Chapter 24, do what you like

"I've been waiting." Jiu Li Qiantaro carried the herbs wrapped in yellow paper and turned around and came to the front of Murong Xiaoyan and Chu Haoge.

At this time, Murong Xiaoyan was still stunned at Chu Haoge, obviously not reacting from the shock just now, Chu Haoge on the seat had just taken a sip of tea, and saw Jiuli Qiantaro finish buying herbs, so he put down the teacup and got up to greet him.

Murong Xiaoyan saw Chu Haoge standing up, so he reacted, and hurriedly put down the tea he wanted to drink, stood up, and said, "I didn't wait for a long time, I didn't wait for a long time." ”

Jiu Li Qianyu nodded, pointed to the yellow paper bag in his hand and said, "These herbs can be used to prepare some simple medicines such as Jinchuang medicine and antidote, Jiangling is far away, and it should be used." ”

"Hmm......" Chu Haoge nodded, a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, I heard that short old man is addicted to alcohol, so we will go buy some good wine and send it to him later." ”

The three of them went out of the pharmacy, looking for taverns and the like, the ancient times are not like modern times, there is no so-called brand-name wine, and there is no wine from large factories, generally the taverns are some home-brewed, but many taverns will have a large demand for wine, so the time for wine brewing will be relatively short, and even some brewing will be taken out for a year and a half, so naturally it is not a good wine.

The three of them walked for a long time, and the tired Chu Haoge was a little dizzy, muttering: "Well, I didn't expect to be tired like this in the city." Looking at Murong Xiaoyan next to her, she was very relaxed, Chu Haoge glanced back at the stars behind him, and couldn't help but sigh again, saying in his heart that he was really a living father.

Chu Haoge and the three of them walked into a tavern, and as soon as they entered the door, a guy led him to the counter, and the three of Chu Haoge walked all the way from the door to the counter, and they felt that countless pairs of eyes were staring straight at Jiuli Qiantaro and Murong Xiaoyan, and they were confused, and their eyes were full of naked obscenity.

Just a few steps made Murong Xiaoyan get goosebumps, and leaned towards Chu Haoge very strangely, and his body shrank subconsciously, Chu Haoge turned around and saw her like this, and quietly pulled her arm, making her feel more at ease.

Jiu Li Qiantaro was beside Chu Haoge as if she didn't feel it, no matter what those people thought of her, she seemed to stay out of the matter, and she didn't look at them, as if she was in the same world as them.

When the three of them came to the counter, they saw that the shopkeeper was a middle-aged obscene uncle, who was fiddling with the abacus, and when they saw Chu Haoge and the three of them coming, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro with amazement.

"Ahem." Chu Haoge coughed a few times, interrupting the shopkeeper's thoughts, and suddenly pulled him back to the reality, the shopkeeper looked at Chu Haoge, and saw that he was not very luxuriously dressed, which could only be regarded as better, and squeezed out some smiles on his face and said, "Three guest officers, this is?" "Most of the people who come to the restaurant to have some fun are boys or rich bosses, all of them are men who like to come for fun, this Chu Haoge brought two beautiful girls here is really strange, and the shopkeeper doesn't know what to say for a while.

Chu Haoge didn't care about him, and said straight to the point: "Let's buy wine." As he spoke, he glanced back at Murong with some embarrassment, meaning that he was going to break the bill again this time.

Murong Xiaoyan looked at him and signaled that it didn't matter, she was not an ignorant person, it was about Chu Haoge's safety, so naturally she couldn't save here.

Seeing Murong Xiaoyan like this, Chu Haoge took out two ingots of silver, handed them to the shopkeeper, and said, "I want your best wine." The shopkeeper's hands took the silver tael that Chu Haoge handed him, and took a decent bite with his teeth, as if trying its hardness.

The shopkeeper accepted the silver given by Chu Haoge, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, wait a minute, guest officer." He turned to the man next to him and winked at him and said, "Go to the cellar and get a good red daughter from the jar." ”

"Okay." The guy answered and ran.

After a while, the guy set up a jar of wine and placed it on the counter, Chu Haoge opened the stopper of the wine jar, and a smell of wine came to his face.

Chu Haoge was about to carry the wine jar and leave, but was stopped by Murong Xiaoyan, she rushed forward, first sniffed it, couldn't help frowning, the shopkeeper asked for a chopstick, dipped a little wine, put it in her mouth and tasted it.

"......" A few people around looked at her and didn't bother her, the main thing Chu Haoge had already paid, and he didn't stop Murong Xiaoyan who would take care of that matter.

