One day, Shangguan Die 'er saw her father returning home from the next court with a bad expression, and her brother was also angry, so she asked her brother for the reason. It turned out that due to the huge snow disaster in Yun City, the minister had requested to reduce the taxes in the disaster area. A corrupt official named Wan Quan, one of the Prime Minister's "capable generals", disagreed. He even gave a high-sounding reason. The court had already allocated disaster relief funds, but they still had to reduce taxes. If they reduced taxes for snowstorms, droughts, floods, and when they encountered problems, the national treasury would be empty. If there was a war, how would they fight against the enemy? He didn't mention how much of the disaster relief money had gone to the victims, because he had embezzled a lot of such money over the years. Shangguan Die 'er then asked for the address of that bastard.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Shangguan Die 'er put on the night-traveling clothes that she had bought on a whim one day. His face was smeared with the bottom of the pot and he even prepared lime powder. She avoided the patrolling guards and used her flying claws to sneak out of the door. She didn't expect her brother to follow behind her, and she didn't expect to meet someone-Guan Supeng. He had also received the news and was filled with righteous indignation. Thinking of her, the weak little girl's contribution to the Country of Liang and the Country of Yue, he wanted to use practical actions to teach the corrupt officials a lesson. At the same time, he suddenly had the idea of seeing the person he had been dreaming of. He separated from his brothers and came to the Shangguan Manor alone. When he saw a man in black, he became vigilant. When he saw the flying claw, he smiled and felt warm in his heart. He quietly followed her, and seeing that the route was to the bad guy's residence, he took a step ahead.
Shangguan Die 'er came to the Wan family's house and used some tools to climb over the wall. She stood on a tree and looked at the house in a daze.
Suddenly, Shangguan Die 'er heard a soft voice,""What are you looking at?" It was Guan Supeng's voice.
"Enjoy the scenery. The night was vast and dark, and a few families were happy and a few were sad.”Shangguan Die 'er forced herself to remain calm, thinking that she was even worse than a rookie. This person had come to his side without anyone noticing. He had to be careful! She originally wanted to scout the way first, then give the other party a show of strength with Xiao Liang and the others. His English was fluent, and he could speak a few words in Uighur and Cantonese. He also had the potential to act. He should not be able to implicate the government and Prince Li's residence by pretending to be crazy and acting silly. Alas, the army did not win, the body died first, long make the hero tears full of clothes. She noticed that he was wearing an eyepatch and was also dressed in night clothes. Could he be a like-minded " comrade "? Gentleman on Liang? Would they kill him to keep him silent? Shangguan Die 'er's heart was in a mess. Thinking of the revolutionary martyrs, she couldn't back down. She quietly prepared lime. If he attacked, she couldn't be at a disadvantage. After all, she had fought with the guard before. She first injured his eyes and then used the flying claw to destroy his face.
"I heard that the person inside is not a good person. I want to go and take a look. Are you interested?”Guan Supeng teased. At the same time, he was shocked by the makeup on her face.
"Alright, don't miss it.”The other party had spoken her mind, so she didn't have to pretend and remained vigilant.
"Sorry for offending you." Guan Supeng brought her down the tree easily. Shangguan Die 'er let down her guard. She could feel that he was an expert in that jump just now. If the other party had any killing intent, she would have died long ago.
Guan Supeng held Shangguan Die 'er's hand and was overjoyed. He had never thought that he would be so close to the person he cared about. He really wanted to take her to the end of the world, but he couldn't put her in danger. He did not hesitate and quickly brought her to the room where the treasure was hidden.
"You're familiar with this place." Shangguan Die 'er teased.”
Guan Supeng smiled and lit a small candle. The boxes were opened one by one.
"Wow!" Shangguan Die 'er couldn't help but praise. After admiring it for a moment, he scolded,"This bastard is really not a good person."”She opened a box and shouted,""Yay! Night-Luminescent Pearls." She took out one and put it in her pocket. She handed the other one to Guan Supeng and said,""A good helper in the dark, saves energy and has zero discharge.”
Similarly, Guan Supeng gave her a pearl bracelet and a gold bracelet with gemstones. They were much more expensive and exquisite than wooden bracelets. Shangguan Die 'er smiled and refused. The bracelet her mother gave her was what she cherished the most.
"Are we going to split these things?" Guan Supeng asked with a smile.
