Changle Floating Life

Speaking of Four Seas Gambling House, it is one of the favorite leisure places for local hooligans in the capital.Those who go there often know that the shopkeeper Li Sihai has a righteous daughter who is regarded as a pearl.At a young age, serving tea and pouring water, pushing Pai Gow, paying thousands of dollars to collect debts and usury, he is proficient in everything and omnipotent.

However, this little girl who has been alive and kicking has been a little depressed recently.

Li Sihai saw that Lanshan was carrying tea into the counting room, so he wiped the beads on the abacus, closed the ledger, and took out a wooden box from the counter.He beckoned Lan Shan to come closer and opened the box, only to hear melodious western music ding ding dong dong.There is an exquisite dummy next to the box. After being lifted up, it will dance in circles in the mirror-like box.

"The music box from the West was brought by merchants along the Silk Road." Li Sihai held it in front of her as if offering a treasure.

If it was a year ago, the little girl would be so happy that she would jump up.But since she went to Jiangnan, nothing in the world can please her anymore.Xiao Lanshan glanced twice, thanked listlessly.Li Sihai sat down opposite her, and said with concern: "If you feel too tired from running around every day, I'll go and tell Lord Hou to resign for you..."

"That won't work!" Before he finished speaking, Lanshan interrupted: "The emperor just returned the house, and that prodigal Hou Ye can't tidy it up at all, and there is Wu Xiaocun who is like a weasel by his side. Just keep an eye on it!"

Li Sihai felt a sense of melancholy in his heart that "the girl is too big to be coaxed".I think she was only four or five years old when she first came to Sihai Casino, and she could obediently play for half a day with a porcelain bowl containing dice by herself.

Lanshan sighed sadly: "Master Su once said that the owner of the Qing Commercial Hall only needs to drink tea, listen to music, and gamble for fun. The former owner of the hall is a lie!" Since After Ye Jianqing Fujue moved back to the Marquis' Mansion, he asked Wu Xiaocun to buy some maidservants to help him.Wu Xiaocun entertained guests, and she was in charge of cleaning and relocating the inner mansion, doing everything by herself.

Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, Li Sihai was both amused and distressed, and couldn't help teasing her: "If Master Su is in front of you now and asks you if you want to go to Luofu Mountain, how would you answer her?" What about it?" He knew that Su Ying liked her to be the successor of the Xueshan sect in the past.When you go to Luofu Mountain, you can naturally let go of all these things and cut off all mortal entanglements.

Unexpectedly, Lanshan stuck out his tongue at him: "Shopkeeper, you will definitely not be able to marry a wife in this lifetime, I'd better stay here to take care of you until the end of your life."

"..." Li Sihai suddenly felt that he was being entertained.

The capital regards one hundred and five days after the winter solstice as the great cold food.From then on, for three days, they all went out of the city to go to the grave.

In the first half of the month, the imperial palace had arranged chariots and horses to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum, and the close relatives of the clan dispatched the mausoleums to do homage.King Duan went to Taizong's Jingling.Ye Jianqing went to the pagoda of Daxiangguo Temple to offer sacrifices to his grandmother.After he finished worshiping, he turned to Pei Zhaoye's biological mother's altar and kowtowed by the way.After getting up, he kept looking up at the altar.

The returning monk saw that he was lingering, so he came up to persuade him: "It's quite cold here, Lord Hou can go to the back room to rest for a while."

"Hmm." Ye Jianqing was thinking about other things, so he had nothing to say for a moment: "Master, has he ever met King Duan's biological mother?" The returned monk was stunned for a moment, seeing his strange question, he could only answer: " The monk has escaped into Buddhism since he was five years old and has never left the capital, so how could he have met the nobles of Yunzhou?"

Ye Jianqing continued to greet him as he walked out: "Master has been in the imperial capital all his life, but he is really used to seeing the changes." The returning monk sang the Buddha's name and smiled: "The monk's life is hard, and the Buddha will not accept it. It has been through Taizong, Zhongzong and the present three dynasties. Please come here, Lord Hou."

