Volume 1 Mo Ascending Chapter 53 The Sixtieth Birthday of the Deputy Capital Protector
Early in the morning of the second day, Guo Xiaojiu walked out of the restaurant with the troubled water, it stands to reason that this little girl was in a bad mood yesterday, and it should not be much better today.
But as soon as she heard that Guo Xiaojiu was going to the house of Sun Ling, the deputy capital protector, the little girl hurriedly walked out of the house.
Originally, she thought that the money she owed Guo Xiaojiu must have been written down by him in a small notebook one by one, and today she couldn't call his mind anyway.
If you really can't bear the hunger, you can pawn the hairpin from yesterday, at least two or three hundred taels of silver, so that you won't be hungry.
Two or three hundred taels of silver is a lot, and when the time comes, pay him back two hundred taels first. This night's scrutiny, the hairpin is not interested, after all, it is just a decoration, most women, even if they buy the jewelry they like, they are just collected, and they take it out to look at it when they are free, and wear it satisfactorily for a while, and if they are not satisfied, they will continue to throw it back into the corner.
However, if she could go to the mansion of the eldest grandson and deputy capital protector to eat and drink, she naturally couldn't wait to follow her.
On the way there, Guo Xiaojiu kept trying to tease this little girl, after all, it was really boring to talk to herself.
This girl seems to have her mouth sealed today, no matter what Guo Xiaojiu says, she never answers, just stares at him coldly.
"Well, you're back to being deaf and dumb this time. Guo Xiaojiu muttered half-jokingly, slowing down a little, deliberately going hand in hand with the disaster.
This girl also pretended to be indifferent, but her feet were also a little slower, and she was a head behind Guo Xiaojiu.
Guo Xiaojiu slowed down a little more, and the disaster was still a head behind Guo Xiaojiu.
When Guo Xiaojiu slowed down again, his back was pushed hard by a strong force, and then he bared his teeth and looked back a few times: "I said Disaster Girl, you can't do it, I just want to say a few words to you." ”
"Take your go, say one more word, and cut your tongue off. Wo Shui glared at Guo Xiaojiu fiercely, and turned his head away a little angrily, not looking at him.
"Okay. Guo Xiaojiu hurriedly turned his head and grimaced.
Since this fierce little devil has not done anything to him until now, Guo Xiaojiu guessed that he should be very safe during this time, and this girl should have just entered the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't know how this realm came about.
Even if she wanted to make a move, it was estimated that Guo Xiaojiu would mention the matter of five hundred taels, and this little devil could only hold back in her heart.
After a while, the two of them came to the outside of this capital protection mansion. Sun Ling, the deputy chief protector of the Tang Wandering Soul Castle, is a close confidant of the current Yang Beard of the Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, in the early years, not to mention his fame on the battlefield in Mobei, he is also one of the rare famous generals.
This deputy protector likes to be lively very much, and whenever there is an important festival on weekdays, he must celebrate it with the whole city, and today must be a big day.
Even, the people in this city, as long as they go to the side gate of the deputy capital to protect the mansion, report to the steward of the house: "I wish the eldest grandson and the deputy capital to protect the blessings of the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan." There were ten copper plates that went into the pocket.
Guo Xiaojiu didn't receive the invitation, but he still swaggered into the mansion, if nothing else, because a notice outside the mansion was posted: "Anyone who can beat one of the two guards at the door can enter the mansion unconditionally." ”
Just a knife, the knife came out of the sheath, and a strand of the guard's hair that stopped Guo Xiaojiu was cut off, and the guard immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly let go: "Please!"
The two men in the back, seeing Guo Xiaojiu like this, also wanted to follow suit, but they were subdued by the two guards who already had some precautions.
Naturally, the guards at the door also knew that even if they were a little defensive just now, they would not be able to win against the young Sabre Lang.
Some of those who understood the Tao of it exchanged heads and ears, speculating with each other about the identity of the person just now.
Entering the main gate, it is the huge courtyard in the deputy capital palace, and at this time, the courtyard is full of round tables, divided into left and right sides, and most of the tables are already full of people.
Some of the people in front of them are all characters with some identities, and those who are close to the gate are all Jianghu children.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a tall circular arena with a radius of three meters. This eldest grandson deputy capital protector was still an old man who was obsessed with the rivers and lakes in his early years, and this arena was of course for everyone in the arena to drink to a good time and help the fun.
