Chapter Twenty-Three: Merry and Talented, Beautiful Woman
In life, nine times out of ten, it is unsatisfactory.
Many times, many things backfire, but they are irretrievable, for example, Yang Yanlang wants Zhong Ming to return to the school captain's mansion with him.
The dinner was over that day, and Yang Yanlang didn't follow his wishes.
The general was well fed and drunk, but he could not persuade the young man, so he could only shake his head and sigh, and prepare to get up and leave.
The noisy mud village has also returned to calm, the men are busy putting away the tables, the mothers-in-law are cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and although everyone is working, they are still smiling.
Mr. Zhong has allocated fertile land for the silt village, which is not secretly happy in his heart.
At the entrance of the village, Zhong Ming said to Yang Yanlang on the horse: "Uncle, be careful on the road. ”
The general waved his hand and smiled: "Go back, I am Captain Zhiguo, the biggest military general in the border, which thief eats his head badly, and can still worry about me?"
Yang Yanlang's words made Zhong Ming slightly embarrassed, and in his dry laughter, the general led the thin scale horse away.
However, Zhong Ming left a fine scale rider by his side, who was the leader of the fine scale rider, Sun Longhu.
Sun Longhu returned to his hometown, Yang Yanlang authorized him to visit his relatives for two days, and in the next two days, this Sun Sige did not need to return to the fine scale ride, and could accompany his old father at home.
The general is a reasonable person, and he attaches great importance to affection, and this rest day of visiting relatives is also reasonable.
Now Sun Longhu's official worship is the eighth grade of the fine scale rider Zuo Sige, is the most effective general under the general, according to etiquette, Zhong Ming also has to respect this one, so he said: "Sun Sige, I see that my uncle is gone, why don't we go back." ”
Sun Longhu retracted his gaze, turned his head to the young man and smiled: "Young Master Zhong, this Sun Sige can torment me, now you are the nephew of the captain, how can I afford your title." ”
Thinking about it, Sun Longhu has also been in the army for a long time, and he is no longer the demented boy he was when he left the village, and he is a little official when he talks and laughs.
The young man smiled and raised his hand to ask Sun Longhu to go first, but Sun Longhu raised his hand and said, "The young master goes first, and the humble post follows later." ”
failed to beat Sun Longhu, and the young man and Sun Sige walked one after the other on the way back to the village.
The young man was still carrying a sword behind him, and before the general left, he had left this knife to the young man, which was considered to be the return of the goods to its original owner.
"Brother Sun, you and I are also childhood friends, I call you Shengsige, you call me Young Master, a little raw, it's better for you to call me Brother Zhong Ming, and I dare to call you Brother Longhu again. ”
Zhong Ming opened his mouth with the intention of being close, how Sun Longhu didn't like it, and immediately responded: "Excellent, I think Zhong Ming's little brother is very good for your proposal!"
As soon as the title was changed, the two were no longer so angry, and they returned to the village after talking and laughing.
When the two of them arrived in front of Sun's courtyard, Zhong Ming said in a low voice: "Brother Longhu, I specially asked Liang Heizi to leave an altar of green bamboo brew for you and Uncle Sun in the house, and also left a fan of pig ear meat, you and Uncle Sun can have a good time tonight." ”
The dinner is rice wine, and this green bamboo wine is three times higher than the price of rice wine, which shows that the young people have a heart.
Whether it is green bamboo stuffed or pigtail meat, Sun Longhu can afford it, but he was a little flattered by this intention, and hurriedly said: "Thank you little brother Zhong Ming first, take the trouble." ”
"I can't thank you, Uncle Sun takes care of me and my mother quite a lot on weekdays, since I was a child, I have been half a son of Uncle Sun, this is my filial piety. ”
After these words, the two became closer, and Sun Longhu even said: "If it is really my little brother Zhong Ming, in this way, we are really better than brothers." ”
Sun Longhu, who laughed loudly, also lowered his voice, and said in his ear: "If the junior brother has something that he can't say to the captain in the future, let me know, and I will definitely be able to handle it for you." ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.
