- ps: Readers who like my works are welcome to add my W letter, the chief disciple of the Jian Sect (jzsxdz).
People, as long as they are still alive, will encounter all kinds of unpleasant things one after another. No matter what their status is, no matter what their status, the ancients will not deceive me!
Take the current Xie An as an example. Not only is he serving in the court, holding the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and being awarded the title of King Anle, but there is still a thorn in his heart that has not yet been removed.
This thorn had been left in his heart for several years. Normally, it was nothing because he deliberately ignored it. But just now, in the execution hall of the Great Prison Temple, he met the former Saigo Hou Han again, who he had met once before. The thorn in Xie An's heart ached for some unknown reason.
The name of this thorn is Su Wan.
Once the daughter of the Su family in Guangling, and later the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in the Nangong Mansion, this virtuous woman to whom Xie An had a deep affection was undeniably the first confidante that Xie An met after coming to this era.
However, it was just an encounter, and the two failed to go further after all. This makes people feel sad that in this world, sometimes even if two people are in love, they may not necessarily be able to get together.
¡°Store, wine!¡±
Shaking the empty wine bottle, Xie An called to the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
Logically speaking, based on Xie An¡¯s previous temper, he would most likely go to those romantic places when he was in a bad mood. Because of his hobby, Liang Qiu Wu often carried the Wolf-Slaying Sword all over the capital to look for him. But today, Xie An seemed to simply want to get drunk. Therefore, after changing into casual clothes in the Daji Temple, he randomly chose a restaurant in the city and sat down in a corner of the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant. .
"Okay!" The shopkeeper, who was always responsible for collecting and keeping accounts, waved his hand and dismissed the restaurant waiter. He personally brought several bottles of wine to Xie An's table.
It's not that the shopkeeper recognized Xie An, the most powerful official in the court in Chaoge City. After all, although Xie An held the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice and was well-known in Jijing in the past, most of the former Jijing The soldiers and civilians have not seen this big man in person.
The reason why the shopkeeper is so respectful is mainly because of the casual clothes Xie An is wearing, that robe that is worth at least hundreds of taels of silver.
Even though it¡¯s just casual clothes. But as Xie An is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, how can his casual clothes be any worse? On the other hand, if Xie An was dressed casually, he would be the same as those of Liangqiu Wu, Changsun Xiangyu and other girls.
"Young master, please use it slowly."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver the wine, the shopkeeper looked Xie An up and down again, becoming increasingly certain that Xie An was the son of a wealthy family in the city.
To be honest, the shopkeeper of the restaurant originally planned to invite Xie An to the private room on the second floor. After all, it was really inappropriate to ask this brightly dressed young man to sit in the corner of the first floor. But Xie An refused.
?Perhaps, when people are upset, although they want to be alone and quiet, they are also afraid of being too lonely.
Therefore, the lobby on the first floor of this small restaurant is quite suitable for Xie An to relax and relieve his worries.
Xie An absentmindedly dismissed the shopkeeper with a wave of his hand. While drinking, Xie An stared at the streets passing by, turning a deaf ear to the noisy conversations and noises in the restaurant.
Not long after. A man and a woman walked in at the door of the restaurant. A quick glance revealed that they were still half-grown children. The girl is slightly older, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the boy is only thirteen or fourteen years old according to visual inspection. It seems that the two are siblings.
Xie An turned his head and glanced at the leather drum in the girl's arms and the huqin and copper basket in the boy's hands, and he already understood a little bit.
??To be honest, these two siblings are entertainers who sell and sing in restaurants to earn the money they need to live. It's not uncommon anywhere, but if there's anything special about it, it's that these siblings are too young. Generally speaking, when they perform like this, there must be an old man beside them to help them. After all, children don¡¯t know much and their behavior is not as smooth as that of the elderly.
[Sister and brother? ]
Taking a closer look, Xie An could not help but feel a little inexplicable irritability.
The shopkeeper looked at Xie An's face from a distance and secretly screamed something bad, because Xie An was wearing luxurious clothes. Although the shopkeeper returned to the counter, he was paying attention to Xie An all the time. Now he saw the pair of singing siblings. After coming in, the young master frowned and looked at the former with a somewhat unkind expression, and immediately took a few steps to rush over.
