The moonlight is like a flower, the shore is quiet and dark, the fishing fires are lit by the river, the restaurants and shops in the town, and the windows also reflect the dim firelight.

Baling still has a chain store of Wanbaolou, but the area is much smaller, just a two-story small wooden building, and the clerk in it has only an old shopkeeper.

"Green Lotus girl, why is he injured, young master?" The old shopkeeper sat behind the counter, looked at the staircase, a few traces of light printed down, and said worriedly.

Lu He was carefully calculating the accounts, and from time to time she picked up the snacks on the counter and took a bite, when she heard this, she raised her head and was angry: "Today at the dock, someone bullied the eldest lady, and the young master couldn't see it and beat them. ”

Speaking of which, a few little stars flashed in the eyes of the green lotus, and the personable little scholars in Kyoto abounded, and after seeing too much, they had already had aesthetic fatigue, and suddenly met Zhao Xian, a savage and not gentle young master, and the green lotus naturally felt much more attractive than ordinary little scholars.

The old shopkeeper is also a person who has come over, and he smiled when he saw the touch of the green lotus, thought about it and worried: "Miss and young master this trip, you must be careful of safety, the waterway in Honghu Lake has not been smooth recently, I heard that there is a mixed 'crossing the river dragon' water bandit who robbed the passing merchants there, and the government is encircling and suppressing it." ”

Lu He didn't pay attention to it at all, and said disdainfully: "It's just a few rogues, and you dare to beat us to settle down the idea?" alarmed the master, and even Honghu Lake filled him in to see how his loach crossed the river. ”

The old shopkeeper nodded, thinking that this was the truth. A few bandits had the guts to rob Anjia's boat, and Mrs. A weak woman traveled so many times without encountering an accident.

"Oops! Miss, you can do it! ”

Suddenly, there were a few more painful cries upstairs, and the green lotus covered her lips and let out a few chuckles, and whispered: "The eldest lady is moved today, although she blames the young master for being reckless, but she personally rubs the medicine for the young master with medicinal wine, I have never seen the eldest lady so gentle, I'm afraid my heart is happy." ”

Above the second floor. With the dim candlelight. Zhao Xian was lying on the pillow with his bare back, and his strong muscle lines were raised high, presenting a standard inverted triangle with a lot of bruises. As the saying goes, 'scars are a man's most attractive military medal'. Although there are a few red, swollen and black blue spots on the back. But it doesn't affect the sex appeal that belongs to men at all. With Zhao Xian's fierce physique. Staying with the slender Miss An is simply a realistic version of Beauty and the Beast.

Miss An sat on the edge of the bed, rolled up her green sleeves and held the medicinal wine. With a hint of shyness on his white cheeks, he carefully wiped his back with a cotton pad, but his mouth was complaining: "The young master of the dignified An family actually ran to fight with a few ruffians, and now I know that it hurts?" It hurts you to death. ”

Still, she became more and more careful with her movements, her eyes always looking at the ceiling, occasionally glancing down at him to determine the position, and then hurriedly looking away. It seems that he does not dare to take a closer look at a man's body.

Zhao Xian said with a little dissatisfaction: "I can't be angry in my heart, that little ruffian's words are too ugly, aren't you angry and don't want to beat them?" ”

Blind and strong, who wants you to help me get angry? Although An Birou thought so, her face was even more flushed, she dipped the medicinal cotton wool in the medicinal wine, quietly lowered her eyes and said softly: "Their words are ugly, you should think that you didn't hear them, don't care what they do, how can I explain to Yijun if I hurt my body." ”

"How can I pretend I didn't hear it?" Zhao Xian was unhappy in his heart, raised his head and patted his chest angrily, and said: "It's true that I'm five big and three rough, but I'm also a good man who pities women, how can I put a woman to death when I get to bed, isn't this an insult to me?" ”

Sister Liu's petite and delicate physique, who is nicknamed 'Mrs. Qingnu', and I have been crazy and have been able to hunt me down for an hour, not to mention the tall Miss An. Zhao Xian naturally didn't want to say this, but he was still smashed a few times, and he turned his head and said, "Ah! What have you done to me? ”

An Birou's face was flushed with anger, her shoulders trembled slightly, her whole body trembled, and her beautiful eyes were covered with tears. This bastard, I thought you saw me humiliated before you made a move, but I didn't expect it...... She raised her small fist and smashed it on Zhao Xian a few times: "You bastard, I, I'll kill you......"

