Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 807

An ordinary carriage drove into the bustling city of Yangzhou, and the driver was a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, neither shabby nor gorgeous.

There were many people on the street, the carriage stopped and went, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a refined face with white temples and beard, "Old Chen, where are you?"

The man driving the car replied: "Master, we have arrived in Yangzhou City."

The old man groaned, showing an excited expression: "Let me see."

I saw people coming and going on the street, extremely bustling and bustling, watching the fireworks in this world, savoring the culture and customs of this side...

Suddenly, he saw a shop full of people, and the front of the shop was very crowded. The old man pointed his hand and said, "Old Chen, what is that for? Why is it so lively?"

"Master, let me ask."

The middle-aged man listened to the horse and got off the car, went to inquire and returned, "Master, this is a shop that sells pickles."

The old man happened to have a grumbling stomach and said, "It's so lively, it should be very delicious, let's go down and join in the fun."

The middle-aged man was about to go up to the people, when the old man said with a smile: "Old Chen, let's line up at the back. When you first arrive at the treasure land, don't lose your etiquette and make people laugh at you."

The reputation of Lord Yaoqing in Yangzhou has been handed down from generation to generation, which makes people humble and self-examine.

Finally it was the old man's turn, and the woman selling things apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, old man, it's sold out."

The old man was surprised: "Sold out?"

Seeing the regretful look on the old man's face, the woman smiled and said, "Mister, are you from another place?"

The old man smiled and nodded.

The woman smiled and said: "Well, there are no more for sale, and there are still some for myself. If the old man doesn't dislike it, just taste it. You can't let the old man come here for nothing."

"Okay, thank you."

Sit down on a small stool in the shop, and the woman brings pickles, but the so-called pickles are some pickled raw vegetables, there are pickled cucumbers, broccoli, cabbage hearts, and radishes. The colorful plate is really beautiful.

The woman said with a smile: "Old man, if you eat this pickle, you will be half a Yangzhou native."

The old man chuckled, "Okay, okay." He took a piece of it and tasted it in his mouth, but on the spot he stuck out his tongue in a spicy way, completely devoid of elegance.

The woman laughed out loud when she saw it.

When the middle-aged man saw the woman teasing the master for his embarrassment, his face turned cold and he was about to get angry, but the woman brought a cup of clear tea and offered it: "Old man, drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst."

The old man took it quickly, took a sip to relieve the spiciness, then sipped it carefully, and said after drinking a cup: "This tea is special, it is less astringent, more ripe and sweet, and it seems to be milder in the mouth. "

The woman laughed and said: "The old man must be a master tea taster. You can taste the special features of this tea in a cup. Other outsiders can only say that this is cooked tea, which is specially roasted with fire..."

After the old man heard the woman talk about the special tea, he was amazed and asked, "Where can I buy it?"

The woman pointed forward with her hand: "At the Plucking Wei Tea Shop in front, the tea seller is a little girl. What I drink is tea head. Good leaves are more expensive, and young leaves are even more expensive."

"Miss, can I have another drink?"

"of course."

While drinking tea, the old man asked the woman, "Mistress, how can I get to Xie's residence?"

"There are so many people with the surname Xie. Which family are you asking, old man?"

"After Duke Yaoqing of the Xie family in Kuaiji, the family of the Xie family came."

The woman scratched her head gently: "I don't know."

The old man was surprised when he heard the words: "You don't even know Xie Yaoqing, how can you be from Yangzhou?"

The woman apologized and said with a smile: "Xie Yaoqing, I have heard many stories about him, but where is the descendant's family, it is not something that I should care about as an ordinary person, and I am not familiar with him."

The old man asked: "Then you should know Qinglian Lane?"

"I know this."

As the woman spoke, she showed the old man the way.

Leaving this shop, the old man wondered all the way, and finally couldn't help asking: "Old Chen, you said that as a Yangzhou native, how could you not know the Xie family?"

"Master, I don't know either, probably the Xie family is too low-key."

The old man chuckled: "I think so, low-key, low-key, very low-key."

The middle-aged man suddenly said: "Master, I saw the Caiwei tea shop, do you want to stop?"

"Of course!"

He was about to buy it back as a special product to taste, and then buy some as a door-to-door gift.

The vegetable seller is a tall, handsome woman, and there are other people in the shop helping.

"Little lady, I want to buy some of the best tea."

The woman took a look at the old man, and then took out the best tea from the shop: "Mr., let's talk about it first. It's a bit expensive. You can buy it when the price is right."

The old man smiled: "As long as the tea is good enough, the price is not a problem."

The woman quoted the price, and the old man smiled: "It's really not cheap, this price can buy a first-grade Huangshan Maofeng."

The woman said: "Old man, my tea is picked according to the requirements of the sun and morning dew, so it is more expensive, do you want more?"

The old man snorted: "With such strict conditions, wouldn't the time for picking tea be less than two quarters a day?"

The woman smiled, talking to people who know the goods can save nonsense: "Mr., you can have a look at the tea first."

After watching the tea, the old man smiled and said, "Little lady, is this the best tea in your shop?"

