Chapter 62: Poor Qi Fat Man
A large mansion in the southeast corner of Kyoto occupies half of the long street, and one side of the wall is filled with hawkers.
The Zhu Door opened a crack, and Qi Sihai's bloated body squeezed out of the crack in the door.
He was dressed in a silver flying fish suit and squinted at the gentle sun, his hands lifted his round belly, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
A vendor selling fritters near the gate quipped, "Lord Qi, have you been taught a lesson by your aunt again?" ”
Qi Sihai walked down as usual, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the vendor stretching out his hand and said: "Lord Qi, this is not a small one that will not be sold to you, but it is really your aunt's special instruction not to let you eat oily things." ”
"No one dares to sell this whole street to you if it has been stained with oil."
Qi Sihai glared at a pair of dead fish eyes and retracted his hand, muttering as he walked forward: "Which of the edible ones on this street has not been oiled?" ”
Seeing his puffed up, the vendor who bought the fritters smiled and said, "Lord Qi, my aunt-in-law sent a pot of vegetarian dumplings in the morning, do you want to have some." ”
Qi Sihai's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I want ten!" ”
"Gree...... the vendor took out his food box and nodded, "There are only five left." ”
"Sell it all to me."
Qi Sihai took out a few scattered copper coins from his sleeve, put them on the table in distress, took the bun and swallowed one violently.
The surrounding vendors are all busy with their work and snickering non-stop.
Since Qi Zhaodi became the head of the house, they have been favored to set up a stall here, and they don't have to pay any silver.
The Qi family is very easy-going from Qi Zhaodi to the miscellaneous servants, and whoever has a problem will help one or two.
Such an act is naturally exchanged for the respect of these small traders and hawkers.
"Fat Man~"
Hearing the sound, Qi Sihai choked, and the bun in his mouth didn't have time to swallow, so he pulled his legs and left.
"Jinyi Weibei Town, Deputy Thousands of Households, Qi Sihai, listen to orders!"
Chu Yuan was dressed in a black silver thread embroidered flying crane straight robe, standing on the bluestone road and shouting.
Qi Sihai immediately turned around and knelt down on one knee, and the stuffing of the buns in his mouth flew wildly: "The lower official is here, what does Lord Qincha command." ”
Chu Yuan knocked on the folding fan with his hand, his clothes fluttering, and slowly walked towards him with small square steps.
He bent down slightly, hooked Qi Sihai's arm and pulled him up.
"See me running for what?"
"Xiaguan, no!"
Chu Yuan tilted his head and flashed the leek stuffing on his flying face, he hooked Qi Sihai's shoulders and squinted and smiled: "Let's talk? ”
"My lord, the lower officials still have important errands to do, and they can't be delayed for a moment."
Chu Yuan's mouth opened slightly, nodded his head, took out a palm-length golden arrow from his waist, and shook it in front of his eyes.
The wrinkles in the corners of Qi Sihai's eyes jumped, and he pursed his lips and begged for mercy: "My lord, just spare me, I really don't know anything about the day before yesterday." ”
"Oh~ the sin of resisting the decree, don't you need me to talk about it?"
Qi Sihai was about to kneel for Chu Yuan, but he was tightly hooked by his shoulders, and he couldn't even bend his legs.
"My lord, let's tell you the truth, my aunt won't let me ......"
Hearing this, Chu Yuan immediately interrupted: "Oh, look at my head, it's all at the gate of the Qi Mansion, how can you make it if you don't go in to see the talented woman who is the best in Beijing?" ”
After that, Chu Yuan raised his feet and was about to rush to the gate, but he didn't expect Qi Sihai's bloated figure to rush faster than him.
When he jumped up the nine steps and opened his arms, his face turned red and looked down, only to see Chu Yuan with his hands on his chest, and his starry eyes flashed with evil brilliance under his sword eyebrows.
Qi Sihai gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, trotted down and asked, "My lord, the lower official has figured it out, please." ”
Chu Yuan deliberately teased him and said, "Ben Qincha doesn't want to talk to you now, I want to talk to your aunt, and take Qincha into the mansion for a walk." ”
"My lord, I, my aunt is not feeling well, I am afraid I will not be able to see guests."
Seeing a layer of hot sweat on his forehead, Chu Yuan hooked his hand on his shoulder again, shook off the folding fan and fanned him and said, "Are the buns delicious?" ”
He looked at the bun in his hand and seemed to have made a great struggle, and finally handed it to Chu Yuan and said with a stiff smile: "My lord, do you want one?" ”
"I love meat, not vegetarian, how about chatting while eating?"
The light radiating from Qi Sihai's eyes startled Chu Yuan, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "Do you want to smell the wine?" ”
"Cheng, you pick a place, I'll pay for it."
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment."
Qi Sihai ran all the way to the vendor stall that fried fritters just now, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't tell my aunt, otherwise I will tell your daughter-in-law about your trip to Fireworks Alley." ”
"Hey~ My lord, you don't eat this bun, right?"
Qi Sihai ate the remaining two buns in front of the hawker.
The vendor pouted in disgust.
Chu Yuan held his forehead and couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the back of his neck and left.
Half an hour later, in the exquisitely furnished private room on the second floor with the fragrance of wine, Chu Yuan twisted the wine glass in his hand and looked at Qi Sihai's chicken leg holding a lotus leaf chicken in his left hand, and the chopsticks in his right hand did not stop.
Outside the round hollow carved Xuan window is a beautiful moat.
In the private room, the delicate fingers of the musician caress the lute, and the melodious sound makes people feel comfortable.
Chu Yuan picked up the jade pot and poured wine, and said straight to the point: "Xi Feng's father was the general of Tianwei Mansion back then, and your Qi family seems to have a good friendship with Tianwei Mansion, right?" ”
"My lord, I want to get on the line with General Jing, my son and I are iron buddies, wait for the lower official to introduce you."
"Hey, why are you so happy, you fat man, you can buy you with one meal?"
Qi Sihai spit out the bones in his mouth, but he directly picked up the whole chicken and gnawed it.
"My aunt only gives me one or two pieces of silver every month, just so that I can go back to my house to eat, and every day, I want to go down to the restaurant to eat some meat."
Chu Yuan pushed the clear water lamb chops in front of him in front of him.
"The Qi family was also a marquis back then, although it was not hereditary, but it can't be constrained to this extent, right?"
Qi Sihai sighed and said: "My aunt is very diligent and thrifty, and most of them only eat fasting, as for how much money she has, I really don't know." ”
"Then you don't have any friends to invite you to the restaurant?"
"No, the last time I was invited to the restaurant, it seems to have been the year before last."
"At that time, my aunt knew about it and went to his house to find it in person, but he was told by my aunt that he didn't come to Yamen for a whole month, and then he was simply transferred to Dali Temple."
"After that, no one will dare to eat with me."
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth twitched: "Then you are indeed quite miserable, no, why did you eat so calmly this time, not afraid that your aunt will find out and go back to train you?" ”
Qi Sihai started work with a lamb chop in one hand: "Don't be afraid, I said that I was blocked at the gate by you, and you threatened me with Jinbi arrows, so I had to come with you." ”
"Hey~" Chu Yuan slapped the table, and Qi Sihai shook his hand, "You are really a genius." ”
"If I want to go to the restaurant in the future, I will let me know, as long as I am outside the palace, we will eat wherever I want."
"Really?"
Chu Yuan patted his chest, accidentally made a big effort, coughed and said: "I, Chu Yuan, have a word, as long as you help me and the prince of Tianwei Mansion get on the line, it is easy to say." ”
