Origin Xiaolin Chapter 340 Small shop
Xia Lu, who was worried about everything, finally took Xin Huzi and went on the road according to the old lady's instructions. It's just that because of the good mood of being able to go to the state capital for a while, he was asked by Xia Xiang to ask for something, and the old lady asked him to bring something with him, and he fell to the bottom all of a sudden.
Although Xia Xiang, who later begged for things from himself, returned the tightly wrapped things. You don't have to think about it to know that the things that were sent must have been manipulated. But what else can he do? can only admit it quietly.
When the old lady handed him the things, he also knew what those two things were from the old lady's instructions. The same is an old letter written by the old lady in the name of the Xia family to the border army recruitment office. The other is the registration of Huzi as Jing County, the old lady's maternal relative. also knew that the old lady sent Huzi to the border army recruitment office of the state capital in order to get Huzi an errand as a border army scribe.
Not to mention that he listened to the old lady's orders. I was really a little envious, the old lady came as a guest. After all, the identity of that official can be regarded as a "fake official". Even if the army over there often fought with the Waihu, even he knew that it was a dangerous place. But Huzi is only a little older, but he is just a teenager. I went to the border army all of a sudden, and with the help of the old lady, I got an errand as a clerk in the army. That's naturally a step to the sky.
How is he in the house, and how is he relying on his status as an old lady's steward to run errands for the old lady. But in the end, he was just a subordinate in the house. How can it compare to this serious and powerful identity of a fake official?
I thought that I was in the middle of this errand to send Huzi to the state capital. Along the way, I was more with this one, who was about to go to the army over there as an officer, and the young tiger got close to each other. so as to pave the way for yourself to be out and about. But who would have thought... At present, the business of going to the state capital on an errand suddenly changed because of Xia Xiang's appearance.
He was also as early as yesterday, after Xia Xiang returned the things. I couldn't wait to open the package and read the letter and Huzi's registration in Jing County. This look is also cool in my heart... As he expected, the two things sent back had been tampered with.
Originally, the tiger was in the county, and he was the son of the old lady Wan's maternal relatives. was changed to the identity of a subordinate in the house. And the letter that was handwritten by the old lady earlier and was about to be handed over to the border army recruitment center has already been replaced with a recommendation post in the house. It is also written clearly in the post that Huzi, a subordinate from the Xia Mansion, went to the border army as a pawn...
Looking at the recommendation post, he really couldn't laugh or cry. was originally a good official, but in a blink of an eye, he became a military man. But these circumstances are really different. And this recommendation post is also very strange. The subordinates of that family in this state live impatiently. You want to go to the border army camp to be a soldier? Who doesn't know that if you enter the barracks over there, you won't be able to protect your head, and you will have to move one day!
Although the money in the barracks over there was a lot of money, it was really a hard job. Who is impatient, waiting to be idle in the old man's house, and looking for boring to drill into the border barracks?
Luckily, this errand... I can go to the state capital to do it. Although the errand assigned by the old lady has been lost due to two things, it is no longer like that. But this thing still has to be done... Alas! Thinking about it, I really can't stand the tiger. If you don't hand over the two things that the old lady gave to you. He will definitely be able to get the errand of a scribe, and he will be able to enter the army there as an old lady's grandfather. Naturally, it is indispensable, and several old men in the army take care of it. But that's good... Huzi suddenly became an ordinary subordinate in the Xia Mansion. The letter written by the old lady to the border army recruitment office has long been replaced by a recommendation post in the house.
With this recommendation post in the house, Huzi will definitely be able to become a border army. But even if you enter the border army, you are a subordinate of the house. Even if you are from the noble family, who will look at you? And most of those who served as border soldiers were from poor men. Either the family has no land and can't eat, or they are some lonely people who have no concern and one mouth. Some of them were even punished by the government in various parts of the state and sent to the border army... But it's really mixed!
I don't know what the situation will be like when Huzi goes like this....
"Tiger, tiger~ Let's go to the small shop in front of us, eat something and hurry, right?"
The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, and after looking at the road, he was full of joy, and after sitting next to Xin Huzi, he said with a smile. At this time, the two of them were sitting in the cart sent by the Xia Mansion to send people off. This saw that he had already left his own county and came to the boundaries of other counties. There is a small shop on the side of the road just in front of it. And I really didn't rest much along the way, just went to the small shop to have some food, and rested on the road.
Xin Huzi also felt that he was really hungry all the way. Then he nodded and replied: "Then let's go to the shop in front of us and eat something."
