Leaning on the rail and smiling at Liu Niang

Jun Ping wiped away Liu Niang's tears, dumbfounded, and said softly, "But someone bullied you?"

Liu Niang shook her head in embarrassment, bit her lips and said vaguely and coquettishly: "Liu Niang gave the lady a sword tassel, look!" She said and handed the sword tassel in her hand to Mr. Ping to see , eyes full of anticipation, "Does it look good?"

Her hands are small, with slender and plump fingers, and in the palm of her hand lies a simple tassel of sword, with tassels flowing down the slightly exposed white wrist, as beautiful as a painting.When Ping Jun saw it, he felt a little distracted. He quickly turned his head away, covered his mouth and pretended to cough a few times, and said perfunctorily, "It looks good."

What he said made people feel a little disappointed, Liu Niang's tense shoulders drooped in frustration, and she said in a low voice with some pity: "It seems that some are not worthy of breaking the army."

There was a trace of blush on Ping Jun's fair face, she turned her head to look at the maidservants in the room, seeing that they all lowered their heads obediently, she winked playfully at Liu Niang, and said softly: "It looks so good! "

Seeing Liu Niang tilting her head and looking at him suspiciously, Ping Jun reached out and took the sword tassel from her hand, and his fingers inadvertently touched Liu Niang's palm.

There seemed to be a strange feeling spreading where the fingers touched, and the two of them suddenly became uncomfortable. Jun Ping blinked his eyes in confusion, and his beautiful eyes flicked across Liu Niang's eyes as if they had substance. cheek.

The air seemed to have become a little sticky, and the room was very quiet. The maidservants lowered their heads and dared not speak, or even wink at each other.

Liu Niang felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Jun Ping looked at her with piercing eyes, she thought for a while, then slightly twisted her body and said coquettishly: "Does the lady want to tie it up?"

Jun Ping seemed to be awake now, she touched her nose in a concealed manner, raised her eyebrows and said, "Ah, fasten it now." She turned her head and told Li Zi, "Bring Po Jun here for me."

Li Zi turned around and went, took the Pojun sword and handed it to Ping Jun, looked at the sword ear, a little bit hesitant to speak, Ping Jun gave her a wink, Li Zi didn't say anything, blessed Fu stood aside .

Liu Niang didn't see Ping Jun's eyebrow-eye lawsuit, she just lowered her head and watched Ping Jun deftly put the sword tassel on Po Jun, and she brought Po Jun to Liu Niang, beckoning her to take a look and praise it Said: "Liu Niang's hands are really skillful."

Liu Niang was a little complacent, but she was about to appear extremely humble, the expression on her face changed a few times, and finally she still showed a complacent look.

Looking at it, Jun Ping's hands were itchy, wishing he could go up and pinch her face.

The atmosphere in the room was cheerful, the old nanny hurried in from outside the room, and walked in without anyone notifying her.

Seeing the old nanny coming in so recklessly, Ping Jun froze for a moment, immediately frowned, and said solemnly: "Mommy, what's the matter?"

Seeing Liu Niang here, the old mama was obviously also very surprised, swallowed the words that were about to blurt out, and took a look at Liu Niang.

Jun Ping understood, turned his head and said softly to Liu Niang: "Go back first."

Liu Niang saw that the old mama came in a hurry, and she obviously had something important to discuss, so she already had the intention of resigning, and after hearing what Mr. Ping said, as if she had been pardoned, she quickly saluted and left.

The old mama saw Liu Niang leave with sideways eyes, and her expression became more and more agitated. She stepped forward and grabbed Ping Jun's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Mute! The mute is back! He said he was looking for those who were beaten by thousands of knives." That's it!"

Ping Jun was also excited when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Where is Uncle Dumb? But he went back to the General's Mansion? Xiao Tao quickly prepare a carriage for me!"

The old mama was not young, and after hearing the servant's message, she walked all the way to the main courtyard, and now she was a little out of breath, and gasped twice: "In the mansion! Saburo told you to go back! Go quickly!"

Xiaotao trotted out to prepare the carriage, and the rest of the maidservants went around tidying up Jun Ping, and hurried back to the General's Mansion.

In front of the General’s Mansion, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was setting up a pergola and looking at the corner of the street, eagerly waiting for his married woman to come back. He turned and turned anxiously. He felt hot all over in the winter, so he couldn’t stop taking a handkerchief. wipe sweat.

Suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes at the corner of the street, the boy hurriedly tidied up his appearance for a while, and looked up, and sure enough there was a sign of Zhao on the carriage of the person who came, and it was his wife who had returned.

