Chapter Fifty-Six: Booking a Private Room? (Thank you to all the book friends for adding more)
That night, the reply from the Sword Pavilion was sent to Yunjiazhuang by the fast horse.
There is no suspense in the answer.
If Mu Dianke was just a nobody, Li Mubai could have laughed it off and ignored it when he received the war letter.
But Mu Dian is the fourth famous sword, if Li Mubai refuses to fight, it will inevitably make people feel that he is not worthy of the second place of the famous sword, and he is afraid to avoid fighting.
What's more, the news of the destruction of the three surnames has spread widely. Li Mubai, as Liu Sutian's lifelong enemy, has been competing for decades in the ranking of famous swords, even if out of curiosity, Li Mubai will personally come to see what kind of person this famous sword who killed Liu Sutian is.
In order not to arouse Li Mubai's disgust, the Ming Palace did not deliberately spread the news.
The news came out of the Sword Pavilion, and Li Mubai arrived in Gusu three days first, and within half an hour, he heard about it on the streets.
In the rivers and lakes, in order to compete for ranking or settle grievances, it is common to meet for a duel. But a competition of this caliber is rare in decades.
Not to mention that Li Mubai, the master of the Sword Pavilion, is low-key and does not appear all year round. The slightly inferior Ming Palace Holy Maiden Markaqin is known as the most mysterious figure in the Tianji Pavilion list for a hundred years. has been living in the Mobei Ming Palace, and no one in Middle-earth has ever witnessed its true face.
Characters like this are usually difficult to see one, but this time there are two at once, so that many martial arts people are not excited.
There are still three days before the official martial arts competition, and the martial arts people who got the news have rushed to Gusu to stay, and it is difficult to find a room in the major inns, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.
The place where Mu Dianke and Li Mubai met for a martial arts competition was the sword drinking platform located on the shore of Biluo Lake in the west of Gusu City.
The whole competition platform is built with bluestone, about one zhang high, and twenty zhang square in length and width. The platform is wide and solid, facing water on one side, the terrain is empty on three sides, and the field of vision is broad, which is an excellent place for martial arts duels.
The west side of the drinking sword platform is close to Biluo Lake, and the east side of Biluo Lake is far away from the east, is a row of four-storey restaurants, and the restaurant is named Bo Township Building. The building is simple, the furnishings are elegant, the style is very very, and it is a famous sky-high restaurant in Gusu City.
Usually, there are not many guests in the township building, and the rich businessmen and magnates spend a lot of money, and the picture is also elegant and clean.
As soon as the news of the fourth appointment of the famous sword and the second famous sword reached Gusu, all the martial arts people, businessmen with vision, and even Yashi literati all ran to Boxianglou to reserve seats. The building was very lively, there was a long queue outside the building, and a most ordinary window seat was actually fried to four hundred taels of silver.
That's it, it's still hard to find.
Han Yinuo and Li Xiaoxiao stood in front of the door of Boxiang Building, looking at the price code that kept flipping up, their faces were very exciting.
Nanshan sent Annong to defend the army, relying on collecting some rent, cultivating vegetables in the mountains, and raising chickens, ducks and sheep in captivity. Compared with other rivers and lakes that make money, they can be regarded as poor. Li Shufang has always advocated frugality, and Han Yinuo has seen a lot of money in the world, but he has never seen much silver.
is the so-called poverty limits imagination, Han Yinuo can't understand it, so he will give you a broken chair, sit on your butt for an hour, and sit on a cup of tea without knowing it, and you will be charged 400 taels of silver?
couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "This is the real profiteer, profiteer." Chang Qianfo received such an expensive consultation fee, but he was a doctor. It has a broken seat, and it dares to sell 400 quantities? ”
Li smiled and said: "There is a market to have a price, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer." What's so bad about this? ”
Han Yinuo echoed doggedly: "Xiaoxiao, you are worthy of being a person from Changjiabao, and your opinion is atmospheric." You said that Old Man Chang wanted to take you in as a daughter-in-law, did he fancy your potential to be a profiteer? ”
Li Xiaoxiao's face turned green at the moment.
The genius knows what Chang Jihai likes about her.
There are one hundred and thirty-six medicine halls in Changjiabao, and there are so many masters and vice-presidents that they can't count the number of daughters. There are twenty or thirty people of the same age as Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao is not the smartest, nor the most capable, nor is he the most considerate and sensible who will please the old man. If you have to say which one of her best, it is probably her most famous.
Thanks to her father Li Ting, who is serious enough to scare the living to death, and not serious to scare the dead. The three brothers and sisters of the Li family, except for Li Kangkang's personality and mother, are a little more normal, Li Anan and Li Xiaoxiao are simply the negative examples of many masters in Changjiabao to teach their children.
