Chapter 174: White Snake
"But I want to say goodbye to Master first." Li Yiqing stretched out his finger and pointed his chin and said, "Look at the situation over there." β
In a small wine shop in the southeast of the city, which opened very early, Li Yiqing shook his sword.
As soon as Li Weiru walked in, he looked her up and down and snorted.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing at some people's hearts are full of spring." Li Weiru threw the sword on the table, sat down and picked up a glass of sake and said leisurely, "It's like a flower." β
"Hmph." Li Yiqing retracted his swaying body, "I'm here to tell you another good thing." β
"Oh? What could be more beautiful than that? β
"Oops!" Li Yiqing glared, "Don't you listen to the new good things, if you don't listen to me, I'll leave." β
The old man smiled: "Look, it's urgent." I said at the time, you must not have found the right way, you rushed too hard, and good things have turned into bad things to tell me, how did it happen later? β
"I don't say it!"
Li Weiru sighed lightly, suddenly raised her breath, raised her hand and sang tactfully: "After all, the word "good luck and misfortune for men" is fame; Sweet words are so nice. Who knew it was all that false kindnessβ"
"Li Weiru!"
The old man laughed.
However, the girl was quickly stunned and reacted to the old man's worries. She leaned over, gently pressed her forehead against the old man's thin shoulder, and said, "You don't have to worry, my new good thing is this." β
"Huh?"
"The Ming Sword Master said that I could enter the Shenjing Sword Cultivation Academy, and wrote a letter of recommendation for me."
β.β
"In this way, he has his fame, and I also have my future, and I am walking all the way."
β.β The gloom in Li Weiru's eyes really faded, and she showed a sincere surprise, but she frowned and sighed deliberately, "Pity me for being old bones, but I don't have a confidant by my side when I am dying."
"Master!" These words were the most unfunny thing in the girl's heart, her eyes were red, and she hugged the old man deeply from the side.
Li Weiru hurriedly took her hand: "Just kidding, knowing that you have a career in Shenjing makes me much happier than nesting next to an old man like me." β
Li Yiqing couldn't change his mood for a while, and still buried his head in his neck.
"Anything else? I'm kind of a no-brainer. Li Weiru changed the topic and smiled.
"Are you busy here?"
"What's busy, I think it's a different place to drink and sleep." Li Weiru smiled, "What about you?" β
"The sword master and . . . Pei Ye wants to go to Xiangzhou, and I want to go with them. β
"Go." Li Weiru blinked, "They are all good people, it's not good to go with them." β
"I'm worried that Cui Yu is busy here."
"Oh?" Li Weiru was at a loss, "Has Miss Li been in charge of sect affairs these days?" β
"Master!"
"Hahaha." The old man patted her and smiled, "Go ahead, you want to Lao Cuiyu, when you get tired in the future!" β
ββ
Out of the south gate of Bowang City, it is no longer a mountain and forest path, but a flat area, and the wide Lushui is rushing in the distance.
Pei Ye led a dark tall horse, carrying a sword box and a long sword, and looked up at the sky.
Going to Xiangzhou and going to Kongtong are about the same direction, but Pei Ye galloped and walked the official road, but Ming Qitian was a straight empty line, Pei Ye had not experienced the Ming plume cloud-like volley flying, and at this time, he watched Li Yiqing rise into the sky excitedly and amazingly.
The girl didn't forget to wave at him and said, "Go backβheadβsee you!" β
Pei Ye quietly watched them leave, lowered his head, and held the black cat in front of him: "Thin cat, when can you take me to fly again?" β
The black cat stretched out its paws and slapped him in the face.
Pei Ye sighed lightly, turned over and got on the horse, feeling that in addition to the fact that the horse has become better and the sword has become better, he seems to be no different from when he first came out of Fenghuai, and he is a horse and a cat, and he is alone with a book and a sword.
Yang Yan was actually going to come with him, but Pei Li chose to only bring "Avalanche Snow".
