Chapter 36: Sticky Rice

The night before, Shi Bin hurriedly arranged everything and prepared to take a few brothers and Jia Ling to the official road to Tanzhou the next day. As for the machines of the armory, the weapons that have been manufactured, and the craftsmen in them, they will be a few days late, and when everything in Tanzhou is arranged, these soldiers under him will be responsible for moving over.

made an appointment to set off together in Shilipu at 10 o'clock the next morning, but when he arrived at Shilipu, he learned that Jia Ling had left as early as Chenzheng (8 o'clock).

There were a few puffy clouds floating in the clear sky, and it was very poetic to walk with a young and beautiful girl at this time, but when I heard the news, I was only disappointed. knew that Jia Ling was an eccentric girl, so he had already arrived at Shilipu in Chenzheng (10 o'clock), but he was still teased by her.

This made Shi Bin a little embarrassed, and the other brothers were a little angry.

"Big brother, Miss Jia is too much! Are we really her bodyguard? Yesterday I tried whether my eldest brother saved people, do I have to test whether he is loyal today? Who does she think she is, the emperor? When Zhao Gang's fool heard the news, he was angry and immediately started scolding.

Although Li Chao was not so reckless, he also read it: "Big brother, although we got a small piece of land with her father, we can't be so arrogant, right?" After all, we also saved her life, and we are her life-saving benefactor, even if we give us a piece of land, we don't owe anything to her family. ”

Liu Xiao also agreed with Li Chao's opinion, and kept nodding yes. What's more, if it's too much, just ignore it, she walks her Yangguan Road, let's cross our single-plank bridge, it's much happier. Now tell Jia Rudao that her daughter has left first, and she will be responsible for saving the trouble.

Although Yi Jun and Xie Qiangbing were silent, it was obvious that they had the same opinion as Liu Xiao, but they were cautious and didn't want to speak.

Everyone thought that there would be no danger for her to go south, and it was better to have more than one thing, so they simply sent a guard back to Jia's mansion and told Jia Rudao the news, and he found an excuse to say that he couldn't escort him.

Only Wang San pondered and meditated on the side, and did not express his position. Everyone saw that the eldest brother had a sad face, and the think tank was also silent but made them anxious.

Zhao Gang was not so patient, he was about to urge Wang San to speak, Wang San spoke: "Brother Zhao, please go and call the post man, I have something to ask him." ”

When the postman saw these angry officers, his legs trembled with fright. These people are too murderous, they must be murderous, and they are definitely not the kind of people who are willing to be reasonable.

couldn't help but secretly scold the eldest lady who left early, and asked him to be angry for the trouble he caused. Thinking that the unruly lady who dared to play them must also be a wealthy family, but this is not a good bird, and now it is not much more difficult to kill people in this troubled world than to kill chickens, and he can only speak carefully and ask for more blessings.

"You're the postman here?" Wang San asked coldly.

"Master Jun, I am. The villain has been eating here for eight years, and if the adults have anything, just ask. He nodded vigorously.

Wang San looked at him and was very disgusted when he saw his obscene appearance, but he also knew that it was this kind of thief-eyed guy who was more careful.

"Did a beautiful young lady go to Tanzhou with a team of people in the morning?"

The postman immediately replied, "Yes, yes, the carriage and horse are very luxurious and exquisite, and at first glance they are large families." He also brought a dozen or so guards. But it only stopped for a moment outside the inn, and then it passed. ”

"Did you see anything wrong? Think about it. Wang San frowned and said solemnly.

The post guard didn't dare to be perfunctory when he looked at Wang San's face, and thought about it seriously. It didn't take long for him to speak, "It's a little strange. If ordinary people pass by, they have to drink a cup of tea, and it is also ten miles away. Since they stopped outside the station, why didn't they come in and have a cup of tea? And she and the maid had said a few very strange things outside. ”

Hearing this, Wang San immediately came to his senses and said loudly: "Come quickly, if you are right, you will be rewarded." But if you dare to tell a lie and be perfunctory, then you should be careful。。。。。。。。 ”

This post man has also been through ups and downs for a long time, and immediately understood that this was most likely a pair of enemies. He smiled and said, "This military master, the eldest lady was immediately angry when she heard the maid say that she didn't bring the handkerchief, and scolded the maid so much that she cried." This handkerchief is just that, and it shouldn't be so angry. The maid seems to be asking what to eat at noon.,The little one didn't hear clearly.,It seems to be saying something sticky rice.。。。。 ”

Wang San was also a little disappointed after hearing this, but it was not unusual for Miss Jia to do this. gave the post guard two coins of silver to persuade Shi Bin and the brothers to leave, but he still insisted on catching up with Jia Ling to solve the mystery in his heart.

walked all the way without stopping for a moment, and finally caught up with Jia Ling in the thirty-mile post station. When everyone saw the eldest lady in the post station, they didn't have a good face, and looked at it coldly. But after all, it was a girl, so she didn't care too much, and only set up a few tables outside the inn. They are all military men, and each person has a pound of bald noodles and half a pound of soju.

It didn't take long for Jia Ling's tables to be almost finished, and there was only a pot of glutinous rice that had not been touched at all. Looking at the uneaten fish and meat on the table, Shi Bin and his gang all scolded and scolded.

