Chapter 37: White jade for blue brick
When a trace of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, Shen Xiaojia slowly woke up, propped up the rosewood bed with his arms, sat up straight, patted his groggy head, and remembered the ridiculous things last night, and quickly glanced left and right, but
Chu Yunqiao was not found.
Gently sniffing the lingering fragrance on the brocade quilt, Shen Xiaojia shook his head with a wry smile. In his previous life, in this situation, it was usually the man who left in advance. Unexpectedly, he was the one left on the bed now.
...There is even a piece of gold beside my pillow!
How could this be? Is this a reward? Or is it compensation for your hard work last night?
In the Yanyu Tower, I slept with the oiran, and it was me who was rewarded. What a shame and humiliation!
After getting out of bed, Shen Xiaojia quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the boudoir majestically. He looked around for Chu Yunqiao's figure. He found nothing in the backyard, by the stream, in the pavilion, and in the lobby.
Not only was Chu Yunqiao missing, but even Lao Qu and Yan Qi were missing.
Shen Xiaojia grabbed a boy who was lazily cleaning the lobby, and after questioning, he learned that Lao Qu and Yan Qi had left last night. As for the whereabouts of Chu Yunqiao, was it possible for a low-level servant like the boy to be there?
May know.
He originally wanted to find Huang Siniang to pay the bill and ask where Chu Yunqiao was, but he always felt that he couldn't just leave like this. Wouldn't he be the same as the scumbags of future generations... But when he came to the counter, he realized that Huang Siniang was there.
He went out early in the morning to purchase various miscellaneous items for Yanyulou. As for last night's accounts, he had already settled the accounts, and the remaining allowance was replaced with sake and food as he said.
With a bowed sigh, Shen Xiaojia had no choice but to take two bottles of sake, a plate of spicy braised beef, and three kilograms of peanuts from the counter, and walked out of Yanyulou slowly, looking back with regret on his face, and filled with emotion in his heart.
The reason why he was so persistent in wanting to find Chu Yunqiao was because of a strong sense of responsibility in his heart. After all, Chu Yunqiao was the first woman he had in this life and in his previous life.
In the last life, he only wanted to be a hero who punishes evil and eliminates rape, and had no intention of caring about the love between his children, so he missed Xiao He. When he wanted to find Xiao He, Xiao He had already turned into A Lian, so he
Whether they have met or not.
He has never tasted the taste of a fragrant jade, but now after tasting it for the first time, it is so beautiful that it makes him have some real emotions for this era for the first time, giving birth to infinite longing, and he begins to feel that getting married and having children, growing old together, and living a normal life
It seems pretty good to finish a lifetime.
Furthermore, according to the experiences he heard in his previous life, he should be Chu Yunqiao's first man. Although he does not have any eccentric complex, the pride and responsibility in his heart are stronger.
However, a woman who had such special meaning to him wanted to kill him.
Therefore, he wanted to find Chu Yunqiao and ask her seriously why she wanted to kill him. If there was no unsolvable knot, he wanted to hold her little hand and promise to hold her hand and grow old together with her.
promise.
He really wanted to find Chu Yunqiao, patting his chest and promising that he would help her redeem her life and shoulder the responsibility of a man to support the family, so that she would not have to laugh at others when she didn't want to laugh, and have no shoulder to lean on when she wanted to cry.
He really wanted to find Chu Yunqiao, but he was afraid of actually finding Chu Yunqiao, because in fact he didn't know how to face her. Every time he saw Chu Yunqiao, he felt like he was seeing Alian, especially
It was last night that the chicken's medicinal power made him confused and mistook Chu Yunqiao for Alian, and that's why he made that beautiful mistake.
Take one step and look back three times.
Before turning into Feixue Lane, Shen Xiaojia took one last look at the Yanyu Tower behind him, sighed with mixed feelings in his heart, and walked towards the government office.
When his figure disappeared from the alley, the window of a wing room on the third floor of Yanyu Building slowly opened. Chu Yunqiao, dressed in a white gauze shirt, stood in front of the window, staring at the direction Shen Xiaojia left, with eyes full of hidden emotions.
Live sadly.
"You should have killed him last night instead of sleeping with him..." Tao Niang came to Chu Yunqiao's side at some point and said with a cold face.
"I wanted to kill him at first," Chu Yunqiao bit his lips and explained with a guilty conscience, "But for some reason, he had a strange smell on his body, which made me unable to get up any energy, let alone
He said he was holding the sword..."
"Yin and Yang are separated? Then he deserves to die even more!"
"It shouldn't be that kind of thing... When I woke up this morning, I felt that not only was my body not tired, but it was much more relaxed than usual. When I adjusted my inner breath, I found that the meridians in my body were extremely smooth, and all the hidden diseases caused by practicing Qinglian Sword Song were gone.
Disappear. Tao Niang, you can now use the things on the bottom of the piano with confidence, I don’t need it anymore..."
"So, you did get real benefits from sleeping with him. If you spare him just once, it's a life worth a life. No debt is owed to both."
"That's what I thought too...and he really worked very hard last night," Chu Yunqiao seemed to think of something fun, a shy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily, and he pouted, "So I was at the bedside.
Put an ingot of gold for him as payment for his hard work all night."
Tao Niang's face suddenly became a little unnatural, and she whispered, "Actually, after all, I am also responsible for what happened last night. I should have been guarding outside your room... but I met a slut on the way.
