Chapter 67, The Tea House
Brother Yunqing, you are finally here, and my sister-in-law is in a hurry to die when she hears that you are sick. ”
A scar-faced woman crouches under the eaves. As soon as the woman saw that the knife was not a knife and walked into Zuofu, she immediately ran up and said.
Hearing this, Dao Fei Dao hurried to the back room.
"Those eunuchs didn't allow their sister-in-law to go out, and they were clearly taking my sister hostage. ”
"Zhiqian, you don't say such things. Dao Fei Dao whispered.
This scarred woman is none other than Zhiqian.
When the two of them reached the door, they heard someone talking through the door.
"Who's in there?" asked Dao Feidao.
"It's the new little eunuch Ma Mu. The janitor replied.
Dao Feidao and Zhiqian walked into the room, only to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuch kneeling on the ground and crying to the bed with the tent closed.
"Sister Yang, just take a bite!" Ma Mu pleaded with a piece of porridge.
The sound of a woman crying could also be heard in the tent. This woman is Shu Ying, the wife of Dao Fei Dao
Dao Feidao walked up to Ma Mu and pulled him up, then waved his hand to signal him to go out.
Ma Mu handed the porridge in his hand to Dao Fei Dao and then retreated.
Dao Feidao walked to the side of the bed, opened the tent, and sat down on the edge of the bed gently.
Shu Ying had already felt someone approaching, and he swung his fist at the comer.
The knife was not a knife and saw the punch coming, but did not dodge. The punch slammed into his head, knocking the veil in.
"Yunqing!" Shu Ying looked at the person she thought about day and night like rain like tears.
"Drink the porridge. Dao Fei Dao said softly.
Shu Ying immediately got up and hugged him:.
The heart of the knife was suddenly like a spring rain hitting the willows, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
Seeing this scene, Zhiqian, who was on the side, lowered her head and silently exited the room.
......
"Miss Nan, Miss Nan. As soon as Zhiqian walked out of the room, she was stopped by Ma Mu, who was waiting outside.
"What's the matter?" Zhiqian replied.
"Sister Yang's porridge has you drunk. Ma Munuo asked.
"Nope. Zhiqian replied.
"Go and persuade her, she hasn't eaten for two days. Ma Mu said anxiously.
Zhiqian looked at his expression and couldn't help but say, "Up and down the house, you care about the people you care about the most." ”
Ma Mu showed a hint of joy on his face when he heard this, and said, "The little slave is also uncomfortable when he sees Sister Yang like this. ”
Zhiqian sighed and said, "Don't bother Sister Yang today." ”
After speaking, he walked out, walked about ten steps, and then turned back to Ma Mu and said, "Ma Mu, do you have any other work to do today?"
"The little slave was recruited by the old ancestor to serve Sister Yang. Ma Mu replied.
"Then you can walk around the street with me today. Zhiqian said.
"There's a flood in the streets...... This ......," Ma Mu said.
"Go lead two horses. Zhiqian said.
"Little slaves don't know how to ride horses. Ma Mu touched the back of his head and said.
So Zhiqian rode a horse and walked on the street, and Ma Mu was accompanied by water, although the water on the street had slowly receded, it still drowned Ma Mu's ankles.
"Ma Mu, get on the horse, this water is not clean. Zhiqian looked at Ma Mu's thin figure, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I can accompany the girl out for a walk, the little slave feels very happy, this little water is not in the way?" Ma Mu said with a smile.
......
The two of them walked down the street for a while, but they couldn't see anything interesting on the street. Zhiqian was also depressed for a while.
Ma Mu is a delicate person who can see it at a glance.
"Miss Nan, the little slave heard that there was a new actor singing a little song in the teahouse in front of him, and his voice was very clear. Ma Mu said.
Zhiqian nodded. Ma Mu led the horse towards the teahouse he said.
The deep part of the teahouse is also very shabby in a small alley, and it doesn't look like a place for dignitaries. Before the two could get closer, they heard a small tune coming from the alley.
Due to the recent heavy rains that have cooled the temperature, there are not many customers in this tea house.
The two sat down, and the little song was babbling and singing. The age of the actor seems to be similar to that of Zhiqian. A young man next to her was playing an erhu to accompany her.
"Is it the two brothers and sisters who are singing this little er?" asked Zhiqian to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er replied while putting the snacks and tea set on the table: "Hey, this is not a brother and sister but a pair of little lovers who eloped." ”
Xiao Er got up and sighed again: "These two people originally sang with the troupe in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"It's the drama of the prime minister's family of the dynasty......" Ma Mu was halfway through his words, and was robbed by Xiao Er.
"Isn't it? Xiao Er continued: "The little girl has a good voice and is also beautiful and has been taken in by the son of the prime minister's family, what a blessing, but she just fell in love with this poor boy, which was fortunately driven out by the prime minister's mansion, and our shopkeeper saw that the two of them took them in pitifully." ”
"The prime minister's son is not too young, and he still does this kind of thing. Ma Mu said.
"Powerful and powerful. "Xiao Erdao.
"Little Er, bring another pot of wine. ”
Xiao Er was talking when suddenly a voice came from the private room upstairs.
"Hey, I can't afford to offend this master. With that, Xiao Er should walk away.
Zhiqian looked at the two singing and saw that the woman was indeed like a jewel.
"It's really hateful, the prime minister's family can do whatever they want?" Zhiqian said angrily.
Ma Mu's face was heavy, he lowered his head thoughtfully, and saw him sigh and say, "The saint is unkind, and he uses the people as dogs. ”
"What did you say?" Zhiqian asked.
"The Son of Heaven does nothing, leaving the people to fend for themselves. Ma Mu sighed again.
After singing the song, the tea guests around threw some fragments of copper plates to the ground, and the young man who pulled the erhu thanked him again and again.
Zhiqian, who was on the side, sympathized with the two and walked to the play and handed her a silver ingot, but the play didn't dare to accept it.
"Take it and go to the countryside and buy a piece of land. Zhiqian said.
The actor took two steps back and said timidly, "This is too precious. ”
"Take it, anyway, this silver was also scraped by the old eunuch, and you can use it to live a good life to collect some virtue for the old eunuch. Zhiqian said.
"This is my master's reward for you, take it. Ma Muying on the side said.
The actor looked at the erhu man, and the man immediately knelt on the ground excitedly.
The actor also knelt down when he saw Zhuang.
Zhiqian was taken aback: "What are you doing here, hurry up." ”
The man had already cried so much that he said: "Little Jin Miao, in the next life, you will have to repay the kindness of the benefactor by being a cow and a horse." ”
At this time, a scolding came from outside the door: "A good pair of adulterers** actually ran here." ”
