Suzhou Tianxialou.
It was late at night and the sky was slightly cool. Jun Bubai was drinking alone on the roof. Several immortals were drunk and he drank alone.
In the backyard kitchen, the cook on night watch cooked a midnight snack, and there was a smell of soy sauce and meat.
Among the people who were following the rules, there was an unusual figure hiding under the kitchen window. He secretly picked up a piece of beef with a bamboo pole, hid it in his arms, ran away quickly, climbed up the eaves, and landed in the other courtyard where Shen Qinglan lived.
The figure vaguely looked like the bright moon.
The little girl is growing up, so stealing a few pieces of meat doesn't hurt. But Shen Qinglan's other courtyard is guarded by Mrs. Luo. The old lady is impartial and selfless, and specifically tells people who have crossed the world downstairs not to enter without permission. Worried that Mingyue would be seriously injured, Jun Bubai dressed in white and rushed to the eaves, staying in the dark so that he could rescue her if there was a slight deviation.
Mingyue hid in the corner, took a few bites of the soy beef, wrapped the rest in lotus leaves, put it in her arms, wiped the grease from her mouth, tapped her toes, and walked towards the door of Shen Qinglan's house.
Today, Mrs. Luo is absent for the first time. I wonder if she is lucky or she stepped on it deliberately.
The lights had been turned off in Shen Qinglan's house, and it was pitch black. Mingyue poked her head in front of the door and watched for a while, then took out a copper ruler, stretched out the crack of the door, lifted the latch of the door, pushed open a gap for her to enter, rushed into the room, and closed the door tightly.
Why did Mingyue come to Shen Qinglan's room?
Jun Bubai was curious and landed on the eaves where Shen Qinglan lived. He raised his hand and moved some green tiles, using the moonlight to see what was going on in the house.
There were no lights in the room, but there were a few luminous pearls hanging above the bed. The gauze curtain is hanging down, and there is a beauty lying on the couch with a graceful figure.
If a gentleman does not stand on the beam, you will not look away without intending to do so.
Mingyue had already leaned into the bed, and a pair of rose-colored arms stretched out from the gauze curtain, dragging her into the bed.
At the slightest movement, Jun Bubai looked over, and felt a gust of palm wind in his ears.
Jun Bubai took a few steps back, took out his sword and swept away the wind from his palm.
On the eaves, Luo Qing, the sapphire hand, stared at him with murderous intent, "How can I imitate others and do such dirty and obscene things?"
When it comes to reputation, there should be no ambiguity. Jun Bubai pointed to the room and said, "Just now, someone entered the room."
With a palm of his green jade hand, Luo Qing put the green tiles that Jun Bubai had moved away back to their original places, and with a cold look, he said, "If you were an outsider, you would still be here leisurely and happy. You are engaged to Ye Xianzi, really. If you can’t stand it any longer, why don’t you go to Jinling for a walk, stay for a few days and then come back.”
He had not proven his innocence yet, and he was caught up in Ye Xianzi's reputation. Jun Bubai hurriedly defended, "My mother-in-law is merciless. If others listen to her and make her jealous, it will ruin Ye Xianzi's reputation. She and I are not Innocent."
Luo Qing, the green jade hand, struck Jun Bubai into the hospital with a palm, "Fairy Ye's reputation is her reputation, and my lady's reputation is her floating grass."
You are speechless.
Shen Qinglan turned on the lights in the house and heard the sound of clothes being put on. "Mother-in-law, what happened outside?"
Hearing Shen Qinglan calling her, Luo Qing's sapphire hand swept down the eaves, retreated to the steps, opened the door and entered, scanning all the hiding places in the house, "It's not for nothing that an outsider has entered your house. Can you detect it?" What's strange?"
Shen Qinglan lifted the gauze curtain and stepped on the embroidered shoes on the footstool. Luo Qing went up and wrapped the fox fur at the screen around her shoulders.
