Chapter 252: Mr. Gao Shan (Nine Watches)
Originally, Qin Ke had also thought about which inn to place Cai Yan in first, but if the patrol team searched door to door like this, it might not be long before Cai Yan was found out.
And Cai Yan gradually noticed that something was wrong, scratched his head and said: "This time, maybe my father is really angry, and he never uses the patrol team because of family matters." ”
"Well, I'm starting to wonder now that if I'm caught by the patrol, I'll be left in prison for the rest of my life. With a feeling of sin, Qin Ke turned his head and looked at Cai Yan with a wry smile.
Hiding all the way, her hair bun was messed up a lot, and her forehead and sideburns were also wet with sweat, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her wipe it, but soon found that at some point, his hand was tightly clasped with Cai Yan's hand.
"You ......"
Qin Ke blushed, in fact, he should have noticed that he was the guide, and he had made seven turns and turns along the way, Cai Yan could only follow, in order not to let her run away, maybe at a certain corner, he simply grabbed her hand neatly.
Cai Yan looked at the hands of the two, but he didn't have too much anxiety, just smiled and withdrew his hand generously, as if nothing had happened.
It was Qin Ke who felt the sweat in his palms, and he didn't know if it was Cai Yan's or his own.
He whispered, "It's right ahead." ”
The rice shop is still open for business at this time, but this is the back door of the rice shop, and it is a small street, it is the afternoon at the moment, most people are eating or resting, and the small street is empty.
Abu heard the footsteps, smiled and walked out of the inner room to greet him, but was startled by Cai Yan beside Qin Ke, he never thought that Qin Ke would bring back a girl when he went out, and judging from the dress of this girl, she didn't look like the daughter of an ordinary small family.
Cai Yan smiled and waved his hand at Abu, and said, "This ...... Hello brother. ”
Hearing the sound, Gao Yishui also walked out of the back room, and when he saw Cai Yan, his eyes changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Ah Ke, what kind of play are you playing?
Even at this time, he did not forget to cover it up, and opened his mouth to say that he would buy rice, as if he was really a rice seller.
Qin Ke smiled bitterly and walked inside tiredly: "It's a long story, pour me a bowl of water first, I'm dying of thirst now." ”
"Two bowls. Cai Yan was not afraid of life at all, so he followed Qin Ke all the way in, his eyes looking at the rice shop with curiosity.
This is where he lives, but the man in the robe doesn't look like the boss...... Dude is even less so.
Well...... The tall, stupid big guy looked a lot like a sack-carrying man.
Entering the inner room, Abu had already brought over two bowls of water and put them on the table together, Qin Ke sat down and drank it in one gulp, while Cai Yan was a little gentle, perhaps because she didn't need to pretend to be as free and easy as in the Drunken Immortal Building now, so she only took a few sips gently, leaving a little red lip print on the edge of the bowl.
Gao Yishui closed the door and sat down.
"This is Cai Yan. Qin Ke thought about it for a while, but still didn't think of how to better introduce it so that it would be less abrupt, "Yes......"
"Cai Zhuguo, Cai Yong's youngest daughter. The corners of Gao Yishui's mouth were slightly upturned, and he took Qin Ke's words, his eyes kept staring at the hosta on Cai Yan's bun.
"Do you know me?" Cai Yan looked at Gao Yishui curiously.
Gao Yishui shook his head and said with a smile: "The surname Cai in this Ding'an City is Cai, and there are few who can afford such expensive jewelry, this hairpin was originally Yang Guifei's object, and only Cai Yong's daughter deserves this reward." ”
Cai Yan looked at Qin Ke and said suspiciously: "Are you sure this is a rice shop, not a pawnshop?" He doesn't look like a rice shop owner at all, but like an antique shop master......
"Speaking of which, he can really be regarded as half an antique master. At least in terms of eyesight, Qin Ke thinks that Gao Yishui is absolutely extraordinary, part of which is due to his experience in the rivers and lakes, and the other part, he is indeed full of poetry and books, Qin Ke pouted and said: "Let me introduce you, he ...... It's called Gao Yi Shui. ”
"Gao Yishui?" Cai Yan thought for a while, his pupils gradually contracted and condensed, staring at Gao Yishui's face, and said with a slight surprise: "Isn't it...... Mr. Takayama?"
