Yuque Qiu

"Liu Qi—"

Yan Yuque put down the neon clothes and feather clothes in his hand, rushed to the door and shouted, looking around, "Liu Qi——Liu Qi, where are you?"

"Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Hearing the voice, Yan Yuque was overjoyed, but when he looked back, he saw Yan An who was blinking and still yawning. Yan Yuque didn't go back to the house at night, so Yan An could only stay in Lingjin Courtyard.

Yan Yuque hurriedly asked, "Where's Liu Qi? Where did Liu Qi go?"

Yan An hadn't fully woken up yet. He jumped up when he heard his grandfather's voice in his sleep. It took him a while to realize, "Mr. Liu? Isn't Mr. Liu always with you?" Look into Liu Qi's room.

"He's not here." Yan Yuque frowned, and his face darkened.

Seeing this, Yan An came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, I'll go find you now, maybe Mr. Liu just went to the street to buy some biscuits, maybe he'll be back after a while .”

Yan Yuque didn't make another sound, and waved Yan An to look for it. He went back to the room and sat down at the table. Turning his head, he saw the neon clothes and feather clothes that he put on the table just now.In fact, he knows very well that there is no one else in this world who can take out another intact neon dress and feather coat, except for Lian Wu, and if he engraves this dance dress with him, then Liu Qi must...

Thinking back, in fact, Liu Qi's words and deeds were a little strange yesterday, but I never cared about other people's emotions so I didn't notice it.

"If my lord and Ms. Xu get married in the future, if one day the little one has to leave my side, won't my lord... soon forget about the little one?"

"But the little ones will always remember the adults in their hearts..."

Even the fifth set up made Liu Qi weave the flower book according to the wrong pattern, which caused the original part to be destroyed. In addition, it was impossible to make another copy because of the rush of time. He was implicated and punished for this neon clothes and feather clothes...

So Liu Qi used himself... to change into the neon clothes and feather clothes.

Yan Yuque still didn't believe this to be true, always felt that he was still in a dream and hadn't woken up, but after seeing Yan An who came back with a sad face, Yan Yuque finally believed it.

Maybe Liu Qi knew that even if he was forced to die, he would never make that deal with Lian Wu, so he went there in person, not only for Lingjinyuan, but also for himself.

Yan Yuque stroked the fabric of the neon dress and feather coat on the table with his hands. In fact, this was the best result...

The highly skilled flower picker can be found again, but there is only this one piece of neon clothes and feather clothes. In this way, the Silk Brocade Court will live up to the holy will and complete the tasks assigned by the Holy Majesty as scheduled, so that Princess Liuyun can get married in a glorious manner, but...

Yan Yuque raised his hand to caress his chest, and closed his eyes in a little pain.

Why does my heart feel like being cut by a knife, the pain is unbearable.

"Master, I didn't see Mr. Liu in the whole Silk Brocade Courtyard. Someone said that there was a sedan chair parked in front of the Silk Brocade Courtyard in the middle of the night yesterday. That sedan chair looked like the one that Lord Lian Wu of Jinlin Buzhuang used to sit on. Then I saw Mr. Liu, he..." Yan An cautiously reported the news he had inquired, because he did not see it with his own eyes, and the expression on his master's face could no longer be described only by ugly looks, so he was trembling for fear that something would happen. Be careful not to say anything wrong.

But after Yan Yuque heard this, he was not as furious as usual. He slowly opened his eyes, and there was a layer of coldness in his eyes, "Prepare the sedan chair, go home..."

"Ah? Oh, okay, the villain will go now." Yan An was stunned, and ran out quickly after realizing the reaction.

On the way back, sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the sound of "creaking" and "creaking", Yan Yuque's mind came up with many pictures of being with Liu Qi, but as long as he thought that there would be no more in Lingjin Courtyard. This person, there is an unstoppable pain in the heart.

He has never paid such deliberate attention to a person who is neither relatives nor relatives. Originally, Liu Qi was at most a skilled flower picker to him, but one day he will no longer compile flower books, and he will be a useless person. people.Only now, he found that he still had too many memories about Liu Qi that had nothing to do with weaving flowers.

