Chapter 229: There Is No Cave (6)
The two troublesome men finally slipped away.
Before leaving the shop, the waiter apologized.
There are also waiters left in the former Chen Ji Tavern in the shop, some of them are actually not very suitable, but since they have promised the shopkeeper Chen, they naturally can't let the family roll up the shop and go back to their hometown.
No matter how inappropriate, others can't deliberately trouble them.
It's an underlying psychology.
Persimmons, to pick soft pinch.
For example, businessmen, compared to officials, farmers, and laborers, are the lowest class, so there will always be a few people who come to find fault with something to do.
Even at the bottom, there are chains of contempt within them.
For example, Jin Manlou, who dares to find fault if there is nothing to do?
Except for another cockroach incident, nothing else happened until the evening.
It was a sunny day.
Sunset.
Seeing that the second half is about to be ushered in.
"Boss, do you want to hang the lantern now?"
"Hang it up."
There is a lantern on each side of the front door of the shop, and the rest are hung in front of the open windows on the first and second floors.
After hanging the lantern, she went into the shop and stood on the side of the wooden wall.
Look into a corner.
With a slight "coming", I saw running water flowing on one side of the wall.
Water flows from one side to a tank next to the cobblestone path along the bamboo pipes.
"Drip ......"
"Drip ......"
The sky was hazy outside.
Cobblestone paths, verdant bamboo forests, babbling water.
The atmosphere is different.
There is an open space next to the cobblestone path, just a section high on the left, and the formwork hidden on the edge of the staircase is opened to create a separate stand.
The waiter took the guqin and went up.
After a while, a woman with a light veil came out.
The woman sat cross-legged in the stands.
With a slip of the plain fingers, the fresh and elegant music sounded slowly.
For a while, the shop was quite quiet.
It was so still only the sound of the piano, the dripping of water, the sound of breathing, and the sound of tiny footsteps on the cobblestones.
She stood against the wall.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught some shadows, and suddenly, when he turned his head, he was immediately stunned.
The man across from her smiled at her.
"Why don't you continue the name of the Little Cave Heaven?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a drink? Please come and have a drink, come in, and go to the second floor to sit. ”
It's quiet.
When she said these two words, she immediately attracted the attention of the others.
The next moment.
Everyone was quiet again, because the guest who came was none other than Yin Gu Kaizhi of Huai'an Mansion.
Of course, he didn't wear an official uniform, just an extremely ordinary outfit.
But the people on the road to Xuefu, where is there a reason not to know Gu Fuyin.
Immediately, everyone got up one after another and waved at Gu Kaizhi. 228 Literature Network
Gu Kaizhi waved his hand: "Don't be restrained, I'm hungry, I'm just looking for food, and the big guy will do his own." ”
Gu Kaizhi looked at the decoration layout on the first floor, followed her to the second floor, and reached out for a pot of wine when she passed by the plum blossom wall.
"Gu Gong, are you taking spirits, with the amount of alcohol you drink, or ......"
The words "take it easy" have not yet been spoken.
He asked, "Who is Li Bai?" ”
"One...... A poet who goes through complexities. ”
"Oh? How complex can it be? ”
"It's not complicated, I'm afraid I can't write so many poems, just take the writing on the wall outside about the wine, he was ...... at the time"
Li Bai's story was not finished so quickly, it was just a beginning, Gu Kaizhi was attracted by the recipes and food and wine, and during the period, she was asked to continue to tell Li Bai's story.
I really think of her as a storyteller.
"Gu Gong, try this, let me take a breath."
"Then you take a few sips of water, rest, and then continue."
"No, I won't talk about it, let's break it down next time."
"How does this work?"
"Then I'll talk about something else first, and then we'll move on?"
Gu Kaizhi squinted his eyes like an old fox: "What's the matter?" ”
"Li Bai's story, do you still want to continue to listen to it?"
"Something to do with this?"
"Since a knowledgeable person like Gu Gong is interested in him, presumably, other people also find it interesting, so how about Gu Gong think more people know his story? How did he get his poems and encourage more students to persevere, what do you think? ”
"Aren't you just making his poems known to more people?"
"What do you mean by the outside wall?"
"Anywhere else?"
"It's not enough, it's just a wall, even if it's the size of an ant, it's densely written, what can it do? It's just a glance at the entire Huai'an, the entire Datang, and there are many people, they don't know who Li Bai is! ”
"So?"
She came closer, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Gu Kaizhi: "Hehe, so, if I want Gu Gong's support, I plan to buy a printing hall." ”
"Printing Hall?"
"In addition to the government's purchase, there are many places in the country, and there are also privately purchased printing halls, but in Huai'an, there are only two private printing halls."
"You want to be the third? Just to tell his story? ”
"In addition to Li Bai, there are many people, the wooden plaque wall next to the door in front, Gu Gong has seen it, one person has published a booklet, it is not enough, it can't be written, it has to be a street as long as Xuefu Road."
He suddenly laughed: "Do you know how much it costs to print the hall?" Huai'an's two printing halls, one has more than 30 years, and the other has a hundred years, you ......"
"Gu Gong, do you want to lend me some gold and silver?"
"I'll borrow you, can you afford it?"
She glanced at her hand and raised it higher: "Gu Gong, I don't want to borrow money from you, I just want to get a permit, I will make more money, rest assured, no one will be less in taxes." ”
Gu Kaizhi glanced at her and took the cup.
"Take a bite, good wine, don't eat for nothing."
Gu Kaizhi glanced at her again and put the cup to his lips: "You won't put something in it, will you?" ”
She raised the flask and took a few sips directly: "You are a big man, what are you afraid of?" ”
Gu Kaizhi laughed again, took a sip of wine, and then said, "I think you have something in the gourd." ”
"Hahaha, what can it be? It's just that if you want to buy a printing hall, you must first have paper, and the price of paper is not cheap, so I plan to buy a paper mill first, which is not a thing? ”
"Paper mills? Do you know how to print, and you can also make paper? ”
"No, I can't be afraid, I can go and learn."
"Learn?"
"Your tone is too damaging to my enthusiasm, I do this, but it's all for, it's too untrue, part of the reason is for our Huai'an students, paper is cheap, books are cheap, poor disciples are closer to the academy, and it is more realistic to serve the motherland!"
Gu Kaizhi lost a smile on his face, and he put down the cup: "You have a point. ”
