Chapter 13 Balance
At this time, the residents of Xijing are usually very busy, smart women are cooking, passers-by are rushing home, children are waiting to eat, and county captains patrolling the streets are busy getting medicine for apprentices.
The pharmacy was closed with only one small door left, and it looked dark inside at first glance.The medicine boy lit the lamp, and the flames blazed up, but the hall was still not very clear.Across the dark counter, Pei Qu handed over the prescription and said, "Please hurry up."
He turned his head, but couldn't see Nanshan's figure, he hurriedly took two steps outside, and warned: "Don't go far."
Nanshan was standing by the door at this moment, watching passers-by rushing on the street, listening to the street drum "dong dong", counting the time in his heart.It was too late for her calculations, so she turned around and called in, saying: "Teacher, give it to me tomorrow, I have to go back first, Feng Niang is still waiting for me."
After finishing speaking, she took the horse and was about to leave, but before she could get on the horse, Pei Qu rushed out from the narrow gate.She froze for a moment, Pei Qu had already controlled her reins, and asked her, "Are you avoiding medical treatment?"
Nanshan shook his head and said, "No, the students are just going back."
With her innocent face, Pei Qu immediately lost his temper, but he stopped going into the pharmacy and waited outside with her.
These days, when Pei Qu is looking for someone to see a doctor for her, Nan Shan always pushes her back.Today, I finally persuaded her to go to see a famous doctor in Xijing, and came to get the medicine with the prescription, but she always seemed to be absent-minded and ready to leave at any time, which really made people suspicious.
The street drums rang a few more times, but Nanshan was not in a hurry anymore.Left and right couldn't rush back in an open and honest manner, and there was nothing urgent, but she was not very willing to climb over the wall today.
The medicine boy finally brought out the medicine bag slowly, Nanshan took the medicine bag and thanked him, then got on his horse and galloped away.She galloped in the fiery red sunset of Xijing, her posture was like an invincible warrior.Pei Qu chased after her and told her to slow down so as not to bump into someone, but she rode fast like a vigorous cavalry.
The wind passed by from both sides, and there was still some fine dust. Nanshan closed his eyes and opened them quickly, and suddenly reined in the reins.
The soldiers locked the door of the workshop mercilessly, alas, it was only one step away.
She turned the horse's head, and Pei Qu also ran in front of her.The two horses got closer and rubbed each other's ears, but the teacher and student on the horses faced each other in the twilight.
Nan Shan suddenly got off his horse and said kindly, "Teacher, take the horse to the residence shop. I'll find a way to get out when it gets dark."
"Eat first." Pei Qu roundabout rejected her proposal.Although he knew she was very skilled, it was no fun to flip around in case she was caught.
Nanshan's stomach was already empty, so he thought about finding a restaurant in the workshop to fill his stomach, and it was just getting dark, so he agreed.When the two of them took their horses and were about to leave, there was a movement at the gate of the workshop.Looking back, Fang Zu was hurriedly opening the door.Nanshan saw at a glance that the privileged carriage slowly driving in belonged to Grand Master Yuan.
Yuan Taishi took back the goldfish bag from Fang Zuo at this time, and happened to catch a glimpse of Pei Qu's master and apprentice through the small window.
The old guy lifted the curtain of the car with a smile, and talked to Pei: "Yunqi can't go back, right?"
Pei Channel: "Going back to the grand master, the younger generation didn't count the time, so I really can't go back."
Grand Master Yuan kindly invited: "Come and sit at the old man's house?"
Pei Qu looked at Nanshan beside him.
Grand Master Yuan understood: "Let's go with the southern media officials."
Nanshan does not reject the matter of Cengfan, not to mention Shen Fengge revealed to her last time that Yuan Taishi is actually his mentor, if she has something in the future, she can ask Yuan Taishi for help.So she had enough reason to believe that Grand Master Yuan knew her details.In the face of people who know their details, it is useless to be vigilant, it is better to let nature take its course.
She leaned over to thank her, Grand Master Yuan put down the curtain, held down his beard, and the carriage moved forward leisurely.
The teacher and the student followed closely behind and arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion without any haste.
The sky had completely darkened, and all the lanterns in the Grand Master's Mansion were lit.The grand master went in first, and the guests were led to tea by the servants.After the master over there changed his clothes and packed up and arrived in the middle hall, the deacon led the two of them there.
The food was served one after another, and Nanshan and other grand masters and teachers who were sitting at the bottom moved their chopsticks, and then they buried their heads in eating.Grand Master Yuan glanced at her from time to time, this girl has finally grown her wings, she is no longer the vulnerable Xiao Chaoge.
It's rare for the Li family to produce such a genius, but it's a pity...
Yuan Taishi sighed in his heart, but he didn't feel too regretful.
His health was deteriorating, and although he was still holding on, he was well aware of his condition.At this age, it seems that it is really time to go.For one dinner, Grand Master Yuan ate very little, but a certain child next to him kept his head buried in eating all the food in the bowl.
Yuan Taishi said: "The Southern media official stayed in the mansion after dinner, and the old man's granddaughter's marriage is entrusted to the Southern media official."
"what?"
"She insists on finding someone like the black-hearted Yushi Taizhu. The old man can't say no to her. Please persuade her more." The cunning Grand Master Yuan pursed his dry lips and stood up, then immediately turned to Pei Qu, "Yunqi, come quickly!" , the old man hasn't played chess with you for a long time, let's play another game."
The old man walked out as he spoke, and Pei Qu hurriedly followed.Walking to the corridor, he stepped forward to give Grand Master Yuan a hand. Grand Master Yuan smiled and said, "Yun Qi is so caring, I can see that this old man really needs someone to help me. I'm old and useless—" he said Turning your head, looking at Pei Qu, sighed, "That's all you can do. You're first-rate in identifying details, but you're always used to using defense as offense. That's not going to work."
Pei Qu responded and helped him to the west hall.The servant lit the incense and was about to set the chessboard, but Grand Master Yuan waved him out.Taishi Yuan adjusted the corner of his robe, sat down casually, and asked Pei Qu to sit down as well, and then began to take chess pieces and set them on the chessboard.
The general Hengdao immediately placed in front of the formation, followed by six pawns, the king was behind the formation, with a military division on the left and a heavenly horse on the right, and the carriages on both sides went straight to confuse the corners of the enemy's formation.After putting everything together, it was full of murderous intent.
Pei Qu likes Go better than Chess, but the old man probably has played too much with the battlefield, so he has devoted his whole life to Chess, and it is said that his chess skills are unrivaled.
The murderous aura was fierce at the beginning, and Pei Qu suddenly felt that he was on the battlefield, especially vigilant.Grand Master Yuan knew very well that the brat sitting across from him was a master in the art of dismantling moves, and playing chess with him was also a great pleasure, so he immediately devoted himself to it and exhausted all his thoughts.
Although Pei Qu's calculations on the chess game have reached an unbelievable level, Taishi Yuan has not spent so many years in vain. When both sides were sweating, Pei Qu finally withdrew his hand.
An endgame.
Grand Master Yuan raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, and said: "Stinky boy, I haven't done anything else these years but play chess."
One sentence seems to be ridiculed, but it expresses the loneliness and frustration in it.
