[167] The aura of two women (Part 1)
A powerful footsteps sounded, and Xu Shiji was stunned for a moment, without raising his head, wrinkled his nose, and continued to lean on the low table and looked at the map carefully, asking, "Girl, you are back!"
The footsteps stopped, and a silver bell-like laughter sounded: "Uncle Xu, your ears are cats, and you can hear that it is me every time!"
A knowing smile gradually appeared on Xu Shiji's face. He raised his head to look at the beautiful woman in front of him. His smile was a bit straightforward and bold again. He waved his hand: "Girl, find a place to sit, don't stand, you have been going back and forth for nearly a thousand miles, thank you for your hard work!"
The woman refused to support herself, and turned her hand hidden behind her back and shook it in front of Xu Shiji. A small jar of tiled jar was held on the hand of the woman. She pretended to smell it and felt intoxicated, muttering to the words: "The fragrance of milk wine is floating, it is drunk in my heart. Uncle Xu, you haven't answered my question yet!"
Xu Shiji felt reluctant to give in and smiled bitterly: "Girl, you know I'm good at this, okay, I said, before, it was because the people in the army were strong and steady, and every time you came, you were quick and light, so you could naturally distinguish it. This time, although you deliberately made heavy steps, you could not cover up the smell on your body!"
The woman's face changed slightly when she heard this. She quickly raised her sleeves and sniffed it, then sniffed to her shoulders, and said in confusion: "It doesn't smell. Uncle Xu, your ears have not only become cat ears, but also your nose has changed. Where can I smell you can tell!"
Xu Shiji got up and walked, walked to the woman to take the jar of wine, raised his eyebrows and said, "Although I love wine, I don't like drinking, so my nose has become more sensitive to ordinary people after more than ten years of experience. Let me guess. It's the first time I've come to night. You must have been shopping in the rouge shop in the city during the day, but you didn't buy it, right!"
"Ah, Uncle Xu, did I reveal my whereabouts? Someone still reported it to you?" The woman was shocked when she heard this, not wanting Xu Shiji to guess so accurately.
Xu Shiji sat back down again, opened the mud seal and slid the small wine jar from his nose, looking intoxicated, and sighed: "Girl, I just guessed that your skills are rare in the world. How can I find them? I want to ask you, what do you do in this rouge shop? As far as I know, you have never liked such things...."
The woman's face turned red obviously, and she stomped her feet and turned around and said, "Uncle Xu, why are you so shameless? You always ask about other people's children's private affairs. Am I the one who is afraid of asking? Humph, I just want to buy some to try it out, so that the person can keep me in my heart. I am not a lady from a noble family and have to pretend to be hypocritical, dare not say it!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha!, I said girl, I didn't stop you. Don't get angry at me. The person in your heart will be in our army now. I want me to call him to "reunite" with you." The more Xu Shiji heard, the more interesting it became. He grew up with this Changsun Linling, who he had grown up since childhood, and was quite destined to be with him, so he would naturally worry more about her affairs.
Changsun Linling turned around and looked at Xu Shiji with disbelief on his face. He hurriedly asked, "Uncle, don't tease me. Didn't he come here if he invites me three times and five times? Why did he join your army after only more than a month? You, have you used some powerful means?"
"My state governor is also going to join the army by force. Girl, please don't think so badly about your uncle. He wanted to come by himself and brought seven brothers. Now the general's suicide squad was taken away and named himself "Special Independence Brigade". The emperor personally approved him and gave him the lieutenant to the lieutenant." Xu Shiji thought to himself: It turns out that a girl is outgoing, and she hasn't had anything to do with that kid, so she is so worried.
Changsun Linling was happy when he heard this, but then he was stunned: "Captain Zhenwei, from the sixth rank, uncle, he is afraid that he has made more than these achievements. Why did he give such a small official?"
Xu Shiji took a sip of wine, continued to look at the map on the short table, and said in a deep voice: "You have been in the court for several years. Don't you know the family status of the court? It's already a big sixth rank. It's a nearly ten years to get it through military merit alone. In fact, this was stolen by Changsun Wuji, but this is good. It's not a good idea to make him sharpen for a few years!"
He paused a little and continued, "Girl, should you talk about the serious business? Put your little thoughts behind you and talk about it first. Let's talk about the gains of your Yunzhou border team!"
Changsun Linling secretly suppressed his thoughts and also polite like the soldiers in the army, saying, "Uncle Xu, the situation is not optimistic. I have wandered along the border in the past half month. I heard that fifteen tribes of the eighteen tribes of the grassland tribe had been completely conquered by Jie Li. They often practice assault and siege formations, and actively save food, grass and soldiers. I am afraid that this year will really be unfavorable to my Tang Dynasty." After that, he took out a fold from his arms, and it was densely filled with beautiful small characters.
Xu Shiji reached out to take it, frowned and pondered: "You go down and rest first. The dust of the road is enough to make you tired. I will report it to the emperor when I see the specific situation. By the way, it's not too late now. You have to find him and go tomorrow. Ouyang's kid has the right to be granted by the emperor. He may not be in the camp. If he can't find him, go to the original "Guiyun Tower" in the city to find him. I guess he is there. When Guiyun Tower heard that it is closing down and rebuilding, I don't know if this kid is busy."...
