has believed that Bai Xuan is the person she wants to marry since she was a child, even if he says that he only thinks he is his sister, he feels that everything has room to turn around, and she always carefully cares for the intimacy between brother and sister. Even if his heart belongs, she is still willing to keep this heart and wait for him to come back. "Brother Hanyu, are you leaving?" Lin Sining sat next to the piano and listened to him stroke the piano.

"I'll leave in a few days, I can't take this piano with me, I want to play it when I leave." He stroked the piano twice with some reluctance.

"Why don't I tell my dad to go, I'll go with you, I'll bring the piano with me, and play it with you every day, how about it?" Lin Sining held his head with his hand and looked at Bai Xuan.

"Don't think about it." Bai Xuan rubbed her head, "How could your father rest assured that you would go so far away." Besides, if you go, don't I feel more worried? ”

"Brother Hanyu, are you still worried about me?" Lin Sining blinked.

"Of course, you're my good sister." He shaved her nose lightly and looked at her and smiled. She indulged in his smile like a spring breeze.

After Lin Sining returned home, she begged Lin Yongqin to let her accompany Bai Xuan to Dongying as well. Lin Yongqin was furious, Si Ning had never seen her father so angry, she asked again and again. Lin Yongqin didn't expect his daughter to be so infatuated and forbade her to go out again until Bai Xuan left.

The autumn wind blew off the leaves, which confused the thoughts of many people, and also made the scene a little bleak. At the gate of the city, Bai Jingtang and his wife exchanged a few words with Bai Xuan, although they were a little reluctant, but considering that it was a glorious lintel, it was not good to show a sad expression. Han Zheng also came to see him off, followed by a few small guys, one of them looked extremely thin, and he couldn't see his face clearly when the brim of his hat was lowered. No one in the Bai family paid attention to these entourages, and followed Han Zheng to greet them. "Uncle and aunt, I'll give Hanyu a ride, please rest assured." After saying goodbye to the Bai family, Han Zheng gave Bai Xuan a color, and then looked at the small guy behind. That little guy was Shen Zhiqing, she peeked at Bai Xuan, and then blended into the entourage and followed their carriage towards the outside of the city.

Han Zheng saw him off to the Shili Pavilion, Bai Xuan asked his entourage to wait for him in front, and he went over after saying goodbye. Shen Zhiqing was finally able to look at Bai Xuan face to face this time, the two looked at each other speechless, and Han Zheng was guarding outside the pavilion, asking them to leave more time to get together. "You've lost weight." Zhiqing looked at Bai Xuan, her eyes full of pity. Bai Xuan took Zhiqing and hugged it in his arms, "I haven't told you all this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it for a while, and now I can't care about this, I just want to marry you." Whether my parents agree or not, no matter where my home is, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. ”

Zhiqing's eyes were already moist, and at this time she also wanted to be as brave as Bai Xuan, "I'll wait for you to come back, no matter how long, wait for you to marry me." ”

"I will." Bai Xuan held Zhiqing for a long time and was reluctant to let go. Time could not allow them to continue to keep warm, Zhiqing took out a purse, "This is my embroidery, there is a piece of my hair in it, I am willing to tie your hair, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son." ”

Bai Xuan took the purse, pursed her lips, and felt that the purse weighed a thousand catties for a while, and her heart felt like touching a thousand strings, and she only felt that her thoughts were surging every minute and every second. He gently put it into his arms and took out a cloth bag from his body, "This is the silver ticket in my name and all the farmlands, I will hand them over to you, if our parents do not allow us to marry, we can spend the rest of our lives in peace." Including your family, I want you to have no worries about food and clothing from now on. ”

Shen Zhiqing was a little stunned, and was so frightened that she retracted her hand, "I can't accept this, it's too heavy." You put it there first, and then you can talk about it when you come back. ”

"I only have this sincerity, and it's not worth much to others, so it's better to give it to you." Bai Xuan forced the cloth bag to her, "Just when I travel far away, you keep it for me, even if you use it, it doesn't matter, even if it's my entrustment." ”

Zhiqing didn't shirk either, "I'll keep it for you for the time being, and I'll return it to you when you come back." ”

Bai Xuan kissed her on the forehead affectionately, and Zhiqing hugged him tightly, "Where my heart goes, it is where I settle down, you are here, and I am also there." ”

Finally, Bai Xuan embarked on the journey again, and Shen Zhiqing shook his hand desperately behind him, shouting, "I'll wait for you." Bai Xuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back at her. The two looked at each other until they faded into each other's eyes, leaving only a rut stretching ahead.
