On the street outside Baihua Pavilion, Yun Jing declined Xia Tao's entourage to give him a ride. Standing on the street with people coming and going, he looked up and looked at the last ray of light on the horizon, slightly lost in thought.
This is the time when Baihua Pavilion's business is at its peak, with cars and horses, crowds of people, cheers, and sweet words.
He withdrew his gaze, looked back at the gate of Baihua Pavilion, and then walked away.
Yunjing suddenly wanted to drink. There was no reason, he just wanted to have a drink.
But who should I drink with? I don’t know many people here in the capital, and there are only two people I’m close with. Master Deng is busy, and the age gap is too big, so it’s not suitable. The eldest princess... forget it, Master will be afraid if he knows.
He wanted to beat someone, but Ye Tian was too young to drink.
Wow, I couldn’t find anyone suitable to drink with me for a while, which was a bit melancholy.
Hundreds of flowers are blooming in the warm pavilion, and the guests and friends are all laughing in the spring breeze. There is no way in the world that people are thinking about their origins. Who would say that thousands of families are in sorrow...
What a wonderful world. Look, the city is full of glitz and glamor. Look, the mountains and rivers outside the city are illuminated by the moon and the wind. The reason is that the two types of people are different.
"I am just a mortal, with thoughts and feelings. Occasionally, sadness and joy arise in my heart. My sorrow is like the spring breeze, and my sighs are like the spring breeze. The moon is bright at night. I think I am a passer-by who is too hasty..."
As you walk, you will see the cloud scenery, people are in the world of mortals, and your heart is also in the world of mortals.
Under the willow branches, the night wind ruffled the willow branches and also lifted the Magnolia girl's hair.
She watched Yun Jing's figure slowly disappearing into the crowd. She almost wanted to chase him, but she couldn't move forward.
"Miss, let's go back," a maid next to her said in a complicated tone, but she hesitated, and the word "sorrow" fell into her heart.
Reluctantly looking away, Yulan hummed softly.
The maid couldn't help but said: "Miss, don't make yourself miserable."
"You girl, how do you know I'm suffering?" Yulan laughed.
Pouting her lips, the maid said: "You said it's not hard, but you look like this, and my whole daughter's family feels distressed."
"Let's go, go back." After knocking the maid on the head, Yulan glanced at the direction Yunjing left again and said.
She also looked in that direction, and the maid thought to herself that Mr. Yun is really very harmful to people. If my young lady meets you, she will probably have her heart broken to pieces in her lifetime.
"He must have a lot of worries in his heart. Who can tell him how to relieve his worries, even a little bit..." Yulan murmured.
The maid didn't hear clearly and subconsciously asked: "Miss, what did you say?"
"It's nothing. By the way, you've grown up. After all, staying in Baihua Pavilion won't last long. Let's find a suitable one and get married some other time." Yulan said jokingly, looking at the maid beside her.
The maid quickly shook her head and said: "No, I want to follow you, miss, and serve you all my life."
"Girls will eventually get married," Yu Lan said dumbly.
With a roll of her eyes, the maid said: "If you don't want to marry, just follow the lady. When the lady finds a husband, I will be the maid who warms the bed."
"Huh huh, you have a good idea," Yu Lan suddenly said warily.
The maid giggled and said: "Miss, after you find your husband, there will always be inconveniences. Then I can help you serve your husband."
"...Yes." Yulan thought that there was nothing wrong with it. After all, this situation is too normal. If you find your beloved at a time when it is inconvenient for you, you can't let him endure it, so it is still necessary to marry a maid.
But...hey, I'm afraid there won't be such a day. It's rare to have a moment with each other. The gap is too big, how can we dare to ask for too much.
Here in the capital, Yunjing couldn't think of anyone suitable to drink with, so he didn't hesitate. He simply bought a jar of wine to drink. A jar of strong liquor weighed more than ten kilograms. He carried it in his hand and walked down the street at night, drinking it from time to time.
After one sip, looking at the various behaviors of the world, it feels a bit bohemian and wild.
