Chapter 163
The streets of Luoyang.
Summer is at the head, and the sound is endless.
A willow plant at the mouth of the street alley is particularly thick, and under the shade of such a tree, there is a tea shop with an exceptionally neat storefront.
This has also become a good place to cool off in summer, and many people will come here in the heat, order a pot of tea, talk homely, and kill time.
The tea seller was a sixty-year-old man, and seeing that the business was getting better, he asked a pair of sons and daughters who were busy with the farm to come here to help out the business.
Originally, this kind of work was only suitable for the daughter-in-law to come to do the chores, after all, the woman was good at bargaining with the guests.
The old man has a simple personality, has been doing business in this city for more than ten years, and has always been thin-skinned, and he can't open this mouth.
It's just that a few years ago, the daughter-in-law caused a disaster and offended a group of idle people who drank tea.
This old man did not dare to let his daughter-in-law come to suffer this sin.
Until now, thinking about that storm, the old man still has palpitations.
That time, if it weren't for someone passing through the tea shop, I really couldn't get used to the gang of idle people in the rivers and lakes, etc., and helped each other in a narrow sense.
I am afraid that the innocence of the daughter-in-law will be wasted by these people.
To this day, the old man is still guilty and uneasy, feeling that he has no appearance, and his son has not appeared.
It would be nice if his own son was as personable as Engong.
Not to mention going to the court to get an official position, at least you don't have to work so hard yourself, and you still get a tea shop here.
Later, this person often came to visit the tea shop, did not talk much, just ordered a pot of tea, drank it and left.
Then there will always be silver money left on the tea table, no more, no less, just enough for a pot of tea.
The old man originally thought that he would not collect money, so he picked up the silver money on the table and chased it out, but where can you still see the figure of Engong?
Later, the old man got used to it.
However, every time the tea is good.
But today is not necessary, this young Engong sat opposite a burly man wearing a cloak on his head, and he couldn't see clearly.
Could it be that this person is a close relative and friend of the Duke of En?
But the two of them have completely different styles!
However, the old man is not a tongued woman, so he did not mention this mouth.
The old man looked at the two as if they were talking about things, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Gongzi, how about I change a private room for the two?" "
The young man who he regarded as a benevolent duke quickly looked sideways and said, "It's okay, then it's tiring." "
The old man saw the two get up and quickly walked in front to lead the way.
While leading the way, he said with a smile: "Looking at Gongzi is the material for doing big things, which is like the kid in my family, if there are three points like Gongzi, then I will also burn high incense." "
"Harm, I'm also an age, why say this, I want to open a lot!"
The young man listened to these words of the old man, and did not pick up, but just smiled faintly.
The old man noticed Engong's smile, quickly invited the two into the private room, closed the door, and then happily went to greet the other tables of tea guests.
Tea shops come and go with small profits, but fortunately, there are still many repeat customers, and at the end of the day, they can still end up a lot.
At the table next to it, it was a reader, and his voice was not loud, but it sounded like he was talking about the person in Luoyang Center.
At the other table, most of them are walking in rough clothes, speaking in a good voice, and with a foreign accent.
Several tables of guests did not interfere with the river water, and they talked very happily.
A scholar put down the tea bowl and sighed: "Today's saint is worthy of a generation of Ming Lords, Goguryeo has become a colony of our Great Sui, and His Majesty has opened a big school."
"In the future, above the court, it will no longer be the monopoly of the family gate, which is an opportunity for you and me!"
Another student who was studying hard at the same window said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that His Majesty was decisive in killing, and if he can one day enter the dynasty as an official, it will naturally be excellent." "
......
A table of aspiring readers, optimistic about their future.
At the other table, the leader of the jianghu who wore a slightly higher countertop recklessly put down the tea bowl in his hand.
He didn't point to anyone, and said with a smile: "I heard that Cihang Jingzhai in the rivers and lakes has already sent a holy girl to find the chosen one." "
"I just don't know, this emperor today is still not the emperor for some time..."
The brother next to him pulled his clothes and shook his head slightly to signal his brother not to be angry.
After all, this is Luoyang, there are many spies in the West Factory, don't let the disaster come out of the mouth.
The scholar at the head of the table looked calm, and slowly spoke: "Mangfu is also worthy of saying the world's major events?" "
"What is Cihang Jingzhai? Do I see that you are really toads opening their mouths to the sky, swallowing the sun and eating the moon? "
"On behalf of the Heavenly Chosen Emperor, the tone is really big."
Quarrel with people, where do quarrels quarrel with quarrels who have read books.
That quack man was probably an impatient reckless man, and when he heard this snarky sarcasm, he immediately held a sword on the table.
But fortunately, he was immediately held down by several people at the same table, so that there was no accident.
However, the table of the people of the rivers and lakes did not say a word from beginning to end, and immediately smiled: "The toad swallows the sky and eats the moon, that is called zhiqi!" "
"Even if it is ugly, it is just that the eyes are higher than the top, but the frog at the bottom of the well looks at the sky, but it is stingy..."
A scholar glanced at the casually dressed quack and sneered, "What are you?" "
Hearing this, the casually dressed jianghu man said flatly: "Let's not talk about me, even if you have read a few sage books, you are not even a thing." "
"If I were your father, I shouldn't have ridden your mother in the first place, and what was the use of giving birth to you?"
At this table, the people of the rivers and lakes all smiled and closed their mouths, secretly giving a thumbs up to this person.
Then they ignored this gang of angry scholars who almost blew up their lungs.
This scene happened to be seen by this young man who was honored as a benevolent prince in the tea shop.
He hurriedly greeted the old man and said with a smile: "Come, add another pot of good tea to these strong men, this is silver money." "
The people at that table were not pretentious when they arrived, and they thanked them with a generous fist.
The voices outside were still endless, and the two went their separate ways after leaving the tea shop.
The burly man with the cloak on his head quickly left Luoyang and headed all the way north.
The young man, on the other hand, went around in circles and returned to a mansion.
There is a plaque above the mansion.
Shangshu Lifu two words.
