[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

The weather is getting colder day by day, and it is winter in a blink of an eye. The street seems to be suddenly covered with a layer of gray, and the pedestrians are also blurred and hurried.

On this day, the fourth elder brother came back late from the outside, and when he dismounted in front of the mansion, the sky had already drifted down with extremely quiet snow.The fourth elder brother walked all the way back to the study room, and when he lifted the curtain, a gust of warm air rushed towards him.Immediately covering his whole body, Si elder brother was so hot that he was sweating.

The fourth elder brother took off his black cloak, handed it to Su Peisheng, and said: "What else is there to eat?" Su Peisheng responded: "Yes! There are pork ribs and shredded chicken noodles, and it is hot!" The fourth elder brother took off Boots, put on sandals, said: "Come up.".

In a blink of an eye, thin noodles wrapped in thick white thick soup were brought to the table. The serving eunuch held silver chopsticks in his hand, took out some and tasted them in a small bowl before sending them in.The fourth elder brother doesn't like chopped green onions, and he doesn't even like the messy mung bean sprouts and shredded radish in the noodle soup.Therefore, there is not a little green in the whole bowl of noodle soup, and there is even less sesame oil, I am afraid that the fourth elder brother will find it greasy.

Su Peisheng personally brought the noodle bowls to the table. The fourth elder brother was really hungry, so he grabbed the chopsticks and started eating. It was a winter morning in the North, and after a day outside in cold weather, he would eat boiling hot noodle soup in a hot room. , It was really a joy, the fourth elder brother ate two big bowls before stopping, seeing the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, thinking that he could rest in the mansion for a day tomorrow, he was slightly relieved.

After reading a few more volumes of copywriting, Su Peisheng thought it was almost a reminder to the master that it was time to rest, but seeing the fourth elder brother put down the scrolls, got up and said, "Go, go and have a look at your master Wu." With a quick wave of his hand, the little eunuch over there came over with a hood and a cloak, a lantern and an umbrella, and Su Peisheng helped the fourth elder brother put on the cloak. The wind whistled back and forth in the courtyard, hitting people's faces directly, and when they looked up, they saw the sky was hazy, and the snowflakes were so fascinated that people couldn't open their eyes.

In Wu's courtyard.

Qingming carefully cut open a thick oily leather envelope in his hand with a knife. Wu Ning looked anxiously at the side and urged: "Hurry up!" He complained again: "A letter came from the house, why didn't you tell me this afternoon?" ? ", Qingming explained: "Master, you happened to be sleeping soundly at that moment, how can the slave disturb you?" ", said that he took out the letter paper from Nazhi Prefecture's mansion, and offered it to Wu Ning with both hands.

Wu Ning hastily unfolded it, Qingming saw that her face was covered with letter paper, and she was struggling to read, so she quickly took the candle lamp from the table on the other side and placed it in front of Wu Ning, it was indeed much brighter.

In addition to the usual words in the family letter, Zhuqi was mentioned at the end, saying that after Zhuqi was sent back, the Martial House waived her ransom money, and she would be picked up by her old lady in her hometown next month. Qi found a rich family in the county to marry as a concubine, Wu Ning saw this, holding the letter paper tightly with his right hand, dumbfounded.

Seeing the expression on her face, Qingming didn't know what happened, she was a little uneasy for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master?" Wu Ning came back to his senses, and immediately said: "Paper and pen." On the spot, he repeated loudly: "Paper and pen!" Qingming suddenly woke up, and immediately turned around and walked quickly to prepare paper and ink.

Wu Ning hurriedly wrote a few sentences, handed them to Qingming, and said in a repeated voice: "Go!", after thinking about it, he stopped her and said: "Wait!", thinking about writing another letter to Zhuqi. But thinking that Zhuqi is not very literate, I just tore a piece of paper in a panic, wrote in a crooked manner: "Don't leave Beijing, wait for my news", and took several banknotes Randomly folded it and stuffed it into an envelope, sealed it separately, wrote the four characters "Pearl and Chess Pro" and drew a chessboard on the envelope with a few black and white chess pieces painted on it. To Ching Ming.

She calculated in her heart that there are still a few days before next month, Zhuqi will not be picked up immediately, she calmed down a little, and said: "Is the person who sent the letter still in the porter?" Qingming nodded and said: "Master is not Reply, he must not dare to leave." He hesitated and said: "Master, this bank note is in the letter, I'm afraid..." Wu Ning closed his eyes slightly and waved to Qingming to go quickly.

Qingming stepped out of the door and saw white snowflakes falling in the dark sky, so she went back to the waiter and took a paper umbrella. On the opposite side, Qingming was very bluffing, and saluted: "Slave pays tribute to Lord Baylor! Good luck to Lord Baylor!" Seeing Qingming flustered, the fourth elder brother thought something happened to Wu Ning, frowned, and immediately strode forward, into the house.

Wu Ning heard the voice of saying hello to Lord Baylor outside, raised the curtain to welcome her out, the fourth elder brother saw her anxious expression, and still held a pen in his hand, so he went up to shake her hand, sat down at the table, and said: " What happened? Take your time."

