Liangzhou Ci Chapter 4 Short Chronicles
There are three distinguished guests visiting the Zhufu Mansion on South Yuzhu Street in Yanguan Town today, a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman with a young man who has just shed his childishness, and an old woman who follows respectfully with low eyebrows and lowered eyes.
Although he was young, the young man who had gradually begun to show a clean and handsome style on his face had been sitting on the main seat of the Zhu family since he entered the main hall of the Zhu family's mansion, that is, regardless of the obvious shaking of the master's face, he was not interested in taking a look at the dazzling array of carved antiques, literati calligraphy and paintings in the main hall of the Zhu Mansion.
The beautiful woman who came with him was probably a little unable to see her precious son's rude behavior, and softly opened her mouth to persuade her, but the young man only said two words, and his demeanor still did not have any intention of giving the master of the mansion a little face, but turned his head and casually lifted the warm jade teacup that had been served on the table and began to taste the tea.
The rich lady couldn't, so she had no choice but to turn around and look at the head of the Zhu family who was the master of the family who entertained them, and said a little apologetically: "The head of the Zhu family, please forgive me, this little guy in my family has been spoiled by me and his father since he was a child, and I don't know how much etiquette is offended, and I also ask the head of the Zhu family, Haihan, to be one." β
The current head of the Zhu family is named Zhu Jiantang, who is the largest landlord in Yanguan Town of this generation, and operates the acres of land around the town and lives by collecting rent.
According to legend, the ancestor of the Zhu family was one of the first foreigners to settle in Yanguan Town, and the Salt Administration was still operating the official salt business in that year, and the ancestor of the Zhu family used a bag of gold ingots to carry all the way to the salt official of the Salt Bureau, that is, the ancestor of the first generation of the Li family in the town settled in Yanguan Town, and bought all the acres of land within a radius around the town except for the official salt fields.
When the old drunkard was drunk once before his death, the young Chu Yuanxiao once heard him say that the ancestor of the Zhu family was the most proficient in trading among the ancestors of many generations after this Yanguan Town became a gathering place for visitors from all over the world, and there was not even one of them, but it was a pity that he was wise as an ancestor, but the descendants of the descendants were not angry, and they were all losers!
The young man still remembered the mocking look on the old drunkard's face when he said the last words, but he didn't explain in detail why he said that the descendants of the Zhu family were all losers, but he just took another sip of wine and staggered to sleep.
When I was a young man, I was still very young, and I didn't pay much attention to the drunken words of the old drunkard, and when I thought about it often, I only felt that after all, the family had a big business, and no matter how bad he was, he was much richer and more powerful than him, a poor and homeless orphan.
However, according to the arrangement of Lao Liangtou chatting with him, the current Zhu family is not as good as before to Zhu Jiantang's generation, ranking last among the four surnames in Yanguan Town, and still after the Li family, whose ancestors have been acting for generations but have always been low-key, it is indeed much worse than the legendary first high gate in Yanguan Town.
Zhu Zhen, the little overlord of the Zhu family, is probably the only seedling under the knees of the head of the family since he was a child, and he is the son of the head of the Zhu family, so he has always been very favored, and he has developed a ruthless personality that is not afraid of heaven and earth.
According to his own words, there are only three people who can convince him the most in the entire Yanguan Town, one is his sturdy mother who is far from the word "beauty" and is privately called "mother worm" by outsiders, but can firmly hold the position of the Zhu family's mother and aunt unwaveringly.
The other is Mr. Cui, the teacher in charge of teaching the young people in the town who are not of a certain age. The little fat man Zhu Zhen is a master who has always refused to accept the heavens and the earth, but since he entered the town and saw the gentle and elegant teacher Mr. Cui, he was unexpectedly very envious, and always liked to say "Mr. Cui is knowledgeable, just like my mother can sit firmly as a housewife, and he is also a person who eats by his ability, Lao Tzu is convinced!" β
And the last one is Liu Qingqiu, the eldest lady of the Liu family.
Zhu Zhen has always been confused and is not a reading character at all, half of the reason why he can enter the township school to study in a down-to-earth manner is because of the very learned Mr. Cui in the township school, and the other half is because when he first entered the school a long time ago, he first saw the quiet girl Liu Qingqiu who was sitting behind the desk and quietly reading books, and after many inquiries, he learned that she was the eldest lady of the Liu family, and Liu Qinghui, who was as famous as him but was not looked down upon by him, was a brother and sister.
