at dusk.
Chu Xiu carried the book box and returned to Chang Lai Inn.
The lobby of the inn was already overcrowded, and all kinds of noises could be heard.
"Those two gentlemen opened a room next to the young master's room." The charming landlady whispered as she passed the counter.
Chu Xiu nodded slightly.
moment.
The three met again.
Chu Xiu took out five packages of medicinal materials and a jar of aged wine from the bookcase.
The process of brewing wine is very complex, requiring material selection, koji making, fermentation, distillation, aging, blending, bottling, etc.
If he were still at Yudingguan in Shuzhou, Chu Xiu would naturally start with the selection of ingredients and complete all the steps of brewing wine step by step.
Here, his main purpose was to take the examination of Zhuque Academy, and he had no time to make wine step by step. Therefore, in the afternoon, he directly bought a jar of strong aging wine in a time-honored winery. The medicinal materials can be blended into the aging wine in specific proportions and methods.
"These five packages of medicinal materials are all double portions. I use this jar of aged wine to blend the medicinal materials." Chu Xiu introduced.
Duanmu Yaoyao hummed softly and began to check the medicinal materials and the jar of aged wine. After confirming that the medicinal materials were fine and that the aged wine did not contain medicinal effects, she asked Chu Xiu to check the medicinal materials she had brought.
"When the time comes to determine the effectiveness of the medicine, should you and I make the judgment on our own, or should we find someone to judge?" Chu Xiu asked while checking the medicinal materials.
Duanmu Yaoyao muttered: "We can make our own judgments. If there are differences, we will find someone to test the medicine."
"Looking for someone to test the medicine?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly.
Duanmu Yaoyao said: "Prosperity does not mean peace. In Chang'an City, there are injured and sick people every day."
Chu Xiu nodded and said thoughtfully: "Then let's set it in three days."
"Okay." Duanmu Yaoyao knew that it would take a certain amount of time to refine the medicinal materials into medicine.
Chu Xiu glanced at Tang Jiabao, smiled and said, "In three days, I will give you the machine drawings."
"Um."
Tang Jiabao hummed, feeling a little depressed.
This bet hadn't even started yet, and he felt like he had already suffered a heavy loss.
After agreement.
Chu Xiu left half of the medicinal materials, took away half of the medicinal materials Duanmu Yaoyao brought, got up and returned to his room.
What surprised him was that when Tang Jiabao left the inn, Duanmu Yaoyao did not follow him.
Return to the room.
Chu Xiu lit the oil lamp and sat in front of the round table.
On the round table is a copy of the Four Treasures of the Study.
He actually didn't pay much attention to the bet with Duanmu Yaoyao.
In recent years, he has mixed and brewed too many medicinal materials. He believes that the combined medicinal materials can maximize the medicinal effects by brewing them and brewing them into wine.
He has the cold poison of Tianhuang Ice Silkworm in his body, and it is like a quality inspection device. He will know the efficacy of the medicine once he tries it.
What really interested Chu Xiu was the competition with Tang Jiabao.
"If I don't take the opportunity to make a few more fun things, I'd be really sorry for this gamble."
With a smile on his face, Chu Xiu planned to use his private life to help Tang Jiabao make more parts.
The night gets darker.
Hongxiu Tower is brightly lit.
At night, the business at Hongxiu Tower is at its busiest.
Tonight, Hongxiu Tower is much quieter than usual.
A melodious tune sounded slowly.
On the lobby stage.
Several dancers dance gracefully and charmingly.
"The cicadas are mournful, facing the pavilion at night, the showers are beginning to stop~..."
The melodious and mellow singing voice sounded leisurely.
The literati among the guests were startled, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully.
The song and dance ends.
Many guests’ eyes lit up.
"boom!"
A young man threw a gold ingot directly onto the stage.
"do it again."
Young Master shouted.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
People kept throwing gold and silver on the stage, all shouting 'do it again'.
In the corridor on the second floor.
Madam Liu's mother raised her eyebrows slightly.
She found that tonight's guests were particularly warm and generous.
What surprised her most was that most of the people who rewarded the stage were young men and literati.
Among them, an old regular customer who was very stingy actually donated generously this time and directly rewarded him with twenty taels of silver.
