Chapter 19 Uninvited guests in the snow

Chapter 19: The Uninvited Guest in Xuetian ()

It’s not interesting to make snowmen by one person. Wang Kuang was going to wait for Wang Xian to learn together. This second son is becoming more and more diligent in his study. As he grew up, he seemed to understand that there seemed to be some secret in his brother, but he was also hiding it tightly and was afraid of revealing it. Now Wang Xian also knows the status of a merchant. I think it is because of this that his brother is afraid that the secret will be discovered and robbed, so he wants to make a name for himself. In the end, there will always be a place to establish his life in the future. With an official position, unless he has a high position and a powerful person, ordinary people dare not go too far. In that case, his brother should be more at ease. He has no idea of ​​selling to the imperial family. In his opinion, his brother is the god.

In the afternoon, Wang Kuang went to the street again. Few people went out on the snowy day, so the sheep stall of Eyue was collected early. Without seeing the sheep stall of Eyue, Wang Kuang just walked around and went back to the inn. When he saw the snow pile at the entrance of the inn, he felt moved and just built a snowman at the entrance of the inn first. So he called out the waiter sitting in front of the hall because there were no guests. Sun Er has now been promoted to the supervisor, and he called out the most active call to Wang Kuang. When he heard Wang Kuang call people, he immediately jumped up and knocked out the senior high school and the others: "Go quickly and go quickly." But he took the lead.

Under Wang Kuang's command, the snowmen were quickly piled up, and even Kuang Da, who was in the kitchen, ran out when he heard the sound. He was very happy when he saw the snowmen, and his hands itched. Wang Kuang asked him to help carve it, and asked the waiters to find wood charcoal as their eyes. He inserted two ears of rice seeds on the snowmen's hand, and then used carbon foam to make five "Auspicious Snow Signs of Good Luck" on the snowmen. Not to mention, Kuang Da's carving work, who was drunk with cooking, was not bad. With the efforts of everyone, a chubby snowman with a smile stood vividly in front of the inn gate, and there was a look of snow sculptures from later generations. Occasionally, one or two pedestrians passed by and stopped in surprise to look at it carefully. Wang Kuang didn't know if anyone had built snowmen in Tang Shi, but he just wanted to build a pleasing snowman and also wanted to get a good start for everyone.

"Huh? This snow-drilled person is so beautiful." A crisp voice came over. Wang Kuang, who was admiring his work, turned his head and looked over. However, a little girl ran over quickly. The little girl seemed to be from a wealthy family. Most girls dressed almost the same as boys when they were young, and they were wearing short clothes, jackets and pants. And this girl seemed to be only eleven or eleven years old, but she was wearing a pink satin jacket.

The skirt and the skirt were tied high with green ribbons to the chest. The ribbons were also tied with a very fine bow on the chest. The upper body was wearing a moon-white jacket and a fur windbreaker. A string of silver bells hung around her neck, which made it sound very beautiful when she ran. The little girl ran very fast, which made the few followers who looked like followers hurriedly followed, protecting the little girl in the middle, while watching Wang Kuang and others vigilantly.

"Did you pile this up?" The little girl came to the snowman, looked curiously for a while, then asked Wang Kuang and the others.

Wang Kuang was surprised. The girl said something that was not Minbei dialect, but a full of northwest accent. Could it be that she came to the Central Plains? Fortunately, Wang Kuang's classmates in his class were from all over the world when he was in college. In addition to a few difficult-to-learn, there were many similarities between the big dialects and Mandarin in other places, so Wang Kuang could understand what the little girl said.

"Of course we piled up at the entrance of our inn." Everyone is now acting with Wang Kuang's eyes, and no one has learned official language and cannot understand what the little girl said, so they look at Wang Kuang. Seeing that everyone looked at him without saying a word, Wang Kuang had to come forward to answer. As a person in his thirties, answering a question from a teenage kid made Wang Kuang feel a little uncomfortable. But he forgot that in addition to being a little monster in the eyes of everyone in the inn, he is also a little brat in the eyes of ordinary people.

Wang Kuang was speaking Mandarin from later generations, and the little girl actually understood it. "It looks so good. I'll pile one when I go back." The little girl smiled. Her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon, "Go away quickly, don't let the eldest brother shovel the snow in the yard." This was said to everyone who was guarding her. After saying that, she didn't care about Wang Kuang anymore and ran away in the moonlight. However, a middle-aged man in the guard looked at Wang Kuang with a suspicious face, which made Wang Kuang look frightened. He thought it was not good, so he was targeted by someone?

