Upstairs in the Fan Mansion adjacent to Huaiyu House, Fan Xuanfu was sitting on the roof wrapped in a cloak. Under the bright moon, she was sitting on the roof tiles holding a sword that could kill horses, and her eyes were fixed on the Wu family courtyard not far away.
vestibule.
A large group of people were eating meat and chatting there, which was very pleasant.
Her eyes were fixed on a figure. The concerned figure was walking around in the courtyard, always followed by a young woman in a light green skirt. She was tall, behaved intimately with him, and never avoided others.
Her eyes became colder and colder, and she even began to gnash her teeth.
The night breeze blew, blowing up a corner of his cloak, revealing his proud figure.
Fan Xuanfu's hand tightly grasped the horse-killing sword, and he wanted to draw the sword and swing the sword energy to slash forward.
The flying tower of Duke Rong's Mansion, also known as the Zouma Tower, is divided into three floors, with whitewashed walls and black tiles, and upturned eaves, giving it a bit of Jiangnan style.
From the upper floor, you can lean on the railing and have a panoramic view of the streets and alleys, and even the adjacent neighborhood courtyards.
This kind of flying building is actually against the rules and regulations. It is an imitation of the walking horse corner building in the palace, except that the one in the palace is taller and bigger.
Many princes built flying buildings privately, and the neighbors next to them had no choice but to endure it if they had no power.
When she woke up that morning, she could no longer face him and this experience indifferently, and she had even entrusted her body and mind to him in her heart.
"In the fifth year of Wude, Liu Heitai raised an army to rebel in Hebei, and it quickly swept across the country and connected with the Turks. The imperial court sent the prince to personally lead the expedition to defeat the rebellion in Hebei. At that time, Princess Pingyang Zhao was guarding Niangziguan, located between Taiyuan in Hedong and Hebei.
On the main road of Taihang Mountain and Jingxing, this is a battleground for military strategists.
"No one will show mercy to her on the battlefield. If she really falls into the hands of a wolf rider, her life will be worse than death."
A rustling sound came from the room. After a while, the lights in the room were blown out and there was no more sound.
Until the figure had long since disappeared from the front yard, but there was no news of her sullenness. Instead, it became more intense because he entered the backyard with the woman in his arms.
"Hahaha!"
She was on the roof of the front yard and heard people talking in the house below.
"Then let me tell you a story about a truly unruly woman today, Ximen Qing and Fan Jinlian. The name of this story is Jin Pingmei.
It is said that during the Han Dynasty, in Qinghe County, Guandong Province, there was a romantic young man. He was tall and handsome, had a handsome temperament, and had several family assets. He was twenty-six or seventeen years old. His surname was Ximen, and his single name was Qing. He
My father, Ximenda, used to sell medicine in Sichuan and Guangzhou, and he opened a large herbal medicine shop in front of Qinghe County..."
Sit down on the eaves and put your feet down.
"Erlang, it's not that I look down on Zhang Sheng, but Mrs. Cui is already engaged, but she still behaves like Zhang Sheng. This is unruly."
The night is lonely and cold.
Although the imperial court officially stated that she died of illness, the people, including the Li Jing family, believed that she died in battle and was struck by a poisonous arrow.
"Do you look down on down-and-out scholars?"
I can't be so selfish, I don't deserve it.
Moreover, the woman in the room was just a maid given to him by the Yongkang Palace. Even if she was spared as a good deed, she would only be kept as a concubine in the future.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Fan Xuanfu, who was sitting on the roof with his horse-killing sword in his arms, almost forgot why he was here.
But when he stood in front of the door and his hand had already touched the door, he hesitated again.
"It's your first time to visit your home. You can't go there empty-handed."
······
Fan Xuanfu listened on the roof for a while, then continued to jump towards the inner courtyard. Under the moonlight, her movements were as light as a civet or fox.
Fan Xuanfu stretched out his hand to caress all of his wounds. There were medicines and gauze that he had just changed during the day. She closed her eyes and seemed to feel his hands on them again.
"It would be great if I could be the shopkeeper."
The scene from that night came to mind.
The wind is getting stronger.
Having lost three fiancés, a woman with the name of a husband actually longs for marriage more than anyone else, and that day when she went for an assassination with the intention of dying, she was very grateful when he was saved by him whom she had only met once.
"Well, I found out that she is not only a woman, but also a peerless beauty. She has a tall figure, a tiger's back, a wasp's waist, and mantis legs. She wields a horse-killing sword. She is so powerful that Xue Wanche was ordered to hack her to death. Fortunately, I drew my sword to help.
.”
"Don't you still have your dowry?"
"Shopkeeper Zhao gave us fifty pieces of silk."
"The noodles made by Erlang are more delicious. How can you make this noodles as you like? One noodle is a bowl. I have never seen this kind of noodles before."
Fan Xuanfu was a little annoyed. He drew his sword and jumped down. The sword was on the head of the wild cat, but he stopped.
Step by step, he approached the door of the house.
The cloak is raised.
"Erlang, who are you helping?"
"You are the best gift. Wasn't I, Aye, very satisfied with you last time?"
"Erlang, I still have some jewelry that my wife and Sanniang gave me before. I will give it to Aniang and Eldest Sister. You won't mind it, right?"
"So, the battlefield is not suitable for women, it is too dangerous."
But now, listening to his breathing in the room, her heart surged. The person next to him should be her.
