Volume 1 A Changing Drum: Flowers Bloom on Mo, Two Acacia Chapter 92 The Zen Monastery Introduction
|? ยขยขยขยขยข He Zhitang looked at the candle flame in front of him, and his mood was swaying like a fluttering flame. Qi Zhengxiu really doesn't care? Or is it Li Dai Taozhuang? If he really understood his purpose and could put on such a posture, this man's mind would be too terrifying. She was no match for him at all.
He Zhitang's first discovery of people's hearts is really the most unpredictable. Qi Zhengxiu's heart is like a bottomless spring. She couldn't see the shadow, she only felt dizzy. Understand. She took out Qi Zhengxiu's letter again and looked at it repeatedly. If you don't look at the back, the text at the beginning is really beautiful, so beautiful that she just wants to get drunk in his tenderness. Did he really just accept Xiao Tao as a concubine for the sake of face? Believe him or not?
After struggling repeatedly for a long time, He Zhitang's heart is horizontal, or not, in this life, bet this time. Trust Him. In any case, you can't have a flat wife before you pass the door.
He Zhitang opened the door, and Yun Niang waited outside the door: "Miss, what are your orders?" "It's a lot of fun.
He Zhitang took a deep breath and said lightly: "Get Taoyi back." Be quick! โ
"Why?" Yun Niang was stunned, why did she come back now.
"Go. It is necessary to block Ye Guang's mouth in front of Gongzi Qi. The eldest lady instructed lightly, "After finding Taoyi, bring her back safely." After the eldest lady finished speaking, she turned back without any expression.
Yun Niang was a little confused, but since the eldest lady ordered so. I had no choice but to do it. Ahead of Qi Gongzi? Does that mean that Qi Gongzi is also going to find Ye Guang? When Gongzi Qi found Ye Guang, wouldn't everything be exposed? Yun Niang suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
In the camp outside Haozhou City, Qi Zhengxiu did not order a soldier to go to Yunwan Village to inquire about the whereabouts of Ye Guang or Xiao Tao. The war is tight, how can there be extra troops sent to Yunwan Village. His trick is suspicious, and it may not be effective against the enemy, but it is more than enough to deal with He Zhitang. Then the little peach will be safe.
The people sent by He Zhitang left for two days. Her heart hung in the air for two days. In the past, she only hoped that Xiao Tao would go as far as possible, and it was best never to appear in front of her again, but now she was worried that she would not be found.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Tao came back by herself. The carriage stopped at the gate of the Hefu Courtyard, and Xiao Tao instructed the old man who was driving the car: "Don't leave yet, I'll go in and have a look." "She has to see if the eldest lady is there, if the eldest lady is here, it's okay, if the eldest lady is still in Anhua Temple, she has to leave quickly, otherwise the second lady will see her and have to drive her out.
When He Zhitang heard the news of Xiao Tao's return, he couldn't hold back his surprise, and waited until Yun Niang brought the refreshing Xiao Tao to her. Fang Cai came back to his senses, took Xiao Tao's hand, looked at her and said gently: "You are back, I am worried to death." This statement is not false today.
Xiao Tao only felt a tremor in her heart, and pulled the eldest lady's sleeve and cried unconsciously. He Zhitang reached out and patted her back, and said lightly: "It's good to come back." What are you crying about? But have you been wronged? Seeing Xiao Tao crying so sadly, He Zhitang estimated that Ye Guang must have bullied Xiao Tao, and he felt a little indescribable in his heart for a while.
Xiao Tao shook her head, looked up and said to Yun Niang: "Please help me go outside the door first, give this silver to the old man who pulled the carriage and brought me back, and then say thank you to him." Xiao Tao took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Niang. Yun Niang hooked the corners of her lips, glanced at the eldest lady, took the silver and went out.
The eldest lady helped Xiao Tao sit down and patted her back gently: "Say it slowly." Where did the money come from? โ
Xiao Tao sat down and rested, and told the eldest lady everything along the way, but after going to Kaifeng, she didn't talk about Zhao Gongzi's affairs in detail, only that she found Zhao Gongzi, and Zhao Gongzi helped her with some silver, so she had the money to hire a carriage to go back to Jinling.
He Zhitang's heart, with Xiao Tao's narration, also fluctuated. In the face of Xiao Tao's peace, she was a little relieved, a little annoyed, a little unwilling, and a little relaxed, she couldn't tell what she was like. Although she was jealous of Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao told everything about her as a relative, and she couldn't bear it. What complicated feelings.
After a while, He Zhitang smiled at Xiao Tao: "It's good to come back." The room is still reserved for you, Yun Niang is cleaned every day. Go and rest. After a pause, he said, "Don't serve me at night." Rest well and talk to your little sister again. Perhaps, you won't be able to see each other often in the future. โ
Xiao Tao was stunned, and the eldest lady patted her on the back: "Go quickly." Xiao Tao nodded, got up and walked quickly back to the room.
The eldest lady looked at Xiao Tao's back and let out a long sigh of relief. It is also tiring to deliberately make a concerned and warm expression.