He hurried up to meet him and wanted to pick it up, but before the carriage stopped, a beautiful woman jumped down from above, and the woman quickly stepped forward and said to him: "Where is your master?"

The little servant nodded and bowed to Jun Ping and pointed out: "This way, this way! The dumb uncle is waiting! The gentleman wants me to come and take the lady directly!"

Ping Jun nodded at him, and followed him to the back, and the maidservants behind packed up their things and hurriedly followed, the gatekeeper of the General's Mansion came forward and parked the carriage into the stable.

When Ping Jun arrived at the small courtyard where Wang Dingzhi lived, he didn't wait for the maid to come forward to open the curtain, but he opened it by himself, and strode in.

The light in the room was slightly dark, Jun Ping squinted his eyes, and saw a thin old man sitting above him, with a weathered face. The old man saw her tears of excitement, and he got up and wanted to kneel to her Down.

Ping Jun only felt something choked in his throat, and his eyes were blurred. She stepped forward to hold the old man, choked up and said, "Uncle Dumb, you have suffered!"

Sadly, the old man lowered his head and wiped away his tears. Because there was no sound, he could only make a ho-ho panting sound. He gestured quickly, shaking his head and stomping his feet.

Wang Dingzhi was originally watching from the sidelines, but at this moment he hurried up to appease the two of them, and said to them, "Don't be in a hurry, dumb uncle, and sister, don't..."

He winked at Jun Ping and motioned her to wipe away her tears, so as not to make the old man get excited again.

Ping Jun turned away, Xing Ren'er hurried forward and handed her a handkerchief, she wiped her tears, took a deep breath, felt calmer, then turned her head to the dumb uncle and said, "You caught up with him!" whereabouts?"

The dumb uncle at the side calmed down a lot under Wang Dingzhi's comfort. He gestured neatly and told his siblings his whereabouts over the years.

The old man always likes to go back to the source when talking about things, and the dumb uncle gestured to start from the beginning. When Ping Jun’s father had just won the Tartars, he was stabbed in the back by his own soldiers and killed him. Once he died, the army of the dynasty It was a bit chaotic. Brother Pingjun was some distance away from his father at that time, and his uncle and cousin chased after the Tartar ass and walked far away. He tried his best to maintain the normal operation of the army by himself. The villain who assassinated General Wang He took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the army all the way.

Uncle Mute only had time to ask his eldest son to speak to Brother Pingjun first, and then told him to report to the General's Mansion, and followed the traces of the villain with his younger son all the way from the border to the southwest.

This trip lasted more than a year, the villain was very cunning, he was afraid that someone would follow him, he used a lot of tricks on the way, and kept turning back and turning around, but the dumb uncle couldn't do it, he had a hard time following all the way, and was almost caught several times The man was thrown off, so he had to play beggars with his son and follow the villain closely.

When he arrived in Sichuan, the man felt sure that no one would be able to come here, so he relaxed. Only then did Uncle Dumb find out that the entire family of this man went to a small town in Sichuan quietly, bought a big yard, and spent a lot of money on it. Money is also lavish.

The head of the family went back, and the family claimed that they came back as a businessman. The family lived incognito in the small town, but lived the life of a small rich family.

Uncle Dumb was puzzled, he used his skills to look inside the yamen, but this family has a decent household registration, and they moved here just a few years ago.

Uncle Dumb knew that there must be a big conspiracy here. Originally, he wanted to take the man back alive, but he and his son thought it was impossible.

So he made up his mind to see if this person had taken root here, and when it was confirmed, the dumb uncle left his youngest son in that small town, working alone to earn travel expenses, pretending to be a beggar for a cold meal, and leaving. After almost half a year, he returned to Chang'an.

After the dumb uncle gestured over the past two years, he was already in tears and heartbroken, he gestured and "yelled".

That man is the general's confidant!The general came quickly and treated him well, but he did such a rebellious thing!The general died for no apparent reason!I am not reconciled! !

The dumb uncle was crying and beating his chest with his fists. The clothes on his body were brought to him by Wang Dingzhi, and they looked extraordinarily wide. His palms were thin, his face was black and chapped, and his hair Also like a beggar, he was originally a strong man practicing martial arts, but now he looks like an old man in his sixties.

Ping Jun pulled Wang Dingzhi to kneel on the ground and kowtowed him three times.

She took the dumb uncle's withered hand and said tremblingly, "He can't escape, and neither can the people behind him."

