Hello Chang'an Chapter 361

 Wang Yue's lukewarm temperament hides overly ambitious ideas.

When he encounters problems, he always makes various extended inferences in his mind. A common example is like when he saw Chang Sui Ning come in just now, his mind will quickly analyze the current situation and make what he considers to be the most accurate judgment—

Although his judgment was wrong, from his perspective, his judgment was indeed the most likely and not baseless. It's just that Chang Sui Ning appeared here, which really deviated from common sense. He was deliberately deceived by his friends and developed a cognitive blind spot.

There are also many unusual thoughts in his mind. For example, when he climbs a height, he will always fantasize about falling to his death from a high place; when he is moving a flower pot at home, he will flash in his mind that he will fall while holding the pot. , the basin is broken, and the sharp porcelain happens to be stuck in my throat; when eating, I often fantasize about being stabbed to death by two chopsticks, choking to death on food, and it happens most frequently when my mother is cooking...

When the attack is severe, it is not a problem to die in my head hundreds or eighty times every day.

All in all, his brain is always overly active. This phenomenon has both advantages and disadvantages. He has been good at reasoning since he was a child, and he is the best among his peers in arithmetic. Moreover, he is good at painting fairyland, with countless imaginations in his mind, and his paintings have an uninhibited fairy spirit. He is well-known in the painting circles in Qiantang and even the entire Jiangnan.

There are also many shortcomings. For example, his mind spins too fast and he cannot stop. He occasionally makes comments that give people the impression that "Wang Wangshan is suspected of having a brain disease."

And it is precisely because his ideas are always too complicated and confusing that Luo Guanlin is said to be "good at planning but not good at making decisions", which also creates his temperament of being difficult to make decisions when encountering problems.

At this moment, Wang Yue's "phantom death syndrome" broke out completely. Listening to Chang Sui Ning's conclusion about the outcome of the Yue King's uprising, he had imagined more than ten kinds of scenarios in his mind after the Yue King's uprising failed. Way to die.

Those who were beheaded, those whose bodies were quartered, those who were implicated in nine tribes, those whose wives and children were separated, those who had rotten eggs and rotten cabbage smashed into their faces when paraded in public, those who died on the way to escape, those who cried bitterly when being judged in the Hall of Hell...

The sense of substitution was so strong that Wang Yue could not help but curse himself in his heart for not being able to recognize people clearly.

But these were all immediate thoughts for a moment. He was also very clear about Chang Suining's intentions. At this moment, facing Chang Suining's "kind reminder", he said cautiously and roundaboutly: "Yes, thank you Chang Suining for the reminder..."

He didn't say he wouldn't vote for the King of Yue, nor did he say he was willing to stay.

Everything happened too fast for him today. His trip was supposed to confirm that his friend's life and death were in danger, but instead he fell into a life-and-death dilemma!

Thinking of Luo Guanlin's words "I am a human, not a ghost", Wang Yue secretly looked at him with resentful eyes - many times, humans are scarier than ghosts!

Chang Sui Ning had no intention of forcing Wang Yue to make a decision on the spot. Instead, he served wine and food first and treated him seriously.

Anyway, today's Jiangdu is just a huge sack. Come here, you will feel "at home" sooner or later.

She has always been patient with talented people. What's more, she doesn't need to twist this melon herself. She will go to the army tomorrow. She only needs to leave a decent good impression on the other party today. Next, people will Leave it to Luo Guanlin to lobby.

After finishing the meal, the group of people left the restaurant together. Chang Sui Ning looked at Wang Yue who got into the same carriage as Luo Guanlin, and felt very at ease - it would be nice to have someone at his disposal, and he didn't have to twist the melon himself.

Wang Yue, who seemed to be invited but was actually forced to be a guest at the Governor's Mansion, just got on the carriage and left Chang Suining's sight. He put away his forced smile and immediately started questioning and accusing his friends.

Luo Guanlin let the violent wind and rain envelope him. After his friend vented his anger, he said: "If you don't come to Jiangdu, where can you go? To serve the King of Yue? He has asked people to come to his door twice. If you insist on not obeying, I'm afraid, It's going to be a big disaster.”

Wang Yue: "...Even if my family leaves Qiantang to escape disaster, I don't necessarily have to come to Jiangdu!"

"Avoiding disaster? Nowadays, disasters are happening all over the place. Can you avoid it?" Luo Guanlin asked back: "And you said that I don't have the power to restrain a chicken. Could it be that you do? You have a family of nearly a hundred people. What can you do to avoid them? What's wrong with you, you have to spend a whole day choosing a pen in the pen shop?"

