The mediocre minister of all living beings

Hearing a few bird calls, Wei Mingqi suddenly felt a splitting headache as if it was about to explode, and his mouth was unbearably dry. He turned over and wanted to go back to sleep, but the bird kept chirping incomprehensibly.

"Another day, someone will kill you and feed you to the dogs!"

Without opening his eyes, he left such a vicious sentence, facing Yao'er into the house with a basin of water, standing there straight, neither holding on to the basin in his hand, blinking his eyes, and asked "Me?"

Suddenly he didn't recognize the voice, Wei Ming opened his eyes abruptly, turned over and saw Yao'er standing in the middle of the room holding a water basin in a daze, and quickly jumped down to the ground: "No, no..." Before he finished speaking, Looking up and looking around, usually a place with a fence is covered with red gauze curtains, but this hut is elegant and simple, with a few good calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and there is no greasy fragrance of makeup and powder in the room. There was a faint scent of sandalwood, and the person in front of him was not painted, but was dressed in a simple and elegant Tsing Yi, with ink-like hair hanging down his side, and asked with a blank face, "Where am I?"

"Chunfenglou" put down the basin in his hand, and Yao'er said with a smile on his face, "Young master drank too much last night, so he rested here."

"Oh..." as if suddenly realized.

Yao'er wet the handkerchief, wrung it out carefully, and sat on the edge of the bed with the handkerchief, wiping his face.

"Your Master, do you recognize me?" He asked while wiping his handsome and delicate face.

"do not know"

"The young master said last night that he had been looking for me for a long time."

He slapped himself on the forehead, with an annoyed look on his face, "I'm really sorry, I talk nonsense when I drink too much, I didn't say anything to insult the young master yesterday, right?"

"No." Yao'er always kept a warm smile, "You really praised me for looking good."

"It's pretty." The man also laughed, "It looks a bit like an old acquaintance of mine. We had a relationship once when we were children, but we never saw each other again. It was probably because of being drunk. It’s only when I think of these wine words.”

"I see"

Waiting for him to dress neatly, the man stood in the middle of the room and groped vigorously with both hands from top to bottom, the more he groped, the more embarrassed he looked.Yao'er seemed to see some reason and hurriedly said:

"My son, go back first if you have something to do, don't worry about these things"

"How can I do that?" After thinking for a long time, he pulled a pearl button from his sleeve and put it in Yao'er's hands.

Yao'er looked at the button in his palm, smiled and said: OK.

Today's Chunfeng Building is not as beautiful as it was then, but it can be regarded as crowded.

Said it was because of the war.

Downstairs, the storyteller and the fortune-teller were sitting in the teahouse chatting, "King He'an was originally the emperor's favorite candidate, but he was robbed of that seat." He said some sensitive words but still dare not speak out, "Although he avoided One catastrophe, he didn't lose his prince, but I heard that his mother couldn't stand the humiliation and hanged herself with a piece of white silk. He was born with a golden key in his mouth, but now he has become a minister and is not valued. It is very pitiful to think about it. .”

"Since ancient times, there have been many dirty things in the emperor's house. If you think about it, which of the dynasties is not two-handed blood, it is just a winner and a loser."

"Oh, poor thing"

The fortune-teller pressed the bell on his waist, attached the storyteller's ear, covered one side with his hand and whispered, "A few days ago, I had a divination. It's Fu Gua, Liu Yin, and the sky is about to change!"

The storyteller's face changed, just as the car was passing by, the cow in front let out a cry, both of them trembled in fright, and shut their mouths quickly.

"Foretelling and fortune-telling, no money is not allowed"

Holding the flag and ringing the bell, he walked in the market.

There are indeed a lot fewer people on the street than before. No matter whether the news is rumor or true, for the common people, it is nothing more than a mouthful of food, an acre of land, and a foot of cloth. As for sitting on a nine-dragon chair Who that person is has nothing to do with everyone, but it is necessary to fight against this Latino man, so every household is listening to the wind, especially the man in his prime, either going out to do business or hiding at home.

Yao'er was still leaning against the window to look outside as usual, when suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door.

"come in"

As soon as the man pushed open the door, Yao'er couldn't help smiling, "Why am I so busy today, Li Niang just left, and you came here?"

The man was wearing a dark red uniform, the collar and cuffs were embroidered with a black thread, and he was carrying a bag of almond cakes. As soon as he put it down, he sat on the couch with ease and said with a smile, "It's a good thing she's gone." Otherwise, my head will explode with her noisy temper."

With a pop, Yao'er said with a smile, "You still think she is noisy, and she still thinks you are noisy every time."

In the past, every time Yao'er pushed cups and changed dishes, Wei Mingqi always sat on the couch with Yao'er, watching Li Niang and He Youqi push the pai gow, throw the dice, and make sure to throw the dice. There were loud noises and yelling sounds one after another, as if whoever had the loudest voice was more powerful.

