Chapter 66: Driving the Tiger and Swallowing the Wolf (1)

As soon as it was time to get to the lights, the deserted Shuyu Alley gradually became lively during the day.&1t;/p>

All the bookstores came out with some servants dressed in green clothes and hats. They swept the snow in front of their doors and cleaned the streets in front of their doors. The big buckets carried the night fragrance sent from the small corner door and handed them away to the manure trucks. They didn't forget to smoke the pine fragrance around the small corner door so that the smell of night fragrance would not leak and smoke the distinguished guests who came after a while.&1t;/p>

The freshly baked snacks are naturally delivered by time-honored brands, and the fresh and popular fruits are also worshipped by the farmers outside Sijiu City. The famous Bada House in Sijiu City, the swallowtail mats that were ordered early in the spring, and the Cantonese cuisine mats are all large food boxes and people are carried over. The young man who set up the plates has to wrap his shoes with green cloth before entering the Shuyuan. He said that he was afraid that the soil under his feet would be stuck and broken. The green brick floor that had just been scrubbed three times in the Shuyuan, and the mahogany floor!&1t;/p>

Just as the tenth day, there were many buyers and sellers who settled the bills at the 10th day, holding the account books by Zihou next to the small club door, waiting for the madam who was the head of the book house. The big teapot was swinging a small hand towel and holding the hookah. They all nodded and greeted the servants and greeted him with a honey. Then they carefully handed the account books they had prepared in front of others, waiting for the madams who were talking and scolding in their mouths. The big teapot threw down more or less money.&1t;/p>

After all the big lanterns illuminated in front of the doors of each book house were hung, men in exquisite long gowns or suits and ties appeared at the intersection of Shuyu Hutong. Some people who knew each other would bow and greet each other, and then walked towards the Shuyu Hutong, where they had their own sets of seats.&1t;/p>

He shrugged his shoulders and raised his voice. He was in the big teapot at the door of the Shuyuan and immediately greeted his customers. Before the people could approach the people, the flattering and complimenting voice had already ringed in an alley: "Hey......My Boss Ren, if you don't come again, my baby girl really has to ignore the ground and look for you at home! You don't know, so I beat you last night, and my baby girl didn't blink for a night, just muttering to you..."&1t;/p>

"Wow... I've burned Gaoxiang today, I've opened my eyes and learned from you! Manager Cui, this gold watch on your wrist is afraid that it's the only one in the city of Sijiu? It's dark, but the gold watch on your wrist is in a flash, and I still think that the sun is coming out again?!"&1t;/p>

"Master, you can prepare everything for you! Is there a guest today? You go in and sit down first. I'll welcome you here. I'll definitely not miss my affairs! Please give me a message. I'm going to invite you tonight. Is it Yang Gaoshen from the Republic of China government?"&1t;/p>

The bookstore, which had come early, immediately closed the door after welcoming the last guest into the bookstore. After passing half an incense stick, the bookstore that closed the door also heard the sound of rock-scissors and silk and bamboo.&1t;/p>

The two large teapots that were so clean that they welcomed guests in spring had been standing at the door of the Shuyuan for more than half an hour. Seeing that it was getting dark, among the customers who had settled in the spring, there was still a guest who did not come to the door.&1t;/p>

Secretly, he took out a small lump of cigarette paste from the bag in his sleeve and swallowed it. Xing Laoba sucked his eyebrows and his eyes slanted. He sniffed hard, and raised his head to Bai Laizi, the big teapot standing opposite him and shouted: "Who else is there here today? It's dark, why haven't you come to the door yet? Isn't it because the yellow-faced woman at home can't move?"&1t;/p>

He also touched a lump of cigarette paste and threw it into his mouth. He clasped his melon-skin hat and covered his dysentery. He rolled his eyes and shook his head: "I can't say that! The post I came to hand in the afternoon. The signature was Mr. Xiong who poked a pole on Zhushikouer Street. He invited Mr. Duan, the patrol officer in Zhushikouer Street. Some of the people who were accompanying him were all famous Qingke bamboo strips in Sijiu City..."&1t;/p>

By eating the small lump of cigarette paste, Xing Laoba rolled his eyes in surprise: "You said that the gangsters on the street treat us, when did they change to our library to play? Didn't they all lead those half-large officials to hit the mourning in the half-closed door? They also invited cleaners to accompany them? You see, the noodles have already been eaten, and it doesn't seem like they are waiting for some precious guests, but we have to wait outside... What's the matter?"&1t;/p>

The satin jacket he was wearing tightly tightly, Bai Laizi shook his head like a rattle: "No way! The weather is not right these days, and it's just October, so it's cold inside the bones. It's not surprising that he will do anything evil..."&1t;/p>

Before Bai Laizi could finish his shivering a few times, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared from the corner of Shuyu Hutong, and walked straight towards Chun Shuyu Hutong.&1t;/p>

Then, the big lantern hanging in front of the door of Chunshuyuan was full of people. Bai Laizi looked at the man who was not dressed like a wealthy person, and then looked at the half-grown child beside him, and immediately let out the breath that had just been lifted with cigarette paste.&1t;/p>