"This daughter is only about two years old." She whispered to Chu Haoge and Jiuli Qiantaro, but she didn't deliberately prevent others from listening, the shopkeeper and the little guy on the side heard it clearly, and the shopkeeper's cold sweat came out at this time, he thought that these three young people didn't understand wine, so he took an ordinary vintage wine and brought it to fool the three of them, but he didn't expect that there was a 'taster' who could taste the vintage.

Chu Haoge and Jiuli Qiantaro have only listened to this wine for two years, and they were said by the shopkeeper to be a good woman, and they were not in a hurry to speak, they all looked at the shopkeeper indifferently.

At this time, the shopkeeper's face was dripping with cold sweat, isn't this going to smash his house's signboard? Hurriedly shouted to the guy: "What's the matter with you kid, I asked you to take the good daughter red, what are you taking here?" As he spoke, his face darkened, and he seemed to be choked with anger.

This guy is not a stupid person, he reacted very quickly, and quickly apologized and said: "Alas, shopkeeper, this is not a bit messy in the cellar, I took it wrong in this hurry." Saying that, he hurriedly compensated Chu Haoge and the three of them, and was yelled at by the shopkeeper a few words before he hurriedly ran away, and then went to get the "daughter red".

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly and said apologetically: "Three, I'm really sorry, my guy is a little stupid." As he spoke, he took out the two ingots of silver that Chu Haoge handed him just now, took out one ingot and returned it to Chu Haoge, and said, "In this way, I will pay you half of the money as a regular customer." ”

Chu Haoge and the three of them looked at the shopkeeper and the guy singing and harmonizing, these two people should simply go to acting, they will definitely become famous, the shopkeeper handed over the silver ingot, Chu Haoge didn't wait to collect it, Murong Xiaoyan snatched it over, secretly gave it to Chu Haoge, and then pouted at the shopkeeper and said, "Then don't fool us with the wine that hasn't been many years old." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and laughed dryly, saying no, looking very embarrassed, Chu Haoge and Jiuli Qiantaro glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that it is true, this kind of profiteer can really only be cured by Murong.

After a while, the guy brought up a large jar of wine, the whole wine jar was made of pottery, and it was stuffed with a red cloth, and after serving it, Murong Xiaoyan went to open it again, and smelled it, this time it was simply intoxicating, Chu Haoge smelled the wine, and felt that he was already drunk.

After smelling the aroma of wine, Murong Xiaoyan didn't taste it this time, and nodded at Chu Haoge.

It wasn't until Chu Haoge and the three of them left the restaurant that Murong Xiaoyan's uncomfortable feeling disappeared, he shook the goosebumps all over his body, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Chu Haoge: "Don't come to this kind of place in the future." This is not like an exhortation, but like a command.

"Oh......" Chu Haoge responded, he was now holding the wine jar, through the stopper, Chu Haoge could still smell the intoxicating aroma of wine.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant felt that his heart was broken, the guest gave twenty taels of silver, and the daughter red This kind of good wine is only a dozen taels in the world, and it was naturally safe to sell it directly to the three people, but they tossed for most of the day, and they also spit out ten taels of silver.

"I said, Murong, I can't see that you know how to drink." Chu Haoge said to Murong Xiaoyan as he walked, they were going to go to the blacksmith shop in the west of the city again now to see if they could buy the short old man.

Murong Xiaoyan raised her white jade neck and said proudly: "Of course, the disciples of our sect are all living on the tip of the sword, how can anyone not like to drink?" As he spoke, he licked his lips, glanced at the altar of daughter red wrapped by Chu Haoge, and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't drunk much since I left the sect." Her unintentional action of licking her lips was very tempting, and Chu Haoge, who saw it, was all over her body, and said in her heart: "I usually don't see Murong much, but I didn't expect that he still has the potential to be a goblin." ”

Seeing Murong Xiaoyan staring at the altar of daughter red he was holding, he hurriedly dodged to the side, for fear that Murong Xiaoyan would snatch it and drink it, and then looked at Murong Xiaoyan's gluttony, sighed, and said, "Okay, if you want to drink it, let's buy it when this matter passes." ”

Murong Xiaoyan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, you can invite me to drink something cheap." He added: "The inn where we live has it, and I can buy a pot for a few pennies." ”

Chu Haoge was stunned by what she said, looked at Murong Xiaoyan's tangled appearance, sighed, and said in his heart: "Murong must have suffered a lot before. ”

