Chapter 7: I want to borrow some money
After Ye Xuanyuan finished speaking, he began to rub the wine glass with his fingers again.
The little generals below began to squeeze their eyebrows and make eyes at each other secretly, as if to say: You go, hurry up!
Why don't you get on!
After a long time, no one dared to speak.
Just when the atmosphere is getting more and more tense. I saw that the second-rank general, who looked a little indifferent, stood up, walked to the main seat, knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said directly: "My subordinates are only willing to stick to the frontier and protect the people of the world in this life!"
When the others saw that someone was taking the lead, they also knelt down in front of the main seat, and said in unison: "My subordinates are only willing to stick to the frontier and protect the people of the world in this life!"
Ye Xuanyuan, looking at the people in front of him who said that he wanted to protect the people of the dawn of the world, instantly felt that he was very ridiculous. He was silent and didn't say a word, then suddenly got up and walked between them, until he went out, and only when he went out did he say to the guard at the door: "Let them all disperse, and let Ning Ge come to see this king."
Anyway, all in all, this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner made no one very happy, and everyone broke up unhappily.
As soon as Qinglan and the others returned to Fanghua Courtyard, they washed and slept. Tang Sha's original little sleepiness was lost by that group of young men.
She climbed on the roof again and lay down, as if she was in a different world, obviously she had just come to that month, thinking about life here every day, but she hadn't come to this roof for a month, and she would have this illusion.
On the night of March and Five, the bright moon is half a wall.
Is this the worldview of this era? Men consider themselves to be heavens, and women are willing to be servants. I used to know that this was the case in ancient times, but only when I was really in this environment could I appreciate this patheticness.
One day, will she become like them, because she is an outlier in this era. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and what awaits her is a blessing or a curse.
Anyway, I can't predict the future, regardless of whether he is a blessing or a curse, the abbot once said to her: all the past is like a shadow, all the unknown is false, you will always live in the present. It's a bit of a sophistry, but sometimes I don't think it's completely unreasonable.
Although we don't know the future, every step we take now will leave a shadow in the future. So, in order to live better, it's time to find something to do. If there are thousands of eons and the work is not destroyed, when karma meets, the retribution will be repaid.
People who have been in the darkness will cherish the light more and pursue the light.
She's going to be out of the house tomorrow to go shopping.
Tomorrow is definitely better than today, good night.
Chang'an Pavilion
"Ning Ge, that Ning Xiaoming is your sister."
"Yes, Lord Wang."
This is the study in the attic where Ye Hangyuan lives.
"It's a big change compared to that year, this king can never forget it, but before he heard the name, he didn't even recognize it." Ye Xuanyuan laughed at himself.
"Actually, my subordinates didn't recognize it." Talking to Ye Xuanyuan, if Tang Sha is here, he will definitely be able to recognize that this is the little brother who broke the cup and lived in the second grade.
"It's strange that your own brother didn't recognize it." Ning Ge was already accustomed to Ye Xuanyuan's prickly way of speaking.
"Not biological." Ning Ge returned, speaking a little fast, as if he was in a hurry to explain something.
"But blood relatives?" Ye Xuanyuan asked.
"Definitely."
Ye Xuanyuan looked at Ning Ge with a sudden smile, and then said, "Actually, you can take her away at the banquet." ”
Ning Ge knew that the prince had actually made a note of him in his heart, but he would not regret it. Zhao Li and the others actually thought the same as he thought, they didn't mean to save the prince's face, they just didn't dare. Fighting all year round, I don't know which day I will attack and return at night. But the prince is different, even if he dies on the battlefield, his family will be well taken care of. The prince taught them to have a sense of family and country, and they all practiced it conscientiously.
"The subordinates know their mistakes, please punish the prince." As soon as Ning Ge wanted to kneel, he was held up by Ye Xuanyuan's arm.
"The man has gold under his knees, so don't kneel down without moving. What's wrong with you? Maybe the king was wrong. Ye Xuanyuan had a trace of confusion in his eyes at this time. Everyone disagreed with him, which showed that he was indeed wrong, but he did not know what was wrong.
"You go back first, and you can go see your sister when you have time. and let Zhao leave them to set off back to the border city first, since they don't want to pass on the ancestry, this king will satisfy them. You will stay in the frost and the wind, and return with this king in three months. ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired." Ning Ge raised his hand and saluted, and exited Ye Xuanyuan's study.
Three months, I have three months to stay. It means that you can see your sister a few more times. At the moment, he really wants to be like back then. Ning Ge remembered something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, it was the greatest luck in his life to have such a good sister.
