Half a month passed in a flash. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although he was a little worried that it would be inconvenient for Li Mo to be alone at the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain, his brother's wedding businessman was not going too late, and it was still time to go out on the twenty-fifth day. The distance from Jiuzhi Mountain to Chang'an is not close, and you have to hurry to arrive on the 27th when you go out on the 25th.

The merchant carefully dried the mushrooms picked from the mountain and put them away in the kitchen, and explained to Li Mo where the clothes were placed, and then reluctantly led the horse to the door.

When he first came, it was to guard the soul of the former emperor, Li Mo insisted on refusing to let people come with him to serve, even the guards who had been guarding the tomb for generations refused to let Li Zhi send him, that is, he sincerely planned to live alone with the businessmen and live a small life for the two.

This year, except for the rice and noodles sent by Li Zhi from time to time, all the rest of the things were returned, which made Li Zhi a little crying and laughing.

However, such a day is also simple, the merchant and Li Mo went to the main hall every day to worship the emperor, and when they came out, they traveled freely in the mountains, but they were also happy and quiet, taking advantage of this time, the merchant also learned to ride a horse, and even practiced the kung fu that Li Jing passed on to her, and her body looked much better than in the past.

"Go back to the house! I went to my brother's wedding and will be back as soon as possible. You have to be careful with the candles when you stay at home and get food, and don't burn the roof I built like last time! Shang Shang looked at Li Mo, although he was a little worried, but it was only ten days of work, it should be fine, right?

"What do you say? Am I so useless? Li Mo's face was a little red.

It's not to blame the Chamber of Commerce for saying so. Although Li Mo did not enter the royal family, he really hadn't done these things of lighting a fire and cooking since he was a child, and he came here to think that he would do everything himself, who knew that the first time he entered the kitchen, he almost burned the house, or the businessman was quick, and he hurriedly brought a bucket to the side and poured a bucket of water on it, so he didn't give all the small houses of the three entrances.

"What else do you say? I don't know who almost burned down the house we lived in! The merchant stretched out his hand and scratched Li Mo's nose, and the uneven scar on the tentacle made her heart tug again.

Although Li Mo's attack was quite measured at the beginning, and it had been a year of recovery, the knife that year had left an indelible scar on his face after all, and the long flesh-colored scar stubbornly lay on Li Mo's face, and with his expression stirring, a handsome face that was originally exactly the same as Li Zhi was twisted into Shura.

"Does it still hurt?" The merchant stroked the trail gently.

This injury really scared her out at first! That day, waiting in horror outside the hall, and when I saw him shaking and shaking out with a bloody face, the feeling of liver and gall was as if it was just yesterday.

"Silly girl! It's been so long, I haven't felt it for a long time! Li Mo stretched out his hand and rubbed Shang Shang's head, he is a big man, what does it matter if he is injured? Where is it so delicate?

"Hey, hey! That's right! Shang Shang sniffed, pressed down the distress in his chest, and smiled at Li Mo.

"That's it! Go early and come back early! When I went to Chang'an, I took a look at the treatment, I haven't seen him for so long and I don't know if he has lost weight? Li Mo stretched out his hand to take the reins of the horse in the merchant's hand, turned around and closed the chai door behind him.

"Silence! Come back to Chang'an with me! Go see the treatment. The merchant persuaded without giving up.

When she first came, Li Mo's wordless appearance made her worry for a long time, and now she is much stronger than then, but no matter how she persuades Li Mo, she refuses to leave, and she is stubborn to stay here for three years.

"There you go! I'm here waiting for you to come back. Li Mo smiled faintly and straightened the men's clothes on the merchant's body.

In order to go out to facilitate horseback riding, the merchant specially changed into men's clothes, and put a bag of sun-dried Ganoderma lucidum picked in the mountain in the bag, as a congratulatory gift for her brother's marriage, although she and Li Mo are actually not short of money, but she always feels that these things she picked by herself have a special meaning.

"Then I'm leaving! You are not allowed to think about it when you are alone, and when you are fine, you should go and talk to the Ubo who guards the tomb, and you are not allowed to stay alone in the house. ”

The merchant explained again uneasily, and saw that Li Mo agreed with a smile, then he turned over and got on the horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and the white horse under him neighed, and the four hooves rose up, and gradually disappeared in Li Mo's eyes.

