Chapter Seventy-Six: Weaving and Mending Ao Mother-in-law

The king tossed and turned this night, and it was easy to wake up from a dream just after falling asleep, and he was enjoying the warm quilt of winter and was too lazy to get up,

I really miss the heated room, and I connived that there was no shortage of coal in the house, but the ancients did not have the habit of sealing the stove, and the coal was naturally extinguished when it was fully burned. Wang Bi always thought that he would have time to find a blacksmith and make a stove according to the habits of modern people, at least the temperature would grow a little.

The fire has long been extinguished in the morning, only the warm temperature in the bed, I really don't know if it's cold under the moon. If two people can hold it, it will naturally be much warmer, and in the midst of yy's waking up, he was screamed by He Libo.

Jumping out of bed but feeling the cold around him, he opened the latch for He Libo, and Wang hurriedly got back into the quilt: "I said big brother, you are too early." ”

He Libo sat on the chair: "It's not early, you haven't practiced for a long time." ”

Wang Fang only then remembered, not to mention the daily practice of the pile that Di Qing had supervised earlier, and even the Xingyi swordsmanship taught by Zhang Yi later forgot the moves if he didn't practice it anymore. Hurriedly got up with a grunt and got dressed. When the two of them came to the garden, and were moving their muscles and bones, the king saw He Libo absent-mindedly and thoughtfully.

A corner of the garden of Meyer's house has been converted into a slightly spacious place next to the king, enough to stretch his muscles, practice stakes, and walk the sword; Seeing that the muscles and bones were almost stretched, Wang walked through the swordsmanship, and his body was already much warmer, and then looked at He Libo, holding his own knife, and doing a right trick, but it seemed that his spirit was not so concentrated.

The king looked at him like this, and He Libo was just swinging his sword with the moves in his consciousness, and he didn't notice that he had already walked in front of the king. A white light came down from the knife, and he realized that there was someone in front of him.

Wang Benben didn't pay much attention, and suddenly saw that He Libo had already approached, and he jumped with a knife, and hurriedly blocked it with his sword, and only this time He Libo's knife was cut off a blade. Both of them were sweating with fright.

Somehow, there was a cut on the king's shirt. He Libo hurriedly wrote: "Brother, you weren't hurt, were you?" Wang also hurriedly insisted on whether he had hurt the other party. While looking at it, he said, "Big brother, what's wrong with you." ”

He Libo sighed: "I haven't told you all the time, I always feel that Li Enxi is not like a Liao person, nor is it like a Song person." ”

Wang Fang was immediately surprised, but he didn't seem to be too surprised: "I think she looks like a Korean, by the way, Brother He, how did you pick her up." ”

The two simply stopped practicing, and walked like a hall while chatting. He Libo said: "Didn't I say that I met my fellow villagers in Jizhou in Daliao before, and then I asked him to bring some household goods to my family, which will catch up with the heavy snow in front of the mountain, and I will return to the Song Kingdom." ”

"This eldest brother has mentioned it," said the king

"When I arrived in Mozhou, a woman shouted on the side of the road, and I saw two men pulling this woman, oh, this is Li Enxi. I was in a hurry and went over and beat the two men away."

"Then you didn't ask her why she was pulled?"

Of course, she asked, she said that she was forced to marry as a concubine by others, and she ran away from home. She also said that she was going to Bianjing to look for relatives and friends, and when I saw that she was pitiful, I came all the way. ”

The two of them walked into the hall as they spoke, breakfast had already been set on the table, and Xiao Lu and his wife and Yuexia were already waiting for Liu Qi.

The maid washed her hands with water, and the two sat down at the table with clean hands, and He Libo also stopped the topic just now. Seeing that the clothes next to the king were scratched, Yuexia asked, "How did you get this shirt?" ”

Wang said: "I accidentally hung on the tree, and I went back to find someone to change it for Liu Qi." Liu Qi stuck out his tongue.

Yuexia smiled: "It's just right, I'll go back and take it to the mother-in-law." The king looked at the moon while eating breakfast and asked, "Who is the mother-in-law?" ”

Yuexia smiled and said, "Don't ask, you have a lot of trouble." "If you don't ask, you won't ask, anyway, maybe it's a girl from a poor family.

Wang Bi took a sip of water and rice and said, "I think you should just go with my master, I think his "group head" is a successor." ”

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "If this is the head of the group is also hereditary, or if it is passed on to the next generation, Gongzi is the heir to the roots." ”

Rouge Tiger also replied: "I heard the maid in the house talk about this mother-in-law, don't look at the current down-and-out, regressive two or three years can be a well-known figure, it is estimated that if you see her when she was young, you will definitely not be able to eat." ”

He Libo picked up a piece of bun and asked, "But is it ugly?" ”

Under the moon fluttered and ignored him, Rouge Tiger said: "Look at who you compare with, it's ugly compared to the girl under the moon, if it's much better than me and Miss Li Enxi." Lu Shenyan stabbed her: "How to speak, what are you doing better than you, and better than Miss Li." ”

Rouge Tiger glared at him: "People are worried about Miss Li and haven't spoken yet, you have an opinion first." He Libo smiled. Lu Shenyan hurriedly said: "I mean, how can you compare with my tiger girl, no matter how good-looking that girl is, she can't compare with the three girls, at least her life experience." ”

Liu Qi put down the bowl and drank his small bowl of rice and said, "You don't care if the children are there, I'm going to read." As he spoke, he went out with his hands behind his back like a little adult.

