Chapter 5 All the Way
In the past few days, the car has been stop-and-go along the way, and He Yan has not said a few words.
It's no wonder that Fang Shuo and He Yan take turns acting as coachmen, but the ancient proverb is that as soon as they get in the car, they fall asleep and never wake up except for eating.
Speaking of which, the two brothers, Fang Shuo and He Yan, don't care about each other, it doesn't matter who is the coachman. The old proverb is also a guest, and he should not have to be forced to drive. It's just that this ancient proverb is really rude, and the look of peace of mind makes He Yan angry.
He Yan thinks that no matter how good your ancient proverb is, you should be polite, even if it is pretentious. You pretend to be polite, but it won't be good, why don't you wake up when you eat, and you still pick meat to eat. It's so rude, it's really infuriating.
He Yan was not angry, but Fang Shuo was a lot more relieved along the way. The old proverb does nothing, so that it is best for Fang Shuo. If he was free, Fang Shuo would talk and laugh with He Yan, not to mention how comfortable it was.
At this moment, He Yan saw Fang Shuo's indifferent look, and he became even more angry. Because if it weren't for Fang Shuoduo's mouth, how could the ancient proverb go all the way with them. Besides, he Fang Shuo still acted like he was fine.
Starting from Lingquan to Xuanyue Mountain, it is not far by land. Shanglianhui Bridge crossed the Danjiang Estuary, and the carriage traveled another sixty or seventy miles, and it arrived.
But after so many boring days, how could He Yan, the son, endure it. Even if he He Yan can barely hold back his irritability, but when he encounters an ancient proverb, he He Yan really can't bear it.
"No, no. It's suffocated me for so many days. He Yan finally got impatient, and he made up his mind and shouted, "We have to stay in the hotel today." Otherwise, I'll go crazy. ”
Seeing that He Yan was so excited, Fang Shuo agreed: "Okay, let's find an inn to stay in today." Now that we have passed the Danjiang Estuary, we will soon arrive at Fujin. ”
Sure enough, within a few miles, we arrived at Fujin.
The carriage was still walking on the street, and He Yan jumped out of the car and shouted: "Oh, torture me to death, your grandfather's, the bones are almost weak." After speaking, He Yan stretched a big lazy waist.
"Well, Fang Shuo is the most familiar with this place, tell me where we live today?" He Yan turned around and asked Fang Shuo.
"There is an inn in front of here, called Fuyuan Building. It's the one with the wooden sign in front, it's clean and spacious enough, it's pretty good. That's where we live. Fang Shuo pointed to the front and replied.
It's about the same as Lingquan, and there are not many people in Fujin. Most of the pedestrians on the streets are businessmen who travel from various large states. Because of the excellent location, some locals started to open inns. With a large amount of silver from the merchants, it didn't take long for Fujin to transform from a small village into a large town no less than the state capitals and counties. This is where the name Fuzu comes from.
Fuyuan Building is the largest inn in Fujin. When you come to the door, the two stone lions with excellent carving skills can show the wealth of Fuyuan Tower.
