Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

At dawn, Liu Fu and Shi Shen's motorcade set off from the palace, and the cars were light and simple, so no one had to see them off.There are not many pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and they all lower their heads and are busy with their own work. Most of them are poor people who have started their day's work.

Scattered cars were driving towards the Forbidden City, and Liu Fu recognized one or two from the corner of the curtain, and he murmured: "It's almost time to go to court."

"Second Master, you've been busy all night, let's take a break." Shi Shen squinted his eyes and said in a bit of sleepiness.

"Brother Huakuang, I can't sleep." Liu Fu put down the curtain, shook his head lightly, rolled up his sleeves and took the medicine from Fengxiangran's purse.

Shi Shen opened his eyes and said, "Second Master's worries are not easy to solve, but I think it's useless to think too much."

"Hua Kuang also thought that this king wasted his mind and mind only for some insignificant things?"

"No, every thought is born from the heart. What the heart thinks, what the emotion depends on, comes from the true nature and cannot be changed. It's just that I am a little worried when I see that the second master's spirit is strained."

When Liu Fu saw Shen bowed his head, his face was calm, but what he just said made Liu Fu's heart tremble, he adjusted his expression and smiled: "How do you know that this king will be trapped by love? Is there any woman in this world that this king can't get?" ?”

"Sometimes it's hard to be sincere when you get someone, but sometimes it's already tacit, but you can't overcome the inherent prejudices in people's hearts." When Shi Shen said this, he also smiled slightly: "Second Lord, have you heard of my minister?" rumors?"

Liu Fu was a little embarrassed when he was asked, of course he had heard many rumors about Shi Shen, it was nothing more than a romantic affair of a talented man and a beautiful woman, but he never took it seriously.

When Shi Shen saw Liu Fu shaking his head, he said with a smile: "I have a good gentleman in Piling. Of course, only Hua Kuang respects him as a gentleman. Others only say that he is a gentleman who sings opera. This gentleman has a brilliant spirit. He is so talented, Hua Kuang really admires him in his heart." He continued to laugh with a trace of helplessness: "I never take what others say, I never take it to heart, it is enough to have such a confidant."

Liu Fu was puzzled and said: "Since you recognize him as a confidant, why don't you redeem yourself and stay in the mansion?"

"People's hearts and ambitions are different, so it's natural for Hua Kuang to admire him and respect him. We see the misery in the dusty place, but if he enjoys it, he doesn't have to force others to make it difficult."

Liu Fu showed a somewhat gratified expression, nodded and said, "That's right, everyone has their own ambitions, and it's rare to find someone as reasonable as you."

The two were talking, when the carriage was pulled back with a "wheeze", and a jolt caused the two of them to stare at each other.

Shi Shen lifted the blue satin curtain in front of the car, frowned and asked Yao Ke who was sitting sideways in front what was going on.Yao Ke gripped the wooden edge tightly, frowned and said: "It seems that there is something up ahead, and it suddenly stopped."

When Shi Shen and Yao Ke walked to the front of the motorcade, they saw something thrown on the ground and they didn't know what it was. They were blocked in front of the car with their skins and blood dripping, and a pool of bright red was still spreading around.

"Master, someone dropped this just now." A boy said while cleaning the sack.

Shi Shen frowned and felt that someone had deliberately stopped the convoy, but before leaving the capital, who would use this method to cause trouble?He felt bad in his heart and hurried to Liufu's place.Before the car reached the center, the sky began to snow.

Shi Shen stretched out his hand to grab it, and grabbed the paper money floating in a circle from the air, with two words written on it:

After lingering in the back garden, Man Tingfang, regained a dragon and a phoenix.

Shi Shen frowned, looked up at the sky above, and saw that the southeast wind was blowing today, the paper money should have been thrown not far away when someone left the body, it was someone with a heart trying to restore their reputation.Shi Shen crumpled the paper money and threw it aside, turned over and went back into the carriage.

Liu Fu asked what was going on outside, Shi Shen said: "It's some foul language, Er Ye don't need to read it."

Liu Fu became even more curious after hearing this, and the more he was not allowed to see it, the more he wanted to see it, thinking about it, he got out of the carriage.He saw a group of people picking up paper money on the ground in a panic and pocketing it in their clothes, for fear that outsiders would pick it up and see it.Liu Fu also picked up one to look at, he sneered and felt very helpless, he threw the paper money into the basket of an attendant beside him and returned to the car.

"I can bear these words." Liu Fu smiled at Shi Shen.

Shi Shen's eyes were filled with distress, and he frowned slightly and said, "If the second master wishes to be a wealthy and idle person, Piling is a good place to go."

Liu Fu waved his hand and said, "I'm still so young, I still have a lot of things to do, there's no need to find a place for me to retire."

When Shi Shen saw that he was in such a good mood, he felt pity for his youthful fame and burden, so he just smiled, rolled down the curtain, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

In a blink of an eye, it was May 27th again, and Qingxue Society booked the Red Sleeve Teahouse to hold a tea banquet for appreciating "On Spring and Autumn".They did it last year, but they didn't set up a teahouse to make a big splash, they invited a few familiar sisters to talk in Luo's house.

But this year is different. Since the King of Weiyi won a big victory at the border, the third master has done several decent errands one after another. The Yi family's power in the capital is in full swing. It is said that the emperor has to rely on the power of the third master to do many things well.Especially last year at the Double Ninth Festival, the third master ascended to the heights in front of the wind, fascinated many women with his upright style, and now he is in the limelight in the capital like no other.Therefore, the scale of Qingxue Society far exceeds that of last year, and in time for the cancellation of the national funeral, Mrs. Luo must take the lead to take care of this matter.