"Just kidding, a bit of a sense of humor...... Oops, it really hurts, hit me again. Zhao Xian turned around with a smile, and saw the usually calm Miss An who was about to cry, and was slightly stunned, and realized that the joke was too much, she was not Yijun and Queen Xiao with a hot personality, and something would happen if she played like this. Zhao Xian hurriedly persuaded: "Don't cry, I offended you, I deserve to die, don't take it seriously if you're joking." Come and laugh at one, or I'll sing a poem for you......"

Let Zhao Xian talk badly, the aggrieved An Birou turned her back, bit her lower lip tightly, and didn't say a word.

As the saying goes, 'look at the beauty under the lamp, add three points of color', by the dim candlelight, the emerald dress is dyed with a few colors of hazy, the green silk hangs straight on the back, and the small waist of Yingying is more slender, and the weak willow Fufeng is afraid that this kind of figure is described, and only Shen Yu's small waist can fight with her among the people he sees.

Zhao Xian swallowed his saliva secretly, but the beauty was angry and he didn't look good, propped himself up and groaned slightly, and said slowly: "I don't know about spring sleep, I smell birds everywhere..."

Miss An didn't seem to pay attention to him, but her eyes blinked, and she seemed to be attracted to it.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Zhao Xian continue, she couldn't help coughing lightly, and asked with an indifferent expression: "Then?" ”

Zhao Xian groaned again, and after brewing for a long time, she hoisted her expectations, and then stretched out her two claws and smiled: "The big bear comes at night, no one can run, how about the eldest lady, are you fascinated by my amazing talent?" ”

"Poof! What a mess. Miss An's light body trembled violently, and she couldn't even straighten her waist with the smiling branches, her eyebrows were flushed, and she was swaying, which was quite moving.

With such a smile, the anger she was angry just now was dispersed, and she suppressed it for a long time before holding back her smile, trying to keep her composure, but she couldn't help laughing a few times, and finally had to get up and say, "You person." Boredom, I went back to my room and wiped the medicine and wine off by myself. ”

After taking a few steps, his shoulders kept shaking slightly, and he seemed to be still snickering.

Zhao Xian shook his long flowing hair, his face was full of color, and he looked at An Birou who was gradually moving away... , and began to think deeply about the fact that the eldest sister-in-law has half of her brother-in-law's ass.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the town of Baling gradually fell silent. Zhao Xian had just been lying on the bed for a while, when he suddenly heard the street under the window. There was a 'creaking' sound of wheels. seemed to have survived at the door, and there were a few calls: "Is Zhao Xiangongzi here?" ”

Looking for me? Zhao Xian was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, he guessed that it was probably related to Sister Su, so he got up and got dressed and came to the first floor. I saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing in the store. Wearing a small hat, he looks ordinary. I'm talking to the old shopkeeper.

Walking down the stairs, Zhao Xian stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "I am Zhao Xian, who is Your Excellency?" ”

The middle-aged man bowed hurriedly when he heard this. Said respectfully: "Little Uncle Zhao, last time a guest ordered a few things in our store, saying that you would come and go in person, and today I heard that you came to Baling, so I specially sent it." ”

This Sister Su, just give me the drawings. Zhao Xian couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and followed the man outside, and saw that the carriage was prevented from a big wooden box, and the volume was small, so he climbed up and opened it to take a look, and there was a wooden machine tool inside, which was very different from what Zhao Xian imagined, but the fine details did not look like something that was put together.

Is this a rifling machine? Zhao Xian nodded thoughtfully, his heart moved slightly, and he asked again: "The manufacturing method of this thing is the drawing, do you have it?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Which guest just instructed the craftsman how to make it, and didn't leave anything behind." ”

Zhao Xian sighed in disappointment, it seems that if you want to manufacture rifled guns in large quantities, you have to do it under the supervision of Sister Su.

Before he could speak, the middle-aged man took out a long box from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "But a few days ago, when the guests came again, they left another brocade box for the small one to be handed over to you." ”

"This woman... It's kind of cute. Zhao Xian took the box, looked up and down carefully, but did not open it, with a few smiles on his face, and put it in his arms like a baby.

