The third episode of the bright moon peeps at the people Section 3 The red sleeves add fragrance and grind ink clay
Ye Lan walked into the study and took out a book from the bookshelf casually, and saw that it was a copy of "Nanhua Zhi". He didn't sit down next to the desk, but stood by the bookshelf and flipped through it, and read it with relish. After a while, Baozhu walked into the house with a tray and poured tea for Ye Lan, Ye Lan raised his glass and took a sip, although he felt that it was not as aura as the Qingwei Lingya made by Ye Xiaoxiao on Willow Leaf Island, the fragrance was better.
Baozhu put down the tea set and asked Ye Lan, "Childe, do you have any other orders?"
Ye Lan was anxious to study Xuantian Wuji Gong, and was about to be alone in a room, so he put down the teacup and said to her: "No need, I just want to read with peace of mind, you can go and rest." ”
Baozhu was slightly blessed, and said, "Yes!" and stepped back. Ye Lan had never received such a courteous service on weekdays except when he was in the Dragon Palace that day, and when he saw Baozhu's respectful demeanor, he felt embarrassed, thinking about how to thank this girl. Suddenly, he remembered the words of Xiao Liuzi and Wang Qianlin, so he reached out and touched the Qiankun bag, and found that the broken silver had been exhausted, so he took out an ingot and stuffed it into the jewel's hand.
Baozhu looked down, and suddenly there was an extra ingots in her hand, which was so golden that she was so frightened that she shook her left hand, grabbed the ingots with her right hand and stuffed them back into Ye Lan's palm, and said hurriedly: "Childe, it's too much, I don't dare to ask for it!"
Ye Lan didn't answer, and said indifferently: "Just take it for you." ”
Baozhu still didn't dare to accept it, and pushed it for a long time, seeing that Ye Lan insisted on giving this heavenly reward, he suddenly shed tears, Ying Ying bowed down, and choked up: "Thank you Gongzi for your great kindness!"
Ye Lan was shocked, and said in his heart how to kneel down in a dignified manner, and hurriedly helped her up, seeing that she was crying with pear blossoms and rain, he was puzzled: "The second brother of the eldest grandson obviously told me that others will be happy to reward people with money, and they will serve more dedicatedly, at least they will not spit in the meal." Why did she give this little girl a reward and she cried so sadly?"
He didn't know that this jewel was an orphan girl bought by Mianxiu Pavilion, who had been working in the guest room since she was a child, serving the guests' daily life and food. When these orphan girls reach the age of 16, they will be sold into the Qinglou. Baozhu is frugal on weekdays, and only hopes to redeem himself before the age of sixteen. She has outstanding appearance, she has been targeted by several Qinglou, usually the maid in the Mianxiu Pavilion sells to the Qinglou for only three or four hundred taels of silver, and the shopkeeper Liu regards the treasure beads as a strange commodity to live in, and offers a high price of eight hundred taels. Baozhu is in charge of the guest room, and the usual reward is only one or two taels, but she has accumulated for many years, and she has only saved more than six hundred taels of silver in total. Seeing that she had reached the age of fifteen, she would be sold into a brothel in another year, not to mention whether she could scrape together nearly two hundred taels of silver to redeem herself in one year, that is, if she could make up enough money, she was alone, helpless, and out of the Mianxiu Pavilion, but how did she make a living? I hope that with my appearance, if I can play a good piano, and then learn some poetry and literature, maybe I can be an oiran in the Qinglou, and do the work of selling art without selling my body, but a good piano is expensive, and it is not something she can afford to ask a pianist to teach the piano. Since there is no art to sell, it is inevitable to do that leather and meat business. She made up her mind that if she really got to that point, she would jump into the well, and she would be a hundred. Just now, she chatted with Ye Lan and said that her future life would be as cheap as grass, which was why she remembered this matter.
Now Ye Lan suddenly gave her boss a gold ingot, which was enough for five or six hundred taels of silver, which not only allowed her to scrape together enough money for redemption, but also left two or three hundred taels, enough for her to live in peace. She made up her mind in her heart that she wanted to use the money to build a cloth village, sell cloth, and do some ready-to-wear embroidery work, and it was not difficult to make a living with her own craftsmanship.
The ingots that Ye Lan casually rewarded were tantamount to a life-saving grace for the orb, but how could she not be grateful?
Ye Lan was puzzled in her heart and asked her why she was crying, Baozhu's heart fluctuated, and she couldn't wait for a long time to calm down. She was grateful to Ye Lan for the gift of silver, and she didn't hide it, she sobbed and said the matter, Ye Lan listened, her heart sighed with emotion, and secretly sighed that the life of ordinary people in the mortal world was so difficult, and took out two ingots from her arms and handed them to her. Baozhu refused to take it again this time, and wept and said: "Childe's gift to me is enough to save me from fire and water." Great kindness, there is no way to repay it, I really dare not be greedy enough to ask for the son's silver. ”
Seeing that she insisted on refusing to accept it, Ye Lan was no longer reluctant, reached out to help her wipe away her tears, and said softly: "Since you have scraped together enough money, go to your shopkeeper to redeem yourself, and you don't have to serve me here." ”
Baozhu shook his head and said, "The matter of redemption is not in a hurry. I don't know how long Childe will stay here, I will serve Childe for a few days, and I will repay him a little, and it will not be too late for Childe to go and redeem himself when Childe leaves. ”
Ye Lan also felt that he was quite in love with this girl, he was separated from Wen Feng, Yan Zhuoran and others, and he was feeling lonely, and Baozhu was willing to stay with him, which was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded at the moment, waved his hand, and the two ingots in his palm flashed away.
