A Piece of Li Song Changting Twilight

That was when Zhao Pingzhen and Qin Xiaolou were in Pingcheng.

One day in the summer of that year, Zhao Pingzhen ran to Qin Xiaolou's room with two newly picked lotus seeds, and asked Qin Xiaolou to peel the lotus seeds for him to eat.

He was lying on the mat with his head resting on Qin Xiaolou's leg, fanning his young master with one hand, his mouth was wide open, Qin Xiaolou stuffed one into his mouth after peeling one off.He finished chewing, opened his mouth again, and waited for the next one.

After feeding a few, Zhao Pingzhen suddenly said: "It's boring." Rolling his eyes, he said: "You feed me with your mouth."

So after Qin Xiaolou peeled the lotus seeds, he put them in his mouth first, and then lowered his head to feed them to Zhao Pingzhen.

The spoiled Zhao Pingzhen ate a dozen or so and felt bored again.

In this scorching summer, even Jin Bing lost his temper after being exposed to the sun, hiding in his nest and unable to come out.Wu Yi said that during the hot summer season, the soldiers should be allowed to rest for a few days, otherwise they are afraid that large-scale heatstroke will hurt the soldiers.There are no new tricks to deal with the routine business affairs every day, and the things to be done for the day can be done in half an hour.He wants to torment people, and he can't even find a person who can torment under the sun.This day is really boring!

Zhao Pingzhen pressed Qin Xiaolou's hand peeling lotus seeds wearily: "I won't eat it. Go and bring me a bowl of mung bean soup."

So Qin Xiaolou put down the lotus seeds and went out.

Zhao Pingzhen was lying on Qin Xiaolou's bed alone, thinking about finding something to do, when he suddenly heard the conversation between two people from far to near outside the house.

"Master Nameng from Pinghe County came to work in the city yesterday, and it was time to apply after finishing the work. Master Li asked him to stay for one night before going back, but he refused to say anything, saying that his wife was in a hurry, so he rushed back that night wearing stars and wearing moonlight. Yes. I heard that Master Meng’s beloved wife is well-known in the city. He has been married for more than three years, and the couple actually repaid the honey. It is said that he never goes to Huajie and Liuxiang. He rushed home like his butt was on fire, for fear of losing a moment of time with his wife."

"Hey, tell me, why don't you get tired of watching it? My mother-in-law has been in the house for a year, and I'm a little tired of watching it. But let alone, I really miss her when I really came out with the army and separated for two years."

"Hehe, I originally thought that Mrs. Meng should be the beauty of the country and the city, but I heard people say it, so I just let it go. I don't know what's going on, maybe everyone is different."

The two gradually walked away.

Zhao Pingzhen turned over and lay on the bed, put the young master's fan away, tapped twice on the palm of his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Master Meng... Mrs. Meng..."

Early the next morning, Zhao Pingzhen took Qin Xiaolou down to Pinghe County.All the way, Zhao Pingzhen was thinking, the honey blended with oil after three years...isn't it greasy?How could it be, although I have been with Qin Xiaolou for more than three years, but I am also good at the sloppy vibes every now and then, I wish I could kick Qin Xiaolou out and exile for two months before bringing him back.But if Qin Xiaolou really stopped sleeping next to him one night, he would have trouble falling asleep all night because he was not used to it.I have to go and see that couple, how beautiful is that woman, and it is not enough for her husband to watch her day and night for three years.

When Zhao Pingzhen arrived at the door of Meng's house, he suddenly refused to go in again, saying that he was afraid that going in as King Rui would make them too restrained, and asked several guards to try to give him an identity.Just when everyone was having a headache, a pair of Taoist priests and apprentices who came from afar came to the door—it turned out that the nanny who nursed the young master in Meng's mansion claimed that she suspected that she saw something unclean in the mansion one day, so Master Meng asked Two Taoist priests were sent to "clean up" the mansion.

Zhao Pingzhen immediately ordered people to strip off the clothes of the two Taoist priests, snatched the Qiankun bag, and threw ten taels of silver to each of them, ordering them to pat their butts and leave.The two Taoist priests failed to drive away, but were driven away by the wicked, and ran away crying with money in their hands covering their bare buttocks.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Pingzhen and Qin Xiaolou entered the Meng family compound holding flags swaggeringly.

The nanny led the two of them to the mourning hall of Meng's family in the backyard, and said that she slept late that day when the incident happened, and when she passed the backyard at night, she saw that the gate of the mourning hall was open. Find out.Then I saw the eyes of the evil spirit—green, those are the eyes of the ogre!She will never forget it for the rest of her life!I was stunned on the spot!

Zhao Pingzhen asked some more details about the situation, and the servants said that it was not the first time that this mourning hall was haunted.On the day of Qingming, they put food for sacrifice in front of the memorial tablet, and locked the door at night, but the food in the mourning hall disappeared the next day!And the door is still closed!Isn't this haunted!

After hearing this, Zhao Pingzhen hummed: "What are you doing with the food in the mourning hall?"

The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, and replied: "For the ancestors of the master's family to enjoy."

