Chapter 43: Cui's Death

Knock knock.

It was already the time to hold the lamp in the middle of the night, and suddenly someone knocked on the window, Yang Liu frowned and pushed the window open after Tang Yue nodded, Tang Yue got up, and the wind chimes put on a big-sleeved shirt for her.

"Who?" Yang Liu stood sideways in front of the window, holding a stool in his hand.

"It's me, Willow. The male voice jumped slightly, and he seemed to be very excited.

Tang Yue heard Tang Long's voice and pushed open the window, which happened to hit him on the forehead, only to hear the sound of "ouch" in pain, Tang Yue held the hand stove and complained to Tang Long who looked at her with a look of grievance, "Big night, are you a thief or a thief!"

"Isn't this thinking that Ming'er is the Lantern Festival! You can't go out to play for a few days all year round, if it weren't for you, how could I come over at night by touching the bottom of the wall!" Tang Long rubbed the bag on his head aggrievedly, he must be green, how can Ming'er go to see a beautiful girl!

"What can't you say tomorrow and tonight?" Tang Yue's eyebrows widened, obviously Tang Long didn't tell the truth!

"It's not-" Tang Long smiled, "Ming'er, you know, you just said that you will not go tomorrow?"

Tang Yue hooked his lips, "Since my brother is warmly invited, it is naturally not good to brush off my brother's good intentions." Who are they?"

"It's just a few of our brothers and sisters, Tang Jin doesn't take him!"

"Are you sure you can get rid of it?" Tang Yue looked suspicious, Tang Yue's temperament was ...... It's the same as Tang Hu's ass worm!

"Hehe" "Don't worry about this!" Tang Long smiled very obscenely, seeing that Tang Yue was full of boredom, he always felt that this brother was not doing good things!

Tang Long touched his nose and walked away in a huff, why is my sister's temper getting bigger and bigger!Hmm~ It must be that I have eaten too many oranges recently! Before leaving, I remembered something and whispered to Tang Yue, "Ah Yue, don't forget to tell my mother tomorrow!"

Tang Yue directly blew out the candle and went to bed.

Her brother must have something to hide from her! Tomorrow, huh......! What does the sentence of Su Wuxing mean? After the Lantern Festival, it is time for the smoke to be extinguished. But should it be at Dongyang? She has already instructed Dongyang Haosheng to look at King Hui's concubine, who is also her brother and sister, and once she ascends the throne, she can be regarded as ascending.

Tomorrow will be the Lantern Festival.

I can't tell what it felt, Tang Yue was groggy all night, as if he was caught in a nightmare and seemed to be half-asleep and half-awake in a big dream, and the repetition in his mind was the pain of the fire in the previous life. The flames scorched her skin, spreading along the ice muscle and jade bones, and instantly devoured her whole person, and that kind of pain was deeply engraved in the depths of her early bone marrow soul, even if she had been cultivating for many years, she was completely broken at this moment, but no matter what, she just couldn't wake up! Repeatedly, being scorched by the fire, watching herself turn into charred dry bones and a pinch of loess finally dissipated with the wind......

Until I am numb, I don't know what the pain is.

Early in the morning, Tang Yue took the boiled chicken, rolled his eyes, and finally disappeared the blue and black, and covered it with fat powder, so as not to show the slightest, wrapped it tightly, went to Songhe Tower, asked An, and turned to see Cui's again.

"Mother. ”

"Today's Lantern Festival, do you want to go out with your sisters to play? I have received a post from you here, one is the Jiang family's sister looking for a sister, the other is the Gao family's sister Yun, one is the pearl of the Dali Temple Qing family, and the other is the golden branch and jade leaf on the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, you are amazing, if you don't go out, you will pay two noble girls when you go out!" Cui's squinted eyes teased Tang Yue, wearing a begonia-colored jacket with silver silk plum blossoms, with a broken skirt of honey color to match, gold and silver threads wore small pearl gems with rice grains are quite luxurious, and dignified atmosphere, pulled a little cui five phoenix hairpins, oblique hairpins with a weeping tassel Liuting white jade mica hairpin, and added a few begonia Huasheng inlaid with rubies, and the eyebrows were painted with cinnabar, this smile made Tang Yue stunned, how long has she not seen her mother like this?

It is as beautiful as a begonia flower with buds on the branches to be dyed with morning dew in the morning sun.

Delicate, gorgeous, three points natural and seven points shy.

"Mother is really beautiful today, but my father wants to take my mother out?" Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Tang Yue is not a little girl who is not knowledgeable, isn't Cui's graceful figure thanks to her kissing her father.

