box of hearts

Chapter 10 Zhan Chunkui (9)
8.
The night is approaching, the sky has not yet been completely extinguished, the whole emptiness presents a light white color, but the room is already dim.

Someone came in and lit a lamp, and when the bright light in the hall revealed Qi She's figure from the dark place, it seemed that it was not the flame that lit up the place, but his handsome face with deep outlines.

The calm expression on this face shook slightly with the light, Qi She raised his eyes and looked out the window, "It's getting dark?" As if remembering something suddenly, he put aside the cinnabar red pen in his hand, stood up Get up, "Prepare your horse, Huaiyatang."

But when the two eunuchs surrounded him to undress him, he still didn't move, and finally waved his hands and said: "Forget it, you all retreat, all retreat."

He stood alone for a while, then retreated to his chair and sat down.He wanted to see Qing Tian very much, he knew that he longed to get close to her, he knew it from the first sight.And he'd have her right away if he wanted to, and she'd entertain him in ecstasy, not at all, after all, she was the best whore and would please the pickiest of men— — But Qi She would not.After seeing her eyes of death and love that night, he will never be satisfied with only possessing her lips, her breasts, her waist and legs, her exquisite body and exquisite hypocrisy Satisfaction, just like a lady wearing emerald will not be moved by the green glass.No, he wanted much more than that.

He wanted her to have the same longing for him. He wanted to touch her body not only with the entanglement of the flesh and body, but also with the soul and the soul.He knew that all this would bring him a lot of trouble, and he had already faced enough troubles in half his life: for example, he was not born crippled, his leg was crippled by others, he was crippled by his brother He was locked up like a prisoner for several years, and his former wife and son died unexpectedly... But he never thought of any of these troubles, and only such a person smiled silently, so Qi She was sure that he For the first time, I ran into the real, biggest trouble of my life.

But it wasn't the other man that worried him - Qiao Yunze, not at all.He has always been accurate in seeing people. If he doesn't make mistakes this time, he doesn't have to do anything with that man, he just needs to wait patiently.Qi She doesn't mind entering Qingtian's life later, since he has been waiting for so many years for this miraculous woman to come before him.

The Haiyan Heqing small book lamp on the table cast light and shadow on Qi She's face at the same time, he smiled slightly, thinking about his big trouble.

"Qingtian's surname is Duan, and it belongs to Huaiyatang. It has fine rhythm, calligraphy, proficiency in Ci, and pipa is excellent for a while. Comments: Yanduo Mingxia, Langhan Xianlu, fragrant heart, tenderness, tenderness, bones The fragrance beyond the sinking water, the color wins the moon of the Yao forest, the color and fragrance are in a world, and the gods will fall into disaster. The poem says: "The hibiscus comes out of the water and reveals its beauty, and it is fat and thin to fit the swallow ring. If today's people do what they did in the past, there will be no horses entering Tongguan." This song should only exist in the sky, and I don’t know where it falls into the mundane world. When I was Tang Tianbao, I would like to exchange the mountains and rivers for beauties. [10]” The man who spoke was a man in an eel-yellow shirt, holding a small book covered in red cloth. Fold, shaking his head and reading.

Next to him are two companions, both wearing Gebu gowns and Dongpo scarves on their heads. They look either dandies or chic poets.The three of them stood side by side at the entrance of Huaihua Hutong, eagerly looking inside.

One of them scratched his head and muttered, "What are you talking about?"

The man in the yellow shirt dusted off the bag in his hand, and raised his head, "My brother, you don't know. The Sophora japonica alley in central Beijing is more interesting than other places. Every year after the market opens, each small class has flower wine. In the competition, the names of the twelve ladies who got the most flowers and wine in each of the three festivals will be included in the "Twelve Flowers" of the season. From among them, people with outstanding artistic qualifications were selected and compiled into the "Ruizhu Immortal List", which also took the names of No. The same person has been selected as No. 1 for several years in a row, and what I just read was the comment on her election last year."

"Oh? That's really interesting." The other person's appetite was whetted, and he asked with staring eyes, "Duan Qingtian from Huai Yatang is the number one scholar, so who is the second place and Tan Hua?"

"Hiss", the man in the yellow shirt wet his fingers with saliva, and rubbed the past two pages, "The second place is this one, yes, 'Xizhu's surname is Duan, she is the daughter of an official family, she came to Pingkang because of wandering , unyielding and noble, clanging and sound. Gong Huqin, skilled in reciting, capable of calligraphy, good at playing chess. Comments: Good flowers contain calyx, pearls are born, Wu Jiangxian is beautiful and delicious, Zhao Hede is immersed in the moon in the cold spring, sad and romantic, romantic farewell There is ecstasy. The poem says: Chu Chulin has been passed down for a long time, and the rustling wind fights evening makeup. A Qing song lingers in the rhyme of the beams, and the flowers fall in disorder on the clothes. The wind disperses, and disperses into the sorrow of Qianqiu's daughter.'[11]”

As soon as they read it, the other two immediately said with emotion: "Although it is inevitable to whitewash this writing, it is enough to make people yearn for it."

