Chapter 40 Selling Swords and Painting and Sleeping in the Green Building


Xu Fengnian went to stay in the city to kill people, but he came to Flying Fox City to find people.

Because Xu Xiao asked His Royal Highness the Prince to bring a message to that person, but Flying Fox City said that it was not very interesting, and it was definitely not a small one, Xu Fengnian was not familiar with the place, and it was so difficult to find a needle in a haystack.

The business of the restaurant was deserted, Xu Fengnian caught a glimpse of the inn guy who was about to watch the beautiful women coming and going outside the window, and he was tired of seeing it, so he sat on the next table and dozed off, tilted his head sideways, and covered his face with a wet towel to cool off the heat, Xu Fengnian was thinking about whether to ask another pot of tea, so he could open his mouth to ask, but he didn't expect the fat shopkeeper to look at the eight roads, and took the initiative to bring a pot of new tea to sit down, and said with a smile: "The person who comes is a guest, and the meeting is fate, this pot of tea is given to my son, no money, the tea is the Ming Qian tea transported from the old Southern Tang Dynasty, and I am usually reluctant to drink it, There are only two left, but I can't bear to put it down, and it will have a musty smell if I put it down.

The white fat shopkeeper spoke half-white and half-literate, Xu Fengnian hurriedly smiled and said some grateful polite words, although the little girl Tao Manwu, who was born quite well, was afraid of life, but there was no lack of courtesy, without Xu Fengnian to speak, he got up obediently and moved the bench to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was in a more comfortable mood, and poured three cups of tea after sitting down, and did not forget to give a share to the sensible Nizi, Tao Manwu looked at Xu Fengnian cautiously, and after seeing him nod, he held a cup and tasted tea carefully, and the shopkeeper looked at her skillful posture, I know that this pair of big and small people who only regard drinking tea as a vassal and elegant people, maybe it is a scholar who goes out to visit relatives or travels with relatives in Longjiao Prefecture, and pays attention to putting a long line to catch big fish in business, the shopkeeper is well versed in this, the inn is also a restaurant, the reason why he can hang a breath and live half alive is to rely on the support of those familiar customers who are not short of silver but have a good face, otherwise his family would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago, and there are not many others in Flying Fox City, that is, there are many green-skinned bastards, which family has made a living by opening the door to welcome guests, I have to bite off a piece of meat, how much it hurts to be called, but I can't afford to buy and sell a small business, and I can't bear six or seven forces that come to cut meat and pluck hair every month, these difficult little ghosts who show off their might behind the buttocks of the Lord of Yama, do not remember the good and don't miss the grace, a bad service, you have to be able to sprinkle the scourge, people are tired of it, if you say that the lawsuit, the God of Wealth has said that you want to make money in harmony, and who really has the courage and financial resources to deal with the cold-hearted official who is cold-hearted before There was a restaurant opened by outsiders on the street next door.

It is said that it is a fellow villager of the nephew of the brother-in-law of the concubine of the border Liupin guerrilla general, and the business is so good, he does not want to take out the filial piety silver of more than a dozen taels per month, and then there are dozens of bastards squatting at the door every day, and there can be guests who come to the door The owner of the restaurant is young and vigorous, and he goes to the government to shout grievances, and the people of Flying Fox City gather to bask in the sun, and they do not break the law, who is willing to take care of you and your family later moved out of the city, and was beaten by a group of masked people with a sack.

The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Listen to the accent, Childe is not a local" Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "The people who came to play in Gusaizhou said that they were studying tours with their families, but in fact, they were looking for opportunities to come out to see the world under the guise of looking for an opportunity, and there happened to be no elders around to nag, and when they heard about the name of Flying Fox City, they secretly rushed over." ” The shopkeeper showed a knowing smile that all men know, probably amused by the guest's uprightness, and said: "Ha, the son is a man of temperament, not bad."

There are four strange things in our Flying Fox City, one of which is that the Flying Fox Bitch is very affectionate, which is very rough, but it is also a big truth.

