son, stop

Shocked.

The electric light is like a chaotic python, crushing the gloomy sea of ​​clouds, turning the earth into a river.

Amidst the thunder and rain, a black oil-paper umbrella floated past the water gate of Linhefang in the capital along with the Wu Peng boat.

Along the banks of the river, misty rain all over the city stirs up three thousand willows.

Zuo Lingquan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the jagged and scattered buildings in the capital, and felt that the scene in front of him was very similar to the Qingming Riverside Scene in his memory.

After 17 years in this world, the memory of the past has long been blurred, but Zuo Lingquan can confirm that this is not the world where only scholars are romantic.

This is Donghua City, the capital of the Great Dan Dynasty.

17 years ago, Zuo Lingquan was born in Qinghe County of the Great Dan Dynasty. He was the son of the Zuo family, a local big landlord.

When he first came here, Zuo Lingquan thought that he could be a foolish son of a landlord's family in this life, with no worries about food and clothing, but when he was a toddler, he found that this world was a little different.

The people here are very powerful, and the best can fly away, move mountains and seas; animals are also good, and the legend of foxes repaying their graces and ghosts transforming into shapes is widely circulated.

Zuo Lingquan is so grown up, although he has never seen these strange people, but from the few words in ancient books, he can still glimpse the mystery and vastness of this world.

As a human being, Zuo Lingquan never wanted to go up [-] miles and go to the top of the mountain to see what the world was like.

It's a pity that even though he has ten thousand family wealth close by, he has become an ordinary person in this unusual world because his meridians are not connected by birth.

This time in Beijing, because of his outstanding appearance, he was named to run for the consort of the current princess.

If you fall to the ground, you will have no worries in this life, but there is no way to enter the road ahead.

Zuo Lingquan didn't know whether he was born lucky or unfortunate.

In a second thought, the Wu Peng boat docked on the side of the street.

Zuo Lingquan retracted his thoughts, flicked his fingers, threw a piece of silver to the boatman, and set foot on the bluestone street in Linhefang.

The captain of the boat caught the silver ingot and was flattered:

"Sir, give more."

"Reward you."

Zuo Lingquan waved his hand at will and walked straight into the rain screen.

The boat master was holding the silver ingot, his eyes filled with gratitude, and was about to push the Wu Peng boat away from the river bank, when suddenly he heard the sound of 'crash -' splashing water, followed by the woman's scream.

When I looked up, I saw a little woman in a bead hairpin cloth skirt standing at the door of the restaurant on the street, holding a wooden basin in her hand, her eyes full of fear.

The street was filled with mist, and Zuo Lingquan, who had just walked out a few steps, stood still in the mist.

Chuan Gong's eyes were stunned. He didn't expect that this young man was only three steps handsome. Afraid of a conflict between the two sides, he hurriedly settled the scene:

"Manager Tang, as soon as Mr. Ren arrived in the capital, you poured someone's bath water all over his body. You wanted to say hello when you saw that Mr. Ren was handsome, but you didn't do that."

As soon as these words came out, the guests in the teahouse and wine shop burst into laughter.

Zuo Lingquan raised his umbrella to cover the top of his head, and turned to look at the restaurant.

There are yellow wine flags hanging in the restaurant, with only the word 'soup' written on it.

A little woman with a wooden basin, standing under the eaves, in a bead hairpin cloth skirt, simple and clean, with a bulging dress, a face like white tofu, and her eyes widened from fear, it adds a bit more. Different flavor.

However, the little woman seemed to be quite saucy, and she immediately glanced back when she heard the captain's ridicule:

"What nonsense, didn't you see me, was it careless?"

After finishing speaking, the little woman looked at Zuo Lingquan with apologetic eyes:

"Son, I'm really sorry. It's raining so hard, I thought there was no one on the street. This is boiling water for cooking wine, not bath water."

boiling water?

Rather than bath water.

Zuo Lingquan looked at the white water mist all over the ground, and wanted to give a few words of advice, but it could be seen that the other party was a woman, so after thinking about it, he said:

"Be careful next time. If it is an ordinary woman or child, it will be disfigured on the spot."

"Young master taught me."

The little woman nodded embarrassedly, looked up, and saw the young gentleman in front of her, dressed in a tea-blue robe, with a Pisces pendant hanging from her belt, her long hair tied up with a black headband, her eyebrows staring, the bridge of her nose high, and her face straight. Tough, with a green leather scabbard sword hanging from his waist, he looks handsome and brings disaster to the country and the people.

It was only just now that the umbrella was removed to cover the splashing water, resulting in a lot of raindrops on the cheeks and brocade robe.

The little woman blinked and made such a handsome son a jerk. She felt embarrassed and said again:

"Why don't you come into the store, son, and I'll find a towel for you to wipe?"

Zuo Lingquan was exhausted by boat and car. He had not eaten lunch yet. Seeing the aroma of wine in the shop, he did not refuse. He put away his umbrella under the eaves and walked into the Tang family restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, with four small wine tables, a wine jar and a stove for warm wine in the corners.

On the wine table on the inside, there were already two guests sitting, dressed in black fish scale armor and with their sabres on their sides, one old and one young, looking like they were patrolling from Linhefang.

Zuo Lingquan entered the restaurant and sat down at the wine table by the window. The little woman hurriedly ran into the backyard to find a towel.

The old catcher at the next table saw this and said:

"Jingyou, you have to change your temperament in the future. Today, thanks to the good-tempered son, you will have to pay for this robe of Yunzhongjin, and you will be busy in the first half of the year."

