"Shopkeeper Huang, go slowly! Ouch, Ah Wu, hold on a little. Fauber's voice was loud, joy mixed with concern.

"Hey, shopkeeper Huang, come, slow down! How can you go when you're drunk like this? Ah Wu complained.

I bothered up to the door, and was stumbling towards the yellow shopkeeper, and the whole person also rushed towards me. Ah Wu didn't expect it, but fortunately I hugged him, otherwise the two of them would have to lie down.

The smell of wine, the smell of strong wine!

The owner just now also smelled of wine, and he should have just eaten wine!

I was happy at first, and then I was confused again. In this New Year's month, it is normal to eat wine, if you only look for the lord from the people who eat wine, wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack?

"Jianghu, what are you stunned about, take a hand." Ah Wu shouted at me as if he had seen a savior.

"Oh."

I had to exert my strength, straighten the shopkeeper Huang, pick up one of his arms and put it on my shoulder, and swayed with Ah Wu to the shop next to him, fortunately they were close, and they also had men in the shop to take care of, so there was nothing to do with us.

"Ah, I'm tired." Ah Wu thumped his shoulder: "Why did you go?" Coming back after dark? The eldest lady has asked you many times, and it is not easy for Mrs. Wang to persuade her to go back to the room. ”

"Oh, I went to see Meng Zhutou with Long Yuhan, and chatted with him for a while, but it was delayed."

"Caught head? The one who was poisoned and cut off one of his legs a few years ago on a mission? ”

"Hmm."

"Hey, do you really have a tael of silver to make every month?"

"Hmm." I snorted, rubbed my arm, and reached for the back of my waist.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I fell on the road." I smiled and went back to the inn with Ah Wu.

"Ah Wu, put away these words of the owner, and hang them out tomorrow morning." Fauber commanded, and quickly dialed the abacus in his hand, without raising his head.

I looked at the cabinet, only to see that in addition to the remaining "harmony and wealth" and Li Bai's "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall" last time, there are also more "All the best", I think it is newly written, I don't know if the missing few Li Bai's poems were bought, or they really can't be sold and put away.

"Do you want me to take it? I'll have to go upstairs to clean up. Ah Wu frowned, and instead smiled at me, everything was silent.

I was not blind, and I was not stupid, but of course I understood what he meant, and quickly replied, "Fauber, I'll come." ”

"Then be careful, don't break it, the owner is still counting on selling it for a good price."

"Hey."

I moved a bench, stepped on it, carefully removed the scroll, and rolled it down from the top, only to smell the ink fragrance and refreshment.

Ink fragrance!

My heart trembled, and I suddenly thought of the smell of the lord of Xiang that I smelled in the wilderness just now, in addition to the smell of wine, there is also a fragrance, at that time I didn't expect what kind of spice, I only felt a little familiar, and at this moment I realized that it was actually the fragrance of ink!

"Pine Smoke!" I blurted out.

Fauber finally raised his head: "Oh, that's right, this 'All the best' is newly written by the owner, using the pine smoke ink that I just bought a few years ago." Didn't he write you a couplet? ”

"Hmm." I answered. I took a few more and smelled them carefully, although they were all ink-scented, but after tasting them carefully, there were subtle differences. In the past, he only used ordinary ink, but the new ink he bought has more agarwood in it, and the fragrance is even more unique.

Unique scent!

I was so nervous that I almost fell off the bench: "Fauber, do you know how many new characters he wrote during the Chinese New Year, that is, after the owner changed his ink?" Who are they sold to? ”

"Newly written?" Fauber looked at me confusedly, "Is there a problem?" ”

"Business!" I didn't know if I was feeling accurate, so I had to answer vaguely.

"Uh...... In addition to this 'All the best', didn't I also send you a couplet? Oh, on the day of the New Year, I also sent a couplet to Li Huichun, oh, and posted a picture at the door of the Qincha Academy, hey, they were all sent, and I didn't earn a penny. Then I wrote a couplet to the shopkeeper Huang and earned a tael of silver, didn't you just see this when you came to eat with the dragon catcher? ”

"That's all?"

"Well, that's all." Fu Bo shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, I don't really like calligraphy, who buys these?" The first few poems of Li Bai, not the proprietress quietly sent someone to buy it, but the owner didn't know, and thought that his calligraphy was more popular, and hung a piece out every two days, saying that he wanted to make money, hey, I just begged him to come to the inn less, don't offend the guests on Amitabha. ”

I carefully pondered Fu Bo's words, and according to what he said, the only people who came into contact with Li Dongsheng's new ink were me, Li Huichun, Xiao Mu, and the Huang shopkeeper who got Mobao today.

I got closer and smelled it again, but it was just the fragrance of ink, and the fragrance would not stick to my body for a long time, unless I put the words on my body like the yellow shopkeeper......

Yellow shopkeeper!

"Fu Bo, Shopkeeper Huang has been entertaining guests at the inn today?" My voice trembled a little with excitement.

"yes." Fauber looked confused: "What's wrong?" ”

"Did he leave halfway through?"

"No, I don't. He opened the shop today, invited the troupe to make a fuss all morning, and then ended the show until the end of the day, and then brought three tables of guests over, and all the three private rooms upstairs were all covered, and a few women were invited from Wanhualou to sing songs. Didn't you just come back and bump into it? Fu Bo said, raising the account book: "Thanks to him, our inn has also made the first fortune of the year, I just hope that there will be more such guests in the future, otherwise they will all eat noodles, and this inn will die sooner or later." ”

I still don't give up: "Shopkeeper Huang really didn't leave for a moment?" ”

Fu Bo stared at me and shouted upstairs, "Ah Wu, Shishi, Chenxian, all come down!" ”

"How?"

