Nagato Fu
Chapter 2 is over.
Believe in your sincerity. "
He is trying to vent his anger.Zhang Qishan laughed.It would take at least half an hour to buy this trip.
"Okay, I'll go buy it. Where are you going then?"
"I'll go back to the inn, don't worry." Er Yuehong couldn't help laughing. "Go, don't go, it will be dark when you buy it back!"
Zhang Qishan smiled helplessly or indulgently, and made a gesture in a place where he could not see, ordering the guards who were protecting in the dark to send one person to follow Er Yuehong.Then he turned and walked towards the busy streets.
Er Yuehong watched him walk away with squinted eyes, feeling indescribably happy in her heart.He also turned around and walked briskly towards the inn.
At the entrance of a small restaurant, an old beggar in ragged clothes was sitting on the threshold of the restaurant, holding a gourd in his hand, drinking wine recklessly.
The wine flowed down his neck, and he didn't care, until he drank all the wine in the gourd, and smacked his lips as if he still had something to say.
It just so happened that Er Yuehong walked past this restaurant alone, and was stopped by the old beggar.
"Hey, girl, girl!"
Er Yuehong didn't react at first, until the old beggar got up and grabbed his wide sleeves.
"Uh, old man, are you calling me?"
The old beggar seemed very dissatisfied, and muttered: "Who else can I call you, the girl now, really, you don't respect me, an old man."
Er Yuehong froze for a moment, raised a smile and looked at the old man.
"Hey, old man, what's the matter?"
"Girl, do you have any money? My old man is addicted to alcohol, hehe, but it's a pity that he has no money."
Er Yuehong laughed.
He thought that people who ask for help would feel humble, but he didn't expect this old man to be very interesting.
"Old man, what do you mean, let me give you some money to buy wine?"
"Hey, it's not giving, it's borrowing!"
Er Yuehong couldn't help laughing now.
"Yes." He took out the money bag on his waist and walked into the restaurant.
Walking to the cabinet, he whispered something to the shopkeeper and pointed to the old beggar.When he came back, the waiter in the restaurant followed him, holding a jar of wine.
"Old man, take this altar of wine as a gift from me, isn't that enough?"
The old beggar happily took the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine wafted out immediately after unsealing it.He leaned up to smell it, and exclaimed, "Good wine!"
Seeing that the waiter in the restaurant had returned to the restaurant, the old beggar said with a smile, "My lord, you are a good man."
Er Yuehong was taken aback.
"You, what did you say?"
"I said you are a good person. There are not many such good young people nowadays, alas, the world is so cold."
Er Yuehong stared blankly at the old man.
"How do you..."
"How do I know you are a man?" the old beggar said with a smile. "Although my family is old, I understand it very well here." He pointed to his head. "With your face, if you were born as a woman, you must be a confidante. You should have died a year ago, and you can't live now. As a man, as long as you can survive the calamity, you can do something. If you can't ... is also the master of fate."
"Jie? What robbery?" Er Yuehong asked in surprise.
"Hey, look!" the old beggar suddenly shouted.
Er Yuehong looked in the direction he pointed, but there was nothing.He suddenly realized that he had been cheated, and when he turned his head again, the old beggar had disappeared.
He looked around a little disappointed, where was the figure of the old beggar!
If it weren't for the puddle of wine still left on the ground, he might have thought it was just an illusion.

☆, Fake romance mistakenly picks up hydrangea, true temperament meets Huo Wumei
No.13 Back to the fake romantic mistakenly pick up the hydrangea, the real love meets Huo Wumei
It was nearly dusk when Zhang Qishan brought the things back.
Seeing that Er Yuehong looked a little weird, he just pretended that he was still sulking, so he didn't ask further.
This night, he rested early.
Early the next morning, when Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong woke up, they were surprised to find that Xie Jiu and Qi Yun had disappeared.
After questioning several guards, I learned that the two had left the inn early.
After all, Xie Jiu was young and couldn't bear his temper. The guards didn't dare to let him go out alone, so Qi Yun brought two people to follow him.
Just after breakfast at the inn, a guard hurried back.
"What's the matter, so anxious?" Er Yuehong joked with a smile.
"Go back to Seventh Young Master and Seventh Young Madam, it's not good, Ninth Young Master..."
"What happened to the ninth brother?" Not only was Er Yuehong surprised, but Zhang Qishan's brows were unconsciously frowned. "Meet an assassin?"
Xie Jiu and Qi Yun both have martial arts, so self-defense is no problem.Afraid of being besieged by many people and outnumbered...
"No, it's not." The guard looked up at him, as if sweat was dripping from his forehead. "Master Ninth mistakenly picked up a lady's hydrangea, and was stopped by that family."
Zhang Qishan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, Er Yuehong beside him had already burst out laughing.
The two arrived in a hurry.
Jianjiu's face was blushing, and she was being pulled by the sleeves of the surrounding maidservants.The maids surrounded him and walked up to the attic. He couldn't do anything hard to women, so he could only struggle with a bitter face.
"Girl, hey, girl, please let go of me first! Can a man and a woman kiss each other!"
"Uncle, master and miss are waiting for you upstairs!"
"What, what uncle! I didn't plan to marry her! I've said it hundreds of times. I walked through the crowd. Who knew that your lady's hydrangea just flew over..."
"Uncle, what you said is wrong! You caught our young lady's hydrangea, and so many people saw it. If you don't marry, where will you put the face of our young lady?"
"You, why are you unreasonable girl!"
"Ninth Young Master, that's wrong. Don't you call yourself a romantic talent? It's your blessing to receive the hydrangea ball. Why are you pushing back and forth." Qi Yun added fuel to the scene with a smile on his side. "Didn't I say a few days ago that you were lucky? Look, that's right."
"What kind of peach blossom luck, it's obviously a rotten peach blossom!" Xie Jiu blushed with anger. "If you are capable, you will marry..."
"Cough, Ninth Brother!" Zhang Qishan bowed his head and coughed dryly, covering his lips with a smile, interrupting their quarrel. "what happened?"
"Brother Seven!" Xie Jiuxiang shouted as if seeing a life-saving straw. "You came at the right time, help me! This group of girls insists on me marrying their young ladies. I haven't even seen their young ladies before..."
"Ninth brother hasn't met that young lady yet, why did he say he won't marry her?" Er Yuehong said with a half-smile.
"Sister-in-law, Mrs. sister-in-law, why are you here?" Xie Jiu was taken aback, and then argued again. "I won't marry her even if she's a fish and a wild goose!"
"If you have anything to do, go upstairs and meet their master, and talking about it here is not good for the reputation of the girl's family." Zhang Qishan glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and said.
Master Zhuang looked at the young man sitting below, and nodded with satisfaction.
Well, good, good.
Seeing Master Zhuang's eyes turning on Xie Jiu, Zhang Qishan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Master Zhuang, this is because my younger brother is reckless, but I'm afraid you shouldn't be hasty about getting married."
"Young master Xie is right. But your younger brother did catch the little girl's hydrangea, and these common people can testify. Our family is also a big family in the local area. If the marriage is over, where will we put our face?"
Zhang Qishan thought for a while, then pondered: "My brother is stubborn, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to cherish Miss. As long as Master Zhuang is willing to cancel the marriage, we can pay the dowry."
"Do you want to regret the marriage?" Master Zhuang stood up and snorted coldly. "The most important thing our farmer lacks is money. You don't want to regret the marriage. Come here, please stay at home for a few days until the little girl gets married!"
He shouted, and the surrounding guards immediately surrounded him.
"Are you trying to put us under house arrest?" Zhang Qishan stood up and said in a deep voice.
A group of Habayashi guards immediately put on their scabbards to protect them.
The two sides were at each other's throats, and they were on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, a servant hurried in and said something to Master Zhuang in a low voice.Master Zhuang frowned slightly and nodded.
"Do you know the Huo family?"
"The Huo family?" Xie Jiu whispered softly. "Could it be..."
Before he could finish speaking, a twenty-eight-year-old girl walked in gracefully.