Even in places like the capital, there are more beggars than usual. They are huddled in the corner, looking at the crowd eagerly, hoping for some charity.
Yunjing has lived a hard life and won't think about why they don't work when they have hands and feet. Except for real lazy people, as long as they can survive, who will beg and be despised?
Yunjing is not stingy when he encounters beggars who are desperate, but he will not give more. Three copper coins are barely enough to afford a full meal. It is wise to help the urgent, not the poor.
Yunjing was obviously not the only one who was in a bad mood. When he passed by a street corner, he paused for a moment while holding the wine jar and preparing to take a sip. He turned around and couldn't help but laugh.
At the corner of the street, under the leafy banyan tree, a fat man in gorgeous clothes squatted there and muttered. Ten meters away from the fat man, more than a dozen maids and servants looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Don't dare to come forward to disturb, just guard. Anyone who dares to come forward will be attacked by the fat man.
"What did I do? It was a good marriage, but now people don't want to look at me because of my messy behavior. It's annoying even for me. What a sin." The fat man continued to mutter.
He was obviously drunk, his face was red and he smelled of alcohol. He was shaking so hard that he would fall down at any time, and he was almost crying.
And the person he was talking to was a dog, an old yellow dog who dared to be angry but dared not speak. He almost rolled his eyes when the fat man hugged his neck.
That old yellow dog didn't dare to move. If he dared to move one, Fatty's subordinates might not be able to make it into a dog meat hot pot on the spot!
There is no other way, the old yellow dog can only let the fat man complain to him.
If it could speak, it would definitely yell, "I'm just a dog. It's useless for you to tell me this. Is this something humans do?"
"What should I do? The wedding is coming soon, but she dislikes me for looking like this. She won't even touch me with her hands. I look like this. I'm afraid she won't touch me even after we get married. I'm so fat just looking at it.
Disgusting, vomiting...
, the fat man continued to mutter, opened his mouth and sprayed, the dog almost fainted from drunkenness.
It endured it, this damn fat man couldn't afford to offend him.
There were passers-by around who wanted to stay and watch the show, but under the looks of the fat man's servants, they all pretended not to see him and hurried away. It was not known which young master was drunk here and went crazy.
Yun Jing walked over with the wine jar, which immediately aroused the alert of Fatty's subordinates. Seeing that he was dressed as a scholar, he did not say anything to drive him away, but was wary of him to prevent him from getting too close and not harming Fatty.
After taking a look at the fat man, Yunjing took a sip of wine. The guy vomited all over the floor. Yunjing also disliked it and didn't want to get close. What's more, the guy seemed unable to communicate, so he curiously asked the nearest fat man's guard,
Said: "What's going on with your young master?"
The middle-aged man in black dressed in black by Yun Jingwen has a cultivation level in the middle stage of Zhenyijing. He is obviously the head guard of the fat man. With such a guard, one can imagine how extraordinary the fat man's identity is.
The other party was stunned when he heard this, and said slightly puzzled: "Does this young master recognize my young master?"
"We had a chance encounter, and by the way, this guy still owes me a sum of money." Yun Dingding nodded. The three copper coins at the beginning were just money, and judging from the situation of the guy at the beginning, three copper coins could almost save him.
life.
If not for the fact that almost no one in the Dali Dynasty dared to pretend to be a scholar, the middle-aged guards of Zhenyijing would have regarded Yunjing as a liar and sent him to the government. Just kidding, who is my young master? How can he owe you money?
Fang Fang slightly cupped his hands and said: "I dare to ask you how to call this young master. I am too blind to be a friend of the young master in person, so I hope you can bear with me."
"My surname is Yun Dan, and my last name is Jing. I have only met your young master once. It's normal that you don't know me." Yun Jing said with a smile, then raised the wine jar and said politely: "Drink some?"
When he heard Yun Jing introduce himself, Fatty's guard looked at him subconsciously, with an expression on his face that he was Yun Jing.
