Chapter 240: Don't Come Unharmed
This place is definitely a place that only the gentry can come to, not to mention the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the house for the time being, even a few pots of fragrant flowers and plants in the corner, Jige feels that it is worth a lot, he only knows that a bowl of beef noodles is five dollars of silver, and a lantern is only two dollars, but here, it is an existence that he dare not imagine.

The old man didn't reply, looked at him for a long time, smiled at him, and then picked up the scattered silver on the coffee table by himself, picked them up one by one, and carefully blew them clean, as if the oily sandalwood table was not very clean.
In Jige's eyes, he naturally thought that the old man was disappointed, he stayed where he was, his face turned red for a while, and it was naturally too late to leave at this moment, it was better than eating an overlord meal and being dragged out.
As soon as he was about to speak, he saw the old man get up, pat him on the shoulder, hand over the silver one by one, and said softly: "Child, you don't have to worry, you have collected all your money, I said to invite you to dinner, naturally I invited." ”
The old man spoke proudly and proudly, giving Jig a feeling of great honor to be treated by him.
Since the old man still didn't understand what he meant, then leave it to fate, Jige nodded and didn't say anything, put away the silver, and the two of them were thrown out together later.
The two maids were very fast, and the round table was full of dishes in just a quarter of an hour, with a complete set of dishes, a full eighteen dishes, almost all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies that Shan Yi knew, and then there were a few drawers of steaming xiaolongbao, which was really extravagant.
Jige made up his mind, he would not be restrained, and he would not regret being beaten if he ate too much.
He got up and picked up the wine jug, filled a glass to the old man, and added a glass to himself, bent down his hands and saluted: "Thank you for taking care of the old gentleman today, so that the younger generation can have this blessing and be able to eat so many delicacies." ”
The old man sat down in his seat, lightly touched his glass, and then waved his hand again and again, motioning for him to sit down.
"You're welcome, let's eat"
After the old man said this, he immersed himself in eating, and occasionally had leisure, lifted the wine jug and filled it with a glass, and drank it all, which never stopped.
Seeing that he was swept by the wind and clouds, he ate quickly, and the whole person was like a wolf and a tiger, and he had a great situation of letting go of eating. Gig pinched his nose and shook his head secretly.
I can't prevent it, and I don't have to eat it anymore, Jige himself is also an authentic eater, how can he allow others to hesitate for a while in front of the food, and he lost the opportunity for a while, and he was angry at the moment, and hurriedly picked up the size of the long bun on the side, and then made the trick Hu eat Haisai, and the mouth and hand kept changing, and in a moment a drawer of buns disappeared, and his mouth was full.
During the old man's appreciative smile at him, he also used a trick to grab the dishes with a thousand hands, only to see the chopsticks like the wind, the plates kept piling up, but the chopsticks were only a pair, and finally the chopsticks stopped and fell, Jige secretly counted, stunned on the spot, no more, no less, a full eighteen smooth and bright plates.
Awesome, old brother, Jige was dumbfounded, he couldn't speak, the old man took a handkerchief, wiped it, picked up the wine jug and poured two sips, and then smiled at Jige: "Young man, the old man has always thought that only he eats vigorously, but he doesn't want you to be a fast person, it's really not ordinary." ”
"Don't dare to be, the old gentleman's strange things have opened my eyes, it's really high" Jige said politely, thinking that back then, he was also known as a person who had no friends when he ate.
"The dinner table is like a battlefield, how can you be pretending to be polite, but I am still very optimistic about you, young man." The old man walked backwards, his face was shiny, got up and walked out, standing on the railing and looking at the scenery.
Gig made two cups of tea and followed. The autumn breeze is cool, and the noon is not so hot, facing the river, weeping willows, and fishermen driving small boats to cast nets to catch fish.
"There aren't many people in the younger generation who are as helpful as you and don't want anything in return." The old man took the teacup, looked at the vista and said in a deep voice.
"Don't hide it from the old man, I can't stand being praised by others, and how can I say that I don't want to reciprocate" Jige touched his nose and smiled at him: "You don't know yet, you have the martial arts cheats on the stall, but I peeked at it." ”
"It's a trivial matter, I put the books there for others to appreciate, if you are interested, what does it matter if you peek at them all." The old man seemed to like his honesty, stroked his beard, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.
The tea in the cup had been drunk, and the old man looked into the distance.
It's time to come.
Jige said: "Sir, you wait above, let me communicate with the shopkeeper of this restaurant, negotiate the price, and then inform you." ”
"You won't run away without permission, just leave me, a lonely old man, here," the old man asked with a smile in his eyes.
