Chapter 14: Fireworks
After Xu Xian cleaned up the newly bought yard, he took Xiaoqing back to his sister's house, leaving Ding Li and Bai Bat to prepare for the opening of the pharmacy.
"Hanwen, you said you spent thirty taels of silver to buy a shop?"
Xu Jiaorong couldn't believe it, this thing sounded too unreal.
"Sister, that yard is said to be haunted, so it was sold cheaply. ”
"Haunted? Hanwen, that shop is haunted, you still buy it?"
Xu Jiaorong felt that his brother was really ignorant, everyone said that it was haunted, and you bought it back.
"Sister, don't worry, I am cultivating in Qingcheng Mountain, and I have learned a few spells, and that little ghost has been subdued by me. ”
Xu Xian said that he had subdued the little ghost, which made Xu Jiaorong a little unconvinced.
"Hanwen, did you really subdue the imp in that shop?"
Xu Xian nodded, Xu Xian didn't want to say more about these things, after all, Xu Jiaorong was not a cultivator, and it was useless to say more.
"Sister, don't worry. I'm going to pick a date and open my business. ”
Xu Xian's face was confident, which made Xu Jiaorong feel at ease.
"Hanwen, your brother-in-law also said to show you to see where there is a suitable shop, but I didn't expect you to run into it as soon as you went out, it's really lucky. ”
Xu Jiaorong said that this was Xu Xian's luck, but Xu Xian didn't think that if he didn't cultivate, then this luck would come, and he wouldn't have a problem.
After dinner, Xu Xian took Xiaoqing towards the land of wind and moon in Hangzhou.
Hangzhou is extremely prosperous at this time, there are many merchants, and the goods are abundant, it is really gold and silver, and it is a place of great treasures!
"Xu Xian, look at these people, all of them have thousands of dollars in their pockets, they are really rich. ”
Xiaoqing was right, at this time, the imperial court was in the southeast, and in order to resist the invasion of the Hu people in the north, it had to vigorously develop commerce and trade. In this way, every family in Jiangnan is a businessman, and everyone is proud of making money. It's just that the prosperity of commerce has made the armament sluggish, and no one is proud of the military, and the Northern Expedition has become a sigh.
"Xiaoqing, look at this city of Hangzhou, everyone is drunk and dreaming of death, but they don't know that a catastrophe is coming, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Xu Xian's sigh attracted the attention of a beautiful woman upstairs next to him, this scholar was a little strange, he came to this place of fireworks, and he actually brought his female dependents, which was really surprising.
"Childe, everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, why don't you go upstairs, rest when you get drunk, and don't care about the changes in the world?"
The words of this beauty upstairs made Xu Xian look up, this beauty has eyebrows like a crescent moon and eyes like spring water, and it is indeed a Jiangnan woman, like jasper on the shore, swaying and colorful.
Xiaoqing became excited as soon as she saw someone calling her.
"Xu Xian, this sister is so gracious, how about we go up and have a look?"
Xiaoqing is not a big deal to see the excitement, which makes Xu Xian a little headache, Xu Xian has already noticed, this girl seems to be very famous, otherwise, how can the guests downstairs be so peaceful?
"Childe, my young lady is invited. ”
A pretty maid walked down and said to Xu Xian, which made Xu Xian unable to retreat.
"Thank you for your kindness, and ask the girl to lead the way. ”
Xu Xian's scholarly appearance made Xiaoqing feel very interesting, so he leaned into Xu Xian's ear and said.
"Xu Xian, you look like a nerd. ”
Xiaoqing's teasing made Xu Xian very helpless, and when he saw that the maid leading the way in front of him couldn't help laughing, he glared at Xiaoqing.
"Don't be naughty. ”
Xu Xian and Xiaoqing went upstairs, and the guests downstairs all looked like they were watching a good show, who didn't know that the red-sleeved girl was the most picky?
Xu Xian didn't know that the visitors downstairs were waiting to see his jokes, but as soon as he came upstairs, he felt that this master was a little interesting. Generally speaking, the women in this land of fireworks are either Qingqi people who sell their art but not their bodies, or they are red cards with the fragrance of meat, but this red sleeve is very special. It can be said that she is a clean person, but she is not so reserved, and she is not engaged in literary and youthful style; it can be said that she is a red card, but there are many rules, which makes people itch, and they can see but can't eat it.
