Chapter 94 The Biography of Concubine Mei

In the lonely mountain, a lonely lamp was burning in the study, stubbornly fighting against the surrounding night.

A woman with long hair like a waterfall was lying on the table, obviously falling asleep.

The night was quiet, with only the sound of the night wind blowing against the window lattice.

Suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door, waking the woman up from her sleep. She rubbed her sore arms, and the woman frowned and said to herself, "Who, it's the master coming back this late at night, right? Hey, how could I?" Fell asleep?"

Complaints are nothing but complaints, she still came to the courtyard with an oil lamp and opened the door.

It was not Lin Bu outside the door, but Du Qingshan. When he saw Song Guichen, he asked anxiously:
"Xiaochen, have you seen Brother Gu?"

Unconsciously, Song Guichen raised the oil lamp and took a look at the anxious Du Qingshan: "Since I told Brother Gu the truth last time, I haven't seen him, what's wrong with Brother Gu?"

"Hmm..." Du Qingshan took the lamp from Song Guichen's hand, "From this point of view, Brother Gu is likely to be taken away by people from the state capital."

"what?"

Song Guichen exclaimed, Wang Qinruo caught Big Brother Gu?

Where did he get so much courage?
Not to mention that Gu Ti Xing is a punishment prison in Liangzhe, but even Gu Yi, who is now a justifiable pusher of the Ti Xing Division, sent people to kidnap the imperial court official. If he, Wang Qin, thinks that he has worn the black gauze hat on his head for too long?

As if anticipating what Song Guichen was thinking, Du Qingshan said: "Wang Qinruo naturally can't do such a reckless move, but the people under him may not be certain."

Then he said: "Uncle Wu just came back from Liuyifang. According to the news he inquired, Brother Gu today... oh no, yesterday he rescued Liu Fengchun from Wang Qinruo's men in the Pingkang Pavilion, during which time Gu Erlang kicked Lin Xiandao a few times in public. .”

"I kicked a few kicks soon..."

"Uh, it depends on where the kick is played."

Du Qingshan thought of how Uncle Wu was laughing and describing the scene at that time, and deeply sympathized with Lin Xiandao for a moment. Gu Erlang had nothing else but all his strength.

Tsk tsk tsk, that sourness, Du Qingshan didn't need to think about it, how miserable it must be.

"Where did you kick it?" Song Guichen was at a loss.

"Well, that's not the point." Du Qingshan hurriedly changed his subject, "The point is, when Lin Xiandao is angry, he might order people to harm Brother Gu."

Song Guichen was anxious: "Then what should I do?"

"Don't worry, Xiaochen. Uncle Wu has already gone to investigate. There should be news soon."

Du Qingshan took down a copy of "Illustrations of Jiangnan" from the bookshelf familiarly, turned to the page about Hangzhou, pointed to the well-detailed map in the book, and thought:
"The Pingkang Museum is located in the area of ​​Qingbo Gate. The shortest road from here to the Tixing Division is along the Xiaoxi River to the north. The Xiaoxi River Wharf is currently transporting relief food to the Huainan area. Could it be..."

"Could it be what?"

"If Lin Xiandao did it, Xiao Chen thinks, where would he send Brother Gu?"

"The state prison?"

Du Qingshan shook his head: "Earlier, Han Song and Wang Qinruo colluded to imprison Meng Tianyin and Xiao Yi in the prison of the state capital. Lin Xiandao will not do this again. In addition, if Brother Gu is imprisoned in the state capital, it will inevitably alarm Wang Qinruo, Lin Xiandao Not asking for trouble."

"Didn't Lin Xiandao obey Wang Qinruo? How dare he arrest Brother Gu behind Wang Qinruo's back?"

Du Qingshan smiled: "You think too simply about the affairs between the government. Lin Xiandao and Wang Qinruo are veterans in the officialdom, so there is no such thing as obedience, it's just because of interests."

"I really don't understand." Song Guichen frowned in confusion, "No wonder Master doesn't want to be an official. The officialdom is too complicated."

"If everyone was as simple as Xiaochen, with all their thoughts written on their faces, then there would be no conspiracy in this world, and no wives would be separated."

Song Guichen squinted: "I'm simple-minded?"

"Women who can cook have simple minds."

"Du Qingshan, why do I feel that you are hurting me?"

"How dare, how dare."

After closing the book, Du Qingshan said:

"This is a sincere compliment from me. My mother said that a girl who can cook is the most virtuous. If you meet a woman who can cook, you must marry her—"

Snapped!
A book fell over.

Du Qingshan didn't dodge it, a book that was neither thin nor thick happened to fall into Du Qingshan's arms, looking at the instigator, she saw her brows stand on end, exasperated:
"Du Qingshan, you want to die, don't you!"

Du Qingshan tidied up the books in a funny way, put them on the table, and said leisurely: "Xiaochen even hates to hit me in the face, what is it if it is not virtuous?"

Snapped! !

Another book was thrown at him. Du Qingshan had expected this, tilted his head to one side, reached out to catch the book that was thrown at him, looked at the title, and teased, "The Biography of Concubine Mei?"

Song Guichen didn't have the shyness of being found reading miscellaneous books, but explained with a normal expression:
"This is the most popular storybook in various wine shops and brothels recently. It is the work of the storyteller Liu Fengchun crying blood. It has been added and deleted several times on the basis of "Biography of Concubine Mei" written by Cao Ye in the late Tang Dynasty. The little girls like to listen to it."

"This story was originally compiled by Liu Fengchun?"

"That's right." Song Guichen said, "If I hadn't been familiar with the owner of Wanjuan Bookstore, I wouldn't have been able to buy this script."

Du Qingshan opened the "Biography of Concubine Mei", and scanned it at a glance.

The story is roughly the same as Cao Ye's "Biography of Concubine Mei", but more details were compiled to make people feel more pity for the weak and beautiful Concubine Mei, and dissatisfaction with the famous and scheming Concubine Yang.

It's just that there seems to be an ulterior motive in these words.

Concubine Mei is like the loyal admonisher, while Concubine Yang is the treacherous minister who bullies others.

As for Tang Minghuang...it naturally alludes to the current officials.

Du Qingshan read it with great interest, and couldn't help but praise: "This Liu Fengchun is a wonderful person."

Song Guichen said: "That's natural, I have all the scripts compiled by him here, do you want to read them all?"

Most of Liu Fengchun's stories are drawn from history, especially the life of emperors from Han Chengdi, Sui Yangdi, Tang Xuanzong to Song Huizong.

This "Biography of Concubine Mei" is no exception. Anyone who is interested will be able to read the meaning once they read it.

Song Guichen often sweats for his boldness.

"No, we'll see you another day." Du Qingshan stood up, "Uncle Wu is here."

He came to the courtyard and opened the gate, and sure enough, in the distance, someone was coming towards here with a lamp.

This person's ears are rabbits, right?
Song Guichen thought to himself, he could hear it from such a distance?
"People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes." Du Qingshan looked at a lonely lamp in the distance and said with a smile.

"You—how do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Didn't I say that, Xiaochen has a simple mind, and everything is written on his face."

Song Guichen was speechless and decided to turn over the topic.

　I like the character of the storyteller, hahaha.So I decided to write more about Liu Fengchun.