As Fatty's personal bodyguards, these people had followed Fatty to Qingjiang City to specifically look for Yunjing. However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, they had not been able to see Yunjing during the trip, but now they did not expect to meet him here.
I saw my young master in trouble.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
If the young master knew that his friends saw him like this after he sobered up, he would probably want to die.
Since it was Yunjing, Fatty's guards relaxed their vigilance a little, and the guard leader in the middle stage of True Artistic Realm said:
"It turns out that Mr. Yun is in person. Thank you Mr. Yun for your kindness. It is not convenient for me and others to drink because of our duties.
My young master has mentioned Young Master Yun countless times and introduced you as a confidant. Now that the young master is drunk and acting petty and refuses to leave, it has become a joke. How about Mr. Yun help to persuade my young master? It will not be a problem if this continues."
Speaking of which, these Jinshan guards are extremely embarrassed. My young master hugged a dog and had a heart-to-heart talk on the street after being drunk. What kind of thing is this? If word spreads, many people will laugh to death.
Anyway, there will definitely be people everywhere talking about this tomorrow morning, and I am afraid that the end of the world will not be easy for people like me.
Yunjing took another sip of wine, looked at Jinshan and asked curiously: "What's wrong with him? He's so good that he hugs a dog and talks to each other?"
Can you not be curious, this is something a human being can do? The dignified eldest son of the Jin family, the wealthy diamond king Laowu, such big news, Yunjing is also happy to eat melons, and his mood is much better.
Regarding this question, the guard leader said vaguely and awkwardly: "What about that? It's not because of my young master's obesity."
Yunjing instantly understood that Jinshan was now three points fatter than Yunjing's friend Zhou Jintai. One can imagine how much trouble came with it.
Then Yunjing asked curiously: "I remember that he was a handsome and energetic young man at the time. How come he has become as fat as a ball after not seeing him for more than a year?"
Considering that Jinshan had traveled thousands of miles to find Yunjing, and that the two of them had a good relationship, the head guard revealed a little bit and said, "Well, last year my master arranged a marriage for the young master. He initially
I refused because I wanted to make myself fat. I ended up getting fat, but I fell in love with that woman. Then he couldn't lose weight and became fatter. You said this is causing trouble."
Yun Jing suddenly realized that Yun Jing had heard about the marriage between the extremely wealthy eldest young master of the Jin family and the daughter of the eldest prince's family. This is what the relationship was like.
It was your own fault, and you wanted to mess up your marriage, but you ended up getting so fat that you became so fat, not to mention the princess, even the dogs would shake their heads.
Yun Jing said speechlessly: "No matter how I try to persuade him, I can't communicate with him, but it won't be a problem if this continues. Why don't you just take him away?"
Taking Jinshan away must be very simple for these guards, but the guard leader was entangled: "The young master refuses to leave, threatening to die with anyone who touches him. Well, although my young master is not a martial artist, he has
A lot of powerful and dangerous things.”
As the dignified eldest son of the Jin family, it is reasonable for him to have some dangerous items on him. Especially when he is drunk, if he really wants to die with others, he probably can do it.
Just when Yunjing was thinking about whether to help this guy who was drunk and making nonsense back, there was a muffled bang and Jinshan fell directly to the ground, causing the old yellow dog in his arms to squeal.
His throat was so tight that he was almost breathless, and he kept sticking out his tongue.
Shrugging, Yun Jing said: "Don't worry about it, just take it away. I'll try to persuade him more in the future and don't let him drink so much again."
"Then let's leave first and let Mr. Yun see the joke," the guard leader said awkwardly, while the others rushed towards Jinshan in a swarm. Good guy, he is covered in his own vomit. It's as disgusting as you want.
Jinshan suddenly woke up after being helped up. With drunken eyes, he looked around and shouted: "Master Yun, which Master Yun? Could it be my brother Yun? Where is he? I have been looking for it for a long time. Come here quickly and I will give you
Look at what a big baby you are, let me tell you, I remember the way you were scratching your head back then, and I will envy you to death if you don’t."
This guy, even when he was drunk, still remembers what happened in the past. He is about to regain his place.
