Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 84

But that night, because Baili Jiuge was busy going to Meng Fu's relatives to ask for a joint burial, he spent the whole night negotiating with the Meng family, and finally became hoarse before persuading them to allow Hongxiao and Meng to be buried together.The Meng family also refused to let this son enter the ancestral hall because of his horrific mistake, so they decided to remove Meng Fu's name from the family tree and leave it to Baili Jiuge to deal with.

In the end, he was busy until the dawn of the second day, but Baili Jiuge still didn't go to bed. Instead, he paid some people to dig a grave and erect a monument, and buried Meng Fu and Baili Hongxiao together at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain.

At the moment when the tombstone was erected, Banqin cried and lay on the cold stone tablet, tears winding down, which was shocking.

Baili Jiuge will never forget this feeling of desolation and sadness, and she will never forget how snow-colored her and Banqin's hearts were that day, and how bright and dazzling the red sun in the sky was...

When I returned to the Fangfei Pavilion, my eyes were already bloodshot, and Baili Jiuge couldn't hold on no matter what, so I asked the madam to take care of the banqin first, and hurriedly made up for two hours of sleep. To set up a small business for Banqin.

She rented a hut near the rice shop owner's shop on Nanshidao Street. Because of the skillful hand of the banqin, she bought cloth and silk, and let the banqin sell embroidery to make ends meet.The owner of the rice shop was very moved when he saw it. Without further ado, he assigned a clerk to be Banqin's assistant to take care of Banqin.

After finishing all this work, it was another day when the sun was setting, the owner of the rice shop left Baili Jiuge for dinner, and asked a question at the dinner table: "If your second mother continues to stay in Fengguo General's Mansion, what will happen to you?" At least she is also a wife, who has enough food and clothing. Is it really appropriate for you to turn her into a small businessman like this?"

"To be honest, I don't know if I'm just crazy or something." Baili Jiuge answered the question of the owner of Mipu frankly: "But I know that if Erniang stays in that cannibalistic place In the cage, she will only wash her face with tears every day, and Zhao Qian will definitely bully Erniang even more. So I took Erniang out. Although the life is calmer, I don’t have to suffer alone anymore. I think, the spirit of the red silk is in the sky , I wish I could do the same.”

After dinner, Baili Jiuge went back to Fangfei Pavilion, but because he was too tired, he fell asleep.

This sleep naturally didn't wake up until noon on the second day, and the food that Gu Lian sent was almost cold.

Embarrassed, Baili Jiuge ate cold dishes with hot rice, and finally had some leisure in his mind, and unconsciously thought of Moli.

I remember that day when Yuying hurried over and called Mo Li away, Mo Li told her before leaving that he would come to see her later when he finished his work.

But it's been several days, Mo Li hasn't come back yet?
Or, what happened to him?

Baili Jiuge was taken aback by his own thought.Really!For no reason, what are these unlucky people doing?Anyway, Mo Li still has a few hidden masters like Yuying Yufeng by his side, so what could happen to him?I think he is just too busy, he will come back to see her when he is done!
Baili Jiuge didn't think too much, and followed the order of the madam before, staying in the Fangfei Hall as Bai Qiang, painting, and helping Gu Lian to maintain his momentum, forcing Dai Dai and others not to come to look for her again. trouble.

The days of June are coming gradually, the pomegranates outside are in full bloom, and the people in the house are as hot as if they are on fire.

That evening, Baili Jiugeben was making a picture of a jade cabbage katydid, when the door was suddenly knocked by the turtle slave, and the turtle slave said: "Miss Bai Qiang, there are a lot of dance and music performances by Miss Gu Lian today." Great man, mother bustard is afraid that Miss Gu Lian won't be able to hold the stage alone, so she asks you to go to the side and help her paint."

Baili Jiuge put down his pen, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.Among the big shots who came to watch the dance, there wouldn't be Yin Haochen, right? ?
On second thought, no!If Yin Haochen really came, how could Madam Bust let her appear.

So he said: "Okay, please help me carry the table and chairs, and I can take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone by myself."

Then the turtle slave recruited several colleagues, and moved the tables and chairs out, and another handyman came to help Baili Jiuge take pens, inks, papers and inkstones together, and a group of people left the room and headed towards the backcourt Gu Lian left in the private box.

Entering the room, the bright lights made Baili Jiuge a little uncomfortable. I just felt that the people in the room were all dressed in gold and jade, very luxurious, which made the decoration of the room dazzling, and the people were dazzling. I don't know where to put my gaze.

