Chapter IV
The army had been gone for a while, and the crowd had dispersed. Wu Chi also asked someone to send back the bodies of Aunt Yang and her youngest son.
Then he returned to the carriage in a humble manner, and when he got into the carriage, he did not speak, nor moved, nor even swayed with the carriage, as if he was propped up on the seat by a bar.
Xuan Niang looked at Wu Chi suspiciously, a bad premonition came, and asked, "To be honest, is the abnormal commotion in the crowd just now related to you?" ”
Wu Chi waved his hand and shook his head, if he explained it at this time, it would be even worse.
"I don't expect you to tell me, I naturally have a way to know"
Xuan Niang took out a paper oil bag tied in a cross shape with fine hemp rope from behind her, and the red paper label was written with the words "Falling Ice Cake" in black ink.
Wu Chi was shocked that Daifuku bought it back so quickly, and immediately took Luo Bing Crisp and pretended to be fine, saying, "Daifuku has been doing things well recently, and Xuan Niang has to give him a reward." “
Xuan Niang took out a piece and handed it to Wu Chi, "Eat it quickly, it's not easy to save the ice crisp." “
Wu Chi took it and stuffed it into his mouth, stuffing one after another, trying to suppress the frightened heart with his stomach.
Xuan Niang pondered in her heart, wondering how much trouble Wu Chi had caused to be so abnormal.
"You still won't tell me?"
Wu Chi's mouth was full of pouts, his eyes dodged, but he still said in a deep voice, "Nothing happened." “
Inside the Sunshine Tavern
Sang Luo hurriedly opened the door of Xufang Pavilion, and saw that Wu Chi had changed into a green robe and was inserting a hairpin in front of the mirror.
Sang Luo picked up the fog late, carefully looked at it and confirmed that it was complete, and then put the fog down.
"You are really bold enough, you dare to speak in front of the field army, their ferocity is even the turbulent army of Haisheng Country is afraid of three points, you really don't want to die."
Sang Luo shook the fog, hammered and hit.
"I really didn't think too much about it at the time, and I was very scared."
Wu Chi remembered that the general's eyes were very frightened today, as if he would immediately fly down in the next second and gnaw all the bones he had eaten.
"But it's not the warfield general who is confronting me, but he should be a general, I'm sure." Wu Chi remembered it again, and his whole body was excited.
The little guy next to Sang Luo remembered something, and said happily, "Mr. Liren, it should be General Yin Qu." “
"Yin Qu?" Wu Chi was confused, he had never heard of it before.
"General Yin Qu is a small general who has grown up since he was a war field general, not only with high military strength but also with superior strategy, which is quite the same as the military division of the war field army and the god of war."
The little guy was very proud when he said it, and he was full of praise.
Wu Chi snorted lightly, with a look of disdain, "Since you are so powerful, how can you be a small general, and you can't even climb half of the rank of a general in the war field, and in the end, you don't rely on the war field general, and then you are a fake tiger in that fox." ”
When the little guy heard it, he immediately replied
"Don't say that, Mr. Liren, an old friend of mine was originally an errand boy in the palace, and later transferred to the Warfield General's Mansion on an errand, and he once told me that General Yin Qu himself did not seek fame, so he asked Warfield General not to report his fame to His Majesty, otherwise, how could he be a little general, But even if he is a little general, General Yin still fascinates those nobles with his handsome face."
The more the little guy talked, the more he wanted to go up and down again, and he planned to bring Yin Qu's achievements one by one, seeing that Wu Chi's fists were clenched again, Sang Luo hurriedly asked the little guy to go out and run for his life.
Sang Luo broke Wu Chi's fist and said angrily
"Why do you want to fight again, the fight with the little girl of the Li family in Xuanpu last time made you addicted, then you have to let go of this little guy, this little guy has a lot of strength, he can lift two jars of wine at once, don't beat him like the little girl of the Li family."
The more Sang Luo spoke, the more he wanted to laugh, and then he simply covered his mouth and laughed.
