Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Annoyed Numan Sister Goes into the Tea House to Love the Geisha Mingzhu and Goes to the Prison

While Emperor Kangxi was having wine and chatting with everyone, Aunt Su Ma sent Zhang Wanqiang to ask Xiao Maozi to come in for questioning. Not long after the farce in the imperial tea room was over, Xiao Maozi was shocked and afraid, happy and angry. When Nemo left angrily, all the people who watched the excitement dispersed. He checked the tea sets and utensils and saw the The Jun porcelain tureen was still in the tea set cabinet, but it was stacked with other tea sets somehow.It can be seen that Aunt Su Ma saw the gaiwan.But why didn't she expose it face to face?La Aunt Su Ma is a famous person whom the emperor and the empress dowager said were indistinguishable, why would she protect me? He reviewed the situation at that time carefully and concluded that La Aunt Su Ma and Namo were not in the same group.Before the search, she arrested Ah San first. After the search, if she yelled again, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?Xiao Maozi took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced.

Aunt Su Ma was waiting in the East Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.As soon as the little boy came back here, his eyes felt that everything was golden and shining, and a few tall and thick candles were burning with high flames in the cover. In the middle, Lagu Su Ma was sitting and eating. Tea.Xiao Maozi hurriedly slapped Qian'er and said: "The little one is guilty, the big sister is blessed, please forgive me this time!" He didn't get up after speaking, and knelt down with the other leg. Aunt Su Ma didn't seem to pay much attention, and asked slowly while drinking tea, "It's easy to forgive you, but you have to tell the truth. What's the use of stealing that bowl?"

"I think..." he grumbled pretendingly, looked up, and suddenly said with a smile, "I think that bowl is really pretty, and I want to take it and have a look, and then send it back secretly, but who would have thought that they would give it away?" I acted as a thief. Thanks to the protection of the big sister, otherwise I would have bought the little one to look good!" Aunt Su Ma didn't expect that this little devil would dare to lie and shamelessly come here, and even dragged herself into it. Feeling funny and annoyed, she sneered and said: "You are too smart, look at my good nature, and you can't fix it." You brat?"

Xiao Maozi rolled his eyes in a circle, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Su, even if you have the courage, Xiao Maozi will not dare to bully you! I really want to see it and send it back. They If you insist on stealing, how can I admit to being a thief..." Aunt Su Ma called out without waiting for him to finish, "Zhang Wanqiang, take him to the respect room to find Lao Zhao. I'm too lazy to listen to his nonsense!" "Oh, don't, don't tell me the truth..." Xiao Maozi panicked now, and hurriedly kowtowed, "It's the little one who is extremely poor and helpless. He took this bowl and wanted to go out and change some money to pay off the debt..." He raised his head Seeing that Aunt Su Ma's face didn't seem to believe his words, she hurriedly continued, "...my little mother is a blind woman. She doesn't even have money for medicine. I owe my brother to marry a sister-in-law with a cruel heart. I don't care about my family at all. People are poor and short-sighted, and horses are thin and long-haired, so the slave has no choice but to do this kind of dirty work." As he spoke, he felt a dull pain, his eye circles turned red, and he wiped his tears with his sleeves , "Big Sister Su refused to forgive me, I also admit it, who told us that our lives are cheap, I only have pity on my mother..." At this point, he choked up and didn't go on talking.

Aunt Su Ma is a person who believes in Buddhism and loves kindness. Hearing what he said was terrified, she couldn't feel moved.After thinking for a while, he changed his smiling face again: "Hmph, little devil, this is a one-off thing, honestly, it's over if you tell me the truth! If you have a problem, why don't you go to Xiao Weizi, he won't help you?" Xiao Maozi said with a sad face, "Master Wei has helped me a lot, but he has spoken too many times, and I feel embarrassed." Aunt Su Ma took out a silver coin from the desk drawer and threw it to Xiao Maozi, "Take it!" It's because you are still a dutiful son.Let me tell you, the money I rewarded is for your mother's medical treatment, and to buy some food. Isn't this better than being a thief?It sounds like you are a good material for gambling, don't use it to gamble and lose! "

Xiao Maozi never expected such a result, he was stunned.Holding the money, he was just in a daze, then suddenly kowtowed on the ground, and said in a sobbing voice: "My dear big sister, you are the slave's great benefactor. The little one's gambling is real, it's out of helplessness, your boss Think about it, what is the use of such a small amount of two and a half months of money every month? I had to rely on my cleverness to gamble, thinking how much I could win others so as to supplement the family. However, if a horse stumbles, even the original It's in. Since the elder sister loves me so much, she has a conscience. If you speak, will I dare to do it again?"