Immediately, Xia Lu commanded, the handle of the car. I parked the cart next to the small shop. Although this small shop is just a big mud house, several pergolas have been built in succession. But it's also quite a shop.
At this time, a few passers-by who had come earlier were also sitting cross-legged on the mats covered with straw mats, eating the food on the low table. Stone bricks are still laid on the floor where straw mats are laid in each shop. Even if it rains badly, the straw mat will not get wet because it is spread on the raised stone bricks.
Because it was almost noon, the passers-by had also arrived, so they should find a place to eat and rest. At this time, the small shop was quite lively. But the people in the store are all pedestrians. As soon as the car with Xin Huzi and Xia Lu came, a sharp-eyed guy in the store hurriedly greeted him out of the store with a smile on his face. When Xia Lu walked out of the car, he nodded and said, "This master~ What do you want to eat?" ”
Xia Lu, who got out of the car, was still the same, arrogant. While walking towards the store, he said: "Give the best wine and food in your store to the master~ The silver is indispensable for you~"
As he spoke, he casually lined up his sleeve, took out a few big coins and threw them to the shopkeeper who was smiling and following behind him.
The shopkeeper was busy taking it, and Xia Lu threw him a few big coins. But he was even more happy and said: "Thank you for the reward~ Thank you for the reward~ Wait a minute~ I'll make a pot of good tea for the master~"
Xia Lu, who had come to the store with his head, swaggered down on the empty mat. Xin Huzi and the handlebar style naturally sat on the mat where Xia Lu was. Compared with Xin Huzi's casualness, the driving style is a little nervous.
Although he and Xia Lu are the same subordinates in the house. But he is the steward of the old lady's side, and he is also a big man in the mansion who can't be provoked. Even if he occasionally has an errand in the house, he can act with this Lu Ye. He didn't dare to say a word in front of this Lu Ye. Along the way, he was the same as before, except for listening to Xia Lu's orders, he rarely said a word.
After a while, the guy who had just won Xia Lu's reward. Then he carried the pot of tea and arrived at Xia Lu's table. After diligently giving them separately, the three people sitting on the table put a small bowl on the table, and poured a bowl of tea for the three of them one by one. Then he smiled and said goodbye and went to greet another tablemate.
"Tsk! That's not a good thing! It smells like grass when you drink it. I guess there are some hay branches mixed in it. ”
Xia Lu, who took a sip of the hot tea in the bowl, sighed and said.
Xin Huzi didn't feel anything after drinking the tea in the bowl. He only came to Guanli, and the first time he drank this thing called tea was at Hu Fatzi's sister's house. To him, this strange-smelling object like a blade of grass is not just a kind of grass? As soon as he heard what Xia Lu was sitting next to him, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong. It's grass, but of course it has to smell grass. Or is it still grass?
"Man! You have everything to eat and drink in this store, and you have it all for me! ”
Just as Xin Huzi and Xia Lu were sitting in the store waiting for the meal. A burly man walked in from outside the store. This big man is about thirty-five or six years old, with a big beard and thick eyebrows and leopard eyes. He was wearing a coarse cloth coat that was slightly stained with wind and dust. The skin looks dark due to the perennial exposure to the wind and sun. He had nothing but a bulging burden on his back.
As soon as he entered the store, he shouted in his voice, but the sound was like a bell. couldn't help but let the passers-by sitting in the store at this time invariably look at him a few more times. But then they all ate their own food on the table.
Xia Lu couldn't help frowning after the burly man walked into the store. But he saw the boots on the man's feet at a glance. Although the boots were already stained with a lot of mud. But it can also be seen that it is a thing worn by a military man, and I don't know where this man came from. But he didn't like this man, and shouted in his voice when he came into the house just now. But he was startled, and almost drank the bowl of hot tea, which was about the same as a leaf of grass, in one gulp. If you really drink it in one gulp, you will definitely burn your tongue and not say it, can you please it?
I'm angry with that man in my heart, you can go into the store to eat and drink. When there was nothing to shout, the attentive shop guy also happened to be at this time to bring the meal to the table. Looking at a few meat and vegetarian dishes on the table, and a small jar that the shop guy put on later, he opened the mud-sealed wine before taking it to the table. Xia Lu couldn't help but nodded.
But I didn't look at this little shop. The meat and vegetable vegetables that came up here are good. and the mud-sealed liquor that was opened by the shop guy in front of him. Naturally, as soon as you smell the aroma of wine wafting out of the altar, you will know that it is good wine.
Immediately, Xia Lu swept away just now, and his heart was displeased with the man who walked into the store. greeted Xin Huzi and the handlebar style, and ate the dishes on the table.
