Yuan Zhuo's face was very peaceful, and he was not worried at all that Tuqi Shiren would be lawless and do whatever he wanted, as Shopkeeper Bai said.
"Uncle Yuan, you don't believe me or something? Just now, just now I saw Old Wu being kidnapped by a group of horsemen in the alley around the corner!"
When Shopkeeper Bai heard that Yuan Zhuo didn't seem to believe what he said, he immediately became anxious and his voice was filled with resentment. Although he was much older than him in terms of seniority and he had won the hearts of the people in the city, it didn't mean that he could ignore him.
A good intention.
Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Yuan Zhuo could only give a wry smile: "Brother Bai, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that we don't have to be humble to Tuqi Shiren anymore in the future!"
"What? What are you talking about?" Shopkeeper Bai felt that he was having an auditory hallucination. He cupped his ear with one hand and said, "Say it again. What did you just say about us? We no longer have to be humble to Tu Qi Shi Ren?"
"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Yuan Zhuo spread his hands and nodded slightly in greeting.
"Oh my God, what's going on?" Shopkeeper Bai quickly stepped forward and touched Yuan Zhuo's forehead. Seeing that he didn't have any fever, he shook his head and said, "I thought you were suffering from heat syndrome.
, Isn’t this good? Why did you suddenly become stunned and start talking nonsense? I’m not talking about you, his Uncle Yuan, you can’t talk nonsense like this. This is, this is..."
Shopkeeper Bai made a beheading gesture at his throat and nodded to Yuanzhuo seriously.
Seeing his cautious look, Yuan Zhuo felt funny in his heart.
"Come with me." After saying that, Yuan Zhuo turned around and walked towards his tea shop.
"Hey, wait for me, Uncle Yuan! Hey, just wait, I owe you nothing in my previous life!"
Shopkeeper Bai was aroused by him, but he was not sure. After much hesitation, he still followed Yuan Zhuo's footsteps.
...
...
Yuan Zhuo's tea shop is not big, but its location is quite quiet.
Yuan Zhuo climbed up the three-step stone staircase and clicked the door knocker three times as usual. Then he heard a boy coming to open the door.
This man was his apprentice five years ago, named Lan Sheng. He was originally an orphan. That winter, Yuan Zhuo saw Lan Sheng curled up in a ball on the street corner, dying, and his heart softened and he took him back.
Home.
After feeding him rice soup, warming him up over the fire, and chatting with him, Yuan Zhuo finally brought Xiao Lansheng back from hell. After that, Yuan Zhuo kept Xiao Lansheng in his house, trained him carefully, and taught him to recognize
All kinds of tea. After half a year of doing this, the two sides developed feelings. Yuan Zhuo simply accepted Lan Sheng as his only disciple. Although he said he was a disciple, in fact, Yuan Zhuo pinned all his emotions and hopes on Xiao Lan Sheng. He
His wife, Danasha, gave birth to a daughter after her marriage to him, but other than that, she had no male heirs.
Yuan Zhuo loved Danasha so much that he couldn't bear to take a concubine, so his life went on like this. Therefore, Lan Sheng can be said to be Yuan Zhuo's adopted son, and the relationship between him cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.
"Master, you are back. Please come inside quickly. Master is waiting for you inside!"
Xiao Lansheng is now more than seventeen years old, and he looks like a little grown-up. He speaks into people's hearts whenever he meets him.
"Ghost boy, have you made another mistake and want to please me? Your wife is reluctant to beat you, but I'm not so soft-hearted!" Yuan Zhuo really had no choice when he saw such a lovable child like Lan Sheng. Please be gentle.
It tickled his nose a little and made him laugh.
"Oh, oh, Master, help me, Master, help me, master is going to bully me!" Lan Sheng was also very familiar with Yuan Zhuo, so he followed Yuan Zhuo's words.
"Okay, there are still guests here, look at how talkative you are!" He patted Lan Sheng's forehead angrily, and Yuan Zhuo shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, oh." Lan Sheng then noticed shopkeeper Bai on the side, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Bai is here too. Please come inside. I'll treat you to tea today!" After a slight pause, Lan Sheng said
He added: “It comes from my wages!”
"Who wants you to pay, little devil!" Shopkeeper Bai also lost his temper by this ghost. He smiled and shook his head, carrying his clothes into the hall.
Since Yuan Zhuo had been living in a tea shop before buying a new house, this small house was divided into two halves, with the front room selling tea and the back room for living.
After bypassing the five screens on one side for blocking, the group arrived at the back house.
Shopkeeper Bai often visits Yuan Zhuo's house, so he is very familiar with it. Before Danasha could say hello, he spoke first: "Sister-in-law Yuan, I was kidnapped by Uncle Yuan, you have to make the decision for me.
ah!"
Until this moment, shopkeeper Bai still didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yuan Zhuo's gourd, so he was naturally a little dissatisfied, so he planned to borrow Danasha's help to take good care of Yuan Zhuo.
"Okay, okay! What kind of tea do you want to drink? I'll make it for you!" Danasha seemed to like the name Sister Yuan very much, and a flower immediately bloomed on her cheeks.
