Crown Sword

Chapter 164

"In the past, when Minglang came to Hejian, he would live here for a while. After his death, the land deeds and house deeds were transferred to me. I didn't stay in Jiankang often, and because of his death, I sold them..." Cui Tanfeng held his hands With his wide sleeves folded, while talking, Shi Shiran walked in the courtyard side by side with Shuang Li.

Shuang Li interrupted him, and immediately made up some small calculations: "I thought that after the money and the goods are settled, the two have nothing to do with each other. Old Fenghuang, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with the buyer. Or is the buyer an acquaintance?" ..." The little girl paused and screamed softly, "Ah! Such a nice house, why don't you sell it to me?"

This neighborhood is close to the commercial market, no matter whether you live here, live here as a guest, or do business, it is a treasure land with a lot of money, which makes Shuang Carp's eyes greedy and itchy, half-jokingly chasing after Cui Tanfeng and sarcasm: "You say, you Let's talk about it, who is more face than me!"

Cui Tanfeng was stunned. At that time, she was worried and hurt her body, she was full of worries and thoughts, and she was thin and thin. How could she think so thoughtfully, and she only squeezed out a few words: "No one, just a merchant from Ganzhou, That was the first time I saw him."

"I don't believe it, which girl could it be?" Shuang Li looked around, trying to find some fragrance powder, but finally returned disappointed, "It's really just a merchant? That's a pity, I still want to meet, this stalker The luck is really good, and I am so happy that there is no guarantee that there will be a big business opening this year."

Cui Tanfeng sighed helplessly: "Aside from money, what else do you have in mind?"

"Of course it's money," Shuang Li grimaced, and said seriously, "I'm not joking, running around these past few months, and there are always bloody disasters, it's good to be happy, old Fenghuang, can you introduce me?"

Cui Tanfeng shook her head, her gaze was complicated for a moment: "The merchant has passed away."

"Ah, dead?"

"Later, this businessman came to Dongting to seek medical treatment, and I gave him the prescription. He was seriously ill for a long time and his heart, lungs and bone marrow were infiltrated. The gods could not save him. He died after only one year. After his death, his steward came to report and returned the land deed The deed was also given to me."

After Shuang Li listened, goosebumps covered his forearms, and he looked at the yard again, seeing the sparse shadows and the bleak night wind, he felt hairy in his heart.

This is not a happy event, I'm afraid it's bad Feng Shui!

"Old Fenghuang, you are so kind, how dare you bring someone here?" Shuang Li trembled in fear, and complained.

Cui Tanfeng was at a loss for words: "I..." He was really wronged, the neighbors left and right did avoid it for this reason, if it wasn't for looking for an unobtrusive place, they would not have remembered this place.

"Is it that cold?" Just as Chao Chen came out of the house, he saw Shuang Li jumping with arms folded, thinking it was Yelu who was freezing.

Shuang Li turned her head, her eyes lit up, she quickly passed her fear on to others, and said in a ghostly voice: "Brother Chao, someone died in this house, are you afraid..."

Chao Chen didn't answer, but Gong Yangyue took a step ahead in the hallway and pulled the sword outward: "I've killed people before, are you afraid?"

Shuang Li felt very disappointed: "It's boring!"

Gong Yangyue stepped forward, flicked her finger on her forehead, and said with a smile: "There is a folk saying that the women who have been in Kefu one after another are not miserable, but rather Quaker, because their husbands can't hold back, so they have to fly to the branches. Be a phoenix. You might as well analogize it like this, no matter how big the evil spirit is, I will bear it, so what are you afraid of!"

Shuangli snorted: "Nonsense!"

Gong Yangyue hesitated to speak: "Besides, we have an emperor here..." Then, he tilted his head to look at Cui Tanfeng, who choked and sighed "Ouch".Shuang Li came back and pointed back and forth between the two of them: "Okay, it's still possible to do this, don't you guys want to give it a try..."

"Try what?" Tuoba Gui walked out.

Shuang Li suppressed her laughter: "...Try if you can lick your nose with your tongue!" As she spoke, she really stuck out her tongue and tilted it up, making everyone laugh.

Cui Tanfeng patted her on the top of the head, straightened her, and said meaningfully: "The mouth is the territory of the tongue, so don't think about pushing the nose on the face!"

In the final analysis, he is also giving Gong Yang some face, otherwise, even though he loves all sentient beings, he will never welcome uninvited guests from the standpoint of a doctor in the Jianghu.

----

Outside the Suzaku Gate of Jiankang City, there is a legendary restaurant in the busiest market, also known as: Suzaku. Be a guest of honor and have a bright face, and brag and boast when meeting everyone.

On the second day after wearing the Magnolia, Chao Chen developed a rash on his face. It was really unsightly to go out like this, but they had already reserved a place at the Zhuque Tower. According to the method, he asked Cui Tanfeng for a set of clothes, put them on and pretended to practice medicine.

