Volume 2 Red Face Drunk Chapter 65 The First City of Flowers
Leaving Suizhou is only twenty miles away from Taiping City, and the old Taoist has been talking and laughing for more than a day. Occasionally instructing Lu Yu's swordsmanship, he doesn't look like a noble son at all. Especially Liu Zhixing kept showing off with a sword in his hand, and the old Taoist didn't even look at it. just said helplessly: "A good general, practice your gun." ”
It seems that the old Taoist is omniscient, and he also has a unique attainment for horse guns, and even played a set of spear skills himself. Liu Zhixing, who watched it, was stunned, Liu Zhixing didn't sleep all night, and he never stopped practicing, and he never had the demeanor of an old Taoist. Yulian Xiuwen was still thinking about what the old Taoist said, although the old Taoist said that it was not true. The two were still cranky, especially Xiuwen glanced at Liu Zhixing from time to time. According to all the people of the old Taoist, it seems to be the same as Liu Zhixing.
Yulian was at a loss in her heart that she would fall in love with someone, would that person be Liu Zhixing? As for where that city is, the old Taoist said that the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and there must be a road in front of the road. Wen Xiaoming still has thoughts about this matter, and the master seems to have not spoken so seriously for a long time.
The army is not moving fast, and Liu Zhixing has gone many times in his mind. The old Taoist said that it is the right thing to take care of the body, and it is urgent to practice gunnery for a while. Seeing that he was about to arrive in Taiping City, the old Taoist left the carriage and said that he did not want to enter the sad city.
Liu Zhixing bowed respectfully to the old Taoist and said, "Daoist, you really don't want to charge an extra apprentice. ”
The old Taoist didn't care about this matter at all, took out a book from his arms and said: "Boy, you have a relationship with the old Tao, and I will give you a military book." A quaint book was placed in Liu Zhixing's hand, but the light blue cover did not have a title on it. The yellowed pages of the book looked old, and Liu Zhixing took it with both hands and was about to kneel down to ask for a salute. The old Taoist waved his hand and walked away, without saying another word.
Wen Xiaoming said anxiously: "Sister, I'm leaving, I'll go to Taiping City to play with you after a while." After speaking, he didn't say hello to others again, and hurriedly chased after the old Taoist.
Lu Yu looked at the old Taoist who was far away and said, "Liu Zhixing has received this book, and the gift given by the Huaqing Daoist must not be ordinary. This book of the Unknown Soldier will be of great use to you in the future. ”
Gently stuffed the book of war into his arms and turned over the horse, the happiest person was Gao Xiaolong. That old Taoist is finally gone, and this day is not easy. I don't know who so many people look up to, so a good apprentice doesn't have to let himself serve. It's not a big deal to serve and serve, but it's a bit heavy, and I'm always touching here and where, and you say I'm a big man with something to touch. If it weren't for the fact that he saw the general's dog-legged appearance, Lu Erye would also say that he was a master. Gao Xiaolong couldn't wait to beat the old man, and he also had the identity of a general in saying this.
When the army walked outside Taiping City, only two or two carriages entered, and Gao Xiaolong was arranged to reorganize two hundred sergeants. Only two soldiers drove the carriage, and Liu Zhixing and Zheng Shuixin accompanied Liu Zhixing. You need to enter the palace to hand over the order, otherwise it is a big crime to lead the troops back to Beijing without permission, and the lightest can lose your head and implicate the family.
Liu Zhixing entered the palace for a short time, and everything went smoothly when his father was not in the military department. Zuo Shilang didn't feel embarrassed, and said some words that were okay, meaning that he understood and hurried home to think about how to tide over the difficulties. The emperor knew that Liu Zhixing had not been summoned when he returned to Beijing, and he hoped that Liu Zhixing would come back as late as possible. There is enough time to see that the important ministers of the DPRK are still on the side of the Meng family, and this matter needs to be dealt with. Liu Zhixing is just a small character, and it is important to see how the military department Shangshu will deal with this matter.
