Chapter 45: The Troubles of the Monkey
Steward Huang gasped and said, "Oops, I'm tired." Master, the little ones finally rented this sedan chair, and there are many people on the road today, and they can't squeeze in, but they didn't miss the master. ”
Qu Ping said: "What are you renting a sedan chair for, and I have three people here." ”
Steward Huang looked at it, oops, this was not expected.
Xiao Lu said: "Master, are this son and this young lady going to our house?" ”
"What's the matter, didn't our house live in Qingxuanzi, Chen Chong, Jiang Boyan, Li Cailian and others before?" Qu Ping said, "And these two are amazing, you have to be careful." This mighty little brother is General Yue Fei, and he is also my sworn brother, what about this beautiful young lady, she is even more amazing, she will be your mistress in the future! ”
Xiaohong was shocked: "Master, do you still take the abducted girl with you in the war?" ”
Xiao Lu quietly pinched Qu Ping's waist from behind, and whispered, "Who are the people in your house, why are they all so weird?" ”
Qu Ping solemnly introduced: "The three of them are the traffic light combination given to me by Master Zongze, this is Steward Huang, this is Xiaohong, this is Xiaolu." ”
"What is a traffic light?" Everyone wonders that this is a new term.
"It's at the intersection that directs traffic." Qu Ping explained, "In places with a large flow of people and vehicles, traffic lights are needed to maintain order, otherwise everyone does not understand courtesy, and they will cut into the queue and cause traffic jams." ”
Steward Huang said: "I have lived half my life, and I have never heard of such a thing, and I have never seen congestion at intersections. ”
Qu Ping said: "You don't understand it when I explain it to you, so I think it was me who came up with it." When the day when the population of our Great Song Dynasty is large, the traffic is busy, and there are a large number of horses, carriages, rickshaws, and sedan chairs to travel, traffic lights can come in handy. But you don't have electricity, and I don't know how to generate electricity, so I can only ask people to hold red, yellow and green signs at the intersection to guide. ”
The more everyone listened, the more confused they became, and Qu Ping said don't waste my wisdom with your ignorance. Qu Ping let Xiao Lu get into a four-fold sedan chair, and he and Yue Fei walked back to the house with three living treasures.
Steward Huang bought chickens, ducks, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables early in the morning, and prepared delicacies from the mountains and seas tonight to treat the old man, the expectant lady and Yue Fei.
Qu Ping said to Xiao Lu that you want to eat pasta or rice. Xiao Lu said that noodles have the taste of noodles, and rice has the taste of rice, and they can all be eaten. Qu Ping said that then all be ready. Looking at the three people who were busy in the kitchen, Qu Ping thought that he still had to find a chef, otherwise there would be no one to serve the guests and pour tea and water.
Qu Ping personally brought tea to the two of them, and said: "The humble house is shabby, and there is nothing good to entertain the eldest brother." ”
Yue Fei said and smiled: "In the future, if you have younger brothers and sisters, the cold house will be lively, and you will feel at home." ”
Qu Ping said: "Listening to what the eldest brother said, he should have a family, right?" ”
"The eldest brother married your sister-in-law Liu at the age of sixteen, and she also gave birth to two sons for me, Yue Yun and Yue Lei, and I can take your two nephews to educate you in the future." Yue Fei said abruptly, "It's a pity that a year before the Jingkang disaster, I joined the Privy Council Liu Haojun as a dead soldier, and then Xiangzhou was in danger, and my mother took your sister-in-law Liu and my two sons to the south. It is also blamed that I participated in the dead soldiers, and with the will to die, Liu Shi did not hear about my life and death for a long time, thinking that I was dead, so he left his mother, leaving behind the two poor children and disappeared. After Emperor Jianyan became emperor, I went to General Zong Ze again, and only then did I try to find my mother and children and take them back to Tangyin's hometown. It's a pity that there is no news from Liu, and her mother said that she was resentful before leaving, and it is estimated that she has already followed someone else. ”
Qu Ping felt sorry for Yue Fei and comforted: "Why is the eldest husband without a wife, the eldest brother is now deeply used by the emperor, and the future is bright, why worry about not finding a beautiful girl!" ”
Xiao Lu said: "It's not that the bigger the official position, the better you can find a good wife!" ”
Qu Ping said: "My official position is not small, didn't I find a good wife." Okay, I didn't say that you women were bad, you go to the kitchen and see if there is anyone you need to help, otherwise you won't be able to eat when it's dark. ”
Xiao Lu pursed her lips and walked to the kitchen, while saying, "Brother Yue, don't take it to heart, anyway, the two children are still around, and they are not afraid that there will be no successors, so it's a big deal to find a virtuous and virtuous lady in the future." ”
Qu Ping shouted: "This is the same point, if you don't come back, let's continue to talk." ”
Xiao Lu ignored him and twisted her waist to the kitchen. Huang Honglu in the kitchen was very busy, and when he saw Xiao Lu coming, he thought that Mrs. was here to inspect the work, so he hurriedly said that Mrs. Please be able to eat it right away. Xiao Lu said I'll help you out. How can the three of them ask her to join hands, it's not a mess of proportion, the most important thing to be a subordinate is to know how to be proportional, what should and shouldn't. Xiao Lu was helpless, so she had to go back to talk awkwardly.
