Yu Gan (3)
Xue Ling has always been greedy for cold and heat, and the house in Xue Mansion is very simple, and he has never tasted ice in summer. It was a joy to see a bowl of amber ice particles fluttering.
She raised her head and wanted to compliment Tao Hongzhi with two sentences, although Tao Ji is a name, the sword is always disliked by the government, and the business is not big. Changing to other objects, Xue Ling is mostly inappropriate. Only the ice cube thing, she knew it was a rarity since she was a child.
Pingcheng has been cold all year round, and ordinary people have always asked for less than more for ice. It is the height of summer, and it can't be hot for a few hours, so ordinary people don't have the habit of storing ice. However, in the larger towns, Miss Childe is greedy and has to play some tricks.
Xue Ling has been wild all day long, and he naturally loves this kind of thing in the scorching heat, but unfortunately Lu Wenan is helpless. Ice storage is a big kung fu, and Xue Yihan doesn't allow it, he can't make a big ice cellar alone. If you want to buy, when it comes to the season, the price of ice goes straight to the sky, not to mention, in a small place like Pingcheng, it may not be sold in a few places.
Even if you go to the nearest Ningcheng, you will come back with muddy waters. So unless Xue Ling took advantage of the time to eat some in person, he wouldn't want to do it anymore. She was really hungry, but she smashed the ice in the middle of winter and mixed some messy things to taste two bites.
Therefore, this will subconsciously think that it is not easy for this surnamed Tao to have ice in the middle of summer, and it is too gracious to be willing to take it out to entertain her, please more, and it will be fun to rub two bowls in the future. Just didn't wait for her to speak, Tao Hongzhi grabbed the lead and said: "Slow down, it's not cold yet, I'm afraid it's a little sour." ”
Xue Ling's hand shook, and his mind was that he fled on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and was just fished ashore by Li Aniu. Aunt Li also squinted and smiled at her as she served the porridge, and shouted, "Eat slowly, don't burn it." ”
In fact, there is a big difference between the two, not to mention the huge difference in the identities of the two, and not to mention that Aunt Li speaks rough and simple, while Tao Hongzhi is delicate and modest. The expressions and tones of the two are also completely different. Aunt Li has a lot of love, Tao Hongzhi is just a gentleman, God knows how Xue Ling overlapped the two.
Maybe it's because the circumstances are similar, all of them are after a few escapes from death, and they are all long nights of lonely lights. But when the light is on, it turns into darkness in an instant.
Xue Lingqiang smiled and nodded, and the words she was about to say choked in her throat, as if to show that she had listened, she only took a small sip of tea soup for fear of being hot, which was a little sour, but it was okay. In the past, in Su Mansion, I drank a lot of this thing, mostly mixed with honey, but I don't know if Tao Hongzhi didn't know how to do it, or did it on purpose.
It's just that Xue Ling has lost interest in exploring, put down the cup and looked up again, obviously missing the joy, although he still has a smile, but he is very alienated and reluctant.
Tao Hongzhi didn't know if he really didn't see it, or pretended not to see it, the expression on his face didn't even change slightly, he still smiled kindly, he also took a bowl, put his mouth and blew the ice cubes in the bowl slowly, and said: "I should have added some honey, but this year's new plum is sweet, and when it is iced, it can dilute the original taste, so it is lacking." I forgot that Miss Xue is a person with an anxious personality, so she can't wait. If it doesn't fit, I'll call for some. ”
Last time, it was said that Xue Ling was in a hurry, and it was also the matter of poisoning. He sold a trick, and he clearly went toe-to-toe with Xue Ling's sentence "Gangsters do evil". If you do a lot of business, you can always practice a little bit of people's skills. Even though she didn't know what Xue Ling was doing, she knew that Xue Ling was competitive, probably because she wanted to tell some jokes to provoke her to think less.
