Nanzhu

The veil lifted by Nanzhu was slightly startled at first, and immediately pulled the two of them into the door the next moment.

"Nanzhu! You're back! You're not here for a few days, and Miss Yanhe and the nanny will toss us to death." The third son's words are absolutely true, and now everyone in Drunken Dreamland knows that Nanzhu He was sold to a noble guest in the capital who could not be offended.If you lose the person, then the next time a distinguished guest comes to ask for someone, the dreamland will be over.

Nan Zhu took off his bamboo hat, and nodded apologetically to his third son.

"Brother, please take us to see Miss Yanhe." The man in black said lightly, and without waiting for the other party to ask, he explained the origin. "Nanzhu has been staying in the house for a while to recover from his illness these few days. Nanzhu's body has not recovered yet, and I want to explain something to Miss Yanhe. Brother Lao, please don't blame me."

The third son is a rough man and a servant.Although I see those literati and distinguished guests on weekdays, no one is so reasonable to me, and it is not easy to refuse now.Furthermore, Nan Zhu is no different today than in the past, since he has something to do with it, then it's time to meet Miss Yan He.So he responded and brought the man in.

When someone brought it, the third son withdrew.Before Yanhe arrived, the voice of ushering in first was no stranger.

"Nan Zhu, are you okay?"

Seeing Wan Cui jogging all the way into the front hall, Nan Zhu got up to greet her, shaking his head again and again, expressing that he was fine.

Wan Cui walked up to Nan Zhu, put her hand on his shoulders and looked up and down a few times, and then said in peace: "It's fine, it's fine." After sighing, she found that there was another person sitting in the hall One person was quietly watching the scene just now.Slightly stunned, then blushed and said:

"My lord, thank you for sending Nanzhu back. I heard from my third son that Miss Yanhe will be here soon."

The man in black nodded, still sitting quietly on one side.The atmosphere was a bit dull, Nan Zhu couldn't speak at all, and the Moyi man obviously didn't like to talk too much, Wan Cui couldn't do anything about it, he could only simply ask about Nan Zhu's body condition, while glancing at the outer corridor from the corner of his eye from time to time.

When Pingting's figure appeared outside the hall, Wan Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The girl is here." Wan Cui bowed her lower body and gave up the main seat to Yan He, while she stood behind her on the left side.At this moment, the man in ink also got up and gave Yan He a slight nod.

"Nanzhu's body still needs to be recuperated, this is the prescription." The man in black was not wordy, but concise and to the point, handed the prescription in his arms to Yanhe.

Yan He took it, smiled again, and asked casually: "May I ask how this master met Nan Zhu that day?"

The man in ink only said one name: "Xu Congwen."

Yan He's expression was obviously stunned, and then he lowered his face as if he suddenly realized.It turned out that it was the bully who caused the incident.

"Farewell." Seeing the expression of Yan He, the man in ink must have understood Xu Congwen's notoriety, so he didn't need to explain further.He walked past Nan Zhu, took a careful look at Nan Zhu, and didn't stop any longer.

Nan Zhumoto had been standing aside with his head bowed, and now he heard that his husband was leaving.With a heartbeat, he suddenly caught up with him a few steps and grabbed him.

"Why?" The address of Zhu'er has been omitted, and the man in black seems to not want too many people to know his friendship with Nan Zhu.

Nan Zhu spread out the opponent's hand and wrote down in a hurry: Mr. and Lu Yun, take care.

The eyes of the man in black were shining, but they couldn't be seen through.He raised his hand and gently touched Nan Zhu's head, without saying anything, he turned and left.

Nanzhu understands, Moyiren understands, even Lu Yun will gradually understand.

The so-called waiting is far away.The so-called love is youthful and frivolous.

When the parting is a foregone conclusion, the only thing that can express your worries and sorrows is the words in your mouth.However, those words and that oath could not withstand the erosion of time after all.When the memories in the memory gradually fade away, and when the figures in the memory gradually forget, what remains is just empty talk.

So let them cherish it, because Nanzhu understands.Perhaps from then on, he and them——would never see each other again.

"Your face is not old, but your hair is already white..."

Wan Cui's soft words caused different waves in the hearts of the other two.

Nan Zhu looked at the back of the departing person for a long, long time.And Yanhe's eyes seemed to be more thoughtful.

Because of Qi Lan's relationship, Yanhe didn't divide into Nanzhu.After ordering Wancui to take Nanzhu to rest, she took the prescription and left.

Wan Cui tells Nanzhu that the wooden house where she used to live will be vacated in the near future, and Nanzhu's residence has been decided to move out.Wan Cui also told Nan Zhu that it is said that Guan Yu Lou in the capital invites famous prostitutes from all over the country to participate in the oiran contest, which is the first case since the founding of Dong Lin.Miss Yanhe was also included in the list, and she will go to the capital on behalf of Drunken Dreamland in a few days.

Beijing?It's far away from Qingquan Town...

Nan Zhu sighed, seeing the wooden house he was familiar with, his heart tightened for no reason.He almost forgot something, something he shouldn't have forgotten!

She stopped, and Wan Cui who was beside her also stopped.

"Nan Zhu, what's wrong?"

