Chapter 43: An Unexpectedly Reunion
In the end, Wei Shaoguang bought the strange folding fan.
However, she did not leave the store directly, but continued to rummage through the objects in the store. There are a lot of things in it, and Wei Shaoguang hopes to find more things about Zephy Island, but no.
With the folding fan in her hand, she decided to ask the shopkeeper.
"I don't know, does this fan have a name?" Wei Shaoguang asked the old man who was reading a book.
The old man looked away from the book and looked at Wei Shaoguang, although he was old, there was a specious gaze in his eyes that still had a look, the old man laughed, stroked his beard, and said, "The old man doesn't know either, the little boy might as well choose a name himself." ”
"The problem is here, I think I get a name that doesn't seem to fit the artistic conception of this folding fan, since the old man said that there is no name, then there is no name, but there are some regrets, after all, this folding fan is very unique, I like it very much." Wei Shaoguang opened the folding fan and carefully looked at the patterns and words on the fan, his eyes showing regret.
The shopkeeper put down the book in his hand, looked at Wei Shaoguang, and after a while, he got up and took out a worn-out book from a corner behind the counter and put it on the counter, "This is collected with a fan, if you are interested, take it away and take a look, I will give it to you if it is old." ”
Wei Shaoguang picked up the booklet, glanced at the cover, and thanked the owner of the shop very happily, "Thank you very much, uncle, I happen to like collecting old books and strange writings." ”
"There's another question I'd like to ask the uncle." Wei Shaoguang hit the snake with the stick, and asked cheekily.
The old man ignored her, but she was not discouraged, and said her own question, "I don't know where you got these things, uncle?" I've been collecting these objects all the time, but I can't always get anything valuable, alas! I beg the old man to tell me. Wei Shaoguang said pitiful and sincere.
The old man glanced at her obliquely, and said very politely, "That's you stupid!" Deceived, young man! ”
"Yes, yes, I was deceived." Wei Shaoguang followed him, "So, please tell me where you got these things from." ”
She squinted and smiled, spoke flatteringly, and took advantage of her young age, but she was not deliberate, but a little childish.
This trick is generally useful for older people, and sure enough, the old man stroked his beard and said duplicitously, "The old thing is obtained from the hands of a dying person, the old man can only tell you so much, the old man is old, and he regrets his life." ”
Wei Shaoguang arched his hand, "That's enough, thank you Uncle for being willing to tell me, you can try to do good deeds in the future, and save people who are dying, maybe there will be adventures, just like Uncle Lao." ”
The old man who looked at the store looked at Wei Shaoguang with the eyes of a fool, although he didn't speak, but this was enough for the finch to see clearly, she wanted to open her mouth to speak, but Wei Shaoguang grabbed her sleeve.
"Uncle, I'm leaving, thank you for the books and folding fans." She raised the book and folding fan in her hand, politely said goodbye, and left.
Que'er followed Wei Shaoguang out of the small shop, and after holding back her words and knowing that after turning a corner, Wei Shaoguang let go of her sleeves, and she asked Wei Shaoguang angrily, "Childe, why didn't you let me speak just now?" ”
Wei Shaoguang stood under the eaves of the street corner, looked up at the bright sunshine, and talked to the finch sideways, the shadow of the eaves cast on her face, covering her eyes and nose, and her expression was not clear.
"Finch, I'm willing to let the old man do that."
"Why? Childe, haven't you seen it? It's infuriating that you just ask him where he got the book, and he dares to look at you like that! The little girl was very angry and saw it.
Wei Shaoguang chuckled and patted the little girl's shoulder, "Finch, hold your breath, don't be angry, it's going to be ugly." ”
"Childe!"
"Hahaha, let's go." Wei Shaoguang turned around and left the corner, walking forward.
Pedestrians on the street are like water, the sound of selling and talking is mixed together, the smoke rises from the food stalls, the aroma is scattered, and the red color of the rock sugar gourd and the caramel color of the sugar people together constitute the smell of fireworks on this street.
Wei Shaoguang slowly walked down the street with a folding fan, casually looking at the things sold around her, the finch followed behind her, and two guards followed from afar.
Wei Shaoguang walked and watched, and when he saw something interesting, he stopped and looked at it for a while, and when it was noon, Wei Shaoguang decided not to go back, but to eat in the restaurant outside.
"Excuse me, go back, and tell Yongzhi, I won't be back at noon." Wei Shaoguang beckoned to the two people behind him, and bothered one of them to go back to the main court to explain, and the people in the provincial government were anxious.