Cui Shi smiled tactfully and did not answer: "You don't go out today?" Your eldest brother came back and forth early in the morning, and I said that he would take you out at night. ”

"Mother agreed?" Tang Yue's eyes were bright, extremely happy, although she went out a lot, but every time she had something to do, she hadn't walked the bluestone road in the capital for so long, and she hadn't seen the fire trees and silver flowers outside, and the lights were dim!

"It's a Lantern Festival today, the lights on the streets and alleys outside must be beautiful, how can I detain you? I can't go back to your father to complain?" Cui Shi pointed the tip of Tang Yue's nose, and Tang Yue closed his eyes like a little rabbit.

"Then thank you mother!" Tang Yue turned around and climbed onto Cui's couch, leaning on Cui's arms and rubbing again.

There is always a fragrance on Cui's body, which makes her can't help but relax.

That's probably the taste of timelessness in the book.

Cui Shi smiled and hugged Tang Yue, and asked people to take the book and read it softly, a long time ago, when Tang Yue was first literate, Cui Shi also accompanied her to read poems and songs about the rise and fall of the world, maybe I don't understand, but one day I will understand.

Ling Ling is like flowing water, soft and moist like jade, Cui's voice is extremely gentle and soft, it is the light floc on the willow tops in March and the swimming fish at the bottom of the green lotus leaves in June.

Tang Yue soon fell asleep, Cui Shi was laughing and reading by herself, but there was no sound, and someone took a velvet blanket to cover her.

In the evening, Tang Yuyu and Cui's together, Tang Yue's three brothers and sisters together, Pearl brothers and sisters together, and the rest of them all accompanied the old lady in the house. Tang's mother is getting older and less like going out, and this Lantern Festival just lets her subordinates hang all kinds of lanterns around the house to take a scene.

Xia Qiwen and Lin Xian sat under Tang's mother, "I thought that it would be rare for you two to come to the capital, but if you go out for a walk, who would have thought that you two would be willing to accompany me, an old woman!" Tang's mother smiled, and her eyebrows could not hide her pride.

Xia Qiwen didn't pull Tang's mother's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Ancestor, is this Qiwen making trouble?"

"How can there be! I'm praising us Qiwen for having filial piety!" Mother Tang was very satisfied with Xia Qiwen, Lin Xian also saw it, and added with a smile, "Sisters serve under the knees of the ancestors in the morning and evening, only me and Sister Qiwen are rare to be filial piety in front of the ancestors, today I took this opportunity to behave well, and the ancestors may be rewarded with a big purse!"

"You're a narrow-minded person, where is your stuff missing?" Tang's mother laughed and scolded as she pleased.

"Come on, come on, change it on?" Tang Long handed over a set of green shirts inlaid with purple and gold crowns and a pair of brocade boots, which confused Tang Yue, what is going on? Give her men's clothes?

Obviously, it was Tang Long's own new clothes, and the material was a cyan pattern of hooking pine branches or she personally chosen!

Tang Yue's sparkling eyes were inexplicably unwilling to disappoint him, so he asked people to change his clothes outside, Yang Liu and Feng Chime also changed into men's clothes, and he was very energetic in an ink-colored short fight, and he tidied up Tang Yue's hair again.

After everything was done, Tang Yue went to Tang Hu's carriage, and Tang Long led the way in front of the car alone.

"Does the eldest brother know what the second brother is thinking in his belly?" Tang Yue dragged his cheeks and looked sideways at her beautiful eldest brother, Tang Hu is suitable for purple, mysterious and profound, and it seems more and more that this person has a deep and extraordinary temperament, today is a dark purple wide-sleeved robe, carved silk workmanship, hollow pattern, the ink brocade belt around the waist is embroidered with vanilla, and a drop of emerald green jade ring is hung, the weeping turquoise green palace tape, the brown square sachet is embroidered by her personally, which is filled with mint borneol and aloe vera incense, refreshing.

He only said that he would take us to see for a long time tonight, so that no one who doesn't go out all day long won't know what the outside world is like. Kara shrugged, fortunately the bluestone road in Kyoto was wide, and because of the festive season, the carriage was separated from the pedestrians, and their respective paths were set, and the carriage was fast and arrived at its destination in a short time.

Tang Long raised the curtain, Tang Hu got out first, and then hugged Tang Yue and got out of the car. The corners of Tang Long's mouth twitched, please it's men's clothing now, so pay attention!

Looking around a few times, it seems to be the back door of a certain place, and although the lights are lit, there is a sense of discouragement.

Tang Long blinked and led the two into the door, and followed them on both sides to avoid collisions, Tang Yue only brought Yang Liu and Feng Chime when he went out this time, because Tang Yue went out in men's clothes again, the two of them didn't dare to take it lightly, and followed Tang Yue every step of the way, only one step behind.

"Good!

"One more!"

"Quick, let the music come out! Labor and management are not here to see these vulgar fans!"