The devil wants to see your big baby. Yunjing said with a look of disgust: "Take him away quickly. Let's meet up another day when he is awake and free."
"If I don't leave, I won't leave. I want to show my brother Yun the big treasure. I want him to know that I didn't brag at the beginning. I am really rich, very rich. His picky character is not good and needs to be changed.
"It's just about money, I have it," Jinshan said in a daze.
The servant who was supporting him was so embarrassed that he almost left the three rooms and one living room with his toes. Master, please stop talking. The shame will be left to grandma's house.
Yunjing walked away and looked away, as if he didn't recognize this guy.
After walking two steps, Yun Jing suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped out. He stretched out his hand like lightning and with a soft buzzing sound, he caught a gold and iron arrow that was heading straight for Jinshan Mountain.
The arrow buzzed and trembled in Yunjing's hand, and even sparked a spark.
Grasping the arrow, Yun Jing looked towards the darkness in the distance. Before he could take any action, a person in the early stage of True Inspiration within Jinshan's guards had already rushed towards that direction and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The rest of the guards were alert to protect Jinshan, but they did not panic at all. It seemed that this kind of thing had become commonplace.
Then the guard leader who had been talking to Yun Jing came to Yun Jing's side with an ugly face and apologized: "Master Yun, are you okay?"
He was not worried about Jinshan, but he was worried about Yunjing. When he spoke, he had a frightened expression on his face. After all, the arrow was obviously aimed at Jinshan. They were confident that they could protect Jinshan, but what if something unexpected happened to Yunjing?
, not to mention anything else, just being a Yunjing scholar is a big deal.
Weighing the gold and iron arrow in his hand, Yunjing shook his head and said, "No need to worry, I'm fine. This is not an ordinary object, it can kill an ordinary innate warrior. The other party wants your young master's life."
"It's all right. Mr. Yun is very skilled. Mr. Yun, don't worry about this. This is the fifteenth time this month. The enemy is determined to be evil." Jinshan's guard leader said with an ugly expression.
Yunjing immediately understood something. The marriage between Jinshan and the princess of the eldest prince's family may have some twists and turns because Jinshan deliberately made himself fat, but it was already a certainty, so some people must not
I want to see this happen, so I'm trying every means to destroy it!
After thinking about this, Yun Jing was speechless and said: "There is an enemy hiding behind your name waiting for an opportunity, and you dare to lead him around?"
"That's what you say, but you can't dare to go out just because there are enemies, right?", the guard leader struggled, and then he simply changed the subject and said: "The person behind the scenes is targeting my young master, Mr. Yun just happened to meet him.
, I almost got Mr. Yun in trouble this time, but luckily nothing happened, and we will make amends afterwards."
"Forget it as compensation, it can't hurt me. As long as you are here, this arrow can't hurt your young master's fur. Anyway, just be careful." Yunjing shook his head and handed the arrow to the other party.
They definitely want to track down the person behind it, maybe this arrow will be useful.
At this moment, the guard who left before had returned, carrying a man in black in his hand, but he was already dead. He had taken poison and was unrecognizable. He was obviously a dead soldier and left no clues.
"It's dead, again, we couldn't catch him alive." The man who came back dropped the body and said with an ugly look on his face.
The guard leader took a look and waved his hand: "Bring it to the government for further investigation. Before the young master's wedding, or even from the young master's engagement, until certain things are settled, it will definitely not be the last time!"
The body was taken away quickly. They were obviously used to this kind of thing.
Then the guard leader looked at Yun Jing and said, "Mr. Yun, my young master is asleep. Please say goodbye and leave quickly."
"Well, farewell," Yun Dingding nodded.
The assassin was not targeting him, and he killed him decisively as soon as the operation failed. Even Yunjing would have had a hard time tracking down the person behind it without a lot of effort.
He doesn't intend to get involved in these things, so just don't mess with him.
When they left, Yunjing thought for a moment and walked away.
