That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 179 Three women in one play
Generally speaking, there are only two kinds of people in this world, one is men and the other is women.Although eunuchs are incomplete, in general they still barely belong to the category of men, incomplete men.

When men get together, women are the ones who talk the most.

When women get together, it is naturally men who talk the most.

It's just that there are always some exceptions. For example, women without men, especially those women with high ambitions, just like men with lofty ideals will not indulge in sex, such women will not always circle around men.

There are three such women in Jiangdu.

Zhang Xueyao is one of them. Today she left the East Lake Courtyard for the first time, and took a carriage to the entrance of a private mansion located in Fuguifang, Jiangdu City. An elegant and elegant woman had been waiting here for a long time. After that, he personally led her to the mansion.

Fuguifang, as the name suggests, is not a place where people who are not rich can live.This private house at least covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, which can be said to be a huge masterpiece in the rich and noble workshop where every inch of land is expensive.The whole mansion is a typical Jiangnan building, with white walls and black tiles. Built with aniseed sandalwood, without any other materials, it is ingenious and priceless.

The name of this warm pavilion is straightforward, it is called Tan Pavilion, and it is moderate in size. Instead of setting a heater in the corner like a normal warm pavilion, there is a solitary orchid. The four walls are different, and one side is a bookshelf. Books are piled up, and there are many rare and rare books. The gilt-bronze chime clock can be described as all-encompassing.There is a door on the wall facing the sun, and on the side facing the door is an aniseed sandalwood red sandalwood fugui couch and a rosewood-topped table with a rosewood top. There are chairs behind the table and an elegant guqin on the table. There is an exquisite small table on the couch, and the tea bowl on the table is brewed with Qingming tea before the rain from East Lake in Jiangdu.

This situation really brought the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River to the extreme, without seeing the vulgarity of the world of mortals, only smelling the quiet elegance.Of course, there is also an extravagance hidden under the elegance, which ordinary people dare not expect for a lifetime.

At this time, there were already two peerless beauties in the pavilion, both dressed in white, one was sitting on the right side of the fugui couch, sipping tea, the other was sitting behind the horizontal table, plucking the strings. However, it can still be seen that everyone's demeanor is there.

At that time, there were four masters in Dazheng Dong, Qin Mumian's Yaoqin, Yuan Shiqing's singing, Su Ruo's dancing posture, and Li Bainu's pipa.It's just that the other three have passed away one after another, and only Qin Mumian is still youthful, just like back then.

The woman who is bowing her head and playing the piano is Qin Mumian, the owner of this place.

Tang Shengyue put down the tea in her hand and said softly, "Your place is better."

Qin Mumian said without raising his head, "It's not as good as your family."

Tang Shengyue deliberately sniffed her nose, and joked: "It's such a big resentment, could it be that you were wronged in Houjian?"

Qin Mumian snorted softly, "Yeah, I've been wronged a lot, why don't you stand up for me?"

Tang Shengyue shook her head and smiled, "I don't have that ability, you go to Xiao Yu."

Qin Mumian raised his head and leaned against the back of the chair, and said angrily: "Tomorrow, I will go to Meishan to burn incense for Xiao Yu, and beg him to show his spirit quickly, and kill these bullying bastards with one sword."

"I'm afraid of you, so I dare to say anything." Tang Shengyue made a stop gesture, "If you really want to go to Meishan to burn incense, I'm afraid Lin Yinping will appear before Xiao Yu appears. "

Qin Mumian raised his eyebrows, "Each to each other."

Zhang Xueyao walked into the Tan Pavilion, sat down on the seat on Tang Shengyue's left, and poured a new cup of tea on her own, before saying, "The dead are the greatest, you two should accumulate some morals."

"Did the No.1 in the world die in such an unknown way back then?" Qin Mumian sneered and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it at all. Xiao Yu is probably hiding in order to live forever. What is there to do with such a person?" Mouth."

Tang Shengyue said softly: "When Xiao Yu was buried, only Lan Yu, Wei Jin and others were present, and Qiu Ye, Xiao Jin, Wanyan Beiyue and others were all rejected, so no one can say whether Xiao Yu died or not. I don’t know, it’s not impossible to feign death and play a golden cicada to escape the shell.”

