Chapter 169: False Reporting

She looked up and saw that his face was flat, and he didn't seem to be unhappy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I don't know if he saw Jiu'er's affairs, or if he just hid his mind deeply?

Mu Yanqing smiled and shouted heroically, "Uncle, bring us two big bowls of noodles!" ”

When Lu Li heard her shouting, he couldn't help but pinch her cheek, "You might be able to eat?" ”

"Absolutely! Even if you can't eat it, isn't there still you? Don't say you'll be able to eat enough in one bowl! She taught her a serious lesson: "Even if you are full, then you have to eat the rest of me, a porridge and a meal, when thinking about it is not easy to come by, let alone a bowl of noodles, it is very expensive!" ”

Looking at Mu Yanqing's expression and listening to her mischievous tone, Lu Li's mouth was a little dry, and a warm air flow rose from the bottom of his heart, which made him itch in his heart, and even had a strange feeling of being very restless, as if he wanted to break out of his body.

This feeling, he knew, it should be something called possessiveness.

It's really possessing her, not just holding her in your arms.

"The girl is right, but this big bowl of the little girl's family really can't eat, otherwise it's one big and one small, right? If the girl and the son feel that they are not full after eating, I will give you the old man! ”

The old man is a simple person, Mu Yanqing nodded when he heard this, didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at Lu Li.

"Why are you so slow?"

Lu Li smiled when he heard this, "Don't you know how fast you can run by yourself?" Besides, didn't I have to arrange Xiang'er and them first? Otherwise, even if you find you, you will definitely have to worry about them. ”

What he didn't say was that he said that he had arranged for Xiang'er to go to the Five Princes' Mansion after he found her, and the reason why he was so slow to find her was because she turned around halfway through, causing him to find her for several streets!

Mu Yanqing thought about it carefully and misunderstood, she thought that it was because she had temporarily changed her direction, and there was no Xiang'er to help him find him for so long, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was a miracle that he could find her so quickly.

The little resentment she had left in her heart was gone, "Forget it, I'll settle accounts with you when I get home!" ”

Lu Li lowered his eyes and looked at her, her petite figure, black and white apricot eyes, and her small mouth slightly pursed due to dissatisfaction, all of them were tempting him, if it weren't for him on the street, he wouldn't have necessarily done anything!

"The noodles are coming!"

The old man made the most ordinary Yangchun noodles, without the tricks in the restaurant, but the taste was excellent.

Mu Yanqing praised while eating: "It's much better than what Xiang'er made, Ah Li, come back next time!" ”

"Okay." Lu Li's faint word was filled with endless spoiling.

The old man stiffened, turned his back and sighed softly.

Although it was a light sigh, Mu Yanqing and Lu Li listened to it sincerely, the two exchanged a look, and Lu Li asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

The old man didn't expect that his light sigh would be heard by them, and he didn't want to say it, but it can be seen that although the two of them are not full of pearls, they are also dressed in brocade clothes, and he absolutely does not believe that they are ordinary people.

The old man thought about it and thought about it anyway, so let's talk about it!

"Don't hide it from the two, the old man and I are also the last time to go out of the stall, now the business is difficult to do, the government has been strictly investigated recently, and I don't know why, even our stalls have been hindered, Jingwei Yamen said that this is the street, not a vegetable market, and there is no store to sell it!"

Mu Yanqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li: "Ah Li, is there such a thing?" ”

Even in the capital, there are poor people, not everyone can afford to provide shops, and aren't there all small vendors in the downtown area?

Lu Li was also puzzled: "Have those vendors in the downtown also been banned?" ”

The old man shook his head: "How can it be banned there?" I heard that the downtown is a place where many rich children like to go, although it is also a small vendor, but the boy and girl go to see it, the cheapest bowl of noodles is more than a dozen copper plates, we only have four copper plates, just so that we poor people can have a good food and clothing, and now we don't even let the stalls go! ”

Mu Yanqing was slightly stunned, such a bowl of noodles is only four copper plates? It's just enough to pay for it, right?

