The spring noon sun shines through the windows, and the lush flowers and trees in the courtyard reflect the greenery of the room. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

The room was quiet, and the occasional whisper of a maid could be heard outside, making the surroundings more and more silent.

In the green gauze tent, Luo Qifang, who was covered with a royal blue embroidered brocade quilt and wrapped in circles of gauze on his head, opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent above in a daze, his forehead was still throbbing for a while, and his eyes were in a trance.

He is a native of Suzhou, Jiangnan, his family is a family of cultivation and reading, four generations of single transmission, from his great-grandfather, grandfather to father only passed the examination and stopped, to him, three years old literacy, four years old reading, five years old poetry...... When he was weak in the year, he won the lift, and he was still the second place in the township test.

Whether it is his family, husband, fellow villagers, and classmates, they all have high expectations for him, and even he himself feels that he is nine out of ten stable!

Since arriving in Beijing, he has been full of spirit and eager to try, thinking about the ten-year cold window and looking at the present day, but he didn't expect the accident to come suddenly, making him fall into the bottomless abyss all of a sudden......

His right hand was broken by his life, and not only that, but he was deliberately healed......

He knew clearly in his heart who instructed those idlers to deliberately break his right hand, and who secretly instigated Baicaotang to deliberately heal his hand, however, it was a royal nobleman, a noble daughter of the heavenly family, he couldn't afford to provoke it, and there was no evidence!

Originally, he had given up this year's Spring Festival, and just wanted to heal his hand and start over in three years, but-

His right hand is completely ruined!

With this hand, he could no longer write or draw...... Besides, the court chooses officials, and the cripples don't need it.

His ideals and ambitions, his twenty years of hard work, and all his hopes were ruined by a lewd poisonous woman, and only his empty skin remained.

He didn't intend to live, although everything he did was for revenge, but the dirty means he used were so dirty that he could never hold his chest high and tell others frankly in the future:

He is Suzhou Luo Qifang, the word Shiheng.

The bottom of Luo Qifang's eyes was deep, dark and dark, like a bottomless abyss, without a trace of light.

For a long time, his eyelashes trembled slightly, like moths to a fire, with a kind of determination and sadness.

Unexpectedly, God actually brought him back to life!

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a wry smile spread all the way to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Da ......"

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound, followed the sound, and saw that the gray-clothed woman who was sitting by the window napping tilted her head, and the whole person was lying on the carved table, motionless.

A small pebble the size of a dragon's eye rolled from her feet in the direction of the bed......

This is......

Luo Qifang's eyes widened slightly, and he raised his eyes to look out of the window again, and a long man in green clothes appeared outside the window like a ghost at some point, and came in lightly through the window.

The man in Tsing Yi and Luo Qifang looked at each other, smiled slightly, and walked towards him.

Luo Qifang looked at the man in Tsing Yi so calmly, without panic or fear, because for him, it didn't matter whether he was dead or alive now, he was already like ashes.

The man in Tsing Yi quickly walked to the couch, looked down at Luo Qifang, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said softly with a smile: "Master Luo, it's not you, why are you looking for death?" ”

Luo Qifang on the bed didn't move, ignored him, looked away from him, and looked at the top of the gauze tent in a daze.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't care, he looked at a calligraphy and painting on the wall, and continued to say to himself: "Life is just a few decades in the world, why do you study hard in the cold window? Fame and fortune? Glory to the ancestors? For the country and the people? …… Or is it to serve the 'grace' of God? ”

The man in Tsing Yi deliberately increased the volume of the word "Holy Grace", with a thick sarcasm in his tone.

Luo Qifang's eyes widened slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the current court and their emperor......

He studied hard for more than ten years, of course, he was ambitious.

Ten years ago, his father went out to study, but it coincided with the flooding of Nancheng, and the heavy rain washed away the embankment that had not been repaired for three years, and the entire Nancheng was destroyed, including his father.

Over the years, he has devoted himself to studying, and he also hopes to be able to enter the imperial examination, be an official for one of his parents, and seek benefits for the people, so as not to let such a tragedy happen again, but now, everything is ruined!

And himself!

