Chapter 27 Teahouse Listening to the Book

Deyuelou was originally the most famous restaurant in the capital, but since Juxianlou was built in the south of the city, and the boss there spent a lot of money to poach some of his best chefs, the business that was originally good has been bleak day by day down.The original boss hated him so much, but there was nothing he could do. Who made him rich in financial resources, and he couldn't beat him, so he had to give the Deyue real estate to a boss surnamed Shao, and went back to his hometown.

Boss Shao was clever enough to pick up a bargain. He spent a lot of effort to tidy up and decorate the building.After reopening, Deyue is still the same, but the restaurant has been changed into a teahouse, and it has become an extremely elegant place.

Deyue Teahouse does not have more than four floors. The private seats on the second floor can overlook the street, and the third and fourth floors can overlook the market.

In the lobby, there are famous books from Wazili. On the stage, a young and handsome young man stands behind the desk.There were quite a few people who came to listen to the book admiringly. Sometimes they burst into laughter, and sometimes they lamented. They were quite engrossed in listening, and the cracked melon seeds scattered all over the floor.

Zhao Ling in white looked at the crowded scene and didn't want to go upstairs to the private seat.

Seeing that the two were well dressed, Xiao Er led them to a secluded place, quickly cleared a table, and smiled courteously, "What do you two want?"

Chunni used to travel around the world with her father and senior brothers, but she didn't have many opportunities to hear books. She took Zhao Ling to sit down, and ordered: "A pot of Yuqian Longjing, a dish of fragrant candies, and the rest you can figure out. Let's go." After finishing speaking, he put down an ingot of broken silver.

The waiter happily took the silver and went down, and after a while, he brought a table of refreshments and snacks.

The snacks here can't compare to the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace, but it's just a new idea.Chunni was holding a green apricot in a trance, Zhao Ling picked a piece of fruit rolled with sesame seeds and stopped eating, but carefully savored the treasures in the building.Before the rain, the fragrance of Longjing tea is overflowing, which is quite suitable for the spleen and stomach. Even in such a season, it will be very refreshing even in such a season.

The storyteller on the stage used his left hand to wield a fan, and his right hand beat the gavel like this, speaking and learning to sing, and it turned out that one person evolved eighteen kinds of sounds, which can be described as a masterpiece.

This book is called "The Golden Spear Against the Horse", and it tells the story of a family of generals serving the country loyally, a story of loyalty.There is no shortage of such people in any era: they have been stationed at the border all year round, guarding the hometown behind them with their blood and lives; they are extremely determined, and they have kept their loyalty oaths from generation to generation. They are a group of admirable heroes.

The General Liu family in the book is the mainstay of the country.Today's episode is talking about the bloody battle at the Golden Beach. The chief general Pan Zhongxun avenged his personal revenge, but he refused to respond at a critical moment, and just sat and watched the Liu family's army trapped at the entrance of Chenjiagu.Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through the encirclement, Mr. Liu would rather die than surrender, and finally touched the monument and died for his country.Old Linggong sat down and fought unyieldingly with his soldiers, and they all fell.Later, Liu Linggong's son Dalang Erlang Saburo died in battle one after another, Shiro disappeared, Wulang became a monk, and Qilang was framed by traitors with random arrows piercing his heart.

The seven sons of the Liu family went to the six sons and returned, leaving Liu Lang alone.

Speaking of this, the originally bustling lobby suddenly fell silent, and everyone in the audience was infected by the tragic atmosphere, and everyone felt reverence.

Chunni sighed silently, the emperor is lenient in government, and Bianjing is naturally loose in public opinion. This "Inverting the Horse and the Golden Spear" that has been circulated in the market actually only changed the name and surname, and brought all the stories of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion. .

"Yangliu, Yangliu..." Zhao Ling murmured in a low voice, nodding his head as if drunk, but it wasn't really a name change.

With a "pop", the gavel sounded, and the storyteller threw back the fan again, and started talking about the continuation.

Liu Liulang planned to capture Meng Liang and defeat the foreign army, but he died after the war due to the recurrence of his old injuries. His son, General Liu, was also ambushed by the enemy and died unfortunately.The general's wife took over the commander-in-chief and led a group of sisters-in-law in the general's mansion to fight against the national teacher of the Fan Kingdom.There were several life-and-death battles in succession, the scene was full of dangers, and the backs of the listeners felt cold and their hearts twitched.

"The Yang family sacrificed their lives to establish the country, triumphantly returned to Cheng En and added a new grave. The result of a loyal family is a house full of widows. It is sad, sad..." A faint exclamation was barely audible, but it poured in like thunder. In the ears of the two women.

Upon receiving the surprised gazes of the two, the young man across the table smiled faintly. He was dressed in a light blue narrow-sleeved tight-fitting long jacket and a round silk scarf, and he was dressed like a literati.

"Am I not right, two girls?" The man smiled gently. His appearance was not outstanding, but he was comfortable no matter how he looked at him.

