Chapter 9 Tianxiang Building
"Don't refuse," said the girl before she could speak.
Wei Zihan gritted his teeth lightly and snorted lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction with his 'arbitrariness'.
Seeing that Wei Zihan didn't agree directly, he knew that she was a little girl's shyness, as long as she didn't refuse.
I wanted to take her to a clean and hygienic shop, but I looked for a circle of restaurants that looked like they were all luxurious, but I forgot that this was the most prosperous street in Yangzhou, and I wanted to find a small shop in the wrong direction, and I checked the broken silver in my arms, I didn't need to ask the price at all, I knew that it was not enough, and I had to lose face in front of the beauty today?
As I was walking, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of a restaurant in front of me, and most of them were scholars, who were shaking their heads and thinking about something.
"This brother, may I ask what's going on in the restaurant in front of you?" Zhao Wuregret stopped a scholar who came from there and asked.
The scholar who lowered his head and pondered was a little unhappy when he was interrupted from his train of thought, but when he saw that Zhao Wuregret was also dressed as a scholar, and there was a fairy-like girl behind him, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly blushed and lowered his head again.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Wuregret couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and when he was about to leave, the scholar said in a very low voice, "The 'Tianxiang Building' in front opened today, and I invited the son of the crazy Xu Yuan to come and ask him to write a pair of upper couplets, saying that those who can deal with the lower couplets will be free of wine and food within three days, but Xu Gongzi is very talented, and the little student thinks hard and can't get it, it's really ashamed and ashamed." ”
"Thank you, brother Tai for solving your doubts," Zhao Wuregret couldn't help but be a little funny, this scholar was a real book, his voice was the same as that of a mosquito, fortunately, his hearing was good, but he was really destined for the word 'Tianxiang', and he looked at Wei Zihan in a blink of an eye, as if he had a heart in his heart, and the girl also happened to look at herself, and couldn't help but smile when she saw this.
"Let's go, let's go to Tianxianglou to have a good meal," Speaking of couplets, he is an expert, and he definitely doesn't know how much he has seen in the future, so he can't help but take the girl's jade hand and go straight forward, Wei Zihan didn't pull out his hand a few times, he was ashamed and anxious, today is the second time he grabbed his hand, but it was not good to reprimand him on the street, so he could only go with him with a blushing face.
When the scholar heard Zhao Wuregret's words, he also wanted to know if he would be able to make the next couplet, so he also followed him.
Came to the door of Tianxiang Building, there was a couplet hanging on the side, those scholars were still thinking hard, Zhao Wuregret looked up, and it said, 'Freezing rain sprinkles the window, two o'clock in the east, three o'clock in the west.' This is a split word couplet, the frozen word is split into two points in the east, and the sprinkling word is split into three points in the west.
Could it be that this crazy Xu, what did Xu come from? Zhao Wuregret thought, it's not that the couplet is too difficult, but that he has seen this couplet in his previous life, so he has this suspicion.
Seeing that Wei Zihan was also pondering, he walked to a desk at the door, took a brush and prepared to write.
At this time, Wei Zihan also seemed to have gained, and walked to Zhao Wuregret's side to help him sharpen his ink, and at this time, Zhao Wuregret wrote on the paper, 'Cut and divide the pieces, seven horizontal knives, and eight vertical knives'.
"Okay, why didn't I think of that,"
"That's it, I'm almost thinking about it, and I'm one step away from being preempted by him."
……
Ignoring the shamelessness of those people, Zhao Wuregret asked the girl beside him, "It seems that you also have gains, can you tell me?"
Wei Zihan hesitated for a moment, but then whispered in Zhao Wuxian's ear, "Zuo Jun Youmin, one person on the left, one person on the right," the girl exhaled like an orchid, which made his heart itch.
Hearing this linkage, Zhao Wuregret couldn't help but look at the girl carefully, if this is what the court officials are right, it makes sense, but why would Wei Zihan make this kind of linkage?
At this time, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou personally invited the two to enter, only to see that the decoration inside was luxurious but not vulgar, the first floor was almost full of guests, but because of the flowers and plants, each table seemed to be independent.
led the two to a small box on the third floor, and the shopkeeper said apologetically, "Today's small shop has just opened, fortunately Yangzhou father and elder care, so that there are distinguished guests everywhere, the box here is slightly smaller, although I know that I am not worthy of the identity of the distinguished guest, but I hope that the two of you will forgive me, and the next time the two come again, the small shop will compensate." After a pause, he asked, "I don't know what dishes the two distinguished guests like, just ask." ”
Wei Zihan smiled on the side and said nothing, Zhao Wuregret could only say, "Bring me the menu first." ”
"Ah, what is Childe's menu? Is it the menu downstairs?"
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Zhao Wuregret thought that there was also a menu in ancient times, but it was hung on the wall on the first floor, called 'menu' also called 'pending order', if you don't see the menu and want to know what specialty dishes you have, there will be a guy who uses his tone that is not inferior to 'Hua Shao' to report it to you, as for the 'menu' in the hands of the hotel in later generations, there is really no such thing in this era.
"We don't know what special dishes you have, why don't you help us get an idea, just serve dozens of specialty dishes, don't have to break too much." Zhao Wuregret commanded with a smile.
"How many, how many?" The shopkeeper's cheeks were trembling, "Childe, the dishes in the small shop are full of portions, I'm afraid of dozens of dishes, I'm afraid it's ......."
"Okay, the shopkeeper is joking with you, you can just serve a few dishes at will, and we won't be able to eat more." Wei Zihan glanced at Zhao Wuregret with disgust, and said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, okay, the little one will go and command," the shopkeeper had already disappeared before he could finish his words.
"You like to tease people," Wei Zihan said angrily.
"I'm going to try him to see if he's really enthusiastic or fake, you see, you'll know if you try it."
"Hmph, I think the shopkeeper is fine, if someone else doesn't kick you out."
At this time, in a compound in Yangzhou City, a man about thirty years old was practicing calligraphy with a pen, but a voice with a broken voice suddenly sounded, "Young master, young master, the people from Tianxianglou are coming to you." ”
He put down the brush and walked out of the door angrily, only to see a chubby young man shouting in an ugly voice, and a guy from Tianxianglou standing next to him was looking at him helplessly.
"I've been talking to you for more than 20 years, tell you not to scream, are you a pig's brain? I don't remember it at all. The man scolded loudly in anger.
The fat man didn't care, and said with a grin in a broken voice, "My voice is quiet on weekdays, and you can't hear it for an hour, so I can't blame me." ”
The man was so angry that he simply ignored him, this scholar grew up with him since he was a child, and he was loyal to him, so he couldn't get rid of him because he had a bad voice, right? I've been listening to it for more than 20 years anyway.
"Are you from Tianxianglou? What's the matter here?"
"Xu Gongzi, the pair of Shanglian you gave is right, and the shopkeeper wants you to write another pair for the small one to take back."
The man heard a secret complaint, and the couplet he had been thinking about for many days had been cracked, would it still be useful if it was written casually? If you are targeted again, do you dare to call out your crazy name?
