Chapter 102: Eating White Food
"Twelve years, the city gate is open, there are not many lovers, black and white, orphans are mourning everywhere, poor white-haired men are bitter, and their children died outside the battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info God is pitiful, here is Jingyan Liu Houye, a gold thief, who sent rations, and lived the lives of thousands of people in Yandi. A white-haired old man leaned against the tea pavilion at the gate of Yanjing City, beating a broken drum and drinking a rough northic voice, singing to himself. After singing the song, there were seven or eight sparse people in the tea pavilion who were fifty or sixty years old, and they all applauded, and said loudly: "Lu Qi, sing another V!" Sing one more. ā
I saw the old man bow his head and take a sip of the tea on the table. pouted and said: "You cowards, you know that you are soaked in the tea pavilion all day long, you see that we are all people who are about to enter the soil with half of our bodies, why are we not in shape every day." ā
"Hehe, Lu Qi, you have a good relationship, your three sons have joined the auxiliary army of the Yongding Army, and both of them have become the leaders of a team, and the third son has two taels of silver for you every month. Where to find such a good errand, you just hum a few words every day if you are fine, and the life is so comfortable, what's the matter, don't let me get up too. An old man smiled and scolded at the old man named Lu Qi, who had just sang.
"Guo Laosi, you are a ball, I think I don't know, your son is also a first-class soldier, I heard that the first-class soldier is a regular army with a roster of the Yongding Army, and there are five taels of silver every month, I think I don't know, hey, I have three sons, but the three are not as much as your son's salary." Lu Qi said with some jealousy and envy.
"That's, don't look at what kind of person I was when I was a child, when I was a child, I could knock down your three sons in one piece. Otherwise, how can you be selected as a first-class soldier of the Yongding Army? Alas, but I heard my son say, the training of the Yongding Army is really hard, ordinary people can't bear it, when I first joined the army, my mother-in-law and I sent clothes to my boy, that day I was in the Yongding Army drill school field to see it from a distance, hey!! I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it! ā
Saying that, Guo Laosi smacked his tongue, and everyone was aroused by his curiosity and asked: "Say, say it quickly, why are you startled?" ā
Guo Laosi saw that everyone was looking at him, a sense of superiority arose, coughed lightly, took the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said: "You don't know, I saw me and a group of soldiers wearing iron armor, like an iron bump, holding a strange knife in his hand, seven or eight feet long, wielding a tiger and tiger, the sound of killing, followed by a burst of thunderbolts, scared me for a while." No wonder those gold thieves can't beat us. I see how many Jin people are not opponents of the Yongding Army. ā
"Yo yo, fourth, you just blow it, your whole body is covered in iron bumps, how do you see which one is yours? Could it be that you have the magic power of clairvoyance! I also went to the barracks to send clothes, who to lie, I thought I didn't know, the families of the Yongding Army have regulations, and they are not allowed to approach the military camp training ground, but I heard that you went to the quartermaster department to put down your clothes and left, where did you see the training of the Yongding Army. Deceitful! But don't say it, this Marquis Liu is really powerful, in just a few months, he has driven away all these hateful golden people. This Yongding army is really powerful, I don't think there is necessarily any army in the entire Great Song Dynasty that can have such a powerful record. Lu Qi said with a smile.
"Which one lied to you, which one is the turtle son bastard!!" Guo Laosi said angrily.
"Oh, stop arguing, don't arguing, they're all decades old neighbors, what's the noise. Pour more tea and go to the fire. "The owner of the tea pavilion is an old woman in her fifties, dressed in blue and white robes, although some of them are old and yellow, but you can still see that she was a handsome person back then, and this woman set up a stall here every day. So the old neighbors around also like to drink two bowls of herbal tea.
"The old sister-in-law of the Song family has spoken, I have to listen. I just like your herbal tea, Brother Song left early, you have been guarding this tea pavilion for decades, if you feel that the night is really boring, I will make a bed for you! Then Lu Laoqi gaged and said a meaty word, so I heard the woman laugh and scold: "Lu Laoqi, you are a lame coward, you are also happy and happy, if your mother-in-law is tearing your mouth." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed. As he was talking, he saw the neighing of horses outside the tea pavilion. When everyone looked out, they saw a tall young man dressed in a white robe, with a smile on his face, followed by a middle-aged literati dressed as a person, only to hear the man: "Look, I'll just say, first the three more they are waiting behind, there is no such group of followers, how happy, the province seems to have a tail." ā
"Lord, you got up early to see the warehouse, went to the ordnance superintendent, went to the military academy after changing the route, and now you have transferred to the government office, and your subordinates' butts are almost worn out." The middle-aged man said.
It turned out that this person was Liu Ping, and the middle-aged man was Nake. When he was complaining, Liu Ping scolded with a smile: "Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, when you are done with this paragraph, I will give you ten days off." ā
"Okay, thank you, lord!" Na Ke said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, give me a pot of tea." Liu Pingdao.
"Okay." The woman replied, and in a short time she made a pot of tea. The two of them were also thirsty, and they drank three pots of tea without much effort. Quenching his thirst slightly, Liu Ping realized that he hadn't eaten for more than half a day. Both himself and Nake were a little hungry.
