„Customer goes via this place?” “客官是路经此地？” Over the face of inn storekeeper wears a smile welcomes Yang Fan and Gu Zhuting, Yang Fan head high, chest out walks in front, Gu Zhuting raises the burden to fall behind his half step, the timid young girl or child who inspires tenderness follows in his side, like a gentle neat little wife, appointed no one could see that she is hundred changes a succuba, moreover is an outstanding female killer of murder. 客栈掌柜的满面堆笑地把杨帆和古竹婷迎进去,杨帆昂首挺胸走在前头,古竹婷提着包袱落后他半步,小鸟依人般跟在他的身边,就像一个温柔楚楚的小媳妇儿,任谁也看不出她是个百变魔女,而且是一步一杀人的超卓女杀手。 „! It is not, we come to here, is the plan enters a number of bamboos!” “哦！不是,我们来这儿,是打算进一批竹子！” The Yang Fan manner is calm, replied confidently: „The whangee of expensive place makes bamboo mat, then fumigates the system, its color like gold/metal, mildly like jade, and does not live the insect, not only has the appearance, and is very practical, but buys in the area, price was expensive, I then gained less than several articles, therefore while the time of summer selling well not, me and wife came a large stock of goods first.” 杨帆神态从容,坦然答道:“贵地的黄竹制成竹席,再加以薰制,其色如金,温润如玉,且不生虫子,既有卖相,又很实用,只是在当地买的话,价钱贵了许多,我便赚不到几文了,所以趁着夏天热销之期未至,我和娘子先来进一批货。” Yang Fan laughs, said: „Buys to your local area directly, can not be inexpensive?” 杨帆哈哈一笑,道:“直接到你本地来买,总该不会那么贵了吧？” One hear of he of storekeeper is purchases the bamboo, then must live in some date and time in the shop, this person flattered, feared when he came to yellow Zhu county again didn't choose oneself this inn? Since he does the bambooware business, certainly must stock with goods year after year. 掌柜的一听他是来收购竹子的,那在店里必然是要多住些时日的,这个人巴结好了,怕他再来黄竹镇时不选择自家这处客栈？他既然是做竹器生意的,肯定要年年进货嘛。 Storekeepers was warmer: „Well good, this guest is really the good vision, the old man to feel that our bamboo, area the quality of material state and rill do not produce the difference, the person who what a pity can judge the quality of goods are not many, old man here wishes the customer source of wealth to enter first broadly, hehe, the customer please look that this best room may also satisfy, the lobby may dine, the meals of head store are also very typical regional cuisine. Exits not far from the backyard, is together the brook, the cross-strait view is exquisite, the virtuous husband and wife will certainly like here.” 掌柜的更加热情了:“好好好,这位客人真是好眼光,老汉觉着我们这儿的竹子,质地不比舒州、小溪一带所产差嘛,可惜识货的人不多,老汉这里先预祝客官财源广进了,呵呵呵,客官请看,这间上房可还满意,前厅就可用餐,本店的膳食也是很地道的地方风味。从后院出去不远,就是一道溪流,两岸景致优美,贤伉俪一定会喜欢这儿的。” Gu Zhuting listens to Yang Fan to call her wife first, is the surface hot heartbeat, then listens to this storekeeper said that they are the virtuous husband and wife, this heart is nice and warm cannot say is any flavor, is only side Yang Fan. She must do calmly, really painstakingly he. 古竹婷先听杨帆称她娘子,已是面热心跳,再听这掌柜的称他们是贤伉俪,这一颗心暖烘烘得说不出是什么味道,只是在杨帆身边。她还得强作镇定,着实苦了他。 Yang Fan looked, the guest room in this small place is comfortable, in the Luoyang city, Zhang Chuangpu, a short several small room, the daily rent is also 20 articles above, inside and outside here houses two, the outside entertains a guest, the inner room rests, the middle has 12 leaves of wooden screen divisions. Pure refined, a day of accommodation ten writing money, seriously is excellent in quality and reasonable in price. 