At this time, the lady-like person said: "My child, our family is Luo's family." Then he pointed to the male host next to him, and said, "This is my master." Then he pointed to Master Diaoqiu and his side. The girl said, "This is my son Wenzheng and daughter Qiaoer. If you want, just be Wenzheng's book boy, we can promise you what you want." After speaking, I looked at Xinyuan and waited for him to reply.

Xinyuan felt that the family was pretty good, so he said: "I don't have any requirements. I know this boy, and he is there to serve the young master."

Master Luo laughed and said, "Well, you will live in our house from today, and someone will take you to the place to live in a while." Then he called "Sister Zhang", and more than 40 people came in outside. The old servant woman, Master Luo said: "Take this child to live with you."

Sister Zhang responded, and left with her heart. When Xin Yuan walked out, he felt Qiao'er still smiling, which made him a little embarrassed.

Sister Zhang is an old servant of the Luo family and has served the master and his wife for more than 20 years. When she was fifteen years old, her two younger brothers starved to death due to a famine in the family, and their survival was unsustainable, so her parents sold her to the Luo family as a maid. At that time, Master Luo was still a young master, and Mrs. Luo was also a young grandmother. Later Master Luo became home. Auntie Zhang watched the young master Wenzheng and Miss Qiaoer grow up. She has never married for life. In her eyes, the young master and the young lady are just like her own children.

Xinyuan's house is next door to Young Master Wenzheng. Because he is the young master's book boy, he can enjoy the treatment of one person and one house. The Luo family was a scholarly family. His ancestors served as officials in the court for several generations. But then he was persecuted by Jinyiwei and Dongchang. The ministers of the DPRK and China were killed and wounded. Most of the officials who were officials in the DPRK were killed and their families were destroyed. So the ancestors of the Luo family resigned and became merchants. All these were told by Auntie Zhang to Xinyuan, and Auntie Zhang also knew a lot about the Luo family. Xinyuan has been a schoolboy in Luo's family for two years, and she can meet Zhang's wife every day. So what Zhang's wife knew, Xinyuan also gradually learned.

For the past two years, the young master Wenzheng has gone to Shaolin Temple every day to learn martial arts with Master Fang Jing. Of course, Xinyuan also learned a lot. Xinyuan was originally a disciple of Shaolin Temple, he learned Shaolin martial arts much easier than outsiders, so Qiao'er needs a few days to practice the moves, he can just take a look. When nothing happened, Xinyuan always went to the "Fengyuelou" to drink with the martial artists of the nursing home. Although the martial arts of those martial arts guards are not very good, they are diverse, from all sects. Xinyuan has been with them for a long time, and his martial arts vision has broadened a lot, and he has also learned a lot about the Taiji Gong taught by Lao Motou. Especially in recent times, he has become more and more handy when he makes random combinations of tricks.

In the past two years, the people of the Luo family have treated Xinyuan very well. Since Xinyuan is a disciple of Abbot Huiming, Master Luo treats him very seriously. Especially Wenzheng and Qiaoer, the three people are about the same age, and they work well together. Although Xinyuan is nominally Wenzheng's book boy, in fact it is more like a friend who is staying at Luo's house. The three of them often go out together to help with business.

It was summer again in a blink of an eye. This evening, when the sun just set on the top of the mountain, when the western sky was red, Qiaoer suddenly rushed into Xinyuan’s room and said to Xinyuan, who was lying on the bed and looking at the roof in a daze, "Xinyuan, my brother said to be idle. It's okay, ask if you want to go out for a stroll?"

Xinyuan was still lying motionless, and said, "Go out? When?" He was used to Qiao'er's sudden attack. He remembered that the first time he was reading a collection of poems by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, Qiao'er suddenly didn't knock. The door rushed in, and he dropped the book to the ground in a panic. Later, I experienced many things like this, and I realized that the Luo family’s eldest lady was very active or quiet. She was by no means a twitchy lady, but more like a naughty boy, although she was about the same age as Xin Yuan. But his life experience is far from far-sighted, and he does things like a child.

Qiaoer said: "Now, it's now. Anyway, you're fine, just go together."

Xin Yuan said: "Well, you go first, I'll come right away."

Qiaoer blinked and asked: "What are you doing? I want to wait for you to go together."

Feeling far helpless, I had to say: "Okay, please wait and wait." After speaking, slowly got up and got out of bed, and said: "You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, and rushing to the sea without returning. You don't see Gaotang Mingjing Sad and white hair, the morning is like a blue silk in the evening into snow. You must be happy in life, don’t make the golden bottle empty to the moon. **************, the daughter will come back after all the money is gone. Cooking the sheep Bulls are happy, they have to drink three hundred cups..."

Qiaoer didn't know Li Bai's poem "I will enter the wine", and didn't know what Xinyuan was talking about. She looked at him strangely and asked, "What are you talking about?"

After reading the last sentence of the poem, Xin Yuan said slowly: "Li Bai's will be drinking, haven't you heard it." After speaking, he laughed.

Qiaoer said: "Li Bai still has such a poem? I haven't heard it, I haven't heard it, hurry up, my brother is still waiting!"

Xinyuan put on his shoes and said, "Let's go!" The two went out together.

When Xinyuan and Qiaoer went out, Wenzheng was already waiting for them. Seeing the two came out, Wenzheng said: "Xinyuan, let's go out for a stroll. I heard that there is another tavern opposite "Fengyuelou". Let's go and see. go."

After Wen Zheng finished speaking, Qiao'er had already clapped his hands in applause, and his face was full of laughter. Xinyuan said, "It just happens that I have something to tell you, so let's just walk and talk."

In Fengyuelou, not far from Luo's house, the three of them patted together, and it was half an hour away. Qiaoer looked at the newly opened restaurant opposite Fengyue Tower, looked up at the signboard, and said: "Ke Laimman? That's a good name."

Wen Zhengdao: "The merchants in ancient times used it all, of course it's good." After finishing speaking, he walked in first.

Upon seeing the three well-dressed guests coming in, Xiao Er in the shop hurriedly greeted them, bowed their heads and said, "What do the three nobles want to order? Please upstairs! Please upstairs!"

The three of them went upstairs and sat down at the only table left at the entrance of the corridor. Wen Zhengdao: "Xiao Er, what is the most famous wine and dish in your store? Please report the name and we want to try it."

Xiao Er immediately said: "Hui Ye, there are some on the opposite side, we have them in our store, and those on the other side, we also have them in our store, but if you want to talk about our signature dishes, three people may have never heard of them. , The taste is pure, this is the only one in Henan Province."

Qiao Er didn't know what "dragon beard and phoenix claws" was. She was curious. Before Wen Zheng asked, she rushed to ask: "What is dragon beard and phoenix claws? Is it a dish made from dragon beard and phoenix claws?" "

Xiao Er said: "Returning to this eldest lady, there are no dragons and phoenixes in this world. Even if there are, I dare not use them for cooking. Even if they are used for cooking, no one can afford to eat..."

Qiao'er was impatient when he saw that he hadn’t talked about the topic for a long time. He slapped the table and said: "Xiao Er, you are so courageous. Let the emperor know, do you think your head can still grow on your neck?"

Xiao Er originally wanted to brag a few more words, sold it for a while, and couldn't help but get a big jump after hearing this sentence, and quickly said, "No, no, no, we took the whiskers of the live carp and the live chicken under the palm of the chicken. The meat cooks, miss you, please don't talk nonsense." While talking, Xiao Er looked around carefully, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