"No, please rest assured." Jige thought about it for a while, his worry was not unreasonable, and he immediately untied the sword behind him, handed it to him and said, "If the old gentleman is not at ease, the junior will send you the sword on his body."

"Alright then, you go and get back quickly." The old man took the saber and rubbed the tightly wrapped strip of cloth on it.
When Jige came downstairs, a little guy bent down to say goodbye: "Welcome to come back next time." ”
He came to the counter, carrying the loose silver in his pocket, and asked with an embarrassed face: "I don't know how much the cost of the No. 1 room in Tianzi is."
The bookkeeper looked surprised, he was a white and tender student before the meeting, and replied: "Tianzi No. 1 room, the cost of each meal is fixed, five hundred taels at a time, why are you asking this?"
My God, it is so expensive, the door is in front of him, Jige turned around and wanted to leave, and remembered the old man who was isolated in the wind above, and said "thank you" to the bookkeeper, and then raised his feet and walked upstairs, his mind was racing, and he really had no choice but to go to Zhai Lao and ask him to put on the mat first.
Ji Ge just raised his feet and went upstairs, and a small guy next to him came over and said to the bookkeeper: "Lao Yu, have you forgotten that this Tianzi No. 1 room has been contracted by Miss Diao for a month."
"yes, my head, why didn't I think about it." The bookkeeper patted his head, his face turned miserable, and then he looked shocked and asked, "But what did the guest officer ask about just now?"
"Who knows" The little guy shrugged, and when a guest urged him to drink, he picked up a pot of wine and said, "Come on, your best elixir and jade liquor are here." ”
Jige's heart was heavy, and his steps were a little slow, and when he moved up, the old man was still looking at the scenery, and the wind was light.
"How about talking, they didn't embarrass you," seemed to see the worry in Gig's eyes, and he handed back his sword and said in a voice of concern.
"Nope." Jige shook his head, deliberately trying to hide it, but after thinking about it, he told the truth: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to pay back the five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Five hundred taels of silver will be returned" Now it was the turn of the old man to be puzzled, his expression was stunned, and his tone was surprised.
Ling Jige felt even more that if the old man was asked to repay the money, he was afraid that he would faint on the spot.
"You don't have to worry, I invited you, so naturally I should return it." Jige subconsciously held his arm, but he was really afraid that he would come to the spot.
The old man groaned for a while, as if he had figured out the whole thing, and grabbed his arm and smiled kindly: "You come with me." ”
Jige was still there all the way, but the old man grabbed his arm tightly, went downstairs, and said to the bookkeeper: "Dare to ask Mr., Tianzi No. 1 room, but it is under Fang Qinghan's name."
"Yes, yes, I don't know who you are" The bookkeeper saw the old man mention Miss Fang's name, and immediately put down the account book and walked out of the counter.
"It turned out to be you, I don't know if it's your boss" The old man took out a wooden sign from his cuff, and the bookkeeper suddenly looked nervous and said in a trembling voice.
The old man raised his eyebrows, flicked his sleeves and stopped: "The money for this meal is free."
"That's nature, that's nature." The bookkeeper only promised and bowed down to see him off.
"Now, you can finally rest assured," the old man put his hands behind his back and smiled at Jige, and stepped out of the door first.
"I didn't expect it, it's really your treat" Jige didn't understand at the moment, and immediately grabbed two steps and followed up to apologize:
"It's the kid's clumsiness."
It's full of flowers, but it's a little lively outside.
"Still, your old wooden sign works." Gig chatted as he walked.
"That's nature, this brand, ordinary people can't hold it." The old man was slightly drunk, his face was wine red, and his face and words were quite frivolous.
"What do you mean by that?" Jig saw that his steps were frivolous, and stepped forward to help him, puzzled.
"I'll tell you, this wooden sign is the only one in this small town of Russ, and it's the only one" The old man suddenly became alert, glanced at him, and said, "Why are you asking this if you kid is fine?"
"It doesn't mean anything else, it's just a long experience." Ji Ge sneered, I just heard the excitement, I didn't expect you to stop abruptly, and hang my appetite to death.
The two walked and chatted, walking towards the small stall from near and far.
From a distance, I saw that there were people gathered together, expressing their opinions, and still approaching the stalls inside.
The old man nodded and smiled at Jige, blushing rosacea, and explained: "You see, in this case, it is usually the seller who has something great to sell, and everyone is fair, so they will naturally come forward to negotiate a reasonable price. ”
Gig let out an oh and began to pay attention.