杨帆看了看,这小地方的客房就是舒坦,在洛阳城里,就一张床铺、一张矮几的斗室,每天的租金也是20文以上,这儿的房舍内外两间,外间待客,内间休息,中间有12扇的木屏分割。清净雅致,一天的食宿费才十文钱,当真物美价廉。 Yang Fan nods satisfied, said to Gu Zhuting: „Wife, puts down the thing. Rests!” 杨帆满意地点点头,对古竹婷道:“娘子,把东西放下。歇息一下吧！” Gu Zhuting does not dare to talk, does not dare to look up him. Nods tamely. Took a step the room. 古竹婷也不敢搭话,更不敢抬头看他。只是温驯地点点头。迈步进了房间。 Storekeepers accompanies to say with a smile in behind: „Daughter waits a minute, waiter a while sends the hot water, words that wants to bathe, a window pass/test, a door bolt was good, in old man shop peaceful very!” 掌柜的在后面陪笑道:“小娘子稍候,伙计一会儿就送来热水,想要沐浴的话,窗子一关,房门一闩就行了,老汉这店里安静的很！” Yang Fan has not actually entered the room. Only walked back and forth in the outhouse, then walks slowly and aimlessly, in the institute under tall a cassia tree stands firm, the hypocrisy chitchatted with that storekeeper: „Hehe. I heard that your local area becomes famous because of the whangee range, there bamboo are most, is cheap, is so?” 杨帆却没进屋。只在外屋逡巡了一遍,便又踱出去,在院中一棵高大的桂树下站定,假意与那掌柜攀谈:“呵呵。我听说,你们本地因黄竹岭而成名,那儿的竹子最多,也最是便宜,可是如此么？” Storekeepers has curled upwards the outstanding thumb, thinks highly saying: „Customer has worked hard, our whangee county, is rich in the bamboo many are the whangee range. The customers do the bambooware business, thinks that is the Hsinchu old bamboo needs, elsewhere arundinaria japonicum was often felled, the old bamboo are not many, in only this whangee range, the common person cannot come up, many years old bamboos you want to seek to obtain.” 掌柜的翘了翘大拇指,恭维道:“客官是下过功夫的,咱们这黄竹县,盛产竹子最多的就是黄竹岭。客官做竹器生意,想必是新竹老竹都需要的,别处山竹常受人砍伐,老竹可是不多,唯独这黄竹岭上,寻常人上不去,多少年的老竹你想要都寻得到。” „?” “哦？” Yang Fan listened to turn around in the tree next azure long and narrow stone to sit down, racket side, to the say/way of that storekeeper: „Comes, please sit down of storekeeper, below newly-arrived, had not known about the expensive situation, storekeeper , if willing to lend a hand, brings both sides together, if has made this business, hehe......, Although below is pamphlet business, cannot make several money, but this laborious money will pay.” 杨帆听了转身在树下一块青条石上坐下,拍拍旁边,对那掌柜的道:“来来来,掌柜的请坐,在下初来乍到,对贵地情形还不了解,掌柜的若肯帮衬一下,从中牵线搭桥,若是做成了这桩买卖的话,呵呵呵……,虽说在下是小本生意,赚不得几个钱,可这辛苦钱还是会付的。” Gu Zhuting lays down the burden, sees that room natural lighting to be sufficient, beautiful, latter out of the window is piece of trees, branches and leaves woman suo, after first window, is the courtyard, the sunlight illuminates, in the heart is really satisfied. Walks slowly and aimlessly before the window leisurely, vision glances outward, sees Yang Fan to talk and laugh merrily with the shop storekeeper under the tree exactly. 古竹婷放下包袱,见那房间采光充足,一片明媚,后窗外就是一片树木,枝叶婆挲,前窗后就是天井,阳光斜照,心中甚是满意。款款踱到窗前,目光向外一瞟,恰看见杨帆在树下与小店掌柜谈笑风生。 The sunlight illuminates by the sweet-scented osmanthus leaf, variegated piece. The variegated sunlight reflects on Yang Fan, there is a special effect. 阳光透过桂花树叶照下来,斑斓一片。斑斓的阳光映在杨帆身上,有种特别的效果。 Sunlight, frank and handsome......, Beckoning man taste. 