Chapter Thirty-Seven: Interesting Stories of Travel
"I've seen stingy, but I've never seen you so stingy. Xue Yang shouted, "I made up this deal for you, right? If you don't give me a share, it's just that, and you also took 500 gold from me as a guarantee! Now that we are not a group on the way, why didn't you say it when you called for us to push the cart on the road?"
Chi Tang pulled Xue Yang: "Senior brother, let's open another room." ”
"It's not this, this has to be clear, look at her smugness, this doesn't bully people. In front of Feng Yingxiu's somewhat playful smile, Xue Yang said indignantly.
Juan'er was very reluctant to go: "Ah, my mother-in-law and I can stay in the grass pile outside for a night, Xue Yingying, you live in this room." ”
"How does this work?"
"Well, this guy doesn't know how to tease. Feng Yingxiu spread her hands with a smile before Xue Yang almost screamed, "This girl walks the rivers and lakes, one is one, two is two, do you really think that this girl doesn't remember the credit of your cart along the way? I have already arranged it for you, your room is opposite, is there a difference between men and women? I have already told the shopkeeper, you too, do you really joke? There is no manhood at all!"
Xue Yang grinned, and said a few words, but his mind turned a few times, and he didn't come up with a word to ridicule each other, he wanted to laugh, he didn't have this mood, he wanted to cry, and he didn't think it was a taste, but Chi Tang smiled secretly and dragged Xue Yang away: "It's done, sixth junior brother, others are joking with you, the shopkeeper there beckoned us over, don't be here, let the white girls hurry into the room to rest." ”
"Oh, yes. Feng Yingxiu suddenly shouted to the shopkeeper: "The food in the three rooms is counted in one place, and it is sent to my room, and we will eat at the same table at night." He smiled and said to Xue Yang: "Tonight, this girl is invited, not only to thank you for giving me this deal, but also to reward you for the hardships of pushing the cart in the past few days, don't say that this girl is unkind." ”
Xue Yang immediately understood Feng Yingxiu's intentions, three rooms and meals in one place, this is the most cost-effective, and he is not afraid of waste, he is a careful person, the tone in the meantime is still very clear, and he looked at Feng Yingxiu fiercely at the moment, and said secretly in his heart: "Eat poor at night!"
The meals at the inn are deliberately prepared, and they are still very hearty. At dinner time, Xue Yang couldn't wait to sit in Feng Yingxiu's room, looking at the chickens, ducks and fish on the table, his index finger moved, and deliberately asked: "Miss Feng, what should I do if these drinks and dishes are not enough to eat?"
"What are you afraid of? just tell the store to do it, this girl is a treat, take care of it!" Feng Yingxiu didn't care, at this moment she had obviously bathed in the guest room, there was a smell of fragrant pancreas in the room, her hair was also a little wet, spread out and let the evening breeze drift in outside the window to dry, the gray cloak that had never left her body in the past also took off, and changed into a simple coarse cloth long skirt, which was even more beautiful.
Xue Yang didn't care about Feng Yingxiu's current outfit and appearance, and secretly snickered after hearing Feng Yingxiu's answer: "What you want is your sentence to be well-managed, I'll let you see today, the disciples of the Qianjia family are distinguished by others by no means just the art of subduing demons." ”
Chi Tang knew that Xue Yang was at the dinner table with a strong combat power, and glanced at Feng Yingxiu, who was unconscious, but she was curious about what her expression would be if she found Xue Yang's gobbling at the dinner table.
This sixth junior brother has always been calm and wise, but in front of this woman with the power to control the beast, he is like an uncontrollable child, remembering that he is also like this in front of the yellow dog without food who is full of dirty words, which shows that in fact, he actually surrendered to this woman at first sight.
Thinking about this section, Chi Tang looked at Xue Yang and smiled meaningfully.
The wine and food have been prepared, the diners have not yet arrived, and Juan'er and the old woman have not yet arrived, so although Xue Yang is already gearing up and wants to be heroic, now he can only wait in a hurry. ...,
The footsteps sounded softly, and a gust of fragrant wind came in, and when Na Juan'er arrived, when the door opened, a woman in an embroidered skirt walked in with the old woman.
When Chi Tang raised his eyes, he only felt that his eyes were bright, the woman's skin was snow-white, her eyebrows were picturesque, although she had not applied fat powder, she had already shown the beautiful appearance of a sinking fish and a goose.
"Juan'er is late, don't blame you. The woman smiled when she saw Chi Tang and Xue Yang's slightly stunned expressions.
Several people present were shocked, and when Juan'er reported herself, Chi Tang had also heard that she was a beautiful woman, but she didn't care too much. And in the past few days, Juan'er's description has not changed, unkempt and covered her face, until she entered this inn, she had the opportunity to wash away the dirt and restore the old style, but she didn't expect that she was so bright and moving.
