Chapter 32 Section 3 The Return of the Beauty

Ying Yiren's wedding was a great success, and Handan Shilin became a good story for a while.Lu Buwei is full of tastes, and after trying his best to attend the wedding and banquet, he hurried back to Cangguxi and fell asleep with his head covered.For two days and nights, I didn't eat, drink, or go out, and didn't care, as if I wanted to sleep forever.The boss Ximen was very worried, so he ordered Yue Jianwu to invite Mao Gong overnight to discuss.Mr. Mao didn't go to Lu Buwei's dormitory after hearing what the boss said, but went to the Kuayuan guest house with a bamboo stick.

In early summer, the small courtyard is surrounded by flowers and plants and populus euphratica forests, and the valley breeze blows and birds sing, making it extremely quiet and open.Mao Gong pushed open the concealed door, but there was no movement in the courtyard.Mao Gongke coughed vigorously, and a little maid in the chief corner came up to him from nowhere: "What's the matter, old man, what a big commotion?" "Hey, there's not much movement, you little sister can come out? Find someone." "Princess Zhao Ji is married, and there is no one in the guest house."

"Stupid!" Mao Gong put on a black face, "I want to see Miss Zhuo Zhao." "Old man, tell me earlier!" The little maid made a grimace, and approached Lord Mao and yelled in a low voice, "Young lady has been lying on the couch, and told me to say that there is no one. I said what if the master came from the east. She said here People have long forgotten about her, and the people who come here are servants, but no one is there. I said, what are you going to do for dinner. She also called me stupid, closed the door and never came out again. " "How many days?"

"The princess fell asleep three days before she got married, and today it has been six days and six nights." "Can you open the door?" "Yes. But the girl didn't order it, so she dared not open it." "Stupid! Are you going to starve to death!" Mao Gong's bamboo stick stomped heavily on the green brick floor, "The old man was ordered by the master to visit the girl and open the door! Wait a minute, after opening the door, go to the kitchen and order a good soup to be prepared. I'll deliver it in an hour." The little maid promised with a grimace, and took a long, flat copper key from her skirt, and led Mao Gong to a big blue brick house in the deepest part of the courtyard, and rattled it open. the latch.The door was pushed open, and a strange and dull aura came out of the dark hall immediately.The little maid suddenly panicked, and the girl started crying after calling twice.

"Stupid! Draw the curtains and open the doors and windows." Standing at the door, Mr. Mao frowned. The bright and warm sunshine was accompanied by the gentle valley breeze, but the room was still silent.Mao Gong Dudu pointed his bamboo stick, walked around the big screen and entered the compartment bedroom, his old eyes stared straight away.The cool and secluded dormitory is neat and clean, surrounded by snow-white, white couch, white tent, white desk, and white walls. The floor is covered with some withered but still white mountain flowers. A bouquet of fiery red camellias reflected the smile on the woman's face very brightly!

All of a sudden, Mao Gong's eyes were filled with tears, his white hair trembled and he sat cross-legged on the ground. He pushed his palms straight to the white couch and slowly retracted them, but he called out a long time: The hoarse and long chant echoed in the empty valley, and the steaming white air permeated the hall. When Mao Gong was sweating profusely, there was a slight moan on the white couch, and a gossamer-like voice floated over: "There is nowhere in the sky." , I'll be back too." "The princess has a body of gold and jade, why should I do this!" At some point, Lu Buwei stood at the door of the dormitory.

"Hey, tired old man too!" Mao Gong wiped the sweat from his forehead with his big sleeves and stood up, "Your old brother is finally here, I'm going too." Turning around, he winked at the little maid holding the food box in the hall, "Miss sister has meritorious service, and I will be rewarded for helping the old man back home." The little maid smiled mischievously, put the food box on the case, and helped Mr. Mao go. Lu Buwei walked to the bed with the soup cup in his hand and said: "Since the princess has woken up, please drink this cup of ganoderma lucidum and elk soup. Mao Gong's alchemist's skills can only be used for a while, but they can't be fundamental." The woman said lightly with hazy eyes: "The past is terrible. I am no longer a princess. Sir, please call me by my real name." Lu Buwei smiled awkwardly: "The name of Zhao Ji has been replaced. I am ashamed, please forgive me." The woman is still indifferent: "Zhao Ji was originally It's not my name, my real name is Chen Xuan." Lu Buwei couldn't help being startled: "So, the girl is the old princess of the Chen Kingdom?" The woman sighed softly, but closed her eyes, a tear seeped from her eyelids and climbed up her pale face. cheeks.Lu Buwei's heart trembled suddenly, he stepped forward to help the girl to lean on the big pillow, took the soup cup and fed the girl to drink spoonful by spoonful.

