[Chapter 31: San Lang angrily reprimands Xiao Lang] (2)
Yu Niang thought for a while, and said: "No wonder he didn't accept our property at that time, and said that he didn't need to bring luggage and coils, it turned out that he was too little before, waiting for all our property......"
Li Longji couldn't see the woman's sad face, or crying and so on, and he couldn't help but feel partial to Xiao Jiangyuan, so he said: "He didn't ask for money at that time, maybe he felt that it was useless, and it was only right to take it after the matter was completed, as for how much he took...... What is the value of leaving the palace for you? Seeing that Yu Niang and the others were silent, she smiled and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're going to do, even if I do, I'm too lazy to talk - where are you going, what does it have to do with me?" β
Yu Niang was the first to understand what Li Longji meant, and she knew that she couldn't hide it, so she simply said: "Leaving the palace is an opportunity for us to change our lives, and it is naturally very important, and we will not hesitate to go bankrupt." β
Li Longji bowed his head and said: "Money is all things outside the body, and if you don't have it, you can earn it again, but this is the only time to get out of the palace like this tonight." He took only that, and he might have lost it, but even so, he left a gold ingot for each of you, so that you would not be left penniless and despaired, and you would either be harmed by the wicked or return to the court, which would be good. β
Yu Niang nodded, and said admiringly: "The king just said that Xiao Neishou is hateful, but now he is speaking for him, he is really a gentleman." β
Li Longji smiled silently and did not deny.
"But......" Yu Niang got up after mending Li Longji's clothes, stood with several sisters, looked at each other, and their eyes were red, "What is this gold ingot enough for...... We have just left the palace, we are not familiar with the place, and we have no relatives, but what should we do......" As she spoke, several palace maids hugged each other and cried.
Li Longji suddenly panicked, and while secretly complaining that Xiao Jiangyuan's heart was too dark, he came to the palace maids: "You guys...... What are you crying about......
"Slaves and maids are naturally crying for their lives......"
"......" Li Longji saw that the more they cried, the more fierce they became, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, and he had a headache for a long time before he said again and again, "Stop, stop, if you cry again, I'll go to sue!" As he spoke, he took out his purse, "I don't have much on me, you can use it first, if you don't have food and clothing in the coming day, you can come to the Five Kings' Mansion to find me." Anyway, I know each other, and I won't leave you alone. β
Seeing the palace maids looking up in disbelief, Li Longji handed the purse forward and said softly, "Take it." β
And when Yu Niang stretched out her hand, Li Longji seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly put away his purse. The palace maids were stunned for a moment, but they heard Li Longji say: "This purse was given by my concubine, you can take the money, but this one can't be given." β
The palace maids were very envious of Li Longji's wife and concubine for a while, such a gentle and considerate husband, such a romantic and easy-going prince, where else can they be found here?
Seeing that several palace maids were already convinced of him, Li Longji said: "I only have one thing to ask for." β
Yu Niang hurriedly said: "The king has something to order, just let our sisters repay the king's kindness." β
Li Longji's eyes were deep, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Tonight's incident, you are not allowed to say it, you fled from you, I didn't see anything, and I didn't hear anything, when did the civil and military officials know about the escape of the palace maid in the future, when did I know, understand?" β
Yu Niang said: "This is nature! And if it is not desperate in the future, the slaves and maids will never come to the house of the five kings, and cause trouble to the king, please rest assured. β
Li Longji received a satisfactory answer, so he said goodbye to Yu Niang and the others, and walked back to Suzaku Street. At this time, the crowd has slowly dispersed from the light wheel, after all, no matter how beautiful the light wheel is, it is just a light wheel, and there are many interesting places on several streets in Chang'an City, and you can't finish shopping in one night.
As soon as they dispersed, the streets were less crowded, and there was finally half a step between them, enough to move between them. Li Longji looked around, but he didn't see a familiar figure, so he planned to walk towards the lightwheel, maybe he could catch up with the brothers who were walking elsewhere. But after walking for less than a moment, his footsteps could not help but stopβa clear sound of pipa music came clearly from not far away.
