Seventy-ninth New Year's Eve
"It's nearly seventy percent, and it's still a little worse than when it was in its heyday, but I don't pay attention to these small people. Shen Yuan chuckled, "Sister Fang Cai is worried about me?"
"Phew, this girl is not worried!" He Nanxu's cheeks were slightly red, and he quickly denied it, and said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to defeat that Zhao Hanqing, and you won't be able to help me rescue my mother-in-law!"
Since he talked about this, he only heard Shen Yuan suddenly say: "Sister, do you know how Zhao Hanqing's martial arts compare with me?"
Hearing this, He Nanxu thought for a while, and only said: "This is not good, in short, Granny Snake has fought with him several times in previous years, although she did not take advantage, but she did not suffer too much loss, you can see that Zhao Hanqing is intentionally giving in." If you were in your prime, you would not have to fear him, but now ......"
"It's okay, it only takes three or five days for the strength to recover as before," Shen Yuan confidently said that it was nothing more than a reassuring pill for He Nanxu, and he continued to say, "Then Zhao Hanqing is really as rumored, and he is upright?"
He Nanxu nodded and said: "This is true, the 'righteous sword' Zhao Hanqing, as his name suggests, can be said to be famous all over the world, and the 'Haoran Sword' Qu Danxin is one south and one north, the same name as the rivers and lakes, and called the north and south double heroes, the rivers and lakes have verses to praise, 'Haoran is a true gentleman, a righteous hero'!"
Shen Yuan looked at He Nanxu with some surprise, and said, "I don't want my sister to have such a heart, even if she captures her mother-in-law, she still praises this person!"
"This person is really chivalrous, this is not fake, he is upright, he is good at fighting grievances, and he is good at eliminating violence and peace, which is indeed deeply popular. Listening to He Nanxu's words again, he puffed up and said, "Hmph! Praise is praise, but this time I actually captured my snake mother-in-law, and it was obvious that she tore her face, and she was really angry with him!"
Before the words fell, there was worry in his expression, and he only heard He Nanxu say: "I don't know who the snake mother-in-law collided with this time, and she actually asked Zhao Hanqing to leave no affection at all! In the past, although the mother-in-law was always unhappy with him, but this back and forth can be regarded as forming some friendships, every time I go to Pingyang Mansion, Zhao Hanqing will always take more care of me, why is it this time...... I'm just afraid that my mother-in-law will be more auspicious, hey!"
Shen Yuan untied the sword from behind his back, pressed it on the table, and laughed loudly: "Sister Nanxu, put your mind at ease for the time being, if Zhao Hanqing wants to take care of his name, he will definitely not take his mother-in-law's life lightly! ”
"Why do you say that?" He Nan was puzzled, "I have also crossed paths with him, and I really don't look like such a fake person." ”
"Hmph, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts,"
Shen Yuan snorted lightly, and then said what Shicai was thinking in his heart, "I guess nine times out of ten, the people who entered the Tiger Roaring Hall were Wang Zhi and them. ”
He Nanxu only felt a little incredible, so he wanted to ask, and then listened to Shen Yuan say: "Zhao Hanqing knows his identity, so he doesn't dare to slack off! If he is really as rumored, upright and chivalrous, how can he be afraid of the powerful? He has always known that Granny Snake is not easy to get along with, and he is a little reckless because of anxiety in his heart, there is nothing important, if he takes care of the meager friendship over the years, it would be good to cover it up with a sentence or two, and why should he arrest Granny Snake in front of Wang Zhi, obviously because he is afraid that he will not be able to be involved, and he will invite credit and flattery!"
After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he was obviously relieved to see that He Nanxu was obviously relieved, but for Shen Yuan's mouth, the "Northern Hero" Zhao Hanqing's personality was still unbelievable, so he smiled and said: "What Fang Cai said is just my speculation, but the safety of my mother-in-law should be as I expected." ”
He Nanxu nodded slightly, but he was no longer in the mood to come.
"If you really can't rest assured, we will set off early tomorrow morning and rush to Pingyang as soon as possible to rescue Granny Snake!" Shen Yuan didn't want to see He Nanxu depressed, and said with relief, "With me here, Granny Snake will be fine!"
She herself knows that now that she is in Taiyuan, even if she sets off overnight, it will be useless, it is better to be at peace when she comes, but she can't help but be worried, and she really can't mention the interest of this New Year. At this time, I heard Shen Yuan's vows, and saw that he was confident, and his heart was really relieved.
I couldn't help but think to myself: "If it weren't for him by my side, I would really lose my senses." Somehow, he said that he was going to save my mother-in-law, and I believed that my mother-in-law would be safe, and she would risk her life for me, and she would treat me like this, and teach me how to repay me.......
Thinking of this, He Nanxu cheered up, and at this time the sky was getting dark, the guy immediately turned the lamp, and it happened that the shopkeeper personally held the wine and food and brought it up, set the table, and greeted: "Two guest officers, the wine and food are ready, please use it slowly!"
