Except for stealing

Shen Yiqing is very quiet these days, pushing the invitations of a lot of cronies, and recuperating obediently at home.

After more than half a month, he was almost fine, and his heart was itching again.

The night was bright and clear, and he took Liqu to go out with great interest. He met his second sister when he arrived at the gate of the mansion. He stopped immediately, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Did that Lu Jinshuang bully my sister? See if I won't go." Break his leg."

The second sister and a few maidservants on the side laughed at his fierce appearance, the second sister took his arm, straightened his sleeves carefully, and said gently: "No, I'll give it to my mother." Some things, I'll be gone in a while."

Shen Yiqing hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and he dragged her to talk for a while, until the maid beside A Niang came to urge him to say goodbye to her.

He was in a good mood today, and he was still humming an out-of-tune tune when he was walking towards Mingyue Tower. This is a restaurant, and it is also a gathering place for rich men in Chang'an City.

Shen Yiqing was playing with the folding fan in his hand, and stepped into the gate in a dawdly manner. As soon as he entered, someone stood by the railing on the second floor and said with a smile: "Look who is this?"

Another person joked: "Shen Yiqing spends a lot of money."

A group of young masters looked over and laughed together, and the girl accompanying them also covered their lips and laughed.

Shen Yiqing didn't care, she walked up slowly and picked an empty seat to sit down, and immediately a girl poured wine for him.

Shen Yiqing looked at the girl with her cheeks propped up. She was not very old, thirteen or fourteen at most, but it was not difficult to see that she was a beauty.

The folding fan in his hand gently raised the girl's chin, Shen Yiqing narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "The girl looks unfamiliar, is she new here?"

The girl smiled shyly, and replied in a soft voice: "My lord, Jin Xing came here half a month ago."

Seeing his appearance, the young man at the side put his arm on his shoulder and said, "What's the matter? Want to buy another one?"

Shen Yiqing took back the folding fan, slapped his hands off, and leaned back in the seat without sitting, saying: "I'm not interested."

He glanced at the people at the table, then looked around the lobby, raised his eyebrows and said, "Pei Yan hasn't come yet?"

"How can Mr. Pei have time to hang out with us now?" The person beside him laughed and said, "I'm busy."

Shen Yiqing was taken aback, and looked at the speaker in puzzlement.

The man's eyes were bigger than his, and he said in surprise: "What? Yiqing doesn't know?"

Shen Yiqing really didn't know what happened outside while he was recuperating at home.

He was not interested in the discussion during the meeting, and he only thought about the sentence he just heard over and over in his mind - it has been half a month since Pei Yan entered Dali Temple.

Pei Yan became an official.

Those friends who always hang out with each other, either have a family with shade, and they can eat, drink and have fun all their lives, or they have a family, and they will pave a way to find a job, which is enough for a lifetime of food and clothing.

But these people did not enter Dali Temple. First, to enter Dali Temple, they must be proficient in laws and regulations and have high judgment ability. Second, the selection and appointment of Dali Temple officials is very strict, and they do not have that ability.

Pei Yan never told him about this, even though he thought his friendship with him was so good.

He took such good things from Pei Yan, hid from him for half a month, and wondered why he didn't come to look for him at home, it turned out that he had a good future.

Shen Yiqing didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and drank with the people at the banquet, and the girl poured wine for him, serving him very appropriately and gently.

The wine tonight is not intoxicating, Shen Yiqing drank cup by cup, but his mind was always awake.When the game was over, he supported the table to get up, took two steps, his steps were weak, and accidentally tripped over the table leg, Li Qu rushed forward to help, but someone helped Shen Yiqing before him.

It's that girl.

She looked at Shen Yiqing shyly and timidly with her beautiful eyes, her voice was soft and melodious, and she breathed like blue: "Young master is drunk, let's rest in the building today."

Liqu gave a "bah" in his heart, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to step forward to tear her away, but Shen Yiqing secretly made a gesture of calm down.

Shen Yiqing stared at her for a while, his slightly reddened eyes twitched slightly, his drunken eyes seemed to contain affection, he leaned over to the girl, with an ambiguous tone: "Tonight..."

"Yi Qing."

Suddenly someone called him, he turned his eyes to look at the door, and heard someone beside him laughing: "Brother Pei is free to come over, but unfortunately our wine has finished."

Pei Yan walked in and said with a smile, "I just poured it out."

The beautiful eyes of the girl next to her seemed to be filled with sparkling water in the bright candlelight in the room, clear and seductive, Shen Yiqing ignored the excitement over there, looked down at her, curled her lips, and lowered her eyes. Said: "Young master will come to see you some other day."

