[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

"Baihualou..." I paused.The person who was sent to monitor the governor of the state just now reported that he went to Baihualou with the county magistrate to have fun, and our Spider-Man Kui Huangyi Yushi also disguised himself as a brothel boy and sneaked in.

"Is Boss Chen here today?"

"Yes."

"Send someone to say hello to him, saying that Zhang Jia Zelan wants to borrow his Baihualou."

The steward exclaimed, "Miss! You want to...how can this be done! You go to that kind of place...you can't!"

I smiled, "Let's just stop talking about it, shall we?"

I brought two servants to Baihualou.Because I have greeted Boss Chen of Baihualou, I can easily go in as long as I pretend to be the little girl who delivers tea in the brothel.I asked my servant to divert the person Boss Chen sent to follow me, then I dodged into a corner and handed over the money to a boss waiting here.She leaned over beside me and whispered that they were in a hidden wing in the building.

As soon as I walked outside the door of the wing room, I saw Kui Huangyi coming out holding the dishes.

I almost laughed out loud.

Seeing no one around, he grabbed my sleeve and quickly pulled me to a corner where there was no one around.

"You got someone to follow me." He threw the buddy's rag on the railing, crossing his arms.

I smiled and didn't answer.I know that Kui Huangyi also sent people to monitor Zhang's mansion.

"If your lord wants to inquire about things, you don't have to..." I pointed to his clothes.Seeing him dress up like this but still not restraining himself really makes me laugh so hard.

Does he want to be a spy?It's such an insult to the profession of spies.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, "You really think I can't do it?"

I smiled and said, "Don't dare."

"What do you think a spy is like?" he asked calmly.

Why?I turned my head and thought for a while, "At least it must be low-key enough?"

"Looking at the drama made you stupid." He looked at my attire, "Look at it." After saying that, he stuffed the rag into my hand and strode back to the wing.

I followed behind him with great interest and went in together.

In the wing room, singing and dancing, I pretended to be a maidservant pouring wine and stood aside.After a while, Kui Huangyi with his outstanding manners really attracted his attention. The governor of the state, Hu Dongnian, looked at him several times and asked him something.I took my time to stand aside, watching how Kui Huangyi would respond.He didn't panic at all, instead he said confidently that he was born in a noble family, which shocked Hu Dongnian to ask further questions.Kui Huangyi continued to put on a cold face, and calmly made up a perfect tragic life experience for himself, explaining the reason why he was living as a brothel boy was very natural and miserable.

He didn't even bat an eye.

After talking about it, Hu Dongnian had the idea of ​​saving these talents from the "sea of ​​fire".I was amazed when I saw it - this is another type of master liar.I admire you.

When we were all out of the wing, I covered my mouth and kept laughing, and gave him a thumbs up by the way.

When people say to keep a low profile, he does the opposite, what a Kui Huangyi.

After laughing enough, I took him to the back of the wing.I walked around the wall a few times, reached out and tapped on the wall, then squatted down, and pressed against the foot of the wall.A small door suddenly appeared on the white wall with no gaps, and I walked in with Kui Huangyi.There is a small dark room inside, where you can spy on the movement of the front wing.Kui Huangyi looked at me suspiciously, and I explained in a low voice, "In this kind of room for honored guests, the owner usually leaves a dark room in case of emergency." I looked up at him, and said with a smile: "This is Some small tricks of the people can save even disguise." I am not stupid.

He glanced at me, and while stretching his head forward to look at the situation in the wing room, he mocked softly: "The villain will succeed."

...this mean-mouthed guy.

Previously, Governor Hu Dongnian and the others were just eating banquets and having fun, and didn't get into the topic at all, so Kui Huangyi and I had the leisure to make a little joke.After the banquet and the companions had all retired, they began to talk about business.I listened to what they said, but my eyes looked at Kui Huangyi.Father said that Kui Huangyi's target is not only Xiao Wu, the magistrate, but now it seems that the county government and the state government have colluded, so Kui Huangyi's real target should be the current state shepherd.

I listened intently and found that they also mentioned the high officials of the central government.

...Remember correctly, Kui Huangyi is just a small supervisory censor now?It is extremely difficult for him to bring down the state shepherd, but his goal seems to be far more than that.

After inquiring about the news, I left the brothel, and my two servants were already waiting for me not far away.

Kui Huangyi pointed at them with his chin.

I watched with satisfaction as they flexed their muscles, "bluffing."

Kui Huangyi looked at me without saying a word.

I smiled and said, "Just kidding, please don't mind."

"Don't you want to be wise and protect yourself? Why did you suddenly take the initiative to help me today?"

Not yet forced.I smiled wryly, "Master Kui, do you know why the prefect Xiao suddenly waited for money?" He even wanted to snatch me away by force.

