Chapter 84: Two Bamboo Slips (2)

Shu Yan smiled but didn't answer, Xiao Mo said: "Who else is it not him?" Ye Yan saw that it was clear, and immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Shu Yan, and bent his knees to bow, but Shu Yan hurriedly stopped him and asked him to sit back.

Ye Qing said gratefully: "Today I received a letter from my family. The letter said that a few days ago, when the family was running out of money, suddenly a young man who claimed to be from Luoyang, rode a jujube red horse, and sent a lot of money to the family, but he did not leave his name, only said that he was helping Brother Ye take it home by the way, put down the money and left. I thought about it for a long time: I was still nervous about my own use in Luoyang, and I had never asked anyone to send money home. I don't know any young sons in Luoyang. But when I think of jujube red horses, I think of you. I thought about it carefully, the days when you took leave coincided with the date of sending money to my family, who else were you? Sending money to a person who is not related to him for thousands of miles, leaving no name, and being willing to risk being punished by his boss, who else will do this kind of thing except you, Brother Shu? ”

Shu Yan smiled faintly when he heard this: "It's not as serious as you said, I just think it's a pity if you give up like this." I have relieved your worries, so that you can wait here with peace of mind for the arrangement of the officials. ”

Ye Yan knew that Shu Yan was helping himself sincerely, and he didn't need to say too many polite words, he just said: "A good benevolent person is unacceptable." ”

It was late, Ye Qing sat for a while and then went back. After he returned, he passed the matter on to others as a beautiful conversation, and contacted the "Book of Music", saying that the long-lost "Book of Music" was obtained by Shu Yan, which was the creation he deserved for advocating benevolence.

In this way, the people in the Shangshutai Mansion knew that Shu Yan sent money to Ye Jianqian, as well as the treasure book "The Book of Music", and learned to play the flute from Xiao Mo.

It was a hot and humid day, and the dampness inside the house was very heavy. The weather was good on this day, Shu Yan instructed Xiao Mo before he went on duty, take the two volumes of "The Book of Music" outside to bask in the sun, be careful about the weather, and remember to put it away if it rains.

Xiao Mo took the two rolls of bamboo slips outside the windowsill and spread them out to dry. The whole day was blazing with blazing sun, and there was not the slightest dark cloud. The cicadas in the trees outside hissed and chirped. Before Shu Yan came back, Xiao Mo had already prepared the rice: a plate of fresh side dishes with leeks, and a pot of light steamed egg custard, which were placed in the pot and not taken out. The weather is too hot, even if you don't do anything, sweat will automatically come out, not to mention that Xiao Mo has been busy in the kitchen for a long time. She was wearing a lot of clothes, and her chest and back were already soaked with sweat. She found a bathtub, put it in her house, and scooped cold water directly from the water tank outside, although it was cold water, but it was basked in the sun for most of the day, but it was better to say that it was lukewarm. This water is just right for bathing, and you don't need to boil hot water at all.

knew that it was still early for Shu Yan to come back, but Xiao Mo still closed the door. has been with Shu Yan for so long, and he didn't let him see that he was a daughter at all, it was all covered up by himself: first, his own personality, he was very arrogant, not quiet and dignified at all, like a man; second, he has an alien ancestry, and compared with the small face of a Chinese woman, the facial contours such as eyebrows, eyes, and nose are relatively distinct; The third is that she covers up well, she wraps her breasts tightly with a red silk silk, and never falls into flaws in front of outsiders, which also makes her suffer a lot, especially in summer. The butterfly robe she wore sealed the neckline tightly, but fortunately, the fabric of the robe was made of very light, breathable and good Shu brocade. She unbuttoned her robe, and peeled the red silk silk around her chest. The two things on the chest are the most difficult to hide, but the two of them are so well developed, white and big, which makes Xiao Mo have to be ruthless and wrap them around a few more times. In such a hot weather, and being wrapped so tightly, the two of them have been soaked in sweat for a long time, and they are uncomfortable, and at the moment when the silk is peeled off, they can't wait to jump out and relax.

Xiao Mo stepped into the bathtub and washed off the sweat stains on his body with warm water, which was very refreshing. After taking a bath, I lay down in the tub and enjoyed myself. Suddenly, she heard the door of the outer room be pushed open, and someone walked in, stayed outside her door for a moment, and then heard the sound of something turning over.

Hey? Why did Brother Shu come back so early today? She thought, I finished the meal, and the two rolls of broken bamboo were also dried for him, did he want to praise me? She got dressed while thinking about it, gently pushed the door out, and saw that the man was also wearing a yellow five-o'clock court dress, and shouted without waiting for it to be clear: Brother Shu, you came back so early.

This gentle sentence scared the man a lot. "Ahh How are you, you weirdo, here? ”

Xiao Mo saw that this person was not Shu Yan at all, but another person of the same age as himself - Shi Biyu. "Ah, this was originally my room, you trespassed into someone else's room, I haven't asked you yet, you should ask me first!"

"Isn't this Shu Yan's room? What's in your room? ”

"This is the room I share with Brother Shu, one room per person."

