Chapter 239 There is no lack of noise in the world
On Yue Street beside Qiyue City, one of the few remaining old streets, a new calligraphy and painting shop "Qingfengxuan" has opened.
The calligraphy and paintings in the shop are all made by the shop owner, with various styles, some wild and uninhibited, some neat and elegant, some scrawled, and they are not very outstanding in the eyes of experts. They do not buy famous calligraphers and calligraphers in the city come to sell them door-to-door.
calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, the business is deserted and there are only a few people around.
However, the young shopkeeper and his wife lived a leisurely life. They often spent half a day wandering the streets hand in hand, buying novelty items, and tasting street food and snacks. They only opened their doors in the afternoon to do business, writing and drawing, very casually.
A gangster man on the street came to collect his first payment, but the female shopkeeper in the green skirt gave him away with three copper coins.
That day, a group of aggressive men came. Under the watchful eyes of the neighbors who were whispering and whispering to each other, they fell from their shops onto the street one by one, shouting "Ouch!", their noses and faces were swollen, and they could no longer get up.
The young and pretty female shopkeeper stood at the door and said with a smile: "You broke Qingfengxuan's calligraphy and paintings. Each of you will be charged one tael of silver for the damage. If you leave it here, if you don't pay, don't even think about leaving. Just stay on the street."
Lie down."
"You little bitch..."
The vicious man at the head was unconvinced and cursed.
"Pa", the man seemed to have been kicked in the chin. He flipped up from the ground into the air, and then fell hard to the stone ground. Five teeth in his mouth were knocked out, blood flowed, and he could no longer speak.
.
"I'm afraid I can go out and play today."
Chen Mou was reading a book and drinking tea leisurely in the booth outside the shop. He didn't pay attention to Xu'er's lesson about the gangsters. There was no smell or filth in the world, so it was necessary to calm down and swallow the anger.
The young master said that he must force himself. If he wants to date, he wants to date.
Xu'er accepted the gift with a smile, a string of strange colorful shells shining with precious light, which was refined into a protective treasure by Senior Brother Gu. She thanked him and invited Senior Brother Gu to come to the front to drink tea.
The visitor was none other than Gu Zong, a young man in seclusion, wearing a white Taoist robe and carrying a small wine gourd on his waist.
There was a commotion over there, and not even a single person showed up in this lowest attic in the middle of the city.
Gu Zong said humbly, "My feelings for my little senior brother come from the bottom of my heart."
"The first two pearls of Yaojiang wine are really gone. As you know, those things can't be kept at all. It means you are a bad wine and you just tasted one."
Maybe it's because your cultivation level has improved, your state of mind has changed, and standing too low, you can see through other people's big plans and sneaky thoughts at a glance. You just need to use your magical power. That feeling makes you feel that the world is interesting and full of filth.
"It's all gone, it's all gone. Whoever wants to see silence can pay, one tael of silver a piece. Children and old people can be bullied."
…
Gu Zong stayed in the secular world for a very long time. I imparted some insights and experiences, and by daybreak, he had drifted away.
Gu Zong smiled at Xu'er who came out to salute: "Xu'er is getting more and more energetic and beautiful. Come on, that's a gift from his old brother. Don't keep it. Xu'er, he helped his old brother tidy up a room in the front yard. Chai
The house is ready, so you can stay there for a little longer."
In addition to often going to watch the moon and talk about family life with two old sisters, in that city, you only played with a few older children in the distance for a year, and did you make any friends with your bad and quiet temperament?
, it’s a miracle.
Chen Mou smiled and put down the scroll and walked towards the screen.
Chen Mouyounai took out a pill bottle from his sleeve and handed it out. Senior Brother Gu, who was always respected, laughed and snatched it away.
A small figure crossed the threshold and walked out of the shop. Someone nearby tugged on his left hand and shouted: "Shopkeeper, you have rounded up all the calligraphy and paintings outside his shop."
Gu Zong was able to forge two wine beads. Filled with anger, he opened the cork of the bottle, sniffed the overflowing wine aroma, and said intoxicatedly: "Yaomin wine beads that are at least a thousand years old are the best in the world. You can only find them, but you can only ask for them. God
I treat you so poorly."
Waving his hands to drive away.
Xu'er put his hands on his waist and still stood there, with a worried look on his face, and said: "I scolded you seven times, and I'll give you seven taels of silver less. I dare you to pay me and give it a try. You robbed their home."
Before I advanced to Nascent Soul, I knew that my senior disciple had another identity.
Rich men with no wealth, as well as officials who were short of money in the city, came to admire the shopkeeper's small works. Although the price of ten taels of silver per foot was comparable to the works of small masters, no one paid to buy them. Maybe they could hang them outside their homes.
How about guarding the house to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth?
At one hour, an old man from the gang came forward, brought the fine, bowed and said a few words of apology.
"It's still slightly inferior to my junior senior brother."
Life continues to be intense, and monks often come out of the shop to have a look. When they see the man who is the shopkeeper, they see that he is a cultivated person, and he does not come quietly, leave quietly, or buy a few pieces of calligraphy and painting that seem to be outstanding.
Xu'er was not interested and waved her hand to let him go. He was a man who could move while lying on the ground. He got up and ran slowly.
But it is of no use. It is a mistake to burn down the house when it should be flooded, and to protect the official title when it should be abandoned.
Gu Zong put away the bottle and said with a smile: "It's his fault, he's quite capable. You still had no vision back then, haha, even you yourself are so impressed."
Ge Chan walked out, smiled and held up her hands: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Gu, when did you get out of seclusion? First of all, let me make it clear that you really have these wine beads. You want to take the calligraphy and painting, right?"
Qiyue City lacks the presence of gods and immortals, so it is easy to see strange things.
Xu'er put down the brush, stretched, and said: "Master, I went out to the city today to play. The autumn air is low and refreshing, and the wild animals are getting fat. I will hunt two hares and roast them."
A year has passed, and the Qingfengxuan shop has returned to a warm and quiet atmosphere. Except for the frequent absence of people wandering around, they often come out empty-handed.
Now that you have retired from the world, you realize that you are not as willing to interact with ordinary people as you were in the future.
Quickly, Chen Mou was able to blend into the atmosphere of ordinary people again, put on his Taoist robes, put down his books and brushes, and exited the market in ordinary clothes.
After this incident, Qingfengxuan's business declined.
Yes, I do have a point. What I care about is character and whether we can get along with each other. Can I exchange wine for a person who steals from heaven?
I have a sit-and-dwell nature. This time I advance to Nascent Soul, of course I have to travel around the world.
Quietness in the world is always in short supply.
Chen Mou curled his lips, it was my fault, what does it have to do with God?
"Wow!", all the onlookers on the street ran away, and who could see the silence of asking for money? Everyone knows that the Green Wolf Gang kicked the iron plate that time and encountered a tough opponent. It was probably the fairy head that came and went low and low to collect money.
Down.
"Okay, Xu'er, I just need to prepare the room. You can leave later."
We drank wine as tea and sat down to discuss the Tao.
Xu'er said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, you have a keen eye for discerning pearls. There are people outside the sect who are out of touch with you."
When the officials in the city searched for anything about the past and background of Qingfengxuan and Qingfengxuan, it was so simple that except for their names, it was cleaner than paper. That would be terrible.