He can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties just like his grandmother.Ye Jianqing stopped suddenly, his eyes swept across the monk's white bearded face, showing a "disrespectful and disrespectful" expression.

On March [-]st, Qionglin Garden in Jinming Pool was opened outside the Shuntian Gate to practice the navy.On March [-]th, Yujia Xingchi went to the Linshui Palace to watch the competition and give a banquet.This is Pei Zhan's first time out of the palace since the winter solstice.Because of the lessons learned from last year, the defenders of the capital were on the verge of a big enemy, and repeatedly arranged plans one month in advance.Fortunately, in the first three days, everything from Jinmingchi to Shuntianmen was cleared.

The imperial guards are equipped with bows and arrows, dragons and phoenixes are embroidered with flags, thousands of horses are galloping, and the sound of duo shakes the ground.

There is a cool breeze on the pool, and two colorful boats are rowing across the water, and Baixi on the boat is performing "water puppets".Pei Zhan was sitting alone in the north facing water hall, facing the five main halls, and the prince, clan relatives, and ministers were all in the south.The sound of people in the south hall is full of voices, which makes the north hall even more desolate.Pei Zhan pointed to a place and asked Eunuch Gao: "Is that the Marquis of Anning? Tell him to come over."

The Hongqiao divides Jinming Pool into east and west halves, and the five water pavilions in the south are connected by corridors.There is a water pavilion in the middle, decorated with colorful curtains, clouds and water playing on the dragon screen, and people in the hall are burning incense and drinking tea.

Where the orchestral sound is intermittent, Ning Wang is intoxicated and Fu Wang wakes up.

Seeing that his younger brother was squinting at the side hall, Pei Shouye hit Fu Wang on the shoulder with a folding fan: "What are you looking at, it's almost squinting." Ye Jianqing was invited to sit in the main hall.

He is dressed in a brocade robe with a jade belt and looks handsome, and behind him are two flustered maids.Ye Jianqing sat down beside King Ning, only to hear His Royal Highness ask curiously: "Is this a servant of the Hou's mansion? What's his name?"

These two girls were bought by Wu Xiaocun a few days ago, and they haven't been trained much, so they put the ducks on the shelves today, and came to the feast with their master.It's a pity that wearing a dragon robe doesn't look like a prince, full of village spirit.Ye Jianqing didn't know their names when he came, so he answered casually, "Clear clouds, warm snow."

Fu Wang was stunned.There may be clouds on a sunny day, but how can wind and snow be warm?He wanted to open his mouth to tease, but suddenly remembered the "full moon and flat wind", dare the young master's stupidity not disappear?

King Ning didn't care about the surnames of his two maids, but deliberately set his words: "How is the repair of the young master's house? This is going to live in the capital. I have a hot spring villa, which is in Xishan Underfoot, why don't you come and play with your fourth brother someday."

Ye Jianqing shrugged and said, "Last month, I went to the Holy Palace, Your Majesty told me not to return to Jinling in a hurry. Now I am penniless, my money is exhausted, and I am ashamed to return to my hometown. I can't go back even if I want to."

Fu Wang was amused by his words that "the money is exhausted, and the shame is returned to the hometown".King Ning's eyelids twitched, what does it mean for Anning Hou to open a mansion in the capital, and after the Winter Solstice, Ye Jianqing seems to be different from before.A year ago, he couldn't even swear, and he could only say "yingying bluebottles" politely in front of the prince, but now he can laugh at himself calmly.

At this moment, Eunuch Gao, who was next to the emperor, came over to send a message, asking Marquis An Ning to go to the North Hall.

As soon as Eunuch Gao appeared in the Five Great Halls, he caught everyone's attention.After Ye Jianqing left, King Fu winked at the Third Highness.Pei Shouye knew that he was still young and didn't know the depth of this, and he was upset, so he had no choice but to stop looking at him.

