Chapter 158: The green years are still the same

Dongpailou Street on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Jinling City has always been one of the most popular downtown areas. The shops along the shore are lined up and open all night, and at night they will be hung with all kinds of colorful lanterns, which contrast with the brightly lit painting boats on the Qinhuai River at night. Therefore, in such the most affluent places, the servants who received the benefits of merchants and lightships would often make rounds.

But even so, beggars and entertainers are still emerging. Because passing by is either rich or expensive, as long as you can win favor or sympathy, one day's income is enough to live for a month. Therefore, some people bribed the servants to raise their noble hands, some people wandered around this winding street with a fluke mentality, and some people were desperate.

Today, on the street of the East Pailou, there is a spectacular scene of ten little girls who are all thirteen or fourteen years old, and their looks are all in the middle and upper class, selling themselves to bury their fathers.

If there is only one, maybe there are passers-by who are moved by compassion, maybe there are errand bullies who can't help but quietly start, however, now it is not one, two, three, but ten, which is enough for people with hearts to put away their covetousness and carefully consider the name behind it.

Just when many people looked at those little girls, a white horse with no stray hair on its body galloped like joy, and many people looked behind curiously, only to see that it was seven or eight horsemen shouting and shouting to follow, and for a while, most of the people on the street took the initiative to give way to the middle of the gallop.

The old white horse, with no one on his back, generally shuttled along the street, and finally stopped in front of a second-story street-facing shop, then raised his front hooves and sighed very humanely.

With this shout, the window on the second floor was pushed open at once, and the next moment, a figure jumped out.

"Well done, Snow White!" The boy who jumped from the window landed firmly on the horse's back, and then rubbed the horse's neck with a smile, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get out today!" ”

The next moment, a series of heads poked out of the window, and a middle-aged man led by him was simply wailing.

"Ninth Prince, how can you teach only half of things like this...... You taught us what Arabic numerals are, but this vertical multiplication and that table...... The household department has long begun to popularize these Arabic numerals to government houses in various places, and we businessmen will tell you that we have to keep pace with the times, right? ”

"Uncle Qin, I've been soaking in your place for almost two days, and the sun is going to set at this time, do you still want my grandfather or master to come to you for someone? If you have something to say tomorrow, I, as a teacher, will also take a break, won't I? ”

After saying this, Yue Qianqiu casually raised his hand, followed by a gentle shake of the reins and planned to go back. But almost at this moment, he only heard a few loud women's cries, followed by almost unanimous wails.

"The little woman sold herself to bury her father!"

The expression on Yue Qianqiu's entire face suddenly froze. And the seven or eight horsemen who were chasing the horse Snow White under him had already rushed over at this time, and seeing him stunned, one of the young men who was about the same age as him cautiously stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiu, I heard that there have just been ten ...... who sold themselves to bury their fathers on this East Pailou Street."

"What are you kidding, I just sent someone to the eldest princess last time, and ten people came out of the street to bury their father?" Yue Qianqiu only felt that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he yelled loudly without thinking about it, "Ying Xiaopang, you come out for me!" ”

With this sound, there was a brief pause in the otherwise bustling street. Immediately after, the teenagers beside Yue Qianqiu heard a lazy voice: "Oh, who doesn't know that our Yue Jiu Gongzi is anxious for justice and righteousness, and is willing to be benevolent, and all the men and women in the city call you Jiu Gongzi, and they dare not call you by your name." Didn't I want to take your reputation to the next level? ”

With this voice, a round face appeared on the third floor diagonally opposite. After a few years of hard work, the little fat man who used to be round and round is now a little thinner, but his body is still round and jade, but his eyes seem to be smaller. He blinked at Yue Qianqiu for a long time, and then immediately shouted without waiting for his head to react: "Close the window!" ”

Bang bang -

The sound of four windows slamming shut and the sound of several locust stones smashing on them sounded almost simultaneously. But even so, there was still a fish that slipped through the net, and there was an unconcealable scream from inside, as well as the little fat man's scolding with a bit of schadenfreude.

"I said that you should be careful and careful, and use your head to touch Yue Xiaojiu's flying locust stone, you don't think your life is long enough!"

After the training, Li Yiming's voice came from upstairs again: "All in all, the nine sons who are anxious for justice, righteousness, and charity, these poor girls who sold themselves to bury their fathers, please leave it to you." You can check it out carefully, all of them are absolutely fake, all of them are poor girls who have died of their fathers and have no support, so you are kind enough to find a home for them? ”

Several teenagers around Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the arrogant laughter of the little fat man in the building.