There are seventy or eighty Qinglou Goulan in the city, all of which are bottomless pits, but a penny of silver and a penny, the Fengyue women of Flying Fox City are worthy of this price, we are local men, we can't afford to go, Lao Sun I have been there a few times when I was young, I have to die to save face and suffer crimes, and I almost went bankrupt, if the son goes, Lao Sun can recommend a few, Jiang Bolou is undoubtedly the most famous, it is easy to want a hundred taels of gold and silver a night, and the dignitaries and dignitaries of Longjiao Prefecture like to drink flower wine there, If you want me to say, it is more affordable to Jiaqing Bottle Lane and those big green buildings, the women are beautiful, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the score is small, mainly because the fame is not enough, there is no confidence to shout out the sky-high price, many Qing Yan young girls, as long as there are good words and good songs, there are scholars to help advocate momentum, maybe a few years later it will be a celebrity in the stormy building, I know an old brother, six or seven years ago spent forty taels with a young girl in Bottle Lane for a night, childe guess what, Now it's already a red card in the stormy building, don't say what to do, it's just to meet and listen to a song with a bunch of people for ten taels of silver, although my brother is also considered to be a solid family, but he can't afford to eat her anymore, if the son has an acquaintance to lead the way, it will be twenty or thirty taels of silver a night, hey, look at Lao Sun's broken mouth, what is it called twenty or thirty taels.

In short, if the son wants to take advantage of the excitement and go home, the first choice is Bottle Lane, roughly find out the way here, and if you still have money, it is more stable to go to Fengbo Building. ” Xu Fengnian said with a smile on his face: "Brother Sun, just say these words to you, this pot of tea will invite me, I will accept it with good intentions, but the money will be paid, just as the old brother spent a small amount of money for me, how much should I pay." ” The shopkeeper was not polite, and stretched out his thumb and praised: "At first glance, the son is a kind person." ” Xu Fengnian continued to ask: "Brother Sun, don't call me son, it seems to be a raw person, don't call me Xu, just call me Xiao Xu, my family is in the porcelain business, and I can be regarded as walking with you, you are all businessmen."

This trip out, did not dare to bring too much money, if reckless and admired and went to the storm building, it is estimated that it will be planted a big heel, and then want to go to East Jinzhou comfortably, hanging.

By the way, the elder brother said that there are four strange things in Flying Fox City, and three more things are" Shopkeeper Sun didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said: "In addition to our side of the water and soil to raise a person, the women in the city are born with good embryos, and then if the son enters the city at the main gate, you can see that there is a hanging sword pavilion, I heard that every Double Ninth Festival, you can hear a hundred swords in unison, but I can't wait for the people to go to the city, I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, it's all said like this."

The third thing is to ask Lao Sun to expose his shortcomings, Flying Fox City, men are all rich and peaceful, not angry, a hundred years since the founding of the city, there has never been a big official who can shine in the court, they are all small officials with sesame mung beans, Lao Sun looks, they are all caused by women who are too beautiful, there is a white and tender little daughter-in-law lying in the bed at home, and there are so many pink and tender green buildings outside the house, and they have no strength to toss at night, how can they have the energy to grab an official and a half position with outsiders during the day.

Brother Xu, look at my grandson, in this life, I have to keep this family business with peace of mind, as long as I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I don't have the heart to earn a lot of money, I usually like to pick some good tea and taste it myself, and then drink a little wine with the old brothers, and talk about the long and short families in the streets and alleys like women.

Outsiders say that we are not self-motivated and do not wronged us. ” Xu Fengnian showed a smile and a clear expression, nodded, and said softly: "Peace is good, stability is a blessing." ” This Flying Fox City is as big as the layout of the city, as small as the pavilions and pavilions, all of which are rare and exquisite in Beimang, and the women's posture level here is far beyond the rest of the capital cities in Longjiao Prefecture, and the little ladies nicknamed Flying Fox have both the graceful appearance of women in the south of the Yangtze River, and the tenacious roots of Beimang, so there is neither wind and moon phase, nor wind and dust, it is famous for a long time in the entire Beimang Eight Prefectures, even if it is the top brand Oiran who walked out of the dragon's waist in the Flying Fox Qinglou, the value is far more than twice as expensive as that of other counterparts.

On the contrary, the men of Flying Fox City have always been in the military and political worlds, and they have always been ridiculed as sissiesies, and the fat powder is so heavy that they are tired, and the city can be seen all over the city The weak man who is boating in the flower port and watching the fish, shaking the sandalwood ancient fan and drinking tea and talking about the self-proclaimed elegance, Flying Fox City has not yet been a frontier member above the third grade, not to mention the Biao Bing close ministers who can go to the royal court and the emperor's tent to get an embroidered pier seat and discuss with the empress, it is difficult to imagine that it is this feminine city that has no pride at all, There is an attic that allows nearly 100 top swordsmen in the Spring and Autumn Period to retire as hanging swords, among which there is a spring sword that the Xishu Sword Queen hung for the ancestors, and there is also a famous sword candle dragon that has fought with Li Chungang's Trojan horse and cow, and there is a custom of planting a row of feng shui trees in the southern village of Spring and Autumn Period, I don't know if this hanging sword pavilion has this homesick meaning.

