Chapter 25: The Pillow
On both sides of the street are neat and uniform buildings, all kinds of signboards, the weather is so hot, the street is still crowded with people, restaurants and tea shops, inn restaurants, spice clothing, antiques and curiosities, with the knowledge and demand of Pucao, there is only Pucao on this street that Pucao can't think of, and it is estimated that there is nothing he can't buy.
Luoling is indeed the ancient capital of several dynasties, with thousands of weather and brilliant pearls.
Pu Cao sighed while wandering aimlessly through the crowd, originally just thinking about finding a place to stay, but now there are too many inns to choose from, and I don't have a good idea of which one to live in.
"Haha, Brother Wang, I've been waiting for you for a long time, what are you still looking for here?" Pu Cao saw a good-looking young scholar pat himself on the shoulder and laughed at himself.
"You've mistaken someone." Pucao didn't know this person at all.
"Oh, Brother Wang, aren't I just a little late, you still have this temper, and you like to joke with me when you're angry." The young man put his arm around Pucao's shoulders, pulled his sleeve robe out of the hands of several girls without a trace, and said to several women: "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I do have an appointment today, I have something serious to talk about with Brother Wang, and if we have a chance, we will cook wine and discuss poetry." Farewell, farewell. Waving goodbye, the young man quickly turned his head, "Brothers, help you get out below, please have a drink below." ”
I couldn't help but say that I pulled Pu Cao into a tavern on the side of the road to find a place, ordered two servings of chilled plum wine, and ordered a few snacks to accompany the wine, and then I clenched my fists and said to Pu Cao: "Thank you brother for your righteousness, in Xia Su Zizhong, I didn't ask my brother to respect his name." ”
"Ji Qianda." Pu Cao has always been a little wary of people she doesn't know, and used the name that Mr. Huo gave herself, but then again, this is the first time that Pu Cao has officially introduced this name to others.
I saw that many young girls came in the tavern one after another, and after each of them entered the door, they made a blessing to the young man with affection, and went to find a place to sit nearby, and looked at the young man with both hands on his cheeks, and watched the goosebumps rise all over his body.
There were also some women who were more domineering later, seeing that there were diners at the table near the Pucao seat, and threw a few ingots of silver, and the diners smiled and gave up their places with the silver, and those women did not dislike the greasy table, so they took a champa pad, and looked at the young man surnamed Su generously.
What is the situation...... Luoling's women have a bit of a problem with their heads?
The young man surnamed Su didn't care about Pucao's silence, "I miscalculated today, I thought it was hot, and these daughters were all drinking ice at home, and they came out of the gate to buy wine without going over the wall." Hey, childe, I'm pitiful, a few girls are becoming more and more disobedient, and now they don't want to see me and I don't buy wine. He took a sip of plum wine and exclaimed: "This chilled plum wine is still the most authentic of this one." ”
Seeing that Pu Cao sat still like a woodcarv, Su Zizhong quipped: "Eat and drink at ease, I will invite you to this meal, don't worry about being falsely accused, you will know that it is from the south, and it will be the first time to come to Luoling." ”
Su Zizhong threw a small bag towards the counter, "Lao Liu, save more, next time I come to drink, I will deduct it directly." ”
Pu Cao was curious and asked this good-looking young man, "How do you know if I'm from out of town or from the south?" ”
Su Zizhong stroked his hair and shook his head, and the girls in the tavern screamed, looking at Su Zizhong's eyes full of little stars.
"You are carrying your bags, either going out or returning, stopping at several stalls, only asking the price and not buying anything, which means that you have not thought about what to buy. When I called you, you were looking around, looking at everything and feeling fresh, it should be rare in normal times, the weather is hot, and the locals in Luoling will definitely think about it at home first when they come out to buy, and they will not hesitate so much. ”
Su Zizhong pointed to Pucao's face and the back of his hands again, "Your exposed skin is very tanned, it is the kind of dark black with purple red, this color can only be found by people who have been basking in the sun by the water for a long time, either you eat waterway food, or you are smoked and roasted in a boat that has been sitting for a long time." ”
"People who eat waterway rice have muscular arms and rough palms, and they often load and unload goods, pull the fiber, and pull the sails, and the back of the back will look rickety, and the back of the neck will also grind out marks, but you don't."