Ye Jianqing walked across the Hongqiao.After the water show was over, the water puppet boats retreated in two parts, and several tiger-headed boats set out from the Okuya (dock) with drums and gongs to the sky.After the small boat, several large dragon boats went into the pool, all of which were carved with gold ornaments.On the leading boat stood a general in scarlet clothes, waving flags to attract attention, it was Duan Wang Pei Zhaoye who was in charge of this drill.

Biliu grain is fine, green poplar silk is soft.The dragon boat passes under the Hongqiao, and everyone dances flags on the dragon head, and the left and right paddles are like flying.Pei Zhaoye kept his eyes straight and concentrated on directing.He straightened his back like a pole, and walked past the bridge without distraction.

The flying fish boat is behind the dragon boat, like two formations.When the fleet arrived in front of the emperor's imperial court in the North Hall, Pei Zhaoye waved the flag, first forming a circle, which is called "spiral", and then divided into two, called "sea eyes", and raised them with flags, which is called "crossing heads" .

When Eunuch Gao saw Ye Jianqing looking dumbfounded on the bridge, he couldn't help urging him.The two walked to Linshui Hall one after the other, but Pei Zhan was receiving the envoy.The person who came was Chen Daqian, the sheriff of Huaqing. After his term of office expired, he returned to Beijing to report on his duties.Of course Chen Daqian did not come empty-handed.Huaqing produces green feathers, and the canopies used by the royal ceremonial guards are all presented here. "Chen Qing has worked hard, Huaqing and the officials have contributed a lot." Pei Zhan's expression was still good.

"The Son of Heaven makes feathers, birds and beasts present their own feathers." Chen Daqian only caressed.This time, whether he is a flat transfer or returns to Beijing for a higher promotion, it will be a battle of his own.

Ye Jianqing couldn't help but hummed beside him.Pei Zhan heard it, looked back at him, and said lightly: "This is the Marquis of An Ning. This is Mr. Chen from Huaqing. There are no rules and no distance, why are you laughing?"

After meeting Ye Jianqing and Chen Daqian, he said with a smile to Pei Zhan: "I know the great deeds of Mr. Chen. I heard that your fairy spirit nourishes people, and birds and beasts become spirits." Pei Zhan was stunned, frowned and said: "You don't talk about strange power and confusion. What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Jianqing said: "I heard that there is a Wucheng Township in Huaqing. There are trees over a hundred feet long and there are crane nests on it. People who want to get crane cloaks can't get them, so they cut them down. Its root. Fearing that the villagers would kill his son, the Crane Immortal pulled out his cloak and threw it on the ground, which was considered auspicious by people at that time."

The royal family loves emerald feathers, and the ruthless officials snatch all animals, land and water, and there are almost no hairy ones. ——Goose has plucked its hair, no matter how you listen, why is it not a thing.

Chen Daqian's face turned pale immediately, and he shivered on the ground.Pei Zhan glanced at him and sighed, "Chen Qing, go."

"The longer you grow, the more virtuous you are with your grandmother. There is no room for sand in your eyes." After Ye Jianqing was seated, he scolded, "When you were young, you loved to act like a baby. You were soft and waxy. Wanrou often hugged you. Ken let it go, and said that if he wins the princess, he must recruit you as a son-in-law."

That princess is too worthless, and her life is really hard. ——Ye Jianqing thought expressionlessly, and set his eyes on the dragon boat on the water.Today, he also roughly understands Pei Zhan's attitude towards Princess Zhenguo's mansion, which is a kind of strange feeling mixed with all kinds of worries, which is both hate and pity, favor and defense.

Wu Xiaocun once asked him, do you know how the King of Troubles won the Winter Solstice?He replied that the Eastern Dynasty was too stupid, and King Duan used obedience to fight rebellion, just like Tang Woxue.Wu Xiaocun shook his head and said: "The reason for King Duan's victory is because His Majesty is behind him to support him."If His Majesty didn't order him to mobilize the troops of Tianxuan and Tianshu, why would he kill Luo Chenshui and cleanse the "Silver Sword Guard"?If you and the crown prince fight each other to the death in the city, you will end up dying together in the end.

Pei Zhan is a person who cannot be avoided in the success of King Duan. He must build a bridge between His Majesty and King Duan...

