CHAPTER IX

He was dressed in a long white robe, smiling and smiling as he walked towards me, exuding elegance and handsomeness. He has a high nose and deep eyes, thick and long eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, and thin lips. Beautiful like the fairy in the painting, as if he is going to fly to the sky in the next second, I am going to cry by his beauty.

I asked him stupidly, "Have we met somewhere?" ”

This is what I just read from the book, and the men in the book use this to coax girls.

"Guess?" He smiled at me.

It was as if my soul had been snatched away, and I followed him into the flower building.

"Childe? Son! ”

I didn't seem to hear the screams of the moon.

This is the best bean curd I've ever tasted, really, not one of them.

After eating the bean curd, the beauty told me that his name was Li Chengmei. What the?? He is Lee Sung-mi!

I don't always have a good memory, but I remember the name very well. That was the name of the person Wang Lingyun asked when she interrogated me.

Did they have any adultery?

I've always been outspoken. You can't hide what you're thinking. "Do you know Wang Lingyun?"

"Who is Wang Lingyun?"

I saw that he looked confused, not like he was pretending. He didn't ask any more questions. The sky is about to dawn, and Qi Yue urges me to go back quickly, otherwise Wang Lingyun and Li Yan will trouble me again.

I was reluctant to say goodbye to that beauty.

Before leaving, I told me, "My name is Hua Sheng, don't forget me, you have time to drink together!" ”

The beauty smiled and promised me.

Before leaving, he grabbed me by the sleeve.

"Now, here's for you. Go back and see again. ”

I blushed. What's this for? I only like Seven Pleasures. Definitely won't like anyone else.

On the way back, I kept holding on to what I had in my hands. Obediently did not open the box.

Finally arrived at the palace, and I couldn't wait to open it. In the box lay the seal I had just gambled out.

"Ahh Qi Yue, you don't need to kill your head, your head is saved! Hahaha! "I jumped up happily in the palace with the moon in my arms.

At this time, I saw Li Yan coming out of Wang Lingyun's courtyard. He walked towards me with a cold face.

"You're out again?"

I smacked my lips and was about to defend myself, when he said, "You're going to get the punishment." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

"What? Why do you punish her? There's nothing wrong with the moon! ”

"If you mess around like this again and smear my palace, not only will you implicate her to be punished for you, but you will not be able to meet the person you want to see." Li Yan threw the casino bill on me.

"Humph! One person does things and one person is responsible, if you want to punish me, it's okay to punish me, and there is nothing wrong with Yiyue. ”

"Okay, that's what you said. Come and put the side concubine in a small black room for introspection. ”

Mother's chicken thighs.

If it weren't for the sake of seeing Qile, who would rarely be your side concubine.

When I was "invited" by the guards to go to the small black room, I saw Li Yan smiling at me. It's so cheap that I want to take off my shoes and pump him a few uppers.

I slammed him on the shoulder, swaggering towards the little dark room in his rage. Damn, this man's flesh is as hard as a stone, and his shoulder hurts to death, but I still have to force a smile.

"Childe! Son! ”

I fantasized about my tall and majestic image in my heart, just like the mouth of a storyteller, Jing Ke, who stabbed the King of Qin, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone." "Bah, what is not returned. Crow's beak.

"Gollum" is so hungry.

Li Yan is a bastard, if you close the small black house, you will close the small black house, why don't you give food.

Curse you to eat and bite your tongue, and sleep with nightmares......

Li Yan really didn't let anyone bring me food, I don't know if I was hungry or angry, I couldn't move in the small black room.

I've been whistling, this tune is often played to me by Qile, I didn't expect that I, who has always had a poor memory, memorized this tune for so many years.

At this moment, I saw a figure in the only small window of the little dark room.

"Li Yan, you're finally here, you want to starve to death?"

"Flower fungus." He shouted.

It's not Li Yan, it's Li Chengmei's voice.

That's right, how could Li Yan come, he must be there with Wang Lingyun now.

"Why are you here? How did you know I was here? ”

"I just know." He laughs.

"Childe? What are you doing here? "I heard the sound of the moon coming from outside." Ah Sheng, I'm here to bring you food. I must be hungry. ”

"Qianyue, did Li Yan embarrass you?"

"The prince is very good to the moon, and he is not embarrassed."

I snorted, that bastard.

"Let's go, I'll take you out to eat something delicious."

"But I can't get out!"

"It's easy."

With a "click", the small window was shattered.

Given the hard lesson of the last dog hole, I don't dare to overestimate myself anymore. "Forget it, I'm too fat to get stuck in the window."

Lee Sung-mi was amused by my bluntness.

"Okay then."

I heard the lock at the door "Ding Lingdang" sounded, I didn't want to, after a while, Li Chengmei stood in front of me. "Can we go now?"

"Wow! Hello amazing. ”

At that time, I didn't know anything about his identity, but I just believed in him. I didn't ask who he was, but I guess he must have a lot to do with Li Yan, he didn't tell me, and I didn't ask. I always stubbornly believed that he would always tell me. Of course, I didn't tell me about Li Yan, I didn't say it, and he didn't ask.

Li Chengmei took me and Yiyue out of Yingwang's mansion.

