CHAPTER XVIII

The couplet at the entrance of the Taibai Restaurant is very interesting.

"Don't ask how many things are going on today, who will remember the old man coming. "It's not a very good phrase, but it's hung on both sides of the store, and there are surprisingly many people? Is it the wine in the restaurant? Is there a lot of people who have nothing to do? Or do you hear that the boss is a well-known beauty?"

Looking at the words and looks, it is estimated that this is suitable for the tavern, teahouse, and small second lane of the restaurant. Who seems to go to a tavern and drink a bowl of wine for a day? Who seems to eat and drink without paying? Who seems to be here to make trouble? And who is the real God of Wealth?

Xiao Er noticed two people coming here in the distance a few feet away.

Although the older ones are not wearing red and purple, they are not the cloth clothes worn by ordinary people, linen clothes and the like, although there is no jewelry on their hands, but a pair of hands are well maintained, it is like the hands of people who have done work, the most important thing, the fan pendant under his fan is more crystal clear under the sun, and it is a good thing, the God of Wealth is here, Xiao Er swallowed his saliva, and trotted to meet the two.

"Two, you're tired of walking, come in and take a break, it's not me who blows, you can't find a second one for our wine in Chang'an." Xiao Er said while bending over, trotting after the two, still sweating, making people feel that it was a sin not to go with him.

"Good little two, okay, you lead the way. Sun Huaiyu said with a smile, he actually knew where the restaurant was, but someone led the way, why not do it?

"Okay, two guest officers, please. Xiao Er invited the two to the attic, where the windows are bright and clean, the environment is elegant, and the surroundings are also carefully arranged, where to put a vase, where to put a spider plant, although it is not a rich thing, but also makes people feel the quality of the orchid heart, Sun Huaiyu knows Xiao Er's intentions very well, he himself is also very fond of this little two who will come to things, and took out a piece of broken silver from his waist bag, which is enough for two taels, "Reward you, go and ask for some good dishes for a long time." “

"Master Xie, Master Xie. Xiao Er was ecstatic in his heart, Erliang, he only earned four dollars a month of exhaustion, which also envied the guys in other wine shops.

"Wait," Ouyang Wuji said, "How do you know that he is an official." ”

"This, I'm guessing randomly, don't be like me, two guest officers. ”

"Say, I want to hear about it too. Sun Huaiyu looked at this unattractive little er, and he was also interested.

"I am, just guessing. Xiao Er became uneasy, and his hands rubbed the sides of his waist repeatedly.

Sun Huaiyu took out another ingot of silver and put it on the table, the silver was so tempting in the sun, let's talk about it, I want to hear it.

Money can make ghosts grind, Xiao Er thought for a while, "Does the guest officer really want to hear it?"

"I'm going to tell you?"

"The guest officer's shoes are official boots?" Xiao Er said, and hurriedly walked out, while speaking, he secretly said that he was too talkative, and almost caused himself to suffer an unwarranted disaster. “

"Good sharp-eyed little two. Sun Huaiyu looked at the untouched silver and said.

"He's also a smart person, isn't he?" Ouyang Wuji said as he looked at Sun Huaiyu.

"yes, it's kind of interesting, but my father doesn't like smart people. Sun Huaiyu said, "But I like friends." ”

"That friend won't let me talk hungry all the time. ”

"No, I'll let Xiao Er go out and order a bowl of noodles in a while, how about it?"

"Hahaha..."

"Guest officer, what you want is here, I saw Xiao Er carrying a tray with a pot of wine and four side dishes. Sun Huaiyu looked at it with affection, but it was not the guy just now.

"Where's that little second just now?"

"Back to the guest officer, that kid is not angry, and suddenly his stomach hurts. ”

"You don't want this person, do you?" said Ouyang Wuji with a smile.

"Why, no? I don't have a subordinate who is so sensible. Sun Huaiyu said.

"Yo, why did the two guest officers come to me to dig the foot of the wall?" a woman's voice came, and it was a joke when she heard it.

"How dare you, even if you give me great courage, I don't dare to go wild in Wuniang's store, right?" Sun Huaiyu looked at the woman at the door with a smile.

"How dare I be angry with Sun Shaoqing, Sun Shaoqing, you take care of everything every day, who in Chang'an City doesn't know that you are the first talented person in Chang'an. "The woman deliberately added the word 'merry' in front of the talent.

