Chapter 123: Jiang Qi with a child
It's night.
Outside Chang'an City, by the Baqiao, ten miles of pavilions.
This is a place to say goodbye to friends, and there is an abandoned City God Temple next to it, the temple has been dilapidated, but because there is a curfew in Chang'an, people who have delayed the time to enter the city, in order not to toss, will choose to spend a night in this City God Temple.
Over time, the place has also been repaired a little, with more dry grass and firewood, and the windows have been barely pasted, and there is some popularity every night.
The statue of the Lord has long been moved to the new temple of the City God, and the shrine has also become a place for candles and lamp oil.
The candle flame was dim, and a hand with strong body hair clumsily pulled the wick, and the thick calluses on his fingers made him not afraid of a moment of scorching.
The owner of that hand was blonde and blue-eyed, and was dressed in Tang clothes.
This is a Hu man.
After the Hu people made the lights brighter a bit, he turned around and smiled flatteringly at the other two corners, and then sat back in his place.
There, in addition to him, there were a few servants, and a great deal of goods, and four lightly dressed orchids who snuggled together for warmth.
For the Hu trader, he could not sell Persian carpets and orchids for ten times the price, and he came to this city of angels in the east in vain, so he was even so stingy that he was unwilling to stay in a hotel.
Under the light, the orchid's slender figure swayed into a seductive shadow.
"That beard, send two orchids over to keep your uncle warm!"
At this time, in one of the directions that Fang Cai Hu Ren was looking at, a thick and rough voice came.
The person who spoke had a beard, a square face, round eyes, thick eyebrows, and a standard Guanzhong look.
Wearing a military uniform, there is a Tang knife lying beside him.
Born in Guanzhong and carrying a knife with him, eighty percent of this kind of person is a man in the army.
Hu Ren also knew this, he didn't dare to offend the Tang people, let alone a Tang army, he stood up suddenly, skillfully made a fork hand salute, spoke in half-baked official dialect, and said flatteringly: "This uncle, do you think these two are okay?" ”
Jun Han looked at the two orchids pointed by Hu Ren and frowned, compared to them, the other two were more beautiful and more expensive.
"Afraid that the uncle can't afford to pay the money? Take two defective goods to perfunctory? ”
The soldier couldn't help but point to the other two and said, "Let those two take off their clothes and come over!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and threw it over.
"Uncle forgive me, the little one doesn't dare to hide it from the uncle, these two are set by the senior monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, it is true."
Hu Ren said with a bitter face.
"What does the monk want the orchid to do?"
The novelty of the military man's listening.
"You should also know that in a few days there will be a water and land puja, when the world's high monks will come to Chang'an, and there are also monks from the Western Regions, so it is more convenient to buy two orchids."
Hu Ren accompanied the smiling face and said, "Look."
"Damn, I was preempted by the monk."
Jun Han is obviously not a brainless person, and he also knows that this water and land festival was set by the emperor, and there is no need to provoke that group of monks for the sake of momentary pleasure.
"Defeated."
The military man lost interest, waved his hand, and the Hu man hurriedly trotted over, picked up the silver, and respectfully returned it to the military man.
He put away the money, dismissed the Huren vendor, yawned, and looked to the other side with interest.
In that corner, there were two people sitting.
A man and a woman, both teenagers.
The man was wearing a linen rough robe, which looked very old, but it was such a shabby dress, but it was worn by the young man with a transcendent meaning.
Next to this young man, there is a little girl who looks one or two years younger, and she looks like she doesn't look like the world should be.
Even Yang Guifei is afraid that she can't compare to this little lady.
The soldier thought to himself, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a green light on the girl's wrist.
This is to put half of Chang'an's house on your hand!
"Both, polite."
The military man's expression moved, he didn't get up, but just made a forked hand salute, indicating that it was not that he was rude, but that there were female dependents who were inconvenient to pass.
"Looking at the demeanor of the two people, they must be nobles, why are they resting in this broken temple?"
The military man asked casually.
When the young man heard this, he smiled and said: "My sister has a lot of ideas, and it is not easy for me to accompany her, but I don't dare to take her anywhere." ”
"The little lady has a brother like Xiaolang, and she must be favored at home."
The military man smiled, and saw that the girl puffed out her cheeks, and pulled her brother's sleeve dissatisfied, only saying that she was dissatisfied with her brother's ignorance of her.
"In Xia Guoyi, Guanzhong people, I don't know what the two of you call them?"
"Below, Jiang Qi."
Jiang Qi smiled and pointed to the seventh princess beside him, and said, "This is my sister-in-law, ranked seventh." ”
"Jiang Xiaolang, Jiang Qiniang."
Guo Yi said hello again, then opened the package, took out an oiled paper bag, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Some snacks, send two to taste." ”
As he spoke, he stood up.
"But it's disrespectful."
Jiang Qi took two steps forward with a smile, took it, raised his eyebrows, and said, "This is?" ”
"Ahem, there is a cow in my Zhuangzi that accidentally broke its hoof, there is no way."
Guo Yi was sad.
"There is such a blessing on a cold night, thank you Brother Guo."
"You're welcome."
Guo Yi arched her hand and was about to turn back, but was stopped by the little lady.
"Here you go."
He looked down and saw that the little girl like a porcelain doll had found a few red dates out of nowhere, and it took a long time to pick a half-baked one to him.
Guo Yi smiled dumbly, but she wouldn't bother with a little girl, she just thought that she was a child who was reluctant to make snacks.
However, at this time, it is rare to have such plump dates.
"Thank you Jiang Qiniang."
Guo Yi thanked him, spread his hand, and saw that the little girl reluctantly threw the date into her hand.
He was not polite, and threw it into his mouth, but the next moment he blinked.
What a sweet date.
"It's the first time I've eaten such sweet dates, and I don't lose anything."
Guo Yi felt a sense of unexplained satisfaction in her heart, and she didn't think much about it, and after nodding to the brother and sister, she returned to her place.
The big mouth moved, spit out the jujube pit at will, and then fell asleep with clothes.
It's a cold day outside, although he has true qi in his body and is not afraid of the cold, but today somehow today, the warmth in his belly seems to have a stove.
Sleepiness hit, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
"It's really not a loss."
Jiang Qi opened the oil paper bag and saw that there was a list of beef in sauce with distinct muscles and meat, and smiled slightly.
"Delicious!"
The seventh princess tasted a slice, her eyes lit up, and she was about to get it again, but she found oil stains on her hands.
This made the seventh princess difficult for a while, and the eldest nephew said before that it was best not to use mana, and to behave in a way that was close to mortals, that is, there was no way to chant a spell to clean.
The seventh princess, who didn't know what dirt was from childhood to adulthood, couldn't bear it anymore.
A piece of silk brocade was handed to the Seventh Princess.
"Thank you, eldest nephew."
The seventh princess thanked her in a whisper, wiped her fingers carefully, but saw Jiang Qi eating happily one by one.
This made the seventh princess regret wiping her hands so early, but she didn't want to wipe her hands with great difficulty and get oily stains again.
After thinking about it, the seventh princess raised her hand and tugged at Jiang Qi's clothes.
Jiang Qi looked over.
"Big nephew, ahhh
I saw the seventh princess looking at him expectantly with those big eyes, to be precise, looking at the sauced beef in his hand, opening her small mouth, and looking like she was being fed.
Jiang Qi smiled dumbly, picked up a piece and fed it to the seventh princess.
It's fun with kids.
