(The update tried my best, and the poor collection of less kept dropping, alas, a little chilling.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Thanks to the friends who are still supporting, thank you)
On this day, Ma Xiu, who was quite a drinker, was drunk, sat down on a wooden chair, spoke intermittently, and laughed loudly when he reached the place where he rose. As if on weekdays, he was talking about things in the north and south of the world in a dissolute manner, but at some point, his eyes were red, and faintly, a touch of crystal could be seen spinning.
Stretched out his sleeves and wiped them on his face, Ma Xiu laughed again, how could Xiao Wu and the others who were drunk and smoky look at him could see that several people were pulling and talking nonsense, while Wu Shuang'er was unbearably tugging at the corner of Liu Xi's clothes.
Alas......
Looking at Ma Xiu, Liu Xi sighed lightly, only after drinking can he show his true temperament, maybe let him cry and make a fuss in order to eliminate the long-standing depression in his heart. It's just that Ma Xiu still doesn't forget to wipe away her tears in her drunkenness, and uses laughter to cover up her depression and depression.
Ma Xiu's past grievances Liu Xi is not clear, but the grief of not being able to return home is deeply touched, and he dreams back at midnight, how many tears of hard thinking are left under the cotton pillow?
Compared with him, Ma Xiu is lucky, at least the home is still there, when the affection is unbearable, sneaking back to Nanshu, and finally being able to see a dear relative who can't give up, even if he secretly takes a look, it is a hundred times stronger than the separation between his two lives.
Suppressing the feeling of kinship that poured out of his heart, Liu Xi and the drunk Ma Xiu and the three of them were helped into the house, and later handed over to Qin Yi and Tian Xun'er to take care of, drink a bowl of hangover soup, and then sleep, probably able to ease the strength of this wine.
But Liu Xi's estimation was wrong, until the night was sprinkled, when the fragrant dinner was served, the three of them did not wake up, and he went to the house to take a look, several people were sleeping and whispering, it seems that the wine made by this distillation is very good.
A little happy, after dinner, Liu Xi took out a hundred taels of silver and threw it directly to Zhang Xiaoquan, but the latter was really shocked, the heavy purse was placed in his hand, and his legs were a little weak, but fortunately, he subconsciously grabbed the purse, so as not to let the silver ingot fall to the ground.
"Xiaoquan, in the future, this 'Mantang Spring' will be handed over to you to take care of, and if you make money, you can take twenty percent."
"Smack!"
As soon as Liu Xi's words were finished, a crisp sound was heard, Zhang Xiaoquan's face was full of shock, the purse that was clenched was taken out of his hand, and fell heavily on the floor in the study, and a few ingots of silver jumped out playfully, shining brightly under the light of the candle.
"Childe, I can't help it, Zhang Xiaoquan was originally under the fence, surviving for a long time, living a life that is worse than death, if he didn't meet Childe, I'm afraid he is still suffering, how can he have a comfortable place to live now?"
said, very solemnly saluted Liu Xi, then lowered his body to pick up the silver that fell out, wiped it on the cyan trousers he was wearing on his legs, and then carefully put it into his purse, and said with a smile, "My mother has warned, people in the world, you must know how to repay your kindness, what the son does is no less than the grace of reinvention for Zhang Xiaoquan, and being able to do things for the son is Xiaoquan's blessing, how dare you covet yellow and white things." ā
Shaking his head with a smile, Liu Xi got up from the wooden chair behind the bookcase, stepped forward, and stared at this thin young man, perhaps Liu Xi had asked Qu Lang to send some food to his mother and son, and his pale face was more ruddy.
