Chapter 139
The air blocked and sent away the 'Marquis Geng' group, and the courtyard of the Blue and White Embroidery Building finally quieted down temporarily.
The business of welcoming guests was once again busy, and the people who came in and out of the blue and white embroidery building seemed to have quickly forgotten what had just happened in the backyard and was unknown. No one deliberately thought of or mentioned such idle matters, and became their after-dinner conversation.
Liu Zhi'er originally planned to count on 'Marquis Geng' to help rescue Li Qiusheng's hopes, but at this time it was completely shattered. Her heart suddenly felt like falling into the abyss of the Taihai Sea, and she felt that there was boundless darkness all around. No matter how hard she struggled to swim, she couldn't swim in this deep bay. Liu Zhi'er locked herself quietly in the backyard, facing everything that was about to come alone.
The day soon darkened and darkened, and in the blink of an eye it was silent. The lights in Liyang Town have been lit up for the first time, and those shops that have not closed their facades have occasionally heard a few intermittent shouts of selling, and there are occasional night tourists walking by on the street corners. Although Liyang Town is more lively than those prosperous state capitals, it can be regarded as a sparrow, although it is small, it has all its internal organs.
Catch up with the polder, the market, the show, the painting, the scattered place, the lake and the mountains, there is no shortage.
The blue and white embroidery building with bright lights as bright as the day, is particularly prominent in this dark night, and from time to time there are bursts of joyful sound of flute and piano singing, and the fairy music fluttering like a heavenly sound lingers in this dark night sky.
Liu Zhi'er stood alone in the dark and silent night sky in the backyard, looked around the entire courtyard of the blue and white embroidery building, and then definitely shot her eyes into the hazy morning glory Vega in the middle of July. The figures of Li Qiusheng and Dong Yanzhi slowly emerged in her heart, and the scenes of the past passed through her mind like flowing water. Inadvertently, the second line of tears flowed down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads.
"Qiusheng, Yanzhi, where are you? Are you all right? Liu Zhi'er unconsciously called out the names of the two of them again, and couldn't help muttering. It's like a song about the resentment of the spring leap long door, silently telling this deep palace resentment that no one knows.
The night breeze blew lonely again, sweeping up the flowers in the courtyard that had not yet withered, and let out a slight sigh.
The little girl in Tsing Yi didn't know when she came in with a lantern, she silently stayed behind Liu Zhi'er, and waited for a long time before saying timidly. "Auntie, don't grind yourself like this, Brother Qiusheng and Sister Yanzhi will be fine."
Liu Zhi'er silently glanced back at Tsing Yi and said coldly. "Tsing Yi, don't be Aunt Anwei. My aunt knows, I'm afraid that your heart is more anxious than my aunt. What Qiusheng brother, Sister Yanzhi, I think it's rarer than your heart and liver. ”
The little girl in Tsing Yi's mind seemed to be seen through by Liu Zhi'er at a glance, and said in a simple voice. "However, Tsing Yi is useless, I know the bitterness in my aunt's heart, but I can't help my aunt a little bit, but I have to worry about my aunt everywhere. Auntie, Tsing Yi is really useless, useless... As he spoke, he said, Tsing Yi's expression almost turned into a crying voice.
"Hey", Liu Zhi'er sighed, turned her face to Tsing Yi and said. "Tsing Yi, it's not that you're useless, it's that we can't fight with those powerful people. They treat us as insignificant ants in this world, and they can pinch us to death with a pinch. How can we know the suffering of our ordinary people? ”
"Okay, let's not talk about these sad things." Liu Zhi'er bent down to wipe away the tears on Tsing Yi's face and said, turned around and looked at the two morning glory Vega stars in the sky, and suddenly spoke. "Tsing Yi, do you want to see your Brother Qiusheng and Sister Yanzhi? My aunt will take you to see them tomorrow. ”
The little girl in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Auntie, do you know where Brother Qiusheng and Sister Yanzhi are?" ”
There was silence all around, and Liu Zhi'er did not answer his question. The little girl in Tsing Yi hesitated for a while, and the joy and joy that had just risen straight up just now receded like a tide and declined. She became very stubborn and said intermittently. "But, but, auntie, Brother Qiusheng has been away from us for almost two years, where are we going to find him?"
Liu Zhi'er replied without looking back at this time, "Tsing Yi, my aunt only asked if you want to see Brother Qiusheng?" If you answer, you don't have to ask anything else. Auntie, if I promise you, I will do it for you. ”
Tsing Yi heard Liu Zhi'er say so coldly, as if he had no room for maneuver, but mechanically responded a few times "yes", "yes" and "yes". In fact, when she knew that Liu Zhi'er said this, she had already made a major decision in her heart, she Liu Zhi'er was going to find this Li Qiusheng who was nowhere and good and bad news was flying frequently.
The night has become dark, but in the courtyard of the front hall, there are still some incongruous songs and laughter from the waterfall from time to time, filling the ears. The two didn't speak again, but Liu Zhi'er turned around and took Tsing Yi's little hand and walked to the back wing.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Liu Zhi'er sent someone to call the chief butler Ma Fu early. After carefully explaining the affairs of the blue and white embroidery building to Ma Fu, Liu Zhier suddenly explained his mind. In this dazed world, she and Xiao Qingyi went to find Li Qiusheng.
