Chapter One Hundred and One
The crisp cicada chirping accompanied by the action of the man cooking on the fire, as if protesting against the smoke and fire around him, Ah Shuang's left hand covered the unpleasant smell with his sleeve, and his right hand kept waving, so it was easy to find the head of the man, Hua Eighteen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The people on the stove are not short of food, although they don't say that they all have fat heads and big ears with meals, but they are also full of red light, Hua Eighteen has a bitter face, no matter how he eats, his face is always sallow, and his body is still lean, no matter who sees it, he feels that he lacks food and clothing.
His appearance made people who didn't know nod their heads, and when they talked about him, they gave him a thumbs up, saying that he never guarded and stole himself, and he was of good character, and Ah Shuang was the same. Seeing that Hua 18 rubbed her fingers a little uneasily, and swept the two fat men beside him who were not so much strong as they were fat, she sighed lightly, took out a paper bag from her arms, and whispered: "The girl saw that everyone was so hot that she didn't have much energy, so she ordered me to send this thing and let you add it to the soup, saying that it can refresh you." ”
Hua 18 carefully took the small paper bag, slowly opened it, and found that there were seven or eight slender strange plants inside, with dark red bodies and a small piece of green pedicles, and couldn't help but make a difficulty. He pondered for a moment before he asked Ah Shuang with some hesitation: "This thing, what is ......?"
"The girl said that this is Qin pepper that came from the Western Regions and is only cultivated in a small area in Liangzhou, which is not only expensive, but also very difficult to find." Ah Shuang was originally a big grinning character, and he couldn't detect the suspicion in Hua Shiba's tone, so he didn't suspect him, and simply poured out Xu Hui's confession, "To chop Qin pepper, grind it into powder, put a lot of salt, and boil it into a pot of thick soup, everyone drink it, and ensure that the spirit is 100 times greater!" ”
Hua Eighteen heard this, and his originally sallow face was even more bitter and dripping.
He was able to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Xu Hui and was in charge of the food of a group of people, relying on his absolute loyalty and prudence to Xu Hui. Don't say that Ah Shuang gave him a message and gave him something, even if Ah Yuan came over with Xu Hui's warrant. This kind of inexplicable thing, he didn't dare to add it to the pot!
In line with the idea of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, Hua 18 gritted his teeth, wrapped Qin Jiao, put it in his pocket, and didn't do it.
When the whole team was resting, Xu Hui stood on a small hill, looking at the city in the distance, and only after a long time did he say softly: "From now on, ten miles to the east, it is where Chen County is located, and it is also the former site of Chen County Xie's family. ”
Her words are a little sad, depressed and tired, if Xu Ze is here, she must know that she remembers the old things in her previous life, and her heart is surging. It's a pity that the people who followed Xu Hui were Ah Yuan and Qin Jiu, who were unaware, and it was the former who hesitated for a while before replying: "The Xie clan of Chen County has long declined, and no one holds important positions in Chen County, not to mention, even the position of the patriarch has fallen to Jiankang's side branch, and the surname of Qiao has changed from the surname of Qiao to the surname Wu." I don't know what kind of etiquette the girl plans to use to visit the elders of the Xie family? ”
"The people of the Xie clan in Chen County are neither patriarchs nor high-ranking officials, so there is no reason for me to take a detour to meet them." Hearing Ah Yuan's proposal, Xu Hui was not unmoved, after all, in her previous life, she also lived in Xie Shiwu Fort in Chen County, made friends, and also provoked enemies, if she could revisit the old place, it would be good. But soon, she dispelled this seemingly beautiful idea, but in fact there was no difference.
Today's Chenjun Xie clan is not a friend or foe with her, and there is no Baba to stick it up, and gradually the Xie clan is declining, no matter which side does not please the truth, even if this branch was a descendant, it is the same. Merely...... She pondered for a moment, then changed the topic and asked Qin Jiu, "The news I received a few days ago said that the Cui family's family sending team is about to leave Qian County?" Counting the hours, they should have been in Chenjun for a while, right? Will...... Will you bump into us in the next few days? ”
If it was really such an unfortunate coincidence, the Xie Mansion in Chen County, perhaps, she would have to go in again.