The girl was wearing a light green gauze shirt with large sleeves and double breasted and a long white tube top dress. She didn't have any accessories, except for a few dewy pear blossoms on her hair.Chu waist guard temples, crescent eyebrows are green, tender and graceful, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Concubine Huo Guifei, but less beautiful than her, more distinct and proud, which makes people's hearts move.
It was Huo Yanyan, the fifth sister of the Huo family who was hailed as the "Fairy Girl" by the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
She is indeed worthy of the word "immortal".Because this girl has a temperament that people can't look directly at and play with.This temperament is innate and cannot be cultivated.Her temperament comes from her eyes, which are a kind of eyes that are born in this world, so clear that they seem to have never been polluted by the world.Look into her eyes, as if you will do anything she asks you to do.
Huo Yanyan moved lightly, as a junior, he first saluted Master Zhuang.Then he turned his head and smiled slightly at Zhang Qishan and Xie Jiu, "Yanyan met brother-in-law and elder brother Xie."
She bowed to the two of them, and then said to Master Zhuang: "I heard that Brother Xie accidentally picked up Sister Zhuang's hydrangea, so I hurried over here. Uncle, please forgive me for talking too much. Compared with others, no Is sister Zhuang's happiness more important?"
She approached, leaned down and said something in Master Zhuang's ear, Master Zhuang was shocked when he heard the words, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"impossible!"
"Uncle, if you don't believe me, why not see for yourself." Huo Yanyan chuckled. "What's more, the Huo family has business contacts with the Zhuang family all year round, how dare Yanyan lie to uncle?"
Master Zhuang turned his gaze at Xie Jiu, and his expression suddenly became angry.
"Then what kind of hydrangea are you picking up! Hmph!"
He said angrily, and walked away.
All the servants looked at each other and followed him away.
There was no one else in the hall for a while, Huo Yanyan smiled and said, "I heard that you, brother-in-law, are staying at the inn. Where is the convenience of having a home in the inn, why don't you come to my house for the few days you are in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
The inn is indeed not very convenient.Zhang Qishan nodded lightly: "Thank you very much."
"Yanyan is really flattered." She bent the corners of her lips. "Everyone, please follow me."
Walking into the Huo family compound, Huo Yanyan ordered to go down and prepare the best wing for them, and then dismissed all the servants.
Only then did she solemnly salute a few people with a dignified expression.
"Little girl pays respects to Your Majesty, the Prince, and Lord Qi!"
She glanced at the smiling and silent person beside Zhang Qishan, and smiled faintly: "Is this the Empress Xi? Greetings to the Empress Xi."
"Let's be flat. There won't be so many rules when you're out of the palace, you can just address him like you were in the dealer just now." Zhang Qishan said in a deep voice, with a relaxed expression on his face. "It was thanks to you just now that you helped us and the ninth brother out of the siege."
Huo Yanyan didn't give in, and thanked him generously for getting up: "It's nothing more than a little effort. I heard about this in the Huo family's shop, and I heard that those people described it as you, so I came here quickly."
She set her sights on Er Yuehong again, her expression calm and bright.
"Concubine Xi is the daughter of the Tang family, so how about I call her 'Sister Tang'? Sister, please call me Huo Xiaowu or Sister Huo. I heard that the eldest sister troubled Sister Tang in the palace. My sister has been spoiled since she was a child." , inevitably a little proud. I also ask Sister Tang to be magnanimous and take care of it, don't mind."
Er Yuehong smiled and nodded, feeling a little fond of the little girl.
"Sister Huo, what are you talking about. Your sister is suffering, and I know it too." He said, his voice lowered.
People in the harem, who doesn't have pain in their hearts?
Zhang Qishan took his shoulders and patted him lightly.
"You guys have been working hard for a day, let's rest first. In the morning, I will take a few of you to see Suzhou and Hangzhou." Huo Yanyan said.
Several people nodded, and went back to their rooms to rest.
After several people had left, Xie Jiu followed Huo Yanyan and said, "Huo Xiaowu, what did you say to that Master Zhuang to make him just let it go?"
Huo Yanyan raised her sleeves to cover her teeth that were biting her lower lip because she couldn't hold back her laughter, and said in a teasing tone, "Brother Xie wants to know?"
"Of course I want to. I have seen that eloquent tongue when you were still in the capital. However, how did you convince him in today's situation?" Xie Jiu asked.
"Say it first, I said it, you can't get angry." Huo Yanyan rolled her bright eyes and said with a smile.
Why are you angry?Xie Jiu was taken aback, and said hastily.
"I'm not angry. Speak and I'll listen."
"Hey, then I'll say it." Huo Yanyan put down his sleeves and said solemnly. "I said, Uncle, you don't know something, this brother of the Xie family, he doesn't like women, he is a cut-off sleeve! If you don't believe me, you can see that Yanyan's beauty is also ranked first in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but he can't even look at it. He didn't even look at me, isn't it because he is not interested in women? He likes men, if Sister Zhuang marries him, wouldn't it be ruining her life's happiness?" After she finished speaking, she laughed regardless of everyone's ladylike demeanor. speak up.
The silver bell-like laughter gradually fell silent until Huo Yanyan's figure disappeared, and Xie Jiu also came back to his senses, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were almost dislocated with anger.
"You, Huo Xiaowu, you dare to say that I...Damn it, when did I lose my sleeve! I don't know! You, you are slander! Damn little fox!"

☆, Yu Liyuan re-dressed in costumes, talking and laughing
No.14 Going back to Liyuan to dress up in costumes again, talking and laughing, saying a word becomes a prophecy
"It's good to have clear water and clear water, and it's strange to see the mountains in the rain. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, it's always suitable to wear light makeup and heavy makeup." It is the West Lake in Hangzhou.
Needless to say, the beauty of the West Lake is not exaggerated.The green willows were blowing on the embankment, and the spring was shining brightly. Everyone was so shocked by the beauty of the harmony of movement and movement in front of them.
After enjoying the West Lake, all other beautiful scenery is a bit bleak.It just so happened that several people were a little tired at this time, so Xie Jiu suggested finding a teahouse to rest for a while.
Huo Yanyan rolled her almond eyes, and said with a smile: "Just now I thought of another good place, and this is the best place in Hangzhou. I promise you won't feel tired after going there."
She covered her lips and smiled when she saw the eyes of the crowd coming over with a bit of curiosity and inquiry.
On the stage, a good show of talented scholars and beautiful ladies was being staged, Zhang Qishan and others sat in the elegant compartment upstairs, their interest was aroused.
Unexpectedly, it was Liyuan that Huo Yanyan brought them here.According to Huo Yanyan, this Cheng family team not only sings well in Huagu opera, but also in Beijing opera. They are very famous in the south of the Yangtze River.
Only Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong were sitting at this table.
Seeing the glamorous actor's sleeves fluttering on the stage, Zhang Qishan smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Before you entered the palace, you were a dan role in the troupe, how is it compared to this role?"
"You underestimate me too." Er Yuehong snorted, with a bit of arrogance in front of her brows. "I can't do anything wrong with Er Yuehong. Cheng Jiaban, who sings the female role, looks pretty good, but his singing is a bit inferior." He said, shaking his head with a half-smile.
"Oh?" Zhang Qishan followed his gaze, but his mind was wandering.
These days in the palace, he had never seen Er Yuehong singing an opera.He had a subtle premonition that the man's performance would not be too ordinary.Suddenly there is some expectation.
He turned his head to look at Er Yuehong, and when he noticed the light in her eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
"Do you want to sing another play?" he said with a smile. "right here."
Er Yuehong was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and sneered: "Forget it, forget it, I'll make trouble if someone else sings well. Besides, if he suddenly wants to replace someone else's actor on stage, the boss of this troupe will not Will agree."
"Is there anything wrong with what I do?" Zhang Qishan said with a slight smile. "rest assured."
He beckoned to a guard and whispered something to him.The guard nodded and immediately turned to do it.
After just a cup of tea, the guards came back and brought back a middle-aged man with a pleasant smile.