Thank you, Lord Wang.
An autumn rain and a cold. A light rain began to fall outside early in the morning. It rained the night before yesterday and it was gloomy yesterday. But it seems that God knows that the Mid-Autumn Festival is going to be celebrated in the world, so there are no dark clouds covering the moon at night.
Tang Sha sat at the window and looked at the sky outside, I am afraid that this rain will be falling for a long time. Of course, rainy days are better, and there are fewer people coming and going in the palace, so it is convenient for you to go out for a walk.
After reading the book for a while, seeing that the three of them hadn't woken up yet, he told Xiaohuan not to disturb them and let them sleep more.
Tang Sha pulled out a dress with a big hat from the cabinet, which looked like it was worn when it was snowing, and it was a little thick.
It's okay, it's cool and swishing today anyway. Change into men's clothes, put the coat on the outside, put on a hat, and it's troublesome if the clothes don't have pockets, when will you get two out.
Tang Sha walked out of the door and gently closed the door. Walked out of the courtyard gate again, there was no one on the road, and Tang Sha went directly to the west.
The west side to the north is perennially unattended, with a lot of weeds and a few tiled houses piled with debris. Stepping through the weeds, my shoes were wet with the rain hanging from the grass. I found the old position of climbing over the wall, and accurately found a bamboo ladder from the weeds next to the wall.
The alleys are not covered with square stone bricks like the palace, and the stones on the ground here are irregular, and all have some mud marks.
The streets of the imperial capital are all paved with large bluestone slabs. Tang Sha kicked the mud on the soles of his shoes on the side of the road. began to wander around, pedestrians on the street, all with oil-paper umbrellas.
The rain is not very heavy, so there is no need to use an umbrella. Tang Sha stopped and stopped, stood in front of various stores for a while, and she would also walk in to have a look at some particularly good business.
Before I knew it, I smelled the smell of the food, and I found that it was noon.
I bought two cakes casually, ate them as I walked, and continued to shop. The main thing is that I don't have money and can't afford to eat restaurants.
It's raining, and it's getting dark early. Tang Sha returned to the courtyard in the evening.
Pushing open the door, the three people who were chatting all looked at her at the door.
"Yo, I'm willing to come back, what are you going to do here?" Sparrow Ling secretly thought: I went out to play again, this Ning Xiaoming didn't call them, there was no righteousness.
In the eyes of the three of them, Tang Sha took off his black coat, which was slightly heavy due to water absorption, and hung it on the screen. sat down in front of the coffee table and said to these people: "Don't look at me like that, I'm not going to play or do coolies, so I didn't take you." ”
"What are you doing as a coolie? Asking for help? The Sparrow sneered.
"Yes, Xiao Ming, the palace has food and drink, why bother to work as a coolie?" Lianxin was puzzled.
"Xiao Ming, if you are short of money, I can lend it to you, don't grieve yourself, look like this, why don't you go to the restaurant to deliver food?" Qinglan also pulled Tang Sha hand.
"You guys, poof~, so cute." Tang Sha couldn't help but laugh. They believe everything she says, and it's stupid and cute.
They pretended to understand what Tang Sha was saying, presumably praising them. Only the spirit of the bird felt that the Tangsha dog could not spit out ivory.
"Don't persuade me, I may have to go out every day recently, if the princess speaks, she will directly say that I am dead." Tang Sha said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Little ......"
"Sister, don't worry, I won't mess around, you guys rest early, I'll go to the cubicle to read a book." After saying that, he stood up, walked to the closet, took a set of middle clothes, and entered the cubicle on the right.
Tang Sha changed his clothes and asked Xiaohuan to take them to wash. I took out some blank paper and began to write the information I had gathered today on the paper with a brush. The pen flies like a dance, the words are like a dog crawling, and there is no second person who knows her except herself.
When it was almost time, Tang Sha quietly washed up, and then went to bed. She had a dream that she was on a mountain road with her brother, and suddenly it was raining, and the brother took off his Zen clothes, propped up his clothes with both hands, and covered the top of her bare head. She looked up at his chin, the warmest silhouette in memory.
Tang Sha woke up with a smile on his lips the next morning, sat up, and looked around with the faint light coming in from outside. The smile faded until it disappeared.
Shook his head, what kind of dreams are you, go to work!
Indeed, as Tang Sha said, in the past half a month, she has gone out early and returned late every day, and when she came back, she didn't know what to write in the cubicle.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, the princess has never called them to lecture, which is quite relaxed.