He simply looked around hastily, and sure enough, they were all big figures, and he had seen them all at the palace banquet.

Even Yin Haoyu, that perverted prince, was at the banquet!
When Baili Jiuge looked at Yin Haoyu, the man happened to look over too, his face was full of astonishment at this moment, his eyes suddenly stared straight, he forgot to blink, and saliva dripped from his wide open mouth Come down, still don't know it.

Baili Jiuge is speechless, judging people by their appearance, seeing a pervert who loves another, one glance will pollute the sight!

Don't bother to pay attention to him, and then look around, and see Rong Hui.At this moment, I can't help but think of the day when Hongxiao was beheaded, I was entangled by Rong Hui on the road, and I wasted time... A burst of anger suddenly arose in my heart, and I stopped looking at Rong Hui, but glanced at Rong Wei beside Rong Hui Jun, continue to look all the way.

At this time, a man who had never met appeared in the field of vision, which attracted Baili Jiuge's eyes to stop.

It was a man dressed in black. At first glance, Baili Jiuge almost thought it was Yin Haochen, but in an instant, he felt that this man and Yin Haochen were really different.

The same black clothes, worn on Yin Haochen's body, are cold, chilling, and upright.But when worn on this person, it looks like a little bit of fragrant ink, which is sparse but not unrestrained.

There are more than a dozen black butterflies printed on the hem of the black clothes. At this moment, under the stream of lights, it adds a bit of a demon-like atmosphere, and the handsome face against the background seems to be like the birth of black butterflies. magical.

Baili Jiuge suddenly felt that this person possessed the uninhibitedness of a lonely geese, the laziness of Rong Weijun, and the elegance of black ink, and also had a bit of flirtatiousness like a black butterfly.

However, compared to Mo Li's warmth and mystery, this person seems a little dangerous...

Just thinking of Mo Li, the eyes that continued to move stopped suddenly.Baili Jiuge was surprised to see that there was a person sitting next to the black-clothed man, wearing a white-clothed crane cloak, carrying thousands of blooming epiphyllums, it was Mo Li!
Mo Li came back from work?
Can't help being very pleasantly surprised.

So this man in black was brought by Mo Li and is Mo Li's friend?

In short, Mo Li's safe return is the best!Baili Jiuge didn't think about it any more, went to the small table with pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and arranged them one by one. During this time, she also felt the eyes of everyone present scanning her face.

After everything was prepared, Baili Jiuge sat down and continued the picture of jade cabbage katydid just now.

After a while, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, Baili Jiuge looked up, and saw Gu Lian coming slowly, stepping on dance steps.

Today Gu Lian was dressed very delicately, and held a pink lotus between her lips.

She danced gracefully, dewdrops sprinkled from the petals of the pink lotus, and lightly fell on the sleeves of the surrounding guests.

Most of the people present had seen Gu Lian dance, and they were still full of admiration last time, but this time they were even more admiring.Many people forgot to blink, and their whole body seemed to jump up and down with Gu Lian, oblivious to their surroundings.As for Yin Haoyu, his saliva was even more drooling all over the place, looking at Gu Lian's strides for a while, and watching Baili Jiuge's wonderful pen for a while.

Gu Lian's dance and music performances usually last more than half an hour.Therefore, after Baili Jiuge finished drawing the picture of the jade cabbage katydid in his hand, in order to pass the time, he drew the scene of watching the master and the lonely goose playing chess in the Phoenix Valley.

I don't know how long after painting, the sound of silk and bamboo in my ears gradually weakened, as if it was about to dissipate, and a painting of Baili Jiuge was basically completed.

Gu Lian held up her hand, and made a flower shape on top of her head, ending the dance, then took off the pink lotus between her lips, and with a delicate red smile, Ping Ping Tingting walked towards the guests.

This is what she must do when she takes a curtain call, that is, to thank the guests one by one.

The princes and nobles present were delighted to see the beauties salute, and they returned the salute one after another. Some offered vain support, some nodded their heads, and some tried to take advantage of it with their hands and feet.Especially Yin Haoyu, who was eager to pounce on him again, fortunately Gu Lian was mentally prepared and avoided it quietly.

Baili Jiuge's gaze followed Gu Lian all the time, for fear that Gu Lian would be molested again.

