Kyoto's terrain is southern, the summer is long and the east is short, and on February 22, the sun is scorching and the snow is melting, and this year's winter is almost over.

After eleven days of traveling, Ning Yunxiao finally returned to Tianyuan Country at noon today and arrived in Kyoto.

Because the carriage broke down, they rented another carriage to deliver the contents of the carriage.

After going out for almost three months, there is not much change on the first floor of the day, even if it is white, there are still carriages back and forth in front of the door, stopping and going.

The puppy was handed over to the girl and placed in a safe place with the boy by the Mo guards.

Ning Yunxiao changed into men's clothes and entered the first floor of Tianyi, thinking about it, she felt that it was most appropriate to live on the first floor of Tianyi as a guest, no one would think that he was a woman, and even if she did, she would not think that she was Ning Yunxiao.

"Childe!" The second errand boy in the hall saw someone coming in, and hurriedly greeted him, "Childe, you are drinking tea." Listen to the music, or ......"

"I'm going to live here." Ning Yunxiao interrupted the little girl's words and threw out the silver to him, "Prepare a room, wine and food, and in addition, I want a girl who can play the piano." ”

As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot out of nowhere and shook it back and forth in front of the little girl's eyes, "I want the best." ”

Xiao Er's eyes immediately shook with the gold, he suppressed the idea of reaching out for it, and said with a smile, "Childe, please!" ”

"The peony girl in the building is here today, playing the piano is a must, and the little one will invite the peony girl." He said, leading Ning Yunxiao through the hall, down the stairs to the third floor to the upper room, and pushed the door open, "Childe, wait a minute." ”

Ning Yunxiao nodded, looked around, the room was very spacious, there was a six-fold screen on the door, a beauty palace lamp next to it, behind the palace lamp was a soft couch, and there was a carpet on the ground, a low table, and a lot of incense burned.

She walked in, took off her shoes on the high ground and sat down on the side of the low table, "There's a carriage outside, and I'll bring in the stuff inside." ”

Xiao Er had been standing at the door, and when he heard this, he closed the door and hurried down.

Ning Yunxiao's expression relaxed, but he could take a good rest.

She closed her eyes and lay down.

During this period, Xiao Er asked someone to carry her things up, perhaps guessing that she was just pretending to sleep, Xiao Er came over and asked, "Childe is tired?" Is the Peony girl still called? ”

Ning Yunxiao sighed, didn't even open her eyes, "Call her, this, reward her." ”

Xiao Er should be, took the low table on the table, and quickly retreated.

The girls on the first floor of the day all live in the back house, and there are several girls around the top brand and the like.

Xiao Er walked all the way to Peony's room along the verandah, and the little girl happened to come out to fetch water, and when she saw him, she smiled and asked, "Little Second Brother, but you have received a guest for the girl again?" ”

Xiao Er took the gold and shook it in front of her eyes, knocked on the door twice and entered.

The little girl didn't even hit the water, and followed in with a smile, "But a frequent visitor to the first floor of the sky?" ”

"I've never seen it before, young man, I can't take my eyes off when I look at it." Xiao Er praised, "If we go to be a rabbit master, our business on the first floor of the day is estimated to be robbed." ”

As he spoke, he put the gold in front of the peony who was drawing his eyebrows, "Not only handsome, but also generous, girl, go quickly." ”

Peony, as its name suggests, is coquettish between the eyebrows and eyes, a pale pink skirt, and a deliberately loose bun.

She glanced at the gold and smiled, "Anyone can be praised for flowers in your mouth, and I will go to change the usual one, but forget it today, I dare not slack off when a distinguished guest comes." ”

"What a distinguished guest." Xiao Er didn't expect this, "How can I explain to others?" ”

He grimaced, "Good sister, just an hour, oh no, half an hour, play a tune, and you'll come back." ”

"It's really a distinguished guest, I don't dare to slack off." Peony said, with a little pride, "The Ministry of Rites, King Yi's party, and several ministers, a small person like me can have the opportunity to serve, it is already a grace of heaven, before inheriting the grace of heaven, where is it good to pick up other rain and dew?" You say yes! ”

"King Yi!" Xiao Er was taken aback, "King Yi is also here?" Isn't King Yi sick? ”

Peony sneered, "Just your little bit of gossip, where do you know the secret." ”

She changed her side and continued to draw her eyebrows, "This King Yi, his illness has long been cured, and the emperor sent him to arrest his princess!" ”

Xiao Er was shocked and said, "The princess who sent someone to assassinate the emperor hasn't been arrested yet?" Didn't you say that you were dead? They were all mourned. ”

"What the hell, I escaped later, thousands of Praetorian Guards can't catch a woman, how can such a shameful thing grow?" Peony continued, "So I announced that she was dead. ”

Xiao Er was excited to hear such a secret, and was very puzzled, "But since it's so secret, how does my sister know?" ”

"What is there that a man's mouth can hold?" The pair of eyebrows were satisfied, and Peony began to draw her lips.

"Eh! Sister, you still paint! Seeing this, Xiao Er was anxious, "Sister, come with me, that one is still waiting." ”

He said, "It's really a young man, and he has a good demeanor!" I promise my sister has never been with a guest like that. ”

Hearing that he didn't seem to be lying, Peony looked at him at this time, "What you said is true?" ”

Xiao Er nodded again and again, "It's more real than real gold." ”

Peony smiled and got up, a little reluctant, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Xiao Er was overjoyed and led Peony straight to the guest room.