In this small town, except for the seventh-grade He Xianling and his own uncle who is the captain of the fruit, it belongs to Sun Sige, who is the eighth grade, to speak.
A jar of green bamboo brew was exchanged for a caring big brother Si Ge, and Zhong Mingcai was really happy in his heart.
Sun Longhu saw that the two of them were talking about the same, so he said, "Then I'll go back to the house first, little brother, see you tomorrow." ”
The young man also hurriedly said goodbye, and the two parted in front of the courtyard of the Sun family.
There are not many people in the courtyard of the Sun family's fence, only a few women are still busy helping Old Man Sun clean up the courtyard, and Sun Luolian is also among them.
The little girl seemed to be waiting for the young man to return, but just now I saw him talking to Sun Longhu in front of the door, Sun Luolian had no expression on her face, but she was anxious in her heart, so she couldn't wait until Sun Longhu entered the hospital, she hurriedly moved Jin Lian and chased after him outside the hospital.
The young man's pace was not fast, and Sun Luolian caught up with the young man at a trot of a few steps.
Sun Luolian probed and shouted, "Brother Zhong stays!"
Hearing the shout, Zhong Ming looked back, and when he saw that it was Sun Luolian, he looked quite surprised and said, "What is Xiaolian looking for me?"
I saw the little girl twisting and taking out a plain linen handkerchief from her arms, handing it to the young man, and said with a blushing face: "Brother Zhong, this is left for you." ”
Zhong Ming took the handkerchief suspiciously, opened it and saw that it was half a crispy cake.
The young man smiled dumbly and asked, "What does Xiaolian mean by this?"
The little girl was mistaken, and thought that the young man was asking why there was only half a piece of crispy cake, and her pretty face turned even redder, and she tugged at the corner of her clothes and twisted it for a while.
Sun Luolian finally whispered: "Today, the idiot brought me a piece of crispy cake, but when he got it back, it was an unopened lotus leaf bag, I remembered that Brother Zhong hadn't eaten it yet, so I wanted to leave it to you, but ...... But I couldn't help it, this crispy cake was too sweet, so I pinched half of it and ate it. ”
"This half is reserved for Brother Zhong. ”
The little girl's sincerity made the young man unable to laugh, he gently pinched the crispy cake and looked at it, it was still a little warm, probably the girl's body temperature covered the heat.
Crispy cake is already the best thing for the little girl, and she is willing to share half of the young man's piece, what a kind girl she is.
In the distance, the lights were dim, and by the fence, young men and maidens stood opposite each other.
The young man's eyes were gentle, staring at the crispy cake in his hand, and a certain heartstring in his heart was plucked.
The girl's face was shy, her head bowed, and her toes writhed uneasily.
In the years of jasper, the transmission of emotions is so simple and simple.
Putting the crispy cake back in his handkerchief, the young man handed it back to the girl and said, "I have already eaten it, so you can keep this half for yourself." ”
But she didn't expect the little girl to be very stubborn, and pushed the young man's hand back and said, "This is what I specially left for Brother Zhong." ”
Seeing that Sun Luolian was so persistent, Zhong Ming had no choice but to put half of the pastry in his mouth, chew it carefully and swallow it.
When the young man ate the crispy cake, Sun Luolian smiled like a flower, covered her mouth and asked, "Brother Zhong, is my osmanthus cake sweeter than others?"
Zhong Ming nodded, unable to speak.
He actually wanted to cough, but he insisted on holding it back, this crispy cake was already sweet in his throat, and when he ate half of it in one bite, the young man's sweet throat hurt.
