The red sun was slanting to the west, Xie Yilu was cutting his Xifu Begonia under the east window, the flowers had just bloomed, tender and beautiful, and Da Tian was squatting at the edge of the vegetable field behind him, cutting leeks one by one.
"Master," he sneered, "is it alright?"
Xie Yilu was absent-minded: "What's okay?"
"Sister," Da Tian looked back at him while holding a handful of thick green leeks, "You went out in the middle of the night last night, didn't you go to find your sister?"
"Nonsense," Xie Yilu also turned his head, "I don't engage in prostitution."
"Hey," Da Tian pouted, "Don't be a whore, look at how you came back in the morning, you just got your mouth full, and you still don't admit it to me!"
Xie Yilu wanted to refute, opened his mouth twice but gave up, and finally said embarrassedly: "It's not what you think..." He turned back, afraid that Datian would see the smile lines around his mouth, "It's... a good friend," aftertaste Last night, the temperature and touch were still on the lips, "It's nothing, it's just..."
"Touched hands? Armed shoulders?" Datian asked enthusiastically, "Kissed?"
Xie Yilu remained silent.
"It's appointed to kiss!" Datian smacked his lips enviously, "You officials, you have one at home and one hidden outside, you really enjoy it!"
Hearing him say "from home", Xie Yilu felt sad again: "I asked you to send the letter this morning, have you sent it yet?"
"I have sent it, master," Datian smiled innocently, "You have joined Eunuch Zheng, you should be rich, when will you give me a raise?"
Even a long follower who waited on people knew about his betrayal, Xie Yilu turned cold and said, "I didn't take any money from him."
"My lord, you are so stupid," Datian waved the kitchen knife, facing the blood-like red light of Luoxia, scorching people's eyes brilliantly, "he has a lot of silver!"
The words were not speculative, Xie Yilu put down the scissors, patted the dust on the robe, got up and walked out: "There is a game at night, you sleep on your own."
He does have a situation, he doesn't like to go to Zheng Mian's family banquet, so he just spends his time at home, and when he goes out, he turns left, and there is a sedan chair parked on the side of the road ahead. There is a crack, and someone inside calls: "Chun Hoe."
Hearing that voice, Xie Yilu stopped, he should have turned back, but he didn't want to, and then called again: "Chun Hoe, just a few words."
His heart finally softened, he went back and got into the sedan chair, Qu Feng sat in it, the golden red setting sun shone in through the gap between the wooden planks and the covering, making that face bloody and unfamiliar.
As usual, they sat side by side: "I'm here to thank you," Qu Feng said, "You sacrificed your life to save me, and I will never forget it in this life."
Xie Yilu choked on him: "I just want you to remember?"
Qu Feng didn't speak, Xie Yilu stared straight at him: "I want you to come out alive and well, and have a drink with me!"
Qu Feng lowered his head: "You don't drink at all..."
Xie Yilu was angry: "There's nothing to say," he waved his hands again and again, "I have nothing to say to you, a car running on two roads!"
Qu Feng made him very anxious: "What can I do, you are already a member of Zheng Mi, and you have to let me in to be worthy of you?"
"I'm sorry!" Xie Yilu yelled suddenly, "You're sorry for my heart!"
Qu Feng was obviously frightened by his voice, and lowered his voice in horror: "Slow down!"
"Afraid that people will know that you are with me?" Xie Yilu sneered, "I'm afraid you don't come!" He lifted the curtain to go out, but Qu Feng firmly grabbed his sleeve: "Xie Yilu!" He hid in the shadows, Refusing to show her head, "Remember, when the time comes, I will repay your kindness for the rest of my life!"
Xie Yilu pulled his sleeve out of his hand vigorously: "Sneakily repay your kindness, Mr. Qu!" Before leaving, he threw him an auspicious word, "As soon as possible, fly to the top!"
Both of them were angry, but no one could stop the words here, Xie Yilu flicked his sleeves and walked in the sunset, angrily, clangingly, with a kind of leisurely pleasure.
When we arrived at Zheng Xian's residence, the banquet had already started. It was said to be a banquet, but it was actually more like a gathering. There were five or six big couches on the small hall by the water. The guests were sitting on the couches, surrounded by beauties .