Xiao Tao ran back to the house to put her things away, and hurriedly ran to her mother's house. My mother is cleaning up things in the house, and after cleaning up for a while, she will be in a daze, and then wipe her tears. She's leaving, but Xiao Tao hasn't come back yet, and she doesn't know what happened to her being Ye Guang's bastard. The eldest lady said that she had sent someone to look for her, but she didn't see any anxiety when she looked at the situation of the eldest lady in the past few days. There was no news from the people who sent him, and there was no news from Xiao Tao. Is there anyone looking for it? Or is the eldest lady fooling her? Xiao Tao is finished, Ye Guang's bastard must seize the opportunity to bully Xiao Tao???? was worried and entangled, and a familiar head poked into the door, giggling: "Niang! โ
The young lady wiped her eyes, yes, it's her? I pinched my arm again, it hurts, it's not a dream! Tengdi jumped up from the stool, rushed over and hugged Xiao Tao and didn't let go: "You're finally back, I'm scared to death." As he spoke, he began to cry.
Xiao Tao rubbed her mother's back: "Okay, okay, don't I stand here well?" I'll see you as soon as I get back. I'm not thinking about you the most. โ
The girl burst into tears and laughed: "It's still stupid." As he spoke, he dragged Xiao Tao to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Tell me quickly, Ye Guang didn't bully you." โ
The girl ran to close the door, jumped on the bed and pulled up the curtain, on the dim bed, the little peach was green, the mother was red, and the two sat cross-legged. Xiao Tao snorted and laughed: "Thanks to your dagger, I ran away from Ye Guangzha and escaped." Saying that, he told the girl in detail about the things along the way.
After hearing this, the young lady couldn't help but say: "That Zhao Gongzi is really interested in you." He sighed again, "It's a pity, it's a Zhou person." And in your heart, you are thinking about Qi Gongzi again. It can only be fateful. โ
Xiao Tao's face turned red, and she spat at her mother: "What kind of fate, don't be ashamed." Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "I saw you packing your things just now, where are you going?" โ
Mi Niang's eyes sank, and she bit her lip and said, "The Six Princes' Mansion." โ
"Huh?" Xiao Tao's eyes widened, the sixth prince? That month, the white robe with a noble face and the six princes with two eyes? Isn't that the person that my mother has in mind? She was so happy that she could go to his house. But looking at the expression of the young lady, it doesn't look like she is particularly happy.
Xiao Tao rubbed her mother's head: "Are you crazy with joy, or are you stupid with joy, why do you look so weird?" Dejected. โ
Mi Niang barely squeezed out a smile, she didn't know what to say.
That day, she hurriedly went to Anhua Temple to find the eldest lady. After a bumpy ride, a carriage, and another run, I finally limped to Anhua Temple at night and found the eldest lady.
After the young lady told the eldest lady what had happened, the eldest lady quickly ordered her subordinates to go along the official road to find Xiao Tao. My mother's heart was also slightly relaxed. With the eldest lady coming forward, Xiao Tao should be saved.
It was getting late, so my mother stayed in Anhua Temple and did not go back. The eldest lady asked her to go back to Hefu Courtyard in two days. Yun Niang interjected on the side: "Go back so early? โ
The eldest lady nodded and said, "Taoyi's whereabouts are still unknown, I'm always a little worried, it's more convenient to go back and ask." Moreover, the six princes also came to Anhua Temple today to chant and worship the Buddha, although they also know the six princes, but it is always inconvenient, so it is better to go back as soon as possible. Then he instructed Yun Niang, "You go and arrange it tomorrow, and you will leave in two days." โ
Yun Niang nodded yes. Mi Niang's heart is beating with a "tom", the sixth prince is here? Mi Niang had also heard the dancing girl of Yaotai Pavilion talk about the six princes' good gifts to the Buddha before. The crown prince is good at martial arts and war, and the six princes are just the opposite, weak and powerful, working in poetry, songs, music, calligraphy and painting, especially respecting the Buddha, and spending a lot of silver every year to give temple monks. But I didn't expect that such a coincidence could be in Anhua Temple.
According to the rules, the eldest lady took Yun Niang Ruosu and others to the sixth prince to greet him after dinner. The young lady has some regrets, but it's a pity that she is a dancing girl, if it is a maid serving the eldest lady, you can also go to meet the six princes together. I can't help but feel a little lost.
That night, the mother lay down early, but she couldn't sleep, thinking that the sixth prince was not far away, her heart was beating suddenly. At the time of the third watch, he simply got up and walked out of the bedroom with his clothes on. Listening to the people's discussions, the six princes seemed to be in the east wing, and the young lady relaxed her steps and walked east.
There was no sound around, and occasionally there was an intermittent sound of flutes, as if trying to tune in. The girl followed the sound and saw that on the stone bench in the courtyard of the east wing, the six princes dressed in moon white were playing the flute, but some things were not smooth, and some places repeated several sounds, still jerky.
Mi Niang's heart was beating fast, and she walked straight towards the six princes as if she had been hit by a Gu. But she didn't take two steps, and there were already guards who came out of nowhere in front of her: "Don't enter." โ
The sixth prince looked at his mother in the moonlight, and smiled faintly: "It's you?" Come on in. Only then did the guard make his debut and bowed to the side.
The mother is warm in her heart, and the six princes have always been able to recognize her. He walked over in a curling manner and boldly asked, "Is the prince trying out the song?" โ
