Pei Yuxue did not react.

Xue Yuxiao: "...... On a rainy day, I slept pretty fast. ”

She didn't think about it at all, she slowly relaxed, tucked the corners of the quilt, and closed her eyes.

The night was long, and the sound of rain was chaotic.

After Xue Yuxiao fell asleep with even breathing, Pei Yuxue moved towards her a little more lightly. The last safe distance between the two was gone, his hand was weakly wrapped around her waist, and Xue Yuxiao's hand was inadvertently against his waist and abdomen, separated by a layer of cloth, and the back of his hand was attached to the slightly rough touch of the guard sand.

He was like a warm snake snuggling around her. Pei Yuxue's Adam's apple rolled, and every inch of skin that came into contact with her burned indescribably, and the long hair of the two of them blended on the pillow, and the green silk was entangled.

Xue Yuxiao's breathing was very light, and there was no sound when he slept, and the whole person was extremely quiet. But even so, her sense of existence is still too strong, not so much that Pei Yuxue doesn't dare to move, but that every moment next to her makes people feel a complex emotion intertwined with timidity and yearning.

obviously wanted to be shone by this bright moon, but when she was really close, he was so panicked that he couldn't sleep.

Pei Yingxue heard the sound of the rain weakening, heard the rain stopping, and heard the gong of the watchman, until the second half of the night, when she finally fell asleep and had a dream that was too absurd.

……

Early the next morning, Xue Yuxiao didn't use Pei Lang's call, and he woke up energetic.

This wake-up - good guys. Her hand was on Pei Yuxue's lower back, holding the person in her arms, her legs pressed against his calves, and the gap left before was gone.

Xue Yuxiao's expression froze, and he said in his heart that I don't sleepwalk either? Where are you sleeping and closing your eyes on weekdays, and where are you opening your eyes, why are you still going to play hooligan today?

She quietly removed her hand, withdrew her leg to make herself look a little more ladylike, and then got up gently, and just as she was about to get out of bed, the hem of her undershirt was grabbed by a hand.

Xue Yuxiao looked back and saw Pei Yuxue pulling her, looking over with a pair of eyes as clear as ice.

Xue Yuxiao said: "...... Will you sleep again? ”

Pei Yuxue shook her head and got up to change her clothes. When the two of them got up, they only needed a little movement, and the servant waiting outside stepped forward to bring hot water.

Pei Yuxue was draped in clothes, and her long hair hung loosely, so that her unwashed appearance made him look softer, and even had the illusion of being virtuous and gentle. His hand arranged Xue Yuxiao's collar, put a jade necklace and earrings on her, and asked in a low voice when he was wrong: "There should be a day off after the autumn harvest banquet, why do you still get up so early?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "The affairs of the military government have not been sorted out yet, so I will go and sit down." ”

"Okay." Pei Yinxue said, "Things at home are troublesome and complicated, and there are many craftsmen who repair the garden. As soon as you are not there, some people will eat and gamble in the small courtyard, and they will not listen to what I say, for fear that if this continues, the door will not be strict. ”

Xue Yuxiao really didn't know that there was such a thing, she could feel that Pei Yuxue was taking care of the rear for her, the two were under the same roof, they were partners with the same interests and goals, so she immediately said: "It is inevitable that there will be many things to stand on your own, I will leave Wei Qingyun's team to you, whoever is disobedient will be dealt with according to the rules, if there is something that cannot be decided, let people tie it up and tie it in the firewood room, and wait for me to come back." …… If you really can't do it and don't want to bother with others, go to Taiping Garden to pick up the second brother to stay for a few days and help you train them. ”

Pei Yuxue nodded.

The so-called being in charge of the inner curtain and presiding over the middle feed, must have the support of the housewife, without the family opening their mouths, the people below are easy to disagree, even if it is Zhengjun, they may be offended, not to mention that Pei Yuxue is side room.

As soon as Xue Yuxiao's words came out, no matter whether Pei Yuxue tied people up and waited for them to fall, or beat them first according to the rules, he was famous.

She changed her clothes, had breakfast with Pei Lang, and prepared a carriage to the military mansion.

