004 State of Chu

The State of Chu.

In this season when the Three Kingdoms of the Qinyue period are still ravaged by the cold wind, Chu, the southernmost part of the country, has ushered in the first touch of green this spring.

The continuous reclamation of mountains is like the smoke and dust of a faint green land. Looking from afar, it echoes the light blue sky. The gentle breeze is full of the unique fragrance of soil in early spring, and it shows a continuous spring color.

Many tender green buds have emerged from the willow branches and swayed into the beautiful lake beside them with the wind. With the gentle spring breeze, they wrinkled a pool of lake water. There are tourists enjoying spring on the lake. Flat boats and gorgeous flower boats shuttle leisurely on the lake, which has been silent all winter.

From time to time, there was a melodious song on the flower boat. This soft voice had just been sung a small song. At this time, the kite sounded together and another one was sung, but the song sounded euphemistically like crying, like a new song.

“......

The childish girl has nothing to rely on,

I left my hometown with tears,

Bearing the hatred of home and country,

Turning around the world.

Face dyeing cream,

Dust windows,

A few times heavier and longer night leakage,

......”

The guests on the ship were infected by the story in the song. They listened sideways and were intoxicated, but they heard a sound of footsteps upstairs. After a while, the girl who sang the song stopped singing and followed the people to the boathouse on the second floor.

Sitting in the workshop was a middle-aged man with white temples. Looking at the singer coming up, he split his head and asked, "Who made this?"

The singer had been singing in the flower boat for a long time and knew the identity of the person in front of her. At this time, she was shocked by the momentum in his tone. She was so scared that she couldn't speak. After a while, she replied, "Yes... it was made by an artist who walks around the world."

"What about that man?"

"It's said... I'm going to find relatives somewhere else... It's been three or four days..."

Looking for relatives? How old is that man?"

"Two... the appearance of the descendants in their twenties."

"Can you still find him?"

"He wrote this song for the maidservant... If there are many people who listen to the song... I will come back in four days... settle with the maidservant, or compose the song again..." He was afraid and knelt down and said, "I don't like this song, the maidservant... I will never sing again... The man will come again... I dare not see you again... "

"I didn't say it's not good. This song is very good. The middle-aged man thoughtfully looked out of the boat and stared at the distance for a long time before saying, "When he comes back, try to leave him behind." This man's music is well written, and I attach great importance to it. When the singer heard what he said, she was relieved and went downstairs with the reward.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling to a man behind him, "staring at her secretly."

The man answered and turned to go downstairs.

The sound of the piano downstairs sounded again, and the middle-aged man's fingers gently tapped the beat on the small table. He looked into the distance, but his eyebrows were a deep color.

Since this night, outside the small art building where the singer is located, if someone is careful, it is not difficult to find that there is always a person hiding and secretly observing the singer's behavior, and then report back the people she met every day. Of course, few people will pay attention to such a situation, unless the stalker raises his head by himself, and he will find that someone is doing the same thing as him in a small window on the second floor of the inn where he is leaning back at this moment, but he is the stalker.

The door behind him opened gently, and then closed it gently. Li Fu walked to the window softly and whispered, "That man was really sent by Qi Fu to keep an eye on him."

The young man standing in front of the window turned around, but it was a strange face with a slightly dark yellow complexion. Although his eyebrows were clear, it was a pity that there was a big scar on one side of his neck, like a trace of fire burns. This slightly red and terrible skin color covered half of his forehead, making this original beautiful face strange. Different.

Although this person's face is strange, his voice is familiar: "It's right that it's from Qifu." But it turned out to be Bai Shaoqing.

Li Fu said, "Mr.... Mr., you dressed up like this and helped the singer write music. What are you going to do?"

"I just want to know who in the State of Chu will be particularly worried about the incident eight years ago. Don't I already know now? Qi Yunkai! Very good, that's really great." There was no smile in her voice, but something disturbing.

Li Fu hurriedly said, "What is the prince going to do?"

