Chapter 3: Early Cold (Part I)

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange. Neither side deliberately mentioned their respective identities, but neither side knew what to say to get rid of the embarrassment at the moment. The invisible chasm was instantly exposed, and no matter how much you try to cover it up, you can't deny its existence.

After all, she is a veteran who travels all day long between dignitaries and dignitaries, and Mrs. Qiu Guo recovered faster than Lei Wanchun, took a sip of wine with a smile, and led the topic elsewhere in a low voice, "The concubine heard that the eldest brother chased and killed the gangsters for more than 3,000 miles back then, and then the bitter lord was willing to promise each other, but the eldest brother only took an egg from her hand, is this true?" ”

"That's a further thing!" Lei Wanchun couldn't wait to divert the topic, and said with a smile, "It's been almost twenty years, I can't imagine that someone will mention it!" ”

"Can you tell me? I'm just curious! Mrs. Yu Guo lowered her neck and poured a glass of wine for Lei Wanchun with a smile. Then he refilled the wine cup in front of him and raised it with a smile.

"That's in the Kaiyuan period!" Lei Wanchun raised his glass slightly to thank the hostess, and then took a big sip, "I passed by Yixian County that year and saw a little girl kowtowing at the yamen. The corners of his forehead were bleeding, but the officials refused to pay attention to him. I was angry for a while, so I stepped forward to help with the theory. But the officials said that it was none of their business. The murderer has already gone to Broken Leaves, and the magistrate has also issued a sea fishing document. But the government over there can't accept this case, when can the murderer be escorted back, and there is nothing his family can do! ”

"I'm afraid it's a coping word, right?" Mrs. Qiu's eyes were very keen, and she broke through the mystery in one sentence.

"Isn't it?" Lei Wanchun shook his head and replied with a wry smile. "I was wondering. After inquiring in private, it turned out that the whole thing was not what the officials said at all. The so-called whip is beyond the reach of the commander, and it is clear that the officials and lords make up excuses. In fact, it was the official who protected the shortcomings, deliberately let go of the murderer, and then used the distance to deal with the bitter master! ”

"It's too much. Is there no one else in the little girl's house? Won't go to the state capital and sue them for dereliction of duty? When she forgot her current identity, Mrs. Yu Guo soon became Yang Yuyao again, her eyes flickering, as if she was hiding countless curiosities.

"It's gone. That's what the officials bully. The little girl was very good-looking, and she was also a flower in the local area. Seeing this, the gangsters secretly climbed over the wall and entered her house in the middle of the night to plot misdeeds. She woke up and called for help, and Grandpa, Auntie and her brother rushed to fight with the gangsters, but they were all killed on the spot by the gangsters with knives. The little girl herself was stabbed in the stomach and was seriously injured. The gangster mistakenly thought she was dead and swaggered home. The neighbors came the next morning to borrow salt and rescued her from the ghost gate. Regardless of her injuries, she begged to be carried to the yamen to complain. As a result, the county magistrate sent more than 40 officials and helpers before and after, but they failed to catch the suspect. Half a year later, the little girl recovered from her injuries, and the suspected murderer is still at large. Someone was angry and secretly told her that it was the suspect's family who spent money to buy the head catcher, which led to this result. She was unwilling, so she asked people to write a complaint and go to the government office again to shout grievances, but the government government put the case back on the county. It turned out that the magistrate was in charge of handling the case, because the evidence was conclusive, and he couldn't shirk it, so he came up with such a trick, letting the suspect run thousands of miles away first, and then prevaricating with the excuse that the jurisdiction was beyond the reach of the whip! ”

"Dog officer! Big brother should have killed him on the spot! Yang Yuyao was indignant and scolded in a low voice.

