Chapter 84 Two Bamboo Slips (2)
Shu Yan smiled but didn't answer, Xiao Mo said: "If it's not him, who else?" Ye Chung checked it clearly after seeing it, immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Shu Yan, and knelt to bow, but Shu Yan hurriedly stopped him and said
Ask him to sit down again.
Ye Chong said with tears of gratitude: "Today I received a letter from my family. The letter said that a few days ago, my family was running out of money. Suddenly, a young man claiming to be from Luoyang rode a bay-red horse and brought gifts to my family.
I paid a lot of money, but I didn’t leave my name. I just said that I was helping Brother Ye go home. I put down the money and left. I thought about it for a long time: My own expenses in Luoyang are still tight, and I have never paid any money.
who
I sent money home. I don’t know any young men in Luoyang. But when I mentioned the bay red horse, I thought of you. I thought about it carefully and found that the days when you asked for leave coincided with the days when you sent money to my family.
That’s right, who else would it be if you weren’t the one? Traveling thousands of miles away to send money to a family that you are not related to, without leaving your name, and willing to risk being punished by your boss, who else would do this kind of thing besides you, Brother Shu?
"
After hearing this, Shu Yan smiled lightly and said: "It's not as serious as you said. I just think it would be a pity if you just give up like this. I have relieved your worries so that you can wait here with peace of mind for the arrangements of the officials."
Ye Chong knew that Shu Yan was sincerely helping him, so he didn't need to say too many polite words. He only said: "There is no way to be more kind to a kind person."
It was getting late, so Ye Chung sat for a while and then went back. After he went back, he passed the incident to others as a good talk, and contacted the "Book of Music" and said that the long-lost "Book of Music" made Shu Yan
What he gets is the blessing he deserves because he upholds benevolence.
In this way, everyone in the Secretariat of Shangshutai knew that Shu Yan sent money to Ye Chong Qianli, as well as the precious book "The Book of Music", and learned to play the flute from Xiao Mo.
The weather was continuously hot and humid, and there was a lot of moisture in the house. The weather was good that day. Before Shu Yan came on duty, he told Xiao Mo to take the two volumes of "The Book of Music" outside to bask in the sun. Be careful about the weather, and be sure to remember it if it rains.
To put it away.
Xiao Mo took the two scrolls of bamboo slips outside the window sill and spread them out to dry. The sun was blazing all day long without any clouds. The cicadas on the trees outside kept chirping "hissing". In Shu Yan's eyes,
Before coming back, Xiao Mo had prepared the meal: a plate of fresh side dishes such as chives and custard, and a basin of light steamed egg custard. They were placed in the pot without being taken out. The weather was too hot, so even if he did nothing,
, sweat would automatically break out, not to mention that Xiao Mo had been busy in the kitchen for a long time. She wore a lot of clothes, and her chest and back were already soaked with sweat. She found a bathtub, put it in her room, and directly
I scooped cold water from the water tank outside. Although it was cold water, it had been exposed to the sun for most of the day, so it was more like warm water. This water was suitable for bathing, and there was no need to boil hot water at all.
Knowing that it was still early for Shu Yan to come back, Xiao Mo still closed the door. After getting along with Shu Yan for so long, he didn't let him know that she was a girl at all. This was all due to how well she concealed it: First,
My personality is carefree, not at all quiet and dignified, like a man; secondly,
She is of foreign ancestry. Compared with the small faces of Chinese women, her eyebrows, nose and other facial contours are relatively clear; thirdly, she conceals herself well. She wraps her breasts tightly with a piece of red silk and never appears in front of outsiders.
Flaws were revealed, which also caused her to suffer a lot, especially in summer.
The butterfly robe she wore had the neckline tightly sealed. Fortunately, the fabric of the robe was made of Sichuan brocade, which was very light and breathable. She untied her robe and twisted the red silk around
The ground is peeled off from the chest. These two things on the chest are the hardest to cover up, but they are well-developed.
It was so good, so white and big, that Xiao Mo had to be cruel and wrap it around a few more times. In such a hot weather, and being wrapped so tightly, the two of them had been soaked in sweat for a long time, and they felt uncomfortable.
If it doesn't work, the moment the silk is peeled off, they can't wait to jump out and relax.
Xiao Mo stepped into the bathtub and washed away the sweat stains on her body with warm water. She felt extremely comfortable. After the bath, she lay in the bathtub and enjoyed herself. Suddenly, she heard the door to the outside being pushed open.
Someone came in and stayed outside his door for a moment, and then heard the sound of rustling things.
Huh? Why did Brother Shu come back so early today? She thought, I cooked the rice and dried the two rolls of broken bamboo for him. Does he want to praise me? She put on her clothes while thinking, and lightly
I gently pushed the door open and came out. I saw that the man was also wearing a yellow five-hour court dress. Before he could see clearly, he called out: Brother Shu, you came back so early.
This gentle sentence frightened the man greatly. "Ah! Why is it you, you weirdo, why are you here?"
Xiao Mo took a look and realized that this person was not Shu Yan at all, but another person of the same age as him - Shi Biyu. "Ah, this is my room. You broke into someone else's room without asking. I haven't asked you yet."
, you should ask me first!"
"Isn't this Shu Yan's room? Why is it your room?"
"This is the room that Brother Shu and I share. Each of us has a room."