It's a pity that this method was easy to use at the beginning, and it solved Xue Ling Yugan's predicament, but now it doesn't work. Hearing Tao Hongzhi say this, Xue Ling didn't reply, but saluted and said respectfully: "Don't bother, I'll pick a sword that is in hand." She raised the bowl, full of sincerity: "Trespassing is already a joke, thanks to a lot, and I was served tea, I dare not ask for more"
There is a difference between the words, and it is difficult for people to ignore it, Tao Hongzhi has to pretend that he can't hear it, but wants to cover it up. He knew that he couldn't force it, so he quickly changed his tone and said, "Where is it, Miss Xue is Tao Ji's big customer." Don't say that this small courtyard tea, I want to give up half of the shop in front of me, and be a shopkeeper in the future and hide for a while. ”
Although his words are still frivolous, they are mostly complimentary. Xue Ling didn't count the amount of money he smashed in Tao Ji, although Tao Hongzhi's words were still flattering, but he couldn't find anything wrong, and Xue Ling couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood. She didn't want to get too entangled, so she went down the steps and said, "When will it open?" If it's early, I'll ..... Come back later. ”
She hesitated, but didn't change her words. Tao Hongzhi is a person, there are no waves in the ancient well, and he can't see the depth clearly. But Xue Ling didn't want to take risks, and he didn't want to involve others too much. What you like or don't like is a vain.
"The guy in front of me is already counting, did someone send it to Miss Xue to pick? Or go and see for yourself? ”
"I'll just go by myself."
"Then you have to sit for a while, sprinkle a lot of dust. What is the collision, after losing Miss Xue's customer, the small shop will be closed. ”
It's like an excuse, but it's also a fact. If it's really the counter cleaning up, go and make a mess yourself. is sincere and reasonable, Xue Ling is not good at disobedience. Thinking about Tao Hongzhi's question, no matter how he answered, he was sitting here and waiting, but I couldn't see if he was intentional.
As for the last two sentences, the tone was not sarcastic, but polite, and Xue Ling just ignored it. Seeing that the crushed ice in the bowl had almost melted, he took a sip from the bowl and pretended to taste tea there.
Tao Hongzhi didn't seem to want to give up, so he didn't say anything, just chatted casually, nothing more than asking Xue Ling if he hadn't seen him for many days, where he went, and what he was embarrassed about. Xue Ling answered the truth and falsehood without a word, and the atmosphere was not as warm as the first time, but it was also very much in line with the identity of the shopkeeper and the customer.
Later, Tao Hongzhi tried to make some friends, and talked about the bottles and cans for Xue Ling, but Xue Ling also advanced and retreated in moderation, neither rudely nor giving him any good dealings. Until Xue Ling was slightly impatient, Tao Hongzhi said that the front desk should be picked up, and let Xue Ling invite first.
Xue Ling sorted out the crumbs of the snacks on the table, pushed the tea bowl back into the table, got up and saluted, "Thank you for the hospitality." ”
Tao Hongzhi also reached out in a regular manner: "Miss Xue, please." ”
Xue Ling stepped out of the door with his front foot, and the people from Jiangfu had just been led in front of Tuoba Milling. In the Jiang Mansion before, Jiang Hong said that three or five days was not wrong. As Xue Ling thought in the secret passage, the Jiang Mansion was not completely declining, at least it was much better than the Qi Mansion.
After all, on the bright side, there was still a Jiang Yuli standing in the Jiang Mansion, and Wei Long had to contain the Huo family at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and he also wanted to entrap the old ministers of the first emperor, so he gave Jiang Hong enough face. Although it is time for the bird to hide the bow after the position is secured, before the bow is hidden, it has to be carefully maintained with oil on the strings. Anyway, Jiangfu still has some good days.
It's just to find someone to go to Xianbei, but it's not easy to come. In the past, he explained that people were very righteous, and he suddenly wanted to send people to pass Hu, and Grandpa Guo was really a little embarrassed. I didn't dare to find outsiders for such things, so I finally tossed and went on the road.
No matter what the people who went to, this trip went well. Wei Long may have wanted to catch some evidence of Huo Zhuntong Hu in his hands, but he definitely didn't think that Jiang Mansion was going to make trouble. Even if Jiangfu grasps Tuoba Milling, what use can it have? Moreover, Huo Zhun can allow Jiang Fu to come and go with the Hu people under his nose, it is really a ghost in the blue sky and daylight.
And Huo Zhun was bargaining with Tuoba Milling, and the area around Ningcheng was his own territory, so he couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to intervene. The Jiangfu soldiers were in danger, so they picked two people to ride lightly. I couldn't make any movement along the way, and it was difficult to think about it. It's just that they didn't look good at the face of this Xianbei King after opening the letter.
Not only is it not good-looking, but the killing intent is clearly hung out.
