CHAPTER IX
There are two peaks three hundred miles southwest of Gaoqu, namely Huadao Mountain and Tianxing Mountain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The mountain is high and cold, and it is located in the north, so the mountain is covered with snow all year round. Originally, the snow water on the mountain did not have a chance to melt, but the creation is magical, Huadao, Tianxing two mountains are extinct volcanoes, 100 years ago Huadao Mountain suddenly erupted, after the volcanic lava cooled, there are many hot springs and heat sources on Huadao Mountain. The ice and snow melt into water and flow down the mountain stream to the valley between the two mountains, forming a clear and vast lake called Mei'er Lake for many days. Even in the cold winter, the lake water is cold but not frozen, especially suitable for winter supplementation. The snow water is pure and sweet, the fish raised in the snow water are even more delicious, and the fish under Mei'er Lake are also tight and transparent.
On that day, Sun Heqi, the youngest prince of Chen Guosiwen and Sun Xiyuan, got a snow-white ice fish in the Strange Goods Garden, and he was overjoyed and wanted to return to Gaoqu to show off. Only then did he get out of the Wonder Goods Park and met Chen Xiu who was galloping on a fast horse. Sun Heqi saw that Chen Xiu happened to come over and wanted to stop him.
I never thought that Chen Xiu was in a hurry, so I didn't look at it at all. He hurried to see Lu Jin, and coldly saw a team of people pulling the big water tank in front of him. The road is wide, even if you have a car side by side, you can pass it. Chen Xiu didn't care, the horse didn't stop, and when the horse was about to pass, the horse suddenly stumbled and knocked over the water tank.
That Sun Heqi saw Chen Xiu knock over the water tank, his eyes widened and he cursed, and he was distressed that people hurriedly picked up the fish, thinking that he would put it back in the pool of the Wonder Park first, but don't let it lose water.
The horse knocked over the water tank, Chen Xiu was also thrown out, and he sprinkled the water, and a big white fish fluttered and fluttered on him. Fortunately, the fox fur he was wearing outside stopped the water, so he didn't get soaked, otherwise how could he stand this freezing day. Chen Xiu was in a daze, but he saw that the horse was running here like crazy again, and saw that its front hooves were about to step on Chen Xiu. Chen Xiu secretly said that this horse had never seen such a big temper on weekdays, so he threw the white fish in his arms and hurriedly turned over and dodged. Chen Xiu dodged, and the horse's front hooves were impartially in the belly of the big white fish, and this hoof trampled the belly of the white fish!
Sun Heqi saw the horse running towards Chen Xiu, he was happy, and when he saw that the white fish was still in Chen Xiu's arms, his heart was in his throat at that time, and he hurriedly called someone to stop the horse. As a result, before the man could go up, the fish was already dead. Sun Heqi was distressed, ran over and grabbed Chen Xiu, and scolded, "You crazy horse trampled on my White Dragon King, how can you accompany me." ”
Chen Xiu's thrilling scene, seeing that the horse finally quieted down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Sun Heqi pounced again. He had something on his mind, and he didn't want to waste time here, so he said, "It's just a fat and big fish, when did you become so stingy." You wait for me for a few days, and I'll send you the money when I get back. ”
Sun Heqi has already let out his words in front of a group of sons, and if he goes back like this, he will inevitably be laughed at by those people, how can he be willing, "My white fish cost fifty taels of gold, you can bring the money now." ”
Where did Chen Xiu have so much silver, he just thought that Sun Heqi was slandering him, and he was furious at the moment, "You fish don't know what kind of demons and monsters you are, which frightened my horse and caused me to fall on my head." I haven't settled this account with you yet, and you're going to lied to me! ”
Sun Heqi saw that Chen Xiu was unwilling to lose money, so he stopped him at the moment.
Chen Xiu said, "You see that this fish has just been trampled into a meat puree, and the fish ball soup that you just got when you rush back now will not be fresh." It's going to die sooner or later, and I haven't seen anyone eat a live fish until now. ”
The two of you come and go, and no one will let anyone, and in the end, Sun Heqi only said that he would take Chen Xiu to find Chen Wang for comment. This frightened Chen Xiu. He is avoiding King Chen, how dare he go back? His eyes slipped and he wanted to take the opportunity to grab the horse, and he wanted to run, but he was pulled.
was in the middle of the noise, but heard a human, "I will pay for this fish!" ”
The two of them fell silent when they heard this, and looked at the man in unison. The man was about twenty-seven or eighteen in size, and he was a gentle man, wearing a blue robe and a white snow wolf robe.
It is the owner of the Wonder Goods Garden. Sun Heqi clasped his fists and saluted, "The owner of the garden came just in time, you said that the White Dragon King was bought by you for fifty taels of gold?" Now that his horse is trampled on broken, I asked him to compensate me for the original price, can he still be blackmailed? ”
Chen Xiu sneered, "But what kind of white dragon king is a rotten fish?" Look at me that day, I really got a dragon king! ”
The owner of the garden smiled, "Who is this?" ”
"Chen Xiu."
