Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant
Chapter 117 The style of Xiaoxiang Garden is full of Qiaolin Valley
The autumn wind blows the willows and the sun sets, and the dew leaves the fragrant grass and swallow mud;
Flying eaves pick Feng Xiaoxiang Garden, and the green screen cloud locks the painting hall in spring.
On the north and south sides of Zhongda Street in Guang'an Town, there are two three-story pavilions that echo each other.The restaurant on the south side, with its painted buildings, is named Xiaoxiangyuan. The owner is from Hunan. The restaurant is famous for its delicious Hunan cuisine. It is called Huatangchun Tea House, where the fragrance of Biluochun tea is wafting for miles. Most of the buildings are decorated with famous calligraphy and paintings, and the atmosphere is elegant. It is the favorite place for scholars to patronize.
The two pavilions are opposite to each other on the street. Scholars in Huatangchunzhong often smell the fragrance of vegetables floating in Xiaoxiang Garden as a companion, and diners in Xiaoxiangyuan enjoy listening to Huatangchunzhong's high-spirited talks.The two complement each other, which makes the business of these two companies flourish, and customers come like clouds.
At three quarters of the day, most of the guests in Xiaoxiang Garden had already left, but Huatangchun Tea House was full of people and it was very lively.People who often hang around the teahouse are all proficient in tasting tea, discussing things, and gossip, so Huatangchun can be said to be the most lively news distribution center in Guang'an Town.If you want to know the major events in the town, you only need to have half-day tea in this teahouse.
No, the three scholars at the table by the window chatted about recent news while drinking tea.
"I heard that a young man who spends a lot of money has come to the town recently. I don't know if you have heard of it."
"Of course I know. The young master's surname is Yun and his name is Junshan. He has a huge family business and is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. He has already spent tens of thousands of taels of silver in Guang'an Town to buy goods in five days. He is really spending money like dirt!"
"Hey, there are not a few rich merchants passing by in Guang'an Town, and this Mr. Yun Junshan is just a merchant. Why are you so caring?"
"Brother, you only know one thing and don't know the other. This Mr. Yun is a distant relative of the Ding Family Village in Mohua Village. He not only has a wealth of money, but also possesses martial arts skills. Among merchants, he can be regarded as a leader."
"Moreover, the most eye-catching thing is that Mr. Yun's appearance can be described as a dragon and a phoenix. He is very handsome. Don't say that a woman is fascinated when she sees it. Even if a man sees it, I'm afraid he will be hooked. soul."
"Oh? Is Mr. Yun really as brother said?"
"Brother, if you don't believe me, wait for a while, this Mr. Yun likes to go to Xiaoxiang Garden to taste the dishes after the end of time, and then you can see Mr. Yun's true face."
"Hahaha, brother, didn't you just stare at Shichen and squat here for a long time?"
"Everyone has the so-called love of beauty!"
A few people were talking with high spirits, when they heard the waiter at Xiaoxiangyuan shop across the street say hello at the top of their voice:
"Master Yun is here! The old rules are waiting for you!"
The students at this table immediately poked their heads out of the window to watch carefully.
And if you observe carefully, the rest of the tea guests also shifted their attention to Xiaoxiang Garden opposite, intentionally or unintentionally.
On a bright autumn day, a tall and tall man appeared at the gate of Xiaoxiang Garden. His snow clothes fluttered like a piece of cloud, which was flawless and dazzling. His blue hair danced lightly and rustled with the wind. Just a back view made people think about it infinitely.
As if aware that someone was watching him, the man turned his head slowly, raised his eyes to look at the Huatangchun Pavilion, showing eyebrows and eyes like jade, the peach blossom eyes are like stars, his thin lips are lightly hooked, and his smile is better than Xinghua.
Looking back, the mountains and rivers are all dark.
Everyone who had never seen Mr. Yun's appearance in Huatang Chunzhong gasped.
As if seeing everyone's amazed eyes, Mr. Yun smiled even more, blinked, turned and entered the shop, went all the way up to the top floor, and sat down by the window.
The waiter hurriedly came forward to greet him, nodded frequently while listening to Mr. Yun's instructions, and returned the side dishes after a while.
The young man in white leaned against the window railing, squinting a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes, turning the teacup leisurely, looking bored, like a white mouse drying its fur in the sun.
Suddenly, as if he saw something, he lazily propped up his body, revealing a smiling face that had no good intentions no matter how you looked at it.
Everyone followed Mr. Yun's gaze, and saw a young man in black dressed as a servant rushing to the street. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dark complexion. He was carrying six wine jars in his hands. One weighed at least ten catties, but this boy was carrying six altars without changing his face, as if he was walking on flat ground.Not long after, he entered Xiaoxiang Garden, rushed to the top floor, and put the six jars of wine on Mr. Yun's table.
Mr. Yun just raised his eyelids and glanced at it, as if he had said something again, but seeing the boy in black staring blankly for a long time, he rushed downstairs angrily, and after a while, he brought two big bags of snacks return.
Mr. Yun glanced at the dim sum, changed his position on the chair, and waved his hand casually.
The black-clothed boy's chest heaved violently, turned around and went downstairs, carried the largest copper pot upstairs, and began to pour tea for Young Master Yun.
Master Yun drank very comfortably, and from time to time ordered the boy in black to wipe the table and the stool for a while, and when the dishes came, he began to order the boy to pick up vegetables, pick fishbone and pour wine...
The crowd who watched Huatangchun were amazed, and all felt that Mr. Yun taught his servants well.
But if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that the veins on the forehead of the black-clothed boy are about to burst, and from time to time, he looks at Huatangchun opposite him with a very resentful gaze.
-
"Fifth Bai has started to torment Ai Hu again..."
In the private room on the third floor of Huatangchun by the window facing "Mr. Yun", Jin Qian expressed his deep sympathy for Ai Hu's sad experience for many days.
Yan Chasan, who was diagonally opposite, and Zhan Zhao, who was next to him, bowed their heads and sipped tea at the same time, while Yu Mo, who was directly opposite, was still performing his surveillance duties with all his eyes.
"Brother Ai, we support you spiritually!" Jin Qian looked at Ai Hu from a distance with a sincere face, raised his fist and said, "Take care!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to the three people at the same table, and said in a fixed voice:
"Looking at the reactions of everyone in Huatangchun today, Mr. Yun's name must have resounded throughout Guang'an Town. It is no loss that Bai Wuye spent 1 taels of snowflakes to make his reputation..."
Speaking of this, Jin Qian suddenly froze, stared narrowly, and said in surprise: "By the way, the 1 taels are not for us to report to the public account!"
"Hey, brother Jin, don't worry." Yan Chasan said slowly, "Brother Bai has hired someone to send the purchased goods back to Dingjiazhuang. After the case is settled, the goods will be sent to Xingkong Island for resale Into the cold north."
"Eh?" Jin Qian was surprised.
"Brother Bai said that the tea and satin bought for 1 taels are top-grade, so if you resell them like this, you will definitely make a small profit." Yan Chasan continued.
Jin Qian stared wide-eyed, stunned for a long while, and then murmured: "I also make money while investigating the case. If this white mouse goes into business, he will definitely become rich. Why bother to go to the rivers and lakes to become a knight? It's a waste Talent!"
Yan Chasan couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, and continued to explain:
"The food and clothing expenses of the five island owners, their families and dozens of servants and guards on the empty island are huge. If there is no way to make money, they may already be unable to make ends meet. Everyone knows that the chinchilla on the empty island is a waste of money. It’s like flowing water, but it does have a vision of making money.”
"So that's it!" Jin Qian stared at the Baiyutang on the opposite pavilion, as if he was looking at a walking gold ingot—no, it should be said that he was looking at a walking silver house.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian, then turned his eyes to Yan Chasan.
Yan Chasan suddenly felt a chill behind him.
"It's just that if the status and name of the Five Rats of Zikong Island were not guaranteed in the Jianghu, the heroes in the Jianghu would not patronize the business of Zikong Island." Zhan Zhao said in a clear voice, "Everyone only sees Zikong The status of the Island Five Rats Jianghu is detached, and the richest side does not know that this reputation, status and wealth are all obtained in exchange for years of licking blood."
"Ugh!" Jin Qian suddenly withdrew his gaze.
This way of making money is too dangerous, you have to tie your head to your waistband all the time and work hard, it's not suitable for us or us!It is more suitable for us to be an honest and stable civil servant in Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhan Zhao picked up the tea bowl and covered his lips slightly.
Yan Chasan only felt the black line on his forehead stand out.
"Here we come!" Yu Mo, who had been in charge of monitoring, suddenly said.
