The Inverted Dragon is Scale

Smoke belt oblique street. Willow lane.

The dark and restrained carriage stopped at the door of a small courtyard. The little schoolboy Zhao Ruyi went up and knocked gently. The vermilion wooden door opened. When the pretty servant girl who opened the door saw the schoolboy, she couldn't help looking very happy and asked, "Ruyi, is the master back?"

"Yes. Miss, haven't you rested yet? " Zhao Ruyi asked. When she spoke, she had moved away and invited Gu Qinglin who got off the car into the yard.

"No. Miss is drawing. Today I'm learning the ink line method taught by my master last time. I can't draw well. I'm angry with myself. " The servant girl has a clear mind. Naturally, she knows what to say to please her master.

Sure enough, Gu Qinglin smiled happily on his face and said, "the ink line method is one of the most difficult three line methods in the way of painting and green, juxtaposed with the iron line gold hook method and the point line forest method. Master, when I learned this calligraphy technique, I spent several years trying to learn it overnight. "

"Master, miss is also worried that she can't draw well and is said to be stupid by master." The servant girl saw that the master was happy and said with a smile.

"Shuhuai is the smartest woman I've ever seen. How can she be stupid?" Gu Qinglin said loudly, also to let the beautiful concubine in the house hear what he said.

Sure enough, under the moonlight, a girl in white stood at the door.

The girl looks like a picture and has a blue temperament. Just standing there quietly, it doesn't make people feel amazing and dazzling, but it exudes a refreshing beauty.

Jiangnan women are gentle and like water. Even their skin, bones and blood are made of water.

"Why are you here again?" Shu Huai stood at the door with an expression of anger and joy.

"Tired, I want to see you." Gu Qinglin said with a smile. He came forward and held the woman's hand and said, "Xiaocui said you were learning the ink method I taught you?"

"Seeing the master's painting, I finished it at one go. I am clumsy and have no sense of beauty. A good picture, but it was bad. I'm thinking of studying hard so that Shu Yun won't be laughed at by the master when he is tested. I didn't expect the master to come tonight. " Shu Yun smiled and said softly.

"Hahaha, that's still the master's, isn't it?" Gu Qinglin laughed comfortably. This woman is really extraordinary. Every frown and smile appeals to people's soul.

"That's not true. It's just that Shu Yun is worried about the master -- "

"All right, all right." Gu Qinglin interrupted Shu Yun. He knew what she was going to say, and why didn't she worry? However, when Shu Yun said it, his worry would increase by another point.

Do not mention, do not want to, so as to enjoy the present.

---------

Gu Fu. Also known as the prime minister's residence.

Because there is only one right phase in the whole Xifeng Empire, and there is no candidate for the left phase until now. Therefore, people habitually call Gu's house prime minister's house.

When we talk about the prime minister's residence, we know that it is Gu Qinglin's residence, and there is no second one.

Although Gu Qinglin is the son-in-law of the Song family, he doesn't want to get too close to the Song family.

He was a poor scholar who made his fortune. Only when the Song family valued him did he have today's prominent position. Everyone said that Gao Xiang was burned on his ancestral grave when he married a woman of the Song family.

When he had nothing before, Gu Qinglin listened. Now you are the respect of the prime minister. It's uncomfortable to listen to these words again.

In addition, he was afraid of the Song family. He always had a sense of oppression in front of the Song family.

If you get along well with your wife, it's OK. If two people quarrel over a little family chores and his wife's family is too close, does he still have good fruit to eat?

Simply moving farther also allows him to relax his pressing body and spirit a little.

Inside Gu's house, a graceful, dignified and beautiful woman was drinking Huasui tea. This is a drink refined from the flower pith of a thousand year old tree, such as honey and soul. It can be cut with a trace of water every day to drink, which has the magical effect of prolonging life and eternal appearance. Therefore, because of long-term drinking of this flower pith, song is still like a young girl, and there is no trace of years on his face.

Of course, it's from my mother's family. Although her husband is the face of the Empire, it is impossible to drink this flower marrow tea. Those officials below may not be able to find filial piety.

Just then, Rong mo of the house came in with a box of cakes and whispered, "Miss, the master sent someone back and said that he was busy with business today and would stay at the military aircraft office today. If you don't come back for a rest, ask your wife not to wait for him. They also sent two boxes of cakes from Qiongyu building, and the young lady ate one while it was hot? "

Rong Mo is an old man brought out of the Song family's old house by song Yan. Even if he and Gu Qinglin have been married for many years, the servants in the house are commensurate with their mistress or wife. These old people brought in by the Song family are still called "Miss".