"How can it be a whole day, only two or three hours? Don't exaggerate..." Wang Yue was anxious and uneasy: "Even so, you should not trick me into coming to Jiangdu and make this decision for me without permission! "

Luo Guanlin said with a calm expression: "When you were young, you knew that you were not good at making decisions, so you often asked me to make decisions for you. You and I also agreed that if we achieve success in the future, we will never forget each other, but we will plan for each other -"

Hearing his friend talk about what happened when he was young, and knowing that the other party was planning for himself, Wang Yue's anger subsided a little, and he could not help but choke: "It's been an old story for many years, and you also said that you were going to the capital. Knocking on the emperor's door and being a virtuous minister for eternity... What's the result? You turned around and rebelled! This is not knocking on the emperor's door. You are clearly breaking down the door!”

Luo Guanlin, whose wound was exposed, looked uneasy for a while: "...Wang Wangshan, I recommend you with good intentions, so don't keep pushing yourself further."

"What kind of kindness do you have?" Wang Yue raised his hands: "You just had to tie me up with a rope and stuff me into a sack!"

Luo Guanlin: "..." Or why the academy masters always said that Wang Wangshan had the highest understanding.

Seeing that Wang Yue was about to complain again, Luo Guanlin raised his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, don't be impatient for a moment."

He promised: "You can live peacefully in the governor's house for a while and think about this matter seriously. Next, the governor will go to the army and I don't have time to really tie you up. If you still have no intention of it, I will do it myself." There is a way to get you out of Jiangdu."

For this reason, Wang Yue, who was not very angry at all, felt relieved. He seemed to be angrily drinking a bowl of tea. Seeing Luo Guanlin lift the curtain, he also looked out of the car with the empty tea bowl.

As soon as the car was quiet, the sounds from outside the car came in. At this moment, the carriage was about to turn onto a long street. There was a long queue in the streets and alleys. Wang Yue asked casually: "What is that for?" ?”

"They should be recruiting workers."

"I see there are many women..." Wang Yue didn't know what he thought of, and looked at Luo Guanlin: "It is rumored that Jiangdu now encourages more women to go out to work... Are they all true?"

Luo Guanlin had always had mixed feelings about this matter, so he just said "hmm" indifferently.

Wang Yue looked at the situation outside the car again, with more exploration and thinking in his eyes.

The carriage entered the street and drove slowly. Luo Guanlin simply hung up the curtains so that Wang Yue could see the situation on the street more clearly.

The street was full of people. Wang Yue counted carefully. At least eight of the ten shops along the street were opened. There was a tea shop with many tables set up outside the shop, occupying the street. Two officers and soldiers with swords on their waists were chatting with the tea shop owner. As he spoke, the hunchbacked shopkeeper smiled and clasped his hands, and immediately asked the waiters to move the tables and stools inside, leaving only two tables outside the door. When one of the officers and soldiers nodded, the shopkeeper raised his hand and invited the two of them in for tea. The two refused, left the place, and continued patrolling along the street.

After seeing off the officers and soldiers, the shopkeeper turned around and apologized to the tea guests sitting outside who had moved the table just now. There were four or five people at the table, all of whom looked like scholars. Someone sat down again, waved his hand and said "no obstruction", and someone said "The city of Jiangdu is really in good order now", and some people said, "The two officials just now were on official business, and they did not use their power to bully others or take the opportunity to ask for benefits."

The shopkeeper responded, poured tea for them personally, smiled and asked casually: "You must be distinguished guests from out of town, right?"

One of them laughed and replied: "He's from out of town, so he's not a distinguished guest!"

"Everyone seems to be a scholar at first glance, but are you also here for the Wueryuan newly built by our Jiangdu Governor?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's words "Yes", several people understood clearly. It seemed that many people had come after hearing the news, so they asked the shopkeeper for the news.

Most of the teahouse owners are talkative, and the shopkeeper is happy to talk about this topic. Among other things, after taking back Yangzhou from the governor, restoring order in the city, and promulgating many new decrees, many outsiders came and his business followed. It's getting better. What is a good official? For ordinary people like them who do small businesses to make a living, it is a great official to be able to live a stable life while also providing them with a livelihood to support their families!

No matter who he mentioned the new governor to, he always got a thumbs up.

At this moment, when I was talking about Wuer Yuan to these scholars, the shopkeeper Yourong Yan pointed his hand towards the north: "Look, everyone, it's built there!"

The group of literati all raised their heads and looked away.

Wang Yue in the car also looked in that direction, but his line of sight in the car was blocked and he couldn't see much.

