Chapter 042: Soulmates are hard to find

On the third floor of the Zuixiang Building, Qin Xuan chatted happily with Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Taizong, until the curfew bell rang, and he still couldn't give up.

The restaurant is finally on the right track, and Du Xingwen is responsible for managing the matter, and Qin Xuan is at ease, living in the house, preparing to hibernate.

One day, the cuckoo had nothing to do, and thought that Qin Xuan was alone in the west courtyard all day, so he wanted to find out, and walked towards the west courtyard with interest. Passing through the arch of the west courtyard, the cuckoo smelled a pungent and choking smell. The fox bent his head suspiciously, and said in his heart: Why is there such a choking smell?

tiptoed to the door of the room where Qin Xuan was staying, and carefully pushed the wooden door open a gap. stepped forward and saw Qin Xuan sloppy squatting on the ground, not knowing what he was stuffing into the bamboo pipe. Du Juan frowned slightly, and thought to himself: Brother Xuan, what are you doing? Is it something fun? Thinking of this, he pushed the door in, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Xuan, what the hell are you doing, you are smoky, and you have made yourself disgraced." Isn't Mo doing something fun? ”

Qin Xuan suddenly heard the voice, turned around in fright, and when he saw the cuckoo, he was shocked and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Juan Er, what are you doing here?" ”

When Du Juan heard Qin Xuan's words, he pouted and said angrily: "Why don't you think about yourself, hiding in the West Courtyard all day long, what the hell are you doing?" Isn't it fun? ”

Qin Xuan smiled and said, "It is indeed a novel object!" ”

In an instant, the cuckoo's displeasure was thrown out of the clouds, and he happily stepped forward and asked, "What object, I want to play!" ”

Qin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go and go, go out first, and then talk about it when I get it done!" ”

The cuckoo snorted coldly: "Hmph, what's the big deal! He turned around and left in a huff.

After the cuckoo left, Qin Xuan then stuffed the black powder on the side into the bamboo pipe by himself. After stuffing it, he said to himself, "What should be replaced by the fuse?" "Rubbing his long hair, he meditated in anticipation.

Suddenly thinking of something, he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, the flax thread is stained with oil, isn't it!" He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm so stupid!" ”

Striding to the main courtyard, he saw Xiao Cui holding a wooden basin and was about to pour water, and beckoned: "Xiao Cui!" ”

Xiao Cui put the wooden basin on the ground and ran with small steps. "Childe, what's the matter?"

Qin Xuan smiled and said with concern: "Xiaocui, are you still used to it?" ”

Xiao Cui stretched out her hand and brushed the bun around her ear, nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

Qin Xuan's face was kind, and he said in a gentle tone: "That's good!" By the way, Xiaocui, what kind of oil is in the oil lamp we use at night, can you help me find some, and by the way, find another piece of flax thread! ”

Xiao Cui looked at Qin Xuan suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Childe, what do you want these for?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that, help me find some!"

Soak the flax thread that Xiao Cui found in oil. After a while, stuffing one end into the bamboo pipe, Qin Xuan looked happy and muttered, "It should be no problem now!" ”

Picked up the bamboo pipe and ran to the courtyard, looked west for a long time, but did not find any good position, so he put the bamboo pipe in the courtyard and lit the flax thread more than three feet long.

With a "bang", the bamboo pipe made a loud sound, and Qin Xuan ran to him excitedly. picked up the bamboo pipe, and immediately said in disappointment: "After tossing for several days, the firecrackers that come out can only be heard, and even the bamboo pipe can't be exploded!" ”

When Qin Xuan was in a daze, Qian Ruyu, who heard the voice, looked flustered and stared at Qin Xuan very puzzled.

Qin Xuan looked up and saw Qian Ruyu, stretched out his hand and touched his face, slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "That...... How did you get here? ”

Qian Ruyu stepped forward quickly, slightly reproachful, but with a trace of concern, and said angrily: "You also said that you have to take the Li family brothers out of the house, otherwise if you make such a big move, she won't come to mess around with you!" ”

Qin Xuan lowered his head embarrassedly. "The ......"

Qian Ruyu continued: "There are three elders in the family, and they are old, can't you be more stable?" Fortunately, I was chatting with the three elders just now, and when I heard the sound, they wanted to come, if I hadn't stopped you for you, I don't know how they would have lectured you! ”

Qin Xuan smiled. "I know that Yu'er is the best!"

Qian Ruyu directly turned her head and snorted coldly: "Come less!" Brother Xuan, you should reflect on it, since I followed you to Kyoto, what has become of you! ”

Qin Xuan muttered in his heart: What has become of me, am I not me anymore? Slightly dissatisfied, he turned his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Qian Ruyu suddenly felt aggrieved, her eyes were red, and she sobbed: "Originally, I also found such a lovely person as you, who knew that you ......"

Qin Xuan heard Qian Ruyu's words and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Qin Xuan's words, not knowing what was wrong, Qian Ruyu suddenly hated iron and steel, and sobbed: "What's wrong with you?" Don't you know? Shinong industry and commerce, even I, as a female streamer, know everything in my chest, but you open a restaurant in a high-sounding manner! With a full stomach for money, not thinking about contributing to the country, not wanting to show your ambitions, living in the house all day long, tossing some strange and strange arts, this is the great ambition you once said to me? ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he secretly said in his heart: I was really wrong, I shouldn't have told you about these things about the equality of men and women, and now they all started to accuse me. "When it comes to opening a restaurant, even the prime minister has never looked down on me, so what kind of anger are you?"

