I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 18 Washer
Compared with the turbid atmosphere on the first floor, the second floor is much better.Under the leadership of the servant, Mo Yunxiao sat on a chair wrapped with gold threads.There was also a coffee table in front of her, with a pot of tea and a dish of longan melon seeds on it.

The young man smiled and said, "It's hard for the girl to come to our small shop once, and the small one is also the master. In addition to this tea and melon seeds, I will give you a plate of preserved apricot meat. What do you think?"

"Hehe! Xiao Linzi has also become generous, and is willing to give glory to our girl?" Huan'er said half teasingly and half joyfully.

The boy felt a little embarrassed, touched his head and said, "During the 'National Funeral' period, there were not many fireworks in the store. Don't we hope that Miss Mo can make our store more lively."

Huan'er nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I know you are interested, so go now. We will come here often in the future, and I will take care of you more."

"Sister Huan'er is such a villain." He said while bowing with a playful smile, then turned and left.

Mo Yunxiao turned her eyes away from the boy who had gone away, and then cast her gaze on the stage on the first floor.At this time, the performers have not yet appeared on the stage, but there are already sparse audiences sitting around.

"That guy has such a sweet mouth." Mo Yunxiao sighed.

Huan'er stood beside her, smiled and waved her hand, and said, "This is unnatural? Who is the waiter in Wazi who is not the one who is slick and speaks the truth?"

In less than a cup of tea, the young servant came upstairs again.He came with a plate of fat and fresh preserved fruits in his hand, with a trained smile on his face. "Miss Mo, Sister Huan'er, this is to honor you both." He put the fruit plate on the table, pointed in the direction of the stage casually, and said, "Today's performance is 'Joining the Army', you are guaranteed to be happy. "

"Join the army?" Mo Yunxiao looked at the boy in confusion.The boy was also stunned, and also raised his head to look at Huan'er.

Huan'er was taken aback for a moment, and quickly explained with a smile: "My girl hasn't come for a while, and she hasn't gotten over it for a while. It's alright, alright, I don't want you to serve here, go do something else."

"Yes, the little one will go first, call the little one if you need anything." After he finished speaking, he nodded and turned to leave.

"Huan'er." Mo Yunxiao turned her head to look at Huan'er, and asked with a blank face, "What is this military scene?"

"This..." Huan'er thought for a while, then laughed again, and said, "Miss, you are really very cautious. Well, let's finish the show to the end. This 'Joining the Army' scene originated from the former Tang Dynasty and was composed of two Actors perform. One plays the military master, and the other plays the servant. The servant plays with the military master and tells jokes to amuse the bored. In short, it is one villain and one harmony, one positive and one negative."

As she spoke, she turned her palms back and forth, then rolled her eyes, picked up a piece of preserved fruit with her two fingers, and stuffed it into Mo Yunxiao's mouth.

Mo Yunxiao was taken aback, and subconsciously pressed Huan'er's hand.But after chewing carefully, he felt that the preserved fruit was full of fragrance, sweet and sour, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's delicious, you can eat a piece too."

"That's right, thank you, Miss, for the reward." Huan'er was not polite, and picked up a piece of preserved fruit with a smile and ate it by herself. "Hmm! Girl! The scene of joining the army has started, watch it!" She muttered vaguely while chewing on preserved fruit.

Mo Yunxiao was a little confused, and followed the direction of her finger to look around, and sure enough, she saw a man dressed as an officer striding up to the stage.He was dressed in gold armor, a hood on his head, and a pair of calfskin boots under his feet. He stepped on the wooden stage with a "thumping" sound.

"You Ba!" There was a burst of cheers from the audience.Mo Yunxiao still frowned, and asked Huaner: "What is 'Youba'?"

Huan'er was also holding on to the railing, looking down on her tiptoes, and replied perfunctorily: "This is what we Tokyo people applaud! Huh! Youba!" She waved her hands desperately to the audience and shouted loudly with.

