Glossary
Junw.a.n.g: Prince of second rank, referred to as Junw.a.n.gyeLaozi: “I, your father” is used to refer own self in anger or contempt, or arrogantly joking."Brother Hu Qing have come? Come here quickly and drinks a cup." Xia YuJin hurriedly asked Lao Gao to bring another wine cup.
Hu Qing sniffed the fragrant smell, he tasted a piece of mutton meat, smiled and said, “Thank you for finding this small store, it taste great.”
Xia YuJin proudly said: “Of course, eating and drinking in the city for how long, but who can be better than me? Which person?”
Hu Qing reached out for a small bottle, placed it gently down the table, pulls out the cork, then poured out the wine in waves.
Xia YuJin sniffed and complimented: “As expected of the wine buried underground for eighteen years on east streets alley, without the power to force, that old stingy boss would not willing to sell to you? Your tricks are really good. “
Hu Qing stretched out his hand and said, “Agree to bet must also accepts to lose.”
"Laozi also need to depend on your bet, that won"t do?" Xia YuJin scrambled inside his pockets for half a day, pulled out a hundred check, pat into his hand, and asked, “Do you want to play dice? “
Hu Qing shook his head: “I know myself, my shaking technique is not equal to you, it"s fine not to bet.”
Taking a sip of the wine, quickly dispel the cold air.
Consuming alcohol for more than three rounds, although Xia YuJin capacity is high, but his face also starts to blush. He exhales out two white breath, pulls up his fluffy mink fur coat, his intoxicated eyes glance out of window watching the snow, remembering back the red dress figures standing straight in the snow a few days ago, his mind are distressed, cannot help to heave a sigh.
Hu Qing said: “You are drunk.”
Xia YuJin puts out a finger and shakes it, sorrowfully said: “You say, why is that person is stubborn like that?”
Hu Qing asked, “Who?”
Xia YuJin does not seem to hear him say, asking himself: “She married me there is no benefit, only because to serve the Holy one … my wedding night is so absurd. As long as she took opportunity to hit me a little, then quarrel for two years can immediately divorce. I do not think so, really do not think … “
Hu Qing said: “Her thoughts are not easy to grasp, perhaps she liked Junw.a.n.g appearance?”
“Right! That is reasonable. “ Xia YuJin pa.s.sionately nodded, and talk disorderly “Certainly my appearance is very good-looking, suited to her royal liking. “
Hu Qing emphatically nodded: “All women are not good things.”
Xia YuJin thought about one thing, raised his head and asked, “Brother, what about your tigress? Should be better than that of my family?
Hu Qing laughed bitterly: “I’m not married yet.”
Xia YuJin sat up, surprised looking at him up and down, he carelessly said: “You are even older than me by two years, though only a low-ranking officials, but is still considered as government officials, why is still single? Ah, is there any hidden disease that is difficult to say? Don’t be afraid, I know a very powerful doctor in jianghu, his potent medicine is definitely effective! Wait I’ll take you to find him later. “
“No,” Hu Qing felt ashamed hearing the drunkard, begin explaining, “The girl I like is already married.”
Xia YuJin contemptuously said: “This kind of fickle woman, no need to pay attention.”
Hu Qing shake his head: “She was married by her parents, and even married off to a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
“Sh*t! Does her parents have eyes on their a.s.s? A son-in-law as good as you do not like, then go choose a b.a.s.t.a.r.d? “ Xia YuJin in the spirit of brotherhood pat his chest said, “Do not be too sad! This brother will think of a solution for you, put a trap to her husband! Use beauties to lure, and cheat his money to go downhill, give him a heavy blow! Make the two of them divorce! Then you can marry her again!”
Hu Qing smiles faintly and said: “Let’s talk about that later, nowadays you always hide out, is not pleasant, tonight how about go home and deal with General.”
"Deal with what? Do you also looks down on me!” Xia YuJin face turned red, he shouted aggressively, "Laozi is not afraid of that tigress, go back must…… must send her away! “
Hu Qing shake his head: “Take it easy, don"t act on impulse.”
Drink until drunk, the courage is strong as well.
The bamboo curtains suddenly was pulled up by a boy about seven or eight years old, dressed in a ragged dress, his face is flushed because of running, on forehead even have a few drops of sweat, gasping for breath he shouted: "Leader! The General is coming here!”
Xia YuJin is so scared he jumps up from the brick bed, almost sober, his heart feels apprehensive.