"If you feel that those two children are making noisy singing, our store will ask them to leave immediately"
Hearing this, Xie An glanced at the brother and sister, and saw that the other brother was still wearing thin clothes despite the October weather, and had a hungry look on his face. He sighed slightly in his heart and waved his hand gently.
Xie An knows that as long as he clicks??, the shopkeeper will definitely drive the siblings out of the restaurant, and this is not what he wants to see.
After just a few glances, Xie An was once again looking at the people passing by on the street.
It's no wonder, after all, with the family's eldest son, Sun Xiangyu, who is proficient in music, Xie An is quite picky about music. It is no exaggeration to say that after the eldest son, Xiangyu, played a few songs for him hard, Xie An never Going to those romantic places and listening to the music played by the warblers and swallows makes me subconsciously feel bored. Even the ditties played and sung by the carefully taught women in the brothel were boring. How could Xie An pay any attention to these siblings?
But to Xie An's expectation, the little girl's voice was quite mellow. She sang a cappella song, which made Xie An wake up from his distraction and start to look at the siblings with a little surprise.
It was just my sister's song, and there were many cheers from the drinkers in the tavern. However, when the younger brother came forward with the copper basket, few people offered him money. After asking three or five times, he only got a dozen copper coins. The reward made the younger brother, who seemed to be obviously more introverted and shy, blush slightly.
"What can a few copper coins buy for Zhou Dynasty, especially Chaoge, when its national power is exhausted? Not to mention that you can't buy a steamed bun, even if you can buy one, I'm afraid it doesn't have meat filling.
On the other hand, the older sister sat in a more generous position and said in a crisp voice, "Brothers and uncles, our brothers and sisters have just arrived in Chaoge We have no relatives and friends here in Chaoge It is difficult to make a living. I would like to pay you a favor and thank you." A few copper coins, so that my siblings can have something to eat"
After she said these few words. The drinkers in the restaurant finally started to reward one by one, but the rewards were still not many copper coins, just a few pennies. It was no wonder, after all, the Great Zhou Dynasty had been fighting for years, and not only the imperial court had exhausted its financial resources. It also affected the people.
Finally, the boy came to Xie An with the copper basket.
¡°Perhaps Xie An¡¯s bright and luxurious clothes put so much pressure on the boy that when he came to Xie An, he couldn¡¯t even say anything to ask for a reward.
Seeing this, the elder sister also came over and was about to ask for it on behalf of her younger brother. When the shopkeeper saw it, she walked over in a few steps and winked at the younger sister. I said to myself that this man just saw you upset, why didn¡¯t you two come forward to ask for a reward?
And while the shopkeeper was looking for ways to drive away the siblings, Xie An looked deeply at the boy's hand holding the edge of the copper basket, and said softly and indifferently, "You took it backwards, you know?"
The restaurant suddenly fell silent. After all, this was the first sentence of this gorgeously dressed young man besides asking for drinks.
Under the surprised gazes of everyone, Xie An raised his hands. He taught the younger brother who was making begging gestures step by step, changed his posture to hold the copper basket, and said sternly. "Pushing up with your palms is a beggar's gesture. Since you two are performing arts, you should hold the basket with your palms down Remember, don't make others laugh!"
The younger brother looked at Xie An in surprise, his face flushed. Xuan nodded vigorously.
Seeing that the other party was so introverted, which was completely different from the calmness in his memory when he and Su Wan were performing arts and begging to go to Jijing, Xie Anxin shook his head slightly and immediately looked at the sister.
"Nice singing!"
With a soft clang, Xie An placed an ingot worth five taels of silver into the copper basket in his brother's hand. Not to mention the happy expressions on the faces of the siblings, even the shopkeeper and the drinkers in the restaurant also showed surprised expressions.
[As expected, he is the son of a wealthy family]
The shopkeeper was secretly glad that his eyes were bright enough and he had been entertaining so well that he would not offend the rich young man in front of him.
But Xie An didn't pay attention to the surprised expressions of the shopkeeper and the drinkers in the restaurant. He looked at the sister and said lightly, "Is there anything else?"
The sister nodded repeatedly, looking at the five taels of silver and she was so happy that she was speechless.
Seeing this, Xie An picked up the wine cup, took a sip of wine, and said lightly, "Sing, if you sing well, you can get five taels per song!"
