In the blink of an eye, Zhang Moyuan has come to Qilin Town, five miles away, the ancient street paved with bluestone slabs, the convex and concave cornices, under the green tiles and red walls, the street is completely ragged, and the dirty ones are called Huazi, they are hungrily curled up on the side of the road and look at the passers-by stupidly.

Some of them called Hanako hungry,

Seeing Zhang Moyuan carrying a sack, he pounced when he saw this,

They grabbed Zhang Moyuan's clothes and kept saying, "Uncle is good, uncle is good, poor and poor me, I want food, give bread, give soup, uncle has a long life and health!" ”

Zhang Moyuan quickened the pace of his feet, he only wanted to see Lin Shen Qinghuan, he didn't pay attention to these beggars, he just grabbed the sack in his hand, for fear that someone would rob him in the next second.

He wasn't hard-hearted, but he couldn't do anything about these beggars

He is just an ordinary person, and he is still difficult to protect, so how can he have the spare energy to help others.

He can give once, but not for a lifetime.

Zhang Moyuan walked less than half a pillar of incense, and a teahouse came into view, with a three-story door closed.

With the teahouse as the center, there are taverns, pawnshops, workshops on the left, there are many old stalls with big umbrellas in the open space on both sides of the street, through the bluestone street of the open space, extending to the east and west, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, the former Qilin Town is the most prosperous here.

Zhang Moyuan walked to the west path, through the narrow alley, and soon came to a dilapidated courtyard, the courtyard wall was covered with dense vines, the rattan was yellow and hard, and it would break when touched.

And a slim girl in front of the small courtyard looked left and right, as if waiting for something......

Shen Qinghuan stood at the door from afar and waited for Zhang Moyuan, this is a habit that Shen Qinghuan has developed over the years, this is the agreement between Zhang Moyuan and Shen Qinghuan, she knows that even if it is an awl in the sky, Zhang Moyuan will definitely come.

Shen Qinghuan was wearing an apricot yellow cross-collared long skirt, revealing a snow-white slender neck, and the collar mouth and skirt of the dress were corrugated piping. The eyebrows are bent and the mouth is small, the apricot eyes and nose are small, the head is tied in a bun, the waist-length long hair hangs behind him like willow silk, the face is very delicate, and Ying Ying is sixteen or seventeen years old and runs towards Zhang Moyuan with anticipation.

Shen Qinghuan: "Brother Yuan! Shen Qinghuan trotted all the way to Zhang Moyuan.

Taking into account the woman's reserve, Shen Qinghuan didn't dare to be presumptuous, her footsteps stopped in front of Zhang Moyuan and looked at him, her eyes flowed, she had imagined countless scenes of the two of them meeting, and now he was in front of her, her thoughts about him, and those thoughts that lasted all night, after seeing this longing face, turned into a complete dependence.

Shen Qinghuan looked at Zhang Moyuan's tired appearance, her nose couldn't help but be sour, she hadn't seen her for a few days, and Brother Yuan was a lot haggard again.

Shen Qinghuan stretched out her slender hands to sort out his messy clothes, and under her fluttering eyelashes were her red and moist eyes.

Without waiting for Zhang Moyuan to speak, Shen Qinghuan said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, I will still ...... in the future Don't come again! ”

This is undoubtedly a basin of cold water for Zhang Moyuan, and he is completely tired.

Zhang Moyuan was a little angry, he fixed his mind and said: "You have said this to me many times, don't say it again in the future, I picked up a piece of game in the mountains last night, and I specially sent it to you today, and when I finish taking food today, I will fetch water for you tomorrow, you can wait for me at home, everything has me, don't be afraid, don't panic." ”

He knew Shen Qinghuan and didn't want to be a burden to him.

This is what Zhang Moyuan is willing to do for her, he thinks it is worth it, and Shen Qinghuan is worthy of him doing it for her.

Shen Qinghuan couldn't cry when he heard this, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain made people feel very distressed, this crying, crying Zhang Moyuan's heart was broken, from childhood to adulthood, Zhang Moyuan couldn't see girls crying, especially the woman he loved, which was also his weakness.

Zhang Moyuan put down the sack and coaxed Shen Qinghuan: "Qinghuan, don't cry...... It's not good, it's my fault, I shouldn't make you unhappy.

