(Ask for a collection ticket.) Let's talk about updates.,Two chapters a day.,Add more from time to time.。 The number of words is not much, you can collect it first to fatten it and then kill it. The new book issue needs a lot of support, thank you! )

The candle flame crackled and made a slight popping sound, and the light dimmed again. Fang Zi'an shook his head, getting rid of his frustration. It's come to this point, it's useless to think about it, and life has to go on. Sir, maybe find an opportunity to bridge it later and find out the real reason. At the moment, I still need to calm down, study well, and prepare for the autumn exam. It is well known that you can't go to the academy, and if you go to the academy, you will inevitably be pointed at by others, and you will not be able to study quietly. Because of this, today he committed a crime against the wind and sold the word to Qin Xiqing, because he needed this silver too much. There are still many months to go before the autumn exam, and I also need to spend money on food and clothing, as well as buy some books and four treasures, and buy some decent clothes. Also, the rainy season in Jiangnan is coming, and the house needs to be repaired, and some tables, chairs, bedding and so on are added, all of which require silver. I was worried about these things, but I didn't expect someone to send charcoal in the snow today.

Looking at the silver ticket in front of him, Fang Zi'an's mind came to mind with Qin Xiqing's beautiful face.

"This woman is indeed very beautiful, but she has a good voice, and it is difficult to think of being famous. It's a pity that it fell into the dust. However, it seems that this woman is also benevolent, and it is very surprising that she actually came to apologize in person for my expulsion from the school. Such a woman is also worth befriending. ”

Fang Zi'an thought as he picked up the candlestick and walked to the bed, blew out the lights and lay on the bed with a puff, his ears heard the drizzle outside the window lingering and ticking, and soon drowsiness hit and snoring loudly.

……

The morning sun is rising, and the Lin'an Mansion that has been washed away by the drizzle is like a new life, shining in the sun.

The shops on the street are open, and the guys who get up early in the store start to disassemble the door panels of the shops with yawn looks, ready to welcome the busy day of the new day. The 'click' of dismantling the door panels resounded throughout the street. The guys and the pedestrians on the street seemed to have become accustomed to the noise and did not attract their attention in the slightest.

On both sides of the street, steaming breakfast stalls have long been set up, and the stall owners are shouting loudly to solicit business. The people who rushed to the dock and the market were bustling and lively, a busy scene.

Fang Zi'an walked slowly down such a street, with a smile on his face. He enjoyed this street scene very much, and did not find it noisy at all, on the contrary, Fang Zi'an thought that this was life, a life full of fireworks. Every time I go to such a market, I feel that everyone is trying to live an active life. No matter what kind of time and space they are in, what kind of environment they are in, everyone lives tenaciously like weeds. It is precisely from this vigorous fireworks that Fang Zi'an is more and more able to accept the fact of crossing, and becomes more and more determined to live here.

The street on the south side of Sanyuanfang is called Straw Shoes Street, why it is called this name is no longer known, Fang Zi'an must pass through there when entering and leaving Sanyuanfang.

The noisy and extraordinary under the big locust tree at the entrance of the street, here is a noodle stall, at this moment the coolies who rush out of the Genshan Gate to work and transport goods to the canal wharf are gathered in this noodle stall to have breakfast, the door of the shop facing the street under the big locust tree is squatting in the east and west, and there are many people holding a coarse porcelain bowl and snoring and eating noodles.

"Hey, Fang Xiaoguan, come and take a seat." The stall owner was a thin old man, and when he saw Fang Zi'an coming, the old man hurriedly greeted him from afar.

Fang Zi'an smiled and walked briskly, this stall was the place where he came most often for breakfast. Since he got that lottery, Fang Zi'an has eaten a bowl of Yangchun noodles at this noodle stall almost every morning before going to the academy. This family's 10 pennies a bowl of Yangchun noodles is full of weight, good taste, and very affordable.

"Come, come, sit here. The seat has already been prepared for you. Shicai Nier also said why Fang Gongzi hasn't come today, isn't this coming? The old man said with a smile while quickly wiping the stool with a cloth towel.

Fang Zi'an turned his head and glanced at a girl who was busy working on the stove, the girl's hands didn't stop, but her eyes also looked over, and she happened to meet Fang Zi'an's gaze, and immediately flashed away like a frightened deer.

Fang Zi'an smiled and turned his head to sit down, and a sweaty coolie holding a sea bowl to eat on the side complained loudly: "Old Zhangtou, you said that there is no seat, why do you have a seat when this person comes?" Is it a bully? ”

Old Zhang Tou scolded with a smile: "Can you compare with Fang Gongzi?" He is a student of Qixia Academy, and he will be an official in the imperial examination in the future. You don't know a single word, and you have been a coolie all your life like an old man, can you compare? ”

The coolie pouted and said, "Do you want to be a big official?" Not necessarily. How did you know he would be able to get in? Do you expect others to carry you in the future? Don't make a bamboo basket for water. ”

Before Lao Zhangtou could speak, the maiden on the stove opened her eyes and said, "Li Laosan, can't the hot noodles burn your mouth?" Fang Gongzi didn't offend you, why did you curse people for not being able to pass the imperial examination? If you dislike my family's inconsiderate hospitality, Ming'er will go to another house to eat noodles, and my family's noodles will not be sold to the dogs. ”

The coolie named Li Laosan was stunned, waved his chopsticks and said, "You have to go, count me wrong, you are my aunt." Your noodles are delicious and generous, so I won't go to another house to eat them. ”

"Then you can eat your noodles raw, don't bite your tongue when you talk." The girl rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay, count me too much. Oh, you can't afford to mess with this girl, you don't care, how can you marry this in the future? Although Li Laosan confessed, he still couldn't help muttering.