The number of people brightened immediately, and they looked at the gate of Xiaoxiang Garden at the same time.
I saw a hired woman stepping down from a one-wheeled carriage, and stepped towards the threshold with the help of a maid.
Jin Qian squinted his narrow eyes and stared at the woman as she slowly walked up the third floor, and finally chose a seat that was not far from "Mr. Yun" but just enough to look at her from a distance.
"It's her!" After comparing with Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Yu Mo, and Ai Hu's appearance on the roof of the suspect's house a few days ago, Jin Qian is very sure, "It's the Du family girl... no, Now that her surname has been changed to Meng, she should be called Meng Qiulan."
"It took six full days to show up," Yan Chasan breathed out, "This woman is very patient."
Zhan Zhao's face was serious, and he fixedly looked at the two tables sitting opposite each other in Xiaoxiang Garden.
Here, Bai Yutang poured and drank by himself very carefree, while over there, the woman surnamed Meng ate very elegantly.
When the food on the table for the two of them was exhausted, they did not see any communication between Bai Yutang and the woman surnamed Meng.
"What's going on?" Jin Qian asked anxiously, "Did Ai Hu find the wrong suspect?"
"Duan Dao Ai Hu made his debut two years ago, and he gained his fame by capturing important criminals wanted by the government. He is well-known in the world." Zhan Zhao frowned, "Wait a minute."
"That's right, it's all said in the case that this woman always uses bandits and murderers to rob and set up traps every time to attract targets." Yan Chasan said solemnly, "At this time, the woman has not made a move yet, brother Bai should not act rashly."
"Bandits, thieves robbing?" Jin Qian scratched his ears and cheeks, "How can there be any robbers in this city in broad daylight!" Looking at the building opposite, the woman surnamed Meng and Bai Yutang are in peace. After the meal, he began to count the money and pay the bill. Jin Qian was even more anxious, and turned his eyes carefully, "Why don't we cover our faces and rush over to act out a scene of robbing a woman from a good family for the sake of sex, so that the hero Bai Wuye can save the beauty How about playing it?"
Yan Chasan, Zhan Zhao, and Yu Mo looked at Jin Qian at the same time, and the six eyes were burning like lightning.
Jin Qian shuddered and lowered his head: "We are just suggesting a feasible plan..."
While speaking, the woman surnamed Meng had already stepped out of Xiaoxiang Garden and stepped into the carriage.
"Is it just to explore the way today?" Yan Chasan asked doubtfully.
Before the words fell, a sudden change occurred.
He heard a sad horse neighing from downstairs, and then saw the horse of the woman surnamed Meng pulling the carriage madly away like crazy.
"The horse is startled!" The servant girl who hadn't gotten into the carriage chased after the carriage and cried, "Miss! Miss!"
The next moment, a white shadow followed the carriage like light and electricity.
"Yu Mo protects the lord! Jin Qian, let's go!" Zhan Zhao jumped up and stepped out.
"Tsk! So it's an old-fashioned way of using startling horses!" Jin Qian rolled his eyes and complained, and disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time as Zhan Zhao.
-
On the densely populated street, an out-of-control carriage ran wildly, knocking over the street stalls and setting off groceries, vegetables and fruits. For a while, horse neighing, screaming, cursing, and crying sounded one after another, and the chaos was very chaotic.
Suddenly, from the back of the carriage came a white figure, like a dragon, as fast as lightning, turned around and flew straight to sit on the back of the frightened horse, flicked his sleeves, and pulled the reins fiercely.
The crazy horse neighed, and raised its front hooves high.
Under the blue sky, dazzling snow-colored robes fly across the sky, flashing brilliantly.
Fresh clothes and angry horses, gorgeous and beautiful.
When Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian arrived, what they saw was Bai Yutang's domineering appearance and the onlookers who had already been fascinated.
The subsequent development of the plot is cliché and smooth sailing.
The handsome and golden man in white subdued the frightened horse and rescued the beautiful lady in the carriage.
When the pear-blossoming and rainy lady raised the curtain of the car, and the noble young man who was facing the wind stretched out his hand and held out the lady's slender hand, the moment they looked at each other was like a dream, with embarrassing eyes, three lives and three generations, stay together ten thousand years.
Peach blossoms fly to the pistils, scattered with tender red; mandarin ducks are clustered with red flowers, and spring follows people's wishes.
Jin Qian seemed to see the beautiful scene of "Peach petals flying, mandarin ducks swimming together" appeared behind the two, and the theme song of an old TV series began to echo in his mind:
Ah~~, one is a handsome young man, and the other is a gentle and beautiful girl~~~
Gee!
Bai Wuye is indeed a good hand at hooking up women, look at the seductive little eyes, look at the ecstasy smiling face, look at the small gestures that seem to refuse and greet, ouch, I just hooked this love at first sight, Feiqing does not marry Tianlei. The atmosphere of the ground fire is vividly interpreted!
In contrast——
Jin Qian moved his eyes to Meng Qiulan.
En——it was obvious that Bai Yutang's beauty made her a little distracted, and she didn't return to normal until the servant girl and Ai Hu chased her over.
and……
Jin Qian's eyes turned around on Meng Qiulan's apricot-eyed and cherry-lipped face, and then on the radiant and glamorous Bai Yutang's face, sighing and muttering:
"In terms of beauty, Bai Wuye is at a disadvantage!"
"Jin Qian!" A heavy shout interrupted Jin Qian's emotion.
Jin Qian turned his head and saw Zhan Zhao staring at him with a calm and handsome face.
Why do you suddenly feel a little hairy on your back?
"Not yet!" Zhan Zhao paused and walked away.
"Eh?" Jin Qian turned his head, only to find that Bai Yutang had gone along with Meng Qiulan's carriage after several refusals to no avail.
Zhan and Jin followed all the way, and finally found that Bai Yutang and Ai Hu were welcomed into the gate of "Meng Mansion" as honored guests.
"Wow, fifth master Bai made a decisive move, and the progress is too fast!" Jin Qian squatted in the corner and stared at the gradually closing door of the Meng Mansion, full of emotion.
"Jinqian," Zhan Zhao's voice sounded, "Go back to the inn."
"Eh?" Jin Qian suddenly stood up, looking at Zhan Zhao with a surprised face, "Master Zhan, why don't we stay here for a while?"
"It's getting late, I have to go back and report to Lord Yan." Zhan Zhao frowned and glanced at Jin Qian, "What's the use of staying here?"
Cat you are not!Your sweetheart, White Mouse, is in danger alone at this time. In such a dangerous situation, you actually want to stand by and watch? !
"No... that..." Jin Qian blinked, "Isn't it a bit dangerous to keep Bai Wuye and Ai Hu here..."
Zhan Zhao's black eyes flashed, and the cold light flashed: "Bai Yutang is highly skilled in martial arts, and Ai Hu is superb in martial arts. Together, these two people are rarely rivals in the Jianghu. What's more, the whole Meng family has not found any danger of people with martial arts skills." ?”
"We are afraid that bad people will have evil intentions when they see Bai Wuye's beauty..." Under Zhan Zhao's increasingly fierce aura, Jin Qian's voice became smaller and smaller.
Hey, did you make a mistake, we are worried about your white mouse...
"Lieutenant Jin is worried about Bai Yutang?" Zhan Zhao's voice suddenly dropped below zero.
Jin Qian trembled, his mind suddenly cleared up, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Oh!Could it be that our performance made Master Mao mistakenly think that we have plans for White Mouse, so—— Master Mao is jealous again? !
"No, no, my subordinates naturally didn't worry Mr. Zhan..."
Zhan Zhao's eyes flashed, and he took a sudden step forward. The straight blue shadow was only half a foot away from the thin gray shadow, and his clean chin was only an inch away from Jinqian's forehead.
Jin Qian only felt the faint fragrance of green grass, like silk and mist, wrapped around his body instantly, and immediately became stiff.
"Jin Qian..."
Zhan Zhao's breath brushed over Jin Qian's ears, causing goosebumps on Jin Qian's back:
"After returning to the inn..."
Jin Qian shook.
"Squat for an hour!"
No!
Jin Qian complained endlessly: The cat's emotional changes in love are too weird!
-
Lingling frost clouds wait for the autumn wind, night birds sing and fly to Inoue Tong;
In the Qing Dynasty, dew, smoke and trees are silent, and the moon wheel moves in Shangyang Palace.
After returning to the inn and squatting for an hour, Jin Qian, who was pressured by a certain imperial guard, performed two sets of punches. Mr. Chasan waited eagerly in the Tianzi room until it was almost Haishi, and then he looked forward to the belated return of Bai Yutang's Ai Hu.