Bai Shaoqing closed the window, took him to the table and sat down. He said softly, "Didn't I tell you about my life? This trip to Chu, I just want to find the truth of the past.

"I understand." Li Fu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to Qi's house first..."

"No. I'll do the matter here. There is one more thing, I would like to ask you to do it for me.

"Please don't ask me to say anything. Son. Just tell me." Li Fu smiled.

"You go to Yaocheng. There is a Liu Dashan person there. Go and see if their family has really moved away.

"Oh, is that the family you mentioned by your adoptive brother-in-law?"

"That's right. When I was in Xiangshan, my master helped me investigate this matter. He told me that the family suddenly moved away, and even my siblings had no news. This trip to the State of Qin made me understand some truths, so I want to confirm whether what he said was true or not. Those people left for other reasons, or simply because of him. Anyway, you should be careful."

Li Fu nodded and said, "Then where can I find you when I come back?"

Bai Shaoqing squeezed his lips and smiled and said, "Qi Mansion. Shao Qing.

......

When Housekeeper Yang took the book boy to Qi Yunkai's study, he was buried in a pile of files. He was the prime minister of Chu and stayed in the study for the longest time every day. Hearing the housekeeper's words, he looked up, but was shocked by the strangeness of the young man in front of him and asked, "What's wrong with your neck?"

Shao Qing lowered his head and said, "The fire in my hometown has come."

"Oh," Qi Yun sighed and said, "It's rare for young people to be disabled." He looked up and down again: "I read your article. You are the most outstanding candidate this time. When the State of Chu employs people, you have been honed in the house for a few years, and you must have a bright future in the future."

"The little student is not deeply involved in the world. He is lucky to practice and polish in the prime minister's mansion. He will never dare to live up to the kindness of the prime minister."

"Well, Housekeeper Yang will take him to see the young master." The two of them agreed to retreat. Butler Yang walked all the way to the backyard with Bai Shaoqing, who was dressed as a man, talking about the situation of the young master Qi Xiaoman. But Bai Shaoqing was a little distracted.

The fragrance of flowers around is attacking people. The path beside the rockery extends curvedly through a garden cave door. There are two fork roads in front of him. Butler Yang pointed to the one in the east and said, "You can't go over there. It's the lady's boudoir in the backyard. Remember, it's a matter of life."

Bai Shaoqing answered, followed him and continued to look in. After a while, he stopped in front of a big room. Butler Yang shouted three young masters outside the door and waited for a long time before he heard a childish voice in the room saying lazily, "It's so noisy."

Butler Yang said, "Young master, it was the master who chose a new companion, and the young one brought him to meet him."

"I just fell asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Butler Yang glanced at Bai Shaoqing, who looked as usual, and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "The master ordered it. I will let the young master see it today. From tomorrow, he will accompany the young master to study.

The room was quiet. The two of them waited outside for a long time without seeing anything. The housekeeper Yang winked at Bai Shaoqing and let her go in by herself, and he ran away in a hurry.

Bai Shaoqing stood outside for a moment and gently pushed the door. He saw that there was enough light in the room. There was no atmosphere of taking a nap. However, a lazy teenager was closing his eyes and leaning against the long couch by the window, pretending to fall asleep. Bai Shaoqing was stunned at him for a moment, turned around and gently closed the door and was about to exit, but Listen to Qi Xiaoman shout, "Well, how can there be such a bookboy? Are you leaving now? Seeing that the young master is resting, do you also want to slip away and find a place to be lazy?

Bai Shaoqing turned around and said, "I think the young master is asleep. It's not convenient to disturb you."

When Qi Xiaoman saw his face, he shouted in horror, "What's wrong with your face? Did Dad find a monster to scare me?

Bai Shaoqing said, "Yes, the prime minister said that you always pick up three and four. It's better to find a monster to come back. Maybe it will shock you."

Qi Xiaoman was stunned and said, "You don't look like a book boy at all."

"Don't people who look like books scare you away? Where do you put those snakes and insects? Don't you want to open my eyes?"

