Chapter 22: Crickets in a Jar
The next day, the warm early sun rose as promised, putting on the makeup of the lake and mountains, rendering a dazzling color from the end of the sky, and the water surface sparkling.
The rippling soft waves carry a swaying bamboo raft, on which a fisherman wearing a hat and a cloak waving the wood pulp in his hand slowly sails towards the green hills on both sides of the river. In the depths of the mountains and forests, an eagle stretched out its wings with distinct feathers, and with a loud roar of the clouds, it pierced the sky and circled in Sheng'an Huadu.
In the Heming Courtyard of Jiangfu, Jiang Ci got up early in the morning, put away the brocade quilt on the ground very skillfully, looked at the meat-faced bag that was sleeping in a very poor position on the bed, and kicked the little feet of the quilt from time to time to move a few times like a baby.
Cut, you sleep comfortably now, and you feel good when Mama comes in a while, this son is an idler, and he finally regained his free body after half a month, ha! My son is going out and be happy!
While putting on his coat, he silently muttered in his heart, and after a few efforts, he tied his hair high, and randomly picked up a hairpin inlaid with white jade to jam a black hair, but he cautiously and carefully put on the left and right ring jade.
"The beauty of jade is like the virtue of a gentleman", "A gentleman has no reason, and jade does not leave his body".
Pei Yu is a matter that the sons of the family and the literati attach great importance to, and Jiang Ci is no exception, although he has always disliked to delve into these grievances, but after all, he is going to the Tang Mansion today, and this image still has to be paid attention to.
Originally, he had made an appointment to fight crickets with Tang Yu a few days ago, but because he was grounded by his father, it was delayed until today. You have to sneak out of the house like a thief, otherwise you will be caught by Prime Minister Jiang, and you will have to ask him again, if you tell him bluntly that you want to go to find Tang Yu, it will be over, maybe you will be grounded for half a month.
Tang Yu's father is one of the richest men in Sheng'an City, and his family has been a businessman for generations.
And his father is a shrewd and capable man, who can make careful calculations, and after he took over the head of the family, this gold and silver treasure, as if he was fascinated, took the initiative to jump into his family's treasury all day long.
But this Prime Minister Jiang is also a literati mind, and he has always regarded this businessman as an inferior industry.
Whenever Jiang Ci accidentally said something about the people of the Tang Mansion, Prime Minister Jiang would reprimand him angrily, and every time he would say such a sentence: "What kind of rich businessman, in the eyes of the prime minister, he is a peddler!" ”
I don't know if Prime Minister Jiang is so reluctant to see Tang Yu, is it really because the pen and ink in the stomach of the literati is playing ghosts, or because he is red-eyed when he sees that people don't have to get up early every day to touch the dark.
Anyway, every time you mention it, the sour smell in the air can sour your teeth.
"Black General~My little liver~Daddy is coming~"
Jiang Ci tiptoed towards the door, but was tripped by a ball of soft and fluffy things, and almost didn't kiss the ground.
"Oops!"
He subconsciously made a sound, and quickly covered his mouth again, and looked in the direction of the bed, the person on the bed snorted, turned his head, changed the direction and went to sleep.
Jiang Ci breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, if this guy woke up and kept asking where he was going, it would be troublesome.
He patted the dust he had just stained, and without looking back to see what had tripped him, he walked towards the Laude House where the people lived.
Anyway, since the flesh-faced bag arrived at the house, there will be strange things in the house every day, windmills, tiger head sandbags or something, and several times I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and stepped on something I don't know what it was, and sometimes there was a wailing auditory hallucination, and it was estimated that this time it must have been tripped by the gadgets she threw around.
He had only walked out of the courtyard a few steps before the soft mass that had tripped over it at the door came to life, and a pair of mournful eyes stared at his figure walking away.
"Meow!! This bastard! How many times a day do you have to step on this meow to finish! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! Wait for Ben Meow to complete the task! I'm going to scratch your stinky feet with my sharp claws! ”
The little pig meowed to himself, got up and followed Shang Jiang Ci.
