The cuckoo chuckled in her heart and turned her face, but she smiled and said, "Girl, come here." ”

Biyin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Du Juan was calling herself, she was busy with it, and said with a thousand blessings: "Hello sister." ”

Biyin Yingying smiled and pulled up Biyin's soft and boneless white and tender little hand and said: "This girl is not only beautiful, but also understands etiquette, and she is worthy of coming out of the palace. ”

Biyin heard the cuckoo praise herself, and she couldn't help but feel happy, and her face turned crimson. And when she heard the last sentence, she thought, "Why do you want him to like it?" After Du Juan looked at Biyin carefully, she looked sideways at Shen Mingyue and said, "My lord, who is this little girl?"

Shen Mingyue said: "It's a little girl from Ben Cau, because she is blind, and she can't leave anyone, bring her to your mansion to disturb her for a few days, Your Excellency shouldn't mind, right?"

The cuckoo smiled and said: "Where is this, the house is empty, and the concubine is eager to be lively, and the slaves and maids are naturally welcome." Little sister, I'll get you freshly fried pastries later. ”

Ruo'er smiled: "Thank you, sister." ”

The cuckoo smiled and said, "The adult is light, I will go and arrange a place for this sister to live." ”

Biyin smiled: "Sister, my name is Biyin." ”

The cuckoo smiled: "This name is good, it sounds clear." My name is Du Juan, whether you call her sister, Sister Juan'er, call her by her name or not, whatever you want. With that, the cuckoo pulled Biyin to the inner courtyard.

Ruo'er smiled: "Sister, are you very impatient with those two?"

Shen Mingyue smiled: "It's not that I'm bored, it's just that I have seen too many women's intrigues in the palace, and when I see women who talk a lot, I feel a little boring." Where is it like our sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, if you have something to say, how happy it is. ”

Ruo'er smiled: "Then Ruo'er also wants to be a child of the rivers and lakes." ”

Shen Mingyue picked up Ruo'er and jumped to the roof of the first floor, and said with a smile: "Then today's sister will pass on Ruo'er's method of listening to the argument." ”

Ruo'er said with hope, "If you learn that method, can you see it with your eyes?"

Shen Mingyue said: "I have learned, it is clearer than seeing with my eyes." ”

Ruo'er shook Shen Mingyue's arm and said with a smile: "Then sister, teach me quickly." Shen Mingyue lifted the mask sideways, revealing a little red lips, and whispered to Ruo'er.

Biyin walked behind the cuckoo, her mind was worried, her lips twitched, as if she had something to say, but she was silent. After a while, she finally had the courage to speak, "Sister, I want to ask you for something. ”

The cuckoo looked back and smiled: "What is there to ask for, the girl just said it." ”

Biyin muttered, "Please... I beg my sister not to let me serve the horse master... Let me brush the bucket... It's good to sweep the yard... But don't let me serve the horse. ”

Du Juan was startled at the right time, and then she reacted, and thought in her heart: "This girl has lived in the deep palace for a long time, serving the concubine Niangniang, and she has seen a lot of competition for favor in the open and secret, and she also has some thoughts." When she said this, she wanted to show weakness to me first, so that I should not embarrass her in the future. The cuckoo smiled and said, "Sister, if you ask your sister for anything else, the others will naturally agree." But this is the only thing that my sister can't promise you. If I let the master know that the girl given to him by the Holy God was transferred to brush the bucket by me, a personal maid, then he might blame me. ”

Biyin was puzzled, she said secretly: "It's so strange, in the past in the palace, others were eager to rush you to brush the gong bucket, this sister is as if she is unwilling." She sighed and said, "I'm too confused to do things on weekdays, I don't know how many times I've been scolded, if I serve the horse master, I will often make him angry." Sister, in order to make Master Ma less angry, and in order to make me suffer a few fewer beatings, you can help me. ”

Du Juan said secretly: "This sister's posture is already low enough, if I hold it again, it will be a little unkind." She smiled and said, "Then my sister will talk to the master of the horse, but I have to let you meet the master of the horse." ”

Biyin smiled: "My sister is grateful. ”

The cuckoo smiled and didn't speak again.

Lin'an, there is a guest building inside.

