atypical prostitute

Chapter 223
The next day, as soon as breakfast was finished, the porter came to report that Mrs. Yangzhou governor had come to apologize with Qian Qilang in custody.

Li Ci gave Qian Qilang a little pony. Although she had a heart to win over, she also really liked Qian Qilang's temperament of clear grievances and grievances, so Mrs. the governor came to the door to accuse her. Praise up and down.The governor's wife has always loved her younger brother very much, and today's visit is also a helpless move after careful consideration with her husband. Seeing that the manager's wife has a somewhat sincere liking for Qilang, she is secretly happy. Although her face is still covered with frost, she is also Thin ice under the spring sun.

So they had a great time, and Li Ci even kept them together for lunch.During the banquet, Mrs. Governor's sister and younger brother were flattering, and it can be said that the guests and hosts had a good time.

When it was time to bid farewell, it was already time for a nap, Li Ci leaned on the couch, and the singer played the sheng during the dinner.These women are all the wives and daughters of officials who were convicted. They were originally from good families, but they were dragged into the teaching workshop by men.

Of course, not everyone is safe and sound.There are always some people with higher hearts than the sky, dreaming of having a courtyard of their own in the backyard of the general manager's mansion. Fortunately, they are not really stupid. The dowry is given to the military officers and advisers who have close contacts with the general manager's mansion.

So he faded away from the heart of flying up the branches to become a phoenix, and when he served the manager's wife, he did his best.

However, today Li Ci's heart is extremely irritable, the music and music are peaceful, and only noise is left in her ears.

She raised her head and looked out the window.

The water lilies by the pool are stretching their leaves in the afternoon sun. As usual, the jasper is flawless. Yun'er just woke up from a nap and is playing with her servants. There is a slightly sweet fragrance in the air, which is Yun'er's innate Lotus scent.

Ever since Yun'er was born three years ago, Li Ci has fallen in love with this smell, the elegance is mixed with the sweetness of milk, and every time she inhales it, it brings sweetness to her heart.But since knowing about Tianziqi, the sweetness has been tinged with a touch of pain, as if an invisible big net is falling between the heaven and the earth, falling on her and Yun'er, so heavy that they can't breathe.

After tossing and turning for a long time, the heart still couldn't calm down, Li Ci ordered the singers to retreat, turned over and stayed on the bed, and took out the Fuxiqin presented by Jun Fengxi.

The plane is made of phoenix trees, the base is made of fir wood, the whole body is painted purple lacquer, the round head and double-connected curved waist are retracted, the snake belly is faintly broken, the thirteen emblems are made of red gold, and Yueshan is a piece of red sandalwood. Beautiful jade, matched with crystal-clear silk strings, the fingers are light and slippery, making it warm and loose, clear and moist.

Have a good violin.

Sitting upright on the piano platform, she raised her fingers several times, but did not dare to drop them. She was worried that her clumsy fingers would stain Meiqin, and that her messy thoughts would pollute the melody.

The qin is a tool of a gentleman, but how many people in the government and the opposition can be called a gentleman?
Li Ci no longer intends to fight for the position of King Liang in the eyes of the world.Just like Xiao Zhiqian's evaluation, Xiao Yan is a talented person with both morality and morality, but he has no choice but to be decisive. He hesitates and looks forward and backward when encountering problems.

But contempt for King Liang does not mean that he will not pose a threat to himself. King Liang has been able to stand in the court all these years, and his methods are so ingenious that he should not be underestimated.

Of course, what worries Li Ci most is the follow-up of Tianziqi.

In the name of tight borders, take away Ye Chuan's influence in Jiangnan?Or ask Ye Chuan Duanwu to lead the fleet to Beijing to meet him?
Although the Empress Dowager can't ask about politics, she is the birth mother after all, so she still has some power.

It was King Wei who worried Li Ci the most.The king of Wei was ambitious and had to give up the throne due to the situation, but his heart was never really peaceful.These years, the regent has been holding the power, so it is inevitable that he will be full of ambitions, thinking that everything is ready and giving birth to the idea of ​​spying.

Originally, the edict to pass on the throne to the king of Wei was a move by Lici to make the king of Wei and the new emperor have a heart demon. The Ye family in military power was regarded as an obstacle to ascending the throne.

Three points of power are the most stable and the most disputed.

Thinking of this, Li Ci couldn't help but sigh that she was worrying unnecessarily. She took the incense box and added some incense to the Boshan stove.Unexpectedly, I was restless in my heart, and I plucked it for a long time, but the restlessness did not go away for a long time, even the music of the fish sucking water and the swallow holding the flower played a bit murderous.

Li Ci finally sighed and put down the Fuxiqin, realizing that she really couldn't play the piano due to her state of mind.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the lights of the general manager's mansion were turned on one after another. Looking out of the window, I saw the long corridor reflected in the water, the wind was blowing, the waves were soft, and the stars were shining, which was very beautiful.

"Why did it stop?"

A voice as soft as water sounded, but it was startled in my ears. Li Ci turned her head and saw a pair of pupils as deep as autumn water.

"How did you come?"

"Can't you go to Jiangnan if you have nothing to do?"

Talking casually, Jun Fengxi walked up to the Fuxiqin, lightly hooked her fingers, and there was a gurgling sound like a stream, which made Li Ci's restless heart feel a little calm.

"Sir is worthy of being a national player."

She flattered her compliments, and Jun Fengxi said with a smile: "Why do you say such insincere words, in fact, I wish I could be broken into pieces... The song just now has a strong killing intent."

