Meng Yuxuan didn't refute, and the woman spoke more vigorously. She couldn't bear it anymore, looked at the woman with a smile and said, "Auntie, it's better for you to talk less." ”

The woman thought that Meng Yuxuan was stimulated by her, and said provocatively: "What do I say about me, what does it matter to you?" I'm going to say it. ”

"Auntie can say it if she wants to, I don't have to stop you from talking. Merely...... I just saw a flying insect get into your mouth. It seemed to be poisonous. Doesn't my aunt feel that her throat is hot? Don't you feel that your voice is dry and you can't speak? That's the symptom of poisoning. Auntie has to be careful. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to speak in the future. ”

The woman covered her mouth and glared at her in horror. She didn't believe Meng Yuxuan's words, but she was afraid that what she said was true. She was anxious and angry, and her face was ugly.

Meng Yuxuan didn't seem to be able to see her anxiety. She's still the same laid-back look. Without the sound of the woman's squeaking, it was finally quiet.

got out of the ox cart, said goodbye to Wang Chengkui, looked at the woman and said, "What is this doing, auntie?" Why do you keep covering your mouth? Oh, do you really believe what I say? Heh, actually, I'm just kidding you. Where did the flying insects come from in your mouth? Even if there are flying insects, they won't be poisoned! My aunt is so cute, it's so easy to believe other people's words. ”

The old woman's face was blue and red, red and blue. She pointed at Meng Yuxuan tremblingly, with a vicious look.

Meng Yuxuan didn't wait for her to say anything, turned around and got out of the ox cart. From behind, there came the woman's angry screams and Wang Chengkui's ridicule watching the play, which made her mood improve all of a sudden.

Today is not a market day, and there are not many people on the streets. The street vendor saw a beautiful woman walking down the street, and his eyes swept towards her.

Meng Yuxuan passed by a garment shop and bought a hat from it. He put his hat on his head and covered his swaggering face, and then he stopped a little.

In front of him was Zhou Lao's teahouse, but Meng Yuxuan was blocked by the human wall. She had to stop and find someone to inquire about the situation.

Seeing a vegetable seller next to her, she asked, "Auntie, what's going on in front of you?" Why so many people? ”

The woman showed a mysterious expression and lowered her voice, "I don't know what's wrong. Since yesterday afternoon, these scholars have been going here like crazy. They've blocked the streets, and we can't go in and have a look. usually looks at the weak scholar, but I didn't expect that the body bones are quite tough. ”

"Thank you, auntie." Meng Yuxuan thanked the woman while thinking about how to enter the teahouse.

There should be other passages here! She remembered that there was another door behind the teahouse.

Meng Yuxuan walked around the back door of the teahouse from the shop next to her. Knock knock! She knocked on the back door.

Creak! Someone opened the door.

It was a middle-aged woman dressed plainly. About forty or fifty years old, with somewhat gray hair. She wore an apron and looked at Meng Yuxuan with kind eyes.

"You're Mrs. Meng, aren't you? I am Lao Zhou's daughter-in-law. You can just call my aunt. Aunt Fang said with a smile.

"Aunt Fang." Meng Yuxuan put down her hat and revealed her pretty little face. "The front was blocked, and I had to go through the back door. Sorry to bother. ”

"What did Madame say? The two of us are looking forward to your coming, so why bother? We're in a hurry if you don't come. Aunt Fang closed the door as she spoke. Madame is really handsome. This appearance is the first of its kind in our town. No wonder you have to wear a hat when you go out. ”

"Auntie, what's going on in front of you? Why did those scholars block the door? Facing Aunt Fang's praise, Meng Yuxuan only smiled. I heard too many compliments, and I didn't feel anything in my heart. She is now only interested in the current state of the teahouse. Seeing that the scholars blocked the streets, was their idea working?

"Not only is the door blocked, but our teahouse is also full of scholars! Madame doesn't know, the pair you wrote was spread by the scholars, and now everyone knows that we have a master here. Madame sat down in the wing, and I went to call my house in charge. Aunt Fang poured tea for Meng Yuxuan, and then went to the front yard to call Zhou Lao.

Meng Yuxuan drank two cups of tea, and Zhou Lao walked into the house sweating. He arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the old man is slacking." ”

After a night, Zhou Lao carefully read Meng Yuxuan's pair and had a deeper understanding of the 'teacher' she said. Yesterday I only took a cursory look at what she wrote, and I only knew that many of them were classic pairs. Later, when he studied it more closely, he found that the knowledge was far deeper than he had imagined. Therefore, he was more polite to this woman.

If one day he can meet his teacher through this woman, even if he can't meet his disciples, it will be very beneficial to find a way to get his guidance.

"It's a good thing that Mr. Zhou's business is good, which shows that my method is effective. Now that your business is good, I can be profitable. After all, I'm 20% profitable! Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly: "I just don't know how my hawthorn cake sells?" Can anyone want to buy it? ”

The old man was about to say this. How many hawthorn cakes does Madame still have? Your hawthorn cake was sold out yesterday afternoon, and now it's gone. Zhou Lao said with a smile.

