Chapter 44: Meng Su
"Uncle really wants to ride this donkey?"
Early in the morning, the stable boy brought the donkey and mule, tied it to the tethered post at the door of the sixth lady's house, and prepared a set of saddles to put on the mule's back. Donkey mules, which look more like donkeys. The little maid Tang Ting saw the old donkey that had lost her hair, and asked Su Bottle with a smile.
Su Bottle pointed to the donkey and mule solemnly and said, "Look, is this donkey bigger than an ordinary donkey?" ”
Tang Ting blinked: "Yes, why can it grow so tall?" ”
It seems that the little maid lacks the minimum knowledge of animals, and Su Wei smiled proudly: "Top-grade donkey." It also looks majestic to ride out. ”
The little maid with a thin face, but a pair of big eyes, blinked: "Really? ”
Su Bottle laughed and rode away on a mule.
The little maid felt that she had been teased by her uncle, pouted, and sat back in the porter. After thinking about it, he sneered again, went to Tang Wan, and asked Tang Wan: Why is the donkey that my uncle is riding so tall.
Not long after, Su Bottle came to the county office. Everyone in the yamen avoided him and walked, but Mei Ran was still the same as usual.
The swaggering woman in the rivers and lakes put on the newly bought fast catcher, and she looked heroic. She was sitting on the stone steps of the doorway, on her side, one foot on the steps, her arm on her knees, and one foot on the ground. Such a set of clothes is matched with her sitting posture. He looked like a cold-faced eunuch with extraordinary martial arts, staring at Su Bottle who rode off the mule with unkind eyes.
Su Bottle sat on the mule, looking a little proud.
Mei Ran tilted her head: "Su Dashao is so happy because he got an old mule?" Your daughter-in-law gave it to you, right? ”
Su Bei stopped laughing, led the mule to the Wuya stable, and threw a tael of silver to the groom. The groom said, "One tael of silver is for ten days' forage." Su Bottle gave him another 200 yuan, saying that the 200 was for the groom. If you don't have enough forage, let the groom give you a reminder. The groom readily agreed.
Then Su Bottle left Wuya with Mei Ran and went straight to Pingkangfang.
Today, Su Bei didn't plan to see Qi Yu, but planned to find a relatively high place and stare at the Chengfeng Teahouse. Especially the backyard.
"Let's be too conspicuous in our clothes."
Pingkang Fang was bustling, and during a leisurely stroll, Su Bei saw a ready-to-wear shop.
"What then?" Mei Ran seemed to be distracted by something, looking left and right.
"Go buy two cheap clothes."
After walking a few steps, Mei Ran suddenly stood still, stared in one direction and said, "I feel that someone is following us." ”
Su Bottle didn't say a word, and had already walked into the garment shop.
Seeing the official messenger enter the door, the shopkeeper of the garment shop was warmly welcomed. Su Bottle said, according to the figure of the two of us, choose two sets of clothes, lined and outer shirts, shoes, socks, scarves and hats, all of them. Not for us to wear, but for the prisoners. So the cheaper, the better.
Walking out of the ready-to-wear shop, the two hid in a secluded place to change clothes. One to the other. Mei Ran threatened Su Bottle, not allowed to peek, otherwise gouge out the eyeballs. Su Bottle said, I am a righteous man and a gentleman, how can I do such dirty things?
"Hey! You're really peeking, filthy! "There was a sound of plum dyeing in the alley.
Su Bottle rubbed his nose: "I didn't look at you." ”
"And what are you looking at?"
"Didn't you just say that someone was following us?"
After some cleaning, Su Bottlemei Ran dressed like a young couple from the countryside who went to the city, one carrying a package and scurrying around the street.
Where Su Bottle went, Mei Ran followed, and she never asked more. found the latrine, Su Bottle got in, she almost followed in, so angry that she stomped her feet.
The morning ended in a state of "shopping".
Let's just say that "shopping" is a woman's strength, while men are weaker. Su Bottle looked a little tired.
Suddenly, the two disappeared from the street.
A carriage chased them to where they had disappeared, lost their direction and stopped for a long time.
At noon, it was time for dinner.
There are almost no cheap restaurants in Pingkangfang, and Su Bottle and Mei Ran eat mutton in the basin on the side of the road. A carriage rushed over and stopped in front of Su Bottle very closely. The carriage kicked up a cloud of sand and fell in the pots and bowls, and Su Bottle felt that the meal was inedible. Look at the coachman with a cold eye.
The three men in black who jumped out of the car were the three people they met on the Xinzhong Bridge yesterday. But today they didn't speak.
I saw the curtain of the car lifted, revealing a rich woman. It's not very beautiful, but the skin is delicate, the eyes are bright, and the facial features are good. He was dressed in brocade, with a bun on his head, fine armor on his hands, and a golden silk yellow cloak on his shoulders that highlighted his title.
At first glance, he is a nobleman, and his rank is quite high. At this time, Su Bei didn't know that this lady used to be a princess of the county. However, she has already left the county king's mansion and is back to her parents' house. Because she insisted on staying in her mother's house, the royal family had abolished her status as the princess of the county. But she still dresses like this, and no one cares about her.
