marriage order

Chapter 25
Aside from Pei Qu's reaction, even Xu Miaowen, who was standing aside looking at the wedding dress, felt a little dazed at this moment.

He and his first wife were both very young when they got married. They were both at an age that they didn't know how to cherish each other, and they were brought together just because of their family background, age and appearance.At that time, he was just a small official in Dali Temple, and his wife was also a noble daughter who came from an official family and didn't understand the hard work of others. The two of them had bad tempers, and they had many conflicts in the early years.

I thought it would be like this stumbling and dragging the other party for a lifetime, but personnel affairs are usually the most unpredictable, and his wife left him soon, and the separation of yin and yang was a cleaner end than life and death.

In the future, no one will frown and complain that he brought official business home, and no one will dislike the prison smell on his clothes...

Complaints and conflicts are gone, but he still has a lot to say, and he has no targets.

For a long time after Fa's wife passed away, Xu Miaowen didn't go home at all, and didn't communicate with anyone.Even if he makes friends far away in a foreign country, there is no one to chat with among his colleagues, and it is even colder when he returns home. Only the thick files on the student case accompany him to spend the day. Occasionally, when lighting up the lamps and candles, he can see illusory fantasies , is the appearance of his wife in a happy dress.

After reading this, Xu Miaowen suddenly closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows and turned around.The setting sun outside the house became more and more intense, and the floor was covered with a layer of golden red. There were no customers in the clothing store, and it was quiet, only to hear Pei Qu's extremely calm sentence: "Just put it away like this."

Hey, this guy is a cold-blooded madman after all.Xu Miaowen opened her sore eyes, turned around, and glanced at Pei Channel: "This is a wedding dress after all, so you're not excited at all?"

"It's just clothes." Pei Qu was always calm, "Before clothes are put on, it's not worth getting too excited."

"That's right." Xu Miaowen did not refute his point of view, but shouted, "But you can't even imagine? You should be very excited to imagine how your student will look in this dress, it is really cold-blooded and ruthless." guy."

After he finished talking dully, he walked out, and when he got to the door, he couldn't help turning around and urging: "Can't you hurry up when the street drums are about to stop?"

Under Xu Miaowen's repeated urging, Pei Qu slowly walked out of the clothing store with a cloth bag.In his eyes, Xu Miaowen had a large cloud hanging over his head at the moment, as if it was going to rain heavily, but he kept holding on, as if he dared to let the rain fall when he was alone.

The two have been friends for many years, and during the nine years of absence from each other, each swallowed the bitterness and joy of growing up in life, without sharing or sharing.Although this naughty and noisy guy has always looked heartless, he must have had times when he was depressed and couldn't bear to say a word.

On the way home, Xu Miaowen sat with her eyes closed and did not speak to Pei Qu.After being bored for a long time, Xu Miaowen suddenly felt a hand pat him on the shoulder, opened his eyes and saw a snow-white handkerchief in front of him.

"What are you doing?" Xu Miaowen moved to the side and asked vigilantly by the window.

"You don't need to bring that dark cloud home, let it rain if you want." Pei Qu's words were euphemistic and flat, and he added, "I have never laughed at you when I grew up, so will I still laugh at you now? "

Xu Miaowen stared at Pei Qu with slender phoenix eyes, and tried to express her dissatisfaction by staring, but she couldn't stare round, so she had to give up.Although Pei Qu doesn't know how to laugh at himself, he is still used to tense.What's more, even if he tried hard to cry, in the end, his eye sockets were sore and he couldn't squeeze any tears out.Finally, he viciously pressed the handkerchief to his nose, trying to blow his nose with all his might.

Uh huh, dirty your veil!
"Brother Miaowen is really naive." Pei Qu stated the facts, then moved to the other side, opened the curtain and looked out.As the night fell, Zhuquemen Street was clean, without the body of the plum blossom guard, and there were no hanging heads, as if the previous purgatory-like scene was just an illusory dream.

Chang'an City has returned to its former peace and triviality.The regular officials still have to rush to Guangzhai Temple to wait for the morning court before dawn; the common people will still crowd the gates of the square early in the morning and finally curse and complain, "Why squeeze if you go out late, you will die"; the East and West markets start on time It ends on time, and even the street drum can't make a mistake; the meal under the corridor after the court is still so bad, and Guanglu Temple is scolded bloody but always has no regrets...

I heard that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon cakes with five kernels were offered desperately.