Jingzhao's "military government" is a general term, in fact, there are 16 guards, each of which has a total of more than 1,000 soldiers, which is close to 20,000 people representing the defense force of Jingzhao and the surrounding areas, guarding the majesty of the imperial family.

Of course, Dongqi is not just this little force. In addition to the Sixteen Guards, General Xiao Miaoxiao also had a unit under his command, called the "Western Army", with a total of 30,000 people, which was currently stationed in Xiping County, Xining Prefecture, facing the Xiongnu bordering there; General Huan Cheng Fenghuan also has a unit under his command, called the "Huan Army", which claims to have 40,000 people, but in fact there are only more than 20,000 people, who have been quelling chaos and suppressing water bandits in Fuzhou all the year round.

The rest are the local garrisons of various prefectures and counties, as well as some stragglers, and some troops that are on the verge of collapse because there are no leaders in the DPRK and cannot pay military salaries, and these are collectively called "bandit armies", these troops are almost no different from bandits.

When Xue Yuxiao stepped into the Wei Mansion, he heard someone discussing the recent frequent bandits in Ningzhou.

"Your Majesty has already seen this excerpt." Xiao Pingyu picked up the piece and patted it in his hand, "But Your Majesty has not recruited troops to quell the chaos so far." The local military government in Ningzhou has been in name only, the people have suffered from looting, and the Bodhisattva barbarian male slaves that are abundant there have been sold to the flower boat by the Yapo in Beijing, and there are a lot of them, and the two places are thousands of miles apart, and there is still so, so it can be seen what the chaos has become over there. ”

Huan Er said: "As soon as those male slaves came over, they offered high prices, and even His Majesty's palace was sacrificed a batch. However, the Ya Po trafficking is also the Ya Po among the officials, and the duty of buying and selling male slaves is legitimate, how can Your Majesty reply with this evidence? ”

"The tooth woman of the officials?" Xiao Pingyu frowned and said, "Loot and peddlers, hanging!" This is the Great Qi Law. I don't believe that the people who sold it are all right, and there must be a crime of human robbery. ”

There are many people in the Wei Mansion, Xiao Pingyu, Huan Er, Li Furong, and Li Qingchou...... As well as Duan Yan and Duan Fengjiang, and several other phoenix generals who were not very familiar with each other, standing or sitting, were all in the hall.

Xue Yuxiao didn't speak after coming in, it was Duan Yan who saw her first, got up and saluted, and everyone got up and bowed their hands together.

"Captain Xue."

Xue Yuxiao didn't expect that there would be so many people on Humuri, and returned the salute: "You guys are at your own convenience." ”

She walked to the bookshelf by herself and sorted out the military government food and salary expenses that she hadn't finished reading a few days ago.

After the autumn harvest banquet, several people were already familiar with each other, and they were not restrained, so they continued to discuss.

"There will definitely be a raiding population." Although Li Furong and Li Qingchou did not deal with each other, the two still sat together because of their kinship, "The legitimate male slave trade restricts the minimum price, since Ningzhou is in trouble, it is inevitable that there will be no food, and children and daughters will be sold, not only Jingzhao recently, but also the slave population of several surrounding states and counties has increased greatly, if this is all regular and legal, it is not a small amount." ”

The division of slaves in the Eastern Qi Dynasty was very simple, and the female slaves who sold themselves were mostly laborers, farms, and hired to do rough work, which was slightly lower than that of tenant farmers, because women were hard-working and could work longer. And the male slave who sells his body belongs to the first-class "musician", not only to do work, but also to his own master, the master is equivalent to the position of the feudal patriarch, and the male slave can be assigned to others at will, or accepted as a room.

Like the scholar girls present, there are hundreds of slaves in the family, so they naturally know more about the slave industry.

Her words are quite reasonable, even if she is not on good terms with her, Li Qingchou also takes the matter as the priority, and continues to analyze: "The top priority now is to let Your Majesty approve our excerpt to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos, and General Xiao's second fold is still pressed in the Feng Pavilion, for some reason. ”

"Even we all know that Ningzhou is in chaos, but Ningzhou Mu and a few Taishou have written to say that there is no such thing." Xiao Pingyu was a little annoyed, "What's the reason, that's the reason, in order to keep her black gauze hat, she doesn't care about the lives of the people at all, maybe she even robs the population and gives her a sum of money!" ”

"If only we had caught the current. Let Ya Po admit that these people have been plundered and purchased at a low price, then you can write again and ask Your Majesty to send troops. Li Qing said worriedly.

