Chapter 143: Tokyo Morning Song
The faint morning light just passed through the window, and there was a clanging sound of beating the iron sign at the mouth of Motou Alley, and the monks and Toutuo from various monasteries walked along the street, while beating the iron sign, while shouting Buddhist words such as "Pudu sentient beings, saving the suffering and saving the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas", and finally reported the time.
This is a scene in the early morning of the city of Tokyo, and at first, the original intention of announcing the dawn was to let people not snooze and not miss the good time to chant Buddha in the early morning; Moreover, monks and heads have the ability to awaken obsession, they can abide by the time every day, come to tell the time accurately, and over time, they have become special people in the city of Tokyo; The people feel that they are unhindered by rain or shine, and the spirit of perseverance day after day, usually monks come to the door, or celebrate the New Year, the people are willing to give more.
The monks chanted the scriptures every day, and they all practiced a loud voice like a bell, Yang Yi finally had the opportunity to sleep lazily, and was woken up, and couldn't help but mutter: "No wonder Buddhism is booming, this city of people wake up every day, and when they hear it, they are the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are saving the suffering and saving the suffering, can they not be moved?" ”
Han Bi'er moved in his arms, making her bewitching body tighter, and replied with a smile: "Heaven rewards hard work, and it is reasonable for the heads to be so persistent every day, and to accept more believers." ”
"If you want me to say, you should let the students come to spring sleep every day without being aware of it, and smell birds everywhere! Belch! It is best to let the girls sing the first forehead of the concubine and fold the flower in front of the door; This kind of scenery is heartfelt! You think, there is a girl folding flowers and playing in front of the door, who can resist not getting up and seeing, wouldn't the effect of reporting the dawn be better! ”
Han Bi'er couldn't help but laugh coquettishly: "Yang Yi is making trouble again!" ”
"Yes? I put my hands honestly, how can I ever be strange? ”
Yang Daguan probably felt that he was too wronged, so he simply grabbed the pair of soft jade rabbits on her chest, and under the caresse, Han Bi'er's naked jade body couldn't help but twist slightly; During this twist, a hard object was suddenly pushed in at the hip cleft, and the hot feeling provoked her to let out a series of groans...... "Yang Lang, oh...... Yang Lang, don't get it, hurry up, didn't you promise to take Qingniang to the street bounty stone.......Oh......"
The arrow is already on the string, how can it not be fired? Yang Daguan lifted her from behind and pushed her waist forward.
Han Bi'er is like a swan with an arrow, her chest is straight, her pink neck is raised, and a string of warblers is floating in the dawn mist...... Jingmingfang is one of Tokyo's major business districts, and early in the morning, all kinds of people gather at the corners of the streets, such as carpenters, porters, brick and tile masons, all of whom gather at the corners, waiting for someone to call. The city of Tokyo was inhabited by a large number of wealthy merchants, dignitaries, and gentry and celebrities, and a huge amount of manpower was needed to provide services, so the labor market at each street corner came into being.
Most of the manpower is hired in the early morning, so every morning, all the street corners are crowded and noisy, Yang Yi took Qingniang to pass by in a car, but he had to be careful to avoid these manpower; This is also one of the major characteristics of Tokyo, you can hardly see the strict hierarchy on the street, even if it is the prime minister's sedan chair, the people still dare to grab the road with you, and it is rare to see the scene of sincere fear and avoidance.
Of course, there are also some people who are particularly strong in cleaning the streets, and usually such people are not high-ranking officials, but street bullies, or gentlemen like Gao Yanei.
Yang Yi leaned against the wall of the car, looking a little lazy, Qing Niang asked with some concern, "Brother Yang, are you okay?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, wait for the next time I see something good, Brother Yang, I'll make sure my eyes light up."
Yang Yi thought he could make Qing Niang laugh, but he didn't want to see her pretty face floating red, strange, I didn't say anything! Why did this make the little girl blush?
"Sister Bi'er must be very reluctant to Brother Yang, right?" When she asked this sentence, the girl's face turned even redder, like two peach blossoms.
Because the parting is imminent, Yang Yi is now watering the goblin Han Bi'er with his heart every night; And Han Bier, even more exhausted, holding the moon in her arms, Guanyin sitting on the lotus, springing in return, full of flattery, just hope to seize the time to conceive a man and half a woman, so it is strange to sleep well at night.
Yang Yi was stunned for a while, ah! Looking at Qingniang's appearance, she clearly guessed something! At this age, it's a bit precocious, right?
"Well, I'm a little reluctant, Brother Yang, I'm a good person!"
"Hee-hee!"
"Qingniang, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing!"
"Little girl!"
