Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 157 The Autumn Atmosphere is Unpleasant [I]

Suluo City is the largest city in the northern part of Dawei except for the Imperial City, but it is far more famous than the Imperial City.

Because there is the mansion of the richest man in the city, the Simon family. There is also the most prestigious martial arts family in the northern rivers and lakes of Dawei today, the Zhao family.

These two families are like the pillars of Suluocheng, firmly holding up the vicissitudes of this old city, but they are still fresh and constantly spreading their leaves.

It was the fifth day since Zhao Rang returned from the Western Regions.

Along the way, the cars and horses were tiring, and everyone was still exhausted from martial arts cultivation.

The people who returned broke up in Yangguan, and Yuan Mingkong took his sister straight to the imperial city.

Ye Sanniang returned to her inn in Yangguan, and after walking for so long, those young men must not have paid attention to business, and maybe drank all the fine wines she treasured!

In the end, only Simon Dazhuang was on the same road.

It's a pity that before Ximen Dazhuang entered the city, he was recognized by the family members at the city gate, and immediately shouted again and again, attracting a bunch of people, and surrounded him on the inside and outside of the three layers, for fear that the only seedling of the Ximen family would disappear again.

Ignoring Ximen's big car shouting "Let Brother save me", Zhao Rang smiled, pulled the reins tightly, turned the horse's head, and walked in the direction of his home.

After coming out for so long and walking so far, Zhao Rang didn't have any sense of homesickness, but he was a little tired of the road under his feet.

Sure enough, no matter how delicious the wine is, there is a time when it runs out. No matter how far a person goes, he will eventually go home.

But thinking about the thrill of this journey, Zhao Rang is not tired. I just want to hurry home and brag about my old man and the uncles and elders in the clan.

Anyway, I went to the Western Regions and did a big thing. What's the point of hiding and tucking in? Young people don't brag, so are they still called young people?

It's a pity that when he entered the house, he found that there were only a few old servants left in the family, as well as a few clan elders who were old, had difficulty moving, and even had a little confused brains.

The other capable guards, as well as the clever men of his own generation and his father's generation, were taken by his father to the southernmost part of the northern border, at the crossing of the Taishang River, to buy gifts for the August Festival.

The August Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, has always been grand in Dawei, no less than the New Year.

Although the Zhao family is a family of rivers and lakes, they also have business friends and relationships in the temple. During the New Year's holidays, these connections have to visit and exchange courtesies and maintain each other.

Last year, Zhao Rang went to his father once before he went out.

Gift-giving is such a science, and the emphasis is too great.

His father told Zhao Rang all the way, and Zhao Rang yawned all the way. Now that I think about it, I remember that rare things are expensive. If you want to send it, send it to what is not available in the north, or what is difficult to find.

Putting this aside, Zhao Rang can brag about the object, but there is no one left at home...... This feeling of punching the cotton with all his might made him extremely unhappy. In addition, after Simon Dazhuang returned home, there was no news, and he seemed to be locked up, which made him even more bored, and he simply slept happily for three days.

Originally, he could sleep on the fourth day, but dimly felt that he was crowded in front of his bed.

After staying in the Western Regions for a long time, it is rare to see so many people revolving around him.

If there is, it must be an enemy who wants his own life.

Zhao Rang didn't say a word, and immediately drew his knife!

As soon as the black sword light rose, I heard a little girl pear blossom with rain shouting:

"The young master is awake!"

Zhao Rang's spirit was pulled back from the bloody Western Regions, and he remembered that he had returned to the north, returned to Suluo City, and was at home.

So he hurriedly picked up the tip of the knife and dissipated his strength, so as not to hurt the innocent.

put down the knife and looked closely, and found that almost all the remaining servants and maids in the family were standing in front of their beds, and the rest of the nursing homes and others couldn't squeeze in, so they could only slip out along the threshold.

The maidservant who spoke was called Yu Xi, three years younger than Zhao Rang, and had been at home for more than ten years. Because of their similar age, Zhao Rang and her are a little more familiar than others. In addition, Yu Xisheng is cute, as long as Zhao Rang doesn't go far, he loves to take her with him. m.

"Young master, you're awake!"

Yu Xi didn't care at all about the knife that Zhao Rang had just pulled out, and his eyes turned red again as he spoke.

Zhao Rang waved his hand again and again and asked:

"What's going on at home?"

Yu Xi shook her head and said:

"It's not that the young master hasn't gone out for three days, everyone thinks it...... Thought it was ......"

Yu Xi pursed the corners of her mouth and said it two or three times without saying it.

Zhao Rang smiled and put the pillow behind his waist, sat up a little, and said:

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired from the journey."