"I'm the boss of Cheng's class." Boss Cheng said, looking at Er Yuehong with a smile. "Is this the lady who wants to sing on stage?"
"It's my wife." Zhang Qishan answered for him. "My wife has been obsessed with opera for a long time, can Boss Cheng arrange a role for my wife?"
"Yes, yes." Boss Cheng nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Er Yuehong. "Madam is playing a female role, right?" He raised his hand to call a young man, and ordered him to take Er Yuehong backstage to dress up.
Seeing Er Yuehong going downstairs with the young man, Boss Cheng hurriedly bowed down and said courteously, "Young master, this, the agreed upon booking fee..."
"Don't worry, you won't miss a single word."
Zhang Qishan smiled slightly, and gracefully picked up the teacup.
I don't know how long it took, a play on the stage ended, and the song came to an end.
A moment later, accompanied by the beating of drums and melodious huqin, a melodious and high-spirited voice came from afar.
"Dream back to the warbler, chaotic times are everywhere, people set up small courtyards and deep courtyards—"
This loud voice made the people watching the show startled for a moment, and then they recovered their senses and quickly clapped their hands in applause.
"The smoke is exhausted, and the embroidery thread is thrown away. This spring pass feels like last year. Xiaolai looks at the plum pass, and the makeup is broken. The Yichun bun is leaning on the railing. The cutting is constant, the reason is still chaotic, boring for no reason. I have ordered to remind Hua Yingyan takes advantage of spring to see..."
A beautiful woman in a pink theater gown walked up to the stage, half of her face was covered by her long sleeves, her beautiful eyes were as black as ink, and she was looking forward to express her love.
With a well-proportioned figure, beautiful appearance, and just the right voice, the eyes of everyone in the audience followed Du Liniang on the stage unconsciously, and they couldn't move their eyes.
Zhang Qishan quietly looked at the beautiful woman in red makeup on the stage, surprised and pleasantly surprised.
He had never seen such a magnificent, arrogant and confident Er Yuehong.
No, it should be said that this is the real February Red.
Proud and staggered, the eyes of the waves are born, and the heavens are also jealous.
"It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the place, and they are all ruined like this. No matter what day is the beautiful scenery on a good day, whose house is it to enjoy the pleasure? The morning flies and the evening rolls, the clouds and green pavilions. The rain and the wind, the smoke and waves draw boats. Jinping people are special. It’s such a cheap time to see—”
The beautiful woman on the stage was singing to the point of deep love, and she glanced here when she raised her head intentionally or unknowingly.
Intertwined with Zhang Qishan's bewildered eyes for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and turned around with the sound of drums and zither.
"Garden Tour" came to an end, Er Yuehong was taking off her makeup in the background and hadn't come back yet.
Xie Jiu couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "Although I know Mrs. Sister-in-law is good at singing operas, I didn't expect her to be so pretty when dressed up!"
"Cough!" Qi Yun coughed dryly and said with a dry smile. "Throat is a little itchy, hehe."
He picked up his tea and took a sip.
Zhang Qishan nodded at him with a half-smile, seemingly unintentionally asked: "When did the ninth brother know that Madam can sing?"
"It was very early. That time I heard Mrs. Sister-in-law singing an opera that attracted me to go in. That's how I got to know Mrs. Sister-in-law." Xie Jiu replied with a relaxed smile.
"Oh? It turns out that the ninth brother has known his wife for a long time. No wonder the ninth brother helped him at the New Year's banquet. I thought it was just a coincidence." Zhang Qishan said with a serious smile. "However, breaking in...referring to Duanhua Palace?"
Huo Yanyan couldn't help but want to cover her lips and snigger, so she had no choice but to hold up the teacup to cover it up.
Only then did Xie Jiu realize that something was wrong, and slowly turned his head and smiled dryly at Zhang Qishan: "Seventh Brother Seventh... I, I broke in by mistake, it was definitely not on purpose!"
Zhang Qishan chuckled lightly at his nervous appearance.
"Okay, I didn't say I'm going to punish you. You and I are brothers who grew up together. I can't kill your head just because you accidentally broke into the harem?"
As he spoke, he sighed again.
"But you, you are the best-written article among the brothers, and you are very smart. If you weren't a little childish, you would definitely be my right-hand man."
Only then did Xie Jiu breathe a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Seventh brother, look at what you said. I used to live in the palace, and I was as silent as a cicada. Now that I finally have my own palace, can't I live a little easier?"
"Of course it's good to live a relaxed life. It's just that you have a special status, Ninth Brother, so you should be careful in what you say and do." Er Yuehong walked in while talking, smiling faintly. "Even if you don't expect you to be a step-by-step and seamless person, at least you should make a plan before you act, and think about a few contingencies."
"That's right." Zhang Qishan looked up at him with a smile, and then looked at Xie Jiu. "I don't know if the ninth brother can have such a day."
"Unless something hits me too hard." Jie Jiu replied casually. "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to become such a temper."
This remark caused everyone to laugh again.
At that time, when I was young, no one knew about it, and a single word could become a prophecy.
No.14 is finished.
The author has something to say:
☆. On the return journey, the car drives north and returns, and then the monarch and ministers are separated when they are assassinated
No.15 On the return journey, the car drove north and returned, and the monarch and ministers were separated when they were assassinated again
Farewell to Huo Yanyan, farewell to Suzhou and Hangzhou, everyone embarked on the return journey back to Beijing.
The horse had been running continuously for an hour or two, and it was the afternoon. They were a little tired, so they stopped the carriage and rested in the woods for a while, and the horse was also tied to the tree.
Er Yuehong was helped out of the carriage by Qing Yun, a maid accompanying her, and sat on the silk mat under the tree.Zhang Qishan was also sitting beside him, leaning against the tree seemingly casually, and said calmly: "This road is not easy to walk, the carriage bumps a lot, can your body take it?"
Er Yuehong sneered: "Although I don't know martial arts, I'm still a man anyway, why can't I bear it?"
When he said this, he lowered his voice, and since the surrounding guards were not too close, no one else could hear him clearly.
"But you, riding a horse is more tiring, right?"
"I'm used to it." Zhang Qishan smiled and answered calmly.
Er Yuehong's eyes moved and she looked up at him.
"you……"
Zhang Qishan turned sideways, interrupted him with a silencing motion, and held his breath.
The next moment, he quickly grabbed Er Yuehong's waist and rolled to the side.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
With the barely audible sound of the wind, three silver needles were accurately shot into the cushion he was sitting on just now.
"There are assassins!" The vigilant Habayashi almost immediately discovered the hidden weapon and shouted. "Protect the master!"
Seeing that the traces were exposed, the men in black flew down, one group wrapped around the Habayashi guards, and the other group rushed towards Zhang Qishan.
"Be careful!" Zhang Qishan pulled Er Yuehong up and protected him behind him. "Don't get too far away from me."
The sword was always at his waist, Zhang Qishan quickly drew the sword out of its sheath, stabbing the oncoming assassin a few times, the sword was stained red with blood.
At this time, Xie Jiu and Qi Yun had already guarded Zhang Qishan with swords, protecting him and Er Yuehong.
The few of them have excellent martial arts skills, but they are outnumbered in the end, and they can't gain advantage in a fight, and a group of Habayashi guards are entangled, so it can be said that they are useless.
Going on like this is not an option.Blindly exhausting their physical strength, they will soon be unable to resist.
Their goal is only themselves...
Thinking quickly, Zhang Qishan's dark eyes sank, and he called out to Xie Jiu, "Ninth Brother!"
Xie Jiu pulled out the sword from an assassin, barely turning his head.
Zhang Qishan made a simple gesture to him, then raised three fingers, turned around, embraced Er Yuehong and flew up.After a few ups and downs, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
Habayashi Wei and the people in black were shocked.The man in black hurried to catch up, but was entangled.Only a few barely escaped and chased after them.
After fighting for an unknown amount of time, the last man in black was stabbed and fell down.There was blood and corpses everywhere.
