Chapter 233 Hidden Red Makeup
After laughing, the three of them walked to the small courtyard on their shoulders. Along the way, they talked to each other about what happened after parting. From time to time, there was a sound of laughter, and soon they arrived at the yard.
He knocked on Zhu Men. After a while, the sound of soft footsteps came suddenly. When the door opened, he exclaimed with joy, "Brother Qiu Bai, Brother Yuan Pei!"
Seeing Bamei, Zhang Qian and Li Zhi were also quite happy. They hurried forward and held each other and asked about Minnan, and the latter naturally said seriously, as if he were pretending to be a little adult.
Entering the room, several women were talking about their family life with Aunt Zhang. Zhang Qian and Li Zhi, who were pulling the eighth sister, changed their faces. They hurried forward and bent down to Chai Qingyun and saluted, "I've seen the princess!"
At this visit, Aunt Zhang, who was still laughing, was immediately stunned. Later, she came to her senses and suddenly turned pale. She got up in panic, knelt on the ground, and said vaguely, "The old woman didn't know that the princess had arrived and offended the princess. I hope the princess will be kind!"
Seeing this situation, Chai Qingyun hurried forward and held Aunt Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground. "Aunuch Zhang, you don't have to talk like this. It's better to gossip like before."
Hearing the words, Aunt Zhang shook her head in horror, "I can't, I can't..."
I really couldn't pull up Aunt Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground. Chai Qingyun didn't care about Zhang Qian and Li Zhi, who were still saluteing, and stared at Yang Yanzhao.
Being stared at by this, the latter feels a little aggrieved. After all, for ordinary people, what they usually come into contact with is just rice, grain and oil fumes, and the princess is a royal noble. How can she not be frightened? Aunt Zhang is like this, which is also reasonable.
But Chai Qingyun had already signaled. Naturally, he was about to open his mouth, so he came forward and patted the backs of Zhang Qian and Li Zhi, "Brother Qiu Bai, Brother Yuanpei, don't bend over, it's easy to break."
Then she picked up Aunt Zhang, who was still panicked, and pressed her to the wooden chair. "Aun Aunt Zhang, since the princess has said something, how can you not do those false gifts in the future, otherwise our princess will not be happy."
There was a slight sense of joke in the words. Aunt Zhang, who had not yet recovered, just nodded repeatedly, while Zhang Qian and Li Zhi on the side heard another meaning.
The two couldn't help secretly looking at Chai Qingyun. Seeing that there was no different color on her face, they immediately looked at each other and smiled, bowed their heads and said nothing.
Dinner is a wine and dish called from the restaurant at the entrance of the alley. It has been a reunion after a long separation. It is very lively. Although the food in the plate is not as delicious as the jade plate, it is enough to make people eat. The wine in the pot is not agar jade dew, but it is intertwined. I don't like it.
The time was exhausted, and the noise calmed down. Everyone dispersed to rest, but Li Zhi pulled Yang Yanzhao's sleeve, his mouth kept whispering, and his eyes burst into tears.
Understanding what he said in his vague words, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help sighing and sent Li Zhi back to the room. After settling down, he walked out of the room and saw Zhang Qian leaning against the red pillar of the eaves. His face was rosy and his eyes were blurred. Obviously, he was slightly drunk after drinking.
"Is Qiu Bai waiting for me?"
Walking forward, I put my hands on the wooden railing in front of the eaves. The evening wind blew, and the grass at my feet shook slightly. The faint fragrance of grass made Yang Yanzhao a little more fresh in front of his nose.
"Brother Yuan Pei, did he fall asleep?"
Turning around, Zhang Qian asked softly, straightening his hair blown by the wind, staring at the corner of the courtyard wall, where a few ink bamboos were green and green, and under the night, the mother-in-law was gently twitching.
Not long after, a smile appeared on his face, which seemed to be with some bitterness. "Although Brother Yuan Pei and I met for the latest time, we are also careless and not serious on weekdays, but they are very generous and treat people very sincerely. Over the past year, there has always been too much pain in his heart. Now Brother Yan Zhao, you are back. I'm afraid he can't hold it anymore.
With a sigh, Yang Yanzhao raised his head and looked at the starry sky. "The moon is cloudy and sunny, people have joys and sorrows, and things can't be forced. Since it has dispersed, let it go!"
