Chapter 182: Blue Out of Blue

The location of the Blessed Wine Shop is located on Queqiao Road in the capital, and the geographical location of the Blessed Wine Shop is the best location in the capital. There is a magpie bridge on its left, which was originally an ordinary crossing bridge built of wood, and then Lu Youfu vigorously publicized it, and moved the story of painting Yan and Xiao Minglang once passing by the magpie bridge in Luling County, in order to better promote his wine shop. It is known that his wine shop has a world-famous portrait.

In this way, it naturally attracted a large number of tourists who came to visit, even more than the business of Forget the Dust Building.

These tourists also do some vassal and elegant things, wear long cloth shirts, sit in the wine shop all day and sing some poems and songs, no one knows where they copied it, only to make a scholarly appearance, people can't climb high.

To the south of the Arifuku sake shop, there is a clear river that surrounds the city.

The willows by the river are fluttering, surrounded by flowers, and the scenery is better than the dusty building.

On this day, on the turquoise river, a small boat came leisurely.

A woman wearing a long red dress and a veil is standing at the bow of the boat, slowly playing the jade flute in her hand.

The boatman wore a hat on his head, sat respectfully in the stern and swung his oars, his head bowed, his face expressionless, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

A clear ancient tune slowly came out of the boat, attracting the attention of many tourists.

"Yikes! Look! The woman in a red dress, a veil on her face, and a jade flute in her hand doesn't look like the woman in the portrait in Cao Youfu's wine shop?! ”

At the window of the liquor store, people have already gathered in a heap.

Someone in the crowd shouted, causing an even bigger commotion.

"That's her! Paint your face! ”

When Cao Youfu heard the movement, he hurriedly ran out of the counter, pushed away the crowd, squeezed to the front, stared at a pair of big eyes, watched the movement on the boat closely, and did not let go of any picture.

"Where? Where? Cao Youfu muttered, a pair of expectant eyes that were always reluctant to transfer.

The boat slowly approached in the direction of Cao Youfu's wine shop, and before the boat could pull aside, the woman in red dropped her flute, tapped her toes, and floated to the shore.

"She can fly! It must be a painting! I've seen her at Guanyin Temple before, and that's absolutely right! The spectator said excitedly.

The woman in red turned and walked into the liquor shop, not seemingly noticing the crowd crowding by the window staring at her, or rather not paying attention to them.

She was like a little girl entering the city for the first time, curious about everything in the store.

She held a fan in her left hand and a piece of pastry in her right hand, entertaining herself as if no one else were there.

Shaking around, she still didn't feel satisfied, stepped on the tea table again, jumped lightly, and jumped to the railing on the second floor to sit.

Everyone exclaimed again, as if they had seen a living bodhisattva-like exclamation.

"Why don't you drink yet?" The woman in red looked down at the crowd looking up at her downstairs and asked, her voice soft, like a soft breeze.

"Come! Come on! Cao Youfu walked to the counter and took two bottles of peach blossom brew, and then cowered and came to the second floor to hand it to the woman in red.

"Miss is slow to use, this meal is a small tribute to the young lady, no money. This is the longest-lasting and best-tasting sake in our shop. ”

The woman in red hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no! This girl is rich! As she spoke, she reached out and pulled into her cuffs, and she didn't see half of it for a long time.

Cao Youfu saw her embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Miss just gave it, and I won't accept it, you can take it back quickly, there is enough good wine and meat in the store." Try this peach blossom brew, but it's your favorite wine. ”

Cao Youfu didn't forget to hand over the wine glass in person, poured it full of wine and handed it to the woman in red.

The woman in red was no longer entangled, and without saying a word, she took a sip and drank it all.

She put down her glass and frowned.

"Miss, is there something that doesn't agree with you?" Cao Youfu asked worriedly.

The woman in red raised her head, looked at him with a pair of bright and clear eyes, and said, "Shopkeeper, why do you say that I like peach blossom brew?" I never remember when I met you! ”

Cao Youfu suddenly realized, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "You don't know me, but I know you," he pointed to the group of people downstairs, "Not only do I know you, they, everyone knows you!"

The spectators finally ushered in the first attention of the woman in red, and they all nodded excitedly.

The woman in red stood up and threw herself herself from head to toe for a while, puzzled, "How can you see it?"

Cao Youfu smiled mysteriously and pointed to a portrait of a very good makeup hanging on the wall.

The woman in red held a wine glass, slowly moved forward, pestled her head, and looked at the painting carefully for a while.

The spectators followed her two steps to the left and three steps back to the right, and suddenly, she clapped her hands and raised her voice: "Isn't this Uncle Shi!" Wrong...... Isn't this my painting? ”

Cao Youfu cautiously stood in front of the portrait, "Miss, don't be kidding, I've treasured this painting for many years, you won't want to take it away, right?!" ”

The woman in red thought for a moment and wondered: "Shopkeeper, this painting is not good at all, why do you keep it, it's really an eyesore!" Besides, do you recognize me, what does it have to do with this portrait? ”

"Because the person in the portrait is you!" Everyone said in unison.

"Me?!" The woman in red pointed at herself in surprise.

"You're mistaken, this is my uncle...... Just as she was about to explain something, another group of people suddenly broke in outside the door.

