Between seas

Naturally, the old beggar couldn't beat Jiang Yizhou to death.Along the way, with a calm face, he walked towards Luoyang City with Shen Boru and the other three.

On the way, Shen Boru asked the old beggar a lot about Master Qian.Master Qian was in the silk business, there were several shops in the city, and many dignitaries liked to patronize them.

Mrs. Qian died early, and there is only one daughter under her knees, she is very beautiful, and she is waiting in her boudoir, and the matchmaker who talks about the item every day has to step through the threshold.Miss Qian has a good personality. Whether she is a prince or a trafficker, they are all polite and courteous. She doesn't have the coquettish appearance of a young lady, let alone offend anyone.

Ms. Qian is also good at painting, ranging from landscape figures to small flowers, birds, fish and insects, all are lifelike and worth a fortune.A while ago, Fengxian Temple repainted the ancient murals on the wall, and invited Ms. Qian to add one or two strokes.However, because it was difficult for her daughter's family to show their faces, Miss Qian did not agree to this invitation.

When talking about the ancient murals of Fengxian Temple, the old beggar showed helplessness and regretted: "The murals in Fengxian Temple were painted by painters from the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty. Their skills are different from those in the Central Plains, so that the craftsmanship has been lost. Now there is no way to repair it. Repair, Fengxian Temple had to repaint.”

"Not long ago I happened to go to Fengxian Temple and saw the half-finished murals. After all, it was a rough imitation. It looked good, but it was a mess, and it lost its original charm. This feeling is It's like drinking a burning knife with a sharp voice, and suddenly a bottle of soft sake is brought to you, it's very boring."

"A few days ago, the little bald dipper in Fengxian Temple invited Miss Qian again. He wanted to talk about it, so he only talked about Miss Qian. It was really unlucky that there was a flower picker again." The old beggar said angrily: "But Don't let me catch those two head-stealing monsters."

Sanbao asked: "What if I catch it?"

The old beggar waved the bamboo pole in his hand and said angrily, "I'll kill them."

Seeing his desperate appearance, Jiang Yizhou persuaded him: "Old man, you'd better stay at home and rest honestly, and be careful not to lose your head."

The old beggar rolled his eyes and said, "You know what a fart, my name is Lao Ji Fu Ting, I have a thousand ambitions—"

Before the words were finished, an old woman with white hair on the sideburns came out of a tavern beside the road. Her back was bent and she walked slowly, as if the weight of her whole body was on the wooden crutches in her hands.

When she saw the old beggar, she stopped in her tracks, raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, her tone seemed to be questioning: "Aiming for thousands of miles?"

The old beggar fell silent like a mouse seeing a cat, and the angry expression on his face quickly disappeared, turning into a smiling face.He stepped forward and said courteously, "Isn't Madam taking a nap? Why don't you take a rest?"

Suddenly, Sanbao pointed to the old beggar: "So you run a tavern, not a beggar!"

The old beggar stood beside the old woman, confidently: "When did I say that I am a beggar? Is it enough to wear shabby clothes, take a bowl, and lean on a bamboo?"

Sambo didn't understand, so he said, "Then why are you dressed like this?"

Old beggar: "It's easy to make money. Find a corner to squat, put a broken bowl, and someone will give you money."

The old woman supported the crutch with one hand, grabbed the old beggar by the ear with the other hand, and carried him into the tavern, her soft voice suddenly raised its voice: "It's a scam, it's a disgrace!"

"A Cui, A Cui!" The old beggar covered his sore ears and called the old woman's name, "Be lighter, be lighter..."

A Cui ignored him, raised his wrist, and pushed open the door of the tavern with the crutch in his hand.

The strong aroma of wine hits the face.

Shen Boru is a person who doesn't like drinking.But when he smelled this smell, he really wanted to taste what it was like to taste the wine that could emit such an aroma.

Jiang Yizhou asked: "Grandma, what kind of wine is this?"

A Cui smiled and said, "This is my homemade wine."

Sanbao scratched the back of his head, his face full of confusion: "Grapes? Can grapes also make wine?"

"Why not?" A Cui let go of the old beggar, slowly crossed the threshold, and approached the tavern.She bent down to scoop up some light red wine from the jar, poured it into a wine glass, and said softly, "People in the Western Regions often use grapes to make wine. People in the Central Plains don't know this. In this huge city of Luoyang, only my family sells it. Here, Come and have a taste."

Sanbao had already heard itching in her heart, she hurried over, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, and smacked her mouth twice.She turned her head to look at Shen Boru and Jiang Yizhou, her eyes were crescent-shaped with a smile, and said, "Sweet!"

She picked up two small wine glasses, ran towards Shen Boru and Jiang Yizhou who were walking into the room, and handed the wine glasses to them: "It's delicious, try it quickly."

Shen Boru took the wine glass, took a sip, the unique sweetness of the grapes combined with the mellowness of the wine, mixed into a strange taste, so spicy that the tip of the tongue was slightly numb.

Shen Boru drank the wine in his glass, looked at the small cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's really good."

Seeing that Shen Boru liked it, Jiang Yizhou immediately paid for an altar.

A Cui looked at her husband, tapped his knee with a cane, and said angrily, "Er Zhuzi, you are usually lazy, but unexpectedly you brought back business today."

The old beggar smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Yizhou hugged the wine and asked, "By the way, where is the Qian family?"

A Cui frowned: "The Qian family? What are you three doing at the Qian family?"

Three Treasures: "Grandpa Zhuzi said that the Qian family was haunted by monsters, and Miss Qian's head was stolen by a couple of thieves. Master Qian is looking for a fairy master to catch the monster and get Miss Qian's head back."

A Cui's complexion changed slightly, she glanced at the old beggar, holding a cane in both hands, knocked hard on the ground a few times, and said anxiously: "Why are you telling people about this? You are quite old, and you have nothing but bragging. Yes, go and catch the demon, it’s almost as good if the demon catches you!"

The old beggar lost his previous momentum, lowered his head, and said yes again and again.

Shen Boru sighed in his heart: "The old man said something about a shrew before, but it should be on him. Hey, the old man is also a lover, a kind of love."

A Cui looked at Shen Boru and the three of them up and down, her voice slowed down, and persuaded: "The city of Luoyang is not peaceful recently, I see that you are all so young, it's better not to take risks at Qian's house, it's too dangerous if you are targeted by monsters."

Seeing that A Cui and his wife didn't tell him their plan, Shen Boru thought for a while, took Sanbao by the hand, lowered his head and said softly: "Mother-in-law is right, if this is the case, let's take our leave first."

Sanbao was at a loss, so he wanted to ask, but Jiang Yizhou took the other hand. He gave her a wink and said with a smile, "Let's go, Sanbao, let's go home."

Sanbao immediately understood, she pursed her lips, and obediently followed them away.

After walking a long distance, Jiang Yizhou said, "It's fine if they don't want to say it. Anyway, Mr. Qian is a famous celebrity. It's the same when we ask other people. There's no need to waste saliva there."

Hearing this, Sanbao felt that he had grown a stupid head.Embarrassed in her heart, she lowered her head, intentionally or unintentionally kicked the small stone under her feet, her face was a little embarrassed, and she whispered: "Then...then I will help the gods to ask you!"

Shen Boru smiled: "Don't worry, first buy some small dried fish and bring Ah Fei. For things like catching monsters, the four of us should go together."