"The firewood knife inserted in your waist has a thin blade and a thick back that is retracted inward, which is suitable for cutting shrubs and dwarf firewood in the south, while the north has less rain and the trees are drier, and the firewood knife is straight and conducive to force, which is one of the bases for my judgment."
"Look at your shoes, and then look at the shoes of the other people in the tavern."
Pucao looked around, and sure enough, the customers in the store were all wearing light shoes, and even the women were wearing cloth shoes embroidered with patterns.
"Most importantly, I don't see in you the self-righteous pride and philistine of the Luoling people. They always think that they are nobler than other people, and they sneer at ......"
"That's why I will call you, otherwise do you think that my Su Zizhong's money is blowing in the wind, and I will invite you to drink when you see someone." Su Zizhong raised his glass and poured the wine jug a few times, but he didn't pour out the wine, it should be gone, and took the wine jug in front of Pu Cao.
"I'll help you out of the siege, that's what you invited me to drink, if you don't want to, you don't have to pretend to be generous." Seeing the young man's intelligence and charm, Pu Cao felt that the gap between the two people was so big, and when he saw the young man take the wine away, he couldn't help but feel competitive, and snatched the wine jug from Su Zizhong's hand.
"I don't need to pretend to be this, I'm really generous...... Didn't you drink it, this wine doesn't taste good when it is iced, and being generous doesn't mean it can be wasted. Su Zizhong snatched the wine jug again, his head was half-squinted, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was not very old, but he drank the wine with a bit of the taste of immortals in the wine.
I really want to give this good-looking face a fist, a few mouthfuls of food in Pucao, it tastes really good, forget it, for the sake of food, I will beat him a few less punches in my heart.
One drinks and the other eats, each having their own pleasure and not interfering with each other.
"Su Zizhong, is this how you repay me for saving my life?" A woman ran in sweaty, sitting beside Su Zizhong without any indifference, the woman's hairline in the middle of the bun was a little bent, a hosta was inserted obliquely on her head, her eyebrows were big, her nose and her mouth were sakurish, and she was wearing a crimson skirt, perhaps because she was running, and the skirt had a trace of wrinkles.
"Sister Zhang, I can't forget your great kindness, if it weren't for you, I would have died in Mingyue Causeway, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the good life I have now. My Miss Zhang, I wake up every morning and immediately tell myself that my father and mother gave birth to me and raised me, and you gave me a second life. Isn't that sincere? ”
"Hmph, you are poor, since I am so important, why are you avoiding me. I don't come to the courtesy, I write to you and you don't reply, every time I go to look for you, the four girls in your family stop me and say that you are not there, I asked my father to call you to drink at home, you actually said that you are unwell, you can't go out and drink, you, you, you bully people......" Tears fell before the words were finished.
Su Zizhong couldn't see the woman crying the most, so he hurriedly coaxed softly, and it took a lot of effort to coax the young lady into laughter. As soon as he turned around, the girls around him were all looking at him with tears in their eyes, and Su Zizhong already had a premonition that the tavern would become a large-scale tear battle scene in the future.
The girls around walked to Su Zizhong's side, this one called Su Gongzi, and the other called Zizhong, and they didn't say anything else, just wiped their tears, as if Su Zizhong had done something and didn't admit it.
Su Zizhong apologized for this, nodded to the one, and inadvertently saw Pu Cao still eating vegetables by himself, stretched out one foot and kicked Pu Cao under the table, constantly opening his lips to make a "help" lip shape.
