492 Nishishi Tavern (2nd Shift)
Such a topic is somewhat heavy.
Rong Xi said it at this moment, obviously not to gain any sympathy and comfort. Shi Huan knew that she had always been a strong woman, and she had never shown her weakness after knowing her for a long time. Now the Rong class master, who is also a little famous in the imperial capital, has always been gentle and exquisite, and those family backgrounds and upbringing are from the depths of the blood.
Such a woman, in fact, it is not surprising that Lu Yanting only glanced at it and sank.
"Rong Xi ......" Shi Huan lowered her head, stirring the veil, maybe it was the other party's open heart, which made her also unload a lot of defenses, she asked the other party in a low voice, "Rong Xi, if one day, you find that the person you care about is hiding a lot of things from you, what should you do?" ”
Rong Xi groaned slightly, lowered his head and smiled, "People like us...... Who doesn't have some secrets that can't be revealed? The scars along the way, the pale and bloodless face under the mask, the mechanism is only for the other party's plan...... And what can be easily said? The more you care, the more you can't speak. ”
"The scars are too ugly, and those who pay ...... Why bother to put pressure on the other person by speaking up? ”
Shi Huan was silent, yes...... In the end, he has never done and told it, for example, he has long understood the past, but he has never told Gu Ci. In the final analysis, it is also a concealment.
"Because I care, I will subconsciously stand in the other party's perspective and make what I think is the best choice for the other party." Rong Xi's eyebrows were gentle and compassionate, she smiled and straightened out Shi Huan's somewhat scattered hair, and said slowly, "How can you be harsh on such a concealment?" ”
"Mind is the most precious thing. You say that you are hungry and want a bowl of porridge, but the other party brings you a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so do you have to blame the other party for not giving you a bowl of porridge? ”
Gently put down a cup of tea in front of him, the tea was fragrant and faint, it was sent by my aunt before, saying that it was a new tea to the palace this year, and I knew that I loved tea, so I let people send it for the first time. I also asked the other party to thank my aunt on my behalf, and by the way, I brought in some spices as a return gift...... It's not about how precious this tea is, but about the heart......
I understand the truth, but how can I forget it in Gu Ci?
She rubbed the teacup for a long time before she smiled with relief, "A conversation with Rong Xi is better than reading for ten years." yes, I'm obsessed. ”
Rong Xi got up with the tray, "It's good to figure it out." Katayu was seriously injured and unconscious, and Hanyan did everything himself, and he was also very busy, if you were so uneasy, the girl wouldn't be able to hold on. ”
Shi Huan got up to send it off, but Rong Xi pressed his shoulder, "It's okay, I have been coming to your house often recently, and I am familiar with it, so I don't need to send it...... It's just, tomorrow, I don't think I need to send any medicinal food, right? ”
Shi Huan shook his head with a smile, "No need." I'm bothering you to go through this today, and I'll delay you a lot of money, right? ”
"No! You reminded me, I have to go to Master Gu to calculate the money!" Otherwise, this deal is not cost-effective, and it will be a big loss......" he said, waved his hand with a smile, and left.
Shi Huan frowned and smiled, sure enough, this Rong class master, when he talked about silver, it was like a wolf seeing meat, and his eyes could glow.
……
In an inconspicuous small alley in the West Market, there is a very simple restaurant, there is no plaque at the door, only a banner with the word "wine" is hung on the side.
The banner looked like it had been some years old, and it had been weathered for a long time, and it hung there in tatters, and the red background of the flag had almost faded, and it was dull.
It is said that it is a restaurant, and it is almost the same as a wine stall.
Although the wine stall is broken, the business is not bad, as soon as it is night, there are many people in the West City who come to drink, most of them are tired from doing a whole day's work to rest, the wine does not need how to be good, a large bowl, a few copper plates and a big bowl, the conditions are better, put a few peanuts, and then the better ones can also call a plate of pigs, cattle and sheep scraps, not to be exquisite, just to drink freely.
But generally, there is not much business in the morning.
This morning was different.
Before noon arrived, a girl in a cloak came to her house, and the cloak was so wide that it covered her face, and she could not see anything. Only the hand that protects the cloak and hood is fair-skinned and delicate, and at first glance it is a girl from a good family.
Either rich or expensive.
The shopkeeper was unexpected, but he didn't inquire, but honestly followed the girl's request and invited him upstairs. It's not a private room, such a place, how can there be an elegant room, elegant people will not come to such a place to drink, but it is just some single rooms, which are rarely used on weekdays.
Those guests who pursue pleasure like to gather together, even if they have never crossed paths before, after a drink, they can hook up shoulder to shoulder as if they have known each other for most of their lives.
The happiness of ordinary people has always been so simple.
While sighing, he invited the girl upstairs. The girl said that she was waiting for someone, and she only let a pot of tea be served, and she didn't ask for snacks, but she gave a lot of reward and told Xiao Er to retreat away and not to disturb. The shopkeeper happily agreed, turned around and went downstairs to order the second child in the store, not to stay far away from the elegant room.
It wasn't long before noon, and the number of guests began to increase, and the shopkeeper forgot about the girl.
Until the night when the store was about to close, he suddenly remembered the guest, sighed with Xiao Er, gossiped by the way, and asked, "Who was the guest waiting for the girl at that time, can anyone recognize it?" ”
Who knows, all of them are silent, and they all look confused.
The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to see the girl leave, and he only thought he hadn't paid attention at that time, but at the moment he was a little uneasy for no reason - could it be that the girl is still there? He hurriedly went to the second floor, saw that the door was closed, knocked on the door, but there was no response, only then did he think that he was really suspicious, at this time, how could he still be there......
So he pushed the door and entered...... I saw the girl still wearing a cloak lying on the table, blood ...... Left a lot.
Within a quarter of an hour, the government sent someone over. It was two very young officials, yawning again and again, looking unhappy. The West Market is very chaotic at night, there are always strange things, and there are often things about the dead, most of them are drunkards with no identity and get drunk and fight, most of these errands are handed over to them who are not very qualified, and they are not good at doing the land, they are convicted, and they are doing it well, but there is no reward.
To put it bluntly, thankless.
The two petty officials took the corpse away that night, and they didn't close the shop, nor did they scold, and even the two boys were still yawning when they left.
Behold...... Within an hour, the street of Xishi changed the sky.