In previous years, the Jinmingchi fleet was trained by the regiment trainer Gu Tingrang. Because Mr. Gu asked for leave to visit relatives and has not returned yet, the training seemed a bit rushed.When it came to the end, someone on the tiger head boat couldn't stand it and fell into the Jinming Pond.

"I can't eat hot porridge in a hurry." Pei Zhan commented.Eunuch Gao saw that his expression was unkind, fearing that he would be angry with King Duan, he hurriedly interrupted: "Your Majesty won't use any pastries anymore? The young master will also try some."

As if thinking of something, Pei Zhan turned his head to Ye Jianqing and said, "You loved sweet soup when you were young, bring him a bowl." Ye Jianqing bit the bullet and drank the sweet and greasy thing, almost gagging.Pei Zhan's loving eyes swept over him: "You will be twenty in autumn, and I will hold a coronation ceremony for you then. Why were you so dazed on the Hongqiao just now?"

Ye Jianqing wiped the corners of his mouth, bowed his head and said, "I see that Your Highness is majestic and majestic, with the demeanor of His Majesty back then."

This flattery was flattering, which made Pei Zhan quite comfortable.Recalling that many years ago, he also stood in Pei Zhaoye's position, wearing a golden armor, carrying a silver knife, commanding with determination, and his arrogance soared into the eternal sky.At that time, the late Emperor, Empress Xuanyi, Princess Zhenguo, and Marquis Anning who sat in the Linshui Palace by the pool all clapped their hands and praised.

Wanrou also saw herself for the first time at that time.On the night of the wedding, she said: I fell in love with you at first sight, the way you stared at Jiangshan.

Pei Zhan's eye sockets were sore, and he stood up like a cover-up, with a dying look on his face: "Go back to the palace..."

Before Jin Mingchi's performance ended, Yu Jia had already returned to Ouchi.As soon as the emperor left, the road ban was lifted.As a result, there are tens of thousands of people selling groceries, spectators, tourists, young men and women.

Ye Jianqing sent the two maids and the sedan horse back to the Hou Mansion, and walked on the road by himself.

Three or five tattooed vicious teenagers ran into a snack stall and knocked over the stall owner's pastries and tea.The stall owner was a sad-looking man who grabbed a wicked young man by the bridle and wanted to argue, but was whipped instead.Those wicked youngsters walked away like no one else, and people on the road gave way one after another.

Ye Jianqing hurried forward to help the stall owner gather the things on the ground, and set up the bench and stall.The man couldn't stop thanking him, and Ye Jianqing asked him, "Is the boss still in business?" The man glanced up and down, and took out a pot of unbroken Lihuabai, several plates of candied lotus root, green group, and crystal skin , Frustrated: "That's all. Do you want to eat noodles, I'll give you a bowl."

The man took out a piece of dough and began to boil water and knead the dough.Ye Jianqing sat in front of the stall and poured himself a glass of wine.There is a lady from a noble family, passing by the roadside in a sedan chair with flowers arranged, and sees a young man with a weak crown under a willow tree, dressed in green and long sleeves, with a graceful back and a graceful figure, just like a fairy.

This "false fairy" drank Lihuabai and asked in a low voice: "Did you find out?"

The man who was kneading the dough glanced vigilantly at the road, and said in a low voice: "This man was indeed a monk at the age of five from a Buddhist temple in the capital, and he has no bad deeds. It's just that Lord Hou has heard of the lewd monk case during Zhaoren's reign?"

Ye Jianqing naturally shook her head not knowing.

In his later years, Pei Xu favored a non-monk and non-Taoist named Chang Ning. This person's brother was the abbot of the Sakyamuni Temple in the capital.Because of this reason, the incense of Sakyamuni Temple is very strong, which is not worse than that of Daxiangguo Temple.In the 25th year of Emperor Taizong Zhaoren, Pei Yongzhen, the princess of Zhenguo, went to Sakyamuni Temple to offer incense, and accidentally discovered that the host was hiding and humiliating women.In a fit of rage, Princess Zhen Guo beheaded the host on the spot and set fire to the Sakyamuni Temple, killing more than 100 monks in the sea of ​​flames.

