13. Crushed silver

Qingzhou County is also the most prosperous place in the whole territory of Qingzhou!

The midday sun is scorching.

At this time, it is also the most lively time in Qingzhou City, and the scorching heat not only does not reduce the flow of people, but makes it more lively. There are all kinds of shops, there are a variety of varieties, and most of the clerks inside are dressed neatly.

There is an "ancestral bone-setting ointment" of two men, one left and one right, standing at the door shouting three and four:

"Take a look, take a look, the ancestral secret recipe for bone-setting medicine, whether you are injured by a fall or a burn, the medicine will cure the disease, including bruises, falls, and muscle and bone strain. ”

There are also street vendors who hold copper bells in their hands in order to attract people's attention, and shake them slightly, and the melodious bells suddenly scatter:

"Hey, passing, don't miss it! I've seen it, I've thought about it, don't walk by! A tight-fitting coat made of good animal skins, warm in winter and cool in summer, if you want to buy it as soon as possible..."

On a long street, it is densely populated, and hawkers gather, and the sound of hawking is incessant, and the bargaining is endless. Some of the pedestrians on the street are resting in the teahouse, some are watching fortune telling, and some are eating in the restaurant. There is also the "Zhoujia Paper Horse Shop", which sells tomb sweeping offerings, and the "Feng Family Pawn" seems to be a mortgage.

There is a dazzling array of everything, and the voices of people are boiling, and the traffic is busy.

Tao Hui looked at the lively scenes on the surrounding streets, and said in surprise: "It's so lively!"

Liu Xingrong raised his head and smiled, and pointed forward: "It's more lively here!"

After passing through this long street and the market, there is the famous 'Yuelai' restaurant in Qingzhou. This is a restaurant that has gone through wind and rain, inherited for a hundred years, mainly based on Shuzhong cuisine, supplemented by good Fenjiu, guests here, not only have the pleasure of drinking fine wine, but also enjoy the joy of food, and therefore it has been widely spread by many diners, famous in Qingzhou!

And this 'Yuelai' restaurant is not an isolated building, next to it is 'Mochizuki', 'Splendid', 'Holy Hand Medical Hall' and so on.

Some are teahouses and wine shops, which belong to the places where literati and ink writers chant poems; some are fireworks and green buildings, in which some vulgar military men spend money to have some fun; and some are medical halls, which help the world to save people and hang pots to save the world!

This large area of magnificent pavilions and pavilions in the air is connected continuously, and the eaves are painted at the corners. Overlooking the misty Qingzhou East Lake, towering into the clouds, the scenery is excellent, and it has always been the place where Qingzhou tourists climb high and drink.

The second figure came slowly, gradually approaching the restaurant.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, carrying a strange gourd, as if he had a store of fine wine, and he tasted it while walking, which was extremely chic and comfortable.

The young man was dressed in strange clothes, and he didn't look like the local people in Qingzhou, his clothes were ragged, his face was a little charcoal, mixed with some blood, and he seemed to be fleeing in a hurry.

The appearance of the two attracted many pedestrians to look back, and a group of middle-aged women basking in the sun on the street were talking about it.

"Looking at these two people, maybe some rich children are fleeing!"

"Aunt Wang, how did you save it?"

"The boy looks down, but his skin is very well maintained. ”

"Ah, that young man's face is full of smudges, this Aunt Wang can see it, eighty percent is Sichun, right?"

"Cut, Hugh has to talk nonsense! Xiaochun, see if Aunt Wang doesn't kill you..."

Several middle-aged women basking in the sun frolicked.

Beside the peach coat emblem, Liu Xingrong seemed to remember something and admonished.

"Little friend, this county town of Qingzhou is mixed, you need to be cautious and cautious, and you have to be tactful. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get into some trouble!"

Tao Hui nodded: "I have been well-behaved since I was a child, and I never cause trouble!"

Liu Xingrong shook his head and smiled, "It's not that I'm afraid that you will cause trouble, but that the deeper the contact and the more experience you have, the more cautious you will be, walking on thin ice." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the restaurant close at hand and smiled slightly, "Little friend, the dishes in this restaurant are good, I will take you to taste it today." ”

At this moment, the sound of horses and whips came in an uproar.

"Driving...."

The peach coat emblem followed the voice and looked over.

It was a lavishly decorated carriage, and as they got closer and closer to the restaurant, they could already see the coachman's appearance from where they were.

In front of the 'Yue Lai' restaurant is a small road, which only allows one horse-drawn carriage and pedestrians to pass. But the strange thing is that this carriage, entering it, is not taboo pedestrians, and it is still driven fast.

Pedestrians on the road saw the magnificent carriage and scattered in all directions. Even some hawkers with baskets on the ground hurriedly packed up all kinds of goods that were placed on the ground.

Peach Hui looked at the carriage in front of her in surprise, and she became more and more curious about the ancient world in front of her.

