Chapter Forty-Nine: Homesickness
"How's it going, did you find it?"
Li Chu saw Wu Weizhong looking behind him, and for some reason, he always felt that the gaze behind him was really powerful, and it almost penetrated his spleen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I looked back, it was really Yuan Beggar, and I saw him walking quickly to Wu Weizhong's side, and said with a full stomach: "I've checked everything, and the rice in these rice shops is not poisonous!" ”
"Not a single shop leaked?" Wu Weizhong asked in surprise.
"Not a single shop was missing." The person who answered the call was Zhao Tianshu, who was walking slowly, he glanced at Li Chu beside Wu Weizhong, and said, "This is General Song?" ”
Li Chu glanced at Yuan Qi, who turned away speechlessly, before replying: "Li Chu is just a cloth cloth, and General Song is probably a matter of his previous life." ”
Zhao Tianshu smiled and nodded, and said to Wu Weizhong: "If General Wu has nothing important, then I will enter the palace and return to the emperor." ”
"Lord Zhao is at his own convenience." Wu Weizhong saw him saluting himself, and hurriedly returned the salute.
"Then I'll take my leave." Li Chu also bowed as he spoke, but Wu Weizhong held his arm and said, "Don't go, you tell me first, what you think about this matter." ”
Li Chu pretended to be surprised and said, "What do you think?" The matter has not yet come out, does General Wu already have an answer in his heart? ”
Wu Weizhong glanced around, leaned over slightly and leaned into his ear and said, "Let me tell you, I don't think this is quite right, this rice was originally not used for disaster relief, but was taken from a granary." ”
"A word granary, isn't that a special granary in the palace?" Li Chu stared at him, then smiled, and asked, "Since you have doubts, why don't you explain it to the emperor at the Water Pavilion." ”
"Explain what, it was the emperor's intention to transfer grain from a granary."
Lichu Lingtai was shocked, and when he reacted, he only felt that his chest was numb, he had known Li Jingyao for so many years, but he didn't see that Li Jingyao had such a good city.
Wu Weizhong saw that Li Chu was stunned for a long time, so he bumped him with his elbow and said in a low voice: "If you are tired, then go back first." This matter, if it is really thoroughly investigated, it is estimated that there must be a large number of people implicated, and they dare to poison the imperial warehouse, which is really too bold. ”
Li Chu did not refuse, and immediately said goodbye, and he still felt frightened along the way. When I returned to the Western Capital to see Li Jingyao, I saw that he was still the same as five years ago, a little playful, a little lazy and a little casual, but I didn't think that now his city was so deep that he could casually play with others between applause.
On the one hand, Li Chu was worried about whether he was too reckless today to arouse his suspicions, and on the other hand, he wondered why Li Jingyao's situation was so difficult.
"Childe, you're back." Before Li Chu lifted the curtain, he heard Jin Yuan's voice coming from the side, and after jumping out of the carriage, he asked, "Is there anything going on in the house?" ”
Jin Yuan shook his head, with a bit of tiredness on his face, "No, I'm just worried that Gongzi went to the west of the city alone." ”
"How's Lexi?"
"It's not good, I met Feng Jiu at the funeral today, Le Xi had a big fight with her, and now I'm sitting in the room in a daze." Jin Yuan said, the tiredness on his face deepened again.
Li Chu recalled that he was the first to get up and the latest to sleep in the house these days, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's have dinner and rest early, Uncle Chen will take care of other things." ”
"Uncle Chen? Didn't you see it, didn't you go out with your son? ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Uncle Chen hurriedly walking in with a large bag of things in his left and right hands, and said with a smile on his face: "It's coming, I'm not coming back?" ”
Before he could get closer, Jin Yuan had already smelled the smell of meat coming from the lotus leaf bag, and Fang Cai's tiredness was swept away, and his eyes widened and said, "Ten miles of incense!" ”
"Your nose is really smart, I heard that there is a new chef from the old Manjiang at the end of the street, it is said that he is from Southern Chu, and he makes good dishes, especially this thousand miles of incense is very authentic." Uncle Chen swallowed his saliva and continued, "I remember that the young master used to like to eat this, and he also wanted to taste it for other people in the house, so he bought a lot." ”
Jin Yuan couldn't wait to pounce on the meat, and grabbed the words: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Dinner is almost ready to eat, so call the others and go to the hall to eat together. ”
"You gluttonous cat, let's go!" Uncle Chen smiled from ear to ear, and was dragged into the hall by Jin Yuan.
