088 With you by your side (and updates.)
Xi Niang took Xiangxiang's hand and said, "It's not that he left you, Xiangxiang, you listen to me." ”
Xiangxiang said: "He said he would take me back, but we just came out to relax." ”
Xi Niang frowned and persuaded: "What are you going to do back to that place, you can wait here with peace of mind, Qi Hui will come to pick you up soon." ”
She shook her head again and again, she already understood the difficulties and dangers in the wall, and said eagerly: "Xi Niang, you don't understand, if Niangniang can come out immediately, if he can come to pick me up immediately, he won't tell me clearly, and he doesn't need to send me out first." ”
"Xiang, Xiangxiang ......" Xi Niang was stunned, Xiang Xiang actually snatched the door and left, she combed Xi Niang's hair for two years, although there are not many girls here, she is no stranger to the Closed Moon Pavilion, and rushed downstairs familiarly, even if there were guests with the girl in her arms everywhere, she didn't look at it, and ran straight out.
Unexpectedly, he ran too hard, and he didn't pay attention to someone coming in front of the door, Xiangxiang's eyes were black and he bumped into the man, but the man stood firm, held her shoulder and asked, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
But Xiangxiang didn't care about apologizing, and didn't care to see if she was okay, she pushed the man's arm away and continued to run out, but she forgot what place this was, although she was very familiar with everything, if she used to come at night, she came to perform with the entire dance troupe of her sisters, everyone came and went and left after dancing in a hurry, and if she came alone, every Qinglou had not yet opened its doors to welcome guests in the daytime, and there was no one on the road here.
But at this moment, the night is late, she is alone, and she is surrounded by men who are full of alcohol and wandering inside and outside the green building, here, no man will hide his lustful heart.
As soon as Xiangxiang rushed into the street full of red lanterns, she didn't know where to go, there were people everywhere, she couldn't even call Qi Hui's name, the more anxious she was, the more scared she became, and she couldn't help shouting: "Where are you, take me back." ”
But as soon as she shouted, more and more men noticed him, and they came in groups, they had long been tired of seeing rouge and vulgar powder, Xiangxiang was out of the bath at this moment, his white and tender skin was glowing red, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat because he was in a hurry, and the flickering under the light was very eye-catching, and after running a few steps, the fragrance of flowers on his body was overflowing, and he hooked people*. With such a delicious flesh in front of them, the men were eager to leave aside others and put down their chopsticks alone, and some people had already come to ask: "Girl, which building is it?" Ye will take you back, don't be afraid, you are here to live a good life, and you will love you well. ”
Xiang Xiang suddenly realized the bad situation and wanted to retreat, but there were drunk people behind him, and they approached a few steps closer, and they were about to touch their bodies, Xiang Xiang had no fear, but scolded angrily: "Get out, you all get out?" ”
The little lady who looked weak suddenly was so violent, not only did she not suppress the men, but they were all enthusiastic, pushing each other and saying what to do with Xiangxiang, but at this time, a man broke in and said arrogantly: "Let go of this little girl, I have packed the flower wine tonight, no matter which one you go to, come to me first to get the silver, but let go of this girl......"
Xiang Xiang was hesitantly staring at the man, and everyone was also attracted by him, seeing that he took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms, and just came up to ask for money, and suddenly felt that there was a wind around him for a moment, and they seemed to see a figure quickly swaying in front of them, but they didn't see anything real, and when they woke up, the girl who was still standing in the center of the person was gone.
The man was also surprised by this, he held the silver ticket in his hand, someone reached out to draw it, and he threw it into the sky without hesitation, and suddenly more and more people came to grab the money, but he stepped aside, looked at the chaotic crowd, and carefully searched everywhere, and the girl was really gone.
On the high building of the Closed Moon Pavilion, Xi Niang had a full view of the things below, and the old bustard asked diligently behind her: "Do you want to send someone to find Xiangxiang back, and I will leave it for you to comb your hair in the future." He also muttered, "When did this girl come, why didn't I see it, was she kicked out by the dance class?" ”
Xi Niang was annoyed, waved her hand and asked her to go down, saying that she didn't need to look for it. She had just seen Qi Hui quickly rush into the crowd and take Xiangxiang away, she was not worried about Xiangxiang's safety, she was just curious about the man downstairs who threw money, this is the third time she has seen him, as Shifeng said, if you have an unsightly background, you should try not to attract attention with your tail between your legs, he is so flamboyant, as if he wishes the whole world knew about him, it seems that he is a rich nouveau riche, and he came to the capital to squander it.
"The appearance is dignified, and the things you do are so vulgar, your parents give you a face in vain." Xi Niang sighed lightly and closed the window disdainfully.
At this moment, in the place separated from the flower street and willow lane, the people here have already fallen asleep, and every household is very quiet, and a few dogs from the family have noticed the movement outside the door and barked a few times vigilantly. Xiangxiang stood still, listened to the barking of the dog, and suddenly found that she had been in the palace for several months, and she had never even seen a dog, and it was terrifyingly silent there late at night.
