Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 9 High Hall and Guangsha
On that day, it was Chenpai time.

Earl Ying woke up from the guest room of Ximen Qing's house.

When I opened the window, I saw the clear sky outside and the bright sun shining brightly.

I couldn't help but stretch out and take a breath of fresh, pure air.

Last night, he took advantage of the darkness and came all the way back from Wu Dalang's house on Zishi Street. Because it was too late, he went to sleep in the guest room.

At this moment, he stood by the window in a daze for a while, then walked out through the door.

As soon as he walked out, the scorching sun immediately stung his eyes.

Since he was not fully awake yet, he walked slowly toward the dining room with his head bowed.

From the first to the third hospital, it was very quiet at this time.

Mostly, those who woke up went to the dining hall to eat, while those who didn't wake up were still immersed in their dreams.

Earl Ying clearly remembered that Ximen Qing's family had a lot of servants and maids.

However, in the past two days, he has only seen Laibao and Laiwang.

He has never seen any of the other people.

The distance from the first entrance to the second entrance was not too long, and we walked over quickly.

When he passed Sister Ximen's room, he suddenly stopped.

Only then did I remember that the door to Ximen Qing’s daughter, Sister Ximen’s room, was locked tightly.

It turns out that as early as two years ago, Sister Ximen married Chen Jingji, the son of Chen Hong, the deputy admiral of the 80-strong Forbidden Army in Tokyo.

Sister Ximen has never been back in the past two years since she married into the Chen family. Ximen Qing missed her so much.

So three months ago, Ximen Qing asked his maid Pang Chunmei to go to Tokyo City.

On the one hand, it was to send some generous gifts to Mr. Chen’s family living in Tokyo on behalf of Ximen Qing.

On the other hand, it was also for Ximen Qing to see how Sister Ximen was doing there.

At present, Count Pan Jinlianying has seen it with his own eyes, but Count Li Ping'er Ying has not seen it yet.

But that's just a matter of a day or two.

As for Pang Chunmei, Earl Ying didn't know when he would see her again.

Alas, to be honest, Pang Chunmei is equally important to Earl Ying as Pan and Li.

So, Earl Ying stopped in front of Sister Ximen's door for a full stick of incense before leaving reluctantly.

After passing the front hall, we walked forward for a while.

As soon as you step out of the gate, you are in the third courtyard.

A cool spring breeze came, and a scent of flowers and plants floated in front of his eyes.

Charming scenery such as Zangchun Pavilion, Fei Cuixuan and Furong Hall are not far away on the right front.

The water is flowing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Even Ximen Qing’s favorite Zangchunwu is included in it.

He looked down and saw that he was standing by the boiling pool, the water flow was crystal clear, and he could clearly see a few fish playing in the water.

Turning around, there was another magnificent scene.

Haitangxuan and Jujingtang seem to be hidden in Boiling Pond and three hills, intentionally or unintentionally.

Especially in the peony garden, it was clear that spring had just begun and the flowers were in bloom for more than a month.

However, in the peony garden, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, colorful and colorful.

At just one glance, the flowers and plants inside are dizzying, and life and death cannot be discerned.

This magnificent place around Boiling Pond, although it belongs to the third courtyard, is deeply connected with the first and second courtyards.

Earl Ying was stunned and thought from the bottom of his heart: This Ximen Qing...ah!It’s okay for me to call him brother, but it’s actually okay for me to call him godfather!
This is totally possible...

Grandpa, grandson, I have come to recognize my ancestor and return to my clan!Earl Ying grinned ferociously and couldn't help but run as fast as he could towards the peony garden.

"Hey? Why is this Hanako still insane?"

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the side.

"Second Master Ying! Second Master Ying! Are you hungry or something?"

The boy from Ximen Qing's family came to protect him and asked anxiously.

Earl Ying turned around and saw Lai Bao and Song Huilian, each carrying a bucket, staring at him dumbfounded.

"It's nothing, I just woke up from sleep."

Earl Ying suppressed the smile on his face and yawned.

In fact, I was so scared that I broke out in cold sweat.

Lai Bao and Song Huilian looked at each other and smiled. Song Huilian waved her jade hand and said, "Ying Huazi, come with us to the dining hall for dinner!"

Earl Ying immediately woke up because of such a fright.

Only then did I realize that I was already very hungry, so hungry that my heart was pressed against my back.

Then he turned around and looked at the flowers and tender grass in the peony garden.

Suddenly I realized that the reason why I found them so charming was probably because I was so hungry that I wanted to eat them all.

I'm so hungry that I can't even describe it as wolf-like or tiger-like. It's really...

During half a cup of tea, Earl Ying accompanied Laibao and Song Huilian to the dining room.

I saw that the two dining tables were overcrowded, there were men and women, and they were gobbling up one by one.

Ximen Qing and his three eldest wives Wu Yueniang, second wife Li Jiaoer, and third wife Sun Xue'e should have already finished their meal.

Otherwise, these young men and maids would not be able to sit here.

As soon as Earl Ying sat down, he picked up a mutton bun and started chewing it.

He was eating like crazy, as if he didn't care about being dragged to the execution ground and beheaded.

Seeing this, everyone roared with laughter.

"Hey, Yinghuazi, I'm afraid you were born by a starving ghost. Look at the way you eat."

All the maids and servants: Laibao, Laiwang, Song Huilian, Yuxiao, Daian, Yingchun, Xiuchun, Qiuju and so on.

They all burst into laughter.

Earl Ying didn't mind at all and crazily devoured the bowl of tomato and egg noodles at hand.

He muttered indistinctly, and no one else could hear him clearly: "In my last life, I was worse than a starving man. I borrowed online loans to buy a house, demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, and survived by struggling to survive!"

After a long time, the laughter gradually subsided. Song Huilian patted Earl Ying on the shoulder and said, "Ying Huazi, you should eat less. Today is the birthday of Mr. Hua next door, but he will prepare several tables of delicacies from all over the world."

"If you don't save your stomach, you won't be able to eat by then."

Earl Ying, who was wolfing down his food, froze immediately, opened his mouth wide and asked, "My brother has woken up? Has he recovered?"

Earl Ying's mind was filled with Li Ping'er, and the chopsticks in his hands fell to the ground.

Qiu Ju, the maid in the room of Li Jiaoer, the second wife of Ximen Qing, took a new pair of chopsticks and placed them respectfully in front of Earl Ying.

"Second Master Ying, Master Hua recovered from his illness two hours ago. Your sworn brothers have already had a drink."

"At that time, my master asked Yingchun to call you in the guest room. Unfortunately, you were too sleepy to wake you up."

After Qiu Ju finished speaking, Yingchun, the maid in the room of Xue'e, the third wife of Ximen Qing, nodded and said, "Yes, Second Master Ying. At that time, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I pushed you twice and left."

Earl Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly. At that time, he was lost in the sweet dream of spending the night with Pan Jinlian.

In his confused state, he was still wondering why Pan Jinlian, who was so affectionate towards him, always pushed him away.

It turns out that it was actually Yingchun telling me to get up quickly.