Juan'er also seemed to be a little shy by the stunned eyes of the two men, lowered her head, helped the old woman to sit down in front of the table, and then held a box of things in both hands and sent it to Feng Yingxiu very respectfully.
Feng Yingxiu kept her head sideways, looking at the originally unkempt but now bright woman in front of her with surprise, and when she saw her offering another box of things, she couldn't help but say: "What are you doing?"
"Juan'er has received great grace, and there is Sister Lao Feng all the way, grateful inexplicably, there is no way to repay, this is Juan'er was given by the princess to the Western Regions Fragrance Dew, the daughter's home is applied to the face, it can moisturize the skin and moisten the skin, and the beauty is relaxed, Juan'er has been carrying it on her body for more than a year, this will be given to Sister Feng, and Sister Feng is not too ugly. ”
These words were polite and sincere, when it was the personal maid of Princess Yuheng of Chenghan who knew the etiquette, Feng Yingxiu didn't expect that there would be such a gift, and immediately took the thing with a smile, and gently unscrewed the lid of the box, and a burst of balsam filled the room, this fragrance seemed familiar to Chi Tang and Xue Yang, and after a little recollection, he remembered that when he first saw Juan Er in the thatched hut that day, the house was this fragrance.
"Thank you for that, hehe, Sister Juan'er bothered. Feng Yingxiu was obviously very useful, and put the lid of Yun Xianglu in her arms. "Mi Li, for me, Xie Lu, Sister Xie Juan'er. ”
The little squirrel jumped out, stood on the shoulders of Feng Yingxiu, and waved his hands, which was extremely cute. Both Juan'er and the old woman laughed amused by the little squirrel.
Xue Yang had always been quite angry with the little squirrel who smashed his own bone, squinted at the squirrel, and said in a sneering tone: "Rice grain?
Feng Yingxiu brushed back at Xue Yang with Xue Yang's eyes towards the little squirrel, and said in the same tone as him: "Don't be a kid with a long boy and a short boy, she's not a kid, she's a girl." ”
"Is this guy a woman?" Xue Yanghun didn't expect that there was a big problem with his title, the squirrel only has a male and female, not a male or female, but he still couldn't help but follow Feng Yingxiu's words, and subconsciously leaned up, looked at the little squirrel's sexual characteristics, and said: "The woman is still so fierce? ”
The squirrel named Mi Li sniffled at Xue Yang, and then kicked Xue Yang with lightning speed before Xue Yang's eyes met the corresponding position.
Xue Yang was caught off guard, the bridge of his nose was early, and with an oops, he covered his nose and leaned back, and the rice grains took the opportunity to retract into Feng Yingxiu's clothes.
"Don't you know how to look at it, where are your eyes looking, you deserve to be beaten by rice grains!" Feng Yingxiu smiled happily, and at the same time motioned for Juan'er to sit down and dine.
Looking at Xue Yang's embarrassment, Juan'er, the old woman, and Chi Tang couldn't help laughing again.
Who said that if he wanted to deal with that little squirrel, the little squirrel wouldn't be able to run back to Feng Yingxiu's side at all? Chi Tang didn't doubt Xue Yang's assertion, but his second move could only show that he was deliberately teasing everyone, this cute sixth junior brother. ...,
"Oh, Sister Juan'er. In the laughter of everyone, Feng Yingxiu's expression suddenly straightened, "We are traveling all the way, you can't dress up like this, you are too beautiful, it will cause some unnecessary trouble, if you can, it is better to return to the appearance of unkempt hair, or simply, a woman dresses up as a man, and ends up being a man, so it is better." ”
This is very reasonable, after all, you have to trek through the treacherous mountains and rivers, and the road ahead is thousands of miles, and the beautiful woman will attract the covetousness of the robbers.
Juan'er nodded obediently, but added: "What about you, Sister Feng, you are also so beautiful, aren't you worried?"
It was Feng Yingxiu who was used to say beautiful words, and Feng Yingxiu smiled like a blooming flower: "Don't worry, I will cover my face with a cloak." ”
"I said, can we talk while eating?" Xue Yang rubbed his nose and interjected at the right time when Feng Yingxiu was smiling, "The dishes are cold, and my stomach is already growling." ”
"Please, please. Feng Yingxiu saw the boldness of the children of the rivers and lakes at this time.
This night, the shopkeeper who added wine and food ran back and forth on the stairs for more than a dozen times, and the back and forth between the removed leftovers and the new food running price, Feng Yingxiu's eyes were straight, and Xue Yang patted his round stomach and said with satisfaction that he was full of wine and food, and expressed his gratitude to Miss Feng for this dinner.
He finally had the upper hand in an alternative way.