Today, because the house is going to have a distinguished guest, Zhu Zhen's father sent someone to the township school early in the morning to take a day off for his baby son and Mr. Cui, the teacher of the school, so the little fat man Zhu Zhen failed to go to the township school, but reluctantly stayed at home and followed his father and mother to greet the guests.
The little overlord Zhu Zhen was already a little unhappy about not being able to go to the village school, and when he saw that this so-called "distinguished guest" was such a virtuous person, he was even more unhappy, and he was ready to scold people with a straight face.
Just before he could make a move, his strong arm was suddenly grabbed by another fat hand, and Zhu Zhen's mother-in-law first glared at her unconscious son, and then glanced apologetically at the main seat, with a hint of unconcealed fear behind the apologetic look in her eyes.
The young man, who was still swaggering and sitting on the main seat, didn't seem to be aware of this, and still sat there slowly studying the warm jade teacup, as for the tea in that cup, which was made with the best tea leaves in the Zhu family's mansion, he just sniffed it and lost interest in taking a sip.
The sturdy woman didn't seem to react when she looked at the little man, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the old woman who had been standing beside the little man's chair after entering the door with the rich mother and son lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and was silent at this time, raised her eyelids slightly, and glanced at the pair of sturdy mother and son lightly.
The Zhu family's mother trembled violently in a visible posture, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from her forehead, she pulled her son behind her, and squeezed out a smile that could be called "flattery" on her fat face, and smiled at the old woman as if begging for mercy.
The old woman, who had been silent, frowned slightly, and withdrew her gaze in disgust, as if she didn't want to look at the fat face full of meat again.
The middle-aged beautiful woman who was still polite to each other standing in the middle of the main hall and the head of the Zhu family, who had already begun to clasp her fists and say polite compliments, seemed to be unaware of the series of subtle changes behind her. The head of the Zhu family bowed slightly, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't have to be so polite, the three distinguished guests are all immortal nobles who have come out of the dust and entered the clouds, not comparable to ordinary people in the mountains and fields such as me. β
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled, and the two of them sat down separately after a polite exchange again, but before Zhu Jiantang, the head of the Zhu family as the master, could say anything first, the teenage boy who had been sitting on the top since he entered the door had already put the delicate teacup made of warm jade on the square table beside him, raised his eyelids, and asked lazily: "Master Zhu, have the outsiders who have come to this town one after another have already done business?" β
The head of the Zhu family, who was abruptly questioned, was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at the rich lady who was sitting opposite him, but saw that she was just drinking tea with a teacup covered by cloud sleeves, and there was no surprise at the young man's question, and he had no intention of stopping him.
Seeing this, Zhu Jiantang lowered his eyes slightly, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, but the head of the Zhu family, who was also accustomed to seeing the market, did not have any superfluous expressions on his face, and turned his attention to the young man, and said: "Back to Gongzi Ke, judging from the current news, most of the immortal families are still testing and observing, and no one has really made a move to talk about business with the townspeople. β
The young man who reached out again to play with the white jade teacup on the table was noncommittal, smiled slightly, and then suddenly turned his head to stare at the little fat man sitting at the door of the main hall, and asked another question in a provocative tone: "Master Zhu, before my son came, I heard that there was a Liu family in your town, and I also heard that there was a girl of the same age as my son in his family who looked very good, do you think she is qualified to be a bed warmer for this son?" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had different faces.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was drinking tea with a teacup at this time, and the beautiful face behind the water sleeves couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing her son say this, but in the end she didn't say anything, just didn't hear it.
The head of the Zhu family, Zhu Jiantang, was shocked the moment he heard the noble son of the immortal family who came from afar suddenly say such a sentence that did not match his identity, he was not worried about the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but suddenly turned his head to look at his usual precious son......
As expected, the little fat man Zhu Zhen bounced up from the seat like a nail under his butt when he saw the brocade-clothed young man sitting in the first place with a provocative face and looked at him provocatively, and he slapped the tea table next to the chair with a slap, and the little fat man didn't care about the stinging pain in his palm, he just glared angrily at the young man of the same age, and he dared to say another word to do it.
The young man sitting at the top had nothing to do with this, but the corners of his mouth hooked up with a hint of mockery.
