It rained during the night.

The rain was pouring down, hitting the newly planted banana leaves in the small courtyard, and the sound was bleak.

Lu Tong had a dream.

In the dream, she returned to the Lu family's house in Changwu County, it was Layue, approaching the end of the year, and the wind and snow were in the veins. Lu Rou walked out of the house.

The eldest sister is clearly still a girl, but she combed a woman's head and wore a plum blue plain velvet embroidered jacket, which was as beautiful and gentle as ever.

When Lu Rou saw her, she reached out to pull Lu Tong's hand, and said angrily: "Where did you go again?" My mother called at home for a long time and didn't answer, and my father knew about it and wanted to talk about you. Wait a minute, it's time to post red letters, Lu Qian is writing, you come and change your clothes. ”

She was chaotic, obediently led by Lu Rou to the house, and heard Lu Rou whispering in front: "You have been gone for a long time, for so many years, my sister has kept the hairpin for you, and I have to come back at a loss......"

Hairpin?

What hairpin?

Why did Lu Rou say that she had been gone for many years, where did she go?

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in his ears, and Lu Tong opened his eyes suddenly.

The lights in the house were dimly yellow, and in the dark sky, only the rain was dripping.

She slowly sat up from the bed, and could not sleep again, only silently staring at the yellow lamp until dawn.

When it was dawn, the silver kite also got up. The two opened the door of the medical hall, and it didn't take long for Du Changqing and Ah Cheng to come.

Spring came to an end, and there were several rains in succession, so there were fewer people who came to buy medicinal tea, and it was early in the morning, and the shops were a little deserted.

Du Changqing made a pot of hot tea, and asked Ah Cheng to buy two hot cakes to eat, all for breakfast.

Lu Tong walked up to him and said, "Shopkeeper Du, I want to borrow some silver from you." ”

Du Changqing almost choked in his throat with a mouthful of cake, and finally swallowed the cake easily, and then looked at Lu Tong: "What did you say?" ”

"I want to borrow some silver from Shopkeeper Du." Lu Tong said: "I owe you a contract, and I will pay you back in a few days." ”

Du Changqing looked her up and down, snorted, walked past her inside, and after a while, he took out a key from under the medicine cabinet, and turned out a box from nowhere to hand it to Lu Tong.

Silver Kite looked at the box and asked tentatively, "Is this ......?"

Du Changqing said angrily: "I counted it a few days ago, in the past two months, I have made a net profit of two hundred taels of silver in the past two months. Doctor Lu, although your monthly allowance is two taels of silver, I am not the one who takes advantage of you, and besides, you taught me a lesson to Bai Shouyi, the old bastard, and the shopkeeper appreciates it very much. This one hundred taels is your share. He took his eyes off the box with difficulty, as if in pain, "You don't have to give me any debt." In the future, if you make a few more flavors of this medicinal tea, it will be rewarded. ”

Lu Tong was surprised, this person is careful about silver on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be very happy at this time, no wonder he can ruin a huge family property.

She looked at Du Changqing: "Thank you." ”

Du Changqing waved his hand, just burying his head and continuing to eat the cake.

Silver Kite breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu was inexplicably missing a hundred taels of silver, although he pretended to be happy on the surface, he was still uncomfortable in his heart, and Du Changqing was a little depressed on this day. In the evening, before it got dark, he took Ah Cheng back first.

Yinzheng closed the door and returned to the small courtyard in the middle of the pharmacy, where Lu Tong had already changed his clothes.

The clothes were a half-worn lotus gray plain jacket robe, with a men's style, which was collected by the silver kite from the woman who sold the old clothes at the entrance of the temple. Lu Tong pulled her long hair into a man's bun, only thick and thick with a bamboo hairpin, she was born soft and moving, so that the man dressed, more and more white and standard, you can see the identity of a woman at a glance.

Yinzheng shook his head and smiled: "You have to cover it up with powder." ”

I scribbled on some grease again, and it was almost dark. Yin Zheng saw that the door of the shop outside was hung with a touch of fluffy grass at some point, so he said to Lu Tong: "Girl, you can go." ”

Lu Tong nodded, picked up the bamboo umbrella erected in the corner, and went out with the silver kite.

……

The spring rain is cold, and it always seems to cry when leaving people.

The south of the city is very lively.

Under the Falling Moon Bridge, the boats are painted and drummed, and the comings and goings are endless. Hundreds of horn lamps are tied to the bridge railing, like silver beads, illuminating the river surface brilliantly.

Turn the entrance, there is a Qinghe Street, because it is located in the middle of the square, a street is full of teahouses, wine shops, gambling houses, and flower buildings, where the eunuchs and nobles often drink and drink, or will drink and watch the flowers. On a clear night, there are fireworks covering the sky, and the lights everywhere are like day, and the scenery is peaceful and prosperous.

It's the same tonight.

A carriage stopped in front of Yuxian Tower.

Out of the carriage came a young man dressed in a silk jacket of gold and cloud satin, and his face was as handsome as a pearl. He was straight, did not hold an umbrella, and in the low wind and drizzle, he went straight into the restaurant.

