Chapter 14: The Narrow Road (I)

He Jiangzhou really kept his word, and from that day on, he would come to visit Hu Buwei every day with gifts. Qin Suchu humbly thanked him a few days ago, but after He Jiangzhou feigned anger and blamed him a few times, he stopped talking. Hu Tan also gradually fell in love with this Uncle He, because every time he came, he couldn't forget to bring some delicious and fun things to the little doll.

Seeing that He Jiangzhou was talking and laughing, bold and sincere, he often worked tirelessly to take care of Hu Buwei together. Qin Su's good impression of him is also increasing day by day. She could see that this person was sincere to them, once Hu Buwei was attacked by the hot wind, and his snot did not stop, He Jiangzhou happened to be on the side, and his face did not change, and he personally wiped the dirt on his face with his hands. This matter won Qin Su's favor, and he finally withdrew his vigilance. When I talk to He Jiangzhou in the future, I will not answer questions like before, and I will be polite in my words.

If it is six or seven days later, He Jiangzhou has become a regular customer in the wing. Come and walk around every day, Qin Su also regards it as normal. He Jiangzhou was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that he had taken the right first step, his heart was sick, and he turned back to the former He Jiangzhou who could speak well, and he knew people's intentions with a subtle view, and he was even more comfortable dealing with Qin Su.

The days of peace have passed a little more under the impetus of those who have a heart and the tacit acceptance of those who have no intentions. After the small heat, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The whole He Mansion has changed into new summer clothes. Old Man He didn't forget the three guests who were guests, and the servants sent them a few sets of silk clothes, Qin Su got two fine green cloth large-sleeved shirts, two different colors of silk yarn embellished with Yingluo pleated skirts, shoes and socks and scarves not to mention, Hu Buwei father and son each had two sets of moon white silk shirts and pants.

Qin Su was very happy, and helped Hu Buwei to dress up after bathing. The old liar sat on the Taishi's chair, his face white and red. A few strands of long hair hung down from his chest, and his beard was jet-black. faintly has a little detached demeanor from the beginning. Qin Su was sad and happy at the same time, remembering the old things of the previous year, it was like a dream, and he had to shed tears again.

He Jiangzhou was triggered by his Lao Tzu, and took this opportunity to buy a lot of money, big bags and small bags, what makeup lens tapes, rouge gouache, all the ancient brains were bought and given to Qin Su. And in every possible way. wanted to lure Qin Su out to play, but Qin Su was worried about Hu Buwei and insisted on refusing to leave his side, so he failed several times.

How could the playboy be willing to be willing, if Qin Su refused to go out, his seduction plan would be stranded. So one plan failed, and a second plan was born.

This morning, Qin Sugang had just fed Hu Buwei porridge, and suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor outside the door. He Jiangzhou rushed in and shouted: "Ha! Happy event! Great happy event! Brother Hu is going to be blessed!"

Qin Su turned his face, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What is the big event?"

"I saw a Taoist outside, selling a few white beads called Taki Beads. It is said that it can be taken with wine, which is the best way to cultivate vitality, and it is very symptomatic for people who are cold and timid. You said. Isn't this bead a treasure to Brother Hu?"

Qin Su was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Ah, where is that man, and where is he now?"

"It's still outside. He Jiangzhou took a breath. He replied, "I heard him say it." I quickly stopped him and asked him to wait in the restaurant first, and I will come back to report to you. ”

"What are you doing with me!?" Qin Su stomped his feet and said hurriedly, "Wouldn't it be enough to buy it back directly......?" Isn't it...... Can't eat?!Hurry!Hurry!Run and buy it from him...... By the way, how much silver does he want?" Qin Su said as he took out the package and wrapped it around.

He Jiangzhou stopped her and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I hid him in the restaurant, and he was entertained with good wine and meat, and no one else could see him." ”

"It's just that the Taoist is stubborn, saying that spiritual things only help people in need, he is out of the way, not for wealth, just for marriage, I told him that there are soulless patients at home, but he refuses to believe it, so I came back to you, you know more about Brother Hu's symptoms than I do, maybe he believes your words. ”

Qin Su was still hesitating, but He Jiangzhou grabbed her sleeve and walked out: "Oh, don't think about it, if it's too late, you'll run away!"

Qin Su couldn't help but hurriedly walk out with him, while saying, "Wait! Wait! Let me settle Brother Hu first......

"No need to settle down!" He Jiangzhou didn't look back, and said to her, "I have already called someone to serve him." ”

"What?" Qin Su didn't know why, but he shouted to the door: "Come in, you can serve Uncle Hu." The four maidservants outside answered in unison, pushed open the door, and walked in with water, tea, face towels and other things. Qin Su didn't expect He Jiangzhou to be so well prepared, he had nothing to say for a while, and just thought: "What's the matter with him...... "I didn't suspect him, stopped talking, and ran out with him."

"You take care of him, don't make any mistakes!" After He Jiangzhou gave the order, he pulled Qin Su and hurried towards the outer courtyard. As he crossed the atrium, he rolled his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and stopped. asked Qin Su to wait in place, but he himself ran back to the wing room and hugged Xiao Hu Tan, who was still sleeping.