Luo Qifang slowly raised his slightly twisted right hand, and the filthy things of these days flashed in his mind, his face became more and more pale, and his chest rose and fell for a while, as if he was about to vomit......

He said lightly: "What's the point of talking about this now......

His voice was hollow and weak, and he couldn't turn back!

Seeing Luo Qifang's reaction, the corners of the man's lips curled higher, and he said meaningfully: "Young Master Luo, if what you are asking for is to ask for the people's life, why do you need to be obsessed with whether to enter the imperial examination!" ”

After a while, Luo Qifang finally moved.

He slowly sat up from the bed, then turned his head to look at the man in Tsing Yi, his handsome face was as white as paper, but his originally empty eyes seemed to have a hint of brilliance, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Young Master Luo, this way of being an official is not black and white, even if Gongzi really enters the imperial examination, will he definitely be able to show his ambitions?" The man in Tsing Yi said slowly, "Even if it's a thousand miles, it still needs to be appreciated by 'Bole'!" ”

"So, your master is my Bole?" Luo Qifang directly picked out the words.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled even more heartily, "I just like to talk to smart people!" ”

In the room, there was silence, and a pin drop could be heard.

Luo Qifang quietly looked at the man in Tsing Yi a few steps away, this person can enter and exit the princess's mansion like no one, obviously has the ability that ordinary people do not have, and the other party has already investigated himself clearly......

Naturally, his master will not be a simple character!

Since the other party found him, he obviously couldn't get used to Changqing's behavior...... Not to mention anything else, just this one, their position is the same!

The man in Tsing Yi stood aside leisurely, not urging Luo Qifang...... I don't know how long it took before Luo Qifang spoke again: "You, what do you need me to do?" ”

Regarding Luo Qifang's choice, the man in Tsing Yi was not surprised.

This Luo Qifang was originally a smart person, and from the fact that he used his sword to take revenge on Changqing in this way, it can be seen that he is not a pedantic and rigid person.

"Let's start by living," the man in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows, took a step closer to the bed with his negative hand, and his eyes were shining, "and then ......"

"Booming ......"

Outside, a breeze blew, causing the branches and leaves in the courtyard to shake slightly, and the sky was bright.

When the wind stopped, only Luo Qifang and the gray-clothed woman who had passed out were left in the room.

Luo Qifang sat on the bed in a daze, motionless, expressionless......

"......

When another cold spring breeze blew into the room, he suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, his eyes were relieved, and at the same time, a spark of ambition was ignited, and he jumped excitedly.

He didn't care who the master in Tsing Yi's mouth was just now, even if the other party wanted to use him, it didn't matter, anyway, he was a living dead, as long as he had a chance to fulfill his long-cherished wish, no matter how weak and slim the opportunity was, he was willing to give it a try!

He, what else is there to lose!

"Pedal ......"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Luo Qifang's ears moved slightly.

Soon, the door curtain was raised from the outside, and a begonia red shadow rushed in.

The visitor's eyes fell on the "sleepy" gray-clothed woman by the window at a glance, stomped her feet, and casually picked up a fruit on the table next to her and threw it at the gray-clothed woman, and reprimanded angrily: ", the county lord asked you to take care of people here, but he didn't let you sleep here!" ”

Jiuhua was already irritable in his heart, and when he saw that the gray-clothed woman dared to be lazy, he was even more angry in his heart.

Jiuhua had just come back from the palace, and the Empress Dowager He summoned her to Cining Palace early in the morning, first hard and then soft, scolding for a while, persuading for a while, saying that she would point out a marriage for her, so that she would not be so willful; He also said that the emperor is still pressing those imperial histories, if she can't hold it down, ask her if she really wants to go to the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and she will live for the rest of her life?!

Jiuhua thought about it, and couldn't help pouting, and a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, she didn't do anything wrong, she and Brother Luo are in love, why does her mother have to snatch love, why does her grandmother want to help her mother to hinder her and Brother Luo!

Obviously, my grandmother and mother discussed it early yesterday morning, and they would fool this matter over, so that Aunt Anping Huang would make a scandal and go to Beiyan, so naturally no one would talk about their mother and daughter and Brother Luo......

