The return of the late emperor

Now that they have arrived in the imperial capital, He Wen and his party and Ming Ke have important matters to attend to, so they parted ways after a few polite words.

"Where are we going now?" Xiao Jiu tilted his head and asked Min Ke, he still didn't know what Qu Da was going to do.

Min Ke smiled slightly, with nostalgia on his face, and an indescribably gentle tone: "I will go to visit my old friend later, and you will come with me." If Uncle Qu knows that you are going to visit him, he will be very happy.

The scene of the imperial capital has not changed much from when Ming Ke left a year ago, the street is five feet wide, there are many restaurants and teahouses, all kinds of shops are scattered on both sides of the road, pedestrians are bustling, and there are peddlers and peddlers hawking along the street. .But the scene has not changed, Minke's mood has changed, and now it seems like a lifetime away.

Neither of them had ever integrated into the common life of ordinary people. Once, one of them was trapped in the majestic and solemn palace city, alone in that high, awkward position, and the other spent most of his life in the city. Facing the desolate border, it is half hidden in the cold harem.

So looking at the bustling city in front of him, Ming Ke had a thought, and asked Xiao Jiu to stand there and wait for him, and he would return as soon as he went, but he didn't hear Xiao Jiu's response.

Min Ke only thought that Xiao Jiu agreed, and was about to leave. Xiao Jiu's face suddenly became ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, and his protruding knuckles were also bluish white, and he bit his lip tightly.

He watched Min Ke walk away, and finally he couldn't hold back and chased after him with big strides, then stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and grabbed Min Ke's clothes corner.

Feeling that the corner of his clothes was being pulled, Min Ke turned his head back naturally, but saw Xiao Jiu who was silent and staring at him stubbornly. If it wasn't for his weeping expression, that look would be called fierce.

"What are you doing chasing after me? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at the same place?" Min Ke was a little helpless, and he didn't know what this man was afraid of. Could it be that he could still throw him away? If you have to follow, just follow.

It's just that there are people coming and going on the street, and it's really not plausible to pull and pull, so Min Ke patiently and gently opened Xiao Jiu's fingers that were holding on to the corner of his clothes, but he didn't expect Xiao Jiu to pull even tighter, so he had to say: " Let go of your hand, I will take you, um, good boy."

Automatically ignoring the tone that seemed to be coaxing the child, Xiao Jiu only noticed the content of this sentence, was he finally willing to take him with him? Looking at the back of this person who turned and left, Xiao Jiu realized that he was really Afraid that this person would never come back, he would really leave him alone.He has no memory, no knowledge of the past, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Qu Da, although he had only been together for more than a month, he was still someone he was familiar with.

Xiao Jiu was a little happy at the moment, the feeling was like, something cherished, thought to be lost, but it was lost, so she obediently let go of Min Ke's wrinkled and wrinkled clothes that were pitifully ravaged and ravaged.

Min Ke would not have thought of such a short time. The formerly handsome little general had already turned the little man's mind, but seeing Xiao Jiu let go of his hand, he knew that he had listened to the words, and looked around again. The crowd stretched out their hands very naturally: "Okay, you take my hand, and don't toss my poor clothes."

The hand in front of her is as white as jade, with distinct joints, Xiao Jiu gently stretched out her hand, and then slowly and gently held it, this is the second time, Qu Da is holding your hand for the second time , Xiao Jiu had a villain in her heart saying to herself.

So Ming Ke took Xiao Jiu's hand, walked quickly through the crowded crowd, and walked all the way, Xiao Jiu followed silently behind him, and didn't stop until he reached the door of a pawnshop.

Seeing Xiao Jiu looking at him in doubt, Ming Ke didn't explain too much, but let go of Xiao Jiu's hand and said, "Just follow me and watch." Then he took Xiao Jiu into the pawn shop .

The door curtain with the word pawn written on it is narrow, probably only wide enough to allow two people to enter side by side, except for the curtain, it is a wall made of bluestone bricks, so from the outside, the pawnshop The scale is really small.

Open the curtain, and only when you enter, you will find that the inside is different from other pawnshops where the entrance is the counter. It is extremely spacious. There is a large reception room with tables and chairs made of fine wood and exquisite furnishings. Although there are only a few customers here and there. Scattered and scattered on those expensive and gorgeous wooden chairs, but every guest is waiting beside a master who is in charge of checking the value of the items and a full-time tea boy.

Those customers are not all rich owners who come here to buy antiques, but also poor people whose clothes are full of patches and whose lives are desperate to pawn off some of the few valuables left in their homes. However, this pawnshop treats everyone They are all the same courtesy, so the operator of this shop must have his own way of dealing with people.

After Ming Ke and Xiao Jiu walked in, a little brother with gentle eyebrows and eyes soon came to ask: "Is the guest officer here to treat things or buy old goods?" He belongs to the group of people who came to be things.

Min Ke has seen this little brother before, but his current face, the little brother can't recognize him.As soon as I came here, I ran into the owner of this shop, so things were much easier.

"The elder has passed away. I'm here to pick up the things he put here. By the way, I'm asking my brother to give me some scattered silver." Min Ke smiled slightly.

Qu Chengwen was a little hesitant: "I don't know what the name of the distinguished guest's ancestor is?"

"It's hard to mention his name, but it's a coincidence that he has the same surname as your little brother." Qu Chengwen will understand when he clicks.

Sure enough, after Ming Ke finished speaking, Qu Chengwen immediately confirmed that it was indeed the entrustment of that person.He beckoned the servant to pour tea for Ming Ke and Xiao Jiu, and then hurried into the inner room by himself.

Ming Ke and Xiao Jiu sat down to taste tea. The declining tea is always excellent. It is said that it is the tea species that the Qu family brought back from overseas, and then carefully cultivated on this land. The special tea offered by the royal family is much better. When Uncle Qu was still there, he would often sneak out of the palace to beg for tea.More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and the fragrance of tea was still there, but he couldn't remember what Uncle Qu looked like, and felt disappointed.

Qu Chengwen came back soon, and he handed a box and a stack of banknotes to Ming Ke: "The distinguished guest has finally arrived. Chengwen has been waiting for many years. I will give this to the distinguished guest, and I hope to cherish it."

Of course he will cherish it, after all, it is Uncle Qu's most cherished item, and he will give it to someone who is suitable for keeping it.

Ming Ke didn't talk to Qu Chengwen anymore, got the box, and without saying a word, he directly pulled Xiao Jiu out of the ruins.After leaving the door, Min Ke said, "Didn't I say I would return your pendant, promise, take it." Then he directly stuffed it into Xiao Jiu's arms.

"But, just now..." Xiao Jiu murmured, but then she stopped suddenly, "Then I'll take it, don't go back on your word."

How could I go back on my word? If Uncle Qu knew that you accepted it in the end, he would be very happy. He likes you so much, a junior. Mingke told himself silently that it is best for Xiaojiu, and for that person. That person will not be rare.

Xiao Jiu turned her gaze away, and asked, "Aren't you going to visit an old friend?" He was reluctant to let Min Ke discover his joy at the moment.

Minke came back to his senses, and remembered another reason for coming here: "You probably aren't familiar with the customs here, I'll take you for a walk first, and it won't be too late to go."
