But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Chapter 27

Beating a woman unconscious in the backyard of the county government office, no one can leave in an open manner.

Liang Peiqiu thought of this, so she changed into Wanniang's flimsy gauze skirt, covered it with a face scarf, and went out with Wang Yunxian one after the other.

Zhang Wensi's entourage was outside, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they stepped forward and said, "My lord has ordered you not to go out."

"Wanniang" said: "The Young Master's family has something important to present to your lord, please go and report it."

"what?"

Wang Yunxian pretended to be reserved, raised his chin high, and ignored it.

The attendants didn't dare to be tough, and told them to go back to the side hall to wait, and he went to report, "Wanniang" nodded to him, expressing that he knew it well, and the other party no longer hesitated.

After he left, the two immediately walked towards the corner door in the backyard.

There was also a guard there.

Only Wanniang passed by here, and when she saw someone dressed in the same outfit come out, the other party didn't pay attention, and just glanced at Wang Yunxian who was following behind.

Wang Yunxian lowered his head and coughed, coughing and panting, as if he had tuberculosis.

The guard didn't want to pay attention, just asked as usual, "Wan Niang" explained: "This is a young lady in our hall, who was here to receive distinguished guests for the lord, who knows that he contracted a disease, so he had to avoid it. It would have bumped into the nobleman in the front yard, so I'm sorry for your convenience."

As she spoke, she stuffed a sling of money into the guard's sleeve pocket.

The guard looked around and waved to them, telling them to leave quickly.

When Wang Yunxian passed by, he took a few steps out of the way, so as not to be contaminated with unclean things.

The two ran out of the yard, Wang Yunxian still had time to ask her: "Why don't you go into the dog's hole?"

"You still said! You were able to get into that dog hole a few years ago, but you can still get in now?" You know how much effort it took for her to get in because she was stuck in the middle of the dog hole?
If he had known this earlier, he might as well just bribe the guard.

Wang Yunxian laughed out loud and couldn't help but look sideways.

She is wearing a thin spring jacket and skirt, with a collar on top and a horse-face skirt on the bottom. She has a yellow shirt and green sleeves, and she is graceful and graceful. Looking at it like this, one can't help feeling, such a beautiful woman, who doesn't know the lotus noodles?
The breeze blew by, and the kerchief covering her face swayed, revealing her fair and beautiful face.

Only a pair of eyebrows and eyes can be examined carefully, the bones are distinct, the brows are slender and long, and they are as handsome as a man, but the eyes are full of autumn water, looking forward to the sky.

Especially when she was running, the fluttering skirt danced in the night, like a flame flickering, it was so beautiful.

Wang Yunxian is indeed not very smart, but he is not a fool either.

He can probably recognize what a woman looks like and how she differs from a man.

However, Liang Peiqiu has grown up like this, is it to the point of confusing the real with the fake?
Wang Yunxian was really puzzled.

But he couldn't help thinking about it. They were more than ten meters away from the backyard when they heard a loud shout from behind, followed by chaotic footsteps.

Wang Yunxian wanted to look back, but Liang Peiqiu stopped him.

"Don't look back." She took his hand, "You will lose if you look back, run forward."

The cold wind whizzed past, passed through Wang Yunxian's empty robe, and even penetrated his heart.

Many years later, she can still remember this night. She said to him, run forward, keep running forward, and can't turn back.

Turn around and lose.

At that time she held his hand, the palm was not delicate, but it was extraordinarily soft, soft like a clear spring flowing through his whole body.

He jerked violently, as if he was hit by something, and then captured by something. From then on, he was no longer him, and she was no longer her.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and the violent panting of running covered his inexplicable heartbeat.

After turning the corner, Shi Nian rushed over when he heard the movement.

The two immediately jumped into the carriage and traveled from Gongguan Ridge to Jingde Avenue. The people and horses gathered all the way, and the pursuit behind them became more and more closely.