"Erlang, do you think my mother-in-law will like me? Will she dislike my low status?"
Even Runniang of Yongkang Palace did not know the truth.
"Of course it was the heroic girl. I thought she was going to be defeated, so I drew my sword to block Xue Wanche and let her run away."
The sound of two people breathing evenly could be heard in the room.
"I'm so satisfied with today's meal, I won't regret it even if I die."
At the end of the fifth year of Wude, the prince defeated Liu Heitai. In February of the following year, the princess's body was transported back to Chang'an and buried with military honors. The court said that the princess died of a sudden illness, but she was only in her early thirties at the time, so everyone thought
It is rumored that the princess actually died when she was hit by a stray arrow while fighting against the Turks and Liu Heita rebels at Niangziguan. The stray arrow was poisonous."
The wild cat screamed and ran away.
I have killed three men, what if he is the fourth?
Not willing to give in.
"Princess Pingyang Zhao was also a woman, but she also commanded troops. After she died of illness, she was buried with military honors." The woman said unconvinced.
Heartache.
Fan Xuanfu stood there and blew the cold wind for a while, then turned around to go back, but after taking two steps, she turned back. She jumped over the eaves and walls, and quickly crossed the courtyard wall of the two houses in the night.
She stood there, with the moonlight falling on her body, like an ice sculpture.
I thought that what I did was right.
"Then what gifts should I prepare for them? I didn't even have time to prepare any gifts, so I didn't prepare anything. How about we go to the West Market to buy some gifts tomorrow?"
Soon she found Huaiyu's location.
“I didn’t expect that the stewed sheep’s head, minced and stuffed with biscuits would be so delicious.”
"You don't have to worry about her. Madam Zhang is actually doing her a favor by keeping her in confinement. Now the border is in chaos, and more than 100,000 Turkic wolf cavalry are rampaging in Longyou. She is a woman, even if she can ride and shoot, she really thinks that she can bring a group of villagers with her.
Can we go west outside the Great Wall and kill seven in and seven out of the Turkic army?"
When he came to the door again, she wanted to rush to hug him, but in the end she said unfeeling words. She was afraid of the curse and was afraid that she would kill him.
The man's voice came from the room, "I listen to stories every day, and I fall asleep half way through every time. I'm such a cute kid and love to play."
·······
"Speaking of Sanniang, I don't know how she is doing now. I wonder if she is still grounded by Madam."
The man in the room told a story, about Ximen Qingre marrying ten brothers, and Wu Erlang coldly meeting his brother and sister-in-law. The man's voice was very nice, and the story was told with a good tone, the voice was cadenced, and the plot had ups and downs, especially
When it comes to Ximen Qing playing with the wind and the moon and teasing a woman, it's even more vivid, and when it comes to Wu Song getting drunk and killing a tiger, it's even more climax...
Fan Xuanfu was listening in fascination in the room, but his voice fell silent.
Fan Xuanfu held his sword in his arms and sat on the roof with his knees bent, his whole body wrapped in a black cloak, and his mood was hard to calm down.
The cry of a wild cat brought her thoughts back.
"Erlang, you should tell me a story. Although the story of the West Chamber you told me last time is quite good, I don't like Cui Yingying very much. As the daughter of the prime minister, her father had already promised her to her before he died.
The son of Zheng Shangshu, this is a good match for a well-matched family, but she has an illegitimate relationship with a poor and down-and-out scholar, which is too inappropriate."
And when he came to Shengguang Temple at night and took her away for treatment, her heart was broken. She was suffering from a high fever and the two slept together all night.
Why should I let go? Why should I be the one who gets hurt?
"This is a little bit of benefit."
But this thought soon passed. Any capable man didn't have many wives and concubines. My father was only in his early thirties and he couldn't even count his concubines.
She had a strong impulse to jump off the roof, break into the house, and take him away directly. She might even elope on a moonlit night, or take him back to the Rongguo Palace to meet her father directly and tell him that this is what she wants.
The man you want to marry will not marry anyone but him.
"It must be a palace delicacy. Don't forget, Erlang's uncle is Ying Guogong, one of the founding fathers."
Runniang lowered her voice and said, "Erlang, I heard that the person who assassinated Xue Wanche yesterday was actually a female assassin. You went up to fight at that time. Did you find out that it was a female assassin?"
"No, don't worry about that, they will definitely like you very much."
The man lowered his voice, "I heard rumors that Princess Pingyang Zhao died in the battle against the Turks in Taihang, Hedong?"
She jumped down.
Fan Xuanfu rarely comes to this flying building, but Fan Xing likes to bring his concubine here upstairs, but today she sat on the roof of the building until midnight.
"Tomorrow I will share the meat and bread, and then take the silk money home. I don't know how happy I will be."
"Erlang is really good at joking. Don't say that outside. If people mistakenly think that you are really related to the assassin, you won't be able to explain it even with ten mouths."
Thinking that the man had said that he was going to ask his father to marry him during the day, but now he was sleeping with another woman in his arms. Fan Xuanfu's breathing became rapid again. She was so worried that she wanted to jump down, break into the house, and marry him.
A sword.
Maybe it's best not to disturb.
"Wu Lang, live well." She murmured softly and turned around.
When he walked into the courtyard, he drew his sword again.
But she didn't go back, she picked up a knife and cut off a section of hair, put it on the ground, then jumped up to the roof and jumped away.