"Hurry up, hurry up, do you have anything to eat? Hurry up and bring it to Fifth Lord." As soon as Bai Yutang entered the room, he kept yelling like a starving ghost reincarnated, "Fifth Lord, I'm going to starve to death!"
"What? The Meng family is so stingy. They invited Brother Bai, the savior, to visit their house, and they didn't even give him any food?" Jin Qiandian brought two leftovers and a plate of steamed buns from the kitchen and put them in front of Bai Yutang. On the table, surprised.
"The preparations are rich, there are ten dishes and three soups!" Ai Hu said with a puzzled face, "I'm full."
"You are delicious, but I can't eat it, Fifth Master!" Bai Yutang wolfed down the leftovers, rolled his eyes and said, "Then what Miss Meng, she is obviously a flirtatious person, why do you want to be reserved like a lady? Luckily, I was sitting opposite Fifth Master and me, flirting with Fifth Master all night, Fifth Master and I were about to spit out sour water, how could I still have the appetite to eat?!"
Ai Hu laughed dryly.
"Brother Bai has worked hard." Yan Cha asked in relief.
"Brother Bai went to cast stones to ask for directions, but what clues did he find?" Zhan Zhao coughed lightly and asked slowly.
Bai Yutang took a sip of water, "The woman's father is named Meng Huashu, and his age should be about 50 years old. He claims to have been widowed for many years. His family has been in the silk business for generations. There are several silk shops in Guang'an Town, and the family has a big business; the woman Her surname is Meng and her name is Qiulan. She is seventeen years old and has not yet married."
"Why does it sound like what a matchmaker said when she was a matchmaker?" Jin Qian whispered.
"So, Brother Bai didn't find anything suspicious about the father and daughter." Zhan Zhao asked.
"If you're talking about something suspicious—" Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "The father and daughter seem to be a little too diligent, and they have the illusion that they can't wait to marry their daughter to me."
"That's true!" Ai Hu said gloatingly, "You didn't see the appearance of the father and daughter seeing Brother Bai, it's like a wild wolf seeing meat. Strip off Brother Bai and wash it, and pack Meng Qiulan to Brother Bai's bed!"
"Cough, cough—" Bai Yutang choked on a mouthful of steamed buns, and glared at Ai Hu, "Stinky boy, shut up for Fifth Master!"
"Cut!" Ai Hu crossed his arms, with a fearless expression on his face, "Now I'm not your servant, I can say whatever I want, you don't care!"
"Fifth Master Bai is really charming!" Jin Qian said with emotion.
"In that case, we will use our plan." Yan Chasan thought for a while and said, "Brother Bai, you should try your best to deal with that Meng Qiulan, pretend to be in love with her, and when the time is right, come to propose marriage. If it is as expected, wait for the marriage For sure, the father and daughter will find an opportunity to borrow money from Brother Bai, and then they will show their feet!"
"Do you need to say that?" Bai Yutang said confidently, "Fifth Master has already made an appointment with Miss Meng to go to the suburbs to enjoy autumn leaves tomorrow."
"That's very good." Yan Chasan nodded and said, "Brother Bai and Brother Ai will accompany Meng Qiulan on a trip to the countryside tomorrow, and Zhan Huwei and Captain Jin will continue to cooperate." Yan Chasan paused, "Yan will be there tomorrow morning Just a letter from Yumo to the local county magistrate, ordering him to fully cooperate in handling the case strictly."
"Your Majesty Yan needs to act in secret during this trip. If so, won't you expose your whereabouts?" Zhan Zhao worried.
"Yan didn't show up, he only used letters as a reminder, it's okay." Yan Chasan replied.
The crowd nodded.
Yan Chasan looked around at the crowd, cupped his hands and said, "The four of you will have to work hard tomorrow."
"The responsibilities of the subordinates." Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian clasped their fists together.
"Wrap it on Bai Wuye." Bai Yutang chuckled.
"No problem." Ai Hu patted his chest.
After everyone discussed it properly, they bid farewell to Yan Chasan and went back to the house to rest.
After everyone left, Yan Chasan turned back and sat in front of the case, read through the serial fraud case files one by one again, got up and opened the window sash, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"It's obviously progressing quite smoothly, why do I always feel a little uneasy..."
-
The dew is scattered and the autumn smoke rises, the blue sky is cloudless,
The maple fragrance is like snow, and the woods are Xiao Xiaoshuang.
In the outskirts of Guang'an Town, three miles away, between two hills, there is a valley called Qiaolin Valley. In the valley, there are continuous layers of maple trees, and the scenery is beautiful. In autumn, the red maple is better than the spring flowers, and the fallen leaves are like rain, which is so beautiful.It is indeed a resort for single men and women to meet.
Just after the time passed, four men and women came to Qiaolin Valley. There were two people walking forward, one was a handsome young man in white clothes, and the other was a gentle and beautiful rich lady. .It was Bai Yutang, Ai Hu, and Meng Qiulan, master and servant.
"Mr. Yun, look at the picturesque maple forest. Qiulan is not talented. I suddenly thought of two lines of poems. I would like to ask Mr. Yun to comment on them." Meng Qiulan looked at the handsome young man in front of her with affection, and her voice was like a weeping.
"Yun is all ears." Bai Yutang, who was pretending to be Mr. Yun, waved his fan and smiled coquettishly.
"Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the frost leaves are as red as the flowers in February." Meng Qiulan bowed her head.
"puff!"
A strange sound came out.
Meng Qiulan raised her head suddenly, looked around, and asked in surprise, "What's the sound?"
"Cough, I'm afraid the wild cats in the mountains don't know how to be elegant and bark like crazy!" Bai Yutang covered the twitching corners of his mouth with the handle of his fan, and coughed perfunctorily.
"Wild cat?" Meng Qiulan's apricot eyes widened, "Is that what a wild cat calls?"
"Cough, or a weird wild cat." Bai Yutang glanced at the dense forest and weeds behind him with the corner of his eye, and changed the subject, "These two lines of Miss Meng's poem are very good, very suitable for the occasion, and Yun also got two lines by chance. , Miss Meng please appreciate it."
Then, he stopped, turned around and spread his fan, his handsome face was shining under the sunshine through the leaves, "One mountain, two mountains, the mountains are far away, the sky is high, the water is cold, and the lovesick maple leaves are blooming. The geese are flying high and the people have not yet returned, and the wind and the moon are idle."
"It's "Long Lovesickness" by Empress Li Li Yu—" Meng Qiulan said softly.
Bai Yutang turned around, with clear waves in his peach blossom eyes, fixedly looking at Meng Qiulan, his voice was soft like water, "Although Yun feels that the artistic conception of this poem is a bit bleak, but the name of the poem is wonderful, just like Yun's state of mind at this time."
"Sauvignon Blanc..." Meng Qiulan raised her eyes, looking at Bai Yutang affectionately.
Bai Yutang turned around, his eyes full of affection.
"puff!"
Another strange sound came from the weeds in the maple forest behind him.
Meng Qiulan and Bai Yutang froze at the same time.
"Master Yun, this is probably not a wild cat—" Meng Qiulan looked at Bai Yutang with a startled expression.
"Hey!" Bai Yutang glared at Ai Hu, "Go and see!"
"I didn't hear anything." Ai Hu said honestly.
The corners of Bai Yutang's eyes twitched, and he picked up a stone with his toes and kicked it into the weeds: "It must be a stinky cat who doesn't understand its style, it must be hateful."
The stone flew into the grass with a "whoosh", but after waiting for a long time, there was no sound of landing.
On the contrary, a moderately cold wind suddenly swirled in the woods, making everyone feel chilly.
"Ah!" Meng Qiulan sneezed unconsciously.
"Tsk!" Bai Yutang glared at the weeds, turned around and smiled at Meng Qiulan, and said, "Miss Meng, Yun saw a gazebo ahead, why don't I go and rest for a while?"
"Okay." Meng Qiulan nodded repeatedly.
The two walked shoulder to shoulder, the maid shivered and hurriedly followed, Ai Hu, who was at the end of the line, looked back at the weeds, grinned, and chased after her.
The four walked like the wind, and they left a few feet away in a short time.
And in the weeds that Bai Yutang kicked into the stone just now, a head suddenly popped up. It was full of grass, the hair was disheveled, and a pair of thin eyes sparkled.
"Jin Qian—" A sigh came from behind, but Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in blue, appeared from behind the tree, looked at Jin Qian helplessly, and threw the stone in his hand to the ground. The stone kicked in by Bai Yutang.
"Hey, Mr. Zhan, this subordinate listened to the poems of Miss Meng and Bai Wuye very well, and I admired them in my heart. I couldn't hold back for a while and then praised twice..." Jin Qian laughed dryly, but secretly said in his heart:
Tsk tsk, the lines of Baimozi and Meng Qiulan can almost be selected as the most sour lines of the year.
