Volume 1 Investigation of Corruption, Life and Death Are Inseparable, Encounter the Deceased, Chapter 21, Bamboo Horse Sees Qingmei

It's another sleepless night, Luokui has a shallow sleep, and if there is something in his heart, he can't sleep even more, and only takes a nap when the rooster crows. Soon the day dawned, the warm sun flowed through the thick shade, slowly moved to the half-open long window, the breeze sent in the fragrance, the morning gardenia first bloomed, embedded in the thick green leaves, warm and moist like jade.

At this time, it is close to the summer heat, it is the hottest time of the year, Luo Kui changed into a new moon-white plain gauze dress, wearing a light blue lotus pattern Wu Luo skirt under her head, and a thin brocade Ruyi silk at the waist. Sitting in front of the dressing table under the window, his plain white face was reflected in the smooth rhombic glasses, his eyebrows and eyes were hazy, and his eyes were light blue.

Luo Kui sighed faintly, but if she didn't sleep well at night, she would have slightly swollen and blue eyes the next day, she pinched a snail and dipped it in water, and drew a water bend eyebrow on the bronze mirror.

When painting the left eyebrow, her hand paused slightly, and vaguely remembered that Jingmo said when she was a child that she didn't like this watery bent eyebrow, saying that it was dull and boring, and said that his favorite was Qiu Niang's eyebrows, and she was still smiling.

Luo Kui was stunned, then wrung a warm towel, was about to wipe off the right eyebrow and redraw, turned his eyes but lost his smile, when moved to the color to please the mind, it was not as usual herself, she was a little depressed, raised her hand to throw the towel back into the basin, the water splashed on the ground, the shallow water marks like flowers, carefully looked at the water in the mirror bent eyebrows, this is quite satisfied nodded.

The jade comb was dipped in osmanthus oil, slowly falling from the top of the head to the tips of the hair, Luo Kui was born with a pair of clumsy hands, lived for more than ten years, and only combed a hanging hair back and forth, even a man like Suzi was not as good, when the new hair bun he only glanced at, combed it two or three times on her head, and it was very good-looking.

There are three hairpins lying quietly in the box, the elegant and gentle plum blossom head white hosta, the extravagant and dazzling red gold danfeng ruby bead hairpin and the brilliant glazed jade lotus flower swaying, Luo Kui gently stroked, and finally picked up the inconspicuous plum blossom head white hosta, obliquely into the hair bun, and then ordered a pearl inlaid treasure flower at the back.

Packed up and stopped, Luo Kui held the bronze mirror and took a careful photo of the front and back, the makeup was light, except for a light blue under the eyes, there was nothing wrong with it, so he greeted Du Heng, set up the ash shed carriage, and went to Shengze Street without hurrying.

The end of Shengze Street is connected with the entrance of the view, is a very wide square, a flagpole stands in the middle of the square, passes through the Chengtian Gate on the south side of the square, crosses a jade belt bridge, is the imperial city where the royal family and nobles live, the city in this city is lined with high gates and marquis, it is said to be the imperial city, in fact, there is no Xiao wall separated from the inner city of Qingzhou, although the four gates of the imperial city are illustrious furnishings, but the perennial garrison is heavily garrisoned, the ordinary people do not dare to provoke the times in the imperial city, of course, the price in the imperial city is extremely high, the ordinary people can not afford to buy an inch of land with the strength of the whole family, can not afford to build a house and a tile, so the royal relatives and nobles occupy the best boundary in this Qingzhou city in addition to the palace city, it is the imperial city, and the dignitaries occupy most of the Zhuangzi fields and mountains and forests in the inner and outer cities, and ordinary people can only struggle in the cracks.

Today is the big day of the opening of Shengze Street, and the bustling crowd pushes Jingmo and Qu Lian, and walks forward involuntarily, all the way to the front of the view.

At a glance at the stalls on both sides of the road, Jingmo caught a glimpse of a jade wrench, and was about to come to the front to take a closer look, but there was an exclamation in his ears: "Jingmo, Jingmo, is it you, you, how did you come to Qingzhou." ”

Jingmo followed the voice and looked anxiously, and at a glance he saw the appearance of the person who came, and couldn't help but open his mouth so wide that he had to hold it with his hand so as not to fall to the ground, and a pair of good-looking bright eyes were as big as copper bells.

After carefully looking at the person who came for a while, and confirmed that it was the face he had been thinking about day and night, Jingmo couldn't help but take her hand, crying and laughing for a while: "Ah Kui, it's really you, it's really you, I said that when I went out today, why did the crow scream, and I really found you, the yellow-haired girl." ”

Crow, Luo Kui suddenly seemed to have countless crows flying in front of her eyes, black pressed a piece, unlucky tight, she shook off his hand, shook her head to clean the crows one by one, and said: "You yellow-haired boy, look like you from afar, it turns out that it is really you, when did you come, why don't you come first, I will also go to meet you." ”

Jingmo raised his hand and flicked a violent shudder at the door of her head, and said angrily with half-truths and half-truths: "You still dare to say this, I have written more than a dozen letters, but you haven't replied to any of them, I still look at your development, and I don't want to deal with my poor friend, no, I have to come directly to Qingzhou to block your door, who would have thought that you didn't live in the former house." ”