Qin Su asked him, "Why did you bring Tan'er too?"

"Tan'er has been holding back at home for a long time, take this opportunity, you should also let him come out to breathe, the child is already active and fun, don't let him stay stupid. ”

Qin Su heard that he was reasonable, so he didn't say anything. As soon as Xiao Hu Tan heard that his aunt was going to take him to eat fried cakes and jelly beans, he was even more sleepy, and his cheers made Qin Su even more unable to refute.

The three of them walked towards the morning sun and walked towards Qin Huai in the city.

From Hejiazhuang, go north for half a mile, and it is Tongqu Avenue. On the wide long street, merchants gathered, and the noise was deafening. It's not too late now, but it's bustling everywhere, and there are endless crowds of people.

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties of Jinling, the place where fireworks flourished, is its reputation vain? Not to mention that it is now in a troubled era, Jiangning Mansion is as precious as a peach blossom paradise outside the world, and the warriors and merchants everywhere are all vying to come. Qin Su asked He Jiangzhou to pull his sleeves and find his way forward in the crowd, listening to the noisy voices, and felt like a world away for a while.

The three of them turned left and right, and walked north for more than half an hour, and finally came to a restaurant by the Huai River. See a few big embroidered words on the Qingwan flag: Qingqin Restaurant. There are two rows of palace lanterns hanging at the front of the store, and the content of the pictures is also full of ancient beauty rhymes.

Qin Su knew that Qingqin was originally the name of a stunning woman in ancient times, and he saw the wine trick. Still thinking: The name of this restaurant is very chic, dare not let the shopkeeper of this restaurant love sex. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the shop, and two bright girls came up to greet the guests. He said: "Son Wanfu, Miss Wanfu, respect the walk in vain Gu Yi shop, it is a great joy, please go up to the second floor slowly, there is a seat in the private room." ”

Qin Su was amazed, he couldn't imagine that this restaurant would attract customers in such a way. When you enter the door, you can see that the hall downstairs is already full, and there are no empty seats. It seems that the restaurant business is doing very well. Among the hundreds of diners who were drinking and fighting, six or seven girls came and went lightly like butterflies wearing flowers, carrying wine and food to each table. It turned out that they were shop mates.

Seeing that Qin Su was surprised, He Jiangzhou smiled and said, "How is it, Miss Qin? This restaurant is distinctive, right? It is a signboard of Jiangning Mansion." Locals say that if you don't visit Qingqin in Jiangning Mansion, you can't swim through Jiangning Mansion. So I'll take you to see it. ”

Qin Su nodded and said, "Well, it's really different." Are their bartenders all women?"

He Jiangzhou replied: "Yes, even their shopkeeper is a woman, and you will be able to see it later." ”

While the two were talking, they went up to the second floor. The girl who was standing at the entrance of the building saw He Jiangzhou. Qi Zuoli said: "Childe is here, according to Childe's instructions, the wine and food have been prepared." Do you want to come up now?" He Jiangzhou said: "Don't be busy first, I'll call you later." Pull Qin Su to the right wing. Push the door in.

This spacious room features a wood-inlaid marble dining table in the center. A few mahogany stools are clustered around the sides. On the side of the street are four wooden windows, all open, look out but see the Huai River like a jade belt, from right to left through the window and flow. The boats and boats in the river are idle, and the sound of pulp is beautiful. At this time, there was a Taoist with a sallow face sitting at the table, fidgeting, seeing He Jiangzhou coming in, he seemed to be relieved, stood up and said: "Gongzi He, why are you here?! I'm still in a hurry...... I caught a glimpse of Qin Su who was following behind, and quickly swallowed the next sentence into his stomach.

He Jiangzhou's face changed a little, he peeked back, and saw that Qin Su's face was the same, so he coughed, and said in a tone: "Dao Chief, I bought medicine from you just now, but you didn't say anything, and now I will ...... the patient Family...... Bring it, let her tell you. ”

The man gave an 'oh', glanced at Qin Su, and stammered, "My medicine...... Only...... Only...... Sell to useful people, if ...... If you are not sick, give a daughter...... It is not sold either. Little lady...... ...... in your home Are there really any patients?"

Qin Su saw that he didn't call himself a "female benefactor" but a "little lady", and he was quite annoyed in his heart, but he was asking for him right now, but it was inconvenient to be sexual, and he immediately said: "Yes, Dao Chief, I have a brother who has suffered from soul separation due to a change and is now in pain. I heard that the Taoist chief had a magic elixir, and the little woman came to ask for it. I hope that the Taoist chief will save people, and he will raise his noble hand and sell the spirit bead to us, and my brother and the little woman will be grateful for Dande. ”

Dao said: "That's it...... My Baoyi Taki Pearl is not an ordinary thing, it is the South China Sea...... The divine object that grows out of the belly of the dragon is hard to find in the world. How many kings and grandsons in the capital are so rich that they want to pay thousands of dollars to buy them, I didn't agree. ”

Qin Su said: "This is natural, the divine object must be worthwhile, we are willing to pay the same price, and we will never let the Taoist return empty-handed." ”

Daodao: "This money, in fact, Lao Tzu ...... Uh, I don't care too much......"

