The love of the rich family is hard to break

The weather in summer is scorching hot, and the cicadas keep singing on the tall trees, which makes people feel irritable involuntarily.

"This weather is trying to kill me with heat."

Prince Ming Qibo was sitting on a recliner in the gazebo, with his skirts open, revealing a light wheat-colored and lean chest and a belly without a trace of fat. While holding a piece of watermelon, he gnawed it indistinctly, and muttered from time to time. Complain a few times.

"Give me all those annoying cicadas." After nibbling a piece of watermelon, he casually threw the watermelon rind away, pointed at the boys who were busy under the tree and yelled, his handsome face was full of It is murderous.

"Your Majesty, the tailor shop has brought you the ice silkworm and silver silk clothes that you ordered."

A man who looked like a housekeeper came over, bent over and reported respectfully.In fact, the so-called ice silkworm silver silk is just a kind of silk, because the fabric it is made of is relatively thin, so the name of cool silk is deliberately chosen, and it is reserved for making clothes in summer.

Speaking of it, the ice silkworm and silver silk material in the palace is naturally the best in the world, but Prince Ming has such a quirk, he likes to go to the folks to buy food and clothing, which is called a special flavor.

"Is this the first time you are working in my palace today?"

Qi Bai stared viciously at the ignorant housekeeper: "Damn it, the king wants to personally meet a clothes delivery person? Are you smart enough?"

It's so hateful, seeing him in a bad mood, even Qi Peng, who has always been winking, moved forward. If the other party hadn't been with him for more than ten years and has always been loyal, Qi Bai would like to fly right now. Kick him straight into the pond.

"My lord, how dare other slaves come to bother you? It's really this person, maybe the Lord will be defeated after seeing him." Qi Peng smiled and narrowed his eyes, which really aroused Qi Bai's curiosity.

"Who? You're so mysterious." Qi Bai peeled a grape and stuffed it into his mouth: "Don't fool me."

"It's Mr. Duan Yishu, the former Governor of Kyoto." Qi Peng smiled. From the moment he saw the young man who was originally a fourth-rank official but now reduced to an errand boy, he knew that at noon today, I can have some fun. up.

"Duan Yishu? Is that the guy who participated in the construction of another garden that I occupied a hundred houses? Governor of Kyoto? Didn't he be dismissed from office by my brother? Why..."

Qi Bai frowned and recalled, and suddenly realized, his eyes lit up: "You said, he came to deliver the clothes to the king? He is now working as an errand boy in the tailor shop?"

"Isn't it? If it weren't for that, how would the servant dare to come to trouble the Lord?" Qi Peng smiled obsequiously, and as expected, he saw Qi Bai sitting up from the reclining chair.

"See, call him over, oh, how can I be rude to such a big man who is so proud and unafraid of power?" Qi Bai's eyes were full of excitement.

Since returning from the frontier three years ago, the emperor's elder brother's favor for him is blind. All the courtiers knew it in their hearts. In the bloody years when the prince took the throne, if he hadn't blocked it With so many swords, the throne may not be the brother's turn.A brother of a compatriot, he himself is not expected to be an emperor, so who would he help if he doesn't help his elder brother?

In Qi Bai's view, this is something that should be done, but the current emperor has always been so grateful that he was transferred back from the bitter cold frontier after he ascended the throne, and he was bestowed with honor and favor. Saying "no" to this Prince Ming is only because the emperor himself said when he was ennobled: "When you see Prince Ming, you are like seeing me. You can even be presumptuous in front of me, but you are not allowed to be presumptuous in front of him."

What kind of status is this?The courtiers have spent half their lives fighting in the officialdom, so they don't understand how powerful it is.But even though the emperor said so, Qi Bai didn't like to put on airs, so he had a good reputation among the ministers.

That's why, the courtiers knew all about the fact that he occupied the residences and built the other gardens, but no one was willing to speak up, just joking, let alone occupying several residences, in order to understand the position of the prince, I am afraid that he occupied the emperor's position. The emperor may not be willing to control the imperial garden, so who is willing to touch this nail?

Amidst the unanimous silence, there was only one person who stepped forward, and that person was Duan Yishu, governor of Kyoto.

Duan Yishu was the number one scholar in the 39th year of the first emperor. He was not as famous as a young man with a weak crown. He was famous all over the world for his talents and articles. Because of his poor family, he refused to make friends with powerful people. magistrate.

