CHAPTER XIX
Hou Cong's voice was not high, and he issued an order: "Make a few bowls of lamb intestine noodles." ”
Fluorescence knew that this was for herself and a few other sisters, and arched her hand to him, "Thank you, eldest son." "Just step back, and there is not a word of superfluity.
Hou Cong stood up and lowered his eyelids, "This matter will end here, it's been just a few days, if you want to investigate, it's impossible not to alarm the East Palace." Let's just be a little bit measured about the origin of Jia Fang. You eat at this table, let's go too, here is a good view. ”
Indeed, looking out from this window of the teahouse, not only the people of Gaobo Street come and go, but also the businesses and backyards on the opposite street, and several streets can be seen clearly. Farther away is a big road, which is the central axis of Datong City, which can lead directly to the palace. The sound of the chariot pressing against the stone bars was thick and monotonous, and it came with a bang, revealing the prosperity and solemnity at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Eat tea and breakfast at this seat, think about your thoughts, it is indeed graceful.
Fluorescence only said one sentence again, "Grand Master Xie." Banban was standing upright, and she waited for Hou Cong to leave with the white clothes before she could sit down. At this time, Hou Cong noticed a curious look on Bai Yi's face, looking at the fluorescence, "Can I stay and eat a bowl of lamb intestine noodles too?" ”
"Then I'll give you a bowl, don't be too naughty." As soon as Hou Cong finished speaking, Bai Yi smiled contentedly, but looked at the fluorescence with a little timidity.
"Let's sit together, shall we?"
"Okay."
The two girls sat face to face at the table by the window, face to face, and they didn't know what to say, but they were in a good mood, and they obviously wanted to set it off, but they didn't know where to start.
Hou Cong has become a theater watcher. He stood close by with his arms crossed, and saw the teahouse maid lead the other four female soldiers to a private room and bring tea. After a while, the lamb intestine noodles, mixed vegetables, and snacks were all served, and the two of them, Bai Yi and Fluorescent, still stared at their eyes and didn't say a word.
Hou Cong was like a grandfather who led his little granddaughter out to make friends, and opened his mouth for Bai Yi, "Fluorescence, she envies you in her heart for not a day." Ever since I went to the camp, I've been asking me if you're going south together. ”
This sentence did not play the role that Hou Cong expected, because Bai Yi thought about what to say, and started a new topic, "What do you belong to?" ”
"Dogs."
"I'm a mouse."
Hou Cong answered, "Yes", thinking to himself what the white clothes belonged to, he really didn't know. "Do you know what I belong to?"
The two girls ignored him, Hou Cong didn't know what was so good about this extremely boring topic, Fluorescence was quite interested, and while picking up a few mouthfuls of sheep intestine noodles, he told Bai Yi, "Dogs and mice are very good." I have a jade dog given by my mother, and I will show it to you in the future, I can come! Do you have a golden mouse jade mouse? ”
"I didn't. But I also think dogs and rats are better. ”
Hou Cong couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled a chair and sat next to him, "It's almost okay." You are all guilty of not reading, but none of the serious books on folk physiognomy and gossip of the five elements talk about the stupid thing that dogs and mice are very good. ”
Fluorescent watched with interest as Bai Yi rolled the noodles with chopsticks and circled around, "I can sew one for you, or we can buy one on the way." You haven't spoken to the other female soldiers, and there is a little mouse among them! ”
Bai Yi nodded, "Have you beaten the eldest prince?" ”
Fluorescent shook her head, "If you sneak attack, you can't say it." But Murong Xing's boys are not a problem. ”
Bai Yi smiled contemptuously, and seemed to agree with it very much, "Yuan You's foundation is the worst. She said.
"Did I teach you to speak ill of people after you?" Hou Cong stretched his face.
Bai Yi pretended not to hear, and finally stuffed the rolled noodles into his mouth. Coral lips pursed, carrying food.
Fluorescence also ignored him, "I was angry when I talked about Yuan, he was beaten up by me." In the camp, he took a detour when he met me. Divide winter clothes, weapons, and rations, and when we go to the warehouse, he doesn't dare to line up behind me. Who made him bad - Dugu Zheng was like a bear, and he didn't dare to provoke the female soldiers under me, and Yuan actually dared to eat the grass on the edge of the nest. ”
Okay, girls have a girl's world, although Hou Cong thinks that it is not suitable for Bai Yi and Fluorescent to scold Yuan together, but he vaguely remembers that before the age of 8, his mother and aunt got together, so why not. Thinking about it, this is also the white clothes confined at home since childhood, the first time there is a girl about the same age as a companion to talk, maybe it will be affected by fluorescence in the future, more and more-
How it was getting better, he didn't know. It's better for her not to change, just like she is now.
Of course, if it changes, that's fine.
As long as it's her, it's fine.
Thinking crankily again - he finally stood up, interrupted his thoughts, and told Qingsong to send Bai Yi back to Huaping Lane in a while, and he was going back to the Hou Mansion to make kites.
The boxes and cages have begun to be packed, and the two old men and wife Hou Chong also took their most trusted old men and mothers to personally help check them over and over again, register them in the accounts, paste the identification slips, and inspect the horses and carriages that travel, and they are very busy. The carriages and horses in and out of the Hou Mansion roared on the road, and the people of Man Datong looked at it in their eyes, calculated in their hearts, and talked about how much it would cost to spend on the affairs of the royal family and the general's family; How many hearts does this little marquis have to have to cut through it, so many people, things, and affairs! In the end, it is a big tree!
