Although it was already February, it was snowing in Xiaoshi Village, and the road was sparsely populated, and the soldiers on duty at the city gate were rubbing their hands and sleeves, huddled in the city gate hole and were too lazy to move. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What the is this weather, it's a terrible spring cold."

The other smiled bitterly: "Seeing that the city gate is about to close, I can bear it." ”

"This son, the Liao dogs are too cold, and the ghost is here!"

"Ah, look," the same value elbowed him, "what the hell." ”

In the distance, several large carts came on the gray dirt road, led by a cart with a silver rat skin top, and a generally tall Hetao horse, which was not in a hurry or slow.

"What kind of immortal is this?" The four guards forgot about the cold at this moment, and they all slipped in a row at the city gate and craned their necks to watch.

After waiting for about half a burnt of incense, the convoy arrived. The four carts came to a steady stop in unison, and when the snow splashed by the horses' hooves had settled, a little guy poked his head out of the car with a grin and handed out a piece of paperwork.

The soldier came up and took a look: "The road guide is complete, but we still have to check and inspect the car according to the rules." ”

Before these words fell, a piece of silver had fallen into the snow with a pop, and the little guy was only heard laughing: "There are some women in this car, it is not very convenient, please be accommodating." ”

The doorman picked up the silver and weighed it, and sneered, "What place do you think this is?" Phew. You take it back. ”

"Hey! You and I ...... master."

"Anping, stop playing." The voice of a young man came from the carriage, the felt curtain whirred, and the man was already standing in the ground.

He was less than thirty years old, with a delicate face, his black hair was casually curled with a pineapple hairpin, and his hands were copied in the sleeves of his gray-blue cotton shirt, smiling lazily.

When the doorman saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Hey, hey, come here." ”

The other three spirits have already landed on one knee: "General Xiao!" ”

"Zhao Ping, Lu Wuliu, Zhang Lao Wu, little thorn, yes, I didn't embarrass our Yanmen Pass."

"General Xiao...... Are you really back? ”

"If you should search it, search it quickly, I still have to go into the city to worship General Tian."

"Yes!"

After entering the city, Xiao Yanran didn't bother to get into the car, so she walked slowly by the car.

"Hey, you're pretty recognizable," a woman's disdainful voice came from the car.

Xiao Yanran smiled: "Yes, I haven't seen the king of Xiangyang called Pang Taishi. ”

"Whew!"

This small stone village has one street, six small streets, and more than a dozen alleys, and after a while, it has arrived at the Bianjing Building of Wudu Lane on the long street. The snow stopped, and there was some sunset, reflecting the white silk in front of the door of Bian Jinglou in blood red.

"Who's coming?" A lieutenant stepped forward to stop the convoy.

The little guy smiled and handed over the name post: "I'm annoyed that this general will inform me that my son-in-law wants to see General Liu." ”

The lieutenant gave the lieutenant a blank look, turned around and went in.

After waiting for a long time, the captain came out, squinted his eyes and said, "Let's go in." ”

Ning Anping lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "This Liu Qingtian is amazing, he can still have this attitude when he sees the famous post." ”

Xiao Yanran didn't care either, and said, "Anping, you take the two girls to the inn to rest first, and I will return after visiting General Liu." ”

Entering the lobby of Bian Jinglou, a forty or fifty-year-old bearded military general sat in the hall, wrapped in a white linen robe wrapped around his body. Xiao Yanran came in, and when he saw that he didn't move, he arched his hand with a smile: "Old General Liu." The military general glanced at him, and Fang said: "General Xiao, it is reasonable to say that I should give you a salute, but I have the filial piety of General Tian on my body, and I have to offend." On the next day, you will open the hall and receive the big seal, and it will not be too late for me Liu Qingtian to apologize. ”

"General Liu is right, Xiao is here to put incense on the incense for General Tian and disturb General Liu, can you lead the way for Xiao?"

"Well," Liu Qingtian tilted his head, "Li Tou'er, you can take him there." ”

"Thank you."

followed the lieutenant into the back hall, and in the middle was the tablet of Jingbei General Tian Liewu, Xiao Yanran twisted a stick of incense, knelt down in his robe, and said in a low voice: "Old general, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me in the future!" Then he bowed respectfully three times, looked at the tablet and pondered for a while before turning out of the hall.

Captain Li was still waiting outside the door, and when he saw him come out, he said, "General Liu said that he is busy with official business, please take care of yourself." ”

Xiao Yanran smiled, not annoyed, and walked out of the gate by herself and walked towards the alley.

Liu Qingtian saw that he had gone far away, so he came out of the side hall, sat down in the hall, slapped the table and said hatefully: "I don't know what the saint is thinking, he actually found such a little white face, Qi didn't let Liao Gouzi laugh at our big Song Dynasty!" ”

"General Liu, I heard that this person was a guard general at Yanmen Pass, and I don't know why, the Holy God gave him back to his hometown. This time, General Tian Lao went suddenly, and Du Shangshu and Prime Minister Wang Cheng strongly recommended him to take over, so he was specially recalled. ”

"Those people in the court know a fart, they are all small calculations in their hearts, if he can be a general, he will not be relegated back to his hometown," Liu Qingtian knocked on the table vigorously, "Confused!" ”

Seeing that General Liu was angry, Captain Li didn't dare to say any more, but he couldn't help but sigh worried about his net worth and life.