"Keep your voice down, Yao'er is so quiet" the voice was too loud, and Wei Mingqi would say something with a look of disgust every time.

"It's okay, I like excitement." There was a smile, eyes as clear as a pool of water.Wei Mingqi hugged Yao'er into his arms, kissed her white and smooth forehead, and a faint scent of sandalwood smelt it.

"You two are so boring!" He Youqi complained and immediately turned to open his dice tube, "I'm big! You drink!"

Li Niang was not afraid either, she stepped on the bench with one foot and stood on the ground with the other, raised her head and drank a glass of wine "come again" to shake the dice.

"I heard that she is about to redeem herself?" He Youqi peeled an orange, broke off a piece and handed it to Yao'er.

"Probably soon." The sour taste of oranges overflowed in his mouth, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"What about you? When are you leaving?"

"I don't know." He smiled wryly.

"This Spring Breeze Building can't stop you, as long as you want to leave..."

"I would like to stay here and hide from Qingjing" before he finished speaking, he was pushed back by Yao'er saying hide from Qingjing.

The Spring Breeze Building was supposed to be a place where fireworks are commonplace, but to Yao'er, it was much quieter than the outside world.Most of the people here are straightforward and straightforward. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. You are in love with me, and I am in love with you. The world outside the small window is much simpler.

"I...we, I don't have time to see you recently, how are you, are you okay?" I had already said the sentence, but couldn't help changing it to us.

"I'm fine." There was no expression on Yao'er's face.

"It's snowing again recently, you should pay more attention to your body"

"Um"

"It will be even colder after counting forty-nine in two days, don't go out"

"Know"

"Write less, the doctor told me, if you are not in good health, you should take care of it more"

"it is good"

"You, you..." Thousands of words melted into a few superfluous nagging words on the lips, you, you, you are still too stubborn after all, you, you are just too backbone, you, you, you are just too stubborn Temperament, you, you, you are too thoughtful... He Youqi's heart rolled thousands of times to persuade him, but he still couldn't say a word. If you say you, you will be hasty, and the following words will be swallowed and rotted in his heart .

Before leaving, He Youqi stood at the door, hesitated again and again, then turned his head and said, "He..." After a pause, he suddenly said, "I'll come back later"

The person on the couch trembled slightly when he heard the word he, and then turned into a very nice smile and said "OK"

The blue smoke is faint, and the auspicious snow is fluttering.The world outside the window is too big and too far away, Yao'er waits quietly in this square room, waiting for the promise that seems to be there but seems to be nothing.

It was snowing that year, and not long after Wei Mingqi left, he brought He Youqi to the door together. A pair of bi-like people entered through the gate of Chunfeng Building, and walked straight into Yaoer's room, with envious and surprised eyes all the way. Such a good looking person!Sure enough, God is not fair!Angrily, he drank another glass of wine.

Wei Mingqi took out a paper fan with white jade fan bones from his arms and handed it to Yao'er.

"Last time I was disturbed, today I came as promised, be careful, I hope you like it"

As soon as Yao'er got it in her hands, Li Niang snatched it up and looked at it, and slowly opened the fan, inside was written a Buddhist gatha in a line of elegant script:

There are flowers in spring and moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

Li Niang didn't read much, she couldn't understand the meaning, and she didn't know some words, she said flatly: "You people just read too much, I think it's some kind of treasure, it's better to just buy money and silver."

Wei Mingqi smiled lightly and said: "Miss Li Niang is right, but Mr. Yao'er has unique taste. I am afraid that money and silver won't get into his eyes, so I just sent you a fan. I wonder if it suits you?"

Yao'er held it in the palm of his hand, the white jade fan bones were cold and refreshing, the handwriting on the fan was clean and beautiful, presumably it was written by Wei Mingqi himself, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he said with a smile, "I like it very much, Mr. Wei took care of it."

In a blink of an eye, he saw He Youqi behind him, who was about the same height as Wei Mingqi, but a little thinner than him, with a pointed chin and high eyebrows, which seemed a bit girly and charming.

"Who is this?"

"He Youqi" He Youqi announced his family name and nodded in salute.

"Sir, please sit down." Yao'er still leaned on the couch, smiled and said to Li Niang, "Go and take out the Han Cui in my cupboard and soak it for the two gentlemen to drink."

"You guys are blessed." Li Niang said while getting up to make tea, "This Hancui is the treasure on the top of Cuihua Mountain. It has been covered with snow for many years, and most of it can't grow out. It must be the tea that can withstand the cold. It grows from the snow, and it tastes like snow in the mouth. There is only such a small dendrobium throughout the year, and Yao’er himself is reluctant to drink it.”

"Such precious tea..."