It's a troubled year. We just woke up early in the morning. People's hearts are in turmoil. The third prince is leading the army and has gained military power. There is also a wife behind him. The second prince Xia Tao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the disaster, he has a sharp tool like a relief society and can operate a little.
He can measure and gather people's hearts, and he has the method of dealing with the disaster that he and I discussed before. If it is done well, there is much to be done. As for the eldest prince, who is married to the Jin family, with this great help, the Emperor's Sword will be even more powerful as the disaster comes.
Intensifying...
All kinds of messy things come together. If you don't pay attention, these peaceful days will come to an end!
There was no point in thinking about it any more. Yunjing took the last sip of wine and took advantage of the night to not shy away from so many things. He quietly rose into the sky and flew towards home.
In the small courtyard outside Niujiao Town, the cloud scenery returns after stepping on the moon. There is always a lantern in front of the door to illuminate the space for him.
"The official is back, I'm going to prepare hot water for you to wash up." Bai Zhi immediately got up, put on some clothes and got busy. She smelled the alcohol smell on Yun Jing's body and decided to make another hangover soup.
Yunjing didn't stop him either. Looking at her busy figure, he felt that a dull life was the most comfortable. But in this world, just such a life is just a luxury wish for countless people, especially This is the current situation. Even if I am afraid, it will be difficult for me to live such a peaceful life for a long time.
It's not that Yunjing wants to do anything to break the tranquility of life, but that given the general trend, who can be alone in this world?
"Officials wash their feet." While the hangover soup was not ready yet, Bai Zhi brought a basin of hot water and squatted in front of Yun Jing and said softly, taking off his shoes and massaging them with his bare hands in the warm water.
Feeling comfortable, Yun Jing breathed out softly. He looked at Bai Zhi who was pressing his feet and said, "I won't disturb your rest, right?"
"No, I just put on my clothes and lay down. I thought the official had gone to see sister Xingyu and wouldn't come today." Bai Zhi shook her head and smiled.
Yun Jing: "She has been busy during this period. The Willow Leaf Sword Sect has been on the right track after merging with the other two parties. Now everything is not peaceful, so I didn't bother her. I went to the capital before, but didn't get much.
It only increased my worries, so I drank some wine, but this wine has no taste if I drink it alone."
"Well, officials are traveling around the world, but they should also pay attention to their health. Don't drink too much, as it will easily remind you of troublesome things. If you want to drink, I can accompany you. Why don't I wait and cook a few side dishes and warm a pot of wine to accompany you? How many glasses of wine will the official want?" Bai Zhi raised her head and asked, while she was talking, she helped him dry the water on his feet and put on his slippers.
Yunjing looked at the sky outside, shook his head and said, "No, go to bed early. You will be busy tomorrow. How is the business in the store recently?"
"The peak season has passed, and the business in the store has returned to calm. The morning mood is about to start, and everyone is cutting back on food and clothing. The business in the store has become quite deserted after all." Bai Zhi said, pouring the foot washing water close to the fertilizer bucket, which can be used later. When it comes to watering flower beds or other things, water needs to be conserved in the current drought, although this family does not need to worry about running out of water.
Yun Jing said: "If the business is light, just light it up. It's better to be more leisurely. Our family also has a lot of income."
"Well, officer, come and drink the hangover soup." Bai Zhi handed the hangover soup to Yun Jingdao. She paused and said, "By the way, officer, I heard that there is a kind of hangover soup in the state capital next door. The gauze is as thin as cicada's wings, soft and silky, and quite elastic. I would like to buy some goods, what do you think?"
Yunjing drank the sobering soup and said with a smile: "You can decide for yourself..." When he said this, Yunjing didn't take it seriously at first, but when his eyes fell on Bai Zhi's round and slender legs, his heart moved: " I don’t know what the silk stockings you mentioned look like when worn on the body.”
"Guanren, what stockings?" Bai Zhi blinked and asked in confusion.
After coughing dryly, Yunjing said seriously: "Silk stockings, come on, let's go to bed and talk, those are good things."
Bai Zhi: "???" What on earth is it? Do you have to go to bed to say it?
