Volume III-1: Early Spring in Gangnam (XI) (Middle)

Early Spring in Gangnam (XI) (Middle)

Wang Xiaohua suddenly felt that her scalp was numb, and she quickly retracted her body, and lowered her eyebrows: "My subordinates are wrong." ”

He raised her head again: "Remember, although she is polite, she is not a woman who will bow her head casually. In front of men, they will also raise their heads proudly, rather than lowering their bodies to cater to men. In this way, it can be regarded as noble, can it make men's hearts move, and let men like Huang Shenghua plunder by unscrupulous means. ”

She trembled and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

He reached out and pulled up the bandeau on her chest, covering a large piece of snow white that she exposed, and his tone was cold with disgust: "Dress more tightly in the future." She would never dress so vulgarly. ”

Wang Xiaohua's voice was already a little choked: "Subordinate... Be sure to pay attention in the future. But she quickly turned her mind to the fact that her master must have had unusual feelings for the woman who resembled her, and she should find out who this woman was, and what made him so pleasing to her, or how the sisters were pleasing to him.

"No matter how much you pay attention, you can't become a noble woman like her. She and her sisters are not something you lowly people can imitate. You just need to coax Huang Shenghua's kind of rough person, pretend to be noble in front of Huang Shenghua, pretend to refuse, give him a chance to use strong, don't let him succeed smoothly, understand? But don't play tricks in front of me. He seemed to guess what Wang Xiaohua was thinking, suddenly squinted, tore the fabric that was holding her chest in his hand, and threw it on the ground in disgust. The skirt on her body also disintegrated. As soon as her body was cold, she quickly raised her eyes to look at his face, only to hear him coldly order: "Didn't you always want to wait for me from the moment you entered the door?" Not to start yet? The next thing he didn't say in his heart was that a pair of sisters would never do anything like you.

Wang Xiaohua was surprised for a while, and quickly knelt in front of her master. The master still likes her service.

A gray figure, holding a picture scroll, quickly entered the Red Clay Building Yuyue Pavilion, and when he heard the movement inside, his body stiffened, and he didn't dare to go directly inside. Although the master had previously instructed him to report the results directly, but as a man, he naturally knew that no one wanted to be interrupted at this time, but he didn't dare to leave. He had been following his master for many years, and knew that he was deaf and discerning even at such times, and must have heard him coming. He could only stand at the door of the outer room with his eyes and nose and nose in embarrassment. I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but I didn't expect to hear a sentence soon: "You come in." "There's no one else here, apparently letting him in. The man in gray rubbed his head down and struggled to get in, burying his head almost to his chest, lest he see something he shouldn't see. But I heard the master's words: "Bring the scroll." ”

This time I couldn't just keep my head down, I raised my eyes and walked awkwardly, and I couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that the master was just sitting on the couch, and there was a woman kneeling in front of her, her long hair and tattered clothes covering herself, and also blocking the lower half of the master's body. He quickly handed the scroll to his master: "This is based on the description of several people who have seen Miss Bai, I don't know if it looks like a real person." ”

The scribe hummed and took the scroll and unfolded it. In an instant, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly stood up, forgetting that there was still Wang Xiaohua kneeling in front of him and he only had a neat shirt. The man in gray quickly lowered his head in embarrassment, tempting to disappear now. Seeing the secret place of his master, it will not be easy for him to live well in the future.

Wang Xiaohua quickly glanced at the scroll, and saw that it was a plain-clothed beauty in the painting, she unconsciously clenched her hands, and secretly scolded the fox spirit in her heart.

"Inform me, I want her whereabouts in Hangzhou, where has she been in the past few days? Who have you seen? From now on, send me someone to keep an eye on her. Examine her parents, her family, and I want to know everything about her. ”

"The subordinates will arrange it. It's just that she has always been within the protection range of Tang Sanshao's people, and it is difficult to send people to follow her from time to time without being discovered by Sanshao's people. The man in gray didn't dare to say, Tang Sanshao himself was a first-class master, and the master asked them to follow and spy on his women, although they were also the top and top figures in the guards, but compared to Tang Xinjie, they were not an order of magnitude at all.

"I don't care what method you use, I want to know everything about her, her whereabouts for the past five years." The scribe said lightly.

The man in gray bowed his head and replied, "According to the information of our sentinel, this white girl is the niece of the Bai family, the husband of Tang Xiaoxiao, the aunt of the Tang family. I arrived at Kansai Karamon five years ago. Usually in the Tang Gate of the deep house, except in Tangzhuang, is in the Tang family's Baicaotang Medical Center in Xianyang City. I went to Luoyang with Tang Xinjie once a year ago, and set off to Jiangnan with Sanshao after the year, and I will enter Beijing with Sanshao three days later. After a few days in Hangzhou, in addition to following Sanshao to the Tang family's property and Sanshao's own industry, Miss Xinyue, who accompanied the Tang family, never went out alone. After the young master and young lady of the Tang family came to Hangzhou this time, in addition to going to her own industry, she only went to Tongling Temple to incense. The uncle of the Bai family disappeared more than ten years ago, and there has been no news so far, and the second master of the Bai family encountered a shipwreck at the ferry, and only this white girl survived. ”

"The Bai family? Xiping Bai family? ”

"Yes, the aunt of the Tang family is from the Xiping Bai family. The Bai family originally did not have many heirs, but since Bai Shilang was beheaded due to greed for ink, and Aunt Bai of the Tang Sect disappeared, the Bai family has faded out of everyone's sight in recent years. Neither Beijing nor Xiping seems to have heard of the Bai family in recent years. ”

"Have you not heard of it, or have you not paid attention?"

