she won't live to twenty

After returning to Beijing with Tang Chiyu, Si Lian began to think seriously, how can he get close to King Qin?How can I get close to the family of Zhen Guo General Li Quanran?

Si Lian thought about it for a long time, and finally she remembered what Master told her: When a woman is overwhelmed by the country, there will naturally be countless men flocking to her skirts, and there are many princes and nobles among them.

So Si Lian tried every means to enter the world-famous singing and dancing club in Changjing City, which is also the most famous brothel and drunken flower room.

She succeeded in becoming the oiran in the building.

Si Lian's plan was sound - even if he couldn't be liked by a certain prince, he would redeem himself and enter the prince's mansion.It is impossible to say that when performing dances on New Year's Day, he also has the opportunity to enter the palace, perform a sword dance, and assassinate King Qin on the spot.

Unexpectedly, the plan was interrupted just after the first step.

Tang Chiyu didn't know what was going on, and suddenly came to the Drunken Flower Room to listen to the music, and happened to meet Si Lian who was being pestered by Mr. Si'an Bo.

Tang Chiyu was furious, and beat Si'an Bo's family to death.

Si Lian watched from the side, she thought she should be gloating, but she felt inexplicably guilty.She knew that the reason why Tang Chiyu was so angry at that time was not because of the son of the Si'anbo family, but because of her.

Tang Chiyu trusted her and brought her back to the capital, but she turned around and entered the brothel.

Can Tang Chiyu not be angry?

It was the first time that Si Lian felt so guilty and scared, and even wanted to confess everything to Tang Chiyu at that time.But she still remembered her mission and Tang Chiyu's identity after all.

Si Lian struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally decided to simply use Tang Chiyu's identity to approach the King of Qin.So she deliberately danced such a dance, deliberately made up one lie after another in front of Tang Chiyu, and tricked Tang Chiyu into redeeming her back to the house.

As for when did you fall in love with Tang Chiyu?

Si Lian didn't know.

It may be that one morning, when Tang Chiyu disliked her for being weak, but couldn't hide the concern in his eyes, when Tang Chiyu carefully helped her put on the cloak.

It might be a certain afternoon, when Tang Chiyu accidentally saw that she didn't eat much, so he picked up some meat and vegetables for her.

It may be that one night, when Tang Chiyu turned on the lamp to read at night, when she wanted to add fragrance to her red sleeves with malicious intentions, the girl's eyes were clear and she asked her to go back to her room to rest without any desire.

Tang Chiyu was like a ray of bright light, unconsciously, it penetrated into the dark bottom of her heart, filling it little by little.

By the time Si Lian realized it, she was already deeply involved.

"Your Highness..." Si Lian looked at Tang Chiyu's profile, sighed, and said softly, "I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't know when we will meet next time."

Tang Chiyu was sleeping soundly on the table, frowning slightly and muttering.

Si Lian looked softly for a while, then suddenly buried her head and bit her lower lip. After a few moments of hesitation, she turned around and lit a plate of incense in the corner of the room.

The fragrance spread in the room.

After a while, Si Lian's cheeks were stained with an abnormal blush.Tang Chiyu, who was in a coma, opened his eyes hazily.

"Si... Lian...?" Tang Chiyu's voice was hoarse and his eyes were confused.

"Your Highness, I'm here." Si Lian carefully picked her up and walked to the bed.

Tang Chiyu subconsciously wanted to push her away, but was instinctively attracted by something, and took the initiative to hug her neck.

"Si Lian..." Tang Chiyu blushed slightly, his eyes were dimmed, "You are so soft...so comfortable..."

"Well, Your Highness." Si Lian exhaled lightly, and carried Tang Chiyu onto the bed.

With a tap of her finger, the flickering candle went out.

……

It was three poles high in the sun, and Tang Chiyu finally opened his eyes lazily.

Her life has always been regular, even if she goes to bed late, she must get up before sunrise to practice martial arts.But today I don't know what's going on, and I've been asleep until now.

Tang Chiyu blinked in confusion.

The room was very warm, except for the faint fragrance that was about to dissipate, there was also a hint of warmth.

When Tang Chiyu smelled that scent, he suddenly recalled a few episodes from last night, and his cheeks turned red suddenly.

She sat up abruptly and looked towards the bed.