"The red-sleeved girl, the little student Xu Xian, can't learn the romance of other people's sons, this is not only because of the shyness in the pocket, but also because of the lack of talent. ”
Xu Xian's opening made Red Sleeves laugh. At this time, Xu Xian discovered that the red sleeves were different from other women, that is, natural, unpretentious, it seemed that in this green building, it was like his own home, which was really strange.
Red Sleeves looked at Xu Xian with a strange look, and then looked at Xiaoqing with a curious face on the side, and smiled.
"Xu Xian, why did you come to this land of fireworks with your daughter?"
Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing didn't wait for Xu Xian to answer, so he got up and walked to the side of the red sleeves, and learned the appearance of the red sleeves, and suddenly there was a natural smell all over his body. This made Xiaoqing very happy, in the Qinglou brothel at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain before, those women were all pretentious and exaggerated, making Xiaoqing think that this was the beauty of women. But now, the natural demeanor of the red sleeves has suddenly brought Xiaoqing's style to a new level.
"Sister, we made a windfall today, so I proposed to come to this land of fireworks with him, spend all day drinking, and see the delicate water spirit of Jiangnan women. ”
Xiaoqing's opening made Red Sleeves stunned for a moment, and then smiled coquettishly.
"It turns out that my sister is the benefactor, but my sister has a lot of rules here, so I don't know if my sister can pass the test?"
As soon as Xiaoqing heard that there was a game to be played, she became happy.
"Sister, with Xu Xian here, everything is not a problem. ”
"yes, my sister is so optimistic about Xu Xian?"
Red Sleeves and Xiaoqing commented on themselves, which made Xu Xian a little helpless, and then took a sip of the tea on the table.
Good tea!
This tea is fragrant but not greasy, with a slightly bitter taste, which makes people drink it, and the heart is moisturized, and the faint bitterness makes people have an endless aftertaste.
Xu Xian's face was enjoyed, which made Red Sleeves feel very interesting.
"Xu Xian, what do you think of this tea?"
Xu Xian put down the teacup, looked at the red sleeves with an expectant face, and then looked at Xiaoqing with a curious face, knowing that Xiaoqing didn't understand anything, and was purely making trouble.
"Red-sleeved girl, this tea has a light aroma and a slightly bitter aftertaste, it is really the best. ”
Red Sleeves nodded, very satisfied with Xu Xian's evaluation.
"Tea, if it is just to quench your thirst, it is called cow drink, but if you taste it, you must drink it slowly. Tea is not tasted to quench thirst, but to wash the heart. In the world, there are too many disturbances, so people's hearts are covered with dust, and tea tasting is to wash away this heart dust. ”
Interestingly, this red sleeve has a bit of Zen flavor on it, or a bit of Taoist nature.
At this time, Xiaoqing was a little impatient, what Xu Xian and Red Sleeves said was like a breeze and a bright moon, extremely boring.
"Sister, let's talk about your rules. ”
As soon as Xiaoqing said this, Red Sleeves put away her smile and looked solemn.
"Sister, I have three levels here: one is tea tasting, the second is poetry, and the third is drinking. Tea tasting has just said, it is to wash the heart, Xu Xian can be regarded as passing. Next is poetry, I don't know if my sister can have poetry, can I make my sister tempted?"
As soon as the red sleeves finished speaking, Xiaoqing frowned, what kind of poetry, it's the most troublesome, people feel dizzy when they look at those words. Xiaoqing's eyes rolled, and he walked to Xu Xian's side and took Xu Xian's hand.
"Xu Xian, you are a nerd, you will definitely write poetry. ”
Xu Xian shook his head and broke free of Xiaoqing's hand.
"I'm not a scholar, I'm a doctor, even if I know how to write limericks, how can I make the girl in the red sleeves tempted?"
Xu Xian pushed four, five or six, which made Xiaoqing pout.
"Xu Xian, I don't care, anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
This thousand-year-old green snake is playing tricks, which is a headache.
"Well, I have a limerick here, and I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. ”
The literary style of the Wen Dynasty was at its peak, and it was indeed difficult for Xu Xian to get his hands on it, but seeing Xiaoqing's expectant look, Xu Xian had no choice but to make it difficult.
"The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is in March, and the spring rain is like wine and willows. There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but it is difficult to hold hands on the other side. Ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be slept together. If there is a thousand years of creation, the white head is concentric in front of you. ”
This song "Crossing Love", Xu Xian liked it very much in his previous life, and now he uses it to meet the occasion, which is good.
