Chapter 375: Calling Bees(1/2)
Monk Wuji was drunk.
Liu Xianglian was very sober.
I have been to Duiliu City myself. As a city built by the people themselves, although Duiliu City has many shortcomings, it is still the hard work and dream of countless people.
Today, Duiliu City, which countless people have worked hard for day and night, is broken, and many people's dreams are shattered.
Like weeds, they move to a new home and start over.
The bright moon is getting fuller and fuller, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Liu Xianglian raised her head and looked at the full moon like a silver plate. Every detail of silver appeared in this temple.
"Come here, Master Wuji is drunk, please arrange for him to rest."
After settling down Master Wuji, Liu Xianglian stood up and said goodbye.
When I arrived at the entrance of the temple, I saw Su Jinghuan squatting in the corner and shivering.
"Miss Su, when did you come?"
Liu Xianglian exclaimed softly, quickly stepped forward and put her fox fur cloak on Su Jinghuan and said, "Miss Su, why are you so stupid? Why don't you go in just waiting here by yourself?"
Su Jinghuan's plain little face had turned red from the cold. When she saw Liu Xianglian, she immediately broke out into a big smile. If the tears hadn't flowed out involuntarily and affected her image, she would have been a pretty lady.
"Liu Xianglian, you and that monk are old acquaintances. How can I interrupt if our drinking together doesn't end?"
Then who am I, Su Jinghuan?"
"Okay, okay, Miss Su is the most loyal person. Have you eaten? You won't be hungry, right?"
"I didn't...gugu..."
Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "Come on, you're not hungry and I am. Come on, let's go to the best restaurant in Changzhou. I heard that the Changzhou Silver Noodles are one of a kind. We can't miss it."
Su Jinghuan followed Liu Xianglian, snickering.
Everything is just right.
Her life experience, including the unfounded betrothed, had been completely arranged. She did not expect that this lame Taoist would be the culprit of this confrontation between the court and the private salt dealers.
[The lame Taoist actually wants to repeat the Red Mansion by changing the general trend of the world. I think the same is true for the Laitou monk.]
Su Jinghuan was secretly vigilant. She had never heard of such practice before, let alone seen it.
The emperor is protected by the luck of the race, so we don’t know what consequences this will have.
Of course, when Su Jinghuan found the lame Taoist, she did not reveal her identity. As a vigilant fairy, she understood people's greed and fear better than others.
The shadows are getting longer and longer, and getting smaller and smaller.
At this time, she just needs to be her own little woman with peace of mind, and when the time is right, she can personally send her group of romantic and resentful little flower fairies back.
There was no conversation all night, and at dawn the next day, Liu Xianglian went to say goodbye to Wuji and Xu.
When leaving, Monk Wuji whispered to Liu Xianglian: "Master Liu, I met Master Zhitong in Jinling City a few days ago. I don't know where I found out about my relationship with you, and ordered me to let you know when I saw you.
You go to Jinling Quyuan."
Master Zhitong?
When they went to the capital that day to say goodbye, Liu Xianglian thought he had been captured by Shui Zheng's masters.
I didn't know at one time, I just thought that the people who fought with Zhitong that day were passing masters. But now I know that those two people are none other than Shui Zheng's two master eunuchs, Dai Quan and Xia Zhong.
"Thank you, Master Wuji. I'll remember it, kid!"
"Amitabha, I almost forgot after drinking yesterday.
Fortunately, you came to see me today, so I can have the honor to make up for my mistakes. How can I be grateful?"
Liu Xianglian called to Taxue, put Su Jinghuan on the horse, and clasped her fists at Monk Wuji: "Master, let's say goodbye now. See you someday."
"Mr. Liu, you must come to Xining Mansion after your secular affairs are over. We, Mr. He, want to see you."
"must!"
The wind was blowing and the grass was blowing. Su Jinghuan was playful and coquettish along the way, which delayed the trip.
After grinding for three days, Liu Xianglian was urged to continue on her way.
