26. Drink tea at night
As night fell, the lights of the Governor were bright, and with the noisy sound of horses' hooves, a team of men and horses rushed in.
The originally quiet Du Cha Si suddenly became lively.
Some people greet each other, some people discuss what to eat at night, some people are in a hurry to go home, and the fierce guards in the eyes of the world are closed doors, but in fact, they are all ordinary people, with families and relatives.
In addition to the lively laughter, the atmosphere was also more lively than usual, and a bouquet of red, red and white plum blossoms bloomed in the gloomy courtyard of the Metropolitan Inspectorate.
Zhu Chuan jumped off the horse holding the plum blossoms.
"Master Zhu, you still like flowers." A soldier smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for most of the day, so I went to fold plum blossoms." ”
A guard rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, I'll help Master Zhu insert you to the side of the bed." ”
Zhu Chuan snorted and waved away: "This is for Miss Wanwan." ”
In the past, Zhu Chuan did often send flowers to Miss Wanwan, copied them from her home, and stole them from the flower room of Concubine Chen Niangniang in the palace, but whether they were copied or stolen, they were all rare and famous flowers.
This plum blossom is very common, and it is not withered, the thick branches are messy, and the mountains are wild.
"You know what?" Zhu Chuan snorted again, "This is the best thing to show your heart in season, let's go, don't delay me, the governor is resting, it's not easy to disturb." ”
After that, he was about to rush to the back house with the flowers, but as soon as he ran halfway, a whistle sounded in the dark night, making Zhu Chuanle stumble, and he was shocked and angry and looked in the direction of the whistle.
】
A figure appeared on the eaves in the night, gesturing at him, the secret guard he was familiar with, and then a figure appeared, thin and thin, with a fluttering skirt.
This is also someone he is familiar with.
……
……
With a bang, the door closed, Zhu Chuan turned around with the plum blossom in his arms, and looked at the woman standing indoors.
"What are you doing again?" He whispered, without waiting for Qixing to answer, he sighed, "After the Star Viewing Pavilion is repaired, the Imperial City can't enter, and you came to us to spread the wilderness again?" ”
Qixing smiled and did not answer, but looked at the plum blossom he was holding in his arms.
"Have you gone to the West Mountain to fold plums?" She asked, reaching out and touching the plum blossom gently, "Or was it given to you by someone else?" ”
Zhu Chuan dodged and avoided her hand: "It's none of your business." ”
Qixing didn't care, withdrew his hand, and looked at the table, which was different from the first time, at this time, Zhu Chuan's indoor table was filled with snacks and dried fruits, and even tandoor warm tea, and then looked inside, hanging a hanging curtain, and a withered bed was faintly visible.
"You're so generous in the house now." She said, looking at the flowers in Zhu Chuan's hand again, "It's better to put some flowers." ”
Zhu Chuan was annoyed: "This is not me-"
He didn't care about this, he was specially arranged for the governor, after all, the governor had been resting here several times, so he couldn't look like he had nothing.
But.
He sneered: "This is the Metropolitan Inspectorate, not the Linglong Fang of your Momen, Lord Boss, we can be as generous as we want." ”
Qixing smiled and didn't say anything more, walked over and put the tea on the stove, and picked up a piece of dim sum to eat.
"I'm here to ....." She said.
She was about to speak, but the door behind her slammed, and Zhu Chuan had already run away with the plum blossom in her arms.
……
……
"Miss Wanwan, look."
Zhu Chuan handed over the plum blossom with a smile on his face.
Liang Siwan sat on a chair and combed her hair, glanced over, and said, "Did you pick it from the side of the road or from the mountains?" ”
Zhu Chuanle said: "Miss is so powerful, you can see at a glance that this is picked from Xishan." ”
Liang Siwan said: "You don't need to spend money or rob it, just pick it, right?" Looking at Zhu Chuan, he seemed to be smiling, "Zhu Chuan, why are you so perfunctory to me now?" It seems that I have fallen out of favor in front of the Governor. ”
Zhu Chuan was said to be at a loss, and he didn't please him? Got the governor in trouble?
"Recently, the first snow has opened up, and both men and women in the city have used it to express their hearts." He stammered as he explained.
Liang Siwan said: "How can these men and women in the city compare with the governor, they don't have the power of the governor and the governor's money, they can only express their hearts with worthless things, Zhu Chuan, what's wrong with you lately?" Who did you learn from? It doesn't look like a governor at all. ”
He really learned from others...... Zhu Chuan opened his mouth and couldn't say it yet.
"Stop teasing him." Huo Lian came out of the inner room and said to Liang Siwan, "I'll go out for a while." ”
He had already changed his bedclothes, but when he saw Zhu Chuan coming, he went in to change his clothes.
