Chapter 03: The Taoist Priest

Yihong Mansion is not far from West Lake, and the two arrived quickly.

Xu Xian was the first time to come to this kind of romantic place in the real sense, and he was still a little awkward in his heart, but after arriving at the place, he saw that there were not a few scholars coming and going, and his heart was much better.

The men of the Dali Dynasty occupied the dominant position in society, so the Qinglou was completely legitimate. Except for the ministers of the imperial court, who may care about their reputation and dare not come to the Qinglou to have fun, ordinary literati have no scruples.

The literati are so romantic.

Just like the classmates of Xu Xian Academy, there are often more than three or five people who meet to go to the Qinglou together, which will not be considered immoral, on the contrary, it will feel like a romantic thing.

Even, there is no shortage of stories of Qinglou and poor scholars eloping together after falling in love.

No matter where you are, it's normal for a beauty to love a talent.

If He Liang is a talented man with outstanding literary talents and can do good poetry, even if his appearance is a little worse and his pocket is shy, Miss Ruiyun will not feel strange if he loves him Xu Xian.

The key is that He Liang is the same as the original Xu Xian, the Lord who has a headache when he sees poetry!

"I guess this guy also lacks a little confidence in his heart, so he has to pull me up, right?" Xu Xian shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Although there are stories in this world about the Qinglou woman and the poor scholar who fell in love and had a happy ending, it is more of a tragedy. Those who can open a green building are not good at stubble, if they don't have enough money to redeem themselves, they won't be spared if they are caught after escaping without permission, and the peeling skin is light!

"Get out, get out of the way! Where is the stinky Taoist priest, dare to come to me to lean on the Red Mansion to make trouble, believe it or not, break your legs!" Before Xu Xian and He Liang entered the door, they saw a figure thrown out by two turtle men dressed as miscellaneous servants, and there were already many people gathered around them, joking and laughing.

"The current monks are really amazing, and they have come to the Qinglou to find women. ”

"And it's also a prostitute, so guts!"

The Taoist priest who was slammed on the ground quickly stood up and cleaned up the dust on his clothes as if he was fine, and did not care about everyone's pointing and explaining: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye." I was just passing through this place, and suddenly I heard a pleasant sound of the piano, like a pearl falling on a plate, and the aftermath was lingering, which is rare in the world. It's a pity not to be there, so I want to go in and visit the owner of the piano. ”

"I don't care what your reason is, if you want to enter the Red Mansion, you have to have silver!" Gu Gong sneered, and said arrogantly: "If you have silver, don't say go in and listen to Miss Ruiyun play the piano, even if you want to find ten or eight women to accompany you, it's no problem! If you don't have money, get out immediately!"

"Listening to the piano won't cause you any loss, so why be so stingy? And you can also go in and tell you Ruiyun girl, maybe she would like me to listen to her play the piano?"

"That's it, I have no money, if you really want to collect money, how about Poor Dao write you an exorcism charm for free as a fee?"

This man claims to be a Taoist priest, but he does not have many of the distinguishing characteristics of a Taoist priest.

He doesn't look very old, about thirty years old, and he is not wearing a Taoist robe, just an ordinary long robe, and there is no Taoist bone fairy wind on his body, more like a down-and-out poor talent.

Well, his face is quite thick-skinned, and he doesn't change his face in the face of so many people's ridicule, and he insists on entering the Qinglou if he has no money.

"Who wants your broken talisman!" Several turtle men were angry and gritted their teeth and said: "You still talk nonsense, it seems that you are willing to leave because you want to teach you a lesson!"

After that, he began to roll up his sleeves and prepare to beat people.

Seeing this, no one helped the bystanders, and in their opinion, it was the Taoist priest who was unreasonable, and he was indeed messing around.

What kind of place is Qinglou, you deserve to be beaten if you have no money!

"Stop!" The crowd of onlookers was separated from the middle, and two figures were squeezed out, it was Xu Xian and He Liang.

Xu Xian took out the silver money bag and said, "This Daoist brother has no money, can I invite him?"

Accepting the cognition of this world and knowing the methods of these evil slaves, if this Taoist priest refuses to leave, several turtle princes will definitely be ruthless, and it is normal for Taoist priests to be interrupted. Although this Taoist priest behaved strangely, he didn't look like a wicked person with a bad heart, and he couldn't bear to see him suffering.

Seeing that someone was standing up for the Taoist priest, Gu Gong was stunned for a moment, restrained a little, and after glancing at Xu Xian's dress and the wallet in his hand, he sneered again: "Where did the poor scholar appear, can you invite it if you want?" Seeing Miss Ruiyun and listening to her play the piano, the minimum is twenty taels of silver, is your money enough?"

Hiss, twenty taels of silver!

This is not a small amount, it is enough for an ordinary family of four to eat and drink for a year!

The money bag that Xu Jiaorong gave to Xu Xian was filled with some broken silver and copper coins, which added up to no more than two taels of silver, and he was not even qualified to see half of Miss Ruiyun.

These turtle fathers have been working in the Qinglou for a long time, and observing words and expressions is the basic ability, and they can see at a glance that Xu Xian is a child of a poor family, so they are full of confidence.

"Dogs look down on people!" Just when Xu Xian was slightly embarrassed, He Liang stood up with his chubby body, threw his money bag over angrily, and asked, "Is this money enough to see Miss Ruiyun?"

He Liang was angry not because of the Taoist priests, but because these turtle princes looked down on Xu Xian. Although this person is sometimes unscrupulous and a little thick-skinned, his character is still good, and his biggest advantage is his morality.

Today, Xu Xian was pulled out by him, of course he couldn't let Xu Xian lose face.

Gu Gong grabbed the money bag and weighed it, the disdain and anger on his face quickly disappeared, and he was replaced by a flattering smile: "Enough, enough." A few masters, please, I will show you the way. ”

They work as handymen in the Qinglou, which is already the most humble profession, and they will not have self-esteem, and they only recognize one truth: rich is the uncle. I was unhappy with the Taoist priest and Xu Xian in my heart, and I didn't dare to show it anymore.

They can beat to death those who have no money to make trouble, but if they offend rich guests, they will also be beaten to death.

"Dao Chief, let's go in. Xu Xian smiled and invited.

The Taoist priest wanted to open his mouth to thank him, but after looking at Xu Xian's eyes intently, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and his eyes were full of surprise, as if he had found something, and only after a while did he say, "Then thank you Gongzi." I don't know what to call Childe?"

Xu Xian smiled and said, "My name is Xu Xian, and the word is Chinese." Daoist doesn't need to thank me, if you want to thank me, thank you for this He Gongzi beside me. If it weren't for him, I would have been turned away just like you. ”

He Liang waved his hand and said hurriedly: "You're welcome, I originally came to Ruiyun today." Let's get inside. ”
