Chapter 261: I Want a Home
Zhang Shisan returned to the back village with a snort and sat on the couch.
"What's wrong with you?" Leng Cui walked behind Zhang Shisan, smelling the smell of wine, and kneading Zhang Shisan's shoulders with both hands.
"A good banquet, let Zhang Zhongjian stir it up. Fortunately, he sent someone to send Mr. Ling away, if he was injured, he would be married to the Duke of Chu. Zhang Shisan said angrily.
"Zhang Zhongjian is not a good thing, doing things for the Koreans. Now he is still hooking up with the Japanese people, and I heard that the Duke of Wei Guo in the capital has also broken off his friendship with him. Cutting off the robe and breaking the righteousness, what a grudge this must be. Leng Cui whispered comfortingly.
"Really?" Zhang Shisan's eyes widened and he said in disbelief. My wife stays at home, how can she know about Chang'an, can it be said that Zhuge Liang is possessed?
"That's fake, the Wang officials in Yueyang City used to be the personal soldiers under the account of Duke Wei. A few days ago, I asked someone to go to Yueyang City to buy rouge gouache, and the person I sent to listen to him and the big shopkeeper talk about it. ”
"Is there such a thing? Whoever you sent, hurry up and ask carefully. Zhang Shisan said with a solemn face, this is an important piece of information. Zhang Zhongjian's ability to eat well in the Tang Dynasty has a lot to do with the fact that he has a brother who is a national prince. The local officials and the people of the green forest all have to give some face. Now that the two of them are falling out, this is a big deal, and they have to ask clearly.
"Ma Wu and Ma Liu are familiar with Yueyang City, let them take the puppy there."
"Dogs? When he arrived in Yueyang, he didn't run away? ”
"Run! I can't even eat enough at home, so how can I still eat a full meal in the cottage. It's you, you run! Ma Wu and Ma Liu were out of sight this time, tying up two little beggars who stole the clothes of a big family. But it's not bad, the little martial artist is beautiful and will come to trouble. The puppy is clever and smart, and maybe there will be a chance after some training. Little dog, you come over and have something to ask you. Leng Cui said as she walked to the door and beckoned, and the dog outside the door immediately walked in with his head down.
"Did you hear what the king and his housekeeper said?" Seeing the dog coming in honestly, Zhang Shisan asked in a deep voice.
The steward said, what is the name of Zhang Zhongjian, asking them for money and food. Wang Daguan said that he didn't need to give them face, and said that Duke Wei had already cut off his robe and broken righteousness with him. Later, their housekeeper urged me to leave, and I didn't hear the rest clearly. ”
Zhang Shisan leaned on the low couch and didn't speak for a long time, and he used to want to use Zhang Zhongjian's relationship to talk to the court. Now it seems that it is completely impossible. In this way, Zhang Zhongjian's use value is greatly reduced.
Leng Cui waved his hand and kicked the dog out.
"It doesn't sound like a fake, you find two reliable people to go to Yuezhou to inquire. Be sure to inquire about the news reliably! ”
"I know, I've asked our people in Yueyang to investigate. Recently, a lot of officers and soldiers from Chang'an have come to Yueyang, and it is not too difficult to find out something. It's just such a thing, which is definitely not clear to ordinary creeps. You need to find some officers to ask, you can wait patiently for a few days, there will definitely be news. ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Shisan nodded, such a thing could not be rushed.
"Oh, yes! Today, Lord Ling came to Shuizhai and brought a lot of things for women. After a while, I asked someone to send it to you, but Zhang Zhongjian stirred it up, and everything was messed up. Zhang Shisan suddenly remembered the rouge gouache and jewelry that Ling Jing brought, as well as those small glass bottles.
"Slave, Xie is in charge." Leng Cui hugged Zhang Shisan's face and kissed it, the things sent by Grandpa Guo are definitely not bargains.
The sky darkened, and Xiao Wu stood behind Leng Cui and helped Leng Cui comb his hair. Eight-year-old Xiao Wu stood behind Leng Cui, who was not yet seated. However, the brushing action is very gentle, and the comb is very comfortable to scrape on the scalp.
