Drunk old voice

Passersby

The sky is going to be bright, the shadow of the moon is thin, and the Shengping Pavilion, which plays and sings every night, gradually returns to calm before dawn.

Today, Ren Geng followed Mu Feng, had a drink with Eunuch Huang from the Siyuan Bureau, and secretly handed over the birthday gift he had prepared.After returning to the Shengping Pavilion, he was ordered to send news back to the palace with Hanyan.He dragged his slightly tired body back to the residence, opened the door and entered the room, just about to fall down on the bed, when he saw a person standing there in the dark, motionless.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Ding Yi.

Ren Geng's heart was still pounding, and he asked impatiently, "Ding Yi, what are you doing?"

"Follow me." Ding Yi also simply gave three words.The surrounding rooms were full of guards, Ding Yi was worried, so he led Ren Geng to the lake.

It was still raining lightly in the middle of the night, and there was no one around.

Running out against the rain, Ren Geng was quite upset, "What are you doing?"

"Speak." Ding Yi still cherishes words like gold.

Ren Geng has known him for a long time, so of course he can't argue with Ding Yi, "There is no one else, let's talk."

"You followed to the Su residence." Ding Yi got to the point.

"Yes." Ren Geng admitted.

Ding Yi didn't open his mouth first, but pointed his sword straight at Ren Geng's throat, seeing Ren Geng backing away in a hurry, he said: "Don't talk too much."

"I'm also Sister Mu's bodyguard." Ren Geng dodged his sword, of course he wouldn't say it, and who would he tell it to? As for that.

"I know, I want you to just listen to her." Ding Yi's sword was still pointing at Ren Geng.

To work together, Ren Geng didn't think of the conflict, so he had to explain, "This is the duty of the guard, and I will not violate it."

Ding Yi stared into Ren Geng's eyes and emphasized, "Only her words, any words."

"Ding Yi, don't you think you've passed?" Ren Geng also got a little angry, what do you mean by saying anything, if you tell him to die, is he going too.

"It's none of your business." Ding Yi didn't care what Ren Geng thought, as long as he wanted the result.

Since the two are irrelevant, Ren Geng asked, "Then why do you care about me?"

Ding Yi didn't answer, but still said his own words, "If you violate it, I will kill you."

"Humph."

"If you have second thoughts, I will kill you too."

"It's not over, is it?"

"If you hesitate, I will kill you."

Ren Geng couldn't suppress his anger any longer, he untied the sword from his waist, "You said so fiercely, can you kill it?"

Ding Yi glanced at Ren Geng's sword and said, "Try."

"Do you still think it was before you were injured?" Ren Geng was not afraid at all, he knew that Ding Yi had been injured before, and his martial arts were not advanced but retreated, so he never responded to Ding Yi's provocation, just showing off verbally.

Ren Geng drew out his sword, made the first move, and went up to meet him.You come and go, swords and swords, only thirty moves, but Ren Geng was defeated, and Ding Yi knocked out the weapon in his hand.

Ren Geng looked at Ding Yi up and down in shock, "You're back?"

"Keep your mouth shut." Ding Yi didn't answer.

"Where did you get the money to buy the medicine?" It's impossible to take good care of the medicine for several years without flowing water. Ren Geng thought about it, Ding Yi has only followed Mu Feng all this time, and it can only be Mu Feng's.Ren Geng showed a look of sudden realization, "So that's the case, no wonder." No wonder he was so loyal.

Ding Yi emphasized again, "Do you remember what I said?"

"Don't dare not to remember." Ren Geng was inferior to others, so he could only bow his head, "I understand, kill me."

Ding Yi then withdrew his sword, looked at the lotus in full bloom in the lake, and stretched out his hand to pick a budding bone.

Ren Geng picked up the sword, walked to him, and wanted to have a good chat with Ding Yi, "Ding Yi, you don't have to do this, I have no reason to betray Sister Mu."

"It doesn't matter, I will watch." Ding Yi took the flowers and left without giving Ren Geng a chance to continue talking.

Ren Geng looked at Ding Yi's back thoughtfully, repaying his favor?infatuation?Shaking his head, he followed fate resignedly and went back together.

The next day, Mu Feng and Jin Nian were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room, and there were many things on the table and on the ground.Ding Yi stepped in, and casually put the lotus flower in the vase.Then avoided the odds and ends, found a corner and watched the two people talking silently.

Mu Feng raised his head by chance, saw Ding Yi, followed his eyes, and saw the lotus flower that had already bloomed, felt sweet in his heart, and smiled slightly, with so much tenderness in his mouth.

Jin Nian watched the whole set of eyebrow and eye lawsuits, curled his lips, pulled a piece of silver and red brocade, and said, "How about this, it's rare and expensive."

Mu Feng took it and looked at it, "It's not bad, it's not a whole horse, isn't it suitable?"

Jin Nian said in a surprised tone, "How much does a whole horse cost? Most people never see it in their lifetime."

Mu Feng shook his head and said, "I mean, give ordinary silk, the whole piece."

For the congratulatory gift of A Cong's marriage, Mu Feng has been tossing all morning, and Jin Nian said casually, "I think you are free, and A Cong's marriage is not your son's marriage."

Mu Feng's eyes widened, and his voice became high-pitched, "Jinnian, it's just your mouth. Go, go, or I want to tear it apart."

Jin Nian quickly gave in, and said, "I'll apologize to you, Mu Feng is still in his prime and youthful."

"Well, please forgive me." After joking a few words, Mu Feng said back to business, "It's better to give two bolts of ordinary silk, although this brocade is good, ordinary people would never be willing to wear it."

"Ordinary silk is not necessarily willing to part with it." Jinnian has also learned some mundane things over the years.

"It's not good, it's too common."