[One song and five taels? ]
Looking at Xie An¡¯s unconcerned expression, everyone in the restaurant was shocked. Anyone who came out to sing could not sing more than ten or even dozens of lyrics. In other words
"[No matter what, there must be nearly a hundred taels Darling, these siblings have really met a noble person!" ] Even though he was a shopkeeper who was used to seeing gold and silver coming into his account, his brows couldn't help but tremble slightly.
I have to say that the shopkeeper had a good idea. It can be said that Xie An is indeed the noble person of this pair of siblings. However, Xie An will not give any amount of money to the siblings for no reason. First of all, such charity is an insult to the other party. This experienceXie An knew this kind of thing well. Secondly, if it was too easy to get money, it would harm them.
As for the amount of the final reward, it depends on how many songs the sister can sing, and this is Xie An's way of helping.
Of course, if we talk about the most fundamental reason, I am afraid that the figures of these siblings have once again brought back some memories in Xie An's heart.
I have to say that the little girl does sing well and knows a lot of lyrics. Although her singing skills are not solid, her voice is mellow and crisp, and her enunciation is clear. Listening to the little songs she sang, Xie An seemed to feel drunk. The drinks are also much more delicious.
The drinkers in the restaurant also stopped their previous conversations and listened more quietly. After all, who wouldn¡¯t listen to the free singing? Anyway, the rich young man sitting in the corner rewarded me in the end.
This singing lasted for nearly an hour, and the little girl's voice obviously started to become hoarse. This was because the shopkeeper kindly gave her throat-moistening tea for Xie An's sake.
But despite this, no one pities this girl. Pity for what? What's there to have mercy on? They sang at least more than twenty songs in this hour. As long as the young master kept his word, it would cost at least a hundred taels of silver! This was enough to cover a family's annual income.
I believe that even if her voice is hoarse for ten and a half days after today, the little girl who sings will still enjoy it.
As for Xie An, he was still drinking and looking at the people passing by in the street, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Xie An seemed to wake up and looked at the little singing girl with a strange expression. Because the song the latter was singing made him quite confused when he listened carefully.
" The window lattice knocked on my heart, and the sound of falling wood made it difficult for me to dream. The clanging sound came from the eaves, and a bone-chilling chill came from under the quilt. The lone lamp illuminated my single shadow, and I was alone on the rainy night. Who said the fifth watch? Since ancient times, Wushan has been dreaming of King Xiang, but I am dreaming of you. Dreams are hard to come true"
"" Xie An opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Possibly frightened by Xie An's expression, the little girl stopped singing and looked at Xie An in panic. Nono asked, "Master, could it be that I don't sing well?"
After looking deeply at the little girl for a while, Xie An shook his head slightly. When the latter became a little frustrated because of the misunderstanding, he took out three 100-tael silver notes from his arms. Put it on the table.
"Although the public security in Chaoge is good, as the saying goes, wealth is not revealed. Leaving these silver coins with you is a disaster after all. Since you have no place to stay, use this money to buy a house to settle down."
After saying these words, Xie An stood up and walked out of the restaurant, after all, it was the girl's last song. He no longer even had the mood to get drunk.
[Three hundred taels? ]
Everyone in the restaurant looked shocked, and the brother and sister were also dumbfounded. When Xie An had reached the door of the restaurant, the sister called out, "Sir, please stay. I agreed to a tune of five taels. The reward you gave me is too much"
Hearing this, Xie An looked back at the girl and said lightly. "That last song is worth two hundred taels!" As he said that, he left without looking back, leaving everyone in the restaurant looking at each other.
Ah, that girl¡¯s last song. It is indeed worth that number to Xie An. Although it was unintentional, what the girl sang exactly matched Xie An's feelings for Su Wan.
Every word is extremely heart-wrenching!
Standing on the streets of Chaoge City and sighing a few times, Xie An headed towards his new residence in Chaoge City.
When he came to the gate of the mansion, he took a look at the former Xie Mansion, the Minister of Punishment, and changed it into the Xie Mansion, King Anle. Xie An's mood did not improve at all.
"An, where have you been? According to people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dajiao Temple, An you left after attending the case of Han Hong and Han Yu and his son at noon"
Seeing Xie An come back, Liang Qiuwu immediately asked where Xie An was that afternoon.
