Chapter 56

three months later.

Crackling, cannon fodder filled the sky in front of a shop on the most prosperous First Street in Shancheng, and the First Street became more prosperous amidst the sound of firecrackers exploding indiscriminately. The firecrackers resounded through the entire street like spring thunder. It also adds a lot of joy to the whole street that makes people smile.

Of course, such a loud noise also woke up a pair of drowsy eyes.

As the sun rises, strands of golden beams of light gradually illuminate the land with a trace of warmth. Under the light of the pale golden sunlight, everything in the world looks more vibrant.A ray of mischievous beams, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, passed through the gray and white cannon fodder to illuminate a plaque with a black background, a gold border, and light green as the main plaque. A handsome and powerful character.

A faint summer breeze blows by, looking at the plaque that is illuminated faintly with green grass, it seems that people can smell the pure natural sweet grass smell mixed with fresh soil, which makes people feel uncomfortable Consciously upturned, the mood is also incomparably carefree and peaceful.

"Jingmingxuan" is a newly opened tea house on the street, located in the middle and back of the whole street, it is not one of the busiest shops.The whole teahouse is divided into upper and lower floors, and the first floor is about [-] square meters.

It is divided into two parts, one part is based on a small square table plus four tatami mats, surrounded by screens made of gauze paintings and green bamboo to isolate external interference, while the other part is It is dominated by mahogany round tables and square stools, surrounded by rice paper paintings and screens made of green bamboo.The second floor is for guests with special needs.

The inside is a milky white long skirt, and a light green gauze skirt is on the outside. The slender and tall woman stands gracefully in front of the teahouse door, with a pair of bright wrists covered by the gauze, a bun on her head and a bright moon behind her ears. Beads, white jade hairpin inserted obliquely, the same color skirt tied up the slender waist, under a pair of crescent eyebrows is a pair of big eyes with sparkling water, the long eyelashes flicker like fans, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, There is a different style in his smile and dimple.

When people couldn't help but look into the true face of Mount Lu, they saw only a light green veil covering the imaginative face, which made people cry out and feel disappointed.

"Thank you all the neighbors and neighbors for your support, everyone please, our Jingming Restaurant is open today, and we will provide you with free refreshments for a day, everyone please." Just as everyone was feeling emotional, the voice of the woman in green attracted the attention again. Everyone's attention, but the voice is not as clear and elegant as the woman's attire, it's a bit deep and hoarse, even so, there is an inexplicable energy in this slightly low and hoarse voice, It makes people's hearts itch.

After finishing speaking, everyone withdrew their ecstatic eyes from looking at the woman, and rushed in like a file.

Although there are many people, the teahouse is not crowded and chaotic. Everyone seems to be affected by this elegant environment. They usually speak and act rudely after entering the teahouse. The floor under his feet was covered, so there are many people in the teahouse, but it looks orderly.

"Brother, younger brother, why is the teahouse across the street different from the ones you usually see? But do you know who the owner of this newly opened teahouse is? Do you have such a good brain?"

"It seems to be opened by a business that moved from outside." The passer-by smiled naively, his wrinkled and black and yellow face was full of joy, and everyone liked to join in the fun.

The man glanced at the little brother who had figured it out, and said with a smile: "Have you ever drank high-quality fragrant tea, little brother? If not, let's go up and get some."

After finishing speaking, the two people who didn't know each other a moment ago left with their shoulders crossed.

After the woman in the teahouse asked the waiter to entertain the guests, she went up to the wing room on the second floor.

As soon as I opened the door and entered, I saw a light blue figure sitting in front of the mahogany table.

"It's really still holding the pipa and half covering the face, this appearance is really seductive!" On the man's evil handsome face, there is an attractive evil smile, just a smile can make people blush and heartbeat.

That woman, Ning Erlan, the third lady of the Ning Mansion, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised under the veil, gave Guan Furan a flirty glance and said softly, "Sister, if I move faster, I will be preempted." Is it on?"

After finishing speaking, he sat down, Guan Furan poured her a cup of tea and said: "By the way, don't you want to open a medical clinic? Why are you opening a teahouse again?" Guan Furan returned to the hospital half a month ago When he arrived in Shancheng, although he said he came to see her, Ning Erlan knew that he must have other things to do.

Still, she was happy to have her friends where she could see them.The reason why she said that just now is because she only found out a few days ago that in the eyes of the people in the imperial city, this Second Young Master Guan, who is basically a dandy, actually secretly runs many shops, and his net worth has reached a level that she can't even look up. up.

And she didn't open the teahouse just to make money. Teahouses have been a good place to collect information since ancient times. If it doesn't open now, when will it be?

