Chapter 6 Night Walk to the Lion Tower
Unconsciously, the night was deep, the joy of the people during the day had subsided, the sky above Yangwu County was shrouded in darkness, and the street was quiet, only a few idlers were still wandering around. Yes, I think that in this not peaceful year, it is a big problem for ordinary people to fill their stomachs, how can there be any nightlife at all. However, for those rich businessmen and magnates, this is not a big problem, no, in order to celebrate Wu Song's victory, the county magistrate was rare and generous, paid out of his own pocket, and ordered a table of wine and food for him in the Lion Building, Wu Song was also happy to be an uncle, what made people distressed was that Chen Wu, dead skin, had to follow Wu Song to rub rice, and he couldn't leave, "Forget it, it's better to go with my family's prosperity." Wu Song could only comfort himself like this.
Along the way, Chen Wu danced excitedly, "Damn, today can be regarded as a breath of bird's breath, boss, do you know what Badao Wu is like to coward?" I slapped this kid three times, he didn't even dare to put a fart, I knew this, I would have taken the girl from Dongping Village Ruhua, brother, I've been greedy for a long time. ”
Damn, how can it be like a flower again, why are these people's tastes so special, Wu Song secretly slandered, and quickly distanced himself from this fantasy and Ruhua's double stay, he didn't want to be scared awake by Ruhua in his sleep.
Soon, a big restaurant came into Wu Song's eyes, and it was really the "five-star hotel" in Yanggu County, only to see the blue bricks and gray tiles, the eaves and arches, the carved beams and painted buildings, and the two stone lions at the door were also carved lifelike, Wu Song thought, the momentum of this restaurant alone can make some people willing to pay for it.
Wu Song didn't want to think too much, so the shopkeeper greeted them and greeted them enthusiastically, "Oh, what a rare guest, Wu Duwei and Chen Dutou can come to our store, it really makes our store shine, two, the celebration wine for Wu Duwei has been prepared, please move to the second floor and sit for a while." ”
Seeing that this person was so knowledgeable, Wu Song's attitude also softened, "Where is it, then bother the shopkeeper to lead the way." ”
"Good, good," the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully led the way in front. After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground from the second floor, "You...... What kind of thing are you, Ximenqing, dare to disturb my Deng Tong's excitement. But there was unnatural timidity in his tone.
"Ximen Qing! Deng Tong?. Wu Song was taken aback. The shopkeeper had a clear look on his face, and when he confessed, he dared to go upstairs to persuade him.
"Boss, it's really fucking unlucky, let's go upstairs and see that I don't smoke these two guys who don't have long eyes." After saying that, Chen Wu also hurriedly went upstairs.
"Ximen Qing, right," a sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Song's mouth, and he immediately went up to see what kind of scenery it was.
There are a lot of tables on the second floor, it is estimated that there are more than a dozen of them, arranged in a "mouth" shape, and a large space is vacated in the middle, which is a major feature of the restaurant at that time, guests can listen to the artist sing a small song while eating, if the singing is good, the guest has his own money to reward, if the singing is not good, the guest is unhappy, it is not even a business to do.
At this time, there was a graceful girl standing in that position, with a few lines of tears hanging on her childish face, her jade-like hands clenched the corners of her shirt, and a four-stringed pipa was placed next to her. In front of the girl, two groups of people were tense, and the person on the left was in his early thirties, and he was quite handsome, but there was a femininity between his eyebrows, which made people feel uncomfortable, this person was not Ximenqing. As for the person on the right, he is a little younger, and his surname is Deng, and his tone is so big, it should have something to do with the old man Deng who was robbed.
At this time, Na Ximenqing spoke, "I said Deng Dagongzi, can you be so angry?" It's not up to you to decide who this little lady belongs to, don't be like the last time in Yichun Courtyard, obviously paid the money first and sat on the cold bench, but let Zai become the guest of the scene. With that, there was laughter from the crowd behind him.
"You...... You....... This person named Deng Tong was obviously poked in the sore spot, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Before the two could continue to quarrel, Chen Wu scolded as soon as he pulled his throat, "You two birdmen, you are really not interesting, you dare to disturb my leader's celebration banquet, don't you die." ”
Ximenqing and Deng Tong were confused when they were scolded, Wu Song didn't continue to watch the excitement, stepped forward, and bowed his hand slightly to the two of them, "In Xia Wusong, I don't know why the two of you are arguing here, since you are the governor of this county, you can just be a notary." As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Wu Song's body. There was surprise in her eyes, and the girl secretly looked at him with her eyes, and there was an indescribable meaning in her eyes.