Zhao Gang said even more in a weird way: "No wonder this Great Song Dynasty is not as good as a day, there are too many guys with wolf hearts and dog lungs." ”

This time, even Shi Bin spoke: "It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stinky and there are frozen bones on the road, virtuous brother." It seems that the world is as black as a crow, and I guess we did something wrong. Some of the brothers died in vain. ”

Just as Shi Bin was talking more and more energetic, and when he wanted to make a big speech, he was pulled by Wang Sanyi and shut up at him. Seeing this situation, he also stopped, after all, his brother's mind is far more delicate than ordinary people, most of them can see something, but his face is still very bad.

At this time, Wang San said that it was cold outside the house and asked Shi Bin to sit in the hall to rest, and he took the brothers who came with him to arrange the room; After a while, Xiaoqin did the same thing, and soon there were Shi Bin and Jia Ling left in the hall.

The dining room is so big, looking at the bald noodles that his brothers drank all the soup and Jia Ling's table full of leftovers, Shi Bin became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

The most annoying thing is that when he saw the pot of glutinous rice that had not been moved, Shi Bin's stomach actually screamed angrily, and what he hoped most at this time was that Jia Ling was deaf or hard of hearing, and could not hear the rumbling sound of his stomach.

Such a performance naturally made Shi Bin very speechless, what he wanted most at this time was not to see Jia Ling, or Jia Ling to leave, of course these are impossible. So he simply turned around, pulled out the newly made handcuff from his waist and wiped it with an oilcloth.

Although he was wiping the gun, his mind was on Jia Ling, and soon the stool on Jia Ling's table made a sound. What made Shi Bin feel a little nervous was that the voice was not getting farther and farther, but getting closer and closer.

Pretending to be ignorant is hypocritical and stingy, and simply turns to Jia Ling again. found that at this time she was walking over with the pot of glutinous rice, and when she saw the eldest lady who had played herself twice, Shi Bin lost her temper, and her eyes were full of anger.

Want to soothe my anger with a pot of sticky rice? There are no doors! Just as he was about to open his mouth and sneer, he left in style, but was gagged by Jia Ling first.

"'Adults don't care about villains, but the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly.'" The Commander won't bother with my little woman, will he? Jia Ling said with a coquettish smile. Seeing that he was still unhappy in his eyes, Jia Ling said again: "I know that this joke has been exaggerated, so I sent a pot of glutinous rice to apologize, and asked Lord Shi to accept it." ”

Knowing that he couldn't be too small-bellied, Shi Bin could only say stiffly: "I won't be angry, just please don't do such a thing again." ”

Although he said that he was not angry, his stomach was still full of anger, so he still had no appetite when he looked at this pot full of delicious glutinous rice.

"Why don't adults eat it? Isn't it enough for the little woman to make amends? Lord Shi is a seven-foot man, and if he says that he won't be angry, he won't be angry, right? ”

Seeing that she seemed to have to eat it herself, Shi Bin could only eat it, after all, this was brought by the eldest lady of the Huguang Consulate General to "make amends".

He felt a little strange when he ate it, she still wrapped it in lotus leaves under the sticky rice. But it's fine, maybe it's just a custom here.

Not long after, Wang San and Xiaoqin both returned to the hall one after another, and after seeing Shi Bin eating, Jia Ling also went back to the room. Seeing Wang San come back, Shi Bin vigorously blamed him for going too long and embarrassing him. Wang San explained: "Big brother, it was the maid Xiaoqin who pulled me to ask you about it, and I couldn't get out." ”

Seeing him like this, he knew that he and Wang San were probably calculated again, and was about to ask carefully, but Wang San asked excitedly: "Big brother, this glutinous rice was brought by Jia Ling?" ”

Shi Bin nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me what moths are coming again, I can't stand Miss Najia a little." ”

"It's not a moth, it's not a moth, it's a moth. Hahaha, big brother, you can't escape, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. The more Wang San spoke, the more excited he became, and he even danced with his hands.

Seeing this brother's crazy appearance, Shi Bin immediately asked him to explain clearly. It turns out that giving glutinous rice is a popular way of conveying affection among the Miao people in Yunnan. When a girl falls in love with a young man, in order to express her admiration, she takes the initiative to give her a bag of glutinous rice, the more the quantity, the deeper the love. If the man is also affectionate, he will gladly accept it, report it to his parents, and ask the matchmaker to propose marriage.

"Big brother, it seems that your pot of Biluochun is a good please. Maybe at first she was just testing whether you would protect her, and she just liked it a little, and she shouldn't express her love like this. This Biluo Chunke has sent something wrong, you have to be mentally prepared for such a big lady. Of course, with such a sister-in-law, it is easier for us to develop. After Wang San finished speaking, he went back to the room.

In this way, everything can be explained, and the reason why Jia Ling left first was to prepare this difficult glutinous rice before she arrived. And some strange actions at the post station were to anger several of his brothers, and let them urge Shi Bin to hurry south and ask Jia Ling for clarification.

Thinking of these Shi Bin, it can be regarded as completely petrified, you must know that Jia Ling's temperament is most likely to not achieve her goal and not give up. Yesterday she was still laughing at who was her husband who had it, but now he has it.

When he returned to the room, he was half happy and half worried, looking at the flickering kerosene lamp on the table, although he was not yet a nymphomaniac, but he was already looking forward to it.

I couldn't sleep peacefully when I lay on the bed, so I kept my eyes open until dawn.
