Chapter 184: Warning
"It's just that there is no spring cold, such a wine shop, you can't drink the pre-Ming Dynasty, the pre-Ming tea, it's all a little little shoot, how many can you pick on a tree? How many tea mountains are there in the south of the Yangtze River? How many tea trees? How many can be produced before the Ming Dynasty, that is a number, very little.
All over the world, every family advertises the pre-Ming Dynasty, how can there be so many pre-Ming periods? Guo Sheng answered, "Let's go to Mingqian, that's the price before Ming, and the same as before the rain, don't be guilty of spending that unjust money." ”
Bai Qiao sighed, Bai Jingning looked at Guo Sheng and Xu Huan again, his eyes were faintly shining, these two are very attentive and can talk about it.
The guy brought the cold dishes and hot dishes up, Guo Sheng let it go, patted his forehead and said suddenly: "Look at me, I haven't asked Mr. ...... yet."
"Under the surname Bai," after a pause, Bai Jingning smiled: "The two of you will call me Bai Dalang, this is a dog, Brother Qiao." ”
Guo Sheng turned around violently, took a sip of tea at the little guy standing behind, and squirted out.
Xu Huan looked at Guo Sheng who sprayed tea, and then looked at the father and son of the Bai family who were stunned by his spraying of tea, with a dry smile on his face, what does Lao Guo mean?
"Bai Qiao!" Guo Sheng handed the cup to the little servant, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and face, and while wiping it, he first raised his chin at Bai Qiao, and then looked at Bai Jingning, "Bai Shuaisi, you ...... you"
Xu Huan looked at Guo Sheng, who was speechless and looked at Bai Jingning, and Bai Jingning, who was also speechless and looked at Guo Sheng, and laughed, Bai Qiao couldn't help it, his shoulders kept swaying, his father was really, he said that his surname was Bai, and he said that he was Brother Qiao, and he was Bai Qiao, who else could he be?
Bai Jingning also laughed, and raised his teacup at Guo Sheng while laughing, "Mr. Hu has a bold face, but he is ......actually careful" Before he finished speaking, he smiled and didn't go on, he was careless, and this is not the other party's carefulness. "It's a substitute for tea instead of wine, and it's really nice to meet two of you today."
Guo Sheng and Xu Huan hurriedly raised the teacups, and Bai Qiao also followed his father and took a sip of tea.
"I heard that Bai Shuaisi led the southern armies and wanted to go to Fujian?" Guo Sheng asked directly and simply.
Bai Jingning nodded.
"Then you, Bai Shuai, are Bai Shuai." Guo Sheng laughed again, laughed, leaned forward, with a look of mystery and concern, "Look at the mansion, the first thing the emperor asked you to do was to clean up the coastal bandits?" Especially at sea? ”
Bai Jingning nodded briskly, if they were copied to the mansion, people who could read and write all over the world could see it, and there was nothing to hide.
"That Bai Shuai's trip to Fujian, whether he took the water and land route, or ...... Sea route? Guo Sheng's expression was a little serious.
"Naturally, it's by sea." Bai Jingning leaned back on the back of the chair, looked at Guo Sheng comfortably and relaxedly, and smiled.
Guo Sheng sat up straight slowly, turned his head to look at Xu Huan, Xu Huan met Guo Sheng's gaze, looked at Bai Jingning with a worried face, Bai Jingning looked at Guo Sheng, and then looked at Xu Huan, who was becoming more and more worried, put away the folding fan, and said with a smile: "If you two have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Nothing, nothing!" Guo Sheng replied quickly.
"Why nothing? There is obviously something, but it can't be considered anything, this is ...... It really can't be considered nothing......" Xu Huan patted his head with a folding fan, looking very hesitant and distressed.
"That's right!" Guo Sheng also patted his head with a folding fan, "How can I say it, this matter ......"
Before he finished speaking, the guy raised his voice to report in and sent in a few more pots of soup.
Guo Sheng stopped, watched the guy set up the dishes, and exited the private room, only to grin like a toothache, look at Xu Huan one after another, gritted his teeth and said: "Bai Shuai has been on Jiangnan East Road for many years, so it stands to reason that ...... This can't be said according to reason, my cousin and I also know, dare to go a little north to east, up and down, we don't know about these bandits in the south, we are all like these bandits, just like those bandits and mountain bandits, in the middle, the gap is huge, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference. ”
"Brother Hu, can you talk about it carefully." Bai Jingning sat upright and bowed slightly.
"Let's talk first." Guo Sheng gestured to Xu Huan.
Xu Huan also looked like he had a toothache, "I have always been bored reading, and I don't know much, but I usually know how to write or something, and when I hear people talk about it, Bai Shuaiquan should listen to it as gossip." ”
"Mr. Xu, please speak." Bai Jingning nodded in clarity and motioned to Xu Huan, and Bai Qiao also looked at Xu Huan intently.
"Wherever I want, I'll talk about it. It is said that these bandits are not all our people, but there are also many people who don't know where they are, they are all barbaric and unintelligible, lawless, extremely bold, and love to eat people. ”
After a pause, Xu Huan smiled bitterly: "Yes, I really love to eat, not scary, once, we will write, in the back garden of a sea merchant, there is an old boatman, who has been floating on the sea for decades, indicating that to the south of the state, there is a group of pirates, even the pirates say that they are not people, they all love to eat people, roast live people, steaming must be girls, between five and seven years old......"
Bai Qiao's eyes widened when he heard this, Bai Jingning frowned slightly, but there were not too many surprises, this matter, after he was appointed, he learned about it, there is. This Xu Huan really knows a lot of things.
"I always felt that it was fake, and I hoped it was fake." Xu Huan didn't say much more, and sighed a few times, "Also, it is said that the older pirates have a piece of land overseas, an island or something, there is water and soil, there is a family and a courtyard, and one year, I heard that a certain group of pirates wants to invite a gentleman to their island to teach their children to open their books." ”
"Huh?" Bai Qiao blurted out surprise, "Still enlightened to study?" Do you still have to ......?"
"Well, I heard that there are really a lot of people who are very good at reading, saying yes, many of them are quietly sent back, entrusted to be adopted, or fostered in a good family, or put in an orphanage, probably, there are also those who have passed the examination and are talented." Xu Huan looked at Bai Jingning, his voice was very low and soft.
Bai Jingning's face changed.
"My cousin and I often talk about these bandits, the court treats them as bandits, and it is not right, they are different from bandits, they have a foothold overseas, although it is said that the whole world is the king's land, but there is ...... In this world, in addition to us, there are other countries and other dynasties, those bandit leaders, on their own islands, in their own territory, are called kings and emperors, I heard that on some islands, there are countries with numbers and complete laws, this is not a bandit. Guo Sheng said slowly and deeply, sighing one after another as he spoke.
"Well, whether it's bandits, or mountain bandits, after all, under the royal law, a good fear of the government can't be erased, but this bandit ......" Xu Huan sighed and sighed.
Bai Jingning pursed his mouth tightly, his expression was even more cold, Bai Qiao's face was slightly pale, looking at his father, his mouth opened, but he couldn't speak.
