Chapter Seventy-One: Gusu Xing
"Yesterday, the two of you were very drunk, and you still have to take me to burn yellow paper and worship together. Ying Ning glanced at him vividly, if the two of them become brothers and sisters in the rivers and lakes, then how should they deal with the marriage in the future? The way of filial piety and righteousness is similar, if they become righteous brothers and sisters, then there can be no more such thoughts.
"Bowing?" Liu Jian frowned, suddenly a little confused, yesterday's scene can vaguely have a rough outline in his mind, but he didn't find the picture of the two burning yellow paper and kowtowing. "I swore goodbye to Brother Xiao?"
"That's right, yesterday you drank so much wine, you couldn't do anything? You almost kowtowed and drank a glass of wine and got married. Ying Ningjiao smiled, got out of bed and tidied up some clothes, covered her veil again, and walked out of the door with a copper basin. "I'm going to get some hot water, do you want to sleep again?" ”
"I'm not sleepy, what about Big Brother Xiao?"
"I came here an hour to say goodbye, saying that there are still some important matters to deal with, if you look for him in the future, go to Gusu Xiao Mansion and say your name as Brother Chun. ”
"Gusu?" Liu Jian lay on the bed in a large shape, that is, the Xiao Mansion in Suzhou, he was from Suzhou, his heart was full of thoughts, but he was also a little worried. Worried about nothing else, he actually formed a brother with this middle-aged man surnamed Xiao, although the words between the two were cheerful, but the result surprised him a little.
Becoming brothers, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, life and death are shared, wealth and wealth must not be forgotten, and generally those who know the roots and have deep friendships can worship. Xiao Yuannan knew everything he should know, after all, he didn't have any secret past, but Liu Jian didn't remember when he heard Xiao Nanyuan mention his origins.
Xiao Nanyuan, martial arts are unfathomable, judging from his dress, he is not a poor person, and there are two sword boys following him, this should be a master of the martial arts 'big family'. I talked with him for a day yesterday, and I knew in my heart that he was not a decent person, because he had scolded the heads of the Zen and Taoist families for being mediocre, and he had also said that the nuns of Shuiyue Nunnery liked to steal men.
If it's not decent, it must be...... Thinking that he worshipped a master of the evil sect as a big brother, this made him feel a little uneasy for a while.
That's it, since the two can talk so speculatively, it can be regarded as like-minded. No matter what kind of good and evil sect he is, he will not be as good as his master in the future, and there is no rule that he has to be a decent person to do it.
Yingning came out, in the morning light shining outside the window, the delicate and beautiful body was wrapped in a layer of faint light, Liu Jian pillowed his hand on the bed, and couldn't help but look a little stupid.
It is the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, but the beauty can eliminate the sorrow.
Thinking of the beauty, I naturally remembered Yuanyuan, and Liu Jian's heart was a little empty after not seeing her for a few days, I don't know how she is now, whether she will still sleep peacefully on the bed.
Liu Jian asked Zhang Qing and Mr. Lang Mei to protect Feng Manlou, especially to protect Yuanyuan in his house, as long as she was fine, Liu Jian didn't feel that the sky could fall. He is not here, and I don't know if Feng Manlou will have some chaos, so he doesn't have to think about it at this time, after all, if he really walks the rivers and lakes in the future, he will have to be the shopkeeper a few times.
Pulling Yingning to play on the bed for a while, and by the way, he practiced a little internal breath, and Brother Xiao also said that he would help him find a way to solve the problem of Tongzigong, which made him inexplicably look forward to it. After all, Yingning will be mature in two years, and she has the blessing of internal breath, and her body grows rapidly every day.
Fun comes first, age, not a problem.
Enjoying Yingning's service, the soft little hand gently pressed against his face, making him just want to take it in his mouth and play with it. It's just that this young and ignorant girl can be his teaser, in case of provoking fire, she can't really make fun of herself, and it's herself who is uncomfortable.
Cursing the old beggar again, Liu Jian unexpectedly found that he had been settled by Xiao Nanyuan when he checked out, which could be regarded as a little care for his righteous brother.
Liu Jian didn't care either, it was just a few dozen taels of silver, but his heart couldn't help but be warm, there was such a sworn brother, it was actually not bad.
The carriage drove straight to Suzhou City, a prosperous city where the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River gathered, and it was also the place where the trade routes converged and the river transportation flourished. The antique city gate all the way, there is water and land inside, there is no river in the city of Yuecheng, but here it is the river vertical and horizontal.
Vendors on both sides of the street set up stalls, and when you enter the city gate, you will be a bustling neighborhood, pedestrians come and go, and the business is also hot. There are also boat-based stalls on the river, selling fresh fish and crafts. There is a bridge after a few steps, and a few steps are all the way, and the carriage is already inconvenient, and you can only walk to enjoy this scenery.
The old Li who was driving the carriage stopped the carriage in the inn near the city gate, and Liu Jian took Yingning to take care of himself. Lao Li is a coachman and not an entourage, so he can't let people bring tea and water, and he is by his side.
"Rock sugar gourd!
"Fat Cake! Crystal clear fat cake! If it's not delicious, it costs money!"
Walking in the bustling streets, Yingning ran around happily, the daughter's house in this era had very few opportunities to go shopping, even if it was rouge gouache, there were special alleys to provide them with a place to go.
Liu Jian couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and she pulled her to look around on the street, from the candy man and cloth toys that children like, to the fragrant powder from the Western Regions and the fruits from Lingnan, the novelty of Ying's gaze and the joy of natural play.