Pei Qu didn't care, he looked down at the chessboard, and suddenly heard Grand Master Yuan ask again: "Yun Qi, what do you think of the pawns on the chessboard?"
Pei Qu replied indifferently: "The six soldiers go and never return, they only advance and never retreat. But the river is waste, and going too deep is the end of the crossbow. It seems useless, but it is necessary."
Grand Master Yuan smiled, took the remaining pawn on the chessboard, and said: "This pawn has far-reaching intentions."
"Juniors ask for a solution."
"A person who knows how to use pawns can make them cross the river and bite the enemy, and..." Grand Master Yuan actually took the pawns back, "block it for myself."
How can pawns go back?Pei Qu said: "This is against the rules."
"Brat, the rules are made by man, he can change it if he wants!"
Grand Master Yuan woke up the dreamer, Pei Qu raised his head suddenly, met the old grand master's meaningful expression, and said slowly: "Is the pawn that the Holy Majesty is using right now, Shiro?"
Send him out to fight and bite, and then bring him back to block it?But what can Pei Liangchun block?
Grand Master Yuan played chess with Pei Qu to discuss matters, while a group of servants and maidservants gathered in the other side hall, surrounded Nanshan and Yuan Jiayan, and talked about their marriage.
Yuan Jiayan is the granddaughter of Grand Master Yuan.Because he is the youngest child, he should be pampered extra, and he is smart and smart, and he has won countless favors from the elders in the house.It's just... Nanshan pressed his temples and felt a little headache.
She knew about this little guy from Yuan Taishi's family, and she was shocked when Yuan Taishi entrusted her with the marriage of the little guy just now, because this little baby is only eight years old this year, far from the age of marriage...
The servants dispersed after consulting, only Nanshan and Yuan Jiayan were left sitting in the hall, separated by a very small low table.
The little guy looked up at Nanshan solemnly, his eyes were wide open, and he spoke very maturely: "Does my sister know someone who is more powerful than Mr. Shen? Anyone who is more powerful than him is an old man."
Nanshan thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was futile to beat around the bush with such a child, so he replied bluntly, "But when you grow up, the host will be an old man."
"It doesn't matter." The little guy seems to have figured this out a long time ago, "That will be many years later, and I will definitely not like him when he becomes an old man. But now I haven't grown up yet, and he is not an old man yet , it doesn’t prevent me from liking it.”
Nanshan thought to herself, Little Liuniang of the Yuan family is really a straightforward child, how can she persuade her?
Little Liuniang held her chin and thought about it seriously: "Don't my sister like Master Shen?"
"do not like."
Little Sixteen was startled and said, "Why?!"
"Because of bad temper, bad personality, and..." Nanshan's mind flashed, "I especially like to eat fish and carp."
"Ah?" Xiaoliu Niang obviously didn't have a deep understanding of the likes and dislikes of the object of admiration, she opened her mouth slightly in shock, then slowly closed it, and said seriously, "Eating fish and carp will kill you, Grandpa said that some people died of eating fish carp a few years ago. I hate fish carp!"
Well, it’s better to hate Wujiwu, and by the way hate the host who loves to eat fish and carp.But Little Sixiniang thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Grandfather said to respect other people's likes and dislikes in eating, otherwise we can't agree on anything."
Nanshan suddenly felt that the donkeys were poor.She couldn't deal with an eight-year-old girl, so she gave up on herself in frustration: "Then Liuniang should continue to admire the host."
The little girl's eyes lit up: "Then can I see him?!"
"Didn't Liu Niang see him?" Why did she like him so much... Nanshan looked sad.
"I haven't seen him once." Little Liuniang curled her lips, and suddenly said in a very sensible whisper, "They say he doesn't have a good relationship with my family."
It seems that Grand Master Yuan is the master's mentor, which is indeed a secret that few people know.
"If the relationship is not good, it will be inconvenient to meet."
Little Liuniang's face was suddenly full of serious melancholy, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "But I just want to meet... It is said that he can fly over the wall like in the fairy tales..."
"Is this why you want to meet?"
Little Sixteen Niang nodded: "It's amazing, isn't it? My grandfather was a commander in chief, but he can't fly over the wall!"
Nanshan thought silently, in fact, I can also "fly over the wall", don't be obsessed with that black-hearted host!
Because Nanshan only kept these words in his stomach, the little Liuniang on the opposite side was very serious and melancholy for a while.Only the sound of frogs could be heard around, Little Liuniang turned her head to look outside, then turned back suddenly, looked at Nanshan and asked, "Don't you think my sister has someone she likes?"
Nanshan shook his head cheerfully.
"How could there be no one she likes?" Little Liuniang thought it was impossible, "My mother said that every girl has a hero she admires in her heart."
"Big hero?" Nanshan thought about it quickly, but found nothing.She has lived to this state, and she no longer has any thoughts of "being saved" in her heart, because she can only rely on herself for everything, and cannot expect others to lend a hand.Feng Niang can be regarded as one of her weaknesses, but other than that, she seems to be afraid of nothing and doesn't need to ask for anything.
Seeing her sitting upright thinking hard, little Liuniang said, "Didn't my sister have a big hero in her heart when I was my age?"
The little girl looked at her earnestly, Nan Shan closed his eyes and opened them again, and slowly replied: "Yes."
"Is it also able to fly over the wall?"
Fly over the roof?I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken.Pei Jun has always been a weak scholar. If he hadn't been practicing outside these years, he might still be inactive, and he wouldn't even be able to ride a horse...
So Nanshan shook his head.
The little girl was immediately disappointed with the great hero in Nanshan's heart, and said with a little contempt: "I can't fly over walls..." But she didn't forget to try to save Nanshan's face, saying, "Then it must be proficient in other things?"
"Well, I can grow vegetables."
"What kind of hero is growing vegetables..." Little Liuniang muttered, "Does my sister actually like farmers?"
"No, I'm also good at reading."
Liu Niang thought about it seriously: "People who read books will be stupid."
"In this way, it seems to be a little bit." Because sitting in front of him was a little girl who had not experienced much in the world, and after chatting for a long time, she was unknowingly brought into her simple world.Nanshan said sincerely, "At that time, he went to search for corpses in the pile of dead people in the middle of the night."
Sixteen Niang made a slightly horrified expression: "There is such a terrible eccentricity! Sister, stop talking!"
"Well, let's not talk." Nanshan stopped talking with a smile.
There are two guys standing outside at this time listening to the wall.Pei Qu had been standing in the corridor for a long time, but at this moment, Grand Master Yuan grabbed him and led him to the west.It wasn't until they were far away that Nanshan definitely couldn't hear him, so the old grand master stopped and stood up straight and asked Pei Qu: "The hero that the Southern media official said...is that you?"
Pei Qu wasn't very sure at first, but after hearing her talk about growing vegetables and digging through corpses among the dead, he was probably sure.
"It's a junior."
"It's useless!" Grand Master Yuan emphasized that it was useless again, and continued, "Even if you were the hero in her heart before, it's not like you now, just like Xiaoliu. Like a great hero!" The old man seemed to be very disappointed with this junior, "You really have spent all these years in vain."
"The juniors know."