"The matter of sending troops is a waste of money and money, and the household department is unwilling, and His Majesty is unwilling." Huan Er said, "But if you continue to stand by and watch, Ningzhou may fall into the hands of bandits." ”

"Where can I catch it?" Li Qingchou thought for a moment, "The Ya Store must have taken careful precautions, and it is too eye-catching to go to the Ya Store to buy slaves as us." ”

This kind of thing is sent by the lord of the family to do it, and it is difficult for the young lords and ladies of the golden dignity to personally select people.

"There is a place where we can go in and get information." Li Furong suddenly said, "Liuhe Flower Boat." ”

As soon as these four words appeared, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Xiao Pingyu's face was embarrassed: "I only promised my Xiaolangjun yesterday that I would never go to Fireworks Willow Lane again." ”

Huan Er drank tea to cover up: "Don't look at me, I'm talking about kissing." ”

Li Qingchou said: "I am a member of the Panzhi clan, how can I have so much money to have fun?" I'm afraid it's suspicious. ”

Duan Yan also immediately chimed in: "The last general has no money. ”

Everyone looked at Li Furong together.

Li Furong's face changed suddenly, her eyes circled around with compassion, and she said coldly: "You escaped from the battle-" She sharpened her back molars, turned her head to look at Xue Yuxiao, and pointed at her, "Let Lord Duwei go with me, she used to go often, it is more suitable!" ”

Xue Yuxiao was looking through the military salary accounts, checking with his hands, and only after being named did he raise his head, slightly stunned.

And the red leaning green (2)

Chapter 37

Unexpectedly, two people who had never dealt with each other since they met, actually went to Fireworks Willow Lane together, to the place of pleasure of drunken gold fans to find the crime of robbing the population.

The two of them changed their clothes, at least they couldn't go to such a place in official clothes. It happened to be Xiu Mu, and many girls from the scholar clan who were in idle official positions came to entertain, going in and out, and there were many acquaintances.

In the carriage of the Wei Mansion, Li Furong lifted the curtain and looked out for a long time, hesitating and not getting out of the carriage. Not long after the death of her predecessor Zhengjun Xiao An, out of remembrance, she has not mentioned remarrying, even if General Xiao intends to give her his nephew as a successor, Li Furong did not immediately agree.

The Qi Dynasty did not have a wife to hold a funeral for her husband, even if an ordinary family died of a husband, they would soon begin to discuss the matter of remarrying, otherwise the old and the young would always have to live as a family.

She wore a pale gold narrow-sleeved cross-collared skirt, ringed and richly dressed, this carriage has been parked on the bank of the Duqing Bridge River for a long time, and the welcoming waiters on the flower boat have long been sharp-eyed, and sent a few slaves to support the fence to greet them, ready to send the noble ladies to the flower boat.

"You're a connoisseur at this kind of place." Li Furong said lukewarmly, "Please also ask Lord Du Wei to take the lead, and the lower official will follow behind you." ”

This errand suddenly fell on Xue Yuxiao's head, and when she looked up, even Li Qingchou showed an expression of helplessness, and in desperation, Xue Duwei had no choice but to sacrifice himself for the righteousness. In fact, she also wants to see this place a little, not for men, but just to satisfy curiosity.

Xue Yuxiao said: "I haven't been here for a long time, I've long washed my hands and changed my ways, you have to pull me into the water, Furong Niang really thinks about me in everything——"

She said as she got out of the car.

"Who's worried about you?" Li Furong followed behind her and whispered sarcastically, "Lord Duwei, don't indulge in it for a while, forget about business." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "I haven't seen any scenes. ”

If the land of fireworks is open again, can it be open beyond modern times? Xue Yuxiao didn't care.

The servants of the flower boat immediately stepped forward to salute, welcomed the two into the boat, and held the ferry, and in just a few minutes, the two layers of flower boats in the water on the willow river were getting closer and closer, which looked particularly huge and magnificent.

