Chapter 90: Worship
Mengxi and Shangguan drank very much, and sang "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in their previous life, a proud and heroic song, which made Shangguan proud, and even played the guqin with Mengxi.
After singing a song, Shangguan was still unsatisfied, turned around and ordered the servant to take the incense, and the servant was stunned:
"Too, childe......"
"Go Soon"
Shangguan saw that the servant stepped forward to dissuade him, waved his hand to stop it, the servant was helpless, turned around and went out and ordered Xiao Er to take the incense case, and set it up in the private room, Shangguan pulled Mengxi and said:
"Brother Tan, you and I are like old friends today, the foolish brother is willing to burn incense with Brother Tan as an oath, marry Jinlan, and talk about what Brother wants"
"Good!"
Mengxi took advantage of the wine and agreed, which frightened Zhiqiu, how could the second grandmother and a female stream, how could they worship their brothers with others, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade:
"Second, the second son ......"
"Zhi'er, don't say much, Brother Shangguan is my acquaintance in this life"
Mengxi understood what Zhiqiu meant, and hurriedly interrupted her, she is a person in the 21st century, and she will not stick to this form at all, not to mention that she is when she is full of wine.
The two came to the incense table together, knelt on the ground, lit three sticks of incense, inserted them in the incense burner, bowed three times to each other, and swore an oath:
"Li Mengtan, Shangguan Hong, although he has a different surname, he is a brother today, he will share blessings and hardships in the future, and he does not want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but he hopes to die on the same day and month of the same year, the emperor and the earth, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together"
Mengxi added another evil sentence in his heart: "When there is trouble, Li Mengxi talks about it, and it has nothing to do with Mengxi!" ”
The two of them finished their vows, reported their age, Shangguan was the eldest brother, Mengxi was the second brother, and since then they have become brothers with righteous surnames.
After the bow, the incense case was withdrawn, and the two returned to their seats, at this time the wine was almost drunk, Mengxi remembered her drifting life experience, and her heart was not desolate, at this time she already had seven or eight points of alcohol, and raised her glass to Shangguan Hong through the wine:
"If his younger brother can't accommodate himself in this world, is the eldest brother willing to laugh and be proud of the lake and river with the younger brother, and forget his love in the mountains and rivers?"
When Shangguan Hong heard this, he was puzzled in his heart, the second brother is so talented, how can he say that there is no place for him in this world? Who is he? ”
Mengxi raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the hesitation in Shangguan Hong's eyes, he was shocked in his heart, and the wine also woke up a little, and said secretly: "If you really drink and make a mistake, you will be ashamed of your drinking style in your last life, and it seems that you have not grown up in this life."
Thinking of this, he rushed to Shangguan and laughed:
"Ha, ha, ha... Big brother don't mind, the younger brother just had some Meng Lang, the flowers are half-opened, the wine is slightly smoked, drink with the eldest brother, the younger brother has fun today, don't say goodbye, the younger brother is not often in Pingyang City, he can go to Yichun Hall to find someone to pass the word if he has something to do. ”
After speaking, he turned around and greeted Zhiqiu: "Zhi'er, Zhi'er......"
shouted twice, saw that no one was coming, turned his head to look, only to find that Zhiqiu was standing there motionless, looking at the roof, looking like I didn't know you, I didn't feel funny, got up and walked over, knocked Zhiqiu twice with a fan and said:
"Gone, gone, ha, ha, ha......"
Mengxi helped Zhiqiu and pushed the door away with laughter.
"Second brother......" Shangguan Hong stood up and shouted, what did he want to say, Mengxi had already walked out of the door.
Shangguan Hong is a man after all, he is really just slightly drunk, looking at the thin and lonely back, listening to the indulgent laughter in the distance, I don't know why, I always feel that there is a trace of desolation in the indulgent and arrogant eyes that he can't see, which makes him want to caress it gently.
……
Mengxi opened her eyes, felt a splitting headache, and hurriedly shouted Zhiqiu:
"Know the autumn, know the autumn, pour a glass of water"
When he spoke, he realized that his voice was hoarse, like a broken gong, and he secretly regretted that he was too indulgent yesterday.
"The slave never knew that the second grandmother could still go to laugh at the rivers and lakes, look at what the second grandmother did yesterday, is she really a woman? If the second master knows, the slave and maid will be skinned, and if the second grandmother does this again in the future, don't let the slave and maid follow, and don't say that you know the slave and maid."
