Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-One

"This girl looks extraordinary, can you tell me her date of birth?" the Taoist asked politely, obviously just now she seemed calm as water. I looked at Feibai puzzled, his eyes were also full of doubts, and he cast his eyes on Yuan Qingjiang, Yuan Qingjiang smiled: "This girl's name is Hua Mujin, and her concubine Jinxiu is a twin sister, and her birth date should be the same .” "What?" Daoist Qiu yelled loudly, bluffing everyone present. Then he circled around me a few times, as if he was playing tricks, or watching?Body statue exhibition, in short, I am getting more and more hairy, and finally I can't stand Feibai anymore, regardless of whether he is the former VIP of Qingjiang, so I stepped forward to block his sight, and said coldly: "Where is the Daoist?" What do you see?"

Daoist Qiu finally withdrew his gaze, nodded to me, then bowed to me respectfully and left with a smile, regardless of how Feibai and I stared at him. Everyone looked at me in unison, puzzled, shocked, thoughtful, and gloomy, but I was so frightened that I couldn't figure out what this Taoist priest wanted to do? Later, Feibai told me that this Daoist Qiu was the host of Qingxu Temple, a well-known master of Taoism in the world. The object, Dou Yinghua, heard his name, and brought his family members to Qingxu to watch the incense. By the way, he asked him to divination for the Dou family's fortune within ten years. Threatened by force, I don't think Taoist Qiu was very stiff, so he said coldly "rebellious ministers and thieves". Dou Yinghua was furious, sealed up Qingxu Temple, imprisoned all Taoist priests, and used demons to confuse the world. Qiu Daochang was charged with burning at the stake, but fortunately he was rescued by Yuan Qingjiang, and since then he has become a very special guest of Yuan's family.

I was exhausted, and I just wanted to go back to Xifengyuan to see Feijue, but the original Qingjiang unexpectedly invited me to go to the theater with enthusiasm, so I had to follow Feibai and his party back to Mengyuan. In the dream garden, fragrant powder came rushing towards your face, colorful silk skirts, pearls and precious hairpins, complementing each other, a piece of yingying and swallows said softly: "Wanfu, my lord", a dozen wives and concubines from Qingjiang covered their fragrance Fan, revealing a pair of bright eyes, whispering to me beside Feibai. Immediately the gong started on the stage. I stood uneasy, but Feibai insisted on pulling me to sit beside him. Zhuzhu respectfully prepared a jade cup for me, but didn’t look at me. I remembered the terrible experience of Rongbaotang. I shivered in my heart.

"Hungry!" Fei Bai's elegant voice sounded in my ears, and I raised my head. Half an hour ago, he was still in the Laurel Garden with my sister, but now he seemed to be fine, and I suddenly felt that Scared, but Feibai smiled and added a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to me: "Eat more, Hibiscus, the only thing I can see in this purple garden is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake." I guess laughing is uglier than crying. Bite your scalp, huh? !It's really good, Yuan Feibai saw that my face calmed down, and smiled and picked another piece for me. Yuan Qingjiang returned to the chief, the cold Mrs. Yuan sat on the left, and the right was empty. Below was Yuan Feiyan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, and she was also beautifully dressed. On the opposite side, Song Minglei, sitting on the head of Song Minglei is the mesmerized Xuanyuan Benxu, who is shaking his head and listening to the opera, and from time to time talks to a young man who I have never seen before. , Jinyi jade belt, skin white as snow, eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Yuan Feiyan, and the romance between talking and laughing looks like Yuan Qingjiang. Presumably, it should be the current Fuma Zhongxian Wang Yuanfeiqing, but I don’t know why he didn’t attend at the same time as the princess. He saw me and the princess. Sitting together in the original non-white, the originally warm eyes flashed a gleam, and Song Minglei was surprised when he saw me, but immediately gave me a gentle smile, which miraculously calmed my heart.

After a while, Jinxiu and Chuhua appeared. She changed into a lavender huaisu gauze, and repainted her gorgeous face, making it even more exquisite. She walked up to Lord Hou and gave her a charming blessing. After saying something, she sat down in the empty seat on the right side of Lord Hou. However, her smile was forced and her walk was a little slow. When Jinxiu saw me, she pretended to be pleasantly surprised, and whispered to Yuan Qingjiang. Jinxiu's smile froze slightly, and immediately returned to normal, beaming with joy. Mrs. Yuan's complexion was extremely ugly. Just as I was wondering, the pearl had already He brought a carved box to me: "My third master, this is a birthday present from Miss Jin to Miss Mu."