阳光、爽朗、英俊……,叫人心动的男人味儿。 Gu Zhuting hurried withdrawing body, returning to cot to sit down, the cheeks somewhat feel hot. 古竹婷急忙抽回身子,回到榻边坐下,脸颊有些发烫。 Is pressing thump however the atrium of beat gently, she is somewhat bashful and somewhat annoyingly rebukes oneself: „Damn, what you are indulging in flights of fancy, others have not moved the cordiality to you obviously, how you so cannot withstand, couldn't defend once pledge eventually?” 轻轻按着怦然跳动的心房,她有些羞怩、有些懊恼地自责:“该死的,你在胡思乱想些什么,人家明明不曾对你动过情意,你怎么这般不堪,终究是守不住曾经的誓言了么？” As the warrior of respected family, if is only the bodyguard to be good, these are the assassin to work as the person ready dead, walks for the family the person specially under shadow, even if the learned skill is high, always has slip time. Gu Zhuting saw this matter since childhood, from the young girl, then resolved the life not to marry. 身为大家族的武士,如果只做保镖还好,那些做刺客当死士,专为家族行走在阴影之下的人,哪怕艺业再高,也总有失手的时候。古竹婷从小见惯了这种事情,因此从少女时起,便立志一生不嫁。 Since the reincarnation to such others, has stepped onto such destiny, that then one day lives for day, this, why came the date to throw the husband to abandon the child exactly fully, nursed hatred, but finally. 既然已经投胎到这样的人家,走上了这样的命运,那便有一天活一天,活足这一世罢了,何必来日抛夫弃子,含恨而终。 But something are the instinct of person, daily and an appearance is not quite bad, the status to be not quite low, the intelligent ability not too bad young man in the same place, together has experienced that many, but this man can relieve her extra worries exactly, how could can she tie up her heart? 可是有些事是人的本能,天天和一个模样不太坏、身份地位不太低、智慧能力不太差的年轻男人在一起,又偏偏一起经历过那么多,而这个男人恰恰又能解除她的后顾之忧,她岂能缚得住自己的心？ The sunlight that the cot surface under buttocks was illuminated has exposed to the sun for a long time, caresses to have a dry and clear warmth. 臀下的榻面被斜照进来的阳光晒了许久,抚上去有种干爽的温暖。 Gu Zhuting thinks of an issue suddenly: „Sovereign he...... In the evening rests?” 古竹婷忽然想到一个问题:“宗主他……晚上睡哪儿？” Sets out in a hurry, bypasses the screen to look to fore room that as if no anything to be used to arrive to make the thing of bunk, a Gu Zhuting heartstrings loosen, not talking clearly is happy, is looks forward, or indulges in fantasy capriciously. 匆匆起身,绕过屏风向前堂一看,似乎没有什么可以用来抵作床铺的东西,古竹婷心弦一松,说不清是开心、是憧憬、还是心猿意马想入非非。 „Your this does not want the cheek......” “你这不要面皮的……” Gu Zhuting in scolded itself at heart bashfully, wants to play the role of that little children stance, covers own cheeks, returns to the thalamium hurriedly, she then looks unrestrainedly toward the makeup stage on, the side bronze mirror of octagonal cloud pattern, screens one smartly, if peach blossom charming and pretty face, ruddy face really real, glances billowing. 古竹婷在心里羞骂了自己一句,直想扮那小儿女姿态,捂住自己的脸颊,急忙回到内室,她情不自禁地便往妆台上望去,八角云纹的一面铜镜,映出一张俏若桃花般的娇丽面孔,朱颜真真,眼波潋滟。 Gu Zhuting looked at carefully unrestrainedly carefully, slightly makes the appraisal: „As if...... Can enter his discernment......” 古竹婷情不自禁地仔细端详了一下,略作评估:“似乎……能入得他的法眼吧……” The wind from out of the window Xu to come, this spring breeze is having the new flavor of country, gladdens the heart. 风从窗外徐来,这春风带着乡野的新鲜味道,沁人心脾。 The wind must blow, that then cannot bar up, even if has covered the window, bans it quietly to sneak in that windows the slit? 