Chapter 21 Loulan Girl
What? You don’t want me to be a novice, right? Do you think I’m a good person? Although I look a little white, I’m not a soft-hearted person!
Xiao Jiading's head was shaking like a plucking drum: "How can a man, a real man use a woman's money? Don't worry about where to live. With my ability, I still have no place to live?"
Ya Niang was drunk and blurted out this. She regretted it after saying it. Isn’t this despising him? Seeing that although he refused, but was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically: “I’m sorry, I said it wrong. When you find the place, I will tell me, okay? I’ll go see you.”
"Okay. It's very late, I'll leave!"
Yaniang's maid Qiaofan supported her, and Yaniang saw her off in person, and she kept sending him to the gate of Cuiyu Tower. Then she waved farewell reluctantly.
Although the Tang Dynasty implemented a curfew in Chang'an, there was no curfew at night in the prefectures and counties below. There were drunk people shaking and shouting loudly when they went home.
Xiao Jiading was already drunk, and after a deep affection with Ya Niang, he woke up a lot again. So he fell on the street and said, and returned to the inn smoothly.
After the matter was done, he also got a stunning beauty. He slept very soundly until the next morning.
He was sleeping soundly, and then he heard a knock at the door, and Zhu Haiyin's loud voice: "Brother! Have you gotten up?"
"What are you doing?" Xiao Jiading Meimeng was disturbed and muttered a little annoyed. He got up and left the inner room, opened the door, yawned a long time, and said, "Is there anything wrong so early?"
Zhu Haiyin smiled and said, "Brother, didn't you say that last night? You're going to the yamen today. I passed by the downstairs and wanted to greet you, for fear that you would be delayed if you overslept. Hurry up, it's still two minutes away to slap Mao."
"I'll go in the afternoon and won't go in the morning."
"Ah? Is that right? Oh no, I didn't hear it clearly last night, which delayed you from sleeping in."
"It's okay, it's good to get up early. I went to bed last night and didn't eat much. I was hungry."
"It's great, let's go for dinner together. I'll go to the yamen with my elder brother in the afternoon."
"You won't go to the yamen?"
"I won't go anymore, I'll ask the servant to help me ask for a leave from Sifa Xu." After that, he turned around and said a few words to the servant standing at the door. The servant agreed to leave.
Zhu Haiyin entered the room and said, "You go and put on your clothes, I'll call the waiter to bring you toiletries."
When Xiao Jiading put on his clothes and washed up, he remembered what happened that night and asked casually: "You are in the wrong way with Zhong Wenbo, the number one talent in Yizhou?"
Zhu Haiyin smiled and nodded, "Brother can see it? Yes, this kid is too crazy and arrogant. I originally intended to curry favor with him, but he actually wrote poems in public to humiliate me. I made a big fool of myself. I was so angry that I had another father from the government office, but my family had nothing but some money. How could I fight him? So, you humiliated him in public, which was considered avenge for me. I was very grateful and admired."
Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "I didn't mean to humiliate him, he was aggressive."
"He is just that kind of virtue. Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore, so as not to affect his appetite for eating later."
After Xiao Family Ding finished washing, the two left the inn and arrived at the door. Xiao Family Ding asked, "Where are you going?"
As soon as he said this, he saw an old man coming across from the inn, with a young woman, looking at Xiao Jiading happily: "My nephew!"
Xiao Jiading looked closely and found that it was the old man Xiao who helped him write paper yesterday. He followed his maid Sanniang and bowed and said, "Uncle." He introduced Zhu Haiyin again.
When Zhu Haiyin heard that he was the eldest brother's cousin, he quickly bowed.
Old Man Xiao returned the gift and said to Xiao Jiading: "My nephew, thanks to the paper you wrote, I went to the yamen to ask in the morning and learned that the yamen had filed a case and asked me to listen to the hello."
Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "That's good. I have already agreed to be a clerk in the yamen. I will go to the yamen in the afternoon. Are you happy?"
Old Man Xiao didn't know about this. When he heard this, he was naturally very happy and said repeatedly: "That's great! Then there is hope for our case! - Sanniang, congratulations to the young master quickly!"
The Sanniang behind him hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the blessing, saying sweetly: "Congratulations to the young master Gaosheng."
"What a high-promotion, just a little clerk."
Zhu Haiyin smiled and said, "Brother, you can't say that. With your brother's ability, this promotion is only a matter of time."
"Don't say that, there's nothing to make people laugh." Xiao Jiading said to Old Man Xiao: "You go back first, I will pay attention to the case."
"Okay, then I'll bother you! There is another thing, can I bother you again?"
"What's the matter?"
