Jian An Kee

Note 1: Yang Shen's "Linjiang Immortal" is the opening chapter of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

I kicked him angrily, and he moved away, "Oh, miss, you really don't have a good image, you shouldn't be surprised to see General Sun."

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly, but I clearly felt that he had a crooked smile on his face.I patted the back of the tile next to me: "Don't you just want to strike up a conversation with me, sit down, and this lady will help you."

"Subordinates obey!"

The two sat side by side for a long time, but Gongsun Shao didn't say a word.I was a little surprised, and just about to ask him what happened, he opened his mouth to me at the same time.

"What are you..."

"Miss……"

I laughed dryly: "You speak first."

"No," he resumed his calm tone, lifted his forehead bangs, and said to me in a persuasive tone: "Mr. Zhong and his subordinates have instructed that the first priority of the subordinates is to ensure the safety of the young lady, and the second is to ensure the safety of the young lady. Help Miss succeed. What kind of difficulties have you encountered? May as well let me help you as a consultant."

I waved my hand: "Don't mention this matter, you are just a chicken rib now."

"Chicken ribs?"

"Oh, have you heard the story about Yang Xiu, Cao Cao's marching director?"

"..."

"Forget it, I really have time to tell some allusions to people like you."

"The name Yang Xiu..." He wrapped his fingers tangled around his long hairband, "Are you referring to the son of the former Taiwei Yang Biao? What does he have to do with Chicken Rib? Do you know him?"

"Gongsun Shao, you are so annoying! Shut up!"

He weakly defended: "Seeing that Miss is unhappy, I want to explain it to you."

I glanced at him, and after a little thought, I told him what happened during the day, and then sighed leisurely: "The water in Jiangdong is deep and muddy, and I don't know when I will get the chance to help Uncle Liu Huang. If you don't Surveillance, you can check it out for me, but it's a pity that now... Sigh."

"Well, if this subordinate tells you now that he has obtained a solution to your worries, will Miss feel better?"

"Nonsense," I snorted, "Now that Sun Quan's subordinates see you firmly, where did you find the clever plan?"

"Even if Miss doesn't believe me, she should believe in Mr. Zhong."

I tried to keep my eyes wide open to determine his expression: "Are you serious? Have you ever contacted Mr.?"

He chuckled: "Miss really underestimated my subordinates. Although I don't have the ultimate skills, it is more than enough to deal with a few dog-legged guards."

"You did it on purpose that day..." I hesitated.

"Miss guessed it right. Back at the Ganlu Temple, it was true that the subordinates deliberately showed weakness and lost to them, but they lost with some skill."

I was suddenly furious: "Okay, you are hiding it from me, what is the crime of not reporting what you know?"

"The subordinate dare not, the subordinate just delayed the time to report the truth a little bit."

Then he explained to me that after he pretended to lose to Sun Quan's guards that day, the surveillance on him was strengthened there.The concentrated targeting for half a month gave others who had never had contact with him more space to move, and then successfully obtained useful things for me.

I was stunned for a moment, and although I was angry at his concealment, I still admired him more, so I said sadly: "Your trick of 'drawing the bottom' is very clever. A few days ago, Mrs. A lot of servants have been dismissed, I'm afraid there are people you arranged among them?"

"Miss is really smart."

I pondered for a while, and then said: "Although this is a good plan, I'm afraid it will come out in the sun, Sun Quan will be the first to suspect you."

"At that time, the young lady can abandon the car and save the handsome man."

I sneered: "I thought you were loyal when I first heard this, but you turned out to be a powerful character. After all, you are still Mr. Zhong's man, right?"

He didn't deny it, and I was a little disappointed: "Forget it, I think too highly of myself." I stretched out my hand, "Take out that thing you said, and have a look."

He reached into the skirt of his clothes and groped for a while, and grabbed out two green bead three-child hairpins of the same style.He handed a beaded hairpin to my hand, and flicked the other in the center with his nails, then unscrewed it and divided it into two halves, pointed to the hollow part of the joint and asked me: "Do you understand? ?”

I nodded, I've seen this kind of thing a lot, and there are usually things like powdered medicine or gunpowder in it.

He spread out his palm, and carefully poured out a little of the powder inside and twisted it on his fingertips: "This medicine is put in wine, and the whole amount can make people sleep soundly for more than five hours. It has no special smell, and even a martial arts practitioner Can't see it."

He quickly handed the pearl hairpin back to me: "You can throw away the medicine-filled hairpin when you're done using it up; you can wear the other ordinary hairpin to hide your eyes and ears."

"This style..." I picked up the pearl hairpin and looked closely at it.

"Don't worry, it's the same as the one you can buy in the market, and it's guaranteed not to be eye-catching."

I inserted two pearl hairpins into my hair, and then casually pulled my hair up: "Gongsun Shao, from today onwards, I must look at you with admiration."

He smiled frivolously: "Miss' character is really lovable."

I pretended to spit: "Yeah, I thought you liked men."

He suppressed a little smile: "You have the final say."

"Shao, if this happens, how should I reward you?"

"Don't dare, the young lady thinks highly of your subordinates, that's the best reward for your subordinates."

I disagree: "I can tell you, I don't have a practice of accumulating prize pools for a big lottery. If you miss this time, you will have to start over next time."

Gongsun Shao has been with me for a few months, and he has long been accustomed to my crazy words. He replied solemnly: "Let's wait until all the dust is settled, and then it will not be too late to reward my merits."

"Okay, it's up to you."

A crescent moon slowly climbed out from the clouds, and the soft moonlight covered the whole small courtyard with a silver veil, as if to reflect my mood.

Walking along the gutter to the eaves, seeing no one below, I quickly tucked the corner of my clothes into my belt, jumped down and crouched on the ground.When I got up again, Gongsun Shao had already stood by my side, and said with a smile, "Miss is very skilled."

