Su Zimei and Wen Yanbo discussed for a while, Wen Yanbo went first, Su Zimei sent Yizhi back to Yan Mansion, the two of them first went to Qingming Courtyard to tell Yan Shu about the matter, Yan Shu listened, at first a little annoyed, and after a long time he calmed down, and for a while he was worried about Fu Liangbi, and ordered the kitchen to make a sobering soup and sent Jiang's mother to take care of it with a few powerful female envoys, and told him to cultivate well, and he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore. Subsequently, he asked a lot of details, thought about it, and felt that Wen Yanbo's method could be tried, and mentioned some shortcomings, Su Zimei went, Yan Shu thought for a moment, while letting Yizhi not worry too much, go back to the courtyard first, and on the other hand, he instructed Yan Rong to set up a car and go to another Zaifu, Li Gong's house.

Yizhi had to go back to the hospital first to wait for the news, and felt more and more bored in his heart, seeing the calligraphy on the bookcase, the tracing paper was still spread, the pen on the pen holder was also hard, and the ink in the inkstone was also dry.

Xing'er argued with her and said: "The girl is considerate of me, the family has gone to the pulp washing woman for several times, and has not recruited the right one, these days it has gradually warmed up, the mattress quilt is all to be unloaded and washed, paved and dried, and then replaced with a new one, I am busy not doing it, the girl shouted to practice calligraphy, I have to dry my hands and take the word book and grind, the Fan family girl came, the girl shouted sencha, I want to go to sencha again, and finally sent away your two grandmothers, Jiang's mother thought I was lazy, and the pulp was slow, I was so easy to satisfy her, the girl came back again, and I didn't clean up. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Yizhi felt a little more guilty in his heart, hurriedly persuaded a few words, and said: "I met something, my mood was not smooth, and it affected you, is it mine, will I make a cup of Qibao tea for you to eat." ”

Xing'er stopped at this time and said: "Why is the girl not smooth, is it related to Brother Bi, I see that you were wrong last night, it is different from usual." ”

Remembering for a long time, but didn't speak, Xing'er continued: "Anyway, as long as the big official orders, Brother Bi will definitely do it, if I am a girl, just relax and eat and drink, and wait for that day to come." Remembering is inevitably a little more lonely, busy and cheering up.

Xing'er didn't know what to do, glanced at the bookcase, and asked, "Girl, are you still writing?" ”

Yizhi thought for a moment and said, "Write." ”

The apricots were busy grinding again, and the pen was washed.

He also said that Jiang's mother took a few powerful servants to take care of Fu Liangbi, who was drunk by Lu Gongbi, and when she returned in the evening, she was a little relieved, and privately ordered Xing'er to investigate, Xing'er went for a while, and returned to the way of Tongyi: "Listening to Jiang's mother, I vomited a few times, and there was no big problem, and later said that when they arrived, the big girl in my brother's house was scolding with Mrs. Zhengtou's money, and the little girl didn't listen, and my brother was uncomfortable. After calling Jiang's mother, she was reluctant to leave, and talked back to Jiang's mother, saying that the two families had not yet become a family, so there was no need to rush to give orders, which made Jiang's mother angry. Xing'er was disciplined very tightly by Jiang's mother in the past day, and her heart was inevitably depressed.

Yizhi frowned and said: "Brother Liangbi's family is not just a kid, a cook, when did two more girls come?" ”

"Some time ago, didn't the eldest aunt and second aunt of Brother Bi'er's hometown come, as if they were hired at that time, I guess they didn't leave."

Yi Zhi Nahan said: "It stands to reason that the aunts and aunts of Brother Bi'er's family are all members of the Zhuang family, and he is a person who knows etiquette and abides by his duties, where to hire two more girls, what else is there here, have you heard what my mother said?" ”

Xing'er said: "Mrs. said the same thing, after thinking about it, I decided to go tomorrow." ”

Yizhi was out of his mind for a long time, and asked his father if he had come back, Xing'er shook her head, and Yizhi was inevitably uneasy, and she was stunned for a while, and she didn't make a sound. After listening to Xing'er's persuasion, I didn't want her to worry, so I had to sleep first.

