Chapter 8: Cyclamen

Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "This shopkeeper is a kind-hearted person. ”

"And then?"

"It's gone."

Huang Meng thought to himself, what Qin Chuan said was not wrong, if the shopkeeper had a bad heart, it was impossible to invite a Taoist priest to drink wine for half a year.

They are outsiders, in fact, they don't tell the truth, they just get some wine, and if they get it, they will be pitted. As for the bad reputation, in fact, this incident happened to Changle Restaurant, and when it was spread, everyone else must have said that the shopkeeper's wife was insatiable and should be repaid.

It's just that the reputation is worse.

In short, the business of Changle Restaurant can't go on.

He asked Huang Er, the scholar next to him, "What do you think?" ”

Huang Er: "The shopkeeper's wife is indeed insatiable, and the well water is sold as wine, and there is no wine lees." It's me, and I'm going to be angry too. ”

"Huang San, what do you think?"

Huang San: "I think the shopkeeper's family has no foresight, and they shouldn't have abandoned their wine cellar." ”

Huang Meng looked at it again and remembered that she couldn't speak.

Ying Ning is still so young, not to mention.

asked Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan didn't say his opinion.

He pondered it carefully for a while, and said, "That Taoist priest is unfathomable, right and wrong are clear, and what he does is subtle. It's just that I don't think he's a master yet. What does Brother Qin think? ”

Qin Chuan asked rhetorically: "What does Brother Huang mean?" ”

At this time, Qin Chuan was slightly surprised in his heart, because he sensed a seed of inspiration from Huang Meng.

It seemed that something mysterious and mysterious attached to Huang Meng's body, making him begin to gather the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

But the inspiration has not yet gathered, and the time should not have come.

This made Qin Chuan feel very interesting.

He originally thought that he could get an opportunity to find Ning Caichen, but he didn't expect that Huang Meng would have an opportunity here.

Moreover, Huang Meng is the process of the germination of the spiritual machine, which is very helpful for Qin Chuan to observe the cause of the appearance of the spiritual machine.

Huang Meng: "The Taoist priest is just relying on his divine channel technique to tease mortals." If he is an ordinary person, people invite him to drink for half a year, and say a few unpleasant words about him, but it is actually nothing. Could it be that this shopkeeper can still let him really return the wine money? In fact, with his family background, he can also tease this kind of ordinary person, but he never disdains to do this kind of thing. ”

He was very proud, and when Huang Si came up with the idea to break Qin Chuan's legs so that he couldn't enter the examination room, he didn't bother to do it.

I just feel that the Taoist priest relies on his Taoist skills, and he will return the favor if he returns it. How can you play the world to tease mortals like this?

Can the atmosphere of the world be corrected because of his teasing and tease?

Huang Meng felt that if he had a divine channel technique, he would disdain to play the world, and with such idle time, it would be better to cultivate and become an immortal as soon as possible.

It's just that the family doesn't want him to learn the Divine Channel Technique, saying that he will go to the academy in the future and learn more profound things.

Huang Meng has no doubts.

To enter the academy, the imperial examination is a stepping stone.

Qin Chuan smiled, "The dish is here." ”

So the group ate food.

The food is fresh and the craftsmanship is good. Even if there is no wine to accompany it, the food at this restaurant will attract many customers.

After eating, Huang Meng took the initiative to check out.

Before leaving, Qin Chuan said to the shopkeeper: "The food of the shopkeeper's house is very delicious, if a monk in the future is like a Taoist priest, let you give alms and eat for a year and a half, and then make you a magic power to make the food come out of nothing, what will the shopkeeper do?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "When you still cook with your heart, what others give is always not as good as what you have." ”

Qin Chuan smiled faintly: "Then what else is there to worry about the shopkeeper?" ”

The shopkeeper was thoughtful, he opened the restaurant while re-cleaning the wine cellar, and he couldn't raise the wine cellar in his generation, and there were children and grandchildren.

He told his wife the truth, and presumably her would not be bothered by it.

The sake lees left over from brewing can still be fed to pigs, and even if the wine business is not as good as before, you can get some money back by raising pigs. Relying on the savings of the past few years, I can always get my life back.

The lessons of this time, passed on to future generations, can always be a warning to future generations.

What's more, he worked hard for half his life, invited the Taoist priest to drink wine for half a year, and he didn't have to bother making wine for a few years, and now his waist and legs are much better than a few years ago.