It wasn't until the merchant went far away and couldn't see the shadow anymore that Li Mo lowered his head and smiled, turned around and went back to the house.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight all the way, and on the morning of the 27th, the merchants finally rushed to Chang'an City.

Looking at the tall city gate in front of her, Shang Shang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, she left for a year, this is the first time she has come back, and I don't know if the city has changed?

Dismounted near the city gate, the merchant stretched out his hand and rubbed two handfuls on his face, and then tied the hair tied on the top of his head, and beat the wind and dust on his face and body slightly, and then pulled up his collar and led the horse to follow the flow of people into the city and slowly entered Chang'an City.

Suzaku Street is as lively as ever, and the men, women, and children who have entered the city have walked together for a while before they disperse and head towards their respective destinations.

I didn't come back for a year, the merchant looked at everything in front of him with some greed, the change in the outer city was not much, those rows of Li Fang archways were still firmly erected on the side of the street, and from time to time there were one or two hawkers carrying burdens passing by her, selling some needles and threads, and from time to time a few naughty children jumped around the hawkers, holding a penny or two copper coins for a few maltose to eat.

The merchant looked back and forth, and the pedestrians on the main street had gradually decreased, so he turned over and walked slowly in the direction of the West Market.

The face of the kitchen road has not changed, a big red wine sign with the word "kitchen road" written on it, nailed with a good wooden frame, propped up on the top of the street on the second floor. The plaque on the face was replaced with a pair of words "kitchen road" written by the current emperor Li Zhi, but it must have been that the weather was getting colder, and the curtain in front of the door was replaced with a thick blue embroidered cotton curtain.

The merchant dismounted in front of the main gate, took off his coat, threw the reins of his horse to the somewhat eyed doorman who was waiting for him, stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain and walked in.

Looking around the familiar hall, the merchant was looking at the hall full of diners with satisfaction, and the sharp-eyed little er came up to greet him, wanting to lead the merchant upstairs.

"Three small ...... Son! ”

Coldly heard a call, and from behind the counter in the hall, a person rushed over neatly, his eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at the merchant with enthusiasm.

"Three sons! You're back, the second son was still talking just now! You've been here for more than a year, why don't you want to come back? ”

"Little Liuzi?" Shang Shang looked at the man in front of him in a brocade robe in surprise, dressed more elegantly than her.

"Isn't it small? You haven't been back for more than a year, and I'm afraid you've forgotten about the little one! Xiao Liuzi scratched his head and smiled a little uncomfortably.

He can also be regarded as the old man of this kitchen, when the kitchen was first opened, he followed Su Minzhi, and he was also clever. Since the opening of the branch of Chudao a year ago, Su Minzhi has gradually become a little unable to manage it, and seeing that he also has some talent for business, he handed over the head office to him to manage, and nothing has gone wrong this year.

"How so? But--Little Liuzi, should I call you the shopkeeper now? Shang Shang looked at the young man in front of him with some urgency.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, but this little sixth son seems much more stable than before, and he can take care of such a big store when he hands it over, but he has really experienced it.

"Don't laugh at the little sixth son, don't you know how many pounds and taels the little sixth son has?" Xiao Liuzi rubbed his hands happily, looked at the hall, and turned around before the other party led the merchant to go inside, and Xiao Er gave an order.

"Go! After talking to Steward Song in the back kitchen, he said that the third son was back, and asked her to cook a few dishes that the son loved to eat and send them to the second son's courtyard. ”

Shang Shang looked at Xiao Er who was following him and nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that the shopkeeper was so excited, and he didn't ask curiously if he shouldn't ask, it seems that Xiao Liuzi, the shopkeeper, is doing quite well, and the rules are very good.

After Xiao Liuzi finished instructing Xiao Er, he led the merchant to walk inside with a smile on his face, passed through a hall, and turned straight into another courtyard.

Since the emperor went for more than a year, I don't know why, the bearded guest seemed to have a cold heart, and hastily ended the inn next door, and handed over all the huge courtyards to Su Minzhi, only saying that he would dispose of it, but he didn't know where to go.

It happened that Su Minzhi wanted to expand the kitchen road, so he honestly and unceremoniously opened up all the courtyards of the inn, leaving only two entrances as inner courtyard residences, and the rest were changed into private rooms even with the original courtyard of the kitchen road. In this way, the scope of the kitchen road has increased by more than one circle out of thin air, and the business has been booming by three points.

