Li Siye returned to Xinchang Fang, there are stalls selling sugar and soup cakes on the main street, soup cakes are actually a kind of noodle soup, and there can not be too many condiments, the soup is floating with green onions and peppercorns, the taste is quite good, and the vendors have found the best ratio in the materials all year round, which is not easy.

He squatted on the ground and ate a bowl, and spent money to buy another bowl for his sister, and was about to go back with the soup cakes, but was stopped by the vendor.

"Lang Jun, it's not that I can't believe you, it's just my bowl of ......"

Li Siye turned around and said: "How much is your bowl, I'll pay you a deposit first, and you'll pay me back when I return the bowl." ”

The vendor looked down and thought that this was a good idea, waved his sleeve and said, "Yes, it's up to you." ”

Although the black porcelain bowl was thick, the soup was too hot, so Li Siye had to use his sleeves to cushion it and go home cautiously.

There was a rough stone at the door, Li Siye put the bowl on the stone, and reached out to pat the door: "Mei'er, it's me, Brother is back!" ”

There was the sound of my sister's footsteps dragging in the yard, the door stall was pulled open, and the top door stick was removed. Li Siye walked in with a steaming bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "Quick, go into the house and eat while it's hot." ”

Li Siye has a feeling of guilt, always thinking that he is a magpie's nest dove and occupies Li Siye's body. If it was some other ordinary person, or a short-lived ghost, or a crisis that needed to be resolved, it would be better for him to use his ability to get out of the crisis.

But this one is different, he wants to be a general in the future, and he doesn't need to solve the crisis. The only thing he can do now is to take good care of his sister, and don't let Mei'er think that his brother's temperament has changed drastically, and he is gradually cold and cold, just like the green lion who pretended to be the king of black chickens in Journey to the West.

He brought the jar of money and placed it on top of the woollen felt, and brought the piping hot soup cake to the jar. In this way, Li Meier does not need to lie on the ground to lick the soup on the edge of the bowl, so it is convenient to sit and eat.

Li Mei'er looked up at her brother, holding chopsticks in both hands and handing them to Li Siye: "Brother, you eat first." ”

"Brother has already eaten it."

She happily took back her chopsticks, lowered her head to scoop the noodles in the soup, and from time to time raised the corner of her eye to glance at her brother, with a rather complicated joy.

The little girl's mind is also quite complicated, but she will not tell the changes in her brother, a big old man who is always in touch with everything and a big old man who has begun to be delicate and cares about people, it is not easy to judge now. But no matter how much Brother changes, isn't he still her brother?

Li Mei'er scooped up the dough cakes in the soup, leaving only a few green onions floating on the soup.

"I'm full." She let out a long sigh of relief and lay down on the wool felt.

Li Siye stretched out his hand to pick up the bowl, walked to the door, put on his shoes, walked to the courtyard, and poured the residual soup under the mulberry tree.

He turned around and walked to the door and said to Li Mei'er, "I'm out, you stay at home and take care of the house." ”

Li Mei'er nodded silently, poking the bamboo dragonfly in her hand, looking bored.

Li Siye walked out of the courtyard gate and thought that she seemed to be eight years old, and she should usually go to school at this age. But now in the Tang Dynasty, many boys from ordinary families can't afford to read, let alone a little girl. If he were to teach it himself, he would be able to teach a female boxer at most, and it would be better to be a gentleman to teach cultural lessons.

He thought that he should visit Wuhou Shop first, but it was not appropriate to go empty-handed, so he simply went to the wine shop in Jinggongfang opposite and bought a jar of wine.

Wuhou shop is usually built in the four corners of the fang wall, the four corners of the big fang have Wuhou shop, like Xinchang such a small fang, it is also close to the two corners of the north and south gates, there are three or four people on a shop, all managed by the Wuhou chief in the workshop. These martial marquis were all dressed in blue-black cloth armor and wore barrier knives, and were responsible for curfew patrols in the streets.

Li Siye stood at the door with a wine jar and looked inside the house, and immediately two people came out and asked with horizontal eyebrows: "What are you doing!" ”

He held the wine jug and waved it and said, "Below is Li Siye, a newly recruited bad guy in Wannian County, who has come to visit Wuhou Chang. ”

The two of them walked majestically to Li Siye's side with the handle of the barrier knife in their hands, and circled around him with a threatening posture before nodding and saying, "Go in." ”

Li Siye followed the two into the house, and the first thing he saw was the shop against the wall, with straw mats on the wooden boards, and the covers were rolled up against the wall. There was a low table in the open space by the window, kneeling on a short seat in a standard posture, holding a black pottery cup in his hand, and stingily tasting the wine.

