Chapter 21: Miss Loulan
What? You can't be thinking of ** me being a little white face, right? Look at me as an elephant? Although I look a little whiter, I don't eat soft rice!
Xiao Jiading's head shook like a drum: "A manly man, how can he use a woman's money?" Don't worry about where to live, with my ability, I still have no place to live? ”
Ya Niang was also drunk, so she blurted out this, and she regretted it when she said it, isn't this contempt for him? Seeing that although he refused, he didn't get angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I said it wrong, when you find a place, tell me, okay?" I'm going to see you. ”
"Okay. It's late and I'm gone! ”
Ya Niang's maid Qiaofan supported her, and Ya Niang personally sent him to the door of the Jade Building, and then reluctantly waved goodbye.
Although Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty imposed a curfew, in the following prefectures and counties, there was no curfew at night, and there were drunk customers who staggered and went home talking loudly in the dead of night.
Xiao Jiading was already drunk, and after soaking in the deep love and sweetness with Ya Niang, he sobered up a lot. So I didn't get drunk on the street and said that I returned to the inn smoothly.
The matter was done, and he got a stunning beauty, and he slept very soundly this time. Until the next morning.
He was sleeping soundly when he heard a knock at the door, and Zhu Haiyin's loud voice shouted: "Big brother! Is Big Brother up? ”
"What's going on?" Xiao Jiading's dream was disturbed, and he muttered a little angrily, got up and walked out of the back room, opened the door, yawned long, and said, "So early, what's wrong?" ”
Zhu Haiyin said with a smile: "Big brother, didn't you say it last night?" I'm going to go to the office today. I passed downstairs and wanted to greet you, for fear that you would oversleep and delay a little. Hurry up, it's still two minutes away. ”
"I only go in the afternoon, and I don't go in the morning."
"Huh? Is it? Oops, I didn't hear clearly last night, so I delayed your sleep. ”
"It's okay, it's good to get up early, I went to drink last night, I didn't eat much, and I'm hungry."
"Great, let's go to dinner together. In the afternoon, I accompanied my eldest brother to the Yamen. ”
"You're not going to the yamen?"
"If you don't go, I'll ask the servant to help me ask for a leave of absence from Judge Xu." With that, he turned and said a few words to the servant standing at the door, and the servant agreed and left.
Zhu Haiyin entered the house and said, "You go and get dressed, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring toiletries." ”
When Xiao Jiading got dressed and washed, he remembered the events of that night and asked casually: "What are you not doing with Zhong Wenbo, the first genius in Yizhou?" ”
Zhu Haiyin smiled and nodded: "Big brother can see it?" Yes, this kid is so crazy that there is no one in his eyes, I originally intended to slap him, but he actually wrote poems to humiliate me in public. It made me a big fool. I'm so angry that I want to die, but I have a father from the government office of Fa Cao, and my family has nothing but a little money. How to fight him. So, you humiliated him in public, and it was a revenge for me, and I am very grateful and admired. ”
Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "I didn't mean to humiliate him, it was he who was aggressive." ”
"He's just that virtuous. Forget it, don't talk about him, so as not to affect the appetite for eating. ”
After Xiao Jiading finished washing, the two left the inn and arrived at the door. Xiao Jiading asked, "Where are you going?" ”
As soon as he said this, he saw an old man coming from the opposite side of the inn, with a young woman, looking at Xiao Jiading happily: "Virtuous nephew! ”
Xiao Jiading looked fixedly, but it was the old man Xiao who helped him write the paper yesterday. followed by the maidservant Sanniang. Then he arched his hand and said, "Uncle Cousin." He also introduced Zhu Haiyin.
When Zhu Haiyin heard that it was the eldest brother's cousin, he hurriedly gave a salute.
Xiao Laohan returned the salute and said to Xiao Jiading: "Virtuous nephew, thanks to the pleadings you wrote, I went to the yamen in the morning to ask, and learned that the yamen had filed a case and asked me to listen to the greeting." ”
Xiao Jiading smiled and said: "That's good, I have already said that I will enter the yamen as a scribe, and I will go to the yamen in the afternoon." You're always happy, aren't you? ”
Xiao Laohan didn't know about this matter, and when he heard this, he was naturally very happy, and said continuously: "Great! Then there is hope for our case! - Sanniang, hurry up and congratulate the young master! ”
Sanniang behind him hurriedly stepped forward to owe the blessing gift, and said delicately: "Congratulations to the young master for his promotion." ”
"What a high ascension, just a little scribe."
Zhu Haiyin said with a smile: "Big brother can't say that, with the ability of big brother, this promotion is only a matter of time." ”
"Don't say that, there's no joke." Xiao Jiading said to Xiao Laohan: "You go back first, I will pay attention to the case." ”
"Okay, then it's going to be a trouble for the virtuous nephew! There is one more thing, can you also trouble the virtuous nephew again? ”
"What's the matter?"
