Only is a pity is only then three liquor tables, came not to have late, many people ran over to see not to have the position, must get a pot to break the jade to burn resentfully however departs. 青石巷的孙家铺子,一年到头从不歇业,此时自然成了江湖客一壶温酒追忆过往的好去处。唯一可惜的便是只有三张酒桌,来晚就没了,不少人跑过来见没位置,只得打上一壶断玉烧悻悻然离去。 Storekeeper Sun at this time every year, the food that goes well with wine will be more sumptuous, the guest with in the shop chatted, drank 22 young wines again, was a comfortable good year. 孙掌柜每年这个时候,下酒菜都会丰盛一些,和铺子里的客人说说笑笑,再喝个二两小酒,便算是过了个舒舒坦坦的好年。 In not the big wineshop, does the liquor funeral flag of turning yellow sway, by the liquor table of corner by, Zhu Manzhi is hugging compared with the liquor bowl that the face also throws greatly, rumble sipped one, is somewhat listless: 不大的酒肆中,发黄的酒幡子摇摇晃晃,靠进角落的酒桌旁,祝满枝抱着比脸还大一丢丢的酒碗,咕噜咕噜的抿了一口,有些没精打采: „Before celebrated the new year time, my mother will complete delicious, may live it up, oh ~ good to go home......” “以前过年的时候,我娘会做好多好吃的,可热闹了,唉~好想回家……” The end of the year had two days of false, Zhu Manzhi changed the daughter family/home common small lined jacket pleated skirt, very fine, then like the neighbor young girl who who hair also combed just grew into, clever was very lovable. 年关放了两天假,祝满枝换上了女儿家常见的小袄褶裙,头发也梳的十分精致,便如同刚刚长成的邻家少女,乖乖巧巧的很是可爱。 Ning Qingye sits in the opposite, the attire of Jianghu person ties a belt as before the bamboo hat, hears the sound was saying lightly: „Jianghu person this, will live today possibly not to have tomorrow, the day according to the day, has not had yearly.” 宁清夜坐在对面,依旧江湖人的装束带着斗笠,闻声平淡道:“江湖人就这样,活过今天可能就没了明天,日子按天过,不按年过。” Walking Jianghu is the cutting edge licks the blood, this is also the honest remark, but place year 30 times said that unavoidably was somewhat unlucky. 行走江湖多是刀口舔血,这也算是实在话,不过放在年三十的时候说出来,难免有些晦气。 Zhu Manzhi puts down the liquor bowl, the chin puts on the arm is lying, is sizing up present enchantress: 祝满枝放下酒碗,下巴搁在胳膊上趴着,打量着眼前的狐媚子: „Little Ning, do you grow up in the hall since childhood?

Afterward Iron Eagle Hunting Deer, Zhang Xiang brought Wolf Guards to come, chased down along the road, my mother sent out Land of Shu me, was rescued by the Wudang person, delivered to Evergreen Monastery, the childhood matter did not record clear......” 宁清夜回想了下,轻轻摇头:“我记事起就和我娘一起隐居在深山里,每年也过年。后来铁鹰猎鹿,张翔带着狼卫找上了门,沿路追杀,我娘把我送出了蜀地,被武当的人救下,送到了长青观,小时候的事儿也记不清了……” „Oh ~ pitiful......” “唉~可怜……” Zhu Manzhi sighed spookily, carried the liquor bowl to want with Ning Qingye to bump, Ning Qingye actually does not respond, selected the eyebrow slightly: „For serveral days you caught more than ten young destructive people, made much money?” 祝满枝幽幽叹了口气,端起酒碗想和宁清夜碰一下,宁清夜却是不搭理,微微挑眉:“这些天你抓了十几个小蟊贼,挣了不少银子吧？” Zhu Manzhi listless small face one stiff, sat straight several points, the vision shone: „Un...... rids the people of an evil, is I because of this/should doing...... money anything, is the monthly salary......” 祝满枝没精打采的小脸儿一僵,坐直了几分,目光忽闪:“嗯……为民除害,是我因该做的……银子什么的,都是月俸……” Ning Qingye light snort/hum: „You changed the body new skirt, the face powder that but can also use with rich and powerful family madame young lady, depends on Government Office that salary, perhaps insufficient......” 