Five hundred and ninety-one: Mountain Collapse!
The night is deep, Shenjing City is always like this after entering the middle of the night, and now the winter night is getting colder, as soon as the sky is dark, each family will turn off the lights early and go to bed to rest, and most of the friends in the north are like this.
In the south, there may be some nightless days, even at two or three o'clock in the morning, there are still shops open and people playing around, while in the north, basically after dark, they go back to their homes, and it is not too late, and around ten o'clock, the streets are already empty.
This is especially true in winter, and sometimes even at seven or eight o'clock, the streets are already empty.
Now it is snowing heavily, last night's snow has not melted, today it has been sprinkled with a day's snow, and in the evening, the wind has stopped, but it is still snowing, and the snowflakes are as big as a table!
Naturally, there were no people on the streets for a long time, and there was not even much light around, and Shenjing City fell into silence and darkness............
"Hiss~"
The husband gasped, and the cold and moist air in the middle of the night went straight into his lungs, so that he couldn't help but shiver, sniffed, and took out a can of soju from his arms that had been sitting in the kettle with a cotton jacket.
Smacked his lips contentedly, shook the flask and felt that there was not much left, and then the husband closed the lid and put it back on his chest.
Seeing this, the younger husband next to him smiled and said, "Old Uncle Li, give us a whole bite, it's strange to be frozen this day!" ”
When the older husband heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! This is almost at the bottom, how can I give you a share! I want to drink it and buy it myself! ”
When the young husband heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then took out the wine jug in his arms and handed it to the young husband, but he still told him distressedly: "Drink less!" It's almost gone! Stinky Boy ............"
The young husband agreed perfunctorily, but on the other hand, he poured a big mouthful, which made the old husband feel very distressed, and hurriedly snatched it back.
Seeing this, the young husband couldn't help but pout, "Old Uncle Li, look at you like that!" I'll pay you back when the silver rice is sent, and it's better to eat! ”
Hearing this, the old gentleman sneered and said, "You, you can go to less of that kind of place, just save some money honestly!" The old man doesn't need your drink! ”
The young husband scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, and the two continued to walk forward, only to find that the young husband was limping, and it seemed that there was something wrong with his legs and feet.
The old man hated that iron could not become steel and said: "You said you! We work hard all day long to work in the dark like ghosts, isn't it just to eat? You are young, isn't it serious to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law? I just spend the money on those unserious girls! Can she still give you a son? ”
The young husband smiled and said, "Old Uncle Li, you said that we are not ghosts, how can any serious girl take a fancy to us?" I'm not going to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, and I can't save it, so wouldn't it be good to find those half-hidden people? ”
The old man snorted coldly: "You! It's just that I'm young, and when the old man and I are so old, I know, this person, when will there still be someone around who knows cold and hot! ”
At this time, most of the people who held the profession of the husband were from the beggars, either some poor people or some disabled people, and these more defective people would do this.
Because this work can be said to be very hard, not only do you have to stare at the leak and the fragrance all night, but also shoulder the responsibility of vigilance against fire and theft, and the income is extremely meager.
Therefore, if there is a little way out, even if people go to the dock to carry a big bag, it is estimated that they will not want to engage in this profession............
At this time, it was already the third watch, about eleven o'clock in the evening, the two walked to the main road leading to the imperial city, and the young man said to the old man: "Old Uncle Li, shout a voice?" ”
The old man nodded, and then the young man struck the gong on his hand, and the old man struck a slow and fast bang on the stick in his hand: "Winter ......... Dongdong! ”
At the same time, the old man shouted at the top of his voice: "The cold wave is coming, turn off the lights and close the door!" Sound the gong to inform, watch out for the candles! ”
After speaking, he knocked on one side and two fast rhythms, cleared his throat, and the young husband couldn't help but smile and stretched out his thumb and said: "It has to be Uncle Li, no one else can shout this taste!" ”
When the old man heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Don't talk about poverty! Come on! The young man nodded in response, and the two of them thought about walking into the neighborhood.
At this time, the two of them saw from afar that the fire suddenly lit up above the imperial city!
The young husband couldn't help but be a little excited and surprised: "Scared! In the middle of the night, can the imperial city go to the water? Why is it so bright all of a sudden? ”
The old man was also very strange, he had never seen such a scene when he lived so old, so he shook his head and said, "I really haven't seen it, who knows what's going on............"
After the old man finished speaking, he saw that the gate of the imperial city was slowly opened! Now the two of them are a little creepy, and their bodies, which were already hot because of drinking soju, suddenly seem to freeze! Cool from the soles of your feet to the back of your head!
The two looked at each other, and the young husband hesitated for a moment and said, "Old Uncle Li, you are old, you tell me............ When will this imperial city be open after the third watch? ”
The old man suddenly said in a speechless voice: "Don't talk about you, old man, I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen this meeting............"
Before the old man's words fell, he saw more than a dozen horsemen rushing out of the imperial city gate, and the two hurriedly hid aside and did not dare to make a sound, only to see that the dozen horsemen were all dressed in brocade robes, wearing black yarn, riding a high-headed horse and galloping past, with four order flags on their backs, and white ribbons tied to their black gauze hats!
