Chapter 14 A pot of Northern Cool Wine
Before the beginning of winter, it was already a goose feather snow, which put on a white fox fur for the graceful woman in Tai'an City.
In this small half of the year, the capital has been a sensation, not to mention all kinds of rewards, and the prince of Beiliang has the audacity to destroy the royal road, and the impeachment of the official flies like snow in the sky, all of which have sunk into the sea, and have not been criticized by the imperial pen Zhu once. The Taoist temple in the city is said to be Xu Fengnian by pretending to borrow the power of the yin monster, will not be liked by the gods who raise their heads three feet, and the words are chiseled, so that the people of the market who are busy making up for the winter custom to thank God are convinced, in addition, there is a sensational event in the capital, the military department Lang Lu Baijie and the three battles and three defeats of the foreign rangers are competing with the sword according to the eagle platform, the Son of Heaven personally allowed Lu Aiqing to take a day off, before the two sides boarded the sword according to the eagle platform, just at the beginning of the snowfall, Lu Shilang in a cold Confucian costume with a sword bully show floated in, worthy of a sword full of immortal spirit, some people who originally felt that this Jiangnan Lu clan member was not qualified enough to serve as a minister of the military department of the capital, that day was also impressed by the elegant bearing of Lu Baijie, who had not yet come out of the sword, and then the swordsman who was hanging Lang Lang took the stage, and finally changed to a less sloppy and glamorous outfit, this guy first defeated the Wu family sword mound female swordsman, and then defeated the capital swordsmanship master Qi Jiajie, three defeats in Dongyue Sword Chi Baijiangshan, already has a warm reputation, strange to say, this guy is not pleasing in appearance and bearing, especially not favored by women, but after losing three games in a row, he is extremely popular at the bottom of the market, and even many soldiers and soldiers also look at it。
When Wen Busheng slowly took the stage, there were people among the onlookers who were full of anger and shouted loudly Wen Busheng should win this time, and the down-and-out swordsman surnamed Wen scolded back on the spot, fuck you! The spectators of the battle were three and nine streams, and most of the women, regardless of their youth or age, frowned and disliked, but the rough old man cheered loudly and shouted for him. This time the sword competition, according to the eagle platform is a good place to enjoy the snow and scenery, plus Lu Baijie has a prominent official status, and it is rumored that several princes will quietly come to the eagle platform from the light car, and the big beauty Li Baishi of the double armor is here with great fanfare, so compared to the first three competitions, they are all full of popularity, but everyone knows it, in fact, they are curious to look forward to the appearance of the saber Beiliang Shizi, that day after the dynasty will retreat from the dynasty, the prince and brother surnamed Xu are only fighting with the prince of the country, how can they enjoy enough for the small people of Shengdou, I thought that this time the big trouble will press the eagle platform, and be entangled by the children of the official eunuchs in the capital, and the wicked people and evil dogs will fight together to be wonderful。
Before Xu Fengnian competed in the sword, he had already walked out of the Xiama Wei Post House and was about to take a car to the Eagle Terrace to join in the harmless excitement, but he saw an extremely poor old Confucian squatting under the dragon claw acacia, feeling uneasy. Xu Fengnian smiled dumbly, hesitated, returned to the backyard of the post house, and asked the blue bird to warm a pot of rice wine. Xu Fengnian never forgets, remember who the old scholar who is waiting for the rabbit outside the post house, when he left the Huishan boat to the riverside, it coincided with the second sister Xu Weixiong from the five hundred years of the mountain lung mountain with dragon sand to Shangyin Xue Palace, this called Liu Wenbao The remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty got Xu Weixiong's miscellaneous but not refined comments, Mao Sui opened his mouth and closed his mouth when he recommended himself, Zhang Julu, Zhao Youling, Wang Xionggui, Yuan Yu, Han Lin and other dignitaries and ministers of the dynasty, threatening to start analyzing the temple with the right to analyze, Xu Fengnian did not like the old scholar's words were not shocking and endless, and gave him a closed door。
Near noon, Tong Ziliang and his youngest daughter walked into the courtyard with a few full of mahogany food boxes, it was almost winter, this piece of stewed mutton and dumplings in the capital was fashionable, in addition to these two there was a pot of fragrant tender ginger duck, Xu Fengnian changed into civilian clothes, sat under the eaves and enjoyed the snow, saw the father and daughter send lunch, and went to help the panting handsome woman take the slightly hot food box, ordinary people can't afford to use such expensive food boxes that are almost imperial wood materials, Tong Ziliang is also borrowed from others, and he always has to be lined with the identity of the prince of Beiliang to have a good conscience。 After handing over the food box with a red face, the graceful woman who did not look like Tong Ziliang wrapped her hands behind her back and slightly wiped away the burning sensation on her fingertips. Since His Royal Highness the Prince of the World knew her name, he always made fun of herself with Xiaonian, which made her always embarrassed. The blue bird has moved out of the table and stool to rest under the eaves, Xu Fengnian smiled and beckoned Tong Ziliang to eat with his childhood, Tong Ziliang never dared, waved his hand to push, but still could not resist the insistence of His Royal Highness the prince, so he had to sit down beyond the rules, and sat on a bench with his daughter, Xu Fengnian Qingnian Qingyuan Qingfeng sat on one side, lifted the lid of the food box, steaming, Tong Ziliang picked up the chopsticks, and whispered: "Your Highness, there is an old Confucian outside the post house guarding under the tree." ”
"Come, Xiao Nian, I am a guest, you master taste it first. ”
Xu Fengnian tore apart the stewed duck with ginger that did not hide the aroma of meat with chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in the young woman's bowl first, made a joke, and then nodded to Tong Yuyi and said: "I know the identity of that person, don't pay attention to it at the post house." ”
Tong Ziliang nodded, seeing that the daughter next to him was timid and blushed and didn't dare to move the chopsticks, and also smiled a little, the reason why he often brought her to this courtyard, there was no scheming, just just wanted his children to see more of the general's eldest son, strange to say, a few brothers and sisters in childhood, after coming to the yard once, they didn't dare or didn't want to come, which made Tong Ziliang get angry and fell the chopsticks when he got home, but the children grew up, and they were no longer obedient when their father stared at him when he was a child, Tong Ziliang is a rough person, even if he knows the Tao in his eyes, he doesn't know how to break it, but when His Royal Highness doesn't live in Xia Ma Wei for a long time, and when he gets older, he will be like this heavy snow in the courtyard, and he will go away by himself without cleaning.