Yu Xi nodded fiercely, and at the same time glared at an old servant next to him, and said:

"I'll just say that the young master is fine! You have to break in and disturb the young master's rest. ”

Zhao Rang sighed, feeling that his mouth was very dry, so he asked Yuxi to pour him a cup of tea, and asked by the way:

"How long did I sleep?"

Yu Xi thought for a while and said:

"The young master came back in the afternoon three days ago, and it is now the third day, close to noon. The counting days are three days, but in fact it is two and a half days. ”

Zhao Rang nodded after hearing this, thinking that he hadn't slept for too long, why did these people make a fuss......

I only heard Yu Xi continue:

"It's not that young master, you couldn't stay at home at all in the past? It's always dark and hasn't come back, and it's dawn and I haven't woken up yet. This time, I didn't go out for three days in the house, and everyone was afraid that something would happen. ”

Zhao Rang asked rhetorically:

"Are you afraid?"

"Of course I'm not afraid ......"

What Yu Xi said was very unconfident.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Rang saw the crowd coming from outside the house, spreading out to both sides like a tide, making way for a wide road.

"Brother Jean!"

"Brother Jean!!"

"Brother Jean, I'm here to save you!!"

Simon Dazhuang shouted as he walked, and his voice shook the sky.

Seeing this familiar figure, Zhao Rang scolded with a smile:

"Help me? Didn't I save you in the end? ”

Simon Da Zhuang said puzzledly:

"Yu Xi cried all the way to my house and knocked on the door, saying that you are unconscious, I'm afraid you will die! And then there was no one in charge at home, so they could only come to me! ”

Zhao Rang glanced at Yu Xi after hearing this.

This little girl was still hard-mouthed just now, but she didn't expect to be the most uncontrollable one.

Seeing that her lies had been exposed, Yu Xi immediately lowered her head and only looked at her toes. A face that is red to the tips of the ears and the back of the neck!

Zhao Rang smiled, didn't say anything to ridicule Yu Xi, turned his head and said to Ximen Dazhuang:

"yes, how can I save you if that's not the case?"

Simon Dazhuang's face was full of confusion, and his eyes were about to overflow.

"You think, you were taken away as soon as you entered the city. This time, you ran out for so long, I guess even the grandmother who spoiled you the most must be angry, and she had to lock you in the house. If it weren't for that, would you be able to get out of the house? ”

The more Ximen Dazhuang listened, the happier he became, and when Zhao Rang finished speaking, he couldn't help but say:

"Haha, Brother Jean, you're amazing! My old man and grandmother didn't see it at all, and let me bring Lang Zhong from the family, took the supplement, and said to come over and see what the situation was! ”

Zhao Rang smiled without saying a word, and spread his hands.

But Simon Dazhuang said:

"But they told me to show you that I would go back when I got sick......

"When did you become so honest?"

Zhao Rang said disdainfully.

è„żé—šć€§é›„ says:

"Brother Jean, like you said, my grandma is angry this time! No one in my family could help me. ”

Zhao Rang gave Ximen Dazhuang a vague gesture and told him not to worry. Then he asked Yu Xi to withdraw with a group of servants and maids, and then said to Ximen Da Zhuang who hated iron and steel:

"You're stupid! Have you ever heard a sentence that calls illness like a mountain, and illness like a thread? ”

Ximen Dazhuang nodded and said:

"Heard! My grandmother used to say. ”

Zhao Rang continued:

"Wouldn't that be good! They told you to wait for me to get sick and then go back, is it so easy for people to get sick? You know, you have to come little by little. ”

Simon Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter:

"Brother Jean is right! Hahahaha, that's right, that's it! ”

Then he let the Lang Zhong, who had just retreated to the door with the servants and maids of the Zhao family, come in, and said solemnly:

"I made my brother very sick. Without ten days and half a month, I'm afraid it won't get better. ”

An old Lang Zhong looked at Zhao Rang's face, frowned and said:

'Big young master, looking at Zhao Gongzi's light and healthy expression, he should be a little tired from a bumpy road. I'm not seriously ill! ”

Simon Dazhuang gasped, thinking to himself why this person was so unreasonable. Just as he was about to overwhelm people with power, another younger Lang Zhongden understood the deep meaning of his words and said:

"That's what the eldest young master said! Zhao Gongzi seems to have an internal illness and a secret injury. This kind of problem can't be seen just by looking at it, and it must be well recuperated! ”

Simon Dazhuang grinned:

"That's right, just do as you say, let me let my brother take care of it! During this time, I lived with you all in the Zhao family. ”

Zhao Rang echoed in time:

"Okay, I'll let Yu Xi arrange a room for you in a while."

