Chapter 37: Life is a Play
Wang Ran said hello to Lin Jiuniang and the others, walked out of the inner room to the front room teahouse, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the guests sitting at the table near the counter.
I saw three people sitting on the table, and on the right was a woman, although she only looked like a cardamom year, but she was ice muscle and jade bones, beautiful and incomprehensible, at this time she was bored, and from time to time she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then turned her dark eyes to think about something, as if she didn't care about what the two people next to her were talking about. Standing in the middle is a young man, with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like a star, and at this time he is eagerly talking to another man on the left, this man and a woman are Li Zongyu and Li Jin'er brother and sister.
Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man on the left, Wang Ran was a little surprised, because that person was actually Fang Zhicheng, a small official of the Bomai Division, who often came over to drink tea, so Wang Ran had a deliberate conversation with him, and it was through him that Wang Ran learned the location of the Peony Garden where Qi Yuanzhen lived. Could it be that the Li brothers and sisters have a relationship with Bomai? Wang Ran was puzzled.
Wang Ran was about to step forward to say hello, but found that Li Zongyu had also noticed him, only to see him raise his eyelids lightly and shake his head at him without a trace.
At this time, a group of guests came in the workshop, and Wang Ran saw that the other two running halls were busy, so he stepped forward to greet the guests, approached and took a closer look, and couldn't help but get nervous, because the six people in this line were all Qi Yuanzhen's personal guards.
Wang Ran was a little weak-hearted, so he lowered his head slightly, led the six people to the vacant seat, and then went to get the teapot as instructed, and after pouring the tea, he felt that they didn't pay attention to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed that he was a thief.
Wang Ran stood aside without a trace, quietly observing these people, but found that they didn't seem to be here to drink tea, but to secretly look at Li Zongyu's table, and from time to time they exchanged ears, Wang Ran pricked up his ears.
"Are you sure it's them?"
"It's hard to say, but they're suspicious. I just saw the pair of men and women stopping Fang Zhicheng from a distance on the road, the three of them didn't seem to know each other, but the young man was quite enthusiastic, and pulled Fang Zhicheng to talk, I felt that the figures of the man and woman were a little familiar, very similar to the pair of assassins before, so I quietly followed. β
"It's true that it's a bit like the pair of assassins who assassinated the king at the Sword Gate on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the assassins who infiltrated the Si Ya a few days ago should also be a man and a woman."
"Yes, just now I was queuing behind them, and I vaguely heard them claiming to be brother and sister, I remember that Lord Wang said that the pair of assassins were most likely brother and sister, so he hinted that Fang Zhicheng should not act rashly and continue to attract their attention."
"Okay, in that case, let's take it first, and let them go if they recognize the wrong person, but if it's really that pair of assassins, they will definitely resist, you guys prepare first, and wait for my order later."
"Whoa."
Wang Ran was shocked in his heart, but he didn't want to remind him immediately, so he wanted to quietly hint at the Li brothers and sisters, but Li Zongyu was facing away from him at this time, so he had to signal to Li Jin'er with his eyes.
Li Jin'er naturally discovered Wang Ran early, quietly looked at the corner of her eyes, and saw Wang Ran squeezing her eyebrows at herself at this time, she was a little puzzled in her heart, seeing his eyes rolling around, his nose and eyebrows were twisted together, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny, and laughed out loud, and then felt that he was a little out of shape, so he turned his head, no longer paid attention to Wang Ran, and whispered something in Li Zongyu's ear.
Silly girl, I'm not making a grimace to make you happy, Wang Ran is angry and anxious.
"Ready." The leader of the table guarded softly.
Wang Ran was so anxious that when he saw that the guards had reached out and grabbed the weapon in his arms, he couldn't help but shudder, so he had no choice but to step forward and block the guards behind him, and then shouted at Li Jin'er:
"Slut."
For a while, the teahouse was full of shock, and everyone turned their heads to look at Wang Ran, who was about to crack, and Li Jin'er was even more stunned, looking at Wang Ran in a daze, and even forgot to be angry.
