Shanglin Night Snow

That night, Guo Kai visited Nancheng again.

He led the horse and stood in front of the wooden door that was whitened by the moonlight. He raised his hand several times and put it down again, but he couldn't bear to knock—because what he brought today was not good news.

It is also said that Xun Miao's luck was not perfect, and the marriage that had been agreed upon at first suddenly changed again: news came from Yan's family, saying that it was not suitable for women to wait for a long time, and they hoped that the women would be suitable for a year ago. The family must buy a house in central Beijing for living after marriage.And this request is really unreasonable!

Everyone knows that within the capital of the Daxi Dynasty, every inch of land is worth as much as gold!Don't say that he is Xun Miao's seventh-rank Secretary Cheng, even if he is the prime minister of the dynasty, it is not easy to buy a house and land in this capital.And with Xun Miao's current salary, even if he spends thirty to fifty years with salted fish and porridge and sits on the ground every day, he may not be able to achieve his wish.So Yan's family made this request, obviously out of intention to make things difficult, with the purpose of regretting the marriage.

The princess asked Guo Jian to find out that there was indeed another candidate for the Yan family.

Since the Yan family was in a favorable position, the princess thought it would be no pity to let go of the marriage. Although Guo Kai agreed, it was uneasy after all. His disappointed eyes were full of shame.

After several hesitation, he finally knocked on the frivolous courtyard door.After a slight sound of kicking that didn't sound like a human voice, two dogs barked from inside the door. Guo Kai took out a paper bag from his sleeve, took out the dried meat and threw it into the courtyard. Go, after a while, there was another sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and then it was the sound of the door bolt being lowered.

Stepping into the courtyard, he lightly kicked the black dog Xifu who was greeted by the owner before him. Guo Kai took another piece of meat from the paper bag and threw it at him, but cursed: "This beast is now a savage!" , You have to feed first before returning to the house to call people."

Xun Miao smiled wryly: "It's not that he was raped by Brother Guo. After returning from the military camp, the beast was much more peaceful. It ate a lot every day, but Brother Guo always brought meat with him when he came back. This has become a habit. Nowadays, there is no food without meat, and once the meal is not satisfactory, you will go on a hunger strike and sit down to vent your anger on me, and it is even more extortionate to blackmail visitors, and if you don’t feed them, you won’t let them in, you are a real scoundrel.”

Saying so, the two entered the house together.Guo Kai kicked away the black dog that was circling around him all the way, but after all he didn't know how to get there, so he had to follow him everywhere to greet him.

Now when it comes to salary, the man showed joy: "Now there are ten more cash per month, [-]% increase in salary, and more or less increases in other things." Looking closer, he looked complacent: "Brother Guo, let's not hide it. Previously, my situation has improved a lot now. I paid off my debts last year, and this year, under the persuasion of my uncle, I repaired the old house. Apart from comforting the ancestors, it can be regarded as revitalizing the family style! Moreover, they all say that when I drink water, I think about the source. When I was sleepy, I have been supported by the people of the clan, because from now on, I will give out a hundred guan to help the poor in the family... I have roughly calculated, but if I am more frugal, within two years, I may be able to accumulate a thousand guan, and then I will go to the city to have fun Let’s rent another spacious courtyard house, buy some belongings, and give the bride price to take the bride.”

Sighing secretly, although Guo Kai didn't want to spoil people's interest, he couldn't let him indulge in this illusory fantasy, and after thinking about it, he said vaguely: "However, I heard that the Yan family intends to let the daughter go out this year... "

"This year??" Xun Miao was surprised: "So urgent? However, I and the two elders of the Yan family originally agreed to hire at the turn of spring and summer next year..." After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth: "Forget it, this year is this year! Brother Guo, please do it for me Spread the word, I don't intend to ask the Yan family and the daughter's dowry, can I invite the two elders and don't ask for money?"

"This..." Guo Kai hesitated, his footsteps were slightly chaotic, and the black dog who had jumped to please Cheng Huan stumbled on one knee, and the paper bag in his hand fell in response, and a black shadow flashed in front of him. Since there is no return.Fortunately, this kneeling made the previous topic unsustainable.

After scolding the dog, Guo Kai sat down.

The leftovers on the table have not been cleared away, the man laughed: "Wait for me to wash it up, and then I will have a cup of tea with my brother and talk about it."

Guo Kai couldn't help frowning: "In addition to your salary, you still have food and clothing for your followers, why don't you have some servants and maidservants at home?"

He poured the leftovers into the dog food bowl behind the door, the man didn't answer for a while, but knocked on the empty bowl with his chopsticks, but no black dog showed up, thinking that the animal was hiding somewhere in the yard and munching on dried meat, he said "I'm sorry" and went out by myself.Guo Kai was bored by himself, so he flipped through the three-inch-thick stack of "Anecdote" records that he brought with him. These were the recent investigations by the Secretary of the Imperial City.

Or after a long period of silence, Guo Kai watched as his eyelids couldn't stop falling, and he became dizzy for a while.I don't know when, I suddenly heard someone's voice asking "How much does it take...", suddenly woke up, and hurriedly said: "There is a purpose, the number of words in this first draft is limited to less than [-] words!"

Hearing a sudden laugh, "Brother Guo is too tired, right? Are you taking advantage of this moment to meet the Duke of Zhou?"