"What did you say?" The girl scooped up a spoonful of hot soup and opened her apricot eyes and was about to splash, but Li Laosan hid far away in three steps and two steps in the morning, and didn't dare to approach anymore.

The coolies around laughed, and Fang Zi'an also laughed. Of course, this girl Fang Zi'an knows, she is the daughter of Lao Zhangtou named Chun Nier. Don't look at her delicate and lovely, but she is a spicy girl. However, Fang Zi'an takes good care of him, every time Fang Zi'an comes to eat noodles, the amount is the most, the lard is also the most, and there is a special seat.

"Fang Gongzi, is it still a bowl of Yangchun noodles, with more spicy noodles and chopped green onions?" Chuniel asked.

Fang Zi'an nodded and smiled: "It's still the old rules." ”

Chun Ni'er nodded and was busy, and the old Zhang Tou asked with a smile: "Why didn't Fang Gongzi go to the academy today, and I didn't see you go out yesterday." What's wrong? Sick? Look at your face is not very good. ”

Chuniel on the side nervously pricked up her little ears and listened.

"I'm not sick, isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival? The academy has a Spring Break during the Dragon Boat Festival, so you don't have to go to the academy to study. Fang Zi'an prevaricated.

Chuniel's expression was obviously relaxed, and her hand movements were more numb, a ball of noodles was quickly and evenly in her hands, and then quickly pulled into silk, and after a few folds, it became a thin silky noodle, which was quickly thrown into the pot.

"I see, that's good, that's good. It must be caused by the son's hard work and staying up late. The son made a while, and the old man went to greet the other guests. The old man nodded and smiled as he greeted the new coolies.

Fang Zi'an sat there looking at the busy street scene, and soon a bowl of fragrant noodles was placed in front of him by a slender hand stained with flour.

"Childe, let's eat it, if the noodle soup and spicy green onions are not enough, add them." Chuniel said softly.

"Okay, thank you, girl. It's enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it all. Fang Zi'an hurriedly turned his head and smiled.

"Eat more, so that you have the strength to study. Reading costs brains, and you must be well fed. Also, don't stay up late, stay up late and hurt your body. Chunnier nodded and spoke, glanced at Fang Zi'an meaningfully, and turned back to the stove to work.

Fang Zi'an was stunned, and immediately shook off his cheeks and began to eat noodles. The spicy seeds in his bowl were piled up into a small mountain, and there were a lot more chopped green onions. Originally, the Yangchun noodles in Lin'an Province were mainly light, but the people in the north crossed here because the Jin people went south, bringing with them the eating habits of the north. Businessmen are naturally customer-oriented, so now the food in Lin'an City has changed greatly, with a hodgepodge of mixed north and south, and even things like Yangchun noodles have become different. Fang Zi'an loved spicy food before he crossed over, and although there was no real chili pepper after coming here, there was a mixture of small wild pepper and Sichuan pepper that replaced the spicy taste, and the taste was also spicy, which was better than nothing. It's just that Fang Zi'an has a heavy taste, and he has to put a lot of it every time to be interesting.

Seeing Fang Zi'an's sweet food, Chun Nier, the girl on the stove, was also very happy, pursed her mouth and laughed at Fang Zi'an's gobbling up food. Suddenly, seeing Fang Zi Leng there, staring at the bowl, the girl couldn't help but turn her head and laugh. Fang Zi'an didn't choke on eating, he saw an egg in the bowl. Eggs are very valuable in these years, and an egg is more expensive than a bowl of noodles, costing ten cents a piece.

Fang Zi'an turned her head and looked at Chun Nier in surprise, Chun Nier pouted, pointed to the old Zhang Tou who came and made a quick eating motion. Fang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, then swallowed the egg into his mouth and chewed it. Chuniel smiled with satisfaction, working neatly in her hands, her face flushed slightly, as if she had done something unseemly.

"Is Childe satisfied with what he ate?" Old Zhang Tou came to Fang Zi'an's side and asked earnestly. Fang Zi'an stuffed an egg in his mouth and couldn't speak, so he had to nod hesitantly. Lao Zhangtou nodded and raised his big finger and said: "It's still the son's knowledge, and the son refuses to speak when he eats, which is the biggest compliment." ”

Fang Zi'an put the egg in his mouth into his stomach with the noodle soup, burped with satisfaction, stood up, and reached into his arms to touch the copper plate to pay the bill. At this moment, there was a cacophony of shouting from the west street. Some people ran in surprise, some shouted and cursed, and from a distance, they saw that some vegetable stalls and fruit stalls were overturned, and some people fell on the street.

"Oh no, those bastards are here. Nier, put out the stove and close the stall. Old Zhang Tou saw the situation over there and shouted in alarm.

Chunnier was also a little flustered, and hurriedly shouted to the diners: "I'm sorry, everyone, the business is not done, hurry up and bring the dishes and chopsticks." ”

Everyone didn't know why, how the half-eaten diners were willing to put down the bowls, and the old Zhang Tou laughed and begged them to hurry up.

"Uncle Zhang, what's going on? Why are you going to close the stall? This is the time of day. Out of business? Fang Zi'an frowned and asked.

"Hey, what else is the business? Those bastards have come to blackmail money. We can't afford to mess with them, they are three taels of silver in one mouth, and we haven't necessarily been able to earn three taels of silver in a month of hard work. Childe, let's go quickly, these people can't be provoked. Lao Zhangtou said in a panic while cleaning up the benches, tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.
