Volume 1 Floating Life Chapter 40 Cinnabar (6)
After Jingtan left, Wang Youting said what he had been holding back for a long time: "Brother, can you release Junzi from prison, he has followed me since he was a child, and I am panicked when he is not by my side." ”
Wang Youjun raised his forehead and said: "Shunzi is not a good person, most of the wrong things you did stemmed from his provocation, and you still have to protect him!" ”
"Brother....Brother is away all the year round, and Junko has always been by my side, and I've gotten used to it all these years...."
Wang Youjun looked at the grievance on his face, and said gently: "Why don't I go to find a better retinue for you another day?" ”
Wang Youjun looked at him, there was no way to refute, he rubbed his head a little distressed, indeed, Wang Youting was closest to his eldest brother when he was young, and he was glued to him since he was a child, and then Wang Youjun was older, and he had a lot less time to go home from his post in Beijing, and then he was transferred to the south, Wang Youting couldn't see him, there was no shortage of friends in Beijing, but they were all some people who tended to be inflammatory, and only the Shunzi who followed him from below was left who treated him sincerely.
Wang Youjun sighed, and said: "I can promise you as a brother, but now it is an eventful time, you have to be grounded at home for half a year when you go back, otherwise it will be difficult to explain this matter to the princess." ”
Wang Youting pursed his mouth and nodded reluctantly. Seeing that he was about to leave, he didn't mean to get into his own carriage and horses, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother, is he still not going home for dinner today?" ”
"Something happened in Yong'an Mansion, I need to deal with it urgently, I may have to live in Yong'an Mansion for the next two days...."
"Then brother pay more attention to rest..."
After returning that day, the right court of the king was locked up again.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Jing Tan went all the way to the mutton shop of Sanjina Man's house, and Aman was squatting at the door and didn't know what he was fiddling with.
"What is little Aman doing?"
Jing Tan took a closer look, and he was poking two ants that were really fighting for food.
"Look at the two days of fighting in the ant nest!" Ah Man said without replying, as if he was looking seriously and didn't notice her.
"How did you find out that this was from a litter of ants?"
He said confidently: "There is an ant nest here, and I am watching here every day, how can I not know?" He turned around and exclaimed, "Qing Zheng! ”
Jing Tan smiled and asked, "Why, little Aman misses me so much?" ”
I saw him grinning and holding her hand and saying, "That's not it, it's Sister Yongxu who misses you, I was looking for you yesterday, and I don't know where to look for you, so I only said that you will come in two days." ”
Jing Tan recalled Yu Guijiu that day, and was a little embarrassed for a while, "If you have anything to do in the future, you can take this to Yong'an Mansion to find Wang Shaoyin, and if you find him, you can find me." As he spoke, he took out a jade plaque from his bosom and handed it to him.
He said suspiciously: "Do you know anyone from the imperial court?" He thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that the one who came to the store that day was Lord Wang?" ”
Jing Tan nodded, she thought about it, Ah Man was afraid that a little child would not be able to enter the official office, so he smiled again: "Or you go to Nanshan and find Master Chu Shan, and if you find him, you can also find me." ”
"Do you know Lord Wang and Master Wang? What the hell are you? ”
She pouted and said: "Lord Wang is my cousin, I just recently moved into Yong'an with my family, Caiyang's cousin took me out to see the prosperity of Yong'an, as for Master Chu Shan, not everyone knows it, you don't know it too." Jing Tan sighed secretly, Aman's insight is really the appearance of a little adult, if it is bigger, I am afraid that her words will not be able to hide from him.
"That's right, I often see the Venerable Master praying with people on the banks of the Huai River, although I don't believe in Buddhism, but I also know that he is very famous in Yong'an." He suddenly remembered something, "Ah! With a sigh, he pulled Jingtan and left, and said, "Sister Yongxu may have something to find you, let's go over now!" ”
Jing Tan hurriedly pulled him back, "Don't worry, I'm hungry now, and I'm even more hungry when I smell your roasted mutton, why don't we eat first and then go!" As he spoke, he pulled him into the store, ignoring his struggles.
In fact, hunger is secondary, mainly because she feels a little embarrassed to go to see Yongsu, for fear that she will misunderstand and she herself will be embarrassed.
When Aman's mother saw her coming, she smiled while cleaning up the table for her: "Yo~ The little boy is here, what are you going to use today?" ”
"It's still roasting mutton, cooking sheep... There is also a raw soft lamb noodles. "These are enough for her to eat for a long time, I don't think I will be pulled away by Xiao Aman.
Aman rolled his eyes on the side and said, "How much can you eat alone..."
Jing Tan secretly sighed that she had avoided an awkward meeting, and raised her eyebrows: "Isn't there still you?" ”
Aman's mother agreed to go, Jing Tan began to look around, thinking that it was not too early or too late to come, there was no one in the store, except for her table, there was only the table sitting in the corner over there, there was no window open over there, the light was a little dim, and the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly, only they could see them dressed in cloth, and they looked a little disobedient when they were wearing them.
Out of curiosity, Jing Tan poked Ah Man next to him and asked, "What are the origins of those two people, they look weird." ”
Ah Man glanced at it and said, "I came early today, and the two of them ordered a mutton noodle soup, and they have been sitting until now, and Ah Niang is not easy to drive people." He leaned closer to Jingtan and whispered, "I guess I don't have the money to pay for the noodle soup." ”
"Not necessarily." She looked at the two of them, looking around, as if they were waiting for someone.