However, today, my grandmother suddenly changed her order and said that she wanted to marry her......

The fruit was thrown out with Jiuhua's anger, and it happened to be thrown on the shoulder of the gray-clothed woman, however, the gray-clothed woman was still lying there motionless, Jiuhua was even more angry, and was about to shout, when he heard a hoarse male voice say: "Jiu...... Chinese. ”

Jiuhua's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the bed, only to see Luo Qifang sitting there with his arms in his arms, looking at himself gently, as in the past.

It's just that his face is so haggard, and the dazzling blood stains can be seen under the gauze wrapped on his forehead, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight, as if it will float away when the wind blows, which makes Jiuhua feel distressed.

"Brother Luo......" Jiuhua called softly, his voice trembling slightly, and his whole heart jumped like a deer crashing.

Jiuhua seemed to be afraid of scaring Luo Qifang, and cautiously walked to the bed, choking slightly in his throat.

Since Luo Qifang woke up yesterday, he hasn't opened his mouth again, and he refuses to eat......

She knew that his heart was like a clear breeze and a bright moon, pure and immaculate, and where could there be a grain of sand in his eyes, but he was polluted by his mother...... He must have broken his heart so much that he decided to cut himself!

At this moment, hearing that Luo Qifang was willing to call her name again, Jiuhua couldn't help but be ecstatic, and her heart was surging and undulating like a tide.

"Brother Luo!" Jiuhua finally couldn't suppress the tide in his heart, and flew on him like a milk swallow returning to the nest, crying loudly, "You finally ignore me!" ”

Luo Qifang was so stiff that he was hugged by Jiuhua, and after a while, he said slowly: "Jiuhua, it's me...... I'm sorry for you. His voice was hoarse and harsh, as if it had been squeezed out of his throat.

"No!" Jiuhua raised his head in his warm chest, his eyes were covered with a faint mist, the tip of his nose was red, and he said excitedly, "It's all my mother's fault!" Brother Luo, I don't blame you, we are married, we are husband and wife, husband and wife are one, we should be in the same boat! ”

Luo Qifang's body trembled slightly when he heard Jiuhua say "mother", and his pupils shrank sharply, as if he had been stabbed.

He closed his eyes and said with a gloomy face: "Jiuhua, there is something...... Even if I can pretend it didn't happen, can your mother? ”

Hearing this, Jiuhua's eyes suddenly widened, and there was silence all around, leaving only the sound of the two of them pounding their heartbeats.

Luo Qifang smiled bitterly, and said, "Your mother, you must know better than me...... Will she let go?! ”

Jiuhua's face was even more ugly, and he buried his little face in Luo Qifang's chest, tightly wrapped around his waist, and his eyes were dark.

Her mother, she knows best.

As long as the mother wants a man to get it, there is nothing that can't be won!

If her mother refuses to let go as soon as she refuses to let go, Yushi will impeach her and her mother with the "mother-daughter husband", and her grandmother will only force her to give up Brother Luo!

Why did she give up Brother Luo?!

Brother Luo likes her obviously, and she is the only one...... If she didn't have a mother, her grandmother would have helped her, right?!

Thinking of this, Jiuhua's eyes became deeper, and he hugged Luo Qifang harder, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother Luo, no one wants to break us up, no one wants to break us up......"

"Jiuhua ......" Luo Qifang gently patted Jiuhua's back, again and again, but his eyes were looking straight out of the window......

The bright sun in the sky looks down on the earth, illuminating the entire capital in a transparent and warm manner, including the Shangshu Mansion on Quanyu Street.

"Rustling ......"

The wind blows the trees, and the swaying branches and leaves make a thin friction and collision sound, mixed with the regular brushing sound of the brush.

Next to the stable of Shangshu Mansion, Duanmu Fei is concentrating on brushing the horse, brushing from the horse's back to the horse's belly every time, serious, thoughtful, and careful.

While brushing, she chattered and said, "Shuangxu, my sister will come to accompany you soon, are you happy?" ”

"It's called 'Feipiao', and it's so cute."

