"It will be ready soon."

"Xiaoer, let me have a bowl of hot tea, a big bowl, and a plate of fried rice crackers."

"Little Er, come..."

Crowd in the teahouse

The tenant farmers from Luoyueyuan, the security team of Yinyuegang, the free people of Yinyuegang, the Sinicized Jianren, servants and maids of the Wang family, soldiers of the Wang family, artisans of the Wang family, etc. gathered in this small teahouse.

Hot tofu was invented by Liu An, king of Huainan, and it has been introduced to Liaodong and is loved by the people of Yinyuegang.

Fried rice crackers are a kind of snack that sticks many grains of corn together after frying the corn.

Although the tenant farmers didn't have much surplus food, fortunately Luoyueyuan had less people and more land. Although the Wang family rented seven floors of tenants, the tenants could barely fill their stomachs with the remaining three floors due to the large amount of arable land. He will go hunting in the mountains and forests, sell wild animals at low prices to the Wang family, and save a little money to spend in Yinyuegang.

"Hey, have you heard that the Xu family in Xuxiang County, Donglai County was wiped out by the court?"

Discussing current affairs and women has been a constant topic for men since ancient times, no matter what class they are in, even after thousands of years.

A construction craftsman in Yinyuegang gulped down a bowl of hot tea, then picked up a fried rice cracker with two fingers, put the fried rice cracker in his mouth and chewed it a few times, but he couldn't bear to swallow it in one go. After a while, the fried rice cracker The fruit was chewed until it lost its taste, so he swallowed it and told the rough men around him about Xu Xiang.

"Hehe, I said Laoguan, you have never been to Xu Township, how do you know about Xu Township?" A fisherman on the side smiled slyly, and then walked along with some fried rice crackers on the plate of the construction craftsman while talking, Put it in your mouth and chew.

"Made, you are the most shameless boy, if you want to eat fried rice crackers, buy them yourself!" The construction craftsman called Laoguan cursed, but he didn't really stop the young fisherman from eating the fried rice crackers on his plate.

"Boss Guan, are you bragging again? Haha!" At this moment, another straw shoemaker entered the teahouse carrying a load of straw sandals. Hearing what Lao Guan said just after entering the teahouse, he subconsciously laughed at the other party, and then The bag of straw sandals was placed in a corner beside him, and then he also knelt on the tattered straw mat and shouted to the waiter in the teahouse, "Bring me a bowl of hot tea too, a big one, and a big bowl of hot tofu by the way."

"Okay!" Xiao Er agreed, and then ordered to the chef inside: "A big bowl of hot tofu."

"Hey! Good guy, you old Liu has also started to eat hot tofu. Does this mean that straw sandals have developed?" The young fisherman who was eating fried rice crackers was also a little surprised, and couldn't help winking at the straw sandal maker: "I said, old Liu , let me try the taste of hot tofu later, I don’t know what it tastes like yet.”

"Go away! You are the poorest, you are the poorest, eat and drink every day, among us, you are the richest, I heard that you have saved a lot of money, I don't understand, you You save so much money and don’t want to spend it, what are you going to do, don’t you really plan to marry that Zhu’er?” Cao Xie Liu cursed and then blew on the hot tea he just brought.

The Pearl he was talking about was a pure-looking girl who was originally a maid of the Wang family. Because the Wang family wanted to promote thrift, Pearl was unfortunately eliminated and became a free citizen of Silvermoon Harbor from a maid of the Wang family.

But Zhu'er didn't have any skills, and after becoming a free citizen, she couldn't support herself, so she had to become a prostitute, earning money to support herself by providing special services to those men in Silver Moon Harbor who had some spare money every day.

Such a woman, even though Cao Xie Liu is a bachelor, still looks down on her.

But that Hunyu Zhang, since spending money with Zhu'er once, has been fascinated and started saving money to marry Zhu'er as his wife.

"You don't understand." Hun Yuzhang shook his head, eyes full of admiration for the strange girl.

"You know, you know best when riding a horse! Let's do it!" Cao Xie Liu didn't bother to persuade, and took a big mouthful of hot tea.

"Here comes your hot tofu!" At this time, Xiao Er brought a large bowl of hot tofu.

"Haha!" Cao Xie Liu was very happy when he smelled the sweet smell of hot tofu. He never thought of saving money to marry a wife, so he didn't bother to save money. Instead, he lived a good life and could come to this teahouse to eat a bowl of hot tofu every few days. Tofu, even every one or two months, you can go to the maidservants who were eliminated by the Liaodong Wang family for special service.

