Xiao Maozi was pregnant with a ghost fetus and followed Zhang Wanqiang to meet Aunt Su Mala. After the person went, he checked the tea utensils, and saw that the Jun porcelain bowl was still in the tea set cabinet, but somehow it was stacked with other tea sets. This shows that Su Malagu saw the bowl. He touched the thing, but he couldn't guess why she didn't expose it to her face. Su Malagu is a big celebrity who is the emperor and the queen mother, why should she protect him?

He carefully reviewed the situation at that time and concluded that Su Malagu had a gap with Nemo. Ah San had already been arrested before the search, and after the search, if he shouted out again, wouldn't he slap his own face? Thinking of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at Zhang Wanqiang, he had a blank face and no expression.

Aunt Su Mala was waiting in the wing room of the East Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace. As soon as the little hairy man entered here, his eyes were full of gold and brightness, and a few tall and thick candles were bubbling in the hood, and Su Malagu was sitting and eating tea in the middle. Xiao Maozi hurriedly slapped Qian'er and said: "The little one is guilty, the big sister is blessed, please forgive me this time!" After saying that, he didn't get up, and the other leg also knelt down.

"It's easy to spare you." Su Malagu didn't seem to pay much attention, and asked slowly while drinking tea, "You just told the truth, what are you doing when you steal that bowl?" ”

"I want to ......," he snorted, and suddenly smiled, "I see that bowl is really good-looking, take it and take a look, and then secretly send it back, I don't want to use it as a thief, I lose the protection of my big sister, otherwise I will be a little good-looking!" ”

Su Malagu didn't expect this little ghost to even pull herself in, she felt angry and funny, and sneered: "You are too smart, look at my good nature, can't you fix your little hair?" ”

Xiao Maozi's eyes rolled around, and he smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to bully you if I have the courage to fight!" I really wanted to see it and sent it back. They opened their mouths and said to steal, how can I recognize the name of the thief......"

"Zhang Wanqiang!" Aunt Su Mala didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then called, "Take him to the worship room to find Lao Zhao, I'm too lazy to listen to his nonsense!" ”

"Hey, don't...... Xiao Maozi said honestly...... "Xiao Maozi panicked at this time, and was busy kowtowing like pounding garlic, "It's the little poor who is extremely helpless, and he takes this bowl and wants to go out to get a few dollars to pay off his debts......" He looked up and saw Su Malagu's face, he didn't seem to believe it, and hurriedly continued, "...... The little mother is a blind mother-in-law, and she doesn't even have money for medicine for a day. The eldest brother married a sister-in-law and was ruthless, and he didn't care about the family at all. People are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and hairy, and they have no choice but to do this kind of thing. As he spoke, he touched a dull pain, his eyes were not red, and he wiped his tears with his sleeves, "Sister Su refused to spare me, and I also admitted it, who called us cheap, only pity my mother......" Speaking of this, he choked and didn't say any more.

"It's one thing, it's over!" Su Malagu is a kind person who believes in Buddhism, and when she heard him say it, she was sad and unmoved. After thinking about it, he changed his smile again, "You have a problem, go to Xiao Weizi, he won't help you?" ”

"Lord Wei has helped me a lot," Xiao Maozi said with a sad face, "It's just that I have spoken too many times, and I am embarrassed." ”

"Take it!" Su Malagu took out a silver ingot from the table drawer and threw it to Xiao Maozi, "Take this, it's hard for you to still be a filial son, I don't know!" Isn't it better to reward this money for your mother's treatment, and then buy some food, than to be a thief? - I heard that you are a good material for gambling money, but don't use it to gamble and lose again! ”

Xiao Maozi never expected such a result, he couldn't help but be stunned, holding the silver in a daze, kowtowing for a while, and sobbing and saying: "The small gambling money is real, but it is also out of helplessness, just two and a half months of money, what is it enough for?" It's just a little clever, and a few people who win subsidize the family, but a horse lost its hooves and even got into it. Since Sister loves me so much, and there is a conscience of heaven and earth, do I dare to do it again? ”

"No wonder you," Su Mala sighed with compassion for others and herself, "It's not easy to be a man. I won't increase your monthly rate, if you have any difficulties, just come to me to get it, and I will fulfill your filial piety. Xiao Maozi was overjoyed by the blessing of misfortune, so he kowtowed and said, "You treat me like this, what do you want me to do?" From now on, I'll call you aunt! ”

Aunt Su Mala had nothing to answer, but smiled and agreed. Zhang Wanqiang saw that this monkey cub was so good at climbing poles, and couldn't help laughing: "You are so blessed, I didn't bring you here, you can get this lottery!" What will you give me thanks? Xiao Maozi burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "You are not rare money, I will kowtow to you to thank you!" Su Malagu and Zhang Wanqiang couldn't help but laugh again.

