Chapter 150: This Lively World
Shi Zelan remembered the way Master Qicheng looked at her, which seemed somewhat familiar, so she immediately did not refute Shi Xiaoliu's words.
After Xia Yu, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stopped fighting, the three of them sat on the steps. Shi Xiaoliu said, "This place is really great. The noise we made when fighting was loud, but no neighbors came to ask about it."
Shi Zelan turned to look at Xia Yu: "We're going to go to the capital for a while, can you go out?"
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Of course I can go out. I have been out several times.
But on our street, because of the weather, the doors of all the courtyards are closed. ”
"It's hot, so your street should be quiet."
Shi Xiaoliu told Xia Yu the truth, and he smiled and said, "The street where we live is very busy.
Although we have to take the feelings of our neighbors into consideration when we live here, I still like the street where we live. ”
Shi Zelan nodded in agreement: "Our street has a human touch, and your street should have it too, but each household has too many things to do."
Xia Yu looked at them unhappily: "We don't have to boil water or cook soup for three meals a day. We can do whatever we want in our own yard. Can you do it?"
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, Shi Xiaoliu replied confidently: "Where we live allows us to experience all kinds of human life."
The three friends turned their heads away from each other. After a while, Master Qicheng came over, looked at their expressions, and asked, "Do you three have any other plans?"
Xia Yu, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stood up and shook their heads: "No."
The three of them didn't mention their original intention to go out. Qicheng Zhenren smiled and said, "I originally wanted to take you to the teahouse to sit for a while, but you guys didn't want to go?"
"Let's go." The three of them said in unison, and then smiled at each other.
Master Qicheng led the three of them out of the courtyard. The pedestrians they met on the road all looked wary when they saw them.
Master Qicheng pretended not to see anything and walked forward, but Xia Yu paid attention, but when he saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan gathered together to evaluate the trees on the road, he didn't care.
Master Qicheng took them to the largest teahouse in the capital, but they arrived too late and the private rooms were already full.
When the waiter took them to their seats, he whispered to Master Qicheng, "Uncle, next time you come, you can send someone to the store to let us know in advance, and we will reserve a private room for you."
Qi Cheng Zhenren smiled and nodded, and casually handed the waiter a piece of silver: "Okay, next time I come, I will come to your teahouse in advance to reserve a private room, and you can choose a good one for me then."
Qicheng Zhenren casually told the waiter where he lived, and the waiter quickly wrote it down and said with a smile, "Uncle, I've got it.
I'll go to the counter and tell them again, you are my guest and I will definitely serve you well. ”
This time, the waiter looked at Xia Yu and the other three very carefully, as if he had remembered their appearance clearly.
After the four of them sat down in the corner, the waiter leaned over and said to Master Qicheng, "Sir, this seat may seem a little off to an outsider, but when the storyteller comes on stage, you will understand the benefits of this table."
Master Qicheng nodded and asked the waiter to bring the teahouse's signature snacks. He also said, "We have always eaten light meals."
The waiter immediately reported the names of five snacks: "Uncle, these five snacks should suit your family's appetite.
Every time Lord Wang came, he ordered these five snacks. ”
"Okay, bring another pot of tea." Master Qicheng ordered the waiter.
The waiter smiled and agreed. He went to the counter to report the order and said, "The guests are from the south. They are dressed simply, but the material of their clothes is very gorgeous. When they walk, you can vaguely see the golden thread shining."
The shopkeeper looked at him and said, "Take good care of your guests."
The waiter smiled. When Master Qicheng gave him a tip, the shopkeeper must have seen it.
He took out the change and showed it to the shopkeeper, who nodded.
The storyteller in the teahouse came on stage, and when the wake-up stick sounded, the noisy sounds in the teahouse became less frequent.
The waiter brought tea and snacks to Qicheng Zhenren's table. He whispered to Qicheng Zhenren, "Just tell me if you need anything."
He pointed to three places and said, "When I'm in the teahouse, I only go back and forth between these three places."
He quickly stepped back, and the storyteller began to tell the story: "Today I will tell you about the biggest injustice in Wenlan City.
It is said that there was a scholar in Wenlan City who had inherited a huge fortune from his ancestors, and he also married a virtuous wife.
It’s a pity that after years of hard work, even though his family had hundreds of acres of fertile land, they could only support a single small seedling in the end... ”
Almost everyone in the teahouse could hear that the storyteller was telling the story of the young wife, and when he paused, everyone sighed.
The storyteller talked about how a scholar's virtuous wife died of illness, and how sad the scholar was, to the point that his health was not very good.
Everyone was waiting to hear the rest of the story, and he slapped the wake-up stick and said, "That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."
"Wait a minute, we'll give you more money, and you can talk more."
"Sir, it's still early. Please tell me more."
The storyteller left in a hurry, accompanied by the teahouse manager.
Some of the guests in the teahouse also dispersed.
Master Qicheng looked at the expressions of the three children, then sat in the teahouse for a while longer, listening to people continue to talk about the story of the young wife's tragic life.
When Qicheng Zhenren and his party collected their fortune and left, the waiter escorted them out of the teahouse and asked, "Sir, if you come here by carriage in the future, you can park the carriage in the backyard of the teahouse."
Qi Cheng Zhenren smiled and nodded: "Okay."
They continued to walk slowly forward. The weather was very cold, and the streets of the capital were bustling with people coming and going.
Xia Yu whispered to Shi Xiaoliu: "It's really lively."
Shi Xiaoliu nodded and whispered to him, "Look, there is a person with blue eyes in the east."
"The day I entered the capital, I saw several people with blue eyes. Their eyes were so beautiful, as beautiful as the sea."
Shi Zelan nodded in agreement: "Their hair is also beautiful, but I still like my own black eyes and black hair."
Master Qicheng walked in front with his head held high, which attracted many glances.
He turned around and saw the three children huddled together talking. He shook his head and continued walking forward.
Qicheng Zhenren deliberately walked on the busiest street, letting the three children talk as they walked. He would also turn around and ask, "Is there anything you three want?"
The three little ones shook their heads at the same time. They just liked the hustle and bustle of the world.
