The moon is as bright as water, and the sound of the waterfall is endless, although Qi Ning has been mentally prepared, but when he hears Xiang Baiying say this, he is still a little surprised in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, many questions in Qi Ning's heart became clear in an instant.

Xiang Baiying is the leader of the beggar gang, Qi Ning has not heard of any intersection between this person and Jinyihou, but this Xiang Baiying not only came to the rescue, but also taught the method of pranayama luck, and even taught kung fu, which has always made Qi Ning a little puzzled, at this time, I heard that Xiang Baiying and Liu Suyi had a relationship, and I immediately understood in my heart.

"Your mother was not yet twenty years old." Xiang Baiying said with a smile: "I still remember that she was under the Zhuo Qingyang Gate of Qionglin Academy, and she happened to come home from the academy that day, and she saw me, a drunk lying in the snow, on the way, hehe, I was unkempt at that time, and I fell on the street, like a flower child, in fact, every winter, there are not a few people who freeze to death on the street." ”

Qi Ning said: "She saw you lying on the snow, so she saved you?" ”

"When I woke up, I was already lying in an inn." Xiang Baiying recalled: "After I woke up, I asked the shopkeeper in the inn what was going on, and the shopkeeper told me that it was the young lady of Liu Shilang's family who sent me to the inn. smiled and said: "I owe such a great favor, I will repay Baiying for my kindness, so naturally I want to find her to thank her." ”

"And what happened?" Qi Ning hurriedly asked, "Did you see her?" ”

Xiang Baiying said: "Naturally, I saw it." After all, she is a boudoir lady, I can't go to her in person, so I asked someone to give her a generous gift, hehe, your mother not only didn't accept a gift, but also sent a picture of her own back. Do you know what you're drawing? ”

Qi Ning shook his head and smiled at Baiying: "In the painting, it is a snowy day, a pig is lying on the snow, and next to the pig, a big wine tank is also drawn. ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly, thinking that Liu Suyi's painting was of course ridiculing Xiang Baiying not only as a drunkard, but also drunk as a dead pig, which was really naughty.

Xiang Baiying said: "Your mother's painting skills are good, but it's a pity that I have such painting skills, because I drew that picture, hahaha, I also had a little knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I also painted a painting and sent it back, and the painting explained that I was drinking with the beggars, so I would get drunk on the street." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this talented person was really different, and when he communicated, he actually used paintings to convey words.

"In the next few days, your mother will talk to me like this, and since she saved my life, I naturally want to make it clear to her what happened." Xiang Baiying smiled: "I remember that afternoon, I was drinking in a tavern, and suddenly I saw a young man sitting down opposite me, at that time I liked to be alone, and unkempt, suddenly there was such a handsome man with good clothes and fine skin and tender flesh sitting opposite me, do you say weird?" ”

"Uncle Xiang, shouldn't that handsome boy be..... It can't be me dressing up as a man, right? Qi Ning asked with a smile.

He saw that when Xiang Baiying mentioned the incident, he kept smiling on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood, thinking that Xiang Baiying was injured, if he could maintain a happy mood, it would only be good for his injury, plus Qi Ning was extremely curious about Liu Suyi's affairs, and finally got some information from Xiang Baiying, so he naturally wanted to know more.

Xiang Baiying smiled: "Yes, she is dressed as a man, I knew it at a glance, and I knew at that time that she was your mother." After thinking about it for a while, he said slowly: "Although I knew it was her at a glance, she was a housekeeper, and she ran to the small wine recipe on the street to see me, which still surprised me very much." ”

"My mother will never share a bar with you?"

Xiang Baiying shook his head and said, "Your mother doesn't like alcoholics, she came to me to persuade me to quit drinking from now on." ”

"Uncle Xiang is still drinking now, so my mother naturally didn't succeed in persuasion."

Xiang Baiying shook his head and said, "You are wrong. Your mother did ask me not to drink anymore, but I have a wine worm in my stomach, where can I agree, but your mother is smart and kind, I wanted to worship with her as a brother and sister at that time, your mother was also happy, did not look down on me, promised to worship with me, but she wants to be a sister, I need to be his brother. Speaking of this, he laughed and said, "I am many years older than her, and it is really unreasonable for him to want to be my sister." ”

"And what happened?"

"But your mother is my life-saving benefactor, and I can't refuse directly." Xiang Baiying said: "Your mother has an idea, let me try my painting skills with her, whoever has good painting skills will be the best." She also added a condition that if she wins, I will not be able to drink alcohol from now on. Shaking his head and saying: "If you don't drink a drop of wine, of course I can't agree, but your mother has already prepared, she knows that it is impossible for me to quit drinking completely, so I prepared a bag of wine all the time, let me promise, if she wins, from now on, I can only drink a bag of wine at most a day, if I drink a drop more, I am not a hero, not a man." ”

Qi Ning was stunned, took the wine bag, and saw that this wine bag was made of cowhide, although it was still very strong, but it was very old, obviously it had been used for many years, and before he could ask, Xiang Baiying had already said: "This wine bag in your hand was given to me by her back then, and it is also something that I have always kept by my side." Speaking of this, his expression turned gloomy.

