The first thousand and twenty second chapter is amazing
The young man couldn't help but cough violently twice, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, which was also mixed with two white back molars.
His head was buzzing, and he regained consciousness after a while. He looked at Liu Xiu and the others, his eyes were red, and he wanted to pounce on them and tear them apart. He raised his hand and pointed angrily at Geng Shu, shouting: "Here!"
I'll kill them!"
Following the young man's words, several big men dressed as servants rushed into the pavilion. The woman in white gauze subconsciously took two steps back. Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to hold her back and said softly: "Miss, don't be afraid!"
The woman in white gauze steadied her figure, and Liu Xiu's hand holding her back immediately retracted, without staying for a moment longer or taking advantage of the situation.
The young man's servants all looked powerful. They did have two skills, but they just wanted to see who they could compete with. In front of Geng Shu, they were not enough.
Without touching anyone, Geng Shu used his bare hands and hands and feet to knock the young man's servants to the ground with just a few glances.
Seeing this, the young man realized that he was in trouble. He covered his swollen cheek with one hand and supported the pillar of the pavilion with one hand. He stood up tremblingly and said in a fierce voice: "You have the guts."
Yes, just leave your name!"
Geng Shu straightened his back, patted his chest and said, "A true man, I won't change my name in work, and I won't change my surname in office. My surname is Geng Shu. If you have the ability, just come to me!"
As soon as the name Geng Shu came out, the faces of the young man, the servant lying on the ground, and even the guests watching the excitement all changed.
There are not many people in Chang'an city who don't know Geng Shu. He killed the Xiongnu king in Bingzhou, made a contribution to the rescue in Hanyang, and not long ago, he was canonized as Mouping Hou by the emperor, which can be said to be in the limelight.
Moreover, Geng Shu's family background is not simple. Who can offend three nobles in the family? Knowing that the person in front of him was Geng Shu, the young man's expression suddenly changed, he shrank his neck, and without saying a word, he covered his face and said to
Run outside the hospital.
His servants helped each other stand up, not daring to look at Geng Shu, and limped away quickly.
Geng Shu was not an unforgiving person. He watched the young man leave with his servants and did not chase him. He looked around at the people watching the excitement and asked, "Are you all his accomplices?"
With one word, the onlookers dispersed in a hurry and returned to their private rooms.
Seeing that there were no more idle people in the garden, Geng Shu clapped his hands, flicked the dust off his body, and turned back to look at Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu smiled and nodded slightly, saying that Geng Shu had done a good job. Seeing that he was praised by His Majesty, Geng Shu subconsciously grinned.
The woman in white gauze looked at the three of them quietly. After a while, she saluted Liu Xiufu and said, "I didn't know that your majesty was here, so I missed your welcome. Please forgive me!"
As soon as she said this, Liu Xiu, Geng Yan, and Geng Shu were all stunned. Liu Xiu asked with a puzzled smile: "Miss, have you seen me before?"
"Never seen it."
"Then why do you know my identity?"
"The folk girl guessed."
"Guess?"
"The only person in the world who can make Generals Geng Yan and Geng Shu treat them respectfully is the Emperor." The woman in white gauze said slowly and softly.
The master-slave relationship between Liu Xiu, Geng Yan, and Geng Shu is not obvious, but if you observe carefully, you can still see the clues.
After hearing what she said, Liu Xiu was startled for a moment, smiled leisurely, and praised: "She is a beautiful and smart girl. Do you know her name?"
Just now the young man asked the woman in white gauze her name, but she didn't answer, but now Liu Xiu asked her name, and she had to answer. She bowed again and said, "The name of the folk girl is Lian Jingshu."
Lian Jingshu...
Liu Xiu fell into deep thought. If he remembered correctly, Liu Kai's wife's surname was Lian. He asked curiously: "Who are you and Mrs. Lian?"
"Mrs. Lian is the eldest sister of a common girl." Lian Jingshu leaned forward and said.
Oh! Liu Xiu nodded and understood. It turns out that this Lian Jingshu is Mrs. Lian’s sister, that is, Liu Kai’s sister-in-law. Liu Xiu and Liu Kai are from the same clan. Speaking of which, he and Lian Jingshu can be considered related.
Therefore.
Liu Xiu asked: "Why is Miss Jingshu not in Luoyang but in Chang'an?"
Lian Jingshu said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, after my brother-in-law opened the Yuhua Pavilion, he left it to the care of a common girl."
Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate for a woman to do business." Although Liu Kai was not named a king or a marquis, he was also a relative of the Liu family and belonged to a wealthy family. It was really unreasonable for his wife and sister to do business in public.
.
"A commoner's daughter is a commoner." Lian Jingshu lowered her head and said in a low voice.
Liu Xiu said oh and didn't ask any more questions. At that time, there was a big difference between legitimate children and concubine children. Direct children refer to the children born by the first wife, and they have the right to inherit. Concubine children refer to the children born by concubines. According to legal principles,
They have no inheritance rights. Children born from a common concubine cannot call their biological mother mother, but must call their aunt or aunt, and can only call their first wife mother. In wealthy families, the status of a woman born from a common concubine is not much higher than that of a maid.
Since Lian Jingshu was a concubine, it was understandable that Liu Kai and his wife asked her to come to Chang'an as a girl to help with their business.
Liu Xiu did not come from a wealthy family, and his brothers and sisters were not classified as direct concubines, but he still understood some of the twists and turns.
He changed the topic and said with a smile: "Miss Jingshu has taken care of Yuhua Pavilion very well!"
Lian Jingshu smiled and Fu Shen said, "Your Majesty will laugh."
Liu Xiu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Was your name given by your aunt?"
