Xu Jin walked lightly into the house, but saw a graceful woman standing in front of the window, and the faint moonlight outside the window sprinkled a layer of hazy light on her body, like a dream, as if in a painting.

From Xu Jin's point of view, he could just see the side of this woman, her hair was scattered behind her back, her long eyelashes were hanging down quietly, her cheeks were like snow under Yao's nose, and a simple bamboo flute was lightly pressed against the bright cherry lips.

Xu Jin couldn't help but see that he was in a god, standing quietly in place, and at this moment, a poem couldn't help but pop up in his mind: The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze is full of dew. If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon.

The general meaning of the poem is: your appearance and clothing are so beautiful and moving, that even Caiyun and peonies have to come to dress up for you, the spring breeze is swaying, the railing is lightly blowing, the beautiful peony flowers are even more beautiful in the crystal dew, and your beauty is really like a fairy. If I didn't see you in the fairyland jade mountain, then I could only appreciate your face in the Yaotai of the Queen Mother of the West.

This poem is used by Li Bai to praise Yang Guifei, at this time it is obviously not appropriate to describe Wang Cuiqiao in front of her, she does not have Yang Guifei's grace and gorgeousness, but her quiet beauty full of aura is also overwhelming, as if the Yaotai fairy descended to earth.

Gradually, the sound of the flute came down tactfully, still at the last note, and there was silence, but Xu Jin's ears seemed to have the sound of the flute echoing, and it was estimated that this was the aftermath of what the ancients said.

Wang Cuiqiao put down the bamboo flute, sighed faintly, turned around slowly, his eyes touched Xu Jin, and he was suddenly shocked and screamed softly, and the bamboo flute in his hand fell to the ground with a "tom", covering his chest and turning pale.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be surprised, only then did he realize that he was scared by this uninvited guest, and hurriedly said: "Miss Cuiqiao, don't panic, this official ...... In the lower Xu Jin. ”

In fact, Wang Cuiqiao also noticed that someone was coming in, but he only thought it was a close-fitting maid and a wild goose, but when he turned around, he saw a man, and he was naturally surprised.

Xu Jin stepped forward to pick up the bamboo flute on the ground and handed it back to Wang Cuiqiao, and explained apologetically: "The official suddenly heard the sound of the flute turning gracefully, and thought it was early spring and early summer, so he came in to take a look, but I didn't expect that it was the girl Cuiqiao who was making a flute under the moon, but the official was abrupt, I'm really sorry......!" ”

Xu Jin was still explaining very calmly, but when his gaze swept over Wang Cuiqiao's chest, he couldn't help but breathe tightly, and his eyes were a little straight. It turned out that Wang Cuiqiao was only wearing a thin summer shirt at the moment, and it was estimated that there was no belly pocket to bind her chest, so the two outlines on her chest were faintly visible.

Wang Cuiqiao subconsciously lowered her head according to Xu Jin's gaze, and was suddenly ashamed, and hurriedly turned around, even her slender neck was red.

Xu Jin was embarrassed, and the hand that handed out the bamboo flute froze in mid-air, and the air seemed to be frozen. Wang Cuiqiao couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground at this time, and stomped his feet and said in shame: "Cuiqiao is not neat, please ask Lord Xu to avoid it." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat, and hurriedly put the bamboo flute on the coffee table next to him, and slipped out in embarrassment.

"Hey, the maid has seen Master Xu."

As soon as Xu Jin walked out of the house, he met Qiu Yan who came back from outside, the latter was carrying a cup of soup and water, it was estimated that he came back from the kitchen, and when he saw Xu Jin, he stood still and gave a salute.

Xu Jin smiled reluctantly and said, "Miss Qiuyan doesn't have to be polite, oh, you are busy, say goodbye!" With that, he walked out of the yard quickly.

Qiu Yan blinked strangely, turned around and walked into the house, at this time Wang Cuiqiao had already taken his coat from the inside and put it on, covering himself tightly.

"Miss, did Lord Xu come just now?" Qiu Yan put the cup of soothing tea on the coffee table and asked curiously.

Wang Cuiqiao had regained her usual tranquility, nodded slightly, and said, "Lord Xu heard the sound of the flute, so come and take a look." ”

Qiu Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Miss deliberately seduces Lord Xu with a, why don't you leave Lord Xu to sit for a while?" ”

Wang Cuiqiao said with a slight annoyance: "Lead you to a big-headed ghost, people just can't sleep, and I see the moonlight in this window, so I can't help but play a song, who knows he will come." ”

Qiu Yan playfully stuck out her tongue.

