Chapter 2 The Deceased

Qin Xing stretched his neck to look around, but he didn't see Shun Yu come out, and then glanced at Mason, who was climbing the Tsubaki tree to dig out the nest of the birds, looking heartless.

A big bird flapped its wings and cooed, disturbing him, not long after the young master came to the capital, if he lost his way in this dilapidated house, or bumped into the charm of the yang breath, then he couldn't get rid of the responsibility, and he wanted to have a good life in the future.

With such a plan, he picked up a stone and threw Mason, drank him down, and turned around to go to the broken wall, walked more than ten steps faster, hung his head and passed a bean flower stand, only to straighten his waist, suddenly saw a figure flash, and looked at it, it was Shun Yu who walked out.

"Why has the master been gone for so long, but people are worried about it." Qin Xing stroked his heart, and Amitabha Buddha chanted.

"It's quite big inside, and it's going a little slower." Shun Yu said a few vague words, and took the lead in the direction of selling wonton chickens at the mouth of the alley.

The stall was rough and small, with few diners, with two or three half-new wooden tables and low stools, scattered at random, and the flames in the stove licked the black-bottomed cauldron.

The wrinkled old man was wearing a shabby brown robe, hanging his head and playing the huqin, and his hoarse string song was intermittent, adding a little defeat to the bleak scene around him.

They sat down around the round table, and Qin Xing opened his mouth and shouted: "Lao'er, three bowls of wonton chicken, pour more red pepper oil." ”

"My bowl of two drops of red pepper oil is good, it's best to add some sour bamboo shoots to appetize, and eat sour and hot when you are small." Shun Yu looked at the old man and glanced away again.

The old man was still playing the violin slowly, but suddenly stopped, got up a little hurriedly, staggered his body, and almost threw the huqin away.

Mason thought it was funny and burst out laughing.

He staggered to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, and poured the wontons into the boiling soup.

Qin Xing swept around, shrunk his neck and asked loudly: "Lao'er, it looks really desolate here, and one mile ahead is the Cloth Grain Bridge, why don't you move there, there are many people and it is suitable for small business." ”

The old man didn't seem to hear it, so he just cut and fiddled with it, and later brought four small saucers with four dipping sauces, a plate of black soy sauce, a plate of green coriander, a plate of white garlic juice, and a large bowl of red pepper oil.

After setting the table, he replied hoarsely in a voice choked by smoke: "It's very quiet here, and people who want to come will always wait." ”

"This old man is weird!" Qin Xing looked at the old man's back, chattering in his mouth, but Mason saw that the lid of the pot was lifted, and the mist was fragrant, and he couldn't wait, so he simply helped to bring the wonton chicken over, and the bowl in the old man's hand was given to Shunyu.

Mason trembled and scalded his fingers, one bowl for himself, and one bowl for Qin Xing.

The soup is a thick soup made from chicken bones, and in addition to the goose fat wontons, a lot of sour bamboo shoots are added, and they are steaming hot.

Shun Yu took the spoon, adjusted the dipping sauce, and ate without saying a word, and after a while, his eyes were spicy and red, his nose twitched and sucked, and tears flowed down.

Qin Xing hurriedly called to the old man again: "My master can't eat spicy food, you can put a bowl of wonton soup to clear his mouth." ”

The old man brought a bowl of soup according to his words, Shun Yu raised his head to look at him, and said with water in his eyes: "I live in the Qin Taiyi Mansion in Jinmaoer Hutong, Zhengyangmen, where there is a market, and there are many merchants from the south to the north, it is a good place to do small business, if you are willing..... Just go there! ”

The old man was speechless, as if he was happy or unhappy, and turned his back, his shoulders shook for some reason, but no one saw him.

......

A gong sounded.

A silver top, four people carry the warm sedan chair along the street, the body of the sedan car is carved with wisps, the curtain is tightly covered, more than a dozen people such as the front erection of the Su card, the flag, the blue umbrella, etc., the rear is heavily guarded, and the momentum is strict.

