Chapter 7 "Koto"

When it comes to the South, most people's first impression is of verdant greenery, and this is due to the abundant rainfall. Yesterday the sun was shining, but at night it was stormy. Listening to the sound of the wind whistling outside the window mixed with the sound of crackling raindrops hitting the tiles, the eldest grandson couldn't help but have some insomnia, and he fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.

The next day, Changsun Yu failed to get up on time. At dawn, the eldest grandson woke up, but he still didn't want to get up. At this time, the rain was a little lighter, but it still crackled on the banana trees outside the window. Put on your clothes and sit on the bed, because it rained all night last night, the temperature couldn't help but be much lower, and the cold air was wrapped in moisture.

Although he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, this weather made Changsun Tang a little lazy, and even made him want to continue to lie down and sleep again. In the image, I have been trembling for the past six years, and it seems that I have never slept back to the cage. This thought made Changsun Tang feel funny himself, his mental age was already in his thirties, but this body was still fifteen or sixteen years old after all. Just about to lie down and experience it, Zhang Zhong's voice rang out inappropriately.

"Childe, is someone looking for you?" After saying five words, Zhang Zhong's footsteps came. The eldest grandson knew that Zhang Zhong had gone to prepare toiletries for himself.

This Zhang Zhong, everything is good, but it's a little too wooden, and this is not the first time that Changsun Tang has complained. Zhang Zhong is like this almost every time, and he can remember the things he explains, but this method is inevitably a little ......

When Zhang Zhong's footsteps were heard again, the eldest grandson was already dressed.

After a simple wash, the eldest grandson went straight to the hall of the inn. Seeing that Zhang Zhong was a little speechless and embarrassed, Changsun Tang knew that Wu Jiangdong was coming.

In Changsun Tang's expectation, Wu Jiangdong would definitely come to find him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and it was in this kind of weather.

At this time, the inn generally occupies a relatively large area, and can also be used as a restaurant in the front, a backyard for people, and a place for men and livestock in the back. The name of this inn is not called Longmen or Youjian, and it is related to the local place name called Xinghan Inn.

The shopkeeper's face was full of red light standing in the counter, and there were all kinds of wine jars on the counter.

Perhaps because of the weather, there were two or three tables sitting in the hall that should have been deserted, with a few plates of unknown dishes on the table, and a few people were pushing cups and changing lamps.

The eldest grandson noticed that Wang Tietang was also sitting there, always looking tepid. Opposite Wang Tiedan, a thin figure was sitting upright, and his somewhat whitish robe was almost soaked, it was Wu Jiangdong.

The eldest grandson rushed over in two steps. Wang Tie got up and pulled out the bench next to him and put it away. Wu Jiangdong, who was drinking water, hurriedly put down the bowl that had just reached his mouth and got up to signal, but accidentally spilled the water, moistening the original place that was not very wet.

"No need to be polite, sit down." The eldest grandson gently pressed Wu Jiangdong, who had already gotten up, and noticed that the furnishings here were very different from those in the Chang'an Inn. Perhaps this place is not far from the Tuyuhun and Qiang Tibetan gathering areas, and there are already tables, chairs and benches that have just begun to become popular in Chang'an, and they are naturally also named "Hu Table" and "Hu Stool".

"Childe said goodbye yesterday, and he didn't tell me where he lived, so I don't know how to find me." It is impossible for Wu Jiangdong to hire someone to follow the three of them, so the eldest grandson asked this question.

"It's not a difficult thing, in this small place in Hanzhong, there are only three or five inns, and they have asked each other, it's just a matter of effort, and I'm more lucky this time, and this second one found the son." Wu Jiangdong didn't care, but he was a little ashamed that he forgot to ask the eldest grandson for his address yesterday and ran a little more wrong.

"Oh, that's a bit of a problem." The eldest grandson didn't care about it, but he thought of the weather outside and the almost **** clothes, but he admired Wu Jiangdong's character a little. The eldest grandson turned his head and instructed the shopkeeper, saying, "Shopkeeper, pick up a few side dishes and warm some wine, the weather is a little cold, and I am making some fire." ”

"Okay, I'll watch the specialties here be prepared, but what does this wine guest need? Our shop also produces rice wine from Yangzhou, which is the most suitable for drinking in this weather. ”

"Just look at it. Be quick! ”

"Great!" Xu is the morning hall generally has no guests, no Xiao Er, the shopkeeper has to go to the back kitchen by himself.