"Auntie, what do you have to eat?" Liu Ping said to the woman.
"Young man, the food in our pavilion is a little shabby, only some cooking cakes and salted fennel." The woman was human.
"Is there any meat?" Liu Ping asked.
"There's some air-dried beef."
"Serve some." Liu Pingdao.
"Okay!" I saw that the woman answered, and with little effort, took a plate of beef and a few cooking cakes, plus a plate of brine fennel. The two of them ate unceremoniously.
"See, these two people must have come from other places to join the army." Lu Qi looked at Liu Ping and said to Guo Lao Si beside him.
"Pull it down, don't talk nonsense, I see that these two people are dressed so neatly, they are definitely people from rich families, maybe they are scholars, and they came here to seek errands, I heard that Liu Houye opened Enke on behalf of the Great Song Tianzi, I think these two people want to get an official and a half-job." Guo Lao's four heads are the analysis of the Tao. It caused everyone to nod.
Liu Ping heard a few old people behind him talking about himself, just smiled faintly, didn't go to his heart, the two of them were full of wind, Liu Ping burped and got up and said: "Auntie settles accounts" touched her clothes, and immediately embarrassed. It turned out that there was not a penny in his clothes, and Yang Sanduo usually brought money out, and he never worried about such trivial matters, but now he can't hang up, and he is also blushing when he takes it, because he also happens to have no money, how can this be good.
"Three pots of tea, seven pancakes, a plate of beef, and a dish of brine fennel. There are twenty copper plates in total. The woman laughed.
Liu Pingzhi, who was a little embarrassed, said: "Auntie, I forgot to bring money." I let my companion stay here. I'm going to get it. ā
The Song widow immediately had a cold face: "The small shop has a small profit, and it is not credited." ā
"Old sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed for these two people, I think they really don't have any money, I will give him this money!" It was Guo Laosi who was talking. I saw him take out a half-hanging copper coin and put it on the table.
"Thank you, father-in-law, I'll send the money over in a while. I'll give this thing to you. You take it, and I'll send someone to bring you money later. I saw Liu Ping stuff a wrench into Guo Laosi's hand. Guo Laosi had no choice but to accept it.
Liu Ping and the others were able to get out. went back to the mansion directly, and in the tea pavilion, Lu Laoqi smiled and said: "Fourth, you really know how to be a good person." ā
"I'd love to!!" Guo Laosi said with a smile. At this time, Guo Laosi's son came back. One question is a, and there is a half-day off. I haven't had time to change my military uniform.
"Daddy, where did this wrench come from?" Guo Laosi's son asked.
"Hehe, that's your dad tricked me." Lu Laoqi on the side said with a smile.
Uncle Lu laughed again. My father is an honest man, how could he do such a thing. Guo Laosi's son smiled.
"Don't listen to that old thing's nonsense, how can I deceive other people's things, this is just two people drinking tea at your Aunt Song, I didn't bring money, I paid for him, he had to compensate me, he had to give it to me." Guo Lao Sidao.
"Oh. So that's the case, Dad, let's go home, my mother is still waiting for us at home. Guo Laosi's son said.
"Eun, okay, go home, go home."
The father and son chatted for a while and were about to go home, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and a team of well-armored Yongding Army cavalry stood outside the tea pavilion, which made everyone in the tea pavilion shocked. Guo Laosi's son can see it clearly, these are all the guards in the palace.
"Which is Guo Laosi???" A man who looked like an officer of the Yongding Army walked in.
"Little Lao'er, I don't know what Shangguan commands??" Guo Laosi said tremblingly.
"This is the person who just gave you the finger to pay back your money!" The young Yongding army general said. A large ingot of silver was handed over to Guo Laosi.
"This, this ććć is so far too right." Guo Laosi stammered.
"Not much, you deserve it." Yang San said more.
"Yongding Army Mo Knife Battalion T-Shaped Team Mo Knife Player Guo Jiawang See General Yang Sanduo!!" Guo Laosi's son stood up straight suddenly, clenched his right fist and slammed his left chest, and gave Yang Sanduo a standard Yongding Army military salute.
"You're from the Modao Battalion?" Yang Sanduo looked at Guo Jiawang in front of him.
"Yes, sir." Guo Jiawang is colorful.
"How do you know me?" Yang San said more.
"Report to the sir, I was a recruit in your battalion during the recruit training." Guo Jiawang said.
"Yes." Yang Sanduo patted Guo Jiawang and said with a smile: "Well, yes, soldier, you have a very good father." Well done!! ā
"Yes, sir!!" Guo Jiawang is colorful. Yang Sanduo turned to leave. The eyes of the entire teahouse widened in astonishment. The sound of horses' hooves began. Yang Sanduo disappeared into the street with people. Guo Laosi asked a little puzzled: "Wangzi, who is that general?" ā
"He's Liu Hou's chief of guard! Lord Yang Sanduo. Guo Jiawang said excitedly.
After a while, Guo Laosi reacted. Marquis Liu's chief of guard personally came to send money to himself? Which young man?! Oops, it turns out that the young man is Hou Ye Liu!!