Wang Bi shook his head: "You see that this child is used to the moon, I will quickly send it to Yuan Ze, this is like a **-year-old child, and it is estimated that Yuan Ze likes it like a little old man." ”

Yuexia smiled: "Isn't your stepfather so used to you?" She got to the point, but Wang didn't know how to reply, so he turned his head and asked: "How old is this mother-in-law, Xu Ren doesn't have it, it's better to tell Brother He." ”

Lu Shenyan and Rouge Tiger waved their hands together, "No, no"

Seeing them, the king was very panicked and curious: "Could it be that they have been disfigured?" ”

"Not really, but. Hi, the girl under the moon is sympathetic everywhere. Whoever has this needlework will be taken to the mother-in-law. Rouge Tiger said.

It turned out that this Ao mother-in-law and Gui Ying were originally a prostitute, and later met Xiucai Wang Kui. Wang Kui failed in the exam and was desperate. Guiying took pity on his talent, took it back to the brothel, gave the jade fan pendant as a token of love, and became husband and wife.

In order not to make Wang Kui abandon his studies, Guiying used his private savings for him to continue studying poetry. Two years later, he funded Wang Kui. Guiying was deeply affectionate and instructed Wang Kui to treasure the jade fan pendant. Wang Kui also swore to heaven that he would never change his mind.

The exam list was released, and Wang Kui won the title of the gold list. Unexpectedly, he was greedy for power and fortune, so he took the jade fan pendant as a dowry, entered the mansion of Prime Minister Han, and sent his old family to take a break with two hundred taels of silver and a letter.

This Guiying's resentment was hard to eliminate, and he actually hanged himself, and after being rescued, he seemed to be asleep, and he couldn't wake up.

Many people said that Guiying's out-of-body soul killed Wang Kui in those days, and since then the girl has stopped accepting customers and has survived by helping people weave cloth.

When Wang heard this story, he said with a smile: "I see that under the moon and my master Zhang Yi are going to make a group." ”

Yuexia said: "If this is the inheritance of master and apprentice, the head of this beggar gang is not yours yet" After speaking, he giggled and laughed.

Wang Beixin said, then I might as well get a dog beating stick and be the leader of the beggar gang directly. Lu Shenyan said on the side: "Today, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the day of the light mountain, do you want to go and see it later?" ”

Wang saw that breakfast was almost finished, so he said, "It's okay, just send Liu Qi over." ”

led Liu Qi out of the house and walked to Bianjing Street. Bianjing City since the year before the winter solstice, strangled mountain shed, standing wood is facing the Xuande Building; Donghua left and right gates, east and west corner towers, city gate avenues, and large palaces and temples, all set up mountain sheds.

The mountain shed is a tall wooden frame for the lantern festival, which is shaped like a mountain forest, so it is called a mountain shed. To the first month of the first month of the seventh lamp mountain on the color, the gold and blue shoot, the splendid and bright, the north is full of color knots, the above is also painted fairy stories, or the people who sell medicine and hexagram in the market

Seeing that Bianjing was being dressed up, and hearing that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor would also come out to watch the lanterns, and everyone was even more excited. Only He Libo was a little sullen. Rouge Tiger laughed at him, maybe he could meet his sweetheart at the Festival of Lights.

Wang sent Liu Qi to Yuan Ze, Yuan Ze liked it, it didn't matter if he was too young, the child was still full of eyesight, serving tea and pouring water, grinding ink and dipping pens, and even preparing a few books that Yuan Ze should read, everything could be done.

Wang Bi knew that this child had followed Zhang Yi since he was a child, and it was Zhang Yi who taught him to read and write, and to do these things, it seemed that he had already planned to find him a richer family to be a scholar when he was older.

Yuan Ze saw that Wang Bian was rare to be free today, so he wanted to pull Wang Bian to the street, Wang Bian had just slipped around a long time, and was too lazy to pull out his legs, Yuan Ze said: "You have to go to Jianzhou after the first lunar month, I specially helped you see the tea shop these days, and today I will take you to a place that we haven't been to on weekdays." ”

Hearing Yuan Ze say this, Wang Fang knew that Yuan Ze was always thinking about his own affairs, and he thought that he should think about going to Jianzhou to run an errand anyway. He promised Yuan Ze, and Yuan Ze said, it is better to call the Zhong needle together. He ordered someone to invite Zhongzhen to meet in the fairy cave.

This name Wang next to the first time I heard of it, but also recently is preparing to visit some street tea shops, speaking of this matter Wang also has a headache, he also heard that the Jianzhou prefect Cai Xiang has a very good understanding of tea, and for many years to pay tribute to good tea, even Emperor Renzong is full of praise, this suddenly let himself go to do not steal the limelight?

The two little brothers chatted while walking, and Yuan Ze said: "If you don't need to worry too much, Lord Cai is a Confucian scholar, and he doesn't do tea business, his tea is used to pay tribute, exclusively for the emperor's royal products, concubines, ministers, and guards in this palace, and it is not enough to count on that tribute." ”

Wang Jian was a little relieved when he heard Yuan Ze say this, and then said: "The day before yesterday, the emperor ordered me to provide fragrant cakes, and I am still thinking about it, I don't know how much this should be offered, and I am planning to go to the Internal Affairs Office to inquire about it in the near future. ”

Yuan Ze smiled: "Then it's even more right that I made an appointment for you today, he often goes in and out of the palace." ”

Wang Beixin said that he was confused, and he didn't ask the emperor about such a future. The two walked and talked and walked to the "fairy cave", which was really different from the tea shop they usually went to.
