[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

When I got up early in the morning, Xin Zi helped me get dressed and reported the situation of Xie Pei, "The girl still couldn't eat, she hid in the house and cried all day long. As for the body, the doctor said, the skin injury has healed, But the girl was already seriously ill, and now she is hurt again, and her heart is holding back, which makes her seriously ill this time."

I sigh.After what happened that day, Xie Pei suffered such a big injury, she must be sick, but I didn't expect the doctor to find more old injuries on her body, and the foundation was so weak.Obviously, more than a year ago, the Xie Pei I met in Chazhou was still a healthy and intelligent woman, this...

"I'll go see her." After changing clothes, I walked to her courtyard alone.I knocked on the door, "Xie Pei, it's me. May I come in?"

"Third Niang, please come in."

I pushed open the door, and saw Xie Pei, who was only wearing his coat, half lying on the bedside, his face was as white as a sheet of paper.I went and sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand.This... how should a woman, especially a woman who grew up in such an era, endure this.I wanted to comfort her, but when I arrived, I couldn't say a word.

"Sanniang," she smiled poignantly, "you don't have to worry about me, I'm a prostitute in the first place, and there's no such thing as bad or bad for me."

"Don't talk nonsense." I said softly.In fact, based on this matter alone, there is no way to sue He Youzhi for Jijiu in the Guozijian. It was only because Huang Yi was involved in other matters that he was put in jail.Others felt that forcing a woman from a brothel was not a big deal at all.

"Originally, it was dirty."

"Pei'er, if you are dirty, then the client will be even dirtier. In this world, no one is not dirty. Since you have already done this business in this life, then let's take it easy. Everyone knows your character, and you are not dirty. ?” I tightened her hand, “That’s Bailian.”

Xie Pei laughed a few times, then coughed a few times, "Sanniang is explaining me, why don't you tell yourself? We have known each other for several years, and I know a thing or two about Sanniang's thoughts. Those who don't know you It is said that Zhang Sanniang is ruthless, but no one who knows you does not say that you are gentle and kind. These two statements point to you alone. Sanniang, in fact, you are the one who is suffering in your heart? Since you have done those things , why don't you take it easy?"

"Pei'er, all my accounts are clear. Just because I saved Zhang San doesn't mean that I'm not guilty of killing Li Si. It's all worth the money, and I just wait for the day to repay. But It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how dirty it is, because I can survive and I know what I should do, but you are different." I raised my hand to wipe away her tears, "You have a pure heart, if you don't know how to look away, you will live No more, why do you bother yourself so much?"

"If you listen to me, you won't say that again."

──Xie Pei said that she was pregnant a long time ago. After running a tea house, she became a good concubine and became a concubine for the child's father.The main wife didn't like it, the husband still protected her, but when she gave birth to a girl, the husband who was looking forward to a son also treated her indifferently.A famous prostitute was sold out of the mansion by the court before she was confinement, and then came to Guiyang.

"Sanniang," Xie Pei laughed and cried again, "I knew I was a vixen, but I thought it was true love, even being a concubine was worth it. I don't hate that wife, I don't, I robbed her I don’t hate my husband. What I hate is myself. I hate myself for not knowing self-respect and self-love. I deserve this fate. I’m a bitch! , I still want to refuse to accept customers I don’t like. True love, hahahaha, true love..."

woman.

"Everything counts, Pei'er, you deserve what you deserve. Then He Yuzhi insulted you, it was his fault, don't take all the blame on yourself. As for the past, you have to live, and you should atone for your sins." Redeem, what should be forgotten," I shook my head, "then forget it all."

I'm just sitting here, with her, letting her cry.

One day after more than a month, I went out to finish my errands, and let Xin Zi go to play as usual. I walked slowly on the bustling street to get some air, but I ran into Huang Yi again on the streets of Guiyang.

"I've met Aoi-sama." I smiled at him, bowed down and saluted lightly.

"President Zhang, you are welcome." After a pause, Huang Yi continued: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Just used it." Lying.

"Then go for a walk to eliminate food." Before I could reply, Huang Yi strode away first.

I followed quickly, "...I didn't eat much, so I don't need to digest." In fact, I was very hungry, and my stomach would growl if I walked again.

"Then go to eat?" He looked sideways at me.

...was discovered.I laughed, "Well, meeting by chance is worse than meeting each other, as Master Yikui said." When I thought he was going to take me to a restaurant, he led me to a roadside stall.I looked at the names of the meals, but they were all desserts.

He lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, "You look like a bitter melon, so let's eat something sweet to neutralize it."

I followed him and sat next to him, "...I drank a bowl of ginger soup this morning..." It was made by the little bastard Xin Zi, and the taste can be imagined.

"Children, Jiang Tang is also afraid." He reprimanded lightly.

"Just drink it." Cut.