"So fast? I remember there were more than two hundred pastries. Meng Yuxuan was surprised.

"Yes! It's sold out. In addition, there is another matter, the old man makes his own opinion, and asks the lady not to be surprised. Zhou Lao said with a smile: "The old man saw that there were many people, so he took it upon himself to set the price of hawthorn cake at seven yuan. Although the students have no opinion, after all, it is against your decision, so I don't know if you will be angry. ”

"Old Zhou is polite. To tell you the truth, my pastry uses a lot of precious materials, and I didn't make much profit when I sold Wuwen in the first place. Now that the price is seven, I can only be grateful. "No one would dislike having too much money. For those who are willing to spend five pennies on pastries, it is the same for adding two pennies. The person who wants to buy is always the one who wants to buy.

"Good! It's good that Madame doesn't blame. Zhou Lao said with a smile.

"Zhou Lao thinks about me, how can I blame it? This time I brought more than 100 pieces of pastry. I originally thought I would be prepared, but I didn't expect to actually use it. Meng Yuxuan smiled: "I'll do more tomorrow." In order to cater to more people's tastes, I will make something else when the time comes. ”

"Thank you, thank you. It's really hard madam. Zhou Lao said with satisfaction: "That...... Madame is playing here? Now they all know that there is a mysterious master in our teahouse who not only plays the piano well, but also writes well, and his literary talent is even more flying. When they asked just now, the old man didn't say a word. ”

"If you ask again, you will say that my name is 'leisurely'." Meng Yuxuan said: "If you don't say anything all the time, it is easy to attract the inquiry of others. ”

"Leisurely? The name is good for men and women, and it's really good. Zhou Lao touched his beard and nodded. Okay, that's it. The lady played the piano, and the old man went to the front to greet the guests. ”

"Elder Zhou, please." Meng Yuxuan smiled and said, "After the piano is played in a while, the little woman will leave on her own." You also know that there is a young son at home, and I have to rush back sooner. ”

"The little boy is not a thing in the pool at first glance. Madame is a blessed man. Zhou Lao recalled Shangguan Xi's face and said hesitantly.

Meng Yuxuan only flattered him and didn't think about anything else. In fact, Zhou Lao was fair and rigorous when he was an official, and he was not used to flattery, and he himself was not that kind of person. What I just said came from the bottom of my heart. Merely...... He didn't finish.

Zhou Lao learned to read physiognomy when he was young. The child's face is indeed the face of great fortune and great wealth. It's just a twist and turn in the early stage, and there were three crises before the age of fifteen. Once the crisis is over, this life is unspeakably precious.

Zhou Lao came and left in a hurry. The students of the academy and those who were studying at home had almost all heard the news, and he was really too busy to entertain hundreds of scholars today. The teahouse, which has been silent for more than a year, ushered in a more brilliant time than before, and the elderly Zhou Lao felt that his waist was not sore, his legs were not painful, and he was full of energy.

Meng Yuxuan stroked the strings and played a scholarly chant.

In the past, I never took fame,

Admiration for others is also pride.

Mo Dao was born at the wrong time,

I only hate to study hard and not succeed.

Incineration of the sundial for three thousand days,

I also studied hard as a scholar.

Fame has its own fame suffering,

I have fun as a mortal.

In the teahouse, the scholars who were arguing over the couplets on the wall stopped arguing. They listened to the sound of the piano coming from not far away.

Sometimes the sound of the piano is low and weeping, sometimes pleasant, sometimes painful, sometimes relieved. The scholars seem to have seen how high-spirited they used to be, but later they fell off the list several times, they were decadent and miserable, and even doubted the meaning of their existence. It wasn't until the end of the piano that they seemed to understand and be relieved.

Fame has its own fame, and I enjoy it as a mortal.

Do they read and write just to become famous? Is it just for the Gold List nomination? How many scholars are there in the world, and how many champions are there?

They are literate and literate, more for the sake of learning truth and distinguishing between loyalty and treachery. Since you can't pass the imperial examination, why don't you use the skills you have learned to find a lucrative job to do? In this way, the old mother of the family does not have to wash clothes in the cold winter, and the wife of the year will not lose her hair because of staying up late embroidery.

As soon as the song fell, the students were still wiping their tears. There was silence in the teahouse. The opponents who had just quarreled looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, a student asked softly, "Old Zhou, is that master of playing the piano the one you said to be a leisurely layman?" ”

Zhou Lao said yes.

The students received a clear answer and fell into deep thought.

"Elder Zhou, can you introduce me?" The student who had just asked continued to ask.

"Su Lang, the old man knows your thoughts. But the old man promised the layman that he would not tell anyone about his whereabouts. You don't want to make it difficult for others. Zhou Lao shook his head and said.

"Such a master, if we can learn a thing or two from him, we will definitely benefit a lot. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's ......," an old master next to him sighed helplessly. "The true masters have their own tempers. Do not disturb him, or he will be gone, and we will not even have a chance to experience his teachings from afar. ”
