Chapter 57: Return to Chang'an
On the fourteenth day of the first month, Su Bai and Wang Xiaobao returned to Chang'an in the carriage of Zhuzi's father, Erniu and Wang Xing and his wife were going back after spending the fifteenth at home, and the elders were not far away, of course this kind of big festival could not go. They understood the reason why Su Bai went back, and packed two clean clothes for Su Bai, and the carriage of the pillar father did not have a shed, but it was not light for Su Bai to freeze along the way.
When it was time to talk about Zhai, Su Bai and Wang Xiaobao couldn't even feel their fingers, and they slowed down for a long time before they eased up, and called a few runners to unload everything to the backyard of Liaozhai, there was a temporary room for Su Bai, and he wouldn't go home and toss. Now that Liaozhai's business is good, it has become an all-day business model, and Wang Fatzi's newly recruited storyteller has also arrived, he is in charge of the morning book, and he is also telling some old stories, such as "The Legend of the White Snake" and the like, Mr. Guo is responsible for the afternoon time.
Wang Fatzi was also very excited to see Su Bai come back, and told Su Bai that they had now accepted several new servants, and now the chatting team is more perfect, and it has begun to get on the right track, saying that when he went home, the old man also praised him, saying that he had a good relationship with the little grandfather.
Su Bai ignored this dead fat man, this fat man is now a little bit of a talkative direction, let the kitchen make a hot meal to eat, and after eating with Wang Xiaobao, he got into Wang Fatzi's carriage and went straight to "Mingde Academy", the year is over, how can I go to meet Zhao Ming. The gifts are also ready-made, in the past two days, Su Bai and Wang Xiaobao have purified a total of six jars of spirits, in addition to the one that was buried, there are still five jars left. Stay at home for two altars, one altar for grandfather and one altar for Wang Xing, and the remaining three altars are brought.
One jar is for Wang Fugui, let him take it home to fulfill his filial piety, and the rest is Zhao Ming's altar and Cheng Biting Jin's altar. The porter Lao Liu was so excited when he saw Su Bai coming, he greeted him from afar: "Young Master Wang, why did you come", Su Bai smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, Happy New Year!" Lao Liu was stunned, it was the first time he heard this way of greeting, it was quite festive, and he also learned Su Bai's appearance and said: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year, today the master went out to meet friends, only the lady and Miss are at home." Su Bai hugged his fists and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Lao Liu smiled and led Su Bai to the inner courtyard, it was still a familiar road, or those 'thrilling' maids, not to mention, I still missed it after not seeing him for a long time. Back in the study and waiting, the maid Qiuxiang went to the backyard to report, it didn't take five minutes, the door was kicked open with a 'bang', such a fiery character, you don't have to guess Su Bai to know who it is, look down and read, as if you didn't see this person.
"The surname Wang! Why haven't you been here for so long? ”
Zhao Yue'er's familiar loud voice sounded in Su Bai's ears, Su Bai couldn't help sighing, you said a very good-looking little Lori, such a dominatrix temper, who can stand it! Continue to look down at the book, pretending not to hear. Zhao Yue'er was even more angry when she saw that Su Bai ignored herself, sat opposite Su Bai, reached out and snatched his book, and said angrily: "The old lady asked you something!" Deaf? ”。
"You are a big girl's family, who did you learn from?" Su Bai said angrily, Zhao Yue'er said with a small chest: "The old lady is willing!" Do you care about me? Su Bai coughed lightly and said: "If I were you, I wouldn't be so arrogant, have you forgotten to punish the 'female ring'?" When it came to the female ring, Zhao Yue'er was immediately stunned, looking at Su Bai's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, it was called a hate!
Didn't he come so in a hurry just to see this dead man soon, but after he came, he was still angry with himself, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he pulled Su Bai's left hand and bit it down, this bite was extraordinarily hard!
Before Su Bai could react to what was going on, his left hand had already fallen into the 'tiger's mouth', and a sharp pain came, and he didn't know how this girl bit it, just biting the back of Su Bai's hand, and even a lost piece of meat could be bitten by her. Su Bai screamed "Ahh Loosen! Loosen up! Where was Zhao Yue'er willing to listen to him, not only did she not let go, but she worked harder.
Su Bai felt that his flesh was going to be bitten off, and the more he struggled, the more painful it became, this was his teacher's daughter, and he couldn't beat her, she was in pain, Mrs. Zhao walked in outside the door, and when she saw Zhao Yue'er biting Su Bai's hand, she was angry!
"Stop, no, stop it!"
Hearing her mother's voice, Zhao Yue'er subconsciously let go of her mouth and became a little quail in seconds. Su Bai was stunned for a moment, did he learn to change his face in Sichuan? Or is it a woman's basic talent? Mrs. Zhao came over and grabbed Zhao Yue'er's ears and said: "You girl is becoming more and more lawless, you were still writing and embroidering two days ago, I thought you were old and modified, but I didn't expect you to be exposed today!" ”
"Mother, no, this is him..."
