Chapter 625: Xianxiawen Eats Melons and Farms (1)
In the quaint and lively street market, a group of people dressed as officials rode through the streets on horseback, and the vendors and pedestrians along the way were familiar with their own goods and children running to both sides, except for the old and weak women and children who were trampled under the hooves of horses, the other people could not see the slightest look of fear on their faces, and seemed to have become accustomed to all this.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
The officers and men only stopped for a moment on the street, put up the notice, and then left as quickly as if there was an impermanent ghost behind them.
Those who had been trampled by the hooves of their horses were still lying in the streets, and seven or eight fell under their iron horses.
The centaurs were gone, leaving a trail of dust in their wake.
It was quiet, but the street market became lively again, but in addition to the excitement, there were a few more mournful cries in the streets and alleys.
Needless to say, after a few hours, there will be many lonely graves in the fields and underground.
People here are used to all of this.
The wounded souls on the streets, the grievances of the relatives of the deceased, did not resonate with too many people, and they cared more about what was written on the brand-new notice than these.
"What's written on this?"
"The officers and soldiers are in such a hurry, it must be a big deal of 100,000 urgent!"
"Is there going to be a war?"
"It's not like, I haven't heard of any wars recently, not to mention that Xi Country is in a safe corner and has a unique geographical advantage, even if there is a war, we will not be in any danger!"
"What else could it be?"
A group of people were talking nonsense, and they saw an old man with gray hair walking by the side of the street, walking towards a bloody child on the ground with a sad and worried face, and they hurriedly stopped the old man.
"Old Li Xiucai, where are you going at this time, delay your work for a while, and help us read what is written on this notice." A young man said.
The old man didn't seem to hear it, and staggered to walk forward, but was dragged by someone.
"Li Xiucai, I asked you to give you a few thin noodles, don't be ignorant!" Another young man scolded.
The old man's eyelids didn't move, but his eyes were still looking at the child on the ground.
When the others saw this, they came up and pulled him.
The old man's arm fell as if it had broken a thread, hanging in the shabby and white sleeves of his shirt.
He was dragged and staggered to the sign.
Someone saw what he was concerned about, and deliberately said: "Don't you just want to go and see the little Hanako who learned words from you, in this way, you read the notice first, and after reading the notice, we will let you go, otherwise we don't know what the notice says, and you don't want to save the little Hanako!" ”
The other laughed loudly, "We have time, but that little Hanako can't wait, right?" I saw that his stomach was trampled on, and the blood he spit out was smeared, and he couldn't see his original face, and if this continued, his blood would dry up, and he would die, right? ”
The person in front of him answered with a smile, "Then it depends on whether Lao Li Xiucai has a good heart!" ”
The old man drooped his eyelids, and there was endless numbness in his eyes, and there was indescribable pain in his eyes.
His voice was hoarse and strange, as if his throat had been wounded, and he said in a strange tone: "I read." ”
While he was reading the notice, the others began to make fun of his voice, saying that his voice was worse than that of the wild ghosts and beasts in the mountains that kept screaming at night, and that if he didn't know what to do, the wild ghosts and beasts had become refined.
Otherwise, how can a person have such a good heart as he is?
The old man's face remained unchanged, and he was about to leave after reading the contents, but those people were all blocked around, preventing him from leaving, and asking him to repeat it.
He also said that as long as the old man mispronounced a word, it would prove that he was fooling everyone, and then everyone should teach the old man a lesson.
However, their plan fell through.
After that, the old man was forced by them to read it several times, but it was all word for word.
The old man staggered towards the wounded child.
"This old man, could it be that he really has the ability to never forget?"
"Anyway, he said such a long official speech five or six times, and I heard it exactly the same."
"Anyway, let's think about the notice first, it's a good thing! It sounds like it has something to do with the incomparably noble Princess Zixia, and she has to send gold! ”
While a few people were talking, a man with a white face and no beard in the official palace walked out of the back restaurant escorted by officers and soldiers.
Someone knelt down to make a chair, and he put one on the man's back, and his voice was shrill and gentle, "Read! ”
The Zero Man behind him read it out loud.
"Your Majesty has an order: Princess Zixia's birthday is imminent, anyone who sends birthday blessings to Princess Zixia can be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and anyone who can present rare treasures to make Princess Zixia smile, can be rewarded, and anyone who presents a national policy during Princess Zixia's birthday can enter the court as an official ......"
After reading the notice, the men quickly left.
When he left, the white-faced man's eyes were full of disgust, and he did not hide it.
As soon as they left, the crowd gathered in front of the sign again.
"The people in the government read it in person, and it is no different from Lao Li Xiucai, it seems to be true!"
"But is ten taels of silver too much, if everyone in the world goes to send blessings, won't the silver in the treasury be spent?"
"I can't eat enough in my stomach, what kind of treasury do I have to worry about."
"That is, the most important thing in the treasury is probably real money!"
"If this is the case, the floods in June, the hail in May, the cold spring in March, and the snowstorms in January ......"
"Alas, everyone is happy, what are you doing with these disappointing words, there have been disasters over the years, but we have all survived, haven't we?"
"That's it, I didn't see that everyone was happy, let alone these things that make people feel uncomfortable, with this leisure, it's better to think about the birthday message to Princess Zixia, if it's well written, you can have ten taels of silver!"
"What about the second dog, he was still here just now, why is it gone?"
"That kid has always been clever, maybe he has already gone to Lao Li Xiucai to write good words, ten taels of silver, this is not a small amount, I really have to succeed, the cost of two or three years, I am expected to be able to do it again!"
"Hurry up, let's go find Lao Li Xiucai too!"
"Come on, come on, take a look, the best lantern is the most suitable for writing blessings, from five hundred words!"
"Profiteer, obviously the most expensive one before was only sold for two hundred yuan!"
"This damn old king, you will bump into ghosts when you go out!"
Scolding and scolding, but the people who moved their minds still went to the lantern shop while scolding, and greeted the shopkeeper with a smile to make the shopkeeper Wang cheaper.
Everything that happened here was caught in the eyes of a few people at the wonton stall across the street market.
The weak and boneless beauty in red stood behind an empty chair and sighed to the two people in front of her, "Yan Yan doesn't know where she is going at this time, it's a shame that she's not here, if she sees this play, how can she be good!" ”
As he spoke, the figure of a stunning girl dressed in green appeared on the chair.
I'm too busy, I don't have time to code words, so I've only written a chapter, and I'm still desperately coding words