Shopkeeper Sun said with emotion: "Brother Xu's eight words have explained the truth thoroughly, and he is worthy of being a scholar in a big family, unlike us who are ordinary people who drill money, who have lived for most of our lives, and we can't say such things." ” Xu Fengnian laughed at it, he didn't take this kind of painless sycophant seriously, but asked curiously: "Brother Sun seems to have missed a strange thing." ” Shopkeeper Sun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, before Flying Fox City, it should have been more than 20 years, and there was a suave swordsman, and he didn't hang his sword, but sold the sword at a high price very spinelessly, but it was sold at a terrifying price of 1,000 taels of gold at that time, I was still young at that time, I remember that everyone in Flying Fox City was shocked, and I saw this handsome swordsman in the crowded women's pile from afar, it was indeed a rare beautiful man, and then he used the gold to sell swords in Fengbo Building for a whole year, and it was a big event that caused a sensation in the whole city, and the swordsman spent a thousand taels of gold, Penniless, he became a painter, specializing in painting portraits of women, and spent it like splashing water when he earned silver, and at first he could be happy and happy, and those ladies were willing to cheer, God knows if it was his person, or his painting, but the business became more and more cold, and later, no one ever saw this man who was not a swordsman and a painter, but this strange thing of selling swords and painting and sleeping in the green building has been passed down. ” Xu Fengnian asked: "What kind of sword can be sold for a smacking price of a thousand taels of gold?"

The shopkeeper Sun looked puzzled: "This old Sun Ke doesn't know, I only heard that it was sold to the city herdsman, and later in the year of the city shepherd's son and crown, he was transferred to the prince."

Brother Xu, it's not Lao Sun's indiscriminate boasting, this city shepherd is different from the ordinary men in Flying Fox City, heroic and brave, swordsmanship from a first-class master, he can immediately hold a three-stone bow, and the reckless sword and foot battle under the horse are even better, and it is rumored that in a few years he will go to the northern royal court to be the bell of His Majesty's side, which is a great honor.

Lao Sun's two daughters, a little older needless to say, is at the age of Sichun, even the little girl in her early teens, all love to die and live, every time she seizes the opportunity for the son of the world to appear, she has to run with her sisters to scream, saying that he will not marry in this life, and I will be so angry that I am called a seven-trick smoke, you said that you are a little girl who is less than eleven years old, what kind of fun, with your mother and relatives look swarthy and swarthy, and the face and body will grow in the future, even if the female college changes eighteen, it is delicate to die, how to climb the city herdsman Brother Xu, Do you say that this is the reason for me to talk about her, she and my sister, as well as my daughter-in-law who is a lot of age, are all old and yellow old women, and they are also blindly coaxed, and they elbow out together to gang up and be angry with me, and the three of them can ignore me for several days, alas. ” The old man sighed from the bottom of his heart, how sad and miserable.

Xu Fengnian didn't agree, didn't squint, drank tea, just smiled and said to the shopkeeper Sun: "Brother Sun, I think my niece is not conspicuous now, and she may not be able to be slim in the future, besides, that city shepherd is not a shallow strange man at first glance, the world is unpredictable, who knows if my niece, who has never been masked, can have a good marriage made in heaven." ” Shopkeeper Sun was wondering, and when he saw Brother Xu lose a vague look, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly nodded solemnly and said: "Indeed, Lao Sun's daughter, don't look at me and always say that she is not, in fact, I am a father, and I feel very distressed, hey, I dare not say that I have to be the son of the city shepherd in the future, and the worst thing is that I have to be a man who stands up to the sky and the earth like him, so that I can enter my house, otherwise I have to beat the broom out, hum, I wronged my daughter, but no."

Behind the shopkeeper Sun stood a teenage girl, who had already been angry, after hearing the last words, her face turned from rainy and dark to sunny, and she called out to her father sweetly, sitting in the arms of the shopkeeper Sun, smiling so that her little face bloomed, and said: "Dad, let my mother make you your favorite Dongling meat at night."

Shopkeeper Sun, who escaped death, wiped his cold sweat, touched his little daughter's head with one hand, said good, and then quietly stretched out his thumb to Xu Fengnian, grateful, and felt that he should not accept the tea money for this pot of tea anymore.

Xu Fengnian smiled softly: "It's a niece, she looks really watery, and when she grows up, she will definitely be a big beauty who is shy of flowers in the closed moon." ” Xiao Nizi hummed heavily, and then smiled happily: "It's a pity that you are too old, and you don't look as good as the son of Tantai, I don't like you." ” Xu Fengnian was silent.

His Royal Highness was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows.

Some late.

There is still a chapter before twelve o'clock in the evening