Xing'er saw Yizhi lying down, hurriedly tucked the quilt for her, took a full breath, blew out the oil lamp, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

Yizhi listened to Xing'er walking away, only then opened his eyes, his eyes were stunned and he looked at the embroidered tent, and there was a burst of crankiness in his heart, thinking of himself for a while, his father and brother were running for themselves, and Wen Yanbo was involved. When I thought of Fu Liangbi for a while, I felt distressed.

After thinking about it, I couldn't sleep all night, and I didn't know if I was asleep or not, so I simply got up and practiced calligraphy, and wrote one after another, until my hands trembled, and I couldn't write a word again, so I put down the pen.

She repeatedly recited a passage from the "Orchid Pavilion Prelude": "The appearance of the lady is the same, and the admiration is the same." or take all the embrace, and realize the words in a room; Or because of the entrustment, outside the wreckage. Although the interest is different, the restlessness is different, when it is happy with what it encounters, it is temporarily self-sufficient, and it does not know that old age is coming; and what they are tired, their feelings change with things, and their feelings are related. To the admiration, between the pitch, has been a trace, still can not help but to rejoice, the situation is short, the end of the end! The ancients said: "Death and life are also important." "Isn't it painful!"

Suddenly, there were a lot of emotions. I am fortunate to be born in such a family, my parents are generous and loving, and they have been carefree since childhood. Cheng Ri is happy with what he encounters, temporarily gains his own, and is happy and self-sufficient. Even when he was tired, he was looking for a new love, but he didn't realize that he had wasted time and did nothing in his life.

Memories stretched out his hands and stared. I thought to myself, what am I living for?

She looked behind her and saw that the windows were tightly closed, and the paper on the window gradually penetrated into the clear light. I could hear the sound of many yellow finches on the bamboo branches, chirping and chirping. There was a stumble in the courtyard, and someone lowered his voice to speak.

Yizhi suddenly felt a little tired, so he got up and went to lie on the bed, and fell asleep hazy, and when he woke up again, he opened the embroidery tent to see, it was already afternoon, the house was full of golden sun, and the memory was called Xing'er, the little girl Rui'er heard the sound and entered the house, saying that Mei Ge'er sent Su Fulai, and talked with Xing'er at the North Corner Gate, Yizhi was busy getting up, Rui'er combed her clothes and combed her bun, but her hands and feet were clumsy, and she would get this place and hurt that place for a while, and she was trembling for a while, and the more she panicked, the more she panicked.

After a while, Xing'er came back, Rui'er hurriedly retreated, Yizhi asked tightly, Xing'er picked up the comb to comb Yizhi's hair, and said: "Su Fu said, Mei Ge'er said, so that the girl can relax, this matter has become seven or eight points." ”

Yizhi was a little relieved, laughed, thought about it a little more, and said: "After a while, you go and ask Li Ping to send a message to your cousin, just say that the palace commander and the Liu family brothers and sisters invite me to go hunting in the suburbs in three days, and invite the two brothers to go with me, I will prepare tea, rice and fruits, which can be regarded as thanking the two brothers, and also asking the two brothers to appreciate the light." ”

Xing'er went to comb the bun for Yizhi, and Yizhi inquired and learned that everyone was not at home, so he was anxious for a while, picked up a few perilla plum slices to eat, ate a piece, felt sweet and sour, and ate a few slices in a row, and suddenly his appetite was great, so he sent someone to order the kitchen to make a bowl of cold noodles to eat.

After a while, a bowl of cold dough mixed with cucumber shreds, bean skin, spicy seed oil, garlic juice, minced green onions, and secret sour soup was presented.

