Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 77
"Oh, it's Lord Liu!" Old Wu stopped quickly, with a smile on his face, he went up to greet Qian'er and said, "Your old imperial envoy has returned to Beijing! This building was given to Master Xu a month ago, and now it is Xu Lao Xiangguo's family team. Jiaxinglou Institute can't continue to run. People in Shuntian Prefecture say that there is a decree that "untouchables follow the good", and the tax will be doubled if they don't follow the good! Mom said that the business is slow, and the sisters do what they want. Some recommend Go to be maids and aunts for everyone, some go home, and some start their own business, scattered in the eight major alleys of Weizi Hutong. Master understands, isn’t everything in the world like this?” Liu Molin smiled and said: “Untouchables are good, acting is just’ Noble people, do you still need to increase taxes? It's none of my business. I just ask you, Shunqing, where is she now?" Old Wu said with a smile: "My lord is forgetting things. Didn't you buy her a house on Qipan Street Did she move there with the old bustard..." Liu Molin turned around and left after hearing this, and Lao Wu sent him out, chattering: "When it comes to 'tax increase', it's not just to trick the world! The shop bully Customers, customers bully the store, this has been the case since ancient times. Not only did no one in Mr. Xu’s family collect taxes, but Shuntian Mansion held church meetings, and every reward was a few hundred taels! The 'taxes' collected came out here again... "

Liu Molin smiled and nodded as he listened and came out all the way, only to see Xu Jun wearing a familiar Luoyuebai robe with no belt around his waist, walking around with two little Xi slaves.Seeing Liu Molin, Xu Jun couldn't help smiling, and bowed his chest and said, "Brother Molin hasn't seen you for a long time, are you here all right? This journey of thousands of miles in the Western Regions is really hard work!" Seeing his politeness, Liu Molin didn't dare to neglect him, He returned the courtesy with a smile: "Brother Jiaju is so affectionate and elegant! Where are you going? How about having a few drinks at Shunqing's on Qipan Street with me?" Old lady!" Xu Jun said with a grin, "Eighth Master called my team tonight, and I will also send a few sets of this new set of books." Then he yelled at Old Wu: "You bastard , what are you selling here? Why don’t you tell them to prepare chariots and horses?”

Only then did Liu Molin see that the two servants were holding a stack of books in their arms, and they reached out to ask for one, but it turned out to be "Wangyuelou Poetry Draft", which had just been printed, and there were scraps of paper on the edges. The fragrance of ink came to the nose, so he smiled and said: "Listening to operas and reading poems is very elegant. Maybe you can see a new book?" It’s just a rip-off.” Xu Jun laughed, “Brother Liu is a great talent, I’ll give you two volumes if you think so highly of him. If there’s something embarrassing, Brother Liu, don’t laugh, just tell me quietly, can it work?” Liu Molin just ate at Fang Bao Wu Sidao’s place After losing the battle, how dare you rely on it?He hurriedly said with a smile: "Three generations of the Xu family are scholars, and the family has a long history. Who is the kid who dares to criticize? It must be good. I will take it to Haosheng to read and appreciate it."

"It's easy to go." Knowing Liu Molin's nature, Xu Jun must be teased by the raw materials. He was surprised to see him leave with a lot of humility and politeness. He stood and watched Liu Molin go, and sneered in his heart: "Whatever you are, The green turban is already on!" After a while, he didn't mention it since he went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

It was already dark when Liu Molin arrived at Qipan Street.Seeing him coming, the old bustard beamed with joy and busily arranged food and drink in Shunqing's room without touching the wind. It's here, until this time!" He winked at Shunqing again, "Sister, why are you frowning? Isn't it a great joy that the nobleman is back? Have a good day tonight, so why don't you eat more with Master Liu? Cup..." Then he closed the door and went out.Liu Molin saw Shunqing's eyes full of eyes, staring at the candlelight with tears in his eyes but just dazed, thinking that he was really annoyed that he was late, so he folded Wen Cun, put the book aside, embraced Shunqing, and said with a warm smile: "Qing Yue It's 'hating' me, the more I love Qing. Didn't I come here?"

"General Nian came over with a guard of honor, and I went to see it." Su Shunqing was like a wounded bird, nestling in Liu Molin's arms motionless, her voice seemed to come from a long distance, but it was very clear: "I thought you and Master Bao Qiansui must be with General Nian..."

Liu Molin's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Cai Hongli's words, maybe he would go back to Xining with Nian Gengyao?But the phone is flickering with puns, what is the deeper meaning in it?After I left, what are the people discussing in Thirteen Baylor House at the moment?The more I think about it, the more confusing it becomes... After a long pause, Liu Molin came back to his senses, stroked Su Shunqing's beautiful hair, kissed her tenderly on the forehead, and said with a smile: "It's a military matter, you don't care what he does I’m not here?” Said at the same time, stretched his hand into Shunqing’s small clothes, touching her warm skin and small nipples, gradually feeling passionate, his hand slowly slid down...