The Habayashi guards were more or less injured, as were Xie Jiu and Qi Yun.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
Xie Jiu raised his hand to stop the leader of the Habayashi Guard from asking nervously, and said in a deep voice: "In three days, we will meet up with Brother Huang at the end of this forest."
Habayashi Wei was taken aback for a moment, answered "Yes", and slowly stepped back.
Wiping the blood spattered on his face with the back of his hand, Qi Yun raised his head and looked at him.
"How did you know?"
Xie Jiu sat down, tired to the point of exhaustion, and said with a wry smile:
"That hand gesture was commonly used by my brother and I to sneak out of the palace when we were young, how could I not know it?"
Hearing the hurried footsteps above gradually fade away, everything returned to silence.
Under the gully, Zhang Qishan, who was leaning tightly on the soil, let go of the hand that was tightly covering Er Yue's red mouth, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had nothing to worry about, of course he would not choose to run away, but now... Zhang Qishan thought about it, and looked down at the person who was unconsciously clinging to his clothes.
"It's okay." He said in a deep voice, and was about to stand up when he felt the tingling pain in his arm.
The left arm had been stabbed with a sword before, and blood was flowing down the hanging arm at this moment.
"You're hurt." Er Yuehong tried her best to maintain her composure, but she didn't know that her voice was trembling unconsciously. "Bandage it first."
He took out a plain white handkerchief, wrapped it tightly around his wound, and tied it up with a knot.
Zhang Qishan watched him finish these actions quietly, looked up at the sky, and frowned slightly.
"The weather is bad, it's probably going to rain, let's find someone to spend the night at first, hurry up."
Not far away, I saw a village in the distance.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the two hurried into the village, found a house, and knocked on the door lightly.
The person who came to open the door was an old woman with gray temples, she understood the purpose of the two people's visit, she nodded kindly with a smile, and led the two people in.
The humble house can finally provide shelter from the wind and rain.Strangely, I didn't see the old woman's children, only a bedridden grandson.
"Old man, your children... went out?"
Er Yuehong asked tentatively.
The old woman paused when she heard the sound, and gave a wry smile: "My sons and daughters, alas... I only have one son, who was a herb picker. He fell off a cliff a few years ago and died..."
Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong had a meal at the same time.Er Yuehong was a little overwhelmed, and quickly apologized guiltily: "Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up."
The old woman smiled and waved her hand: "It's all over, I'm used to it after all these years."
After all, he couldn't help but sigh.
"If you don't mind, the two of you can live in my house tonight. You seem to be from a wealthy family, and you don't know if you can't get used to it."
"How can this be done? Old man..." Zhang Qishan frowned, but was interrupted.
"It's okay, I'll be in the same room with my grandson tonight, so it's convenient to take care of him." The old woman smiled kindly. "You husband and wife, stay in my house."
Hearing the word "husband and wife", Er Yuehong's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot, but it was irrefutable for a while.
The old woman glanced down and was startled when she saw the blood on Zhang Qishan's clothes.
"Ah, young master, are you injured?"
Zhang Qishan put away his sleeves, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing, just a little injury."
"Small injuries need to be taken care of. You young people must have exposed your wealth when you go out, otherwise why would the robbers target you?" The old woman pulled him to sit aside, found a clean cloth and re-wrapped it.
"What the old man said is true." Zhang Qishan responded in a gentle voice. "Thank you, old man."
He raised his eyes, was looking worried at Shang Eryue's red eyes, and smiled softly.
Sure enough, it began to rain heavily before nightfall, and it continued to rain for several hours.
At night, the two lay back to back on the simple bed.It was raining heavily outside the window, and the sound of splashing made the house quiet and speechless.
The grandson of the old woman next door seemed to be very ill, coughing non-stop, and the old woman patted him on the back from time to time to gently coax him to sleep.All the voices passed into the ears of the two without any leakage.
Both of them were so blocked that they couldn't fall asleep, but neither of them spoke first.
After being silent for a while, Er Yuehong turned over and sat up, and said softly, "You go to bed first, I'll come as soon as I go."
He got up and went out, closing the door behind his back.
Zhang Qishan also sat up and sighed silently.

No.16 Returning to Jasper Ring is urgent, and the authorities are obsessed with onlookers
Er Yuehong knocked lightly on the door, and after getting the old lady's response, she pushed open the door and walked into the house.
The old woman's grandson seemed to have just fallen asleep, with a sallow complexion and skinny bones, as if he had been ill for a long time.
Er Yuehong couldn't bear to disturb the poor child any more, so she led the old woman out of the house.
He didn't have any belongings on his body at the moment, only a pair of jade bracelets that he had been wearing all the time.
"Old man," he called softly, slowly took off a green bracelet from his wrist, and stuffed it into her hand. "I didn't bring any silver taels, I only have this. Pawn it for some money and treat the child."
The old woman's home can be described as dilapidated, and it is not difficult to guess why her grandson was delayed in receiving treatment.
Money, for ordinary people, is the most practical issue.
The old woman shook her head again and again, and pushed the bracelet back to him.
"How can this be done! Girl, I can't accept this!"
Hearing her address, Er Yuehong smiled wryly from the bottom of her heart.
"Old man, you can accept it. The child's illness is the most urgent thing, and the child's illness is cured first."
"Well, how can this be done! I have never met the girl, how can I take your things, let alone this kind of treasure?" The old woman shook her head in a panic and refused to accept it.
Although she has never seen any treasures in her life, this bracelet is green and flawless, and it looks like a lot of money.
Er Yuehong smiled faintly and said: "Old man, you are doing us a favor by giving us a place to rest. You are our benefactor, why are you still strangers? I will naturally repay you. Besides, there is no life for the baby important?"
Hearing the last sentence, the old woman paused, and Er Yuehong took the opportunity to stuff the bracelet into her hand.
"Old man, it's us who repay you, can't you?"
The old woman paused, nodded slowly, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, you are a good person! That young master is also a good person! I, I don't know how to thank you..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help wiping away her tears.
Er Yuehong helped her to sit down, seeing this, she felt faintly uncomfortable.
After calming down, the old woman said, "Girl, it's so late, go to bed quickly. Isn't that young master injured? He also needs to rest earlier... Hey, look at me, I'm so confused. Are you husband and wife? ? Then I shouldn't call you 'girl', I should call you 'madam'..."
Hearing the old woman's unintentional words, Er Yuehong felt a sting in her heart, and couldn't help but blurt out.
"I'm not……"
"Huh? Not what?"
Er Yuehong knew she had slipped her words, and quickly changed her words: "I mean, I'm not Madam..." He lowered his eyes.
Seeing the old woman looking at him questioningly, he could only continue to say: "I'm just one of his concubines, how can I be called a wife?"
In fact, this is not entirely a lie.
The old woman was a little surprised when she heard the words: "Concubine? Then this young master must like you very much."
"Why do you say that?" Er Yuehong couldn't help but ask.
The old lady smiled and said: "When a disaster is imminent, such couples fly separately. It is not uncommon to see such a couple. When encountering a robber, who does not care about running for his own life first, but he protects you and escapes, and he was injured because of it. Since it is not married, if it is not I really like you, how can I do this? The authorities are really confused by the onlookers, such a simple truth, the girl doesn't understand?"
Er Yuehong was dumbfounded for a moment, and only faltered: "He..."
"In the face of life and death, you can see people's hearts." The old woman said slowly, smiling kindly. "Girl, although my eyes are dim, I'm not blind. I can see that you like him too. I can't tell the old man whether you love him or hate him, but since you are in love, let's stay together." What does it matter if it is a concubine's room or not?"
"I, I like him?" Er Yuehong couldn't help but question, and then laughed out loud to herself. "How can this be?"
"It's impossible." The old woman said seriously. "Looks don't lie."
eyes?
Touching her right eye with her fingers, Er Yuehong was stunned.
Then the old woman said something to him, but he didn't catch a word.Until the old lady left, he was still sitting at the table alone.
The candlelight on the table was dancing fiercely.
I just feel messed up.
My heart is very chaotic.