And it's still so clear, especially after the two of them had a bed relationship during this period of time, I also got to know him better, his temperament, his preferences, his calmness and self-control when he was serious about things, and how he behaved when he was happy. When in love, it is as charming and seductive as a different person.

Never before has an outsider been able to occupy so many places in my heart...

But now this person has disappeared from his face, and the place he occupied is still blocked by his voice, breath, and gentle and indifferent smile. One by one, the shriveled and wrinkled leaves all stretched out, tossed up and down, floated around, and settled down for the last time, but the surrounding water was already soaked in their smell, and even the rising heat was full of it. All are fragrant tea.

Liu Qi is like that tea, you have to sip carefully to taste its connotation, the mellow flavor is unforgettable...

There were hawkers shouting outside the sedan chair. Through the gap in the curtain, he saw a signboard getting closer. Just as he was about to pass by, he asked the bearer to stop the sedan chair.

"Grandfather?"

Yan An didn't understand why Yan Yuque stopped the sedan chair here. Yan Yuque came out of the sedan chair with his waist down, raised his hand to tell him not to ask more questions, and then looked up at the words "Jinlin Cloth Village" on the plaque above , watched for a long time.

For the first time, he savored the meaning behind Lian Yulou's naming of Buzhuang.

Jinlin... Jinlin...

Do you want to tell yourself that no matter whether it is status, power or industry, he has not lost to him today?

Yan Yuque looked at it for a while, picked up the hem of his clothes, walked up the steps, and walked into the shop.

As soon as he walked in, the tall and strong man Wu Jin stood in front of him. Yan Yuque raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at him. Chou, who forced his way into the cloth village, did not expect that he just pointed his hand upstairs in a rough voice, "Our master is waiting for you upstairs."

Yan Yuque couldn't help but hooked his lips into a smile, thinking, Lian Wu even guessed that he would come to him again?Really great...

As Yan Yuque walked up the stairs, he wondered why he suddenly wanted to come here?

Obviously the current result is the best. Liu Qi made this deal with Lian Wu voluntarily, so he and Lian Wu each got what they needed. The Silk Brocade Academy has a colorful dress and feather clothes, and he can keep his official career, not to mention Xu The adults are punished together for this... Isn't it good?From now on, I just need to wait for the reward from the Holy Majesty, and then marry Xu Rou, and I will be able to enter the Wensi Academy in a short time, and then replace Mr. Xu as the envoy of the Wensi Academy.

At that time, the power and position he possessed would be beyond the reach of Yulou even after ten lifetimes of hard work. He was only worthy of watching from a distance from the bottom. Unable to implement.

Thinking about all this, I feel beautiful, but it was bought with Liu Qi... Not only did I not feel happy, but I felt that something important was taken away from me.

He wants Liu Qi back.

Even if there is no neon clothes and feather clothes, as long as Liu Qi is there, there are always other alternatives.But Liu Qi is gone, but no one can replace him...

Walking up to the second floor, I saw Lian Wu in the same room as last time. Through the bead curtain, he was sitting opposite the door with a fan, smiling, as if he had been waiting for himself to show up.

Yan Yuque knew that Lian Wu had worked so hard to set up this game, burning cloth and trading, just to see how he had to bow his head to him after being cornered, but unfortunately, he would never do this, and Liu Qi It was because he knew his own temperament that he made such a decision without telling himself.

"Where is Liu Qi? I'm here to take him away." Yan Yuque had no intention of talking to the person in front of him, and got straight to the point as soon as he came up.

Lian Wu smiled slightly, closed the fan in his hand and stood up, "Liu Qi is indeed here, but he took the initiative to find me, and asked to make that deal with me...Master Yan must have seen the intact neon clothes and feather clothes , I am a trustworthy person, if Liu Qi stays, the neon clothes and feather clothes will belong to your lord, if your lord wants the flower book of the neon clothes and feather clothes, I will ask someone to send it to the silk brocade courtyard the next day to show my sincerity."