However, the loss of the opportunity to join the cabinet did not let this young man down. He worked so hard in the local affairs that he was transferred to three impoverished counties in six years, and managed the prosperity of the three counties. After the emperor ascended the throne, he happened to see this The person's dossier felt that he was passionate about serving the country and worthy of a pillar of talent, so he was exceptionally promoted to governor of Kyoto, promoted from a seventh-rank county magistrate to three ranks, and became a fourth-rank official.

After serving as governor of the capital for one year, the law and order in the capital improved significantly.The emperor has also praised him many times.If it hadn't been for offending the Emperor's Nilin this time, if it was Prince Ming, the Emperor might not have dealt with him so severely.

Although Duan Yishu served as governor of the capital for only one year, he offended a lot of dignitaries for the common people. Therefore, those dignitaries took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, which made the emperor cut his official position so cruelly, and said that he would never use it. The status of the prince in the eyes of the emperor.

This Qi Bai has always been used to running rampant in Chaozhongjing, now that someone dares to join him, how can he not be furious?In addition, he is a martial artist, although he is strong in martial arts, he has no literary talent. He admires those talented people most in his life. He heard about Duan Yishu's talent that day, so Baba came to ask for words, but Duan Yishu knew all kinds of evils that he did not intend Yes, so he flatly refused, which also made him hold a grudge.

That's why, today, when I heard that Duan Yishu, a once high-ranking and talented man, was reduced to running errands for others, Qi Bai immediately became ill-intentioned, secretly thinking that if he didn't take advantage of this moment to tease and humiliate him, when would he wait?

Qi Peng took the order to go out, and from a distance, he saw the handsome and gentle young man standing quietly on the porch, the wind was blowing and the leaves were moving, and there were many exotic flowers and plants in the backyard, but they seemed to have lost their color before the quiet brilliance.

Qi Peng was puzzled in his heart, he secretly said that his face was more beautiful than that of an overpowering country, and he was wearing coarse cloth and short clothes, which was unbearable, but why was he standing there so that people could only see his face The man and the pile of clothes in his arms, could it be that he is full of poetic and bookish spirit?

"Come with me."

While thinking about it, he gave an order, Duan Yishu came back to his senses, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you." Then he followed behind him.

It was summer, and there were two or three guys in the store who had eaten up their stomachs, and there was really no manpower.Because Duan Yishu offended too many powerful people, it was very difficult to find a job to support his family. He couldn't even sell calligraphy. He finally found this tailor shop, which belongs to the Marquis of Jin Wen. The Marquis still admires him for his character and literary talent. , Fang sheltered him and found a job as a servant in it.

Duan Yishu is a man who is safe and ready at any time, knowing that he will never be able to show his ambitions in this life, only Gaotang's old mother still needs to be served, he has already made up his mind, no matter what he does in the past few years, as long as it can feed and clothe his mother, he will only wait for her After driving the crane to the west, he left the capital and lived a life like a wild crane.

Therefore, when the shopkeeper arranged for him to come to Prince Ming's mansion to deliver clothes, although he felt helpless, he took it without saying a word.He only thought that a clothes delivery boy would not have to meet the prince, so that he might be spared from being humiliated, but he was unexpectedly recognized by Qi Peng, so he still did not escape this disaster.

Now following Qi Peng's footsteps to Ningbi Garden, he saw Qi Bai sitting on a rattan chair with his legs crossed from afar, and seeing him coming, the bully prince stood up, laughed and said, "Yo, isn't this a paragraph?" Your Excellency? What’s going on? Did you deliver someone’s clothes?”

Rao Duan Yishu's gentle, calm and calm temperament, facing this harsh words, he couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, but then let go immediately, and said softly: "Although the villain is no longer in the court class, he still has to support his family. My lord, here are your clothes, please check and accept them.”

Qi Bai ordered people to put away the clothes, but he didn't even look at those clothes. He came over and looked at Duan Yishu with a smile and said, "Really? That's how it is, Master Duan, being a servant, being called around by others How does it feel? But it's more relaxed than being a fourth-rank official?"

"Lord Lao remembers it, but it is indeed a little more relaxed. The villain now understands that it turns out that it is far more tiring than hard work. Although I need to go back and forth now, I don't have to worry about it like walking on thin ice. I am very comfortable."

Duan Yishu answered neither humble nor overbearing, only staring at Qi Bai angrily, thinking to see, this cooperation is not because I humiliated him, but because he ran to me to show off his might.

