Pei Zhi talked about last night, but Qi Niang didn't listen to it at all.

When she first came to Chang'an, Qi Niang heard Li Bai mention it.

Pei Saburo's mother, Wu Shi, is the daughter of Wu Sansi, and Concubine Wu Hui, who has been raised in the palace since childhood, is the daughter of Wu Youzhi. Over the years, Concubine Hui has been deeply favored by His Majesty, except for the opposition of the ministers, she has not been able to get the title of a queen, and the rest of the ceremonial guards are equivalent to the queen.

Such a noble man in the deep palace, although he has little contact with the outside of the palace, is extremely close to the Wu family.

The little girl pondered over and over again in her mind, both shocked that the top of Pei Saburo's Aya head was a little green, and she couldn't help but feel that this person named Li Linfu was too good at building a bridge.

This kind of secret relationship can be used by him, well, there is a high probability that he is not a good person!

Although Qi Niang is young, she followed Li Bai to the south and north, but she already has a set of her own way to distinguish people.

She was worried that Pei Zhen's aunt would be used, so she thought about the wording for a long time, and finally made up her mind to speak: "Pei Sanlang, you ...... Does A-Niang have a good relationship with A-Aya? Will there be a quarrel? ”

Pei Zhi looked at Qi Niang's puffed out cheeks, her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be extremely curious about Ah Niang, so she couldn't help but smile: "It's okay." Aya A-Niang has always been at peace before me...... Moreover, even if it is noisy and high-level, it is not something that juniors can interfere with. ”

That's an interesting thing to say.

Pei Zhi seemed to know that the harmony between husband and wife in front of him was all pretentious.

Qi Niang also heard the sound outside the strings.

But the relationship between husband and wife is not good, and it does not mean that the Wu family really has personal affairs with Li Linfu.

Even in the prosperous era of the open and inclusive Tang Dynasty, women's names and festivals have also been shackled. Qi Niang didn't dare to speak casually, for fear that Pei Sanlang's A-Niang would fall into the abyss, so she had to knock on the side: "Your A-Niang drinks so much, and she is like my master on weekdays, and the wine pot doesn't leave you?" ”

Pei Zhi smiled helplessly: "That's not it." My aunt likes to socialize, and most of the spring exploration banquets and skirt banquets in Chang'an City have her figure. The ladies and ladies of the high-ranking families and the eunuchs brought to the banquet were naturally good wine, and they didn't drink much, so they cheapened my aunt......"

Qi Niang nodded.

These two banquets in Chang'an, she had also heard her master mention them.

They are all banquets for officials and gentlemen who have risen in the Qujiang area in recent years. The outing to enjoy spring is called "Spring Exploration Banquet"; The drinking feast in which the bamboo pole encloses the open space and makes a curtain with skirt cloth is called the "skirt banquet". ①

Qi Niang does business with flower households on the outskirts of Chang'an, and some of the flowers are used to supply the "Fighting Flowers" activity at the skirt banquet.

But these banquets were all attended by the ladies, and Li Linfu did not have a chance to get close.

Qi Niang scratched her head, thirsty for knowledge: "What else, there is a lady like your mother, there must be activities next to it, right?" ”

Pei Zhi remembered an incident: "I remember, A-Niang likes to go to temple fairs and theaters very much, and she can go to the Xuandu Temple Market on the fifteenth day of every month. ”

Qi Niang is an idle character, as early as a few days after coming to Chang'an, she ran through various markets. The Xuandu view in Pei Zhi's mouth is set up in Chongye Fang, across a Suzaku Street, which is the Daxingshan Temple of Jingshan Fang.

Daxingshan Temple is one of the three major scripture translation fields in Beijing, as a royal temple since the previous dynasty, there are many temples in the temple, which can be called the most in Chang'an.

If Li Linfu really passed through the Wu clan and walked around with the noble man in the palace.

The Great Heungshan Temple is the best place to meet.

Today is the fifteenth day of rest.

Pei Zhi chatted with Qi Niang again, because he was worried about the group of boys in the Beitian Nursing Workshop, and was taken by Qi Niang.

When he left, Qi Niang sighed deeply.

Li Bai's hoarse voice after the hangover suddenly sounded: "What are you thinking about?" Trouble inquiring about Pei Sanlang's mother, and she has to support him. Did you listen to who said what? ”

Qi Niang was frightened. She stiffened and looked back at the bed, Li Bai had already woken up at some point, and her eyes were full of clarity.