"Then I'll be a rebel!" Lei Wanchun laughed, as if he admired Yang Yuyao's indignation, "Besides, that dog official still has a bit of a conscience, and he didn't do things perfectly." Since he issued a sea arrest document, anyone who sees a suspect can arrest him. I'm afraid that the little girl will have no way to ask for help, and she will cause some more trouble. I patted my chest and promised that I would take care of this matter. Then he uncovered the sea fishing documents near the county government and went to the Western Regions. It turned out to be a coincidence, and I happened to meet a suspect in a grocery store in Broken Leaf City. He was working as a young man over there, and I took out the sea fishing paperwork and told him that the case had been solved, and asked him to come with me. He took the knife and fought with me. I'm worried about how to bring him back, and since he used the knife on the spot, I don't have to go into such trouble. snatched the knife and put him over, cut off his head and went to the yamen to report the case. ”

The local officials over there were also too lazy to do much, so they ordered someone to pickle the head of the suspected murderer in lime and put it in a box. I was ordered to take it back to Hebei. So I turned around and went back to Yi County, and this time I ran for eleven months! ”

"When I returned to Yi County, the county magistrate saw the official documents on human heads and broken leaves, so he had to knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach. He rewarded me with three copper coins and sent me away. Anyway, the suspect is dead, and the county magistrate doesn't have to do any favors, so he uses waste and hangs his head on the city wall, which is counted as a political achievement in his tenure. ”

These old things, he said without adding any exaggerated ingredients, but in Yang Yuyao's ears, they were more thrilling than those rumors of adding oil and vinegar. It wasn't until the whole story was finished that he patted his chest and praised in a low voice: "In the end, it's the big brother, the martial arts are high enough." Otherwise, thousands of roads will run down, and the bumps on the back of the bare horse will also break people up. ”

"Hey, I'm used to sleeping in the open. The last thing to fear is horseback riding! Lei Wanchun took another big sip of wine and explained in a low voice.

"And then the little girl is going to make a promise?" Yang Yuyao smiled and accompanied, still unable to satisfy the curiosity in her heart.

Lei Wanchun shook his head with a smile, "It can't be regarded as a personal promise." She has seen a lot of warmth and coldness in her past year, and I am afraid that she has long despaired of revenge. So when I saw that I could actually do what I said, I was impulsive......."

"Then why didn't the eldest brother marry her?" The slate was already burned red, and Yang Yuyao cut the deer leg into slices and put them on one by one. With the help of the heat storage of the slate, the venison is roasted.

It's a lot of work. The flesh had not yet been fully cooked by the slate, and her face was already flushed with heat. Lei Wanchun couldn't help, so he had to smile and continue to satisfy her curiosity. "I was young at the time, and I always wanted to be alone in the world, and I didn't want to be burdened by my family. Besides, I've never seen her before, because I did someone a favor, and I asked someone to make a promise. Isn't that tantamount to taking advantage of others' danger? ”

"That's different!" Yang Yuyao shook her head lightly, and picked up the hot deer legs one by one to Lei Wanchun, "It's someone else's unwillingness to take advantage of people's danger." And that little girl is willing to marry you! Eat it while it's hot, it's cold and it won't taste good! ”

"You can eat a little too!" Lei Wanchun smiled humbly, and unconsciously carried a little pity in his tone, "Look at your hot, you have become like this." If I eat alone, I really can't go! ”

"I have a weak appetite!" Yang Yuyao smiled, her flushed face was like a blooming peony. "Big brother eat, I'll help you pour wine."

With that, he filled the two of them with wine, picked up one of them, and put it to his lips and sipped it gently.

Lei Wanchun couldn't help her, so he had to eat it himself. The meat of the deer leg is tender but not greasy, and with the same Lanling wine as yesterday, it is simply made in heaven. I don't know if it's because the wine is too strong, or if the charcoal basin is too hot, and after drinking, the faces of the two slowly turn into the same color.

"Is that woman very pretty?" Yang Yuyao's eyes opened slightly, looking at the bulging muscles under Lei Wanchun's chest like axes and stone carvings, and asked in an extremely slow voice.

"Hmmm! This ......." question was really a bit abrupt, Lei Wanchun thought for a while before scratching the back of his neck and replied curtly, "To be honest, I can't remember what she looks like for a long time!" Maybe it's beautiful, it should be beautiful! ”

"How about comparing with the little sister?" Yang Yuyao quickly glanced at Lei Wanchun, and quickly looked away, looking at the wine in the cup stupidly.

"No, I don't know!" Lei Wanchun was already a little drunk, thought about it, and replied with a smile. "Not compared. It should be inferior! ”

"Really?" She asked deliberately.

