13 Woe to the city of Yan Zhuo (13)
Bai Qiling was a madman, he beat gongs and drums and threw his brother's corpse into a mass grave, and ordered people to tear down the white curtains in the house and the black cloth on the lanterns overnight. And he, standing at the door of Baifu, with his hands behind his back, with a rare joy on his face, said loudly: "Have a good year!" ”
The servant who chewed his mouth was sent to the Zhuangzi under Huoling Mountain, and then exchanged for a few powerful and intimate, beautiful bonsai that were full of Yanzhuo, and Baifu had already been happily transformed.
When the cicada was pouring the ink embryo, he heard the people on the side: "It was said that Second Master Bai was going to marry the girl from Master Ye's family, and now he has prepared in advance." ”
She didn't talk much, and she listened to what others said, and after a while, Master Mo scolded people, because the bamboo cultivation on the ink embryo that those people poured was not clear. On the second day, the cicada saw how powerful Master Mo in Huizhou was. The Hui Mo made by the people was bought by the imperial court.
When it was dark, Bai Qiling came, saying that it was Xiao Nian who sent some meat and noodles to everyone. There are not many things, just enough for a full meal of dumplings for the family. After speaking, he ignored everyone's applause and gratitude, and pointed to the cicada: "You come out." ”
The cicada was a little afraid.
Early in the morning, I heard Master Mo say that someone wanted to ask for an errand in this ink shop and wanted to exchange her out, because she was the only woman in the ink shop. Hesitated in front of Bai Qiling, lowered his head and looked at his toes, and did not dare to come out.
"I remember you." Bai Qiling said: "That day at the family banquet in the Sun Mansion. ”
"Yes." The cicada's head is lower, afraid that Bai Qiling will mention the words to let her serve.
"Are you strict-mouthed?" He asked.
"Huh? He looked up, wondering why he asked.
"Answer me, is it strict? No matter what means others use, they can't pry your mouth open. Can it be done? ”
The cicada didn't know how to answer, but she thought it was too strange.
"What the white shopkeeper means is that if you are given some work, but no one else is allowed to know, not even your mother or the people who grew up with you in Wicker Lane, you can't say it. Can it be done? Master Mo came over at some point and asked the cicada softly.
"Things that hurt nature and reason..."The cicada can't do bad things, she is weak and weak, and the fortune teller wants her to do good deeds and accumulate virtues in order to live a few more years.
"Copy the book." Master Mo said.
"Why can't anyone else know about copying books?" The cicada doesn't understand.
Master Mo didn't say much, took her into the room where the embryo was carved, closed the door with his hand, and handed her a book. After looking at the two lines, the cicada's eyes widened, and his hands trembled, obviously frightened: "This... This... It's going to be a head-off... I..."
Master Mo put away the book and smiled: "Tease you." Copy the Four Books and the Five Classics. ”
Cicada's clenched the hem of her clothes tightly and looked at Master Mo in disbelief, who took out a stack of books and handed them to her: "Copy it!" ”
The cicada went out with the pile of books and saw that Bai Qiling's sedan chair had gone. He carried meat and noodles to the yamen to look for the night, and asked him to come to the house to eat together. Shine smiled at her, put her cloak on her, and asked her to go back first. It is said that Shinchi County is going to be promoted.
"What is the hall?" The cicada asked.
"It's said that I caught a fine job."
"Finesse?" The cicada opened his eyes wide and sighed in the night: "In this world right now, there are internal and external troubles, and it is common for careful work to be mixed in. Don't make a noise, or you'll die. ”
The cicada nodded hurriedly, pulling the sleeves of Zhaoye's coat and wanted to say a few words to him, Zhaoye said softly: "I'll wait for you at your door early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay."
During the night watch, the flying slave went to feed the fish again. This behavior was really weird, and Hua'er asked him quietly: "You don't eat the fish yourself, you have fed this cat all, are you not hungry?" ”
The flying slave didn't say anything, just reached out and touched the cat. No matter how fierce the cat is, he is familiar with him after feeding him these few times, and he no longer bows to him and blows his hair. Hua'er knew more or less about Feinu, and patiently persuaded him: "Brother Feinu, it scratched you before, because it is a brute." You don't have to be angry with it, you can't deal with animals, don't you say? ”
"Hey, hey." Fei Nu patted her on the head: "What do you think!" I'm going to serve it well, and I'll be useful when I turn around. I heard that Baifu was going to change a group of family members, and the old housekeeper was a strange person. Someone secretly told me that the old housekeeper would let the cat recognize people, and he would choose whoever the cat liked. ”
"And such a thing? Let the beasts choose people? Hearing this, Hua'er squatted down and looked at the wild cat carefully for the first time. The wild cat is not the same as the one in Wicker Lane, and this one in front of him is really fierce, like Bai Qiling. Even if you eat the dried fish for you, you don't seem to think about him, and you don't even look at Fei Nu with your squinted cat eyes.