Xiao Maozi resigned, walked to the hanging flower gate at the entrance of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and saw Kangxi coming in in in civilian clothes, and hurriedly stood beside the road with his hands bowed. That Kangxi didn't know him, and with a wave of his hand, he entered the East Pavilion wing to find Aunt Su Mala. Xiao Maozi slipped back to the tea room to dispose of the bowl. Su Malagu had already left her seat and bowed down to take over.

Kangxi stepped in the door and said with a smile: "Today, I missed you, and I missed a small group of heroes!" Don't listen to Xiao Weizi singing! ”

Aunt Su Mala smiled and said: "Which way am I an immortal, can I go on stage with my master?" What song are you singing? ”

"I'll tell you!" Kangxi triumphantly recited the song sung by Wei Dongting.

Su Malagu muttered: "I don't know what about the surname Sun? ”

"They all expressed their loyalty," Kangxi said excitedly, "I didn't expect them to be so united." It's just that it's not good for me to negotiate with them at this time, so I'd better let them make a fuss. Tell you, there is another one named Liu Hua who also went tonight, is it Goshha from Aofu, or is it a pen post, I don't know much, Xiao Weizi is still working hard to do errands below. ”

Aunt Su Mala was speechless when she heard this, and said with a smile for a while: "Long live the Lord went out to chant poetry tonight, I didn't know that there was news in the palace!" I'm also biased to live the Lord! ”

Kangxi smiled and asked, "What news, so happy?" ”

"The eunuch Xiao Maozi in the teahouse—the one he met when he came in—made the Nemo guard very embarrassed." Su Malagu laughed while comparing paintings, and told Kangxi the story of the imperial tea storehouse. Kangxi smiled and stumbled: "The people who are victimized by Ao worship should take care of it." It's good that you have hidden the stolen goods for others, and you have become an aunt again! The two talked and laughed for a while, and Aunt Su Mala served Kangxi to rest.

Liu Jinbiao has been on the order of Bamburshan to keep an eye on the tip of the pearl in the area of Jiaxing Building for more than a month. When He Guizhu was kidnapped, he met Wei Dongting in Weizi Hutong, and one of his eyeballs was pulled out by a donkey. After that, he had no orders, and every day he brought his own servants to wander around the streets, hoping to find He Guizhu or Mingzhu, no matter which one he caught, he would breathe out first, but these two people disappeared like ghosts. Wei Dongting is common, but he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he is a third-class shrimp when he enters the palace, and he sits on a horse when he leaves the palace. Since his martial arts are inferior to him, if he really starts, he will definitely suffer. This risk is not to be taken on.

It's also a coincidence, the former child was eating wine at Lao Huang's house in the Internal Affairs House, and I heard that although Jiaxinglou never accepts guests, but the Cui Gu there has recently gotten along with a little white face, and said that someone had seen this little white face in front of the emperor in the palace, and he fell in love. Ban Bushan once instructed him that whether it was Wu Ciyou, Mingzhu, Mu Zixu and a few of them, as long as they could catch one quietly, they would be considered meritorious, so he went to the vicinity of Jiaxing Building to keep watch, but more than a month passed, and he didn't even see a shadow.

Shen Pai was about to pass, seeing Jin Wuxi falling, the burning clouds had been dyed red for a long time, and he didn't see a fish enter the net, he was very sad in his heart, and secretly scolded: "Lao Huang's words don't know if it's true, or drink wine and talk nonsense, so that the old man waits for the rabbit!" I was feeling uncomfortable, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and the pearl shook three times, and it really came. He was afraid that he would be dazzled, so he wiped it and looked at it carefully, and the person who came was wearing a dark lake silk robe, with a white skin, and a long braid of oil and black that dragged straight behind his head. "A man wants to be pretty, a soap", not fake at all, really elegant and dignified - it is the pearl that will not be wrong! Liu Jinbiao said secretly: "Okay! Staring at Mingzhu and entering the door and going upstairs, he waved his hand and called for the people to go back and move people.

