Chapter 4: Fishmongers
On the other side, Meng Changsheng walked on the street, only to feel a strong ancient atmosphere hit the face, along the way, the vendor pawn, the inn restaurant, the small stall merchant and the customer's bargaining sound sounded together, Chen County is a county under the rule of Langya County of the Wu Dynasty, the population of five or six hundred thousand, although not as good as those big cities, but also quite prosperous, the whole Chen County is built on both sides of the Chen River, several stone arch bridges connect the two banks of the Chen River.
Different from the high-rise buildings in the previous life, and different from the ancient cities that I visited in the previous life, this is the real antiquity.
"Have you heard, tomorrow Zhao Yuanwai will preside over a peony flower party. ”
"Of course I know this, and now that the news has spread throughout our entire Chen County, who else doesn't know. ”
"That's it, but I think this peony flower party is just like that, peonies bloom every year, and I won't have seen it, what's there to see, besides, even if the peony flower party is held tomorrow, we people are just joining in the fun, what can we do..."
"Hey, Brother Wang's words are wrong, this peony flower will really have nothing to look at, but Miss Zhao, the daughter of Zhao Yuanwai, is a heavenly fragrance, and it is rumored that it is as beautiful as a fairy, such a beautiful woman, if you can see it tomorrow, even if you see the beauty from afar, it is not a pleasure. ”
On the side of the street, on the second floor of a restaurant, four men wearing scarves and dressed as literati gathered together, talking while drinking, and when they talked about Miss Zhao's family, it was difficult to hide their admiration in their eyes.
"Peony Flower Club, Zhao Abao, Bao, how does this sound so familiar. ”
Meng Changsheng was dressed in a gray robe and sat in a restaurant
On the second floor, by the window, he also felt hungry before entering this restaurant to eat, ordered two side dishes, and two bowls of rice sat in the seat alone to eat, but when he heard the four men dressed as literati next to him talking, the more he listened, the more familiar he felt.
Especially the name Zhao Abao, the more he chattered, the more it made Meng Changsheng have a familiar feeling, in fact, from the first time he crossed over, when he thought that the Zhao family knew the name of Miss Zhao Family, he had a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and now that he heard about the Peony Flower Club, he felt that a certain part of his memory was touched again, but he still couldn't remember it.
While pondering, a flash of inspiration flashed in Mu Ran's thoughts, and a sentence from a TV series he had watched before popped up in Meng Changsheng's mind-
"A businessman, there is a beautiful daughter, named Bao, on the day of the Qingming Festival, Zichu traveled with his friends, and saw Bao's by the river, and everyone was fascinated..."
"Strange Tales from Liao Zhai, Ah Bao!" Meng Changsheng's face changed, and Mu Ran rang out from the TV series "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" adapted from "Liao Zhai" that he watched in his previous life, isn't it, the heroine A Bao in it is called Zhao Abao, the daughter of a rich and noble family, and it didn't take long for the plot to start with the plot of the Peony Flower Club: "No, no, if you really talk about Zhai Bao, the protagonist should be Sun Tzu Chu, right." ”
"It's not right, the male protagonist in the play, Sun Chu, is a beast doctor, because of the beast and looking for Bao.... This,The plot seems to be messed up.。 ”
Sitting by the window, Meng Changsheng's face was a little cloudy, he had a feeling that he had traveled to Liaozhai, but the reality seemed to be out of order, and there was a big deviation from the original plot.
"Little Er, check out" In the midst of the messy thoughts, Meng Changsheng shouted.
"Okay, Dream Boy, it's thirteen dollars in total. ”
Xiao Er, who was smiling all over his face and had a towel on his shoulder, ran over and said, Meng Changsheng took out thirteen copper plates and handed them to the other party when he heard this, which instantly made the other party smile even more, and Meng Changsheng's voice also attracted the eyes of the four men dressed as literati next to him, looking at Meng Changsheng, but he didn't speak.
"Xiao Er, let me ask you something, do you know a person named Sun Zi Chu?" Meng Changsheng didn't care about the eyes of the other people next to him, looked at Xiao Er and asked.
"Sun Tzu Chu. Xiao Er pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No." ”
"What about Chai Shao'an?" Meng Changsheng said again.
"Chai Gongzi, of course I know. Hearing Chai Shao'an's three words, Xiao Er immediately nodded, but his face changed slightly, his eyes showed a little fear, and he looked at Meng Changsheng in disbelief and asked, "What's the matter, does Meng Gongzi inquire about Chai Gongzi?"