Almost at the same time, the old woman who had been standing silently beside the young man in brocade snorted coldly as if mocking: "Hmph! β
Zhu Zhen, the little fat man who had just jumped up from the seat, was like being struck by lightning for a moment, and his complexion was visibly suffocated to the color of pig liver with the naked eye!
The only son of the Zhu family only felt as if his shoulders were being weighed on a thousand pounds, his bones creaked, and in less than a breath, his legs went weak and slammed back into the chair behind him.
The Zhu housewife sitting on Zhu Zhen's side couldn't help but be anxious when she saw her baby bump so shaped, and she was about to jump up when she saw it, but she was dragged by her husband sitting on the other side, and she was thrown over with an extremely gloomy warning look!
The little fat man who didn't have the energy to pay attention to his parents' movements at all did not bury the title of "Little Overlord" on his head for many years in the next moment, although his face became more and more weird, and although the sweat stains on his forehead became heavier and heavier, he didn't mean to admit it at all, he still stared at the brocade-clothed young man sitting in the first place, his hands on the back of the chair were bruised, and two hideous sarcomas were also bulging on both sides of his face, and he staggered to stand up with some kind of gravity that pressed on his shoulders like a mountain. And just stood straight and straight, biting the corners of his lips and bleeding, he still preferred to die rather than sit down!
At this time, the needles in the main hall of the Zhu mansion could be heard, and only the heavy wheezing sound of the little fat man Zhu Zhen and the crunching sound of his teeth interlaced could be heard!
The rich and noble man, who was only a provocative sentence from the beginning, did not say anything during the whole process of this series, nor did he look at the little fat man, but just fiddled with the white jade teacup on the table with great interest.
It wasn't until the little fat man stood up against the gravity of the thousand catties of gravity put down by the grandmother beside him and stood up for a few more breaths, and still had no intention of falling, that the brocade-clothed young man slowly picked up the white jade teacup and waved his other hand casually.
The little fat man Zhu Zhen was relieved at that moment, and his whole body was out of strength, so that he couldn't help but stumble.
The housemother of the Zhu family, who had been dragged by death, also broke free from her husband's control at the same moment, hurriedly jumped over, and grabbed her habitually big baby son, and her fat body could not see a trace of sluggishness and burdensomeness at this moment.
The brocade-clothed boy who was sitting in the first place looked at the little fat man who was being helped to pant for breath with a smile on his face, and wrote lightly: "Zhu Zhen, right? Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ke Yuzhen, and I come from an immortal sect called Shuixiu Lake. β
Without waiting for the little fat man who hadn't even his breath to speak, the brocade-clothed young man who was sitting in the first place smiled again and said: "I thought you wouldn't even be able to hold the first level, but I didn't expect that your more than 100 catties of fat are not white, your qualifications are not bad, and you are a little backbone, so today my son is kind enough to teach you an extra truth." β
Ke Yuzhen held the warm jade teacup in his hand in mid-air, and then lightly handed, the jade cup fell from the air suddenly, smashed on the ground with a crisp sound, and fell apart.
The rich young man glanced lightly at the fine jade that was broken by him, and then moved his gaze back to the ugly little fat man, and said with a smile: "Look, your Zhu family regards it as a treasure, and only the distinguished guests among the distinguished guests are willing to take out the Qingyun Cup that serves tea, but such a precious set of warm jade jade was lost by me, and a set of priceless tea sets has become a broken product, do you want to ask your father if he dares to trouble me?" β
Having said that, the young man who spoke didn't bother to look at the head of the Zhu family, who was a little nervous and slightly gloomy, and just continued to laugh at Mimi and look at the little fat man.
"The outside world is much, much bigger than your little Yanguan Town, do you think it's great to be a 'little overlord' in a poor rural place where birds don't? In fact, in my eyes, you are not even qualified to be an ant. Of course, I may not be a good ant in the eyes of some people, but at least at this moment you are the one standing in the low place. β
Ke Yuzhen gently stretched out two fingers and shook them in the air, and said, "So how can you not be bullied in the middle of the rivers and lakes where there are people outside this kind of person?" In fact, there are only two ways to summarize the countless generations of Jianghu people in the end, one is that you are better than everyone, and the other is that you are richer than everyone else, and the person with a big fist or can use money to smash a big fist is the only way out for all Jianghu people! β
"If you have the honor of being a disciple of my Shuixiu Lake as your family master father wishes, I hope you can remember what I taught you today."
