Chapter 56: Rice (I)

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] It's him! It was the military attache he bumped into at the dock yesterday. How could it be him!

The military attaché's eyes swept around the crowd. Ask the partner to go first.

"Yuan Bin, you kid is heavy on sex and light on friends, and you can't walk when you see a beautiful girl."

"Legs can be soft, but they can't be soft!"

"Haha!"

The accompanying military attaches were all smuggling, and they were not hiding their mouths and telling meat jokes.

Although Ruixue didn't understand it, she also knew that it was not a good word. Since I was a child, I have been by Zhao Xiyun's side, and I heard Aunt Cui say that good women are not allowed to throw their heads and faces, and remember not to laugh with men.

She hung her head, leaving only a snow-white neck, and her red ears corresponded to it, causing the military attachés to smack their tongues.

Yuan Bin smiled: "Didn't I hear her say that there are bad people chasing her?" She was the one who ran down from the boat yesterday. ”

Ruixue was even more uneasy when she heard him mention that she had run off the boat.

He recognized himself!

She flinched a little. But where can she run now? There is an official in front of him, and there is a man in the back.

Damn it!

How could I bump into him if I was so good! He poisoned the two men with food, and it seemed that the situation was very bad, did he want to take himself to the yamen? No, she still has to find her father, and she ......

"I don't know, don't take me to the yamen. I'm still looking for my dad, I really don't know anything. ”

Ruixue was clearly frightened by her own thoughts. From that day and night, when the passenger boat was robbed by river pirates, and her father withdrew from the boat with the plank, she was frightened; and then was sold in disguise; Until now...... She was exhausted. If it weren't for the strong insistence in her heart to find Wang Jiuzhi, she would have been sitting on the ground and couldn't get up, she really wanted to sleep well.

Yuan Bin saw that Ruixue's complexion changed suddenly, and his whole body was still trembling, and he couldn't help but say slowly: "Don't be afraid, I won't take you to the yamen, don't be afraid." ”

He doesn't seem to be able to coax girls, his voice is lower, and the speed of his speech is slower, but the natural hardness in his mouth makes people always listen to it perfunctory.

The military attachés were also stunned. Immediately relieved, which girl likes to go to the yamen. Hehe, the little girl was frightened by them. In front of a little girl with a beautiful face, they vied with each other to show pity for the jade, patting their chests and promising that they would never send her to the yamen.

But their attitude is clearly counterproductive.

Ruixue stepped back slightly.

Yuan Bin motioned to his companions to stop talking, and said apologetically: "You're fine." The girls in the boat are ready to go home, and if you are with them, you can go with them. ”

"I don't know them. I woke up like that. My father and I took a boat from Quanjiao to Nanjing, and we met river pirates on the way......"

"River pirates?!"

The military attachés on their horses asked in unison.

Ruixue looked at them with obvious disbelief, and she tried hard to explain that what she said was true.

Yuan Bin stopped her: "You haven't eaten yet." I'll treat you to dinner. The sun was too strong. ”

Eating at this time is the biggest temptation for Ruixue, although she ate two chicken legs last night, but after running all morning, she was already hungry. Now standing in the sun, I am even more thirsty and sunny.

After receiving Yuan Bin's signal, the rest of the military attaches arched their hands and smiled at Rui Xue, and rode away.

Look at the horses galloping away. Ruixue thought it must be very comfortable to ride a horse in the summer, because when they flew past them, they brought a gust of wind. Although the wind was hot, it was very comfortable for her at this time.

Yuan Bin led the horse and led Ruixue away, passed through the tall Drum Tower City Gate, and walked slowly along the street.

"This is a barracks."

Yuan Bin seemed to explain something to Rui Xue.

Maybe it's this explanation that makes Ruixue's inner fear disappear a little. Along the way, she always looked uneasily, trying to see if the man was following. Although she is safe for the time being, it does not mean that she will still be safe after Yuan Bin is separated from herself.

