Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

I can't even see Kong Ming's face, so I don't have the ability to make him happy. The only thing I can do is to pour a few taels more into his gourd when I bring tea to the town for wine, so that Kong Ming can drink to his heart's content.

Even so, they had to be sneaky, for fear of being discovered and losing their jobs.

Recently, He Dacheng has kept a close eye on me.

He is a waiter in the shop, rushing around all day with a big wine jug, but the monthly money is pitifully small, less than a hundred dollars for half a month of hard work, which is enough to satisfy his hunger.I heard that when I was still in the future, he often behaved positively in front of the shopkeeper, and originally wanted to compete for the job of selling wine.It's a pity that the shopkeeper disliked him for his lack of talkativeness and lack of communication, so he didn't dare to entrust him with the heavy responsibility of attracting customers, which ended up taking advantage of me, an outsider.

"Dacheng is down-to-earth and willing to work, but he has a hulking back and a hideous appearance. Standing in the street may stop children from crying at night." The shopkeeper apologized in his heart, thought for a long time, considered his family's difficulties, and decided to give him a monthly salary.

Unexpectedly, He Dacheng turned his head and refused to accept it: "I do the same work, but I don't have any land. I get paid more than others, which makes people laugh."

It can be seen from this that, as the name suggests, he strives for what he deserves and never covets what he doesn't deserve. He is an honest man with backbone.But maybe the errands were robbed of his heart, he always pays more attention to me on weekdays, although he has never used any tricks, but I always feel that there are a pair of eyes behind me, like thorns on my back, and I dare not slack off.

Under his supervision, even when I had no business to do, I sat upright behind the counter, making no difference whether the guests were present or not, and I was a model bartender.

"Nan Shuang, He Dacheng is looking at you again!" Ah Xiang, who was close to me, lightly tapped my shoulder, and whispered, "Be careful, his fists are hard, and even eight soldiers can't beat him."

"So powerful?" I clicked my tongue. Is that the treatment of Zhang Fei from Yan?He Dacheng has never been heard of in Three Kingdoms.

"What are you doing lying to you!" Ah Xiang explained, "Last year, some military masters got drunk and made trouble in the store, and almost smashed our signboard. He got down and showed great prestige. Even the shopkeeper said that he was born with supernatural power, and it would be a pity not to be a soldier."

I've heard of it.He Dacheng has great ambitions, and set up a lofty ideal of becoming a general at the age of three, but unfortunately, his mother lingered in the sick bed, and couldn't do without the care of his only son, so he had to give up. "My parents are here, why don't you travel far away!" Ah Xiang couldn't read a single word, and she rarely remembered a sentence from "The Analects of Confucius", shaking her head very proudly.

Can't help chuckling.

Days suddenly become simpler.My heart was left on the hard stone road in Longzhong, and it was trampled to pieces by cruel passers-by, and I couldn't put it together again.A person without a heart cannot experience joy, feel sadness, and it doesn't matter.

gradually became silent.The shopkeeper often said that he had never seen a girl like me, with the tranquility of a 20-year-old in her eyes in her 90s, and she couldn't even arouse the slightest interest in the exquisite and gorgeous crested hairpin.

"Nan Shuang, how can you distribute all the monthly money to the refugees? You are old enough to save enough dowry before you can talk about a good relationship." The shopkeeper has never seen me so unselfish and dedicated to helping others. , Pointing at my nose hates iron but not steel. 19 years old is still a delicate flower bud in modern times, but it has already missed the flowering period in the Three Kingdoms.Yesterday's yellow flowers can only be picked up by men who know what to buy and take home if they are coated with valuable gold powder.But getting married is not what I want, and saving money doesn't mean much to me. It's better to spread these seeds that can bring happiness to the poor and bloom brilliant flowers on their faces.

People who are hungry all the year round can see great happiness from an occasional full meal.And I have food and clothing every day, but I am still depressed. "There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity." Cui Zhouping passed by the wine shop once, and shook his head and sighed seriously at me who was sluggish, "The shadow of the bright moon, the autumn wind is cold, will the old man come tonight? Teach people to stand up to the shadow of the phoenix trees... "

"Eat yours! Even the best daughter Hong can't stop your mouth!" I was poked at the center, so I couldn't help but stare at him fiercely.

