Jiayou's Fun

After settling down the elders, Lu Qian took the big yellow dog out and closed the courtyard door without locking it.

After leaving the small courtyard, turn right and within a few steps, you will be at the West Street entrance of Yulu Hutong.

A stone wall was built here and an iron gate was installed, which was guarded day and night.

After exiting the iron gate, there is a small market.

Small wine shops, small restaurants, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and other items can be found in this market that covers several acres of land. There are also various small stalls and vendors operating on the roadside, providing great convenience to the residents in Yulu Hutong.

Walking west along a stone street and passing the small market, the front suddenly opens up.

The small square paved with stone slabs has a wide view. In front of it is the intersection of several city canals. The white ice surface is glowing, and the sky and the earth are bright.

Pier 1 of Anlefang is right here. Several stone trestles extend into the city canal for more than a mile. In the past, large and small cargo ships gathered here to provide Anlefang with all kinds of needed goods.

In the cold winter, the canal is frozen, and sleds are still flying on the canal, dragged by snow dogs.

Beside the long trestle, sleds are leaning against the trestle. The laborers wearing short sleeves and bare legs are shouting slogans and are unloading cargo boxes from the sleds. Various goods are on the trestle and on the dock. It was piled up like a hill.

Lu Qian walked to the riverside of the pier and came to a small vendor.

There is a four-wheeled cart, a charcoal stove, and a large oil pan. Next to it is a tray of white and green tofu cubes. The pieces of tofu in the pan are tumbling in boiling oil and fried to a golden color.

There was an extremely pungent smell flowing in the air. Several children with runny noses stood timidly aside, biting their fingers and looking at the oil pan eagerly.

A burly man eight feet tall was holding a pair of two-foot-long wooden chopsticks, whistling, and flipping the tofu cubes in the oil pan quickly.

From time to time, he picked up a piece of fried tofu, and was not afraid of burning it. He dipped it in the chili sauce on the small plate, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it happily, making several children drool with greed.

This is a stinky tofu stall.

This kind of thing that smells foul and tastes delicious was not available in Haojing in the early years.

Four or five years ago, this stinky tofu stall popped up overnight, and then quickly spread like a plague to hundreds of cities in Haojing City, and the streets and alleys were filled with this attractive stench. The air is floating.

Not to mention the common people, even some literati, when drinking and chatting, there is indispensable a portion of stinky tofu dipped in various dipping sauces on the table.

Next to the car, there were a few small square tables and a dozen small stools. There was not much business so early in the morning, and the seats were all empty.

Lu Chen shook his coat, randomly chose a stool and sat down, took out a few coins from his sleeves, and slapped them one by one on the square table: Tiger, the same old thing, two portions of stinky tofu, tsk, heavy Hot!

Glancing sideways at the burly man who hurriedly responded, Lu Yi pointed at him: The business is not open, and you are eating by yourself. Tsk, you are not afraid of losing your capital like this?

The burly man smiled. He bowed to Lu Qian, took out a coarse porcelain plate from under the cart, picked up pieces of golden tofu from the oil pan, and placed them neatly on the plate. , took another portion of scarlet red spicy oil chili and gently placed it in front of Lu Qian.

With a big hand, he took the copper coins that Lu Qian had put down into his hands. The burly man laughed softly and said, We eat well, and the guests have an appetite after seeing it. Can't we eat a few more pieces?

Lu Qian grabbed two chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the square table, pointed at the burly man and smiled: It's so early in the morning, there's not even a ghost in your stall, damn the customers have great appetites!

The big man took advantage of the situation and sat down next to Lu Yi. He took out a ceramic wine bottle from the car with his backhand and placed it heavily in front of Lu Yi. He also took out a coarse porcelain wine bowl and poured a bowl of old rice wine for Lu Yi. .

Yeah, yeah, if you say you've seen a ghost, it's really possible... you've seen a ghost! The big man approached Lu Qian and winked at him with a mysterious look on his face.

Lu Qian picked up a piece of stinky tofu, dipped it in some chili oil, raised his eyebrows at the big man, and lowered his voice: How do you say this?

Tsk! The big man glanced at the children standing aside and suddenly made a fierce face.

Several children yelled, turned around and ran away in fright.

The big man laughed a few times, corrected his expression, and lowered his voice: Brother Qi, the brothers have been trying their best to find out what happened on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month last year. But whether it is Fangling Yamen or the Bai family, there is no news at all. No leaks.”

However, both families invited an old gentleman from Changsheng Hall to come and treat their illness. One of my cousins ​​happened to be an apprentice at Changsheng Hall, and it happened that he took the old man's prescription and gave it to those two families. medicine.

The prescription is wrong.

The prescription contains several times the amount of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Shouwu and other good medicines for replenishing vitality. If a normal person drank such medicine, he would have been burned to death by the medicine.

But Anlefang Ling and Bai Qiong really drank this medicine.

My cousin also said that he eavesdropped on the consultation between the old gentleman and several old doctors and said - 'The symptoms are weird and unusual'!

The symptoms are weird.

Lu Qian swallowed the stinky tofu and said solemnly: I saw with my own eyes that Bai Qiong's wound was green and black in color, and was deep into the flesh and blood. Moreover, Bai Qiong's energy was exhausted, as if he had been drained.

This method, if you want to say it is weird, is really weird.

Bai Qiong is like this and He Jun is like this. It can also explain why everything has been calm from the 20th of the twelfth lunar month to today. No one is looking for my fault. I am so injured that I can't move. How can I still be in the mood to harm others?