Wu Chi's face was red, and he hurriedly explained, "Is that my fault, Li Yangyang first led people to be arrogant and unreasonable, saying that the gold and jade ornaments I sold to them in Xuanpu were fakes, and they also copied the guys, I must not pose a little out, otherwise I will be said that I Xuanpu is a good bully, and later, anyone dares to go to my Xuanpu to shout, so how can I get it." ”
Wu Chi turned to look at himself in the bronze mirror, and continued to fiddle with the hairpin.
"Gotta get it, the world knows that Mr. Liren is the most reasonable, go tell the story, Liu Ruwei's gimmick I have already released, today there are a lot of idle and boring girls, I also see several noble girls from the family" Sang Luo got up to help Wu Chi straighten the hairpin, and then pushed Wu Chi.
"This time, for some reason, the county lord of Naming also came, and asked you to come over to meet."
"This kind of human affection is sophisticated, you just go to block it, why do I have to go." Wuchi stopped and turned around in panic.
"Lord Ming wants to see Mr. Liren by name." Sang Luo accentuated the last four words.
"If I don't go, will the Sansheng Tavern suffer?" Foggy Chi pulled out a forced smile.
"What do you say, the family is the county lord, after the matter is completed, I will brew a can of winter wine for you, one only, and then the next fifteen sunset ice cakes will be delivered to Xuanpu on time in the morning."
Sang Luo gently patted Wu Chi's shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"Deal, if you regret it, I won't tell stories in your tavern, go to the corner teahouse to tell stories."
Wu Chi couldn't resist the temptation, and smiled, but he was just seeing a county lord, not General Yin, who was going to eat people.
"Never go back, you are a red card for my Sansheng Tavern." Sang Luo pursed his lips and smiled.
Wu Chi took the fan, walked up to the high platform leisurely, looked around at the full seats under the stage, and smiled heartily.
He bowed down to the audience, and then bowed to Lord Ming, who was sitting in the private room upstairs.
Wu Chi raised his hand to pick up the waking wood and slammed it on the wooden case, and the audience immediately resounded with cheers one after another.
In the private room, Yin Qu took off his heavy military armor and put on a black robe, his hair stood up high, if he didn't see the murderous aura in his eyes, he would be a kind of noble son, Yin Qu's hands were lazily on the armrests of the sandalwood chair, cold and arrogant. Ming Zhuxuan, who was sitting next to her, was wearing a blue brocade skirt, with a hollow flying phoenix on her hair in a bun, and her snow-white skin was extremely transparent under the sun, making her facial features more agile and energetic. Looking at Yin Qu, Ming Zhuxuan's coquettish face flushed
"General Yin should have rested just now, but now I have to accompany Zhu Xuan to the tavern, it's hard to work for the general."
"It is not easy for Lord Ming to come to the General's Mansion early in the morning with the name of the queen." Yin Qu said in a reckless manner, without a trace of waves in his eyes.
Looking at the high platform, he seemed to find something interesting and leaned forward.
"No, it's just that the storyteller is somewhat familiar." Yin Qu turned around and didn't look at Ming Zhuxuan
Ming Zhuxuan was angry in his heart, no matter how he said his appearance, he was also famous in the capital, and he was the younger sister of Concubine Ming, how could he have no status here in Yin Qu.
"General Yin has seen Mr. Liren?" Seeing that Yin Qu seemed to be very interested in storytelling, he still said happily
"Sir?" The corners of Yin Qu's mouth hooked a trace of arc.
In the high platform, the fog has already begun the story
"It is said that Liu Ruwei is the daughter of a farmer, kind and innocent, living a simple life every day, cooking every day, baking pancakes, and washing clothes"
Wu Chi gestured with his hands in the air, and then his face gradually turned gloomy from beautiful to gloomy.
"If life can really go on like this, it will be fine, but God makes people, in a heavy rain, Liu Ruwei and Chengchi met, and a tragedy began."
The sound of the fog gradually became smaller, mysterious and deep.
