Chapter 109: Heading South
With the status of "Green Willow Villa" in the rivers and lakes and Kong Xiangren's prestige in the rivers and lakes, Kong Tianci set up a mourning hall for his father, and there will definitely be many friends in the rivers and lakes to come to worship! In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Meng You and others left the "Green Willow Villa" early in the morning, and Sima Kong was of course no exception!
When Kong Tianci received the news from his subordinates and rushed to the door of "Green Willow Villa", Meng You and his party had long since disappeared, but Kong Tianci was still looking at the empty avenue in front of "Green Willow Villa", frowning, not knowing what he was thinking, and no one dared to ask! A girl ran out of the backyard, stood behind Kong Tianci and lowered her head timidly and whispered: "Master of the village, the slave maid found a silver ticket on the table in Uncle Sima's room!" After speaking, he held the silver ticket in both hands and handed it to Kong Tianci, Kong Tianci looked down at the silver ticket, it was the 100,000 taels of silver ticket he gave to Sima Kong last night, he reached out and grabbed it in his hand and clenched it hard, and said slowly: "Sima Kong...... I still underestimate you! After speaking, Kong Tianci flicked his sleeves and turned around and strode into the village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Out of the boundary of "Green Willow Villa", two forks appeared in front of Lao Jiang, one to the south to Suyang Erzhou, and the other to the north to SX Lao Jiang stopped the carriage, frowned and made it difficult to know which road to take, when driving the carriage this morning, Meng You only threw a word to Lao Jiang, go as you wish! At that time, there was only one way down the mountain from the "Green Willow Villa", so naturally there was no need to be entangled, and now there are two forks in the road in front of you, and it is difficult not to hesitate!
Lao Jiang glanced back, Sima Kong was also riding on a horse and stopped not far behind the carriage, but he was not entangled at all and quietly looked at the carriage in front of him. Lao Jiang immediately showed displeasure on his face, and he asked in a low voice: "Childe, there are two roads ahead, one south and one north, where are we going?" ”
In the car, Meng You was chatting and laughing with Lu Xing and others, and when he heard Lao Jiang's question, he was silent for a moment: "Go south!" After speaking, he hurriedly said: "There is a shortage of water in the north this season, and there is a lot of wind and sand, and it is a sinful thing to go north!" ”
Lao Jiang let out a "hey", screamed loudly, and drove the carriage south, but this time the carriage was not as slow as it had been a few days ago.
After Meng You finished speaking to Lao Jiang, he was just thinking about the topic with Lu Xing and the others who were interrupted by Lao Jiang, but he didn't want Zhu'er to laugh out loud.
"Sister Zhu'er, what interesting things have come to mind, say it and let us all hear about it!" Yao Xian'er shook Zhu'er's shoulder and said coquettishly.
Zhu'er Xing rolled her eyes, glanced at Meng You and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's okay to talk about it, I'm afraid it will make the son unhappy!" ”
Zhu'er's words were obviously for Meng You, and Lu Xing smiled on the side: "Since it's not a big deal, how can Brother Meng be angry?" ”
Listening to Zhu'er and Lu Xing's drinking and harmonizing posture, if Zhu'er didn't say it, it would be his own problem, so Meng You smiled and said: "Zhu'er can say what he thinks, I also want to hear what is interesting!" ”
Zhu'er smiled slightly, pursed her lips and said: "In the past, Lao Jiang asked where Gongzi should go, and Gongzi always only said one direction or place name, and today it is the first time I heard Gongzi finish talking about the direction, and I have to explain to Lao Jiang the reason why I don't go north." ”
"Really?" Meng You also asked in some surprise after hearing this.
"yes!" Pearls nodded affirmatively.
Meng You smiled slightly: "Maybe you didn't pay attention to it before!" ”
Zhu'er has always been obedient to Meng Youyan, and it is impossible for Zhu'er to hear every word he says wrong, how can he not remember it! As for why Meng You said this, everyone knew it, so they didn't say it anymore, Zhu'er just quietly glanced at Yao Xian'er, and smiled tacitly!
Looking at everyone with a smile on their faces, Meng You said to Lu Xing, "Oh...... By the way, Brother Lu, where did we just go? ”
Gongzijia said on the side: "We are talking about whether Kong Tianci can sit firmly on the throne of the owner of the 'Green Willow Villa', and whether he can afford the family business of the Kong family!" ”
Meng You said: "What do you two think? ”
Lu Xing said: "I think I can, although Kong Tianci is young, he gives me the feeling that he has a gentle and introverted temperament, does things in an orderly manner, and has the style of a general!" ”
Gongzijia nodded and said: "Yes, just by the few words he said yesterday, he cleaned up the obedience of those dozens of old giants who worked hard for the Kong family, you can see that he is by no means an idle person!"
