Chapter 53: Purple Rock Street
Zishi Street is just south of the Lion Tower, there is a majestic archway in the east and west, and there are two words of "Shen Du" and "Filial Piety" on it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There is also a beautiful sightseeing pavilion at the west entrance of the info, and the street is paved with purple stones.
According to legend, during the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, a grandson surnamed Zhixian of Yanggu raised funds to rebuild the Yaqian Commercial Street. The people rushed to contribute funds and efforts, and the project was completed in more than a month. It was night, and purple stones fell from the sky in the east. Discussion: Purple stones fall from the sky, and the purple gas comes from the east, showing the prosperity of Yanggu. Therefore, it is named "Zishi Street". Therefore, this street is becoming more and more prosperous, and Shinong industry and commerce come in an stream, and the stone is prayed for, and then it becomes a folk custom.
Wang Lun led everyone to walk along Zishi Street, looking for Wang Po Teahouse all the way. Zishi Street is eight or nine hundred meters long, thirty or forty meters wide, a large purple stone stands in the middle of the street, and from time to time there are people praying for blessings on the stone.
Xiao Lingguan and Wang Xin walked in front, and when they met people, they asked the location of Wang Po's teahouse.
"This brother, do you know Wang Po Teahouse!"
"I don't know."
"Auntie, do you know where the Wang Po Teahouse is?"
"Haven't been."
I have walked more than a mile and asked many people, but I have not found Wang Po Teahouse.
At this moment, a little boy came from the opposite side, also in his teens, with tattered clothes and a basket of fruit in his hand. The little boy's eyes kept looking at Wang Lun and the others, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Finally, the little boy couldn't help but say out loud: "I know the Wang Ganniang teahouse you are looking for." ”
With a child to guide the way, Wang Lun and his party quickly found Wang Po Teahouse. Originally, Wang Lun wanted to give Xiao Tong some silver to thank him, but Xiao Tong didn't accept it, turned around and ran away.
When he arrived at the Wang Po Teahouse, Wang Lun saw that the teahouse was not big, with only five or six tables. At this time, in the afternoon, there are also a few people here drinking tea and chatting.
Wang Lun and the six of them entered the teahouse, and an old woman had already greeted them. "Ladies and gentlemen, please come in, there are melon seeds and tea in the small shop, as well as sugar water and preserved fruits."
The old woman was about forty years old, not very tall, dressed modestly, and had a silver hairpin stuck in her head. His eyes are shrewd, and his mouth is sharp.
This is Wang Po, Wang Lun thought to himself.
Wang Lun and the others sat down, ordered a plate of preserved fruits, and ordered a pot of Huangshan hairy tips.
After a while, everything was ready, and Wang Po attached herself to Wang Lun and the others: "A few guest officers use it slowly. ”
Wang Lun saw that Wang Po was about to retreat, so he opened his mouth to stop him. said: "Wang Po wait, there are a few words of inquiry." ”
Wang Po stood still and said with a smile: "If the guest officer has something to say, just ask."
You said that this Wang Lun went to this Zishi Street to find Wang Po, what is the matter, it is nothing more than for Wu Song. Only in later generations, Shandong people also respected the second brother very much, one was Qin Shubao Qin's second brother, and the other was Wu Song Wu Erlang.
At this time, Wu Song didn't know where it was, but Wu Dalang was easy to find.
After taking a sip of tea, Wang Lun asked, "Is there a family that sells cooking cakes living opposite Wang Po?" ”
Wang Lun didn't know where Wu Dalang lived, but he knew that it was opposite Wang Po, so he came to Wang Po to ask.
This Wang Po didn't expect Wang Lun to ask about this, so she replied without thinking: "The house opposite is empty now, it's been more than half a year, and no one lives in it yet!" There are no people selling cookcakes in the neighborhood, so you have to walk a long way to buy pasta. Wang Po was quick to talk and said a lot of words.
Wang Lun only knew that Wu Dalang lived in Zishi Street, Yanggu County, but he didn't know when he came, so he pounced.
But it doesn't matter if you can't find Wu Dalang, just help Wu Dalang avoid the danger in advance. helped Wu Dalang, with Wu Song's temperament, he will definitely be grateful to Dade, and his chances of befriending Wu Song in the future will be much greater.
Wang Lun thought of this, and said to Wang Po: "I heard that there is a He Jiu Uncle He Tuantou on our Lion Street, please help me invite him, I have something to find him."
After listening to Wang Lun's words, Wang Po directly rushed to a table in the teahouse and shouted: "Brother He Jiu, this official is looking for you!" "I didn't expect Uncle He Jiu, the head of the group, to be in this teahouse.
