Volume 2 The Dark Tide of the Night Chapter 17 The Blind Man
There is actually a reason why the prince next to the prince looks so fat.
In addition to bringing silver to the prince when he went out, he also had to bring replacement sachets, sweat towels, and socks. There are also undyed cotton handkerchiefs, and the dishes are wiped when the prince sneaks out to eat in a restaurant. There are also orange wood toothpicks that are a specialty of Cangwu country, with soft branches, with their own fragrance, and they are not easy to hurt the gums. There is also a piece of letterhead paper and a short piece of ink and charcoal, which can be used to record the best works of the prince at any time. There is also a fire lead, and it is often burned immediately when the prince says that the writing is not good just after recording, so as not to spoil the fun. Therefore, there are dozens of pockets sewn on the prince's body alone, which can be called a treasure shirt!
This is already a lot less than when the prince was young. In the past, when I was in the palace, I carried at most a dozen rattles of different colors, or carried a dozen wooden swords and spears behind my back, and inserted myself like a hedgehog. Now these things are carefully stored by the prince in the treasury of the palace, full of memories.
Therefore, the prince is really like a cornucopia for the prince. Of course, he did have some food, and he would take all the leftovers that the prince ate, but he always thought that this was only the most inconspicuous reason for his obesity.
Li Chongyan is usually used to stretching out his hand, and he doesn't need to say what he wants, and the prince will hand it over.
But it was useless to stretch out his hand today, because the prince didn't bring an umbrella at all.
"Winter thunder shakes summer rain and snow, dare to be with you! The old slave couldn't imagine that this blue sea country could really have thundershowers in winter...... "The prince can still quote scriptures."
The point is that you are hungry, but you have no money.
What to do if you don't have money! Borrow some from whom? Li Chongyan saw that there was no passer-by on the bluestone road, and couldn't help complaining: "What the hell is this place!" The road was so well built, but there was not a single pedestrian. ”
He's right, it's a hell of a place.
At the foot of Jiubao Mountain is the most respected feng shui treasure place for the feng shui masters of Taiye City, and the dignitaries love to bury themselves here. If he goes to the cemetery, he will definitely find that it is not the son of a prince or the concubine of a general, and the words on all the tombstones can stretch for generations of princes and generals. Ordinary people come here?
So after waiting for a long time, the two people who didn't know the road easily waited for a carriage, and they were quite happy.
Wait, this carriage looks familiar. Could it be that all the carriages of the Bihai Kingdom were mass-produced by a workshop? Well...... This window is also a bit familiar......
Li Chongyan suddenly saw the half-section of the window lattice hanging there, and found that this was not the carriage of the "jade pendant knot Luo Ying"?
It's a fate to meet thousands of miles away. He hurriedly rushed forward, but he didn't forget the etiquette. He made a gesture first, and then said, "The princess is polite!" ”
Zhu Zhijie heard it in the car, it was really a wrongdoer, how could she meet this guy again! Are you here to make fun of yourself? But after all, he didn't offend himself, but his people helped him out with a frying pansticker's spatula, so it's not good not to squeak, right? So he asked through the curtain:
"Gong ...... What's the matter with Childe? ”
When the prince heard the answer in the car, he thought that he had not forgotten me, so he said the most priceless sentence in his life to the woman he liked.
"Princess, may you ...... Can you give me back my jade pendant? ”
Anyway, the jade pendant is still worth some money! Let's get something to eat! I can't care about that much at the moment!
Zhu Zhijie was a little confused when she heard this...... This, this son is too ...... But it's really his stuff, and it's right to return him. Untied Luo Ying at the moment, and planned to hand it out. As a result, as soon as the curtain was lifted, he was stunned when he saw Li Chongyan's appearance. This is completely similar to the son who led the girl group in the limelight on the street just now.
The small leather crown with beads is also crooked, the folding fan is gone, the water-colored robe is completely drenched by the rain into a veritable water shirt, and the part under the waist is almost crumpled into a rag, and the face is a mess.
"Childe, this is ......"
"Alas, I wanted to see some Guanyin, but I ran into a thief, and I finally escaped here with my life, but fortunately I met the princess." Li Chongyan was already embarrassed to say that he was the prince, and at this moment he couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground.
"Hahahaha......" Zhu Zhijie tried to cover her mouth at first, but then she couldn't help it, so she simply laughed out loud. She was not only happy to see this boy's funny appearance, but suddenly felt that the two were even, and she had nothing to be embarrassed about, and her heart was relaxed. The maids next to her were stunned, they had never seen her smile like this after serving the princess for so long.
Zhu Zhijie suddenly felt that she was smiling a little unkindly, so she hurriedly corrected the color, handed the jade pendant out, and ordered, "Fluttershy, take twenty taels of silver to this son." The groom, untie the horse and give him a horse, there is still some way from the city. ”
As soon as Li Chongyan heard that he gave the silver and then the horse, the momentum of the emperor's family came out again. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'll borrow the silver and horses first, and you can keep the jade pendant!" How can you get back what you sent out! ”
When Zhu Zhijie heard this, she couldn't help but cover her stomach after laughing, and seeing Li Chongyan's serious face, she also took the jade pendant back, covered her mouth and smiled: "That son take care." Follow the main road all the way east to the city, don't run into thieves again. With that, he rode away in a carriage.
