Chapter 6: Calculation 1
After last night, Tang Xiaoyu looked around again, and couldn't help but feel hypocritical in his heart. After living here for ten cold and summer, she still has no sense of belonging, because she can't substitute empathy, so Tang Xiaoyu's emotions are mostly superficial.
If someone asks her in the future: how does it feel to live in a story, Tang Xiaoyu will probably only say two words: loneliness.
It's a real loneliness.
"Xiaobai, let's walk the alley. Tang Xiaoyu had mixed feelings in his heart, raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, and the shadow just covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression at this time.
Hearing this, the young man looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and then turned the donkey and walked into the shady alley.
Tang Xiaoyu lives in the north of the town, Wanjia is in the south of the town, from north to south, to cross a stone arch bridge, which is the largest bridge in paddy field town - Gongde Bridge.
This bridge is built by Wanjia in gratitude for sending the son Guanyin to build, and the master of the main ink is Tang Xiaoyu, the day of completion coincides with the birthday of the Dragon King, and it is also the day when she emerged in Shuitian Town, the merit bridge is one of the most real things that Tang Xiaoyu feels in this world, and it is also the most powerful evidence to prove that her past is true.
The flow of people on the bridge is endless, the boat under the bridge is like a spirit fish, the sound of people can not cover the boatman's horn resounding across the river, Tang Xiaoyu let Xiaobai rest on the bridge, there are still some days before the birthday of the dragon mother on October 15, but the red silk lanterns have been hung on the bridge, and the river breeze is fluttering in red silk, adding a joy to the fireworks in the world.
Looking south from the bridge, it is a rolling mountain, and the south of the town is close to the Crouching Tiger Mountain, and the mountain shape is like a tiger guarding wealth. A master once said that this place will be outstanding in the future, so the rich and noble officials and businessmen flocked to it and pressed their homes to the south. Tang Xiaoyu did not look at the towering mountains, but at the nearby staggered and scaled gables.
What five mountains to the sky, herringbone, cat arch back type, a glimpse of the high wall used to insulate the fire in the hands of large families also turned out a lot of tricks.
Observing the world created by the system is Tang Xiaoyu's favorite pastime, like a turtle-haired audience watching and popularizing science. Take the clear water walls on both sides of the alley as an example, the brick walls seem to be the same, but in fact, they are hidden mysterious. Don't think that people are a wall of affection, in fact, the real identity of people is the Patek Trili minute repeater on the wrist of the head of the household, one of the magic weapons.
The comparison between rich and noble families is not a tacky way to wear gold and silver, they talk about hiding ingenuity and clumsiness, and comparing the details. Bricks must be green bricks, not as sound as gold and jade; wood must be good materials, not in the middle do not take; your house will build bricks into plum blossoms, my family will be made into a Ding Sanshun, the door to the door secretly compete never the same.
Of course, the wall can't be hidden, and the tiles can't escape, and the tiles covering the head have also become a means to show off their identity and show off invisibly.
Tang Xiaoyu lives in the Southern Jin Kingdom, if you want to know whether the owner of the house is an official, you only need to take a look at the roof, just like the corner of this house, the courtyard wall facing the street has made a half-mountain pavilion, and the top of the mountain is paved with tube tiles.
In the Southern Jin Dynasty, which upheld the practice of educating the people with rituals, the system of tiles also had to abide by the etiquette system and not be transgressed; those who were peddlers and pawns and had no merit could only use slabs and tiles; those who had meritorious names and had no official positions could only use tube tiles in the main house; only those who had official positions could lay tube tiles at will; as for outsiders who wanted to get a glimpse of the master's official residence, they also needed to judge from the system of the door of the mansion and the number and arrangement of door nails.
Back to the book, the corner of the house only needs to show the tube tile of the Banshan Pavilion, and the gold paint on the opposite door can be compared.
Speaking of etiquette, Tang Xiaoyu couldn't help but slander, she lived in the Southern Jin Dynasty for ten years, where the Li bloodline who once dominated the world was orthodox, and she waited for hundreds of battles.
The Northern Zhou, Eastern Qi, Western Yue, and Southern Jin Dynasty all had the ambition to dominate the world, and the familiar style of painting once ignited Tang Xiaoyu's blood, and she felt that her body was full of strength and wanted to find someone to fight. However, if you can't get out of this paddy field town, your ambitions have become a waste. Tang Xiaoyu is not tripped by people and can't do without, but whenever she tries to go out, she will encounter ghosts hitting the wall, and the land and water routes are almost winged and flying in the sky without trying, Tang Xiaoyu walked sideways and vertically, all ended in failure, and after there was nothing to do, she took a break to study all over the world and look at the world's thoughts.