"Since both the No. [-] scholar and the No. [-] prize are from the same school, what else is there to say? Tonight, we must first go to Huai Ya Tang to appreciate it."

After making up his mind, he walked into the alley.I saw a wide alley where cars were connected like dragons and horses, brothels gathered on both sides, and lights and festoons were hung in every house.Under the glamorous lights, I passed Liufuban, Yuhualou, Wulingchun and many other brothels all the way, and then I saw an embroidered building with red windows and fragrant steps, and a gilded agarwood signboard with a big "Huaiyatang" written on it. "Three words, a school of wealth and honor.

As soon as they stepped into the gate, there was an outfielder in black to greet them, first took a pair of triangular eyes to look at them from the head to the soles of the feet, and then smiled and saluted, "Oh, I'm sorry, sirs, There is no house today."

The three frowned together, and the man in the yellow shirt looked in first, "The girl's room is not free, so don't you have time to toast a cup of tea?"

The outfield rolled his eyes, "If you have a familiar sister, can you mention the name?"

"It can't be said that they are acquaintances, but I have heard the names of Qingtian and Xizhu for a long time."

There were two hecks in the outfield, "You guys are from other places, right? We girls from Qingtian don't have any strangers. Besides, there are already her guests who have reserved wine for today, so please show me some face at another day."

"What about Miss Xizhu?"

"Miss Xizhu is out of the game, and she will come back soon to turn the stage, so she won't be free."

The three of them were very disappointed, when they suddenly saw many servants and aunts approaching with two small sedan chairs.First, a high-spirited young man got down from the first sedan chair. His clothes were new and there were many gold and jade accessories hanging around his waist. He walked back two steps and waited in front of the last sedan chair.The four corners of the sedan chair were fringed, and the blue cloth was embroidered with baise butterflies. Out of it came an eighteen or nineteen-year-old beauty, her posture was like snow returning to the wind, and she was born with a lotus face and a willow waist. With a flick of his eye, he followed the young man into the gate.

"Master Dai, Sister Zhu, you are back. Mr. Feng has written several reminder notes..." Seeing his own parents, the outfield rushed forward and left the three idlers behind. Outside the door, let them sniff the lingering fragrance of makeup and powder with expressions of surprise and bewilderment.

It was Xi Zhu who came, with thin steps and narrow brows.The young master who accompanied her was named Dai Mingyan, and he was also a child of an aristocratic family. He only liked to hang out in the boudoir, doing some activities of writing lyrics and making music.When she ran into Xizhu at a banquet at a banquet, she was astonished and became a frequent visitor of Huaiyatang ever since.Xizhu likes that he is young and rich, gentle and infatuated, and also cited as a half-confidant, if there is any inconvenience to confide in front of other guests, she would like to express it with Dai Yan.

"You said, I was originally the daughter of an official family, but the servant girl in Qingtian came from a poor family. How can I not compare to her? Is my appearance not as good as her, or my talent is not as good as her? No matter what, my mother's heart is crooked. Since we were Qing courtiers, we left her the best out-of-the-game clothes, and then moved to Zouma Building together, and let her live in the East Wing and I live in the West Wing, anyway, everything is worse than me.”

Dai Yan's ears were obviously numb from hearing these words, and he just smiled and waved his hands, "I have only been in your business for half a year, and I have seen you and your sister Qingtian quarreling for three days and five days. The day of the cessation. Each of you is second in the list and the number one, and you will not obey anyone."

"Why don't you talk to me? Don't look at my 'good sister' who looks gentle and courteous, but actually has a cold and poisonous heart. When we were 15 years old, one day, just for fun, I took her cat Throw it in the water tank for a try, and it didn't drown. Who would have thought that she fished out all the famous goldfish in a tank of white flowers and pearls in my house that night and fed them to her cat. Another time, before the two of us were out After we quarreled, she secretly turned up my huqin by two tunes when I was out of the game, almost causing me to break my voice and make a fool of myself in front of people. It’s fine if she bullies me like this, and the other people are also helping to abuse me, not to me Sprinkling ashes in the tanner for wiping your face is like putting mud in my tea pot. All in all, this yard is full of vile-hearted sluts."

"It's true that you are a bit arrogant in your daily life, but if you follow Qingtian's example of treating the sisters with kindness and benevolence, no one will always be against you."

"Hmph, what's the point of intimacy? Qingtian is just befriending people secretly, and he is afraid that scandals will spread, so he especially wants to buy people's hearts."

"Qingtian is a benefactor with someone? With whom? One of her guests has just won the first prize in the new department. I heard that his family background is average, but he is talented. He is likely to be with him, right?"
