Me and my Jianghu Tavern

"I would like to thank the shopkeeper for not killing me." Jiang Rou lowered her head and said softly.

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "That's your servant's business, it has nothing to do with you."

"Same." Jiang Rou smiled slightly, but didn't care.

Seeing that Jiang Rou had reached this point, Zhang Ming didn't ask any more questions.

"So you came here to thank me, or did you come to drink?" Zhang Ming said.

Seeing this, Jiang Rou smiled slightly, ordered a pot of plum blossom wine, found a table and sat down.

After Zhang Ming gave Jiang Rou the wine, he sat back at the counter.

Xiao Qi went upstairs to sleep, and he had nothing else to do, so he propped his chin up and stared at the blue sky outside the door.

Uncle Zhang sat on the steps, he didn't dare to look back at the tavern, and he didn't have the face to look back.

He is a sensible person, if Zhang Ming didn't kill him, then he owed his life to him.

Recalling the past, when I first followed the master, I also had the same impulse, but I never thought that at this age, he would still have such an opportunity. It was just that the impulse was wrong, but after all, I did not regret it.

Zhang Ming didn't think this old servant was pitiful, he had to pay the price for everything he did, and this old servant deserved it.

Is this quack?

Maybe not, but it's just an old man with drive who ran into a tiger with a powdered forehead, Zhang Ming thought so.

Work at sunrise, live in and rest.

Drill a well and drink, and plow and eat.

The world seems to be well organized.

In a busy city, noisy and impetuous.I am used to seeing the busy traffic, and I have experienced the prosperity of the world. It seems that only the place where the chrysanthemums are picked and the Nanshan is leisurely can put down the wandering heart.

The breeze passed through the gate of the tavern and brushed across Zhang Ming's face, and he slowly regained his senses.

Jiang Rou had already finished the whole pot of plum wine, and her face became more rosy. She drank very slowly, but Zhang Ming was in a trance for too long.

"Let's leave today, and come to drink some other day." Jiang Rou got up and said.

"it is good."

Zhang Ming nodded and agreed.

The old servant at the door heard the footsteps behind him, immediately got up and escorted his young lady into the carriage, turned into a coachman, and drove the horse.

…………

night.

Zhang Ming closed the door of the tavern. He went upstairs and took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

This jade pendant was brought to him by a little Taoist priest.

He opened the quilt on the bed, and there were two copper coins there, which were placed by an old man, and he thought that he could return it to the old man with his own hands that day.

A jade pendant and two copper coins.

"Go back and find a cabinet to put it in." Zhang Ming muttered, and put the jade pendant under the quilt.

Zhang Ming only saw the footprints on the quilt at this time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he suppressed his anger to look at the white ball in the corner beside the bed.

Xiao Qi nestled beside the bed, her ears moved slightly, not sure if she had a nightmare.

Zhang Ming suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and muttered, "It's the second time, I'll let you go again, and you will die if there is another time."

At this time, he realized how troublesome it is to have a cat at home, especially in such a world.

that's all

Who told you to stay with me for such a long time, just treat it as raising a piglet.

Good night, sweet dreams.

Chapter 30: When did the son become so sentimental

The morning sky was a little dark.

A little bit of drizzle is falling, the continuous rainy season is not over yet, and it is raining again today.

The door of the tavern was pushed open, Zhang Ming stretched out his hand, and the raindrops hit his hand, splashing everywhere.

"call."

Take a deep breath, the unique smell of rain in the mountains.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Ming returned to the tavern and sat down, opened the drawer of the counter, and placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

The oily ink was stirred in the inkstone, and it took only a moment for the ink grinding to be completed.

Zhang Ming stretched the paper, and slowly picked up the brush beside him.

Dip in ink.

Write down.

[Jianghu Tavern, January [-], [-], in the morning, the weather was cloudy and rainy, the air was fresh, and there were no drinkers. 】

For a long time, Zhang Ming only wrote these few words. He really couldn't think of what to write, so he woke up and had nothing to record.

Xiao Qi lay motionless on the table, smelling the fragrance of ink, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ink in the inkstone.

"Meow?" Xiao Qi was puzzled.

what is this?It looks very fragrant.

Xiao Qi got up and came to the inkstone, carefully staring at the ink in the inkstone.

"Uh..." Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment. He put down the brush and looked at Xiaoqi, wanting to see what it was going to do.

Under his gaze, Xiao Qi lowered his head and approached the smoky ink in the inkstone.

It stuck out its pink and tender tongue.

The next second, Xiao Qi let out a scream.

"Meow!!!"

Unpalatable, too unpalatable, Xiao Qi stuck out his tongue and jumped to the ground.

"Pfft." Zhang Ming laughed out loud, telling you to be greedy, you dare to taste anything.

Xiao Qi's tender tongue turned black, and it immediately ran outside to drink a couple of sips of water and spit it out again, thinking it was gargling.

