Chapter 100: Prelude
On the banks of the river, the wicker swayed gently in the gentle wind, and the young leaves that had just been pulled out, broken strings, floated in the air and fell into the hustle and bustle of the streets, and some of the leaves rode the wind and fell into an attic with an open window. In the open window of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info you can hear the piano plucking the strings, and the woman's clear tone should sing a little song softly with the accompanying tune.
Downstairs is full of people, noisy, attic, a young scholar in a green robe sitting, closed his eyes quietly listening to the soft fingers plucking the strings, opposite, a woman in a white skirt on the soft collapse, gestures, has a sad and pleasing temperament.
A man and a woman, quite harmonious, just in time for a pair of beautiful people.
Occasionally, the man would open his eyes and look at the jade man in front of him, and the woman happened to notice it slightly, and when she looked at him, she suddenly smiled softly, and her eyebrows and eyes showed a clarity that seemed to be able to read people's thoughts, and there was an urge to make people confidant.
The woman's smile was full of invisible charm, and she seemed to be infected with her heart unconsciously.
The end of the song.
Her hands slowly drooped, just as a breeze blew in, blowing the green silk, as if the aftermath was not broken, filling the room for a long time. The man seemed to be unsatisfied, closed his eyes, savored it, and after a while, he opened his eyes, "The teacher's piano skills are really addictive to it, if you can't hear this good news in the future, it's really a regret for life." β
"Teacher ....."
After a while, the man leaned forward slightly, and said: "It's better to redeem yourself for you, the family is actually quite rich, if the master is willing to ......."
In the middle of speaking, a woman in a white dress with strings on the piano smiled slightly, waiting to speak. Suddenly, outside the room, a series of footsteps sounded in the corridor, the door was pushed open, and several soapy fans blocked the exit with knives, and Li's mother was anxious to go behind her, but she couldn't squeeze it, so she had to keep winking at Master Li.
"What is the matter with the father-in-law looking for a teacher? β
Master Li got up and bowed outside the door, his expression was neither flattering nor timid.
In the soapy clothes, one person said: "The overseer instructed, tomorrow there are distinguished guests in the mansion, please ask the teacher and the girl to go over and play a song, I hope the girl can come over early tomorrow, don't neglect the distinguished guests." β
"Who are you, the master is a master of the piano, since you are invited, how can you say that you are rude?" The man in the room got up and looked at the soapy man angrily.
Mother Li finally squeezed over at this time, waved her palm with a little finger missing in the middle and said with a smile: "Don't be annoyed, this father-in-law has just entered Beijing, I don't know what kind of person your father-in-law is, and I hope that my father-in-law will temporarily calm the anger of the thunder, and my mother promises to personally send the master to the Admiral's mansion tomorrow, if it is late, ** and then bite down a finger to make amends." β
"Words, our family has already conveyed, if it can't be reached, that's your business. The soapy man led his colleague away and went downstairs.
The man's face was flushed, obviously angry, he pointed to Fanzi who had already gone downstairs, and said: "These people..... these people are the eunuchs of the East Factory? β
Master Li smiled bitterly, sighed and turned over, "You can't control it......"
The man wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li's mother, and she said: "Don't say that your uncle, even when Cai Xiang came, it is impossible to offend the people of the Dongchang for a prostitute." β
"I don't believe it, I'll go back. β
The man in the scholar's robe arched his hand, "Don't worry about the teacher, I'll go back and ask my uncle, but you have to wait for me." β
After saying that, he said goodbye and left, and hurried downstairs.
"Master..... I'm afraid it's not good to let this son go to Wang Shaozai.....in case ....." **Looking at the man who has run away, if there is a conflict between the two sides, I am afraid that the embroidery floor will be caught in the middle, and I am a little afraid to think about it.
Master Li looked at the bronze mirror, his eyebrows tightened, "The master can't dissuade him, he still has to go if he wants to go." β
Complaining, she looked out the window, and the spring was shining.
........
The sun shines down from the gaps in the trees, and the spots of light are imprinted on the ground. Bai Mansion, in the garden grove, Bai Muqiu sat in the pavilion under the tree, holding a scroll in his hand and looking at it, wearing a black shirt open and rolling up his back. Chunlan and Dongmei served left and right, holding a medicine bowl, and Xifu squatted behind him with a scarf dipped in the dark potion and carefully smeared it.
"Xiang Gong.. Yes... Still... Does it still hurt?"
