Chapter 535 [Time has changed]
Everyone was amazed, this story is very to everyone's taste.
The storyteller smiled and said: "This is a true story not long ago. It has just been spread, and not many people know about it. I also came back from the vicinity of the imperial capital and only heard about this story. It is said that the imperial concubine , has been welcomed into the palace, and the honorary title will be issued soon."
Everyone raised their bowls together and toasted the storyteller, but seeing this scene, he suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
After all, he just got excited and drank the wine in his bowl in one gulp.
Fang Chang noticed his expression, laughed, picked up his own gourd, and filled it with the storyteller. The latter was overjoyed, and quickly thanked the other party. Fang Chang smiled and said, "It's because you told the story well, and it's a little respect from me."
Seeing that the story told was so good for drinking, everyone's desire to express became stronger in an instant.
Someone spoke again:
"I heard a short story a few days ago, it was very interesting, let me tell you about it."
"In a small unknown town in the south of the Yangtze River, a person became very hideous and terrifying after recovering from illness. Anyone who saw him would feel fear. But this person loved beauty since he was a child. Seeing that he became like this, he accepted it. No, so I am ready to take revenge on the world."
"He went out quietly in the evening when there were few people, looking for the target, and saw an old woman sitting on the street begging. So he walked up, lightly threw two copper coins to attract attention, and then he slowly moved up, softly Shouted: 'Grandma... am I beautiful?'”
"The man intended to scare the poor old woman, but the old woman raised her head and said: 'Of course, you are beautiful.' This surprised the man, and he laughed out loud: 'Hahaha, I am beautiful?' This smile made his The face is more ferocious and terrifying, and the surrounding is evening, it is estimated that ghosts and gods will be stunned to the ground."
"He continued to lean forward, but saw that the old woman's eyes were closed, so he exclaimed in his heart: 'Is she blind?' At this time, he heard the old woman in front of him say: 'It's almost night, and you are still willing to help me who is blind. The old woman used must be a person as beautiful in appearance as in heart.'”
"Hearing this, he originally wanted to frighten the old lady, so he was silent for a while, then left all the money on his body, turned and left silently."
Hearing this, everyone in the front hall was silent, some were moved, some were thoughtful.
Everyone felt that this story was very interesting, but the man hadn’t finished the story yet, so he continued:
"After a while, the old woman took a peek in the direction he was leaving, and seeing that he could no longer see his back, she immediately jumped up from the ground, grabbed the money in front of her, and fled."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
The originally charming story suddenly became absurd.
Fang Chang also laughed, picked up the gourd, and poured half a bowl of wine into the bowl of the person who told the story.
The night gradually deepened, and everyone chatted and drank to their heart's content, and went back to the house to rest. But Fang Chang stopped the person who was teasing each other with Brother Lin just now, and said that he wanted to have a chat.
The other party didn't know what Fang Chang was up to, but seeing that he was the one who just delivered wine to everyone, he was willing to save face, so when everyone went back to the room, he stayed and sat opposite Fang Chang:
"I don't know what you have to do?"
Fang Chang said: "Just now I heard from your Excellency that Lao Xie from Huaifeng Mansion is no longer here? Back then, he and I were considered acquaintances, but we haven't seen each other for many years. According to his age, he should not have left since he was not in his prime. It's so early."
Hearing this was the question, the other party felt relieved, and explained:
"Well, Lao Xie of Huaifeng Mansion traveled all year round and was in very good health. His death was an accident. At the beginning, there were two path-cutters who oppressed Goodness. They robbed people and prepared to hurt others, so Lao Xie fought hard and killed the two. Killed all the thieves and saved several women and children who were traveling with us."
"It is said that the scene was extremely tragic, and Lao Xie died without treatment. The people who received his kindness were grateful for his virtue, arranged for his death, and sponsored his son to study. But Xiao Xie's ambition is to inherit his father's career, so So he took Lao Xie's shoulder pole and became a porter between the two mansions."
...
The prosperity of Huqiao Town is much better than before.
Not only was the economic exchange between the prefectures of the new dynasty more prosperous, but also because many surrounding villages and towns found some industries suitable for the local area, they prospered one after another. This made the Fuhu Cake in Huqiao Town go up by another penny—the last time the price of Fuhu Cake increased was when prices soared during the catastrophe.
The school in Huqiao Town has been refurbished and expanded. There are quite a few children in it. In addition to Xu Wuren, there are two more teachers, a boy and a girl.
The past few years have passed quickly, the original blacksmith shop and tavern have changed people, even the "vegetable grower Lao Xie" who grew vegetables for a living on the head of the town has passed away, and the vegetable patch on the edge of the town has also disappeared. Because the scale of the town has grown, it has been surrounded by houses.
Ah Huang and Ah Niu’s home has changed. The original brick house has become old, but the door opening and the courtyard wall are newly rebuilt. The former children have become young people, and they have already married and established a business.
Fang Chang walked to the mutton noodle stall and ordered a bowl of mutton noodles without eggs.
The stall owners are still Xu Lianrong and his wife, but after more than ten years, they are a little older than the last time they saw each other, with a few more white hairs on their temples. And the craftsmanship of the two of them has also become more refined over the years, smooth and stable.
The taste of mutton noodles has changed a lot, but it feels good.
Fang Chang saw that there was a young man next to him who looked familiar, so he asked directly, "Your Excellency looks kind, where is he from?" Fang Chang prefers to watch and listen.
The young man looked at Fang Chang, saw that he was young and attractive, so he patted the pole next to him, and replied generously:
"My surname is Xie, and I make a living by running errands between Huaifeng Mansion and Long'an Mansion, who is your Excellency?"
"My name is Fang Chang." Fang Chang nodded and said, the young man in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes were indeed very similar to the old Xie of Huaifeng Mansion, so he asked aloud.
"Oh? Ah, Jiazun mentioned this name when he was alive, but..."
"It's me. I met your father a few times back then."
"So it's Uncle Fang Shi, I'm being rude." The young man got up and saluted, and then he sat down and started chatting: "This mutton noodles, my family respected me when he was alive. Now I also like the noodles here, every time I come from Longan On the way back from the mansion, when we stayed overnight in Huqiao Town, we had to eat two bowls."
