Chapter 6 Adults Worry
Grandma Shen pulled Li Xiaoyao to sit down by the bed and ordered the needle and thread. She lit the lights. While doing the needle and threading, she lowered her voice and said, "At that time in the evening, as soon as you left, Liu Er arrived home, the yellow big, carrying a bottle of old wine and a piece of silk cloth, and passed by! After a long time, the Huang was beaten out by Liu Er. A piece of material was thrown out, and the spill was also thrown out. Liu Er jumped outside and scolded constantly. It turned out!" Grandma Shen stopped the needle and thread, turned her head to look at Li Xiaoyao, her eyes full of mystery and gloating, "The person surnamed Huang actually went to ask for marriage for himself! Tell me, what's the reason! How can you ask for a marriage for yourself?! Anyway, I have to invite a matchmaker. This is the first time I have to come to kiss myself. It's the first time I've seen my wife live these years!"
"That's right, this is not in line with the rules. It's so funny. In fact, this matchmaker doesn't need to be found outside. Grandma is suitable, which is not better than rushing to the door!" Li Xiaoyao turned his mind quickly, looked at Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile. Mrs. Shen suddenly found a bosom friend, clapped her hands, and agreed repeatedly, "That's the reason! I'm not coveting his ideas to thank the matchmaker. You can't get married without a matchmaker. Look, it's not stiff now?! They are all neighbors. How can we meet again in the future? This Huang Da, who has no father or mother, has no one to teach him. It's so bad to act with your brothers and sisters!"
"Brother Huang, just listen to Uncle Liu's scolding? It's really bearable."
"That Huang Da is not a good stubble! He was gloomy and left. He came out of Liu Er's room, locked the door and left. He didn't want the material. I still picked it up and stuffed it in through the crack of the door.
"Oh, Mrs. Liu is also good-looking. It's getting late. Grandma, you should go to bed early. The light is dark. Don't do it for too long, or your eyes will be damaged." After listening to the gossip, Li Xiaoyao jumped up and said goodbye. Mrs. Shen quickly stood up and brushed Li Xiaoyao's clothes: "Grandma is fine. Wait!" Mrs. Shen said, took a palm-sized indigo silk purse from the needle and thread basket and stretched it out to look at Xiao Yao: "Look, isn't it?"
Li Xiaoyao took it over and looked at it. She thanked happily, "Grandma is so awesome. That's it. It's better than I thought. Thank you, grandma!"
"Thank you for everything! How can you go back and rest? It's getting cold. Grandma stuck her soles while the sun was shining today, which was very thick! Make a few pairs of thick shoes for your brothers and sisters.
"Thank you for remembering that I'll ask my eldest brother to send me money for shoes tomorrow."
"Oh, this little girl, as soon as the grandmother glued the soles of her shoes, you asked the eldest brother to send money. I don't know, but I thought you and grandma were close!" Mrs. Shen smiled and gently twisted Li Xiaoyao's cheeks. She joked happily. Li Xiaoyao pinched her purse, smiled and turned into her room.
The next day was the right day for Princess Funing to get married. Li Xiaoyao calculated that he only took three catties of Ajiao dates the first day and sold them out early. He rushed home and changed into a white summer cloth jacket, an indigo trousers, took half a pair of silver, and put a few big money into the indigo purse. He went out and ran to Yicheng Tower.
In front of Yicheng Tower is already a sea of people. Wu's atmosphere is open, and Taiping Mansion is one of the most luxurious and lively places in the world. The royal ceremony can never be watched by the people. Sometimes, this grand ceremony is more like a folk festival.
Li Xiaoyao squeezed in the direction of Yicheng Tower like a swimming fish. After more than a quarter of an hour, he squeezed into the Yicheng Building. Four or five Kong Wu's men stood in front of Yicheng Tower, blocking the crowd of people watching the bustle, so that they would not squeeze in and disturb the distinguished guests who had booked a lot of money.
Li Xiaoyao squeezed into a clerk with sweat on his forehead and asked with a smile, "Has Master Zhijing arrived yet? He asked me to come here to find him. The clerk was stunned and was about to answer when a shopkeeper-like man behind him had already answered: "Is it Fifth Master Li? Mr. Lin has already told me. Come in with me.
The first time he was called 'Master', Li Xiaoyao felt a strange feeling. The clerk turned sideways. Li Xiaoyao hurried up the steps, followed the shopkeeper and went upstairs. The shopkeeper led the two into the easternmost elegant room: "Master, please, this is the best room here. It can be seen at a glance, but it can I've always seen Golden Water Gate." As the shopkeeper walked, he introduced with a smile. He went to the door of Yajian, raised the curtain, watched Li Xiaoyao go in, and then retreated.
The elegant room is very spacious, much more spacious than the Fuzijia room of Changfeng Building. There is a carved round table in the middle, and the table is full of various snacks and fruits. Mr. Lin sat on the head and was chatting with Zhijing about tea. Li Xiaoyao came in to see the ceremony. Zhijing lit the fan in her hand and lit the opposite side: "Don't talk about those false gifts, sit down, today What kind of tea does God want to drink? Longjing? This snow bud is really good today. Would you like to have a try?
