Lord of Puluo
Chapter 445: Literati Customs
Tan Fucheng hired a dozen rickshaws and took everyone to Yansha Zhai.
Along the way, he did not say another word, and several of the attendants did not dare to speak. In front of these coachmen, Tan Fucheng and others felt inferior to their vulgarity.
Li Banfeng was very curious, what is there to feel inferior about? Tan Fucheng used to be a very free and easy person, why did he suddenly dislike himself today?
Lu Chunying and Lu Yuanxin seemed not to be affected at all.
"well."

Li Banfeng heard another sigh.
The driver put down the bars of the carriage and said to Tan Fucheng: "The so-called end is just a short stagnation in the journey. After the stagnation, people will eventually embark on a new journey.
The cycle of life is just a scenery during the journey, and only the steps on the journey are the unchanging eternity. "
Tan Fucheng bowed deeply and told his men: "Don't say that I pulled a foreign car in the future. I really don't deserve it."
Yanshazhai is a study room with a collection of tens of thousands of books. It also functions as an inn. Many literati came here to study and stayed in the study because they could not let go of the books.
This residence was chosen by Xiao Yeci. She had longed for Yanshazhai for a long time. Seeing the stacks of bookshelves in the library, Xiao Yeci's breathing quickened.
"Mom, you are blushing and sweating."
"Mom loves it here!"
"Mom, let's arrange a place to live first. Brother Tan doesn't seem to be very good at talking."
Tan Fucheng stood at the front desk of the study, his face covered with sweat. Xiao Yeci stepped forward and said politely: "We want ten rooms."
Standing behind the front desk is a young woman with a standard Puzhou girl's hair, which is a short hair style unique to female students.
She is wearing a green and blue gown, which is similar in style to a cheongsam, but is looser than a cheongsam and does not highlight the waist. It is a unique female student uniform in Prozhou.
The woman looked at Xiao Yeci and asked in a low and deep voice: "People are just passers-by in time, why do you have to live here?"
Xiao Yeci answered frankly: "The books here deeply attracted me. I came to study with a pious attitude and wanted to live here longer."
The young woman nodded and said, "There are an upper room, a middle room and a lower room in the study. Which one do you want to choose?"
This time when they came to Moxiang Store, no one’s identity was disclosed, but they were all people with status, so the accommodation conditions couldn’t be too bad.
Xiao Yeci said: "We want to live in an upper room."
The woman asked: "Did you choose to have sex just for pleasure?"
yes! I am here to study, how can I be picky about accommodation?
Xiao Yeci was very ashamed and quickly changed his words: "Then let's live in the middle room."
The woman frowned and said, "Are you changing your housing selection just to pretend to be mediocre?"
Xiao Yeci was a little embarrassed: "Are you asking me to choose the lower house? It's not too good to be in the lower house, right?"
The woman's brows furrowed even tighter: "Are you so greedy for vanity? If it's just for pleasure and vanity, the outside world is so prosperous, why do you come to Moxiang shop, why do you still live in the study?"
Xiao Yeci lowered his head and said with a look of shame, "I was presumptuous..."
"It's not presumptuous, it's just that your intention to study is not pure."
Xiao Yeci felt even more ashamed and nodded repeatedly: "Then we can just stay in the next room."
The woman looked at Xiao Yeci with a disappointed look on her face: "You chose to have sex, are you stingy with money? Or is it an insult to the study?"
"I, I don't have it!" Even Xiao Yeci didn't know what to say now.
"well."
Li Banfeng heard another sigh.
Xiao Yeci was stammering and speechless. Lu Yuanxin glanced at Lu Chunying, and he was ready to use some extraordinary means.
Lu Chunying nodded.
Lu Yuanxin walked to the counter and said to the woman: "Open ten rooms and ask your people to come and pick up the luggage."
The woman looked at Lu Yuanxin and said, "Did you choose to have sex for pleasure or for vanity?"
Lu Yuanxin knocked on the table, and there was a ball on the table.
The woman thought it was an egg at first, but after waiting for a moment, the "egg" suddenly stretched out, revealing its densely packed legs and feet.
It turns out this is not an egg, this is a coiled millipede.
The millipede unfolded its body and crawled slowly on the counter.
The woman exclaimed and took two steps back: "Is this a blasphemy against knowledge or an insult to students?"