Li Ci didn't change his face and said: "Recently, I have been entangled in trivial matters, how can I be calm. I made my husband laugh."

"Yes, there are indeed a lot of gossip recently."

Smiling meaningfully, Jun Fengxi retracted her fingers, glanced at Li Ci, and suddenly said: "It's getting late, I should go see my nephew too." After finishing speaking, she got up and left.

Almost at the moment when he disappeared, a servant knocked on the door and asked his wife to move to a side room for dinner. Although Li Ci had doubts about Jun Fengxi's sudden appearance, he was also a little happy when he thought of him coming to Yangzhou. In the meantime, the irritability that had lasted for several days was cured without treatment.

……

……

Passing through the winding and slender water corridor, I arrived at Chu Qing's room.

The room is furnished simply, one bedroom and one study room. There are three rows of bookshelves in the study room, all of which are ancient rare books, bamboo slips and booklets. The contents include ancient legends, Taoist mind-cultivation classics, teachings of sages, chess records, music scores and so on.Outside the window is facing the pond made of stones in Taihu Lake. The flowing water in the pond nourishes the young lotus leaves.

In summer, the lotus leaves are in the sky, the lotus is like jade, and the sleeves are full of fragrance.

It's a pity that it was a long time later. Chu Qing, who didn't know that his uncle had arrived in Yangzhou, was sitting cross-legged in front of the table in a daze.

In the censer, mixed with a little elegant white lotus incense, which is the incense powder from Xiaozhushan, he didn't know why, and suddenly became upset, only the white lotus incense mist could drive away a little bit of irritability.

This residence was chosen by him for himself, surrounded by water and seldom visited by people, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't see anything, it was the most calming place.I read books every day, play with musical instruments, and go outside when I am free, watching swallows paddling in the water and lotus leaves gradually unfurling.Although the days are dull, he has been used to it since he was a child.

Today, however, he lost his composure.

The sunshine at the end of spring and the beginning of summer always brings a lazy atmosphere. Bathing in it, the body and mind are refreshed and sleepy.

There were faint footsteps in the haze, and Chu Qing raised his head, and saw a few picturesque women coming with exquisite local delicacies from Yangzhou. Put the snacks on the table, and the money will be refunded.

Since Bigu, Chu Qing has no reliance on food, but seeing these little girls are cute and fragrant, aroused a little interest, so he picked up a book, flipped through it and pinched the hibiscus mille-feuille cake , took a sip carefully, it melted in the mouth, light and slightly bitter, it really took a lot of thought.

Those slaves didn't retreat immediately either. Yangzhou women are versatile. They play the piano, hold the pipa, blow the flute or sing at the railing of the water corridor.

Chu Qing listened to a lot of music, including country tunes and court music, but the performances of these young girls from Yangzhou had a special taste.Can't help but secretly think, it really is one side of water and soil that raises one side's people, Yangzhou has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the women born are all as soft and charming as water.

As he sang and whispered, his eyes gradually became a little blurred. He raised his eyelids and saw that the beauty was like a flower in the mist like a moon in the water. He couldn't see the face clearly, but he could feel the soul-like beauty.

"Who……"

He muttered, stretched out his hand, pointed at the woman in the middle, and said drowsily, "...you...that's you...come here..."

The woman sitting in the middle stood up as she said, and walked towards him with light steps. Every step made his heart filled with anticipation and worry. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but after lifting his finger, It has become an ambiguity of holding hands.

Three feet... two feet...

The woman is getting closer and closer, and her face is becoming more and more blurred. In the blink of an eye, she is within reach.

...Have you had a nightmare?
He was thinking nervously, the woman had already walked in front of her, her head bowed slightly, Qianqian's slender hands raised the white gauze, revealing her cherry lips... the small tip of her nose...

Sudden--

A gust of breeze blew past, making his body tremble. Chu Qingqiang, who woke up from the dream, braced himself up and found that there were no Yangzhou snacks on the table, and there were no slaves playing the piano and flute on the railing, but the Boshan stove in front of him, the ashes had already Burn out, leaving only a room sweet and greasy.

Unknowingly, he was possessed by a demon!
Chu Qing thought regretfully, the inner demon comes from nature, it is the desire that does not know when to infect it, he has heard about the difficulty of obliterating the inner demon, but a woman who only hears her voice but never sees her will become her own. However, Chu Qing's inner demons were far beyond Chu Qing's expectations.

When did I become so fragile!
Did Master Uncle know that I would encounter my demons in Yangzhou!

The appointment at Daming Temple on the [-]th of this month, I...should... go or avoid it!

Chu Qing was thinking impatiently, and suddenly raised his head, only to see a peach blossom by the pool was still in full bloom at the end of spring and early summer, with the breeze coming, the light pink petals fell with the wind, scattered in the lake, and spun around , unwilling to be reduced to this.

evildoer!

Chu Qing thought angrily, moved his long sleeves slightly, and a sword qi flew out, cutting off the blooming tree that was still shining in late spring!
The peach tree fell into the water dragging colorfully. In an instant, the peach blossoms filled the pond, which was shockingly beautiful. Chu Qing's eyes were red, and he turned around forcibly, unaware that the hair band was broken, and his long hair was hanging down, looking crazy.

I have not been infected with a demon, how could I be infected with a demon!

He thought frantically, grabbed the gold-painted peony inlaid eight-treasure lacquer incense box from Xiaozhu Mountain, and wanted to throw it into the water, but when he was dying, he had a thought and took it back into his arms.

On April [-]th, in front of Daming Temple, slay the heart demon!
