Chapter Fifty-Six: Flowers Bloom in the City
As Mrs. Chen expected, at noon, we were already standing under the gate of the city.
It's different from the emerging Tongzhou, but it has a bit of a Yingzhou feeling.
Xiao Chuan took out the letter written by Mrs. Chen and said, "Chen Erniang is the proprietress of a wine shop, we just need to ask along the street and maybe we can find it." ”
"Wine can be bought and sold privately here?"
"The wine is approved by the government, and a pass from the government is required. ”
"It seems that this Chen Erniang is really not a simple person. ”
"Sister, you're not a simple person, I'm looking forward to whether Chen Erniang and my sister will hit it off at first sight!" Xiao Chuan said with a smile.
"Oh, hopefully, more friends, more roads. But thinking about it, there are really a lot of people I know along the way. ”
"And they're all unusual people. Sister, you have the ability to attract big shots. Xiao Chuan grabbed my arm.
"It seems that our Xiao Chuan will definitely become big shots in the future. I laughed.
Xiao Chuan pursed his lips, "Actually, I don't envy them at all, and I don't want to be a big person, I just need to follow my sister." ”
After hearing this, I just smiled, pointed to the rows of plum trees on the side of the road, and said, "The plum blossoms are blooming." ”
Xiao Chuan also shifted his attention to plum blossoms, "There are two flower god festivals in the original Ning Kingdom, one in the spring, to worship the god of flowers, and one in winter, to worship the plum god of flowers. Although I have never been to Ningguo, I have heard some old people in the palace say that the grand ceremony of worshiping the plum blossom god is comparable to our Ceres Festival. ”
We walked all the way, enjoying the scenery all the way, the sound of hawking on the side of the road was continuous, and the children walked through the streets and alleys in the middle of the crowd.
"Sister, you see, there's a liquor store. ”
Following the direction of Xiao Chuan's finger, I saw a place called the Forgotten Worry Museum. This name is really good, just ask who in the world is carefree, and who doesn't want to get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.
Stepping into the door of the Forget Worry Pavilion, a small servant came to greet him, "The two young ladies are still staying in the hotel?"
This little guy's words made me curious, "Isn't this a wine store? Why do you only ask me if I am a tip or a hotel?"
The little guy smiled, "This is the rule of our store, if a woman comes, don't ask about wine, don't sell alcohol." ”
"But what if I prefer to buy wine?"
At this time, the proprietress who had been standing behind the counter came over and said to the little girl, "I'll come." ”
My attention shifted to the proprietress, she was not as heavy as the proprietress of the wine shop in the TV series, she was bewitching and colorful, but had a kind of fortitude, which was very similar to Mrs. Chen.
She smiled at us and invited us to sit in, "I don't think you're here to buy wine." ”
"Why not?" I was curious.
"The girl's face is carefree and joyless, how can she drink?"
I couldn't help but admire her observation a little, "You're right, I'm here to find someone." ”
"Oh?"
"It's a person named Chen Erniang, who is also the proprietress of the wine shop. ”
The proprietress smiled: "Although the city is big, there is only one wine shop. ”
My guess was really good, and I laughed, "Disrespectful." ”
"I wonder why the two girls are looking for me?"
I took Mrs. Chen's letter from Xiao Chuan's hand and said, "This is what Mrs. Chen asked me to bring to you." ”
Chen Erniang took the letter, read it again, and said with a smile: "Very good, my wine shop is just short of manpower, so you two will stay." ”
We were overjoyed, and Chuan asked, "I wonder what we can do if we stay?"
"The Forget Worry Pavilion is not only wine, but also tea, you two will follow Mr. Su and become a tea doctor." Chen Erniang received Mrs. Chen's letter, "Follow me." ”
She led us to an elegant door on the second floor, with a sign hanging next to the door, Chen Erniang knocked on the door, "Mr. Su, it's me." ”
I only heard the voice of a woman inside, "Please come in." ”
We walked into the Qingwu Pavilion, and a smell of tea came to our faces.
Chen Erniang told us to stop, turned around and walked to Neifu, only to hear her say: "Mr. Su, I have two friends who are helpless and want to make a living here, and I hope that Mr. Su will teach some tea skills." ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to last a few days, I'm really ashamed to have delayed the business of the Forget Worry Pavilion for these months, so bring it to me. ”
"Mr. Su, don't say such things, there is a way to cure the disease. ”
The inner eunuch was silent, and Chen Erniang walked out and said to us, "Come on." ”
We walked lightly into the inner house, only to see wisps of green smoke rising from the large incense burner placed in the middle of the room, and a graceful figure faintly in the light gauze curtain not far away......