The saliva flooded the Guanglu Temple, as if a heavy rain was coming, and even the neighbor Donggong Government Office was also gloomy and gloomy.For the officials of the Eastern Palace Office, being an official in this place for a lifetime means being idle for a lifetime, because it may take at least 20 years to wait for a new Eastern Palace Lord...

Everywhere in Beijing has its own life and troubles, and it is the same for everyone.

During this period of time, Pei Guangben retired smoothly, the magistrate of Wannian County was replaced, and the position of county lieutenant was also taken away, so that Pei Qu is now just an idle official with nothing to do.Because Pei Qu had no money, he shamelessly stayed at Xu Miaowen's house for many days in the name of recuperating his injuries. Xu Miaowen generously donated money, arranged a room for him and bought him a lot of medicine.

Ever since, Pei Qilang spent all day studying poison in the house, and he didn't care about the sun and the moon outside.Xu Miaowen was afraid that he might go mad, so he kindly called him early in the morning of the ten-day holiday: "Aren't you going out for a walk?"

Pei Qu was wearing a gray Taoist robe and his hair was untied. He poked his head out from the room and said, "No."

"Are you kidding me? Do you know how many days you've been here? Let me tell you, if you don't go out today, you probably won't be able to give away the envelope you received last time."

Xu Miaowen got the news yesterday that the interrogation was over, Pei Liangchun's case was basically settled, everyone knew the result, if Pei Qu didn't send Webster's envelope again, he really had no chance.

Pei Qu's head that had just been poked out was retracted, Xu Miaowen simply walked over, and when he entered the room, he saw that Pei Qu was busy making medicine, with a thin body in a loose Taoist robe, looking lonely and cold.

"Just leave these things to the servant, and you hurry up and change your clothes." Xu Shaoqing gave the order, picked him up by the way, forced him to change his clothes, and stuffed him with food, "I know you eat It's tasteless, but that's no reason not to eat it."

These days, Pei Qu studied behind closed doors, trying to find an antidote, but still found nothing.A few short-term failures are nothing, but in the long run it is a hopeless waste.Fortunately, Pei Qu is a patient character, he will not be easily frustrated or give up easily, he hopes that one day, Chao Ge can taste the taste of oranges again.

The carriage drove all the way to the prison.Because it was a ten-day holiday, none of the censors came, and there were only prisoners left in the Taiwan Prison except for the guards on duty.Pei Liangchun used to be extremely arrogant in Taiwan Prison, and the senior officials in prison would look at him, not to mention the small jailers.Now he has been reduced to a prisoner, and it seems that there is no possibility of turning over. The little jailer who has been beaten and irritated in the past is aggravating his abuse.

It is not surprising that human nature is like this.

If Xu Miaowen didn't come forward this time, I'm afraid Pei Qu would not be able to see Pei Liangchun again.The jailer let Pei Qu in for Xu Miaowen's sake, and repeatedly told him not to stay for long, so he called another guard to lead him in.

The further you go, the more humid it is, and the environment for insects and rats is a little harsh.The pawn walking in front suddenly stopped, raised his hand and knocked on the small window pane, and said unceremoniously, "Someone is here to see you!"

The Terrace Prison is no different than other prisons, with thick walls separating them, and only small windows for food delivery outside. If you don’t poke your head in, you won’t be able to tell who’s in charge.The pawn knocked on the pane of the window, but there was no movement inside. Afraid that something might happen to Pei Liangchun, he hurriedly peeked in on tiptoe, and seeing Pei Liangchun huddled in a corner, he turned around and talked to Pei Channel in peace of mind, "I'm alive." Well, come out as soon as you finish speaking."

The pawn moved away as he spoke, and Pei Qu glanced in through the small window. Pei Liangchun's prison clothes were dirty and torn, there were bloodstains on his body, his hair was disheveled, and he didn't look like that at all.

He frowned, hesitated for a while, and then called out "fourth brother".

Pei Liangchun in the cell didn't respond at first, until Pei Qu touched the sleeve seal and was about to put it in directly, but Pei Liangchun stood up abruptly, walked up to Pei Qu and stared at him.

"Who is your fourth brother?" Pei Liangchun raised the corners of his bloody lips, and his voice was hoarse, "You are clearly the bastard of that thief! You are as vicious as him! You pretended to save me that day, obviously because you didn't want me to be so I want to die happily, but I want to see me now, who is neither a ghost nor a ghost!"

