Qingzhou trip

The fact that Wu Zhao'an became Tuoba'an is a major event in Shahai today. The Wu family's blacksmith shop has closed the door, and the spittle has spread in the wine alley and flower alley.

Today, Zhao Yifang didn't wear men's clothing, instead she wore a short jacket with a wide collar and a long skirt with wide trousers like an ordinary woman in Shahai, and walked into the flower alley generously under the slightly shocked eyes of passers-by.

It's not that Li Mei never persuaded her to change into men's clothing, because Huaxiang was originally intended for men.

King Jin lowered his eyebrows coldly, "What's the matter? I'm not allowed to stay in Beijing, and I'm not allowed to come to this place called Huaxiang, where there are daughters talking about wine and piano?"

The Flower Alley at this time is not very lively, but Liu Qinsang put down the piano in his hand and went out to meet Miss Fang. 25 Sticks not only allowed Zhao Yifang to exchange Xie Penglai for two handwritten books, a few meals of cakes, wine and meat, but also the favor of this celebrity in Huaxiang.

The people in the hall were stunned when they saw this undisguised female guest, Zhao Yifang stopped under the couplet in front of the washhouse again this time, and read, "The scent of the orchid is still shallow, and the moon and the moon are still light when you see it." A lot." After her complexion sank, she frowned and looked at Li Mo, knowing it well.

After sending King Jin and Liu Qinsang through the door.Li Mei threw another five taels of silver to the predecessors, "My master despises this pair of couplets as vulgar, so I can help you change one." After finishing speaking, he nodded to the two brothers Ren Wuren Liu, and the two men were worthy of the couplet. Two heavy wooden couplets, one on the left and one on the right, were moved down, and then cut into several pieces with a knife.

No one in that hall had ever seen such a battle before, only cold sweat broke out from the palm of the hand holding the silver.

"Flower Alley is a place for listening to bombs and watching operas, why? Do you want to learn from those people in the capital who embroider and embroider mattresses? It's a good Flower Alley, but the place is dirty by this couplet." Li Mo turned to the people in front of the hall again Laughing, "Boss, I will support you. You can find someone to change the money for you."

"Then... who are you looking for?" The people in front of the hall were tongue-tied.

"Of course you're county magistrate Xie from Shahai." Li Mo brushed the dust off his sleeves, and then said to Ren Liu, "Burn it."

Zhao Yifang glanced outside with her hands behind her back, smiled and apologized to Liu Qinsang, "Sometimes the people below are a little blunt in their actions, did you disturb Miss Liu?"

Liu Qinsang just smiled and said softly after pouring a cup of tea for the guest, "It's very satisfying." After the two smiled at each other, they talked about the fiancé of the blacksmith shop of the Li family.

Zhao Yifang slowly figured out the relationship between the Li family and the Wu family in the blacksmith camp, and also knew that the person who is currently Tuoba'an is the brother of Wu Zhaoli who was not in the yamen last time when he made trouble with officials.The annulment of this marriage is bound to cause a shock in the Shahai Craftsman Camp.And it is not yet known how the Wu family will gain a foothold in Shahai in the future.

But the more she listened, Zhao Yifang became more and more looking forward to the writing that the Qipin county magistrate was about to hand over to the Sanzhou appeasement envoy.Why Yun Bailu fell into the hands of the Beixia people, and how to explain the reason without revealing troubles was her first evaluation after taking office.

Seeing that the guest's eyes seemed to wander, Liu Qinsang didn't bother.After a while, Zhao Yifang put away the smile on her lips and asked Liu Qinsang, "Why did you leave the capital and come to this lonely place like Shahai?"

Liu Qinsang plucked a pipa string with a smile, "Miss, what do you think my piano skills are in the capital?"

"I don't know how to play the piano, so I can only understand the meaning of the piano. The girl has something wrong with her chest, her fingers are unrestrained, and her voice is serious. I have been to the tiles in Beijing many times, but I have never heard anything like this." Zhao Yifang didn't mean it Liu Qinsang's eyes were moistened when he heard the words of flattery.

"Nowadays, in Beijing, it is no longer enough to rely on qin skills alone. Literati and poets like to invite wine and performers to accompany them, and they often want to be good at singing, qin, and dancing. In the past two years, they have to pay attention to footwork." Liu Qin Sang lifted up her skirt, Zhao Yifang was amazed by her slender feet.

"Those bad old men, send them to fight, all of them scurried away. When they return to the capital, they have to play with women, and they have to pay attention to what is fragrant, curvy, soft and thin." Zhao Yifang gritted her teeth for a long time before letting go, "Just I know how to stare at women's bound feet, but I don't look north at the lost land, and I don't feel sorry for the old coins. A nest of rat deer."