"I still want to taste the tea bricks from Jiannan Road, you know!" They all say that sweet words are worth eating, so this sentence is suitable for the occasion when it is put here by shopkeeper Bai.
"Okay, wait a moment!" Xu was a visitor to the shop for a long time, which made Danasha very depressed. This time when she saw shopkeeper Bai coming with her husband, this "Mrs. Yuan" was actually very happy.
"She's just like this, don't be surprised." Yuan Zhuo was also a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly at Shopkeeper Bai.
"How can you not, it depends on what you said. Sister Yuan treats me well, can't I see it? I can count on my fingers the number of warm-hearted people like you two in Suiye City!"
When Shopkeeper Bai heard what Yuan Zhuo said, he immediately waved his hands to reassure him: "Let me tell you, in this Broken Ye Xicheng, if anyone in the Tang Dynasty disrespects you two, he is a beast, a living beast!"
"This..." Seeing what shopkeeper Bai said, Yuan Zhuo didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Here, here comes the best Jiannan tea. Come on, Brother Bai, come and taste it!"
Sister Yuan has lived with Yuan Zhuo for more than ten years and has been completely assimilated into a Tang Dynasty. If you don't look closely at her brown eyes, you really can't tell her identity!
"Just give it to me!" Shopkeeper Bai didn't dare to let Danasha serve him tea, so he quickly held out his hands to take it.
"Haha, you are the one with the sweet mouth." Sister-in-law Yuan was put in a good mood by Shopkeeper Bai, and she smiled and waved her hand.
"Nasha, I have a formal meeting with Brother Bai. You and Lan Sheng first go to the outhouse to check all the accounts!"
Yuan Zhuo coughed slightly at the right time, interrupting the two's "chat".
"Yeah!" Danasha nodded slightly, turned and left. At first she couldn't understand her husband's habit, and it wasn't until she got more exposed to the culture of the Tang people that she understood it.
When only he and Shopkeeper Bai were left in the back room, Yuan Zhuo cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Old Bai, let me tell you something. You must not tell anyone outside!"
Shopkeeper Bai was overjoyed when he saw that Yuan Zhuo had finally gotten to the point. He patted his chest and said, "Uncle Yuan, just say it, don't you know what I am like, Lao Bai? We keep our mouths tight, well, it's like smearing on
It’s a layer of paste, no matter what others try to do, I will definitely not say a word!”
"Come on, don't keep guaranteeing for me anymore. I'll tell you."
Yuan Zhuo looked around for another week and saw no one outside the house, so he whispered: "This Suiye City is going to change!"
"What!" Shopkeeper Bai was drinking the Jiannanchun tea brewed by Mrs. Yuan, when he was surprised and spit out the tea.
"Slow down, slow down!" Yuan Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward and patted Shopkeeper Bai on the back. While patting him, he said, "Look at you, with this little endurance, you still said you would keep it a secret from me."
"No, Uncle Yuan, what did you just say?"
Shopkeeper Bai waved his hand at Yuan Zhuo, stood up and said, "You said Suiye City is going to change?"
"Well, the Tang army is here, and the good days of sudden cavalry and attacking people are coming to an end!" Yuan Zhuo nodded, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Of course I know this, but the Tang Dynasty only has 10,000 people, and there are six or seven thousand Tuqi Shiren in this city alone. How can the Tang people attack them with force?"
Shopkeeper Bai thought it was something important, but he didn't think it was this, and his heart immediately cooled down a lot.
"Of course we can't defeat it with a hard attack, but what if there is someone inside the city?" Yuan Zhuo said playfully to shopkeeper Bai: "Brother Bai, you are in the silk and satin business. Look, this is a good business.
A piece of silk looks quite neat on the outside, but if it is scratched and scratched on the inside, no matter how beautiful it is, it will become a loser that no one wants."
"This, this..." Shopkeeper Bai didn't expect that he would reveal such a secret casually, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It's not that we won't be rewarded, the time has not come yet." Yuan Zhuo let out a long breath and said: "Brother Bai, the Tuqi Shi people have oppressed us for many years, isn't it because of me, the Tang Dynasty?
Didn’t the forces control Suiye River? Now that the Tang army has attacked Suiye City, what should we do as Tang people?"
Shopkeeper Bai felt his mind was in a mess and asked tentatively: "Ah, uncle Yuan, can you, can you..."
"Yes!" Yuan Zhuo nodded and said: "The city of Suiye is under martial law and the Tang Dynasty cannot enter the city, but it does not mean that the Tuqi Shiren cannot enter the city. The Fire-Tumbling Tucker has been coveting Suiye City for a long time. There are so many people
Sneak into the city and light a fire. At that time, do you think the Tuqishi people should go put out the fire or should they gather at the top of the city to resist the Tang army?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Zhuo breathed a long sigh of relief, patted Shopkeeper Bai's slightly trembling shoulder and said:
"Hurry back home, pack your luggage, and move your family to the west. The war is going on, and the fire-breathing old man Tucker can't tell who is good and who is evil!"