"Slightly..."

The lavishly decorated carriage came to a sudden halt, and the coachman seemed to be frightened, and let out a long breath.

At this time, an impatient voice sounded in the field:

"Wei San, why don't you leave?"

"Young master, there is someone in front of you. ”

The groom looked ahead, and in front of him an old man in his sixties was hunched over and dragging a small cart full of firewood, blocking half of the path.

In just a moment, the old man dozed off three times, and seemed to be extremely sleepy. At this time, he was about to lean on the firewood of the trolley and take a slight nap.

"Let's go, leave him alone!"

The groom heard the anger in the voice of the young man in brocade, and there was a burst of fear in his heart, and he immediately rode his horse and whipped the horse in front of the car a few times:

"Slightly!"

The old man was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves behind him, turned his head and saw the magnificent luxury chariot behind him, his expression immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly pushed the car to give way.

But after all, it was still a step too slow, and the carriage roared away, still rubbing against the wheels of the cart.

The car suddenly turned over on its back, and the firewood on top of several people fell to the ground in an instant.

The palatial chariot ignored it and left straight away.

When the carriage passed by the old man, the curtain of the wing room behind the carriage suddenly opened a corner, revealing a flamboyant young man in brocade clothes, and he shook off a sentence in a vicious voice:

"Old thing, a good dog doesn't get in the way, if you get in the way again, I'll crush you next time!"

There was a sound of hooves, and the carriage whizzed away.

Tao Hui glanced at Liu Xingrong, shook his head and said, "Doesn't this person look at the road?"

She was indignant and was about to chase after the carriage, but Liu Xingrong stretched out his hand to stop her, and said strangely, "This person is the second son of Qingzhou County, and he has always been arrogant and domineering. ”

Hearing Liu Xingrong's words, Tao Hui shook her head again and again, she is from the modern era, and she does not understand the clear class distinction in ancient times. The two stepped forward and helped the old man pick up firewood from the ground, and the old man thanked him again and again.

After that, the two walked to the door of the 'Yuelai' restaurant again, at this moment, it was noon, and the people inside were boiling, guessing the boxing order, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, faintly came, so lively.

Liu Xingrong said with a straight face: "Little friend, please come in!"

Tao Hui smiled brightly, then nodded and followed behind Liu Xingrong.

"The two guest officers are invited!" The sharp-eyed shopkeeper saw the guests and hurriedly ran over, but when he saw the appearance of the two people who came in, his eager movements suddenly paused, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Begging for food elsewhere!"

Hearing this, Liu Xingrong's old face was slightly red, and he said with some annoyance, "We're here for dinner!"

The shopkeeper carefully examined the two people in front of him again, and said disdainfully: "Eat, the food here!

"What, you are begging for food as a laborer?" Liu Xingrong was a little angry.

The shopkeeper laughed, "Don't make trouble here, if you call the military master, I will definitely let you eat a messy dinner, and the limbs and bones you eat are all comfortable and fluttering!"

"You!" Liu Xingrong was speechless.

Tao Hui and Liu Xingrong glanced at each other, Liu Xingrong shook his head and smiled, fumbled and took out a few ingots of broken silver from his arms, stretched out his hand and spread them out, "Little brother, let's see what this is?"

"This is?" The sharp-eyed shopkeeper took it from Liu Xingrong's hand, bit it with his teeth in disbelief, and picked it up again to look at it carefully, "This is actually true!"

Liu Xingrong teased: "I'm waiting for a meal, but I have to call Huazi for begging?"

The shopkeeper suddenly smiled, and smiled: "Hey, how can it, the two of you are people who have seen the world at a glance, come on, the two of you are objectively invited!"

Seeing the performance of the shopkeeper, Tao Hui immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly. This person seems to be like a chameleon, with eyes open when he sees money, and he is unpredictable.

It seems that he has discovered the confusion of the peach coat emblem. Liu Xingrong said slowly: "The people of the world are running around and working hard, and they prefer this broken silver for a few taels. Helplessly, this broken silver is a few taels, and it relieves a thousand sorrows. ”

The old man seemed to be more and more angry the more he spoke, and raised his voice:

"Some people are born kings, and some people fall into the grass. Some people cut back on food and clothing, and some people spend a lot of money. Some people live a long life, and some people die halfway. Some people are on the rise, and some people are behind bars. The centipede has a hundred legs, and it is not as good as a snake. The rooster's wings are big, and they are not as good as the birds;" the old man said with foaming at the mouth, gushing endlessly: "Humility starts from the heart, and it is inferior to people in every way." Pride rises from the bones, and does not bend the knee against all odds. Anger rises from the heart, and evil grows to the guts. Everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone..."

Tao Hui was dumbfounded when he heard it, stunned, he couldn't imagine that this looked, fairy wind bones, sanctimonious old guy, Ya is still an old and angry young man.
