Chapter 068: Morning and Twilight (8)
Liu Jianran went out in front, and Ximo also followed.
The brook ink sword dye dropped the silver money, and he knew that he was acting rashly again. Zhen's pleading is also useless. The old lady wants to make a scene, give him money and drive him away. He doesn't want silver, he is angry and leaves, but he has a backbone on his face and is good-looking. But a penny is difficult for a hero, what can he do when he goes out? It's nothing more than sleeping on the streets.
Xi ink fixed sword dyeing should go to a place at this time.
It was a teahouse. I also buy food to eat. Now that the weather is cold, hot and painful soup pots are sold everywhere in Jiangcheng. What is a soup pot? It is nothing more than putting a small charcoal stove on the table and putting a small pot on the stove. The charcoal was hot, the water in the pot was boiling, and Xiao Er came over and poured the fish fillets, meatballs, vegetables and fruits into the soup pot in the same way. In a short time, you can eat it. At that time, there will be a second child who will come over and ask if you want wine? Cold or hot wine? Warm or sour? Eat red or black rice? White rice or pasta? Or is it a big steamed bun?
Liu Jian dyed it, just pick a good soup pot.
He let out a long sigh and threw the bun in his hand into the soup pot little by little. It's a rough way to eat. While eating, I have a small pepper on the side.
When Ximo pushed open the box, Liu Jianran was already slightly drunk.
Ximo sat down, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and said to him: "Hugh must be strong." This is a little bit of my heart, and you can take it. ”
The sword dye didn't want it, but on the contrary, he snorted coldly: "It's not mine, what do you want to do, it's not interesting!" ”
Ximo sighed: "In the end, you are short of money." ”
"If you're strapped for money, you'll ask for food."
"Why bother talking about anger? The old lady is old, and she has done some things that I can't get used to. For example, autumn pattern ......"
Jian Ran said: "Autumn pattern is my sister, you have to treat her better!" Even though I'm so poor that I beg for food, I'm just such a godgirl in the end! As he spoke, Jian Ran became emotional, "Shi Ximo, do you know that I am interested in Autumn Patterns...... I ...... to her You know that...... But if I am you, and you have money in hand, you will lack nothing...... Why should I think she should be a girl...... I'll just, just ......" Before he finished speaking, he poured another glass of wine into his mouth, his face bitter, "Actually, I envy you, I really envy you." ”
Ximo frowned slightly.
Spit out the truth after drinking.
What Jian Ran was going to say, in fact, he guessed it.
Kenzome fell in love with Autumn Patterns. It's just for the sake of face and the embarrassment at hand, he can't say. Because of the fear of rejection, and for fear of disturbing her heart.
Ximo sighed: "You can't drink anymore." ”
"Hugh wants you to take care of it."
Jian Ran pushed Ximo away, but Ximo still snatched his wine glass: "Wine also hurts the body, just drink it." ”
"Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk. I'm going to get myself drunk. Others, horizontally or vertically. I have to learn from that Liu Ling, I don't have clothes to cover my body, and I need to be the same as that Ruan Ji, just find a grave and cry and sleep. Shi Ximo, I envy you, and I envy you even more. You are so rich, but you are vassal, what kind of cottage do you call your house! Tonight, I won't go back with you. The old lady has lost all of me, how can I get it back? I'm also a roundabout person, and Su Ri often takes some fresh gadgets to honor her. When the old lady is happy, I am happy. But she's not my real grandmother. Hehe......" Jian Ran sneered again, "She drove me away for you." First, I am afraid that I will influence you and lead you crookedly. Second, I'm a big man living in a grass house, delaying your marriage, and I'm even more afraid of others making irresponsible comments. I know what little ninety-nine the old lady has in her heart! ”
Liu Jianran has made up his mind.
Ximo was helpless.
He asked silently: "Don't say anything else, it's just the king of Bac Ninh......"
After all, they are all the people of the king of Bac Ninh, serving the peace and tranquility of the world. Although the river city is calm, Kyoto is already killing. Those old ministers who were loyal to the previous emperor were imprisoned because they refused to obey the new emperor, and some were even exiled to the deserted fortress, or they were left to fend for themselves in the miasma of southern Xinjiang.
The king of Bac Ninh raised his army, and the time was not far off.
Father Shi Yuan is safe. But once the war breaks out, the father and son are not reunited, but fighting, so what? Ximo only hopes that everything can be resolved peacefully. But it is impossible to abdicate the monarch. Force also needs to be resolved by force. Shi Yuan only hoped that his father would have a long-term vision and stand on King Ning's side at a critical moment.
It's hard.
However, for the sake of the world, Ximo had to use the method of imprisonment to embarrass his father.
As soon as Liu Jianran heard the three words of the King of Beining, he looked at Ximo: "Is there really nothing I can do?" Shi Ximo, you treat me well, I know. I still regard you as a brother in my heart. Our feelings remain the same. But I'm leaving. I'm going to go to the king of Bac Ninh. Instead of you and I discussing, I might as well go directly to him. As soon as there is news, I will release the hoopoe bird to carry a letter to you. ”
Ximo pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay." ”
The king of Bac Ninh is not in the capital, but far away on the frontier. Liu Jianran wants to go, and it costs a little silver on the way. And he's always been used to being big-eyed. Ximo still persuaded him to accept the silver ticket. "So, you take it first. If you want to use it, use a little. If you can't use it up, buy some clothes and give them to the soldiers under King Ning. It's cold, and they need more to keep out the cold. ”
This reason made Kendye unable to refuse.
