Lights Like Day (8)

Shi Qi babbled there, this little prince of the Qiang tribe, when he talks about these things, he really looks like a little prince.

The five tribes of the Hu nationality have been constantly fighting among themselves, and the Xianbei tribe has been prosperous in recent years, and the other four tribes have been unable to raise their heads. The grasslands are connected to the Gobi Desert, and cattle, sheep and livestock are good for grazing, but they can't grow a grain of grain. People always have to live by eating! When God doesn't open his eyes, cattle and sheep die in pieces.

I wanted to rely on my meager savings to buy some surplus grain for the winter, but I was deprived of the right to buy it. What else can be done besides robbing? At this age, Shi Qi has long been fighting in the Qiang tribe, and no matter how much his father favors him, he has been on the battlefield since he was twelve or thirteen, and his human limbs and livestock hair flew around. It wasn't until he had his own land that he lived a few years of hard but peaceful life.

In the land where the water and grass are prosperous, he raises cattle and horses, his father and brother subsidize them, and then he whispers to curry favor with the Xianbei grain dealers, in addition to being said to be a wolf without teeth, he is also quite free. But the other tribesmen are not, they rely on one king after another to form tribes, and when they have the opportunity, they even rob their own people's things, and finally ask the emperor to come forward to administer justice. That's how the people in the land survive. Passed down from generation to generation, those who do not abide by this rule are easy to be eliminated, and those who remain naturally believe in whose sword is faster and whose horse is stronger.

He looked chic and free, but he didn't know which day, the wind and snow would bury the cattle and sheep, and the yellow sand would swallow the grass, so he would have to drink human blood.

Until, until someone came to let him grab the grain, the snatched grain could not be eaten in a year according to the previous way of eating.

But he was not satisfied, Shi Qi was embarrassed to say. He ate from the bowl and read from the pot, and no matter how thick the sheepskin cushion was, it made him sleep uncomfortably. He had to come to Liang. Let's see where all this food comes from.

The Liang Dynasty has not yet planted in spring, and along the way, there is still a pool of clear water in the farmland. When he entered the palace, he saw the bend of rice, peeled from the shell, and it was white rice. There is also a palm-long ear of wheat, and the palace man presented a steamed bun, saying that it was made of flour, he thought it was as hard as the bun he ate, and when he took a bite, he almost bit his teeth with strength.

"Ah Luo, the two countries will trade in the future." Shi Qi said happily, swallowing the sentence "Maybe you can see me when you come to Pingcheng" back into his stomach.

He talked about grabbing food with Xue Ling that night. Asked seriously: "Ah Luo, why are you robbing your own food?" ”

Hanmei should be the most beautiful with buds, but now it is the rest of the sky, and there is no snow to embellish, so the literati and ink writers can't look at it. But Xue Ling likes it, if life can be like a flower at this moment, without the need for others to judge, it would be good to be extremely beautiful. Shaking his fingers, the petals fluttered on the ground.

However, she can't be wanton at this moment, she doesn't know how to return to Shiqi, how to return to Shiqi, and her family is ruined?

Shi Qi saw that Xue Ling hadn't spoken for a long time, and said, "If you don't answer, forget it, everyone has an opinion."

The two of them walked in the woods for a long time, but each had his own agenda. At noon, Xue Ling carried back to the city.

There were a lot of people on the street, and Xue Ling didn't have any intention of riding a horse, so he wasn't so public, he still ate in Linjiang Xian, and chatted about some things.

After eating and playing, looking at the mess of cups and plates on the table, Xue Ling said: "I have done my best to meet the friendship of the landlord, and I will not accompany you for the rest of the day." ”

Shi Qi panicked, he was really happy today, he hadn't talked so much to people for a long time, and he thought that Xue Ling was also very happy, why didn't he come back and couldn't say anything, and hurriedly said: "I don't know anyone else in this capital, so you can't accompany me for a few more days?" ”

"Why aren't you busy with the affairs of the Karma clan in the palace?"

