Chapter 0060: Blossoming Day (1st Shift)
In less than a day, Qianlong has arrived in five years. This morning, Jinxiulan up and down, big and small, is full of new clothes, new hats and new shoes. The red lanterns are hung high, and the colorful noodles are placed in layers. It's just a lively scene!
As soon as the time passed, the firecrackers of Jinxiulan crackled and did not break, and the sound of firecrackers made the son not sleep well all night. Just after the fourth watch, Hongcui began to comb her hair and dress up very pretty. At the fifth watch, the son also got up to change clothes. After Hongcui waited for the son to freshen up, she had just entered a bowl of bird's nest and red date porridge, and the door was surrounded by four guards.
Randie shouted first: "Randie asks for peace to the son, and begs the son to give some reward." ”
Hongcui pursed her lips and scolded at the door: "You are embarrassed to ask for a reward?" Who stole the boy chicken I stewed for my son every night? It's good that Childe didn't ask you to lose money. ”
The son waved his hand and said to Hongcui: "For the New Year, don't talk about it, quickly give them a reward and make a fortune." ”
Hongcui agreed, took some loose silver from the cabinet prepared earlier, and brought it over, and the four guards thanked him and withdrew. As soon as the four guards left, the leader of the noble leader came in and kowtowed, and the prince still ordered Hongcui to give a reward. Then another group of servants came in to greet the son, but Hongcui didn't say anything more, and went out to give a reward with the silver according to the custom of the Jingshi.
After two shifts of effort, Childe stood up and twisted his stiff back and said, "Bring me some snacks to eat." ”
Hongcui promised one, and quickly went out and brought in a plate of red bean crisp, mung bean cake, and steamed cake. Childe pinched a piece of steamed cake and chewed it slowly, lowered his head and thought, Uncle Li has no news again. It's weird.
Hongcui saw that Gongzi just buried his head in contemplation and thought about it. smiled: "Childe is thinking about 'kissing brother'?" Yesterday, I heard from the picture screen that the young master of the Luo family is here again. Calling 'love brother' to the son, what about the 'love brother' but 'love brother'? ”
Childe almost choked on a piece of cake when he didn't go down. Hongcui hurriedly poured a cup of tea for her son. A little more agreeable, Childe put the steamed cake on the table, slapped it over and scolded: "If it's okay, you will chew the root of your tongue, be careful that one day you really annoy me and let Dark Xiang cut your tongue." ”
Hongcui dodged behind the son, and said: "What does Xiao Gege say, I'm not afraid of dark incense, it's too late to like him." Before cutting my tongue though. I'm going to sue my brother, saying that the brother is not a brother, but what kind of fake son-in-law, what should I do if I look at Xiao Gege? At that time, I think my brother will love my sister? ”
After all, Childe is a girl, although she likes to read military books since she was a child, and her joy and anger are invisible, but she is still embarrassed by this kind of children's private feelings. At this time, annoyance is not either. I was not annoyed, so I had to scold Hongcui and said: "I see that I have spoiled you in the past few days, and if you blindly talk nonsense, I don't need you to serve." Let Gallery come in. ”
Seeing that Childe's face was not very good, Hongcui saw that the wind was making the rudder, walked to the front from behind Childe and said with a smile: "Childe can spare Hongcui." If she doesn't accompany her son at night, Hongcui can't sleep. The girl on the screen is good. But how can there be Hongcui to serve thoughtfully? Do you say, my little boy? ”
Childe whispered, "Quickly accept your flattery." Who's your little boy? ”
Hongcui was about to answer yes, but she heard the painting screen outside the door and said: "Old man Dong, a servant of Li Yulin's family, arrived, and said that he would ask for peace to his son, and he would have something important to return." ”
Gongzi said in his heart, thinking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, but I don't know what important things he has to return. Thinking so, Childe still sat firmly on the stool and said slowly, "Please let him in." ”
Old man Dong is an old servant of Li Yulin's family, Li Yulin has been in prison for 20 years, and Old Man Dong has been guarding outside for 20 years, and he has never married a wife and had children. A few years ago, I finally looked forward to the young master coming out of prison and followed the young master back to his hometown to live. It is said that he should accompany his master at this time, and there is no need to send an old man to invite An.
Old man Dong walked in tremblingly, knelt on the ground with a pop, kowtowed several times to Gongzi, and said straightly: "The old slave thanked Gongzi for saving his life!" The old slave also greets the son! ”
Although Gongzi couldn't get up, he made Hongcui help him up with his eyes, and said: "What did Uncle Dong say, Uncle Li has always been good friends with his father, if Qing raises his hand, what do you talk about saving lives or not?" Hongcui, please get up and sit down. ”
Hongcui picked up the old man Dong and helped him sit down on a chair at the bottom. Hongcui saw that he was in the dust, and seemed to have not rested for a few days and nights, and asked, "What is the uncle in a hurry?" Grab a snack and a hot cup of tea to warm up. ”
Old man Dong didn't care about drinking tea and eating snacks, and with trembling hands, he groped out a secret letter from his arms, handed it to Hongcui, and said, "This is what my young master ordered to hand over to my son." The young master explained, he must have seen the son with his own eyes, and handed it over to the son himself. ”
Hongcui handed the secret letter to Childe, but Childe did not immediately open it and look at it, but asked, "Uncle Li said that there is anything written in the letter?" ”
Old man Dong replied: "The young master of my family only said that the letter is very important, as long as it is handed over to the son, the son will understand it when he sees it." Because of this letter, the young master of my family was targeted in Zhangde Mansion. The young master of my family is not at ease when other people send letters because secret letters are very important, so they send old slaves to send them. Now that the letter has been handed over to Gongzi, the old slave has to rush back to Zhangde Mansion, the old slave is really afraid, afraid ~~~" Saying that, the old man Dong couldn't cry anymore, and the old man was in tears.