The tea banquet was supposed to be after noon, and Luo Nvjun went to the teahouse to check the layout at about the same time. Seeing that the servants were making the maids busy in the building, she nodded and found a place to sit.

"My lady, there are quite a few plays lined up in Tongyinzhai's theater today. I thought they would break up after three years of silence. Who would have thought that they would be having a good time now."

Luo Nujun twisted her handkerchief and leaned in front of the fence, watching the crowds of people heading towards Huanyiyuan. Apart from Tongyin Zhai's scarves, there were also some students who preferred Xiangcai, all of them were looking at Tongyin Ji's name went to listen to the husbands singing.

Luo Nujun said lazily: "They have finally been able to raise their voices after waiting for so long. Naturally, they will make a lot of noise, which is very vulgar."

"Of course, we're talking about literati. They're all actors' accents, and they can't be elegant. Besides, the second master was trampled half to death, and now he's out of Beijing again. The Peach Blossom family is fine. Wutong's family can't make big waves, we still have to pay attention to Mudan's family."

Luo Nujun turned to look at the women around her and said, "This second master can't blame us for humiliating him. It was he who made such a big commotion when San Lang lost his mother, so that our son was pointed at the spine and slandered. I can't stop practicing witchcraft for so long without stepping him into the mud. In fact, the uncle did more evil things, but we were weak at that time, and we couldn't beat him. Now it's time to turn our eyes on the uncle. Stare at him."

The woman on the side replied: "You are right. When the third master came to Beijing, he humiliated him many times and suppressed the members of the third master's family. Now he can't take care of so many big things by himself, and the third master's family has to bear them. Who the hell is this?" home world?"

Mrs. Luo took the veil and threw it away, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, people who listen to it are just clues. Just remember the purpose of our club."

"Call the evil of the Quartet outside, and worship the beauty of Chu State inside. The girls will remember them even after they die."

Luo Nujun nodded, frowned slightly, and said with a sad expression: "My Sanlang is full of talents and virtuousness but has been excluded, and his temperament is so quiet and delicate. It's a pity that he forbears and humbly meets a group of white-eyed wolves in the end. I understand his attitude." I really don't want him to be let down by others, if he doesn't let it go, then I will do it." Speaking of this, Luo Nujun's tears welled up in her eyes, she quickly wiped it with a handkerchief, smiled and let him go. Everyone get busy, it must be done in a prosperous manner today.

It was just after noon, and people came to the teahouse one after another, most of them were scarves, and there were also a few dudes who came with their female relatives, and even some people who heard that there were many things today, just wandered over from Huanyiyuan to see Lively market poppier.The tea table of Qingxue Club refused to let those rascals come and watch. The boy standing at the door sent them to other places with some melon and fruit snacks.

"Why don't you let us take a look? You Jingui are all out to sell your face. Let's see what's going on?" Groups of idlers surrounded a circle crookedly, grabbed snacks from the servants and stuffed them in. In his arms, he knocked the melon seeds and spat out the skin.

The little fellow smiled and said: "Today, there are no invitations that will not be accepted, so don't make things difficult for the young masters."

"Hey? Then how did I hear that there are songs to listen to?"

"Me too. I just came from Huanyiyuan. It's a big show. I also set up a stage outside. The gentleman I invited is really amazing. He has a good figure and tone. Hey, it's interesting. His third grandfather has a great family history, and the good life of the second grandfather and the second grandfather is just for people to look at, and he even puts on airs when he writes a bad article."

"Yeah, I've heard that the third master is noble, and he claims that Qu Yuan is alive. People like us don't like him at all."

Luo Nujun stood at the door talking to a few important companies and making excuses, seeing some passers-by chattering outside as if they were dissatisfied, she first asked her assistant to help her with the entertainment in front of her, and went outside to take a look by herself.

"Hey, what the masters said, I am just a small poetry club, what can I have to do with the third master?" Luo Nujun pinched her veil, she couldn't see her face under the scarlet embroidered pear flower, but she smiled. The eyes are very warm.

Several people saw that the visitor was well dressed, they smiled compensatingly, and even made some sarcastic remarks with an indescribably noble posture.

"Sister, look at what this little bastard is saying. It seems that you look down on us. You need to pay for the music, and we are not short of the money for the tea, but what is the reason for treating the guests slowly? ?”

"You guys don't know. Today, I, the Luo family, entrusted me to take over the teahouse and invited a few guests from the poetry club. It's just a private tea table, so many people know about it." Luo Nujun laughed. .

Several people laughed for a while, and someone said: "Oh, what a big shelf, isn't it just an article like a journal. If you want me to come, it's easy to write a basket of baskets. It's ridiculous that someone still uses it to brag about it."

Luo Nujun's face was pale and pale, and she could hardly see it even covered by the face scarf. She held back her anger and said, "Every article in the world has its own merits. Some people love it and some don't. It's all normal. Why derogate it?"

"I can't even say that, your third master is really precious. When you write something like this, you get someone to post it around and promote it. It's annoying to hear this name every day. There are many famous people who are better than him. Articles that are both Italian and French are buried by the graffiti works of nobles, and the literati in this world really want to sigh!" A scholar in a patched gown frowned and shook his head.

"Brother Tai is so right. I have long been annoyed by the ostentatious appearance of these noble sons. Is it because they are born, handsome, have a lot of money, and can talk sweetly? Tell me why these women are like this Self-willed to be lowly?"

Luo Nujun was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't help arguing with them in the street, otherwise people would not remember that it was a quarrel between Rogue and Rongjin, and instead wrote down the rumors that slandered the third master, and then went out to spread rumors.

Just as Luo Nujun was about to speak, someone from a distance said: "It's Luo Nujun, today is a really good day."