"Because, I like to drink tea..." Picking up the tea on the table, Ning Erlan took a sip carefully, leaving the fragrance in her teeth, good tea.

The corners of Guan Furan's eyes twitched violently. "It's really a reason to make people happy!"

"But if you come out and hang around like this, those in your house won't say anything?" He had a deep understanding of the skills of those women in the backyard.

"Sister, does she seem to be someone who can be easily caught up in the conversation?" Ning Erlan squinted.

"Yes, I'm here to tell you today that I may have to leave temporarily in two days."

Hearing this, Ning Erlan raised her head. "Where are you going?"

"There are some things to deal with in the northwest, and I may not be able to come back for a month or two. You know, the traffic here is not convenient." Guan Furan shrugged helplessly. He felt that he wanted to ride a horse for so many days. A dull pain in the lower hip...

Seeing his expression, Ning Erlan glanced at his crotch lightly as if realizing something.

Guan Furan's veins burst from seeing her expression. "That look in your eyes, do you want to try my powerful masculinity!"

Ning Erlan shook her head violently, with a look of avoiding it. "You keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly."

After handing over the teahouse to the people below, the two came to the bustling street.

"Although Shancheng is not as prosperous as the imperial city, it is not worse." Guan Furan said loudly with a casual smile on his face, shaking his folding fan lightly.

Ning Erlan's eyes flicked across the folding fan, although it is spring, it is not yet hot enough to need a folding fan. As expected, a folding fan is a must-have weapon for a young master to look handsome.

"Go away, go away, where are there so many beggars, get out, don't get in the way of my business." When they entered a restaurant with a lot of customers, a pair of ragged beggars were driven away by the shopkeeper come out.

"Master, I beg you to give me some food. We haven't eaten for several days. My wife is starving." The man among the beggars knelt down in front of the restaurant desperately, and kept giving food to the shopkeeper. kowtow.

"Damn it, bah bah, it's really bad luck. If you don't get out, you'll be beaten!" The shopkeeper walked into the restaurant with a vicious look on his face, shaking his sleeves in disgust.

The beggar man was helpless when he saw that he couldn't ask for anything, and his dirty and unrecognizable face was full of helplessness.He stepped forward and helped his wife up, ready to go to the next house.

"It's just a matter of a few buns, the shopkeeper, hey..." Guan Furan shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Looking back, she found that Ning Erlan was still staring at the beggar couple, thinking that her sympathy was overflowing, so she ordered the people around her to buy some steamed buns.

"Give me the steamed bun." Ning Erlan took the steamed bun from the servant and walked towards the beggar couple squatting on the street corner.

"Your wife looks weak, here are steamed buns, eat them quickly."

The beggar couple kowtowed to thank a kind-hearted person who gave them steamed buns.

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor."

"You don't need to thank me, I'm just wondering why there are so many refugees in Shancheng? Where are you from?" She noticed immediately outside these days that there were indeed beggars in Shancheng, but Because Shancheng is still rich in products, there are not many beggars.

But on the streets today, if you look around, you can see a bunch of beggars in twos and threes, and their accents are not locals from Shancheng.

"We are villagers in a village a hundred miles east of Shancheng, but now that village can no longer be lived in, we have no choice but to leave our hometown and come to Shancheng." The beggar man looked sad , Thinking of the current tragedy in his hometown, he couldn't help but wet his eyes.Even my mother...

"What happened in the village?" Knowing that Ning Erlan would not ask such a question for no reason, Guan Furan also stepped forward to ask.

Hearing Guan Furan's question, the man's eyes revealed a look of fear. "The village, the people in the village were condemned by the gods because they offended the gods, and they got strange diseases, and died one by one... We were afraid, so, we escaped..."

Although both Ning Erlan and Guan Furan came from time travel, they never believed in ghosts and gods.

Two words flashed in Ning Erlan's mind, plague!

"Are there any other villages around your village?" The plague is extremely contagious, if...

"Yes, there is a river in our section, and there are villages down the long river, all the way to Mingcheng."

"Has the government arranged for you refugees?" Ning Erlan had a faint premonition in his heart.

The beggar man shook his head.

"Perhaps tell me, what are the symptoms of those who are sick?"

The man didn't understand why Ning Erlan asked such a question, but he answered truthfully. "They will have red pimples on their bodies, which are very itchy. When someone scratches their skin, the pimples will fall off together with the skin. Also, the whole body is hot..."

Ning Erlan nodded after listening.And told them to go to an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, where people gave porridge every day.

"What are you thinking?" Guan Furan looked at the calm Ning Erlan and asked.There was still a smile on his face, but there was no looseness in his eyes.

Ning Erlan looked up at an unknown direction ahead and whispered, "I have a premonition that my chic days will be gone..."
