Chapter 16 The Robbery of the Rivers and Lakes One step at a time, one dangerous ambush and one murder machine
Chang'an street tyrants
Down to Huashan, not far from Chang'an City, although in the Song Dynasty has lost the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and because of the long-term invasion of the Western Xia, the economy and population have declined significantly, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and then it was once the imperial capital, so it is still the first metropolis in the northwest at present, and its style and grace are incomparable to others.

Qingyu and the other three were amazed when they arrived in the city, and decided to play for three days and then go west. In fact, Qingyu has been to Chang'an many times, just because she said that she came from the east before, and she wanted to show the expression of the first time she came here. Meng Taihua and Sikong Yingyue are really the first time to come to Chang'an, they have lived in the Tianshan Mountains since childhood, all they see are snow valley ice peaks, and the houses they live in are much simpler, in the vast cold mountains, even if there are more manpower and financial resources, it is difficult to rise to the residence of Tianyu, so for the scale of the ancient imperial city, the prosperity and beauty can not help but sigh, looking back again and again.
The full moon was moved by the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, and she was very happy, and she had forgotten all the things on the mountain, and she was completely lifeless, talking and laughing with Qingyu all the way, but she put her senior brother Meng Taihua to the side. Yingyue is already lively and active, but Meng Taihua is calm and calm, often tired of Yingyue's long words, Qingyu is also a lively and active person, and Yingyue is very compatible at first sight, a few words and Yingyue is like a perennial old friend, this should be a good thing for Meng Taihua, I am not afraid that my sister will annoy me again, and I can think about a lot of questions. But at this time, his psychology was unbalanced, he felt that his junior sister had neglected him, and he wanted to say a few words to his junior sister, but he couldn't interject into the words, his face was cold and angry, and the mood to see the scenery was completely gone, and he just walked with his head stuffy all the way. Qingyu knew that he was angry at a glance, but pretended not to know, who wanted him to take his beloved sword.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance of flowers came, and Yingyue said happily: "It's so fragrant, there must be a flower seller in front, let's go quickly and buy a few." After speaking, he pulled Qingyu and hurried forward, although Meng Taihua was unhappy, he was helpless, so he had to follow.
There is really a small flower stall on the street in front, a girl in simple clothes is holding a bouquet of flowers to sell to passers-by on the street, seeing Qingyu and other three people coming, hurriedly took a large bouquet of very gorgeous wild roses and walked forward, smiled and said to Qingyu: "This son, look at your talent, extraordinary bearing, and then look at this girl's natural beauty, show off her wisdom, she is really a natural pair, make a pair of them!"
Yingyue said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! We just met today, and we don't know each other very well." But his face turned red as he spoke, and he reached out to get the bouquet of flowers. Qingyu smiled slyly at the girl who sold flowers, and said, "You are also very good-looking! He took Yingyue's outstretched hand and said, "Let's go look at other flowers, this flower is too delicate and charming, not suitable for your delicate and gentle character." He walked to the flower stall and picked up a bouquet of lilies and said, "This flower is really beautiful, noble and cheerful, bright and fragrant, just like you." "Hand the flower to the full moon.
Yingyue took the flower and said with a smile: "Junyu, you are really oily and smooth, you don't want to buy me roses, but you take a bouquet of lilies to prevaricate me, and you speak in a high-sounding manner, what a slippery head." But the lilies are not bad, I have to buy other flowers, and you have to dig up the silver, which you gave me. ”
Qingyu said: "Okay! No problem, you can pick it well." ”
The flower girl's words at the beginning had made Meng Taihua very angry, and seeing that Qingyu pulled the full moon to pick flowers and was full of words, she couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "If you have silver, I don't have it?
Qingyu hurriedly explained: "Brother Meng, I didn't mean that, I just saw that Miss Sikong liked it, so I was willing to buy it and give it to her, I really don't mean anything else." Qingyu didn't want to offend Meng Taihua like this and disrupt his plan to lead him to the Tianshan Mountain, so she had to succumb to say a few words of apology.