The clothes were piled up at the foot of the bed, full of wrinkles.There was no trace of Si Lian on the bed, and even the other side of the bed was cold.

Tang Chiyu lifted the quilt in astonishment.

There was a tinge of red on the sheet.

On the table on the other side, there was an unopened letter.

……

Wuming and Nanyue arrived at the princess mansion very early, and when they entered the door, they happened to meet Si Lian who was leaving with a package on his back.

"Miss Si, have a good trip." Wuming squinted and smiled at Si Lian.

"Thank you Princess for your kind words." Si Lian smiled back.

Nanyue looked at Wuming, then at Si Lian, and probably guessed that Si Lian was leaving the Princess Mansion.

"Sister Si Lian, be careful on the road, everything will go well." Nanyue said in a sweet voice, extremely serious.

"Okay." Si Lian tilted his head and smiled with his lips pursed, beckoning to Nanyue, "Little sister Nanyue, come here and let my sister rub her head, okay?"

Nanyue hid behind Wuming, shaking her head: "Not good."

Only for Wuming to rub.

Si Lian chuckled and waved goodbye.

Looking at Si Lian's back, Nanyue always felt that she seemed a little different from before, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.

"Sister Wuming, where is Sister Si Lian going?" Nanyue asked in confusion.

"She wants to go back to her home to have a look." Wuming said gently.

"Is she back yet?"

"Will be back."

"That's good..." Nanyue lowered her head slightly, "If Sister Si Lian doesn't come back, His Highness Seventh should be sad."

"What do you know?" Wuming led her to the martial arts arena, and patted her on the head.

Nanyue puffed her cheeks, and said seriously: "I understand. Sister Si Lian has a very good relationship with His Highness Qi, just like I have with Sister Wuming. If one day you leave me, sister, I will definitely be very sad, so Sister Si Lian and His Highness the Seventh Prince are also the same."

Parting is bitter, how bitter is it?

Nameless couldn't be more clear.

Wuming licked his dry lips, and suddenly hugged Nanyue tightly in his arms.

"Won't leave."

……

Tang Chiyu was not in the martial arts arena this morning, and there was no wind or dust in the open space.

Wuming frowned, vaguely guessing something, but didn't say it in front of Nanyue.

She and Nanyue came to the plum blossom pile as usual, one practiced internal skills and the other practiced the sword beside him.

Another ten days passed, and Nanyue was able to stand on the third pillar, and the formulas and postures used in meditation were also different from the previous ones.

The morning sun is just rising, and before you know it, it will be three poles in the sun.

Tang Chiyu finally rubbed his eyes and walked to the martial arts arena in a daze.

Wuming dropped the knife and went up to meet him: "What's wrong?"

Tang Chiyu blinked sullenly, and pulled her to sit down on the ground, the two of them were facing Nanyue who was in meditation.

"Wu Ming, Si Lian is gone. She said she found information about her family and wanted to go home." Tang Chiyu said distressedly.

"Yeah." Wuming nodded, "I met her this morning."

"She said she would definitely come back to look for me within a year." Tang Chiyu's voice was still very low, "One year... maybe by then, I'll go back to Weibei and be locked up."

"Didn't you say earlier that you would let her move out of the mansion after you help her find a new home? Why can't you bear it now?" Wuming clasped her head in both hands and said frivolously, "Falling in love with her?"

"No." Tang Chiyu bowed his head, and drew circles with his fingers on the ground, "I probably... don't like her. She... is too weak, not my type."

"Then what's there to be reluctant about? Isn't it normal for friends to split up and reunite?" Wuming poked Tang Chiyu's head, "Even the two of us haven't seen each other for two years, why are you not reluctant?"

Tang Chiyu gritted her teeth, her voice was extremely vague: "I was with her last night..."

"What?" Wuming didn't hear clearly.

Tang Chiyu's face turned red, and he simply covered his cheek with one hand, and almost poked a hole in the ground with the other: "I slept with her."

Although Wuming vaguely guessed something when she met Si Lian in the morning, she still narrowed her eyes in displeasure at this moment: "What's going on?"

The second master put a Gu on Si Lian, able to prevent her from attacking Tang Chiyu, but couldn't prevent her from insisting on agreeing with her body.

