Chongyi Fang, Wenjun Wine Kiln.

Seeing Li Xi enter the door, the voice in the wine shop suddenly became much quieter.

It is said that this Wenjun wine shop is very small, and it can only be regarded as a small wine shop, but because the dog meat is stewed very well, the business has always been good, and it is quite famous among the dozens of wine shops in this Jinyuan County.

Of course, its greatest fame comes not from wine, nor from dog meat, but from its owner, a young woman who is known as the "Dog Meat Lady".

It is said that the maiden name of this dog meat lady is Lin, and her parents are just ordinary old farmers, two years ago, just because she was beautiful, she was favored by the Huangfu family in the county, so she invited a matchmaker to come to her son to propose marriage, this rural girl can marry into the city, the other party is still a rich family, that is naturally a beautiful thing that can not be expected, so her mother's family accepted a thick bride price, and it is naturally approved.

It's a pity that this girl is not blessed, on the day of the wedding, the bridegroom because he drank too much wine, and when he was walking, he accidentally fell, and his head hit the stone edge of the steps, and before he could enter the cave room, he died.

So in the blink of an eye, the happy event turned into a funeral. Although the groom's parents did not treat her well, there were still rumors such as [Tiansha Xing] and [Kefu] behind her back, so that the family avoided her, but even so, she was willing to stay at her mother-in-law's house, saying that she was willing to do her filial piety to her parents for her husband, but her parents thought she was unlucky and did not dare to stay.

Later, after three months of filial piety, the family simply said that although they had become relatives, after all, their son was gone, and there was no reason to leave her to be a widow, so that she could go home, and she would marry or whatever she wanted, and she just didn't want to stay at home, so she only gave a sum of money and drove her out of the house.

It is said that this should be a good thing that a newlywed widow can't think of, how can anyone be willing to live as a widow for others for a lifetime before they are so young and have not had time to really get married? But this dog meat lady is a dead-eyed child, he didn't even see what the man looked like, so he insisted on being widowed for the other party, saying that the martyr girl did not serve the second husband, so after returning to her parents' house, no matter how her parents and sisters-in-law persuaded her, she insisted on never remarrying.

But after eating the sweetness of the last time, her brother and sister-in-law have understood that marrying a daughter is a good bride price, not to mention that her sister is still so beautiful, and it is not a loss to raise her at home if she does not marry, so her brother and sister-in-law categorically disagree with her widowhood, she disagrees, so she first found relatives and neighbors and countless people to take turns to persuade her, and then even simply threatened that if she refused to marry, she would be driven out, in short, she was not allowed to continue to live in her mother's house, for which her brother also slapped her.

In the end, she was forced to be helpless, so she simply came to this county to rent a shop, and hired some men and women to open this Wenjun wine shop. In the past two years, it has also become quite a bit of a weather, and it has become a famous small wine shop in Jinyuan County.

And since the time she left home, she completely broke off the relationship with her family, and later even gave up the surname Lin together, changed her surname to her deceased husband's surname, and named herself Huangfu Jingnu. Although the Tang Dynasty is not limited to remarriage, it is still appreciated for women who have integrity and can widow their deceased husbands, so since then, she has a lot of literati and ink writers to patronize.

Of course, there are definitely not a few swingers who come here and want to flirt.

At this moment, it is the dog meat lady and the princess who sells wine.

There was a sudden silence in the wine shop, and the Imperial Fu Jingnu, who was looking down to settle the accounts, raised her head in surprise, and just saw that everyone was pointing at Li Xi and saying something, so she couldn't help but sigh.

Wine shops have always been a place where gossip gathers, known as "car and boat shops, catch them and kill them", a person like Li Xi who is constantly in fresh scandals is naturally often mentioned by drinkers, so she has naturally heard of it, Li Xi has come here every time to buy wine, although she has not been received by her every time, but she has long recognized him from the mouths of drinkers.

Speaking of which, she also felt sorry for Li Xi.

People are great talents, although they don't know poetry, and they can't even read, but so many people say good poetry, it must be very good, and what a good future it should be in the future to have such talent. It's a pity that he acted too much, first went to a widow's house to be a bookkeeper, and was rumored to be a peachy rumor, although after he publicly explained afterwards, everyone understood that it was just some false slander, but in the end it still caused a lot of trouble.

Later, he simply openly advertised to those people that he likes money, wants to earn money, likes women, likes widows, and so on...... After a few unashamed words, he didn't even remember the words of the sage, and made a bet that he wanted to be the Tao Zhugong of Jinyuan County, and he would be worth a fortune within half a year...... It's no wonder that those who read books look sideways at others, and even they think that he is too arrogant and ignorant of self-love. As people say, are these things easy to say?