Ye Jianqing was startled, he didn't believe that the princess had done such a big murder for no reason, and asked after a long time: "Grandma is so angry, there must be other reasons."

"Princess Zhen Guo came to the temple to offer incense to Qing Jun, and Emperor Taizong enshrined Qing Jun's spiritual tablet in Sakyamuni Temple."

This incident even alarmed Donggong.Hearing this, Prince Pei Siyuan urgently ordered Jingzhao Yin to put out the fire, and obtained tens of thousands of military weapons and belongings sent by the shepherds and wealthy people of the prefectures and counties. .After the Sakyamuni Temple fire, the Taoist named Changning was also beheaded for his crimes.

Ye Jianqing also understood a little when he heard this: "This monk is over 50 years old. Could it be that Changning's descendant? No wonder he is called a returning monk."

After the man had finished speaking, the noodles were just boiling in hot water, so he scooped them up with a strainer.But Ye Jianqing took out a few strings of copper coins from his sleeve, and said, "Don't eat. Just keep an eye on Xiangguo Temple for me."

Ye Jianqing went back to Anninghou's mansion at night, and saw the "Zituiyan" made of wicker hanging on the eaves of his house, it was white and fat and very cute, so he played with it in his hand.The little girl timidly said: "Miss Lan waited for a long time, but Master Hou didn't come back. Miss Lan asked her to hang up."

He went to Wu Xiao's storage room, and the guy was fiddling with calculations and counting the accounts again.Ye Jianqing stood in the yard for a while, feeling that Li Huabai was a little hot, or that the warm wind was blowing her away, so she consciously went back to the house to take a shower and change clothes.

He just closed the door of the bedroom when he saw the candles turned on automatically, and a man in white was sitting on the bed, and said coldly, "Why don't you even have a table and chairs in your room."

It was Gu Jiaozhu who was thinking about it day and night.

Ye Jianqing's hair was wet and wet, his mouth was dry for a moment, and he said stupidly: "What are you doing in my bed?"

Gu Su stood up from the bed, walked over step by step, stared at him and said, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard outside, and Wu Xiaocun's voice came from far and near: "Young Lord, have you come back? Why are you unable to enter in front of my old Wu's house? I have a good thing Let me tell you, Pine Wind Pavilion has recently become popular..."

Ye Jianqing's face changed color, but before he could stop him, the bitch had already pushed open the door with a bang, and drove straight in: "I made 1000 taels by selling ten books..." Wu Xiaocun looked up Seeing the two people in the room, he was stunned for a moment, the ledger in his hand was unsteady and fell to the ground, and a book of erotic pictures in the ledger fell directly at Gu Su's feet.

"Your Majesty has guests, old Wu is being abrupt." Wu Xiaocun was excited enough to see that these two people had a clear beginning and end, and this person was able to enter the curtain at midnight.He was shameless enough, stooped down and picked up the book in a serious manner. He wanted to reach for the erotic book, but Gu Su suddenly coughed and stepped on the book with his foot.

Wu Xiaocun couldn't care less about picking up the treasures, so he ran away immediately.

Ye Jianqing only wished that there was no crack in the ground that he could slip into.

Gu Su picked up the book and flipped through it casually. The man and the man hugged each other in all kinds of gestures, which opened their eyes.He glanced at Ye Jianqing faintly, and said, "You've been studying this for the past few months since I left? Hold out your hand and let me see."

He was so powerful that Ye Jianqing stretched out his right hand involuntarily.Gu Su pointed all the way up from Neiguan, Quze and Tianquan acupoints with his finger. When he was approaching Tianchi acupoint, Ye Jianqing swayed and dodged past.

Even Gu Su was furious: "Why are you hiding, you know..."

Tianchi point is near the fourth rib of the chest, one inch outside the breast.Ye Jianqing blushed, gritted her teeth and said, "I know, I'm poisoned."

The author has something to say:
