Chapter 5 General Gu's Mansion
She looked at the man in front of her with some pustus on his face with disgust, turned her face away, and said helplessly: "I promise you!" ”
The middle-aged woman seemed to be satisfied with such an answer.
"Qingli!" The woman shouted, and after a while, a maid-like figure walked in: "Mother." ”
"Take her down to freshen up, and arrange an upper room when you're done." When she was taken away by the maid, she said to the remaining strong men: "Send a few more people to watch over her, and it is best to arrange a girl to keep an eye on her, if the people run away, you will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
Su Wenmei was taken to a room on the third floor, freshened up, had a good meal, and finally felt much better.
There were still guards outside the door, she walked around the house twice, she was always followed by a girl, and even Su Wenmei went to the toilet, she followed her closely. She was helpless, so she stopped moving around, and fell crooked on the bed.
The bed is a silk quilt with goose down added to it, which is very soft. Su Wenmei has been tired from running around for these days, and she hasn't slept well for a day. When I lay down, I felt very sleepy. Close your eyes and you can vaguely hear the bustling traffic downstairs.
Su Wenmei didn't think about it anymore, fell into bed and fell asleep.
The next afternoon, a maid brought her clothes and dressed her well.
The mother was also there, looking at Su Wenmei, who was made up, she was very satisfied, and nodded vigorously, and the black mole on her chin trembled with her lewd smile.
Su Wenmei is indeed beautiful, at this time, her head was carefully combed into a bun, a silver hairpin, and her forehead was carefully decorated with Jin Tian. She wore a goose yellow metasequoia, draped in a fox fur shoulder, beautiful and delicate, revealing a little charming, slim figure, but also revealing the unique green form of a girl.
When night fell, Cheng Qian was dressed in gold-rimmed white clothes and wore a hat, and the cloth that hung down covered his face.
He has an extraordinary temperament, and he walks with a bit of a kingly demeanor that cannot be encroached upon. Walking on the streets of Chang'an, many women looked at him sideways. He was followed by an entourage and stepped into the Full Moon Tower on the bustling streets of Chang'an.
"Ouch, Lord Lin!" Mom walked over and looked at him flatteringly: "Lord Lin, all the people who come here to have fun are men, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, you can take off the hat." ”
"It's okay," he said lightly, "What about the person I want?" ”
"Adults want beautiful people, this is hard to find, find a small one!" The old bustard snorted, with a fox-like scheming smile: "Fortunately, I found a good one yesterday, and now I am waiting for you upstairs!" ”
He was the new Son of Heaven who had just ascended the throne. A few days ago, someone secretly reported that this Qinglou abducted and sold women from good families, and it was repeatedly banned, causing public resentment to boil. If the courtiers see that they have entered the Qinglou, I am afraid that they will end up with a reputation of prostitution.
At this time, Su Wenmei was alone in the house, and the maid who had been following her was also called away not long ago. She held in her hand the rope she had twisted out of curtain cloth, it was not long enough, and she had to find something to pick up a little more.
Through the window, she could see the bustling scene downstairs, but at the moment she was not in the mood, she had to think about how to go down so that she could not fall to her death and escape quickly.
But the door opened, and in came a man with a veil.
She stopped catching the rope for fear of being discovered by him, so she turned to look at the man warily. She couldn't see him through the veil, but he could see her clearly.
The eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the eyes are like distant daisies. At this moment, she has a little panic in her eyes, but she is also very beautiful.
The young man under the hood stared at her slender figure, almost amazed.
The man didn't touch her. In the middle of the night, he sat down in a chair and picked up the teacup on the table. The tea was cold, but he drank it all.
"Do you know how to play the piano?" He pointed to the guqin across from him.
"Yes." She was stunned for a second, nodded, and sat down by the guqin.
She didn't play well, and the song "Pear Blossom Rain Cool" was played several times wrong one after another, and Cheng Qian frowned unhappily.
He didn't seem to be in the mood to continue listening to her, so he got up, blew out the lights in the room, and sat down on the bed again. It was dark in the room, and Su Wenmei couldn't continue to play down.
The man sat on the edge of the bed, took off the hat and threw it on the bed, leaned back, and supported the bed with his hands: "Come here." ”
Su Wenmei paused, and could only slowly approach him, stopping at a distance of two feet from him.
He grabbed her wrist, pulled her down on top of him, and pressed her under him. He stroked her face with one hand, he gasped heavily, and a warm breath sprayed on her face: "What did you put in the tea?" ”
Tea? She remembered the cup of tea that had been placed on the table and had been drained by him.
"That's not for me, it's for me to drink." She remembered that Qingli came in with tea just now, and persuaded her to drink it with a smile on her face, so she suddenly realized: "That tea is ...... There is medicine! ”
Sure enough, that mother was cunning and knew countless people, and she was afraid that she would still refuse to obey and offend the guests.
However, at this moment, Cheng Qian had slowly lost his mind, he only felt a dry mouth at the moment, and his heart seemed to be burning a fire. He cupped her face and kissed her eagerly.
He had never felt this way before, after all, he was still just a boy.
"Hmm......" She couldn't see his face in the darkness, only his heavy gasps.
