338 There is not enough silver
Yugong and Chu Qin failed to catch the gangsters, and when they returned, the table was already full of delicacies.
It's actually very unaccustomed to eating at such a large table, and I only have one time in my life, in Jixiangyuan in Cicheng. Thinking about it, it is not as warm as the roadside stalls, but during the conversation, I heard that the round table at the Yang Mansion was more exaggerated, and I secretly said to myself that I must adapt.
The wine was something I had never tasted, sweet, and I was addicted to it, and I continued to listen to them chatter while drinking.
I knew a little about the festival in Yangfu when I was very young, although I didn't know Yang Xiuyi's family background at that time, but his family would be very grand as soon as the festival arrived, and he would send a lot of brocade clothes and jade food to the mountain at every turn. Of course, with Uncle Feng here, Master and I are not blessed to touch this light. But then again, I didn't have the heart to get involved at the time.
In the Yang family tree given to me by the master, Yang Xiuyi's aunt and sister-in-law are the emperor's favorite concubines, and the current queen mother seems to be Yang Xiuyi's grandfather's cousin. Listening to their conversation, Yang Xiuyi's parents have to enter the palace for a banquet every festival, and nearly 1,000 people from the Yang family will gather together to eat and drink spicy, watch dances and enjoy music.
I remembered in a trance that Qingchan had said that she had danced a dance for Yang Xiuyi, and I couldn't help touching my waist, now that I'm so thin, I shouldn't be ugly when I dance......
Just as he was about to lean over and ask Yang Xiuyi what kind of dance he liked, a waitress stepped forward and said that someone was visiting.
I frowned: "Visiting here?" ”
Deng He said with a smile: "The capital is full of eyes, I'm afraid we will be targeted as soon as we come in." ”
Yang Xiuyi asked who it was, and the maid reported a large list of names, all of which were the sons of whom, and felt that the origin was not small.
Yang Xiuyi looked at me: "These people will definitely look for you to gossip." If you don't want to see it, I'll ......."
"It's fine."
I picked up a pile of pastries and got up with a plate: "Hurry up and finish talking, I still want to go to the Lantern Festival to play." ”
This kind of thing must not be done to outsiders, otherwise it will reach the ears of the master, and I will be punished for writing a bunch of commandments. Historical Theory, Book of Virtues.
Back on the platform, Shen Yunzhen's thin figure was standing against the railing, and I lay next to her, picked up a honey bean cake and stuffed it into my mouth.
The veil in front of her hat was lifted by her, and her face was pale and delicate. His eyes were quietly looking at the floating world on the street.
When the evening breeze blew, her voice sounded coldly: "Honey bean cake, my favorite food when I was young." ”
I paused, put down the half-bitten pastry, and set the whole plate aside.
Her forearms rested on the railing. smiled lightly: "You must not imagine how delicious the honey bean cake I made is." ”
I looked at the crowd on the street, in the same posture as her, bent my back slightly, and said with a smile: "You can't imagine how many honey bean cakes I can eat in one go." ”
"Won't you get tired?"
"No, I don't get tired of eating, and I can't get drunk with wine."
"Oh?" She smiled. "I don't know whether to say envy or sympathize with you, if you don't get drunk. So what's the point? She raised her eyes and said lightly, "Isn't wine just for getting drunk?" ”
It seems to be talking about me, but when it comes to it, I can at least taste the wine. And she is a ghost, but she can't even touch it.
I didn't speak. She continued: "It's boring, isn't it? ”
"What?"
"Live like I ......," she gently lifted her cheeks. The corners of his mouth smirked, "The smell on my body is from the formation, it stinks, I can smell it too." But what can I do, grandpa's wish is not fulfilled, and I can't die yet. ”
She stretched out her hand and pointed to a rouge shop across the street: "You see, I loved these rouge gouache and beautiful clothes the most in my life, but now I can only stay here and watch, and it takes you so much effort to even change your clothes." On the ninth day of the first month, do you know that the most painful thing for people is not to ask for it, but to gain and lose. ”
I put my head on my arm and whispered: "Both of these are painful, you only taste what you have gained and lost, how can you ever ask for it but not get it?" You know ......."
The words "Zuo Xian" almost blurted out, but I swallowed them back in time.
I looked at the big red lantern opposite, and said what can I do, let her know what Zuo Xian has done for her, and what else can I change?
She is a ghost, and Zuo Xian is a human being, the father of several children.
"Huh?" She tilted her head and said, "What do I know?" ”
I shook my head and skipped the topic: "Where did you hide during the day?" ”
"Daytime?" She narrowed her eyebrows slightly and sighed, "It's okay if you don't mention it, but I will be upset when I mention it." ”
"At the beginning, there was an old house in Chang'an District that went out of the water, and many people died, and I stayed in it for a while, but I was almost caught by a few Taoist priests. After that, I found a vacant house of a large family, and within a few days of entering, my body became weaker and weaker, and I got that smell. It turned out that there were evil spirit-fighting utensils in the house. This taste is so uncomfortable, I, Shen Yunzhen, am actually an evil thing. ”
She smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "Later, I found a good place to go, which was the wine cellar. This vast Kyoto is full of restaurants and flower buildings where the princes and grandchildren have fun, which is convenient for me, but the only uncomfortable thing is the smell, which makes people want to drink but can't drink it...... Ninth year, guess how much I drink? ”
"It's definitely not as good as me."