Yuan Bin took Rui Xue to a tavern he frequented. Because of the proximity to the barracks, there are many taverns in this area, which are also the business of the officers, and they don't pay attention to anything, as long as there is wine.

Because it was noon, it was hot, and the soldiers in the barracks could not be late, and there was no one in the store. The young man put together two benches and curled up for a nap; The shopkeeper fiddled with his abacus behind the counter, took a pen and made a few notes in the ledger, and yawned from time to time.

"Old Yu!"

Yuan Bin is obviously familiar with the shopkeeper, and his words are not as formal as Fang Cai's words, and he is a little more easy-going. It seems that people are much more friendly.

Shopkeeper Yu raised his head with a smile, and saw Rui Xue following behind Yuan Bin, and greeted him with a smile: "Lord Yuan, this ......"

"Get her something to eat."

Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly ran to the back to greet him.

Yuan Bin found a seat, asked Rui Xue to do it, and poured some tea for Rui Xue. The little girl's lips were already dry and peeling.

Ruixue took a shallow sip of the tea bowl, suppressing the urge to pour a stream of tea into her mouth.

Yuan Bin took a big sip of the tea bowl and wiped his mouth.

Seeing that Yuan Bin drank the water, Rui Xue drank the water in the tea bowl. If there's one of the best in the world, it's probably water. After a bowl of herbal tea, the body exposed to the sun finally came back to life.

She wanted to drink another bowl of tea, but she drank it a little quickly, and her mouth was still a little dry. But it was taboo for Yuan Bin to sit opposite, and it was difficult to do it.

Yuan Bin lifted the teapot and poured half a bowl of tea for Ruixue.

Ruixue smiled at him gratefully, and took a full cup of tea, taking each sip in her mouth for a while before swallowing it.

"Quan Jiao is far from here?"

Ruixue put down the tea bowl and shook her head: "It's not far." Dad said that the boat ride was just a day and a night's work. ”

Yuan Bin nodded and said with a smile: "Quanjiao has a Zhao family that is very famous, isn't it?" ”

As soon as Rui Xue heard the word Zhao, her body stiffened slightly, she looked at Yuan Bin puzzled, he asked what was this for?

At this time, the chief examiner of the township examination, Lord Zhao Youliang, is a native of Quanjiao County. I've heard that Lord Zhao's father and younger brother are both from the top of the list, but is it true? ”

Ruixue nodded stiffly. Zhao Youliang is the eldest son of Old Lady Zhao, although she has never seen him, but she has heard of the name of this second-class top jinshi.

"Really? I've been hearing adults talk about this for the past few days. ”

Yuan Bin seemed to be narrowing the distance with Ruixue, but the more he mentioned the matter of the Zhao family, the more uncomfortable Ruixue felt. It seems that no matter where you go, you will be involved with the Zhao family. She really didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family anymore. Things have come to this point today because of Second Mrs. Zhao, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have separated from her father.

"It's boring!" Yuan Bin said with a smile, "The township test is coming soon." The examiner and the students always like to be brought out and talked. ”

Ruixue smiled lightly. Yes, the township test is coming, and Zhao Xihou is also coming to Nanjing! She held the tea bowl tightly and asked cautiously, "Where will the township examination be taken?" ”

Shopkeeper Yu came out with food, and when he heard Rui Xue ask where the township test was, he said with a smile: "Of course it's in the Gongyuan." ”

"Is that close?"

Shopkeeper Yu set the meal and said with a smile: "Far away." We are in the north of the city, and the Gongyuan is in the south of the city, on the edge of the Qinhuai River. Taoyedu is on the side, and those showmen like to run there to chant poems the most. When the time comes, please ask Lord Yuan to take you to have a look, and then try our Nanjing cuisine, and make sure you applaud. ”

He obviously regarded Rui Xue as someone who was familiar with Yuan Bin, and he was very enthusiastic when greeting him.