Pei Qu didn't speak, he had already taken the envelope out of his sleeve pocket.

"Why don't you answer me? Are you guilty?!"

Pei Qu slowly raised his hand, put the small envelope with body temperature on the pane, and said in a flat voice: "Wechsler followed him to Hedong and was not implicated. This is what Webster left for you." of."

Pei Liangchun, who was extremely irritable just a moment ago, suddenly quieted down. He almost took off the envelope containing the family letter with trembling hands, holding the envelope with his bloody hand but he did not open it for a long time.

Pei Qu's purpose of this trip has been achieved, so there is no further delay.He took one last look at Pei Liangchun, turned around slowly, walked through the dank corridor between the cells, and walked out of the prison without looking back.

Waiting for him outside is Wu Wang.

It was getting cold, and King Wu had already put on thick clothes, which made him even more sickly.He quietly wrapped a hand warmer under his sleeve, as if casually said: "This year's weather is really cold early."

Such an opening sentence inexplicably carried some sad emotions, but he clearly raised the corners of his lips, and he was smiling, just like the smile when we parted many years ago, and he could put aside calculations, full of thoughts and the way forward to express.

"Yeah." Pei Qu was in a calm mood.

"Want to visit Qujiang?"

The sky is high and far away, and the clouds do not know where they have gone, leaving only the boundless blue, which is so intoxicating.Many, many years ago, autumn in Chang'an City looked like this.

The carriage rattled along the way, and when we arrived at Furong Garden, it was the time when the autumn wind was at its strongest.The lotus pond has long since withered, and the dead leaves covered the lotus pond. Facing the bleak pond, Pei Qu said, "Didn't Your Highness always want to know where the Imperial Seal is?"

King Wu looked away from the dead stalks and leaves in the lotus pond, turned to Pei Qu, and waited for the next article.

"Your Highness said that he handed over the Zhen Guoxie to me back then. Before that, did you take a closer look at the Yuxie?"

"Look carefully."

"How is it different from the imitated national seal?"

King Wu couldn't say anything for a while, and finally frowned, "It's just different. The Zhen Guoxie was made by He's Bi, and it has been handed down for thousands of years."

"It's not bad for thousands of years." Pei Qu repeated his words in a flat voice, but suddenly turned to King Wu and took a deep look at him, "But when His Royal Highness handed the 'True' Imperial Seal into my hands back then, , Chilong has a missing corner, maybe it's broken?"

There was a hint of hesitation in King Wu's eyes. If the chilong lacked horns, it meant that the imperial seal was not genuine either.But before he handed over the jade seal in the palace to Pei Qu, was it really missing a corner?He was full of uncertainty. If he had really carefully read every detail back then, he would be able to refute what Pei Qu said was nonsense.

But he asked back with a guilty conscience: "Really?"

"What reason do I have to deceive His Highness?" Pei Qu said solemnly, and sighed softly, "If your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to the pagoda of the White Horse Temple to see if the imperial seal is still there, and then look at it. See if the Chilong lacks horns."

"But back then..." Although King Wu was calm, he still couldn't believe it, "It really looks like the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom."

"Then the one in the palace right now, does it look like it?" Pei Qu asked him like this.

King Wu had seen the jade seal before, and he said helplessly, "It looks like it."

"If that's the case, why bother to find another fake?" Pei Qu continued, "Emperors have changed hands and dynasties have changed, and the imperial seal has changed hands many times. There have been countless turmoil for thousands of years, and some emperors were killed by the rebellious army. , Some emperors died of starvation, some emperors perished with their cities, and all of them perished because of the death of the country... The Chuan Kingdom Seal may have long since disappeared. The seal that His Highness thought was the real one was probably a forgery."

Pei Qu also told the former emperor about the same thing, but the paranoid emperor couldn't accept this fact, and insisted on finding a "true" national seal that was rumored to be true.

"Many people have died for the national seal since ancient times. People think that they all died because of the national seal, but regardless of the symbols that people give, the national seal itself is just a rare piece of jade. In fact, most of them are just for power. Death. Since the whereabouts of the Imperial Seal is an unsolved case, let it be an unsolved case. Will the people of the world rebel because they suspect that the Imperial Seal of China is a fake? No, that is never the point.”

The evening wind intensified, and Pei Qu's Taoist robe was blown up. His face was as calm as Fuquchi when there was no wind, and Wu Wang's sick and bloodless face also had a bit of wind and frost. Both of them had their own thoughts Standing still, the silence was finally broken by King Wu's cough.