After a sumptuous lunch, Tong Ziliang got up and left, telling his daughter to slowly clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Fengnian looked at the old huai in the courtyard and quickly laid a layer of snow mat, turned his head and said to the blue bird: "Take a bag of silver coins and throw it to Liu Wenbao outside the hospital, don't say anything." ”
The blue bird nodded, went back to the house and packed a small bag of broken silver, and gently discharged from the hospital. Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked at the remaining food on the table and asked, "The grace of a meal is less than a bag of silver. You're buying people's hearts like this, aren't you clumsy?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head with a smile and said: "The wealthy lord is like a famous man who trains a young maid, or boils an eagle and tames a horse, it is the same, you have to grind away your arrogance first, but you can't grind away your backbone at the same time." I can't open the door to everyone, I have to tell the prophet how many pounds of arrogance and backbone these guys who work hard for glory and wealth. If Liu Wenbao drops the silver and leaves angrily, and doesn't forget to scold me for not knowing the goods before leaving, it will be arrogant and backbone, this kind of pedantic scholar deserves that he will not be able to get ahead in his life. But if he accepts the money, grovels, and begs the blue bird to see me, and tells me how much he has real talent and learning, I am really not uncommon. Beiliang doesn't need splendid articles to praise virtues, in that barren land, rigid books don't live for long, and treacherous readers are useless in Beiliang. Let's take a look at the gamble, what kind of attitude does this Liu Wenbao have? A small bet on pleasure, a hundred taels of gold, how?"
After hearing the hundred taels of gold, the childhood who pricked up his ears on the side, opened his mouth wide and was speechless in surprise.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered: "Okay, I bet that this old rotten man didn't take the 'food that came to him' at all, ignored it, and continued to wait in the snow." ”
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "Then I'll bet that he took the silver, and then continue to wait for me to change my mind." ”
The blue bird returned quickly and said softly: "Liu Wenbao accepted the money and said that he would go back to fill his stomach first and buy a warm mink fur, and then wait for his son." Before leaving, he asked me if there was any leftovers in the inn, and if there were, he would just save a sum of money. ”
Childhood covered his mouth and smiled.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sighed: "It's okay for this old man to be hard-skinned, and he will gather like you with things, and he will have a good conversation in the future." ”
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Even if we don't lose or win." Next, let's make another bet? Add another hundred taels to the bet, and bet on how many days this Liu Wenbao can wait? Of course, the premise is that I ignore him before this. ”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said calmly: "Then I have to know the Dao of the Prophet, you will know that the Dao of the Lu Dao will stay in the capital for a few days." ”
Without waiting for Xu Fengnian to answer, she said confidently: "I bet on the old man, if you stay in Beijing for a few days, he will wait for a few days." ”
Xu Fengnian stood up and stretched out his palm to catch Qin Liang Xuehua, "I hope I lose." Two hundred taels of gold for a real scholar, Beiliang will not lose. ”
Xu Fengnian stood under the eaves, stretched out his hand to catch the snow, and unconsciously picked up a handful of snow.
The woman, who was also "Xiao Nian", couldn't take her eyes off it, and was stunned, and when he turned to look at herself and asked, she still didn't know.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng chose a rattan chair to lie on, swaying, and holding his forehead to watch the snow.
Xu Fengnian stretched out her hand and waved in front of the gentle woman's eyes, her face was warm, she finally came back to her senses, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to get into the snowdrift, Xu Fengnian knew that she was thin-skinned, and the one lying on the chaise longue next to her was completely different, and repeated: "I heard that you learned the piano, borrow me once?"
She bit her lip and nodded, "I'll help Gongzi go to get the piano." ”
Xu Fengnian smiled gently: "It's okay to go slower." ”
Although the woman nodded vigorously, she still turned around and ran, obviously taking it as the wind and sideburns in her ears.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng tugged at the corners of his mouth and slowly spit out the two words, "Infatuation." ”
The woman ran quickly with the piano, and her fingers were still trembling when she took off the wrapping, Xu Fengnian thanked her, and took the new piano that was not very valuable, and with a wipe of her sleeves, the twelve flying swords hovered to make the piano platform.
Xu Fengnian closed his eyes, his arms were hanging in the air, and he was not in a hurry to stroke the qin.
There are millions of households in Beiliang, how many of them are wrapped in dry bones?
Listen to who is beating the beauty drum and see who is the Yang Ren Tu.
The sky is full of stars, who sleeps?
When Xu Fengnian lowered his head, his eyes were red, and his lips trembled slightly.
One hand slammed the strings.
Knock!
A spiritual song of Huanghuang Beiliang Town.
The sound of the piano in the snow is like thunder on the hooves of the horses riding in the northern cool iron.
Under the dragon claw locust in the Weiwei Post House, there was an old Confucian squatting, who bought a hairless old mink fur from the pawnshop with silver money, and was stuffing meat buns into his mouth, after hearing the sound of the piano, he slowly stopped gobbling up, leaned on the cold old locust tree, closed his eyes, and said softly: "How good it would be to have a pot of green ants." ”