After a while, he followed him to the Lauder Academy.
"Goo, goo!" He knocked lightly on the door of the second room that turned left after entering the hospital, glancing behind him from time to time, and learning the crow of a hen in his mouth.
After hearing the sound, a voice walked to the door: "Quack, quack!" ”
Well? Gone to the wrong channel? Is this the time to see the animals?! Will there be another "moo, moo, moo" in the next sentence?
As the strange duck cry fell, the door creaked open, and a thin face poked out of it, leaned into Jiang Ci's ear and said, "Young master, are you here, are you here to get that?" ”
"yes, just get that, what's up, it's okay?"
These two people not only said such a tasteless code, but also said some obscure words, and people who didn't know thought they were doing something illegal.
"Of course, young master, how dare you be sloppy about the things you explained to Qingqi, the little one does it every day according to what you explained, it is now, it is alive and well, and it has grown up a lot!"
Jiang Ci and Qingqi were like two women talking about their parenting experience at the door of the room, from eating and drinking to chatting about their living habits, drinking dew and eating tender flowers, I am afraid that they have raised a fairy in the house.
The little pig took advantage of the two of them chattering and sneaked into the house.
"Evil! These stinky socks are about to smoke Ben Meow! It wrinkled its nose and walked with a light cat's walk in disgust, its eyes scanning every corner of the room.
Finally saw the cricket jar engraved with jade lotus flowers on the cabinet, it jumped onto the cabinet, stretched out a cat's claw and pulled the lid on the jar, slightly revealing a very small gap.
"Black General, Ben Meow is here to save you, run away."
A beam of light thrown into the jar seemed to wake it up, and the body that was lying at the bottom of the jar seemed to have sudden strength, and the crickets in the jar straightened up, jumped out of the jar in a few clicks, climbed along the crack in the wall to the unfolded window, and flew under the peach blossom tree.
The two people at the door of the house heard a movement in the house, so they stopped the conversation and walked towards the house.
"Good! It's you wildcat again! What are you running for?! Get me out! ”
The piggy could have slipped away, but it didn't want it, this is the result it needs, and if it does something bad, of course it will be caught red-handed!
Before he had time to show Jiang Ci the "surprise" it had prepared for him, he was thrown out by Jiang Ci with the meat on the back of his neck, and with a deafening sound, the door was closed.
Meow! You stinky boy! How many times has Ben Meow told you, Ben Meow is not a wild cat! You're a feral cat, and your whole family is a feral cat! No! To say that you are a cat is an insult to our cat people! Ben meow recruits you to provoke you, see me throw me once, you have the ability to come out, don't hide inside, come out and we'll fight it out!!
The little pig crawled the door angrily and meowed, and scolded Jiang Ci in his heart, but it was a pity that the people inside didn't want to take care of it, but provoked the little guy in the room next to him to push open the door and throw it out of the courtyard without saying a word.
"I just woke up early in the morning, and you stinky wild cat just barked non-stop, rolling, and playing!"
The little guy threw the little pig on the grass, got up and clapped his hands, and no matter how the little pig cursed behind him, he went back to the house without looking back.
The little pig fried his hair angrily, gritted his teeth and went back to the Heming Courtyard with a broken face.
At this time, Jiang Ci, who was in Qingqi's house, took the cricket jar off the cabinet and held it in his arms, wanting to check it out, but because he had been gossiping with Qingqi for too long just now, he would not leave the house again, I am afraid that his father should go to the court, if he is caught, he will have to fight crickets again, and there will be no good fruit to eat!
"You've worked hard these days, Qingqi, I have to go first, and if I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, waiting for good news from me and my black general!"
Jiang Ci strode out of the door with the cricket jar, then stood on his feet, turned around and thanked Qingqi for a few words, and went in the direction of the back door of Jiangfu.
