Chapter 66: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf (I)
About the time of the handlamp, the deserted study alley during the day gradually became lively.
Each family has come out of some green clothes and hats dressed up in small houses, each of them swept the snow in front of the door of their own study to sweep the street in front of their own study room sprinkled clean, the big bucket carried from the small corner door to send out the night incense, also handed over to those dung trucks to pull away, piggyback hands did not forget to quickly smoke the pine incense around the small corner door, so as not to leak down some night incense smell smoked for a while before the distinguished guests.
All kinds of freshly baked dim sum are naturally delivered by various time-honored brands by the hour, and the seasonal fruits are also enshrined by the farmers who grow fruit fields outside the city. The famous Eight Great Residences in Sijiu City, the Yan Cai Banquet and the Cantonese Cuisine Banquet set early in the Bada Spring are all packed in large food boxes and sent over, and the little guys who put the dishes have to wrap their shoes with green cloth before they can enter the study room, saying that they are afraid that the soil under their feet will be crushed and the blue brick floor and mahogany floor in the study room have just been scrubbed three times!
It coincided with the day of the tenth, and there were many buyers and sellers who were holding the account book and waiting next to the small corner door, waiting for the old bustard in charge of the book, the big teapot with a small handkerchief, and the hookah to come over, all nodding and saying hello in a honey voice, and then carefully handing the account book that had been prepared in his hand to the eyes of others, waiting for the old bustard and the big teapot to throw down more or less foreign money.
When the big lanterns lit in front of the doors of each study apartment were hung up, the gentlemen wearing elegant robes or suits and leather shoes appeared at the intersection of the study apartment. There are people who are familiar with each other, and they will bow and greet each other, and then walk towards the book apartment where they have booked their seats.
Slumped over and shrugged his shoulders and raised his voice, the big teapot at the door of the study room suddenly greeted their respective patrons. Before the people got closer, the voice full of compliments had already sounded an alley: "Hey, my boss Ren, if you don't come again, my baby girl will really look for you at home regardless of the ground!" You don't know, just beat you last night and left, my baby girl didn't blink all night, just talking about you"
"Oh, I'm burning high incense today, and I've opened my eyes here for a long time! Manager Cui, this gold watch on your wrist is the only one in Sijiu City, right? It's dark when you talk about this, but the gold watch on your wrist is a blink of an eye, and I think it's the sun coming out again?! ”
"Master, everything is ready for you! Is there a guest today? You go in first and sit down, I'm here to greet you, and I can't miss the master's business! Please show me again, what you want to invite tonight is Yang Gaoshen in the government of the Republic of China? ”
There was a study room where the guest had arrived early, and after welcoming the last guest into the study, the door was immediately closed. After half a pillar of incense, there was also the sound of guessing the boxing order and the sound of silk and bamboo in the closed book.
Cleaned up neatly and cleanly, the two large teapots that greeted the guests in spring had been standing at the door of the study apartment for more than half an hour, seeing that the sky was all dark, but there was still one guest who did not come to the door.
Secretly took out a small lump of cigarette paste from the slip in the sleeve and swallowed it, the big teapot Xing Laoba who was slanting his eyebrows sucked the irrepressible snot, and looked up at the big teapot white leper standing opposite him and shouted: "Who else is this *** who is here today?" It's dark when I see it, why haven't I come to the door yet? Don't call the yellow-faced woman at home so that she can't move? ”
He also touched a lump of cigarette paste and threw it into his mouth, and the white leper who was covered with dysentery with a melon skin hat rolled his eyes and shook his head: "This is really unspeakable!" The post that came to be handed over at the end of the day today was signed by Master Xiong who poked the pole on Zhushikouer Street, and it was Duan Ye, the head of the patrol police on Zhushikouer Street. And some of the characters who accompany them next to them, they are all famous Qing Ke films in Sijiu City."
Relying on the small pimple of cigarette paste to resist the addiction, Xing Laoba rolled his eyelids in surprise: "You said that the gangster on the street had a treat, when did you change it to play in our bookstore?" Aren't they all leading those half-sized officials to crash their heads into those half-closed doors? Do you also invite a piece of clear customers to accompany you? You see that the noodles have already been eaten, and it doesn't look like we're waiting for some expensive guests, but we have to wait outside for what kind of trouble this is? ”
Tightening the satin gown he was wearing, the white leper shook his head like a rattle: "I can't tell! It's been a bad year, and it's only been October, and it's so cold that people's bones are chilling, and it's not strange if there are any evil deeds."
Before the white leper could finish a few cold words, from the corner of the intersection of the Shuyu Hutong, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared, and walked straight towards the Manmu Spring Shuyu.
Then he looked at the big lantern hanging in front of the door of the Spring Library, and the white leper looked at the man who didn't look like a rich person in his dress, and then looked at the half-grown child beside him who was dressed bulgingly all over his body, and suddenly let out a breath that had just been lifted with cigarette paste.
