Chapter 43: The Extraordinary
The crowd let out a cry of surprise, and many began to flee in all directions, lest they would be harmed by the pond fish.
Yu Hongye behind Xue Shao was frightened and trembled!
"Big black cow, don't mess around! Zhao Laosan just spent a few dollars to invite you to make a scene, and I will pay ten times to buy you to stop! "Yu Hongye can be regarded as a hurry to make wisdom.
Ten times?
Da Wuniu's fist suddenly stopped and glared at Yu Hongye, it seemed that he was really "working for money".
"Miss Yu, I'll help you save this money." Xue Shao was not in a hurry, did not retreat or avoid, and pointed to his face, "Big black cow, fight here." Hurriedly. ”
"Death!" The big black cow gasped and stared at Xue Shao with a pair of bull eyes wide, and suddenly raised a fist the size of the bowl and dragged it to the bone.
"Ahh The crowd let out an exclamation, and many people subconsciously reached out to cover their faces, as if they were afraid to see Xue Shao being punched by the big black cow!
Xue Shao raised his face instead, sneered, and looked at the big black cow with his eyes open.
Eyes cold!
The big black cow widened his eyes and shook his fists, but he didn't knock it down for a long time.
"Yonghui Law Shu Volume 21, Article 302, brawl is to hit people with hands and feet, even if you are guilty." Xue Shao shook his head disdainfully, and recited together with his hands cut behind his back like a teacher, "Article 313, the person who beats your nobles, the main offender will be sentenced to three years in prison, and he will flow 3,000 miles."
"Guiyi" refers to the nobles in the Eight Councils.
Xue Shao paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Wounded and disabled, hang!" ”
The big black cow trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and suddenly his eyes widened to reveal that kind of "hell" look, and instantly like a ball that had been emptied of air wilted, without saying a word, he put away his fist and pulled away from the crowd, he fled in a hurry like a dog that had just been chopped off his tail.
Zhao Laosan's faces changed, as if they were facing a great enemy. Now even fools know that this boy in front of him is not only a nobleman with full confidence, but also an official who knows the laws of the country well!
Xue Shao said lightly: "The accomplice will be sentenced to two years in prison and two thousand miles." ”
Zhao Laosan hurriedly said: "I haven't done anything to you, and I haven't even raised my fist!" ”
It is said that the people don't fight with the officials, it's not that they don't want to fight, but they can't fight! ——If someone who is an official moves a law out, the people will die properly!
Xue Shao sneered: "I have already said just now, from now on this shop is my private territory, and you troublemakers are not welcome to enter." If you trespass with bad intentions and malicious intentions, I have the right to sanction or hand over to the government for severe punishment. Do you need me to memorize two more of the Torah to you? ”
"No, no need...... Zhao Laosan and the others hurriedly retreated, moving away from the "38th line" that Xue Shao drew on his toes.
"That's very good." Xue Shao sneered, stepped forward and raised his hand to point at Zhao Laosan and the group, "You are all businessmen, don't you know the truth of harmony and wealth?" If you gather a crowd to smash other people's property, you deserve to be punished. Now, you either go to the yamen to confess your guilt, or you will compensate ten times for the broken things, and apologize to Miss Yu in public and promise never to do it again. Choose one or the other. ”
"Compensation, we compensation! Pay now! Shopkeeper Yu, it's our fault! You have a lot of adults, don't be like our unreasonable and reckless stupid men, we will never dare to do it again in the future! Zhao Laosan and the others were almost frightened, and shouted nonsense.
Xue Shao looked back at Yu Hongye, "What do you think?" ”
Yu Hongye frowned helplessly, and hugged his fists at Zhao Laosan and the others: "Everyone, we are all peers and neighbors, and we must have misunderstood before. It's easy to solve the problem and it's not easy to tie the knot, and Momiji hopes that this matter will end here! ”
"Good, good!" Of course, Zhao Laosan and the others couldn't ask for it, and a group of men hugged their fists together, "Shopkeeper Yu is so generous, I'll wait to obey!" Shame, shame! ”
Yu Hongye breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists, "Childe, they haven't committed a great evil, why don't you raise your noble hand and spare them?" After all, it is a neighbor of the same industry, and you can't see you when you look up. ”
"Childe?" Zhao Laosan and the others were dumbfounded, Yu Hongye, you are a pit girl, why didn't you say it earlier?!