Seeing this situation, Li Yulin is afraid that there will be more luck than lucky. Childe thought to himself, who dared to harm Li Yulin again and again? Besides, although Li Yulin was rescued, although it cannot be said that the secrets are abnormal, it can be regarded as a secret, so many prisoners have escaped from prison, why would this person only target Li Yulin? This is a very strange thing, and I'm afraid only MeSign can solve the riddle. Childe used a portable knife to scrape the fire paint on the envelope and open the letter.
Hongcui is illiterate, and when she looks at her words and looks at the look on her son's face, she knows that things are very strict. After Childe finished reading the letter and put it aside, she asked carefully, "What's the matter?" Could it be that they were robbed by local bandits? ”
Gongzi's expression was solemn, and he instructed Hongcui: "Please invite Old Man Dong to go down for dinner." After the old man had eaten, he quickly accompanied the old man south to Zhangde Mansion. If there is anything to Uncle Li, let him do his best. ”
Hongcui replied yes, and then left in a hurry with Old Man Dong. This side sent away the red cui, and the drunken spring came to say goodbye again. Gongzi explained the matter in detail again, and instructed him to escort Li Yulin and properly arrange their group.
After I was busy with this, it was lunchtime. Childe began to eat a bowl of porridge and a piece of steamed cake in the morning, and he was already hungry. Childe instructed Hongcui that although it was the first day of junior high school, she didn't like it very much, so she would eat it alone in the house. Hongcui knew that Gongzi had something on her mind, so she could only set up a table in the house and pick up all the food that Gongzi liked to eat.
Lunch was accompanied by Hongcui, the son did not drink, Hongcui did not drink wine, and he had to drink more than a pot. As soon as I drank to the end of the fun, I listened to the painting screen outside the door and said: "Go back to Gongzi, what Zhang Yushi is visiting, please meet Gongzi." ”
Hongcui snorted: "The picture screen is also a stupid girl, and she can't pass a word." What Zhang Yushi, it's obviously Zhang Yushi. But what is Zhang Yushi doing at this time? I think it's clear that I'm here to eat white food. He is the master who eats enough alone, and the whole family is not hungry, relying on his own homelessness and mother-in-law, he comes to our house all day long to eat, and he hates it very much. ”
Childe didn't say anything, and instructed the painting screen: "Set up a table in the small study, please wait in Zhang Yushi's small study, and I'll go over." ”
The picture screen promised yes, and then went down to make arrangements. Childe said to Hongcui again: "You have a good time here, I'll go to the small study to deal with him." It's all guests, and we can't take them out. Besides, Zhang Yushi is upright, but he is the person we need. ”
Hongcui pursed her lips and got up to wait for her son to change his clothes and leave the room.
This imperial history is named Zhang Jixian, who has just turned 20 years old this year, and is a new jinshi in the fourth year of Qianlong. Although Zhang Yushi was an official of the imperial court, his monthly silver was not enough for him to go to the street to drink wine. The New Year is approaching, he exchanged an inkstone for dozens of wine money in the pawnshop on the 30th of Ai's house, and was about to find a wine shop to drink some wine, but unfortunately he met the dark fragrance at the pawnshop. He and Dark Fragrance can talk very well, and after being introduced by Dark Fragrance, he met Ai Gongzi, the owner of Splendid Lan. Since then, Jinxiulan has become a frequent place for him.
Zhang Yushi has a bold temperament and does not stick to things. When Childe came in, he was already pouring himself a drink. When he saw his son, he got up and saluted: "Forgive my brother, I am rude, the host did not come, and the guests have already eaten." I think Childe is a noble and elegant person, so he won't bother with a rough person like me, right? ”
Gongzi asked Zhang Yushi to continue to sit down and said, "Where is Zhang Yushi, what kind of rough person is he?" Zhang Yushi's examination article, Ruoqing has also read it, it is written about a ball of splendor, sprinkled with flowers, Ruoqing admires it tightly. ”
Zhang Yushi poured himself a drink and said: "Knowing that the son is not good at drinking, Jixian will not be polite, just drink it yourself." is not afraid of the jokes of the son, if Jixian didn't have nothing to eat during the festival, he wouldn't come to Jinxiulan to beg for food. ”
Childe replied, "Zhang Yushi is polite. If Yushi doesn't mind, the door of Jinxiulan is open for Yushi at any time. ”
Zhang Yushi drank two glasses of wine, and the wine came up, and his face turned red. He got up, and his burly figure was more than a head taller than Childe. He strode around the room and said eloquently: "Thinking about the temple test that day, I saw the current saint, who is also a young and wise lord. ”
Gongzi said in his heart, thinking that Qianlong, he should be his cousin, I don't know what he looks like? Uncle Yongzheng Emperor Yongzheng is fierce, where can he be wise? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have all the flavors in my heart, but I didn't bring out any color on my face.
Childe replied: "Ruoqing is just a small people, how can she compare with the imperial history to see the face of the sky?" Zhang Yushi said that he was wise, so he should be wise. ”
Somehow, Zhang Yushi smashed his fist on the table, and the cup and cup on the table jumped twice, but fortunately he didn't have much strength and the thing didn't break. (To be continued......)