"Spare me, Wu Niang, smell your wine and your fragrance, I can't walk. Sun Huaiyu begged for mercy.

"Phew, it's not a good one. The woman looked at the boy next to her, and saw that he did not look like his attendant. "Who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, his name is Ouyang Wuji. ”

"Ouyang Wuji, but Ouyang Wuji, who easily defeated Gongsun without regrets?"

"Brother, it seems that being famous is not a good thing, right?" Sun Huaiyu pretended to be in pain and teased.

"Where, it's also a blessing to know the proprietress in three lives, my name is Ouyang Wuji. Ouyang Wuji stood up and bowed to Wu Niang.

"What a handsome little student, Sun Huaiyu, if you don't think of a way, your reputation as the number one talent will change hands. The woman laughed coquettishly.

"How can you say it? We are going hand in hand, ranking as the champions!" Sun Huaiyu said with a smile.

"Okay, I don't have time to talk to you, I'm not like you, I still have to feed a large family, let's go." The woman said.

"Look at what you said, if you want to get married, the queue has to go from your gate to the west gate, and it has to come early. Sun Huaiyu said with a smile.

"As far as you can speak, your mouth is like honey, and you don't have a proper way. "Women are like that, who doesn't want someone to boast about their beauty, who doesn't like to be touted...

"I love Master Meng, and I am known all over the world," Ouyang Wuji groaned.

"Don't be sarcastic about me, what's the matter, aren't you hungry?" Sun Huaiyu glanced at Ouyang Wuji and said.

"Haven't you heard the word "beautiful?"

"Do you want to eat?" Sun Huaiyu said angrily.

"Eat, someone has a treat, can you not eat?

"That's pretty much it, come, I'll pour you a drink. ”

"If you don't get drunk, everyone will get drunk?"

"Where did you learn this, and you still have a set? I don't think you're hungry, Xiao Er, check out"

"Okay, I'll just say it. Ouyang Wuji looked at Sun Huaiyu's deflated appearance, and felt why Miao Qingqing always liked to bully this godbrother, it seems that people really can't generalize.

After drinking a few glasses, Sun Huaiyu's alcohol consumption was not high enough.

"You know, I don't like to be a young secretary, and I don't want to be the son of a prime minister, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I want to be Liu Yong, who lives in the Qinglou, write poems, chat, and live in vain. ”

Ouyang Wuji listened silently, people need to talk, listening to a person pour out his own bitter water, like drying moldy clothes in the sun. Listening is an art, listen silently, accompany him (her), let the time tick and the sound solidify, and also make the troubled person feel more comfortable.

"But I didn't dare tell my father. I don't understand, other people's fathers are loving, why my father never smiled at me, I feel that I am not his son, I am like a pawn of his, a pawn without thoughts, without words. Sun Huaiyu smashed his head with his fist in pain, he didn't understand why he had to talk so much to this person who was likely to become an enemy of his father, why he wanted to talk to him so much, no matter what, it was like a crack in the solid floodgate, and it couldn't stop the rough sea water from roaring. ”

"Really? What is the good of being under one person, above ten thousand? What about being admired? Lingering for a hundred years? Leaving a stench for 10,000 years? Who will remember us after thousands of years? I, Sun Huaiyu, you, Ouyang Wuji? Don't dream. We are just individuals, and no matter how much we struggle, we are inseparable from the shackles of fate..."

"Brother Sun, you're drunk. Ouyang Wuji said.

"I'm drunk, I'm not drunk, you see I know you, I know me, I know everything I can know. Haha, you drink too. I'm drunk, I'm drunk, I'm drunk, I'm drunk every day. I just want a quiet life, but it always backfires. “

He's really drunk, he's often drunk. The amount of wine is not high, and a few glasses will reveal the clues. However, he wants to drink, wine can numb himself, he can't hear other people's compliments to himself, other people's flattery, and he can't hear Sun Mou want to tell a subordinate to tell himself, since there is nothing to do today, but ask for a drunk.

"Alas" Ouyang Wuji sighed lightly, looking at Sun Huaiyu lying on the table, he was also a person with a true temperament.

"Someone," Ouyang Wuji shouted.