But it showed that Zhu Fang went upstairs, and outside the lattice window, he heard someone talking in the house. When I listened carefully, it was like the voice of Hu Gongshan in the Tai Hospital.

"Aunt Cui, do you know? Gu Huafeng, You Cheng'an, and Chen Qinian were not patient with the loneliness of the mountains and forests, and they traveled to Beijing! ”

"A decree will descend for nine days, and Yiqi will go down to Shouyang Mountain!" The room was quiet for a long time before Cuigu sneered, "If you want to go down the mountain, just go down, why bother to pull others?" ”

"Whew! As soon as you speak, you twist up, and I didn't say I was going down, but I was going up! ”

Mingzhu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what these thoughtless words meant, but he felt very important. Hearing that Cuigu and Hu were so close to each other, I was a little jealous. Xuan laughed at himself again: "What's wrong with me, although I bought an estate for her, I didn't buy her person, and the surname Hu naturally came!" As she listened intently, Cuigu said:

"Go up the mountain, what are you doing up the mountain?"

"Seeing that things can't be done, I still go up the mountain to be my Taoist priest, will you also go to be a Taoist girl?"

"Take your stinky beauty!" Cui Gu chirped, "Are you looking at me so easily to be a Dao aunt?" ”

When Mingzhu heard this, he didn't have time to think about it, covered his mouth and smiled and said loudly: "Okay! One wants to be a Taoist priest, and the other refuses to be a Taoist aunt, it's really embarrassing! ”

Hu Gongshan and Cuigu were startled when someone overheard, and when they hurriedly opened the door and came out to see, they saw that it was Mingzhu, and they didn't know when he arrived and how much they listened. Mingzhu didn't mind, and said with a grin: "It's Yiqi down to Shouyang again, and it's up the mountain to be a Taoist priest." - And no one persecuted the two, so why did they flee in the wilderness? With that, he entered the house, sat down with his ass, and looked at the two of them with a fan and the back of his hand.

Aunt Cui poured a cup of tea and served it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ming is a rare guest, but he hasn't been here for some days." Hu Gongshan also smiled: "Our brother and sister became Taoist priests and Taoist aunts, sprinkled and swept the court, and once became a high-ranking official, it is better to go to Xiaoguan to find a half-day leisure!" After speaking, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

After talking for a while, Hu Gongshan got up and said goodbye. Cui Gu knew that he was inconvenient, and she didn't stay with him, so she immediately stepped back when she was sent out, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to come to my place to hang out today?" ”

Mingzhu didn't answer, frowned and asked, "Since you are good friends with this Brother Hu, why don't you refuse to be good?" ”

"With him? He thought, but he had to be consensual! Cui Gu said simply, seeing Mingzhu in a daze, she reached out and tapped his head, "Jealous?" Fool, he's my godbrother! ”

Mingzhu was silent, pondering their conversation, and asked, "What Gu Huafeng, You Cheng'an, and Chen Qinian, it seems that the names of several people, I didn't understand it." ”

Cui Gu was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed for a while, and covered her chest with her hands with a smile, "You are so clever that you heard it!" Wuhua Peak has a penitentiary hermitage, his young master Chen Qinian is cultivating there, he wants to hang up the crown and return to the mountain, and ask me to go to his master with him......" Speaking of this, she was already a little out of breath laughing.

"If you are a good official, why do you suddenly want to go into hiding?"

"That's your man's business, how do I know?" Cuigu smiled, "I always think the black yarn hat is a little small!" ”

"His surname is Hu, your surname is Wu, why are you brother and sister again?"

"Well," Cuigu sighed, smiling, "it's a long story, he has a crush on me, and he saved my life...... Later, I recognized my godbrother and sister - I will tell you in detail when I have time in the future. ”

Mingzhu was relieved at the moment, and it was funny to think that she had misheard a series of names. Cui Gu wanted to divert his thoughts, turned back into the inner room and took out a Yaoqin, put it on a few days, lit incense and said: "You come to play a song, I got a few new poems, can I sing them to you?" ”

"Don't be busy yet," Mingzhu said with a smile, "I also got a poem by Mr. Wu today, take it for you to see, do you think it's good?" ”

Cui Gu walked over with a smile and said, "It must be good." When I took it, it was a palindromic poem:

Leaning on the mountain pavilion to look at the return of geese, thinking about the clouds.

It is easy to scratch the white head when stepping on the green, and the crow is cold and cold in autumn.