Just dressed up like this, all the alleys in Shuyu Hutong have been entertained. The most important thing is the followers led by the customers. If you are more polite, you can also set up a table in the side hut and serve a few vegetarian dishes to get a special mat for the followers. If you encounter something that is not very particular, squatting in the corner and giving a bowl of rotten noodles is a treat!&1t;/p>

Listeningly, Bai Laizi shouted at the strong man walking in front of him: "Who is he with? Today, the grandpas are carrying several grandpas with him, and the mats they have been placed have almost eaten..."&1t;/p>

Without waiting for Bai Laizi's ignorant to finish the door, the half-year-old child who was walking behind was already screaming in a stern voice: "Hey! I'm really aware today. This big teapot with spring guards is so slouching?! Which eye do you have to hold your eyes and see that our men are Changsui and followers? Let me tell you clearly that Mr. Xiong, who poked a pole on the street at Zhuchengkou, and Mr. Duan, the patrol chief, are waiting for us, and we are still leading the way in a straightforward way?!"&1t;/p>

Asking the half-old child to grab the white, the white leper is so angry!&1t;/p>

People say that in front of bald people, not to mention the moon, pointing at pockmarks and not talking about the cakes. They don’t mention the name of the bookstore. Even if they pull off their pants as the curtains, the men walking in front of the big teapots, they would shout "always urge" but these half-grown children...&1t;/p>

I just use words to stab people's hearts!&1t;/p>

Without waiting for Bai Laizi to speak again, the strong man who had already reached the door of Chunshuyuan raised his hand slightly and accidentally threw a piece of ocean into Bai Laizi's arms: "It's too late, don't let Mr. Xiong, Mr. Duan wait for us anymore, lead the way!"&1t;/p>

Although he was just thrown into his arms by a large ocean, Bai Laizi still felt that his ribs were hurt by the ocean through two or three layers of thick clothes. After looking at the skeleton of the strong man's body, Bai Laizi, who had seen in some scenes, immediately changed into a smile, nodded and bowed to the skeleton and said in a flattering manner: "Hey...... I thanked this master for the reward first! Please come here, Mr. Xiong, Mr. Duan, but he came early..."&1t;/p>

He gave a wink at Jiuhouer who was following him, and Xiang Youbao, who had just changed into clean clothes, followed Bai Laizi, and walked straight to the Chunshu House.&1t;/p>

Since it is a land area that is specially used to make a fuss, the layout of ordinary book houses is also considered to be exquisite. The half-true Taihu stone, the bends of Huangshan pine, the dead water pond are raised with a few leaves of residual lotus, and a few strings of copper bells hanging on the living wooden stakes. If you don’t look closely or be serious, you can also be considered to have some elegant scenery.&1t;/p>

Especially in this spring book apartment, I don’t know if I really invited experts who understand the scenery to help build it. In the yard that is not too big, I asked someone to lay out half of the pond with fine sand and pebbles, and then pad a few pieces of rammed earth in the pond to feed a few clusters of bamboo. Maybe I can’t see the meaning during the day, but at night I took a lantern and saw the pond as big as a palm, and I could see at a glance the smell of the winding paths and deep water!&1t;/p>

Following the dry land on the other side, three pavilions were built in a long corridor, including round, square and star anise. The pavilions were also wooden tables, bamboo benches, stone chessboards, each with its own differences.&1t;/p>

Walking along the corridor to the end, two small buildings were separated from left and right. One of them had only two or three oil lamps, while the other was brightly lit. The sound of the rock-scissors and movements came quietly through the door, which was very lively.&1t;/p>

Through the door, Bai Laizi, who was leading the way in front, reached out and pushed open the carved grille door, and shouted to the people who were performing the game in the room, "A distinguished guest is here!"&1t;/p>

Just waiting for the carved grille door to open, Xiang Youbao immediately changed into a smile and bowed to Master Duan, who was already drunk and blushed: "Mr. Duan, Master Xiong, all men, I'm going to be late here, I'll forgive me!"&1t;/p>

He drew a large glass of Shanxi Laofenjiu in his hand in one gulp. Master Xiong, who was sitting next to Master Duan, squinted his eyes and drank red. He whispered a wine in his mouth and shouted and followed Xiang Youbao's words: "Don't say anything else, I'll punish three wines first... three big bowls!"&1t;/p>

In the midst of his mouth and echoing, Mr. Duan, who was sitting on the main seat, also nodded frequently: "I deserve a punishment! I deserve a punishment!"&1t;/p>

She took the wine bowl handed over by the little girl who was serving at the wine table very generously. Xiang Youbao raised his hand and grabbed the copper wine pot warmed in the wine plug on the table, and poured a bowl of Shanxi Laofenjiu: "Master Duan, Master Xiong is talking, then I will refuse to obey my orders, but I really don't know how to praise you! Master, I'll do it first!"&1t;/p>

Amid the loud cheers, no one noticed that Jiuhouer, who was following Xiang Youbao, had already walked towards the backyard of Chunshuyuan with a few lights on while no one was paying attention....***(To be continued)&1t;/p>