A little woman named Tang Jingxun came out with a white towel and said angrily:

"My son is gentle, refined, and knowledgeable. At first glance, he is a reasonable scholar. Do you think that he is just like you, an immortal, full of dirty words and love to take advantage of it? Is that right, son?"

Zuo Lingquan responded politely to this flattery:

"Auntie has won the prize."

Auntie?

Tang Jingshen's bright smile froze, and she pursed her lips, obviously wanting to scold, but in the end she held back and said with a slight dissatisfaction:

"Young Master, I'm not married yet, so how can my aunt scream. My name is Tang Jingxun, you can call it Sister Tang. If you don't want to be called Sister, you can also call Xiaoxun."

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised, seeing the appearance of the little woman in front of her, she seemed to be able to drip out water, she was definitely not small in this world.

However, Zuo Lingquan didn't ask much about the woman's family affairs, so he changed his mind and said:

"Madam, what do you have to eat?"

Tang Jingshen smiled and hurriedly introduced the appetizers of the restaurant.

The old catcher quickly saw that there was nothing wrong, he drank the glass of wine, put five big coins on the table, and walked out with the small catcher.

Seeing this, Tang Jingxuan turned around and greeted:

"Old Zhang, stop drinking?"

Lao Chakuai walked out of the restaurant with the old knife with a yellow scabbard and waved his hand:

"Forget it, I've been drinking with you for more than ten years, not to mention the butt, and I haven't let my hand touch it once. The business is not kind."

When Tang Jingxun heard this bullshit, she didn't feel a bit ashamed, and scolded on the spot:

"Bah - I'm not a brothel here. If I want to touch you, go to the alley in front, because I'm afraid you are old."

Speaking of this, Tang Jingxun found Zuo Lingquan sitting in front of her, and quickly put away her aggressive words, and smiled shyly:

"Old Zhang is a patrolman of Linhefang. He is a good man and has great skills, but he has a broken mouth. Don't mind, son."

Zuo Lingquan thought it was very interesting, so he didn't mind.

After a while, Tang Jingxuan brought a pot of wine and two plates of side dishes and put them on the table.

As soon as Zuo Lingquan picked up his chopsticks, another boat docked at the pier outside the restaurant.

This time, it was a big ship, and the maids and family members gathered on the deck.

As the pedals were lowered, more than a dozen young masters who were in full bloom came down from the top, all dressed in luxurious clothes. Among them, a few phoenix eyes and frowns, boys and girls, attracted a lot of scrutiny.

There were no other guests in the restaurant. Tang Jingxuan stood at the door to watch the excitement. After discovering these foreign sons, he said:

"The ships of the four counties in the south, these sons are all here to compete for the princess hydrangea?"

The four southern counties were the granaries of the most prosperous people in the Great Dan Dynasty. Zuo Lingquan came from Qinghe County, one of the four counties, and should have taken this official ship to Beijing.He glanced out the window, nodded and said:

"Yes, I should have arrived a few days ago, but it was delayed for a few days due to the heavy rain in the past few days."

"Oh?"

Seeing Zuo Lingquan's understanding so well, Tang Jingxuan turned around and sat on the wine table next to him, resting his chin in his hand, and asked curiously:

"The eldest princess chooses a concubine the day after tomorrow, and the young masters of noble families from all over the world have been called to the capital. I think the young master has a good temperament. Could it be that he also came for this?"

Zuo Lingquan was ordered by his elders, and he really came for this matter.

But he is sitting on a wealth of thousands of dollars. Even if he can't travel thousands of miles in this life, it's easy to drink wine, meat, and indulge. How can he be interested in a concubine who can't take a concubine?

Zuo Lingquan hesitated for a while before responding ambiguously:

"I came here alone, without even a entourage, as if I was fighting for a concubine?"

Tang Jingxuan looked at Zuo Lingquan seriously, not sure if it was a compliment:

"Then Your Highness, Princess, is not lucky. If Young Master arrives the day after tomorrow, there will be no matter of those people outside. The Princess will definitely choose you."

""

Zuo Lingquan put down the wine bowl and looked at Tang Jingxing:

"why?"

Tang Jing pursed her lips and chuckled, and pointed to the group of gentle gentlemen outside:

"Sister, I still have some eyesight. Look at those young masters, Svenwen is full of fat, and she has to be supported by maids in the last carriage. She is more expensive than Miss Qianjin, and has no manliness. If you let me choose a husband-in-law, Definitely won't choose them."

Zuo Lingquan didn't go on the big boat with those people because he couldn't stand those sissies. Seeing Tang Jingxun say this, he laughed and joked:

"If Sister Tang chooses her husband, would she choose me?"

? ?

Tang Jing's smile froze for a moment, only to realize that she had wrapped herself in. Facing the sudden flirtation, she didn't look disgusted, she just stood up and walked to the backyard, humming softly:

"Young master is young, but he has a lot of thoughts. It's just that my elder sister has lost sight of it."

Zuo Lingquan smiled and ate wine and food on his own.

The rainstorm outside the window pattered, Tang Jingxun went back to the back room to prepare the food and drink, but said nothing.

It was just that before the wine in the pot was exhausted, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, as if the house was collapsing, which was very eye-catching in the rain.

boom -

Tang Jingxun was startled, almost cut off her fingers, and ran out from behind the curtain:

"What's wrong? Who's in trouble?"

The restaurant was empty, and Zuo Lingquan, who had been sitting just now, had already jumped out of the window, and he could only see a figure from behind.

Before leaving, he did not forget to put an official ticket on the table, with a full denomination of one hundred taels.

Tang Jing's eyes lit up, and she quickly put the bank note into her neckline, then stuck out the window, ready to ask if she could find any money.

The scene that I never wanted to see made the charming little woman turn pale suddenly