Being stared at by Liu Xi at this moment, Zhang Xiaoquan's eyes once again appeared panicked, looking around randomly, and finally like the first time, he looked down at the green bricks under his feet, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Xiaoquan, I'm going to take the scientific exam, and it's not suitable for business, so I can only bother you to take care of this wine. In the future, the business will definitely get bigger and bigger, and the silver will be used up by himself, how can Liu Xi use it up alone? You and I are our own people, of course, we must share the blessings, and the dividends of 20% with you are not much at all. Don't shirk any more, Koizumi, doing business is your dream, and I'm just here to help you start to realize it. ā
After a pause, Liu Xi's smile remained unchanged, and he patted Zhang Xiaoquan on the shoulder, "Of course, if you have money in the future and want to do business alone, Liu Xi will also help you." ā
The emaciated shoulders of his subordinates trembled, and he saw Zhang Xiaoquan shaking his head again and again, "Childe, don't say that, Zhang Xiaoquan will be at the disposal of Gongzi in this life and this life, and he will never give birth to two hearts, if he violates such an oath one day, he will be willing to be thundered by the sky!" ā
Zhang Xiaoquan said these words very anxiously, his eyes were full of determination, and then he looked at Liu Xi eagerly, this child who wanted to be misunderstood, was anxious in his heart, and panicked to say everything to show what he thought in his heart.
"I believe in you."
Liu Xi's smile was even better than before, like the spring breeze blowing outside the house, warm and warm.
After a few more words of gossip, Liu Xi instructed Zhang Xiaoquan about the secrecy of the wine brewing and the shop, and the latter took advantage of the darkness of the night to go back, with his hands in his bulging arms, thinking that this silver was regarded as something more important than his life.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xi, who was about to sit on the wooden chair and write with a pen, called Zhang Xiaoquan, who was full of apprehension, "Xiaoquan, money is just something outside the body, you don't need to value it so much, if one day, let you choose between silver and life, remember, choose the latter." ā
After a little thought, Zhang Xiaoquan put his hands in front of him, owed to Liu Xi, and then responded very seriously, "Thank you, Childe, Xiaoquan understands." ā
Later, the wooden door opened softly, and a wisp of breeze entered the study, swaying the lonely shadow of the oil lamp.
Half a month later, a shop called 'Drunken Wandering Fairy' in Jialing City opened, that day, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the shopkeeper was a young boy, the silk white shirt was very gorgeous, but it could not cover the immaturity of his face.
Some people recognized him as the abused teenager in the humble tea shop, and there was confusion in his heart, but it was only fleeting, after all, what a beautiful scenery Zhang Xiaoquan is now, who will remember his original hard days?
The shop is located in the most prosperous 'Fenghe Street' in Jialing City, the building is very elegantly decorated, the picture scrolls and books are all missing, there are mahogany carved counters on both sides, and dozens of porcelain urns are placed on the wooden shelves in the counter.
The blue and white porcelain of the wine urn is very beautiful, and more importantly, it is written with elegant ink characters.
'Lanling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light'.
'A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date'.
ā¦ā¦
The poems are very wonderful, and immediately some good people shook their heads and chanted out, but these verses are only half kui, such good sentences, but they are plainly missing half, it is really annoying tight, and the scholars who are quite good at the book immediately searched around, trying to find another part of the verses.
Of course, people who are not good at writing and writing also understand that what is sold here is alcohol.
Moreover, it only sells alcohol, and there is nothing else, which surprises the onlookers who are accustomed to having wine and food.
Before they came to their senses, they saw a couple of green-clothed children walking out, and the appearance of pink jade carvings was very cute. The little boy neatly saluted with everyone and stood outside the building, which was really unique.
"One hundred taels! Your wine is so expensive, is it better than the 'breeze dew' of 'Beijuxuan'? ā
Exclamations came, it was the sound of a good deed person asking for wine money, and suddenly, the onlookers all looked at each other, what kind of treasure is it, it is a hundred taels of silver, could it be the elixir and jade liquid drunk by the gods in the sky?
On that day, not a single urn of wine in the 'Drunken Wandering Immortal' was sold, but the sound of gongs and drums was still ringing hard, and countless people gathered around to watch, and when Zhang Xiaoquan closed the door and closed, one of them pouted and said, "I have said it a long time ago, this shop will close sooner or later, and a small urn of wine will cost a hundred taels of silver, so it's not crazy!" ā
The rest of the people all nodded yes, and the person who spoke naturally enjoyed it very much, so he waved his sleeves and took these people to a small wine shop a few streets away to drink a few glasses, and poured out the unprovoked anger in his heart.
