Chapter 59
Perhaps the shopkeeper was because we were friends with Chen Fuqing. Not only did we not receive our silver, but he also chose a sky room specifically for us, and the location was quite similar to my heart. It was a remote courtyard in the small building in Nanhe River, which was generally undisturbed; the style was a Sanhe Courtyard. Under the guidance of the waiter, you can see the towering horse head walls, pink walls and black tiles from afar, which was very Jiangnan style.
When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the waiter stopped with a wink, gave a few instructions on related matters, and then left. The three of us glanced at each other, and after we randomly divided our rooms, we turned our heads and went to pack up our bags.
I chose the wing room in the west, saying that it was to tidy up my luggage, but there was nothing to clean up. I just took out some clothes and placed them neatly, and threw the bag on the square table in the house indifferently, and went out to find Namo and Xiao Ge. Finally, the three of them gathered in a daze in the courtyard, with six eyes for a long time, and Nan Wu was the first to shout: "What's the use of hesitating here? Just take advantage of the fact that the color has not yet darkened, so it's better to go out for a trip and come back late... Besides, you can't stay outside for a long time." This decision was not refuted, so Xiao Ge responded to support it.
When I arrived at the lobby, I saw the shopkeeper lying lazily on a chair of the Grand Master. The noisy sound in the hall failed to make the shopkeeper frown and let the waiter jump up and down. I looked at the scene in front of me speechlessly, but I haven't said anything for a long time - I'm so lazy and blatant to neglect my duties, so I'm not afraid of being seen by the current owner Chen Liangzhu one day. I let him roll the bed and leave in anger? What's even more admirable is that the waiter who was still busy on the side of the house just now could take the time to turn back and smile at us when he saw the three of us.
I was stunned, but I smiled automatically, walked forward, looked at the lobby with confusion, and asked, "Aren't there only two or three people before? Why did I just left shortly after... "The waiter was stunned: "Don't you know?" I was stunned, and then shook my head. But the waiter just asked, and showed a sudden enlightenment. While freeing his hand to pat my shoulder, he explained, "I forgot that you are not from Jianghu... A month later, there is an annual martial arts event called 'Wine Banquet'. As the name suggests, this banquet does not compete in internal strength, but only in alcohol... It was held in the north of Sichuan, but this year I don't know what happened, but I turned to Jiangnan. Now I'm just here for some people who are not very patient and have good wine. In a few days, there will be more people."
When I heard the wine banquet, Namo and I subconsciously swallowed. On the other hand, Xiao Ge was the most ordinary of the three of us. It was true that he thought about it carefully. Although he was caught by Namo and Gan Yu and forced a few jars to the wine cellar, he was not a good person. When he saw him having a few drinks, he refused to drink any more. He was really a person who was strict with himself.
Nan Wu was even more excited. I was afraid that I would ask the place of the banquet next. But surprisingly, Nan Wu was excited for a moment and suddenly remembered something. His whole body seemed to be splashed from top to bottom by cold water, his expression was depressed and gloomy, and he said softly: "It's such a shame, I didn't have the chance to participate." Seeing this, I was a little curious. He once said, "Wine is fate. Even if I get to the Naihe Bridge, I still have to drink another bowl, otherwise I will not even be willing to throw myself into the fetus." What a tragic thing that happened to him that he even gave up his life? I wanted to ask more, but the other party obviously didn't want to say more, so I could only ignore it.
He turned to the waiter who was busy on the side and asked, "Waiter, there is a good place nearby, so the three of us want to go out for a walk." The waiter was obviously very familiar with "Yu Heguan". After hearing this, he quickly recited a bunch of names without thinking, but his actions did not stop, which made me stunned.
However, when I went out, I suddenly saw the tilde case placed in front of the shopkeeper. This tilde case was not very special. Although it was not very suitable to put it in this place and was a bit inappropriate, what made me stop was a slender brush placed on the table. Its pen tube was not as empty as an ordinary brush, but was carved with some strange stripes, the lines were very disordered and there were no rules, but what I was very sure and confused was that I was very familiar with the lines.
Until Xiao Ge pulled out the door, he racked his brains to think.
There are indeed many beautiful scenery in Jiangnan - bluestone slabs. The bells that are completely opposite to the temple are crisp, bright, not dull and depressing. The misty rain is misty, and paper umbrellas can always collide inadvertently, red, black, blue... In the distance, there are occasionally casual conversations between men, and the seemingly non-existent cursing and playing of women in Jiangnan. In short, it is beautiful. But perhaps because of something in my heart, even Namo is no longer as disappointed as before. He lingers in front of various stalls with great enthusiasm, but he is still entangled in the drawings on the brush.
Maybe my depression was too obvious. Xiao Ge, who had been standing next to him, asked first: "Brother, do you have something to do in your heart?" I was stunned. Before I could answer, Namo, who had been picking things in a hurry, came over and said heartlessly: "Xiao Ge didn't say it, I haven't noticed... Why? Your wife was abducted by a man next to me?" I was furious and cursed Nan Wu that he couldn't speak, of course he was not polite. He grabbed his ear when he was unprepared: "What are you thinking in your heart every day? When did I have a wife?"
Nan Wu hurriedly covered his ears and tried to avoid them, but he refused to give in his words: "So you are worried about not having a wife?" I was stunned and retorted with a conditioned reflex: "How is it possible? I am just..." Before he finished speaking, Nan Wu had avoided my hand, covered his ears, and shouted to a group of Jiangnan women not far away: "Did the girl in front be married? This person next to me is an excellent husband, handsome, rich and well-off girls, and girls with willingness will start to go to the small-shu in Nanhe River, the westernmost Sanhe Courtyard. I thanked me here..."
After hearing this, I looked at the teasing eyes of the people around me again, quickly reacted, glared at Nan Wu, pulled Xiao Ge and him and fled in panic. I felt so embarrassed that I was so eye-catching on the street.
He pulled them all the way into a relatively remote alley, and then he had time to look at Nan Wuhuo: "What are you doing? Don't harm me if you want to have fun, right?" Nan Wu raised his eyebrows and smiled at me: "Why is your face so thin? This little thing is worthy of being angry?" I choked in my throat and said angrily: "You are so proud of your thick-skinned?"
Namo put on the monk's robe and smiled and said, "Of course, life is not satisfactory, and it will be easier to relax your heart for a while." I glanced at him and knew that I could not tell him this time, so I immediately stopped talking and refused to say anything. However, Namo was unwilling to let me go so easily, as if he was pondering for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Are you thinking about that brush?"
I was stunned and asked, "How did you know?"
Nan Wu smiled and said, "When I came out, you kept staring at the direction of the shopkeeper. Although the shopkeeper was not ugly, he looked old and you didn't have such a heavy taste. So I thought about it and saw the brush." I turned black and black: "What does the first half mean? You can know without thinking." Nan Wu ignored me and slapped my head. After seeing my gritted teeth with satisfaction, he said, "Don't interrupt me! Do you think the stripes on it are very familiar?"
When I heard Namo say something serious, I stopped talking, nodded gently, leaned against the wall, and listened carefully to his opinion.
He did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He looked at me with admiration, and then said without any hesitation. He smiled and said, "Of course you will be familiar with it... Brother Shu used to force you to see some rare beasts, right? The brush was engraved with Jiuying and Zhuyin."
