"There are too many tombs of princes and nobles on the north mountain, and there are too many parts of the Gaomen family guarding the tombs. Now Luoyang is barely peaceful, and the Faqiu Zhonglang surnamed Cao is still playing the trick of strict law enforcement to deceive his reputation, and I really can't blend into the depths of their well-defended Beibi Mountain, so I am not talking to you about hiring a car, but about borrowing your number one. ”

"Don't look at me wearing body clothes, it's all a job necessity. In this Luoyang City, there are many Qingliu poor officials who go to the street to buy vegetables in person, not to mention that I haven't even mixed in Taixue. ”

Under the old locust tree on the edge of the post station, the green-shirted guest squatted on the ground with the old soldier with a swollen forehead, and lobbied earnestly.

However, what year is this talking about, and the poor and sour turban has not appeared in front of the people of Luoyang for many years. Nowadays, the big turbans in Luoyang City are popular to evaluate Junyan and compare family history, if it is a great-grandfather, there is no history of thorns in the family, and there is a big man above the state pastor, and they are embarrassed to greet people when they meet.

As if feeling the veteran's suspicious eyes, the man in the green shirt smiled dryly and pulled the somewhat funny mustache on his chin, and cut off several short whiskers as if he had made up his mind: "It is true that there is a risk in using a stagecoach without permission, but I can't find anyone else but you." ”

Is it that you can't find a place to hire a car, or you can't find someone to hire?

Luoyang people are accustomed to seeing the popularity of the court and the opposition, and they have also seen the ups and downs of honor and disgrace in the court. Even if the veteran is only half of Luoyang, he can hear the hints hidden in the words of the green-shirted guest.

"In those days, the price of hired workers was very high. ”

"The key is to be fair, otherwise no business will be negotiated. ”

The green shirt guest added good-naturedly, as if he was not a poor sour man who had just eaten and drunk from the mansion opposite, but an important minister who was in the court to guide the country.

You see, even this kind of poor sourness in the rivers and lakes naturally carries the pride of the people in the capital, what are the poor afraid of, and the temperament is still not lost.

It's a pity that the people who have been guarding the post station for many years have seen too many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods outside the city in Luoyang City, and they have long been surprised by this kind of hard inflated bearing, and the veteran waved his hand boredly, interrupting the nonsense behind the green shirt: "You are tired of squatting for a long time with such a heavy food box, find a clean mat, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

"Do you want to prepare a bottle of wine to accompany the little lady?"

"If so, I'm sorry for it. ”

"Then it's settled. ”

......

......

In a prosperous place like Luoyang, where the Son of Heaven is prosperous, it is not uncommon for the post man to take leave to operate the business of chariots, ships, salt and wine, but when the veteran followed the Tsing Yi guest into the door and entered the wooden hall, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for the copper coin that was delivered to the post steward in advance.

There is a niche in the hall, there is a case in the niche, the case is covered with the cheapest and the most inferior Caihou paper, there is an inkstone on the side of the paper, and the inferior ink in the inkstone exudes a faint ink smell, just like the smell of the veteran on the wooden stick of the green shirt.

A petite figure was crouching on the case, holding a tube of goose feather sharpened pens, staring intently at a roll of old bamboo slips in front of him. It seems that along the way to this calligraphy, the writer is not good at it in general.

However, it was a young girl who wrote, with a pair of maiden buns with black hair like crow feathers, and a pair of braids carefully combed into a ring under the bun, which was very different from the most popular fallen horse bun at the moment, but it was very wonderful to reveal a delicate jasper taste.

The veteran glanced at the poor and sour man in the green shirt and sleeve mustache next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, and said in his heart that such a talented little lady can not be raised by a gangster like you, who cheats and cheats everywhere, shouldn't it be that the beloved maid of a noble family ran around the dock with you?

However, this back gives people endless reverie The girl listened to the footsteps and looked back, her face was beautiful and soft, but her eyes revealed a sense of incompleteness.

"Eh, that's good, Uncle, you're back. ”

As soon as the word "uncle" came out, the upside-down dream that had just been born in the veteran's heart suddenly dissipated without a trace, and looking at the face of the green shirt guest who was still tender no matter how he looked at it, but suddenly became old because of a handful of awkward mustaches, he suddenly felt admiration.

took the girl's family to run the rivers and lakes, and let the little girl look so gratifying, a prosperous husband with an IKEA, this elder should be really good.

