Chapter Ninety-Two: Riders
With the means of transportation, the noon sun will naturally not have any effect on Zhang Xiaohua, sitting in the carriage, and then thinking about the scene of the last time he and his second brother went all the way to Pingyang City, Zhang Xiaohua said secretly: "No wonder people are willing to live in a big city, this taste is really different, and the quality of life is high." In the countryside, even if you want to enjoy this, there are no conditions, but you don't know how much money you need to take the bus? ”
The sound of horses' hooves "clicked" sounded, about two tea times, the tall Pingyang City Gate was already in sight, seeing this Pingyang City again, Zhang Xiaohua had no previous surprise, it seemed to be taken for granted, it has been turned a blind eye, people's habits are indeed terrible, this is just the third time to see it, there is no novelty, if you face it every day, even if it is a precious thing, it will be ignored.
The carriage entered the city, Zhang Xiaohua thought it would drive in the direction of the carriage and horses, but unexpectedly turned in another direction, although Zhang Xiaohua did not remember the road, but the general direction was still understood, he asked Ma Jing puzzled: "Brother Ma, the carriage and horse travel don't seem to be in this direction, is it because I remember wrong?"
Ma Jing had already lost his temper from being tormented by Zhang Xiaohua's strange question, looked at him, and said angrily: "The carriage and horse shop are not in this direction, but Zuixianglou is in this direction." ”
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he quickly stood up, fortunately he was still short, and he almost touched the roof of the carriage, he startled Ma Jing at this stop, and asked, "What are you doing, brother?"
Zhang Xiaohua blushed and said, "Brother Ma, I really don't want to go to Zuixianglou, you better let me get off." ”
Ma Jing looked at Zhang Xiaohua's embarrassment, hahadaxiao, and said to the front of the carriage: "Coachman, please stop and let my brother go down." ”
The carriage stopped in response, and Zhang Xiaohua quickly jumped out of the carriage, lest the carriage continue to go and take him to Zuixianglou.
Ma Jing leaned out of the car and asked, "Brother, do you know the address of the carriage and horse shop?" You can go to the carriage to find the carriage when you go back, don't forget, and walk back, in addition, where do you go, you can let the carriage deliver it in a while." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Got it, Brother Ma, you don't need to send it in a carriage, you just remember to go back early in the evening." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the girl ran away.
"Come back early, brother is so easy to come out, it's strange to be back early." Ma Jing said darkly, with a lewd smile on his face.
Zhang Xiaohua ran along the road for a while, feeling far away from the carriage, so she stopped and asked the guy in the roadside shop about the direction of the Lotus Dart Bureau.
Although it was noon, the flow of people on the wide road in Pingyang City was still weaving, Zhang Xiaohua struggled to squeeze around in the crowd, he squeezed while paying attention to whether anyone was worried about the silver money in his arms, although there was no money bag on his waist, but even if he put it in his arms, he still couldn't rest assured, and it was really funny to think that he and his second brother could meet a thief when they went shopping for the first time.
Just thinking about it, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be stunned, she really said that Cao Cao Cao was here, and he didn't know anyone in Pingyang City at all, this figure was not Zhang Xiaohu, it must be the thief who was almost caught last time. Seeing the thief walking in front of him, Zhang Xiaohua felt ridiculous, thinking that he must be sneaking around with two eyes on someone else at this moment, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but speed up her pace.
Sure enough, in front of the thief was a scholar, who took a folding fan, while fanning, while looking around, whenever there was a novel stall on the side of the road, he would definitely stop, sometimes look at the old books on sale, sometimes buy a little pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the money bag around his waist swayed around his waist from time to time, and the thief also shook his head. Look at the thief is also with a paragraph, no haode mobile phone meeting, at this time, just in front of the flow of people to see less, or a fork in the road, the thief's pace will be accelerated, about to approach the unsuspecting scholar, behind Zhang Xiaohua is not dry, naturally to stop, but at this time Zhang Xiaohua has more eyes, remember last time I caught the thief, but a group of people in the back surrounded by, or was covered to escape, Zhang Xiaohua looked around, presumably these people are also around, if they rush forward, they may be able to catch the thief, but a group of people, they are not people's opponents, last time there was a second brother, people did not shootI remember that when I came out, Liu Kai and Mr. Liu repeatedly told me that it is haode to act bravely, but you must first consider protecting yourself, what can I do?
