The little princess of Qinghua Palace, the wedding date of the second lady of the Hua family is set, and it is scheduled for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

This news spread to thousands of households in just a few days, and became the talk of people after dinner, after all, it was the sister of the dignified Qingzhou governor, who wouldn't be curious? This is not at the base of the outer city wall with their hands basking in the sun A few little old ladies chatted.

"I heard that the man's name is Huang Ming, his ancestors are rich, and he is the boss of the house, which is bigger than where the state lord lives!"

"Isn't it? I went to see it yesterday, oh my God, the gate is so magnificent!"

Another old lady took over the conversation and said, "So it's not a grievance for the second lady?"

The old lady who likes to inquire about the bag said: "This is not necessarily, I heard that this man often goes to the full building!"

"Huamanlou, that brothel, oh, this is terrible, how did the second lady come across such a thing, and the state lord didn't investigate it?" said the old lady with good legs.

At this time, the well-informed Bao inquired about the old lady and said again: "Who knows, I heard that Qinghua Palace also contacted the government army to help the provocation named Huang Ming to take revenge!"

"Ahh

"Also, don't you think that this wedding date is set too hastily? The only closest relative of the state lord to marry, how can it be announced that the whole state will be announced, right? But this time I heard that only our state capital city knows, and no other big city has heard of it!" This old lady who likes to inquire about bags estimates that there are business people in her family, otherwise the situation in other cities will not be so easy to spread here.

"Ah, how many less gifts do you have to receive?" This must be a good housekeeper, and his children are thrifty.

Bao inquired about the old lady and said: "So it is very uncourteous, maybe it will make others hate our Qingzhou and our state lord!"

Of course, there are also things that have nothing to do with herself, and the kind of old lady who hangs high in the air said: "What the is it?

"Yes, yes, I didn't say that I was on fire!" Bao asked the old lady and hurriedly made a compensation, but it didn't take long for her to sprout again: "I also heard that ......"

The old blind man who was also taking a nap at the base of the city wall was really tired of being noisy, and pulled up the sleepy-eyed Zhang Xiaolu and left here, not caring who sent the bag to ask the old lady to muddy the waters, anyway, it was none of his and Zhang Xiaolu's business, and the real things related to him and Zhang Xiaolu had not happened yet, but it was soon.

"Child, what do you want to eat? Just take the old blind man and I'll buy it, let's eat and drink well these days!" The old blind man rubbed the top of Zhang Xiaolu's head, they had been talking nonsense in the Jiujie Hall recently, and they had saved some money in the end.

Zhang Xiaolu looked up at the old blind man's face full of ravines, was silent for a long time, and then burst out of a big smile, pulled the corner of the old blind man's clothes with his hand, and the two walked forward together, and the old blind man also hummed a little song learned from the beggar on the street: "Lotus falls, lotus falls, ten miles of travel and nine miles of slope, and so on, and the idle way is to the flat way, oh, the flat way is also a lot of ......."

Walking all the way, walking all the way, Zhang Xiaolu grabbed the old blind man with one hand, and held a string of rock sugar gourds in the other hand, eating a mouth full of sugar residue, and the old blind man's head, ears, and neck were full of some kitkat toys, especially a whirling wind wheel in his hand, which looked quite funny and fun.

In this way, in the next few days, the old blind man and Zhang Xiaolu walked almost all the lively places in the inner and outer cities, saw all the prosperity of the state capital city, and even stood at the gate of Huamanlou for a while. This situation lasted until the Shangyuan Festival, the wedding date of the second lady of the Hua family.

This day is a rare sunny day, the old blind man and Zhang Xiaolu walked out of the rented old house, today's Zhang Xiaolu is wearing a newly bought shirt, his hair and face are clean, if he doesn't often follow the old blind man to get a little tanned outside, I'm afraid that whoever sees it will praise a good little boy who is carved in pink. It's just that this little boy has tears in his eyes, and from time to time he looks up at the old blind man's old face, and the reluctance he reveals almost buries the old blind man deeply. The two went to Qinghua Palace silently, but they clasped each other's hands to death.

