What a great way. Yuzhi clapped her hands and laughed, and asked in a low voice, "sister-in-law, what did you find? "
Xuanji was about to tell her when the door opened and a young woman walked in.
I saw her oval face, her brows were like a distant mountain, her cheeks were peach-colored, and she was actually a stunning beauty, but the corners of her eyes were mottled with tears.
When I saw the two of them, I was startled and murmured, "You really came."
Xuanji nodded.
Yuzhi was puzzled, a small face full of doubts.
Xuanji sighed slightly, stepped forward, and pulled the woman closer. Yuzhi was taken aback. The woman's neck was actually surrounded by red scars.
"I didn't bump into it by mistake just now, and this girl died."
Yuzhi said in shock, "Aren't you a candidate for the courtesan? Why did you seek death?"
The woman smiled bitterly, "My concubine is Liu Shimin, and I have long been married to my cousin Zhang Jin. My concubine is thin and beautiful, and she was bullied by the wealthy in the village. Although I was spared, my parents blocked me, but taught me to beat him. In death, the officials and the gentry colluded, the murderer was innocent, but my cousin and I were seized of the two fields."
"Cousin vowed to take this year's imperial examination to avenge his parents, but he suffered from no money to make a living to study. After thinking about it, I hid it from my cousin and entered the Yanyu Building yesterday. I have asked someone to bring it back to him. …”
"Then are you going to hang yourself now?" Yuzhi stomped and said anxiously, "Sister, you are so stupid! That fellow is so nasty, you tell me his name, I—"
Xuanji interrupted her, "Yuzhi, how to punish the wicked, let's go back and figure it out, now the most urgent thing is to save Miss Liu."
"Isn't it easy?" Yuzhi wondered, "We can either ask Barbarian to borrow some money to redeem her life, or let everyone help get her out secretly."
Xuanji's expression was slightly condensed, "No! This time, the enemies have bumped into each other. Did you know? Someone had already taken a fancy to Miss Liu last night. Whether she can win the oiran or not, it is pointed out that her bud will be broken tonight. Mom won't let anyone go."
Yuzhi frowned, "Who is it?"
Xuanji smiled bitterly, "It's Wen San."
Yuzhi lost his voice: "What? Is that pig?"
"One of the reserved tables in the hall is reserved for Wen San and his father Wen Rukai."
Yuzhi was shocked, "Wen Rukai is coming over tonight too?"
Xuanji sighed and said, "Wen San is still fine, but General Wen, you know him, so we can't show up any more. In addition, we have to find a way to rescue Miss Liu."
"However, the fifteen oirans to be selected will have a talent show later." Yuzhi bit her cherry lip and turned around anxiously, "Let's save her, once they find out that they are missing, they will soon chase after her. come up..."
Xuanji nodded, "Well, that's the problem."
She paused and smiled bitterly: "If Miss Liu's performance is good, the most troublesome thing is that she is ranked sixth in the lottery."
Yuzhi is the master who can't see the misery of others, with a small face wrinkled into a ball, stomping his feet: "What should I do?"
Liu Shimin smiled bitterly: "The two great virtues, Shimin has thanked them. It is fate after all."
Xuanji reprimanded: "Miss Liu, if you teach your cousin to know the ins and outs of this matter, won't he regret his death in his whole life? Even if he is in high school, he can't hold back his hatred. Don't think like that. A thousand questions. There are always a thousand solutions…”
At this moment, a knock was heard outside the door.
"Miss Liu, the competition will start in two quarters of an hour. You are the sixth to appear. Please dress up and prepare your musical instruments as soon as possible."
Yuzhi grabbed Xuanji's arm and said in a trembling voice, "What should I do?"
Xuanji frowned, "There is no way out, Miss Liu is good at zither, Yuzhi, can you know how to zither?"
Yuzhi nodded and then whispered, "Sister-in-law, what else do you want me to pretend to be Miss Liu to take the opportunity to let her escape? It's good to buy some time... But then Wen Rukai recognizes Yuzhi."
Xuanji blinked and smiled, "No one stipulates that masks are not allowed."
"No! No!" Yuzhi shook his head like a rattle. "I'm afraid of General Wen. I don't know why. I used to be afraid of seeing him every time he entered the palace."
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go!" Yuzhi slapped his forehead and shouted.
Xuanji smiled bitterly. She didn't know how to play the zither. Before she wore it, she often went to K sing with Yuhuan and the others. Why don't she go out and stand there to clear her throat.
It is said that Liu Shimin's talent is graceful and graceful, and he is a master of qin songs. Although I can sing on my own, I can't compare to Shi Min. Besides, singing a cappella is tedious and easy to tell the difference. It's okay to stand out and go to my grandmother's house with my face covered. I'm afraid that people will see through.