Uncle He Jiu is a low-level citizen in Yanggu County, but he also has some strength in Zishi Street, and he is responsible for weddings and funerals in this area with his subordinates. In the original book, Wu Dalang's body was handled by him, and later he testified to Wu Song, and he was a rare notary public in this area.
Uncle He Jiu listened to Wang Po's greeting and walked in front of Wang Lun. Seeing that Wang Lun was dressed extraordinarily, he bowed first and asked, "What is the matter with this official looking for a villain?" ”
Wang Lun organized the language and said to Uncle He Jiu: "I heard that a friend of mine left his hometown to settle down in Yanggu County, but he didn't expect to find it here. If this friend of mine comes to Zishi Street, I would like to ask Uncle He Jiu to take care of one or two. After that, Wang Lun took out a silver ingot and handed it to Uncle He Jiu.
Uncle He Jiu looked at the silver and took it in his hand. "The official doesn't need to be so polite, you just tell me the name of this friend."
Seeing that Uncle He Jiu had benefited, Wang Po was very red-eyed, and said vigorously: "Of the neighbors, the old woman is the most enthusiastic and will help." As he spoke, he looked at the silver, which was worth a year's income.
Wang Lun was not stingy, so he should have helped Wu Dalang break his fortune and avoid disasters, and also took a piece of silver to Wang Po. "My friend has two brothers, my brother Wu Zhi makes a living by making cooking cakes, and my younger brother Wu Song has the courage to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger."
Uncle He Jiu and Wang Po wrote it down again and again, and they were very enthusiastic.
After thinking about it, Wang Lun said again: "If you can let him go to Jeju to find me Wang Lun or go to Tokyo, don't stay here for a long time." ”
Wang Lun thought that if Wu Dalang didn't live on Zishi Street and stayed away from these people in Yanggu County, there would be no future series of things, so he arranged it like this.
Wang Po was clever in the end, and replied first: "The old woman knows, she must do it properly." ”
"I went to Tokyo to respond to the martial arts, and I will have to ride a horse to be an official in the future, if you don't take the money and don't do your best, don't blame me for being ruthless." Looking at Wang Po, a famous woman in the Water Margin, Wang Lun had to knock a sentence. "And my second brother Wu is also very hard, you can be careful."
Only then did Wang Po and Uncle He Jiu realize that the silver was not easy to take, but there was no reason to return the silver after receiving it. Besides, it couldn't be simpler, and there would be no mistakes.
Coming out of Wang Po Teahouse, Wang Lun went to the shop selling cold wine next to him, and the boss Hu Zhengqing was also there. Wang Lun also kept the silver and asked him to take care of it. Wang Lun, the silver shop opposite the hotel, also walked over to explain, so that he could leave with confidence.
But he said that Ximenqing and others had to feast and drink in the Lion Tower, and he went downstairs to see off Zhixian and others. Wang Lun was gone, so he asked the man. The guy truthfully replied that Wang Lun had already left, and handed the note left by Wang Lun to Ximenqing.
Ximen Qing took the note and looked at it, and saw a small poem on it - a gift to Ximen's officials.
The beautiful wife and concubine leaned on the Red Mansion, and the rich and noble Ximen Qing,
Bottle Chunmei marries Jun, and takes concubines to seek wealth and manage well.
Don't be greedy for the golden plum, the three of them gathered together and lost their lives.
Mo Dao has nothing to show in heaven, and the retribution has come to regret.
There is also a line of small words on the back: Don't pick up every wood, hide when you see martial arts, remember to remember!
Seeing that this poem does not seem to be a good word, Ximenqing's face is pale.
Pretend to be a ghost! It's really strange to think that Wang Lun and others came in a hurry, and they went in a hurry!
Ximenqing put the paper away and looked at the guy in the Lion Tower with a hesitant face. "Did you tell them about me?"
The guy realized something was wrong and denied it. "I didn't ...... Didn't ......."
The arrogant Ximen Qing didn't care about him, and kicked this guy out of a foot with a side kick. "Call you a mouthful!"
The man lay on the ground with a mouthful of blood and was in pain.
Ximenqing wanted to teach the man a lesson, and came in from outside the door to the housekeeper. yelled: "Oh no, big official! The East Sea Pearl in the house has been stolen! ”
What the? As soon as he heard the steward's words, Ximenqing hurried home.
The East China Sea Pearl is as big as a pigeon's egg, the treasure is shining, and it took three thousand yuan to spend itself, how can you lose it!
