In the wing room in the inner courtyard of Kelong Teahouse in Tongjifang, red candles flickered, lighting up the room with spring light.
"Hey, Ah Tian, please be gentle, and lean closer to the inside. Ah, be gentle, it hurts!" Li Kuo leaned over the bed and let Du Jingtian wipe the wound on his waist, making one or two sounds from time to time.
His screams caused the young lady to glare angrily.
"You deserve it! I was so seriously injured, not only did I not go home to recuperate, but I went to a place like that to fool around!" Xiao Niang thought about Brother Qi actually entering that kind of fireworks place, her cheeks turned red, and she spat lightly.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, the young man forced out a smile and apologized: "It's all your fault, Brother Qi, I shouldn't have kept you waiting..."
"You still know how to apologize? Do you know that I made the best omelette and steamed the first pancake in my life. People have been waiting for you in the store for so long, but there is no sign of you. If not
I met Ah Fu on the roadside. I'm afraid you'd better spend the night in the fishing alley, right?" The girl was unreasonable and simply threw the silk cloth dipped in medicinal wine aside and asked with her hands on her hips.
Li Kuo smiled bitterly and said, "Then I will listen to you no matter what you say."
Seeing that Brother Xiaoqi had given in, my mother was quite proud, and said with a smile: "Then you have to promise me that you won't hide anything from me in the future. Also, don't say such bastard words as "I'm tired of eating fried eggs" again!"
"Forehead..."
"You don't allow it?"
"Promise...I promise."
"Humph, that's pretty much it." The young lady picked up the silk cloth that was thrown aside and wiped Li Kuo's wound carefully.
At first, Xiao Niang was a little shy, but there was no one else except herself, and she and Brother Xiao Qi were so familiar... Well, Brother Xiao Qi had a big frame, and he didn't look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all.
Brother Xiaoqi's back was slightly darkened, and he was full of masculinity. Brother Xiaoqi's skin was smooth and smooth, like cheese, and he just wanted to be taken a bite... The girl looked at the young man's strong back infatuatedly, and for a moment
My body felt so soft.
"A Tian? Don't put medicine on my shoulder. It's not hurt."
"I do! Lie down and don't move!" The little girl said lightly as she slapped the boy on the back.
That night, the whispers of orioles kept coming from the inner room, and it was a time of spring beauty.
The summer morning came very early. Li Kuo got up early, stretched his muscles in the backyard, and then shared breakfast with A Tian and shopkeeper Du. Since the battle at the suburban drugstore, shopkeeper Du's attitude towards him
There was a huge change. Not only did he no longer boss himself around, but he intentionally or unintentionally created opportunities for himself and A Tian to be alone. Although he didn't like the behavior of Mr. Du, he couldn't say much.
"Nephew Kuo Xian, I have seen your behavior in the teahouse these past few years. I know you are an honest person, and we all know your relationship with Tian'er. Although Tian'er is a bit unruly, he is
I really care about you. Now that you have become rich, some jealous people will jump out to provoke you, saying that you will abandon A Tian. I scolded him away at that time. I watched you grow up, what kind of temper do you have?
Don’t you know? You have a loyal and benevolent character, and you do everything rightly. As the old saying goes, loyalty and filial piety come first. Can we, the children of good families, do things that make people poke their spines? Some of them
If a person gets rich and kicks away those who helped him, he will be punished. People, he is not an animal, he cannot be ungrateful!" Mr. Du, the shopkeeper, told Xiao Qi "sincerely" about his own situation.
Philosophy of doing things, he didn't "attention" to the boy's already red cheeks at all.
Du Jingtian couldn't stand it anymore and said softly: "Dad, what are you talking about here?"
Old Du Tou, who had always been good-tempered, changed his temper at this time and said angrily: "I am talking to your brother Xiao Qi. Girls should not interrupt when men are talking. Do you still have some formality? Be careful, I will lock you in the room."
You work as a female worker here. It’s because I’m too spoiled to you, and you don’t have half the qualities of a girl.”
"Dad, are you scolding me?" My mother stared at her grandfather in disbelief, shook her head unwillingly, and turned around to leave angrily.
"You are already at the age where you are about to get married, and you are still crazy. I should have strictly disciplined you!" Mr. Du, the shopkeeper, waved his hookah vigorously and shouted at his daughter's back.