In addition to the largest one, there were seven or eight boats hung with red silk around them, and the autumn wind blew so that even the river below the boats was full of powder, handkerchiefs, and fallen flowers that had drifted away.

Xue Yuxiao stepped onto the flower boat.

A middle-aged man immediately greeted him, respectfully saluted the two ladies, and said, "Forgive the old slave for being clumsy, the two of you are a little ......."

"You don't even recognize Xue Sanniang?" The girl from the Shi clan who passed by patted the turtle slave on the shoulder casually, and said with a smile, "This is the third lady who won the polo championship at the autumn harvest banquet!" Master Mingyue, you always know, didn't the singing section of "Qiu Fang" be sung in the building yesterday? ”

The man looked shocked and said again and again: "Three ladies, please come in." Then he hurriedly asked, "Who is this ......?"

Li Furong was very upset, and said coldly: "It's your ancestor, get out." ”

Although she was not angry, her words frightened the man into a face. Xue Yuxiao raised his hand and pulled her, glanced at her, and explained: "Furong Niang is in a bad mood, you should bear more." ”

"How dare you." The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and didn't dare to approach Li Furong, so he beckoned a handsome young man to come and let him follow Xue Yuxiao and guide the two distinguished guests.

The young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked tender, he saw that Xue Yuxiao had a better temper, so he dared to take her hand, and gently rubbed his fingertips in Xue Yuxiao's palm, but on the surface, he was still timid, and he seemed to be frightened when he scolded loudly: "My lord, the male slaves on the ship only rested this morning, and they haven't fully woken up yet, are you here to watch them dance?" ”

As soon as Xue Yuxiao entered the boat, he choked on the aroma.

In order to emulate and curry favor with the aristocracy, a lot of incense was burned inside, but the spices were not of high quality, and they could not cater to the luxurious families of the super-rich. For example, Xue Yuxiao, who was accustomed to smelling precious incense tablets, was smoked by this smell and his forehead ached slightly.

"Brother," Xue Yuxiao squeezed his hand, held the young man's fingers, and asked him in a gentle tone, "You have a kind of green-eyed male slave here, who is very good at dancing, my friend told me, they are idle now, can you call them down for me to see?" ”

The young man didn't seem to have seen such a kind benefactor, his expression was slightly stunned, but he seemed to be fascinated by Xue Yuxiao, and his cheeks were slightly red, "Sister Xue, wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and ask, those male slaves have not been here for a long time, and the official words are not good, for fear of offending the distinguished guests...... If my sister has anything to say, just tell me, and I'll tell them. ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded.

He looked back at her again, led the two ladies to a private room for easy viewing, and turned around and went out to call someone.

"Pretending." Li Furong said.

"Relax," Xue Yuxiao sighed, "You have such a bitter and hateful expression, eager to peel and eat all the people here in your stomach, which little Langjun dares to serve you, what can you ask from them?" ”

Li Furong then pulled out a smile, she didn't laugh It's okay, the smile is even more murderous.

Xue Yuxiao was silent for a moment, then raised his forehead and said, "I should call Cui Mingzhu ......"

Before the words fell, a bell rang in the corridor outside the bamboo curtain.

She had heard this kind of bell elsewhere, and when she was caught in the small room by Xie Budo in the palace, the golden bell that rubbed and vibrated on the skin would also ring on the body of the Fourth Highness - and now she heard it again, it was actually a group of male slaves for people to play with.

The bells staggered, and several men with deep eyes and high noses and dark green eyes stood outside the curtain. Barefoot and with chains around their ankles, they knelt down and saluted the two of them.

These bodhisattvas were covered with bells, and the staggered red threads were drawn into the muscle lines, because they could dance, their bodies were exceptionally healthy and broad, and they were all without shirts, revealing their chests and waists and abdomen that should have been hidden in the fabric, and the texture almost squeezed the thin red threads deep, revealing only a subtle bright color.

Li Furong's face was slightly stiff, she glanced at Xue Yuxiao, and saw that she was also stunned for a while, and her heart was suddenly balanced.

Xue Yuxiao retracted her gaze, and suddenly didn't know where to look, she said, "Come in." ”

A few people opened the beaded curtain and walked in cautiously.
