Chapter 106 Teacup
When I walked out of the alley and came to the royal street, in the gray sky of the early morning, with some chirping birds chirping in the air, a horse-drawn carriage had been quietly parked on the side of the road, and most of the people came and went were some waterwheels and vendors, or horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, etc., which were ready to go out of the city.
In the quiet, peaceful and vibrant morning, some shops that got up early have also opened for business, and the busyness of the day begins at this moment, until the third watch in the middle of the night, the whole Lin'an City will be restored to such a peaceful situation as it is now in the early morning.
Day by day, time is so silently passing through everyone's life, or leaving joys and sorrows, or branding wonderful loneliness.
The handlebar on the wheel was replaced by Li Heng, and the old Liu Tou kept rubbing his head on the side, looking at his eyes that were a little red, obviously after he left yesterday, he and Lu Zhong and the others did not drink less.
The third aunt's tavern, which should not have opened so early, suddenly removed the door panel of the tavern under the action of the guy, and the third aunt walked out of it with a high spirit, twisted her plump waist to look this way, and then walked to the back of the box.
"What are you...... How much did they pit Lu Zhong yesterday? Ye Qing stroked her chin, looking at the back of the third aunt who twisted her waist and sent her hips, and the charm was still there, obviously yesterday's business was good, so the third aunt went out today to meet Lao Liu Tou for the first time.
Lao Liu Tou lowered his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "The third aunt has a backlog of wine that can't be sold for nearly half a year, and she drank it yesterday, do you think she can be unhappy?" ”
"So what the hell I'm drinking in the back isn't a fake bar?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Lao Liu Tou with disdain.
"How can it, what I drank after yesterday was the best and most expensive wine in the tavern, how could it be fake." Old Liu Tou had a serious face and hurriedly corrected Ye Qing.
"At the end of yesterday, you just gave them cold water, and they couldn't drink it." remembered that when he was about to leave yesterday, when he walked to the counter to pay the bill, Lu Zhong and Wu Gui were about to cry, saying that paying the bill by themselves would be tantamount to asking for their lives.
In the end, Ye Qing could only touch the one or two pieces of silver that Bai Chun gave that day, and then went home steadily.
After all, Ye Qing also knew that if he really wanted to pay the bill yesterday, he would have to owe the third aunt at that time, and those wines and dishes, no matter how they were combined, would not be something that could be consumed for one or two silver.
Zhao Qi'er and Po Li San just saluted Ye Qing quietly, before the matter was clarified, the relationship between their superiors and subordinates was still the relationship between the head of the forbidden army and the non-commissioned officers of the forbidden army.
After getting into the carriage, there was no sound in the carriage for a long time, and it was not until about halfway through the journey that the little girl quietly opened the curtain and poked her head out, holding a piece of delicate snacks in her hand: "Miss gave it to you." ”
"I've eaten in the morning, no sweets." Ye Qing turned his head and glanced at the dim sum in You'er's little hand, and said with a smile.
"Mademoiselle gave it to you." You'er whispered seriously again.
"Do you have to eat it?"
You'er nodded like pounding garlic, stretched out her hand and looked at Ye Qing with a hopeful face.
So I had to take a look behind the curtain of the car, and Yan Chengcheng, who couldn't really see it, picked up the dim sum in You'er's hand and put it directly into his mouth.
"How's it going? Isn't it delicious? ”
"It's okay, it's delicious, it's just too sweet, you made it."
“……。” As soon as You'er opened her mouth, before she could speak, her little head was pulled in by the young lady inside.
Ye Qing looked at the window with rippling curtains, listened to You'er let out an ouch sound from inside, smiled and didn't speak again.
The carriage stopped at the door of the workshop, and Yan Tingcheng, who had not spoken all the way, walked out of the car, but he did not talk to Ye Qing along the way, until Ye Qing and the shopkeeper Wei explained all the matters, and watched the shopkeeper Wei and a few guys carefully together, and after starting to dye according to Ye Qing's steps, Yan Qingcheng was interested in talking.
Taking advantage of the completion of the dyeing of the fabric, Yan Qingcheng and Ye Qing sat in the small pavilion in the courtyard, and the new materials that had not been picked up yesterday on their heads blocked the rising morning light, making the small courtyard, which was not very bright, look a little gloomy.
"That's it?" Yan Qingcheng had some worries between his brows, and lowered his head to make tea with his own hands.
"It should be about the same, Shopkeeper Wei knows a lot, he mentioned some precautions to me a few days ago, and then he also joined the method he said, there should be no problem." Ye Qing didn't wait for Yan Qingcheng to hand over the tea, so he took the initiative to bring it over.
Yan Qingcheng frowned again, watched Ye Qing take away a cup of tea without hesitation, and after snorting lightly, he didn't speak, but when Ye Qing put the tea to his mouth, he shifted his gaze with a somewhat strange expression.
"How can you have such a big grudge with Fan Niande? Why did he target you so much yesterday? Yan Qingcheng lowered his head and put another teacup next to him and asked.
"Bai Chun didn't tell you yesterday, or didn't you ask her?" Ye Qing was a little surprised, the two of them were still sitting in the same carriage yesterday, didn't they talk to each other?
"I didn't say or ask." Yan Tingcheng nodded and said.
So Ye Qing drank tea, and while waiting for new ingredients, he told the gap between Dangdang and Fan Niande, which naturally would not be mixed with personal feelings, after all, in his opinion, even if he stood on an objective standpoint, Fan Niande did not take advantage of it.