Sun Er and the others looked at Wang Kuang in amazement. Sun Er admired Wang Kuang extremely: "Da Lang is really powerful and can even speak Mandarin." He couldn't hear the difference between Mandarin and Mandarin, and he couldn't understand it. He just heard that a businessman from Chang'an said that this accent was the answer.

Wang Kuang didn't explain. Now the people in the inn have already regarded Wang Kuang as a child prodigy. Haven't seen the earth-shaking changes that have happened in the inn over the past year when Wang Kuang came? Can't the child prodigy do it? What else can a child prodigy not do? If the boss hadn't told the importance of protecting Wang Kuang every day and told them about the importance of protecting Wang Kuang, they would have long been promoted by Jian'an.

It was noon at this time, and Wang Xian had already left school. Now, under the influence of Wang Kuang, everyone in the inn has changed from two meals a day to three meals. Wang Xian came to the hall and didn't see Wang Kuang eating, but saw a bunch of people outside the inn. He ran out and saw Wang Kuang being there, and everyone was watching the fun around a person made of snow, while Wang Kuang was dazed. After all, they were children and they still had fun. When Wang Xian saw the snowman, he had already forgotten the matter of eating and kept circled around the snowman: "Brother, it looks so good. I want to pile one too."

"You're keeping the snow in the yard for you. Let's have a meal first, and we'll pile it together after dinner." Wang Kuang came to his senses and patted Wang Xian's snow on his body. What if he didn't care, the soldiers came to block the water and soil, and he just spoke Mandarin. Besides, the guard wouldn't seem to have a high status, otherwise he wouldn't be a guard for a girl.

The little girl just now was just an episode. Wang Kuang thought about it and was not relieved. This little girl probably came from another place. Jian'an City is only so big, and there are not many wealthy families. I have never heard of any rich family having such a girl. Besides, there are not many people in Jian'an City who can speak Mandarin, and they are mainly Minbei dialect. Even officials in the prefectures and counties often speak Minbei dialect. In the Tang Dynasty, they did not know that they could only learn Mandarin in the country like in later generations. When local officials arrived at the local area, the first thing they had to learn was the local dialect. The worst thing they had to do was hire a local staff member who knew Mandarin, otherwise they would be unable to move forward.

There is a rare heavy snow. It only takes such heavy snow to Jian'an once or twice a year. Considering that Wang Xian was hard at school, he almost didn't go to play. In order to let Wang Xian relax, Wang Kuang took the time to ask Mr. Wang Xian for a half-day leave for Wang Xian and let Wang Xian have a good time in the afternoon. The old man also felt sorry for Wang Xian, a closed disciple, so he agreed. Since he had given Wang Xian a leave, he simply announced that his family school had closed all afternoon and all had a leave. Anyway, the two boys in front of Sun Ming were not good at studying.

Sun Jiahan and Sun Jiaying, who were having dinner at the same table as Wang Xian, were so happy that they discussed how to play the afternoon while having dinner. Seeing that they were happy, Wang Kuang gave them an idea, asking them to gather their usual playmates, find an open space where snow had not been swept away to play snowball fights, and carefully talked about the various ways of playing snow in his childhood in his later years. The two guys had their eyes lit up and they couldn't even eat food. They took a few bites and pulled Wang Xian out and jumped out.

Wang Kuang actually wanted to go out with them, but the suspicious look that flashed in front of him forced him to play with it. He still had to prepare for the future. He called the clever Sun Er over, and the old man was by his side, so he didn't dare to say loudly, so he whispered to ask him to find out where the little girl came from.

Sun Er turned his head after walking for a while, and without saying a word, he signaled Wang Kuang with his eyes. Wang Kuang looked at Sun Er's eyes, but saw that the windshield mat hanging on the inn door was being lifted by a man at this time. A literati dressed in his early thirties was holding the hand of the little girl just now. Behind him were a young man and a middle-aged man who looked like a master, and several men with guards separated from behind and were all walking in.

After signaling to Wang Kuang, Sun Er stepped forward and greeted: "How many guests want to eat? We are not afraid to say anything else about Fulai Inn. Taro loach and braised food are well-known. How many people come? On this snowy day, eating some warm wine and drinking soup can warm your body."

Seeing that the little girl came back and brought someone to him, Wang Kuang felt relieved. If he wanted to do anything unfavorable to him or the inn, the other party would not have brought the children with him. It seemed that this was a false alarm.
