Chapter 100 Prelude

On the river bank, willow branches swayed slightly in the gentle wind. The tender leaves that had just been pulled out had broken strings floating in the air and fell on the noisy streets. Some leaves also rode the wind to a loft where the windows were opened. In the open window, the piano sounds were heard plucking the strings, and the woman was singing a small song in a gentle voice with her companion.

The people downstairs were filled with noise and noisy. In the attic, a young scholar in a green robe sat cross-legged, listening quietly as his soft and slender fingers plucked the strings with his eyes closed. On the opposite side, the woman in a white dress collapsed softly, and in her every move, she had a sad and pleasing temperament.

A man and a woman are quite harmonious, and a perfect couple is just right.

Occasionally, the man would open his eyes and look at the jade man in front of him. The woman happened to notice it slightly and looked at him. Then she suddenly smiled softly. Her eyebrows and eyes were clear, which seemed to be able to understand the thoughts in people's hearts, and she had the urge to attract people to be close friends.

The woman's every frown and smile is full of invisible charm, and she seems to be infected by the soul without realizing it.

The song ends.

Her hands slowly lowered, and a breeze blew in, blowing her hair, as if the sound of the lingering sound was not broken, filling the room with lingering for a long time. The man seemed to be still unsatisfied, and closed his eyes and savored it carefully. After a moment, he opened his eyes, "Shi Shi's piano art really makes people obsessed with it. If he can't hear this good news again in the future, he will regret it for life."

"Shishi..."

After a while, the man leaned forward slightly and said, "Why, it's better to redeem you for your life. In fact, the family is quite rich. If Shishi is willing..."

Halfway through the words, the woman in a white dress whispered the strings of the piano, smiled slightly, and was about to speak. Suddenly, outside the room, a series of footsteps sounded in the corridor, the door was pushed open, and several soap-clothed men blocked the exit. The mother Li was anxiously trying to pass behind her, but she couldn't squeeze her, so she had to keep blinking at Li Shishi.

"What's the matter with all the father-in-laws looking for a teacher?"

Li Shishi stood up and bowed to the outsider's door, his expression neither flattering nor timid.

In the soapy song, one person said, "The Lord of the Cong will order that there will be distinguished guests in the mansion tomorrow. Please ask the girl Shishi to play the piano and hope that the girl can come sooner tomorrow, so don't neglect the distinguished guests."

"Who are you? Shishi is a master of Qinyi. Since you are so arrogant and rude when you invite me?" The man in the room stood up and glared at Zaoyi Fanzi.

At this time, Li's mother finally squeezed over, waved her palm with a little finger missing, and smiled apologized: "Don't be upset, you guys, don't be upset, this guy has just entered Beijing, I don't know who you are. I hope my father-in-law will temporarily stop the thunderous anger. Mom promises to send Shishi to the Admiral's Mansion tomorrow. If it's too late, I will bite another finger to apologize."

"The words, our family has already conveyed them. If you can't get there, that's your business." The soapy man led his colleagues away and went downstairs.

The man's face turned red and obviously angry. He pointed to the monk who had already gone downstairs and said, "These people... are these eunuchs from the Dongchang? It's outrageous. Don't worry, Shishi. If you don't want to go, I will go back and tell my uncle to protect you. My uncle is the youngest prince of the dynasty."

Li Shishi smiled bitterly, sighed and turned around, "You can't control..."

The man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li's mother. She said, "Don't talk about your uncle, even if Cai Xiang of the current dynasty came, it would be impossible for a prostitute to offend the Dongchang man."

"I don't believe it, I'll go back now."

The man in the scholar's robe bowed, "Don't be upset, Shishi, I'll go back and beg for uncle, but I have to wait for me."

After saying that, I bid farewell and hurried downstairs.

"Shi Shi... I'm afraid it's not good to ask this young master to find Wang Shaozai... If..." Li's mother looked at the man who could no longer run away. If there was a conflict between the two sides, the embroidery building would be affected. I'd be a little scared when I thought about it.

Li Shishi looked at the bronze mirror and frowned, "Shishi can't dissuade him, but he still has to go what he should go."

Sorrowful, she looked out the window, and the spring was bright.

.....

The sun shone down from the gaps of the trees, and the spots were printed on the ground. Bai Mansion, in the small woods of the garden, Bai Muqiu sat in the pavilion under the tree, holding a scroll in his hand, looking at it, wearing a black shirt, rolling up his back. Chunlan and Dongmei served on the left and right, holding a medicine bowl, Xifu squatted behind him, holding a Juan towel and dipped in the dark potion, and applied it carefully.

