Chapter 15 Section five

Biyuexuan. Seeing that the sisters were suddenly in a mess, Chu Yun'er asked the girl strangely, "What happened?" "Returning to the girl, a Khitan man came outside and said he was some kind of emissary. He was rude and ugly. The girl didn't want to accompany him and was trying to escape." The girl said without concern for herself.She knew that with Chu Yun'er's status, the bustard would definitely not let her accompany the Khitan people, so she was not worried. Chu Yun'er has been in Beijing for a long time, so she knows that the Khitan people are the most unpopular when envoys from various countries come to Beijing, but the government has always treated them favorably, they are used to domineering, and often become even more rampant.In order to avoid trouble, she quickly put down the curtain, stopped playing the piano, and only quietly checked the manuscript of the piano.

She took out the manuscript from Shi Yue from the bottom of the box, blushed and sighed softly: since Sang Chongguo was imprisoned, she rarely saw Shi Yue.She could only hear some news about Shi Yue from the guests.Shi Yue is very famous, and there are eight pieces of news about him a day if not ten, but it's just that one doesn't know which one is true and which one is false.She also thought of the little girl from the Sang family she saw at Daxiangguo Temple last time—she was such a naive and lovely girl. It's not hard to see that girl's affection for Shi Yue, and the two of them seem to be a good match... She couldn't help but think of those rumors about Shi Yue, including the little sister of the Sang family. It is the teacher who taught Shi Yue calligraphy, and she wrote the red tracing book for Shi Yue's handwriting... and thinking that Shi Yue has been living in Sang Mansion since he came to Bianjing, so he must have been very close to this girl. Shi Yue is such a gentle gentleman. , I don't know how to cherish such a lovely girl!Thinking of this, Chu Yun'er couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, she felt an extra feeling of envy or jealousy towards that girl.

Jing Er, who was thinking wildly and secretly sad, suddenly heard the sound of quarreling outside.She frowned, walked quietly to the door, opened a corner of the curtain, looked out, and saw a Khitan man who looked like a black bear and a group of attendants yelling at a young man with a machete at his waist.She was unhappy, and was about to go to the backyard, but she heard the girl whisper, "That young man, I heard that he is from Baishuitan College..." Chu Yuner's heart moved, he hesitated, and finally looked out again. That young man is Duan Zijie.The Khitan people are Yelu Jingui.

Yelu Jingui didn't care about the country and the people. Although he was horrified for a while, after all, there had been seventy years of peace between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and the vigilance of both sides had already declined. Since the officials of the Song Dynasty were still very polite, he was happy to enjoy it.What's more, since you have come to the colorful world of the Central Plains, if you can't enjoy it, is it a waste of time?Of course, wherever the prosperity is, where the girls are beautiful.The officials in charge of escorting in the Song Dynasty also turned their eyes and closed their eyes. They just accompanied the envoy Xiao Youdan and did not dare to dereliction of duty, but they did not care about them.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Biyuexuan, the girls here seemed to have seen a plague god, and the one or two who came out to drink with him seemed to eat a fly with reluctance. Yelu Jingui was used to being pampered in Liao Kingdom, so he was naturally unhappy .After drinking a few glasses of wine, he began to curse: "Han people...are...not...good things. Shiyue...not good things...not even this Goulan...not good things, take this...these girls Come to fool me, thinking that I have no money, don’t you? I, I have plenty of money!” He took out an ingot of gold from his pocket and threw it on the table.

Duan Zijie happened to be invited by some classmates to Biyuexuan to listen to the music, because the students went to bridal chambers with the girls they were close to, he had no intention of saying this, so he listened to the music while drinking dull wine.Seeing Yelu Jingui and others coming in, he paid more attention in his heart, but he didn't know that Yelu Jingui spoke rudely and insulted Shi Yue, he suddenly became angry for no reason, swallowed his wine glass, and said loudly: "The most bad things in the world are those Liao dogs. " His voice was so loud that when Yelu Jingui heard it, his face immediately changed, he stood up abruptly, and cursed: "Song Zhu, how dare you scold your grandfather?"