Leng Cui was holding a small glass bottle in her hand, and small stars were about to pop out of her eyes under the candlelight. Born in the court, where would you not know this thing. When I was a child, I only saw that the ladies used it, but I didn't expect that today I would be blessed to use perfume.
Trying to remember how the mother used perfume back then, pull the cork from the glass bottle. A refreshing floral fragrance immediately spreads.
"Madame, what is this! So fragrant! Behind him, Wu Mei's smiling head leaned over, and her big eyes were staring at the perfume tightly.
"Little hooves! When you are as old as a cat, you know that you love beauty. When I grew up, I didn't know what kind of vixen it was. This thing is called perfume, and gold is very expensive. In the previous dynasty, only the ladies in the palace could use it. You can show the old lady carefully, if it breaks, the old lady will break your leg. Leng Cui glared at Wu Mei, so frightened that Wu Mei hurriedly retracted her little head and continued to comb her hair.
Plug the bottle with one palm and quickly turn the bottle upside down. Rub your hands together and pat them on your neck. In the past, every time His Majesty pampered Niangniang, Niangniang did this. Tonight, you're going to have to swoon that old bastard fan.
I've been following the Water Dragon King for almost six years, and to this day my stomach still hasn't moved at all. Seeing that he was almost thirty years old, Leng Cui's heart was so anxious that he was on fire.
"Madam, the person who gave you such a good thing must be a very good person." Wu Mei said timidly.
"I don't know if it's a good person, but it must be a noble person. In Chang'an City, it can be regarded as a number of people. When it comes to Chang'an, Leng Cui's heart is a little lonely. In my memory, the prosperity of Chang'an Luoyang is vivid, not to mention the Dongting Lake full of mosquitoes. Even if it is Yueyang City, it can't even compare to Chang'an's toes.
"Chang'an? Isn't it beautiful? "Loneliness seems to be a gas that volatilizes, and Wu Mei keenly senses this.
"Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, a very prosperous and beautiful place. Ay......! In this life, I don't know if I can take another look. Leng Cui sighed leisurely, stuffed the perfume and carefully put it into the brocade box.
Wu Mei didn't answer, she clearly knew the truth of being too late. A servant girl who likes to inquire about the master's thoughts will not live long. It is good to be able to successfully arouse Leng Cui's nostalgia for Chang'an. This nostalgia will grow like wildfire in her heart until it finally becomes uncontrollable.
The violent shaking of the bed lasted for a long time before stopping, and the Water Dragon King seemed to want to vent very much today. The vibrating window lattice and Wu Mei's frightened eyes were enough to prove how tragic Leng Cui's shouts were.
"Boss! Could it be that we have to be in this Dongting Lake for the rest of our lives? Leng Cui's snake-like body crawled onto Zhang Shisan's body. Both gasped like fish ashore!
"What? Not here, where is it? Yueyang City? If it doesn't work, the government will cut off Lao Tzu's head and hang it on the flagpole as a baby. Zhang Shisan shook his head helplessly, one day is a water bandit for a lifetime. In this life, it is difficult to get rid of this thief's skin.
"I see that the Duke of Chu appreciates you very much, and he sent someone to send so many things today. Chu Guogong, that is a big man who can speak in front of His Majesty. If you have a relationship with the Duke of Chu, maybe you can also recruit An. When the time comes, maybe you can still be an official. The cold green fingers drew circles on Zhang Shisan's chest. Playing with the curly chest hair!
"Zhao'an? Don't forget, the last time you raided the King of Hejian was the leader of Lao Tzu. If this is in the court, it will not be chopped into meat by the king of Hejian County. Although Chu Guogong was polite, he didn't know his thoughts now. If there is a fake trick, our lives will be gone. A woman's family is long hair and short knowledge. The Water Dragon King muttered, and drank a lot of wine during the day. I was busy for half a night, and a thick sense of sleepiness swept over me like a tide.
At first, he could talk to Leng Cui, until he finally snorted loudly.