The shopkeeper was about to retreat, but was grabbed by Shen Yuan, startled, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what else the guest officer commands?"
Shen Yuan's curiosity hung on his face, pointed to the dishes on the table, and asked: "These dishes are really good-looking, but I am a country boy who has never seen anything in the world, so I really don't know what these dishes are called, and I hope the shopkeeper will tell them one by one, hehe!"
The shopkeeper was really relieved when he heard this, and pointed to one of the fish before he could speak, so he heard He Nanxu grab the conversation and say: "That's the signature sweet and sour carp sent to Yanlou, and I want to come here for the New Year to take the meaning of more than one year after year?"
"The girl is right, that's exactly the reason!
He Nanxu smiled and said, "I've been here a few times," he said and pointed out one by one, "I also know that it's a canned of stewed venison, that bowl is haggis, and that plate is oily meat, all of which are the store's signatures!"
Shen Yuan looked at the index finger and listened to the shopkeeper say: "The girl must be a frequent customer of this store, otherwise how can she be so clear?"
"Where, is it that you are too famous to send Yanlou, especially the pair outside the door, how many people in Shanxi don't know?"
Speaking of this couplet, Shen Yuan thought about it for a while, he was confused by those little people before, and he forgot to ask, only to hear him ask the shopkeeper and He Nanxu: "Then I want to ask, if the couplet is not about wine, is it still vinegar?"
"It's really called the son, the opening of the altar is drunk, and the table is ten miles of incense, it is this old vinegar. The shopkeeper unconsciously became proud, "If you say that in Shanxi, the wine should be the best in Xinghua Village, and this vinegar is the first in Qingyuan County!
Shen Yuanqi said: "It turns out that this vinegar can also be used as wine, can it be intoxicating?"
On the side, He Nanxu covered his mouth and chuckled: "Why don't you try it?"
"Try it!" Shen Yuan's greedy mouth was still cultivated with Gongye and all the way, although he hadn't seen it for thirteen years, but for some reason, Shen Yuan seemed to be engraved in his bones, and he wanted to try local delicacies wherever he went.
After a few moments, the shopkeeper took out a small jar, and as soon as he opened it, the room was full of vinegar fragrance! Shen Yuan couldn't help but praise: "This vinegar is really not ordinary, quickly put a bowl and taste it with me!"
"Okay!"
The shopkeeper slowly scooped out a small bowl while bearing it, Shen Yuan couldn't wait, and before he could finish listening to the shopkeeper's words, he drank it all!
"Ah!" In an instant, Shen Yuan's face distorted, and when he looked closely, it was sour, choking on tears, which made He Nanxu and the shopkeeper laugh.
He Nanxu smiled: "How can you drink vinegar like this? You have to drink it slowly to taste the taste!" said, and also asked the shopkeeper to scoop a little for himself, and took a sip at the moment, the old vinegar must be sour in the mouth, but He Nanxu only felt that the sour taste was long, the aftertaste was endless, and there was a trace of sweetness in the mouth, which was really a unique taste!
Looking at Shen Yuan again, I saw him shaking his head and waving his hand again and again, and said, "I'm still drinking, just this bowl of vinegar is in my stomach, only another half a catty of mutton stuffed dumplings can surprise this son!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately laughed loudly: "Let's go and make mutton stuffed dumplings for the guest officer!"
Shen Yuan arched his hand and laughed! Suddenly, there was a "crackling" firecracker outside the door, and then he listened to the naughty boy frolicking, and said secretly: "This long-lost New Year's flavor has finally been recovered!"
------------------------------------
Pingyang Mansion is also full of firecrackers and thousands of lights.
In a remote wing room of Tiger Roaring Hall, Zhao Hanqing, who was more than half a hundred years old, had blue tendons bulging on his forehead, and shouted: "You old woman really doesn't know what to do!"
As soon as the words fell, an old woman with silver hair came out of the shadow of the lamp, and the snake staff in her hand "banged" on the ground, it was the snake mother-in-law! At this moment, her voice was cold, but she said angrily: "The surname Zhao, I don't think you are also the flattering villain, if you want to ask for credit, why don't you just kill the old man?"
"Boom!" Zhao Hanqing smashed the table with one palm, glared angrily, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable!" turned around and walked out, leaving the snake mother-in-law in the room thoughtful.
At the other end, in the Ruyi Restaurant in Pingyang City, in an elegant room, Wei Ying stood behind Wang Zhi, pressing the handle of the knife with one hand, staring at a black-robed man sitting opposite him, unable to see the appearance of the person, only to see him calmly raise the tea bowl and take a sip slowly.
At this time, I only heard Wang Zhi ask: "I don't know if Mr. asked our family to come here alone, what do you have to say?"
The man just laughed and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency if you want to kill Li Zilong?"
Wang Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and then saw that Wei Ying was about to draw his knife almost at the same time!
The man raised his head, stroked his beard, and said with a faint smile: "The old man's surname is He!"
