There are indeed a lot of people in Bian Feng City, and there are no interruptions in the traffic. There are several teahouses and wine shops on the official road outside the city wall, which is not very high, and the business is quite good.
Chen Mo chose a tea shop with relatively few people. Although there were few people, there was not a single empty table or chair. The diligent child welcomed the two of them to a seat and asked them to sit down.
"Come and have something to eat." Chen Mo ordered.
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." Before leaving, the child did not forget to take a second look at Jiang Nu, who was sitting next to Chen Mo Sheng.
There was a middle-aged couple sitting at the same table with Chen Mo. Chen Mo did not let Jiang Nu sit on the empty bench alone, but sat on the same bench with him.
"Little brother, it's a bit unfamiliar. Is this your first time here in Bian Feng City?" The middle-aged man ate his own food and looked at Chen Mo and the other two, but his eyes were more focused on Jiang Nu and asked.
"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded, got a cup of tea for Jiang Nu, and poured himself a cup.
"You're from Quzhou, I heard. It's very noisy there. A lot of people are running towards us. A while ago they were swarming in, and then a swarm of swarms came out. I don't think it's too noisy. Do you want to
Want some?" The middle-aged man said and moved what he ordered a little closer to Chen Mo, and then his mother-in-law twisted his thigh under the table. The corners of his eyes only twitched, and he didn't show much abnormality.
.
"No need." Chen Mo refused.
The middle-aged man didn't care and continued: "Tell me, what's going on over there now? If... I'll be a bitch."
The middle-aged man was stunned by the unmasked Jiang Nu, and blurted out the next five words.
"Damn you, what are you looking at!" The woman grabbed her man's ear, but his man didn't react at all.
"Still reading?!" The woman's tone was already quite unkind, and her hands moved even harder.
The man was finally defeated by the pain and cried out "Ouch".
"Go home." The woman picked up the man.
"They won't refund you until you finish eating this thing." The man grinned and struggled.
"If you eat me again, I will pluck your ears off."
Before the man could finish eating, his mother-in-law grabbed his ears and snatched him away. The woman even cursed "vixen" in a low voice before leaving. Only the man gave Chen Mo a thumbs-up.
In the end, there were only two people left at the table, but this situation did not last long. Three more people came up under the excuse of not having a seat and wanted to share the table with Chen Mo.
Jiang Nu lowered her head to drink her tea and left all these matters to Chen Mo. She didn't believe that this time it would be like last time.
The new arrivals looked like scholars and behaved very politely. They just said hello to Chen Mo. I don’t know if they were too shy or were intimidated by Chen Mo’s face that was so repulsive to others.
, did not strike up a conversation with Chen Mo and Jiang Nu, but chatted in literate sentences, and from time to time they would pop out a line or two of poetry, which was just short of giving advice.
The waiter finally brought what Chen Mo ordered, plus a small jug of good wine. Because Chen Mo asked the waiter to take care of it, he brought some slightly more expensive things.
"What do you guys want to eat?" The waiter, while packing up the things left by the previous couple, asked the three scholars who had eaten at another table before. Now he pretended not to recognize them.
Look.
The three cash-strapped scholars looked at each other and cursed the ignorant boy in their hearts. Then they sat down and said generously: "It's a great pleasure to have a friend come from afar, so we should treat him with the best wine."
Several people were secretly glad that this was a tea shop. The best wine didn't cost much money. If they were in a wine shop, they wouldn't gain weight no matter how much they slapped them in the face.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter shook the rag and walked away.
This time the waiter was very agile. Not long after he left, he came back with three porcelain bottles. He gently placed the three blue and white porcelain bottles in front of the three people, ignoring the twitching corners of their eyes and flattering them.
He smiled and said: "Our signature wine, blue and white wine, is most suitable for having a cup when friends meet. Please use it slowly. After a while, we will give you this side dish to drink with."
Every word the waiter said was like a knife piercing into the hearts of the three of them, but they couldn't refuse in front of the beauty: this blue and white wine costs one tael of silver a bottle!
They forced a smile and carefully poured a cup into their own cups. Every drop spilled made them feel distressed. The sound of "ding" was a toast to their friendship, and it was also the sound of their hearts breaking.
At this time, Chen Mo thought of what Xiao Yanyu, who had been chirping in his ears all day long, said: "A gentle lady is a good gentleman."
"You laughed?!" Jiang Nu inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chen Mo's mouth slightly raised. This was the first time she saw Chen Mo with a second expression.
"So?" Chen Mo turned around and looked at Jiang Nu who was a little surprised.
The two of them sat very close to each other and spoke in a very low voice. In the eyes of the three poor scholars, they were like two young lovers whispering, but they still refused to give up. In their eyes, Chen Mo was just a bumpkin.