Zhang Qi
He is trying to vent his anger.Zhang Qishan laughed.It would take at least half an hour to buy this trip.
"Okay, I'll go buy it. Where are you going then?"
"I'll go back to the inn, don't worry." Er Yuehong couldn't help laughing. "Go, don't go, it will be dark when you buy it back!"
Zhang Qishan smiled helplessly or indulgently, and made a gesture in a place where he could not see, ordering the guards who were protecting in the dark to send one person to follow Er Yuehong.Then he turned and walked towards the busy streets.
Er Yuehong watched him walk away with squinted eyes, feeling indescribably happy in her heart.He also turned around and walked briskly towards the inn.
At the entrance of a small restaurant, an old beggar in ragged clothes was sitting on the threshold of the restaurant, holding a gourd in his hand, drinking wine recklessly.
The wine flowed down his neck, and he didn't care, until he drank all the wine in the gourd, and smacked his lips as if he still had something to say.
It just so happened that Er Yuehong walked past this restaurant alone, and was stopped by the old beggar.
"Hey, girl, girl!"
Er Yuehong didn't react at first, until the old beggar got up and grabbed his wide sleeves.
"Uh, old man, are you calling me?"
The old beggar seemed very dissatisfied, and muttered: "Who else can I call you, the girl now, really, you don't respect me, an old man."
Er Yuehong froze for a moment, raised a smile and looked at the old man.
"Hey, old man, what's the matter?"
"Girl, do you have any money? My old man is addicted to alcohol, hehe, but it's a pity that he has no money."
Er Yuehong laughed.
He thought that people who ask for help would feel humble, but he didn't expect this old man to be very interesting.
"Old man, what do you mean, let me give you some money to buy wine?"
"Hey, it's not giving, it's borrowing!"
Er Yuehong couldn't help laughing now.
"Yes." He took out the money bag on his waist and walked into the restaurant.
Walking to the cabinet, he whispered something to the shopkeeper and pointed to the old beggar.When he came back, the waiter in the restaurant followed him, holding a jar of wine.
"Old man, take this altar of wine as a gift from me, isn't that enough?"
The old beggar happily took the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine wafted out immediately after unsealing it.He leaned up to smell it, and exclaimed, "Good wine!"
Seeing that the waiter in the restaurant had returned to the restaurant, the old beggar said with a smile, "My lord, you are a good man."
Er Yuehong was taken aback.
"You, what did you say?"
"I said you are a good person. There are not many such good young people nowadays, alas, the world is so cold."
Er Yuehong stared blankly at the old man.
"How do you..."
"How do I know you are a man?" the old beggar said with a smile. "Although my family is old, I understand it very well here." He pointed to his head. "With your face, if you were born as a woman, you must be a confidante. You should have died a year ago, and you can't live now. As a man, as long as you can survive the calamity, you can do something. If you can't ... is also the master of fate."
"Jie? What robbery?" Er Yuehong asked in surprise.
"Hey, look!" the old beggar suddenly shouted.
Er Yuehong looked in the direction he pointed, but there was nothing.He suddenly realized that he had been cheated, and when he turned his head again, the old beggar had disappeared.
He looked around a little disappointed, where was the figure of the old beggar!
If it weren't for the puddle of wine still left on the ground, he might have thought it was just an illusion.

☆, Fake romance mistakenly picks up hydrangea, true temperament meets Huo Wumei
No.13 Back to the fake romantic mistakenly pick up the hydrangea, the real love meets Huo Wumei
It was nearly dusk when Zhang Qishan brought the things back.
Seeing that Er Yuehong looked a little weird, he just pretended that he was still sulking, so he didn't ask further.
This night, he rested early.
Early the next morning, when Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong woke up, they were surprised to find that Xie Jiu and Qi Yun had disappeared.
After questioning several guards, I learned that the two had left the inn early.
After all, Xie Jiu was young and couldn't bear his temper. The guards didn't dare to let him go out alone, so Qi Yun brought two people to follow him.
Just after breakfast at the inn, a guard hurried back.
"What's the matter, so anxious?" Er Yuehong joked with a smile.
"Go back to Seventh Young Master and Seventh Young Madam, it's not good, Ninth Young Master..."
"What happened to the ninth brother?" Not only was Er Yuehong surprised, but Zhang Qishan's brows were unconsciously frowned. "Meet an assassin?"
Xie Jiu and Qi Yun both have martial arts, so self-defense is no problem.Afraid of being besieged by many people and outnumbered...
"No, it's not." The guard looked up at him, as if sweat was dripping from his forehead. "Master Ninth mistakenly picked up a lady's hydrangea, and was stopped by that family."
Zhang Qishan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, Er Yuehong beside him had already burst out laughing.
The two arrived in a hurry.
Jianjiu's face was blushing, and she was being pulled by the sleeves of the surrounding maidservants.The maids surrounded him and walked up to the attic. He couldn't do anything hard to women, so he could only struggle with a bitter face.
"Girl, hey, girl, please let go of me first! Can a man and a woman kiss each other!"
"Uncle, master and miss are waiting for you upstairs!"
"What, what uncle! I didn't plan to marry her! I've said it hundreds of times. I walked through the crowd. Who knew that your lady's hydrangea just flew over..."
"Uncle, what you said is wrong! You caught our young lady's hydrangea, and so many people saw it. If you don't marry, where will you put the face of our young lady?"
"You, why are you unreasonable girl!"
"Ninth Young Master, that's wrong. Don't you call yourself a romantic talent? It's your blessing to receive the hydrangea ball. Why are you pushing back and forth." Qi Yun added fuel to the scene with a smile on his side. "Didn't I say a few days ago that you were lucky? Look, that's right."
"What kind of peach blossom luck, it's obviously a rotten peach blossom!" Xie Jiu blushed with anger. "If you are capable, you will marry..."
"Cough, Ninth Brother!" Zhang Qishan bowed his head and coughed dryly, covering his lips with a smile, interrupting their quarrel. "what happened?"
"Brother Seven!" Xie Jiuxiang shouted as if seeing a life-saving straw. "You came at the right time, help me! This group of girls insists on me marrying their young ladies. I haven't even seen their young ladies before..."
"Ninth brother hasn't met that young lady yet, why did he say he won't marry her?" Er Yuehong said with a half-smile.
"Sister-in-law, Mrs. sister-in-law, why are you here?" Xie Jiu was taken aback, and then argued again. "I won't marry her even if she's a fish and a wild goose!"
"If you have anything to do, go upstairs and meet their master, and talking about it here is not good for the reputation of the girl's family." Zhang Qishan glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and said.
Master Zhuang looked at the young man sitting below, and nodded with satisfaction.
Well, good, good.
Seeing Master Zhuang's eyes turning on Xie Jiu, Zhang Qishan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Master Zhuang, this is because my younger brother is reckless, but I'm afraid you shouldn't be hasty about getting married."
"Young master Xie is right. But your younger brother did catch the little girl's hydrangea, and these common people can testify. Our family is also a big family in the local area. If the marriage is over, where will we put our face?"
Zhang Qishan thought for a while, then pondered: "My brother is stubborn, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to cherish Miss. As long as Master Zhuang is willing to cancel the marriage, we can pay the dowry."
"Do you want to regret the marriage?" Master Zhuang stood up and snorted coldly. "The most important thing our farmer lacks is money. You don't want to regret the marriage. Come here, please stay at home for a few days until the little girl gets married!"
He shouted, and the surrounding guards immediately surrounded him.
"Are you trying to put us under house arrest?" Zhang Qishan stood up and said in a deep voice.
A group of Habayashi guards immediately put on their scabbards to protect them.
The two sides were at each other's throats, and they were on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, a servant hurried in and said something to Master Zhuang in a low voice.Master Zhuang frowned slightly and nodded.
"Do you know the Huo family?"
"The Huo family?" Xie Jiu whispered softly. "Could it be..."
Before he could finish speaking, a twenty-eight-year-old girl walked in gracefully.
