"Yanzi returns!"
A low voice sounded from the crowd. Although it was not loud, it sounded like the sound of a stone falling to the ground. It stood out amidst the noise, attracting people in the crowd who had bowed their heads and focused on the "battle situation" to look back. I saw a handsome young man who was coming from the crowd. Although the color of his robe was simple and elegant, it could not hide the luxury of the brocade. At a glance, he could tell that he came from the lintel of a big house.
If it is said that not everyone in the crowd is attracted by this sudden appearance of a young man like a mansion, no, there is one person who is squatting and leaning on Nehica, and is concentrating on attacking General Jin in the jar to bite. The black armor on the opposite side was woven, and his whole face was almost buried in the jar of crickets.
But seeing that the boy frowned and stopped behind him, reached out and patted his shoulder, but was thrown away impatiently by the little brother.
"Yanzigui." The young man was not in a hurry, he just called again in a low voice, it seemed to be the name of the little brother.
This time, the little brother heard it, his spine seemed to be struck by lightning, he straightened up and turned around, with a panic-stricken look on his face, "I don't... I don't have anything..." His hands neatly hidden behind him, whoosh As soon as the ground hit the ground, he threw away the sun grass, and moved his heels in an attempt to hide the crickets that were screaming with arrogance in the earthen pot.
The young man raised his long eyebrows, and his rosy phoenix eyes seemed to be seductive, "You don't have anything?"
Yan Zigui looked in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly slandered in his heart: Evil, evil, this phoenix eye looks so charming and affectionate on the face of the princess, how can it be so evil on this kid's face? Zi Gui slandered Gui Fu, but pretended to be honest and innocent, and said in tongue twister: "I have nothing."
"Very good." The young man smiled slightly, and turned around as if he was about to leave, but the next moment he turned around unexpectedly, his toes hooked, and the earth bowl and the two crickets in it landed firmly in his hands.
The other dealer who was fighting crickets with Yan Zigui was so fascinated that he forgot that the young man also had one of his crickets in the jar in his hand.
Yan Zigui cursed inwardly: "I have no heart." While hanging his head, he obediently confessed his mistake and bowed low.
"You actually learned how to gamble?" The boy's voice was low, but Yan Zigui felt a cool aura pressing down on the back of his neck, and he couldn't help drooping his head lower and lower.
This young man is none other than Pei Chenxiao, the eldest son of the Zhongzhou palace.
But seeing Pei Chenxiao put his hand away, he turned around while holding the cricket jar and walked out of the crowd. General Jin, who had spoken to Zigui, was held in his hand, he couldn't help but quickly picked up his footsteps and followed him. He was careful along the way and said good things, but Pei Chenxiao was unmoved. The sign of returning the cricket to Zigui, but turned around in front of a restaurant, and was about to enter.
Yan Zigui was discouraged, he broke the pot and stopped in front of Pei Chenxiao, he said: "What if I'm just a gambling cricket? What are you doing to me all the time? The princes and princesses don't care about me, why do you care about me? ? I don't want you to care!"
As soon as these words came out, Zigui was shocked when he saw Pei Chenxiao's gentle smile, knowing that he must have touched the tiger's beard.
"Why should I take care of you?" Pei Chenxiao said slowly, "Just because you called me 'Daddy' back then, I'll take care of you!"
"You!" Speaking of what happened back then, Zigui seemed to have been stabbed by a lantern in his spine, slumped from head to toe, no matter how thick his face was, he couldn't handle such embarrassment, and his face flushed with shame. I can't blame others for this, who made her so young at that time, only three years old, but she was a chubby child who lacked heart and was a bit "lewd". Whenever she saw a handsome man, no matter how old or young, she would come up and shout "Daddy." ". It is said that back then, she held Pei Chenxiao, who was only six years old, alive and dead like a piece of cowhide candy, and even called him "Daddy"...
A single mistake becomes an eternal hatred! Pei Chenxiao is the righteous brother, implements the father's rule, and justifiably disciplines her from the age of five to the current age of thirteen. For eight years, Yizigui thought that this was a living history of pet domestication!
But seeing Pei Chenxiao swept past her and went upstairs, Zigui gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in hatred behind his back. At the end, she felt a little wronged in her heart. The reason why she went to the market to gamble on crickets today was because next month was Pei Chenxiao's birthday, and Zigui didn't want to reach out and buy him a gift from the prince and princess, thinking about herself. To make money to buy things for him, after thinking about it, only fighting crickets is handy and convenient. Mingming was careful and careful when he went out in the morning, how could he still be caught
Zigui was angry and was about to leave when he heard Pei Chenxiao coughing gloomily in the middle of the stairs, "Where else do you want to go?"
Although Zigui was wronged, he did not dare to say anything about this righteous brother. If she dared to walk away now, Pei Chenxiao would never let go of her body to catch up with her, but when she returned to the Zhongzhou palace, he would naturally be very ruthless. The spicy method was so good that she called Tiantian not to earth.
Therefore, Zigui had no choice but to follow behind him with a sullen look on his tail and drag him upstairs one step at a time.