Lu Li didn't expect that after six years, the price of the old man's noodle stall still did not rise.

Six years ago, it was four copper plates, and there was still money at that time, but now the price is higher than before, and it is winter again, so it stands to reason that the price should rise, but I didn't expect it to be four copper plates.

"Uncle, why haven't you raised the price for so many years?"

"Ah Li, have you been here before?"

Lu Li bowed his head and quietly waited for the old man's answer.

The old man probably didn't expect that the person in front of him had already come, seeing that he didn't look like the big treacherous person, maybe they could help him find where his baby was?

"Alas, in the early years, there was a mother-in-law and a son in the family, and six years ago the son was conscripted away by the conscription, and he never returned. The baby who went with me came back and said that my baby died in the war and let us go to get the pension, and when I went to the military yamen to ask, they all said that the person was still there, but no one came back, and I couldn't see it when I went to the barracks! ”

"My mother-in-law went to ask, maybe there were too many times, those people were so angry that they beat up their mother-in-law and threw it out, and the poor family was beaten and didn't have the money to buy medicine, and the result was..."

Speaking of this old man, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, "I want to go over and sue, but if it is not good, how can there be any reason?" I think I'm alone at home anyway, and it doesn't matter if I earn money or not, but this noodle cooking skill is still taught by my mother-in-law... It's kind of a thought. ”

Mu Yanqing lowered his eyes after listening, conscription six years ago?

That's a good thing for the Tang family, but this pension is very strange.

Lu Li chuckled, and said a little inscrutablely, "Six years ago, there were not many soldiers sacrificed after the war, if what the old man said is true... That left minister is busy! ”

Mu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, isn't it, if what the old man said is true, then there must be someone who is greedy for ink and underreports the number of sacrifices upwards, although the pension sent down from above is small, but the general has been glorified.

But things are not so simple, it seems that it is only for glory, and there is nothing to be greedy for, but in fact, those who have sacrificed are still paid every year, and those are all empty salaries, and this amount will not be less!

"Thank you, uncle!" Mu Yanqing swallowed the last bite of noodles and put down his chopsticks.

Lu Li took out a silver ingot and gave it to him, and the old man was so frightened that he didn't dare to take it, this is ten taels of silver!

"Uncle, isn't the Jingwei Yamen not allowed to set up stalls now? What does the old man rely on to eat? ”

The old man's body stiffened, but he still refused to take it.

Mu Yanqing's eyes rolled and asked with a smile: "Uncle, the noodles you cooked are so delicious, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't make them in the future, or if they are lost?" If the old man is willing, can you go back with our husband and wife and help us in our house, if the old man likes to be free, then pass on the skills to the girl next to me..."

"Qing'er, that's the old uncle's family handicraft, how can you teach others casually?"

Mu Yanqing pouted, "My master never cares about this, what do I ask what she teaches..."

The old man looked at the two, he knew that they must be kind people, he never expected that he would meet such a kind person in his lifetime, these two people really wanted to help him!

He knelt down and said, "I don't ask for anything, but if the two nobles can help the old man find my son, the old man and I will repay the two of you as a cow and a horse!" ”

Lu Li stretched out his hand to help him up: "My husband and wife have no power or power, and they can't help the old man, but... We can help the old man find out the truth of the year, if it is true, someone will naturally come forward for you. ”

The old man didn't want to, in a place like the capital, Rao is a foolish person like him knows that a piece of bird can be smashed on the head of a nobleman, these two people say that they have no power and no power, but who said that they can't help him if they don't have power?

Seeing that the old man was about to kneel down again, Lu Li pulled his arm and said, "Uncle, don't be busy kneeling, we also have our own considerations, and it is not certain whether we can help or not, uncle, when do you plan to go to my house?" There's still a lot I want to know, after all, it's been six years..."

The old man nodded when he heard this: "If the son is convenient, can I let the old man go over tomorrow?" ”

He wanted to take the stall back, after all, it was the only thought left by his wife.

"Okay, then the old man will tell me the address, and I will send someone to pick up the old man tomorrow!"