Zhao Pingzhen sneered, and casually tugged at the corner of the soul-calling flag: "Isn't that just eaten by the ancestors, what's so surprising."

"Heh." Qin Xiaolou chuckled, and covered his mouth with his sleeve.

Everyone stared at the two inexplicable Taoist priests with dumbfounded expressions.

Zhao Pingzhen casually made up a day, saying that it would be the most suitable time to do it seven days later, so Master Meng arranged for them a wing room for them to live in temporarily - originally there were two rooms, but Zhao Pingzhen said that at night, their master and apprentice would discuss Taoism , so it was changed to one room.

After entering the guest room, Zhao Pingzhen immediately took off his Taoist robe, and lay on the bed moaning: "Those two stinky Taoist priests haven't showered for a few days? If I had known earlier, I might as well have asked someone to go back to the city and sell two sets of clothes now."

Qin Xiaolou walked over with a smile, pulled out the fan from his waist, and began to fan him.

Zhao Pingzhen squinted his eyes to enjoy the cool breeze, and said lazily: "I really don't understand these people. Since the ancestors don't eat their offerings, they insist on offering them. The offerings are gone, and I suspect that a thief stole them. Why don't you want to eat them?" Is it because the ancestors accepted their wishes? Since ghosts don’t eat food in the yang world, they shouldn’t be dealing with these gods and ghosts in the first place. It is because of these people that those swindling Taoist priests can gain a foothold in the world.”

Qin Xiaolou just laughed.

Zhao Pingzhen lay on the bamboo mat, and soon felt sleepy comfortably. He grabbed Qin Xiaolou by the waist and brought him to the bed, buried his head in his arms and fell asleep.

Qin Xiaolou gently pushed him: "It's hot, don't get tired of me, I'll be sweating all over in a while."

Zhao Pingzhen lazily clapped his hands away: "This bamboo mat is too hard, it's comfortable to hold you. After sweating, just wash it. Don't make trouble, let me sleep."

Qin Xiaolou had no choice but to hold his head in one hand and fan him to repel mosquitoes with the other.After a while, the two embraced each other and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, servants of the Meng Mansion invited Zhao Pingzhen and Qin Xiaolou to have breakfast with the masters, and Zhao Pingzhen readily agreed.

When Qin and Zhao rushed to the hall, Meng Kai and his wife were already sitting there waiting.Zhao Pingzhen's eyes were always glued to Mrs. Meng, looking at her from head to toe and back and forth, and he couldn't see anything strange about this woman.Speaking of beautiful, it can barely be considered beautiful, but it is only available in such a small place as Pinghe County.The figure is also barely strong, because not long after giving birth, the person is still a little swollen.

Zhao Pingzhen was very displeased with the Mengshi couple, Qin Xiaolou pulled his sleeve secretly, he suddenly cried out in surprise, pointed at Mrs. Meng and said: "Madam may have evil obstacles."

Meng Kai panicked and asked: "Then, what should we do? Daoist, Daoist, you must..."

Zhao Pingzhen said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter. This evil obstacle is most afraid of me and other cultivators. I will send my wife a talisman later, and it will naturally be broken." He said: "I have to take a good look at it in the next few days. This place of yours seems to be full of dangers. I have to search hard in the past seven days, except for that green-eyed evil spirit, to drive out all the unclean things in your corners, so that you can live in peace of mind. "

Mrs. Meng looked at him gratefully: "This morning the county magistrate sent someone to say that the two priests have profound virtues, so please treat them well. If the priests help you, my husband and I will be very grateful."

Zhao Pingzhen said in a rather pompous manner: "This... I will definitely do my best in the poor way."

Qin Xiaolou just smiled all the time, and sometimes the corners of his mouth curled up too much, so he picked up his teacup and sipped tea to cover it up.

After returning to the room after breakfast, Zhao Pingzhen sat on the bamboo chair, Qin Xiaolou sat on his lap, held a lotus seed in his hand, and peeled them for him to eat one by one.Zhao Pingzhen chewed the lotus seeds, wrinkled his nose and sniffed Qin Xiaolou's body from time to time, only felt that the fragrance of the lotus seeds and lotus flowers were all dyed on Qin Xiaolou's body, and the smell was refreshing.

He said: "You sent someone to ask the county magistrate to say that?"

Qin Xiaolou said: "Yes. I saw that they were a little suspicious yesterday, so they sent people to the county."

Zhao Pingzhen took a bite of a freshly peeled lotus seed on his fingertip, and swept his fingertips with the tip of his tongue: "Good job."

Qin Xiaolou licked the fingers licked by Zhao Pingzhen, his watery eyes tilted towards him with indescribable ambiguity, then lowered his head and continued to peel the lotus seeds: "Zhenqing's acting is also good."

Zhao Pingzhen said: "It's just that they are too easy to coax. You can rest after peeling this lotus seed. I will peel it for you to eat later."

After a while, Qin Xiaolou went out to fetch water and wash his hands. Zhao Pingzhen was swinging on the bamboo chair with his legs crossed, and tapped his palm bit by bit with the fan in his hand: "Interesting, interesting, what do I want to see?" It's called affection."