"It's useless to know, you can't be a great hero anymore. She's now much higher than you, and she's no longer a little girl, so—" the old man poked Pei Qu and said bitterly, "Put away your self-righteous little thoughts, and treat her as an adult from now on, don't just think about how to catch her back and keep her in captivity."
Pei Qu thought about it seriously.
Sir, is 17 considered an adult?
But he only struggled for a while, and immediately reversed the situation, but asked Grand Master Yuan calmly: "The Grand Master seems to know who she is?" Extra exhortation?This is clearly the appearance of knowing the truth about her identity.
The old man pretended to be confused: "Who is so and so? Why don't I know, I only know that she is the most powerful matchmaker in Chang'an City."
Master Yuan is as strict as Guan Bai.It was indeed difficult to get something out of these old men's mouths, but it was not in vain. At least they knew that they were all guarding a certain secret for Nanshan, and he couldn't let him know about it.
It was getting late, Pei Qu was still thinking about making medicine for his apprentice, and Yuan Taishi was worried that Liu Niang would continue to talk nonsense with Nanshan, so the two went their separate ways and parted ways.
After Xiaoliu Niang left, Nanshan was still sitting in the hall, and many emotions from many years ago surged in, like a tide, but the strange taste of the years was separated.
She was lost in thought, and suddenly tilted her head, and saw Pei Qu come in with a medicine bowl.
He walked straight over, put the medicine bowl on the low table, then sat down on the opposite side in a serious manner, raised his head and said, "Drink the medicine while it's hot."
Nan Shan looked down at the medicine bowl, and said to himself, "Will the taste come back after drinking this medicine?"
Her tone was very complicated, full of expectation at first glance, but there was a hint of self-abandonment in it. The reason for her disguise was probably because she didn't want to spoil the teacher's interest.
But Pei Qu said sincerely: "Try to know."
Nanshan obediently picked up the bowl and drank it heartily.Nothing but a warm feeling in the mouth.There was only one last sip left in the bowl, she stared at the black dot at the bottom of the bowl for a long while, and her mind had already made many twists and turns.
She stood up suddenly, drank the medicine, bent down in a logical manner, and even skillfully lifted the chin of someone who was in shock, and immediately moved her lips together.The soft lips pressed against each other, and Pei Qu's mind was a mess. His studious apprentice even pried open his lips at this moment, allowing him to taste the bitter taste of the medicinal soup.
The sound of the medicine bowl being put down steadily sounded in the air, Pei Qu suddenly recovered, but Nan Shan did not let go, she even bit his lip.The two breathed together, Pei Qu's body was slightly stiff, and he actually leaned back slightly. At this moment, Nan Shan suddenly let go of his hand, and his lips also left him.She wiped the corners of her mouth with her fingers as if she had just drank human blood, and still approached Pei Qu, asking, "Does the teacher feel bitter?"
"Bitter." Although Pei Qu's tone was calm, his expression was tense, and even his breathing rhythm was quite wrong.
He made it clear that he was frightened by such an apprentice, and Nanshan was no exception.Her heart beat faster than anyone else, but her face was very calm, like a veteran in love.
She asked lightly: "Teacher likes to kiss like this?"
"I like it." Pei Qu tried to control his emotions and said shamelessly.
"So the teacher likes me? Did you say you wanted to marry me earlier because you like me?"
As a master who is different from the outside and the inside, Pei Qu closed his lips tightly, and quickly struggled to say: "Yes."
"Don't you want to protect me because you see me pitiful?"
"No."
"Isn't it because I look like Chaoge?"
"No."
"fraud."
Pei Qu raised his eyes suddenly, and saw her dark eyes right in front of him, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
She immediately emphasized it again: "The teacher is a liar. It's clearly because she thinks I'm pitiful and like Chaoge, so she's thinking about marrying me back. I'm not a child—" she finished in one breath, He sat down suddenly, put his hands under the table, and pressed the mattress tightly on the ground, so as not to be seen trembling.
But she still stared at Pei Qu intently and said, "I'm already an adult."
Pei Qu didn't quite remember how he ended the conversation last night, because Nanshan's actions shocked him so much that he almost lost the ability to argue.Moreover, the bitter taste of the decoction seemed to never dissipate in his mouth.He thought about it for almost a whole night, but he could only come to the conclusion that "students are unhappy because of his recent behavior".
I vaguely remember his student saying sternly last night, "Teacher is nine years older than me. He is really too old to talk about." It's okay to feel sorry for Chao Ge, but don't involve me", "I'm very busy, please don't do this again, teacher" and other remarks that violate the way of respecting teachers.
Then she got up very smartly and left, leaving him with an empty bowl and questions all night long.Pei Qu probably didn't think that this matter could get out of control. After deep reflection, he seemed to wake up after being poured by cold water, and he was much calmer when he woke up in the morning.
"Because I know she is undoubtedly Chao Ge", so many judgments and behaviors have inappropriate deviations, which makes her angry.
There is a lot of dew in the morning flowers, and the dew will disappear without a trace when the sun comes out.The lotus flower buds are still waiting quietly in the tank, and after a night of hard work, they failed to bloom.It's just that the lotus that doesn't bloom in the morning probably won't bloom again this day.At this time, the Grand Master's mansion was full of busy servants, someone brought him breakfast, and he asked casually, "Is the Southern media official still there?"
The little servant said: "The Southern Media Officer has something to do and left, oh, he also took Sixteen Niang along with him."
"Do you know where you went?"
The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Where is it not knowing, it is clearly pretending to be stupid.Pei Qu didn't ask any more questions, and thought for a moment while having breakfast, thinking that Nanshan might be avoiding him on purpose, so he didn't look for her when he left the Grand Master's Mansion, but went straight back to Wannian County.
Several long scrolls are placed on the Gaozu case of the public housing, and when unfolded, it becomes the Wannianfang Lipu.Pei Qu took the top scroll and spread it out bit by bit... There is only one square left to finish the painting.
These long scrolls bring together the efforts of large and small animals.Nanshan's energy on this matter is naturally not ambiguous. She wanted to help him, and she did help him. Besides, the two of them cooperated happily during this period, and even had a tacit understanding of the same mind.
Pei Qu put away the long scroll and went out. Pei Guangben rolled up the curtain of the public room, took a peek outside, and muttered softly: "This brat is really eyeing Xiaoshanshan, it's really terrible!"
"Pei Shaofu really doesn't think he's too old!" The young clerk next to him said angrily, "It's almost thirty, so it's time to find someone of the same age!"
Pei Guangben turned his head and stared: "Even if my Xiaoshanshan didn't marry that stinky boy, he wouldn't give it to you, so you can take a rest."
The scribe was not convinced: "Pei Mingfu's words are wrong, and the Southern media official is not a child of Pei's family. Does the Mingfu have the right to take care of it?"
"Hmph." Pei Guangben snorted coldly, "It's as if I can chase Xiao Shanshan over without you." He pointed mercilessly at the official documents written by his subordinates, "Look at your handwriting! It's so bad! How can you be worthy!" Pei Guang stood up abruptly, turned away with a wave of his sleeves.
While he was thinking about how to destroy the relationship between the two, Nanshan was waiting outside Guangzhai Temple, with a little boy beside him.