Jin Nian was already getting impatient, and said, "You are the only one who asks for more. Hurry up and choose well, so that the rest can be put away."

Mu Feng counted, "A box of twenty silver locks, a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, two gold-plated hairpins, and two bolts of red silk, these are enough."

Jinnian did some calculations in his mind, and felt that it was very rich, "There are two or thirty taels of silver. Sister Mu is so generous."

"I don't treat you badly, do you like this piece of brocade? How about giving it to you?" Mu Feng sent the piece of silver-red brocade to Jinnian.

Jin Nian was not polite, and took it aside, "Then I will be disrespectful."

Then, the two sorted out the gifts and put them together, and put the others back into the cages. Ding Yi also came to help, but he couldn't find a way, and the more he helped, the more busy he became.

After Ding Yi messed up a few more strands of silk thread, Jin Nian said helplessly, "Ding Yi, you better say goodbye."

Mu Feng also had no choice but to dismiss him, "A Yi, go and call A Cong, let him come over later."

Ding Yi walked away awkwardly.

With no troublemakers, Mu Feng and Jin Nian quickly cleaned up.Mu Feng still needs to see A Cong soon, so Jin Nian guesses the time to go back.

A Cong came after a while, thinking that Mu Feng had an order, he said, "Sister Mu, your name is little one."

"A Cong, come and sit down." Mu Feng asked A Cong to sit down before starting the conversation, "I heard that you are going to get married, when?"

A Cong didn't think much, and quickly replied, "On the eighth day of the next month, I have to ask Sister Mu to give me a vacation."

Mu Feng nodded, estimated the date, and said, "Of course, then from the sixth day to the twelfth day, prepare well at home."

A Cong waved his hands anxiously, "It won't take that long. With my mother at home, it will take three days." The salary will be deducted for taking leave for personal reasons, and he doesn't want to rest more.

Mu Feng also knew the reason, and promised, "There is no shortage of manpower in the museum, and the wages will be paid." Marriage is once in a lifetime, and he is not afraid of others to follow suit, not to mention that A Cong is Mu Feng's right-hand man.

"Thank you, Sister Mu, I will work hard in the future." A Cong was really happy now, and Sister Mu did not tell lies.

Mu Feng knew a little about the situation of A Cong's family, and asked: "I did a good job in the beginning. I need money everywhere to get married, so I have enough money?"

A Cong quickly said, "Sister Mu, I've been saving for a few years, and that's enough." After following Mu Feng for a few years, his salary doubled, and there were extra rewards from time to time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get married.

"If you need it, talk. Although I'm not rich, I'm a few more than you, as long as you don't feel dirty."

"Sister Mu, don't say that. The little one is here to serve people and earn money from the world. If you hadn't been promoted, the little family would still be eating chaff." A Cong was very upset. For those who admire Mu Feng, money is money, and there is no difference between good and bad, otherwise he would not have come to work in Shengping Pavilion.

"You've been working with me for the past few years and you've done your best. It's not convenient for me to go, so I prepared some gifts." Mu Feng then pointed out the things to A Cong.

"I'm not being polite to you, I'm so thankful, Sister Mu." A Cong glanced at the two boxes and two bolts of red silk, thinking about what was in the box, two bolts of silk alone were enough.When Mu Feng's subordinates encounter weddings and funerals, there is always a gift, and A Cong accepts it.

"It's inconvenient for people to come and go in the museum. You can take your things home, and you don't have to come back today." Mu Feng instructed.

"Young one is resigning." A Cong returned home with a heavy present.

When Ah Cong returned home, he put down the silk, opened the box and saw that there were neat silver locks, golden bracelets and hairpins, and immediately wanted to return them to Mu Feng.But when he thought about the situation at home, he hesitated again.

At this time, A Cong's mother came in, saw all these things, and asked, "A Cong, where did you get it?"

"Sister Mu's congratulatory gift." A Cong replied truthfully.

A Congniang approached, stroked a handful of red silk, which was smooth and delicate, and sighed, "You sister Mu is so generous. Even though you are from there, you are really a good person."

"Mother, I'm ashamed of accepting this gift." Ah Cong didn't expect the gift to be so expensive, he didn't feel that he deserved it, and hurriedly closed the box.

Ah Cong held his hand and persuaded, "Ah Cong, because the place where you work has a bad name, many people look down on you, isn't this for you?"

A Cong closed the box and said, "One yard is one yard. I found this job myself, and I wanted to pay more than other places."

"It's Gao, isn't there a lot of people in our family? It's hard for my son."

A Cong is more sensible than his mother, "This gift was given by Sister Mu, and Sister Mu is only in charge, not the boss, how can she make it up."

It's not that A Congniang doesn't understand, but she is really poor and short-sighted. "If she gives it, you can accept it. From now on, let's work hard for her. Don't be afraid of hardship or tiredness. Isn't it enough? It's not enough to empty out the house. If you collect enough dowry, you will still have to live, and your three younger sisters are growing up day by day, and you have to get a dowry to get married."

Seeing Mother's rough hands, A Cong felt sad, and said, "Mother, I understand the situation at home. Well, from now on, I will work hard for Sister Mu." From now on, as long as Sister Mu orders, A Cong will not stutter. .

Seeing that he agreed, Mrs. A Cong pulled the box and looked carefully, "You are with the right person, and you will be more promising in the future. A Cong, is this gold?"

"The bracelet is gold, and the hairpin is gilt." A Cong had seen some good things in the Shengping Pavilion.

A Congniang picked up a bracelet and compared it to her hand, then hurried back, "Then this bracelet is worth a lot. I will give one to each of your elder sister and second sister as a dowry."

A Cong wanted to explain that the value of the hairpin was similar to that of the bracelet, and that the craftsmanship was the most important thing, but looking at his mother, he felt that there was no need to explain.
