old friends return

After sorting out her somewhat confused thoughts, Liu Qingyan thought over and over again, and decided to take up a pen and write a memorial to Emperor Hengde, mentioning that Cheng Muzhi would go to Cangzhou with him at that time.

He really didn't want to see this stupid gentleman again...

Emperor Hengde is not a tyrant, but he doesn't tolerate loyal ministers and listens to courtiers. If he doesn't care about a few lives, he misjudges a few cases. The most serious thing is that he doesn't care about the disaster situation and the victims, heh...

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan sneered, how much did he care about the flood in Cangzhou?It's just thinking of finding someone to distribute the money for disaster relief earlier, that's all.

Emperor Hengde is far from a tyrant, but he is only short of killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Great Zhou has a strong foundation, and it should have been evergreen, but it will be delayed by such an emperor at the time of Zhongxing. Mu Zhi, when you sit on the throne in the future, you will definitely clear up this situation...

Will I still live to that time?

After Liu Qingyan finished writing this memorial, she leaned back a little tiredly, pressed her brow, "Yuanbao—"

"What's your order?" Yuan Bao came in from the door, holding a warm Mrs. Tang in his hand, and a cloak that had just been scented with incense in his arms. "Sir, do you want to change Mrs. Tang or go out?"

Seeing how meticulously he took care of her, Liu Qingyan felt better at last, and waved to him, "You hand over this memorial to the palace for me, and ask Eunuch Su to give it to the emperor."

Putting the memorial in his hand, he held up Mrs. Tang who he had just held in his hand, "Smart ghost, how did you know I was going out today?"

Yuan Bao smiled and nodded, "My lord hasn't eaten yet, so he must have an appointment with someone. Otherwise, it's time for me to prepare lunch."

As he spoke, he carefully put on the cloak for Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan looked at him with a smile, "You don't have to do all these things by yourself. There are so many servants in Shangshu's mansion, what do you look like as a housekeeper?"

Yuan Bao scratched his head foolishly, "I'm busy getting used to it."

"My lord, do you want someone to go out with you when you're younger? It's good to have someone to take care of you."

"No need, go and do your own business, I'll do it myself."

"Yes, my lord, be careful on the road!" Yuan Bao took the memorial and led the horse to the backyard.

Liu Qingyan left the Shangshu Mansion, instead of walking towards the street, instead, he walked more and more sideways, and turned into a small alley.

This alley is a well-known ghost alley in Shengjing. Few people come here, let alone live there. The dead trees on both sides of the alley almost cover the sky above the alley, making it dark.

Liu Qingyan was alone, and walked to the end of the alley on the dead leaves.

The gray brick and blue tile walls were covered with withered vines. Facing the crumbling wooden door, Liu Qingyan buckled it hard three times and then twice lightly.

The wooden door opened with a "squeak" sound, allowing one person to enter.

After entering the door, I only heard a drunken voice from inside, "My dear student, did you bring wine for the teacher?"

Liu Qingyan didn't answer him, "Do the math, how many years do I have left?"

The drunken voice became sober all of a sudden, replaced by a full-bodied one, and out of the dark door came a strange-looking old man who was blind in one eye.

It was the half-blind man who told Cheng Muzhi and Liu Qingyan's fortune.

"Oh, didn't you agree not to ask this question? This is a secret, don't let it out! Besides, why did you suddenly come to ask the old man this question?"

"When will the war start?" Liu Qingyan asked again.

"Old man, I don't know!" The half-blind man turned his head away, still holding a wine gourd in his hand.

"You haven't asked me this question for several years. That kid hasn't changed his life yet. Why are you so anxious to kill him every day!"

As he spoke, he became a little angry, and his beard curled up, "I've taught you the gossip and six lines, and the tortoise shell inscriptions. If you're really in a hurry, do the math yourself!"

Liu Qingyan frowned, "Didn't fortune tellers never tell their own fortunes?"

"As long as you know it!" The half-blind man shook his head, "You came to see me, what else can you do?"

"The medicine is gone." Liu Qingyan came to ask him these questions today, and didn't expect him to really answer himself, but hoped that he would slip up when he was drunk.

But now it seems that there is no idea.

The half-blind man pointed to the back room, "Get the old place yourself."

Liu Qingyan went to the back room, and when she came out, she had an oiled paper bag in her hand, like the medicine that ordinary people would grab when they saw a doctor.

The half-blind man took a sip of wine and pulled him to sit down, "If you haven't had lunch, you can eat with me," he poured out a roast duck from under the table, and brought a plate of fish and shrimp from an ancient well, There is a bag of peanuts in the cuffs, and there is a jar of old wine buried under the banyan tree.

Liu Qingyan sat down and squeezed a peanut.

"Do you believe that fate can change?" The half-blind man asked him with a duck leg in his mouth, "I said, don't worry too much, in a year and a half at most, see if your wolf cub can change his life by himself , you think about whether you want to kill him, can't you?"

Liu Qing said nothing, picked a piece of fish with chopsticks, picked the spines, and ate slowly.

The half-blind man shook his head, "At first I was entrusted by someone to take care of that wolf cub, but now I put all my attention on you. You child is really worry-free."

Liu Qingyan took a sip of wine, "At the beginning, I agreed to follow you for a year and you let me go. You pulled me and asked me to stay for a few more years."

"Hey, I said you child is as poor as anyone, so you are poor in front of me? If I don't keep you, where will you go in those few years? Can you go to the rivers and lakes alone?" The half-blind man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared .

"Are you okay today? Are you afraid that the emperor will suddenly call you back?"

Liu Qingyan shook his head, "It's nothing, Emperor Hengde will let me enter the palace again today, and I won't go. Naturally, he won't let Su Wenquan invite me."

Liu Qingyan stared at his frightening left eye, and suddenly said, "Master?"

The half-blind man's heart trembled when he called him, and he responded in disbelief, "What... what's wrong?"

"Who entrusted Master to take care of Cheng Muzhi?" Liu Qingyan paused slightly, "What's the matter with your eyes?"

The half-blind man paused his hand for peeling the shrimp, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he said with a loud smile for a long time: "You want to hear about the past, it doesn't matter, I have not told anyone about my past for many years. You're so heroic, let's have a good chat with you today!"

The half-blind man read aloud for a long time, seemed to be a little excited, and the corners of his eyes became moist unconsciously.He got up and went into the house, and came out after a long time.

He changed into a brand-new champion suit, as if he had never worn it before. His originally disheveled hair was tied up high, and he wore a jade crown, and a goldfish bag hung from his waist as a decoration.

When Liu Qingyan looked at him again, she suddenly felt sad.

How young should this person be back then?
