Chapter 41: Memories 1
Xiao Zhuang was alone in the crowd, and none of the officials who walked out were not staring at Xiao Zhuang with a scrutinizing gaze, and the disdainful gaze drowned Xiao Zhuang, and Xiao Zhuang didn't care, at this moment he just wanted to know Gai Nie's whereabouts,
Facing him, a familiar voice walked slowly, and there was a group of people who seemed to be followers around him. Xiao Zhuang looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be Li Si. Xiao Zhuang stared at Li Si directly, Li Si naturally saw Xiao Zhuang's young figure in the vast sea of people, Li Si Li Si saw Xiao Zhuang, first startled, and then he pretended to be calm, also staring at Xiao Zhuang, with Li Si's movements, instantly more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at Xiao Zhuang together, some people's eyes revealed a sense of modesty and flattery, and some people showed a fierce light.
While Li Si was hesitating, Xiao Zhuang walked up to Li Si step by step and blocked Li Si's way.
It was such an action that caused dissatisfaction among a group of officials around him.
Although this group of officials all looked very angry, none of them dared to speak rashly, because they still couldn't detect what their relationship was from Li Si and Xiao Zhuang's eyes looking at each other. said that the two of them were father and son, and neither of them looked like each other, that the two of them seemed to be enemies, and that the existence of the two seemed to be compatible with each other.
The officials around Li Si are still speculating about the relationship between the two, at this moment, there is an official who does not have long eyebrows to bear the brunt of the show, facing Xiao Zhuang is a duty, in the accusation of scolding, Li Si and Xiao Zhuang both heard the man's back-to-back skills, the official's sycophant, even if the wrong shot on the horse's hooves will not be scolded by Li Si.
, It seems that the official decided that Xiaozhuang and Li Si are enemies, and the person who put the door in his mouth seems to have run away. Xiao Zhuang frowned and looked a little displeased, he stared at the chattering official coldly, when Xiao Zhuang was entangled by Hu Hai before, he had already held back his anger and had nowhere to vent, and at this moment he saw this sharp-beaked monkey cheek flatterer, he planned to use this person to open the knife and sprinkle the evil fire in his heart.
I saw that he was accumulating his strength again, and his palm saw a faint glowing aura of light, and he was preparing to cut this aura open the official's head at any time.
Li Si noticed the inexplicable aura in Xiao Zhuang's palm, and felt that something was wrong, he immediately stopped the official's flattery, and then Li Si smiled at Xiao Zhuang humbly, wanting to talk to Xiao Zhuang, but Li Si hesitated a little at the moment he spoke.
Because he doesn't know what he should call Xiaozhuang at the moment, if he is called 'Master Gai', the secret of the emperor letting Gai Nie test the medicine will be exposed, and the consciousness in the body of the baby Gai Nie at this moment is not Gai Nie himself, but Xiao Zhuang.
And it is still a little wrong to call this person Xiaozhuang, after all, the body controlled by this consciousness is Gai Nie's. If it's called Mr. Guigu, that's even more wrong!
Li Si hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the sharp-beaked monkey cheek who had insulted Xiaozhuang before, his face was already green at this moment, and he couldn't help but be green, this green was still a little white, and the white was mixed with a touch of red and red ears, probably knowing that he had obeyed his words, the official's face was red, his face, ears and neck had turned red, and the sense of shame and insecurity made him immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
Li Si and Xiao Zhuang tacitly no longer paid attention to the official, but talked to themselves.
Xiao Zhuang saw that Li Si was a little hesitant, so he spoke first: "Cough cough that Ying." Xiao Zhuang originally wanted to call Ying Zheng's real name, but when he thought that he was in a position among the hundred officials, he couldn't be disrespectful to their leaders, so thinking so, Xiao Zhuang coughed lightly to cover up, and then he said: "His Majesty the Emperor is here at this moment?" Xiao Zhuang asked, and then he made a color towards Li Si, as if he was asking Li Si with his eyes, whether Ying Zheng was in the palace.
Li Si nodded knowingly, he asked the other officials to leave first, and after all the idle people had left, Li Si slowly said: "It's getting late tonight, so it's better to come early tomorrow if you have something?"
"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Zhuang was displeased.
"How dare you. Li Si said humbly: "I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for Your Majesty." ”
"About Senior Brother. With that, Xiao Zhuang turned sideways to avoid Li Si and made a posture of insisting on breaking inside.
"Your Majesty has already moved by now. Li Si stared at Xiao Zhuang's back and said loudly.
Xiao Zhuang stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and shouted, "Where is he?"