"Hmm." Li Xiaoyao nodded and agreed. Chang followed him and served tea. Li Xiaoyao picked it up and smelled it and slowly took a sip.
"How about it?" Zhijing asked with concern, and Li Xiaoyao nodded,
"Well, it tastes good."
"My son got some good Pu tea, which happened to be brought today. If you don't like this, let someone make Pu tea for you." Mr. Lin looked at Li Xiaoyao and said casually. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly focused on two times, "This tea is very delicious. I don't know how to praise it, but I don't know how to praise it. That's good. Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Zhijing laughed and lit the snacks all over the table with a fan: "Eat some first. The wedding is stupid, and it will take a while."
Li Xiaoyao responded with a smile, leaned his head, looked at the table, stood up, picked up a plate of sheep's feet, and ate slowly. Mr. Lin drank tea, looked at her for a while, turned his head and continued to talk to Zhijing: "Are you really going to Chuannan?"
"Well, it's better to avoid it. If the dark tide is surging today, it looks good on the surface, but it's very dangerous inside. I think it's better for you to go back to your hometown for a year or two." Zhijing waved the fan and looked at Mr. Lin's suggestion. Mr. Mr. Lin glanced at Li Xiaoyao, who was focusing on eating sheep's feet, and replied, "Well, let's talk about it. When will you come back?"
"Come back when it's time to come back." Zhijing finished drinking the tea in the cup and turned to order the servant: "Make a pot of tea."
The servant agreed. In a moment, she changed the simple rough pottery cup and re-prink the Pu tea for the three of them. Li Xiaoyao took a sip and narrowed her eyes. The aftertaste at the root of her tongue was sweet and refreshing, and the tea next to her was incomparable in any way. She once flew to Yunnan to buy those old Pu tea. Er cooked tea, this is her great love. The Pu'er received by Mr. Lin is better than the so-called best tea she bought in those years. Moreover, these two are also very exquisite. They are very particular about the water and utensils used to make tea. This tea to the elegant pot cup can be in line with her heart. It's really enjoyable to drink!
Zhijing looked at Li Xiaoyao with a happy face, shook her head as if nothing, looked at Mr. Lin, and then said their gossip, "I heard that Su Zicheng's kung fu is excellent."
"Well, I asked General Wen before. General Wen is extremely afraid of him and is as powerful as his brother."
"When Su Ziyi destroyed Beining, he slaughtered Ning'an City. Alas, sin, a hundred years of prosperity, once destroyed, I heard that the blood of the direct killing became a river." Zhijing put down the cup and said with emotion. Mr. Lin's face was gloomy: "Beiping destroyed Beining and had a full meal. He has been quiet for four or five years. Now he has almost digested it. Su Ziyi is not a good stubble. I don't know what he thought this time. I heard that after he slaughtered Ning'an City, his character has changed a lot, and now it has spread that Some generous reputation, hum! Broadness?!" Mr. Lin showed a sneer on his face: "The Su family, the Emperor Jian'an is really generous, but it's useless to be generous. When he was young, he was at the mercy of the filial queen. After all officials only knew that there was filial piety, they didn't know the emperor. When the filial queen died, they would be at the mercy of their sons."
"Today's queen has also had a son and a daughter. What are the qualifications of this queen and the youngest son? If someone can give us some advice and support this mother and son, it will be the blessing of our State of Wu.
Mr. Lin was silent for a long time, sighed, and said in a low voice, "I have talked about this with my uncle, and some people in the court have tried it. Unfortunately, the Su Ziyi brothers are full of wings, and the late filial queen's family is all over the court and the country. Alas, it's difficult!"
"There is always something to do."
"Hmm." Mr. Lin was silent for a long time, nodded, and Zhijing changed the topic with ahe: "We are worried about the ancients. Not to mention this, since the Su brothers came to marry Funing, they just wanted to make friends with the State of Wu. For a while, the State of Wu is fine. Let's be free and avoid the disaster in the court and the palace."
"You're right. Take care of your eyes first, so as not to be destroyed by outsiders, but be killed by your own people first." Mr. Lin said with a smile. Zhijing patted the fan and stood up. He walked to the window and shook the fan to look downstairs. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly put down his chopsticks and stood up. Mr. Lin quickly raised his hand to stop her: "It's not yet. You can eat at ease. It's not too late to come and see when you hear the gunfire."
Li Xiaoyao nodded, sat back obediently, and continued to struggle for the delicious dish.
Mr. Lin went to Zhijing and stood, shook the folding fan, and looked down at the crowded and bustling market. He sighed and sighed in a low voice, "Dijing has been peaceful for a long time. His white hair is drooping. He is only encouraged and ignorant of fighting. Once the war breaks out, what should he do?"
Zhijing slowly shook the fan and did not speak. Li Xiaoyao looked at the sheep's feet on the plate, but in fact, he listened attentively to the words of the two. This Empress Xiaoci is a great figure. Is Ning'an Tucheng also like Yangzhou for ten days? What I don't understand most is that the matter of slaughtering the city has been beaten down, and then killed again and again. Isn't it all their own people and money? It's so boring.