"Did my husband... still hurt?"

Xifu's eyes were wet. He wanted to touch the blood cocoon gently, but hesitated and pinched his fists, "Mr.... the one wearing yellow clothes... hits you...? Xifu helps you hit him.... Will he... hit him... I can't beat him...."

Hearing his ears, Bai Muqiu put down the book and looked at her, he was stunned for a moment. Xifu's face was covered with ink-colored medicine. He couldn't help but smile and gently pinched her face, "My husband is fine, my husband just made a mistake and will be beaten."

He turned his head and said to Chunlan and the others: "Take your wife down and wash up."

"Yes." Chunlan and the others carefully helped Xifu up and walked back.

"The face... is dirty... Then Xifu... Wash it clean... and come to apply medicine to my husband later..." The silly girl looked like a little cat, turning back to Bai Muqiu while walking.

Under the forest, Xiaopinger walked over and gently lowered the man's back coat in front of him. His eyes were full of distress. He stood beside him without saying a word, and Bai Muqiu didn't say a word.

In the end, Xiao Ping'er broke the silence, "Supermaster, when Ping'er came, he passed by the Tea House. Many literati were celebrating and saying that His Majesty had a good job in the Supervisor. If this continues, it would be bad."

"The authority belongs to the official family."

Bai Muqiu's hands shook slightly, "It would be a pity to kill Liangshan, so many killings will damage Your Majesty's kindness, so some of the blame is what we should resist as slaves."

"But... But Ping'er felt disgusted when she saw the faces of those civil servants." Xiao Ping'er said with resentment on her face and shouted crisply: "It's obvious that they didn't do anything, but now it seems that they have done it by themselves. Ping'er really wants to see one of them and kill one."

The spots shine on the silver hair, lifelike.

Bai Muqiu put down the book and looked at her, "As long as Cai Jing and others don't fall, these people will never shut up. Just so, taking this opportunity, Dongchang will not move them for the time being, so that they can relax. We also need to adjust the inside and focus on the world, otherwise the movement in the court will be too great, and His Majesty will not look good."

"and--"

His throat was a little dry and moved, and he said, "—Your Majesty is going to fight north, Fang La in the southeast is not peaceful. I am afraid that once Xiao Guizi goes north, Fang La will immediately revolt, which will be troublesome."

"Forget it, it's useless to say so much."

As he spoke, a sparrow fell on the page of the book, tilted its head and chirped twice, and trembled its wings and jumped happily. "You go down, you don't need to take care of Madam. Go and check Helian Ruxin's recent information to see if you can find the time for the Ming Cult to rebellion."

Xiaopinger pouted and left angrily.

Bai Muqiu opened his palms, and the sparrow jumped onto his palm curiously and pecked.

The next second, hold your fists.

Flesh and blood fly.

"Your Majesty... don't be too ambitious."

………

Xiao Ping'er walked out of the mansion angrily. Suddenly a figure rushed out by the side of the road, almost waving his palm and hit him. However, he saw that the person coming was the elder brother of the governor, so he stopped his palm and bowed, "It turns out that he is the eldest brother, I don't know what's going on to stop Ping'er."

Bai Sheng looked at Xiao Ping'er with some jealousy, but he knew in his heart that this woman was beautiful but also a cruel person. He immediately stopped thinking and said embarrassedly: "Miss Ping'er, I, Bai Sheng, have a ruthless request, I want to ask you for help."

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ping'er couldn't help but frown and raised her vigilance, "Brother, what do you need Ping'er's help?"

"That's right. A friend of mine was forced to survive. Last night, I actually cut off my lower body... and wanted to enter the palace to be a eunuch."

Bai Sheng rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said, "I happened to know that Miss Ping'er came from the palace, and there must be many acquaintances inside. It's like asking Miss Ping'er to send my friend in."

It turned out that this was the case. Xiaopinger felt relieved, thinking that the elder brother of the governor would make some excessive requests. So he said briskly: "Okay, tomorrow there will be a chance. A distinguished guest from the palace is coming to the mansion. Then let the eldest brother's friend come over."

Bai Sheng was overjoyed, "That's fine, that's fine, I thought it was difficult to deal with. I'm going to talk to that friend."

"But, brother, you have to make sure he is clean."

Xiaopinger said, "Otherwise, the Supervisor will not be able to clean up the mess if he is discovered by His Majesty."
