Chapter 177 I care if she Xie Shisan or Song Shisan
"What? You are so angry that you finally stopped pretending?" Xu Pingting couldn't help but marveled at Yue Qingshuang's appearance.
She just couldn't stand the way Yue Qingshuang pretended to be aloof.
"Xu Pingting!"
"What? It's hard to say whether you dare to do something difficult or not? You don't even look at what you look like now, you look like a jealous woman, hahahaha!" Xu Pingting smiled wildly, "I really want people to see what you look like now.
of."
Yue Qingshuang couldn't bear it any longer: "Xu Pingting, why are you so proud? Even if it wasn't me, it wasn't you either!"
Xu Pingting reached out and stroked a strand of hair, and glanced at her lightly: "As long as it's not you who gets it, I'll be happy in my heart. I don't care whether it's Xie Shisan or Song Shisan."
Yue Qingshuang was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "You, you..."
Xu Pingting didn't care about her. She turned around and told the waiter beside her: "Put the hairpin on. I need this today."
Yue Qingshuang was confused again, but she had no intention of grabbing a hairpin from Xu Pingting at the moment. Xu Pingting grabbed the thing and left with the people in a swaggering manner.
Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao went to Chang'an Tower together.
Chang'an Tower is different from Fan Yue Tower. The people who come and go in Fan Yue Tower have always been rich or noble. Ordinary people don't dare to go there. Firstly, they really can't afford it. Secondly, they are afraid of accidentally offending the nobles.
Chang'an Building is more down-to-earth. No matter you are a dignitary or an ordinary citizen, you can sit there for a whole day just by ordering a bowl of tea and a plate of beans in the lobby. In addition, there is a high platform in the courtyard of this building, where there are usually storytellers.
, playing the piano and singing.
The store welcomes people with skills to come in and perform, but they won't pay them. However, how much reward they can get from customers depends on their own abilities.
However, if there are many people who want to come in for a performance, they need to discuss with the store. Whether they can be queued up depends on their ability and conditions.
Today was the perfect time to listen to books. The two of them asked for two booths on the second floor facing the atrium. They planned to drink tea, listen to books, and pass the time.
The partition is not like an elegant room, it is simply separated by a screen. There is only a square table next to the window and chairs on both sides. There is not even a door. At most, there is only a screen that can be pushed through, which is slightly blocked.
Look at the eyes of passers-by in the aisle outside.
As soon as the two sat down, an old woman wearing a gray dress and her hair carefully combed came to the door holding an incense burner: "Do you want to use incense? The old woman Du Xiangpo is a famous incense woman nearby."
The Dongming Dynasty changed the extravagant style of the previous dynasty, but there were policies and countermeasures. Since you can't be extravagant, let's be more elegant. How can the things of literati be called extravagant? They are elegant things.
Therefore, whether it is a noble clan, a scholar, or an ordinary family, they especially like to light incense. The rich people pay more for it, but for ordinary families, burning a furnace of cypress incense is also an elegant thing.
They played music and lit incense, drank tea, listened to books and lit incense, and also lit incense while eating.
So there was a group of people walking between restaurants to provide incense services to the guests, which was called "Xiangxiang", and those who engaged in this industry were called Xiangpo.
The Xiang Po goes to the guests before they eat to perform incense, and the incense they order is to appetizer and strengthen the spleen. If it is done after the guests have eaten, the incense they order is to soothe and digest food.
Xie Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, but we won't light any incense today."
The incense woman saluted, then took the incense burner and left to find the next guest.
Xie Yixiao thought for a moment and felt that the incense making industry could still be pursued.
Making incense is different from powder making. In this era, making incense is already very complete, and there are many such shops. If she does this, she actually has no advantage, but if she thinks about it carefully, if the social demand is large, it is not
Can't.
The waiter in the store quickly brought tea and snacks. Xie Yixiao asked someone to bring a big bowl over and washed the tea cup before pouring the tea.
After sharing the hot tea, she took a sip of the tea and ate a piece of lotus seed cake. She thought it was very good. Then she asked him to try it again: "Try this one. I think it's okay. It's not very sweet."
Rong Ci ate a piece and thought it was okay, then pinched two walnuts for her, and the two of them drank tea, ate snacks and listened to books.
The storyteller is telling the story of "The Old Case of the Qing Dynasty" this time.
At the beginning of the founding of the Dongming Dynasty, military generals pacified the world and civilian officials governed the mountains and rivers. This "Qing Jiu Case" tells the story of clearing up various false and unjust cases left over from the previous dynasty and restoring a clear sky to the world.
What we are talking about this time is "Xuanpinghou killed Baili three times". The name of Xuanpinghou is Xu Zhengnian. He was ordered to conquer the old mountains and rivers in the past. He once served as the prefect of Tongzhou. There was a powerful clan in Tongzhou called Bailishi, Bailishi.
Lishi had a son who did many evil things and harmed countless people. Bailishi was so powerful that he covered the sky and the sun.
It tells the story of how Marquis Xuanping battled wits and courage with Bailishi, captured the thieves, and overthrew the powerful Bailishi who enslaved the people. The story has ups and downs and is extremely exciting.
Listening and listening, it was the most critical moment. The storyteller was shocked and left this sentence: "If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter."
The audience was in an uproar when they listened to the book. They called the storyteller dishonest and said that the most exciting part was missing. This was simply too much.
Xie Yixiao couldn't spit out a breath and couldn't swallow it, so he couldn't help but complain: "The storyteller is just like the writer. Whenever the critical moment comes, please listen to the next chapter to decompose it. Each and every one of them is very interesting."
.”
After that, she asked Rong Ci again: "Do you know what happens next?"
Rong Ci said: "I don't know much. Marquis Xuanping first killed Baili Yong, who was so evil, and then questioned the head of the Baili clan, and then defeated them one by one. From then on, the Baili clan collapsed."
After thinking for a while, he tried to explain: "I am looking at the file, there is not so much process."
"I think this is a script they asked someone to write. Unfortunately, I'm going to Cao Guogong's mansion tomorrow and won't have the chance to come over and listen to his next analysis." Xie Yixiao sighed.
After a while, a girl wearing a peach dress came on stage to play the piano.
Not everyone in the lobby knew how to appreciate this, so they gathered together to talk, which was much noisier than before. As they were talking, someone mentioned something.
"Have you heard? The Marquis of Changning and the Nian family broke off their engagement today?"
"What? Real or fake?"
"Really, the news just came out from the Nian family, it happened this morning."
"Didn't this happen just after the wedding, and the engagement hasn't been officially announced yet? Why did you cancel?"
"Hey, I heard that the eldest girl from the Changning Marquis Mansion got sick again after Xiaoding. She was so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed."
"The old lady from Changning Marquis Mansion found someone to tell her fortune. She said that she had a strange destiny and was not suitable for casual marriage. If she met someone with a different destiny, she would have to live half her life even if she didn't die."