"Liu Ruwei was selling cakes on the street, looking up at the sky suddenly overcast, the drizzling rain suddenly turned into a pouring rain, Liu Ruwei hurriedly came to a store to take shelter from the rain, when the rain was slapping on the clothes, he heard something in the alley next to the store, Liu Ruwei looked at it, and the soul was half scared away, everyone please guess what Liu Ruwei saw?"
Wu Chi took a sip of wine and shook his fan
"Isn't it something horrible about?"
"Is it a person or a thing?"
"It's not a tiger and a wolf," there were different opinions in the audience
The fog woke up and knocked on the wood and shouted loudly.
"It was the man who was like a tiger and a wolf, and the three or five thieves were looting one person's belongings, and then looking at the ground, one of them was injured and fell to the ground. The person who fell to the ground was Cheng Chi Cheng Gongzi, Liu Ruwei was a little girl who had never seen this world, but she couldn't bear to be kind by nature, so she still went to call someone to report to the official, but who knew that Cheng Chi actually reflected Liu Ruwei deeply in his heart when he was confused, and his love was difficult to pull out. ”
Wu Chi shook his head as he spoke, knowing that love is the most poisonous poison in the world.
"Chengchi pestered Liu Ruwei every day, helped her sell cakes, sent her home, day after day, Liu Ruwei also opened her heart to Chengchi, the two fell in love, fell in love with the stone bridge, and the sun and the moon were witnessed,"
Wu Chi stopped and waved his hand at the waiting boys, who immediately stepped forward to fill the wine glasses of each listener.
"This is a little wine that I and Miss Sangluo specially brewed for Liu Ruwei, a bottle of twenty stones, please taste it, and Liu Ruwei is like a micro wine, first sweet to the heart, and then bitter to the bones."
Everyone in the audience picked up the wine glass and tasted it carefully, all of them were full of emotion
Yin Qu looked at the wine in his hand, unconsciously picked it up, took a sip, and then smiled.
"What a surprise, departing"
Ming Zhuxuan looked at Yin Qu, and immediately picked up the wine happily and drank it.
Everyone urged Wu Chi to say the back part, and Wu Chi was helpless
"It was supposed to be tomorrow's content, but seeing that the customers wanted it so much, I made an exception" Wuchi cleared his throat
"Mandarin ducks have been privately decided, but in Chihua Country, they naturally want their parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, the two have seen Liu Ruwei's parents, but they have suffered trouble at Chengchi's parents, Chengchi is the son of a rich family in the capital, so naturally he can't look down on a girl like Liu Ruwei from a poor background, but Chengchi said a word in court, and let the Chengjia and the Liu family get married......"
Fog paused, then continued
"Liu Ruwei is pregnant."
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar, and some people regretted it.
In order to maintain his reputation, it didn't take long for the family to marry Liu Ruwei, I thought that life would go on like this, but hey, before Liu Ruwei gave birth to a child, life was excellent, but after the child was born, the Cheng family changed their faces, which can be said to be extremely vicious, and all the work of the subordinates fell on Liu Ruwei, and Cheng Chi was the youngest son in the family, the most disciplined, and sometimes he was powerless. In this way, Liu Ruwei's body became more and more weak, until the hospital said the sentence 'Because I didn't raise my confinement well, and I was overworked, I couldn't conceive a child anymore', Liu Ruwei knew that it was time to go. “
Wu Chi said that his dark eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and the corners of his reddish eyes were drawn down his cheeks, and Wu Chi raised his hand to wipe it off with his sleeve.
Everyone in the audience was also quiet in a sad atmosphere, some people cursed the family, and many girls cried into tears, vowing to see their in-laws' family and remarry.
Wu Chi put his finger to his lips and motioned for the listeners to silence.
"Liu Ruwei plans to move his family to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and fertile soil, and continue to live a good life, don't worry, Liu Ruwei must be doing well now."
Wu Chi saw that he was still in the atmosphere, and immediately added, "Everyone can buy another can of Ruwei wine, which can be regarded as a condolence to Liu Ruwei, and also a condolence to me, tomorrow's content is finished today, and Miss Sangluo should not mention it to me tomorrow." “
Wu Chi smiled smartly, and looked at Sang Luo who was standing under the stage slyly.