In this way, you hit me, if you are unhappy, vent with me, don't suffocate yourself, don't cry, wait for people to see and think I am bullying you......" Zhang Moyuan stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the residual tears on Shen Qinghuan's cheeks, for fear that an accidental calluse on his hand would wear out Shen Qinghuan's fair skin.

Shen Qinghuan stretched out her hand to comfort the rough and powerful hand on her cheek, she pursed her mouth and nodded slightly.

For a while, this scene made people unable to tell who was more distressing......

Shen Qinghuan has an introverted personality and usually talks quietly.

Even Zhang Moyuan, who has been with each other for five or six years, doesn't know what is going on in her little head at this time, but this situation is not what he wants to see......

Zhang Moyuan gently hugged Shen Qinghuan into her arms, she buried her head in Zhang Moyuan's chest, sighed and said, "Brother Yuan, it's better to ...... Let's forget it, I don't want to drag you down, you know, my parents have always disapproved of our marriage! She said with a face full of grievances and embarrassment.

Although Shen Qinghuan said this, her eyes were full of expectation, she wanted to know if Zhang Moyuan would choose her firmly, and what he could do to her, she looked sincere and waited quietly for Zhang Moyuan's answer.

Zhang Moyuan hugged Shen Qinghuan tightly and told her: "Qinghuan, leave you, I ...... I can't do it, and if that's your will, I'd like you to tell me personally. ”

Shen Qinghuan was naturally quite satisfied when he heard Zhang Moyuan's answer, only to hear Shen Qinghuan sneer, the thick nasal voice eased the serious atmosphere, and Zhang Moyuan's tense expression also relaxed a little.

He was afraid, afraid of losing Shen Qinghuan, the two had been together for six years, she was his salvation, and the two of them had long been like relatives......

At this time, a middle-aged woman with a graceful figure and a good face walked out of the room.

This person is Shen Qinghuan's mother, Jiang Junyi.

Zhang Moyuan called her aunt, and her aunt smiled politely when she saw the visitor and said, "Xiao Yuan is here, I haven't seen you for a few days and lost weight, come and sit in the house."

Zhang Moyuan hurriedly let go of Shen Qinghuan who was embracing him in his arms, and replied to his aunt: "No, aunt, I won't bother much about the government's grain today, and I will leave." ”

Then he turned and left.

Shen's father's attitude towards Zhang Moyuan has always been to despise him from the bottom of his heart, he dislikes this poor and sour hairy boy, and Zhang Moyuan naturally knows it, so he left very interestingly.

After Zhang Moyuan took the grain, he returned home and boiled a mouthful of porridge to fill his stomach hastily.

I was tired for a long time, and I lay on the couch and fell asleep in less than a moment.

Father Shen here saw the game sent by Zhang Moyuan and said angrily: "Everything is sent to our house, is our house a waste shelter?" Who knows what the wild dogs on this mountain have eaten, I don't eat it, I don't want it. ”

Jiang Jieyi gave him a roll of his eyes and sneered: "It's the same man, you don't have the ability to stop our life, if you have the ability, you can also go and find us some food, why complain at home, our family of four, in addition to waiting for the government to release food, when will you think about it, your son will go out to hunt, what about you?" ”

Shen Qinghuan's 15-year-old brother Shen Yixing also helped his mother speak: "Every day, you either eat soil or chew tree roots, it's good to stutter, Dad, don't be sour if you don't have the ability." ”

Father Shen was choked like this, his face turned red, and he had no words.

Jiang Jieyi continued: "In addition to looking at this and looking at that dissatisfaction, your own family sarcastically mocks your own family, standing and talking without back pain, what else can you do, I haven't seen you bring back two taels of meat to your home, in my opinion, you are a wreck!" ”

Father Lin was angry but couldn't refute it, glared at Shen Qinghuan who was standing in the corner and said, "What's so good about that Zhang Moyuan, there is an elderly and sick mother at home, what future can you have with him?" I'm really blind to your eyes, as soon as I see you, I don't get angry, as soon as I say you, you are like a wooden stake with a pestle, you can't move, if it weren't for my daughter, I would have thrown you into the mountains to feed the dogs, and life is a waste of food! ”

When Shen Qinghuan heard this, he did not refute it, nor was he angry......

