Chapter 54: The Moonlight Falls (I)
Li Qiusheng took advantage of the situation to escape from the market, and this was a mellow scuffle. This time, it is much more familiar with the road.
He was so anxious that he fled in the direction of the inn, and finally slowed down at the corner of the street. He looked up a little, Mom! The street corner, which was empty just now, was now filled with a crowd of people running in a panic, as if they were running away from the harm they came from nowhere.
Li Qiusheng quickly calmed down and thought for a moment, he couldn't run all the way like this, right? It's also a hard thing to get alive and nasty. Besides, his identity has already been recognized, and if he walks back in such a daze, he will alarm the other guests of the inn, and he will definitely make Old Man Dong suffer.
As soon as he thought of the power of this, Li Qiusheng slowly stopped his steps of escaping. He thought that instead of letting the old man suffer from hard work again, it would be not too late to let himself take more detours now.
As soon as this idea was decided, Li Qiusheng began to look around.
Everywhere the eye looked, except for the dim moonlight sprinkled endlessly on the Dragon Scale Ancient Town, there was still a little bit of chaotic fighting in the street market just now.
In the southeast corner, a brightly lit pavilion is faintly revealed, and the music of the flute, pipe, piano, and chess waves still splashes under the night.
Li Qiusheng's mind suddenly flashed over the scenes of boiling soup in the courtyard of the Blue and White Embroidery Building, and he slowly moved his feet towards the place where the lights were lit.
Fengyue Tower has always been a place for singers to laugh, a place for those businessmen and eunuchs to have fun, and a place for those frustrated literati to borrow and pour wine to dispel their sorrows, and naturally it is also the best place for some people in the rivers and lakes to take refuge.
Li Qiusheng had grown up in that kind of place, and of course he knew the secrets hidden in it, so he stepped into it without hesitation.
Sure enough, it is a good place, although it is a little narrower than the blue and white embroidery building compound, and the upper and lower decorations are also a lot less prosperous, and the left and right carved beams and paintings are also less elegant than the corners of the Toad Palace, but it is finally an embroidery building with a little fresh Yaxing.
At the moment when Li Qiusheng hesitated to step into the embroidery building again, the singer of the Spring Courtyard had already greeted him with a smile on her face.
hugged left and right, and catered to the front and back, Li Qiusheng seemed to have been hijacked by those welcoming singers, and he couldn't help but flutter.
He simply closed his eyes, and let the two singers carry him to the courtyard, through the hall and then upstairs to the showroom.
Waiting for the two welcoming singers to bring Li Qiusheng into a delicate show room, he sat down on a round stool, and then said slowly: "Childe, please wait, let's go and invite the girl in the building to serve Childe immediately." With that, the two closed the door and withdrew.
Li Qiusheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. This show room is also exquisitely decorated, and there is a breath of love in the obscurity, which makes people feel like falling into the fog of five-colored clouds.
Li Qiusheng smiled bitterly inexplicably, he really couldn't believe that he grew up in the Qinglou, but he was forced into the Qinglou at this moment. The next thing is that as long as the girl from the Qinglou enters this room, it is the march he has heard and witnessed.
Suddenly, Li Qiusheng couldn't help but shudder in his heart, Mom, is this and that? He unconsciously reached out and touched his coat pocket, and the cold feeling made him feel a little comfortable and warm. Finally, I was embarrassed and didn't get home, but fortunately I asked the old man for some scattered silver when I came out.
The door creaked open, and a gorgeous, exquisitely dressed woman in pink pink stepped in.
Li Qiusheng was suddenly stunned, his eyes staring at the woman who walked in lightly, and his face of uneasiness and panic poured into his eyes beating like a fawn.
The woman moved the stool opposite Li Qiusheng and sat down, with a smug smile on her face, her watery eyes flashing with a pair of delicate willow eyes, and the black beads were like a bright pearl in the dark night, bursting with warm sunlight.
Facing the delicate woman in front of him, Li Qiusheng's heart couldn't help but change again, and Dong Yanzhi's slender figure and her gentle smile immediately appeared in his mind. Everything was like a bright blade digging through his heart, but the pain was slowly growing bit by bit.
There was no better way to refuse, Li Qiusheng had to pretend to be a rich boy visiting the Qinglou, put on a casual shelf, and looked at the diligent woman sitting opposite him with drunken eyes.
The woman smiled charmingly, raised her slender hand to support her cheeks, looked at Li Qiusheng and said slyly, "Childe, seeing that you are so sullen must be someone who has something on your mind." Since Childe has arrived at my 'Qinxinzhai', he should forget about the wind and dust and get drunk in the gentle country, why is Childe still ignoring the little woman's courtesy? Could it be that the little woman did something wrong? After the woman finished speaking, she put on a helpless look, which was very pitiful.
Li Qiusheng was so close to the delicate woman, his face turned red, and he said shyly. "Good sister, don't make fun of me. Actually, actually, I, I'm not here to have fun. I am here ... Li Qiusheng waved his hand and said nothing, and suddenly fell dumb there, with a dejected face.