风要吹进来,那便关不住,纵然是掩了窗子,又怎禁得它悄悄钻进那窗间缝隙？ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yellow Zhu county is situated remotely, is not the key communication line, the communication guest are not many, is light by the shop business. 黄竹镇地处偏僻,不算交通要道,来往客人不多,是以小店生意清淡。 Yang Fan wants with chitchatting of storekeeper, storekeeper was abundant on the time, had the thoughts to purchase the bamboo for him in the local area specially, therefore sat down in his side, the patience introduced. 杨帆想要与掌柜的攀谈,掌柜的本来就时间充裕,又动了心思替他在本地专门收购竹子,于是在他身边坐下,耐心介绍起来。 A their conversation, has exchanged the name, named Liu Mingfu of this storekeeper, opens the job who the inn is only and is, in the family/home also has a small shop and dozens mu hillside fields. 两人一番交谈,已经互通了名姓,这掌柜的名叫刘洺甫,开客栈只是兼作的营生,家里还有一家小店铺和几十亩山田。 Liu Mingfu said: „Brother Yang, frank, you said that in this whangee range why the arundinaria japonicum is numerous? Because of cannot common people others mountaineering.” 刘洺甫道:“杨兄弟,实不相瞒,你说这黄竹岭上为何山竹众多？因为不许百姓人家登山。” Yang Fan feigns to do puzzled, is astonished however asks: „Why can't the common people mountaineering? Is that mountain the private property of which family/home?” 杨帆佯作不解,讶然问道:“为何不许百姓登山？难道那山是谁家的私产？” Liu Mingfu shakes the head saying: „That actually, because on mountain is occupied by a great character!” 刘洺甫摇摇头道:“那倒不是,只是因为山上住着一个了不起的人物！” He does intentionally mystically, about had a look, to pull down the throat tone channel: „Brother Yang, you have not heard, now the emperor parent-child, had been the Luling king of Tang Dynasty emperor, lives in the whangee range!” 他故作神秘,左右看看,压低了嗓音道:“杨兄弟,难道你不曾听说过,当今皇帝亲子,曾经做过大唐天子的庐陵王,就住在黄竹岭上啊！” „!” Yang Fan pats the forehead, is suddenly enlighted saying: „Was, this matter little brother has heard actually, but did not remember at once. Oh, this may be bad, in this case, to receive the bamboo on this mountain?” “啊！”杨帆一拍额头,恍然大悟道:“是了是了,这事儿小弟倒是听说过的,只是一时之间没有想起。哎哟,这可糟了,这样的话,岂不是收不得这山上的竹子？” Liu Mingfu smiles, said: „Actually also not so, the custom, naturally is Imperial Court sets, but this custom must the person defend. These officers who defends the mountain, lived in the local area for more than ten years, with mountain under others naturally also familiar . A your bystander, on do not certainly can the mountain, the old man want to climb mountains is actually not impossible, but before the old man are most also arrives at the railing that on the mountain the second piece goes around a mountain to grip, wants to go forward unable again.” 刘洺甫嘿嘿一笑,道:“却也不然,规矩嘛,自然是朝廷定下的,可这规矩总要人去守呀。守山的那些官兵,在本地都住了十多年了,与山下的人家自然也熟悉的很。你一个外人,当然上不得山,老汉想上山却也不是不可能,不过老汉最多也就到山上第二片环山扎下的围栏前,再想上前就不可以了。” Yang Fan said: „What storekeeper was said?” 杨帆道:“掌柜的是说？” Liu Mingfu sticks out chest, said: „If Brother Yang you trust me, this matter gives me to manage. I gave the garrison troops on mountain saying that allowing me to have the person to climb mountains to cut down the bamboo, this sold the money of bamboo you naturally to pay them, believes that had the extra income to fish, they will not comply. Later, you pay these to cut down some person wages of bamboo again and that's the end, absolutely purchase the bamboo to be cheaper than you.” 