Aunt Su Ma La sympathized with others and herself, and sighed: "It's no wonder you, it's not easy to be a human being. I don't raise your monthly rate either. If you have difficulties, just come to me to get them. I will fulfill your filial piety." Little Maozi A blessing in disguise, overjoyed, kowtowed and said: "You treat me like this, what are you trying to do to me? From now on, I will call you auntie!" La Aunt Su Ma had nothing to answer, she just smiled as a promise.Zhang Wanqiang saw that this monkey cub was so good at climbing poles, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You are so lucky, I didn't lure you here, you can get this lottery! What can I thank you for?" : "Hey, Eunuch Zhang, I have nothing to honor you, and besides you don't care for money, I will kowtow to you to thank you!" Lagu Su Ma and Zhang Wanqiang both laughed.

Xiao Maozi resigned and walked to the hanging flower gate at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Seeing Kangxi coming in in casual clothes, he hurriedly stood by the road with his hands down and his head bowed.But Kangxi didn't know him, so he waved his hand and went into the East Pavilion to look for Aunt Su Ma.Then Xiao Maozi went back to the teahouse warehouse to dispose of the tureen.Aunt Su Ma had already left her seat and bowed to meet her. As soon as Kangxi stepped into the door, he said with a smile: "Today, I missed you and left you in the palace, making you miss a small group of heroes meeting!"

Aunt Su Ma apologized and said with a smile: "Which kind of god am I, can I compete with the master?" Kangxi triumphantly told about the drinking at Wei Dongting's just now. Aunt Su Ma pondered: "I don't know what's going on in their minds?" "They all expressed their loyalty?" Kangxi said excitedly, "I didn't expect them to be so united. It's just that I want to ask them to do something, but I can't explain it in person. Let's try to let Suo'etu and the others make a fuss. Tell you, Another person named Liu Hua also went tonight, it's Goshha from the Bie Mansion, and it's just a post, I don't know much about it. It seems that Xiao Weizi is really hardworking in his errands."

Seeing that Kangxi was happy, Aunt Su Ma smiled and said: "Long Live Lord went out to drink tonight, but I didn't know there was news in the palace! I also missed Long Live Lord!" Kangxi smiled and asked, "What's new that makes you so happy?" "The eunuch Xiaomaozi in the tea room—the one that Long Live God came in and bumped into just now—has dealt a serious blow to the big guard of Namo." Aunt Su Ma smiled and gestured, telling the story of the royal tea storehouse. Er told Kangxi.Kangxi laughed so hard. "Okay, those who have been victimized by turtles should take better care of them. It's good for you, you have concealed the stolen goods for others, and become an aunt again!" The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Aunt Su Ma served Kangxi to rest.