I saw a person talking eloquently: "Lin'an's restaurant teahouse can be said to be countless, good idlers have lined up a hero spectrum for these restaurants, all the restaurants that can enter the hero spectrum of this restaurant, most of them have a history of more than 100 years, and a cold tofu in the restaurant has a saying and has a heritage." Since its establishment, this guest building has only been more than ten years, but it has ranked fourth.

If you talk about the reason, then it is an eclectic and meticulous ingenuity. Just talk about a dumpling, how do people do it? Hey, tell you. People are to first peel off the skin of the suckling pig, chop into minced pieces, and then boil it on a high fire for 7749 days, every day in this pot to put a seasoning, and on the last day, people add a secret recipe. This pork skin meat glue, even if it is almost boiled. But this is not finished, put the pork skin meat glue into a jar carved with mutton fat white jade, and walk back and forth to the ice cellar, the glue is condensed, and the first ingredient of the dumplings is completed. ”

One person smiled and said, "It took so much effort to make a blind condiment?"

The man laughed, "No, or how to call it exquisite." But then it's simpler, the dumplings should be filled with seven points of mutton, two points of pork, and the remaining one point should be mixed with fish and chicken. The mutton must be made of goats from Chang'an, the hind rump of a half-sized boar should be used for pork, and the fish should be made of sea fish. That piece of chicken, hehe, that's weird. I heard that there is an old Oiran in the backyard of the guest house, and this old Oiran was also a peerless beauty in the nineteen states when she was young! But women, especially fireworks women, are most afraid of people who are old and yellow, and the old Oiran is no exception. And when the old Oiran was living on the streets, lonely and helpless, it was this guest house that took her in. There is a guest house with brocade clothes and jade food for her, but this old Oiran is not grateful, because ah, this guest house is not a good man and a woman, and there is a requirement for the old Oiran, that is, every fifteenth day of the new year, you have to cut two catties of meat from the old Oiran. Hehe, that's where that piece of chicken comes from. Master Horse, you are a character, then try it, which piece of the chicken in today's dumplings is from the old Oiran used?"

At this time, a bartender who served the plate put down the dish and laughed: "Song Gongzi, don't ruin our guest house!"

Dong Pingben just picked up a dumpling and wanted to put it in his mouth, when a fat man came over and said this. And this fat man is that Song Chengjun. Dong Ping smiled and said, "I'm here, and the guest house will naturally treat me with the best." ”

Song Chengjun nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Dong Ping threw the dumplings back on the plate and said with a smile: "I won't eat it." ”

Song Chengjun was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Dong Ping smiled: "I'm afraid of eating curly hair." ”

When the guests on this floor heard this, they burst into laughter.

A pale-faced man at the same table as Dong Ping frowned and said, "Fat Song, get out of the way, don't spoil the Yaxing of the horse master!"

Song Chengjun smiled, glanced at Dong Ping again, and then returned to his desk. The pale-faced man clasped his fists at Dong Ping and smiled: "Master Horse, gaffe." I wanted to invite you out of Lele, but I didn't expect that such a bunch of things came. ”

Dong Ping swept around the dozens of diners on this floor and said with a smile: "When Wan Gongzi first recovered from his serious illness, he personally came out to accompany him, and invited so many young talents, I am grateful." ”

The pale-faced man was Wan Qiwei, and he smiled bitterly: "Hey, it's just a group of gentlemen, but I don't look down on it, most of them are invited by Brother Zhang." "There are only three people at Dong Ping's table, except for Dong Ping and Wan Qiwei, the rest of the people are Zhang Qiandu. Zhang Qiandu said with a smile: "Brother Wan's serious illness is a common occurrence, and he has become a saint who does not eat grains, and the younger brother admires it." ”

Wan Qiwei was stunned when he heard this, and he said lightly: "Brother Zhang, you have something to say." ”

Zhang Qiandu smiled: "By the way, I have something to say, but I don't want you, so I have half of the words left." ”

Wan Qiwei slapped the table up, he supported his shaky body and shouted: "Zhang Qiandu, you beg to fight!"

Although Zhang Jun and Wan Yiqi are Qin Zhonghui's right-hand men, Zhang Qiandu and Wan Qiwei are inseparable. Just because Zhang Qiandu has no fame, this Wan Qiwei is already going to be a waiter. On weekdays, Zhang Qiandu was respectful in front of Wan Qiwei, but since Wan Qiwei's crotch was injured, Zhang Qiandu was called to accompany Dong Ping to discuss important matters. This made Zhang Qiandu think that his weight in Qin Xiang had surpassed that of Wan Qiwei. So in front of Dong Ping, he spoke out to expose Wan Qiwei's scars.

