Chapter 35 The beauty of the small noodle restaurant is like jade

Last night, Yang Xueyi hugged Luo Feiyan's white flesh in the quilt and swore an oath, 'You are my most heartfelt baby, my lifeline.' ’

But now, Luo Feiyan has become a grain of rice stained on his clothes in his heart, and his most heartfelt treasure and the root of his life is the envelope on the table, which contains five thousand taels of silver, which is more important than his surname.

Yang Xueyi's eyes were red, he yelled and pounced, but Wu Jin gently kicked the chair, and the chair hit Yang Xueyi's leg, causing him to lose his center of gravity and roll to the ground, Yang Xueyi got up holding the table leg in pain, grabbed the table with one hand, but didn't catch anything, the envelope was carried into Wu Jin's arms, and said with a smile: "Yang Er is too polite." ”

"You bastard! Give me back the silver ticket. ”

Yang Xueyi gritted his teeth and got up, and threw himself at Wujin again, this time, Wujin kicked the desk, the desk overturned, and Yang Xueyi was pressed underneath, and the books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table rolled down and smashed on him.

Yang Xueyi couldn't move, he suddenly felt sad, and begged, "Uncle Wujin, please return the silver ticket to me, I am willing to give you half of it." ”

"Really? I'm really impressed! ”

Wu Jin shook his head and pretended to be moved, "Actually, I don't want your money, really, I actually just want to borrow a book." ”

"I'll give you all the books!" Yang Xueyi said weakly.

"But what if I don't have what I want in these books?"

"You..... What do you want? ”

Wu Jin picked his nails, he blew lightly, squinted at Yang Xueyi and said with a smile: "I want a letter, you know, use this letter to exchange for your five thousand taels of silver." ”

"Faith!"

Yang Xueyi was stunned, he understood, the incident of stealing Su Hanzhen's letter in the afternoon happened, and after a while, he stammered and said, "You ....... take what you say seriously!" ”

Wu Jin stood up suddenly, took out the silver ticket envelope from his arms and stuffed it directly into his hand, "Now you believe it!" ”

Yang Xueyi pinched the envelope tightly, as if he was pinching his own life, he looked at Wujin a little incredulously, did he just give it back to himself?

"Say it! Where is the faith? ”

"Letter..... I've already given it to Huangfuqu, and I can't get it back. ”

"Really?" Wu Jin asked in disbelief.

"Every sentence is true, I stole the letter in the afternoon, so I went directly to Huangfuqu's mansion with Master Cao, and gave him the letter, I am willing to swear to God."

Wu Jin shook his head and looked at him with pity, "I'm really sorry, I also found a letter in your bed plank mezzanine, you can ask the heavens for forgiveness!" ”

After speaking, Wu Jin got up and walked away, Yang Xueyi's eyes were wooden, and the letter he hid in the middle of the bed board could actually be found by him, suddenly, he took out the envelope with the silver ticket from his arms like crazy, tore open the seal and trembled, and floated out of it a white paper the size of the silver ticket, with a line of words written on it: 'A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. ’

Yang Xueyi let out a beast-like scream in his throat, and he fainted all of a sudden.

.......

Wu Jin returned to the pawnshop slowly, only to see Su Hanzhen writing on the table in the guest hall, the fifth uncle Huang Fugui stood aside with a roll of paper, his eyes were full of reverence, it was rare for Su Zhushi to come to the pawnshop, Huang Fugui naturally asked him to write a calligraphy, and then made a plaque and hung it in the main hall of the pawnshop.

Su Hanzhen has already written an inscription on a piece of Chengxintang paper: 'Confucianism helps business, the people are rich and the country is strong', and there is a line of small characters below, Su Hanzhen's inscription.

He saw Wu Jin at a glance, hurriedly put down his pen and strode forward, and asked him nervously: "How is it, have you found the letter?" ”

Wu Jin took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Su Hanzhen with a smile, "Is it it?" ”

"It's it! That's it! ”

Su Hanzhen recognized the envelope at a glance, he took the letter and opened it, sure enough, it was the prince's handwritten letter, he was so excited, he didn't know how to express his gratitude to the young man in front of him, but Wu Jin smiled and said: "You don't need to thank me, just take care of my brother more!" Let's see if it's possible to make him the head of Tocao. ”

Su Hanzhen nodded solemnly, "I will, I will definitely consider this matter seriously." ”

In fact, Su Hanzhen has also been looking for a candidate suitable for the head of Hu Cao, as his recommendation, to compete with other recommenders, Hu Cao is in charge of the financial power of Donghai County, this is also the prince's trust in him, of course he attaches great importance to it.

Wei Ming is undoubtedly the best candidate, Su Hanzhen originally took a fancy to Wei Ming at a glance, but half a month ago, Director Cao told him about the power pattern of Donghai County, and he knew that the Donghai Huangfu clan had always been Huangfu Qu's power territory, which made him a little hesitant, on the one hand, of course, he didn't want to make too many enemies, on the other hand, he was also a little suspicious of the reliable surname of the Donghai Huangfu clan, could it be Huangfu Qu's deliberate arrangement?