Everyone in the audience immediately greeted them to buy wine, and after saluting, Wu Chi left the scene in a dashing manner.
As soon as he got off the stairs, he was immediately caught by Sang Luo, and went straight upstairs
"When the wine was just served, the little maid recognized the person who was traveling with Princess Ming"
"Who?" Wuchi followed Sang Luo and walked quickly, not knowing what to do
Sang Luo stopped, his eyes serious revealing the seriousness of the matter
"This is the one you are indignant about today, General Yin Qu"
"Ah, then why am I still here, I should go home" Wu Chi immediately turned around, thinking of the scene on West Street, he still shuddered.
Sang Luo was behind and called out to stop the fog
"If you don't go, I will be served by Yin Qu in Sansheng Tavern today, and now Yin Qu wants to see you."
"What did he do when he saw me," said Wu Chi as he turned his head, his eyes wide in shock
Sang Luo said softly, reaching out to retrieve the fog
"Don't worry, you should say it too well, don't forget that you are leaving now, if you don't go, he will be suspicious, and even the eighteenth generation of your ancestors will be picked up for you at that time."
Wu Chi tugged at his cuffs, pacing in place, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Sang Luo's pleading eyes, and in his heart, it was like two giant beasts hitting his heart at the same time, making Wu Chi not know which side to take care of.
looked at his green robe, and then looked at Sang Luo's pleading feelings that were about to overflow his eyes, and Wu Chi finally decided to give up his life for Sang Luo
"Okay, okay, I'll go, as long as I don't look at Yin Qu."
"I'm so good." Sang Luo immediately attached it and pulled the fog to leave, and the fog was already crying without tears
Inside the private room
Wu Chi and Sang Luo saluted to the two people inside through the coral bead curtain
Yin Qu's slender fingers played with the wine glass, and his playful eyes kept falling on Wu Chi, who was kneeling on the ground
Ming Zhuxuan smiled at the corner of his mouth and said magnificently
"Get up, Mr. Liren is really as rumored in the market, and his name is well deserved"
Wuchi stared at the floor, didn't dare to look up, and said stupidly
"The county lord of Ming praises falsely, and it is an honor for the grass people to be appreciated by the county lord."
"Mr. Liren can look up, neither the county lord nor General Yin are terrible people."
Ming Zhuxuan's eyes looked softly at Yin Qu, who was not smiling
Hearing this, Wu Chi cursed again in his heart, Yin Qu is Yama, and Sang Luo could only look at Wu Chi sympathetically from the side
Wu Chi raised his head and stared at the orchid painting behind him, his eyes glazed and wooden
Sang Luo immediately explained, "Mr. Liren's eyes are not very good, he can only see into the distance, and I hope that the county lord and general will forgive me." “
Yin Qu looked at Wu Chi's stunned appearance, and the corners of his lips hooked, "Lord Ming, I will accompany General Zhanye to enter the court later today, so I will go back to the house first."
After Yin Qu left, Wu Chi gave a sigh, and Ming Zhuxuan was naturally not interested in staying, his gentle attitude immediately became arrogant, and his tone hardened
"After a while, it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, this time Concubine Ming Niangniang assisted the concubine Niangniang, thinking that the Queen Mother likes to listen to some stories, so I want to invite a storyteller to help the fun, pick and choose is the most brilliant Mr. Liren, Mr. Liren is willing?"
Wu Chi was stunned, I really didn't know where to look at this time, Sang Luo looked at Wu Chi anxiously, and saw that Wu Chi was still flustered, so he immediately replied for Wu Chi
"Mr. Liren is naturally willing, this is a great grace, no matter how many people can't go through their heads, right, Liren"
Sang Luo poked Wu Chi with his elbow, and Wu Chi came to his senses and responded.
After sending Ming Zhuxuan away, he realized that this was a big deal, and he was really going to enter the palace.