Regarding the arrogance of the dead fat man, Yue Qianqiu only raised his eyebrows, and then raised his voice angrily: "All those who sold themselves to bury their fathers have listened to me, I can pay for the coffin and the money collected in advance, but there is something I can tell you first." The girl I entrusted to the eldest princess last time is now studying silkworm reeling in the Yan family Zhuangzi outside Jinling City. ”

"Therefore, if you want to bury your father, I will advance money, and you don't need to sell your body, just pay back the money in the future. I'll give you three options. First, there is an embroidery workshop on Pearl Street that lacks apprentices, and they are covered with food and housing, but they are very tired from work, and people do not raise people who eat white rice. Second, on the Zhuangzi of Yue Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, two cooks with good soup are accepting apprentices, and they must be diligent and willing to work. Third, the eldest princess's nursery is short of people. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a huge discussion on the street. It was only at this time that Yue Qianqiu looked at the people on the left and right with a smile and said, "Even if I involve you, you can help me go everywhere to see what the regulations of these girls who sold themselves to bury their fathers are." Of course, if you look at the right eye and plan to take it home to be a girl, that's your own business, and it has nothing to do with me! ”

Some of the seven or eight teenagers smiled bitterly, some started to shout, and after a while, they dispersed. It was only at this time that Yue Qianqiu drove Snow White under him, slowly turned around three hundred and sixty degrees, and took in the scene in all directions, and then looked at the three-story building with the windows closed.

It has been six years since Yue Xiaosi returned to Beiyan. Six years have passed since the great war between the Northern Yan and the Wu Dynasty. Even he and the little fat man "fell out" for almost five years.

In that war, because of the timely response of the Wu Dynasty, the Northern Yan did not let the Northern Yan break through the defensive line in the early stage, and immediately followed, the Northern Yan caught fire in the backyard.

First of all, Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan, two generals who had been heavily subordinated by the Northern Yan Emperor, suddenly led a group of famous Northern Yan soldiers to return to the south, breaking the three strong Northern Yan armies intercepted along the way, which made the Northern Yan Emperor, who originally planned to drive the expedition in person, thunderous and furious.

But when Beiyan was busy chasing and intercepting that end, he didn't expect that the four families that had been rooted in Beiyan for decades suddenly took this opportunity to go south collectively. When the Northern Yan Emperor hurriedly sent troops and horses to intercept it, it was already too late. In addition, the Wu Dynasty responded to the border in a timely manner, and forcibly picked up a total of seven or eight hundred people from the four families. In the end, the battle of Beiyan to the south could only end hastily.

Among the teenagers around Yue Qianqiu before, except for Dai Zhanning and Liu Fangyuan, they were either the children of civil officials and military generals who rose in that war, or the children of the four families who returned.

Not long after these people entered Beijing, Su Shiqi, the new daughter-in-law of the eldest princess's mansion, invited the ladies of each family, and Yue Qianqiu naturally ran over to be half a master, and after getting acquainted with a group of children, everyone quickly played together.

Who is Yue Qianqiu? There are many hearts, many tricks, many backers, and after playing for so many years, even after "turning against the eyes" with the little fat man, he can still enter and exit the vertical arch hall, and the emperor just hates that the iron is not steel and "counts" him, for a while, everyone thinks that the eldest princess of Dongyang and Yan Xu have a big face, and his small circle is naturally very famous in Jinling City.

Just a few days ago, Yue Qianqiu was speechless to hear that the four little sons of Jinling were selected in the market, and he was at the top of the list!

"What kind of characters such as the Four Sons have always been, all of them are street goods that set off the hero's wisdom and martial arts!"

Yue Qianqiu touched the neck of his beloved horse and complained again, but what he got was a sigh of law. Snow White was carefully selected from among the royal horses in the palace and then asked for it. When he was given to him, he was still a three-year-old mare, but now he is nine years old, docile and no longer docile, and has a bit of a temper with outsiders, especially when he is called Snow White, he is only obedient in front of him.

"Tantrums again? When you first came running, could it be that someone bullied you? I know that you are a rare female man in the mount circle, with good endurance and explosiveness, but the name Snow White is very good, why are you not satisfied? ”

"Wow!"

"Brother Jiu!"

was exchanging feelings with the mount, and when he heard this, Yue Qianqiu turned his head to look, and saw that it was Dai Zhanning trotting over. Compared with back then, Dai Zhanning looks more quiet now, but only a few of them closest to him know that this guy always quietly comes up with bad ideas, and then sits and watches others to implement them, typical wilting and rotten!

"What's the matter, Ah Ning, you pushed your share of the job to Ah Yuan again?"

Dai Zhanning said casually: "The one on my side has been solved, and she promised to go to the embroidery workshop to learn embroidery." ”

Yue Qianqiu knew that today's little fat man was making this move, and it was not as easy as he said to solve it, but Dai Zhanning was the first to solve it, and he couldn't help laughing, but his smile couldn't be maintained for the next moment.

"That girl is also a very smart person, so she revealed a piece of grapevine. It is said that the prince of Jiawang walked into Beijing today through the south gate of Jinling City, and this East Pailou Street is the only way to pass. ”

Jiawang Shizi...... Isn't that the son of the emperor's adopted son? According to the generation, you have to call Uncle Little Fat Man?

Damn, I was almost fucked by that dead little fat man today!

He quickly weighed it and said in a deep voice: "Leave Ah Yuan, let's retreat!" ”