As soon as the building was opened in the morning, there was a crowd in front of the door. A few people were not like individual tourists rushing to squeeze in, they just stood in front of the door, and blindly followed the others to look up and observe the bricks and tiles carefully.

I saw that the Zhuque Building is a large building, with rows of courtyards full of green plants, and the front and rear levels are scattered; the nine-storey building looks like a small tower from a distance, and the flying green tiles are magnificent.The red bird in the south is dominated by fire and red. Perhaps businessmen love the image of red fire. The pillars and panes of the building are all painted with ocher paint, and bird head patterns can be seen everywhere, mixed in kissing beasts, eaves bells, and bucket arches.

Looking from a distance, ten miles and eight alleys stand out from the crowd. This is not a dilapidated restaurant, and strangers who don't know it may suspect that it is an official building.

After waiting for a while, the number of people didn't decrease, but increased sharply. Shuang Carp murmured: "This is too much. When I came back last time, I didn't say that people were trampling people..."

The old man weaving grasshoppers was squatting beside the stone steps and answered: "Several outsiders! Isn't this just in time for the Flower Festival? There is a trick of dividing the flowers into pots in the building, and the winners are said to be the first!" Those who choose can get a promise from the head of the family, no, all go for that promise!"

A few young men nearby listened, and laughed and booed: "Can I change to the second master's One Night Dance?"

Hearing those words were dirty and unsteady at all, the old man glared at him, and said sarcastically: "You kid, be careful not to suffer, if you don't come back the next day, you'll pick out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs!"

Cui Hao became interested, and knew that Tuoba Gui might also be curious, so he asked him in his own words: "Who are the chief master and the second master?"

The person who explained it was Chao Chen: "It is said that there are two masters in the Zhuque Tower. The master is the one who actually controls the house. He does not know his name and identity. Some say that he is backed by the imperial court and is a member of the official family, and some say that he is a certain senior in the world. , came here to recuperate after old age, anyway, no one has seen it, and it is still doubtful whether there is such a person. As for the second master, it is Shi Miaoye, who is as famous as "Second Shu" with Sang Zi, and is famous for her Lingbo dance. "

The old man at the bottom of the steps nodded his head like a pounding garlic, picked up a tune, and hummed leisurely: "There is Sangzi Feifeng Umbrella in the west, and Miaoyi Lingbojian in the east."

At this time, there was a sound of gongs and drums inside, and Shuangli, who was eager to fight, hurriedly squeezed behind the crowd, jumped up and down to look in, and saw flying flowers falling in the building, and the shopkeeper in charge stepped into the hall, speaking standard Mandarin, Clasping hands to the four directions, first chanting words to sacrifice to the God of Flowers, and then saying blessings, tying colored notes, and distributing them to all guests.

Once the set of words is finished, the shopkeeper will explain the rules of the trick in detail.

"I think you should know the rules of my Zhuque Tower. Lucky luck is born every year. Those who are capable will get it. Those who win are not arrogant, and those who lose are not too concerned. Today, there is no food and drink, and everyone has fun." The shopkeeper smiled. The exhibition is very pleasing, and it is said that it is a banquet for the king, but there are still many gentry who voted for rewards from upstairs.

The shopkeeper flicked his sleeves, and the next time he received it, he threw a lot of money into the flower basket: "Thank you, thank you! The proceeds in the basket will be used as sesame oil money for the Temple of Flowers."

An impatient person couldn't wait for the back and forth, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Quickly, what's the question! I can't wait!"

"Don't panic, strong man!" The shopkeeper pointed to the left side of the building with a helping hand, and three or five errand runners immediately brought in big radish baskets full of flowers, "This first round is Fenhua, and the fight against flowers on May [-]th." Similarly, there is a pen and paper in front of the table, fill in the flowers one by one, put them into the blind box, and someone will count them, the one with the most wins, and the top ten will be selected."

As soon as his words fell, the sound of conversation resounded in the field.

"It's his grandma's. How can I recognize flowers? It's almost as good as destroying flowers with hard hands!"

"Oh, this question is tailor-made for mere districts. Among other things, the girls from Hualou from Xikou City to Xinqiao can count everything, such as peonies, crabapples, azaleas, and smiles..."

A few warriors were very upset. As soon as they jumped onto the stage, they wielded the meteor hammer and wanted to smash the flower basket table into pieces. Unfortunately, before they landed, they were blocked by the slick shopkeeper. For a while, The guards at the four corners of the building jumped up, twisted the person, and swept him out.

Taking advantage of the crowd's opening and closing, Shuang Li longed to squeeze in. Unfortunately, many of the people who came here were regular customers with good eyesight. They were afraid of being taken advantage of by guarding east and west. Their speed was comparable to that of a magpie on grass. , can also fill up instantly.After two rounds in a row, she didn't get stuffed in, and she was so angry that her nose bleeds.

The old man waved his hand and called the aggrieved little girl over, patting her head pamperingly: "Hey, are you getting angry?" As he spoke, he took out a ball of cloth from his arms, unfolded it, and took off two pieces of silver Dan Caoye extinguished the fire for her.