Suddenly Qi Peng said from the side: "My lord, you haven't tried those clothes and shoes yet, why don't you try them now, and if the size doesn't fit, let Duan Xiaoge take them back to the tailor shop, so as to save him an extra trip Let's go." Since Duan Yishu is a servant, naturally he can't call him Mr. Duan, if this little brother is called someone else, he is still kind, but calling him is a little bit more joking.

Qi Bai glared, and was about to scold Qi Peng, but suddenly thought about what he meant, squinted his eyes and smiled: "That's right, that's right, please ask Master Duan to change clothes for this king, if there is something inappropriate, don't blame me smashed your shop."

Duan Yi's face turned pale, and he suddenly looked up at Qi Bai, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes seemed to spew fire.

"What? Lord Duan doesn't want to?" Qi Bai sneered, staring sharply at the frail scholar in front of him: Hmph, you little boy, look down on me?so what?Don't you, a talented Wenquxing, want to dress Lao Tzu in a low voice.

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated." Duan Yishu gritted his teeth and said every word, no longer calm as before.

"Really?" Qi Bai rolled up his sleeves: "Scholars can be killed but not humiliated, that's good. If Mr. Duan has such a backbone, then he should die. It's just that this king heard that Mr. Duan has Gaotang's old mother." , but I don’t know what will happen to her old man’s life in the future, tsk tsk, I don’t know if the old man can bear the grief of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.”

Duan Yishu is a well-known dutiful son, even a guy like Qi Bai who doesn't care about everything knows that his family supports Gaotang's old mother, just because the mother is a bit withdrawn, he is afraid that marrying a lady from a nobleman's family will make her angry Shou, if it is a woman of low status, his mother refuses to give in, so he has been living so far, and the person who is nearly thirty years old has not yet married a wife, which is a joke in the entire capital.

Sure enough, when he heard about his mother, Duan Yishu felt as if he had been severely whipped. He took a deep breath, slowly regained his previous composure, and said indifferently with a low eyebrow, "Yes, may I ask where the lord wants to change?"

"It's right here." Qi Bai snorted coldly, and dismissed the many maids and servants who were waiting to watch the fun: "Go, go, stay away from the master, don't embarrass Lord Duan. But it’s the first time a big girl has been on the sedan chair for a talented person who is famous all over the world, and if you look at it here, you might not even be able to move your fingers.”

Duan Yishu's white teeth were almost crushed by himself, but no matter how much humiliation he had, he could only swallow it silently.Seeing that everyone retreated outside the gazebo, he had no choice but to take the top piece of clothes out of the pile of clothes with shame. At the same time, Qi Bai also took off his long gown, only wearing a pair of big pants from top to bottom, naked Showing a leopard-like body and those smooth, flexible and graceful muscles.

This figure is really perfect, but there is no man who is not envious.Even Duan Yishu, after only one glance, was embarrassed to look at it again. Thinking of his fair and thin body, he felt ashamed and sighed secretly that he was a scholar who was useless.

"Master Duan is really holding a pen, and his hands are more beautiful and slender than a woman's." Qi Bai is not a masculine man, the reason why he said this deliberately is to compare Duan Yishu to a woman to humiliate, for a noble and proud scholar-bureaucrat Nothing could be more stinging than such an insult.

Fortunately, Duan Yishu also knew that Prince Ming was lustful but not masculine, otherwise he would have run away, because he bit his lip and didn't answer him, secretly praying that this torture, which was comparable to torture, would end soon, who would Knowing that Qi Bai refused to let him get what he wanted, he tried on for nearly two hours before he finished trying on all the seven or eight sets of clothes.

Duan Yishu wiped the sweat from his brow, his beautiful face became even paler, and he felt that two hours was longer than the sum of his past 27 years, but fortunately, it was finally over.

Seeing the figure of Duan Yishu fleeing in a hurry, Qi Bai was in a good mood after being depressed for a whole day. He laughed loudly and proudly said: "Duan Yishu, Duan Yishu, you have today too. Good, very good." He looked at Qi Peng: " You have done a good job today, go to the account to get a reward of ten taels of silver, that's right, tomorrow I will call someone to measure my body for my master, let's make a few more sets of clothes, and let this shop do it. "

Who is Qi Peng, how can he not understand the reason of his lord's mind at the moment, he quickly smiled flatteringly: "My lord, you have enough clothes, but you don't have a few pairs of boots and cloth shoes for summer, That tailor shop also makes shoes, how about tomorrow...""Shoes?" Qi Bo rolled his eyes, thinking of the scene where Duan Yishu knelt on the ground meekly to measure his feet and try on shoes for him, he couldn't help laughing wildly again .