The master who is dressed up like this, which alley in the Shuyu Hutong has also been entertained, and the top of the sky is the followers led by the patrons. There is a more polite study room, and you can also set up a table in the side cabin, serve a few vegetarian dishes, and make a special welcome to follow the squad leader.
listlessly, the white leper shouted at the strong man who was walking in front with a half-hanging voice: "Which master is it with?" Today, several masters have several long-term entourages around them, and the arranged horse seats are almost all eaten."
Without waiting for the white leper to finish shouting, the half-grown child walking behind was already shouting in a thin voice: "Hey! I've really seen it today, this big teapot full of spring guards, just like that? ! Which eye do you take to see that our master is a long-term follower and a follower? Let me tell you clearly, Master Xiong, who poked the pole on the street in Zhushikou today, and Duan Ye, the head of the patrol police, are waiting for the two of us, and they are not leading the way in front of Ma Er? ! ”
Tell the half-grown child to grab the white, and the white leper is so hung up!
People say don't talk about the moon in front of the bald people, and don't talk about baked cakes when pointing to pockmarks. Not to mention the name in the book, even if it is in the kiln where the pants are ripped off as the door curtain, in front of the big teapot, the gentlemen who walk the scene also shout 'always urge', but this half-grown child
Leng is to poke words into people's hearts!
didn't wait for the white leper to speak again, but the strong man who had already walked to the door of the Manmu Spring Book Apartment raised his hand slightly, and coincidentally threw a piece of the ocean into the white leper's arms: "It's already late, so let Master Xiong and Duan Ye wait for us again, and lead the way ahead!" ”
Although he was only thrown into his arms by a piece of the ocean, but through two or three layers of thick clothes, the white leper still felt that his ribs were smashed by that piece of ocean. Looking at the skeleton of the strong man again, the white leper who was more or less knowledgeable in some scenes suddenly changed into a smiling face, nodded and said to the strong man: "Hey, I have thanked this master for his reward first!" Please, Master Xiong, Master Duan, but it's been a long time coming."
He glanced at the nine monkeys who were following him, and the leopard, who had just changed into clean clothes, followed behind the white leper and walked straight towards the spring book apartment.
Since it is a territory specially used to avenge the wrongs, the layout in the ordinary study apartment can be regarded as exquisite. The half-true Taihu Lake stone, the Huangshan pine that bends in the curve, the dead water pond that raises a few leaves of residual lotus, and the live wooden stake with a few strings of copper bells, if you don't look closely and don't compare the truth, you can also count it as a bit of elegant scenery.
Especially in this spring book apartment, I don't know if I really invited an expert who understands the scenery to build it, not too big a side of the yard, stunned to ask people to take fine sand pebbles to pave out half of the pond, and by the way, a few pieces of rammed earth were also mated out of the pond, and a few bushes of bamboo were raised. During the day, you may not be able to see what it means, but at night, when you take a lantern and shine a picture, a pond with a large palm can make people see the taste of the winding path leading to the deep water at a glance!
Along the dry land on the other side, three pavilions strung with a long corridor were built, with circles, squares and octagonals, and in the pavilions were also wooden tables, bamboo benches, stone chess tables, each with its own differences.
Follow the corridor to the end, and there are two small buildings on the left and right. One of them only had two or three oil lamps lit, while the other small building was brightly lit, and the sound of guessing the fist order came faintly through the door, which was very lively.
Through the door, the white leper who led the way in front stretched out his hand to push open the carved grille door, and at the same time raised his voice and shouted to the people in the room who were guessing the fist order: "There is a distinguished guest here!" ”
Just waiting for the carved grille door to open, Xiang Youbao immediately put on a smiling face, and greeted Duan Ye, who was already drunk and his face was flushed, and he went down: "Master Duan, Master Xiong, everyone, I'm a step late here, forgive me!" ”
Drained a large glass of Shanxi Laofen wine in his hand in one gulp, Xiong Ye, who was sitting next to Duan Ye, squinted his eyes red from drinking, and shouted with wine in his mouth: "If you say anything else, you will be punished with three or three bowls of wine first!" ”
In the echoing voice, Duan Ye, who was sitting on the main seat, also nodded frequently: "Be punished!" Be punished! ”
Very boldly took the wine bowl handed over by the little girl who was waiting at the wine table, Xiang Youbao raised his hand and grabbed the copper wine pot that was warm in the wine plug on the table, and poured a bowl of Shanxi Laofen wine full: "Duan Ye and Xiong Ye have spoken, then I will not obey my fate, but I really don't know how to lift!" Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to pay respect! ”
In the roaring applause, no one noticed that the nine monkeys who were following behind Xiangyou Leopard had already taken advantage of no one's attention to walk towards the backyard of the Spring Book Apartment with a few electric lights on (to be continued).
