Qizhou

From that day on, Ci Nian never saw Xu Wenzhi again.

He didn't come to visit the house, so they naturally didn't know what reason to see him.Comfort is useless, pain cannot be communicated after all, and no amount of understanding can empathize.It's better to let him get busy, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are so busy, and the servant who doesn't touch the ground may be able to use this busyness to dilute the depression and sadness in his heart.

Before Qingming, all the etiquettes are in place, and the chosen concubine will finally enter the palace.

All the way back from the Qin Tianjian, He Qizhou listened to the discussions all the way through the palace wall, who's young lady entered the palace, what position was given, and whether she was worthy of the status of her former mother's family... Love is like rain or shine, it is always uncertain. Once you leave the house, you will either buy clothes and food, or buy scripts and legends, but the stories in these books do not exist in reality.

The young master did not use paper kites to lure out the confidante in the high wall, and the young lady did not throw hydrangea balls in exchange for her lifelong love.The hustle and bustle in the palace never seemed to belong to people outside the high walls.He Qizhou didn't have too many thoughts, he just thought, if Xu Wenzhi saw the carriage entering the palace after going to court today, he would have to feel emotional again, and he didn't know what it would be like to be sad.

He Qizhou walked out of the palace gate, walked through the street, bought some snacks he liked in the past year, and then went back to his house facing the setting sun.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month passed.

Xi Nian still practiced reading at home, and occasionally went out for a walk. These days, the flowers in the mountains bloomed, and he also ran to the mountains with the birds. Every time he picked wild flowers of different colors from nowhere. Not counting Guangcai's return, he also found a vase to fill the water to nourish the flowers.Every day when He Qizhou goes home, he can see all kinds of flowers on the table.

There were not enough vases, so he folded the bamboo in the backyard to make a shelf, and hung the flowers in the yard.

Later, he learned how to make lip balm and balm from some craftsman on the street, and the flowers he picked were finally useful. When He Qizhou returned home, what greeted him was not only the smell of rouge and flowers, but also A handsome boy who smeared his lips horizontally and vertically.

"Little ancestor, please do me a favor. If you move down like this, you will pinch all the flowers in the mountain, and we can't put so many flowers in our yard."

One day, as soon as He Qizhou arrived home, Ci Nian excitedly dragged him into the house. The little fox said, "I added finely ground shell powder to the lip balm today. Let me try it. This lip balm is delicious." It's not glowing!"

"Okay...you can try it." He Qizhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he just grabbed the skirt of his clothes and pressed him to the mirror, "What kind of girl are you going to make me look like today?"

"I am the King of the Mountain in the mountains, and you are the Mrs. Yazhai I kidnapped..." Ci Nian grinned. He dipped his finger in lip balm, leaned closer, and gently applied it to He Qizhou's lips. With a meticulous and serious posture, He Qizhou looked like a little master putting on makeup in a theater troupe. He Qizhou smiled, and was about to tease a few words, but Ci Nian put down the porcelain pot in his hand, pinched his cheek, and squeezed the smile that hadn't yet bloomed. Killed in the cradle.

"Don't laugh, you won't be able to paint if you smile."

You can't smile with your mouth, but you didn't say you can't smile with your eyes. Ci Nian concentrated on smearing for a while, then looked left and right, finally opened his mouth, held up the small bronze mirror, and let He Qizhou look at himself in the mirror: "how is it?" ! My shell powder mouth cream is not successful?"

He asked He Qizhou to look in the mirror, but He Qizhou's smiling eyes were particularly disobedient. It arbitrarily poured its warm love on the person holding the mirror, and it didn't intend to stop there.Ci Nian was waiting for a compliment, but he never got it, so he was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Speak, don't just smile!"

"I think... it's a little bit close." He Qizhou glanced at the mirror, took a look, and answered the question, "There is a small flaw, you didn't notice it."

"Small blemishes?" Ci Nian thought that he had painted it seriously just now, and it would look fine. Why did He Qizhou find the blemishes just by looking in the mirror?Ci Nian put down the mirror and moved closer, "Where is it?"

"It's so obvious, haven't you seen it yet?" He Qizhou also moved closer, signaling for Ci Nian to see more clearly, "It's right here, do you see it?"

"Obviously?" Ci Nian was at a loss, what was so obvious?How good is the red tone, how finely the shell powder is ground, and how evenly it is applied, where is the flaw?Ci Nian frowned, reluctantly getting closer.The setting sun outside the window had not yet set, and that last ray of light brightened Ci Nian's eyes.Where is the flaw?Where is it obvious?Ci Nianyi frowned: "You're talking nonsense again..."

