Chapter 385: Late Wine
The East Street is full of young girls with their own handkerchiefs looking for destined people, and those who are subtle cover their faces with fans and look at them carefully, if they are a little bold, they will directly take the handkerchief with their own names and walk around the street to find people, but fortunately, there are still family members who stop them so that there will be no jokes.
Lu Qingjin walked in the middle of the crowd and saw it very happily, and it took a long time to feel that something was wrong, and asked with some doubts: "I vaguely remember that there are a lot of men in the capital, why are there only these three or three at this time?" ”
A guard stepped forward and said with a straight face: "The begging festival usually starts at night, and except for some women who come in the morning, only the young master of the family comes to join in the fun." ”
Before Lu Qingjin could say anything, he saw Concubine Li, who was happily shopping by herself, and Concubine Li obviously saw her and hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "I know that you won't miss such a bustle, but I didn't expect you to come so early!" ”
Lu Qingjin said his doubts in front of Concubine Li without any scruples: "I've been watching it for a long time, why are all the people from the world clan who came in the morning?" Didn't the common people get up earlier? ”
When Lu Qingjin spoke, she didn't have the habit of lowering her voice, as soon as she said this, half of the people on the street looked back at her, Concubine Li smiled left and right, and said while pulling Lu Qingjin towards the corner: "Of course, it's because the civilians don't dare to come, look at these women, they don't get up early to marry a rich son!" Even if a civilian comes, it's useless, you said so loudly and be careful that someone notices you, if something really happens, I can't explain it to the emperor. ”
As soon as the words fell, a young man with oily hair and a pink face approached the two of them with a smile: "The two ladies must have come here at this time because the family is not going well, I am the serious son of the lord's family, if you have any difficulties, I can also help." ”
Lu Qingjin has been here for so long, but it is the first time that he has been teased, and he looked at the young son in front of him with some astonishment, Concubine Li said softly with a blushing face: "We are just here to have a good time, if you stop us again, your family will not be a lord soon!" ”
The young boy looked at what the two people were wearing, took a step back with some vigilance, hesitated for a moment or left, Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Lu Qingjin into the alley on the side: "You dare to come out alone?" There are many things in the capital that are customary rules for everyone, just like the aristocratic men on the morning of the begging festival can find the woman in their photo on the street at will and take it home! You're the most popular. ”
Lu Qingjin didn't expect that there would be such a rule, and touched her nose with some fear, she couldn't imagine that someone would recognize her identity surrounded by a group of men, and then the queen's reputation would really be ruined in her hands.
The two of them walked to the end of the alley while talking, and Concubine Li smiled wryly: "I don't come here often and I'm not very familiar with it, let's go back the same way!" ”
As soon as Lu Qingjin thought about agreeing, he heard the moaning of the old man and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from the courtyard gate that was opened in front of him, the two of them glanced at each other or decided to take a look, the dilapidated gate was opened with a creak, the guard stood motionless with his hands hanging down, Lu Qingjin came in and found that there was only an old man lying on the ground in this place, the old man's temples were white, his eyes were cloudy, and it was not long before he saw it.
Concubine Li took two steps forward and said with some confusion: "Somehow, I look at this person and I am really very familiar, but I don't know where I have seen him!" Don't just watch, help this person to a chair and sit down, this ground will be cold and die here in a while. ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the old man in front of him, and he was also very familiar, so he said casually: "I guess when we came out to see it!" ”
The old man lay on the chair and followed the voice, and landed with his fingers trembling, and Qing Jin let out a great wail: "I can be regarded as finding you!" I've been waiting for it! ”
Lu Qingjin subconsciously took a step back, but looked at the old man as if he had returned to the light, and hurriedly leaned over: "What's wrong?" Did the old man see me when he used to be? ”
The old man's eyes were no longer focused, but he still forced his breath and said: "You said that you will drink my wedding wine when you come back, but you haven't come back for too long, my wife is dead, and the wine is under the tree in the yard, you can have a good drink!" It's a pity I can't be with you anymore! ”
After saying these words, the old man closed his eyes as if he was very satisfied, Lu Qingjin squatted on the side in a daze and didn't know what to say, the guard stepped forward and touched his nose and said lightly: "It's out of gas!" ”
Concubine Li looked at Lu Qingjin's appearance and sighed helplessly and ordered: "You are divided into two groups, a group of people will find a coffin to put people up and find a place to bury them, and a group of people will go to the yard to dig out the wine." ”
The guards saluted and left, and Lu Qingjin only stood up at this time and sighed: "Somehow I think I really know this person, his face and voice are very familiar to me, but I can't remember it." ”
Concubine Li walked over with her to the big tree in the courtyard and said comfortingly: "There are many things in this life, we have to think slowly, it is impossible for the old man to wake up now, you better save your strength to find out what is going on!" I don't know if there is really wine, looking at the old man's age, this wine should be decades ago! ”
Lu Qingjin looked at Concubine Li's anxious appearance very funny, and even her sadness faded a lot for a while: "I didn't see that you were still a drunkard at the time, come on!" I think you can spend this begging festival alone with this jar of wine, so I'll go shopping by myself in a while! ”
Concubine Li hurriedly grabbed Lu Qingjin and begged for mercy: "Don't! It's easy for me to hand over the child to a reliable person just to come out and have a good look, but you can't throw me down, or I'll be all over the street saying that the queen is out of the palace today! ”
Lu Qingjin said in his heart what a mess, before he could reprimand, he saw a guard walking over with a huge jar, and there was a tattered word of joy on the porcelain white jar, and I don't know what it was made of and kept for such a long time, after the guard came over, he put the wine jar in his hand on the ground and said slowly: "It has been dug out, and the seal is quite good, but it looks like it has been at least twenty years, and I don't know if I can drink it!" ”