He coughed for a while, his pale face flushed.He raised his head and let out a long sigh, as if trying to let go of something.It is said that after a long illness, it is useless to have attachments, but it is always difficult to let go, and it takes a long time to resolve and convince yourself.

He turned the subject and said slowly: "Nine years ago I gave you a 'white horse' to express my regret that the imperial court could not retain talents, and then forced you to stay in the imperial court to do things for me. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to make much sense. You are a very strange person, you are invulnerable to oil and salt, you can't see what you want, so it's not easy to pinch your weakness, such a person is a hard bone in the court, not good-looking or easy to chew, others will see If I feel uncomfortable, I’m afraid I won’t be happy either.”

King Wu seemed to want to let him go, but just after he finished speaking, he changed the direction of the wind: "You deserve a more comfortable life, but now the imperial court is seriously injured, and it is the time for employing people, so you can't leave at this time. "

At the end of the sentence, the tone was undeniably resolute, but this resoluteness was different from the past, and there was some hint of pleading hidden in it.

Pei Qu didn't speak, but there were some different emotions on his originally calm face.

King Wu noticed the subtle change in his expression: "Although you and I have made such efforts to temporarily stop the fighting between Shangyuan and the old ministers, do you think the court will calm down?"

Pei Qu laughed self-deprecatingly, and finally shook his head.

"It is precisely because there will be ups and downs and turmoil, and I can't live long, and Jiayin is too young, so I need you to stay in the court to help him."

Pei Qu looked at him, and replied indifferently: "'Stay in court temporarily'? How long? One year, two years, or more than ten years, when the Holy One grows up?"

He didn't wait for King Wu to answer, then continued, "I remember when I was very young, I went to Yuan's Mansion and overheard Grand Master Yuan discussing matters with Fang Yushi. Take the opportunity to kill him." He spoke very softly and calmly, as if he was just telling Fang Yushi, "Since this dish is not tasty, throw it away." I didn't understand such a simple thing at the time, but only now Chaotang is such a place where factions and open and secret struggles exist forever. It is like a pot of water that is always boiling, but it will not boil dry. It will not calm down until there are no people. Such a court, Your Highness expects me to be able to When will you accompany the Holy One?"

Now King Wu is silent.

Pei Qu said again: "There are many talented people in the world, and the lower officials are already people who have the heart to retire, so why should your Highness be persistent?"

The autumn wind blows down the night, covering the whole area. The sound of street drums in the distance has long since died down, and there is a faint chirping of chilly cicadas, but the sound has faded, and it is no longer a climate.

Wu Wang did not try to persuade him to stay.

After King Wu left, Xu Miaowen, who was squatting in the pavilion, hurried over and looked Pei Qu up and down: "It's good that nothing is wrong. I thought he was going to trouble you again just like Shangyuan." In his heart, he said seriously, "You are really worrying."

Seeing him like this, Pei Qu's eyes slowly rolled up: "I have hidden a jar of fine wine in Furong Garden, brother Miaowen, do you want to drink it?"

Seeing the rare gentle smile on his face, Xu Miaowen hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

So the two tried their best to sneak into the Furong Garden, and when they avoided the guards and finally found the jar of wine, Xu Miaowen couldn't help lamenting: "It would be great if that little beast student of yours was here. She is better than anyone else at climbing over walls, and she can avoid the guards to get it." Wine is the perfect thing for her to do."

As soon as Xu finished speaking, he was kicked, so he took two steps back and stared at Pei Qu: "Can't tell her?! It's not like I haven't seen her climb over the wall, I'm clearly stating the facts!" He said She started to move her hands, and muttered, "Climb over, over, over, over, back then, she really looked like a little monkey. Aww—"

Someone Xu's nose was hit by the flying wine jar stopper, and he couldn't help "嗤", and then footsteps came from outside, Xu Miaowen hurriedly covered the whitebait bag he carried with him, holding his breath and dared not say any more.

The footsteps gradually faded away and did not come towards their house.So Xu Miaowen sat up confidently and bravely, and Pei Qu also lit a candle on the case.

Pei Qu is a fastidious person, even if he sneaks in to drink secretly, he can find a suitable cup.When the wine was full, Xu Miaowen drank one cup after another, but Pei Qu only drank half a cup because of the poison in his body.Even so, he was also very uncomfortable, with cold sweat on his forehead and palms, and his whole body was very weak.

