Chapter 66: Those who can work hard (267/588)

At dusk, the setting sun shines in the bluestone alley.

The crisp sound of horse hooves sounded from the entrance of the alley. The man in white clothes held the horse and slowly stepped on the bluestone floor tiles. He would look carefully after not walking through a piece. He seemed to be recalling the past, and occasionally said something to him:

"There is a scholar here to buy paintings, why is it missing..."

The man is tall and has a pair of peach-blossom eyes. His face can still show his handsomeness when he was young. Unlike the past, his head was covered in black hair, and he had no cold female heroes in white dresses, or two lazy friends around him.

In the Sun shop, the old shopkeeper leaned against the door, looked at the end of the alley, and watched the figure from far to near. When he walked in front of him, he said hello with a smile:

"Xiao Xu, I was so energetic when I left. In a blink of an eye, I looked older than the old man, I?"

Outside the shop, Xu You, the King of Su, who had just arrived from two thousand miles away day and night, stopped in front of several large wine jars. His eyes were a little dazed. He was the same person, but he lost his past groaning of making jokes. He just sighed softly:

"You are not dead yet, I thought your son had taken over."

Yes, it still has a familiar taste.

Manager Sun laughed, put a towel on his shoulder, turned around to warm the wine, and joked: "With your current state, you may have to go ahead of me. I really didn't expect that the 'Four Viciouss of Capital' back then could turn white all your hair. If you live for a lifetime, you can encounter anything, and there is no hurdle that you can't overcome."

Xu You looked up at the old signs, then slowly walked into the wine shop, sat down at the fenced wine table, and still sat opposite the alley. This position has the best view, and can be aimed openly at the heroes of the Jianghu lined up outside. Song Ji always sat on his left hand, with his back facing several large wine jars, and didn't look at it at all. Song Yu sat on the right, and could sneak a glance when drinking.

In the blink of an eye, the wine shop has not changed anything, but it seems that nothing has been there. There is only one drinker left at the three tables, and the long queues outside are left with only the sunset alleys.

Xu You sat at the table and waited for a while, but no one passed by. He shook his head and sighed: "The shop business is much colder and tasteless."

Manager Sun held a pot of wine and sat down next to the wine table: "The wine has not changed, but people have changed. Your child now brings girls to buy wine every day, making noises, not the same as before. However, your child is more promising than you and can't even say what he bullied the girl. You were beaten for three days and one big hit for five days. One day your face came intact, then I guess he must have suffered internal injuries..."

Xu You shook his head and sighed. He felt more nostalgic for this joke. He picked up the wine bowl and looked at it:

"The shopkeeper has also changed a lot. He was so angry but could speak. Now he is not angry anymore, but his words are getting worse and worse, and he always hurts people's hearts."

Manager Sun poured himself a bowl with a smile: "People have to grow up a little. If you live at such a big age and don't have anything to live, then it will be a waste of time. What's the matter? How long will it take to stay in Chang'an this time?"

Xu You shook his head: "I guess if you can carry a coffin for the shopkeeper, maybe you can burn paper money for a few years. Of course, don't bury it too far. I'm afraid I can't get out when I come here this time."

Manager Sun picked up the wine bowl, touched Xu You, and drank it all: "That's good. People come and go for so many years, I have sent people away, but I have never seen people who sent me away."

"This is nothing. Can you sit here after seeing you?"

"hehe……"

...

Outside Qingshi Lane, on Zhuangyuan Street.

As the sound of evening drums rang out, the city was covered with curfew and there were no pedestrians on the bustling streets.

At the entrance of the alley, Xu Buling stood upright in a white robe, looking at the two figures in the wine shop.

Behind him, the royal family's staff and officials came to the court after hearing the news, standing by the street waiting.

The monarch of Chang'an City was also Song Ling, who was only nine years old in the imperial city, but everyone knew that with King Su Xu You and the 70,000 Xiliang Army following him, there was only one person left in Chang'an in the future.