One accidentally, the chili oil splashed on the corner of her mouth, she wiped it off with the tip of her middle finger, wiped it on the towel, and looked down at her chest, just at this moment, Xing'er came back, saw the cold dough at a glance, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and said: "Li Ping came back and said, Mei Ge'er said that he could go, but Xiaowen Erguan seemed to have something to do, and he probably couldn't go." ”

Yizhi said: "Actually, the most thankful thing is that the second brother Wen is, but he is not available." Picking up a chopstick dough and holding it with her left hand to give it to Xing'er, Xing'er hurriedly raised her head and opened her mouth to greet her, chewing, laughing, and said vaguely: "That's right, Xiaowen Erguan doesn't go, but it's boring." ”

Yizhi took a bite of cucumber shreds dipped in chili oil, and when he heard this, he squinted his eyes to look at Xing'er, and teased: "Why doesn't he go, he's bored." Xing'er snorted and said, "Girl, why don't you understand, this trip to the suburbs to hunt, now it's hot, our family brings a cook, can the Wen family bring it?" Saying that, Chong Yizhi pinched his eyes and said: "Wen family cook, that craftsmanship must be extraordinary." ”

When Yizhi heard this, his heart was tickled as if he had been teased by a goose feather duster, and he couldn't help but yearn for it, and sighed: "Yes, thinking about it like this, if Second Brother Wen doesn't go, he will indeed be bored." Then he had an idea, put down his toothbrush, took the scented flower note, took the pen and considered it for a moment, and wrote down the small character of Wen Yanbo, Kuanfu, and after writing the last stroke of the husband's word, Sheng Yuzhen's face flashed in his heart, and then put down the pen again, and said: "It's not appropriate." ”

Xing'er came over with the cold dough and ate it, she looked at the words on the flower note, and said, "It's very well written, what's wrong?" After speaking, he took another chopstick and sent it to his mouth.

Yizhi said: "It's better to talk to my cousin, ask him to spend some time, it's best to invite the second brother above, it's really not good, I won't write the flower note." Xing'er said: "Why don't you write it, in this way, isn't it in vain to waste this piece of paper, but you can get a few pennies, and the girl has smoked incense with her own hands." ”

Remembering the way: "You forgot, the second brother Wen and the eldest girl of the Sheng family are discussing marriage, whether it is successful or not, I have to avoid suspicion." Xing'er nodded and said, "That's right." He sighed and took a big bite. Yizhi looked at the noodle bowl that had bottomed out, and glanced at Xing'er unhappily.

In the evening, Yizhi heard that the Su family had returned home from Fu Liangbi's official residence, so he went to the main courtyard.

At that time, Su Shi was talking to Jiang's mother in Baoxia, and was saying: "I'm sorry for you for the past two days, the two mansions have been running back and forth, waiting for Brother Bi'er ......to move in." Seeing that Yizhi crossed the threshold, he also sighed, and said to Yizhi: "You are finally willing to get up." ”

Yizhi grinned and went up to be coquettish, Su's mouth teased, but he felt sorry for Yizhi in his heart, let her hold him, and said: "My family doesn't have the rules of the morning and dusk, but my daughter will not be like the lazy woman in the neighborhood, standing up in bed all day long, and when she is hungry, the restaurant maid will bring food, and then throw the clothes to the pulp washing woman." Su Shi smiled and said, "I went to your house at noon to take a look, but you stayed awake all night and practiced calligraphy all night." ”

Seeing that Yizhi blushed, he smiled and said: "What's the big deal, I can't sleep, what can I do in the future." ”

Remembering the coquettishness, and asked about the news of Fu Liangbi, Su sighed, and said: "When I went at noon, I saw that Brother Bi'er's little face was yellow, and he was unconscious, just this, he was still dealing with the case, saying that the group of thieves who stole his daughter and children in the 'Ghost Fan Building' came out to commit the crime again, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, I saw him working like this, but there was only a bowl of cold wheat porridge in front of the case, and I sat for a long time, and I didn't even have a cup of tea. ”

Yi Zhi was distressed, and said softly: "What's going on? ”

