I see the snow

It has to be said that when Xi Huai nodded slightly and glanced at people with the tip of his eyes, there was a great oppressive force.

The blue-clothed man at the table next to him was imposing, but after Xi Huai glanced at him, he was suddenly at a loss for words, unable to utter a word.

He looked at Xi Huai, Xi Huai had pale eyes and a cold description, sitting next to Yin Zhichuan, he looked like a son of a famous family traveling in a low-key manner, making that person unable to guess his identity for a while.

"Yes... yes."

He sneered and said: "What this young master said is very..."

However, ignoring the completely pleasing face of this person, Xi Huai lowered his eyebrows and sighed calmly:

"Sometimes... for this kind of person, I often don't know the meaning of what I do."

His voice was so low that even Yin Zhichuan, who was close to him, could only hear a vague ending, and the specific words were scattered in the air.

"What did the young man say?"

Seeing Xi Huai's lips and teeth move slightly, the man in blue thought he was talking to him, so he leaned over and asked.

Xi Huai shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

"I feel in my heart that my brother is far-sighted, and indeed he is the filial son and virtuous grandson of your father, and I admire him very much."

Xi Huai smiled and said, "I don't know where Xiongtai is?"

That person is a jobless vagrant who spends his days doing nothing and makes a living by earning money in casinos.

When you are lucky, you can win a few gold plants, and you will come to the brothel to squander them all;

He is usually used to being stared at by others, but he never thought that today he would be able to speak with the face of a handsome young man like Xi Huai. He immediately stood up in a daze, clasped his hands in salute, and answered with a salivating smile:

"I haven't found a suitable errand yet, only my family member Jing works in the laundry in the south of the city to earn some pocket money for the family."

Xi Huai nodded and said with a smile:

"The king's heart is really incomparable to the prime minister of the current dynasty. If your majesty knows that you are so considerate of the sacred heart, you will be so moved that you will be tearful."

The man never thought that he could get such praise from Xi Huai, and he couldn't tell whether it was a mockery or sincerity, and immediately bowed and bowed, his hands were about to break, and he kept saying:

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

"Where does this old man live?"

During the chat, there was only one old man, who was nearly [-] years old, who never interrupted, just sat there silently.

"It must be some wealthy gentleman."

One person joked: "Otherwise, at my old man's age, I still come to Qiushui Pavilion—"

He laughed narrowly, and there was an unexplained obscenity hidden in that laughter:

"It's really 'an old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles'!"

The people around understood the meaning, and they couldn't help laughing too, shaking the tea on the table slightly.

"I'm here to see my daughter."

However, when the laughter dissipated, the old man whose clothes were washed white and could not be seen how long he had been wearing them said quietly: "We are from Guanshan County. The old boy used to be a soldier in the army and was a deputy general. Later, he beat horse thieves. Disabled, I went home to farm. In the event of a drought, the whole family starved to death, only my youngest daughter followed me from Guanshan County to beg all the way here, and went to the Qiushui Pavilion to make a living.”

Everyone was silent for a moment, as if a gust of cool wind had blown into this noisy wind and dust field, blowing coldly from the tip of the hands and the tip of the heart, making everyone silent, not knowing what to say.

Yin Zhichuan saw the crutch in his hand leaning against the edge of the table, looked down, and didn't notice just now that one of the old man's trousers under the table was actually empty.

His old clothes looked ragged, but if you look carefully, you can find that they are actually the style of military uniforms. It must be the most decent set of clothes left behind when he was a lieutenant general.

"you……"

The blue-clothed man who just published the high-level theory of "starving to death at home is not to cause trouble for His Majesty" blushed, and said angrily: "You are lying! You know that to be a lieutenant general is to make second-class achievements on the battlefield. A hero with more than five hundred horse thieves! You are such a rotten old man, you are sincerely slandering my magnificent army and discipline!"

However, the old man did not argue with him, he just quietly raised his hand, picked up the chopsticks on the table and knocked on the case vertically——

In an instant, the table trembled slightly, and the man in blue felt a sharp pain in his leg stretched under the table. He yelled frantically, "Ah!—" and fell back onto the ground with his legs crossed.

The old man put away his chopsticks calmly, still in such a silent and shabby manner, he just shook his head and said:

"I'm old. I can't do many things. There are only so many clever things left."

In fact, thinking about it is also true, from Guanshan County to the capital of the stars, such a long distance, if you don't have a bit of self-defense, how can you pass through the Tianshan pass without being torn apart by the wolves there?

Everyone looked at the old man with a little more awe in their eyes.

"Those who are crippled by battle can receive twenty gold beads before leaving."

After a long silence, it was Yin Zhichuan who suddenly said: "Old man, have you gone to get your twenty gold beads?" "Ten of the twenty gold plants were taken privately by the nephew of Mr. Joining the Army."