"I see that your skills are not bad. You keep a portion of it and exchange the other portion for the necessities of the people. Find some people to send it to the victims of Cloud City. Just say that it's a generous donation to help the victims. Lord Wan, thank you!" Shangguan Die 'er said with a smile. The last sentence was a complete joke.
"Aren't you worried that I'll take it for myself?" Guan Supeng said as he sent Shangguan Die 'er out of the courtyard.
"No, there's no greed in your eyes. Otherwise, you would have attacked me long ago.”
"I will never hurt you."
Shangguan Die 'er didn't hear this clearly. What had happened just now was like a dream, and she hadn't fully recovered from it. "Be careful!”He quickly left.
Guan Supeng put on a mask and arranged for his men to move all the belongings. Not long after, the room was empty, and the words " Thank you " were added to the wall.
Shangguan Yu watched them go in and out from the tree. Guan Supeng suddenly sensed a pair of eyes watching all of this. He was about to make a move, but when he realized it was Shangguan Yu, he dispelled his hostility.
They brought the treasure to the door of a rice shop, and someone quickly moved the treasure into the house. This was also the property of the Carefree Palace. Several carriages were already prepared with silver, food, and medicinal herbs. Su Yue and Uncle Ji were in charge of the transportation mission. When Su Yue wore the mask, he was the young palace master. When he revealed his true appearance, he was Uncle Ji's "nephew". After Guan Supeng gave a few instructions, they headed straight for Cloud City. The others also left after finishing their work.
Only Shangguan Yu and Su Peng were left in the rice shop. Guan Supeng took off his mask and blindfold. Shangguan Yu recognized him, the beggar from that day. Guan Supeng confessed that he was the leader of Carefree Palace and admitted that it was Carefree Palace who shot the poisoned arrow.
Their conversation revolved around the people they loved. Shangguan Yu asked him to stay away from his sister, and Guan Supeng expressed that other than this condition, everything else was fine. As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands. However, words were useless. The two of them fought. Their martial arts were equally matched and they were locked in a fight. In the end, Guan Supeng took the initiative to stop and swore that he would not let Miss Shangguan and the Shangguan family suffer any harm or danger. Shangguan Yu decided to let go for the time being and let his sister do whatever she wanted to make up for the regrets of the past twenty years. In his heart, he admitted that he didn't particularly hate Guan Supeng. It was just that he didn't want to work together.
Within a day, the news of "Hero Xie" visiting the Wan Family spread through the streets and alleys. Wanquan lay motionless on the bed. What happened? Seeing that the treasure had disappeared, she panicked and had a stroke. The two restless concubines in the house took the opportunity to search the residence again and ran away with their private money. A few days later, news came from Yun Cheng. Wanquan generously donated to save the country and the people. Gao Xijie guessed the reason and issued an edict to praise Lord Wan for his "loyalty and bravery" and conferred him the title of "Marquis of Righteousness". After the doctor's treatment, Wanquan's body had improved. When he heard this news, he was so furious that he rolled his eyes and hung up. Others thought that he was too excited and felt sorry for him.
This matter was like a gust of wind that had no effect on others. In the blink of an eye, people began to discuss other topics, such as a certain lord's concubine eloping with someone, or a certain young lady getting pregnant before marriage.
……
One day, Shangguan Die 'er saw that her family members didn't look too good and asked for the reason. It turned out that she had an uncle called Shangguan Ang, who was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. His eldest daughter was the concubine of the sixth prince. His two sons were both disappointing, typical rice worms. The most precious was his second daughter, Shangguan Feiyan. She was talented and beautiful, and was a famous person in the capital. He planned to make his daughter the emperor's woman. Because of Shangguan Min, the Duke's Public House had lost face several times. Shangguan Ang and the others took pleasure in this and sent invitations to them to attend Shangguan Feiyan's eighteenth birthday banquet.
"Big brother, let's go with Yun. Let's see how high and how far that little swallow can fly.”Shangguan Die 'er said. She wanted everyone to know that there were no cowards in the Duke's estate.
The next day, Shangguan Die 'er attended the banquet as Song Xiaobei, the adopted daughter of Duke Zhenguo's Public House. She even deliberately made her appearance very different from her original appearance. It didn't matter if Song Xiaobei made a mistake, but Shangguan Die 'er couldn't. She met her uncle, who was full of brains and intestines. He was the representative of the " great rat ", and her aunt was a typical snob. She also saw Shangguan Feiyan, who was surrounded by stars. The woman was indeed pretty, but part of her beauty was due to her makeup, unlike her sister's natural beauty. Shangguan Feiyan was like a proud princess. The sons and daughters of the Shu family did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of her.