A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, and I'm not a gentleman. Pu Caodang didn't see it, and what was even more damaging was that he put the chopsticks into his arm, picked up a dish on the table with one hand and ran to the empty table next to him, and said to the girls who were standing before leaving, "Come on, come on, sit here, it's easy to get heat stroke when it's hot, I'll move you to the place." ”
Lao Liu, the owner of the tavern, and the second boy who sold wine at home moved a stool, grabbed some salted beans and sauce ginger, and commented while shaking the fan.
"Dad, how much should I be if I were Su Gongzi. So many flower-like young ladies crying and shouting to drill into their arms, I will wake up laughing when I fall asleep. ”
"Rabbit cub, rub your harazi, which girl can take a fancy to you, you think you are Su Gongzi. Learn to do business hard, and when you are older, your father will set a good family business for you. Look at Su Gongzi, there are many women who like themselves, where is happiness? There will only be endless worries. Be a man, be like your father, there is a shop, a house, silver, an obedient mother-in-law and two cubs, and your father is a model of a successful man in Luoling. ”
"Dad, is the success you are talking about being punished by your mother for kneeling in the wine jar? Then I'll try to discuss with my brother to make your two elders ........"
"Bastard boy looking for a fight."
Lao Liu lifted the pu fan and knocked it on the head of his second boy, the second boy was clever and dodged with a swish, Lao Liu sat a little against the end of the bench, after the son ran away, the bench cocked violently, almost throwing Lao Liu to death.
Su Zizhong was surrounded by girls, he felt that he couldn't speak now, as long as he talked to one, he would inevitably offend the other group. I can't force it, I shout with both hands." Stop, stop, it's all my fault Su Zizhong, and I live up to the love of the young ladies, but I'm about to return to Daxue Mountain, and I may not return to Zhonglu in this life, I'm afraid that I will delay your young ladies. ”
Su Zizhong didn't understand the heart of the Luoling girl too much, thinking that going back to the Great Snow Mountain would break their thoughts. In fact, after shouting this sentence, the girls cried even harder, and they pointed to the sky and the earth to never give up with Su Zizhong. Not to mention going to the Great Snow Mountain, as long as Su Zizhong agrees, he will not blink his eyes when he jumps into Luoshui now.
As soon as Pu Cao heard that this guy was going back to Daxue Mountain, okay, someone sent a pillow as soon as he dozed off, I have to help with this favor.
Pu Cao thought of a trick, and estimated that he could temporarily pull this from the warbler Yanyan, so he cleared his throat and tapped the table with his knuckles, ready to attract everyone's attention.
"Bang bang" knocked for the first time, but there was no response.
"Bang Bang Bang" added a little strength for the second time, and his fingers hurt a little, but the girls still surrounded Su Zizhong.
"Smack" Pucao slapped the table with a strong palm.
"Hiss" Pucao grinned, this tavern owner is really real, the table is made of such thick solid wood, and the slap table does not move at all, but the palm of his hand hurts.
The slap finally had an effect, and the entire tavern looked at Pucao.
"Su Zizhong, I misunderstood you, we are talking about a major matter related to the Great Snow Mountain this time, you are actually entangled with a group of women, and I want to break off my friendship with you in vain." Pu Cao's voice is not small, he originally wanted to attract attention first, drag Su Zizhong out and then get out together. was worried that he didn't know how to go to the Snow Mountain, so someone took the initiative to send it to the door, and Pucao couldn't let him go easily.
Su Zizhong only thought that Pucao was trying to save him, where did he know the other Xiao Jiujiu, and shouted, "Brother Ji must not be like this, it is all Zizhong's fault, Zizhong, just find a quiet place with you, ladies and ladies can not accompany Zizhong more today, and I will definitely come to the door next time to make amends." Blinking his eyes towards Pu Cao, he hugged Pu Cao's shoulders and whispered, "Good brother, it's interesting enough." ”
Pu Cao faced the group of girls, maintaining an angry expression on her face, and squeezed out a sentence with her teeth that only Su Zizhong heard. "Don't look at who I am."
Originally, everything developed according to the envisaged steps, but who knew that Pucaozui owed another sentence, but it was a hornet's nest.