The guy at the door had high eyesight, and he could see early that Fang Shuo's group was here to stay. Before the carriage could stop, the two men came up to meet him. One of the little brothers saluted them and asked enthusiastically, "How many of you are here to stay?" ”
He Yan hurriedly said: "Exactly, exactly." Do you still have rooms here? ”
The little brother smiled: "Yes, of course there is." Come with me, a few of you. Another fellow stepped forward to take the reins from Fang Shuo's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Childe, don't worry, hand over the carriage to me, please come downstairs." I'll lead the carriage to the backyard and take care of it for you. ”
Fang Shuo thanked him and said, "Then there is Brother Lao." Turning around and lifting the curtain, Fang Shuo nudged the ancient proverb a few times and shouted, "Brother Gu, wake up, wake up." We're staying at the hotel. ”
Gu Yan was woken up, and he didn't say much, and got out of the carriage with Fang Shuo neatly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up straight, the ancient proverb opened his mouth and asked, "Is there anything delicious here?" ”
Fang Shuo couldn't cry or laugh, but the little brother on the side said enthusiastically: "Yes, of course there is." The guest officer has everything he wants, all kinds of ingredients, all kinds of tastes, to ensure that the guest officer is satisfied. ”
The pomp and circumstance of Fuyuan Building is really big enough and exquisite. After being invited in by the guys, the hall was neatly furnished. The counter inside is not high, and even a little short, and the shopkeeper's writing and bookkeeping is afraid that he has to bend down to reach it. On the walls on both sides are hung long calligraphy and paintings, all of which are the handwritings of famous artists, including Yu Jinyan from Qingzhou, Feng Bizhai from Xuzhou, and Peng Kaiting from Liangzhou. Yongzhou mahogany tables and chairs in Yishui, with Ming kiln porcelain from Yangzhou. There is no ceiling between the downstairs and the upper floor, and the downstairs leads to the second floor, which has excellent lighting. The bright green bonsai is decorated just right, and there will be no suspicion of being cumbersome. The whole hall is simple and elegant, but also exquisite, so that guests can relax, calm and comfortable.
He Yan praised: "A good place, it really deserves to be a town under Xuanyue Mountain." ”
Fang Shuo urged: "Okay, don't sigh." Why don't you hurry up and ask for three rooms? All the money is on you. Also, remember not to ask for a first-class room, you won't have enough money. ”
"Oh, you're really a mother-in-law, and I'm not stupid." He Yan replied.
As soon as he stepped forward, He Yan walked to the counter, and the shopkeeper asked first, "What does the guest officer need?" ”
"I want three normal rooms, some food and drinks, and the rest." He Yan said.
"Okay, how about the three rooms that opened the Xuanzi number C for you? It's all leaning together. The shopkeeper asked.
"It's good, it's good. That's it for now. He Yan replied.
Fang Shuo and his entourage, led by the guys in the building, walked around the corner to the inner corridor. After a short time, the three of them followed the man to the door of the room. The man left, and the three of them went into the house.
As soon as Fang Shuo sat down, he didn't even have time to drink his saliva, and He Yan came to the door. As soon as he entered the house, He Yan poured bitter water and asked Fang Shuo, "I said, why did you bring the ancient proverb?" Didn't you want me to come to Xuanyue Mountain to apprentice? Bring him on, what's the matter? Oh, by the way, I also took him in, let me be brothers with the ancient proverb? ”
Fang Shuo couldn't tell He Yan the truth, so he had to give He Yan an angry look. Pouring himself a glass of water, Fang Shuo said: "Listen to me on the road, yes, I can still harm you." Brother Gu, I don't think it's anything like that. The personality of a cultivator is always a little weird, and you will get used to it later. ”
He Yan rested his head on the table and asked depressedly, "Then what should we do when we go up the mountain?" You're not really going to take him to your master, are you? ”
"Brother Gu should just be curious, didn't he say it, Xuanyue Mountain is not a good place in his eyes. As soon as Brother Gu's novelty passes, I think maybe he will find a reason to say goodbye to us. Fang Shuo said.
"What if he is curious and wants to apprentice? Maybe it is. No, I'll have to ask him. After He Yan finished speaking, he got up and went to the ancient proverb.
Fang Shuo picked up the cup and was about to take a sip of tea, when suddenly He Yan moved all of a sudden, Fang Shuo didn't react, He Yan had already left. This made Fang Shuo anxious, put down the cup and hurriedly followed.
The two arrived at Gu Yan one after the other, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Gu Yan gnawing on a leg of mutton again. The old proverb is a roast leg of lamb in one hand, and there is a pile on the table.