Xie Yilu was dumbfounded when he entered. Those women were wearing naked gauze shirts, combing peony hair that is popular nowadays, dotted with emerald flowers, and gold bracelets on their limbs.
Guo Xiaozhuo was occupying the sandalwood couch next to Zheng Mian, with his cheeks stretched out across his head, arrowhead sand dotted between his brows, no shoes or socks, a pair of delicate white feet lounging by the couch, holding a Melon, bite one after another.
"Take it off quickly," Zheng Mi pointed to his bun, on which there was a small hairpin, the color was pure silver, "Don't let me see the shabby things!"
Guo Xiaozhuo pretended not to hear it, her little feet shook even more.
Zheng Mi stretched out his leg and kicked his couch: "It's still beautiful," he asked everyone to comment jokingly, "I don't know what this kid did, he got involved with a little fireman, should I say him! "
All the people invited tonight were confidantes, and no one met with him. While eating melon seeds, Tu Yao said, "My child, you are too lenient in what you want me to do, Dugong."
Zheng Mi immediately sat up straight, wanting to open his posture to have a good discussion with him, when he caught sight of Xie Yilu from the corner of his eye, he quickly waved: "Why did Chunhoe come here, hurry up, today's 'big rescue' is good."
The servants responded with a plate of hair cakes mixed with walnuts and dipped in milk. It was really exquisite, but it was a bit exaggerated to call it "Big Rescue". Xie Yilu took it and sat down on a couch. All the performers playing and singing are female actresses, they should be Zheng Mi's home troupe. Today he is dressed like a Taoist priest, with bare feet, loose hair, and a small purple gold crown. Because of his good looks, he wears a black cloak, and his gestures are cold Gorgeous like a fairy.
"He's not a fire fighter," Guo Xiaozhuo gave Zheng Mian an annoyed look, "he's one of the few under Liao Jixiang's hands, besides, I'm just playing around, so do I have to find a grandson?"
Zheng Xian made him annoyed: "If you want to play, you can pick and choose people. If you want money or not money, if you want 'guy' or 'guy', what is there to play with!"
"Guy" refers to men, of course, Xie Yilu laughed, Zheng Mian and Liao Jixiang are really different, they don't expect to hurt each other, they only love to be rich and powerful.
After eating the cake and wiping his hands, something rubbed against his feet. Xie Yilu thought it was a cat, so he raised his foot in fright, and looked down. It turned out to be a ball with carp embroidered on the red satin surface, chasing the ball and running up A child, combing the horns, two or three years old, with big black eyes like grape grains, swollen and painful, followed by an older child, seven or eight years old, dressed in golden clothes, like a gentleman.
"Father!" The child saw Zheng Mi among the beauties and yelled. Xie Yilu was so startled that he hurriedly went to see Tu Yao, who whispered to him, "I bought it, a fake son."
No wonder Zheng Mi didn't care, and instead of getting up to hug, he pushed out the topless women and asked him to call them "mothers". The child yelled foolishly, those "mothers" stamped their bright red lips on his little face one after another, Xie Yilu couldn't see it, went up to hold the child down, and wiped him with his sleeves.
At this time, the older child climbed onto the empty couch, hugged a woman casually and kissed her. Seeing this, Xie Yilu pulled Tu Yao in horror: "You bought that one too?"
Tu Yao burst into laughter: "That's not a child," he pressed against Xie Yilu's ear, "It's a dwarf called Brother Ling, Duke Du invited him to 'see a doctor'."
Xie Yilu was stunned: "What disease?"
"The 'disease' below," Tu Yao winked at him, "he has learned from lamas, and there are no prostitutes in Nanjing who are not afraid of him, so they call him 'Hua Li Demon King'."
Xie Yilu opened his mouth blankly, while Tu Yao stared at Zheng Mi's belly: "Look, is there a bulge on Dugong's place? It's hanging with medicine. Shunfeng Banner, also called Dragon and Tiger Clothes."
Xie Yilu thought of Liao Jixiang, and his heart moved: "Yes, is it useful?"
"It's the root of the moth." Tu Yao guessed that he didn't understand. "The male moth is so promiscuous that the female moth doesn't even touch it. The male moth hugged the tree and rubbed against it. When he died, the root had penetrated into the wood." , someone broke the tree and took it and used it as medicine."
