Chapter Thirty-Seven: Summer Worms Can't Be Separated from Ice
???
Two eyes looked at each other in an instant.
"You wrote that?"
Su Shidao was stunned.
Xia Jingyun nodded.
"Then why not sign it?"
"Master, I'm going to visit the Qinglou, can't I avoid it?"
???
The two masters said in unison, "Why do you want to avoid it? ”
Forget that you are proud to visit the green house...... Xia Jingyun said: "Anyway, I went last night, and I felt it, so I wrote this long and short sentence and gave it to the other party." ”
"Gao Yang, such a masterpiece was actually given to a woman in a green building, you ...... How can you squander your talents like this! ”
Su Shidao looked distressed.
Old Man Yun also nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, the two masters, I will definitely take more good poems in the future and ask the two masters to correct them first."
When the time comes, take a [Surabaya Prefecture to send Su Shidao to Ren Zhongjing] and [Parting gift to the teacher Yun Daoning], and you won't feel like a squander.
The two old men nodded and stroked their beards, satisfied.
That bit of false name is actually a pleasure, and what really satisfies them is the excellence of this disciple.
As the saying goes: The disciple is excellent, and the master has light; The disciple is lustful, and the master has ......
"Master, there was a letter from outside just now."
As the three of them were talking, the old slave who had been standing far away came over and respectfully handed a note to Old Man Yun.
Old Man Yun took it, and his face changed slightly.
Su Shidao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The county lieutenant Shi Youfang went out of the city to clear the bandits, was injured by a stray arrow, died of his injuries, and died."
After all, Su Shidao was a literati, and he was shocked when he heard this, "The trouble of the bandits, is it so much?" ”
Xia Jingyun was also very shocked, and then instinctively felt that something was wrong, should the bandits' combat effectiveness be so strong?
At the same time, I can't help but worry a little about my safety.
Now that the county lieutenant is dead, if no one in the county comes out to preside over the overall situation, will the bandits besiege the county seat?
He finally found a backer to redress his grievances, so that he could take the road of the imperial examination, but everything was ready, and he was beaten by the bandits?
Old Man Yun seemed to know their worries, "It's just that the county lieutenant and a few soldiers were injured, and the rest were safely evacuated." There is no need to worry about the safety of the county. ”
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Jingyun's original memory was indeed not clear about these family and country affairs, so they asked: "If today, is the bandit so serious?" ”
Old Man Yun shook his head, "In the whole world, it is naturally still Xianning from all over the world, but at the border pass dragged down by the border army, the life of the people is not good, and then there is a remote place like our Surabaya Prefecture, where the emperor is far away, and the exploitation of officials is flourishing, and the displaced people are gradually increasing." In recent years, banditry in Surabaya Prefecture has indeed become a problem. ”
Xia Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, and then remembered what his uncle said that day, now that Great Xia has been established for nearly three hundred years, isn't it really that troubled times are coming, and war is about to start?
Don't, I just want to take the imperial examination and become an official, and live a peaceful and beautiful life.
It's really in troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and I'm not a military leader, what's the use of copying two lines of poetry!
With a chaotic mind, Xia Jingyun said goodbye and left Yunfu.
Looking at Xia Jingyun's back, Su Shidao suddenly spoke: "Brother Kangle, look at this long and short sentence again." ”
Old Man Yun looked at it for a while, "What do you want me to see?" ”
"You taste, you taste."
Old Man Yun glared angrily.
Su Shidao hurriedly said: "Gao Yang, this kid, likes to be older than him. ”
Old Man Yun was stunned for a moment, looking at the poem, "Tsk, it's really true!" ”
Su Shidao twisted his beard, "Do the math, Gao Yang's child is also twenty years old, with his talent, the wife can wait for fate again, but a beautiful concubine can be accepted." ”
Old Man Yun glared, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, can he admit a Qinglou woman to enter the door?" ”
Su Shi glanced at him, "It is precisely to choose a good one for him, so as not to let him linger in the Qinglou!" Think about it, is there a suitable one around you? ”
"Me?" Old Man Yun frowned, "If you are older than him, you have to look good, no matter how you say it, you have to know some truths and understand some affairs, so that you can share his worries and solve problems......"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Shidao, and the two old foxes confirmed their eyes and thought of the right person.