Zhang Ming looked at Xiao Qi for a while and then went to the inner room, thinking that there would be no guests if it was raining today, so he planned to brew [Tourist's Drunk].

…………

Three thousand black hairs were hanging down, the woman in red was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and beside her was a young man in brocade clothes.

Yu Linglong looked at Gu Qingshan who was beside him, at this moment, he no longer had the carefreeness of the past, instead, he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes.

The pursuit of the court did not make the young master become like this.

Between life and death, the son did not become like this.

It's just that losing a friend this time made the young master look like this.

Yu Linglong sighed inwardly, and said, "My lord, we will be in Jian'an City soon."

Gu Qingshan came back to his senses, watching water droplets falling from the oil-paper umbrella, he nodded, "Then go to Brother Zhang's for a drink."

Yu Linglong nodded, and the two walked side by side on the official road.

The cold wind was howling. Originally, only one person was supposed to be cold, but now there were two people.

The woman in red and the young man in brocade came to Jianghu Tavern.

Yu Linglong put away the oiled paper umbrella and followed Gu Qingshan into the tavern.

I didn't see Zhang Ming when I entered the door, only the white cat lying on the counter, and the white cat became energetic when it saw Yu Linglong.

"Meow."

Xiao Qi jumped off the counter and ran to Yu Linglong's feet to rub it. It remembered this young lady, the one who gave it a drink last time.

Yu Linglong smiled slightly, and didn't dislike it, she leaned over and hugged Xiao Qi.

"This is the cat raised by Brother Zhang, right? Why didn't you see Brother Zhang?" Gu Qingshan said.

Yu Linglong nodded and said, "This cat is very cute, my lord."

"Meow." Xiao Qi echoed, not knowing what he was calling.

Yu Linglong looked at Xiao Qi and smiled, "Little guy, where is your master?"

"Meow?" Xiao Qi opened her big eyes, looking cute and cute.

It doesn't know what the young lady in front of it is talking about, it can only guess.

After thinking for a while, it stretched out its paw and pointed in the direction of the inner room.

Gu Qingshan was stunned, this cat can actually understand people?Brother Zhang’s cats are all this powerful.

Yu Linglong tapped Xiao Qi's nose, and said softly, "Little guy is so good, sister will give you a drink later."

Zhang Ming who was in the inner room heard voices from outside and knew it was Yu Linglong and Gu Qingshan, so Zhang Ming said aloud: "You guys sit down first, I will come out right away."

Gu Qingshan and Yu Linglong nodded, found a table and sat down.

Xiao Qi lay on the table and looked at Yu Linglong with wide eyes.

As soon as Yu Linglong came, it jumped up and down, unlike usual, it was almost asleep.

Yu Linglong wanted to laugh when it saw it, so she asked, "What are you looking at me for, little guy?"

"Meow."

Xiao Qi responded, regardless of whether Yu Linglong could understand or not.

Gu Qingshan looked at Yu Linglong helplessly, cats can't speak human words, do women like to do such things?

Gu Qingshan turned his head to look in the direction of the inner room, and muttered: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Ming coming out of the inner room. There was still some sweat on Zhang Ming's forehead.

Zhang Ming stood at the door of the inner room and said, "What kind of wine are you drinking?"

Gu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, Brother Zhang meant that new wine was released, he turned his head to look at the wine list on the wall, and sure enough, he saw a new wine called [Plum Blossom Wine], selling eight taels a pot.

"Then let's have two jugs of plum blossom wine." Gu Qingshan said, he couldn't wait to taste the wine.

Zhang Ming went into the inner room and made two jugs of plum blossom wine, and put them on the table.

"I didn't expect Brother Zhang to have new wine after not coming for a few days." Gu Qingshan laughed.

Zhang Ming nodded, and couldn't help but take another look at Gu Qingshan. The current Gu Qingshan gave him a different feeling, as if he had gone through a lot of vicissitudes, and it wasn't like this a few days ago.

"What happened to you recently? Why do you look like this?" Zhang Ming simply sat down.

Gu Qingshan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, don't mention it."

Zhang Ming glanced at him, and then at Yu Linglong. The two hadn't been here for several days.

However, nothing major can become like this?But since he didn't want to talk, Zhang Ming wouldn't ask too much.

Yu Linglong said nothing, just smiled and didn't speak.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be busy first." After saying that, Zhang Ming got up and walked into the inner room.

Gu Qingshan smiled wryly, when did brother Zhang get so busy, wasn't he very free before.

Yu Linglong reached out to pick up the jug, moistened the wine glass, and poured wine for Gu Qingshan.

"Thank you, Miss Linglong." Gu Qingshan took the wine glass and said a little.

"..." Yu Linglong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "My lord, when did you and I become so estranged?"

Gu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "It was my fault."

Yu Linglong sighed and said, "In Linglong's impression, Young Master is not such a sentimental person."

In Yu Linglong's impression, Gu Qingshan has always been a carefree and suave young master, a young master will never worry about one thing for several days, and it's hard to get drunk.
