"Follow me to the government in a while and redeem your slave status."

Li Jiu looked puzzled.

Situ Lu smiled: "If you prefer to work in my winery as a servant, I don't mind."

Li Jiu was not surprised or moved like Situ Lu's image, but looked at Situ Lu with eyes as quiet as a jar of old wine.

Situ Lu's kindness did not get the response it deserved, and his interest suddenly dropped by half: "Why, you are still happy to be a slave?"

Li Jiu said indifferently: "I am a slave or a good citizen, it is not important."

So what's the big deal?Situ Lu didn't ask, or he had already faintly sensed it.It's just that just because he feels it doesn't mean he will accept it.

Li Jiu looked at the silent Situ Lu, and returned the same silence.

"Let's go, the government." Situ Lu insisted on his decision.

After a visit to the government, Li Jiuliang obtained his citizenship, and Situ Lv Winery's income for two years was gone.

Then, Situ Lu said a very capricious sentence to Li Jiu: "You go, my winery doesn't need a new guy."

Li Jiu was a little helpless to Situ Lu's change of mind: "Then you spent this money in vain?"

"Thousands of money can't buy me, I'm happy." Situ Lu looked at Li Jiu indifferently, "I didn't think you should be a slave at the last moment, so I redeemed you. At this moment, I don't want to see you, so I drove you away."

Li Jiu didn't leave, but silently followed Situ Lu home.Situ Lu also acquiesced in Li Jiu's following, and did not drive him away.

At the door of the house, Situ Lu finally spoke: "You have nothing to do with me now, and if you follow me again, you will be breaking into a private house."

Li Jiu paused, and said in a very unassuming tone: "Tomorrow, tomorrow."

Situ Lu didn't mind this little matter, so he agreed casually.

Until it was dusk, Situ Lu didn't see Li Jiu come to disturb him.

Above the night, the stars twinkle.It is expected that Qiao Chunhan added thin shirts for the star-gazers, and the peach trees in the courtyard let the night breeze pluck off petals.

Blowing Ye Qingxiao, leisurely passed into Situ Lu's ears.There would be no one else blowing the leaves except Li Jiu, so Situ Lu didn't plan to find the source of the sound of blowing leaves.

However, after distinguishing the melody, Situ Lu frowned slightly, and then became a little annoyed, and finally couldn't sit still anymore, walked out of his small courtyard, and went to the person who was blowing leaves in the garden.

"You said you don't know this song, you said it this morning."

Li Jiu stopped playing, and replied with a wry smile: "That harp belongs to Lingtang, but now it is in the hands of you, a person who can't play konghou. I think the person who can play konghou can't play it now. If I Play the tune she used to play, and you'll only think about the person who was playing the tune, not me who is playing the tune."

Situ Lu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I drove you away for the same reason. Now you can only see the bones that have been buried in the loess for thousands of years, but you can't see me, a living person who was born in the prosperous Chang'an .”

Li Jiu was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "You are right. I still use the name of the ancients, trying to continue the obsession that should have been buried long ago, but you have let go of the past and only live for the present."

Situ Lu smiled casually, and said: "To be precise, I don't believe in the past and present life at all. Different paths do not conspire with each other, so I have nothing to say to you."

Li Jiu sighed, poured the wine out of the two jade cups he had already prepared, put it on the stone table, and said, "Then don't talk, just drink from the bar."

Situ Lu sat down on the stone bench, glanced at the wine jug and the wine glass, and did not intend to drink in silence, but said, "The wine jug is mine, but the wine glass is not."

Li Jiu added: "The wine is yours too." After that, he took two small paper bags and poured the powder into the wine glass respectively.

Situ Lu was a little displeased, and frowned, "I heard that your sense of taste is different from ordinary people's. Do you think my wine is not good, and you need to put so many things in it?"

"No, your wine is delicious. I don't have any regrets if I can drink such fine wine in this life." Li Jiu smiled and reached for the wine glass.

Wind blows.The light of the lantern flickered on and off, casting a swaying peach blossom on Li Jiu's body, and the flower shadow slowly fell from Li Jiu's body, blending into the boundless darkness.

Not good.

In an instant, Situ Lu suddenly had an extremely bad premonition, as if countless alarm bells were ringing in the world, and his body was out of control...