Song Yan also read their feelings. In addition, the title of Miss sounds kind, which makes her feel like she is still in the song house.

"Business entangled?" A sneer appeared at the corners of song's mouth and said, "are you really involved in official business?"

"This --" Rong Mo dare not answer this question. She is song Kuan's intimate servant girl. Gu Qinglin keeps a small one outside. The young lady knows and she knows. However, such things are well known, but there is no need to say. Otherwise, it would be tearing your face. It's not good for you to have a restless house.

"How many times this month?" Song Yan took another sip of flower pith. The cool breath spread all over his body, and the anger in his heart was extinguished in an instant. Become calm again“ The sixth time. "

"Last month?"

"Last month - only four times."

"It's getting too much." Song Kuang said coldly.

"Miss, I also think this sign is wrong. In the past, the master never stayed up at night. Later, he changed from once a month to two or three times. Now he has changed to five or six times - there are still several days this month. If this goes on, I'm afraid the master will spend half of his time staying with the fox spirit. " Rong said angrily“ I don't understand. What's good about that fox spirit? On beauty, temperament, identity, status and delicacy - how can she compare with Miss? It's just that you don't deserve to carry shoes with the young lady? "

What Rong doesn't know is that Gu Qinglin has been under too much pressure to get along for many years because his young lady is too delicate. He can't dare and can't break out. He can only release it a little outside.

"Hum, home flowers don't smell like wild flowers" -- song Yan sneered“ Gu Qinglin doesn't think about who he depends on to have today's status - does he think his wings are hard, so I can't help him? "

"Don't be impulsive, miss. The master treats the young lady well. Moreover, the old immortal now depends on the master and likes to discuss many things with the master -- "

"I understand. That's why I hid from him and let him lust for flowers outside. It's just that he's getting worse. No wonder I -- master, I won't move. As for the small one outside, can't she or I move? You really don't know how to write the word "death" when you rob a man with me. "

"What does Miss mean?"

"I'll go back and cry with my eldest brother and complain about grievances ----- in this way, even if something comes out, the family will no longer blame me." Song Xuan said with a sneer.

"The young lady thought it all out."

--------

The night was deep, dark and silent.

Suddenly, the night was torn open and the peace was broken.

A shrill voice spread all over the smoke belt oblique Street: "water, water ----"

Then the voice of the call began to shout one after another.

"Put out the fire, come on, it's on fire ----"

"My house is gone, my house is gone, all gone -----"

"Run quickly. If you don't run, you'll lose your life --"

--------

Bang bang------

Zhao Ruyi desperately slapped the door of the room and shouted, "master, master, get up quickly ----- on fire, on fire -----"

Call------

Gu Qinglin was sleeping soundly. Hearing the knock on the door outside, he suddenly sat up and shouted, "Ruyi, what happened?"

"Master, it's on fire ----- the smoke belt oblique street is on fire, the neighbors are already on fire, and it's also very dangerous here. We have to go back quickly -----"

"Fire?" Gu Qinglin's first reaction to his long-term immersion in officialdom was that someone was attacking him.

Otherwise, for no reason, why is there a fire here?

However, this is not the time to pursue this issue.

He pushed, opened his eyes, looked puzzled at his comfort, and said, "comfort, get up, the neighbor is on fire, we have to leave quickly ----"

"Fire?" Shuhuai has just passed a fierce bed brother's love. Originally, she was weak, but now she is even more tired. Her voice still has a vague smell.

"Yes, it's on fire - get up or you'll die." Gu Qinglin hurried Shuhuai to get up while changing clothes under the service of Zhao Ruyi.

Shuhuai was safe and sober. Two servant girls also ran in and hurriedly helped Shuhuai dress and comb her hair.

"Don't comb your hair and go out quickly" -- "Gu Qinglin shouted, took his comfortable hand and ran to the yard“ Where's the carriage? "

"Sir, the carriage has been unloaded and the horse has stopped - -- I've sent someone to set up the car."

"Hurry up." Gu Qinglin shouted.

All the neighboring houses on the left and right sides were on fire, with flames and thick smoke. The small courtyard where I was located was also attacked by the fire on both sides. The wooden house structure was soon lit, and then it got out of control.

Seeing the fire in the room, I'm afraid the clothes and jewelry inside will turn into ashes.

"House --" Shuhuai exclaimed.

"The house can be rented again." Gu Qinglin gave a voice of comfort.

"But the white jade chess, calligraphy and painting that my master gave me are still inside --"

Gu Qinglin's heart was warm, he clenched his comfortable cold hand harder and said, "it doesn't matter. I'll send you back tomorrow ----"

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Gu Qinglin was about to get on the bus with a comfortable hand.