Pei Yan walked to his side and heard these words.

He looked at the two people who were too close, his eyes darkened, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he called, "Yiqing."

Shen Yiqing avoided the girl's hand indiscriminately, looked him up and down, opened his fan and shook it casually, and said: "Brother Pei's clothes are really beautiful, congratulations."

Pei Yan: "..."

Pei Yan hadn't had time to change his clothes yet, he was still wearing an official uniform, a black suit with a knife on his waist, he was already good-looking, with a straight back, and he looked like a young man in white clothes, restraining his dandyish appearance, When wearing black, it adds a heroic spirit and is even more eye-catching.

Liqu and Fengbai looked at each other, and they both sensed that there was something wrong between them.

Just at this time, someone drunkenly shouted at the door: "Yiqing, you and I are going the same way, do you want to go together?"

Shen Yiqing nodded to Pei Yan, said nothing more, brushed shoulders with him and walked towards the door without looking at him more.

It was really late for them to drink, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

Shen Yiqing talked and laughed with others all the way, and when they reached a corner, the two parted, and Shen Yiqing swayed home with the fence.

The two of them tried to hurry up, and the small road they walked was pitch-black, only the lantern in Li Qu's hand was lit.

Shen Yiqing looked down at the dangling lantern, thinking about some miscellaneous things aimlessly in his head, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt, a stone hit his foot, he stopped suddenly, and kicked the poor stone hard go out.

There was a crisp sound of the stones hitting all the way, and in the quiet night, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

"How do you take out your anger with a stone?" The voice was full of laughter and teasing, which he was all too familiar with.

He turned around and looked at the man in a black suit a few steps away, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Dazed for a moment, he smiled politely and said: "Brother Pei, what can I do?"

Pei Yan: "..."

Pei Yan took two steps forward, his eyes fell on Shen Yiqing's face, he looked at it carefully for a while, and then he thought about it and said, "I want to ask you to explain."

Shen Yiqing twitched the corners of her lips: "Your Excellency, you don't have to explain to me, a useless dandy, it's getting late, and Young Master Yi is here to accompany you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left regardless of Pei Yan's expression.

But as soon as he took two steps, someone grabbed his arm. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but the force was so strong that his arm hurt. Before he could react, he was pushed to the side wall.

Pei Yan restrained his hands with a firm force, but his tone was very low, as if he had apologized to him every time since he was a child, coaxing him: "Yiqing, listen to me."

Liqu and Fengbai would never step forward when they quarreled, there is no lantern to illuminate, and there is no moonlight tonight, both of them can only see the outline of each other clearly.

Shen Yiqing struggled hard, and said displeasedly: "Let me go."

Pei Yan was uneasy, even if he wanted to explain, he didn't know how to speak, Shen Yiqing's current attitude clearly wanted to alienate him.

He was afraid that Shen Yiqing would run away, so he moved closer, and pressed Shen Yiqing firmly against the wall with his body.

There was a strong smell of alcohol in his nose, and the man was breathing heavily, he must have drunk a lot tonight.

Pei Yan was uncommonly impatient: "I grew up with you, and because of this you have to alienate me, do you really care that much?"

Shen Yi Qingjiu was full of energy, and the anger in his heart was not going well, but when he was aroused by his tone, he immediately became angry.

He kicked hard at Pei Yan's leg, Pei Yan let out a muffled snort, loosened his hands slightly, and Shen Yiqing immediately pulled his hand out.

Without saying a word, he pushed Pei Yan away and was about to leave. Pei Yan was extremely uneasy, fearing that the two of them would really be alienated after he left. He quickly caught up, grabbed Shen Yiqing's hand, and pulled him away return.

The alley was extremely quiet for a while, Liqu watched the two of them stand motionless for a long time, elbowed Fengbai, stared straight ahead, and squeezed out a mosquito-sized mosquito from between his teeth. The voice said: "Why don't you talk?"

Fengbai took a big step to the right, folded his arms with a cold face, and ignored him.

Shen Yiqing didn't dare to move, her face was burning like fire, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

He stared wide-eyed at the person whose lips were pressed against him, and after his eyes adapted to the darkness, he could see some outlines clearly, and he knew that Pei Yan was also looking at him.

Just now Pei Yan's pull on him was a bit heavy, he was so angry that he turned around and wanted to kick him, but when he turned around, Pei Yan was right in front of him, and their mouths were just like that.

