Chapter 15: Intrigue and Intrigues
Drunken fairy wine shop, the city people are competing for drink.
Changlin is dressed as a teenager, with a high ribbon with ink-colored sleeves, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a handsome spirit.
He held the fan and shook it gently, and his eyes were full of charm, and he saw him stepping on the sandalwood ladder and walking up to the second floor.
The lanterns are hung high, looking down, there are countless people in the city, talking and winning, square tables and wooden stools, sweet and fragrant wine.
He stood in front of a closed wooden door and knocked softly.
"Who is it?"
A loud voice came from inside the room, followed by the sound of brisk footsteps.
After a while, the sound of the door opening was heard.
I saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of the door, dressed gorgeously and with shrewd eyes.
This person is the shopkeeper of the drunken fairy wine shop.
"Who are you? What's the point of looking for me? ”
The female shopkeeper was busy clearing the accounts, and she was a little unhappy to be disturbed suddenly, but the person dressed as a teenager in front of her looked refreshing, and her anger gradually subsided a little.
"It's not convenient to talk here, can you let me into the house?"
Changlin smiled and was polite.
The female shopkeeper looked at such a good-looking Lang Jun, her face was slightly red, so she stepped aside and invited Lang Jun into the house.
There was a warm fragrance in the house, and Changlin couldn't help but sigh, the taste of this fragrance was more fragrant than this drunken immortal wine.
"It smells very good."
Changlin was fascinated by this fragrance, which seemed to have the effect of forgetting worries.
The shopkeeper walked to the wooden table, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of tea.
She smiled heartily and quipped.
"I didn't expect that your little boy is quite good at knowing incense, and you don't give sachets to the girl's family on weekdays, right?"
Changlin's hand holding the fan was slightly sluggish, and a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes, sending a sachet? He is practicing on weekdays, as the right-hand man of the Lord, in order to protect the Lord's safety, where does he have time to get acquainted with the girl's family?
The shopkeeper laughed.
Although Changlin was bitter in his heart, his tone was still smiling, and the charm between his eyes was undiminished.
The shopkeeper smiled heartily and gently brought the incense.
"This incense is called with the moon, it is developed by a master of incense, every moonlit night, he burns incense and sits in the atrium, abandoning the world."
Changlin couldn't help but sigh at the elegant sentiment of the person who made incense.
"With the fragrance of the moon, quiet and elegant, nourishing Yu Shen, its taste is like a crescent moon falling into the ice spring, and the Qionglu is fragrant, which is really a beautiful thing."
The shopkeeper sat on a wooden chair and smiled smartly.
"Since you love this incense so much, then I will tell you the recipe for this moon incense."
………
Changlin smiled lightly, sat silently, and was silent.
"The moon incense is composed of sandalwood, guanxiang, Suhexiang, chicken tongue, cardamom, rue, white grass, etc., and its processing and harmony are particularly important."
"Can that make this incense?"
Changlin seems to have forgotten what he came here for.
"Incense making also requires a detached mind."
The shopkeeper picked up a cup of tea and regained his look.
"It's wonderful."
As a secret guard, Changlin didn't know the tastes of these literati.
The shopkeeper pursed his lips and chuckled, this little boy came here, and he was fascinated by the moon incense, but he forgot about business for a while.
"Little boy, why did you come here today to find me?"
Chang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted, he almost forgot the task that the Lord handed over to him.
I saw him slowly take out a bag from his arms, which was handed over to him by Ji Fuyu.
"This bag is what my master asked me to give you."
When the shopkeeper saw the bag, a different color suddenly flashed in his eyes......
She stretched out her hand in the red-sleeved light cage and politely took the bag.
Take a closer look and make sure it doesn't move.
This bag is the usual docking token of Master Ji.
It's just that...... In the past, it was all red kite who was connected with her, why did she change to Xiao Langjun today? Is this little Langjun cheating?
The shopkeeper was suspicious, but he cautiously closed the window and hid behind the screen.
She pulled the knotted rope carefully, and a note was placed inside, spread out, and a few lines of vigorous and powerful words jumped onto the paper.