Seeing this, Baozhu's eyes widened and asked loudly, "Isn't Gongzi a cultivator?"
This Jade Rainbow City is the third largest city in the Nanhua Kingdom, there are more than ten large and small cultivation sects, and most of the residents in the city have come into contact with the cultivators, and they are not so surprised to see it. The Splendid Pavilion is one of the few big inns in Yuhong City, and it is also patronized by monks on weekdays. Baozhu once served a young girl who cultivated the truth, and once saw the woman's sword flying, which made her envious. At this time, she saw that the ingots in Ye Lan's hand disappeared out of thin air, just like the day when the Xiuzhen woman put the items into the "Qiankun bag", she was surprised, and she couldn't help but ask directly.
Ye Lan was careless for a while, and used the Qiankun bag in front of the treasure bead, and when she asked, it was not easy to hide it, so he scratched his head and said: "I know how many three-legged cats' Taoist skills, where can I be considered an immortal?"
Baozhu said happily: "I said that the demeanor of the son is not like a mortal, it turns out that he is really a fairy figure of cultivation!"
Ye Lan saw that Baozhu was full of reverence and her voice was sincere, and when she heard her praise, she couldn't help but feel a little fluttery. Baozhu remembered the demeanor of the maiden Sword's flying when he saw it, and couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and said softly: "I once saw a goddess fairy stepping on the fairy sword and going straight into the sky, and now I still feel amazed when I think about it. I heard that you monks have magic weapons, but I don't know what treasures Gongzi uses, can you open my eyes?"
"What's wrong with that. Ye Lan flipped his palm and took out the Xuanbing Fire Fan, stuffed it into the treasure bead's hand, and continued: "But I don't use a sword recently, so I use this fan instead." ”
Baozhu looked down and saw an extra folding fan in his hand, which was dark and inconspicuous. She carefully unfolded the folding fan, flipped it over and over several times, and saw that the front of the fan was painted, and the inscription on the reverse side was not only faint and slightly warm from the handle of the fan, but there was no peculiarity at all.
She felt slightly disappointed, closed the fan and handed it back to Ye Lan, and chuckled: "Can the fan also be used as a magic weapon? I thought that magic weapons were all fairy swords." ”
Ye Lan observed the words and looks, and saw her disappointment in Xuan Bing's separation from the fire fan, and felt slightly funny in her heart, took the folding fan back to the dantian, and chuckled: "I also have the fairy sword." With a wave of his palm, the Shocking Sword flashed out and lay in front of the orb.
Baozhu only felt that the blue light was dazzling, and he was startled and took two steps back. When he saw the blue fairy sword floating in front of him, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, his eyes were full of amazement, joy, and awe, he took a step forward and slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the sword body, but his fingertips stretched out an inch away from the sword but stopped, obviously not daring to touch this majestic immortal treasure.
Ye Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw her expression. Baozhu was engrossed in looking at the Shocking Sword, which made Ye Lan's laughter startled, his fingers retracted like an electric shock, gave Ye Lan a blank look, and stomped his feet lightly and said, "Childe laughs at me!"
Ye Lan stopped laughing, shook his head, withdrew the Shocking Sword back into the sea of qi, and said secretly: "I laugh at you, this little girl is so ignorant, although the Shocking Sword is precious, how can it be compared to the Xuanbing Fire Fan? However, don't say that you, a mortal, are countless times more knowledgeable than me, but when you first saw this fan, you couldn't recognize its wonders......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of Wen Feng, Eldest Sun Wenquan and others, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
He originally wanted to study Xuantian Wuji Gong alone, but he had already made a statement to let the treasure bead retreat, but who knew that the reward for money led to a twist and turn, and the two of them went to life. Baozhu remembered Ye Lan's previous instructions, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Childe, you can study with peace of mind, I will wait in the outhouse, and Childe can call me if he has something." ”
Ye Lan shook his head and smiled: "Where do I want to study, I just want to practice a kung fu." I didn't tell you who I am a monk before, so I asked you to avoid it. Now that you know, it's time to stay and help me sharpen my ink, so I can copy the mantra from the fan. ”
When Baozhu heard this, his face was full of doubts, and he frowned and asked, "How can there be a formula on the fan?" ”
Ye Lan thought to himself: "This is not easy to explain. He took out the folding fan, pointed to the four words of Xuan Bing and Lihuo, and said: "There are many small words in these four words, and you can't see the ...... with your eyes," he said, put his left hand on the sea of qi, and continued: "Put this fan in your belly, and look at it with your heart, and you can see the mantra of the exercises." ”
Baozhu smirked, pointed to the palm that Ye Lan put on his belly and said, "Childe fooled me? I know that you monks call this place Dantian Qihai." ”
Ye Lan smiled: "Oops! It turns out that the Baozhu girl is an expert, I pulled the cowhide indiscriminately and was exposed." ”
Baozhu covered his mouth and smiled: "In front of Immortal Ye, I dare to admit that I am an expert, but I only know a little bit about it." ”
Baozhu has been serving in the inn for a long time, although he is young, he is very skilled in dealing with people, and he has developed a set of skills to observe words and colors, she Meng Yelan gave silver to save her life, and she was very grateful in her heart, and knew that this Engong was actually a fairy figure of cultivation, and she was even more respectful, she didn't dare to laugh with him at will, but after talking, she found that this Engong had no shelf, and her words were amiable, so she was no longer restrained, while laughing casually with Ye Lan, she took the inkstone, poured in some water, pulled the sleeve of his shirt with his left hand, and carefully studied ink for Ye Lan.