I waved my hand, signaling him to back away.

Huzhu heard the voice, opened the door and came out to put on a coat for me.I took a deep look at her: "What did you see just now?"

Huzhu's beautiful almond eyes are gentle and clear at this moment: "The servant was delivered to the young lady by the governor himself, and the servant knows how to measure."

"That's good." I brushed her head and whispered, "So I'm willing to trust you."

She bowed her head deeply.

I raised my hand to help her up: "Has anyone been here in the courtyard?"

"As you ordered, no one will be allowed in."

"Very good." I said with a blank expression, "From now on, except for the people in our yard, please show me, no one else is allowed to enter. Anyone who dares to violate it will be punished and leave the house."

The wind is getting tighter and tighter, and it is necessary to move faster.

This time I was in confinement, and because of my continuous turmoil, on the third day, two actors were sent to the general's mansion, a man and a woman, both around thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, it is said that the song is very good - send Come and cheer me up.

I suddenly remembered that when Wei Xiaobao returned to his hometown in fine clothes, a group of Yangzhou officials got a singer in his 40s and [-]s to sing music for him to relieve his boredom.Her singing skills were superb, but Xiaobao didn't catch her attention. Xiaobao made the woman cry when she said "eighteen touches".Every time I see this, I laugh out loud: If she is really high-spirited, why bother to come to the world.

Although it was sunny today, it was dry and cold. In the early morning, I appeared in front of the two of them wrapped up like a fur ball, and said with a smile: "Today, you may as well let go and sing in my inspiration cave."

The two agreed in unison.I asked someone to lead them to a small garden, and raised a screen to separate the two sides. I simmered on the stove and made a cup of hot tea, humming along while drinking the tea.

The girl's voice was clear and high-pitched, and she sang mostly northern minor tunes. She had a bone flute in her hand, which complemented each other perfectly;Unlocking the case, I saw that it was actually an ebony. I couldn't help but secretly smacked my lips and called him to my face: "This kid is really handsome, how old is it?"

The boy was wearing a vermilion gown, with no hair on the bamboo bones. He looked fair and clean, and he answered generously: "Miss Hui, my villain is 13 years old this year."

"How long have you learned singing?"

"Miss Hui, it's been eight years."

I was slightly surprised: "It really is Lian Jiazi, I wonder if he can compose music according to the lyrics?"

The boy's brows were slightly frowned, and he straightened it out immediately: "This, the villain dare not speak nonsense, you can judge it only by seeing what kind of lyrics you get."

Composing music according to lyrics is the basic skill of many comedians, there is no need to ask this question, but why is this kid pushing back and forth?

I smiled and asked Le Ling to hand over the words I had prepared a long time ago: If it is sad, but because things are different, I will not be that sad person, if I turn into a peach blossom, flirtatious to the point of beauty, smiling every year but spring breeze , Smile but the spring breeze, laugh at that infatuated person until he turns white.

I vaguely remember seeing such a paragraph in the notebook of a sour tea friend back then. I could only silence the main idea, and dare not ask for rhymes and the like.

"The villain is bold, dare to ask Miss, does this phrase have a name?"

I pondered for a moment: "Let's call it "Peach Blossom Resentment". You can compose a tune for me."

He bowed his head in promise.

I ignored him for now, picked up the hem of my skirt and walked down the steps, pressed the ebony yaoqin with one hand, and said with emotion: "When it comes to playing the yaoqin, the six counties in Jiangzuo should push Zhou Dudu as the leader. If he is present now, I'd love to appreciate your playing."

Huzhu behind her saw that I was eager to try, so she hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the surface of the piano, and then asked the servants to come over to replace the red fox fur cushion, and burn the incense of white aconite. Slowly pluck the string with the right hand, and after four or five attempts, a song is played, changing the Chinese chord and singing in a low voice:

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away the heroes, success and failure turn heads to nothing. The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times. White-haired fishermen and woodcutters are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze on the river. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, so many things in ancient and modern times , it’s all a joke..." (Note 1)

When my libretto came out, even the Yuefu Ling in the court didn't know what to sing.Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the two professionals in front of me, I felt a little bit complacent, and said to myself: I have practiced a total of three pieces of music on the guqin, and one of them was listened to by you, which is a big advantage...Laughing low To: "Seeing that the class is playing with an axe, don't laugh at it, both of you."

The two of them knelt down in a panic and bowed down, only saying that they didn't dare.I gave the girl a little help and said, "It's worth kneeling even if it's a big deal. Although I have a bad temper, I'm not someone who doesn't know rewards and punishments." Immediately, my tone changed: "Is it when your master sent you here? What did you say?"

The girl was already going to stand up with my help, and she seemed to be reproachful after listening to my last sentence, the two of them were even more bluffing, and knelt down to kowtow.

I get annoyed just looking at it.I thought that the servants of the general's mansion were the most popular by observing words and deeds, but now it seems that they can't stand the scene.

There was a stalemate on this side, and a hearty smile came from the corridor: "Alan really knows how to hide and relax, but what to do in this corner is so lonely." It was Sun Quan.

I have always been courteous to him in front of others, but seeing that he came to the mansion to look for me in person without hesitation, I was already unhappy, so I hurriedly bowed: "I have seen the general."

He ignored the astonishment of the servants in the courtyard, and he didn't care about my complexion, and laughed to himself: "Isn't this the actor who was sent to you alone? Why is he kneeling on the ground? The stupid slave made you angry." ?”

I laughed wryly in my heart.The incident at the general's mansion the day before yesterday somehow became known to all women and children, and today he came to look for him in person, even if I wanted to separate myself from him, I couldn't do anything.

Fortunately, I didn't want to write it off...
