Came to a crossroads and turned east, walked through a few shops is the temple street Zheng Ji leather goods store, everyone entered the courtyard larger than in Boli Prefecture, and there were their own left-behind men waiting.

Before it was dark, everyone had finished resting, and Xiao Wu beckoned everyone to the wine shop for dinner.

The street was still crowded with people, and there was a lantern every twenty or so paces on the street, and although it was not brightly lit, the characters could be seen clearly within ten steps.

Came to a tall wine shop, only to see that this building is three floors high, coarse wood paint, cornices painting wall, a lantern hanging, the people downstairs are visible, downstairs there are a hundred steps to the wide and long small square, enter the room is also full of friends, the main store of the temple street inn in the hall, the counter tables and chairs are also the same as the branch in Kangsuo Town, but the scale is larger, there are more than 20 square tables in the lobby are still not crowded, and there are four wings on both sides.

Xiao Wu went to the counter to greet one or two and took everyone to the second floor, the second floor is also a lobby, there are wings on both sides, eat in one of the wings, and the three tables are just filled with everyone.

After finishing the meal, Wang Jiangnan was still unsatisfied, Xiao Wu understood his thoughts, and said, "That Demon Wolf Tianxing went to Cave Island today, and he can only return tomorrow morning, and the Temple Street will entertain guests from all walks of life at noon tomorrow, and you will see you then."

So there was nothing to say all night, and the next day Wang Jiangnan got up early in the morning and took the two little ladies to the Temple Street Inn not far from Zheng Ji for breakfast. It's a pity that he hasn't met yet, and when he waits three feet high, he returns to the Zheng Ji courtyard, and Xiao Wu is busy handing over the cargo down the river in the morning and has no time to pay attention to it.

At noon, Wang Jiangnan urged Xiao Wu early, Xiao Wu couldn't, and arranged to take the three little ladies, the two shopkeepers of the Zheng family, the third princess Li Shushi Ximen Langjiang, the second shopkeeper of Wanhualou, and Jin Yixian of Liaodong, all of whom came to the Temple Street Inn again without an entourage of eleven people.

The temple street is more lively during the day, the three-story temple street inn also seems to stand out, the small square in front of the door is neatly filled with flowers, the colorful flags are waving in the wind, a red carpet in the middle is spread into the store, there are two rows of men with blue jackets and blue pants on the side, and there are ten people of different ages standing behind the two red silk schemes in front of the store, but they all look at the shrewd and exquisite men, Xiao Wu hurriedly went up and bowed his hands one by one, and introduced this to the two Zheng shopkeepers and the accompanying Zhang shopkeeper Jin Yixian This is the big shopkeeper of the top ten commercial houses in Temple Street.

After each other's greetings, the third princess Ximen Ying was silent, but Master Li and the three little ladies looked around curiously, and Xiao Wu and the four shopkeepers signed their names on a red book. The big shopkeeper of the fat and round-faced residential firm next to him smiled at the sky and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu is his own person, and you are responsible for entertaining the four shopkeepers and a few VIPs. ”

Xiao Wu hurriedly agreed, to the big shopkeeper personally guide everyone to the inn lobby, the lobby has been scattered some guests, look like businessmen from all over the world, Xiao Wu to everyone introduced the first floor is to entertain Far East Merchants Bank three-star customers, Temple Street Inn from today will be a big swing water seat, to participate in the Wanshang Trade Fair guests can come and go freely, at any time.

The staircase from the lobby to the second floor is also covered with a bright red wool carpet, and along the carpet to the staircase, a middle-aged man with an emerald jade wrench is also standing here, but it is the chief shopkeeper of the Far Eastern Group Ingot Treasure, and he returned to the reception outside the inn after handing over to the big shopkeeper.

The chief shopkeeper of the ingots gave a gift to everyone and guided them upstairs, up to the second floor, but there was an old man in a green robe standing aside, Xiao Wu hurriedly greeted the salute, and introduced to everyone that this is a business house to worship the business owner, Zheng 13 and Jin Yixian also hurriedly made a move, this merchant worship is a legend in the Far East, still in the Wu Tang Dynasty only a teenager broke into Kyoto, set up a huge family business, was summoned by the then empress Wu Cao sage, the empress was in trouble and scattered all the family wealth, and befriended the minister Zhang Yizhi at that time, just to let the terminally ill generation of empresses spend the rest of their lives in peace, every morning and dusk, Ruizong Yandan also had deep feelings, wanted to conquer its household department, was politely declined, Empress Yan came to the Far East alone after driving, and created a huge business house in ten years, in the early years of Shenlong, Emperor Yantang personally conquered Goryeo, and once again poured his family business to subsidize, was awarded Xuande Lang, the founder of the county male, and gave the silver fish bag. Shenlong was invited by the wolf group to worship in the fourth year.