The two watchmen hid in the dark and did not dare to show their faces, waiting for the dozen horsemen to run away, the two of them walked out of the darkness with complicated expressions, the old watchman looked at the direction of the imperial city with slightly squinted eyes, and couldn't help muttering softly: "This is a big deal............
Two hours ago, the Jinyi Guard issued an emergency summoning order, the whole army was mobilized, and all the defenses in the Forbidden City were garrisoned.
The six palaces are under martial law, including Kunning Palace and Cining Palace, and palace people are forbidden to walk! Anyone who dares to step out of the palace gate where his official position is located will be killed!
Immediately afterwards, Yang Jisheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, was urgently summoned into the palace, and a moment later, the Zhengyang Gate was opened, and more than a dozen loyal brocade clothes rode back with a command flag, tied with white silk on their heads, and rushed out with an urgent secret order of 800 miles!
An hour later, all the cabinet members were urgently summoned into the palace, after a short tea time, the chief eunuch Dai Quan of Daming Palace hurriedly appeared in the Fenglou, after all kinds of conformity, ascended the Fenglou, rang the Jingyang bell............
Originally, Jia Jing was just looking through the West Chamber, to be honest, there are not many entertainment projects these years, and occasionally watching it is already a very relaxing way of entertainment, he doesn't go to the Qinglou Washe, naturally he can only listen to the play and read books, and now he doesn't have much leisure time, and even the only entertainment project has been canceled, like today, he has not felt the comfortable time of listening to the snow night reading for a long time.
So Jia Jing didn't pay attention to Daiyu, just casually flipped, Daiyu was lying sideways on the side, and later maybe saw Jia Jing ignoring her, Daiyu couldn't help but turn her head curiously, and saw Jia Jing looking at the book intently, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then glared at him dissatisfied!
Jia Jing didn't notice Daiyu's expression, Daiyu stared for a while, maybe she was tired, so she turned around and looked at Jia Jing in a daze, and looked at it for a while, maybe she was bored, so she climbed Jia Jing's shoulder and followed the book.
Jia Jing was fascinated for a while and didn't pay attention, but just put the book on Daiyu's side, so the two of them slowly turned their backs to each other, to leaning together to read, to Daiyu being cold and covering the two of them with a quilt, and then to Jia Jing reaching out to hold Daiyu, Daiyu leaned her head on Jia Jing's shoulder socket, and both of them were fascinated............
Should I say it or not, the books that can be passed down through the ages are different, even if people write about Uncle Xiaohuang, it is also written lewdly but not, and it is just right, and I can't help but make people scream!
Although the fragrance in it is not as explicit as a certain young man and a young woman read by Jia Jing in his previous life, it is not all these dramas, compared to those, but the truth contained in them, including some human warmth and coldness, and the storyline, which is more fascinating!
No wonder Lanling smiles and smiles, they can be famous through the ages! can write Uncle Xiao Huang like this, it is difficult to think of celebrities for eternity!
Jia Jing and Daiyu were fascinated for a while, when Jia Jing wanted to turn the page, Daiyu would even stretch out his hand to block it, Jia Jing would wait for a while, and by the way, he would reminisce again, and wait until Daiyu turned the page, and then he would continue to read.
The two of them snuggled up to each other and read books, the snow outside the window was piled up unconsciously, the cold wind blew through the window and made a slight whining sound, and the candles on the side exploded and exploded............
Zijuan watched Jia Jing go in and didn't come out, and she was about to knock on the third watch, and Jia Jing didn't mean to come out yet!
Zijuan suddenly panicked, could it be that Hou Ye didn't hold it? The girl won't do anything stupid, right? Zijuan beat a drum in her heart, and reason told her that Jia Jing and Daiyu were not arbitrary people, but the facts told her that Jia Jing had been in for several hours, and now she didn't go out until late at night!
This............ She suddenly panicked, these few hours, I'm afraid that everything that should be done has been done! Zijuan was already thinking about the scene where she saw Daiyu lying on Jia Jing's body after entering............
Zijuan suddenly sat up, and after struggling for a long time, Zijuan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, but still mustered up the courage to quietly push open the door, and after tiptoeing in, seeing the scene on the bed, Zijuan was suddenly dizzy, and sighed in her heart: "It's broken!" I didn't look at it in the end! ”
After a closer look at Zijuan, she breathed a sigh of relief, although the two were hugging each other and sleeping, they were still wearing clothes for each other, Jia Jing was holding a book in her hand, and Daiyu was sleeping sweetly with her hands around Jia Jing.
Zijuan breathed a sigh of relief, although this was also very unruly, but compared to the picture that Zijuan thought of when she first came in, this was already a good result!
But Zijuan still can't ask Jia Jing to stay here for the night, otherwise Daiyu's innocent reputation will really be gone! If outsiders rumor that Jia Jing spent the night in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, who cares if you really did these things? No, it's done!