Zhao Ling's eyes widened in surprise. She also knew that it was impossible to disguise herself as a warrior based on her body, but there was no possibility that there would be a problem with this scribe's attire.Last time, Uncle Eight Emperor and Lord Bao didn't even recognize him, how did this man see it? !

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and nodded his earlobe: "You can change your outfit, but the characteristics of your daughter's family cannot be erased."

Chun Ni curled her lips, even this stranger could notice the pierced ears, how could the Eighth Prince and Lord Bao not notice it?Not wanting to embarrass Zhao Ling, she changed the subject and said: "It is the duty of a courtier to eat the king's salary and share the king's worries. What's more, the people receive the protection of the country. Where to stay?"

"Yes." Zhao Ling suppressed the embarrassment on his face and cleared his throat, "For ordinary people, nothing is more important than a peaceful and stable life. The Yang family is loyal to the country and protects me. The country of the Great Song Dynasty protected tens of millions of people. This kind of dedication is tragic, but it can be regarded as seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence."

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head, glanced at her indifferently, raised his teacup and said, "You are not them, how do you know that they seek benevolence and gain benevolence?"

"You're not me, how do you know that I don't know?!" Zhao Ling said unconvinced, his voice raised slightly, and the people on the table next to him looked over curiously.She hurriedly drank tea with Chunni to cover up, but fortunately, the book on the stage was really wonderful, and it attracted everyone's attention in a short while.

"I don't know if you understand the Yang family's thoughts, and I don't understand how the Yang family views such a sacrifice. But I always believe that people have the right to live freely on this earth. No matter what the situation is, the value of the individual It should not be erased by the interests of teachers, families, and even the imperial power. Injuries are not easily erased, and the dead cannot come back. The men of the Yang family died for the country. Did they ever think about the orphans and widows who stayed behind? Sleepless at night? Not to mention that there are no males, and even female family members have to go to the battlefield. Who can know the pain of almost cutting off their children and grandchildren?" The light is shocking!

Chunni frowned, this person's idea was really daring, but it made people feel shocked and didn't want to refute it, just because they were deeply moved.Everyone said that her senior brother was a young hero, and was highly regarded by the emperor, but seeing him getting injured and sick because of official duties, how could she not hate those who hurt him?If it is not the closest person, who would know the pain of senior brother, and who would care about his injury?

Seeing that the two of them did not answer, the man in Tsing Yi smiled and put away his rebellious and insolent arrogance just now.He walked to the table of the two of them and sat down, lifted the teapot to store water in the cup, and there was a touch of gentleness between his brows.

"What if, what if there is no war?" Zhao Ling stared at the ups and downs of the tea powder in the cup with blank eyes.

"Of course it's better if there is no war, so there will be no casualties. But..." The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, showing a sarcastic smile, "Human nature is still greedy, especially those who hold power. As long as there is greed Pursue interests, where there are interests, there will be conflicts, and this country-to-country war is the product of collusion and conflict of interests. You say, how can there be no wars?"

"Yes." Zhao Ling picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. "No one wants to continue the conflict. When the time comes, they will find a balance. War is not the only way to gain benefits, but it will make people lose more benefits. If you can If there are better ways to gain profits than fighting, they would not choose to fight."

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and shook his head again, and was about to speak.A little second brother rolled down the stairs leading to the second-floor private room, and there were several angry curses from behind, not in Mandarin.The books in the lobby stopped, and everyone looked in that direction—the person who can make such a disturbance in Deyue Tower is not small.

The people who knew the basics were thinking wildly in their heads, and a few unusually tall men came down from the stairs, all dressed as Xia Guo warriors.Seeing this situation, the guests sitting at the tables near the stairs ran away in fright, and a few guests sitting by the door even slipped away quietly.

"Where's the shopkeeper? Tell your shopkeepers to come and see me!" The leader had a swollen face, looking rather vicious.He walked to the nearest table and sat down, and slapped a gleaming silver two-foot-long saber on the table.A few people next to him also stood behind him, with arrogant and domineering expressions on their faces.

"Oh, this kid is new and ignorant. If you have neglected the guest officer, just order and I will clean up for you. Why lose your temper so much, it is the shop's fault to hurt your body." A rich old man in a brown gown Turned out from behind the counter and winked.A few people nearby quickly helped Xiao Er who fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time to avoid it.

"Are you the shopkeeper here?" The big man squinted his eyes and said loudly, "Master, I want this kid to serve up good wine and good food, but he dares to tell me if he doesn't?!"

"I don't know objectively." The old shopkeeper replied with a smile, "Our Deyuelou is a tea house, and we buy dim sum and tea, and I'm afraid I have to invite you to sit elsewhere."

"Bastard!" The big man slapped the table vigorously, "Master, I just want to drink and eat meat here. How can there be so much nonsense when I open the door for business! You hurry up and serve me wine and food, sir, maybe I can forgive you if I am in a good mood You. Otherwise..." The people behind them all put their hands on the handles of their waists, as if if you don't obey me, I will kill you.

"Guest officer, aren't you trying to embarrass me on purpose? I..." The old shopkeeper smiled wryly, before he finished speaking, he stretched out his big fist, not wanting to be separated by someone's palm halfway, white and white The two red figures stood in front of the old man.

