Chapter 011: The Ruffian (4)
If you go to bed too early, you will wake up early.
The next day, when it was still dark, Bai Luoshang had already sat up from the bed.
The morning dew in early spring was heavy, and with the rain all night, the temperature was uncomfortably low.
Leaning on the head of the bed, I couldn't help but feel a little chilled, Bai Luoshang wrapped the quilt around his body, and began to be in a daze with nothing to do.
The weather in this place is really strange, and the rain has just stopped for a day, and it starts to fall again.
In the street market outside, because of the rain overnight, the bluestone road was covered with wet mud, and the vendors who came and went stepped on the puddle and walked busily back and forth on the street.
The sky outside the window was getting whiter, and Bai Luoshang leaned against the head of the bed and moved, and was about to get up, but the action paused when the quilt was uncovered.
A muffled cough sounded in the empty room, and although Bai Luoshang had tried his best to suppress his cough, he couldn't restrain his itchy throat no matter what, and the overwhelming cough was like a flood.
The more I tried to hold it, the more I couldn't help but want to cough. Finally, the cough that had been suppressed was coughed out loudly.
Bai Luoshang rubbed his throat and coughed darkly. The incessant coughing made his face turn pale, and at last a sickly red. Coughing and coughing, my brain began to throb suddenly.
Bai Luoshang rubbed his stunned forehead, although he couldn't see it, Bai Luoshang knew that the injury on his back seemed to be deteriorating. He didn't cough very often, and since that injury, he has been suffering from a cough that goes on and on.
By the time there was a knock on the door of the guest room, Bai Luoshang was no longer coughing.
Pulling open the door, a woman grinned at Bai Luosheng, and then squeezed in by herself than waiting for someone to invite.
"Did the girl go to the wrong room? Or did she sleep in the wrong room?" Bai Luoshang looked at the young woman who walked in and asked with some surprise.
"I'm doing something. The woman replied non-questioningly, then squeezed her eyes, and Yan Yan smiled. Not only was she young, but she was also very beautiful, and this gentle smile like a spring breeze almost made Bai Luoshang unstable.
Clearing her throat, Bai Luoshang pretended to be calm and asked, "What is the girl doing?"
"Find someone. The woman sat down, not at the table, but at the bed. She sat on Bai Luoshang's bed, smiled at Bai Luoshang again, and her face became extremely charming.
Bai Luoshang blushed a little, probably because it was a little hot, hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the bed with him, smiling calmly: "Who are you looking for?"
"You. The woman turned sideways to face Bai Luoshang, and said with a smile: "I came to your room, naturally I was looking for you." Is there anyone else in your room?"
This woman is not only beautiful, but also beautiful, and her every smile and every move makes Bai Luosheng's heart move.
Looking at that charming and moving face, Bai Luoshang felt her heart skip a beat.
The woman slowly approached and exhaled: "I'm here to find you, will you kick me out?"
"No, no, no. Bai Luoshang shook her head and smiled: "The girl came to look for me early in the morning, could it be that she was in a hurry?"
The woman Yingying smiled: "It's not very urgent, it's just a little anxious." ”
Bai Luoshang blinked, how anxious was a little anxious?
The woman stared at his dark eyes, her eyebrows straightened, gently touched his face with her hand, and said softly: "Actually, I just want to borrow some silver from you." ”
Bai Luoshang was hot by her, and couldn't help blinking again, and asked her in a daze, "How much to borrow?"
The woman laughed, stretched out her hand to pull his hair again, and said with a smile: "It's not much, just enough money to buy breakfast." ”
Bai Luoshang thought about it, grabbed the woman and said with a smile: "Why don't I invite the girl downstairs to eat, it just so happens that I haven't eaten either." ”
But the woman shook her head and said, "I don't eat here." ”
Bai Luoshang asked her, "Where do you want to eat?" ”
The woman stroked her sideburns and smiled, "I want to eat meat buns." ”
Bai Luoshang was obviously stunned, "The girl likes meat buns?"
The woman shook her head and smiled: "I don't like meat buns, but those men in the yamen seem to like it very much." ”
"Oh?"
"There are a lot of officials outside who are all over the street to catch people selling steamed buns, if they don't like to eat steamed buns, how can they go out early in the morning to find a steamed bun seller?"
Bai Luoshang nodded slowly and said, "That's right, they must like meat buns." ”
The woman also nodded slowly, and said, "So I guess the meat buns must be delicious, because I heard that the Wuxian official in the yamen suddenly couldn't get out of bed this morning because he ate too much last night." ”
Bai Luoshang looked at her and said with a calm smile: "If the girl likes meat buns, why don't you go downstairs with me, it just so happens that this inn is also selling buns." ”
The woman also stared at Bai Luoshang quietly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, and her eyes were full of spring water, as clear as morning dew.
Her eyes seemed to speak, but she didn't speak again, she just looked at Bai Luoshang quietly, no one spoke, no one moved.
After looking at it for a long time, the woman slowly spoke: "I will ask you for silver next time, you remember to bring some money with you." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Bai Luoshang to stay, and walked out by himself.
