Chapter 13
A better brother is like a younger brother. The ancients were sincere and never deceived me.
Jiang Sui took off his court clothes and changed into a light brown robe with wide sleeves and narrow waist. In order to pretend to be aggressive, he even took a fan painted by a famous artist in the previous dynasty. One after the other, they strolled towards the entrance of the downtown area.
It is now the middle of May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The clothes are beautiful and expensive, and they have the aura of a nobleman, but another word for expensive is thick.
The fan in Jiang Sui's hand was no longer a decoration, he fanned himself repeatedly, and couldn't help asking with some complaints: "Jiang Liu, when will you be able to make that thing?"
He also wants to blow the wind, fanning is so tiring!
Jiang Liu replied quickly, "It's under construction."
Jiang Sui: "..."
The Juchun Building was visited by the Habayashi Army last time, and it took a long time to recover. Fortunately, the Juchun Building opened not long ago, and the things inside are new, and there are not many customers. When the army came, he took Jiang Sui with him and left again. Now it is still driving in a prosperous manner, which means that it is unique in the capital.
Jiang Sui wanted to go to Juchun Tower when he first came out of the palace. Last time, the girl who could twirl surprised him. In the palace, he had never seen a dancer who could do so many twirls at once.The girl's legs are not legs, but the cones under the spinning top. He wants the cones, bah, he misses the girls.
This time he brought enough money, and hoped that the girl would transfer it to him for another two hours.
The girl from Juchun Tower: "..." Don't come here!
Remember to eat or not to fight, he is talking about Jiang Sui, less than half a month since he was caught last time, he was ready to move again, the master and servant headed towards Juchun Tower, and soon reached the junction of Xicheng and Nancheng .
The Fengshui of the capital is rich in the east, rich in the west, cheap in the south and poor in the north. The south city has the most low-level and most popular places, and many large inns, post stations, libraries, and fellow village halls are built between the two cities. In addition to fixed buildings, there are also There are many small stalls selling sundries, food, wandering around the rivers and lakes, and almost everything. Jiang Sui came out after eating in the mansion. He was not interested in these, so he never stopped.
He didn't stop suddenly until he passed a noodle stall and walked a few steps forward.
Jiang Liu was beside him, seeing him suddenly like this, he immediately aroused all his nerves, "Young master, what's the matter?"
Jiang Sui didn't seem to hear what he said, he was stunned for a second, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the noodle stall.There was no one at the noodle stall. At this moment, there was only one noodle stall owner and one diner. The diner was wearing the most common coarse clothes, with a dirty black bag beside him, and was eating noodles snortingly.
The most common Yangchun noodles cost two cents a bowl.
With his mouth full of noodles, the diner still didn't forget to ask the host, "Just put these green onions, it's too little, add more!"
The master gave him a speechless look, but didn't bother with him. After all, ordinary people's lives are not easy. Seeing this voracious appearance, he must have been on his way early in the morning and hadn't eaten at all.Probably also a person with difficulties, otherwise how could he care about even a little chopped green onion.
The host was honest, and took out another porcelain spoon from his green onion pot, and put it into the diner's noodle bowl.
"Thank you old man! The old man is really a good person!"
After finishing speaking, he blinked his big smart eyes, brazenly picked up the noodle bowl, and asked, "The old man is so kind, please add some more noodles!"
Noodle stall owner: "..."
Jiang Sui stared at this scene dumbfounded, and Jiang Liu beside him also recognized him, he was no better than Jiang Sui, and he also looked shocked at this time.
Because... the shameless person who licked his face and asked someone for chopped green onion and noodles, but almost asked for a whole bowl of Yangchun noodles, was the youngest servant of the household department in this dynasty——Bao Fu.
Bao Fu's current appearance is only slightly better than that of a beggar, otherwise Jiang Sui would have recognized him a long time ago, and he didn't dare to recognize him when he stood by and watched for a long time. At this time, when he heard Bao Fu's words, he came to his senses .
This is really Bao Fu!The Minister of Tobe has also returned to Beijing!
But didn't he go to the south to copy the home of the local officials?That corrupt official looted countless people's fat and people's anointing, and half of the stolen family property was returned to the local people to pay taxes and rice grains, and the other half was confiscated into the national treasury. This half is enough to rebuild three palaces.
He ransacked his house, but he wasn't the one who ransacked his house. How did he end up in such a miserable situation?
Jiang Sui stared blankly at the noodle stall, and murmured, "Xiaobao..."
Bao Fu's ears twitched, he turned around holding the noodle bowl, and when he found it was Jiang Sui, his eyes immediately lit up three degrees.
Regardless of whether the noodle stall owner wanted noodles, he threw down the half-eaten Yangchun noodles, opened his arms, and ran over slowly, about to plunge into Jiang Sui's arms.
"Ahhhhh Ah Sui! Bao Bao wants to hug!"