"Shut up!" The more Yan Yuque looked at the smile on his face, the more uncomfortable he felt, "I don't need that kind of thing at all, you take back the neon clothes and feather clothes, and hand over Liu Qi, if you dare to confiscate the silk brocade People in the courtyard, I will let you and your master Lian Yulou know what it means to suffer the consequences of yourself!"

Lian Wu pursed his mouth, revealing some innocent eyes, the water in his eyes was rippling, clear and clear.

I have to say that Lian Wu is indeed a beauty. With this expression, his weak and pitiful posture makes it easy to soften his heart, but it is a pity that the hideous and terrifying scar on the left side of his face looks like a huge centipede coiled on his face , Destroying the delicacy of the entire face, so that people can't bear to look at it.

Lian Wu crossed his arms with one hand and pressed the closed fan against his chin with the other, showing a somewhat troubled look, "Well, actually, I've been listening to Master Yan saying that we want Jinlin Cloth to be 'beautiful', We at Jinlin Buzhuang are 'be careful', but there has been no movement for a long time, and I am very curious, how does Master Yan plan to make us 'beautiful' and 'careful'?" After speaking, the corners of his mouth raised, and his smile was full of sarcasm. It was obviously mocking Yan Yuque who only bluffed people with words, but never made any real moves.

It was the first time in Yan Yuque's life that he was insulted like this. His hands hidden in his sleeves could not help but clenched into fists, trembling slightly, but he tried his best to restrain himself and held back, "When you see it, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it. , that’s why I kindly persuade you now, don’t be my enemy. You have to keep yourselves safe, and I can let you live in peace in the capital, but if you repeatedly step on my head, I won’t be polite.”

Lian Wu's cheeks were puffed up, and his eyes rolled. It was a very interesting expression, but in Yan Yuque's view, it was just some more extreme countermeasures in his mind.

After thinking about it for a while, Lian Wu said: "So the meaning of Master Yan's coming this time is—you want people, and you want neon clothes and feather clothes?"

"I can return the neon clothes and feather clothes to you. This deal has never happened before. You let me take Liu Qi away." Yan Yuque said.

He has never made such a concession in his life, and now this person has stepped on his head, but he has not taught him a lesson, and he backed down step by step, and even planned to return the things he had already got with both hands, just to be able to keep Liu Qi asked for it back.

Lianwu spread out the fan in his hand little by little, and after shaking it twice, he showed a somewhat troubled expression, "I see...it's obviously something unique in the world, why no one wants it? Lord Yan I insist on wanting Liu Qi, and I don’t want Liu Qi to go back, so what should I do?"

Yan Yuque couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and it was difficult to maintain a calm appearance, because Lian Wu's attitude, no matter what he said, was completely like a cat playing with a mouse in the palm of his hand. When and where have you been so humiliated? !

"Stop talking nonsense, whether you like it or not today, I'm definitely going to take Liu Qi away!" After saying that, he was going to forcefully rush in to find someone, and after walking a few steps to the beaded curtain, he was about to lift it up.

"Hey..." Lian Wu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Master Yan's intrusion like this, if word spreads, I'm afraid it will be bad for Master Yan's reputation?"

Yan Yuque frowned, "Are you threatening me?"

Lian Wu smiled again, "How dare I threaten my lord? I also worry that my lord will bring someone to tear down my shop..." He looked serious, and continued: "Since my lord insists on taking Liu Qi away, it's not impossible for me to take Liu Qi away. Let go of love, I don't want the neon clothes and feather clothes, I just want..." Lian Wu raised the beaded curtain and stretched out his face, until it was in front of Yan Yuque's.Faced with the scar on his left face at such a close distance, Yan Yuque couldn't help being startled. He frowned five times, and his smile was no longer so pure. The flower book that Liu Qi compiled was burned, so I will naturally let Liu Qi go back."

Yan Yuque was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Lian Wu would make such a request.