Looking at her cheering back, Mo Yunxiao couldn't help being a modern star-struck girl.Although time has passed and vicissitudes have changed, some things have never changed.

The officer came onto the stage, and flicked the whip in his hand, making a crisp sound, which immediately suppressed the cheers of the people.

After the surroundings were quiet, he said slowly: "My military master was entrusted by the officials and ordered by the governor to lead a hundred thousand troops to Yanyun, vowing to take back my Yanyun sixteen states from the Liao people. The uncompetitive achievements of the ancestor Taizong, the unfulfilled wishes of the Han children in the sixteen prefectures!"

The general's voice was like thunder, and his tongue was like a thunderbolt. The sonorous and powerful words of this passage made the audience very excited, and they had to applaud loudly.

But at this moment, a thin and small servant stumbled onto the stage and shouted loudly: "It can't be done, it can't be done! It's a big deal!"

The officer turned around and glared angrily, and asked, "Idiot, can't you even do such a trivial thing as asking you to order soldiers?"

The servant replied: "Back to the general, it's not about the ordering of soldiers, it's about the yellow dog in our house!"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire Washe roared with laughter. "Oh! Yellow dog... yellow..." Huan'er also laughed.

Mo Yunxiao also found it interesting, thinking to herself: "So the rudiment of cross talk can be traced back to military dramas? If you don't come and go through it personally, you really won't gain this insight."

Just as Huaner said, the two people on the stage, one villain and one harmonious, one positive and one negative, vividly interpreted a farce of the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom, regaining the homeland but returning in a disastrous defeat.When the general made a fool of himself, everyone laughed; when the war failed, they all sighed.

Huan'er was already laughing so hard that she was leaning forward and back, tears streaming down her face.Wiping her tears, she said, "Oh! It's so interesting. If all the generals of my Great Song Dynasty were as confused as this general, not only would it be difficult to regain their homeland, but they might not even be able to defend their country."

Mo Yunxiao smiled wryly, and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid that what you said is a prophecy."

Huan'er was stunned, and quickly asked: "What does the girl mean?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Mo Yunxiao drank the last scrap from the tea bowl, then stood up and straightened her dress, saying, "It's getting late, let's go."

"Yes." Huan'er also tidied up her clothes and appearance and walked downstairs with Mo Yunxiao.As she walked, she continued to say, "Girl, let's come back tomorrow. I heard that the play hasn't finished yet. I really want to know if the arrow from the general's butt has been pulled out."

"Arrow shot in the butt?" Mo Yunxiao chuckled and said, "Don't you think he is alluding to Emperor Taizong?"

"Oh." Huan'er thought for a while, and murmured: "In the battle of Gaoliang River, Taizong was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and escaped his life in a ox cart in a hurry. But the general in this play was shot in the buttocks , was brought back by a sick donkey. Ah! It’s true!”

Seeing her serious look, Mo Yunxiao found it amused, so she said, "Look at you, isn't the Great Song Dynasty tolerant? This play can be produced in such an undisguised manner, and the court will not offend you even if you think about it." .”

Huan'er pouted and said, "That's not sure. Back then, Xueshi Su was taken away by the court after he wrote only a few poems. He almost killed him. But my father..." Her eyes turned red when she said this , the voice also choked up.

Mo Yunxiao also held her hand tightly, and said softly: "I'm happy today, don't mention these things. It's up to you, let's come back tomorrow and see if the arrow cluster on the general's butt has been pulled out."

Huan'er also broke into a smile, and when he was about to answer, a man rushed upstairs head-on and bumped into Huan'er's shoulder heavily.

"Ouch!" Huan'er's body was so weak that she could withstand the heavy impact, she lost her center of gravity and sat down on the steps.

The man didn't turn his head back, he climbed the stairs like walking on the ground, and went up the corridor on the second floor with a few "thumps".Huan'er turned her head to look at him angrily, and cursed: "Oh! Who is so reckless and walks without eyes?"

