The scholar at the head took out a small bag of tea leaves, peeled a little bit of it with a delicate bamboo teaspoon and put it into a large teapot, and took the hot water to brew it, and the aroma suddenly gushed out.

Bao Cheng turned his head to look at the group of people, leaned forward, leaned in front of Yao Qi and whispered, "Who are these people?" ”

Yao Qi was sitting opposite the group of people, she looked at the group of people quietly, then looked at the direction and ground where these people came, and said in a low voice: "Do you see the horseshoe prints on the ground, their horses came from a very wet and muddy place, and the leader is a powerless scholar, but the entourage can fight and fight, so you say, who are they?" ”

"Who's staff?" Bao Cheng said in a low voice.

"......" Yao Qiwan smiled: "Forget it, yes." ”

She drank another cup of tea, lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "Don't talk, let's go, these people are troublesome and can't be provoked." ”

Bao Cheng pouted, he didn't believe that there were people in this world who Yao Qi couldn't provoke.

Yao Qi drank another cup of tea, and was about to stand up, when he saw the two people who went to tie the horses coming over, and the other two food tables had no open space, and the two lifted their clothes and sat beside Yao Qi and Bao Cheng with a big grin.

Yao Qi's gaze fell on the waist of one of them for a moment, and after a slight pause, she sat back down.

Bao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then sat back and asked, "What, don't you leave?" ”

Yao Qi lowered his head and pursed his lips silently.

Seeing that Yao Qi was silent, Bao Cheng had no choice but to shut up.

Yao Ji doesn't leave, he doesn't leave, anyway, he will rely on her.

The scholar took two sips of tea, stroked his long hair and asked the young junior opposite: "How many did you get today?" ”

"Seven, or eight?" This young offspring snapped his fingers, he was born with a bearded appearance, a high nose and deep eyes, tattered clothes on his body, big holes and small eyes, almost unable to cover the flesh, but there was a bearded knife studded with gems pinned to his waist, and wealth and abject poverty had an extreme collision in him.

The footman sitting next to the young posterior looked at him with disdain, and sneered: "Just a few people, you still have to break your fingers to count, and the blind gentleman taught you to read for so long." ”

The young poster kicked the porter and said hatefully: "You can figure it out, you say." ”

The porter touched the back of his head, his sleeve slid to his elbow, revealing his strong arm, and smiled: "I, I can't count it." ”

The sweat towel in the waist of the half-grown man opposite the porter could no longer distinguish the color, he tilted his head and pondered for a long time: "Sir, I remember nine." He solemnly broke his fingers for a long time and counted a few place names and numbers.

Bao Cheng heard it in a fog, kicked Yao Ji under the food table, and gave her a secret look: "What are they talking about?" ”

Yao Qi raised his head, glared at Bao Cheng, and made a "shut up" mouth.

Bao Cheng immediately shut up.

"Sir, I heard that the seventh son of King Han came to the capital, and the cats and dogs were so troubled that the chickens and dogs jumped on the way, and the fold that impeached him was like snowflakes, flying straight to the desk of the saint. The young posterior poured a few cups of tea in a row, and his hoarse and dry voice sounded a little brighter at the moment.

Hearing this, Bao Cheng

Suddenly came to his senses, approached Yao Qi, lowered his voice and asked, "King Han's seventh son, isn't it, his seventh brother?" ”

Yao Qi glanced at Bao Cheng, nodded very slightly, and made a silent movement.

The porter poured a sip of tea, stretched out his hand to roll up his sleeve, and shook the big pu fan in his hand, even so, sweat beads kept throwing down from the corners of his forehead, and his mouth was like a bell: "There are still a few sons born to the emperor's old sons, and King Han is a military man who has not studied for a few days, and the son who taught the instrument is the hell." ”

The scholar continued to stroke his long hair, sighing a little: "It's a pity that King Han's reputation in this life was ruined by such a gentleman." ”

Yao Qi looked at the scholar's long haired hand, and secretly slandered himself, even if he pretends to be a literate person, he doesn't have to be so wasteful, if he goes down for such a long time, his hand will definitely be bald.

The half-eldest son refilled the tea for the scholar, and asked angrily: "Sir, how many sons does King Han have, this one is not a device, and the other ones are fine." ”

The scholar smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this King Han is a good fate, the sons and daughters add up, except for the son who is now an official in Beijing and a daughter who was born to Princess Han, the other sons and daughters were born to other concubines, and this son is prosperous, which is also good luck." ”

This person is the only one of these people who has studied in private school for two years, knows a few words, and often helps the villagers write a family letter couplet or something, which is quite prestigious.

He said that it was the road of good luck, and it must be the way of good luck.