Xu Jin returned to the yard where he lived in embarrassment, and as soon as he walked into the house, he almost bumped into Chu Chun, and the latter asked curiously: "The maid just went to the study to deliver sugar water to the master and didn't see anyone, master, where did you go just now?" ”

"No, the moonlight outside is good, so take a walk, by the way, how can Miss Cuiqiao live in the courtyard next door?" Xu Jin stretched out his hand to pick up the bowl of lotus seed syrup on the table, and asked while drinking it.

Chu Chun stroked his forehead and shouted softly: "Oh, the maid forgot to tell the master, recently the Wang family taught the maid and the early summer qin music, so I live next door across the courtyard, just now I seem to have heard the Wang family, could it be that the master went to see the Wang family?" ”

Xu Jin sweated, nodded and said: "Master Ben thought it was you and Chu Xia who were doing a, so I went over to take a look, but I didn't know that it was Cuiqiao girl who was, so I was embarrassed." ”

Chu Chun stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice: "Master, the maid has recently learned to sing from the king, and the maid can also blow that tune, will the maid blow it to the lord another day?" ”

"Uh...... That's a good idea! Xu Jin's eyes couldn't help but fall on the pretty maid's bright little mouth.

Chu Chun obviously didn't realize that his master was evil, and after Xu Jin drank the sugar water, he poured a cup of tea for him to rinse, and said: "Master, this is soothing tea, let's drink some after rinsing your mouth, and sleep peacefully tonight." ”

Xu Jin rinsed his mouth and drank the remaining half cup of tea, and then said strangely: "Why did you make me tea to calm the gods?" ”

Chu Chun replied: "I met Qiu Yan in the kitchen just now to make tea for the king, so I asked her for a cup by the way, sir...... The lord is tired today, and drinking some soothing tea is good for his health. After the pretty girl finished speaking, her face flushed.

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, no wonder Wang Cuiqiao's at night was probably insomnia, so he wanted to drink soothing tea, thinking about what was going on.

"By the way, sir, there is something for you." Chu Chun said with a hint of anger on his face.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh lightly: "What's the matter, could it be that someone who didn't open his eyes provoked you?" ”

Chu Chun shook his head and said, "The servant is a subordinate, who will provoke the servant." It's the king who is in trouble, that Lingbi Hou Tang Shaozong is so annoying, pestering the king like a fly, and a few days ago he also sent someone to the door to give gifts, threatening to accept the king as concubines, and the king was forced to have no choice, so he moved to live with us. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, what he did was to let Wang Cuiqiao learn to sing with Wang Cuiqiao in early spring and early summer, which was nothing more than to show the outside world that Wang Cuiqiao was his Xu Jinbao, Tang Shaozong even dared to pester Wang Cuiqiao, obviously not putting himself in his eyes.

"Master, can you help Wang everyone?" In the early spring, the two sisters were also sold to the Qinglou that year, but they were later bought by the Wei State Mansion, and later they were lucky to enter the Xu Mansion, so they were very sympathetic to Wang Cuiqiao, who was also born in the dust.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "I'll deal with this matter, by the way, what about early summer?" ”

Chu Chun said suddenly: "She has already gone to bed and fallen asleep." ”

Xu Jin entered the room lightly, and sure enough, he saw the girl sleeping soundly on the couch in early summer, her face was as red as drunk, even in her sleep, she frowned, and her legs were curled. Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat, this girl didn't know what to do, Chu Chengyulu dared to take the initiative to pester herself to ask for plum blossoms, this time it is estimated that she has tasted the bitterness.

Xu Jin pulled the slippery thin quilt for Chu Xia, and then walked to the side of the bed and stretched his waist, Chu Chun immediately helped him change into pajamas very considerately, and made the bed, and then whispered: "Go to sleep, sir, it's late!" ”

As soon as Xu Jin stretched out his hand, he picked up the pretty maid and put her on the bed, and said with a smile: "Don't sleep outside, let's sleep in bed with Master Ben tonight." ”

Chu Chun blushed and whispered, "Master...... When she left Beijing, the lady instructed the maid to let the master pay attention to moderation. ”

Xu Jin secretly screamed ashamed, it seems that Xiao Wan arranged for her to follow her to Jiangnan in early spring and early summer, and she had already made plans to let them warm her bed, and said in a low voice: "What do you think, the master just wants to sleep with someone in his arms." ”

"Oh, that maid blew the lamp first." In the early spring, he got up and blew out the oil lamp, took off his clothes in the dark, climbed into bed wearing only a close-fitting coat, and curled up in the arms of the old man very obediently.

It is estimated that it was the reason for drinking the soothing tea, Xu Jin quickly fell asleep, and he was still bedridden until the next day.