When Li Chu saw Jin Yuan's appearance, he couldn't help laughing, being able to eat the "thousand miles of incense" from his hometown in the Western Capital really made people forget the fatigue for a while.
"What's it, so fragrant?" Ding Yue smelled the smell and came to the table, and Ding Mi, who came with him, hurriedly pulled him down and said, "Look at the second brother's greedy appearance, don't drip your saliva." ”
Jin Yuan's hand was already uncontrollable, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he sandwiched a piece of meat into Lexi's bowl, and said softly: "You have lost a lot of weight, eat more." ”
Le Xi shook his head, held back his tears and said, "Grandpa hasn't been gone for a long time, and I don't eat meat." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all felt very sorry for this girl who was still in the age of the golden hairpin with a double flat bun, and they comforted her.
"Lexi, you have to eat, you have to eat more, so that you can have strength, if Mr. Wu is alive, he must hope that you can live well." Ding Yue said as he picked up a piece of meat and handed it to her bowl.
Ding Shi also picked up a piece of meat with his uninjured left hand, carefully put it into the bowl, and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Ding Yue is right, what you are happy is what your grandfather hopes for the most." ”
"In the future, I will be your sister, if someone bullies you, just tell me, I have a master now, and my martial arts are good." Ding Mi said and went to sandwich the meat.
Le Xi looked at the meat piled up in the bowl, the warm tears could not hold back any longer, grandpa's death was like a door, closing all the happiness in her heart, but she didn't know that there were still many doors in her heart, which were opened one by one by these people in front of her.
Uncle Chen picked up the largest piece of meat and got up to reach her bowl, "Le Xi is good, don't cry, Uncle Chen is about the same age as your grandfather, and Uncle Chen will be your grandfather in the future, and he will treat you like his own granddaughter." ”
"Okay, Xiao Lexi, wipe your tears quickly, the meat won't taste good when it's cold." Li Chu smiled faintly at her, and also reached out and grabbed a piece of meat into her bowl.
Le Xi nodded heavily, keeping in mind the kind faces of these people in front of him, and Feng Jiuqiao's smiling face suddenly crossed his mind, Le Xi hurriedly shook his head and skimmed off this thought, and gobbled up the meat in front of him.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly......" Uncle Chen looked at Le Xi dotingly and smiled, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Li Chu and said, "Isn't it time to find a private school teacher for Le Xi?" ”
Li Chu nodded and agreed: "Uncle Chen can do it, find Mr. Private School, tell Jin Yuan, let him go and vacate a room." ”
"Peng", the sound of the wine jar breaking startled everyone, and before they could react, someone outside shouted: "Ah, I'm sorry, the wine jar accidentally fell." ”
Only then did a few people realize that it was Zhu Zi, Zhu Chou and others who were drinking wine and eating meat on the roof, no, he then asked: "Uncle Chen, is there any meat, this meat is delicious, not enough for a few brothers to eat, Lao Tzu must drag an ox cart to buy him a cart tomorrow." ”
"Hahaha......"
In the laughter of the hall, Li Chu nodded a plate of meat on the table with his eyes, and motioned to Uncle Chen to take it, Uncle Chen sighed very lightly, handed it to the eaves with great reluctance, and said angrily: "Na, here you go." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Chen! Tomorrow, there will be a carload of meat for Uncle Chen! Zhu Zi hooked his legs to the eaves, and one leaned back and walked away the meat.
Uncle Chen looked at the empty plate, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Only I have it, don't the young master and the others have it?" ”
"Hmm...... All of them have ......."
He replied vaguely from outside, and everyone couldn't help but laugh again.
