Chapter 743 The stall in the snowy night
In winter, Yanjing City is already covered with snow. The solemn capital of Yan Kingdom seems to be covered with a layer of white veil, but this pure white veil cannot cover up the troubles in the capital.
After nightfall, the entire Yanjing City became even colder. The Kyoto Prefecture staff patrolling and working in various streets in central Beijing were wearing thick winter clothes. Although it was stipulated that they should not drink alcohol during duty, the brave and good wine officers did not care about the ban in this cold winter and had wine bags hidden on their bodies. When there was no one, they could drink secretly, at least in this way, they could warm their bodies.
As for those high-ranking officials, if there is no major event after night, they will not leave the mansion, but will just stay in the mansion with a warm stove, and will have their own fun.
The Minister of Personnel’s Mansion, as the residence of the Minister of Rites, has always been an extremely prominent residence.
Before the Han clan rose, there were definitely no few officials who went in and out of the Minister of Personnel's Office to join the Su family's servants every day. However, after the Han clan got up, the Su family's servants' office became much more deserted, and even the servants in the front door of the mansion also had a lot of rewards every month.
It was late at night.
In a courtyard in the backyard of the Minister of Personnel’s Mansion, Su Yuting, the residence of Su Yuting, the young master of the Su Mansion, is known to many people inside and outside the mansion that Su Yuting fell off his horse during the military exercise in Fengxiang Camp, injured his body. He lay on the bed and could not move, and is still recuperating.
During the rest period of Young Master Su, not only did he not see anyone outside the mansion, but even people from the mansion could not easily enter his yard.
The winter snow has been resting for two days. At dusk today, it started to rise again. By the late night, the snow had already become heavier, and heavy snow fell from the sky, covered in silver.
Su Yuting, who was originally injured, was wearing casual clothes at this time, sitting by the table. Under the light, he carefully wiped the head of the gun with sandpaper that had been wiped sharply.
The whole body is silver-white, snow-colored silver spear!
It was with this gun that he joined forces with Han Mo to fight against the enemy in the Black Forest.
After the light of the silver spear was visible, Su Yuting carefully placed the silver spear by the wall, walked to the window, pushed it away gently, and looked at the thick snow in the courtyard, his eyes flashed.
"Are you still setting up a stall?" Su Yuting murmured to himself as he looked at the winter plum tree in the yard.
...
In the cold winter month, every day, when it is not dusk, all shops will close, and it is rare that they will open their doors to do business late at night. However, there is a street in the south of the city, and even at night, there is still a stall still doing business.
There are several gambling shops in this street.
The high-ranking officials like to gambling. There are many gambling shops on the banks of the Liujing River, where the storefronts are luxurious and decorated with extravagant decorations, and the service inside is extremely thoughtful. The guests who gambling there are all wealthy people who spend a lot of money.
And ordinary people naturally have many people who like to gambling.
There are three gambling shops in this not-long street. They are crowded every day, day and night, and in the middle of the night, they are hungry and cannot find a restaurant. This stall is their best choice.
The stall is not big. Now in the winter, a small tent has been set up, and two small tables are set up in the tent. This is a place that people with a little identity do not want to see, but it is a very good business stall here. From time to time, people come over and order a bowl of hot noodles and wontons. After a few seconds, they will fill their stomachs and quickly and quickly.
The stall is a pair of siblings.
Everyone is already familiar with them.
My sister is a big girl with this long braid, while my younger brother is a mute.
No one knows where they came from, but they knew that two years ago, they suddenly appeared here and came to Beijing for medical treatment with their seriously ill father.
They set up stalls, one for the purpose of living, and the other for the expense of medicinal materials.
It was snowing heavily, and there were no guests in the small tent at this time. The mute brother curled up and sat behind the stove in the corner, while the sister of the big braid was rolling the noodles neatly.
This stove is their tool for survival. There is a charcoal stove on the cart and an iron pot is placed on the stove. What the mute brother wants to do is add fire to the stove at any time to ensure that the water in the pot is always hot. In this way, no matter when the guests come, they can quickly eat hot food.
The sound of trampling on the snow was creaking and creaking into the tent. The girl knew that a guest was coming, so she put down her work and hurriedly met him. However, she saw a guest whose face was covered by the brim of the hat, walking towards her, holding a package in her hand, which looked quite heavy.
Seeing the figure coming, the girl's face showed excitement.
The man walked to the tent, gently pulled the cap of his cloak to the back, revealing a face, but it was Su Yuting, the commander of Fengxiang Camp.
Su Yuting looked at the girl, showed a gentle smile, and said, "Give me a bowl of hot noodles!" He put the package aside and sat down at the table.
The girl nodded vigorously, hurried to the side of the stove, and quickly got the noodles.
The sleepy mute brother saw Su Yuting, but his originally drowsy eyes lit up. He stood up and walked quickly to Su Yuting, gestured, and made a "ah ah" sound from his mouth.
