Chapter 57: A "Pleasant" Dinner
After bathing with the song, he changed into a set of men's clothes, which was a plain white satin robe, and Tang Bo ordered the maid to send it in advance and put it in the room, the size was exactly the same as her figure, it seems that it should be specially customized. The sleeves and corners of this satin robe are embroidered with a few elegant green bamboos, only a few strokes, but outlining the wind and bones of the green bamboo, a few bamboo leaves seem to be unintentionally embroidered in various parts of the robe, and there are only three or four pieces in the number, but it seems that the whole dress is very high-style. In the words of the literati, it is: Pianpian is also a young man.
In the ancient Dynasty, there were no rubber bands, and there were one or two cloth belts with the song, which were specially used to tie up the hair, after all, they often went out to investigate the case on weekdays, and the image was not good since the cloak was scattered, and she didn't want to learn from those young ladies to pull up their hair buns, so the men's dress was matched with a high-beam hairstyle, which was simple and neat, and it was very convenient.
Walking on the street with the song, no swordsman at the waist and no paper fan, neither like a swordsman nor like a son, ordinary people only think that he is a young master who came to visit the capital, and many girls on the street frequently send autumn waves to her. What broke the girl's heart was that Sui Ge didn't receive their autumn waves at all, and her mind was on those small traders.
"Uncle, do you know where Li Yucheng's Shangshu Mansion used to be?" Sui Ge had already asked several vendors who seemed to have been stationed on this street for a long time, but they either hadn't heard of this person, or they didn't know the location of the mansions of those officials, and they couldn't tell them clearly. Just now she heard this noodle seller on the street talk about a lot of attractions in the capital, and it seems that he should be familiar with the capital.
The old man who sold noodles squinted at Sui Ge, "What is this little brother going to do when he is looking for Nashang Shufu?" ”
Sui Ge smiled slightly: "I am from the countryside, I love to tell stories on weekdays, and when I heard about this tragedy that happened in the capital more than a year ago, I wanted to see if I could take some materials to make up a good story." ”
The old man who sold noodles slapped his thigh and said with great interest: "Ouch, old man, I love to listen to books on weekdays, I can't imagine that the little brother is so serious, when you open a storytelling stall in this capital one day, the old man will definitely help you." ”
Sui Song smiled kindly again, "Then the junior thanked the uncle first!" Immediately, she shook her head with an embarrassed face, and said: "Now this storytelling is not a good errand, I can't tell a good story, few people are willing to listen to it, and I don't want to listen to those old stories, everyone should be tired of listening to them." ”
The old man spat with the same feeling, "Not really! Look at the king and widow on the street, every day he talks about who fights the tiger and who has three wives and four concubines, but he is bored, and he will grow calluses when he listens to it too much. The old man hurriedly pulled Sui Ge to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and told her everything he knew with great enthusiasm, "Little brother, you should want to talk about the bloody washing of Li Shangshu's mansion!" Ouch, you can ask the right person, old man, I happened to be selling gnocchi on the street not far from the Shangshu Mansion at that time, at that time, in this broad daylight, this has always been a big mansion suddenly crawled out of a few tender little guys, that was covered in blood, but frightened the neighborhood of ten miles. ”
"Oh? So terrifying? Sui Ge said in his mouth, but he was not shocked at all, and his beautiful eyes were blinking.
The old man who sold noodles spoke so loudly that he didn't notice that the little brother in front of him was listening to him say those horrible memories with a faint smile, "It's not." At that time, the people on the street were in a panic, the chairs of my noodle stall were knocked down, and the little brothers fainted after taking a few steps, and they wanted to say that they would go over and help them, but they knew that out of nowhere, two people wearing black clothes and masks flew in, and they gave people a ...... That, and then the two of them flew into the Shangshu Mansion again in the blink of an eye. The old man made a knife to wipe his neck.
"And then?"
"Later, the government came after a while, and I heard that the leader was still a big official, so he came in a hurry, and surrounded the Shangshu Mansion, but he didn't go in."
Sui Ge was puzzled: "This person has died outside, and it is estimated that there is more luck inside, why didn't the government go in?" ”
The old man snorted, "Which of these officials is not greedy for life and fear, I heard that the leading official ...... What's it called? Call...... It seems that a prefect is coming, and he is standing at the door, and he just doesn't go in, saying that the people of the Forbidden City will take care of this matter. The neighborhood of these ten miles stayed aside to watch the excitement, and some people made a commotion, but the prefect estimated that it was too dry, and finally sent a team of officers and soldiers in. We don't know what happened later, there seem to be some very powerful people in the capital, there are more than a dozen men in armor came, like a black-faced god, as if they were called Jin soldiers.
"Jin Yiwei." Sui Ge corrected lightly.