The next second, the person sitting at the table suddenly moved. He grabbed Ci Nian's arm with one hand, and wrapped his arms around Ci Nian's waist with the other. In the next instant, those thin lips covered with fresh flowers, It is logical to seal the mouth that Ci Nian was about to chatter.The flowers come from the mountains on the outskirts of Chang'an, and they bloom in the warm spring wind. They were picked back in the last year, washed and ground, and made into this little red that was moist between the two's lips and teeth.

Ci Nian was taken aback for a moment, but kept bending over, trembling and not daring to move.Another 1 voices in his heart scolded He Qizhou for being a liar, but when it really reached his throat, it turned into a slight snort.I'm afraid this flower is not a good flower. If you practice it for hundreds of years, you will become fine. Otherwise, no matter what it makes, it will fascinate people's minds and make people's minds messy. It's not good to hide or push. No, escape is not!

He Qizhou saw that he was struggling so hard, so he took the initiative to let go of his lips, smiled and took a breath with him, his face blushed, and he just wanted to get up and scold him, but he hugged him with both hands and retracted his arms, firmly bundled in his arms.This time, he sat on He Qizhou's lap, and the lip smear on the man's mouth was smeared and faded, making him unattractive.But he didn't take it seriously, instead he said softly: "This blemish is the lack of you, do you think it will be more perfect after adding it?"

"Nonsense..." Ci Young complained in a voice, but didn't get up from his lap.

He Qizhou laughed for a while, then gradually let go of his hand, and said, "Aren't you going to hide?"

"Who allowed you to let go?" Ci Nian wiped the corner of his mouth forcefully, pressed back his hand that gradually moved away from his waist, held his face that was stained with red, and kissed that mouth that knew it was deceitful, The little fox didn't know what to do, and kissed very hard. The mouths of the two were squeezed for a long time, and the gums were sore. Point back to the gentle track.

"I want to kiss you, not a lie." The flowery kiss ended again, and He Qizhou leaned against the forehead of the person in front of him, carefully counting the shining stars in his eyes, "If in the future, every time I want to kiss you, I can kiss you." Frankly, then I won't use this poor excuse."

Ci Nian gasped for a few moments, and muttered: "What can't you say bluntly, you have a thick skin..."

He Qizhou said with a smile: "After a few more kisses, you will come back again, it doesn't matter."

Still can't beat him, from Zhuxi Mountain to Chang'an, no matter how many times they quarreled, they couldn't beat him, Ci Nian let out a "tss", He Qizhou hurriedly seized the gap of his sound, and gnawed at his slightly raised lips again After taking a sip, Ci Nian was stunned: "You are addicted! There is really something wrong with this flower!"

He Qizhou blinked: "Yes, in the future you will pick the flowers back to make lip balm. If I see it, I want to kiss you. Don't jump on the roof."

Moaning, Ci Nian took out the veil and wiped his face vigorously: "It's useless for you to threaten me, I still want to pick flowers and come back to make rouge."

"Aren't you afraid of kissing?" He Qizhou teased.

Ci Nian glared: "You're the only one with a mouth? I don't know how to kiss! Don't run away when it's my turn to kiss you!"

"Okay, whoever runs away will not be allowed to eat snacks overnight?"

Hearing this, the little fox immediately became anxious: "You...don't you eat dim sum! Why are you so cruel! You..."

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. The two of them were in the room, and at first they couldn't hear it very clearly, but the person who knocked on the door slapped twice, and when no one answered, he jumped over the wall and left. In, not only came in by himself, but also yelled at the top of his voice: "Qizhou! Where are people! Come out quickly! There is something big!"

"Who is it..." Ci Nian asked, but he didn't intend to get up from He Qizhou's lap.

He Qizhou smiled, took the handkerchief in Ci Nian's hand, and wiped off all the grease on the corners of his mouth and cheeks for him: "Come here without invitation, who else can it be, let's go, King of the Mountain, it's time to go out to meet guests. My legs are comfortable to sit on, and I will sit slowly when I go back to the house at night."

"..." Ci Nian pushed him dumbfounded, "Don't talk!"

