box of hearts

Chapter 63
Qi She sipped the cup in one gulp, Qing Tian put down the chopsticks in his hand, Qiao Shi Ying throat said: "I don't regret a glass of Linchuan wine."

"Where is this sentence?" Qi She wiped away the traces of alcohol on his mouth, "You must have made it up."

Qingtian stares roundly, "'Everywhere the clouds look away at night, and the Dongting autumn enters the orchestra. Xie Gong waits for drunkenness to dissipate hatred, and don't hesitate to have a glass of Linchuan wine." - Zhao Gu of the Tang Dynasty, "Tongzhou Nanting ". I don't know where it came from, so you say I made it up? You didn't say this sentence, and you messed up the order. You should be punished with eight glasses of wine. Mu Yun, pour eight glasses of wine, put them all in the big bowl, and bring them to the third master. "

Qi She glared and gritted his teeth, and waved his hands wildly, "It's not fair, I just asked one question, why is it considered a violation of the order? This wine is punished unfairly, so I don't want to eat it."

Mu Yun chuckled, and poured a good glass of wine, "Master forgive me, but the wine order is greater than the military order, regardless of superiority or inferiority, but the officer is the master, and the servant must obey the girl." As she spoke, she held a foot There are nearly two or two large bowls.Qingtian embraced it with his own hands, and held it in front of Qi She's face.

Since Qingtian took off the brand, whenever he took her to relax, Qi She always felt a little sad when he saw her, but these few times, he gradually recovered the lively and free-spirited when he saw her for the first time.Just looking at the smiling face in front of me that deceives Qiushui and wants to live, I am already drunk and everyone is drunk.Qi She took the wine from Qing Tian's hand willingly, drank it down, put down the bowl but put on an angry look, "Don't tell me, tell me to pour you too."

Qingtian let out a "sneer", and with a tilt of his jaw, he tossed out the pearl-like lines, "Drunk and folded flower branches for wine[6]."

Qi She praised, and thought for a while, "I only wish when the song meets the wine [7]."

With one hand holding his sleeve, Qingtian picked up the silver jug ​​in the pot with the other, and poured a full glass for Qi She again, "I advise you to drink more wine[8]."

"Huh?" He raised his hand and wiped his chin, "This local scenery is really sinister."

Qingtian just smiled slightly, "Third Master, give me a face."

"Yes, I'll save face for you." He accepted it with a smile, put the glass down, and then said loudly, "Mu Yun, say one more word."

Mu Yun said the word "jade", and Qingtian repeatedly called "boring", but Qi She praised it greatly, and after a few disputes, he still used this word.This time, Qingtian is the first.Seeing that she was not in a hurry, she added two cents less to the big wine bowl, "The jade bowl is filled with amber light [9]."

Qi She nodded in agreement, and continued: "Jasper is made up to be as tall as a tree[10]."

"Who's jade flute is flying in the dark[11]."

"Transfer to Xiaoyu and report double success[12]."

"Lantian Rinuanyu smokes [13]."

"The bright moon hangs a jade bow as a curtain."

"Can you say that again?"

"The bright moon hangs a jade bow as a curtain."

"One glass of fine wine."

Qi She was surprised, "Why?"

Qing Tian pushed the bowl of wine that was just poured over, "You drink the fine wine first, and I'll tell you why."

"That won't work, you have to say that you are ugly, and then I will be punished."

"Let me ask you, are you talking about the sixth part of "Thirteen Poems in the South Garden" by the ghost of poetry?[14]"

"Yes."

"It's a big mistake. The first sentence is 'Looking for chapters and excerpts from the old carpenter', and the second sentence is 'Xiaoyue hangs a jade bow as a curtain'. You made a mistake, why shouldn't you be punished? Wrong, I'm really ashamed." Qingtian giggled, scraping his face twice with his fine fingers, gesturing to shame him.

Some very subtle things made Qi She's face darken, and he snorted coldly through his nose: "If you want to win two stars and have a brilliant literary talent, the girl should go to your number one scholar."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it.All the expressions on Qingtian's face were like a flying bird that was pierced by a sharp arrow and fell with a bang, the pale face was dripping with invisible blood.Completely involuntarily, he hurriedly raised his hand to shake her hand, but Qingtian pulled his hand away.

Zhou Dun and Mu Yun looked at each other, then left without a word.But there are still some other things in the room, which are numerous and cold, like snow falling outside the window.

After a long time, Qi She cleared her throat, "I'm sorry, I said something wrong."

Qingtian said calmly: "I said the wrong thing. The prince is busy with state affairs and worried about the world, how can he care about these trivial things? What's more, the play of words is worthless in the first place." ?'”[15]
"It's like you're swearing." He stared at her intently for a while, and the corner of his mouth slightly slanted, "I'm just in a hurry, and I'm as knowledgeable as you. You, everything is fine, except that your eyesight is worse."

Qingtian smiled, and his smile was filled with the cold fragrance of osmanthus orchid musk deer, "Why is the third master's vision better than mine? The champion of 'that person' was also circled by the third master himself. Let this jackal be the Daoming Hall. I am afraid that in the future, it will not only be my generation of women who will suffer from it, but the whole world."

