The woman's eyebrows were beautiful, her face was full of peach blossoms, and she walked to the middle of the room in a shy manner, and bowed to everyone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Hong came to Wu Gen and said in a low voice, "Brother Wu, don't drink heavily, you must be careful, today's banquet, I don't know what Lin Ruoshi's heart is, just deal with the scene in the past." ”

"I know." Wu Gen smiled and raised his glass to the person opposite, but he didn't look at Sun Hong, "When you first arrive in Dingyuan, it is not appropriate to directly conflict with it, let's do it and see." ”

While the two were talking, the woman grabbed the plectrum with her bare hand and swept it down gently.

The pipa is loud and loud, the strings are poignant, and the rhythm is faint, like a fog lock mountain and a smoke cage village. Gently twisting slowly, the voice is as slow as a silk rain, hiding a trace of sorrow.

At the end of the song, the woman was full of tears, her face was pale, and she hung her head silently.

Lin Ruoshi put the wine glass on the table, his face displeased, "Today, we are waiting for Brother Wu to catch the wind, but I heard such a sad sound, which is really disappointing." ”

Another person next to him said: "Yes, yes, it is possible that my brothers have bullied you, or they are disgusted with us, and it is really a bit unfortunate to behave like this." Come. ”

With the man's voice, the little servant ran in, "A few masters, how is the tune, do you have any instructions?" ”

"You can't do business in this store, what kind of lamentation music is played on a good day, and there is no reward for changing people."

"Okay, the little one will let her change to a light tune." The little maid stepped forward and pulled down the collar of the woman's clothes.

"Substitution, I didn't understand why, such a vulgar powder, less to stain our eyes." Another person next to him said angrily.

The little guy turned his head to glare at the woman, reached out to pull her up, and quietly pinched her shoulder.

The woman looked up in horror and looked at everyone with pleading eyes, half of her body had been pulled up by the little girl. Seeing that the woman resisted, the little girl scolded in a low voice: "The little wave of hooves who don't know how to advance or retreat, I have lost a harvest today." ”

The woman was dragged to the door, and when she looked back in a hurry, tears falling down her cheeks, as if she was very afraid of being pulled away.

Sun Hong was just about to get up, but was stopped by Wu Gan.

"Wait." Wu Jian got up with a wine glass in his hand, "Everyone, I usually guard Guan Sui alone, and I am used to being lonely, but I like the tone of this little lady." All of you here are proud of your career, and you are used to being happy on weekdays, why don't you accompany me to listen to this sad song today, how about changing your taste? ”

Lin Ruoshi smiled slightly, "I never thought that Brother Wu would be so pitiful and cherished the jade, okay, today I waited for a few people, and I accompanied the model brother to have a grudge." The little lady, the right to make a jade, sat next to this Xiao Lang. If you play it well, this son will be greatly rewarded. ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly turned around, saluted everyone, moved the lotus step lightly, and sat down beside Wu Gan. Everyone burst into laughter, making fun of him, and teasing him for his good fortune.

Wu Gan's face twitched, not because of shyness, this kind of ridicule, compared to the gang of muddy people in the Dafeng Village, it was drizzling.

It's really a bit harmful that Lin Ruoshi is "greatly rewarded", and he touched the little silver in his sleeve, and his toothache hurts.

Sun Hong naturally understood that this old man's mistake of slamming the door had been committed again, so he pulled Wu Gan's sleeve, pointed to his arms, and signaled that he didn't have to worry.

The woman glanced at Wu Gen gratefully, and replayed the song, which was much more cheerful than the previous one.

Taking advantage of the gap between everyone's drinking, the woman whispered: "Xiangxiang, thank you for your son's mercy, and the slave and maid will pay tribute to the son." As he spoke, he took a wine glass from the table, poured a glass of wine, and sipped it gently.

"It doesn't matter. Well? Wu Jian took a sip casually and found that the woman's movements were a little stiff. Behind the slightly cool clothes, the circles of gauze on the back were revealed, "But someone bullied you." ”

The woman was stunned, knowing that Wu Yan had discovered the injury on her back, so she lowered her head and said gloomily: "A woman who works here will be beaten by her grandmother if she can't make money for a day." If today's son doesn't say anything to keep him, I'm afraid that he will be punished again at night, and he won't even be able to eat. ”

Wu Geng's eyebrows furrowed, "Then you don't have to do it here, why suffer this humiliation." ”

Xiangxiang smiled astringently, "Childe doesn't know, we are all commoners, we have been sold here as slaves since we were children, if we escape, we will be killed if we are caught."

