The next day, early in the morning, Lu Zheng was awakened by the crow of chickens outside the door.
"What's going on?"
"Master, there is a man outside the door, carrying two old hens, saying that they were sent here on the order of Mr. Wai, the king of the north of the city. ”
Lu Zheng put on his middle coat and went out, and saw Uncle Li coming to the backyard to report.
"Old Wang is very polite, I will start delivering them today." Lu Zheng whispered, then nodded and said, "I understand, accept it."
"By the way, from time to time, people may send some chickens, just accept them." Lu Zheng reminded.
"Yes, I got it!" Uncle Li turned around and responded. He probably had some idea in his mind, so he went out to pick up the old hen, and then rewarded the man with a few pennies.
"Keep one at home and send the other to the Liu family." Lu Zheng said, then went out and drove to Lepinglou.
Sure enough...
"Mr. Lu, please morning!" Mr. Wang also came to Leping Building
"Mr. Wang, please morning!" Lu Zheng smiled and said to take care of him, "Thank you so much, I will have no shortage of chickens in the future." , That’s Wang’s honor!” Mr. Wang said with a smile.
Several regular customers nearby were a little confused. In the past, Mr. Lu and Mr. Wang were seated very far away from each other. Why did they suddenly become familiar with each other?
However, judging from the attitude of the two people talking just now, it seems that Mr. Wang has received a favor from someone else. However, if he didn’t tell others, it would be hard for him and others to inquire randomly, so he came up to say hello. , and then each sat down.
Mr. Wang sat beside Lu Zheng in a familiar manner and asked the waiter for fragrant tea and snacks.
Lu Zheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appearing in Leping Building yesterday.
Lu Zheng saw him, and he also saw Lu Zheng. He nodded and was led to a seat behind Lu Zheng by the waiter.
Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed, he turned sideways, smiled and asked, "I have seen this gentleman, Lu Zheng. What do you call him?"
That The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't dare, don't dare. How can I be called a gentleman? My surname is Fan, Fan Boyu."
Lu Zheng asked with a slight smile, "Mr. Fan looked nervous. , did you just move to Tonglin County? Or did you accompany your family to the county to take the exam?"
"No, I'm running some traveling business. I don't have rheumatism, so I'm going to stay in Tonglin County for half a month to recuperate." Fan Boyu smiled, and then added, "Master Lu is very familiar with several doctors from Renxintang. ?”
Lu Zheng nodded, “We are all neighbors.”
Fan Boyu nodded and smiled, “Neighbors should help each other.”
Mr. Wang looked at this side, his eyes flashed, and he answered with a smile, "I don't know what kind of business Mr. Fan is doing. Why don't you tell me about it? I am also a businessman. Let's see if we can cooperate?"
Fan Boyu was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately said, "I just run some mountain product business. I do a lot of miscellaneous things. I make some medicinal materials, furs, game, etc., but the quantity is not large, just scattered. Sold."
"Oh?" Lu Zheng smiled, "This business has to rely on mountains. Mr. Fan should be from near the Lingshan Mountains, right? I wonder if he is from Rongzhou. Or is it the surname of Lingnan Taoist?"
"Rongzhou Linling County." Fan Boyu said with a smile.
"Oh? What a coincidence, I have been to Linling County several times, and the delicacies and game in Shanlou in the county are outstanding." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
Fan Boyu nodded, "The most famous one is a Braised Baiwei dish, which is mixed with more than a dozen kinds of game delicacies such as pig, deer, tiger, and dog. It is Kanshanlou's signature dish."
Mr. Wang continued, “I went there once ten years ago, but I don’t know that the most famous one on the street in Linling County is still the Luoxia Tower in Nanjiefang City?”
Fan Boyu shook his head, "No, the largest brothel now is called Fengqi Pavilion."
After a pause, Fan Boyu smiled and said, "The old man may have remembered wrongly, Luoxia Pavilion is not there. Nanjie Fang City, on North Street."
Mr. Wang patted his forehead outside and said, "I'm really old, my memory is bad."
After finishing his words, Lepinglou asked The storyteller came in from behind the curtain.
A row of gavel trees, sipping a sip of fragrant tea.
"The book follows yesterday, but it says that the romantic and talented Wang said goodbye to the talented Qin Hongyu, who went to Beijing to take the exam. On this day, I was walking on the official road and happened to come to a mountain temple..."
The storyteller was speaking on the stage, and everyone was listening in the audience. They drank tea and had snacks from time to time, which was very comfortable.
"Wu that storyteller, you said that the female ghost ate all the passers-by and was so cruel, yet you felt pity for a hare on the roadside. This is not nonsense. Really?" A man in the audience interrupted.
"Otherwise." The storyteller shook his head, "The female ghost is cruel to people because she was killed by others, and she pities the hare naturally because of her nature.not bad. "
"Then since she is cruel to people, why didn't she kill Wang Haoran? "
"Of course it was because Wang Sheng also felt pity for the hare, which made her love the house as much as the hare. "The storyteller explained again, and then continued.
Fan Boyu nodded, "It's rare, this story is good, it's rare to have a character who is both good and evil, neither good nor bad. ”
In ordinary stories, the characters are mostly facial makeup, which is easy to understand and easy to substitute. This story rarely creates a female ghost who is ruthless and soft-hearted in some aspects, which is eye-catching.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but twitching his lips, "This "The Story of Two Sisters" is so famous. How come Mr. Fan has never heard of it before? "
Fan Boyu's expression paused, and then his expression remained unchanged. He just smiled and said, "I used to be so busy running business that I really didn't have time to listen to books. Now I have rheumatism and I can't run anymore, so I Have some free time to wander around and listen to books. "
"From what Dr. Du said, the rheumatism in Mr. Fan's legs is actually still in its early stages. Not to mention that it affects walking, running and jumping, the symptoms are not obvious even on rainy days. Lu Zheng asked, "It seems that Mr. Fan's family is quite prosperous, but he just had some symptoms and stopped completely?" "
Fan Boyu took a breath and said, "The main reason is that I am tired from running for so many years and have accumulated some wealth, so I am not in a hurry. "
"That's it..."
Lu Zheng nodded and looked at Fan Boyu, and Fan Boyu also looked back at Lu Zheng.
On the stage The storyteller was in full swing, but the two of them were speechless for a moment, and the aura around them was a little solid. Mr. Wang swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but lean a little closer.
"You..." Fan Boyu He narrowed his eyes and cheered up deeply.
"It turns out that our family is really well-off. You must have some thoughts about Doctor Du, right? "
Lu Zheng frowned and said coldly, "I am twenty-eight years old, as beautiful as a flower, and my family is not short of money, so I will not leave my hometown and go to Rongzhou for yellow and white things. ”
Fan Boyu:???