It took a while for Ma Fu to react. He looked at Liu Zhi'er with a frightened and anxious expression, puzzled and helpless. Yes, it happened suddenly, and he was surprised. In a hurry, his head exploded like five thunderbolts, and he was stunned. But when he came to his senses, the decision of the big boss Liu Zhier was already irretrievable. Tamafu only has the share that he has no choice but to accept, and there is still a point of bargaining.
He touched his hand at a loss for a moment and said, "Since the big bosses have decided so much, then I don't want to say anything more." In fact, it's useless to say anything, and it can't save the heart of the big boss who wants to see Li Qiusheng. It's just that the sky is high and the road is far away, the mountains and rivers are heavy, and the big masters on the road have to be very careful. One mistake and it's a catastrophe! Please also think twice before acting. ”
Liu Zhi'er stared at Ma Fu with a tearful face in front of her, was stubborn for a while, and then sighed pitifully and said. "Hey, Mafu, don't worry. This mountain is high and the road is far away, and the sky is long and the water is separated, can't I Liu Zhi'er go to find Li Qiusheng according to the map? ”
Ma Fu still tried his best to persuade, "The big boss, the news delivered by these three groups of people is the same. I'm afraid that there must be something wrong here, and according to the old slave, let's wait for the news of sleep. In this way, it not only saves the pain of long-distance travel of the big boss, but also makes the people up and down the blue and white embroidery floor feel at ease. ”
Liu Zhi'er smiled bitterly again, "Ma Fu, I know it's hard for you." But do you know the heart of a woman who is a mother? Obviously saw that a thief wanted to put a knife on her child's erect neck, and the mother had no reason not to save it. ”
Ma Fu was finally silent, he turned his head and wiped the tears from his face, he really couldn't think of a better reason to stop Liu Zhi'er from looking for someone.
At this time, Liu Zhier slowly added. "Actually, this world is not chaotic to the point where there is no royal law to govern it, I, Liu Zhi'er, went out to find someone, what is there to worry about."
Ma Fu had nothing to say, and it was not good to disobey Liu Zhi'er's original intention, so he had to say sneeringly. "Well, the old slave will send a little servant to find someone who understands the terrain and the road to tell the big boss about the topography of the mountains and rivers and the flow of the stream. Lest the big boss go to the land of mountains and rivers and get lost when he is gone, if he is so lost, people will be helpless outside, and everything will be worried. ”
"Hmm", Liu Zhi'er responded to Ma Fu lightly, and when she saw that the two had nothing to say, she waved her hand to signal Ma Fu to go out. Ma Fu didn't dare to contradict and disobey Liu Zhi'er anymore, so he had to turn around and leave depressedly, leaving the little girl in Tsing Yi alone in the room to accompany him.
As soon as Ma Fu walked out of the back room, the little girl in Tsing Yi spoke. "Auntie, have you really decided to go to Gulan Town with my master and servant to find Brother Qiusheng?"
"Ouch, I said that you, a little ghost and elf girl, why are you talking to your Qiusheng brother now? It's always against my aunt's words. Liu Zhi'er suddenly shook her hand, pointed to the forehead of the little girl in Tsing Yi and said, love and pity surged into her heart at the same time.
The little girl in Tsing Yi pursed her lips and said slyly, "Auntie, didn't I ask this in order to reassure myself?" I'm more anxious than you to see Brother Qiusheng. ”
Liu Zhi'er immediately sneered, "Ouch, you little ghost girl actually calculated first, and my aunt is here." The future is really promising. ”
The little girl in Tsing Yi lowered her head for a while and replied shyly, "Auntie, you are making fun of Tsing Yi again." ”
The master and servant were having fun, and Qiu Yue outside hurriedly walked in and said. "Auntie, is it true that I heard Steward Ma say just now that you are going to Gulan Town to find Li Qiusheng? This matter, how could Qiu Yue let her aunt leave the people in our courtyard and let you be alone to wade into this risk? Outside, the sisters are all in trouble. ”
Liu Zhi'er sighed again and said to Qiu Yue who came in. "This Ma Fu is a lot of things, and my aunt is obviously a servant of him, and she can't talk nonsense to the outside world. You see that his kung fu has caused me chaos in the blink of an eye, presumably Ma Fu is afraid that after the old lady leaves, your sisters will not accept his dispatch. Therefore, I want to make it clear to your sisters before the old lady goes out, so as not to take care of your sisters when you get it. ”
After Liu Zhi'er said all this, Qiu Yue looked at the two of them in amazement, and stopped talking. Liu Zhi'er glanced at the two of them again and said. "No matter what, no matter what, the old lady will also explain the things in the front hall clearly, so as not to really make our Ma Daguan embarrassed everywhere and be controlled by others. Your sisters have also taken advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. ”
Qiu Yue suddenly blushed and said, "It turns out that this is how my aunt looks at our sisters?" I, Qiuyue, made it clear to my aunt here, if that sister dares to embarrass the big housekeeper and do evil after my aunt leaves, I Qiuyue will be the first to not let her go. Lest my aunt work hard inside and out, there will be no hope for our blue and white embroidery building. ”
"Qiuyue, if you can think of your aunt like this, you are really happy and happy, and it is not in vain that your aunt hurt you in vain." Liu Zhi'er held Qiu Yue's hands and said, stretched out her right hand to wipe the tears on Qiu Yue's face, and then said slowly. "Let's go, don't hurt here. Let's go to the front hall and make things clear to everyone. ”
Qiu Yue and the little girl in Tsing Yi answered yes, got up and followed Liu Zhi'er, and walked silently to the front hall.