"Yes! Get Regie out!"

"We're going to see Regie!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, Le Ji will be here soon!"

The dazzling red yarn, the sweet aromatherapy, the sound of drinking and punching downstairs are endless, and women wearing full-breasted skirts and half-gauze skirts wrapped in various colors of shawls can be seen scratching their heads and posing.

Tang Hu didn't understand what kind of place this was, and he would have lived for so many years in vain!

"Tang Long!" Tang Hu gritted his teeth, quite with the momentum of sharpening his knife.

Frightened, Tang Long's body was immediately shocked, his expression was embarrassed, and he was seen.

Seeing this, Tang Yue raised her eyebrows and stared at Tang Long suspiciously, but after thinking about it, she had never been so out of line in her previous life and this life, and it seemed good to see her now?

"Brother, brother-" Tang Long said in a loud voice, "This peach blossom fan is a place to enjoy flowers and listen to music, this Le Ji is also known as Le Le, good at playing the pipa, brilliant in writing, and is held by many princes and nobles!

This Tang Long is getting bolder and bigger! He has also heard of the famous Peach Blossom Fan, and he is indeed a bit powerful among the literati.

"Let's go, have you booked a private room?"

"This is natural!" Tang Yue is also her sister, although men's clothes don't dare to be presumptuous when they go out, who makes her sister young, her facial features have begun to show color?

Tang Long led the way, and Xiao Er guarded the corner, and took a token that he didn't know what it was, and Xiao Er immediately led everyone upstairs with a pleasant face.

Tang Yue's eyes were staring at the hall well, different from the red gauze outside, the lights were ambiguous, and the screen inside was used to block one side, the cage plain yarn, on which you could faintly peep the ink-dyed landscape and poems and verses, and there were a few white scrolls hanging down from the second floor, I don't know what it was for.

I heard that the peach blossom fan always has plain yarn to inscribe poems for the literati? If it is well written, it will be played and sung by Le Ji herself? The last song is called "Begonia Under the Moon", which was composed by the brother of Concubine Xian.

It's the song I'm singing now.

Tang Yue held her cheeks and listened to the music, her brother set a good seat, very close to Le Ji, and avoided the hustle and bustle downstairs on the second floor, her voice was very good, not like ordinary women tactful, with a little hoarseness, a bit of a feeling of arguing between men and women, not showing her face, combing her fairy hair, wearing a coral crown hairpin and white jade hairpin, a red gold and ruby jade on her neck, a lark gray long skirt, a black and brown blouse, and a pair of embroidered bow shoes with more than three inches under her feet.

She's so good-looking. Tang Yue thought of it, and when the voice turned to her head, her voice turned straight around the beam, and Tang Yue couldn't help but knock on the table and hum.

The east mountain is singing at night, the road is difficult to find, and the cold weather needs to return. Three or two glasses of wine, already slightly drunk, but smelling warm. Leaning against the door, cardamom Qingxi hugged Ruan. Orchid lamp red sleeve grub. Like an old friend, it's not too late to return. The piano tune is three degrees, and the willow is not broken, and this time I wish to save. For the rest of her life, the concubines plan to be the same.

"This is the one that the young master of the Qi family and the prince of the Rui family are fighting for?" asked Tang Yue.

"That's right, it's very good! The sound is bright, the color is like spring dawn, out of the mud but not stained, and the water is clear and rippled but not demonic!" Tang Long was full of emotion.

Tang Hu led the two of them to prepare to go to the teahouse first to wait for the return of Cui and Tang Xu, listening to the two of them talking, he couldn't help but speak, "I admit that the first two sentences are extraordinary, just by looking at those eyes, you can see the color of the city, but in the last two sentences, don't insult the lotus!" Tang Hu rarely has such a poisonous tongue.

Tang Long immediately exploded: "Big brother, the girl is also from a Qingliu family, and she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child!

"If it's really out of the mud, how can you provoke the prince of Rui Wang and the son of the Qi family to fight for her?" Tang Hu turned around and his eyes were sharp and cold, "Don't listen to some rumors, your eyes are long and they are not for decoration!"

Tang Long wanted to say something, but Tang Yue pulled him, and said unhappily, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yue whispered something in his ear, Tang Long immediately looked stunned in disbelief, too lazy to care about this second brother who was confused by beauty, and sped up his steps to follow Tang Hu's side.

The crowd suddenly became agitated.

Tang Hu frowned and hugged Tang Yue directly, Yang Liu and Feng Chime had already returned to the carriage to get Tang Yue's clothes and then went to the teahouse to wait first, because the two of them wanted to stop by to see the lanterns on the street before walking to the teahouse.

"Ahh

"Run!"

"There are robbers!

