Nightwatcher

Because Li Miaozhen and Lina came back, my aunt asked the kitchen to kill goose and cook a hearty and delicious meal.

The candles were brightly lit, and several pots of ice cubes were placed in the four corners of the inner hall to drive away the heat. The dessert before the meal was a bowl of iced sweet wine per person, which was sweet, refreshing and refreshing.

Xiao Douding also held a bowl of Gululu to drink. Since this kid practiced the body training method of the Power Gu Department with Lina, his appetite has increased, and his digestive system is terribly strong.

Not to mention sweet wine, even if it is strong wine, she can drink several big bowls. Of course, she wouldn't drink this kind of adult drink that would make Xiao Douding suspect that a child was born.

During the dinner, it was inevitable to talk about Jianzhou.

Uncle Xu used his rich "knowledge" and experience to tell a few juniors about Jianzhou's historical background. Although Jianzhou is the most stable, in fact, the court's control over Jianzhou is pitifully weak.

People from all corners of the country gather there, and the current leader Cao Qingyang is something you juniors can't deal with.

My aunt listened for a long time, found an opportunity to interject, and said, "Master, Ning Yan's knife is a peerless magic weapon. I heard Erlang say that it is priceless."

Uncle Xu nodded while drinking sweet wine: "Of course the peerless magic weapon is priceless!"

He sprayed a sip of the wine on the face of Xiao Douding beside him, stared and said:

"You are a woman, do you know what is a peerless magic weapon? Ning Yan's blade is unparalleled, but it is not a peerless magic weapon. Don't use it just after hearing a word."

Xiao Douding stretched out her chubby hand, wiped the sweet wine on her face, couldn't help but licked her palm, and then licked again, she started to lick silently

The aunt was not convinced, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily: "That's what Erlang said, it can fly, if you don't believe me, ask Dalang."

Second Uncle Xu immediately looked at Xu Qi'an, staring at him firmly.

Xu Qi'an snapped his fingers and called out: "Taiping!"

Xu Taiping Dao flew into the hall and circled above everyone's heads.

Second Uncle Xu held his head up, looking at the peace knife with a dull expression, like a stone sculpture that would not move.

"Really, it's really a peerless magic weapon." After a while, the second uncle murmured like a sigh.

"It's said that it is priceless, and it will be the heirloom of our Xu family from now on." Aunt said happily.

"Yes, yes, the family heirloom, this is the family heirloom." The second uncle was so excited that he couldn't hold the bowl steadily.

Li Miaozhen lowered her head, held the bowl, ate the food, and listened to the chattering of the family.

She was a little envious of Xu Qi'an, although this guy's parents died since he was a child, he always teased himself that he was living under the fence, and his aunt treated him badly.

Having lived in the Xu Mansion for so long, Li Miaozhen could see very clearly that the mistress was too girlish, so she lacked the temperament of a loving mother. But in fact, it's really not bad for Xu Ningyan.

It's just that his personality is a bit stronger, Xu Ningyan didn't respect her, so she was very angry, and she didn't speak well of him, saying that he was unlucky on the left and a bastard on the right.

In fact, I always remember my nephew's portion for food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Uncle Xu has a carefree personality, and he gets a headache when he hears his wife and nephew bickering, so he likes to play dumb, but Li Miao can really see that he is actually the best for Xu Ningyan in the family.

Xu Erlang's personality is similar to his mother's, he always says one thing and another in his heart. While despising his eldest brother and father as vulgar warriors, he also has deep feelings for them.

For Xu Lingyue's words, Li Miaozhen felt that her admiration for Xu Ningyan was too much, and it would be much better if she married in the future, and her mind would be on her husband.

As for Xu Lingyin, she also relies on Xu Qian very much. She licked the horseshoe cake in the afternoon with tears in her eyes, and finally gritted her teeth and left it to the eldest brother.

Well, you can't tell Xu Ningyan about this.

"Li Miaozhen, Li Miaozhen, these are karmic obstacles. If you want to live a long life with the sky, you must break free from the love and hatred in the world, and learn to be indifferent properly. Well, deep love does not last long." I silently warned myself in my heart.

A few seconds later, she thought again, Xu Ningyan, this bastard, I haven't distributed the treasures that Cao Guogong found from his private house, I'm going to open a porridge shed to help the poor

My aunt drank half a bowl of sweet wine, and felt a little tired, so she didn't want to drink it anymore, and said, "Master, drink it for me, don't waste it."

Second Uncle Xu was concentrating on looking at the peace knife. Hearing this, without even thinking about it, he pushed Auntie's half bowl of sweet wine to Xu Lingyin.

Xu Lingyue wiped her lips, and looked at Xu Qi'an expectantly: "Brother, I can't drink it either."