Qin Jiu had already thought about it many times in his heart, and when he heard Xu Hui's question, he said: "If we keep chasing them on the official road according to the speed of the Cui family's family sending team, we will be able to collide with them head-on in about three or four days." ”
Xu Hui sighed lightly, and just wanted to say something, when he heard heavy footsteps coming from behind him, so he stopped talking and listened intently. After a while, Fang smiled and said, "Ah Shuang, this girl, who made her so angry?" ”
Ah Yuan and Qin Jiu both turned around and looked at Ah Shuang, who walked up while stomping his feet, Ah Shuang saw this, not only did not feel strange, but said angrily: "Girl, you give a comment!" You asked me to give Qin pepper to Hua Eighteen, who expected him to promise well on his face, saying that he would definitely do it, and when he turned around, he still made a light and tasteless mushroom soup! ”
Xu Hui knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, so he smiled and said: "Qin Jiao is too rare, Hua Eighteen is cautious and doesn't dare to give it to the pot casually, it's normal." Such a trivial matter, there is no need to be angry, Ah Shuang, you are also tired for a day, go eat something! ”
Although her words were light, they implied a command, and they were looking at Ah Yuan wildly. Ah Shuang was also rarely clever, and took the order to retreat, and after she left, Qin Jiufang knelt on one knee and made amends for Hua Eighteen: "Hua Eighteen is too careful, even the message brought by the girl's maid is suspicious, it is too undeserved, and I hope the girl will forgive him this time!" ”
"It's my lack of thought about this matter, it's not your fault, you get up!" Xu Hui didn't look back, and said lightly, "Next time I travel, I will let Hua Shibai get some Qin pepper by himself, so as to save the gift halfway, and increase the right and wrong so much." As the leader of the gang, he can't be too cautious about the food of the whole team. I will not punish him, I will reward him! It's just that for the sake of Ah Shuang's face, the matter of rewards will be suppressed for the time being! ”
Those who serve the monarch are most afraid of inadvertently offending the people who serve the monarch, talking day and night, and taking eye medicine without a trace, and being alienated unconsciously, and even worrying about their lives. Hearing that Hua Eighteen did not give Ah Shuang face like this, Xu Hui did not have any dissatisfaction, but made a fair ruling, Qin Jiu's heart was hot, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, girl." ”
"It's just ......" Xu Hui slowly dragged out his voice, and after Qin Jiu's mood fluctuated, he said slowly, "It's good to be careful, but if you are too careful, you will be cowardly." Ah Yuan and Ah Shuang are both absolutely credible people, I have no skills, so naturally I will let them pass orders on my behalf, I can't let you run for everything, right? ”
Knowing that Xu Hui was beating Hua Eighteen, Qin Jiu responded neatly and decided to go back and talk to Hua Eighteen seriously.
Xu Hui didn't want Qin Jiu to have time to think about it, and when he saw him responding, he changed his words and said lightly: "It's cold on the ground, get up!" In the next few days, we will be able to meet the family sending team, so that everyone can tie red silk and safflower, so that the Cui family will not think that we are robbing! ”
Ah Yuan saw that the atmosphere was quite cold, so he joked: "I heard that the end of the weapon had to be tied with red silk, and a red flower had to be worn on the body, everyone was sad, and they felt that it was too much of a hindrance, and it also made it easy for others to look sideways." Wang Twelfth still muttered, if you want to be shocked, it is better for us to wear green robes and make Cui's family sending team startled! ”
When the people get married, the main tone is red, and for the sake of joy and good omen, even if they are poor, they have to pull a few feet of cloth down and tie a few strips of silk. But the family all obeyed the ancient etiquette and asked Najib to hire his relatives...... The people involved are all dressed in green robes. If any family worships the temple and worships their ancestors, whoever wears red clothes will be ridiculed by others.
Most of Xu Huizhi's subordinates have never read a book, so they don't know the transgression and taboo of this sentence, let alone an ancient ceremony, so they don't care about the uncomfortable meaning of their words, just smile: "If you really want to wear a green robe so much, hurry up and find a good girl to marry!" ”
Ah Yuan knew that he had accidentally said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "They are all rough people, how can they understand ancient etiquette, so they just want to have fun." You see, no matter how much you shout, you don't happily tie up the red silk? It's a girl...... What kind of dress is the girl going to wear these days? ”
"I remember, you brought me some red riding clothes." Xu Hui said lightly, "Brother is married, no matter what, I want to be happy, I naturally wear red." ”
With that, her eyes once again turned into the distance.
The genius who can be said by his grandfather to "give him a sense of foreboding", Liu Zhan, you must not let me down.
At the same time, in the Cui family's family delivery team, which was also cooking on the fire, the fat-headed and big-eared spoons were shouting and drinking, full of style. Hundreds of people worked for these masters, or washed vegetables, or selected vegetables, or cut vegetables, and were busy.
Near the makeshift stove in the corner, squatted a man in a gray shirt, with a pale face and an abnormally thin figure. Seeing this, the little butler in charge of the stove took advantage of the chefs' inattention, came over, and asked with some worry: "Hey, can you do it!" Don't burn the fire halfway and fall to the ground, if the chief steward comes to ask, I can't cover you! ”
"Don't worry, I can withstand it." Liu Zhan smiled reluctantly, took out a small piece of silver, and stuffed it into the little steward. The little steward happily took the silver, and then looked at Liu Zhan's face, and saw that although his action and speed of putting firewood were slow, he could see that he still had some strength left, so he relieved himself and went to inspect the other places.
Seeing the little steward leave, Liu Zhan pressed his colic chest, and after a long time, Fang Chang let out a sigh of relief and continued to add firewood to the stove slowly, little by little.
Probably seeing that his movements were a little slow and the fire was not burning enough, another steward who came over from the inspection saw it, and he scolded him for scolding his head and covering his face. Liu Zan lowered his head and resignedly responded, and the beating firelight in the stove reflected the coldness, murderous intent and resentment in his eyes, which became more and more shocking.
His resentment and hatred are not aimed at such small people, but against those high-ranking characters who dominate the life and death of others, as well as his ...... Blood relatives. (To be continued.) )
