Chapter 36: Crying at the Night Tomb
The two men on horseback were dressed in official clothes, apparently on a mission. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe horse's hooves are flying, the whip is turning over the flowers, and the people on the street are taking refuge on the side of the road.
"I don't know how to go home after eating, are you lacking eyes?"
Chen Siwei turned around and saw a middle-aged woman pulling Da Niu's ears and dragging him away, Da Niu raised his hand and shook at Chen Siwei: "Brother Qiao'er went to play with me at home." ”
Chen Siwei didn't dare to agree to him, because he didn't know when he would be able to return to the capital again, and if he was asked to answer now, he could only say that he hoped for the next life.
What you can't do can't be easily promised, Chen Siwei just smiled and waved at him, and kept looking at his figure farther and farther away, until he disappeared, Chen Siwei sighed lightly and turned around.
Looking back and finding that Jiu Niang had left without knowing when, Chen Siwei asked Xu Ping, Xu Ping didn't pay attention, he had been looking at the two fast horses.
"Master, those two officials don't look like they are from the yamen, I think they seem to be forbidden in the palace. Guards. Xu Ping felt that there seemed to be something strange in this.
"So what?" Chen Siwei didn't see any suspicions, the ban in the palace. It's not that the guards can't walk on the royal street, maybe they were ordered to come out to do something, which is normal.
"Look in the direction they're going." Xu Ping looked into the distance where even the dust had already dissipated: "They seem to be going to our Houfu." ”
"You guys?" Chen Siwei snorted coldly and sneered coldly: "Then why don't you hurry back and see what happened?" Chen Siwei squinted his eyes and spit out four words: "Butler Xu." ”
Xu Ping's spirit of ownership is really strong, and he forgot about it as soon as he was kicked out of the Houfu, do you think you are still the Xu Da Butler of Huai'an Houfu?
Chen Siwei took a step and walked straight towards the city gate, Xu Ping didn't dare to speak, so he had to follow quietly. Chen Siwei just got hit the board, and walked a lot barefoot, and his back hurt. His feet hurt and his feet hurt, but he didn't walk slowly at all, on the contrary, he was very anxious.
Xu Ping looked up at the sun, and persuaded with a sigh: "Master don't need to be in such a hurry, anyway, we can't go out of the city today, let's find an inn to stay for a night." ”
Chen Siwei didn't say a word and hurried away, Xu Ping thought that Chen Siwei was playing a child's temper, so he continued to persuade: "Master, even if you can get out of the city before you close the city gate, it will be dark when you leave the city, and we can't hurry." ”
He said whatever he liked, Chen Siwei ignored him at all, and passed by the money village Chen Siwei went in and found a dime of broken silver and exchanged it for a few strings of copper coins.
When he met a seller of cooking cakes on the street, Chen Siwei bought a load of cooking cakes and other things. Xu Ping didn't understand what he was going to do, but these things definitely couldn't be picked by Chen Siwei, and Chen Siwei didn't plan to pick them.
Not far away, there was another ready-to-wear shop, Chen Siwei went in and took two sets of green cloth clothes and two pairs of cloth shoes, and the two of them immediately changed in the house, and the hosta on their heads was also replaced by a blue handkerchief.
Walking to a small restaurant, Chen Siwei bought ten catties of sauced beef for the store to cut and wrap, and bought two roast geese. I also bought a huge sake gourd and filled it with fine sake.
Further on, Chen Siwei bought two large water naans filled with water from the well spring, and also bought two big straw hats.
Passing by the grocery store, he bought a jar of salt, two iron bowls, a small iron basin, and a knife.
By the time they had gone through the gates, it was dusk, and the gates were about to be closed. Chen Siwei ran forward, closing the city gate for an hour, and he didn't dare to delay a single minute.
As soon as Chen Siwei and Xu Ping walked out of the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate began to close the city gate. Xu Ping walked forward with his burden, and Chen Siwei stood on his feet and looked back at the slowly closing city gate.
He was stunned for a moment until the gates were completely closed, and then he blinked and came back to his senses. The city gate, which I once thought I would never be able to get out of in my life, came out twice in just ten days.
And this time, I'm afraid that there is no hope of returning, and he doesn't know if he is a little nostalgic or what, anyway, he stared at the city gate for a long time.
Dusk was very short, and not long after they walked out of the city gates, it was dark. After going out of the city gate, there was a long pavilion for ten miles, and a short pavilion for five miles, and they came to a long pavilion and stopped.
There is no village in front of you, and there is no store in the back. There is no urgency, no one will go out of the city so late, and it is destined to rush out of the city at this time.
Chen Siwei sat down to feel tired and hungry, he still had dinner with Bai Jingchen in the morning, and rushed home before noon, but he was inexplicably beaten and kicked out of the house, and the afternoon teahouse was delayed for a long time, and only now did he have the opportunity to sit down and eat something.
Xu Ping has been a housekeeper in Houfu for so many years, and he has never done any physical work in person, and he is tired of carrying so many things today.
On the way, he still complained in his heart about what Chen Siwei saw and bought, and then let him pick it, at this time he was grateful to Chen Siwei for buying so much food, otherwise he would probably starve to death.
He grabbed a cookcake and ate it, and after eating one, he went to catch a second. Chen Siwei stopped him: "You don't eat the roast goose and beef, what are you eating cooking biscuits?" ”
...... "Who loves to eat cookcakes?" Isn't it to save the good food for you? "I'll just eat the pancakes."
"You put it down for me, I can't put it away from the roast goose and beef, and the cooking cake can be stored for a thousand years after it is dried." Chen Siwei took out the wine gourd and two small iron bowls, poured two bowls of wine and handed a bowl to Xu Ping.
Xu Ping looked at him dumbfounded, he picked up the wine bowl and took a bite of 'Gu Dong', and then ate the beef without changing his face. Xu Ping can be said to have watched him grow up, and he has never seen him drink.
"Shi, ah, master, when did you learn to drink?" Hou Ye's family law is very strict, and Xu Ping can guarantee that Chen Siwei has never been exposed to wine.
"Now." Chen Siwei can't tell him the truth, and he doesn't believe it even if he says it, the wine Chen Siwei drank in his previous life is much stronger than this kind of sake.
Chen Siwei took a sip of wine, and finally understood why Wu Song could still fight the tiger after drinking eighteen bowls of wine, and he now has the confidence to come to a 'no three but hopeful'.
It turns out that there were no distilled spirits in this era, only brewed liquor, and the degree was extremely low. Chen Siwei smiled lightly, he could finally experience a booze.
"Now?" Xu Ping suddenly felt that he couldn't understand him, he seemed to have changed all of a sudden, he became very strange, the previous Chen Siwei was not so calm and not so mature.
"Well, it's cold after dark, how can you survive this long night without drinking some wine?"
After eating and drinking, Chen Siwei continued to hurry. The night was dark and quiet, except for the sound of the wind and insects, only the footsteps of the two of them.
Walking to a cemetery, I suddenly heard a woman's cry and whimper.