"Then I'm lucky today!" Before Wei Mingqi could finish speaking, He Youqi interrupted to praise, rubbing his hands in front of him, staring at the tea in Li Niang's hand.

"Why are you so worthless?" Wei Mingqi laughed at him.

"Mr. Yao'er welcomes you. Of course I want to taste such a good tea." After opening the lid, there was a burst of fragrance, and there was a hint of freshness after the heavy snow in the strands of tea fragrance.Wei Mingqi smelled the fragrance of tea and couldn't help but taste it, "It's really good tea. Looking at it this way, the fan I brought to Mr. Yu has been lowered. If I get something good next time, I will give it to Mr. Yu again."

Yao'er put the fan tightly on his chest and said, "I like this fan very much, you don't have to worry about it, my lord."

That year it was snowing and the wind was cold, but the four people in the Chunfeng Building were peaceful and harmonious. Li Niang disliked that people who read a lot of them always spoke in a manner that was not straightforward. She brought two jugs of Zui Hongchen from her, the wine was extremely strong and full of stamina, Li Niang said that she must be drunk after drinking, so that she could know the taste of Hongchen, and it lingered in her heart for thousands of times.

Yao'er was weak and only drank a few cups lightly, but Wei Mingqi didn't know where he offended his confidant He Youqi, let alone Li Niang. After drinking so much that Wei Mingqi turned his back on his back, he would never give up. He would give up all of them, dice pai gow, riddle guessing and drinking orders, all of them. Already drunk and hazy, his figure was shaking.

"Let him drink less," Yao'er said with a helpless smile.

"Master Yao'er, do you feel distressed?" He Youqi also looked drunk.

"My heart hurts! It must be my heart hurts!" Li Niang was so drunk that she couldn't figure it out, so she chimed in.

Yao'er shook his head helplessly, seeing that Wei Mingqi was about to drink so much that he fell unconscious, his whole head fell on the table with a bang.

Yao'er quickly reached out to help, but Li Niang and He Youqi laughed and laughed, "Hahahahahahaha, I thought someone's water tank fell down."

He raised his hand to look at the man, and there was a big bump on his forehead. On a clean and white face, there was a big bump on his forehead, which was red and swollen. Yao'er looked angry and funny: What's going on? Not a confidant?How could you be so cruel to your friend?

He is jealous of me.After Wei Mingqi sobered up, he said that he was jealous that I was prettier than him.

Just relying on this bag on your head?As he spoke, he poked it with his hand, and the man gritted his teeth in pain.

Later, they came to the door within a few days, as if the Chunfeng Building was opened by their own family.

"Yao'er and I are not bustards, why do you think this Chunfeng Building is your backyard?" Li Niang asked with her waist in her hands.

"I can't help it. The Spring Breeze Building is just fine. If I don't come for three days, I will think about it day and night." Wei Mingqi said with a smile, turning the wine glass in his hand.

"If you say this, you won't be laughed at by others." Wei Mingqi hugged Yao'er in his arms and said, "Who's man doesn't want to cultivate himself and make his family peaceful. You two are good, and you are going to the land of fireworks every day."

"Die under the peony flower, even a ghost"

I don't know when it started, when Wei Mingqi was drinking, he would slowly put his arms around Yao'er's shoulders, first he took his hand intentionally or unintentionally, put the back of that white and smooth hand into his palm and rubbed it back and forth until it was white The skin was slightly red before he was willing to give up, as if he wanted to engrave those soft and delicate hands in his heart.Then I don't know when I started to hug his shoulder slowly, and later, I often hugged Yao'er on the couch into my arms as soon as I entered the room, and whispered softly with my face next to my face: Yao'er, my Yao'er , I came to see you...

When did he become his youngest son...

Yaoer never rejects his intentions, and never rejects his tenderness, maybe this place of fireworks is originally a deal between you and me, or maybe it is because the sky in this square is quiet but there is always something to be tired of seeing. Day, surrounded by a warm embrace, is also a good choice.

Wei Mingqi and He Youqi often come here, sometimes together, sometimes Wei Mingqi comes alone, they come to drink, listen to music, sometimes they come to chat with Yaoer, sometimes they say they are passing by, come in to see Yaoer and leave, but They never mentioned their family, identity, and official position, as if these were so insignificant, and they never asked if they didn't mention Yao'er.

"Probably some playboys in the capital," Yao'er answered truthfully when Li Niang asked.

"Aren't there too many brothels in the capital? What are you doing all the way here?"

The night sky in the capital city is brightly lit, and it is a hundred times more lively than that in Zecheng, but Wei Mingqi held a glass of ordinary white porcelain wine cup and drank it with his head up, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, as deep and mysterious as the bottom of a lake, steaming with water, Said in a gentle voice like water: There is no my Yaoer in the capital...
