Flowers are expensive

Chapter 289 Longquan Station

"Master," Zhao Xun looked at Yuan Yin with a tragic face, and said in a trembling voice, "No...no pulse..."

"What?" These words hit Yuan Yin's head like a bolt from the blue, and instantly petrified!

"No pulse...Master...these two poisons mixed together are too powerful..."

"Get out!" Yuan Yin slapped Zhao Xun on the face with his backhand.

Zhao Xun fell to the ground on his back, quickly got up again, knelt in front of Yuan Yin and said, "Master, madam really...really gone!"

"No!" Yuan Yin pointed at him and shouted, "Go, get Qiao Yuan! If she can't save Lihua, I'll let them be buried with the whole Qingyue Hall!"

"Master," Zhao Xun knelt on the ground sadly and said, "Madame really has no pulse! Baiyexiang is originally the poison in the ecstasy incense, and the poison of Guan's is very strange. If Qiao Yuan can relieve , I’m afraid I’ve figured it out a long time ago, why is this! Master... Madam... Madam has really gone!"

"No..." Yuan Yin looked down at Lihua who had closed her eyes in her arms, and tears rolled down involuntarily, "She won't die...how could she die? You are so useless! Yes, it is you It's useless! I'll go find someone else!"

"Master, it's too dangerous to go out at this time!"

Regardless of Zhaoxun's dissuasion, Yuanyin picked up Lihua and walked out!He finally understood at this moment that no matter who Li Hua was, she was his!Those so-called memories and the so-called past are all misty, he has to let Lihua live, give birth to many children for him, and accompany him until he grows old, he must live!

As soon as he stepped down the steps, a black shadow in mid-air danced a long sword and landed, shouting angrily, "Zhao Yuanyin, where are you going!"

Yuan Yin hugged the pear blossom and took two steps back to hide.When the black shadow fell to the ground, he saw clearly that it was Qing Yi!When Qing Yi saw the bloodless pear flower in Yuan Yin's arms, he was stunned immediately, and couldn't even lift the sword in his hand!He widened his eyes, looked at Lihua and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Get out!" Yuan Yin exerted all his strength, raised his foot and kicked Qing Yi's abdomen, and then walked quickly outside the palace.

Qing Yi lay on the ground, struggling to get up, when he was about to catch up, Qiao Yuan grabbed him from behind and said, "Let's go! It's too late if you don't go!"

"What happened to Pear Blossom?" Qing Yi asked anxiously.

Qiao Yuan bit her lower lip, shook her head lightly and said, "It's hopeless..."

"What?" Qing Yi shook off Qiao Yuan's hand, trying to catch up with Yuan Yin to see what happened.Qiao Yuan blocked him and shouted: "She has already gone! If you don't leave, do you want to stay here with your life?"

"How is it possible!" Qing Yi yelled at Qiao Yuan, "It's so good, why did it go!"

"It's Baiyexiang, and Grandma Guan's poison, the two kinds of poison are mixed together..." Qiao Yuan said sadly, "She has no pulse... Let's go, Qing Yi! If you don't leave, everyone will be wasting their time in vain Already!"

"I won't go, I have to go and see Lihua! She should be saved, and saved!" Qing Yi's eyes were red, she pushed Qiao Yuan away, and ran down the rockery.But just after he ran a few steps, Qiao Yuan decisively knocked him unconscious to the ground, and ordered the man in black next to him to say, "Take the young master and go!"

"Yes!"

The two men in black framed Qingyi and quickly disappeared into the night.Qiao Yuan turned around and glanced at Zhaoxun's room, picked up the long sword on the ground, and quickly joined the fight... Half a year later...

The summer in June is cool. In this peaceful place, no matter how hot the sun is, you can still find a small stall selling herbal tea on the street. A bowl of herbal tea costs two cents, which is the most rare thing to cool your throat.