Yingyue said: "Senior brother, what are you angry about, Junyu just wants to send a bouquet of flowers, besides, I also asked him to buy this flower, if you are not happy, I won't buy it, hum!" After speaking, he threw the flowers on the stall and turned around to leave.
Meng Taihua hurriedly said: "Senior sister, if you like to spend it, I will buy it for you, why do you want Brother Liang to break the bank?"
Yingyue was still angry, and said: "Okay, senior brother, if you like to pay, you can buy it all for me, but you have to bring it all to me, I don't have the strength to take so many flowers." Qingyu and the girl who sold flowers not only laughed when they heard it, these flowers are not heavy, but there are a lot, imagine, a big man holding a large bundle of flowers behind a pair of young boys and girls, what a ridiculous scene, such a stupid like Meng Taihua will never do, he knows that his sister is deliberately embarrassing him, but he doesn't want to quarrel anymore, so the two of them are unhappy all the way, so he has to take a step back and say: "Okay, junior sister, don't be petty, you like that kind of flower, senior brother, I'll buy it for you, don't be angry." ”
He let Bu Yingyue but refused to stop there, and said: "If you want to buy it, you can buy it all, otherwise don't buy a bouquet, someone will send me flowers, Junyu, do you say yes?"
Qingyu was in a dilemma, so she had to smirk: "This, this...... Of course ......"
At this point, Meng Taihua was helpless, snorted, stepped aside, and ignored the two of them.
Qingyu saw that the senior brother and sister vomited, if they don't reconcile from it, I'm afraid they won't have a good time along the way, but how to reconcile it? When she was in trouble, she suddenly saw a sedan caravan coming from the street, Qingyu's eyes turned to her heart, and she had to ease the atmosphere first, so she said to Yingyue: "This flower, I can't buy it for you today, it has to be funded by Brother Meng, but I can invite the two of you to the drunken fragrance house in front of you to have a meal, where the wine and food are famous in the whole city, and everyone knows it well, but I won't dig the money for this meal." ”
Yingyue was a little angry at first hearing him say that he didn't buy flowers for herself, but when she heard him say that she didn't pay for dinner, she felt strange and asked: "Eat without paying, do you want to eat the 'overlord meal'?" Hmph, I want to go to you, I won't do such a shameful thing." ”
Qingyu smiled slyly and said, "Of course not, I'm going to ask this girl to invite the three of us to dinner." As he spoke, he pointed to the flower girl next to him.
Yingyue smiled: "Do you think this girl is a fool and will invite us for no reason? I think you are stupid and crazy." ”
Qingyu smiled: "Of course, it's not for no reason, but for a reason." Then he looked at the flower seller and said, "Girl, how many taels of silver do you want to sell these flowers?"
The flower girl thought for a moment and said, "Twenty taels, twenty taels is enough." ”
Qingyu frowned slightly after hearing this, these flowers are not worth a tael of silver, but he was not moved, and said with a smile: "Okay, just twenty taels, later, I will sell these flowers for you, and with the extra money, you can invite us to dinner, as a reward?"
When the flower girl heard this, she liked it and said, "That's good!" It's really rare to invite others to listen to the meal and be so happy.
When the sedan team was about to arrive in front of the flower beach, Qingyu picked up a large bouquet of flowers and walked to the front of the team and shouted to sell flowers, blocking the way of the sedan car. ”
Qingyu smiled and said: "Master, you are good, buy a bouquet of flowers, these are all high-quality goods, you see this bouquet is glamorous but not delicate, flashy but not charming, the center of the flowers is like you, buy a bouquet." ”
The housekeeper said: "Your flower can also be called a flower in the center, I really laughed off my big teeth, hum, what a broken flower, take it away quickly, don't take the time of my master, and also miss your own life, get out, get out." Qingyu still didn't leave, looked at the sedan chair, and the housekeeper scolded angrily: "The dead boy is looking for a fight." Hudi raised his hand and scraped straight towards the door of Qingyu's face, Yingyue saw that the person was going to beat Qingyu and said loudly: "Hey, how can you hit someone casually, stop it." As he spoke, he was about to step forward to stop him, but Meng Taihua snorted and turned his face away when he saw it. Qingyu saw that she was about to be beaten, and she raised her arm to cover it and begged for mercy: "Uncle, don't do it, don't do it, I'll go, I'll go." The body flashed back, and the butler slapped into the air, and then the whole thin body also lay on the ground, raising a puff of dust, and everyone was shocked, but they didn't know that the butler who was standing firm fell for no reason, and fell very hard, and couldn't stand up for a while. Qingyu waited for the dust to fall, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the housekeeper and said, "Uncle, are you okay, I'll go, I'll go." After the housekeeper got up, his face was covered with dirt, and he pointed at Qingyu angrily, and shouted: "Quick, quickly beat this stinky boy away for me, quickly beat him away." Two strong men came up next to him and said "yes", and then forced Qingyu over.