The moment she was hugged by someone's waist, she was relieved, she said that she would keep Qi Hui's hand in her heart for the rest of her life, and she could think of him whenever and wherever she saw it, at this moment the two stood opposite each other, Xiang Xiang held his arm with one hand and didn't let go, but the other hand didn't dare to catch up.
Xiang Xiang lowered his head, Qi Hui couldn't see her face, he was already full of guilt, he couldn't go far after leaving the Closed Moon Pavilion, he was reluctant after all, and he was worried that Xiang Xiang would run out to find him. Sure enough, it's not superfluous to worry, seeing that group of brutes surrounding his beloved, Qi Hui has the heart to kill, but what he did when he killed those people, all the fault was on himself.
"Your words don't count." When Qi Hui reached out and gently touched Xiangxiang's cheek, she finally spoke, and as soon as she opened her mouth, tears burst into the embankment, these tears were not the hesitation of being dropped, nor the fear of being molested, it was joy, it was joy that Qi Hui didn't really leave her.
Qi Hui also spoke, but he had to say: "Xiangxiang, it's too dangerous in the palace, my mother is bent on me sending you out first, if you are obedient, I will feel a lot more at ease when you are outside the palace." ”
Xiangxiang shook his head, and finally grabbed Qi Hui's arm with his other hand, and said with a twitch: "Don't leave me, I have been lost by my father and mother once, don't lose me again." ”
"It's not that I'm leaving you, it's ......"
"No matter how hard it is there, you are by your side." Xiangxiang raised his face, tears and pitiful, "I also want to leave there, but I want to go with you, even if I don't come out there for the rest of my life, even if I go to the ends of the earth after I come out, as long as I follow you...... Did the mother tell you about the day? I'm not sad now, really not sad. ”
She threw herself into Qi Hui's arms, wrapped her hands tightly around his waist, and begged, "Take me back, I want to go back with you." ”
The person who crashed into his arms was very powerful, every bit of strength was her firm heart, Qi Hui gently brushed her hair that had not yet dried, and came out to blow the wind, so cold that his fingers hurt, he quickly took off his coat and wrapped it in Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang struggled a few times, and finally heard Qi Hui say to take her away, so he settled down and hid in his arms steadily.
On the way back to the palace, the two snuggled together, and Xiangxiang was afraid that Qi Hui would run away, so he kept grabbing his clothes. Although Qi Hui failed to do what he should have done, and his mother would inevitably be disappointed when he returned to the cold palace, but when he returned to this land of tigers and wolves with Xiangxiang, he was full of heart and very down-to-earth.
He didn't want to be separated from Xiangxiang, but he didn't want Xiangxiang to suffer with him, and at this moment he was even more determined to solve everything quickly, and in the days to come, he couldn't let Xiangxiang live in fear of fleeing.
And that night, Xiangxiang and Qi Hui did not make any waves, there are often girls in the Qinglou who sneak out, everyone is not surprised, people talk about it for several days after that, it is someone who scattered silver tickets that night, and those silver tickets vary in size and amount, but at least a thousand taels are scattered in one night.
Afterwards, someone went to the money bank to check, and it was indeed a real silver ticket, which aroused more people's curiosity, where did the rich man come from, and spent money in the capital. The government and the imperial court, which were most sensitive to money, also noticed this, and Shifeng soon received instructions from his father to check on the people who had recently stayed in Beijing.
And that night, after the man threw the money, he was at ease in the Closed Moon Pavilion, and the old bustard almost worshipped him as an ancestor, and wanted to try to persuade Xi Niang to show his face, but the man said with great sincerity that he was not ready for a thousand taels of gold, and only ordered a few handsome girls to accompany him. ”
One person smiled and said: "If it were our people, my mother would laugh crookedly, but I am afraid that the position of Xi Niang's Oiran will not be guaranteed in the future." You can also see it, Xiangxiang is beautiful, but she is not our person, she just came to comb Xi Niang's hair, although her background is not good, but she is innocent. ”
"Xiangxiang?" The man muttered.
When the girls saw that he had a rare and curious topic, they all wanted to make the guests happy, and they could get more rewards, and told the men everything they knew one by one, not to mention that Xiangxiang was obviously sold into the palace by their class master to be a dancer, how could he come out again, could it be that he had already left the palace, and said that Xiangxiang would definitely come to comb Xi Niang's hair again, and they would help pay attention.
The girls got a lot of money that night, and those who didn't get any benefit from it outside thought that the sisters had done everything they could in exchange for a reward, and they didn't want them to get a lot of money with just a few words. The sisters were strict-mouthed, and did not mention anything about the house to the others, and they were still looking forward to the man's return, and to the reward for more.
Since that night, Xiangxiang has never appeared again, a girl has the audacity to ask Xi Niang, Xi Niang pretended to be stupid and perfunctory, as time goes by, no one asks again, and the generous man may not come for a long time, so far no one knows where he came from, and some people even joked that it must be that the money must have been spent, and he left Beijing to return to his hometown.
In the deep palace, Xiangxiang has been back for two days, and she has not dared to hang in front of Concubine Xian, for fear that Concubine Xian will drive her away again.
