Chapter 111: The road is narrow
Baili Jiu shrunk his neck with a smile on his face, and his face was full of impropriety: "After all, the emperor is so partial to the second brother, I am really a little worried, what if one day you look at Nuo'er more and more pleasing to the eye, and rob her to be your own daughter-in-law?" Haven't I found a place to cry? You can only start first and pull it into your own bowl for insurance. ”
Baili Jiu held Noah's hand tightly, and she could feel his desperate determination. Now is the most critical time, and the emperor needs her and Bailijiu to work hard for Chu Qingchen, so it is a good time to negotiate. However, he also took a bit of a risk in doing so, the emperor's heart was moody, what if he felt that he was being coerced by the opportunity, and he was annoyed and angry?
The emperor lowered his eyelids, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip. The more he hesitated like this, the more Bailijiu and Noah's hearts sank, and they sweated nervously.
"Sleeve Hui, bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone." The emperor put down the teacup and said to Mrs. Hui outside the cabin,
Mrs. Hui's song is also coming to an end. She came in with Yaoqin in her arms and smiled slightly at Nuoya: "I haven't thanked you for saving Qingchen last time, and I have misunderstood that I have done something inappropriate for a while, so don't take it to heart." ”
The voice of the speaker was as soft as a spring breeze, and Chu Qingchen's bearing was very similar to her.
"Aunt Hui is too polite, I have always been taken care of by the second prince, so I should do it." Noah humbled in.
Bailijiu on the side snorted softly from his nostrils in protest.
Mrs. Hui took the pen and ink, spread the rice paper in the emperor's hand, and handed it over with a small pen.
The emperor only groaned slightly, then bowed his head and danced with the dragon and phoenix, and in an instant, he handed it to Baili Jiu: "There is no holy decree here, so let's set up a word for the time being." ”
Baili Jiu happily took it in his hand, blew dry the ink, and said to the emperor flatteringly and laughing: "Thank you, the emperor, the emperor is wise and martial." ”
"In black and white, so you can rest assured, right?"
"Peace of mind, I'm afraid I'm going to wake up laughing when I fall asleep now."
One sentence made Noah blush, and said in a low voice: "Breath." But the heart is tender and rippling, overjoyed.
The two did not dare to stay for a long time, so they withdrew and returned to their boat, seeing that the emperor's painting boat was gradually moving closer to the shore, and Mrs. Hui abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and got on a waiting Wupeng carriage, and then two scholars dressed as people got on their boat.
Bailijiu and Noya glanced at each other, the emperor seemed to be light and light, and he was sure of victory, but he acted so cautiously, it seems that the situation in the court is not optimistic, and it is already in crisis. The burden on their shoulders grew heavier.
Sour Xiucai and the big man were sitting upright drinking wine, and the two courtesans on the side were lying on the table and sleeping soundly.
Baili Jiu shook his head and said helplessly: "The nephrite jade next to him is warm and fragrant, and you two old men actually drink by themselves regardless of it, if you two say that there is no adultery or love, who will believe it?" ”
"Yes, if you don't understand the amorous feelings, you two deserve not to marry a daughter-in-law." Noah immediately added a sentence on the side, and fell into the well.
Sour Xiucai and the eldest man put down their wine glasses, as if they had discussed it in advance, and said to Baili Jiu in unison: "The ninth master is a veteran of Fengyue, and such a thing still needs to be taught by the ninth master." What else can we do if we don't drink? ”
"Such a beautiful day, spend a good moon night, naturally kiss the mouth, pull hands, Xiangge warm the bed and sleep for a night, reach out to touch the silk on both sides of the sister, reach out to touch the sister's small nose needle, reach out to touch the sister's rib bay......"
Baili Jiuyi got carried away for a while, forgetting that Noah was still around, and actually shook his head and hummed. Fang just sang a few words, felt that the eyes around him were like knives, and a stirring reaction came over his body, and he immediately stopped and changed his style: "Be a man like Liu Xia Hui, sit without chaos and don't be greedy, the east and west are short, and they sit all night." ”
Sour Xiucai and the big man finally couldn't help it, burst out laughing, leaning forward and backward with laughter, out of breath.
Noya's originally angry face gradually eased up, and she was angry and funny: "In this case, the ninth master will do it tonight, don't go back to the general's mansion, just stay with these two girls on the warm bed in the Xiangge and sit opposite each other." But don't let down such a watery night and beautiful scenery. ”
The two girls gradually woke up and turned around, only to say that the wine was too mellow, and took a nap, and happened to hear Nuoya ridiculing Baili Jiu like this, and hurriedly said rudeness, eyebrows and eyes: "It's the first time I've heard that we have been invited to accompany you to chatter, and you are so unique Yaxing." ”
Noah pursed her lips and smiled, and several people were talking and laughing, and just as they were pleasant, they heard a commotion on the lake, and many boats scattered in panic. Looking at the shore again, there is a long line of torches, and the entire lake seems to be surrounded.
"What happened?" Everyone was a little surprised, and the boatman stopped what he was doing.
