Chapter 279: The troubled times first appeared, and the Bai family suffered
Bai Kee, evening. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's obviously night, but the variety of wine and dishes is rich, the price is cheap, and the taste is really real, Bai Ji still has many customers drinking and chatting, and the appearance of singing and dancing is level.
"When have you not gone back, what a bunch of drunkards." Zhao Sanshi shook off the rag and sat down to rest.
"How can the guests rush out when they come to the door." April leaned on the counter to check the dishes, "It's okay, let's bring it over." ”
"No one cares about the price of this dish, the price changes again in the morning and the evening, fortunately it has little impact on us, otherwise how would the business be done. I don't think that group of readers is wrong, this will be chaotic sooner or later. "Zhao Sanshi can see that this will continue like this, and the shops opposite will not last for three months.
"It's not what we say about chaos or not, it seems to be too peaceful before."
"It wasn't peaceful before, it was when we were in the countryside, but this is Kyoto, how can it be the same as the countryside." Zhao Sanshi whispered into her ear. "I just heard that the Holy Lord was sick when he was in the last court today, and the imperial doctor didn't look good for a day, and someone said that he wanted the prince to succeed to the throne that day."
"Where did you hear the news, don't talk nonsense." April hurriedly covered his mouth, can this be nonsense.
"Woo." Zhao Sanshi pointed to the table at the window, he had listened to what these officials and young masters said, "I don't know if our owner knows." ”
"The general must have a headache if he suffers this time, how can he have the kung fu to care about these things. As long as we do a good job in business, we can take care of the rest. "April's thought is very simple, the sky is falling and there is still a tall person on top.
"Search and search, don't move, cooperate." A group of officers and soldiers in official uniforms entered the house and searched the house with portraits in their hands.
Zhao Sanshi hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "A few officials, wait, why did you come here again after the search this morning." ”
"You ate in the morning and didn't eat in the evening?"
"You can't say that, the small shop is innocent and has never made trouble for the government, what can you do if you search for my customers like this." Search a fart, he can see through it, how many times have these people come to make peace while eating, not to get more benefits. "Another day, another day, I'll invite you adults to drink."
"Where is the nonsense, this is a tribute from the imperial court, you have a few heads enough to vouch, don't get out of the way."
"Search for search, what to do." Bai Hua held the officer and soldier who was about to beat people with one hand, and the two glanced at each other, looking like old acquaintances.
"Yo, it's the second son of Bai, you also came to this place to drink?"
"I don't have any hobbies, I just like to drink."
The man leading the group scoffed. "That's right, I forgot that your Bai family's father and son were punished for their unfavorable work one after another, and now it should be very leisurely, no wonder you have time to come here to drink, unlike our brothers, who work hard and tired."
White birch snorted. "What do you mean!"
"It's not interesting, it's literal, the second young master still goes back to listen to the play like General Bai and squats at home, so as not to cause trouble again."
"You!" Bai Hua grabbed his collar and looked at him angrily, and the other party glared at him not to be outdone. In the past, he was still a little afraid of this Bai family, and now, jokes.
The two of them were aggressive, and the people who were drinking and eating food in the building slipped away when they saw that something was wrong.
"Two adults, don't be angry, stop your anger." April saw that everyone had run out, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. "My lord, you see that our guests are all gone, and there is nothing to search, if you are still not at ease, I will take you to see it myself."
The man glanced at the anxious April, but in his hand was the bulging money bag that she stuffed, and smiled, "Is Bai Ershao going to affect the affairs of the official family?" ”
Bai Hua gritted his teeth and let go of his hand, "Don't be complacent." ”
"Forget it, I won't bother with you when you come to drink so pitiful, brothers, go."
"Yes."
"In April, you actually gave that kind of person silver, why do you only appease him." Bai Hua said depressedly.
"I don't want to get into trouble, if they deliberately find fault and drop a few tables, chairs, benches, chopsticks or something, it's more than that." April curious. "You seem to know each other well?"
"He also trained under his father before, but his father said that he was not right and drove him out of the Iron Cavalry Camp and has always held a grudge." Bai Hua briefly mentioned a few words, found a bench and sat down, "Bring me a pot of wine." ”
"Drinking hurts your body, you drink less." Although he said that, April still took a pot of good wine in Zhao Sanshi's lively eyes. "You all go to the back kitchen, pack up and go."
Zhao Sanshi sat on the railing and watched the helpers be sent away in April. "Second Young Master, what the hell is going on, you and General Bai? I've heard all of these rumors. ”
"It's not a breath of the saint, it's a breath with my father." Bai Hua saw that it was his own person, and the resentment and resentment in his heart also gathered and exploded. "Not only the Bai family, but also several ministers who have a neutral opinion on everything in the court have all been promoted and secretly demoted."
"I don't understand this, but I see that there are more officers and soldiers patrolling in the capital, and the inventory outside the city is also stricter. Listen to the grapevine that someone is rebelling? Zhao Sanshi whispered. Is it true? ”
"I'm not saying you don't care about these things." April heard the words and twisted his ears.
"Okay, okay, I won't inquire about this, I'll inquire about something else, it has something to do with us, Second Young Master, will the price of this rice still rise? There are also official taxes, notices have come out, and the government is reaching out to us to ask for money. Zhao Sanshi sat down opposite Bai Hua and drank with him.
"It's a matter of the Tobe, and I don't know." He hasn't been to court for more than half a month, and he can't understand the direction of the court.
"What about General White? Didn't say anything? ”
Bai Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head, what does it mean? After his father came back from the second holy decree and entered the palace, the whole person seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and locked himself in the room, and he stayed alone for several days, and no one was seen. In the end, his mother couldn't stand it and broke into a fight with him, and it was not clear what the two said, but it was clear that this was the biggest dispute in so many years.
His girlish eyes were swollen from crying, and he was determined to go to the house, so he could stop him because he said that he would stop him, but she did not allow Bai Ziqi to step into the door half a step further. And the depressed General Bai came out after a few days of purification in the ancestral hall, and changed his personality, not only did he move to the study regardless of the people and affairs of his family, but he was even more indifferent to the affairs of the imperial court.
These days, the guests who come to visit are all called by him to listen to the drama and enjoy the song and dance at home together, "My mother closes the door and doesn't care, my father doesn't care about anything and messes with a group of actors, the eldest brother persuaded him to be useless Now he has moved directly to Jingzhao Yamen to live, and the whole house is a cloud of smoke and miasma." So he couldn't stay any longer, and finally couldn't help but come out to drink after holding it back for several days, first he was embarrassed to face them in April, and only hid in Qingyun Building, and today he heard the guests there talking about the Bai family's affairs, so he couldn't help but come here in April to complain.
