Legend of the Orchid

The person who came was Zhao Guangmei, the king of Qin with a baby face. She should be called Zhao Tingmei now. Sometimes Li Zhonglan would find it funny. The two uncles and nephews had the same name, the same age, and a good relationship. They were more like brothers.

Zhao Tingmei teased: "Recently, there has been a sudden rise of masculinity in the capital. It is said that they have imitated the preferences of a certain prince and noble."

Li Zhonglan's face was so hot that he could fry an egg, but Zhao Tingjie smiled frankly: "Male sex and female sex are just human, what's the difference?"

Zhao Tingmei laughed loudly: "What Zhaoer said is that we should be the leader, how can we be influenced by the world."

As the uncle and nephew sang together, it seemed that Li Zhonglan was an ordinary person, but Li Zhonglan put her face on Zhao Tingjie's back, and still didn't have the courage to stand up and say hello to Zhao Tingmei.

Zhao Tingjie asked: "Fourth Uncle didn't come here today to tease my nephew, did he?"

Zhao Tingmei picked up a cattail mat and sat down, and said, "Of course not, I recently got a copy of "Lanting Preface", which is said to be the authentic work of Wang Xizhi, and I want to taste it with you, Zhaoer."

Sure enough, he was holding a rotating shaft in his hand, and the court steps became interested, he stood up and let out the rattan mat, and signaled Zhao Tingmei to spread the copybook.

Zhao Tingmei opened the rotating shaft, knelt on the side of the courtyard and looked at it carefully for a long time, then sighed: "It's not an authentic work, it's an imitation."

Zhao Tingmei was surprised: "It took me a year to buy this with a lot of money, and it's actually fake?"

Zhao Tingjie said, "If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you." After that, he called Jinyan again and again.

Jin Yan rushed over quickly, and Ting Jie ordered: "Give me a dagger."

Jin Yan offered the dagger, and Zhong Lan's face, which had finally subsided from the fever, became hot again. He secretly wondered if Jin Yan's hearing is so good, did he also listen to the conversation he had with Ting Jie just now?

Ting Jie carefully separated a corner of the copybook from the mounting frame with a knife, and gradually revealed a faint red seal on the back of the copybook, which said "Bai Chuan Jie Thatched Cottage".

Zhao Tingmei was discouraged and said: "If you repay your kindness with thatched cottage, what are you doing to rob me of my money? Make me happy for nothing!"

Zhao Tingjie said: "Now there are many versions of "Lanting Preface" circulating on the market, but my nephew has never found the authentic one. Fourth uncle will pay more attention to it in the future."

Zhao Tingmei glanced at Li Zhonglan with a smile, and asked, "I see that Li Changshi's complexion is not good. How effective is the ginseng bestowed by the emperor?"

Knowing that the other party was teasing him, Zhong Lan blushed, looked at Mei Xing and said, "Ginseng is a nourishing yin. I have enough yin energy, so I don't need nourishment."

"It's true, the harmony of yin and yang is the right way." Zhao Tingmei laughed, her mouth was full of jokes, and Zhong Lan was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in.

After Zhao Tingmei left, Ting Jie picked up Zhong Lan, who was shocked and struggled softly, "What are you doing?"

Ting Jie smirked and said, "Don't you want to reconcile Yin and Yang? My husband will reconcile it for you now!"

Zhong Lan smiled and patted the other person's chest, coyly said: "I don't want it! Let me down!"

Naturally, Zhao Tingjie couldn't hear it, so he hurried back to his room and went to nourish Zhong Lan energetically.

The Mid-Autumn Festival will be three months later, and Zhong Lan suddenly becomes worried, fearing that Ting Jie will hold an unpleasant family dinner like last year. The two of them have been lingering for three months, and now it is the time of sweetness. Enough to spoil the scenery.

But he was embarrassed to ask Ting Jie how to arrange it, and he only thought angrily in his heart that if Ting Jie dared to call his wife and children over again, he would dare to make all the women and children go crazy.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tingjie was more upset than him, because Zhao Guangyi sent someone over to say that His Royal Highness Zhao and Li Changshi were going to the palace for a banquet on Mid-Autumn Eve.

Seeing Ting Jie's sword-like eyebrows, Zhong Lan smiled and said, "Will you go?"

Zhao Tingjie sneered, "Why do you want to go?" He suddenly raised an eyebrow at Zhong Lan, and said, "Don't you want to see lanterns? I'll take you to the city to see them at night."

Li Zhonglan was overjoyed, and her pink lips formed a crooked moon: "In addition to watching the lanterns, we can also taste the mooncakes from Longyutang. It is said that there are new fish and shark fin mooncakes, which will definitely suit your appetite."

Zhao Tingjie thought, it must be Zhao Tingmei who told Lan'er about these new things, but Lan'er didn't know the value of flatfish and sand shark's fin, this little fox still wanted to run away, with his amazing ability to spend money, what would happen without Zhao Tingjie live?