"Master Zhan, Bai Wuye and the others are gone, let's hurry up." Jin Qian looked eager to try.
"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded.
Jin Qian's narrow eyes lit up, and he was about to run out in the posture of a senior thief. Suddenly, with the scent of green grass approaching, Jin Qian felt his waist tighten, and the things in front of his eyes flew away. With the imperial guards in their arms, they galloped out on the forest blades.
Eh?No, that, what's going on...
Before Jin Qian came back to his senses, Zhan Zhao had already sat down among the branches of a maple tree around him, and directly below was the gazebo where Bai Yutang and the others rested.
But Jinqian has no time to care about how Bai Yutang is flirting with Meng Qiulan. At this moment, Jinqian focuses all his attention on his back.
The warm breath blew the hair on his neck, scratched and touched Jin Qian's sensitive nerves behind his ears, Jin Qian only felt that every time Zhan Zhao took a breath, the hairs on his back stood on end.
"Master Zhan, Master Zhan..." Jin Qian squeezed out a voice like the Loess Plateau where it didn't rain in March.
"Don't move, this tree is not very strong." Zhan Zhao's steady voice rang in Jin Qian's ear.
Jin Qian's whole body was stiff, and his thin eyes moved to the branches under his butt one by one...
Sure enough, the slender one was obviously malnourished, and now bearing the weight of the two of them, it already made a "cracking" sound of dying struggle.
Slender eyes slowly moved sideways, looking around——
Hey, there is a maple tree with thick branches and wide branches less than half a foot away. Why do you have to live on this small branch of bean sprouts, Mrs. Mao?
"Master Zhan, why don't we change the tree..."
"This place is the closest to the gazebo, so it's convenient to explore." Zhan Zhao's reason was very good.
"..."
What is this sense of disobedience of being deceived by seriousness? !
A drop of cold sweat trickled down the tip of Jin Qian's nose.
Just at the time when Jinqian was on ice and fire, in the gazebo, Bai Yutang and Meng Qiulan had already begun to stage the Qiong Yao palace-level drama of you reluctantly leaving you and me.
"Miss Meng, to be honest, Yun's affairs in Guang'an Town have been settled, and within seven days, he will make his way back to Xihang." Bai Yutang looked at Meng Qiulan quietly, and said a little sadly.
"Ah?!" Meng Qiulan was surprised, she covered her lips with a silk handkerchief, and her apricot eyes were full of water, "Mr. Yun is leaving... I don't know when I can enjoy the scenery and sing poems with Qiulan again?"
"Yun—" Bai Yutang frowned lightly, shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet Miss Meng again when I return home this time."
"Why, why?"
"My father sent a letter from home the day before yesterday, saying that after Yun returned home, he would arrange for Yun to marry a well-matched woman..."
Meng Qiulan's eyes widened, and when two crystal clear tears slid down her peach cheeks, she lowered her head and choked with sobs, "Then, that Qiulan congratulates Mr. Yun first!"
"But Yun doesn't want to marry a stranger!" Bai Yutang suddenly raised his voice, his peach eyes filled with passion and firmness, "Yun came to Guang'an Town and decided to accompany Yun People for life!"
Meng Qiulan raised her head slowly, her eyes glistened with water, her slender hands tightly twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand.
"Qiu Lan——" Bai Yutang changed the name, and his handsome face was a little closer to Meng Qiulan, "Would you like to marry Yun?"
Meng Qiulan's pretty face immediately flushed red, and against the tearful eyes, she was truly glamorous.
"Marriage matters, parents' order, matchmaker's words, Qiulan, Qiulan dare not be alone..."
"As long as Qiulan nods, Yun will go to the Meng Mansion to propose marriage tomorrow!" Bai Yutang said with a sincere expression, "Yun only asks Qiulan's heart!"
Meng Qiulan burst into a sweet smile, bowed her head shyly and said: "Qiulan's heart for Yunlang will never change until death, and she is willing to live and die with Yunlang..."
Bai Yutang showed an overjoyed expression at the right time.
"Qiulan~~"
"Yunlang~~"
The two looked at each other with deep affection and tenderness. The servant girl quietly wiped away the tears of excitement while watching, and Ai Hu, the servant who had long been hiding outside the gazebo, desperately choked back the last night's meal that was about to be vomited.
The passionate performance of the two finally won the attention of the tree-stalking duo.
Jin Qian looked at the two talented scholars and beauties in the gazebo, but felt that the corners of the mouth, the skin, the stomach, gallbladder, liver and spleen, and the hairs on the back were violently twitching six times per second.
What a god on the forehead, the white mouse can speak such sour lines without changing his face and heartbeat, and his expressions, movements and eyes are so well coordinated, it is really the strength of a superstar!
Jin Qian was so grateful in his heart that he unconsciously uttered a sentence: "Fifth Bai..."
"Captain Jin seems to be very worried about Brother Bai?"
The person behind suddenly said something gloomy.
Jin Qian only felt the cold air lingering around his body, and couldn't help shivering.
Now!at this time!here!We dare to bet, this cat must have seen us stalking the white mice too closely these days, so he overturned the jar of jealousy!
If it doesn't work, let it go on, we will have a mouth and we can't tell.
Resolute!absolute!We want to kill this misunderstanding in the cradle, we must make it clear to the cat today that we are absolutely pure friends with the white mouse, we have absolutely no improper intentions towards the white mouse, and we have absolutely never competed with the cat for the white mouse thoughts!
Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind, made up his mind, turned his head suddenly, his narrow eyes widened, but the moment he saw the person behind him, all his heartfelt confession turned into a fart, and disappeared...
The warm sunlight shines on Zhan Zhao's handsome face through the red leaves, making his eyebrows look smooth, his skin moist like jade, his long curved eyelashes seem to be coated with a layer of golden light, trembling and seductive, his black eyes are like water, Clear and quiet, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and the water is shiny and moist.
Gudong!
Jin Qian felt that the sound of swallowing his saliva was surprisingly loud.
"Jin Qian," Zhan Zhao fixed his gaze on the person in front of him, "What do you want to say?"
"We..." Jin Qian felt as if a pot of mud had been stirred up in his head, his throat was tight, his mouth was dry, he licked his lips unconsciously, and murmured, "Master Zhan, are you Jealous..."
After catching a glimpse of Jin Qian's movements, the clear black eyes suddenly darkened and bottomless, and his breathing suddenly became hot.
"Jealous..." Qinglang's voice was slightly hoarse, "Zhan...has never been jealous..."
With every word that is like talking in a dream, the breath of green grass and light fragrance gets closer to Jin Qian.
Jin Qian stared blankly at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer to him, but his eyes were fixed on the moist thin lips. There was a rumbling sound in his head, and there was a small demonic voice whispering brokenly:
I really want to take a bite...
"Crack it!"
A small soft sound broke the charming atmosphere.
Zhan Zhao's dark eyes flashed, and then became clear again. He straightened up suddenly, and closed his eyes fiercely.
Clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles made a "click" sound, which was exactly the same as the sound just now.
"Cough, Jinqian, Shicai, Zhan just wanted to hear what Brother Bai said in the Qingliang Pavilion..." Zhan Zhaoqiang suppressed some inappropriate thoughts, his ears were slightly red, his eyes drifted, and he tried to explain.
But the voice fell for a while, and there was no answer from someone who usually answered every call.
"Jin Qian?" Zhan Zhao felt that something was wrong, and his black eyes moved to a certain captain.
Seeing this, he was startled.
I saw Jin Qian's thin eyes were wide open, his pupils were slack, and his complexion was pale, as if he had been frightened by something.
"Jin Qian!" Zhan Zhao lowered his voice, reached out and grabbed Jin Qian's wrist, and said anxiously, "What's wrong with you?!"
"Ah? Ah!" Jin Qian suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at Zhan Zhao carefully, moved away in a panic, and said in a trembling voice, "Subordinate, I'm fine." After a pause, he turned his head and glanced at the pavilion again, "Bai Wu Lord, when did they leave? Master Zhan, let's hurry up and follow!"
As he said that, he suddenly pulled his wrist from Zhan Zhao's hand, jumped under the tree with his crappy light work, and ran away in a hurry.
Zhan Zhao glanced at his empty palm, sighed softly, and chased after him.
Along the way, Zhan Zhao approached Jinqian, and Jinqian jumped out of the distance as if he was facing an enemy.
The result was that Zhan Zhao frowned more and more tightly, and the cold air on his body became heavier and heavier. The victim, Miss Meng, the maid, and Ai Hu kept sneezing, and Bai Yutang became irritable several times and almost broke his merits.