"Your Yan family burned two silk paintings of beautiful rivers and mountains (see "Jade House Spring" for details), and burned the fabric of my neon clothes and feather clothes, and now I will burn another neon clothes and feather clothes... It is not difficult to imagine." After finishing speaking. Putting down the bead curtain, he backed away again.

When he went upstairs, he still insisted on taking Liu Qi back, but after hearing his condition, Yan Yuque hesitated.

Originally, he was thinking of returning the neon clothes and feather clothes to Lian Wu, and after bringing Liu Qi back, he would find a way to get this neon clothes and feather clothes, but obviously his plan had been guessed by Lian Wu, so he proposed to burn it. requirements.

Even if Lian Wu had the flower book, it would be impossible to find a second one for the neon dress and feather coat that Lian Wu had burned, and everyone in the Silk Brocade Court, his career, and Master Xu would all be implicated by it.

But he didn't follow what he said, and he refused to let Liu Qi go.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Yan Yuque was indecisive, in a dilemma.

Lian Wu obviously gave such a condition to see Yan Yuque so uncertain, struggling between burning and not burning, taking and not taking, and now that the goal has been achieved, the expression on his face is very happy.

"My lord, you have to make a decision quickly~" Seeing Yan Yuque being forced to the edge of the cliff, Lian Wu, who knew how to seize the moment, took a few steps forward, "Your lord already knew that we were helping our grandfather. Those who do things come from different backgrounds, since they come from that kind of place, naturally there are many tricks in that respect, if your lord does not bring Mr. Liu back as soon as possible..." Lian Wu glanced at the carved door behind him , "Maybe the adults want to take him away, but he is not willing..."

"Uh..."

A low moan came from inside the door, mixed with a bit of pain, but more of an uncontrollable joy.

Yan Yuque's eyes widened suddenly, there was only a faint sound, but he recognized it was Liu Qi's voice at once... On the bed, he just chanted to please himself...

"What did you do to him?" Yan Yuque asked.

"Liu Qi is mine now, what am I willing to do... It seems that the adults can't control it?"

"you!?"

After annoying Yan Yuque, Lian Wuyi put on an attitude of watching a show, "Your Excellency has time to argue with you here, why not go back early and get the neon clothes and feather clothes, I will prepare a brazier and wait for you." Then he yelled out the door, "Wu Jin, see off~"

The big man Wu Jin was still downstairs before, but now he seemed to be waiting outside the door, he jumped out immediately after yelling five times, "Master Yan, please."

Yan Yuque glared at Lian Wu angrily, then looked at the carved door behind him, flicked his sleeves, turned and left unwillingly.

He couldn't hear the footsteps outside the door, he turned around to the carved door with a smile on his face and said, "I've already left, how long do you plan to hide inside?"

The carved door opened with a "creak", and Liu Qi came out from inside, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and looked towards the door.

"Don't look, once he leaves, he will definitely not come back." Lian Wu said.

A trace of depression flashed across Liu Qi's face without a trace, but he didn't want to be caught by Lian Wu, so Lian Wu knocked him on the head with the fan in his hand, "Don't be as Su Xin said, stay by his side After staying for a long time, the fake show is so real that even I can't tell it apart, and then I will sink in the whole thing, right?"

Liu Qi pushed his fan away, and replied in a low voice: "No..."

Seeing him like this, Lian Wu took a deep breath, put his hands on his shoulders, and said earnestly: "You know better than anyone else what kind of person he is, and now you can see clearly, there is nothing in his heart that is better than himself. His own interests are more important. He has nothing he can’t let go of, even if he is reluctant, but as long as he recognizes the facts, he will definitely choose a way that does not harm his own interests, this is Yan Yuque.”

Although Liu Qi replied, "I know", he was obviously not very happy. He took the cup on the table and poured water for himself, and even forgot that the water overflowed.

"Looking at you like this, I know you are still determined." Lian Wu snatched the cup from his hand, handed it to his mouth and took a sip.

Liu Qi could only take another cup, and muttered back: "It took me so long, can I just give up if I give up?"