Liang Siwan continued to comb her hair and said, "You're not coming back tonight, are you?" Sighing again, "It's boring to be alone." ”
Although this sounded like a grievance or sadness, Liang Siwan smiled after speaking, it seemed to be such a funny thing.
Zhu Chuan was laughed even more nervously, but Huo Lian didn't care, took out the flowers from his arms, handed them to the maids standing on the side, asked them to plug them in, and then signaled to Zhu Chuan.
"You're looking for me, aren't you?" He asked.
After Zhu Chuan came in, he only said that he would send plum blossoms, and did not say anything else.
Hearing Huo Lian ask, Zhu Chuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Dudu, if you don't see it, I can ..... it."
Huo Lian walked past him and stepped out of the door, and Zhu Chuan hurriedly stopped talking and followed.
The door was closed at the back, but instead of going dark, it was brightly lit, and the women were projected on the windows.
Seeing Zhu Chuan looking back, Huo Lian said: "Don't care, she said those words not to be angry, she just spoke, and she didn't have any ideas." ”
Oh, Zhu Chuan doesn't seem to understand.
Anyway, it's all to blame on that woman, who asked her sweetheart to send any plum blossoms!
Zhu Chuan took a step, pushed open the door angrily, the woman in the room was drinking tea, and when she saw Huo Lian walking in, she raised her eyes and smiled.
"Good evening." She said.
Zhu Chuan snorted, stepped out and closed the door, not wanting to see the woman's face.
Huo Lian, who walked in, asked, "What's the matter?" …… I don't drink tea. ”
Seven Stars withdrew the hand pointing at the tea.
"It's fine." She said, "I'm here to ......"
Her voice stopped here and again.
It seems that I don't know what to say.
Huo Lian looked at the empty snack plates on the table, the water on the stove, smelled the fragrance of tea in the room, and took her words and said, "Come to drink tea?" ”
He let out a laugh.
"Miss Boss, you ink disciples are just dressed simply, but you are not really poor and can't afford to drink tea."
Qixing ignored his sneer, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said, "I'm very happy today." He smiled and looked at Huo Lian.
Although this woman doesn't have many expressions, she can laugh when she laughs, but it is rare to have crooked eyes that smile like this today, it seems that she is really happy, Huo Lian looked away, and heard the female voice continue in her ears.
"Do you know what nine needles mean?"
Nine needles? That sword, Huo Lian looked at her and didn't speak, did she mean that she knew what was so special about that sword? Turns out she doesn't know either?
But it's not surprising that she doesn't know, the one surnamed Luo said that his daughter didn't grow up with him, she was not familiar with him, and she was naturally not familiar with the sword.
"It turns out that the nine needles were my mother's name." "And I thought about it very early." ”
How do you talk about mothers again? Huo Lian frowned in her heart, and from Luo Gong's words, she could know that their husband and wife were in a froze and had no contact.
So what does she mean is that Luo Gong misses his wife very much and carries the sword named by his wife with him at all times?
She, a child who grew up with her mother, actually hopes that her father and mother can reconcile?
"My Mother ....." Qixing said, his voice suddenly lowered again, and the smile on his face dissipated, "No wonder she is so sad, she is so looking forward to it, cherishing me, I have become ..... like that"
Speaking of swords, why did you talk about her again? Who did her mother cherish? What has become of her?
Huo Lian frowned slightly, why did she speak so preverbally and incompatibly? Looking at the girl in front of her, a line of tears suddenly slipped from her eyes.
That's it, how can a child not miss her mother, let alone watching her mother die, people are crazy with thoughts, and it is inevitable that words will be confused.
Huo Lian was about to look away, but saw the girl wipe her tears with one finger, looked at it curiously, looked, looked, and licked it suddenly.
"Salty." She looked at him and said, "Tears are salty. ”
Hold your finger up, it seems like something strange is going to show him.
Huo Lian was a little amused, and finally spoke: "Nonsense, it's not salty and sweet." ”
Qixing sighed: "It's the first time I've cried, I don't know." He looked at him, "Not as much as you've cried." ”
Huo Lian raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Why am I crying so much?" ”
Qixing said, "When you killed your father-in-law, didn't you cry to death, and your snot flowed out. At this point, he asked, "What does snot smell like?" ”
Huo Lian didn't know if it was anger or something rushing in his body, which made him angry and at a loss, as if he had been poured a bowl of sour, bitter and spicy soup, stirring up his five tastes, and finally only converging into a dirty word.
His father's.
The one surnamed Luo is the father.
What kind of daughter will I have?
The surnamed Luo asked him to hold the sword, did he really have to wait for that daughter to come to get the sword, or did that daughter come to anger him?