Flying eaves pick Feng Xiaoxiang Garden, and the green screen cloud locks the painting hall in spring.
On the north and south sides of Zhongda Street in Guang'an Town, there are two three-story pavilions that echo each other.The restaurant on the south side, with its painted buildings, is named Xiaoxiangyuan. The owner is from Hunan. The restaurant is famous for its delicious Hunan cuisine. It is called Huatangchun Tea House, where the fragrance of Biluochun tea is wafting for miles. Most of the buildings are decorated with famous calligraphy and paintings, and the atmosphere is elegant. It is the favorite place for scholars to patronize.
The two pavilions are opposite to each other on the street. Scholars in Huatangchunzhong often smell the fragrance of vegetables floating in Xiaoxiang Garden as a companion, and diners in Xiaoxiangyuan enjoy listening to Huatangchunzhong's high-spirited talks.The two complement each other, which makes the business of these two companies flourish, and customers come like clouds.
At three quarters of the day, most of the guests in Xiaoxiang Garden had already left, but Huatangchun Tea House was full of people and it was very lively.People who often hang around the teahouse are all proficient in tasting tea, discussing things, and gossip, so Huatangchun can be said to be the most lively news distribution center in Guang'an Town.If you want to know the major events in the town, you only need to have half-day tea in this teahouse.
No, the three scholars at the table by the window chatted about recent news while drinking tea.
"I heard that a young man who spends a lot of money has come to the town recently. I don't know if you have heard of it."
"Of course I know. The young master's surname is Yun and his name is Junshan. He has a huge family business and is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. He has already spent tens of thousands of taels of silver in Guang'an Town to buy goods in five days. He is really spending money like dirt!"
"Hey, there are not a few rich merchants passing by in Guang'an Town, and this Mr. Yun Junshan is just a merchant. Why are you so caring?"
"Brother, you only know one thing and don't know the other. This Mr. Yun is a distant relative of the Ding Family Village in Mohua Village. He not only has a wealth of money, but also possesses martial arts skills. Among merchants, he can be regarded as a leader."
"Moreover, the most eye-catching thing is that Mr. Yun's appearance can be described as a dragon and a phoenix. He is very handsome. Don't say that a woman is fascinated when she sees it. Even if a man sees it, I'm afraid he will be hooked. soul."
"Oh? Is Mr. Yun really as brother said?"
"Brother, if you don't believe me, wait for a while, this Mr. Yun likes to go to Xiaoxiang Garden to taste the dishes after the end of time, and then you can see Mr. Yun's true face."
"Hahaha, brother, didn't you just stare at Shichen and squat here for a long time?"
"Everyone has the so-called love of beauty!"
A few people were talking with high spirits, when they heard the waiter at Xiaoxiangyuan shop across the street say hello at the top of their voice:
"Master Yun is here! The old rules are waiting for you!"
The students at this table immediately poked their heads out of the window to watch carefully.
And if you observe carefully, the rest of the tea guests also shifted their attention to Xiaoxiang Garden opposite, intentionally or unintentionally.
On a bright autumn day, a tall and tall man appeared at the gate of Xiaoxiang Garden. His snow clothes fluttered like a piece of cloud, which was flawless and dazzling. His blue hair danced lightly and rustled with the wind. Just a back view made people think about it infinitely.
As if aware that someone was watching him, the man turned his head slowly, raised his eyes to look at the Huatangchun Pavilion, showing eyebrows and eyes like jade, the peach blossom eyes are like stars, his thin lips are lightly hooked, and his smile is better than Xinghua.
Looking back, the mountains and rivers are all dark.
Everyone who had never seen Mr. Yun's appearance in Huatang Chunzhong gasped.
As if seeing everyone's amazed eyes, Mr. Yun smiled even more, blinked, turned and entered the shop, went all the way up to the top floor, and sat down by the window.
The waiter hurriedly came forward to greet him, nodded frequently while listening to Mr. Yun's instructions, and returned the side dishes after a while.
The young man in white leaned against the window railing, squinting a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes, turning the teacup leisurely, looking bored, like a white mouse drying its fur in the sun.
Suddenly, as if he saw something, he lazily propped up his body, revealing a smiling face that had no good intentions no matter how you looked at it.
Everyone followed Mr. Yun's gaze, and saw a young man in black dressed as a servant rushing to the street. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dark complexion. He was carrying six wine jars in his hands. One weighed at least ten catties, but this boy was carrying six altars without changing his face, as if he was walking on flat ground.Not long after, he entered Xiaoxiang Garden, rushed to the top floor, and put the six jars of wine on Mr. Yun's table.
Mr. Yun just raised his eyelids and glanced at it, as if he had said something again, but seeing the boy in black staring blankly for a long time, he rushed downstairs angrily, and after a while, he brought two big bags of snacks return.
Mr. Yun glanced at the dim sum, changed his position on the chair, and waved his hand casually.
The black-clothed boy's chest heaved violently, turned around and went downstairs, carried the largest copper pot upstairs, and began to pour tea for Young Master Yun.
Master Yun drank very comfortably, and from time to time ordered the boy in black to wipe the table and the stool for a while, and when the dishes came, he began to order the boy to pick up vegetables, pick fishbone and pour wine...
The crowd who watched Huatangchun were amazed, and all felt that Mr. Yun taught his servants well.
But if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that the veins on the forehead of the black-clothed boy are about to burst, and from time to time, he looks at Huatangchun opposite him with a very resentful gaze.
-
"Fifth Bai has started to torment Ai Hu again..."
In the private room on the third floor of Huatangchun by the window facing "Mr. Yun", Jin Qian expressed his deep sympathy for Ai Hu's sad experience for many days.
Yan Chasan, who was diagonally opposite, and Zhan Zhao, who was next to him, bowed their heads and sipped tea at the same time, while Yu Mo, who was directly opposite, was still performing his surveillance duties with all his eyes.
"Brother Ai, we support you spiritually!" Jin Qian looked at Ai Hu from a distance with a sincere face, raised his fist and said, "Take care!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to the three people at the same table, and said in a fixed voice:
"Looking at the reactions of everyone in Huatangchun today, Mr. Yun's name must have resounded throughout Guang'an Town. It is no loss that Bai Wuye spent 1 taels of snowflakes to make his reputation..."
Speaking of this, Jin Qian suddenly froze, stared narrowly, and said in surprise: "By the way, the 1 taels are not for us to report to the public account!"
"Hey, brother Jin, don't worry." Yan Chasan said slowly, "Brother Bai has hired someone to send the purchased goods back to Dingjiazhuang. After the case is settled, the goods will be sent to Xingkong Island for resale Into the cold north."
"Eh?" Jin Qian was surprised.
"Brother Bai said that the tea and satin bought for 1 taels are top-grade, so if you resell them like this, you will definitely make a small profit." Yan Chasan continued.
Jin Qian stared wide-eyed, stunned for a long while, and then murmured: "I also make money while investigating the case. If this white mouse goes into business, he will definitely become rich. Why bother to go to the rivers and lakes to become a knight? It's a waste Talent!"
Yan Chasan couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, and continued to explain:
"The food and clothing expenses of the five island owners, their families and dozens of servants and guards on the empty island are huge. If there is no way to make money, they may already be unable to make ends meet. Everyone knows that the chinchilla on the empty island is a waste of money. It’s like flowing water, but it does have a vision of making money.”
"So that's it!" Jin Qian stared at the Baiyutang on the opposite pavilion, as if he was looking at a walking gold ingot—no, it should be said that he was looking at a walking silver house.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian, then turned his eyes to Yan Chasan.
Yan Chasan suddenly felt a chill behind him.
"It's just that if the status and name of the Five Rats of Zikong Island were not guaranteed in the Jianghu, the heroes in the Jianghu would not patronize the business of Zikong Island." Zhan Zhao said in a clear voice, "Everyone only sees Zikong The status of the Island Five Rats Jianghu is detached, and the richest side does not know that this reputation, status and wealth are all obtained in exchange for years of licking blood."
"Ugh!" Jin Qian suddenly withdrew his gaze.
This way of making money is too dangerous, you have to tie your head to your waistband all the time and work hard, it's not suitable for us or us!It is more suitable for us to be an honest and stable civil servant in Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhan Zhao picked up the tea bowl and covered his lips slightly.
Yan Chasan only felt the black line on his forehead stand out.
"Here we come!" Yu Mo, who had been in charge of monitoring, suddenly said.
The number of people brightened immediately, and they looked at the gate of Xiaoxiang Garden at the same time.