I thanked Pearl and left with a cold face. I slowly opened the box, and a bright red heart knot mixed with gold silk lay quietly on the black velvet. Lost in focus, the two of us looked up at Jinxiu at the same time, but she was covering Sijuan with Yuan Feiyan and whispering to each other. I was in so much pain that I couldn't hear the drama on the stage. At this moment, Song Minglei got up to go to the toilet, and glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally. I immediately understood in my heart, and said the same thing as Feibai, and got up and left the table. . Just after I left the Chuihua Gate, I didn't see Song Minglei, but I was greeted by a tall figure, it turned out to be the young man Fengding from last night, he leaned towards me and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has orders, girl, please follow Fengding."

His attitude towards me was extremely respectful, but his eyes were cold and contemptuous, and his tone was even more undeniable. I quietly looked around, but found no trace of Song Minglei. "Is the girl looking for Song Huwei or Bai Sanye? There is no need, they are both 'busy' now, even if they are free, you still have to go with me." Feng Ding looked at me with a tone of tone Ridiculous, I groaned inwardly, forced myself to smile calmly and said: "Then ask the young master to lead the way." Feng Ding smiled at me, turned around and left, I followed behind him, and after turning around, we came to an elegant small garden.

I looked at the inscription: "Meixiang Xiaozhu", and my heart moved. I remembered that Xie Sanniang had accidentally mentioned to me before that Mrs. Xie's boudoir name was Meixiang, and she liked plum blossoms very much, so Feibai was in Xifeng. Yuan opened a plum garden in memory of Mrs. Xie.It is often heard that the original Qingjiang did not dote on Mrs. Xie, so why did this so-called Meixiang Xiaozhu appear again? I was thinking about it, Fengding turned around, opened the door lightly, bowed to me and said, "Please, Miss Mu." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stepped into the main hall. The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. In the middle of the room, an extraordinary man in purple clothes and boa robes was seriously admiring a painting. A picture of a lotus and a duck, said Ai Lian, who is beside me with my flower hibiscus.

I was in a daze when Yuan Qingjiang turned around and smiled at me: "The hibiscus is here." I received a blessing, feeling uneasy in my heart, and lowered my eyes docilely: "I don't know what is the purpose of waiting for the servant to come here?" orders?" "Ai Lian said you wrote this song?" Yuan Qingjiang asked. "Yes, it is the poor work of the little girl." Yuan Qingjiang nodded, sat down on the first seat, pointed to the chair and said with a smile: "Mujin's body is not well yet, so don't stand up, sit down and talk."

I didn't dare to sit, but he waved his hand and stood up personally: "We are all a family, don't be polite to me." I thought to myself that I am far away from a family, but I still hurriedly sat down Next: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for sitting down." Only then did he return to his seat with satisfaction, at this time Feng Ding came to serve tea, and then stood behind Yuan Qing Jiang.Yuan Qingjiang took a sip of tea: "Mu Jin's literary talent is so high, let alone Guangqian, I'm afraid he can't even match Feibai's poetry!" I was naturally terrified: "Master Hou praised it a lot, Mu Jin just felt it at the time, but I came across a song by chance, how dare I compare it with Song Erge and Bai Sanye."

