Chapter 309, The Strange Girl of the Altar
Chang'an Avenue is even narrow and sloping, green cow white horse seven incense car.
The jade chariot crossed the main house, and the golden whip flocked to the Hou family.
The West City is the commercial center in the city of Chang'an, during the Tang Dynasty, the national strength is strong, the majesty is flourishing in all directions, the merchants from all over the world are gathered here, the Chang'an City has set up two square markets in the east and west, the east and west cities are compared, the east city is closer to the imperial city and the Xingqing Palace, so there are many dignitaries and dignitaries living in the east market. It has become a rich and noble place, but it is different in the West Market, which is the most economically developed place in the world. It was the starting point of the Silk Road, so the caravans also took this as the starting point, and the commodity economy of the West Market reached an unprecedented prevalent situation.
When Shi Yunyang and the others came to the West Market, they found that high walls had been built around the West Market. It's like a secluded place. Entering from the entrance of the archway, I found that the West Market is really prosperous and unimaginable, with a group of shops and signboards like dense leaves in the forest. As soon as you walk in, you won't feel the relaxed atmosphere of Suzaku Street, and there is a lot of rubbing in the western market. There is a sea of people as far as the eye can see. The sounds of solicitation are mixed together, and they are very noisy, but in this noisy sound, people can feel the liveliness of this West Market.
Passing through the crowded crowd, the group walked for a long time before they came to a street of a wine shop, Yue Wuyan led the way, and a few people didn't ask much, but they just followed her all the time, Shi Yunyang took Ran Tianluo's hand, for fear that she would be scattered by the crowd. Half an hour later, Yue Wuyan finally stopped in front of a restaurant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the restaurant of the sister, you wait a while, I will come when I go. Yue Wuyan said.
Han Lun said: "The shopkeeper of the moon, please take care of it, we will wait." Yue Wuyan bowed her head to express her gratitude, then lifted her dress, led Qiuyun and Qiuling to the two, trotted up the steps step by step, and disappeared into the hallway. I am afraid that there is nothing more fortunate to see your loved ones after a great disaster.
Everyone just looked at this restaurant, this restaurant is very exquisitely decorated, vermilion lacquer pillars, clear yellow satin, carved railings and painted walls, eaves such as flying, guests in and out of the hall, there are several small people standing on a row of stairs outside the door, welcome in and out, smiling faces. Judging from the pomp and circumstance of this restaurant, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
After a while, I saw a dignified and thin woman striding out of the vermilion door, wearing a loose Bo belt, revealing snow-white shoulders and plump doubles. There were still tears on his face, and at first glance, he knew that he was in a hurry and didn't have time to change his outfit. The woman's long skirt dragged on the ground for a long time, swaying like waves with the woman's steps.
"How many guests are here?" said the woman as she approached Xu Xu and saluted, the moon fan clasped over her chest.
Everyone nodded, and the woman lifted her skirt slightly, and her body suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed to everyone. Everyone was shocked, Han Lun reached out to help, and said, "Girl, what are you doing here?"
The woman said: "The little woman is the owner of this Wuhu Restaurant, and her sister is in trouble, but fortunately she has been helped by a few righteous people, so this is the time when our sisters meet." This grace and righteousness are like re-creation. There is no retribution, please accept the little girl's worship. After saying that, he was about to say goodbye, Han Lun hurriedly helped her up, and with a slight skill in his hand, he helped Yue Chengcheng up.
Han Lun said: "And the last thing, we are all deeply sympathetic, but it can be regarded as a disaster to avoid disaster." Your sister is fine, that's fine. We have done very little, and it is not enough to worry about it. ”
Yue Chengcheng shook his head and said, "Life is in the world, but it is only a few decades. How can the money be earned, the sister is fine, this is the greatest luck, is to let the little woman take all the five lakes restaurant to help the poor, in exchange for the life of the sister, the little woman will not hesitate. ”
Ran Tianluo said: "You and your sister have such a good relationship, it's really enviable." Yue Chengcheng smiled and said, "A few guests also invited in to eat a few glasses of water and wine, so that the little woman could enjoy the friendship of the landlord." Please. ”
Han Lun said: "You're welcome, Boss Yue, please." ”
Everyone stepped on the stairs with the moon, and as soon as they stepped into the door of this restaurant, they heard a strong cheer. Han Lun asked curiously, "Why is it so lively?"
Yue Chengcheng said: "There is a strange person in the restaurant today, who is outstanding in his thinking, plays the piano well, and writes well, and the ink painting and musical instruments seem to be all comprehensible. I'm playing against someone at the moment, and it looks like I've won another game. ”
Han Lunqi said: "There is such a person, I must see it." Han Lun pushed aside the crowd of people, and suddenly saw seven or eight tables in the hall arranged in a ring, each table had a game of chess, and on each of the eight tables there was a man on the side of the chess game, holding a chess piece in his hand and meditating. In the center of these eight tables, a woman in green clothes was holding a child in her hand, and it fell gently, and suddenly there was thunderous applause.