Seeing that the other party was about to catch up, Wang Yunxian got up immediately: "If I go..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Nian jerked the reins, turned the horse's head and rushed to the side alley.

After a while, all the people arrived at the entrance of the alley and were stopped by the inspection department who "fallen from the sky".

"Who are you waiting for? Dare to gallop wildly in the market? Come, take it for me quickly!"

When Jingde Avenue regained its former tranquility, two figures slowly walked out of the quiet and dark alley.

Looking at the direction in which the inspection department was evacuating, one of the figures said indifferently: "Xu Zhiliu, you owe me a favor."

"it is good."

"You don't ask me what I want to pay back?"

Xu Zhiliu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Wu, just open your mouth, as long as I have, as long as you want."

Wu Yin raised his eyebrows.

He is not a nosy person, and he never asks too many questions when things happen. He temporarily received a help from the servant of Hutian Kiln, saying that Xu Shaodong's family asked him to patrol the streets at night to maintain the law and order in Jingdezhen.

He just found it interesting.

Walking around won't cause any trouble, but he never thought that the so-called "maintaining law and order" of Xu Shaodong's family was actually someone who blatantly blocked the county government.

It seems that his foot has messed up the shit.

Wu Yin shook his head: "Xu Zhiliu, I should have stabbed you to death last time."

Xu Zhiliu didn't speak, but frowned slightly towards the direction where the carriage disappeared.

Wu Yin looked and saw the young man beside him lost in deep thought. He was still wearing a blue dress, so thin that he seemed to be too thin to bear the cold of the night, but it was such a person who sent An Jiu to the prison in Kyoto, and survived the sword of the military officer.

Standing like this, he fell into the half-black and half-white world in the light and shade of alleys and street intersections.

With a handsome face, born with a heart that hides a knife in a smile.

Terrible.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Yin asked after a long time.

Xu Zhiliu's voice was soft, faintly, "Did you see a woman just now?"

**
In the lion lane in the distance, the sound of clappers came one after another.

It's been three days.

Xu Zhiliu patrolled the kiln as usual, and when he passed the pear blossom branch, he paused and looked towards the wall.

The moonlight is melting tonight, and the treetops are shrouded in warm light like quicksand, quiet and peaceful.

It was the end of April and approaching May. The pear blossoms had passed their flowering period, and the branches were withered. Some yellowed petals and leaves fell to the feet, and there was a slight rustling sound when stepped on.

He seemed to be afraid of alarming someone, or he seemed afraid of crushing something, so his steps were very light.

When he was only half an inch away from the top of the wall, he closed his eyes and lightly smelled the scent of pear blossoms in the wind.

Maybe that scent is long gone, maybe that scent never existed.

After a moment of silence, he continued walking forward.

Every household in Jingdezhen lives on porcelain. Although it is only a small place, it has been developed from a village to a town and has been activated by the endless waterway of the Changjiang River.Along the river, facing the wharf according to the waterway, batches of "sales" merchants disembarked from the ships, and the common people formed a long bustling market mixed with ceramics trading along the sparse cottages and winding beaches by the river.

This market has gradually expanded and scaled up day by day. From the hand-painted map, it can be seen from the hand-painted map that it goes south along Wulong Mountain, passes through Xuejiawu, Yaowang Temple, goes around the east side of Zhudong, and ends at the foot of Qingfengling.

There are many folk kilns, interspersed one by one, paving the streets and alleys—a strip pattern along the river, which has been stretched and broken since then, and has become a spring silkworm probing eastward.

Looking at it in the dark, this spring silkworm is swaying its chubby body, its forehead protruding from its forehead, facing the bright place, trying to raise its bright eyes.

Every time Xu Zhiliu visits the kiln, he does not just walk around the Hutian Kiln area, but also walks around the surrounding area of ​​the Imperial Kiln Factory along the river, to see the kiln fire late at night, and to examine his conscience.

