Chapter Seventy-Five: Kyoto's Three Knots

A pot of lotus seeds, talking about all the things in the court, do you say it's a coincidence?

Several people sat at the table, peeling lotus seeds as they wanted, and even Xia Zhishu unconsciously moved his hands.

"So what should we do now?" Xia Zhishu is a novice, peeling it bumpering, and the lotus seeds are also pitted, and even his expression is straining.

An Sheng came from outside, and when he saw this posture, his hands were itchy, and he was so frightened by Seventeen that he retracted his hand, and presented the booklet in his hand in a regular manner.

A few people took these scattered booklets, opened them and took a look, good guys, where are the ghost drawings?

Seventeen was at ease, and he was as good as a stream, and after a while, he finished it, and when he saw a few people looking at him in shock, he said: "These are all written by the little beggars on the street, and the beggars can't read and write, and they have their own set of record fonts, and others really can't understand them."

Draw a bone is a good person, a stick is a fight, a cross means that the person is dead, a circle means the outside, and a triangle means a child.

"What's written about that?" Xia Zhishu said.

"It's probably Hu Hansheng's loss of his reputation over the years."

"All these years?" Xiao Yuanjun smiled and put down the booklet in his hand, "You have been paying attention to him for a long time?" ”

Seventeen carefully collected the scattered booklets, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Yes! Very early! The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to let all the beggars in Kyoto keep an eye on him day and night. ”

It seems that this is the reason why he and Hu Hansheng have personal grievances, so it is inconvenient to ask more, so he changed the topic, "What useful information does that have?" ”

"Child abuse."

"What!" Several people got up almost at the same time, their hands shaking as they propped up the table.

"Hu Hansheng would bring back children from outside Kyoto, and the children were all suffering from diseases without exception, and at first they were very caring for him, but then for some reason they would suddenly be tyrannical and torture him to death."

Xiao Yu'an sat down and continued: "The child is already suffering from a vicious disease, even if he is tortured to death, others don't know that he is only a thin life, Hu Hansheng brought it back, and he also got a good reputation."

Seventeen listened, nodded, grabbed a handful of lotus seeds and peeled them again, laughed lightly, and showed mockery.

The atmosphere froze, Yiren saw this, and asked Xiao Pick to call his mother-in-law to cook wontons, An Sheng retracted his feet when he heard that he was about to leave, and followed behind Xiao Pick, like a puppy wagging his tail, without much backbone.

"We have to deal with people, and we still have to eat food." She gathered up the lotus seeds scattered on the table, and said softly: "In this case, it is better to think about what to do."

"Fame!" Seventeen regained his old spirit, threw a lotus seed up, easily fell into his mouth, and threw an eyebrow at Yiren.

Seeing this, Xia Zhishu glanced at Xiao Yu'an with disgust, each with deep meaning, and it was difficult to say.

Xiao Yu'an was glared at by her eyes, stunned, and even more innocent, so she had to speak: "Do you want to use Hu Yousheng's incident to bring out the rumor case of the princess back then, pull Hu Yousheng off the horse, and then use his child abuse incident to crush him?"

Xia Zhishu didn't look at him except for glancing at him just now, but kept staring at his scared Seventeen, and asked, "Then what can I do?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yu'an uncomfortably picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, but unfortunately, the teacup was empty.

"You don't need to do anything, Hu Yousheng took over the birthday banquet, he will definitely discuss it with you, you just need to give him a proper gesture and let him settle down, and the rumors of a personal affair between you will also intensify, when the time comes, just give him a slap in the face."

Xiao Yuanjun saw that Xiao Yu'an was really embarrassed, so he had to open his mouth to relieve him, and continued: "Hu Yousheng is not as strict as his father-in-law, there must be a lot of dirty things on his body, if you are involved in one thing, the folk picket will definitely investigate it thoroughly, and many things can also be found out, we don't need to bother, it will be up to Master Hu to decide when the time comes."

"However, no matter what he chooses, he will not escape death." Seventeen took over the conversation.

The tacit understanding between several people is needless to say, a look, a word, you can know what the other party thinks.

Yiren looked at it and laughed lowly, but it was Xia Zhishu, who was stunned when he heard it.

It just so happened that the mother-in-law brought the wontons up, and Yiren looked at the steaming wontons, gently opened them with his hands, broke a layer, and rose up again to gather into a strand.

"What are you doing?"

Seventeen was confused by her movements, and asked loudly to gather everyone's eyes.

Yiren repeated the action just now, the light smoke broke off and retracted, that is, it floated in the air, and it also condensed into a ball before dissipating without a trace, and not a single wisp of green smoke left alone.

Several people were more and more curious by her movements, and they all stared at her.

"It's nothing, I'm just going to see if I can separate them?"

"They are one, how can they be separated." Xiao Yuanjun looked at this sister, how could he be so stupid when he was so smart? I can't help but remind you out loud.

"But they weren't originally one, because the matchmaker put them together, and each of them released a little heat and twisted themselves into a one, no one forced it, they relied on each other."

When the three men heard this, they were stunned for a moment, Xia Zhishu's unintentional words woke them up, their eyes tossed back and forth, they smiled at each other, and laughed out loud.

"Ansheng, bring the wine!"

An Sheng was chattering about the wontons outside the door, when he heard the arrogant shout of his shopkeeper, which almost scared the wontons in his hand, which was really worth the loss.