Han Lun looked at it, the woman had just made a move to level Sanqi, and when a son fell, she took out more than 20 chess pieces from the sunspot's country, and a large piece suddenly vacated in the chessboard, and all the vertical and horizontal of the sunspot had almost been cut off. It is difficult to become a climate again, and it is obviously a defeat. The chess pieces in the man's hand suddenly landed, and the man looked at it stupidly for a long time, and found that there was indeed no turning point in this game, but he still didn't want to get up. The knuckles of his hands are all pinched and gurgling. It's like it's very difficult.
"If you lose, you lose, admit defeat"
"Hurry up and kowtow"
"Don't stay there, shame"
The people around him were gossiping, and they were all talking about the person who lost. The man gritted his teeth and said, "I lost, I am willing to gamble and lose!" With that, he raised his robe, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to the woman in green clothes. He got up quickly, angrily pushed through the crowd, and disappeared.
The crowd cheered loudly. Shi Yunyang and his party were shocked, the man had gold under his knees, how could he despise himself so much. The woman made a bet on it. It's really hateful.
Han Lun asked a scholar-like person next to him, "Brother Tai, what are they gambling on?"
The scholar was surprised: "You just came?"
Han Lun nodded, and the scholar said, "Don't you see, if these people lose, they will have to kowtow to her." ”
Han Lun said: "Then what if she loses?"
The scholar grinned and said, "Whoever wins her, she will marry him, this is what she said herself." But this woman is really good, playing against eight people at the same time, and still maintaining an absolute advantage. By now, four or five rounds have been played, and thirty or forty people have kowtowed. It's not easy. ”
Han Lun was shocked when he heard this, but he was slightly angry in his heart, it was really hateful that someone would gamble with his own marriage and other people's dignity. Han Lun looked at the only four chessboards left in the field, but the sunspots on them were all in danger.
"Go to May Fourth. ”
Han Lun looked at a chessboard in front of the woman in green clothes and muttered. Sure enough, the woman happened to fall into the position of going to May Fourth. The man was dumbfounded. I was so anxious that tears fell from my eyes. Han Lun sighed in his heart, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's actually very simple to turn the tables with this move, the lone army goes deep into a son, inserts it into the position of seven or eight, even if this son will be eaten, but it has formed a ring-like encirclement, this woman's white son will definitely return to the defense, eliminate the internal trouble, this time, the external chess pieces can take the opportunity to advance, although the woman is strong, but in the end, even if the white son gets the post of the black son eight eyes, he will definitely be able to win narrowly." There were so many people present, but no one noticed it. ”
As soon as the man lowered his head, the sunspot in his hand fell back into the chess box, and the man didn't say a word, slamming it on the table, and all the chess pieces suddenly trembled. The man kicked the stool away, knelt down, kowtowed three times quickly, and walked out of the Five Lakes Restaurant in hatred.
At this point, the woman turned from that game and dealt with another game. Only then did Shi Yunyang see her face clearly. This woman is dressed in light green and green clothes, with a graceful figure, revealing a pair of snow-scented shoulders. Melon seed face, red lips, eyebrows like crescent moon, fingers if shaved. Shi Yunyang was stunned for a moment, such a stunning woman, no wonder there are so many men who are eager for it, and they do not hesitate to gamble with dignity.
Suddenly, Ran Tianluo gently pulled Shi Yunyang's hand, Shi Yunyang and the others had been taken to the second floor by Yue Chengcheng, and it was very clear to see the games of chess from upstairs. Shi Yunyang was thinking about how to crack the last three games. was interrupted by Ran Tianluo.
"What's wrong?"
Ran Tianluo said: "Look at the woman's head. ”
Shi Yunyang looked at it as he said, and saw that the woman had a green waterfall like water, and a green hairpin was inserted in her bun, which was the spirit snake binding the moon.
Shi Yunyang was a little surprised, looked back at her, and said, "It seems that this hairpin is really not unique to your clan." ”
Ran Tianluo said: "I always feel that this woman is not simple. Shi Yunyang smiled and said, "Although there are many strange women in this world, not all of them can compare to you." ”
Ran Tianluo smiled lightly and was silent. Just kept looking at the chess game going on on the first floor.
After a while, the remaining three people also admitted defeat one after another, kowtowed and left. The woman straightened her dress and stood up slightly, ready to leave.
"Men kneel to the heavens, kneel to the ground, and kneel to kings, parents, and teachers. How can anyone casually kneel down to a woman. The girl despises the dignity of others so much, how can she feel guilty. ”
This speech was naturally Han Lun, as soon as he spoke, the entire lobby suddenly fell silent, and Shi Yunyang and Ran Tianluo were also startled.
"Han Gongzi is going to do this," Ran Tianluo said in surprise.
Luo Xiaocheng smiled and said, "There's a good show to watch now." ”
The woman turned around, smiled, and said, "Childe wants to challenge, if you can win me, I will naturally go with you." ”
Han Lun said: "Okay, then I'll play a game with you." One-on-one, if I lose, not only will I kowtow, but I will also give it five thousand taels of silver. If the girl loses, she doesn't have to commit herself, she just needs to accompany the challengers. ”
The woman looked at Han Lun, smiled, and said, "Okay, I agree." If I lose, I will not only apologize, but also marry you. ”