Zhiqiu sat on the edge of the bed while serving the second grandmother to drink a bowl of sobering soup, listening to the second grandmother's broken gong-like voice, she felt distressed again, and glanced at her sadly:
"The second grandmother is also too careless, but she is just a passerby, how can she casually say the name of our medicine hall, who knows what background Shangguan Gongzi has, Yinu observes Shangguan Gongzi's speech and demeanor, and it doesn't seem to be a general, what if he really wants to find out our details?
The Xiao Mansion is powerful, squeezing a small businessman, it is as simple as stepping on an ant, not to mention a medicine hall like ours that has no foundation background at all, in case Shangguan and the second master know about our opening of the medicine hall, it will definitely not be tolerated, how much effort has the second grandmother spent on dispensing medicine in the backyard every day, our medicine hall is only today, don't be like the original medicine hall in the slave's house, only a ruffian will be tossed yellow, so that there is really no place for the second grandmother in this Daqi"
Hearing Zhiqiu talk about the medicine hall, Mengxi slapped his forehead, how could he forget, what time is it, Shangguan Gongzi will not go to the medicine hall to find her, check her details, right?
"Zhiqiu, quickly send someone to the medicine hall to arrange it"
……
As Mengxi expected, Shangguan Gongzi came to Yichun Hall early this morning, the young man just opened the door and was about to sign a sign, when he saw a white-shirted boy standing outside the door, looking at the couplet on the door, there were two domestic servants standing behind him, and when he saw the young man come out, a domestic servant stepped forward and said:
"Little brother, my son-in-law came to visit the young shopkeeper of Yichun Hall today, please let me know."
"Childe wait, the little one will go and talk back"
After a while, I saw Li Du hurriedly walking out behind the young man, and when he saw it, he didn't know him, and he was puzzled, so he stepped forward and waved his hand, and said:
"In Xia, Li Du is the young shopkeeper here, may I ask if this son is looking for him?"
"Xiaosheng Shangguan Hong, I came to meet my second brother Li Mengtan, and asked my brother to pass on the news"
At this time, the servants behind Shangguan Hong were already impatient.
Hearing this, Li Du was stunned, when did the master have a sworn brother, why had he never heard his sister mention it? I was puzzled, but I didn't dare to stay slow, so I stepped forward and said:
"This son doesn't know, Li Mengtan is the master of my family, but he has been wandering outside all the year round, and he is not in the hall at the moment.
When Shangguan Hong heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, looking at Li Du, he and his second brother had only drunk yesterday, how could he not be there today, but seeing Li Du's sincere face, he really didn't look like a fraudulent quibble, and then thought about it, maybe the second brother lived in the mansion, the second brother drank wine yesterday, I am afraid that he hadn't woken up at this time, since he came, he couldn't prevent the advanced medicine hall waiting for him, so he nodded at Li Du, motioned for him to please, raised his feet and then entered the Yichun Hall.
Li Du led the three of them in, let them sit, and ordered the guy to serve tea, and then sat on the side with him, and was about to speak, only to hear Shangguan Hong say:
"Trouble Brother Tai sent someone to the house to inform the second brother, and said that Shangguan Hong came to visit and was waiting in Yichun Hall"
Li Du was stunned, how could it be so easy for the master to go out of the Xiao Mansion once, wait here! Wait until next year to be about the same, busy said:
"I don't think it's my son, my master has traveled all over the world since he was a child, and rarely returns to Pingyang, and the son wants to see the master, and I hope to come back another day"
Yesterday we were swimming in the lake together, how could we not be in Pingyang today? It must be that the young shopkeeper is unwilling to pass on the word, deliberately delaying, thinking of this, Shangguan Gongzi's face sank, and he was just about to speak, only to hear a commotion outside, Li Du was about to order someone to go out and take a look, when a young man walked in quickly.
"What's going on out there?" Li Du asked
"Back to the young shopkeeper, just now the Yuelai inn guy came to pass the word, saying that my young master collapsed Yuelai inn last night, and left Pingyang early this morning, the young master left to say: because there is an emergency, leave in a hurry, no time to come to the medicine hall, specially let the guy come to pass a word, tell the young shopkeeper, the master yesterday in Luding Mountain to worship a brother with a different surname, the surname Shangguan, a single word Hong, such as Shangguan Gongzi came to visit, so that the young shopkeeper must be treated with the courtesy of the master, don't be slow"
"Your master said he didn't say where he went"
As soon as Shangguan Hong heard this, he didn't wait for Li Du to speak, and opened his mouth to ask the young man.
"Back to Gongzi, my master didn't say where he went"
Shangguan Hong turned his head to look at Li Du, Li Du hurriedly said, my master likes to play in the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and he has always been uncertain.
