Chapter 132: Bright Flowers (1)
Now it is said that Jian Xi and Mu Hong have been setting up a tea stall in Beicheng for two years, and Jian Xi has slowly become familiar with the life in this market, and everyone has gradually accepted the two Mu brothers. At the beginning of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info everyone saw that the cut was beautiful in the past, and they were curious to say and laugh. Over time, everyone only thought that she was a little doll with a boy and a girl, and gradually put it aside. Only Da Lang is called Mu Hong, and Xiao Lang is called Jian Xi.
In the past few years, with the gradual calming down of the things of the year, the past has really passed a few years of stable life. In the past, she laughed and chatted with the pedestrians and foot merchants who came and went all day long, and there was always a peaceful and joyful smile on her face, as if the things of the year had long been gone away with the wind, and she had also been consumed by the years.
But only Mu Hong stared at the increasingly bright smile on Jian Xi's face and secretly felt sorry, he knew how much sadness was hidden under Jian Xi's seemingly peaceful face. On more than one occasion, when he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he could faintly hear the unconcealable sorrow in her room. Jian Xi hid all his fragility in the dark, and the shallow choking that was tightly suppressed in his throat was like a sharp knife poking into Mu Hong's heart one after another.
In the face of such a strong and stubborn cut, Mu Hongshi didn't know how to comfort him. Mu Hong had to pretend that he didn't know again and again, but in the blink of an eye, he mustered up his energy to inquire about everything related to Xie Mansion.
Under the careful investigation of the two in the past few years, although there has been no good progress, they have also inquired about a lot of secret affairs of the Xie family. Although it is just a rumor, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but it always gives Jian Xi a hint of comfort that is better than nothing.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and I don't know that it has been 33 years of Chongde. It has been three years since the events of that year, although it is not a vicissitudes of life, but there are several major events that have happened in this holy capital.
At the end of the thirtieth year of Chongde, Xie Tingyue, the son of the Xie family, suddenly fell ill and died. His father, Xie Yongzhong, lost his son and fell ill. Emperor Xiao remembered that his Xie family was loyal to the martyrs, and could not bear the torture of a generation of loyal ministers, so he sent a special imperial doctor in the palace to stay in the Xiangguo Mansion and take care of Xie Yongzhong day and night. Who knew that Xie Yongzhong's illness actually triggered the old disease, and he has not improved at all since he was sick.
At the beginning of the 31st year of Chongde, Xiao Yong, the king of Kang, drunk and galloped in the city, injuring several innocent people. Emperor Xiao was furious, regardless of the dissuasion of his ministers, in order to connive at his subordinates and harass the people, he removed Xiao Yong's status as the prince, cut off his clan status, and immediately went to prison, and his wife, concubines, and children were all imprisoned in the mansion, and they were not allowed to go out unless they were edicted.
In the middle of the thirty-first year of Chongde, Xiao Yong suffered from being imprisoned and committed suicide in prison. The remnants of the Great Prince's Party are falling apart, and they are no longer in the past.
In the spring of the thirty-second year of Chongde, Emperor Xiao was attacked by a black bear when he left Beijing for spring hunting, and Xiao Yuan, the king of Lian, disregarded his own safety and sacrificed himself to save him, and was seriously injured, almost dying under the black bear's clutches. Emperor Xiao was frightened, and the spring hunt was forced to be suspended, and Emperor Xiao and his party hurriedly returned to Beijing.
In the middle of the thirty-second year of Chongde, Emperor Xiao rewarded King Lian and meritorious ministers for his meritorious rescue of King Lian Xiao Yuan. Everyone got a glimpse of Emperor Xiao's attitude, and they all moved when they heard the wind, and King Lian gradually entered the center of power. However, for more than a month, King Lian's forces faintly competed with King Huai.
In the past few years, under the acquiescence of Emperor Xiao, the partisan disputes have become increasingly fierce, and the situation in the court has undergone earth-shaking changes.
As for what are the hidden secrets in these major events, this is a later article, and I will not show it for the time being. It is only said that at noon on this day, after Jian Xi and Mu Hong set up a tea stall, they saw a few idlers on the street walking here, because they were thirsty, they sat under the cloth shed of the tea stall to rest.
Everyone sat down, and one of the regulars waved his hand casually, beckoned Jian Xi and said, "Xiaolang, come a few bowls of herbal tea to cool off, this day is really going to burn people to death." ”
Jian Xi responded crisply, and dragged a few large bowls with a tray to the table, and then smiled: "Uncle Wang came here today, and the herbal tea was wrapped in a round." Here is the newly made sour plum soup this morning, and it has been in the deep well for two hours, and it tastes much more refreshing than the herbal tea, Uncle Wang. ”
That Uncle Wang is not a rich person, and it is still acceptable to drink a bowl of herbal tea for two pennies a bowl on weekdays, but now when he saw a few bowls of sour plum soup brought by Jian Xi, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he asked in a low voice: "Xiaolang, this sour plum soup is commonly used by rich and noble people, and we ordinary people can't afford to drink it." ”
Jian Xi has been in business for a few years, and he can be regarded as having a look or two, but now when he hears Uncle Wang say this, he doesn't know that he is shy, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Wang takes care of my family's business all day long, and Xiaolang has long wanted to thank one or two." Today, this sour plum soup doesn't cost money, so Xiaolang invited you. ”
That Uncle Wang is not such a greedy person, when he heard it, he was a little embarrassed and said: "Everyone is a poor family, if you invite them all day long, where can you have such an idea of a small business." ”
Jian Xi smiled: "It's just a few bowls of sour plum soup, it's not worth anything, how can I collapse this little stall." ”
That Uncle Wang saw that it was not easy to set up a stall all day long, and he didn't want to touch her little benefit, so he said with a straight face: "You first say how much money this bowl of sour plum soup is, if you don't say it, I won't drink it." ”
Seeing him insisting like this, Jian Xi had to smile and said: "Two big boards are fine, Uncle Wang is not allowed to say anything more, and he will often come to take care of my stall in the future." ”
That Uncle Wang also knew that Jian Xi intended to take care of himself, so he accepted her kindness and stopped making more excuses.
Jian Xi served a big bowl of sour plum soup to everyone, and nested in the shade of the tree to rest, but his two ears stood upright, as if he was listening to Uncle Wang's table unintentionally.
If you look into it carefully, this Uncle Wang is nothing special, he only has one mouth that can't hold the door, and when he catches something, he has to shout to others. If it's ordinary, it won't be a little interesting. But this Uncle Wang's neighbor is the most interested person in Jian Xi's heart.
Uncle Wang's neighbor was only a widow in charge, and everyone in the city called her Mrs. Wang. This Mrs. Wang is young and widowed, and she doesn't have any good craftsmanship in her own house, and she is the best at coaxing people with a clever mouth. Later, in order to make a living, he simply started to buy and sell girls for a living. It is also the ability of this Wang Pozi, who only relied on a clever mouth, but actually made a name for himself in the powerful field in Beijing. Many powerful families are buying and selling girls from her for this reputation. And the Xie family is one of these many powerful families.
Jian Xi also saw these two benefits, and intended to be friendly with Uncle Wang. As long as he comes to the tea stall, he will give him some sweetness from time to time. Just like this, the two gradually got acquainted.
Just when Jian Xi was listening to everyone's chat, Uncle Wang talked about an idle matter, and suddenly knocked on Jian Xi's stuffy stick.
As for what earth-shattering news Uncle Wang brought to the tea stall today, let's listen to the next breakdown.