The woman smiled and covered her mouth and said. "Childe, don't say it. The more you say, the more I see you can't speak clearly. From the moment I entered this door, I felt that Childe was here to have fun, and he must have come to settle in the Qinglou to avoid something. I've seen a lot of these things, so please don't be weird. ”
Li Qiusheng suddenly took a light breath, raised his eyes and looked at the woman and said. "My sister is really good-looking, and she can see through people's hearts in one sentence. I just want my sister to understand my mind, so don't say those kind words that are outside the court, that will seem to be our part. ”
"Well, what Childe said is that the little woman won't ask much, I hope Childe can be relieved." The woman suddenly became strict, and she didn't have the seductive vulgarity she had before.
This time, it made Li Qiusheng a little restrained and uneasy. He quietly stared at the woman in front of him who had become strict, and he looked like he was saying something or not, which made people puzzled.
The woman chuckled again, then introduced herself. "Childe, the little woman's name is Yinping, and she is called 'Little Golden Flower' in this Qinglou. Seeing that the son is not a layman, he might as well call the little woman "Silver Screen", so that the son can do as he pleases, and he is a lot less restrained. As soon as the woman finished speaking, she put on a charming and sunny look, looking full of pity, and her heart swayed.
Li Qiusheng didn't want to reveal his real name again, for fear that he would invite unwarranted misfortune again. But the woman in front of people seems to be a fairy who can perceive people's hearts, and if she hides her real name, she feels that she is more pretentious.
Li Qiusheng could only clear his throat, moisten his throat, and looked at Miss Yinping in front of him and said. "Good sister, my name is Li Qiusheng, that is, the Li of Muzi Li, the autumn of Hehuoqiu, and the birth of a native of people, this is probably what I mean when I was born in autumn."
At this moment, before Li Qiusheng's words all took root. This Miss Yinping immediately screamed, she pointed at Li Qiusheng with a trembling hand, and muttered to herself, "You are Li Qiusheng who shocked the government and the wilderness." I'm really lucky, I didn't expect to meet you, the fledgling Li Qiusheng in this small Qinglou. Thank you, thank the gods, I Buddha is merciful, I'm not dreaming, right? ”
Looking at Miss Yinping's expression that suddenly became so surprised, Li Qiusheng asked inexplicably. "Sister Yinping, you also know that Li Qiusheng did the unsightly thing that shocked the world before. That was Li Qiusheng's stupidity at the time, and he did this evil thing, provoking his own wife in the world but there was no place to hide. ”
"No, no, it's not what you say. Brother Qiusheng, I admire your shrewdness and courage in doing this; I also worship your pure heart for Dong Yanzhi. Pity me for my silver screen all my life, my sex is higher than the sky, and my life is like dirt, why can't I meet a strange man in the world like Brother Qiusheng? Miss Silver Screen hurriedly argued, and even her own tone of voice became low and pitying.
Li Qiusheng couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Miss Yinping's gourd for a while, but she felt that she admired herself in her inner worldview. In addition, it is the handsome appearance that is so cute and pitiful in front of him.
Miss Yinping held back her tears of excitement for a while, and wanted to say something more to Li Qiusheng.
However, outside the door, there was the anxious shouts of the singer who had welcomed the guests. The singer melted the door page and shouted, "Little Golden Flower, Little Golden Flower, you pay attention." Now a large group of officers and soldiers have come outside, saying that they are here to search for Li Qiusheng, a criminal of the imperial court. Zhang's mother has instructed that the girls in each room must cooperate with the official army to make rounds. If the girl in that room found out right and wrong, Zhang's mother said that she couldn't eat and walked around, and she was sent to prison together. ”
Li Qiusheng's face suddenly changed when he heard this, he stood up from the stool when he stared, reached out and took out a few taels of broken silver from his coat pocket and threw them on the table, turned around and left.
The girl on the silver screen hurriedly got up and grabbed Li Qiusheng and stretched out her finger to boast, Li Qiusheng didn't know what she meant, so she had to stop in the middle and watch Miss Yinping's behavior.
But seeing that the girl in the silver screen first went to the door to answer the singer who sent the letter, and then returned to Li Qiusheng and said. "Li Gongzi, don't panic, just rush at your dedicated love for Dong Yanzhi, I Yinping sacrificed my life today to save Li Gongzi in danger. I don't do anything else, just for the world's lovers to eventually become dependents. Yinping Xiao's life is also smiling for Li Gongzi's death. ”
Li Qiusheng's heart was shocked, and tears flowed down his eyes uncontrollably. Li Qiusheng knew that he rarely shed tears, but this time the tears made him flow so much that he didn't think about it.
He looked at the girl with tears in his eyes, he didn't understand why the girl who had just met on the silver screen was willing to carry this disaster for himself when they didn't fully understand each other, and even gave up their lives.
The girl on the silver screen walked over slowly, silently raising her hand to try out the tears welling up in her eyes for Li Qiusheng.
She exhaled like an orchid and said, "Li Gongzi, please cooperate with Yinping's next step, Yinping can save Gongzi from fire and water." ”
Li Qiusheng choked up and replied, "Well, Miss Yinping, Li Qiusheng is here to thank you." ”