"You don't have to come back when you go back, I'll go back after a while." Wei Shaoguang commanded the man.
"Yes, Childe." One of the guards left.
Wei Shaoguang walked into the restaurant with Que Er and the only remaining guard.
The name of this restaurant is: Xiaowei Building.
It's a simple and interesting name.
Wei Shaoguang walked in with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and met the enthusiastic shopkeeper in front of him.
"Three guest officers, please!"
The voice is loud.
What a standard ancient waiter.
Wei Shaoguang's thoughts were a little off, and she quickly pulled it back, and she asked Xiao Er, "But there is still a private room?" ”
"Yo! Unfortunately, the last private room happened to be asked for by a master, or, the small one will find you a secluded location? This little er's voice and tone when he spoke were like a cross talker, and the tone was frustrated, and the expression on his face was also colorful.
Looking at a face, Wei Shaoguang smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
"Okay! Guest officer, please! Xiao Er led them inside, went up to the second floor, and led to a window position.
The table was a square table, next to the window, and now a gentle breeze was blowing in from the window.
Wei Shaoguang sat down first, and he could see the street outside from the window, which was not bad.
"That's it, Xiao Er, just serve a few signature dishes in your store, although I am the first to come, Xiao Er should not treat us badly." Wei Shaoguang smiled and talked to the shopkeeper, "Remember to put on a pot of apricot blossom wine." ”
"Gotcha! Guest, our store is a time-honored brand, and we will never deceive customers, so you can rest assured. The shopkeeper was also refreshing, and as soon as he said a few beautiful words, he turned around and went downstairs to do things.
Wei Shaoguang but silently smiled, she looked at the scenery outside the window, and when she turned her head, she found that the finch and the guard were still standing, she thought for a moment, and said to the two people funny, "Sit down and eat together." Well, you should listen to what I say, don't care about the division between master and servant, in my place, as long as you don't betray me, I don't care about these boring classes, sit down. ”
"I don't want to say it a second time."
Wei Shaoguang didn't say anything serious, and he didn't even get angry in his tone, let alone be angry, but Que'er already had a certain understanding of Wei Shaoguang's temper, and knew that although Wei Shaoguang looked kind and gentle, he insisted on his own ideas.
So, she tugged at the sleeve of the guard behind her, motioning for him to sit down.
"Thank you, Childe." Que'er sat across from Wei Shaoguang, and the guard also sat diagonally across from Shaoguang.
Shaguang nodded with satisfaction, propped her elbows on the table, her chin in her hand, and lazily looked at the street scene below, the breeze blew her sideburns, and there was a hint of sweetness in the wind, it should be the fragrance of flowers.
Shaking Light thought about what it would be, and asked the guard's name in a leisurely manner.
came out together, and you can't always know what people are calling.
Wei Shaoguang looked sideways at the guard, waiting for his answer.
It's also Wei Shaoguang's luck, the guard left behind is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and should have absolute loyalty and execution ability.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the desktop, and told Wei Shaoguang his name in a restrained and calm manner, "If you go back to Gongzi, the little one is called Xiahou Ming." ”
"Xiahou Ming? But the surname is Xiahou? It's a great name. Wei Shaoguang suddenly came to his senses and asked Xiahou Ming.
Xiahou Ming nodded and said, "Thank you for the compliment, the little one is indeed surnamed Xiahou." ”
"It is said that people with compound surnames are generally not mortals, with unique skills or extreme intelligence, I don't know what Xiahou Ming will do?" Wei Shaoguang looked at him expectantly.
And Xiahou Ming became more restrained because of this sentence, he clenched his fists, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and thought about how to answer, and after a while, he replied and shook the light and said, "The little one can use a knife, and he has read a little art of war book before, but the little one has never been on the battlefield." ”
Know the art of war?
Wei Shaoguang translated it directly.
She suddenly found out that there were really strange people in this house, and asked her to pick one accurately.
"Yes, Xiahou Ming, you can follow me in the future, how about it? If you agree, I'll go back and tell Yongzhi that if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, don't force it. "Wei Shaoguang does lack a person around him who can run errands, and this person should have few words and high execution.
Xiahou Ming saw that it was not bad, so try it first.
Xiahou Ming agreed, he actually had no right to refuse, but Wei Shaoguang asked for his opinion, and he agreed more willingly.
