Li Siye nodded unconsciously, thinking that Zhang Xiaojing was right. He just sat on the ground with peace of mind, then he remembered the urgent problem that he had just solved, and said loudly: "What can I do if I don't go out? My sister stays at home alone! If I can't go out, she will
You might starve to death!"
Zhang Xiaojing frowned seriously: "Why didn't you say anything just now? This matter is so simple for me."
Li Siye wanted to curse, but I just looked worried and begged the jailer anxiously. Didn't you see it?
He calmed down his anger rationally, and now he urgently needed the help of this local snake in Chang'an City to find a solution, and his tone became much softer: "Jinglang, if you have a solution, please help me think of it quickly. Si Ye will be very grateful."
Zhang Xiaojing stood up holding his shoulders, lowered his head and said: "Sit here peacefully, I will handle your sister's affairs."
He walked to the wooden pillar of the cell and squatted down, narrowed his one eye and shouted outside: "Cell boss! Cell boss!"
The jailer in soap clothes came over with a wooden stick and cursed: "Why are you making a noise? You will die!"
Zhang Xiaojing raised his head and said, "I have a pain in my head. I'm going to die from the pain soon. I need to buy some medicine."
Li Siye thought that the warder would teach Zhang Xiaojing a lesson or walk away, but he didn't expect that the prison warder would squat down and ask with a greedy smile: "What medicine do you want to buy?"
"Of course I want to buy medicine that will give me peace of mind."
Zhang Xiaojing took out a spice box from his arms. This spice box was made of silver. The jailer went to get it happily, but Zhang Xiaojing shrank back and said, "This is not for you. You took this to Dunyifang."
Wen Ji Xiang Shop went to find Boss Wen, exchanged this for a thousand dollars from him, and brought him to see me in prison."
He handed the silver pancake box to the jailer, but the jailer pushed it back and said with a low smile: "I have been told by the superiors that you two are important prisoners and according to the regulations, you are not allowed to visit the prison."
Zhang Xiaojing looked at the greedy jailer with one eye, pressed the box of fragrant cakes into his hand and said, "This silver box and the fragrant cakes inside are worth three thousand yuan. Go to Wenji Incense Shop to find Wen Wuji to exchange for the same amount."
, how about this?”
The jailer chuckled softly: "That's pretty much it."
He stood up as if there was no one around, glanced around with his eyebrows, and then said loudly, "You have a headache, right? Wait! I'll buy you some medicine."
Li Siye's eyes widened in astonishment. It was so simple. He didn't understand that the jailer had treated him so badly just now, but now he was so easy to talk to Zhang Xiaojing.
Zhang Xiaojing sat back against the wall, chewing straw easily and turned to Li Siye and said, "Wait patiently. When my brother comes to visit the prison, your daughter will be settled."
Li Siye hummed, turned around and smiled: "There is a way, how can you do it?"
"Say this," Zhang Xiaojing wiped the dust from his eye sockets and pointed at the jailers outside and said: "These people are just like us, they only earn a small amount of money, and their superiors find excuses to deduct it.
It can support the family. These days, cats have cat lanes and dogs have dog lanes. Being a jailer in Jingzhao Mansion is considered a small job. But they are cautious enough that only those who are familiar with the rules can use it. What I just said
Buying medicine for a headache is a slang term agreed upon between them and the prisoners."
Li Siye suddenly had an insight. It turned out that such things as slang and jargon had existed for a long time, and he had just seen it today.
Not long after, the jailer indeed invited Mr. Wen from Wenji Incense Shop. Li Siye took a closer look and found that Mr. Wen looked to be in his forties, with an honest and steady face, but he had more wrinkles on his forehead and was wearing blue-dyed clothing.
He was wearing a round-neck robe and walked with a limp.
There was also a girl beside him, supporting the lame Wen Boss with her hands. The two had similar faces, and they looked like they were father and daughter. The girl had a very fair oval face, and the fragrance on her body was very strong, and the fragrance came to her face.
The bad smell in the prison was dispelled, making Li Siye feel that the girl became more beautiful and lovely.
He consciously did not go up to join in the fun. This was an acquaintance of Zhang Xiaojing's, not his. It would be easy to get offended if he took the liberty to go up. However, after Zhang Xiaojing and Boss Wen exchanged a few words, he reached out and waved to Li Siye: "Siye, come here."
Li Siye put his hands into his sleeves and walked to the wooden pillar obediently. Zhang Xiaojing patted him on the shoulder and introduced him: "This is Li Siye, a brother I have only known for a few days."
"Si Ye, this is Wen Wuji. We were friends with each other when we were soldiers in the Western Regions."
Li Siye bowed his hands to the other party respectfully, which made Wen Wuji panic. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Since Xiao Jing is his brother, we can be friends as equals."
Zhang Xiaojing turned his head and glanced at Li Siye, his expression reproachful, which made Li Siye very embarrassed. It seemed that saluting was a serious matter, and if he got it wrong, he would be in big trouble.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaojing skipped this section and whispered to Wen Wuji: "Li Siye has a sister who is only eight or nine years old. Her nickname is Li Meier. She lives alone at home in Xinchangfang. Go find the bad guy Zhang Lu
, ask him to take you over and take Li Meier to your home to live for a few days. After the two of us are released, we will take her back."
Wen Wuji raised his hands and faced Li Siye and said, "Siye, don't worry, I will get your sister out as soon as we leave here."
Li Siye quickly handed over his hand and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Brother Wen, for your help."
Wen Wuji smiled slightly and said it was okay. He turned around and frowned and asked Zhang Xiaojing: "What on earth did you commit? Tell me, do you need me to ask someone to walk around outside?"
Zhang Xiaojing shook his head, squinted his eyes and said calmly: "This matter is a bit strange, it's better for you to know less. However, I heard that many dignitaries and dignitaries visit your Wenji Incense Shop. Could you please inquire in a subtle way about the Prince's East Palace?
What secret news has been spread recently?"
Wen Wuji was startled. It was indeed something special and could actually involve the East Palace. He turned around warily, looked around and saw that there was no one around, nodded and kept this in mind.
Li Siye stood aside and couldn't help but look at the girl. This was the first time he had observed the women of the Tang Dynasty at close range since he came to the Tang Dynasty. He was curious, but not tempted. This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
The girl has just lost her horns and has just learned to love beauty. She wears a pony top on her head, with a copper hairpin and a walking stick on each side. She wears a white silk blouse and a cherry-colored skirt tied high to the waist.
On the chest, a ribbon is tied with a colorful knot above the chest, giving people the illusion of being young and graceful.
The jailer who had collected the money came quickly. He was afraid that the superior would find out that he had stopped his job, so he urged in a low voice: "The time is up, you two, please leave quickly. The worst is, I won't accept your favor next time."
Wen Wuji said goodbye to Zhang Xiaojing. Before leaving, his daughter Wen Ran glared at Li Siye angrily as a warning to his frivolous eyes.
Li Siye laughed dumbly, but Zhang Xiaojing next to him looked at him with a fierce look and snorted:
"Boy, you are addicted to this. This is the only seedling of our eighth regiment. If you dare to think wrong, watch your skin carefully!"
He immediately felt aggrieved. Am I that kind of person? Besides, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. How could I, Li Siye, be tempted by a young girl?