Dong Ping saw that the two of them disagreed, so he was about to fight, so he got up and stopped: "Isn't it possible that the two brothers want to hit me in the face?"

Wan Qiwei sat down, glanced at Zhang Qiandu coldly and said, "Don't dare." ”

Zhang Qiandu said with a smile: "There is no cover in the mouth, forgive the master of the horse, I will give the master a cup." Zhang Qiandu drank a glass of wine and said, "Master Horse, I heard that your house also suffered at night?"

Dong Ping shook his head and said, "This thief is bold, and I don't know where it came from. I thought it was coming at me alone, but I didn't think that many people in this Lin'an City had been killed. ”

Wan Qiwei softened his expression a little, and said lightly: "I heard that there are still many women from good families who have been defiled, but I don't know if these two cases were handled by a group of people." ”

Zhang Qiandu said with a smile: "I can't see it, but Brother Wan can rest assured, this case will definitely not be found on your head." ”

Wan Qiwei was stunned for a moment, and casually understood Zhang Qiandu's sarcasm. He got up angrily, picked up his crutches, and hugged his fists at Dong Ping and said: "Master Ma, I will say goodbye below, and I will invite you to get together alone in the coming day!" Wan Qiwei mentioned the chair and limped downstairs.

Dong Ping sighed lightly: "Why do you want to be like this, it's too hurtful and angry." ”

Zhang Qiandu smiled: "Master Horse, you don't understand." If I don't suppress and suppress the arrogance of this powerful enterprise now, then brother, I will never turn over. ”

Dong Ping smiled: "How do you say this?"

Zhang Qiandu said: "Master Ma, you are your own person, I won't hide it from you, there are so many young talents in Lin'an, and the only thing I admire is two people, one is this ten thousand brothers, and the other is the second master of Chai from Zhou Wangfu." That Second Master Chai is too muddy, and it makes people's teeth itch, but he has to admire his strength. And this Wan Qiwei is really capable, he took the list at the age of sixteen, and later became a county order, and within five years, he entered the temple. Although this is inevitably the help of Wan Da people, it cannot hide the brilliance of Wan Qiwei. And the biggest problem of this person is that he is greedy for face. And not long ago he had a deflated meal, and the thing down there was almost useless. Do you think, if he heals his injuries, learns from the pain, and quits this lustful disease, then won't he become a top character? Just take advantage of the fact that now, when he is half dead, he will fiercely refute his face, making him in a trance and slumped. Qin Xiang saw that he didn't perform well, so wouldn't he favor me?"

"Eh, I see!" Dong Ping exclaimed, but his eyes were as calm as water. He smiled and said, "If Brother Zhang wins Qin Xiang's favor, don't forget to say a few kind words for me." ”

Zhang Qiandu said with a smile: "The master of the horse is in the loss, who doesn't know the weight of your master of the horse, the blessings and misfortunes of Lin'an City, isn't it just your words?"

Dong Ping waved his hand and said, "Laugh, laugh." I now want to be the general envoy of the south of the society, communicate between the north and the south, and serve the Great Song Dynasty. But I don't know what went wrong, the Holy Lord's will has been issued for two days, why hasn't anyone come to inform me to go to the embassy in Nahui Nan to take up my post?"

Zhang Jun glanced at his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Ma doesn't know, now the treasury is empty, and the New Year is approaching." This is related to Nantong businessmen, but it is a life-saving straw to fill the treasury, how can it be hastily? My father must prepare everything before he can invite the master of the horse to take office, and the master of the horse does not want to take over a mess, right?"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Then it's hard work, I also have to be idle, sit back and enjoy it, wouldn't it be happy?"

After everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, they got up and went to Hanhaixuan to listen to the play. When I arrived at Hanhaixuan, I just happened to open the door when Hanhaixuan was not licensed. There have been a lot of visitors outside Hanhai Xuan, although there is an unwritten rule of first come, first served, but no one dares to compete for a place with this group of boys who have arrogant trouser legs. Hula a group of people surrounded the hook fence platform.