He told me that the big girl was his eldest aunt's daughter, and the little girl was from the second aunt's family. Brother Bi didn't think much about it, so he let him stay, he just went out early and returned late as usual, because you also played when you were young, so you didn't care much, the two cousins were too intimate, and when they sent someone under the fence, they were uneasy, just avoided it. Later, he found out that something was wrong, but he didn't know what to do, and he was a cousin, and he couldn't discuss it with anyone. When I saw me today, my face turned red, and I was ashamed, saying that I couldn't handle anything at all. Saying that, Su Shi shook his head with a smile, and continued: "This Brother Bi, it's okay anywhere, it's this heart, and it's more sincere." He laughed again: "If it weren't for the jealousy of the two girls yesterday, they quarreled first, and Mother Jiang rushed behind again, I'm afraid she would have succeeded." ”

Yizhi was already stunned, and sighed suspiciously, and after thinking about it for a while, his face flushed, and he was dumbfounded: "And, there's more, like this!" Su Shi glanced at Yi Yi and said angrily: "What do you think?" ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time and said, "How can this be." ”

Su Shi laughed and asked rhetorically, "Don't worry about other people, you might as well think about how this is good?" Seeing that she was stunned, she straightened her clothes again, straightened her back, and said: "You, you have a smooth life, and you will inevitably be deaf and blind, but how can your father and mother protect you for the rest of your life." You're also older, it's time to go through the experience, and now that you have ready-made, you simply take out what I taught you in the past and deal with it. I don't want you to be rich and rich, how much future you have in the future, I just hope that you can continue to go smoothly, we don't hurt others, but we can't hurt others, you understand. ”

Yizhi was embarrassed and said: "Mother, you know me, I am most tired of these intrigues in the inner curtain. ”

Su Shi said: "That's your brother Liangbi, you don't care?" ”

Remembering the way: "If it were other brothers, I would naturally help, but it was Brother Liangbi, and I couldn't care." ”

Su Shi smiled and asked, "Oh, why?" ”

Yizhi thought for a moment, and said softly: "Mother, this is the matter of Brother Liangbi's inner courtyard, I am a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, how can I meddle in it." It is a well-known secret that my father intended to marry me to him. If I take care of it, I will not sit down on the marriage. Those two are his relatives, and they are handled well or badly, involving a wide range of people, in short, they want to offend people, and they don't have a reputation for being mean and intolerable. There is also a saying that if he thinks that he is a relative, he should do everything, but he does not distinguish between what is worth helping and what is not, then how much thought will he have to spend on these pickled things in the days to come. When the time comes, no matter how loving the feelings are, they will be worn away. As he spoke, he smiled slyly and said, "You think this is an opportunity to temper me, but I feel that this is an opportunity to temper him." ”

Su Shi and Jiang's mother looked at each other and smiled, and looked at Yizhi with loving eyes, but they said in their mouths: "You monkey spirit, but you have left yourself clean." ”

Yizhi said with a smile: "He is a criminal officer, he just wants to deal with all kinds of people, he can't see through such a trick, he can't deal with it, so what should he be a criminal officer." As he spoke, he smiled and hugged Su. Su Shi didn't hear it clearly, but blindly felt that her daughter was smart and obedient like her husband, and she was relieved and happy, and her love for her was a little deeper.

The mother and daughter gossiped again, and when they saw that their father had not returned for a long time, Su was tired again, so he retired and returned to his own small courtyard, because he slept until the afternoon before waking up, he was not tired at the moment, so he played a swing in the courtyard for a while, and saw Xing'er yawning for a while, so he went back to the house, let Xing'er sleep first, and found a book to read.

Yizhi sat in front of the desk, the gauze lamp illuminated a corner of the place in front of her, she listened to the sound of the apricot snorting in and out of the blue gauze cupboard, and felt that everything was quiet, so she was ready to concentrate, only to read the ugly rooster crow, only to feel slightly dizzy, so she climbed into bed and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already early days, and he freshened up a little and went to the front yard.