He beat me so badly that I really couldn't get away from him, so I finally sent him away, but it was already too late to come in again..."
"Forget it, it's a blessing in disguise. I still have a chance to kill him after I want to..." Chu Yunqiao deliberately avoided Tao Niang's eyes and hurriedly changed the subject, "Tao Niang, let's go to the Lotus Spring Pond first and kill him."
The hidden dangers in your body have been eliminated!"
Just when Tao Niang was about to say something, there were several knocks at the door, followed by a servant's voice, "Miss Yunqiao, the Lord of the City is here and is waiting in the lobby. The special man is here."
Come and invite the girl to come downstairs for a party."
Chu Yunqiao and Tao Niang looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "I know, you go back first to entertain the Lord of the City, and I will be there later..." After the young man accepted his promise and left, he thought for a moment,
He looked sideways at Tao Niang and said, "Now is a great time. I'll go down to deal with the old fox and draw some people's eyes away. You can go to the Lotus Spring Pond alone to use that thing without anyone noticing... But I still need it."
Use your boudoir wooden sign, otherwise it will be difficult to fool him."
"It's so hard for you..." Tao Niang looked at Chu Yunqiao with a face full of love, sighed, took out the wooden sign of her third floor boudoir from her sleeve and put it in Chu Yunqiao's hand, then hugged the Qinglian Guqin without any hesitation.
He turned around and left hesitantly.
Chu Yunqiao watched Tao Niang leap out from the backyard fence, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the painting he had hidden in his sleeve, slowly unfolded it, stared at Shen Xiaojia on the scroll infatuatedly, and said to himself
He said, "Who is Sima Bei? Who is A Lian? What secrets are hidden in you..." He shook his head a few times and carefully hid the scroll in a book on the desk, with a look in his eyes.
Full of melancholy and sadness, "How wonderful it would be if you weren't you and I wasn't me!"
After standing still for a moment, Chu Yunqiao gathered his mood, put on an elegant smile, walked out of Tao Niang's boudoir unhurriedly, crossed the gallery, turned into the lobby, glanced around, walked to the center of the lobby, and stood in the lobby. Shen Rong, who lowered his head to carefully examine the poems on the ground, stood beside him, squatted down and saluted, and said, "Happy city lord!"
Shen Rong did not raise his head to look at Chu Yunqiao, his eyes always stayed on the poems, and he waved his left hand casually, "No need to be formal, this is in the Yanyu Tower, not the City Lord's Mansion..." He pointed at the poems on the ground a few times. Wen, with a sincere expression on his face, praised you, "What a poem! That boy is too unqualified to just be a catcher. He should take the exam to become a top scholar, and then come back to marry you in a big sedan chair. He is simply a big winner in life." !”
"The Lord of the City is joking..." Chu Yunqiao was startled for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and whispered, "If he really gets nominated for the gold medal, he will only marry the daughter of a prince, how can he think so highly of me? Brothel woman... Besides, he will die soon. It doesn’t make any difference whether he wins the top prize or not. I don’t want to marry a dead man, even if the dead man is a talented poet."
"Transparent!" Shen Rong finally looked up at Chu Yunqiao, nodded in praise, "This is the choice a smart woman should make. I thought you would be different after what happened last night, but I didn't expect it. You are still you, and you did not disappoint me."
"The little girl is self-aware," Chu Yunqiao lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I will never forget who I am and what I should do...and I didn't forget it after the poetry meeting last night. If something different happens, naturally the little girl will not become a different person."
"Oh?" Shen Rong tilted his head and looked at Chu Yunqiao carefully, pretending to be surprised, "Didn't that poetic ghost with extraordinary talent spend time with you?"
"It's true, otherwise Shigui would have become a dead ghost last night."
"But how come I heard that he went to your boudoir last night and stayed there until this morning?"
"He did stay at Yanyu Tower last night, but he didn't go to my boudoir..."
"If he didn't go to your boudoir, then where did he go?"
"Tao Niang's boudoir," Chu Yunqiao took out two wooden plaques from his sleeves, handed them to Shen Rong respectfully, and explained, "My boudoir is on the third floor, and Tao Niang's boudoir is on the second floor. Because the rooms are in the same location, the numbers on the wooden signs are also the same. Only the vertical bars on the wooden signs are different. The one on the second floor has two bars, and the one on the third floor has three bars... Maybe he drank too much, If you didn't notice this, you must have gone to the wrong room."
"Then Tao Niang..." Shen Rong blinked and said with a lewd smile, "No wonder you came to see me alone, Tao Niang probably hasn't gotten up yet."
Chu Yunqiao nodded lightly and said with a shy face, "I just went to look for Tao Niang. When I pushed the door open, I did see Tao Niang still in bed... She was embarrassed for a moment, put on her shirt and ran out. I don’t know where I’m hiding in a deserted corner now, secretly feeling sad.”
"Tao Niang is a good woman, but she was harmed by that little bastard who killed a thousand swords. It's so pitiful..." Shen Rong took out a piece of paper from his arms and patted it gently in Chu Yunqiao's hand. , with a cold look, "As long as it's not you, then I can safely leave this very important task to you!"
Chu Yunqiao lowered his head and glanced at the note in his hand. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he still had a bright smile on his face. He bowed slightly and said, "This little girl will definitely fulfill her mission!"