"Rao can be spared, and the compensation cannot be less!" Xue Shao waved his hand, "Get out!" ”
Zhao Laosan and the others were like a group of frightened birds and beasts, and they fled in a hurry.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Yu Hongye let out a long breath, and looked at Xue Shao's side face a few times, his eyes were very complicated, and his heart was even more mixed.
No matter how shrewd and capable she is, Yu Hongye is a woman after all. It is a woman who is born with an expectation of men's care and protection.
If it weren't for Xue Shao's appearance today, Yu Hongye couldn't imagine what would evolve next.
For the first time in her life, Yu Hongye felt that there was a "powerful" man around her as a support, which was so important to a woman!
The rest of the shop sat down in relief, all panting in a cold sweat.
"Miss Yu, you're fine, right?" Xue Shao smiled, like a person who had nothing to do.
"It's really thanks to Xue Gongzi's timely action, otherwise, today's consequences would be really unimaginable." Yu Hongye lowered his eyebrows and bent down and hugged his fist, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Xue, Yu Hongye owes you a big favor again." ”
"It's a gesture." Xue Shao smiled, "Actually, I haven't thought about it carefully, will there be a beauty after the hero saves the beauty?" By the way, there is no hope of reciprocation for kindness, and the ancient sages seem to have taught it so. ”
Yu Hongye's face flushed and laughed, and he quickly changed the topic, "Is Xue Gongzi passing by Fang Qiao today, or is it ......?"
"I'm here to find you." Xue Shao glanced out of the door, Li Xianyuan's half-hung magic stick, I don't know where he ran to.
"Does Xue Gongzi have anyone else with him?"
"I'm going to take a look." Xue Shao walked outside the store and saw that not far from the street, Li Xianyuan was leading two horses, talking to the stall owner in his forties with long hair and a long shirt at a "straight iron mouth" hexagram stall.
Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, "This magic stick, he won't forget his old job wherever he goes!" ”
"Xue Gongzi, is that your friend?" Yu Hongye stood beside him and asked.
"Sort of!" Xue Shao smiled, "It's not in tune, a fox friend and a dog friend." ”
At this time, the long-haired man who set up the stall respectfully held a bag of things in both hands, Li Xianyuan reached out to take it unceremoniously, led the horse and turned around and walked towards the store. The long-haired man bowed to Li Xianyuan's back, as if he was sending off his seniors.
"What good things have you done?" Waiting for Li Xianyuan to walk in front of him, Xue Shao asked.
Li Xianyuan smiled hesitantly, and swept a red cloth bag in his hand, "That person is not skilled, and he also learns to set up a stall here to tell the hexagrams." I was afraid that he would mislead people's children, so I gave me a few words. He gave me some wine money as a gift of thanks! ”
"Xue Gongzi, this friend of yours is really a wonderful person." Yu Hongye couldn't help laughing, "It's not easy to cheat money from charlatans!" ”
"Ha Luha, I've won awards!" Li Xianyuan bowed to Yu Hongye, "Xiaosheng Li Xianyuan." This girl is so good-looking, where has Xiaosheng ever been lucky enough to witness the girl's face? ”
"Don't be close, how could she have seen a liar like you?" Xue Shao shook his head disdainfully, "Li Xianyuan, you are really righteous!" I'm being beaten up by a bunch of people here, and you don't help but run to cheat money! “
"Brother Xue, don't laugh, just Xiaosheng's thin arms and legs, at most it will be a disservice. Xiaosheng stayed away to reduce casualties. Li Xianyuan laughed sarcastically, "Besides, if those market barbarians can bully you, unless the sun rises in the west and the river flows backwards!" ”
Yu Hongye smiled.