Su Yuting reached out and touched the mute brother's head gently, and smiled and said, "I miss you too, but there are many things, so I haven't been here for half a month!"
The mute brother nodded, suddenly remembered something, took out a small paper bag from his arms, and opened it carefully, but there were two air-dried candied haws inside. He pointed to the candied haws, and then pointed to Su Yuting's mouth, with a look of expectation.
Su Yuting smiled gently. As a person with great wealth in Yan Country, he did not dislike him. He gently picked up one, took a small bite, and then nodded and smiled: "It's really good. This is given to me by someone else, and I left it to me by my brother, right?"
The mute brother seemed to be very intimate with Su Yuting and nodded excitedly.
Su Yuting smiled, took out a wooden box from the package, placed it on the table, and opened it gently, but there were exquisite pastries inside. He twisted a piece of pastries from it, put it to his mouth, and said, "Try this!"
But the mute brother did not eat immediately, but turned to see the girl with big braids.
The girl is slim and wearing an old gray cotton jacket. She is turning her head to look here. Her pair of watery eyes are extremely clear and her face is delicate. Although the cotton jacket is very old-fashioned, it cannot cover up her beauty.
When the girl saw the mute brother looking over, she shook her head gently.
The mute brother was a little disappointed, but he was very obedient to his sister's words. He took a step back. Although his throat was attracted by the exquisite pastry, he still suppressed the pastry's temptation to him.
Su Yuting sighed and said, "Why do you have to make things difficult for him!"
The girl said, "You...we owe you a lot, and we can't repay you in this life..."
Su Yuting frowned and said calmly: "Why do you still say such things today? Do you think you can repay everything I do?"
Seeing that Su Yuting's tone was a little unhappy, the girl was suddenly a little scared.
Su Yuting sighed, put the pastry into the wooden box, handed it to the Yadi, and said, "Yudi, take it!"
The mute brother still dared not answer.
The girl finally sighed: "Brother Mute, don't thank you brother yet!"
The mute brother suddenly became happy and took the wooden box.
The girl brought the prepared hot noodle noodles and added two eggs. Su Yuting was not polite, so she picked up the chopsticks and tasted them deliciously. The brother and sister watched from the side, and their faces were very happy.
After eating a bowl of noodles, he even drank the soup. Su Yuting then put down the bowl and smiled and said, "I haven't eaten it so well for a long time!"
The girl bit her lip and said softly: "You...If you want to eat, you can come every day!"
Su Yuting smiled, then looked solemn and asked, "What's wrong with your father's illness now?"
"Not long ago, the doctor that Brother Su invited before came to see him again, saying that my father's condition had improved a lot, and as long as he insisted on taking the medicine, he would eventually recover." The girl whispered, with her big eyes full of gratitude: "Brother Su, you have helped us so much, I...I really don't know how to repay you..."
Su Yuting smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you always have to do with the word "reward"? "So you can recover." He took the package and said, "There is a robe here, which I made myself, for you. There is also some silver...!"
"No!" The girl waved her hand and said, "Brother Su, I owe you a lot, this...I can't accept this. I have saved some of the silver you bought for me last time, and I've got some left to get it..."
Su Yuting stood up, frowned, and then sighed, "If you really want to repay, wait until your father is fully recovered." He paused and thoughtful. After a moment, he finally said, "These money is one for you to buy medicine for your father, and the other part is for your life. Recently, I am afraid that something will happen in Beijing, and it will even be uneasy. You have to collect the stall now and go back to your house. Don't come out to set up a stall within a month... When everything calms down, I will naturally go to you."
The girl looked at Su Yuting in surprise.
Su Yuting said calmly: "Listen to me, leave here now." He walked to the side of the mute brother and said softly: "My brother, the big brother may not be able to see you for a while, but when I finish my work, I will definitely find you. Follow your sister, don't be afraid no matter what happens..." At this point, he didn't say much, looked at the girl deeply, then lifted up the hat behind his head, put it on his head, covered his face, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked out of the small tent slowly.
Stepping on the thick snow and walking a few steps, the girl finally caught up with her, her voice trembling: "Brother Su, wait!"
Su Yuting stopped walking, but did not look back, but just stood quietly.
"You... are you in danger?" The girl's eyes were red: "Don't let anything happen to you!"
Su Yuting asked softly: "Do you know my real name?"
The girl shook her head.
"My name is Su Yuting!" Su Yuting said calmly: "If I don't die this time, I will come back to see you. If I die... you... live well!" After that, Su Yuting did not stop, stepped on the snow and left resolutely.
Until Su Yuting's back disappeared, the girl with big braids still stared blankly at the direction where Su Yuting left.
"Ahhhh!" The voice of the mute brother came from behind.
The girl walked over and saw the mute brother opening the package, pointing at the package, and his face looked surprised.
She looked at the package. In addition to a silver, there was something very conspicuous. It was a robe made of tiger skin, a real tiger skin robe!