"I have..." Shunqing suddenly pushed Liu Molin away, got up and tied up her clothes, probably feeling that she was too abrupt and lost her composure.She looked at Liu Molin, and smiled a little sourly, "Not tonight! Let's wait for... later." Seeing her standing up so resolutely, Liu Molin was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't come, I thought The scorpion stung you once, it’s on your body, what’s the point if you touch it? It’s just such a long night, sitting opposite the lamp, it’s a pity.” Su Shunqing stared blankly at Liu Molin, as if she wanted to imprint him in her heart After a long time, he washed his hands, burned incense and moved the zither to the desk, and said: "You are a famous talent. You are thousands of miles away from the Western Regions. There must be a masterpiece. Take it out and let me sing it to you, okay?"

Liu Molin handed over the folding fan, and said with a self-conscious smile: "Put away the word "talented scholar" from now on, I'm actually a frog at the bottom of a well! But this long and short sentence is a little bit of a hit..." Because of the embarrassment he had just suffered in the Yiwang Mansion After a brief speech, he added: "Since then, Liu Molin dare not underestimate the people of the world."

Shunqing didn't laugh at Liu Molin, and seemed to have ignored those words.She silently took the fan, read the poem carefully, and asked: "This is very similar to the inscription on the wall, isn't it?"

"Yes, I wrote it on the wall of an inn in Shanzhou."

"You Suibao is a thousand years old, why would you stay in an inn?"

"Bao Qiansui likes private visits, so I go with him."

Shunqing was silent for a long time, then asked again foolishly:

"Is... the question for me?"

Liu Molin couldn't help laughing, and said: "I also think of myself in the past, there was me in the Qing Dynasty, and there was Qing in the Qing Dynasty - just ask these people what they are doing, the ready-made wine and dishes here, I eat wine, and I am tired of Qingzuo Quer!" Shun Qing Putting the fan on the table, he said: "Since it was written for me, I will not be disrespectful. But after you left, I also wrote a few songs. This brand is very good. I will practice it tomorrow and sing it for you. "After finishing speaking, he adjusted the strings, tickled and picked, and sang:

Sigh!The lover has returned from thousands of miles away, but the mottled old walls are still there, where can one find a human face?The concubine is the weak Pu Liuzi, the new Jianjia, how can she resist the madness of Leijia!It's bitter and it's bitter...the dream is still there at the top of the building, and the ruthless flowing water has passed under the Tianjin Bridge.Who is the soul-destroying hatred paid to?By the side of Sansheng Stone, I will be friends with you again! "The peach blossom with a human face is right in front of you, why can't you find it?" Liu Molin swallowed a big mouthful of wine, and said with a smile: "It's just that I'm so frustrated, I'm afraid it's not good? You are a talented woman, I think I'm stupid Han!" As he spoke, he raised a toast and emptied it.Su Shunqing came over and filled it up again for Liu Molin herself. She turned around and took off the pipa, tuned the string a little, and danced with a waving of the five strings to watch Qiu Hong.

One night the east wind is evil, the east wind is evil!Sent away in spring but not returning... One after another curled up, falling red and colorful, spreading bamboo trees and green moss all over the path, full of Luoyang daughter's tears!What's more, it's worth drifting in the flowing stream, wandering low...by whom?The sky is dim, Ruan Lang is not here, how to keep the peach blossoms and clear water?
Liu Molin listened and drank, already stupefied and stupefied, hearing this remark, he felt something was wrong in his heart, but it seemed like a pot of paste was overturned in his stomach, and he couldn't understand anymore, he shook his head vigorously, his eyes were drunk Sleepily asked: "You...what's the matter with you today? What, what—what's the matter?" He poured out a big cup and persuaded with tears in his eyes, "My Liu Lang, drink another cup."

"Cowherd?" Liu Molin said with drunken eyes, "What kind of queen mother...what galaxy is it? Oh...you mean to tell me to have another drink..." As he spoke, his articulate words became more and more unclear, and he snored instantly Body like thunder.Su Shunqing took off his shoes, gently moved his two feet that were resting on the side of the bed to the bed, and fed Liu Molin two sips of water with a silver spoon.Liu Molin smacked his lips contentedly, turned over and fell into a deeper sleep.Su Shunqing leaned on the bed, staring at her lover for a long time.