On the second day, Duan Yishu went to the tailor's shop. Before he could take a sip of tea, the servants of Prince Ming's mansion came to the door, and as soon as they came, three or four came, and asked Duan Yishu to measure for the prince by name. If you refuse, they will kidnap you.

Duan Yishu is helpless, knowing that Qi Bai is eyeing him, if he doesn't satisfy his tormenting psychology, it is impossible to give up.I had no choice but to bring a cloth ruler to the palace.

Today, he was not in the back garden, but was led into Qi Bai's study, seeing him sitting on a chair in a princely suit, Duan Yishu knew that it was impossible to bend down and see him verbally like yesterday.Since he is wearing the prince's clothes, not to mention that he is just a commoner now, even if he is still a fourth-rank governor, he still needs to kneel and worship at this moment.

"Grassmen see the lord." Duan Yishu calmly knelt down to see him, having already fallen to this point, and knowing that he would not be humiliated today and could not go out.

"Oh, Master Duan is here?" Qi Bai sat on the chair and smiled slightly, stretching out his feet: "Since you are kneeling, it's just right, come over and measure the size for me, so you don't have to get up, and you have to wait a while Kneel."

Sure enough.

Duan Yishu laughed bitterly in his heart, his trembling hands could hardly hold the cloth strip that was used as a ruler, blood seemed to drip from his heart, and with every drop, the words "hold back."

Taking a few deep breaths, Duan Yishu walked a few pale knees, came to Qi Bo, took off his shoes, stretched out his trembling hand to measure the size of his big foot, his heart was beating violently and rapidly because of this unbearable humiliation.

It is good to have power.

Qi Bai sneered in his heart, and looked at Duan Yishu who was not far away without blinking, his beautiful face flushed like a peach blossom that just bloomed, he could barely be regarded as a handsome man, of course, his heart was surging The pleasure I feel is not because of this masculinity, but the excitement of trampling my former enemy under my feet and humiliating me.

After finally measuring the size, Duan Yishu didn't know how he left Prince Ming's Mansion. Thinking that he would come to deliver boots to Qi Bai in a few days, he would be humiliated again. He only felt that the blood on his body was about to freeze.

"Interesting, really interesting, hahaha..."

In the study, Qi Bai watched Duan Yishu's leaving back and laughed loudly: "Very good, this summer will not be boring any more."

In this way, Duan Yishu would be called to Prince Ming's mansion every few days, let Qi Bai humiliate him with words, and even change his clothes and try on his shoes.If it was his temperament, he would rather be hit to death than suffer such humiliation, but for the sake of his mother's food and clothing, he had to swallow these humiliations—and blood.

In the blink of an eye, summer passed by in a hurry, and the days of autumn were crisp and clear, and even the sky became extremely high and blue.

On this day, Duan Yishu was called to Prince Ming's mansion again, but Qi Bai probably got tired of playing the previous game of changing clothes and changing shoes. After looking at him for a long time, Fang rolled his eyes and said: "Today, the king doesn't make clothes, I don’t make shoes either, so I shouldn’t ask you to come here. It’s just that two of the clothes I sent a few days ago were too weak. The king accidentally caught a nail when he entered the palace, and it broke. Brother, if you can’t get down in front of me, you can tell yourself, how do you pay for it?”

This is pure nonsense, not to mention thin fabrics in summer and autumn, even if it is brocade worn in winter, how can it withstand nails?It's just that Duan Yishu naturally understood that Qi Bai would not listen to these reasons, what he wanted was just a trick to humiliate himself.

"How does the lord want to pay? The villain is just a clerk in the store, and he doesn't know much about these things." Duan Yishu knelt on the ground and replied in a deep voice.

Qi Bai nodded, with a smile on his lips: "Forget it, there is no shortage of these clothes in my palace, and you don't need to pay any money for clothes. Aren't you a clerk in the tailor shop? Help me sew the two pieces of clothes here."

As the saying goes, a man should stay far away from the kitchen and should not even enter the kitchen, let alone the needlework done by these women?In particular, Duan Yishu used to be a well-known talent all over the world. His hands were used to grind and write, and transcribe poems on memorials. How could he do needlework?

