Chapter 186: Wangjiang upstairs tells stories again

The name Wangjiang Tower is easy to misunderstand at first glance.

First of all, what you see from the Wangjiang Tower is not the river, but the Jingquan Grand Canal, which was dug hundreds of years ago and extends from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to Quanzhou.

Secondly, this restaurant is not a place where literati and scholars gather, on the contrary, all the people who gather here all the year round are evil men and reckless men in the cultivation circle of Yuezhou City.

In the minds of the people of Yuezhou, the image is tall, but the prestige has risen the fastest, but it is among these righteous and evil dog slaughterers.

And Bu An deliberately supported the Song brothers and sisters, and moved everyone to come to Wangjiang Tower, and the real purpose was not as simple as setting up a banquet for Deng Xiaoxian.

On the Qiantang River, Song Manqiu once asked him why he didn't recruit troops in Jiaxing. The reason Bu'an said is only one of them, and the other reason is more complex and more secretive.

In a word, the purpose of his regimental training was not to protect the family and the people, and this would be something that would have to be seen sooner or later in the future.

And ordinary good people, once they know that their masters are going to raise troops to rebel, I am afraid that their first reaction is to be frightened.

Only outlaws with their heads on their belts and never knowing what loyalty is, will be at ease and fearless.

What's more, it takes too much time and cost to train farmers who cultivate the land into pawns who fight in battle.

In other words, when Bu'an came to Wangjianglou, he did not invite guests to dinner, but mobilized the masses to make a revolution.

At this moment, he walked calmly in front of the people of the Seven Divisions, frequently clenched his fists, passed through the crowd of banquet attendees, and came to the empty main table on the second floor.

As soon as he was about to sit down, a middle-aged woman dressed in rich clothes greeted him.

Deng Xiao hurriedly introduced him that this Hu Siniang was the owner of Wangjiang Tower.

When Bu An heard this, he said haha, and said that he had admired his name for a long time.

Hu Siniang chuckled, and hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said: "Bu Ye is really good at talking, Siniang is just a waiter, how can there be a big name." The last time Bu Ye threw Gongsun Pang's old child into the river, he was really happy, but unfortunately the slave family couldn't see it with his own eyes. ”

The woman was born bewitching, laughing, and the corners of her eyes were full of fine wrinkles, but the skin on the back of her hands was very delicate.

What she said to serve people, it was obviously modest and polite, Wangjianglou was quite prestigious in the Yuezhou cultivation world, and she, the proprietress, was by no means an ordinary person.

It's just that no matter how unusual she is, compared with the seven divisions who are in the limelight, she is also half a head shorter.

Right now, she laughed and joked, as if she was very familiar with everyone in the Seven Divisions, while greeting the guys to serve good wine and food, while accompanying Bu'an to say some jokes, which not only gave Bu'an enough face, but also had no feeling of being low-voiced, it was really exquisite, sophisticated and sleek.

When the wine and food were served, Bu An got up and thanked him, then walked to the atrium on the second floor, raised his glass and said loudly: "Today's flower Taoist practice is complete, the new monk, the seven priests have come to Wangjiang upstairs, and invite all the heroes, if there is anything wrong, please Haihan!"

After speaking, he took the lead in raising his glass and drank it all.

"Bu Ye is polite!"

"Brother Deng has been promoted, it's really gratifying!"

"The flower Taoist usually doesn't have a serious attitude, it's all because the step master is strictly controlled, and the cultivation has not fallen!"

Upstairs and downstairs, the diners who came to the banquet also raised their glasses.

Deng Xiaoxian drank a glass of wine, his face was already red, and he muttered: "Who is not serious, Lao Tzu is loose and tight, where has the cultivation fallen......" was glared at by Luo Qingting, and then changed his words: "It's still that Bu Ye is strict, and what he said is reasonable!

At this time, Bu An took the wine glass that Hu Siniang helped him refill, and raised his glass again: "Take this opportunity, I have a question, and I want to ask all the heroes." Without pause, he asked directly, "What are you and I asking for in practice?"

Hu Siniang looked a little surprised, and said in her heart that this little scholar couldn't drink too much, why did he run to my Wangjiang upstairs, and asked Jingyi to come. What do you seek in practice? If you don't seek wealth and glory, do you want to be comfortable and complete?

Hundreds of diners were also stunned by his question.

"Eliminate harm for the people!" I don't know who shouted, which caused Xi Suosuo to laugh, but the laughter quickly subsided, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

In Yuezhou City, who doesn't know that the seventh Sibu Ye is a student of Tianmu. Thinking about this little step master, he also has the ambition of self-cultivation and Qi family to rule the country and level the world, but these truths are incompatible with the temperament of Wangjianglou.

Everyone didn't want to refute Buye's face, but no one said big things on the Wangjiang Tower in order to flatter, which made his peers laugh in the future.

Seeing this, Hu Siniang coughed dryly, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but saw the impermanence of the Qisi Buye laughing.

"Bullshit!" Bu An smiled: "You eliminate harm for the people, who will stand up for you?!"

Everyone didn't expect that Qisi Buye spoke so rudely, he was no different from the people in the rivers and lakes, he was very happy to listen to it for a while, and when he thought of what happened to Qisi, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Hu Siniang's expression flashed with a hint of panic, and she secretly said that something was wrong: This little scholar wants to use these strangers in Wangjianglou to make trouble for the government?

In the blink of an eye, she felt like she was thinking too much. No one knew the hundreds of people in this building better than she did, and it was not as easy as it seemed to stir them up.

"Don't come with me!" Bu An raised his voice and said, "What are you practicing for?"

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, he turned around and pointed at Deng Xiaoxian and said, "Come on, come on, Flower Daoist, what are you for?"

Deng Xiaoxian had already received Bu'an's instructions in advance, and replied cheerfully without thinking about it: "For the sake of eating wine and meat, and for not being inferior." ”

Someone shouted, "Let's go to the kiln!" and there was a burst of laughter.

Deng Xiaoxian spread his hands and said with a smile: "Reasonable, reasonable! Go to the kiln for wine and meat!"

Now everyone laughed even more.

Hu Siniang was even more confused: This little scholar is not here to take revenge on the government, so why did he ask this sentence today?

Make up your mind now: I'll be calm and see what he has to say next.

I saw Bu An laughing and said: "This is the truth! Children of the rivers and lakes, what do you say, it is called happy!" Raising his neck, he drank the wine in the cup, handed the wine glass to Hu Siniang, and continued: "I once heard that there was an emperor in the previous dynasty, when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he met the presiding officer of Jinshan Temple, and he had the intention to make trouble, so he asked how many boats there are on the Grand Canal? Guess what, can the monk answer?"

Someone glanced at the busy canal outside the window, shook his head and sighed: "How can you answer that?

Someone else speculated: "Could it be that this old monk's cultivation of the heavenly eye can see clearly at a glance?"

Hu Siniang poured wine and scolded at the same time: Where are so many questions in this little scholar's stomach, is it to invite someone to eat wine today, or to come to the book? Yes, before I heard that this little scholar was imposing, he really talked about books on Zijing Street.

He's been itching for a long time, and he's getting addicted?