Ruixue was obviously a little repulsed by being overly enthusiastic about people, she lowered her head, but didn't move.

"Shopkeeper Yu, you go and get busy with yours." It was Yuan Bin who helped Rui Xue relieve the siege and added vegetables for her, "Eat." ”

Ruixue was relieved. She was afraid that if this was too close to the Gongyuan, it would be over if Mrs. Zhao knew that she was in Nanjing. Dad is right, Mrs. Zhao let herself go once, and she will not let go of herself again.

She nodded gratefully. She eats slowly, chewing many times on each bite before swallowing slowly.

"Take a sip of tea. Why don't you ask the shopkeeper to cook another soup? ”

Ruixue shook her head and poured some tea from the teapot into the rice. I hurriedly took two bites of food and ate rice.

"Eat something, not just eat."

Rui Xue ate two bites of food as she said, and it was the opposite of the meal again.

Yuan Bin couldn't help but smile when he saw her so cautious. Is this how the little girl eats? Are you afraid that others will say that she eats too much? I'm afraid that people will blame her for eating too much, so she won't eat anymore after eating a bowl?

"Would you like to add more?"

Rui Xue shook her head, it was very hot, she couldn't eat so much, this bowl was afraid that she wouldn't eat it tonight, so she forced herself to finish it. She was hungry and not so picky about what she ate.

If you look at it according to the father's cooking, the rice cooked in this house is not called rice at all. Every grain of rice is hard. There is no rice fragrance in the mouth; The rice grains are also very dry, and there is almost no moisture in them, which is really a bit bad.

Yuan Bin poured another cup of tea for Rui Xue, and then lowered his voice and said, "You said you met a river pirate?" When was it? ”

"The night my father and I took a boat to Nanjing. It's the eighth day of July. "The tenth day of the seventh month is the birthday of Mrs. Zhao.

Yuan Bin clicked the table and did not speak. He was actually a Cao soldier under the Governor of Caoyun, but because the township test was approaching, there were more and more students and traders coming and going in Nanjing, and the Governor of Caoyun asked the river to borrow people to help.

He had been in the army for many years, but he had never heard of river pirates, and he was still so close to the city of Nanjing. If there were river pirates, then why didn't they get the slightest report? If the corpses are destroyed, why haven't you heard any rumors on the docks?

Rui Xue saw that Yuan Bin didn't speak, he didn't believe himself, and hurriedly explained: "What I said is true. My father told me to jump into the river with a wooden plank, but when I woke up, I was locked up in a room with more than 20 women. A few days later, they brought a few of us to the ship, and I listened to the two of them talking about selling us to ...... Sold to Nanjing...... Later......"

"Later, those two people suddenly didn't feel good, and you took the opportunity to run away?"

Ruixue nodded.

Yuan Bin smiled and said, "It's okay now, it's okay." Those who were in the boat with you, those who were willing to go home, went back, what about you? Your father brought you to Nanjing to look for relatives? What about your relatives? ”

"My father said that I had a big illness when I came out, and my family was poor and had no money to see a doctor at that time, thanks to an old doctor, he not only didn't take a penny, but also gave my father a bowl of noodles to eat. Dad said that now that I have some money, I want to thank the old doctor, so he took me to Nanjing. ”

Yuan Bin nodded knowingly: "What about your family?" ”

Ruixue shook her head: "I don't know. Dad just said we were going up the canal, and I liked it to stop there. But now that she was separated from her father, she stood up and said to Yuan Bin deeply, "Thank you, Lord Yuan." I'm going to find my father, and if I can find him, I'll thank you. ”

Yuan Bin hurriedly returned the salute: "I don't know if I have anything to help?" ”

*

Yuan Mei, who wrote "Suiyuan Food List", believes that the most important diet in the world is rice. I think "the sweetness of rice." on top of Bailla; Those who know the taste don't have to use vegetables when they have a good meal. ”
