Chapter 1 Jianghu
Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an Mansion.
The early morning mist wet the steps in front of the door and filled the streets, giving it a slightly bleak early autumn. With a few roosters crowing, the quiet street just now became lively, children cried, dogs barked, and cooking smoke rose in the mist, and people officially began their day's life.
The shop pΓΉ on the main road of the city gate also removed all the door panels, and put all the things needed for business on display. The flags were also hung early, and the warm aroma of rice wine emanated in the air, attracting drinkers. At the beginning of the sun, the light fog was blown away, and Lin'an Mansion became more and more lively.
When the city gate was opened, the street vendors in the countryside and the traveling merchants who traveled overnight poured into the city, scattered to all corners of Hangzhou, enriching its prosperity.
Dressed in green clothes, a long sword, and with a frosty face, Yue Ziran led an old horse into the city gate slowly.
He walked casually through the crowd to a clean alleyway, the horse's hooves clattering on the bluestone, echoing the busy sounds of the shops on both sides of the street.
When he missed a restaurant, Yue Ziran caught a glimpse of a notice posted outside the store that said the transfer of the shop, and hurriedly turned it back. He carefully looked at the environment around the restaurant, and asked Xiao Er, who was lazily soliciting drinkers outside the door, "Xiao Er, is this restaurant going to be transferred?" After speaking, he couldn't help covering his mouth and coughing a few times.
Xiao Er glanced at Yue Ziran, and saw that he was covered in dust, his face was haggard, and he was obviously a foreigner, so when he asked casually, he also replied casually: "Yes, the shopkeeper wants to go back to his hometown to care for the elderly." β
Yue Ziran nodded, handed the reins of the horse to the shopkeeper, and ordered: "Sue the shopkeeper of your shop, I want this shop." β
The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and saw that Yue Ziran's face was indifferent, and he had already slowly swayed into the store at this moment, which didn't seem to be a fake. Hurriedly tied the horse and ran to the inner hall to report to the shopkeeper, hoping not to leave a bad impression on the shopkeeper of the new store.
Yue Ziran coughed lightly a few more times, and saw that there were no drinkers in the store at this time, and the second junior in the other store was wiping the table, and his eyes glanced over from time to time. Yue Ziran sat down, ordered Xiao Er to serve a jar of rice wine, and asked a few questions at random, so as to understand the situation of this restaurant clearly.
Soon, the shopkeeper walked out and called all the guys and bookkeepers in the store, Yue Ziran saw that they were all honest people, and the shopkeeper was in good condition, so he didn't bother with the shopkeeper, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the restaurant changed hands.
A guest room was arranged, and after freshening up, Yue Ziran stopped by the window, downstairs was a bustling street, cars were coming and going, and the shopkeeper in front of the store was busy carrying things with his subordinates. In the distance, through the eaves of the building, you can see the city wall in the distance and the West Lake shrouded in green smoke on the other side.
Coughing a few more times, Yue Ziran had to go downstairs, at this time there were already drinkers in the store, Yue Ziran handed the prescription to a shop Xiao Er and told him to grab the medicine, and then found a corner, scalded a pot of rice wine, and drank it himself.
It has been more than 20 years since he came here, and Yue Ziran sighed lightly, but it was the first time to experience the life of ordinary people in the Southern Song Dynasty. In this kind of life, Yue Ziran looked at the bustling crowd outside the store and the sunlight jumping in his hands, feeling like a few landscapes outlined on blue and white porcelain, relaxed and comfortable......
Yue Ziran was completely settled in Hangzhou City, he was a scholar in his previous life, grew up in a stable environment in the 21st century, never experienced wind and rain, and after the Song Dynasty thousands of years ago, he experienced the parting of life and death, so Yue Ziran cherished and enjoyed this comfortable time even more. Every day, he finds a seat near the street in the store, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying a leisurely autumn day. Sometimes I will hold a book in my hand, flip through it casually, and smile lightly when I think of something. Sometimes, he would hold a homemade charcoal pen in his hand, write or sketch on straw paper, and when he was in the mood, he would take a few sips of sake, cough a few times, and continue to write, only to discard it and ignore it when he was done.
It's just that his cough is still not good, and although Xiao Er grabs medicine for him every few days, he doesn't have the slightest effect when he drinks it. Soon, everyone around knew that the restaurant had changed to a quirky shopkeeper, who was weak and always coughing, but always smiling, and never seemed to be annoyed. The hearts of the people are also good, the neighbors drink tea and are in arrears at will, never say anything, and the leftovers left in the store are always handed to the beggars outside the door in an orderly manner.
Slowly spread in the community, Yue Ziran is the son of a large family, and he has been infected with nobility, so he has a kind of atmosphere in dealing with people, which is different from others.
What made Yue Ziran smile bitterly was that after hearing the rumor, the grandmother who sold vegetables next door relied on her familiarity with him, so she came to the store every now and then to talk to him about matchmaking, and kept praising who the girl was beautiful and whose girl had a good butt.
It's just that every time Grandma comes, she and Yue Ziran bring a baked potato made by her man, which is very delicious, and Yue Ziran can't bear to refuse her old man, so she can only listen to the nagging every time and enjoy the delicious taste in her mouth.
After a period of time, some rumors of Yue Ziran circulated again, unlike the son of a big family, this time Yue Ziran had an additional identity: a talent. When he first heard this version of the rumor, Yue Ziran glanced at his own account room, and when he saw that he was surprised, he naturally knew that he had passed on some of the things he had copied on the paper when he was bored. But it's all stuff that is copied when it's boring, so it's naturally useless, after all, there's nothing shocking written on it.
It's just that when he was thinking about this, Yue Ziran turned his head, looked at the window, and sighed, Luo Guanzhong is sorry, I just finished copying "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", forgive me for my bad taste.
However, after being reborn and crossing, the brain is really so good. Yue Ziran chuckled.
Sure enough, within a few days, the store was full of drinkers talking about Cao Cao's treachery and Guan Yu's loyalty. Speaking of excitement, I didn't forget to turn my head and glance at the window, where a man in his twenties was holding a baked potato in his hand, listening to what the vegetable seller said with a wry smile.
After a lot of saliva, Grandma took a sip of herbal tea, and saw that Yue Ziran was still looking careless, she suddenly became impatient, and said with a straight face: "This time you have to listen to Grandma for whatever you say, that girl is not only very marked, but also different from you to hang a broken sword, she has martial arts, today I saw her beat a few big men down on the stage." β
"Huh?" Yue Ziran raised his head and chuckled, "Grandma, I'm also good at martial arts." Grandma looked at him suspiciously, but she didn't dwell on the matter, but continued to talk about the girl.
