Chapter 521: Jianghu Martial Arts
Lu Xiaoxian asked again: "Who is that person next to him? It seems that their relationship is extraordinary?"
Although Mu Ganren has only been in Youzhou City for a short time, he has been around the market and is very well-informed. He said calmly: "This person's name is Qin Er, he is a famous foodie in Youzhou City!"
"What is post-food?" Lu Wuji asked puzzledly.
Mu Qianren knew very well what was going on in the market. He explained: "Tianfian is also called a helper. To put it bluntly, he is a gangster who has read a book. Qin Erlue is well versed in literature and writing. He is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He can tell jokes and laugh at everything. , who specializes in working among the children of rich families, relying on prostitutes to pay for their food, accompanying them in gambling and drinking, making jokes and flattery to add to their entertainment."
As soon as Mu Qianren finished speaking, Lu Wuyou and Qin Er entered the largest good luck gambling house in Youzhou City.
Lu Xiaoxian already knew in his heart that it seemed that the Lin family had already taken action against the Lu family.
The Lu family is facing a major crisis. As the eldest son, Lu Wuyou is in charge of the Lu family's property in Youzhou City. At this time, he is still in the mood to gamble, which makes Lu Xiaoxian completely speechless.
…
Chang Toutou was younger than Lu Xiaoxian imagined. He was less than thirty years old, tall and thick. At first glance, he looked like a very powerful type, but he spoke softly and slowly.
It was obvious that Chang Tou had a good relationship with Mu Qianren. When Mu Qianren said that Lu Xiaoxian and the other two were his friends, he generously invited them to sit together.
Chang was very generous and ordered a table of rich dishes. He also specially ordered a jar of "Ner'er's Red" that the restaurant had collected for many years. "Ner'er's Red" is the best wine in Qiu Fengpo. A jar costs forty taels of silver, or even More expensive than the price of a table of dishes.
Chang Baotou didn't have any airs. Not only did he chat and joke casually with Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao, but he also frequently raised glasses.
Because they were thinking about going back in the evening, Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao did not dare to drink at all. However, Lu Xiaoxian would not refuse anyone who came, and as long as he held the cup, he would drink every drop.
It is said that it is easiest for men to build relationships between men at the wine table, and it is indeed true. Lu Xiaoxian's boldness in drinking made Chang Toutou fall in love with him, and after a while he started to treat him like a brother.
"Xiao Mu, you said who won the competition between Jiang Yuqiao and Master Gongza in the end?" Chang asked Mu Ganren with a cold head.
Jiang Yuqiao, when he heard this familiar name, the face of that man who was obsessed with martial arts suddenly flashed in Lu Xiaoxian's mind.
Lu Xiaoxian hadn't seen Jiang Yuqiao for a long time since we left Yingzhou City. If he hadn't mentioned him so often today, Lu Xiaoxian would have almost forgotten about him.
"I don't know!" Mu Ganren took a bite of the dish and said, "Jiang Yuqiao challenged Master Gongza and disappeared forever. No one knows who won and who lost!"
Chang raised his head and guessed: "I think it was Master Gongza who won. Jiang Yuqiao was either defeated and recovering from his injuries, or he hid it out of fear of embarrassment, or how come there was no news at all?"
Mu Ganren shook his head slightly: "That's not necessarily true. Jiang Yuqiao can be ranked first among the seven sects. How can he be defeated so easily?"
After hearing what the two of them said, Lu Xiaoxian pretended not to know and asked, "Who is Jiang Yuqiao?"
Chang raised his head and looked at Lu Wuji in surprise: "You don't even know about Jiang Yuqiao?"
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "I don't know!"
"Then have you ever heard of the seven sects of Jianghu?" Chang raised his head and asked again.
Since you are pretending to be stupid, you have to pretend to the end.
"never heard of that!"
Chang couldn't help but shook his head, seeming to feel sorry for Lu Xiaoxian's ignorance.
"Let's do this, drink three glasses of wine and I'll tell you!" Chang stared at Lu Xiaoxian and said.
"no problem!"
Lu Xiaoxian drank three glasses of wine in an instant.
Chang raised his head and explained to him: "East China Sea Fulong Island, Central Plains Luohua Knife Sect, Central Sichuan Tangmen, Nanzhao Wulong Village, Turkic Holy Water Palace, Western Region Eagle Fort, Tubo Esoteric Sect, these seven are called the seven major martial arts schools. Faction! The Jiang Yuqiao we were talking about just now is the owner of Fulong Island in the East China Sea, the leader of the seven major factions!"
Lu Xiaoxian gave a thumbs up to Chang Tuotou: "Chang Tuotou really knows a lot about the affairs of the world!"
"Where!" Chang slapped Mu Ganren with his head and said with a smile, "Xiao Mu told me these!"
Mu Qianren said modestly: "Chang Tou Tou likes to hear these things in the world the most, so I told him what I knew. Many of them were just hearsay, and I don't know if they are true!"
Lu Xiaoxian stopped talking. He could understand Chang Boutou's mood. As long as he is a man, who has not had the dream of rivers and lakes and martial arts. He dreams of becoming a lonely master one day, chopping melons and vegetables at martial arts conferences, winning the favor of beauties, and attracting thousands of people. respect.