Wang Ran saw that Li Zongyu finally turned his head, and hurriedly motioned him to pay attention to his back with his eyes.
Over there, Li Jin'er finally came back to her senses, and couldn't help but smoke from her seven orifices, and was about to rush over and beat Wang Ran, and shouted, "Who are you scolding?" β
Li Zongyu, who was thoughtful, hurriedly grabbed Li Jin'er, signaled her to calm down, and then opened her mouth to say something, but Wang Ran had already opened her mouth first.
"Sure enough, sure enough, who is he? Why are I so close to you? Wang Ran said to Li Jin'er "grief and indignation".
Does this disciple have amnesia? Or are you crazy? Li Jin'er said angrily: "He's my brother, you ......"
"Brother? Where did you come from, brother! I'm a childhood sweetheart with you, don't I know? I think he's your new lover! Sure enough, you really empathized so quickly, have you forgotten that this year's Dragon Boat Festival is still with me in Qingcheng Mountain Zhangrenguan for life? You said that you would wait for me in Chengdu, so that I must come to you. I sold all the land left by my father and mother to come to you, but I was told that you had married a new love, and went to the mountains and rivers with that person, I didn't believe it, I was waiting for you here, I didn't expect you to really see something different, you are so ruthless! Wang Ran's accusation of "tears" not only interrupted Li Jin'er's words, but also blindfolded her whole person.
What childhood sweetheart? When did I make a personal agreement with him for life? New love? Oh my God, what the hell is going on? Am I dreaming? Or am I having hysteria in my head? Li Jin'er fell into deep self-doubt, her eyes were distracted, and she didn't say a word.
Li Zongyu reacted first, and also pretended to be angry and said: "This benevolent brother, don't get me wrong, Jin'er and I are innocent. But don't talk nonsense, what is private for life, Huangkou children are just naughty, how can you take it seriously! β
Wang Ran was "trembling" with anger and was speechless in a daze. Looking behind him out of the corner of his eye, he was slightly relieved to find that the hands of the six guards had left their weapons.
Fang Zhicheng, who was sitting next to Li Zongyu, frowned slightly, and asked quietly, "Brother Li, are you and Miss Jin'er really not brother and sister?" β
"Well, hehe, the two of us are actually righteous knot Jin Lan. I am already married, my father-in-law's family is powerful, and my fiancΓ©e is also delicate, so I am not allowed to mess with flowers, so, hehe, Brother Fang, you know..."Li Zongyu smiled awkwardly and explained.
The tacit understanding between the brother and sister finally made Li Jin'er regain her agility, she rolled her eyes, turned her head and said to Li Zongyu angrily: "What? Didn't you say you weren't married? You lied to me? His eyes turned red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Li Zongyu was silent.
Li Jin'er's pitiful appearance made the whispering spectators around couldn't help but feel pity, looking at these three crazy men and women, savoring the love and hatred between them, I only felt that today's tea was too worthwhile.
The three protagonists also gave each other a thumbs up in their hearts and secretly praised their good acting skills!
Lin Jiuniang, who had been standing awkwardly at the counter for a while, saw that the three of them were no longer speaking, so she came up and comforted: "Lose your anger, go to the back room to talk, don't let people see jokes." β
As soon as they entered the room, Wang Ran turned around and lifted the curtain, secretly looked at the table guards, saw them look at each other, and then smiled and scolded a few words and left, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Wang Ran took a long breath and turned around, but saw a jade foot wrapped in cloud silk embroidered shoes was close in front of him, and with a bang, Wang Ran, who was caught off guard, was kicked firmly.
"Dengzi, who do you say is a slut?" Li Jin'er, who had just returned the pear blossoms and brought rain, was already with apricot eyes wide at this time, and said to Wang Ran viciously in a low voice.
I'm not here to save you, I don't know what to do, Wang Ran roared in his heart, but he had to hold his aching stomach that was kicked, and sneered: "I'm a slut, I'm a slut." "It's really too much to use this word to scold people, and the most important thing is that this girl's kung fu is too high, and she can't beat it, so she has to endure it.