Lu Qian smiled and picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of rice wine.

I'm still thinking that He Jun will send people to Tianenhou Mansion to arrest people. After all, they have so many witnesses.

But it's been calm for more than half a month. It can be seen that they have their own problems and have no time to deal with me. It's good, it's good, it can be said that they have escaped trouble for the time being.

Lu Chen shook his head and sighed: In this world, it's shocking every step of the way. It's not easy to live a peaceful life!

The big man laughed and complimented: Brother Qi is too lazy to argue with them, otherwise.

Lu Qian waved his hand, took another sip of rice wine, and smiled at the big man: I want to care about it, but I don't have enough capital.

But. Lu Qian tilted his head and thought for a while.

No matter what the weirdness was that night, it has been so long, and Hao Jing is still calm. It can be seen that this weirdness has either been suppressed by others, or the ability to cause harm is limited.

No matter what, after so many days, all aspects of Haojing City, especially those in the official circles, should calm down.

In this case, if there are two legs, it's time to break them.

Lu Qian picked up a piece of stinky tofu and murmured: That night, in the backyard of Zuixianju, I clearly felt something strange. I originally thought that our Lu Xuezheng would be unlucky. Unexpectedly, he was safe?

Then, these two legs were broken by him in the past two days.

The big man smiled naively and nodded repeatedly: Don't worry, Brother Qi. I promise to break his leg and make him infamous.

Lu Qian smiled hehe and waved his chopsticks in front of the big yellow dog. The big yellow dog opened his mouth and quickly bit down the stinky tofu. He swallowed it without even chewing it and exhaled hachihachi.

The big man looked at the big yellow dog with a smile, stood up again, and threw a few tofu cubes into the oil pan.

While he was busy working, he suddenly slapped his head: Hey, there is something very interesting. My cousin said that the wife of Bai Xi, the second master of the Bai family, went to the Changsheng Hall to get a few pairs of clothes two days ago. Anti-fetal medicine, sneaky and shady.”

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows and pointed at the big man with his chopsticks: Scare, you should be virtuous and stop prying into things in other people's houses. It doesn't matter whether they are anti-fetal medicines or abortion medicines. If they are not your mother-in-law, then you should be less careful. Get rid of these news.

The big man smiled dryly and said softly: Isn't this the news that was delivered to my door? Tsk, that woman, my cousin said, is quite tender and tender, with a pair of foxy eyes that are very seductive.

After a pause, the big man said in surprise: Especially, given the identity of that woman, it is strange that she went to buy anti-fetal medicine in person.

Just as Lu Qian was about to answer, a young man wearing a green gown and a square warm hat, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly over with a steady step. Lu Qian stood up and bowed to the young man: Uncle An ,morning!

The young man Lu An can be regarded as Lu Qian's cousin.

However, unlike Lu Jin, whose family was in decline, Lu An's father was now a sixth-rank official in the Yamen of Dayin Taifu. The official position is not big, the real power is not small, and there is plenty of money and wealth. Among the Lu clan members of the Tianenhou Mansion, the life of the Lu An family is considered to be extremely prosperous.

Lu An's family is kind-hearted and takes good care of their relatives.

Since Lu Qian was a child, Lu An's family has sponsored him with some money, food and other gifts during every festival. Lu Qian remembers the kindness of his family and sincerely respects Lu An.

Lu An is also a rare scholar among the Lu clan members of the Tianenhou Mansion.

At the age of eighteen, he was recommended by the Lu Clan Academy to study in the Imperial Academy in Haojing. It has been six years now. He is quite accomplished in poetry, etiquette, and especially Sutra. He is also among the top students in the Imperial Academy. first-class person.

However, in the past few years, Lu Qian's reputation in ethnic studies had become notorious on the street. Every time Lu An saw Lu Qian, he would often scold and scold him, which made Lu Qian gradually stay away from him and avoid Lu An when he saw him.

But today, I was stuck in a stall and it was so embarrassing to even want to run away.

When Lu An saw Lu Qian, a smile suddenly appeared on his cold face. He walked up to Lu Qian and patted Lu Qian's shoulder hard: Let me just say, Brother Qian is born with such a character. With such a cool and handsome appearance, he is definitely not a dull person.

Yesterday I was drinking with several teachers from the Imperial College, and two doctors mentioned what Chief Bai Shan said about you.

That clan's Xue Zheng Lu Jun is indeed a useless bastard who delays talents.

Chief Baishan has reviewed your homework in ethnic studies over the past few years and said that you have read the saint's classics thoroughly, and your skills in explaining the scriptures, interpreting them, etc. are top-notch.

Your poems and articles are of great literary talent and are extremely beautiful. Even among the top 100 people rated by Caiwei, there are few who can compare with you.

That big calligraphy of yours is even more powerful, dignified and steady, like a sacred mountain standing tall. It actually has a unique atmosphere.

Chief Baishan praised you and said that it shows that you are a real scholar. However, you were delayed by a bunch of losers from the clan school.

Lu An took out a small sling of copper coins from his sleeve and threw it to the big man generously.

Twenty portions of strange-flavor tofu, five portions are spicy, five are mildly spicy, and ten are hot and sour. Hurry.

Lu Qian stood beside Lu An and stayed there.

Bai Changkong, the deputy director of the Imperial Academy, 'cleared his name'?

What’s more, the doctors from the Imperial College made him famous?

There's a ghost! Lu Qian muttered to himself.