Tang Sha would occasionally bring them something delicious. On the fourth day of going out, he retrieved a wooden box, which was full of thick small wooden blocks with strange patterns on them.
Asked her what it was, she said, "This is the good thing that was ordered at the carpenter's shop that day, our hometown calls it mahjong, I teach you the rules, how to play, it's very simple." ”
It's really not difficult, and after a while, they can all get started, which is really interesting.
The rain fell for seven or eight days before it stopped.
Except for that time to teach mahjong, Tang Sha couldn't say anything to them every time he came back.
Finally, on the day of September, Tang Sha didn't go out again, but began to smile and borrow money from them?
"Ning Xiaoming, you won't gamble!" Sparrow was skeptical.
"Bet? How could I, Ning Xiaoming, have the money to do such a thing? Tang Sha looked at the Sparrow Spirit like a fool. Then he whispered around the neck of the sparrow: "I just want to buy something, the money is not enough, don't worry that I will pay you back, it's really urgent." ”
While complaining, Sparrow Ling took out the private money in the box: "How much?" ”
"Borrow as much as you want, hehe."
"Ning Xiaoming, you can really say it!" It's also her, Ning Xiaoming has nothing to say now.
Sparrow Spirit kept a little for himself and gave the rest to Tang Sha.
"Little finch, true love." As he spoke, he wanted to kiss her, but he was disgusted by the Sparrow Spirit and avoided it.
"Oh, by the way, your brother used to come to you a lot the other day, but he didn't see anyone. I said you don't want to see him, he has to wait from morning to afternoon, I'm afraid it's sad, I haven't come these days. The Sparrow Spirit turned around, carried Tang Sha on his back, and said as he sorted out the box.
As soon as Que Ling finished speaking, Qinglan and Lotus Heart, who had gone to the garden early in the morning to collect dew, came back.
"Eh, Xiao Ming, you didn't go out today." Qinglan was a little surprised when she saw Tang Sha.
"No, I don't need your help."
"What, if you can help, you will definitely help." Qinglan responded.
"Haha, it's not a big deal, I just want to borrow some silver and buy something." In order to borrow money, Tang Sha is not too embarrassed.
"How much to borrow?" Qinglan said without hesitation.
"Ning Xiaoming! What the hell are you going to buy, I borrowed a hundred taels of silver from you just now!" Bird Ling is a little rich woman, a hundred taels of silver, based on the price here, converted into about 10,000 yuan.
Qinglan and Lianxin were also surprised when they heard it.
"I'll buy this thing, it's expensive, even if you give me all the private money, it's still far away." Tang Sha didn't say what he bought.
Qinglan and Lianxin didn't ask any more, Lianxin lent her seventy taels, and reluctantly said, "This is all my belongings." ”
Qinglan was richer than Bird Ling, and directly took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels.
It turned out that Ning Xiaoming was the poorest among several people.
"Xiao Ming, there has been a little boy who has come to you recently, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person." Qinglan said suddenly.
"The Spirit told me that if he came again, I would see him." Tang Sha is a little curious now, Qinglan and Lianxin don't seem to know her brother, why do Bird Spirit know her.
Ning Xiaoming's younger brother is a martial champion, and he works under Ye Xuanyuan, so he must not be short of money. In this way, he also followed Ye Xuanyuan back to Beijing this time?
At this moment, Xiaohuan suddenly walked into the house, saluted, and said, "That little boy is here again, saying that he wants to see Mrs. Ming." ”
Tang Sha's eyes lit up, and he was sent to the door so soon? She had to borrow some money from this younger brother, otherwise the plan she had worked hard for in the past half a month would be in vain.
"You tell him, let him wait for me at the small pavilion in the lotus pond, and I'll go right away." Tang Sha faces the small ring road.
Xiaohuan answered and withdrew.
"Xiao Ming, do you know this little boy?" Lianxin said curiously.
"My brother."
"It's your martial brother, Ning Ge?"
"Yes, I'll go get dressed." Tang Sha never dressed well in the house, always ran around in a middle coat, and his hair was not combed, so he tied a hairband behind his head, saying that it was cool.
After a while, Tang Sha came out of the cubicle, dressed in moon-white clothes, his hair was combed, and his lips were wiped with something, and they became bloodless. It looks several times weaker than usual.
Tang Sha smiled and threw a wink at the three of them, his weak temperament was instantly disillusioned, and he looked ruffian.
"Gone." I said hello and walked out of the house.