"This is my warning to you, I want ten rooms." Lu Yuanxin knocked on the table again, and the millipede crawled onto the woman's face.
The woman quickly opened the room and everyone checked in, but Xiao Yeci was a little sad:
"Nanny, are mom's thoughts really not pure?"
"Mom, you are the purest, don't be like that person!"
At noon, everyone had eaten. Xiao Yeci took Lu Chunying to study in the study room, while Li Banfeng went out to hang out alone.
Moxiangdian has a bustling atmosphere that is not noisy, which is very different from Lushui City.
The streets are not wide, and there are rows of shops, but not a single shop stands outside shouting for business.
If you want to buy something, you must first understand the sign, then understand the quality, and then discuss the price with the shopkeeper.
There are no arguments or noises in the bargaining, it's all about poetic dealings.
"This pen should have a suitable owner. As long as you see my handwriting, you should understand this truth. Its owner is me."
"I believe that you and this pen had a fate in the past life, but if you are still hesitating and entangled for twenty yuan, I think your fate in this life ends here."
This is fairly straightforward, and there are some shops where Li Banfeng can't even read the signs.
For example, in a footwear shop, some people want to go in and wash their feet, but in fact it sells socks.
Take Blowing Flower Pavilion, for example. Some people want to go in and blow on it, but it actually sells toothbrushes and toothpaste. After brushing your teeth, you can smell the scent of flowers when you blow on it.
For example, Lujia Bookstore looks like an ordinary bookstore, but in fact this store also sells old newspapers.
It’s strange, why does Moxiang store also have Lu’s bookstore?
Is this the same name, or is it a branch?
Li Banfeng pushed the door open and entered the bookstore. He found that the store was not big, but the decoration and layout were exactly the same as those of the two bookstores, Lushui City and Yaowanggou.
Boss Lu came up to him: "Boss Li, long time no see!"
The same goes for bosses.
Li Banfeng smiled: "Boss Lu, have you opened a new store?"
Boss Lu shook his head and said: "This is not a new shop. Moxiang shop is my hometown. This is my family's old shop. It's just in time for the Chinese New Year. I'll come back and have a look.
Boss Li, do you still want to buy a newspaper this time? "
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I don't want to buy a newspaper. I want to read a book."
"Please come this way!"
Li Banfeng was a regular visitor, so he naturally read books casually. Boss Lu specially moved a chair and poured tea.
"Boss Li, what kind of book do you want to read?"
"A local book."
Boss Lu pulled out more than a dozen books from the bookshelf and placed them on the table. Li Banfeng read through them one by one and fell in love with one of the books called "Hui Ye Literati".
This is a set of biographies, divided into two volumes, telling the anecdotes in the life of a talented scholar who was connected with wisdom.
This "Huiye Scholar" was born in Moxiangdian. Li Banfeng read other books. In the local literature of Moxiangdian, this Huiye Scholar often appears. In Moxiangdian, this is definitely a A legendary figure.
This man is extremely smart, he can guess other people's intentions in a few words, and he can see the other person's flaws with just a few test sentences. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is also capable of writing and martial arts. He carries a judge's pen, which can write and be used as a weapon. blade.
Li Banfeng bought the first volume, but left the second volume in the bookstore with a seal.
When they arrived at the door to check out, Boss Lu saw that Li Banfeng had only bought the first volume, and quickly ordered the waiter to bring the second volume: "Boss Li, you can't read half of the book. I'll give you the second volume."
Li Banfeng stopped the waiter and said, "You're welcome. I don't buy it not because it's expensive, but because it's too troublesome to carry it with me. I'll buy it again after I finish reading the first volume."
Boss Lu said: "Let me ask one more question, Boss Li, among so many local books, why did you choose this one, "Hui Ye Literati"?"
Li Banfeng said: "Because this book talks about local customs. I just came to Moxiang Store and I'm really not used to this place."
Boss Lu smiled: "Boss Li, don't say you are not used to it. I was born in Moxiangdian. I go out to do business. I come back once every year and a half, but I still feel uncomfortable.
Are you in trouble? "
"I really encountered something." Li Banfeng told the story about Yansha Study, "Boss Lu, does that woman in the study still want to do business? Why is she so difficult for customers?"
Boss Lu said: "Business must be done. If you guys choose to go to the house, she will be happy to make more money.
But she is very happy, and this matter cannot be leaked, otherwise others will think that she smells like copper and has no literary character.