Everything in the empire today is very abnormal, everyone is blocking Xiao Zhuang from looking for Ying Zheng, Gai Nie is completely gone, this hall in front of him is the place where Ying Zheng went to court, Gai Nie will never be here, but other places in Xianyang Palace have been searched by themselves, and Gai Nie still has not been found, if he didn't know that Ying Zheng had just finished the evening dynasty at the moment, Xiao Zhuang suspected that Ying Zheng was also missing, and Master and Xiaoyaozi went out to look for Gai Nie and did not come back for a day. There is also a doubt, why is there such a poisonous flower and plant as Jun Ying Grass in the huge Xianyang Palace, and it is still on the road that all officials must pass through, why does the eighteenth prince appear here at such a late hour? Is it really waiting for Fusu, or is he deliberately delaying time to do something secret? There are more and more doubts in his heart, and the more Xiao Zhuang thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong.
Xiao Zhuang followed Li Si to a brightly lit palace, through the crack in the door, you can see the courtyard inside, a few bouquets of flower shadows swaying in the wind, exuding a strange fragrance of flowers, this fragrance seems to be emitted by many kinds of flowers together, carefully sniff this can smell the aroma of orchids and plum blossoms, as well as several unnamed flowers, Xiao Zhuang took a deep breath, instantly felt that the avatar was much more sober, full of energy.
"This floral fragrance..."Xiao Zhuang said lightly.
"Your Majesty is handling the government inside, you wait outside. As he spoke, he ordered someone to go and pay homage.
Li Si said this, Xiao Zhuang remembered, isn't this the place where Gai Nie brought him that day, but Xiao Zhuang, who was angry that day, didn't pay attention to the beautiful scenery here. Xiao Zhuang closed his eyes slightly. After taking a few deep breaths, his mind became more clear, and the picture of him and Gai Nie in the past appeared in his mind, and a sour feeling surged in his heart, as if Gai Nie had resigned from his job in the empire... If Gai Nie hadn't been assigned to work in the empire after graduating from Ghost Valley... If he had been ruthless at that time and killed Yingzheng, maybe there would not have been a later thing for a while. At that time, I knew that it was 'then'. Xiao Zhuang smiled helplessly, revealing deep bitterness.
Xiao Zhuang involuntarily closed his eyes and fell into yellowed old memories.
I still remember that hot and restless morning three years ago, Gai Nie was informed that he could already receive the Guigu graduation letter, and asked him to report to Xianyang Palace immediately. It seems that the school assigned by this graduation package is really not built, and I was arranged a good job just after graduation.
Gai Nie came to the majestic Xianyang Palace with full of enthusiasm and ambition, and everyone dreamed of.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of entering the palace, he caught up with Ying Zheng's rare private visit to Weifu, probably because Ying Zheng wanted to test Gai Nie's martial arts, so he used this as an excuse to go out and visit what kiln and what courtyard by the way. may be because the destination that Ying Zheng wants to go to this time is more special, so Ying Zheng only brought a personal guard from Gai Nie.
The two of them walked in the bustling downtown one after the other, and the two of them came out at dusk, because it was winter, and the weather was urgent, and the two of them did not walk for long, and the sky was already dark, and the two of them hung this pair of red lanterns in front of the signboards of every store in the market.
Ying Zheng stared at those signboards left and right, and it seemed that he was never satisfied, and Gai Nie, who had been silently following Ying Zheng, looked a little embarrassed, saying that Gai Nie was the first time to come to this kind of place. Gai Nie glanced at the plaque in front of the door from time to time, Yixiangyuan and Yanchunlou are all famous in the Nine Hutongs, but these grades of Yingzheng still don't seem to be in favor, maybe the emperor's taste is different from ordinary people. In the end, Ying Zheng came to the door of a store, and the red lantern at the entrance of that store seemed a little smaller than the others, and it should be the least outstanding storefront.
I raised my eyes slightly and looked at the signboard above, and saw that the signboard, which looked a little shabby, did not have gold lacquer vermilion on it, but only wrote 'Nanfeng Pavilion' in ordinary ink. In terms of the exterior decoration of this store, the name of this store is quite special.
At this moment, Gai Nie felt that the reason why Ying Zheng chose this store was either because he was afraid of being discovered and wanted to keep a low profile, or because there were ingenious tricks in this store. Gai Nie made a slight guess, and continued to walk in with Yingzheng quietly.
As soon as he stepped in, Gai Nie felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, the scene inside was simply very different from the outside, lively and abnormal, from time to time there was a soft or crisp laughter in his ears, upstairs and downstairs were fragrant and charming, men came and men hugged and hugged, looking at the red, pink and green silk, slow singing and dancing, handsome and strong, soft fragrance charming, wisps of fragrance accompanied by the sound of the sound spread, Gai Nie was already stunned by the scene in front of him, but he was still silent. I once heard Xiaozhuang say about the Qinglou, but I haven't been in, and today I finally entered it on business, and the scene in front of me is fragrant and gorgeous, like a fairyland on earth.
