Mirror flowers and water moon, castles in the air.
Beauty is beautiful, but it is ultimately untouchable.
Li Suijiu looked at the handsome mountain peaks without any disturbance in his heart.
After making the fish soup in the kitchen, Qian'er also woke up, smelling the fragrance of the fish soup, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips.
As a result, there was a scene of a girl and a cat fighting for food in the thatched cottage.
Tong Xiaotang drank bowl after bowl.
The black cat was also unwilling to be the second one, gulping down the soup while protecting the pots and bowls.
In the end, both the girl and the cat were satisfied.
"belch!"
After burping, Tong Xiaotang touched his bulging belly and went to patrol the streets.
Li Suijiu went out with the black cat. He still had the red gourd hanging on his waist and the woodchopping knife. This appearance has become the norm now.
…
The entrance of Pinmingxuan is very lively today.
Both those who had money to drink tea and those who had no money to talk, all gathered here, talking in twos and threes about the strange things that happened in the debate meeting yesterday.
Of course, there are obviously many more new faces at the door of the teahouse today.
There are scholars, there are escort heads, all dressed up in different ways.
In addition, a sedan chair was parked opposite the teahouse.
The materials used are very particular, with an animal head representing wealth carved on the top, and a white peony painted on the curtain of the sedan, which is extremely gorgeous.
"Have you heard? At yesterday's debate meeting, Li Suijiu converted Chu Zhongbai and became Sidu Dragon Shepherd Lord!"
"Is it true? There is such a strange thing?"
"It's absolutely true. The storyteller in the teahouse was telling you that story today. It's called "Shui Mang Cao". It's just that the story was retold by people in the literary society, but it's a little different."
"Let's go and listen first!"
Even pedestrians passing by were attracted and leaned against the door of Lou Cha, listening in with their ears pricked up.
However, the waiter in the teahouse who was supposed to be enthusiastic was now stern.
"Those who don't listen to the book should stop blocking the door and give way!"
"Brother, are there any stories told at the argumentative conference in this teahouse?" A scholar in a blue shirt came first, followed by a dozen young men dressed in long robes.
You will be a scholar at first glance!
The teahouse waiter's expression softened at this moment: "Yes, yes, please invite some of the gentlemen."
"That's very good." Several scholars looked at each other and nodded. After speaking, they added: "Then please ask the second brother to arrange a private room."
"Private rooms? That's okay. Have you seen the sedan opposite? This is Jin Gui's owner. She has booked all the private rooms in our teahouse."
While the waiter at the teahouse was talking, he was thinking about how he saw the woman getting off the sedan in the morning, and for a moment he was a little lost.
I worked in a teahouse for several years.
The waiter thought that he had seen many officials and their daughters, but he had never seen another woman with a face like that of the woman in the white dress.
Just as he was thinking about it, he was interrupted by the scholars.
"We all come from Jinlin, I hope the second brother can make it easier." As he spoke, the scholar in blue took out two pieces of silver from his arms and stuffed them quietly.
"Really not." The waiter in the teahouse shook his head and refused to pay.
"To be fair, my second brother, my surname is Zhou Mingyou. Have you ever heard of me?" The scholar in blue shirt announced his family name.
"Traveling around?" The waiter in the teahouse looked at the scholar in blue shirt.
He vaguely felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Where did you hear that?
Before he could think about it, his eyes caught sight of a man and a cat walking on the street.
The appearance of the green shirt and black cat is really easy to identify.
The waiter's eyes widened. He ignored the scholar in blue shirt and walked straight towards the man and the cat: "Here you go, sir. The boss has been waiting for you!"
"Sir?" Li Suijiu was stunned.
"Yes, yes, no one in the city is allowed to call you sir. Even I, the little one, licked my face and shouted!" The waiter in the teahouse had a face that was so flattering that he did not hide it.
Li Suijiu understood.
Yesterday at the argumentative essay meeting, his article "Shui Mang Cao" influenced Chu Zhongbai in public, and he gained some fame.
As a result, everyone no longer called him 'Li Xiucai', but instead called him 'Mr.
In this era, to be called Mr. Yi is a person who is extremely knowledgeable and respected.
"Well, lead me in." Li Suijiu nodded.
"Sir, please come inside. The boss has specially reserved a private room for you." The waiter at the teahouse stepped back carefully, with a respectful expression.
The scholar in blue shirt and others frowned.
We were obviously the ones who came first!
Before he could speak, the waiter in the teahouse said again: "I'm sorry, sorry, please give way first, and I'll greet you later after I've led you into the teahouse!"
"Hmph, look at this young master, he is only eighteen years old, how can he deserve the word 'sir'?"
Such an action naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the people behind the blue-shirted scholar.
"How dare you insult sir!" The waiter at the teahouse immediately became angry.
"You two good brothers must not be rude."
Zhou You interrupted the two people who were about to continue the squeeze, and then said: "The purpose of my coming here is to listen to the story of "Shui Mang Cao", but don't let any conflict arise here."
After saying that, he looked at the waiter at the teahouse: "Since the waiter is soliciting customers in the teahouse, he must know my name. We are not here for a quarrel.
It's just that first come first served aside, the younger brother made it clear just now that all the private rooms in the tea house are occupied by one person. How come this young master has another private room when he comes? "
"What did you just say your name was?"
"You will travel next week, coming from Golden Scale."
"Oh, I don't know!" The waiter in the teahouse sneered and looked at Zhou You.
"..." Traveling around.
"You waiter, you have a pair of dog eyes for nothing, you are soliciting customers at the door of this teahouse, and you don't even know Brother Zhou's name?!"
"So what if you don't know?"
The noise grew.
Li Suijiu's expression was slightly startled.
Traveling around?
Is it the one who wrote "Wandering Tales"?
He looked at the scholar in blue shirt at the door of the teahouse. He was about thirty years old. Although his appearance was nothing out of the ordinary, he still had a certain demeanor.
Speaking of which, Li Suijiu has also read this traveling book, and he can be considered to have learned some knowledge from it.
Well, you are a guest!
"Since these few are here from Jinlin, I will do my best to serve as a landlord today. Second brother, please give me my private room to them. I can just sit in the hall freely."
One person, one cat, and one table are enough.
"Haha, Young Master, speaking like this makes us look rude." The other party obviously didn't appreciate it.
"Oh, then I won't let you." Li Suijiu nodded and walked in.
"..."
Zhou You and others were stunned.
For a moment, he didn't react.
Wait until you see a person and a cat about to enter the teahouse.
A scholar finally spoke again: "There has always been a rule when listening to books in our Golden Scale City. Those who are talented will naturally sit in the first place. We don't want to give in to you like this. If you are really talented, you can compare with me by one or two." How about a poem?"
"Comparing poems and essays?"
"Yes, if we win and the young master gives up his private room, I will help him pay for today's tea. It is not considered rude. I wonder if the young master dares to compete?"
"What if I win?"
"Young master, if you have any conditions, just say so!"
"Then how about inviting the guests of Pinmingxuan to each drink a pot of tea?"
"Okay." The other party didn't hesitate at all, and then said: "Since we are competing in poems and essays, I also ask you to tell me your name. If you really win, we will also know who lost it."
"Haha, you will know when you enter the teahouse."
"???"
