Chapter 533: Siblings
Under Lan Ziyi's enlightenment, Zhang Yanwu cried bitterly to vent his feelings, and then just pushed the cup with Lan Ziyi and changed the lamp, and stopped scolding loudly. By the time Lan Ziyi's new two dishes were finished, Zhang Yanwu was already drunk, and Lan Ziyi set Zhang Yanwu up and planned to send him home.
A few shopkeepers watching the play at the staircase watched Lan Ziyi carrying the drunk and unconscious Zhang Yanwu and hurriedly came up to help Lan Ziyi, these little guys each gave a thumbs up, and the little er who served Lan Ziyi said:
"Master, you are Weihou Lan Ziyi? That's a good job. This Zhang Ye came to drink this morning and drank until now, and he has not been drunk after more than a dozen jars of wine, and the servants who came with his family were all beaten and scolded by him and driven away. Wei Hou, you only need to say a few words and a pot of wine, and you will pour down Zhang Ye, which is very powerful. ”
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, Brother Zhang is aggrieved, so he talks nonsense."
Xiao Er replied:
"Where did Zhang Ye say nonsense, everyone didn't say it openly, they were secretly talking about King De's entry into Beijing, and when King De fled back that day, ......"
Xiao Er didn't finish his words before he was stopped by Lan Ziyi with his hand, Lan Ziyi lowered his face and said seriously:
"Don't talk about state affairs. Brother Zhang and I are talking nonsense that there are still people to cover, and if you talk nonsense, you can only explain without Taichengwei. ”
Xiao Er heard Lan Ziyi's words and knew that he was wrong, so he quickly nodded and responded:
"What Wei Hou said is that the villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense."
After going downstairs, a group of small servants came forward to help Zhang Yanwu, and Lan Ziyi asked and knew that this was the servant of the Zhang family. These servants did not have a nocturnal waist card, so they planned to find an inn to stay in the nearest fang, but Lan Ziyi was worried that Zhang Yanwu was talking nonsense after drinking and disturbing other visitors to the inn, so he insisted on sending Zhang Yanwu back to his mansion in the capital with the servants.
After sending Zhang Yanwu, Lan Ziyi turned around and went home. Originally, it was to enter the city in the evening, but after sending Zhang Yanwu off, it became late at night. Walking alone in the empty streets of the capital was very quiet, but Lan Ziyi didn't have much chance to enjoy the silence, because he walked two streets and was about to be interrogated by the night patrol team of the city gate captain and Jing Zhaoyin's catchers. Fortunately, there is a nocturnal waist card by his side, and Lan Ziyi has no danger along the way.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the house, Lan Ziyi saw a few little guys shaking their heads and looking around, and when they saw Lan Ziyi coming back, the little guys looked relieved. After Lan Ziyi dismounted, he handed the horse to the waiting servant, and asked at the same time:
"Why do you guys look like this? Something stolen from the house? ”
Hearing this, the little guy bowed his head and replied timidly:
"There was no theft, it's just that a few masters in the mansion are looking for you."
Lan Ziyi watched the little servants hide when they saw him one by one, and wanted to ask why, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he had been angry these days, and the servants in the house had been scolded by him a lot, which one was not avoiding him.
Lan Ziyi, who had figured it out, didn't say anything more, he opened his mouth and asked:
"So where are the masters now?"
When the servant heard this, he replied:
"The three masters of the Tao family are in your bedroom of the Marquis of Wei, and the two masters of the Qiu family are packing their luggage in their own room."
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi frowned and said to himself:
"Packing?"
Then he instructed the servant next to him:
"Go and call the two gentlemen of the enemy family to my bedroom, and bring me a pot of tea by the way, I have to relieve my hangover."
With that, Lan Ziyi stepped into the door and walked to his bedroom. After walking to the courtyard, Lan Ziyi heard the sound of the Tao brothers arguing in his bedroom. After hearing the movement, Lan Ziyi slowed down, he tiptoed out of the window, and quietly listened to what the people in the room were arguing about.
The first thing Lan Ziyi heard was the voice of the peach chasing the tiger, and he only listened to the peach chasing the tiger:
"I think we'd better go back and pack our bags, the two gentlemen of the Qiu family are already packing."
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit said angrily:
"Big brother, what did you say? We packed up and left, what should the young master do? ”
Tao Zhulu interjected at this time:
"San Lang, that's not the young master anymore, that's Wei Hou. I'm just a servant of the guard, and after leaving, the general will arrange for other people to come, and without our young master, we can still live freely, but we are angry when we see the young master. ”
As he spoke, Lan Ziyi heard the sound of his sleeves swinging and sobbing in the room.