※※※
Full of worries, Han Li came to the Qinhuai River, the gauze covering the wound on his face had already been removed, and there was already a long scar on his once elegant and handsome face, and Han Li always felt a deep sadness when he saw this reflection, you are right, Wuqing, every time I see myself, I think of you. Although I know that you may not have the slightest nostalgia for me, the past has always been painful for me. Especially, when I think of you.
Han Li carried a bag of wine and walked into a low-rise house.
A slender man walked in the direction of the alley, and when he passed by Han Li, the man quickly glanced at Han Li, and the yellow light in his eyes flashed.
Han Li seemed to feel something, and raised his eyes to look at the man, this is a middle-aged man in his forties, the mustache on his lips is not dense, and when he walked, his upper body did not swing with the pace, and the walking posture was a little strange, Han Li just moved in his heart, but the man lowered his head again, and walked away as if nothing happened.
Han Li didn't think much about it, stopped in front of a firewood door, and knocked lightly on the door.
The door opened, a thin and clear scholar was cleaning up the tea set, the room was full of books, it was obvious that he was a well-educated person, Han Li coughed lightly, but the scholar did not raise his head, and said: "Did you forget something?"
"Ziyan ......," Han left.
Only then did the scholar raise his head and said happily: "Brother Han, why are you here?" put down the tea set he packed and greeted him, but after seeing Han Li's appearance, his expression changed again: "Brother Han, what's wrong with his face? How do you grow a scar? Did you meet a strong enemy?"
Han Li waved his hand: "It's hard to say, what's the matter?" obviously didn't want to say more about the scars on his face.
The scholar knew that Han Li must have something unspeakable about this matter, he was a fine person, and he didn't ask any more, but just welcomed Han Li to sit down: "The visitor just left, I heard the door open again in a blink of an eye, and said that the guest pulled down something, but I didn't expect that it was Brother Huang Jian who came, sit down quickly, let me make new tea." ”
Han Li grabbed the scholar and shook the wine bag in his hand: "Ziyan, we don't drink tea today, we drink." He took out a bag of oiled paper from his arms and threw it on the table, the oiled paper was spread out, but it was already simmered and sliced beef, and a whole roasted chicken, "I have prepared the dishes, Ziyan just pack up the cups." ”...,
The scholar smiled and nodded in agreement.
This scholar is Teng Xiang, the name Ziyan, and he is the son of the Teng family in Beihai. The Teng family in Beihai was a famous family in the Eastern Wu Dynasty in the previous dynasties, several generations down to Teng Xiang's generation has been declining, Teng Xiang has read military books since childhood, and boasted of organic change strategy, willing to show his ambitions in this disputed situation, but it is a Han Bai Ding, empty of a skill but no door to serve the country. Han Li also repeatedly recommended Teng Xiang to Huan Da Sima, but Huan Da Sima had many celebrities under the curtain, and he didn't know what Teng Xiang could do for a while, but he just gave a master and a poor messenger, Teng Xiang hated that his position was small and difficult to make the best use of his talents, so he resigned and returned home, Han Li had persuaded him, Teng Xiang just didn't listen. However, this is just a business matter, and in terms of personal relations, the two are verbal speculation, which can be described as irreversible friends.
"How can Brother Han have time to come to the younger brother today?" Teng Xiang and Han Li drank each other, using their hands as a chopstick, grabbing the beef and sending it to their mouths, which is quite a bit of the style of celebrities and gentlemen.
"Tomorrow I will go to Lujiang with Da Sima to prepare for the Northern Expedition, I have never seen Ziyan Xian, and today I will come to drink with Ziyan. ”
"The younger brother also heard that the political turmoil in the Qin State and the new monarch ascended the throne, which is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition to use troops. It's just that Brother Han is going to fight with the army again, and the younger brother doesn't know when he will be able to drink the happy wine of Brother Han and Wuqing's sister-in-law. ”
Teng Xiang's unintentional words made Han Xiang feel a pain, but he still maintained a leisurely and elegant demeanor, and intentionally or unintentionally diverted the topic: "Zi Yan'an is still aware of the changes in the world when he sits at home, so talented, why not go back to the shogunate? Seeing that it is a big conquest, if Ziyan goes together, he will definitely be able to stand out. Why don't you worry about not being able to get the weight of Da Sima?"
In fact, until now, the younger brother may have sighed in the past, but now he feels that he is in a state of despair. The world is so big, there are many places where you can display your ambitions, so why bother in one place?"
"Hmm, Ziyan said this, could it be that he found a new place to go?"
"It just so happened that Brother Han came to look for him today, and he didn't hide it, so the younger brother made a decision, and voted for another master, showing my talents and learning, and being a hundred times stronger than the big Sima. Teng Xiang's tone exuded excitement.