Although Chang Baotou is just a gangster on the streets of Youzhou City, this does not prevent him from being fascinated by the martial arts world.
"Chang Boss, since you like to hear about the martial arts world, let me tell you a story. It can also be regarded as a greeting gift when we meet for the first time!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly,
"Okay, okay!" Chang Tuotou said happily: "Mr. Lu, please hurry up and say it!"
It took Lu Xiaoxian more than an hour to finish telling "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" which had compressed a lot of content. Of course, the Song Dynasty in his book was changed to a previous dynasty.
After Lu Xiaoxian finished speaking, Ke Chang kept his head still immersed in the story. After a long time, he breathed a deep sigh of relief and said, "It's so soul-stirring, I should drink three glasses of it!"
After that, Chang poured his head and drank three glasses of wine.
"Master Lu, just based on the story you told me, I have made you my friend." Chang patted his head on his chest and said, "If you have any problems that cannot be solved in Youzhou City, just come to me and I will do my best. I'm here to help you, but if I don't keep my word, I will die without a burial place just like Yang Kang!"
He often showed off his skills and even used Yang Kang in the story to swear, which shows that this story really moved him.
It was something that people thought was funny, but Lu Xiaoxian couldn't laugh. He could feel Chang's sincerity from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Xiaoxian was not polite. He also drank three glasses of wine and said sincerely to Chang Boutou: "As Chang Boutou said, if there is anything difficult, I will definitely disturb you!"
At this point, Lu Xiaoxian pointed at Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao: "And they, if they have any trouble, I hope they will lend a helping hand!"
"No problem!" Chang Toutou agreed boldly.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too heavy and depressing. Chang Chang changed the subject and asked Mu Ganren with a smile: "My greatest wish is to be able to walk in the world and do justice. I don't know what your greatest wish is, Xiao Mu." ?”
Mu Ganren sighed: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. My biggest wish is to live an ordinary life like an ordinary person, without any worries!"
"Live like an ordinary person?" Lu Wuji asked stupidly, "Aren't you an ordinary person?"
Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Mu Qianren intentionally or unintentionally, but said nothing.
"Alas! How should I put it?" Mu Ganren said calmly: "My family has some money and some influence. My father wanted me to inherit his business in the future, but I couldn't stand the restraints, so I ran away from home. Come out. So, for me, being able to live an ordinary life like ordinary people is my biggest wish!"
It turned out that Mu Qianren turned out to be the young master who ran away from home. After hearing Mu Qianren's words, Lu Wuji was speechless for a long time.
Mu Ganren continued: "I remember when I was a child, my father once asked us brothers and sisters what flowers we liked. Some said roses, some said peonies, but I said I like dogtail flowers. My father was very strange and asked me why. I Although the dog-tail flower is much humbler than the white flower, it is not ostentatious, pretentious, or pretentious. I hope to be like it, open-minded and happy-go-lucky!"
This is another heavy topic.
Lu Xiaoxian was afraid that Mu Qianren could not control his emotions, so he revealed his words and turned his attention to Lu Yuxiao: "Third Master, what is your greatest wish?"
Lu Yuxiao blurted out without thinking: "Play cockfighting, play dogfighting, play all the fun, if possible, let me play for a lifetime, this is my biggest wish!"
Although Lu Yuxiao's words were not popular on the stage, they were straightforward, and the three of them burst out laughing.
Lu Yuxiao scratched his head: "I am telling the truth!"
Lu Xiaoxian was moved and asked: "How can you survive just by playing? If you were asked to engage in a profession, what would you do first?"
Lu Yuxiao thought for a while and then said seriously: "I want to go into business!"
Lu Xiaoxian had long expected that Lu Yuxiao did not like studying, but Lu Xiaoxian did not expect that he would choose to go into business.
You must know that the status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty was quite low. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, businessmen not only could not be officials, but also had a lower status than ordinary people.
Taizong once said to his minister Fang Xuanling: "If we remove this official position, we will treat wise men and motley businessmen. If they are more skilled than their peers, they can only give generous gifts. They must not be given more official ranks and stand shoulder to shoulder with the wise gentlemen of the court." , sit and eat together." It means that businessmen only need to give them some material benefits, but they must not be allowed to be officials and sit at the same table with the sages and wise kings in the court.
When Emperor Gaozong was in power, he also promulgated many laws that discriminated against merchants. For example, merchants were not allowed to wear yellow clothes or ride horse-drawn carriages.
Although the Lu family has many properties, they will not let their children give up their studies and go into business. For example, Lu Wuyou, the eldest son of the Lu family, only needs to understand what the Lu family's properties are. Maybe become a real businessman.
"Why?" Lu Xiaoxian wanted to know the reason.
"Because I like it!" Lu Yuxiao said confidently.
Lu Xiaoxian was startled at first, and then smiled. I like it. This may not be the reason, but it is the biggest reason.
He solemnly said to Lu Yuxiao: "Maybe your wish will come true soon. I hope you can be an excellent businessman in the future!"
Mu Qianren also raised his glass: "In order for your wish to come true as soon as possible, let's drink three glasses of wine!"
Several people laughed and drank the wine.
"It's your turn! Mr. Lu! What is your greatest wish?" Chang glanced at Lu Xiaoxian.