"What's the matter, guest officer?"

"This guest officer has drunk too much, please send him back to Master Sun's mansion. As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from Sun Huaiyu's waist and gave it to Xiao Er, and he wandered around the street idlely.

Chang'an is really prosperous, in Chang'an for some time, but never as leisurely as now as an outsider to watch the entire Chang'an, like a chess game-like city. In his eyes, there is no prosperity of selling, there is no noisy crowd, only the streets and alleys of the road are displayed here like a chess game, like a huge chessboard, but the people watching the chess can not see the chess pieces, and the people watching the chess only want to be lively, but he, is he a chess player, or is he in the game?

"Senior brother, hasn't Wuji come back yet?" Song Wen stepped into Xu Sanjin's house again, and she couldn't remember whether it was the thirtieth or the thirty-first round.

"No, I'll tell you the first one. You can rest assured, he is such a big person, he can still lose it!" Xu Sanjin was annoyed enough by Song Wen, and said angrily.

"Okay, dead pig's head, you dare to bully my sister-in-law, see if I don't screw off your ears and drink and eat. Miao Qingqing on the side said.

"The girls are still drinking. “

"What, can't you?" Miao Qingqing smiled at Xu Sanjin.

"Yes, yes, you can drink as much as you want, okay. "Xu Sanjin doesn't want to mess with this aunt.

"Sister, don't worry, sister, I'll accompany you to find it. Miao Qingqing took her hand and left.

"Pig's head, if you really don't want to become a pig's head, it's best to obediently accompany Miss Ben to find it. Miao Qingqing didn't reply to this sentence.

"Go, go, can't you go? I still have an appointment with someone?" Although Xu Sanjin was reluctant, he was helpless, and he had already scolded Ouyang Wuji several times in his heart. "Wait for me, I'll wear a coat. “

When the three of them walked to the door, they met Sun Huaiyu, who was unconscious.

"Hey, why is he like this?" Miao Qingqing asked as soon as she stopped Xiao Er, who was heading towards Sun's Mansion.

"Ah, it's okay, he drank too much in our hotel, we sent it back, nothing else. Xiao Er was afraid of being mistaken for a human trafficker, so he quickly explained.

"Really, drink so much well. Well, he's my brother, give him to me. Miao Qingqing said.

"So good, so good, the villain won't bother a few. Xiao Erke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Wuji, again, have another drink. Sun Huaiyu suddenly opened his mouth, but Miao Qingqing was startled.

"Wuji, do you mean Brother Wuji? Where is he? Tell me. Song Wen didn't know where the strength came from, grabbed Sun Huaiyu's shoulders with both hands and shook violently.

"Don't shake it, he's drunk too much. Miao Qingqing said. "You don't have to shake people to death if you're in a hurry. ”

"Ah," Song Wen also realized that something was wrong, and put her hands down.

"Don't worry, don't you know that the negative man is still alive now, do you?" Miao Qingqing quipped while helping Sun Huaiyu. "Pig's head, don't come to help me, I'm tired. ”

Yes, now that you have the news of your senior brother, what are you worried about? Song Wen thought about it for a while, and her mood calmed down a little.

The three of them returned to Zhangfu with the unconscious Sun Huaiyu.

The three of them looked at Sun Huaiyu, who was lying on the bed and was asleep, a little helpless.

"Looks like it's going to take a while for him to wake up. Xu Sanjin was very sad, because Sun Huaiyu was lying on his bed, and he vomited all over the ground before lying down. "Really, why do you drink so much, you really have money and no place to spend it. Xu Sanjin scolded secretly in his heart.

"It's okay, sister, since there is news, it's good news, maybe he'll be back in a while. Miao Qingqing comforted on the side, and at the same time glanced at Xu Sanjin as he spoke, seeing his painful appearance, he didn't have to think about it to know what he was thinking, this senior brother, I really doubt how he became a senior brother!

"I'm fine, I'm just worried, it's just...."Song Wen didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I understand, sister, don't talk about it. Miao Qingqing hugged Song Wen on the side and said.

"Do you understand this?" Xu Sanjin looked at her suspiciously.

"I want you to take care of it, dead pig's head. Miao Qingqing stared at him viciously, if she wasn't taking care of a sad person now, maybe you would hear one howl after another right away.

