Chapter 41: Dreams in the Depths of Spring
"First make a pot of good daughter red, cut three taels of beef in sauce, serve with a plate of crispy peanuts, and then tell a story to relieve fatigue."
"Okay!"
"A pot of daughter red, three taels of beef, a plate of crispy peanuts~"
The child had a white towel on his shoulder, a smile on his face, and served the food.
Syllable.
As soon as the allegro sounded, the lobby, which was still a little noisy, fell silent.
An old man with a white beard stroked his goatee, and motioned to his granddaughter next to him to pull up the erhu, take a sip of tea first, and said it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, last time we said that this General Mu Guimu was the dragon and phoenix among the people, the heroine among the women, was seriously injured by someone and was able to return it safely, isn't it blessed by the gods, or is it a goddess who descends to earth? His heroic deeds are that the man is also invincible, and the man envies his daughter and admires him, and what I want to talk about today is the rhyme between the princess Chunxi of the dynasty and the general Mu Gui of the expedition to the west. β
Speaking of this, there was an uproar, and people who didn't know why slapped the case angrily and said "Little old man, don't be honest" and "smash your signboard" and other words, and there was another shocking sound, and the old man continued.
"To say that this princess Chunxi is the daughter of the first emperor, she has been favored since she was a child, she is like a flower and jade, the heavenly immortals descend to earth, and the suitor enters the carp of the river, but it is a pity that King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess is ruthless. Chunxi likes to travel in private clothes, which coincides with the general's victorious return to the court, and his armor is draped, heroic and extraordinary, like a god descending to earth, and a lifetime mistake at a glance. It is a pity that the general has been stationed abroad all the year round, and the princess has been waiting for several years, but she is happy to meet the general's return, and when she hears that the general is in trouble, she is a vegetarian all day long, which moves the heavens and the earth. Speaking of this general's return to Beijing, he was ...... by a marriage letter"
Smack.
"Boss, are you alright? Did you hurt your hands? β
Xiao'er held a wooden tray in his hand and squatted down to stop the movement of the boss who was distracted. His eyes couldn't help but glance at it, and he shook his head secretly.
The boss clearly distinguishes the body of a daughter, but he likes men's clothes; Bunsen's flower and moon appearance, but unfortunately the scars on his face are eye-catching.
Whenever I heard the storyteller knock on the case, I would stare at the door, as if I was waiting for someone to come. Thinking of the somewhat strange name of the shop again, I muttered in my heart, but I quickly collected the broken plate at hand.
"Boss, I'm leaving."
Qing He waved his hand.
Yes, the owner of this Jungui restaurant is Qinghe.
Speaking of coming out of Chen's hometown that day, Qinghe thought about it carefully, and took Fu Dongqing according to what Chen Lao said. This kind of old fritter mixed in officialdom never refuses to trust outsiders. Obviously, he asked for Qinghe, but Qinghe never asked for a penny like him. When he became suspicious, in order to pay off the debts he owed, he would keep compensating Qinghe.
gave her enough entanglement, invited a dart team to protect her, moved the relationship for her, and cleared the snakes, so that people did not dare to be bullied like when Kaiyang City was opened.
She sat limply in the chair behind the counter, and the storyteller's voice seemed to fade away.
Why hire a storyteller?
Because the storyteller is well-informed, she can sit in the store and learn about the affairs of Beijing.
But sometimes it's not good to know too many things, and the mood is up and down, sad and happy, and I can't help myself.
She thought about it so much that she naturally didn't hear the last wonderful comment of the storyteller over there, and when she came back to her senses, it turned out to be full of applause and praise from everyone.
Late at night.
Qinghe took off his coat, blew out the candlestick, and was about to put the folded clothes on the head of the bed, when his hand touched the side, and the person froze.
Isn't that right?
When I leave in the morning, I fold it clearly and put it at the head of the bed.
She made that dress with her own hands, but unfortunately no one wore it yet. She didn't know what kind of mentality she had, so she held her to her chest every night, as if someone was sleeping with her in her arms.
Qing He wanted to get up and light the lamp, and after thinking about it, his clothes would not run away with long legs, so he still lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed, turning over and over for a long time before he gradually fell asleep.
Half-asleep, dream-like, as if a source of warmth approached her and gently hugged her. She thought that in a dream, she stretched out her hand to respond in a daze, muttering to herself, and she couldn't really hear it.
ββ¦β¦ Want to ......"
"Miss me?"
Qing He approached the heat source, rubbed his head hard, and answered vaguely in his mouth, as if he agreed with it.
In the deep night, the faint laughter of the visitor in the silence of the room slowly turned into a murmur between the lips and teeth.
"I miss you too...... Would love to ......"
ββ¦β¦ When I returned to Beijing, I didn't expect to be forced to marry, Qingqing, I only have you in my heart, and when I promise to meet again, I will promise you for life, I hope you don't dislike me, I cut off the way out, only you. β
If the enemy is not destroyed, how can it be a family.
Mu Gui remembered his arrogant words in front of people ten days ago, and remembered the poisonous oath after people, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I only have you, Qingqing, are you willing to wait for me?"
She didn't expect anyone to respond to her, but when her lips were caught, she was stiff and confused.
This, this, this......
Mu Gui's eyes widened, and she didn't dare to move, she was afraid that this was a dream, and as soon as she made a sound, it was hazy.