"My eldest brother will bear it all by himself, and it will not be my turn."

"I'm not as laid-back as you, I'm free every day"

"And when are you free?"

"This Beijing has called you all over the place! I don't have time to play. Besides, my father won't let me come out."

"He won't let me come out, I'll look for you, and I know where you live."

Xue Ling was taken aback, she said that she was the daughter of the Qi family, but she had never told Shi Qi where the Qi Mansion was.

“… The people under his command thought that was the matter, and went to find out." Shi Qi was embarrassed, and he also felt that this was not good.

Xue Ling's face changed completely, she just thought that Shi Qi just asked where the Qi Mansion was, and the co-authors had touched her courtyard. Someone came to explore their place, but they didn't notice it. I've been too lazy these days.

Shi Qi looked at her as if she was unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't tell you, it was the eldest brother who sent someone, so I went to your courtyard to go around, and I didn't do anything else, and your Han houses are also exquisite."

When you come to your own yard, it's not daytime, it's night. Probably didn't enter the house, so I didn't notice it? This Qi Mansion is really a yard of straw bales.

"Fortunately, there was no movement, otherwise my shuriken wouldn't have long eyes." Xue Ling waved his hand and said, it seems that this Mrs. Su is really reasonable, Shi Heng knows everything about Shi Yan, and if he is lured out under other guises, something will definitely happen.

Shi Qi was a little dismissive: "How much work can you have." He knew that Xue Ling was good, so he couldn't compare with the warriors sent by the Qiang clan to protect him. He asked another question, "What else are you doing to have fun?" I heard that you guys had a lively Chinese New Year's Eve, but unfortunately I didn't catch it. ”

His heart trembled slightly, but Xue Ling still spoke: "You are still there during the Shangyuan Lantern Festival." The streets were even more lively that day." After saying that, I went to get a cup of tea to cover up.

"But the Lantern Festival? I've read it in books."

"What have you seen?"

"The customs and habits of the Han people, those of us who are princes, always have to understand them, but we haven't experienced them."

"On that fifteenth night, you can go out of the palace to see. Guess the lantern riddles and see the dragon and lion dances set off with fireworks. ”

"Then are you coming?"

Xue Ling didn't answer positively, and said with a smile: "The Lantern Festival is a big day, and people of school age in Beijing will go to the street to put lanterns and ask for a favorite." ”

Shi Qi said eagerly: "That Ah Luo can be interested in someone." The meaning of the original meaning of the person is to settle the account with the person.

"I obey my parents' orders, matchmaker's words."

Shi Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since there is none, this king will accompany you to put a lamp and beg for it, and you will come early in the fifteenth day." ”

Xue Ling nodded and said, "Okay, the lanterns don't look good until it's dark." Come out later and wait for me downstairs here. Three moments, no see or disperse. ”

"Let's go, I'll send you back."

"No, I didn't bring a green gardenia, so I don't like it to my father."

The two went downstairs together, and Shi Qi waved his hand and said, "You can remember clearly, don't let this king wait."

Before entering the courtyard gate, Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Miss, you can go back, Su Fu sent good water spirit grapes, I don't mean to wait for you!" ”

There was a servant girl in the house that she didn't know, and Xue Ling didn't bother to ask, anyway, Mrs. Su's people were strange, and they were called every day.

"What's looking for me?"

"Madame said that Miss Luo'er would be more foolproof if she did it herself."

Xue Ling smiled sarcastically and said, "Didn't Mrs. Su look at Liang Liang's trade, and suddenly want to make money, and don't want to get involved in this matter." ”

"The girl misunderstood, what is there to make in front of her, Madame is not so shallow-eyed... She. ”

Xue Lingbao stepped forward, with a fierce light in his eyes, and interrupted the maidservant's words: "Then please do it cleanly, if I go, I can always leave something." ”

The maidservant didn't say anything more, but turned and walked out the door.

Xue Ling had no scruples, and shouted at the back:

"Remember clearly, three moments of unitary time, no one is gone."