Shen Qinglan coughed a few times and said softly: "There is nothing strange."
Jun Bubai, who was waiting quietly outside the house, suddenly felt a chill coming out of the house and moved a few steps towards the corner.
Luo Qing tucked up the silk quilt and gently spread the wind from her palm to the bottom of the bed. If there was someone hiding under the bed, her palm could break that person's veins. "Then go to bed early. We have to go there tomorrow." Where is Shennong Medical Center?"
"I can't sleep anymore. I'll go to sleep later." Shen Qinglan picked up the account book on the side of the bed and read through it quietly in the dim light.
There was no one else in the room. Luo Qing, the sapphire hand, dispersed his palm and said: "Don't look at it for too long, or you may damage your eyes."
Shen Qinglan nodded obediently.
After Shen Qinglan was settled, Luo Qing, the green jade hand, exited the room and looked at Jun Bubai angrily at the steps, "I will not talk to the owner about this matter today. Please restrain yourself more in the future. If you let me bump into you again, you will No more mercy."
The more I washed it, the darker it became. Jun Bubai looked helpless, "Mother-in-law, I'm really not that kind of person."
Luo Qingxun, the green jade hand, scolded: "It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. A true man should act with respect for heaven and earth. Men who steal and women who commit prostitution are not the actions of a gentleman. I hope you will reflect on yourself."
There was no point in talking any more, so Jun Bubai lowered his head and replied, "I will follow my mother-in-law's teachings."
I didn't find out the details of Mingyue, but I was caught. I can only say that I was unlucky. I escaped from the other courtyard in vain. I took a few jars of Immortal Drunk from the wine cellar in the kitchen backyard, grabbed it on the eaves, and stayed alone. Drinking wine, wine jars scattered on the ground.
Luo Qing, the green jade hand, took a tour and climbed over the wall out of Tianxialou. In the alley, there was her scallion pancake cart. She lowered her body and pretended to be an old woman. She washed her hands with mountain spring water, kneaded and woke up the noodles, boiled onion oil, and waited for the person who delivered the food to Guinong Villa in the morning.
In Shen Qinglan's room, Shen Qinglan changed his expression and grabbed it deep into the bed. The bright moon appeared in the shadows, tilting his head and snickering, "The shadow-following method that Third Sister taught me really works."
The account book in Shen Qinglan's hand fell on Mingyue's head, "If you don't stay in the building properly, you'll run away from home again."
Mingyue held her head in her hands and pouted in protest, "Second brother, I've told you many times that you are not allowed to hit your head, and you are not allowed to have a big head. You are already stupid by birth, and you will be even more stupid if you hit your head again."
Shuangyue said sarcastically: "I knew I was stupid, so I didn't study more. Is it because Master's classes are so complicated that I sneaked out?"
Mingyue's eyes were attracted by the luminous pearls hanging by the bedside. She took one off, played with it in her hand, and confided her bitterness, "I haven't fully understood so many words. Master urges me to recite poems every day. If I can't memorize, I will be fed." , if you memorize it wrongly, you’ll have to play with someone else.”
Shuangyue looked solemn and closed the account book, "Master beat you!"
Mingyue threw away the night pearl casually, took out the soy beef from her arms, untied the lotus leaves, took a bite, felt comfortable all over, shook her feet, and replied carelessly: "I took a ring, but he was gone the next day." I could only sneak out after claiming sick and taking leave."
Shuangyue crushed the account books with one palm. These account books were meant to disguise themselves. It didn't matter if they destroyed one or two. He cursed in a low voice, "That guy Gu Yue."
Mingyue stamped her feet and took a hard bite of the soy beef, "Don't mention Gu Yue, I hate him."
Shuangyue turned around and said, "When do you plan to go home."
Mingyue looked disgusted, jumped off the bed, and kept mumbling, "If you don't go back, it's good to go downstairs today. You have meat to eat every day, and you play with me every night. You don't have to read or write, and you don't have to be in trouble." Ban, don’t look at my dad’s stinky face.”