The little girl also wanted to go, but because the clothes were not washed, she could only dispel the idea.

But as soon as she fetched water from the well, the maid beside her mother walked over quickly, "Cui'er, where is the peony girl?" Mom told her to go out to pick up customers. ”

Cui'er was surprised, "Who is it?" ”

"Lord Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites!" The maid put on a reproachful expression, "You don't even remember such a big thing." ”

"The Book of Rites?" Cui'er blurted out, "Didn't you say come at night?" What's going on here! ”

The maid glared at her, "Be careful when you speak, we will serve when the adults come." ”

Cui'er bowed her head, "Yes." ”

The maid asked, "What about the peony girl?" ”

Cui'er was shocked, "Oh no, the girl has already picked up other guests!" ”

The maid suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Don't call back soon." ”

"Oh," Cui'er nodded, and hurriedly ran away.

Smelling the scent of smoke, Ning Yunxiao gradually became tired.

In a trance, she heard the sound of the piano, and then she remembered that she had said that she wanted to listen to the music.

Sure enough, I have eaten too much salt and salt in the past few days, and I have done this.

She sat up and rubbed her brow.

The sound of the piano stopped, and Peony stepped forward and poured tea for her, "But the sound of the slave's piano disturbed the son?" ”

Ning Yunxiao raised his head and took the tea, "You play very well." ”

It's all gone with her drowsiness!

Peony covered her lips and smiled, "I haven't seen Childe before, I don't know who Childe is?" ”

"Where's the girl?" Ning Yunxiao took a sip of tea, "Yuan, where is your ancestral hometown." ”

"Hongchen has been wandering for many years, and the slave family no longer knows where their ancestral home is." Peony said, his face dyed sad.

"In this way, I am also a rootless." Ning Yunxiao smiled, she traveled from the twenty-first century, and there was no place to stop going around, "The girl and I are also people with the same fate." ”

"The slave family is lowly, how dare you talk about it with your son." Peony said.

As the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside, and Cui'er's voice came in, "Girl." ”

Peony frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has already come over, and asked the girl to come over." Cui'er said.

Ning Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, "The Book of Rites? ”

"Childe..."Peony was a little apprehensive.

Ning Yunxiao took a step ahead of her and asked, "Did the girl answer the Ministry of Rites first?" ”

Peony nodded, "But it wasn't originally from this hour." ”

"In that case, the girl will go, and play a song with me later." Ning Yunxiao said.

"Childe is generous, the slave family will definitely come." Peony responded gratefully, got up with the piano in his arms, gave a salute, and left.

On the other side, the room on the shore of the bridge was full of people, with delicious food and wine, and laughter.

On the top sat the book of the Ministry of Rites, more than forty taels of temples but gray.

The next bustard poured him wine, showing flattery and humility.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu urged, "Why hasn't Peony come yet?" ”

"As soon as Peony heard that you were here, you were dressing up in the room, don't worry, you will be here in a while." The old bustard smiled and said, just as the door outside opened, she heard the movement, and said without looking back, "Look, isn't this coming!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and saw that there was only one maid, and his face suddenly sank, "What about the peony man?" ”

The maid squatted down and wanted to whisper to the bustard.

"Hey, it's better for everyone to listen together." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stopped her.

The maid hesitated.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu had a cold face, "What?" Can't listen to this official? ”

The maid shuddered and shook her head again and again, "Miss Peony didn't know that the adults would come early, so she picked up another guest." ”

As soon as these words came out, a prostitute and a woman suddenly stopped talking, "I can be appreciated by all the adults, but I don't know the blessing, and I ran to pick up other guests, this peony is really ......."

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, he immediately snorted coldly.

Where did the old bustard dare to offend him, he scolded the prostitute who spoke in his heart, and the plan in his mind turned around, and he came up with an idea.

"Don't blame the adults, the peony was also forced." She knelt down and said, "The guest saw that Peony was beautiful, so he spent a lot of money to ask Peony to accompany him, and also revealed a threat, Peony couldn't, so he had to agree, it was originally set for tomorrow, but this guest had to be today, Peony just showed that you want to come, and you couldn't avoid it." ”

After she finished speaking, she began to wipe her tears, and said secretly in her heart, I ordered the peony master, I'm sorry for you, who called you bad luck, if you have to pick today, you can come over and let Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites be angry.

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, he was immediately furious, "Really? Who is so presumptuous! ”

Several colleagues are here today, and he must not lose face.

As he spoke, the door was pushed open again.

Peony hurriedly entered with the qin in her arms, knelt down and saluted, "The slave family is late, don't blame the slave family." ”

After she finished speaking, no one replied, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw that everyone was looking at her, and the faces of the two prostitutes still had gloating expressions.

She didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to speak.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu sat up straight and asked, "Peony, why are you late?" ”

Peony smiled and said without changing his face, "The slave family is dressed up in the room, what's wrong with you, adult?" ”

"Oh, my daughter, you're just afraid of causing trouble for adults, so you can't bear it like this." The old bustard pounced, "It's obvious that the guest forced you to compensate him, why don't you say it." ”

Peony's heart suddenly jumped, and she glared at the bustard.

The bustard has done a lot of such troubles, but I didn't expect it to be used on her head today, it's really hateful!

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu asked, "Peony, yes or no?" ”

A colleague on the side persuaded, "It's not a big deal, why bother adults, as long as you have a comfortable time today." ”

However, the Ministry of Rites said, "What the inspector said is true, but that person must also be punished." ”