There is only one inn in Xiaoshi Village, so there is no need to worry about making a mistake, but Xiao Yanran was still stunned when she stepped into the door of the Xiangfu Inn, and saw a few oily cooks with a teacup each, standing at the door in a daze to make a welcome gesture, and reluctantly turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen.

"Shopkeeper, what is this?"

"Childe, don't you know," the shopkeeper ran out from behind the counter with a trademark flick of his felt hat, "two girls came just now, and they asked for a few upper rooms and a table of dishes." One of the girls went into the kitchen, lost her temper, and threw out all my cooks, and no one was allowed to go in, and I was alone in it. Childe, are you going to be sharpened or are you staying in a hotel? ”

"I'll eat."

As he was talking, a female voice mixed with the Chinese dialect of Shuzhong came out of the kitchen crisp and bright, "The choking sea pepper fire should be small, I can't get it, the dried sea pepper has burned my beard, and I am very annoyed." Which Chele meat, so thick, I don't know how long it can be boiled into a lamp nest. Then the curtain of the kitchen door was lifted, and a plate of hot and shiny back to the pot collapsed steadily on the table. Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in green clothes and small sleeves came out, holding golden fried corn kernels in one hand and a pot of red boiled fish fillets in the other, neatly put them on the table, and did not look at the door, so she raised her voice and said: "I guess you have also arrived, hey!" They all came down to eat. ”

A girl in yellow went downstairs like a wind, looked at the table, and shouted: "Where's my kung pao chicken!" Chicken! Don't dice meat! ”

"You have to ask the shopkeeper if there are any chickens."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was so frightened that he flashed out of the door. I saw that the other guests and the cooks were stunned.

Xiao Yanran finally shook her head and laughed: "It's really quiet for a moment. ”

"Yes, Childe," Ning Anping wiped his sweat out of the crowd and whispered, "It's good that those two went straight out of the gate, otherwise I don't know what the excitement would be." ”

Xiao Yanran walked generously to the top of the table and sat down under the gaze of everyone, pulled up her cuffs as if she was at home, and said, "Let's eat." ”

Maybe it's because the tutor is decent, maybe it's because I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch the last piece of meat when I speak, but the meal is extraordinarily quiet. After the half-burnt incense, Xiao Yanran, Xiao Qing'er and Jin Huang drank the tea with satisfaction in their teacups, but Ning Anping pitifully scraped the last bit of oil Xing'er into his bowl of half a bowl of rice.

"This shopkeeper doesn't know you? It's too bad. Jin Huang asked in a low voice.

"This shopkeeper is new, the second child is new, and even the cook is new. Speaking of which, I still owe the former shopkeeper a few white water eggs. ”

"My eggs!" The sound of grinding teeth sounded sadly.

"Anping, don't shave, I'll go get you some kimchi," Xiao Qing'er couldn't bear to stand up.

"Hey, as a ...... What's that...... Do you still bring a pickle jar when you go out? ”

The door of the inn, which had been covered, was pushed open suddenly, and a man dressed as a military general in his early thirties stood at the door with excitement on his face.

"Oh, Master Meng, why are you here?" The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.

Meng Yunping nodded sloppily, stared at the man drinking tea at the dinner table and shouted, "Yan Ran, it's actually you!" Liu Lao'er didn't tell me earlier! After saying that, he came up and slapped his shoulder.

"Brother Yunping, Yunping," Xiao Yanran laughed as he checked his arm, "I heard that you were closed, how dare I disturb you." ”

"Don't drag the text with me, say goodbye to Yinzhou, it's been three years, you are doing well."

"Not bad fart, it's not like I'm in a fire pit with you. Your poison was plucked out, didn't it run into your head? ”

"You guy, seeing that I don't have a good word, I want Lao Tzu to explain in front of you, there is no door! Walk! I'm going to drink! ”

"You? I'm afraid I won't be able to go back if I'm drunk, right? The shopkeeper, bring five jars of wine to my room. ”

"Don't worry, the last altar must be mine."

The two men dismantled each other and went upstairs vigorously. Leaving the three downstairs staring at the stairs in amazement.

"You've known him for a long time, when did you see him talk like that?" Jin Huang touched Xiao Qing'er's elbow.

Xiao Qing'er shook her head blankly.

Ning Anping finally finished eating at this time, wiped his mouth and said, "Although it is not nothing, it is also the time when my son-in-law is still there." As soon as he said this, he sighed to himself.

The shopkeeper took advantage of the convenience of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked in a low voice, "What is the origin of your son-in-law?" Master Meng is the partial general of the old general of Yanmen Guantian, and in front of Liao Gouzi, he is a well-known figure. ”

Jin Huang glanced at him: "What is the general, that's it, cough ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by Xiao Qing'er and Ning Anping. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
