Peony Heavy Ripple Carmine

I was sighing and worrying all the way, I hated Li Yang, why was my mind fuming and wanted to go back with them.Even if I'm not staying in Qianliu, it's fine for me to wander around.What's more, I ran back, where do I live?

I don't want to provoke some individuals, but now that this appearance appears on the street, it is inevitable that some interested people will notice.

How can this be done?As soon as Chexue arrived in Liyang, she hurried to Lord Wang Zhongxian's mansion, even the two Fengshuang beside her didn't know what she was anxious about...

The car wobbled all the way to Jinxing Lu Mansion, Lianxiang asked me if I wanted to go with them, I obviously saw Chong Zi pulling the corner of her clothes, so I roughly understood it, and waved my hands with a busy smile.But in the end, he borrowed her car, instructed the driver, and just walked around Li Yang.The coachman was also an honest man, and he didn't ask too many questions, so my heart became calmer. Coincidentally, I still had some silver in my hand, so I opened the curtain and threw it to him.

I still know a few people in Liyang, and the relationship is reasonable, but I don't want to go around usually.This meeting also happens to be the end of the new year, and those who usually run around have probably packed their bags and returned to Liyang for the new year.As for those individuals, most of them were not born and raised in the local area, and most of them made their fortunes in the labor industry, so they moved to Liyang with their families incognito.But individuals have their own ways, and I never ask about these private matters.People happily walk on Yangguan Road, after all, I still have my own single-plank bridge.

I lay down in the car and was about to go down the mountain at sunset, so I sat up and told the driver, let’s go to Wangmengxuan on Housichang Street in Nancheng.

At this time, she should also come back.

Ding Ziyun.

No, just as I asked the coachman to knock on the door to inform, a man ran out of the house with a gust of breeze.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he withdrew his strength as soon as he reached the front of the car.

A cloak was handed out, I quickly put it on, and entered with Ziyun hand in hand.

Eh?I remember that when I was writing a letter to my family, I mentioned something about Ziyun to Xiaoxia, or I would take this opportunity to call him and let him arrange my affairs, by the way...

Sigh...Anyway, let Ziyun be my sister-in-law, maybe the two of us can really hit it off.

Ding Ziyun is also a forthright person. Among the group of friends, I get along best with my temper, and she is also righteous. If there is something to ask her for, she will do it directly.

I am an unreliable person who appreciates her the most. In fact, I have long wanted to change that bad habit, but I always find various excuses to change it.But it's irrelevant to the overall situation. The people around me are used to me, and they all understand it thoroughly. It's all indifferent things.But I still don't dare to be waterproof about big things. You have to take responsibility as a human being, otherwise His Majesty the Dragon God will have to issue a decree to punish me.

Heh, this girl is not idle when she comes back to Liyang. A few days ago, she seems to have taken on a job that the boss can't afford. Now she goes to the workshop before dawn to tinkle, and the moonlight is on the treetops. Reluctantly coming out there, I usually wait for her to have an extra meal, which is euphemistically called: drink some wine in winter to dispel the cold.

So I stayed in Wangmengxuan. Although I didn't dare to walk on the street blatantly, anyway, I ran to find Chexue if I had something to do.

Yanxi didn't know where she found out that I was back, and asked Wanying to send me a message since the second day I settled down in Wangmengxuan.The general idea is to go to her when you encounter something that is really unreasonable.

I was surprised and felt that even Yanxi, the princess in the deep house, was so well-informed. It is conceivable that if someone wanted to make trouble for me, wouldn't it be that I would have been decapitated by now.Let alone anything else, even these people I have come into contact with cannot escape.

My brows were so close together, I lay down on the table in a fit of anger, and after thinking about it for a long time, the tea was cold.

... But according to Yanxi's words, it should be safe for the time being, so I was relieved thinking of this.For the time being, let's take one step at a time, keep a low profile and avoid being in the limelight.

Later, I secretly went to Yanxi's place to inquire a few times, until she finally gave me an affirmative answer, the stone in my heart fell to the ground.

I didn't want to go to her at first, I always felt restrained and bowed her head, and the aura of that person always made me breathless, although let's say, this person's age is too much behind me, let a It's really uncomfortable for the child to go ahead of me.

But I admire her very much. Although Yanxi is young, she grew up in the palace after all, and she is more accurate than anyone else in knowing where the chess pieces should fall.

With the reassurance Yanxi gave me, I dare to go out on the street for a while now.From door to door, the days go by quickly.Chexue has been busy with something lately. She went to see her seven or eight times, but at most she could only see her once...

