Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

When I went back to that small shabby house again, I deeply understood a sentence - "A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest."

After walking for several months, when I came back, there was already a thick layer of dust on the table.There was still leftover tea on the table that I drank a few months ago. At that time, I thought I was just going to a restaurant to sit for a while.The tea had already taken on a strange thick brown color, so I quickly poured it out the door, and then wiped all the ashes with a damp rag.After all this work, I lay down on the hard bed, and it really felt like going home.

There probably won't be any movement from the queen mother's side for the time being, and as soon as I'm free, I think of Ajina, the brat.

The moment I saw him, my heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by a pair of big hands.Since I was a child, I heard my father say, "A man never sheds tears lightly", but the guilt surged up, and the tears couldn't help falling down.

He was almost skinny, his narrow shoulders were supported by three sticks, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, showing an iron-blue color, and his two lifeless eyeballs were rolling one after another. Seeing me and When Yun Sui came back, his thin lips seemed to be pulled up by two threads, and he called out in a soft voice: "Master Xu, Uncle Yun!"

I ordered Yunxuan to play with Ah Zhe, and I called Ah Zhe's father out.Before going out, the man took out the cigarette pot and a small bag behind the door.

Before I could ask any questions, he first took out a few pages of "Tanbaku" from his bag, crushed them and lit them on the smoke pot, took a few deep breaths, and after being intoxicated for a while, he sighed: "This child's life is hard, may I I can't survive the first month."

I looked at the three inches of phantom blue smoke above his head, and suddenly felt a little angry, wanting to reprimand him that the child is almost gone, and he is still infected with this harmful thing.But then I thought about it, the child belongs to someone else, and I didn't keep the promise I made, so what position do I have to blame him?

"Sorry, I'm not a living fairy..." I said in a low voice.

He raised his head, and blew out another puff of smoke from the uneven stubble, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't blame yourself, the Taoist priest, everyone is just eating, I can understand, and even As a father, I always look like this now... If you want to blame it, blame me for being too stubborn, first losing my wife and then losing my son..."

As a result, the atmosphere became extraordinarily heavy, and I couldn't stand the smell of "Tanbaku" lingering around him, so I hastily comforted him: "Forget it, forget it, let's go with him for the last part of the journey." Immediately Then went into the house.

Ah Zhe didn't seem to be in a good mood, his head drooped sullenly as if he was about to fall asleep, and Yun Rong didn't seem to have anything to say to him, just sat quietly and looked at him.Ah Zhe's father came in with his cigarette pot after he finished smoking, and he also drooped his head like a cucumber.Looking at the two people, one big and one small, they really looked like a family.

When the four of them got together, they really stopped talking, each thinking about his own concerns.I really couldn't stand the silence, so I got up and said goodbye.Before going out, I forgot to look back, and Yun Rong followed me. The cramped room looked a little gloomy in the dim candlelight, but it really exuded the breath of death.

I was full of thoughts, and just held back for a long time, I took the initiative to talk to Yun Rong: "I used to feel that my fate was hard, but after seeing other people, I feel that life seems really good."

He nodded, and said out of nowhere: "To be able to meet you again, I suddenly feel that I have died so many times without dying, it must be my destiny!"

I suddenly realized that the conversation seemed to be heading in a weird direction, and I quickly blocked his next words: "It's getting late, so I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, before he could answer, I flashed into house.

He didn't seem to have any displeasure at prevaricating him like this, and said softly: "These days are exhausting, you should rest earlier!"

I thought to myself that he had made a mistake. He could write a thousand-character essay to refute me if I said anything casually on weekdays. Now he is so good-tempered again.It's tiring to go back and forth, what a fart, besides eating, drinking and sleeping every day, I travel around the mountains and rivers, and I have gained three catties of fat.

After returning to the capital, life is still the same.I suddenly realized that, in fact, I seem to be nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital. At least every time I put on the skin of a Taoist priest and go bluffing in the streets, there will always be a few bullies who are willing to be my big fat sheep.

In fact, there are still a lot of silver notes that the Queen Mother gave me last time. If there are no other expenses, it will be enough to last for a few more years. Food and clothing are not the reason for me to cheat.However, Yunxuan is idle in the next room every day, either studying or writing poems and paintings for others. Ever since I experienced the night of Jiuchongtian, I was really a little afraid to be alone with him, so I simply used my old job to pass the time.

He and I live alone, and it is troublesome to light a small pot and small stove, so I have reached a certain tacit understanding with him.When I earned money outside, I would go to the market to cut a piece of meat and buy some side dishes. If I was lucky and earned a few pennies that day, I would go to West Street to buy half a catty of sugar-fried chestnuts.After returning home, Yunxuan had already lit the fire and boiled the water, so I could wash my body comfortably.

In this way, the small life is also nourishing.However, some people are comfortable and others are restless.

First, Yan Yin’s confidant—Ministry Minister Yao Heng Yao died suddenly at home, followed by the news that the Empress Dowager’s brother-in-law Liu Yongde was impeached and demoted to Huangzhou, and then the Empress Dowager Liu’s niece and concubine De concubine became pregnant and the empress had a miscarriage. It was reported together, and then the emperor's new policy was carried out in full swing, and a large number of "Queen Dowager Party" officials fell down one after another - one side was the old fox who had listened to politics for many years, and the other was the young emperor who had just formed a climate; It is unstoppable like mushrooms after the rain, the two factions are evenly matched, and the fight is irresistible. It is not yet known who will die.

In addition, news of officials being assassinated at home continued to spread to the market, and people were panicked for a while, and the New Year's Eve came quietly in such a tense atmosphere.

On New Year's Eve, Yun Sui and I went to the market early to buy chicken and fish.Poor people only look forward to this once a year, and it is not sloppy.

I am the least good at cooking. Even if I cut a potato shred, I can cut it as thick as a little finger.It's different for Yunxuan, he had to serve those courtiers in the brothel, and if he couldn't do what they wanted, he would have to be whipped; afterward, he followed the old man Shen Qingcheng, who was probably a master who couldn't take care of himself like me, So when it comes to eating, Yunzhu does have two brushes.

But this is exactly what I want, he is really good at cooking, even if you give him a white radish, he can carve a flower.I sat at the table drinking tea, watching him bustle, and thought to myself, in the future, I have to find someone like him when looking for a daughter-in-law!

But after this idea came up, I always felt that it was weird, so I simply stopped thinking about it and went out to play with the children.