Qi Xiaoman said, "What do you want to do?" At this time, Bai Shaoqing had walked back to him slowly towards the light and approached. Only then did he find that the bookboy's appearance was not terrible. If he avoided the half of his chin from the other side, he could even be regarded as a beautiful and eye-catching teenager. What's more, the gentle smile in his eyes somehow made Qi Xiaoman feel at ease. He was familiar with it. At this time, he turned over and stayed and said, "Since you want to see it, I will take you to open your eyes. Don't say that I didn't remind you. Don't be scared when you see you. I can't stand such a cowardly person."

I didn't want the book boy to raise his eyebrows and smile, "I also loved to play that when I was a child. I still have many good ways to play these."

Qi Xiaoman suddenly became happy and looked up and said, "Really?"

He stood in front of her on tiptoe, and his little face was full of excitement. Bai Shaoqing's eyes unconsciously raised a thin layer of fog. The appearance of the teenager in front of him seemed to have changed a little in her eyes, passing a little light in the depths of her memory. She hurriedly restrained her thoughts and said, "Of course it's true, the young master's Let's go."

Qi Xiaoman was very happy to finally have a different book boy. In the past, those were either serious or as timid as a mouse. He had no playmate since he was a child. At this time, he saw that the new bookmate was very right, and he couldn't help but feel very happy. When he walked out to the door first, the two turned around the rockery, but someone gently scolded, "Xiaoman, how do you Are you running around again? Didn't you say that you found another scholar for you?"

Bai Shaoqing stopped immediately when he heard the words. Qi Xiaoman turned around and smiled and said, "Mo, this is my new book boy. I'm about to take him to see my baby."

A beautiful girl came out of the rockery. A pair of bright big eyes were looking at Xiaoman dotingly. Listening to what he said, she turned around and looked over. When she saw Bai Shaoqing, she was naturally shocked and said, "Is this the new book boy?"

Bai Shaoqing looked at the ground and lowered his head.

The girl looked at him up and down, and then looked at Xiao Man with a happy face. Her expression gradually calmed down and said, "Xiao Man is naughty. You have to take care of him more in the future. What's your name?"

"The next surname is Shao, a single name is a green character, green grass." I don't know whether she deliberately repeated her tone or for some other reason, the girl read the name in a low voice, and suddenly looked up and said, "Shao Qing!" The same name was completely different after reading it twice. The former was strange and the latter was amazed. At the same time, Xiaoman was also a little surprised. Looking at the bookie around him, he said, "Shao Qing? Isn't this with Sister Bai..."

The girl immediately reached out and covered his mouth, looked at him reproachfully, and then looked at Bai Shaoqing with an indifferent look. She reluctantly smiled and said, "Your name is a little similar to a person we used to know before, so it's so fus that it makes you laugh."

Bai Shaoqing's eyes were restrained, and he nodded and smiled.

The girl looked at him and Xiaoman again, and told Xiaoman to be obedient, and then turned around and left.

Qi Xiaoman turned around and walked forward and said, "That's my sister Qi Ruchun, who is the future princess."

Princess? Which brother did you marry Chu Sheng? Bai Shaoqing was thinking about it, and Qi Xiaoman said proudly, "Do you know Chu Su, a famous magic doctor?"

Bai Shaoqing was stunned and immediately remembered Lin Shu, who had saved himself in Ningcheng, but he clearly remembered that he claimed to be surnamed Lin. Didn't they talk about one person? However, the word "divine doctor" is not for everyone, but this question did not stay in her mind for too long, because Xiaoman had taken her to his treasure warehouse.

In fact, it's just a simple flower. Usually, the child probably catches some insects, ants and snakes here, raises them in many small cages behind the flower pot, and plays with these insects and ants. It can also be seen that the child is lonely. Looking at his smiling look, she couldn't help twitching in her heart. If her younger brother Kanger could grow so big... Bai Shaoqing restrained his spare time and squatted down to accompany him to watch and play with these little things.