Shi Biyu immediately became domineering: "Shu Yan, the dignified Shangshu Taiseguan, he dares to leave a commoner to live here, and he is also a foreign Qiang. See if I don't sue him properly."
Xiao Mo sneered: "Huh, you're going to sue? Not only do I live here, but we also eat together. How about it? Anyway, I've got permission from the hotel to live here, and it's none of Brother Shu's business.
.You can sue casually, but you sneaked into someone else's room sneakily, and we just happened to go to see the official together to reason."
When Biyu heard this, he immediately softened. It would not be nice to hear this kind of thing spread. He said cheerfully: "I'm not here to steal your things. How can you steal anything valuable?" Even so,
He peeked into the back room again, smiled mysteriously at Xiao Mo and asked, "Do you have the Book of Music?"
"What?...month...menstruation?" This shocked Xiao Mo - did he know that I was a woman? Did he forget to put away his menstrual cloth and he saw it? That's not right, I clearly knew
After washing, she hid it. However, she still felt guilty and hurriedly closed her inner door and scolded: "What are you looking at in there with such a sly look?"
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to read "The Book of Music"..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden thunderous sound, and huge raindrops began to fall on the ground. The summer rain was like a child's face, changing at a moment's notice.
"It's broken. Two rolls of broken bamboo slips are still hanging outside." Xiao Mo rushed out and grabbed the two rolls of bamboo slips.
Although Biyu had never seen the "Book of Music", he was sure as soon as he saw these two bamboo slips. Because in the Jin Dynasty, paper had become popular and no one used bamboo slips to write, so those bulky bamboo slips must be cultural relics.
"This is it."
"That's it." Xiao Mo was relieved. It turned out that the guy was talking about this 'Le Sutra', not that 'Menstruation'.
Why did Shi Biyu come to find the "Book of Music"? It turned out that the fact that Shu Yan had the "Book of Music" not only spread throughout the Shangshutai, but also most people in other government offices in the court knew about it.
This reached Shi Biyu's ears. Shi Biyu became more energetic at this time, because a few days ago, when his father blamed him for not doing anything, he also talked about the "Le Jing". Unexpectedly, this
This book really exists. He thought: As a secretary, if I can get this book, it will be a great achievement for the secretary and even the court. He inquired about Shu Yan’s residence and found out that Shu Yan today
When Yan was on duty, there must be no one at home, so he came secretly to steal the book. What he didn't expect was that there was someone in Shu Yan's room, and it turned out to be a weirdo like Xiao Mo.
Of course Xiao Mo would not give him the Book of Music, so he said: "Isn't stealing a book considered stealing? Anyone who takes other people's things when they are not prepared is considered stealing, not to mention that this is my brother Shu's treasure."
"I won't take it away. It's okay to take a look, right?"
"Of course -" Xiao Mo handed the bamboo slip forward, then quickly took it back, smiling slyly, "No."
Bi Yu knew that Xiao Mo was difficult to deal with, and he couldn't take advantage of it. It was better to wait until Shu Yan came back. After all, they had grown up together, and maybe there was some respect. Anyway, it was raining outside at this time, so he was not in a hurry to go back. Xiao Mo didn't either
Inviting him to sit down, they only stared at him angrily, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He looked around and found that there were leeks on the table, steamed egg custard on the stove, and a small pot of yellow rice. He couldn't help but wonder: "This is yours."
All meals?”
"So what?"
"Every meal you have is so simple, just these two plates? And it's so light?"
Do you think everyone is from a wealthy family? Xiao Mo laughed in anger and asked: "How many dishes does Mr. Shi eat every day?"
"I sometimes eat by myself, and sometimes I eat with my parents. If I eat with my parents, there are usually more than 20 dishes per meal. If I eat by myself, there are more than a dozen. If it doesn't suit my appetite, I have to ask the kitchen
Do it separately. What you eat is not as good as what my slaves eat."
Xiao Mo listened to Bi Yu's words, although she didn't like it, but she knew that this was the consistent virtue of the second generation Hao, and it was not easy to argue with him, so she just picked up the plate containing the leek and dumplings and turned it under Bi Yu's nose.
He walked around and said, "Although you eat ten or twenty dishes every meal, are you sure your cook can make it taste like this?"
"Isn't it just leeks, what else..." Bi Yu had just finished speaking, when he suddenly felt a fresh fragrance hitting his nostrils, and wondered, "Hey, why is your leeks so fragrant?"
Xiao Mo laughed and said: "Ordinary people only know that when making leek dumplings, they use the stems and leaves of leeks. Little do they know that in this season, the leeks have already grown leek flowers. The leek flowers have a different fragrance than the stems and leaves of the leek. In
When making leeks and dumplings, add some
When the chive flowers are pounded in, the taste will be very different, and the focus of the chives is pounding rather than cutting. The taste of pounding is very different from the taste of cutting. After pounding, add salt and pour some sesame oil. Hehe, you
Guess how it tastes?"
Although the aroma of leek and leeks is tempting, Biyu turned his head to the side and said: "No, no matter how good the food from the humble family is, I can't eat it, otherwise it will insult the status of my family."
Xiao Mo threw the plate on the table and said angrily: "You have such a beautiful idea, who said it was for you to eat? This is for Brother Shu and us."