A few years have passed, and the original intention has not changed, so it is time to put the return date on the agenda.

Not long after he left, in the Anqing Kiln, which was only separated by a wall, the workers and servants were all asleep, but the main hall was still brightly lit.

Wang Yunxian knew he had made a mistake, so he confessed to Wang Yu when he got home.Wang Yu is no better than Xu Zhong, no matter how well maintained he is, he is still a little old man in his sixties.After listening to Wang Yunxian's narration, the soles of his feet couldn't help trembling, he swayed and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Liang Peiqiu was beside her, helping Wang Yu to sit down with one hand, and pouring tea with the other.

On the way back, Liang Peiqiu quickly came up with the rules. She first hurriedly took off Wanniang's underskirt in the carriage, changed her hair bun, and asked Shi Nian to burn Wanniang's clothes, and then changed into the servant's clothes at the concierge.

After entering the main house, retreat everyone and let Wang Yunxian go in alone.

The father and son quarreled without saying a word, and then Wang Yu twisted Wang Yunxian's ear and yelled, Wang Yunxian screamed, Liang Peiqiu had no choice but to follow in.

She half-narrated a paragraph, and Wang Yunxian made up a paragraph. The two of them knelt down obediently after finishing the whole story.

Wang Yu asked Liang Peiqiu to get up, but she refused at first, until Wang Yu loudly reprimanded her for being disobedient, she was afraid that the little old man would faint from anger, so she ran to the side to serve her.

That's why I was able to lend a hand in time to support the little old man.

Wang Yu sat for a while, but the depression in her chest still couldn't be relieved.

Liang Peiqiu brought tea over, but he didn't want to drink it either. His pair of vicissitudes of eyes fixed on the unfilial son in front of him.

After a long time, he said, "Do you still remember your brother?"

Wang Yunxian's voice was like a mosquito: "Remember."

"Remember? Do you still dare to have sex with prostitutes?!"

"I didn't! I was framed!" He hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, and looked at Liang Peiqiu as if asking for help, hoping that she could explain for him.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that nothing happened that night between him and Wanniang, it was just a play played by Wanniang.

Liang Peiqiu was about to speak when she was interrupted by Wang Yu.

"You don't need to help him out. If he hadn't gone to the place where he was waiting for flowers and willows, how could he be framed by others? If he hadn't been unrighteous, how could he have fallen into the trap of thieves? Who is Zhang Wensi? Didn't I remind you?"

Wang Yu slammed the table: "Wang Yunxian, that day you went to the county government with me to give gifts, what did I tell you when you left? You tell me every word!"

Wang Yunxian wanted to pretend to be dead, and didn't want to be called by his father on the spot.

Because of Liang Peiqiu's presence, he really didn't want to recall what happened that day, but even if he didn't raise his head, he could still feel a fiery gaze staring at him all the time.

He bite the bullet and said: "Duke Yang has been in power for many years, and he has confiscated a vegetable from his people. This new county magistrate has just taken office, and my Wangjiayao lost two treasures in the private treasury. It is really hateful! It is even more hateful than that eunuch! Just remember, no matter where you are in the future, stay away from this Mr. Zhang, and don't tell him to pluck out another hair!"

Wang Yu saw that he repeated every word, and was furious: "You know that guy is not a good guy, but you sent him to your door to be cheated, Wang Yunxian, your head is on your butt?"

Wang Yunxian was wronged.

"I just, just..."

"It's just what, just bewitched by the beauty, and once you donate generously, you really regard yourself as a hero? When people praise you a few times, you will turn your tail. Why are you so contemptuous!"

"Master!"

Liang Peiqiu interrupted Wang Yu in time to prevent him from continuing.

Seeing that Wang Yunxian lost the anger just now, and shrank into a ball, Liang Peiqiu made amends for Wang Yu: "Master, be careful, it will hurt your body, please drink some tea slowly."

