The turmoil in the Narcissus Pavilion was like a stone thrown into the turbulent river, and the splashing waves were quickly washed away by the rolling current, except for Yang Fengfeng's 90,000 taels of silver, no one mentioned it again.
Diao Xiaosi had already thrown this matter out of the clouds, he was really busy these days, and he had a meal almost every day.
Fang Mingzu, Fang Xuanling father and son, Hou Junji, eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, warrior wok...... They are all old acquaintances and old friends, and it's not good not to go. Especially the samurai wok, if it weren't for his invitation, Diao Xiaosi almost forgot that he still had a lovely goddaughter in Chang'an City.
I haven't seen Mei Niang grow a lot taller for more than a few years, her pointed chin and dark eyebrows, and she is beautiful and beautiful, and many princes, riches, celebrities, and gentry in the capital have sent matchmakers to propose relatives for their children and grandchildren.
However, the samurai wok, as soon as he mentioned his baby daughter, he sighed, this girl didn't know when she was infatuated with cultivating immortals, and she used the boudoir as a practice room all day long, and she closed the door and messed around inside, so scared that the maid didn't dare to enter the door.
Diao Xiaosi was quite unimpressed by this, and persuaded the warrior wok: "Old Wu, since this girl likes it, you can simply send her to Zhongnan Mountain for a few years, and sooner or later she will retreat." ”
The warrior woked and smiled bitterly: "Fourth master, don't you know, although Mei Niang is young, she has a lot of ideas than me. She didn't know where to get the Taoist classics, not to say that the real immortals all lived in Kunlun Mountain and Penglai Island, and she ran away from home with one mind, and asked for immortals. ”
Diao Xiaosi said with a smile: "Lao Wu, this little girl is a little interesting." If you are willing, I can send her to Penglai and find a master to teach her for a few years, maybe she will be a female sword fairy in the future. ”
The warrior woks shook their heads again and again and said: "The fourth master said that it was funny, what is the matter of a girl dancing with a gun and a stick? It is better to learn some female celebrities honestly, and find a good husband in a few years." ”
Mei Niang was playing with her fingers beside her, seemingly absent-minded, but the look in her eyes turned from excitement to disappointment.
Diao Xiaosi actually said it casually, and he didn't take it seriously like the warrior wok. After saying goodbye from the samurai wok's mansion, he went to Cheng Yanjin's house to catch up with the field.
In the past few days, Tulip and others have been busy taking over Wenxiang Building, and the two bastards Murong Xiaobai and Li Yifeng are heavy and light friends, jumping up and down in Wenxiang Building with passion, causing Diao Xiao to be alone.
Gao Shansong went to Zhongnan Mountain, chatted with Sun Qianjin, and couldn't think about it, and it was estimated that he would not be able to come back for ten days and a half months.
The marriage with Zisu has been arranged, and this girl is obviously overjoyed in her heart, but she refuses to come to Chang'an to accompany Diao Xiaosi, which makes him angry, hateful and itchy.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and the red slanting sun shone on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, like a layer of rose-colored gold leaf. The street vendors on both sides of the street are constantly shouting, wanting to do two more businesses before the market closes and earn a few more copper plates, so that they can go home at night and sleep more soundly.
Diao Xiaosi rode slowly along the street, and inadvertently passed by the wonton stall where he met Li Yuan last time.
The middle-aged sister-in-law who set up the stall was packing up the dishes and chopsticks and preparing to go home.
Diao Xiaosi got off the horse and asked, "Boss, do you still have wontons, can you help me with the next bowl?"
The middle-aged sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, looked at Diao Xiaosi carefully, and said with a smile on her rough and bright red face: "Last winter, you ate wontons here with me, right?"
"The hostess is really good memory. Diao Xiaosi smiled and pulled over a bench and sat down and said, "Later, a friend will invite me to drink, so I will come to you first to eat a bowl of wontons and pad my hunger." ”
"Okay!" the proprietress readily agreed, pouring all the remaining wontons into the boiling water.
"Hostess, divide into two bowls and bring me one too. A middle-aged man's deep voice suddenly sounded behind Diao Xiaosi.
Without looking back, Diao Xiaosi knew who the person who came. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you like to grab wontons from me to eat? Since you like to eat this family's wontons, why don't you summon people into the palace to be imperial chefs, and you don't need much salary?"
Li Yuan was dressed in civilian clothes and was not angry and arrogant, and squeezed on a bench side by side with Diao Xiaosi and said: "After entering the palace, no matter how delicious the wontons are, they don't taste like this." ”
"That's right," Diao Xiaosi said sympathetically: "Whatever you want to eat, I don't know how many people's mouths have been tested, and all the leftovers are eaten." ”
Li Yuan said: "No way, it is a very luxurious thing for me to die now." ”
Diao Xiaosi said: "Then why are you sneaking out and running out? In case someone assassinates later, don't bother me." ”
Li Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, it's not so easy to kill me." ”
Diao Xiaosi's expression suddenly moved slightly, and Li Yuan looked at him and said, "You found out?"
Diao Xiaosi nodded and said, "There are a lot of people, and they are all top masters, where did you get that old man over there?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Your cultivation has really grown a lot. You know, the last time we met, they were there. ”
Diao Xiaosi said disdainfully: "Who said that Lao Tzu didn't find out last time, that's because I didn't bother to tell you." By the way, you still seem to owe me a fiefdom, right? I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law again in a few days, and I'm still worried that I don't have a place to live. ”
Li Yuan coughed and asked, "Then when can you help me seal the Qin Emperor's Tomb Realm?"