Ping Jun lowered her head, her shoulders trembled, tears fell on the dumb uncle's hand, and she roared: "He can't escape!!!"

Uncle Dumb was exhausted all the way, and his body was very weak. He couldn't support him after he couldn't say a few more words. Wang Dingzhi hurriedly called his servants to take him back to his room, and urged the kitchen to quickly prepare easy-to-digest meals. After being settled, he and Jun Ping looked at each other, and both had a lot of things to say in their hearts.

Wang Dingzhi signaled his servants to entertain Ajie's maids, and the two avoided the study together without a confidant.

This study was still furnished by General Wang during his lifetime. After hearing what Uncle Mute said, the siblings looked around at the familiar objects in the study, feeling quite emotional.

Ping Jun stepped forward to touch the ancient books on the bookshelf, they were all cleaned up, and saw that there was an extra shelf next to it, which was full of his younger brother's utensils. He smiled lightly and said, "I love reading and practicing martial arts. If you want to be a general, you must be a woman, you don't like reading, and you can't wield a sword, you were born in a Wang family, and you are a man, your father is very worried about us."

Wang Dingzhi sat down tiredly, rubbed his temples and said, "We are both troublemakers, we go to the tree house all day long, and the house is full of troubles." When you look up, you can’t compare to a big brother.”

The eldest brother of the Wang family is a first-class boy with amazing talents. He can hold a sword since he can walk. He has been with his father since he was 14 years old. The young man can also order and prohibit, and hold the front line.

Ping Jun smiled wryly and said: "It's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents. If the idiot general who came later was not greedy for merit, he would not have lost his life in that place."

The two were at a loss for words for a moment, and the pain of mentioning the elder brother seemed to drown them for a moment, and they dared not mention their father. After all, the Wang family had filled too much in the battle three years ago. Human life goes in.

Jun Ping thought for a while, and asked his younger brother: "Uncle Dumb has suffered so much, and his health is not very good. I am afraid he will have to rest for a long time before he can go on the road again. You have ordered all these people in the family? But the strict mouth It's not easy to tie that person and his family back."

Wang Dingzhi said: "It's all agreed. They are all old people. Those who are not strict and greedy for power have left. These old people have followed their father through the sea of ​​swords and swords. The skills in their hands are not inferior to that person. They can't be more reliable. .”

Ping Jun nodded and said: "That's good." She thought for a while, then subconsciously lowered her voice, "This man must have been instigated by Zhao Shiqing's old man, but it's a pity that his old man died easily."

She said with a gloomy face: "Poor father, he beat the Tartars desperately at the front, and finally won once, but the villain later demanded and wanted to cede the land, and he withheld food and threatened the officials to call him back. They are a group of good officials, The country is going to be ruined and the family is ruined, and I still think about the power and money."

Hearing the words, Wang Dingzhi looked up at Ping Jun, and said sadly: "Sister, we thought too simply at the beginning, thinking that we would let our family go if we became in-laws with them." He was a little emotionally unstable. The dumb uncle didn't shed tears after he finished speaking, but now he was a little choked up, "They didn't let our family go, they took the lives of my father, uncle, two elder brothers, and my sister's life. "

He seemed to be very sorry for Mr. Ping, buried his face in his hands and said: "Only me, the only one in the whole family is a useless person."

Ping Jun said with a stern face: "But you are talking nonsense?! Now without you, what am I going to do? What is the Wang family going to do? Don't be like this."

She gritted her teeth and paced back and forth in the room, wanting to rub her hair a little irritablely, but when she stretched out her hand, she touched the bun, so she put her hand down in a daze, and laughed at herself: "You are still a man, and you say it is useless." People, so what should I do if I can only sell myself?!"

Wang Dingzhi was startled, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say that!"

Ping Jun reprimanded: "Then put away your messy thoughts!"

She turned her head away from looking at him, tried to calm down her anger, finally calmed down, and said coldly: "I pretended to be virtuous in Zhao's house, and endured idiots like Zhao Shiqing to wait, brother, to wait, to endure , can't bear it for long."

Wang Dingzhi nodded, rubbed his face, tried his best to cheer up and said: "I visited Mr. Qian yesterday and asked about Qifu. The king serves as a servant."

Ping Jun was a little surprised when he heard the words, and said: "This is a good thing. You worked in the Imperial Academy, and then those Jinshi became teachers and students with you. This position is the easiest to accumulate contacts. Qian Ge always intends to draw you into it. If the cabinet takes over from him, you will be able to make a living."