The periphery was impassable, and there seemed to be many officers and soldiers in the figure shuttle, carrying something, Jige glanced at it, and felt a little familiar.
"Don't look at this small Yunjian Alley, the feelings of everyone in it are really different, I set up a stall here all the year round, I value this kind of neighborhood and family atmosphere." The old man furrowed his brows, pointed at the crowd from afar, and continued to explain.
"That's right." Jige nodded, and now they all say that people's hearts are not ancient, which means to praise the traditional virtues of honesty and trustworthiness of the ancients, and to speak righteously.
"You, and a few of you, come and move all these things for me." There was a woman in red standing at the square table, who was sticking her waist at this time, and she was full of voice to several dumbfounded officers and soldiers.
"Yes, miss." Several officers and soldiers seemed to have words of suffering, blowing their heads down.
In the middle of the crowd, a woman's voice came, talking quickly. Then Jig saw that the people had moved out of the way, and some officers and soldiers began to carry things out, covered with red cloth, and sprinkled with yellow paper.
Jige looked at the two little officers and soldiers walking by with the red cloth table in front of him, and was suddenly shocked. How do you look at it more and more familiar, the red cloth was bought by him for a small two taels of silver when the Wang's tavern opened the day before yesterday, and the table was sponsored by Zhai Lao nearby, no, isn't this my thing Jige hurriedly walked a few steps, and just about to speak, he heard a snort from beside him, Jige looked back, and the old man had bent his back and bent down, moaning in pain.
Jige could only quickly help the old man up and chose a stone pier, at this time the old man was pale, and the pain must be unbearable.
"That, young man, I have something to do temporarily, I have a bad stomach, I'll go first." When the old man heard the voice, he had already sobered up, as if he remembered something, and took the opportunity to look up and look inside, his face was a little hesitant, and he hesitated again and again. ”
The old man turned his head as he walked, looked at the woman who was still chattering in the field, and then signaled from afar that he was okay and didn't need to send him off, turned around and muttered, "Boy, ask for more blessings."
Gig nodded half-understandingly, sighed, and ran towards his stall.
In the field, the woman in red stood with her hands in her hands, leaning on the edge of the poplar tree in the corner, and ordered a few small officers and soldiers to move away the things of these vendors along the way.
A vacuum was formed around, and several lines of officers and soldiers were busy carrying large and small objects, Shan Yishen was in the crowd, secretly looking at this woman, strange to say, this woman was not someone else, it was a willful woman who had met twice a few days ago, Qing Liu'er.
Shan Yi squinted his eyes and thought about it, this woman pretended to be a chivalrous woman before, and then she messed around, and this time she also called the government to make trouble together, this is probably not simple, the other party is menacing, and has moved a lot of businessmen's things, and she is full of confidence. So he decided to figure out the situation first and then make plans.
"Brother, what do you say is going on?" Jige pushed a familiar crowd of onlookers next to him.
"You don't know yet, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion recently issued an obituary, this alley between the clouds, I'm afraid it will be relocated." The old brother glanced at the woman in red, and suddenly looked a little nervous, and whispered.
"But isn't it, recently, the city lord has invited a lot of craftsmen, saying that he wants to build a small courtyard of leisure in Yunjian Lane, no, he will start to set a fixed point today." Another whispered.
"Oh, isn't this woman the main person in charge," Jige said softly, frowning: "However, won't there be some compensation for the demolition like this?"
"Do you see the things carried by these officers and soldiers" The old brother sighed, his expression sluggish.
"See, what do you say" Gig wondered as he glanced at a pile of things not far away.
"This Miss Fang, I want to gather things together, and then let people claim them, and then send officers and soldiers to send them home." The elder brother was speechless, instigated a puff of dry tobacco, and continued: "In this way, the things will be sent away, and this place belongs to the government, so she will not have to be criticized and give compensation." ”
"How can that work, we've been setting up stalls here for more than ten years, and we have feelings for this place." Gig immediately hung his arms high and said dissatisfied.
How can it work, we just put this stall aside, and a lot of time and money have been spent, but now it's good, you want us to move this time, and don't give compensation, who is not stupid to move
imagined that the scene at this time should have been echoed by everyone and the voices of the people were boiling.
Giger suddenly remembered a poem written by a predecessor who was a creative genius: imaginary, very different.
Passion-filled incitement has no effect, and those who attempt to stir up the masses in vain will be tested by the sudden silence of the air.