If there is a faint smile on Qi She's face, "Talk of gold and stone. But the way to choose people is to use them like tools and take advantage of their strengths. You can't stick to one style. As the old saying goes, 'Evil people still need Wicked people grind', Wangmen's cabinet is deeply rooted and cunning, and it cannot be eradicated by any means. There are some dirty things that I don't want to do by myself, so I need someone like Qiao Yunze who is talented but has a cold personality. He The son-in-law Zhang Yanshu and Zhang Yanshu are rare talents in this troubled world. As for the stability of the great government, it is inevitable to kill the donkey and let the upright ministers revive the court. On that day, you just don’t take off your hairpin and kneel down , Please use your own body to replace the crime."

Obviously, the last sentence reminded Qingtian of that scene: she fell at Qi She's feet, she worked hard at every word, and she was willing to suffer a thousand cuts for Qiao Yun.It was the red lantern that Yexuan shone in front of her face, which directly reflected into a pair of eyes now, both of which were blood red, and she laughed, "Now that I think about it, it's so far away——so stupid."

"That hurdle in my heart, still can't get over it?"

"It's over, it's over long ago. I used to feel that I didn't ask him for anything, why did he treat me like this? After reading the scriptures for three months, I gradually realized that the biggest debt is to ask for nothing. , he owes me in this life, just because I owed him in the previous life. Pay it back, anyway, this life is not clear, and the next life will have to continue to pay back. "

After Qi She heard this, he was silent for a while, and looked over from a distance, "Then how much did I owe you in my previous life?" As if he understood that the other party had no way of answering, he didn't need her to answer, and just took the wine bowl. Swallowing the floating wine at the bottom of the bowl in one gulp, he grabbed the holding pot and filled it up with a "gudong gudong", "I will eat the fine wine, and I will eat five more glasses to pay for the wrongdoing."

After only a few sips, he drank half of the bowl of wine, exhaling a long and mellow smell, "Come on, it's your turn. Zhou Dun, the wine is gone!"

Zhou Dun and Mu Yun went in one after another, peeking at the expressions of their masters.Mu Yun's eyes landed on Qing Tian's hand - one hand was clenched into a fist, tightly pressed against his abdomen.She hastily leaned over and asked Qingtian's ear: "Girl, do you feel sick to your stomach again?"

Only then did Qi She notice, and with a crossed hand, he stopped Zhou Dun, "Go get the Hewei Pill first."

The shape of the medicine is like black beans, with sweetness and astringency. Qingtian has been used to taking it for the past few months. The secret medicine from the imperial pharmacy has miraculous effects. Her stomach pain has become less and less, so she has not experienced it for a long time. Such violent stomach cramps came over, as if thousands of hands were pulling the viscera and swinging on a swing. The pain made her eyes burst into golden flowers, and she could only see someone handing her a glass of water and a pill.

Qing Tian let go of his clenched lips, and swallowed the medicine with water.

Qi She took back the empty cup, held it in his hand, and fixed his eyes on Qingtian.She didn't say a word, but her back was bowed deeply, and she was sweating coldly.

"Mu Yun," he stood up, limped quickly and folded a fan in the west of the room, "Help your girl to this side, there is a bed inside, cover the quilt there for a while, and the medicine will come out soon alright."

Half an hour later, Qingtian woke up under a tent, Qi She had already left, and only Mu Yun was watching her, helping her to sit up with his hands, and sighed in relief, "Suddenly committing such a serious crime scares me to death." It's good. Fortunately, the third master is careful, and he actually asked the servant to bring medicine with him."

Qingtian tugged at the golden satin quilt on his body, and smiled as white as snow.She wanted to know who had another medicine for another pain, a heart-piercing pain thousands of times stronger than stomach pain.

And the snow outside the window seems to never stop.

4.
When the snow stopped, it was already returning home.Not many days later, the peach charms were replaced with old ones, and the plum blossoms were fragrant, and the New Year came.

The brothels in Huaihua Hutong have settled accounts before the festival, and there are usually no customers before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, on New Year's Eve, the madams lead their own fans to spend together. Make dumplings, set off firecrackers, and have a round circle.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, two strings of firecrackers woke up the girls in Huaiyatang.This is the day of the year, and it is morning when everyone opens their eyes.Qingtian, who had been in retreat for several months, dressed lightly, and Zhaohua, Diexian, and Fengqin had even more slick hair and clean faces. Duoxia's natal family was in the city, and she and her family had a New Year's Eve dinner and rushed back early in the morning.All the sisters followed Second Sister Duan to offer three or five offerings in front of the Baimei God in the outer hall. Before the ceremony was over, they saw the turtle slaves bringing in several horses.

In ancient times, there are two types of urinals: the ones for men are called "huzi" with a narrow mouth, and the ones for women are called "horse".Seeing that one of the blue-and-white porcelain horses was his little drowning tool at night, Zhaohua couldn't help staring, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what do you use this pickled thing for?"