"Haha!" She smiled, "You're cheating, you don't count." Speaking of this, she suddenly rejoiced, "That's right! You can go to the wine competition! ”
As soon as I heard these two words, I shook my head again and again: "No, no, no, I won't go." ”
"Why?"
I blushed and glanced towards the wing, I couldn't see Yang Xiuyi from this angle, otherwise my face would be even redder.
I blame Master for this.
I can't remember if I was 12 or 13 years old, but one day my master took us to Johor to play, and that night there happened to be a winery at the door to set up a wine competition, and the prize was fifty taels of snowflake silver, and the master immediately led me up with his eyes shining. I have a special physique, not to mention that a thousand cups are not drunk, and it is no problem if a thousand altars are not drunk, but when a thousand altars go down, there must be a place to install it. That time, I only drank two jars and wanted to pee, but the master didn't allow it, insisting that I was pretending to be and that I had to drink ten jars. I held back, suffocated, suffocated, and couldn't hold back after drinking the fourth jar, so I threw away the wine jar and rushed out of the ring.
Master was already drunk at that time, and he couldn't catch me at all, so I was in a hurry to drill everywhere, and I ended up getting into Uncle Feng's arms.
He was accompanying Yang Xiuyi to visit the night market, I didn't care so much, I hugged Uncle Feng's waist and shouted that I wanted to go to the thatched house, which stunned the pair of masters and servants for a long time.
In the end, Yang Xiuyi carried me back to the inn where I stayed, and when I walked on the wall, I didn't stop talking cruelly, if I couldn't hold it back and dirty his body, he would step me into the dung pit......
Because of this incident, I ignored Master for a while, and I didn't dare to participate in any more wine competitions.
This is too embarrassing, I definitely can't tell Shen Yunzhen, but fortunately, she is not a gossip person, and when she saw that I didn't answer, she didn't ask anymore.
But what is mentioned is what it is, and at this moment when we were silent, the sound of gongs and drums came from a lakeside square by the Ziqing River.
We can't see any excitement from this angle, but there is a person's name that comes clearly.
"Shi Qianzhi is the first!"
"Awesome!"
“……”
I subconsciously looked at Shen Yunzhen, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes quickly after the smoke waves.
I pondered for a moment and said softly, "It's a terrible thing for a ghost to be obsessed. ”
As soon as the words fell, another gong and drum sounded, and a man roared in a sharp voice: "The first person to take the stage, Shi Qianzhi!" ”
"Boom!"
"Challenger, Gu Maoxing!"
We were all stunned.
What does it mean that these two people are on stage at the same time, and their voices can still be heard clearly from so far away?
Shen Yunzhen said in a deep voice: "Gu Maoxing is leading me over. ”
"He knows you're ghostly?"
She frowned: "I don't know ......"
"You're luring me." I sighed and picked up the plate on the ground: "You stay here, don't go over and make a mess for me." ”
"Lead you?"
"Leave it alone, I'll be back soon."
When I said these words, I actually didn't know the bottom of my heart, but I couldn't go this time. Gu Maoxing led me over with such fanfare, and it was clear that he would attack Shi Qian. Regardless of whether Shi Qianzhi is worth it for me to drill this trap, anyway, I will have to fight with Gu Maoxing sooner or later, today he took the initiative to expose and leave me in the dark, who said that it was not an opportunity.
As soon as I entered the wing, the people in the room looked at me, and the sons and brothers in the capital were all good-looking, and they were all dressed in brocade clothes and jade crowns, all of them had a wonderful demeanor.
Yang Xiuyi looked a little bored, his slender fingers were playing with the wine cup, I didn't have time to pay attention to those smiling boys, I walked up to him and squatted down as soon as I put the plate down, he hurriedly pulled me: "What's wrong?" ”
I hugged his knee and whispered, "I have my eye on a lantern." ”
He was about to get up: "I'll accompany you ......"
I leaned my head on his lap and pressed it hard: "No, I'll go alone." His brow furrowed slightly, and I spread my hands weakly, "But I don't have enough money on my body......"
This is the first time in my life that I have asked him for money, and it is really hard to say.
He was stunned, his face was strange, and he couldn't get used to it.
I shook his thighs, he turned his eyes to look at Deng He, and the intimate Lord Deng immediately took out a stack of silver tickets.
For the first time in my life, I just lost it, and it was really the first time I had so much money!
I glared at Deng He like a hateful man, and pulled one out of it with a trembling hand.
One thousand taels, good ...... A little Deng He suddenly appeared in my heart and was making a grimace at me and twisting his ass, Tian Chujiu, are you still a rich woman, are you still a rich woman, are you still a rich woman......
I carefully put away the silver ticket and said in a low voice, "I'll be back soon." ”
Yang Xiuyi didn't like to control and interfere with me, of course, I didn't need to worry about buying a lantern, I staggered downstairs, followed by the jade bow that automatically followed.
When I arrived at the counter downstairs, several guys recognized me and greeted me one after another, and I put the silver tickets on the counter: "Shopkeeper, are there twenty silver tickets of fifty taels?" ”