"The little boy's roasted mutton is coming~"
Jing Tan was thinking about it, and Ah Man's mother brought the table noodles, and Jing Tan said: "Bother the store to give this table to the two sons over there first, and settle the account for me." ”
Hearing this, the two turned around and looked at her suspiciously, and Jing Tan saw their beards and felt that they should be called uncle. So he said to the two of them: "The two of you don't have to be restrained, it is also fate to be under the same roof, and this table should be regarded as a meeting gift." ”
Hearing that someone was paying the bill, Aman and her mother naturally happily brought the mutton over, the two of you look at me, I look at you, it seems that they are hesitating to accept or not to accept, when the meaty banquet has arrived on their table, and finally hugged her fist to express her gratitude.
Jing Tan bowed slightly, and smiled at Aman's mother: "Auntie, make me another one." ”
So Aman's mother went to the kitchen to help her husband.
Aman said silently on the side: "Qingzheng, you are really arrogant, I won't invite me if it's me." ”
Jing Tan smiled and said nothing, looking over from time to time, at first neither of the two moved chopsticks, but then one of them couldn't help it, holding the roasted mutton in one hand, and pulling the mutton noodles in the other, and was choked several times because he ate too fast. And the other one kept not moving the chopsticks, because she was being treated to her, she couldn't see the expression on the person's face clearly, but she thought, the person must have his eyes closed, otherwise how could he not be moved in the face of the fragrant mutton?
Either that, the two of them should have come to dinner, maybe they were waiting for someone.
"Why is the third prince here?"
Jing Tan raised her head when she heard this, only to see Mo Su slowly walking in.
"I'm here to eat roasted mutton, and Miss Mo is also here to eat roasted mutton?"
She smiled slightly awkwardly: "Why didn't you come here for mutton." ”
Jing Tan secretly slandered herself, knowing that you just asked me....
At this time, Aman saluted Mo Su and said, "Miss Mo's voice sounds familiar, have we seen it anywhere?" ”
Jing Tan was slightly startled, Xiao Aman was... Is this flirting?
Mo Su chuckled: "I often come to your store, you will inevitably feel familiar." ”
"Is it...."Aman scratched his head, he was still quite confident in his memory, but he couldn't remember seeing this person in the store in his mind....
Mo Su scratched his nose and said with a smile: "There are many people in the store, how can you remember so much from a child." After that, he said: "It is rare for me and the third prince to see each other today, so it is better to send your family's good wine, and we will talk about the wine." ”
When he heard this, Aman became energetic, and before Jingtan could say anything, he agreed to go to the wine cellar.
Jing Tan hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget the wine, I'm not afraid of Miss Mo making fun of it, I'm really embarrassed about the amount of wine, don't explain here without going back." ”
"The third prince is humble, but if he drinks two cups, he can't walk."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aman brought out a few jars of wine and three wine saucers.
Seeing this, Jing Tan brought over the wine saucer, "Children are not allowed to drink!" ”
Mo Su smiled, filled the three plates of wine, and said: "The third prince doesn't know, our people over there are good at drinking since childhood, so many children have learned to drink since they were children, which is also a major folk custom in the Western Regions. ”
"But I'm lonely." Jing Tan smiled embarrassedly, no wonder his mother was surprised to see him drunk that day, and he didn't drink less at home, but he was young and the amount of alcohol was a little worse.
So a few people drank wine over mutton, and Jingtan asked about the customs and customs of the Western Regions, while glancing at the corner from time to time.
In fact, from the moment Mo Su entered the door, Jing Tan noticed that her steps were about to leave, as if she was startled by what she was doing here, but she had been out of the palace so many times, and she had never seen Mo Su surprised,.... Jing Tan thought about it: Could Mo Su be the one who waited for the two of them.
Sure enough, there were a few violent coughs from the corner, and when he looked back, the two of them looked at this side together, which made Jing Tan more and more sure of this idea.
Jing Tan looked enthusiastic: "Miss Mo sit down, it's rare to meet, I'm in for a treat today!" ”
Mo Su sat down across from her, his eyes never falling on the two in the corner.
Suddenly, she said with a worried face: "Mo Su came down from Nanshan, and when I came, I heard that the mage was not in good health, I wanted to go and take a look, who wants the Sanskrit sound to stay there, I can't go, and I don't know what is going on with the mage..."
Although she was worried about Mr., but listening to her words, it seemed that she was instigating her to find her husband, recalling the cinnabar mole of that day....I was shocked in my heart, the sick husband was really abnormal, she would only go to him when he was sick.
"Mr. does not let people get close to his own difficulties, and not bothering is considered to be respectful to Mr." Please forgive her for her disrespect that day.....
Mo Su smiled meaningfully: "The third prince is worthy of being the mage's beloved apprentice." ”
Aman sighed on the side, and said to himself: "I think I can't find Sister Yongsu today...."
At this time, the two people in the corner suddenly stood up and made a gesture to leave, but Mo Su kept his head down, Jing Tan looked at the two, one of them seemed to be glaring at her, Jing Tan saw his face more clearly, most of his face was covered by a beard, revealing a pair of big and round eyes, like copper bells, which were somewhat similar to Lan Qingya Bai, but more rugged than them.
Aman complained silently: "You settled the account for them just now, and they still glared at you, I think your kindness is in vain." ”