"sick?"

I shook my head, "It's just a little uncomfortable, it's okay."

"fool."

aha? "Others say that only fools don't get sick."

"The only people who would believe such a thing are idiots."

I choked, stared dryly, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.His mouth.

"Did you teach Cui Changfeng?" He was washing the dishes.

"He is Master Lin Mu's student, and I just took care of him for several years." I covered my forehead with a wry smile, "It's also my fault, Changfeng's temper hasn't improved in recent years, and it's still not at all. If you follow Master Shepherd's temperament, you may have to suffer."

Huang Yi snorted coldly, "How would he know to change if he didn't suffer?"

"...that," I took a few glances at his face, and coughed dryly, "Cough! Changfeng showed your face?" This kid is 1 people who hate Huang Yi.

"No," Huang Yi pulled the corner of his mouth coldly, "as shrewd as a monkey, he just smirked at me. He overestimated himself and thought that if he entered the official department, he would be the favored one. You'd better let him Don't follow that idiot Hong Lishen."

I said without confidence: "... Li Shen is a genius."

"Born to be stupid."

I tilted my head and laughed, "The words are too much."

"It's appropriate." He handed me the bowl and chopsticks, "Let Cui Changfeng go to the household department."

I took out my handkerchief and wiped it dry, "Hubu? In fact, Lord Fengzhu and Lord Li Shen are the same to a certain extent..." When Chaozhong talked about the two officials and the heads of the two departments, they all heard the color Change.

"Idiot, think about it with your head." He wiped his hands and tapped his fingers on the table, "He can't stand it if you let him come to Yushitai all at once, and I don't want this kind of temper like a bull and brains." An idiot with flaws and eyes on his forehead. He can't even compare his connections to others, so he can't use them at all."

I twitched the corner of my mouth.Changfeng is only 19 years old, and he was born as a commoner. To be able to achieve what he is now is a young age, okay?

Huang Yi continued with a ghostly expression: "The household department is concerned with the national economy and the people's livelihood. Compared with the official department, which directs officials, it has a less sense of superiority. Let him go to the household department to practice for a few years before being sent to the local area."

I thought about it and nodded.The household department under Huang Fengzhu's subordinates is also quite able to train people, and at the same time it is the six high-ranking departments. Changfeng will adapt better when transferred from the official department to the household department.I listened to Huang Yi ordering something from the store, and then asked, "How is Mr. Wang Ji?"

He nodded, "Yes. He has received all the souvenirs you sent over the years, and he gave me the opportunity to thank you."

I smiled and waved my hands, "It's okay, just drop by, my family doesn't lack these."

"Ah, that's what I said," he said deadpan.

"..." I was talking politely, you don't have to be so direct...

I covered my forehead and laughed.

After being buried in various ways, I shrugged and sighed.You're welcome, you're welcome, why don't you want to descend on Kui Huangyi?Huang Yi turned his face away, but I saw the corner of his mouth slightly hooked.I was stunned, more and more dumbfounded.When the desserts came, he asked me to try each one. I think this stall is really good, delicious!

I saw that the store was run by two elderly people, but there was also a young son. After thinking about it, I waved to them and asked them if they would like to rent a decent storefront to do business, and I will pay for it. They are very kind Thank you so much.Huang Yi looked at me, and I smiled and said, "If it's just two old people, they probably don't want to, but for the sake of the children's future, they will probably agree. Will the stalls on the street be exposed to wind and rain, or should they be moved into a shop?" good."

"Aren't you afraid of losing money?" He crossed his arms, "Street food is hard to be elegant, and when it comes to the store, what should the customer source be?"

"You also know a little about business? It is true that the storefront will increase the cost and the level of customers. New customers may not like this kind of street food, but doesn't Huang Yi think the food here is delicious?" I said with a smile, "Changing the packaging method, these snacks will definitely kill the nobles. Besides, I am not afraid of losing money, which means that there is no risk. Isn't this making money without capital?"

I always feel that the corners of Huang Yi's mouth twitch, "In the end, you still count on these bowls of pennies for me to make a living."

I laughed out loud, "Isn't that good? A person's daily life is supported by these few cents a bowl of food. For some women, a box of a few cents of rouge is their life. In this way, I control everyone's life."

He snorted, "The villain will succeed."

I kept laughing, "Yes, I am a villain, please forgive me."

After a long while, Huang Yi suddenly said: "I respect my status, and I always underestimate my own value. On the contrary, I don't get respect."

I froze, and it took me a while to react.He was probably talking about how I was publicly judged by an official when I met him in a restaurant half a year ago.I put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Does it mean that I will get the so-called respect if I raise my self-esteem?"

He scolded, "Don't you know what it means to be neither arrogant nor humble?"