After posting it, both of them were stupefied, they just stood there in the dark night, they didn't make any noise, and they didn't even need to breathe.

The palm of Shen Yiqing's hand held by Pei Yan was sweating, and the fingertips were also a little numb.He had never kissed anyone before, and he thought it was really weird.

Pei Yan was also very strange, he seemed to be breathing in a disordered way, he was sticking like a log, and he stopped tossing.

The wind of April passed through the streets and alleys, lifting his hair, his chest was oppressed, he took a half step back after realizing it, and took a few breaths, and then he regained the breath he had just held back.

Pei Yan was short of breath, but she just gasped and did not speak.

There seemed to be Pei Yan's temperature on her lips, a little scorching, Shen Yiqing was at a loss, she didn't know whether she should continue arguing with him or what to say.

He blushed and struggled for a moment, then whispered: "Then...then I'll go home first."

"Ah..." Pei Yan stumbled as if waking up from a dream, "Oh, good... Be careful on the road."

The Earl's Mansion is only a few steps away after turning a corner, and I don't know what to watch out for.

Shen Yiqing turned around, took two steps slowly, and then hurriedly disappeared around the corner with her head lowered.

Liqu yawned halfway, and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Master, wait for me!"

Feng Bai came over, looked at the young master who was in a daze, and said with a solemn expression: "Young master, are you bewitched?"

Pei Yan slowly raised his hand, and put his fingertips on his lips.

There is still a faint smell of wine, the numbness and trembling in the chest have not yet eased, and the heart is still beating chaotically.

Feng Bai yelled again, and Pei Yan only realized it later, and whispered: "Just now he...he didn't annoy me."

Fengbai didn't understand, followed him to look at the alley, "pooh" in his heart, and cursed silently: "Small."

The "petty" Shen Yiqing fell on the bed after returning to the house, staring at the void without blinking.

Li Qu fetched water for him, but he didn't respond to his calls several times. He stood by the bed and looked at him for a while, seeing that he looked lost, he said angrily: "Is that Pei Er bullying young master? Li Qu Qu is going to seek an explanation for the young master!"

He took two steps, but Shen Yiqing remained silent.

He hesitated for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Young master, are you not stopping me?"

Shen Yiqing still didn't say anything.

Liqu took another two steps forward, and raised his voice, "Liqu is really gone!"

As he said that, he secretly looked at the person on the bed from the corner of his eye, but fortunately, the young master finally responded.

Shen Yiqing said: "Don't go, come here."

Liqu laughed immediately, ran over in small steps, and called, "Master."

Shen Yiqing stared blankly at the void, and said in a leisurely voice, "Liqu, have you ever kissed someone?"

Li Qu: "?"

Li Qu twisted a bit, twisted his left hand shyly and twisted his right hand, and said evasively, "Young Master, why do you ask this?"

Shen Yiqing didn't seem to want to hear his answer, and suddenly turned over and sat up, staring at Liqu with burning eyes, and said, "I know you haven't."

Li Qu: "..."

Li Qu pinched his waist, a little proud: "Young master has never kissed anyone before, Li Qu can..."

Shen Yiqing stared straight at Liqu's mouth, wondering what she was thinking.

Li Qu watched the young master's expression, hesitating whether to continue, so he heard the young master say: "Come here, let the young master kiss for a while."

Li Qu: "..."

Li Qu swallowed, and took half a step back calmly, Shen Yiqing stood up, with strange eyes, half a step forward, Li Qu ran away.

That night, everyone in the Earl's Mansion of Jibei didn't sleep well, and many people pushed the door out to watch the fun. Uncle Jibei was wearing his clothes, and while lifting his shoes, he poked his head out, and saw the fence running past like a gust of wind. Uncle Jibei He hurriedly shouted: "Liqu, what's going on?"

Li Qu was about to cry, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, he was already a hundred steps away in the blink of an eye, and a roar came from afar: "Young master is crazy!"

Uncle Jibei was shocked, and hurriedly lifted up his shoes. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Shen Yiqing running over panting. He stretched out his hand to stop him, but Shen Yiqing bent down and slipped under his arm, saying, "Go to sleep quickly." .”

He smelled of alcohol, obviously not crazy, but drinking crazy, so Jibei Bo'an closed the door and went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Liqu was held down by Shen Yiqing behind the rockery in the back garden. He wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only cover his mouth tightly to keep his chastity.

Shen Yiqing was furious and scolded: "Damn it, just kiss me, will it kill you?"

