Chapter 62 The Labor of the Retinue
"Jiang Ci, let's go, we have to find the ingredients by ourselves, and we won't be able to catch dinner when we come back later!" Tang Yu said to Jiang Ci in the room, Jiang Ci turned his head and agreed casually, and then looked at Wei Wei in front of him: "Follow Sheng Yi and Qingpao obediently, don't run around, you know no." ”
"Hmm!" She obediently agreed, but Jiang Ci was still a little uneasy, and she didn't know what this Yan old man wanted his entourage to do, so he instructed Shengyi and Qingpao for a long time before going down the stone steps with Tang Yu.
After the sons left Si Ya Pavilion one after another, Liu Run arranged all the entourages into the backyard, which was originally a cold and lonely courtyard, and suddenly became lively, startling away a few sparrows jumping on the brick floor, and flying up their fleshy bodies to the slender branches.
Everyone had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and some of the anxious entourages were muttering, and finally, a figure came, but it was Liu Run.
He smiled embarrassedly at first, then paused and said, "I've been waiting for everyone for a long time, and I just went to find Lord Yan, uh...... He has some urgent matters to deal with, so I'll lead the way. ”
In fact, the truth is that Yan Wen, the little old man, went to the Si Ya Pavilion wine storage room and secretly drank several pots of wine, and he had already fainted drunk, and Liu Run carried him back to the house, but after all, he still had to save some face for him in front of everyone, so he lied.
"Lord Liu, where are you like this, the little ones listen to you, and we can do whatever we need to do!" Wu Rong walked out of the team and patted his chest and said.
This Wu Rong is the entourage who came out to vent for him when Tang Yu teased Ye Xiujin that day, although he looks fierce and vicious, he is loyal and honest.
Liu Run just smiled, beckoned to everyone, and led his entourage along the dusty verandah in front of him, walked to a vermilion wooden door, took out a small and delicate key to unlock the carved copper lock, and saw the mansion that had been sealed for many years appeared in front of everyone.
It is an ancient house with one or three sets of two courtyards, although the vines have covered the delicate patterns of the embossed four corners of the eaves, the layers of hazy spider webs have also covered the wooden windows of the four sides, and the weeds and the verandah on all sides are at the same height, but even so, you can still see the magnificence and grace of the past here.
"As you can see, this is actually part of Si Ya Ge, and a hundred years ago, the number of people attending each Hundred Flowers Banquet was as high as 500 people, and these were the houses used to provide rest. After that, due to the large number of people and the need for large consumption on the supply side, the number of people was cut to 50 today, and these houses were vacant, but no one cleaned them for many years. ”
When the entourage heard this, it turned out that they were letting themselves do hard work, and the joy on their faces suddenly disappeared, but they had to nod their heads again and again, and after Liu Run's explanation, they left with small steps.
Seeing Liu Run walking away, the entourage pouted and dropped the broom in their hands, but at this moment, Liu Run somehow turned his head back, and the frightened entourage hurriedly picked up the broom that had just landed.
"Lord Liu, isn't there anything else you need help with?" A little entourage who still had a broken face, saw Liu Run coming to him, and immediately put on a villain appearance that greeted him.
Liu Run didn't pay attention to the person, just walked up to Wei Wei and the three of them, pointed at him and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot all the things that Lord Yan explained, but fortunately I remembered it, you three, come with me, Lord Yan has other tasks to tell you." ”
"Hey...... Lord Liu, what's the matter? ”
After Liu Run finished speaking, he stepped forward, and Qingpao hurriedly trotted to catch up with him and ask, but Liu Run did not explain, just motioned for a few people to follow him, although the three of them were puzzled, they still obediently followed Liu Run.
Several people were silent all the way, only the sound of hurried footsteps rubbed on the stone road, and when they arrived at the door of Yan Wenwu, Liu Run knocked lightly: "Lord Yan, the three subordinates of Jiang Gongzi who you want have brought it to you." ”
"Okay, you guys come in first." Hearing the sound, Liu Run pushed open the door and led the three of them into the house, only to see Yan Wen sitting upright on the Luohan couch on the side of the bed at the moment.