Bao Cheng had already moved from the opposite side of Yao Qi to sit beside her, and asked in her ear: "Who do you say they are, what did they just say, seven, eight, nine?" ”

Yao Ji didn't speak, just looked at the people at the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked at the man opposite him, and his eyes fell on his waist quietly.

The porter smiled and asked, "Then, sir, which of King Han's concubines gave birth to the Seventh Young Master who caused this troublesome life this time?" ”

The scholar said with a smile: "If you want to say that this seventh young master Han Changyun also has some origins, his biological mother is Princess Han's eldest marrying girl, and later opened her face to King Han as a concubine, after giving birth to the seventh young master, King Han invited her to seal the side concubine on the jade, and she is also a serious royal person." ”

Bao Cheng stabbed Yao Qi and said in a low voice: "Did you hear it, it was born to a little concubine who climbed the bed, or Princess Han's big maid in marriage, this is a proper palace fighting master, Princess Han was not angry, and she was also determined." ”

Yao Qi glanced at Bao Cheng, deliberately scared him, and lowered his voice and said, "Collect your money bag, there can be bandits in this area." ”

Bao Cheng was stunned and covered his waist: "It's really fake, don't scare me." ”

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows, snorted, was silent for a moment, made up his mind, quietly untied the pouch around his waist and threw it at Bao Cheng's feet, and then walked into the tea shed with a copper kettle with a handle.

As soon as she moved, she attracted countless eyes, the scholar nodded slightly, and a bearded man stood up quietly.

The fire in the stove was burning, and the cauldron of boiling water was steaming, and the water surface was bubbling with bubbles.

On the small pestle next to the stove, an old woman with hair sits, and the firelight is reflected on the folds of her face, and the layers of ravines and ravines are full of the vicissitudes of time.

listen

When someone walked into the tea shed, the old woman raised her head, her thin eyelids lifted, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in her shriveled pupils, and she stood up tremblingly.

She was about to speak, but she looked out in horror, and a loud laugh came into the tea shed, and she sat back in discouragement.

Yao Ji didn't speak, walked to the stove, and asked in a low voice while scooping water: "Mother-in-law, where is the eldest girl?" ”

The voice was so familiar that it frightened the old woman, and she sat down on the ground from the pestle, and she raised her eyes to carefully inspect Yao Qi's face.

Although he changed into men's clothes and combed his hair in a bun, his face was still the same as two years ago.

She finally recovered her vague memories of the past years from the shock, stood up tremblingly, and almost shed tears: "Aunt, the girl is here." ”

Yao Ji still stood in front of the stove and didn't move, still scooping water like that, using the sound of rushing water to cover up the sound of talking: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong, I saw a person outside wearing a big girl's embroidered pouch, where is the big girl?" ”

The old woman's face was frightened, and her voice trembled: "Big girl, big girl let them be arrested, outside, those people outside, all of them are here to stare at me and Erya, afraid of us, and run to report to the official." ”

"Who are they? Where did you go to catch the big girl? Yao Qigang asked, suddenly his ears moved, and he suddenly raised his voice and asked: "What kind of water are you boiling here, ah, I want guizhi soup, are you here, ah, yes?!" ”

As she spoke, she slammed the long-handled copper spoon into the water, making a hot splash.

The hot water splashed on the old woman's face, and it turned red.

She didn't understand why Yao Qi suddenly became angry, and in a blink of an eye, she saw a figure flash to the door of the tea shed, she immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

"Dead mother-in-law, what is your name, mourning?" A bearded man walked in, grabbed the old woman by the collar, and threw her to the base of the wall.

His force was so great that the old woman hit the bamboo pole, and the whole tea shed shook twice and almost collapsed.

The old woman struggled twice on the ground, but could not get up.

Yao Qi glanced at the old woman, lifted the copper kettle filled with hot water, and walked out expressionlessly without squinting.

The bearded man took a step across, stopped in front of Yao Qi, looked Yao Qi up and down, and laughed: "Little brother? Chicks? ”

The copper kettle in Yao Qi's hand was slightly crooked, and the hot water was poured on the bearded man's feet, and he screamed badly, his face was hideous, and he jumped and spun around again and again.

Yao Qi's body turned, and he took the opportunity to bypass the bearded man and walked out of the tea shed.

At this time, the people outside had already heard the screams of the bearded man, and they had already surrounded the entire tea shed, put their hands on their waists, held the sword, and stared at Yao Qi who came out viciously.

Yao Qi paused, his face was so frightened that his face was pale, the copper kettle in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the hot water splashed everywhere.

The scholar at the head suddenly smiled: "It turned out to be a girl." ”

The bearded man was so hot that he grabbed Yao Ji's wrist and shouted loudly: "Sir, sir, I caught a girl again this time, will you bring it back?" ”

Yao Qi was so frightened that he trembled, his face was pale, and he struggled weakly for a long time, and he couldn't break the powerful hands of the bearded man.
