Chapter 58: Peach Blossoms
They spent the night in the village and then continued their travels. After another seven or eight days, they came to a city, which they had also heard of as 'Liancheng,' and it was a very large city.
They stayed in the city for three days before moving on to the next place.
Speaking of a small incident that happened in this city, this is also about Li Bokang, it can be regarded as a peach blossom luck, but it is a rotten peach blossom.
At that time, they had a good walk around the city, and they saw a lot of things in the city, and they were all very good and not expensive. So a few people were going to buy some gifts and buy some things to give back to their families, which could be regarded as gifts for them from this trip.
In the first two days, they mainly walked around the city first, and then went to visit the more famous places in Liancheng to enjoy the scenery of Liancheng that the ancients said. It all went well at first, but who knew what would happen to them later.
It is said that it is because of Li Bokang's own good heart that he got into trouble with this rotten peach blossom. In fact, if you want to talk about it seriously, it's not a bad peach blossom, but it's really a bad peach blossom for someone like him.
In other words, it is because of their identity, because ordinary people need a road guide when they go out and go out into the town, but because they are all meritorious people, they don't need a road guide and only need an identity document to enter the city. So the four of them are a little noticeable, especially since they are not very old, and there is one person who lifts people.
Later, somehow, someone knew their whereabouts, and they also inquired that he was the one between them. Now the trouble comes.
One day when they were shopping for something in the city, a servant came to them and said, "Sons, my master wants to invite a few people to have a cup of tea, and also invite a few people to appreciate their faces." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.
But although the mouth said please, the action was not so polite. Several people looked at each of them and agreed, they also wanted to see what the owner of the house wanted to do.
came to a teahouse that looked quite high-end, and followed the little guy all the way to a private room. When he got inside, there was no one to see, and then the little servant withdrew, and closed the door.
However, a few people were not too worried, they believed that it would not be unfavorable to them in such broad daylight. What's more, they wrote a letter of peace to their families two days ago, saying that they had arrived in Liancheng.
They worked in the box for a while, during which no one came back except for the teahouse junior who came to serve them tea. And so it was, until they had finished their tea, and no one came, let alone the so-called host.
A few people also felt bored and opened the door and left, and no one stopped them during the period. In this way, an inexplicable tea invitation incident passed, and they were still concerned about it at first, but after a day, nothing happened again, and this matter was put in their minds.
This time, Li Bokang went to the provincial capital to catch the exam and brought a total of 100 taels of silver, and he found a lot of things, but he only spent half of the money. Of course, it's not that he's wasteful, the things he bought can still transfer a lot of money to them, and it's a smooth way anyway.
During this period, he also bought a hairpin for Yang Xue, which was silver, but the workmanship and styling were very exquisite, and the price was not expensive, only less than one or two silver. Buying her jewelry has been there since she was the first time she used jewelry to register for him. Only now did he buy the first one for her, but he would buy more and better ones for her in the future.
The day before they were about to leave, there was a follow-up to the incident of inviting them to tea. A woman brought her subordinates to the inn they rented, and she also looked for a few of them by name, of course, the most important thing was Li Bokang, the person between them.
At first, they were a little confused, they didn't know anyone during their time here, and they didn't make any friends, let alone a girl. When they heard that they were looking for Li Bokang, several people looked at him, not that they didn't believe him, after all, they were almost all together during this time.
It's just that they still have some doubts and want to tease him, Li Bokang saw their eyes and said calmly: "What kind of eyes are you, I've been following you, don't think about it." A few people lost their interest in making fun of him when they saw him like this.
When I came to the lobby of the inn, I saw a well-dressed and good-looking girl sitting at a table. The expression on her face was still a little disgusted, and the people next to her saw them coming down and told her.
The woman turned her head to look at them, and finally her eyes fixed on Li Bokang's body, but her eyes still glanced at Zhou Yi and them next to her. It is said that their group looks very good, not handsome and chic, but they are also very eye-catching, and they also have their own temperament characteristics.
Li Bokang was a little surprised when he saw this girl, indeed he had seen this girl. This has to start from yesterday's shopping for things, when he happened to be separated from Zhou Yi and them to buy things.
While he was looking at a stall, the girl fell down to him at once, and there was no one around. He didn't pay attention at first, but he heard a slightly panicked voice coming from the side, and then turned his head to look, and when he saw that someone was about to fall to the ground, he pulled her by the hand, which was on the wrist.
Nothing else happened again, and the girl thanked him and left, and there was no one next to her at that time, but one person. Maybe he didn't pay attention to it at the time, so he didn't pay attention to it, so he didn't tell Zhou Yi about them.
So when he saw the girl who was looking for him and the people on the side, he was surprised, and Huang Sheng on the side knew that something was going on when he saw his expression. He gave him a look, and then he whispered to them about yesterday's events.
After understanding what happened, they thought to themselves what this girl was here for, and in this case, they usually came to thank her. It's just that this battle doesn't look like a general thank-you, so you can only watch it next, and they won't leave him behind.
At first, the girl did mean to say thank you, but as she spoke, it turned sour, and there were some other meanings in it.
At first, the girl said, "This time I came to thank Eun Gong, if Eun Gong hadn't saved me, I don't know what would have happened yesterday." The meaning of the speech is also vague, as if it wants people to deliberately think crookedly.
Next, he said that he could not repay anything for his life-saving grace, and finally said that he would make a promise to himself. None of them were stupid, and they could see what she meant.
Although it was rude to interrupt others, Li Bokang still interrupted and said: "Small things, not enough to worry about, the girl doesn't need to come out of her way to thank you, if that person is not a girl and is suitable for a man, I will save it." So I really can't afford to thank the girl so much. ”
This time the girl had brought a lot of silver, which they had already seen, and the red cloth on which her family was served on a plate was about two hundred taels of silver.
Later, after he refused for various reasons, the girl did not seem to give up, and could say anything. There was no way, and then a few people used some unpleasant words to send people away, and in the end, they put down twenty taels of silver.
