Lin Ye Xiaoji

Chapter 19

It was night, the lights were on, and the people in the inn were having dinner.

Daliang walked in from the door and said to Zhou Zijian, "Shopkeeper, there is a beggar outside, let me get him two steamed buns."

"Isn't there still hot soup in the kitchen? Give me a bowl too." Zhou Zijian ordered without even raising his eyelids, which shows that people often come to beg in this inn.

"Uncle, there are so many beggars in Xijing City, if they all come, don't they want to eat you up?" Lin Shao asked casually.

"Most of the people who come to beg are missing arms and legs, so they can't live. Otherwise, who can tear their face away and accept the food?" Zhou Zijian smiled and didn't care.

Daliang, who had been out for a while, came in again, still holding a jade pendant, and said: "The beggar outside said, use this to exchange some silver taels with the shopkeeper."

Zhou Zijian took the jade pendant and looked at it. Because he didn't know much about jade, he didn't see anything, so he passed it to Ye Yun for a look.

"This should be a relic from the palace of the previous dynasty. The white jade is warm and moist, suitable for hollowing out and carving into ornaments. The hollowed out is a rooster with smooth feathers and auspicious clouds on its feet. It is the design that was popular in the previous dynasty." Ye Yun Take a closer look at the things in your hand.

"Isn't that very valuable?" Zhou Zijian was a little puzzled, why such a valuable item was in the hands of a beggar.

"Enough to buy ten such inns." Ye Yun roughly estimated the price.

Daliang who was standing next to him was dumbfounded, how valuable is a small jade pendant?Lian Zhou Zijian asked him to invite the person outside the door in, and stood there for a while before moving.

Behind Daliang was a boy about ten years old, who seemed to be unable to exert strength on one leg, and dragged along.The clothes are in tatters, and on a dirty face, only a pair of soft and charming red phoenix eyes can be barely seen.

"Your jade pendant is too precious, you should keep it by yourself." Zhou Zijian motioned the man to sit down and put the jade pendant in front of him.

"Hey, if you really want to exchange money, why don't you go to a pawnshop to pawn it." Seeing how pitiful he was, Lin Shao was a little puzzled.

"The pawnbroker, either doesn't know the goods, or sees me wearing this outfit, and only lowers the price, so he's greedy." This man has a good voice, and his words are like flowing water hitting a stone, and a breeze blowing a leaf, Unconsciously, people moved the heart of compassion.

"If your jade pendant has a legitimate background, I can introduce you to Jia Ji's pawnshop in the east of the city, but his rules are deadly pawnshops, but it won't deceive you much." Zhou Zijian thought for a while before saying.

The man was so grateful that he was about to stand up and salute Zhou Zijian. When he got up, he saw Ye Yun's face and blurted out, "Young Master Ye? Are you Young Master Ye?"

Ye Yun carefully identified the face under the light, but she didn't have any memory.

"Have we met?"

"Young Master Ye has never seen me, but I have seen a portrait of Young Master Ye in the Zhang Mansion."

This person turned out to be from an opera troupe, and was sent by the troupe master to Zhang's mansion to sing for Mr. Zhang.Mr. Zhang has weird hobbies, he does that in the tent, and there is someone outside the tent to sing for him.

One day, Mr. Zhang drank too much, so he hugged him and poured him on the bed.

Although this man is an opera singer, he is also strong and strong, he is not willing to subdue others, and vows not to obey him to the death. In a rage, Mr. Zhang ordered someone to break his legs and throw him outside the mansion.

With a broken leg, how can she still perform on stage and have no money, so she can only beg for food on the street every day.The only valuable thing on her body is the reward she got when she went to the palace to sing with the troupe.If it weren't for the fact that I was so hungry and had no money to buy winter clothes, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive this winter, so I wouldn't have taken out this jade pendant.

"There are many portraits of young masters hanging in his room, and he often says that he wants to bring all the people in those portraits into the room, bah, shameless." The man said bitterly.

"Master Zhang often invites Prince Gong to come to the mansion to listen to operas, and he is in a panic."

"Prince Gong's influence is the most feared by the Holy One today. He has never been allowed to make friends with him. What's more, I have never heard anyone say that Prince Gong will go to the Zhang Mansion." He has heard a little about the matter.