Now it's nothing more than a return to the hard work of the past.

also got a few young and idle days.

As soon as he thought about it, he felt that there was no more boredom in his heart, the reason made sense, and the Hun family would not be so blocked, and he wanted to go out to thank the showman just now.

But the people have gone far away and disappeared in the crowd.

It's noon.

Since then, the shopkeeper has managed the restaurant with all his heart, and he often tells the guests what happened to him, and he feels that this matter has a somewhat alarming effect.

If it doesn't work, you can also have fun for the guests.

There are many things in the world, and if you take the initiative to tell your own miserable things, it will be difficult for others to make fun of it.

"Brother Qin, what you said just now were you helping that shopkeeper?" On the way, Huang Meng asked.

"How?"

Huang Meng smiled lightly, "Brother Qin emphasized that the food was delicious, isn't it just enlightening him. It's just that Brother Qin's way of helping people is very special. You first asked him if he complained about the Taoist priest, and the shopkeeper said that he didn't complain, and he thought it was delicious after eating the food, so he felt that this family was not hopeless, so he finally hinted at enlightening him. Brother Qin is very clever, but he can't hide it from me. ”

Qin Chuan looked at Huang Meng and said leisurely: "Is it possible that I just think the food is really delicious." ”

"That's really good, but it's ...... compared to my family" He suddenly thought that Qin Chuan was born poor, and he really hadn't eaten much good food, whether it was a hairpin banquet or a Linchuan painting boat, when he saw Qin Chuan twice, he was happy to eat.

At the table just now, Ying Ning also ate very happily.

Obviously, the brother and sister often don't eat well.

He also heard that Qin Chuan had made some money in Lingzhou Mansion, but in the blink of an eye, he had built a manor, and such a self-made person with no background would definitely spend all his savings.

So Qin Chuan's words are not unreasonable.

Could it be that he was thinking too much.

Next, Huang Meng took the initiative to invite Qin Chuan to visit Nanke Town, and before dusk, the shopkeeper of Changle Restaurant found them, saying that if they didn't leave today, the shopkeeper invited them to stay in the store for one night for free.

It turned out that after the shopkeeper was explained by Qin Chuan, he went to comfort his wife, and his wife really figured it out. Because I have eaten a trench and grown wise, I feel that I will not be lacking in the future, and I have to be grateful.

Therefore, let the shopkeeper go to Qin Chuan and them, see if the person is gone, and if he doesn't leave, make some thanks.

Huang dreamed that this thing was interesting, so he stayed.

He also wondered if the Taoist priest would appear again.

At night, Huang Meng lived in one room by himself and one room for two scholars.

Before going back to the room to sleep, he also asked Qin Chuan if he wanted to read together at night, and Qin Chuan said that he had a good schedule and never stayed up late.

Huang Meng was shocked at first, and then thought that Qin Chuan was from a humble background, and he must have been reluctant to use oil lamps and candles before, and it was normal not to read at night.

It's just that I think that Qin Chuan can have a good body of knowledge like this, and my heart is quite pantothenic.

But this is also his chance.

He's going to make the most of his evenings.

Huang Meng brought his own candles, lit them, and began to stay up all night reading the scriptures.

Just as he was reading diligently, suddenly the door opened, and he heard the movement, and said angrily: "I said that when I read at night, don't come and disturb me." ”

But when he saw people outside the door, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Normally, at this time, it's time to go to bed."

The person who came was a beautiful woman.

As the night breeze blew in, a faint aroma wafted into the room. Huang Meng has also smelled a lot of fat powder, but he only thinks that this fragrance is indeed stronger than ordinary vulgar powder.

The woman also stroked the ends of her hair and leaned against the door, which was quite charming and moving.

Huang Meng said lightly: "Could it be that Brother Qin is looking for you to tease me, and he still has this spare money?" You go back and tell Brother Qin that he has a good eye. Then go out and close the door. ”

He felt that apart from Qin Chuan, it was impossible for anyone else here to tease him. Could it be because during the day he said that he had the capital to tease ordinary people, and Qin Chuan also deliberately spent money to find someone to tease him and let him try the taste of being teased?

Or was it the Taoist priest who teased the restaurant shopkeeper's family?

Anyway, no matter who it was, he didn't want to be fooled.

"Childe, what did you say? You told me to get out? The woman's face was quite surprised, could it be that the light here was too dim for this person to see her face?

