Volume 2 The Second Drum Watch: The Spring of the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and the Moon are Strong Chapter 217 It's not too late to say goodbye
So Xiao Tao found Qi Zhengxiu. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing, but she was protecting herself. Moreover, she repeatedly told herself that she liked Qi Gongzi, didn't she?
That night, Xiao Tao slept soundly in the outer room. Qi Zhengxiu was a little tossing and turning inside. Xiao Tao has changed, and the maturity of his heart has changed quickly, as if overnight. But what made him feel even more uncomfortable was Xiao Tao's feelings for him, which seemed to have changed. At some point, when she looked at him, her eyes were no longer as radiant as before, but hollow. This made his heart inexplicably panicked.
Early the next morning, Qi Zhengxiu had just woken up, and Xiao Tao had already heard the voice and brought Xiuju in to serve. Xiao Tao was very meticulous, the water he fetched for Qi Zhengxiu was lukewarm, and he handed over the towel no morning or evening after he washed. Said softly, "Childe sit down." Xiao Tao tied up Childe's hair. ”
Qi Zhengxiu sat down with a light smile, watched Xiao Tao's dexterous hands fly in the bronze mirror, and quickly tied his ink-like hair into the jade crown, which was more delicate than the maids in his house. Dressed in a madder dress, softer than yesterday's water red, she stood quietly beside herself. Running his hair with a focused expression, Qi Zhengxiu was a little stunned for a moment. Xiao Tao tied Qi Zhengxiu's hair crown, and was about to speak, when Qi Zhengxiu's hand was held violently, looking at her in the mirror, Qi Zhengxiu wanted to ask, but still didn't ask.
Xiao Tao also looked at Qi Zhengxiu and herself in the mirror, dressed in frost white with a red color, holding hands and leaning on each other, isn't this exactly the scene she dreamed of before? It's just that when this day really comes, why don't you be as throbbed and flustered as before? Perhaps, it's because I'm getting old. Little Peach muttered a little. His expression was very empty, as if he was saying to Qi Zhengxiu and to himself: "Childe, my heart is the same as before." ”
Qi Zhengxiu's heart was a little tight, and the question he wanted to ask had no exit, but Xiao Tao said the answer he wanted to hear as if he understood his heart, but this answer always felt a little less affection, but a little more oath. Qi Zhengxiu put Xiao Tao's hand to his lips and said softly, "I know." ”
Xiao Tao's body tightened, and he pulled his hand out gently, Qi Zhengxiu stood up and said lightly: "I'll come back in the evening." Xiao Tao snorted and put the cloak on Qi Zhengxiu. Seeing Qi Zhengxiu's figure going out, he was a little tired.
Qi Zhengxiu lived in Taoyuan for half a month, went out to run errands during the day, and stayed in Taoyuan at night. The entire Jinling City knows that the official prostitutes from the fourth grade now have a master. This master is not easy for ordinary people to provoke, and it is not easy for others to pester.
The lace news of Fengyue Field always spreads quickly, especially when it comes to paying attention to this matter. Zhao Guangyi, who is in Bianliang, also knows that Xiao Tao is now starting to act in front of the stage, not only has she become a famous prostitute in Jinling City, but Qi Zhengxiu is also her guest of the scene. This kind of day is what she dreams of, right? Famous far and wide, and his beloved lived and lived together-Zhao Guangyi thought of this, and his heart was suffocated for a while. Since accepting Li Yue'e, he rarely goes back to the house, and even when he goes back, he only sleeps alone in the study, except for being drunk, he is drunk.
Later, I added a problem.,I like to go to Fengyue places.。 In the past, his colleagues in the DPRK and China invited him to go to those places, but he dismissed them and scoffed at them. But now, he likes to go, especially to watch the dancing girls. Although Bianliang's singing and dancing are really not comparable to Jinling, whether it is the delicacy of the scene or the level of the singers and dancers, they are too much worse than Jinling. But Zhao Guangyi still likes to watch, the red sleeves full of the stage, turning around, he seems to see his Taoyi, dancing in the peach forest, dancing in the yard, and asking him if he looks good. She would smile and draw ugly pictures to say that it was him, and she would also draw his words one by one, but she still left, left! She became Qi Zhengxiu's woman again! Slut, slut, when Zhao Guangyi is drunk, he will repeatedly scold in his heart, but even if he is drunk, he can't scold, he can't give up, he can't bear it. On the garbage with chastity.
In September, Li Chongjin in Yangzhou raised troops to rebel. Zhao Guangyi once again applied to lead troops into battle. Only by fighting can he feel that he is still alive. Zhao Kuangyin agreed. Zhao Guangyi, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi and others led their troops to attack the south first. Li Chongjin's territory is in the Yangzhou area, and the further south he goes, Zhao Guangyi's heart has an indescribable feeling. The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River made him a little bit of a sight and a little thinking about people. Yangzhou is not far from Yunwan Village, after Zhao Guangyi set up the camp, it will take time to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive one after another, Zhao Guangyi simply beat the horse and spent a day and a night to rush to Yunwan Village. The cabin was still there, but there was a lot of dust, Zhao Guangyi wiped the dust on the table with his sleeve, and sat there for a day. It wasn't until sunset that he got out of the wooden house, met the Dai family in the village, looked at Zhao Guangyi and asked in surprise, "Mr. is back?" After a pause, he said, "Is Madame back too?" ”
Zhao Guangyi hooked his lips, did not say a word, and strode towards the outside of the village. The sunset hooked his shadow a little lonely.
