Chapter 17 Osmanthus Tea (Part II)
Chapter 16 Osmanthus Tea (Medium)
The Lu family and the Fu family walked side by side in front, and there was a strong mother-in-law who bowed down and walked on the periphery, and there may be two families to escort them in the dark.
The night market is bustling and noisy, with smoke rising from the wooden knot vendors, and the thatched grass that covers the roofs rises into the already dusk sky.
Jiankang is drunk with money, and the excitement of spending a lot of money is here to be heroic and prosperous.
Shi Meng did not have a concubine of the same age as Changting, so the Lu family asked Shi Meng's brother's daughter to accompany Changting, saying that it was to accompany him, but to serve.
Changting never thought of greeting him, and the girl of the Shi family didn't dare to take the lead in speaking, occasionally blocking the crowd for Changting, or introducing it in a very low voice, saying half-literate and half-white, half-official and half-vernacular, Changting actually didn't understand it, but when he saw that the little girl looked very slurred and spitting, she looked very embarrassed, so she endured the conversation, and pretended to listen to her very quietly, but her eyes were hidden in the hat and fluttered.
Changning and Shi Xuan, the two little girls, got along, and they both liked to talk, shrunk behind and walked slowly, Changting looked at Fu's at a glance, but saw her pursed her mouth and didn't speak, looking at Qi's eyes as if she was facing a great enemy, she sighed in her heart, and simply slowed down and followed behind the young sister.
There was no restraint, and then the two little girls whispered, and Changting listened to Changning whispering to Shi Xuan, "How many brothers do you have?" ”
Shi Xuan laughed, and when he smiled, a pair of small pear vortices loomed at the corners of his mouth, very clever little appearance, stretched out three fingers, and did not speak, but looked at Changning with a glittering look in his eyes and smiled.
"Three?"
Shi Xuan pursed his lips and smiled and nodded.
Changning was a little deflated, his eyes drooped downward, and he looked back at the eldest sister.
When he lost than his brother, he came to ask his sister for help
Changting lightly lifted the corner of the hat and beckoned to Changning, "A-Ning, don't go so fast, more deeply exposed, it hurts." ”
Changting didn't spare anyone.
Changning instantly became cheerful, ran with small steps on his shoes, took the eldest sister with one hand, and raised his head and smiled at Shi Xuan, "Ah Xuan, do you have a sister?" ”
Shi Xuan shook his head, looking very envious, "No, there are two girls older than me, but there is no sister." ”
Changning was stunned when he heard it, but Changting understood it all of a sudden.
The northern land is respectful and humble, and the concubine is half master and half servant, not on the family tree, and does not let the children of the concubine call the children of the concubine a brother and sister, in a word, the concubine does not have any name, and the girl's family is already a complete merit with a stack of dowry. This little Langjun, a better family will find an errand for him, and marrying a daughter-in-law is already benevolent and righteous, and a less responsible family is good if it is not raised.
The girl of the Shi family who followed behind the long pavilion buried her head down invisibly, Shi Meng was enlightened alone, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven, and the Shi family pointed to Shi Meng's rich house, and the nature next to it was no different from that of the concubine.
Changning didn't understand, but he cleverly knew not to continue asking, and turned his head with a smile, "Why did you only see your eldest brother?" One said, and the other pointed to the tall man in a green brocade suit who followed Shi Min and asked, "Is he also your brother?" ”
Changting looked in the direction, only to find that Shi Min was followed by the black-robed Langjun who was riding a horse in the middle of the night before.
The wind in the north is strong, the south wind is sudden, the long pavilion is caught off guard, and the corner of the hat will be lifted by the wind, and half of the fan is suddenly lit up.
As soon as Changting raised his head again, the heavy yarn was brushed back, teased in his ears, and as soon as his eyes were raised, he rushed straight to the man in green clothes and met silently.
The man's eyes were like torches, the bridge of his nose was high, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and the whole person seemed to be calm into the soil.
Changting frowned subconsciously, her eyes did not give way, she did not have the habit of letting people, Lu Sui had never taught her.
Coincidentally, after the man was stunned for a moment, he quickly regained his composure and did not let his eyes go.
Just as the wind came again, the half of the heavy gauze cloth that had fallen to the ears fell again, covering the face.
At this point, the man looked away unusually calmly, and the process did not show half of the shame and twisting, which was very natural.
How bold!
Changting was furious in his heart, but he heard Shi Xuan's crisp and nonchalant voice, "He? It's not my brother, his father is bearded. ”
No wonder.
No wonder it looks different from the Han Chinese.
"What about his mother?" Changning wanted to look there, but he was a little scared, his eyes flickered, and his figure leaned towards Changting, "He doesn't look like a beard."
Hu Liang leaned on the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, nomadic background, fierce and indulgent, and coveted the seven states in the northeast of the Great Jin Dynasty for a long time, and had a long grudge, one was like a newborn lion cub, and the other was like an old and sick man, and the Great Jin Dynasty was really not friendly to the Hu people.
"His mother," Shi Xuan stopped talking, his face turned red, he didn't know how to speak, and he thought for a while before saying, "I should call him cousin." ”
His mother was born in the Gang family!?
Changting was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and the Yongzhou Lu family really married their daughter to Hu Ren!? What is the shame of their family! Don't you want to gain a foothold in this world!
Changning didn't have a clear relationship in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Is he called Hu Ren'er?" So how do you live in your house every day? Why don't you go to live with Beard, I heard that Beard sleeps in tents and eats raw meat, what about him? ”
"His father is gone, his mother is gone, and he lives in our house" Shi Xuan said vaguely, the matter involved the grandfather's family, and the little girl also understood that this matter was shameless, so she hurriedly changed her head, pointed forward with her hands playfully, and called loudly, "Mother, Ah Xuan wants to eat osmanthus tea!" ”
The Lu clan stopped, the men in front of him also stopped, and Shi Meng laughed loudly, "This osmanthus tea is not bad, do you want to taste the tea soup and wine in the north, and have a lively meal." ”
The tea shop is placed on the side of the road, the long pavilion looks up, just see that there is an indigo linen cloth hanging tent curtain in front of it, the small shop has no name, only writes the three words of osmanthus tea, there is a high and wide stove next to it, the big copper teapot is on the stove, and the tax hot water is boiling vigorously.
Seeing the people of the Shi family, the old man who burned the tea hurriedly put the burlap that wiped his sweat on his shoulder, trotted forward, and bowed happily and saluted, "The villain greets Master Shi!" Is it tea or wine today? The newly brewed osmanthus wine is stuffy with honey! ”
The men walked back, Lu Sui took the head, Shi Meng followed three steps back, Changying and Shi Min side by side, Changmao and the man in green clothes side by side, and when they approached, Changting buried his head in silence, and the hat covered his entire face tightly.
Lu Xuan walked back, and he was willing to sit down.
Shi Meng's expression raised, suppressed his laughter, and asked loudly, "Does Lu Gong drink tea or eat wine?" If you want to eat wine, the grilled hooves and sauce duck tongue in Jiazifang are good dishes to accompany wine. ”
