Chapter 43: Conspiracy Inside and Outside the Court—The People of the Southwest
Tang Bohe had already noticed them, after all, their group was very special even in the crowded capital, and it was difficult not to notice it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He replied: "It's a coincidence that a few guest officers came, and it just so happened that there was still a private room in the store that had not been decided. With that, he called a fellow and asked him to take them to the second floor. The guests walked to the second floor under the guidance of the guys.
Tang Bohe watched them disappear on the stairs before retracting his gaze. At this time, someone patted him on the back, and he turned his head to see that it was his wife Mo.
Seeing him turn around, Mo said, "What are you looking at?" So reluctant? Is there anything special about those guests? ”
Tang Bohe's eyes swept around, and seeing that there were no guests and men within a few steps, he whispered: "The four guests who came just now, two men and two women, one of them is not like a Han person, like a person from southwest Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guizhou. ”
Mo laughed at him quietly: "Yo Yo Yo, do you still know what the people in the southwest are like?" What else is Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, it shows that you know several provinces of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Tang Bohe was just about to speak, a group of guests walked in, he was busy entertaining the guests, and when he came back, he continued: "I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run!" A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty won a battle in the southwest, and it was not that he had not come to the capital to offer prisoners, and just those two people were wearing various ornaments like prisoners transported to the capital. There is also that woman, who looks like a teenage girl, but she doesn't wear a veil, how can we Han women go out without a veil at this age. ”
Tang Bohe said this, Mo actually knew that she was just joking with him, so at this time she pretended to be angry: "I said why you look at people reluctantly, it turns out that there is a little girl, you are in love with others!" ”
Tang Bohe hurriedly said: "How can I fall in love with other people's little girls, although they are indeed very beautiful," Seeing the change in Mo's face, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and swore busily: "If I fall in love with other people's little girls, let me be thundered by the sky." ”
Seeing him say this, Mo Shi hurriedly said, "How can I doubt you." Then Wen Yan comforted him, anyway, the purpose was not to let him find out that he was teasing him.
Then, when the meal arrived, there were more guests on the first floor, and the husband and wife were busy greeting the guests.
By the time the meal passed before 2 o'clock in the afternoon (2 p.m.), there were fewer people in the shop, after all, they were not a big restaurant, just a small noodle restaurant. Tang Bohe, who was busy, sat at the counter to rest, and suddenly remembered the special group of four, feeling that he didn't see them checking out and leaving, and asked the guy who served upstairs: "The group of four people, two men and two women who came in the morning, have the guests left in the yellow private room?" ”
The guy said, "Not leaving!" I don't want much to eat, but I don't want to leave; I don't know what I'm talking about, I always lock the door and have to knock on the door every time I deliver food, which is really troublesome. ”
The man's words aroused Tang Bohe's interest. Originally, he just asked casually, with no purpose; But after listening to the guy's words, I felt very curious, and I fidgeted in the chair.
After arranging for the cook to wash the dishes and chopsticks in the back kitchen, Mo came to the front desk, and when he saw Tang Bohe's appearance, he knew that he had something he was interested in and wanted to see.
So Mohs asked, "Look at you, you look like you have nails on your chair!" What's so fun going on again. ”
Tang Bohe said: "It's the guest from the southwest side that I said in the morning. ”
Mo said: "What's the matter, you still miss other people's little girls? I really like people. Our family's Wen'er (their daughters) are twelve! You are an uncle in your thirties, and you still think about other little girls; It's that I agree with you to take a concubine, can you do it with such a little girl? ”
Tang Bohe said: "It's not that I'm worried about other little girls, just now the guy said, they don't know what they're talking about, they always lock the door, I don't think it's right." ”
Mohs said, "What do you do! Even if we want to kill ourselves for money, we can't control it, that's the government's business, we can't just say that we are accomplices just because we have a meal here, this is still the capital, the government doesn't dare to be so presumptuous; Besides, if it's really a strongman who seeks money and kills, can we afford to provoke it, and what if someone provokes it and comes to harm us? ”
Seeing that Tang Bohe was still fidgeting, she continued: "Don't secretly eavesdrop on other people's conversations, be careful of bringing trouble to your family." ”
Tang Bohe said unconvinced: "Isn't this noodle restaurant in our house ......?"
Mo Shi immediately went to cover his mouth, and when he saw that there was no one nearby, he hurriedly whispered: "How dare you say anything in public!" This is something that can be said in public! If we really let others hear it, will our family still be able to do business? ”
Tang Bohe also realized that he was Meng Lang, if he really said it just now for others to hear, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the capital. But he couldn't get over it, and several guests on the first floor looked at them. So he said, "I didn't say it." ”
Mo Shi said angrily: "If I hadn't covered your mouth just now, you would have said it." Still quibbling here, I'll clean you up when I get back. ”
Tang Bohe saw that his wife was angry, so he stopped talking. Some familiar guests saw that Tang Bohe seemed to be counted by Mo's family, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Old Tang, let your wife count it again, you are more and more afraid of your wife; But that's okay, when people see that you are so afraid of your wife, they may be willing to marry their daughter to your son. Everyone laughed. Tang Bohe could only deal with it with haha.
At this time, the guests of the group of four went downstairs after settling the accounts. The little girl's smart eyes turned around, and when she saw that the boss and his wife seemed to be arguing at the counter, she followed the person who came to buy a few cakes to use as dry food to the counter, and said to the proprietress Mo's: "Doesn't it mean that you Han women have to be obedient to men?" I don't think you look like that. ”
Mo Shi was surprised that she came to speak, and she still asked such a direct question, but in line with the rule of not provoking guests, she changed the topic without a trace: "You are not Han?" Otherwise, how can you talk like that? ”
The little girl replied: "Yes, we are from Yunnan's side, what, oh, the military and civilians in the car comforted the envoys, because General Mu governed Yunnan very well to us, and my father brought us to the capital to see off General Mu." ”
Mo Shixin said that His Majesty asked them to be a model, showing that the Ming Dynasty governed Yunnan and Hanyi as one, regardless of each other. But you can't say that on your face, talk to the little girl about General Mu's kindness.
The little girl seemed to really think that General Mu was very good to them, and she was still talking about it, and she was still talking about it after buying dry food for a long time. The person who came with him, who was also Yunnan, had to say, "Girl, it's time to go, there's something else to do." ”
The girl patted her head and said, "Oh, I forgot." He turned back to Mo and said, "I can't talk to you, I have to go." Throwing a small object on the counter, he said, "I think you are very compatible, and this is for you." With that, he followed, and Mo didn't even have time to refuse.