Peach Rabbit said:
"Second brother, you asked me to call the young master Wei Hou, but you yourself called the young master, why bother."
Tao Zhulu opened his mouth to answer this question, and only the sound of his sleeves could be heard outside the house. Lan Ziyi sighed quietly outside the house, he knew why Tao Zhulu was insincere, several brothers had always protected him as a little brother, and his action of driving his brothers away really hurt their hearts, but they had to obey Lan Ziyi's orders.
I only heard Tao Zhuhu say:
"Don't cry, don't be sad, the young master is decisive and handsome, although we were driven back, we should be happy for the young master."
Peach Rabbit Road:
"Big brother, second brother, I still think you are thinking too much. Although there is a letter written by the general here agreeing with the young master's decision, with the young master's relationship with us, I don't think the young master will drive us away. I think we'd better wait for the young master to come back and talk to the young master. ”
Lan Ziyi listened and nodded outside the window, but what he didn't expect was that Tao Zhuhu was furious when he heard this, and Tao Zhuhu said:
"Wait, is there still time to wait? The young master received the letter the night before yesterday, and went out early yesterday morning without telling anyone, and now no one has returned. Aren't you in the capital with a lot of fox friends and dog friends? Did you find out the young master? “
Tao Zhulu also said at this time:
"Third brother, the young master must still be angry with us if he doesn't return for days. Don't stay to bother the young master, as long as you can let the young master come back in peace, what if we go back to Yanguan? I don't blink even if I want our heads. “
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit sighed and said:
"I also know that brother, you have a point, but I still ask the young master when he comes back. What if the young master went to the general's letter, what bliss was there? Besides, big brother, you just left, what should you do with my sister-in-law? Have you saved enough money to redeem her now? ”
As he spoke, Lan Ziyi heard the sound of peach chasing rabbits sobbing.
At this time, a lady came from the kitchen outside the courtyard with tea, and the Tao brothers in the house had already seen the ladies outside the house, Lan Ziyi also raised his sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and walked out of the corner of the wall to beckon the ladies to put the tea in the pavilion in the courtyard.
The Tao brothers found out that Lan Ziyi had been outside the window all along, and they were surprised and surprised, so they hurriedly walked out and followed Lan Ziyi to the pavilion.
Lan Ziyi asked the lady to put the tea on the stone bench in the pavilion and then asked the lady to retreat, he sat alone at the table and poured a cup of tea for himself, while the three brothers of the Tao family came to the court and stood down, and saluted Lan Ziyi with a fist:
"The subordinates didn't know that Wei Hou had returned, and they were very offended. We are waiting to be convicted! ”
Then Tao Zhuhu added:
"It's me who has the doctrine to enter Wei Hou's room, and Wei Hou wants to punish me alone."
Lan Ziyi sighed after pouring the tea, then looked up and said to the Tao brothers:
"Come in and sit down, brothers."
Hearing this, the Tao brothers bowed their heads and replied:
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Lan Ziyi didn't force it when he heard this, he moved his gaze to the side, and said with some self-care:
"Do the three brothers remember the incident when we went out together to the bad man's melon field ten years ago? I can remember clearly, it was also the beginning of July, and it was also the four of us at that time, you said that it would be so strong, and less than a dozen acres of melons were broken in one night, in fact, the melons could be picked and marketed in a few days, and I was really bad at that time. ”
The Tao brothers didn't understand what Lan Ziyi meant by saying this at this time, so they lowered their heads and exchanged glances at each other. Lan Ziyi didn't care about the Tao brothers, but continued:
"The next day, the melon farmer came to the gate of the General's Mansion to ask for justice, and my father happily gave the silver to the family at twice the price, just to show that I was selfless and unforgiving to the General's Mansion, and the three brothers were unlucky. I remember that the eldest brother was given 20 lashes, the second brother was given 10 lashes, and the third brother was still young but he was also whipped 5 times, and I was not alone, but that night I took the lead in smashing the melons in the field, and the three brothers carried the black pot for me. ”
The three brothers of the Tao family no longer bent over with their fists clenched when they heard this, they all raised their heads to look at Lan Ziyi, waiting for him to finish speaking.
Lan Ziyi saw the Tao brothers raise their heads, and he also turned his eyes to the Tao brothers, he raised the tea poured on the table and said to the three Tao brothers:
"I'll tell my brother the truth, the other day I was suffering and I couldn't get angry, so I sent the fire to my three brothers. Today, I, Lan Ziyi, am not here to pretend to apologize to my brothers, I only ask my brothers one sentence: The three brothers have taken a black pot for me before, are the brothers willing to take this one more bite? By this breath of me? ”
