Chapter 137: Revisiting the Old Job
"Inform Peng Lun about Xiao Mu's alliance with Tubo, and see how he reacts. If my expectations are good, he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He has been an official in Yongqing County for many years and should know how to deal with it. You just wait for the saint to send someone to check on Xiao Mu. And I'm very willing to run an errand for you and go to Yongqing County to spread a word. Li Huichun took a few steps back into the alley, and kept watching his surroundings vigilantly as he spoke.
I was completely confused: "What? You...... You're going to deliver a message to Burn Lun? ”
Li Huichun said: "From here to Yongqing County, with your ability, can you ride a horse?" If you drive, it will take about half a day. And my light work is not bad, prepare a fast horse, ride for a while, run for a while, and you can arrive after dark, and when Peng Lun is done, he will appear in the Rejuvenation Hall normally before dawn tomorrow, leaving no trace. ”
Speaking of horseback riding, I really can't stand it, and I'm afraid Song Erlang and Su Xiaolu won't. It's just that Li Huichun, he is actually willing to help me? I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
"Doctor Li, you ...... You have no grudges with Xiao Mu, why do you want to do this? Song Erlang was also puzzled.
"Because I don't want him to be an official anymore, I want the saint to remove him from his position."
I was stunned by Li Huichun's answer: "Why? You're his best friend. How can he compare his affection for you? I remember listening to Long Yuhan say that on the day you moved to the Spring Hall, he reunited with you, and cried a lot in front of the Du's medical hall guys and the Tianyan team, completely ignoring his identity as a chaplain. ”
"Yes." Li Huichun's eyes suddenly turned red, and I don't know if he thought of the scene at that time and was a little moved.
"I hate him because he killed Jiajia, but he has a deep affection for you, why do you want to hurt him?" I asked, puzzled.
Li Huichun closed his eyes slightly: "When Qincha is too tired, I just hope that he will be happy every day and be less nosy." ”
"Then it won't accuse him of fornicating with the enemy's country, will it? If it is found out that it is true, it may be killed. Song Erlang said, when he looked back and saw me, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said: "But if he killed Jiajia, he deserves death!" ”
"Then it's settled." Li Huichun pinched his fingers and calculated: "It will only take a day to pass the book from Yongqing County to Chang'an, and you can wait for the sage to send someone on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the earliest." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait until the day of the Lantern Festival."
……
It's not that I can wait, it's just that I can't think of a better way. If I am also as extraordinary as Li Huichun, I will definitely teach Xiao Mu a good lesson.
When I got home and faced the empty courtyard again, I burst into tears. Who said that a manly husband sheds blood without tears? It must have been that he hadn't encountered anything really sad.
There is Wang Jiajia's shadow everywhere, she smiles so sweetly and beautifully, but I can't touch it......
I involuntarily walked to the mill, and the round millstone was quietly watching me, as if expecting my favor. I opened the cloth bag next to me, and there was still half a pocket of soybeans left in it.
I've been resting for half a month, and it's time to continue working. Because only by finding something to do and keeping yourself busy, you don't have too much energy to think nonsense, and your heart will be a little better.
I measured the soybeans, sifted them, soaked them in water, and moved the pots, buckets, and some household items containing tofu to the well to clean them, and I was busy until dark, and then I went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of gnocchi and eat them, and then fell asleep.
……
The next day, before the hour came, I got up again and started a day's work, and when I carried the burden to the door of the Jianghu Inn, it was bright.
"Jianghu, will you be out of the stall again today? In the New Year's month, don't take a few more days off? Fauber asked, still smiling.
"Yes. It's already the tenth day of the first year today, so I've had enough rest. I replied and glanced inside, "I wonder if the proprietor still agrees with me to set up a stall here?" ”
"Agree to agree, the proprietress has already spoken, let you feel free, our owner listens to the proprietress for everything, of course I agree."
"Thank you very much."
Fu Bo glanced at the guest hall: "Uh...... Or you can put it at the door. Now that the climate is warmer, Lao Fang has been holding back for a while, and wants to talk about books in this corner. ”
"Okay." I know that the place in their inn is so big, it is almost the end of the year, and many people have begun to come out to look for work, and there must be a lot of people who come to the inn to eat salmon clear soup noodles, so I have to leave some space for them. Uncle Fang is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he only has the ability to tell a story, so he naturally has to try his best to earn some repeat customers for the inn.
"It's still the old rule, help move a box to the back kitchen." Fauber took out the account book: "The price of your tofu hasn't increased, right?" ”
I shook my head and smiled faintly: "No, it's still the old price." ”
"Okay, I'll make a note for you."
I moved a box of tofu to the back kitchen, put the remaining box under the eaves, set up two small tables next to it, and went to the back kitchen to bring bowls and spoons. Today, on the first day of opening after the New Year, I don't dare to do too much, one is that one person can't pick it up, and the other is that I am afraid that I won't be able to sell it and not have a good fortune.
