This garden party is actually a popular place for the calligraphy and painting conference.

    After all, the serious calligraphy and painting tea party is a gathering of celebrities and scholars, and it has little to do with ordinary people.

    In order to show his closeness to the people, Shi Zongbing started another garden party, and got a few camels from the desert, as well as the golden lemur in the south, locked in a cage, and then hired Some jugglers put on the show everywhere to warm up the atmosphere, but it was very lively.

    It is reported that the emissary of the emperor also visited Qingzhou this time. Shi Zongbing was also happy to pretend to be the deputy Qingzhou Guotai and Minan, and charged with his official achievements.

    When Cui Xingzhou strolled to the garden party, the secret whistle guided him to Miantang and the others who were watching the monkey show.

    Because of the five pennies, Miantang got a bench seat, where she could sit and watch the monkey show while peeling peanuts. After waiting for a while, you can also feed a handful of peanuts to the monkey in the sesame official costume.

     

    But she turned her head unintentionally and saw her husband Cui Jiuli not far away, with his hands behind his back, looking at her with piercing eyes! Miantang immediately looked surprised and waved at him.

    When Cui Jiu came through the crowd, she diligently patted off the peanut skins on the bench and asked Xianggong to sit next to her, then handed him the peanuts and said: "Mother Li also said Husband, can you come in two days? Why did you come today?"

    Cui Jiu's pair of handsome eyes glanced around the surroundings calmly, and casually said: "Come with you early..."

     

    Cui Jiu tapped with a long finger, and said with long eyelashes: "The chessboard..."

    Miantang's pink cheek dimples were deeply sunken, and she looked at her husband with admiration and said, "You guessed it!"

    It's just that the people around them didn't want to watch the monkey show, and they all looked sideways at the pair of Bi people sitting in one place.

      Merry. Just let the young girls look at it, and they feel that their cheeks are flushed, and they can't bear to look away.

    Miantang naturally saw the girls staring at her husband, so she simply took the hood she put aside and put it on for Cui Jiu.

    Cui Jiu tilted her head slightly, looking at her in confusion.

    Miantang puffed up and stared at him without speaking. Her husband, who has heavy schoolwork on weekdays, is often away from home. As a serious lady, she has never seen it a few times, so why should she show it to Yanyanyingying on the street? Need to know how much money it will cost to watch the monkey show!

    Cui Xingzhou didn't know the nine twists and eighteen twists in her heart, but it was rare for Miantang not to pretend to be a virtuous woman, and she was puffing up like a child. Will Wen regret giving up such wonderful people for Li Lu to marry Shi Zongbing's fat daughter?

    However, Mrs. Liu asked him to wear a woman's hood, which was absurd.

    Qingzhou is so lively these days, and the future son-in-law of Shi Zongbing is definitely there. Since he wants to put a green crown on Lu Wen and force him to show up, how can he wear a hood to cover himself? s face?

    Thinking this way, Cui Xingzhou reached out and took the hood, patted her arm soothingly, and said, "There are so many people here, it's too noisy, I'll take you to dinner. ."

    Mian Tang also thinks that although the monkey opera is good-looking, it is definitely not suitable for her husband who has a gentle temperament. So she got up obediently and followed the official out of the crowd.

    Cui Xingzhou was not hungry, but Liu Miantang spent the whole day shopping instead of eating.

    Liu Miantang immediately changed her mind when she found out that her husband was not hungry. A serious restaurant will spend a lot of money if you want to serve a few dishes, and it is not as delicious as street snacks.

    So she dragged Cui Xingzhou to linger in front of the food stalls. Some fried mochi, steamed chicken feet drizzled with mashed garlic, and fire roasted lamb chops, many things, Cui Xingzhou hadn't even glanced at them before.

    But now, every time Liu Miantang buys one, she eagerly brings it to his mouth to taste.

    In some insignificant details, Cui Xingzhou followed Lady Liu.

    So one is fed frequently, and one is eaten.

    But the fireworks of these ordinary couples were seen in the eyes of Mama Li behind them. But a little scared.

    She grew up watching Wang Ye, what kind of temperament does her master have when he beats children? It was warm on the outside and cold on the inside.

    The old prince has a lot of concubines, and there are many brothers from Jiuye’s concubines, but unfortunately all of them take Jiuye as a thorn in the side.

    Jiu Ye clearly knows this. But he fell into the frame of his brother several times and was rejected by the old prince, but he was able to keep his face and continued to be gentle and courteous towards the brothers who harmed him.