It's like Wuming and the master protect Tang Chiyu everywhere, so that her innocent heart will not be dusted, but they can protect it for a while, but they can't protect it for a lifetime.Tang Chiyu will come out of the ivory tower sooner or later.

"I don't know what's going on..." Tang Chiyu grabbed a handful of sand irritably, spread his fingers, and watched the gravel fall off, "I was reading last night, but I seemed to fall asleep after reading it. Si Lian didn't know when Come to my room, and then we'll..."

All the gravel from the fingertips fell to the ground, not a single grain remained.

"Then when I woke up this morning, I found that Si Lian was gone. She left me a letter, saying that she was going to look for her family and would come back within a year. She also wrote in the letter that she liked me." Tang Chiyu said .

"So what are you thinking now?" Wuming asked softly.

"I don't know." Tang Chiyu shook his head irritably, "But I think I should be responsible for her."

"But you don't like her. What happened last night is not necessarily your fault. You can pretend that nothing happened." Wuming said.

Tang Chiyu shook his head stubbornly: "No way. If you do it, you do it. I can't shirk my responsibility."

Memories of last night flooded my mind.

Tang Chiyu buried his head, and the roots of his ears suddenly turned red.

Last night she...if she had been more determined, she could have stopped many times in the middle, and could have pushed Si Lian out of her arms.But she was so obsessed with ghosts that she didn't do anything in the end, allowing the situation to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Since she did something wrong, she must take responsibility.

Tang Chiyu raised his eyes and said seriously: "When she comes back, I will try to like her. Then, if she is willing, I will take her back to Weibei. If I am already in Weibei by then, nameless, please help me Ask her..."

"Okay, don't worry."

Wuming looked at the firm light in Tang Chiyu's eyes, and did not persuade her, but patted her on the back gently.

……

After receiving the information provided by Wuming, the gambling house not only reported the matter to the Prime Minister Wei's family.At the same time, in order to prevent the Minister of Defense from not buying it, he ordered people to spread the news.This kind of gossip spread quickly among the low-level people in the capital. After a while, many servants and servants heard that "the guard who had a relationship with the second lady of the Nan family was actually the orphan of the prime minister's younger brother".

For a while, there was an uproar about this matter in Changjing, and even the Nan family got the news.

Nan Boyuan was upset and didn't know how to deal with this matter.After hearing the news, he rubbed the center of his eyebrows even more irritably, and ordered his servants to release Wei Jiu from the woodshed so that he could freshen up.

If the news is true, I am afraid that Minister Wei will come back to visit within two days.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the second day, Minister Wei came to Nan's house with a gift, and Nan Boyuan personally welcomed him into the hall.

Two old foxes in the officialdom sat opposite each other, each stroked their beards and exchanged pleasantries, but neither of them mentioned the embarrassing incident.

In the end, Minister Wei squinted his eyes first: "Master Nan, can you let me meet that child?"

Wei Xiang didn't mention who the child was referring to, but Nan Boyuan obviously knew it well.

"It should be." Nan Boyuan waved his hand and ordered someone to bring Wei Jiu, "That child... Coincidentally, Master Wei also knows that there are not many guards and maidservants in our house. A few days ago, Miss I had enough recuperation in the countryside, and when I came back to the capital, I was afraid that there would not be enough staff in the courtyard, so I recruited a new batch of people. Unexpectedly, I just recruited that child."

"Haha, it's very good, very good." Wei Xiang said with a smile.

Soon, Wei Jiu walked in in an orderly manner.He was locked in the firewood room for two days, completely unaware of what happened outside.Wei Jiu only knew that when the servant helped him take a bath just now, his tone was respectful and envious.He also guessed a little bit, maybe Mr. Nan is connected, and really wants to let Nan Xiaoyi marry him?

However, after entering the room, Wei Jiu saw another old man in fine clothes in the room, he couldn't help but blinked in astonishment, then quickly put away his expression and saluted respectfully.

Wei Xiang frowned.

This child has a pair of phoenix eyes and a tear mole at the corner of his eye, which is indeed quite similar to his younger brother.But it's just too evil and seems too tactful, he doesn't like it.But when you think about it, how good is a person who has been outside for more than 20 years and even did such a shameful thing to the second girl of the Nan family?

Minister Wei suppressed his displeasure, and said kindly as much as possible: "I heard that you have a ruby ​​birthmark on your back?"