But seeing that Pei Chenxiao finally stopped at the door of a private room and knocked on the door, he heard a sentence from inside: "Come in." Zigui followed behind Shen Xiao and pushed the door in.
Zigui was in a bad mood and kept his head down, not paying attention to what was going on inside until he heard a hearty laugh: "You went out for half a day to find such a child?"
Zigui raised his head and was about to explain that he was not a child, but when he saw someone coming, he paused, but saw a man sitting in the first place in the private room. Smile, like a crescent moon, gently rippling, making people feel close at first glance, but what the person said is not so "close"-
"Is this the child bride-in-law your father found for you?"
"Third Master is joking, this is her sister." The always arrogant Shen Xiao saw this man, and he was a bit casual when he spoke. You must know that Shen Xiao was always close to the princess. Regarding his biological father, the King of Zhongzhou, although Respectful but also somewhat distant. Zigui couldn't help but secretly guessed the person's origin and identity, but seeing him dressed in ordinary clothes, his expression was extravagant, and he was completely clueless.
The man did not shy away from looking at Zigui from head to toe, turned his head and smiled at Shen Xiao again, and said, "It's just that this woman disguised as a man is not very authentic. It's not as good as your mother used to be..."
Suddenly, as if some taboo topic was mentioned, the words stopped abruptly. Zigui looked up, but when he saw that the man's eyes had dimmed, he seemed to be lost in some kind of reminiscence of the past. At the end, he returned to his senses and looked out the window with a wistful smile.
Pei Chenxiao frowned, and glanced at Zigui for a while, but unexpectedly saw Zigui wearing men's clothes with a taut front. It was clear that it was Xiaohe who showed her sharp horns, but Shen Xiao twisted it up. He raised his eyebrows, and a light powder flew over his face, and he taught him: "It's not decent! It's extremely rude! How can you compare with my mother?"
"The Exotic Land Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
Zigui felt extremely aggrieved, and knew that a woman with a cold and indifferent temperament like the princess was the most perfect woman in Shen Xiao's mind, and she knew that Shen Xiao despised a stubborn and active girl like her the most. So unabashedly contempt and rebuke in front of outsiders, my heart is actually sour and sad, but I refuse to admit defeat, and contradict: "Who said I was vulgar and ugly? With a rich face, it is enough to be elected to the palace to be the empress of His Majesty the Emperor!"
When Pei Chenxiao heard this, the two long eyebrows were twisted deeper, and after coughing, he stretched out his hand and twisted Zigui's hand from behind.
Hearing the words, the person in the front laughed very happily, as if he had heard some funny joke, he leaned forward and closed his laughter, and he was very depressed, but he heard him say: "Well, the gentleman next door to you is very right. I also agree."
When Shen Xiao heard this, he seemed to be on guard and called out to him, "Third Master~"
After the man laughed enough, he said to Shen Xiao lazily, "Don't worry."
Zigui heard it inexplicably, what to worry about
However, Shen Xiao seemed to be in the middle of someone's mind, showing a bit of annoyance.
The man seemed to think that it was quite interesting to play Shen Xiaozi and Gui and the two of them. He rolled his eyes and said to Shen Xiao, "What, Xiao'er? Why don't you introduce me to the two of you?"
Zigui saw Shen Xiao's face showing a bit of anger, if it was someone else, he would have left at this moment, but today, he dared not speak, so he endured it, and said lightly: "This is the sister, Zigui." Then he said to his son, "This is the third master."
Even Pei Chenxiao had to endure three points, which shows that this person is not small, Zigui immediately blessed the person with the current affairs, and called out respectfully, "Third Master!"
Hearing the words, the man chuckled, "Don't! I don't dare to take the word 'old'. When you call me, I will add a lot of Huafa for nothing."
Zigui was embarrassed and didn't know what to do. The third master also seemed to be joking, so he could let her go and stop talking about her fault.
Zigui sat aside and watched the two play two games of chess against each other. After saying some inexplicable words, Pei Chenxiao was finally willing to lead her away. When he was walking to the door, he heard a question from the third master behind him: " Your mother... these years, how are you?"
Although the question was short, it seemed to contain a lot of hesitation, and it was heartbreaking to hear.
Shen Xiao stopped by the door and replied, "My mother is very good. It would be better if the third master could send some more beautiful maids and dancers to the house." He had already pushed the doorman to go, but he hesitated for a while and nodded. He didn't reply, as if he mentioned inadvertently: "My mother is going to see a play at the Grand Theater in the east of the city tomorrow, if the third master..." Halfway through, but not finished.
After walking a few steps, Zigui vaguely heard a sigh coming from the private room: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not my life...my life~"
Beautiful maid? Dancer? After walking a long distance, Zigui suddenly remembered that there are often beautiful maids and dancers in the house, and the person who gave the beauty...
Zigui stopped in the middle of the road, and he could think of who the third master was. He stared at Pei Chenxiao with wide eyes, and pointed his finger at the restaurant, "He, he is..."