Lian Wu smiled and stretched out his finger to poke his face twice, "Okay, okay, then why don't you go out with me tonight, and you might give up immediately if you have new fun."

Liu Qi glanced at the door and laughed jokingly, "Didn't you see the pointed ears of that big dog at the door? Go out to have fun? I'm afraid you'll be so happy that you won't be able to get out of bed the next day."

Lian Wu gave him a chestnut, "Stinky boy, dare you make fun of me?" After finishing speaking, his expression settled down, and then his tone became a little serious, "A letter came from Lin'an, Yan Yuque sent someone to inquire about your situation early in the morning. The origin, it is estimated that it will not be able to hide it in the near future, what are you going to do?"

Click!

The teacup in Liu Qi's hand fell on the table, "What can I do? There will always be a showdown, but the difference between sooner and later..."

When he said this, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were cold, which was quite different from his usual gentle and friendly appearance.When Yan Yuque returned to his mansion, he vented all his anger on the tables, chairs and vases in his room. He heard the sound of ping-pong-pong in the room, and Yan An and the other servants dared to hide Outside the door, no one dared to stroke the tiger's beard at this time.

He was annoyed that his majestic supervisor of Lingjin Academy would be humiliated so far by a shopkeeper of a cloth shop, and this person was from Lian Yulou!I don't know if Lian Yulou is in the capital at the moment, and if he was hiding in a corner secretly laughing when he was negotiating with Lian Wu.

"damn it!"

Yan Yuque was sitting at the table, and the ground around him was in a mess. As soon as he thought that he would be tricked by Lian Yulou, he wished he could immediately take someone to tear down the shop to vent his hatred.

Thinking that Lian Yulou might be in the capital, and secretly peeping at him, he was plotted by them and then lost all manners, Yan Yuque couldn't help thinking of the groan coming from the carved door behind Lian Wulian.

He was sure that the voice must belong to Liu Qi!

Thinking of some things I heard, it is said that Lian Yulou has a great reputation in Lin'an, firstly because of Jinlin Buzhuang, secondly because of his business methods, and thirdly because of his private promiscuous style. Someone told myself that even Yulou likes men, and he likes boys aged [-] or [-] the most. There is a Tianxiang Pavilion in the local area, and Lian Yulou is a frequent visitor there, but he likes to abuse. , every once in a while, he would redeem the young men from Tianxiang Pavilion, and all these young men disappeared afterwards.There are also rumors that Lian Yulou built a secret room in his own mansion, which is full of obscene tools, which are specially used to train people in that matter. Because it is not good to kill people in Tianxiang Pavilion, so they redeemed them and went home. What happened to him.

Having said that, Yan Yuque also found out that the shopkeepers around Lian Yulou who were in charge of the branch offices in various places were actually the young men he redeemed back then, so what happened to Lian Yulou, he couldn't go down until he saw it with his own eyes. The conclusion is just that Lian Wu also said that some of them have tricks...

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help secretly worrying about Liu Qi.

Although he also played tricks frequently in the matter of the bed, but it was just to increase the interest. If it really fell into their hands, would he be able to bear it?

"My lord burned the neon dress and feather coat and the flower book that Liu Qi had woven in front of me, and I let Liu Qi go back naturally."

It's just that Lian Wu's request really made him unable to do so. Not only the neon clothes and feather clothes were burned, but also the fate of the embroiderers and embroiderers in the silk and brocade courtyard, as well as his own future...

They just want to see themselves utterly defeated, and then they can laugh as much as they can.

It's too good to think that he, Yan Yuque, has been struggling in the officialdom for these years, and he doesn't pay attention to this kind of method at all. He just wants to find a way to preserve the neon clothes and feather clothes, and he wants to bring Liu Qi with him. return.

"grown ups……"

For some reason, Liu Qi's usual voice calling him came from his ears, soft as a spring breeze.

Yan Yuque looked down at his palm. The night before, he held onto his hand tightly and refused to let it go, saying that he would only fall asleep if he was with him... Unexpectedly, he was the one who let go in the end.