The green-shirted guest listened to the girl calling him uncle, and he didn't respond happily, but just rolled his eyes and said as if he was doing business:

"Well, it's back. Also, how many times have I said it, in front of outsiders, you still call me sir. ”

"Sir, that's a delicate title. The girl put down the quill and said with a grin, "If you really want to call Uncle like that, I'm afraid that Uncle will be tied up and burned by those guys who don't like the girl." ”

Saying a joke that the veteran didn't understand, the girl turned around and saluted the veteran: "The little woman's name is from Wuyang Village, Hanoi County, her surname is Sima, and her single name is a bell character, may I ask what this big brother is called?"

“...... No name, no surname, others only call me a veteran. ”

A veteran is a veteran, who has eaten military rations for many years, but he doesn't have his own name, and he doesn't even know where his clan is. This kind of thing can't be said, it doesn't need to be said, and there is no way to do it.

And the green shirt obviously doesn't intend to let the girl continue to play on the topic in such a trivial matter.

opened the lid of the food box in his hand, picked out the wine and food in the box, and took the first few futons of the shrine.

The food box contains simmered bamboo shoots, braised shredded radish, candied steamed rice and a honey-blended soup dish that tastes like a sweet potato like a golden brown color. For example, the short whiskers on the lips of the Yellow River carp that enhance the flavor of bamboo shoots, or the double-petaled peony on the braised radish shredded that is carefully discharged by the chef with a golden fried egg skin. This is no longer like the standard of ordinary Haoqiang's food, but it seems to be a grade that the hot Huangmen mink can barely reach.

However, the green-shirted guest and the girl just perfunctorily picked a few dishes, and their minds were all on the conversation:

"Mr. Zhao's cooks are getting more and more confused, and the peony and swallow dishes all depend on the kung fu of hanging broth, and they should use the newly slaughtered old hen to be hung with high-quality Pishan fresh mushrooms. Not only are the mushrooms in the Zhao family's kitchen dry goods every other year, but even the chickens are gelding roosters that have passed the first seven years!"

The little girl waved the bamboo chopsticks in her hand angrily, and loudly pointed at the cooking skills of the chef of the Zhao Mansion, obviously very picky about the plate of soup and delicious stewed radish shreds.

While serving the dishes to the only guest, the green-shirted guest replied calmly: "Because today's market is the most expensive gelding, Lao Zhao will definitely use the gelding chicken to stew the soup." If this year's era name was not the fifth year of Guanghe of the Great Han Emperor, but the fifth year of the Heavenly Grant of the Great Zhou Zetian Emperor, he would definitely remove the gelding rooster and use the old hen stew instead. ”

"Uncle, your joke is so cold, the veteran uncle can't understand it. ”

Although he couldn't understand which country the emperor of the Great Zhou Zetian was in the mouth of the green-shirted guest, the veteran could hear it clearly, but the green-shirted man and the little girl were clearly teasing the hot Huangmen eunuchs in Nadumen!

The green-shirted man squinted his eyes and swept the uncomfortable veterans sitting there, spread his hands, and replied extremely scoundrelly: "What I said is all anecdotes from ancient times, and there is no history of it, how can he, a simple and kind working person, understand such a cold joke?"

The veteran really didn't understand the sour joke of the Tsing Yi Ke, but he understood the truth that everyone in Luoyang understood. Those who dare not take the eunuchs seriously at this moment when the disaster of the party is still fierce must be people with a very powerful background.

The green shirt is polite, the little girl is calm, how do you look at it, how do you look at it, how do you look at it, the uncle and niece who don't match are obviously like running the rivers and lakes and live in a deserted shrine that has not been visited for a long time, but they don't see the embarrassment of the people in the rivers and lakes at all, but they fall very freely. Regardless of the others, the little girl's tricky and picky tongue is not something that ordinary small families can afford, not to mention that this pair of uncles and nieces who seem to be just ordinary people have the courage to use the eunuch in Beijing to arrange literary crepe jokes.

With such insight and such a demeanor, isn't it the virtue of the ancestors, so that I met the noble man of the white dragon fish suit?

Thinking of this, the veteran couldn't sit still any longer, but the green shirt man and the little girl didn't seem to mention that he helped rent a carriage and horses, but just talked about the situation in the court, and they didn't shy away from having such a big person as him on the side.

Finally, the veteran himself couldn't help it, jumped up and sang a fat song to the green shirt: "Sir, the villain knows that Mr. wants to hire a car to go out of the city, please stay with Mr. and Miss for a while, and I will find a good one for Mr." ”

It's just that he didn't know that when he was doing it, the green shirt guest and the little girl exchanged a meaningful look.
