Lanke Chess Edge

Shopkeeper Zhuo opened a secret wooden door from under the counter, and brought up Qian Richun, the only 20-year-old altar hidden here.

And Qian Richun has only been famous for less than 30 years. The wine aged for 20 years is considered to be the best in Qian Richun. It is almost the product of the same era as the name of the wine that was bestowed by the imperial family. This kind of wine can be found throughout the garden. There are very few cellars in the large wine cellar, and there is only such a small jar on the side of the storefront.

Prince Zhong had only tasted it twice, once when the daughter of the prefect of Chunhui Prefecture married into the palace and was named Zhaorong. When the banquet was held, there were twenty altars in the garden, and the second time was when Prince Zhong went to Zhouzhuang. He had the cheek to ask the shopkeeper for it, and spent fifty taels of silver to buy a jar.

Rareness is the most precious thing, and it is brewed year after year in spring for thousands of days.

Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhuo actually sold an outsider's top-quality wine, he couldn't sit still. He put down his glass and walked to the counter to discuss the theory with the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Zhuo, I've been begging you for this wine several times. If you want to sell it, you have to sell it to me first, right?"

In Ji Yuan's eyes, the prince's heavy stature is considered a burly one. Of course, it's still a notch or two inferior to the Li Daniu who was on the boat before. Listening to what he said, he knew that this wine should be very precious.

It's okay to change it for other things, but this is a thousand days of spring, and Ji Yuan is still a bit greedy, so I can't miss it, so I hurriedly entered the shop.

"Just this wine, the shopkeeper, how much is this wine per pound, or two taels?"

Shopkeeper Zhuo looked at Prince Chong next to him, hesitated for a while and said with a shy face.

"That's right, it's still two taels of silver a pound. If the guest officer doesn't have enough money, you can take credit!"

Wang Zizhong, a first-class expert in his forties who became famous in the arena, would stare at Shopkeeper Zhuo with rounded eyes, who was so tickled by him that he just pushed the wine out.

But this time, Wang Zizhong will also look at the doorway. He was very excited just now. Now that he can make the shopkeeper Zhuo not even face in front of him, then his identity as a wine buyer is worth scrutinizing, so he It didn't really interrupt the deal.

Ji Yuan wanted to taste the 20-year-old Qian Richun, but he was not an alcoholic who was addicted to alcohol, so he naturally took out the pottery wine bottle that was in the bag.

"Bring your own wine bottle, how much is a pound?"

Shopkeeper Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then responded immediately and replied:

"Since the guest officer brings his own wine bottle, it is naturally cheaper, so he will spend 800 pennies a pound, but the guest officer will buy a pound?"

"Ho..."

The prince made a small and strange inhalation sound from his throat, and abruptly turned his face away without looking at the wine jar. Although the shopkeeper couldn't hear it, Ji Yuan could hear it clearly.

Ji Yuan laughed when she saw the shopkeeper pretending to be calm and the other people's interesting expressions. The last time he thought it was so interesting, he was listening to Taoist Qingsong and his apprentice Qi Wen talking in the Hui Guest House.

"Okay, I've troubled the shopkeeper to drink, so I'll buy a pound."

Putting the jug on the counter, Ji Yuan then took out a certain amount of round silver and a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and placed it on the table. The shopkeeper did not weigh the silver first, but took out the spoon and started to make wine.

There is a name for this kind of spoon, which is called four liang mention. As the name suggests, one spoonful is about four or two wines, and four times is a pound, but this time the shopkeeper lifted half a spoonful of wine directly It will stop when it is close to the mouth of the pot.

Later, he took the silver and weighed it aside, and then made a calculation on the abacus.

"Silver is one tael and twenty-one baht, and the sum of money is eight hundred and seventy-five wen. Guest officer, this is your fifteen change as a five-way treasure."

Ji Yuan took the money, picked up the wine and put it on the mat.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhuo, I'll leave now."

Ji Yuan, who was thanking him, saw that the shopkeeper also hurriedly bowed his hand in return from behind the counter, and smiled again, he was a wonderful person.

He didn't say anything more, he stepped out of the garden shop with the jug in hand, and left in the direction of the downtown. Although it was one willing to fight and one to suffer, Ji Yuan really remembered the shopkeeper of this shop.

"Hey, guest, go slowly, walk slowly! Guest, come again next time~~!"

Shopkeeper Zhuo was still shouting at the top of his voice, and when he couldn't see Ji Yuan's back, he couldn't help but smile, and bowed his hands to the prince on one side to apologize.

"My third master, I'm here to accompany you. It's just now that there is an emergency. You can see that there are four kilograms left of this aged thousand-day spring, so I'll sell it to you!"

Although Wang Zizhong was still in doubt about Jiyuan's identity, he was overjoyed when he heard the words of shopkeeper Zhuo.

"Then how much should I buy a pound?"

