Chapter 58: Sweet Lotus Root

"Don't name people and animals in the future."

Seeing that the other party was staring at him coldly, Cui Ran pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Why?" ”

"I don't want anyone or anything to have the same name as me." The boy complained angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take a different name next time."

Cui Jiuan looked at the girl suspiciously, only to see her eyes wandering, her cheeks were like snow, her smile was like a flower, and the scars on her face had already been baptized by the spring rain of Fangcai.

After finding a hotel to stay, listening to books and drinking tea, shopping and visiting the garden, Cui Ranxin is reluctant to leave this Jiangnan town day after day.

Finally under the coercion and temptation of Cui Jiu'an, he set off and left, to the north, rushed to Jiangning City, the car was light and fast, and the two days away saw the solemn city tower, sure enough, it was a prosperous and lively hub city, there was a long queue outside the city gate, BMW incense cars, and talented people were in an endless stream of business travelers.

Cui Ranxin lifted the curtain and chatted with Cui Jiuan: "Jiangning City is really grand and lively. ”

"Hmm."

"It's three points better than the capital."

"Hmm."

"Sure enough, it's a romantic land."

"Hmm."

"Look, the elders are all personable and extraordinary."

"Humph!"

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Cui Ran observed his surroundings, and a peasant woman queuing up with a burden next to the carriage looked kind.

Laughing and talking: "Auntie, what are you picking in this burden?" ”

The peasant woman looked very good at Cui Ranxin in the car window, and she was happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "I have a good thing here?" ”

"What's good?" Cui Ranxin had already poked half of his head out.

"Sweet lotus root, cooked with glutinous rice, osmanthus and brown sugar."

Cui Ranxin held back her greed and continued to chat: "Auntie, is this going into the city to sell sweet lotus?" ”

"Yes, in the past two days, Jiangning has been more festive and lively than the New Year, and it is the best time for these foods to sell."

"What's the matter, so lively?"

The peasant woman smiled and peeked at Cui Jiu'an, who was driving the car, and said with a smile: "The girl might as well ask your brother, he must be clear." ”

Cui Ranxin instantly frowned and said with a sad face: "Hey! My brother is good at everything, but his life is hard, and he can't hear it here when he was born. ”

The peasant woman looked at Cui Ranxin and pointed to her ears, immediately put away her laughter, and said sympathetically: "Auntie can't speak, don't blame me, pity such a good appearance!" ”

"Auntie, you might as well tell me about it, so that I can take my poor brother to join in the excitement and gain knowledge."

"On the second day of the fifth month, that is, tomorrow, Li Gongtang's worship day, on the third day of the fifth month, the beauty pavilion chooses the oiran, these literati boast of being merry and talented, these two things are naturally not delayed, there are many talents, and the ladies of each family will come together, so these two days are the most lively."

While speaking, it was their turn to enter the city, Cui Ranxin waved goodbye to the peasant woman, and the peasant woman hurriedly wrapped a few seven-hole sweet lotus roots from the burden and stuffed them into Cui Jiu'an's arms.

He muttered, "Poor good boy, take it and taste it with your sister." ”

Just as the peasant woman was carrying her burden away, a silver ingot fell silently into the basket containing the lotus root.

Cui Ranxin looked at Cui Jiu'an, who was staring at him, and said with a smile: "Hehe-good brother, give me a taste." ”

Cui Jiuan pointed to his ears and shook his head, pretending not to hear, opened the lotus leaf, and took a bite of the soft and glutinous sweet lotus, although the aroma was strong, it was too sweet and greasy, and he didn't eat it again.

"I was wrong, give it to me!"

"What's wrong?"

"You shouldn't be talking nonsense that your ears are bad."

"Call a hundred good brothers, and I'll give it to you." Cui Jiuan sneered.

Unexpectedly, the people in the carriage were really monks chanting scriptures and repeatedly calling "good brother"

"Good brother, good brother, good brother, good brother, good brotherβ€”"

"Stop! Take it! ”

I really can't stand the other party's buzzing in my ears like a May fly.

Cui Ranxin took the sweet lotus root and smiled triumphantly.

opened and took a big bite, and did not dislike being eaten by the other party, Cui Ran shook his head happily, his eyes did not stop, looking east and west, the traffic was full of people, and it was very lively.

However, it was too lively and troublesome, the two of them entered several inns in a row, and they were full, and finally came across a large inn with carved beams and painted buildings, high doors and wide doors, and an upper room was empty, Cui Jiuan and Cui Ranxin said in unison: "I want it." ”

A delicate voice sounded behind him: "You two men and women are different, it is really inappropriate to live in the same room, it is better to do good deeds and give it to me!" ”

Cui Ranxin and Cui Jiu'an's eyes were like arrows, and they shot at the person who was talking behind them, only to see that the young lady was wearing gold and jade, round and rich, with a fleshy mouth pouting, and she looked festive.

Cui Jiuan hugged Cui Ranxin and whispered in her ear: "Let's go, we're going to sleep on the street at night, hurry up and find a way to repel her." ”

As soon as Cui Ranxin heard that he was going to sleep on the street, he couldn't care about anything, and said loudly: "Who said that men and women are different, it's not good to live in the same room, why can't we live together as a newlywed Yan'er?" ”

The young lady who was round and jade, when Cui Jiu'an turned around, had already been confused by him, and she just smirked and didn't speak, but the maid behind her said: "You are lying, obviously you have been asking for two rooms just now, we are following you, and we can hear it clearly." ”

"This girl, you must have heard it wrong, when did we say we wanted two rooms, you ask the shopkeeper, did we say we want two rooms?"

Although the shopkeeper didn't want to offend anyone, who made the young couple in front of him really beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and said truthfully: "The two of them want it first." ”

"We're paying five times the price." The little maid spoke domineering and coquettish, Cui Ranxin felt that the fat lady was like a silly maid, but this maid was more like a miss.

"It's great to have money, and the shopkeeper is not a person who sees money, right?" Cui Ranxin said loudly, looking back at the shopkeeper, who saw that the front of the hall was already full of people, so he could only smile and nod in agreement.

"Twenty times!" As soon as the maid said this, everyone was silent.

Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh in the crowd, and he said while laughing: "Liu Lingzhi, your father and mother didn't let you out, you actually secretly pretended to be a maid and ran out, so Honglang is so fascinated that you are fascinated?" ”

"Li Shen, shut up for me, wait and see!" The maid dropped a sentence and pulled the fat lady away with a cigarette, leaving the shopkeeper with a lost face, and sighed secretly, and ran away like this with a hundred taels of white silver.

"Five taels of silver a night." Although he was lost, the shopkeeper of the human spirit still squeezed out a smile and asked the two of them for silver.

Cui Jiuan put down a piece of silver and went upstairs by himself, and the shopkeeper saw that fifty taels, although it was less than one hundred taels, but it was also a high roller, the smile on his face was even brighter, and he was busy asking Xiao Er to go up and serve.

Cui Ranxin smiled at the young man who had just spoken out before going upstairs and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Shen was fascinated by the girl's voice and smile, and only came back to his senses after a while, but the other party had only left his back, and said loudly to Cui Ranxin's slender back stupidly: "Little lady doesn't need to say thank you!" ”