Although it is a little miserable here, I can still eat enough in the end. Besides, Mama is already very good, at least she won't drive people away. The sisters of other families will be sold if they can't make money, or they will be driven out and exiled, and they will die in the shadows one day. ”

Hearing Xiangxiang's story, Wu Yan was silent. When he saw the woman's injury, he had already guessed that this was the result, but he never thought that the woman was not resentful, but was glad to have such a safe place.

Sun Hong came over, "Brother Wu, you have come here, there are so many things." After a long time, it will not be strange and get used to it. ”

Wu Yan avoided Xiangxiang and leaned into Sun Hong's ear and asked, "What is the market for this reward, I was just caught by Lin Ruoshi's words, it's not good if I don't pay the reward, so I can let this girl get less beating." ”

"Generally speaking, it starts with five taels, and even ten taels, one hundred taels, and so on, depending on the mood of the guests." Sun Hong hurriedly introduced it, for fear that this one would take out a few copper coins. This kind of thing, he was sure that Wu Gen could come out.

"Five taels." Wu Yan almost shouted out in shock, he gave so much money for listening to a tune, and he and Baoxiang had to sell how much illicit salt to earn it back. Reached out and touched it in his sleeve, and took out a silver ingot of five taels in pain.

Sun Hong glanced at it, quietly took out another five taels, and put them in Wu Gan's hand.

Wu Yan gritted his teeth and handed ten taels of silver to Xiangxiang, and said angrily: "Oh, this is your reward, so you won't be beaten." ”

Xiangxiang hurriedly took it, "No, no." Childe, do you want to play another song? He looked at Wu Yan expectantly.

"No, no, that's all for today." Wu Gen was busy to stop it, and the two tunes were ten taels of silver, and if he continued to play them, he estimated that he would have to go out to be pants.

With the departure of Xiangxiang, the banquet is also coming to an end. As the last pot of wine was drunk, everyone left the table drunk.

On the way back, Lin Ruoshi took the initiative to walk with Wu Gen and Sun Hong, and the three of them stumbled, as if they were not lightly drunk.

Suddenly, Lin Ruoshi turned his head to Sun Hong and said, "Sun Shaofu, allow me to talk to Brother Wu alone." ”

Sun Hong was stunned for a moment and glanced at it vigilantly. Wu Yan smiled, "What's the matter, I don't believe that Brother Lin still has a habit of breaking sleeves." His eyes motioned for Sun Hong to leave.

Lin Ruoshi and Wu Gen walked on the street, walking steadily, not drunk at all.

"Wu Gan, the festival between you and me is well known, do you know why I want to hold a banquet to entertain you today." Lin Ruoshi smiled and spoke.

Wu Yan glanced at the other party playfully, "Could it be that you admire me as a model in the army in your heart, and you want to turn war into a jade silk." Or when you see me so suave, you are secretly impressed in your heart. Unexpectedly, he repented and wanted to get closer. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Wu laughed. I am truly grateful to you for today's feast. Lin Ruoshi turned his head, "I was driven back from the camp of the Xiang Army, it was Brother Wu's hands and feet." ”

Wu Gan just wanted to refute, but Lin Ruoshi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it's right or not, being expelled this time is really a big shame in life."

When I returned to the city, I thought about it again and again, but I was a little relieved. Through this incident, I realized my own shortcomings, that is, I was too high-minded and disdained to deal with low-level people, so I lost the hearts of the people in the Xiang Army.

When I returned, I learned the hard way and made a big difference. Whether it is a pawn in the army or an official in the house, they are all treated in harmony. So, tonight's banquet is really about inviting you.