Seeing that the thief's hand had been stretched out, the scholar was still looking up at the signboard on the side of the road, and suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up and shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Xiaohua's voice was very loud, and several people around him looked back at him, especially those surnamed Zhang, the scholar also turned back in response, and when he saw the scholar turn around, the thief quickly retracted his hand, pretending to buy something, and looked down at the small stall next to him.
Seeing the scholar turn around, Zhang Xiaohua himself was also stunned, this person Zhang Xiaohua really knew, it turned out to be the scholar Li Jinfeng who entered the city with him in a carriage a month ago, and it was really a coincidence that he didn't write a book, and he knew so many, including this thief, and I saw two today. Zhang Xiaohua stepped forward with a smile, Li Jinfeng was also very surprised, although he was not very impressed by Zhang Xiaohua, but after all, he had been in the same car for so long, and he was more than a month, and when he saw Zhang Xiaohua rushing over to him and looking at others, no one seemed to answer, and it was estimated that he was looking for himself.
Zhang Xiaohua went up and called, "Brother Li is good." ”
Li Jinfeng asked in surprise: "Are you Zhang... Zhang Xiaohua, right, I haven't seen you for almost a month, I almost forgot your name, but I'm better than you, why did you call me Brother Zhang just now?"
At this time, the peeking next to him saw that the two knew each other, and besides, Zhang Xiaohua was not the one who chased him some time ago, and he had already slipped away when they said hello, and Zhang Xiaohua told Li Jinfeng about the thief he had just seen. Li Jinfeng touched the money bag on his waist, estimated that what Zhang Xiaohua said was true, and couldn't help but say happily: "It's really a loss to you, if it weren't for my living expenses this month, it would all be in vain, I have to thank you Haode." ”
Zhang Xiaohua naturally shirked and said: "Brother Li is too polite, after all, we are acquainted, even if a stranger can help, he will help, if we have to thank you for this little thing, it will be thin for us to come to Pingyang in the same car." ”
Li Jinfeng saw that what Zhang Xiaohua said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but look at him, feeling that the young man in front of him was no longer what he had just seen, he was a lot less youthful, more mature, and more atmospheric, and couldn't help liking it from the bottom of his heart, as if he was his younger brother, so he patted him on the shoulder cordially and said: "Okay, since you say so, I won't be polite to you, they are all wandering people, if there is anything in the future, if you can help, you just look for me." ”
Subsequently, I told him my address, etc., and Zhang Xiaohua wrote it down carefully.
Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua's dress in a green coat and hat, and was very strange, and asked: "Why are you going now? Why are you dressed like this? Are you a small servant for some big family? And your brother?"
Zhang Xiaohua roughly told Li Jinfeng about his recent situation, but he didn't say anything about Huanxi Villa and the Ethereal Sect, although Li Jinfeng was in Pingyang City, but after all, he was studying, and he didn't know about the things on the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know about this Huanxi Villa, thinking that it was the Zhuangzi of an ordinary big family, but he heard that Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu were waiting for them for a long time in front of the carriage and horse line, and couldn't help but blush, ashamed, he was pulled out by Shangguan Yun that day, first eating, then drinking, after waking up, it was already three poles in the sun, and the matter promised to the Zhang family brothers had long been thrown out of the clouds, and now it was not Zhang Xiaohua who mentioned it, he almost forgot about patting his chest in front of others.