Seeing that Wang Dingzhi still had a wry smile on her face, she changed her mind and asked, "But what's wrong with King Yu?"

Wang Dingzhi remained silent, Ping Jun also had a headache when he thought of his cousin's pitiful situation, so he could only comfort his younger brother and said: "Qian Lao wants you to serve as an attendant to King Yu, presumably he is planning to urge the government to appoint a prince, you If you have a very good relationship with the prince in the Qian residence, and you are his cousin, if he ascends the throne in the future, you will definitely have a place in the cabinet, and Elder Qian Ge will be able to retire smoothly. He is also planning for himself, you greatly Fang Fang just accepted the love."

Wang Dingzhi shook his head and sighed, "I just hope so."

When Zhao Shiqing heard at the mansion that his wife had returned to her mother's house, she was very annoyed. She dropped many bottles and jars in the study, causing the servants to back away for fear of getting burned.

Hearing that there was no movement in the room, his personal servant knocked on the door tremblingly, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, I have an appointment to visit Wangge's old mansion this afternoon. Don't forget it!"

But there was no movement in the study room, the servant kept complaining, not daring to forget his errand, he knocked on the door lightly, and asked, "Mr. Lord, it's getting late."

A bottle inside smashed against the door with a loud noise, which scared the young man to the ground. Zhao Shiqing roared from inside, "Ask someone to come and clean it up for me, and get the car ready for Grandpa!"

The boy responded with a few voices, retreated out, and turned out of the courtyard. He patted his clothes, and said arrogantly: "Tell those girls to clean up for the gentleman, and you guys will follow my brother and I to prepare the car!"

Zhao Shiqing tidied up, prepared some good gifts, got into the carriage and headed towards Wang Yong's mansion, the chief assistant of the cabinet of this dynasty.

He used to play with the gentlemen of Wang Yong's mansion before, and now the concierge of the mansion was quite familiar with him when he saw him, so he politely sent a servant to invite him outside Wang Shoufu's study and told him to wait.

Zhao Shiqing's father, Zhao Furen, was also the chief assistant. Wang Yong was just a follower behind Zhao Furen in the cabinet. He was the most cautious and conservative. Zhao Shiqing never thought highly of Wang Yong. But sometimes he was waiting at the door of Wang Yong's study, waiting for him to have time to meet with him.

He had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't tell what it was like, so he could only spit in his heart that this old ghost was lucky.

After waiting for a cup of tea, a few young people around his age came out of the study. Zhao Shiqing recognized these as his classmates of the same age. But he didn't expect those people to greet Zhao Shiqing first.

The leader was Zhao Shiqing's No. [-] in that class, and he was selected as the editor of the Imperial Academy. It has been many years now, and they must have come to exchange feelings with Wang Yong, looking forward to the appointment of a good one.

Those same years were serious about being polite to Zhao Shiqing, but Zhao Shiqing was full of anger, thinking that they were deliberately mocking him.The two sides communicated for a while and then became awkward. The leader also felt that this person was too arrogant, and he was quite upset, so he said goodbye to Zhao Shiqing, and a group of people left.

That's when Zhao Shiqing was asked to go inside. He gritted his teeth, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and entered with a respectful face.

In fact, Wang Yong is only in his early sixties, and he is considered capable at this age to be the chief assistant, but the outsiders attribute this matter to Zhao Furen's support for him, and he himself knows it well Ming, so seeing Zhao Shiqing come in, thinking of his father's affection and his own reputation, he was still quite polite, which made Zhao Shiqing a lot more comfortable.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhao Shiqing saw that the timing was almost here, so he politely asked: "Uncle Shi, my nephew will get up soon, look at this..."

Wang Yong stroked his beard with a smile, and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, my nephew is quite famous in poetry, do you know that the officials are now obsessed with writing poems for the Jade Emperor in the sky?"

Zhao Shiqing's eyes lit up, and he said, "What does Uncle Shi mean?"

Wang Yong leaned over to him, and said in a low voice: "You write a few more poems, and uncle will pass them on for you."

Wang Yong has always been conservative, and his poetry is a mess, but Zhao Shiqing is famous for being good at poetry and has extraordinary literary talents. He has several good lines that are popular in Chang'an. Some people call him Mr. Hairpin.

Zhao Shiqing was overjoyed, but his face was still calm, and he asked again: "Which position is Uncle Shi looking for?"

Wang Yong smiled and said, "Siye, the Imperial Supervisor, do you think he is worthy of you?"

The author has something to say: both of them are villains!