"Because no one knows that Zhang's residence has a tunnel leading to Prince Gong's residence. That lord also took advantage of his power to recruit troops for Prince Gong in the south." The man said coldly, he had spread these words in the market. , was soon beaten and threatened, and no one believed it.

"If you say this, you will lose your head. How do you know?" Lin Shao frowned. He had to wonder how a little actor could know such secrets.

"Alcoholism makes the mind faint. Those sanctimonious people can say anything in bed. Seven out of ten are false, and three out of ten are true." This person probably remembered the scene of singing outside the tent, with a disgusted expression on his face. .

"Once it is confirmed that he is involved with Prince Gong, even if Mr. Zhang has ten mouths, he will not be able to tell clearly. But how can this be known to the current emperor?" Zhou Zijian thought, this is definitely the best chance to bring down Mr. Zhang.

"Shopkeeper, let Lin Shaoqian go to the palace and tell the emperor." Daliang couldn't hold back, and offered advice to everyone.

Lin Shao glanced at Daliang who was in high spirits, and really wanted to pour cold water on him, thinking that the palace is the kitchen in the backyard, anyone can enter?

"The imperial palace is strictly guarded, no one can sneak in casually." Ye Yun was amused by Daliang's proposal.

"However, I know someone who can help us."

The dull atmosphere in the Zhang family lasted all day.

A little bit is like a bean candle, which can only illuminate a small piece of land. The woman knelt in front of the Buddhist hall alone.

"Madam, it's so late, why are you still in the Buddhist hall?" Zhang Kui walked in and asked with concern.

"Buddha is a true speaker, a real speaker, and a non-crazy speaker. The facts are what they are, neither increase nor decrease. But he never speaks. I respect him so much and copy scriptures for him every day. He Knowing the lie, but not telling me."

"Ma'am, you are so devout towards the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva knows it all." Zhang Kui avoided emphatic matters.

"No, the Bodhisattva is punishing me. Master, do you dare to tell me in front of the Bodhisattva that you have never lied to me?" The woman was still kneeling straight.

Zhang Kui remained silent.

"How many things have you lied to me? You already knew that Lin Er was dead, didn't you? The words I heard when I woke up were all fabricated, right? The one who was tied up was not Mr. Accountant, he was obviously a son. And you, You've never been an ordinary businessman, have you?" Every time she said a word, the woman's heart felt like a knife was cut.

"Yes." Zhang Kui replied in a low voice.

"Why are you doing this? I wish you could die! You caused the Lin family to be destroyed, you separated me from Shao'er, you caused me to marry my own enemy, and you gave birth to a daughter for my enemy!" the woman said just now. The back that was still straight suddenly softened, and he lay down on the futon and cried loudly, cursing without choice.

The happiness she had gained in the past ten years turned into bubbles in an instant.In the Buddhist hall of the enemy's house, it is really a big joke to pray for the people who have been killed by the enemy.

"Zhirong, listen to me..." Zhang Kui tried to approach the woman, but the woman pushed him away.

"I didn't participate in Mr. Zhang's incident back then, but I just happened to report to him. At that time, I happened to see you... I saw you being caught by several guards, and I begged Mr. Zhang to send you away. Give it to me, and I swear to be faithful to him all my life."

"If you didn't participate in that incident, why did you hide me? We don't know each other, so why did you save me? After saving me, why did you tell such a lie?" The woman refused to believe Zhang Kui's words at all. , asking word for word.

"Because after saving you, you fell into a coma for half a month. After waking up, in order not to irritate you, I told you that the Lin family and his son were still alive, and I was afraid that you would go to them after waking up, so I made up such a lie. Zhi Rong , I didn't mean to deceive you." Zhang Kui said bitterly.

"I won't believe you, just let me die..." The woman reached out and took the unused lampstand, pointing the pointed end at herself and about to pierce it.

Zhang Kui rushed to grab him, and during the struggle and pushing, the pointed end pierced his abdomen, and the blood soon stained his coat.

The woman let go of her hands in a daze, looked at Zhang Kui's fallen body, knelt down and covered his abdomen with her hands, and asked in a panic, "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do if there is so much blood?"

Zhang Kui raised his hand to the woman's and said softly, "Zhi Rong, the years I've been with you... are the happiest days I've ever lived..."