Dazed, Guo Kai raised his head and saw that there were two more children in front of the table, and they were spreading some food and wine on the table.The man cut the wick with scissors, and explained: "It's still early, I've prepared some food and drink, it's not too late for you and me to have a drink and gossip before we go back."

After a while, everything was settled properly, and the two boys went away happily with the few rewards they got.Guo Kai came to a sudden: his entourage's clothing and food, I think that's how he used it...

After a few glasses of wine, Xun Miao continued to babble as usual. All the talk at the moment was about the wedding. From the betrothal gift, to the matchmaker, to the invitation of guests, and how to deal with the banquet, the number of people at the banquet, etc., it is almost unacceptable. Guo Kai interjected.Seeing him like this, Guo Kai became more and more at a loss as to how to open his mouth to explain the divorce to him in detail, and was sad for a while, so he just drank in silence.

The two talked, listened, moved and remained still. After drinking for half an hour, Guo Kai fell into a coma again for some reason.When I was in a daze, I felt a warm wind lingering around my neck, making my ears feel dry, my heart flustered and short of breath... In a trance, it seemed that I was back on the carriage of that day, and the soft fragrance of nephrite poured into my bosom, which made me feel at ease. Ape, can't help it...

Opening her eyes in confusion, her gaze was occupied by an enlarged face: at first glance, her nose and red lips are very attractive.

Is it a dream?As soon as this thought comes to mind, the scruples are gone, and Xinxin welcomes forward——

"Brother Guo, I have something to say, it's really hard to talk about it on weekdays, but I still have to ask someone close to me for advice..." The two red lips on that face suddenly opened and closed, and they actually made a sound.

Guo Kai woke up with a start: This is not in a dream, in front of his eyes, nor in his mind!However, it was too late, I don't know whether it was posted from the front or the person from the opposite side, in short, I felt a heat on my lips, and my mind was empty.

The old scene reappears!However, the situation seems to be different.

Confused, Guo Kai subconsciously stretched out his hand to push the other person away, but he didn't want to use too much force, and saw that person fell straight from the stool!Afraid that he might be injured, Guo Kai leaned over to check, but saw that his face was pale, his eyes were slightly closed, his breath was heavy, he was really drunk.

Just as he was at a loss, the man opened his eyes again, their eyes were empty, he obviously didn't know the situation, but he grabbed his clothes and murmured: "Brother Guo, don't laugh at me, but I have never experienced the matter of men and women, because it is a flower candle. Night, but I'm afraid..."

At first glance, Guo Kai thought he had heard wrong.

The man collapsed like mud again.Guo Kai went to help him, but he saw his eyebrows tense, he turned his head and opened his mouth and vomited, intermittently for about half a quarter of an hour.Afterwards, Guo Kai wanted to help him to bed, but the one who gave birth to him was so drunk that he was like a drowning person, clinging to a person close to him, he would grab a floating board on the ocean, and he would not let go easily. The macaques hanging from the old vines were swinging back and forth, rubbing and rubbing against each other, making people helpless.Finally put it on the couch, but Guo Kai was sweating all over himself.

After a short rest, Guo Kai went out to fetch water, intending to scrub the drunk.I didn't want to go to the well, and suddenly heard the sound of whimpering in my ears, as if struggling to die, I followed the sound, and found the black dog Xifu in the corner, lying on the side with all four limbs stretched out like a human being, with a huge dog head Drooping and motionless, if it weren't for the occasional sob or two, one would think that it had died suddenly!

Could it be poisoning?Thinking of this, Guo Kai's heart tightened, and he quickly squatted down to check. At this moment, he saw the dog's body tremble, and by the moonlight, he saw something overflowing from his mouth, and it was the familiar sour smell!Only then did I remember that when the person was in high spirits just now, he said that "the happiness of a person should be as happy as that of chickens and dogs", so he poured half a bowl of wine into the dog food bowl...

This room is so good, people and dogs are drunk, everyone is happy!

Guo Kai sighed for his bad luck, so he had to take soil to cover up the dirt, pour some water into the dog bowl for drinking, and then turned back to the house, unexpectedly the drunk man was no longer on the bed!Now I searched inside and out, but still couldn't find him, just because I was worried, I suddenly heard the movement inside, followed the sound, opened the green cloth curtain, and suddenly saw a naked man lying on the half of the person. Sleeping soundly in a high bathtub—presumably I want to take a bath, but unfortunately there is no water in the bucket...

Just as he was sighing, he saw the person in the barrel move, and he woke up, clamoring for a bath.Guo Kai couldn't help it, so he found some hot water and mixed it with cold water, poured it into a basin and drenched him from top to bottom. After washing, he pulled him up and wiped him, and wanted to dress him and throw him back on the bed. The man reverted to his old ways, and hung on the human body like a macaque, clutching his shoulders tightly and never letting go, that's all, but those two long legs also followed the trend to climb up his waist-it seems that he really turned him into a tree that can be used as a sacrifice. Old tree for climbing.

Guo Kai was in a panic: he pulled the hand on his shoulder with great difficulty, and a restless leg climbed up again, and Fang pressed the leg down, and put his thin waist on it without any scruples... Not to mention he was at a loss, but he didn't know what to do with his eyes Where should it be placed.In desperation, he raised his hand and took a picture——

With a "snap", the body under his hands trembled slightly, followed by a grunt in his throat, and the familiar hot breath of wine sprayed back on his neck, making people feel distracted, and suddenly felt that the touch of his hands was smooth and delicate, making him feel People are reluctant to let go...
