Chapter 57：

Until he returned to Cheng Mansion, Shaoshang remained silent, leaning against the wall of the car in a daze.

Cheng Cha was worried and asked, "Is there any other female son who is bullying you at the table?" Huan, did not pay attention to others.

Shao Shang sneered: "Borrow them both?!"

Mrs. Xiao also noticed her daughter's low mood and asked, "Which parent in Lou's family gave you a look?" Mrs. Lou was obviously persuaded by her husband. Words and deeds; but such a big family, it is inevitable that there are individual thorns.

Shao Shang said proudly: "Who dares? I'll let Ayao not recognize this parent for the rest of his life!"

The inquiries were unsuccessful, so Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to let her daughter go back to the house. Seeing that she was still listless during dinner, she drooped her head and returned to her place before eating a few bites. That night, a clear flute sounded suddenly in the courtyard of the Cheng Mansion, tactfully and low, like weeping. The tune is not sad, but a kind of confusion and loss of not knowing the way back.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't sleep, opened her eyes and listened for a long time, suddenly got up to open the curtain to go out, but was caught by her husband from behind.

Cheng Shi closed his eyes and said, "I advise you not to go."

Mrs. Xiao frowned and said, "I felt inappropriate when I came out of Lou's house today. No, I have to ask."

Cheng Shi didn't even open his eyelids: "If you ask, will you say it?"

Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "Then I'll ask the maid next to her."

"Don't go. Just curl up with that pair of hearts. You can ask her with the front foot and the back foot. Do you think she will be happy that you ask the people around her?" Cheng Shi changed his sleeping position, "You mother and daughter have managed to ease up a bit recently, so don't make trouble again."

"Aren't you worried about something on her mind?"

"Aside from ignorant boys, fools have nothing to worry about. The size of the curl is about to get married, so can't there be someone who is sad?"

"It's sad for the spring and the autumn, not the east and the west."

"Okay, it's okay to hurt anything, just don't hurt your body. Oh, my father still went early, it's only been a long time since you learned to play the flute, and you can play it so well, people who listen to it feel sour. Yes. If Father is still here, we can leave Ya Ya in the capital. Maybe we can teach you a world-renowned family!”

Mrs. Xiao was silent, and after a while, she said, "Can you fall asleep just listening to her keep blowing?"

"Why can't I fall asleep. In the past, when my father was not happy, he liked to play some sad and bitter songs in the middle of the night. Sometimes he played the flute, sometimes the piano, and sometimes the drum and cymbal. We brothers and sisters do not You all slept well! Okay, you lie down too."

Mrs. Xiao sat on the head of the bed for a long time before thinking: Uncle Jun who passed away is really not easy.

, can't see any distractions.

Lou Yao originally wanted to come to the house every day, but Lou Tai servant couldn't bear his temper no matter how good he was. Who hasn't been a husband-in-law, and he has to have a sense of proportion to his wife's family. It's like he's never been a bride in his life, and he has lost all face of Lou's family. The people waiting for recommendation as an official at the entrance of the North Palace are better than his own nephew. The face of the child is reserved!

Then Shao Shang miraculously discovered that since Lou Yao couldn't come to the door every day, all his brothers were smooth-tempered and kind-hearted.

"Don't you look down on Ayao?" Shao Shang was puzzled, so he secretly asked his twin brother.

Cheng Shaogong said: "We don't despise Young Master Lou, but we despise you. Whenever we see him, he laughs like Erwang next door biting a chicken leg." Wang is a yellow dog.

The result of this conversation was that Shaoshang was furious, dumped the whole box of Boqi on Cheng Shaogong's head, and never wanted his brothers to lead out.

As soon as Mrs. Xiao praised Shaoshang in front of her sons, Cheng Shaogong began to slander with the wound on her forehead: "Mom, I am afraid that managing housework will delay her going out. Do her own business, she has been going out these days, and she doesn't ask us to accompany her!" In the past, it was their brothers who accompanied the younger sister to go out!

Cheng Song's mouth moved, and he and his eldest brother Cheng Yong looked at each other. The two brothers lowered their heads and said nothing-because they once saw Yuan Shen send his younger sister back, and they didn't separate until the entrance of the alley. .

After the incident, their brothers also secretly asked Shaoshang, who knew that Shaoshang had a bright face: "I have met twice, but there is no third time, it is all about uncles and aunts. "

Yuan Shen is Yuan Shen, and his style of conduct has not changed at all. He asked people to stare at the door of Cheng Mansion again, and when he saw Cheng Shaoshang's golden red car with burning buns coming out, he let the servants go all the way Follow along to repay yourself—it should be very pleasing to meet talented people and beautiful people. It would be better if the place where they met twice was not so strange.

Ugly charcoal-burning in-laws.

The next meeting was in a mill not far from the city. Facing the chaff and fine noodles flying in the air, the talented and beautiful women were raised with pink, white, gray and yellow on their faces. Just change your clothes and you can take over the mill.

