Chapter 24: Miss, Where Are We Going?
After Yuan Benying's trouble, Li Xiaojun completely recognized the reality, he was already dead, and his soul was worn to Li Xiangjun more than 300 years ago, and he couldn't go back at all. As the saying goes, I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a person in a troubled world, how did I travel to this troubled world? is still a woman at the bottom of society, doesn't this cost me my own life?
"I can't go back, I can't go back at all!"
Today is still a rainy day, although the weather is cool, but her mood is also cool, looking at the flowers and plants in the patio that have been washed by the rain, Li Xiaojun muttered to herself, I don't know where the road is.
What to do?
Why don't you go to Shenyang?
Isn't that how "Step by Step" is played?
Huang Taiji is heroic, Dolgon is infatuated, Duoduo is cute, and the temperamental Shunzhi Emperor and the indomitable Jidu General, which one is better to choose?
No, it seems that Dolgon only likes the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and it seems that he has no fun.
Huang Taiji's age should not be young, it doesn't feel good to be with the old man, in her previous life, she was able to push and push, and she had to dedicate herself if she couldn't push it off, and she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past when she came to this world.
Come to think of it, only Dodor is suitable.
But...... The Manchus of this era should all speak Manchu, right?
Cuiyun brought another bowl of porridge, and when she saw the young lady lying on the bed, she couldn't help covering her eyes, and after a while, she whispered, "Miss, it's time to eat." ”
"Again...... Drink...... Gruel...... Yes! ”
Li Xiaojun sat up lazily, put on a skirt casually, glanced at the pale yellow millet porridge, and suddenly lost his appetite at all, "I don't want to drink porridge." ”
"Miss......" Cuiyun put down the porridge and said impatiently, "I can drink it for a day tomorrow, and we won't even have porridge to drink the day after tomorrow." ”
"Ahh Li Xiaojun was surprised, "What did you say?" We're almost out of the pot? ”
Cuiyun was noncommittal.
Li Xiaojun was stunned for a long time, and finally asked timidly, "Cuiyun, you said that we sold this house and moved to Beijing, okay?" ”
"Ah, Miss, you're crazy!" Cuiyun was so frightened that her face turned green, and she lost her voice, "Beijing is occupied by thieves, the emperor has died, we still go to Beijing, don't we go to the wolf's den by ourselves?" ”
"Oh, no! Wrong! Li Xiaojun waved his hand disapprovingly, "As far as I know, Li Zicheng will definitely not be able to stay in Beijing for long, and finally the Qing army will enter the customs, and it will soon settle down at that time. ”
She just calculated carefully, in the absence of planes and high-speed trains, they can only walk or take a boat to Beijing, and the road will be delayed for at least two months, plus her selling the house and rescuing Zhenniang, it will take at least half a year. She remembered that Li Zicheng had only been in Beijing for forty days, and now that Emperor Chongzhen had been dead for two months, maybe Li Zicheng would have run away by now.
As for why she knew that Li Zicheng had only been in Beijing for more than a month, it was because one of her customers in Beijing once told her a joke that when she heard that Li Zicheng was very happy after he conquered Beijing, she entertained the brothers to dinner, because his subordinates were all poor people, and what he wanted to eat most was dumplings. In order to satisfy the wishes of his brothers, he entertained his subordinates to eat dumplings every day, and ate them for forty days in a row.
After hearing this story, she burst out laughing at the time, which made the man lose interest in an instant and give up halfway.
Cuiyun shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, now there is chaos outside, as long as we go out of the city, we will be robbed, miss, beg you, don't go out of the city." ”
"Ah, that's just as well!" Li Xiaojun thought about it, and felt that Cuiyun was reasonable, and it had been several days since she came to this world, although she stayed at home, she still got some information from Yang Longyou and Su Kunsheng, knowing that the whole north was in chaos, she was a first-line star, and she didn't have sixteen bodyguards holding hands in a circle to protect her, how could she go to Beijing?
I can't go to Beijing, and I can't perform the braided play, Li Xiaojun fell into a state of decadence again, although her stomach has already made a revolution, she just doesn't want to drink that Rausch porridge.
But she was very hungry if she didn't drink porridge, and she couldn't stand it so hungry that she could only drink two bowls like medicine, "Hey, Cuiyun, come here, I have something to ask you!" ”
Cuiyun packed up the dishes and chopsticks and returned to her, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Li Xiaojun asked, "Do you have to be able to play and sing in our business?" ”
Cuiyun nodded.
Li Xiaojun asked again, "Then will I?" ”
After a few days of trying, she found that the memories and skills of her previous life were still there, and the memories and emotions that belonged to Li Xiangjun were almost gone, but her skills were still there, and under the fusion of the two, she was even more powerful.
"Of course Miss will, Miss You Shan Nanqu." Cuiyun finished speaking confidently, and reminded, "Didn't you play the piano yesterday?" ”
Li Xiaojun asked very abruptly, "What is Nanqu?" ”
"Ah......" Cuiyun had already determined that the young lady in front of her was not the previous miss, "Nanqu is the song you learned from Master Su before?" The people in the old courtyard can sing it, but they can't sing as well as you! ”
Li Xiaojun asked again, "Is there still Beiqu?" ”
"Well, there is, but there are not many people singing!" Cuiyun thought for a while and said, "In the entire old courtyard, only Dunwen can sing, although she sings well, but there are few people who listen to her, and she is almost unable to eat." ”
"Oh......" Li Xiaojun didn't know who Dunwen was, and she didn't want to know, so she changed the subject, "Take me to the piano room, I want to practice!" ”
When she came to the piano room and looked at the guzheng on the table, the huqin and the dongxiao on the wall, she suddenly had a feeling, and took down a handful of erhu and pulled it up, which was the popular welcome song at the moment.