Other Wuhou gathered in front of a small clay stove, holding a small bowl and drinking water. They sit in a sitting-up position, with their buttocks on the ground and their legs crossed. This is a sitting posture without rules, and if there is a superior to come to inspect, they will never dare to do so.

Li Siye held the wine jar on Wuhou's low table with great eyes, and tried to make a smile: "Li Siye, a bad person in Wannian County, came to visit Wuhou Chang, and this little wine is a little careful, not a tribute." ”

This Wuhou Chang stretched out his hand and rubbed the wine jar, raised his head and looked at Li Siye: "Your baby doesn't look like a bad person." ”

When Li Siye heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I only went to the county party yesterday to report for the quota, if the marquis of Wu doesn't believe it, you can ask the bad handsome Zhang Xiaojing, the lowly position is now mixed with him." ”

Wuhou Chang shook his head and said: "I don't mean that, I mean to say, your baby didn't have any bad deeds before, it's not easy to do this bad thing, if you don't have a name in the market, you can easily suppress the platform." ”

He thought for a moment before he asked tentatively, "I just cut down the general of the Turkish in the West Market yesterday, does this count?" ”

Wuhou Chang raised his head and glanced at him strangely, before he sighed and said: "Being able to brag is also a skill, but this ability is also like a cowhide for blowing, which is easy to break." Alas, the poor people used in the county are now worse than one stubble. ”

Although Wuhou said this, he was not polite to him, directly pulled out the seal of the gift, poured half a bowl for himself, and poured it greedily in one gulp, before pouring half a bowl for Li Siye and reaching out and handing it out: "Come, drink, this is the wine you sent, and it will also stain some of your own light." ”

Li Siye hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it, holding the wine bowl with both hands and pouring it into his stomach.

"Your baby is a sincere person, since Zhang Xiaojing assigned Xinchang Fang to you, you can't just visit me, Su Fang Zheng also has to visit, the rest, the residents in this square are quite ordinary, there are no big officials, it's very easy to get."

Li Siye didn't understand what he meant, so he just arched his hand and withdrew. I went to Jinggongfang to buy some wine, and I really went to visit Su Fangzheng, and I felt a bit like worshipping the mountain.

……

In the early morning of the third day, Li Siye used a wooden bucket to draw cold water by the well in the courtyard, and began to brush his teeth with willow branches dipped in green salt.

He squirted out the green salt in his mouth, rinsed his mouth with the water in the wooden scoop, and was just about to turn back when Zhang Xiaojing suddenly broke in, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Heiye, go out with me, I have a job." ”

Li Siye hurriedly threw down the water scoop, went back to the house and put on the turban, picked up the barrier knife erected in the corner of the wall, and hung it on his waist.

"Mei'er, take care of your home."

He accelerated behind Zhang Xiaojing, and actually rushed towards Jinggongfang on the other side of the street, and at the same time, two teams of armor soldiers ran from both ends of the street, these were not Wuhou, but Jin Wuwei's street envoys led the soldiers under his command. Li Siye was surprised to find that they were running in the same direction.

Two more bad people ran after them, and they came to the base of the Zoroastrian Temple, Zhao Lu and Ma Zhiyuan asked breathlessly, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Xiaojing didn't answer, but just squinted at the gray tiles on the door wall, and two pieces of them were kicked down.

The street envoy stood in front of the door wall and pointed left and right, and the soldiers divided into two teams to surround the ancestral hall, which seemed to be only surrounded, and there was no follow-up action, as if waiting for some character to speak.

Zhang Xiaojing didn't move, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he chewed mint leaves in his mouth.

didn't wait long, the county lieutenant Zhang of Wannian County came on horseback, accompanied by the county lord, as well as the officials of Jingzhao Mansion and the officials of Jinwuwei Youyi Mansion. This battle surprised Li Siye, why did so many officials come?

Even Zhang Xiaojing felt strange, and muttered to himself: "Why did Hu Cao join the army from Jingzhao Mansion, this matter has nothing to do with household registration and taxation." ”

Several adults were on their horses and stopped their tracks in the distance, only the county lieutenant Zhang Hong turned over and dismounted, as if waiting for the officials to make a decision.