Who else can come?Qin Ge is the only one in the whole capital who can be so careless and not treat himself as an outsider.When the two came out of the back room, Qin Ge was looking for someone from room to room like a headless fly. Seeing that he was going to the kitchen, He Qizhou hurriedly called to stop him: "There are people here, what are you looking for? Are you here?" Be more disciplined, if I really do something in the house, if you rush in like this, it will not be as simple as beating you up."

"What can you do! Beat me up!" When Qin Ge saw him, he hurried over to greet him, "You hurry up!"

"Where?"

"Go to the Western Market Tavern!" Qin Ge thought for a moment, and didn't intend to explain in detail, and walked out while dragging He Qizhou, "It's a long story, so I'll tell you as I walk, today my patrol is over and I'm changing defenses, I saw the Ministry of Punishment leading people out, and I wondered why there was such a big fight, so I asked a few questions, and guess what happened?"

Why is this person still playing tricks at this time? He Qizhou gave a "tsk", but had to cooperate and said, "What's the matter?"

"They received a report from the officer that someone was drunk and making trouble in the Xishi Tavern! The troublemaker was none other than the gentle and gentle Mr. Xu before!" Qin Ge said anxiously, "I have inquired about it. He has been around since the draft. Asked for leave, took all the leave before and after, and didn't take a good rest after taking leave, and went to the tavern to drink all day long. People in the store saw him as a gentleman and a poor drinker, so naturally they didn't dare to sell more for fear that he would drink An accident happened, and it turned out...he got drunk after a few jars, and even bought wine when he was drunk.

The three of them traveled quickly, and within a short while, they arrived at their destination.After a while, there was already a slight smell of alcohol in the air. Ci Nian had a sensitive nose, and immediately smelled the smell of alcohol. He covered his mouth and nose, and shook his head: "It smells so bad..."

Before the words fell, there was another sound of smashing and smashing in the tavern, and the common people exclaimed, but no one dared to approach.He Qizhou ran a few steps faster, and saw the drunk with disheveled hair at a glance.His eyes were red from drinking, he held the wine jar, and poured it into his mouth recklessly. The shopkeeper was so afraid of being smashed by him that he didn't dare to say a word, shivering shivering at the counter beside him.

But the officers and soldiers who came after hearing the news saw that this drunk was extraordinary, and none of them dared to go forward, so they could only sit in a group, watching him smash this way and that way in the shop, and kept chanting Write some verses without a stanza.

Seeing He Qizhou and Qin Ge coming, the officers and soldiers hurried up to meet the two saviors as if they were being pardoned: "General Qin! Master He! This... this Master Xu is the servant of the Ministry of Rites after all, we dare not arrest... this ..."

He Qizhou took out the money bag and stuffed it to Qin Ge: "Take it, give it to the shopkeeper, and say that Master Xu paid for it, so don't be afraid."

Qin Ge responded, took the silver and walked into the shop.When the surrounding people saw it, they hurriedly dissuaded them: "You can't enter! You can't enter!"

Why can't I get in?Qin Ge was at a loss, but the moment he stepped into the tavern, Xu Wenzhi, who was drinking and reciting poems just now, felt like a falcon whose territory had been violated. He staggered and rushed towards Qin Ge When he came over, he smelled of alcohol and was about to vomit. Qin Ge was not an ordinary commoner. When he saw him coming, he moved his feet flexibly and walked around behind him in a flash.Only two feet away from the counter, Qin Ge simply greeted and threw the money bag over: "Master Xu lost his composure. This is the money he paid for compensation. It's troublesome for the shopkeeper. Your lord has a lot of money."

The shopkeeper was also clever. Hearing this, he hurriedly raised his head, took the purse, and retracted back behind the counter like a mouse, responding in a series of voices: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Xu Wenzhi wasted no time, stunned for a while, poured himself another sip of wine, and said angrily: "I am born to be useful!"

"Okay, good, it's useful..." Qin Ge coaxed, but his hands were merciless. He grabbed Xu Wenzhi's hand with one hand, and raised his shoulder with the other. Before Xu Wen's next line came out, Then he hit the spine on the back of the head, this blow was neither light nor heavy, just enough to completely knock down the drunkard who was not drunk yet.The wine jar fell to the ground with another crisp sound.

Qin Ge carried the fainted Xu Wenzhi on his back, and walked out of the tavern without haste.The surrounding people breathed a sigh of relief, and praised General Qin for his bravery and martial arts. After watching the excitement, the crowd naturally dispersed.

"Where are you going?" Qin Ge carried the person on his back and asked He Qizhou for advice.

He Qizhou sighed and said, "Send him home..."
