Chapter 231 Chapter 230 A taste of incense is as deep as the sea

She shook her head: "Where do I know what it's called, don't sell it, otherwise my curiosity really comes up, and I will have to pester you to ask for the bottom for a while!" ”

He laughed: "Okay! Then I'll take the initiative to uncover the mystery. The shop is called 'Yipinxiang'www.biquge.info which not only means to come here for a wonderful sweet morning tea, but also has the implication that anyone who comes here can do a great job. ”

"Haha!" She laughed: "Tang Shao! When I first met you, I thought you had an extraordinary bearing and looked like an official. Now it seems that this is really the case, just now in the Xijing Hotel deliberately to hide people's eyes, and now bring me to this 'a taste of fragrance', in my heart, I think your official fortune must be unlimited! ”

Unexpectedly, he didn't admit it, but shook his head like her: "Definitely!" Definitely! There is a very good story in this, as you said, it has something to do with being an official, and it has nothing to do with it. ”

"Oh? There's a story in there? There was a light in her eyes: "Then I want to hear it!" ”

He smiled and said the reason: "According to legend, in the late Qing Dynasty, a man went to Beijing to take the exam, because he was poor, he had no more entanglement, and when he passed through Xijing, he had a morning tea in this shop, but he had no money to give. As a result, the runaway quit, and while squeezing him, he was ready to find someone to beat him up. When he was down, a woman who sang next to him paid the bill for him. ”

When she heard this, she smiled and quietly interjected: "I really didn't expect that this turned out to be the beginning of a love story." ”

"That's right!" He responded with a smile and continued: "Juzi did not insult Sven in public, and I am very grateful to this woman who sings. The woman who sang was also quite attractive, and after a few days of getting along, the two made a private decision for life and became a good friend of Qin and Jin. Before leaving, the two also left a token. Not long after, after this lifter arrived in the capital, he really went to high school. The third place in the first subject, Tanhualang, was left in the Hanlin Academy at that time. ”

Seeing that she had been listening attentively, he paused, pulled her into the store, found a seat by the window and sat down, and continued: "After high school, the emperor sent him back to his hometown to praise officials, and when he passed through Xijing, it was very different from when he went in the first month. The attitude of the owner of this shop also came to a 180-degree turn, and it was immediately different, and he bought a lot of good wine and good food for passers-by to taste for free, and played the signboard that the store was a place where Tanhualang stopped for the exam. ”

She raised her eyebrows, as if she had some feelings about the cold state of the world in ancient times, and heard him say: "But I didn't expect that this Tanhualang had some grudges, and he didn't give the shopkeeper and the running hall any face, but just walked around here coldly, didn't even eat a mouthful of food, didn't drink a sip of wine, and began to look for the figure of the singing woman." ”

Hearing this, she seemed to be fully engaged, and interjected and asked, "Did you find it?" ”

He smiled and shook his head: "I don't know why, this singing woman has never appeared, and I can't ask the people around her where she is." Helplessly, this Tanhua Lang Xijing stayed for a long time, holding a token in his hand, living next to him and waiting bitterly, but there was no news. In the end, he could only return to his hometown first, and sent one of his subordinates to die here. But after waiting for a long, long time, until he came back, there was no news of this woman. ”

There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, as if she was the woman who sang with affection and righteousness.

He said again: "There is no way, this Tanhualang can only go to the capital to take up his post in the end." I didn't expect to be an official this time, and I went all the way, and I did a lot of work, and finally I became the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the official worshiped the right product, and led the soldiers and horses of the world. However, what is even more unexpected is that. His marshal of soldiers and horses is in the midst of the turmoil of the imperial court. The Eight-Nation Coalition captured China, the great powers bullied him arbitrarily, he led the army to resist but was defeated again and again, and what is unbearable is that the infamy of the whole country is pointed at him! ”

She wanted to interject when she heard this, but she couldn't help it, and only listened to him continue: "When he was helpless, he could only support and barely maintain, but he never got everyone's approval. One day passing by Xijing, he was disheartened, changed into casual clothes and quietly sat in this store. But he didn't expect that by such a coincidence, he would meet this singing girl again! ”

"Really?" There was a light in her eyes, like seeing the sun through the clouds.

He nodded, "Yes!" It's just that at this time, the two are no longer young, and they are not in the mood to talk about marriage anymore. However, the girl saw his thoughts and chuckled at him, do you still have the token I gave you back then? Tanhualang nodded again and again, with it, with it all the time. The two of them put the token on the table together, and it turned out to be a piece of silver that had been broken in half, and now it was put together like two words for 'mouth'. The girl smiled at this time, I have a mouth, you have a mouth, now you can't eat that bowl of rice, I can still eat, so why don't you go with me! ”

Lu Xiaoman's eyes were already filled with tears, obviously deeply moved by this story.