I saw a hired woman stepping down from a one-wheeled carriage, and stepped towards the threshold with the help of a maid.
Jin Qian squinted his narrow eyes and stared at the woman as she slowly walked up the third floor, and finally chose a seat that was not far from "Mr. Yun" but just enough to look at her from a distance.
"It's her!" After comparing with Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Yu Mo, and Ai Hu's appearance on the roof of the suspect's house a few days ago, Jin Qian is very sure, "It's the Du family girl... no, Now that her surname has been changed to Meng, she should be called Meng Qiulan."
"It took six full days to show up," Yan Chasan breathed out, "This woman is very patient."
Zhan Zhao's face was serious, and he fixedly looked at the two tables sitting opposite each other in Xiaoxiang Garden.
Here, Bai Yutang poured and drank by himself very carefree, while over there, the woman surnamed Meng ate very elegantly.
When the food on the table for the two of them was exhausted, they did not see any communication between Bai Yutang and the woman surnamed Meng.
"What's going on?" Jin Qian asked anxiously, "Did Ai Hu find the wrong suspect?"
"Duan Dao Ai Hu made his debut two years ago, and he gained his fame by capturing important criminals wanted by the government. He is well-known in the world." Zhan Zhao frowned, "Wait a minute."
"That's right, it's all said in the case that this woman always uses bandits and murderers to rob and set up traps every time to attract targets." Yan Chasan said solemnly, "At this time, the woman has not made a move yet, brother Bai should not act rashly."
"Bandits, thieves robbing?" Jin Qian scratched his ears and cheeks, "How can there be any robbers in this city in broad daylight!" Looking at the building opposite, the woman surnamed Meng and Bai Yutang are in peace. After the meal, he began to count the money and pay the bill. Jin Qian was even more anxious, and turned his eyes carefully, "Why don't we cover our faces and rush over to act out a scene of robbing a woman from a good family for the sake of sex, so that the hero Bai Wuye can save the beauty How about playing it?"
Yan Chasan, Zhan Zhao, and Yu Mo looked at Jin Qian at the same time, and the six eyes were burning like lightning.
Jin Qian shuddered and lowered his head: "We are just suggesting a feasible plan..."
While speaking, the woman surnamed Meng had already stepped out of Xiaoxiang Garden and stepped into the carriage.
"Is it just to explore the way today?" Yan Chasan asked doubtfully.
Before the words fell, a sudden change occurred.
He heard a sad horse neighing from downstairs, and then saw the horse of the woman surnamed Meng pulling the carriage madly away like crazy.
"The horse is startled!" The servant girl who hadn't gotten into the carriage chased after the carriage and cried, "Miss! Miss!"
The next moment, a white shadow followed the carriage like light and electricity.
"Yu Mo protects the lord! Jin Qian, let's go!" Zhan Zhao jumped up and stepped out.
"Tsk! So it's an old-fashioned way of using startling horses!" Jin Qian rolled his eyes and complained, and disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time as Zhan Zhao.
-
On the densely populated street, an out-of-control carriage ran wildly, knocking over the street stalls and setting off groceries, vegetables and fruits. For a while, horse neighing, screaming, cursing, and crying sounded one after another, and the chaos was very chaotic.
Suddenly, from the back of the carriage came a white figure, like a dragon, as fast as lightning, turned around and flew straight to sit on the back of the frightened horse, flicked his sleeves, and pulled the reins fiercely.
The crazy horse neighed, and raised its front hooves high.
Under the blue sky, dazzling snow-colored robes fly across the sky, flashing brilliantly.
Fresh clothes and angry horses, gorgeous and beautiful.
When Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian arrived, what they saw was Bai Yutang's domineering appearance and the onlookers who had already been fascinated.
The subsequent development of the plot is cliché and smooth sailing.
The handsome and golden man in white subdued the frightened horse and rescued the beautiful lady in the carriage.
When the pear-blossoming and rainy lady raised the curtain of the car, and the noble young man who was facing the wind stretched out his hand and held out the lady's slender hand, the moment they looked at each other was like a dream, with embarrassing eyes, three lives and three generations, stay together ten thousand years.
Peach blossoms fly to the pistils, scattered with tender red; mandarin ducks are clustered with red flowers, and spring follows people's wishes.
Jin Qian seemed to see the beautiful scene of "Peach petals flying, mandarin ducks swimming together" appeared behind the two, and the theme song of an old TV series began to echo in his mind:
Ah~~, one is a handsome young man, and the other is a gentle and beautiful girl~~~
Gee!
Bai Wuye is indeed a good hand at hooking up women, look at the seductive little eyes, look at the ecstasy smiling face, look at the small gestures that seem to refuse and greet, ouch, I just hooked this love at first sight, Feiqing does not marry Tianlei. The atmosphere of the ground fire is vividly interpreted!
In contrast——
Jin Qian moved his eyes to Meng Qiulan.
En——it was obvious that Bai Yutang's beauty made her a little distracted, and she didn't return to normal until the servant girl and Ai Hu chased her over.
and……
Jin Qian's eyes turned around on Meng Qiulan's apricot-eyed and cherry-lipped face, and then on the radiant and glamorous Bai Yutang's face, sighing and muttering:
"In terms of beauty, Bai Wuye is at a disadvantage!"
"Jin Qian!" A heavy shout interrupted Jin Qian's emotion.
Jin Qian turned his head and saw Zhan Zhao staring at him with a calm and handsome face.
Why do you suddenly feel a little hairy on your back?
"Not yet!" Zhan Zhao paused and walked away.
"Eh?" Jin Qian turned his head, only to find that Bai Yutang had gone along with Meng Qiulan's carriage after several refusals to no avail.
Zhan and Jin followed all the way, and finally found that Bai Yutang and Ai Hu were welcomed into the gate of "Meng Mansion" as honored guests.
"Wow, fifth master Bai made a decisive move, and the progress is too fast!" Jin Qian squatted in the corner and stared at the gradually closing door of the Meng Mansion, full of emotion.
"Jinqian," Zhan Zhao's voice sounded, "Go back to the inn."
"Eh?" Jin Qian suddenly stood up, looking at Zhan Zhao with a surprised face, "Master Zhan, why don't we stay here for a while?"
"It's getting late, I have to go back and report to Lord Yan." Zhan Zhao frowned and glanced at Jin Qian, "What's the use of staying here?"
Cat you are not!Your sweetheart, White Mouse, is in danger alone at this time. In such a dangerous situation, you actually want to stand by and watch? !
"No... that..." Jin Qian blinked, "Isn't it a bit dangerous to keep Bai Wuye and Ai Hu here..."
Zhan Zhao's black eyes flashed, and the cold light flashed: "Bai Yutang is highly skilled in martial arts, and Ai Hu is superb in martial arts. Together, these two people are rarely rivals in the Jianghu. What's more, the whole Meng family has not found any danger of people with martial arts skills." ?”
"We are afraid that bad people will have evil intentions when they see Bai Wuye's beauty..." Under Zhan Zhao's increasingly fierce aura, Jin Qian's voice became smaller and smaller.
Hey, did you make a mistake, we are worried about your white mouse...
"Lieutenant Jin is worried about Bai Yutang?" Zhan Zhao's voice suddenly dropped below zero.
Jin Qian trembled, his mind suddenly cleared up, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Oh!Could it be that our performance made Master Mao mistakenly think that we have plans for White Mouse, so—— Master Mao is jealous again? !
"No, no, my subordinates naturally didn't worry Mr. Zhan..."
Zhan Zhao's eyes flashed, and he took a sudden step forward. The straight blue shadow was only half a foot away from the thin gray shadow, and his clean chin was only an inch away from Jinqian's forehead.
Jin Qian only felt the faint fragrance of green grass, like silk and mist, wrapped around his body instantly, and immediately became stiff.
"Jin Qian..."
Zhan Zhao's breath brushed over Jin Qian's ears, causing goosebumps on Jin Qian's back:
"After returning to the inn..."
Jin Qian shook.
"Squat for an hour!"
No!
Jin Qian complained endlessly: The cat's emotional changes in love are too weird!
-
Lingling frost clouds wait for the autumn wind, night birds sing and fly to Inoue Tong;
In the Qing Dynasty, dew, smoke and trees are silent, and the moon wheel moves in Shangyang Palace.
After returning to the inn and squatting for an hour, Jin Qian, who was pressured by a certain imperial guard, performed two sets of punches. Mr. Chasan waited eagerly in the Tianzi room until it was almost Haishi, and then he looked forward to the belated return of Bai Yutang's Ai Hu.
"Hurry up, hurry up, do you have anything to eat? Hurry up and bring it to Fifth Lord." As soon as Bai Yutang entered the room, he kept yelling like a starving ghost reincarnated, "Fifth Lord, I'm going to starve to death!"