For a moment, everything around me seemed to be still, and only the sound of music lingered.
He has heard a lot of pipa music since he was a child, and he is more skilled than this, but he rarely can play such a state of mind. Not following common sense, detached, has a chic and expansive atmosphere, listening to people's spirits, full of pride, I can't wait to gallop immediately, break free from all the shackles of the world, and run to a broader world.
Li Longji can feel the musician's desire to break free from the predicament, and also understands his ambition to be unwilling to be ordinary. Curiosity prompted him to change direction, and he had to meet this man.
Sure enough, the music is so good that everyone in the world can hear it. There were many people around this place, and Li Longji walked back and forth in a circle several times, but he couldn't squeeze in. Just listen to the sound of the pipa, and the sonorous swords are endless, could it be that there are juggling or martial arts performances inside?
The latter is just that, the former is really a waste of such good music.
Just as he was struggling to break through the human wall, he heard a familiar melodious flute sound coming from behind him, Li Longji was overjoyed, smiled and turned around, and really saw the eldest brother walking slowly with a few brothers. Pu Run followed them not far behind, and saw Li Longji saluting: "When I just passed by, King Shouchun said that the king of Linzi must be here, and it was so." β
Li Longji smiled, and saw Li Chengqi walking towards the crowd while playing the flute, and just wanted to call Li Longye to work together to separate the crowd, but saw that the people took the initiative to give way one after another.
This can also be ...... Li Longji was amazed that the eldest brother deserved to be the eldest brother, so he hurriedly followed with his brothers and others, and walked to the center of the circle step by step, and saw that there was indeed a juggling team, but it was indeed a martial arts performance...... Or a real fight.
Li Longye chatted softly with the people next to him after a while: "Who are they?" β
"The little lady who plays the pipa, I don't know."
"If it's her, I still need to ask you? I'm talking about them. β
"But so-and-so knows a thing or two."
"Oh? Let's hear about it. β
"Look at the middle-aged Lang Jun in white clothes and short brown, that is the master of this juggling team, and the young man in black clothes and tight robes is the bad guy in Ande Fang. This juggling team performs in the West Market on weekdays, but you also know that the West Market only opens at noon, and the dusk drum is about to close as soon as it sounds, so how far is Andefang from the West Market, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, but if the juggling team wants to survive, they have to let the performance take longer, which delays the time to return to the Fang. If the bad guy doesn't have any cases to investigate and thieves to arrest on weekdays, he is the one who guards the door. Chang'an's square door is opened regularly every day, closed regularly, never make an exception for one person, the juggling master always comes back when the last dusk drum is almost finished, often when it comes to the fang door, the dusk drum also just stops, do you say this bad person can let them into the fang? β
"If it's just right...... It's not impossible to put it. β
"But after two encounters, the juggling master came back later and later, first a few steps behind, and then three or four feet away, and the bad man was also released, until one day, the juggling master arrived at the door of the workshop again when the last beat of the dusk drum was finished, but saw that the door was locked, and he couldn't open it."
"And then?" Chang'an has a curfew, they didn't enter the fangmen, if they were watched by the patrolling Jin Wuwei at night, they would be arrested!
Later, that night, for some reason, Jin Wuwei didn't find the juggling team. On the second day, the juggling class master and the bad guy's beam was settled. No, there was a fight again. β
His ears didn't drop a word, but Li Longji's eyes fell on the pipa girl who had been kneeling on the animal skin blanket and playing silently as soon as he came in.
He never thought that such music would not only come from the woman's hand, but also from her.
Of course he recognized her. This is the grandmother's niece, the daughter of the late Hengan King Wu Youzhi, after Wu Youzhi died, she entered the palace with her mother Yang, saying that she was raised by her grandmother, but in fact, her grandmother treated her mother and daughter lightly, rarely met on weekdays, and rarely remembered. But the treatment is still good, at first like the county lord, after the Shenlong coup, it gradually became similar to the palace maid. Now she should be sixteen, and she has really become a big girl, and her appearance and bearing are almost like two people when she was a child.