Sour Xiucai stood up and looked over, saw a painting boat speeding over, and asked, "Dare to ask the boatman, what happened on the shore?" ”
The boatman's subordinates kept coming, and they couldn't wait to give birth to two more arms: "The government came to investigate the prostitutes and prostitutes of officials, look at your dress, hurry up and hide." ”
"The government investigates prostitutes and prostitutes?" Sour Xiucai was a little surprised, the imperial court did clearly stipulate that court officials were not allowed to enter and leave the Qinglou fireworks, but it was just an ornament, almost half of the gold dust rouge alleys in Da Chu were officials of Da Chu. In private, everyone is not ashamed at all, they just talk about this topic in a romantic voice, and often talk about this topic on the tea shop and liquor case, and the court has never taken care of it, why did they think of it today and investigate it strictly? And I don't go to the Qinglou, but go to this lakeside painting boat, there are nearly half of the Qing officials in it, and many people just come to listen to the music purely to find an elegant style.
For example, Sour Xiucai.
"Ninth Master, what should I do? Let's run away, shall we? "The big man doesn't want to have such a bad reputation in the barracks.
"I'm not a court official now, what am I afraid of?" Baili Jiuji said disdainfully: "Besides, according to the Ninth Master's bad reputation, what is so strange about seeing me here?" ”
"But I'm just a chick, if I am caught, won't I die unjustly?" Sour Xiucai said with a sad face.
"Why is it that every time I follow you, nothing good happens? I didn't eat the fish and fell fishy. The big one complained on the sidelines.
"You also listened to the tune, and the beauty also watched it, and you didn't have the courage to eat it and blame me?" Sour Xiucai muttered unconvinced.
The boatman at the stern of the boat came in and asked for instructions, should he turn around and go back, or continue to move forward with the wind?
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had gradually surrounded the entire lake, the painting boats that had fled when they heard the wind had no way to escape and all returned and gathered towards the center of the lake. The boats of the officers and men also began to approach the center of the lake from all directions.
Bailijiu said disdainfully: "Let's go straight to meet it, I want to see what medicine is being sold in this gourd?" ”
"Don't mind." Sour Xiucai was a thief with a weak heart, and hurriedly stopped: "This reputation is really not good, and the brothers don't laugh when they go back." ”
Noya covered her lips and smiled, the most sharp-eyed, pointing to the lotus bush in the center of the lake, where there was a small boat, the size of a farmer's lotus picking boat, with two pointed ends, gently rippling with the water waves, turning her head to a few people: "If you are afraid, just take the small boat and escape, and it will be okay to break off the relationship with us." ”
Sour Xiucai raised his eyes to look at the boat, which was not much more spacious than a wooden basin, and said worriedly: "If I sit in it, it will be fine, as soon as the big man enters, it will sink immediately." ”
Bailijiu raised his eyes to look at Nuoya, his eyes flashed, and he had bad intentions: "If you don't sit, then I'm not welcome." ”
"Leave us two men and two women, won't we jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it?" Sour Xiucai hurriedly said.
But Baili Jiu didn't wait for the sour show to regret it, took Nuoya's hand and jumped lightly, like a shock, landing on the boat. The boat swayed from side to side, almost throwing the two of them into the water. Noah screamed in fright and hugged Baili Jiu's waist tightly.
"Someone wants to escape!" Immediately, sharp-eyed officers and soldiers discovered the whereabouts of the two men, pointed at them and shouted, and then quickly approached them, and the two instantly became the target of the public, and the other painting boats took the opportunity to flee and flee, and scattered in a hurry, and all the officers and soldiers turned a blind eye.
What's going on? It's clear that it's for me. Bailijiu couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart. Sour Xiucai and the big man also understood, and the thief smiled and threw a look of self-seeking happiness at him, and fled with a swing.
Noya and Bailijiu stood on top of the boat, making painless jokes, talking and laughing, and did not look at the officers and soldiers who rushed from all directions.
The soldiers gradually approached, it was the Beijing Patrol Army, Bailijiu's old subordinates. They naturally knew Baili Jiu, and in embarrassment, they said hello in unison: "Hello Ninth Master." ”
Baili Jiu smiled and waved his hand, as if he was reviewing the soldiers: "The brothers have worked hard. ”
"Hey, Ninth Master, you're so majestic!"
With a strange ridicule, the two boats separated, making way for a passage, and a painting boat that came close behind stood a man dressed as a military general, and the road was narrow, it was Sun Shijin. He must have wanted to show off his skills, and with a little step, his body rose into the air, and he volleyed towards the ship in front of him.
Sun Shijin is extremely stable, but he is not good at light body kung fu, Nuoya saw the flaw at a glance, and picked a petal from the lotus flower on the side, and flicked his fingers, it was a leaf picking and flying flower, which penetrated her internal force, and fell on the crook of his knee, which hurt a few points more than a stone.
Noya was angry with his sarcasm that was neither yin nor yang, new and old accounts, so naturally he had to give him some color to see, your ninth master is so majestic.
Sure enough, it was not what she expected, Sun Shijin was hit in the knee, gasped for cold air, and the qi of luck was dispersed, and the whole body fell straight down in mid-air, "plopping" into the lake, splashing a huge splash.