"You want to hear?"

really.

He would say this to show that the financial problems of Xiao's mansion were related to his case and the State Shepherd's Mansion.

"No." I've got the answer I wanted.

He paused, relying on his height and condescendingly said: "Are you afraid?"

I raised my hand to cover my forehead, "I'm just the daughter of a rich man in the country, who threatened and lured me, are you a ghost?" I've had enough of his aggression.

"Scared?" He asked again.

I spread my hands, "I just need the Xiao Mansion to fall, because our personal grievances are too deep. I don't want to care about the rest." I smiled, "The world is as black as a crow. To you, the removal of the high officials is a credit ; For the common people, it doesn’t make much difference whoever is the official.”

He didn't speak.

I continued: "The Zhang family will try their best to help you with the matter of Longqing Yuanli according to the previous agreement." It's just a deeper level, I won't care about it.

It's not just the State Shepherd's Mansion, this matter also involves the capital, the water in it is too deep, I can't get in it foolishly.

"Okay." What he said was concise and to the point.

I turned around to leave, walked a few steps, turned back, and asked, "Lord Kui, is it okay to drag the case to the county magistrate based on just one case?"

Kui Huangyi glanced at me several times before saying: "Of course not." He took a few steps towards me, lowered his head, and whispered in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. "He turned and left.

I stood with my hands down, watching his back.My only feeling is that the senior official in the central government whose foundation was poached bit by bit by Kui Huangyi is really pitiful.

In the following days, I sent people to run errands for Kui Huangyi and work as a temporary worker. I spent the rest of my time on managing the Zhang family's business. I didn't even have time to watch the chess games of the two elders, Lin Mu and Li Wenxian. .Since my father knew that I wanted to join the All-China Federation of Commerce, he began to hand over a large number of businesses to me.His old man is leisurely and leisurely every day, but I, who is dealing with things alone for the first time, am very busy.

If only I had reached retirement age sooner too.Ha ha.

Just as I was busy, Kui Huangyi, whom I hadn't seen for more than half a month, went to the Zhang Mansion in person, and I ordered someone to take him to the Pavilion of Listening to the Rain.

"Excursion City?" Hearing what he said, I stopped the hand that made the tea.

"If you want to join the Black State Branch of the All-China Chamber of Commerce, going to the state is a matter of course."

I put down the teapot and looked at him silently.Does he think I'm a fool?Our agreement is that he will recommend me to the All-Commerce Federation after the case of Zhifu Xiao is over, and now he suddenly wants me to go to Yuanyou City, he must have a plan.

Kui Huangyi took the teapot from my hand and made tea without speaking.

I sat on the stone chair, looked at the scenery outside the pavilion, and didn't speak.

Boom, boom, after the time for a cup of tea, Kui Huangyi handed me a cup of fragrant tea.I took it with both hands, blew it lightly, and took a sip, the fragrance remained on my teeth and cheeks.The tea I used was the one I was used to, but if someone else brewed it, there was a small but important difference in the taste. I suddenly had an indescribable understanding of the tea ceremony.When I ran out of a cup, I put down the cup and said with a smile, "I've been compared to me." The tea I brewed was actually really mediocre.

"Knowing that I have little knowledge, I should go out and see the world." He said blankly.

I thought it was kind of funny, "If you don't explain your intention clearly, I won't go to Yuanyou City. It's useless for you to bury me."

"I'll go too."

I glanced at him.

He continued: "Go with Hu Dongnian."

……What?I looked at him dumbfounded, "Broth boy, did you really let Master Hu, the governor of the state, save the "sea of ​​fire"?"

He actually nodded his head.

I was a little curious, "Let's not mention Hu Dongnian's character, he is a well-known capable official, how can he trust you so easily?" It really made Kui Huangyi his subordinate.Really capable, if I knew it, I wouldn't have wasted the pawns I planted in the magistrate to help him sneak into the magistrate's mansion.

"The life experience I made up is true, and he can't find any flaws."

I refilled a cup of tea for him and myself, and asked casually, "Where is that really miserable brother?"

"Because of a case two years ago, he died in my hands." He picked up the teacup with a steady hand.

Did you say it on purpose to scare me?I glared at him and stopped talking.If he didn't make it clear, I wouldn't nod my head no matter what, I'm not such an easy person to dismiss.

Just as he and Kui Huangyi were arguing with each other, Yan Tian walked in in a bit of a hurry.

"Miss, the Xiao family is here to give the dowry."

"..." I was silent.Which play is this playing again?

"Miss?" Yan Tian looked at me anxiously, "Are you accepting or not, you have to make it clear so that the subordinates can handle things."

"Where is Father?" I stood up.

"Master is out to play."