-----------------
Xia Jingyun didn't know that the two masters had already found a way out for his waist, and he was not in a good mood at the moment.
I came to inquire about Zheng Tianyu and didn't find out about it, and I learned such a headache news, plus I took away the five hundred taels of silver that I put in my mother's place this morning in the name of urgency, and I have to think about how to explain it when I go back in a while.
Tell them that you ransomed a woman in a green house?
I don't have the money to seal my aunt's broken mouth now.
What's more, if the father and uncle, or even the eldest brother ask in private, what do you say?
I didn't sleep, so I ransomed it? How does it sound like a resentful seed!
Moreover, Yun Xian said it well at the time, he wouldn't turn his face and deny people, right?
With a lawsuit full of ideas, Xia Jingyun walked back to Nantian Lane.
Passing by the alley, a middle-aged man walked up quickly, "But Xia Jingyun and Xia Gongzi in person?" ”
Xia Jingyun looked at him vigilantly, "What are you looking for him?" ”
The middle-aged man seemed to be puzzled by where Xia Jingyun's vigilance came from, and reached out to touch his arms, but he didn't expect Xia Jingyun to run away.
"Xia Gongzi, Xia Gongzi, there is no malice in the next place!"
The man shouted while chasing him out, provoking many people in the alley to look over.
Xia Jingyun stood still from afar and said loudly: "Who are you?" ”
The man's face was entangled, he looked around, and had no choice but to raise his voice, "Young Master Xia, is it okay to take a step to speak?" ”
Xia Jingyun shook his head decisively, "Just say it here." ”
"Qiao Fu, the manager of Xia Yicui Building, was entrusted by the owner to find Mr. Xia."
The eyes of the people around him suddenly became meaningful.
Who doesn't know Yicui Lou, Pinjing Grotto, I didn't expect this Xia Jiaerlang to be so good, no wonder he is so thin!
The middle-aged man looked helplessly apologetic, Xia Jingyun also looked embarrassed, he really had some bows, snakes, shadows, plants and trees, it seemed that he really had to plan well for such a thing as finding a guard.
He walked over and pulled the steward aside, "What's the matter?" ”
The steward took out the silver ticket in his arms, "Childe's first song today grows and hates Shui Changdong, which makes my Yicui Building famous, and the owner is very grateful, even if Yunxian gives it to Childe, please accept this redemption fund." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the silver ticket, Xia Jingyun reached out and took it, raising his eyebrows, "Isn't it three hundred taels?" ”
The steward smiled, "The remaining two hundred taels are a little bit of caution from our host, and the son will come back at any time in the future, and the tea and wine money will be free." ”
The money for sinking the well is not avoidable, but sincerity is enough......
With Xia Jingyun's style of acting, it is naturally impossible to pretend to be forced to resign, and put the silver ticket in his pocket, "That is the case, but it is disrespectful in the future, thank you for your kindness, and the business is prosperous!" ”
The steward nodded again and again, "That Xia Gongzi, the little one has retired." ”
Looking at the back of the steward, Xia Jingyun touched his chest and sighed with emotion, I now believe in the book that those masters who don't spend money to visit the Qinglou.
With the five hundred taels of windfall, his mood instantly improved, and he walked back to his yard humming a little song.
In the courtyard, everyone is still as busy as yesterday, practicing martial arts, reading books, and embroidering flowers.
Seeing Xia Jingyun, everyone's faces changed, Xia Li came out of the kitchen and gave Xia Jingyun a look, but Xia Hengzhi sighed, "Gao Yang, follow me." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the hall and sat down at the dining table, which was also the most formal place in their courtyard.
