box of hearts

Chapter 12 Zhan Chunkui (11)
Dai Yanzheng seemed to be in a state of uncontrollable emotion, but he felt two icicle-like gazes piercing towards him.He glanced back at Xizhu, laughed awkwardly, then turned the subject and said, "You don't need to say it, it's Yong Furong."

Xizhu stared blankly at the moonlight all over the ground with a cold face, while she had already played the huqin, and sang in a lively manner: "The lotus is beautiful and beautiful, and the palace is full of fragrance, and the twelve rows of gold hairpins are charming. The dew is light red and lustful. Drops, the wind contains leaves and green mist like madness. Whoever has fat and flesh has a mirror, and the beauty is more beautiful than the clothes. Most of the poets lie, and the words are not as good as the beauty makeup." [17]
Xizhu's qin skills are like flowing waves and as high as a mountain, her voice is full and sonorous, surpassing the Qingqiu Cranes, and it also stunned several male guests.

After some applause, the king of Taihe County, who just came up with the title, rolled his eyes with his clothes, and commented: "Leaving aside the music skills, if we only talk about poetry, those 'provoking clothes with hooks', 'blood and tears blurred', 'enchanting cave entrance' These sentences are really inappropriate, and you can't bear the blessings, but it's rare that Mudan and Furong are magnificent and solemn, and they don't look like the generation of brothels, it's admirable."

Qingtian accepted it with a smile, but Xizhu's complexion changed, "Your lord seems to be quite prejudiced against the 'brothel generation'?"

She didn't speak well, and the king of the county was not annoyed, he just laughed: "This king intends to praise the outstanding school books, and I don't want the school books to be disobedient. Since I insist on asking, this king is not talking short words in front of dwarves, but' The people in the brothel "serve people with sex and benefit themselves with money, they only know about Qin and Muchu, so how can they know what they like?"

Xizhu immediately retorted: "All the famous prostitutes in the past dynasties have never given up their minds. Before, there was Luzhu[18] who reported to the master, and later there was Hongfu who knew people. Nian Xiaoxiao, when passing by Hufu, will pay tribute to Zhenniang, and there are many people who praise them, so why is Prince Dudu so disdainful?"

The king of the county only smiled and shook his head when he heard it, "I heard that Xizhu's school was born in a great family, she is really elegant and savvy. But once a woman falls into the music world, she is a ruined flower and a willow tree. No matter how high your ambition is, you can't be a wife, in the final analysis, it is because of the word 'virtue'."

Xizhu turned her head, and a pair of green earrings of Shan Shan was chilling, "The main room and the concubine are just common names in the world. The prince said that I don't understand the truth, but I will tell the prince, if someone is in my heart, I will give it to him as a gift." I am also willing to be a servant, if it does not suit my heart, I will not go even if today's emperor Shiliu carries me into the palace in a palanquin to become a queen."

The king of the county dismissed his joking attitude, and tightened his eyebrows, "How dare the daughter of a mere Pingkang [19] dare to insult the emperor? It is really arrogant."

Mr. Feng has already complained about this one. Xizhu's word "old" before made him feel depressed. Now he saw her repeatedly contradicting the distinguished guest, so he rushed up and directly put a pair of gold inlaid clothes in his hand. The chopsticks smashed towards Xizhu's head, "Bitch is rude!"

Although Xizhu also fell into prostitution since she was a child, but because of her good family background, she was regarded as a rare commodity by the second sister Duan. Honor at first sight, how many times have you ever suffered such humiliation in public?He was stunned for a moment, neither making a sound nor not making a sound.The guests whispered, and the servants in the hall looked at each other.Dai Yan looked distressed and didn't dare to interfere, so he just saluted Taihe County King and Feng Gonggong across the table, "Prince, please calm down, Uncle Shi, please calm down."

Seeing that Xizhu was beaten in the face, other courtiers rolled their eyes and snickered, Qingtian also folded his hands and watched the joke there, but saw Xizhu sitting there with a miserable face, all her usual rebelliousness was wiped out, He couldn't help sighing secretly again.Immediately with an idea, the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west frowned slightly, and at the same time gave a charming smile, and stretched out his hand to take Mr. Feng to his seat, "Although she is a bitch, you are a prince (monkey). Are you familiar with her?"

Immediately there was a roar of laughter, and everyone fell down.The King of Taihe laughed so hard that he beat the wine table, Grandpa Feng pinched the corner of Qingtian's cheek with his fingers and twisted it several times, "I am a male monkey, you are a female monkey, tear your little monkey's mouth apart. "

Qingtian hid with a smile, the gold hairpins and pearls on his head, the silver chains and emerald chains on his neck, and the jade rings and bracelets on his hands were shining like waterfalls under the reflection of Heyang flowers and candles in the hall, people were amazed at such a tiny person Under the weight of this head covered in gold and silver, her actions can still be delicate and colorful. "Everyone, don't just entertain your ears and play tricks on your mouth, and you will be empty. Lord, please raise your glass to pass the customs first, and then greet everyone for food."