The girl was wearing a light green gauze shirt with large sleeves and double breasted and a long white tube top dress. She didn't have any accessories, except for a few dewy pear blossoms on her hair.Chu waist guard temples, crescent eyebrows are green, tender and graceful, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Concubine Huo Guifei, but less beautiful than her, more distinct and proud, which makes people's hearts move.
It was Huo Yanyan, the fifth sister of the Huo family who was hailed as the "Fairy Girl" by the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
She is indeed worthy of the word "immortal".Because this girl has a temperament that people can't look directly at and play with.This temperament is innate and cannot be cultivated.Her temperament comes from her eyes, which are a kind of eyes that are born in this world, so clear that they seem to have never been polluted by the world.Look into her eyes, as if you will do anything she asks you to do.
Huo Yanyan moved lightly, as a junior, he first saluted Master Zhuang.Then he turned his head and smiled slightly at Zhang Qishan and Xie Jiu, "Yanyan met brother-in-law and elder brother Xie."
She bowed to the two of them, and then said to Master Zhuang: "I heard that Brother Xie accidentally picked up Sister Zhuang's hydrangea, so I hurried over here. Uncle, please forgive me for talking too much. Compared with others, no Is sister Zhuang's happiness more important?"
She approached, leaned down and said something in Master Zhuang's ear, Master Zhuang was shocked when he heard the words, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"impossible!"
"Uncle, if you don't believe me, why not see for yourself." Huo Yanyan chuckled. "What's more, the Huo family has business contacts with the Zhuang family all year round, how dare Yanyan lie to uncle?"
Master Zhuang turned his gaze at Xie Jiu, and his expression suddenly became angry.
"Then what kind of hydrangea are you picking up! Hmph!"
He said angrily, and walked away.
All the servants looked at each other and followed him away.
There was no one else in the hall for a while, Huo Yanyan smiled and said, "I heard that you, brother-in-law, are staying at the inn. Where is the convenience of having a home in the inn, why don't you come to my house for the few days you are in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
The inn is indeed not very convenient.Zhang Qishan nodded lightly: "Thank you very much."
"Yanyan is really flattered." She bent the corners of her lips. "Everyone, please follow me."
Walking into the Huo family compound, Huo Yanyan ordered to go down and prepare the best wing for them, and then dismissed all the servants.
Only then did she solemnly salute a few people with a dignified expression.
"Little girl pays respects to Your Majesty, the Prince, and Lord Qi!"
She glanced at the smiling and silent person beside Zhang Qishan, and smiled faintly: "Is this the Empress Xi? Greetings to the Empress Xi."
"Let's be flat. There won't be so many rules when you're out of the palace, you can just address him like you were in the dealer just now." Zhang Qishan said in a deep voice, with a relaxed expression on his face. "It was thanks to you just now that you helped us and the ninth brother out of the siege."
Huo Yanyan didn't give in, and thanked him generously for getting up: "It's nothing more than a little effort. I heard about this in the Huo family's shop, and I heard that those people described it as you, so I came here quickly."
She set her sights on Er Yuehong again, her expression calm and bright.
"Concubine Xi is the daughter of the Tang family, so how about I call her 'Sister Tang'? Sister, please call me Huo Xiaowu or Sister Huo. I heard that the eldest sister troubled Sister Tang in the palace. My sister has been spoiled since she was a child." , inevitably a little proud. I also ask Sister Tang to be magnanimous and take care of it, don't mind."
Er Yuehong smiled and nodded, feeling a little fond of the little girl.
"Sister Huo, what are you talking about. Your sister is suffering, and I know it too." He said, his voice lowered.
People in the harem, who doesn't have pain in their hearts?
Zhang Qishan took his shoulders and patted him lightly.
"You guys have been working hard for a day, let's rest first. In the morning, I will take a few of you to see Suzhou and Hangzhou." Huo Yanyan said.
Several people nodded, and went back to their rooms to rest.
After several people had left, Xie Jiu followed Huo Yanyan and said, "Huo Xiaowu, what did you say to that Master Zhuang to make him just let it go?"
Huo Yanyan raised her sleeves to cover her teeth that were biting her lower lip because she couldn't hold back her laughter, and said in a teasing tone, "Brother Xie wants to know?"
"Of course I want to. I have seen that eloquent tongue when you were still in the capital. However, how did you convince him in today's situation?" Xie Jiu asked.
"Say it first, I said it, you can't get angry." Huo Yanyan rolled her bright eyes and said with a smile.
Why are you angry?Xie Jiu was taken aback, and said hastily.
"I'm not angry. Speak and I'll listen."
"Hey, then I'll say it." Huo Yanyan put down his sleeves and said solemnly. "I said, Uncle, you don't know something, this brother of the Xie family, he doesn't like women, he is a cut-off sleeve! If you don't believe me, you can see that Yanyan's beauty is also ranked first in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but he can't even look at it. He didn't even look at me, isn't it because he is not interested in women? He likes men, if Sister Zhuang marries him, wouldn't it be ruining her life's happiness?" After she finished speaking, she laughed regardless of everyone's ladylike demeanor. speak up.
The silver bell-like laughter gradually fell silent until Huo Yanyan's figure disappeared, and Xie Jiu also came back to his senses, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were almost dislocated with anger.
"You, Huo Xiaowu, you dare to say that I...Damn it, when did I lose my sleeve! I don't know! You, you are slander! Damn little fox!"

☆, Yu Liyuan re-dressed in costumes, talking and laughing
No.14 Going back to Liyuan to dress up in costumes again, talking and laughing, saying a word becomes a prophecy
"It's good to have clear water and clear water, and it's strange to see the mountains in the rain. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, it's always suitable to wear light makeup and heavy makeup." It is the West Lake in Hangzhou.
Needless to say, the beauty of the West Lake is not exaggerated.The green willows were blowing on the embankment, and the spring was shining brightly. Everyone was so shocked by the beauty of the harmony of movement and movement in front of them.
After enjoying the West Lake, all other beautiful scenery is a bit bleak.It just so happened that several people were a little tired at this time, so Xie Jiu suggested finding a teahouse to rest for a while.
Huo Yanyan rolled her almond eyes, and said with a smile: "Just now I thought of another good place, and this is the best place in Hangzhou. I promise you won't feel tired after going there."
She covered her lips and smiled when she saw the eyes of the crowd coming over with a bit of curiosity and inquiry.
On the stage, a good show of talented scholars and beautiful ladies was being staged, Zhang Qishan and others sat in the elegant compartment upstairs, their interest was aroused.
Unexpectedly, it was Liyuan that Huo Yanyan brought them here.According to Huo Yanyan, this Cheng family team not only sings well in Huagu opera, but also in Beijing opera. They are very famous in the south of the Yangtze River.
Only Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong were sitting at this table.
Seeing the glamorous actor's sleeves fluttering on the stage, Zhang Qishan smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Before you entered the palace, you were a dan role in the troupe, how is it compared to this role?"
"You underestimate me too." Er Yuehong snorted, with a bit of arrogance in front of her brows. "I can't do anything wrong with Er Yuehong. Cheng Jiaban, who sings the female role, looks pretty good, but his singing is a bit inferior." He said, shaking his head with a half-smile.
"Oh?" Zhang Qishan followed his gaze, but his mind was wandering.
These days in the palace, he had never seen Er Yuehong singing an opera.He had a subtle premonition that the man's performance would not be too ordinary.Suddenly there is some expectation.
He turned his head to look at Er Yuehong, and when he noticed the light in her eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
"Do you want to sing another play?" he said with a smile. "right here."
Er Yuehong was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and sneered: "Forget it, forget it, I'll make trouble if someone else sings well. Besides, if he suddenly wants to replace someone else's actor on stage, the boss of this troupe will not Will agree."
"Is there anything wrong with what I do?" Zhang Qishan said with a slight smile. "rest assured."
He beckoned to a guard and whispered something to him.The guard nodded and immediately turned to do it.
After just a cup of tea, the guards came back and brought back a middle-aged man with a pleasant smile.
"I'm the boss of Cheng's class." Boss Cheng said, looking at Er Yuehong with a smile. "Is this the lady who wants to sing on stage?"