"Is there any bean curd?"
I had just put everything in place when I heard a woman's slender voice ask.
"Yes." I quickly replied, "Is the lady eating here or ......?"
My words stopped abruptly the moment I looked up, and I looked at the woman's gentle eyes dumbfounded, and I was momentarily overwhelmed.
Xianglan, the maid that Mu Niangzi bought the day before yesterday, although I know that she is not Wang Jiajia, but ...... Their eyes are so similar.
"Eat here." Xianglan put down the empty basket in her hand, sat down on the small stool, and smiled shyly at me.
I finally came to my senses: "Okay, right away...... Right away. ”
As I spoke, my hands somehow shook so hard that I shuddered and scooped a bowl and sent it to her, not daring to say anything more.
"It's delicious!" Xianglan boasted and tasted it slowly.
I couldn't help but look at it secretly, and I was even more shocked that she even looked so much like Wang Jiajia when she was eating. The slender fingers gently hold the bowl, the right thumb, index finger, and middle finger hold the spoon, and the remaining two fingers are upturned outward, like an orchid in full bloom.
I remember laughing at her before, saying that she was too contrived, and she was not everyone's daughter, so it was necessary to pose like this for a meal?
She laughed and said, "It depends on what time it is, if I'm too hungry, I'll gobble it up, but if I'm just enjoying the deliciousness, I'll definitely taste it slowly, and of course I'll be more elegant." ”
Delicious? She thinks it's delicious! I was overjoyed, staring intently at her red lips.
"What do you see? Something on my face? Xianglan suddenly looked at me and asked.
"Huh? Not...... It's nothing. I was so frightened that I quickly turned my head and pretended to wipe the table in front of me.
Xianglan smiled: "Didn't you just wipe this table?" It's useless again, so why wipe it again? ”
"I ......" I really don't know how to answer.
"I ...... Is it good-looking? Xianglan asked again.
I couldn't help but look at her again, just looking at her, this look, gentle and charming, made people want to be closer. If Wang Jiajia also looks at me like this, soon, we can't help but hug each other and have a good time.
"Hey, do you want to wipe your saliva?" A handkerchief reached out to my face.
"Heartwarming!" I was startled, lifted my sleeve and wiped it on my mouth, and swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva, only to feel like my face was on fire, spreading down my cheeks and burning to my earlobes.
"Sister Warm Heart, why are you here?" Xianglan cheered.
Nuan Xin sat down opposite Xianglan and glanced at me: "The lady is not worried that you will come out to buy vegetables alone, for fear of being bullied by the disciples, let me protect you." ”
"Dengzi? No, in broad daylight, who would dare to be so bold? Xianglan looked left and right and asked innocently.
"You don't understand this, some people, they look talented, but they don't know what dirty things they are thinking in their hearts." Warmly analyzed seriously, and looked at me again: "Bring me a bowl of bean curd too." ”
"Okay." I bowed my head in response, and in a panic I flattered her with a bowl of it, and some of it was too full to throw on the table.
"How much?" Xianglan asked.
"Two pennies, oh, two bowls, four together...... Four pennies. "I stuttered again.
"Give." Xianglan smiled slightly, took out four copper plates and put them on the table, took another bite slowly, and gently bumped her arm to warm her heart: "What?" I've just gone out, and I'm missing your big brother Long again? ”
Warm heart pursed her lips and smiled: "Stinky girl, what nonsense?" ”
"Where am I talking nonsense, who keeps saying that he is just an ordinary friend with the dragon catcher, but as a result, yesterday I saw that the dragon catcher was hit by the trap, and rushed to save people desperately, and when I saw that the dragon catcher was injured, I was even more worried and almost cried."
Warm heart blushed: "Okay, can you stop being so annoying?" You've laughed at me all night, isn't that enough? ”
Xiang Lan pressed her mouth with her fingers and forced a laugh: "It's not enough." Hehe, look at your kind and loving looks, you can never get enough. The lady has spoken, saying that you are not a maid, so that you can marry the dragon catcher with peace of mind, but why do you still delay it again and again? ”
"I said when I followed the lady, I will never get married if I don't settle the lady." Warmly said resolutely, took another bite of bean curd, and glanced at Xianglan: "Okay, don't always talk about me." I see, you want to marry yourself. ”
"I ...... Where do I have it? Xianglan covered her cheeks with her hands, her face was not red, but her ears were already stained with blood, and her eyes suddenly looked at me again.
I touched my hot ears and looked at her again, and my heart was drumming.
Li Jianghu, Li Jianghu, I didn't expect you to be really a negative man, don't you only like Wang Jiajia in your heart? How can I see this woman who is somewhat similar to Wang Jiajia, and I can't help but be moved?
"Boss, let's have a bowl of bean curd!"
I was blaming myself, and another person pulled me back to reality, and I followed the sound to see that the lord was already seated at the table beside me, staring blankly at the gradually lively street, as if preoccupied.