Qin Mumian narrowed his eyes and said: "I didn't think too much about it, I just found it a little strange to see the changes in the court in the past few years. Xiao Xuan went to provoke the Taoist sect when the court was not stable. Where did he get the confidence? It doesn't make sense, but if he has his father behind him to support him, it makes sense."

Zhang Xueyao is used to the two friends' various speculations and outspokenness towards Xiao Yu, so she has long since ignored it, and said: "Even if Xiao Yu is still alive, since he chose to die back then, then probably there is no chance to see you again in this life, you two?" They all quickly collected their thoughts and focused on the present is the business."

Qin Mumian plucked the strings a few more times to calm down, and said, "Since we're talking about the present, why don't we talk about that young man today, Xu Beiyou."

Tang Shengyue nodded in agreement and said, "A few days ago, Zhang Xueyao was determined to give up her seat to this young man. I couldn't persuade her anyway. It just so happened that you came back, so tell her."

Qin Mumian looked at Zhang Xueyao, and fiddled with the strings a few more times, with a vague intention of killing.

Zhang Xueyao saw that the two of them were going to join hands to question her, so she couldn't help laughing helplessly: "We agreed to play horse tags together in a few days, and today we are going to turn against me?"

Qin Mumian pressed down on the strings, and said: "Not long ago, I saw that kid, who was hanging out with the girl of the Xiao family. I didn't realize his great wisdom and courage, but he was a little clever."

Tang Shengyue added unhurriedly: "Xu Beiyou, when he was crowned, his master was Gongsun Zhongmou, and he also had an adoptive father, Han Xuan. Now he is very close to Xiao Zhinan. He is a very assertive little guy. Seeing the situation, he It’s time to board the big ship of the imperial court.”

Zhang Xueyao smiled and said: "The only one who can compete with Daoism in the world today is the imperial court. His choice is not wrong."

Tang Shengyue emphasized her tone slightly, and said, "Don't forget, whose hands were the Zhang family and the Wei country destroyed!"

Zhang Xueyao said calmly: "Xiao Jin was the one who destroyed Weiguo and the Zhang family. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, it is also Xiao Yu's will."

Tang Shengyue, who was turned into an army, showed a pale face, and Qin Mumian took over the conversation and said: "Well, let's not talk about the Xiao brothers for now, let's just talk about Xu Beiyou, a young boy who is surrounded by this powerful enemy. Why did you take over when you were in charge?"

"If you have to ask why everything is done, you can't do this thing." Zhang Xueyao, who was still in mourning, picked up tea and sipped it slowly.

Qin Mumian said without hesitation: "It may be okay in ordinary times, but it must be so in extraordinary times."

The three women, who were enjoying themselves at first, were already feeling a little tense.

"In terms of scheming, Xiao Xuan is better than his father Xiao Yu. If Xu Beiyou went to Xiao Xuan's hands, he would have to pay for the entire Jianzong? Poor Gongsun Zhongmou worked hard for most of his life. With such little family background, I'm afraid I will make a wedding dress for others." Tang Shengyue sneered, and glanced at Zhang Xueyao intentionally or unintentionally.

"That's what I'm worried about, but there's news from the imperial capital that because of the marriage, the girl of the Xiao family's relationship with Xiao Xuan is not as harmonious as imagined. If this is true, there is a lot to be done." Zhang Xueyao put down the tea bowl in her hand and said.

Qin Mumian's eyes narrowed, "I've heard that Xiao's girl looks like Lin Yinping, so it's really interesting."

Zhang Xueyao said softly: "Before Lin Yinping died, she left Peony to her granddaughter, maybe she had expected this day long ago, after all, knowing a son is like a mother."

It was rare for Tang Shengyue to agree with Zhang Xueyao once, "This is more like Lin Yinping's style of acting."

Perhaps because of mentioning Lin Yinping, Qin Mumian was a little tired, and interrupted the topic: "It is said that there are three women in one play, and according to how the three of us sing, we can't finish singing this play until tomorrow. In my opinion, it's better Call Xu Beiyou to your eyes, and make a decision when the time comes."

Now that Qin Mumian gave in, Zhang Xueyao took a step back and said, "He's just a 20-year-old kid. As long as you don't demand too much, I won't help you either. It all depends on his ability."

"Okay." Qin Mumian made a final decision, "Then it will be on the sixth day of June."