After all, Li Jinfeng is a scholar who knows books, and immediately said: "Brother Xiaohua, I really forgot that day, I made you wait for a long time, I'm sorry, now I want to Daoqian to you." ”
After saying that, he bowed to the ground, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly pulled him and said, "Brother Li, there is no need to be like this, anyway, the lotus dart game is easy to find, we will find it by asking." ”
Li Jinfeng then asked: "Brother Xiaohua, where are you going at this time?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Brother Li is really clever, how can you guess? ”
Li Jinfeng said with a smile: "I heard you say that this villa is outside the city, and you haven't entered the city for a while, so now you are naturally going to see your brother in the dart bureau, which is not difficult to guess." ”
Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and said: "Listening to Brother Li's analysis, it's really true, the younger brother sometimes just doesn't like to use his brain, so he can't see very simple things clearly." ”
Li Jinfeng patted him on the head and said: "You are still young, it is the time to use your brain, when you encounter something, don't ask others first, think about it yourself, maybe you have a plan, other people's answers are someone else's, maybe right, but it may not be suitable for you, the answer you consider yourself belongs to you." ”
Zhang Xiaohua listened, as if a lightning bolt crossed her mind, as if she had thought of something, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't figure it out.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's stunned appearance, Li Jinfeng said: "I haven't been to the dart bureau to see Shangguan Yun and Yu Lun for a long time, so I'm going to see them with you at this time." ”
Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Really, those two people are also in the dart game, and they are also executioners?"
Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua's happy appearance, shook his head, and said: "I don't know what they are doing in the dart game, they should be learning martial arts, but they shouldn't be executioners." The two of them have a good family background, especially Shangguan Yun, who seems to be very wealthy, and will never join the dart game by himself. ”
Zhang Xiaohua blushed for a while, just now Li Jinfeng asked him to use his brain more, he forgot about this thought, and recklessly said that people should be any executioners, it is estimated that the bodyguards will not be able to do it, it should be to follow Wen Siye and them to practice martial arts, alas, in the future, you have to use your own brains more, you can't talk nonsense, silence is golden!
Then, Zhang Xiaohua said: "Brother Li, I know, there is a martial arts hall in the Lotus Dart Bureau, and it costs money to learn, and it is estimated that Brother Shangguan and Brother Yu are practicing martial arts there." ”
Li Jinfeng said with a smile: "It should be like this, the last thing they lack is silver." Let's go see them, and I have to apologize to your brother in person. By the way, what's your brother's name?"
Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and said, "My second brother's name is Zhang Xiaohu." ”
Then, the two of them walked towards the dart board as they spoke.
The dart game was near the city gate, Zhang Xiaohua followed Ma Jing's carriage, and he fled shortly after entering the city gate, if he hadn't met Li Jinfeng, he would have arrived at the dart game at this time, even if Li Jinfeng was a scholar, and his walk was much slower than Zhang Xiaohua's, but the two of them still came to the door of the dart game quickly.
In front of the dart game, there are a lot of people coming in and out today, it looks very lively, it is estimated that the business is good, and the stone lions on both sides are still mighty, but in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, there is no such attention, only the feeling is general.
Li Jinfeng walked up the steps, raised his hand to the few guards standing in front of the door, and saluted: "Everyone, I'll go to the dart bureau to find Shangguan Yun, who is practicing martial arts again, please make it convenient." ”
The leading guard smiled and said, "Oh, I'm looking for Shangguan Gongzi, I don't know if this Gongzi knows how to get inside?" Today's affairs are complicated, I'm afraid I won't have time to take Gongzi over." ”
Li Jinfeng didn't even say anything, and said: "I've come to Guidart Bureau more than once, I still know the place of Shangguan Gongzi, I'll just go by myself." ”
After speaking, the guard made a gesture of please: "That son, please." ”
Li Jinfeng nodded, turned around to greet Zhang Xiaohua, and walked into the door of the dart game with him.
Zhang Xiaohua is now dressed as a little girl, and the guards only regard it as Li Jinfeng's follow, so naturally there is no reason to stop him from asking, and he let him go after a glance.
There were some people walking around in the square in front of the door, it seemed that they were all here for business, and there were no people who practiced martial arts, Zhang Xiaohua dispelled the idea of asking, and followed Li Jinfeng, wanting to wait until he met Shangguan Yun to inquire about the news, although Zhang Xiaohu was not a general martial arts practitioner like them, but they were all under one roof, and they might be able to have a familiar face.