Li Xiaojun pulled it again, and felt a little familiar, so he lowered two tones, it turned out to be almost the same as "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", it's really interesting, it turns out that the blind A Bing is also pirated.
Li Xiaojun was pondering when he suddenly heard a sob, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Cuiyun crying.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiaojun put down the erhu, hurriedly got up and came to her, helped her wipe away her tears, and asked softly, "Who messed with you?" ”
"I didn't ...... No one! Cuiyun held back her tears, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "It's Miss's song that is so sad that the maid can't help but cry." ”
"Ah......" Li Xiaojun's eyes widened, wouldn't it, when did he have such a technology? Although she has known this song since she was a child, she still has self-knowledge to say how high the level is.
Seeing that the little maid was still immersed in sadness, Li Xiaojun picked up the erhu and tried it twice, and said, "Then I'll pull you a happy one." ”
The song soon became relaxed and comfortable, and under the inspiration of Li Xiaojun's shaking head, Cuiyun felt like she was running and playing by the stream, full of birds and flowers, full of laughter.
At the end of the song, Li Xiaojun asked, "How is it, are you happy?" ”
"Well, it's fun, it's so fun!" Cuiyun smiled and asked sweetly, "Miss, what kind of song is this?" Why haven't you seen Master Su teach you before? ”
Li Xiaojun said with a smile, "This is called "Zhu Bajie's Back Daughter-in-law", which I created myself. ”
"Zhu Bajie? Who is it? Cuiyun's face was full of questions again.
"Ah, you don't even know Zhu Bajie?" Li Xiaojun was a little speechless, so he had to explain "Journey to the West" to her.
After talking for a while, Cuiyun suddenly sighed and said excitedly, "Oh, this, I know this, Zhu Bajie is the second senior brother." ”
"You know!" Li Xiaojun stopped angrily, "Then I won't talk about it." ”
"Oh, let's talk a little more, please!" Cuiyun pleaded, "The maid only heard that Liu Mazi said a few things, but he didn't speak as well as you. ”
Li Xiaojun asked hesitantly, "Who is Liu Mazi?" ”
Cuiyun was speechless about her ignorance, "Liu Mazi is Liu Jingting, who said Yangzhou commentary, his 'Wu Song Fights Tiger' is particularly good, we all like to listen to it." Also, he is friends with Zhen Niang, Master Su, and Master Yang. ”
It's really a three-way sect.
Li Xiaojun sighed in his heart, remembered the matter of rescuing Zhen Niang, and hurriedly asked, "Then is he familiar with Tian Yang?" ”
Cuiyun shook her head, "Sima Tian used to be an official in other places, and we didn't know him. However, even if you know it, it's useless, Liu Mazi is not in Nandu now, he has already gone to Wuchang, and I heard that he is still a general under General Zuo. ”
Li Xiaojun shook his head in disappointment, "You said Hou Fangyu...... Will Hou Lang also go to Wuchang? ”
Cuiyun shook her head and said she didn't know, she didn't ask anymore, sat on a guzheng and began to play, and the high-pitched sound of the piano spread outside, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Zhou Liu and Zhou Bin were taking a lunch break, and when they heard the sound of the piano, they couldn't help frowning and said, "Dad, you said that we can't even afford to eat, and she is still playing the piano here, what can we do in the future?" ”
Zhou Bin sighed and said, "Ahem...... I'm afraid this Meixianglou is going to collapse. ”
"So what do we do?" Hearing him say this, Zhou Liu couldn't help but become anxious, "It's not easy to find an errand, if Meixianglou is gone, we're afraid we're going to be hungry." ”
Zhou Bin said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'm already looking for a way out, in case it really comes to that day, we can only live with Zhenniang." ”
Zhou Liu put his mind at ease, "There are still some valuable things in the building, I'll hide some first, and take them away together when I leave!" ”
Zhou Bin's eyes widened, "That's not possible, Zhenniang treats us well, but we can't mess with the things of the master's house." Besides, if it gets out, who will dare to take us in in the future? ”
Zhou Liu frowned, "Hmph, just be honest, what does she know as a female doll who has nothing to do, I'll take the outside, as long as you don't let Xiao Wuzi know, who knows?" ”
Zhou Bin was so angry that he raised his hand to fight, but he forgot that he was also injured a few days ago, and he pulled the injury as soon as he moved, and he couldn't help but call out again, "Ouch, you thief mother-in-law will wait for me, and I'll clean you up when I heal my injury!" ”
Aunt Zhou snorted, "We can't even afford to eat, and we still have a hairball injury, you old thing is waiting here to die, and if you die, I can find someone who can make money!" ”
Zhou Bin rolled his eyes in anger, but he couldn't do anything about her, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it, ...... If Zhenniang is still there, my lord and I will have a few taels of silver a month just for rewarding, why suffer from this mother-in-law's anger?
