Chapter 93: A city is lively
"Langhai slashed Xiao Ganyun?"
After the swordsman left, the maid opened the invitation and read it.
This maid is sleepless at night.
He had been prevented from entering the city, and seeing that the gates of the city were heavily guarded and difficult to enter, he devised a plan to find someone with an invitation and ask to follow him into the city.
He thought at the time: Ordinary people are definitely not willing to bring an unknown person into the city, but in the rivers and lakes, there is no shortage of heroes with chivalrous hearts.
So he found a path where chivalrous people walked through, made the heartbroken and weeping appearance before, and waited for the "customer" to come to the door.
Unexpectedly, before he dropped the "bait", there were "fish" on the bait. And unexpectedly, this "fish" also heroically gave him the invitation of King Ji's Mansion for free, and directly asked him to go on his behalf.
There is a big smile to light the power, and then to laugh at the spirit of the prince, the arrogance is dry, it is really heroic!
"The spirit of chivalry may be this: do it spontaneously and willingly."
When he was in Beishan Town this morning, he bought the charcoal from the charcoal seller, and later left the town, and then gave the charcoal to a poor patient who could not afford to go into the mountains to collect firewood for heating.
Perhaps in the eyes of these people, Sleepless Night, like this swordsman, is also a character like Ren Xia.
Sleepless at night, I sighed a little, then collected my thoughts and looked carefully at the text in the invitation:
"Mr. Xiao Ganyun:
Su Wen has exquisite knife skills, and in the realm of smoothness, there are almost no opponents. Famous Baoqing, sonic shock Langshan, glorious lake Hunan martial arts.
It coincides with the wedding of my grandson on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, and you are specially invited to come to the banquet to watch the ceremony.
The sea and the moon are bright, and people with hearts have planted jade in Lantian; Wushan rain dwells, amorous guests from the red leaves inscription poems.
Enough wine to wait for the foot; Gather the heroes and grow the spirit. If you have to come, you will be honored to be there.
Above. ”
Signed: "Changsha Jiwang Mansion, the tenth day of light snow in early October." ”
Sleepless at night accepted the invitation, held it in his arms, and said secretly: "This Ji Wangfu is really a big business, the grandson is married, and so many people are invited from Tiannan and Haibei." And so many people even gave him face, and they came to the banquet from hundreds of miles away. God treats this Zhu family as the best. ”
Recalling what I saw along the way, the poor had no salary to keep warm in the winter, but the rich got married in a city.
The poor get poorer and the rich get richer, and the disparity between the rich and the poor is like one in heaven and one on earth. In the long run, national security is for the country, and home security is for home?
His heart was gloomy, and he stood silently.
His own people are soft-spoken and shallow, and they can't change the way of the world. Even if you want to enter the city today, you can only find a way to get an invitation, follow its regulations, and unknowingly, do a thing that is in the same stream.
The young man sighed, no longer hesitated, and set off for Changsha City.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, it was the original servant in brocade clothes who stopped him from going.
"As I explained earlier, you can't go into the city without an invitation! Why did you turn back again, girl? Do you want to beg for a fight? ”
He is aggressive, blowing his beard and glaring, and he is full of style.
Since ancient times, domestic servants are not easy to mess with, and the seven-grade official in front of the prime minister's door can be briefly glimpsed in this servant.
Sleepless smiled at night, took out the invitation from his arms and gave it to him, and said, "Don't worry. Invitations? I have it. Please take a look. ”
The brocade-clothed servant took the invitation and looked at it carefully for a long time.
Seeing that the style is so styled, the number of words also has these word counts, as for the book cover, pattern, and texture, they are all the same as those presented by other guests, as if it was a real invitation.
He glanced at Sleepless Night suspiciously, remembering that he had no invitation before, and after turning around, there was something strange in it.
didn't hurriedly deny it, first recruited a person dressed as a small guy, and asked: "Little fourth son, I can't read, you come and help me see if this invitation is fake." ”
The little fourth son took the invitation and read it, nodded and said: "The style, words, honorifics, and rules are all correct, but there is one place that is very strange." ”
As he spoke, he looked up at the sleepless eyes and shook his head.
The brocade-clothed servant perked up and said, "What's weird? ”
Xiao Sizi said: "The guest of honor written on the invitation is 'Lianghai Yidao Xiao Ganyun'." Although I don't know this good sea sword, but according to this name, it should be a man who wields a sword, but how can you be a woman who fights a sword, this ...... I'm afraid this isn't your invitation, is it? ”
The brocade-clothed servant got this support, and immediately became high-spirited, and angrily rushed to the sleepless night and said: "You woman, did you kill Lianghai with a knife, rob his invitation, disguise yourself as him, and pretend to sneak into the city?" ”
With a wave of his hand, the two soldiers from before surrounded him again, with a fierce face, and if they didn't agree with each other, they were about to make a move.
Old actors.
Ye Wuxian smiled: "What Your Excellency said about 'a knife in the good sea', I don't know who it is." But if it's a 'knife in the sea', it's a family teacher. The family teacher took me to the banquet and sent me first. I didn't mean that I didn't bring the invitation, and I couldn't enter the city gate of your mansion, so I had to return to the Ming family teacher. At this time, the tutor was in a hurry and couldn't go to the appointment, so he gave me this post and asked me to come on his behalf. ”
He asked rhetorically: "It was an ordinary substitute teacher who went to the banquet, but in your opinion, he became a murderer?" ”
His words, without hurry, were calm and relaxed, and had laid the foundation for six or seven points of credibility.
After the little fourth son found a more literate steward and determined that the word "崀" was pronounced like "wave" instead of "good", he no longer dared to question his identity, but politely confessed his guilt, returned the invitation to him, made a gesture of invitation, and let him into the city.
There were people in the crowd who coaxed: "Langhai is a sword-maker, how can you teach a disciple who plays with swords?" Fake it! ”
Before the brocade-clothed servant regained his suspicions, another good person sneered and said, "If such a beautiful female disciple is willing to worship you as a teacher, will you care if she plays with a sword or a sword?" ”
This answer caused a burst of laughter, and the brocade servant finally completely dispelled his suspicions, and no longer bothered to sleep at night, but went to greet the other guests.
I entered the city sleepless at night, looked at Changsha City, where red lanterns hung all over the streets, like the New Year, and shook my head.
He didn't go to the bustle on the road, and walked straight to Jixiang Lane, where Tan's mansion was located.
Unexpectedly, the bustle at the city gate only started; The closer you get to Jixiang Lane, the more lively it is.
The last time I came, this alley was deserted, and the bluestone pavement was almost unworn, so it was obvious that there were few pedestrians. Today, the world is reversed, and the alleys are crowded with people of all colors.
There are scribes wearing scarves, girls in bright clothes, white-haired wives, young couples, peddlers and pawns, whip officials, family members who give money and candy, and beggars who compete for rice and porridge.
Exactly: three or five groups of people gather to congratulate each other because of the marriage.
A bright red carpet spreads from the head of the alley to the end of the alley, and at the end of the visible eye, it spreads to the left.
Sleepless at night squeezed forward from the crowd, and finally squeezed to the end of the alley, only to find that the real congestion had just begun.