Jiuli Qiantaro also interjected at this time and said: "Although I am not good at drinking, I have seen a record of 'daughter red' in the book before, which is a custom of the Han people, when the daughter is just born, it will use glutinous rice, brown sugar and other materials to make wine, seal it and bury it under the laurel tree next to the daughter wall, and then take it out when the daughter grows up and marry, as a guest for entertaining, according to legend, this wine is very mellow, there are many people who admire it, and then 'daughter red' has become a specially brewed wine." Speaking and teasingly, he looked like Murong Xiaoyan, and said, "Maybe your sect also brewed your daughter red, you can invite Gongzi Chu to drink it." ”

Murong Xiaoyan didn't react to what she meant at first, and said: "Our sect is not a resident, how can we brew any 'daughter red', besides, there are so many wars in the sect, and the female disciples will also lose their lives if they are not careful, and I don't ......" As soon as she said this, her voice stopped abruptly, her eyes stared at Jiuli Qiantaro, and her face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck, "Doesn't she mean that I will marry Chu Haoge?" ”

Murong Xiaoyan glanced at Chu Haoge, and saw that he was holding the altar of daughter Hong and struggling forward, as if he hadn't heard what they said just now, so his face softened a little, and he glared at Jiuli Qiantaro in shame for the first time, causing Jiuli Qiantaro to laugh dumbly.

While talking, the three of them had already come to the west of the city, Jiuli Qiantaro didn't feel anything, Chu Haoge and Murong Xiaoyan looked at the dilapidated blacksmith shop in front of them, and their mood was very complicated, they were driven out of this dilapidated blacksmith shop in the morning, they didn't expect to come back so soon, and they also brought a "bribe" to the 'short old man'.

Murong Xiaoyan shouted at the door: "Is there anyone?" "She's very loud.

Seeing that she was so reckless, Chu Haoge didn't say anything polite at all, grabbed Murong back with a free hand, motioned her not to talk nonsense, and then said politely inside: "Old man, are you there?" But he was now holding a jar of wine, and his politeness was a little funny.

The three of them looked directly at the dim shop inside, and there was a short shadow walking over, it seemed that it was the short old man who drove them away at that time, he walked very slowly, and felt that it should be two or three steps away, but he walked for a long time, and then looked at his staggering appearance, as if he would fall down at any time, and people couldn't help but sweat for him.

"What are you doing again?" As soon as the short old man walked out of the dark place of the shop, he said to Chu Haoge and the others: "It's you two again, didn't I say it, the craftsman is not here, you might as well go to the gambling house to find him." Saying that, the short old man blasted the three of them away with both hands, as if he had lost his center of gravity, as if one of them would fall to the ground if he was not careful, and Chu Haoge wanted to help him several times.

Chu Haoge and the three of them were driven by him like this, and the three of them all took two steps back, and Murong Xiaoyan and Chu Haoge were not too surprised when they saw this situation, after all, this old man also had a stinky face when he came in the morning.

Without saying a word, Murong Xiaoyan stepped directly in front of Chu Haoge, pulled off the stopper on the wine jar, and for a while, the aroma of the wine filled a radius of several meters.

The short old man's movements stopped there all of a sudden, staring directly at the wine jar that Chu Haoge was holding, and he had already concluded that this wine was definitely a good wine after smelling it, and the whole person's expression changed.

The wrinkles on the face of the short old man who had an evil face just now were all squeezed together, and he didn't look much better than his fierce appearance just now, but he didn't think so, his saliva seemed to be about to flow to the ground, and he pretended to look indifferent, looking at the three of them with a smile, really like a kind old man.

Chu Haoge's eyes rolled around a few times in his sockets, and he suddenly sighed, and said with a depressed face: "Alas, I originally wanted to visit the old man's house, but ...... Looks like the old man doesn't want to see us yet. Holding the jar in one hand, he took the stopper of the wine jar in Murong Xiaoyan's hand in the other, sealed the mouth of the altar, and said to the two: "Alas, let's go." "After that, I will leave with Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qianyao.

The short old man saw that Chu Haoge was about to leave with the wine jar in his arms, this was in a hurry, and he hurriedly ran two steps and walked around in front of them, this time the speed was also faster, not like just now, which made the three of them wait for a long time.

The short old man blocked the way of the three of them, and said with a smile on his face: "This handsome guy, look at what you are talking about, you have come all the way to see my old bones, if I don't appreciate it anymore, wouldn't it be too bad." What he said was high-sounding and very righteous and awe-inspiring, but his eyes did not leave the wine jar in Chu Haoge's arms at all, and even the title of Chu Haoge became a little flattering.