"Yo! What kind of wind blew Zhao Gongzi here? At this time, a mother's voice came from upstairs, although it was a male voice, but it had all kinds of tenderness in it, and it made people's bones tingle for a while. While speaking, a young man who shook a paper fan lightly, dressed in purple, and had a light tulle on his face, slowly walked down from the upper floor, he stared at Yingzheng charmingly, and walked in slowly, his posture was so graceful that women were embarrassed.
I saw the young man in purple walk into Ying Zheng's side, gently hooked Ying Zheng's collar with his index finger, and said charmingly: "Which brother did Zhao Gongzi come to play with today?"
"Feng Xiao. Ying Zheng responded with an ambiguous smile.
What surprised Gai Nie was a little, in his mind in the past, the supreme master of the Great Qin Empire was being seduced by a man with an extremely ambiguous posture at the moment, this person would also say the past if he was a woman, but as a man, he was caressed by another man in an extremely ambiguous posture, which made Gai Nie feel unacceptable, Gai Nie thought that Ying Zheng would beat and scold and even kill the man in purple, but he didn't think about it, Ying Zheng couldn't help but not order to kill the man in purple, not even angry, but stared at that person with extremely ambiguous eyes, Gai Nie quietly observed every move of Ying Zheng and the man in purple, and the small world in his heart gradually collapsed。
"Oh, it's not a coincidence. The man in purple said, lightly covering half of his face with a paper fan, revealing only a pair of tender eyes to seduce Ying Zheng: "Feng Xiao has been unwell in the past two days, I'm afraid I can't serve Zhao Gongzi." ”
"Will men still have times when they are unwell?" Ying Zheng's eyebrows and eyes were slightly angry.
"Not really. The man in purple seemed to be resentful, and gently leaned on Ying Zheng's arms, coquettishly: "The weather has become cold in the past two days, and Feng Xiao has contracted the wind cold. Why don't you let the slave family serve your son tonight?" As he spoke, the man in purple pretended to smile shyly, and the glitter in his eyes made Ying Zheng a little difficult to control.
Ying Zheng hugged the waist of the man in purple, pressed his waist tightly against his lower abdomen, and then said with a beastly expression: "If there are no new tricks tonight, be careful that I eat you." Ying Zheng said, his hand went down and pinched the soft buttocks of the man in purple fiercely.
"Oops, you're hurting people. The man in purple knocked Ying Zheng's shoulder coquettishly, and then the two of them walked up to the deepest room on the second floor together. Gai Nie has been silently following behind Yingzheng.
Walking to the door of the room, Ying Zheng ordered Gai Nie to wait for him outside the door, and then walked in, and at the moment when the man in purple and Ying Zheng closed the door, Gai Nie vaguely heard the man in purple say mockingly: "Why don't you let the handsome guy at the door come and play together, it will be more exciting." ”
Gai Nie only felt that his face was flushed, although he had heard of the existence of the South Wind Pavilion in the market, but Gai Nie had never been able to imagine that the Oiran inside was actually a man. Gai Nie thought that the guests inside should be young ladies or concubines from some dignitaries, but he didn't expect that even the guests were men, no wonder there was such a sentence in the streets, 'Ask where Nanfeng knows, and there will be no more women's fragrance from now on.'" It turns out that there really isn't even a woman in the South Wind Pavilion.
Looking at the picture of those mandarin ducks wanting to hug in the lobby, Gai Nie felt very uncomfortable, he shrugged his shoulders, a little displeased, thinking that he was forced to come to this kind of place on his first day of work, it was really annoying enough, it seemed that this Yingzheng was not a serious king. Just as Gai Nie was sulking, a man dressed in red walked up, his red veil swaying in the wind, and a seductive smile gave him a hint of evil charm. The man in red picked up Gai Nie's chin with his fingers, and said with a coquettish smile: "Childe, you come to teach the slave family to play the qin." ”
"I won't. Gai Nie tilted his head slightly, dodging the finger teasing of the man in red.
"Then why don't I teach my son to play the piano. The man still spoke in an extremely seductive voice.
"Can you play the qin?" Gai Nie looked up and down at the man in red in front of him, and saw that this person had fair skin and a beautiful face, and it seemed that he could be regarded as the Oiran here.
"Fuqin is nothing more than 'light and slow twisting and wiping and picking', Childe, why don't we go and have some fun, what do you say?" said the man in red, holding his palm on Gai Nie's chest, and drawing circles on Gai Nie's chest with his fingertips.
When Gai Nie heard this, he knew the intention of the man in red, and he said in a cold voice, "Before I decide to kill you, get out of my sight." ”
The man in red knew that he was not Gai Nie's dish, so he complained softly: "You deserve to show the door!" The man in red gave Gai Nie a blank look, and then left in disappointment, going to the crowd to find his next prey.