She has been indifferent to the decadence in Beijing since before Chengjue.After Cheng Jue, he was pushed to the three Northwest states by the Zhongshu Sheng and the Privy Council one after another to serve as this thankless appeasement envoy.If there is a war, if she loses, she will delay the country and delay the army.When she is undefeated and invincible, the Taige in Beijing can satirize her as a woman who is incompetent and betrays the country to seek peace.If he wins... After the battle at Yunfangjiang, no one in the court can use it, and no one thinks he will win.

Today's meal of wine, Zhao Yifang and Xie Penglai enjoyed a bit of the pleasure of precious books and jade swords.And then this pot of tea with Liu Qinsang, tasting the resentment and melancholy of being a degraded person in a foreign land.

After sitting for a while, Zhao Yifang said to Liu Qinsang, "If the previous guests still want to use those dirty tricks, you can go to the mansion to find me." She waved her sleeves and stood up, saying something that Liu Qinsang didn't quite understand, "Shahai is no better than Jingli."

Li Suyue didn't go back to the blacksmith's shop after entering Shahai City, she persuaded her younger sister Li Shancui and younger brother Yan Yunhan to follow to the county government.She was brought to the back office by Xie Penglai, and after drinking a pot of water, she still felt hot and hot. Regarding Xie Penglai's question of "what do you know", Li Suyue was still hesitating whether to tell the whole story.

Xie Penglai handed her a hot handkerchief, and when she was frightened all the way, he asked her to wipe off the dust on her face and take a breath before talking.

Putting the veil on her face, Li Suyue wiped her face after her chest heaved continuously due to the rapid breathing, "I killed the person over there, and the one named Yun took the limelight for me." Her stern eyes Guang hid his panic, "I, Li Suyue, don't want to lose her life. Thank you for your friendship. Please point me to the way. How can I save her?"

She had already thought about it on the way, and the silver she saved would be enough for Shancui to live on for several years.If she is willing, she will go back to Jiangnan, and if she is willing, she will forge iron with Yan Yunhan.Although the younger brother is taciturn, his character is reliable.After arranging the home, let it go all the way, Li Suyue went to exchange Beixia's Yunbailu back.

Although Xie Penglai still smelled of alcohol, she was startled by the successive incidents. She paced back and forth, "Why...why did you kill that Beixia man? Also, tell the truth, Yueniang, how many times have you killed someone?"

The handkerchief in her hand slipped to the ground, Li Suyue bent down to pick it up twice before twisting it up.She pursed her lips sadly, "I can't remember, I also participated in the battle of Shahai. And that person was killed by his people outside the Man Pass five years ago because my parents didn't want to sell weapons to him privately." Yes. I know, because I saw it with my own eyes."

Xie Penglai, who finally got the truth about Yueniang, told the female blacksmith again and again, "Don't tell anyone about this matter. Just think of yourself as a reporter, and Ah Lu will not be so stupid as to take the blame. Let me tell you, she has already Think about your way back."

Li Suyue was worried about something else, "She...looks like her old wounds haven't healed, will the people from Beixia be rude to her?"

Xie Penglai shook his head, "She is tough." Seeing Li Suyue's worried face, "My apprentice did stupid things when he was young, you don't have to forgive her. But she did the right thing to replace it.

"Yue Niang, it's not a matter of how many people have been killed, and they will even start a war for the people of Beixia at any time. The vain defenses of the three states... how can they withstand another military disaster?" Xie Penglai patted Yue. Mother's shoulders, "Go home with peace of mind. When others ask, only mention Wu Zhaoan's matter, don't talk about A Lu's plan."

"Then, how do you deal with it?"

"I'm going to Yanzhou to ask the appeasement envoy in person. The court has to deal with this matter." Xie Penglai sighed, "A Lu came back this time, and I couldn't think clearly. It's a big deal." Thinking about it, it might wait As an apprentice in the prison, she softened her heart, and decided to say something nice for A Lu, "She... was in a panic when she asked for a marriage back then, so don't hate her too much. She has suffered a lot in the past few years, and God will take care of her." her."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Suyue remembered the girl Yun Bailu standing proudly in front of the blacksmith's shop when she proposed marriage that day.

"Her father once wanted to marry her to the son of the privy envoy in Beijing. A Lu quit, saying that he had to find someone he liked." Xie Penglai smiled, "Why did she fall in love with you?"

The two lines of poems in her arms suddenly turned into boiling water, Li Suyue turned her face away uncomfortably, "I don't know."