It wasn't until Wujin handed over the evidence of Huangfu Yibiao's embezzlement of eight thousand taels of silver to him that Su Hanzhen believed that the Huangfu family had broken with Huangfuqu, plus he and Huangfuqu had publicly turned their faces in the past two days, and Huangfuqu actually bought his staff to assassinate him, Su Hanzhen no longer had any scruples, he could let Weiming become his confidant and fight for him for the position of head of Cao.

It was precisely because he had made up his mind that he agreed to Wujin without hesitation.

Wujin took out another silver ticket of five thousand taels of silver and handed it to Su Hanzhen, "This is the five thousand taels of silver that Huangfuqu bought Yang Xueyi and handed it to the adults, who can use it to relieve the poor and weak, or help poor children to study, in short, it will be disposed of by adults." ”

The fifth uncle next to him grinned, what a stupid two, five thousand taels of silver! He doesn't take it out, who knows.

Su Hanzhen took the silver ticket, and he asked silently, "What about Yang Xueyi's bastard?" ”

"I guess he must have escaped overnight! Otherwise, how could he afford to pay the five thousand taels of silver from Huangfu Qu. ”

"Humph! It's really cheap for him. ”

He thanked Wu Jin, "Wu Jin, thanks to you this time, I will remember." ”

He nodded to Huangfu Gui again, "Thank you Huangfu for your hospitality, I take my leave." ”

Su Hanzhen turned around and left the pawnshop, but Wu Jin patted his stomach and smiled: "Fifth uncle, if there is any food, I am also a little hungry." ”

"I didn't eat either!"

Huang Fugui counted a few silver horns from the counter, he remembered the five thousand taels of silver, and said angrily: "I can't afford to eat a restaurant, I can only eat noodles, I know there is a small noodle restaurant nearby, let's eat noodles." ”

.........

The weather in early summer is changing, just now it was still moonlight, but now it is raining again, and they go out with oil-paper umbrellas.

The small noodle restaurant that Huang Fugui said is located in a small alley a few hundred steps away, and the pawnshop has been rented for several days, and Wu Jin is still here for the first time.

The noodle shop is very small, with a torn and old curtain hanging on the door, it is a low hut that has to bend down to enter, and there are only three old tables in the hut, a dim oil lamp, and an honest old man, this is the whole impression that the noodle shop gives to Wu Jin.

"Lao Zhao, let's have two bowls of braised pork rib noodles and two eggs each."

The old man seemed to know Huangfu Gui, and asked him with a smile: "The shopkeeper of Huangfu, do you want wine?" ”

Huangfu Gui was about to say no, but Wu Jin smiled and said, "Come to a pot of wine, it's best to have two more plates of appetizers." ”

The old man walked up with a limp and served a plate, in the plate was a pot of wine, a plate of pickled chicken feet, and a plate of sliced mutton with sauce, which was a place where Wujin had some regrets, and the Daning Dynasty would be sentenced to a heavy sentence for slaughtering cattle without permission, so generally restaurants can't eat beef, only mutton.

"You two drink slowly, I'll give you a go."

Huangfugui poured a glass of wine for Wujin, but he was still angry about the five thousand taels of silver, "Wujin, why don't you want the five thousand taels of silver?" ”

Wu Jin picked up his wine glass and smiled, "But it's only five thousand taels of silver, why should the fifth uncle be obsessed with it?" ”

"It's easy for you to say, five thousand taels!" Huangfu Gui's little eyes widened, he wanted to say a few more words about Wujin, but when he thought that the silver was gone, it was not interesting to say, so he couldn't help but be deflated, "Alas! Forget it, it's not there anyway. ”

Huangfugui took a sip of wine, and at this moment, a young woman's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, can you eat noodles here?" So dirty! ”

"I don't dislike it, come on! There should be no one now, I like the quietness of the place, the sound of rain in the alleys, and the atmosphere. ”

The door curtain was opened, a cool breeze with rain rushed to the face, Wu Jin couldn't help but look up, only to see two women come in, to be precise, a maid and a master, the reason why it was seen that it was a maid was because Ning Chao had rules in clothing, maids were not allowed to wear skirts, servants were not allowed to wear robes, only short clothes, maids were only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a green short jacket, and the lower body was a pair of green pants with water silk satin, slightly plump, she had a round face and white skin.

Wu Jin's eyes turned to the woman next to him, only to see that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, a high nose, and beautiful lip lines, as if she had drawn a lip line, rich and beautiful, especially her skin, the white jade was crystal clear, like a white jade beauty, her eyes were so sharp that she seemed to see through people's hearts, so that people did not dare to look at her.

The woman wore a yellow long skirt, a red shirt on her upper body, her hair was simply combed into a bun, coiled behind her head, a jasper hairpin was inserted obliquely, and bangs were combed, which gave people a very simple and refreshing feeling, especially when she wore a pair of bright moon earrings inlaid with diamonds in her ears, the light was shining, and she added a bit of mature charm to her innocence.

Although the girl was beautiful, her eyes were very cold, she thought that it was so late, there should be no one in the noodle shop, but there were two customers, which made her a little disappointed.