"See, this is a friend!" Xue Shao sneered twice with disdain, and then said, "Miss Yu, find a quiet place and let's talk." ”
"Momiji is really rude! Please, two! ”
Li Tang adopted Taoism as the state religion, but Buddhism was also prevalent. Among the residents of Chang'an, many people advocate the Buddha's eating habit of "skipping lunch and not eating". If you want to have a meal, it is usually only at noon, so that it is respectful.
Therefore, Yu Hongye placed tea to entertain Xue Shao and Li Xianyuan, the two distinguished guests who were officials.
Tea really began to officially enter people's daily life in the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is a farmer working in the fields or the emperor and queen in the palace, they all drink tea, and each has a different way of drinking, and a unique "tea culture" has gradually formed.
Xue Shao remembered very well that An Xiaorou, who preferred to drink tea, once taught him like a professor to get rid of his illiteracy, and told him that the first book in the world to comprehensively record and study tea, "The Book of Tea", was written by the "Tea Saint Lu Yu" of the Tang Dynasty. The Book of Tea has a detailed record from the origin and use of tea, to the skills of making tea and the selection of tea utensils. It can be said that the tea culture of the world began to originate in the Tang Dynasty; The Book of Tea can be called the theoretical originator of all tea ceremonies.
When Xue Shao and Li Xianyuan entered Yu Hongye's private tea room, they had a feeling of brightness. No one would have thought that Yu Hongye, a businesswoman, would specially prepare an elegant and antique room for drinking tea. The brass mats on the floor, the brocade checkered couch, and the self-designed and custom-made coffee table are like works of art. The four walls are only painted with tung oil to retain the original color and texture of the wood, and on the middle wall hangs a dignified human-sized character "tea", and there are no other ornaments.
Invite the two distinguished guests to sit down in the tea room, and Yu Hongye will go to change clothes.
After Li Xianyuan looked around the room for a while, he sighed: "I can't imagine that Miss Yu, who is mixed up in the business, is still a graceful, delicate and connotative person. ”
"Or what do you think?" Xue Shao smiled.
"Oh, I should have thought of it." Li Xianyuan smiled dryly, "There must be something extraordinary about being able to match the merchant girl who intersects with the prince of Lantian!" ”
"Shut your mouth."
Later, Yu Hongye came. She changed out of the men's hufu that she was used to on weekdays, and put on a very traditional plain Hanfu.
The right shirt and cardigan are worn to the ground, and the robe has large sleeves and long skirts. After entering the room, Yu Hongye knelt down, danced with both hands and spread out the big sleeves and then put it in front of him, pressed his right hand with his left hand, put his hand on the ground and put it in front of his knees, and fell down in soothing, and his forehead touched the ground in front of his hand.
This is the "chief of the gods" in the traditional "nine bows" of the Han nation, and it is the most respectful etiquette.
Nowadays, the concept of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Yu Hongye and a businesswoman want to entertain two officials, especially a noble son like Xue Shao, and the etiquette can be said to be used to the extreme.
If you can't punish a doctor, you can't give a courtesy.
Since Yu Hongye was so formal, Xue Shao and Li Xianyuan nodded and it could be regarded as a return salute.
"Miss Yu doesn't have to be polite." Xue Shao said, "You and I should be friends." ”
"Xue Gongzi is humble and intersecting, and he is the great benefactor of Red Leaves, and Red Leaves dare not slack off in the slightest." After the salute, Yu Hongye walked to the coffee table with a smile on her face, cleaned her hands with wet wipes, and then slowly and calmly unfolded the tea set.
This is the first time Xue Shao has seen Yu Hongye wearing women's clothes, although it is a plain and traditional common skirt Hanfu, but it adds a bit of softness and charm to Yu Hongye, and the manners are talked and smiled, and they are capable and free, and the whole person's temperament is quite elegant and intellectual.
Her appearance is not amazing, let alone enchanting, if you want to describe it in one word - comfortable.
The natural femininity of women is naturally revealed from her words and deeds and smiles, which makes people feel very relaxed, comfortable, quiet and reassuring. Being by her side, it seems that there is a kind of relaxation and comfort like a spring breeze, without a sense of pressure and constraints, just like returning to your own home, and your body and mind are relaxed.