So Zijuan was just about to step forward to wake up Jia Jing, but suddenly there was a bell ringing in her ears, which scared Zijuan, and Jia Jing and Daiyu, who were sleeping soundly on the bed, were also awakened at the same time.
Jia Jing opened his eyes and yawned, looked up at Zijuan in confusion, and was about to say something, but there was a sound of bells ringing in his ears, Jia Jing suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up, and listened to the bell silently with a serious expression.
Daiyu on the side got up and sat on the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and said in confusion: "Brother, how, how to ............"
Jia Jing made a silent gesture on the side of her mouth, and Daiyu also came to her senses at this time, seeing Zijuan still looking at her strangely on the side, Daiyu's face suddenly turned red, just now she actually called Jia Jing "brother" in front of others............
Although it is Zijuan, Daiyu still can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into! Although Daiyu loves to be coquettish, this kind of coquettishness is only used in a tactful and tactful way when the two are alone.
At this time, this little love between the two people was witnessed by a third person, and Daiyu was simply ashamed and angry!
But then she didn't have this thought, because she suddenly saw Jia Jing's gradually pale face, his originally serious expression gradually turned into panic, and his face was pale and colorless.
Daiyu was suddenly startled, she had never seen Jia Jing's face like this! I've never seen him have such gaffe expressions and movements!
Jia Jing jumped out of bed, still looking at Zijuan in disbelief and said, "Zijuan, how many times has the bell ringed?" Eighty-one? ”
Zijuan was stunned, and then thought for a moment and said, "It seems that yes, eighty-one and two, I didn't count it, but it's quite a long ............."
Jia Jing's face was as white as paper, yes, it was very long, and it was impossible for such a long bell to ring again, because this was the highest ninety-nine-eighty-one, which meant that the emperor had died!
Although he had expected a day, when it really came to an end, Jia Jing inevitably felt a little flustered.
No matter what, after all, we still have to face it, Jia Jing hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and then turned to Daiyu and said, "You have a good rest first, and I'll go out." ”
Daiyu opened her mouth, very worried as Jia Jing put on her cloak and disappeared into the snow, Zijuan glanced back at Daiyu, Daiyu just wrapped the quilt on her body, and looked at the direction where Jia Jing disappeared more and more worriedly.
After the Jingyang bell rang, Shenjing City was like a giant beast that had been awakened from its slumber, and it instantly became brightly lit and full of people's voices!
Countless people walked out of the door curiously, and more officials hurriedly changed into official robes or rode sedan chairs or horses, all of which hurried towards the direction of the Forbidden City.
Jingyang bell rings eighty-one times, the supreme died, all civil and military officials in Beijing, regardless of the size of the product, are to wait outside the palace gate to ask for the report, there must be no absence, otherwise the light will be dismissed, but the heavy will be beheaded!
So when Jia Jing arrived at Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother, who was tired, was changing the big makeup of the Duchess under the service of Mandarin Duck and Wang Xifeng.
Yuan Chun was also there at this time, and he had already changed into the princess's makeup, and his eyes flickered for a moment when he saw Jia Jing, but he still nodded in greeting, Jia Jing saw that she was not salty and thought that she was still angry with herself, so she had no choice but to nod and respond without saying anything.
The Jia family was still quite panicked at this time, Jia Zheng and Jia Yu sat there frowning and silent, everyone was relieved to see Jia Jing coming, but Jia Yu was the first to speak: "Brother Jing, have you gotten any other news?" What the hell is going on in the palace? Good end, how can this be? ”
Jia Jing shook his head and said, "It's not clear for the time being, I just heard the Jingyang bell ringing, so I came over............"
Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but frown sadly, and Jia Mu snorted twice: "What are you afraid of? No matter what, it's also their own business, can they still find our nobles? ”
Mother Jia is right, the Jia family is a top noble, how the heavenly family fluctuates, as long as he doesn't die, everything is safe, the key is that the Jia family is a famous little expert in death............
Jia Jing didn't say much, and telling them couldn't solve the problem, and Jia Zheng and Jia pardoned the two wastes and couldn't come up with any substantive suggestions except for being more worried.
Jia Jing stepped forward and said to Jia's mother: "The old lady can't take the second sister-in-law into the palace for a while, the second aunt is afraid that she won't serve you well, I am an outside official, I can't enter without permission, Baoyu is a brocade guard, just in the inner house, let him go with you, you have a descendant to take care of, it won't be a big deal." ”
Mother Jia couldn't help but iron in her heart when she heard this, turned her head to look at Baoyu, Baoyu hurriedly dodged her gaze, he was ten thousand unwilling in his heart, in the middle of the night, go back and sleep warmly with the fragrant and soft girl? Who wants to go into the palace in the wind and snow?
Jia Jing frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you go to change your clothes?" Mother Jia saw Baoyu's reluctance, so she could only smile and said: "Forget it, the old woman can take care of herself, and there are palace people to take care of you when you go in, just take care of yourself, we can't suffer much in the palace............"
The address was modified for various reasons