How can a poor person be worthy of a beautiful woman?
Finally, someone took the lead and couldn't sit still and said to Chen Mo: "Little brother, you and I are sitting at the same table. No, it's just a few of us who want to thank little brother if he doesn't mind if we sit down. If you don't mind, let's invite him."
Have a drink.”
"Okay." Chen Mo stretched out his cup in front of the man without politeness.
Straw bag, it is indeed a straw bag.
The three of them despised Chen Mo's behavior in their hearts, but their faces were filled with hospitable smiles: "Little brother, you are really cheerful."
The four people's cups touched each other lightly in the air, and then drained away. The poor scholar who was desperate to save face and suffered all the trouble felt that drinking this wine was not so heart-wrenching.
“Good wine.”
Once they opened their mouth, they naturally took advantage of the victory and immediately abandoned Chen Mo, the first person. The target was naturally the woman sitting next to Chen Mo. As for Chen Mo's name, they also ignored it.
"Girl, I'm Chen Shi'an from Bian Fengcheng."
"I'm sealing the city in Xia Bian to pay tribute to Confucius."
"I am enclosing the city of Xia Bian to Zhu Hao."
"I've met the three young masters." Jiang Nu smiled and counted the gifts in return.
A smile that captivates the city!
The three scholars have been fascinated by Jiang Nu's smile. It is estimated that if Jiang Nu smiles again and kills others, they will die, and they probably don't care anymore.
"Dare you ask the girl her name?"
"Where are you from?"
"Do you have a spouse?"
Jiang Nu looked at Chen Mo and saw Chen Mo eating something and saying, "No comment."
At this time, the three of them realized their gaffe, tidied up their white washed clothes, which were not messy, and said, "I'm sorry, I was drunk and I was a little rude. I will apologize to my little brother and this girl."
The three of them immediately poured themselves a glass of wine to relieve the embarrassment of their previous impulsiveness. At this time, the waiter also brought them a gift, a plate of spicy and sour cold dishes for them to drink, and several of them smiled and thanked them.
Chen Mo guessed that the waiter was overjoyed. He could only accept it silently even though he was clearly treating them as their culprits.
"Would you two like to try something?"
"No, my wife is not feeling well and cannot eat anything cold." Chen Mo took the topic naturally. He couldn't always let Jiang Nu block everything.
Wife?! Alas~.
Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still a little disappointed. They prayed that it would be best for them to be brother and sister. In this case, they could only reluctantly wish that the lovers would eventually become brother and sister.
"Then you have to be careful. But don't worry, little brother. There is a doctor in Yongzi Lane in Bian Fengcheng. His medical skills are very good. You might as well take your younger brothers and sisters to have a look. But it's a bit crowded and expensive, but little brother
Don’t worry, as long as you tell me my name, Kong Youli, he will definitely give you priority as an apology for your previous reckless actions.”
Kong Youli instantly became enthusiastic and changed his name for Jiang Nu. As for whether the famous doctor he mentioned existed or not, maybe he was just making up nonsense. He was sure that this poor boy with such a beautiful wife would not go looking for that famous doctor.
.
As he said, Chen Mo did not accept his opinion and said: "Don't bother, my life is cheap and I won't die."
Don't forget what Chen Mo said. The three of them felt a sense of indignation in their hearts. They despised this guy who was so blessed and didn't know how to be blessed. With such a beautiful wife, if he didn't coax her and raise her obediently, it would be like this.
The boy just let this flower wither.
Jiang Nu was also quite uncomfortable when Chen Mo said this, and secretly pinched Chen Mo's thigh. This was the first time that she took the initiative to touch this guy's body. She didn't touch him even when she bandaged his wound last time.
"Little brother, you can't say that. I'm getting sick like a mountain. If you don't take a good look at it, you will really be crushed. You don't want to see this beauty... this sister-in-law leave you like this.
, what do you get? If the money is gone, you can still make money, but if the people are gone, everything will stop."
The man named Zhu Hao made the matter very serious and a bit shocking.
"If you really don't have any money, we brothers can help you get some."
I'll let you borrow it first. Even if you cure her illness, you won't have the money to pay her back, and we brothers will turn against each other. What will you give her back? Of course it will be your beautiful daughter-in-law.
The three of them all thought of this at the same time.
"No need. For such a minor illness, just go home and cover yourself with a quilt and sweat." Chen Mo said nonchalantly.
Chen Mo was talking nonsense. He was sick and could just break out in a sweat. Jiang Nu couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't blame him out loud.
"What a nonsense."
Chen Shi'an said angrily, trying to reason with this idiot was like a scholar meeting a soldier.
"I did this when I was a child, so I can survive today even without money." Chen Mo said while eating, and then looked at Jiang Nu. "Eat quickly, we can go on our way after eating."