Diao Xiaosi sniffled vigorously and praised: "It's so fragrant - boss, the wontons are almost ready, I'm hungry." ”
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Two days ago, you taught Yang Fengfeng to suffer?"
Diao Xiaosi took the wontons from the proprietress hand, handed a bowl to Li Yuan first, and said lightly: "It's not hard to talk about, it's really a little tight recently, so I have to find a way to get some silver." ”
Li Yuan scooped up a wonton and put it to his mouth and blew lightly: "You just returned to Chang'an and you were playing the autumn breeze everywhere, didn't you know to come to me?"
Diao Xiaosi didn't care about the wontons, and devoured a few, it seems that Li Yuan's bowl of wontons tonight has a deep meaning, and he is actually trying to persuade himself not to get involved in the disputes within the court.
He pretended to be confused and said, "Is it useful to look for you? Forget it, Lao Tzu should make his own money and spend it himself. ”
Li Yuan put the wonton into his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said carefully: "In more than two months, it will be the Longmen appointment between Mr. Ning and Wang Shichong. Regardless of this victory or defeat, Zhongnan, Qingcheng, and Kunlun will gather the strength of the three major factions to fight to the death against the Secret Moon Demon Sect. I hope you can prevent such a scenario from happening, otherwise even if you defeat the Yue Sect, it will be a miserable victory. In a hundred years, no one will ever recover. ”
Diao Xiaosi put down the spoon and said in amazement: "What do you want me to do? Besides, what can't be done by the three major factions, what tricks can I play?"
Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Diao Xiaosi and said, "You don't have to be too humble, just like killing Princess Yicheng, I'm very satisfied!"
"Princess Yicheng?" Diao Xiaosi said calmly: "Don't you know that Lao Tzu has always been very good at dealing with women?"
Li Yuan laughed and asked, "Are the jade earrings I gave you last time still there?"
"What do you mean by sending, that's originally my mother's thing, and my mother's thing is also my thing, okay?"
"Haven't you always wondered who your biological father is? ”
"Wouldn't it be easier for you to tell me the answer directly?"
"I told you the answer four years ago. But if you don't want to believe it, then try to find out for yourself. ”
"Last time, you said that this pair of earrings was a token of love given to you by your mother, right?" Diao Xiaosi blinked and said, "You won't get on the boat first and then pay, right?"
Rao is Li Yuan's qi cultivation kung fu reached its peak, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but become stiff, and the corners of his lips barely pulled out a trace of bitter smile: "I should really ask someone to beat you kid hard." ”
Diao Xiaosi said unrelentingly: "If you are really my father, don't you know who killed my mother?"
Li Yuan didn't answer, and only said slowly after a while: "What, do you suspect it's me?"
Diao Xiaosi buried his head in a loud voice and drank the wonton soup loudly, without saying a word.
Li Yuan put a piece of silver on the table, stood up and said, "There must be evidence for everything." Show me with facts that if I am really a murderer and come to take my head on another day, you don't have to show mercy!"
Diao Xiaosi took out a handful of copper coins from his cuffs and put them on the table in front of him, got up lazily and said, "Forget it, don't ask if you don't want to say it." In the previous life, you'd better not get involved with me. I don't want to have anything to do with you, and I don't have so many bells and whistles. ”
Li Yuan was stunned, and sighed softly: "In this way, I am confused." I can afford to put it down, Xiaosi, I'm not as good as you. ”
Diao Xiaosi smiled: "Don't forget, you are the emperor, and I am a gangster." ”
"You really don't care who the biological father is?"
"That's not true, if there is a bastard who only cares about his own pleasure for a while, and makes Lao Tzu suffer for the rest of his life, do you think I should beat him?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "It should be beaten, it should be beaten!" In the laughter, he turned away, and the passers-by on the street looked sideways in surprise, but no one recognized who this middle-aged man who looked up to the sky and laughed like a bell.
"Tiansha, Lone Star-" Diao Xiaosi sent Li Yuan away, and muttered: "Niang Xi, bring a bunch of habas every time!" He spread out his left fist that he had been clenching, and held two hot jade earrings in his palms, faintly shining with a strange pattern under the light of the setting sun.
Suddenly, I heard the proprietress cry and hurriedly said, "Why did the guest officer leave, I haven't found money for him yet." ”
Diao Xiaosi smiled slightly and comforted: "It's okay, that pug can't be counted!"
The proprietress was stunned and said at a loss: "That guest officer is a noble person at first glance, little brother, can you help me bring him the money?"
Diao Xiaosi turned over and said, "No need, boss, the wontons you wrapped are delicious." I'll bring more friends next time. ”
He whipped his horse and walked towards Cheng Biting Jin's mansion. Li Yuan's warning is still in his ears, just let it go to hell, how can the little fourth master have to look at other people's eyes?
Things in the world are originally quite simple, drinking is drinking, and fighting is fighting, but many smart people always like to do nothing and not think about it, and they have to find out some meaning from it.
In fact, Lao Tzu was just lonely for a long night, and wanted to find someone to drink and do other people's things.
