The two walked along the long street, turned the alley, and walked for a while before they came to the place that Su Qinglang said.

Different from just now, the scale of this store is obviously much larger, the store alone occupies three or four rooms, the cars and horses in front of the door are like dragons, people come and go, like flowing water, and the things placed inside are also dazzling, luxurious and exquisite, looking not ordinary things, as if they fell out of some official mansions.

Su Qinglang said: "This shop is also famous in Chang'an City, and it is very close to Guozijian. ”

said, smiled helplessly, and said: "At that time, the monthly expenses were all smashed into this store, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, miscellaneous utensils, all kinds of things, I bought a bunch of them, but they were rarely used at home. ”

When Mei Liusheng heard this, he also lowered his head and smiled, and said: "Sometimes, it is also a good thing to be talked about, Brother Su must have lived a very happy life when he was young. ”

Thinking of Mei Liusheng's early death of his parents, the uncle who helped him study, all suffered from the plague, Su Qinglang suddenly felt speechless.

He tilted his head sideways, as if relieved, and said softly: "People have different experiences, the so-called fate, joys and sorrows, often so, everything must be seen better." ”

Mei Liusheng was stunned for a moment, heard the meaning of his words, and nodded with a light smile.

Seeing Su Qinglang turn around again, he asked, "When Brother Mei was young, there were no interesting things to think about, is there anything to think about for yourself?" ”

Mei Liusheng was silent for a moment before replying: "When I was young, my father was extremely strict, and he was always very busy, and he hardly saw anyone, and as for my mother, she had a weak temperament and rarely cared about me, plus she died very early, so I have very few memories about them. ”

After a pause, he spoke again: "But when I was seven years old, I went hunting with my father in the mountains, and I encountered a wild bear on the way, and my father was seriously injured to protect me, and almost died, and our father and son worked together to kill the wild bear, which should be the happiest memory in my heart......"

Su Qinglang turned around and saw Mei Liusheng's expression solemn, not as light as before.

He thought for a moment before he said: "I still remember that when I was young, it snowed in the winter, and I had to use a folding fan to support my face, and I always felt that doing that was the only way to be considered a merry and talented person, but in fact, my head hurt by the cold wind, until now, if I don't hold something in my hand, it seems that something is missing, no wonder the little brother of the Lu family will say it." ”

When Mei Liusheng heard this, he lowered his eyes and smiled, and replied: "Lord Lu is young and ignorant, and he has no intention of offending Brother Su, and I also ask Brother Su not to be like him. ”

Su Qinglang shook his head, but there was a bit of appreciation between his eyebrows, and said: "He is not young and ignorant, but straightforward and fast-talking, such a person is better than a person with a sweet belly." ”

Mei Liusheng was stunned again, he thought that Lu Xun would be annoyed by him if he offended Su Qinglang so much, but he didn't expect Su Qinglang to have a good impression of this little brother Lu Xun.

Thinking back to Jia Siqi, who was complimented by his family and stuffed silver into Shangshu Mansion all day long, he was squeezed by Su Qinglang to the point that his body was incomplete, and the relationship between people was really changeable and weird.

Raising his eyes, he saw that Su Qinglang had already walked in, and he also followed the footsteps, and the shopkeeper in the shop was talking to the guests, and he was full of interest and talked endlessly when introducing things.

Turning his head and seeing Su Qinglang coming, followed by a young man in ink clothes, he felt that the scene was familiar, déjà vu, and he was in a trance for a while, as if he was in another world, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

It was only after seeing the young man's face that he came to his senses and hurriedly handed the things to the guy next to him.

Straightened his clothes, greeted him and arched his hand: "I said what is the name of the magpie this morning, it was Lord Shangshu who came here, it is really a great honor to make the small shop flourish." ”

Su Qinglang was very useful when he heard this, he swept the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you really feel honored, you can take some good things out later, don't go to school twice before, sell dog meat with a sheep's head, and introduce some fakes to me." ”

The shopkeeper was very frightened, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, Lord Shangshu is here, and the villain should offer the best things in the store, where do you dare to use shoddy products to coax adults?" ”

After a pause, he said: "A new batch of things have been introduced today, adults take a look, but they can still be seen?" ”

was about to lead the way, but was stopped by Su Qinglang and said, "I'll come here to take a look, you can just be busy first, you don't need to say hello." ”

The shopkeeper sighed, and said a lot of good things, seeing that Su Qinglang was not in high spirits, and had no intention of dealing with him, he gave up his hand and retreated, and let them move on their own.