The last time Zhang Xiaohua came, he only arrived at a row of huts on the right side of the field, and now he looks at the past, they are all closed, presumably resting. Li Jinfeng did not stay in front of these huts, along the corridor in front of the house, all the way in, into a courtyard that is also a vast yard, facing a row of houses, it is also silent, the yard is planted with many big trees, it looks very shady, through this courtyard, facing a shadow wall, there are two doors on the left and right, Li Jinfeng did not hesitate, turned to the left, entered the door, and there is a long corridor, at the end of the corridor is a row of houses that look very exquisite, Li Jinfeng took Zhang Xiaohua to the door of several fine houses, carefully identified, walked to the middle room, and knocked quietly。
After a while, a lazy, somewhat hoarse voice said, "Who, what's the matter?"
Listening to this voice in Zhang Xiaohua's ears, his heart moved, wasn't it Yu Lun's voice?
Sure enough, Li Jinfeng said: "Brother Yu, it's under Li Jinfeng, come over to see the two elder brothers." ”
Before the words fell, another voice sounded: "Oh, it's Brother Jinfeng, come in, I haven't been here for many days, isn't it busy with homework?"
This voice had a slight arrogance, it was Shangguan Yun.
Li Jinfeng pushed the door in and said with a smile: "I'm not busy with homework, I'm just preparing for some exams, and I don't have too much free time." Don't you have time to see the two heroes?"
Shangguan Yun and Yu Lun were sitting on two chairs in the room, still a little sleepy, obviously they had just taken a nap, and when they saw Li Jinfeng coming in, both of them stood up, nodded their heads, and then sat down, presumably they were familiar with each other and were not so polite.
"Hehe, Brother Li is polite, when it comes to heroes, naturally Brother Shangguan can be called it, and he really doesn't dare to be a three-legged cat in the next step. Yu Lun said modestly.
Shangguan Yun said: "Yu Lun has also made progress recently, practice hard, and there will be a bright future, so there is no need to be arrogant." ”
After the two finished speaking, Li Jinfeng said again: "I brought an acquaintance of ours today, guess who it is?"
"Acquaintances, our acquaintances?" the two looked at each other, both dazed.
Li Jinfeng smiled and said outside: "Zhang Xiaohua, come in." ”
Zhang Xiaohua walked in from the outside, smiled, and said to the two of them: "I have seen the two brothers, and I have been there for more than a month." ”
The two of them looked at this little hat in Tsing Yi and wondered, how could Li Jinfeng say these words to themselves?
After looking carefully, I realized that this was not the country boy who sat in the carriage when he came to Pingyang City, but he changed the clothes of the little girl at this time.
Shangguan Yun saw Zhang Xiaohua giving a salute, but he didn't get up, he nodded, it was a return of the gift, and Yu Lun didn't return the salute, but just stepped forward and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, who is in the car together, hehe, how did you join Brother Li's door and be a little servant?"
Li Jinfeng listened to this, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I can't take care of myself in the future, how can I find a little guy? ”
"Huanxi Villa?" Shangguan Yun listened, raised his eyebrows, and said: "That's a good place, it should be treated well, Zhang Xiaohua, your luck is good, as soon as you arrive in Pingyang City, you will find a haode place." ”
Yu Lun asked, "Is Huanxi Villa famous?"
Shangguan Yun looked at him and said, "Huanxi Villa is the property of the Ethereal Sect, and like this Lotus Dart Bureau, it is all under the management of the Ethereal Sect. ”
Only then did Yu Lun understand, and then asked Zhang Xiaohua: "By the way, Zhang Xiaohua, didn't you come to Pingyang City with us last time to come to the Lotus Dart Bureau, why did you go to Huanxi Villa again?"
Zhang Xiaohua blushed and said: "This, we originally wanted to come to the dart bureau to practice martial arts, but the people in the dart bureau said that practicing martial arts is to pay silver, and we have no silver, so we have to ......."
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua's words to finish, Yu Lun smiled and said: "I'll just say, when you inquired about the Lotus Dart Game that day, I wondered what you were doing in the Dart Bureau, but I didn't want you to save the idea of practicing martial arts. The practice of this martial arts is not something that people like you can imagine, it is better to haode to do a good job in the promising profession of a small house, and when you make money, go home and add a field, and then you are older, marry a daughter-in-law, and haode guards the hot kang head of his wife and children. ”