The Master has settled down in the mountains, what's up? He wants to deliver a letter to me again, but I won't do it!"

"You didn't listen to what I said!"

Before he said ten words in total, Young Master Yuan was almost coughed out of his lungs by the smoke.

Yuan Shen is depressed, he has never been in an iron shop, okay, everyone is almost cooked, and he can't breathe.

"I'm not asking you to deliver the letter, the master only needs to know that Mrs. Sang is doing well. If there is anything he can help, Mrs. Sang and Uncle Ling can't tell, you tell me quietly, Master Huangfu Help me if I can... What are you doing looking at me like that... It's nothing else, it's just that the Master wants to feel better in his heart."

Shao Shang said with a smile: "It's almost the same. What my aunt did for the Huangfu family back then was just a little bit. If the master can understand it, then I will answer for my aunt." Affordable things of course to promise.

"And..." Yuan Shen looked gloomy, "I'm going to see the marriage."

Shao Shang laughed: "This is a serious matter. The old people say that the more you choose, the less good ones will be left. It's better to cut the mess with a quick knife. When the time comes, Ayao and I will come to your door to congratulate you. what!"

Yuan Shen was annoyed, his white jade-like cheeks flushed slightly, he said bitterly: "No one's quick knife can be like you, when someone mentions a kiss, you immediately agree, I knew earlier, I knew earlier... "Speaking, he put his legs on the horse's belly, turned the horse's head vigorously, and quickly drove the horse away, leaving only the sound of horses' hoofs at the entrance of the alley.

Shao Shang touched his nose, pretended not to understand anything, and went back home happily.

A few more days passed, and at the brightest time of the year, a scholar in Guozijian suddenly presented to the emperor a few old books with prophecies, which seemed to mean 'the East has Suffering, will respond, to the spirit'.

Originally, he was supposed to go hunting in person, but the emperor was kind and said that when spring is the time when all things multiply, it should not be excessively slaughtered, so he changed hunting as a sacrifice, and offered various grains and grains to the mountain spirits . The Confucian scholars naturally sang praises, praising how wise and benevolent the emperor was.

After doing this, the emperor brought his concubine and the poor clan, and ordered a group of officials to go to Tu Gaoshan to offer sacrifices - Father Cheng was also selected. Although this time is a sacrifice, in Shaoshang's view, it is more like a large-scale spring outing picnic, because officials who are selected to go with them can also bring their family members.

After most of the day, we finally arrived at Tu Gaoshan.

It was not too late for them to arrive, at this time there were people everywhere at the foot of the mountain. Looking from a distance, with the most striking black-trimmed vermilion-gold-topped tent in the center as the axis, the various private tents spread out on all sides for several miles.

The more than ten tents of Yuhou's family are all indigo blue brocade tents inlaid with pale ivory carvings, noble and dignified; There are colorful tents of various colors piled up in one place; another example is General Han who likes to show off his style. The dozen or so tents in his home are all made of green bamboo and blue cloth.

The people they provoked were both envious and funny, and they also provoked a series of angry reprimands from the queen. Xuanhou had no choice but to tear down an ordinary tent overnight.

The Wancheng family set up a tent in one place as usual, and the family jokingly ate and chatted together, but it was a pity that there was a superstitious ceremony the next morning. Vegetable cake bait, and fish soup boiled with freshly caught fish and shrimp from the stream down the mountain. I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect of less business, but she always felt that this sacrifice seemed to be about the content.

When it was not dawn, Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi dressed in neat official robes and rushed to the imperial tent. It was over all morning.

Wan Eqi and Cheng Song went to participate in the archery jockeying competition set up by the old master of the class. Cheng Yong wanted to find some papers from his classmates, but was dragged away by the Yin family brothers and sisters who came to the door ahead of time. Cheng Shaogong originally wanted to stay in the tent and read a book, but he habitually made a divination before unfolding the scroll, and came up with a precise hexagram image of 'it is not advisable to stay in place before the first moment of Shen Shichu', he touched his nose and had to go out for a while. Fan.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wan sat and chatted with each other, Cheng Cha stayed obediently as usual, and when she saw Shao Shang came out, she also told her that Lou Yao had come to see her, so she didn't bother to see her resting , was also taken by Cheng Erge.

Along the way, I met a little girl who was chatting and laughing, a scholar who accompanied her, and even almost surprised several pairs of wild mandarin ducks. Passing by a bunch of flower trees, she also picked a few garlands braided into one and put them on the little flower horse's head.

She didn't love many people since she was a child, and she walked with her back to Tu Gaoshan to the four hills. Who knows that she didn't ride far, and she saw Yuan Shen and a group of scribes dressed up by the stream in front of her. The young man was cooking wine and chanting in the pavilion. Fortunately, she was wearing a hat and no one recognized her, so she quickly patted the little flower horse on the neck and turned away.