"Is this poem really unusual?" Liu's mother muttered.
The song and dance comeback.
The entire Hongxiu Tower seemed to be quiet, with only the sound of singing and music filling the air.
Most of the guests in the accommodations everywhere walked out of the accommodation, leaned on the railings, and listened to the singing and music.
Mother Liu couldn't calm down anymore.
This situation was beyond her expectation.
Wait until the second song and dance is over.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Guests one after another threw gold and silver on the stage without hesitation.
"do it again."
"do it again."
"do it again."
People kept shouting and were excited and excited.
"A famous song was born."
The eyes of the old prostitute with some literary talent are bright.
Mother Liu was also excited and looked at Xiang Jun, who was playing the piano with a smile at the end of the stage.
She knew that a new leader was about to appear in Hongxiu Tower.
"These seven or eight thousand taels of silver are well spent." Mother Liu chuckled. She didn't understand poetry or tunes, but she could understand the enthusiasm of the guests.
In particular, the group of literati who were stingy and liked to find fault with the girls' singing and dancing actually seemed extra generous this time.
Zhuque Academy.
Back mountain.
In a richly decorated high pavilion.
"Sentiment has hurt parting since ancient times, and it is even more embarrassing to neglect the Qingqiu Festival..."
An old man with a boyish face and fair hair pondered for a long time and said softly, "It's a masterpiece that can be passed down for at least a hundred years."
"but…"
The childlike old man changed the subject and smiled confidently:
"Compared with my works, it's still a bit inferior."
His surname is Feng.
Feng, Dean Feng of Zhuque Academy!
"Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"
"Whether it's literature or martial arts, I'm number one."
Dean Feng smiled proudly, and then gently raised his right hand. On the wall deep in the high pavilion, a palm-sized cyan jade tablet came up in the air.
On the front of the jade plaque, there are two blood-red words engraved:
Suzaku.
"Little guy, don't die before you take the proficiency test."
"As far as martial arts, I have already been invincible in the Nineteen States; but as a scholar, I have never been recognized. I hope you can come up with more good words, and then you will lose to me...hehehehe."
Dean Feng chuckled and hummed an ancient tune in a happy mood.
The green jade plaque engraved with the word "Suzaku" turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the main hall.
"..."
Often come to the inn.
Chu Xiu, who was concentrating on drawing, did not notice that a green jade plaque flashed into the room from the half-open window, and finally landed next to the embroidered pillow at the head of the bed.
Until midnight, when he was about to go to bed.
"This is..." Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed, he picked up the cyan jade plaque and saw the word 'Suzaku' on the jade plaque at a glance.
Naturally, I think of Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao.
These two people came from Suzaku Academy.
"Did they leave it to me, or did they sneak into my room and accidentally..."
Chu Xiu frowned and shook his head.
I feel that with the skills of Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao, they would not leave such a jade plaque, especially if it is next to the pillow.
If they took the initiative to stay, it seemed unlikely.
The three of them had just met in the evening. If they really wanted to give this jade plaque, there was no reason why they couldn't do it in person.
Sneaking into someone else's room without permission is definitely not what a gentleman would do.
Think carefully for a moment...
"It's better to wait until tomorrow morning to ask Duanmu Yaoyao."
The best way to handle this kind of thing is to be honest and ask questions face to face.
After a night of fermentation, Hongxiulou’s Xiangjun became popular.
Overnight, her worth skyrocketed.
She was already very beautiful and fragrant, but now she has another name attached to her. Xiangjun has vaguely replaced the oiran of Hongxiu Tower and become the new leader of Hongxiu Tower.
Where to wake up tonight!
This is the new name given by Hongxiu Tower to [Yulin Ling. Chilling Cicada].
It must be said that this new name has greatly increased the popularity of Hongxiu Tower.
In the early morning, the light is slightly drunk.
Smoke rose from the Chang Lai Inn, and the aroma of meat buns spread lightly.
Chu Xiu got up early, washed briefly, and then practiced the sword-drawing technique in the room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening next door, he immediately sheathed his sword and walked out of the room quickly.
Duanmu Yaoyao, who was still standing in front of the door, stopped, narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Xiu.
What does this man want to do? !
She didn't believe that the two of them had such a tacit understanding and opened the door together.