In this matter, she asked the system last night, and the other party readily admitted that the reason for trapping her in a square inch was to prevent her from going out to be a demon and affecting the still young Xiaobai.
The heart of the system's fist and beloved son is obvious, and Tang Xiaoyu can only hehe.
"Hall Master, you're here. "The brother of Xinyi Tang saw Tang Xiaoyu coming, and immediately greeted him.
Tang Xiaoyu nodded after landing on the ground, took off his straw hat casually, and said kindly and majestically: "Xiao Yi, tell the brother of Xinyi Hall that I will go to see the helmsman first, and I will talk about it when I come back." ”
"Hall Master, Hall Master Yuan brought a message, saying that there is something to discuss, and he will be waiting for you in the council hall for many nights. ”
"Got it. ”
After Xiao Yi finished reporting, he glanced left and right alertly, and then strode forward, lowered his voice and said to Tang Xiaoyu: "Lord Wan Helm specially asked me to wait in front of the door, so that you can go to the flower hall as soon as you come, Lao Zhang is back, and the other cousins don't know about this matter yet." ”
Open your mouth quickly!?
When she heard this, her eyes darkened slightly, her eyes narrowed, and she made a gesture to Xiaobai that she looked at it, and walked quickly into the gate of Wanjia, where the house was in Shangjiu Lane, between Chuanhua Lane and Zhangzi Lane, the upper and lower two floors were five before and after, and the Surabaya Lane where the meeting hall of the Tongcao Gang was located was only one street apart.
The flower hall was behind the hall, and the servants and maids saw Tang Xiaoyu hurriedly passing through the weeping flower door, and they all stopped what they were doing to salute her, and Tang Xiaoyu nodded frequently all the way.
As soon as she entered the courtyard of the flower hall, she saw a tough man waiting in front of the door, who was more than seven feet tall and was born with a strong and mighty face.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong. Tang Xiaoyu couldn't help but speed up her pace, Zhao Shanhe's face was gloomy, and there was murderous intent in his eyes, it was not a trivial matter to wait for her outside the hall.
Zhao Shanhe pursed his lips and was silent, raising his hand to signal her to take a step to speak, Tang Xiaoyu nodded and followed him up to the verandah: "Brother-in-law?"
"Brother Caoyun's messenger said that the sword envoy of Yunyunlou, Ming Jian, will arrive in Shuitian Town by boat tomorrow, he has been inquiring about your news, do you say that this person will know about Feng Province, your sister asked me not to interfere, I don't worry. Zhao Shanhe looked at the left and right of no one before he spoke.
"Yun Zhenlou, it's coming very quickly. Tang Xiaoyu snorted.
She only has the relationship between the characters and the outline of the plot in her hands, and the details are systematically closed, Tang Xiaoyu wondered if she would have to wait for a long time last night.
I didn't expect it to arrive the next day, it's not bad, it's really timely.
Zhao Shanhe was not surprised at all when he saw her, and showed an expression that was really like this, he was puzzled: "You know." ”
Tang Xiaoyu nodded, and the words changed: "Brother-in-law, how does this person Mingjian's martial arts compare with you, which is higher and which is lower." ”
"I made a sword, and he used a sword, and I didn't know it. ”
"Then it's a comparison, as a brother-in-law, it makes sense to go to a fight. ”
Zhao Shanhe had this intention on his face, and asked again: "Killed?"
"No, it's not time to start. Tang Xiaoyu sneered, and hurriedly raised her hand to stop it, her brother-in-law still hadn't changed her old habits, and she said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, just try the depth, the sword is still useful." ”
"What's the use of him. ”
"Brother-in-law, come here with your ears. "Last night, Tang Xiaoyu had an idea and thought of an excellent idea, this idea kills two birds with one stone, kills two birds with one stone, and is a million benefits.
"The head of the house, the master of the hall is here. The maid guarding the door made a report, and lifted the bamboo curtain at the door to welcome Tang Xiaoyu in.
Outside the door, Tang Xiaoyu brushed the folds of her dress, stepped over the threshold after everything was in order, and bypassed an ink floor screen to the hall.
The Southern Jin Dynasty is still fragrant, and also loves to use incense, and the incense is not stingy, but this flower hall has been out of incense four years ago, and the owner here ordered that only the incense should be placed in the house with fruity fragrance in the future.
Today's flower hall of the bean green hexagonal flower pot in the peach and persimmon; the natural fragrance of fresh fruit does not abuse Tang Xiaoyu's nose, she is allergic to incense, as soon as she smells it, she sneezes again and again, how can she not stop, fortunately, Wanling feels sorry for her, and thinks of a way to replace it with fresh fruit.