    But when it came to the final settlement, I didn't see Jiu Ye take care of the brotherhood. The grievances and sufferings suffered in the past are all intensified and returned one by one.

    Now this Jiuye and Lady Liu are so friendly, all for other purposes. Once the prince's wish is fulfilled, will he turn his face ruthlessly when he thinks that he once kissed me and me in the inner room of a thief, and finally settle the account after the autumn?

    Thinking that Lady Liu is now devoted to the prince and living a serious life with him sincerely, Mama Li couldn't help sighing again in her heart;

    But Miantang didn't know that Li's mother was worried about her, so she only took her husband to enjoy the street scene.

    It's just that she and Cui Jiu are both beautiful people, and wherever they go, they naturally attract everyone's attention. At this time, on the most prosperous street in the market, on the high-rise building of a one-person independent inn, he looked straight at the dazzling couple on the market downstairs.

    This young man's eyes were full of pain at this time, especially when Miantang took out a silk handkerchief and tenderly wiped the corner of his mouth for the handsome man beside her. Like a sharp blade piercing his heart, he seemed to be out of breath with his hands on his chest.

    At this moment, a slender woman walked behind him, stretched out her hand to support him, and at the same time looked down suspiciously, it just happened that Miantang and Cui Jiu had turned the corner of the street, has disappeared.

    The woman didn't see anything unusual, and hurriedly called the maid behind her to bring pills to the young man, and at the same time said softly: "Ziyu, why are you feeling uncomfortable again? I've seen you frowning since yesterday, and the boss has instructed you, you can't be too worried, your mind will be heavy, it will aggravate your condition..."

     Halfway through, she saw the young man staring at the half-worn purse at his waist again, she couldn't help biting her lip slowly, and then tried her best to soothe her tone: "The slave family knows that you miss Sister Liu. , but she has already made up her mind to leave Yangshan, and others can't stop her... If she is willing to change her mind, I will definitely break her head and ask her to come back."

    Tzuyu looked at the woman who was kneeling at his feet and wept, stretched out her thin hand, lifted her up, and said, "Rise up, Yunniang, you and her are sisters who are sworn to Jinlan. , you should understand her temper. She misunderstood you and me at the beginning, and she said that she would cut off her love with me, and will never recognize her again, so how can you beg her to come back? What's more, she may have long since lost me in her heart..."

    The woman blushed and said softly; "It's all my fault..."

    She was interrupted by him before she could finish her words: "What's the matter with Qing, I didn't treat her well..."

    Speaking of this, the young man no longer spoke, but just looked at the bustling market downstairs: But...is she a good person now?

    Thinking of this, while Yunniang was leading her maid to stew the black chicken ginseng soup for him, the young man led the servant and three confidant guards, slowly pacing down the stairs, heading towards Mian Tang and Cui Jiu walked in the direction they were traveling...

    At this time, Cui Jiu and Miantang were standing at the door of Qingzhou Academy.

    There are five tables here, and on the table are the solitary games set up by the masters of the academy.

    The color of the isolated game is the seat of the calligraphy and painting meeting. That is to say, when the time comes, you can listen to the high opinions of calligraphy and painting people on the spot, and at the same time, if you have a calligraphy and painting you can take out, you can also provide it for everyone to enjoy.

    In the eyes of Miantang, this lottery is more affordable than real money! Didn't the husband say that there is no way to enter the painting and calligraphy tea party? This is not a godsend opportunity!

    Thinking of this, Miss Miantang's eyes turned red with eagerness, and she only took Cui Jiu's hand and said, "Husband, let's see what you are, we will definitely get the prize! The splendid future of the shop is all in this one!"

    But Cui Jiu didn't want Miantang to go to calligraphy and painting and it would disrupt the situation. Not to mention that when he will attend as a prince, his uncle's family and his fiancee Lian Lilan will also attend.

    So, he looked at the few chess games and said lightly: "It's too difficult to solve..."

    Listening to Cui Jiu's words, Miantang was stunned, and felt that her previous words were a little hurtful. At this time, the husband couldn't raise his eyebrows, afraid that his self-esteem was hurt by his own running?

    She hurriedly said: "The mystery of the great scholar in the academy, of course, is some Boao, husband, you haven't learned it yet, it's normal that you can't solve it, let's see if there are other doorway..."

    But before she could finish her words, a thin man suddenly walked from the side, came to a chessboard, stretched out his long fingers and moved a piece.

    When the boy in the academy saw it, he immediately said loudly: "The second table breaks the game and leads the lottery!