Pei Chenxiao hooked a pair of silk-like eyes and glanced at him quietly. Zigui immediately fell silent, and rotted the words "His Majesty the Emperor" in his belly. It's just that I can't help thinking about it in my heart-
The rumors turned out to be true!
In the past, Zigui occasionally heard people talk about the past affairs of the princess. It was said that it was very ups and downs. The princess had three marriages: first, Prince Pei, second, His Majesty the Emperor. until today. It is said that the person in the heart of His Majesty the current emperor is the princess of Zhongzhou, so it is still not sealed today. What's more, many people also said that the eldest son of the King of Zhongzhou might be the orthodox dragon vein...
Originally, Zigui always felt that the prince and princess were very affectionate, and these rumors were just imagined by outsiders.
In the distance, in the Accord of the restaurant, Song Xiyuan stretched out a dusting glass, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he smiled playfully, remembering an old incident at the bottom of the box—
Song Xiyuan was eighteen years old that year, and took over the Song family's business for only two or three years. It was a busy time, and it coincided with the construction of the largest theater in Yangzhou City, "Sancang Shuiyuan", and invited the most prestigious Huizhou martial arts troupe in China to do it Song Xiyuan had no intention of going to see the opening performance, but the owner of the theater invited him warmly, so he reluctantly went.
When he was late, the play was already halfway through. Song Xiyuan didn't want to disturb the boss of the theater, so he found an empty seat at random in the lower corner of the stage and sat down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, his hand casually touched the small table where the tea was placed on the side, and was firmly grasped by a small hand sticking out from the slanting thorn on the side. Song Xiyuan was stunned, but when he turned his face, he saw a handsome "young man". He grabbed his hand and sat on the rose-ring chair beside him. He was staring at the stage with all his attention. The ups and downs of stumbling and jumping, dancing with knives and sticks.
Song Xiyuan secretly reviewed it. In the past, he only knew that he had a certain amount of female predestined relationship. Today, he realized that there is still one or two points of male predestined relationship...
At the climax of the play, the "juvenile" drank well, stretched out his hand to stretch Song Xiyuan, and said, "Lvying, look! This somersault is better than our troupe He Chunke?"
As soon as they turned their heads, the two of them had a pair of eyes, and the "juvenile" frowned, and he tossed Song Xiyuan's hand aside as if he was throwing something.
Song Xiyuan has never been looked at by such disgusting eyes since he was a child.
At this moment, the "young man" turned his head and added an apology: "This brother, I have offended you so much, I thought the man sitting next to me was my servant, but I don't know where he went... "
To be honest, Song Xiyuan didn't hear what he said, but he found something strange and smiled secretly in his heart. It turned out that there is no "young man" at all, in the final analysis, it is still "women's predestined relationship"!
At this time, the "young man" had turned around and continued to watch the play. Song Xiyuan patted his arm lightly with the folding fan. Seeing that the "young man" turned around in confusion, Song Xiyuan smiled and tapped the top of his lips with the folding fan. watch with him.
It turns out that this is just a lady who disguised herself as a man and went out to the theater. She put two mustaches under her nose and pretended to be a man. However, the mustache that was pasted was no more reliable than the mustache that grew out. , Now this little girl lost a moustache somewhere, and only the other one was hanging on her lips alone, which was quite interesting from a distance.
The young lady was quite astute, she reacted at once and reached out to touch it, but she didn't panic. She lowered her head and looked around calmly, and finally found another beard in the tea cup on the side.
What happened next made Song Xiyuan stunned.
But seeing that the young lady took the beard out of the teacup without hesitation, wiped the beard dry with the silk handkerchief found in the sleeve pocket, and then freely put the beard back on her face, The action is smooth and natural.
At the end, he brushed off the tail of his beard, bowed his hands to Song Xiyuan, and said casually, "Thank you, thank you."
Very weird.
According to Song Xiyuan's understanding of women in the past 18 years, if a normal lady encounters this situation - a woman disguised as a man is dismantled on the spot, I am afraid that she will hide under the table in embarrassment, or hide her face ashamed and blush and run away, Have you ever seen something so calm and interesting
Just waiting to ask which young lady it was, the play was over, and a "little servant" who also disguised herself as a man appeared, but seeing the bearded lady's phoenix eyes slightly raised, she looked at the "little boy" with anger and anger. Servant" glanced and left with her.
At first glance, this bearded lady doesn't look very prominent, but when she looks at it, there is an indescribable smell in it. Just one glance makes people feel that Yangzhou has all the fireworks in March. People suddenly shook their heads.
When Song Xiyuan returned to his senses, the master and servant had disappeared into the crowd, as if they had never appeared before...
After that, Song Xiyuan didn't have time to find out where this young lady came from, so he ordered to go north, and when he returned to Yangzhou, the first entertainment was the wedding banquet of the magistrate Pei.
"Is your virginity still there?"
Seeing that the bride took off her hijab, she indifferently asked a shocking sentence, Song Xiyuan knew it, it was too late, too late!
Shen Miao was mistaken for life at first sight.
That chance encounter ended up in the misty rain in Yangzhou...