Seeing that the store was walking away, Su Qinglang approached Mei Liusheng, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The things here are quite exquisite, if Brother Mei needs anything in the future, you can come here to find it, but you have to be cautious, many things that have been confiscated by the imperial court have not been registered, and the little officials below will take them here to sell, in case you accidentally buy this, I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." ”

Mei Liusheng nodded, responded yes, and saw him walk towards a shelf, and said confidently: "But I am familiar with this place, if you want to buy something, you can look for me, with me, I will not buy that kind of thing of unknown origin." ”

He stretched out his hand and took down a dagger from the shelf, which was about eight inches long, and the sheath was carved with the flow of clouds and waves, and several precious stones were inlaid in it.

It's just that the age is old, the gem has lost its original luster, and the lines of the scabbard are also deposited with dark stains.

He held the handle of the knife in his hand, and just wanted to pull it out to take a look, but there was a weak scholar, plus the dagger was not used all year round, and the inside was jerky, so he didn't pull it out after a few attempts.

Seeing this, Mei Liusheng walked over to do the work for him, easily pulled out the dagger, and handed it to him.

Su Qinglang looked at the sharp blade on the inside of the dagger, only to feel that the murderous aura in it was restrained, which made people feel cold all over the body, and said: "Brother Mei, the imperial city is no better than others, there is a sword monster hanging on your waist all day long, you have won the championship now, and I don't have anything to give you, so it is better to give this dagger to you as a congratulatory gift." ”

I tried to swing it twice, and I was very satisfied: "Although it is not as good as your long sword, it is okay to defend yourself." ”

Mei Liusheng looked at the dagger, his eyes paused, and Fang Cai's mind echoed, someone swore that 'With me, Baozhun Er will not buy anything from an unknown background'.

pulled his lips and said, "Forget it, Brother Su, you can do it if you have this intention, if you break the bill again, it will make me unhappy." ”

Su Qinglang raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "What's the matter, the treasure knife is given to the hero, since you and I are friends, why should we be so polite?" ”

As he spoke, he shoved the dagger into Mei Liusheng's hand, and turned around to look for something else.

Mei Liusheng was holding the dagger, his eyes were complicated, his mood was a little helpless, and he was a little speechless.

I was looking for it casually, but I saw a delicate pen holder on the table not far away, made of bamboo and wood, which looked like it was some years old.

The relief carved on it, there are small bridges and flowing waters, flowers, birds, insects, fish and beasts, the carving is exquisite, lifelike, ready to come out, it is very peculiar.

Su Qinglang was stunned for a while, stunned for a long time, and then reached out and took it in disbelief, looked at it in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The shopkeeper inadvertently glanced at the things in his hand, and suddenly frightened the three souls and flew seven spirits, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Oh, Lord Su, this thing can't be bought......"

Su Qinglang turned his gaze to him, and the shopkeeper suddenly felt weak, and said hesitantly: "This ...... This is not for sale, it was put here by mistake by the guy in the store who was ignorant. ”

Su Qinglang's face was a little pale, his expression was in a trance, as if he had been hit, his fingers were tightly grasping the pen holder, and he refused to let go.

Hearing this, he smiled sadly and said, "I like this thing very much, since it is not for sale, please give it to me, okay?" ”

Mei Liusheng heard the movement and walked over, but saw him put the purse on the table, untied the jade pendant sachet on his waist, and pushed it all in front of the store.

The words were sincere, even a little begging: "I will exchange these things with you, and ...... with that dagger"

Hearing this, Mei Liusheng looked at the pen holder, although the carving was peculiar, it was not a rare thing.

And it is slightly damaged, if you look closely, you can find that one of the plum trees has broken half of its branches, as if it was broken by someone, with Su Qinglang's identity, why do you have a soft spot for such a thing, and you can't help but be more puzzled.

The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "Since the adult is holding this thing, he must also know where it comes from, and the villain is unwilling to give it to you, but also for the sake of the adult, why should the adult be persistent?" ”

Su Qinglang lowered his head, looked at the pen holder and said: "The honey of A, the arsenic of B, you are not me, how can you know how important this thing is to me." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, since the adult really insists, and the villain will no longer stop him, he will give this thing to the adult." ”

Picking and choosing, he returned the jade pendant sachet to him, leaving only some silver, and said: "That dagger is not worth this price, these things, adults should take them back." ”

Su Qinglang thanked him, and carefully withdrew it in his hand along with the pen holder.

Walking out of the store, Mei Liusheng looked at the things in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Brother Su, is this ......?"

Su Qinglang smiled indifferently and replied: "It's just a relic of an old man, I don't want it to fall here, so that Brother Mei will laugh." ”

He staggered Mei Liusheng, walked ahead, walked in the bustling long street, and unconsciously, his eyes were red, and his clothes were wet with wordless tears.

Mei Liusheng stood in place, looking at the direction he left, only to feel that the surrounding prosperity was still there, and the flow of pedestrians was endless, but the back, desolate and silent, seemed to be alone.

The willows followed the wind, and the tender branches gently swept through the air, smudging into a pale green background, and the person was like a dream, and the apricot blossoms were like snow, falling one after another, falling all over the ground......