Can't say what it feels like, but she must have something on her mind.Asked her, she just smiled and didn't say anything, it may be seen that her brows are getting tighter every day.One day I couldn't bear it anymore and asked Chong Zilianxiang, they seemed to be in collusion, their mouths were very tight, no matter how hard I tried, they couldn't pull out anything, which made me very depressed.

Let's say that one day when I came out of the Lu Mansion for a leisurely stroll, it was obvious that someone was watching me. What's going on?I'm still panicking. It stands to reason that I thought there were too few guards in the Lu residence, but recently there seems to be a new group of guards. Could it be that they... Strange!However, I have seen a lot of strange people when I went to her house a few times. After all, it is Jinxing Lu Mansion. Although it may be low-key on the surface, it is still a big force in the ruling and opposition parties. Jia Tianxia, ​​after all, there are some hidden guards, shadow guards, etc. as mentioned in the storybook. Maybe it's because I walk too close to Chexue, so I have to be on guard.

Alas, I feel relieved when I think about it, I am really a calm person.

On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, Yanxi invited Wanying and me to another banquet of running water.Wanying's body is weak, and she can't withstand the coldness of winter. Since the beginning of winter, she has been sick sporadically and hasn't recovered.She didn't turn around until the day of the appointment, which made me feel pitiful.Both Ziyun and Gu Qingpeng persuaded her to go back to Yanxi truthfully, but Wanying comforted her that she had rejected Yanxi so many times this winter, and if she refused again this time, it might be a bit unjustifiable.

Seeing that she is usually weak and weak, if she has a stubborn temper, she can't be dragged away by a thousand cows.

really……

"Sister Qin, thank you... Usually, sister is always with me..."

Ding Ziyun, your grandma has such a leg, I knew that your well-behaved appearance was buried with uneasiness and kindness!Ya also pretended to be pitiful and said that she couldn't go, which made me feel guilty, and I had to go with me anyway, but I thought you saw a life-saving lamb and put it on the table for me to slaughter.啊啊啊啊啊这下好了，又得被那小不点的郡主挖苦了，你以为我愿意去招惹妍溪啊你以为我愿意去啊不就在你们家住上个几天啊又不是不给The rent is free, do you think you are the only one who is unwilling to go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion! ! ! !

But...forget it, Wanying is also a likable girl.And... I haven't seen Chexue for a long time. If Yanxi invites, Chexue will definitely go. Maybe I can get some surprises from Princess Yanxi this time.

I am a person who forgets my troubles quickly, and happily followed Wanying to the other courtyard of the Seventh Prince's Mansion in a blink of an eye.

Yanxi is a very lively person, and today is no exception. Just because of her most favored name, it is difficult for ordinary people to even meet her.The ladies and brides from various families gathered together to talk about the recent famous romantic talents in Liyang, clusters of clusters were also very lively, they all said that three women performed a drama, and now there are thousands of dramas being performed.Wanying likes to be quiet, and she is similar to Chexue in temperament.I sat with her in the warming room, looking around all the time, but I haven't seen the person I met after looking for a long time.Liu Zhu had just finished playing a song and came over to sit next to Qian Xueer from the Huashang Escort Bureau, seeing that I was not interested because I didn't see Chexue, so I gathered a few people to join a table game, I think it's okay , and chatted with them one after another.Wanying meekly sat on my left side, holding a warm stone in her hand, watching me play cards.

After the round was over, I suggested Wanying to try a few for me, and she blushed and changed seats with me.

I think Wanying is really smart by nature, after my guidance, she became familiar with the routine in a short while, and I also felt that my face was bright, so I hugged the Liuqin that was temporarily put aside, and asked the loser Liuzhu to dial it Sweeping the piece, I actually made a few crisp sounds, which I found interesting for a while.

I felt someone standing beside me, and when I raised my head, I never thought that Yanxi walked up to me lightly, and there was a meaningful smile in her eyes, which made Monk Zhang Er puzzled.A few people playing cards in the besieged city hurriedly got up and saluted. When Wanying reached Wanying, Yanxi waved her hand to signal her to excuse her. Perhaps seeing her in poor health, she followed suit.I still stayed on the stool and didn't get up. It's not that I became more courageous when I came out from her. It's because I told Princess Yanxi not to stick to etiquette, and she agreed, and I'm not the one who doesn't wink , no one was present this week, so I simply pretended to be lazy.

Yanxi narrowed her phoenix eyes at me, as if she had something to say, I saw her glance at the peony hairpin I was wearing today, her eyebrows and eyes raised, I jumped up in shock, the piano almost fell to the ground .She gave you a sensible smile, turned around and left.I felt that she seemed to have something to say to me, so I greeted Wanying, followed her quickly, and followed her respectfully.