"Brother, help you." Xu Qi'an took the bowl and put it in front of Xiao Douding: "Give me the ring tone for you."

Little Douding was very happy.

Lina looked at Tuer with an envious expression.

In the early morning, before the sun rose, the sky was already bright, and Xiaomei, the maid in Jiaofangsi, was awakened again by the cough of Fuxiang.

She rubbed her eyes and got up, went to the table and poured a glass of water, walked lightly to the side of the bed, and said softly: "Miss, drink some water."

Fu Xiang, whose face was as pale as paper, sat up with her support, took a sip of water, and said in a weak voice, "Mei'er, I'm a little hungry."

"Lady, rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to serve a bowl of porridge."

Meier put on her coat, left the master bedroom, went to the kitchen to look, and found that the pot was empty, and no one got up early to cook.

Yingmei Xiaoge has six singers, eight wine maids, seven miscellaneous maids, four attendants who watch the courtyard, and one porter.

Fuxiang Huakui has been ill for a long time, those followers, singers and accompanying maids were sent to other courtyards, and only one maid was left behind.

The handy girl has been stealing, raping and playing tricks in recent days, complaining everywhere, resenting what happened to her. When I went to another courtyard, the maids who did chores were rewarded with a few coins from time to time.

Staying in Yingmei Xiaoge to guard a sick child will not gain any benefits.

Mei'er rushed into the room of the handyman maid angrily. She lay on the bed and fell asleep comfortably.

"Get up, get up for me!"

With a cold face, Meier dragged her off the bed, and asked loudly: "When the lady is beautiful, she is also benevolent to you, and when is the reward not richer than other yards?

"She's sick right now, and she doesn't even want to drink hot porridge. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

The maid pinched her waist and scolded her: "It's all said in the past. In the past, the lady was beautiful, and we served by my side. I am willing to be a cow or a horse. But now she is going to die, why should I serve her. "

Meier was furious, "My lady is just sick, she will get better, and when she recovers, let's see how she treats you."

The odd job girl retorted: "Come on, no one in the Jiaofang Division knows that she is going to die. But if there is any possibility, mother will not transfer everyone away."

Speaking of this, she sneered: "Sister Mei'er, you are serving the lady in a disheveled dress, in fact, it is for the little savings of the lady. Don't get angry, there is no friendship in the Jiaofang Division, the sisters will not be there one day Flirtation?

"Because we all know that men only want our bodies, if we really want to think that we have true feelings with those whores, then we are fools. Lady Fuxiang is such a fool.

"Xu Yinluo used to stay in the pavilion all day long, and didn't even spend a copper coin. The lady didn't even receive guests because of him. She even paid for it and handed it over to the Secretary of Jiaofang. When others raised her a few words, she still I really thought that I and Xu Yinluo were true love, you said it was ridiculous.

"Now she is sick and dying, has that person visited her?"

These words touched Meier's heart, she gritted her teeth and said, "Bitch, I'm going to tear your mouth apart."

The two wrestled.

"stop!"

Outside the door, Fu Xiang was wearing a white singlet, weak and seemed to be standing unsteadily, holding on to the door, her face pale.

The scuffle stopped, and the handyman lowered her head and said nothing. Although this woman was already sick, and seemed to fall when the wind blows, she was so beautiful at the beginning that the impression she left was indelible. .

"go back"

Just after saying two words, Fu Xiang swayed and fainted to the ground.

Sandalwood scented, in the master bedroom, the floating fragrance woke up faintly, saw the elderly doctor sitting by the bed, seemed to have just finished his pulse, and said to Mei Er:

"The energy channels are weak, the five internal organs are exhausted, and the medicine stone is useless, so prepare for the funeral."

Mel lowered her head and sobbed softly.

The news that Fuxiang, the number one prostitute in the capital, is running out of time, spread throughout the Jiaofang Division in an instant.

Some people were secretly happy, while others sighed.

After lunch, Blue Pond Court.

In the living room covered with brocade lichens, oirans in neon clothes and feather coats sat at the table and drank afternoon tea.

There are melons and fruits, iced plum wine and other food on the table.

The Mingyan oiran with exquisite makeup glanced at the sisters present, including her, a total of nine oirans had slept with Xu Yinluo.

"Thinking of how beautiful she was at the beginning, Xu Yinluo made her the number one prostitute in the capital with a song about plum blossoms. The gentlemen outside spent a lot of money to see her, and the romantic talents from other places came all the way to the capital. There are already ashes left."

Wearing an indigo skirt and a hosta, the elegant Xiaoya oiran sighed with emotion.

Xiaoya Huakui is well read in poetry and books, and is quite sought after by scholars.

"The beauty is unlucky, it's the fragrance, it's really embarrassing."