Everyone here tonight, either for the keeper dog does not know how to forge ahead, or for the vulgar generation to be embarrassed and useful, if you talk about heroes, it is the Wu Gen brothers who can be this number. After tonight, you and I will show our skills again, each showing our powers, and whoever kills the deer depends on their ability. How is it. ”

Licking his lips, Wu Yan smiled and said: "It's also sincere, Lin Ruoshi, I'm wondering, if I take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to slaughter you, wouldn't it be a hundred." ”

Lin Ruoshi shook his head lightly, with a look of pity, "Hehe, I was seriously injured on that mountain that day, so I let you pick up a bargain." Don't look at it, you can defeat the Great Xia Mangfu, but in front of me, it's really not enough.

You don't know how big the gap is between a martial artist and a qi practitioner. Let's just say that you have this ability, in this Dingyuan City, you are not familiar with life, and you don't want to think about it, if I ask you out alone, have you set up an ambush to kill you. ”

After speaking, Lin Ruoshi raised his head and laughed, turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Wu Gen was silent, took a deep breath, and returned to the school captain's mansion to rest.

Wu Jian began the days of the captain's mansion on time, nodding and napping, and in the military room, except for Bi Hua, who occasionally talked a few words, everyone else ignored each other.

As for that Cao Jinren, his face was gloomy all day long, as if everyone owed him money. After trying to get Wu Gen to write a document, he no longer wanted him to catch a pen, but just did something like handing over documents.

At the beginning, Sun Hong also ran to the counselor's room and talked with Wu Gen for a few words, but gradually, even Sun Hong came less.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Cao Jinren handed Wu Yan a document and asked him to send it to the county guard's mansion. Although Captain Yuwen is in charge of the war of soldiers and horses, the county guard is the head of a county in Bao'an County after all, and he has to ask for more instructions on many things, so there are not a lot of correspondence.

Put the official document into an envelope, seal it with fire paint, and Wu Gan casually wrote his name on the seal. At this moment, Bi Hua walked in outside the house and summoned everyone to go to Bing Cao Peng's place to discuss matters. Wu Gan had no choice but to put the letter on the table and go with the others.

By the time we were done, it was already approaching evening. Because he was not very familiar with other people, Wu Yan returned to the house alone, picked up the letter on the table, and went to the county guard mansion to deliver the letter.

The county guard's mansion was also in the west of the city, a few streets away from the school captain's mansion, and after Wu Gan delivered the letter, he deliberately delayed it for a while, so that he didn't have to go back to the lifeless military room.

Waiting out of the gate of the county guard's mansion, Wu Gen went around in a circle, bored and wandering, looking at the surrounding scenery.

As a county seat, Dingyuan City has been built for nearly 100 years, and the scenery is quite beautiful. The Tuo River goes around the city from the west of the city, which can be transported and is also a moat. There are many curved pools and pools in the city, so there are many bridge arches, and it is quite interesting to walk in the middle.

When you walk to the side of the bell and drum tower, this is the gathering place of the north and south, and the flow of people increases. Turning the corner, a few people came in front of him, and the leader was Lin Ruoshi, and Sun Hong was also among them.

Seeing Wu Gan, Sun Hong was stunned, and his face was quite uncomfortable. Lin Ruoshi took the initiative to greet him, "This is not Brother Wu Gan, I haven't seen him for some days, but I have lost a lot of weight." It's such a coincidence, how about a few colleagues get together tonight, why don't we have a drink together? ”

Glancing at Sun Hong, who was lowering his eyes and bowing his head, Wu Yan said lukewarmly: "The despicable family is poor, and the last time I went to the banquet with Brother Lin, I lost ten taels of silver, and I still owed five taels to others, so I didn't dare to go." I still have some things on hand, so I won't bother a few Yaxing. He arched his hands and prepared to leave.

"Where are you talking about, if Brother Wu is short of money, I still have some money to spare here, and they are all colleagues, just take some to make it." Lin Ruoshi didn't seem to intend to let Wu Jian go.

"Forget it, take people softly, eat people with short mouths, eat as much rice as you want, I'll go back and nibble on my pickles and brown rice." After Wu Gen finished speaking, he walked away.

"What kind of person, who grew up eating hedgehogs, shameless face." Someone in the group muttered under his belt.

Looking at his back, Lin Ruoshi shook his head lightly, but didn't say anything, and gently patted Sun Hong's shoulder, "Let's go, don't be in a bad mood, it's such a good time, just raise a glass to invite the moon." After saying that, he led a few people to the east of the city.