The wood has been completed, but the older Lang Zhong also understands that seeing a doctor is fake, and it is true that these two young masters want to get together.

Anyway, the work is sent by the old man, or the eldest young master said. Living in Zhao's house must be good to eat and drink, just happy and leisurely, so it should be a holiday.

Out of the door, Zhao Rang stretched. The body, which had not been active for a long time, quickly became flexible. I've slept for so long, and my spirit is very good.

The fly in the ointment is that it is a bit cloudy today, and I am afraid that it will rain in a while.

After autumn, there is an autumn rain and a cold.

Zhao Rang is not afraid of the cold, but he doesn't like the rain very much.

When it rains, everywhere is mushy, the heavens and the earth are chaotic, and there will be a lack of interest in doing anything.

While it was not raining now, Simon Dazhuang came again, and he felt that he should go to the city for a walk.

Neither of them has ever been regular people, but they are the places they go to the most.

Luoyue Tower in Suluo City is one of them.

The food here is the most suitable for Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang's appetite.

What's more, Luoyue Tower is not the property of the Ximen family, and it has nothing to do with the Zhao family. This time-honored brand, which existed in the previous dynasty, has been passed down for six generations after a hundred years, and it feels legendary when you think about it.

Zhao Rang has always admired the ability to do one thing for a long time and pass it on from generation to generation. Luoyue Tower is one of them.

"It's almost noon, have you eaten?"

Ximen Dazhuang replied:

"I've eaten it."

Zhao Rang gave him an incredulous look, according to his previous habits, he only got up at most at this time.

As soon as he saw Zhao Rang's eyes, Ximen Dazhuang began to complain:

"Brother Jean, my life these days is really not human! I had to go to bed as soon as it was dark, I had to get up as soon as it was dawn, and I ate three meals a day with my grandmother, and I didn't fall behind...... I haven't even drunk a sip of wine! ”

Zhao Rang sighed twice and comforted:

"Okay, the hard life you think is something that people can't think of!"

This is all preaching.

It's impossible to say that others are okay, but it is impossible to let yourself do the same.

Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang are like the wind.

The wind has no direction, and it doesn't want a destination.

Even if I feel homesick occasionally, I just go back to make a circle, and then I have to blow it elsewhere.

Walking on the wide street in Suluo City, Zhao Rang looked around happily.

Back in a familiar place, it still feels different.

At this moment, Zhao Rang didn't want to be the "wind" anymore, and felt that it was good to be at ease in Suluo City.

God is very cooperative with Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang, the two wanderers who have returned from afar. After the two of them stepped into the long street, the clouds above their heads gradually dissipated, and it was not long before the sky cleared.

"Go to Luoyue Tower to have a bite?"

Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang said in unison, and then laughed and walked in the direction of Luoyue Tower.

Originally, the two of them were walking quietly on the road, and they hadn't attracted much attention.

With this smile, more people looked at them.

One is fat and one is thin, one is tall and one is short.

One person's fist is fleshy, like a gold ingot.

One person has distinct muscles and bones, and a sword at his waist.

If it's not the two eldest young masters of the Ximen family and the Zhao family, who else can it be?

The people of the entire northern territory of Dawei know these two families, and the people of the entire Luoyue City all know that the young masters of these two families are "fox friends and dog friends" who walk together all day long.

There were still many people at the gate of the Heavenly City before the Great Yesterday who saw these two coming back. But for three days, there was no movement in the city, and everyone didn't find fun, so naturally there was no talk to talk about, so it just passed, and no one cared.

But the two of them were giggling on the long street just now, some said that they were going to Luoyue Tower, and the people around them knew that these two were really back!

Immediately one to ten, ten to hundred.

The news that Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang were going to Luoyuelou was faster than the legs and feet that grew on their own bodies, and it had already reached the ears of the shopkeeper of Luoyuelou.

At the same time, several other places where Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang often went also got the news.

When Zhao let them walk to the street in front of Luoyue Tower, the entire place to eat, drink and have fun in Suluo City was fully prepared for these two people.

In the fireworks land where the lights should have been opened, the old bustard actually called the girls up early to freshen up and dress up, and made them all change into new clothes.

The sleepy-eyed girl yawned and complained:

"Mom, how could a young master of such a big family fall in love with a small shop like ours!"

The old bustard's eyes squinted, his mouth pouted, and he slapped the powder on his face for the third time, and said:

"Hey, hey! Girl, you don't understand...... I've heard that these two have just returned from the Western Regions where birds don't. Maybe it's like eating something fresh and changing the taste? ”

"Hurry up and prepare, listen to Mom!"