"Master, why don't you rest your feet? The sun is too big today!" said Axiu, touching the top of his hot head.

"Just ahead!" Qing Yi pointed to a herbal tea stall in front.The master and servant stepped forward to sit down, and the stall owner enthusiastically poured two cups of gardenia ice sugar tea.Qing Yi glanced at the quaint town in front of him, took a sip of tea and said, "This place is really nice, no wonder Lihua said she wanted to come and have a look."

"Master..."

"Okay, I know what you're going to say." Qing Yi sat silently under the big banyan tree, looking at the little yellow ducks huddling together in the puddle to drink water, with a very lonely expression.

During the six months since Lihua passed away, he never went back to Qingyue Hall, and took Axiu around.One day he suddenly remembered that Lihua had said that he wanted to visit Longquanyi, so he came.

"Master, when shall we go back?" Ah Xiu asked beside him.

"Are you in a hurry to go back and marry a wife?"

"That's not what it means... We've been out for more than half a year, you can't help but go back?"

Qing Yi didn't answer, and silently took a sip of tea.He understood that he had been evading all this time, evading the fact that if Qingchuan Ranch and Qingyuetang hadn't attacked Youwang Mansion last time, Lihua would not have died.In the past six months, Zhao Yuanyin almost destroyed all the strongholds of Qingyue Hall, forcing all the transactions and actions of Qingyue Hall to be unable to proceed normally.

He knew that Zhao Yuanyin was crazy, but who knew that he was almost crazy too.On the day of Lihua's funeral, he was standing outside the city gate. It was raining heavily, but not as much as his tears.If possible, he would rather die in the hands of Zhao Yuanyin in exchange for Lihua's life.What Zhao Yuanyin lost, he also lost forever.

He didn't want to go back to Qingyue Hall because he didn't want to face the father who wanted to save himself but killed Lihua.In other words, he was unable to face pear blossoms because he died.

While he was meditating, a young man with bare arms came beside him. He ran to the booth covered in sweat, picked up a bowl of herbal tea, drank it down, and then threw away two pennies and turned to leave.

The stall owner stopped him and asked, "What's the rush? The dog is here?"

"What nonsense! I'm rushing to listen to the book, and I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stand if it's too late."

"Is it the storyteller in Qiong's invitation hall? Is it really that good?"

"It sounds good! It's more refreshing than your herbal tea after listening to it! Don't talk about it, I'm going to occupy my seat!"

After the young man ran away in a hurry, Qing Yi curiously asked the stall owner: "Is there any storyteller here?"

"Not long ago, the goddaughter of Xiang's family started to tell stories in Qiong's invitation hall. I heard that it sounds very good! It's a pity that I guard this booth and don't have time to listen."

Qing Yi smiled faintly, stood up and said: "Axiu, pay the bill!" After paying the bill, Axiu chased after him and asked, "Young master, do you want to listen to books too? Storytelling in the countryside is not very interesting!"

"I heard that the food in the Joan Invitation Hall is good, let's try it by the way."

The Joan Invitation Hall at this hour is busier than the sun outside.Many people hurried to the Qiong Yao Pavilion.Those who ran behind shouted to those who ran in front: "Help me get a seat! I'll treat you to tea later!"

"Is it so lively?" Axiu looked at those people in a hurry in puzzlement.

"You'll know if you go to see it."

The two of them followed the flow of people to the front of the Joan Invitation Hall, but saw the clerk put up a sign saying "Full Customers".There was a sound of regret outside, and everyone shook their heads and left.Axiu said: "Is this full?" Qing Yi said nothing, stepped forward and asked the clerk: "How much money is it for listening to the book?"

The clerk replied: "Ten cents a game, tea and snacks are not included!"

"How much money is reserved?"

The clerk was taken aback, shook his head and said, "We have never booked a show here."

Qing Yi smiled and said: "20 two charters, how about it?"

"There is no such rule! You want to reserve the venue and come back tomorrow! I have to ask my shopkeeper."