"It's my wife." Zhang Qishan answered for him. "My wife has been obsessed with opera for a long time, can Boss Cheng arrange a role for my wife?"
"Yes, yes." Boss Cheng nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Er Yuehong. "Madam is playing a female role, right?" He raised his hand to call a young man, and ordered him to take Er Yuehong backstage to dress up.
Seeing Er Yuehong going downstairs with the young man, Boss Cheng hurriedly bowed down and said courteously, "Young master, this, the agreed upon booking fee..."
"Don't worry, you won't miss a single word."
Zhang Qishan smiled slightly, and gracefully picked up the teacup.
I don't know how long it took, a play on the stage ended, and the song came to an end.
A moment later, accompanied by the beating of drums and melodious huqin, a melodious and high-spirited voice came from afar.
"Dream back to the warbler, chaotic times are everywhere, people set up small courtyards and deep courtyards—"
This loud voice made the people watching the show startled for a moment, and then they recovered their senses and quickly clapped their hands in applause.
"The smoke is exhausted, and the embroidery thread is thrown away. This spring pass feels like last year. Xiaolai looks at the plum pass, and the makeup is broken. The Yichun bun is leaning on the railing. The cutting is constant, the reason is still chaotic, boring for no reason. I have ordered to remind Hua Yingyan takes advantage of spring to see..."
A beautiful woman in a pink theater gown walked up to the stage, half of her face was covered by her long sleeves, her beautiful eyes were as black as ink, and she was looking forward to express her love.
With a well-proportioned figure, beautiful appearance, and just the right voice, the eyes of everyone in the audience followed Du Liniang on the stage unconsciously, and they couldn't move their eyes.
Zhang Qishan quietly looked at the beautiful woman in red makeup on the stage, surprised and pleasantly surprised.
He had never seen such a magnificent, arrogant and confident Er Yuehong.
No, it should be said that this is the real February Red.
Proud and staggered, the eyes of the waves are born, and the heavens are also jealous.
"It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the place, and they are all ruined like this. No matter what day is the beautiful scenery on a good day, whose house is it to enjoy the pleasure? The morning flies and the evening rolls, the clouds and green pavilions. The rain and the wind, the smoke and waves draw boats. Jinping people are special. It’s such a cheap time to see—”
The beautiful woman on the stage was singing to the point of deep love, and she glanced here when she raised her head intentionally or unknowingly.
Intertwined with Zhang Qishan's bewildered eyes for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and turned around with the sound of drums and zither.
"Garden Tour" came to an end, Er Yuehong was taking off her makeup in the background and hadn't come back yet.
Xie Jiu couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "Although I know Mrs. Sister-in-law is good at singing operas, I didn't expect her to be so pretty when dressed up!"
"Cough!" Qi Yun coughed dryly and said with a dry smile. "Throat is a little itchy, hehe."
He picked up his tea and took a sip.
Zhang Qishan nodded at him with a half-smile, seemingly unintentionally asked: "When did the ninth brother know that Madam can sing?"
"It was very early. That time I heard Mrs. Sister-in-law singing an opera that attracted me to go in. That's how I got to know Mrs. Sister-in-law." Xie Jiu replied with a relaxed smile.
"Oh? It turns out that the ninth brother has known his wife for a long time. No wonder the ninth brother helped him at the New Year's banquet. I thought it was just a coincidence." Zhang Qishan said with a serious smile. "However, breaking in...referring to Duanhua Palace?"
Huo Yanyan couldn't help but want to cover her lips and snigger, so she had no choice but to hold up the teacup to cover it up.
Only then did Xie Jiu realize that something was wrong, and slowly turned his head and smiled dryly at Zhang Qishan: "Seventh Brother Seventh... I, I broke in by mistake, it was definitely not on purpose!"
Zhang Qishan chuckled lightly at his nervous appearance.
"Okay, I didn't say I'm going to punish you. You and I are brothers who grew up together. I can't kill your head just because you accidentally broke into the harem?"
As he spoke, he sighed again.
"But you, you are the best-written article among the brothers, and you are very smart. If you weren't a little childish, you would definitely be my right-hand man."
Only then did Xie Jiu breathe a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Seventh brother, look at what you said. I used to live in the palace, and I was as silent as a cicada. Now that I finally have my own palace, can't I live a little easier?"
"Of course it's good to live a relaxed life. It's just that you have a special status, Ninth Brother, so you should be careful in what you say and do." Er Yuehong walked in while talking, smiling faintly. "Even if you don't expect you to be a step-by-step and seamless person, at least you should make a plan before you act, and think about a few contingencies."
"That's right." Zhang Qishan looked up at him with a smile, and then looked at Xie Jiu. "I don't know if the ninth brother can have such a day."
"Unless something hits me too hard." Jie Jiu replied casually. "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to become such a temper."
This remark caused everyone to laugh again.
At that time, when I was young, no one knew about it, and a single word could become a prophecy.
No.14 is finished.
The author has something to say:
☆. On the return journey, the car drives north and returns, and then the monarch and ministers are separated when they are assassinated
No.15 On the return journey, the car drove north and returned, and the monarch and ministers were separated when they were assassinated again
Farewell to Huo Yanyan, farewell to Suzhou and Hangzhou, everyone embarked on the return journey back to Beijing.
The horse had been running continuously for an hour or two, and it was the afternoon. They were a little tired, so they stopped the carriage and rested in the woods for a while, and the horse was also tied to the tree.
Er Yuehong was helped out of the carriage by Qing Yun, a maid accompanying her, and sat on the silk mat under the tree.Zhang Qishan was also sitting beside him, leaning against the tree seemingly casually, and said calmly: "This road is not easy to walk, the carriage bumps a lot, can your body take it?"
Er Yuehong sneered: "Although I don't know martial arts, I'm still a man anyway, why can't I bear it?"
When he said this, he lowered his voice, and since the surrounding guards were not too close, no one else could hear him clearly.
"But you, riding a horse is more tiring, right?"
"I'm used to it." Zhang Qishan smiled and answered calmly.
Er Yuehong's eyes moved and she looked up at him.
"you……"
Zhang Qishan turned sideways, interrupted him with a silencing motion, and held his breath.
The next moment, he quickly grabbed Er Yuehong's waist and rolled to the side.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
With the barely audible sound of the wind, three silver needles were accurately shot into the cushion he was sitting on just now.
"There are assassins!" The vigilant Habayashi almost immediately discovered the hidden weapon and shouted. "Protect the master!"
Seeing that the traces were exposed, the men in black flew down, one group wrapped around the Habayashi guards, and the other group rushed towards Zhang Qishan.
"Be careful!" Zhang Qishan pulled Er Yuehong up and protected him behind him. "Don't get too far away from me."
The sword was always at his waist, Zhang Qishan quickly drew the sword out of its sheath, stabbing the oncoming assassin a few times, the sword was stained red with blood.
At this time, Xie Jiu and Qi Yun had already guarded Zhang Qishan with swords, protecting him and Er Yuehong.
The few of them have excellent martial arts skills, but they are outnumbered in the end, and they can't gain advantage in a fight, and a group of Habayashi guards are entangled, so it can be said that they are useless.
Going on like this is not an option.Blindly exhausting their physical strength, they will soon be unable to resist.
Their goal is only themselves...
Thinking quickly, Zhang Qishan's dark eyes sank, and he called out to Xie Jiu, "Ninth Brother!"
Xie Jiu pulled out the sword from an assassin, barely turning his head.
Zhang Qishan made a simple gesture to him, then raised three fingers, turned around, embraced Er Yuehong and flew up.After a few ups and downs, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
Habayashi Wei and the people in black were shocked.The man in black hurried to catch up, but was entangled.Only a few barely escaped and chased after them.
After fighting for an unknown amount of time, the last man in black was stabbed and fell down.There was blood and corpses everywhere.
The Habayashi guards were more or less injured, as were Xie Jiu and Qi Yun.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
Xie Jiu raised his hand to stop the leader of the Habayashi Guard from asking nervously, and said in a deep voice: "In three days, we will meet up with Brother Huang at the end of this forest."