宁清夜淡淡哼了一声:“你换了身新裙子,还用上了豪门夫人小姐才会用的香粉,就凭衙门那点俸禄,恐怕不够……” „Hee hee......” Zhu Manzhi blinks, pulls out block rouge to place on the table from the bosom: „You did not say that I almost forgot, Government Office enjoyed a money, I gave back to you to buy the box rouge......” “嘻嘻……”祝满枝眨了眨眼睛,从怀里掏出一小盒胭脂放在桌上:“你不说我差点忘了,衙门是赏了点银子,我还给你买了盒胭脂……” Ning Qingye shoves open the rouge box with the scabbard, the look is light: „Helps you strive to handle matters, the Jianghu custom you should be clear.” 宁清夜用剑鞘将胭脂盒推开,眼神平淡:“帮你出力办事,江湖规矩你应该清楚。” „Our sentiment with the sisters, proposes money to hurt feelings much......” “咱们情同姐妹,提银子多伤感情……” „Who is your older sister?” “谁是你姐姐？” „I am your older sister...... not, you are my elder sister......” “我是你姐姐……哦不,你是我姐姐……” Zhu Manzhi starts to install to be drunk ambiguously, lay toward the table on does not have sound. 祝满枝含含糊糊开始装醉,往桌子上一趴就没声儿了。 Ning Qingye inspires, the big new year's celebration, cancelled the thought of beginning finally, slightly is stuttering the food and wine. 宁清夜吸了口气,大过年的,最终还是打消了动手的念头,小口吃着酒菜。 The dim light of night is strong gradually, two people far away from hometown, it seems like must pass the Eve outside. 夜色渐浓,远离故乡的两人,看来就要这么在外面渡过除夕夜。 Ning Qingye is saying the manager to be big, except revenging outside, is actually very interested in the lively Chang'an marketplace, wants to awaken Zhu Manzhi that installs to be drunk to go to the street together to stroll, a conversation sound suddenly passed from the lane: 宁清夜在道馆长大,除开报仇外,其实对繁华的长安市井挺感兴趣,本想叫醒装醉的祝满枝一起去街上转转,一阵交谈声忽的的从巷子里传了过来: „...... Is this wineshop, was very famous, many Jianghu seniors in Chang'an had come before......” “……就是这家酒铺,在长安很有名气,以前不少江湖前辈都来过……” „Before...... snort/hum — me, hear of masters have mentioned here, in the past sought a swindler to help paint pictures, from afar rushed to here to buy the pot nice wine to deliver, result that swindler gave a pretext anything ‚world beautiful woman was difficult like picture’, reneged on a promise......” “……哼—我以前听师父说起过这里,当年去寻一个骗子帮忙画画,千里迢迢跑到这儿买了壶好酒送过去,结果那骗子借口说什么‘世间美人再难如画’,出尔反尔……” Ning Qingye long, shapely eyebrows was light, maintains composure then looked at the eye. The person who outside not the big wineshop, four foreign lands dress up accompanies to walk, what is the head is the red clothes female, pulls white camel, the tissue is obstructing hat, figure is losing face wear a look of. 宁清夜柳眉轻蹙,不动声色回头看了眼。不大的酒铺外,四个异域打扮的人结伴行走,为首的是个红衣女子,牵着白骆驼,薄纱遮面带着维帽,身段儿十分出彩。 Storekeeper Sun naturally also heard this dialogue, sizes up four people of several curiously, opens the mouth with the gas channel/angrily said: 孙掌柜自然也听到了这番对话,好奇打量四人几眼,开口和气道: „What young lady said is Xu Danqing that wave vagabond? Oh ~ the boy always fails to keep one's word, tied down made person young lady run to buy the liquor, who going back to have the shadow...... your master is? Perhaps the old man I still remembers......” “姑娘说的是徐丹青那浪荡子？唉~那小子从来言而无信,被人缠住了就让人姑娘跑来买酒,回去就没影了……你师父是谁？