At this moment, Gu Lian saluted in front of the man in black. The man leaned half on the chair in an unruly manner. When he saw Gu Lian, he straightened his body, and the corners of his lips curled up. Three points of coldness.

"I have heard for a long time that there are many beautiful dancers in the imperial capital, especially Miss Gu Lian, the dancing fairy in Fangfei Pavilion. Today I saw Miss Gu Yiwu. It really deserves its reputation and makes people dream about it."

Gu Lian felt that this sounded a bit strange, and returned the salute with a cautious smile, "Master, you are absurd, and Gu Lian is just one of the dancers in the world. As the saying goes, women are those who please themselves. As a dancer, you can get The high praise of the people who watched the dance is really a happy thing, and what the young master said, even our Fangfei Hall will flourish with it."

"Oh?" He glanced at Gu Lian strangely, and snorted, "You have a brilliant tongue, you have a bit of eloquence."

Being stared at by such gazes, Gu Lian felt extremely uncomfortable, so he had to force a smile: "Young Master, you must be telling the truth."

Blessed, he wanted to retreat, but Rong Hui asked: "I don't know this young master's name, how to address him."

Gu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated a little, allowing Rong Hui and the man in black to see each other.

But it was Mo Li who answered Rong Hui, still calm and calm, "This is my brother-in-law, Mo Yi."

The faces of the people couldn't help but changed slightly, and the eyes of many people became yin and yang, and then they greeted one after another: "So it's the eldest son of the royal family of Zhou, Mr. Moyi came from a long way, why don't I, the great merchant, know about it? "

These words are clearly Hong Guoguo's deterrent meaning.

But Mo Yi smiled absent-mindedly, turned his eyes to Mo Li and said: "It's still interesting to be in the dynasty of the great merchants, with carved beams and painted buildings, evening rain and clouds, inexhaustible wine, and endless beauties. No wonder it's such a good place You don't even want to go back, Mo Li. If it were me, I would naturally want to enjoy a lifetime of happiness here."

While talking, he drank a glass of wine, holding the wine glass in an extremely elegant posture, with a playful look in his eyes, and he glanced at Gu Lian.

Gu Lian blushed and turned her face away.

But all the guests present were stunned for a moment, and then they complained that Zhou Guo was really hopeless, the prince was happy not to miss Shu, and even that Mo Yi was willing to degenerate.

But in the eyes of Baili Jiuge, there is something strange that can't be said.Although she doesn't know what kind of person Mo Li is, she knows in her heart that he is definitely not reluctant to leave, but bears the burden of humiliation.This Mo Yi seems to have a pretty good relationship with Mo Li, so he probably isn't a flamboyant person, is he?

These things are always a bit complicated for Baili Jiuge, and he can't figure out why even if he thinks about it too much.She could only watch the next development, and saw that everyone paused, and Gu Lian continued her process of blessing the body.

But seeing Gu Lianying pacing and walking in front of Mo Li, Xian Shu gave him the pink lotus in her hand.

This was a rather random action, but it silenced the audience.

And Baili Jiuge stood up suddenly, a heart seemed to jump out of his throat, and at this moment he almost shouted "Mo Li, don't pick it up!!!"

Who would have thought that the pink lotus was still in Mo Li's hands, the moment the slender hand grasped the pink lotus, Baili Jiuge's arm trembled, and the little wolf beside the inkstone was knocked off the ground at all, the sound was like a thunderclap Hitting in this silent room.

Mo Yi glanced at Baili Jiuge, then turned his gaze back, and hummed softly as if no one was there: "This flower is not bad, fresh and tender yet pure, as expected, flowers are beautiful and people are beautiful, people are more delicate than flowers."

Mo Li remained silent, and conveniently put the pink lotus into a glass vase on the small table next to her, glanced at Mo Yi lightly, and said nothing.

At this time, someone coughed on purpose.

It was a young master of the Hou family who laughed like he was watching a good show: "It seems that Zhou Shizi is the first time to come to Fangfei Hall to watch Miss Gu's dance. Miss Gu has an unwritten rule here. It is really not good for Zhou Shizi to come here. knew."

Mo Li squinted his eyes and smiled softly: "Please enlighten me."

"Hehe." The man replied: "All of us here know that Miss Gu Lian, the dancing fairy, never presents flowers to anyone. Once she presents flowers, she asks that person to marry her!"

Mo Li raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Also! If the flowers offered by Miss Gu are accepted by the guest, it means that the guest agrees to marry her!"

