Chapter 271: This Son
The two guards guarding the door saw that Liu Gongzi was walking away, but they returned to their posts one after another, and began to stand conscientiously.
Their patrol battalion, the professionalism is still here.
Apart from... When the steward of the house is not there, he will whisper a few words.
"You say, Miss Yaqi won't really be a childhood sweetheart with him, right? What's the use of being a weak scholar like this? I can hit ten by myself! ”
"That's what you don't understand. Other scholars can get fame, but that kid looked at Si Swenwen, maybe he also has fame, right? At least it should be a person or something, otherwise where would he have the face to find the fourth elder brother? ”
"Yes. Didn't the spring pop list a few days ago? Maybe you can still be a jinshi? ”
Thinking so, the guards all felt that they were more balanced in their hearts.
Those of them who can enter the patrol battalion are just ordinary backgrounds. But the victory lies in being able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and with the fourth elder brother, he may be able to get the opportunity to be promoted in the future.
Like Miss Yaqi, she has a face in the house.
They can think of three points, and they also know in their hearts, knowing that the fourth elder brother will definitely not agree.
As soon as the two of them finished chattering like this, they felt a little balanced in their hearts, but they saw that Liu Gongzi turned back from the direction of the teahouse.
"I'm still not going to drink tea."
Liu Gongzi's face was not very good, he thought about it, and said, "There are a lot of people in the teahouse, I'm still waiting here." ”
The two guards looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The teahouse, the two of them knew. Is there a lot of people in the early morning? No way?
Nature... It's not what Liu Gongzi said.
Liu Gongzi used to go in and out of the place, but the academy and home are two points and one line. Even going out to eat with classmates is very rare.
Mostly... It's just a noodle restaurant on the side of the road to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles with clear soup and little water for two cents. No matter how expensive it is, to be honest, the family can't afford it for him to study.
Liu Gongzi went to the teahouse, only to learn that the cheapest pot of tea cost fifteen yuan!
He's a good one!
You can eat seven or eight bowls of Yangchun noodles for fifteen yuan, and you can still eat the kind with meat...
Therefore... It's better for him not to drink tea. Just wait, wait until noon when you're hungry, and then go get something to eat.
His family background is not rich, so it is better to save a little.
...
Liu Gongzi stayed at the gate of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion all day. It wasn't until noon that the sun was too big to stand it and I went to eat a bowl of noodles.
Incidentally... I drank a large pot of tea at the noodle stall.
The noodle stall owner looked at the empty kettle after Liu Gongzi left, and his heart ached.
He's a small business!
Two pennies a bowl of Yangchun noodles, he almost always makes a little money. This patron is good, and he can drink water once he can get back to his roots. It seems that the next time he is busy at noon, he will have to pay attention to it.
What the? That seems to be a regular customer?
That won't work either!
I heard that I'm still a reader, why do you like to take advantage of others so much?
In the afternoon, the sun in the capital is a little big. Liu Gongzi chose a slightly shady place not far from the entrance of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, and squatted there waiting for Yinzhen to come back.
He seemed to regret it.
A pot of tea for fifteen yuan can sit for a day, and it seems that you can still eat some melon seeds.
The most important thing is...
At noon, in order to prevent him from being able to drink water, he drank a large pot. Now I want to go to the toilet, and I don't know where to go.
My stomach is really swollen, and I really can't hold it anymore.
"Two big brothers..."
Finally... Liu Gongzi really couldn't hold it back. He went forward very uncomfortably, and came to the two guards who were guarding the door.
"I'm... Can you lend me the thatched house in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion? ”
Liu Gongziban bent over and covered his stomach with his hands, looking uncomfortable.
"You are..."
The two guards looked at Liu Gongzi's look on his face, and looked at his movements, so they also guessed a little bit what his situation was.
"I'm sick to my stomach! I drank too much water when I ate at noon, which..."
Just around the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, he doesn't know where to let him go to the toilet!
You can't just find a corner and solve it, right?
Not to mention that he is a scholar who can't do such a thing. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone saw it later?
"No, no, no."
Seeing Liu Gongzi like this, the two guards said directly without thinking: "The toilet in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, where can people be allowed to enter casually?" ”
"I'll tell you, there's a teahouse in front of you, so you better go there!"
Liu Gongzi was greatly embarrassed when he heard this.
Earlier, when he had passed, he had found a place to sit down. I took the menu and was ordering tea to drink, but when I saw the price above, I walked away.
He still remembers the way the guy in the store looked at him at that time.
Seems... It is full of contempt.
He really didn't want to go in and borrow someone's latrine anymore.
"Two big brothers, can't they really be accommodating?" Liu Gongzi looked at the towering courtyard wall of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, and really felt that he couldn't hold it back.
"It's really not that we don't want to be accommodating, but it's really not okay."
The two guards are still principled. Knowing that at such a time, you can't just say yes.
Liu Gongzi was silent, and reluctantly turned around before returning to the teahouse.
At the door of the teahouse, the shopkeeper was shouting at the guests who came and went. Seeing that Liu Gongzi came over directly, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"This son, but you're here for tea?"
The shopkeeper was smiling, and his attitude was very good.
"I..."
Liu Gongzi recognized this shopkeeper. In the early morning, isn't it the second person in this shop who entertains himself? That gaze with a bit of disdain also comes from the second child of this shop!
"I'm here to borrow a toilet, I don't know..."Liu Gongzi was very helpless, but he still spoke hard.
"Oh... The latrine is over there. ”
After the shopkeeper pointed in a direction, he just saw someone coming over, so he stepped forward to greet him.
Liu Gongzi was amnesty, so he went to the toilet.
The shopkeeper was very eccentric in his heart.
He has seen a lot of people who come to borrow latrines, and some of them are indeed very anxious. But it seems that this weirdo who doesn't raise his head or say thank you is really rare.
Liu Gongzi, who finished going to the toilet, was in a much more relaxed mood.
Looking at the guests coming and going in the teahouse, no one seemed to pay attention to him. Finally, he wanted to sneak out while the shopkeeper was away.
It's so embarrassing!
"This son. Please also... Wait a minute! ”
However...
Just as Liu Gongzi was stepping over the threshold to go out, his hand was suddenly pulled.