"I told you that this is a tea house and does not sell wine and vegetables. You even beat people up. You guys are still being unreasonable! At the feet of the emperor, you won't be allowed to mess around!!" Chun Ni gave a full-bodied and coquettish drink, and immediately made the surroundings give way. The man is ashamed.The man in Tsing Yi shook his head, took a sip of tea, and continued to watch from the sidelines.

Zhao Ling reached out to support the old shopkeeper who took a step back, and said gently: "The old man is not scared."

"No...no, thank you, sir." The old shopkeeper quietly put away the things in his hands, and made a few gestures with one hand on his back.Several guys also raised their hands and stood in several key positions calmly.

The big man was punched by his personality, and he was very angry. Hearing the two soft voices like Yingying, he had a different thought.The few people behind were also carefully looking at the two people who had come forward: the little lady in red was born with a good face, and she seemed to have a hot temper.The one in white is slender and looks really delicate, don't be a woman, even a man is good enough.Unexpectedly, there are such good things in the Song Dynasty...

A person behind him stood up and said: "This little lady has misunderstood, we are here to eat. It is time to eat at this hour, but there is nothing here, why don't we get angry?"

"It's normal for you to be unfamiliar with Da Song." Zhao Ling glared at the big man who had been staring at him, "Tea houses are different from restaurants, they don't sell food and drinks. The ones with the word 'tea' hanging outside the buildings are tea houses. The one with the word 'wine' on it is a restaurant. If you want to settle for dinner, go there quickly, don't embarrass the shopkeeper here." I'm afraid it was deliberately causing trouble.

"Yes, but wine and food are not enough, and you have to be accompanied by a beautiful woman." The big man's eyes almost popped out, and he stretched out his hand to grab Chunni's wrist, "Little lady, why don't you come with us?" Let's go." Just now, I can see that these two people have some kung fu, but they are not their opponents.

"We appreciate your kindness." Chunni frowned and said, "The two of us are in a hurry to go home, so please do what you want."

"Then how can I do it, little lady...Ah!!!! That bastard who wants to kill me dares to hurt me?!!!" The big man was about to grab someone, when there was an extra chopstick on his outstretched palm.

"Are you deaf?" A gloomy voice sounded, the man in Tsing Yi put down his teacup and said slowly, "Didn't you hear the girl say you don't want to?"

"You are so courageous! Kill me!" The big man roared while holding his bloody palm, several people behind him blocked the way in and out, and with a "wow", the big knife was unsheathed, and the tea drinkers huddled in a few corners , the guys in the store have copied the guy, and it seems that something will happen.

"Kang Dang——Kang Dang—" A few times, the big knife fell to the ground, and those murderous big men seemed to be frozen as if they were immobilized.

"Where did the unknown things come from, and they ran wild everywhere." With a cold voice, he floated in in white clothes, followed by a group of soldiers.It was Bai Yutang who replaced Zhan Zhao Xun Street.

He glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up: "So it's Xia Guo's mad dog. Do you really think that there is no one in Song Dynasty? Take them all back!"

"Yes!" The soldiers quickly escorted the troublemaker away.

"Thank you so much, Master Bai this time." The old shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, "If you hadn't come, how would those vicious guys bully us?! Master Bai, you really..."

"Stop, I understand." Bai Yutang extended his hand to stop the old shopkeeper and thanked him, "Do what you should do."

"Uh, yes." Knowing that this master is not easy to serve, the old shopkeeper hurriedly walked aside and said to the frightened tea guests, "Guests are frightened, the money for tea and snacks are all included in our Deyuelou On the account. Today we close early, I'm sorry everyone!" The crowd scattered around the audience.

"Brother Bai." Chunni hurried over, and put the locust stone that she had just picked up into Bai Yutang's palm.

"Brother Bai, are you coming to pick us up?" Zhao Ling asked cautiously, Bai Yutang's face was not very good-looking.

Bai Yutang glanced at her angrily, "No, I'm on the way." He put the locust stone in his arms and nodded towards the door, "That's the one who came to take you home." A gray figure walked in Saluting by the door, Zhao Ling recognized that it was her brother's shadow guard.

Bai Yutang glanced at the fried beans on the ground, raised his head, and looked at the man in Tsing Yi who was still drinking tea calmly at the table with a half-smile: "Long time no see, Brother Shao."

"Brother Bai, do you know each other?" Chunni asked curiously.

"This is the boss of Deyuelou, but my Bai family's biggest commercial competitor." Bai Yutang folded his arms, "With Boss Shao's ability, can't he deal with these Xia Guo rogues?"

"Brother Bai is joking again." The man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly and walked slowly, "The two young ladies are so brave, how can I make a move?" After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to the two seriously, "The two young ladies Shao You are polite." Zhao Lingchunni also returned the gift.

"I've never seen you so sour. They are my younger sisters. Take care of them more in the future." Bai Yutang laughed, "I have something to do today, let's talk about it some other day!"

"It's a word."