At the beginning, several tall women with blond hair and blue eyes and high noses danced. Watching the laughter of the crowd one after another, after a dance, the stage was already full of red silk. The women smiled, picked up the reward, bent down and thanked them, and then retreated.

Next, there are those who beat the flower drum, tell the story, sing the tune, chant the lyrics, and play the tricks...... When it was really you who sang and I came on stage, the people watching were dazzled. Two hours passed, and the outside of Hanhai Xuan was covered with twilight, but the people inside the Xuan were unaware.

Subsequently, another big drama was played. This play is sung well, and the content in the play is also simple, it is a story about a group of richly dressed sons and brothers who spend all day drinking and bullying men and women. Although the story is simple, it is arranged in a witty and thought-provoking manner. Dong Ping looked left and right, and saw that the group of gentlemen who came with him all applauded again and again, throwing up the gold, silver and jewelry. Dong Ping smiled dumbly, and he said secretly: "You really can't see it, this is what you are playing?"

After the play was finished, a short old man in a green robe stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the finale of the next play is the book that Mr. Xishan just sent over." The book is good, but the characters in the back are not arranged, if the performance is not good, I hope you will bear with me. ”

Dong Ping smiled: "Could it be Xishan's imitation?"

Zhang Qiandu on the side said with a smile: "I don't know what the horse master knows, Mr. Xishan is a talented person who came out not long ago, and the play he made up is called a good-looking one." But such a character is always close to him, which is really a pity. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "That play was also made up by Mr. Xishan?"

Zhang Qiandu said: "Not bad. ”

Dong Ping nodded and said no more.

The last play has already begun.

I saw that at the beginning, a woman was washing clothes, and then a man dressed as a scholar came to talk to the woman, sang poetry, and then the two left the stage one after another.

Originally, Dong Ping was acting as an infatuated man and a woman, but as soon as the drama on stage changed, I saw that the woman had returned home, took care of her father and mother, and was about to go to bed to rest. Seven strange men covered in black cloth and wearing blue-faced fanged demon masks suddenly rushed out, and at this moment, the sound of gongs and drums was as rapid as a crackling rainstorm!

Everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately, they saw these seven people break into the woman's room. As soon as the oil lamp on the stage went out, I heard a terrible scream!

The next play is confusing.

A set of Qinglou was hung on the stage, and then a group of brightly dressed boys pushed cups and changed lamps, chatting and farting. After that, I haven't played where the black-clothed men in the ghost masks have gone, and I haven't seen where the bullied woman has gone. But people who understand it smile knowingly, shake their heads and sigh lightly.

Dong Ping looked at Zhang Qiandu and said, "Brother Zhang, this play is interesting. ”

Zhang Qiandu said lightly: "Plausible." ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Count carefully, there are a total of seven sons and brothers who drink flower wine in the green building, and the woman who accompanies her seems to be eight points similar to the peasant girl." ”

Zhang Qiandu said with a smile: "What the master of the horse means is that after the woman was defiled, she threw herself into the Qinglou. ”

Dong Ping smiled, noncommittal, but said: "The play is not over yet." ”

Suddenly, I saw that the stage that was originally peaceful changed suddenly! I saw that the woman suddenly pulled out a dagger from under the tray, and stabbed the seven sons and brothers in the chest with lightning speed. The woman laughed three times and drew her sword to kill herself.

The applause from the audience was scattered, and those sons and brothers who were generous were even more silent at this time.

Dong Ping smiled: "Brother Zhang, you understand now, right?"

Zhang Qiandu nodded and said, "I understand, after that woman was defiled, she went to the extreme." She was dissatisfied with the happiness of others, so she killed them to vent her anger!"

Dong Ping was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "This is not a bad idea, but in my opinion, this drama is obviously alluding to the cases that happened last night." It was the seven sons who defiled the girl, and since then, the girl should have been driven by her family and abandoned by her lover. Under all kinds of grief and indignation, he was willing to be humiliated by the Qinglou and waited for an opportunity to take revenge. Although the woman in the play has a great revenge, in this world, there is no retribution. ”

At this time, I saw a few gentlemen suddenly get up, and threw cups and bottles at the stage with angry faces, and the horns on the stage were shocked and left one after another. The people behind couldn't get used to these sons and brothers acting so recklessly, and they scolded angrily and loudly. For a while, there was tension and-for-tat.
