As we get closer and closer to the capital, I keep feeling like I'm missing something. I just can't remember. My heart feels strange. Mao Shi Ba seemed to have something on his mind and started to talk less. I knew he was worried about finding Ao Bai and laughed to myself. Little Lian was even happier. After a few days, they arrived at the capital. Heh, this was Beijing. It was a sea of ancient buildings. No, no, this was really an ancient building complex. There were shops on both sides of the road, one next to the other. The streets were filled with people. It was quite prosperous. It was really--
It was Little Lian's first time in such a big city. Everything was new to her. She kept asking questions. To be honest, I didn't know what many things were. Fortunately, Mao Shi Ba was knowledgeable and began to show off excitedly. He was foaming at the mouth and his black face swelled up as if it had been scalded by boiling water. I urged them to find a place to stay and finally found an inn to settle down. After several months of traveling, we were all holding our breath. Once we arrived, we immediately felt extremely tired. After entering the guest room, we fell asleep.
She slept until noon the next day. I started to think about the next step of my plan. I had to settle Little Lian first. If I went to the palace, it would take at least a few months before I could come out. I was worried about Little Lian alone, and if she was with Mao Shiba, I would be even more worried. It was said that the ancients had their own style and conduct, and they adhered to the sacred principle of not fooling around with a friend's wife. But damn it, Ximen Qing was also an ancient person. Why didn't he have any conduct? I can't take this risk. There was also the question of where to find Hai Dafu. The book said that he was in a small tavern in the west of the city, but the time and place were not clearly stated. According to my calculations, we arrived in the capital ahead of time, but it was also possible that Wei Xiaobao and Mao Shiba had rushed to the capital. Xiao Bao was a young child by nature, and walking slowly was not his style. Perhaps they could make up for the ten days they had spent recuperating in the village. Suddenly, I remembered that there was a scene in the book with Mu Wangfu at the roadside shop. No wonder I always felt that something was wrong before I entered the capital. From the beginning, we didn't match the time of the original work. Thinking of this, I was so anxious that my forehead was covered in sweat. I hurriedly called Mao Shi Ba up and pulled him towards the west of the city. For a moment, he actually forgot about Little Lian.
?" Little Treasure, where are we going?"? Mao Shi Ba asked. Why didn't you bring Little Lian?"
There was indeed something wrong with this old fellow. The first thing he said was Little Lian.
I ignored him and searched the taverns one by one. After searching for a long time, I didn't find an old man and a young man wearing eunuch clothes. After a while, Mao Shi Ba became anxious and said,""Where are you going? I don't understand. If you don't tell me, I won't leave.”After saying that, he sat down on the threshold of a tavern and acted shamelessly. I had to coax him and say,"We're not here to find Oboi."”Mao Shi Ba burst out laughing, then said seriously: "That's right, that's right. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. There are many taverns in the capital.”I cursed in my heart. You bastard, do you really think I'm stupid? Why would a person like Ao Bai come to this kind of place? You little Russian are really afraid of Ao Bai. You climbed along the pole and wasted time with me. But this is just what I want.
We searched for an entire afternoon, but there was no result. Our calves and stomachs were cramping, and our stomachs were growling. Only then did we remember that we hadn't eaten since we entered the inn yesterday. I'm afraid Little Lian is also hungry. Little Lian! Damn it, how could I have forgotten about Little Lian? She must be hungry. She has no one at the feet of this emperor. When she wakes up and doesn't see the two of us, I don't know how anxious she will be.
Pulling Mao Shi Ba along, he ran towards the inn, cursing himself in his heart. Just as I ran to the entrance of the inn, I saw Little Lian sitting on the threshold of the inn, crying with her head lowered. That petite and pitiful figure made my heart ache. "Little Lian!" I shouted. Little Lian suddenly raised her head and saw my anxious eyes. She cried," Little Treasure…" She ran towards me. I ran towards her and held her tightly in my arms.
She leaned on my shoulder and cried as she said,"Little Treasure, where did you go? I thought you didn't want Little Lian anymore.”I hugged her tightly with my left hand and patted her back with my right hand."How can that be? Little Treasure wants Little Lian. Little Treasure will never leave Little Lian in his entire life. Little Lian is Little Treasure's heart. Even if I lose my life, I will not lose you.”I started to search for Auntie Qiong Yao's TV series in my mind, hoping to find a few more mushy sentences. However, after thinking for a long time, I only got one sentence: 'The mountain has no edges, the heaven and the earth are united, only then can I dare to die.'This sentence didn't seem to be appropriate here. It was all because I didn't usually watch television. I didn't have any ready-made mushy words in my stomach. How could I lose my meat at such a critical moment? It was really a pity that I didn't have enough meat when I used it.
Mao Shi Ba stood at the side, not knowing what to do. He stammered,""This…this…let's go in and eat.”Little Lian and I suddenly woke up. We were on the streets of ancient times. A few people quickly gathered around us and pointed at us. The two of us hurriedly separated. Little Lian's cheeks were red as she lowered her head deeply, afraid that she would find a hole to hide in. I smiled awkwardly and said,"Yes, everyone is hungry. Let's go eat."”
After this incident, I became even closer to Little Lian. I know that she can't leave me now, and I…can't leave her either. Who knows what will happen in the future? Anyway, I'm with Little Lian now and I'm very happy.
