Volume 1: Reading is not a Confucian sour Chapter 71 Red Maple and Green Willow Baixiao Pavilion
Chen Lin'an took Ying Tianchang to visit the academy for two days, and then left Xinzhai.
This is the surprise of the separation without the Jinghu Lake, and the gentleness and predictability of the snowflakes melting in the water. Mo Shuting and Huang Xing Village where Chen Lin'an should have gone to say hello, Ying Tianchang went to Sanssouci Cliff again two days later to be beaten, the two Mr. Xi did not say much. In the eyes of Mo Shuting, Ying Tianchang, who had been practicing frantically for a short period of time, should make good use of these two days to sweep away his physical and mental exhaustion.
Chen Lin'an left the academy here, and Ying Tianchang was still a little stunned in his heart.
Now he's alone again.
Except for the ink book pavilion or Huangxing Village when he went to Sanssouci Cliff to practice, most of the time the teenager was alone with the little black dog to face the vast world of the academy and the buildings that could be seen everywhere.
Ying Tianchang sometimes sat on the hillside in front of his hut, looking at the dense figures and lights in the valley under his feet, and he didn't have much of a lively feeling. The flames that reflected the night burned a wider silence.
Gu Qing asked Qinghuang, his friends who could talk, also had their own things in their hearts, unlike him Ying Tianchang, who was generally an idler who didn't know what to do. When Ying Tianchang wanted to look for them, he suddenly realized that he didn't know where they lived or when they were free.
Of course, Ying Tianchang didn't know what to do after finding them, chatting, or something else?
Think about it, it's more relaxed and comfortable to be alone with the buns.
In the meantime, Ying Tianchang took the time to go to the Baixiao Pavilion branch in Qingfufang that Chen Lin'an mentioned.
Ying Tianchang originally thought that the entrance of Baixiao Pavilion would be crowded, but it was far from what he expected, although the door of the three-story small building with the plaque of "Baixiao Pavilion" was not crowded, but it was not the kind of people who Ying Tianchang thought.
Chen Lin'an once said that the boss and promoter behind the scenes is Xu Lu's Baixiao Pavilion, which is based on the whole world, and there are three branches in Xinzhai, which are based on three of the dozen or so markets in Xinzhai, and Qingfufang is one of them. However, there is only one student residence in Jingxin Valley near Qingfufang, and the student literati who live in Jingxin Valley mostly conform to the prefix "Jingxin" in Jingxin Valley, so it is reasonable that there are not too many customers in the Baixiao Pavilion store of Qingfufang. Ying Tianchang pondered casually and walked into this Baixiao Pavilion, which seemed to be no different from ordinary shops.
There was nothing special on the first floor of this Baixiao Pavilion in Qingjiafang, a counter, some accented bonsai, and a staircase leading to the second floor.
There are no items for sale, and there are no arrangements that can make Ying Tianchang's eyes shine.
At the counter, there were two guys, but two children, who looked less than ten years old. One of the two children put his head on the counter and fell asleep, while the other leaned back in his seat, staring vacantly at the wooden plank above his head.
It seems that no one has seen Ying Tianchang's arrival.
Ying Tianchang glanced at the two guys, hesitated in his heart, and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor, and it was not until he reached the staircase that Ying Tianchang felt that something was wrong with this Baixiao Pavilion - the foot he raised now could not fall on the first step of this open staircase without any obstruction or restriction.
Every time I lift my foot and fall, I am stepping in place.
Ying Tianchang was a little interested, and his body's spiritual power ran to his feet, and then stepped hard. This time he didn't stand still, Ying Tianchang's foot seemed to have stepped into the void, not stepping on anything, only soft. At the same time, this foot seemed to be still in the air, Ying Tianchang felt that his foot had fallen, and he had completed the action of stepping on it, but in his field of vision, his foot was suspended in the air, and he had not moved a bit.
Ying Tianchang immediately took a few steps back, and everything returned to its original appearance.
Baozi screamed in Ying Tianchang's ear. Ying Tianchang shook his head and smiled with interest. He wanted to try to break the spell himself.
When Ying Tianchang tried to walk the stairs again, he heard a voice in his ear.
"Don't waste your efforts, even if you are a half-immortal land immortal in the world, don't think about breaking this spell. β
Ying Tianchang turned around, it was the guy who was stupid with his hair on his back, and he had now walked to his side.
And seeing Ying Tianchang's face when he came back, this guy's expression was even more surprised: "Mr. Ying Tianchang?"
Ying Tianchang smiled politely and nodded again. Although the students of Xinzhai did call him Mr. Four when he was in the northwest, but after returning to the academy, it seemed that there was no such thing, and he Ying Tianchang became a transparent person again, and no one saw the so-called Mr. Four, let alone paid attention to this Ying Tianchang. Ying Tianchang thought about it himself, and on the outside, they represented the entire Xinzhai, and he would naturally have the title of Mr. Four, and when he returned to the academy, he Ying Tianchang was a protΓ©gΓ© of Xinzhai like every scholar studying in Xinzhai, and even Ying Tianchang's own Wen Taowu strategy was not as good as that of them literati and ink writers. Hawkers, just like Chen Lin'an said, literati are light, and there may be one more literati arrogant.
"That's the little boss?" said the fellow with a smile.
Ying Tianchang looked at this guy and smiled, and he didn't think that this was looking at the boss's expression. He said, "So can I be here without spending money?"