"The little lady is so pretty, I have to find her here, I am afraid that I will miss her in the future, so I specially took a handkerchief from the lady, don't blame me!" The man said while running on the second floor.

Huan'er stared, annoyed.She has gained quite a lot of power since she joined the Mo family, and she has never been subjected to such molestation and humiliation.Her face was flushed, angry and impatient, she called out: "Jiangpocai! Give me back my handkerchief!" She jumped up and chased after that man.

"Huan'er!" Mo Yunxiao was about to pull her but he didn't. Seeing her chasing after that person, she became anxious for a moment, and her eyes followed the pursuit of the two closely for a moment.

"Little lady is chasing me so hard, she's so excited, is she going to be my wife?" The man threw a small package in his hand downstairs and shouted: "Go on!"

Mo Yunxiao's eyes flickered, and she saw that the one who caught this small package was the beggar who had been begging for water and food from before.He caught the package, smiled at Mo Yunxiao again, turned around and ran out of Wazi.

"Ah!" Huan'er yelled while leaning on the railing, pointed to the man and said, "Girl! That man ran away! He ran away!" She jumped and cried, tears overflowing in anxiety.

Mo Yunxiao lost her mind for a while, and hurriedly said: "Huan'er, don't worry, let's go back and I will give you another handkerchief."

Huan'er shook her head hastily, and said, "That's what Cheng Yu...Cheng Yu left for me..."

Mo Yunxiao raised her brows twice, and her heart brightened up.It turned out that Huan'er was not chasing after the veil, nor was she trying to punish the frivolous libertine, but caring about the token left by her lord.

Thinking of this, she threw her felt hat heavily, and said angrily: "Anyone who dares to offend me, Mo Yunxiao, really has the guts of a bear!" out.

Huan'er raised her eyes and looked again, but the person before had disappeared, so she had no choice but to run downstairs, chasing after Mo Yunxiao.The people in the tile all looked at her quietly with puzzled expressions.

It wasn't until she ran away for a long time that someone murmured: "Dare to provoke this 'female Yan Luo', I am afraid she is not from other places?"

And Mo Yunxiao was also surprised that, as a pampered rich daughter, her physical strength was so good.She and the beggar chased back and forth, ran across Jinliang Bridge, Taishi's Mansion, and went straight to Xijiaofang.Pedestrians along the road saw Mo Yunxiao at a glance and gave way one after another. Some of them couldn't dodge on the bridge and even jumped into the river.The mule carts and Taiping carts were full of goods, and they also hurriedly turned around.

But their movements are slow, and the beggar is also very skilled, he can often jump over with a single leap.But there are also those who miss in desperation.A Taiping car full of Ringo and radishes collided with him. With a bang, the car overturned, and the chubby Ringo and carrots rolled all over the ground.

Beggar also rolled a few times on the spot, got up and ran again.But Mo Yunxiao's skills are much more vigorous.She dodges left and right, sometimes jumps up, sometimes ducks to avoid, and sometimes jumps onto the roof of the house, the tiles under her feet "click", and the wind blows in her ears.

And the beggar seemed to be in a panic and ran into an alley.This small alley is remote and narrow, and the most important thing is that it is a dead end, and there is no way to escape unless you go back the same way.

When he looked back, Mo Yunxiao had already blocked the entrance of the alley.She put her hands on her hips and said, panting, "Run! You are running! I'll see where you can go!"

As she spoke, she walked towards the beggar.Beggar was a little flustered and backed away again and again.Mo Yunxiao chuckled and said, "Now you should know how good I am!"

But the beggar suddenly changed into a wicked smile, and said: "Hey, I know Miss Mo is not easy to mess with, but our beggar gang is not a soft persimmon."

"What? Beggars?" Mo Yunxiao suddenly felt a little funny, and said disapprovingly, "Do you think you are making a martial arts movie?"

Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly went dark.She was flustered and was about to struggle when she felt a shock in her neck and fell into a deep coma.