Yuxian Building is lively. Everywhere the wine is embroidered, and the shadow is fragrant. The aroma of rouge mixed with the smell of wine on the girls' bodies warmed the lonely rainy night without the slightest chill. In the flower hall on the first floor, there are children from Liyuan singing "Lip Tapping".

It is a very gentle township and a rich field.

The handsome young man entered the building, and a beautiful woman with red makeup saw him in a brocade dress and outstanding appearance, so he walked towards this end in a curling manner, and reached out to hold the young man's hand, but was pulled by a friend on his side, and heard a whispered reminder: "Don't go." ”

The beauty was stunned, and after hesitating, the person in front of her had already staggered past her, and she didn't look at herself more.

She bit her lip, and was unwilling, when she suddenly saw the young man enter the elegant seat upstairs by himself, and her face couldn't help but change.

Upstairs...... It's a place where only guests can go.

She grabbed her friend's arm and hurriedly turned away.

In the upstairs seat, the warm jade plum blossom incense burner is burning with agarwood incense.

The fragrance is fragrant, and the moonlight cloud gauze tent is also smoked a little more elegant.

The room is very elegantly arranged, a few days in front of the low, with a pair of green jade and bamboo bonsai. The chrysanthemum petal jade tea cup is fresh cloud tea, and the freshly picked lychees are served in the royal blue enamel color fruit plate, which is just the right color.

The young man was idle, sitting by the window, and opened the bamboo curtain in front of the window.

From here, you can see the entire Qinghe Street light scene. The night rain was raining, shattered into a halo of yellow and cold silk under the lantern, and a gap of faint yellow slipped in, lining the young man's facial features more and more delicate and dazzling.

He casually tilted his head sideways, staring at it, his gaze suddenly frozen.

In the middle of the night, the palace lights under the eaves seem to be bright and dark, and in front of the lively door on the street, there are two people who are collecting umbrellas. One of them wore his hair in a bun, his eyebrows and eyes blurred by the lamplight, and only a pair of deep eyes remained, like a thin cold in the long night.

Pei Yunyi's eyebrows moved.

Lu Tong?

Between this person's eyebrows, he looked very much like the doctor Lu he met last time under Baoxiang's building.

He looked at the people under the lamp, and there was something strange in his heart.

Pei Yunyi was very impressed by Lu Tong.

Because he is on an errand, it is inevitable to encounter a critical moment when the sword has no eyes, and the women he has seen are not few. Only that Lu Tong is very different from other women.

She was born very beautiful, her eyes were like autumn water, her temples were like clouds, her weak willows supported the wind, she was cowardly, and she seemed to be a delicate flower that could be destroyed by a gust of wind, but she was more vicious than anyone else.

Pei Yunyao had seen Lu Dashan's face, and the sharp marks on his entire cheeks were deep and visible, if he guessed correctly, Lu Tong at that time was aimed at Lu Dashan's eyes.

She originally wanted to stab Lu Dashan in the eye.

Pei Yunyi lowered his eyes.

When an ordinary woman is held hostage, her first reaction would not be to blind the assassin's eyes with a velvet stab.

Ordinary women's hairpins will not be as sharp as a knife.

Where are the three silver needles hairpins, they are clearly hidden weapons.

The rouge shop is filled with sweet fragrance, and in front of a large screen, the hibiscus is dazzling. The woman's eyes were calm and almost indifferent, just as she was held hostage by Lu Dashan from the beginning to the end, from beginning to end, she didn't see half of her confusion-

Someone beside him called him: "Hongman has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Pei Yunyi retracted his thoughts and looked at the person who came.

It is a young woman with a double ring and a fairy bun, the long skirt of the concubine red and golden begonia flowers makes her skin as beautiful as snow, and she also has a charming face, just standing, she is also charming.

The red girl in the fairy building is beautiful and charming, and it is difficult to chase the group. How many princes and grandsons have spent a lot of money for a smile on the beauty. Now the beauty is standing in the house, facing the young man sitting and drinking tea, with a rare respect, as if there is a hint of fear.

Hongman took out a letter from his sleeve, took two steps forward, presented it to Pei Yunyao, and said in a low voice: "The prince has sent his men to Dingzhou to find people, the case of the military and horse supervisor, and now the right minister is intervening, and it is inconvenient to act, so the prince asks the prince to wait and see what happens." ”

Pei Yunyao let out a "hmm" and reached out to take the letter.

Hongman stepped aside and bowed his head respectfully.

Pei Yunyi quickly finished reading the letter, put the letter paper in front of the lamp and burned it, picked up the tea cup on the table and drank the tea in one gulp, and put the empty cup on the table.

He said: "I won't come here these days, I have something to do to find a small banquet in the palace marshal's mansion." ”

Hongman was busy.

He got up and was about to leave, when suddenly he remembered something, opened the bamboo curtain, and looked out the window at the opposite street.

The rain was heavier, and there was no one in front of the door, only the lone lamp under the eaves was shaking, reflecting the dim yellow water color of the place.

Pei Yunyi asked, "What is the opposite place?" ”

Hong Man followed his gaze and replied softly, "It's the Happy House Gambling House." She saw Pei Yunyao's expression strange when she looked out the window, so she asked carefully, "Did the prince see anyone here?" ”

The young man let go, and the bamboo curtain fell, covering the wind and rain outside.

He smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I recognized the wrong person." ”