Today is the little princess of Qinghua Palace, the wedding day of the second lady of the Hua family, the people of the state capital city look forward to it from morning to evening, from sunrise to sunset, and then look forward to the moon rising, and they have not seen even a horse or a person's welcoming procession pass by.

Of course, this pro is knotted, but the knot is very low-key, without the slightest publicity, just a few tables of banquets are placed in the main hall in Qinghua Palace, but the banquet is empty, and only one person is drinking with the state lord.

"Haha... I have finally become the son-in-law of the Hua family, in ancient times, this must be regarded as a concubine, right?" Huang Mingzhi was proud, quite crazy.

The state lord didn't drink, but said: "Today I deliberately kept a low profile, saving red tape, lest the second young lady make any more trouble, fortunately, the people in Qinghua Palace are also knowledgeable, no one comes to this hall, you also need to restrain your emotions, don't make extraneous branches!" The voice was tactful and delicate, different from the past.

Huang Ming drank another glass of wine, and said with a red face: "I know this, but it's a pity that the little lady has a delicate face." "After all, there is some dissatisfaction, which is an irreparable shortcoming.

The state lord did not respond, she didn't expect Hua Ning to be so tough and resolute, fortunately, she has been closed for the past few days, and after tonight, everything will be settled, and then find a way to use Hua Ning to find the state lord's seal, then the Holy Lord's plan can be carried out, and then return to the Holy Sect after completion, and how good it is to accompany the Holy Lord.

The hall was brightly lit, but there was not even half a lantern outside the hall, of course the waiters did not dare to come so nonsense, at this time the two elders of the Hua family personally ordered. I can't help but be angry, the sixteen scars on the little Ning'er's face are vivid, but Rao is like this has not been able to dispel the state lord's mind, it really makes people wonder why they have to let Ning Er marry a person from the Huang family who has been treated well by the heads of the family for generations, if you want to marry, wouldn't it be better for you to marry the state lord in the past?

Of course, they only dare to think like this in their hearts, let them go to the state lord to theorize that they will never dare, the name of "Red Lotus" is still in their ears, who dares to touch the tiger's whiskers? So even if Xiao Ning'er didn't even have a welcoming team when she got married, beating gongs and drums was even less served, and even the ritual of worshipping the hall omitted steps, they were angry and angry, at most they only dared to make a fuss about some side matters, and I think that the state lord would not blame them for these innocuous actions.

The sound of "squeak" opening the door sounded, and the office of the two clan elders ushered in a little maid with a sad face, this little maid saw the two clan elders slumped on the chair one by one, looking at the roof with blank eyes, and suddenly became angry, stepped forward and grabbed the beards of the two clan elders and pulled them fiercely.

"Oops, it hurts, my aunt and grandmother are light. ”

"Spare your life!"

The person who came was Hongying, she went to visit Miss and came back, and saw that these two old people were not ashamed of their waste virtues, and said angrily: "Okay, you two are still clan elders, it's just a matter of not helping Miss, and now you are still lazy, Miss is usually so good to you, you are really embarrassed!"

The old man of the two clans had to get up from the chair when he grabbed his beard, Hua Wangyun said: "We don't have no way, but if there is a way, we won't lie here and wait for death!

Hearing this, Hongying said helplessly: "Miss still won't open the door!" sighed, sat down on the chair with a slump of butts, and learned from the old old people of the two clans.

"In fact, there is another way, not only once and for all, but also to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle!" said the elder of the Hua Zhiming clan, who rarely expressed his opinions.

"Oh? Hearing this, Hongying straightened her waist and said.

"Kill that one named Huang Ming!" Hua Zhiming said murderously.

Hua Wangyun and Hongying glanced at each other, turned their heads and didn't look at Hua Zhiming, if you can kill him, will you wait until you come to kill him? If it weren't for Zu Xun and the state lord, he would have disappeared long ago.

"Hey..."

Sure enough, it still didn't work, and the three of them sighed in unison.

Suddenly, there was a noisy noise outside the door, footsteps were loud, and a palace maid ran and shouted: "It's water!"

