Chapter 13 Thousands of miles away, celebrate the New Year with the dead
CHAPTER XIII
The master has now become a little white face who eats and drinks.
Penniless, after being invited to a meal by Ruyun, he also picked a very comfortable room and spent the night of sleeping in bed for the first time in more than ten days.
The master is not a straight man, but he is very embarrassed to let a woman pay and forgive the master for not having the thickness of the city wall.
"Miss Ruyun, I broke the bill for you today, and I will thank you for your hospitality today."
For the sake of the food and the clean room, I should thank you until she didn't harm me.
"Master, this money is yours."
"This inn was built according to your orders, so there is no need to thank you."
It's mine! How so?
I'm going to torture a ghost.
On a dark and windy night in January, locking the doors and windows, someone sneakily pulled out the jade pendant from his neck. Find a Jinpa and rub it a few times. (Don't misunderstand here, just because the master found that if he rubbed the jade pendant, the dead ghost would definitely react.) )
Today, the Lord will set up a private court to eliminate harm for the people!
"How can you, a king's attendant and a young master of the general's mansion, think of such an unpopular business as a businessman! Say, "What is your intention?" ”
Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are on his lips, claiming to be a gentleman, and Zhou Xiaochuan, who is famous for his fame, will definitely not want to engage in business, his worldview does not allow him to be so depraved!
"It's just a lack of money."
He was not so high-minded, although he did not directly participate in business, but he acquiesced to Ruyun's behavior, and at that time, he was really short of money.
Looking at that face is a sign of insincerity, and if you continue to talk about it, you won't get any sincere words.
"Gone?"
If you lack money, everyone in the world will be short of money, and you alone Zhou Xiaochuan can't do it.
"What do you think is the reason?"
"I think you are not short of money, I'm afraid that you are the legitimate name of the lack of gold house!"
This master didn't wronged him. If you see what kind of charming woman the owner of this shop is, you won't say that the master has framed him. On that day, the restaurant where Ruyun was located in the capital, if it weren't for the young lady's rules and neat clothes, the master would definitely say that it was an indecent place.
This thing is embarrassed to say that there is no reason, and it is a deceitful ghost.
I said that where did he come from the name of this gentleman, there are no fox friends who came to visit him when he was sick, and now that I think about it, most of this head came out of the flower building.
Unexpectedly, this thin and small body is still lingering in the sea of flowers all day long.
Just this problem, still coveting the queen?
But this doesn't make sense, although I didn't have time to take a closer look at the queen's eyes that day, when I listened to the decree, I didn't squint, lest the king of the hall would see the clues. But I also know that the queen is a woman with a good appearance, although she looks good, she can't be regarded as having charm at the top, how can he like it like a prodigal son like him?
"Zhou Xiaochuan, didn't you rob the family team and get dazed that day?"
Zhou Xiaochuan (ghost) didn't say a word, but the look on his face showed that he was thinking about something. Although he still has no expression, it can also be seen that this ghost is depressed. Master, I'm not poking people back in the sore spots, and I will look at people's eyes, right?
He pulled the jade pendant around his neck, put it under the pillow, found a cloak to cover himself, and went out.
Leave a peaceful space for the dead.
"Outsiders can see ......"
There was only a sigh of a ghost left in the house, and it disappeared with the wind, and no one heard it.
The master dressed up in disguise just to find out the truth.
Ye was so chic that day, and he was hot-headed and wrote that resignation letter. In hindsight, I remembered that the one in the temple could have been handed me my resignation. What is the difference between the death contract signed by Ruyun and the dead ghost?
And if there is the slightest mistake in my move, the general's mansion will be full of people to be buried. Although the two elders are not my parents, they are also very protective of me, I can't bear to leave them, go away, but I can't bear to hurt their lives, so it is understandable that the dead ghost is angry that day.
Although this place is remote, it is not closed. The flow of information is smooth, and there is also a posting office.
But he didn't dare to take risks. So I found a small tea shop, ordered some snacks, and listened to the rumors in the streets and alleys while eating.
Nobody, the only place to be free is to chat.
"Lao Li, do you know the local rich man, his family gave birth to a son the day before yesterday."
"I also heard that Master Wang was so happy, he rewarded the crazy monk with a lot of money, and also said that the child's full moon wine should fill the full fifty tables!"
"Also, that Aunt Cao's family is a loser, and she blocked Aunt Cao, went to the drug shop, and if she lost, she actually escorted Aunt Cao to pay off her debts!"
"That! It's just a pity that Aunt Cao's woman suffers with it."
"yes, yes......"
"Okay, let's not talk about it, it's always bad to talk to women."
……
After listening to it for a long time, it really didn't involve the master. It's getting weirder.
There is no notice on the street to arrest the important criminals, it seems that the matter of resigning and fleeing has been suppressed for the time being, I don't know if Ying Yu deceived the king and did not report it, or the thoughts of the palace.
Ying Yu and I are friends in general, and I should not take my own life. It seems that there is only the person in the palace, I don't know what is going on in the General's Mansion now? Go back and write another letter and ask questions.
As for why this is so, it can also be guessed that when the year comes, all the officials must hope that the king will finish the year calmly, and those who find clues and think that the king, who has not taken the slightest action, will not hit the muzzle of the gun.
In the General's Mansion, the letter verifying Gu Yan's words and deeds has also been delivered, presumably looking at the letter, the second elder can also understand three points.
I'm just sorry for the ghost, I'm going to spend the New Year with me.
"Erxi, the lantern is slanted, to the left."
"Okay, master."
"Is that couplet a little lower?"
"Master, I'll hang you high."
"Aunt Liu, are all the melons and fruits ready? Tonight is the New Year's Celebration! ”
……
Zhou Xiaochuan watched the man and his subordinates working together in full swing. In just a dozen days, he actually got acquainted with the people in this courtyard. I can't be like him, as if I can talk to anyone.
This courtyard is like that.
The same is true of Castle Peak.
Aoyama is the person who has served me since I was a child.,I've always kept my head down and done things silently.,It's timidity to say a few words to him once in a while.。
The eyes that had never looked him in the eye.
My father is away all the year round, whether he is fighting or fighting on the border. The number of times we have met in a year can be counted on one hand. When they met, they mostly reprimanded themselves for their deceitful deeds, and they often broke up unhappily.
But he remembered his father's hand on his shoulder before leaving.
This is actually the closest action between their father and son in 19 years.
Over the years, I have not gotten along with the people around me as well as the results of this person's three months.
In such a moonlight, if there is wine, how good it would be.
"It's noisy in the house, so you came here to hide and relax?"
Zhou Xiaochuan sat facing the moon and was silent.
It's homesickness.
"The front hall is so lively, why did you run out?"
"Come out and let go of the wine, and look for you by the way."
"Hmm."
"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, I made a meal for everyone, and I will give you one by the way."
"What is this?"
Inside the plate, a plate of pasta shaped like a crescent moon. There's also a lot of heat around it.
"Dumplings."
"After eating, my ears will not freeze in the next year."
"What do you do with what I can't eat?"
"With—to honor you."
……
"Zhou Xiaochuan, thank you."
If it weren't for your light, it wouldn't be so comfortable.
Also, I'm sorry.
Looking at the steaming dumplings with a few traces left, Zhou Xiaochuan wanted to taste it for the first time.
"I'm sober, let's go in."