The one who spoke was a melon-faced beauty in a yellow dress, nicknamed Dongxue, with a melodious voice like an oriole, and her singing was unique in Jiaofang.

"At the beginning, I was jealous that she was favored by Xu Yinluo alone, but seeing her in such a situation now, I feel so uncomfortable that I can't eat." Another beauty sighed.

"Speaking of which, Xu Yinluo hasn't looked for her for a long time."

"I remember that after Xu Yinluo went to Chuzhou in March, he never came to Jiaofangsi or Yingmei Xiaoge."

"Calculating carefully, when Xu Yinluo returned to Beijing from Chuzhou, it happened that Fuxiang was ill."

All the oirans sighed, Fu Xiang was ill in bed and hadn't seen him for a long time, so naturally Xu Yinluo would not come.

The men came to see them for pleasure, otherwise, they couldn't have been serving them at the sick bed, Xu Yinluo was just an ordinary man.

Mingyan Oiran sighed softly: "Sister Fuxiang has a deep love for Xu Yinluo"

She turned to look at the maid next to her, and ordered: "Send someone to Xu's Mansion to inform, Xu's Mansion is not far from Jiaofangsi, go and come back quickly."

The maid walked out in small steps.

Ming Yan glanced at all the oirans, and said softly: "Let's go see Sister Fuxiang."

"You and I are master and servant. After I leave, you take the banknotes in the cabinet, redeem yourself, and then find a good man to marry. After all, Jiaofangsi is not a girl's destination.

"Remember to hand over the things I left to Xu Yinluo, don't forget."

Fu Xiang leaned on the bed, explaining the funeral.

Mel sat on the round stool, sobbing and nodding.

Light and messy footsteps came from outside the door, Ming Yan Xiaoya and other oirans walked into the room slowly, and said with a smile: "Sister Fuxiang, the sisters are here to see you."

A smile appeared on Fuxiang's face as pale as paper, and her voice was hoarse: "Please sit down."

All the oirans took their seats and chatted calmly for a few words. Ming Yan suddenly covered his mouth and sobbed, "We already know about my sister's physical condition."

Fu Xiang smiled freely: "For me, it's just the end of a journey in my life. I felt like I left here a long time ago."

All the oirans felt the same when they heard the words, and the room was filled with a mournful atmosphere.

Ming Yan said softly: "Sister, don't blame me, my sister has made her own decision and asked someone to notify Xu Yinluo."

Fu Xiang frowned, her tone was a little anxious: "Why did you call him here, I don't want to see him, I don't want to see him at this moment."

Mei'er stood by the bed and cried: "That is also a heartless person. He has never been to Chuzhou since he went to Chuzhou. He must have heard that the lady is seriously ill and has disliked my wife. He is still from Yinluo. Sometimes, I often bring my colleagues to the Jiaofang Division for a drink, and the lady doesn't treat her with all her heart."

The oirans looked at each other and sighed lightly.

Ming Yan said softly: "Sister, what else is on your mind?"

Fu Xiang didn't speak, but looked out the window, the world was vast.

The biggest wish of the daughter of the Jiaofang Division is nothing more than to be able to get rid of the lowly status, leave this place of fireworks, and raise her head to be a human being.

The oirans understood what she meant, but they could only sigh.

The redemption price of Fuxiang is as high as 8,000 taels.

Yingmei Xiaoge probably hasn't been this lively for a long time, and Fuxiang chatted very well, but as time went by, she gradually began to be absent-minded. Frequently looked outside the door, as if waiting for something.

All the oirans knew who she was waiting for.

I miss you every day and don't see you.

Mingyan Huakui glanced at the water leak in the house, and a trace of sadness flashed in his bright eyes, that man will not come after all.

"It's getting late, sisters, go first." Tears almost welled up in her eyes: "Sister Fuxiang, take care."

Tears blurred, Ming Yan noticed that Fu Xiang's gaze was staring straight at the door, and an intoxicating blush appeared on his pale face.

Ming Yan's delicate body froze suddenly.

Xiaoya Huakui pursed her lips.

The other oirans also noticed the abnormality of Fuxiang, they held their breath unconsciously, and slowly turned around to look.

A young man stood at the door, wearing a moon-white Confucian gown, with a piece of emerald green jadeite hanging around his waist, the texture was not bad.

"The robe doesn't fit well, I asked the servant girl in the mansion to change it." His voice was gentle.

Tears welled up in Fuxiang's eyes, this outfit was the first time they saw it.

Last October, a young man in a moon-white Confucian robe came to Yingmei Xiaoge and broke into her life.

Bowl.

Xu Qi'an smiled warmly and said in a gentle voice, "After arriving at Jiaofang Division, I went to do something."

He walked to the table and gently placed an object on the table.

The eyes of all the oirans fell on the table, and they could no longer look away. It was a contract of sale.