He Yan was furious on the spot, and roared angrily at the ancient proverb: "Who asked you to order the roast leg of mutton, and ordered so much at one point, where do I have extra silver for you now." I said how can you be like this. Oops, it me off. ”
Fang Shuo didn't want He Yan to make a big deal about it, so he hurriedly persuaded: "It's okay, it's okay, I know the owner of this Fuyuan Building." For the sake of me and my master's face, it doesn't matter if I return the account on credit. ”
The old proverb was eating deliciously, and when he heard the two of them talking, he put down the leg of mutton on his right hand, took out a bag of silver from his bosom, threw it on the table, picked up the leg of mutton and gnawed on it and said, "Isn't it money?" I have. ”
At this time, He Yan and Fang Shuo were dumbfounded, and the scene in front of them seemed a little funny.
The ancient proverb continued: "The things here are very delicious, I won't go to Xuanyue Mountain, you can do whatever you want." Oh yes, this leg of lamb, do you eat it? Take it casually, you're welcome. ”
He Yan immediately stepped forward and took two legs of mutton, and raised his hand to turn around and ask Fang Shuo: "If you don't take this for nothing, do you want it?" ”
"You eat. I went back. After Fang Shuo finished speaking, he turned around and went back.
He Yan stayed and sat down with the ancient proverb to nibble on the leg of mutton. I don't know if he was really hungry, or if he had the intention of revenge against the ancient proverb, He Yan threw off his arm and worked hotly, as if he wanted to compete with the ancient proverb to see which of the two of them ate more and ate faster.
didn't care about how the two people next door were making trouble, Fang Shuo calmed down at this moment, picked up the cup, and tasted the tea carefully.
Back then, he said goodbye to his master and lived in seclusion in Lingquan. originally planned to live a quiet life like this, but who would have thought that he would meet He Yan, a disgusting guy, and become friends with him in a daze. What kind of variables will he take to Xuanyue Mountain this time?
Lying in bed and closing his eyes, his thoughts could not stop, and Fang Shuo did not know when he fell asleep.
The next morning, when he opened his eyes, Fang Shuo got up and washed up. Pushing the door into the corridor, the Fuyuan Building at this time seemed to come to life. The merchants made their way to the lobby one after another, ready to leave.
Fang Shuo had already gotten up early enough, but he didn't expect that the merchants who came and went had already eaten early and were ready to leave. Seeing this scene, Fang Shuo couldn't help but sigh: "There is no joy in the morning light, and the guest can especially go to the early expedition." Thirty-six journeys of summer and cold, half a lifetime of running for the rest of his life. ”
"Ahhh He Yan, who stretched out and changed his tone three times in a row, opened the door, squinted his eyes and paced towards Fang Shuo, "What a broken poem, early in the morning, what kind of madness is Fang Da poet doing here." ”
Fang Shuo was surprised and said with a smile: "Why did He Gongzi get up early?" On weekdays, if you don't sleep until noon, you won't be able to get up. What's the matter, the sun is coming out in the west today. ”
"I also wanted to sleep a little longer, but I ate too much mutton last night, and my stomach felt like a stone. I couldn't sleep well at night, but in the morning, I heard you screaming here, so I better not sleep. He Yan said with a bitter face.
"Hahaha, eat meat to the fullest, you He Yan is also a rare strange person in the world. I really don't know if it's a blessing? Or retribution? Hahaha. Fang Shuo laughed for a while, and then asked He Yan, "What about Brother Gu?" How is he? Is it the same as you? ”
"As the old proverb goes, that guy is a stuffy gourd, and he looks very bad. But if you stay with him for a long time, he's still a friend. If you want me to say, he's weird enough. After eating the leg of lamb in the middle of the night, he went out without saying hello, and asked him where he was going, but he didn't say. I've never seen anything like it. He Yan yawned.
This time, Fang Shuo let go of the heart that had been hanging for many days, walked towards the lobby easily, and said to He Yan with a gesture of his hand: "Okay, let's go up the mountain." ”
