XVIII. Chance Encounters
Cao family?! The most well-known Cao family in this Bianliang City can only be Queen Cao's maiden family, that is, Cao Guo's uncle's family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info and dare to say that, it's definitely the Cao family! Could it be that this hot girl and her goddess are both daughters of the Cao family, isn't that goddess the county lord, and at worst she has to be a county lord? If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult for you to marry a goddess! Wait, that's all later, the thing in front of me is that she didn't seduce the goddess, at most, she was stupid thinking about that sentence, and it has something to do with herself!
"Ahem!" Chen Yan endured the pain and said with a smile: "That, Miss Cao, we have to be reasonable, don't we?" I just said that sentence, you just said that I seduced your little sister, it is a bit exaggerated, that is, to pull me to the Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Yin can't do anything to me, right? ”
Miss Cao thought about it, although she was used to being arrogant on weekdays, but she still knew some of the truth, just now she was just angry and said those words, but she didn't give this thief-eyed scholar some color today, isn't her little sister suffering in vain these days? !
Chen Yan's mind was naturally much faster than this Miss Cao, and before she could make any moves, Chen Yan said: "In the next moment, write out the poem completely and give it to Miss, so that Sister Ling will not worry anymore." ”
"It's good! So do it! Count you as acquaintances. ”
For his future sexual well-being, Chen Yan didn't care about plagiarism, so he went into the back room, took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and spread it out to write, in fact, there are not too many poems that he can remember in his head, but this "Mulan Ci" can definitely be remembered, after all, this poem is very coquettish, and it is very good for his sister or something. He wrote a sentence, and Miss Cao read a sentence: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan." Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain and zero bells did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. ”
"That's it!" Chen Yan blew the ink, turned his head to look at Miss Cao and said, "I don't know what Sister Ling's name is, and it's easy to settle the money in the next place." ”
Miss Cao hadn't broken free from the artistic conception of this poem at this time, and when she heard Chen Yan ask, she subconsciously replied: "Zhao Jinxi." ”
"Ugh!" Chen Yan looked at her puzzled and said, "Dare to ask Miss Fang's name?" ”
"Cao Huanting. Hey, why do you ask my name? ”
Chen Yan said with a smile: "Why is Sister Ling's surname Zhao and Miss's surname Cao?" ”
Cao Huanting glanced at him and said, "Just settle the payment quickly, there is so much nonsense from there." ”
Chen Yan then wrote in block letters below: "On October 13 of the fourth year of Huangyou, the cold house met Huanting, and then gave it to Jinxi. ”
Cao Huanting snatched the piece of paper and said with a small mouth: "This word is not bad." Come on, I'll let you go today, I have to go back and show my little sister. After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
Chen Yan rubbed his chest, and said in his heart that this chick is really hot enough, who married her is really unlucky! But this kick is really not in vain, at least I know the name of my goddess, and maybe she still lives in Cao Mansion, since this Cao Huanting calls her a little sister, it must be a cousin or something, right? But, where is this Cao Mansion?
Bianliang City in winter is still prosperous, but there are fewer business travelers from the south to the north on the street. Malatang's business is getting better and better, and the daily income is also very expensive, Chen Yan has also been there a few times, and he is relieved to see that the people in the store are already familiar with the road. Out of the shop, Chen Yan walked to Qingxuan City, he planned to find some charcoal to burn, this coal is coal. At this time, the common people mostly used charcoal for heating, and charcoal was mostly used for ironmaking, and the price was much higher than charcoal. Chen Yan thinks that charcoal burning produces low heat, so he will go to find charcoal to keep warm.
Before he reached Qingxuan City, Chen Yan saw that there was a grocery store next to him selling charcoal, so he walked over and asked, the price was not cheap, a bag cost fifty yuan, nearly five times more expensive than charcoal. He wasn't short of money now, so he left the grocery store with a bag, intending to go home and burn it.
"Chen Gongzi."
Chen Yan turned his head and saw a woman wearing a veil walking over, although she was wearing a thick cotton coat, she still couldn't hide her graceful figure, among the women Chen Yan knew, only Gu Qiaoxi had such a wonderful figure. It's just that why is this Gu Qiaoxi alone today, and he didn't bring a maidservant.
"Miss Gu! What a coincidence! Are you here to buy coal, too?
Gu Qiaoxi shook his head, came to him, and said in a low voice: "The slave family is just bored in their hearts and came out for a walk, but they didn't expect to meet Gongzi here." It's just, what is the use of Childe buying this charcoal? ”
"Warm up! Since you have encountered it, why don't you go to the cold house to have a cup of tea and warm up? ”
Gu Qiaoxi looked at him and nodded slowly. Chen Yan was dumbfounded, he was just polite, and he wanted to take it seriously.
After the repair, Chen Yan's house is naturally very different from before, the room is warm like spring, Gu Qiaoxi looked around, felt quite curious, pointed to the wall of fire and asked, "Childe, what is this?" ”
"Earthen heating. Oh, yes, you just have to touch it. Chen Yan really can't explain it, after all, most people in this era use braziers for heating, and no matter how good people are, they just use a ground dragon, and this kang and fire wall are estimated to be used by no one in the Great Song Dynasty except for themselves.
Gu Qiaoxi reached out and touched the green bricks that looked like a wall, and suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Yan in surprise and said, "Warm? Is this what Childe thinks? ”
"It looks like it's in the book. Sit down for a while, and I'll make tea. ”
Chen Yan boiled some water and soaked in a good dragon well, which was sent by the shopkeeper Liu a few days ago, and Chen Yan accepted it politely, and it was just used to entertain guests today.
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Yan felt that this rich man was different, and the taste of this tea was too good. Gu Qiaoxi took off the veil when he entered the house to show his respect for Chen Yan, and after taking a shallow sip, he said: "Superior Longjing, but Gongzi's tea-making skills are still a little lacking." ”
"Naturally, it's good to have tea to drink here with me, so don't pick and choose. The quality of life has to be improved slowly, and if you can get a glass door or window or something, it is estimated that it will be warmer. ”
"Glass?"
"Well, it's Ruri! The kind that is monolithic, transparent. It's definitely much better than this window paper. ”
"But the price of this glass is very expensive, and it is easy to break, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Chen Yan scratched his head, thinking that it was right, now there are still hundreds of years before the Industrial Revolution, and now the price of this glass is not much lower than that of crystal, hey!
Gu Qiaoxi looked at him, as if he wanted to stop talking, Chen Yan asked casually: "Gu everyone has something to say, I don't have any taboos." ”
"That "Mulan Ci" was written by Childe?"
When Chen Yan heard this, he almost sprayed tea, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" I mean, how do you know about that "Mulan Words"? ”
This time it was Gu Qiaoxi's turn to be surprised, she just asked, but she didn't expect that she really guessed it.
"A few days ago, I heard someone chant by chance, but I didn't know the author, and the slave family just guessed, but I didn't expect it to be really made by the son."
Bad things! Even Gu Qiaoxi knows it, even if it won't take long for it to spread, the power of this song is much greater than that song "Heavenly Fairy", what a sin! Brother Nalan, buddy, I'm sorry! No, it stands to reason that neither Cao Huanting nor Zhao Jinxi will be able to pass on this word.
Gu Qiaoxi obviously knew Chen Yan's doubts, so he said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the slave family was invited by the county lord to participate in a boudoir women's party, and the county lord inadvertently chanted it. ”
"The county lord? But what about Cao Huanting? ”
Gu Qiaoxi nodded and asked in surprise, "Childe also knows Lord Cao?" ”