Lips and teeth intersected, and a strange sensation came over him. What kind of beauty is under him at this moment.
He put his arms around her, and he was about to untie her shirt in a hurry, but a cold hairpin pressed against his neck.
"If you do this again, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
"Are you so reluctant, have you been abducted?" He asked rhetorically, but brushed away her hand holding the hairpin. Still couldn't help but lean over and kiss her neck, her neck was delicate and tasted excellent: "If you follow me, I will protect you for the rest of your life." ”
"......" Cheng Qian's chest was pierced by her, and blood slowly poured out. He frowned, looking at the woman in front of him who was as obedient as a little white rabbit, how could she really make such a heavy hand.
She pushed him away with all her might: "Deng's disciple!" ”
As she spoke, she had quickly reached the window and slid down the curtain. The risk was high, but she didn't want to lose her life. When sliding to the second floor, the men and women who were doing sports were obviously frightened, and the screams of the women on the bed instantly resounded through the Full Moon Building.
Unable to retreat, she let go of her hand in fright and let herself fall to the ground. On the third floor, it will hurt a lot if you fall. She couldn't help but close her eyes. The man upstairs was about to jump down to pick her up.
However, the expected pain did not come, but was taken into someone's arms.
It's Gu Changlin.
He was on his way back to Beijing to report on his work, when he saw a woman rolling down from the upper floor. So he was quick-eyed, and kicked over his horse and caught her.
She was held by him, and after rolling on the ground a few times, she landed safely.
After standing up and seeing each other clearly through the lights on the side of the road, they were both surprised: "It's you?!" ”
"Ahh Mom heard the movement and had already squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers: "Why are you here now?" Come back with me. So saying, he stepped forward and took her by the wrist to drag her away.
"I'm not going back!" She struggled to shake off the hand she put on her wrist and knelt down: "General Gu, please save me, I was sold by gangsters!" ”
General Gu didn't speak, so she put her head on the ground: "Please!" ”
General Gu frowned, looked at the old bustard, and had a little impatience on his face: "How much is she worth?" ”
The old bustard did not panic, his hands were crossed on his waist, and then he stretched out his right hand with his index finger pointing up: "One thousand taels!" ”
What the? When I bought it, it was fifty taels, and now it has multiplied twenty times! Why didn't she rob it!
"Give it to her!" He said to his entourage.
So the bustard took the money and left with the others.
After they left, General Gu got on his horse and wanted to leave, but he didn't mean to take Su Wenmei away.
"General!" Su Wenmei got up and walked up to him: "When Wenmei first came to the capital, she didn't know anything about the customs here, and she had no relatives. Please also general, take it in. ”
"You're not from the Marquis of Zhongwu?" He asked.
Su Wenmei didn't know how to answer, she didn't know who she was. However, if she had a home, she would not be reduced to a green house.
She shook her head at General Gu: "General Gu, Wen Mei can be a slave and a maid." begged the general to take her in, Wen Mei only asked for a place to live. ”
General Gu hesitated, he had rescued her in the grassland before, he had just returned to Beijing, and he met her on the street again, it was a bit of a coincidence, could it be a meticulous work arranged by the new emperor?
Su Wenmei looked up at him earnestly, not like she was acting. He had to ask his entourage to give her a horse and walk to Gu's house together.
The man on the third floor was stabbed by her hairpin and saw blood, and he became more conscious. Standing by the window at the moment, watching with interest what is happening downstairs.
He squinted, Gu Changlin's family?
The door was pushed open, and it was the first-class guard who looked for him: "Your Majesty, the investigation has made it clear, the Full Moon Tower has indeed been suspected of abducting and selling women from good families in the past few months, and there are indeed some officials involved in it." He handed over a piece of paper: "Here is a list of the abducted women and the officials involved." ”
These days, the former emperor passed away, and the dynasty was unstable. Some officials didn't take him seriously, and they became more and more rampant, acting as demons under the nose of the Son of Heaven!
He took the book and saw that there was a name at the end of the book: Su Wenmei.
He just heard the bustard call her Ah Mei, is his real name Su Wenmei? A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he picked up the hat and put it on: "Go." ”
Su Wenmei followed Gu Changlin to Gu's mansion, it was close to midnight, there were few people on the road, and occasionally two or three insects chirped. However, the lights were still on in the Gu Mansion, and the door was open.
"Mother!" Gu Changlin shouted, dismounted and quickly walked into the Gu Mansion, holding the hand of the old woman at the door: "More deeply, why don't you go to sleep yet?" ”
"Knowing that you are coming back, the old lady has been waiting at the door for a long time." The grandmother beside the old lady helped her and spoke.
"I didn't say it was today?" He asked.
"The old lady hasn't slept much in the past few days, and she is looking forward to you!" The mama replied.
"Zhirong!" The old lady scolded softly, then turned her head to look at Gu Changlin, clenched his hand, and nodded with tears in her eyes: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”
The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. Fighting on the march often involves a great danger to life, and it is possible to say goodbye forever. So the reunion of their mother and son is particularly moving. Su Wenmei was also infected by the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but redden.
"This is ......" The old lady apparently saw several soldiers behind him, as well as her.