"Yan Tian, ​​it's not good to use words that are too honest." As I spoke, I raised my hand to call the servant who was standing not far away, "In this case, you should say that the master is visiting a friend, or else that he is looking for someone. It's okay for the detective to win."

"Okay, miss, in terms of hypocrisy, I can't reach you, I listen to you."

I stretched out my hand and patted the girl's head, "I told you to talk nonsense again." I ignored her, turned around and told people to close the gate, so that the bride price from Xiao's mansion could not be brought in.If the letter of appointment is forced out, it will be another trouble to divorce the engagement at that time.Not long after, even I in the garden could hear the sound of gongs and drums outside.With Xiao's team walking all the way like this, I think half of Longqing County knows what happened.By tomorrow, this matter will definitely spread throughout the county. No matter whether I accept the dowry or not, I cannot escape the reputation of being involved with the young master of the Xiao family. I will definitely not find anyone else in the county who dares to marry me.

There was a loud knock on the gate of the Zhang Mansion, and I put aside all my worries for the time being, and settled the matter in front of me first.I waved to Yan Tian, ​​"Yan Tian, ​​are there any firecrackers left over from the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes, there are many."

"You go and get it, light it and throw it out." I'm not good at throwing explosives, and I can always set off a firecracker.

"Miss, I'm afraid."

Of course I know that Yan Tian dare not set off firecrackers.I smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, you let the little girls go. Don't they like to have fun?"

After Yan Tian answered, she turned around and went to give orders.

I sat back on the stone chair again.Anyway, if it's all quarreled, then don't be afraid to make it bigger.

"Miss," not long after, Yan Tian ran back again, "There is new news. This time, the Xiao Mansion is hiring a wife."

Will Xiao Jin, who is very self-confident, marry me as his wife?

"Master Kui," I looked at Kui Huangyi who was fiddling with the chess pieces, "you have to hurry up, otherwise the Xiao Mansion may not be able to copy anything." They seem to really need it. money.

He put down the chess piece with a click, looked at me, "I know."

I raised my hands to cover my ears, blocking the sound of crackling firecrackers outside the door, and turned my head slightly.

Kui Huangyi still had a cold face.

"Zhang Jia Zelan, wait for me!" Xiao Jin's angry roar came from outside the mansion.

How things will turn out, I'll just wait and see.

Amidst the noise, Kui Huangyi and I played another round.At the end of the game, I still won by a slight margin.The noise outside had stopped, and it was quiet again inside the pavilion.

Zhejiang was pattering, and the sky began to drizzle again.

I packed up the chess pieces, while Kui Huangyi stood up, and once again looked at the inscription on the pavilion pillar.

"Did you mention the words outside the pavilion?" He suddenly asked.

"You mean the plaque of "Listening to the Rain Pavilion"?" I put away my things, stood up and walked to his side, "Yes. I also thought that my parents' cursive script was more charming, but my father said that this is my pavilion , I should mention it." I reached out and touched the lettering on the pillar, "Their cursive script is unique, I can't practice it well, but I can practice a little in regular script."

He looked at the words again, "Your words are not like your people."

I froze, is this praise or ridicule?I laughed out loud, "Master Aoi's chess is not like yours." I don't know who he studied under, he has a strict layout and takes a frontal attack, like a gentleman.

Kui Huangyi's behavior is not a gentleman.

He turned his head to look at me and raised his eyebrows, "Your chess is not like yours either."

I also replied: "Master Aoi's handwriting is not like yours."

Suddenly, we looked at each other.

He asked, "Do you play the piano?"

I nodded and asked someone to bring the piano.

"I'm sorry." After everyone else backed down, I gave a blessing to Huang Yi.

He didn't say much, just took out a piccolo from his pocket, which was different in shape from the ordinary flute.

If I remember correctly, this seems to be called... the dragon flute?It is a family craft of the Aoi family.

Kui Huangyi took a light breath and played the flute.The timbre of the flute is simple, the tune is slow and the aftertaste is long.I listened for a while and frowned.I don't know why I find this simple piece in a slow key more difficult to match than the fast piece with difficult technique.I listened for a while before reaching out to play the piano.The first two sentences are extremely jarring.Fortunately, we all gradually caught each other's beat and style, and blended the sound of the piano and flute little by little.

The sound of the rain outside the pavilion gradually stopped, we also stopped our hands, and the music disappeared.

I stood up and blessed Emperor Kui, "Master Kui, go slowly."

He put away the flute, turned around and strode out, splashing water on the ground, but he didn't care.

The sound of Kui Huangyi's flute was peaceful, not like himself.If I have a chance, I have to look at his paintings, and then I will know whether Kui Huangyi's piano, chess, books, and paintings are completely different from his own.

I smiled and walked back into the room.

He is more interesting than imagined.
