He saw a young master in gorgeous clothes and more than a dozen domestic slaves in green robes and hats walking through the garden path and heading straight to the pavilion. Liu Ziqiu only knew that after the death of Changsun Sheng, the brother and sister Changsun Wuji were raised by their uncle.
The people raised by Gao Shilian did not know what the relationship between this young master and them was.
But I heard Changsun Wugou say: "Third brother, this big brother saved..."
Changsun Sheng had a total of five sons and one daughter. Changsun Wuji was the fourth son, and there were three older brothers above him. The eldest son, Changsun Wunai, was killed during the rebellion of Han King Yang Liang, and the second son, Changsun Wuao, was killed because of his brother's contribution.
Yang Guang awarded Ying Yang the post of General and went to other places. This young master was the third son of Chang Sun Sheng, named Chang Sun Wuxian. After Chang Sun Sheng followed Yang Guang on his northern tour, Chang Sun Wuxian took charge of the family.
"Shut up!" Changsun Wuxian didn't even wait for Changsun Wugou to finish. He waved his hand behind him arrogantly, pointed at Liu Ziqiu and said, "He who comes in without invitation is a thief! Tie him up and send him to the official!"
Changsun Wuji suddenly rushed over, stopped in front of Liu Ziqiu, and said loudly: "He is my friend, you can't arrest him!"
The two maids who were hiding behind the slaves were shocked when they saw Changsun Wuji coming forward.
"It turns out that he is really the Fourth Young Master's friend."
"You are so handsome. If I had known better, I wouldn't have reported it to the Third Young Master."
"He came to see our young lady."
"Hmph! How old is the young lady? How is it possible... But it would be great if we could be a dowry girl."
The two of them were whispering like idiots, completely unaware of the tense situation ahead.
Changsun Wuxian shouted sternly: "Go! Pull the fourth child away!"
Here, Changsun Wuji refused to give in and shouted: "Let's see who dares!"
"Mr. Wuji, you little friend, Liu has made a decision." Liu Ziqiu gently patted Sun Wuji on the shoulder and said, "You'd better get out of the way first. Don't hurt the harmony between you brothers because of Liu.
.”
"I'm not young anymore." Changsun Wuji muttered, but obediently stepped aside. A dozen domestic slaves shouted "hoo!" and surrounded him.
Liu Ziqiu sneered: "Liu comes when he wants and leaves when he wants. How can you stop him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen swaying and rushing towards the eldest grandson Wuxian. Several servants hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Liu Ziqiu's actions were not seen. Several servants either fell to the ground or bumped into someone.
At the same time, Liu Ziqiu had already arrived at Changsun Wuxian's side. He gently pressed his right hand on his chest and said in a deep voice: "If you let me know that you bullied these two brothers and sisters, I will never forgive you!"
Changsun Wuxian felt like a big stone was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe. How could he answer a question? It wasn't until Liu Ziqiu let go and retreated that he felt his breath became evener. When he looked again, Liu Ziqiu was leaping like flying.
No trace left.
Changsun Wuji and his sister had already seen Liu Ziqiu's skills, so they were not surprised. However, Changsun Wuxian was shocked and angry, and was about to take out his anger on his younger siblings. Then he remembered Liu Ziqiu's warning before leaving, and the words came to his lips again.
He took it back, waved his sleeves bitterly, and hurried away with his slaves.
It was approaching evening, and suddenly a light rain began to fall in the sky, like silk, like mist, and it was pattering. I didn't know when it would stop.
Li Jing looked up at the sky and said, "Brother Xian, please don't go tonight."
Every time Liu Ziqiu broke into the Forbidden Palace at night, Li Jing and his wife stayed up all night, waiting for him to come back before they could rest their minds.
"On rainy days, the guards must be relaxed and act accordingly." The special forces are on call 24 hours a day. When a mission is issued, let alone light rain, even if it is a knife, it must be carried out resolutely. There were several times when Liu Ziqiu directly entered combat mode on the training ground.
, this difficulty is not worth mentioning at all, he waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, help me prepare a bamboo hat."
The coir raincoat was too bulky and was not conducive to movement, so he had to let him go if he got wet. He still needed a bamboo hat, which could not only keep out the rain, but also cover his face. Because of the rain, it got dark earlier than usual.
Liu Ziqiu also acted ahead of schedule. He put on his bamboo hat, wrapped the newly made leather ball in cloth, and tied it around his waist. The little princess did not reveal his secret, and he could not break his promise.
The guards in the palace were as always, not relaxing because of the rain. However, Liu Ziqiu had already mastered the rules and routes of their patrols, and easily crossed Yuanbi City and reached the second entrance.
What surprised Liu Ziqiu was that the last time he came, Xiuwen Hall and Guanwen Hall were both dark, but today there was actually a light on in the third wing on the left.
Since there are people here, Liu Ziqiu has to be extra careful. He has observed these bookstores. They are rows of bookcases. There is nothing special. Only the places near the roof have additional windows, probably for ventilation.
Although these windows are closed now, they can't trouble Liu Ziqiu.
Liu Ziqiu took out the master key, inserted it gently through the gap in the window, fiddled with it a few times, and opened the window latch.
The sound of rain outside covered up the creaking sound of the window opening, and Liu Ziqiu scurried in like a civet cat, gently leaning on the beam and looking down.
There was a desk in the middle of the room. A thin man dressed as a scholar was sitting on his knees in front of the desk, holding a pen and looking at the desk. He seemed to be writing something, but it was obscured by his figure. Liu Ziqiu saw
Not sure.
Liu Ziqiu became curious and stuck his head out. When he was outside the house just now, the rainwater on the bamboo hat had not been wiped off, so a few drops fell from his head and landed on the man's head.