"Really!" He nodded solemnly, thought for a moment, and added in a daze: "To be honest, you are the most beautiful woman I have seen in all these years!" ”

The speaker didn't think it was bold. But when the listener heard it, his face became more and more ruddy. As if suddenly shy, Yang Yuyao touched her face, then raised her head, blinked her bright eyes and asked: "Big brother thinks, my outfit that day is better, or is it better to dress today!" ”

"It's all good-looking!" Lei Wanchun responded frankly, and then quickly added, "Actually, you shouldn't ask me, I've never been very good at clothing and accessories!" ”

"Haven't you heard of the eldest brother saying that women are allowed to please themselves?" Yang Yuyao leaned forward again, her eyes flickering, revealing an ocean.

"Ahh Lei Wanchun finally seemed to have pondered a little taste, patted his head hard, and responded with a smile, "I haven't read a book for a few days, where would I know so many ancient sayings." Moreover, the words of the ancients may not be all right. How you dress up, as long as you are happy, why care what others think. If a woman always lives for others, wouldn't this life be boring? ”

Unexpectedly, the seemingly rough Lei Wanchun could come out of his mouth with such thought-provoking words, Yang Yuyao paused for a moment, and her eyes suddenly returned to clarity. Looking at Lei Wanchun, who was grinning, she suddenly felt a little lost again, so she raised the wine cup again and invited with a smile, "Another drink, it's rare for big brother to come to me once!"

"Don't drink too much!" Lei Wanchun raised his lamp to accompany him, and then dissuaded with a smile, "I've drunk enough." Don't drink too much. Although the entrance of this Lanling wine is soft, the stamina is much more than that of ordinary wine! ”

"Big brother knows the origin of this wine?" Hearing this, Yang Yuyao was slightly stunned and asked with a smile.

"I just drank with Li Bai and a few of them yesterday. It was brought from home by the two brothers of the Qin family. Lei Wanchun nodded and answered truthfully, "Li Bai also wrote a poem for this wine, what is it, Lanling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light." But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is. I don't know if it's good or not, but everyone admires it very much! Well, I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality. Your barbecue skills are the best I've ever seen! ”

With that, he slowly stood up. Prepare to say goodbye. Yang Yuyao hurriedly got up to send him off, but he sat for too long, his legs and feet were numb, and his body swayed and fell to the ground.

Lei Wanchun's hand was quick, and he hurriedly took half a step forward, stretched out an arm, and picked Yang Yuhuan up. "Haha, you've drunk too much. As I said, this is a great drink. But it's okay, go back and drink a few bowls of strong tea, and you can get rid of it! ”

The maidservant at the door tried to get close to help, but was glared back by Xiangyin with a fierce gaze. With three points of wine, Yang Yuyao shook a few steps, but her body involuntarily fell back, "Does the eldest brother also like Li Bai's poems?" Actually, the girl likes it too. ”

"Li Bai's poems, I'm afraid few people won't like them!" Lei Wanchun wanted to find a helper to hand over Yang Yuyao, but his eyes turned around, but he found that the maidservants were busy cleaning up the charcoal basin and venison, and no one paid attention to him at all. I had to steady Yang Yuyao's soft body and answer with a smile.

"Which one is my favorite big brother?" Yang Yuyao turned her head slowly, her starry eyes were closed, and her cherry mouth was slightly open.

Lei Wanchun's heart suddenly shuddered, and he finally remembered the Haikou he boasted in front of Zhang Xun, settled down, and replied with a smile, "I'm a rough person, what poetry do I know." Forget it, turn around and forget! ”

"Then does the eldest brother know which one the little sister likes?" Yang Yuyao seemed to be drunk into mud, and her body was comfortably attached to the crook of Lei Wanchun's arm, with no intention of moving away.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and Lei Wanchun laughed, "What you like, I'm afraid it's that sentence, 'I'm drunk and sleepy, and go', right." Hurry up and call someone down, you've really drunk too much today! ”

"Big brother guessed wrong! My favorite sentence at the moment is another one. Yang Yuyao shook her head with a smile, opened her eyes slightly, her gaze was as gentle as wine, "'The tortoiseshell is drunk in his arms, and the hibiscus tent is at the bottom of the Naijun?'"
