Chapter 145 Wei Zhongdao, who can't lift his head
The shadows of people were cut at dusk. The streets were relatively lively at this time. The shops on both sides and the vendors on the street had not yet been packed. Some wealthy shops hung lanterns on their street eaves early, spreading out in spots. There were not many pedestrians on the street, but there were also many. Gongsun Zhi and Cai Yan came over, and the small street seemed a little crowded.
On weekdays, people don’t have such opportunities in the grassland. Most of them are on the mountain when they arrive in Jizhou. Cai Yan is quiet and has almost no chance to go shopping with her husband. Now she is holding her lover’s arm and is naturally happy and happy. She looks like the crowd and shuttles through her. She hasn’t seen the bustling city for two years. She can’t help but walk lightly and occasionally jump around. The girl’s mentality is fully revealed.
Although this era did not have too much constraints on women, walking hand in hand on the street like this is still relatively alternative. In the past two years, Gongsun Zhi came to this era, mostly in the northern grasslands, mingling among the bandits, and did not have much understanding of the etiquette concepts of the Han Dynasty.
Cai Yan is different. When his father was alive, he was a great scholar and attached great importance to his concepts and etiquette. He was able to relax now, probably because he had been restrained for too long, or because of the influence of Gongsun Zhi and other bandits, he was much more casual than men at this time.
There are also many snacks at the stalls on both sides of the street, and some small items that can be played with in their hands, but these are not very attractive after all. After a while, I ran to Hua Xiong and others on the way. Cai Yan ran to the cloth shop not far away, picked some brocade, and pasted it on Gongsun Zhi's chest to compare.
"This color is not suitable... My husband is more suitable for black."
Then he took some brocade of different colors to compare with others. Pan Feng clewed his head: "We have one more?"
"Of course there is. I happen to be some female porn. If you beat me to death, you can't be stingy with your husband all the way. Besides, I'm idle most of the time..." The delicate hand held the brocade, and the woman looked at the man next to her: "...What do you think, husband?"
Gongsun Zhi nodded and obeyed her pamperingly. There was nothing wrong with this matter, and it even better won people's hearts. A group of bachelors around him grinned and bowed: "Madam Thank you!"
"Actually, the quality of this store is not good. Let's go to the next store to see. We have to buy more of it, so we can't be cheated." Cai Yan took her husband's hand and walked out of the cloth store quickly. The crowd hurriedly followed, leaving the store blinking and watching them leave. His lips trembled and muttered: "If you don't buy... I won't buy it. Why do you say so much? It's a waste of happiness."
After walking around the street for a moment, Gongsun Zhi looked at his energetic and lively wife and whispered: "Have you never gone shopping in Luoyang before?"
"Yes..." On the bun, Zhu Yao shook lightly, and the woman turned her head: "But it's rare, after all, there's nothing to do with one person."
"What about now?"
"Now... I'm very happy. There are many people together... the most important thing is to have a husband by my side."
Gongsun Zhi smiled and reached out to let the woman hold it up. When he walked to the next street, it was still lively. It looked more grand than the previous street. There were mostly wine shops and teahouses on both sides. The road was spacious and occasionally there were ox carts passing by. On a second floor with the silhouette of the word "Wine" was hung, a young man named Zhongdao sat down opposite him.
"...Now the beacon fire in Yanzhou suddenly arose, Liu Dai died in battle, Yanzhou's surname is Cao, and his uncle was betting on the right treasure at the beginning. Brother Gong Zhen would like to help Zhongdao more in the future."
The man named Gong Zhen on the opposite side was Wei Zi's son, Wei Zhen, whose courtesy name was Gong Zhen. His father contributed money to help when Cao Cao raised his army. Later, he died in the battle against Xu Rong. The family was lost for a while. However, after Cao Cao took office in Yanzhou, outsiders naturally felt that the Wei family had the capital to regain their capital.
"When my father was alive, he said... Cao Cao was very human."
Wei Zhen is only a double ten, and after pouring wine, he can't help but feel a little proud in his words, and he can't help but sigh at his father's original bet. He was not very happy with his peer in front of him. When his father died and his family was in decline, he had never received funding from the Hedong family. At this time, he was eager to seek benefits, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But the family has many branches, after all, their surname is Wei, so it is unreasonable not to help.
After such words began, the topic of how to get a piece of the war gradually became involved in the two of them. Most of the drinkers on the second floor of the restaurant were driven away by the guards brought by Wei Zhongdao, and the surroundings became quiet.
"Cao Yanzhou was first in charge and after war, the price of grain in Juye must have changed every day. If the army was short of food, there would be enough food in Hedong. It would be possible to carry some over the difficulties." The cup was turned in his hand, and Wei Zhongdao looked handsome and his hair was neat, as if he had already come back to life from the blow of his newlywed wife being taken away, but his eyes were sharper.
"Brother Gong Zhen, don't hesitate anymore. Uncle should use his kindness back then, so he should use it earlier. Otherwise, in a few years, who will remember... At this time, our two guards can join forces to eat Yanzhou. Cao Cao will turn a blind eye because he remembers his old love..."
The afternoon breeze swept across the window and brought the noisy sound of the street below. The young man talked about the above things with Wei Zhen opposite him in high spirits. When he waited for the other party to reply, his eyes occasionally looked at the market below and then fell on the people walking by.
Specifically, it was the woman among two close figures.
A tall man wearing a cloak, a beautiful woman in a light green dress was choosing fun items on the street. There were more than 20 people behind them, but they were covered in rags. Although they looked imposing, they looked more like bandits in the mountains.
"What are Zhongdao looking at... From the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, there are always strange people coming into the city. Zhongdao should not be surprised." As he spoke, he didn't notice that Wei Zhongdao's original smile had froze, his fingers were tightly pinched together, and his eyes turned red.
After a while, Wei Zhongdao suddenly stood up, turned around and ran downstairs, left the door of the restaurant and stood on the street, looking back and forth, the group of people who had just passed by had disappeared at the end of the street...
"Cai Yan... Zhao Ji..."
He murmured the woman's name and suddenly laughed again. The pedestrians were watching him strangely, hiding away a little, as if they were watching a madman.
After standing for a while, he returned to the upper floor, and had no intention of continuing to talk. Seeing that his expression was different, Wei Zhen asked about the situation, the young man opposite suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Gong Zhen guess who I saw just now?"
"who?"
"Cai Yan...the daughter of Cai Yong...my wife who was stolen by the thief just after passing the door... Brother Gong Zhen still has power in Yanzhou, so why not help me inquire about it...how?"
"What do you want?"
"Of course I have to find it back!" Wei Zhongdao was excited. After all, his wife was robbed and he couldn't recover for a long time. What's more important is that he would not be disgraced. The opportunity to be a filial and honest man was given to his brother Wei Ji. If he could find his woman and kill those bandits, the grievances in his heart would not be dispelled, but he could also raise his head again.
