Chapter Seventy-Five: The Great City of Luoyang (1)
Ah Miao and Ah Yan helped Shi Biyu back to his residence, entered the door, threw the two of them off, and sat on a single couch angrily, Ah Miao was busy pouring tea, Ah Yan stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders for him, and said in a flattering voice: "What's wrong with the son, who made you angry?" ”
"It's not Shu Yan's poor boy, the two of us were enemies in the previous life, I was born and grew up with him at the same time, he was better than me everywhere, and always compared me. When I was in Ruyin, because of ......"
Biyu only said half of it, but Ah Miao also knew that he was talking about the story between him and Shu Yan and Zhixin.
"Now that I'm in Jingshi, he's ghostly and ghostly......"
"How can he go against you, it can't be compared at all, didn't the head of the family say it just now, now the entire Ruyin evaluation power is in the hands of the head of the family, and the head of the family can still make him a head above you?"
"Hmph, you can put a hundred hearts on this, even if he works hard all his life, I have been leisurely and idle all my life, he can't be out of my right!"
"Of course he doesn't deserve your worries, I don't think it's him who you should worry about, but ......" Ah Yan said this, stopping a pair of soft hands on Biyu's back, and looking at Ah Miao who was making tea.
"Ah Miao? She is a humble woman, what is there to worry me about? ”
"Why not, I heard what you said to the head of the family just now, Ah Miao and I. When you talked about the head of the family doing Zhongzheng, the whole family was very happy, only Ah Miao didn't care at all, when the head of the family compared you with Shu Yan, she also looked as usual, but when she talked about Xianbei's what was called 'not as good as a ghost'......"
"It's Murong Diao."
"Yes, it's Murong Diao, when she invaded the border, she looked extremely uncomfortable, and her face was red and white for a while......"
"What does that mean? If you think about it, if you're in a foreign country and you're surrounded by aliens, and you're uncomfortable when people say that your people are invading them, it's normal for you to react. As for doing Zhongzheng or something, Ah Miao has never cared about it, what's so strange? ”
"That's not what I said." Ah Yan pressed her hand on Biyu's neck, "I mean, now that the Xianbei clan is fighting with our Great Jin, you let a woman from the enemy clan accompany you left and right, this doesn't have a good impact on you, right?" ”
"Hehe, Ah Miao, you're too worried. Now the scholars in Luoyang City, who don't have a few Hu slaves, this is too common. Besides, as long as our emperor makes a crusade edict, how long can that little Xianbei tribe last? Aren't you obediently a vassal after that? ”
"That being said, the emperor must hate the Xianbei people in his heart now. Her yellow hair is so conspicuous......"
"So what, Ah Miao, I will never let go." Shi Biyu closed her eyes, put her hands on her knees, and suddenly had an idea, "Hey, there is, her yellow hair can be dyed black." ”
"Dye black?"
"Yes, dyed black, I just don't know if she agrees."
"What does she disagree with as an inferior person? I can't wait to do it, maybe I hate my parents for not being able to give her a black hair, and I can't wait to reincarnate again and be a Chinese! ”
"What yellow-haired and black-haired?" Ah Miao brought the tea and put it in front of Shi De, and she occasionally heard a sentence or two of conversation.
"How about dyeing your yellow hair black?" Shi De still asked with his eyes closed.
"Why?"
Without waiting for Shi to speak, Ah Yan said slightly mockingly in the back: "Childe wants you to integrate into the Chinese, you have lowly yellow hair, the sign of a lowly alien......"
"What's wrong with the yellow hair? Whether it's black hair or yellow hair, it's all for other people's slaves, isn't it? ”
"You? Hum! Ah Miao's words made Ah Yan speechless, because she was a black-haired slave.
Shi Biyu has grown up now, and he no longer beats and scolds these two maids like he did when he was a child, but as he grows older, he has a sense of love for these two, so Ah Miao and Ah Yan are also a lot more casual in front of him. These two people are delicate and scathing, and the other is gentle and steady, and no one can do without them.
"If you don't dye it, you won't dye it, will the court really punish me for this?" He put his arm around Ah Miao with one hand, and Ah Yan from behind with the other, "You two, a yellow-haired maid and a black-haired maid, are all my beloved maids." ”
"Will the court embarrass you because of my yellow hair? Why? Ah Miao didn't know why Shi Biyu asked her to dye her hair.
"Because you Xianbei people have killed a lot of people in Koubian, the court is quite resentful of Xianbei people."
Ah Miao understood the reason after hearing this. As a girl from an ordinary Xianbei family, she was sold by her parents to the Shi family as a slave because of life, and Murong Diao's messing around the border was a matter for the Xianbei nobles, and it had nothing to do with her, but if her own people did such a thing, she would definitely be affected.
"Parents who give their body hair, every part of the body is given by their parents, and they can't be changed at will, and changing it is disrespectful to their parents, so I won't change my hair color because of the so-called lowly and noble."
"Well said, in the past, Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought, Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun was shot in the left eye by Lu Bu's generals, Xiahoudun pulled out the arrow with his eyes, and yelled 'Parents' blood, don't abandon it', after speaking, he actually ate the eyes on the arrow, and then stabbed the person who shot him blind to death."