She was just as usual, her pupils were hollow, her eyes were blank, and she looked at the scissors in her hand in a daze, click, click, and expressionless as she trimmed the yellow vines on the courtyard wall.

It's hell, it's a cage, it's a place that doesn't see the light of day, it's dark and foul-smelling......

And she, Shen Qinghuan, she is the maggots here, constantly giving birth to maggots, constantly fermenting, until they rot and die......

The corners of Shen Qinghuan's mouth rose, if ...... If...... It would be nice if I could change my father, and if only my father died...... It would be nice if they were all dead, hahaha......

She wants them to die, she wants them to live rather than die......

Hearing this, Shen's mother and Shen Yiying couldn't breathe with laughter, and Shen's father himself was amused by what he said, at first glance, the family was happy but there was nothing wrong with it.

She Shen Qinghuan is just a powerless woman, what can she do, the way of heaven is above, why should she be so humiliated alone.

Hahaha, hahaha, you laugh, I laugh, I laughed at any of you, I laughed more than any of you, bright,

You are laughing at me, so what am I Shen Qinghuan laughing at?

Laugh at me ridiculously, laugh at me for deserving, laugh at me...... Powerless...... Shen Qinghuan asked and answered herself in her heart, but there was no fluctuation on her face, she was used to it......

For as long as she can remember, day after day, year after year, endlessly......

Shen Qinghuan thought to herself what she should do, Brother Yuan, what would you do if you were you?

Father Shen said again: "Qinghuan, you have also reached the age of getting married, and no one will want it when you are two years old, if you marry that Zhu Yuanwai, you will definitely not have a hard life, you will not worry about wearing gold and silver, and the appearance of my daughter is the first class in the town."

Before Shen Bo finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mother Lin: "Okay, wait for Qinghuan to be a few years old, she is still young, she doesn't understand these things yet." ”

Hehe, that's ridiculous,

She doesn't just don't understand, she can't figure it out, and she can't figure it out, is it the case that the daughters of all families are like this? Being treated as such......

----------

It's night......

Zhang Moyuan snored like thunder

How did he do it?

Haitang listened to the snoring of Zhang Moyuan in the east room, and couldn't sleep......

I never felt that time was so difficult......

Haitang lifted the quilt and got up, looked at the ill-fitting cloth shoes under the bed, and forgot it...... If you don't wear it, put on the clothes that Aunt Qin brought,

Begonia told me in her heart that she had to do something, and she couldn't waste this good time......

People are not plants and trees, they need food to feed their stomachs,

Begonia caught a glimpse of Guanyin soil on the table, and sighed......

Do you mortals eat this~

Zhang Moyuan may be too tired tonight and didn't go out to hunt and forage, so Begonia's task tonight is to feed Aunt Qin and Zhang Moyuan tomorrow.

Begonia shines in the bronze mirror, ties up her hair with strips of cloth and hangs it behind her back, and the shorter dragon whiskers on both sides are put on her shoulders along the ears, which is simple and convenient.

Before going out, Begonia kicked away the ill-fitting rag shoes, and carrying it with her would only affect her speed......

Begonia pushed open the window, stepped on the eaves with bare feet, jumped lightly, and saw a touch of light posture in the darkness like a swallow walking in the wind, shuttling through the eaves tile walls of different heights, outlining overlapping phantoms under the moon.

Zhang Moyuan told her that there are relevant cards outside the village, but this is not difficult for Begonia.

If she can stop her, she can't beat her.

Begonia did not hesitate at all, barefoot and ran to the heights, swishing...... Shabu Shabu ...... The sound of the wind whirring in the air alarmed the officers and soldiers on duty at night, and the officers and soldiers looked up at the night sky and wondered, there was no wind?

Haitang snorted coldly, she is not a person, of course she does not follow the usual path.

From time to time, there was the sound of the wind whistling, and the scene around me kept changing.

Begonia enjoyed the process, and the smell of dust in the wind made Begonia feel like she was a living person, not a plant with no vital senses.

Flying through the checkpoint outside the village, Begonia came to the Qilin Town that Zhang Moyuan said.

This is the highest place in Qilin Town, Qifeng Tower.

There is a mirror lake under Qifeng Tower, originally Qifeng Tower was surrounded by water on all sides, but now only the dry lake bed remains.