Perhaps in order to distinguish herself from the common people, she also deliberately put on an arrogant look overlooking all living beings, raised her wrist lightly, and pointed with disgust: "Yo~, this is not Yu Gongzi, how can you eat cheap food at a roadside stall?" ”
Su Bottle remembered that this woman was the woman in brocade who "smashed" a basket of winter pears to Yu Gongzi that day, and she also yelled at Su Bottle, saying something, giving her a good appearance like Yu Gongzi.
Su Bei looked at her carefully, and said in his heart: This woman doesn't have a brain that lacks a string, right? The sky is so wide, how can you be embarrassed to shout out such words?
The middle-aged man in black with a short beard said loudly: "This one in the car is our seventh aunt and grandmother in Chengfufang. I can tell you that when you see our aunt and grandmother, you should kowtow. ”
It turned out to be Meng Su.
Su Bottlemei Ran had already discovered that someone was following, and at first they were going around to lure the stalker to appear.
It was three men in black in front, followed by a red-topped carriage. The man in black is not weak, but he is obviously worse than Su Bottle Plum Dye, so the two of them reappeared, and they were on the side of the road.
Su Wei stood up and hugged his fist at Meng Su: "Did Your Excellency recognize the wrong person?" What kind of rain boy, look at my set of poor clothes, I'm afraid I don't deserve the word 'childe'. ”
"Hmph, you just turn to ashes, and I know you." Meng Su raised his hand and put the incense embroidered square scarf on the tip of his nose: "How can these cheap foods be worthy of the rain boy." Listen to me, you get in the car, and my sister will take you to Meisenyuan to enjoy the blessings. ”
Meixian Courtyard is a large hall with the same name as Wanhualou Caiyun Pavilion, and is controlled by Meng's gate valve. Seeing that Su Bottle was unmoved, the short-bearded middle-aged man shouted, "Are you deaf?" Our young lady invited you, it is a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes! ”
"Meng Tan, Hugh is going to be rude to Yu Gongzi." Meng Su lowered the curtain and said softly: "If Gongzi Ruoyu is unwilling to go with me today, I will not be reluctant." I just have a word to tell my son, when you leave Qinghuafang in the future, remember to go to Chengfufang to find me. In addition, I want to remind you, don't think I'm someone like Tang Qiu. I'm not the same as her. ”
The middle-aged short-bearded man named Meng Tan said in a loud voice: "If you don't go, discount your legs!" ”
The other two black-clothed servants also shouted loudly, and then their master and slave drove away.
The person had already walked away, Mei Ran looked at the food contaminated by the sand, smashed the chopsticks, and scolded sharply: "Stinky and shameless!" I'll kill you when you go out! If you have flower willow disease, it will rot you! ”
"Alas, alas, stop yelling." Su Bottle couldn't cry or laugh: "When people are here, you have no temper; When the people are gone, you are angry. What kind of skill is this? ”
Mei Ran said angrily: "Who said I didn't have a temper at that time, I was thinking, we poor girls, don't delay other people's good marriage." Maybe the rain boy is beautiful in his heart. ”
Su Bottle smiled.
Mei ran away in a bad mood.
"Hey, you're not eating?" Su Bottle sat on a small bench and shouted.
"It's sand, how can you eat it?" Mei Ran stood still.
"Call another bowl, this pot can be given to the beggars to eat." It's not a waste. ”
Mei Ran walked back again.
During the meal, Su Bottle said to Mei Ran, hoping to mobilize the Red Flower Society and stare at Qi Yu.
"Anyway, you guys have nothing to do, it's considered to be working for the government. As for the money, I will ask the fourth son. Don't call for nothing. Su Bottle was half-full, and put down his chopsticks: "If I perform well, I may write the 'Red Flower Society' into the file." You safflower will do more 'righteous' things so that you won't be cleared by the government." ”
Mei Ran stared at Su Bottle: "Why did you grit your teeth when you said the word 'justice'?" Is there anything wrong with justice? ”
Su Bottle stared at Mei Ran, his lips moved, as if he had something to say, but he closed his mouth again.
In the last life, a rich friend of Mr. Su invested in a play, and the rich man put his arm around the young and beautiful actress and said to the screenwriter: Our film must have connotation, promote positive energy, have educational significance, and make the audience cry and laugh.
Although he said it beautifully, Su Bottle believes that the most important thing in being a man is conscience.
Mei Ran was excited because she had obtained a "Jianghu Mission", and she really went to summon the Red Flower Society to keep an eye on the teahouse, while Su Bottle rode home on a donkey and mule.
As soon as I got home, I heard that the list of candidates for the county lord had been decided, and there were three candidates in total. Tang Mei just entered the alternative with five votes, ranking third among the three candidates.
The first place is Miss Nine Tang Huan, with eleven recommenders. followed by Jiugu Tang Qiu's ten recommenders.
Seeing the result, Tang Mei was not happy, her face was long, and she sat on the couch and tore the silk handkerchief.
Her big fat orange cat lay on all fours beside her, revealing its snow-white belly.
At this time, Mama Wang asked Zhu Tao to bring a sentence......
