Chapter 5 First Encounter with Li Xueyan
Li Yi was in a good mood, but he was interrupted by life, anger was born from the side of the bladder, straightened his body, his eyes seemed to be forward, his face was serious, and his tongue was full of spring thunder: "What are you going to do!" ”
I saw several officers and soldiers guarding the city standing at the tall Luoyang City Gate, and one of the leaders was named Diao Shoucai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is tall and mighty, but he has a beard and mung bean eyes. Diao Shoucai saw that Li Yi was wearing a brocade suit, with a sword across his waist, and a horse in his hand, he thought he could extort him, but he didn't expect to be a hard stubble, but he was a city defender, and there were people above, so he raised his head and looked directly at Li Yi: "What do you say I should do, I have to pay the entrance fee when I enter the city, this is the rule!" ”
"Hua Cha, what is the entrance fee to the city, master, I have come all the way from Maoshan to here, how come I have never heard of it!"
"Humph! This is Luoyang! You should be your country village! This city entrance fee is the latest policy of the city lord, and I will charge you a few pennies to build Luoyang City! Hum! Ignorant dirt buns! ”
"Click, master, my little temper, I..." Li Yi was just about to get angry when he heard a loud shout.
"Since the founding of Gaozu, I have never heard of income city fees, you are indiscriminately taxing, this is a capital crime of killing your head!" I saw a luxurious carriage coming from afar, followed by more than 20 guards, and the person who spoke was really an old man who was driving, and it seemed that he was a housekeeper.
"Humph! What kind of indiscriminate taxation, I don't understand the head killer! I'm just doing what I'm told, and the rest has nothing to do with me! Diao Shoucai saw the posture of the person who came, and knew that it was either rich or expensive, and it was definitely not something he could afford to provoke, so he spoke a little aggressively.
"Bold! You..."
"Uncle Ming, let's go to the city!" The old butler was about to reprimand, but he heard a crisp silver bell sound from inside the car!
"Yes! Miss! After the old housekeeper agreed, he took out a sign and showed it to Diao Shoucai: "Things that have no eyesight, we are people from Rencheng Wangfu, and we won't let go!" ”
Diao Shoucai was shocked when he saw the token, and immediately knew that he was in trouble, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to let him go.
The old housekeeper snorted coldly, then looked at Li Yi, and saw that Li Yi was dignified and had an extraordinary temperament. He wanted to get married, so he said to Li Yi: "This little brother, how about going into the city together?" ”
Li Yi saw that the old housekeeper's eyes were soft, and he knew that someone was helping him, so he bowed: "Thank you for the old man's help, please first!" ”
The old butler nodded, and drove into the city. Li Yi let go of the side, when the carriage passed by Li Yi, he saw a small head suddenly sticking out of it, looking at Li Yi curiously, Li Yi fixed his eyes, it was the young lady who had just spoken, thirteen or fourteen years old, with a standard melon seed face, willow leaf curved eyebrows and long eyelashes, black bright big eyes, a small nose and a playful mouth, like a hibiscus out of the water, beautiful and youthful.
Li Yi hurriedly showed a smile that he thought was warm and handsome, but the young lady in the car turned red and quickly retracted her head into the car!
"It's so easy to be shy! However, if the women of the Tang Dynasty are all so beautiful, then I will not have to swing the tail of the dragon every day in the future! Li Yi smiled and glanced at the night jade lion with a disgusted face. Leading the horse into the city, when passing by Diao Shoucai, he glanced at him indifferently, and didn't say anything, a dog foul language in public is his inferior nature, but if he cares with a dog in public, it is a problem of his own quality and cultivation!
After entering the city, Li Yi looked around curiously, the wide streets, the lively shops, and the crowded crowd all indicated that this was a flowery capital. Although it lacks a modern atmosphere, the antique Luoyang City still makes Li Yi, who has been in Maoshan for 14 years, extremely excited. Feel and see all the way, stop and go.
Li Yi went to a shop selling animal fur first, picked a piece of black python skin, and asked the boss to help sew a scabbard for the cold wind bayonet, half an hour later, Li Yi got a black scabbard, put the cold wind bayonet into it, and then re-tied the cold wind in the trouser tube of the left leg and hid it, this is what he saves his life, and he must pay attention to it. In the end, Li Yi stopped in front of an inn called "Come Again".
The second child in the store saw the distinguished customer coming to the door, and hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Oops! Is the guest officer sharpened or staying in the hotel! You're inside please! ”
Hearing such familiar lines, Li Yi was also in a good mood: "Open me an upper room and feed me the best forage for this BMW, he has a bad temper, be careful!" Then the handsome person gave the child more than a dozen dollars.
"Howler! Guest, don't worry! Xiao Er got the money, the smile on his face was even bigger, he took the jade lion of the night, and shouted at the store: "The shopkeeper, one distinguished guest, one room above." When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly came out to greet him with a smile on his face.
Li Yi touched the jade lion's erect neck, explained to him, and walked upstairs with the shopkeeper.
Not long after, came to a room, clean, tidy and generous. Li Yi was very satisfied, looked around and sent the shopkeeper away, then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, unloaded the purple box and baggage, and lay on the bed to rest.
Half an hour later, Li Yi got up, washed his face casually and opened the package, only to see that there were some small gourds, some personal clothes, a hundred taels of silver and more than a dozen copper coins.