Qingyu retreated, while shouting "spare life...... but the two strong men didn't listen, rolled up their sleeves and raised their hands to beat, suddenly a voice shouted: "What's going on outside, so noisy?" At the end of the voice, a middle-aged man with great blessings came out of the sedan chair, and the housekeeper saw that he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Back to the master, there is a wild boy who sells flowers blocking our way, and I am driving him away." ”
The middle-aged man hummed and asked, "Where is the flower seller?" The housekeeper hurriedly pointed to Qingyu who was three feet away, and said, "It's there." ”
The middle-aged man couldn't help but open his eyes, and said strangely: "What a loud voice!" made the housekeeper inexplicable.
Do you know why this middle-aged man stepped out of the sedan chair and said, "What a loud voice?" He was argued by Qingyu to get off the sedan chair.
Qingyu used "amplification" to transmit the sound into the sedan chair when arguing with the housekeeper, and at the same time increased the sound brightness by five times, the people outside listened to Qingyu's voice flat, the middle-aged man in the sedan chair was like thunder, and he couldn't sit still anymore, he thought that the person who quarreled was outside the sedan chair was a person with a very loud voice, so he thought that this person was more than three feet away from himself, why not be surprised?
The strong man saw the old man get off the sedan chair, and the hand raised in the air stopped, and it didn't fall, Qingyu took the opportunity to take a step to the left and bypassed the two, and quickly walked in front of the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Master, buy a bouquet of flowers, today is the "Tianjiao Festival" If you don't send flowers to your wife and daughter, it will be very unlucky and unlucky." ”
The middle-aged man said strangely: "'Tian Jiaojie', why haven't I heard of it, Yan Rong?"
The housekeeper pondered for a moment and replied: "Answer master, the little one has never heard of any "Tianjiao Festival". ”
Qingyu hurriedly smiled and explained: "It is such a lord, this festival is from the south, which means 'wife, daughter, lover, good match to add delicate and moving', this festival is very popular in the south, every night the full moon, the husband holds flowers in front of his wife and children, and then the family admires the moon together, prays for the moon, tastes tea and family words, has its own romantic mood, here is also a fusion of husband and wife feelings, father and daughter affection, a night of sleep, get up early but see the wife added three points of coquettishness, seven points of brilliance, a big victory yesterday. ”
The middle-aged man was very happy when he heard this, and said happily: "Good, good, good, really good festival." Then he frowned slightly and said: "I see that your flowers are not very good, I have a big garden at home, and the strange flowers in it are the best in heaven and earth, but they are much stronger than the flowers in your hands, I better go home and pick them." ”
He had already taken precautions against this love jade, and said with a smile: "This is wrong, master, you think, the flowers at home are just like the original color of your wife and daughter, you give your own flowers to your wife and children, it is not equivalent to pouring a small cup from the left cup into the right cup, the original amount is not increasing or decreasing, then what is it called'Tian Jiao', only when you buy flowers from the outside is really more beautiful." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded again and again: "It makes sense, it makes sense, I buy it, what kind of flowers do you have?"
Seeing that he was deceived, Qingyu said happily: "There are many varieties and all kinds of patterns, all of which are famous and extremely colorful." He took the middle-aged man's hand and walked to the front of the flower beach, and said: "These are the four beauties, Xi Shi Ju, Diao Chan Lotus, Shao Junlan, Guifei Hong, and the Merry Queen Feiyan Peony, and this is also the opera dream lily, May Tianjiao and ......"
