While Li Anran was sitting in an ox cart, leisurely admiring this Tang Dynasty city, Lantian County Magistrate Gu Bangcai was sitting in his study, with a complicated expression. On the table in front of him was a
It was the information sent back from Zhaojiacun this morning, and the details described in it were really unbelievable.
If anyone could read the contents of the intelligence now, they would find that the content described in it is exactly what happened to the strange events that took place in the Zhao family last night.
If marked according to the keywords of modern time and space, words such as golden light, disappearing, reappearing, clothing changes, mysterious boxes, etc. are very conspicuous. If he were an ordinary government servant in the county government, Gu Bangcai would definitely treat this information as
Words like absurd and whimsical were used to make the conclusion. But this information came from special channels hidden under the "water". Gu Bangcai would not be stupid enough to think that these spies with rich backgrounds would take pleasure in himself.
Gu Bangcai pondered for a while, but he still couldn't figure out from the intelligence in the past few days what the origin of this guy who suddenly appeared was.
Just when Gu Bangcai, the county magistrate, called his "personal assistant", which is similar to an aide or a master's confidant, to discuss some matters, Li Anran had already arrived at Hongfu Tower in the east of the county seat in an ox cart.
.
Regarding the first impression of the ancient city, Li Anran felt a little disappointed. Without it, the internal environment of the city was not as clean and tidy as in movies and TV shows. Although it is not as exaggerated as the ubiquity of defecation everywhere, the overall
There is indeed a certain gap between the environment and the one Li Anran had before.
In fact, it’s not surprising when you think about it. In a county like Lantian County, many people from nearby villages go to the city every day to do small business or buy daily necessities. Even in ancient times, there were people collecting night incense, but there were no public toilets.
Facilities, if they really have physical needs, the migrants who come to the city can only find a place to solve it on their own. In addition, many residents in the county like to raise dogs or chickens.
Expecting these little things to know what hygiene is is pure nonsense.
Fortunately, this situation is not serious. As for the greening in the city, although it is not absent, it is far inferior to those residential areas in modern time and space. After the ox carts entered the East City of Lantian County, which is the business district, Li
An Ran found that the environment here was much better than that along the way.
Just when Li Anran was looking at Hongfu Tower, before the bullock cart could stop, he saw a round "meat ball" "rolling" out from inside.
"The real person is Shopkeeper Wu from Hongfu Tower." When he saw the meat ball "rolling" this way, Zhao Da, who was driving, made a timely introduction.
"Shopkeeper Wu? It's really... very plump..."
Seeing that people were taking the initiative to greet them, Li Anran didn't know his identity. He lightly jumped off the bullock cart and waved the whisk in his hand before approaching them.
"This must be Master Chunyang in person. As expected, he has extraordinary bearing. He is the shopkeeper of Hongfu Tower, whose surname is Wu Mingchen. I hope you will forgive me if I miss you."
During the time between "rolling out" from Hongfu Tower and appearing in front of the bullock cart, Wu Cheng'en, who had a big round face and a pair of narrow eyes, had already looked this person up and down several times.
I have to admit that the real person in front of me is not only completely different from ordinary Taoist priests in terms of clothing, but also has a very elegant temperament. In other words, he has a sense of immortality and Taoism, and he looks very good.
good.
"Wu Cheng'en?!"
After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Li Anran immediately thought of "Journey to the West", one of the four famous masterpieces. But then he thought about it, Wu Cheng'en, who wrote "Journey to the West", was from the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Li Anran smiled calmly, performed a Taoist head-offering ceremony, and said: "I met Shopkeeper Wu, and I was really productive the day before yesterday."
As for why the other party knew his identity, it didn't take much thinking to know that Zhao Da must have accidentally revealed it during the transaction.
"You're welcome, this is a matter of mutual benefit, not a favor, please!" Seeing that the person in front of him didn't care about his identity, Wu Cheng'en said a polite word and quickly stepped aside to make a gesture of invitation.