After the young man in brocade finished saying this long paragraph, he slightly turned his head to look at the head of the Zhu family who had returned to a warm complexion, and asked with a smile: "Does the master of the Zhu family think that this truth that this son taught your son today is worth a set of Qingyun cups?" β
ββ
Chu Lantern Festival is going to go to the inn in the town, which is located in the westernmost part of the town, sitting north and facing south, just opposite to the Chu family's courtyard facing north at the easternmost entrance of the town.
The name of the inn is Yunhaijian, both can hit the tip, can also live in the store, is the only one in the town to do the business of outsiders, the faΓ§ade of the street is a three-story wooden building, there is a backyard behind, there are a few bungalows built in it, the firewood room, the stove room are in it, there is a well in the courtyard, there are stables and thatched houses in the two corners farthest from the wooden building in the front yard, all kinds of configurations are readily available.
The shopkeeper surnamed Fan in the sea of clouds is an old man with a rich personality and a kind face, who values the official road outside the inn and does business to passers-by.
The boy wants to go to the inn to see if there is any business to do recently? For example, if you go to catch a few fish or catch a few game, or if you really can't do it, you can go to the mountains to chop a bundle of firewood and send it to the backyard of the inn, and you can exchange it for a few copper plates of varying numbers.
Eating can rely on mountains and rivers, but the way to get money can only be used in this way of dealing with people, fortunately, the old shopkeeper Fan in the sea of clouds is a kind person, and he is also one of the few people in the town who does not believe the rumors of the Tiansha Lone Star.
As long as the boy does not swagger and does not affect the business of the inn, the shopkeeper Fan is still very willing to do business with the young man, after all, this lonely and poor young man has always been sincere, and the things sent to the inn are always good and cheap, and they are very profitable.
On the way to the inn, the boy must pass through the Wufang Pavilion in the center of the town.
Yanguan Town was originally a salt pan for drying salt, so the town is boxy, and the courtyards of less than 400 households in the town are all based on the salt pans of the original salt pans, and the vertical and horizontal streets transformed from the ridges of the salt pans are divided into seven in the north-south direction and the east-west direction, and they are all centered on the main street in the middle position.
At the intersection of the two main streets, there is a large open space, and in the middle of it is a pavilion called the "Wufang Pavilion".
As the name suggests, the five-square pavilion is the shape of the five pillars on the five corners and five sides, the pavilion mouth is open to the east, and the pillars on the left and right sides are hung with a vertical plaque of gold characters on the ink bottom, which together is a pair of victories.
Shanglian said: "Qiankun Yin and Yang, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, and the four elephants gather";
The next link is: "Heaven and earth are infinite, the five elements are derived from a hundred things, and the Tao is in all directions."
Under the eaves above the pavilion entrance, there is a plaque with the same gold characters on the ink background, which is a couplet banner, and the content is four words: "Five Directions Reveal the Truth".
Some people say that the reason why Wufang Pavilion is called this name is because of the word "Wufang" on the banner at the entrance of the pavilion, and some people say that it is because the people of Yanguan Town are gathered from the five directions.
In the northeast corner of this vast intersection, there is a storyteller who runs a bookstore and sells books at the door, and from time to time he knocks on the piece of wood in his hand and says a passage of books.
Young Chu Yuanxiao grew up, if he was not hungry and had spare time, he would occasionally go to Yanguan Town to listen to the storyteller surnamed Lu.
Not treated by the neighbors, he squatted alone at the outskirts of the crowd listening to the book, listening to the storyteller with relish, never disturbing anyone and never taking the initiative to go up to dislike people, just listening from a distance, almost one step before the end of the scene, he left early, so as not to be pointed at by others, and he didn't listen to the good or bad words.
It was also in the process of listening to the book that he happened to hear Mr. Lu mention, saying that according to the rules of the world, pavilions like Wufang Pavilion are mostly four, six or eight sides, and it is rare to hear of who has a pavilion The corner of the pavilion is cultivated into a singular number, so the reason why the pavilion in front of him is cultivated like this, it is that some immortals pay attention to the inclusion of it......
As for what this emphasis is, the storyteller didn't finish it as if he was deliberately selling it.
This seems to be the consistent path of the storyteller who mainly makes money by selling books, probably to win over customers, so this Mr. Lu begins to dig holes and sell the guanzi whenever he talks about the wonderful and critical places, and never finishes the second half......