She said to Wang Yunxian again, "Master is so old, seeing that you are so angry with him that he can't speak straight, why don't you admit your mistake?"

Wang Yu waved his hand: "You don't need to be a peacemaker, even if you want to, I'm afraid this kid won't like it! Look at his cowardly face, how can he have any manliness? If I knew this, I shouldn't... I shouldn't!"

"What shouldn't?"

Wang Yunxian raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red.

"You shouldn't have given birth to me, right? Every time you say the same thing, my mother gave birth to me with all her might, so what does it have to do with you? You always say that I'm not manly, but when have you ever taken care of me since I was a child? If you don't care about me, why do you have these demands? If you didn't know how to raise your son, my brother wouldn't have died in a brothel..."

"Snapped"!
A crisp sound broke the tense atmosphere in the room.

The air condenses for a moment.

Wang Yunxian turned his head away, gritted his teeth, and spat out the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to say something more, but Liang Peiqiu, who rushed forward, tightly covered his mouth.

Wang Yu pointed at him and staggered back: "Nie Zhan, you Nie Zhan! Do you want me to experience the pain of bereavement again!"

What a glamorous thing to die on a whore's bed! ?This matter has always been a hidden pain in his heart, and he never mentioned it, and he did not allow anyone to mention it.

Just because his eldest son ended up like this, it really has something to do with him.

In the final analysis, the desire for his son to become a dragon was too urgent, so that the eldest son was forced to be ruthless, rebellious, and hang out in flower houses day and night, and eventually contracted smallpox and died.

His wife hated him so much that she had been divorced from him for many years, and finally became pregnant again. She did not hesitate to take risks to give birth to a second son, but she passed away.

As soon as Wang Yunxian was born, his feelings towards this child were complicated, both loving and pity, fearing and worrying.

He didn't dare to force him, and he didn't dare not to force him. He was afraid that he would repeat the same mistakes, and he was also afraid that his wife would be cold-hearted, so he swayed from side to side, pulling the child up.

Although he is not good enough, but fortunately he is not crooked, and his temper is a little bit out of control. He is a good boy after all.

In fact, he loves him from the bottom of his heart.

However, just living in this world, with An Nineteen in front and Zhang Wensi in back, how can this world allow him to be innocent?

He is old and doesn't have many years to live. If he repeatedly puts himself and Wang's kiln in danger, how will he explain to his ancestors?

Wang Yu coughed so hard that she could barely stand up.

Liang Peiqiu glared at Wang Yunxian a few times, making sure that he would stop talking nonsense, and hurriedly went to help Wang Yu obediently.

Wang Yu coughed again for a long time, and finally took the tea and drank it. At this time, he eased up a little. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wang Yunxian, who was still crooked and timid, kneeling behind him.

Aware of his worry, Wang Yu shook her head, knowing that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and growing up was not a day's work, so she said: "You go to the ancestral hall and kneel, I won't speak, and you are not allowed to get up."

Wang Yunxian was reluctant, Wang Yu raised his voice: "Why, do you still want me to invite you over?!"

"No need."

Wang Yunxian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lifted his robe and walked outside.

As soon as the door opened, drafts gushed in all directions.

Wang Yu asked Liang Peiqiu: "You changed into women's clothes today? Then this kid..."

Liang Peiqiu hurriedly pressed her lips to signal Wang Yu to keep silent.

Wang Yu turned her head and saw that Wang Yunxian who was walking in front either had itchy arms or a sore mouth, humming and chirping and dawdling.

He immediately reacted, knowing that this kid was hopeless.

Pei Qiu had already changed into a woman's dress, yet he hadn't noticed it yet?Is he blind?

And looking at Pei Qiu's attitude, I'm afraid she doesn't want to reveal her real body.Then her marriage with this kid, I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, Wang Yu swallowed the words on his lips, and only said: "You idiot, hurry up!"

　Yunxian, let’s just say that the eyes can’t be used, so it’s useless to grow them anyway~