Yuzhi knows how to play the zither but doesn't dare to go out. She is not afraid of scalding, but she can't play the zither... She bit her lip and paced, thinking about it, and suddenly came up with a bold idea, and asked: "Yuzhi, a new song, what is your favorite? How long will it take to learn?"
Yuzhi thought for a while, "It's not that Yuzhi is boasting. If the score is simple, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to master it."
"That's great!" Xuanji was overjoyed, and whispered again: "Yuzhi, listen, I will immediately change my clothes for Miss Liu. After she packs up, you will take her out the back door immediately. It's not a problem to get her out lightly."
Yuzhi and Liu Shimin both stood up and listened to her with bated breath. Yuzhi touched the palm of his hand, and he was already sweating several times, only Xuanji said: "Then, you come back to meet me immediately, we still have a little time, I will teach you a song, you need to learn it as soon as possible; when the time comes, you will Masked playing the piano in the back of the stage, I sang in the front. I have to prepare some things, and when the time comes, I will turn my eyes away, and I must not let people see that I am not Shimin."
Yuzhi hugged her palm and laughed, "Sister-in-law, this is fun, you have to choose the oiran!"
"Sister-in-law, I have sent Miss Liu out... You are so beautiful."
When Yuzhi pushed the door and entered, Xuanji had just turned around from the bronze mirror.
A purple silk scarf hangs over the face.
Xuanji smiled and said, "This mother is not stingy, Shimin has a lot of clothes here, so I just picked a veil and went out to ask the maids outside to do the bun, and I also asked them to help prepare it. something."
Yuzhi circled around her, his eyes lit up, and he sighed, "Sister-in-law, Yuzhi thinks that you should be born to wear this kind of clothes and dress like this."
Xuanji laughed and scolded, "Poor mouth, time is running out, now I'll hum the tune for you..."
At the table in the front and center of Yanyu Building, several people were sitting under the smiling greeting of mother. Many people at other tables stood up with smiles all over their faces. They were about to come over to make a toast, but the middle-aged man in the seat waved his hand. There is nothing special about his appearance, with a short mustache on his lips, but his eyes are sparkling.
This scene was the same as those who were coming to toast Yun Yang just now. Those people are the six officials and military generals that Na Ming Lang said before. The identities of Na Ming Lang and Yun Yang are not only simple, but they must also be very noble.
Wu Qi secretly pulled Feng Zhanbai, the corner of Feng Zhanbai's mouth curled slightly, and said, "I don't know who the guest who just came?"
"Wen Rukai, one of the three border guards, the younger brother of the queen mother, Wen Rukai." Yun Yang said with a smile.
At this time, Wen Rukai seemed to notice their table, and there was a slight look of surprise in his eyes, Na Minglang and Yun Yang smiled, Na Minglang raised the cup in his hand, Wen Rukai smiled and raised his cup in response.
The two sides seemed to know each other, but neither of them started to greet each other.
After a while, a chubby young man came over, looked at Feng Zhanbai and others, and said, "Why are they here?"
Immediately, his face was full of gloom.
Feng Zhanbai and the others heard the words and looked over. Wasn't the person who came here the same Wen San that he saw on the street today
The three looked at each other and smiled.
Wen Rukai scolded Wen San coldly: "Don't be rude, sit down."
Small Pavilion on the second floor.
"I didn't expect Wen Rukai and those two to come." A young and handsome man sneered.
The purple-robed man beside him was pale. At this moment, two more people walked up the corridor. The purple-robed man raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuhuan, how is Xiahou?"
It was Duan Yuhuan and Xiahouchu who came, but the man in the purple robe was Long Feili, and the one who spoke first was Long Zijin.
Duan Yuhuan and Xiahouchu looked at each other, and Duan Yuhuan said in a low voice, "I have asked Ziwei to disguise and look around at each table... and found nothing."
The faces of Xia Sang and Qingfeng behind Long Feili also froze.
Long Fei looked away from his eyes, and only said lightly, "Let's explore again."
"Yes!"
Yuzhi's smiling face full of cheeks came to mind, Xia Sang clenched her palms tightly, thinking that after finding her, she would go back to the palace and give her a good lesson!
Qingfeng said: "Senior brother, if you can't find it again—"
Long Zijin replied, "The performance hasn't started yet, so I don't know where I'm hiding. With Yuzhi's temperament, I'll definitely come out to see it. There are eyeliners all over the building, and as long as they show up, they won't be missed. ."
Although he said that, there was a hint of hesitation in his tone.
Long Feili's eyes were dark brown, "If you can't find it in the middle of the performance, I will seal this Yanyu Building."
Xia Sang and Qingfeng exchanged glances.
Long Zijin frowned and said, "Ninth brother, is this matter being publicized? Wen Rukai and the others are here again..."
