Chapter 4: First Sight
In the blink of an eye, in the middle of summer, the scorching sun mercilessly scorched everything on the earth, and the earth was scorched and hot, as if it was covered by a huge steaming cage, making people breathless. But the business of the tea shop is getting better and better, and many people are greedy for this herbal tea and come here from all over the world.
Wei Jue is busy all day here, although it is hard, but he feels very fulfilled and relieved.
On this day, a special horse team roared into Gusu City from Qimen.
This Qi Gate was built by King Wu Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. In that year, the king of Wu broke Qi, and the state of Qi married the princess Yu Wu Prince Bo in order to seek peace. The princess of Qi is far away from her homeland and often misses her hometown, so King Wu Lu built this gate so that she can climb high and look at Qi from afar, so this gate is named.
It was the hottest time of the day, and the sun was so poisonous that the caravan stopped as it passed by the pantry.
"Man, have a bowl of tea."
It was a young woman's shout, and Wei Jue heard it, so he rushed over with a teapot and a tea bowl. Now, he is very skilled in pouring tea, and he fills the big tea bowl in a moment.
"Guest officer, you use it slowly." As he spoke, he was about to leave with his teapot.
"Wait." Suddenly, the seated guest said, "You're a fellow here?"
Just now, Wei Jue didn't care about the guest, and when he heard the words, he found that the guest seemed to be a woman.
This person is dressed in red, and her face is covered with a thin veil, and others can't see her appearance clearly, but from her figure, you can guess that it should be a woman. And beside her were a group of little ladies, who seemed to be her companions, wearing the same style of Hu clothes as her.
"Back to this guest officer, it's the guy from this tea shop below, what else do you need?" Wei Jue replied, standing still, he thought that this woman had something else to order.
After hearing this, the woman laughed: "I don't think you are a fellow here, but like a servant of the Wei Mansion." You tell the truth, but you sneaked out of there? ”
After she finished speaking, the pair of eyes revealed on the veil looked at Wei Jue.
Wei Jue was shocked, he didn't know how this woman found out where he came from, but listening to the meaning of this woman's words, he knew that the other party didn't really know him. Most of them saw something strange and deceived themselves.
"Guest officer, the villain is indeed the guy in this shop, and I don't know where the Wei Mansion you are talking about, so naturally the villain will not be the servant in the Wei Mansion." Wei Jue made up his mind in his heart, and refused to admit it, "Guest officer, if there are no other orders, the villain will retreat, please use it slowly." ”
With that, he wanted to walk away.
But as soon as he turned around, a little lady beside the woman in red stopped him: "Slow, my lady hasn't finished asking yet." ”
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Wei Jue had no choice but to turn around again.
Then, he heard the sitting woman say again: "You don't want to hide it from me, there is a guard on the cuff of your jacket, this is the mark of Suzhou Sima Weifu, I will not admit it!" ”
Wei Jue listened, and subconsciously looked at the cuffs of his shirt.
Now, the clothes on his body are no longer the blue and white Confucian shirt that he used to be, but a short dress with half an arm. This dress was indeed worn by the servants in the Wei Mansion, and there was indeed a small Wei character on the cuffs.
Seeing this, Wei Jue sighed secretly, this is really self-defeating. The Confucian shirt was inconvenient to work, and it was hot to wear, so he changed into this half-arm shirt, but he didn't think that there was a mark of Weifu on this shirt, and now it was still recognized.
The woman saw Wei Jue's small movements, and then said again: "If you don't tell the truth again, I will have someone kidnap you and take you back to the Wei Mansion, and let the people from the Wei Mansion come to ask you in person." ”
At this time, Yang Wu, who was looking at the fire, saw that Wei Jue had not retreated for a long time, and was puzzled, so he asked, "Wei Jue, are you okay?" ”
Wei Jue?
When the woman in red heard this name, she frowned, she felt as if she had heard this name, but at this moment, she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
"Fifth uncle, it's okay, this guest officer has to order something else, and I'll serve her."
Wei Jue replied to Uncle Li first, and then looked at the woman who was thinking about it and said: "This lady is indeed from the Wei Mansion, but she didn't sneak out, and I asked the lady to make it convenient." As he spoke, Wei Jue bowed and bowed to the woman.
"Your name is Wei Jue?" The woman finally remembered where she heard the name, "I remember that Wei Jia Saburo is also called Wei Jue, and he has the same name and surname as you, could it be that you are the Wei family Saburo?" ”
Although Wei Jue's name is unknown, this woman has a long history with the Wei family, so she has naturally heard of this name.
Wei Jue listened, and secretly said helplessly.
This thing came too coincidentally, but this woman knew the word 'Wei', and Fifth Uncle Yang called out his name at this time, and this woman had heard it, in short, all these things were extremely coincidental in one place.
In this way, Wei Jue couldn't go on, so he had to admit: "It's really Wei Jue below." ”
"It's good if you admit it, but since you're a Wei family Saburo, why do you want to work as a helper here? If you don't say it, I'll ask my aunt. The woman said, smiling, "Oh, by the way, my aunt is Mrs. Cui of the Wei Mansion." ”
The woman's threat of laughter gave Wei Jue a headache, and he knew that if he let his grandmother know that he was out as a partner, she would not agree. And this livelihood was hard for Wei Jue to find, and he decided that he didn't want to give up, and he didn't want to make it difficult for Fifth Uncle Yang because of this matter.
"The lady of the Cui family, I really have a hard time here, and I ask you not to tell your mother about this." As he spoke, Wei Jue saluted the woman again.
"You're so boring, why do you always salute me, it's really spineless." Seeing Wei Jue bending her waist again, the woman in red was a little displeased, "Speaking of which, you and I are also relatives, and I have seen your two brothers, and I have never seen them give such a big gift to people at every turn." ”
When Wei Jue heard this, his face turned red, and he wanted to say something, but the reason for this was too complicated, and he didn't know where to start.
If you don't have a backbone, you have no backbone!
In his heart, he said something to himself.
"Since you have a hard time, then it will not be difficult for me to be for you. I don't like you, but the tea is good. As she spoke, the woman took a sip of the herbal tea, "Even if you invite me, I will keep it a secret for you and leave." ”
Although the woman had a strong tongue, she was very reasonable, and after saying that, she got up and left the table.
Standing at the foot of the tea shop, Wei Jue watched from a distance as the woman turned over on a rouge horse, and with a shout, she left in a hurry as she came.
What is this called?
He said something secretly, and turned back to get busy again.
It was evening again, and Wei Jue said goodbye to Uncle Yang and returned to Weifu.
At this time, Lu Zhu had already brought the meal to the table and was waiting for him.
When he came in and saw it, he immediately felt that today was much more abundant than usual, so he asked Luzhu: "What's wrong today, why did you cook so many dishes?" ”
"It wasn't made by Aunt Mei, it was rewarded by the house." Lu Zhu explained with a smile, "Today, the lady of the Cui family came, and Mrs. specially ordered to do more, and somehow, it was actually assigned to our courtyard." Saburo likes it, so eat it. ”
Wei Jue's status is low, even if it is a New Year's holiday, others rarely think of this courtyard, and it is indeed strange to be like this today.
Wei Jue sat down, thought about it, and guessed that it was because of the Cui family's lady, and she thought that she was also a person with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
Thinking like this, he changed his opinion of the woman a lot.