He said bitterly: "Ximo, you can always persuade me. Okay, then I'll take it. He hid the silver ticket in his arms, stood up, and said to Ximo: "I'm going to find an inn to sleep in, you don't have to follow me, go back quickly." ”
"If you go, write back to me."
Jian Dye knows martial arts, even if he is alone, he will not encounter danger on the road, but he is still worried.
Jian Ran smiled and turned his head in a chic manner: "Shi Ximo, I hate your mother-in-law." I'm leaving, and I'll leave my autumn pattern girl to you. You can treat her better. However, I can see that you treat her differently than others. I don't say this in vain. ”
He lowered his head again.
The two had a tacit understanding.
"In that case, then go back with me and say goodbye to Autumn Pattern."
But Jian Ran wanted to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
"If I go again, I will not be a man of faith. Speak to her. I'm going to say goodbye to her here. You're rich, I'm a sojourner. In the end, I need to do a lot of work before I can raise my eyebrows. ”
Since the defeat of the Liu family, Jian Ran has been holding his breath in his heart.
"Good. Then I am waiting for your letter. King Xiangning will be happy to see you. ”
The two then said goodbye on the street.
Ximo walked down a crooked side street. The lights are still bright ahead. Those who sell sugar gourds along the street, knead clay people, and sell sugar fried chestnuts, are endless.
Ximo smelled the fried chestnuts, and suddenly remembered that it was better to buy some and bring them to Jian Dye for snacks on the way. When he bought it, he asked about the inn where Jian Ran went out, and the store only said that he hadn't seen Liu Ye for a long time.
Ximo is unwilling.
On a lively street in Jiangcheng, I inquired one by one.
It was as if Liu Jianran was missing.
Ximo was helpless, carrying a bag of fried chestnuts, and went back gloomily. Shifu is naturally one of the largest households in Jiangcheng. is not only an official, but also earns a living, both rich and expensive. Looking at the majestic courtyard in the shadow of the trees in front of him, he suddenly didn't want to go in.
Wandering and wandering, decided to enter through the side door.
Before he reached the side door, Ximo heard a little movement in the front ear room, as if there was some noise, at first glance, there was more than one person inside, at least five or six people. He sensed something, and sniffed out the smell of wine. wanted to come forward, but Fang felt that it was inappropriate, so it was better to find a few elderly mothers and ask about it. Suddenly, a few people suddenly came out from behind the ear room, and Ximo knew that it was the family member guarding the main gate of the house. These people are all strong and strong.
Suddenly, someone came up with a lantern and a stick.
Crashed into the ear room, and sure enough, as he expected, there were five or six mothers hidden in the ear room. They smell of alcohol, have dominoes in their hands, and are blindly having fun. On the table and on the ground, there were stacks of copper coins.
It seems that the old lady hates her family the most for gathering people to gamble for money. As soon as this man got involved in gambling, the others followed. It's not good with reputation. Today, it is another ploy made by the old lady.
Everyone knows that the old lady is angry for Liu Ye's business. And Qilan is sick again and can't come out to mediate. The people of Xuanruitang looked at them all with joy. The old lady also seemed to be sick, and she had no energy to eat at noon and night. As soon as the old lady slacked off, so did the people below. And Aunt Sun is not here today, according to a mother-in-law she followed, she may not come back today, and she stayed at her mother's house.
The second master is a person who doesn't care about things, and blindly enjoys in the courtyard, but he is a Hades who doesn't care about the heavens and the earth. Helplessly, the old lady favored him, and she couldn't hear anyone say that the second master was not good.
The lord is not there. Madame was not there either.
How many young ladies are still children. There is one Aunt Wen left, and it is also a gourd with a sawed mouth, not to mention that it doesn't matter. Although there are one or two elderly aunts in the old lady's house, they are all living bodhisattvas, and they are offered, and they sleep in addition to eating and drinking every day.
The general manager Yuan Sheng told the old man to return to his hometown.
The second manager, Li Xiangui, and other people in charge of affairs, didn't know where to hide at night to drink and complain, but they couldn't find it. Some of the subordinates immediately became rampant.
Drinking, drinking, gambling money, and having fun.
Not to mention this ear room, in other places in the house, there are also people who take wine and play different dice. This is cold, just when everyone is happy, the old lady sent someone to check the room, can it be shocking?
Without Qilan, there will be no one in the old lady's house?
Of course not.
In her house, there are also years of companionship, a grandmother who has been with her for many years, and a competent account room. The one who led a group of people out for spot checks today was a person named Wang Zixing next to the old lady. This person is the husband of an old lady's roommate, and manages private accounts in the old lady's house. The prince is a little older, but shrewd and capable.
What is a private account? It is nothing more than the personal affection of the old lady and other noblewomen. For example, on the birthday of the old lady, the gold, silver, silk, jewelry, calligraphy and painting, and antiques sent by other ladies in the house...... Some are worthless, some are valuable. Qilan is in charge of the old lady's dowry, jewelry, daily wear, eating and drinking medicinal herbs. Others, this favor is convenient, and Qilan is not touched.