The crowd was suddenly agitated, Tang Hu directly wrapped Tang Yue in a cloak with a cold face, and dropped a sentence of "Don't leave yet!" to Tang Long and escorted Tang Yue away.

The streets were full of confusion, and all kinds of screams and cries were mixed together like boiling oil pots! The lanterns of various colors, which were originally hung on the street with two layers, were brilliantly embroidered, but now they are shaking and not falling, and the hearts of the people are pounding, and they are afraid of falling down and causing a fire! Tang Hu's face became colder and colder, Tang Yue hid in Tang Hu's arms but didn't have much impact, he only hugged Tang Hu's waist vigorously, and it was not bad to follow his footsteps, only two or three scholars were around him, it seemed that they were practicing their families, and the two of them were not affected too much.

"Go back to the house directly!" Tang Hu ordered, and a few people hugged him and walked to the Dingguo Mansion.

"The second young master didn't follow!"

"He's a big man, and he can't get into trouble if he has so many eyes like a sieve!" Tang Hu's face became colder and colder, he had already seen the fire that he didn't know where! Damn!

Tang Yue also knew the seriousness of the matter, and didn't dare to disturb Tang Hu's mind with too many words, and the road of just two streets was like walking all night at this moment.

finally returned home, Tang Hu first sent Tang Yue back to the yard to change clothes, but fortunately, the wind and dew were all there. After changing his clothes and tidying up his appearance, Tang Hu led Tang Yue to Songhe Tower to ask for peace, and on the way, he asked a long man named Zhuan Bi to go to the teahouse to bring people back, and by the way, he inquired about the news of Tang Hu and Cui's family.

"Ancestor, are they back, father and mother?" Tang Hu spoke, he didn't bother to say hello, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, his eyelids jumped, and he didn't care about Tang's mother's unsightly face at all.

"Not yet. "In the end, it is the eldest grandson, and Tang's mother will not give him a look even if her face is ugly.

Lin Xian keenly felt that something was wrong outside, but it was difficult to ask.

Xia Qiwen silently pretended to be small and transparent.

When Tang Yue entered the door, he found that Tang Jin and the Wang family were not in Songhe Tower! He was a little panicked in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm, "Huh, why aren't the second uncle and second uncle and mother here?"

"Your second uncle was dragged away by his colleagues, and his second uncle and mother were taken by the Wang family to see the lanterns. Tang's mother didn't speak in a good tone, she didn't do her filial piety in front of her during the New Year, she felt that her authority had been challenged!

"Oh no! the frame of the eldest lady has been robbed by robbers!" someone shouted outside the door and ran in, pale and sweating profusely.

Tang Yue couldn't even stand on his feet, and barely leaned on Tang Hu's arms, with no blood on his face.

"You're not from your mother's side, where did you go on an errand?" Tang Hu frowned and said sharply, can such a thing be passed on casually when you were robbed by robbers? You even dare to shout loudly in the courtyard! It's really not a big deal!

Tang Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and her momentum came out, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

The man was frightened, his face turned even paler, and he still didn't change his words, "Slave...... The slave said that the frame of the eldest lady was robbed by robbers......"

"Come on, drag it down and beat it to death!" Tang Mu's face did not change, "Who gave you the courage to dare to bite the eldest lady!"

Tang Hu glanced at Tang's mother coldly, if he was killed like this, wouldn't it be true that his mother was robbed, no matter what the result was, his mother would either have a green light and an ancient Buddha and would be alive or Tang Hu's face would be gloomy and dripping, or he could only prove his innocence with three feet of white silk...... But in this way, some people will splash sewage and say that they are ashamed, and their Tang family's basin of sewage can be ......

Tang Yue woke up like a dream at this time, "The old lady is now the first month of the New Year, it is not suitable to see blood, it is better to gag and tie up the firewood room, so that people will not leave to watch!"

"You have a point, Mama Jiao, do as the third girl says!" Mother Tang squinted her eyes and said, "By the way, send someone out to find the eldest lord and eldest lady." ”

"Yes. "Retreat now.

Tang Hu took the opportunity to let the folded sand that followed him also go out. Zhesha is the Cui family, so naturally he got the news from Tang Hu to find Cui Yan.

He couldn't believe the people of the Tang family!

In the middle of the night, Tang Long came back.

A few people sat down until early in the morning before getting the news.

Tang Yu is back.

He was covered in mud and scars, and there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes.

Tang Yue, Tang Hu, and Tang Long's heart immediately cooled.

Lin Xian also wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Tang Yue, who was completely bloodless, worriedly.

Xia Qiwen hid her stunned eyes, and she didn't know what to do.

Choi committed suicide. The golden hairpin cuts the throat.

(The moon begonia is a word I filled in myself, it's not very good, please bear with me.) )