Now he finally understands the reason why Nanshan said not to drink alcohol at that time, because it would really make him feel uncomfortable after drinking.It is also because of this that he is sure that he is the same kind of poison as the one in Nanshan, and finally found the cause after groping, which made his goal clearer.

Xu Miaowen was already slightly drunk, holding the wine cup and said: "Why did you invite me to drink on a whim?"

His eyes will remain closed, as if he will pass out of drunk at any moment.

Across the small case, Pei Qu looked at him quietly for a while, and said solemnly: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I have nothing to give you before I leave, so I invite you to drink."

Xu Miaowen swayed back and forth, and said, "Let's go again..."

"Correct."

"You've only been back for half a year." He said sullenly, "Sure enough, you bought me a drink as soon as you left, as before." He was a little confused, so he said incoherently, "Did someone drive you away again? Oh no, who are you looking for, oh yes, you are looking for that beast to marry, yes, you have prepared a wedding dress, ah, do you want to marry her?"

"Correct."

"You are such a boring gourd." Xu Miaowen stretched out his hands, and suddenly held Pei Qu's face across the small case, squinting his eyes slightly and said, "But it's okay if you leave, I will be promoted every time you leave, just wait The day I serve Zi Peijin."

"it is good."

Xu, who devoted his youth to the ruthless prison cause that only respected the rules, suddenly burst into tears, like a child with a fragile heart.

Pei Qu was not particularly good at comforting others, so he could only stand up, sit beside him, and pour him another glass of wine.

They have very different personalities, one is introverted and self-sustaining, the other is noisy and careless, but this does not affect the friendship and sincerity for many years.One thought that the other party was stupid but silently marked countless annotations for him in the past, and the other was always joking and unscrupulous but once the other party was in trouble, he would not hesitate to reach out for help.

This is the case with friends who are like brothers and sisters. Even if you go thousands of miles, even if you have been separated for many years, you will still give you the best heart when you come back. This kind of heart is not afraid of parting, only sincere.

The candles on the table have been burned out, and the night is getting dark.

Nanshan, who was far away in Huainan, sneezed suddenly after packing up the materials on the case.Sitting in front of another table, Little Sixteen Niang suddenly yelled: "Sister Nanshan, someone misses you!"

"Mute your book." Shen Fengge, who was sitting behind the main case, told her to shut up expressionlessly.

There are three cases in the room, each doing its own thing and not allowed to speak, the atmosphere is solemn and depressing, just like the Yushitai Gongfang.

Little Liuniang made a silent grimace, so she continued to scratch her head and recall the contents of the book.But Nanshan kept sneezing one after another, which made the little girl unable to concentrate. She ignored the prohibition and shouted: "Sister Nanshan, Uncle Pei must be thinking about you!"

Nanshan sneezed again.

The little girl pretended to be concerned about the country and the people, propped her chin on the pen and said: "It seems that Uncle Pei misses you crazy, but why doesn't he come to Huainan to see us? Daddy——" The little girl turned to the expressionless Shen Fengge said like a little adult, "Find a matchmaker for sister Nanshan, and let the matchmaker go to Uncle Pei in Chang'an to propose marriage!"

Xu Miaowen was drunk for a while, and also fell asleep.When Dameng woke up, his friend had already traveled far away, leaving only a note.This is exactly the same as the style a few years ago. It can be seen that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Xu Miaowen put the note into her bosom, got up lazily, put on her swollen eyes, put on her official uniform, and went to Dali Temple with high spirits.And his good friend Pei Qu also boarded the carriage at this time and went to Huainan thousands of miles away.

The Qinling Mountains in autumn are beautiful and complex, especially intoxicating.The further you go, the deeper the autumn, the murmur of the water, the undulating mountains, meandering to the high and clear sky.The road to Huainan seems to be very long, even farther than going to Fanbang, probably because of too much heart.

Huainan is as lively as before, and Yangzhou City is full of shops and extremely prosperous.

Between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, Guangling is a large town, connected from east to west, north to south, and its scale is second only to Chang'an and Luoyang.There are two cities above and below Shugang, and there are many merchants under Shugang, which are far more numerous than the two capitals.Yangzhou Port, located on the north side of the Yangtze River Estuary, is also an important large port, and the daily cargo throughput is also amazing.

