Concubine

Chapter 176 The Murder on the Ridge
Yang Qiuchi was waiting to drink, but Song Yuner couldn't stop talking, so she had to grab a stewed chicken foot and gnawed it, and said with a smile while chewing: "You girl has so many ideas, what do you add? Tell me quickly."

Song Yun'er said: "One round of fines ranging from [-] to [-] glasses of alcohol, within a round, the one with the least amount of alcohol can ask the person with the most alcohol to perform a show, okay?"

Yuechan applauded first: "Miss, that's a good idea!"

"What's better? You are in charge of counting, and you will be punished if you make a mistake. Hee hee hee, you just wait to see your young master perform." Song Yun'er laughed, "Who will start first?"

"Madam Bai is the elder, so of course she started." Yang Qiuchi said, "The rest of us will continue in order of age."

Mrs. Bai didn't refuse, she thought for a while, and said: "In the chaotic mountains and snowy night, a lonely stranger."

Yang Qiuchi thought for a while, and then applauded: "Good poem, Mrs. Bai sang it. This is a line from "Da Ye You Huai", a poet of the Tang Dynasty Cui Tu, right? In the renewed year, I will also have a new start.”

Mrs. Bai nodded: "Young master has a lot of knowledge and strong memory, what he said is very true."

Song Yun'er exposed Yang Qiuchi's intentions, and said: "My brother is not admiring your auntie's poems, but is taking this opportunity to think about how he should respond, right?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Yang Qiuchi proudly.

Yang Qiuchi had exactly this kind of thinking. The word at the end of Mrs. Bai's poem was "human", so his own poem must also have "human".

Song Yun'er urged: "Brother, don't be lazy, continue!"

While speaking, Yang Qiuchi remembered a sentence, and said: "It's been a long time. It should be a good time for a good time. Even if there are thousands of styles, who can tell them."

This is a line from Liu Yong's famous "Yulin Ling".

Song Yuner blinked her eyes: "Brother, there are so many poems, why did you choose this one? Does it mean something?" She knew that Boss Bai Qian was going to betroth Bai Sumei to Yang Qiuchi, and she could see that Bai Sumei was right Yang Qiuchi was interesting, and deliberately made fun of Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi didn't expect this. After a while, he realized that Song Yuner was alluding to herself and Bai Sumei. She coughed and stared, "What nonsense are you talking about? My last word is 'Say'. Quickly pick it up~!"

"Brother! Sister Bai is older than me, so it should be her turn first, so don't be partial!"

In his panic, Yang Qiuchi didn't notice this problem, snorted and looked at Bai Sumei.

Bai Sumei was generous, and chanted: "Now that I know all the sorrow, I want to say it. I want to say it, but I say it's cool in autumn!"

Yang Qiuchi applauded: "It's too late to talk!"

Song Yun'er smiled again: "Brother, you said that sister Bai wants to talk, but what does she want to say by 'wanting to say'?"

"I want to say that you are a little devil! - pick you up!"

"It's too simple, 'autumn', isn't it?, 'Green sky, yellow leaves, autumn colors and waves, cold smoke and green on the waves'. Fan Zhongyan's "Su Mu Zhe"." After finishing speaking, Song Yuner shook her head: "This wine order It's too simple, it's not fun to drink too much. Let's drink a glass of wine each and think about another one."

Seeing that the wine could not be drunk, Yang Qiuchi felt upset. Hearing that everyone had a drink, he hurriedly said to Yuechan: "Pour the wine quickly!"

Yuechan hastily poured a glass of wine for Mrs. Bai, Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner, and the three drank it in one gulp.Bai Sumei took a sip of tea.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the stewed meat on the table: "Come, let's eat a little." After they took it, he grabbed a flipper himself and said while chewing: "Yun'er, if you have more ideas, then you Find a difficult drinking order."

Song Yun'er said: "Let's do it this way. If the last word of the poem recited by the person in front is the first word of the ancient poem recited by the person behind. Moreover, it must be related to winter."

Bai Sumei nodded and said: "This is difficult, I'm afraid I can't do it, I'll wait to be punished."

Song Yun'er said: "Sister Bai, you're welcome, you're hiding something, I'm the one with the tinkle of half a bucket of water." Turning to Mrs. Bai, she said, "Auntie, tell me first."

Mrs. Bai was also modest, and chanted: "Sorrowful and cowardly, there will be willows every year, and sadness will be everywhere." This is a sentence in Zhang Lei's "Winter Miscellaneous".

"Mei? Mei?~" Yang Qiuchi frowned. He didn't have many ancient poems in his head. He couldn't think of it for a while, so he just gave up and went to serve the wine glass. Song Yuner stopped him: "Wait, brother, let go You are free, and you are allowed to use homonyms."

oh?That's about the same, you have to think about it, but at this moment, I already remembered an ancient poem that begins with the word plum, and said with a smile: "Who wants you to let me go!" Coughed twice, shook his head and said: "Mei Xu Xun Xue is three points white, but Xue is inferior to Mei Duanxiang."