Hurriedly left the palace and rushed to the house, but did not see Yulian Xiuwen, and even Lu Yu did not appear. It was only when I saw the two soldiers who were driving the car, and after asking, I learned that the three of them left before they arrived in Lufu. said that when he returned to Liu's house to visit at dusk, Liu Zhixing had to change his clothes and lie on the bed.
Xia Er, a comfortable maid who was not lying down, hurriedly ran in, grabbed the door and shouted, "The second master is here." ”
Frightened, Liu Zhixing dared to get up, and Liu Ce was already standing at the door, looking stern. Waving her hand, Xia Er had no choice but to leave, blinking as if to say that the master was in a bad mood, be careful not to cause unpleasantness.
Liu Zhixing stood straight like a child who had made a mistake waiting for training, Liu Ce sat on the stool and watched Xia Er leave the room with a closed door, slammed the table and shouted, "I know what went wrong." ”
In the face of a stern father, Liu Zhixing has always been the first to admit his mistakes no matter what is wrong, and now he has the courage to say softly: "The child doesn't know what he did wrong." ”
"Say it again." Liu Zhixing trembled in fright, straightened his waist and said solemnly: "The child doesn't know what's wrong, please make it clear to my father." ”
Liu Ce's eyes were much gentler, and he motioned for Liu Zhixing to sit down. Seeing that his father was much gentler, he still didn't dare to sit down, until Liu Ce said fiercely. Waiting for his father to reprimand, he didn't expect Liu Ce to say: "Fortunately, use your brain before doing something next time, don't do it as soon as your head is hot." This time, Your Majesty will support you, and next time. Remember that if you can not move the royal affairs, your majesty will throw you out when necessary, and your life is not wanted. ”
Lowering his head and not daring to speak, Liu Ce reached out and touched Liu Zhixing's injured left shoulder and said, "Don't act so recklessly next time, just pretend to be confused about what Your Majesty has not decreed." The court is not so peaceful, and the emperor sometimes can't help himself, so you stand up to meet the minds of many people. There should be a will to summon you to the palace tomorrow, so rest well today. If you can't speak, don't speak, some people care about it. ”
There are two more beautiful girls on the streets of Taipingcheng, and Lu Yu walked in front for fear that the two younger sisters would get lost. They are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, how can they have so many concerns, but when they think of Xiuwen studying in the store, there will always be many men who come to buy rouge spices. You said that where did a big man use so many spices, he always came a lot of times.
Yulian often went to the wine shop and was chased up to ask if it was the little lady, and even the young man with a solid family background asked the matchmaker to ask for marriage. The first time I came to this unfamiliar city, I was really a little uneasy. I need to give Liu Zhixing some time to deal with some things, and I don't want something unwarranted to happen after living in Liu's house.
Walking in the bustling streets, there are high-rise shops everywhere, and the West Market can be described as the most prosperous commercial market. Half of the restaurants in Taiping are in this area, and Dongshi must be a little weaker. However, the rich boy prefers to go to the East Market, and the restaurants and Qinglou gambling houses are almost all in the East Market. Lu Yu took his two younger sisters to the West Market to look for a well-located shop. The Lujia Distillery has a lot of reputation in less than a year, but if you want to push it to the whole Liang, money is no longer possible.
What is needed is fame, and Taiping City has the name of the first city in the world. It is not because of the imperial capital of Daliang, but also the economic center of a country. Every year, there are many merchants from all over the world, and even the merchants of Chu are not a few. This trip is also just a good time to distract from the heart, especially the hunger pimple in the hearts of the two younger sisters has never been put down.
Watching the two girls look around, there was no bitter screaming on the way to the West Market. Before, I was still saying that Taiping City is really big, and I haven't reached it after walking so far. I had to take two breaks after walking down a street, but now that I've been walking for a long time, I don't feel tired at all. Although Lu Yu, who has practiced martial arts for many years, is not tired, he is tired.
I haven't accompanied a woman to go shopping for many years, and the last time I accompanied my wife was five years ago. After getting married, when I talk about going shopping, I always excuse myself with something, and my wife has said it more than once. It's an old woman who tricks me into it, she doesn't care at all, and she doesn't accompany her shopping. Lu Yu could only smile bitterly every time, but fortunately, he was much more relaxed after having a child.