"Then..." Xie Yilu blushed, "How much?"
Tu Yao looked at him unexpectedly: "You use it?"
"No, it's not..." Xie Yilu thought about it, "I... try."
Tu Yao looked down at him openly: "It's not like..."
At this time, another guest arrived, and the little fireman led the way, followed by an eunuch. Xie Yilu took a look and found that it was Ruan Tian.
Ruan Tian was also stunned when she saw him, with a guilty expression, she stopped on her feet, and was spotted by Zheng Mi: "Brother," he leaned forward, as if he was afraid that he would embarrass him and thank Yilu, "Liao Jixiang's opponent It's not your enemy, don't hurt your temper."
Ruan Tian and Xie Yilu quickly exchanged glances and laughed: "That's right, Master Xie and I have no holiday."
He walked over and sat down on the empty couch. Xie Yilu pretended to be calm, but in fact he was very unhappy for Liao Jixiang—Ruan Dian came to see Zheng Mian behind his back, showing double-decker.
"Brother," Zheng Mi casually pointed to one of the young ladies beside him, and politely moved to Ruan Tian's side, "I heard that you are short of money recently?"
Ruan Tian didn't refuse, and readily admitted: "The one at home costs a lot."
He was talking about sister Yangzhou in Zhushi. Zheng Mi was playing with a wine glass, and suddenly passed the words: "What's the future of following Liao Jixiang, why don't you come and help me?"
Xie Yilu stared at Ruan Tian, seeing that he was slippery and calm: "It's too early to say this, Zheng Jiuye."
Zheng Xian laughed, not caring at all: "No hurry," he rolled his eyes suddenly, as if remembering something, "I heard...you have been whipped by Liao Jixiang?"
This is a bit like exposing scars, Guo Xiaozhuo, Tu Yao, and Brother Ling all looked at Ruan Dian, Ruan Dian was shameless, and laughed: "I've suffered a lot, I'm used to it."
At this moment, Xie Yilu really felt that he would turn his back on Liao Jixiang. Among the confidantes in the Weaving Bureau, he and Liao Jixiang were the only ones whose tempers were at odds, not to mention that he didn't study and was a mercenary villain.
There was only one vacant couch in the hall, Zheng Mi glanced at it without any trace, and said with some disappointment: "Come on," he put down his glass, and flung his long hair from his back to his chest in a weather-beaten manner. , cupped his hands slightly, and winked at the guests, "Let's play later."
As he spoke, he came out from the "flesh screen" surrounded by three wives and four concubines, and with the support of the little fireman, walked around the pillars and turned to the back of the small hall. Xie Yilu foolishly followed him and took two steps, Noticing that Tu Yao hadn't moved, he asked, "Why didn't you come?"
With a smile on his face, Tu Yao cracked the melon seeds: "You go, I'm not interested."
Xie Yilu didn't think much, turned around the pillars, behind was a dark room, he entered rashly, in an instant, as if stung by a bee, he covered his face.
Inside is a piece of white flesh, male and female, surrounded by bees and butterflies like bees and butterflies, serving him up and down, this scene is really frightening, Xie Yilu wanted to avoid it, but he froze and couldn't move. Brother Ling passed him in, and took off his clothes on the floor as he walked. He looked like a child, but hurriedly squeezed to Zheng Mian's side, rubbing his chest skillfully, even obscenely.
Xie Yilu's gaze swept across the room, he was so flustered that he had nowhere to rest, a few engraved copies of "Jin Ping Mei" were scattered on the ground, and the pages of the opened books were full of explicit eroticism.
He staggered back, passed by Ruan Tian with a flushed face, as if he had seen something terrible, pointed behind him and said, "Inside... oh, it's ridiculous!"
Ruan Tian raised one side of her lips with deep meaning, as if she knew the mystery in the dark room, and teased him familiarly: "Isn't that the case, it scares you!"
The tone of the two of them was by no means unfriendly, Tu Yao couldn't help narrowing his eyes and staring at it, Xie Yilu noticed it, walked quickly towards him, and at the same time pointed to the big empty couch and asked: "Who is this? "
Tu Yao looked at him with a probing look: "Gong Nian," his expression was as sharp as a knife: "Too ignorant, I ignored the Duke's kindness."