Unexpectedly, the story he continued to tell came to a big turn: "After saying this sentence, the woman combined the tokens into one and formed a 'mouth' character." This tanhualang immediately burst into tears, deeply moved, and decided to resign from his official position and accompany the woman until old age. But unexpectedly, this woman said again, others don't understand you, but I understand you very well, it is not easy to support the country in danger so hard. If you really quit and form this bite with me, have you ever thought about whether the thousands of mouths in this country will not even be able to eat? ”

In Lu Xiaoman's eyes, a tear had already fallen: "Ah! I never expected that this singing woman would be so aware of righteousness! ”

He nodded again and again: "After hearing this, the minister of Yipin was very moved, so he put away the tokens and went to the capital again to take up his post, and I will see you later." Unexpectedly, he died of illness in office not long after, which can be regarded as loyal to the country. Later, people called this shop 'Yipinxiang'. ”

She just wanted to speak, but he continued: "However, there is another way of saying that this minister did not die of illness in office, but quietly returned to Xijing after the state affairs were hopeless, and stayed with this affectionate and righteous woman until old age. Because of the long time, the token that was broken by hand at that time was later broken into two sections, that is, it was no longer a 'Lu', but became a 'product', which means that they later had children. Later, they passed it down from generation to generation, and then let the children go into battle to kill the enemy and drive away the foreign insults, and people called the shop 'Yipinxiang' to commemorate the event."

She smiled and said, "Mmmm! Or is this later another statement more moving and more believable! ”

"Hahaha!" At this time, he had already opened the menu of morning tea: "No matter which one it is, it is a very moving legend, which also shows that I am not an official fan, right?" ”

When he said this, he asked the waiter who had been standing on the side.

The waiter kept nodding, and she could hear that she was asking herself, so she also smiled and nodded: "That's really the case!" Listening to you tell you this story today, it's really insightful! ”

The waiter also chimed in at this time: "Indeed! This gentleman knows the allusions of our store better than we do, almost comparable to our store manager! ”

He smiled and said in a slightly Xijing accent: "This little brother, don't praise me, I specially brought this beauty to you today, but before I came, I praised Haikou, and praised your 'Yipinxiang' into a flower, and you will have to serve with all your strength in a while, and show your characteristics!" Also, don't underestimate this beauty, she is also the store manager! ”

"Where! Where! Lu Xiaoman's face was already smiling, revealing infinite joy.

He just smiled, and as he said this, he suddenly realized something, and stared straight into her eyes.

She was stunned, obviously feeling that he was looking at her so directly that she had another meaning, but she didn't know what he meant. But at this moment, seeing that he smiled and repeated: "Store manager! ”

She hurriedly straightened her expression: "Tang Shao! What do you think of? ”

He laughed, beckoned to the waiter, took out a business card and handed it over: "Quick!" Call your manager and call another waiter to order! ”

This waiter was quite clever, and when he saw that his business card said the Municipal Party Committee Office, he hurriedly agreed: "Yes!" You two sit down for a while, the store manager is upstairs, I'll call it! ”

He calmly met her gaze, smiled at her, took out the phone and dialed a number, which made her very foggy.

Soon, the phone was answered. I only heard him greet with a smile: "Ah cake! Where? ”

She knew that this cake was the "Ghost Foot Seven" who negotiated a merger and acquisition business with him in Beijing. It's just why did he call Ah Pi at this time, and what did he want to do?

But just between three or two sentences, he quickly clarified his intentions: "Okay! It's good to be in Xijing! There's an urgent matter for you! Don't report to Mr. Luo first! Yes, you go to the warehouse now, take a small jar of the red sample of our daughter who we brought back from Beijing last time, and come to 'Yipinxiang'! Give you ten minutes, are you there? ”

Ah Cake promised on the other side of the phone: "It's here!" Mr. Luo has already confessed, I have been staring at my daughter's red site selection during this time, I am now next to the warehouse, and I can go to Yipinxiang to find you with a sample! ”

"That's good!" He put the phone down and looked at her with a grin.

Only then did she understand that he wanted to make a connection between himself, the store manager, and the store manager of "Yipinxiang".

So talented!

She looked at him fixedly, already smiling like a flower: "Tang Shao! You've got a lot of brains, how do you think you came up with them? ”