"What? The Meng family is so stingy. They invited Brother Bai, the savior, to visit their house, and they didn't even give him any food?" Jin Qiandian brought two leftovers and a plate of steamed buns from the kitchen and put them in front of Bai Yutang. On the table, surprised.
"The preparations are rich, there are ten dishes and three soups!" Ai Hu said with a puzzled face, "I'm full."
"You are delicious, but I can't eat it, Fifth Master!" Bai Yutang wolfed down the leftovers, rolled his eyes and said, "Then what Miss Meng, she is obviously a flirtatious person, why do you want to be reserved like a lady? Luckily, I was sitting opposite Fifth Master and me, flirting with Fifth Master all night, Fifth Master and I were about to spit out sour water, how could I still have the appetite to eat?!"
Ai Hu laughed dryly.
"Brother Bai has worked hard." Yan Cha asked in relief.
"Brother Bai went to cast stones to ask for directions, but what clues did he find?" Zhan Zhao coughed lightly and asked slowly.
Bai Yutang took a sip of water, "The woman's father is named Meng Huashu, and his age should be about 50 years old. He claims to have been widowed for many years. His family has been in the silk business for generations. There are several silk shops in Guang'an Town, and the family has a big business; the woman Her surname is Meng and her name is Qiulan. She is seventeen years old and has not yet married."
"Why does it sound like what a matchmaker said when she was a matchmaker?" Jin Qian whispered.
"So, Brother Bai didn't find anything suspicious about the father and daughter." Zhan Zhao asked.
"If you're talking about something suspicious—" Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "The father and daughter seem to be a little too diligent, and they have the illusion that they can't wait to marry their daughter to me."
"That's true!" Ai Hu said gloatingly, "You didn't see the appearance of the father and daughter seeing Brother Bai, it's like a wild wolf seeing meat. Strip off Brother Bai and wash it, and pack Meng Qiulan to Brother Bai's bed!"
"Cough, cough—" Bai Yutang choked on a mouthful of steamed buns, and glared at Ai Hu, "Stinky boy, shut up for Fifth Master!"
"Cut!" Ai Hu crossed his arms, with a fearless expression on his face, "Now I'm not your servant, I can say whatever I want, you don't care!"
"Fifth Master Bai is really charming!" Jin Qian said with emotion.
"In that case, we will use our plan." Yan Chasan thought for a while and said, "Brother Bai, you should try your best to deal with that Meng Qiulan, pretend to be in love with her, and when the time is right, come to propose marriage. If it is as expected, wait for the marriage For sure, the father and daughter will find an opportunity to borrow money from Brother Bai, and then they will show their feet!"
"Do you need to say that?" Bai Yutang said confidently, "Fifth Master has already made an appointment with Miss Meng to go to the suburbs to enjoy autumn leaves tomorrow."
"That's very good." Yan Chasan nodded and said, "Brother Bai and Brother Ai will accompany Meng Qiulan on a trip to the countryside tomorrow, and Zhan Huwei and Captain Jin will continue to cooperate." Yan Chasan paused, "Yan will be there tomorrow morning Just a letter from Yumo to the local county magistrate, ordering him to fully cooperate in handling the case strictly."
"Your Majesty Yan needs to act in secret during this trip. If so, won't you expose your whereabouts?" Zhan Zhao worried.
"Yan didn't show up, he only used letters as a reminder, it's okay." Yan Chasan replied.
The crowd nodded.
Yan Chasan looked around at the crowd, cupped his hands and said, "The four of you will have to work hard tomorrow."
"The responsibilities of the subordinates." Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian clasped their fists together.
"Wrap it on Bai Wuye." Bai Yutang chuckled.
"No problem." Ai Hu patted his chest.
After everyone discussed it properly, they bid farewell to Yan Chasan and went back to the house to rest.
After everyone left, Yan Chasan turned back and sat in front of the case, read through the serial fraud case files one by one again, got up and opened the window sash, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"It's obviously progressing quite smoothly, why do I always feel a little uneasy..."
-
The dew is scattered and the autumn smoke rises, the blue sky is cloudless,
The maple fragrance is like snow, and the woods are Xiao Xiaoshuang.
In the outskirts of Guang'an Town, three miles away, between two hills, there is a valley called Qiaolin Valley. In the valley, there are continuous layers of maple trees, and the scenery is beautiful. In autumn, the red maple is better than the spring flowers, and the fallen leaves are like rain, which is so beautiful.It is indeed a resort for single men and women to meet.
Just after the time passed, four men and women came to Qiaolin Valley. There were two people walking forward, one was a handsome young man in white clothes, and the other was a gentle and beautiful rich lady. .It was Bai Yutang, Ai Hu, and Meng Qiulan, master and servant.
"Mr. Yun, look at the picturesque maple forest. Qiulan is not talented. I suddenly thought of two lines of poems. I would like to ask Mr. Yun to comment on them." Meng Qiulan looked at the handsome young man in front of her with affection, and her voice was like a weeping.
"Yun is all ears." Bai Yutang, who was pretending to be Mr. Yun, waved his fan and smiled coquettishly.
"Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the frost leaves are as red as the flowers in February." Meng Qiulan bowed her head.
"puff!"
A strange sound came out.
Meng Qiulan raised her head suddenly, looked around, and asked in surprise, "What's the sound?"
"Cough, I'm afraid the wild cats in the mountains don't know how to be elegant and bark like crazy!" Bai Yutang covered the twitching corners of his mouth with the handle of his fan, and coughed perfunctorily.
"Wild cat?" Meng Qiulan's apricot eyes widened, "Is that what a wild cat calls?"
"Cough, or a weird wild cat." Bai Yutang glanced at the dense forest and weeds behind him with the corner of his eye, and changed the subject, "These two lines of Miss Meng's poem are very good, very suitable for the occasion, and Yun also got two lines by chance. , Miss Meng please appreciate it."
Then, he stopped, turned around and spread his fan, his handsome face was shining under the sunshine through the leaves, "One mountain, two mountains, the mountains are far away, the sky is high, the water is cold, and the lovesick maple leaves are blooming. The geese are flying high and the people have not yet returned, and the wind and the moon are idle."
"It's "Long Lovesickness" by Empress Li Li Yu—" Meng Qiulan said softly.
Bai Yutang turned around, with clear waves in his peach blossom eyes, fixedly looking at Meng Qiulan, his voice was soft like water, "Although Yun feels that the artistic conception of this poem is a bit bleak, but the name of the poem is wonderful, just like Yun's state of mind at this time."
"Sauvignon Blanc..." Meng Qiulan raised her eyes, looking at Bai Yutang affectionately.
Bai Yutang turned around, his eyes full of affection.
"puff!"
Another strange sound came from the weeds in the maple forest behind him.
Meng Qiulan and Bai Yutang froze at the same time.
"Master Yun, this is probably not a wild cat—" Meng Qiulan looked at Bai Yutang with a startled expression.
"Hey!" Bai Yutang glared at Ai Hu, "Go and see!"
"I didn't hear anything." Ai Hu said honestly.
The corners of Bai Yutang's eyes twitched, and he picked up a stone with his toes and kicked it into the weeds: "It must be a stinky cat who doesn't understand its style, it must be hateful."
The stone flew into the grass with a "whoosh", but after waiting for a long time, there was no sound of landing.
On the contrary, a moderately cold wind suddenly swirled in the woods, making everyone feel chilly.
"Ah!" Meng Qiulan sneezed unconsciously.
"Tsk!" Bai Yutang glared at the weeds, turned around and smiled at Meng Qiulan, and said, "Miss Meng, Yun saw a gazebo ahead, why don't I go and rest for a while?"
"Okay." Meng Qiulan nodded repeatedly.
The two walked shoulder to shoulder, the maid shivered and hurriedly followed, Ai Hu, who was at the end of the line, looked back at the weeds, grinned, and chased after her.
The four walked like the wind, and they left a few feet away in a short time.
And in the weeds that Bai Yutang kicked into the stone just now, a head suddenly popped up. It was full of grass, the hair was disheveled, and a pair of thin eyes sparkled.
"Jin Qian—" A sigh came from behind, but Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in blue, appeared from behind the tree, looked at Jin Qian helplessly, and threw the stone in his hand to the ground. The stone kicked in by Bai Yutang.
"Hey, Mr. Zhan, this subordinate listened to the poems of Miss Meng and Bai Wuye very well, and I admired them in my heart. I couldn't hold back for a while and then praised twice..." Jin Qian laughed dryly, but secretly said in his heart:
Tsk tsk, the lines of Baimozi and Meng Qiulan can almost be selected as the most sour lines of the year.
