"Chapter 33: The Wind and Rain Are Coming"
Downstairs!
Ji Mingyuan and Long Yao sat opposite each other, Ji Mingyuan called the shopkeeper, and Long Yao hurriedly asked, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Grab a portion of your signature dishes! Ji Mingyuan didn't say much, he was also hungry.
"Okay!" said the shopkeeper with a smile.
In a short time, there was a large pile of food on the table.
Roast duck, roast goose, flower chicken, spicy pork knuckle, braised purple beef, steamed green lingfish, boiled white feather luan, boiled blood-patterned shrimp in secret sauce......
A whole table is full, the fragrance is wafting, Long Yao's big eyes are like stars in the sky, and the stars are brilliant!
"Let's eat!" Ji Mingyuan smiled.
"Hmm!" Long Yao directly grabbed a big goose and gnawed it.
Ji Mingyuan did not lose his temper. Sit upright, hold the bowl in your left hand and chopsticks in your right hand, eat a mouthful of rice to fill your stomach, then pick up the vegetables, chew and swallow slowly.
"Little white ball, give it to you!" Long Yao was also angry, and took a big chicken leg and broke it for the little white rabbit to eat.
"Little white ball?" Ji Mingyuan wondered.
"I gave it a name, look how white it is!" Long Yao said with a grin, as if to show off his cleverness.
Ji Mingyuan smiled and said, "It's also appropriate!"
The bunny is fluffy, smooth, supple, white and pure, spotlessly clean and free of variegation. A pair of big red eyes like red agate are round and bright, small like a hairball.
"Hey...... Why don't you eat it?" Long Yao directly took a big chicken leg and threw it into the mouth of the little white ball, but found that it refused to eat it with a disgusted face.
"Because it's vegetarian!" Ji Mingyuan said helplessly, does this stupid girl really don't know or if she doesn't know?
"I don't know how to enjoy it, the chicken legs are fragrant, I won't give it to you!" Long Yao snorted.
Ji Mingyuan shook her head helplessly, this girl is eccentric, sometimes she is very witty, and sometimes she is stupid, which makes people helpless, so she is quite obedient.
Ji Mingyuan continued to eat.
Everyone's eyes were attracted in the back.
Ji Mingyuan behaved like a gentleman, sat upright, ate in small bites, was calm and speechless, and couldn't even understand the sound of him chewing food.
And Long Yao was gobbling up like a wolf, her clothes were too long and she rolled them up, her white little hands stretched out from her side to Ji Mingyuan's side to get food, she didn't want chopsticks, her little hands were full of meat, and her pink and tender mouth was greasy, but it was not ugly, but the food was a little exaggerated.
The two are in stark contrast!
"I guess she'll have a few more ducks!"
"How is that possible? If you want me to say, a few more steamed buns won't be enough for her to eat!"
"I'll bet ten copper plates, and she'll order food later!"
"I'll bet twenty!"
Onlookers even read it.
"Xiao Er, let's call the flower chicken again!" Long Yao stretched out his little hand and raised it high and shouted.
"Okay!" the shopkeeper hurriedly ran to the back kitchen to get it!
After a while, the shopkeeper brought another chicken called Hua Chicken and handed it to Long Yao!
The shopkeeper only sweated, turned around and muttered, "Whoever marries is unlucky, who can afford this!"
He had already run back and forth several times, and his legs were weak, and Long Yao hadn't finished eating.
Ji Mingyuan's hearing was different from ordinary people, and he looked at it indifferently.
The shopkeeper felt the coldness, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Ji Mingyuan's cold gaze, turned around and ran quickly.
Ji Mingyuan calmly turned his head back and continued to eat.
"Eat this! This is delicious!" Long Yao said with a smile, she didn't know where she pulled a duck leg and handed it over.
Ji Mingyuan smiled slightly, stretched out the bowl to catch it, and came back to eat.
"Why don't you speak?" Long Yao said, Ji Mingyuan basically didn't speak when he ate, and he wouldn't say a few words unless he asked him something.
"Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking!" Ji Mingyuan said.
"Nerd!" Long Yao muttered quietly, like the old man in the clan, there are a lot of rules.
How could Ji Mingyuan not hear it? He smiled and didn't speak.
In the end, Long Yao swept away, and the table was full of messes and messy, not including Ji Mingyuan's call to the shop to tidy up.
Ji Mingyuan also finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the little white ball who was eating carrots on the side and said, "Little Er, pay!"
During the meal, Long Yao gobbled up, and the comer did not refuse, so he almost took the little white ball and ate it, but fortunately, Ji Mingyuan grabbed it quickly, and the little white ball hair exploded in fright.
In the end, Ji Mingyuan hugged him and asked the shopkeeper to find two radishes for him to eat.
After eating, Ji Mingyuan spent more than a dozen gold coins after a meal.
These dishes are not only delicious, but also cooked by some spirit animals, which strengthens the body and combs the meridians.
Ji Mingyuan took out a white handkerchief and interjected it for her, Long Yao smiled, eating happily, and her little hands gently lined up her round belly......
"Where are we going?" Long Yao said as he followed Ji Mingyuan's side.
"I'll go out and see, and if you're tired, you'll rest at the inn." "Ji Mingyuan Dao, carrying the guqin, the wind and the fairy bones, elegant and handsome, and graceful.
"I'm not tired! Long Yao said with a grin. Eat a small belly bulging.
"Whatever you want!" Ji Mingyuan said calmly.
The two of them walked through the streets, and the flow of people was surging and endless.
The bustling streets are bustling with activity and bustle.
Children are playing and playing, teenagers are talking and laughing, and girls are holding fans to half-cover their faces, laughing endlessly.
The attic around is built neatly, carved beams and painted columns, magnificent, extraordinary, showing prosperity.
Also a heyday!
Ji Mingyuan took Long Yao to an attic, called "Wind Full Building"
"What are you doing here?" Long Yao said in surprise.
"The wind and rain are coming, the wind is full of buildings, I know what is going on in the world!" Ji Mingyuan said.
"What?" Long Yao looked confused.
Ji Mingyuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Read more books!"
"Lose! If you don't say it, you won't say it!" Long Yao pouted, snorting angrily.
The wind filled the building, and there was silence.
Long Yao looked around curiously, she didn't understand, what were you doing here?
The beams and pillars are brown and black and simple, there are blue and white porcelain vases placed in the corners, the air exudes a faint fragrance, the shimmering spirit flowers, the decoration is elegant, chic and quiet.
There are many people in it!
Two people sat opposite each other, calm and speechless, and several people watched in silence.
It was too quiet, so Long Yao couldn't help but slow down, unwilling to break the tranquility.
Ji Mingyuan took her upstairs.
The third floor is much better decorated than the first and second floors, and it is also spacious and bright!
Ji Mingyuan found an empty place to sit down, a table and chair as black as ink, on which were placed wooden chessboards with crisscrossing lines, and chess boxes on opposite sides.
"Come and play chess?" Long Yao asked in a low voice.
Ji Mingyuan smiled slightly, and said softly, "Yes, no!"
Long Yao was disdainful: "Is it or isn't it when you fall to the ground?"
Ji Mingyuan always talks and chews words, in the clouds, which makes people confused, and he refuses to explain too much, so angry that Long Yao gritted his teeth and wanted to bite him.
"Go play and whisper!" Ji Mingyuan said, handing Xiaobai to her.
"Oh!" Long Yao said softly, taking the little white ball.
Long Yao sat on the table and chair prepared on the side with the little white ball, and put the little white ball on it to tease and play.
Ji Mingyuan untied the long qin and placed it lightly on the table, letting Long Yao Xiaosheng take care of it.
A short time later, someone walked in.
Long Yao looked over curiously, and saw that the person who came was well-dressed and dignified, a man in his twenties and thirties, with a good appearance and an elegant temperament, and Ji Mingyuan gave up his hands, and then sat opposite each other.