"However, he is still young, and now he wants to be with his mother and brother, and in a few months, I will bring it home to accompany you, okay?" 、

Shuangxu's personality is very docile, her tail flicks slightly, and occasionally pushes her arm affectionately with her nose, rubbing her, and the warm snort sprays on Duanmufei's neck, making her a little itchy, and making a crisp laugh like a silver bell.

Bi Cicada helped feed the grass on the side, and said with a smile: "Girl, we are so good!" Slave and maid, behold, among the horses in the house, the best one is frost. ”

That's nature. Duanmu raised his chin complacently, touched Shuangyun's snow-white neck, and praised without hesitation: "Our Shuangxuan is not only well-behaved, but also beautiful!" …… Frost, wait a few days, the weather will be warmer, I'll take you out for spring, okay? ! ”

Shuang Xuan seemed to understand, and her upper lip turned up excitedly, letting out a low hissing sound, and rubbing Duanmu Fei affectionately.

At this moment, the green pothos walked over quickly and said, "Girl, the carriage is ready." ”

This is a very common saying, but for some reason, both the pothos and the cicada feel that the air seems to be cold, and time seems to have stopped.

After Duanmu was silent for two breaths, he answered, and then walked towards Zhanqing Courtyard.

Under the service of the two maids, she changed into an extremely elegant moon-white skirt, only embroidered a few bamboo leaves with silver thread at the corners of the skirt, and simply decorated with moon-white ribbons on the double flat bun.

After changing her clothes, she went out in a carriage and galloped all the way in the direction of the palace.

It's just that what she wants to go to today is not the palace, but Yipinxuan on the royal street.

Today is the day of King Su's execution.

The emperor has already posted the imperial list, listing all kinds of crimes of King Su for collaborating with the enemy and treason, forcing the palace to rebel, and will behead King Su at three o'clock at noon today, so as to make the people angry.

This news has long been spread in the streets and alleys of the capital, although the execution at the noon gate is not allowed to be watched by ordinary people, but even so, it can't stop the enthusiasm of those people, they all came to the nearest royal street from the noon gate to watch the excitement, thinking that even if they take a look at the prisoner car, or can look at the direction of the noon gate from a distance during the execution.

Today's royal streets are bustling and congested.

The cold-faced forbidden army stood guard on both sides of the street in ten steps, clearing a road, and those people either waited directly on the side of the road, or booked a restaurant or teahouse on the side of the road like Duanmufei, and waited in the private seat and lobby.

The whole street was in an uproar, and the windows of the private seats on the second floor of those restaurants and teahouses were open, and many customers were either chatting and laughing inside, or stretching their necks in the direction of the prison of the criminal department.

When Duanmu Fei arrived at Yipinxuan, it was noon.

There was already someone in the elegant seat on the second floor, and a young man in a sky-blue brocade robe was sitting by the window, drinking tea slowly, it was Li Tingyou.

"Cousin." Duanmu called with a smile, but Li Tingyou had a faint expression, and after glancing at her, he looked away, as if to say, you still remember that I am your cousin!

Duanmu Fei immediately understood his eyes, and his little face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

If this was usual, Li Tingyou dared to show her face like this, she would definitely be too lazy to pay attention to it, but she couldn't resist her weakness at the moment.

Yesterday afternoon, when she was in the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, she heard that Anping had returned from the palace, so she went to Yimen to greet her, and then accompanied Anping to Yuhuatang for lunch, completely forgetting to let people inform Li Tingyou, who was still in the stable...... It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Li Tingyou came to Yuhuatang sadly under the guidance of the maid of the princess's mansion, and Duanmu Fei remembered this cousin.

This time it was indeed her fault.

Duanmu cleared his throat, and after thinking about it, he looked at Li Tingyou flatteringly and said, "Cousin You, now that the peach blossoms are blooming, it is a good time to make peach blossom wine......

Li Tingyou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wanted to serve the shelf for a while, but he couldn't resist the wine worm that was aroused, and looked at Duanmu spinelessly, with a high chin, and an expression of "you know what to do".

