Chapter 112: Celebration
Back at Xinglu Courtyard, just after three o'clock, even if it was fireworks Willow Lane, it began to die down.
There are only one or two guests in the lobby who are still drinking, and I am afraid that they are going to get drunk in the hall.
The guests who stayed overnight had already returned to their rooms, the hibiscus tent was warm, and the warm nephrite was gone.
The glamorous atmosphere made both Ming Yi and Hong Yi feel tired, and only Cheng Yan was still full of energy.
Hong Yi asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and called Xing Qing next door to sit down and drink together.
Ming Yi went to Yin's mother's room to report first.
Yin's mother was also very happy to learn that Hong Yi was safe, but as for the cause and effect, she saw that Mingyi didn't want to say more, and she didn't ask anymore.
A few glasses of fruity and tempting liqueur wine, a drawer of steaming cakes, and a lamb soup sprinkled with pepper in your hand, you drank it sweating and refreshing.
When your stomach is comfortable, you can drink it slowly with dried fruits, dried meat, and grilled fish.
Xing Qing heard Chengyan talk about today's events, flying eaves and walking on the wall, how thrilling, and his face was adoring.
Ming Yi admired his acting skills, Cheng Yan bragged casually, he could have stars in his eyes.
Ming Yi was glad that Cheng Yan was not by his side when the young man told what happened, otherwise this talk of the young man's life experience would touch Xing Qing's sadness.
Sure enough, after Cheng Yan finished speaking, Xing Qing asked Mingyi: "Why did the robbers attack the two ladies?" ”
Hong Yi was about to speak, but was kicked under the table by Ming Yi and stopped: "He only said that he wanted to see Xia Niangzi and had an intention for her, and he learned that I and Xia Niangzi had recently gotten close, and wanted to extort double silver from me and Xia Niangzi, and then put forward some non-cent demands on Xia Niangzi." ”
Xing Qing smiled lightly: "Then his luck is really double-bad." The first is to provoke Ming Niangzi, I didn't expect Ming Niangzi to invite a master like Master Chengyan, and the second is to provoke Xia Niangzi, Xia Niangzi is not a vegetarian, I'm afraid he is too long. ”
"Oh? Where did Xia Niangzi come from? Ming Yi wanted to find out how much Xing Qing knew about Xia Huanfeng.
Xing Qing squinted, looking half-drunk: "I know that she is very familiar with the two gangs, and since she has gone deep into the rivers and lakes, her skills should not be bad." ”
Mingyi relieved himself.
Cheng Yan shouted to let Xing Qing play a song, Xing Qing's smile was a little doting, and he went to move the piano. Mingyi didn't know if his eyes were wrong.
The music is moving, chanting and singing, Cheng Yan squinted and shook his head.
Hong Yi was very sleepy, pillowed on Mingyi's shoulder, drowsy.
All this is so peaceful and beautiful, Mingyi's mind is full of today's magnificence, and he naturally can't sleep. But in the sound of the piano, it gradually calmed down, and I felt very satisfied at the moment.
She looked at Xing Qing and felt even more unpredictable about this person.
He touched each other with the sound of the piano, as if his mood was as calm as water. But there is always a haze in his eyes, that kind of bitter hatred, which cannot be forgotten by drunken dreams and death.
Help Hong Yi to the bed, and the mat should be dispersed.
Cheng Yan hurried to leave, saying that the master was still waiting, and although Xing Qing was unhappy, it was not good to force him to stay.
Xing Qinghui glanced at Mingyi in front of his room, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Has Mingyi seen a master recently?" ”
Ming Yi waited for him to ask this sentence, but his heart was a little calmer, and he still couldn't let go: "The master came in a hurry a few days ago, but he didn't have time to see each other. In winter, he will come to Chang'an again, and I will introduce you to him. ”
What Ming Yi thought was that the next time Shi Ruoshan came, he would take advantage of the good things he had with Ayaluo and ask him to calculate a hexagram for Xing Qing.
Xing Qing closed his eyes: "Okay, I've been waiting for so many years, I'm not afraid to wait for three or four months, and I'm tired of it." ”
He held the piano, and bowed deeply.