"That's right." Xiao Laohan beckoned to a middle-aged man across the street, and the middle-aged man was happy, and hurriedly ran over, hurriedly saluting Xiao Jiading. Xiao Laohan said: "His name is Yu Gui, he is our neighbor, and he also went to the yamen to fight a lawsuit this time." He knew that my lawsuit was filed because of the pleadings written by you, nephew, and the yamen filed a case, and he felt that you had the ability to ask you to help write a pleading. Do you think it's okay? ”
Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "If you want to eat the board for someone to fight a lawsuit, Uncle Cousin, you are harming me." ”
Yu Gui hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't need Gongzi to write the form himself, the old man is also new to writing and ink, but he doesn't understand the criminal law, so I'm afraid that the lawsuit will be lost, so I want to ask Gongzi to help come up with ideas." The old man wrote it himself, he didn't dare to involve his son, and he was absolutely tight-lipped like a bottle! ”
"This is okay ......"
Zhu Haiyin on the side said: "Let's go find something to eat first, and let's talk while eating." Haven't had breakfast yet! ”
Yu Gui hurriedly said: "Then go to the small shop to eat, the dumplings and steamed cakes in the small shop are famous far and wide." It's right at the entrance of the small alley next to the yamen. ”
Xiao Jiading said: "Okay, just go anywhere." ”
Yu Gui is the young master of a large family, and he rarely goes to these roadside stalls, he originally wanted to invite Xiao Jiading to the restaurant for breakfast, but Xiao Jiading had already agreed, so he had to follow and came to this snack bar.
During the Tang Dynasty, snacks were called "snacks", so the plaque of this shop reads "Yujia Snacks"
It's not bad, this snack shop is very clean, but there are not many guests inside, but it's not bad, because this time is the end of eating breakfast, from the perspective of people, it should taste good.
Yu Gui led them all the way to a room in the backyard, which was quiet and unattended. Yu Gui's wife greeted them with a stammering smile. I personally used a wooden plate to send a variety of fragrant breakfasts, including steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, as well as Tang Dynasty Hu cakes, parent-child noodles and so on. There is also the restaurant's signature snack, which is noodle soup.
Xiao Laohan and the maidservant Sanniang didn't come with him, for fear of affecting their speech, so they said goodbye and went back when they arrived at the door. There were only three of them in the house. Zhu Haiyin looked at the food of these ordinary people with a bitter face, and had no appetite, but seeing that Xiao Jiading was eating very well, he had to take it up hard, but he hesitated and didn't know whether to eat or not.
At this time, a woman's crisp voice at the door said, "Daddy! You come out for a moment. ”
Yu Gui agreed and walked to the door. Zhu Haiyin listened to the voice very sweet, not only looked at it curiously, but when he saw it, he suddenly froze there, holding the bowl, staring at the door with his eyes.
At the door, a young girl in the flower season, wearing a coarse cloth dress, her slender waist was tied with a kudzu cloth belt, her breasts were not fully developed, she was combed into a double bun, her hair was black and scattered on her shoulders, her eyebrows were picturesque, her nose was straight, and her eyes were big and bright, like two purple grapes in water. The cherry lips are bent into a graceful arc, and the most impressive thing is her white and tender skin, deceiving the frost and snow, as if it is clear, and on the cheeks, there are two more faint pinks, exuding a mysterious atmosphere of the vast desert ,—— the atmosphere of the Western Regions.
Look at that appearance, it turned out to be a bearded girl from the Western Regions!
The strong prosperity of the Tang Dynasty attracted many people from the surrounding areas to settle here, including Hu people from the Western Regions. Zhu Haiyin has seen many Hu people, but he has never seen such a beautiful Hu girl! And in such an inconspicuous little shop. Zhu Haiyin felt that the whole room suddenly brightened.
Seeing that the girl finished talking to Yu Gui and turned around to leave, Zhu Haiyin hurriedly got up and chased to the door, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Yu, ...... is this girl?" ”
Hearing that she was talking about herself, the girl stood still, and looked back at Zhu Haiyin, who was smiling hippie, and Zhu Haiyin immediately felt as if she had seen an iceberg and a snow peak, which was so cold that it made him feel cold.
"Oh, this is the little girl, hehe."
"...... you, your daughter?"
"Yes, yes," Yu Gui seemed to know that Xiao Jiading had doubts about what Xiao Jiading said, and hurriedly explained: "Adopted daughter, adopted daughter." Huh"
"It's no wonder," Zhu Haiyin glanced back at Xiao Jiading, who was immersed in eating, and said to Yu Gui: "I said shopkeeper Yu, you are too bad at being a person, right?" When your daughter came, didn't you introduce my eldest brother? You're still asking him for help. ”
Yu Gui looked a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it was the old man who was negligent, Loulan, come and meet Xiao Gongzi." - Xiao Gongzi, this is the little girl Loulan. ”
The woman stepped over, bowed, and didn't speak, her expression was still cold, and she didn't even look at Xiao Jiading.
Xiao Jiading saw that she had a high nose and big eyes, she turned out to be a woman from the Western Regions, and she looked very blue and beautiful, like a blue moon, with an exotic atmosphere. In modern society, I have seen a lot of beauties from the Western Regions in movies and television, but they are not as good-looking as the one in front of them. Especially the skin, the milk-like whiteness, the long eyelashes of the eyes, are simply seductive, compared to Ya Niang, Ya Niang is the kind of charm full of temptation, and this woman is a kind of cold and noble gorgeous. is different from the graceful and docile of the Han woman, but her expression is too cold. It makes people feel too arrogant.