When the owner heard this, he slowly gave a salute and said, "It turned out to be the son of Chen Guo, who is polite." ”
Chen Xiu's eyes looked around with a thief, and he said perfunctorily, 'Reasonable and polite'. The owner of the garden also came out, and now he couldn't escape at all, and he thought that he was in big trouble anyway, and he was not afraid of one more thing. It's a big deal to hide in the Queen Mother for the rest of your life and not come out.
Sun Heqi glanced at Chen Xiu, "Heh! The owner of the garden doesn't have to care what kind of son he is, and King Chen will not favor him. ”
The owner of the garden smiled slowly, "It is not uncommon to have a five-pound fish in this world, but the rare thing is that this fish is snow-white." No matter how rare it is, it's just a fish, and Chen Xiugongzi's account will be counted on me. ”
Sun Heqi said, "The Sun family won't be unable to take out dozens of taels of gold!" After all, he Chen Xiu killed my white fish and refused to pay the money, so he had to talk about it in front of King Chen in advance. ”
"This white fish died before it left the range of my strange goods garden, this is my fault, and I should return the money. There is also a golden carp in my garden, and if you like it, I will give it to you. Then he said to a little boy behind him, "Take fifty taels of gold." He said to Sun Heqi again, "Are you still satisfied with this treatment?" ”
You don't have to go back to Gaoqu for this? Chen Xiu hurriedly said, "Alas! Thank you for the emergency! When I return to Gaoqu, I will definitely have someone send the money. ”
After a while, the little boy came over with the gold in his hand. The owner of the garden said, "The golden-tailed carp in the back garden will be sent to the secretary's mansion the next day." ”
Sun Heqi glanced at Xiao Tong and said coldly, "Since the owner of the garden said so, I will let him go today." ”
When Chen Xiu saw that the owner of the garden had relieved him, he wanted to thank him. The owner of the garden smiled, "It's fate to meet today, dare to invite the son to have a cup of tea, I hope the son can agree." ”
Although Chen Xiu was going to find Lu Jin, his coat was wet and it was really cold, so he wanted to find a place to change, so he didn't refuse.
When he arrived at the main gate, Chen Xiu smiled and said in his heart, "The garden is so magnificent, but there is not even a door plaque." "I was feeling strange, and when I stepped in and turned around, I saw a gold plaque on it, rich is rich, but it is too tacky. Chen Xiu smiled secretly in his heart, this gardener's family has a big business, and he is indeed a stingy person, and a gold plaque must be hung inside, for fear of being stolen. Then inward, only to see the carved gallery painting small buildings are staggered, the roadside is red coral, and there are snow lotus flowers in the water. Those white plums are also amazing, the plum petals are whiter than the snow, it can be said that 'the plum has won the snow three points white, and there is a fragrance of the flower soul'. Most of these things are rare and superb in the world, and there are so many treasures that money can't exchange. Gold and silver are just the most common mundane things, and this comparison makes the plaque on the door even more tacky.
Along the way, Chen Xiu was amazed again and again. After taking a bath and changing his clothes, a child led him to a small building. I saw that there was no word on the left and right couplets of the small building, only the three big characters of 'Dafeng Building' written in strong grass on the horizontal plaque. There seems to be a dragon hidden in the brushstrokes, and the momentum of wanting to break through the sky is amazing, and Chen Xiu also secretly applauded. When I entered the small building, I thought I could see something strange here, but I didn't want it to be extremely simple.
Chen Xiu pushed open the door.
There is a portrait of an old man hanging on the back wall of the front hall, a group of pus in front of the portrait, there is a yellow wood bookcase on the left side of the window, and a simple incense burner on the case, only look at its smoke, but there is no fragrance. On the right was a square table, and the owner of the garden was kneeling and making tea.
Chen Xiu walked over, but saw that the owner of the garden had set up eight tea bowls, and the tea leaves were floating on the water at most eight or nine pieces. Chen Xiu looked strange and said, "You still have guests?" ”
Chen Xiuxin said that he should have used boiling water to brew tea directly, but saw that the owner of the garden poured all the tea in the tea bowl into the cooking utensils on the side. After boiling three rolls of water, the owner poured out five cups of tea and said with a smile, "Please." ”
Chen Xiule was happy, and said in his heart that he said that he was inviting tea, but he really was drinking tea. Seeing that this tea is ordinary tea, and the water is also ordinary water, there is nothing unusual, I don't know what kind of fame he wants to make this trick. Chen Xiu picked up a cup and tasted it, but he couldn't taste anything special, and said casually, "Good tea." ”
Looking at the gardener, the owner didn't mean to speak. Chen Xiu thought to himself that he would help me like this, and he was so polite, and now he invited me to drink tea but didn't speak. Think about it again. The so-called dedication to nothing, either treachery or theft, must be something to ask for? Chen Xiu didn't like it in his heart, but he couldn't refuse it for a while after receiving his favor. I thought that if it was a trivial matter, it would be okay to agree, and besides, I had no money and no power, except for the useless identity of the son, there was really nothing else worth coveting.