Xifu's eyes were moist, and he wanted to touch the blood cocoon gently, but he was afraid of hurting Xianggong, so he hesitated and clenched his small fist, "Xianggong....the one who wears yellow clothes... Of....Does someone beat you?...Sorry to help you beat him..... will definitely ....hit him....can't beat him... I.. Bite him. β
Hearing in his ears, Bai Muqiu put down the book, and when he looked at her, he was stunned for a moment, only to see that Xifu's face was full of ink-colored medicinal juice, and he couldn't help but pinch her face lightly, "Xianggong is fine, Xianggong just made a mistake, and he will be beaten." β
He turned his head to Chunlan and the others and said, "Take Mrs. down to wash up." β
"Yes. Chunlan and the others, carefully pick up Xifu and go back.
"The face... It's dirty... Wash it up... I'll come back to rub the medicine for Xianggong later..."The silly girl was like a little cat, turning around and waving at Bai Muqiu as she walked.
Under the forest, Xiao Bottler walked over and gently put down the back of the man's coat in front of him, his eyes were full of distress, and he stood beside him, not saying a word, and Bai Muqiu didn't say a word.
In the end, Xiao Bottler still broke the silence, "Lord, when the bottle came, passing by the tea house, many literati were playing the crown to celebrate that His Majesty was good at beating the Governor, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will not be good." β
"The authority belongs to the officials. β
Bai Muqiu's hand trembled slightly, "Fighting Liangshan and killing so many people will damage Your Majesty's benevolence, so there are some crimes that we should resist as slaves." β
"But....But Bottle felt disgusted when she saw the faces of those civil officials. Xiao Bottle's face was full of resentment, and she shouted crisply: "Obviously they didn't do anything, and now it seems that they did it by themselves, these people, Bottle really wants to see one and kill another." β
Spots of light, shining on the silver hair, come to life.
Bai Muqiu put down the scroll and looked at her, "As long as Cai Jing and the others don't fall, these people will never shut up." It just so happens that we take this opportunity to temporarily move them in the East Factory, so that they can relax and relax, we also need to adjust the interior and pay attention to the rivers and lakes, otherwise there will be too much movement in the court, and it will not look good in Your Majesty. β
"Andβ"
His throat was a little dry, he moved, and said: "-- Your Majesty is going to go on a northern expedition, and Fang La in the southeast is not very peaceful, and I am afraid that once Xiao Guizi goes north, Fang La will immediately revolt, and it will be troublesome." β
"Forget it, it's useless to say so much. β
As he spoke, a sparrow landed on the page, tilted its head and chirped twice, fluttering its wings and jumping happily. "You go down, you don't have to take care of Madame, go and check Helian Ruxin's recent information to see if you can find the time of the Mingjiao incident. β
The vial pursed and walked away.
Bai Muqiu opened his palm, and the sparrow jumped on his palm curiously and pecked.
In the next second, the hand grasps the fist.
Flesh and blood flying.
"Your Majesty........ don't be too ambitious. β
.........
Xiao Bottler walked out of the house door in a huff, and suddenly a figure came out on the side of the road, almost slapping his palm. But when he saw that the person who came was the elder brother of the overseer, he took his palm and arched his hand: "It turned out to be the eldest brother, I don't know what happened to stop the bottle." β
Bai Sheng looked at the little bottle with some greed, but he knew in his heart that this woman was born beautiful, but she was also a ruthless person, so he immediately put his thoughts away and said embarrassedly: "Bottle girl, I Bai Sheng has a reluctant request, I want to ask you for a favor." β
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Bottle'er couldn't help frowning and raised his vigilance, "Big brother, what do you need Bottle's help with?"
"That's the case, a friend of mine was forced to live, and last night he actually cut the bottom by himself...., and wanted to enter the palace as a eunuch. β
Bai Sheng rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and said: "It just so happens that I know that the bottle girl is from the palace, and there must be a lot of acquaintances in it, just like asking the bottle girl to send my friend in." β
It turned out that this was the case, and the vial breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the overseer's brother would make some excessive demands. So he said briskly: "Okay, there will be a chance tomorrow, a distinguished guest from the palace is coming to the house, and then let the eldest brother's friend come over." β
Bai Sheng was overjoyed, "That's good, that's good, I think this thing is very difficult to do, I'm just going to tell that friend." β
"But, big brother, you have to make sure he's clean or not. β
The vial said: "Otherwise, His Majesty will find out, and it will be difficult for the Overseer to clean up the mess." β
Bai Sheng nodded hurriedly, thanked him, and hurriedly went out to find Wei Si.