"Yes, yes, it's Jinyiwei! Later, all the neighborhoods who watched the play were driven away by the prefect, and those who caught us quickly and the government officials and the like drove us to the two streets, and guarded them strictly, and no one was allowed to enter, and no one in those shops could come out. But within four days, the matter stopped, and the emperor issued the emperor's list, and the top said, if we discuss this matter privately at the bottom, we will have to be arrested and imprisoned for a few days, and it will take a lot of silver to redeem it, and I have heard that some young people who do not know how to die are advocating that Li Shangshu every day, and then it seems that no one has seen them since they were imprisoned. ”
The old man who sold noodles said a lot with embarrassment, and finally sighed: "Even if the sky falls, it's none of our little people's business, but the hundreds of lives in the Shangshu Mansion are also pitiful, just gone, Li Shangshu's wife is a good person." ”
Sui Ge didn't expect that he really asked the right person this time, "Uncle, do you know Mrs. Shangshu?" ”
The old man who sold noodles smiled and waved his hand and said, "I am a poor old man, how can I know these noble ladies." But this Li Shangshu's wife had many righteous deeds, and in the past, she often sent rice and grain to poor families and beggars. I still remember a few years ago, the flood, the Yellow River flooded, a county downstream was washed away, many refugees flocked to the capital, many high-ranking officials and gentry responded to the imperial court to open a warehouse to provide grain, but in fact sent to the hands of refugees are very few, only this Mrs. Li Shangshu, on the spot as the lord of the Shangshu Mansion donated the granary of Shangshu Mansion to the poor, at that time many people called her a living Bodhisattva. ”
At this time, a diner came, and the old man went to greet him with a smile, and finally pointed to the direction of the west of the city, and told the old site of the Shangshu Mansion with songs, and did not forget to encourage: "Young boy, work hard, think of more good stories, we old guys will point to listen to more stories and be happier, and have a thought in life." ”
Sui Ge smiled and nodded, and when the old man turned his back and was busy there, he put a piece of silver on the stove of the old man's stall, took a rag and half-covered it, and then glanced a few times in the direction pointed by the old man, turned around and went back in the direction of the general's mansion.
As soon as he stepped on the stone ridge in front of the general's mansion, Sui Ge stopped and said calmly: "You've been following for so long, aren't you tired?" ”
After a while, Ji Licai stepped forward from behind her, looked at her for a long time, and then said, "I...... Just wanted to tell you that dinner is due. ”
Sui Ge stared at him a little speechlessly for a while, and finally commented: "Stay." "That's when I entered the house.
The sun was slanting to the west, and the soft orange-yellow sunset sun hit Ji Liren's body, and his figure on the ground was mixed with the sunset sun in the light of the lantern that had just been hung up. The evening wind was so comfortable, and the wind seemed to leave a faint sigh in the wind.
Tonight's dinner was a cheerful meal, unexpectedly cheerful, the table was full of Ruan Ruan's laughter and Yin Dongsheng's laughter, although Sui Song did not speak, but his expression looked pleasant.
It's Liu Wan'er, who accompanies the smiling face throughout the whole process, without a trace of domineering, and from time to time she still cares about pouring wine and vegetables for Ji Liren, no matter how you look at it, she is a well-informed lady.
Lin Feng didn't know if he had drunk too much, blushed, and toasted Ji Liren: "General, I'll toast you." ”
Ji Liren smiled and drank it all.
Linfeng poured himself a big sip of wine, stood up, and said: "What people who go out on the battlefield are looking forward to most is to be able to go home to accompany their families, I am an orphan, if it wasn't for the general to accept me, I don't know what kind of situation I would be in now" While saying, he really choked up and cried, "The general is my family, and every time I go back to the general's mansion with the general, I feel very honored." General, can I come back with you every year in the future? ”
Ji Wuchen shook his head with a smile, got up and shook the obviously drunk Linfeng, and forcibly sat him down, who was a little shaky.
Although Ji Liren is the head of the army, he is the most important person in the army, and it is false to say that he is not moved, listening to Linfeng's words, he even looked at him with a much softer look. Towards the wind, he drank another glass, and finally promised: "Even if I can't come back, you can go back to the General's Mansion at any time." ”
I don't know if Lin Feng listened to it, but after Ji Liren said this, he howled and cried. Yin Dongsheng and his entourage looked at this scene and smiled.
Chen Sang quipped: "This Linfeng wine is really bad. ”
The group laughed and talked for a while, Liu Wan'er suddenly picked up a glass of wine and stood up, softly saluted Ji Wuchen and Yin Dongsheng, and said, "Wan'er also wants to toast you." Thank you very much for taking care of our generals. ”
When Ji Liren heard her words, he continued to drink the wine in his cup expressionlessly as if he hadn't heard it.
This young lady's family got up to toast, it would be rude not to salute in return, how could Yin Dongsheng and Ji Wuchen not understand Liu Wan'er's words, but after all, the daughter of the prime minister has the emperor's grace, so they had to laugh and get up to toast this glass of wine.
Liu Wan'er took a sip of wine, covered the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and coughed lightly.
"The county lord can't drink?" Yin Dongsheng asked.
Liu Wan'er smiled with an embarrassed face: "Wan'er is not strong enough to drink, so everyone laughs." ”
Chen Sang and they expressed their understanding: "It doesn't matter, it's okay, this lady has very strict family rules, which is the same as the daughter of the market." ”
Tao Ziyi has been silent since Liu Wan'er spoke. There was a Tang Sect lady before, and now there is a county lord given by the emperor, and she is completely disappointed in Ji Liren now. Now that Chen Sang said it so unintentionally, the fire did not come out in one place, and she said in a somewhat sour tone: "People are the eldest lady of the official family, and the delicacies are served every day. After speaking, he looked up at the glass of wine in front of him as if he was angry.