Li Chongyan took the silver, and just wanted to throw it to the prince, but after thinking about it, he still put it into his arms.
.
In front of the Dragon King Temple here, Su Xiaochen patted his ass and stood up, taking a deep breath in confusion. What's going on here? Could it be that the nephew of the Golden Blade King is really called Sule...... No, no, no, Su Xiaochen shook his head vigorously, secretly thinking that it was really not a good thing to lie, and even believed himself after talking for a long time. Thinking about the gang of thieves just now, do anyone really believe this kind of nonsense? A fool, right?
At the bottom of the seven-mile slope, Zhu Zhitong suddenly sneezed and muttered, "I don't know who is scolding me...... By the way, Sister Yin, why do you say that you are in such a hurry to leave, I still want to tease the nephew of the Golden Blade King. ”
Yinhua yawned and said, "Princess, Sister Yin, I still have work to do at night, why don't I go back to sleep quickly, I don't have the strength to work." Obedient, sister hurriedly sent you back to the city, I have been with you for a day today, and I will play with you next time. ”
Zhu Zhitong muttered in a low voice: "Why do I think I'm accompanying you......"
Yinhua pretended not to hear.
Here Su Xiaochen looked at the sky and it was already afternoon, his stomach was rumbling, but he didn't care about it at all, and planned to hurry back to the guest house to see if the prince had arrived safely.
After walking for about a stick of incense, I saw a big road, and I felt that this should not be wrong. I didn't walk a few steps, and I saw an old blind man set up a stall in the middle of the road, with a banner next to it, with the book "One yin and one yang is the Tao, and Lotte knows his fate so he is not worried", which seems to be a fortune teller.
Su Xiaochen felt strange when he saw it, there was no one on this road, who would set up a stall here. Is it really blind and can't see? Forget it, don't bother to pay attention to it, it's serious to hurry back to the city. Anyway, I was blind, so I crept past him.
Just a few steps, the blind fortune teller suddenly said in a loud voice: "The queen mother invited me to the banquet, but I will wait here to see you, little brother, do you want to come to a hexagram?" It is not allowed to ask for money. When Su Xiaochen heard this, he felt funny and said, it turns out that you are not blind, you can still see me.
The old blind man smiled, my ears are bright.
"I don't have anything to count, I'm in a hurry to get back to the city." Su Xiaochen didn't want to entangle.
"The guest officer is looking for someone?" The blind man smiled again.
Well? This false blind man has some ways. Su Xiaochen just stopped, and suddenly realized, I said that I was looking for someone, who were I talking about? Looking for the prince, looking for Lao Cao, looking for Princess Yinquan, they are all people who are looking for, where does he know who I am looking for, he must have seen that I was in a hurry, so he made a fool of himself. At that moment, the childlike heart was moved and decided to tease him.
"But I don't have any money." Su Xiaochen put on a rogue tone and gloated at how Mr. Blind responded.
"I can count it if I don't have money."
"But you said that you are not allowed to do not want money, and you do not want my money, isn't it not allowed to be a hexagram?"
"It's also simple, I only said the opposite, you listen to it correctly, in this way, listen to the inaccurate hexagram, I don't charge money."
When Su Xiaochen heard this, he thought it was interesting. He said, "Then calculate whether the clothes I am wearing today are white or green." ”
"Little brother, this is not kind, if I am right, you will say that I am not blind and a liar. If I'm wrong, you'll be a liar. Isn't it? The blind man grinned.
Su Xiaochen's heart sank, hey, this blind man is really smart. He looked up and down again, sighed and said, "Say, you and I don't know each other, what are you waiting for me here?" ”
The blind man asked: "Why do you say this, I set up a stall here, but I have a fate with my little brother." I want to give my brother a hexagram. ”
Su Xiaochen approached the blind man, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sir, it's only been a while since the rain has passed, and you are setting up a stall here without a drop of water, and there is no rain at all on this fortune telling flag, but the ink is still trendy, and it was just written, right?" Not waiting for me, but for whom? ”
Mr. Blind's heart was also in a daze, and he secretly thought: "This kid is really talented, not bad." At that moment, he smiled and said: "Little brother has good eyesight, I see that my little brother is not familiar with life, and I want to show me the way back to the city, and there is no malice." ”
Su Xiaochen thought to himself, this way of trying to show people the way is strange enough, and how did he know that I was going back to the city and didn't know the way? Well, just listen to him. He also clenched his fists and said, "Please advise." ”
The blind man pointed to a fork in the road on the right and said, "Follow this fork in the road and walk up to three miles, there is a lake, and half a circle to the east is the Xilin Gate, and as soon as you enter the door, you will not be far from the State Guest House." I have a relationship with my son, and we will definitely see each other again in the future. After saying that, he didn't want any banners and flags, and walked away.
Su Xiaochen was suspicious, what kind of person is this, even I know that I live in the guest house, and I don't have the strength to think about it at the moment, so I hurriedly walked along the fork in the road.
The fortune teller walked forward leisurely for a while, and a black-haired boy and two sturdy talents ran in front of him, and when he saw him, he asked: "Dare to ask sir, how to get to the guest house." ”
The fortune teller frowned and scolded: "Are you blind? Don't you see I'm blind? Asking for directions to a blind man? ”
Lao Cao was about to have a seizure, and when he thought about it, he asked the blind man what the way was, so he turned his head and walked away.
