The winter is harsh, the water condenses into ice, and the mountains are covered with plains and lush green trees.
There was a heavy snowfall in Haoyun Mountain this year, and it has not snowed in this place for fifty years. The nearby villagers talked a lot, saying that if this was not auspicious, it was a sign of disaster.
It snowed heavily this time, and the trees were covered with congee flowers. There was more than half a foot of white snow on the ground where the vegetation still existed. Against the background of the still green trees, the white snow and green forest, the scenery was strange and moving.
"Master Bi" Qi Xing held a volume in his hand and was walking in the courtyard. Someone walked in quietly outside the door, "Brother Qi, how many people are there?" Qi Xing folded the book and said, "Six hundred and eighty-five people." ”
The person who looked over was "Jade Master" Zheng Yue. Ever since Tang Lici announced the news that the extra person would earn one hundred and fifty-eight taels of silver, more and more people have joined Haoyun Mountain, most of them are Although the second- and third-rate characters in the world are not masters, they are numerous, and Haoyunshan's momentum is becoming more and more prosperous. Occasionally, people would get into fights over the misuse of gold and silver. Qi Xing always asked for the key and drove the provoking person down the mountain. After several times, no one dared to take action.
Meng Qinglei also gave some advice to Tang Lici, saying that treating people with gold and silver would be too materialistic. Although money attracted many people to join, it also made some senior people in the world reluctant to come. Tang Lici said that those who are truly interested in the world will not be tempted by petty gains, nor will they be trapped by petty gains. Those who care about rumors are not considered noble people, and whether they come or not does not matter to them. not give a **** about.
What he said made sense, and Meng Qinglei stopped mentioning the matter of gold and silver.
Time passed very quickly. After the heavy snowfall, it had been more than a month since Tang Lici returned to Haoyun Mountain. During this month, Zheng Yue naturally did not find out the slightest news about the romantic shop, and Tang Lici did not blame him. Every time they met, they treated each other with a smile, which made Zheng Yue feel like seeing a snake and a scorpion, avoiding him. I'm afraid it won't be enough.
He was really afraid of Tang Lici from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Now everyone up and down Haoyun Mountain said Mr. Tang was good, how could he dare to offend the public easily? What's more, he was also a little tempted by the one hundred and fifty-eight taels of gold, which was really a large amount of money.
"Western Peach" never showed up. Tang Lici sent Cheng Yipao and Dong Hubi to search separately, but no news about Western Peach was found. The rivers and lakes suddenly became quiet, Haoyunshan became more and more powerful, and the romantic shops ceased operations, as if everything had returned to the calm before the drug attack.
Tang Li Ci is very busy these days. She avoids people and rarely talks to people. She is an unknown maid with a hairpin and a sarong, no makeup, and no one pays attention to her. So she lived in Haoyun Mountain for more than a month. People came and went outside the window, and she felt as if she was alone in the world.
Fengfeng was holding a torn book and reading it with great concentration. Now he no longer tears the book and likes to read instead. She didn't know if he was looking at the pictures-like handwriting on the pages, or if he really understood something. In short, Fengfeng liked reading, so she quietly sat aside and watched with him. Fengfeng held the book and read it horizontally and vertically. She picked up the thread and embroidered. The days were so peaceful and silent.
"Tuk-tuk" sounded twice, and someone knocked lightly on the wooden door a few times.
The one who raised her head saw that there were very few people coming to see her. Yu Tuaner never knocked on the door, "Who is it?"
The voice of the person outside the door was gentle, "Mr. Ziyun." That person stood up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a pretty, petite woman in purple. She was holding a tray. They were two cups of bird's nests. "They were brought here by Master Tang's order. Girl, hurry up and eat them while they're hot."
The man frowned slightly, took the tray, and sighed softly, "Thank you, why did he suddenly think of giving me bird's nest? Did he eat it himself?" Ziyun also sighed, "Master Tang ordered , saying that he is busy with work and has no time to take care of the girl, so he wants me to be with the girl and serve him at all times." She bowed to that Yingying, "If you have anything to ask me, Ziyun will do my best."
The man shook his head, helped her up, and said softly, "I don't really need anyone to take care of me. Miss Ziyun can come and sit here whenever she has time." Ziyun shook her head and said sadly, "It's Master Tang's order. Ziyun didn't dare to disobey." The man smiled slightly, and his smile was a little dim, "Does he not want you to serve him?" Ziyun lowered his head, "Yes... he wants me to serve the girl, and I must not send any messages to him in the future. "Yard." That person said, "Don't be sad, Mr. Tang is just..." But she was speechless. She had thousands of thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't say it at all.
Ziyun said sadly, "I understand, he just doesn't want me to interfere in his personal affairs. He doesn't like other people to be under the same roof with him." The man sighed, "He treats you like this, and he doesn't like it. It’s not necessarily that he’s not treating you well in his heart.” Ziyun’s eyes turned red, “I think so too, but I’m always very sad.” He asked her to sit down, feeling more and more confused, and said with a smile on her face. Do you care about Young Master Tang?" Ziyun nodded, her cheeks flushed, "I..." The man smiled more gently, "Young Master Tang is young and handsome, wise and brave, it is natural to care about Young Master Tang." Ziyun shook his head. "I know that he has a confidante in the palace, Miss Huang Sanjinhuang. Miss Zhong Chunji is also interested in Mr. Tang, and he said it himself..." Ziyun said in a daze, "He said that before the concubine married into the palace, ...I am very infatuated with him..." She looked at him in confusion, "He still has that girl, you, me...who am I?"