Kangxi wanted to search for talents and prepare for action, so he was not idle there. No, one-eyed Liu Jinbiao was ordered by Bumbleshan to watch the Pearl in Jiaxing Building for more than a month.When He Guizhu was kidnapped, he met Wei Dongting in Weizi Alley, and one of his eyes was gouged out by a stubborn donkey.From then on, he led his servants to walk on the street every day, hoping to find He Guizhu or Mingzhu, no matter which one he caught, he would speak out first.But these two people disappeared like ghosts.Wei Dongting is quite common, but he is a close minister of the emperor, he enters the palace as a third-class prawn, and when he leaves the palace, he sits on a high horse. Liu Jinbiao watches helplessly but cannot make provocations for no reason.Besides, my own martial arts are inferior to his, so if you really try to use your hands, you will definitely suffer a loss.This cuteness cannot be sold. It was a coincidence that a few days ago, I had a drink at the old Huang's house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I heard that although Jiaxing Tower never received guests, Cuigu there had recently made friends with a pretty boy. She also said that someone had met him in front of the emperor in the palace. He fell in love with this little boy.Bumbleshan once told him that no matter if it was Wu Ciyou, Mingzhu, Mu Zixu, etc., as long as he could quietly capture one, it would be considered a meritorious service, so he personally went to watch near the Jiaxing Building, but unexpectedly, more than a month passed. Jing didn't even see the shadow. Shenpai was about to pass, seeing the golden crow falling to the west, the Huoshaoyun had been dyed red for a long time, and not a single fish entered the net, he was very depressed.Cursing secretly: "I don't know if what Lao Huang said is true, or he was drinking and talking nonsense, which made the old man sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit!" Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the pearl really came after shaking three times.Afraid that his eyes might be dazzled, he wiped it off and took a closer look. The person who came was wearing a black lake silk gown, with a fair complexion, and a long glossy black braid stretching back from his head. "A man should be pretty, with a suit of soap", it's true, it's really elegant and melancholy, it's the pearl that can't be wrong!Liu Jinbiao secretly said "Yes"!After staring at Mingzhu entering the door and climbing the stairs, he waved his hand and told Congren to go back and move troops. As soon as Mingzhu went upstairs, through the window, she heard someone talking in the room.When you listen carefully, it sounds like the sound of Hu Gongshan being enshrined in a Taiyuan hospital. "Cui Gu, do you know that Gu Huafeng, You Hui'an, and Chen Qinian are impatient with the loneliness in the mountains and forests, so they have come to Beijing for a trip!" After a while of silence in the room, I heard Cui Gu say: "One imperial decree descends to the nine heavens, and Yi Qi descends to Shouyang Mountain together! If you want to go down the mountain, just go down, why bother to drag others?" "Hey! When you talk, you twist your energy. I didn't say I'm going down the mountain, but I'm going up the mountain!" Mingzhu couldn't help being stunned when she heard this.He didn't know what these nonsensical words meant, and he felt very important.Hearing that Cui Gu and Hu are so close, I feel a little jealous.But then he thought: "What's the matter with me? Although I bought property for her, there is no one to buy her. If I can come, so will the surname Hu!" At this time, Cui Gu said: "Go up the mountain, what are you doing up the mountain?" "Seeing that our business can't be done, and you go up the mountain to be my Taoist priest, will you also become a Taoist nun?" Cui Gu said: "If you want to be beautiful, you can become a Taoist nun so easily after looking at me?" " When Mingzhu heard this, she didn't have time to think about it, covered her mouth and smiled and said loudly: "Okay! One will be a Taoist priest, and the other will not be a Taoist nun. It's really hard to scare people." Hu Gongshan and Cuigu were surprised that someone might be eavesdropping, they hurriedly opened the door and came out to look, they saw that it was Mingzhu, they didn't know when he would come and how much they had heard.Mingzhu didn't mind at all, and said with a grin: "It's Yiqi going to Shouyang again, and going up the mountain to be a Taoist priest. No one forced you two, so why did you run away?" In the room, he sat down and looked at the two of them. Cuigu poured a cup of tea and offered it, and said with a smile, "Master Ming is such a rare visitor, but he hasn't come here for a while." Hu Gongshan also laughed and said, "Our brothers and sisters have become Taoist priests and nuns. How about going to Xiaoguan to find a half-day leisure!" After speaking, the three looked at each other and smiled. After talking for a while, Hu Gongshan stood up and said goodbye.Cui Gu knew that he would not be able to express his heart, so she did not force her to stay, she immediately turned back after seeing him out, and said to Ming Zhu with a smile, "Why do you come to my place for a leisurely visit today?" Ming Zhu didn't answer, and frowned He frowned and asked: "Since you are on good terms with this brother Hu, why don't you refuse to be good?" "By him? He would like to, but it has to be consensual! What, you're jealous, idiot, he's my brother-in-law!" Mingzhu remained silent, thinking about their conversation just now, and then asked: "What about