The old man shook his head and said calmly, "I bought the remaining ten coins and bought a field. After the drought, it will become wasteland."

Yin Zhichuan thought, it really is so.

Otherwise, twenty gold beads, even if there is a drought, no matter what, a lieutenant in the army will not be reduced to the situation of sending his daughter to a brothel to make a living.

"Ugh……"

After a while, he probably didn't know what to say. The man in blue who had just shown his great interest in being "His Majesty's filial son and grandson" could only reluctantly speak again:

"It's something that can't be helped. Things like this are happening everywhere. Corrupt officials. There's no way to solve this. The adults in the court don't want to... They must have made a lot of efforts."

"yes……"

Another person echoed: "Our Shengyang is already very good. I heard that Liang Cheng's soldiers don't have military pay. Their king is very stupid. Ordinary people can't even eat a tea egg, and even the concubines in the palace You can only drink chicken soup once a year..."

Thinking of this, the sadness and unhappiness caused by the old man's words just now disappeared very quickly.

The tea table laughed and laughed again, very satisfied with their current life, and the laughter resumed.

Only Yinzhichuan was still looking at the ragged military uniform on the old man, his eyes looked so cloudy amid Yingyingyanyan's singing.

This pair of ears that have heard military drums, silent horses, and sharp swords and short soldiers on the battlefield, wonder if they can catch the singing that belongs to their daughter in such a noisy hustle and bustle.

"That's how it is in this world."

In the silence, seeing Yin Zhichuan remained silent, Xi Huai smiled, pushed the white jade porcelain cup in front of him with his fingers, and said indifferently: "There are many ironic and absurd things happening. Sometimes you want to change it, but it's broken The most fundamental thing. Even if you know what to do in your heart, you can't do it."

"Are you trying to comfort me?

Yin Zhichuan was startled, and the corners of his lips curled up playfully.

"No."

Xihuai said.He raised his chin, indicating a diagonal direction: "The person you're waiting for on this trip is here, and he's right there."

Zhu Shifeng's every appearance is funny.

Surrounding him always seemed to be sex, whorehouses, and raped women.

Yin Zhichuan looked at the fat and familiar figure, and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu, Miss Zhaoyue has a private room today, you can't go in."

Outside the Accord that belonged to Zhaoyue, two guards stretched out their hands, forming a shape of a cross, blocking Zhu Shifeng outside, saying:

"Please come back tomorrow."

"I said, hey."

Zhu Shifeng had his hips akimbo, and the small eyes on his fat face were wide open, showing an expression of disbelief: "Who dares to snatch Lao Tzu's chick? I have been here every day for half a month, doesn't the old bust know? How can I?" Let others go in! Someone, call Shi Niang over here!"

That was the "honored guest" behind Peacock Qingling that Xihuai had noticed when Yinzhichuan first arrived.

A low-key minister in the court who does not show his mountains and dews.I don't know what identity it is.

But Yin Zhichuan looked at his situation, he should be from a family at worst.

"oops……"

After a while, Pingting, a well-dressed woman with eyebrows and eyes, came, holding a champagne in her hand, and said softly, "Young Master Zhu."

Zhu Shifeng stared at her: "What does this mean!?"

Shi Niang faltered: "Zhaoyue has a young master who is interested in it today..."

"Call him out!"

Zhu Shifeng suddenly raised his voice: "Is it that kid Qin Ge! He has grown courageous and dared to rob me in an open and honest manner! I can't beat that mad dog in Yinzhichuan, can't I kill him?..."

As he said, he pushed his sleeves up his arms, revealing his soft, white and fat flesh, yelling that he was about to rush in——

"It's not Qin Ge."

Under the attic, Yin Zhichuan picked up his wine glass and sipped the bad wine that was half mixed with cold water, and frowned at the heat: "He's right. Qin Ge really doesn't have the guts."

But it is gratifying to congratulate, after two lessons of blood and tears, Zhu Shifeng finally learned to control his mouth in Yinzhichuan "unseen" places this time.

He pushed away the servant who stood in front of him, and cursed, "I don't believe it anymore... There is a third person in the capital of stars and fields that I can't afford to mess with..."

"What's the noise?"

However, just when Zhu Shifeng pushed the guards in front of him and Shi Niang was twisting her handkerchief, "Hey...", the bead curtain was suddenly pushed aside——

There was a sound of "dingling jingling", a cold and elegant young man slowly raised his eyes from the Accord burning with styrax——

His face was pale, he was still wearing the official robes of the court, his eyes were clear and elegant, with the coldness and boredom that only a very rich and noble family member had in his expression, he looked at Zhu Shifeng with a frown.

Zhu Shifeng also froze:

"you--?"

But the man slowly turned his gaze back, casually, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Zhu."

"haven't seen you for a long time."