Xia Yunfei whispered, "Be careful." ”
Xia Ning really looked at the second brother worriedly, Xia Zhang's hands were standing at the door, a little glamorous, but a little bit of a dog's leg villain.
The two men in charge sat at the table, and Xia Hengzhi said, "You asked your mother for five hundred taels of silver today?" ”
Xia Jingyun snorted.
Xia Hengzhi sighed, "It is said that you earned all this money, and we have no right to ask." But Gao Yang, you are still young, as a father, I am afraid that you think it is too easy to get money and go astray, you said that our family is only one thousand taels, one five hundred today, one five hundred tomorrow, how many times can you afford to spend? ”
Xia Mingxiong nodded in agreement, "Yes, we have seen those who have a lot of money before, who have spent a lot of money, and have been contaminated with gambling and prostitution, and their family wealth has been quickly wiped out." ”
Seeing his father and uncle teaching so earnestly and earnestly, Xia Jingyun couldn't bear to slap his face, swept his eyes, and saw his aunt at the door, "Auntie, what do you think?" ”
Xia Zhang's was just watching the play at the door, and he was not qualified to go in and interject, but he didn't expect to have his own role, so he hurriedly stepped in, "You, you're still too young, you don't know what your surname is if you make a little money, let's honestly study at home!" For the sake of this money, you have earned it, and your aunt will not care about you, so you will learn a little more next time. ”
That's right......
Xia Jingyun successfully fished and enforced the law, took out the silver ticket from his arms and slapped it on the table, "Aunt will also teach you a lesson next time!" ”
After speaking, he got up and said with a smile: "Aunt, remember to give all this silver to my mother!" ”
Xia Zhang stepped forward to take a look.
???!!!
She froze in place, not knowing whether to be angry or happy.
Xia Jingyun walked out of the hall and stretched, Xia Yun came over from the door quickly, with a strange expression, "Erlang, someone is looking for you." ”
Xia Jingyun looked puzzled, and when he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a pretty maid with a decent appearance standing outside the door accompanied by a guard.
When the other party saw him, he hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Young Master Xia." ”
Xia Jingyun returned the salute, "The girl and I don't know each other, right?" ”
The pretty maid hurriedly said: "Young Master Xia, the slave maid is the maid of the Ning Bing girl, and she was entrusted by the girl to invite the young man to the Green Bamboo Courtyard. ”
Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.
The pretty maid hurriedly added: "The girl said that tonight she refused to accept outsiders, and only received the son, and ...... I hope that Childe will stay overnight. ”
After speaking, she looked at Xia Jingyun confidently, very confident in her master's reputation, and believed that Xia Jingyun would not refuse such a condition.
Xia Jingyun sneered in his heart, this is a good time!
If I hadn't written that poem, would you have come?
But I wrote it, and you didn't know to come in person?
I also sent a maid to pass the word, I think it's a gift to me, right?
What do you think of me?
Poetry producer?
Squeeze not only my juice, but also my poems?
O haughty stupid woman!
The corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, "Miss Ning Bing is the Oiran of Zhongjing City, and there are countless people who are willing to kiss Fangze. But the following is not in this list, thank you for your kindness! ”
The pretty maid's face changed suddenly, and she blurted out, "My girl is outstanding, her figure is superb, and her skills have fascinated many people. ”
Xia Jingyun stopped.
The pretty maid breathed a sigh of relief, she was really from the countryside, and she didn't know how good her girl was, so she almost didn't complete the task.
Xia Jingyun turned around and looked at the still arrogant little maid in front of her, and her tone suddenly turned cold, "She is beautiful, so all men in the world have to lick her?" Do you want to be summoned by her to come and go immediately? I'm not going, it's as simple as that. ”
"Do you hold a grudge because of what happened last night? How can you be so stingy as a big husband! ”
Xia Jingyun sighed, "Please go back, if you really want to ask why." ”
Xia Jingyun paused and spit out six words, "Summer insects can't be compared to ice." ”