When the lights are dimmed, the moonlit night is drunk and people are slightly drunk. Leaning on the railing and overlooking, a piece of wine and green is in sight.

"You should always follow Lu Chexue."

I nodded dumbly, don't look at those people who are thousands of miles away, but just like who said, as long as you are still in this circle, there are no secrets here.Therefore, even if it is a trivial matter, it is reasonable to know even the backyard.

"You are a clever person, Xian Ge. You have to say you didn't see some things even if you see something, even if that person has a relationship with you that you can't figure out, because of the relationship, someone will always protect you, and you will stay by her side for a while Now, I think you understand all these things." She looked at me who was confused, "I shouldn't have asked you to mention you, but I was soft-hearted, and I was afraid that you would be stupid again, and you wouldn't be able to turn the corner. Repeat the same mistakes. Isn't your loss this time enough to teach you a lesson?"

"Princess, Xian Ge is ignorant, and I didn't understand what you mean..." I heard her say this, why do I feel a little confused, I'd better pretend to be stupid and ask her.

Xiange, people are at a high place, every blessing is bound to be a curse, don't be impulsive and become a scapegoat again. "

"You... ah..." Yanxi must have seen through what I was saying to her, and shook her head amusedly, "Okay, since you asked, I would like to see if she has the same heart with you."

I was stunned, this she... Could it be Chexue?

Before I could hesitate, Yanxi's voice sounded again, "Do you know why Lu Chexue came to Beijing this time?"

"I don't know." I clearly saw a slight disdainful smile on Yanxi's expression.I've seen her show this expression many times, and my heart sank. "Can the Princess please call me?"

"I shouldn't have told you this, but you, don't have a spirituality that makes people look down on you..." She flicked her sleeves, turned her back, her eyes scattered among the feasting lights, and said leisurely: " Recently, there have been constant wars on the frontier, foreign aggression, military expeditions, and the enemy's intention to attack. Coupled with some people with ulterior motives, wouldn't the coincidence of the two sides be a good time to make a move? Foreign enemies have been coveting the Venus Dragon Knight for a long time, although in recent years Lu The family has long been indifferent to court affairs, but they have not all escaped from the ruling and opposition parties. There are not a few descendants of the Lu family who wear pin crowns. Although they do not occupy high positions, they are unspeakable. What's more, the daughters of the Lu family And with the favor of the Dragon God, the marriage with the Mo family, a wealthy businessman, is just around the corner, is it unbearable?" Although I don't fully understand what she said, but the tone is ominous, and when Yanxi finished speaking, I squeezed cold sweat in my palm.

"Princess, don't scare Xiange, she...Chexue...the Lu family will be fine, right?"

Yanxi turned her head to look at me, she smiled noncommittally, Liu Ye'er's eyebrows were curved and charming, her red lips were lightly raised, and she looked at Qingcheng.

"Today I have invited Lu Chexue, Xian Ge, have you seen her?" She smiled charmingly, put aside these words, got off the Peony Pavilion, and walked away with the two young ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion, who would be shocked. I haven't recovered from it for a long time, and I threw it there.

Something must have happened, I thought of Che Xue's much haggard face the day before yesterday.

You make my heart ache so much. What are you doing these days, Lu Chexue? You have to deal with internal and external troubles...Could it be possible...

I covered my mouth in fear.

I'm going to see her, I'm going to see her.

I hurried back to the warming room, seeing my complexion, several people hurriedly asked, I faltered and said something was wrong, why couldn't Wanying's eight-treasure exquisite heart see through me?She asked the attendant to drive me home to rest first. When I was hesitating, Wanying smiled and excused me and said that she still wanted to stay here for a while, and Miss Qian from the Huashang Escort Bureau said that she would send Wanying back.I took her advice, and I felt very sorry, but I was very anxious about Che Xue, and now I felt like rushing to her with all my heart.

I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Princess Yanxi, so I ran all the way out of the other courtyard.The handlebar was about to go back, so I told him to go to Lu's mansion instead.The handlebar was a little taken aback, and then he got my attention, and the car drove towards the east of the city.

I was so anxious that when the car approached Lu's mansion, it was still the usual state of singing and dancing in the capital. !Because those soldiers blocked me, the car also stopped at a place where I couldn't see the gate from a distance. I walked through the streets and alleys to find out what happened. Before I got close, I heard a cough.The hairs on my body stood up one by one, and the dagger in my hand was about to be unsheathed, when I turned around and saw the old man who set up a tea stall at the gate of the General's Mansion. When I came to look for Chexue, I always went to him to have a drink A big bowl of tea.