Hearing the words, Zhang Qian turned his head and stared at him. For a long time, he actually ate and laughed again. "If this is Yan Zhao's sincere, Zhang Qiubai feels a little strange, but it's such a truth. It's right to look at the flower passers-by. Only in this way can you feel more comfortable."
Although he said it with a smile, Yang Yanzhao could hear the sadness in it. At the beginning, all six people were regarded as close friends, but now, they are like strangers in Bianliang City. How can he not sigh at this gap?
After saying this sentence, Zhang Qian also raised his face. The evening wind blew on his cheeks, and his hair was scattered again and danced on his face.
"Lv Mengzheng is already the criminal division of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Brother Bingyang..."
With that, he paused for a while. Zhang Qian took a deep breath and continued this time, "Brother Bingyang and Brother Guangbi entered Shangshu Province. Now he is the Langzhong of the left and right Silang, and he is also the sixth grade. And Brother Chang is also quite valued. He entered the door and did something. Now, although he is a six-grade official, he is better than others. Even that Qi Xian has made Songzhou's general judgment.
Speaking gently, a wry smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, talking about the encounters of several people with Yang Yanzhao, but in the depths of his words, he was a little lonely.
In the same subject and No. 1 for only one year, he and Li Zhi are still seven-grade officials. Although the seventh grade and the sixth grade are only one grade different, in Bianliang City, it is completely different and is a waterline that is difficult to cross.
Both of them were silent. There was silence in the courtyard, and the wind stroked them gently. It seemed that Li Zhi in the room could faintly be heard in a low voice.
For a long time, Yang Yanzhao shook his head full of confusion and patted Zhang Qian's shoulder. "The tree attracts a lot of wind. Sometimes it's too fast, but it's easy to fall. You and I'd better do our best to find our own duty. As for the rest, let's forget it for the time being."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qian nodded, then rubbed his forehead with his hand, turned around and walked to one side. "Brother Yanzhao is right. The official is light-hearted. Maybe at this moment, in the high court, those important ministers are thinking about some annoying things, and I, a little official, can sleep easily."
After saying that, he left. In the evening wind, he whispered, "The wine is a song, the geometry of life, such as the morning dew, the day is more bitter; it should be generous, and the worry is unforgettable..."
When the wooden door was closed, the sound was no longer audible. Seeing Zhang Qian enter the room, Yang Yanzhao stood in the distance and was dull for a long time. Then he sighed and walked to the room that had been kept for him in the north.
The dark yellow oil lamp lit up the oil paper window and opened the door. I saw several women gossiping while waiting. When they saw him come in, they all looked over. The Luo girl got up and said, "Ryulang, do you feel dizzy. The slave family cooked some sobering soup in the defense. I was afraid that it would be cold, so it was not yet full. I'll get it for you."
After saying that, Yang Yanzhao could only smile and said a few words with Chai Qingyun, Ba Mei and Pai Feng. After drinking the sobering soup, he also felt much better.
The lights shook gently. Chai Qingyun, who was talking, looked up at the darkness outside the window from time to time. Seeing her like this, Luo's girl covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Chai thinks it's late, but she is reluctant to leave?"
A joke made Chai Qingyun's cheeks suddenly turn red. He was about to say something to fight back, but he thought that Ba Mei and Pai Feng were both there, so he swallowed the words to his mouth. He could only linger and pretended to stare angrily.
Perhaps the laughter between the two women rarely took the lead. Seeing Chai Qingyun's shy appearance, she couldn't help laughing secretly again.
"Well, it's getting late. It's time for Yuer to go back."
Yang Yanzhao whispered, and Chai Qingyun got up and said goodbye to Ba Mei and Pai Feng. When he passed by Luo's girl, he squeezed his eyes at her, "Sister Qinger, is it okay for my sister to borrow your Liulang tonight?"
A joke made Ba Mei laugh strangely, but the exhaust wind lowered her head. Luo's face suddenly became shy, and she twisted her sleeves. Later, she turned her head and walked to the bedside. "If Sister Chai likes it, she will stay."
Listening to the two women's jokes, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help coughing twice, "At least I'm still standing here. Why do I feel that I'm not taken seriously?"
Her smiling face was like a flower, and the eighth sister came forward and pushed him out. "Sixth brother, you just have to sell well. Why don't you send Sister Yuer back to your house quickly?"