Wei Shaoguang was still very happy about getting a help unexpectedly, she smiled happily, and when she turned her head to look at the street scene outside the window again, she saw a person in the crowd who would definitely not appear here.
She blinked, and when she looked closer, the figure disappeared again, and just as she thought it was her own eyes, the familiar figure had already appeared downstairs, and was looking upstairs.
Wei Shaoguang was surprised for a moment, then stretched out his hand and waved at the people downstairs.
The white palms are slightly calloused, the five fingers are slender, and the neatly manicured nails reveal a healthy pink color in the sunlight.
The people downstairs looked at her and smiled slightly, with the attitude of a noble son, Wei Shaoguang looked at him, and said to him helplessly, "Come on, seventeen." ”
That's right, this person is Jiang Seventeen, who should be in Zhengyang County in the northwest.
Wei Shaoguang's mood was a little complicated, she sat on the stool, staring at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor with her head propped up, and soon, a handsome boy wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved shirt walked up, holding a folding fan in his hand, shaking it gently, and walked slowly step by step.
Wei Shaoguang stood up and went to greet him.
"Seventeen, long time no see."
In the first sentence, Wei Shaoguang said this.
Jiang Qiqi raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, and said to Shaoguang with a smile, "It's been a long time." He paused, his smile deepened, "Yuheng." ”
Wei Shaoguang slapped his hand and stretched out his finger to the position by the window, "I'm going to wronged you, come on, let's eat together." ”
"It's okay, I've been hungry all the way." Jiang Seventeen didn't care about this, and followed Shaoguang over.
"You sit inside."
Wei Shaoguang knew how serious this person's laziness was, he had to lean on the wall, and he would never sit well if he could be paralyzed.
Sure enough, Jiang Qiqi smiled appreciatively at the shaking light, sat in the innermost, and naturally leaned against the wall and table, very lazy.
Wei Shaoguang sat outside, and she introduced Jiang Seventeen to the two of them.
"Que'er, Xiahou Ming, this is my good friend, Jiang Seventeen." She didn't say much else, because there was no need.
Jiang Qiqi leaned there lazily, and when he heard the words, he smiled and greeted the two of them.
"Seventeen, these two are my little girl and the guard Xia Houming who I just found." Wei Shaoguang also told Jiang Qiqi about the identities of the two opposite.
"Guards? Well, Yuheng is indeed needed, after all, he is weak, hahaha. A low laugh sounded like it was resonating in his chest, which was not a good description, but his laughter was rare and pleasant.
Wei Shaoguang knew that he was laughing at himself, but it didn't matter, just let him joke.
At this time, Xiao Er brought the wine and food, shook the light to help set it up, and called Xiao Er and instructed: "Bother Xiao Er to give us another bamboo shoots and melons, the kind that is stir-fried, make it lighter, my friend is not very good at eating spicy."
"Gotcha! Guest, wait a minute. Xiao Er readily agreed, turned around and went downstairs.
Wei Shaoguang began to greet a few people for dinner.
Originally, I thought it was just the three of them, and the order was more casual, but I just asked Xiao Er to send a few signature dishes from the store, so it was not clear that these dishes were shaken, but it looked good, she tasted a few dishes, and her eyes showed approval.
However, Jiang Seventeen eats relatively little, and Shaoguang still has a little understanding of his preferences, when they ate together in Qingpingfang, Shaoguang roughly remembered some of Jiang Seventeen's preferences, such as he can't eat spicy, not at all, and he has a light diet.
Live a special health care.
When Wei Shaoguang was ordering food at that time, he silently complained about him.
It's a bit ashamed to think about it now.
A bowl of fish soup came into view, and she took her eyes off the plate in front of her and went to look at her master.
"You like soup, I remember."
"Well, Seventeen even knew this, and he was suddenly moved." Shake Light smiled, holding the bowl and happily began to drink the soup.
Jiang Qiqi was still lazy, and his voice was the same as his temperament, calm and steady, "You remember what I like to eat, of course I can also remember that you like to drink soup, after all, in the past, when you were in Qingpingfang, you loved soup in Qingpingfang, and ordinary people can't forget it." ”
There is fish soup in the mouth, and he doesn't care about shaking the light.
Xiao Er also brought up the fried bamboo shoots and melons, and the four of them happily finished lunch and left.
On the street, the light is slowly preparing to return to the main garden.
"Seventeen, will you live in Lizheng Yuan this time?"
Jiang Qiqi looked at her sideways and rubbed her hair, "Of course, I have nowhere to go back." ”
