Compete for the Song Dynasty

In the afternoon, Yang Jian trotted back to the other courtyard where Zhao Xu lived. Zhao Xu was pacing in the room, looking out of the open door from time to time. ? Has King Zhennan left?”

"Let's go, let's go!" Yang Jian replied while wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"What about Zhang Fang Ping and Yang Shihan?" Qin Minxue asked beside him.

"Not at the house either! Prince, we don't miss this opportunity, let's go quickly..." Seeing Zhao Xu's restless appearance, Yang Jian urged.

Zhao Xu was still a little undecided, he looked at Qin Minxue and said, "Why don't you stay and answer in the room?" [

Qin Minxue almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly said: "No, no, if King Zhennan comes back and sees me pretending to be the prince in his room, he must cut me with a sword."

"Looks like I scared you..." Yang Jian muttered for a while, seeing Zhao Xu glaring at him, he quickly stopped his mouth.Zhao Xu and Qin Minxue knew better than anyone else that it might not be possible to let others do this, but Wang Pang really did it.

Although Zhao Xu was somewhat in awe of Wang Pang, he had been thinking about Lin Xiuxiu for many days, and couldn't resist the instigation of the young eunuch Yang Jian and Qin Minxue. The three of them sneaked out from the back of the other courtyard and walked along the street towards the Manchun Courtyard.

After noon, Manchun Courtyard had just opened, and there were all kinds of women in the courtyard who were busy preparing to go down, as well as those upstairs still looking lazy.The three of them stepped into the front hall, and the bustard, who was sitting at the Eight Immortals table in Zhang Yizhang and gesticulating, saw the guests coming so early, and hurriedly greeted them with a fan. "The three of you came early today..."

"Don't be so wordy, our young master wants to invite Miss Lin Xiuxiu to have a cup of tea, you should hurry up and say hello." Qin Minxue didn't want to waste time, besides, there are many people in this place, if Wang Pang finds out, it will be troublesome.

The old bustard frowned, and said in a very embarrassed way: "Miss Lin Xiuxiu doesn't usually see visitors, besides, she is resting now...or..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xu took out an ingot of silver and handed it to the old bustard through Yang Jian's hand. The silver was worth six or seven taels. No visitors, but this young man is so handsome, he must not be an ordinary young man, it is okay to have a cup of tea with him. The three of you sit down for a while, and I will talk to the girl." After finishing speaking, the three of Zhang Luo looked for him After sitting down at the table, the old bustard hurriedly walked towards the backyard with small feet.

Lin Xiuxiu had a lot of things on her mind in the past few days, sitting in front of the dressing table mechanically combing her long hair, slightly distracted.Rose was tidying up the room. Seeing Lin Xiuxiu's gloomy expression, she couldn't help asking with concern: "Girl, are you still worried about the Golden Lotus Society?"

"Ah!" Lin Xiuxiu sighed with a heavy heart, and put down the light comb: "I didn't expect him to be such a person~!"

Rose said disdainfully: "Girl, you are so stupid. If there were no sisters from the Golden Lotus Society to inquire about him and build bridges for him, he would be where he is today? Now that Liu Niang is gone, the leaders of the Golden Lotus Society are just decorations. I think It's true that he wanted to get rid of the burden of the Golden Lotus Club."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuxiu burst into tears thinking of Liu Niang, "My godmother died strangely, alas, it's a pity that I can't do anything as a goddaughter."

Seeing that Lin Xiuxiu was crying, Rose softened her tone and said, "What are you doing, let's protect ourselves first, girl, if you don't want to follow him, if you do, I'm afraid you won't come to this Yongzhou today, and you will vote for yourself." It's like a net mixed with the prince's whereabouts."

"Forget it, let's take a step and take a step. After all, he is also my godfather..."

"That's you..." Rose was about to continue, when she suddenly heard footsteps in the courtyard and the vibrato of the old bustard's greeting: "Miss Lin, is she awake?" Immediately after, the old bustard's slightly fatter body had already leaned into the room. Inside.

Lin Xiuxiu stood up and bowed slightly: "Mom, is there something wrong for coming so early?"

"Yes! A young man outside said he wanted to see a girl!"

Rose said at the side: "How can I see any guests so early? It's improper. Let the other room see it and say that my girl is in a hurry to do business."

The old bustard gave Rose a white look: "What is the girl talking about? Although Hangzhou Manchunyuan is our general name, we are in such a remote and remote place. The two of you come here these days to sing songs or something. I haven't seen any big business for our small temple, so we have to let our small temple survive."

Rose's eyes were wide open. She had just had a conversation with Lin Xiuxiu, and she was upset. This will be all on the old bustard. She stared at the old bustard and asked, "What are you talking about? We've been here for the past few days. One day, the girl will go out with a pair of shoes, and the money in your pocket is enough to open a shoe and sock shop, and I haven't seen you give the girl sewing money. If you don't like us here, we will go back to Hangzhou! "[

The old bustard immediately sat down at the table, patted the table with an aggrieved face and said: "I am provoking someone, and you two girls will always come here. I can't offend you, but neither can the girl." Smash the signboard of my yard. The young man outside called out to invite Miss Lin to have a cup of tea. I can't resist this. Besides, if you two want to go back to Hangzhou, I will beat the gongs and drums Isn't it good to see you off? What if something happens to the girl after a long time..."

Seeing her talking more and more, Lin Xiuxiu winked at Rose: "Go and see what kind of person is here..."