"Then can I go in today?"

"It's full, sorry!"

Qing Yi asked Axiu to take out five taels of silver: "How about this as an entry fee?"

"This..." The guy was embarrassed
"Why do you open a store if you have money but don't make money? Take it!" Axiu said.

"But……"

Qing Yi threw the silver to the clerk, and when he was about to go in, a clear but cool voice came from the side: "Guest officer, didn't you hear the clerk say that the restaurant is full? I want to listen to the book, come early tomorrow! "

Qing Yi looked up, and it turned out to be a young girl who looked like a shopkeeper.She held a jade abacus in her hand, waved a round fan embroidered with jade handles and embroidered roses, and walked towards Qing Yi with a scent of fragrance.Qing Yi was fascinated by this fragrance, couldn't tell what it was for a while, rubbed his nose slightly and said, "It's a strange smell."

The woman smiled slightly and said, "This is made by me. Are you not used to smelling it? You seem to be from another place. Have you found a place to stay? There is only an inn in this town."

Qing Yi said: "I know, the Nongmen Inn is very famous. But I heard that the storytellers here are even more famous."

"No matter how famous you are, you have to follow the rules," the woman said unhurriedly, "There are only forty guests here every day, and if there are too many guests, it will be full. Please come tomorrow!"

Axiu interjected, "Your storytelling still looks like a hook?"

The woman said with a slight smile: "Then you can go to Goulan in the city and listen carefully, and don't send it off!"

Axiu was so blocked by these words that he couldn't speak a word.The woman took the silver taels from the clerk and returned them to Qing Yi. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's a fair business here, and there is no deceit. How can you charge as much as five taels for a storytelling session with ten cents? Take it back Go! If you really like it, come back tomorrow!"

The woman walked away with a faint smile.Qing Yi had no choice but to say to the clerk: "I can't listen to books, so stay at the head office?" The clerk hurriedly led Qing Yi to the backyard.Qing Yi asked the clerk while walking: "Is that the shopkeeper of the inn just now?"

"Yes, it's the shopkeeper of the inn. This inn belongs to her family, and it has been passed down to her for the fifth generation."

"Is she in charge now?"

"Exactly!"

"Come out to take care of the inn before leaving the cabinet, is there no one else at home?"

"You misunderstood, but it's not because of this. It's just because Ms. Furu has been good at abacus since she was a child, and she has already learned to be a shopkeeper at the age of 12. Others say that she not only looks very similar to the first proprietress of this inn, but also has the same appearance as the first lady inn." The proprietress can also do business, so she got the nickname "Little Vanilla". Guest, what are you doing asking about my big shopkeeper? Could it be that you also came here because of the name of the big shopkeeper?"

"Do many people come here for the name?"

"That's natural! As you can see, the head shopkeeper of my family has reached the age of leaving the court, and there are many people who want to marry him! Every few days, the young master shopkeeper from the city will come to inquire about news."

"I'm not that interested!" Qing Yi shook off the fan in his hand and said with a faint smile.

The clerk led him up to the second floor of the backyard, opened a room and said, "This is the better room in the store now. I see you as a young master from the city, and you are definitely not used to living in a room on the first floor." , look, do you agree?"

Ah Xiu walked in and took a look, frowned and said, "Is there anything better? Is this room considered good?"

The man smiled apologetically and said, "You don't even know what time it is. If we go two months ahead, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, there won't even be room for a room on the first floor! It's very hot now, and our Longquan Station The view is nice and the room is cool, which of the young and old men, ladies and ladies in the city don’t go here to escape the summer heat? It’s also a coincidence that you came here, you went to a guest officer earlier, so it’s made room for you.”

"Forget it, go down!" Qing Yi said as he sat down at the table.

"Thank you, young master!" The man bent over and smiled enthusiastically, "If you need anything, just say hello, and the little one will be brought to you immediately!"