刘洺甫挺起胸膛,道:“如果杨兄弟你信得过我,这件事就交给我办。我去给山上的守军说,允许我带人上山伐竹,这卖竹的钱你当然要付给他们的,相信有外快可捞,他们不会不答应。之后,你再付那些伐竹的人一些工钱就是了,绝对比你收购竹子还要便宜。” The Yang Fan great happiness, said repeatedly: „That had the work storekeeper,...... Does not know that this method is seriously feasible? Goes back or the system seat in the bamboo that below wants to buy, or the system basket, or the establishment bamboo pillow and bamboo couch assorted utensil, the request is various, the bamboo that needs is also various, does not know whether to bring in Shimouyama, with the aim of directing.” 杨帆大喜,连声道:“那就有劳掌柜了,呃……只是不知,这个法子当真可行么？在下想买的竹子回去或制席、或制篓、或编制竹枕、竹榻各色器物,要求各不相同,需要的竹子也各不相同,不知能否带在下上山,以便指点。” „This......” “这个……” Liu Mingfu listened somewhat to hesitate slightly, is caressing the beard, does not dare to take responsibility on oneself accepted. 刘洺甫听了微微有些犹豫,抚着胡须,不敢大包大揽地应承。 Yang Fan busy say/way: „Below feared the person who hires makes some to be not studious, if not convenient, storekeeper, only need brings my previous mountain, makes a direction to everybody, later I only wait in the town then am being.” 杨帆忙道:“在下只是怕雇来的人作些无用功罢了,如果不方便的话,掌柜的只消带我上一次山,对大家做一番指点,以后我就只在镇上候着便是。” Liu Mingfu listened, this encouragingly nods, said: „Since only has words, perhaps yes. Brother Yang, do not think that the old man is not willing to help, is now, you must climb mountains the possibility, trades to do the six years ago words, your this business is big, the old man does not dare to accept this matter.” 刘洺甫听了,这才勉为其难地点点头,道:“既然只有一次的话,或许是可以的。杨兄弟,你可不要以为老汉不肯帮忙,也就是现在,你要上山才有一线可能,换作六年前的话,你这笔生意再大,老汉也是不敢应承此事的。” Yang Fan curious tunnel: „Six years ago? Has what difference with the present?” 杨帆好奇地道:“六年前？与如今有何不同？” Liu Mingfu said: „Six years ago, Cui Cishi was transferred to Honshu, the Luling king situation compared in the past had then improved, Cui Cishi sent for climbing mountains to give Luling the king to renovate the houses, has replaced the bedding, the four seasons clothes fixed time supplied, the luxurious feasting often presented that although there are by the officers is temporarily stopped, but this imperial prince crossed the image point appearance finally.” 刘洺甫道:“六年前,崔刺史调任本州,庐陵王情形便比往昔有所改善了,崔刺史派人上山给庐陵王翻盖了房舍,更换了铺盖,四季衣裳定时供应,鸡鸭鱼肉不时呈上,虽然有被官兵截留,可这位皇子总算过得像点样子了。” In the Yang Fan heart moves, he was worrying that does not know how secretly to descend the mountain the Luling kings under the numerous officers guards, if this Cui child is loyal to Li Tang , can perhaps use, therefore hurries to ask: „Said that this Cui Cishi is the old party that is loyal to Li Tang?” 杨帆心中一动,他正愁不知如何在重重官兵把守下把庐陵王神不知鬼不觉地偷下山,如果这崔嗣真是忠于李唐的,说不定可以利用一下,于是赶紧问道:“这么说,这位崔刺史是忠于李唐的旧党？” On Liu Mingfu face brings to wipe the mysterious smile, shakes the head to say slowly: „Not, because this Cui Cishi this moves from Qianzhou.” 刘洺甫脸上带着一抹神秘的微笑,缓缓摇头道:“非也,因为这位崔刺史本是从黔州调来的。” Yang Fan more listens more silly: „He moves from Qianzhou......, What relations kindly treats the Luling kings also to have with him?” 杨帆越听越糊涂:“他从黔州调来……,与他善待庐陵王又有什么关系？” !( To be continued......) !(未完待续……)