She asks if you guys are greedy for vanity when you choose to go to bed. Just respond by saying that this is your admiration and respect for the study. Even if you say this well,
As a result, you said that you wanted to choose a house instead, but the girl made less money, so she must not be happy. Then you said that you wanted to live in a house, and this business would not be easy. "
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Since you want to do business well, why don't you make it clear from the beginning?"
Boss Lu shook his head and smiled: "This is the rule in Moxiang shop. If you speak too straightforwardly, others will regard you as vulgar."
It seemed that there was a lot to learn here. Li Banfeng took the book and left. There were no other customers in the store. Boss Lu put the book back on the shelf and was about to take a nap when he saw a man wearing a white gown. , a man wearing a white top hat walked in.
"Sir, do you want to buy a book?"
He Jiaqing shook his head and said, "I want some newspapers."
"I don't sell new newspapers."
"Of course I came here to buy old newspapers."
Boss Lu added: "What I sell is not waste paper."
He Jiaqing nodded: "I understand the price."
After buying a few newspapers, He Jiaqing left the bookstore and checked that it was still early. He called a rickshaw and went to Xiaoyaowu. There was a special performance by Jiang Mengting this afternoon.
…
Li Banfeng walked on the street all afternoon and got a general understanding of the layout of Moxiang Store.
This is a city with a large area, criss-crossing streets, distinctive features, antique buildings, a large population, various industries are quite developed, and there are many business opportunities, but as Ma Wu said, to do business here, you must grasp the literati temperament.
For example, if you want to sell groceries, you can call the store Linglong Baobao Pavilion, but if you call it a certain grocery store, you are guaranteed to have no business.
If you want to open a romantic place, the girl must have talents, understand the style, and only when the love is strong can things come naturally. If the love has not yet arrived, the water has arrived first, which is disrespectful to the literati.
There is a poetry club in front.
There are poetry clubs in other places. Poets can form a poetry club by gathering regularly. This is not new in Provence.
But the poetry club in Moxiangdian is different. The poetry club is a kind of shop, a kind of business specializing in blind dates.
Looking at the shop, the poetry club is somewhat similar to the teahouse, but the shop provides the four treasures of the study, arranges men and women to sit opposite each other, and visit friends with poems.
A blond man, who had just written a poem, recited in a clear and melodious voice: "I am willing to gaze into your eyes, I am willing to hold your arms, I am willing to touch your cheek, I am willing to protect your heart, I really love you, the great Moxiangdian!"
The girls present gave comments:
"The words are vulgar!"
"The language is explicit!"
"The voice is hoarse!"
"Vulgar!"
Amid the girls' comments and rolling eyes, Cuitik walked out of the poetry club angrily and happened to meet Li Qi.
Cui Tike was surprised and said, "What a coincidence, I actually met you here?"
Li Banfeng was also surprised: "What are you doing here?"
Cui Tike said, "To learn the culture of Prosperity. Moxiangdian is the cultural pinnacle of Prosperity. I love Moxiangdian."
Li Banfeng said, "Have you changed your tattoo?"
Cui Tike tore open his collar and revealed five big words: "That's inevitable."
"You just changed it casually, aren't you afraid of being seen by your ancestor?"
Cui Tike tied his collar and said, "I'll change it back when he comes."
Li Banfeng looked at the poetry club: "This should be a place for blind dates. Do you want to start a family in Moxiangdian?"
Cui Tike sighed, "I have this intention, but girls in Prosperity don't like foreigners."
As he spoke, a herpes rose on Cui Tike's face.
Li Banfeng took a half step back, and Cui Tike waved his hand to indicate that he had no ill intentions.
The herpes burst, and the green juice turned into a little emerald green man, which flew to Li Banfeng's ear with wings and whispered:
"I have a business to discuss with you." Cui Tike looked at Li Banfeng sincerely.
Li Banfeng pushed up the brim of his hat with his fingers, revealing his eyes, and motioned Cui Tike to continue.
Cui Tike controlled the little green man and said slowly: "Chu Shaoqiang is coming, he wants the land of Moxiangdian,
The ancestor is coming soon, he wants Chu Shaoqiang's life,
One of your good friends is coming too, I have some news about him."
PS: Why did Chu Shaoqiang choose Moxiangdian?
No matter how the world changes, I love my readers the most!