After eating, the young man handed the handkerchief back, but he didn't expect Sun Luolian to push it back, and said shyly: "Brother Zhong, this handkerchief is also given to you." ”
Zhong Ming looked down at the handkerchief, there were two green ducklings embroidered on it, it seemed that it was the little girl's embroidered handkerchief, so he said: "Your embroidered handkerchief embroidered with ducklings is a personal thing, I can't just take it." ”
After speaking, the young man looked down carefully, what did the embroidered duck mean on the handkerchief?
The young man was still a little puzzled.
But she didn't expect Sun Luolian to change her face immediately when she heard this, and her face was even more aggrieved with a hint of anger, and said: "That's not a duck, that's a pair of mandarin ducks!"
"This is a mandarin duck, but it's too fat, isn't it?"
The young man's face was full of surprise, staring at the two fat mandarin ducks, with flat mouths, round bodies, and green bodies, and he really couldn't see where they looked like mandarin ducks.
The angry little girl stomped her feet, pointed at Zhong Mingjiao and said angrily: "Brother Zhong, you are a stupid wood, I won't pay attention to you anymore!"
With an angry snort, Sun Luolian trotted back into the fence courtyard, provoking a group of women to laugh good-naturedly.
Although the embroidery of these two mandarin ducks is ugly, it is also reasonable to say that Sun Luolian has not had the opportunity to learn silk embroidery since she was a child, and it is not easy to learn embroidery with the women in the village.
As for the fat duck in the mouth of these two young people, I don't know how many nights the girl secretly embroidered, dismantled, and embroidered, and her fingertips were pierced by embroidery needles dozens of times before they got it.
Holding an embroidered handkerchief, the young man looked at the courtyard of the Sun family and said secretly: "It's broken!"
Even if Zhong Ming is sluggish, he is not a fool, Sun Luolian and Mandarin Duck embroidered handkerchiefs have been sent, how can he not be able to do it.
But seeing that Sun Luolian had left at this time, she couldn't chase into the courtyard and return the embroidered handkerchief to her, which didn't break the little girl's heart.
But Zhong Ming really didn't have the heart to start a family, and he didn't want to accept Sun Luolian's embroidered handkerchief, which would inevitably delay others.
Thinking about it, the young man didn't come up with a good solution, so he could only dissuade himself and said: "Let's take it first, and then I will explain this matter to her when I have the opportunity to do it later." ”
Zhong Ming carefully picked up the embroidered handkerchief, lifted the strap on his shoulder that carried the Yama Absolute Sword, sighed and walked home.
Now the young man knows the taste of sorrow, and he wants to talk about it, but he says that the weather is cool and autumn.
Along the way, the most heard by young people is the whispering of the division of land at home.
In the next few days, the fertile fields on the ridge in the east of the city will be the talk of the mud village after dinner.
When the young man walked to the railing of the house, he could hear the snoring of Liang Yu next door.
Liang Yu has three major shortcomings, and is often said by Zhong Ming: people are black, feet smelly, and snoring.
The big rooster named Iron General also ran to sleep on the low wall, probably startled by the snoring of his master, and was quite disgusted.
It was a good night scene with few moonstars and stars, but it was disturbed by this snoring sound.
Zhong Ming shook his head, plucked his ears and walked into the room, closing the door to be better.
Sitting at home, the young man took a breath and poured himself a large bowl of herbal tea, which was tea foam bought in the city, and also had an elegant name called Mantianxing, which was specially prepared for poor scholars like them.
Drinking tea is not a vassal and elegant thing for young people, but there are really few things with taste in this village, and drinking some tea foam only adds more flavor to the mouth.
After drinking tea, the young man untied the Yama Absolute Knife from his body and placed it on the table.
This peerless treasure knife had just arrived, and the young man should have taken a good look at it, but he didn't have time at this time, not because he didn't want to appreciate it carefully, but because he had something more important now - opening the stone lock mandarin duck.
Now that the dragon and phoenix keys are in hand, the stone lock mandarin duck was intentionally sent back by Lao Shankui, and there must be a cause to send two strange things to the young man.
What exactly is in the stone lock mandarin duck is the most curious thing for young people at the moment.