Shuang Li didn't dislike it, and sucked it on the coating of his tongue.

The old man was very satisfied, and casually said: "Still angry for not squeezing in?"

Shuang Li's mouth narrowed, and she was about to cry: "No, I didn't know who farted just now!" She was not tall, and she was squeezed among a group of old men, either smelling farts or underarm odor.

Several people couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard the words, and Gong Yangyue reached out and pulled her hood, lifted her up, and said sarcastically: "I told you not to eat well, you have lost your stature!"

The old man put away the straw and weaved the rice dumpling leaves, and left a finished grasshopper for Shuangli.

Chao Chen asked the price: "How to sell it?"

The old man glanced at him, beckoned everyone up, "Aggregate the price? Come with me." Chao Chen's eyes lit up, he followed, and without saying a word, he just followed him around, and finally stopped in front of a door Down.

Before the hand touched the door knocker, the people inside seemed to have ears to hear the sound, and opened the gate first.The first person to come out of the door was not a person, but a broken cart with a large bucket on it, with the lid covered, and the whole body was covered with oil and water.

"Xiao Yong, where are you sending the swill?"

The old man waited in front of the door, and a hunchback and hunched body came out carrying the last two large buckets. It probably never occurred to him that there were six or seven people stuffed in front of the door. At first glance, there were more than a dozen feet, and he trembled and raised his head. Showing messy long hair like lion's fur, and shy and dodging eyes.

"Don't be afraid." The old man chuckled.

The boy who delivered the swill also put on a simple and honest smile on his cheeks, the corners of his mouth were grinning high, his whole muscles were pushed up, and wrinkled into pieces, in short, it was not like the expression that normal people would make.

Shuang Li's eyes were glued to the person, and she wanted to take another look, but the old man had already supported her on her shoulders and walked in. On the way, several kitchen helpers passed by, and they all called out "Mr. Tang" respectfully.

"Here, go in from here, walk through a narrow corridor, and you will reach the lobby." The old man pointed the way, and sent a few people to keep him out of sight.

When they opened the bamboo curtain and entered the building, half of the game was over.

Going to join in the fun now, there is no beginning and no end, not perfect, but it lacks a bit of flavor and becomes vulgar, so a few people stare at the empty seats, find a seat, and watch from the sidelines, anyway, they are here just to watch Take a look at the Zhuque Tower, as for the trick, it's just a lucky hit.

Fortunately, there is nothing.

The activities in spring brought a three-point warmth to the faces of the people who brought them, and everyone was smiling, even if they turned over the delicate flowers in the flower baskets, they couldn't read half a word, at most it was just a harmless sigh, still stained. Don't be discouraged.The people in front of the gate entered the arena one by one like walking horses, and dispersed one by one. Looking around, there are still a few familiar shadows among them.

After the gong was finalized, the first round was decided, and the shopkeeper in the building arranged for three actors to go through the stage, holding a small gong and holding a pipa, rapping about the history and chivalry.

At this moment, it was Xie Dudu who broke the enemy by Feishui, and the grass and trees under Bagong Mountain were full of soldiers.

Ever since Emperor Huai was captured, the state of Jin has been aggrieved and beaten on the battlefield, and it was so easy to win a big victory. He relished it, only heard that thin voice just opened, and then sang a final poem, and then applauded, Those who applauded, those who shouted and shouted came together, and the sound shook like thunder for a while.

It is said that when you go to the countryside, you do as the Romans do. None of Gongyangyue and his party were born and raised in the south of the Yangtze River, so they listened very carefully, but Tuoba Gui, who was always a little headstrong, was listening to Xie Xuan, the military leader of the Northern Mansion, who was charging into the battle, and Xie Taifu, who was sitting firmly on the temple. When Xie An wrote a biography, he couldn't help bowing his head and showing approval.

"Jiangzuo has outstanding people, and there are indeed some general talents, but that alone is not enough." Tuobagui tapped his finger on the table, and his sigh diffused into the din of the guests.He didn't continue. As for what is lacking and why it is not enough, if we really want to talk about it, it is a long national policy, which is not something ordinary people can get.

Cui Hao has always listened more and talked less, he didn't speak, he just poured a glass of thin wine and brought it to his lips.At this time, he glanced away from the corner of his eye, and he saw a person who heard the sound and was looking here.

That person is Cui Tanfeng who is close to him.

Dr. Cui raised his glass to congratulate, poured down the fragrant and sweet rice wine, then put down the white gauze on the curtain, stared down at his knees, showing a look of regret——

The decaying Jiangzuo imperial court depended entirely on the romantic and famous scholars from the Zanying House to continue their lives. But looking at it now, when the axis fell, the soldier lord died, and the treacherous ministers were in power, I am afraid that the bones of the famous scholars will not be able to hold up, and they will no longer be able to support the crumbling sky .

...But only when the giant beast falls, can there be a chance to share the food.

After a long time, he pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