"Did Master hear everything?"

"Hmm."

There was silence in the room.

Qi Niang hesitated for a long time, but still felt that this secret matter was not as simple as gossip. For the Pei family, it is likely to be a catastrophe.

She didn't want Pei Saburo to die because of this, so she moved her steps and whispered: "Master, there is a temple fair today, let's go to Xuandu to take a look." ”

Li Bai turned over and sat up, rubbed his head and asked, "What did the fairy say?" Does this matter have an impact on Saburo? ”

The words were very certain, Qi Niang replied silently, and Li Bai understood. I don't know what it is, but I have to go and see.

*

The temple fair of the Tang people was already quite large-scale in the Kaiyuan period.

There are more than 5,000 temples in the world, more than 1,600 Taoist temples, plus temples of local gods in various places, all of which have become the breeding places of temple fairs.

In Chang'an, the Famen Temple's uncovered meeting is the grandest. In addition, the Zhaofu Temple in Chongyi Fang will release a number of lottery multiplier elephants, the Bodhi Temple in Pingkang Fang will be full of joy, and the Jianfu Temple in Kaihuafang will have department stores. ②

In comparison, the scene of Xuanduguan is more ordinary.

This is the first time that Qi Niang and Li Bai have participated in a temple fair since they arrived in Chang'an. In front of the normally orderly Taoist temple, there are already stalls at this moment.

Qi Niang struggled to move forward in the aroma of food, and soon, she forgot the purpose of her trip and couldn't walk in front of a cheese stall.

Li Bai supported his forehead, hurriedly took out the money, wrapped a few Su and flower cakes, and ran out of the vendor pile with Qi Niang on his shoulder.

Qi Niang sat obediently on her master's shoulder, her two cheeks were stuffed with food, and she whispered: "Ah Lang, I can go by myself." ”

Li Baicai didn't believe it: "When you walk out of the pile of food stalls, it's dark." ”

Qi Niang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said solemnly: "Master, let's go to the theater next to the Taoist temple to take a look, if we don't find anyone, let's go to Daxingshan Temple for a walk." ”

Li Bai frowned when he heard Qi Niang mention the royal temple, but he didn't say anything, he walked into the theater with the big man, and didn't find the Wu family, so he went to Daxingshan Temple again.

Such as the Great Xingshan Temple such a Buddhist temple, is the royal nobles, high-ranking officials are eligible to worship, if the ordinary people cross the glazed archway in front of the temple, can be punished for this.

Li Bai and Qi Niang ran into a wall in front of the door, and said sarcastically: "My Buddha does not bless the common people, but the official hat is blessed." ”

When the words fell, Pei Zhi was faint behind him: "Today, I feel that Qi Niang is hiding something from me." Twelve, what are you doing here? ”

The master and apprentice turned around, rubbing their hands together and laughing.

Pei Zhi didn't want to listen to their nonsense at all, so he simply said: "I followed you all the way just now, and I have seen the theater, my aunt is not in it, but ...... My car did stop at the intersection. Twelve, what do you know? ”

Now, it can no longer be hidden. Qi Niang broke the jar and broke: "Your aunt should be in the temple." ”

He hurriedly pointed at Li Bai again: "My master said it!" ”

Li Bai: "......"

Li Bai, who didn't know anything about this matter, had to bite the bullet and say, "San Lang, let's go and have a look first." Do you have a common meditation room in the temple? ”

Pei Zhen's face became a little worse, and he stabilized his mind, and then took the lead and walked in, explaining in his mouth: "The Pei family is not qualified enough. But Ah Niang often went into the palace to accompany the nobles, and got the mercy of the order, so the temple left a meditation room for Ah Niang, and sometimes came to listen to the master's lectures. ”

Pei Zhi had only come to that meditation room once with the Wu family, and he couldn't remember the road clearly.

He followed his memory and led the way silently, and Li Bai took Qi Niang to follow behind. After a while, bypassing the lakeside, Pei Zhi saw the personal servant beside the Wu family from a distance, and was about to step forward.

Li Bai stopped someone: "San Lang, the person outside the door can't be alarmed." ”

Pei Zhen's heart sank more and more, but his face was not obvious, and he only nodded silently. Seeing Pei Zhen's agreement, Li Bai took advantage of the cover of the grass and trees to go around behind the maidservant, knocked the person unconscious with a knife, and lay flat on the ground.

