Chapter 6 Uninvited Guests
The twilight is even worse, the last trace of the sunset on the horizon shines on the corridor in front of the Xuan, and the rows of quaint pillars in the corridor near the lake shine together with the lake, and the lake water has always been used as a wedding dress by the troubadours to set off the scarcity of the moon and stars or the feelings of longing, but it has to be said that the large golden light does make people feel warm.
The evening breeze from the deep mountains blows through the aroma of banana leaves outside the pavilion, which makes people feel at ease.
Six people sit on a round table of mahogany carved grape pattern inlaid stone in the Xuan, and all the dishes on the table are Yangzhou famous dishes Babao gourd, colorful butterfly flying, pipa prawn, Yangzhou Wuting Bridge, etc. These dishes are all made by themselves in spring, summer, autumn and winter, they don't cook often, and I heard that Yuxuan originally had the best cook, but today is an exception, because it is their son's best friend Qing Xiaolai.
Although it is common for Qing Xiaonian to pick lips and mouths, they actually understand better than anyone else that others will look at him with a strange look when they see their son-in-law, but Qing Xiaonian never, spring, summer, autumn and winter also know that Qing Xiaonian is Childe's best friend, and every time Qing Xiaonian celebrates the year, Childe will always be happy for several days.
is good for Gongzi, that is, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all four of them think so.
"Celebrate the New Year, let's toast you again. Chunlan picked up the wine from the Western Regions and said slightly drunk.
Originally, this wine in the Western Regions was far inferior to Du Kanglie in the south of the Yangtze River, but the evening breeze blowing slowly outside the Xuan added a little bit of the truth that everyone is drunk if they are not drunk.
Qing Xiaonian looked at the little blushing and drunk Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and picked up the wine glass again, and said with a wry smile: "Still drinking, I see that you are deliberately trying to get me drunk and see if I am embarrassed." ”
Although he said so, Qing Xiaonian still picked up the luminous cup in return, since it is a beautiful wine and beautiful woman, how can there be a reason not to drink. Qing Xiaonian must not be drunk, this few glasses of wine are like drinking water to him, thinking in his heart, "I can't fight with you, and all four of you are not my opponent when you drink." ”
Xia He, who drank it all, said: "If you spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, we just want to respect you tonight." ”
Qiu Ju also said: "That is, if I really wanted to get you drunk, the four of us would have drunk with you one by one." ”
Qing Xiaonian thought that this was really the case, it seemed that he thought about others narrowly, and hurriedly said: "It seems that I am Qing Xiaonian villain, then I will punish myself with four cups to make amends to the four girls!"
Spring, summer, autumn and winter are full of a glass of wine for Qing Xiaonian, and Qing Xiaonian also picked up the wine glass and drank it all without saying a word.
Chunlan said: "It's pretty much the same, to the point where it looks like a chivalrous man." ”
After three rounds of drinking, the four of them were also completely drunk in spring, summer, autumn and winter, originally they usually didn't drink a drop of alcohol, and they would drink so many cups when they saw Qing Xiao, but they were so drunk so thoroughly after such a few glasses of wine.
Wan Qiuxuan looked at the drunken state of the four of them, his eyes showed infinite warmth, and said: "Qing Shaoxia is really charming, as long as you come, the four of them will be drunk." ”
Qing Xiaonian looked at Wan Qiuxuan, whose complexion was as white as mutton fat, and said quietly: "I don't think it has anything to do with me, you can't drink wine, and people will accompany you in spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”
Wan Qiuxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, remembering that Master Yuanzhen had warned him not to drink alcohol in the past few days when he woke up.
Qing Xiaonian looked at the wine in the cup through the luminous glass through the moonlight, and the purple wine was like a brilliant jewel shining brightly, and Qing Xiaonian was fascinated by it.
Wan Qiuxuan said: "You seem to have something on your mind." ”
Qing Xiaonian was surprised: "How do you know?"