She didn't retreat, but advanced, walked into the room, and came to Huang Meng's approach.

Huang Meng was very dissatisfied and said: "Don't you understand, I'll tell you to go out and close the door by the way." ”

"Childe, are you sick?" She sat down next to Huang Meng and was about to hold Huang Meng's hand.

Huang Meng pushed her away and said angrily: "I told you to let me out, don't you understand human words?" ”

The woman was frightened: "What's the matter with you, what are you pushing me to do?" ”

Huang Meng sneered, "Say, how much money he gave you, I'll give you double." You hurry up. ”

Woman: "Who is he?" I don't know what you mean. ”

Huang Meng: "Whoever it is, please leave immediately." ”

The woman couldn't help but smile, "I understand, you think I was paid by someone else to tease you?" You think I'm a prostitute in the kiln? ”

Huang Meng: "Isn't it?" If you have to tell the truth, you can't help it. ”

The woman said: "Son, you misunderstood, I didn't pay someone else to invite me, but came voluntarily." Long nights, no sleep. Doesn't Childe want to talk to the slave? ”

"Could it be that we've met?" Huang Meng couldn't help but sneer.

The woman said softly: "During the day, when the son was playing in Nanke Town, the slave fell in love with you. ”

"Oh, I still have a son by my side, why didn't you fall in love with him?"

"That man is not as handsome and dashing as Childe, and Childe looks richer than him."

"Even if you can speak, what is your origin?"

"I, I'm the concubine of a nearby laborer, and I want to spend a good night with my son tonight...... Boom...... Uh-huh... Uh-huh... Woo ......"

Huang Meng showed a disdainful expression and looked at her, "Then you are no different from a prostitute." ”

The woman said affectionately: "How come, prostitutes are sold for themselves, and slaves are of their own free will. ”

Huang Meng let out an "oh", "I understand, prostitutes are forced, and you are guilty of being cheap." ”

The woman seemed to be heartbroken, and pulled her sleeves open, revealing purple bruises, "It's not that the slaves are abused outside the laborers, and the slave family is sad, so they came to Gongzi for comfort, is Gongzi so ruthless and despises the slave family?" ”

"You are a delicate woman, what is he abusing you for, is it possible that you often steal people and find out for him?"

"No, it's the first time for the slave family. That's because he didn't use it outside the worker, and he couldn't do it, so he used a whip to vent on the slave's family, and the slave couldn't stand it. I just want to be a woman. Besides, don't you men like us women like this? She took off her clothes, half-exposed a touch of fragrant shoulders, and there were bruises on them, but under the lighting, she couldn't help but feel the urge to pity and play.

"Please also ask the son to take pity on the slave family, and don't be as rude as the old thing." Her voice is soft and charming, listening to it makes people's hearts numb, crispy, itchy, and a delicate and pitiful look, and people can't help but want to care for her and love her.

As she spoke, the warm fragrance of nephrite poured on Huang Meng's body, and the aroma of her intoxicated daughter gushed out.

Huang Meng's hand couldn't help but press on her shoulder, and then pressed hard.

"Childe, why are you so rude?" The woman groaned and lay into Huang Meng's arms.

Who knew that Huang Meng let go of his hand, and the woman fell to the ground.

The woman bit her lip and burst into tears, "Does Childe have to be as rough as an old thing?" The slave is really miserable, but who makes the slave like you, come on.

"Don't act." Huang Meng responded coldly with a tone that saw through everything.

"What am I playing?"

Huang Meng: "You also have an injury on your shoulder, but I pinched you hard, and you didn't react at all, and thought I was flirting with you." ”

The woman's tears rolled out, "That's because people are emotional, forget the pain." It turns out that the son likes the slave family, and the slave family calls you. ”

Huang Meng sneered: "Even if you are right, but when people are proud, they will always get carried away, when you fell into my arms just now, you thought I had been tricked, so you showed a smug smile." ”

The woman put away the coquettishness on her face, stood up and got dressed, and asked, "I didn't expect that I was sent to your arms, and your mind is still spinning." Do you not like women at all, and you are still not a man? ”

Huang Meng: "How can a slut like you understand what a real man is." I haven't looked down on a cheap person like you from the beginning, and a manly man, if you can be easily confused by women, what big deal can you do? This is also where Huang is conceited in his life. ”

Woman: "So you rejected me to prove that you are a manly man?" You think being fascinated by me will make you lose face, right? But you also got me, I'm not as good as your face? ”

"You're not a man, and of course you won't understand that."