Zhong Lan saw the court steps standing with a smile on her face, her jade face was as handsome as a knife carved, and her brows had a stern but haunting demeanor, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing pretendingly: "There are too many people who know you, you can't just go out like this, I have to make it up for you."

He laughed wickedly, and Zhao Tingjie let him play tricks on him. About [-] minutes later, Li Zhonglan was done, but she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Zhao Tingjie grabbed the bronze mirror and looked at himself. He suddenly turned into a wild man with fierce eyebrows and beard and a face full of flesh. It turned into a brownish color, and what's more, Li Zhonglan didn't know what kind of black thing was pasted on her front teeth. It seemed that one of her front teeth was missing, and she looked vicious and ugly.

"Is this what I look like in your heart?" Zhao Tingjie put down the mirror and looked at Li Zhonglan helplessly.

Li Zhonglan was still laughing wildly. He really felt that Tingjie looked like a vicious and rough man. If he hadn't been born in the emperor's family, Zhao Tingjie might have been a bandit in the forest.

"Have you laughed enough?" Zhao Tingjie frowned displeasedly, and demanded, "You also have to dress up, how can there be no beauty around a man, just pretend to be a little lady!"

"I don't." Li Zhonglan rolled into Zhao Tingjie's arms with a smile, and teased, "I'll just go out like this and be your son!"

Zhao Tingjie pinched Li Zhonglan's chin thoughtfully, and said with a slight smile, "I already have three sons, so I don't need a son anymore."

Li Zhonglan broke free from Zhao Tingjie's fingers and said proudly: "Anyway, I don't pretend to be a woman, so I don't want to pretend to be a woman!"

"Okay!" Zhao Tingjie suddenly grabbed Li Zhonglan's waist, put him on the ground, and got up to close the door and window.

Li Zhonglan knew something was wrong, so she forced a smile and said, "It's not dark yet, what are you doing closing the door?"

After Zhao Tingjie closed the door and window, he turned to Li Zhonglan and said, "From now on, I will keep dressing up until you are willing."

Because of the lack of light, the room was suddenly gloomy, the courtyard stood in the shadows, his face was darkened, and his teeth and claws became more and more barren. Jiangyang Bandit.

Li Zhonglan hadn't experienced this kind of oppressive feeling for a long time. Today, he suddenly realized that the other party hadn't changed, it was Zhao Tingjie who wanted him to be obedient.

Right now, Li Zhonglan was shrinking shyly towards the corner of the wall, and finally there was no way to retreat in the corner. He said angrily, "If the emperor comes later, you won't be afraid that he will punish you!"

Zhao Tingjie sneered and said, "Just let him see how I punish you!"

After all, he rushed forward like a hungry tiger, and Li Zhonglan only had time to utter an exclamation before being crushed under him.

After the initial joy, Li Zhonglan gradually felt the pain. His knees were pressed against the cold and hard bluestone bricks, and a large area of ​​bruises appeared, and the skin was also worn out. The slight pain caused him to take a deep breath.

"Ting Jie, I don't want it anymore!" Finally, he begged for mercy.

A cold voice came from behind: "Then dress up for me!"

Zhong Lan gritted her teeth and said nothing, in exchange for more severe torture, his small face was wrinkled into a ball, and his heart was extremely wronged. After suffering for a long time, he finally begged crying: "No, it hurts so much!"

"Then dress up for me!" There is still no reason to say.

Zhong Lan's tears wet his front, and after another fierce sprint on the court steps, he shrugged his shoulder blades and screamed to admit defeat: "I'm pretending! I'm going to pretend!"

Only then did Zhao Tingjie let him go.Zhong Lan struggled to prop up her numb legs, just got up, but immediately collapsed to the ground again, Ting Jie hugged him, but he pushed away the tyrannical arm and moved to the back room step by step.

The inner room and the outer room are separated by a screen, and there is a large dressing table. On the table are bottles and cans of rouge, gouache, etc. Zhong Lan grabbed a delicate small porcelain box with red eyes, and just wanted to put some powder on it. I painted my face, but my throat tightened, and tears fell down.

After an incense stick of time, Li Zhonglan came out. He had already changed into a white skirt, and put on a sky blue beanie. His hair was simply combed up. There was not much makeup on his face, but it was bright enough and attractive enough. up.

Zhao Tingjie stretched out his hand to caress Li Zhonglan's face, and praised: "My Lan'er is really beautiful!"

Li Zhonglan avoided the opponent's hand with a cold face, frowned and said, "Let's go!"

After all, regardless of the court steps, he walked out on his own.

In the night sky, a full moon hangs brightly over the capital city, but Li Zhonglan turns a blind eye to the beautiful scenery of the good time. He just wants to lie on the bed and cry.