At the dining table, I explained to Little Lian in detail that Mao Shi Ba and I had gone out to seek Ao Bai to avenge her father. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he did not dare to disturb her, which was why she was shocked. When Little Lian saw me, she was so happy that she forgot everything, so she didn't blame me. It was probably the scene outside the inn that made her absent-minded. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at me. Her small face was red and she looked like she was in love. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel happy. I kept putting food into her bowl, and she became more and more shy.
In the next few days, I took Mao Shi Ba to the west of the city. Xiao Lian wanted to go with me, but I told her it was too dangerous and ordered her to wait at the inn. At this moment, Little Lian was very obedient and obediently waited in the guest room. The moment I came back, she served me tea and served me to wash my face and eat. In the morning, when I woke up, she came over to help me comb my hair and tidy my clothes. I was comfortably served by her, and I only hoped that my days would continue to be like this. He wasn't in a hurry to find Hai Dafu.
After more than ten days, he still hadn't met Hai Dafu. Mao Shi Ba was a little anxious and kept looking for an excuse to escape. I don't think this is a solution. At least we have to settle down Xiao Lian before making any plans. He dragged Mao Shi Ba to a tavern to discuss: "Big Brother Mao, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find this Ao Bai. We live in an inn, and people come and go all day.”Mao Shi Ba had been waiting for me to say this. Before I could finish, he said," You see, Oboi doesn't dare to go out all day, and I haven't seen him for a while. Why don't you…""Why don't we rent a house and search slowly?”
?" That won't do." Mao Shi Ba was anxious." I have a lot of things to do. I can't delay." Why don't you stay in the capital for a few more days and go back when you're done? Your mother might be anxious.”
As he spoke, he took out two big ingots from his pocket."Little Treasure, take this 100 taels of silver and use it if you need anything. I really have something important to do. I'm going to leave for a few days. I'll come back to see you in a few days. Don't worry, Ao Bai won't be able to escape.”
Nonsense, why was Ao Bai running away? He was probably happily bullying Little Xuanzi. On second thought, I didn't manage to meet Hai Dafu in the tavern anyway. This two-faced bastard was useless. He was an eyesore between me and Little Lian. I should just get him to scram.
Thinking of this, I put away the silver and said,"Since that's the case, Brother Mao, it's more important for you to do something big. Little Lian and I will stay in the capital for a few more days.”Mao Shi Ba was overjoyed and hurriedly took out a handful of silver and stuffed it into my hand.""That's good. You and Little Lian are fated. Take this opportunity to play for a few more days. I'll be leaving soon. Good brother, although the capital is under the feet of the emperor, it's also a mix of good and bad.”I couldn't help but be moved by the sincerity of the last few words. I thought about how we had talked and laughed along the way. Seeing that we were about to part, I couldn't bear to. I couldn't help but hold Mao Shi Ba's hand with tears in my eyes." Big Brother Mao…" But he couldn't say anything.
Mao Shi Ba seemed to have been infected as well. His eyes were red and he couldn't help but want to stay. In the end, he gritted his teeth and cupped his fists."Brother Wei, we'll meet again." He walked away in large strides, his posture extremely elegant, never looking back.
When he returned to the inn and told Little Lian that Mao Shi Ba had left, Little Lian couldn't help but feel sad. I said that Mao Shi Ba was only going to do something and would come back after a while. I also said that Mao Shi Ba said that he would come back to drink our wedding wine, which made Xiao Lian blush all the way to her neck. I don't know where else he blushed, so I won't mention it anymore.
That night, I called the waiter over and gave him two taels of silver. I ordered him to help me find a house. The waiter happily agreed and woke me up early the next morning to bring me and Little Lian to look at the house. This was a Siheyuan. The courtyard was not big. The main room had a living room with two entrances and three rooms, and the side rooms had two rooms. The furniture was complete. It was originally the residence of a royal medicine merchant, and he had secretly raised a concubine here. Because of his crime, he was sent to prison and the family was in decline. When his sons were fighting for the family property, they found the deed to the house. A group of people came over and beat him up. His wife quickly rolled up the valuables and ran back to her hometown in Shandong. The deed was fought over by several brothers. In the end, the old man used up all the money in the family and was released. None of the sons were good. The things they fought for were taken back by the old man and they were even punished by the family. Every time the old lady saw this deed, she would feel stifled. She cried and scolded the old man for being heartless. He kept a woman behind her back and insisted on selling the house. The old man could not argue with her. Coupled with the lack of money at home, he could only agree. He heard from the waiter that this family's surname was Bai. The eldest son of his family, who was the most ruthless in snatching things and was beaten up the most, opened a small medicine shop. The name was quite novel, called the Hundred Herbs Hall.
The entire courtyard cost 60 taels. I didn't understand the housing prices in Beijing at this time, so I agreed immediately. The next day, both parties signed at the inn. I asked the innkeeper to be the middleman and successfully obtained the deed. That night, I moved over. The old maid who used to be the owner of the house was still here. I left her to take care of our food and drink. Her monthly salary was three cents of silver, which was one cent more than what her original owner gave. The old maid was very happy and especially attentive. He also bought a maid and spent fifteen taels of silver. I knew that this girl was not worth this price. The daughters of poor families in ancient times were not worth much. However, seeing that this maid was still pretty, she happily pretended to be confused.
Thus, I had my first home in the capital. I was with Little Lian all day long, and I was quite proud of myself for being able to maintain my gentlemanly demeanor. Little Lian probably already thought that she was mine, so she became gentler and showed her kindness in every way. She even washed my feet before I went to bed at night.