Qi Ning bowed slightly, and asked, "Uncle Xiang's painting skills are not as good as my mother?" ”

"Speaking from my heart, although your mother's painting skills are good, they are still slightly inferior to me." Xiang Baiying sighed lightly: "I am young and vigorous, and I want to try my painting skills with your mother, and I will naturally win, so I agreed to her conditions." She proposed that she should take the exam, and I saw that she was younger than me, so let her be, and thought that in the end, it was the drawing skills, and no matter what tricks she played, I would never lose to her. ”

Qi Ning actually already knew that the result of this competition was of course Liu Suyi's victory, but since Xiang Baiying's painting skills were higher than Liu Suyi's, how could he be won by Liu Suyi?

Xiang Baiying snorted, motioned to Qi Ning to feed him some water to drink, took a sip of water, and then continued: "At that time, there were seven or eight people in the small wine shop, all of whom came to see the excitement, and your mother proposed that I paint with her at the same time, draw a portrait, and see who paints more like, and the few people present comment, who paints more like, who is the winner." ”

"Who are you going to draw?" Qi Ning asked.

Xiang Baiying glared and said, "Who do you say?" She...... She wants to paint like me! ”

"Huh?" Qi Ning was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.

"No wonder that little girl also set a strange rule, why should she sit face to face with her, except for a piece of paper and a pen, you must not use anything else, you think, she sits opposite me, and looks at me clearly, I ...... I can't use a mirror, how can I ..... How do you know how you look? Xiang Baiying said angrily: "From the beginning, your mother set a trap and let me get in, I ...... I fell for her. ”

Qi Ning laughed, thinking that Liu Suyi was really clever and naughty, he knew that a person might have a general impression of his appearance, but painting with his bare brush, if he wanted to paint his own appearance out of thin air, it was an extremely difficult thing, and the more things around him, the easier it was for people to ignore.

"So Uncle Xiang has been my mother's sworn brother since then." Qi Ning smiled: "From that day on, you will ...... You're going to drink with this wine bag? ”

Xiang Baiying sighed: "Who said it wasn't. At the beginning, I only had a bag of wine every day, which was really not very customary, but a manly man made a mountain of words, so he naturally couldn't regret it. After a pause, he smiled and said, "If I win that game, you have to call me Uncle Xiang, not Uncle Xiang." ”

Qi Ning didn't expect Liu Suyi to have such a relationship with Xiang Baiying, and the strangest thing about him was why Liu Suyi later became a taboo in the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, so he lost no time in asking: "Uncle Xiang, did you also participate in my mother's wedding?" ”

Xiang Baiying said: "My mother and I are sisters and brothers, originally she got married, I naturally wanted to participate, but ...... Hehe, that time I happened to get rid of a big villain, and I couldn't catch up with the wedding, so I could only send someone to send a generous gift, but I couldn't help your mother. But...... But I promise your mother that when she gives birth to her first child, I will be there. ”

"That'...... So you arrived later? Qi Ning hurriedly asked.

applied to Baiying but was gloomy, and said with a wry smile: "When your mother was pregnant, she was always in the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and no one was allowed to see her in the Jinyi Hou Mansion, although I wanted to enter the mansion to have a look, but I never had any friendship with the Jinyi Hou Mansion." After a pause, he said: "Your mother is everyone's best girl, and I Xiang Baiying had a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes at that time, so I was a sister and brother with her, and few people knew about it, and I couldn't ruin her reputation." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, and asked, "Uncle Xiang, besides that, how much else do you know about my mother?" ”

"I was drifting around on the rivers and lakes at that time, and in the first two years, I went to your mother once or twice a year to talk to her about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then ...... Later, I handed over Fengjian Villa to Brother Lu, and I got into the beggar gang in a daze, and I was busy, so I saw less. Xiang Baiying said slowly: "I remember that the year I left Fengjian Villa, it was when your mother was pregnant with you, so I went to the capital on a special trip, but I didn't see your mother." I wanted to wait until you were born, but .....! Speaking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The news from the Marquis of Jinyi's mansion is that your mother will ...... immediately after giving birth to you because of her weak health!" His voice choked, but he couldn't speak.

Qi Ning was shocked and said, "You mean...... Are you saying my mother is ......? ”

Xiang Baiying's eyes flushed, and he nodded slightly: "It is said that when your mother gave birth to you, she had a difficult birth, and the mother and child could not all be saved...... But he died due to difficult childbirth. Staring at Qi Ning, he said solemnly: "So your mother gave her life in order to keep you safe." ”