This was the deepest time of Meng Xia's May night.There was no wind, and no insects or birds could be heard. Only one or two croaks of frogs came from the pond not far away, and then fell into a deeper silence.The round moon penetrates the sky full of lotus clouds, and casts down the quiet and hazy veil. The layers of trees, houses, and screen walls in the courtyard seem to have been wiped by a touch of mercury, pale and gloomy. dark.Under the black shadows, everything is faintly visible, and the stone tables, fish tanks, potted plants and artificial rocks squatting there seem to be jumping silently, ready to jump out and bite unsuspecting people at any time.

The dull, trembling noon cannon came faintly through the unfathomable night, awakening Su Shunqing, who was sitting upright and staring at him.She stood up and paced around in the dimly lit candle shadow like a ghost, her dull eyes looking into the distance as if she wanted to penetrate the wall.Muttering in her mouth like a sleepy dream: "Although my body is cheap, is my heart also cheap? I lost my mother at the age of seven, and my father at the age of ten. I sold myself by inserting grass marks on my head... I am a filial daughter... my mother is a prostitute , but she was the same as me when she was young, she was sick and sympathetic, and she didn't force me to sell myself... Mo Lin, I was a clean person when I was given to you... I have read so many books, I can sing and dance, and I can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'm a talented girl...the emperor has a decree to get rid of low status——I could have survived with you and become a first-class lady..." She staggered to the window, the yellow moonlight shone on her pale face, "... But what else is there now? Cowherd is willing to want an unclean Weaver Girl? I—" She smiled bitterly, "I never imagined that Su Shunqing would be here today. I can't spare you, I will tell you in Yinshili!"

Su Shunqing staggered back to the desk, and picked up the poetry fan with shaking hands. The word "Tea Turtle" looked so dazzling under the lamp, she moved her lips a bit, and without saying anything, she just lit the candle, and she didn't throw it away until the fan burned out.Then, Su Shunqing opened the dowry box, took out a small paper bag, shook the medicine inside into the wine glass, mixed the water, and looked at the sleeping Liu Molin affectionately, and swallowed it with her neck up... Enduring the colic, she took off her clothes Lying down under Liu Molin's bed, the severe abdominal pain caused her to straighten her legs and then curl up into a ball... She didn't groan until she died.

Liu Molin didn't wake up until it was three poles high in the sun. His sleepiness was not over yet, he felt his mouth was dry, so he asked for water repeatedly.He yelled a few times but no one answered, Liu Molin sat up, feeling slightly dizzy, because he saw Su Shunqing lying upright in front of the bed, because he laughed and said: "Where did you sleep so dead? You fell off the bed I can't even wake up from the fall!" Seeing that there is no effect, Liu Molin felt that something was wrong, and when he hurriedly got off his shoes to help him, he saw Su Shunqing's star eyes closed, her face pale, lying in her arms like a puddle of mud, The bitten lip faintly oozes blood.Liu Molin was taken aback, touched his breath, and pressed his pulse again, how could it have the slightest effect?

"Shunqing!" Liu Molin cried out in pain, shaking Su Shunqing's cold and soft body vigorously, and repeatedly shouted: "Wake up, wake up, what's wrong with Qing, ah? Please wake up, please... Ho ho ..." He picked up Su Shunqing, and walked around the room like sleepwalking, already tearful, and only called Shunqing's name one sentence after another sadly: "Wake up, ah...Last night, you looked like a girl." If you have something to say, why didn’t you tell me? I should have asked Qing…I’m such an idiot, why didn’t I ask carefully… Ho ho…” Weeping, seeing the old bustard push the door in, his face was covered with dirt Standing dazed at the door, Liu Molin put Su Shunqing's body on the bed, threw himself in front of the old bustard like crazy, raised his chest, and roared hoarsely: "Old bitch, who bullied Shunqing? Tell me! Otherwise I'll strangle you to death! No——I'll send you to Shuntian Mansion, tell you to ride a wooden donkey, and cut you up with a knife! You say I can't do it? You say I can't do it?"

The old procuress was suffocated by his chest. Seeing Liu Molin's fierce face, his facial features were distorted, and his blood-red eyes were staring at her with fire. She was already petrified, and after a long while, she said in a low voice: "Liu Molin My lord, please don't... this is really not an old woman's business. About...about..."

"Ok?"

"About Master Xu..."

Liu Molin pushed the old bustard away, gritted his teeth and thought for a while, he believed the old bustard's words.He didn't say a word, he stepped out of the room a few steps, stood and thought, Xu Jun must still be in Prince Lian's mansion at this moment, calling for Beima repeatedly.Since he was led out of the hospital, as soon as he got on his horse, he whipped him hard.The animal let out a long hiss, and galloped towards the gate of Chaoyang.