Wu Ning hastily said the matter again, and then grabbed the fourth elder brother's hand and said eagerly: "My lord has promised me! I want to find a good family for Zhuqi, how can things turn out like this now?".

The fourth elder brother saw that her voice had changed, so he held her hand instead, patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, and said in thought: "I have indeed been careful, I am afraid... I am afraid that you, Ama, will make a mistake. .”

Wu Ning was startled, let go of the fourth elder brother's hand, and murmured: "Not bad... not bad...".Thinking about Zhuqi, I'm afraid there are other reasons. After all, a first-class maidservant of Shu Fujin in Baylor's mansion was sent back to the original mansion. From the perspective of Wu Zhizhou and his wife, how can the priorities of the matter be the same as Wu Ning's?

Thinking of Zhuqi's temperament, her heart ached.The fourth elder brother saw that her lips were turning white, she had never shown such an expression in so many years, and felt a little sad, grabbed Wu Ning's hand, and said: "Don't worry, I will deal with this matter. You can put one hundred hearts in my hands and prepare well for the delivery."Wu Ning nodded slowly and said: "I believe in you."

The fourth elder brother leaned over, kissed her temples lightly, felt her body trembling slightly, felt pity in his heart, picked up his spirits and joked: "Except for the time when Master Xing was ill during the tour outside the Great Wall, I have never seen you like this. Why? Master is here with you In my heart, is it not as good as Pearl Chess?".

Wu Ning was so confused, he turned his head and said, "What kind of joke is this sir?".

The fourth elder brother suppressed his smile, got up and said: "I came to see you at night, since there is nothing to do here, I went back to the study." Wu Ning followed him to stand up, sent the fourth elder brother to the door, and said "Pay attention to your body, don't always stay up all night. If you stay up late, no matter how much you sleep during the day, you won't be able to make up for the damage to your body." Su Peisheng bowed his waist and sighed in his heart: Our master, we still have to sleep during the day. Can I feel better?

The fourth elder brother stared at Wu Ning, nodded and said: "Okay, I will remember." Then he gently pushed her into the room, saying: "It's cold outside, don't follow me out." Wu Ning thought to himself About playing bead chess, he answered absent-mindedly, the fourth elder brother turned around and stretched out his hand, Su Peisheng quickly put a cloak on him, and a group of people hugged him out.

The snow had already stopped, and the fourth elder brother looked up at the sky, and said to Su Peisheng: "I'm afraid there will be snow tomorrow." Su Peisheng laughed and said: "This year's snow comes early."

The fourth elder brother walked a few steps, and said calmly: "Your master Wu cares a lot about the people around you." Only then did he boldly say: "Master Wu has a kind heart, and he has great friendship with his servants. Besides...that Zhuqi came out of her mother's house with Master Wu.".

The fourth elder brother looked authentic as usual: "That's right, that Zhuqi did come out of her mother's house with her, and I'm afraid he has been with your master Wu all the time when he was in the boudoir.".Seeing that his face was as calm as water, Su Peisheng felt guilty, and stopped talking now.

On the grass and leaves on the ground, some thin snow and residual branches were sparsely accumulated, and the boots rustled when they stepped on them. The little eunuch who guided the way held two lanterns and walked unsteadily at night, reflecting the patterns on the corners of the four princes' brocade clothes.I was walking well, but I heard a faint sound of flute, like weeping and complaining, endless, with the sound of snow and wind floating in, it suddenly seemed like heavenly music, very elegant and unusual.

The fourth elder brother paused, frowning.

Su Peisheng immediately waved people to pass.

After a while, several young eunuchs came around a woman in a flag dress, and behind her was a little maid carrying a lantern. Looking closer, it turned out to be Geng Shi!

Su Peisheng rolled his eyes to the sky in the dark: it's thanks to her that she figured it out!Playing the flute at night, isn't it afraid of disturbing the quietness of the backyard?Aren't you afraid of Fujin's punishment?This meeting with Lord Baylor by chance, I am afraid that a lot of joint money has been arranged behind him.

This Geng Gege is really willing to go all out, this is the cruel heart of success or success!

Geng Shi came over with a frightened face and weak Liu Fufeng. When he saw the fourth elder brother, he immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Seeing the beautiful snow scene today, I brought my maid for a stroll in the garden. Unrequited love, blowing the flute disturbed Lord Baylor's peace, please forgive me!" After speaking, there was already a bit of crying in his voice.The little maid behind her was really about to cry.

Su Peisheng rolled his eyes for a second time: Snow scene... In such a cold day, you are wearing such thin clothes, your fingertips are black and purple from the cold, you said you are enjoying the snow scene?

The fourth elder brother glanced at Geng Shi.

Gunn dressed up specially.

A head of black hair was combed loosely behind his head, and only one hairpin was inserted obliquely. The hairstyle looked a bit like Wu Ning's, and the clothes on his body were also the colors that Wu Ning liked to wear on weekdays. A graceful figure without a figure, she didn't wear a cloak.

A faint fragrance drifted over in the snow wind, and the fourth elder brother smelled it, but he thought of the fragrance on Wu Ning's body—maybe this sachet was specially made by asking Ning'er for it?The fourth elder brother thought.