Hot tears dripped down on the back of Zhang Kui's hands. He watched the woman let go of her hands and told him to find a doctor for him. In the white light, only the back of the woman staggered away.

He thought that he might never have the chance to tell the woman why he saved her at that time.

In my memory, it was March in Yangchun, wrapped in torn cotton wool and a few homeless beggars, nestling in the corner of a shop basking in the sun.The spring is bright and beautiful, catkins are swaying in the wind, and people walking back and forth on the street can't wait to show off their brightly colored new clothes, and they will compare with those flowers that are blooming just right.

A girl in a light blue dress was carrying a small basket, and put a steamed bun and five copper coins in each of their bowls.

He smiled and said to them: "My father said that you are here to prevent us from doing business. I will give you some copper coins. If you take it, you can find some work. You are young and have hands and feet. You will eventually come out."

The beggars walked away with broken bowls, laughing and laughing, no wonder people said they blocked the business, only that the girl in that family was really beautiful, even more beautiful than the peach blossom on the branch.

"In the future, I will come back and marry her." He secretly made up his mind in his heart.

But when he was appreciated by Mr. Zhang with his bravery of not being afraid of death, and finally no longer needed to run around for food and clothing, he returned to his hometown.That shop has changed countless owners, and turned into a tavern, an empty tavern, the owner was drunk, and put a bowl of wine in front of him, chatting with him, but in the end he didn't say anything , Where did the original owner of the shop go? Is the girl from that house married?

We met so early, but you don't remember.

☆, end chapter

All things are stored, and the solar term to avoid the cold is Lidong.

On this day, the emperor will lead civil and military officials to the altar in the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the seasonal good products that have just been harvested, in order to fulfill the responsibility and filial piety of being a grandson.

Ordinary people, on the other hand, will put on new clothes, warm up freshly brewed wine, make dumplings, and put big fish and meat on the table, spending a leisurely day.

Ye Yun has always followed the ancient motto of "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", and he would never go near the place where killing and cooking are done.Lin Shao didn't care, he insisted on pulling him into the kitchen and let him watch him making dumplings.Lin Shao is not very good at making dumplings. Each dumpling is crooked and cannot stand upright, but he enjoys himself.

"Master Ye, you have flour on your face." Lin Shao stared at Ye Yun for a few times and said seriously.

Ye Yun was a little confused. He obviously didn't do anything, so how could he get the flour on it?I wiped a few of them on my face with my hands, and asked, "Is there any more?"

Lin Shao raised his eyebrows and smiled, put down the dumplings in his hand, and said seriously: "There are more."

After finishing speaking, gently wiped the tip of Ye Yun's nose with hands covered in flour, approached his face, and said ambiguously: "Look, there is a big piece of white on the nose, let me wipe it off for you."

The tips of their noses were touching, and Ye Yun's red lips were tempting him to kiss.

"Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye, where are you?" Daliang's voice came from afar, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Lin Shao quickly lowered his head and bit Ye Yun's lips, and licked his nose with the tip of his tongue.Before Daliang came, they separated quickly, still playing with those strangely shaped dumplings, as if nothing had happened.

"..." Ye Yun's face was red and her ears were red. There was really nothing she could do about this person.

"Where is the spice that my uncle asked you to buy? You ran so fast, and there were wild dogs chasing you?" Lin Shao teased him unceremoniously.

"I've brought some big news back, I'm sure you guys want to hear it." Daliang was full of complacency, as if you were going to ask me soon.

"..."

"..."

"Ahem, didn't the emperor take people to sacrifice to heaven today? I don't know what taboo Mr. Zhang has violated. The emperor was furious and said that he was going to raid his house. Then, without any surprise, he found the tunnel. The impeachment of the ministers, the Emperor and I will not be able to protect him. Mr. Ye, who is that person you are looking for? It is so satisfying." Daliang patted his chest and said gloatingly.Thinking in his heart, this could be regarded as revenge for the lame actor.

Ye Yun and Lin Shao looked at each other and smiled, they had already expected such an ending, and did not answer Daliang's question.

At night, the two leaned against the window to drink, the moon was shining brightly in the sky, and when they were drunk, they felt that the white moonlight was like snow, covering the roof, the trees in the courtyard, and the empty streets and alleys.

"I said earlier that I would send you off."