Entering a street that specializes in silk Suzhou embroidery, it is a real pity to come to Suzhou and not see Suzhou embroidery. It's just that Liu Jian's Su embroidery in his previous life was too precious, he had only heard of it but had never seen it, and he didn't know if the craftsmanship at this time was as exquisite as his previous life.
"This thread is so fine, this painting is so lifelike, how do you embroider it?"
Yingning will naturally be red, and Rouyi touched the clearly priced Su embroidery, and sighed for a while. And Liu Jian, who was negotiating with the shopkeeper on the side, turned his head to see that her white greasy skin was smoother and smoother than the fine silk.
"Our shop has a history of hundreds of years, and we pay three pieces of cloth to the palace every year, so we don't sell much. Doing business has always been in accordance with this rule, and it is not a matter of how much money there is. "The shopkeeper is a middle-aged beautiful woman, who is also beautiful and refined, and has her own charm when she was young.
Liu Jian frowned for a while, and said for a long time, this eldest sister was only willing to sell them three feet of cloth, which was only enough for Yingning to make a small gown, but Liu Jian wanted to make a few long skirts for her. Although three feet of cloth is one thousand taels of silver, Liu Jian doesn't care about silver taels at this time, let alone wants to buy some for Yuanyuan.
"Sister, one horse is only 10,000 taels of silver, I can send someone to get it immediately. Liu Jian tried to arouse the motherhood of this eldest sister with a bitter face, in order to make his woman happy, he did not hesitate to sell his hue.
"Don't worry, little boy, I still have a few rules in this store. This beautiful woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and hired out behind the counter, the delicate and plump figure naturally has the unique charm of a mature woman, horizontal jade hook, rich and enchanting, but also an intoxicating stunner.
"What rules?"
"The first is not to sell Su embroidery to people who are not elegant; second, not to sell the people who fight and kill in the rivers and lakes; and third, not to sell the local tyrants and rich people. ”
Liu Jian was suddenly full of resentment, and said in his heart, is his nouveau riche temperament so obvious?, "How can it be those local tyrants and rich people who are elegant and elegant...... Coming from Yuecheng, I don't know if my sister has heard that there is a Fengmanlou in Yuecheng. ”
"Feng Manlou has a good reputation in Suzhou and Hangzhou in recent years, just because there is a talented person with unparalleled talent and poetry, many literati in Suzhou and Hangzhou go to admire. ”
The beautiful woman said this, and then her eyes lit up, looking at Liu Jian from head to toe, and the brilliance in her phoenix eyes became brighter and brighter.
"In Xia Bucai, he is the talented person in my sister's mouth, Brother Fengmanlou Chun. ”
"Is it really you?"
Mei Jiaoniang snorted lightly, and then ran back to the counter and turned out a portrait of a young man wearing a square scarf and shaking a thin fan, but his appearance was five or six points similar to Liu Jian. "Why am I so familiar with you, it turns out to be Brother Chun and Prince Chun of Feng Manlou. Please sit down here. ”
Liu Jian couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, there should be a drama in today's matter of asking for cloth.
Mei Jiao Niang beckoned the two to sit down on the side, Ying Ning still looked at the Su embroidery with some reluctance, and several girls brought tea and pastries, still not forgetting to point fingers at Liu Jian for a while.
"This is really strange, when did Chun Gongzi come to Suzhou Mansion? If those geniuses know, it is estimated that you will not be able to move an inch. ”
"Then please ask my sister to cover up for me a few times," Liu Jian smiled, and took Yingning's little hand and said, "She likes the scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I took her out to relax while I was okay a year ago." ”
The woman smiled and said: "This sister is really a blessing, she can be favored by the son of Chun, I don't know how many talented girls I envy." ”
"Hmm. Yingning was naturally shy, not knowing how to respond, but her eyebrows were full of sweetness. Liu Jian replied with a calm smile: "My sister is serious, I just like to do some poetry, a real talented person, that is with the talent of governing the country and the heart of serving the country." ”
"Whether you are talented or not, I don't know you yet. For those poems you made, my sister and I collected fifty-two poems, and I have seven original paper notes, I didn't expect to see you today, so I have to make up those forty-five poems. ”
Liu Jian's face was bitter, did he meet a 'hardcore fan'?
Of course, this is just a joke of a beautiful woman, but in recent years, Liu Jian's talent has been a household name in Suzhou and Hangzhou, just because the poems he plagiarized are all swan songs for the ages, which can withstand the experience of red dust, and the big waves wash the sand, and naturally have a unique charm.
With the sentence "There are no colorful butterflies flying wings, and the heart is a little clear" changed a dress for Yingning, there is indeed not much Su embroidery here, and Liu Jian can only think about when to bring Yuanyuan over again. After tailoring the clothes, he asked the two to pick them up the day after tomorrow, which was originally said to be good for poetry in exchange, but Liu Jian also forced two thousand taels of silver tickets.
Ying Ning saw these in her heart, and naturally she was happy in her heart, although she was not a vain person, but there was a man who could be so generous to her, how could the girl's heart be calm.
The two played in the downtown area, walked through the streets and alleys, and walked to a willow-like riverside. The river is wide, sparkling, the water is not rippling, and the spring breeze has not passed. There are three or five small boats swinging on the river, and the realm above them is fascinating.
Yingning pulled Liu Jian and said coquettishly: "Young Master Chun, shall we find a boat to sit on?"
"Okay, let's call the husband to listen. ”
"Husband...... Don't be ashamed!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Jian walked away proudly, naturally in high spirits, and with a swing of the paper fan in his hand, he walked to the port over there.
"Boatman, can you take us on the river? ”