The man said "Hey" and moved to the side. He didn't even raise his head. He just said to himself: "Why is this newly built house leaking? I need to find someone to take a look tomorrow.
, don’t damage the book in the rain.”
Only then did Liu Ziqiu see clearly that there was a piece of paper spread out on the table, and three lines of words were written on the paper: "Drink the clear dew with your clothes down, and the sound of the trees will flow out. Keep your voice high and far away." He couldn't help but blurt out: "It's not my hometown.
Autumn breeze.”
"It's not the autumn wind, it's not the autumn wind. Okay, good sentence!" The man became excited and put the pen on the paper. Suddenly he woke up and looked around, "Who was talking just now!"
His whereabouts were revealed, and Liu Ziqiu was not worried. There were no guards around, and this man was weak and vulnerable. Liu Ziqiu simply floated down from the roof and reached out to grab the man's throat. Suddenly he felt that this man looked familiar. I
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
The man was much shorter than Liu Ziqiu, but because of this he could clearly see Liu Ziqiu's face hidden under the bamboo hat, and exclaimed: "It's you!"
At this time, Liu Ziqiu also remembered and said, "I saw you when I was drunk."
When Liu Ziqiu got drunk that day, he went to inquire for information. Naturally, he paid special attention to every face in the store, so he still had some impressions of this person.
The man did not respond, but just kept praising: "Yu thought about the last line of this poem for six or seven days, but he was not satisfied. I didn't expect that a strong man could have such accomplishments. I admire it, I admire it."
"Are you Mr. Yu Shinan?" Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but be shocked. He had learned this song "Cicada" when he was a child, and it still impressed him deeply. He didn't expect to see the real person now.
"Do you know me? By the way, how dare you enter the palace privately!" Yu Shinan seemed to have just understood, and then said with enlightenment, "Oh, I understand, you must be here for Yunli Xishi, who is also a
Kind of love."
Liu Ziqiu didn't want to explain to him, but asked instead: "So, Mr. Yu came to the palace also for Yunli Xishi?"
Yu Shinan blushed and said with a guilty conscience: "Nonsense. The emperor will return to the palace soon. As a secretary, Yu naturally has to come and organize the books for the emperor's inspection."
Most literati have some romanticism, and Yu Shinan is no exception. He has long been famous as a admirer of Xi Shi in Yunli, and is also one of the frequent visitors to Yizui. Yu Shinan is over forty years old, and his appearance is not outstanding. In terms of power and wealth, there is no way
Compared with those dandy boys, the only thing he is proud of is his talent. Unfortunately, Yunli Xishi is just a daughter of a restaurant and has no interest in it.
Although Yu Shinan denied it, Liu Ziqiu knew that nine out of ten diners who came here came to see Wang Guizhi, and Yu Shinan was certainly no exception. He couldn't help but have an idea and said: "Yes, I just want to see her.
Life in the palace is wonderful."
Yu Shinan sighed and said, "There are a few people in the palace who can live well."
Liu Ziqiu pretended to be anxious and said: "Then I want to see her even more, but the palace is too big. Does Mr. Yu know where she is?"
"Yu only knows that she is in Shanglin Xiyuan." Yu Shinan suddenly said, "By the way, there are plans for building Shanglin Xiyuan here, as well as a list of beautiful ladies. You can find out after checking it!"
The roster of beautiful girls was stored in the seventh bookstore on the right, but Yu Shinan had the key, so it didn't take any effort from Liu Ziqiu. Because the wives of the principals of each academy had not yet been determined, the rosters did not have time to be stored in the bookcase, and were temporarily piled in the corner, a total of ** copies.
This roster was arranged from the 16th to the 1st House. Liu Ziqiu looked through it one by one. Yu Shinan was extremely nervous and insisted on standing outside the door to look out for him.
When he turned to the eleventh book, Liu Ziqiu saw Hou Susu's name. She was assigned to work as a sweeper in the Sixth Hospital. Because he didn't see Wang Guizhi's name, Liu Ziqiu was afraid that Yu Shinan would be suspicious, so he had to continue reading.
, it wasn’t until the last book that I discovered that she was one of the candidates for the first house’s wife.
Liu Ziqiu simply turned this book to the end. He didn't see Gao Xiuer's name, and he breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't know that Gao Xiuer had Shi Huiniang's name.
Yu Shinan then took Liu Ziqiu to the second room on the right, which contained the architectural plans of the entire Eastern Capital. Liu Ziqiu had learned a lot and kept the layout of Shanglin Xiyuan in mind, but it was a pity that the various courtyards and the five lakes were not included.
Naming also added a lot of difficulty to him.
It was still early, and Liu Ziqiu planned to continue exploring the way to Shanglinyuan, so he bowed his hand to Yu Shinan and said, "Mr. Yu, I will leave now. I hope you will keep it a secret!"
Yu Shinan served Nan Chen before Sui Dynasty, and he was not a die-hard loyalist to begin with. In addition, Liu Ziqiu came to stand up for Wang Guizhi while drunk that day, which already won his favor, and today he helped add a good line to his poem, which made him feel even more
After getting close, he agreed wholeheartedly and said, "If you see Yunli Xishi, you can say hello to Yu."
Liu Ziqiu secretly cursed "old lover" and disappeared into the rain.
After looking at the drawings, Liu Ziqiu already knew that Shanglin Xiyuan was actually close to the palace city. He went straight to the west and saw the Moon Tower. Suddenly he remembered the rubber ball tied around his waist, so he knew the way and looked out of the window again.
Got in.
The little princess had not yet fallen asleep. When she saw Liu Ziqiu coming in, she immediately let out a shrill scream that broke the quiet night sky.