Li Chongjin's army did not last long, and Zhao Kuangyin also came to Yangzhou in October to drive the expedition, and the morale of the Great Song Dynasty was boosted, and he soon attacked Yangzhou City. In November, the city was broken, Li Chongjin was defeated, and his family set himself on fire.
Zhao Kuangyin's personal expedition for more than a month is simply like a year for Li Jing. Yangzhou is just north of the Yangtze River, close to the Yangtze River, and Jinling is just south of the Yangtze River, across a river, how can Li Jing sit safely? From time to time, people were sent to secretly inquire about the news on the border, and they were terrified at the slightest disturbance.
At the beginning, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty drew the river as the boundary, the north of the Yangtze River was the Later Zhou, and the south of the Yangtze River was the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing was afraid that he would cross the river and hit Jinling, so he really couldn't deal with it. It was easy to suffer Zhao Kuangyin and lead the troops back to Bianliang, and Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief. But he couldn't help but be afraid, fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin didn't make any moves this time, but the location of Jinling as the capital was really inappropriate. It is separated from the Great Song Dynasty by a river, and in case the Great Song Dynasty has any different intentions, there is no buffer zone at all.
Li Jing finally made up his mind and prepared to move the capital.
After the Spring Festival, Li Jing issued an edict to set up the sixth prince Li Congjia as the crown prince and stay in Jinling to supervise the country. And Li Jing took his ministers and went up the river to Nanchang Mansion in Hongzhou. Nanchang Mansion was officially designated as the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although Qi Zhengxiu was idle, he was also a courtier after all, and he went to Nanchang Mansion with Li Jing.
Huayuefang is still in Jinling and has not been relocated. Xiao Tao didn't know how long Qi Zhengxiu would have to go. Although there is sadness and reluctance, there is no heart-rending pull in the past. Xiao Tao took a day off from Honggu and went to Qi Zhengxiu's mansion to help him pack up.
Qi Gongzi's favorite paper in Wufu Town, Sheyan Hui ink, and small peaches were all packed up one by one, and said with a casual smile: "Gongzi likes rainy days, I heard that the rain in Nanchang Mansion is more and heavier than that in Jinling." ”
Qi Zhengxiu's heart fluttered, she still remembered what he liked, she couldn't help but reach out and cover Xiao Tao's hand, leaned down and was very close to Xiao Tao, the sound of breathing was clear in Xiao Tao's ears, and said softly: "Don't worry, after a while, Nandu will settle down, and Huayuefang will also move." ”
Xiao Tao was stunned, lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm not in a hurry." That's true. I still remember the last time Qi Zhengxiu said goodbye without saying goodbye, Xiao Tao only felt like he had his heart slashed, but this time it was also a separation, Xiao Tao was just sour, and there was no tearing pain. After all, I grew up.
It's just that the words came out in a low voice, and they had a bit of a charming taste. Qi Zhengxiu's heart thumped a few times, he raised his hand to stroke Xiao Tao's hair, closed his eyes slightly, and covered Xiao Tao's with his lower lip, but at the moment when he just touched Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao suddenly turned his head over, and smiled at Qi Zhengxiu as if he remembered something: "By the way, Childe, I almost forgot one thing." ”
Qi Zhengxiu opened his eyes, Xiao Tao pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't know when Childe will come back after leaving, in case the peach blossoms on my body are lighter, I won't be able to go out to dance." Why don't you give me the paint, and I'll make up it myself when the color is light. ”
Qi Zhengxiu turned around and took out a box from the shelf, took out a thin pen, didn't speak, just gently untied Xiao Tao's clothes, revealing the original tattoo, dipped the pen in paint, and traced the peach blossom carefully.
Xiao Tao didn't move, and let Qi Zhengxiu meticulously dot paint on herself. And Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu carefully, I don't know when, Qi Gongzi can make himself so at ease. But he can also make himself so comfortable. The shyness, shyness, and heart of the past are like a deer, and they have all passed away suddenly. Even avoiding Qi Gongzi's kiss just now can be free without embarrassment. But why hide? She likes Qi Gongzi. She was a little confused.
Qi Zhengxiu finished painting, put away the pen and paint, and said with a faint smile: "When the color is light, I will come back and make up for you." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Tao and asked softly, "Do you want to stay tonight?" ”
Xiao Tao's face was a little stiff, and she looked at the table, thinking about her words: "Childe, I, at night-"
Before she finished speaking, Qi Zhengxiu hooked his lips and smiled: "Tease you, I'm going to leave in the evening." After a pause, he said, "It's not early, you can go back." ”
Xiao Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to Huayuefang after saying goodbye to Qi Zhengxiu.
Qi Zhengxiu looked at Xiao Tao's back, and the smile on his face disappeared. He instructed his subordinates: "Load the things on the cart and set off tomorrow morning." ”
For the six princes to be the crown prince, Xiao Tao was both happy and entangled. I am happy that my mother's life is getting richer and richer, and the entangled thing is that the higher the status of the six princes, the more difficult it is to see my mother. I didn't see my mother when I returned to Jinling this time, so I could only pass some things to her through Qi Gongzi. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future.
As for Li Congjia as the crown prince, Da Song's reaction was unexpectedly enthusiastic. Unlike when Hou Zhou vigorously opposed Li Hongji's accession to the throne, this time the Great Song Dynasty sent envoys to Jinling to congratulate him.