Don't look at the usual dry and thin appearance, the bones of the body will collapse when the wind blows.Tonight I saw that I was also very clever, he approached me suddenly, put my dagger back into the sheath with one hand and held my wrist with the other, his eyes were shining brightly.I almost shouted, but he covered my mouth and said in a low voice, "Come with me, don't make trouble."

My heart sank, this old man was actually a master of concealment, I was discouraged and regretted it too late.

The old man's lightness kung fu must be very high, I was surprised to find that he led me to fly the wall that night, and it was lighter than when I walked by myself.At any rate, he walked through an alley with countless facades, and he also stopped, turned around and punched me: "The old guy offended me."

I couldn't think at the moment, so I reflexively returned the greeting. He made a gesture of please, and I looked up, and it turned out to be the Chang'an silk and satin shop in the back street of the Lu Mansion.Before I started to turn my head, the old man pushed me, and I staggered and fell into the door, and he quickly grabbed me.I am also fortunate that I have practiced kung fu all the year round, and I have strength in my feet. Even if I leaned over, I would not move lightly, but in the end I fell to the ground.In comparison, the old man's tugging at me also made me turn around so that my head wouldn't be turned downwards, which saved me some embarrassment.

As soon as the door was closed, only the remaining oil lamp was lit in the house.

"Miss Qin, please forgive me for obstructing you. It's just that if you just go ahead blindly, you won't get what you want, but you will hurt the girl. This is something my master doesn't want to see."

I was still sitting on the ground at this moment, my head was hurting badly, just now I saw the group of soldiers in front of the Lu Mansion, I was completely out of my mind, let alone judgement, I didn't do anything stupid and burned my incense.

The old man saw that I was still tired, so he went to pour a glass of water. I was stunned for a long time before I recovered, got up from the ground, took the water glass, and took a big gulp.

I finally regained my senses, and I bowed and said, "Master, you are too serious. Thanks to you for helping the little girl so that she doesn't get involved with those soldiers. I am really grateful."

I saw that he looked calm, so I'm afraid he wasn't with those soldiers.He breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think about what he just said.His master... I think we should ask.

"Today I blame the little girl for being greedy. I really missed the big bowl of tea served by the master's stall, so I came out to try my luck and see if I could catch the end. Unexpectedly, I almost caused so many troubles. Also ... Please be well, sir, but I don't know if I know that person... Ordinarily..." I drew a long tone and glanced at his face from the corner of my eye.

The old man looked calm, and after listening to me beating around the bush, he slowly held his beard and smiled and said, "It's not a problem, I'm ashamed of the girl's love. It's a pity that the old man has set up a tea stall on this street for 30 years, and he should have come earlier to serve my master." I'm afraid it's not that the girl is familiar with that person. But..." He changed the topic, "Since ancient times, there have been many marriages in the deep courtyard of the mansion, and going around is not a family."

Hearing what he said, my guess was pretty close to what I guessed, so I felt a little more at ease in my heart.

I fell to my knees with a plop, "Sir, you are very aware of the details. I have been friends with Luoxueyuan and you have seen them too... Please tell me how Miss Lu Jiachexue is doing now. Looking at this situation, I feel uneasy. If you can, my little girl Please be able to meet her... I beg you to be fulfilled!"

The old man quickly grabbed my arm, "Girl, please...get up and talk properly."

"Sir, if you don't agree to me, I won't get up...Sir, I really want to see her...When Miss Lu went to Qianliu, I was also with her. Both Chongzi and Lianxiang can testify for me! The little girl has absolutely no other thoughts, but just wants to know if she is safe and well... But don't be like when she was sick before, when everyone around her..." I even choked up when I was talking, remembering that at that time, no one around her No, holding on alone, my heart felt as if it had been sliced ​​into pieces by a knife, which was a hundred times more painful than my own suffering in prison.

"Girl, get up quickly, and speak slowly." He exerted strength with his arm, and when he heard me say that he was sick, the light in his cloudy eyes suddenly went out, and he sighed heavily, pulling my knee off the ground with just a slight tug. . "The young master is not in the mansion right now, even if you come here, you won't be able to see her..."

"What? What about Chexue?..." I interrupted him hastily, but I didn't even notice that the master had suddenly changed his name.

"The young master went to the inner academy early in the morning and hasn't returned yet, but the master has given orders, so it should be fine. In this way, why not leave an address for the young master to have a letter when the young master returns?"

Waiting, waiting again, can it be that I can't help her at all, and can only wait at the mercy of fate?

You give me a word, and take back another word.

What do I have left...?

Chexue, Lu Chexue.

The author has something to say:

Lying at home for half a month, I am indeed immature.

So naive and so young, I even thought I was strong enough to be able to afford myself and...

I will say goodbye to her eventually, my Zhuoran, my Yueran.

my darling……