The summer breeze suddenly swept over the branches, and there were scorching pomegranate flowers falling on Jingmo's shoulders, and Luo Kui raised his hand to brush it away, so as to hide his guilt and weakness, lowered his eyebrows for a moment, and slowly said the excuse that he had already thought of: "How could I forget you, I moved, the rent of the house in the past has risen, and I can't afford to live in it." ”

Jingmo gritted his back molars fiercely, hating the roots of his teeth itching, the pain of displacement in the past few months, and the fear of an uncertain future, all turned into vicious words on his lips: "You dead girl, don't tell me when you move, if you delay for a few more days, I will starve to death on the street." ”

Luo Kui glanced at him, with a cold smile on his face, and sighed in his heart because of his sneering: "Qingzhou City is full of gold, you would rather starve to death than bend down to pick it up, you really have a backbone." ”

Jingmo wrinkled his eyebrows and pouted, making a fierce and vicious face, and the words of ridicule kept popping out of his mouth: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still so sharp-toothed, look at you, your hair is still yellow and less, and your body is still dry and thin, but your face is much better than when I was a child, I almost didn't recognize it." He raised his hand and pinched the thin flesh on her cheek: "It's strange, why is there no less flesh on this face." ”

Luo Kui broke free of his dirty hands, raised his hand and rubbed the scars on his face that were gradually healing, and made a full set of this scene of encounters, seeing that he gasped in pain, he smiled and laughed: "Look at your face injury, who are you fighting with, you just came to Qingzhou to fight with people, you are not ashamed, I still don't want to show my eyes." ”

Jingmo pursed his lips disdainfully: "Knowing that I was injured, and deliberately hurting me, why is your heart so ruthless, who dares to marry you, what if you want to murder your husband on a whim one day." ”

Luo Kui choked up, feeling that he couldn't suffer such a big loss in vain, so he twisted the flesh on his cheek fiercely, and when he saw him jumping in pain, he laughed uncontrollably: "You are useless, you are full of stinky problems, and this face can still be seen, but it is a pity that now you have been beaten, and you will be lonely and old from now on." ”

It was originally a very ordinary sentence, but unexpectedly said that Jingmo's heart, but also the most afraid of his heart, he entered Beijing this time not only to avoid trouble, with the paper marriage contract in his arms, naturally he wanted to fulfill with Luo Kui, listening to this, for fear that the marriage would not be successful, he couldn't help frowning slightly as if his heart ached, the soft willow branches swayed in the wind, caressing his scarred face, he was a little aggrieved, but he couldn't speak, only snorted lowly: "You also judge people by their appearance." ”

Although these words have no head and no brain, but cast a slight wave on Luo Kui's heart, the memory of Jingmo is very generous, and the mind is simple, never care about the deep meaning of the words, how to see you again after a few years, Jingmo is more clear and durable than before, but there are also more nine-song exquisite eyes, the breeze blows in the ears, the ruby earrings tremble slightly, the rustling sound is long, she can't figure out his mind.

After a short period of silence, Qu Lian easily caught this gap, squeezed into the middle of the two, looked at Jingmo, and turned her head to look at Luo Kui, she couldn't bear the suspicion in her heart, and finally opened her mouth in surprise: "Luo Kui, you, you and Jing Mo, do you know each other." ”

Luo Kui pretended to look at Qu Lian in surprise: "Naturally, Qu Lian, why are you here, you, are you in the same place, how do you recognize Jingmo." ”

Without waiting for Qu Lian to speak, Jing Mo smiled and said: "A few days ago, I bought a fake on Shengze Street, and I was beaten when I was arguing with the merchant, but fortunately Qu Lian saved me and paid the silver for me for a few days, otherwise I wouldn't have survived to see you." ”

Luo Kui raised her eyes and chuckled, and said in a long tail: "Oh, in this way, Qu Lian is still your savior." ”

"That's nature, Qu Lian is the most beautiful and kind-hearted. Jingmo looked back, smiled softly at Qu Lian, turned his eyes to Luo Kui angrily, pointed to the wound on his face, and said angrily: "Where is it like you, people are ugly and ruthless, you see, my injury is not yet complete, and it was cracked by you again, and it hurts." ”

"Did I rub it, it was clearly cracked by your own teeth and claws. Luo Kui glanced at him and smiled coldly.

At this time, Qu Lian had already understood the trick, and smiled to hold Jingmo's hand, as close as a few days ago: "Oh, I understand, you said that the Ah Kui you were looking for was Luo Kui, why didn't you say Luo Kui's full name, if you did, you wouldn't have found it a long time ago, why not suffer so many days." ”

"Exactly. Jingmo remembered the love affair with Luo Kui since childhood, remembered the purpose of coming here, and also knew Luo Kui's temperament, for fear that she would perceive her amorous nature, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and quietly avoided Qu Lian's hand, and said with a smile: "Ah Kui and I are childhood sweethearts in the play book. ”

Luo Kui didn't see the small movements of Jingmo and the two, only glimpsed Qu Lian's fleeting gloom, but didn't think about it deeply, heard Jingmo's words, raised his eyebrows, what a childhood sweetheart, what two little guesses, these words in the play book have never ended without a problem, and I couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Yes, yes, Qingmei fights bamboo horses, and never shows mercy to his subordinates." ”