"Hee hee~!" Song Yun'er laughed again: "Brother, you don't have to be so direct if you want to praise sister-in-law and sister Bai?"

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, and asked, "What happened to me?"

"The poem you just memorized was clearly a compliment to Sister Bai and Sister Xiaoxue."

"How can I praise them?"

"Mei Xu is inferior to Xue Xue by three points. That is to say, in terms of appearance, sister Bai is not as white as sister-in-law Xiaoxue, but Xue is inferior to Mei Duanxiang. That is to say, in terms of talent and learning, sister-in-law Xiaoxue is not as white as sister Bai. Are you here?" Praise them for being smart and beautiful, right?" Song Yuner blinked her eyes.

"Nonsense! Gossiping!" Yang Qiuchi laughed.She thought to herself, not to mention, this Song Yun'er can really break, and she can even hit the point.

Song Yun'er said again: "Actually, if sister Xiaoxue can get rid of the black spot on her face, she can be regarded as a stunning beauty. I dare not say that she must be better than sister Bai, at least better than me..."

Speaking of this, the smile on Song Yuner's face suddenly disappeared, as if she was listening to something.

"What's wrong? Yun'er." Yang Qiuchi asked.

Song Yun'er said: "There are cries, the cries of several people."

Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears, "No!" Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yun'er suspiciously, and after a while, the carriage drove forward again, and sure enough, there was a faint cry in the wind: "I My son...! Wake up...! Woohoo..." The cry was miserable.

Yang Qiuchi opened a corner of the front curtain and stuck his head out to look outside.The biting cold wind made Yang Qiuchi almost unable to open his eyes, but he still vaguely saw a group of people surrounded by the grass on the ridge of the field in the distance.

Song Yuner's head stuck out from under Yang Qiuchi's chin: "Brother, what did you see? What's going on?"

"Not very clear, can't see clearly."

The carriage drove closer and closer, and I gradually saw clearly that seven or eight people, old and young, were crying on the barren grass on the field ridge in the distance.Yang Qiuchi and his carriage galloped past quickly, and after that, the group of people were blocked by the carriage.

Yang Qiuchi withdrew his head, and the little girl Yuechan asked curiously, "Master, what did you see?"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "I can't see clearly, there are many people around the field ridge in the distance, and the carriage is running too fast."

Song Yun'er said: "I can see clearly, there is an old man sitting on the grass in the middle of the crowd, holding a child in his arms, seven or eight years old, seems to be dead, motionless, with his head and hands drooping."

Yang Qiuchi snorted, frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Song Yuner asked.

The maid Yuechan heard the words and had already opened the curtain and called the handlebars to stop the carriage.

Yang Qiuchi said: "The crowd is surrounded by cultivated land, it doesn't seem like they are burying a child there, so the group of people don't seem to be burying a child. The village is at the foot of a small hill in the distance, and they came here to cry, which means that the child is very sad. There may have been an accident, perhaps murdered. Let's go and see!"

When Song Yun'er heard that there was a murder, her chance to be a hero came again, her eyes lit up, she lifted the door curtain and jumped out of the carriage.Yang Qiuchi said to Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter: "Mrs. Bai, Miss Bai, you two wait in the carriage. Let's go and see what's going on." Then he also got out of the carriage.

As soon as Yang Qiuchi's carriage stopped, Nan Gongxiong, who was leading the way, came back with two guards on horseback, and asked, "My lord, what happened?"

As Yang Qiuchi walked towards the crowd, he said, "There may be a homicide over there, I'll go and have a look."

Nangong Xiongfei got off the horse and said: "My lord, be careful, I will send someone to guard first." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to the guards in Jin Yiwei who followed them, and those guards had already heard their conversation, and trotted to the crowd with their hands on the handles of their knives .

When Yang Qiuchi approached the crowd, the villagers had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to welcome the elder.As expected, one of the old men was holding a child across his arms. The child was wearing a green cloth jacket with blood on his forehead, corners of his mouth, neck and chest.

A few guards in brocade clothes stood aside with their hands on the hilts of their knives, staring at these people, while the others stood guard on the outside, looking around, watching every passerby with vigilance.The rest of the brocade guards spread out around the convoy, protecting the large carts of luggage.

Master Jin and Master Long also got out of the carriage and approached.

Yang Qiuchi looked at the child in the old man's hand and asked, "Old man, what happened."

"Reporting to the master: I don't know who beat my son to death. Woohoo." The old man cried while hugging his son's limp corpse.Several men, women and children nearby were also sobbing.

Yang Qiuchi was not wearing an official uniform, but this person knew that Yang Qiuchi was an official, apparently it was said by Jin Yiwei who came in front.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Put the child down and let me check it."

"Yes." The old man put the child's body on the ground.