I rubbed my nose, "I know. But, deliberately changing my words and deeds for the sake of other people's superficial respect, isn't that called being neither humble nor humble?" Then I became humble, "I just don't want to be with you. He argued on the spot. I will still pretend when I should, when I entered the palace last time, I felt that I was dressed well, on weekdays, it’s better to be casual.”

Huang Yi raised his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows, and I burst out laughing.

"Forget it." He called the store to pay the bill, "you can mess around!"

I also flipped through the purse, "...cut."

"Shut up, what a shame."

"..." Everything.

After paying the money, Huang Yi still walked ahead.I pursed my lips, then opened a smile, and raised my voice to stop him: "Master Aoi," he turned around, looking at me quietly with gray-blue eyes, "Sanniang has something to do, so I'm leaving now. "

He paused, "Well, I'll take you back."

"My maid Xinzi is waiting for me."

He snorted softly, "Did you let her play?"

Inexplicably, I turned my head guiltily.

"I'll wait with you," he scolded, "I don't bring many people with me when I come out, are you thinking about it?"

"……"Help.

We sat casually by a well at the end of the street, bought a watermelon, split it in half, and ate it bite by bite with a spoon.Cool.

"The Guozijian Jijiu He You case will be tried tomorrow, so you don't have to worry." Huang Yi dexterously scraped out a small ball with a spoon.

Unable to learn how to do this, I gave up on myself and scraped away, "I never worried about this. If you don't let him lose his official position, I have my own way."

"It's over in the future, don't mess with him again. Don't you think your reputation is not bad enough?"

I twitched the corner of my mouth.Obviously he was the one who really made the move, why was it me who lost my reputation?He Youzhi is quite well-known in the scholarly circle, and when I confronted him in Huajie that day, I had anticipated the consequences.After thinking for a while, I sighed, and said, "Forget it, it's fine if you lose your official position." Can the damage he did to Xie Pei be made up for?His forcing and hurting Xie Pei was hateful enough, and when Xie Pei was already at a low point, this dragged her into a state of self-loathing, no matter how I persuaded her, it was useless.

"Are you still worried about that girl?"

"Xie Pei's temperament is rather reckless, but that's how it is. She probably just spoke the truth that day, but because of this, she offended the other party and suffered such a catastrophe."

"Too rigid and easy to break."

I smiled wryly and shook my head, "It's wrong to be upright. If you can only protect yourself by pretending to be deaf and dumb, Huang Yi, why bother to teach us what is right and wrong? This book is learned Opinions just don’t work.”

"It's your fault for wanting to learn things without suffering at all." He held an empty watermelon rind with a cold face, "You can use what you learn in books, it's not so cheap. It’s too late to think about this, if you have time to think about it, just work like a mule.”

"Mule, mule?" I rubbed my forehead, "No, the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce is really powerless, Mr. Kui, stop persecuting women." The situation in the court is getting worse. Get involved.

Huang Yi stood up and washed his hands by the well, "Afraid?"

I said angrily, "Yes, I'm terribly scared." One and two of you are some big shots, and even if you're a small shot, I don't understand why you talk about treason so lightly.You're so calm. Hey.

"Don't get involved if you're afraid."

I took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, "You can't have both."

"You're so stupid that it's none of my business." Huang Yi turned around, and Xin Zi, who was not far away, was walking towards this side with a big bag of things.

I also stood up, "Huang Yi..." I was about to say something, but he interrupted me.

"That's it," he turned around again, with a familiar expression of indifference on his face, "From now on, I won't show mercy."

This bastard is ahead of me again.

I looked at him for a long time, and then I opened a smile, "Do you think I need it?" I put my left hand on the sleeve of the right, chuckled, and looked up at him, "Don't forget, you didn't get down once. Chess beat me." I wanted to say, Huang Yi, you don't have to help me with everything, we owe nothing to anyone.You never owed me anything.

"Hmph," he also sneered, "I really dare to say it."

"I, Zhang Zelan, can say it and do it. Please, Mrs. Kui, be careful in the future." Even if it happens occasionally, please cherish yourself and take care of yourself.

Be it the salt case or the assassin case, I don't think it was done by Huang Yi, it's not his style.The honest peak season can do this kind of thing because he is a king, and his goal is a king; but Huang Yi can't do it. Under the villain's appearance, Huang Yi has a temper that goes down to the bone, and he can't rub his eyes. Going down the sand is just involuntary in the officialdom.Money, power, fame, in fact, none of them can really impress him.The two of them are different, but his position on the peak season's side is certain.I partly agree with Fei Xiang's words, and I don't even support rebellion. Now the political situation has become more and more obvious between the two factions. Therefore, in the future, we will really part ways, and it is more likely that we will stand on the opposite side.

He turned around again and strode away.I kept watching his back until he was gradually submerged by the crowd, and even a little bit of his clothes disappeared on the horizon.
