Chapter 1: The peerless elegance of a willow swallow

Zhang Xiaolei really didn't want to give up his silver.

So he made an appointment with the night butcher, and when the night butcher finished the affairs of Qianma Village, they went to Li Fengwu to settle the account together.

In the past few days, Zhang Xiaolei has temporarily lived in Zhoucheng, which is not far away.

This week, in fact, is just a small town.

The population of Zhoucheng is only 2,000 households, but there are many shipbuilders here, and many people come here to buy boats or transport goods by water, which adds a lot of vitality to the town.

Although there are only 2,000 local households, there are nearly 10,000 outsiders, who come and go every day, which also makes Zhoucheng gradually prosperous.

Zhang Xiaolei came to Zhoucheng and looked for the tea soup house here.

He had made an appointment with the Night Butcher, and when the Night Butcher was done, he would come to the teahouse to find him.

Of course, there is a tea soup house in the city this week.

Not long after he entered Zhoucheng, he saw a flag painted with a teapot.

Zhang Xiaolei entered the tea soup house and said to the shopkeeper: "Tea soup house, sit down and eat tea, bother to have something to fill your stomach." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Sit down quickly, do you want to eat noodles?" ”

"Is there such a blessing? Of course you eat. ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "There was no meeting at first, but some big people have come these days, and they have booked a banquet with us, and it happens to be open today." ”

Zhang Xiaolei was surprised: "I'm really convinced, someone invited me to eat as soon as I entered the city." In other words, how much money did they invite? ”

A guest who ate tea smiled and said: "Very generous, five hundred yuan per person!" ”

"Five hundred cents?"

Zhang Xiaolei couldn't believe it: "Isn't that a big fish and big meat?" I've never seen anyone so generous. ”

The shopkeeper sighed: "We have never seen it, there are many people waiting outside, they can come in to eat tea and occupy a place, but they are reluctant to pay, or they can't pay for it." ”

"Then I took a place this morning, and my luck was not bad...... Zhang Xiaolei smiled, "It just so happens that I want to stay in the hotel, so I will stay here today, and I need to eat some oil and water at noon." ”

"Then I wish the guest officer a good meal."

Zhang Xiaolei leaned on the table and sighed secretly in his heart.

A banquet with a head of 500 Wen.

What is this man?

There is too much money, do you come out to give everyone food and drink?

But no matter what, there are free big fish and big meat to eat, Zhang Xiaolei is very happy.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to bring a bowl of noodles, and after he ate it, he asked the shopkeeper to bring pen and ink, and practice writing while drinking tea.

When the people nearby saw it, they all came up to see the excitement.

Every time Zhang Xiaolei wrote a word, some people clapped and applauded.

Zhang Xiaolei was a little upset by the noise, he turned around and asked people, "What are you cheering for?" ”

"I don't know, I can't read, and when I see people cheering, I go along with it."

"I also watched others cheer and shouted twice."

"I can't read, and when I saw that I could write, I felt amazing in my heart, so I was the first to cheer, who knew that they would shout after me."

Zhang Xiaolei said helplessly: "Don't make noise, let me practice calligraphy quietly." ”

These people were speechless for a while, and let Zhang Xiaolei practice calligraphy.

When it was noon, people entered the tea soup house one after another, and asked for a place with the shopkeeper.

They saw Zhang Xiaolei practicing calligraphy, and they didn't sit next to Zhang Xiaolei.

Those who have read books should sit with those who have read books.

It's not the rule of the teahouse, it's just that people think so.

When the table was about to open, Zhang Xiaolei was also surrounded by a table full of literate people.

Zhang Xiaolei reluctantly put away his pen and ink, and a person beside him sighed: "The seriousness of my brother's practice of calligraphy is really admirable." ”

Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile: "It is precisely because I have less ink in my stomach that I practice hard." ”

"I don't know what to call a brother?"

"Zhang Xiaolei."

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be Zhang Xiaolei who broke Zhao Youwei's case in Yuncheng."

"Brother knows my name?"

"Mr. Zhang doesn't know, your name is already known around."

Zhang Xiaolei nodded thoughtfully, and at this time, one person was curious: "It's rare to get together today, can you tell us how you solved the case?" ”

"Still can't."

Zhang Xiaolei smiled: "What is there to brag about in the past? ”

"Brother is humble."

"It's not modest, it's not worth mentioning. Everyone eats and drinks and doesn't mention that. ”

When people saw that Zhang Xiaolei was really not interested in boasting, they stopped mentioning it.

The shopkeeper brought a plate of dishes to the table, making people's appetite move.

Zhang Xiaolei sandwiched a piece of chicken and said curiously: "The dishes are all served, why hasn't anyone asked the owner yet?" ”

"Sir doesn't know, we in Zhoucheng respect scholars...... "One of the people next to him smiled, "they are all waiting for us to ask." ”

Zhang Xiaolei suddenly realized, and asked again: "Then why don't you ask?" ”

"Mr. Zhang is sitting here today, how dare we speak? Please also ask Mr. Zhang to inquire. ”

Zhang Xiaolei hurriedly said that it was too high-lifting, and then he stood up and said politely: "Which friend invited you to drink today?" ”

Suddenly, a woman stood up in the crowd.

The woman was somewhat similar to Shao Xiaoling, she was dressed in a power suit and wore a treasure knife at her waist.

is different from Shao Xiaoling, Shao Xiaoling is heroic, but there is a gentle charm between this woman's eyebrows.

She said softly: "Childe, today is the slave family inviting all friends to eat and drink." ”

It's beautiful.

Zhang Xiaolei looked at it a little intently.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman, although she was a martial arts practitioner, but her three thousand green silks were scattered, and they complemented each other with her white skin.

Slender willow eyebrows, a pair of eyes looking forward to charming, a straight nose, pink lips, just like a woman in a painting.

Zhang Xiaolei can't tell where this woman is beautiful, in terms of facial features, Shao Xiaoling is obviously not under her. But when he faced Shao Xiaoling, he was full of disgust for her noise, but in the face of this woman, he was a little speechless.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaolei was stunned, the woman lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Childe, why don't you ask the next sentence?" Is this the rule of Zhoucheng Tea Soup House? ”

Zhang Xiaolei reacted at this time, he hurriedly knocked the bowl with chopsticks and asked, "Where did the girl come from?" ”

"The slave family came from the south of the Yangtze River, five miles north of Tianfu, under three locust trees."

Zhang Xiaolei knocked down the bowl again: "How old is the girl?" ”

The woman blushed slightly, she turned around, and said coquettishly: "I saw that Gongzi has been practicing calligraphy before, and he was a scholar, how can he be in front of all his friends, and he doesn't ask about the rules, but he is like a family." ”

When I turned around, my hair fluttered.

Zhang Xiaolei is a little obsessed again.

He murmured, "It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and it is like a snow that flows like a flowing wind." ”

A person next to him hurriedly poked Zhang Xiaolei: "Sir, ask about business." ”

Zhang Xiaolei came to his senses and knocked on the bowl: "What happened to the girl?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaolei finally asked about the matter, the woman said softly: "The slave family is called a Liu Yan, and I heard that the enemy Li Fengwu is in the area below the Yangtze River, and he occupies the mountain as the king and oppresses the people. The slave family specially came here to hold a banquet, and wanted to ask all friends to help, do the way for the sky, and protect the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”
