Chapter 370: The Most Absurd Thing
Tan Xiaoxiao woke up early because she had not slept for almost all night. Although Su Gongzi promised that she would definitely have news of Jiang Feng today, she was still very worried.
Ling Baozhu looked at her haggard face, and wanted to comfort her, but when the words came to her mouth, there was only a long sigh.
Because only she can understand the little mood at this time.
On a bench made up of several tables, Tiger Head, Little Snot, and Little Sloppy are still asleep.
Tan Xiaoxiao didn't alarm them, and silently walked to the counter and began to clean up.
Ling Baozhu walked straight to the side of the long platform, suddenly slapped the tiger head on the buttocks, and shouted loudly: "The sun is shining on the buttocks, and I am still sleeping lazy, so I don't hurry up and clean up this place." ”
The tiger's head bounced up reflexively, his eyes hadn't opened yet, and his mouth had already blurted out: "I'll clean it up right away." ”
Ling Baozhu's voice also woke up Xiao Snot and Xiao Sloppy, they rubbed their eyes, sat up, and were about to jump off the long platform, when Little Snot suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother Jiang is back?" ”
Ling Baozhu and Tan Xiaoxiao were slightly stunned, and the tiger head had already turned his head to look at them.
"Mom, Brother Jiang is back?"
Ling Baoqiu smiled reluctantly: "I haven't come back yet, but it's too soon." Then she reprimanded the little snot fiercely: "I see that you have itchy skin, what is the ghost called when you wake up early in the morning?" ”
Little Snot pointed to the door aggrievedly: "If Brother Jiang didn't come back, why would his clothes be on the ground?" ”
A dark linen coat lay quietly in front of the door, and everyone recognized it at a glance, this was the same clothes that Jiang Feng was wearing before he disappeared.
Tan Xiaoxiao ran out from behind the counter like crazy, and then picked up the clothes on the ground with trembling hands.
While the others were wondering, a letter suddenly fell from the cuff of the dress and fell to the ground.
Su Shi was drinking porridge, although he was not picky about his diet, but when he looked at a bowl full of white porridge, and the meal was only served with some pickles, he had no appetite in an instant.
But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it, because there was nothing else for breakfast today except white porridge and pickles.
"The General's Mansion doesn't seem to be short of money now, why is there only white porridge and pickles in the morning?" Su Shi took a few sips, only to feel that there was no taste in his mouth, and couldn't help complaining.
Lin Mozheng was drinking with relish, and when he heard Childe complaining, he smiled and said, "Childe still remembers what happened last night?" ”
Speaking of last night, Su Shi felt that his head began to hurt again.
"I can't remember, I just remember that we drank a lot."
"It's Childe who drank a lot." Lin Mo corrected, "I only drank half a catty." ”
"And how much did I drink?" Su Shi rubbed his forehead vigorously, and then let out a long breath.
Even though Su Shi had already rinsed his mouth, Lin Mo could still smell the wine in his mouth.
"Not much, less than three catties."
"It's less than three pounds." Su Shi's eyes were almost straight when he heard this, and he muttered, "That's really not much." ”
But then he squinted at Lin Mo: "Why did I drink so much, but you only drank half a catty?" ”
Lin Mo sighed: "It seems that Childe has forgotten all about last night." ”
Su Shi glared at him: "I remember clearly that we drank together last night, but what I don't understand is why you drank so much less than me?" ”
"As soon as Gongzi and I finished drinking a pot of wine, Steward Wu sent someone to call me, and I went for half an hour, and when I came back, I saw Gongzi pouring himself a drink. Childe not only drank the remaining pot of wine, but also ordered his subordinates to bring two more pots of wine. ”
"If I hadn't come back early, Childe wouldn't have let go of the last pot of wine."
Su Shi finally had a vague impression, and then looked up at him curiously: "What is the matter with Steward Wu looking for you?" ”
"During this period of time, Childe always goes out early and returns late, and Steward Wu is worried that Childe will repeat his mistakes. I heard that Childe was drinking so late, and I was worried about whether Childe had something on his mind, so he called me for interrogation. ”
Then he added: "But I told Steward Wu that although I don't know what Childe is busy with, I know that Childe is doing the right thing now." ”
Su Shi barely drank a few mouthfuls of white porridge, but finally couldn't help but sigh: "Even if I was drunk last night, I shouldn't be punished with white porridge this morning." ”
"Steward Wu knew that his son was drunk and vomited a mess last night, so he specially ordered the kitchen to boil some white porridge to nourish his stomach."
Although Su Shi was very helpless, he vomited his stomach empty last night, and he was hungry at this time, so he had to drink the white porridge silently with pickles.
After drinking, I still felt dizzy and tired, so I wanted to go back to the bedroom and sleep again.
As soon as he stood up, Lin Mo immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Where is Childe going to go?" I went to prepare the carriage. ”
"I'll go back to sleep now." Su Shi sighed, "By the time you get the carriage ready, I'll already be in bed." ”
With that, he straightened his waist and walked out slowly. Lin Mo didn't say much, and followed behind Su Shi.
"I just want to go back to sleep, you don't need to follow me."
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "I have something to report to my son." ”
Su Shi's footsteps slowed down: "What's the matter?" ”
"Early this morning, Boss He of the Supreme Gambling House sent a post."
"What does the post say?"
"Tomorrow at noon, he will hold a banquet in Hongyan Tower to entertain his son."
Su Shi nodded: "No problem." ”
Lin Mo said again: "Lord Zuo also sent a post, and I invite my son to come over tonight." ”
Su Shi stopped, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I know." ”
However, as soon as they reached the atrium, a servant hurried to them.
Before Su Shi could speak, Lin Mo had already asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Someone outside the door is asking to see Childe."
"Who?"
"The drunken proprietress and her goddaughter."
Lin Mo said softly: "It's Bao Ma and Erya." ”
Su Shi slowly said to Lin Mo: "You take them to the study, and then make me a pot of strong tea, the stronger the better." ”
As soon as Su Shi walked into the study and sat down, Lin Mo had already hurriedly walked in with Ling Baozhu and Tan Xiaoxiao.
As soon as Tan Xiaoxiao saw Su, he immediately knelt down and said with a crying voice: "Childe save Brother Jiang." ”
After speaking, he was about to kowtow to Su Shi, although Su Shi was unwell and could not stop her from kneeling, but when Tan Xiaoxiao wanted to kowtow, he pulled her up in time.
"Calm down first, no matter what happens, there will be a solution."
Tan Xiaoxiao's originally frightened and flustered heart gradually settled down under Su Shi's gentle tone, but she still couldn't cry.
Su Shi had no choice but to look at Ling Baozhu.
Ling Baozhu settled down and said quickly: "Jiang Feng has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers sent a letter to ask for ransom early this morning. ”
Su Shi looked at them in a daze, as if he thought that his wine had not woken up, because all this sounded so absurd.
What made him feel absurd was not only that there were kidnappers in the capital, but also that these kidnappers would kidnap a penniless person.
