Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 72 Ningzhou Mansion

The carriage was accepted, but Xu Zisu declined the money.

As the sun rose and the weather became warm, the three of them got on the carriage and left Hedong County.

"drive!"

On the official road, carriages were speeding. The journey that originally took three days was much faster with carriages.

······
At noon the next day, the carriage slowly drove into Ningzhou Mansion.

Jiu Sheng looked at the bustling mansion and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "Master, young master, we have arrived at Ningzhou Mansion."

"Jiu Sheng, look for an inn and fill your stomach first." Zhu Yan's voice rang out from inside the carriage. He raised the window and looked at the bustling street, as if he was in another world: "I still remember the last time I came to Ningzhou Mansion. During the Shangyuan Festival, time flies by like a fleeting horse, it goes by so fast.”

"Okay!" Jiu Sheng responded.

However, there were a lot of people on the streets and the carriage couldn't move fast. In addition, they were living in the carriage all the way, so they felt a little uncomfortable, so they simply got off the carriage.

Looking at the extremely lively Ningzhou Mansion, the three of them had a little more smiles on their faces.

“It’s surprisingly crowded today.”

"Master, I think it's a gathering day."

Gather?

Zhu Yan thought for a moment and couldn't help but nodded: "It should be so. I didn't expect to meet the gathering when I rushed back to Ningzhou Mansion."

There are several temple fairs at the beginning of each year and at the beginning of winter after the busy farming season. One is to celebrate the harvest, the other is to prepare for winter, and the third is to create a sign of people's well-being.

Of course, it will vary from place to place.

Ningzhou Mansion seems to be extremely lively at the moment, and most of the pedestrians I meet along the way are smiling.

"call!"

"it is good!"

"Clap clap clap."

There was a burst of agreement and enthusiastic applause. The three of them looked closer and saw that they were actually a group of three or five performers, holding a torch in one hand and a wine flask in the other. After taking a sip of wine and lighting the torch, they could spit out a Tongues of fire shot up into the sky.

Next to him was a big man lying down on a wooden table. There was a huge bluestone on his chest. The man next to him raised a sledgehammer and smashed it down. The stone shattered with a sound. The strong man seemed to be fine. He stood up like a normal person and bowed in all directions.

Again he won a round of applause.

There was no shortage of rich people at the gathering. Upon seeing this, they hurriedly threw down a few coins, and some even boldly threw down a few grains of silver.

There was a half-year-old child who happily picked up the money and kept saying thank you.

Life is not easy, street performers.

"Jiusheng, how does this man's ability compare with yours?"

"Almost, almost." Jiu Sheng replied from the side.

In fact, among these people, only the man with the broken chest still had some energy and blood. The rest were just ordinary people. And he was also a body-refining warrior after all. There was no comparison between these people and him.

However, the young master doesn't understand, so there is no need to care.

The three of them passed by and continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, a refreshing aroma filled the street. The three of them glanced at it with doubtful eyes, only to see that the aroma was coming from the restaurant nearby.

"Jingtingxuan."

It's noon now, the restaurant is bustling with people, and there are naturally a lot of people eating.

"Jiu Sheng, do you remember that there is this building in Ningzhou City?"

"Haha, young master, look at what you said. If there really was such a fragrant restaurant, it would have become famous all over Ningzhou City. I think it opened after we left."

"That's right." Zhu Yan chuckled.

Then he looked at Xu Zisu: "Thank you, little master, for taking care of me all the way. I hope I can't refuse my little master for this meal." "Thank you, benefactor."

The carriage was handed over to the waiter in the restaurant, and the three of them entered the building together.

"Sir, let's invite you here."

Seeing that only the corner position was left in the hall, Zhu Yan couldn't help but frowned: "Xiaoer, are there any other positions?"

The last position was in the corner, not to mention that the scenery was not good, and it was far away from the doors and windows, so you could hardly see anything. I guess it was despised by others, and the rest was there.

"My lord, there is only one place in the hall right now, and there is a box upstairs, but I'm afraid you won't be able to enter it, my lord."

The boy looked Zhu Yan up and down, then lowered his head.

"I wonder what the rules are?"

Most popular restaurants have rules, so there's nothing to say about this, and Zhu Yan is just a little curious.

"In this Ningzhou Mansion, those who are qualified to enter my private room on the second floor of Jingtingxuan are all high-ranking officials. Even those who belong to merchants must have tens of thousands of gold." Zhu Yan took a deep breath after hearing this.

A noble man, a rich man's family,
This Jing Tingxuan is very generous.

I'm afraid it will cost a lot to have a meal in this hall.

Zhu Yan was able to travel to the Eight Prefectures and buy a warrior. It can be seen that his family is not a poor owner, but this ten thousand gold is not something that ordinary merchants can earn. There still needs to be a great relationship.

Zhu Yan hesitated for a while, then waved his hand helplessly: "Let's stay here so that we can have a taste of your Jingtingxuan's strength."

"You three, please take a seat. I wonder what you would like to eat?"

"Just have a few of your Jingtingxuan's signature dishes."

The boy hesitated for a moment and then reminded him: "Sir, this signature dish costs a lot. Are you sure you want it?"

"Come on, we'll take advantage of today's improvement to improve the food."

"Okay, young master, wait a moment."

Saying this, the servant left in a hurry,
After a while, he returned again and walked over with a bottle of sake in his hand.

"Sir, this is my Jingtingxuan's unique Thousand Days Drunk. Please taste it."

"it is good."

Zhu Jiusheng took the jug and poured two glasses. He had just signaled to the young master. Seeing the young master wave his hand, he naturally knew that monks do not drink.

The two of them had a drink, and a blush suddenly appeared on their faces.

"Master, this wine is very strong."

"Indeed, it really lives up to the reputation of being drunk for a thousand days. If it's cold winter and snowy, drinking a cup must be very beautiful." He said filling the cup again, his face full of enjoyment.

Seeing this, Xu Zisu shook his head. The wine was spicy and easily made people impulsive. He didn't know what to drink. Even in his previous life, he rarely drank.

After a while, the waiter served another fish again. It looked like it was steamed, and it seemed to be dotted with a few green vegetables.

"My signature dish of Jingtingxuan, steamed spirit carp, please use it as you please."

Under the surprised gazes of the two people, Xu Zisu slowly picked up the chopsticks, curiously picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. When the fish entered the mouth, an aroma burst out on the tip of his tongue, followed by sweetness and a bit of saltiness. It's also mixed with a cool air.

Reiki?

Xu Zisu couldn't help but be startled.
This fish turned out to be a spiritual fish.

Interestingly, this Jingtingxuan seems to have some skill.

For him, this little spiritual energy is naturally useless, but for ordinary people, not to mention extending their lives, at least minor problems can be solved.

Although the two of them were confused, they still picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into their mouths, then froze in place.

This fish~