Wan Qiuxuan smiled and said, "You are different from others, they will only use alcohol to kill their sorrows, and you will only become more sober the more you drink." ”
Qing Xiaoqing sighed and said, "If only there weren't so many idle things in the world." ”
Wan Qiuxuan said lightly: "Many times, it is you who go to find trouble by yourself. Looking at Qing Xiaonian, who had a sad face, he continued: "Let's talk about it, maybe I can help a little." ”
Qing Xiaonian glanced at Wan Qiuxuan helplessly, he really knew himself too well, and the matter of tracking the whereabouts of Princess Xiuyi was really taken down by himself, although Sui Lao did give him some benefits, but in the final analysis, he still wanted to help Sui Lao Xuan, otherwise no one would be able to stop him if he wanted to leave at that time. Qing Xiaonian will definitely be willing to stick a knife in his ribs for his friends, which is why his name is particularly popular everywhere.
"I'll show you something and see what clues you can discern. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were sleeping on the table, and Qing Xiaonian pushed Wan Qiuxuan and walked towards the bright room.
Under the bright candlelight, a priceless "Heavenly King Sending His Son" is hung on the wall, with the birth of Shakya as the center, and the situation of the worlds of heaven and earth is vivid. However, at this moment, Qing Xiaonian had no intention of appreciating it, and told Wan Qiuxuan about the ins and outs of the matter when he was in the palace, and then took out the suspicious letter he took from the prince and handed it to Wan Qiuxuan, Wan Qiuxuan took the letter and sniffed it first, and then took out the rice paper in the envelope, which was still the crooked word.
Gold!
Qing Xiaonian said: "I, including the Jiangnan Gold and Silver Gods, all agree that this word is to ask for money, but the strange thing is that there is no transaction location and wealth on this letter, and the scribbled words are also a little strange." ”
Wan Qiuxuan nodded, obviously thinking the same as Qing Xiaonian, so he asked again, "Are there any other clues?"
Qing Xiaonian shook his head, holding his forehead with his hand, and his slender index finger caressing the cinnabar mole in the center of his eyebrows, he has always had such a habit when thinking about problems. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that something was wrong, he originally asked Wan Qiuxuan to give him an idea, but now he asked about himself, so he said with a smile: "Didn't you ask you to help me get an idea? Tell me what you think." ”
Wan Qiuxuan shook his head, very honest and calm, he really couldn't think of anything else with this word, precisely because there were too many things related to gold, for example, from Liuying Town out of the city to the northeast across the Jinma Bridge is Jinshui Town, there is a gold-lettered signboard of a Jinshui restaurant There is such a gold-poured lion's head, Wan Qiuxuan didn't dare to draw conclusions to mislead Qing Xiaonian and let him pounce again, twisted the letter paper in his hand, flashed his inspiration, and said: "I don't know if you have found a detail." ”
"What details?" Qing Xiaonian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wan Qiuxuan urgently.
Wan Qiuxuan said lightly: "Paper!"
Qing Xiaonian was puzzled: "Paper?"
Wan Qiuxuan nodded and continued: "Yes, it's this piece of rice paper, its material is quite thin, but its characteristics are also here, thin and not transparent. ”
Qing Xiaonian took the rice paper and looked at it, sure enough, it was crooked and heavy, but there was no trace of ink dispersion on the back of the rice paper, Qing Xiaonian waved his hand and motioned for Wan Qiuxuan to continue.
"And if you look at the words above, you also use the best ink in ink, which is not cheap together. ”
Qing Xiaonian said: "Are you saying that we should start with these two?"
Wan Qiuxuan shook the paper fan in his hand, nodded and smiled: "Exactly." ”
Qing Xiaonian was overjoyed, although it didn't look a little too sidelined, but he finally had some eyebrows.
Wan Qiuxuan continued: "As far as I know, this kind of fine paper and ink is generally not used by ordinary people, and there is only one family selling it within a radius of fifty miles. ”
"Where?"
"Linqing study in Yangzhou. ”
Qing Xiaonian nodded secretly, this time I came to listen to Yuxuan and gained a lot, sure enough, the reader's observation is indeed very strong in this aspect, Qing Xiaonian is ashamed of himself.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the roof, and the sound was minimal, but Qing Xiaonian was not an ordinary person, and he could catch the slightest hint of wind and grass.
"Who's up there!" Qing Xiaonian snorted.
The man in black on the roof never dreamed that he would be discovered, and as soon as Qing Xiaonian drank it, a few pieces of rubble fell from his feet and fell to the ground in an instant.
