Chapter 624: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure!
"Qiang'er said the same thing, and the crowd of onlookers also spoke for Miss Su!" Wen Jin'an sighed lightly, "But the more this is the case, the more embarrassed the two girls become, they have already touched the anger of the public!" If you say something ugly in public, you don't know how to end it! ”
"Can't let them do this!" Before King Jing could speak, Princess Jing on the side was anxious, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Qi Mansion have always been the most harmonious, if because of this little child's matter, there is a discord, and then let the monarch and ministers centrifuge, it will be a big deal!" ”
"Exactly!" King Jing nodded vigorously, "Without further ado, let's go!" Come on, prepare the horses! Ah, by the way, have you reported this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"I've sent a message from the palace!" Wen Jin'an replied, "Weichen was looking for His Highness first, but after thinking about it, whether it is His Royal Highness Miss Su or the people of the Gao Qi family, they are not suitable to appear on that kind of occasion, so I came to invite you!" ”
"You're doing the right thing!" King Jing nodded, "At this time, it's better for them not to show up yet!" Let's let this king, a peacemaker, go and make peace with the mud! ”
King Jing and Princess Jing galloped all the way to the rescue, and the people sent by Wen Jin'an also entered the palace to report at this time, and learned that Xiao Rin and Su left the palace to play, and they were so anxious that they couldn't do it, Chengyue asked the ins and outs, and summoned the guards in the East Palace to find someone on the street.
At this time, Xiao Rin and Su Li were drinking in a tavern in an inconspicuous alley.
Although this alley is inconspicuous, it is extremely quiet and leisurely, compared to the bustling city, it is more elegant and comfortable, the tavern is not big, and there are not many guests, but there are three or two, but looking at their conversation and dress, they are all gentlemen.
The layout in the tavern is also very elegant, it doesn't even look like a tavern, but more like an elegant place to talk.
There are several plum trees planted in the courtyard, at this time it is facing the cold wind, the white plum blossoms pile up the clouds and snow, the red plum blossoms are scorching and gorgeous, a gust of cold wind sweeps by, and the cold fragrance of the quiet and elegant is sent into the room.
All kinds of ornaments in the room are scattered, and the charcoal in the furnace is burning vigorously, baking the whole house as warm as spring.
Su Li and Xiao Rin boiled tea and warm wine around the stove, the tea fragrance was overflowing, the aroma of wine was intoxicating, and on the baking net on the small stove, oranges and sweet potatoes and other foods were also placed, and at this time they also exuded a burst of sweet fragrance.
The two of them snuggled up on the soft seat by the stove to drink tea and chat, enjoying the calm and warmth they had never had.
"I used to read books, and I read a sentence that stole half a day's leisure, but now I can be regarded as understanding the meaning!" Xiao Rin smiled, "The two of us just stole this half of the day's leisure!" How does Ah Li feel? ”
Su Li was busy stuffing tangerines into his mouth, and the tangerines that had been roasted by charcoal fire, part of the water had evaporated, and the sweetness was one degree higher, and it tasted more and more refreshing.
She had an orange petal in her mouth, and when she heard Xiao Rin's words, she smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, this place is very beautiful!" Just now you took me to this place, I don't know what you're going to do, but it turns out that the winding path leads to the secluded, this remote place, there is such an elegant place! How did you find out? ”
"I've been here since I was a kid!" Xiao Rin replied, "At that time, I was only eight or nine years old, and I had been trained on the battlefield at a young age, although everyone said that I was talented and a god of war, but the first time I went to the battlefield, the first time I killed someone, I would also have nightmares!" In the winter of that year, we fought a bloody battle with Da Chongqing, at that time, the army of Da Xiao was not as good as Da Yu, and the battle was fought extremely hard, and the blood of the soldiers dyed the river between Da Xiao and Da Yu red! Because the weather was extremely cold, the blood soon froze, and the river became a blood-colored ice river! The bodies of many soldiers who died in battle were not fished out in time, and they were frozen inside......"
He recalled the tragic scene he saw for the first time in his life, and his black eyes, which had always been cold, also glowed faintly.
"That must be terrifying, right?" Su Li imagined the situation he described, and sighed lightly, "You were still so young at the time, you must have felt very uncomfortable when you saw that!" ”
"Uncomfortable!" Xiao Rin nodded, "I had a very good brother at the time, who protected me all the way, and later was killed by the Dayu soldiers to protect me!" Later, we repelled the Dayu soldiers, I went to look for his body, and found that he was frozen in the ice, and he still looked like he was in pain when he died. The ice was more than half a meter thick, and I smashed it with a hammer for two hours, and my hands were broken, and I couldn't dig it out! ”
"And then?" Su Li asked.
"Later, I was forcibly pulled back by my grandfather!" Xiao Rin replied, "But after that, as soon as I close my eyes, I will think of my brother, he is actually not very old, but sixteen or seventeen years old, do you know what the last words he said when he died?" ”
"What?" Su Li looked at him.
"Mother!" Xiao Rin replied in a hoarse voice, "When he was dying of pain, he called his mother, and he said, mother, I want to go home!" I'm so homesick! ”
Su Li's throat was blocked when he heard this, his eyes were sour, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he silently stuffed a petal of orange in his hand into his mouth.
The oranges were sweet, hoping to neutralize the bitterness in his heart.
Xiao Rin opened his mouth to bite down, feeling the sweet juice spreading in his throat, and his sour and heavy mood was much more relaxed.
"I told you these things...... "I said these things," he sighed with a smile, "if you don't go out today, you are relaxed, and you shouldn't talk about such heavy things!" Actually, I mainly want to say that my brother's family is the one who runs this tavern now! ”
"So, this is your old man's inheritance......" Su Li chuckled, "They did a really good job!" ”
"Not really!" Xiao Rin shook his head, "Actually, to be exact, this tavern is your mother's property!" ”
"Huh?" Su Li was stunned, "How could it be related to my mother?" ”
"That's a long story!" Xiao Rin said, "I have to start from the beginning, when I returned to Beijing when I was eight or nine years old, in order to repay my brother's kindness, I came to look for his family, and learned that their family was working in this tavern, and at that time, their owner was your mother...... No, I should call her mother-in-law now! But she doesn't come often, and most of the time, my brother's mother takes care of it! I know a lot about your mother......"
"Can I meet her, then?" Su Li asked urgently, "I want to hear her talk about my mother'......"
Since she knew about her mother, she often dreamed of her mother, but she had never seen her mother's appearance, Jiang Fei used Su Yun and Li to replace Tao Zhuang, and naturally she would not leave her mother Su Ning's old things, the Su family experienced a catastrophe, and nothing was left behind.
Therefore, Su Li had never even seen a portrait of her mother, let alone the old things she had used.
Now, there is an old person who has been with her mother for a long time to see, and she is very excited.