"I have a big mouth, and you gave too little wine, so of course I can't stop it." Cui Zhouping was not afraid at all, and joked with me with a playful smile, "I said Nanshuang, you are too blatant. You explain to me, Why do I pay the same five dollars, but my wine can only go up to the waist of the gourd, but the person who serves the tea can barely reach his gourd?" Although he is a scholar, he is not weak, standing in front of the shop like a door panel, covering him The sunlight also dimmed a lot.

"Hush! Keep your voice down!" I was shocked, thinking of excuses quickly in my mind, and subconsciously filled him with a spoonful of Nurhong, "Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?" Looking at it, I saw that He Dacheng's gesture of wiping the table slowed down, and he looked absent-minded, obviously he had noticed the movement on our side.

Cui Zhouping is a smart person. Seeing this situation, he immediately realized that He Dacheng and I were not on good terms, and asked strangely, "You have not been employed for three months, what did you do to offend your colleagues?"

"It's his stinginess!" I couldn't help complaining about the cause and effect, and at the end I didn't forget to confess my innocence, "I, I always pay back the extra drink money into the public account, so it's not considered self-stealing..." This is the truth.I don't care about money, so I didn't let the shopkeeper suffer.But the words are unfounded, there is no detailed account for wine sold at the counter, only a rough estimate of the income and expenditure when the door is closed every day, the shopkeeper is generous, and you can pass the customs if you are close.

Cui Zhouping was speechless: "Why are you doing this!" Although he was a close friend of Kong Ming, he believed that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so he didn't talk about everything.He still can't understand my decision to voluntarily leave the thatched cottage and become a bartender in a wine shop. After all, in the eyes of the world, selling wine is a lowly profession, and the interpersonal relationship in the thatched cottage is simple. Everyone has shown great tolerance and respect.

More importantly, with Cui Zhouping's wisdom, he must have seen my girlish heart long ago.Asking to leave is tantamount to tearing away love, Cui Zhouping, Mr. Shui Jing and others are well aware of this.Even when I think about it afterwards, I think that Kong Ming must have seen through my thoughts long ago, so he let me go without stopping me, lest one day I get too hot-headed to pierce the window paper and refuse to refuse.

My admiration had troubled him.

I wanted to ask Cui Zhouping about Kong Ming's recent situation, but suddenly I stopped thinking and said with a forced smile, "I heard that Mr. Cui was blessed with a son last month. I haven't congratulated you yet. How is the young master?"

"Okay! It's just noisy. I always want someone to hold me, and I cry when I put it down!" Cui Zhouping is not the first time to be a father, but when he mentions his son, his eyes are still bright, "I came to town today to give the full moon wine Here!" He took out a red note from his pocket and handed it to me, "This is yours, please be sure to show me your face!"

"Thank you, sir. I am sorry to trouble you to send it here. Nanshuang will definitely attend on time." I never thought that I would receive an invitation from Jingzhou celebrities after I left the thatched cottage. I was flattered.

"You girl, why are you being polite!" Cui Zhouping shook his head amusedly.He is much older than Kong Ningming. After becoming a father, he grew a beard and became more stable. He is used to relying on the old to sell the old. "Usually, I am used to calling Nanshuang Nanshuang. I didn't know your last name until it was written on the paper. I will ask." Kong Ming, I just found out that your maiden name is Cao.—Is it Prime Minister Cao’s family?”

"It's the same Cao character, but they have no relatives or reasons." I shook my head hastily.Cao is my surname in the previous life. Because my grandmother is of Chinese-English mixed race, my name is based on the British custom of taking the word "Anna" from my great-grandmother. It would be very strange to use it in the Three Kingdoms.But in this life, my parents died young, and the family is extremely patriarchal. I didn't get a big name when I was 15 years old.Therefore, the first thing I did when I escaped from the house was to give myself the name "Nan Shuang" and call myself the surname Cao.

Dongchui urges willows first, Nanshuang does not kill flowers.Gaoqiao Yegu wine, whose house is the light on?

Over thousands of years, in this time and space, people in the world only know Wang Can but not Bai Juyi.Since crossing, I have traveled all over the country in a hurry, but I can't find my way back.

No matter whose home the light is on, it won't be my home anyway.Measure the wine with water, pour the clear Dukang into the urn, the smell of the wine is pervasive, and gradually enters the empty heart.