    ”

    Mian Tang turned her head to look intently, and saw the thin young man wearing a black cloak looking at him with sadness and melancholy.

    At that moment, her brain seemed to have been smashed by something, and the pain was unbearable, she just twisted her body habitually, and fell softly into Cui Jiu's arms.

    This scene is seen in the eyes of the young man, but Miantang does not want to see him, and turns into the arms of her new love.

    He tried his best to suppress his emotions, and whispered to the boy who came over to give the lottery: "The girl looks like she really wants this lottery, and the next one will give it to her..."

    As soon as these words came out, Cui Xingzhou raised his sharp eyes and slowly looked at the young man, and at the same time said warmly, "How can I be so gifted by your son?"

    The young man looked at her indifferently and said: "Since this master can't solve the chess game, what's the harm in my effort?"

    Cui Xingzhou smiled slowly after hearing this.

    No one dared to provoke King Huaiyang so blatantly for a long time.

    Cui Xingzhou glanced at the young man up and down with his eyes. For some reason, he always felt that he seemed familiar, so he lightly patted Miantang on the shoulder, motioned to Li's mother to support her, and then turned to the young man. Said: "Young master just solved the situation with his hand, which is very ingenious. I don't know what the son is called? Would you like to learn a thing or two with me?"

    When the young master heard Cui Jiu's words, he was in the middle of his heart. He glanced at Miantang greedily again, and said lightly at Cui Xingzhou: "I'm under the word Ziyu, I don't know what to call you?"

    Cui Xingzhou glanced at the bright-eyed guards behind Mr. Ziyu, smiled and said, "Cui Jiu is here."

    Because the chess game at table B was broken, the two simply sat cross-legged on the table at table B, collected the chess moves again, and started a new game.

    Cui Xingzhou is dressed in a moon-white robe, a jade crown and brocade belt, and his eyes are like the bright moon and stars. The young master on the opposite side was wrapped in black clothes. Although he was thin, he was elegant. The two of them were very eye-catching when they sat opposite each other, and immediately attracted countless people to watch.

    And Miantang took a sip of the water bag handed over by Li's mother at this time, and she was relieved. Seeing her husband fighting with others, she was naturally supported by Li's mother and stood aside curiously Watch the battle.

    Maybe it was the beautiful woman on the side, which aroused the competitive spirit of the black-clothed Tzuyu son.

    And Cui Xingzhou easily kept up with the speed of Mr. Ziyu, and also made a quick move.

    This is called "quick chess" in the eyes of experts. The so-called move without regrets, if you are not a superb chess player, you would never dare to play chess like this.

    The rare thing is that the two sons seem to be not weak in chess skills, and they were evenly matched for a while. Beside him, nod from time to time in approval.

    Mian Tang was just watching the fun. I felt that when my husband Cui Jiu rolled his sleeves and stretched out his long arms, his movements were both unrestrained and capable, which was simply fascinating.

    Gradually, her eyes fell on the chessboard. Although they moved very fast, it was strange that she found that she could keep up with their chess thoughts, especially the chess player. Young Master Yu, she can steadily guess the position of his move almost every time, as if... as if she had done this before.

    Just when Miantang was in shock, the speed of those two chess games slowed down. After all, at the end of the chess game, it becomes more and more complicated.

     

     

    Master Ziyu saw the disgust she stared at, and her heart shrank again: She... Really doesn't want to look at him again?

    In the midst of sadness, Cui Jiuyizi fell, winning or losing.

    It was a very tricky move, which made people convince to lose. Tzuyu raised her head solemnly this time, and took a deep look at Cui Xingzhou on the opposite side.

    The news that the people he sent out yesterday to inquire about it is very superficial. She just followed to the inn where Miantang stayed, and inquired about the inn staff, and found out that her husband's surname was Cui, who seemed to be a businessman.

    It sounds like Miantang left Yangshan Camp and was disheartened, so she just found someone to marry.

    There are not many men in the world who are worthy of Miantang, what good can she find under her anger!

    But she is determined to practice herself, but he can't let it go. She can only wait until Miantang's anger subsides and she feels regret, and then she has a way out. The big deal, he'd let go of the absurdities after she went down the mountain.

    I just heard that the man named Cui Jiu couldn't solve these general orphans, Ziyu couldn't help but feel contemptuous in his heart, so he took action to solve the mystery, and secretly reminded Mian by the way Tang, what she entrusted to her was not a human being, such a vulgar man, even if he looked better, he wouldn't be worthy of her.

    Who would have thought that this embroidered pillow-like man would be so secretive that he played an exquisite chess game, and he had no idea how much effort he spent on it.