A man dressed in an official uniform and wearing an official hat walked in majestically, he came to the center of the crowd on the first floor, looked around, suddenly walked in to a visitor, and asked with a pleasant face: "Where is the queen mother now?"

This question frightened him a lot, how could he know the trace of the queen's mother.

It turned out that he was a foreigner, and he only heard Cao Youfu tell half of the legendary story about Huayan, and he didn't know the true identity of the queen mother who had only been a few months old.

The official changed the wording again and asked, "Do you know where the painting is now?"

The spectator instantly understood, looked up and pointed to the woman in red who was looking at the bustle and said, "Isn't the painting there!"

The official looked up, stunned, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his legs knelt down, "Chentai Mingyue, see the queen's mother!" The minister never thought that he would be able to see you again in this life, and the minister ......" Before he finished speaking, he choked up in his throat.

The woman in red looked left and right, pointed at herself blankly, and said, "Are you talking to me?" I'm not a queen, I'm just ......."

Tantai Mingyue didn't seem to hear the answer of the woman in red, and still wiped her tears while interrupting in a choked voice: "You don't know, these days when you are away, the emperor has ...... All sick! Go back and see him! ”

The woman in red asked worriedly, "Is he sick?" What disease do you have? What did the doctor say? ”

Tantai Mingyue heard the words of the woman in red again, and quickly stood up and said, "Depressed, because the emperor misses you so much, he can't sleep all day long, he can't sleep in his dreams, and he has lost a lot of weight!"

The woman in red lowered her head and thought about it, and said, "I'll go see him again when I have the chance, I have studied with the Third Master for a few years, but I have learned his strange tricks almost the same, I think I should be able to cure him, you can rest assured, don't cry anymore."

Yutai Mingyue was slightly stunned, and said, "Why don't you follow me into the palace immediately to meet the emperor?"

The woman in red was embarrassed in every possible way: "I can't leave now, and the things that Master explained to me haven't been done yet!"

Mingyue slowly walked up to the second floor and said further: "Human life is a matter of heaven, not to mention, it is related to the safety of the emperor, and the queen mother can leave everything to the minister!"

The woman in red scratched her head and was about to answer, but saw another person coming outside the door.

That person is in a shuttle suit and wears a hat, isn't it the boatman just now!

He walked up to the man in silence, pulled down the brim of his hat, and said in a deep voice, "She has already said that she is not a queen."

Tantai Mingyue calmly looked down, put her hands behind her back, and asked, "Who are you?"

The man did not answer, he walked up the stairs step by step, and suddenly took the hand of the woman in red to go downstairs.

The woman in red said anxiously: "Xiao Wu, you wait, there is a patient waiting for me......"

"His illness is not something you can cure, let's go." The man dragged the woman in red down the stairs.

"Wait!" The bright moon said in a solemn voice.

The guards downstairs instantly surrounded the liquor store, blocking the man's way.

The man stood still, turned around, and said, "What else do you have to do?"

"Whether to leave or stay or be the queen has the final say, you have no right to ask." Yutai Mingyue said calmly.

The man's brows sank, and he said coldly: "You obviously know that she is not the person you are looking for." Since you don't bother, I'll play with you. ”

As he spoke, the man pushed away the guards who were standing in front of him, and the guards standing in a row fell to the ground one by one like bone mino.

Yutai Mingyue couldn't stand still, and finally waved her hand and shouted angrily: "Protect the queen mother, take him down!"

"Yes!" With a shout from the guards, the long knives that had been hidden under the armor came out one after another, and stabbed at the man at the same time.

The man was not in a hurry, opened his bow left and right, and easily hit batch after batch.

The woman in red jumped up sharply and shouted, "Stop fighting!" Stop it! ”

Yet no one responded.

The woman in red couldn't, so she had to turn to Mingyue and shout, "Hurry up and let them stop!" He's my friend! Not a bad guy! ”

Mingyueyun said lightly: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the minister will definitely take you back safely, the emperor is still waiting for you in the palace!"

The woman in red was sweating profusely, "I didn't tell you, I'm not a queen!" As she spoke, she tore off the veil on her face and said hurriedly: "You see clearly! My name is Qing Dai, not the woman in the portrait! ”

At this moment, everyone was still, and their eyes changed from anticipation to gloom.

Yutai Mingyue sighed lightly, raised her hand, and stopped the guards. He walked downstairs slowly and bowed to Qing Dai and Xiao Wu, "It turns out that I recognized the wrong person below, please be magnanimous and forgive me!" ”

It turned out that as soon as the woman in red, who looked very much like a painting, appeared in Cao Youfu's wine shop, it instantly caused a sensation in the entire capital.

And the emperor has recently become ill because of missing the queen, and the savior of the bright moon in Taitai was anxious, so he rushed over non-stop.

In fact, he recognized from the first glance that this woman was not really painted face, but he still sighed at the similarity between her and the painted face, thinking that he could seek some comfort for the emperor, but he never wanted to kill halfway and bite the gold, ruining his plan. He didn't want to embarrass them, so he took his leave.

Qing Dai was also taken out of the crowd by Xiao Wu and walked into the deep alley.

The spectators also dispersed in disappointment.

The shopkeeper Cao Youfu put the wine jug in his arms again, and took back the wine cellar stupidly, muttering to himself, "Another fake ......"