Nan Zhu didn't know how to speak, and froze in place for a moment without any response.

"Ah, I see. Don't worry, I have had people clean the house for the past few days, and I even changed you a new quilt. That's fine, I'll send you here, and you can take a good rest today. If something happens , I will come to inform you." Wan Cui explained with a kind smile, and patted Nanzhu's shoulder comfortingly.

Nanzhu is in distress, so send someone to clean it?Changed the quilt?Forget it, if that person is discovered, it will not be as easy as Wan Cui said now.Obviously, that person should have his own way to protect himself.

After seeing off Wan Cui, Nan Zhu pushed the door open and entered the house.The house was indeed much cleaner than before leaving.Putting the burden on the bed, Nanzhu kicked his feet and sat up on the bed.He pushed his hands back casually, but suddenly felt a bumpy foreign object under the mattress.

What is being put under the mattress?

He lifted the mattress curiously, and a round bronze medal the size of a jade pendant appeared in front of his eyes.Nan Zhu picked it up and took a closer look, only to see that the front of the bronze plaque was engraved with the four characters "魑鬼鬼鬼", and the four characters occupy the upper, lower, left, and right sides respectively, with a picture of an ancient building in the middle.Nan Zhu was surprised, turned the bronze medal over, but suddenly showed surprise.

It turns out that the back of the bronze medal is also engraved with a picture, a legendary ancient beast - Qiongqi.

Where would ordinary people wear such accessories on their bodies?Nan Zhu couldn't help thinking about the origin of this ornament.Thinking of those people I have come into contact with, if I really want to say the owner of this thing, there is only one person.

Yan lore.

Nan Zhu carefully put away the bronze medal, the man left it in such a closed corner under the bed, it must not be lost.He wants to keep this thing for himself?What is that intention?But no matter what, Nan Zhu can judge one thing from this, that is, Yan Jueshou has left here.

Turning over and crawling on the bed, Nan Zhu turned up all the mattresses on the bed one by one, and then rummaged in the corners.Finally found a note in an inconspicuous gap.

Open the note, just like the note in that person's style: Li.

However, Nan Zhu didn't miss it, but the word "Li" on the note was missing a bit.What does the incomplete character Li mean?

Nan Zhu didn't want to know, but couldn't stop thinking about it.He smiled helplessly, only hoping that this speculation about leaving and returning was just his own overthinking.

But this time, Nan Zhu really worried too much.Because the next day, under the instruction of the nanny, he and Wan Cui accompanied Yanhe on the road to the capital to run for the oiran.

Birds chirped constantly outside the window, and there was a light knocking sound outside the closed wooden door, followed by a respectful voice: "My lord, it's time to get up. Today is the day when the emperor ascends the altar to pray for the early summer solstice, and three days ago we will attend The adults have already issued the paperwork."

There was a sound of harmony from inside the house, and the people outside immediately turned around and ordered the servants to get ready to wash up as soon as possible.

Today is the day for the emperor to offer sacrifices to God in the name of praying for blessings, and it will be held as scheduled every year on the first day of the next week at the beginning of the summer solstice.This is also one of the national memorial days of Donglin. Every year on this day, Emperor Donglin will open a warehouse to help the people, and the folks also have many traditional charity.There are also many celebration activities. In the palace, the emperor entertains all officials to have fun;

As a general of Donglin, Qi Lan is different from a civil servant.When the emperor went out on this day, he was naturally responsible for the safety of the emperor.Therefore, the clothes are not as elegant as civil officials, but the military uniforms and official robes of the past are enough.

When Qi Lan was properly dressed in official robes, the head of the Qi Mansion had already prepared everything.Just wait for his master to give an order, and he will be able to respond in time.

"Qi Xiao, take a trip to Guanyu Tower for me today." Qi Lan took out the letterhead that he had prepared earlier and handed it to the chief executive of the Qi family beside him.

Reaching out to take the letter was a young man with a jade-like face and a gentle manner. "Don't worry, my lord."

Qi Lan nodded, stepped out of the mansion and stepped on her beloved horse.Shu Er looked sideways and raised his hand, a white bird circled down and landed on his arm.

Take off the paper rolls attached to the bird's legs, raise your arms slightly, and the bird flutters its wings and flies high.

Qi Lan's calm face changed slightly after he opened the scroll, revealing a smile: It seems that the capital city will become more and more lively.Nanzhu, you are coming here after all.

"Qi Feng, let's go."

The scroll turned into powder in his clenched fists, Qi Lan pulled the reins, and the black horse under his crotch neighed and sped out.

Royal ostentation is always particularly grand.Qi Lan didn't like the officialdom. He watched the ceremony official read the prayers sternly. The emperor and a group of princes and princesses, high officials and small officials should offer incense to those who should worship, and those who should kneel down to worship.But he rested alone on the outskirts, thinking about where to go at night.

"grown ups."

"Qi Feng, speak up if you have something to say." Qi Feng is not only his confidant, but also a fierce general under his command.Since Bianguan returned to Beijing, he has been living with him in the General's Mansion.

"The subordinates think that if they evade again tonight, something is wrong."

Qi Lan knew what he said.The banquet after the sacrifice, the place of the emperor