"That's right." Old Man Xiao waved to a middle-aged man across the street. The middle-aged man hurriedly ran over and bowed to Xiao Jiading. Old Man Xiao said, "His name is Yu Gui, our neighbor. This time he went to the yamen to file a lawsuit. He knew that my lawsuit was filed because of the complaint you wrote by your nephew. He thought you were capable and wanted to ask you to help write a complaint. Do you think it's okay?"
Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly and whispered: "I want to get a lawsuit for someone to sue. Uncle, you are harming me."
Yu Gui hurriedly said, "No, no, you don't need the young master to write a letter. I am a little familiar with the writing and writing, but I don't understand the criminal law, so I'm afraid that the lawsuit will be lost, so I just want to ask the young master to help me come up with an idea. The old man wrote the letter by himself, and he dare not implicate the young master, and he is absolutely tight-lipped!"
“This is OK…”
Zhu Haiyin, who was standing beside him, said: "Let's go find something to eat first, and let's talk while eating. Haven't had breakfast yet!"
Na Yu Gui hurriedly said, "Then go to the small shop to eat. The small shop's stewed and steamed cakes are all famous far and wide. They are just inside the alley next to the yamen."
Xiao Jiading said, "Okay, just go wherever you want."
Yu Gui is a young master of a wealthy family and rarely goes to these roadside stalls. He originally wanted to invite Xiao Jiading to a restaurant for breakfast, but Xiao Jiading had already agreed, so he had to follow him to the snack bar.
During the Tang Dynasty, snacks were called "snacks", so the plaque of this shop was written as "Yujia Snackshop".
Not bad, this snack shop is quite clean, but there are not many customers inside, but it is not bad, because this is the end of breakfast, and from the perspective of the guests, it should be quite good.
Yu Gui led them to a room in the backyard, which was no one and very quiet. Yu Gui's wife greeted them with a flattering smile. She personally served various breakfasts with a wooden plate, including steamed buns, buns, flower rolls, Tang Dynasty Hu cakes, parent-child noodles, etc., and the store's signature snack, stewed pork, that is, noodle soup.
Old Man Xiao and his maid Sanniang did not come with him, for fear of affecting their conversation, so they said goodbye to the door and went back. There were only Yu Gui and the other three in the house. Zhu Haiyin looked at the food of these ordinary people with a bitter face and had no appetite. However, seeing that Xiao Jiading was eating very delicious, he had to bite the bullet and lift it up, but hesitated not to know whether to eat or not.
At this time, a woman at the door said in a crisp voice: "Dad! Come out."
Yu Gui agreed and walked to the door. Zhu Haiyin heard the voice very sweet. Not only did he look at it curiously, but when he saw it, he suddenly froze there, holding the bowl, staring at the door.
A young girl in the flowery dress at the door was wearing a coarse cloth dress, her slender waist was tied with a kudzu strap, protruding her breasts that had not yet developed. She was combed with a pair of wool buns, her hair was black and scattered on her shoulders, her eyebrows were picturesque, her nose was straight, her eyes were big and bright, like two purple grapes in water. Her cherry lips were bent into a graceful arc, and what was most impressive was her white and tender skin, which was as bright as snow, as if she was bright. On her cheeks, there were two faint pinks, exuding a mysterious atmosphere of vast desert, the atmosphere of the Western Regions.
Judging from his appearance, he turned out to be a Hu girl from the Western Regions!
The strong prosperity of the Tang Dynasty attracted many people to settle here, including Hu people from the Western Regions. Zhu Haiyin had seen more Hu people, but he had never seen such a beautiful Hu girl! And in such an inconspicuous small shop, Zhu Haiyin felt that the whole house suddenly became bright.
Seeing the girl talking to Yu Gui and turning around to leave, Zhu Haiyin quickly got up and chased to the door, and shouted: "Shopkeeper Yu, is this girl..."
When people heard about themselves, the girl stopped and looked back at Zhu Haiyin with a smile on her face. Zhu Haiyin immediately felt as if she had seen the snow peak of the iceberg, which was so cold that it made him feel cold.
"Oh, this is a little girl, hehe."
"You..., your daughter?"
"Yes, yes," Yu Gui seemed to know that Xiao Jiading was confused about what he said, and hurriedly explained: "The adopted daughter is the adopted daughter. Haha."
"No wonder," Zhu Haiyin looked back at Xiao Jiading who was burying his head to eat, and said to Yu Gui: "I said to Manager Yu, you are too good at being a human being, right? Your daughter is here, and you don't recommend it to my elder brother? You are still asking him for help."
Yu Gui looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, it was the old man who was neglected. Loulan, come here to meet Mr. Xiao. - Mr. Xiao, this is the little girl Loulan."
The woman stepped over, blessed her with a blessing, and didn't say anything, her expression was still cold, and she didn't even look at Xiao Family Ding.