Grandpa Feng was so happy that he stuffed Qingtian into his arms and took a gulp, rolled up his sleeves and punched him one after another.Immediately, there was talking and laughing on the table, and it became noisy.Xi Zhu gave Qing Tian a hard look, and got up without a sound to leave the table.Dai Yan hurriedly followed, comforting her in a low voice all the way.Mr. Feng just pretended not to see, and made fun of himself. After losing the fist, he handed the wine to Qing Tian behind him, and Qing Tian half-hid his smile and drank it all in one gulp.She hadn't eaten two bites since early in the morning. Although she was facing the full banquet of swallows, prostitutes always had to sit in the back and serve the guests, and she was not allowed to move her chopsticks.So I drank a few rounds of wine on an empty stomach, only to feel burned and uncomfortable.She resigned with a smile, and asked the servant girl Mu Yun to help her into the small clean room behind the flower hall, pulled out a plain hairpin from the back of her head, dug a few times into her throat, and vomited out all the wine she drank.Mu Yun stroked her back for her, and handed her another bowl of mouthwash, "It doesn't matter if you come later, girl, I'll bring you a bowl of porridge, take a bite, or you'll have a stomachache again."

Qingtian shook his hand, took a small bottle of fragrant rose dew from a Wufu pouch on his waist, put two drops into the water, passed it into his mouth, and then spit it out, pushed his stiff smiling face up with both hands, and dragged his feet back Arrived at the Flower Hall.

When Mr. Feng saw her, he pointed out his finger, and there was a big emerald ring on his pale finger, "Little devil, where did you go to hide your drink? Come on, I'll keep it for you. Here, these two Cup, eat it in one go."

With a sweet smile all over Qingtian's face, he pouted and begged: "Good father, please spare my daughter, she really can't eat it."

"I want to forgive you, but everyone won't. Come on, eat obediently."

Qing Tian tried to evade a few more words, but Grandpa Feng was holding her nose to irrigate her, choking her, coughing until she burst into tears.Mu Yun hurriedly thumped and caressed her, and the men kicked their legs and laughed.Laughing, Mr. Feng tied her with one arm, and raised the remaining half glass of wine, "I'm used to acting so coquettish to scare people, come on, Daddy will drink half a glass for you."

On the opposite side, Duoxia had already poured half a cup of tea and handed it to Fengqin who was nearby, Fengqin held Qingtian's legs and called "sister" softly a few times.Qing Tian took a couple of sips from the cup, raised his head—the thin veins coughed up on his forehead hadn't receded—still with a bright smile, "Oh, it's all because Daddy loves me, I can't do it anymore. "

The butterfly fairy on the other side picked up the pipa and played the first quick tick-tock tune.The aristocratic male guests mingled with each other, touched and pinched the girls around them from time to time, and then laughed heartily.

A pair of orchid lanterns were lit outside the hall, like the eyes of a person dozing off, feeling dizzy.

10.
Wait until the lamp also falls asleep, turn the bucket and move the copper pot for three drops, then let's have a feast.Wu Lingchun's Xiu Xing went with the guests on his own, Feng Qin was still an undisturbed Qing Dynasty official, and didn't keep anyone in, so she also brought tea to see the guests off.The rest of the people were resting in Huai Ya Tang, and Lord Feng and Qing Tian went back to her bedroom upstairs.

Due to excessive drinking all year round and irregular meals three times a day, Qingtian suffers from a stomachache, which suddenly flares up, and he only hopes to send Mr. Feng to bed quickly, who knows that the old man must do something when he is in high spirits.She begged again and again, but he didn't believe him, saying that he spent thousands of dollars in one night to be happy for her, "Now you are happy, but you don't let me be happy. What's the reason for pretending? Do you think I'm a plague? Or do you hate me?" Am I old?" After talking about it, his expression changed a little.Qing Tian saw that Mr. Feng's alcohol was getting stronger, so he didn't dare to argue any more, so he had to show him the box he kept in her boudoir.There was a bag of obscenities in the box, Mr. Feng took the aphrodisiac from the bag, hung up the silver tray boiled with the medicine, and knocked down the woman with a smile.

When Mr. Feng's snoring sounded, Qingtian climbed out of the bed by himself, dizzy, his hands trembling uncontrollably, he felt a rough stone mill in his stomach grinding it round and round, his internal organs would be ground to pieces.She quietly opened the door and came out, whispering hoarsely: "Mu Yun, Mu—"

"Hey!" Mu Yun was half curled up under the lamp while the outside room was still holding the lamp. At this moment, she flipped up and helped Qing Tian sit down on the soft chair, and brought a pastel medicine bowl from the warm barrel , "The medicine is hot, honey has been added, it's not bitter, drink it quickly, it's more comfortable to drink. This old man, can't let people live?" While cursing, he used his hands to gather Qingtian's hair, The tentacles were covered with fistfuls of sweat, and the face that was pulled out spontaneously was pale, with some ink stains on the corners of the lips, and the man smiled weakly at her.

Mu Yun felt so sad, she wiped the corners of Qingtian's mouth with a handkerchief, and picked her up again, "Go back to sleep, take advantage of the medicine, and sleep well, and you'll be fine when you wake up. Hey, go to the little belly." Put a pillow down."

Qingtian nodded with a smile, closed the door, and lay down beside Lord Feng again.She pulled a pillow to press her stomach, and lay face down. After a while, the drunkenness and drowsiness gradually came over her.

When I wake up from a dream, the pain has disappeared without a trace, and the night is still there——strange, why is the night so long!She turned over, and through the loud snoring by the pillow, she suddenly heard someone screaming outside the curtain: "Girl, girl?"

Qing Tian leaned forward and lifted the bed curtain aside, saw Mu Yun standing in the dim light with a smile and pointing outward.