A few bonfires were burning brightly in the courtyard, and there were people watching over them. There were already many young ladies and young talents gathered nearby. They did not care about Shangguan Die 'er and Shangguan Yun. Shangguan Yun had been bullied by Shangguan Min for many years and had developed a timid personality. The host and guests were not interested in the adopted daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
Shangguan Yu's forte was painting, followed by the zither. Several young masters pestered Shangguan Yu, but they insisted that he write a poem for the painting. The self-righteous few of them had indeed composed a poem, but it was just a limerick. Shangguan Die 'er found it funny.
The Duke's Public House could not lose face. She saw that one of them was drawing a pine tree in the courtyard, which was covered in snow. She smiled and said,"Brother, you had a good dream yesterday. In your dream, didn't the transcendent master recite a poem? Don't be too humble."
Shangguan Yu was confused.
Shangguan Die 'er smiled and said,"Big brother still doesn't want to admit it. You wrote it on the paper, and I saw it."‘The heavy snow pressed down on the pine trees, and the pine trees stood tall and straight. You must know that the pine trees are noble and pure, and when the snow melts, they will be buried.'”
Everyone exclaimed.
Shangguan Die 'er pointed at a painting of plum blossoms and said slowly,"The more awe-inspiring the wind is, the more resolute the flower is. When the time comes, I'll wander away. I'm ashamed to beg for mercy from Dongjun.”
Everyone was intoxicated.
Shangguan Die 'er wrote a poem for each of the paintings. She even declared that as long as Shangguan Yu had good dreams, he would have good poems.
Only then did everyone know that Shangguan Yu was the best at painting and poetry, hiding his true colors. They all admitted defeat and behaved with their tails between their legs.
Shangguan Yu's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart.
Everyone pointed their fingers at Shangguan Die 'er and asked her to play the zither.
Shangguan Yu immediately refused and gave a very good reason,""I'm worried that my sister's hand will hurt."
"But is the adopted daughter of the Defender Duke that delicate? If your hands hurt from playing the piano, why don't you dance for everyone? Will your feet hurt after dancing?”Shangguan Feiyan said sourly. She was very unhappy that the light that belonged to her had been snatched away. In fact, her forte was only playing the piano and dancing. In these two aspects, she was only slightly better than some women. She was very unconvinced and wanted to make the Duke's Public House lose face.
It was a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that could not be avoided. Shangguan Die 'er pulled her brother and sister to the side and sang a song herself. After Shangguan Yu heard it, he was willing to play the zither for his sister. He tried a few tunes and felt that it was still wrong. When everyone heard this, they were all waiting for a good show.
Shangguan Die 'er made her preparations and entered the stage. With a look, the zither started playing and she slowly sang," That year, the snow fell and the plum blossoms bloomed. That year, there were too many worries left by the Huaqing Pool. Don't talk about who was right and who was wrong. I just want to get drunk with you again in my dreams..." As she sang, she moved her body to the music.
The sound of the zither and the singing were like the sounds of nature. The dance was graceful and picturesque. This scene should only exist in the sky. Everyone felt as if they were in the midst of the beautiful scene.
Shangguan Feiyan was ashamed of her talent. There was no light in her eyes, but jealousy and hatred.
When she was in university, Shangguan Die 'er was fascinated by Li Yugang's " The Drunken Concubine " and became " Gangsi " with a group of sisters. They all imitated it. Shangguan Die 'er was very familiar with the performance.
The Xiao brothers couldn't stand everyone's rude requests. Miss's eyes told them that the matters of Duke Zhenguo should be settled by their own people. The two of them suppressed their anger. After seeing that everyone was in awe, they showed extra respect to the young miss.
Shangguan Ang and many others were shocked. They all knew that Xiao Ming and his brother were the capable subordinates of the Leng King. They thought that they were here to accompany Shangguan Yu, but they didn't expect that they were here to protect the two young ladies. They were terrified.
The banquet was very boring. Many people with fake smiles appeared around Shangguan Die 'er and Shangguan Yun. Shangguan Yu and his sisters left early.
Everyone knew that there were hidden talents in the Duke's estate, so no one dared to speak rudely.
