Chapter 107: Interesting Stories on the Road
In February, Guangdong is already in full bloom, even if there is no spring at the moment, but the warm weather in the south has made everything recover in advance, and bloomed branches, and some even flower bones have emerged.
Li Qingzhu rode a horse for a day, and he had not left Guangdong, although the horse was a good horse, but even if he ran day and night, it was impossible to leave Guangdong in one day, not to mention that this horse still needed to rest.
There will be a post station for Li Qingzhu to rest along the way, he saw a flagpole not far away, a white background flag fluttering high on the flagpole, a post word was written in black characters, Li Qingzhu slowed down the horse, and when there were still dozens of meters away from the post station, he got off the horse and slowly led the horse in.
"Yo! Guest, please inside! ”
Xiao Er's eyes were sharp, this was tempered over many years, and he ran to Li Qingzhu diligently and took the reins for him.
"Feed my horses some food and water, I'll have to go later."
Li Qingzhu is full of Confucianism, and ordinary people can hardly see that he has martial arts, although Xiao Er is also a person who sees the six roads, but he also does not see that Li Qingzhu is not an ordinary scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken.
"Is the guest officer going to Beijing to catch the exam?" Xiao Er thought that what he said was not far from ten, and his face was full of pride.
"Oh? Weishenme said so? ”
Li Qingzhu watched noncommittally as Xiao Er handed over his horse to a horse boy who was recruited by Xiao Er, this is the person recruited by the post station to take care of the horses, if anyone can take care of the horse, the signboard of the post station will be smashed, and taking care of the horse is also a science.
Xiao Er led Li Qingzhu into the place where the guests were entertained, and said with a smile: "I look at it, you are like a learned person, the imperial court opened Enke in March, and the people who went out during this time period went to Beijing to take the exam." ”
Xiao Er stretched out his palm, and five shiny fingers were opened, indicating that it was the number of five or five.
The two came to the table of the Eight Immortals, Xiao Er wiped the table and chairs for Li Qingzhu with the white cloth on his shoulder, and then asked with a smile, "What do the guests want to have?" If you are in a hurry to leave, it is recommended that you can cook beef and a pot of wine, and if the guest officer can't drink wine, a pot of clear spring water is also available in the shop. ”
Li Qingzhu saw the skillful appearance of this little er, so he looked up and down, this little two still had a courteous smile, and his waist was slightly arched, showing his respect for the guests.
It seems that everyone can find a way to survive in life.
This little two, he should mix well here, right?
"Then do as you say, is there a bamboo leaf? If I have one, I want a pot, and if I don't, I will have clear spring water. ”
Li Qingzhu didn't think much about it, in fact, most of the people in the rivers and lakes or Xin Xin students would not think about eating, and Xiao Er introduced it like this, and the guests saved the time of what they wanted to eat, and the time for entertaining guests was reduced a lot, and at the same time, it also increased the goodwill of the post station.
That's why Li Qingzhu said that this little two's business ability is very good.
"Zhu Yeqing? Hehe, guest, this kind of wine has not been sold in our small shop for a long time, and it has been left for a long time, so you have to wait for a while, I remember that there should still be it, and I will help you find it. ”
Xiao Er was surprised at first, and then said to Li Qingzhu with a smile, he made it clear first, if he was impatient, then he would directly draw spring water.
If you are a scholar, it is generally spring water, and if you want to drink a little, it is just rice wine.
This bamboo leaf green, said to be strong or not, said to be mellow or not, its special, only in the slightest elegance, few people will drink this wine.
"It's okay, you can go and find it."
Li Qingzhu waved his hand unwillingly and said.
Since Li Qingzhu came to this shijie and had a wealthy family environment, he has been obsessed with this kind of wine that is exactly the same as his nickname, and the mellow and sweet taste has given him a different feeling.
Xiao Er first served Li Qingzhu a cooked beef and water, this intimate act made Li Qingzhu feel good about him, and invisibly increased the time to wait for Xiao Er to find it.
Li Qingzhu slowly ate beef and drank water, and before he knew it, a meal had been eaten, but Xiao Er had not yet come.
However, the second child of this post station won Li Qingzhu's favor, and Li Qingzhu also waited willingly.
After a while, the little two came over with a sweaty head and a leather bag, and said a little embarrassed: "Guest officer, I'm really embarrassed, this bamboo leaf green, we don't have many small shops, come together, and make up such a share." ”
Li Qingzhu saw that he was so tired that his clothes were wet, not only smiled: "It's okay, it's just such a portion, it's enough, how much is it, I'll pay it together." ”
"Your food, your horses, and this pot of wine are only three pennies of silver."
Li Qingzhu smiled when he heard this, the cost of these services is at most a penny of silver, but this little two is quite good at being a person, Li Qingzhu is not annoyed, he took out a broken silver from his arms, put it on the table and said: "This is five dollars, don't look for it, the rest, just give you a reward, you little two are very interesting." ”
"Hey, thank you, thank you!"
Xiao Er immediately bowed to Li Qingzhu with joy, these days, there are really very few people who don't spare money to Li Qingzhu.
Li Qingzhu smiled without saying a word, took the leather bag from his hand and walked towards the outside of the post station.
His own horse was also taken over by Xiao Er from the horse house.
"Guest, your horse."
After Li Qingzhu took it, he turned over and got on the horse, Li Qingzhu hung the leather bag on the edge of the saddle, and said to Xiao Er with a smile: "Work hard, sooner or later, you will have a store of your own." ”
"Then dare to be kind, then accept your auspicious words, and the guest officer will go slowly."
Xiao Er smiled happily, which made people feel good.
"By the way, guest officer, this road is not smooth, there are a lot of robbers here, and many scholars have been robbed, you have to be careful."
Xiao Er's reminder made Li Qingzhu stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Robbery?" What do you do when you rob readers? ”
"Hey, you don't even know that? The scholar has no power to resist, and if he wants to go to Beijing to take the exam, he must have a lot of entanglements on his body, so he naturally becomes a fat sheep in the eyes of the bandits. ”
Li Qingzhu smiled when he heard this: "Thank you, it's just that this bandit who is going to rob me has not been born yet." ”
"Drive!"
Li Qingzhu shook the reins, twitched the horsewhip, the horse screamed in pain, and galloped all the way away on the official road.
The horse was full of food and drink, and rested for a while, and at the moment it was full of endurance, and it really felt like a gallop on the road.
It's just that Li Qingzhu had to stop soon, because in the middle of this official road, there was a scholar who was embarrassed as if he had been molested by several big men, and there were all kinds of despair on his face.
Although the official road is flat, it is not wide, this person is sitting in the middle, surrounded by Li Qingzhu can't get across, the books on his bookshelf are still scattered on the ground, the bookshelves are also damaged, and there are wreckage everywhere.
"Hey, scholar, can you give way or not, I still have something to hurry."
Li Qingzhu stopped the horse, sat on the horse's back and shouted loudly to the scholar.
"There are bandits ahead, brother Tai Mo is going forward, don't be like Xiaosheng, study hard for ten years, in the end, in the end, there will be a void !!"
The scholar was kind enough to remind Li Qingzhu, but when it came to the sad part, he couldn't help crying anymore.
This dignified man sat in the middle of the road and cried, even Li Qingzhu felt goosebumps, and he had no choice but to get off the horse and go to ask.