    Mian Tang, who was beside her, was full of her husband.

    No wonder your husband can earn money by playing chess, and he plays wisely! For a time, I really felt that my face was slightly light, and I just smiled and greeted Li's mother to hand over the handkerchief, and wiped her hands for the husband who had already got up.

    Only Cui Jiu looked down at her face, which was still as white as paper, showing that the discomfort just now was not relieved.

    When he turned his head to look back, the young man named Tzuyu seemed to be unable to bear the blow of losing chess, and had led his followers to disappear into the bustling crowd.

     

    If he thinks it well, this man named Tzuyu must have a lot to do with Yangshan rebels, and let's see if he can trace some clues.

    As for Miantang... When she saw the young man, she reacted violently, did she remember something?

    Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to support Miantang who was still weak, walked out of the crowd, and went to the inn where Miantang lived.

    Perhaps this half-day parade was too exhausting. After Miantang returned to the inn, he felt a little drowsy.

    Cui Jiu listened to her screaming of a headache, so she pulled out the hairpin that was stuck on her head, loosened her long black hair, soothed her scalp, and then tentatively asked: "You I just saw that son Tzuyu, but what did you think of?"

      Question? Could it be that this Ziyu is an old friend of your husband?”

    Cui Jiu smiled and said, "I don't know him..."

    After finishing speaking, seeing Miantang still sullen, she asked Li's mother to bring the soothing decoction specially prepared by Zhao Quan for Miantang, and drank it in the heat.

    After Miantang fell asleep, the spy came back and said that the young man named Tzuyu went to a large local inn, but this inn was taken by the people of the general army ten days ago. After coming out, the whole package was packed, and the officers and soldiers guarding outside were also subordinates of Qingzhou General Shi, and most people could not get close.

    So the spies followed to the vicinity of the inn, and they had to stop.

     After Cui Xingzhou listened, he waved his hand and ordered the detective to continue to keep an eye on the inn.

    Now, he is 70% sure that the man who took the initiative to send Miantang Caitou today should be the same person who entrusted the jade shop shopkeeper to sell the jade chessboard at a low price yesterday.

    And this young man should be Miantang's previous husband, Lu Wen!

    If he was really Lu Wen, it would be far beyond Cui Xingzhou's expectations.

    Although this young man today has some sickness on his face, he is also a talent, not a bandit with a face full of flesh. Moreover, looking at his situation, he is still full of reluctance to give up to Miantang. If this is the case, his hidden weapon is on the right track. Let's see how the thief can't hold back his full of jealousy, and then come in contact with Miantang. .

    And he has to follow Mrs. Liu's side more closely...

    Moreover, when Miantang woke up, there were still chaotic dreams in her mind.

    At this time, the sun is setting in the west and the lights in the house are beginning to be turned on. And her husband is reading a book in front of a table not far from the curtain, the silhouette of a mountain-like profile makes people reluctant to look away...

    Seeing that she was awake, Cui Xingzhou put down the scroll to help her up, and said warmly, "Do you feel better?"

     

    Cui Jiu remained calm, but her eyes narrowed slightly: "What did you dream of?"

      , it was very hard to endure..."

     

    He paused, then asked warmly, "Am I with another woman?"

    Mian Tang was a little guilty when asked, and answered vaguely, but this time she was completely awake.

    Only because what she dreamed of was not Cui Xingzhou, but... the son of Tzuyu who had only one relationship!

    In the dream, she pointed at the pale-faced young man and cursed, not remembering what she scolded, but the sense of breaking from grace and righteousness is really unforgettable...

    What happened to her? Although it is a dream, it is not good to dream about other men casually!

    So when Cui Jiu asked again, she said something else and interrupted.

    But when she thought about her husband mentioning the words of Mr. Ziyu to her before going to bed, Miantang always felt that there was something strange here, should she know that Ziyu before?

     

    Thinking about what the master had just ordered, and seeing the opportunity, she might as well confide in some information to the little lady Liu, to see if she can think of Lu Wen, and Mama Li felt a little headache.

    You can't make the little lady feel wary, but also guide her to think of something implicitly. This skill of handling the clichés is too testy!

    In the end, Miantang asked him in a hurry, and Mama Li simply did not do it, and threw the words straight out with a black face: "He is Madam's former concubine..."

    As soon as these words came out, Miantang's almond eyes were about to pop out, and she flipped the bowl of jujube soup she was drinking and fell to the ground, she couldn't help raising her voice: "Mother Li, What are you talking about?"