Mingyi closed the secret door and took a deep breath. There is one more thing that needs to be dealt with.
She also has three gems in her sleeve, which is always a lot of money, and if something happens, it can save her life. Thinking about it, there is only Hong Yi who can hide here.
Shake her awake and think about it together.
After looking around the room, their eyes fell on the rouge gouache on the dresser. The two of them hurriedly wrapped a box of compacted makeup powder in a silk palette, crushed it with a porcelain bottle, hid the gem in the center of the powder, and then sprayed some wine on the powder, kneaded it into a ball, placed it in a window, and let it dry.
When they were done, the two were exhausted. Everything, let's talk about it when we wake up.
After only sleeping for two hours, Mingyi woke up and needed to hurry to pack up.
Hong Yi was still sleeping like a child, and her wrists still had traces of binding, which was shocking to look at. The powder on the windowsill has been formed, and no one would have thought that there are three priceless gems pressed on it. Place the powder in an inconspicuous corner of the table, the safest place is the most dangerous.
didn't want to bother Yin's mother anymore, so she deliberately got up early and walked back to the old house. They arrived around the same time as Shingoro, and then asked Gorou to take her to Nishiichi on horseback.
Rong Yifang has not yet opened, she asked Gorou to go back first, and she guarded the door, hoping to wait for Xia Huanfeng as soon as possible.
When noon came, Rong Yifang finally began to receive guests, and when the account room saw her coming, he hurriedly welcomed her in, poured tea and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, she heard the neighing of horses at the door, and when she looked back, it was really very eye-catching.
Xia Huanfeng was dressed in purple, wearing a gauze hat on his head, riding on a snow-white horse, his clothes fluttering, like a celestial.
Xia Huanfeng handed the horse to the little servant, took off the yarn hat, and came over with a smile: "Looking at Mingyi's face, the matter should be resolved?" ”
"How did Xia Niangzi know?" Mingyi asked.
"I still have some eyeliner in the city, and when I heard Liu Senjun go around looking for people in the rivers and lakes to inquire about the whereabouts of the teacher's wife, I knew that something must have happened. Shi Niangzi had something to do, and Ming Niangzi must have been anxious, so I rushed back overnight. Xia Huanfeng seemed to be a little tired, so he took the teacup and drank it all.
Mingyi was still happy for Hong Yi in his heart, Xia Huanfeng didn't say anything, he was willing to rush back overnight, saying that for Mingyi, he was just selling favors, and I was afraid that he was more worried about Hong Yi's safety.
"She's fine, she's resting in Xinglu Courtyard now, if you have the heart, just go and visit her in the evening." Ming Yi said casually, feeling that something was wrong, "Of course, it's the same to invite the master and lady to drink together tomorrow." ”
Xia Huanfeng sat down: "Who did it?" ”
Ming Yi didn't bother to waste his words here: "I have asked my friends to guard the robbers, not far from Xishi, I'll take you with me." It's complicated, and I'm afraid I can't explain it for a while. ”
Xia Huanfeng nodded, asked the little maid to lead the horse, and rode away with Mingyi.
The road in Chang'an is regular, and it is not difficult to find the room last night. The knife on the door was especially sharp, and it was only in the light of day that the dagger had been plunged deep into the opposite wall.
Xia Huanfeng looked at the dagger and said with a smile: "This should be done by your friend, congratulations to Ming Niangzi for having this master as a friend, I'm afraid that my skills are higher than mine." ”
Mingyi didn't bother to explain and knocked on the door.
It is the idiom that answers the door.
Ming Yi asked softly, "What about your master?" ”
Cheng Yan opened the door and let the two in: "Master left early in the morning, let me watch here." ”
If Ming Yi's heart was lost, it was not easy to attack: "Please bring the deputy hall master first." ”
Xia Huanfeng looked puzzled, and Ming Yi explained: "This is the helper found by the mastermind, and it is the deputy hall master of the Peach Seven Gang in Chang'an Xintangkou, I think it is better for you to handle it." ”
Xia Huanfeng was overjoyed: "This is a great thing. ”
