Chapter 5
Different from the morning birdsong in Qingyun Town, Qianyuan City woke Su Liang from his slumber with its unique selling sound, the idle inn is next to the river, and the willow trees by the river are only bare branches, slowly drifting with the morning breeze, leisurely like the long beard of the old man, the merchants under the tree have already opened, and the shop can see the figure of the guy hurriedly cleaning up, and the vendors carrying various commodities shouting while walking, which is the busyness and prosperity that cannot be felt in the town.
Su Liang went to the most prosperous teahouse in the north of the city, according to Ermao, the pillar here is not Cui Niang, who is a delicious dim sum and singing music, but a storyteller, all kinds of popular books and Yin Guo's big and small things can be at your fingertips, Su Liang has not heard a storytelling, so he wants to listen to it.
Before entering the teahouse, I heard a soft female voice accompanied by the clear sound of the pipa slowly, through the row of seats to see that on the platform directly behind the lobby, a woman sat there with a pipa in her arms, Su Liang didn't understand what she was singing, but felt that in this cold winter, it seemed to see the willow tree in March sprouting, and the branches outside the window were crawling with flowers.
"Yo, the little girl looks at the face, but it's the first time you're here? Do you think you're sitting in the lobby or upstairs? One of the five spirit coins in the lobby, send a pot of tea and the same dim sum, and send a pot of high-grade spiritual tea and four snacks for twenty spirit coins in the private room, you see? When I entered the door, a guy immediately greeted me and introduced him to Su Liang.
"Yamama, when will Mr. Storyteller take the stage?"
"A private room~, come to the girl, please come here, you come by coincidence, Cui Niang on the stage This is the last song, Mr. Storyteller will start later, you sit first, I will serve you tea."
Su Liang went upstairs, the environment in the private room was more elegant, the double spun yarn hung down as a curtain, which did not hinder the sound outside, and prevented outsiders from prying eyes, the man gave tea and snacks, "You sit slowly, if you have other instructions, just shake the bell on the table." After saying that, he retreated, and was very polite.
Su Liang tasted this high-grade spiritual tea, tasted it carefully and couldn't help frowning, a little bitter, although there was a sweet aftertaste after swallowing, he still didn't like it after all, put down the tea to taste the dim sum, nodded with satisfaction, sweet but not greasy, delicious.
At this time, there was a burst of applause outside, Mr. Storyteller finally came to the stage, the old man sat behind the table slowly, stroked his beard, patted the wood, and said: "The last book said, that Mrs. Qian went home to worship the ancestors, when the female dependents of the family went to Ji'en to worship the view, a gust of wind blew open the heavy curtain of the three girls of the Qian family, and happened to be the scholar Zhang Sheng who stayed in the view. Pray to see the beautiful woman again, and finally wait until the three girls' personal attendants go out, come forward to stop, and confide their feelings of missing, the attendant saw Zhang Sheng's dignified appearance, and looked at the love poems brilliantly, and couldn't stand his bitter pleading, so he promised to take the love poems back to the three girls, and promised to reply tomorrow, leaving Zhang Sheng to wait happily. ”
As he spoke, he opened the folding fan in his hand, took a sip of water and continued: "Today, I will continue to talk about the waiter after he returned, and it was not until the night when everyone else fell asleep that he quietly woke up the girl and told him what he had encountered during the day......"
With the storyteller's eloquent narration, Su Liang listened to it as if he was fascinated, and his mood fluctuated with the ups and downs of the plot, and suddenly the curtain in front of him was lifted, and someone sat next to him, Su Liang turned his head to look, but it was the strange person he met in the square that day.
"The girl is so Yaxing, come here alone to listen to books." Wang Shouyuan poured himself a cup of tea and looked at Su Liang with a smile, as if it was just a chance encounter and it was not him trespassing.
Su Liang looked at him a little strangely and asked, "Although I don't know much about human feelings, it's not a gentleman's act to enter the door without the permission of others, right?" ”
"Yes, it's really not a gentleman's doing, but the girl should also understand, after all, I've been waiting for the girl for a long time, and I finally saw the girl yesterday, and I was very happy, but the girl was very indifferent to me, I just wanted to win the girl's heart, and I had no choice but to do it."
Su Liang's eyes widened slightly, he didn't quite understand what he was talking about?
Su Liang gave up communicating with him, and he sat here left and right, which did not affect his listening to books.
The story of the storyteller downstairs has come to an end, "I saw that the three girls of the Qian family had broken their hearts and intestines, and their hearts were as dead as ashes, and I didn't understand why the lover was so ruthless, thinking that he had disappointed his parents and humiliated the family, and he jumped into the well in a fit of embarrassment." ”
With a "snap", the storyteller put down the shock, and the guests in the lobby immediately began to discuss.
"It's a pity that these three girls are just young and look at the wrong person, they can't see it like this, and if they die, there will be nothing."
"You don't understand, this is the new work of the Pythagorean master, the master has created a small world, all his words are based on the unique cultural setting of the small world, and the women in that world will take the chastity of their chastity very seriously, and these three young ladies and Zhang Shenghuan are lost to him, which will disgrace the family."
"Then this small world is also a little strange, I don't know how the master came up with it, such a whimsical idea, worthy of the master."