"It's nothing, I just took a walk in the city, found a restaurant and had a few bottles of wine"
"You didn't go to that kind of place, did you?" Liang Qiuwu asked with some suspicion.
"That's weird!" Liu Qing, who came to fight against the autumn wind, responded with a look of contempt.
"There really isn't one this time" Xie An looked helplessly at Liang Qiuwu and Jin Ling'er, who were sniffing around him, and then glared at Liu Qing.
"An, please take off your robe first" Unlike the three women, Yiyi was still so gentle, taking off Xie An's robe and hanging it on the hanger.
"This time, it seems that there is really no smell of those unscrupulous women" After sniffing Xie An's clothes for a long time, Jin Ling'er and Liang Qiuwu looked at each other, and then they let their husband go.??.
Only Changsun Xiangyu was giggling from beginning to end. From time to time, he looked at Xie An with a strange and shuddering look. His beautiful eyes rolled slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After that, the family sat down around the dinner table, and despite some individual instances of hostility among the girls, they were having a good time.
Liang Qiu Wu, Changsun Xiangyu, Yi Yi, Jin Ling'er, Qin Ke'er, Liu Qing, Wang Xin, as well as Nini in Jin Ling'er's arms and Mo Mo in Changsun Xiangyu's arms, looked at the table. Man, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Among the people present, some were his wives and concubines, some were his god-sisters, as well as his sons and daughters. These family members made Xie An, who had been an orphan since childhood, a little excited.
"Where is the old man?" Xie An suddenly asked in surprise.
"Grandfather went to have a drink with Lu Gong and Yin Gong. Today's family banquet will not come" Liang Qiuwu said with some anger. Apparently, it was because his grandfather Liang Qiu Gong used various excuses to have dinner with his old friends. Drinking, not caring about his physical condition and feeling a little dissatisfied.
"Ohwhere's the withered sheep?" Xie An turned to look at Yiyi again.
"Still in the Jizhou Army" Yiyi covered her mouth and smiled, "Kuyang admires General Liao Li very much. Wherever General Liao Li is, he is also there No, I just sent someone to call him. , he just said he couldn¡¯t come"
"This kid" Xie An muttered, and then his eyes fell on the extra pair of bowls and chopsticks again, and asked doubtfully, "If the old man doesn't come, and the dead sheep won't come, what are these bowls and chopsticks ¡¡±
No wonder Xie An was puzzled. After all, today was a family dinner. Apart from Duke Liang Qiu and Kuyang, the only person who could be called a close relative of Xie An was his late brother-in-law Liang Qiu Hao. In this case, this bowl and chopsticks Who was it left to?
"The slave family has invited a distinguished guest" Changsun Xiangyu chuckled and answered her husband's doubts.
"Speaking of which, this distinguished guest is really difficult to invite. He keeps coming over and over again the time has come. Why don't you go and greet him personally?"
Xie An was stunned for a moment, then stood up under the sly smile of Changsun Xiangyu, and walked towards the door of the mansion muttering.
"Should I go to greet him personally? Is it that boy Li Shou?"
When he came outside the mansion, Xie An found that there were none of the distinguished guests that Changsun Xiangyu had mentioned. Instead, snowflakes were gradually falling from the sky. Because the snowflakes were scattered, Xie An was too lazy to find a place to hide.
¡°This year¡¯s snow came extra early¡±
Xie An rubbed his hands and saw no one around, so he leaned behind the stone lion outside the door. After all, the wind in the alley was a little stronger, which made Xie An feel cold.
I don¡¯t know if it was because he was drunk, but Xie An felt a little sleepy and couldn¡¯t help but squint his eyes and doze off.
No matter how long it took, Xie An was surprised to find that the snowflakes falling from the sky no longer seemed to fall on him.
"The snow has stopped?"
After muttering something, Xie An raised his head with intention, and his pupils immediately shrank.
Because he discovered that it was not that the snow had stopped. On the contrary, it was snowing harder and harder. The reason why he did not feel it was because he had a familiar floral paper umbrella on his head, which blocked him from the sky. Snow flakes.
"If you sleep here, you will catch a cold"
A familiar and gentle voice came softly. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
