Chapter 10 Wine shop gossip
Hengxian County is the nearest town to Shenshan, and it is also regarded as a traffic fortress, there are official roads, and the waterways can also lead to the north and south, and most of the people who come and go are traders and pawns.
At this time, the autumn is high and crisp, and at noon, the sun is in full bloom. On the streets, vendors put away their stalls and prepared to go home for dinner. The original crowd gradually dispersed, and the noisy streets became much quieter.
Although the city is not prosperous, it is also lively. Because it was lunchtime, at this time, the wine shop in the city was full of people coming and going. Where there are people, gossip is naturally indispensable.
"Alas!" The man sitting by the window was dressed up, pouted his mustache, smashed a sip of wine, and sighed to the two opposite: "Recently, this Heng County is not peaceful!" ”
"Why did you say that, dude? I haven't seen anything uneasy happen! "Sitting at the very back was a fat man, with a fat face, but a puzzled face.
"Brother, it's not me talking about you, you also have a little heart, look at the officers and soldiers on the street! There are more and more people patrolling these days! The man by the window motioned for the fat man to look out the window.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and really felt that there were a lot more people holding halberd swords on the street, and the fat man touched the back of his head and laughed: "Brother, it's really!" ”
"Hey!" The man sitting in the innermost part also looked at him, and said with a smile: "You think too much, our Heng County is very peaceful!" ”
The man by the window was stunned for a moment, knowing that the innermost man had a doorway, so he asked, "Brother Li said this, but do you know the reason?" ”
The man known as Brother Li smiled "hehe", signaled the two to get closer, and then whispered: "I heard that there are big people in Heng County who are coming, so they will be so vigilant!" ”
The other two were about to ask again when they heard the neighing of horses in the street. The three of them were startled, and they all looked out of the window.
But I saw a team of dozens of horsemen, surrounded by three carriages, parked at the door of the wine shop. A man in extraordinary clothes got out of the carriage in front, wearing a crown of jade on his head and a jade jue on his waist, Rao is face was a little pale, but he still couldn't hide his nobility. As soon as the man got out of the carriage, a strong man stepped forward and followed him, as if he were about to leave an inch.
The three people looking down from the window were shocked, this person is probably not small! Looking down, the man had already walked in front of the man, first bowed, and then, without knowing what he had said, the man entered the wine shop with the noble man.
"Little Er!" The big man was burly, sturdy, and his voice was like thunder, and the volume was really not small.
Xiao Er was startled by this voice, came out from behind, and when he saw this big man, his legs and feet were a little weak.
"The best private room, the best food and drink!" The big man's voice attracted the rest of the people in the liquor store, but they didn't notice it.
Xiao Er saw that these people were in an extraordinary posture, and he was a little trembling, and replied: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the private rooms are full now......"
At this time, it was the time of the meal, and most of the people in the city were foreign merchants, and they basically ate in this wine shop. In addition, this wine shop tastes good and is naturally full.
The big man was not unreasonable, he glanced back at the noble man, saw him nod slightly, and asked again with some displeasure: "Is there an ordinary dinner table then?" ”
"Guest officer, I'm really sorry, this is the time when there are the most guests......" At this time, the shopkeeper came out from behind, and when he saw Xiao Er cowering, he smiled and said. Seeing that this group of people were dressed in extraordinary clothes and rolled their eyes, the shrewdness of the merchant came out: "Or, all the guest officers, wait a minute?" ”
This time, there was already a faint anger on the face of the big man, just such a big town, a big wine shop, couldn't even find a place to eat! Besides, when a group of them eat, they always want something and something, and when have they waited for the restaurant? Just as he was about to say something more, he was dragged by the man behind him.
I only heard the man's face speak flatly, and his voice was as clear as a spring: "In this case, why don't we wait?" Then he turned around, apologized, and said to the man who entered the store with him: "I just don't know Mr. He's ......."
The man's words won the favor of everyone in the hall, who felt that although this man was noble, he did not deceive the civilians, but it seemed that the shopkeeper was snobbish.
"It's okay, He is used to being idle, and he doesn't care about this!" The voice is faint, but a little dusty. The eyes of everyone in the wine shop fell on this man, but they saw that this man was long and jade, dressed in green clothes, and looked chic and uninhibited. This person is not the well-dressed He Jiao, who else can it be?!
It turned out that this group of people was Liu Qi, Qin Jin and others who were chased by the killer before. Starting from Dakefeng in the early morning, although the killer was encountered on the road and the time was delayed, he also arrived at Heng County, the nearest to Dakefeng, at noon.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he saw that everyone looked at him differently, and he was a little sneering: "Ladies and gentlemen, my wine shop still has good guest rooms." In my opinion, it is better for everyone to go to the guest room to rest for a while. As soon as there is a vacancy, I will send someone to invite me. I must have the best wine and food, and I only charge you half the price, so is it good for my son? ”
When Qin Jin, a big man, heard the conversation between Liu Qi and He Jiao, he was depressed and felt aggrieved, but seeing that his master didn't say anything, he had no choice but to endure it, turned around and followed Xiao Er upstairs.
Liu Qi sighed, knowing Qin Jin's temperament, he didn't care, he looked at He Jiao apologetically, and saw that the latter really didn't care, so he followed.
The three people by the window witnessed such a scene, and they were all relieved. They have traveled from south to north, and they have also seen some of the world, and they know that today's sons and daughters are not as reasonable as this. Because of this, they also sweated the shopkeeper, for fear that there would be entanglements. Fortunately, the noble boy who was the leader didn't care, and the three of them didn't feel a little more respect.
"I've almost eaten here, what about you?" The mustachioed man by the window spoke.
The two people on the opposite side both understood, knowing that he was thinking of giving way to others, and they all knew that they were almost done, so they got up together, settled the account and left.
In the room at this time, He Jiao and Liu Qi were drinking tea, chatting happily. Qin Jin sat down and stood up again, and walked around the room twice from time to time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "I said my master, can you swallow this breath?" ”
"What is there that you can't swallow? Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, and we are no more special than them. What's more, why wait for us to come, first come, first come? Liu Qi looked at Qin Jin with a smile.
Qin Jin only felt that he was obviously reasonable, but he was also unreasonable at this time. Why haven't you seen each other for a few months, and your master has become more and more kind?
While he was talking, he heard a knock on the door, and he heard the shopkeeper say that there was a vacancy. The three of them got up, went out of the room, and had a meal. I don't know if they were hungry or what, but the three of them only felt that the food in this wine shop was delicious, and they ate a few more bowls before they knew it.
It's just pitiful, Li Xing, who has been staying in the wooden box, is already hungry and panicked at this time, and his stomach is growling. In modern times, not to mention any big fish and meat, but it is also worry-free, meat and vegetarian matching, and now it is ancient times, but it is still hungry, it is depressed!