Lian Jingshu was startled, nodded, and said: "Exactly! Your Majesty?"
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "It seems that your aunt is still a talented woman."
The confusion on Lian Jingshu's face became even stronger, and she asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, do you know the aunt of the common girl?"
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Jing Shu, Jing Nu's Shu, I am in the corner of the city. From "Guo Feng·Bei Feng·Jing Nu"."
Regardless of whether Liu Xiu was deliberately showing off his talents or not, he had to admit that he could really show off.
Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Lian Jingshu's eyes couldn't help but heat up, and she said with a choked voice: "The aunt of a common girl was originally a young lady from a wealthy family. She only married into the Lian family as a concubine because of the decline of her family. The aunt gave birth to a common daughter.
After that, she was seriously ill, and her aunt passed away when she was five years old. Fortunately, in these years, she was taken care of by her eldest sister, so she had no worries about food and clothing, and she had someone to rely on in life."
There was a grudge between the concubines. As Geng Yan and Geng Shu came from a wealthy family, both brothers were well-connected. After hearing Lian Jingshu's words, both brothers had a great impression of her.
If Mrs. Lian was sincerely taking care of you, she wouldn't have asked you to come to Chang'an to help take care of the wine house. However, this girl Lian Jingshu is in a good mood. Instead of having any resentment, she is full of gratitude, which is commendable.
Liu Xiu also felt the same and said: "Miss Jingshu, a girl, runs such a large wine shop in Chang'an, which will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, please feel free to come to Weiyang Palace to find me.
Liu Kai and I are from the same clan and hometown, so it is natural for us to take care of his wife and sister."
"Daughter of the people...Jingshu, thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Lian Jingshu showed a look of surprise and hurriedly saluted.
Liu Xiu smiled and asked, "Miss Jingshu, would you like to play the piano for me again?"
"It is Jingshu's great honor to be able to play the piano for His Majesty!"
Liu Xiu raised his head and smiled, waved his hand to his box and said, "Miss Jingshu, please!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
Liu Xiu turned around and was about to walk to the box when Luo You gently pulled down his clothes from behind. Liu Xiu motioned to Geng Yan, and Geng Shu led Lian Jingshu into the box first. Watching them walk away, he turned back and looked at Luo in confusion.
You asked, "What's the matter?"
Luo You looked towards Lian Jingshu and saw that they had entered the box. She whispered: "Your Majesty, this Lian Jingshu is not simple!"
"Do you suspect that her identity is false?" This is too easy to check. He only needs to write a letter to Luoyang and the difference will be clear and obvious. The possibility of pretending to be Liu Kai's wife and sister is extremely slim.
And it's also very unwise.
Luo You's delicate brows knitted into a small knot and she said, "Her identity may be true, but her appearance is too... too..." Luo You didn't know what to say.
This Lian Jingshu, who had not played the qin in the morning or played the qin in the evening, happened to play the qin when Your Majesty came to Yuhua Pavilion to have a drink. Wasn't this just to attract His Majesty's attention?
Furthermore, why could she recognize His Majesty immediately? Although her explanation was reasonable, Luo You always felt that she knew His Majesty's identity in advance.
A girl under twenty years old can run a restaurant as big as Yuhua Pavilion in a place like Chang'an, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and the business is prosperous. Can she be an ordinary person?
"Anyway, my maid feels that this Lian Jingshu is not simple. Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by her, let alone fall in love with her!" Luo You said seriously: "My maid still has to look after your Majesty for your noble lord!"
Liu Xiu was amused by her little appearance and laughed loudly. He raised his hand and pinched Luo You's tense face gently. He walked past her and said at the same time: "It turns out that Lihua has been placed beside me.
What a small trick!"
Luo You hurriedly followed Liu Xiu and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am not joking. This Lian Jingshu is definitely not simple!"
Naturally, Liu Xiu didn't take Luo You's words to heart. He walked back to the box and waved to the musicians, singers, and dancers present, indicating that they all should leave. Then, a waiter brought in Lian Jingshu's piano.
, carefully arranged.
Lian Jingshu sat down gracefully behind the piano, raised her eyes to Liu Xiu, and asked, "What does your Majesty want to hear?"
In the pavilion, the light was limited, and only Lian Jingshu's appearance could be seen. Now in the private room, the view became more vivid, and Geng Yan and Geng Shu couldn't help but stare straight at her.
Her skin is like snow, which can be broken by a blow, and her beautiful eyes are as bright as ten thousand starlights, seducing people's soul.
Liu Xiu was also alerted by Lian Jingshu's glance, but he soon returned to normal. He said with a smile: "Miss Jingshu, just play a song."
Even Jingshu was not pretentious, she slowly raised her hands and brushed them on the strings. Her hands were beautiful, the tips of her fingers were like bamboo shoots, and her wrists were like white lotus roots. When she touched her palms, a series of piano sounds jumped out and sounded.
Complete the box.
She played "Feng Qiu Huang". The music was clear, sometimes cheerful, sometimes affectionate, and charming.
Everyone present listened with fascination. Even Luo You, who was quite suspicious of Lian Jingshu, was stunned for a moment and looked at her with dull eyes, motionless for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, the song ended, and the room became completely silent, with people still immersed in the beautiful music.
After a while, Liu Xiu was the first to react and clapped his hands. His applause also woke up everyone else. Geng Yan and Geng Shu looked at Jing Shu with different eyes. They followed Liu Xiu and clapped hard.
Slap.
Lian Jingshu stood up, saluted Liu Xiu and others, and said in a low voice, "Jingshu is showing off."
Liu Xiu waved his hand and sighed: "Miss Jingshu's piano skills are probably better than those of Yuefu musicians!"