Although Shang Xian is old, he is still in good spirits, caressing the three strands of silver beard, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu came with beautiful relatives today, and the temple street has also added a lot of color." Last year, when Bohai said goodbye, Zheng's shopkeeper was even more radiant."

After a joke, Shang offered to lead everyone up to the third floor, and there were two young people at the staircase on the third floor to greet everyone, with white robes and red bands, clear faces, and handsome looks, seeing that it was Xiao Wu, one of them smiled warmly: "The head of the Tianxing Regiment just said Xiao Wu, this can't just come" The other person also gave Zheng Shisan's shopkeeper a salute, "Zheng Shopkeeper is not harmed." The two are the new generation of Junyan of the wolf group, one is Xie Xiaotian, the second shopkeeper of the gem store, and the other is Wen Yufeng, the second shopkeeper of the money firm, Xiao Wu is familiar with him, and after a lively time, he turned the corridor and entered the lobby on the third floor.

The lobby on the third floor is slightly smaller than the first floor, surrounded by a fenced corridor, there are two wings on the right hand, there are not many people in the hall, more than 20 people, the first thing everyone sees is three meat mounds, the one standing is actually Zhangxu, white face bald head, fierce face, like angry King Kong, the two sitting are also a head taller than the others, and the Taishi chair under the seat is full, like two meat mountains.

There was a one-foot-high platform at the entrance of the hall, and at this time, several people dressed as operas were performing, and the musicians were playing the flute ensemble on the side, and the piano was playing in unison.

In front of the stage is three horizontal rows of seats, there are coffee tables in front of the seats, full of food, but in the middle of the front row is a backrest Arhat bed, there are a few in the center of the bed, and in the right hand sits a man dressed as a man with a hat, but in the left hand squats a young man with hair.

Wang Jiangnan asked Xiao Wu in disappointment, why is the Demon Wolf Tianxing not there?

Xiao Wu was just about to reply, when he noticed that someone had come in to watch the play, everyone turned around, squatted on the young man and said with a smile: "Look, just talking to you Xiao Wu, isn't this coming immediately?" As the saying goes, Cao Cao Cao arrived. ”

"I've seen the boss of the stars, the boss is auspicious," Xiao Wu hurriedly saluted.

"It's a vulgar word, but I love to listen" This person is the Demon Wolf Tianxing, and when he saw people coming in, he also changed from squatting to standing up, standing on the bed with his hands on his waist but just level with the King Kong-like man.

The three little ladies looked at the young man and looked at each other. Demon Wolf Tianxing has thick eyebrows and thin lips, a wide robe and brocade belt, black hair hanging down his shoulders, and a smile, which can be regarded as clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, handsome and straight. It's just that the smile is always a little bad, and the eyes are also unscrupulous on a few little ladies.

Although the man sitting is a Confucian costume and a scholar, he is blue-eyed and thick-haired, and he is clearly a Fanbang person. There is a mountain of meat sitting on the Taishi chair next to this person, and he is looking back at everyone, he is also bearded, and he is also a tribal person, this person smiled and said, "It's Xiao Wu, Tianxing is writing poems for you."

"Ha, I don't give him such a good sentence, that sentence is to describe myself" The demon wolf didn't wait for Xiao Wu to speak.

"The boss of Tianxing has a good poem coming out, when the big white is floating" Zheng 13 held his stinky feet next to him.

"Hmph, my talent is known to the world," the demon wolf crossed his waist with his hands and looked at the sky with his eyes, "You are a wealthy businessman who is a secular profiteer, and you also know how to appreciate poetry and songs?" ”

"That's that, although a certain businessman has also made friends with a few scholars, he has heard and seen it, and he can also taste a thing or two of the literary talents, the head of the Tianxing Regiment is very talented, why don't you chant and let me wait for fresh ears and eyes?"

"Okay, my sentence is the best: there is a dagger and a sword in his sleeve, and his eyes are shining"

"Okay, a good dagger sword with a sleeve, his eyes are shining, he is really brilliant, and he has relatives in his heart"

"Haha, how's that? This is the elegant person who can really appreciate poetry, like you and so on, one by one cheesy, my eternal quatrain is enough to surround the beam for three days"

Everyone looked at this extremely narcissistic guy standing on the Hu bed, pointing at the people around him, looking at each other speechlessly, the King Kong-like man had covered his face, and seemed to be deeply ashamed of having such a boss.

"Good poems, two sentences write the image of a heroic man with great ambitions, majestic and elegant, and the style is not bad," Zheng Sui'er also brightened his eyes and praised him.

"Eh, this little lady really said what I thought, bosom friend, bosom friend" The demon wolf Tianxing, who didn't know what modesty was, was even more proud. "Ah, three little ladies, you have shown me the incomparable beauty of this world"

"It's really nice to see the demeanor of the demon wolf star today, and to hear such wonderful verses" Wang Jiangnan did not show weakness.