Among them, the silver was given by Senior Brother Pan, although Li Yi's master and senior brother were only Taoist priests, they were deeply respected by the emperors of previous dynasties, so Maoshan never lacked these things outside the body. The clothes are bought in the ready-to-wear store, although Li Yi is not used to wearing them, but now is not the time to wear "strange clothes", as for those small gourds are Li Yi's most precious things at present, this is the perfume he tried to make when he was in Maoshan, after all, he is now helpless, he must have a stable source of income, although a hundred taels of silver is a lot, but for Li Yi to spend them is only a matter of minutes, he has no house and no car, I heard that it is not easy to live in Chang'an, Li Yi feels that he is very short of money.
So Li Yi took precautions, he had already begun to develop perfume when he didn't go out of the mountain, although the production of perfume is complicated, but simple perfume is still difficult to defeat him, who is known as the golden oil, Li Yi still has a lot of things in his mind to make money, but his current conditions, the development of perfume is already very good, thanks to a lot of wild flowers in Maoshan, he does not need any research and development costs, well! It's a real wildflower!
He has developed six scents of jasmine, lavender, clove, orchid, rose and gardenia, all of which have been carefully documented, with only two bottles of each sample. Li Yi hid all the important things in the most secret place of the room like a baby, and then took the ancient ink sword and went downstairs.
After going downstairs, Li Yi made a good "threat" to the shopkeeper and asked him to take care of the things in his room, otherwise... Huh!
After Li Yi left the inn, he rode the night jade lion and wandered around the street, and after half an hour, the night was about to fall. Li Yi came to the largest inn in Luoyang City-Yibin Building.
Xiao Er came out to greet him, tied the horse, went upstairs, private room, signature dishes! After some action, Li Yi sat in the private room and drank tea while enjoying the night view of Luoyang.
Li Yi was watching intently, but was awakened by the noise outside the door. Li Yi didn't want to deal with it, but the noise had seriously affected his mood for dinner, so Li Yi got up and pushed the door and looked out.
As soon as Li Yi left the door, he saw that the shopkeeper at the corner of the aisle outside the door was explaining to someone in a low voice, but because those people were in the corner, Li Yi couldn't see it!
"Hey, Li Gongzi, it's really not a small deliberate embarrassment, you also know that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so there are a lot more people coming to eat in the small shop than usual, this is not the last private room to give a son a quarter of an hour ago!" The shopkeeper was so anxious that he burned his buttocks, and happened to see Li Yi coming out of the room. hurriedly walked over and smiled at Li Yi: "This son!" I'm really sorry, it's noisy for you to eat, but I can't help it, I can't afford to mess with these people! ”
Li Yi saw that the shopkeeper had a good attitude, but he didn't care. nodded, and prepared to go back to the room for dinner, as for who was around the corner, he was not interested, and he didn't want to cause trouble, after all, he didn't plan to stay in Luoyang for a long time, Chang'an was his home.
It's just that things in this world can't be avoided by hiding. As soon as Li Yi turned around, he heard a man's voice around the corner.
"This brother, I'm really sorry, disturbing your dinner, but the family came to the distinguished guest today, so I came to this Yibin Building to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, this is not just happened to be no room, because the distinguished guest of the family is a female dependent, it is not suitable to eat in the hall, so. Can you ask my brother to make it convenient and give this room to so-and-so, brother today, all your expenses will be invited by so-and-so, how about it? ”
Li Yi instinctively frowned when he heard this, after all, whoever was involved in this matter was bad enough. It's just that this young man in his early twenties has a personable demeanor, an elegant temperament, and a kind speech, although he is not rich or expensive at first glance, but there is no domineering appearance between the words, he seems to be a true gentleman, so Li Yi doesn't want to care so much, just when he wants to refuse, he hears another voice from the corner: "Cousin, if you don't have it, let's go back to the house for dinner!" It's okay! ”
When Li Yi heard the voice, he felt familiar for a while, and when he looked back, he didn't see anyone coming, it seemed that the female dependents were embarrassed to show up. Li Yi hasn't spoken to a few women since he came out of the mountain, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized! "It's her!"
Li Yi remembered that this voice was the woman he saw in the afternoon, since others had helped him, it was difficult for Li Yi to refuse! After thinking about it, he said to the son in front of him: "This brother, to be honest, although I am deeply sympathetic to the luck of my brother, I don't want to give the room to others, and I don't have this money for food, but your lady seems to be the one who helped me this afternoon, so I can't refuse, so please ask your lady, just say that I am the prince who rode a white horse in the afternoon, and ask her if she would like to eat together.
The son on the opposite side frowned instantly when he heard Li Yi's words, after all, Li Yi's words were a little frivolous in this era, but he saw that Li Yi's expression was serious, not like such a frivolous person, so after thinking a little, he nodded and went back to ask.
After a while, the boy came with two ladies and two maids, one of whom was the beautiful woman in the afternoon, and the other was also a young girl, but she was sixteen or seventeen years older than the young lady, and she was born with a beautiful and beautiful nature.
"Hua Cha, why is the water and soil of the Tang Dynasty so good, and everyone who comes out is a big beauty" Li Yi muttered in a surprised whisper, straightened up, straightened his chest, raised his head, and showed a warm smile: "Xiaosheng Li Yi, Li Wenyong is polite here!" ”
