Chapter 12 Martial Arts, a Young Girl
The wine went down the throat and into the heart, and the kind of soft aroma and mellow luscious flavor unique to Du Kang made Du He addicted.
The white-haired old man was even more amazed when he saw this, "Refreshing, little brother, I respect you again!" β
He poured another bowl full of Du He, and Du He drank it all again, and drank three bowls in a row before he stopped!
"It's a pity to meet such a rude person with such a good wine!" Just as Du He was fascinated, the white-haired old man shouted refreshment, and a sigh of emotion came from the table next to them.
Du He looked around, but he was a rich businessman with a fat head and big ears.
Du He smiled disappreciably and ignored it.
The white-haired old man didn't seem to bother to talk to him either, and ignored it!
The middle-aged man at the same table couldn't help but be so interested that he forgot to drink the wine in his hand when he saw that Du He didn't care about anything.
The wealthy merchant stepped forward and said, "This old man, you Du Kang is the best in wine." I don't know if I can cut my love and sell it to ......"
He didn't finish his sentence and immediately collapsed to the ground.
I don't know when, the nine-ring big knife beside the white-haired old man has appeared in front of him, appearing silently, as if the knife was originally there. Moreover, the blade was touching the tip of the rich merchant's nose, and the sharp blade did not bring any damage to the rich merchant.
Du He secretly praised: The white-haired old man took the knife and swung it out in his eyes, and there was no slack in that action, and the old man did not look back from beginning to end, relying on the kung fu of just listening to the voice and arguing, he could do it so accurately.
This old man's martial arts are really amazing!
"Get out!" The white-haired old man said coldly!
The rich merchant's face turned white, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and returned to his seat.
"Good kung fu!" Du He exclaimed!
"You're not bad either!" The white-haired old man's face softened, and he smiled: "At least at your age, I am far inferior to you!" β
Du He glanced at the wine gourd, and was a little unsatisfied.
The white-haired old man smiled: "Three bowls is also the limit, if others I look at it pleasing to the eye, only one bowl, only a few people who really know how to drink can be qualified to drink three bowls." If it's fate, I'll invite you again next time we meet! β
This wine can only be experienced by drinking it all, if Du He feels sorry for the wine, taste it slowly little by little, the white-haired old man will not invite him to drink three bowls in a row.
Du He also knew that he couldn't be too greedy, and he didn't care, just chatted with him all over the world.
The white-haired old man is a talkative and heroic character, with rich experience, and the things he talks about are eye-opening.
The middle-aged man seemed a little indifferent, didn't like to talk much, and just interjected a few words from time to time. But these few sentences all go to the key point.
After a while, a thin young man in ragged clothes walked into the tea shed, holding a jade pendant in his hand. The jade is of high quality, the jasper is flawless, and it is like a piece of beautiful jade.
When the rich merchant noticed the piece of jade in his hand, his eyes immediately sparkled.
The young man was in the middle of the tea shed, looked around and said eagerly: "When you go out, you are exhausted, and you are willing to sell this ancient jade to save your life, if you like it, the one with the highest price will get it!" β
The young man's language is like a yellow bird, melodious to the ear, and he is actually a woman.
She was only fourteen or fifteen years old, her face and hands were full of black coal, and she could no longer see her true face, but when she spoke, she showed two rows of shiny snow-white teeth, but they were extremely incommensurate with her whole body. The eyes are dark and very smart.
Du He smiled and admired, this girl is amazing, the one with the highest price will win, just like the auction in later generations.
The rich merchant looked at the ancient jade with some greed, he had been in business for many years, how could he not see that this was a piece of jade with high quality?
"How do I know if the jade pendant is real or fake, show it to me, if it's true, it's okay to buy it!" At this time, the wealthy merchant showed the demeanor of a Confucian merchant.
Du Heyi saw that the rich merchant had bad intentions, as long as this jade pendant fell into the hands of the rich merchant, whether it was true or false, and how valuable it was, it all depended on his words, and if he wanted him to return it, he was afraid that it would be impossible.
He hates this kind of rich and unkind businessman the most, thinking about how to help the woman, and punish and punish the businessman by the way.
Although the girl's demeanor was anxious, she was not fooled, but said: "Whether the jade pendant is real or false, you can distinguish the superior from the inferior just by looking at the color and texture." If this proprietor can't even see this, how can he see the true value of this ancient jade? β
She saw that the rich merchant was interested in buying it, and asked, "Twenty silver cakes, if the owner wants them, he can take them." β
Twenty silver cakes buy this jade pendant worth thirty silver cakes, only make money and don't lose money!
But the rich merchant's surname Ben was greedy, and he could earn a little bit, but he opened the price of ten silver cakes.
He saw that the girl was in dire need of money, so he bargained unhurriedly.
Du He smiled: "This girl, my family runs a pawnshop, I accepted your jade pendant and twenty silver cakes, if you want to redeem it, you can come to me!" He saw that the woman was young, but she had a proud bone, and she was not eaten by the mouth. deliberately lied about opening a pawnshop, secretly helping each other.
The rich merchant's expression changed slightly, and he glared at Du He angrily and said angrily: "Boy, do you want to go against me? β
Du He ignored him at all, just smiled and took out twenty silver cakes and asked, "Is it a deal?" β
The girl also knew that Du He was willing to help, and she really needed money urgently, so she nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Du He completely ignored him, the rich merchant was even more annoyed, and shouted: "Boy, we have settled this hatred!" He sat down angrily, his eyes shining.
At first, the wealthy businessman was a little jealous of Du He's identity, but when he claimed that his family was a pawnshop, he really thought he was a bully, thinking that he was just some businessmen's children who couldn't get on the faΓ§ade, and thought about how to retaliate.
Du He didn't take him seriously at all, asked the store for pen and ink, wrote a receipt, accepted the jade pendant, and gave the silver cake to the girl.
When the girl saw that the handover place was written with the words Duhe in Chang'an Cai Guogong's Mansion, she stared at him with round eyes.
Du He made a "shhh
The girl nodded knowingly.
At this moment, another girl rushed into the tea shed and shouted, "Sister, sister, mother...... Mother is dying! She began to cry on the spot.
This girl was different from the previous ones, she was only about ten years old, and although she was dressed simply, she was dressed beautifully, with two ponytails hanging on her left and right, a pair of big eyes like beautiful gems set on a face carved from ivory, and a goose egg face with a pink mouth, like a porcelain doll.
"What's wrong!" Du He asked with concern, glanced at the porcelain doll, and then looked at the girl, wondering what she really was.
The girl also had some six gods and no masters: "Mother accidentally let a poisonous snake bite us in order to pick wild fruits for us to satisfy our hunger. There is no doctor here, how is it good! β
"I'll take a look!" Du He and the white-haired old man spoke at the same time, and the middle-aged man also stood up.
The two smiled at each other, and it seemed that they were both helpful characters.
The girl could only pin her hopes on them, and led them to the big tree opposite the tea shed.
Pushing through the crowd of onlookers, a young woman in her forties fell on the grass, her face pale, her lips a little bruised, and her calves bulging high.
Du He used the long sword at his waist to cut open the wounded part, and saw that the bulging calf had been broken into a piece, and there were two deep holes at the top.
Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but roll down her tears, and bowed on the spot: "If you can save my mother, Wu Zhao is willing to be a cow and a horse, and repay the two kindnesses!" The tears that fell washed away the dirt on her face, revealing skin like mutton fat and white jade.