The three of them came downstairs one after another, still holding empty plates in their hands.

Fu Bo looked at the guests who were still eating in the guest hall, beckoned to the back kitchen, and waited for us to pass before he asked carefully: "Have you noticed that Shopkeeper Huang has quietly left our inn during the meal?" ”

Ah Wu put down the dishes and chopsticks and shook his head blankly: "No, he toasted people next to each other and urged us to serve food, and he was always there." ”

"Well, I saw him all the time. What's wrong? Does he have any problems? Stone asked, with a simple look.

Sun Chenxian was also full of suspicion: "Brother Jianghu, does he have any problems?" ”

"Oh, Chenxian, you also find time to read and write on weekdays. Generally speaking, if you touch ink, will you have the fragrance of ink on your body? "I think it's still necessary to ask the reader for this kind of thing.

Sun Chenxian tilted his head and thought for a while, and stretched out his arm to me: "Half an hour ago, I saw that the store was not busy, and there were also fifth brothers and stone brothers in the private room greeting them, and I took the time to write a few words, do you smell it, is there a smell of ink?" ”

I smiled: "How can ordinary ink be so fragrant?" ”

Sun Chenxian was happy: "I used pine smoke ink, there is agarwood in it, and the words written are with a faint fragrance, but it smells good." ”

I was shocked: "What? Do you also use rosin ink? ”

Sun Chenxian scratched his head: "I know that this kind of ink is quite expensive, but Sister Mu said that to do what you like, you have to be willing to pay for it, as long as I study hard, I will soar in the future, and what is the ink of a mere piece of silver or two?" ”

"Was it given to you by Mrs. Mu?"

"Well, I sent it on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, saying that I saw that the owner had bought it in Liao's Wenzhai, and the writing was very beautiful, so I gave me a piece, hehe, I was reluctant to write. I am afraid that my handwriting will be ugly and I will waste such precious ink. But Sister Mu said that she would check every few days, and I had to practice ten words a day. ”

"It's just a piece of ink, it's more expensive, it's just a New Year's gift for children, what's wrong?" Ah Wu glanced at me: "Hey, unlike us, we don't have this treatment when we grow up, we have been tired and tired for a year, not to mention one or two silver inks, and I didn't even reward one more penny of copper plates!" ”

Fu Bo slapped it over: "You kid, the boss lady doesn't eat you on weekdays?" Hit you and scolded you? Not satisfied! It's a shame that the proprietress is still waiting for the New Year, and ask the matchmaker to tell you about the family......"

"Huh? Say goodbye to me? Scold...... Hehehe...... When did the hostess say that? Are you sure? Ah Wuyi became excited, and he was very embarrassed to scratch his ears and cheeks.

"It's not just you, it's the stones." Fu Bo looked at the two: "The proprietress said that you have worked in the inn for so many years, and you are not young, and you should marry a daughter-in-law." Wait to pick a good day for you to Zhang Luo Zhang. ”

"This ...... Hehe, thank you boss. The stone also blushed.

"So what are you doing here? Still not working? Fu Bo yelled at the three of them, and turned to look at me: "Oh, Jianghu, you just asked this...... What happened to Shopkeeper Huang? Any questions? ”

"I ...... I'll just ask. I remember hearing the shopkeeper Huang say that he has been open for more than ten years? ”

"Well, it was his father who was in charge, and he took over when his father died ten years ago. What's wrong? You won't be suspicious of the shopkeeper ......"

"Oh, it's fine. I'll just ask, hehe, just ask. "I'm a little embarrassed for a while, it seems that I'm smart again, pine smoke ink, hehe, this world is not just a piece, and this world is not only used by Li Dongsheng, just by holding Li Dongsheng's newly written couplet in the sleeve of the yellow shopkeeper, what can this mean?

Lord! Hey, I thought I was going to take off your veil soon, and I thought I almost wronged a good guy.

"Brother Jianghu, you're back. Haven't had dinner yet? Wang Jiajia asked.

"Oh, Jiajia, did A-Niang sleep?"

"No, I'm still waiting for you. If it hadn't been for me and Fauber, she would have almost gone out to find you. Wang Jiajia pointed to the guest room: "You go and talk to your mother, I'll make you something to eat." ”

"Hey."

When I entered the house, I saw A-Niang's cold face and twisted her head to the side.

"Auntie, haven't slept yet?"

"Do you still know to come back?" Ah Niang's anger finally broke out.

"I'm sorry to worry about A-Niang, I'm really going to get down to business."

A-Niang looked at the door and tried to lower her voice a little: "You should understand that I don't want you to be rich and rich in my life, I just want you to be safe." I've heard that you actually used yourself as bait to catch the Tibetans? Have you ever wondered how you let me live if something happens? ”

I hurriedly went over with a hippie smile to help A-Niang rub her shoulders: "A-Niang is angry, aren't I fine?" A-Niang, don't worry, I'm also afraid of death, there are dangerous things, no matter how much money Xiao Mu gives me, I won't do it! ”

"That's it! It's just that you coax Jiajia, don't fool the old lady here, such a big person, you have to weigh yourself when you encounter something, anyway, you only have one life! ”