The man who was also looking at Ziyun was confused. There were many beauties behind Tang Li's resignation. Some of them she knew and some she didn't know. But no matter who they were, regardless of their status or status, he would not Will give any response, he is just... just looking for these women... looking for maternal tenderness, and at the same time gaining a sense of conquest.
That's all.
So all the women who are obsessed with Tang Lici are pitiful. He has no intention of falling in love with any woman. Even if he only wants her, that kind of persistence is not out of love, but just anger and empathy.
"He... told you about Concubine, maybe because he hoped that you would give up soon. He was thinking about you." The man whispered, his voice was very weak, "And I... I also don't know what to do with Tang. As far as the young master is concerned, I am nothing..." She looked at Ziyun sincerely, "I am a mourner, and I am not innocent. I hope that Mr. Tang will be accompanied by a wife more than anyone else, but it will definitely not happen. It's me."
Tears burst out of Ziyun's eyes, and she suddenly threw herself into that person's arms, holding her and sobbing.
While the two of them were in distress, a figure suddenly rushed into the room. His movements were light and agile, as fast as a flying swallow, but he didn't make the slightest sound. That person suddenly saw it and was startled, "Who -" Ziyun wiped away her tears and raised her head, only to see a flash of white light in front of her eyes, a bright blade pointing at her throat, and the person pretending to be masked. , lowered his voice, "Silence!" The person was about to recover from the shock, and suddenly saw the tall person in front of him, with a graceful waist and a plain bun. The figure looked very familiar, and he was slightly startled, "Miss Bai?"
The masked person who broke into her room pulled off his mask, smiled faintly at her, and sat down, "So it's you." Although she sat down, the ring knife was still pointed at Ziyun's throat. He said, "She won't make a sound, Miss Bai. She is Mr. Tang's personal maid, not an outsider."
The visitor was none other than Bai Suche. After hearing this, she slowly retracted her sword, "I haven't slept for two days and two nights, and I haven't had a sip of water or a sip of rice..." She said very lightly, Zi Yun quickly offered the two cups of bird's nests, his eyes full of fear. She recognized this as the famous female general of the Fengliu Shop. The last time the Fengliu Shop attacked Haoyunshan at night, this woman was the leader.
Bai Suche did not refuse, and quickly finished the two bowls of bird's nests. The man who remembered her secret gift of "kill Liu" had no hostility towards her, "Miss Bai came from afar, I don't know... Bai Suche said in a low voice, "I came from Piaoling Meiyuan. I told people that I was out on patrol and couldn't stay here for too long. Go and call Tang Lici. I have something to say to him." Bai Suche came all the way from Bodhi Valley to fight for the crime of betraying the romantic shop. He didn't sleep a wink for two days and two nights. What he was going to say must be something important. Her thoughts passed by in a flash, and she pushed Ziyun, "Miss Ziyun, go and ask Mr. Tang to come over. If anyone asks, they will say that I am seriously ill." Ziyun looked pale, nodded repeatedly, and turned away. .
The man poured a cup of tea for Bai Suche. Bai Suche looked at her coldly, with her murderous eyes. No one could have imagined that Bai Suche had risked his life and death to save that life not long ago. The man pursed his lips slightly and said, "Miss Bai." Bai Suche hummed slightly, seemingly incomprehensible. "In Lirenju, why did Miss Bai want to save me?" The man was not surprised by her indifference, "Could it be that you...are you Mr. Tang's undercover agent in the romantic shop?"
Bai Suche said coldly, "I'm not anyone's subordinate, I'm just myself." The man showed his teeth slightly and bit his lower lip, "I'd like to thank you for coming all the way, on behalf of Mr. Tang." Che's face showed a sarcastic look, "Who do you think you are, and why do you have the right to speak on behalf of Tang Lici?" That person was slightly shocked and whispered, "Why are you angry?" Bai Suche's expression changed slightly, and that person then He bit his lip and stopped talking.
The atmosphere between the two women suddenly became very strange. Fengfeng crawled out from the pile of tattered books. When she saw Bai Suche, she immediately beamed, "Auntie - auntie -" He took care of himself He screamed loudly, thinking that he was right.
Not long after, Tang Lici pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Ziyun.
Bai Suche stood up immediately. When Tang Lici saw her expression, his face turned slightly pale, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Bai Suche took out something from his arms. It was a piece of paper, stained with a dim corner of blood. Tang Lici looked at the piece of paper intently. Bai Suche slowly handed the piece of paper to Tang Lici. It was a silver note worth ten thousand taels of gold. "He said, give it back to you." ”
Tang Lici stretched out his hand to rest his chin and closed his eyes. It was a very familiar banknote. It was the banknote he paid to Xue Xianzi at Mingyue Tower. "What happened to him?"