What's more worth mentioning is the night market, which is unimaginable for the residents of the two capitals. It can be said that "three parts of the world are bright moon nights, and two points are rogues are Yangzhou". , the water Guo Fan mast is close to the level of bullfighting".

On this day, Nanshan and Liuniang stayed up late, not because of the bustling night market, but because the work in hand was not finished.They hadn't come home yet, they were sitting in the shop putting up price tags, Nanshan pasted the red paper on the wooden boards, and Liu Niang was in charge of tying the wooden boards with red strings, and then Shen Fengge hung them up.

So Shen Fengge was the most leisurely one, he always said that he was not in good health, and used this as an excuse to not do any work, oh, except for paying.

Liu Niang felt that Daddy was rich and powerful, because he said he wanted a shop, and he immediately had a shop; A boat, there is a boat in a blink of an eye, she has only seen that boat from afar, she really wants to go on it, but her father won't allow it.

In the children's world, it seems that things are so simple, you can get what you want, direct and rude, it just makes people feel very powerful, but in fact, she still can't understand the hard work involved.

She didn't know how many miles Nanshan's sister had traveled to inquire about the market, and how many delicate relationships her father had used to get the money and the berth in place. She only knew that she would have a place to play in the future.After she finished threading the last thread, she jumped up and ran to the rice basket, put her hands in, felt the warmth between the rice grains, and laughed "giggle": "It's so interesting, I've never seen so many rice baskets before." The rice, Daddy——" She raised her head, and she saw Shen Fengge who was hanging the last price tag: "Aren't we going to starve to death? Can we eat whatever rice we want in the future?"

"Yes." It was rare for Shen Fengge to pamper her so tenderly. After fastening the sign, he lowered his hands, and even rubbed her head subconsciously.After Shen Fengge finished speaking, he walked back, leaving only one sentence, "See if there is anything that has not been arranged, if everything is ready, go to the well and wash your hands, we are going home."

Hearing the sound, Nanshan stood up, put away the red paper, pen and ink, and the little girl moved the stool to the back.The two went to wash their hands together, Shen Fengge handed over the dry towel, looked up at the moon in the sky, and suddenly said: "The moon in Yangzhou is much brighter than that in Chang'an."

Nanshan and Liuniang looked up in response, and the little girl said: "It's almost full, I don't know when Uncle Pei will come, doesn't it mean that when the moon is full, people will be reunited?"

"He will always come." Shen Fengge pursed his lips as he said, and then slightly curved them.He has already learned through informants that Pei Qu left Chang'an, and if the journey goes well, he should arrive by then.

There was faint anticipation in Nanshan's eyes, but more worry.Although she knew that there should be no accidents along the way, she couldn't rest assured.In her dreams these days, she always dreamed of him being chased and killed, which made her sweat, and it took her a long time to realize that it was just a dream.

After reading this, she also felt a little hard. Both of them have been tempered for a long time. She told many lies, and he also had many thoughts that he did not tell her.Now that the heavy shackles on her body have been lifted, she doesn't seem to have thought about how to face it.

Because tomorrow is the opening day of Mihang, I need to get up early.So the three of them fell asleep as soon as they got home, and Nanshan got up early the next morning before dawn.

She was going to call the little girl to get up, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw the little girl hiding behind the door and laughing "hehehe".The little girl grinned and said, "Sister Nanshan, I'm so happy that I didn't fall asleep."

"I didn't fall asleep either." Nanshan yawned, turned around and sat down in the corridor, put on his shoes and said to the little girl, "I saw that the light was dimly on in your room yesterday, did you peek at something?" Little book?"

"Hey." The little girl also sat down beside her, "Don't tell Daddy."

"Did you do me any favors?"

The little brat said in surprise: "Sister Nanshan, how can you blackmail a child?"

Nan Shan got up and pressed her head, the little girl bent down and put her hands on the ground consciously, Nan Shan lifted her feet and made her stand on her head.Sixteen Niang said: "I wish I could walk upside down too, that's cool."

"Why do you dream of reaching the sky in one step?"

"Hey, I'm too eager for quick success!" The little girl reflected deeply.This upside down made me sleepless, and she saw a pair of feet getting closer, so she hurriedly said to Nanshan, "Sister Nanshan, let me down!"

Nan Shan let go of her hand suddenly, the little girl landed firmly on both feet, quickly patted her paws, looked at Shen Fengge who was coming towards her, and hurriedly explained: "I don't want to practice kung fu, I just, just wake up my mind."