Jiang Liusan's teeth were about to fall, and before Bao Fu was about to rush over, he had already changed his shape, blocked Jiang Sui's body, and stretched out his arms.
"Snapped!"
Bao Fu's head bumped into Jiang Liu's palm, he didn't react, and kept running forward with his arms outstretched.
Jiang Liu looked at him in distaste, and pushed Bao Fu forward with a little effort, causing Bao Fu to stagger back a step.
"Lord Bao, please respect yourself."
Bao Fu's eyes widened suddenly. He was short. If he was replaced by a modern height, he might not even be 1.6 meters tall. In fact, he is already in his twenties.
Short, tender, fair and sunny, Jiang Sui didn't know what words to describe Bao Fu before, but now he knows.
This is called cute.
However, no matter how cute he is, he can only be turned into a puffer fish when he meets Jiang Liu, who is incomprehensible and business-like.
"My lord wants to catch up with Ah Sui, why are you stopping me!"
"The person whose subordinate is the son, naturally wants to protect the son."
"I'm from Ah Sui too! Get out of the way!"
"Whether a man or a man can accept a kiss or not, Mr. Bao should step back."
"Then you touched my forehead just now! Doesn't this make it difficult for men and women to kiss each other!"
Jiang Liu's face was full of righteousness, "Special occasion, special treatment, I hope Mr. Bao understands."
Bao Fu: "..."
Jiang Sui rubbed his forehead, before Bao Fu exploded, he pressed Jiang Liu's shoulder, "Okay, Jiang Liu, get out of the way."
Jiang Liu backed away according to his words, Jiang Sui walked up to Bao Fu, looked him up and down, missed the initial joy of reunion, and was bullied for a long time, Bao Fu was now dejected, seeing Jiang Sui Come here, instead of rushing over to hug her, she just raised her head aggrieved, and softly called, "Ah Sui."
what.
Jiang Sui was hit knowingly.
"Just come back. This is not a place to talk. Come with me. Let's find a quiet place."
When Bao Fu heard this, he immediately regained his energy, "Hmm! Wait for me to get the things!"
With two short legs, he quickly returned to the noodle stall. Jiang Sui thought he was carrying the bag and left, but he opened the bag and took out a casserole from inside.
Skillfully opening the casserole, Bao Fu picked up the unfinished Yangchun noodles and poured them all in. Before closing the lid, he didn't forget to scoop out two spoonfuls of chili sauce.
Jiang Sui: "..."
Noodle stall owner: "..."
Just now he heard that the servant next to this young man in gold and silver was called Master Bao, a diner, and that an official can be so stingy, the owner of the noodle stall didn't know whether to be thankful or complain.
Before he could make a decision, the group of three had already left. Jiang Sui and Jiang Liu walked ahead, and Bao Fu, carrying a bag and casserole, jumped up and down behind them, like a family of three traveling.
……
Bao Fu was chattering all the way, "Where does Ah Sui take me? Do you want to eat something delicious? But I'm already half full, why don't we go to the teahouse? Ah Sui, you want to treat me, but I'm not going back to Beijing this way." It’s not easy, I don’t have money to treat you to tea.”
It was already daytime, and there was no one soliciting customers at the gate of Juchun Building. Jiang Sui pushed Bao Fu's shoulder and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll pay for everything today. You can play and eat whatever you want."
Bao Fu suddenly smiled brightly, seeing the plaque of the destination, Bao Fu's eyes lit up again, "Juchunlou, I haven't heard of it, is it a newly opened restaurant! Then I want to go in and try it!"
As he spoke, he stuffed the casserole into Jiang Liu's hands, and then rushed in.
After entering, Bao Fu was stunned for a long time, looking at the Yingyingyanyan in the lobby and the gaudy interior decoration, and finally came to his senses.
Then he regretted it.
Ah Sui turned bad!He actually took himself to the brothel!Going to brothels is actually nothing, everyone is an adult, but!His Majesty, he expressly forbids his subjects to visit brothels!If he was discovered, Ah Sui would be fine, but he would be out of luck!His salary, his official career!
Let him out, let him out!
Holding the casserole, Jiang Liu blocked the door, and smiled coldly, "Where Master Bao wants to go, my son said, you can play whatever you want today, and he will pay for it."
Bao Fu: "..."
After Jiang Sui had only walked for a few hours, Wei Xun began to feel that the huge palace was meaningless.Looking at the sky outside the window, Wei Xun sighed softly, then summoned the guards, and asked as usual: "What is the regent doing now?"
Probably taking a nap, Ah Sui always likes to catch up on sleep when he is free.
The guard lowered his head, not daring to look at Wei Xun's expression at all, "Report to Your Majesty, the prince...he went to the Juchun Tower again."
Wei Xun remained silent, and the entire palace was in a deathly silence. After a while, the guard heard the sound of setting teacups in front, and then he heard Wei Xun's faint voice: "The weather is getting worse and worse. It's getting hotter, let Juchun Tower close down."
Guard: "???" Is there any connection between these two things?