Gu Huafeng, You Hui'an, and Chen Qinian? It seems to be the names of several people, but I didn't understand it." Cuigu was stunned for a moment, and after a while she suddenly burst out laughing, covering her chest with her hands: "You are so smart, where did you hear that! There is a regret nunnery in Wuhua Peak, where his young master Chen Qinian practiced Taoism." , He is going to return to the mountain with his crown on, and invite me to go to his master together..." At this point, she was a little out of breath from laughing. "You have done a good job as an official, why do you suddenly want to retire?" Cui Gu smiled and said: "That's your men's business, how do I know?" Probably because the black gauze hat is too small! " "His surname is Hu, your surname is Wu, why are you brothers and sisters?" "This?" Cui Gu suppressed her smile and sighed, "Oh, it's a long story. He had an infatuation with me, and he saved my life... Later, we became brothers and sisters... Forget it, forget it Well, it’s a long story, I’ll tell you in detail when I have time in the future.” After finishing speaking, he went back into the inner room and took out a Yaoqin and said, "Uncle Ming, I got a few new poems, you can take a look first, if they look good, how about I sing them to you?" Mingzhu took a look.Hmm - aren't these the few poems that Brother Wu and I saw in Feng's Garden?Why does she have it too? He quickly said: "I have seen this poem before."I also know the remaining four.Where did you get it? " Cui Gu was taken aback: "Ah? Where have you seen it?" Mingzhu sneered and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll recite it to you: 'Swallows in the Six Dynasties, the flowers beside the Zhuque Bridge don't bloom every year, so you don't need to be sad and ask Wang Xie, will Liu Lang come back once he goes'." Unexpectedly, I just read it here.Cui Gu's expression changed drastically immediately, as if her body had been hit hard, she staggered a step, sat back in her chair and said, "You know everything, why are you asking?" "What do I know?" Mingzhu said with a smile, "If I knew, why would I ask you?" Cui Gu didn't answer, just asked: "Where did you see this poem?" At first, Mingzhu only played it as a joke, but when she saw that her face suddenly became stern, her eyes changed, and she expected to have a serious secret, she decided to trick her.He smiled and said, "Hmph, don't try to hide anything from me, do you know what I do, there is nothing I don't know!" As soon as this sentence came out, Cui Gu's face suddenly changed: "You, you, what can you do if you know. Let me tell you, this is my father's poem. I have always regarded you as a good person and gave you everything , I didn't expect that you are also a wolf-hearted thing. Today I fought with you, Daddy's big..." As she spoke, Cui Gu couldn't control herself anymore, she stood up, threw herself in front of Ming Zhu, and grabbed Ming Zhu's collar. "Tell me, you... the emperor's bodyguard, what exactly do you want to do with me?" A delicate young girl, because of a few lines of poems, suddenly became horrific, frightening Mingzhu, as long as he is alive, he will probably never forget this scene.He struggled a bit, Cui Gu's five fingers were like iron hooks, he was even more surprised. At this moment, a loud noise was heard downstairs, and the servants, boys and maids cried together.The two of them didn't have time to think, the door of the pavilion opened wide with a "bang", and the one-eyed dragon Liu Jinbiao appeared at the door with a few people grinning grinningly.Footsteps were chaotic upstairs and downstairs, Mingzhu knew she couldn't get out. "What's the matter?" Liu Jinbiao smiled with one eye sideways, "It's really rare for a whore in a brothel to beat a client! Hehe..." "Keep your mouth clean, your mother is a bitch!" Cui Gu slowly let go of her hand in astonishment, she was a little slow, after being shocked, her hysterical emotions were buffered, and she began to become rational again Get up, "I have a family and a family with a name and a surname here. At the feet of the emperor of the Taiping world, what do you think? Which yamen are you from, and you are so wild?" Liu Jinbiao saw that her speech was simple and straightforward, so he didn't dare to be frivolous, and said: "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you. Mr. Bumbleshan has something to ask Mr. Mingzhu, and ask him to go to the house to talk about it. After speaking, he put his mouth together, two A big man in Tsing Yi came up to set up the pearl and left, when Cui Gu went up to stop her, Liu Jinbiao blocked her with his arm, she staggered at that moment, then she came back to her senses and shouted loudly: "You can't take him away!Mingzhu, you heartless, tell me quickly, who can save you, tell me quickly! " "Your Majesty!" Ming Zhu had been dragged down the stairs, and when she heard her question, she answered loudly. "Quickly tell me, my father and he." Just as she was here, Cui Gu suddenly felt that the question was inappropriate, so she covered it up. Just as Mingzhu finished saying the word "emperor", her face was slapped twice, and her mouth was covered by something. For a while, the building was empty, Cui Gu sat down slumped, like having a nightmare.A gust of wind blew, the red candle flickered a few times, and then went out.At this time, only the cold moon in the sky silently shines on the Jiaxing Building.Under the eaves, the iron horses "jingle" and "jingle" sounded desolately. Cuigu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, the joys and sorrows of the past ten years flooded her mind...