If you want to know what's next, you'll have to pay for the books from his bookstall and read them yourself.
Chu Yuanxiao's family was poor since he was a child, and he couldn't even afford a pair of shoes, let alone the tuition fees to study in the township school, so naturally he wouldn't spend that unjust money to buy a book that he couldn't understand.
So he didn't know why the Wufang Pavilion didn't comply with the system? What kind of immortals are exquisite?
β¦β¦
When passing by the Wufang Pavilion, the young man had just passed by the storyteller's bookshelf, and the storyteller surnamed Lu smiled and nodded to him as a greeting.
The young man hurriedly nodded and returned the salute.
As a result, before he finished saying hello and walked out a few steps, he met a young man surnamed Zhao, who was rich and noble.
The full name of this young man of the Zhao family is Zhao Jicheng, and his father Zhao Yu is the richest and most top-notch of the richest second-class rich people in the town, except for the heads of the four surnames of Liu, Zhu, Chen and Li.
It's a pity that the Zhao family has not been around for a long time, that is, in Zhao Jicheng's father's generation, it can be regarded as a serious way out of the ranks of mud legs, so although Zhao Jicheng is a guy who has brocade clothes and jade food, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but in the eyes of a group of rich and noble sons such as Liu Qinghui, the sister-in-law of the Liu family, and Zhu Zhen, the sister-in-law of the Zhu family, their Zhao family can only be regarded as an upstart, and he Zhao Jicheng is also a "poor man who can't get rid of the mud phase", and he is not welcomed even more than Chu Yuanxiao, a pure mud leg with the name of a Tiansha Lone Star.
After all, the poor boy's reputation for being tough and not paying for his life is a bit bluffing, but he, Zhao Jicheng, can only stand and be bullied!
Chu Yuanxiao had a little headache when he saw that Zhao Jiazi deliberately blocked his way, and he didn't plan to let go of his past easily, he didn't really understand what this Zhao Jicheng always loved to get along with, since he was a child.
He didn't seem to be afraid of his name...... If you have nothing to do, you always love to find his bad luck when you meet him on the road!
Sometimes, when a poor boy is idle, he will wonder where he has offended this peer?
But after thinking about it, I only thought that one thing was a reason, and it wasn't my intention, it could only be regarded as a coincidence that he made a fool of himself, but that was already six or seven years ago, and if it weren't for the fact that the teenager's memory has always been very good, he would never have remembered it for a long time.
When the old drunkard had just passed away, the big family in the town, the Liu family, released a message that they were going to spend money to collect good whetstones and sell them in Liangzhou City, and anyone in the town who had such a stone could take it to the side door of the backyard of the Liu family's mansion to exchange for money.
This business is not very popular with people who have crafts and business in the town, but at that time, the poor young man who was trying to eat a hard meal was very willing to go out of the west entrance of the town every day and go to a stone cliff called "Golden Pillar" to move granite.
At first, he couldn't tell what kind of stone was considered "good", so he just looked at the well-looking stones and moved them back, but later he moved a lot before he could roughly see the doorway, and knew about what kind of stone was easy to see.
At that time, the young man was young and had short legs, and he couldn't move two pieces per trip, and he couldn't go back and forth twice a day, but the poor boy was happy to move stones, after all, if the fat housekeeper of the Liu family could look at a stone he moved, he could immediately change to a real copper plate in his hand!
This is a good deal for a poor boy who can only go up the mountain to collect firewood or go to the Xuannu Lake in the north of the town to fish but can't exchange a few dollars!
It's just that the Liu family's business of collecting stones has only been done for a few months, which makes it a pity for the young man for a long time.
It was at that time that a young man carried a square stone pier that was finally picked out from Qingshui Street, where the main entrance of the Liu family's mansion was located, and happened to meet the little young master of the Liu family, Liu Qinghui, and the little young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhen, with a group of domestic servants, squeezed Zhao Jicheng, who was still a child at that time, in the corner, with ugly words and pointing.
Seeing the poor young man who came over with a stone, the two rich young masters scolded secretly, and then left with someone, and the children of the Zhao family, who were squeezed in the corner at a loss at that time, were still young, with a pair of red eyes and hands tightly clutching the corners of their clothes, without saying a word, it was indeed quite pitiful to look at it from a distance.
He also glanced at Chu Yuanxiao, who was still holding the stone with a confused expression, and then ran away.