Li Xiaoxiao followed Chang Qianfo and Li An'an into the water to catch fish at the age of three; The four-year-old burned the kitchen with roasted sweet potatoes in the stove pit; When she was five years old, she was able to climb up the big ancient tree of five or six zhang in Chang Jihai's yard without breathing, and by the way, she took out a few bird eggs and came down to beat her teeth.
The homework is not good, the martial arts are average, and the only medical skill that can be mastered is also after she became an adult and sensible, and it took a lot of effort to become proficient.
When Chang Jiahai revealed the meaning of marriage to Li Ting, his father, who has always respected Chang Jihai and has a family, was stunned and said: "Old lady, are you sleepy?" ”
It's not that Li Ting looks down on his daughter, it's really a bit ...... Shame on the owner!
Chang Qi, the good buddy who has the most iron relationship with Li Xiaoxiao, heard about it, held his chin and thought hard for a long time, and held it out with difficulty: "As the so-called wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a blind?" ”
Chang Jihai is confused or blind, Li Xiaoxiao doesn't know, but her head is very sober.
Changjiabao is big, and no matter how big it is, it's a cage.
With such a big belongings pressed on her body, she didn't have the time to drink water and catch her breath, she didn't have the ability to take this errand.
This is not the worst thing, to be the granddaughter-in-law of the old lady, that is to marry Chang Qianfo. Chang Qianfo is a person who is a little closer than her eldest brother Li An'an, let her marry her brother, isn't this forcing her to **?
Li Xiaoxiao was about to cry.
Li Ting was in a dilemma. In the end, Chang Qianfo came out to relieve the siege: "Xiaoxiao is in the heart of my grandson, just like Suyi, I am a sister." Grandpa or think again? “
This matter dragged on, and it dragged into Li Xiaoxiao's unpleasant heartache.
After mentioning this stubble, Li Xiaoxiao can still have a good face: "Believe it or not, I knocked out your full mouthful of teeth?" ”
Han Yinuo knows the current affairs as Junjie: "Okay, I won't mention it." In fact, what do you have to worry about, your diaphragm should respond, Chang Qianfo is not the same diaphragm in his heart? What's more, people now have a sweetheart. ”
As soon as she said this, Li Xiaoxiao's mood became heavier, and she sighed: "How do you say I should persuade my eldest brother?" He now goes to Chongde Hall every day to sit for a consultation, and he goes there all day, so busy that he can't see anyone from morning to night. According to my father, he rarely even said anything except for consultation. I'm really afraid that if he continues like this, he will be sick of something. ”
Han Yinuo was surprised: "How long has it been, and he hasn't given up yet?" ”
Li Xiaoxiao sighed: "He is not dead, Grandpa Chang will never allow him to marry the daughter of a dead man of the Ming Palace." That's probably the saddest thing about him. ”
As he spoke, the seats in Boxianglou had been fried to six hundred taels.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at the word "Lu" that had just come out of the book on the price list, and her mouth opened and closed: "You're right!" It's really ...... Grab the money! ”
I only heard someone shouting and laughing in front of me.
The two followed the prestige, and saw Yan Yisheng, the housekeeper of Chongde Hall, walking out accompanied by a person who looked like a steward, looked at Li Xiao and smiled: "I guess you will come to join in the fun." Let's go, Childe has booked a private room on the third floor above. ”
Han Yinuo and Li Xiaoxiao were both stunned, and said in unison: "Elegant room? "Boy, how much silver does that cost!
Yan Yisheng smiled, turned back to the person in charge and said, "The Tao shopkeeper, I will leave first." ”
"Yan housekeeper walks slowly, and after three days, the small shop will be opened, waiting for Chang Gongzi."
"The Tao shopkeeper is polite!"
Li Xiaoxiao was not puzzled: "Hasn't the eldest brother been asking for a consultation in the front hall these days, why did he remember to come to see the competition?" ”
Yan Yisheng said with a smile: "The second famous sword and the fourth famous sword competition, this kind of rare event, which person who practices martial arts doesn't want to see it?" ”
Li Xiaoxiao thought about it, and asked again: "Big brother thought of asking Uncle Yan to book a place, he should be in a much better mood today, right?" ”
Chang Qianfo has always been kind, even when he saw the villain who sprinkled the sweep, he greeted politely. He has a straight face everywhere he walks for a while, and he doesn't like to talk, as long as anyone with eyes knows that he is in a bad mood, Li Xiaoxiao has nothing to hide for him.
Yan Yisheng thought for a while and sighed: "I look, it seems to be worse." ”