…… The two of them were talking and laughing, lying on the car window together, enjoying the morning song of the street scenes of Tokyo:
Farmers who had just entered the city walked briskly carrying dew-stained greens, and a few children followed behind them singing nursery rhymes; Several craftsmen are skillfully tying up the door of the colorful building for the soon-to-be-opened shop, which is a mountain-shaped flower stand, and the eaves are drooping with colorful tassels, which are beautiful; The eagle falcons waiting to be sold in the falcon shop were chirping happily in the morning sun, and several ladies could not help but stop to watch; The incense on the incense shop mat is mixed with the fragrance of flowers on the street, attracting a few butterflies to flutter; The door of the inn was pushed open by a few bearded men with fine furs on their shoulders, and a string of exotic noises wafted in the morning breeze; The lady of the oil cake shop was frying the oil cake while smiling and greeting the guests who entered the door; The official matchmaker dressed like a noblewoman swaggered through the market with a red umbrella, probably busy helping which son and lady to match; The old woman carrying the bag took a calm little step, smiled kindly, patted the tall red doors along the street, and sold pearls to the nobles' houses.
The diligent scholar held the scroll in his hand, and walked slowly on the willow-shaded tooth road by the river, as if no one was around, and the sound of the book and the sound of the oars on the river.
Qing Niang was lying beside Yang Yi, with a faint smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were bent like the moon, and the morning breeze blowing in from the car window gently stirred the hair on her forehead, with a flowing beauty; Yang Yi couldn't help pinching her small nose, and said with a smile: "Qing Niang, look, how beautiful!" In the future, don't keep lying on the window at home, if you want to lie down, let's lie on the car window! ”
"Hehe, it's not good to be old and have fun alone!"
"How is this play? Don't forget your task, give Brother Yang and me to identify antiques. ”
"Uh-huh, someone wrote it down!"
While talking, the car entered Panlou Street, where there is the largest gold and stone antique market in Tokyo, all kinds of gold jewelry shops, silverware shops, pearl and agate stores, calligraphy and painting, jade, and antique shops abound, and the daily transaction volume here is no less than millions of yuan; In particular, there are many silverware shops, and in the city of Tokyo, high-end restaurants use silverware to serve wine and food, and take-out wine and food are mostly served in silverware, so that customers can take it home, and the store will come to collect it the next day; In a top-notch restaurant like Fan Lou, you can hardly see porcelain plates and bamboo chopsticks, which are extremely luxurious; This, combined with the widespread emphasis on luxury in the daily life of the noble and magnate families, has led to a huge volume of transactions in the Tokyo gold, silver and jade market.
After the two got off the bus on Panlou Street, Yang Yi took Qing Niang to a nearby calligraphy and painting shop, where in addition to famous calligraphy and painting, also sold a variety of famous inkstones and gold and stone seals; As soon as the shopkeeper saw the two people entering the store, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said: "Two guest officers hurry up and please come inside, two are the first batch of guests in the store today, according to the rules of the store, the first guest to enter the store every day, as long as you buy the store's gold and stone calligraphy and painting, you can enjoy the store's nine-percent discount." ”
When Yang Yi heard this, he smiled at Li Qingzhao and said: "Qingniang, I really responded to that sentence, the early birds have insects to eat, it seems that we all have to hurry up in the future!" ”
Qing Niang pursed her lips and smiled, before she could answer, the fast-talking shopkeeper continued: "This big official said that he laughed, in fact, even if he was not the first to enter the store, as long as the things purchased exceeded 1,000 runs, the store gave preferential prices, the big officials, please see, the famous calligraphy and painting of the store are complete, Duan Yan, She Yan, Taohe Yan have everything, Lantian jade carving, Shoushan stone is exquisite......"
Thousands of discounts? Is there still less Chikan? If converted into RMB, it is 300,000, which is almost enough to sell a top girl! Yang Yi muttered secretly in his heart, this store's abacus is really a ghost.
"Qing Niang, it's up to you!"
As soon as Yang Yi said this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be stunned, he thought that the little girl was just brought by Yang Yi to play, but he didn't expect that it was the protagonist, he said in front of Yang Yi for a long time, it was all in vain!
Qing Niang grinned, pulled Yang Yi to a piece of Shoushan stone, pointed to a piece of egg-yellow jade and said, "Brother Yang, look, this is a rare Tianhuang frozen mile in Shoushan stone!" Fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm, condensed, the six virtues of the seal stone are complete, the most suitable for use as a seal, Brother Yang, you touch it! ”
As soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, he was about to interject and introduce hard, Yang Yi first made a silent gesture to him, and then said to Qing Niang: "Qing Niang, according to me, this jade is so-so, the shopkeeper!" Take it down for me! ”
Waiting for the shopkeeper to turn around and get the jade on the shelf, Yang Yi quickly leaned into Qing Niang's ear and whispered: "Qing Niang, we are here to buy things, we can't boast, we can only lose, understand?" ”
After speaking, he patted his money bag, and made Qing Niang smile so much that her waist was bent, and she also came up and whispered: "Brother Yang, we don't have to buy it, you said that let the family teach you to appreciate the gold and stone, and people naturally have to teach it in front of the real thing, so that you can easily understand!" ”
"It's not proper, it's not proper, as long as it's what you like, we'll sell it first, and then you can teach me slowly after you go back! These merchants are too shrewd, and if you boast about it, he will definitely raise the price. ”
"Don't be afraid, Brother Yang looks at me!"