"Where?" Xiao Lu said.
"Why don't you go to the kitchen to help, and then you come back to Ba Po?" Qu Ping joked.
"What mother?" Xiao Lu said, what does the eighth woman mean.
Yue Fei said: "When we talk about when the emperor will give you a marriage, when the time comes, the eldest brother must give a big gift." Don't lose face. ”
Xiao Lu looked shy and said, "Then you go on, I'll go clean up my room." ”
Qu Ping's many rooms are simply decorated, and there are no furniture and facilities, Xiao Lu wants to have time to walk around the street tomorrow to see if there are any necessities to buy, such as jewelry, gouache, beautiful clothes, and the general's wife has to look like the general's wife.
The delicacies were served, everyone sat at a table, and Steward Huang, Xiaohong, and Xiaolu were also invited to the table together, so excited that their hands holding chopsticks were a little shaky. Everyone drank a little wine and chatted about the victorious war, interesting things in the capital and so on.
was eating heartily, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the front door, Steward Huang hurriedly went to take a look, it turned out to be Li Cailian. When Xiaohong Xiaolu saw that someone was coming, she also got up and didn't dare to sit at the table.
Qu Ping said: "Sister Cailian, let's eat together, we just started eating." Qu Ping saw Li Cailian standing at the door and didn't speak, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, Qu Ping got up and said, "What's the matter, why are you crying, I didn't see a single tear in the war, why are I crying now." Is it Lu Ji bullying you, I see that his wings are stiff, see that I don't teach him a lesson! ”
Xiao Lu hugged Li Cailian, helped her wipe away her tears, and said, "What is it, say it and solve it together?" ”
Li Cailian's emotions were suddenly released, and she cried out wow, saying: "Lu Ji's broken left leg is infected with the epidemic because of the open skin. After the doctor diagnosed and treated, he said that if the calf was not amputated, the evil poison would spread upward, and only from the lower part of the thigh. Now he has no legs, he is discouraged, he lies in bed all day, no one wants to see him, and he tells me to get out. ”
Qu Ping was shocked: "How could this be, I thought it was a simple fracture, but I didn't expect it to be an open fracture with infection!" ”
Xiao Lu said, "Let's go and have a look!" ”
"I'll go too!" Yue Fei said.
The three of them threw down the dishes and chopsticks and went to visit Lu Ji with Li Cailian, and the three of Huang Steward looked at the food that had been busy all afternoon on the table coldly, and they didn't eat it, if they didn't eat it, they would be hungry and hungry.
There was a faint candlelight in Lu Ji's house, and he lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Hearing Qu Ping and them enter the room, he turned his head to look at it, and then continued to look at the ceiling. He said listlessly, "It's all here, sit down." ”
"Why is it so dark, light a little more candles, only light will make people cheerful, and darkness will only make people depressed." Qu Ping said.
Xiao Lu saw that there were candles on the side, so she took the initiative to light a few more candles, and the room finally brightened.
Lu Ji saw Yue Fei and said, "A new friend has arrived, I'm sorry, I didn't entertain you well." Xiao Lu came closer after lighting the candle, Lu Ji looked at her as if she was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and said, "Who is this?" ”
Qu Ping said: "This is my new good big brother, Yue Fei, you are also called big brother." Yue Fei nodded to him and said hello, Qu Ping introduced Xiao Lu and said, "This is your future sister-in-law, you have seen it in Xiangzhou Juxian Tower, and everyone will be a family in the future." ”
"Oh, I remember. I'm like this, how can I be worthy of being your family. Lu Ji said.
Xiao Lu put the old ginseng sold on the street just now next to Lu Ji's bed, and said, "Who hasn't had a little illness or disaster, you know, my life experience is not also miserable, and I am still strong and alive." During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin was cut off his patella by Pang Juan, and in the end, he led the State of Qi to defeat the Wei army commanded by Pang Juan and helped the State of Qi establish a hegemony. ”
"That's Sun Bin, not me."
Qu Ping said: "Aren't you a descendant of Luban, your ancestors and Sun Bin are both very powerful characters." ”
Lu Ji said: "I'm like this, I can't go to the court on crutches in the future, I'm still a member of the Ministry of Labor, I'm a lang, it's clearly a dog." ”
"Don't worry, I'll tell the emperor then, please give you permission to sit in the court. And aren't you Master Luban, you can make a prosthetic leg, and you can still walk upright without crutches! ”
Lu Ji softened his heart and said, "It's so ugly, how dare you go out." ”
Qu Ping said: "Sister Cailian is right in front of you, are you still afraid that you won't find your wife?" ”
Lu Ji secretly glanced at Li Cailian, and saw her looking at herself with a determined expression, and her heart warmed.
Qu Ping said again: "If you don't want to walk, you can also make a sedan chair and take a wheelchair." ”
Li Cailian plucked up the courage to grab Lu Ji's hand and said, "Lu Ji, cheer up, the country needs you, the commander also needs you, and I also need you." ”