In early summer, I went to bed early last night, and I got up early, and when I saw my sister sleeping in bed with my lord, I yawned and went out with a small mouth, and went to the kitchen to prepare washing water for my lord.

"Early Summer!"

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard in early summer, she heard someone calling her, rubbed her eyes, and then saw Wang Cuiqiao's master and servant standing in front of her, and hurriedly bowed and shouted: "Master Wang!" ”

In the early spring and early summer, he is now learning to sing with Wang Cuiqiao, so he is a disciple in front of her.

Wang Cuiqiao saw the sleepy eyes in early summer, and couldn't help frowning, it seems that Lord Xu is indeed too tolerant of his subordinates, as a maid, he slept until this hour before getting up, how can it really be reasonable. However, as an outsider, Wang Cuiqiao was not easy to accuse, and asked, "In early summer, did Lord Xu get up?" ”

Chu Xia shook his head honestly and said, "The master hasn't gotten up yet, and Master Wang has something to do with him?" ”

Wang Cuiqiao shook his head secretly, there is really a master and a servant, what time has it been, he is still bedridden, and said calmly: "Disturb for many days, Cuiqiao originally wanted to say goodbye to Lord Xu, since the adult hasn't gotten up yet, then forget it, you can talk to me in the early summer." ”

Chu Xia said curiously: "Why does Master Wang suddenly want to leave, not worrying about Lingbi Hou pestering you?" ”

After last night's incident, Wang Cuiqiao was naturally embarrassed to live here again, and said indifferently: "Now that Lord Xu has returned to Yangzhou, Lingbi Hou should not dare to make a mistake." ”

Chu Xia nodded thoughtfully, his master had just entered the city yesterday and arrested Jiang Ping, the prefect of Yangzhou, if the Marquis of Lingbi was clever, he would not dare to mess around again, so he politely sent Wang Cuiqiao's master and servant out.

Wang Cuiqiao's master and servant left Qincha's residence, and Qiu Yan said a little worriedly: "Miss, we really want to go back to the original place to live, will the Jinyi guards under Lingbi Hou still be guarded?" ”

Wang Cuiqiao was also a little unsure, and said after a while: "Why don't we go to the Daming Temple outside the city to spend the night temporarily, and we just go to the health hall to see those little guys." ”

Qiu Yan's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "This method is good." ”

At that moment, the two of them bought some fruits and snacks in the market, and then went out of the city to Daming Temple.

Besides, Xu Jin didn't get up until about ten o'clock in the morning, freshened up and had breakfast under the service of two pretty maids, and was about to go to the government to interrogate Jiangping, the prefect of Yangzhou, when Erniu led a small official from the household department to run in a hurry.

It is said that Xu Jin and Xia Yan are the two envoys this time, responsible for the land of Qingzhang Nanzhili and Zhejiang provinces, and take a group of household officials to do clerical work, otherwise they have to do trivial things themselves, then they will be tired to death.

This household official is called Zheng Zhi, who is working beside Xia Yan, and as soon as he sees Xu Jin, he anxiously reports: "Lord Xu, it's not good, the Daming Temple is about to fight, you hurry up and take a look!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who fought with whom?" ”

"The monks of Daming Temple and our people, Lord Xia Yan is not here at the moment, so the little one can only ask Lord Xu to come forward......"

The little official was not very articulate, and he talked a lot about it, and Xu Jincai finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that today Zheng Zhi took people to prepare the land under the name of Qingzhang Daming Temple, but was strongly obstructed by the monks, and the two sides almost fought, but at this time Xia Yan was not in the city, so Zheng Zhi came to find Xu Jin.

It is worth mentioning here that the temples and Taoist temples of the Ming Dynasty did not have to pay taxes on the fields under their names, and because of this, some people, and even the gentry would secretly take refuge in the names of temples and Taoist temples to evade taxes.

Because of this, especially those temples where incense is prosperous, most of them are so rich that they are full of oil, such as Daming Temple, which is located in the suburbs of Yangzhou, is a famous temple and ancient temple, needless to say, thousands of acres of fertile land are all industries belonging to Daming Temple.

Xu Jin couldn't help but raise his sword eyebrows, the monks of Daming Temple were so arrogant, knowing that he was in Yangzhou City, and he dared to openly obstruct the land of Qingzhang.

At that moment, Xu Jin called Xie Erjian and Wang Lin'er, and took fifty soldiers out of the city to Daming Temple, Lu Bing, this kid, naturally would not miss this kind of excitement, and brought a hundred brocade guards to follow Xu Jin proudly.

Lu Bing is very strange, where did a group of monks get the confidence to be just right with Feng Zhiqin, could it be that they ate the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard?