She took the umbrella and sat down at the table by the door, she and Zhao Laohan, who was cooking noodles, also seemed to know each other, "Uncle Zhao, come two bowls of egg noodles, a little less noodles, one bowl spicy and one bowl not spicy!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute, it's fine here."

Zhao Laohan scooped up two bowls of noodles first and brought them to Wujin, "Let the two of you wait for a long time." ”

Wu Jin couldn't help but glance at the girl again, and saw that she was richly dressed, and the jade bracelet on her wrist alone was worth at least ten thousand gold, and it was estimated that she was a rich girl.

But the girl never looked at this, she could see that she was not pretentious, but there was no one in her eyes at all, the maid was not bad, and when she saw that Wujin was looking at her, her face turned red.

Zhao Laohan brought them two bowls of hot tea, and asked her with a smile, "Miss, why haven't you even eaten dinner?" ”

"Don't mention it, I was so busy looking at the accounts that I forgot to eat."

She smiled on her face, and suddenly bloomed like a peach blossom, looking extremely beautiful, which made Wu Jin a little stunned, and secretly thought in her heart: 'Oh! It turns out that she is a businesswoman, and there is such a beautiful businesswoman, and she doesn't know where to open a store? ’

As soon as he was distracted, the chopsticks were accidentally knocked off by him and fell to the ground, he hurriedly bent down to pick them up, and quickly glanced at the girl's shoes, which were a pair of green onion green cloth shoes, well! The upper wasn't wet at all, indicating that she lived nearby.

Huang Fugui felt Wu Jin's gaffe, kicked him below, and pointed to the noodle bowl with chopsticks, meaning to tell him to concentrate on eating, don't look at other girls, Wu Jin's face was hot, and he quickly wiped the chopsticks on his clothes, and then lowered his head and ate noodles.

His small action of picking up chopsticks and peeking at her feet was discovered by the girl, her feet shrank into her skirt, and her eyes showed a look of extreme disgust, in fact, she saw them as soon as she entered the door, but she never put men in her eyes, and she hated which young man stared at her the most, and she heard Wujin eat noodles in a very loud voice, snoring, which made her a little disgusted.....

Although disgusted, but there is no way, this is a noodle restaurant, she has to pretend that she can't see anything, can't hear, unexpectedly, this man actually deliberately threw chopsticks on the ground to peek at her feet, so that she couldn't tolerate it, she hated it so much, 'How can this light man, like a fly, not even let others be at peace when he eats?' ’

In fact, it's no wonder that Wu Jin doesn't quite understand some of the customs of the Daning Dynasty, and deliberately looking at a woman's feet is one of the most rude actions in this era, which is no different from peeking at a woman's cleavage in later generations, especially everyone's ladies, their skirts are very wide and long, and they will be careful not to show their feet when walking.

The maid seemed to have seen Wu Jin, as if she was selling lottery tickets, she touched the back of the young lady's hand with her little fingertips, and wrote on the table with tea in her hand: 'I seem to have seen .....'

The girl was holding her stomach in her heart, she wanted to find a quiet shop to eat a bowl of noodles, to experience the taste of night rain in the small streets, deep alleys, dilapidated shops, kind old people, and dim lights and a bowl of hot noodles, and the drizzle, this is such a warm and romantic feeling, but there is a disciple in the store, ruining her leisure and elegance, she glared at the maid fiercely, the maid was so frightened that she quickly erased the words, and did not dare to speak.....

Huangfu Gui asked for a small bowl of noodles, he ate first, drank two glasses of wine, and then went to settle the bill, and saw that Wujin was drinking soup, so he asked him with a smile: "Are you full?" ”

Wu Jin put down the bowl and patted his stomach, "It's full, it tastes very good, let's go!" ”

Huang Fugui opened the curtain and went out with an umbrella first, Wu Jin followed behind, and glanced at the girl, the girl was eating noodles slowly, Wu Jin suddenly felt a cold wind blowing when he passed behind her, he was full of excitement, and couldn't help but burp a long breath and full, 'Hiccup-' The voice was loud and very pleasant, the girl's hand froze all of a sudden, she felt that the whole room was filled with the smell of this man, she couldn't eat it anymore, so angry that she slapped the chopsticks on the table heavily......

Wujin didn't realize it, opened the curtain and went out, Huangfugui was waiting for him in front, and when he saw him coming up, he laughed in a low voice: "Boy, Sichun?" ”

Wu Jin rolled his eyelids, "Who said that, I'm just curious, such a delicate young lady actually came to the small noodle restaurant to eat noodles, and I don't know whose family?" ”

"Don't try to turn around and ask, I don't know whose family she is, but I can see it, this young lady hates you, you will die of this heart!"

"Hate me? I don't think so, I think she's kind of interesting to me. ”

"It's less smelly and beautiful, you keep secretly looking at people like that, it's strange that people don't hate you, and they still like you? I've never seen a thick-skinned person like you. ”

"Maybe it's fate! She just likes it when I peek at her. ”

Wujin was in a good mood today, he didn't use an umbrella, he opened his throat in the rain and sang loudly, "The eldest sister of the Li family, I ..... you like him."

"Sick in the head!" A young woman's low scolding came from the small noodle shop.