Lao Gao woke up from drowsiness, saw him in panic, calmly supported him: “Junw.a.n.g, goes to the back and climb the wall to escape.”
“Right! Escape first then talk later! “ Xia YuJin cradled a pile of money on his body, while conveniently reward the boy and ordered: "You did well, now try to think of ways to drag her. “
“Alright!” He obeyed, wiping his nose, joyfully turned and runs out.
Xia YuJin puts on overcoat cloak, held the hand warmer, rushed to the back of the shop. Using both of his hands and legs to jump on the wall, but because of the heart"s in panic and the clothes are heavy, his hands and feet are rigid from cold, repeated several times but still cannot climbs up.
Lao Gao quickly pulled out a table for him.
Hu Qing just shakes his head and pointed at the door, laughing: “If I were you, I would run out through the door.”
“What nonsense! Think I"m that stupid?" Xia YuJin turned his head and ridicule.
Hu Qing shake his head, sighed, then lifted the wine cup, took a sip and leisurely walked away.
Xia YuJin quickly jumped off the wall, suddenly he felt an intense oppressive pressure coming up.
He slowly raised his head.
The sunlight was trying to penetrate through the thick clouds, a black cloak flutters in the cold wind, the snow fell on the shallow shadow.
On Ye Zhao’s hair are covered with a fine snowflakes, her arms are folded in, naturally standing at the corner of streets, her eyes are slightly closed, she softly exhales each white breath, she seems to have waited there for a while.
Holy Sh*t! How did she know he was going to climb the wall? !
Xia Yujin, without thinking, turned his head and tried to escape in the opposite direction. Only taking a first step, Ye Zhao opened her eyes and slowly said: “Three years ago my qinggong have achieved state of perfection.”
A very simple sentence, completely cut off the way out.
Xia YuJin pulled back his feet in despair, and swallowed the saliva.
Ye Zhao put down both hands, and walk towards him.
Xia YuJin subconsciously wants to retreat back, but suddenly found his frantic expression seems outrageous, he would rather be beaten but resolutely must not lose his face, he straighten up the body and asked: “What are you trying to do? “ He wanted to pretend to be arrogant, but his voice is somewhat lacking.
Ye Zhao did not mind, she walked three paces away from him, she hesitated and stop, she said softly, “Go back home.”
Xia YuJin harden the neck: “Do not want to go back.”
Ye Zhao did not hurry and said: “Mother told me to find you, she was worried for you.”
“Ha —“ Xia YuJin cannot help laughing out loud, “She told you to find, then you obediently come here?”
Ye Zhao nodded: “Yes.”
Xia YuJin again asked: “If she did not tell you to find, then you will not search me forever?”
Ye Zhao tightened her hand, hesitated for a moment and nodded again: “Yes.”
This means, she was not worried herself?
The wife is concerned for himself, self-esteem is hurt.
The wife completely ignored himself, self-esteem also slightly uncomfortable.
Xia YuJin felt strange in the heart.
He quickly throw away all that strange feeling out of his head, looking at the knuckles on Ye Zhao’s fearsome fists, knowing in his heart is hard to escape, have to temporarily admit defeat, gloomily asked: "Where is the sedan chair? “
“Need that things for what?” Ye Zhao was a little shocked.
Xia YuJin is angry almost spits out the blood: “Such heavy snow! The road is so slippery! The house is far away! How will you let me go home? ! “
"It is just five streets away." Ye Zhao completely didn"t expect there is such man even a few steps are afraid, can"t help from sizing him up and down again.
“Even if you very abnormal, do not think other people is going to be abnormal like you!” Xia YuJin feels deeply the other person’s contempt, once again his heart on fire, “Laozi do not like to walk, that won"t do? Go find a sedan chair! “
“I will not take my eyes off you.” Ye Zhao whistled a sharp tune.
In a moment, a fine horse white as the snow, each steps march beautifully, comes over there.
“Go up.” She pulled the reins, adjusting the saddle.
“Hold on! You want me to ride the horse, and you walk below? “
“Well, anyway, I am very abnormal.”
Two people, one horse.
If the General ride the horse, and Junw.a.n.g followed behind, extremely unsightly.
If the men ride the horse, while the wife followed behind, extremely humiliating.
Both people riding together, is so frightening the lightning thunder will strike down.
Xia YuJin once again fall into major contradiction.
He stood still, beaten to death also will not consent to move.