老头儿我说不定还记得……” Four people of footsteps, obviously reveal several points of discretion. 四人脚步一顿,明显露出几分谨慎。 Zhongli Chuchu and Huyan Jie spoke thoughtlessly the conversation, saw Storekeeper Sun to answer, for against exposed status, was only along with the tastes: „Storekeeper did not know, comes the pot liquor.” 钟离楚楚和呼延杰只是随口交谈,见孙掌柜搭腔,为防暴露身份,只是随口道:“掌柜不认识,来壶酒。” Storekeeper Sun sees that are not many asked that on Jianghu always has not the convenient time, the shaking the head chuckle is fetching the liquor water. 孙掌柜见状也不多问,江湖上总有不方便的时候,摇头轻笑打着酒水。 Zhongli Chuchu thought that then this place was not suitable stays for a long time, after receiving the wine pot, left Sun Family Store quickly. 钟离楚楚觉得这地方不宜久留,接过酒壶后便快步离开了孙家铺子。 After Ning Qingye sizes up several people of attire, recalled slightly, then raised the sword to set out the wineshop, tagged along after that with. 宁清夜打量几人装束后,稍微回忆了下,便提着剑起身出了酒肆,尾随其后跟了上去。 But Zhu Manzhi that the lying clothing rests raised the head at this time, after determining Ning Qingye walks away, relaxes, sets out pays up, finding the Storekeeper Sun expression is strange, inquired the sentence curiously: 而趴着装睡的祝满枝此时才抬起头来,确定宁清夜走远后才松了口气,起身结账的时候,瞧见孙掌柜表情古怪,好奇询问了句: „Old Sun does, you know just now the woman of that red clothes?” “孙老伯,你认识方才那红衣服的女人？” Storekeeper Sun hehe smiled the sound: „Did not know, who un...... the master of your friend is, can you hear?” 孙掌柜呵呵笑了声:“不认识,嗯……你那朋友的师父是谁,你应当听说过吧？” Zhu Manzhi wrapped many words from the Ning Qingye mouth for these days, naturally nods: „Alone autumn honorable person, heard before , is a big fox...... the great beauty, originally must be the empress, the escaping marriage was chased down the family/home.” 祝满枝这几天从宁清夜口中套了不少话,自然是点了点头:“独秋真人,听说以前也是个大狐……大美人,本来要当皇后的,逃婚被追杀才出的家。” Storekeeper Sun sighed: „Becoming monk Taoism asylum to evade the investigation of royal government and Tang Family, actually does not evade the envy of hundred flowers group butterfly, daily hides in Evergreen Monastery does not dare to leave the gate, but also some people come to stir up trouble......” 孙掌柜叹了口气:“出家得道家庇护能躲过朝廷和唐家的追究,却躲不过百花群蝶的嫉妒,天天躲在长青观连门都不敢出,还有人上门挑事儿……” Zhu Manzhi may be curious to these Jianghu Eight Trigrams (gossip), winks the big eye saying: „Oh ~ quite pitiful, Little Ning later estimates also similarly, now goes out does not dare to beam with joy......” 祝满枝对这些江湖八卦可好奇了,眨着大眼睛道:“哎哟~好可怜,小宁以后估计也差不多,现在出门都不敢露脸……” „That is natural, ‚peony’ these four characters, first ’ is like ‚ land under heaven, is not good to work as. However Young Lady Zhu surely does not have this worry, does not need to worry about this matter.” “那是自然,‘天香国色’这四个字,就和‘天下第一’一样,不是那么好当的。不过祝姑娘肯定没这烦恼,不用操心这事儿。” „Un.” Zhu Manzhi nods, does not feel slightly right, stares the big eye saying: “嗯。”祝满枝点了点头,稍许又觉得不对劲,瞪着大眼睛道: „Does storekeeper, how you curse at people?” “掌柜的,你怎么骂人呢？” „Hehe......” Storekeeper Sun curls the lip: „Old was says young lady to be young, does not have to be long.” “呵呵……”孙掌柜撇撇嘴:“老老儿是说姑娘年纪还小,没长开。” „This also almost......” “这还差不多……” ...... ……
