Chapter 033: Commitment
The servant looked sneaky, Ye Linde Sima thought of a series of things that happened in Lianzhou County during this time, and became vigilant and hid in a dead end.
Sure enough, as he expected, after a while, he saw a man with a sharp face and a rather obscene appearance, looking around and walking in front of the servant of Liao Governor's Mansion.
Sharpface whispered a few words to the servant, who nodded, and immediately slipped back through the back door.
Ye Sima intuitively felt that this matter was strange, so he asked the little guy around him who knew martial arts to follow with a sharp face, found an opportunity to knock the man unconscious, and quietly brought him back to Sima's mansion, where he wanted to inquire in person.
……
When Lu Tianqi arrived at the kitchen, Ye Tingyao was putting the food on the plate for him, and on the clean white porcelain plate was a round bag of crystal plump white rice, half of which was covered with fragrant green pepper beef tenderloin, and there were three browned potato cakes fried on both sides in the empty space of the plate, as well as a small portion of pickles and a bowl of green vegetable soup.
Lu Tianqi unconsciously began to swallow his saliva, "Mo Yao, don't pretend, I'll eat in the kitchen." ”
Ye Tingyao turned her head and looked at Lu Tianqi in surprise, opened her mouth, she shouted the three words Lu Gongzi awkwardly, and simply smiled, "Tonight is a rice bowl, and everyone serves it separately." ”
Seeing that Lu Tianqi's expression was quite gentle, Xiao Yue boldly stepped forward and said to Lu Tianqi, "Brother Tianqi, Sister Yao said that the essence of the rice bowl is in this soup. ”
Lu Tianqi looked at the rice balls that were clearly colored because half of them were poured with soup, nodded for a while, walked to the dining table, and sat down in his original position.
The meal was quickly placed in front of Lu Tianqi, Lu Tianqi waited until Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo were on the table before starting to move the chopsticks, the white rice dipped in sauce was very delicious, and even the most ordinary ingredients passed through Mo Yao's hands, they would have an unforgettable taste.
Uncle Mo and the others didn't know what to say when they saw that Lu Tianqi was silent, so they only asked Ye Tingyao to scoop up some more beef into Lu Tianqi's bowl.
Lu Tianqi ate all the food on the plate, touched his stomach, put down his chopsticks unsatisfied, and looked up at Uncle Mo.
Uncle Mo has been working in the fields for many years, his face has been sunburned dark brown, he is only thirty-five or sixteen years old, but his hair is gray, and there are many ravines and deep lines on his face, showing his old age.
Lu Tianqi sighed lightly in his heart, this is the low-level peasant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, hard-working and kind-hearted.
Lu Tianqi thought to himself that he was indifferent but not hard-hearted, and others were kind to him, and he could feel that Uncle Mo and the others were also relatives to him.
Uncle Mo was embarrassed by Lu Tianqi's look, and wanted to beckon Lu Tianqi to eat more, but found that there were no vegetables on the table, and there was not even a soup base left.
Lu Tianqi's voice sounded, less indifferent and irritable, and more clear like a mountain stream spring hitting the stone wall, "I'm bothering you these days, I will take the guards to leave tomorrow, the bag of money is still left, Ning Han will hand it over to Uncle Mo after cleaning it up, and when I return to Beijing, I will order someone to send another thousand taels of silver to repay everyone's saving and caring kindness." ”
Uncle Mo and the others were about to keep Lu Tianqi and refuse to be paid, but Lu Tianqi had already stood up and walked out of the kitchen without looking back.
Ye Tingyao's eyes were slightly red, but she buried her head and muttered in a low voice, "It's so stingy, a life is only worth a thousand taels of silver." ”
The table was silent, because everyone had already finished their meals, otherwise even if the food was delicious, it would be difficult to swallow at this time.
After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Tingyao stood outside the house and admired the Lizhuang Village at night, the heart of the Anqu River shook a cold waning moon, and the peach blossoms on the other side of the river had been thanked, Ye Tingyao still remembered the situation of picking peach blossoms on the first day......
At that time, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the fragrance of the peach blossom forest is refreshing, and a gust of wind rises, and the flower branches will tremble with the breeze.
The blown petals first scatter a few drops of dew, and then swirl with the wind, slowly falling on the hair buns and shoulders of the people under the trees.
She always likes to look down at the narrow sleeves stained with flower petals, and the shallow water stains on the coarse cloth and gray linen are lined with a little silver-white pink......
Today, the moon is gone.
Sorrow always inadvertently invaded her heart, Ye Tingyao was secretly sentimental, a stone fell into the water, and the waning moon was shattered.
Lu Tianqi stood behind Ye Tingyao and said coldly, "The moon is not satisfied, there is something to appreciate." ”
"Mutilations inspire poets more." Ye Tingyao didn't reply, and people said vicissitudes.
"Oh, if you are a poet, you will be a layman." Lu Tianqi pursed his lips and walked to Ye Tingyao's side.
Ye Tingyao turned her head to look at Lu Tianqi's side face, "I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you, what are you looking for me as a layman?" By the way, what time will I leave tomorrow, I'll get up early to make dry food, and you will take it on the road. ”
Lu Tianqi's face was a little dark, and he snorted, "You just want me to leave quickly?" ”
"Since you can't stay, it's better to pray for him to have a smooth journey." Ye Tingyao pursed her lips and chuckled, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes reflected the moonlight, sparse and light but sad.
"Hmph, you're smart." Lu Tianqi paused, and suddenly picked up a jade pendant and sent it to Ye Tingyao's eyes, the jade pendant shook badly, but Ye Tingyao still recognized at a glance that this was a white jade pendant worn by Lu Tianqi and engraved with the word 'prayer' in Yangwen.
Lu Tianqi said lightly, "This jade pendant is for you, if you go to the capital, come to me with this jade pendant, I will fund you to open a restaurant...... But there is a word in advance, if you open a restaurant, I still have to be the owner, and when the time comes, I want to make money without losing money. ”
Ye Tingyao looked at Yu Pei in a daze, and shook her head slowly.
Lu Tianqi frowned, he thought that Ye Tingyao was going to refuse or look down on him, and was about to force him to accept it, Ye Tingyao raised his hand and grabbed the jade pendant away, holding it tightly in the palm of his hand, "Really give it to me?" Never get it back. ”
"This jade pendant can be exchanged for a restaurant, and when the restaurant opens, the jade pendant will be returned to me." Lu Tianqi saw Ye Tingyao accept it, and his clenched heart suddenly loosened, but his face was still upright, and he deliberately said with disdain that she saw Qian and opened her eyes.
"It's actually worth the money of a restaurant," Ye Tingyao muttered in a low voice, "Don't be in vain, even if you don't want to open a restaurant, Yu Pei can also make a lot of money." ”
Lu Tianqi almost went berserk again, and shouted, "Mo Yao, I warn you, if you dare to take the jade pendant, I will kill you." ”
Ye Tingyao was startled, "So ferocious? Okay, in the future, my pastry shop business will be prosperous, and I will definitely go to the capital to open a branch shop, and then ask you for money to open a restaurant by the way. ”
"Business can come even if it's not booming." Lu Tianqi's lips twitched, and the sound he made was extremely small.
"What?" Ye Tingyao held her ears, she really didn't hear clearly.
Lu Tianqi turned around and left, leaving a dashing back like a breeze in the forest.
Ye Tingyao shrugged and went back to the house to rest.
I thought it was a very ordinary quiet night, but just after I didn't want to have a child, a few black shadows popped out of Lizhuang Village, and where the black shadows passed, a raging fire rose in the blink of an eye, illuminating Lizhuang Village as bright as day......