That is, from that time on, when this Zhao Jicheng met his peers again, he always didn't have a good face, and he couldn't speak well, and it has been going on for many years until now.
β¦β¦
At this moment, Zhao Jichengcai, who was blocking Chu Yuanxiao's way by the Wufang Pavilion, didn't care what the poor mud legs in front of him were thinking, he just looked at him with his arms folded on his chest for a long time, and said sarcastically: "Whose life are you going to take from you, surnamed Chu?" Our Yanguan town is a big place, but we can't afford such a disaster from you! β
The poor boy was a little helpless, and the first sentence he said every time he met was the same sentence, and he didn't bother to refute it.
Zhao Jicheng saw the young man's expression in his eyes, it was the same boring, and he never had any interesting reactions, but he didn't mean to give up, and continued to sneer: "I heard that a person with a destiny like you is suitable to go to the Chu Pavilion Qinglou Goolan Fire Kang to be a big teapot, not to mention the hard life, maybe there is a chance to feast your eyes, right?" β
Speaking of which, Zhao Jiazi, who was not a little bit of a mouth, smiled and said: "I guess that with your reputation, don't think about being able to ask for a daughter-in-law to live in your life, go to Liangzhou City to be a big teapot, maybe you can have the opportunity to find an old woman who can't sell money to live with, you don't have to spend money to enjoy people, kill two birds with one stone!" β
Zhao Jicheng looked at the young man's expression, and suddenly smiled as if he had suddenly realized: "Oh yes, do you see that the four words of Chu Pavilion Qinglou are very related to you?" Isn't it very lined? β
Chu Yuanxiao originally just listened quietly, and didn't intend to talk back, he always felt that this Zhao family was very boring, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the children who were used to growing up in the family might be so naΓ―ve?
But when Zhao Jicheng said the last sentence, the poor young man's face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes were cold, he took two steps forward and grabbed the collar surnamed Zhao, and said coldly: "Zhao Jicheng, I don't want to have a conflict with you because I think more is better than less, I admit that I have always lived a very difficult and careful life, and I am also afraid of hindering others, afraid of being disliked, afraid of others pointing at me in front of me, there are many reasons to be afraid...... But that doesn't mean you can make such jokes about my family's last name! β
He clenched his fist on the opposite collar and tightened again, his tone was very hard, but his voice was deliberately lowered, only the two of them could hear, "You never want others to mention your father's lameness, and you don't want others to say that your mother is stupid, I don't know this!" No matter how you find my stubble, I have never returned the mouth, let you be happy! But what is it that makes you think that I won't fight back if you say such a thing? I don't know if I'm a tough person, but I can guarantee that if you start fighting, you won't even have a chance to lie on the ground and find teeth, if you don't believe it, you can try! β
Zhao Jiazi, who was suddenly grabbed by the collar, didn't know if it was because he was out of breath or because of something else, his face turned red in an instant, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, so he could only tear Chu Yuanxiao's hand off his collar with both hands.
It's a pity that he didn't have enough strength to break the poor boy who went up the mountain and down the river to carry stones and firewood since he was a child, and in the end he still worked hard for half a day, which was useless.
Chu Yuanxiao looked at his flushed face and his eyes that gradually began to be a little flustered, and suddenly felt very bored, slowed down the strength of his hand slightly, and warned in a low voice: "I don't know why you always love to get along with me, but I warn you not to make fun of my family in the future, although they are gone, I am not dead yet!" β
After that, the poor young man pushed Zhao Jicheng aside, and then passed in front of him with a cold face and walked towards the sea of clouds in the west of the town.
Zhao Jiazi, who was pushed to the side of the road, watched the mud-legged man walk away step by step, and his face turned from red to blue little by little, and then from green to black......
After a while, he took a deep breath to calm his pounding mind, but when he turned his head, he happened to see the storyteller sitting on a bamboo chair behind the bookstall and holding a delicate teapot and drinking tea, looking at him with great interest!
Zhao Jialang's face became ugly at this moment, he glared at the storyteller viciously, and then he couldn't say a word, and turned around and ran away.
Behind the bookshelf, the storyteller surnamed Lu glanced at the embarrassed young man of the Zhao family, and then at the child surnamed Chu, who had walked away and could barely see his back, smiled slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Who said that Cangqiao actually knows etiquette?" And who said that people are poor and short-minded? β