"You better deal with your Tianshan affairs." Pei Li said, "I'm going to investigate the case, not fighting, what kind of mess are you making." β
"Why can't I investigate the case?"
"You can, you Cha Bowang, when I come back, I will open your jade pendant."
"Okay."
Pei Li recalled this conversation, galloping a horse with one hand and stroking the black cat with the other.
"I'll have to start teaching you how to use the [Fire]." Lin Ying flew back, and the immortal hunter under his command suddenly said.
ββββββββ
Bowangzhou City is southern, Xiangzhou Prefecture is northern, and there are good horse straights, Pei Ye only took half a day and one night to arrive at this big city that is more majestic and broad than Bowang.
In fact, all the way south from Fenghuai, it is from the mountains and rivers to the fertile plains, and the Xincang Mountains still stretch over, but it is just a distant and tall black shadow on the plain, and the city can no longer be buried.
Of course, continuing to the south will not be a flat and thousands of miles, the whole Shaolong is actually more mountainous and watery, but in addition to the "Da Kongtong", most of the remaining mountains can be exhausted.
When Pei Ye passed through the first county seat of Xiangzhou, he found that it looked richer than Zheng Shou who passed by on his way.
However, at this time, Pei Ye was no longer the young man who didn't know where to put it when he first entered the city, he was holding things in his heart, he looked at it from afar, and judged it, and when he saw that there were fewer pavilions in the west, he went straight there.
It is said that it is the west of the city, in fact, with the size of Xiangzhou City, Pei Ye is only a small piece in the northwest corner, a river in the city surrounds here, and seven streets and nine roads are staggered into hundreds of buildings of different sizes, almost a small city. In the distance, by the river, four boats were docked, and the laborers went up and down, as if they could hear the shouting trumpets in the distance.
Lively, chaotic, and prosperous, Pei Ye walked into this place and first found an inn at the right price.
When he first entered Bowang, he looked at the moon catching building and was greedy, but he was shy; At this time, he was carrying a hundred taels, and Xiangzhou's residence should be anywhere, but Pei Li felt that it was not interesting to be alone, and he was still used to picking a cheaper place to live.
Handing over the horse to Xiao Er, Pei Ye walked into the dim hall, and the shopkeeper at the counter who lowered his head to settle accounts by the light of the window seemed to be the same as the previous one.
"Shopkeeper, stay in the store!"
Pei Ye walked to the front of the stage, and the middle-aged man with a numb face glanced up at him: "Name?" β
Pei Ye put a dark gold-like bronze medal on the stage and pushed it in front of him.
The shopkeeper was suddenly startled, and the pockmarks on his face seemed to stand for a moment, staring at it for a long time before raising his head: "Pei Pei Shaoxia, where do you live?" β
"A place word." Pei Ye smiled, the ease of use of this thing was beyond his expectations.
"Little Er-send your guests to check in!"
"Not busy." Pei Li took the room card and took back the chivalry, "I asked you about the shopkeeper, where is the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce?" β
The shopkeeper was stunned: "The guest officer asked where the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce was?" β
"Are there many Qiyun Chamber of Commerce?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "Qi Yun is our big chamber of commerce in Xiangzhou, if the young man recognizes the brand to buy and sell things, there are twenty-one 'Qiyun Towers' in the city, and the nearest one goes out to the south, and the first five-story building in the east is; if you go to the door to talk about business, you have to go east, go to the territory of the officials and nobles, and look at the 'Bixiao Pavilion'; and if you want to make a living."
He looked down at the place where Pei Ye had just released the chivalry: "Then the young man doesn't have to move his steps, the 'Seventy-Nine City' under his feet has a radius of one mile, hundreds of households and thousands of gates, and they all rely on the brand of 'Qiyun' to live!" β
Pei Ye walked out of the inn and looked at the so-called "Seventy-Nine City" from afar.