Just then, a group of guards in patrol uniforms rushed towards this side.

The chief general was about to give a loud order to put out the fire. Suddenly, he saw Gu Qinglin who looked glittering in the light of the fire.

He was stunned, and then made a move that he regretted all his life.

Bang!

Young general Wu Yan landed on one knee and said in a loud voice, "young general Wu Yan has seen the prime minister."

Seeing the chief officer kneeling, all the other young generals knelt down.

"I've seen the prime minister."

“-------”

Gu Qinglin's face was so gloomy that he glared at Wu Yan fiercely, and then hurried into the carriage.

"General, is that really the prime minister?"

"Gu Xiang? Why is Gu Xiang here? "

"Gu Xianggang - seems to be holding a woman's hand --"

---------

"Shut up." Wu Yan shouted angrily.

When he came into contact with Gu Qinglin's vicious eyes, he suddenly woke up. He had to pretend not to know something and pretend not to see it.

I'm afraid I'll have bad luck soon, even if I commit a big taboo in officialdom.

The crowd looked at the young general Wu Yan and found that his face was as gray as death and his body trembled. He couldn't stand up.

----------

After getting on the carriage, Gu Qinglin still felt angry.

After a busy day, I wanted to come here to relax and relieve my tired body and mind. Unexpectedly, I was awakened by a sudden fire, and then I met an ungrateful official fool.

"Wu Yan --" Gu Qinglin said the name in his heart: "since you can't speak so much, you won't have to speak again in the future."

Shuhuai trembled with fear, and her pitiful appearance was more pitiful.

Gu Qingming held her in his arms and said in a low voice, "don't be afraid. With the master, no one can hurt you."

"Master, I'm -- I'm cold."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just burning a house. I'll find you a better and more luxurious place. "

"I don't want to - I want to go back to Jiangnan."

"Shuhuai, don't you want my life? Don't worry, no one can hurt you in Tiandu. " Gu Qinglin said with a sincere assurance on his face.

Just then, Zhao Ruyi whispered outside, "master ----"

"What's up?" Gu Qinglin was disturbed and asked angrily.

"Sir, where are we going?"

“-------”

Gu Qinglin reacted. If he was comfortable, he couldn't go back home. If he went back, he would have no life. The military aircraft office is also not allowed to go. Take an unknown woman to the military aircraft important place, so I'm afraid my official voice will be destroyed.

It happened in a hurry. Where are you going now?

Gu Qinglin loosened his comfort and restored the air and wisdom of his country.

"Ruyi, you send miss to the Yoga garden in Xicheng. I asked someone to take me to the military aircraft office. Let tits check the matter today. Be sure to find out the cause and effect of the matter to me. I'd like to see who's behind it. "

"Yes." Zhao Ruyi whispered.

After Gu Qinglin explained something, he looked at it and said, "Yuyuan is my villa outside the city. It's quiet and comfortable. Just rest there for a while. I'll pick you up when I've taken care of it. "

"Yes, sir." She said in a low voice with a sad look.

--------

Another big event happened in Tiandu city.

In a place called Yuyuan outside the city, 32 people were killed. It is said that the corpses were all over the ground. If not a servant in the garden ran to the nearby Ping'an County Yamen with his last breath to report the case, no one knew that the whole door was destroyed.

When Ping'an County Magistrate Chen ang heard the name of Yuyuan, he felt a sense of panic. He knew the origin of Yuyuan and what kind of people were behind him.

When Chen ang personally arrived at the Yuyuan with a group of constables, he almost fainted on the spot when he saw the tragedy inside. He knew that his career was over.

Not only is the official career over, but I'm afraid this little life will be explained.

Who on earth did such shameful things under his jurisdiction“ Go -- "Chen ang sat down on the ground and said shivering," help me up, get on my horse and go to the prime minister's house. I'll go myself - atonement. "------- Bang ------ Gu Qinglin's teacup fell to the ground and smashed. His face was pale and asked, "what did you say? What happened to Yuyuan? All dead? "“ Yes. " Zhao Ruyi whispered“ Ping'an County Magistrate Chen ang knelt at the door -- "get out." Gu Qinglin whispered, "let him go." Song Kuang happened to come in, saw Gu Qinglin's surprised appearance and asked, "Sir, what happened?" Gu Qinglin's eyes suddenly looked over, and song Xuan was startled. What kind of eyes are these? Like a wolf, like a tiger, like the most ferocious beast. Does he want to tear people apart and devour them before he gives up“ Master, you -- "it's all right." Gu Qinglin took back his sight, forced down his anger and said, "I'll go out and deal with some things."-------- Satin shop backyard.