When he arrived, there was no one in the courtyard, and he looked around, and saw Fu Liangbi's former room, the door was wide open, and through the window, he saw his hands propped up on the case, facing a book of papers, frowning, and looking at the ground. Yizhi didn't know whether to disturb or not, so he quietly walked towards him. When Fu Liangbi heard the movement, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Yizhi, he laughed and said, "Why did you come here so quietly, could it be that you are planning to scare me?" ”

Yi Yi walked into the house, and said with a smile: "I heard that my mother said that you have been very busy lately, I was afraid of disturbing you, but you thought of me in a bad way, and I really should be beaten." Fu Liangbi smiled, lowered his head again, and said, "Eventful, really eventful." ”

Remembering that his complexion has not fully recovered, his eyes are swollen and his muscles are floating, he is very tired, and when he can't bear it, he suddenly sees two line drawings hanging on the wall, one on the top and one on the bottom, the one above is Bianliang City, the shop is a wine shop and a fence tile house, the bridge deck and road are all named and surnamed, and the red sand is used to mark the red cross in several places, and the one below is a huge underground ditch under Bianliang City, also known as the ghost fan building, the underground city of the ghost fan building, but there are many places to moisten and delete, and there are a few places that are blurred.

Remembering the two pictures up and down, looking at them one by one, remembering that under the streets and alleys where he had visited in the past, there was another world, and thinking of the woman who was walking under the Lang Lang Qiankun, childish, negligently, the world was turned upside down, and what should be the encounter in this dark underground city, I didn't feel that my heart was trembling, so I looked at Fu Liangbi and asked: "Brother Liangbi, these places marked with red sand, but the place where the gang of thieves kidnapped?" ”

Fu Liangbi nodded and said, "There are a huge number of bandits, and they commit crimes separately, regardless of day and night, as long as they are alone, it is very dangerous. These places are the places where they often commit crimes. ”

Yizhi was a little uneasy, pointed to a few streets and alleys and said: "I have been to these places often, and I have been alone, but I have not encountered anything sinister. ”

Fu Liangbi said: "They only kidnap the daughters and children of poor families, and they do not mess with the wealth and wealth of eunuchs. He also often honors the powerful in the public and keeps talismans all over his body. The captive daughters and children, once they enter the Ghost Fan Tower, are completely gone. If they want to be strictly investigated, they will hide in the ground, and when the limelight passes, they can make a comeback. ”

Yizhi's eyes widened slightly, and he asked, "Can you find out who the powerful people are?" ”

Fu Liangbi's face was gloomy like water, he didn't say anything, his eyes flickered, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "You have already found ......" and his heart was beating again, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Liangbi, you have a shallow foundation, and you are weak......"

Fu Liangbi frowned and said: "Remember, those women are all from good families, and they can spend their lives in peace." But once it fell, it fell into a quagmire. He paused, lowered his eyes, choked up, and said, "In the dark river, the corpses of some women often rush out, and some are infected with dirty diseases and rotten flesh. Some were not beaten to death, while others were humiliated to death, and there was hardly a piece of good meat. Every time I see you, I think of you, but this thought is like a thousand arrows. Thinking of the families of those women, what will happen when they see their daughters, sisters, and wives like this? Those who are dead are dying restlessly, and those who are alive are restless. ”

Remembering it like a fish in the throat, the beard was momentary, the eyes were hot, the nasal cavity was sore, and said: "I can't, I can't watch you risk yourself." ”

Fu Liangbi smiled freely and said: "Remember, what do people want to live? Doing nothing is a life, merit is a life, wealth and glory is a life, and idle travel is a life. How fast time passes, I don't want to regret when I look back on the past in my twilight years, I am a desperate family, I have no parents, no wife and children, who else can I be? With me alone, even if I save ten people, if I can get lucky enough to save more, or even use my life to exchange the court's attention to this matter and save thousands of women from fire and water, it is worth it! ”

Remembering it was like a scorching thunder, stunned for a long time, thinking about it, and also being infected, I unconsciously gave birth to a heroic righteousness in my heart, and I could face the world directly. I have more respect for Fu Liangbi and feel a little closer. She said, "I understand your righteousness." I can't help you with things out there. The things in it can share your worries for you. ”