Rose knew that Lin Xiuxiu was afraid that if she said more, the procuress would talk too much, so she snorted and turned around and walked out.Lin Xiuxiu took out some broken silver from the drawer of the dressing table, and brought it in front of the old bustard: "Mom, you have worked hard. This is the money to buy tea for mom. We are here to cause trouble for you. I will find a way in a few days. Let's discuss again."

The old bustard took the money and put it in his bosom, but he said earnestly, "Girl, I know you are in a difficult situation. Although I have to give Liu Niang some face, I can't afford to offend Mr. Lin..."

"Stop talking, I know, I will find a way as soon as possible..." Lin Xiuxiu said in a low voice.

The old bustard stood up: "Okay, okay, anyway, we share the same fate, you girl, just be soft, can't you be fine!"

Rose came back from the outside and whispered to Lin Xiuxiu: "Girl, it's the prince's brother who came, the one who followed the prince that day, and there are two people with him, who have never seen each other..."

"Forget it, let them come in." Lin Xiuxiu Nai said, a smile appeared on the old bustard's face, and she turned and walked out.

After a short time, Zhao Xu led Qin Minxue and Yang Jian excitedly and walked in, and saw Lin Xiuxiu sitting at the table, slightly bowing her body, quite dignified and calm: "Prince Wang is here at this time, I don't know What do you want to discuss in detail?" Prince Wang? ?Qin Minxue and Yang Jian at the side heard Lin Xiuxiu's address to Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu naturally didn't tell them anything about being in Manchunyuan, and of course they didn't know about Zhao Xu's pseudonym Wang Ye.But the attention of the two people did not seem to be on this title. Lin Xiuxiu behaved dignifiedly and looked amazing. Yang Jian looked at Lin Xiuxiu in a daze when he saw Qin Minxue, and stretched out his hand to pinch Qin Minxue fiercely. Don't be afraid to lose your head.

Before Zhao Xu came, he always wanted to see Lin Xiuxiu. He seemed to have a lot to say, but at this moment, he suddenly didn't know what to say. He looked around at Qin Minxue and Yang Jian and thought, "These two people usually have good eyesight, but they don't know how to avoid them this time. She also felt that it was a bit abrupt to let the two of them go out now, and she didn't know what to do. Seeing Zhao Xu's embarrassment, Lin Xiuxiu felt that he was different from ordinary vagabonds, so she smiled and said, "Please sit down, Mr. Wang. good?!"

"Brother is fine, but he's busy. We're going to Dali in a few days, so I came to see Miss Lin." Zhao Xu blushed with a heartbeat as he spoke.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern..." Lin Xiuxiu said, Rose brought tea, and Zhao Xu realized that he was still standing there blankly. He walked to the table and sat down in front of Lin Xiuxiu, holding a cup in his hand, and said a thousand words I don't know where to start.The room suddenly became quiet, somewhat awkward for a while, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sighed when he thought of his identity.Lin Xiuxiu is like his ideal person, not the emperor's order but love at first sight, but how can he like a singing girl like the dignified crown prince of the Song Dynasty?

Seeing Zhao Xu's preoccupation, Lin Xiuxiu felt a little guilty when she remembered that he would emerge as a crown prince and go to Dali in a few days. Seeing him sigh, she said softly: "The prince has a heavy responsibility, why don't you ask the little girl to present a song, thinking Young master practice."

Zhao Xu nodded hurriedly, Lin Xiuxiu got up and walked to the zither, her slender fingers were like falling flowers, the sound of the zither sounded like mountains and flowing water, the beauty gently opened her red lips, and sang with a beautiful voice: "Longshou Yunfei, by the riverside In the evening, misty waves are everywhere and lean on the railing for a long time. Looking at the desolate Guanhe River, thousands of miles of clear autumn, I can't bear to stare. Yaoyao Shenjing, Yingying Fairy, don't come to Jinzi. It's hard to come across. Broken geese, slowly flying down Tingzhou, thinking leisurely. … "

The song was melodious and melodious, and the three of Zhao Xu were fascinated by it. Zhao Xu used his fan to gently drink the beat in the palm of his hand, but he was not as restrained as he just came in.After singing the song, Lin Xiuxiu leaned slightly, Zhao Xu was about to speak, when he heard a loud cheer from outside the door: "Good singing!" The voice was like a loud bell, waking up the three people who were intoxicated, and Zhao Xu almost fell off the chair , Why does this voice sound like Wang Pang?

The people in the room looked towards the door, and Wang Pang appeared at the door at some point, with Yang Shihan at his side, and Yang Shihan was glaring at Yang Jian angrily.

Zhao Xu hurriedly stood up: "Wang, Brother Wang! Why are you here?"

Wang Pang chuckled: "I knew you were naughty, you have caused a lot of trouble!" He said, glanced at Yang Jian who was hiding behind Zhao Xu, and Qin Minxue who was standing beside Zhao Xu at a loss.

Lin Xiuxiu walked up to the king and saluted and said, "I don't know if the prince will be far away to meet you, please forgive me!"

"Excuse me, it doesn't matter if I forgive you or not, but Miss Lin is indeed a little rude, as long as the prince doesn't blame me!"

Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat. If Lin Xiuxiu knew that she was the crown prince, something would happen, and if she really wanted to seek revenge from the crown prince, then it would be difficult for him to see Miss Lin again.Just as he was hesitating, Wang Pang suddenly said to Zhao Xu with a little sternness: "My dear brother, why do you take the prince out without permission, and why are you so disrespectful to let the prince stand?!" Everyone was stunned.Lin Xiuxiu couldn't help looking at Qin Minxue and then at Yang Jian, thinking who is King Zhennan talking about?
