Chapter 18: Wen's Father and Daughter
Li Siye nodded unconsciously, thinking that Zhang Xiaojing was reasonable, and just sat on the ground with peace of mind, only then did he remember the problem that needed to be solved urgently just now, and said loudly: "How can I do it if I don't go out?" My sister is home alone! If I can't get out, she might starve to death! ”
Zhang Xiaojing frowned solemnly: "Why didn't you say it just now, how simple this matter is for me." ”
Li Siye wanted to burst into foul language, Lao Tzu was just frowning, anxiously begging the jailer, didn't you see it!
He rationally restrained his anger, and now he urgently needed this local snake from Chang'an City to find a way, and his tone softened a lot: "Jinglang, if you have a way, hurry up and help me think about it, I am grateful." ”
Zhang Xiaojing stood up with his shoulders on his shoulder, bowed his head and said, "Sit here with peace of mind, and I will handle your sister's affairs." ”
He walked over to the wooden pillar of the cell and crouched down, squinting his eyes and shouting outside: "Cell boss! Cell boss! ”
The soap-clothed jailer came over with a wooden stick and scolded: "What is the noise, do you want to die!" ”
Zhang Xiaojing raised his head and said: "My brain hurts, and I'm about to die of pain, so I want to buy medicine." ”
Li Siye thought that the jailer would teach Zhang Xiaojing a lesson or walk away, but he didn't expect the other party to squat down, showing a greedy smile and asking, "What medicine do you want to buy?" ”
"Of course, it's to buy medicine that can be safe."
Zhang Xiaojing took out a cake of spice boxes from his arms, but this spice box was made of silver, and the jailer went to get it with joy, but Zhang Xiaojing shrank back and said: "This is not for you, you take this to the Wen Ji incense shop in Dunyi Fang to find Boss Wen, exchange this for a thousand yuan from him, and bring him to see me in prison." ”
He handed the silver incense cake box to the jailer, but the jailer pushed it back, chuckled and said, "You two are important prisoners, and you can't visit the prison according to the regulations."
Zhang Xiaojing glanced at the greedy jailer with one eye, forced the incense cake box in his hand and said: "This silver box plus the incense cake inside is worth three thousand yuan, you go to Wen Ji incense shop to find Wen Wuji equivalent exchange, how about this?" ”
The jailer chuckled, "That's pretty much it. ”
He stood up as if no one was around, glanced left and right with a thief's eyebrows, and then pretended to say loudly: "Headache, wait!" I'll buy you medicine. ”
Li Siye's eyes widened in shock, it was so simple, how did he do it?
Zhang Xiaojing sat back against the wall, chewed the straw lightly and turned his head to Li Siye: "Wait patiently, wait for my brother to visit the prison, and your family will be settled." ”
Li Siye hummed, turned his head and smiled: "There is a way, what does this headache mean?" ”
"You say this," Zhang Xiaojing dusted off the dust in his eye sockets and pointed to the prison guards outside, "These people are just like us, they just earn a little money, and they are still deducted by their bosses with excuses, how can they support their families with only their salaries." In these years, cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, and being a prison officer in Jingzhao Mansion can be regarded as a small fat difference. But they are cautious enough that only those who are familiar with the rules can use them. What I just said about buying medicine for headaches is the black talk agreed between them and the prisoners. ”
Li Siye suddenly understood that these things had already existed in black jargon, and he could only be regarded as seeing it today.
Not long after, the jailer really invited the Wen boss of the incense shop. Li Siye took a closer look, this Wen boss looked like he was in his forties, his face was honest and steady, but he had more forehead lines, he was wearing a round-necked robe with dyed blue patterns, and he was limping when he walked.
He was also followed by a young girl, holding the lame Boss Wen with her hand, the two had similar faces, and they should be father and daughter. The girl has a very fair goose egg face, and the fragrance on her body is very strong, and the fragrance comes to her face to dispel the mildew in the prison, making Li Siye feel that this girl is more beautiful and cute.
He consciously didn't go up to join in the fun, this is Zhang Xiaojing's acquaintance and not his, and it is easy to be disgusted if he takes the liberty of going up. However, after Zhang Xiaojing and Boss Wen talked a few words, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Li Siye: "Siye, come here." ”
Li Siye put his hands in his sleeves and walked to the wooden pillar very obediently, Zhang Xiaojing patted him on the shoulder and introduced the other party: "This is Li Siye, I have only known my brother for a few days." ”
"Heiye, this is Wen Wuji, and it is a friendship with me who was a soldier in the Western Regions."
Li Siye bowed to the other party very respectfully, which made Wen Wuji very frightened, and waved his hand again and again and said: "There is no need to be like this, since Xiaojing's brother, we can talk about it as equals." ”
Zhang Xiaojing turned his head and glanced at Li Siye, there was blame in his expression, which made Li Siye very embarrassed, it seems that saluting is a serious matter, and it is very troublesome to make a mistake.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaojing skipped this section and whispered to Wen Wuji: "Li Siye has a younger sister, who is only eight or nine years old, and her nickname is Li Mei'er, and she stays alone at home in Xinchangfang. You go find the bad guy Zhang Lu, ask him to take you over, and take Li Mei'er to your house for a few days. When the two of us are released, we'll pick her up. ”
Wen Wuji arched his hand, faced Li Siye and said, "Siye, don't worry, I'll pick up Sister Ling immediately when you leave here." ”
Li Siye hurriedly bowed his hand and thanked him: "Thank you Brother Wen for your help." ”
Wen Wuji smiled slightly to indicate that it was okay, turned his head and frowned and asked Zhang Xiaojing: "What did you do, but tell me, do you need me to ask someone to walk outside?" ”
Zhang Xiaojing shook his head, squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "This matter is a little special, it's better for you to know less." However, I heard that there are many dignitaries and dignitaries visiting your Wenji incense shop, can you vaguely inquire about what secrets have been rumored in the Prince's East Palace recently. ”
Wen Wuji was taken aback, it was really a little special, and he could implicate the East Palace. He turned his head warily, looked around at no one, and nodded to keep the matter in mind.
Li Siye stood aside, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the girl. This is the first time he has observed the women of Datang up close after coming to Datang, and he is curious, but not tempting. This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, who has just faded from the general horn, and has just learned how to love beauty. She wore a falling horsetail on top of her head, and a copper hairpin and a step shake were inserted on the left and right. Wearing a white silk shirt, the cherry-colored long skirt is tied high to the chest, and the ribbon is tied in a knot above the chest, giving people the illusion of being young and graceful.
The jailer who had collected the money came quickly, and he was afraid that he would be found out by the superior and cut off his errand, so he urged in a low voice: "When the time comes, let's go quickly, it's a big deal that I won't take your favor next time." ”
Wen Wuji bowed his hand to Zhang Xiaojing to say goodbye, and before leaving, his daughter Wen Ran glanced at Li Siye angrily, which was a warning to his light gaze.
Li Siye laughed dumbly, but Zhang Xiaojing next to him looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes, and snorted:
"Boy, it's addictive, this is the only seedling of our eighth regiment, if you dare to think crookedly, be careful about your flesh and skin!"
He felt ridiculous when he landed, am I that kind of person? Besides, she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, how can I, Li Siye, be tempted by a tender girl.