There were still three days before departure, and Hou Cong heard that the people sent out had returned. He ordered someone to find the brothers and sisters of the Yuwen family, and Murong Xing, Dugu Zheng, Yuan You, and Fluorescence were all gathered outside the tool room.
Several large and long boxes were carried out, Hou Cong looked at Bai Yi and said, "The kite I promised to send you has just been made, so keep it and go to Jiangnan to release it." Fluorescent is careful, leading people to stare at a little, I haven't completely finished these yet, they are all delicate things, who dares to get close and kill whom. Including a few of you present. ”
"Yes." The fluorescence is still the cold face and ruthless, and she finished everything as soon as possible, but when she looked at the white clothes, there was joy in her eyes.
"Let's go, go back to my yard." Hou Cong said. Everyone followed him, and only then did they understand that they were going to explain these words before they arrived in the tool room. The few female soldiers brought by Fluorescence were already waiting on the verandah, and when they heard the words ahead, they followed the person carrying the box without any orders, because from then on they had to keep an inch on the kite itself. Hou Cong took the lead and entered the side courtyard where he lived, the yard was full of branches and leaves, and the flowers had already bloomed. Under the swing, some grass grows.
He looked at Qing Song and spoke, "Let my father tear this down." I'll take it again next year. ”
"Understood."
He turned and walked towards the hall without looking back. Everyone followed in, and saw that the tables and chairs were arranged, and as soon as the people came in, a few clean eleven or twelve-year-old girls began to serve tea and snacks. Hou Cong sat down on the main seat and motioned for the others to sit down.
Murong Xing saw that no one moved, and he sat down in the position closest to Hou Cong, and the fluorescence came over and pulled the white clothes, and sat down with him, and the others did the same, and they all sat down. Hou Cong ordered Fluorescence to tell him about Cha Jia Fang.
After fluorescent finished speaking, Hou Cong looked at Bai Yi first, "In the future, you want to talk like her, understand?" ”
"Yes."
It turned out that this was what he felt comfortable looking like. Bai Yi himself secretly made up his mind.
Hou Cong turned his eyes to Dugu Zheng, "Mao, you speak first." ”
Dugu Zheng rarely looks serious, summing up the noteworthy points of He Bachun, "He Bachun's father, He Bayun, and the father of the current Zhuguo general He Bafan, are cousins of a great-grandfather. Therefore, their home is not only a side branch, but also a small branch. The relationship with the main family is not bad, nor is it warm. He Bayun never came out, but the eldest son, He Baxuan, once joined the Sky Sparrow Army, died in September two years ago, the assassination of the prince of the East Palace, and died in escort. It was because of this incident that He Bachun got the opportunity to come to the prince's side, he was young, and it was said that he did not like to talk very much, but the prince liked it very much. Said he was smart and steady. ”
Hou Cong didn't speak, and everyone was silent for a while.
Bai Yi couldn't help but ask, "Who was the assassin two years ago?" ”
Fluorescent replied to her, "It's never been announced, it's just Fa-rectification." ”
Hou Cong then looked at Yuan You, "It's your turn, Mao." ”
Yuan agreed to say "yes" again, because the fluorescence was there, he was uncomfortable, "The subordinates took people to Yusen, and found the hometown of Wei Yao and Yu Tie, Yu Tie's family is a farmer, and the outside said that their family is very responsible, Yu Tie has three brothers, and the villagers said that he followed his cousin into Datong City, and the rest of him didn't know." Wei Yao is a layman monk, he was thrown in the local Buddhist temple when he was a child, and later his master said that he had no relationship with the Buddha, so he grew his hair and took care of the chores in the temple. At least there was no crime in the local area, and there was no friendship. ”
Yuan said another sentence, Bai Yi remembered a sentence, and always hoped that because he listened to more words, he could save a trouble for the road to the south in the future. At this time, Hou Cong looked at Murong Xing.
"Yes," Murong Xing sat on his seat and arched his hand, "Eldest prince, Li Andu was originally a teacher in Xixue City, he was young, knowledgeable, and had a very good reputation. Later, on the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, Master Shangshu Jian of the Criminal Department passed by Xixue City, and invited the local old scholars to eat according to the rules. Master Jian seems to like Li Andu very much, and has talked to him secretly. After that, Li Andu was picked up. However, I don't know why I got to the East Palace. ”
Hou Cong added a few words, in fact, it was for Bai Yi, who didn't know much about these things, "Lord Jian is the uncle of Tian Guifei, who is favored by the emperor, and the Tian Hou family, plus the Jian family, is naturally close to King Hui, who was born to Tian Guifei. ”
Bai Yi didn't think about it, and blurted out, "That's also simple, Li Andu is a scholar, and Jian Shangshu has the grace of knowing him, but if the two of them don't deal with each other, he will go to the other family." ”
Changkong grinned, "My sister is so smart. ”
Hou Cong had a gloomy face, "Smart is smart, but it's too straight." There are no outsiders today, so it's okay. Sky, what about you? ”
Changkong looked aggrieved, "Our Royal Highness the King of Yangxian is very good to the two girls in the blue sky, and they are really trying to win them over." Even Cuizhu is left behind. Looking at me next to me, I'm so lonely. ”
"I didn't ask you Mo Chang, how are you and the third princess?"
Everyone present, including Bai Yi, laughed "poof".
Changkong was even more melancholy, "What else can I do, she sends someone to deliver letters to me every day." I'm busy again. Originally, I didn't say that I would die and admit it! She is now afraid that the emperor and the crown prince will not know, right? It's sad and annoying. ”
Qing Song came in from outside, "Eldest son, the people under Deputy Chief He have come to spread the word, and the emperor wants to see you and Miss Yuwen." ”