After Lu Xing and Gongzijia finished speaking, they looked at Meng You without saying a word, and asked in unison, "Then what do you think?" ”
Meng You nodded at the two of them and said, "I have the same opinion as you, Kong Tianci is by no means simple, but I am afraid that his achievements will not be under Kong Xiangren in the future!" ”
Lu Xing looked at Meng You in surprise and asked suspiciously: "Kong Tianci is only in his early twenties, why does Brother Meng assert that his achievements are not under the old owner of Kong, the current 'Green Willow Villa' is the inheritance of the ancestral industry of the ancestors It took decades to lay down the country!" ”
Meng You stretched out his hand and tapped his head and chest and said: "With these two points, although Kong Tianci's martial arts are average and his qualifications are mediocre, even if he cultivates for ten years in the future, he will not be able to become a first-class master, but with his intelligence and mind, it is enough!" ”
Gongzijia asked: "It is undeniable that Kong Tianci has some courage, it is good to be able to hold the Kong family, and it is not easy to surpass it!" ”
Meng You said with a smile: "Kong Tianci borrowed Jiang Mubai's momentum, collected the heart of the old giant, and wanted to borrow the momentum of you and me, everyone has seen this, which shows that he is delicate and thoughtful, and he can actually endure for several months after Wen Tao harms himself, and can make Feng Siniang die for him with all his heart, this city is not something that ordinary people can have!" ”
Speaking of "Feng Siniang", Zhu'er couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that Feng Siniang really thought that she killed Kong Tianci, but I didn't expect that she was just a chess piece of Kong Tianci, I really don't value it for her!" ”
Meng You said with a smile: "Maybe we see Kong Tianci now is his true appearance, it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that he is a gentle and jade-like turbidity son, maybe he was the one who had the intention to dress up at the beginning, if this is the case, then the depth of his city is really scary!" ”
Lu Xing nodded and said, "After all, hearing is false, seeing is believing!" This rumor can't be believed, there are too few that live up to the name, and there are many that don't live up to the name! ”
After Lu Xing's words were finished, everyone nodded their heads, and everyone agreed with his words, and suddenly Meng You asked casually with interest: "What about Jiang Mubai, the 'first hero in the rivers and lakes'?" ”
When Lu Xing heard this, he waved his hand at Meng You and said, "Jiang Daxia's personality is obvious to all, he is a veritable hero on the rivers and lakes!" Saying that, Lu Xing sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, I haven't had time to have a drink with Jiang Daxia in a hurry this time, it's a big pity!" ”
Meng You said with a smile: "I still remember that I told Brother Lu before that I would definitely have the opportunity to meet Jiang Mubai in the future, although I couldn't drink with him this time, but I could see the real person, since I could meet him, I would definitely be able to drink, and ......" Meng You's face tightened slightly: "And I think it won't be long before we meet again!" ”
Lao Jiang drove the carriage slowly, and he had just walked fifty or sixty miles until noon, anyway, everyone was tired and not in a hurry to hurry after being busy these days, and Sima Kong was even happier to follow the carriage, so that he would never be tired of his horses.
It happened that everyone passed by a small town, Lao Jiang drove the carriage into the town and stopped in front of a tavern, everyone got up early in the morning and had not eaten breakfast, and they were already hungry at this time, Zhu'er and Yao Xian'er couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and run into the tavern.
The tavern is not big, there are only five or six tables in total, and the business is very light, only one table of customers, but it is very clean, and perhaps this is the only thing worthy of praise.
As soon as Meng You and the others sat down, the shopkeeper ran over, and Sima Kong also walked in from outside the door. Meng You and the others were also accustomed to Sima Kong's following, and even Gongzi Jia, who had always been very dissatisfied with him, didn't bother to complain again. The shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "What does the guest officer want?" ”
"A braised carp ......"
"Another pine nut bamboo shoot......"
"And stir-fried river prawns......"
Zhu'er and Yao Xian'er talked about six or seven dishes in a row, and the first customer at the store couldn't help but look back at the two of them.
Zhu'er felt their gaze and cautiously asked the shopkeeper, "Why do we order too much?" ”
The shopkeeper scratched his head, laughed honestly, and said embarrassedly: "The girl doesn't order much, but the girl doesn't have these dishes in the shop!" ”
"Ah......" Zhu'er and Yao Xian'er exclaimed incredulously, "These dishes are not delicacies from the mountains and seas, they are all ordinary dishes, don't you have them?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled honestly and said, "These dishes ordered by the girl can be regarded as delicacies of the mountains and seas in our small place!" ”
Meng You didn't want to be embarrassed, and the shopkeeper said directly: "It's okay, you can serve whatever you have in the store!" ”
Lu Xing hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Is there any wine?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded heavily: "Yes, we brew it home, it's definitely a good wine!" ”
Lu Xing slapped the table and smiled: "Good wine is good, go quickly!" ”
"Hey......" The shopkeeper opened his mouth and laughed, but he turned around and ran into the back kitchen satisfied.
It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to deliver a few hot dishes that had just come out of the pot: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with chili, boiled cabbage, and the best dish was just sweet and sour pork ribs! Then he sent two more jars of wine, and said with a smile: "Slow use of the guest officer!" ”
Although the food here is simple, the wine is clear, but eating a few home-cooked dishes also has a different flavor, just as Meng You and everyone have eaten lunch, the shopkeeper cleaned up the table, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and two men in tight clothes suddenly rushed in from outside the door.