"Lao Tzu?" Qin Su was taken aback when he heard him say vulgarly. I have never heard of a Taoist priest who calls himself 'Lao Tzu', could it be that this Taoist priest has reached such a point of informality? For a moment, his face was puzzled, and his eyes looked at the Taoist with a little vigilance. She didn't see that He Jiangzhou, who was standing behind her at this time, had already turned like a pig's liver.

The Taoist didn't realize it, and he was still talking triumphantly: "I, a Taoist, travel all over the world, and I am outside the square, what's the use of asking for so much money? I just think it's ...... Felt...... This one...... Mortal...... Belch...... Commoners...... He suffers a lot and is not as happy as we are...... No, no, what do you say, Gongzi He?" he turned his head and asked Xiang He Jiangzhou.

He Jiangzhou didn't expect him to have this question, and his face was red when he was 'Teng', and he was about to squeeze out blood.

The Taoist was frightened by his terrifying eyes, took a step back, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Uh...... Belch...... This one...... That was not what I meant...... I mean...... Mortal...... Mortal...... We are all sick, and we who are Taoist priests should be pity...... Be good to them, and cure them if there is medicine...... Even if those big officials and grandsons have money, I won't sell them to them. ”

Qin Su heard that he was full of mistakes and omissions, his sentences were completely disorganized, and the meaning of disbelief in his eyes was even worse. It's just that it's a big matter, and it's related to Brother Hu's health, and I'd rather think about things on the better side in my heart. said at the moment: "That is the Tao Chang and Virtue, caring about the suffering of the people in the world...... The little woman wants to borrow the treasures of the Taoist chief to take a look, but I wonder if the chief can agree?"

The man exhaled, wiped his face, and said, "Of course......, of course! Well, I mean, I'll sell you if you're sick, and I won't sell you if you're not sick......"

Qin Su frowned: "Why did we sell it to us when we were sick...... The Taoist really couldn't speak. I saw the Taoist priest take out a small package from his bosom and put it on the table where the wine and meat were in disarray.

The silk cloth was pulled away one by one, and four finger-sized milky white beads appeared. The beads were extremely round, almost all of the same size, and when they came together, they seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, emitting a faint soft glow.

"Is this Bao Yi Takizhu, can it really gather recovery energy?" Qin Su thought in his heart, and pinched one with his hand. The man didn't stop him, he only looked at He Jiangzhou, and was glared at by He Jiangzhou, and quickly lowered his head.

"Gongzi He, you can help me take a look. ”

He Jiangzhou withdrew his gaze from the window and inspected it with Qin Su. Qin Su looked at it for a moment, didn't know the point, and raised his head and asked the man: "The Dao chief said that these beads were made by the South China Sea Dragon, but I don't know how the chief got them?"

"I ......" The man opened his mouth, didn't know how to answer, and looked at He Jiangzhou again. He Jiangzhou turned his head and enjoyed the scenery outside the window again. The Taoist hesitated for a long time before he said, "Yes...... I fought such a big dragon, it took me three days and three nights to kill it. After answering, he asked Qin Su impatiently: "Hey, after asking so much, do you want it?!

"Yes, yes!" Qin Su said, she didn't really believe that this Dao Master could really kill the dragon alone. After thinking about it, he asked, "But I don't know how much silver I have to collect?"

"Since there is a sick person in your family, it is easy to say, just now this son begged me for a long time, and he was very affectionate, and I was also very moved, but in order to make sure that he did not deceive people, I asked him to go back and call you over...... So I won't take any silver, but for the sake of this son, I'll give you all the jewels. When the Taoist said this, he stepped forward and patted He Jiangzhou on the shoulder, and said, "The young man is kind-hearted, not bad! Not bad! There are not many good people like you in the world." After speaking, he didn't say goodbye to Qin Su, but walked away.

Qin Su saw him speak twice before and after, his demeanor was very different, and he was already strange in his heart. When I heard that he didn't want money, it was even more unexpected. "It turns out that he didn't want to cheat me out of money...... Qin Su muttered, "I blamed the good people for my mistake." ”

It's just that this Taoist chief speaks upside down, inconsistent, and full of wine and meat, and has no aura at all, which is really too much like a liar, and it is inevitable that people will be suspicious.

He Jiangzhou watched the man go out, and disappeared downstairs, and his tense face finally relaxed. Secretly exhaled, turned back to Qin Su and smiled: "This Dao Leader...... Speak seriously...... Seriously...... Funny, haha. ”

Qin Su nodded and said, "I heard him say that he killed the dragon, and I thought he was a liar. But I didn't expect him to want our money...... I was too careful. This Taoist chief is informal, broad-minded, and he is also a stranger in the rivers and lakes, alas, he is almost wrongly blamed. ”