Qi Bai originally thought that this time not only humiliated the enemy in front of him, but also created a big problem for him.Thinking about the fine craftsmanship of the tailor shop that made his clothes, not to mention that Duan Yishu doesn't know how to be a female celebrity, even if he knows how to be a female celebrity, he definitely can't do it to such a fine level.At that time, as long as he can't do well, he can throw his clothes on his face and insult him wantonly.

The more Qi Bai thought about it, the more excited he became. These days, he was just ridiculing with words, and he really hadn't scolded this Yishu loudly.Because he didn't wait for him to answer, he ordered people to fetch clothes and threw them in front of the other party.

Duan Yishu picked up the clothes calmly, and Qi Bo deliberately said in a gracious tone: "Just sit in the chair and let me see your handicraft. After these few days in the tailor shop, you will always improve a little bit, right?"

"Yes." Duan Yishu answered lightly, took the clothes into his hands, sat down on the chair, skillfully found a needle from the basket, compared the colors of the clothes, found the cotton thread of the same color, and started flying needles Traces.

Qi Bai looked at it in disbelief, thinking how could this be possible?How could Duan Yishu really know how to mend clothes?He got off the chair, came to stand in front of the other party, and saw the slender and slender fingers flying up and down, which was very skillful.A strand of black hair hung loose, gently swaying in front of the beautiful forehead following the master's movements, which was extraordinarily seductive.

I don't know how long I stood there, but I saw sweat dripping from Duan Yishu's forehead. Looking at the dress again, the seam has been mended. Although it is not as fine as in the store, compared to the thick stitches in Qi Bai's imagination, it is already. It is a perfect work.

The breeze blew and gently swayed the lock of hair, Qi Bai couldn't help itching for a moment, so he gently picked up the lock of hair, only to feel that the touch was soft and cool, and it felt good.

Duan Yishu raised his head in astonishment, Qi Bai's eyes suddenly reflected on that beautiful face, probably because of the anger of being teased in this way, that face was once again blushed.

Qi Bai felt as if his heart was hit by a sledgehammer in an instant, he quickly withdrew his hand, coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and said in a rough voice: "Put your hair back, it's so messy, who are you trying to seduce?" ?"

Duan Yishu almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and gave Qi Bai a hard look, which reminded him that the man in front of him was a man.For a moment, I became even more angry from embarrassment, and shouted: "What are you looking at? Who made you look like a woman? You are so good at needlework, can you still blame me for misunderstanding? Say, shouldn't you Could it be a rabbit, right?"

Duan Yishu's eyes seemed to burst into flames, he threw the clothes in his hand on the table, and said coldly: "My lord, the clothes have been patched up, if you are not satisfied, just return it to the shop and have it redone, my lord." Man has done the best he can, and there is no other way.”

Without waiting for Qi Bai to make a sound after speaking, he walked out of the gate, straightened his back and walked away, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

"Yeah, I'm getting more and more courageous, and I dare to fight with this king." Qi Bai was furious, slapped the table and yelled a few times, and sat down resentfully when he saw that everyone had disappeared. , and said embarrassingly: "Hmph, it's not my fault, it's obviously your own fault, a big man with such a slender waist, such an upturned butt, and a body like a weak willow supporting the wind, can you blame this king for wanting to be crooked? "

After mumbling for a while, I still felt bored after all.He was not manly, and he didn't think about it elsewhere, he just felt that the molesting action just now was not right even for himself.Feeling a little depressed because of not knowing where to go, he shouted to the outside: "Qi Peng, get out, go, invite a few guys who are close to the master in the weekdays, and go to the Narcissus Building to drink flower wine together."

"My lord, I don't dare to do this slave. The last time I let the emperor know about it, I almost cut off my slave's head. If it wasn't for my lord's protection, I would have lost ten of my slave's lives right now."

Qi Peng had a bitter face, but was lightly kicked by Qi Bai on the leg, and he laughed and scolded: "Are you my elder brother's slave or this king's slave? Cut the fucking nonsense, if you tell you to go, you can go." , with this king protecting you, what are you afraid of?"

Qi Peng had no choice but to agree to go.So when the sun was setting, Qi Bai changed his clothes, rode a tall horse, and Shi Shi ran towards the Narcissus Tower.

The ladies sat down together, and the bustard knew that they were the most unoffensive young dignitaries in the capital, so she hurriedly organized the banquet, and called the most top-notch girls to accompany her, and she also laughed and talked with her for a while In other words, seeing Qi Bai waving his hand, she backed out gently.
