Chapter 161: Collapse
Wen Huan knew what the young master in their mouth was talking about, but two days ago, Xie Huaining also talked to him about Xie Huai'an, at that time Xie Huaining also said that his younger brother had reformed and did not go out to cause trouble again.
Starting from Xie Huaining's side, Xie Huai'an is his friend's brother-in-law, Wen Huan looks at his friend's face, so he should say two good words for him.
But the problem is that Xie Huai'an's current approach makes him unable to find a single reason to say good things.
"The gentlemen in Beijing are indeed acting a little perversely, the young master behind them just doesn't allow anyone to cross the bridge, but he hasn't hurt others, it's not a bad thing......" reluctantly held back a sentence, Wen Huan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately, Xie Huai'an is not his younger brother, and his younger brother was only born for two months, and his sister is also very well-behaved, and he never goes outside to cause trouble, which saves him a lot of thought.
The young man in brocade couldn't help but show a shocked look when he heard Wen Huan's words.
Yuchen is his pseudonym in front of Wen Huan and others, his real name is Jin Yuchen, he is the prince of the dynasty, he has been raised in the palace since he was a child, and he receives the teachings of the great Confucians on weekdays, and he rarely even reads the script. When he saw the people blocking the road on the bridge, he already felt that the other party was very excessive, and wanted to teach a lesson, but he didn't expect that these people's actions were not evil in Wen Huan's eyes!
He glanced at the pedestrians passing by on the street, and saw that they all had commonplace expressions, obviously accustomed to the behavior of the guards on the bridge, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you think it's wrong for them to do this?" β
Of course, Wen Huan felt that Xie Huai'an's approach was wrong, but he couldn't say that, and he didn't want to say something against his will, so he just kept silent.
It was Wen Hang, who was walking with them, who finally found a chance to speak at this time.
Wen Hang is different from Wen Huan, he studied in the Wen clan studies, and he knows the most about the rumors of some gentlemen in Kyoto, and even experienced it a few times.
He touched Jin Yuchen's arm and whispered to him, "Although I also think it's wrong for him to do this, if it is compared to other people, what he has done is really nothing!" β
"You're not a native of Kyoto, so I don't know how the real gentlemen in Kyoto behave, when I went to the street to buy things before, I met once, also in the bookstore to buy things, but they said that the green robe I was wearing was in their eyes, and they beat me up on the street, I can't even find someone to complain, who knows if they will take someone to beat me up next time."
Wen Hang recalled the scene of his beating, and couldn't help but shudder.
Everyone said that beating people doesn't hit their faces, but those individuals just caught him in the face, so that he stayed in the house for a long time, and only dared to go out again when the injuries on his face were healed.
"Your father is an official in the court, and your grandfather is still known as the emperor, how dare they do it to you, and you don't even dare to go to complain?" Jin Yuchen heard Wen Hang's words, and his first reaction was disbelief.
Although he is not very clear about many rumors about Kyoto, he still understands the basic human feelings.
Not to mention anything else, Mrs. Wen is the emperor, and their family is a staunch royalist, in other words, the backer behind them is the royal family of the dynasty, is there anyone in Kyoto who can compare to the royal family!
Wen Hang shook his head, feeling that Jin Yuchen was still too naΓ―ve.
He glanced left and right, and saw that there was nothing unusual around, so he approached Jin Yuchen, and whispered in his ear, "My grandfather does have the name of the emperor, but the other party is the cousin of the prince, and he can often enter the palace to meet the face of the sky, I am still young now, and I can't do things for the family, how can I take the initiative to bring trouble to the family!" β
This is really Wen Hang's heart.
The Wen family accompanied Jin Yuchen to watch the lanterns with Wen Huan and Wen Hang, but unlike Wen Huan, Wen Hang really didn't know anything about Jin Yuchen's identity.
The ignorant are fearless.
Therefore, he dared to speak his heart in front of Jin Yuchen.
Wen Huan on the other side only felt a throbbing pain in his forehead, he was only a little slower than half a beat, and he heard Wen Hang talking to Jin Yuchen in his heart, but can he talk nonsense everywhere casually?