Then he smiled and said, "I am reading the nostalgia, but I am reading the nostalgia, and the writing is really good!" ”

Mingzhu took his hands, straightened his clothes, sat with bated breath, and wiped the strings. Cui Gu listened to "Deep Night", and when she passed the door, she suddenly opened her singing voice and sang Wu Ciyou's poem. At the end of the song, the two looked at each other and smiled. Mingzhu suddenly pressed the strings and smiled: "It's time to listen to you." Then she changed the tone of "Lu Shangyue", and Cuigu said, "Okay!" "Sing softly:

The new green is growing and the remnants are red, and the beauties are stained with tears.

Butterflies don't care whether they return in spring or not, they only fly to the depths of the yellow flowers......

Mingzhu couldn't help but be stunned, stopped and asked, "What are you singing?" ”

"You just have to play yours, and there are four more!" Cui Gu Fang wanted to continue singing, but seeing Mingzhu's strange expression, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I've seen this poem, and I know the remaining four." Mingzhu said, "Where did you get it?" ”

"Boom!" Cui Gu smiled, "Who believes you?" ”

Mingzhu sneered: "Don't believe it? You listen - the swallows of the Six Dynasties have been blooming every year, and the flowers on the side of the Vermilion Bird Bridge do not bloom, so there is no need to ask Wang Xie melancholy, has Liu Lang ever returned when he is gone--but is it? ”

Cuigu's expression immediately changed greatly, her body seemed to have been hit hard, she staggered, sat back in her chair and said, "You know everything, what else are you asking?" ”

"What do I know?" Mingzhu smiled, "If I knew, what would I ask you for?" ”

Cui Gu didn't answer, but just asked, "Where did you see this poem?" ”

Mingzhu was only joking at first, but when she saw that her face suddenly became sad, her eyes were different, and she expected that there was a major secret, she fell into her heart. Then he smiled and said, "Aunt Cui, you know what I do, I can know everything!" ”

"This is my daddy's poem!" Cui Gu shouted, "Aren't you the emperor's guard?" Where did you get my daddy? You tell me, you tell me! Cui Gu couldn't control herself at all, her face was pale, her nerves twitched, her voice became sharp and hoarse, she pounced like a tiger and grabbed Mingzhu's collar, and gritted her teeth and said, "I still treat you as a good person!" I gave you all my innocence, and you, you came to amuse me......"

A delicate young girl, because of a few lines of poetry, suddenly became terrifying, frightened Mingzhu stupidly—as long as he lived, he would probably never forget this scene—he struggled, and Cuigu's five fingers were like iron hooks, and he felt even more frightened.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise of people downstairs, and the servants and maids cried and screamed. Before the two of them could think about it, the attic door slammed open, and the one-eyed dragon Liu Jinbiao appeared at the door with a few smirks. Upstairs and downstairs are full of footsteps, and Mingzhu knows that she can't get out.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jinbiao slanted one eye and smiled, "This Qinglou ** beats prostitutes, it's really rare!" Hey hey ......"

"Put it in your mouth, your mother is the **!" Cui Gu slowly let go of her hand in shock, she was a little sluggish, and after being shocked, the hysterical emotions were buffered, and she began to become rational again, "I have a family, a household, a name and a surname, at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the Taiping World, what do you want?" Which yamen are you from, and you are so wild? ”

"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you." Liu Jinbiao saw that she spoke concisely and firmly, so he didn't dare to be light, and said, "Lord Bamburshan has something to ask Lord Mingzhu and ask him to come over to talk about it." With a mouthful, the two big men in Tsing Yi walked up and set up the pearl and left. When Cuigu went up to stop her, she was blocked by Liu Jinbiao's arm, and she stumbled at that time, only then did she come back to her senses and shouted: "You can't take him away!" - Mingzhu, you conscienceless, say quickly, who can save you, say it quickly! ”

"Your Majesty!" Mingzhu had been dragged down the stairs, and when she heard her ask, she replied in a loud voice.

"Tell me quickly, my father, he-" Just as she was asking this, Cuigu suddenly realized that this was not appropriate, so she covered it up. At this time, I only listened to Mingzhu and only promised "I don't-" ...... Then there were two "snaps" slaps, as if the mouth was covered by something.

For a while, people went to Lou Jing, and Cui Gu sat down dejectedly, as if she had a nightmare. A gust of wind blew, the red candle flickered a few times, extinguished, at this time only the cold moon in the air silently illuminated this Jiaxing building, and the iron horse under the eaves "jingling" and "dingdong" sounded desolately.