"It's okay, just ask, okay, you go down. ”
When Meng Changsheng saw Xiao Er's appearance, he already knew it in his heart, waved his hand to Xiao Er, and got up and walked downstairs.
"Dream boy go slowly, welcome to come back next time. ”
Xiao Er saw Meng Changsheng leave, and said in the back.
"Isn't this Meng Changsheng, didn't he say that he was beaten by Li Er and them in the morning, what's wrong?"
"A dignified scholar, but in the company of birds and beasts, he simply lost the face of our Shilin, hmph, why don't you let people beat you to death, and save the face of our Shilin. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, this beast doctor has a good life, do you know why he was beaten this morning, I heard that this kid and Miss Zhao traveled together for a day yesterday, hehe...."
Although the red face is good, it is not something that everyone can enjoy, although the Miss Zhao family is fragrant and beautiful, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, not to mention that a doctor of birds and beasts still wants to eat swan meat with a toad, but it is just to bring death to herself. ”
Seeing Meng Changsheng leaving, the four scribes sitting on the table also spoke one after another, in every word and deed, they were all disdainful and gloating about Meng Changsheng, the literati were high, this was not false at all, but in the past, Meng Changsheng was in the company of birds and beasts, and became a beast doctor, which is a profession that even the small people in the market can't look down on, in the eyes of these literati, they naturally lose their face, and naturally they don't have a good impression of Meng Changsheng.
On the other side, leaving the restaurant, Meng Changsheng walked on the street, but his mind was in chaos, he was more than eighty percent sure that he had crossed into the world of Liaozhai Zhiyi, Peony Flower Club, Zhao Abao, Chai Shao'an, these people all appeared, and there was only one male protagonist grandson Chu.
However, according to the current situation, it seems that the plot has deviated, there is no six-fingered beast doctor grandson Chu here, only his beast doctor dreams of immortality.
Did I take the place of the main character!
Meng Changsheng's face was a little cloudy.
"What kind of world is this, Zhai?"
For the first time, Meng Changsheng felt that it was necessary for him to have a good understanding of the world.
"Dream boy, dream boy, buy a fish, it's all just caught from the river. ”
Because of something in his heart, Meng Changsheng also seemed a little absent-minded when he walked on the road, until a fishmonger's voice sounded in his ears that he came back to his senses, turned his head, and saw a fishmonger with a stubble on his face holding a grass carp of about two or three catties and said to him with a smile.
"Meng Gongzi, look at how this Yu is, he is big and fat..."
Seeing this, Meng Changsheng waved his hand again and again, he didn't want to buy any fish at all.
"No, no, you put it down, I don't buy fish. ”
After that, we have to go.
"Dream boy, dream boy, don't worry, don't like this one, look at this one, I'll sell it to you cheaper..."
This fishmonger hasn't seen a guest for a long time, and when he sees Meng Changsheng at this moment, how can he give up easily, seeing that Meng Changsheng is leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Meng Changsheng.
"Dream Child, how do you see this..."
Holding Meng Changsheng with one hand, he pointed to another fish passage in the water tank.
"You let go, you let go first, I'll see for myself. ”
Pulled by the fishmonger, Meng Changsheng shook his hands again and again to break free, it was really the fishy smell on the fishmonger's body was too strong, it was estimated that he hadn't taken a bath for a few days, he couldn't stand it, plus he was a person who loved cleanliness in the first place, and he could stand the smell of the fishmonger.
"Hey, okay, then you pick, you pick..."
Seeing that Meng Changsheng seemed to accept it, the fishmonger immediately let go of Meng Changsheng's hand with a smile, but his eyes were always paying attention to Meng Changsheng, there was a posture that you wouldn't let you go if you didn't sell it, Meng Changsheng was also helpless, thinking that he had just taken care of this goods What was he doing, he couldn't just go, now it's okay, it's a commotion.
In the previous life, he was most annoyed by this kind of stalker, you always pestered you if you didn't buy things, but I didn't expect this life to cross over and meet again, but at this time, it was also Meng Changsheng's own brain short circuit, if he said that he had no money, it is estimated that this boss immediately had another attitude towards him.
However, at this time, Meng Changsheng was also a little unbearable by the fishy smell on the boss's body, and he only thought about breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster and leaving here quickly, so he just bought one and went back, and just to replenish his body, so he looked at the fish tank.
These fish are all fishmongers in the Chen River, grass carp, carp these are the majority, some are big and some are small, as big as four or five catties, as small as less than a catty, all with a large water tank.
"Po... Kiss!... Pooh..."
However, just when Meng Changsheng's eyes looked over, he was attracted by a carp.