Guo Xiaojiu took the troubled water, casually found a table and sat down, and it didn't take a while, and the rest of the tables were also full of people, all of whom were Jianghu children.
I have to admire the strength of this Soul Castle, in the territory of Datang, except for those few heroic cities that have long been famous in the rivers and lakes, there are really few that can be comparable to the forces of the rivers and lakes in this Soul Castle.
The steward of the courtyard gave a few words to his subordinates, and the subordinates hurriedly ran to the gate of the deputy capital palace, and soon after, several guards had quickly run back to the courtyard and closed the gate tightly.
Outside the gate, you can still vaguely see that there are some rivers and lakes.
These people who entered the courtyard, between the same table, there were always a few familiar faces who knew each other, and during this time, they also talked to each other.
There are also people who are as bored as Guo Xiaojiu and Wo Shui, except for the first time when they sat down, they met a few people at the same table, and then they didn't say anything, just listened to the whispers of these Jianghu children around them.
Soon after the closing of the door, the servants of the mansion brought a plate of sumptuous meals, and it was almost noon when these people entered the mansion.
The meal is sumptuous, and no one in these rivers and lakes is polite to anyone, except for some of the leading figures in the city closest to the depths of the mansion, who are all bowing their heads and pulling the food.
Fortunately, this eldest grandson and deputy Duhu should have earned a lot of money over the years, and he is not a stingy master, until these Jianghu sons and daughters have eaten a full meal, so they stopped serving food.
Sitting beside Guo Xiaojiu, he patted his bulging belly and began to meditate.
Several people at the same table are some rough men from the rivers and lakes, looking at the troubled water from the beginning of the serving, to the current behavior, they are all surprised, seeing that the little girl is not very old, this amount of food is even bigger than them.
Even the few men who quietly cast admiring eyes at the troubled water before were a little embarrassed at this time, and they must be thinking in their hearts, how can this girl be so edible, if the family really raises such an ancestor, it is actually not bad......
Guo Xiaojiu looked at the men at this table, wanting to laugh but not daring to make a sound, in case it caused public anger, it was not what he wanted to see.
It was also in this courtyard that when most of the people had put down their chopsticks, an old man came from the depths of the mansion, accompanied by a handsome boy, and on the other side, a beggar woman.
Except for the old man Guo Xiaojiu who started at the beginning, he didn't know it, and Guo Xiaojiu had met with the two on the left and the right.
The begging woman had just seen it yesterday, and Izuku Lianhu looked at the courtyard a few times, as if she didn't see Guo Xiaojiu, but she was not in a hurry, and still followed behind the old man expressionlessly.
Another son-in-law, a white shirt, is very high-spirited, and there is a valuable jade pendant hanging on his waist, who else can he be if he is not that son.
The old man should be the deputy capital protector Sun Ling who holds the greatest authority in this Wandering Soul Castle, and this eldest grandson and deputy capital protector does not look as old as his actual age, but looks like a man in the prime of life who is only more than forty years old. However, among the strands of hair, occasionally one or two strands of gray appeared, betraying him.
The eldest grandson's deputy capital looked very kind, not like a battle-hardened old general, and in the very front and center of the courtyard, someone had already hurriedly moved a chair.
The eldest grandson and deputy Duhu stood in front of the chair and arched his hand at the people in the courtyard: "Today is the 60th birthday of the old man, you can come to the house, the old man is very happy, the old man is not a sour Confucian, he will not say some polite words, I hope you don't care." ”
After that, the eldest grandson and deputy capital protector sat on the chair, and the guests in the courtyard, regardless of their status, did not dare to say much, but dared to echo and say: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, but I have to wish the eldest grandson and deputy capital to protect the blessings like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan." ”
"Whoever is who, I wish the eldest grandson and the deputy capital to protect the year and the year. ”
“......”
After all, this place is Mobei, and it does not have the bearing of some literati and scholars in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty or the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally most of them are turned over and over, just one or two sentences in their mouths.
Listening to the blessings in the field, the eldest grandson and deputy capital never got tired of listening to it, and happily looked at the faces in this one by one, which were either familiar or had never been seen at all.
It wasn't until the eldest grandson and vice president raised their hands that the hustle and bustle slowly quieted down.
