Chapter 6: The Righteous (5)
To Xiao Jinniang's surprise, Ye Luping seemed to be extremely familiar with this boat, and found Yan Lingbinde's location as easily as he was in his own home.
It's just that the conversation between the two people made her completely incomprehensible, as if she was talking to a code.
"I paid a lot of money to see Miss!" (Your information is so expensive)
"How much did Alang pay?" (How expensive)
"It's not important whether it's high or low, it's worth it" (your intelligence is important)
"On the 23rd of this month, I sent a messenger to set off, thinking that it would be delivered on the 23rd of next month, but I didn't expect it to be a day ahead of schedule!" (The rebels set out on the 23rd of this month, and they will arrive in another day)
"Ah Lang is really hard, since he has come all the way, then please listen to me present a song for Ah Lang!"
Although Xiao Jinniang's major is history, she is not interested in the silk and bamboo music of the Tang Dynasty at all.
"If Ah Lang is not interested in my girl, you might as well call other daughters for you to choose!"
Xiao Jinniang hurriedly refused.
"Forget it, I'm not very interested in these things, thank you boss for your kindness"
I know that I have been in the industry for many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a heart-stopping guest.
"In that case, does Ah Lang have any other instructions?"
Xiao Jinniang thought about it.
"Do you have fire crystal persimmons and water basin mutton here?"
Hearing this, Du Zhi was stunned for a moment.
"These things are all things that ordinary people eat, why do you want to eat such an unpopular thing?"
Xiao Jinniang is not on a whim, Huojing persimmon and mutton in the water basin are very fragrant when she watches "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and she also wants to taste it, but her home is far away from Xi'an, so it is not very cost-effective to go thousands of miles in order to eat.
It just so happened that the Chang'an she crossed over is now Xi'an, and she must have a feast.
Under Xiao Jinniang's repeated confirmation, she knew that she had no choice, so she had to find it for her.
After half an hour, I knew that I brought fire crystal persimmons and a pot of broth made of unknown things.
"I found the Huojing persimmon that Ah Lang wanted, but I don't know what this water basin mutton is, I searched for half of Chang'an City without results, only a bowl of mutton soup and ask Ah Lang not to dislike it"
Seeing this bowl of mutton soup, Xiao Jinniang remembered that Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty did not have any mutton in the basin at all, but the words could not be too comprehensive.
It is true that there was no such name as mutton in the water basin in the Tang Dynasty, but at that time, mutton was one of the important ingredients for the residents of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
That is to say, although the people of the Tang Dynasty certainly did not eat mutton in the water basin, they must have eaten the original version of mutton in the water basin, that is, mutton soup, which is one of the mutton delicacies that appeared in China as early as the pre-Qin era.
However, to be specific, the practice of mutton similar to the water basin is indeed not a popular way for people in the Tang Dynasty to eat sheep. At that time, the people of the Tang Dynasty were more accustomed to eating mutton noodle soup, boiled mutton offal, mutton stewed with minced pork and fish and other diced meat, and steamed mutton.
Xiao Jinniang learned the way Zhang Xiaojing ate Huojing persimmons in the play, and inserted a straw into the persimmon to eat.
"Not to mention, this thing is really plump and juicy, the skin is as thin as paper, it is very easy to peel, and it is refreshing, it can be described as a treasure among fruits."
Du Zhi paused for a moment, and then asked.
"Ah Lang is a merchant from the Western Regions! If you are a native of Chang'an, how can you like to eat this thing?"
Xiao Jinniang replied with a smile.
"It's true that I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know enough, so please don't laugh."
After hearing this, they all sighed.
"It's not as good as the coincidence that you came, my daughter is the last time to see guests in Chang'an, and Ah Lang will not have much chance to see it in the future."
Xiao Jinniang asked suspiciously.
"Why is it the last time, I see that she is young and handsome, I must cherish the time and live up to the time, why did I make such a decision?"
As soon as the words fell, tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"My daughter is thin, from the field all the way to Chang'an to avoid feng shui and sun, the evening wind invades the body, the delicate body, after all, it is still infected with the wind cold, originally thought it was just a minor illness, recuperation can be cured in a few days, I didn't expect that the cold disease became more and more intense, and finally reached the point where Lang Zhong could not do anything, now I only hope that my girl Jiren has her own natural appearance"
As she was talking, the song behind Xiao Jinniang also ended.
Yan Lingbin reluctantly got up, staggered outside the house, sat under the porch, and felt the warmth of the sun.
How she hopes that this ray of warm sun can completely expel the pain of her whole body, and she can restore her former vigor, stand in front of her lover with a smile, and let her sing a moving love song for herself.
However, looking at the dazzling light in the air, Yan Lingbin couldn't help but think of his life as duckweed, and his weak and sick body that could not bear the spring breeze.
The garden is full of spring flowers, and the purple and red flowers are blooming all over, and it is difficult to resist the fate of withering in the spring breeze. Perhaps, his life will also wither in this spring of life.
Thinking about it, before I knew it, two lines of hot tears had already come out of my eyes and flowed through my pale cheeks.
"I will die soon, spring flowers and autumn moon, I have spent a lot of happy time, now life and death, there is no time to meet, here I want to make a final request to the two Ah Lang, that is, I hope Ah Lang can send me some regret articles, I will be grateful!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone in the room suddenly murmuring.
There are three or five gasps left, and two or three flowers are left;
Say goodbye to a bottle of wine, there is no late stage of travel.
Yan Lingbin suddenly looked back at Xiao Jinniang, who was chanting poetry.
"Just now I was thinking in my heart, but I didn't have the right rhyme and couldn't write a poem, and after a while, Ah Lang casually chanted, how did Ah Lang know what I thought in my heart, could it be that I had a fate in my previous life?"
Xiao Jinniang had read the article about Yan Lingbin and knew that this poem was written by her, but it was a pity in her heart, but she didn't expect it to be recited in her mouth.
"No, I'm a little sentimental in my heart, maybe it's the same fate as you, so I said nonsense, so the girl smiled."
After saying that, Yan Lingbin fell uncontrollably on the table and cried, unable to hold himself.
After this banquet, Yan Lingbin, who seemed to have fulfilled his wish, his condition deteriorated, and within a few days, this famous prostitute in the Qinglou died in her cardamom fragrance, which was regrettable.
Yeluping got up and said goodbye to Yan Lingbin.
"The girl's song is really amazing, the tactful piano sound and singing music are intoxicating, the girl is still young, and the road ahead is still long, don't think nonsense"
As he spoke, Yeluping pulled Xiao Jinniang out, and Xiao Jinniang asked as she walked.
"The ruthlessness of man, even to this point"
"How can I be ruthless?"
Xiao Jinniang pointed to the boat and asked.
"That girl has little time, it's very pitiful, even I, who has just met her, have written a poem with compassion, and you, only a cold sentence, seems to be cold winter and cold snow makes people's hearts cold"
Hearing this, Yeluping said with a smile.
"There are some things you don't understand, I'll talk to you slowly when I have time"
Xiao Jinniang just wanted to refute, when someone suddenly shouted loudly in her ear.
"What can't you say now, but what is unseemly? It's okay to say it now, and explain your last words, otherwise you won't have a chance in a while."