"Then you also hurt my dignity as a woman, do you understand?"

"I don't understand, and I don't need to. But I understand one thing, it's time for you to go. ”

Huang Meng raised the candle, and there was a big idea that if the woman didn't leave, he would burn her.

The woman gritted her teeth, then left, and when she arrived at the door, Huang Meng called out to her.

A hint of smugness flashed on her face instantly, and she immediately turned around, blinking coquettishly and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Meng looked indifferent: "After you go out, close the door." ”

The woman's face darkened, and she walked out of the door, and a gust of bad wind slammed the door shut.

Huang Meng got on the door bolt, wondering in his heart, how did Huang Er and Huang San next door sleep like dead pigs, and they didn't react at all.

He came back to his senses at this time, and felt that the woman who came to the third watch in the middle of the night was definitely not a concubine from a laborer's family.

Which concubine of a big family can run out in the middle of the night.

Could it be a female ghost?

A cold sweat broke out in his vest.

Fortunately, he was determined enough to scold the other party.

"I wonder if there will be a female ghost knocking on the door in Qinchuan?"

He tossed and turned, and didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Qin Chuan was in good spirits.

Huang Meng looked haggard, he was not convinced when he saw this, could it be that the female ghost really didn't go to Qin Chuan. Huang Meng asked, "Brother Qin, did someone come to your door last night and knock on the door?" ”

"You mean a female ghost?" Qin Chuan went straight to the point.

Huang Meng couldn't help but be curious, "Brother Qin drove her away?" ”

He thought to himself, in this way, Qin Chuan also met a female ghost, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong, so he drove away the female ghost like him.

It's just that he should have slept well last night, so that his mental complexion would not be as haggard as he is now, so it can be said that he had a tie with Qin Chuan.

He hasn't had a draw with Qin Chuan yet.

Thinking that he didn't grasp such a good opportunity, Huang Meng couldn't help but regret it.

Qin Chuan didn't speak, but it was Ying Ning who spoke, "The female ghost was shaken away by her brother's heroic righteousness. ”

Huang Meng couldn't help but be petrified.

What, Qin Chuan has Haoran righteousness.

In fact, Huang Mingshi probably guessed a little bit about this, but he couldn't bear to tell Huang Meng, so as not to hit his confidence.

Haoran righteousness, ghosts and gods are easy.

This is the goal set by Huang Mingshi for Huang Meng.

If you raise a breath of righteousness, you will naturally be a great Confucian in the world, admired by others, and the ghosts and gods will also have to give way.

For those who can cultivate a righteous spirit, it is also a matter of great speed and ease to cultivate the Tao.

He thought about it in his heart and wanted to cultivate righteousness.

The reason why he disdains to use ruthless means to deal with Qin Chuan is because he has this thought. If you want to cultivate Haoran righteousness, you can't be a villain.

If you want revenge, you have to come with dignity.

But what he dreamed of, Qin Chuan already had.

What is the use of his family wealth?

The Huang family's thousands of scriptures and thousands of commentaries, can they be exchanged for a mouthful of righteousness?

Qin Chuan saw Huang Mengleng and asked softly, "Brother Huang was confused by a female ghost last night?" How can you be so emaciated. ”

Huang Meng's words came to his lips, and he couldn't think of how to explain it for a while, could it be that he didn't sleep all night because of the female ghost?

Qin Chuan didn't ask too much, just said that he was going to Jinhua County next, and asked Huang Meng if he wanted to go.

Huang Meng happened to have an uncle who was serving as a county magistrate, so he naturally wanted to go.

However, he was quite shocked, and said goodbye to Qin Chuan first.

Qin Chuan didn't force it, but just took Huang Meng as the other party to observe. The formation of spiritual opportunities requires fate.

He may be self-defeating if he intervenes by force.

So Qin Chuan and his entourage went to Jinhua County again.

On the road, there was a Taoist priest who walked in front of them from behind, and his feet were very fast, and he disappeared after a while, leaving behind the sound of Taoist singing.

"Away from the dust, the cyclamen is accustomed to watching the sun and the moon fly shuttle, and the geese come and go in the cold and summer.

Lazy eyes of the world, what is the love word, must be thorough, understand the trade-offs, this heart is also like gold and stone, why do you need to be humane?

Since all the love is hot and easy to die, the Taoist is like a cool moonlight. ”