"Childe said with a smile, I'm just an ordinary woman, how can I compare with that kind of heroic hero?"
"Xiahou Dun's arrow-pulling eyes and Guan Yunchang's bone scraping and poison treatment are both done by the first-class husband in heaven and earth, and of course ordinary people can't compare. And as an ordinary woman, it is really rare for you to be able to say such things. Don't worry, I won't force you to dye your hair. ”
"Childe, you were wrong, I decided to dye my hair black."
"Huh? Why? Shi Biyu and Ah Yan both looked at her in surprise.
"Because since my parents sold me to my son, then my body hair and skin are not my parents', but your son, and you can change it as much as your son wants. On the contrary, if my son is implicated because of me, the sin of the concubine will be unforgivable. ”
"Hehe, you've confused me, what the hell do you want?"
"Dye your hair!" Ah Miao had already decided, turned around and went out, and said to Ah Yan, "You accompany Gongzi, I'll go buy dye." ”
Seeing Ah Miao go out, Biyu hurriedly stood up: "Wait for me, I'm also bored, I haven't been to the night market for a long time, so I just went to relax." ”
Ah Yan looked at Ah Miao's back and said, "Obviously you just want to dye it, and you're still pretending to be high here." Although he said this, when he saw that Biyu also followed, he chased him out.
As the sun set, the three of them rode an ox cart and traveled west along the street in the direction of Xiyangmen. Although this street is not as wide and famous as the north-south Tongtuo Street, it is one of the most prosperous streets in Luoyang City. There are many shops and restaurants on both sides of the street, and it also leads to Luoyang City. This largest market in Luoyang City is also called West Market because it is in the west of Luoyang City.
The road is forty or fifty feet wide, divided into three parts: left, middle and right, the left and right sides are used by ordinary people to walk, and the middle part is used by wealthy nobles to walk on their horses. The Otto drove the ox cart on the stone road in the middle, the road was wide, straight and smooth, and the ox cart walked steadily, so the people on the cart did not feel any bumps. Shi De sat in the car, ordered Ah Miao and Ah Yan to lift the curtain of the car, and looked for the rouge gouache shop while watching the bustling street scene.
"There's one here." Ah Yan pointed to a store in front of her, "Our rouge is bought in this store." ”
"Well, you two go take a look and buy some back."
After Shi Biyu finished ordering, he waited in the car, and after a while, Ah Miao and Ah Yan came back, but they were empty-handed, so they asked: "Why didn't you buy it, it's not good?" ”
"It's not that the goods are bad, but that there are no goods at all, and they are all sold out."
"It's a coincidence, let's go to the next one."
But they went to several stores in a row, and the shopkeeper said that there was no stock.
"Strange thing." Biyu wondered. The three of them walked a little further, and found that there was a large shop on the north side of the road, with three big characters written on the door plaque, and a pair of big red lanterns in front of the door.
"I don't believe it, the huge Luoyang City can't even buy a little dye." Shi Biyu said, entered the store in person, and asked loudly, "Is there black plum juice?" ”
"Nope." There were a lot of customers in the store, and the shopkeeper and his buddy were greeting customers, without raising their heads.
"Are there any black beans?"
"No, not only are these two things gone, but nothing that has anything to do with black."
"Bastard." Shi Biyu is on fire, no matter how he says it, he is also a wealthy son, a court official, why is he so unpopular. He pointed to the guy who didn't even sweep his eyelids and scolded, "Do you still want to do business, do you look down on my son?" Believe it or not, I bought your store and smashed it? ”
"Believe in it." The shopkeeper heard the scolding, walked out from behind the counter, and gave a deep salute, "The eldest prince is angry, what do you want, just give the order." ”
Ah Miao was afraid of causing trouble, so she hurriedly smiled at the shopkeeper: "I'm sorry for you, get two bottles of black plum juice." ”
"Wait a minute." The shopkeeper agreed, took out two bottles of black plum juice from the inner room, and handed them to Ah Miao with both hands.
"Didn't your buddy just say no, why is there now? It's really a toast, don't eat and drink, don't scold you, don't say smash your store, you just look down on people. ”
The shopkeeper just bowed his head and was not angry. Ah Miao pulled Biyu, signaled him not to scold, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile: "Our young master is in a bad mood today, don't you mind, how much are these two bottles of black plum juice?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "The young master has his own family, how dare the villain ask for money." ”
Ah Yan smiled: "Yo, I said that your store is really strange, either you don't sell it to others, or you don't want money, what is the reason?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "Two bottles of black plum juice are nothing, this whole store belongs to the young master, you can take whatever you want." ”
"What?" Shi Biyu was confused, "Were you scared by me or scolded by me?" ”
"The villain is not confused, the young master may not know the villain, but the villain knows the young master. This shop is yours, Lord Ling Zun is my owner, and of course you are the young master. The shopkeeper brought the tea and continued to explain, "The young master may not know that the previous owner of this shop once borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from Lord Ling Zun because of the shortage of money, but when it expired, there was some accident and he couldn't return the money, so he gave this shop to your Shi family, and now this is your family's industry, I don't believe you go out and look at the words on the lantern." ”