Liu Xianglian was afraid of delaying the deadline promised to her senior sister, so she quickly whipped up her whip and flew to Shaoxing Prefecture.
"Miss Su, I wonder which young master you are betrothed to?"
As soon as she entered Shaoxing Mansion, Liu Xianglian asked quickly.
Although I was somewhat reluctant to give up on Su Jinghuan's clever mind, everyone had their own ambitions and affairs, and he had no territory and no stage for Su Jinghuan to break out of his own pattern.
What's more, Su Jinghuan had no dissatisfaction with the marriage arranged by her family.
The only thing I'm worried about is that I don't know whether my future husband-in-law will be smooth or pockmarked, Japanese or watermelon.
"Wu Ji...no, it's Wu You, the young master of Wu Ji Winery."
She almost said it wrong. After Su Jinghuan finished speaking, she quickly stroked her chest and said, "When I was very young, I listened to what my father said."
"Wine shop?"
Knowing the owner of this marriage, Liu Xianglian quickly went around to inquire.
At this time, Liu Xianglian was more elegant and mature than before, and she was polite and courteous to everyone. The neighbors in Shaoxing were very enthusiastic.
But for a long time, I still didn’t find out where this mysterious Wuji Winery was?
"Sir, I have heard of Wu Ji Winery."
Just when Liu Xianglian was at a loss what to do, an uncle said to Liu Xianglian mysteriously.
"Oh? That's great, uncle, where is Wuji Winery? Not many people know about such a time-honored brand?"
For people who are not good at wine, Liu Xianglian can understand that they don't care where the wine shop is.
At this time, he had not noticed anything strange.
The uncle looked strange: "Time-honored brand? What time-honored brand? There is no winery in the whole Shaoxing Prefecture that I, Lao Zhang, don't know about, but I have never heard of a time-honored brand like Wuji Winery."
However, there is a newly opened Wuji Winery.
I just don’t know if it’s the one the young master is looking for.”
"Newly opened?"
Liu Xianglian was full of doubts at this time. If it was newly opened, it's no wonder that not many people knew where it was.
"May I ask, uncle, where is this newly opened Wu Kee?"
"Go straight ahead and turn right at the second intersection. You will see that Wuji Winery is holding a wine-buying and giving-away event these two days. Many drunkards are there."
After the uncle finished speaking, he went to do his own business.
"Miss Su, let's go take a look."
"That's...okay."
"Don't take it to heart. If this isn't it, we'll just look for it again."
Liu Xianglian thought that Su Jinghuan was disappointed because Wu Ji was not a time-honored brand and was not the one she was engaged to.
In fact, Su Jinghuan was distracted by the lame Taoist's ability to do things.
This old guy is still a grand master after all. Although he is divided into two parts now, he is still a master among the masters. How can he not be like the old one?
For three whole days, I couldn't even make this kind of momentum.
She was really afraid that the truth would be revealed and Liu Xianglian would catch the clues.
"Thank you Mr. Liu, I'm just a little scared about the sudden news."
"Don't be afraid. Miss Su has traveled all over the country and has seen a lot. She should know how to stop the enemy when soldiers come. Let's go."
Shaoxing Mansion is very lively.
This place has not been affected by the war. The streets and alleys are full of laughter and gossip.
When Liu Xianglian and Su Jinghuan walked together, they envied many young girls and young wives. They secretly scolded Su Jinghuan for being a coquettish fox for hooking up with a great young man.
"Li Tou, look at that girl!"
A pair of police officers on the street corner pointed at Su Jinghuan who was walking.
"Hey, this little lady is so handsome."
"Li Tou, how about her?"
"That's fine. As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist. She came to Shaoxing and was bumped into by me, so she deserves it."
That Li Tou should be a policeman, in his thirties.
Recently I have been
Worrying about the errands assigned to him by the prefect.
Shaoxing Prefecture was a prosperous city, so there were only a few female beggars on the streets. If you caught eight or nine beggars, they would be considered clean, and then the prefect would buy a few of them in pain and then lose a cent.