He does these things smoothly, and his movements are extraordinarily chic. And the laughter and obscene words that came from time to time in the room were also heard by him.

Pei Zhi climbed the stairs, his fists clenched in his sleeves. Qi Niang followed closely behind, and it seemed that she also wanted to go in, but Li Bai reached out and slipped back.

"Other people's family affairs, what are you doing in there!"

Qi Niang thought to herself, I have to secretly see if it is Li Linfu!

At this time, a male voice in the room came out intermittently along the crack in the door: "You go back, enter the palace and tell Concubine Hui that King Shou (Li Xuan) was brought up by King Ning, and it has only been two years since he returned to Chang'an, and his temperament must be raised in order to be as ambitious as His Majesty, and he can't be in a hurry, and he can't always be hostile to the prince......"

Li Bai was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time. I thought it was just a family affair of the Pei family, but who knew that Li Linfu in the imperial history and Concubine Wu Hui in the palace were involved, and it seemed that the words were not conducive to the prince.

The fewer people who know about this, the better.

Li Bai pulled Pei Zhen, the other party's face was already pale, but he still gave a reassuring look, and said softly: "Today's benevolence and righteousness Pei Zhi remember in my heart." Twelve Lang, you take Qi Niang to go first, when you haven't encountered this incident. ”

Li Bai sighed, knowing that they couldn't get involved anymore in this matter, so he picked up Qi Niang and left.

Pei Zhi waited for them to go away, pushed the door and went in.

At the beginning of the conversation, he was still calm, but after that, a teapot fell in the house, and Li Linfu came out with a calm face and hurriedly left Daxingshan Temple.

Wu's voice was tired and quiet: "Is your father really here?" ”

Pei Zhen: "Not really. ”

Wu smiled and said, "Then go and invite him, I'll be here, waiting for him to come." ”

Pei Zhi endured it for a long time, and couldn't be angry with his mother, so he had to slam his fist on the table, which made his aftermath tremble.

Wu shook his head: "I told your father a long time ago that always pretending to be in harmony between husband and wife in front of you will hurt you one day." San Lang, listen, I and you Aya go together, and it is no different from the marriage between the seven surnamed wang clans in the past, all for the sake of profit and dispersion. ”

"Now that the Wu clan wants to go one step further, they need someone like Li Linfu. It's just like that, if you come here, he will only blame me for implicating Pei's family. ”

Pei Zhi didn't want to listen anymore, and walked out of the meditation room quickly with his head down: "I'll go and ask my father." ”

When the temple fair was about to disperse, the remnant sun dragged the shadow of the carriage and horse for a long time.

After Pei Guangting, the servant of the ministry, talked with his wife Wu behind closed doors, it seemed that they had discussed countermeasures, and when they came out again, they became a harmonious couple in front of everyone.

As if nothing had happened.

The Pei family can only endure this at the moment, after all, they and the Wu family are still grasshoppers on the same rope. Fortunately, only San Lang and a personal servant knew the news, Pei Guangting returned home, and he found a crime and killed the person with a cane.

The days are stable again.

A few days later, news suddenly came out of the palace that King Shou would be sent to live in the Ten Princes' Mansion, and Li Linfu, the Cheng of the Imperial History, was removed from the Imperial History Terrace and sent to the military department to become Pei Guangting's subordinate.

The Pei family was panicked, and Pei Zhi didn't show up much recently.

Li Bai was entangled tightly by Qi Niang, and seeing that the little girl was really worried about Pei Sanlang, she had to find a name for playing and went to Pei Mansion to find Pei Zhen.

In the living room of the Pei family.

Li Bai chatted with Pei Zhi for a few words, and found that although San Lang was a little green at the moment, he was in good spirits, so he smiled and joked.

Qi Niang was bored holding the sword, sitting next to Li Bai and dozing off, until the maidservant brought refreshments, and her eyes lit up suddenly. When Wu arrived outside the door, he saw the sparkling appearance in Qi Niang's eyes.

The smile on her face froze, and she pulled Pei Guangting's sleeve sideways and whispered: "Lang Jun, look at that child, does he look a little like ......?"

Pei Guangting looked sideways, and was facing Shang Qi Niang tilting his head curiously.

He couldn't take his eyes off it: "There is indeed some similarity." ”