Li Qu squatted on the ground aggrieved, let go of his hand a little, but didn't dare to take it off, so he tried so hard to retort: ​​"Young master, if you want to find someone to kiss, you can't find a man."

Shen Yiqing supported her waist to breathe slowly, raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said in a strange tone: "Why can't you find a man?"

Li Qu blushed: "I just can't!"

Shen Yiqing didn't say a word, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and the surroundings became so quiet.

Li Qu stood up, looked at Shen Yiqing cautiously, and said earnestly: "Young Master is old, it's normal to think about such things."

The light on the corridor came through faintly, half of Shen Yiqing's body was in the light and shadow, and half of his body was hidden in the dark place, Li Qu couldn't see his face clearly, seeing that he was still silent, and worried about his chastity, his eyeballs rolled, With a twitch of his brain, he came up with a bad idea: "Young master, if you really want to know what it's like, you might as well go to the brothel."

Shen Yiqing finally had a reaction this time, he raised his head to look at Liqu, his tone was slow, hesitatingly said: "The brothel?"

Liqu Chick nodded as if pecking at rice: "Yeah."

Shen Yiqing frowned and struggled for a while, then turned and walked back: "I have to think about it."

Li Qu Xuxu wiped his sweat, covered his mouth, almost tearing up, and said silently: "Caixia, I have worked so hard for you."

Here, the Jibei Earl's Mansion was lively for half the night, but the Guangping Marquis' Mansion was very quiet.

The second son returned to the room after the master's questioning, and after a while, he turned off the lights and took a rest. When the eldest son came to deliver the calligraphy to his younger brother, he saw that the room was dark and the person was already asleep. When he went back to report, the eldest son sighed : "Dali Temple is busy with business, the appointment is a day's work, tired, cook him some good food tomorrow."

The "tired" Pei Yan was lying on the bed, hugging the quilt, staring blankly at the dark night, and pursing his lips lightly. If there was a light at this time, it would not be difficult to see that the tip of his ear was red, and he talked for a long time all night. Not long, not short, he just didn't close his eyes all night.

Dali Temple was busy with things, and the cases reported by various state government offices piled up into mountains, and everyone in Dali Temple was so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

It just subsided in the past few days, and it was heard that a wanted criminal had escaped into Chang'an.

The wanted criminal was a flower picker, who harmed many girls from good families, was chased by various officials along the way, and disappeared after entering Chang'an.

Pei Yan led people to search for three days, and finally found some clues.

It was already night, and the Hehuan Building was brightly lit. In front of the door, prostitutes dressed in thin clothes were smiling to welcome customers. When young princes passed by, they rushed to pull them, and when sixty-year-old old men passed by, they also made jokes.

Fragrant wind wafts out from the building, and the scent of powder is mixed with the inexplicable and indecent aroma. When you look in, the bright red silk is gently swaying with the wind, and the beauties inside are looming, like aphrodisiacs.

Jia Er followed Pei Yan to hide on the eaves, and he happened to be able to see the gate of Hehuan Building. He had been lying here for a long time, but he didn't see the flower picker appearing. Said: "What happy event has your lord recently had?"

Pei Yan didn't take his eyes off the gate, and said, "Where do you start with this?"

Jia Er laughed, and said: "My lord, the corners of his mouth haven't come down these two days, anyone with long eyes can see it."

Pei Yan hooked his lips, and said a little shyly, "It's a happy event."

Jia Er: "I caught this flower picking, let's find a place to drink, and tell us about it along the way."

The two people on the side also echoed, and said with a smile: "My lord treats you."

Pei Yan: "Not today."

Today, he finally has free time, so he is going to find Shen Yiqing.

Jia Er was playing with a small stone in his hand, squinting at him: "My lord obviously doesn't want to treat guests."

"Just put it on my account if you want to eat," Pei Yan said generously, "Next time, I will definitely drink to my heart's content."

Jia Er laughed "hehe" and said, "We can rest assured that our lord has said this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly said "Huh", stretched his neck forward slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that Mr. Wang?"

Pei Yan had seen it long ago, the stern and unsmiling Lord Shangshu was wearing humble ordinary clothes, and was surrounded by a group of women into the gate of the brothel.

This is really a model of sanctimoniousness, and he still remembers that when this adult came to the house as a guest, he used the posture of an elder to mock him for not being aggressive.It is indeed very eye-opening to come to this kind of place. This is the third official from the DPRK and China tonight.

He didn't want to go on, suddenly his eyes sharpened, and he said in a low voice: "He's here!"