Little Liu Niang wore her cousin's clothes, pretended to be a boy, and followed Nanshan in Guangzhaifang to wait for the regular attendance to end.
Guangzhai Temple is adjacent to Danfeng Gate, and it is the place where courtiers wait for the palace gate to open in the morning.And this wide street outside Guangzhai Temple is the only way for the officials to go back to each yamen.
Originally, Nanshan would not take her out, but he couldn't bear the sweet flattery and requests from Little Sixteen Niang, and the grand master acquiesced to the little girl's behavior, so Nanshan had no choice but to dress her up as a kid to bring her out. come out.
At this time, the meal in the corridor was over, and the permanent counselors left the palace one after another to return to their respective yamen.There are horses and carts on the street, occasionally a few unrestrained and poor donkeys, and dignified and decent officials in official uniforms.
Occasionally, Chang Shen didn't have enough to eat in the official gallery, and ran to the street to buy food and go to the yamen to eat, but they did it secretly and quickly, for fear that the censor would bump into Shen Yiben and say something like "It's not good for the Holy Majesty to give food." It's delicious, I have to eat bad food from outside." The annoying words.
Little Liuniang poked her head out of the shop, still a little timid.She held a cup of cold drink in her hand, and because the sun was so poisonous, a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.Nanshan leaned over to wipe her forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "Liu Niang, don't poke your head outside anymore, it won't look good if your face is flushed and sweaty, and you will be disgusted by the unscrupulous host."
"This official is black in the eyes of Southern Media officials?"
The cold winter wind-like voice came from behind, and Nanshan's heart skipped a beat immediately when she heard the sound. She didn't dare to turn her head back, but Xiao Liuniang looked up at the person behind her suspiciously.
Little Liuniang seemed to have figured it out suddenly, so she jumped up, handed over the cold drink in a hurry, and said, "I haven't drank it yet, so--I'll give it to the host...uncle the host to drink... that's it." .”
She stuttered and obviously lost her usual confidence, but she called the word "Uncle" without any ambiguity.
Shen Fengge obviously didn't like the cold drink handed by the child, and sat down on the other side of the low table Shi Shiran, only then did Nanshan realize that there was another person behind him.Her expression could not be regarded as relaxed, because she could tell from the shallow and deliberate coughing that the other person behind her was Pei Liangchun.
Pei Liangchun was not very involved with officials, and he appeared here just to catch some officials' inappropriate behavior, so he did not expect to meet Shen Fengge.Shen Fengge said that the weather is too hot and he wants to drink cold drinks. As a subordinate official, no matter how much he dislikes Shangguan, he can only honestly follow him to drink cold drinks.
It was a coincidence that before walking a few steps, the two of them saw Nanshan sitting outside the shop at the same time.Shen Fengge walked over directly, and Pei Liangchun followed quietly, until he got behind her, and heard her address of "Taiwan Master Black Heart", Shen Fengge spoke lightly.
Then Nanshan was like a tortoise, saying nothing, as if he had made a big mistake.
She was never used to seeing Shen Fengge in public. The last time it was at the official media yamen, and the last time it was a banquet in the Furong Garden. This time... there was another onlooker, Pei Liangchun, and she felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
But it wasn't over yet, just as Pei Liangchun sat down, another voice came from not far away, it was Xu Miaowen.
"It's strange." Xu Miaowen also came over and sat down, smoothed the official uniform, raised his head and continued, "You can come out to drink cold drinks at Yushitai, so you won't be dismissed if you drink one?"
After Xu Miaowen finished speaking, she rolled her eyes, obviously for Pei Liangchun.He looked down on Pei Liangchun's usual appearance of "bullying others" and "fake public affairs for personal gain", so he took the opportunity to vent his anger today.
Little Sixteen Niang frowned.She originally thought that it would be fine if it was just Nanshan's sister, but now that there are so many annoying adults here, it is really uncomfortable.
Xu Miaowen glanced at her quickly, completely ignoring her boyish attire, and said to Nanshan: "Hey, is the Nanshan media official bringing the illegitimate daughter out for a cold drink? Or are you here to bring the child to find daddy?"
This joke aroused the displeasure of three people, one was Nanshan, the other was Shen Fengge, and the third was the angry little Liuniang.Sixteen Niang glared at him restrainedly, and said coldly: "Uncle Guan Ren knows that too many words will lead to mistakes, and you will even be impeached if you say the wrong thing?"
Xu Miaowen held back for a moment.
He thought about it quickly, this girl must be Shen Fengge's daughter!It must be!
God, the old virgin has such a big daughter!He tried his best to distinguish between his eyebrows and eyes, but he still looked like——a lot like...
Even Pei Liangchun looked over, he took a few glances and sat upright again, thinking that this matter can be dug deeper, maybe Shen Fengge really has such a girl hiding outside so that no one will know about it!
Shen Fengge's expression was the most normal, he looked at the cute little girl with delicate features indifferently, and said to the shopkeeper who had been waiting for a long time, "A cup of ebony drink."
"Buttermilk." Pei Liangchun.
"Mulberry leaf drink!" Xu Miaowen.
"White plum drink..." Nan Shan looked at the empty cup in front of him and said cautiously.
And Xiaoliu Niang took a sip of the cold buttermilk, and said dissatisfied: "I want to eat a bowl of Lengtao." As she spoke, she looked at Shen Fengge eagerly, and Shen Fengge put the money on the low table coldly , "Small bowl of locust leaves are washed cold."
"I want a big one." Little Liuniang said sullenly, lowering her head and nibbling on the rim of the cup.
"Lengtao locust leaves in a big bowl." Shen Fengge added another copper plate.
The shopkeeper went to work immediately, while Xiaoliu Niang continued to nibble on the rim of the cup with her head down.Xu Miaowen turned to look at her, and asked desperately, "Whose child is it?"
Little Liuniang answered him coldly: "It's no good for the official uncle to know this. People who are too curious will be unlucky."
Xu Miaowen held back and tried hard to hold back.Mulberry leaf drink, come on, let me cool down, or I will fight this kid to the end!
Fortunately, Liangyin came on the stage in time to save the situation, while the little girl was holding a large bowl of locust tree leaf Lengtao and chomping on it, looking like a ghost.In the morning, her nurse called her to eat, but she refused desperately, and followed Nanshan out with an empty stomach. Naturally, she was very hungry now.
So several adults watched a child boldly eating the fresh and green Lengtao, and were speechless for a while.In the end, it was Shen Fengge who spoke first: "The Southern media official said at the banquet in Furong Garden that he had chosen a suitable daughter for me. I haven't heard any news so far. Could it be a lie?"
Nanshan was wailing inwardly, Master, that was a temporary excuse, can't you hear it?Now there is Xu Miaowen on the left and Pei Liangchun on the right, so don't make such a problem for me on this occasion!
"Did sister tell the host uncle about him?" Little Liuniang asked while eating Lengtao.
"So..." Nanshan noticed the gazes from all sides, and he was quickly making up a lie in his heart.
But before she could say it, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the street.Xu Miaowen looked at it, and suddenly frowned, Jin Wuwei is so menacing, what is he going to do?
"There! There she is!"