Liu Run rubbed his eyes vigorously, a little unable to believe that the dignified person in front of him was Yan Wen, it was clear that he was still drunk like mud when he left, how could he be as sober as ever after a while? The way he looks now, a few months ago, is normal, but after the "mutation" of his temperament, it looks very strange.
Yan Wen asked Liu Run to go back and rest first, and he went back to his house in a daze.
At this time, there were only four of them in the whole room, but the scene was silent for a while, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
However, Wei Wei's little mouth couldn't hold back, and he was the first to speak: "Lord Yan, why did you call us here?" ”
Yan Wen raised his closed eyes, looked at the three of them, and did not directly answer Wei Wei's question, but pointed to the two of them: "You still have you, stay." ”
"What about me! What about me! Although Wei Wei didn't know whether it was good to stay, he was a little anxious when he saw that Yan Wen didn't click on him.
"The old man left the two of them to beat his legs and pinch his shoulders for the old man, although these two people seem to be powerless, weak like a girl, but they are stronger than you, keep you...... What can you do? ”
Sheng Yi and Qingpao saw that they were compared to the girl by this strict old man, and they couldn't help but get angry, but there was no way to deal with it, after all, they were in other people's territory, so they had to silently persuade themselves in their hearts: This immortal will be a person of noble character and broad-minded god in the future, and it is not a loss of manners to deal with such a mortal with the naked eye.
Wei Wei was also stuck in Yan Wen's words, sucked his fingers and thought deeply about what he could help with for a long time, and he didn't jump out a few words after a long time.
"Do you know how to play chess, little retinue?" Yan Wen saw that she was in trouble, so he took the initiative to ask, but Wei Wei knew where to know these advanced doorways, so he had to purse his lips and shake his head.
Seeing Wei Wei's honest and lovely appearance, Yan Wen couldn't help but smile: "You are also honest and lovable, then you will stay, and the old man will teach you to play chess, how about it?" ”
After hearing this, she happily clenched her little fists and clenched them in front of her chest, and sat on the Luohan couch at Yan Wen's instructions.
However, because it is a small short leg, and the couch is a little high, the calf can't fall to the ground, and the little feet are dangling back and forth in the air, which is quite a girlish posture.
Subsequently, Yan Wen instructed Sheng Yi and Qingpao to bring chessboards, chess pieces, and some melons, fruits, and tea.
Wei Wei was not happy, he sat on the couch and played chess with Yan Wen, eating the honey-scented fruit, but the two little fairy children were unlucky, not only to help this old man Yan pinch his shoulders and back, serve tea and water, but also always grasp the strength in his hands, whether strong or small, he would be beaten by this "good man".
"It's all retinue, how can the difference be so big."
Qingpao lowered his eyebrows, numbly and mechanically pounded Yan Wen's shoulder, and couldn't help muttering a complaint, but he didn't expect to be heard by this old man Yan, turned around and asked, "Huh?" Looks like you have a lot of opinions, huh? ”
This Yan Wen, I'm afraid it's not a rabbit spirit, and his ears are so smart! Although Qingpao thought so in his heart, he said a lot of flattering words on his lips.
"No, no, where do the little ones dare, it is a blessing for the little ones to be able to serve our wise and brave Lord Yan! You see, is this force still comfortable? Seeing that he was muttering and complaining that he was caught, Qingpao leaned over a smiling face and patted his ass.
When Yan Wen heard this, he smiled again and narrowed his eyes with enjoyment.
Sure enough, this trick, whether in the sky or on the ground, is a common trick, and it seems that this "sycophant" is a popular character everywhere.
It's just a pity for these two little fairies, who were oppressed by the master in the sky, and now they have to be oppressed by mortals, this is really a pair of brothers in distress who are suffering and suffering.