In front of them, there were three or two Li people who were coming and going, and hurriedly avoided the road.

Qin Xing glanced down at the crowd and said with awe: "Do you know who is sitting in that sedan chair?" It is Lord Shen Zetang, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University. ”

"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and eat and get down to business. Shun Yu sipped the soup, put down the bowl and looked at the sky, there was still a warm sun in the morning, but the clouds were floating, dark and gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

After eating, a few people took a carriage to Yulong Hutong, as Qin Xingqian said, dozens of auxiliary seeds are lined up one after another, although the store is small but complete, there are many people in and out.

Shun Yu walked around, only to choose one, chose a brush, pen holder, copper paperweight, and looked at a copper cartridge carved into the shape of a rose, delicate and chic, looking very like.

He also picked the famous works of Wang, Tang, Gui, and Hu, and it cost five taels of silver when converted.

Qin Xing has a three-inch clever tongue, some bargaining, and then give up some pen and ink, which is reduced to four taels of silver.

When I returned to the Xuanji Courtyard of Qinfu, it was already Shen Shi, the rain was getting more and more intense, and Mama Xiao was waiting anxiously on the front porch, and she was relieved when she saw them.

Shun Yu saw that Qin Xing was only caring about holding an umbrella for her, half of her shoulders were wet, and her trouser legs were dripping with water, so she ordered Mama Xiao to give him a few hundred dollars to buy some wine and food.

Qin Xing took it happily and thanked him.

Mama Xiao put the newly bought books, ink, pens, inkstones, etc. on the table one by one from the cloth bag for Shunyu, and talked about the second lady Liu sent someone to pass the word at noon, and the gentleman of the school, the old man Zhao Huanan, sent a message that the school had started.

Originally, Shun Yu and the second master went to visit Mr. together, because he was not there during the day, the second master prepared the silver two by himself, and Zhao Huanan politely accepted the salute, indicating that this matter was done, so that Brother Yu should not worry.

After a pause, he said that the eldest lady Sun also sent someone to talk back and forth, and there were carriages and horses at the second gate from time to time on the fifth watch of the Ming Dynasty, and he could go to school with Yanhong Yanchun.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear Shun Yu's answer, turned around and looked, and saw her sitting on the edge of the kang, tossing and turning in her hand and fiddling with the rose copper cartridge, playing with relish, and the expression on her face was somewhat similar to Jian Yun, revealing the simplicity of a cardamom girl.

She didn't even notice when she came to her.

"Mama, this ..... I've never seen before!" Shun Yu raised her little face and held it up to her like a treasure.

Mama Xiao brought her a bowl of purple ginger soup to drive away the dampness and coldness, and couldn't help sighing: "The girl likes this thing, but it can be used by Jianyun, but it's not right for Brother Yu to take it." ”

Shun Yu pursed her mouth, lowered her head and rubbed it a few times, raised her hand to take the soup, but handed the copper ink cartridge to Mama Xiao: "I understand in my heart....... You can take it and send it to Jianyun, don't say that I gave it to you. ”

Then he drank it all, put down the bowl, got up and walked to the bookcase.

There were raindrops outside the window, staining the rice paper with wet spots, she leaned over and closed the window sash, and then casually opened the newly bought famous booklet, thought about it and said: "Ming I went to study in the school, Mason came from Suzhou, the rules and etiquette are not careful, it is better to be honest and loyal." Qin Xingjin is a clever and sleek person, transparent in all directions, I want him to follow me in the future, I don't know if the third cousin is willing to let him go...... ”

Thinking of Qin Yanzhao, Shun Yu had a little headache, except for the grievances in his previous life, he really looked at her inexplicably.

"It's not that hard." Mama Xiao smiled: "I'll go and talk to the old lady, there are a few powerful little men around the third master, this Qin Xing is not brilliant, and it should be no big deal to ask for it." ”

After talking again, the kitchen mother-in-law brought the food box and sent it, and the girl outside took it and came in to serve Shunyu without mentioning it.