Shuangyue patiently persuaded him: "My adoptive father also does it for your own good."
Mingyue vented her anger on the beef with soy sauce, took a big bite and chewed it hard, "It's also good for me to find a husband for me."
Shuangyue's expression suddenly changed, he stood up and stood on the footstool, full of murderous intent, "What did you say?"
Mingyue put away the soy beef and wiped the oil stains from her mouth, "Second brother, do you also think that my father is too much?"
Shuangyue asked, "Which family are you from?"
Mingyue tilted her head, her eyes rolled in her sockets, racking her brains for a moment, and spit out a name, "It seems to be the second son of the household minister's family."
"I want to go back to Chang'an." Shuangyue's sleeves swayed lightly, and a fragrant breeze floated into the courtyard, leaving the dazed bright moon in the house.
In the city of Suzhou, there was a woman walking alone under the moonlight, whose fragrance was intoxicating.
Approaching the Suzhou Pier, a ghost-mist red lotus bloomed in front of her, blocking her way.
Gu Yue's voice was hoarse, scratching her bones and absorbing her soul, "There is no need to go back to Chang'an, that Hubu Shangshu and his family are no longer in this world."
Shuangyue stopped and smiled brightly, which was Gu Yue's style.
The two looked at each other from afar, like enemies and friends.
Shuangyue was the first to speak, with a frivolous look on his face, breaking the silence, "Why, you are here to take me back."
Gu Yue shook her head, "I'm just here to take the girl back. I don't want to care about your affairs, and I don't want to care about them. But in March, let me remind you that April and May have already arrived in Jiangnan. It's best to settle your matter as soon as possible. .”
Shuangyue chuckled and bent over, "Those two, one is lame and the other is deaf, can still catch me."
Gu Yue raised her hand and caught a section of the moonlight. The moonlight was soft and enveloped the sadness, "Today is my mother's death anniversary. Be careful what you say, don't make her sad."
Shuangyue raised his head, looked up at the moonlight in the sky, raised his lips, smiled lightly, and bowed to the moon with piety and respect.
There was no sound, just waiting for the watch to sound.
Shuangyue withdrew her gaze, adjusted her makeup, and said, "When I finish what I'm doing, I'll go back to the building to apologize."
Gu Yue hid in the red lotus in the ghost mist, her breath gradually disappearing, "I have to go back to Chang'an in these days. Girl, please take care of me for a while first."
When Gu Yue disappeared, Shuang Yue asked loudly: "Did you kill that master too?"
In the emptiness, someone answered, "Mother said before that you should treat scholars with courtesy. That master is a sacrificial wine from the Imperial College, so I just threatened you a few times."
Shuangyue said what she was thinking, "It's just a slap on the palm. Who is not punished by the master when she is studying? If you are still so pampering, when will she grow up and no longer rely on you and me."
In the emptiness, there was no reply. The Ghost Mist Red Lotus bloomed beside Shuangyue, and the murderous aura filled the city. "My mother said that I would always protect her. I will kill anyone who makes her unhappy, one person at a time." , a city, a country, I can bring peace to her."
Shuangyue held out a palm, and the cold wind blew away the ghostly mist lingering in front of Guyue, "You and I have lived in the shadows all our lives. She wants to walk in the sunshine, and we should teach her." How to know people's hearts, how to get along with others, how to walk in the world, how to be happy and sad."
The lonely moon turned into a shadow and went away, and his message floated in the wind, "Where there are people, the darkness of this world will never be dispelled by light."
The bright moon is in the sky, and the two moons tightly hold the fox fur on their bodies and return to the sky.
In the house, Mingyue climbed on the bed and fell asleep, always protecting the beef in her arms.
The gauze curtain is lowered in the twin moons, a sleeve of fragrant wind sweeps out the lights in the room, and I sit on the bedside to watch the bright moon.