The three of them had a sudden break in their hearts, could it be......

pressed the bottom of his heart to panic, hurriedly ran out of the door, raised his eyes and looked, sure enough, the tall building where Hua Ning was on fire was on fire.

"Miss!" the red tassel hurried to the firelight.

Qinghua Palace building is mostly built with wood mixed with bricks and stones, once it catches fire, it is very difficult to extinguish, not to mention that the night is dark and the wind is high, the weather is dry, the sleeping palace of Hua Ning is located at a high place, the wind helps the fire, the fire borrows the wind, and after a while, the whole building burns up, and suddenly the fire soars to the sky.

"Miss!" When Hongying arrived, the building had burned down nearly half, but Hua Ning's room had already been engulfed in flames, and the collapsed broken beams were faintly visible.

The red tassel cried out, but was stopped by the waiters who put out the fire.

"See the palace master!"

When the two clan elders arrived, the state lord also arrived, and at this time, a waiter reported: "Palace master, the fire has been burning from the building, and it has become a situation when it is discovered, and it is difficult to extinguish, the second lady, she is afraid..."

"Miss!" Hongying blamed herself very much, only feeling that if she had been by Hua Ning's side, she should have been able to avoid this kind of tragedy, and the worst result would be to be burned by the fire with Hua Ning, which was better than her going on the road alone.

The state lord was silent.

The fire burned from night to the evening of the next day, leaving little trace after nearly a day and a night's work.

At this time, Hongying and the elders of the two clans stood in front of the ashes, watching the state lord and the city garrison rummaging through the ashes.

"There is!" the city garrison took out a piece of charred black from it and put it on the utensils in the open space, and the servants had stepped forward to investigate, and after a while, the servants said: "Lord Yuzhou, the fire is too big, the bones are very badly destroyed, and the age of its bones should be between fourteen and sixteen, although it is impossible to determine the male and female from the bone physiognomy, but its tibia is slender, not like the bones of a man, and the only remaining half of the skull can also be seen that its lord is beautiful, and it is probably the possibility of a woman." ”

The state lord didn't say anything when he heard this, and turned away, leaving only Hongying and the other three to wipe their tears and put the bones into the golden pagoda.

It is said that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, not to mention that the fire in Qinghua Palace burned so big, I'm afraid that most of the city can see it clearly, and the taverns and tea houses in the streets and alleys are all talking about it, some say that the second miss of the Hua family is miserable, and some say that the state lord forced marriage This thing is too much, and even said that the culprit is the one named Huang Ming, anyway, there are nonsense.

On the third floor of Jiujie Hall, the fat boss instructed Yunxi: "Pass the news to Jiuxiang, I thought that there might be a turnaround, but I didn't want to expect such a result." ”

Yunxi went as promised, and ran into the old blind man who was carried upstairs, and avoided it sideways, but smelled a faint fragrance on the person who supported the old blind man, but he didn't think much about it, and went downstairs to do something.

"Yo, the old blind man is not taking your little grandson with him today? Is this a new little granddaughter?" Although a regular customer in the audience knew that the old blind man could not see, he still pointed to the girl who was dressed in plain clothes and wearing a white gauze hat next to the old blind man.

The old blind man raised his arm, pointed to the white cloth belt on his arm with his other hand, and said, "The little grandson left the old blind man and I left, so that the girl who had been at home followed." ”

The regular customer didn't even pay compensation, but the old blind man waved his hand and said: "Everyone has a life, where to go, and the body is the same mountain." "It's kind of unveiled.

Then, he spoke again: "Two days ago, the fire in Qinghua Palace burned one of our two pearls in Qingzhou......"

Seeing the old blind man start to tell the story, the tea guests in the audience and the fat boss of Jiujietang are all in good spirits, although the old blind man does not play strings, does not play drums, does not sing books, and does not knock on the board, but his eloquence is very good, and he has rich experience, and what he said is excellent, which naturally makes the big guy look forward to it.

In this way, who would care more about a mute boy with smart eyes next to an old blind storyteller, and a plain girl wearing a white gauze hat?