Qing Niang grinned, and when the shopkeeper took down the jade, after she took it, she carefully taught Yang Yi how to appreciate it, and didn't say buy it when it was over, so she let the shopkeeper put it back.
The shopkeeper is going to smash the business when he sees it, what kind of line is this?
He hurriedly said: "Two guest officers, this piece of Tian Huang Jelly is the treasure of the store's town store, warm and moist, it is really the best that can not be found, how many guests are reluctant to sell the store at a high price, the two are the earliest guests to enter the store today, with a unique vision, at a glance on this piece of the best Tian Huang Jelly, this first transaction can not be done, so let's do it, the store endures the pain, and sells it to the two at the lowest price, in order to get off to a good start." ”
The shopkeeper's mouth is like a river, gushing endlessly, holding the piece of Tian Huang Bing in his palm, constantly boasting in front of the two, Qing Niang reluctantly looked at the Shoushan stone twice, and said to the shopkeeper: "Your piece of Tian Huang Jelly is indeed very good, and the price must be very expensive!" ”
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the original price is 1,500 guan, since the two of you have taken a fancy to this Shoushan stone at a glance, it can be regarded as a fateful person, if you want it, you can take it for 1,300 guan."
The shopkeeper's eyes became bright and bright, and he looked at Qing Niang without blinking; Qing Niang looked at Tian Huangbing reluctantly again, her eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, slowly dimmed, and her reluctant and pitiful appearance made people's hearts throb, and the morning light outside seemed to be gray all of a sudden.
She shook her head and muttered, "Thank you, shopkeeper, it's just ...... My eldest brother has just lost his office, and now he only has a thousand yuan on his body, and we still can't afford your jade, alas! ”
Now the city of Tokyo is full of dismissed officials, this is true, seeing that the little girl is about to cry, the distressing little appearance makes the shopkeeper sigh, even Yang Yi, who is standing aside and pretending to be secretly sad, feels that the shopkeeper is facing such a cute and poor little girl, and if she doesn't sell it again, it is simply hard-hearted, and she is simply a criminal!
Anyway, Yang Yi felt that if he was the shopkeeper, he would have been moved by Qing Niang's pitiful state, not to mention a thousand guan, I am afraid that nine hundred guan would be sold.
"Since the two of you like it so much, and you are in trouble, the right to find a destined person for this piece of jade, and the two of you will take it!"
Sure enough, the shopkeeper finally couldn't resist it, but as soon as the jade was handed over to Qing Niang, Yang Yi saw him show a look of regret, Yang Yi just wanted to pay and leave quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Who knew that Qing Niang said again at this time: "Thank you for the shopkeeper!" You just said that the first customer who enters the store every day will get a 10% discount, does that still count? My big brother and I haven't had breakfast yet! ”
After speaking, she also glanced at her small slender waist, well, the little waist is about to bend in the wind, and I am afraid that no one will believe it when she eats, pitiful!
Oops! Why did you forget to discount this one? The shopkeeper's complexion is uncertain, and a thousand guan can make a few bucks to be honest, but if it is nine hundred, it is really a loss-making business, but the merchant pays attention to integrity, even if you lose money, you can only admit it.
Yang Yi pulled Qing Niang into the carriage, and finally couldn't help but fall on the mat and laugh non-stop, Qing Niang also laughed, and there was a kind of anxiety on her face as if she was stealing something for the first time!
"Qing Niang, you've learned badly! Learn to deceive! ”
"But, Brother Yang, aren't you really demoted, and people are not liars!"
"Hmm! Reasonable! How did I forget that I was demoted? No way! Let's hurry to the next one! ”
"Yikes! Brother Yang, this time people are not coming, such a thing, I will feel uneasy when I do it! ”
"Uneasy? What's unsettling? In this way, the eldest brother will give you a number, and you will be called Yi'an Jushi! Yi'an Yi'an, so that your heart can always be at ease, right? ”
"Yi'an Jushi?"
"Doesn't it sound good?"
"Nice! It's Brother Yang's natural sound. ”
The girl nodded her little head and smiled sweetly.
Yang Yi couldn't cry or laugh, what do you call me sound good? This is clearly your own, why is your memory so bad? Ten years later, why can't I remember it at all?