No, the color on Jin Yuchen's face became even more strange.
Wen Huan didn't dare to let Wen Hang and Jin Yuchen talk anymore, who knew what else he could say, so he had to take trouble for the time being.
He glanced at the guards who were still stopping at both ends of the Anhe Bridge, thinking that Xie Huai'an was still very good at talking, so he said to Jin Yuchen, "Don't you think that their young master's approach is wrong?" Why don't we go to the reception building first to see what their young master says, and Mr. Yu and my grandfather are probably already waiting for us in the box now. β
The emperor and Mrs. Wen were indeed already in the box of the welcome building, and they happened to be next door to the box where Xie Huai'an was located.
Wen Hang got Wen Huan's eyes, so he stopped talking, and followed Wen Huan's words and said, "Yes, yes, let's go to the guest house first, I have been standing in the middle of the road and not moving, it is not very like words!" β
Jin Yuchen originally planned to ask further, his cousin has always been well-behaved and obedient in front of him, where is it like the person who bullied people in Wen Hang's mouth!
It's just that the two brothers of the Wen family no longer plan to continue the previous topic, and he can't force the question, so he only wrote down this matter in his heart, and is ready to wait until he returns to the palace, and then ask his father to ask for some people to investigate carefully, if his cousin is indeed as Wen Hang said, he will also ask his father to give his cousin a certain punishment, and on the contrary, he will let the person who talks nonsense receive the punishment he deserves.
Ah Yu in the box had already left the window and sat down at the square table.
Xie Huai'an had already ordered a table of dishes before Ah Yu came, and after Ah Yu came, the little guy in the restaurant began to officially serve the dishes.
He looked at Ah Yu's restless appearance, reached out and filled her with half a bowl of soup, and persuaded Ah Yu, "You don't have to worry so much, everything we can do has already been done, even if the Anhe Bridge will collapse in the next moment, it will not cause any casualties, so you just put your heart in your stomach!" Let's have a bowl of soup first, and we'll have a meal in peace......"
After eating a few meals with Ah Su, Xie Huai'an already had some understanding of Ah Su's habits and tastes when eating, he put the soup bowl on Ah Su's right hand, and then hugged Mao Mao in his arms, took the spoon on the table, and prepared to feed Mao Mao some egg custard first.
The child is now more than a year old and can eat some soft and glutinous meals, but although the food in the restaurant tastes good, it is still too heavy for children, so he specially asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of light egg custard, which is specially used to feed the children.
Seeing that Xie Huai'an was feeding the child wholeheartedly, and knew that no matter how worried he was, it would not have any impact on things, so he temporarily put down his mind and drank the soup in the bowl in small sips.
Xie Huai'an has always done things quickly, even feeding egg custard to children.
When he wiped Maomao's mouth with a handkerchief, the soup in Ah Yu's bowl had not yet been drunk.
Mao Mao was put down on the ground, Xie Huai'an picked up the rice bowl, ready to eat something, who knew that there was a sudden knock at the door, he looked at the dishes on the table, and said thoughtfully, "I also ordered a Xia offering before, I should eat some warm things in winter, I think it should be that the little guy takes too many things, it is not good to open the door, so he will knock on the door, you eat first, I will open the door for him." β
Ah Yu put down the bowl and pulled Mao Mao to his side.
She suddenly felt that something was wrong, charcoal was needed for the Xia offering, and when the little guy in the restaurant served this dish, which time was not two people together, they always knocked on the door, and after getting an answer, they pushed the door in by themselves, where would they keep knocking on the door, but they didn't even say a word.
Sure enough, after Xie Huai'an opened the door, he didn't see the little guy delivering the food, but he saw Wen Huan and Wen Hang, and there was a young man in brocade standing between the two, he felt that this young man in brocade looked very familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it.
Xie Huai'an made a way, he stood by the door frame, looked at Wen Huan and Wen Hang opposite, and said with a smile, "Are Third Brother Wen and Fourth Brother Wen here to find Ah Yu?" We've just started eating, have you eaten? Do you want to sit down and eat some more......" As for the somewhat familiar man among them, he did not greet him.
Wen Huan was stunned, he thought that Ah Yu would not go out on the day of the Lantern Festival.
