Chapter 363: Chang'an Silent Night
The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the smoke is thick and the fire is strong.
The hustle and bustle drives away a lot of loneliness in the night, the smoke and dust bring the bright moon and light to add a touch of oil paint to the darkness, and the white embroidery leaves with Luo Jue in the middle of the night. Tonight, Xia Xun talked to her a lot, but she was very careful from beginning to end, and there was no one that involved her family affairs, because Xia Xun knew that she couldn't say it. It's not because I'm cautious and jealous, but because it's the sadness of Bai Xiu, and it shouldn't be mentioned by outsiders.
The night is getting deeper.
In the courtyard, several men who were too drunk to drink fell one after another, and were dragged into the building, and laid out quilts like salted fish in a row. Xia Xun and Mo Xian had never been interested in fighting wine, so after Bai Xiu left, they also went back to the room early to wash up and sleep. The silent night seems to be about to become a new day, but tonight there are many people in Chang'an Sifang City, who can't sleep because of the arrival of Xia Xun and Mo Xian...
North, Hallym Temple.
The letterhead is piled up, and the white veil is ethereal.
Write a few lines of small characters with a pen, scribble and change and then put a few black and white chess pieces.
The snow-white shadow walked out of the stairs and stopped slowly in front of the white veil.
The sword eyebrows were cold, and he looked at the white shadow behind the white veil.
"I dreamed of him again. ”
"Oh. ”
"You don't ask?"
"There's no need. ”
"Why?"
"He's already in Kyoto, right?"
"I want to see him. ”
"Oh. ”
“......”
East, the military department of Shangshufu.
The dim candlelight pulled the six figures from the front of the hall all the way out of the threshold, and the official robes with the blue sea and blue sky reflected the light and shadow, sometimes sunrise, sometimes sunset, just like this people's hearts, which could not be calmed for a long time.
"Your Majesty has no plans to take him for the time being. ”
"But His Majesty did not want to see him rampant. ”
"Then what if you do the open things in the dark?"
"Light and dark don't matter, the key is to keep quiet. For example, the hands and feet of the Criminal Department are very sloppy today. His Majesty was very angry, so he transferred him to the military department. ”
"And what does Your Majesty mean?"
"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and figure out the truth and the truth. ”
"In what name?"
"Nothing. ”
"Who will do it?"
"Prince. ”
“......”
South, the Huang family's mansion.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the maid quietly closed the door of the house. Guards patrol the trail with a knife-like croaking of insects.
In the creek courtyard, the jade wisp table, the lamp makes tea and puts a few plates of vegetarian fruits. There are old people holding books and reading, there are strong people blowing fans and cool breezes, and there are young people boiling water and pouring tea. Three generations are in the same house, and it is safe and quiet, and there are things to talk about from time to time.
"Today he came, and the criminal department wanted to deal with him on the way into the city, but he was pecked by the bird instead of hitting the bird, which was a bit imposing. ”
"These old Cai told me everything. ”
"A few days ago, the two mothers-in-law and grandchildren of the Yin family came to me and wanted to buy our two shares of the village with Wucheng Fangzi in the Southern Regions, but I didn't respond. ”
"No, it's right. ”
"But I think since Xia Yuan has settled in the south, shouldn't we move to the south as well? ”
Talking softly, I can't blow a few thoughts.
The old man turned the page of the book, took a cup of hot tea from the jade table in one hand, and took it carefully.
The old man chewed the sweetness of the tea, and the old man glanced at the young man who was boiling water on the side: "Xiao Qizi, what do you think?"
The young man put the new carbon aside and replied: "Daddy's idea is good, but my grandson thinks that this is the next policy, and it must be done as a last resort." ”
The strong man stopped fanning, skimmed his eyes and asked, "Why?"
"Did Daddy ever think about the price?"
"There must be something to think about. ”
"Then Daddy should know the point. ”
The purple sand jade carved pot is full of tea, and the boiling water is like the sound of fried beans, so the few people lift the teapot from the stove and hold it to the center of the tea table.
"After more than 100 years of hard work, the wealth accumulated by our Huang family is enough to shake half of the Tang Dynasty. From armor, birds, and horses to firewood, rice, oil, and salt, 180 of the 360 lines are our monopoly, and the remaining 180 lines are more or less our prices. Twenty percent of the people of the Tang Dynasty rely on our branches and leaves to support their families, two percent are closely involved in our business, and the remaining sixty percent deal with us every day. The so-called wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and the reason why we can still be safe and sound depends on the choice of our grandfather back then. And now Daddy wants to put some of the eggs in the basket to the south basket, which is like this teapot full of boiling water...", the young man picked up the teapot regardless of the hot heat and poured the tea on the tea table: "If you want to pour out the tea leaves inside, you will inevitably pour out a puddle of hot tea first, and if the water is too hot, it will hurt others and burn yourself." In the end, I don't know how much tea you can pour out, but you will definitely have to apologize, and even have to pay for this purple sand pot, which is more than worth the loss. ”
The words were said lightly, and the young man wiped the water traces on the tea table with a cotton cloth.
The feather fan shook lightly again, and the strong man thought without speaking.
The old man nodded with satisfaction and closed the book: "You see, your son is much smarter than you. ”
The strong man glared at the young man silently, quite unconvinced, and the young man pretended not to see it and looked aside. The strong man said: "I have already considered what he said. But the tree moves the dead and the living, twenty years ago you were lucky enough to hit the treasure, can you guarantee the same hit this time?"
"Inevitably. The old man simply returned.
"Are you still so sure?"
"It's not about being sure, it's about being careful. ”
The old man put the book on the handle of the rocking chair and slowly stood up.
Lazily stretched out his waist pole and said in a deep voice: "Move, you must move." But we're following so many people, what are we going to do if we go? So, we have to come up with a foolproof plan before we can move. I can't be as ruthless and unrighteous as Lao Yin was back then, leaving thousands of children in Jianggu to pat his ass and leave. Businessmen are very profitable, but love is priceless, you two know, right?"
"Yes. ”
“......”
The young man nodded lightly, the strong man was silent, and the old man raised his head to look at the bright moon and think about it.
In the Huang family's mansion, the three generations of Qing talked, although there were ups and downs, but they were also calm, but the hidden waves were so powerful that they should never be spoken to outsiders. The words are bright and the moon is dull, and the vast is overshadowed...
West, Zhenwu Mountain.
When the bright moon shines newly, the ancient maple falls old leaves.
On the top of the majestic mountain stands the Optimus Stone Sword, and the moon shadow seems to be a little cold.
The traces of the past have been covered with moss, but the hatred in the memories has not been washed away by time, and the prosperity of Chang'an is even more spiritual.
Fanghua is gone...
"Old Xue..."
"What's the matter?"
"The whereabouts of those five people have been found. ”
"Where?"
"They disguised themselves as wandering merchants and entered the city in the evening, and now live at the West Gate Inn of the Great Xiangguo Temple in the south of the city. ”
"I remember that near the West Gate, there seem to be a lot of northerners living in it today, right?"
"Yes, but they don't seem to know each other, they don't have any contact. ”
"Keep watching. ”
"Yes. ”
As expected, there were no surprises.
The arrival of a teenager made Chang'an City, which was not peaceful, even more worried. It was like a bird that had not yet grown up and flew into the deserted forest, startling the trees for a while, and at the same time arousing the scrutiny of countless forest beasts.
The stream is murmuring, and the fish and shrimp are lurking.
The forest wind is cold, and the beasts are low.
The tiger wolf is restrained and killing, and the eagle eagle is waiting for the opportunity in the treetops, waiting for the hunt...