Duanmu Fei was very acquainted, and continued with a smile: "Cousin You, when I finish brewing, I'll send you two jars, okay?" ”

Li Tingyou finally smiled with satisfaction, and was about to invite Duanmufei to sit down, when he heard Xiao Er's enthusiastic voice outside: "Childe, please here." ”

With a "squeak", the door of the elegant seat was pushed open again, and a young man in a purple silver brocade robe stepped in, his gestures were casual and free, and he was a little bit of the sun's nobility.

"Ah Yan, come and sit!" Li Tingyou smiled brightly at Feng Yan and beckoned him to come and sit down.

Feng Yan smiled at his cousins and sisters, a pair of oblique phoenix eyes were bright and bright, "Tingyou, Duanmu Fourth Girl." He walked to the window and sat down between Duanmufei and Li Tingyou.

This private seat was actually booked by Feng Yan.

Yesterday, before Duanmu Fei and Li Tingyou left the princess's mansion, Feng Yan seemed to inadvertently mention that he had booked a private seat in Yipinxuan, and planned to come here at noon today to watch King Su's execution at noon.

As he expected, as soon as Duanmu Fei heard it, he said that he wanted to come over to "see the excitement", and Li Tingyou thought that King Su almost harmed the Li family, so he also echoed and said that he wanted to come together, so there was an appointment between the three of them today.

The little second-hand foot neatly served tea to several guests, Duanmufei was not in the mood to greet at all, and kept glancing out.

The streets were getting noisier and noisier, and more and more people had come here to see the excitement, and behind those forbidden troops were crowded by thousands of people, almost unable to move an inch.

At the end of last month, when Li Xi escorted King Su into Beijing, the people in Beijing rushed to the south gate to see the excitement at most, and now, with the conviction of King Su, the evidence of the crimes he has committed over the years has been released to the world, and the people know that Pu Guo came to commit it eight years ago, and the reason why Dasheng lost Xizhou and Longzhou in a row is that there is King Su behind it......

When Pu Guo came to invade, although the people of the capital did not suffer from the war, they were worried every day, for fear that Pu Guo would continue to drive straight in, once Qinzhou fell to the enemy, it would be to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains!

At that time, a large number of displaced people from Xizhou and Longzhou poured into the capital, which made the people of the capital panic, and there are still many displaced people who stayed and settled in the capital at that time, and today they all came to watch the execution of King Su.

Thousands of eyes were now staring at the end of the street, and a prisoner car was slowly approaching from the end of the street.

"Look, the prisoner van is coming!"

I don't know who was the first to scream.

Immediately afterwards, everyone else shouted, and the people in the streets below were noisy like the waves of the sea, all shouting "The prisoner car is coming", louder than the last.

Duanmu Fei also looked in the direction of the prisoner car, his eyes slightly downcast.

Suddenly, her eyes widened slightly, and her eyes were stunned to see an elegant figure standing diagonally across the street, standing with her hands in her hands, her gray sideburns fluttering wantonly in the wind......

The outline of the other party's eyebrows, eyes and nose was so familiar to Duanmu Fei that she could draw him exactly the same even if she closed her eyes.

Grandfather!

Duanmu Fei looked at the old lady Chu who was standing quietly on the side of the street without blinking, his eyes were sour. Grandfather is here too!

At this moment, the seat was quiet, only the hustle and bustle outside the street was getting louder and louder, and the three of them had different thoughts and eyes.

Li Tingyou looked at the prisoner car below, Duanmu Fei looked at Old Lady Chu, and Feng Yan was looking at Duanmu Fei, looking at her eyes slightly red, watching a layer of hazy water vapor appear in her eyes, watching her chest rise and fall rapidly, and a thick sadness emanated......

Just looking at his Zhen Zhen like this, Feng Yan felt a burst of distress, as if an invisible palm grabbed his heart, and he didn't notice that the prisoner cart came to the bottom of Yipinxuan under the escort of the forbidden army.

King Su in the prison car was even more embarrassed than when he was escorted into Beijing more than ten days ago, and his whole body was dirty, and he sat in the prison car in despair.