"It seems that the two of us are destined, and the three of us originally planned to continue to travel to Yizhou." The eldest grandson did not mention the money.

"People don't stay guests, and the weather is like this these days. I came out before dawn, but I was afraid that the three of them would rush in the rain, and there would be more money yesterday. Wu Jiangdong said his intention straight to the point.

"Oh, Madame Zun is better?"

"It's much better, it wasn't a serious illness, because I really couldn't come up with the money to be delayed, but I took the medicine yesterday but it was no big deal."

"Guest, the wine is here." Xiao Er carried a brazier, and on the brazier sat a small copper wine jug. "Three guest officers, this wine is a local specialty, and it is the most suitable for drinking in such weather, and the wine will soon be warm."

"Well, yes, it's true that Yangzhou Xie Village's rice wine!" Wu Jiangdong took a sip, slightly closed his eyes and slowly savored.

"Oh, what's the point of saying this wine?" The eldest grandson was not in a hurry to taste it, he was not very good at wine, and he remembered that every time the family kept the New Year, he would be ridiculed for this.

"This wine is made from locally produced glutinous rice with a secret recipe for koji, which varies depending on the season."

"And this?" The eldest grandson took a sip lightly, the quality of the wine was not tasted, but he felt that the degree was not too high, not much higher than the beer of later generations, he only now understood why the ancient times were used to drink wine in a big bowl, who used a small wine glass for two dollars to drink beer, don't you think it is troublesome to pour wine?

After Wu Jiangdong drank a bowl, he refused to drink it again, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Is there anything bad to say about Brother Tai?" The title of the eldest grandson to Wu Jiangdong has changed.

"Thanks to Gongzi's generosity yesterday, it was a big event in the future...... Wu Jiangdong picked up a bowl of rice wine that Changsun Tang had just poured and drank it all, without waiting for Changsun Tang to speak.

"In the lower ancestor was originally a person from Jiangdong, during the opening of the emperor, my father was raised as filial piety, came to this Hanzhong to be the county governor of Chenggu County in the east of the city, and offended a local ruffian during the unexpectedly great cause. During the Wude period, the dynasty changed, and the father's errand was handed over, and the whole family moved to this mansion city, but who knew that this ruffian had become the head catcher of Nanzheng County, the Hanzhong Prefecture, and found a reason to put his father in prison, and he had to get out of prison after the family went bankrupt, but he didn't want to fall ill because of this, and he died with his mother in a few days. In the past few years, the family has relied on the management of the insiders, and originally wanted to move back to the ancestral hometown, but this yamen refused to issue a road guide and could not make the trip, and the person was also sick a few days ago, but I didn't even have the money for treatment. After Wu Jiangdong finished speaking, he had already burst into tears.

"It aroused the sadness of my brother, but it was inappropriate, and I punished myself with a bowl." The eldest grandson was also a little moved.

"Well, don't mention it. All thanks to Childe, if it weren't for Childe, maybe there would be two more lonely ghosts in this Hanzhong Mansion. ”

"Brother Tai is serious, I don't know what else can I help?"

"It's already a lot of trouble. So I came to see Gongzi today, I thanked Gongzi, but it was rude to not thank Gongzi yesterday because of my emotional turmoil. I still want to trouble my son for one thing, but it's hard to speak. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"My current situation is a little bad, but it may take a long time for Childe's five-run money to be repaid, I don't know if Childe can tell the detailed address to repay the money, or work for Childe before and after the saddle until the money is repaid." According to Changsun Tang's words and deeds, Wu Jiangdong knew that maybe he would have to fall on Changsun Tang if he wanted to stay away from this Nanzheng County.

"That's right......" Eldest Sun Tang hesitated.

"If it's inconvenient, then forget it, and ask Childe to tell me the address." Wu Jiangdong was a little disappointed.

"That's right, I am the sixth son of the eldest grandson of Longxi, but I am a concubine." The eldest grandson told the truth that he had no ambitions, and his concubine was in a rather embarrassing position.

"This ......" Wu Jiangdong was a little hesitant, if he followed the concubine, he would have no worries about food and clothing at most, but he couldn't count on it if he wanted to hug his thighs, as for changing the court, it was more taboo, but thinking about his current situation, he could only agree.

In this way, the grass platform team of the eldest grandson was basically formed, although the housekeeper Zhang Zhong was a little stingy, although the head of the guard, Wang Tiedan, only had one arm and had not yet been put into effect, although this Wu Jiangdong did not look too reliable......