"Hey, cat, give me a call." The flower tried to touch its back, but it didn't hide. The wild cats in Wicker Lane are also close to the flowers, and she laughs at herself for being useless, but she has a brush to tease the cats and dogs.
Teruya greeted them in front: "Follow, I'm going to the back street." ”
Two men trotted a few steps to keep up with the group.
Hua'er remembered Bai Qiling's dejected face on weekdays, and shouted at the top of her voice. After shouting, he covered his mouth and snickered, Zhaoye was sweating in fright and wanted to say something, but Ah Yu stopped him: "Brother Zhaoye, don't worry about it." Hua'er has run errands for Second Master Bai several times, and she must have a plan in her heart to dare to shout like this. ”
"Shouting." Hua'er smiled: "That Bai Qiling is busy collecting the Bai family's property right now, so he put me aside at all." Haven't bothered me for the past two days. What's more, what the cicada heard: he is in a hurry to donate officials and go to the Ye family to propose marriage! ”
The Ye family moved back to the ancestral house after the downfall, the ancestral house is not in Yanzhuo City, in Liangqing, a hundred miles away, in this cold season, if Bai Qiling wants to propose, but it will be a big battle!
Illumina seems to have something on his mind, and Fei Nu asks him what's wrong? He deliberately slowed down his pace and stayed away from the other officials before whispering: "Today, the magistrate of the county has reviewed a detailed work, and that fine work said one thing, saying that Huo Lingshan colluded with the neighboring countries and sent people to slaughter the goods gang from the south. As a result, the gang was on the rivers and lakes, and the little bandit leader was found by the people of the rivers and lakes and killed, saying that the people of the rivers and lakes would destroy their faces first when they killed people, and the people who died at their hands had such injuries on their faces..."After Zhao Ye finished speaking, his hands were compared on his face, from the corners of his eyes to the back of his ears: "Such an injury." Who do you think of? ”
Fei Nu frowned and said nothing, but Ah Yu opened his eyes and said, "Won't it?" ”
Zhaoye shushed: "It's hard to say if it's that person at the moment, but fortunately, no one saw it when we rescued people." Now the world is too chaotic, saying that the emperor is bedridden, and the princes and princes are fighting fiercely; I want to get in again, and our place is too close to the side plug..."
The flower tucked her frozen-red hand into her sleeve and didn't make a sound. After returning home, I secretly went to the broken house. That Huo Yanshan was still there, and he was not afraid that she would shake him out. When the flowers came, pat the straw mat next to it. He had nothing to do, so he made a straw mat so that she could have a place to sit when she came.
Hua'er looked at Huo Yanshan and asked him word by word: "Let me ask you, that day, people from Huoling Mountain came down and slaughtered the goods from the south, do you know about this?" ”
Huo Yanshan leaned against the wall, coughed, looked at the flowers and laughed: "Why do I want to know? ”
Hua'er kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything about Zhaoye saying that he might be a mountain bandit. Yan Zhuo people were all frightened when they mentioned Huo Ling Mountain. For many years, the three things that Yan Zhuo people feared the most were: paying taxes, serving in the military, and encountering mountain bandits. What is the boundary of Huoling Mountain? Good people go and never return, and bad people are like fish in water. burning, killing and looting within a radius of 500 miles, even the government has no way to take them.
It is said that people who are mountain bandits in Huo Ling Mountain will have a mountain imprint on their bodies, and the eyes of the flowers have fallen on Huo Yanshan several times, intending to visit.
"Want to see it?" Huo Yanshan asked her: "You don't care about the defense of men and women?" ”
"I don't care."
"You're still young."
"I just want to see if you're any!"
Huo Yanshan smiled: "If I am, what should you do with me?" If I'm not, what should you do? Seeing that Hua'er frowned, she sat up straight and said softly: "Show you!" ”
Hua'er was bent on searching, and there were no distractions, a pair of eyes stared at him and slowly pulled off his belt, tearing off the scarred coat, the inner coat was full of blood, but he didn't care, and slowly opened it to Hua'er. His chest was clean, with only one or two minor injuries, and he said, "Left by falling down from a tree when I was a child." Seeing that the flower did not move, he turned around and presented his back to her.
The flowers breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know who she saved, but no matter who it was, it was better than the Huoling Mountain bandits.
"Your name," said the flower again.
"Fathers give names to frighten people."