Leng Cui pushed Zhang Thirteen twice, but the other party slept no different from a dead pig. slapped and didn't react, and the helpless Leng Cui could only lie on the couch, a pair of black eyes glowing dimly in the dark.
Where do women want to have an unstable home, and being the leader of the water bandits seems to be very powerful and beautiful. But who knows, this position lives in open guns and hidden arrows all day long. After sleeping at night, no one knows whether you will be able to see the sun tomorrow. As Zhang Shisan's woman, Leng Cui is worried all day long. It's like this!
Not to mention, the humidity in this Dongting Lake is very heavy. In older people, the joints are swollen and deformed. When it rains on a cloudy day, it's painful. Thinking about the miserable fate of those elderly water bandits, Leng Cui felt chills all over. A thousand words into one sentence: I want a home, a place that doesn't need to be big!
This night, Leng Cui tossed and turned, and didn't sleep all night like a pancake! It wasn't until the sky was white that I fell asleep.
News finally came from Yueyang City, and it was confirmed by many parties. Zhang Zhongjian did have a falling out with Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and it was not one or two people who saw Li Jing cut his robe and break his righteousness. Moreover, the spies of the water bandits also heard another news, that is, His Royal Highness Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, will personally lead the prince to gather in Yueyang with the soldiers of the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and want to wipe out the water bandits in Dongting Lake. The news spread to the water bandit cottage, although the water bandits were shouting. But the drums are playing in my heart, and some clever ones have already packed their luggage, and when they see that something is wrong, they quickly smear oil on the soles of their feet.
Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be any pre-war tension at the top of the two sides. Diplomacy is lively, and today Yun Hao sent wine to Zhang Shisan. Tomorrow, Zhang 13 will send aquatic products to Yun Hao, and the messengers from both sides are also endless.
Although the bosses of both sides lack sincerity, it does not prevent them from eating, drinking, and having fun in harmony. Yun Hao's side, Ling Jing and Zhang Shisan, came and went, and Zhang Shisan's younger brother Zhang Qiqi also became a plenipotentiary. In Yueyang City, he drank and talked with Yun Hao all day long. There are even rumors that the two of them went to the Qinglou to prostitute together.
The scene is so harmonious! Everyone is very satisfied with such a scene, and the only one who is not satisfied is Zhang Zhongjian, who is ignored. The big guys in Dongting Lake seem to have forgotten him, and no one pays attention to him and no one comes to the door. But the good thing is that the person in charge of the food has not forgotten his old man. The daily supplies were delivered as usual, but they have been changed from every 10 days to every 3 days. The person who delivered the grain straw also said that it was a long time, and he was afraid that the grain and meat would spoil.
Zhang Zhongjian's nose is almost crooked, and now it's fucking winter.
Leng Cui, as always, was always able to receive gifts from Yueyang City. From women's jewelry, to expensive goods such as perfume, and silk and satin. For a time, Leng Cui was extremely rich in material here. Even Wu Mei cut a satin dress, and the little person was even more beautiful in satin clothes. It's not like a little beggar, it's more like a young lady from a big family.
Leng Cui, who was born in the palace, likes it very much, this sensible little girl. Also appreciated are dogs, clever children are always not lacking in pain. Although she is not as good-looking as Wu Mei, she can eat some meat for three meals a day, and her face is rosy day by day. There seems to be some flesh on the little face, and the person is getting whiter and whiter. As the days passed, Leng Cui felt that it was not bad to go on like this. If you have a good relationship with the grandfather in the court, you may really be able to recruit peace in the future.
Ma Liu, who went to Yueyang City to inquire about the news, came back and did not go to the Juyi Hall. Instead, he sneaked to the back village and taught a letter to the dog. The dog glanced at the letterhead and immediately ran in and handed the letter to Leng Cui.
"For me?" Leng Cui said in some surprise.
"Hmmm! Uncle Ma brought it back and asked me to give it to Mrs. The dog nodded firmly.
Leng Cui looked at the letterhead in his hand suspiciously, hesitated for a moment and opened it. After reading the letter, his face immediately changed drastically. Shouted at the dog, "Let him in!" ”
