Chapter 289: Sweet Water Ah Xiang
"Lord Wang, I don't know, Lord Zhao is deliberately talking about him left and right, borrowing his unintentional words, so that you can write it down and listen, this is exactly the genius of Lord Zhao."
Shi Zhengzhi told Su Jingye in a deep voice, and then raised his chin and lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Ming, Su Jingye could only shake his head and smile lightly. Zhao Ming looked uncomfortable for him, and no matter how unsightly he and Shi Zhengcheng were before, he waved his right hand flatteringly.
"Lord Shi has an overreputation, people live in the world, there should always be his own way of dealing with people, this is also the experience of the first half of Xiaguan's life, if Lord Shi is curious, Xiaguan can also discuss it with you."
"No need, I'm used to myself now, if I learn your style, I'm afraid I'll make myself a ghost." Shi Zhengcheng refused very firmly.
Seeing Shi Zhengzhi avoiding him like a snake and scorpion, Zhao Ming immediately laughed as if he had gained some benefit, "Naturally, this method that Xia Guan has finally learned is not something that everyone can learn, if Lord Shi is afraid of trouble, forget it." ”
As a man, I hate it when people talk like this in front of me. These words sounded obviously provocative, Shi Zhengzhi slowly turned his head, the masseter muscles on the side of his mouth were particularly obvious, and it looked like he was biting his back molars fiercely.
"Lord Zhao, is this going to compete with this official, this official doesn't say how powerful, learning things is still fast, if you have the heart to explain, believe it or not, this official can be blue."
"Well, why don't you fight in such a thing, and you are not afraid of being known to jokes." Su Jingye wrinkled his brows and looked helpless, and hurriedly came out to play the round. Zhao Ming was very smug and smiled, Shi Zhengzhi was rarely deflated, and turned his head unhappily.
"Actually, this time I went over not to get the exact appearance of that person, if we say it, why don't we ask Wu Sanniang."
Su Jingye's words were like an initiation, making Zhao Ming react instantly. "What the prince said is true, then ......"
"Wu Sanniang knows what she looks like, but she may not know her name. This sachet has just come out, and generally the spice shop will keep a record of regular customers or special customers, and then we will hang out the name and appearance together to find it, and it will be easier to find it. ”
Su Jingye said, lifted the curtain, and the scene outside the car window was not much different from what he saw when he first came.
"Lord Wang, who told you that you would keep a record." Su Jingye was only enough to ask by himself, and he didn't pay attention to the strange expressions on the faces of Zhao Ming and Shi Zhengzhi next to him.
"I think many shops in Liuyu have such a rule, isn't it the same in other places?" Hearing this, both of them had the same stiff smile on their faces.
Shi Zhengzhi coughed lightly and put his hand on Su Jingye's shoulder, "Although the language is not the same, maybe some places will follow suit, and the prince doesn't have to worry." ”
Su Jingye was stunned for a moment, and understood what he meant, the muscles on his face were like frozen, and he couldn't move. "Well, let's take it one step at a time, and we'll talk about it then."
Angrily dropping the curtain in his hand, Su Jingye simply closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate. Vaguely felt that the carriage had turned a few corners, and Su Jingye could hear the sound of horses' hooves echoing back and forth between the houses.
Shi Zhengzhi on the opposite side opened the curtain, and Su Jingye took advantage of this convenience to look out and see a pink and white wall.
As the proprietress said, this fragrant and knowledgeable grandmother lives in the middle of Sweet Water Lane, and there is a stone road next to her yard that is only accessible to one person and extends to the market.
Every day when it was close to evening, Grandma Xiang brought her own bench out to choose vegetables, and there was no one at home, only a Dalmatian dog to accompany her, defending against outsiders.
In order not to scare the old man and the dog, and the narrower and narrower the Sweet Water Alley became, Su Jingye got out of the car with the two people next to him and decided to walk to find someone.
This Sweet Water Alley is not very wide, but it is very deep, and the few of them have been walking in it for an unknown amount of time before they finally see a similar grandmother appear.
This old man was the first to be discovered by Zhao Ming, and he looked around the yard several times, but he never saw the Dalmatian dog that protected his owner.
But other than that, there was no other person on the side to open the door, so Zhao Ming had no choice but to squat next to his grandmother to help her choose vegetables together, and inquire by the way.
"This aunt, have you heard that there is a grandmother surnamed Xiang around here?" The alley was extremely quiet, and Zhao Ming's voice quickly attracted Su Jingye, who was moving separately and passing by the corner in front of them.
The grandmother raised her head, and Zhao Ming found that her eyes were blank and seemed to be blind. No wonder the proprietress made a special mention that she could recognize it blindfolded, but it turned out that Grandma couldn't see it.