When Qian Ruyu heard Qin Xuan's quibble, she felt even more aggrieved, and said sharply: "What is the relationship between Fang Xiang and you, but it is just because you have some talent, and I think that you opened a tavern is just a temporary idea." It's strange to know that you don't want to make progress all day long, and I will take care of you! ”

Qian Ruyu's words made Qin Xuan angry, and he snorted coldly: "Could it be that you just fell in love with my so-called full belly, and didn't fall in love with me as a person?" Isn't it your beloved Brother Xuan who doesn't have great ambitions and spends his life comfortably? After finishing speaking, Qin Xuan left directly.

Qian Ruyu squatted on the ground, hugging her head and crying. Xindao: Brother Xuan, don't you understand my original intention? Can't you see that Yu'er is thinking about you, can't you......

Leaving the west courtyard and returning to the room, Qin Xuan sat on the chair and sulked himself. "Hmph, what's wrong with me not having big ambitions, can't I pursue the life I want? I still treat you as my beloved, and I want to stay with you until I am ......"

After a long time, Qin Xuan calmed down his dissatisfaction a little, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went to lunch.

Qin Xuan saw that Qian Ruyu didn't come, and he didn't say anything, so he sat directly on the Hu chair and prepared to eat.

Du Huizhen noticed something strange and asked, "Zhihao, why didn't Yu'er come to dinner?" ”

Qin Xuan raised his head and said casually, "How could I know!" ”

Du Huizhen had never seen Qin Xuan care so indifferently about Qian Ruyu, and couldn't help frowning. Seeing this, Zhang Lao interjected: "Zhihao, what happened, let's hear it, if there is a quarrel, maybe we can help you make peace!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he raised his head and said, "I ......" and stopped, paused, and said, "It's nothing!" ”

Zhang Lao said again: "Zhihao, let's listen to it, is there something that can't be told to my uncle?" ”

Qin Xuan sighed and said, "I had a few words of argument before!" ”

Du Huizhen hurriedly said: "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Xuan said helplessly: "Yu'er actually complained about me, thinking that I didn't want to make progress all day long, and said that what kind of farmer and businessman, and what did he say about opening a restaurant is a matter of self-surrender!" ”

Zhang Lao said with a beard: "What Yu'er said is good! Zhihao, as a scholar, you are full of wealth, you really shouldn't be like this, you should show your ambitions! ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he was speechless. "Ambition? Uncle, can't I just live a dull, comfortable, and leisurely life? ”

Zhang Lao put down the chopsticks in his hand and reproached: "The husband should contribute to the country, how can he be so depraved!" ”

Qin Xuan got up directly and said, "Can't you understand me, the life I want most is not like that!" "Turn around and go.

Zhang Lao was so angry that he got up and said sharply: "I never thought that you would be a coward, you don't deserve to be called a literati at all!" ”

Rui'er shouted childishly: "Uncle, didn't you educate me that the eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements; Born in Taiping, should carry 10,000 books and practice the power of the temple! ”

Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, then quickened his pace and walked out of the mansion directly......

Walking on the cold bluestone street, Qin Xuan couldn't stop asking in his heart: Is it me who is wrong, or are you wrong? Raising his head and looking at the sky, Qin Xuan shouted in his heart: God, please, send me back to the next generation, a person with a mind like me will not survive in the Tang Dynasty at all......

Aimless, wandering. Inadvertently, Qin Xuan actually walked to Pingkangli Fang, a famous gathering place in Chang'an. Qin Xuan glanced up at the so-called ancient Qinglou, and said with a wry smile in his heart: If I can't be a comfortable rich old man, can't I become a gentleman!

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan walked directly into the name "Huaixiang Building", and after walking a few steps, several so-called dusty women stepped forward to greet him. "Yo, this son, looking at the face, it's the first time to come to our Huaixiang Building!"

Qin Xuan nodded stiffly and replied, "It's indeed the first time I've come!" ”

When the woman saw Qin Xuan, who was quite handsome and behaved very restrained, she squeezed her eyebrows at Qin Xuan, showing her feminine charm.

Qin Xuan was indifferent, looked at the noisy hall, and sighed softly: "Huaixiang Building is so lively!" ”

When the woman heard this, she said coquettishly: "Oh, son, this is all here to find the top brand of Huaixianglou Oiran Manyun girl!" ”

Qin Xuan tilted his head slightly and asked, "Oh? Oiran? ”

The woman saw that Qin Xuan was interested in Manyun, and replied directly and coldly: "Miss Manyun doesn't just say that she will see her, she only accepts customers once a day, and she still sells her art and not her body!" Besides, there will be a poetry competition later, many talents, don't miss her! ”

Originally, he wanted to dispel Qin Xuan's curiosity about Manyun, but he didn't expect to directly make Qin Xuan make up his mind. "Oh? Really? In that case, I want to give it a try and see if I can meet the Oiran Manyun girl! ”