Merchants followed Xiao Liuzi all the way, and almost eighty percent of the private rooms in the kitchen road were sitting, and it can be seen from this alone that the business of the kitchen road is really thriving.

Xiao Liuzi brought the merchant into the courtyard gate, and explained to the mother-in-law guarding the door in detail, and then retreated, and since he went to take care of the business in the front yard, the merchant followed the mother-in-law to the inner courtyard.

The whole inner courtyard has already been decorated with joy, red lanterns and curtains decorate the whole small courtyard with joy, and even the branches of the fallen trees in the courtyard are full of large flowers made of red wedding silk. Along the way, the merchant only felt that the whole sight was full of hot red, and in this cold season, it made people feel warm in their hearts. The girls and old mothers who shuttled back and forth were also dressed in red and green, smiling so much that they couldn't see their teeth, as if there was something happy in their own family.

Before he could approach Su Minzhi's bedroom, the merchant heard a complaining voice:

"Lan Xin, this girl is really! Although she doesn't need her help to pick up or ask for names or anything in front of me, why isn't she in a hurry when I get married? Seeing that tomorrow is the right day, why hasn't it come yet? ”

"Brother ------!" The merchant stood by the wide open door, looking at the unhappy second brother with an unhappy face a little embarrassed.

It's true that it's not her own, although my brother said that she doesn't have to worry about it, but she, who is a sister, really waited until the day before to come, and it's really a little unreasonable.

"Lan Xin?!" Su Minzhi, who was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, turned around, and then saw the dusty businessman, and couldn't help laughing happily.

The three brothers and sisters have long since lost their parents in the hall, and if the brothers and sisters can't be together on a big day like their marriage, they will be a little regretful. However, seeing that the merchant finally arrived as scheduled, Su Minzhi put aside his previous worries and became happy.

"Lan Xin! Come on in, what are you doing standing in the doorway? Su Ruizhi, who was in a wheelchair, saw the merchant, happily turned the wheelchair he sat in twice, and went to the door to pull the merchant in.

"Big brother!" The merchant called Su Ruizhi obediently, followed the strength of his hand into the room, and sat down at the round table.

"If you don't come again, your second brother will go to Jiuzhi Mountain to arrest people! You too, why didn't you go out earlier? Do you have to wait until today? Su Rui looked the merchant up and down, complaining in his mouth.

I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Shangshang's face is better than when she was in Chang'an, it seems that that kind of restrained life is really not suitable for her! Su Ruizhi didn't say anything in his mouth, but he let go of most of his heart in his heart. Originally, he was worried that the merchant would suffer if he followed Li Mo's spirit, but now it seems that his worry is superfluous.

Su Minzhi smiled on the side and said, "Why am I going to catch it?" Green Sleeves won't let you go! She said a long time ago, if you don't come, she will wear her wedding dress and go to Jiuzhi Mountain to arrest you back! ”

The merchant was about to open his mouth to explain, and suddenly there was a cheerful voice from Song Ma outside the door, and when the three of them turned their heads to look, they saw Song Ma wearing a white cloth apron and walking into the door with two little girls carrying two food boxes.

"Three girls!"

Mother Song, whose hair was already a little gray, couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she saw Shang Shang, and took Shang Shang's hand and called out to the third girl, and then she couldn't say any more, just wiped her eyes with her hand.

The businessman was also a little excited to see Song Ma, when she followed her to Chang'an, Song Ma made a lot of determination, after so many years of getting along, Song Ma, whose son was not filial, had already regarded the three of them as her own children, and she had not seen anyone for more than a year, and Song Ma was not less worried!

"Song Ma!" Seeing Song Ma so sad, the businessman was also a little choked, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears on Song Ma's face, which made Song Ma embarrassed.

"Mama Song! Isn't Lan Xin back? Don't be sad either. Su Ruizhi sat in a wheelchair and whispered.

"Look at me as an old thing, it's a pleasure for the third girl to come back, I'm ruining my fun here!" Mother Song wiped away the tears on her face, smiled and beckoned the girls to take out the food from the food box in their hands and put them on the table one by one.

"Three girls, try it, these are all your usual favorite foods, Mother Song has made some, you hurry over, I'm afraid you're hungry, sit down and eat some."

"Big brother! Second brother! Song Mom! Sit down, all of you! Eat with me! I can't eat that much alone! Shang Shang looked at a table of dishes, and couldn't help but feel a little big, such a big table, if she really let her eat one, where would she be able to eat?