After eating a piece of hot tofu, Cao Xie Liu glanced at Hunyu Zhang who was drooling, reluctantly took a small piece of hot tofu for him to eat, and then asked Lao Guan: "I said Boss Guan, what did you say just now?" What is it that the Xu family in Xu Township was wiped out by the court? Is this true?"

It's not just women who gossip, men gossip too.

When Cao Xie Liu asked, Hunyu Zhang also looked at Lao Guan.

"Oh! What did I lie to you for? The grandniece of my seventh aunt and eighth aunt is Wang Ruojiao Shaojun... a maid next to her. When she followed Wang Yaojiao to Xu Township, she saw with her own eyes that Xu's manor was destroyed by several people. Surrounded by thousands of heavenly soldiers from the imperial court, the Xu family was all..."

What Lao Guan said was impressive, and the rest of the people were also aroused. Even the other people who were kneeling and drinking tea couldn't help turning their heads to look at Lao Guan.

"What happened to everyone?"

"Don't talk halfway while riding the horse!"

"Boss Guan, it's a pity that you don't become a storyteller."

Everyone can't wait to know the next story.

Under the expectation of everyone, Lao Guan put his palms across his neck, pretending to be a scary grimace, and said: "Everyone was wiped! Hands up and down with knives, hands up and down with knives! Officers and soldiers cut from the south gate to the north gate, and from From the east gate to the west gate, without blinking an eye!"

"Cheat you!"

"Hehe, who doesn't know that the Xu family and the county magistrate of Xu Township wear a pair of trousers, how could the Xu family be wiped out by the court?"

Everyone booed and mocked, not believing it at all.

"I'm serious, the Xu family was really wiped out by the court, and the whole family was crushed!" Lao Guan pouted, very dissatisfied.

At this moment, a young man walked in.

"Hey, hey, I said Agui, you're here to eat and drink again, keep rolling!"

As soon as the young man came in, the restaurant owner stopped him and wanted to drive him out.

"I'm not here to eat and drink. I'm rich. Give me a bowl of tea." The young man named Agui took out a few copper coins from his trouser pocket, put them in the palm of the owner of the teahouse, and covered his face. It's all smiles.

"Yo ho, you, Gui, are able to prosper, and the sun is coming out from the west." The host shook the copper plate in his hand, and then ordered to Xiaoer: "Give us 'Master Gui' a bowl of tea, a big one. "

"Okay!" Xiao Er hurriedly poured tea.

This young man called Agui was the one who went to the Wang family's house to seek out relatives, but was thrown out by the Wang family's servants, and finally discovered the strangeness of Miss Wang Chaoge.

His surname is Wang, he is famous, everyone calls him Agui.

The proud Agui also knelt on the straw mat at Lao Guan's table, and asked Lao Guan, "Boss Guan, what did you just say? The Xu family in Xu Township was wiped out by the court? Is it true?"

"Then can there be a fake?" Old Guan just described the Xu family's destruction of the family again.

After listening to Lao Guan's description, Agui began to fantasize in his heart, and he stood up straight up in joy, stepped on the table with one foot and laughed, and sang in a playful voice: "Haha! I am Wang Gui, an officer and soldier of the Han Dynasty! Watch me lead the court heavenly soldiers to destroy this Liaodong royal family!"

"Are you crazy?" Straw sandal Liu, who was eating hot tofu, cursed, and advised Agui, "Go away, don't spill blood on me!"

"Ah Gui, shut up quickly, don't act dead!" Although Lao Guan liked to discuss current affairs, he did not dare to say such things.

"Just say that I'm not so majestic!" Agui was still triumphant.

However, at this time, the owner of the teahouse also sensed that something was wrong, and hurried over to Lao Guan and others to persuade him: "Everyone, please take a look at the four words on the door."

Lao Guan and the others looked around and saw four large characters "Don't talk about political affairs" written on a piece of linen.

Among the people present, only Cao Xie Liu knew a few words, so he read these four words to everyone: "Don't talk about political affairs."

"Sorry." Lao Guan and the others apologized, not daring to talk about the Xu family's annihilation, let alone say such outrageous words as "destroying the Wang family".

Even Agui, who was at the side, shut his mouth helplessly after seeing that no one dared to continue talking about it, and drank tea obediently.

"Fortunately, the servants of the royal family who drank tea here just now left long ago, otherwise you would be dead." Hun Yuzhang shook his head at Agui, then picked up some fried rice crackers and began to eat.