After saying that, he pulled Chai Qingyun's skirt again and said slightly coquettishly, "Sister Yuer, you can take the fish and exhaust wind to see your princess's mansion in two days. It must be very elegant. The fish is so envious!"
Another laugh. Chai Qingyun waved his hand and left. By the side, Green Pearl took the package that had already been packed up from the table and followed her.
The moon star is rare, and the moonlight leaking into the alley reflects the figure of the two on the silent blue brick surface. Yang Yanzhao and Chai Qingyun walked side by side, two feet behind him, followed by green beads.
In such a scene, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but remember several meetings. He and Chai Qingyun met because of the assassination, which was really in the alley under the night.
Thinking of these past events, the two of them said, but they recalled very much. From time to time, there was a low laugh, which made the green pearls behind them full of joy.
Unconsciously, the princess's mansion, which was originally separated by several streets, arrived, with three eaves and bricks and tiles. Even under the night, under the red lanterns on both sides, it was magnificent enough.
After looking at it for a long time, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help smiling and said, "I didn't expect that Yuer's mansion was so elegant, but it opened my eyes."
"Liulang, you are such a poor mouth," said in a low voice. Chai Qingyun let the green beads come forward and knock on the door. The crisp bronze beast hit the tight Zhumen. After a while, the sound came, and the Zhumen also opened immediately, and an old man in a gray robe came out.
After seeing Chai Qingyun, the man quickly bent forward to salute, "The little old man has seen the princess!"
After entering the house, the grass and green trees are in pieces, the flying buildings are inserted into the air, the carved embroidery threshold, the stone is through the clouds, the white stone is the fence, surrounded by the edge of the pool, the stone bridge is three ports, and the beast's face spit.
This is low-key luxury.
He sighed in his heart and walked through the winding and quiet eaves. In front of a cluster of beautiful orchids, there was an elegant room. The hollowed-out red door was pushed open, and the green beads took the lead in and lit the oil lamp.
When I stepped into it, I felt a slight fragrance. Through the light, I looked at Chai Qingyun's boudoir. The tables and chairs carved from good sandalwood were carefully engraved with different patterns in the room, and the delicate and gentleness of my daughter's family flowed everywhere. There were diamond bronze mirrors and combs on the table. Inside the table was a hundred. The colored curtain, the red hollow pattern can be faintly seen, and the green cover embroidered quilt placed in **.
Near the bamboo window, there are several pieces of rice paper on the table of rosewood. There are several brushes on the inkstone. There are several white jade bottles on the edge of the rice paper. There are purple gauze hanging on the bamboo window. The orchids outside the window shake gently with the slowly blowing wind.
The boudoir is fresh and simple.
When Yang Yanzhao looked at it, Chai Qingyun waved his hand and retreated the green beads, opened the curtain in front of the bed, and took out a three-foot-long and two-foot-wide sandalwood box from the dark box at the head of the bed.
After putting the wooden box on the table, Yang Yanzhao only felt that his eyes were full of red color, decorated with green phoenixes. After the three crowns, there were three temples on the left and right. After unfolding, it was like a colorful phoenix tail, with jewelry tassels hanging on the edge of the crown, which was exquisite and beautiful.
Under the phoenix crown, there is a bright red havel, inlaid with golden lace, embroidered with a golden phoenix flying picture, and the hem is water blue, hovering a claw dragon.
He took out the phoenix crown and put it on the table. Chai Qingyun took out his coat and looked for it carefully for a while, but he didn't find it at all. So he asked, "Liulang, do you think there is a mystery in it?"
His hand stroked the haze, but there was nothing strange. Yang Yanzhao turned his head and stared at the phoenix crown shining brilliantly under the light again.
The four golden phoenixes with pearls in their mouths wanted to fly, and their hands stroked them, with a slight coolness. After reading it carefully, they couldn't help twisting their eyebrows together.
Is it possible that you have misjudged?
Just as he withdrew his hand, he happened to meet the pearl in the mouth of the golden phoenix in front of the crown. His heart suddenly moved, and the pearl seemed to be able to turn!
Looking at Chai Qingyun, Yang Yanzhao carefully took off the pearl. In Jin Feng's mouth, a small piece of yellow brocade appeared.