"Ah, it was enough to have a bosom friend, who knew that life was full of surprises, and then met a good friend, fortunately" The kid continued to publicize.

"I don't know that the captain of the stars has to meet a good friend today, how can he not have good poems to help him?" Zheng Xiu'er fanned the flames next to her.

"Hey, it's also true to the article "Tianxing pacing on the Arhat bed", and I got it by chance, let me think about it carefully."

Next to him, Xie Xiaotian and Wen Yufeng were busy beckoning everyone to sit down, and just after greeting for a while, they heard Tianxing shouting: "Yes", he shook his head and chanted: "There is a confidant in the sea, if the world is next to each other." All over the world are brothers, and they are not old friends"

Everyone was shocked, and the bearded Fanbang Shizi next to him hurriedly took out a piece of paper and waved it to record. The three little ladies were also dumbfounded, could it be that the real identity of this world-famous sorcerer is a talented poet full of wealth?

"How? What do you think? "The Hailan Pao butcher, who had wiped out tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers of the Khanate in one battle, jumped off the Luohan bed like a child, and walked through two rows of chairs to the table where the three little ladies were seated, looking like a distant country meeting a neighbor.

"The two verses are rare and good, but together they have a patchwork feeling," Zheng Suier commented seriously.

"Yes, I think so too, the former sentence was my idol the day before yesterday, and the latter sentence I just came up with, it's really a bit scattered."

"Well, it's very good, I can come up with such a sentimental poem in a short time, the Great Warlock of the Heavenly Star is really not an ordinary person" Wang Jiangnan is a person who has a headache when he sees the Four Books and Five Classics on weekdays, but at this time he is holding his stinky feet without any discipline.

"Okay, the two little ladies will be my friends in the future, if there is anything to say hello in this temple street, if you have any needs, just say, come, serve good food" Dugu Tianxing was even happier.

"Captain Tianxing, don't you have a good poem, all brothers from all over the world? We're girls."

Zheng Xiuer poured cold water on the side.

"Hey, sister Xiu'er, why don't you know how to appreciate such a good quatrain? You have to study, in the future, if you follow Xiao Wu out, everyone will chant poems against you, what about you, you can't understand it when you stand aside, you will be embarrassed! Hey, in today's world, knowledge is wealth, knowledge is power, how to learn knowledge? Chat more with Yaren, the more you will understand, and gradually you will appreciate the talent of Ben Langjun."

The people in Temple Street are accustomed to doing their own things, and the second shopkeeper Zheng and the third princess look at each other.

"Hey, a certain name is Dugu Tianxing, I don't know the names of the two little ladies? Where to study? Dugu Tianxing ignored everyone, pulled a chair and sat back, and continued to be close to the two little ladies.

"Uhhh This time it's the turn of the two little ladies to be speechless, what kind of rhythm is this?

"I guess the two of them must be taught by famous teachers, and at first glance, they are knowledgeable, either from Guozijian or from Datang Academy? What do you do when you come to us? Ah, I guess it must be a study tour, as the saying goes, reading more than 10,000 volumes, it's better to travel thousands of miles, this will become a nerd if you stay in that college for a long time, come out and see more, and the inspiration will come immediately, which I can deeply understand, I stay in the temple street is a layman, as soon as I go out, I will be refreshed, and that inspiration is like diabetes insipidus... Uh, springs? This is a chatter, and everyone understands.

"Reading more than 10,000 volumes, it is better to travel thousands of miles, and it is a good poem" There is also a Fanbang scholar holding a paper record next to him.

Xiao Wu next to him hurriedly took the time to introduce "Boss Tianxing, this is the Zheng shopkeeper of our Zheng Ji Kyoto General Cabinet, this is the Zhang shopkeeper of Kyoto Wanhualou, Liaodong Jin Langjun, these are the nobles from Kyoto"

"Long admiration, long admiration, everyone comes to Temple Street, it is really full of brilliance, everyone eats and drinks well"

Dugu Tianxing hugged his fists.

"I have heard the prestige of the Great Magician of the Heavenly Star for a long time, and it is better to meet today than to see it," Shi Li Jingdao, the head of the Han Palace, replied with a long beard.

"False name, a certain is a little thin name in the countryside here, out of this Far East, we still have self-knowledge, compared with the nobles of Kyoto, that is the firefly to the bright moon, the village frog to the dragon" Tianxing heard the words and rarely humble.

"Where is it, a certain is an old official of the Han Palace, he can go to the Han Palace, if he has leisure, he can go to the Han Palace, and he should meet him."

"Cultural people, look, it's comfortable to talk to you all the time, unlike some people whose words are dry and tasteless" Tianxing said and looked at Zheng Xiu'er, feeling that this is still a villain's heart that must be repaid.

As he spoke, another white-faced scholar-looking young man took a few merchants upstairs, and when he saw Tianxing greeting him from afar, Tianxing couldn't, so he hurriedly said that he would talk later, and got up to greet him.