"Mujin is too modest. Yesterday I was inspecting Feijue's homework in Yubeizhai. I saw two volumes of Huaxi poems. The poems in them were exquisite and unforgettable. What's more interesting is that these two volumes were full of pinholes. Later, After asking Mr. Guo, I found out that Hibiscus gave it to Feijue..." My heart skipped a beat, here I come, here I come, the topic is about to come out.I plucked up the courage to look at Yuan Qingjiang, and sure enough his gentle eyes faded away, and his sharpness suddenly appeared, as if it was about to penetrate into my heart: "Does Mujin know how Taoist Qiu criticized you?" I was sweating profusely, trying to stay calm: "I don't know about Hibiscus, please tell me clearly." It's over, don't let the old Taoist say that I am a monster who is a disaster for the country, a prostitute, a sex demon, etc. After all, my reputation is not very good, and Yuan Qingjiang saw me peeping at Yuan Feijue yesterday, and he came to me today for execution Family law? The original Qingjiang's gentle smile remained unchanged: "But Daoist Qiu's criticisms are all inaccurate, and he just said to me, Congratulations to the Marquis, your wife is like a noble person, but this young lady is beyond words , the bloody phoenix falls to the nine heavens, and the mother of the country in troubled times will bring peace to the world.” I looked at the original Qingjiang, as if being struck by thunder from the nine heavens, and stood there in a daze. I never thought that the old man with the nose would say such a thing. In my shock, Yuan Qingjiang suddenly recited a poem, "Ten years of life and death are boundless, I don't think about it, I can't forget it. There is nowhere to talk about desolation in a lonely grave thousands of miles away. Even if we meet each other, we should not know each other. My face is covered with dust and my temples are like frost. The night comes Youmeng suddenly returns home, Xiaoxuan window, is dressing up. There is no words for each other, only tears a thousand lines. It is expected to be heartbroken every year, bright moon night, short Matsuoka." "" Isn't this Jiang Chengzi of Su Shi in Huaxi Poems? I saw Yuan Qingjiang's face appeared in a trance. After a while, he came back to his senses, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. Mu Jin has a wide range of knowledge, and there are countless interesting stories in her belly, so let me tell Mu Jin a story today!" what!Know this too?Is there anything else you don't know?I searched my mind for possible leakers. But Yuan Qingjiang started his story: "Once upon a time, there was a proud son of a noble family who was arrogant and conceited, but one day, when he was offering incense at Famen Temple, he met a lady who was as beautiful as a flower, and he was immediately tempted. He secretly wrote down the surname of the young lady on the official sedan chair, which turned out to be the daughter of the Qin family, so he begged his father to ask for a marriage. Coincidentally, the Qin family also happened to have a political marriage with a son of this family, so he got it as he wished. When he arrived at the young lady, when he went to the Qin Mansion to meet the bride, he was surprised to find that his sweetheart was not shyly sitting in the sedan chair with a red hijab, but standing beside the sedan chair. The biggest mistake in his life is that his sweetheart is just the daughter of Lianfu's daughter, not the young lady." "That night he took off the red hijab in a daze. To his surprise, his wife was also beautiful, not inferior to his sweetheart. So, what more can I ask for?" "However, he gradually discovered that his wife is a very jealous woman, relying on her powerful natal family, being arrogant and willful on weekdays, speaking rudely to her in-laws and her husband, and not letting her husband touch any women at all, Even when he took a sneak peek at his sweetheart, she would lose her temper for a long time. He wrote many love poems on the silk handkerchief and secretly slipped them to his sweetheart. Unfortunately, his sweetheart always foolishly told him that her silk handkerchief was enough. It's too much, don't send any more, it turns out that his sweetheart can't read!" Yuan Qingjiang smiled dumbly, his thoughts seemed to return to a long time ago, pure happiness and gentleness appeared in his eyes, but his tone suddenly changed. "So he secretly taught his sweetheart how to read and write, and spent more time with each other, but he accidentally discovered that the sweetheart had already fallen in love with other men, so the child of this family finally took her sweetheart in a fit of rage... he Will never forget the pain in her eyes." Sure enough, all the men in the original family have crazy possessive factors. I couldn't help shaking my hand holding the tea, and shouted in my heart, don't talk anymore, don't tell me the secrets of your family, although I'm already short-lived enough. Anyway, I still want to live to be thirty years old. If you go on, I might not even see the sun tomorrow. But Yuan Qingjiang continued to talk there: "After Min Yi died of dystocia, I successfully helped Mei Xiang upright. For this reason, I became enemies with my old father-in-law's family. Even my old father was killed by the Qin family, but I Still no regrets, in order to deal with my father-in-law, I had to linger in brothels, restaurants, and contact anti-Qin forces all day long. When I finally defeated Ming Huizhong, the biggest supporter of Qin Xiangye, I happily returned to Meixiang Xiao Zhu, I want to reunite with Mei Xiang, but unfortunately, the plum blossoms have all died..." "Mei Xiang is the most virtuous and