The next morning, Ouyang still heard the slogan. No one missed the mistakes within thirty breaths. They were all present, but their clothes were a little messy and their eyes were a little red. Yesterday, they practiced military posture for a whole day, and they were in a straight line. Everyone was sore and tired. This military posture was the most painful of the four items. Everyone finally realized what the "hardship" they said before was said by their brigade commander. Many soldiers kept their armor and their hands last night, for fear that they would slow down again today, and they were dizzy and excited.
Ouyang ordered that he would only practice these four things today, and entrust all things to his brothers and officers, saying that he would go home and not for anything else. He had to go back and take a look at the big business at home, otherwise the equipment of the "Special Independent Brigade" would not be built in the army, let alone the funds for the construction.
Yesterday was still clear sky, but today it was snowing again. Ouyang was anxious and rushed back all the way. It was less than an hour before his restaurant was already looking at.
The restaurant has closed, and the red notice in front of the door is still posted on the signboard facing the street. Ouyang looked at the thick red cloth hanging from the roof, and listened to the "ding-ding-dang" sound coming from it, and his heart gradually became active. There is also the shop opposite the restaurant that was also closed to renovate. This is where his hope lies, as if the fetus was born in the mother's belly, growing day by day, full of expectations and hope.
Ouyang lifted up the red cloth hanging down and walked in. He saw that the door was filled with bricks, tiles and wood. The main door was empty, and more than a dozen craftsmen inside were working hard.
Pushing the door, a middle-aged man sternly said: "Now Xiaolang, this restaurant is being rebuilt. If you don't do business, go out quickly. If you hurt you or have something else, it's not easy to bear!"
When Ouyang heard this, he thought to himself that this craftsman is responsible, paying attention to safety and looking forward to the storefront materials. He invited him well. He said loudly: "Brother, I am the owner of this restaurant. It's not a problem to see that my store is in trouble!"
When everyone heard this, they stopped their work and looked at Ouyang Yu and laughed. The middle-aged man put down his things and cursed with a smile: "Which brat, came here to fool him? This huge restaurant, the blacksmith shop opposite, and even the neighbor shop next to him are all the property of the owner. How old are you? I guess you are just about twenty years old and dare to say that you are the owner of this store. You are so big, and you are not afraid of scoundrelizing your waist. Hurry up, what should you do when you go back, don't delay our work. We signed a contract with the adopted mother of this building. We will complete the construction one day later and collect a lot of money!"
The men beside him all helped to shout Ouyang quickly and not to make trouble here.
When Ouyang heard this, he laughed without anger: "I said, brother, I really didn't lie to you. I am the owner of this building and the nearby blacksmith shop and grocery store, Ouyang Yu!"
"Hey!! Why are you so disobeying advice?" The middle-aged man saw that Ouyang didn't leave, and his clothes were very ordinary, not like a rich man with three stores. He was slightly angry and said sternly: "Go away quickly, if you don't leave, we will drive you out. It's not good-looking." The crowd yelled and started to scold.
"Uncle, you are back." A pleasant cry of surprise penetrated the noise of everyone. When Ouyang saw it, it turned out that it was Yun Niang's sister-in-law who walked out.
He waved his hand and said laughing and crying: "Sister-in-law, I won't let me in, and I'll lie to them. Alas, it turns out that being a boss is so hard!"
Yun Niang spoke with Li Wangshi as soon as she entered the yard. She heard a little noise in the restaurant in front of her and rushed over. However, she didn't expect Ouyang to come back, and she was stopped by the craftsmen and refused to let in. She covered her mouth and smiled, and shouted to the middle-aged man: "Foreman Qi, he is my husband's eighth brother, and he is the real owner of these stores!"
When the foreman named "Qi" heard this, he was stunned. He looked at the same expressions of everyone around him, smiled silly, bowed and said, "Boss, look, we really don't know. I'm apologizing for you here, you..."
While walking towards Yun Niang, Ouyang smiled and said, "Brother Qi is okay. Those who don't know are not guilty. There is not so much attention. Let's be familiar with each other. You can be busy, I'll go home and take a look!"
Foreman Qi touched his head awkwardly, and smiled foolishly to ask everyone to go to work.
Yun Niang and Ouyang Ji were in love, and they were like brothers and sisters. They held Ouyang's forearm and pulled him to the mother in the main hall. While asking anxiously, "Why are you back today? You have only been to the military camp for two days. How are you so happy, your brothers!"
Ouyang wanted to laugh when he heard this. He understood that Yun Niang wanted to ask Qilang a good question, but he said that he became "Brothers are good". He smiled and nodded: "My sister-in-law, sister, can't I come back and take a look? Brothers are all good, especially the second brother, who can eat and sleep, and is very good in health, just thinking about you!"
When Yun Niang heard this, she blushed and poked Ouyang's forehead with her finger, and cursed with a smile: "You are so damn you, you dare to joke with your sister-in-law. I want my mother to punish you, right? You are not big or small, spoiled you." Although she was laughing and scolding, she was happy in her heart. One was that her husband was safe without any trouble, and the other was that Ouyang was getting closer and closer to her, and she was happy in her heart.