"Thank you, sir." The woman opened her eyes, her face blushing. "Miss Chen Xuan is so self-harming, it doesn't hurt Wei Shu! Can you tell me the reason?" "Sir, you don't need to blame yourself." Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Mr. bought me with a lot of money, and his intention was for that young master. Chen Xuan has no talent, and he can't win the heart of the young master. On the contrary, Mr. is tired of losing his love. In terms of emotion and reason, According to the rules of the Changqing Building, Chen Xuan feels too much guilt. If I stay in the world, there will be many inconveniences for all parties, so why should I go? Chen Xuan's life has been up to this point. Although the road is rough, his body and mind are as pure as snow, self-pity and pain, so he chose such a long sleep Originally, the law had nothing to do with my husband. Now the two fathers rescued me, but the little girl has nothing to repay. I just ask my husband to send me back to my hometown of Chen State. Sangma has lived in seclusion for my whole life. Mr. is very kind and virtuous, but I hope to repay you when I am born again. .”

After a long silence, Lu Buwei suddenly said, "If Buwei has other thoughts, so what?" "Changqing women's rules: the master lives and dies, without complaint or regret." "There is no peace in the homeland of Chen Country, girl, don't think so." "Since this is the case, Chen Xuan can only repay him with his death." "No! I want to marry you!" All of a sudden, Chen Xuan giggled and said, "Fantasy! Sir, I just don't know another rule of Changqing women: a lifelong slave, and renunciation of wives. If you seek a wife, you will be destroyed!"

"We are married to the young master, but why didn't you say so?" "Being committed to the son is the original intention of the master to buy me. How dare you not obey?" "It's unreasonable for a woman not to be a wife!" "Listen to me, sir." Chen Xuan smiled indifferently again, "The landlord of Changqing has a long-term plan, so there is such a rule. But sir, if the Changqing girl competes with the master's wife and wife based on her talent and beauty, she will disturb the master. The family is falling apart, how can the Changqing Building have a reputation of being infallible among the rich and powerful? If the husband is restless for a while, it will cause endless troubles, and the gains will not be worth the losses."