His fingers curled up, as if the man's callused hand was still in his own.

This is the first time in Yan Yuque's life that he felt the pain of being taken away from something important around him, and he couldn't help but lightly said: "Lian Yulou, you dare to snatch it from me...don't blame me for letting you have nothing again!"

Although Yan Yuque was eager to get Liu Qi back, the method he could think of was more difficult than reaching the sky. Lian Wugeng didn't know when he was in the capital's chamber of commerce, and everyone praised the boss. Young, but capable, and honest in doing business, it is even more difficult for Yan Yuque to secretly touch him.

In this way, after a few days, Yan Yuque's heart became more and more anxious. Usually, he always gave people a feeling of indifference and indifference. Quickly hide away.

This day, Yan Yuque was counting the dowry fabrics of the princess while being irritable. Unsurprisingly, he picked this one and picked that one and scolded several workers who were counting together. At this time, Yan An hurried in and attached himself to Yan Yu. Que whispered something in his ear, Yan Yuque's face changed, and he said to him: "Change the place and let him tell me everything."

It turned out that when Yan Yuque met Lian Wu for the first time, he told Yan Yuque that the two had a relationship, but Yan Yuque couldn't remember it, so he asked Yan An to send someone to Lin'an to find out about Lian Wu. Now this person has returned from Lin'an.

"Returning to the Lord, I found out that this Lian Wu was originally a young lady from Tianxiang Pavilion, but was later redeemed by Lian Yulou..."

"I know this, let's talk about something else."

"I also found out that the master and this young man do have a relationship."

"Oh?"

"Grandpa, you probably don't remember. When you went to Lin'an five years ago, in order to get the silk painting of Jinxiu Heshan from Lianyulou, you kidnapped two young men who were related to Lianyulou, and one of them ran away. He even stole your Peiyu and jumped into the river to commit suicide, which almost caused you to be sued for life, and the other... is Lian Wu."

Having said that, Yan Yuque had a bit of an impression. At that time, in order to get the thing from Lian Yulou, he tied up two young men in private, trying to dig something out of their mouths. In the end, one stubbornly refused to say anything, and the other One really didn't seem to know, and then one died, and the other did exchange him for the painting, but Lian Yulou fiddled with the painting, but he didn't get it in the end.While Yan Yuque was thinking, Yan An interjected, "Since he is a young lady from Tianxiang Pavilion, he should be pretty, but what happened to the scar on his face, it's frightening to death."

Speaking of this, the servant at the bottom stuttered a bit, "This..."

"You just say it's okay."

"Return to Master, the scar on Lian Wu's face was caused by Master when he was kidnapped..."

"Bold!" Yan An said, "Why would our master do such a thing?!" But after being glared at by Yan Yuque, he retreated obediently.

Yan Yuque recalled that at that time, he wanted to find out where the painting was hidden, and in his eagerness for quick success, he did torture him. By the time the people in Lian Yulou replaced him with the painting, he had already vented his anger. Lack of breath, I'm afraid it won't work...

Thinking of this, and thinking of Lian Wu's attitude towards him, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

I ruined his appearance and half killed him. When he came back from the gate of hell, he must have been full of hatred when he saw him, but he could bear it and not say anything, and he always maintained a calm and leisurely attitude.

...How deep must this person's heart be?

At this time, the servant said again: "By the way, Lord, the people around Lian Yulou don't use their real names now, they all call them Lian Er and Lian San, and Lian Wu's original name was Liu Qi."

Yan Yuque couldn't help being surprised, "What did you say?"

The man was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Well, that man's name is Liu Qi, but it's just a nickname, and it's not the same name as the surname of Mr. Liu Qi of our Silk Brocade Academy. Even Wu's is 'Bi Liu' Ruiyan's 'Liu'..."

"Liuqi..." Yan Yuque read the name lightly, thinking that although the words were true, there are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, and "Qi" is not a rare word...but he also felt that the coincidence in it made people It's hard not to care.