"Chong-"

The two jade cups flew out under Situ Lu's sudden sweep.The one that Li Jiu reached out to grab fell on the flower pot and shattered to the ground. The other one survived only being swept by his sleeve and caught on the branches and leaves.

"What are you doing?"

It wasn't until he heard Li Jiu's words that Situ Lu came back to his senses, and explained unconvincingly: "My hand slipped."

Li Jiu smiled wryly and said, "At first I wanted to use this to pay for the redemption money you gave me, but now I only have one left, I'm afraid it's not enough."

I didn't intend to ask you to pay back the money.Situ Lu thought so, but changed his words: "Then make money for me."

Li Jiu was stunned for a moment, then took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Situ Lu: "This is the last thing on my body, let it be worth as much as it can be worth, and I will make money if it is worse."

Situ Lu took the cloth bag, weighed it casually, and opened it.In the cloth bag, there were several shellfish coins, with the smell of tomb soil that had faded.After a moment of silence, Situ Lu said a very realistic sentence: "Compared with these two jade cups of excellent quality, the value of things like shellfish is really low. Honestly, go make money, I only recognize this The money in this life, don't think about delaying the debt until the next life."

Li Jiu smiled wryly: "Yes, yes, I will work hard to make money. Don't make your interest so high that I can't pay it!"

Situ Lu put away the cloth bag and the unbroken jade cup, got up and patted the dust on his body, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned his head and glanced at Li Jiu from the corner of his eye: "That depends on how long you plan to delay It is." After saying that, he left without waiting for an answer.

The jade cup was broken by Situ Lu, but Li Jiu didn't intend to blame Situ Lu.Although Situ Lu didn't understand this point, since Li Jiu proposed it himself, he only had to agree or reject it.

It's just that I didn't think it was a pity that the jade cup was broken, but the pile of shell coins that were worthless at all seemed like priceless treasures. I just took a half-hearted glance under the lamp, and I couldn't forget it anymore.Perhaps, it is because the jade cup is an ordinary object, and the shell coin is an important object.But something that can be given to others is nothing more than a thing.

Put these two things on the low table beside the bed casually, wash up briefly, and then climbed onto the bed.

Maybe it was because I got up too late in the morning, and even though it was already night, I still didn't feel sleepy.

The sound of blowing leaves sounded crisply in the quiet night, even though it was far away, it could still be heard a little, but the tone was no longer the one that displeased Situ Lu.

"Singing to wine, how much life is..." Singing softly along with the tune, Situ Lu realized that his state was a little out of order.

Shaking his head, not listening to the sound of blowing leaves that disturbed his thoughts, he tried to fall asleep for the countless times.

tossing and turning.

The really bored Situ Lu finally couldn't lie down and got up.

The jade cups and shell coins are placed on the low table like this, and they can be seen when you stand up.The shell coins are still in the cloth bag, but the jade cup can be seen at a glance.He picked up the jade cup casually, and looked at it with the help of a weak candle.

Lantian jade, ice species, the light is not good enough to see the head of the water, but it is speculated that there is two parts of water, the color is really hard to see.As for the carvings, they follow a simple path, with no grain on the whole body, and only simple cup shapes. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as that of the court, it is the top grade among the people.As for the age, it should be newly picked in recent years.

If we want to talk about special places, we should count the traces of the wine that has just been filled in the glass.It feels sticky, like... sugar?

So what's in the other glass?Is it sugar too?Situ Lu wanted to ask for a certificate, but he didn't want to know the answer to the question subtly.Anyway, the shards are in the garden, so there is no rush right now, it's better to go and have a look tomorrow at dawn.

Thinking of this, he put down the jade cup and picked up the cloth bag containing shell coins.Cloth was sackcloth, old and had many stains.The type of shell coins should be bone coins, there are thirty pieces in total, and the soil on the shell coins should be grave soil in terms of smell.It is an unearthed product with no characteristics, and its value is not even as good as the value of this pile of shellfish in its original age.

The tomb of the nobles in the Western Zhou Dynasty... Could this pile of shell coins belong to that tomb?Otherwise, there is no reason for Li Jiu to always carry it with him.

The candle burned out, and the already faint light flickered and went out.

The drowsiness hit just right, Situ Lu put down the shellfish casually, taking advantage of the drowsiness and finally fell asleep.