Duan Zijie put his hand on the handle of the knife, stood up too, and said coldly, "Grandpa is scolding you, Liao dog." The two looked at each other angrily, but the madam was frightened. She hurriedly ran in front of them and bowed again and again: "You two officials, you two officials, you have something to say, something to say." Yelu Jingui and Duan Zijie ignored her, Yelu Jingui stared and shouted: "Song Zhu, do you dare to fight with your grandfather?" "Grandpa just wanted to play Liaogou." Yelu Jingui's face turned even darker, he suddenly roared, and rushed towards Duan Zijie with his fists.The two immediately huddled together.Yelu Jingui was tall and powerful, while Duan Zijie was nimble and flexible, with various moves.

Yelu Jingui's servants saw that their master couldn't please him, so he shouted, drew their weapons, and surrounded him. Duan Zijie made a false move and jumped out of the battle circle. With a flash of cold light, he also pulled out his knife. Pointing the blade at Yelu Jingui, he sneered and said, "Liaogou, do you want to win by relying on more? Come on." Yelu Jingui gave a piss, and said: "Song Zhu, the son of a turtle, likes to rely on more to win." He took a big simple knife and shouted: "You stand aside and watch Grandpa teach Song Zhu a lesson."

The two face each other fiercely, and they will have a showdown.Suddenly, someone yelled something in Khitan dialect, and Yelu Jingui stepped aside, and a man in Khitan clothes walked in.Duan Zijie couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this person's gentle and amiable demeanor, except for a gleam of determination and courage in his eyes.Looking behind him, there was a Song official closely following him. The person who came was Xiao Youdan, the envoy of Khitan.He originally wanted to learn more information from the gossip of Bianjing citizens under the pretense of going out for fun, when he happened to pass Biyuexuan, he saw the carriage of Yelu Jingui and his party parked outside, and heard the sound of fighting inside, so he knew It must be Yelu Jingui who caused the trouble——Xiao Youdan didn't want more trouble, so he hurried in to stop it.

Xiao Youdan walked up to the two of them, cast a contemptuous glance at Yelu Jingui, and cursed secretly: "You idiot who doesn't know the overall situation." Seeing that Yelu Jingui was still holding the knife, he immediately shouted: "Put the knife away!" The Song Dynasty official also ordered Duan Zijie to put away his weapons. Yelu Jingui glared at Xiao Youdan, seeing Xiao Youdan's aloof eyes, he felt a little bit dissatisfied, but after all he understood that he was in a foreign country and he was his subordinate, so he angrily threw the knife to his servant and walked away angrily Go back and sit down.