Wei Jiu has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, what hasn't he experienced?Hearing Wei Xiang's question, he sensed something keenly, his eyes lit up, and he took off his clothes decisively to reveal his waist: "My lord, please take a look."

Wei Xiang was even more disgusted by his tact.

Even Nan Boyuan pretended not to see anything and moved his eyes away in embarrassment.

After confirming the location of the birthmark, Wei Xiang asked again, "Son, have you been alone all these years?"

Wei Jiu nodded: "My lord, I have been an orphan since I was a child... When I was younger, I was raised by monks in the temple."

"Then your name?"

"According to the master in the temple, I have a piece of cloth in my swaddle, with the word Weijiu embroidered on it."

Minister Wei was almost certain that this child was indeed the orphan of his younger brother Wei Tiannan.He suppressed his disgust, squeezed out a few tears with his superb acting skills that he has been in the officialdom for many years, and rushed forward to hug Wei Jiu.

"Nephew... Uncle finally found you!"

Although Wei Jiu didn't know who the person in front of him was, he still cried out cooperatively: "Uncle..."

The two staged a scene of uncle loving nephew filial piety.

After calming down, Xiang Wei wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and asked earnestly, "Son, uncle asks you, are you willing to marry the second young lady of the Nan family?"

If Wei Jiu likes Nan Xiaoyi or not, of course he did like it before Huahai happened.But after the sea of ​​flowers passed, he wished he could get as far away from that black-hearted woman as possible!If it wasn't for saving his life, how could he beg Nan Boyuan to let him marry her?Wei Jiu thought, now that he suddenly has support, why not take this opportunity to get rid of the Nan family?

Wei Jiu just wanted to shake his head, but unexpectedly, Wei Xiang took the first step, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since you like Nan Er Miss, Uncle will definitely have a good chat with your Uncle Nan."

Wei Jiu: "No, I..."

"You go out to rest first, uncle, talk to your Uncle Nan." Wei Xiang waved his hand, and immediately a guard stepped forward and took Wei Jiu out.Only then did Wei Xiang look at Nan Boyuan with a smile, "Lord Yi Nan, the marriage between our two families..."

Nan Boyuan smiled happily: "Of course it couldn't be better."

Wei Jiu was just a guard before, and if Nan Xiaoyi were to marry him, that girl would probably cry for a while, and maybe she would be desperate and unwilling.But now, since Wei Jiu is the orphan of Wei Xiang's younger brother, and Nan Xiaoyi said that she is the daughter of the Nan family's prostitute, but she is actually just an adopted little girl, so she is married.The most important thing is that the Nanwei family is now the party of the six princes, and the marriage of the two families will bring huge benefits.

Wei Xiang and Nan Boyuan made the marriage contract with smiles, and after a few words, they decided to go to Qin Tian Supervisor together to calculate the auspicious day and get the two children married as soon as possible.

into the night.

Wuming sent Nanyue back home as usual, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Nan Boyuan standing outside the hall with his beard stroked.

Wuming took a glance and found that Liu Shi and Nan Yu were also sitting in the hall, apparently there was some important matter at home waiting for Nan Yue to discuss together.Wuming combined Weijiu and Nan Xiaoyi's affairs, immediately guessed something, and gently pushed Nanyue's shoulder: "Go."

Now that Nan Xiaoyi has found her home, Nan Boyuan will naturally focus on Nan Yue next.

After getting along for nearly two months, Nan Yue has grown too much compared to the beginning.Wuming believed that she could solve the current situation by herself.

Nameless added in a low voice: "If there is anything you can't handle, tell me tomorrow morning, and I will help you solve it."

The dimples on Nanyue's cheeks were shallow, her eyes were clear, and she nodded seriously.

Wuming said goodbye to her with a light smile, and said hello to Nan Boyuan before leaving Nanfu.But out of the gate, Wuming rode the horse a little farther, and immediately turned back with ease.She lay on the roof of the Nan family's main hall, peeled off a piece of glazed tile, and peeped inside with familiarity.

The candlelight in the hall was weak, Liu Shi and Nan Yue sat on one side, Nan Boyuan and Nan Yu sat opposite, the atmosphere of the four was serious.

Wuming rolled her eyes silently, fortunately Nanyue followed her in the princess mansion every day, otherwise she would always be bored in such an impersonal home and would not be suffocated to death.