"Alas, that Zhang Sheng is really not a thing, a scholar wants to give his wife to others as a concubine for the sake of a few spirit stones, which is really hateful."
"Who's to say it isn't."
"Master Pythagorean seems to be particularly fond of writing such abusive scripts, and the last time I heard that Xue's Baochai was like this."
"Old man! Tell me about the king's city! ”
"That's right! It's time to speak! ”
Hearing this, the old man put down his hand to drink tea, pondered slightly, and said: "Speaking of a really new thing, we all know that our previous city lord came from the Wang family of Wangcheng, last October, Wang Chenggong, the head of the Wang family, was suddenly arrested and imprisoned, and the people were panicked, but just two days ago, Chenggong was released, and after being released, the people who fell into the well of the Wang family in these two months have been liquidated, especially the Xie family, the Xie family master knows, right?" Although he is a child of a family, he is not an official in the royal court, he is in charge of nearly half of the chamber of commerce in Yin State, and Xie Shangjun, who is personally recognized by the king, is also with Chenggong's young daughter Xi and childhood sweethearts. It's a pity that the sky is jealous, Mrs. Xihe died in childbirth and left only a daughter, and the head of the Xie family has never remarried a wife, and has endured for fifteen years, and when the Xie girl is an adult, she finally dies. But the second room of the Xie family coveted the family property left by the head of the Xie family, and took advantage of the chaos of the Wang family, so he imprisoned the Xie girl and forced her to hand over the seal of the head of the family. The succession ceremony of the Xie family's second room was originally prepared, and when he heard that Chenggong was released from prison, he was so frightened that he escaped from the royal city overnight, but he was still arrested and waited for Miss Xie to come back and deal with it. ”
"It's strange that this big family has such shameless people!"
"I heard that the Xie family started as a businessman, thanks to Xie Ling three hundred years ago, he was born three hundred years ago, he learned to be rich and rich at the age of fifteen, full of economy, and followed us to drive the king all the way, with the work of the dragon, this became the family of the royal city, but unfortunately the descendants of the clan did not have outstanding people, there was already a trend of decadence, until there was a Xie Shangjun, it got better, but there are always short-sighted people in the Nuo big clan, and it is a great luck to stay until now."
"But Chenggong has always been for the country and the people, and his prestige is extremely high, why was he arrested?"
"I have a relative in Wangcheng, and I heard that on the day Chenggong was arrested, the streets were full of cavalry, and they were banned for several days, and when the sun set, they had to hurry home and close the windows."
"That's horrible."
"Who said it wasn't, alas, fortunately, it's all over, and now that Chenggong has been released from prison, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"Fortunately, it didn't affect our Qianyuan City, and in three days it will be the day when the young city lord chooses his wife, and I don't know which girl the young city lord will choose."
"Yun family, after all, the young city lord has a very good relationship with the Yun family's Erlang Jun, and the second girl of the Yun family is also of the right age and appearance."
"That's not necessarily, maybe it's the Yin Yin girl from Cuiliufang in the south of the city, I have never seen a more beautiful girl than her in this hidden abyss city."
Listening to the following topics getting farther and farther, and even touching himself, Wang Shouyuan coughed uncomfortably, "I have also drunk this tea and listened to the book, why don't I take the girl to the south of the city for a walk?" ”
"Go see the Yin Yin girl in Cuiliufang?" Su Liang proposed, "I also want to see the most beautiful girl in Qianyuan City." ”
"Huh? Ahem, no, I ...... Forget it, it's all up to you. ”
So the two got up, Wang Shouyuan tried his best to cover his face with a fan, avoided the crowd and walked out of the teahouse, took a deep breath, and took Su Liang straight to the south of the city.
I have to say that this young city lord is really a good playmate, he took Su Liang to see the Yin Yin girl in Cuiliufang, bought the latest Liuxian skirt under the recommendation of the Yin Yin girl, tasted the signature dish of Babao Lou, Babao Zhen Fish, and bought the new hairpin of Yuan Yin Lou, so that Su Liang, who had never seen such a beautiful thing, was very happy, the only bad thing was that he had to rush to pay with Su Liang, but where could Su Liang get used to him, only if he paid the money was his own, otherwise he would be taken away, these are what Su Liang likes, so he naturally has to pay for himself, Ignoring the surprised eyes of the guys in the store, Su Liang happily paid the money and put the things into the jade ring when he left the store.
Looking at the clothes that disappeared with a wave of Su Liang's hand, Wang Shouyuan's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and he was shocked to think that the Chenggu Sect already had such great ability?! And why is it so rich? Didn't you say that you don't have much financial resources after leaving Daoqi Academy? But looking at the defenseless Su Liang, he silently comforted himself that it didn't matter, after a day, he already knew that this girl had no scheming, as long as she was stable, she would definitely succeed.
"Motoro! You are so ruthless! I've come thousands of miles to look for you, but you're so close to other girls! Where have you left me? ”
A cry of grief and indignation rushed straight at Wang Shouyuan, followed by a slap, and I saw a plainly dressed woman looking at herself heartbroken. Wang Shouyuan looked at the other party's mature face, feeling the spiritual power in her body, and then looked at Su Liang next to her, feeling the majestic spiritual power in her body, and suddenly became confused, this is ...... What's going on??!!