(End of this chapter)
At this time, the residents of Xijing are usually very busy, smart women are cooking, passers-by are rushing home, children are waiting to eat, and county captains patrolling the streets are busy getting medicine for apprentices.
The pharmacy was closed with only one small door left, and it looked dark inside at first glance.The medicine boy lit the lamp, and the flames blazed up, but the hall was still not very clear.Across the dark counter, Pei Qu handed over the prescription and said, "Please hurry up."
He turned his head, but couldn't see Nanshan's figure, he hurriedly took two steps outside, and warned: "Don't go far."
Nanshan was standing by the door at this moment, watching passers-by rushing on the street, listening to the street drum "dong dong", counting the time in his heart.It was too late for her calculations, so she turned around and called in, saying: "Teacher, give it to me tomorrow, I have to go back first, Feng Niang is still waiting for me."
After finishing speaking, she took the horse and was about to leave, but before she could get on the horse, Pei Qu rushed out from the narrow gate.She froze for a moment, Pei Qu had already controlled her reins, and asked her, "Are you avoiding medical treatment?"
Nanshan shook his head and said, "No, the students are just going back."
With her innocent face, Pei Qu immediately lost his temper, but he stopped going into the pharmacy and waited outside with her.
These days, when Pei Qu is looking for someone to see a doctor for her, Nan Shan always pushes her back.Today, I finally persuaded her to go to see a famous doctor in Xijing, and came to get the medicine with the prescription, but she always seemed to be absent-minded and ready to leave at any time, which really made people suspicious.
The street drums rang a few more times, but Nanshan was not in a hurry anymore.Left and right couldn't rush back in an open and honest manner, and there was nothing urgent, but she was not very willing to climb over the wall today.
The medicine boy finally brought out the medicine bag slowly, Nanshan took the medicine bag and thanked him, then got on his horse and galloped away.She galloped in the fiery red sunset of Xijing, her posture was like an invincible warrior.Pei Qu chased after her and told her to slow down so as not to bump into someone, but she rode fast like a vigorous cavalry.
The wind passed by from both sides, and there was still some fine dust. Nanshan closed his eyes and opened them quickly, and suddenly reined in the reins.
The soldiers locked the door of the workshop mercilessly, alas, it was only one step away.
She turned the horse's head, and Pei Qu also ran in front of her.The two horses got closer and rubbed each other's ears, but the teacher and student on the horses faced each other in the twilight.
Nan Shan suddenly got off his horse and said kindly, "Teacher, take the horse to the residence shop. I'll find a way to get out when it gets dark."
"Eat first." Pei Qu roundabout rejected her proposal.Although he knew she was very skilled, it was no fun to flip around in case she was caught.
Nanshan's stomach was already empty, so he thought about finding a restaurant in the workshop to fill his stomach, and it was just getting dark, so he agreed.When the two of them took their horses and were about to leave, there was a movement at the gate of the workshop.Looking back, Fang Zu was hurriedly opening the door.Nanshan saw at a glance that the privileged carriage slowly driving in belonged to Grand Master Yuan.
Yuan Taishi took back the goldfish bag from Fang Zuo at this time, and happened to catch a glimpse of Pei Qu's master and apprentice through the small window.
The old guy lifted the curtain of the car with a smile, and talked to Pei: "Yunqi can't go back, right?"
Pei Channel: "Going back to the grand master, the younger generation didn't count the time, so I really can't go back."
Grand Master Yuan kindly invited: "Come and sit at the old man's house?"
Pei Qu looked at Nanshan beside him.
Grand Master Yuan understood: "Let's go with the southern media officials."
Nanshan does not reject the matter of Cengfan, not to mention Shen Fengge revealed to her last time that Yuan Taishi is actually his mentor, if she has something in the future, she can ask Yuan Taishi for help.So she had enough reason to believe that Grand Master Yuan knew her details.In the face of people who know their details, it is useless to be vigilant, it is better to let nature take its course.
She leaned over to thank her, Grand Master Yuan put down the curtain, held down his beard, and the carriage moved forward leisurely.
The teacher and the student followed closely behind and arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion without any haste.
The sky had completely darkened, and all the lanterns in the Grand Master's Mansion were lit.The grand master went in first, and the guests were led to tea by the servants.After the master over there changed his clothes and packed up and arrived in the middle hall, the deacon led the two of them there.
The food was served one after another, and Nanshan and other grand masters and teachers who were sitting at the bottom moved their chopsticks, and then they buried their heads in eating.Grand Master Yuan glanced at her from time to time, this girl has finally grown her wings, she is no longer the vulnerable Xiao Chaoge.
It's rare for the Li family to produce such a genius, but it's a pity...
Yuan Taishi sighed in his heart, but he didn't feel too regretful.
His health was deteriorating, and although he was still holding on, he was well aware of his condition.At this age, it seems that it is really time to go.For one dinner, Grand Master Yuan ate very little, but a certain child next to him kept his head buried in eating all the food in the bowl.
Yuan Taishi said: "The Southern media official stayed in the mansion after dinner, and the old man's granddaughter's marriage is entrusted to the Southern media official."
"what?"
"She insists on finding someone like the black-hearted Yushi Taizhu. The old man can't say no to her. Please persuade her more." The cunning Grand Master Yuan pursed his dry lips and stood up, then immediately turned to Pei Qu, "Yunqi, come quickly!" , the old man hasn't played chess with you for a long time, let's play another game."
The old man walked out as he spoke, and Pei Qu hurriedly followed.Walking to the corridor, he stepped forward to give Grand Master Yuan a hand. Grand Master Yuan smiled and said, "Yun Qi is so caring, I can see that this old man really needs someone to help me. I'm old and useless—" he said Turning your head, looking at Pei Qu, sighed, "That's all you can do. You're first-rate in identifying details, but you're always used to using defense as offense. That's not going to work."
Pei Qu responded and helped him to the west hall.The servant lit the incense and was about to set the chessboard, but Grand Master Yuan waved him out.Taishi Yuan adjusted the corner of his robe, sat down casually, and asked Pei Qu to sit down as well, and then began to take chess pieces and set them on the chessboard.
The general Hengdao immediately placed in front of the formation, followed by six pawns, the king was behind the formation, with a military division on the left and a heavenly horse on the right, and the carriages on both sides went straight to confuse the corners of the enemy's formation.After putting everything together, it was full of murderous intent.
Pei Qu likes Go better than Chess, but the old man probably has played too much with the battlefield, so he has devoted his whole life to Chess, and it is said that his chess skills are unrivaled.
The murderous aura was fierce at the beginning, and Pei Qu suddenly felt that he was on the battlefield, especially vigilant.Grand Master Yuan knew very well that the brat sitting across from him was a master in the art of dismantling moves, and playing chess with him was also a great pleasure, so he immediately devoted himself to it and exhausted all his thoughts.
Although Pei Qu's calculations on the chess game have reached an unbelievable level, Taishi Yuan has not spent so many years in vain. When both sides were sweating, Pei Qu finally withdrew his hand.
An endgame.
Grand Master Yuan raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, and said: "Stinky boy, I haven't done anything else these years but play chess."
One sentence seems to be ridiculed, but it expresses the loneliness and frustration in it.