Seeing this situation, Li Kuo had no choice but to find an excuse and flee in panic. The young man was very confused at this time. The relationship between him and A Tian had always been harmonious. This was a tacit understanding formed by getting along day and night, and a tacit trust. Sometimes
, and he couldn't tell whether he and A Tian were more in love with each other than brother and sister or between man and woman. However, Mr. Du's conversation today had obviously pierced the last layer of window paper. The young man didn't know what the consequences of this would be.
It felt like there was a layer of separation between A Tian and himself. With a sigh, Li Kuo decided not to think about these troublesome things, so as to save himself the trouble!
Li Kuo didn't know where he was going, so he subconsciously turned left and right along the Ya Road. After walking for about half an hour, he came to a large house with three entrances. He raised his hand and looked up, "Hexi Jinzouyuan"
"(Note 1) Five big characters were printed on the elm plaque. The young man smiled bitterly, and he finally came here. He told the guard that he wanted to see Secretary Gao, and the young man waited quietly in front of the door.
Thinking about it, Mr. Du's idea is not wrong. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between him and A Tian, so it is not an option to keep putting it off like this. Men can wait for this kind of thing, but girls can't. It's not that I don't dare
Take responsibility for A Tian, but now this situation is a bit difficult for both parties to talk about.
"Young Master, please come with me." The guard hugged Li Kuo and said loudly.
Although the house in Jinzouyuan is not big, it is very detailed and detailed. As soon as you enter the door, there is a concierge for registration. On both sides of the courtyard are two rows of tile-roofed houses for low-level officials to stay. After passing through a moon gate, you arrive.
Second Entry Courtyard. Three-quarters of the entire Second Entry Courtyard is used as a school ground. Various weapons are placed in a circle along the school grounds. These border soldiers are the most restless. Even if they go to Beijing with their own coach to report on their duties
, you should also exercise your muscles regularly. If you don't let them vent their anger, they will go to the streets to cause trouble for you, which is not a good thing. Walk along the corridor at the base of the left wall to the end, and turn to the right.
We arrived at a small private courtyard in Sanjin House. Three oil-blue wooden screens stood in front of the second door, blocking the view of the outside world.
"Sir, Secretary Gao lives in this courtyard. He is practicing calligraphy in the house right now. You can just go in and I will leave.
Li Kuo rushed to the soldier and thanked him softly, then walked along the path paved with warm stones and walked into the main room where the plaque "Renguang Pavilion" was hung. As soon as he entered the door, he could see a square table with water curves for receiving guests. To the right
Turn around and there is a window open on the south side. There is a somewhat old mahogany table propped up next to the window. On the right side of the table is a faded pen holder that has been used for an unknown period of time, and there are several plates of official documents that are of unknown use.
Gao Shi, the secretary of the Hexi Army, was practicing calligraphy in such an environment. Li Kuo couldn't bear to disturb his uncle, so he stood aside quietly. Gao Shi may have been too attentive and didn't realize that the young man had been in the door for a long time. To be written
After finishing the last stroke, Gao Shi blew out the wet ink on the good Shu paper (Note 2) with satisfaction and nodded lightly.
"Uncle Gao!" the young man said loudly as he rushed towards Gao Shishen and gave him a great gift as a junior.
"Kuo'er, why didn't you call me when you came in? Look at my temper. I don't care about anything when I'm happy." Gao Shi shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"How dare Kuo'er disturb Uncle Gao's Qing Xiu? As a junior, you should wait a little longer."
"You kid!" Gao Shi pointed to the wicker chair by the window and motioned for Li Kuo to sit down and talk. "You didn't come to me this time just to chat, right? Your Majesty's personal title of Colonel Xuangjie is so glorious.
I'm afraid that many classmates and old friends have invited you to travel, so how can you have free time to come to my place?"
Li Kuo said: "Uncle Gao, please stop teasing me. Others don't know what I'm worth. Don't you know it too well? It's enough to make people jealous if I accidentally get the title of Captain Xuanjie. If I go out again without any scruples,
Showing off doesn’t just make people jealous, doesn’t it?”
"Only you know better!" Gao Shi nodded lovingly to the young man, and said harmoniously: "Tell me, why did you come to me? There is no need to hide it from your uncle Gao."
"Alas!" Li Kuo was moved and bowed to Gao Shi and said, "I hope Uncle Gao will allow me to join the Hexi Army!
Note 1: Entering the memorial hall: equivalent to leaving the office of local administrative agencies in Beijing today.
Note 2: During the Tang Dynasty, Shu paper had always provided paper for the imperial family. Let Gao Shi, a petty bourgeoisie, take a look here. Jiedushi was still very good, and naturally his favored ministers should not be too shabby.