At this time, a hawker selling candy figures passed by outside the car and was hit by several playful children. The hawker let out an ouch and hit the slow-moving carriage. The candy figures he was carrying on his shoulders rolled in and flew in. Wang Yue subconsciously raised his hand and caught it.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! Please forgive me, noble man!" The sweaty hawker apologized hastily. Wang Yuegang let out a "hey" and saw the hawker quickly chasing after the children.

Wang Yue looked at the candy figure in his hand: "This..."

Luo Guanlin took a look and said, "Jiangdu is very hospitable. Take it."

Wang Yue laughed helplessly, took a look at the candy figure, and then looked out the window. He couldn't help but sigh: "It really doesn't look like it has just passed through a land devastated by war... It is indeed Jiangdu, full of vitality."

Luo Guanlin: "It's not just the vitality of Jiangdu itself."

There is no doubt that Jiang's rapid recovery is closely related to Chang Suining's practical and effective governance methods.

She is keen and diligent. He has never seen her avoid laziness these days. She doesn't seem to get tired and is really enjoying it.

There was a mix of cries on the street, and a man pushing a wheelbarrow filled with buckets shouted "borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow". The crowd moved out of the way, and a man in brocade clothes hurriedly raised the birdcage in his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Rush to reincarnate!"

Wang Yue looked beyond the cluttered crowd to a restaurant across the street. A woman stood outside the restaurant, enthusiastically inviting guests to come in for dinner.

The woman wrapped her hair with a blue floral cloth and put a white sweat towel on her shoulders. She was clean and tidy, her complexion was slightly dark, and her smile was very simple.

The young man in brocade clothes carrying the birdcage walked over, glanced at the signboard above the restaurant, and said with a smile: "...It turns out it's a place to eat. The woman opened the door to welcome guests. I didn't think it was a flower shop that opened so early. It's Zhang!”

A group of friends behind him cheered and responded: "That's Mr. Liu's eyesight. Which flower house's receptionist would look like this!"

"That's right, if Hua Niang looks like this, she might as well close her shop as soon as possible!"

The woman looked at them with ridicule, her face turned red for a moment, she wanted to retort, but she held it back.

The waiters in the restaurant looked at this scene with schadenfreude.

As the carriage was driving, Wang Yue could only faintly hear the first sentence and sighed. This situation must not be an exception.

Things that have been inherent for thousands of years cannot be eliminated by a single decree, but it is a very rare beginning that this decree can be implemented.

Outside the restaurant, the man in brocade clothes stared at the woman's flushed and embarrassed face, and was laughing when he suddenly heard a man's voice behind him: "I greet guests well, but if this husband can't afford it, If you don't want to be a host, you don't have to go in. Why bother to show off your face and show off your money?”

"Who said I can't afford it!" The man in brocade clothes turned around in shame, and saw the person speaking leading a brown horse. He was more than seven feet tall, about thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a pair of temples. The long eyebrows are very thick and eye-catching.

He had a smile on his face, long boots on his feet, and a long box on his back. He didn't know what he was carrying, but he had a chivalrous air about him.

Seeing his stature and aura, the aura of the man in brocade immediately weakened a lot. For the sake of face, he could only say to the people around him: "Go in, we will eat here today!"

With that said, he strode towards the store and said loudly: "Bring out all the good wine and food, I have a lot of money!"

The woman nodded gratefully to the long-browed man before following him in.

The man led the horse away and met an old man face to face. He asked, "May I ask my husband, does the Governor's Mansion go straight ahead?"

Not long after, in the restaurant, when he saw a whole table filled with all kinds of meat and vegetables, which were worth a lot of money at first sight, the man in Jinyi felt a pain in his body - just a small shop... there are so many varieties!

The shopkeeper behind the counter was in a good mood and waved to the waiter beside him: "What are you doing standing around? Go and entertain the distinguished guests!"

The man curled his lips and stepped forward reluctantly.

The store now employs two women, which is not pleasing to the eye. They can just wash dishes in the backyard peacefully, but one of them is not satisfied yet and wants to go to the front hall to get more. The monthly fee is high... He originally told the shopkeeper that a woman staying in the front hall would probably affect the Feng Shui business, so he asked the woman to go outside the shop to attract diners, just to prove to the shopkeeper that he was not telling lies -

This is good, because the woman just stood up and got taken advantage of! The shopkeeper smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes!

As she passed the man, the woman smiled.

The waiter was upset, but he could only entertain the group of people with a smile on his face.

When the woman came to the backyard, her smile faded, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

I didn't break the chapter today. Before good night, I would like to recommend a book to everyone: "The Xuanmen ancestors were read in their minds, and the whole family was addicted to becoming villains"