Shen Fengge looked at the two messy-haired guys in front of him, he couldn't help but lower his face and show his power: "It's time for a stick of incense, gather at the door, and you will be punished severely for being late."

After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left, leaving Nanshan and Liuniang looking at each other. When he turned the corner, the two in the corridor looked at each other and laughed again, and then they said, "Oh, sister Nanshan, don't grab the comb with me. Comb your hair first." "Put on your clothes first, and I'll comb your hair." "It's too late, what's the matter with this dress"...

Shen Fengge turned the corner and didn't go forward. He stood and listened to the two of them laughing and joking for a while, and suddenly there was a strange warmth in his heart, and a smile slowly appeared on his usually cold face.After Songhua's death, he thought that he had no other place to express his love in his life except Yushitai. He also tried to regard Nanshan as Songhua's child, but because of his relationship with the inner guard, Nanshan was always alienated from him. point.

Now that I am living in this situation, I have never thought about it before. How can it not be comforting?

When the rice shop opened, unexpectedly many people came.Shen Fengge has a very wide network of contacts in the dark these years, and Yangzhou is no exception.These people only thought that Shen Fengge had resigned from office and retired to Guangling, but they didn't know the twists and turns of the two capitals.Although there are some rumors that are difficult to verify, most of them just say that Shen Fengge was assassinated by inner guards because he was a former minister.

People in the world are sometimes simple, believe what you want to believe, and think too much when you are unhappy.Ever since, as soon as the rice shop of the former high-ranking officials in the capital opened, everyone happily came to join in.

Nanshan and three or two clerks were busy going around, but Shen Fengge told her not to help the clerk, and asked her to stand at the counter and record the bill.So those who came to congratulate him always saw Nanshan first, and they couldn't help asking if Nanshan was the shopkeeper. Nanshan shook his head, and the little Liu Niang over there climbed up on the high stool and said, "That's right."

"oh oh."

After the guest turned around, Nanshan whispered: "Liu Niang, I'm not the shopkeeper!"

"Oh, isn't it?" A big smile broke out on Sixteen Niang's face, "But sister Nanshan looks very similar." She climbed off the stool with a playful smile, and ran to the door again, staring at the traffic on both sides of the street. The merchants kept looking.It's really disappointing, is Uncle Pei a road idiot?After walking for so many days, I can't get here, so stupid.

In the evening, Sixteen Niang simply sat down at the door. She thought that Uncle Pei would show up today to give Nanshan a big surprise, but it seemed that she couldn't wait.Ever since, Sixteen Niang hung her head down to play with the grass in the cracks between the bricks and stones. After she finished pulling out the grass one by one, she suddenly heard Nanshan calling her from behind: "Liu Niang, wash your hands and eat dinner first." .Your father said to have dinner here before going home."

"Oh." The little girl responded, puffing out her cheeks and blowing the ashes on her hands. After clapping her hands, she was about to stand up when she saw a pair of soap leather boots stop in front of her eyes.

Huh?Sixteen Niang looked up along the shoe until she saw the face.The owner of that face looked at her too, and she blinked and continued to stare.Liu Niang couldn't come back to her senses, she was like a doll, she kept her head up and looked at it, and it took a long time before she said, "Are you really Uncle Pei?"

Pei Qu stretched out her hand to her. Sixteen Niang hesitated for a moment, reached out and grabbed Pei Qu's finger, pinched it and said, "It seems to be true."

Seeing her stupid look, Pei Qu smiled, and simply bent over and lifted her up to the backyard.

A small table was placed in the backyard, and there were wooden stools around it. Although it looked a little crude, the food on the table was steaming hot and waiting to be eaten, which seemed very warm.

Pei Qu put Liu Niang down, and Liu Niang realized that it was true.Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, she hurriedly dragged Pei Qu out, and said mysteriously, "Uncle Pei just went in like this, it's not a surprise!" "Hey, is this the only luggage for Uncle Pei?"

"Yes."

"Did you prepare any surprises?" Sixteen Niang looked at him incredulously, "I came all the way from Chang'an without any surprises."

"What counts?" Pei Qu suddenly became playful, squatting down and holding the burden in front of him.

Sixteen Niang looked at his baggage, rolled her eyes, snatched it suddenly, turned her head desperately and ran to the kitchen in the backyard, shouting: "Sister Nanshan, I have something to give you." !"