Qifeng floor is located in the highest place in the south of Qilin Town, Qifeng is surrounded by water on all sides, only a bluestone slab step in the middle leads to the outside, the building is nine floors high, the phoenix carving of the eaves in all directions is like a phoenix spreading its wings and taking off, the momentum is magnificent.

A warlock once predicted that there would be a woman who would be a mother in the world within a hundred years, so there was Qifenglou later.

Qifeng Tower was originally built to watch and guard the town, to prevent foreign enemies, belongs to the military building, with the development of the town and the unification of the country, gradually become the official business travel must be here, the banquet must be here ornamental building.

At this time, the lifeless Qilin Town was dimly lit. A few lights were scattered in the distance, stubbornly trying to prove that it was not a dead city.

That's it, Begonia looked at the few lights scattered in the distance, and the one who could light the lamp must be a rich family.

It's almost there, it's almost there, and the begonias never thought that this place would be so brightly lit.

It's just that there are officers and soldiers guarding everywhere outside the courtyard wall, and I don't know where this is? Need such a battle?

The begonias outside the courtyard wall couldn't help but sweat...... With so many people, if they are discovered, they don't know what the odds are?

After thinking about it for a long time, since you have come here, wouldn't it be a pity not to do something?

Haitang followed the noisy voices and made a wall gentleman on one of the roofs in the courtyard.

In the dead of night, only here is the most noisy, the begonia lifts the tiles, only to see the pipa singing and dancing in the hall, and the hall feasts delicious food.

There are two seats on the seat, and it is very rich to sit on the melon and fruit delicacies, eight treasures and jade food.

In the center of the hall sat a middle-aged man wearing an official hat and an official uniform, and next to the man lay a disheveled man.

I only heard the woman next to him flatteringly call him Lord Liang.

The woman's posture was graceful, and the whole person was attached to Lord Liang's body.

Inside and outside the house, there is a scene of frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat.

The old antique begonia that Lord Liang listened to was soft, and he almost fell down without holding it......

That Lord Liang was no better than her, pinched the woman's face and stuffed a green grape into the woman's mouth,

He laughed: "Xiaoxiao, you are still the most sensible, this trip to Qilin Town was not in vain, hahaha!" Zhu Yuanwai, the woman in your foreign house is really good, the singing and dancing are good, the family banquet is good, and this little beauty is even better. As he spoke, he began to laugh and play with the woman beside him again.

Zhu Yuan said: "Mengliang Duwei lifted, the nature of Kyoto is beautiful like a cloud, Liangduwei is not far away from my Qilin disaster relief grain so hard, how can ordinary rural wild women get into the eyes of Duwei, if Xiaoxiao can be appreciated by Liangduwei today, it is Xiaoxiao's honor, if Liangduwei does not dislike it, it is better to let Xiaoxiao accompany Duwei for a ride, and he will find a way to bring it back to Beijing. Zhu Yuanwai was overjoyed.

In order to prevent officials from embezzling disaster relief grain funds, the officials who provide disaster relief and grain have to be replaced every year, but the capital and Qilin Town are thousands of miles apart, and it is inconvenient to communicate letters.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, how can Captain Liang, who has been in the officialdom for most of his life, not understand this truth. The more ripe the ears of rice, the more they know how to bend over.

Besides, Liang Duwei has already heard that there are people in the court outside this Zhu Yuan, and the forces are intertwined, so why should he blame him for this old bone.

Liang Duwei was not in a hurry to agree: "This can't, can't, I'm an official in Beijing, I came here to observe the people's feelings, how can there be a woman by my side, isn't this back to Beijing for nothing?" Furthermore, if you call the person who has a heart a ginseng, the black gauze hat of the official is a small matter, and it will not be a big deal if it affects the staff? Liang Duwei hugged the woman beside him, and Liang Duwei's eyebrows were full of calculations, neither accepting nor blocking the back road.

is worthy of being an old fox in the officialdom, and in a few words, he tied himself to the same boat as Zhu Yuanwai, the implication is that I will not send this handle to others, on the surface, I accepted your person to accept your love, but in fact, it is to give you this face, you don't have to be embarrassed with me during this time, when I return to Beijing and the Holy Lord, I will naturally not be missing your good words, but if I have any accidents, then Zhu Yuanwai will naturally not be able to get rid of the relationship.