The middle-aged man delivered the goods, and said respectfully: "The guest only paid the deposit last time, so..."

"Yes." Zhao Xian got the benefit of Sister Su, so he was embarrassed to ask her to pay, and said busily: "How much silver, just open your mouth." ”

Seeing Zhao Xian's expression of not being bad for money, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said: "One thousand taels!" ”

One thousand taels? Zhao Xian's face changed slightly, this is not a small amount, it is estimated that he has not used three hundred taels of silver for living with Huayu for more than ten years, and it is enough for ordinary people in a lifetime. However, the value of this machine is definitely worth more than a few thousand taels of silver, and Zhao Xian, who is in a good mood, doesn't want to worry too much. He stretched out his hand and touched his arms, but his face stiffened suddenly.

He has been stretching out his hand for so many days at the Guogong Mansion, and he has forgotten the habit of bringing money, except for a few taels of silver, he doesn't even have a silver ticket.

This can't be blamed on Zhao Xian, even if he soars into the sky and becomes the heir of the grandfather of the country, it is impossible to carry a thick pile of silver tickets in his arms, that is the behavior of the nouveau riche, an old nobleman like the An family, the money is carried by his entourage, but Side was thrown on the official ship and was not around.

"Uh..." Zhao Xian laughed dryly, looked at it and was embarrassed to ask the woman for money, so he coughed lightly and said, "What... Uh..."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth widely, and when he saw this, he hurriedly smiled: "Lord Zhao thinks the price is too expensive, and our store can also be discounted..."

Before Zhao Xian could speak, Lu He walked out of the store, handed the silver ticket in his arms to the middle-aged man, and chuckled: "This is a thousand taels of silver tickets, and the remaining two hundred taels are rewarded by the young master." ”

"Oops!" The middle-aged man bowed in flattery, Fang Jue's words just now were a little redundant, how could the family lack this bit of silver, and they would have opened the price a little more if they knew it.

The middle-aged man left satisfied, Zhao Xiancai turned around, touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "What, Green Lotus, tell the eldest lady, I will return the money to her." ”

Lu He covered his lips and smiled a few times: "Young master, you are the heir of the An family, and even the slaves and maids are your things, not to mention this bit of silver, you don't have to laugh." ”

As he spoke, he blinked his eyes wide, and looked at Zhao Xian shyly.

Is there any mistake, why are the maids here more than the other, Zhao Xian looked up a few times. But I saw a woman's silhouette reflected in the window, sticking to the window as if listening to something, and I guess I hadn't noticed that her own shadow was printed on the window.

Seeing this, Zhao Xian deliberately coughed lightly, and said with a lewd smile: "Yes! I'm the eldest young master of the An family, Green Lotus, are you free tonight, I'll take you to see the little goldfish! ”

"What little goldfish? Take it out and show it to the slaves? Lu He's face turned red, and he approached Zhao Xian and asked shyly.

Take it out? I'm afraid it's inconvenient in this place. Zhao Xian laughed evilly a few times, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a coquettish voice from above: "Green Lotus, come back to me." What is there to see about goldfish. There is so much in the garden. ”

"Oh!" Green Lotus stuck out his tongue, nodded in disappointment, and hurriedly entered the store and went upstairs.

This woman, Vinegar Jin and Yijun have a fight. Zhao Xian secretly laughed a few times. Without further ado. I also went upstairs and into my room. I slept comfortably.

As the moon sets and the sun rises, a new day begins, under the careful care of Ampyro's medicinal wine. The bruises on his body have dissipated a lot, his physique is already strong, and it is good to be beaten occasionally, at least he wakes up refreshed.

Ambirou seemed to recognize the bed, and she didn't sleep comfortably when she went out, with a little blood in her eyes, and kept playing Hache.

Zhao Xian tied the carriage, saw An Birou come out listlessly, and said hello: "Morning!" Miss, did the big bear go to you last night? ”

"Whew!" Hearing Zhao Xian mention last night's bad poem again, An Birou couldn't help but laugh a few more times, shook her head and said: "You are really boring, even if a big bear runs into my room, I'm afraid you have changed." ”

"You're still laughing and duplicitous when you're bored." Zhao Xian sneered, so he stopped teasing her, tidied up the carriage and went to the dock with An Birou.