"Shut up! I don't know what you look like yet? Hmph, you're not too young now, it looks like it's time to marry you off! Mrs. Zhao was angry, so she said it casually. Zhao Yue'er seemed to have been struck by lightning, motionless, Su Bai felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, and when she wanted to persuade her mother, Zhao Yue'er pushed the two away and ran out crying.
Su Bai subconsciously wanted to chase out, but Mrs. Zhao grabbed her arm and said: "Don't chase, hmph, it's because his father has been used to her all these years that she has developed such an arrogant and rude character!" ”。 Su Bai wanted to defend Zhao Yue'er for a few sentences, but he couldn't say the words when they came to his mouth. stood up, bowed deeply to Mrs. Zhao and said, "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I ask my wife to forgive me, be careful, and accept it from my sister." As he spoke, he put the jar of wine in his hand on the table, and Mrs. Zhao didn't care if it was a jar of wine. smiled and asked Su Baidao, "Have you ever fallen behind in your homework?" "Don't dare to forget for a moment".
Mrs. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, looked at the door that Zhao Yue'er knocked on just now, sighed and said, "This girl is also twelve years old this year, not young, it's time to find someone's home, I can't let her go on like this." Su Bai was stunned, and he looked for his mother-in-law at twelve? Then I remembered that this is the Tang Dynasty, there are too many people who get married at the age of twelve, and there are no longer a few people who become fathers and mothers at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
But why do you feel a little sad when you hear the news? Have you taken a fancy to Zhao Yue'er? No way, no way! How could I like that kind of violent maniac! And she's three years older than herself! However, the female junior holds the gold bricks, so she can't think about it, bah bah! I'm almost thirty years old plus the memories of my previous life, how can I be tempted by a twelve-year-old little Lori, impossible! I'm definitely not that kind of beast! Ay? That beast is not as good? Bah!
"Ugly cow? Ugly cow? What do you think? Why did you get stuck? Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Bai's origin, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, Su Bai came back to her senses and laughed embarrassedly twice, how could she not tell her that she was thinking about her daughter just now. Mrs. Zhao smiled: "I heard that you and Chu Mo worshipped the handle?" Su Bai nodded and said: "It was Uncle Cheng who asked the two of me to worship, saying that the two of us are compatible, and it is a good candidate for worship....." said that Su Bai was also a little unconfident here, he was also a little confused in this matter, and he didn't understand what was going on at all, and the two of them bowed in a daze.
The truth of the matter is that the people who can come to Cheng Chumo's side are already clean people who have been investigated, and when they came into contact with Cheng Chumo on the first day, all the information about Su Bai had already reached Cheng Yanjin's public case. The reason why the two of them bowed was because it was pleasing to Su Bai's eyes, and secondly because of what Su Bai did! Talented! All this kind of person needs is a springboard to soar into the sky, and what Cheng Yanjin did was to tie this future star to his chariot first.
Some people may think, what if Su Bai develops in a bad place in the future? For example, what if it is a rebellion? This is almost impossible, the first is Su Bai's family, a farmer for generations, and the second is his teacher, Zhao Ming! As his brother-in-law, what kind of person is he, and who can understand him better than Cheng Yanjin? Maybe he doesn't know anything top, but as a teacher he is definitely qualified. He seems to be a groom, and every student is a horse, and his responsibility is to pull you when you are about to go down the wrong road, so that you can gallop on the right road!
Mrs. Zhao obviously understood this, and she was even more satisfied with Su Bai, otherwise she would not have given Su Bai three inches of apostasy. Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Your master mentioned you two days ago, saying that you haven't come here for so long, otherwise you can introduce some of his friends to you." "I'm bothered by the teacher", Su Bai smiled, Zhao Ming's family's concern for him, he could feel it, and the teacher-student relationship between a closed disciple in Datang was actually not much different from the relationship between father and son.
Su Bai naturally couldn't leave without eating, and the master specially instructed the kitchen to make Su Bai's favorite roast chicken, but she didn't see Zhao Yue'er when she was eating. Shi Niang said angrily: "Don't care about that dead girl, you may not have to go crazy somewhere", Su Bai bowed his head to eat, he must not be able to respond at this time. Mrs. Zhao is a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she was a little worried when she didn't see her daughter, so she found an excuse to go out to find her daughter after eating two bites, leaving Su Bai to eat roast chicken in the company of a few 'maids'.
......
His daughter understands herself, Mrs. Zhao went straight to the pavilion in the back garden, in winter, the flowers and plants have all died, and when she got to the back garden, she looked, and sure enough, her stupid girl was sitting on the stone bench, as if she didn't care about the stone bench at all, and was about to go over to call her, but she saw her daughter's shoulders twitching, as if she was crying, and by the wind blowing, she vaguely heard it......
