Chapter 12, Xichun Building
Cheng Yao was stared at by Lin Jiu at home, this can't be moved, and that can't be held. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info was not still used as a prisoner in his own home. Come back, Dad! If you don't come back, your daughter will die of depression.
Cheng Bai, who was thinking about his daughter here, took edamame and went to the bookstore again.
"There's not much money left, so you have to pick and choose! I don't know when my daughter will give me the money. Cheng Bai hugged a stack of books and sat in the cubicle, looking through them carefully.
"Mr. Cheng, how did you pick this book? Can I wrap it up for you first? The bookstore owner knocked on the door and came in, and Hei Cheng Bai added to change the tea.
The previous purchase of a large number of books made the bookstore owner regard Cheng Bai as a financier. This cubicle is the modern equivalent of a VIP room.
"Haven't picked it yet. Each book has its own essence, and it's hard to choose. I'll take a look at it again. ā
"Okay, if you need anything, you call me again, then I'll go out first, you pick slowly." The boss stepped back and closed the door to the cubicle.
Cheng Bai was a little thirsty, and was about to pick up the cup, when someone handed it over with interest. Although it was autumn, the autumn tiger was powerful, and the compartment seemed a little stuffy.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
"It's so fragrant," Cheng Bai couldn't help but sigh. When I turned my head, I saw Yun Niang holding an umbrella and standing aside.
"I'm fascinated by it, thank you Yun Niang just now." Cheng Bai hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"Where, it was Yun Niang who disturbed Mr.'s Yaxing." Yun Niang's soft possession.
"What books are you looking for?"
"No, I went out with the maid for a walk, and I happened to see my husband's scholar outside the door, so I wanted to come in and say hello."
"Oh, I see!"
Although the door was open, the two did not act excessively. However, the compartment was still too cramped. In addition, the bookstore owner and his buddies stood outside at the counter, their eyes glancing in from time to time, pointing and talking about something.
Cheng Bai frowned slightly, no matter which time and space he couldn't help but have colored eyes: "It's almost noon, and the pastries you made last time, our whole family liked them very much." I don't know if Yun Niang can appreciate her face, I invite you to have a meal and express your gratitude? ā
"You're welcome, sir! You like to eat, Yun Niang will make some and send it another day. Today, Yun Niang is respectful rather than obedient. Let the gentleman break the bank! Yun Niang's face was delighted.
"Hey, no matter how much benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith there is, it can't compare to the wine-colored wealth and power!" The bookstore owner looked at the backs of Cheng Bai and Yun Niang leaving, and couldn't help but sigh: "Little Liu, this person will come in the future, and there is no need to serve tea." ā
"Boss, although he didn't buy it today, maybe he will buy it another day?" Dude Xiaoliu was puzzled.
With such a beautiful woman by his side, where did he still think of these books. His money is to buy rouge gouache and beaded brocade. The boss said as he calculated.
"Boss, who is that woman? It's beautiful! The two walked away, and Xiao Liu couldn't stop looking outside.
"It's pretty, but it has nothing to do with you, so go and pack up the books in the cubicle." The bookstore owner knocked on Xiao Liu's head and ordered.
When it comes to eating, let edamame come up with some ideas: "A new restaurant was opened in front of me, and it is said that a chrysanthemum banquet was made, and everyone who ate it was full of praise." Why don't you try it? ā
"Yun Niang, what do you think?" Cheng Bai asked Yun Niang's opinion.
"Sounds interesting, so let's try it!" Yun Niang was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
Xichun Building, surrounded by water outside the door. Hey, why are some people stopped at the door?
"Edamame, are you going to see what's going on?" There are female dependents, and it is not good to squeeze in the crowd.
Edamame finally squeezed out of the crowd: "Today is the third day of the opening of Xichun Building, and only the dishes of the chrysanthemum banquet were sold in the first three days. ā
"What about those who can't compose poetry?" Yun Niang's maid Xiaocui asked.
"Then you won't be able to eat until tomorrow, and every time Xichun Lou launches a special banquet in the future, I will do the same. It is said that the price will more than double after three days. Maodou looked at Cheng Bai with some expectation.
"What a Xichun Building, interesting! Go and have a look. Cheng Bai made a decision, and a group of people moved towards Xichun Tower.
A man in his thirties in a brocade robe bowed his hand: "Guests, the villain is Jia Yi, the shopkeeper of Xichun Building, thank you for your love, but please act according to the rules of this building." ā
"Do you want to write this poem yourself?" Cheng Bai asked.
"There's no such rule in this building." Jia Yi was stunned one by one, it is not uncommon to ask others to compose poems on his behalf, but it is the first time to ask such a straightforward question.
Since he can compose poems on his behalf, there is no obstacle for Cheng Bai to use famous poems in history.
"The flowers do not bloom and the flowers are thick, and the independent sparse hedge is not endless.
I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could it have blown down in the north wind"
Cheng Bai pondered for a moment and read a song "Painting Chrysanthemum" by Zheng Sixiao in the Song Dynasty.
"Good poetry!" Before Jia Yi could invite the two in, Cheng Bai immediately composed another poem.
"The autumn bushes are like pottery, and the edge of the fence is becoming more and more oblique.
It's not that chrysanthemums are favored in flowers, and this flower is even more flowerless. ā
Four in a row is a wonderful verse, which stunned everyone present.
"So the four of us can go in, right?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Gaocai, please come in quickly." Jia Yi hurriedly welcomed people into the building, in fact, as long as someone at each table gave one poem, but he didn't expect this person to learn so well, and he gave four good poems in an instant.
After reading many books, Cheng Bai found that this Great Liang Dynasty was an alternate era. There was a deviation during the Sui Dynasty, which was equivalent to the Tang Dynasty over there. The history and culture of the dynasty are splendid and colorful, and it is a pity that it has been extinguished in the world.
Perhaps God let him travel because he wanted him to have a profound exchange between the cultures of two different time and space.
"This Xichun Building doesn't seem to be a big deal!" Edamame looked at the decoration of Xichun Building, which was no different from the original restaurant, but it was a different name.
"Of course it's different, it's very different, there is no white thing in Xichun Tower at this moment." Yun Niang looked at the surrounding environment and was sure that this Xichun Tower was in the same place as the Xichun Tower in the capital.
There are several large screens in the building, on which poems are carried and all literati and students watch and discuss.
"This lady is right, this gentleman, can the poem you just made be inscribed on this brocade screen for everyone to enjoy." Jia Yi looked a little complacent: "There are dozens of poems in this building, and we will select the three most outstanding poems, and each will be awarded ten taels of silver." ā
got Cheng Bai's approval, and Jia Yi ordered someone to send pen and ink.
Inscribe poems, sit down, and order food.
"Yun Niang seems to be different from that day?" Cheng Bai was a little puzzled.
Let Mr. smile, when Yun Niang was in the dust, her mother also asked someone to teach Yun Niang to read and break words. After the redemption, I was fortunate to meet my husband, and Yun Niang thought that it should be different from the past. I want to be like the woman in the market. But I never thought about it, and I was ashamed to say it. Yun Niang's face was ashamed: "It wasn't until I heard Mr.'s good words that Yun Niang woke up that Yun Niang is Yun Niang." Why paint a prison for yourself. ā
"Yes, in life, the word happiness is the most important." Cheng Bai nodded in agreement.