'Guo Mingyi, the head of the household, fornicated with the harem, was corrupt and perverted the law, and was impeached by the official on the main hall, it was difficult to quibble, and the emperor wanted to kill him. ’
The shopkeeper frowned slightly, what does this mean? Isn't Guo Mingyi a rare loyal minister? This news is ridiculous.
This is a lie, and you must spread it and reach Guo He's ears, and if nothing else, he will be in a drinking house at the moment. ’
The shopkeeper destroyed it when he saw it, and then walked out from behind the screen.
Chang Lin saw that his expression was abnormal, and was about to ask carefully, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Shopkeeper, not enough drinks."
"Okay, I'll be right here."
The female shopkeeper answered, and was about to open the door, but turned to Changlin and said.
"I already know the meaning of the Lord, since you are here this time, the red kite must have met with an accident, I am also an acquaintance with her, if you know where she is buried, please burn a pillar of incense for her."
……
"Changlin is duty-bound."
Changlin didn't know what to do for a while, after all, the red kite was a thief in the house, and he didn't know if he should tell her about it.
"Thank you, little boy."
The shopkeeper pushed the door and left, leaving Changlin alone to ponder in the same place, it turned out that this drunken immortal building was also the owner's property, and the shopkeeper was also the master's subordinate.
………
Knowing that his mission was complete, Changlin went to join the Black Knight.
As soon as he reached the staircase, he saw the two walking together.
The son of the black horse and the head of the household Shangshu Guo Mingyi, Guo He.
"Big Brother Hei, thank you for your great help, if it weren't for you, the official seal under Xia would have been snatched away by the bandits."
The black rider was dressed in black, with a burly figure and a mediocre appearance, with a fierce aura around him.
He smiled arrogantly, and then held Guo He with his hand, wanting to pull him up.
"Brother Guo doesn't have to be polite, it's my consistent style to be chivalrous and righteous, but Brother Guo, you go to the capital alone, and you have so many burdens, it's really easy to be remembered by thieves."
Guo He's face was sad when he heard this.
"Big brother Hei, you don't know, I came down to Beijing to take over my father's official position, and the road is far away, and it is inevitable that you will encounter robbers."
After finishing speaking, Guo He sighed again, his eyes worried.
The Black Rider's face was concerned, and his tone seemed to be comforting.
"Let's listen to Brother Guo in detail."
The black rider sat down with Guo He on the side of the wine shop.
The shopkeeper didn't take long to bring the food and drinks.
Raising his eyes, he and the black rider glanced at each other in understanding.
Guo He poured a bowl of wine for the black rider and added some dishes, but he didn't notice the actions of the two.
"My father is seriously ill, and I can't do anything about it as his heir."
Guo He raised the wine bowl and drank it all.
"Brother Guo doesn't want to hurt his mind, but he knows a divine doctor below, and he will be able to cure Ling Zun's illness."
……
"My father's income is a disease of the heart."
The black rider put down the wine bowl and looked worried.
"This is tricky, if you want to cure this heart disease, you have to find the root cause of the heart disease."
When Guo He heard this, he fell into deep thought, and fell silent for a while.
It was a long time before he spoke.
"My father proposed to the emperor to reduce taxes above the court, but the emperor did not allow it, and my father argued with reason, but to no avail, but because he was worried about the country and the people, he was in a hurry, and he was sick and lying in bed for a while."
Guo He looked sad for a while, and then returned to normal.
"The ancestral training of the family, the heart of the country, the feeling of forgetting the body, the heart of the dog and the horse, the heart of the Dan is the same, in the lower body as the courtier of the Qi State, naturally it is to serve the country, the current emperor is mediocre, in the next day of the admonition, the blood of the heart, it is true that the emperor can be moved, one day, I hope he can also be sympathetic and love the people."
Guo He's eyes are firm, as if he has great ambitions, if the river is surging, it is not like before.
The black rider took the hand of the wine bowl for a moment, and his expression was unknown.
He only needs to complete the task handed over to him by the Lord, frame Guo Mingyi, and kill people with a knife......
But in this troubled world, there are still such loyal fathers and sons.
But this is foolish loyalty, the country is people-oriented, water can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, now the people are starving all over the field, the country has long been out of the country, Guo He does not know, loyalty to the country is not equal to loyalty.
Ji Fuyu's words may make him comprehend.