Indeed, as the shopkeeper said, because there are goods from all over the world, the bookkeepers, wrestlers, buyers and sellers gather here. With men there are women, making cakes, clothes, weaving. There are also some shady and indispensable businesses, where there is a place to settle down, and if there is a home, there must be a shop for work. This place is so lively.
Dignitaries and nobles will not come to this kind of place, and it is difficult to see scholars and scholars with a little status, this is a place where the lower classes of civilians work hard to make a living, and such blood and sweat give birth to gangs.
When he was in Bowang, Zhang Dingyun's tone seemed to be able to break his wrists with Qi Yun Firm, but Dingyun did not have such a momentum in Bowang.
Pei Ye thought that if he wanted to ask about the affairs of Xitian thirty years ago, it would be best to ask the so-called 'Bixiao Pavilion', but what kind of business could he talk to people about business?
The bronze finch in his hand may be used as an admission ticket to the "upper class", but unfortunately he does not have the ability to play in it.
At this time, it would be nice if Li Yiqing was here.
Pei Ye sighed secretly, but suddenly turned his head and heard a warm whistle and applause from the building next to him.
Then the blowing and playing and singing came out, and the little student at the door shouted loudly: "The water sleeve iron gong shines with a silver voice, and the two copper plates listen for a while!" There are only thirteen empty seats left in Miss Yi Chengxin's "White Snake Love"ββ"
When Pei Li walked by, he just glanced inside, and was grabbed by him with sharp eyes: "Little brother, what are you busy with!" Look at you, why don't you sit down and rest, listen to a play and drink tea? β
Pei Ye didn't open it, only smiled: "Isn't there only thirteen left?" I will not take your business. β
"Ehβyou're the one here." Xiao Sheng shouted, and whispered again, "Let me tell you, this is our Sun Da Qingyi's favorite protΓ©gΓ©. It's probably the last time I'll be on stage. β
Pei Ye waved his hand, but he held his wrist for the sake of the guest: "Little brother, there is an urgent matter for the time being, and I will join you in the future-I will ask you, I heard that this 'Qijiu City' is the realm of Qiyun, but I don't know who is in charge?" β
Xiao Sheng's eyes widened, but he was silent, and the enthusiasm was gone.
After a while, he said a little sullenly: "Erli Qijiu City, the north side is looking for the eldest grandson to take care of things, the south is looking for Xu Ergongzi, and the east side is to see the face of the Di gang leader. β
Pei Li nodded and wrote: "Thank you, I'm new here, but I don't know if I can point to a place." β
"The steward of the eldest grandson is generally at the dock; If you want to find Kou Ye, you have to go forward, and the most majestic and beautiful building is; As for Xu Gongzi and Di Gang Master," Xiao Sheng glanced at him sullenly and pointed in, "Now they are in the courtyard." β
β.β Pei Ye stretched out his hand and took out three copper plates, "Two play money, one thanks." β
Xiao Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Guest officer, please come in!" β
Asari shouted, "A new guest! Tea-"
As soon as I entered the door, I found that the inside was much more spacious than I expected.
When looking at it from the outside, Pei Ye knew that it was not high, but it was only the second floor, but after coming in, he was surprised to realize that it occupied a wide area, tables, chairs, tea, and some cheap snacks, it was almost everything, and there were two or three hundred people sitting loosely - to tell the truth, the two copper plates were not crowded and sat on the ground, Pei Ye was really worried about the level of the play.
The people who listened to the play were all the people working around them, gray-brown linen shirts, women and elders more than men, and many of them had half-grown children under their knees. Looking up, there are only two people sitting on the huge second floor.
The wide table and large chairs sat side by side, and there were more than a dozen sturdy men behind them, and because of this pedestrian, the voices of the audience were all lowered by one level.
There are two people in front of the table, one is dressed in brocade, his body is thin and long, his facial features are handsome, but he is so thin that his cheekbones protrude, and his whole face tends to be fierce, and he has a thin scar from cheek to chin, he is dressed as a merry man, but his temperament is like a prison prisoner, and a pair of slender and sharp hands are holding a long fan and shaking gently.