The woman nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

The old man smiled and said: "This is not the youngest leaf bud, and it is often damaged, and its appearance is not the best."

The woman smiled and said: "The old man is really picky, this is already the best tea in my shop."

The old man said: "I'm not picky, I mainly want to give it away."

The woman looked like she didn't want to buy it: "Mr., do you still want it?"

"That's it."

The old man paid the silver and took the tea, turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, he turned around and asked: "Little lady, do you know how to get to Xie's mansion?"

The woman immediately blurted out: "Mr., are you asking about the Xie Mansion in Qinglian Lane?"

The old man suddenly became interested: "Exactly."

The woman enthusiastically said: "I know it, let me show you the way, old man."

The old man was slightly taken aback when he saw that the woman was so enthusiastic that she gave up business and refused to do it, so she wanted to lead him the way.

Before she could react, the woman turned around and walked into the tea shop again. After a while, she came out with the tea bag and handed it to the old man with both hands: "Mr., this is the best tea."

The old man laughed and said, "Didn't you say that the tea I just bought is the best tea?"

The woman did not explain, and directly opened the tea bag for the old man to see.

Before soaking in water, a scent of tea is poured into the nose, and the buds and leaves are tender, green and fragrant, and the appearance is even better without any defects. To find a big and round pearl.

This tea is the best of the best. The old man asked: "The fragrance is so strong, but is it picked according to the requirements of the sun and morning dew?"

"Yes."

After getting a positive answer from the woman, the old man said with emotion: "This is rare among the rare ones. I'm afraid I can't afford this tea."

The middle-aged man was surprised that there were things the master couldn't afford, but he didn't know that some things were priceless and couldn't be measured by money.

The woman smiled mischievously: "It is not necessary for the old man to spend a penny, just a favor from the old man."

The old man was interested and said, "Oh, what can I do for you?"

"The old gentleman is going to Xie's mansion. He must be visiting. Just take the little girl in for a stroll."

"Is this really a strange request?"

"Does the old gentleman agree?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Bring me a wooden peach, and the deal will be made."

The woman answered, "Repay it with Qiong Yao, you're welcome."

The old man smiled and said, "I can't see that you, a little girl who buys tea, have also read books."

The woman's eyes were full of books: "Of course, I may not have read fewer books than the old man."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "What a big tone."

The woman said: "Then Bibi?"

The old man smiled and said, "Okay. Let me ask you, "Wisdom like eyes can see a hundred paces away but cannot see eyelashes."

The woman laughed and said, "The old man made fun of me."

The old man laughed loudly: "If you can answer it well, it's not considered making fun of you."

The woman replied: "You can't just look at others, you must first look at yourself, so that you can be famous."

The old man stroked his beard and nodded, yes, it is very rare for a little girl to be able to know the meaning of the text and move the text.

"Sir, it's my turn." If you want to overcome others, you must first overcome yourself.Those who want to talk about others must first talk about themselves.If you want to know others, you must first know yourself "how to do it?"

After the old man finished listening, he couldn't help laughing: "You little girl..."

The old and the young asked questions all the way, and the woman answered fluently, causing the old man to ask: "Little lady, who taught you this talent?"

"Books."

The old man was surprised and said: "You can learn without a teacher? You are really a genius at reading."

The woman who said this is blushing slightly. If there is a husband, then Brother Li should be her husband. Among the books lent to her, Brother Li added notes one by one for fear that she would not understand them. Read it and understand it.

Now that I have read a lot of books and learned a lot, there is no need to be like this.

Just as the woman was about to explain, the middle-aged man behind the carriage said in a deep voice, "Master!"

The two looked around, and saw a pair of armored guards standing at the door of a mansion, standing in a vigilant position.

The woman said: "What's going on." There was worry and concern in her expression.

The old man said calmly: "Little lady, calm down."

Walking in front of the mansion, the old man looked up at the door plaque and asked, "But this household?"

The woman nodded: "Yes!" She had already inquired with Li Er that elder brother Li was the second son of the Xie family.

The armored guard at the door glanced at the three of them, and said in a cold voice, "Leave quickly! Lord Inspector is working on something!"

The middle-aged man was surprised when he heard the words, and the old man smiled and said, "I just want to see how he does things."

"Old man, didn't you hear? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

The armored guard was about to draw his sword to warn, but before he could pull out the knife, he was knocked down by the middle-aged man. The other armored guards were startled, and they were all knocked down instantly as soon as they moved their hands.

The whole process was just a blink of an eye, and the old man had already entered the mansion first.

The Jiawei brought by Wang Zheng was confronting the soldiers of the Gu family.

This armored guard is not simple, it is Wang Zheng's personal guard, and it is the elite of the imperial guards in the state capital, each of them is one against a hundred.

Wang Zheng was waiting for the opponent to be captured without a fight, but how could he know that the four guards of the opponent directly showed their weapons, which was simply provocative.

Wang Zheng said coldly: "Take it, if you dare to resist, you will be killed!" Even if these four guards are skilled in martial arts, there is no one that cannot be taken by this armored guard, let alone Wang Yu.

At this moment, a deep voice came: "Take who!"