Old Xiao stood in front of Xu Buling with a crutch, shook his head and said:

"Little Prince, I feel that Chang'an City is not as interesting as when we were here before. I just went to the back street and wanted to tell the story but there was no one to listen to the story. How can I continue to do this?"

Xu Buling looked at the empty street in a blink of an eye, thought for a while, raised his hand and waved.

Gongsun Ming, who had already been appointed as the King of Jingzhao, stepped forward and bowed:

"What are the instructions of the prince?"

"The curfew is lifted, it's not a big deal to keep it like this."

"promise."

Gongsun Ming nodded quickly and ran down to pass the order.

Old Xiao laughed and looked deep in the alley: "Actually, the prince really doesn't want to come to this sad place. Back then, there were friends around him, and there were beautiful couples in front of him. In a blink of an eye, he was left with only a broken old man, which ordinary people really couldn't stand."

"No one wants to come, he will die if he doesn't come."

Old Xiao sighed softly: "Yes. But it is not easy to stand firm here; when Northern Qi got news, he shouted at the border army every day that "the Xu family usurped the country and disrupted the morale of the army." The King of Wei was also talking about this, saying that he forged the will of the will and proclaimed himself emperor, and told the people of the world to rebel against the Xu family. He heard that the Central Plains was found in the chaos in Nanyue, and the King of Wei took away his troops and was also brewing in secret. The world was divided into four pieces. If you don't fight quickly, the people would have to put down their hoes and carry their knives..."

While the two were chatting, a pot of wine in the wine shop came to the bottom.

King Su Xu You, who was covered in white hair, walked out of the alley.

Many figures waiting on the long street bowed their heads:

"See Your Highness, King Su."

King Su Xu You's expression was a little better than that, and he led his horse out of the alley and raised his hand and said:

"Everyone goes back. I've been here for several years and can't be lost."

Many officials who were preparing to come to make friends did not make many polite words when they heard the sound. After bowing, they left one after another.

Xu You led the horse and walked along Zhuangyuan Street to the gate. The guards and staff followed him from afar, leaving only the father and son alone.

Xu Buling walked beside him, hesitated and spoke:

"Song Ji passed the throne to King Wei, it is difficult to stop it if he does not kill..."

Xu You didn't want to hear this very much, so he shook his head and said, "All people are dead, why are you saying that? From the day you attack me, I will no longer treat him as a brother."

Xu Buling didn't say much when he saw this.

Xu You just came to Chang'an and was not interested in the matters to be involved in the future. He just walked around the Zhuangyuan Street and talked about the past:

"...Your mother and I met outside Yingchun Tower. At that time... I just drank some wine and saw your mother riding a horse when I went out. When I saw my Yushu, I looked at it a few more..."

Xu Buling recalled it and frowned slightly:

"Well...Shopkeeper Sun doesn't seem to say that."

"Then Lao Budhi had a holiday with me. He couldn't turn the table all day, so he earned less money and always disliked me, so he couldn't believe what he said. If I was as unbearable as he said, how could your mother fall in love with me?"

"That's true."

Xu You chatted for a while until he walked out of the gate and saw the towering imperial city in the distance. Then he stopped and said softly:

"Old Sun's words are all nonsense, but there is a saying that you have to cherish the people in front of you. Otherwise, you will have to become like Song Ji, with everything around you. Even if you don't have a free time, I guess Song Ji regrets it when he is sitting alone in the wine shop."

Xu Buling chuckled slightly: "I have always cherished it, and I don't care about anything except the person in front of me."

Xu You nodded: "I can see it, too, but you have a lot of people to cherish, so you have to pay attention in the future. All your mother almost made me die of torture. If you make a fuss, it will make your scalp numb if you think about it."

Xu Buling's face was calm: "The capable one should work harder."

Smack

The many guards following behind were looking at the deep love between father and son in front of him with longing.

I never thought that King Su, who was still serious just now, heard something, raised his hand and slapped it on the back of the little prince's head...