The morning air is exceptionally clear, the wharf is full of boatmen and merchants, and due to the prosperity of the area, there are naturally small markets in the surrounding area, but most of them are selling vegetables, and you can see a few monks walking on the street.

The carriage was a wagon, loaded with machine tools that Zhao Xian regarded as treasures, and could not sit on people, so Zhao Xian led the horse, and several people still walked.

An Birou carefully avoided the stagnant water on the ground, and walked forward hand in hand with Green Lotus, as if she was shopping with the two women. Zhao Xian is like a servant leading a horse.

"Miss, Miss, look..."An Birou was walking absentmindedly, when she was suddenly pulled by Lu He's sleeve, pointed to a few monks in the distance and whispered: "Miss, look at those monks, they are actually buying fish." ”

An Birou looked up, and sure enough, she saw several monks in coarse cloth standing in front of the fish stall and paying for it. Because of the fishy smell of fish, she covered her small mouth, and said with a slightly dissatisfied face: "Monks, how can you eat meat and let the Buddha know that he will punish them." ”

Zhao Xian also looked up a few times, shook his head and smiled: "Miss, you can't just look at the surface, you look at the eyes of those monks, when you buy vegetables, will you look at the radish greens with pity?" ”

"Huh?" An Birou was slightly stunned, raised her beautiful eyes and looked carefully, and found that those monks who bought fish were indeed not coveted by feasting on food, but by the indifference and gentleness unique to monks.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Zhao Xian, your observation is careful, but what can they do if they buy fish and don't eat it?" ”

Zhao Xian wanted to reply, 'Eat, eat, eat, you know', but for the sake of his own safety, he held back, and changed his words mysteriously: "You just wait and see." ”

Miss An snorted lightly and ignored Zhao Xian, but she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and followed the footsteps of a few monks.

The pier was naturally on the water's edge, but in just a few steps, An Birou followed a few monks to the shore.

I saw that the monks were chanting Buddhist scriptures, and at the same time slowly put a large plate of fish into the water with their fingers, and a few smiles appeared on their faces.

"I see." An Birou suddenly realized, her face showed a little shame, and she couldn't help but admire Zhao Xian's careful observation, and before she could speak, she suddenly saw that downstream, several fishermen happily ran to the shore, and happily picked up the fish that had just been launched and lacked oxygen supply to swim with a big net.

An Birou's face immediately turned red with anger, and she pulled Zhao Xian's sleeve and said, "Zhao Xian, you go and stop them, these masters were kind enough to save these fish, but they fished them up again, it's really too much." ”

Zhao Xian naturally saw this scene, but did not make it, but shook his head and said: "These masters sold a few fish to release, and they were happy to see them relieved, and the merchants were happy to make money, while the fishermen downstream were happy because of lunch, and a group of fish satisfied the three groups of people, isn't this exactly the original intention of the gods and Buddhas to help all sentient beings, what should I do to stop them?" ”

An Birou was stunned for a moment, thinking a little, this is really the truth, she looked at the fishermen who were happily dispersed, and smiled lightly for a long time: "Don't you say, I really didn't find out that the arrangement of the Buddha is so ingenious, how do you understand these big truths, could it be that you have also been a monk?" ”

Zhao Xian was immediately speechless, led the carriage towards the merchant ship, and said helplessly: "Miss, read more books and you will naturally know, I don't believe in Buddhism." ”

"You don't believe in Buddhism?" An Birou felt that Zhao Xian was very talented, and it was normal to read more books than her, but when she heard that Zhao Xian didn't believe in Buddhism, she caught up with her and said, "Didn't you say that the Buddha said yesterday: 500 times in the previous life, in exchange for a passing in this life, why don't you believe it today?" Could it be that you don't believe in fate? ”

Zhao Xian was too lazy to play meditation with her, and said directly: "Some fates are destined by God, and there are also those who fight for themselves, instead of burning incense and praying to the Buddha and praying to God, it is better to do it yourself, the woman you like is chasing, if you can't catch it, let the old man go to the next job, dare not marry and grab it back, and give birth to a few sons to see if she is still honest." Waiting for God to arrange an encounter, isn't that a dream. ”

"You..." Miss An was suddenly choked by his words, and began to be shameless again, she couldn't help blushing, snorted, and no longer paid attention to Zhao Xian and walked forward with her head buried in her head. (To be continued......)