Pei Qu didn't care, he looked down at the chessboard, and suddenly heard Grand Master Yuan ask again: "Yun Qi, what do you think of the pawns on the chessboard?"
Pei Qu replied indifferently: "The six soldiers go and never return, they only advance and never retreat. But the river is waste, and going too deep is the end of the crossbow. It seems useless, but it is necessary."
Grand Master Yuan smiled, took the remaining pawn on the chessboard, and said: "This pawn has far-reaching intentions."
"Juniors ask for a solution."
"A person who knows how to use pawns can make them cross the river and bite the enemy, and..." Grand Master Yuan actually took the pawns back, "block it for myself."
How can pawns go back?Pei Qu said: "This is against the rules."
"Brat, the rules are made by man, he can change it if he wants!"
Grand Master Yuan woke up the dreamer, Pei Qu raised his head suddenly, met the old grand master's meaningful expression, and said slowly: "Is the pawn that the Holy Majesty is using right now, Shiro?"
Send him out to fight and bite, and then bring him back to block it?But what can Pei Liangchun block?
Grand Master Yuan played chess with Pei Qu to discuss matters, while a group of servants and maidservants gathered in the other side hall, surrounded Nanshan and Yuan Jiayan, and talked about their marriage.
Yuan Jiayan is the granddaughter of Grand Master Yuan.Because he is the youngest child, he should be pampered extra, and he is smart and smart, and he has won countless favors from the elders in the house.It's just... Nanshan pressed his temples and felt a little headache.
She knew about this little guy from Yuan Taishi's family, and she was shocked when Yuan Taishi entrusted her with the marriage of the little guy just now, because this little baby is only eight years old this year, far from the age of marriage...
The servants dispersed after consulting, only Nanshan and Yuan Jiayan were left sitting in the hall, separated by a very small low table.
The little guy looked up at Nanshan solemnly, his eyes were wide open, and he spoke very maturely: "Does my sister know someone who is more powerful than Mr. Shen? Anyone who is more powerful than him is an old man."
Nanshan thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was futile to beat around the bush with such a child, so he replied bluntly, "But when you grow up, the host will be an old man."
"It doesn't matter." The little guy seems to have figured this out a long time ago, "That will be many years later, and I will definitely not like him when he becomes an old man. But now I haven't grown up yet, and he is not an old man yet , it doesn’t prevent me from liking it.”
Nanshan thought to herself, Little Liuniang of the Yuan family is really a straightforward child, how can she persuade her?
Little Liuniang held her chin and thought about it seriously: "Don't my sister like Master Shen?"
"do not like."
Little Sixteen was startled and said, "Why?!"
"Because of bad temper, bad personality, and..." Nanshan's mind flashed, "I especially like to eat fish and carp."
"Ah?" Xiaoliu Niang obviously didn't have a deep understanding of the likes and dislikes of the object of admiration, she opened her mouth slightly in shock, then slowly closed it, and said seriously, "Eating fish and carp will kill you, Grandpa said that some people died of eating fish carp a few years ago. I hate fish carp!"
Well, it’s better to hate Wujiwu, and by the way hate the host who loves to eat fish and carp.But Little Sixiniang thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Grandfather said to respect other people's likes and dislikes in eating, otherwise we can't agree on anything."
Nanshan suddenly felt that the donkeys were poor.She couldn't deal with an eight-year-old girl, so she gave up on herself in frustration: "Then Liuniang should continue to admire the host."
The little girl's eyes lit up: "Then can I see him?!"
"Didn't Liu Niang see him?" Why did she like him so much... Nanshan looked sad.
"I haven't seen him once." Little Liuniang curled her lips, and suddenly said in a very sensible whisper, "They say he doesn't have a good relationship with my family."
It seems that Grand Master Yuan is the master's mentor, which is indeed a secret that few people know.
"If the relationship is not good, it will be inconvenient to meet."
Little Liuniang's face was suddenly full of serious melancholy, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "But I just want to meet... It is said that he can fly over the wall like in the fairy tales..."
"Is this why you want to meet?"
Little Sixteen Niang nodded: "It's amazing, isn't it? My grandfather was a commander in chief, but he can't fly over the wall!"
Nanshan thought silently, in fact, I can also "fly over the wall", don't be obsessed with that black-hearted host!
Because Nanshan only kept these words in his stomach, the little Liuniang on the opposite side was very serious and melancholy for a while.Only the sound of frogs could be heard around, Little Liuniang turned her head to look outside, then turned back suddenly, looked at Nanshan and asked, "Don't you think my sister has someone she likes?"
Nanshan shook his head cheerfully.
"How could there be no one she likes?" Little Liuniang thought it was impossible, "My mother said that every girl has a hero she admires in her heart."
"Big hero?" Nanshan thought about it quickly, but found nothing.She has lived to this state, and she no longer has any thoughts of "being saved" in her heart, because she can only rely on herself for everything, and cannot expect others to lend a hand.Feng Niang can be regarded as one of her weaknesses, but other than that, she seems to be afraid of nothing and doesn't need to ask for anything.
Seeing her sitting upright thinking hard, little Liuniang said, "Didn't my sister have a big hero in her heart when I was my age?"
The little girl looked at her earnestly, Nan Shan closed his eyes and opened them again, and slowly replied: "Yes."
"Is it also able to fly over the wall?"
Fly over the roof?I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken.Pei Jun has always been a weak scholar. If he hadn't been practicing outside these years, he might still be inactive, and he wouldn't even be able to ride a horse...
So Nanshan shook his head.
The little girl was immediately disappointed with the great hero in Nanshan's heart, and said with a little contempt: "I can't fly over walls..." But she didn't forget to try to save Nanshan's face, saying, "Then it must be proficient in other things?"
"Well, I can grow vegetables."
"What kind of hero is growing vegetables..." Little Liuniang muttered, "Does my sister actually like farmers?"
"No, I'm also good at reading."
Liu Niang thought about it seriously: "People who read books will be stupid."
"In this way, it seems to be a little bit." Because sitting in front of him was a little girl who had not experienced much in the world, and after chatting for a long time, she was unknowingly brought into her simple world.Nanshan said sincerely, "At that time, he went to search for corpses in the pile of dead people in the middle of the night."
Sixteen Niang made a slightly horrified expression: "There is such a terrible eccentricity! Sister, stop talking!"
"Well, let's not talk." Nanshan stopped talking with a smile.
There are two guys standing outside at this time listening to the wall.Pei Qu had been standing in the corridor for a long time, but at this moment, Grand Master Yuan grabbed him and led him to the west.It wasn't until they were far away that Nanshan definitely couldn't hear him, so the old grand master stopped and stood up straight and asked Pei Qu: "The hero that the Southern media official said...is that you?"
Pei Qu wasn't very sure at first, but after hearing her talk about growing vegetables and digging through corpses among the dead, he was probably sure.
"It's a junior."
"It's useless!" Grand Master Yuan emphasized that it was useless again, and continued, "Even if you were the hero in her heart before, it's not like you now, just like Xiaoliu. Like a great hero!" The old man seemed to be very disappointed with this junior, "You really have spent all these years in vain."
"The juniors know."