Na Ximenqing was the first to react, got up and bowed, and said respectfully; "It turned out to be the captain of Wu Du, who bravely fought the tigers and captured the thieves, and he disturbed the captain below, and he confessed here first, today's matter is just a trivial matter, how dare you bother the captain."
Deng Tong on the side didn't buy it, "Ximenqing, what are you talking about, please be aware of it, it was the villain who fell in love with this little lady first, but Ximenqing snatched love with a knife, which made people angry." "I finally found an opportunity to fight back, how could Deng Tong let it go.
"Okay, Captain Bendu will deal with it impartially," Wu Song walked straight to the girl, "Since the Ximen official and Deng Gongzi like you so much, what do you think?" ”
The girl listened to Wu Song's words, bit her lip lightly, and replied timidly: "No, please listen to the little girl, the little girl is from Daizhou, and her father is a relative of the family who is going to Tokyo, but unexpectedly, when passing by Jingyanggang, her father was injured by a tiger and unfortunately died, and the little woman was alone and had to borrow money to bury her father." And because he has been familiar with musical instruments since he was a child, he sings here for a living, hoping to raise enough money to borrow, but today this Deng Gongzi and Ximen officials are going to forcibly accept the little girl, how can the little girl be willing to get it, I only hope that Du Wei can make decisions for me. Before the words were finished, tears flowed.
Wu Song looked at this pear blossom with rain face, and there was a trace of touch in his heart, and he had a plan at the moment, and said to everyone: "Since everyone is here to listen to the music, you might as well listen to this woman's wonderful sound first." After speaking, he greeted Chen Wu, holding a glass of fine wine, looking like Lao Tzu wants to listen to the music, don't bother Lao Tzu as a hooligan.
Deng Tong and Ximen Qing couldn't figure out Wu Song's thoughts, and when they saw him occupying the magpie's nest so unceremoniously, they had no choice but to find a place and sit down gloomily.
After everyone sat down, the woman also wiped away her tears, picked up the pipa on the side, and bowed slightly to me, "Let the little girl sing Liu Yong's "Yulin Bell" for Du Wei." The jade hand flicked lightly, and he was already singing sadly, "The cold cicada is poignant, and it is late for the long pavilion." At the beginning of the shower, the tent of the capital gate was ...... nothing. The beautiful girl's voice and Daiyu-like melancholy only stirred Wu Song's heart into chaos, and his abrupt emotions also arose. At the end of the song, the audience was silent, and they seemed to be immersed in this wonderful artistic conception.
"Okay," Wu Song was the first to speak, "Chen Wu, reward five hundred yuan." "You know, at that time, five hundred guan was not a small amount, and you could buy a small house, and now it should be able to help this woman tide over the difficulties temporarily.
The woman did not smile as Wu Song expected, but her cheeks were slightly red, and she said softly: "I don't know if the commander can take in the little girl, so that the little girl can have a place to go." As soon as these words came out, Deng Tong and Ximenqing were immediately dumbfounded, especially the old boy Ximenqing, whose face was very ugly, as if someone forced him to eat dog food.
Wu Song was also taken aback by this woman's boldness and straightforwardness, but he quickly reacted, instead of cheapening this kid Ximenqing, it is better for me to protect a girl, thinking of this, he deliberately promised in front of everyone, "Okay, there is a shortage of maidservants in the capital, I don't know the name of the young lady?" ”
"The little girl's surname is Li Mingjin, and the son can call me Jin'er." The woman smiled happily and replied generously.
"Okay, Jin'er, then you take the five hundred yuan first, find a house to live in first, and I'll come to see you later."
Ximenqing seemed to be unable to stand the love words between Wu Song and Jin'er, so he found an excuse to leave first. Deng Tong saw that Ximenqing was deflated, and he was so happy in his heart that he left happily after eating for a while.
Wu Song saw that it was getting late, so he went out of the building in harmony, leaving Chen Wu, the foodie, still gobbling it up.
Out of the gate, Wu Song looked at the shy look of the delicate girl in his arms, and greedily sniffed the unique girlish fragrance on Jin'er's body, and couldn't help but be fascinated. Jin'er saw Wu Song staring at her so fascinated, her face became more and more ruddy, her breathing became more and more rapid, and her shining eyes revealed a little nervousness.
Just when the atmosphere at the scene became ambiguous, a man's excited voice came from behind them, "Brother, let me find you." ”