"Please!" Li Anran, who knew that Zhao Dazhao Er and the others would definitely have arrangements, did not say anything more, flicked the fly whisk in his hand, and walked forward after speaking.
Li Anran knew very well that this Wu Chengen would not be as easy to fool as Zhao Da and Zhao Er. In line with the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, saying less and making fewer mistakes, he just listened to the other party introducing the situation of Hongfu Tower along the way.
.
Li Anran originally just wanted to use the Hongfu Building to thank Dr. Sun for his previous help, and to listen to his opinions on how to best solve the Xuetang matter.
But after Wu Chengen led him to the private room on the second floor of Hongfu Building, Li Anran found that there were no outsiders here. Before he could ask, good wine and food were served at a low price.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I wonder why Dr. Sun didn't come?" Li Anran asked calmly, looking at the table filled with wine and food.
"I have already gone to invite Doctor Sun. I heard from my servants that the county magistrate's family members are a little sick. I have asked my servants to wait in front of the county government office. As soon as Mrs. Sun comes out, she will be sent here directly." He picked up the wine bottle.
Wu Chengen poured the wine and explained with a smile.
"I see, Shopkeeper Wu, is it possible that you are also very interested in the formula of snow candy?" Feeling the other party's attentiveness, Li Anran suddenly said with a smile.
"Haha... I'm interested, of course I'm interested. Real person, I want to..."
Seeing that this "meat ball"'s thoughts were not beyond his expectations, Li Anran waved his hand and said without waiting for the other party to finish speaking:
"Thank you in advance, Shopkeeper Wu, for your kindness. I have my own plans regarding the snow candy. But I have another matter, and I would like to ask Shopkeeper Wu for help."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Wu Cheng'en, who was interrupted, didn't mean to be angry at all. He still had a smile on his face and asked very politely.
"First, please ask the shopkeeper to let my entourage bring up a few boxes. It won't be too late for us to talk later." Li Anran smiled slightly and pretended.
"Okay! I'll make arrangements now." After saying that, Wu Chengen asked the servant who wanted to make a meal in the private room to handle the matter.
After a while, Zhao Dazhao and Zhao Er went upstairs with two gift boxes. They waited for the servants of the restaurant to open the door of the private room, and then carefully carried them in.
"Huh? Real person, these are..." Looking at the four luxurious but very special boxes, Wu Chengen couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, Zhao Da and Zhao Er, you go down and have something to eat first. I'll give you any instructions if you need anything." After giving him a calm look, Li Anran said.
"Nuo." Zhao Da and Zhao Er, who was in a "star hotel" like Hongfu Tower and felt very restrained by the atmosphere here, agreed respectfully and quickly stepped out of the way.
"Sir, does what I said before have anything to do with these?" Wu Cheng'en, a businessman, asked as he stared at the gift box on the table.
"Yes and no." Li Anran picked out a gift box and said with a smile.
"Oh? Why did you say that?" Wu Cheng'en said, somewhat astonished.
After placing the gift box in front of him and opening it, and confirming that the set of so-called artificial crystal wine sets inside was not damaged at all, Li Anran started to cheat with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, I believe you have heard of my identity. I am a Qi Refiner from Xuande Cave in Changbai Mountain. On the way to Huashan Cave in Xiyue, I was swept away by the Dragon Qi and fell into the world of mortals."
"Most of my cultivation has been lost. Apart from a few magic weapons that I carry with me, I am no different from a useless person. When I was practicing last night, I was lucky enough to meet a fellow disciple who came to pick me up."
"It was only after I returned to the cave that I realized that this was my destiny. I needed to resolve my fate and cause and effect in this tumultuous world, so I had no choice but to enter this world of mortals again."
"Fortunately, the world will meet the Ming Dynasty at this time, and it will be prosperous. Therefore, I want to buy a village near Lantian County and settle down, so that I can take advantage of the situation and fulfill my destiny."
"As a person from outside the world, I have no worldly possessions. This time I went out to the mountains and took five treasures with me. I plan to exchange them for some adu objects so that I can live in peace in this troubled world."