Shi Biyu immediately stood up: "What a Shu Yan, a dignified Shangshutai Mansion, he dares to leave a commoner to live here, and he is also a foreigner Qiang, see if I don't sue him." ”

Xiao Mo sneered: "Hmph, are you going to sue?" Not only do I live here, but we also eat together, how about it, anyway, I have already obtained permission from the party hall to live here, and it is not about Brother Shu. You sue casually, but you sneakily stole into someone else's room, so let's go to the official together to reason. ”

When Biyu heard this, he immediately softened, this kind of thing is not very good, he said with a grin: "I'm not here to steal your things, how can you have anything valuable to steal?" Having said this, he peeked into the back room again, smiled mysteriously at Xiao Mo and asked, "Do you have the Book of Music?" ”

"What? …… Month...... Menstruation? This scared Xiao Mo - does he know that I am a woman? Could it be that he forgot to collect his menstrual cloth and was seen by him? That's not right.,I hid it after washing.。 However, she was still a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly closed her inner door, and reprimanded: "What are you looking inside? ”

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to see the ...... of the Book of Music"

Before the words fell, suddenly a scorching thunder sounded, and the huge raindrops brushed the ground, and the summer rain was like a child's face, and it changed when it was said.

"It's broken. The two rolls of broken bamboo are still hanging outside. Xiao Mo rushed out with an arrow and snatched the two rolls of bamboo slips in.

Although Biyu has never seen the "Book of Music", as soon as he saw these two bamboo slips, he was sure. Because in the Jin Dynasty, paper has been popularized, no one uses bamboo slips to write, and the bulky bamboo slips must be at the level of cultural relics. "This is it."

"That's it." Xiao Mo's hanging heart also let go. It turned out that the guy was talking about this 'Le Jing', not his 'menstruation'.

Why did Shi Biyu come to the "Book of Music"? It turned out that Shu Yan had the "Book of Music" in his hand, not only spread throughout Shangshutai, but even most of the people in the other government offices in the court also knew about it, and of course it also reached Shi Biyu's ears. This time, Shi Biyu came to the spirit, because a few days ago, when his father blamed him for not doing anything, he also talked about the "Book of Music". Unexpectedly, this treasure book really exists. He thought: As a secretary, if I can get this treasure book, it will be a great achievement for the secretary's cabinet and even the imperial court. He inquired about Shu Yan's residence and knew that Shu Yan was on duty today, and there must be no one at home, so he secretly ran to steal books. What he didn't expect was that there was someone in Shu Yan's room, and it turned out to be Xiao Mo, a strange person.

Of course, Xiao Mo would not give him the "Book of Music", so he said: "Isn't stealing a book a steal?" All those who take advantage of people's unpreparedness and take other people's things are considered stealing, not to mention that this is my treasure of Brother Shu. ”

"If I don't take it, I should be able to take a look, right?"

"Of course—" Xiao Mo handed the bamboo slip forward, quickly retracted it, and smiled slyly, "No." ”

Biyu knows that Xiao Mo is difficult, and he can't take advantage of it, so it's better to wait until Shu Yan comes back, no matter how he says, they also grew up together, maybe they still have a little face. Anyway, it was raining outside at this time, so I was in no hurry to go back. Xiao Mo didn't invite him to sit, only glared at him angrily, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. He looked around and found that there were leeks on the table, steamed egg custard in the stove, and a small pot of yellow rice, and he couldn't help but wonder, "This is all your food?" ”

"So what?"

"It's as simple as this for every meal, just these two plates? And it's so light? ”

You think everyone is a wealthy family. Xiao Mo laughed angrily, and asked rhetorically, "How many dishes does Master Shi eat every day?" ”

"Well, sometimes I eat by myself, sometimes I eat with my parents. If I eat with my parents, I usually have more than 20 dishes per meal, and I eat more than a dozen dishes myself. If it doesn't suit my appetite, I'll have to cook it in the kitchen. None of the things you eat are as good as my slaves and maids. ”

Xiao Mo listened to Biyu's words, although she didn't like it, but she knew that this was the consistent virtue of the second generation of Hao, and it was not easy to deal with him, so she only picked up a plate with leeks and turned around from under Biyu's nose, and said, "Although you eat one or twenty dishes per meal, are you sure that your chef can make such a taste?" ”

"Isn't it just a leek, what's ......" Biyu had just said half of his words, and suddenly felt a fresh fragrance, and wondered, "Hey, why are you so fragrant with leeks?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled: "Ordinary people only know that the stems and leaves of leeks are used when making leeks, but they don't know that this season, leeks have grown leek flowers, and leek flowers have a fragrance compared to the stems and leaves of leeks." When making leeks, put some leek flowers and pound them in, the taste will be very different, and the focus of leeks is pounding rather than cutting, the taste of pounding out is very different from the taste of cutting out, after pounding, put salt again, and then pour some sesame oil, hehe, guess how it tastes? ”

Although the fragrance of leeks was tempting, Biyu twisted his head to the side and said, "No, no matter how good the things from the cold door are, I can't eat them, otherwise it will humiliate my family's identity." ”

Xiao Mo threw the plate on the table and said angrily: "You think beautifully, who said to eat it for you?" This is for Brother Shu and the two of us. ”

Biyu suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, I have long heard that there is a divine chef in Shangshutai, it can't be you, right?" ”