The man grabbed a chess piece from the chess box, and his palm was facing away from Ji Mingyuan.
Ji Mingyuan smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "No, polite senior, please first!"
The man smiled and said, "Then it's better to be respectful!"
The man is holding a black chess piece, Ji Mingyuan is a white chess, and he starts to go down!
The man's fingertips held the black chess pieces and pressed them on the chessboard, Ji Mingyuan smiled, his left hand held the sleeve of his right hand, and the white and slender fingertips of his right hand held the white chess pieces and pressed them on the chessboard.
The movements of the two are not hurried or slow, elegant as a woman dancing, casual and natural, not like playing chess, more like tasting tea and discussing the Tao, as quiet as water, without ripples.
The private room is silent, only the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard, the sound is crisp, like the collision of stones, melodious echo, there is a sense of lingering sound.
As the board gets fuller, the two begin to lift each other's pieces.
In the end, Ji Mingyuan spoke first, broke the silence, and said softly, "Rush!"
The voice is as light as the breeze, but it makes people feel as sonorous and powerful as the sound of a sword, and it is full of murderous intent.
The man's eyes closed and said, "Block!"
Ji Mingyuan continued to say calmly: "Rush!"
Man: "Block!"
Finally, the voices of the two echoed in the private room.
"Rush!"
"Block!"
"Top!"
"Town!"
"Sharp!"
"Thorn!"
"Broken!"
......
The two kept playing chess one after another, and Long Yao couldn't understand it, so he looked at the two curiously.
Ji Mingyuan is as calm as water, handsome as the wind in his gestures, easy-going and natural, comfortable with chess, and his indifferent smile as always has never changed, as if nothing has happened.
At first, fine lines wrinkled between the man's eyebrows, and then his head was undecided, and even cold sweat broke out on his head, and he was cramped and uneasy. So much so that in the end, as if you were taking it step by step, you have to think twice about the next chess piece.
"I lost!" Finally, the man's whole tense state was relaxed, and the momentum just now was gone, and he put the chess pieces back into the chess box with a wry smile, and took a gold coin from his arms and put it on the table.
The man smiled and said, "You are an extraordinary chess player." ”
Ji Mingyuan put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box and said with a smile, "The senior is too humble!"
The man paused and said, "Ask!"
Ji Mingyuan smiled and said, "Who is Han Chengtian then?"
The man was amazed, "Have you offended him?"
Ji Mingyuan nodded indifferently and didn't care.
The man shook his head and said, "This person is the first and second young masters of a famous clan in this city, with a dissolute and unruly personality, arrogant and unreasonable, often bullying men and women, raping, lewdness and plundering, and making friends with many capable people, which is also a big scourge in the city!
In the end, the man bowed his hand to Ji Mingyuan, pushed open the curtain beads and walked away.
Ji Mingyuan got up and returned the salute and watched him leave.
In the end, Ji Mingyuan took the gold coin into his arms and began to arrange the chessboard and put away the chess pieces.
"Hey...... What are you doing here?" Long Yao asked with a look of surprise on her face.
"No boo!" Ji Mingyuan said softly.
"Oh!" Long Yao was too excited just now, making her voice a little loud, and now she was reminded by Ji Mingyuan and said aggrievedly.
Ji Mingyuan smiled and said, "The wind and rain are coming, the wind is full of buildings, this wind and rain is like rumors, the loser has to pay the relative money, and then answer a question, if you can't answer it, then you will pay twice the money." ”
"The first floor is a copper plate game, the second floor is a game of ten copper plates, and the third floor is a gold coin game. ”
"Oh!" Long Yao suddenly realized.
If you win, you will not only make money, but you can also ask questions, so this is the meaning of the wind full of buildings?
Collecting clues?
The first floor is a place of leisure and leisure, mostly used by the people, while the second floor is mostly used by gamblers, and the third floor is slightly expensive, and those who have no money can go up.
Long Yao couldn't help but glance upstairs, it seemed that there were still a few floors upstairs, how many gold coins were a game?