The other man, who was in his thirties, was not prominent, leaned silently on his seat, his figure hidden in the big sword, and a pitch-black hilt peeked out of the mouth, and was gently pressed by three fingers.
Both of them watched the stage quietly, but it didn't look like they were listening to the play, but waiting for something.
Pei Ye sat down, looked upstairs, and knew that these were the two people Xiao Sheng said, and if he wanted to take this road to trace the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce, he could start from the two of them.
But Pei Ye did not rush forward.
After all, he is a newcomer, and he is alone at this time, and things are hidden in the fog. It's like opening a piece of jade, it is better to be slower and thinner, and to make a few more bends than to make a mistake.
He was thinking like this, but he suddenly heard a clear female voice next to him say seriously: "There is a lot of news here, and there are often some things that cannot be seen, so you start here; I went to Bixiao Pavilion and asked their shopkeeper about it. In this way, you and I can force things out of the water with one inside and one outside, one up and one up, one movement and one still, and with each other's communication and support. β
Pei Ye twisted his neck, already stunned.
The girl Tsing Yi was a single sword, her shirt outlined a soft figure, and she smiled and said: "I just want to say a few more words to the Ming Sword Master, how can I rest assured that you can do such a dangerous thing by yourself." β
β.β Pei Ye couldn't help but laugh and snorted, "You're really troublesome." β
Li Yiqing's soft boots stepped forward, squeezed beside him and sat down.
"What are you doing, don't sit down, aren't you going to Bixiao Pavilion?"
"Let's listen to the play for a while, I haven't listened to the play together." Li Yiqing put her hands on her knees and looked at the field, interrupting Pei Li's widening eyes, "She sings so well." β
Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, and only then did he take a serious look for the first time.
Just as the stone bricks under the stage are paved, the tables and chairs are neat, and the decoration of this stage is also exquisite and chic, according to the standards in the east theater garden, although the materials are inevitably cheap, but try to remedy it with human effort, without the slightest perfunctory.
An excessively young Kun Jiao is dancing on the stage, with a pale hairpin, a beautiful appearance, his voice is as clear as water, and his long air turns seven or eight times, and he is still amazingly stable.
Pei Li has rarely heard of dramas, and he has indeed never heard such a voice.
She neither watched the audience under the stage, nor did she care about the faucet upstairs, and a clear voice came out, and she seemed a little cold in this hustle and bustle: "Xianque Yunhan doesn't need to be said, and he was born to plant fairy grass."
Li Yiqing listened quietly for a while, and then turned his head to a player and asked, "This big brother, this play is so fresh, I don't know what to sing?" β
She was good-looking, kind and polite, and people were happy to tell her, but she started with a sigh.
"This "White Snake Love" is really only available in our 79 Theater, and until now, only Miss Yi Chengxin sings well, but unfortunately she is about to marry far away. It's to say, there is a white snake who serves the fairy grass under the fairy seat, and the girl falls in love with a painter in the world, but because of the different ways of life and death, the end is sad and touching, and the iron heart is also like tears. β
Li Weiru's lyrics are excerpts from "Dream of Spring Boudoirs".
Thank you to the three alliance leaders who Boss Xiuji rewarded again! Thanks to the leader of the alliance rewarded by the drunken boss Weng! Thank you for the spring breeze ~ the leader of the alliance rewarded by the boss!
Then thanks to the hard-working operation officer, he worked hard for a month to help organize a Shangmeng activity, which probably lasted until the end of the year, which means that in order to promote the character to a star, the boss of the Shangmeng can get some gifts and rebates, etc., which can be moved to the book friend circle or book friend group.
So the leader boss of the alliance who took this event, let's not add more (I still owe thirty-three.)
Of course, if the boss doesn't want to go to the event, I will continue to keep accounts.
Finally, thank you all for your support! Remind everyone to consume rationally!