"Come on, sit here. Wan Ling patted the chair beside him affectionately, and then turned his head and instructed the personal maid: "Xiangli, bring the golden pear juice." ”
"Yes. ”
Tang Xiaoyu sat down beside Wanling with a smile, looked around the flower hall and asked her, "Where is Lao Zhang?"
"I'm going to pick up Aunt Su Fen, just went out, you and his front and back feet. ”
"They have a really good relationship. ”
"Who's to say it's not, young couples are old companions. ”
The two chatted and talked about homely things, and the maid sent a cup of stew to Tang Xiaoyu, Tang Xiaoyu reached out and touched the outer wall of the porcelain cup, warm, she pouted slightly, and muttered: "Why is it not ice." ”
Wan Ling rolled his eyes after hearing this, pointed his index finger at the corner of Tang Xiaoyu's forehead, pushed it gently, and said angrily: "You are a girl, greedy for cold all day long, be careful of being sick when you are old, eat quickly, I let the fragrant pears simmer on the copper stove for a long time, and the sugar ice from Yinan is all put inside." ”
"Yes, Hu Ziniang. Tang Xiaoyu straightened his waist with a lot of matter, looking like a military order.
"Tsk, eat yours. Wan Ling laughed, amused.
Tang Xiaoyu opened the lid with a smile, glanced at the contents of the stew pot, picked up the small cup and drank it all, the posture of the cow licking the peony saw the maid Xiangli on the side cover her mouth and snickered, Wan Ling shook her head helplessly, and handed over the handkerchief.
She said, "Rub." ”
"Thank you. After taking the silk, Tang Xiaoyu handed the porcelain cup to Xiangli, wiped his mouth and ordered: "I'm tired of Xiangli girl, send me a glass of water to relieve my greasy, thank you." ”
"Yes. Xiangli packed up, and Shi Shiran left.
After walking out of the flower hall for a long time, Tang Xiaoyu retracted his gaze, lowered his voice and said to Wan Ling: "Sister Wan, do you hate the person who killed Feng Province in the first place?"
"What, you, you want to ask this when you think of it?" suddenly mentioned the old thing, Wan Ling's face was a little unnatural: "Actually, there is no need to open fragrant pears, she is the son of a family and signed a death deed." ”
"The less people know about what hasn't been done yet, the better. Tang Xiaoyu didn't explain much, and continued to ask her: "I haven't asked you all these years, Feng Xing died for the people, did you hate that treacherous villain." ”
"Truth be told, I hate it, but I don't hate it. Wan Ling hooked the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, as if she was smiling, she picked up the skirt with beads and beads, and said astringently: "Huzi is a child of the Wanjia, Feng Xing has a kindness to Huzi, but he can only have one father, which is your brother-in-law." ”
"I'm actually glad that he didn't die soon. ”
Since he doesn't hate, he just hates it, so there is still room for negotiation, Tang Xiaoyu rested on the marble table with one hand, knocked his fingertips twice, and under Wanling's puzzled gaze, he said: "What you said yesterday, I currently have a candidate, and my brother-in-law has already gone to explore his background." ”
"Seriously, it's ~~"
Wan Ling was overjoyed when she heard this, and she swallowed back the words of inquiry, she seemed to realize that she didn't understand and didn't think thoroughly, she lowered her eyes and thought deeply, and after a while, Wan Ling opened her round eyes and opened her mouth to speak.
Tang Xiaoyu knew that the other party understood, and raised his hand to interrupt her words, this matter, today, here, will stop at the point.
"Sister, this person has a handle in our hands, we can really consider it, when my brother-in-law comes back, you husband and wife will discuss it behind closed doors. ”
"Good. After a while, Wan Ling responded with a slight trembling voice, she was so preoccupied that she wanted to speak again, and finally couldn't hold back her mouth: "But Huzi has an enmity with him." ”
"Wanling!" interrupted her with a low scold.
Tang Xiaoyu's eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, her eyes were sharp, and she approached Wan Ling and warned: "Huzi's surname is Wan, his father's surname is Zhao, you must not say this in front of your brother-in-law." ”
Wan Ling was frightened by Tang Xiaoyu's angry rebuke, staring at her at a loss, and in a moment, her consciousness gradually returned, and her face was as white as paper. Tang Xiaoyu knew that Wanling had already understood that he had said the wrong thing just now, and he opened the fragrant pear by himself, and he also expected that there would be such a thing.
"My brother-in-law is jealous, and if he has it, he can only rot in his stomach. ”
"Yes, you're right. Wan Ling bit his mouth in remorse.
The opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if Tang Xiaoyu doesn't pick it out, Wanling also knows that this is the best candidate sent to the door, and there will never be a second one in a short time.