"The subordinates didn't pay attention."

The scribe did not say anything. Although his eyeliner is all over Da Zhou, he is also a human being, and he sees important things. For an outdated family, it's normal not to care.

"Is there a portrait of the Tang family's aunt? Or the portrait of the Bai family's parents? ”

"My subordinates sent someone to try to find it." For so many years, if it weren't for a beautiful woman and celebrity, the possibility of a portrait was really unlikely: "It's just that my subordinates don't understand what the master is doing with the portrait of the Bai family?" ”

"I just want to see if this white girl is really the Bai family."

"Since the master suspects that she is not from the Bai family, but doubts her origin? Please also ask the master to make it clear. ”

"I just think she's a lot like an old man I know." The scribe said with a low frown. He was just teaching people how to imitate her, but he saw a portrait that looked very similar to her. If he hadn't known that this woman was her daughter's age, if he hadn't seen her fall in a pool of blood before him, if he hadn't buried her with his own hands, he would have thought she was born again. And is this woman her daughter?

That little girl was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother, but she had been pierced through the chest by Yixiang's sword and had already been buried in Nanyuan, the capital. At the beginning, he was not in the capital for many years, but he only took a look at the palace from a distance when she first entered the palace. It was still a child, and she hadn't grown, and he wasn't sure if she was like that when she grew up. But at that time, several princes saw Yixiang make a move, and it was his subordinates who watched the corpse. Could it be that Chen Musco has done his hands and feet? Hiding her in Kansai? It seems that the old pious woman still cares about her friend's children and grandchildren. I just don't know what she will think when she knows the truth about the Zhou family's murder one day. If this white girl is the girl he thinks, how should the old goddess face her? Huang Shenghua is an old pious woman. That girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp when she was on an errand in the palace, if there was Tang San'er as the backing, the capital would be lively. If it was really her, this Jiangnan might be about to change.

The Aoki Tea House in Huanglongpo is larger than the Aoki Tea House in Hangzhou, built along the mountain with the water, a mountain spring trickles out from the mountain rock on the top of the tea house, and there is a crisp sound in the mountains, along the mountain spring, there is a long corridor covered with wisteria and honeysuckle, and a pavilion will stretch out every other section under the corridor to build over the stream. Each gazebo has a complete set of tea stoves and tea sets, and a set of tables and chairs made of boxwood or bamboo. Some of them are unobstructed, and tea drinkers can enjoy the creek by the railing, or raise their eyes to view the mountain forest courtyard. Some of them are glazed windows on all sides, so guests can close their doors and open them to enjoy the view.

Although it was warm and cold in early spring, many literati and artists in Hangzhou had already come to Huanglongpo to visit the city. Holding fragrant tea in hand, listening to the sound of the gurgling stream, and watching the tender green buds emerge from the branches, whether it is a gathering or talking about poetry and painting, it is quite interesting. This time, when they came to Hangzhou, Xinjie and Lian'er were busy with various affairs of Baihuatang and Aoki Society, and they couldn't stop every day. Today, several friends who are close to Xinjie in Hangzhou meet here and occupy the largest Yunxiao Courtyard on the top of the mountain. Yunxiao Courtyard is an independent courtyard in a garden, the Yunxiao Pavilion in the courtyard is built against the mountain rocks, you can watch the lake on three sides, and you can see the entire urban area of Hangzhou across the lake at the same time, and you will also be built along the Huanglongpo and the lakeside of the lake. Between the Pavilion and the backyard wall is the spring of the Sky Spring, which runs through the entire Aoki Tea House, where the spring water is divided into three streams, one is fed into a pipe made of bamboo tubes, and directly sent to the cistern in front of the large kitchen of the Aoki Tea House; One was led by a bamboo pipe to the cistern in the middle of the tea house, where the guests loaded and boiled the tea; A small garden in front of the Pavilion was drawn around and flowed down the mountain from under the wisteria trellis into the waterway of the Spring of the Clouds. The entire Yunxiao Courtyard is usually closed to the public, and only friends and important guests who are close to Xinjie will have the right to use the tea room on the first floor. If he lives here, ordinary people can only meet in the ordinary tea room of the tea house. Upstairs is Xinjie's private place. After returning from Cuiming Mountain, they did not go back to Baihuatang to live, and they have been living on the top of this mountain for the past few days.