I am very happy about the two sisters who reached out to ask for money, and I have never taken the initiative to ask for money at home. Since he is a disciple of his mother, he is a member of the Lu family, and which of his father's several personal disciples is not treated by the young master at home. I can't change when I get to my mother's parents, especially the Lu family's yang qi is too heavy. This year, there are two little sisters, and it is a little more lively.
Yulian holds a large bag of small packets of food, as long as she has never seen it, she has to wrap a pack. Xiuwen has already walked out of several spice shops, and the big push of bottles and cans is still interested. The most terrifying thing is that the two of them don't know when they have bought several new clothes, and their hands seem to have a thousand pounds.
Lu Yu shook his head and lifted the things in his hand heavily, remembering that his wife felt heavy even when he had a jar of wine. Holding more than 30 pounds of things in his hand like catching a chicken, I feel ridiculous when I think about it. Xiuwen Yulian, who had just laid down her hands, directly snatched the money bag from Lu Yu's waist, and from time to time she had already pushed something again.
Suddenly, a casually dressed man directly hit Xiuwen, but before he left, Lu Yu had already blocked in front of him and said, "Brother Tai, don't be too greedy." ”
The man in his thirties said viciously: "I don't understand what you're talking about, get out of the way, delay Lao Tzu's big event and kill you." ”
The crowd around watched but did not speak, and it could be seen that the three people were strangers. There was always a group of bullies in the city who specialized in bullying outsiders, and Yulian reacted to find that the sachet on her body was gone, and even the jade pendant was gone. Xiuwen's money bag was also gone, and he walked to Lu Yu's side and looked at the man. Knowing that it was this one who took the money bag, Xiuwen said: "You are a thief. ”
Xiuwen even stood behind Lu Yu and begged the man, and the man looked unwilling. For many years, few people in the West City have taken the money of outsiders, and at most they will sue the official uniform. Every time, only those who see it will do it, the locals in Taiping Chen will not make a move, and the poor people will not make a move. Only these seem to be rich young ladies and young ladies who are stupid and lose a lot of money, and they don't care too much. When I found it, I didn't know who stole it, and it was insurance.
The man kept wanting to leave Lu Yu and refused to let him, but suddenly several men broke in and wanted to pull. Lu Yu didn't even put down his belongings with disdain, and put them on everyone with a few feet. He kicked the man on the ground and said, "Take out the things." ”
Staring at Lu Yu, he had to take out the three money bags from his arms, and Yulian said, "And my jade pendant." ”
Lu Yu grabbed the man back and took out the jade pendant to Yulian, and several people walked a few steps and turned around and shouted: "You wait, I will kill you in Taiping City." "As everyone knows, a young man with a folding fan is followed by several evil servants, and several men are caught in the alley.
Brother Gongzi asked: "You are not afraid to come out and steal, but you don't want it." ”
Several people immediately knelt down and said, "Uncle, didn't you see the itchy hands of strangers, and I didn't control it for a while." ”
The brocade-clothed boy folded his fan and slapped it heavily on the head of the man in charge and said, "Tell the truth." ”
"It's not that all the money is lost, it's all about getting some money to spend."
Brother Gongzi didn't think about it and said: "Keep an eye on those two women for this son, and report it immediately next time you meet it." Your benefits are indispensable. The men nodded one after another, looked up and said, "Who will I look for then?" ”
The fan pointed to the gentle man, walked out of the alley and said, "I haven't seen such a pleasant woman in Taiping City for a long time, and there are two of them." ”
Although the money was stolen, Yulian Xiuwen had no interest in shopping, and Lu Yu couldn't ask for it. I will never go shopping with my two sisters next time. Women in the world generally hate it, and they don't care about this hard-working brother at all.
Walking in Nuo Taiping City, there are crowds of people everywhere, as if every day is a festival. The business travel is endless, and Yulian has only one word for Taiping City, and that is "big". Xiuwen likes this city even more, as if he forgot that his second brother was unhappy to follow behind. It's not easy to be empty-handed, but Lu Yu said that there was suffering.