Grandma waved her hands and opened her mouth, and her snow-white teeth were neat and intact. At this time, Su Jingye and the two of them also approached, standing beside Grandma, who didn't pay attention.
"Young man, do you have anything to do with her?"
"I-" Zhao Ming was about to continue, but was interrupted by his grandmother, "I am." ”
When the words landed, Zhao Ming slowly closed his mouth, with a look of grievance, and the two people standing on the side couldn't help laughing. I didn't expect this grandma to be so old, but she likes to joke.
"That's right, Grandma Xiang, we have something we want you to identify for us, is it convenient for you now?" Shi Zhengzhi coughed lightly twice, barely stopped laughing, and hurriedly took the sachet he picked up from Su Jingye's hand and handed it over.
Since the object of his speech was the old man, Shi Zhengzhi deliberately slowed down his tone and spoke extremely softly, but this time it was reversed and replaced by Zhao Ming's ridicule.
Grandma Xiang turned her head in the direction of the voice, but did not reach out to take the object. "You kid can't speak too much, I'll just pick a few vegetable leaves, why don't you have time, isn't this a gesture?"
"There's one thing, I can't see clearly, can you help me look at which leaves have insect eyes on them?"
"That's fine." Shi Zhengzhi patted his face and forcibly calmed his temper. "And how did you get rid of those insect-eyed leaves before?"
"Where you can use it, it's just a few bites from the insects, and it's not that you can't eat it." Shi Zhengzhi was originally just a kind word of care, but in exchange for Grandma Xiang's silent shaking of her head and sighing, Shi Zhengcheng was a little mentally broken.
"Grandma, we'll pick this dish for you, you better take a look at this sachet for us first."
Su Jingye laughed enough, squatted down, took the vegetable basket directly from Grandma's hand, and gently pushed Shi Zhengzhi, and Shi Zhengzhi immediately stuffed the things in his hand into Grandma's hand.
"It's a Rausch thing, it's a nuisance. The embroidery is not good, the fabric is not good, who makes this kind of thing? If it were when I was young, I would have been beaten by my goddaughter Hong's master. ”
Grandma touched the sachet in her hand, pursed her lips, and didn't smell the fragrance, so she threw the sachet aside, and took the vegetable basket back from Su Jingye's hand.
"Listen to the voice, you are all young men, how do young people know how to choose vegetables, or I will come by myself, you will save me more than half of it, and I won't be able to eat at night."
In the vegetable basket is the vegetables grown by Grandma in the small courtyard, because there is no insect and weed control, the leaves have been bitten out of many holes in a row. Su Jingye glanced at them and wanted to throw them all away, but he happened to fall for Grandma's prediction.
This came over, the three of them were robbed by the grandmother one after another, and the usual good eloquence came to the front of the previous generation, but it was useless, no wonder there is an old saying called ginger is still old and spicy.
The three of them squatted in one place and looked at each other, no one dared to speak first, looking like they were frightened by their grandmother. But such a stalemate is not a way, and in the end they decided that Zhao Ming, who managed the case, would be the first bird.
Zhao Ming hung his hands and stayed in place, and the other two people had already taken the time to run away.
"Young man, don't be stunned here, help me get my dog back, it's been out for a long time." Zhao Ming hesitated for a long time and never spoke, and the situation instantly changed to Grandma's initiative.
"Dogs will come back on their own, grandma, don't worry, it must have gone out to play." Zhao Ming waved his hand with a deflated mouth, moved a few steps to the side, and rubbed Grandma's shoulders and back.
The so-called people who don't stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces have to give benefits first and then make demands so that they are not easy to be refused.
"Don't hammer me, my body is hard against your hammer, I only find that my whole body is about to fall apart." But the truth is always unexpected, and Grandma doesn't feel half happy about Zhao Ming's flattery.
"My dog never goes out to play, and he won't be by my side today, because I told him to go to the alley and ask the uncle who sells meat for two ribs. But now that it's been so long, and it hasn't come back yet, can I not worry? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ming's whole person was a little stunned. Not to mention whether the dog can really understand human speech and buy things for the owner, it is the task assigned by Grandma, which is also a bit incredible.
Asking a puppy to buy bones is not the equivalent of a meat bun beating a dog and never going back.
"Listen to you, the dog will be back soon." Zhao Ming withdrew his hand and looked at Su Jingye, their eyes were bitter, and they stretched out their right hand fingers in disbelief and turned around their heads.
Is this Grandma Xiang blind or mentally ill, pinning such an important clue on her, and finally telling a place is okay, but if it is a valley or riverside water, do you have to take it seriously?