"But I don't believe it!" Lu Buwei sneered, strode forward and hugged the woman with both hands.Chen Xuan screamed and passed out.Lu Buwei didn't care, he tore off Chen Xuan's skirt, and took off his own clothes in twos and twos, then lay naked on the woman's body on the couch and started to breathe heavily mouth to mouth.Not a moment later, Chen Xuan woke up with a cry, his face flushed and struggling with his paralyzed body, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.However, Lu Buwei rubbed his soft and smooth body like crazy, and without saying a word, he just separated Chen Xuan's legs and stretched it out!With a weak moan and exclamation, Chen Xuan suddenly fell silent. About half an hour later, Chen Xuan, whose face was flushed and dripping with sweat, opened his eyes. Seeing that Lu Buwei was staring at him, he couldn't help but burst into tears.Lu Buwei still didn't say a word, got into bed, put on his clothes, turned around, picked up Chen Xuan suddenly, and strode out of the guest apartment.When we came to the courtyard on the mountainside, Mr. Mao and the little maid were smiling and watching from the front of the hall, while the old boss Ximen next to him had a disturbed expression on his face.Lu Buwei strode forward with a woman in white in his arms, and shouted from a distance: "Mr. Mao, Boss, I want to get married! Marry Miss Chen Xuan!" "It's God's will!" Mao Gong burst out laughing, "Lu Gongye has no barriers in his heart, congratulations!" Three days later, Canggu River was peaceful, warm and festive.There is no orchestral dance, no distinguished guests, and there are only four tables for the wedding banquet—Xue Gong, Mao Gong, Lu Buwei, and Chen Xuan.Not long after the banquet started, the old boss Ximen and the deacon servants who were feasting in the side hall took turns to come in to toast. Gonggong Xue was about to drink and play with a couple of newcomers, but Lu Buwei was already very drunk.Chen Xuan, who was wearing a red dress and jade pendant, silently leaned Lu Buwei on the table with a big pillow, got up from his seat and bowed solemnly, and personally filled up the three hundred-year-old Zhao wines for Mao Gong and Xue Gong, and poured them all in front of him. Only then did he smile when he was full of six princes: "Zhao Ji is gone, and Duke Lu is born again. The two princes are great virtues, and Chen Xuan's contemporary husband respectfully thank you." No booze!Surprised and delighted, Duke Mao pulled Duke Xue to rush to drink, the wine flowed and immediately soaked his beard and chest, and the aroma of wine permeated the hall for a while.Mao Gong Xue Gonggong was laughing loudly, but unexpectedly became unbelievably drunk, slumped and limp in front of the big case! Upon hearing the news, the old boss Ximen hurried over with Yue Jianwu and two maids, and wanted to help them back to their rooms to rest.Chen Xuan blushed and said with a smile: "My husband has me, but you just need to serve the two gentlemen and go back to the room." After speaking, he lowered his body and lifted Lu Buwei's hands, and slid out with light steps, swaying away like dancing steps.Yue Jian Wuda was surprised, and the boss followed him out of the hall as soon as he pulled Ximen. The main hall of Cangguxi Manor is located in the sunny and wind-shielded col, but the bedroom is behind the study in the hillside courtyard.Tonight, the moon is in the middle of the sky and the red lights are everywhere, so the paths can be seen very clearly.Even so, when Yue Jianwu and the two left the hall, there was no one on the stone path on the mountainside.Yue Jian was in a hurry, and with his left arm, the old boss jumped up to the hillside courtyard, passed the study after entering the gate, and saw the bridal chamber with red candles burning high.The old boss Ximen said in a low voice: "Don't worry, listen to the movement first." Then he and Yue Jian approached the red-lit French windows without making a sound. There was a heavy gasp in the room, Lu Buwei's voice: "Girl, do you hate me?" "No." The woman's soft and staccato voice said, "You are the master. It's just, it's really unexpected." "If Lu Buwei wasn't the master, would you like me?" "have no idea." After a long silence, it was Lu Buwei's voice again: "Miss Chen Xuan, the matter has come to an end, there is no need to hide it: Bu Wei Yuan is not a rash and frivolous person, I raped the girl on purpose; Zhuo Zhaoyuan was my love A man, but because of an unprovoked chance encounter in the middle of the night playing the zither, he was introduced by a stranger as a confidant; The son's love and infatuation are resolved with the beauty and talent; the disagreement is rampant, and the son insists on proposing marriage because Qin Zheng believes that Zhuo Zhao is the confidant in the dream of Populus euphratica Lin; At this time, if Buwei does not consummate the marriage of the two, not only Yingyi will be physically and mentally destroyed, but Lu Buwei will also be on the verge of failure!" Footsteps sounded in the room, and Lu Buwei sighed, "All the changes here, the girl is in the clouds. However, he is kind and generous, not only does not cause troubles due to the sudden coldness, but he wants to escape the embarrassment of Buwei by dying in vain. If Mao Gong did not point out this feeling, Lu Buwei would still be chaotic! But I am grateful for the girl's lust In order to break the frozen heart of the beautiful woman, I want to save the girl as a wife. It is not Buwei's act of bullying others with the buyer and acting like a beast. There is a lesson from heaven and earth. If Lu Buwei said something deceitful The words of the heart will be destroyed in the future!" "If you do it, do it. Do you want to be so serious?" "girl……" "Zhuo Zhao is married, why take my name?" a soft voice asked abruptly. "Qin and Zhao are mortal enemies." Lu Buwei's figure hovered on the big window, "If Zhao Guo knows that Zhuo Zhao is married to the son of Qin, he will definitely harm the Zhuo family. Sin. Zhuo Zhao's anonymity is a strategy to avoid disaster, and there is no such thing." "There is no wall and no wind, how long have you been hiding this matter?" "In five or seven years, the young master Yiren is expected