It's just that after Yan Tingcheng listened, the hidden worry on his brows became heavier, he looked at the tea in front of him and sighed, his eyebrows were picturesque, and I said pitifully: "Fan Niande is also a businessman and a Confucian, and he has always been a person that my father is extremely afraid of. ”
"You didn't provoke him, what are you afraid of? And what can he do with me now? Ye Qing spread his hands innocently.
In the past, he was a small forbidden army, and he didn't have a problem with himself, but now that he is about to leave, he will become the deputy commander, so he is not afraid of this Fan Niande, who is also a businessman and a Confucian.
"When I went out today, I heard them talk about it at the gate of the mansion, and I knew that you had been promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division." Yan Tingcheng's eyes were a little sad.
"Then you're going to fool me with a piece of pastry? That's ...... attitude. ”
"Whoever fooled you, people ......." Yan Tingcheng found that his tone was getting younger and younger in front of Ye Qing, and there were more and more signs of coquettishness, so he hurriedly shut up, and then paused and said, "Do you think you are really running from time to time?" Fan Niande can have such prestige in Lin'an, in addition to himself being a businessman and a Confucian, most of the friends he makes on weekdays are the powerful and wealthy families in Lin'an, even in the Imperial City Division, he has many acquaintances! ”
Seeing that Ye Qing was still drinking tea leisurely, with a calm and breezy look on his face, as if what he just said was taken by him as a deaf ear.
Fang Xin couldn't help but feel a little angry, she was so worried about him, he could still be like a nobody!
"Do you know what it means to be someone in the Imperial City Division? It means that after you pass, I don't know if Fan Niande will secretly be behind your back, using his own connections to make trouble and fan the flames for you, these are the things that literati like to do the most, killing people without a trace. Yan Qingcheng leaned forward, looked at Ye Qing with a leisurely face angrily, and patted the table anxiously and worriedly.
"The so-called rhetoric of the literati? It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against dark arrows, but now I have to go deep into the tiger's den to know who will target me, right? And....... ”
"And what?" Yan Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing and frowned, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly leaned forward again and asked.
Her Yan family couldn't help him in this kind of thing at all, she could only help him analyze the stakes. After all, it's not about money, if it's just about money, she Yan Chengcheng won't be so worried, she can't be the master more, but within the scope of her ability, she will still help Ye Qing without hesitation.
But this is a matter of the court, and it is also the Imperial City Division, what kind of yamen is that, even if you have never been in it and don't know much, you know that it is a tiger's mouth yamen that eats people and does not spit out bones.
"Are you worried about me? Afraid something will happen to me? Ye Qing frowned, looked at the delicate face like a flower in front of him, and said with a chuckle.
"Frivolous!" Yan Tingcheng was stunned for a moment, then his face was cold, and then a flush rose on his cheeks for no reason, and he forced himself to calm down: "I'm afraid that my five hundred taels of silver will really be lost, and there is no way to cooperate with me in other things, who is worried about you." ”
"Ugh......." Ye Qing looked at Yan Qingcheng's shy and coquettish appearance: "Creation makes people, God is a bastard." By the way, how can you be so familiar with Fan Niande? ”
Ye Qing really wanted to confess to Yan Qingcheng, but he was not very uncertain about his future plans.
It's the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I don't know if I'll wear it for a lifetime or for a while, if I hurt someone's heart when the time comes, I won't feel good at the end of the millennium.
I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. Every day, I don't see you, and I drink the water of the Yangtze River. I won't really respond to other people's poems, and then become: You are a thousand years old, I am a thousand years old, every day I think about you and don't see you, and I send the bright moon to love.
"It's the same businessman, Lin'an City is so big, even if you don't understand it, you can understand it. Although he is not an imperial merchant, because there are people in the Imperial City Division, he can often see his family's buddies and shopkeepers trading back and forth when he goes to Sizhou for business. And because of the relationship between the Imperial City Division, even the inventory on the road is easier than that of us imperial merchants, and when we see his family's merchant ship or convoy, I say hello and let him go. However, his family rarely has a large business of the scale of a few boats or a dozen carriages, all of which are single boats or single carriages, and it may be because of this that they are not noticed and strictly inspected. ”
Yan Tingcheng didn't understand why Ye Qing suddenly sighed that creation made people, but when he heard Fan Niande ask about it, he hurriedly said in detail.
In her heart, she naturally hopes that Ye Qing knows as much as possible about Fan Niande, and it is best that these things she knows can help Ye Qing a little in the future, which is more in line with her heart.
"Miss, there are a lot of forbidden soldiers outside, as well as senior officials, and dozens of people are coming to our workshop." You'er's little face didn't know if it was because she was scared, or because she was running too quickly, she came to Yan Qingcheng and said in a hurry with Ye Qing.
It's just that without waiting for Yan Qingcheng to ask Ye Qing who else she is, she saw that the little girl suddenly stared at the teacup that Ye Qing was putting on her lips, and exclaimed: "Oh, that cup is for Miss, you can't use it." ”
"I ...... Your young lady didn't say it. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm ...... I...... Let's go out and see who it is. Yan Tingcheng's head slammed, and it went blank in an instant.
The whole person instantly became hot and dry, and the little blushing seemed to be dripping juice, got up and took You'er's hand, and ran out as if he was running away.