"It's also two taels, it's also two taels!"

Manager Zhuo is in a good mood at the moment, even if it is a free gift, as long as the prince Chongzhen speaks, he will agree.

"Hahahaha, it's almost the same! But it's convenient for the shopkeeper Zhuo to reveal who is coming just now?"

"Hey hey, I can't say it, I can't say it, it's not that Zhuo does not want to say it, but it is inconvenient to say that after selling this pound of wine, Zhuo feels refreshed and has a good idea. If the third master bumps into that... guest officer. , more courtesy is always right."

Some things, when the person concerned suddenly realizes that something is wrong, the more they think about it, the more they feel wrong, while in some cases the opposite is true. For example, the current shopkeeper Zhuo, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels it is worthwhile.

. . .

After noon, Ji Yuan nibbled on the buns with fried vegetables for a penny each, and walked south after exiting the Dongcheng Gate.

The Chunmu River is long and winding, and there is no way that there is only one Jiang Shen Temple, but if you want to talk about the largest and most orthodox, it is naturally the Jiang Shen Temple outside the city of Chunhui House.

Anyway, I came to Chunhui Mansion. The scenery of the first word of Chunmu River is still to be seen. The closer you get to the Jiangshen Temple, the more people around.

From a long distance, I could smell the scent of sandalwood, and the noise from the temple was also heard. Before we got to the temple, there were hawkers along the road along the river who kept shouting.

They sell sandalwood and candles, candied haws and candied fruit, and even sell rouge gouache for beauty balls, which makes Ji Fate also wide-open.

"All good men and women, come and see, the amulet for the opening of the temple..."

"Incense candles are cheap, incense candles, don't forget to burn incense when you enter the temple to worship God~~!"

"Pouch, nice pouch~~"

……

"Hey, this guest officer, it seems that you are a knowledgeable scholar, do you want to buy some incense sticks, Lord Jiang Shen will bless you with your high school fame!"

At the entrance of the temple, there were more and more vendors of blessing goods, and another vendor shouted at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan stopped and asked the vendor strangely:

"This God of Jiang is still in charge of fame?"

"Hey, what you said, the guest officer, ask for fame and fortune, ask for peace, ask for marriage, as long as you ask, Master Jiang Shen will bless you, buy two incense sticks?"

Even marriage?

Ji Yuan is happy, but it seems that it is similar in my previous life. Many temples can ask for anything.

"Let's have a stick of incense."

"Okay, two pennies and one stick, take the incense!"

Ji Yuan paid the money, took the incense, and entered the temple area. It felt like entering a special park. The wall gallery with eaves in the inner garden and the outer garden, the inscription wall of literati and poets, the river port for release, and the There are pavilions and corridors where people sit, as well as large and small incense burners and merit boxes, as well as the flow of people offering incense...

The real Jiangshen Temple is also a big room with exaggerated eaves. There is no clay sculpture of any official inside or outside the temple~www.NovelMTL.com~ The nearly 200 square meters of space except the incense burner futon for the table tribute wooden fence, just There is only one statue of Jiangshen, which is five feet tall.

The statue of the **** has a serious face and eyebrows by the craftsmen. It is like a wave. A long hairpin is attached to a bun hat, and the robe is like running water. Overall, the carving is very expressive.

Ji Yuan also followed the flow of pilgrims to the oil lamps in the temple to light incense. Some of them went to the statue of Jiang God, and heard various prayers of pilgrims, some normal and some absurd, some interesting and some listening. Quite heavy.

But it’s not wrong to ask for a smooth sailing on the Tongjiang River. If you want to be able to ride along the river with good weather and rain, you can ask for a long life, wealth, fame and marriage. It’s better to go to the city god.

The God of Mountains and Waters, Tongchenghuang, is different from some land masters. Except for the very special seals, most of them are practical cultivations. They can either be cultivated through connecting mountains and rivers or water veins with many difficulties in the long years of cultivation, or they can be cultivated through the legendary The imperial seal was summoned to obtain the divine position of the orthodox **** of mountains and rivers.

For them, folk incense is just an aid, and if they can manage the affairs of the river, they are considered diligent.

And those who occupy a certain amount of mountains, rivers and waters, and who have obtained a little landscape, want to rely on the power of incense to help become orthodox, but may respond to some prayers instead.

As for this Muchun River God, it is a scaleless white flooded dragon with a long history, and it is recorded in an outsider tradition that it cannot be transformed into a dragon twice, and its scales and armor are all gone.

Even so, Bai Jiao is also an extremely rare righteous **** of the river, who can truly rule the Chunmu River.

Ji Yuan didn't ask for anything, and after bowing his hands twice without losing his respect, he put the incense into the big incense cauldron.

When the incense fell, Ji Yuan could vaguely see a mysterious and yellow aura rising and passing away, which was much more spectacular than the occasional scent of the whole temple.