There is no one in the world who doesn't love money, everyone is thinking about their own methods, and they all want to make more money, but who dares to boast about Haikou, saying that they can earn a thousand gold within half a year?

What's more, you're just a reader with no plan.

It's good now, these days he comes to buy wine every day, less than a corner and two corners, more than a hu, although he never drinks here, but since he buys every day, and buys so much, then he must be borrowing wine alone after returning home to drown his sorrows. Otherwise, what would he do as a scholar buying all that wine?

Since it is a drink to drown his sorrows, it must be that even he himself has regretted it after saying those words, but it is a pity that this matter has already been spread, causing a great impact, even if he has repentance, but there is nothing he can do, these words can only be drunk alone every time.

Therefore, every time she sees Li Xi coming, Huangfu Jingnu can't help but think that it is said that her deceased husband was also a scholar back then, and he was also in Jinyuan County School, maybe the two of them still know each other. It's a pity that her husband, whom she has never met, is no longer there, otherwise he could have persuaded this Li Xi-

Isn't it that there are some rumors in a small county town, afraid of something, as long as you read and write poetry well, you will not be able to pass the Jinshi exam in the future, even if you can be an official and a half-job, naturally no one will dare to say anything gossip, so why bother tossing yourself like this!

A few days ago, because Li Xi said that she liked widows and the like, one was that the Huangfu Jingnu felt that she had to avoid suspicion, and the other was that she was a little tired of this kind of frivolous words, so every time Li Xi came to buy wine, she always had to avoid it.

It's just that as Li Xi came more often, she found that although this person had a very bad reputation, he was actually a very good person, and when he saw someone, he first smiled shyly, and his tone was very kind, and he didn't talk nonsense about himself, but he was much easier to get along with than the so-called scholars who liked to take a scholar's shelf but were always peeking behind their backs, and even repeatedly flirted with each other.

Therefore, this back and forth, Huangfu Jingnu didn't hide from him, and every time she drank, she deliberately gave him an extra half-horn.

Seeing him coming again at this moment, she looked out to see the sky, no, it was time again.

Turning her head to look at the disdain and ridicule on the faces of the people drinking in the shop, and then looking at Li Xi's shy smile that had never heard of everyone's discussions, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart again.

"Li Jialang, are you here to drink again?"

Li Xi nodded and smiled, "Yes, trouble your boss, this time I still have to do it." As he spoke, he handed over the wine in his hand, and then put the counted money on the counter.

Boss, this title is really unique.

Huangfu Jingnu took the wine and went to it, and was ruthless, so she simply beat him full of it and told you to drink!

After handing over the wine dendrobium, Li Xi reached out and found that there was something wrong with the weight, he looked down, and then couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "This ......"

Huangfu Jingnu said: "Go back and get drunk, get drunk, forget all the things before, don't get drunk so much every day in the future, the more people look down on you, the more you have to look down on yourself, and make yourself feel better by drinking every day, but it's not what a man should do, you are still a big talent, how can you not even understand this truth." ”

As she spoke, she pushed the wine bowl and said, "Take it." ”

Then he said to a wine seller: "You go and cut a pound of dog meat to wrap him." ”

Li Xi was stunned stupidly, and the drinkers in the wine shop also looked at each other one by one.

When the woman heard this, she cut the dog meat and wrapped it according to the order, and after taking it and handing it to the Huangfu Jingnu, she carefully pulled the corners of her clothes, and the Huangfu Jingnu turned her head to look at her, and she pouted at the drinkers in the shop.

As a surviving person who was kicked out of the house by her in-laws, and alone supporting such a wine shop full of gossip and prodigals, the Huangfu Jingnu certainly knows the terrible truth of human words.

However, after sighing, she still handed over the wrapped dog meat and said, "You bought a lot of wine, this is from our store." I hope you can take care of our business more in the future, our dog meat is very fragrant, try it. ”

Li Xi smiled shyly, and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly heard someone say in a weird way: "Yes, dog meat is fragrant, dog meat ladies are more fragrant, and those who like widows can smell it thousands of miles away!" ”

Huangfu Jingnu's face turned red suddenly when she heard this, but she was a guest in the store, she opened the door to do business, and naturally there was no reason to blow the guests away, besides, in the past two years, she has heard all kinds of strange words I don't know how much, and she has long been used to it, except for the fact that she still blushes a little every time she hears it, there is nothing else. remembered that in the half year when the wine shop first opened, she had to cry until midnight every night.