"It's useless to know, you can't be a great hero anymore. She's now much higher than you, and she's no longer a little girl, so—" the old man poked Pei Qu and said bitterly, "Put away your self-righteous little thoughts, and treat her as an adult from now on, don't just think about how to catch her back and keep her in captivity."
Pei Qu thought about it seriously.
Sir, is 17 considered an adult?
But he only struggled for a while, and immediately reversed the situation, but asked Grand Master Yuan calmly: "The Grand Master seems to know who she is?" Extra exhortation?This is clearly the appearance of knowing the truth about her identity.
The old man pretended to be confused: "Who is so and so? Why don't I know, I only know that she is the most powerful matchmaker in Chang'an City."
Master Yuan is as strict as Guan Bai.It was indeed difficult to get something out of these old men's mouths, but it was not in vain. At least they knew that they were all guarding a certain secret for Nanshan, and he couldn't let him know about it.
It was getting late, Pei Qu was still thinking about making medicine for his apprentice, and Yuan Taishi was worried that Liu Niang would continue to talk nonsense with Nanshan, so the two went their separate ways and parted ways.
After Xiaoliu Niang left, Nanshan was still sitting in the hall, and many emotions from many years ago surged in, like a tide, but the strange taste of the years was separated.
She was lost in thought, and suddenly tilted her head, and saw Pei Qu come in with a medicine bowl.
He walked straight over, put the medicine bowl on the low table, then sat down on the opposite side in a serious manner, raised his head and said, "Drink the medicine while it's hot."
Nan Shan looked down at the medicine bowl, and said to himself, "Will the taste come back after drinking this medicine?"
Her tone was very complicated, full of expectation at first glance, but there was a hint of self-abandonment in it. The reason for her disguise was probably because she didn't want to spoil the teacher's interest.
But Pei Qu said sincerely: "Try to know."
Nanshan obediently picked up the bowl and drank it heartily.Nothing but a warm feeling in the mouth.There was only one last sip left in the bowl, she stared at the black dot at the bottom of the bowl for a long while, and her mind had already made many twists and turns.
She stood up suddenly, drank the medicine, bent down in a logical manner, and even skillfully lifted the chin of someone who was in shock, and immediately moved her lips together.The soft lips pressed against each other, and Pei Qu's mind was a mess. His studious apprentice even pried open his lips at this moment, allowing him to taste the bitter taste of the medicinal soup.
The sound of the medicine bowl being put down steadily sounded in the air, Pei Qu suddenly recovered, but Nan Shan did not let go, she even bit his lip.The two breathed together, Pei Qu's body was slightly stiff, and he actually leaned back slightly. At this moment, Nan Shan suddenly let go of his hand, and his lips also left him.She wiped the corners of her mouth with her fingers as if she had just drank human blood, and still approached Pei Qu, asking, "Does the teacher feel bitter?"
"Bitter." Although Pei Qu's tone was calm, his expression was tense, and even his breathing rhythm was quite wrong.
He made it clear that he was frightened by such an apprentice, and Nanshan was no exception.Her heart beat faster than anyone else, but her face was very calm, like a veteran in love.
She asked lightly: "Teacher likes to kiss like this?"
"I like it." Pei Qu tried to control his emotions and said shamelessly.
"So the teacher likes me? Did you say you wanted to marry me earlier because you like me?"
As a master who is different from the outside and the inside, Pei Qu closed his lips tightly, and quickly struggled to say: "Yes."
"Don't you want to protect me because you see me pitiful?"
"No."
"Isn't it because I look like Chaoge?"
"No."
"fraud."
Pei Qu raised his eyes suddenly, and saw her dark eyes right in front of him, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
She immediately emphasized it again: "The teacher is a liar. It's clearly because she thinks I'm pitiful and like Chaoge, so she's thinking about marrying me back. I'm not a child—" she finished in one breath, He sat down suddenly, put his hands under the table, and pressed the mattress tightly on the ground, so as not to be seen trembling.
But she still stared at Pei Qu intently and said, "I'm already an adult."
Pei Qu didn't quite remember how he ended the conversation last night, because Nanshan's actions shocked him so much that he almost lost the ability to argue.Moreover, the bitter taste of the decoction seemed to never dissipate in his mouth.He thought about it for almost a whole night, but he could only come to the conclusion that "students are unhappy because of his recent behavior".
I vaguely remember his student saying sternly last night, "Teacher is nine years older than me. He is really too old to talk about." It's okay to feel sorry for Chao Ge, but don't involve me", "I'm very busy, please don't do this again, teacher" and other remarks that violate the way of respecting teachers.
Then she got up very smartly and left, leaving him with an empty bowl and questions all night long.Pei Qu probably didn't think that this matter could get out of control. After deep reflection, he seemed to wake up after being poured by cold water, and he was much calmer when he woke up in the morning.
"Because I know she is undoubtedly Chao Ge", so many judgments and behaviors have inappropriate deviations, which makes her angry.
There is a lot of dew in the morning flowers, and the dew will disappear without a trace when the sun comes out.The lotus flower buds are still waiting quietly in the tank, and after a night of hard work, they failed to bloom.It's just that the lotus that doesn't bloom in the morning probably won't bloom again this day.At this time, the Grand Master's mansion was full of busy servants, someone brought him breakfast, and he asked casually, "Is the Southern media official still there?"
The little servant said: "The Southern Media Officer has something to do and left, oh, he also took Sixteen Niang along with him."
"Do you know where you went?"
The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Where is it not knowing, it is clearly pretending to be stupid.Pei Qu didn't ask any more questions, and thought for a moment while having breakfast, thinking that Nanshan might be avoiding him on purpose, so he didn't look for her when he left the Grand Master's Mansion, but went straight back to Wannian County.
Several long scrolls are placed on the Gaozu case of the public housing, and when unfolded, it becomes the Wannianfang Lipu.Pei Qu took the top scroll and spread it out bit by bit... There is only one square left to finish the painting.
These long scrolls bring together the efforts of large and small animals.Nanshan's energy on this matter is naturally not ambiguous. She wanted to help him, and she did help him. Besides, the two of them cooperated happily during this period, and even had a tacit understanding of the same mind.
Pei Qu put away the long scroll and went out. Pei Guangben rolled up the curtain of the public room, took a peek outside, and muttered softly: "This brat is really eyeing Xiaoshanshan, it's really terrible!"
"Pei Shaofu really doesn't think he's too old!" The young clerk next to him said angrily, "It's almost thirty, so it's time to find someone of the same age!"
Pei Guangben turned his head and stared: "Even if my Xiaoshanshan didn't marry that stinky boy, he wouldn't give it to you, so you can take a rest."
The scribe was not convinced: "Pei Mingfu's words are wrong, and the Southern media official is not a child of Pei's family. Does the Mingfu have the right to take care of it?"
"Hmph." Pei Guangben snorted coldly, "It's as if I can chase Xiao Shanshan over without you." He pointed mercilessly at the official documents written by his subordinates, "Look at your handwriting! It's so bad! How can you be worthy!" Pei Guang stood up abruptly, turned away with a wave of his sleeves.
While he was thinking about how to destroy the relationship between the two, Nanshan was waiting outside Guangzhai Temple, with a little boy beside him.