The carriage went straight into a courtyard. At night, I saw that the courtyard was densely planted with green bamboo, and the bamboo swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. It was a house made of bamboo, and all the utensils in the house were made of bamboo, and the whole house was filled with a faint scent of green bamboo. I took a few greedy puffs: "It smells so good."

Qi Yue has been looking at it since she came in.

"There is a swing in the back room where you can go and play. I'll cook for you. ”

"What?" I staggered in. "Ahh Really! ”

I've always wanted a swing, but there's no extra place for me to ride it.

I sat on the swing and yelled.

After a while, the smell of rice wafted from the house.

Lee Sung-mei! He made so many delicious dishes. There are pickled chicken, golden chicken, gourd chicken, black hen chicken soup, and a few vegetarian dishes.

"Why are they all chickens?"

"Don't you like to eat?"

"Like, like, like. My favorite chicken is my favorite. ”

"Let's eat it too." Li Chengmei was really understanding, he saw that Qi Yue was a little nervous, so he smiled and said to her.

When she was about to excuse herself, I pulled her to sit beside me.

"Good sisters have to eat delicious food together."

Lee Sung-mi kept watching us eat.

Later, Qi Yue was a little embarrassed, so he took a few bites of vegetarian dishes with chopsticks.

After the meal, we sat on the roof and drank. It was the best wine I've ever had. It's even better than Daddy's wine.

"What kind of wine is this?"

"This wine doesn't have a name." Li Chengmei said, "You can give it a name." ”

"Don't call Qile anymore." Qi Yue, who had not spoken, said.

I was about to open my mouth.

"Oh? Seven Pleasures? He looked at me and asked.

"An old man of Ah Sheng. Her fox is called Qile, her horse is called Qile, her basket is called Qile, and her daffodils are also ......."

Li Chengmei looked at me with a bewildered expression: "Who are you Qile?" ”

"I don't know." I laughed.

After laughing for a while, I realized that it wasn't much funny. "Maybe it's a habit." I took a sip of wine.

Both of them looked at me intently. I was a little embarrassed to be looked at.

"There are so many moons today!"

......

Later, I always took the moon to hang out with Li Chengmei every three or five days, his cooking was so fragrant, and more importantly, he was kind and good-natured, which made people can't help but want to be close to him.

I didn't go out for days.

In the yard where I live, there was somehow an extra swing. I sat on it all day long and played with the moon.

At noon, Wang Lingyun came to find fault again.

I went back with a few words, and went back crying. I thought she would definitely blow the pillow wind on Li Yan, so I changed my clothes and went back to Fumanlou.

"Auntie, Daddy, I'm back!"

No one paid any attention to me. I ran to the back room and looked for a big circle, but there was no one.

Backyard. Daddy and Auntie sat in the garden, looking at the fox on the ground.

"Ah Sheng, you're finally back, Qile is dying."

"What?"

"It's too old, and for a fox, it's already considered long-lived. It struggled for three days without closing its eyes, and it must be waiting for you. ”

Hearing my voice, the little fox looked up at me vigorously, and the bell around his neck made a crisp sound. I hurriedly took it in my arms and called it Qiraku, and it touched my face with its front paws, and then fell asleep quietly in my arms. Tears flowed down my arms when its eyes were closed, and I could feel its heat through my clothes.

My heart ached for a moment. I always wonder how my little fox and I must have known each other in our previous lives, otherwise how could it follow me home and treat me meekly like a friend. In fact, it's my friend. My little fox is very sensible, and he has accompanied me through many days without seven joys. It will laugh with me when I am happy, snuggle up in my arms when I am sad, and at the end of life, it will not go first, to see me for the last time.

I buried Qile under the pear blossom tree in the courtyard, and buried a jar of wine for it, and the little one was hungry by me, and he wanted to drink some wine every few days. The string of bells was hung on the pear tree by me, and when the wind passed, it would jingle. It's like Seven Luck is still alive.

After burying Qile, I felt a little lost in my heart.

A-Niang saw that I was not happy and made me a lot of delicious food. Hua Muyan is also rare.

Daddy was not affected by the death of the little fox in the slightest.

He seemed to be a little happy, "Our family hasn't been together since we came to Chang'an. Have a drink at the bar today. ”

My brother and I also rarely didn't quarrel.

"The children have grown up, and Mu Yan should also take care of himself and marry a daughter-in-law. Ah Sheng doesn't want to play anymore, it's time to find someone to live a down-to-earth life. Don't look for Qile anymore, you have to understand that in this world, many people are used to miss out. A-Niang said.

"I'm still young." My brother and I replied at the same time.

After the meal, I was dragged by my mother to go shopping on Suzaku Street, and my mother said that I was also old, and it was time to apply rouge and gouache, and I should not always wear men's clothes and dress myself up like a boy. Under my excuses, I only bought two boxes of rouge, and I should put down the rouge gouache here, and my mother pulled me into the cloth shop again.

"Ah Sheng, you choose, Ah Niang will make you a set of skirts and make a gift for your seventeenth birthday."

"How's this?"

I shook my head.

"How's that?"

......

The little fox who has been with me for many years has died, and I feel very bad in my heart. However, I know that A-Niang is also to make me happy. I tried my best to be patient with her.

I drooped my head all the way and didn't speak, but A-Niang kept making me happy. It's my usual job.

In the days that followed, every time I thought of myself that day, I wanted to slap myself a few times.