Habayashi Wei was taken aback for a moment, answered "Yes", and slowly stepped back.
Wiping the blood spattered on his face with the back of his hand, Qi Yun raised his head and looked at him.
"How did you know?"
Xie Jiu sat down, tired to the point of exhaustion, and said with a wry smile:
"That hand gesture was commonly used by my brother and I to sneak out of the palace when we were young, how could I not know it?"
Hearing the hurried footsteps above gradually fade away, everything returned to silence.
Under the gully, Zhang Qishan, who was leaning tightly on the soil, let go of the hand that was tightly covering Er Yue's red mouth, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had nothing to worry about, of course he would not choose to run away, but now... Zhang Qishan thought about it, and looked down at the person who was unconsciously clinging to his clothes.
"It's okay." He said in a deep voice, and was about to stand up when he felt the tingling pain in his arm.
The left arm had been stabbed with a sword before, and blood was flowing down the hanging arm at this moment.
"You're hurt." Er Yuehong tried her best to maintain her composure, but she didn't know that her voice was trembling unconsciously. "Bandage it first."
He took out a plain white handkerchief, wrapped it tightly around his wound, and tied it up with a knot.
Zhang Qishan watched him finish these actions quietly, looked up at the sky, and frowned slightly.
"The weather is bad, it's probably going to rain, let's find someone to spend the night at first, hurry up."
Not far away, I saw a village in the distance.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the two hurried into the village, found a house, and knocked on the door lightly.
The person who came to open the door was an old woman with gray temples, she understood the purpose of the two people's visit, she nodded kindly with a smile, and led the two people in.
The humble house can finally provide shelter from the wind and rain.Strangely, I didn't see the old woman's children, only a bedridden grandson.
"Old man, your children... went out?"
Er Yuehong asked tentatively.
The old woman paused when she heard the sound, and gave a wry smile: "My sons and daughters, alas... I only have one son, who was a herb picker. He fell off a cliff a few years ago and died..."
Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong had a meal at the same time.Er Yuehong was a little overwhelmed, and quickly apologized guiltily: "Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up."
The old woman smiled and waved her hand: "It's all over, I'm used to it after all these years."
After all, he couldn't help but sigh.
"If you don't mind, the two of you can live in my house tonight. You seem to be from a wealthy family, and you don't know if you can't get used to it."
"How can this be done? Old man..." Zhang Qishan frowned, but was interrupted.
"It's okay, I'll be in the same room with my grandson tonight, so it's convenient to take care of him." The old woman smiled kindly. "You husband and wife, stay in my house."
Hearing the word "husband and wife", Er Yuehong's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot, but it was irrefutable for a while.
The old woman glanced down and was startled when she saw the blood on Zhang Qishan's clothes.
"Ah, young master, are you injured?"
Zhang Qishan put away his sleeves, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing, just a little injury."
"Small injuries need to be taken care of. You young people must have exposed your wealth when you go out, otherwise why would the robbers target you?" The old woman pulled him to sit aside, found a clean cloth and re-wrapped it.
"What the old man said is true." Zhang Qishan responded in a gentle voice. "Thank you, old man."
He raised his eyes, was looking worried at Shang Eryue's red eyes, and smiled softly.
Sure enough, it began to rain heavily before nightfall, and it continued to rain for several hours.
At night, the two lay back to back on the simple bed.It was raining heavily outside the window, and the sound of splashing made the house quiet and speechless.
The grandson of the old woman next door seemed to be very ill, coughing non-stop, and the old woman patted him on the back from time to time to gently coax him to sleep.All the voices passed into the ears of the two without any leakage.
Both of them were so blocked that they couldn't fall asleep, but neither of them spoke first.
After being silent for a while, Er Yuehong turned over and sat up, and said softly, "You go to bed first, I'll come as soon as I go."
He got up and went out, closing the door behind his back.
Zhang Qishan also sat up and sighed silently.
No.15 finished
The author has something to say:
☆, Jasper Ring is in a hurry, and the authorities are obsessed with onlookers
No.16 Returning to Jasper Ring is urgent, and the authorities are obsessed with onlookers
Er Yuehong knocked lightly on the door, and after getting the old lady's response, she pushed open the door and walked into the house.
The old woman's grandson seemed to have just fallen asleep, with a sallow complexion and skinny bones, as if he had been ill for a long time.
Er Yuehong couldn't bear to disturb the poor child any more, so she led the old woman out of the house.
He didn't have any belongings on his body at the moment, only a pair of jade bracelets that he had been wearing all the time.
"Old man," he called softly, slowly took off a green bracelet from his wrist, and stuffed it into her hand. "I didn't bring any silver taels, I only have this. Pawn it for some money and treat the child."
The old woman's home can be described as dilapidated, and it is not difficult to guess why her grandson was delayed in receiving treatment.
Money, for ordinary people, is the most practical issue.
The old woman shook her head again and again, and pushed the bracelet back to him.
"How can this be done! Girl, I can't accept this!"
Hearing her address, Er Yuehong smiled wryly from the bottom of her heart.
"Old man, you can accept it. The child's illness is the most urgent thing, and the child's illness is cured first."
"Well, how can this be done! I have never met the girl, how can I take your things, let alone this kind of treasure?" The old woman shook her head in a panic and refused to accept it.
Although she has never seen any treasures in her life, this bracelet is green and flawless, and it looks like a lot of money.
Er Yuehong smiled faintly and said: "Old man, you are doing us a favor by giving us a place to rest. You are our benefactor, why are you still strangers? I will naturally repay you. Besides, there is no life for the baby important?"
Hearing the last sentence, the old woman paused, and Er Yuehong took the opportunity to stuff the bracelet into her hand.
"Old man, it's us who repay you, can't you?"
The old woman paused, nodded slowly, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, you are a good person! That young master is also a good person! I, I don't know how to thank you..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help wiping away her tears.
Er Yuehong helped her to sit down, seeing this, she felt faintly uncomfortable.
After calming down, the old woman said, "Girl, it's so late, go to bed quickly. Isn't that young master injured? He also needs to rest earlier... Hey, look at me, I'm so confused. Are you husband and wife? ? Then I shouldn't call you 'girl', I should call you 'madam'..."
Hearing the old woman's unintentional words, Er Yuehong felt a sting in her heart, and couldn't help but blurt out.
"I'm not……"
"Huh? Not what?"
Er Yuehong knew she had slipped her words, and quickly changed her words: "I mean, I'm not Madam..." He lowered his eyes.
Seeing the old woman looking at him questioningly, he could only continue to say: "I'm just one of his concubines, how can I be called a wife?"
In fact, this is not entirely a lie.
The old woman was a little surprised when she heard the words: "Concubine? Then this young master must like you very much."
"Why do you say that?" Er Yuehong couldn't help but ask.
The old lady smiled and said: "When a disaster is imminent, such couples fly separately. It is not uncommon to see such a couple. When encountering a robber, who does not care about running for his own life first, but he protects you and escapes, and he was injured because of it. Since it is not married, if it is not I really like you, how can I do this? The authorities are really confused by the onlookers, such a simple truth, the girl doesn't understand?"
Er Yuehong was dumbfounded for a moment, and only faltered: "He..."
"In the face of life and death, you can see people's hearts." The old woman said slowly, smiling kindly. "Girl, although my eyes are dim, I'm not blind. I can see that you like him too. I can't tell the old man whether you love him or hate him, but since you are in love, let's stay together." What does it matter if it is a concubine's room or not?"
"I, I like him?" Er Yuehong couldn't help but question, and then laughed out loud to herself. "How can this be?"
"It's impossible." The old woman said seriously. "Looks don't lie."
eyes?
Touching her right eye with her fingers, Er Yuehong was stunned.
Then the old woman said something to him, but he didn't catch a word.Until the old lady left, he was still sitting at the table alone.
The candlelight on the table was dancing fiercely.
I just feel messed up.
My heart is very chaotic.