"Father?" Nanyue sat up straight, very well-behaved.

Nan Boyuan coughed lightly, and Liu Shi took the initiative to explain: "Xiaoyue, you don't know yet, do you? Your sister's engagement has been made, and she will marry the son of the Prime Minister Wei's family on the New Year's Day."

"Ah... Congratulations, sister Xiaoyi?" Nanyue blinked in confusion.

Liu continued to laugh and said, "So Xiaoyue, since your sister is settled, what about you? On Qiushou, have you taken a fancy to any young master?"

Nan Boyuan stroked his beard: "If you have someone you like, Dad will help you as a staff officer. If not, Dad will help you find out what kind of sons and gentlemen there are in the capital."

Even though he knew that the Nan family would say this, Wuming on the roof still frowned displeasedly, resisting the urge to step on the roof directly and scold them.

Only then did Nanyue realize what Wuming said just now.She straightened her body up a bit more, the tip of her tongue pressed against her palate nervously, and after a few breaths, she said softly: "Father, for the time being... I don't have anyone I like, and I don't have any thoughts of marrying anyone for the time being."

The little girl's face was clear and beautiful, and although her voice was soft when she spoke, there was no trace of fear.

On the roof, Wuming smiled with satisfaction.

That's right, who do you marry at a young age?It is the right way to follow her to learn martial arts.

Nan Boyuan frowned and said in a stern voice, "Why don't you want to?"

"It's not that my daughter doesn't want to marry, but because..." Nanyue thought about it seriously, "Father, my daughter feels that I have only been back to Beijing for two months and I haven't fully integrated into the environment of the capital. My daughter lives in Jiangnan. After a long time, some little habits can't be changed for a while..."

In other words, Nanyue was used to a small place in the countryside, but now that she entered the capital, she couldn't adapt, so she was inevitably a bit petty.If you just marry like this, I'm afraid it will embarrass the Nan family.

Sure enough, when Nan Boyuan heard this sentence, he frowned even tighter, but his eyes agreed.

Nanyue continued: "There are very few girls in the south of the Yangtze River who can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although my daughter has been in Beijing for two months, she has been studying with His Highness Changning and His Highness the Seventh. compared to most women."

Although Nan Yu is an out-and-out straight male cancer, but in recent years, the trend of talented women has prevailed in the capital.If any girl doesn't have any talent, she is ashamed to go out to meet guests.

In short, the central idea of ​​this passage is still that if she gets married, it will embarrass the Nan family.

Although the marriage between their families mainly depends on whether the two families are well-matched, whether the juniors are talented and see each other is secondary.But Nan Boyuan only had two daughters, one daughter had already caused such a shameful incident, and the other naturally couldn't embarrass the Nan family anymore.

Nan Boyuan frowned again and nodded.

On the roof, Wuming almost laughed out loud.

Follow her and Xiaoqi to learn talent?Kui Nanyue could tell.I didn't expect the little girl to speak nonsense in a serious manner, but she was unexpectedly cute.

"Furthermore..." Nanyue thought, "Although Xiaoyi's sister's wedding date has been set now, my elder brother is now in his twenties, and he is not married yet. How can I, as a younger sister, be ahead of my elder brother?" What? It doesn't make sense."

Nan Yue looked at Nan Wu softly, her expression was pure and harmless, her eyes were full of earnest concern for her brother.

"Nan Yue is right." Nan Boyuan's gaze drifted faintly to Nan Yu.

Nanyue is only one year old, and it will be seventeen after the New Year's Day.But it has been almost three years since Nan Yu got the crown. Nan Boyuan was worried about Nan Yu's marriage a few days ago. He didn't expect that he was rejected by the eldest prince in Qiushou, and Nan Xiaoyi had another incident like that. Be careful to forget.

With Nanyue's reminder, Nan Boyuan immediately felt that time was pressing.

"Nanyue, go back to your room and rest first." Nan Boyuan waved his hand at Nanyue, and aimed at Nanyue, "Nanyue, you..."

Nanyue saluted and left the hall obediently.

On the roof, Wuming lightly covered it with rubble. After jumping out of Nanfu, he finally couldn't help laughing in the cold street: "Little Nanyue, Xiao Nanyue, you are such a clever little ghost..."