"The pride of the sky, haha, I'm the first merry talent, Mowgli, let's drink again. Sun Huaiyu on the bed was still gesturing and refused to be quiet.

However, Ouyang Wuji, where will he go? Is Zhang Mansion really unable to go back? There are people he cares about and people who care about him, can he bear to leave?

He didn't know that he was walking on the street indiscriminately and blindly, Zhang's Mansion was not his home, and he was not a subordinate of Zhang's Mansion, and he had not had the slightest contact with him before, just because of Taifu's invitation, he had to do it without hesitation? The master didn't let us get into the camp in the name of chess, but he kept asking me to stay in the capital to help him. Chaos, it's really chaos, there will be a chess game in Shili Pavilion tomorrow, I knew that it was better to stay in the grass house, and if I didn't go to play that damn chess for him and Gongsun Wuregret, I wouldn't have so many things, I was really troublesome, Ouyang Wuji sighed. Although the capital is big, he is penniless, and he has not even solved the problem of a meal or a night, so how can he talk about gaining a foothold in the capital, and he still can't beg? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. No matter how poor you are, you won't beg on the streets, and you will be looked down upon by the world, so it's better to kill yourself.

"Little brother, you see that this hairpin is good in workmanship and good condition, buy one for your beloved little lady. The hawker shouted.

Wuji stopped, looked at the hairpin in the vendor's hand, as the hawker said, but he still had extra silver taels, he shook his head with a smile, apart from his clothes, what else is valuable? He wanted to buy this hairpin, nothing else, he felt that he should buy it, there was no reason.

"Little brother, I'm in a hurry, I didn't bring any money, but I like this hairpin, so I'll put this dress here as collateral, okay?" Ouyang Wuji said.

"Your clothes are of the finest fabric, do you really want to give it to me?" the peddler wondered if his ears had misheard.

"That's right, just ask for your hairpin, and give me your coat too. ”

"Okay, I'll find a good wooden box for you to pack, wait. The peddler was overjoyed. "Childe, your hairpin, and pointed to the clothes embarrassedly. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Where, where, it's me who should thank you. The peddler said with a smile, thinking to himself, this guy is not a fool, his hairpin is worth at most one or two, and the linen coat, plus a jacket made of fine fabrics that is not worth dozens of taels of silver, this guy must be a fool, or a madman.

Ouyang Wuji couldn't imagine that his actions were secretly thought to be fools and madmen. He was just walking with a wooden box containing a hairpin in his hand.

He seemed to see that once upon a time, spring had arrived, flowers were blooming all over the mountains, everything was so beautiful, two little boys and girls of the same age were chasing on the hillside, running, playing, tired, lying on the carpet made of green, what to think about, their laughter with the sound of nature became the most beautiful melody.

"Senior brother, am I beautiful?" asked a girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old.

"Beautiful, smelly beauty. The boy looked at it for a long time and gave such an evaluation.

"I hate it, ignore you. The girl pursed her lips and turned her face to the side, ignoring the boy next to her.

The boy stood up and walked into the distance, but the girl always thought he was by her side and never left.

Half a day passed, "If you just don't apologize, I'll ignore you." The girl said this, only to find that no one paid attention to her.

She looked back and found that her brother was gone. She was in a hurry, shouting loudly, shouting desperately, knowing that her voice was hoarse, and tears were falling.

"Didn't you ignore me?" asked the boy, who came out of nowhere.

The girl wanted to scold her, but found that her voice was hoarse, and she stared at the boy next to her with hatred.

The boy took out his hand from behind him, it was a beautiful wreath, the wreath was colorful, the petals were delicate and beautiful, it looked like it had just been taken off, the boy took the wreath to the girl, and took out a beautiful big red flower from his arms, and stuck it diagonally in the girl's hair, and after doing it, he exhaled softly.

The girl didn't care about the flowers he had clumsily put on her head, she felt that she was the most beautiful woman.

"Well, it's much prettier this time," the boy said, still looking at it for a long time.

Who cares so much?

In life, I think too much, I calculate everywhere, but in the end I don't get anything, manage my own flowers and plants, and then stay until the prosperous and blooming season, a beautiful wreath all over the people, to the person I love the most, this may be the best gift.