"Master Zhan, Bai Wuye and the others are gone, let's hurry up." Jin Qian looked eager to try.
"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded.
Jin Qian's narrow eyes lit up, and he was about to run out in the posture of a senior thief. Suddenly, with the scent of green grass approaching, Jin Qian felt his waist tighten, and the things in front of his eyes flew away. With the imperial guards in their arms, they galloped out on the forest blades.
Eh?No, that, what's going on...
Before Jin Qian came back to his senses, Zhan Zhao had already sat down among the branches of a maple tree around him, and directly below was the gazebo where Bai Yutang and the others rested.
But Jinqian has no time to care about how Bai Yutang is flirting with Meng Qiulan. At this moment, Jinqian focuses all his attention on his back.
The warm breath blew the hair on his neck, scratched and touched Jin Qian's sensitive nerves behind his ears, Jin Qian only felt that every time Zhan Zhao took a breath, the hairs on his back stood on end.
"Master Zhan, Master Zhan..." Jin Qian squeezed out a voice like the Loess Plateau where it didn't rain in March.
"Don't move, this tree is not very strong." Zhan Zhao's steady voice rang in Jin Qian's ear.
Jin Qian's whole body was stiff, and his thin eyes moved to the branches under his butt one by one...
Sure enough, the slender one was obviously malnourished, and now bearing the weight of the two of them, it already made a "cracking" sound of dying struggle.
Slender eyes slowly moved sideways, looking around——
Hey, there is a maple tree with thick branches and wide branches less than half a foot away. Why do you have to live on this small branch of bean sprouts, Mrs. Mao?
"Master Zhan, why don't we change the tree..."
"This place is the closest to the gazebo, so it's convenient to explore." Zhan Zhao's reason was very good.
"..."
What is this sense of disobedience of being deceived by seriousness? !
A drop of cold sweat trickled down the tip of Jin Qian's nose.
Just at the time when Jinqian was on ice and fire, in the gazebo, Bai Yutang and Meng Qiulan had already begun to stage the Qiong Yao palace-level drama of you reluctantly leaving you and me.
"Miss Meng, to be honest, Yun's affairs in Guang'an Town have been settled, and within seven days, he will make his way back to Xihang." Bai Yutang looked at Meng Qiulan quietly, and said a little sadly.
"Ah?!" Meng Qiulan was surprised, she covered her lips with a silk handkerchief, and her apricot eyes were full of water, "Mr. Yun is leaving... I don't know when I can enjoy the scenery and sing poems with Qiulan again?"
"Yun—" Bai Yutang frowned lightly, shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet Miss Meng again when I return home this time."
"Why, why?"
"My father sent a letter from home the day before yesterday, saying that after Yun returned home, he would arrange for Yun to marry a well-matched woman..."
Meng Qiulan's eyes widened, and when two crystal clear tears slid down her peach cheeks, she lowered her head and choked with sobs, "Then, that Qiulan congratulates Mr. Yun first!"
"But Yun doesn't want to marry a stranger!" Bai Yutang suddenly raised his voice, his peach eyes filled with passion and firmness, "Yun came to Guang'an Town and decided to accompany Yun People for life!"
Meng Qiulan raised her head slowly, her eyes glistened with water, her slender hands tightly twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand.
"Qiu Lan——" Bai Yutang changed the name, and his handsome face was a little closer to Meng Qiulan, "Would you like to marry Yun?"
Meng Qiulan's pretty face immediately flushed red, and against the tearful eyes, she was truly glamorous.
"Marriage matters, parents' order, matchmaker's words, Qiulan, Qiulan dare not be alone..."
"As long as Qiulan nods, Yun will go to the Meng Mansion to propose marriage tomorrow!" Bai Yutang said with a sincere expression, "Yun only asks Qiulan's heart!"
Meng Qiulan burst into a sweet smile, bowed her head shyly and said: "Qiulan's heart for Yunlang will never change until death, and she is willing to live and die with Yunlang..."
Bai Yutang showed an overjoyed expression at the right time.
"Qiulan~~"
"Yunlang~~"
The two looked at each other with deep affection and tenderness. The servant girl quietly wiped away the tears of excitement while watching, and Ai Hu, the servant who had long been hiding outside the gazebo, desperately choked back the last night's meal that was about to be vomited.
The passionate performance of the two finally won the attention of the tree-stalking duo.
Jin Qian looked at the two talented scholars and beauties in the gazebo, but felt that the corners of the mouth, the skin, the stomach, gallbladder, liver and spleen, and the hairs on the back were violently twitching six times per second.
What a god on the forehead, the white mouse can speak such sour lines without changing his face and heartbeat, and his expressions, movements and eyes are so well coordinated, it is really the strength of a superstar!
Jin Qian was so grateful in his heart that he unconsciously uttered a sentence: "Fifth Bai..."
"Captain Jin seems to be very worried about Brother Bai?"
The person behind suddenly said something gloomy.
Jin Qian only felt the cold air lingering around his body, and couldn't help shivering.
Now!at this time!here!We dare to bet, this cat must have seen us stalking the white mice too closely these days, so he overturned the jar of jealousy!
If it doesn't work, let it go on, we will have a mouth and we can't tell.
Resolute!absolute!We want to kill this misunderstanding in the cradle, we must make it clear to the cat today that we are absolutely pure friends with the white mouse, we have absolutely no improper intentions towards the white mouse, and we have absolutely never competed with the cat for the white mouse thoughts!
Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind, made up his mind, turned his head suddenly, his narrow eyes widened, but the moment he saw the person behind him, all his heartfelt confession turned into a fart, and disappeared...
The warm sunlight shines on Zhan Zhao's handsome face through the red leaves, making his eyebrows look smooth, his skin moist like jade, his long curved eyelashes seem to be coated with a layer of golden light, trembling and seductive, his black eyes are like water, Clear and quiet, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and the water is shiny and moist.
Gudong!
Jin Qian felt that the sound of swallowing his saliva was surprisingly loud.
"Jin Qian," Zhan Zhao fixed his gaze on the person in front of him, "What do you want to say?"
"We..." Jin Qian felt as if a pot of mud had been stirred up in his head, his throat was tight, his mouth was dry, he licked his lips unconsciously, and murmured, "Master Zhan, are you Jealous..."
After catching a glimpse of Jin Qian's movements, the clear black eyes suddenly darkened and bottomless, and his breathing suddenly became hot.
"Jealous..." Qinglang's voice was slightly hoarse, "Zhan...has never been jealous..."
With every word that is like talking in a dream, the breath of green grass and light fragrance gets closer to Jin Qian.
Jin Qian stared blankly at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer to him, but his eyes were fixed on the moist thin lips. There was a rumbling sound in his head, and there was a small demonic voice whispering brokenly:
I really want to take a bite...
"Crack it!"
A small soft sound broke the charming atmosphere.
Zhan Zhao's dark eyes flashed, and then became clear again. He straightened up suddenly, and closed his eyes fiercely.
Clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles made a "click" sound, which was exactly the same as the sound just now.
"Cough, Jinqian, Shicai, Zhan just wanted to hear what Brother Bai said in the Qingliang Pavilion..." Zhan Zhaoqiang suppressed some inappropriate thoughts, his ears were slightly red, his eyes drifted, and he tried to explain.
But the voice fell for a while, and there was no answer from someone who usually answered every call.
"Jin Qian?" Zhan Zhao felt that something was wrong, and his black eyes moved to a certain captain.
Seeing this, he was startled.
I saw Jin Qian's thin eyes were wide open, his pupils were slack, and his complexion was pale, as if he had been frightened by something.
"Jin Qian!" Zhan Zhao lowered his voice, reached out and grabbed Jin Qian's wrist, and said anxiously, "What's wrong with you?!"
"Ah? Ah!" Jin Qian suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at Zhan Zhao carefully, moved away in a panic, and said in a trembling voice, "Subordinate, I'm fine." After a pause, he turned his head and glanced at the pavilion again, "Bai Wu Lord, when did they leave? Master Zhan, let's hurry up and follow!"
As he said that, he suddenly pulled his wrist from Zhan Zhao's hand, jumped under the tree with his crappy light work, and ran away in a hurry.
Zhan Zhao glanced at his empty palm, sighed softly, and chased after him.
Along the way, Zhan Zhao approached Jinqian, and Jinqian jumped out of the distance as if he was facing an enemy.
The result was that Zhan Zhao frowned more and more tightly, and the cold air on his body became heavier and heavier. The victim, Miss Meng, the maid, and Ai Hu kept sneezing, and Bai Yutang became irritable several times and almost broke his merits.