to come out. Even if Zhao Guo knew about it at that time, the Zhuo family would be spared the misfortune." "Big Chu? This son is going to be the king!" "That's right. It's not too late for the princess to regret it. I will guarantee you to enter Qin Palace in three years' time." "So that's the case!" Miaoman's figure gave a soft and long exclamation, and suddenly laughed again. "Where does the smile come from? Can you believe Lu Buwei?" Miaoman's figure bowed and bowed to the ground, "Sir, you saved me from dying in my heart, it's really a reborn great virtue!" "Princess..." Lu Buwei stood upright like a wooden stake. Miaoman's figure walked a few steps on her knees and hugged Lu Buwei's legs, her soft voice trembling and choking: "I am not a princess, I am not a slave, I am your wife! You are not the master, you are my husband!" "I, I..." Lu Buwei was at a loss, and was so dumb that he couldn't speak. "Husband!" Miaoman's figure suddenly grew up, and Lu Buwei, who was like a stake, was wrapped in fiery red sleeves... Outside the window, the boss of Ximen gently pulled Yuejian, staring blankly without saying anything?Walk!Yue Jian smiled without a grimace, and as soon as he grabbed the boss's arm, the two of them flew out of the courtyard without a sound. In the early morning of the next day, a graceful green cloud floated out of the quiet Cangguxi Manor. The maids washed the laundry and washed the yarn, and the huge manor showed an orderly and lively atmosphere.For the first time, Mr. Ximen, who was always busy doing work at sunrise, leisurely rubbed his hands to wake up Mao Gong, Xue Gong, who was deeply asleep, and happily went up the mountain to watch the sun go out.Several old deacons of Lu's Trading Company were also pleasantly surprised and filled the manor with comments, and they were very happy.Yue Jian flew out of the valley without seeing any help.When Lu Buwei walked out of the courtyard in the morning, the manor was already neat and clean, full of vitality.Under the blue sky and white clouds, the smoke from cooking is curling up and laughter is endless, and the sound of birds singing and fragrance of flowers smashing clothes in the forest, mountains and streams, and the red lights in the courtyard that were somewhat desolate and sad yesterday, are filled with steaming festiveness at this time. "Hey!" Lu Buwei rubbed his eyes and sighed in surprise. "Hey, are you secretly having fun?" "Mao Gong Xue Gong," Lu Buwei suddenly turned around and muttered with a blushing face, "when I woke up, everything was wrong." "The world has been turned upside down, I'm afraid it was insincere." Xue Gong smiled teasingly. "Hey, you should add a few more words to your way of restraining your passions." Mao Gong shook his head and recited to Lu Buwei, "If you do something great, those who have nothing to do are empty. Mountains are majestic, and those without water are dry." Yes. Lust has restraint, and those without love are cold. Most of the cold and heat in the world are caused by women!" "Well added!" Lu Buwei laughed heartily, but he was full of energy like never before. Seeing the old boss Ximen in the courtyard Yaoyao beckoned, grabbed Mao Gong and Xue Gong from both sides and said, "Let's go! Drink hard today, and you won't be drunk forever!" The banquet in the main hall has been arranged neatly, still wearing a red dress, but obviously more indifferent than last night, Chen Xuan, who is completely different, is smiling and sipping wine for each case, seeing the three people talking and laughing happily, although they have different meanings, they all have different meanings. Looking at her with interest, he couldn't help but smiled shyly with his face flushed, and said that the two gentlemen are invited to the table, and he drifted away like the wind.The three of them laughed for a while at the same time, and then they took their seats and drank heavily.After drinking for three rounds, Chen Xuan came in leisurely to take care of Bu Jiu and drank with the three of them in turn. Mao Gong and Xue Gong led a pair of newcomers to joke and joke, and the joy was unprecedented.Before he knew it, it was already noon, Yue Jianwu came back in a hurry, said the good faith of Xishang, and handed Lu Buwei a tightly wrapped leather bag.Lu Buwei immediately opened it and took out a mud-sealed copper pipe. He opened it, shook out a roll of parchment, and opened his eyes. It turned out to be a very ancient line, so he handed it to the neighboring Mao Gong Xue Gong: "I don't know everything. , the two of you, let's see." "Good thing! Mr. Lu's event is over!" Mr. Xue clapped the case in surprise. "Hey, I'm afraid it may not be." Mao Gong shook the parchment, "Just these two sentences: The crown prince has established a heir, so try to return to Qin with the young master as soon as possible. Who is the source of the news? I don't know! Just say a few words It is not clear: who is the son-in-law? How to establish it? The order of the old king of Qin or the prince’s own decision? I don’t know at all! Hehe, I’m afraid I can’t act rashly based on this paper.” "In my opinion, your old brother is suspicious of foxes this time." Xue Gong said with a leisurely smile, "Qin and Zhao have turned against each other. This kind of matter is extremely confidential. The source must be half public and half private. Once the news is leaked, it is also complicated and confusing, making it difficult for Zhao Guo to judge the authenticity. Being able to write it in secret in an ancient script that has disappeared shows that the source knows the details of Lu Gong's learning, and he must think that these two sentences are enough to clarify the matter. A brush with the feet of a snake. What does Duke Lu think?" "What Xue Gong said is true." Lu Buwei folded the parchment and put it into a leather bag, and stood up with a bow, "The two gentlemen will follow me to the study to discuss. Sister Xuan, you and Ximen Daddy will clean up the manor immediately, and all the important things will be cleared." Load the car. Yue deacon, immediately rush to the Wuming Valley to inform Jingyun righteous man." After saying that, he hurried out of the hall with Mao Gong and Xue Gong. Cangguxi immediately became busy.