"Who dares to take your money, if the boss knows about it, he won't be able to roll up and get out?" said the guy pulling the corners of his mouth, but Ying Tianchang didn't think he was lying. However, Ying Tianchang remembered that Chen Lin'an added two more words when he said that Xu Lu was the boss of Baixiao Pavilion, and he said "the boss behind the scenes".
Therefore, Ying Tianchang asked more: "Everyone knows that Senior Brother Xu is the master of Baixiao Pavilion?"
"How is it possible, externally, anyone can be the boss of Baixiao Pavilion, or it may not be anyone, and we also have a boss in name. The only ones who know the real boss are those of us who work in Baixiao Pavilion, and there are also your masters and apprentices. The guy said.
"The students and gentlemen of Shinsai don't know either?"
"Can you let them know?" said the guy with a roll of his eyes, "that is a fart Baixiao Pavilion." β
Ying Tianchang felt that this guy was a little interesting, and he almost caught up with the staircase that he couldn't step on. He asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Red Maple. The guy glanced at the guy who was sleeping on the counter and continued, "That guy's name is Green Willow. This Baixiao Pavilion branch is newly opened, just the two of us for the time being, me and that guy are fighting over who is the shopkeeper. β
Ying Tianchang asked this guy named Hongfeng, "Who do you talk to like this?"
Hong Feng rolled his eyes again and said, "I don't bother to pay attention to ordinary people! If it weren't for my little boss who eats and drinks, do you think I would say so much in front of you?" β
Ying Tianchang felt that there were not many customers in this branch, and the reason was that he was beside him and the two young men at the counter. Maybe to others, this Baixiao Pavilion branch is a little wrong or even a little strange with two children, but for Tianchang, this is not bad.
Chen Lin'an, Xu Lu, and Li Qinglian all said that Ying Tianchang should go to see the world. There should be a hundred or more kinds of scenes in the world, even if it is the same thing and the same scene, it is the same, it is similar or the same everywhere, but it is not interesting.
In Ying Tianchang's eyes, these two little children are one of the hundred scenes. There are also a lot of things that Ying Tianchang has seen and heard, all of which he has seen and seen in his eyes one by one, and slowly incorporated them into his own hundred scenes.
Ying Tianchang asked: "It's my first time to come to Baixiao Pavilion, how do you probably do business?" Not to mention these two children, Ying Tianchang is more concerned about how he can know the news, legends and anecdotes of the outside world. Previously, Chen Lin'an had already mentioned that Baixiao Pavilion was mainly a place to sell news and information, and at the same time, it also collected some magic weapons and secret arts, and occasionally sold some spells and magic weapons. But Chen Lin'an's words stopped there. Ying Tianchang still didn't know how to get the news he wanted in Baixiao Pavilion.
Hong Feng smiled "hey, hey, hey", his appearance was a little underwhelming, and he said: "The things sold in Baixiao Pavilion are not to mention those magic weapons and supernatural powers that have been picked up, and they can be said to be the first in the world in terms of intelligence. Current affairs in the world, espionage, astronomy and geography, gods and demons, all under control. β
Hongfeng raised his eyebrows at Ying Tianchang again: "In addition, if you want to know which fairy's preferences and which young man's travel route, Baixiao Pavilion also has it, and it is kept accurately." Why are there so many mountains of buying and selling news, and we have the most customers in Baixiao Pavilion, this is the credibility accumulated over many years of trading, and naturally there are two words of correctness and fairness. β
"The articles and newspapers published by our Baixiao Pavilion have always been known as orthodox in the world. β
Hong Feng rubbed his hands, lowered his voice and said, "Of course, there are still some things that can be sold and those that can't be sold, all of which are easy to discuss." β
Ying Tianchang pressed his palm on Hongfeng's face, didn't look at his increasingly strange smile, and said, "How to buy, what to buy?"
"It's worthy of being the boss's junior brother, that's it. Hongfeng was praising on his lips, but he still unceremoniously knocked Ying Tianchang's palm off his head, and said, "You can come here directly and ask us for the information you want to buy, and collect money according to the situation, of course, you don't need it, little boss." Or just come to Baixiao Pavilion once, record a specific spiritual breath of yours, and every time you release the recorded breath in the future, no matter where you are in the world, Baixiao Pavilion will send a special spirit to report the latest mansion to your hands in the fastest time, this fee is unified in the cabinet, only in some special places will add extra money, such as Jiaolong Cave, Ten Thousand Demon City and other places, of course, or that sentence, you don't have to charge money for the little boss. β
Hongfeng fell into the eyes of money, and kept mentioning the money. However, Ying Tianchang listened to it and turned a deaf ear, since Xu Lu said that he could not take his own money, then why should he pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, and he had no money.
Then Hong Feng pointed to the stairs that Ying Tianchang wanted to step on just now, and said, "Plus some items for trading, these are probably the transactions carried out on the first floor, and they are all basic transactions. Some are special and have to go up to the second floor. β
Ying Tianchang smiled, I see.
"What's on the second floor?" asked Ying Tianchang.
"There are a lot of things on the second floor, but they're almost all of the same kind. Hong Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "For example, if you admire a certain fairy and want to know her whereabouts and preferences, but you don't want others to know, these customized news have to be talked about on the second floor." β
"Of course, there's more to the second floor than that. β
Ying Tianchang nodded, probably knowing slightly.
However, Ying Tianchang suspected that this little boy was sent by Xu Lu to disgust himself, and after hearing Chen Lin'an and Xu Lu say so many things about Baixiao Pavilion, Ying Tianchang suspected that his careful thinking had been clarified by Xu Lu.
And at this moment, Hong Feng said a word.
"I guess the little boss wants to go up to the second floor now, right?"