Zhu Yuanwai, who was clever and eloquent, naturally understood what this Liang Duwei meant, and then called the man who served him closely, the man was dressed as a servant, only to see Zhu Yuanwai lying in the slave's ear and not knowing what to say, so that the man nodded again and again, and then quietly bypassed the crowd and left the banquet through the back door.

Begonia jumped into the courtyard to follow the man, the man carried the lantern and hurried through the curved eaves corridor, at the end of the eaves corridor is a hexagonal assorted door, the door plaque mentions the word Cuizhu Garden, the man entered the Cuizhu Garden and stopped at the door of a remote wing, took out the key he carried and opened the heavy copper lock on the door, and did not forget to cover the door after entering the house, very cautious.

Begonia hid behind the bamboo forest and waited for a long time and didn't see him come out, just about to get up and go in to explore, there was movement in the house, and saw that the man came out and struggled to hold a wooden box in his arms, and he didn't know what it contained.

Probably delayed for a long time, the slave trotted all the way to the banquet with the wooden box, Zhu Yuanwai made a look at the slave, the slave understood, opened the wooden box to the seat of the captain of Liangdu, and saw a number of gold ingots in the wooden box.

Seeing this, Liang Duwei smiled happily.

Captain Liang said with a smile: "What do you mean by this? ”

Zhu Yuanwai: "This time the captain and the brothers are tired, Zhu has a lack of hospitality, and I ask the captain to forgive me if I can't get it, these are just Zhu's meeting gifts to the captain, Liang Duwei regarded it as a thin noodle for Zhu, and the right was that Zhu invited a group of brothers to drink, and there were also 10,000 taels of silver tickets, when the captain returned to Beijing to resume his life, Zhu sent it together with Xiaoxiao, as a dowry for Xiaoxiao."

Liang Duwei: "I have heard that the outsiders are sympathetic to the subordinates, and the people are also giving porridge and doing good, but now when I see that the outsiders are really temperamental, such a warm hospitality, the official is really not easy to refuse, and the official has thanked the outsiders for the brothers!" ”

It sounds like Begonia understands it, it's nothing more than two things, send a woman...... 2 ......

Although this lute is good, the twists and turns in it are really obscure, so it is better to find something useful.

There are many servants in Zhu Yuan's foreign house, there are a number of maidservants, and now there are two places where you can find food, one is the hall, the other is the dining room, although the mansion is large, but only these two places are lit, so it is naturally easy to find.

…………………………………………

In the dining room, a maidservant sat in front of the stove with a fan in her hand, drooling and dozing.

Let's give you a good dream!

Begonia flashed behind the maidservant,

A cold wind blew, and the maidservant girl felt the movement and opened her eyes in shock.

The begonia pressed against the back of the maid's ear, blew a puff of pink flowers on her, and before the maid could open her eyes, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

Then Begonia raised her wrist, flipped her palm around, and conjured up a begonia flower with her fingertips as a guide, extinguishing the candlelight on the stove.

After all, it's easy to do things in the dark.

Tearing off the dress that the maidservant was wearing and making a cloth bag, he hurriedly picked up the food on the stove.

This line received a lot of goods, and I also found the food Zhang Moyuan wanted in the clay jar in the corner, but I couldn't find the Guanyin soil that Zhang's mother wanted, but so much food was enough.

Before leaving, I looked at the green mention on the plate and was very reluctant, it was better to ...... Why don't you bring it with you......

It's just that this dress is too small, not as much as Zhang Moyuan's sack.

In this way, Haitang left the Yuanwaifu with a cloth bag full of food, and the journey back was not as good as when he came, because the road conditions were not familiar, so he spared some more hours.

When I returned to Zhang's house, it was already midnight

The wooden ladder in Zhang Moyuan's house was old and echoed, and Haitang was afraid of waking up Zhang Moyuan's mother and son, so she put the food downstairs in front of Zhang's mother and flew upstairs.

"Where have you been so late?"

Pushing open the wooden door, a person appeared in the room coldly.

It's not too soon, it's not too late, Zhang Moyuan, who is so good to die, is actually in her room, oh no, isn't he asleep......

To be continued......