Xia Zhishu didn't understand, they were obviously discussing other things, why did they suddenly laugh, and she didn't react until An Sheng brought the wine and a big bowl over.

hurriedly straightened the dress and hair accessories on his body, and poured water on his teacup.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu'an was puzzled, "What are you doing?" ”

Xia Zhishu was still busy sorting out his already dignified dress, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement, "Are you guys, are you going to bow down, I want to see it, I have to see it!" This is at the level of a historical story, let me see it! ”

Hey? If so, how can it be at the level of history, and how can it be written? The air was silent in an instant, only Xia Zhishu understood the sound of Suo Suo arranging her dress, she raised her head tremblingly, and saw several people staring at her motionless with their heads raised.

I was uneasy and stammered, "What, what's wrong?" ”

"How can it be epic?" The Yiren had a shadow of these folk sayings, so they asked.

Speaking of this, Xia Zhishu became energetic, "Don't you know? All kinds of legends and stories about your four heavenly kings? There's a lot of it in the book! It's the hottest folk story now! ”

"Isn't that talking about Princess Panjun's daughter's ability to be a man?"

"Hey, what year are you talking about!" Xia Zhishu waved his hand, indescribably atmospheric, and said proudly: "Now, the most widely circulated in the market is this paragraph of the Four Heavenly Kings Kyoto Taoyuan, Mr. Storyteller will only talk about it next time, this makes me meet, do you say it is a coincidence!"

That look is an indescribable little pride, and the girl's family is smiling brightly, like a flower in the sky.

After hearing this, several people laughed out loud and reminded her, "This is not the Three Alliances of the Four Heavenly Kings, but the Three Sons of Kyoto." ”

"What about the Yiren?"

"She? As her little princess, we have everything in our pockets! ”

"Hey! It's not bad, it's not bad! ”

Okay, if you say it's not bad, it's not bad.

The three of them sacrificed the sky with wine, facing the crescent moon from afar, did not kneel or worship, a bowl of sake, and thanked the year!

"I'm Xiao Yu'an!"

"I'm Xiao Yuanjun!"

"Little Seventeen!"

"Today, I am a brother, regardless of my background, fearless of life and death, with my big Yan Erlang's bloody body, I swear to protect the health of my Yan country. A bowl of sake, chatting to comfort the souls of the dead and to be a witness. ”

"It's for the family and the country, and it's worthy of the heart."

"Fight on the battlefield and be buried in your homeland."

"Always know and be grateful, and protect her for the rest of her life."

"The descendants swear, please witness the ancestors, if there is a violation, you will not sleep peacefully every night, and there will be no peace under the nine springs."

This is the simplest oath, the most enthusiastic years of men, they are ignorant and fearless, but they are so sincere.

Good sons and daughters of Dayan, please remember today's oath, this is your life's persistence, this life may be short, or sad, it doesn't matter, there is also the next life, and the family and country you have never given up.

Pushing the glass and changing the lamp, talking about the wine, laughing, it is joy, it is moving, they talk about their past lives, Xiao Pick and An Sheng are drunk, and they snuggle up to each other and fall asleep on the stairs.

It's late at night and it's time to go home.

Xia Zhishu has lived a restrained life for half his life, it is rare to indulge once, he is drunk and unadult-like, he looks like he goes back, I am afraid that she will be told by her mother, and asked Xiao Yu'an to send her back.

As the crown prince, Xiao Yuanjun may not be chic.

You don't know, I met, heard, experienced when I was traveling, hey, really well-informed!

Then you are not as wonderful as me, when I was a beggar, I went to join the army and met, babble, it is really colorful!

But he has nothing, what he has, only the prince knows, a planned life.

Fortunately, when he met them, he had seen a different world.

It was late at night, it was time to go home, he couldn't find a place to go, somehow remembered the alley, and went for a walk.

There was only seventeen left, and he was playing with Laipi, unwilling to go, sitting on the ground, hugging Yiren's waist, and just wouldn't let go.

This man, when he is awake, still knows how to be drunk, more like a child!

"Wake up, go to sleep, fall asleep comfortably on the couch." The Yiren didn't drink much, so they didn't drink much, but they just got the smell of alcohol.

Seventeen pillowed his head on her lap, shook his body, unwilling to get up, heard her voice, and sneaked out two pieces of candy from his waist, for fear of being seen by others, one wrapped in brown paper, with golden thread peach blossoms on it, and one wrapped in black paper, looking at it without brilliance.

He took out one of the brown paper-wrapped pieces, peeled them off and handed them to her mouth, and Yiren gestured to take them with his hands, and he muttered, blocked her hand with his arm, and handed it to her mouth.

Yiren had no choice but to lower his head to eat, the entrance was fragrant, sweet but not greasy, and the taste was as good as ever.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Seventeen smiled, peeled off the black one, it looked like it was just a lotus seed wrapped in syrup, the lotus seed was not in good shape, it was bitter at first glance, the syrup was just syrup, not like she ate, it was mixed with osmanthus, roses, jasmine and various greasy flower syrup, seeing him stuff it in one bite, he swallowed it without chewing.

"Why did you just swallow it?"

Seventeen took out another handful from his arms, only one of the bunches was wrapped in brown paper, he happily picked it out, peeled it off and handed it to Yiren's mouth, motioning for her to eat, his eyes were confused, and he smiled and said, "That's bitter, it's not delicious, the lady eats this." ”

The man had a fine starlight in his eyes, looked up at her gently, and carefully handed the lotus candy to her mouth.

When she looked at it, her eyes were full of tears, and she said that he was the most high-spirited teenager, who had seen his delicate and warm appearance, it was obvious that she was extremely inferior, and wanted to treat the person in front of her with the best appearance.

She lowered her head and lowered her eyes, put the lotus candy in her mouth, and when she saw it, she put down her hand, and she was about to look down and rummage, and her head was picked up, and then her lips were pasted with something warm, sweet, soft, and warm.

His brain went blank, and only his little lady was left.