beautiful of all my wives and concubines, but also the most unfortunate. Everyone, including Fei Bai, thinks that I don't dote on Mei Xiang, but they don't know how much I like her. They just don't want her to burn her bones. Even so, it cannot protect her well...Even our children cannot be spared from harm..." Yuan Qingjiang was depressed for a while, and I was like being in an ice cellar for a while, and roasting on charcoal fire for a while. The secret that even Feibai didn't know, Yuan Qingjiang told me without reservation, what he wanted to do, he suddenly raised his head and looked at me. He smiled and said, "Tell me, Hibiscus, what would you do if you were this Marquis?" I forcefully made a sound: "If I were Lord Hou, I would definitely try my best to make up for Mr. Bai..." Yuan Qingjiang nodded: "Last night, I saw a woman who subdued the famous rogue Qi brothers in the Central Plains with a few words. I was curious, so I followed her, wanting to see which room she was from Mu Liao, and I didn't want her to visit Yuyu at night." Beizhai, when he heard that Feijue wanted to take the Xuanyuan clan, he was so heartbroken that he almost vomited blood and died." "At that time, I thought to myself, Feijue is very capable, can endure what others can't bear, and has practiced the no-tears scripture, and can make such a talented woman fall in love with her so much, so I have a decision in my heart, even if it is not Jue doesn't like this woman, or if he can't take her as his wife, I will try my best to let this infatuated woman follow him for the rest of his life, and fulfill her wish. However, I never imagined that this infatuated woman It turned out to be the hibiscus flower, the hibiscus flower mentioned in both Feibai and Jinxiu's letters." "Feibai was only ten years old when her mother passed away, but she had a very similar personality to me, stubborn and independent. He hated me in his heart, so naturally he never asked me to do anything again, but this time he asked me to allow him in the letter. To marry you, and Jinxiu wants me to promise you to Feibai, so," Yuan Qingjiang said firmly: "Anyone in this world can follow Feijue, but you, Hua Mujin, cannot." I couldn't help feeling bitter for a while, and couldn't hold back anymore and said: "Don't give to others what you don't want, since Lord Hou knew how painful it was for her to break up Mrs. Xie and her lover back then, why do you still want to love each other like this?" force?" "It's just because of Feibai." Yuan Qingjiang looked me in the eyes and said, "Since you are his personal maid, you should know how majestic and brilliant he is." People can't ignore it, but what does it have to do with me? Just listen to Yuan Qingjiang continue to say: "Only he is my real son, and the only one who can inherit the original family's great business is Feibai. Now, since you are destined to be precious, you can only belong to Feibai One person must never marry another hero. Although Feibai has the heart to pursue a great cause, he will not go north to the Turkic land. Although Feijue is an idiot now, his nature will recover in the future. Compared with Feibai, he will definitely be stronger You are a hundred times stronger, with your talent, if you follow Feijue and want to annex the Central Plains, it will be really easy, and when the Feibai army is defeated and killed, the Central Plains will also be trampled by the iron hooves of Dalu." Feng Ding looked at Yuan Qingjiang admiringly. The latter calmed down his excitement slightly, and said to me with a smile, "I can see that Feibai can't do without you." Just as I was about to explain, Yuan Qingjiang called Fengding, who was holding a red mud lacquer tray with a small porcelain bottle on it: "I am a person who has been here, so I naturally understand that your heart is always a little wobbly. However, Ben I can't believe that you have no feelings for Feibai at all, otherwise, you wouldn't be helping him perform this good show today." My hand trembled, the teacup fell to the ground, and it shattered into pieces. Feng Ding curled his mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and Yuan Qingjiang's carefree voice sounded: "Mujin, how about this, let me help you, completely Cut off your thoughts about Feijue." Yuan Qingjiang smiled calmly: "This bottle is filled with my original family's unique secret medicine, called life and life inseparable, it is for the Yuan family's favorite, but it is also the most disobedient person, take it With this medicine, if you have intercourse with any man, the man will be completely useless in martial arts, or die suddenly in a moment, and the woman will not be able to bear children, unless the man has an antidote, and this antidote, so far, all my children Among them, I only let Feibai take it when she was very young, and as for the antidote for that woman, only I have it." Yuan Qingjiang's smile was like the eyes of a poisonous snake, and my body couldn't stop shaking: " You help Feibai to gain hegemony. A hundred years ago, I would naturally pass the woman’s antidote to Feibai. As long as Feibai is willing, he can let you go free, even if you want to serve Feibai together with the two of Jinxiu. A small matter." He smiled so kindly, like a loving father giving earnest advice, and he didn't feel that what he said was cruel: "If you don't want to take it, you can let Jinxiu take another pill, which will make her feel sick. If you stay in a daze for the rest of your life, it doesn't matter if you are white or not, what you get is just a crazy beauty, Mu Jin is a smart person and understands that I don't want to do anything to Jin Xiu, so everything depends on your decision."
