Chapter 34 Scholar Han Feng
It is a hundred miles away from Luoyang City, and it takes three days for ordinary people, and in order to hurry, they copied the path, but it took two days to reach the destination, Luoyang City!
Luoyang City is under the jurisdiction of Runzhou, and it is one of the richest cities in the three counties of Youzhou, where the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes gather, and at the same time, trade is also continuous, and rich merchants usually resell what they bring from other places to the merchants in the city.
It's just that since the end of the plague, Luoyang City seems to have gone through a wash, and the surrounding shops are either closed or empty, not at all like a place where they are doing business.
Everyone came to a liquor store, and the business here was the same, there were basically no people in sight, only the shopkeeper kept tapping the abacus in his hand in front of the counter.
Bang bang... Bang Bang Bang ......
Xu Qing looked around and said, "Boss, when did this place become so deserted?" ”
The owner of the wine shop didn't raise his head and said: "It happened a long time ago, if the little brother drinks, sit down, if he doesn't drink, leave as soon as possible." ”
Fluttershy frowned, "Hey, boss, is this your hospitality?" ”
The boss put down the movement in his hand and raised his head to look at the few young people in front of him, "So what, I don't plan to stay here anymore." ”
Fluttershy was a little angry, but was stopped by Xu Qing and smiled, "I don't know why Luoyang City has become like this." ”
The boss saw that Xu Qing was still a loyal person, so he responded: "Little brother doesn't know, this street is called Longshou Street, it was originally very prosperous, but a few months ago, a plague broke out in the city, and the head of the Li family suddenly died, and the original house title deed skyrocketed several times, and some merchants couldn't accept the price here, so they left one after another." ”
"And I'm not going to do it anymore, I'm going to leave Luoyang City early tomorrow morning."
The boss took out two jugs of wine from the cabinet and said, "This is the last treasure, I thought I drank it myself, but when I saw the two of them coming, I took them out." ”
"Thank you."
Xu Qing bowed his hand.
This boss is also a poor man.
After tasting the wine, he said: "The taste is not bad, the entrance is fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless." ”
"Little brother also knows how to drink."
"I understand one or two."
Xu Qing said modestly.
The owner of the liquor shop laughed and said, "If you had come here three years earlier, there would have been a lot of fine wine here." ”
"It's a good wine too."
Xu Qing commented.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."
The owner of the liquor store shook his head and sighed, "It looks like you are not from the neighborhood." ”
"We are people who have traveled the rivers and lakes, and we have come here to do one thing."
Hearing this, the boss reminded: "Little brother, you still don't want to go out at night recently, this time is not very peaceful, you can hear the sound of ghosts crying wolves in the early hours of the morning, it is very scary, if you don't plan to spend the night, leave quickly." ”
Xu Qing and the two glanced at each other, they didn't expect this kind of big event to happen in Luoyang City recently, but this time they mainly came to Shangzhuxiang.
Fluttershy takes a sip of her wine, but the spicy sensation in her mouth causes her to put down her glass again, and sure enough, she can't afford it.
Came to the Zhao Mansion.
The once glorious mansion was already in tatters, with plaques thrown in half, overgrown with weeds and no living creatures in the courtyard.
Zhao Qingmei held the plaque in her arms with trembling hands with red eyes, and kept recalling the pictures of her youth in her mind.
Fluttershy is also disappointed, and walks into the courtyard, where there are no living people, and the ancestral hall is filled with the ancestors of the Zhao family, who are stupid and stupid, but they have some business acumen, otherwise they would not have been able to thrive in just a few decades.
Zhao Qingmei knelt on the ground, tears wet her eyes, "Qingmei is not filial, may the ancestors forgive." ”
Fluttershy takes out three stout thousand-year-old incense sticks.
Zhao Qingmei lit it, inserted it in the bronze casting tripod in the courtyard, and inserted incense for the ancestors, kowtowing in front of it.
Xu Qing took Ling'er to the utility room, and the moment he opened the door, all the tools accumulated a thick layer of dust.
Pick up the broom and start cleaning with the bucket rag.
It took more than an hour inside and out to barely clean the bedroom, and the Zhao Mansion was still very large, and it would take at least a month to restore it to its original state.
Pulling weeds is enough to be busy.
As for those furniture, most of Xu Qing threw them into the warehouse, such as pots and pans, and tattered bookcases, because they had not been used for a long time, and the hard protons had been left on them, which were difficult to clean.
Until late at night, several rooms were finally cleared out, and women who married into their in-laws' families usually had a three-day return to the world, and now although the family is not there, Zhao Qingmei still plans to live at home for three days.
"Thank you, husband."
Xu Qing held his hand and said, "We don't need to say thank you between us, this is what we should do." ”
Zhao Qingmei lay on her side in Xu Qing's arms, her red lips moved slightly, feeling the heartbeat from her husband's chest, and said, "Husband, there will be nothing at home." ”
"No, I'll ask Lin Feng Daoyou to help take care of it for a few days, and Tianlu and Xiao Hei are still here, nothing will happen."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingmei's hanging heart gradually let go, and she muttered for a long time and said, "Husband...... Merle had a reluctant request. ”
"You say."
Zhao Qingmei bit her lower lip lightly, and her voice was intermittent, "Husband...... I would like to relocate my family to Luoyang City......"
Xu Qing was silent, hugged her shoulders and said, "Let's discuss this later, Luoyang City is so depressed now, even if we really move over, we will be worried about food." ”
"And Luoyang City is far away from the Misty Forest, so you have to think twice."
Zhao Qingmei nodded slightly, what her husband said was not unreasonable.
But I was still a little reluctant to Zhao Mansion in my heart.
In the end, in the ideological struggle, Zhao Qingmei slowly compromised, as the saying goes, marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, since she is already Xu Qing's wife, everything must be for the sake of her husband.
At this time, Ling'er walked out with a basin of dirty water, and her face was also a little dusty, "Husband, you are lazy again." ”
Zhao Qingmei immediately stood up, "Sister Ling'er, I'll help you." ”
The two began to clean up the furniture in the room, while Xu Qing came to the street and looked around.
Although no one has come to Luoyang City for a long time, no one knows if there are any strange people, not to mention that the owner of the wine shop said that the sound of ghosts crying wolves will be heard late every night, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
"Fellow Daoist."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound behind him, Xu Qing slowly turned around and looked at the comer, he didn't feel the breath of this person, it seemed that this person's cultivation was above him.
Xu Qing looked at the scholar in front of him and said, "These Taoist friends, do we know each other?" ”
The scholar said: "The world is all friends, how can you talk about whether you know each other or not?" ”
"Oh?" Xu Qingyu raised his eyebrows, and became very interested in the person in front of him, and said with a smile, "Everyone in the world is a friend, but who doesn't know their hearts." ”
Hearing this, the scholar raised his head and looked at Xu Qing, who had a peerless face in front of him.
"Under Han Feng."