Looking at the countless pairs of shocked, worried and unknowingly looked at him, and when he wanted to experience it himself, Shan Yi had already burst into tears in his heart, almost collapsed, and at this moment he didn't have to look up at the triumphant woman on the side of the poplar tree, just from the fist that rashly stretched out his right hand for a while, he could feel two waves of fire-breathing heat.
Gig comforted himself that this moment could be treated as if it had not happened, because everyone and things on the side, including time, were still.
So Jige slowly and little by little withdrew his stiff fist, raised his head, faced the rising sun and wind, squinted his eyes, stretched out his two index fingers and slowly put them on top, and showed a smiling grievance to the woman in red.
The woman in red was interested, apparently discovering and recognizing him as well.
She held a bright gem sword in her hand, her face was a domineering cold face, and the corners of her mouth were a faint smile, and she came in a red silk mesh dress, elegant and fluttering, and when she walked, she waved the sword in her hand endlessly, shining with Jige's eyes.
Jige was embarrassed and angry for a while, unable to speak, covering his eyes with both hands, dodging left and right, embarrassed.
Mai Lian, a woman in red, walked over, with a smile on her face, her eyes turned into a crescent moon, with a fragrant cool breeze, and she smiled at the old brother next to Jige and asked, "Excuse me, can I move your things?"
Her red lips opened lightly, her tone was soft, and her face bloomed with the blooming of March flowers, as if there was a kind of silent charm, which was very different from the arrogant and rude appearance of the commander just now, although the old brother was angry with her, but at this moment he felt that she was just a fairy in the world, because of a moment of naughty and mistaken, nodded again and again, he suddenly felt that she should be forgiven.
"What about you, can I move your things?" the woman in red approached again, smiled, and asked the other person who had just spoken to Jiger.
The young man was still young, and when he saw the woman approaching him like this, he exhaled like an orchid, and his fragrance was bursting, and his face suddenly turned red, and he stared at her eyes full of magic power, his body twitched, and he could no longer speak.
"In this way, don't you all have no opinion" The woman in red seemed to be very satisfied, spread out her white and slender hands, and then waved her long skirt that was mopping the floor behind her with her little hand, and turned around and walked to a chaise longue by the poplar tree.
She hadn't spoken to Gig the whole time, and barely communicated with him except for the contempt in her eyes when she walked in, but Gig knew.
The whole paragraph collapsed.
This is what kind of brutal woman incarnates the human fairy Jige staring at her tightly, the master moves, there is no room for mistakes, this woman can grab the handle and fight back in a moment, it is really not to be underestimated.
The woman in red was very powerful, she turned around and gently pulled the hem of her skirt, sat nobly on the chaise longue, crossed her legs, and left only a touch of white beautiful legs.
When everyone was sober and muttered, he clapped his hands at everyone, and then said, "Don't worry, everyone who moves out of here tonight will receive ten taels of silver." ”
She turned her head to look at a housekeeper and said, "Lao Zhu, the matter of subsidizing the silver will be left to you to follow up." ”
As soon as he looked at Lao Zhu, Ji Ge was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and the woman in red was too strong at the moment, so it was not suitable to fight hard.
"Yes, miss." Butler Nodo.
"What's more, this relocation will not affect your daily stalls, the Peacock Street at the south gate will be open from tomorrow, and it is not too far from here." After the woman in red finished speaking, she closed her eyes, stretched out her green jade fingers and gently rubbed her willow eyebrows, with tiredness on her face.
As soon as her words fell, the crowd was in an uproar.
"Could it be that it is only for the nobles, and it is also Peacock Street, which has the beautiful scenery of the fountain," said the man with a hungry face excitedly.
"That's right, little brother, but why do you want to ask if the fountain is there?" puzzled the old brother with a gray hemp rope wrapped around his head.
"I said big brother, you are not married yet" The man with a hungry face looked shy, his face was already full of joy, and he gently covered his mouth and said: "I can take my daughter-in-law and children to go there to have a look, in the early years, it was only open to nobles, and my daughter-in-law has long complained. ”
"Let's go, hurry up and sign it, and go home early after signing" When everyone heard the big good news, they couldn't close their mouths with laughter, not to mention the previous bitterness.
Unexpectedly, this little girl has some skills, it seems that she has misunderstood her, Jige hesitated, smiled apologetically at her from afar, and also got up and followed everyone to sign and receive the money, who is not happy to receive the money.
"Stop, you, you can't go." There were cold words behind her, and you could almost see her demonic face hidden behind her smile.
Gig froze in place, turned to her and smiled:
"It turned out to be Miss Fang, don't come unharmed."
