Chapter 22: Night Talk
There was a soft knock on the door. When Xiang Yan opened the door, it turned out that it was getting late, and the rough eunuch brought dinner. Xiang Yan took the food, brought it into the room, and said, "Are you hungry?" Come, eat. The little county lord sobbed and said, "I don't want to eat, I want to go back." Not again! Xiang Yan sighed, and asked with some curiosity: "Didn't you say that I would send you back in a few days?" Why are you going back now? The little county lord pursed his mouth and said, "You always lie to me and call you ......, and you always bully me and beat me, I won't play with you anymore, I'm going back."
When Xiang Yan heard this, he was quite ashamed in his heart, and said curtly: "Either I won't lie to you, and I won't spank you, won't you go back?" The little county lord shook his head and said, "It's not good, I'm going back." Xiang Yan sighed secretly and said, "It's so dark, how can you go back?" Why don't you rest here for the night and go back tomorrow when it's dawn? "The people arrested by the Heaven and Earth Society will still be retained by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society themselves, I will coax her to stay here for one night first, and Wei Xiaobao will deal with it tomorrow when Wei Xiaobao comes back.
The little county lord shook his head again, and said stubbornly: "No, I have to go back now." Xiang Yan said again: "Do you know where this is? This is the Imperial Palace. I don't know how many palace maids and eunuchs have died in the palace, and there are ghosts when they die. At night, I don't know how many ghosts are looking for substitutes for dead ghosts in the palace! You really want to go back now. The little county lord's face turned pale and said, "You are really bad, you talk always and deceitfully. There are really so many ghosts in the palace, how can they still live there? ”
Xiang Yan smiled secretly in his heart, but said with a serious face: "This ghost deceives good and fears evil, and is in charge of children." Adults are yang, so they don't dare to provoke adults. The little county lord snorted and said, "You...... You can't lie to me? Xiang Yan said: "I promise not to lie to you." And he said, "Lie to you as a puppy." The little county lord asked again, "You must send me back tomorrow?" Xiang Yan said: "I'll send you back as soon as it's dawn."
Only then did the little county lord sit down and eat with Xiang Yan. Not long after the two finished eating, Wei Xiaobao's voice came with the sound of the door opening: "You see I bought you these two strings of pearls, and they were ground into powder for you to rub on, if you are not the first little beauty in the world, I don't have a surname...... No surname Gui! Hey! How did you unlock your acupuncture hole? Xiao Yan, have you solved his acupuncture? The little county lord said: "I gave the acupoint path, and after six or seven hours, I didn't need to solve it."
Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "I went straight to all the jewelry stores in the capital to buy you these two strings of good pearls." After speaking, he took out a brocade box from the baggage he carried, opened it and saw that there were two strings of pearls inside, each string was a hundred, and two hundred were of average size, round and flawless. Wei Xiaobao asked the little county lord, "How is this bead?" The little county lord praised: "This bead is very good, two hundred are of average size, very rare."
Wei Xiaobao was very proud, took a medicine jar at the moment, put a string of beads into the jar, turned a few times, the beads and the medicine jar collided, hitting each other, making a crisp sound. Wei Xiaobao picked up the stone pestle again, and the hammer went down. Xiang Yan's heart shrank when he saw it, and the little county lord also called out with an "ah", and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wei Xiaobao licked a few strokes, smashed the beads, and then kept turning the stone pestle, grinding the beads into fine powder, and said: "Your appearance is good, but it can't be said to be the first-class in the world, and after rubbing my ointment, most of them will become a peerless ...... in the world, and the moon is closed." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, it's good to become a little beauty who is shy of flowers."
Xiang Yan was amazed, Wei Xiaobao's way of picking up girls is really chic, and a hundred pearls will be smashed when he says so. I was really reluctant to change me.
Wei Xiaobao poured the milk and honey into the medicine jar and stirred it well with a stone pestle. grabbed the pearl milk and honey paste and smeared it on the little princess's face. The little county lord was silent, so he scribbled. In a moment, a face was covered with Wei Xiaobao except for his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. After Wei Xiaobao finished applying the ointment, he washed his hands and said, "When the ointment is dry, I will wash it for you with wonderful powder." Three coats and three washes, then you are not ashamed...... It has to be a shame to close the moon. ”
The little lord asked, "Why do you want to paint it three times?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Three times is still a little, and people have to steam and dry soy sauce nine times." Even if it is boiled dog meat, it has to be rolled three times in a row. The little county lord complained: "You scolded me for soy sauce dog meat again." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "There is no such thing as 'soy sauce dog meat'. boiled dog meat in soy sauce, that's braised dog meat; It is not soy sauce, it is a stewed dog meat. ”
The little county lord pursed his lips and turned his head to ignore Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao said again: "In addition to pearls, I also bought a pair of very good-looking things for you." He took out another brocade box from his baggage and handed it to the little county lord. The little county lord secretly swept his gaze towards the brocade box, but Wei Xiaobao didn't open the brocade box, and said, "This thing is interesting, one male and one female." And guess what? The little county lord said: "Is it the little white rabbit?" Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said, "No, it's ten times more fun than the little white rabbit." The little county lord said again: "Is it a goldfish?" Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said, "What's so fun about goldfish?" It's a hundred times more fun than a goldfish. The little county lord guessed a few more playthings, but he didn't guess correctly, and said, "Open it and see what it is."
Wei Xiaobao opened the brocade box, which contained a pair of jade chickens, one male and one female, and the carving was extremely fine. Wei Xiaobao handed the jade chicken to the little county lord and asked, "Do you like it?" The little county lord said, "I like it." At this time, Wei Xiaobao was simply possessed by Jia Baoyu, coaxing the little county lord to smile.