The moon-like eyes suddenly sank, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the ancient cave that seemed to have no end in sight, making everyone feel cold and suffocating for no reason, but there was no trace to be found.All that could be seen was that pair of clear eyes under the bright light were covered by shadows under the eyelashes, making them more and more deep and unfathomable.

With a bang, the sound of the chair falling to the ground attracted everyone's attention.

It was Baili Jiuge who knocked down the chair when he stood up.

But she didn't care about these things, she just stared at Gu Lian in shock, her all-encompassing eyes made her beautiful face twist slightly.And Gu Lian couldn't bear to look back when she looked at her like this, and dodged frequently.

Naturally, the guests didn't know that Bai Qiang was a hundred miles and nine songs, and now they were only interested in watching the good show, and some people cheered and helped Gu Lian, and sometimes laughed at Mo Li, a proton who could not live for three years, could be treated by Gu Lian, etc. Beauty fancy.

All of a sudden, there were loud noises, and the whole room was full of voices urging this marriage.

Some people even shouted: "Isn't Zhou Shizi's main concubine strong in martial arts? Now add a side concubine with excellent dancing skills. On weekdays, one dances with a sword and the other dances. Isn't it a blessing to be equal to everyone?!"

"That's right! Such a perfect thing, maybe it can cure your illness, my son! It's not in vain that we specially called you to Fangfei Hall to watch the dance!"

"Zhou Shizi, Miss Gu is unparalleled in beauty and possesses unique skills, so hurry up and take her away!"

These shouts one after another, the more they shouted, the more vigorous they became, and the more straightforward they became.It was like a thorn piercing Baili Jiuge's heart, and there seemed to be a barb between the thorns. When he thought about it, he was hurt by the barb, and his flesh was broken and bleeding.

She panted heavily, the color on her face faded, and she couldn't believe that her good sister Gu Lian... had such a heart!

His thoughts were finally strung together, Baili Jiuge finally understood, no wonder when he said goodbye to Gu Lian on the night of Rong Hui's big wedding, he felt that Gu Lian seemed to be far away from him.No wonder Mama Bustard said before that Gu Lian has been absent-minded ever since she returned to the Fangfei Hall...

Are you too stupid and dull?It's only now that I react!

Gu Lian... Even though they are good sisters who support each other, even though Gu Lian is not bad at heart.But, Gu Lian, why did she want to get involved in her and Mo Li's world like this!

At this moment, she heard Mo Li's voice, as calm as water, as clear as dew, with a slight weakness of disease, but calm.

"Miss Gu, I can't last a few years with this body. I feel so guilty for delaying Jiuge. I really can't bear to delay you any longer. What's more, Miss Gu is so talented and beautiful. If she really marries such a down-to-earth and seriously ill person, I'm afraid, it's tantamount to being a widow."

Gu Lian's face turned pale immediately, and the guests stopped booing.Everyone is discerning, even though Mo Li's tone is gentle, who can't tell that he is determined to reject Gu Lian?
For a while, many people were guessing in their hearts, thinking that this week's son was depleted of vitality and incapable of intercourse, and he was afraid that he would be difficult to deal with if there was another one, and he would die on the couch?
Such thoughts turned into whispers and reached Gu Lian's ears.

She tried to raise the corners of her mouth, and forced a smile: "What are you talking about, Your Highness, the flower I care about, I only handed it out once in my life, and there is no reason to come back. It is like this lotus flower, which is so difficult to meet. When the flower appreciator is able to get out of the mud, dare to ask the flower appreciator, can he still have the heart to let it go back into the mud again?"

When the voice fell, what was waiting was not Mo Li's answer, but Baili Jiuge's excited voice.

"Ink!"

She strode forward, and in the astonished eyes of the crowd, she rushed in front of him like a thunderbolt. At this moment, her heart was in a state of confusion like a firework bomb about to explode. She could no longer care about maintaining her identity, and shouted loudly: " Mo Li, don't forget that you promised me three things, a gentleman can't keep his word, so you must never break your promise!"

Gu Lian's face changed, a little sullen.

Mo Li narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "I remember, I still owe Miss Bai Qiang two things, please tell me, I will definitely not break my promise."

"That's good." His chest was heaving violently, and Baili Jiuge even forgot to control his voice due to the chaotic emotions.

"The second thing is, you can only have one wife, Baili Jiuge, and you can't marry anyone else!"