Lin Shao handed the jade flute to Ye Yun, and said with some emotion: "This is a token that my father gave to my mother. It was intended to be passed on to my daughter-in-law. I will give it to you now. Young master Ye, you can take good care of it. "

Ye Yun blushed, nodded, and asked again: "Lin Shao, will you go find them?"

"No, besides, I don't know where they went."

After speaking, she snatched Ye Yun's wine glass, grabbed his wrist, and brought him to her side, letting him lean against her.

"From now on, I will only have you." Lin Shao sighed, a little unconsciously wronged.

The Zhang family in Wutong Lane was empty overnight.Half a month later, a peddler brought Lin Shao a letter. In the letter, more than a dozen pages were filled with Mr. Zhang's criminal evidence. Only a few pens in the last midnight wrote what happened that year, and wrote I hope Lin Shao will stop feeling resentful towards Zhang Kui, but he didn't mention where they went at all.

Ye Yun grabbed his hand, interlocked his fingers, and said softly: "I will always be with you, no matter the ends of the earth."

"Well, let's go back to Juren Village first to visit your mother, then I'll take you to Lushan to see the place where I grew up, and finally, we'll find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to end our lives." Lin Shao dryly described the future life.When others heard this, they might not be interested in it at all.

Ye Yun, however, was full of enthusiasm, and said: "The ancients often placed their affection on mountains and rivers, and we also want to visit famous mountains and find some ancient relics." At the end, he still had doubts: "Then what if we have no money? Won't you be poor?"

"If you don't have any money, you can earn enough money before going on the road. Young Master Ye can become a teacher, and of course I can go hunting in the mountains to exchange money. However, if you don't want to be a teacher, you can stay at home, I will feed you Young master full of leaves."

"Hey, Young Master Ye, are you hungry now?"

Lin Shaoyong rubbed the back of Ye Yun's neck with the tip of his nose and asked.

"Well......"

The second disciple of Lushan actually wanted to go hunting like a villager in the mountains, and he was willing to do so.

At this time, Lushan is another scene.

"Eldest brother, I heard from Master that you are going down the mountain tomorrow?"

Qi Wanwan stood at the door of Ning Feiyu's room, lowered her head, and spoke slowly.

In fact, what she wanted to say was that I just heard from Master that I was going to propose a marriage.Although I usually don't seem to have any feelings for him, but when I heard that he was going to marry someone else, I couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts, and I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart.After much deliberation, I decided to ask clearly.

"Well, I went down the mountain, but I'll be back in five or six days. Do you want me to bring you something?"

"No... nothing..."

Qi Wanwan felt that the ground under her feet was about to be crushed into a hole by herself, and she couldn't hold back what she wanted to ask.

"Wanwan, what exactly do you want to ask?" Ning Feiyu couldn't bear his tangled expression and asked.

"I heard from Master that you are going to propose a marriage."

Qi Wanwan looked up at Ning Feiyu, pretended to be nonchalant, and threw out this sentence lightly.

"Master really tells you everything." Ning Feiyu sighed.

"Then where are you going to propose marriage?"

"Where does Wanwan want me to go?"

Ning Feiyu thought helplessly that she might be the only one in Lushan who didn't know about her secretly falling in love with Qi Wanwan.After thinking about it for a long time, I made this decision. I wanted to tell her slowly, but at this moment, she ran over to ask by herself.

"I don't know, you don't always talk about the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. Who knows where you are going?" Qi Wanwan replied angrily.

Now it's all right, brother Xiao Shao has someone he likes, and the elder brother is going to get married, so she is left alone.

"Of course I went to the house of the girl I like to propose marriage, but I was afraid that the girl would not agree..."

"That girl definitely doesn't like you, and you won't agree to it even if you go to their house!"

Ning Feiyu's words sounded a little sad, but Qi Wanwan didn't want to comfort him at all, so she left without saying a word.

"Wanwan, that girl is the eldest daughter of Jiangdong Qi's family, do you think their family will agree?"

Qi Wanwan staggered and almost fell, but fortunately she managed to stabilize her pace and hurried back to the room, muttering something in her mouth.

"Hmph, who knows."

The author has something to say: I want to write about brain holes because of the lack of literature, but what is it about, hahaha.

But I'm still very happy to end it on the first day of March.

Thank you again for the little angel who read the last chapter, I bow to you~