It wasn't until there was a feeling of oppression from her body that she suddenly reached out and hugged the person in front of her tightly.
"Qingqing, do you agree? Agreed......"
Unfortunately, no one answered, and her words were swallowed into her stomach and turned into a beautiful β‘β‘.
The embroidery was turned over by the red waves, and the tent was warm and fragrant and reluctant to wake up.
The spring dream is about love, and the dream is vaguely returningββ
Qing He lifted the quilt and was about to get up, when he suddenly felt that his body was sore, and his eyes were full of shock.
As far as the eye can see, there are red marks.
Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he was ashamed.
Turns out last night wasn't a dream? What about Erbai?
She forced herself to get up, and quickly adapted after the initial discomfort, still a little tingling, but everyone was okay anymore.
When he first went out, he ran into the shopkeeper, grabbed the other party, and asked in a low voice.
"Have you seen a girl, well, handsome-looking, going out of here?"
"Boss, I didn't see it, I just opened the door, and Chef Zhang is also at work, do you have any other instructions?"
"There you go."
She just straightened her hair a little, and she didn't care about the women's clothes appearing, so she stopped and asked when she saw someone.
One, two, three......
The people who were asked were surprised, and they all whispered behind their backs, curiosity is human nature, and they opened one by one.
As if he couldn't hear, Qinghe leaned on the door and looked out deeply.
"You know what? Today, General Mu is going to send troops to the west, saying that he is willing to return to Beijing only after he wants to defeat China. β
"The Red Clan, in the past ten years, the generals have been guarding and have not been able to completely retreat, so in this way, won't the general be gone and never return?"
"It seems reasonable, why don't we go out into the street and have a look?"
"Great idea!"
Several people discussed, and even dropped the wine money and ran out.
As soon as Qinghe's front foot came out, it was suspended in mid-air.
She was silent for a long time, but slowly, slowly, she retracted her left foot.
Erbai, Chen Lao's little apprentice asked someone to bring me a message, saying that Yangyang was doing well there. I'm relieved of him. Thou shalt give my heart to me, and I will give my body to me.
If you have promised, how dare I take it?
Waiting for you, how many years will wait.
"Boss, it's raining, it's the first rain in early summer."
She was half drenched in the rain, unconscious, just thinking that the horseshoe should be crossing South Street...... I guess I'm about to get out of the city......
I can't help but feel cold when a gust of wind blows.
The guy in the shop handed her an umbrella.
"Boss, no matter who you are waiting for, you must take good care of your body."
The guy was picked up by Qinghe, and she was half starved to death on the road, she remembered the days when she was displaced on the road five years ago and couldn't eat, so she took the other party to the capital and became a guy in the store. is not only clever but also caring, but when she is sad, she can coax Qinghe and make her laugh, and because she is five years older than her, Qinghe regards this little boy surnamed Li as a younger brother.
Qinghe walked back slowly, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxin, you're right, no matter what, you still have to take care of your body." β
At this time, the general's group of men and horses were leaving the south city gate, and the moment they went out, Mu Gui, who was riding a big horse, suddenly turned back.
Qingqing, wait for me......
At the beginning of May, the first good news came from the border pass, which was sent by 800 miles in an expedited manner, and the whole group rejoiced. The emperor specially issued an order to collect grain and grass, and all cities and prefectures sent grain and grass.
Jiangzhou Mansion is especially great, and it is appreciated by the issuance of the imperial decree.
At the end of the same month, the people of Jiangzhou Prefecture rioted, claiming that its prefect Liu Changzhong had filled his pockets, paid extremely heavy taxes, and displaced the people. Profiteers took the opportunity to raise prices to make huge profits, and the fields were barren and many people died of starvation.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
In June, it was found out, Liu Chang was escorted back to Beijing, and he was beheaded at noon to show the public.
Jungui Restaurant.
"Boss, you'd better eat less of these sour foods, it's not good to have more."
Li Xin held a big pu fan in his hand and fanned Qinghe.
In two months, Qinghe's face changed from a small face of melon seeds to a round face of goose eggs, and he was much plump.
Li Xin frowned worriedly as the sour plums on the plate ran out, and scratched the back of his neck.
"Why don't you ask Chef Zhang to make you some osmanthus cake and cushion your stomach, you have eaten so many sour plums before you have lunch......
"Xiaoxin, are you too long-winded as a man, like an old mother, you feed me five or six meals a day, how can I be hungry, not to mention that I am only two months pregnant, and then I will look like I will be fat and a pig."
Qinghe stretched out his hand and patted Li Xin's face, and the other party bowed his head very obediently and asked Qinghe to pat.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, even if it's a sow, it must be the best in the pig, the most beautiful one! Ah, what nonsense am I talking about, Sister Qing will never become a pig no matter how she is, if you become a pig, then so many sons waiting outside will have to die of sadness, hehe. β
"You're poor-mouthed." Qinghe spit out the last nucleus, and suddenly shot up, so frightened that Li Xin hurriedly threw a fan to support her.
"Sister Qing, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh no, why hasn't the letter arrived yet? Is something wrong? β
"Ouch, my sister, don't get excited, don't get excited, I'll just get it for you."
"Good ~~"
Qing He stood on tiptoe and touched Li Xin's head, pushing him out, "Hurry up, hurry up." β