He described his head as frantically holding his head, his body trembling in prison clothes, and muttering, "Impossible...... What went wrong? ”

He was obviously planning step by step and cautious step by step, why did he suddenly come to a desperate situation?!

The noon gate in front of him was getting closer and closer to him...... It was as if a guillotine had hung above his neck, and King Su's body trembled more and more.

Suddenly, he felt a chill in the back of his neck, as if a sharp arrow was aimed at the back of his neck, and his hairs stood on end.

He couldn't help but look back, but a pair of big eyes as pure and cold as ink jade poked out from the window on the second floor, and a strange little face looked at him coldly, which made him feel a piercing chill rise in his heart.

She was......

The thought had just come to mind, "pop", a rotten egg was thrown accurately on his forehead, the shell shattered, and the fishy egg liquid flowed down his forehead.

It's like a signal.

Next, more and more rotten vegetables and rotten fruits flew towards King Su's prisoner car, and King Su could only hold his head and hold his mouth frantically: "Win the king and defeat the king!" Success and defeat ......"

He roared hoarsely, and the shout faded away with the prisoner cart......

When the prisoner cart drove outside the noon gate, the people stopped, and they could no longer advance, and countless forbidden troops blocked the eyes of onlookers.

But everyone still stretched their necks and stared in the direction of the noon gate, and time seemed to slow down several times at this time.

I don't know how long it took, but two cold words came from afar:

"Execution!"

As these two words fell, there seemed to be a solemn atmosphere around them, and the whole street was quiet for a moment, and then it boiled again.

Duanmufei also looked at the direction of the noon gate, as if the dust had settled, as if he was relieved, and as if he had lost his soul......

Suddenly, a white Kong Ming lantern fluttered into Duanmu Fei's field of vision, attracting her attention.

Immediately after that, there was a second lamp, and then a third lamp...... More and more Kong Ming lanterns fluttered with the south wind.

Duanmufei looked down at the street, and saw that almost everyone on this street was holding a white Kong Ming lantern in their hands, and at this moment, they were lighting the candles in each other's lamps, so that the Kong Ming lanterns stumbled and flew up, flying higher and higher, flying farther and farther, floating in the air like the stars in the sky, flashing and flashing......

Duanmu Fei's eyes suddenly had another Kong Ming lantern at her fingertips—this one was sent directly to her by Feng Yan.

Duanmu Fei looked at this Kong Ming lantern in surprise, Feng Yan smiled slightly, and said, "The culprit is subdued, and he should comfort the heroic spirit." ”

Duanmu Fei subconsciously took the Kong Ming lantern, and glanced at the Kong Ming lantern in the hands of the people on the street, and instantly understood that these Kong Ming lanterns should all be put by Feng Yan.

Feng Yan winked at Duanmu Fei, and the smile on his lips became stronger, as if silently confirming her guess.

Sure enough, it's Feng Yan! Duanmufei's eyes were shining, and he also smiled at him, his eyes were as soft as water, and his smile was as bright as stars.

She carefully lit the Kong Ming lantern in her hand, placed it on the window sill, and watched it staggering and flying, and also joined the Kong Ming lantern group with the wind......

Duanmu Fei clasped his hands together, looked up at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, his little face was full of piety, and he said silently to the distant sky:

"Daddy, mother, King Su has subdued the law!"

"Daddy, mother, your souls in the sky should also rest in peace!"

"Daddy, mother, you must bless your brother!"

The corners of Duanmufei's mouth hooked a shallow smile, tranquil, quiet, gentle, and his heart gradually precipitated.

This Kong Ming lantern in the sky is like a galaxy, attracting the people on the street, and also attracting the guests in the elegant seats, including the old lady Chu.

Old lady Chu looked up at the sky, her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes followed the Kong Ming lanterns that were fluttering one after another, and suddenly, his gaze met with Feng Yan in Yipinxuan.

The eyes of the two intersected in mid-air, Feng Yan calmly smiled at the old lady Chu below, and let go of the Kong Ming lantern that had just been lit in his hand, and the Kong Ming lantern quickly flew up from the window slowly......

Old Lady Chu was stunned, her expression was a little complicated, and then she strode in the direction of Yipinxuan.