Duan Zijie also reluctantly put away his weapons. Xiao Youdan glared at Yelu Jingui, and asked in Khitan dialect: "What's going on here?" Then a follower replied: "Lord Yelu didn't provoke him, it was Song Zhu who first did it." How could Xiao Youdan believe it? He sneered and said, "You just tell the whole story, I have a reason." That person didn't dare to hide anything, so he said everything.After Xiao Youdan heard it, his face sank, and he asked again: "You said Lord Yelu scolded Shi Yue?" The man nodded, and wanted to say something, Xiao Youdan waved his hand, motioning him not to speak.He walked up to Duan Zijie, gave him a fist, and said, "Young Master, please. My partner is reckless by nature. I have offended you so much. I hope you will forgive me." He spoke Chinese very fluently. Duan Zijie saw him chatting with those Khitan people for a long time, and those people respected him, so they knew that he had a high status.Seeing how polite he is at this moment, he couldn't help but startled, cupped his fists and replied: "If he can be like you, he won't be this far." Xiao Youdan laughed, and asked: "I see that the young master is extraordinary, dare to ask Gao's name?" Xiao Youdan was so polite about the so-called "a good man doesn't make a smiley face". Even though he is a Khitan, Duan Zijie was embarrassed to lose his manners, and quickly replied: "No, in the next paragraph, Zijie is a student of Mingli College of Baishuitan College." But it was the habit of people at that time, often telling what they were doing now. A sneer flashed imperceptibly in Xiao Youdan's eyes, and he said to himself: "Sure enough, he is from Baishuitan College." But he said with a smile: "So he is a student of Baishuitan College. I have long admired the reputation of Baishuitan in the Southern Dynasties since I was in Daliao. It is a great honor to meet the students who are studying in it today.” Duan Zijie saw that Khitan people also knew the reputation of Baishuitan College, and he felt a little proud in his heart. I also heard Xiao Youdan say: "If Mr. Duan doesn't dislike me as a barbarian, how about I be the host and have a glass of water and wine together? I also want to take this opportunity to learn about the customs of China and listen to you about the grand event of Baishuitan." His sincerity made it impossible to refuse.Duan Zijie was straightforward, and immediately said: "I never thought that there are people like you in the Liao Kingdom, and I still have to ask for your name." Yelu Jingui heard that Xiao Youdan was so polite to Duan Zijie in the other room, he was so angry, he stood up and was about to explode, but when he got up, he heard Xiao Youdan say in Khitan dialect: "Lord Yelu is going back, Haosheng sends him back to the post house, if something happens, I will ask you when I come back!" Yelu Jingui was about to go crazy, he turned around and grabbed a wine glass, smashed it into pieces, and walked outside without looking back. Xiao Youdan ignored it, and only smiled at Duan Zijie: "Master Duan made a joke. This kind of rough person will only spoil people's interest. Xiao Youdan is also a scholar in Daliao." Then he said to the old bustard: " You clean it up and ask a few girls to play the piano, and I will compensate for the loss." When Duan Zijie saw that he was so reasonable, his goodwill suddenly arose spontaneously, and his hostility gradually decreased.He smiled and said, "I just wonder if I can hear Miss Chu Yun'er's elegant performance? Brother Xiao came from the bitter cold north, if he can listen to such a piece, he will definitely never forget it." Xiao Youdan raised his eyebrows and smiled inwardly. It must be known that at that time the number one piano player in the world was Xiao Guanyin, the empress of the Liao Kingdom. She was the biological mother of the crown prince Yelujun. I've been lucky enough to hear it once or twice.Duan Zijie has a prejudice against the Khitan people, thinking that the Khitan people are barbarians, but how could he know that the Khitan nobles are deeply Sinicized.Xiao Youdan didn't explain anything, he just smiled and said, "If so, we must meet again." Duan Zijie said with a smile: "Miss Chu can see you whenever you want. Do you think it's our head of Shishan?" . When Xiao Youdan heard that Shi Yue was involved, he paid more attention secretly, took out a piece of silver and put it in the hands of the bustard, and said with a smile: "Please also say a few words in front of Miss Chu, I just want to listen to the fairy music of the beauties in the Central Plains, there is nothing wrong with it." he thinks." Where has the bustard seen such a Khitan man?Copper coins were commonly used at that time, and silver was quite expensive. This ingot of silver was expensive, and it was surprising that it was sold so generously.She glanced at the accompanying Song Dynasty official, saw him nodding slightly, quickly took the money, and turned to find Chu Yun'er. Yelu Jingui returned to the post house, holding his breath, and Xiao Youdan didn't come back until it was completely dark.He was about to explain clearly to Xiao Youdan, but he was stopped outside the room, but Xiao Youdan's relatives who went to "play" elsewhere walked into the room and talked with Xiao Youdan for more than an hour.It wasn't until everyone had finished speaking that Xiao Youdan ordered someone to let him in. As soon as Yelu Jingui entered the room, he said angrily: "Your surname is Xiao, don't bully people too much! Just because of Shi Yue, are you afraid that Song Zhu will be like this? Drive me back, and you will call Song Zhu a brother and drink flowers by yourself." liquor!" With one hand behind his back and a book in the other, Xiao Youdan sat under the lamp without even looking at him, and said lightly: "I am the envoy, so you have to obey me. If you dare to resist the order, I can first I will kill you. If you have any dissatisfaction, just go back and impeach me." Yelu Jingui said bitterly: "I don't need to remind you, after returning to China, I will naturally impeach you for humiliating the country!" Xiao Youdan sneered, and said: "You are welcome. But tomorrow you have to accompany me to Shiyue's mansion to make an apology to him. I have already prepared the gift." Yelu Jingui stared and said angrily: "Don't even think about it! I won't apologize to Song Zhu! You are as cowardly as a mouse, it's your fault." Xiao Youdan said coldly: "If you don't go, I will follow you. I don't see you preparing a carriage to go to Shifu with me early tomorrow morning, so I will kill you first for the crime of disobedience." Yelu Jingui's face was ashen, he hummed heavily, turned around and left angrily. Xiao Youdan looked at his back, sneered with disdain, and read aloud: "Faith and righteousness are practiced by gentlemen, but punishment is imposed on villains..."