Gao Yishui's eyes lit up: "Oh, I didn't expect that after I left the Tang Kingdom for a few years, someone would still remember this name." ”
"Is it really Mr. Gao Shan?" Cai Yan said in surprise: "Of course I remember that the lord of the country invited you to enter the palace to play a song, but that day I had a headache and fever and had to leave the table early, and it was a pity that I couldn't finish listening to that song." ”
Qin Ke looked at Gao Yishui and showed a look of surprise, it was not the first time he heard Gao Yishui say that he had entered the palace of the Tang Dynasty to play the piano, but if this matter came out of Gao Yishui's mouth, he felt that it was so boastful.
Gao Yishui, who usually bragged to them, was like the child who herded sheep that the old people said, shouted too many wolves, and Qin Ke would no longer be willing to believe in those so-called "heroes who were brave back then".
Cai Yan grinned: "Mr. Gao Shan, there has been no news of you for several years, and the lord of the country thinks that you have left the Tang Kingdom, and now ...... Why are you staying in this rice shop?"
Gao Yishui laughed and said: "I did leave the Tang Kingdom, and I came here this time because I had some personal matters to do." As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Ke slightly, and Qin Ke suddenly understood, "That, Cai Yan...... You sit here for a while, and I'll come as I go. ”
Cai Yan tilted her head and nodded, she didn't have anything to worry about, and it was rare to meet Gao Yishui, she didn't want to miss a beautiful piano song again.
Qin Ke slowly walked into the cellar and saw Jing Yu waiting quietly with his hands behind him.
Qin Ke called softly: "Mr. Jing." ”
Jing Yu's face was solemn, and he nodded in response: "Little Brother Qin." ”
"Just call me Qin Ke or Ah Ke. Qin Ke said, usually Jing Yu calls him the same in front of outsiders, after all, his current role is Jing Yu's distant nephew, and the two always have a little bit of intimacy between uncle and nephew.
Jing Yu was not verbose, and said succinctly: "Ah Ke, it's time." ”
Qin Ke's heart froze, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he only let out a slightly heavy "um".
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened, with the rolling sound of the car wheeling on the ground, a bullock cart on the wide avenue moved smoothly, the car was full of fresh melons and fruits, tonight is Yang Taizhen's birthday banquet, the fresher the raw food of melons and fruits at the banquet, the better.
Qin Ke sat next to a few cooks who were in charge of purchasing melons and fruits, of course, to put it nicely, they were called cooks, but in fact, they were just assistant chefs who were responsible for killing chickens and sheep in the dining room.
The imperial chefs called these people "Chengying Meal Messengers", but this kind of formal title generally only appears in the official language, and they can't get such a crepe title in private, because these people, although poor, can always get a lot of oil and water from it when transporting vegetables, fish and meat to the palace, which is eye-catching.
"Stop. With a wave of the hand of the forbidden army at the gate of the palace, the hard-working ox slowly stopped, for there were flies always flying around its ears, and it shook its head, and its ears shook vigorously.
"Yo. Lao Guo, pulled another car? How many cars is this today?" "The forbidden army is obviously very familiar with the people in charge, and there is no majesty, let alone any restraint, so he walked to the side of the car and said with a smile: "Three days ago it was the Lantern Festival dinner, and today is the birthday of the concubine, how much oil and water do you have to fish?"
"Hi. There is no oil and water. The middle-aged man known as Lao Guo replied with a smile, but these words came out of his pot-bellied mouth, which was really not convincing, but the scene still had to continue: "There are more purchases for the New Year's holidays in a year, and there is no money in this palace, alas, what kind of drudgery can I do, what kind of oil and water can I fish?"
"Tut-tut, that's really like that. The guard of the forbidden army walked over while laughing, "I still have to check, there is an explanation in the palace today, and we must be stricter, so as not to go wrong again." As you know, a few months ago the palace caught fire and was stolen, and many people died inside and outside the palace......"
Lao Guo got down from the ox cart, and frankly stretched out his hand to lift the tarpaulin on the cart, revealing the melons and fruits inside: "What is there to check here, they are all melons and fruits, can you still hide assassins inside?"
He stretched out his hand and took a few pomegranates and pears from the car: "Accommodating, this hour is coming, and when the time comes, the imperial chefs will blame it, and I can't afford it......"
