Chapter 102 A bowl of wine and a life
Xue saw that she was already excited and didn't know what to say, because her heart was surging, and the majestic scenery on her chest fell with her breathing. But she ignored it. She opened the wooden box and sealed it devoutly, picked out a trace of it from it with her little finger and touched it on the back of her hand. The next moment she immediately pressed the wooden box tightly, for fear that there would be less gouache inside.
Slowly approaching the back of his hand, Xue Jian murmured to himself with excitement: "I have heard the woman in Luo Yuncheng talk about it before, saying that there are two types of rouge and water powder in Luo Yuncheng, one from other families, and the other from Jinxiuzhai. Today I have the fate to meet, and it is really... It's really worthy of its reputation!"
Gu Changfeng smiled, took a bowl of bamboo leaves handed over by Huang Mantang, and nodded to greet him, and then smiled at Xue Jian, who was a little crazy beside him, saying, "Since you like this box of gouache so much, I can tell you a secret."
Xue Jian carefully placed the box of gouache on his bulging chest, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face, and said with a smile like a flower: "What do the young master want to give? Just give it. For the sake of this box of rouge, even if the young master wants my family to warm the bed, I will run to the young master's bed without saying a word."
Gu Changfeng was choked by Xuejian's large-scale words and then returned to normal and said, "If you can be more serious in the future, I can consider supplying you with this rouge powder from Jinxiuzhai indefinitely."
This time it was Xuejian's turn to be slightly stunned, and then a look of excitement appeared on her handsome white face. But after a moment, the excitement faded like a tide. Xuejian shook her head regretfully and whispered: "Young Master, I have a good intention. Although this rouge powder from Jinxiuzhai is better, the price is really expensive. Mr. Huang is right. The silver is not blowing from the strong wind. We can save one minute if we can."
Gu Changfeng picked up the sea bowl and signaled to Huang Mantang. Then, with a light touch, the two drank the bamboo leaves in the sea bowl and drank it all. Gu Changfeng wiped his mouth with uneasy, took a chopstick of stir-fried chicken with bamboo chopsticks and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said with a smile: "Although the rouge powder in Jinxiuzhai is more expensive, we don't have to spend a penny of silver in the future."
Xue Jian curled her lips slightly, but she did not interrupt the young master's bragging.
Gu Changfeng picked up the sea bowl and took a sip of the fragrant bamboo leaf green, and then casually said: "Because this Jinxiuzhai is actually an industry under our Daode Sect."
As soon as these words came out, the courtyard was silent.
Xue Jian's face changed slightly, and her right hand trembled subconsciously, but she stopped immediately. She looked at Gu Changfeng with her lips pursed, not knowing what to say.
Huang Mantang's movement of holding the wine was slightly stopped. Because he lowered his head, Xuejian couldn't see his expression. He picked up the sea bowl and took a sip of Zhuyeqing. After putting down the sea bowl, he pinched two peanuts with two rough fingers, blew off the salt grains on it and put them in his mouth. He lowered his head and chewed the peanuts and asked, "Brother Gu, tell me why, why is this?"
Gu Changfeng took a chopped fried pork liver and put it in his mouth, and smiled and said, "This pork liver is pretty good, it tastes so good, it's a bit spicy. Lao Huang, you can eat spicy food, you should eat more pork liver."
Huang Mantang finally raised his head, and his face was solemn in addition to calmness. He put down his bamboo chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gu is going to learn from those heroes in history and be loyal to you in the future; do you still want to tie my more than 100 kilograms of meat to you, Mr. Gu, on a warship?"
Not only did his tone change, but his title also changed.
The naked hostility is already clearly revealed.
Xue Jian looked slightly angry, and her eyes narrowed, and her words became colder: "Huang Mantang, do you really think you are the Mr. Zhuge who was visited by three visits to the cottage?"
Huang Mantang looked at Xue casually, picked up the bowl and sipped: "I, Lao Huang, is a native dog with his front teeth. How dare I put on airs now? But even if I, Lao Huang, is not worth much, I, must know how much money I can sell before I sell myself, right?"
Xue saw that one hand had been folded around her waist. Although she did not pull out the weapon, the atmosphere in the courtyard had changed from quiet to solemn.
Gu Changfeng finally raised his head and looked at Huang Mantang's old bronze face and said calmly: "Old Huang, listen to me. I know how much I am. I don't have the tyrant spirit in the novel, nor the ability to accept the head when I meet. I will tell you this, but I just think that you followed me to Luoyun City because of a letter from my family teacher. There are some things you need to know. Take a step back and say that even if you die one day, I have to let you know why you died, right?"
Huang Mantang was silent for a moment, and finally said leisurely: "Do you know how much money your Gu Jiu's head is worth in the sea captain's document?"
"You are all people who buried the loess in your neck. You are alone in this life. What's the use of asking for so much money? Let me burn it for you after you die?" Gu Changfeng pinched two peanuts and threw them into his mouth. When he first entered his mouth, he felt a little astringent, but after chewing it, the more fragrant it became, the aftertaste it became endless.
Xue Jian felt that he was going to suffer. Even if the young master said this was the truth, it was really too aggressive. Do you really think that Huang Mantang is really a tough farmhand?
Unexpectedly, Huang Mantang laughed after hearing this. He picked up the bamboo chopsticks again and took a large piece of chicken thread and put them in his mouth to chew them. Then he took the bamboo chopsticks and pointed at Gu Changfeng: "Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu, Mr. Yang Gong is really right, you are such a piece of material."
After Huang Mantang said this, the atmosphere in the courtyard became slightly more relaxed.
Xue Jian slowly took his hand away from his waist, and a charming smile appeared on his face again.
Gu Changfeng also smiled slightly, got up and poured bamboo leaves on the two of them all over the sea bowls: "Old Huang, don't call me Gu Jiu, my surname is Gu, and my name is Changfeng."
"Gu Changfeng..." Huang Mantang raised his head and looked at the starry sky and muttered to himself, "It doesn't look like the name given by the butcher..."
Gu Changfeng sat back with a full drink, and held the bowl and smiled, "This name was asked by my father to Mr. Bai of the Chunqiu Academy. With the words he knew, it would be nice not to give me a dog."
Huang Mantang also picked up the sea bowl and looked fascinated: "Although the butcher is not as good-looking as you, what he does is really beautiful. Unfortunately, I just heard of it and never saw it."
Gu Changfeng gently touched Huang Mantang with a bowl of sea and said softly: "A bowl of wine is full of life, Lao Huang, will you drink it?"
Huang Mantang laughed generously: "The butcher died 60,000 soldiers for Dongling. How could I not drink this bowl of wine?"