After the woman left, Bai Luoshang's eyes seemed to show a look of regret, and she sat on the bed alone in a daze, and after a while, she suddenly heard soft footsteps from the door.
He thought it was the woman, his eyes lit up, and he jumped quickly.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and the person who stepped through it was not a woman, but a man, a man who looked more beautiful than a woman.
Qiu Lifeng didn't expect Bai Luoshang to stand by the door, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw his face, which really startled him, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What are you standing here for?"
Bai Luoshang blinked and said, "Of course I'm here to open the door for the eldest prince." ”
Qiu Lifeng looked at him, "But you seem to be a little disappointed after seeing me, do you think that it was someone else who came to push your door?"
Bai Luoshang shook his hand and said embarrassedly: "How can it be? ”
Qiu Lifeng smiled coldly, turned around and said, "Go downstairs to eat." ”
At the dinner table, the two of them each asked for a bowl of porridge and three meat buns.
It was the time for breakfast, and the inn was doing good business.
Diners with oilcloth umbrellas will stomp their feet at the door before entering the door, and the muddy footprints stretch from the door to the inner hall, leaving a place of mud and dust.
Qiu Lifeng slowly chewed the white bread, and suddenly couldn't help but look up at Bai Luosheng who was sitting opposite, and became more and more curious, "Are you in a good mood?"
Bai Luoshang was eating steamed buns while humming a soft tone, and when he heard Qiu Lifeng ask him, he looked up and nodded at him with a smile.
Qiu Lifeng glanced out and said leisurely: "It seems to be very lively today." ”
Bai Luoshang also glanced outside, nodded and said, "It's indeed a lot more lively than yesterday." ”
Qiu Lifeng took a sip of porridge, "They're looking for you?"
Bai Luoshang shook his head and said, "No, they're looking for meat buns." ”
Qiu Lifeng sneered: "Is it because yesterday's meat buns were eaten and indigested?"
Bai Luoshang thought for a while and said, "It seems that because I ate too much, I can't get up this morning." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of hooves outside the door, and then saw a fast horse break in directly from outside the gate.
Bai Luoshang looked over unexpectedly, and Qiu Lifeng also looked over a little unexpectedly.
The horses neighed, alarming the diners.
The brown-clothed man on the horse sat on the saddle without moving, with a big beard on his face and a pair of sharp eyes looking coldly at the full house. With a flash of his eyes, he stared at Bai Luosheng's face, and said in a deep voice: "Two, we meet again, let's go to the yamen with my master to sit down." ”
Bai Luoshang looked helplessly at the big man on the tall horse, "Second Master Wu wants to invite me to the yamen for a drink?"
Wu Wei sneered and said sharply: "Master invites you to eat meat buns." ”
Bai Luoshang looked at the half-bitten bun in his hand in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Yamen also sells breakfast?" But I'm already full, and I'm afraid I won't digest it if I eat it again." ”
Wu Wei raised his hand and smashed it on the table of the two, the table was not smashed, but it smashed over the porridge bowl of Bai Luosheng, and the hot rice porridge was scattered on the table.
Bai Luoshang shook his head and said regretfully: "Second Master Wu has something to say, why waste food." ”
Wu Wei stared, stopped talking, clamped his legs, tightened the reins, and the horse under the seat rushed to Bai Luosheng like an arrow, and as soon as the horse's hooves lifted and fell, they trampled their table to pieces.
Wu Wei stared condescendingly and threatened, "Can I leave now?"
Bai Luoshang was still holding half of the leftover buns, sitting on the stool without blinking, and there was some rice porridge on his clothes.
In order to avoid being touched by the splashing rice porridge, Qiu Lifeng jumped back three steps almost at the moment when the table was smashed, and held half of the uneaten white bread in his hand.
In this commotion, the inn exploded all of a sudden, everyone ran out of the lobby to avoid trouble, and even the shopkeeper hiding in the counter shrank under the counter in a panic and hid.
Bai Luoshang slowly ate the remaining half of the bun, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I told you that the place to eat is not suitable for horseback riding, and your horse can't step in." ”
Wu Wei's face showed a vicious smile, and he laughed and said, "In the entire Pushan County, there is no place where I can't go on horseback." ”
After speaking, as if to prove his words, he took the horse majestically from all sides, went upstairs with a puff, turned around upstairs, and rode down the horse again, raising his chin with great spirits, and stopped in front of Bai Luoshang domineeringly.
Qiu Lifeng slowly finished eating the buns in his hand, wiped his hands, and said with emotion to Bai Luoshang: "In my opinion, you have to be careful in the future." ”
Bai Luoshang blinked and smiled: "Why?"
"Heh!" Qiu Lifeng smiled: "Didn't you see it?"
Bai Luoshang was puzzled: "What do you see?"
Qiu Lifeng said: "Didn't you find out that you have been targeted by dogs?"
Bai Luoshang glanced at Wu Wei quietly and didn't say anything.
Qiu Lifeng smiled coldly, "Not just one dog, there are more than a dozen dogs outside." Didn't you notice that the dogs looked at you twice, too?"