He was so full of thoughts for a while that he couldn't say anything.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
After Wen Hang coughed twice, seeing that Wen Huan still didn't say a word, he said, "That, we're here to find you." β
Xie Huai paused, a little puzzled as to how these people found him.
Ah Yu had already heard their voices in the box, she led Maomao forward, looked at the group of people who were still standing at the door of the box, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Xie Huai'an, you let my brother and them come in first and then talk, what do you want to do at the door like this!" β
Obviously, when she first came, Ah Yu also heard Xie Huai'an complaining, saying that there were too many people coming to him today to talk about Anheqiao, why is it that now that someone has been replaced by her brother, his mind can't turn around.
When Jin Yuchen and the others walked into the box, someone in the box next door happened to come out and saw this scene.
The man stood in the doorway, forgetting for a moment what he was going out to do, and went into the box again, talking to the others in the box about what he had just seen.
"Yuchen, they went to the box next door, what are they going to do there?" Jin Shengrui glanced at his attendants, waved his hand, and asked them to go down to investigate the people in the box next to them.
His men soon returned with news.
Jin Shengrui looked at Mrs. Wen curiously, "Isn't that little girl from Mr.'s family always like to follow behind the children of the Duan family, when did she play with the children of the Xie family?" β
Mrs. Wen stroked her beard, and said not very carefully, "The preferences of children's families are all the same every day, and we as elders just let them be happy." β
Having said that, Jin Shengrui is still very interested in what can be talked about in the box next door.
I didn't know that the emperor was next door to them, and now I was a little flustered.
She didn't expect that Jin Yuchen would walk to the vicinity of Anhe Bridge so coincidentally, and took the initiative to ask Xie Huai'an about the motive for closing the road, she held her hairy little hand, and felt that her palms were sweating.
Xie Huai'an has prepared no less than dozens of versions of the words he used to explain, and he is struggling with which one to say at this time!
If there was only Wen Huan who came, then he might have told the truth directly, but among the three people opposite, there was another person whose name he couldn't even name, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to say it according to the version prepared earlier.
"What I'm going to say next, you may think it's a fantasy after you hear it, but I can guarantee that what I'm saying is true." Xie Huai'an told the story of the collapse of the Anhe Bridge, and of course, when talking about the source, he pushed the matter on his cousin who was traveling.
There is some truth or falsehood in what he said, and it is difficult to draw conclusions for the time being.
After thinking about Xie Huai'an's words carefully, Jin Yuchen pointed to Ah Yu at the table, and asked, "Then who is she, and why is she in the same box as you?" The reason for asking this is probably that he didn't believe what Xie Huai'an said!
However, the first person to explain was not Xie Huai'an.
Wen Huan walked to Ah Yu's side, blocked Jin Yuchen's gaze at Ah Yu, and explained, "She is my sister......
Immediately afterwards, Xie Huaian said again, "She is my friend, I invite my friend out for a meal, is there a problem!" β
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, there was a sudden roar outside, as if something was collapsing.
Ah Yu subconsciously let go of the child in his arms, got up and went straight to the window, the open window was facing the Anhe Bridge outside, the bridge in the night and the river were integrated, and the appearance of the bridge could not be seen from a distance, but at this time, the bridge was full of people, and from time to time you could hear the sound of someone exclaiming.
She trembled and looked back at Xie Huai'an and the others, "Anhe Bridge, collapsed." β
Although she didn't see whether the Anhe Bridge really collapsed in the dark night, the people on the streets outside were discussing the matter, discussing the Anhe Bridge that was fenced off and not allowed to pass, and suddenly collapsed for no reason.
It really collapsed!
Jin Yuchen was stunned, he originally wanted to accuse Xie Huai'an of messing around, but he didn't expect that the Anhe Bridge had really collapsed.
Xie Huai'an had expected it in his heart, but after the incident really happened, he was also stunned for a moment.
Seeing that the people in the room were a little stunned, he couldn't help but speak, "My guards don't allow anyone to pass by the bridge, and I don't know what the bridge looks like now that the bridge has collapsed, why don't we go over and have a look first?" β