Little Liu Niang wore her cousin's clothes, pretended to be a boy, and followed Nanshan in Guangzhaifang to wait for the regular attendance to end.
Guangzhai Temple is adjacent to Danfeng Gate, and it is the place where courtiers wait for the palace gate to open in the morning.And this wide street outside Guangzhai Temple is the only way for the officials to go back to each yamen.
Originally, Nanshan would not take her out, but he couldn't bear the sweet flattery and requests from Little Sixteen Niang, and the grand master acquiesced to the little girl's behavior, so Nanshan had no choice but to dress her up as a kid to bring her out. come out.
At this time, the meal in the corridor was over, and the permanent counselors left the palace one after another to return to their respective yamen.There are horses and carts on the street, occasionally a few unrestrained and poor donkeys, and dignified and decent officials in official uniforms.
Occasionally, Chang Shen didn't have enough to eat in the official gallery, and ran to the street to buy food and go to the yamen to eat, but they did it secretly and quickly, for fear that the censor would bump into Shen Yiben and say something like "It's not good for the Holy Majesty to give food." It's delicious, I have to eat bad food from outside." The annoying words.
Little Liuniang poked her head out of the shop, still a little timid.She held a cup of cold drink in her hand, and because the sun was so poisonous, a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.Nanshan leaned over to wipe her forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "Liu Niang, don't poke your head outside anymore, it won't look good if your face is flushed and sweaty, and you will be disgusted by the unscrupulous host."
"This official is black in the eyes of Southern Media officials?"
The cold winter wind-like voice came from behind, and Nanshan's heart skipped a beat immediately when she heard the sound. She didn't dare to turn her head back, but Xiao Liuniang looked up at the person behind her suspiciously.
Little Liuniang seemed to have figured it out suddenly, so she jumped up, handed over the cold drink in a hurry, and said, "I haven't drank it yet, so--I'll give it to the host...uncle the host to drink... that's it." .”
She stuttered and obviously lost her usual confidence, but she called the word "Uncle" without any ambiguity.
Shen Fengge obviously didn't like the cold drink handed by the child, and sat down on the other side of the low table Shi Shiran, only then did Nanshan realize that there was another person behind him.Her expression could not be regarded as relaxed, because she could tell from the shallow and deliberate coughing that the other person behind her was Pei Liangchun.
Pei Liangchun was not very involved with officials, and he appeared here just to catch some officials' inappropriate behavior, so he did not expect to meet Shen Fengge.Shen Fengge said that the weather is too hot and he wants to drink cold drinks. As a subordinate official, no matter how much he dislikes Shangguan, he can only honestly follow him to drink cold drinks.
It was a coincidence that before walking a few steps, the two of them saw Nanshan sitting outside the shop at the same time.Shen Fengge walked over directly, and Pei Liangchun followed quietly, until he got behind her, and heard her address of "Taiwan Master Black Heart", Shen Fengge spoke lightly.
Then Nanshan was like a tortoise, saying nothing, as if he had made a big mistake.
She was never used to seeing Shen Fengge in public. The last time it was at the official media yamen, and the last time it was a banquet in the Furong Garden. This time... there was another onlooker, Pei Liangchun, and she felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
But it wasn't over yet, just as Pei Liangchun sat down, another voice came from not far away, it was Xu Miaowen.
"It's strange." Xu Miaowen also came over and sat down, smoothed the official uniform, raised his head and continued, "You can come out to drink cold drinks at Yushitai, so you won't be dismissed if you drink one?"
After Xu Miaowen finished speaking, she rolled her eyes, obviously for Pei Liangchun.He looked down on Pei Liangchun's usual appearance of "bullying others" and "fake public affairs for personal gain", so he took the opportunity to vent his anger today.
Little Sixteen Niang frowned.She originally thought that it would be fine if it was just Nanshan's sister, but now that there are so many annoying adults here, it is really uncomfortable.
Xu Miaowen glanced at her quickly, completely ignoring her boyish attire, and said to Nanshan: "Hey, is the Nanshan media official bringing the illegitimate daughter out for a cold drink? Or are you here to bring the child to find daddy?"
This joke aroused the displeasure of three people, one was Nanshan, the other was Shen Fengge, and the third was the angry little Liuniang.Sixteen Niang glared at him restrainedly, and said coldly: "Uncle Guan Ren knows that too many words will lead to mistakes, and you will even be impeached if you say the wrong thing?"
Xu Miaowen held back for a moment.
He thought about it quickly, this girl must be Shen Fengge's daughter!It must be!
God, the old virgin has such a big daughter!He tried his best to distinguish between his eyebrows and eyes, but he still looked like——a lot like...
Even Pei Liangchun looked over, he took a few glances and sat upright again, thinking that this matter can be dug deeper, maybe Shen Fengge really has such a girl hiding outside so that no one will know about it!
Shen Fengge's expression was the most normal, he looked at the cute little girl with delicate features indifferently, and said to the shopkeeper who had been waiting for a long time, "A cup of ebony drink."
"Buttermilk." Pei Liangchun.
"Mulberry leaf drink!" Xu Miaowen.
"White plum drink..." Nan Shan looked at the empty cup in front of him and said cautiously.
And Xiaoliu Niang took a sip of the cold buttermilk, and said dissatisfied: "I want to eat a bowl of Lengtao." As she spoke, she looked at Shen Fengge eagerly, and Shen Fengge put the money on the low table coldly , "Small bowl of locust leaves are washed cold."
"I want a big one." Little Liuniang said sullenly, lowering her head and nibbling on the rim of the cup.
"Lengtao locust leaves in a big bowl." Shen Fengge added another copper plate.
The shopkeeper went to work immediately, while Xiaoliu Niang continued to nibble on the rim of the cup with her head down.Xu Miaowen turned to look at her, and asked desperately, "Whose child is it?"
Little Liuniang answered him coldly: "It's no good for the official uncle to know this. People who are too curious will be unlucky."
Xu Miaowen held back and tried hard to hold back.Mulberry leaf drink, come on, let me cool down, or I will fight this kid to the end!
Fortunately, Liangyin came on the stage in time to save the situation, while the little girl was holding a large bowl of locust tree leaf Lengtao and chomping on it, looking like a ghost.In the morning, her nurse called her to eat, but she refused desperately, and followed Nanshan out with an empty stomach. Naturally, she was very hungry now.
So several adults watched a child boldly eating the fresh and green Lengtao, and were speechless for a while.In the end, it was Shen Fengge who spoke first: "The Southern media official said at the banquet in Furong Garden that he had chosen a suitable daughter for me. I haven't heard any news so far. Could it be a lie?"
Nanshan was wailing inwardly, Master, that was a temporary excuse, can't you hear it?Now there is Xu Miaowen on the left and Pei Liangchun on the right, so don't make such a problem for me on this occasion!
"Did sister tell the host uncle about him?" Little Liuniang asked while eating Lengtao.
"So..." Nanshan noticed the gazes from all sides, and he was quickly making up a lie in his heart.
But before she could say it, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the street.Xu Miaowen looked at it, and suddenly frowned, Jin Wuwei is so menacing, what is he going to do?
"There! There she is!"