The middle-aged man was very happy when he heard the name of the flower, but the color was mediocre. People always like to draw a name auspicious and beautiful, whether the thing is really good, it doesn't matter, so he said: "Okay, okay, I can't remember these names, you don't need to say, I bought all these flowers, you write the name of each flower for me." ”
Qing Yuxi said: "Okay, okay." Then he found a pen and paper to write the name, and said with a smile: "Master, it's all right, a total of one hundred taels of silver." ”
The middle-aged man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "What, you have to sell these flowers for a hundred silver, I think you are crazy." I buy it elsewhere, it's not worth a tael, you think I'm a fool? You're a fool, you want to fool me, there is no door. ”
Qingyu was not annoyed when she heard him scolding, but still smiled and said: "Master, do you know what it means that affection is priceless? A friend of mine went bankrupt on the streets last year in order to buy a superb rose for his sweetheart. You are a wealthy family, and you are not willing to pay a hundred taels, that is like a person with affection and righteousness? Then you can still ask the flower god to add beauty to your wife and daughter? Hmph! Excuse me, you please. I'm a man who doesn't sell my flowers to ruthless and unrighteous little instruments. After saying that, he turned his face away and ignored it, and a look of contempt appeared on his face.
The middle-aged man was so excited by Qingyu and said: "Who said that I am a ruthless and unrighteous person, my affection for my wife and daughter is deeper and heavier than anyone else." He is usually open-minded, and he is afraid of his wife, so he often vows to ask for pleasure again and again, how dare he let his wife hear others say that he is ruthless and unintentional.
Qingyu said contemptuously: "Yes?"
The middle-aged man said: "Of course, I bought all these flowers." Yan Rong, take one hundred and fifty taels to him, one hundred taels is to spend money, and fifty taels is a reward. Hmph!" he turned his face away with disdain.
The butler said, "This ...... The old man ......."
The middle-aged man glared and said, "If I tell you to pay, you will pay." ”
The housekeeper had no choice but to pay, and then the sedan team each carried a bouquet of flowers and walked home.
As soon as the sedan team left, Yingyue couldn't hold back any longer, hahaha laughed, and bent over with laughter. Qingyu and the girl selling flowers also laughed, Meng Taihua was angry just now, and wanted to hold back not laughing at this time, but he felt really funny, so the corners of his mouth bent and laughed, and the atmosphere was eased.
Qingyu walked up to the flower girl and said, "Your luck is really good, and you earned an extra fifty taels." Now invite us to dinner. As he spoke, he handed the money to the other party.
The girl who sold the flowers didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay." Then he asked, "Is there really a 'Tim Jiao Festival'?"
Qingyu said: "Yes, of course." It's just that I, Liang Junyu, created it myself, and the festival starts today. ”
Yingyue scolded with a smile: "Junyu, you are really an excellent big liar. If you go into business, you will definitely be rich. ”
The girl who sold the flowers said, "Since there is this festival from today, you might as well give this bouquet of roses to this beautiful girl, so that she can be even more beautiful." ”
Qingyu smiled: "Well, no, no. Then he said softly: "She, no better than the girl, at least two bunches, I think this bunch will be given to the girl." ”
The girl who sold flowers was very happy when she heard Qingyu praise herself for being more beautiful than the full moon, and her face slowly turned red. Although Qingyu's voice was small, it was still heard by Yingyue, and she said angrily: "Dead Junyu, do you dare to say that I am not as good as this girl? "When that's done, we have to do it.
Qingyu hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." Seeing that Yingyue was chasing after him, he hurriedly said, "Brother Meng save me." He hid behind Meng Taihua.
Meng Taihua raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, junior sister, don't be childish, let's go." Full Moon snorted, lowered her arms and ignored them, and took the flower girl's hand and walked forward.
Qingyu sighed and said: "Alas, it's better to be Brother Meng, I think only Brother Meng can control her now." ”
Meng Taihua said: "It's all your own fault, if you don't mess with her, how can she provoke you." ”
Qingyu understands that it means that she should not get too close to the full moon in the future. So he smirked, "That's nature, that's nature." ”