But perhaps it is precisely because she herself has had the experience of being pointed at and talking hot and cold by others, so she has some sympathy for Li Xi's current situation.

Seeing that Li Xi didn't answer, she simply stuffed the dog meat over, and at this time, the woman standing next to her also smiled and said: "Li Jialang, you can take it if you give it to you, and come to us to buy dog meat a few more times in the future, you can taste it, it is delicious, every dog in the store is stewed by my lady!" ”

Li Xi smiled shyly, embarrassed to push it again, so he took it and thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, someone in the store didn't agree, and someone stood up at once, "Huangfu lady, this is not fair, I haven't been drinking in your wine bar in the past two years, why do you buy more than that crazy student?" Why don't you give me a pound of dog meat too? ”

Speaking of this, he smiled disdainfully, "Isn't it that you, a dog meat lady, smelled the fishy smell, and couldn't stand it in your heart, and wanted to find yourself another little husband, right?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up and down at Huangfu Jingnu with a look of lust, and many of the drinkers in the store immediately followed suit when they heard this, and they all laughed in low voices.

Huangfu Jingnu immediately blushed when she heard this, but before she could speak, Li Xi had already smiled and asked her, "How much is a pound of dog meat in your shop?" ”

When the mother-in-law next to Huangfu Jingnu heard this, she hurriedly said, "Fifteen dollars a catty." ”

Li Xi nodded, took out another fifteen coins from his arms and handed them over, shook the dog meat in his hand, and said, "I bought it." ”

Then he held the wine in one hand and the dog meat in the other, and after showing a shy smile to the dog meat lady, he turned around and walked out.

At that moment, the person who opened his mouth to provoke just now saw that Li Xi didn't take care of himself at all, and he couldn't help but change his face suddenly, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "I heard that Mr. Li Xi once boasted that he would reach his net worth within half a year, wouldn't it be that after he finished talking big, he couldn't come back, so he borrowed wine every day to drown his sorrows, right?" ”

Seeing that Li Xi stopped when he heard this, he suddenly snorted coldly, and his face suddenly showed some smugness, and said: "What a bullshit talent, but it's just that he occasionally walked shit and got a poem, I don't think it's really good, but I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, and I actually say that not only is poetry better than people, but even making money is better than people, hum, in the end, it's just a joke!" ”

Then, with a pretentious sigh, he turned back and sat down.

When the dog meat lady heard this, she looked at Li Xi with some concern, she was deeply aware of the power of these cynicisms, so she couldn't help but think, just with these words, I am afraid that this Li family elder will be drunk a few more times, right?

Alas, why can't people be kind to each other and considerate of each other, because they have to make others feel uncomfortable, so that they can be happy? Everyone always says that the reader reads the book of the sages, and every sentence in the books of the sages is learned, but it is just ...... Is it all written in the books of the sages?

Under the gaze of the man in the wine shop, Li Xi stopped and listened to the man finish speaking, and finally turned around.

He still had that harmless shy smile on his face, and when he turned around, he just glanced at the person who spoke just now, then smiled and asked, "I said that I can be worth a fortune in half a year, don't you believe it?" ”

The man shook his head disdainfully and said, "Don't believe it! ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard this, and then when everyone was waiting for him to argue, he just smiled, and then didn't say a word, then turned around and continued to walk out of the wine shop.

At that moment, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then, a burst of laughter broke out in the wine shop.

"Phew, what a wealthy daughter, it's not even half a year before the original form is revealed! Hmph, full of words, who he thinks he is, is simply a shame for my generation of readers! ”

Seeing that Li Xi just smiled and walked out again, for some reason, the dog meat lady also felt disappointed in her heart.

Although she, like everyone else, didn't believe that Li Xi, a scholar with no long plan, could learn anything Tao Zhugong, let alone half a year to a thousand gold, but for some reason, seeing his shy smile and that sincere and undodging eyes, she would rather believe that he was not bragging, and hoped that he could really scare everyone again like he did when he made that poem, proving that he was not a big talker.

But alas, wishes are just wishes after all, which is obviously impossible.

At the moment, looking at the unscrupulous disdain on the faces of the drinkers in the wine shop, and then thinking about the lonely and helpless back when Li Xi walked out of the store just now, she somehow felt sour and soft in her heart, as if the person who was humiliated just now was herself.

Then, while playing with the pound of dog meat money handed over by her mother-in-law, she sighed silently, and thought to herself: "It's okay to be angry, as long as you can wake up, don't say anything big in the future, it'......s not easy to be angry."
