Chapter 415: A Dream of Clearing the Building
"Two people stay in the hotel and make some food."
Xue Tan shook his head, this is too confusing, but in order to save money, there is still no way, so he can only temporarily aggrieve Ding Yufu to live in this broken house with him.
"Miss Ding, I have wronged you." Xue Tan also felt that something was wrong, and secretly felt guilty in his heart.
"What's this, can't bear the same hardship, can you still be called husband and wife?" Ding Yu Fuwan smiled and joked about Xue Tan.
"By the way, Miss Ding, I don't know where to find those two medicines." Xue Tan asked.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this, I will ask Xiao Er to send a message to the Lin family on East Street, saying that we live here, and when the time comes, someone will naturally come to pick us up and take us to the pharmacy to buy medicine, you can rest assured that Lin Yunshen has already promised me."
"Okay, it seems that there will be Miss Lao."
Ding Yufu called someone to greet Lin Yunshen, and the next day, the two made an appointment to have lunch together, and then they all went to the largest medicine house in Qingzhou.
And Xue Tan was led to a place by the king.
"Xue Gongzi, I'll go downstairs to eat and drink, you wait for me here." Wang Zhangshi smiled, and then blended into the gentle village.
Xue Tan stood in front of the restaurant for a long time, and he didn't see anyone greet him, the brothel Yufu sneered, he couldn't enter, and he lost face too much when he retreated, and he was hesitating how to leave this place without losing his dignity, standing in place, stunned for a while.
At this time, just as he was catching up with the old bustard to come out, he saw that he was dressed in shabby clothes, and was about to drive him away, when suddenly there was a greeting from the upper floor.
"Mom, let's invite this son first."
Xue Tan looked up and saw that it was none other than the woman in green clothes he had just met on the street corner, who was leaning on the trunk at the moment, stroking a pipa in her hand, covering half of her cheeks, with a pair of willow leaf bent eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, seducing the soul and seeming to be charming, even the woman liked it.
"What a woman who has captivated the country and the city." Xue Tan praised, not only lost his mind, but the old bustard looked at it and laughed, mocking him for being useless and not seeing anything in the world.
"Childe doesn't hurry up upstairs, since the girl who asked you to go up in person, the tea money of five taels of silver is owed first, presumably you don't have any silver taels." The old bustard looked Xue Tan up and down, and saw the tattered clothes he was wearing, and he didn't want to get so much money, but since Miss Ruyan Chen had spoken, how dare she disobey.
You know, it's big
Yangzhou City, there are not a few brothels Qinglou who want to invite this corner, no matter how much silver they pay to invite the girl like smoke over, she refuses one by one, first, she is used to staying in this place, and secondly, this old bustard is facing her everywhere, and it has some relationship.
Xue Tan waved his sleeves, strode the meteor and walked in, the old bustard walked in front to lead the way, through a wooden door on the first floor into the courtyard, from the center of the courtyard there is a lake, the lake is full of white lotus, on the right is a small pavilion, the stone pillar made of red brick paint, the top of the vermilion ink gold tile, extravagant and luxurious.
From the small pavilion through the corridor, from the left and right stairs to the second floor, this second floor is not the same as the room open to the outside for the guests, but two separate places, at the end of the huge second floor there is only one room, is the place where the woman in green clothes waits.
The corridor was filled with the smell of sandalwood and women's fat powder mixed together, the smoked people were dizzy, the long pipa song came out from the end of the corridor, tactfully whirling, the old bustard was waiting downstairs, let Xue Tan go up alone, he was stunned for a while, lifted the corners of his trousers, and carefully pinched his feet as if walking, not daring to make a little movement, for fear of disturbing the girl.
They waited outside the door for a long time, until the music in the room stopped, and there was a shout: "Come in." Xue Tan came back to his senses from the moving song and said, "I'm disturbed." Then he pushed the door open and entered.
Xue Tan entered the house and carefully looked at the displays in the room.
It was not as extravagant as he had imagined, but on the contrary, it seemed strange to him that the famous Oiran was too simple and barren, and that the room was even older than the girl's boudoir of the common people, and there were no precious vases and paintings in the room, just a bed and a table with a few plain teacups.
The tea in the cup was still steaming, and the rich aroma of tea penetrated into his nose, making him take a deeper breath.
The window of the window had long been closed, and it was the bustling street outside, and in front of the window, in addition to the pipa that I had just seen, there was also a small table with a tattered guqin.
"Childe, please be seated." Ruyan invited Xue Tan to sit down and poured a cup of tea for him, the tea was not as Xue Tan drank in the inn, but it was clear and light, and a touch of pale cyan floated on the water, looking tasteless.
"Childe, this is brought by a little woman in her hometown, if you really know how to taste tea, smell it, taste its fragrance,
Smell its color, you can distinguish the quality of this tea, if it is the ordinary people who do not understand tea, only feel that this tea is as light as water, mediocre. ”
When Xue Tan heard this, he hurriedly thanked him like smoke, picked up the cup and tasted it carefully, and tasted the taste of this tea carefully, but he felt that it was as light as water and had no taste at all.
"Girl, don't bluff me, this is obviously a little bit of broken tea leaves crushed into the end, and the tea made of bricks not only has no taste, but also separates the bitterness of this tea leaves, covering up the fragrance of tea that should be there, could it be that Xiaosheng really doesn't understand the mystery of this? I also hope that the girl will be clear. ”
Ruyan suddenly laughed, bent over happily, and felt ungraceful again, and gently covered her mouth with her cuffs.
Xue Tan was inexplicable for a while, could it be that he was laughing at him? hurriedly asked Ruyan, but she didn't answer, just smiled to herself.
"Gong ...... Childe, you are the most honest person I have ever met, those officials and scholars, literati and writers, think they are elegant, know hundreds of volumes of documents, know all kinds of delicacies, taste the sufferings of the world, but they don't even recognize this pot of water, even these tea heels, can write a long and broad commentary, singing the good of this tea. ”
"Actually, these are just the scattered tea leaves I bought on the street, which were originally made into sachets by the store in the summer, one is aromatic and deodorant, and the other can also repel mosquitoes.
"I also said that I had gone through a lot of hardships, and entrusted a friend who was a businessman or an official to get such a handful for myself, but I didn't expect to see such a superb product in my place today, it is really fate, son, you say, isn't it ridiculous?"
Only then did Xue Tan know that she was also testing herself, and she was not angry, she had fun with her for a long time, laughing at those fake literati and fake gentlemen who were just inferior people who pretended to be immoral, but they wanted to put on a sven appearance, which made Xue Tan can't help but think of the experience in his hometown, and the bedridden Ding Yufu's father, and couldn't help but feel sad again.
Xue Tan saw that he suddenly quieted down and asked, "Childe has something on his mind?" ”
Xue Tan glanced at her, only to find that Ruyan was not only pretty, but also looked like a fox in those eyebrows, with a kind of demonic magic that made people look at it, eyes as clear as a lake, and like the dew on the petals of the morning sun, revealing a sense of wit, and seemed to have a little cunning, and he was fascinated by it.