As she rode, she thought, why is she always easy to be met by others, that is because she always likes to run by the water, if she doesn't want to meet acquaintances again, maybe she should change her mind, instead Walking towards, for example... Shao Shang looked up and saw a small pavilion-style wooden tower on a hill not far away.

Shao Shang's heart moved, she was just about to see how magnificent the scene of the emperor's account and honor was everywhere, but unfortunately, her father's official position is not enough, so she couldn't get close to see it. Looking down from above.

Having made up his mind, Shaoshang quickly rode his horse and rode to a distance of several dozen feet from the pagoda. The hills were densely covered with gravel and the roads were tall and rugged. She cherished the young and tender hooves of Xiao Hua Ma, so she tied it to the woods beside her, and walked up the mountain with her skirt up.

word, then pushed the door and entered while shouting 'someone is there'. After shouting a dozen times at a high voice, Shao Shang found that there was no one in the tower, so he turned back and closed the tower door and walked inside carefully.

This is a new pagoda built by nearby villagers with money to worship the newly emerging religious idols. Although the interior of the whole pagoda is not very elaborate, the wood is strong and new, and the tungsten paint is also Shining, cleaning is very clean, Shao Shang climbed up layer by layer, and climbed seven floors before reaching the top of the tower.

Shao Shang stroked his violently undulating chest, panting while looking at the familiar little stone statue enshrined at the top of the tower, he couldn't help laughing - that's right! But now this stone statue still has a bit of primitive hideousness. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, it will become a kind-hearted Ami tofu!

Shao Shang wanted to open the window to look, but when he looked up, he found that there was a skylight on the roof.

Before she became Taimei's reserve, she was an urchin first. She could be selected as the top three in the town for her skills of climbing trees and climbing walls. The slender but well-trained body climbed up dexterously.

Through the skylight and turned to the roof, the warm spring sunshine spreads all over the body, Shaoshang took a deep breath and felt comfortable. Looking around, I saw a crowd of horses and tents as small as ant dolls under the Tugao Mountains, which looked like colorful lights in a kaleidoscope under the brilliant sunshine.

This feeling is really tempting, Shao Shang simply lay flat on the gently sloping roof, covered his face with his sleeves, and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility and warm sunbathing. Unexpectedly, after lying down, he fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up again, the sun was already in the west.

Shao Shang patted his head and squeaked. She remembered that Mrs. Xiao had ordered that the emperor would entertain the ministers tonight, and the queen would entertain the family members of the ministers. She must rush back before the two quarters of the hour, when everyone was seated but she was missing. Although it was a feast, but If someone with a heart sees it and then file a complaint, the trouble is not small.

There was no watch at this time, and the young merchant did not know what time it was, so he quickly lifted the skylight to hold it up, and then slid down the same path, and before leaving the seventh floor, he bowed to the stone statue Bye, who knew she had just reached the sixth floor when she vaguely heard someone's voice in the wing.

—This tower is the most common hexagonal structure, except that the seventh floor is a small attic dedicated to stone statues, and the lower six floors are of the same size and structure. A small half of the hexagonal flat is used for stair passages, and the rest is divided into two halves, half of which are wing rooms and the other half of which are flats leading to the balustrade terrace.

Shao Shang was ignorant, and still couldn't figure out the situation. He climbed the handrail of the stairs and listened closely. He heard two people talking inside, but the words were not clear:

"...Prince this time, it's too late to see things, and within two hours, he found someone to explain the prophecy and escaped..."

"...if...it would be great...how can such a temperament be worthy of the position of the prince...wasting the reserve is imperative...!"

Shaoshang's vest was sweating coldly, and she was afraid. This kind of fear was different from before, as if a piece of cold cast iron was stuffed into her chest, falling down and overflowing with cold air. I don't know how long she froze, but she restrained her crazy desire to escape and slowly stepped back, hoping to return to the seventh floor to hide.

Who knew that when he approached the window sill, a strong white palm stretched out from the top of his head. Shao Shang almost screamed and covered his mouth with his hands, but no sound came out. It is a familiar and handsome face!

Ling Budo climbed half-length on the beam, and saw Shaoshang below, he seemed startled, and then suddenly laughed, he was born very beautiful, at this moment Shu Ran With a smile, the spring scenery in the mountains is not as bright as his expression.

Shao Shang was so dazzled that he forgot to be afraid, and smiled back blankly.

At this moment, the wing room finally sensed the movement outside, and one of them said solemnly: "Who is there!"

Shao Shang was frightened again, and his heart raised his throat. Ling Budo thought for a while, then jumped down quickly, reached out to grab Shaoshang, and then took her to the outside of the tower and jumped out!

This time, Shao Shang finally couldn't help but want to scream loudly, but because he was too frightened, he couldn't make a sound. It's a martial arts movie. What martial arts movie would you make without Weiya? !
