Chapter 43 The Scholar

(There are many typos in the previous section, I'm really sorry, I will review the manuscript once later before uploading)

There have been fewer people coming and going to the pharmacy shop recently, which makes Nangong Jianyu feel strange, especially the girl Xun'er. She ran out after having something to do and had nothing to do recently. Nangong Jianyu felt that the girl was very abnormal and often sat alone and smiled foolishly.

Nangong Jianyu was sitting in the medicine shop, holding the invincible martial arts that Poisonous Grandma exchanged for him. He looked at the strange contents in the martial arts, and couldn't believe it. How could a fraudulent old woman believe that there are invincible martial arts in this world?

"Big Monkey, why didn't you see Xun'er again? Where is the person?"

Liu Dahou was grabbed by Nangong Jianyu when he passed by Nangong Jianyu. Not only was he curious that Xun'er was gone, but even Mayalan, who was lying on the medicine shop, often couldn't see people recently.

"Oh...she should be going...I don't know."

Liu Dahou's eyes had betrayed him. Nangong Jianyu kicked Liu Dahou in the leg and forced Liu Dahou to tell the truth. Liu Dahou was kicked by Nangong Jianyu and begged for mercy desperately.

"Brother...Don't kick it...I said it's not okay?"

Liu Dahou couldn't hide, so he told Nangong Jianyu that Xun'er and Mayalan had always gone to a teahouse on the other side of Nan Street to listen to stories, and it was like being caught in an evil spirit and went there at the time.

"A storyteller? A storyteller caught their souls away? Big monkey, please clean up and accompany me to collect the medicinal materials later."

Nangong Jianyu wanted those poisonous weeds and flowers to be here today. When he just received the list of medicinal materials, Qin Ao sent someone to ask Qin Huan, and he wanted to know what Nangong Jianyu wanted to make so many poisonous weeds.

At noon, Nangong Jianyu and Liu Dahou collected the poisonous weeds and sent them to the poisonous mother-in-law. Nangong Jianyu asked Liu Dahou to take him to the teahouse in Nanjie. He wanted to see what the charm of the storyteller was, which actually made Xun'er and Mayalan so fascinated.

In Huaiyue Tower, Nan Street, before going upstairs, he heard screams from inside. Nangong Jianyu and Liu Dahou were still stopped by the waiter, saying that Huaiyue Tower was full of customers and wanted them to come again tomorrow.

"Oh, Mr. Nangong...a rare guest!"

Nangong Jianyu didn't want to make things difficult for others, so he was about to turn around and leave. The boss of Huaiyue Tower happened to see Nangong Jianyu upstairs. The boss of Huaiyue Tower was at the scene.

"Do you know me?"

Nangong Jianyu naturally didn't know that the one who greeted him was the boss of Huaiyuelou. Although he became the protagonist at the banquet that day, the merchants did not remember anyone at the banquet.

"Haha, bring Mr. Nangong up."

The boss of Huaiyuelou upstairs asked the waiter to take Nangong Jianyu upstairs. The room upstairs was the room used by the boss of Huaiyuelou to entertain VIPs, and he could only use it himself on weekdays.

This room has a great lighting. You can watch the pedestrians coming and going on the South Street and see who are all downstairs. If you are a high-ranking official, the boss of Huaiyuelou can see it, and naturally you can receive it personally.

"Oh, Mr. Nangong is a real distinguished guest. I, Wang Bohuai, really didn't dare to think that Mr. Nangong could visit my small teahouse."

Wang Bohuai warmly invited Nangong Jianyu and Liu Dahou to sit down, but Nangong Jianyu asked Liu Dahou to find Xun'er and Mayalan, but did not stay.

"Mr. Wang, it's a good business."

When entering the teahouse, a stage was set up in the middle of the teahouse, and the teamen all sat around the stage. The storyteller was on the middle stage to tell everyone, and the second floor was a private room for use by aristocratic merchants.

"Everywhere, it's all for the young master. I'm here recently. If he hadn't said this book well, I wouldn't have such a good business."

Wang Bohuai was so happy to see the teahouse full of guests. Before the scholar came, his teahouse business could only be considered ordinary.

"What does this person say about the book?"

Nangong Jianyu saw the tea guests screaming sometimes, and sometimes slapped the table to applaud, but he didn't pay much attention to what the scholar was saying.

"Originally, the gentleman talked about some historical records in my place, but the guests were not interested in these things. Later, the gentleman began to talk about some of the demons and ghosts that the people like to hear. Not to mention, they attracted these tea guests in an instant."

The waiter came to the room with tea, put it down, and then retreated. Wang Bohuai picked up the tea bowl and invited Nangong Jianyu to taste it. The tea in the tea bowl was bright yellow and the soup was clear. Only a piece of tea floated in the middle of the tea. Smelling the fragrance of tea into the nose, exuding the spirit and enhancing the energy.

“Good tea…”

Nangong Jianyu took a short sip and sincerely exclaimed that this tea is no worse than the tea he brought from Yangming Mountain. Just one piece of tea can make such a top-notch tea soup. Nangong Jianyu has no reason not to praise it.

"Haha, if Mr. Nangong likes it, I'll send someone to prepare some for the master later."

There have been many rumors about Nangong Jianyu in Qingyunzhou recently, especially after he resisted the order, the emperor did not blame him. Businessmen like Wang Bohuai naturally knew the interests. He knew that he would not suffer any losses in the future if he could climb Nangong Jianyu.

"Thank you Meiyi, Jian Yu is better off obeying your orders than respect."

This tea is indeed liked by Nangong Jianyu. Looking at the tea in the tea bowl, I couldn't help but taste it again. Tea is not as good as wine, but it tastes sweet.

"I see there is a person below. Should Mr. Nangong go down to listen to the interesting stories of demons and ghosts mentioned by the scholar? Maybe the master likes to listen to them too."

Wang Bohuai invited Nangong Jianyu to listen to the ghostly and monsters that the scholar said. Maybe Nangong Jianyu likes to listen to these things and can communicate with him frequently in the future.

"There are no monsters and ghosts in this world? The so-called monsters and ghosts are just human hearts. Who has never done anything against their conscience? Who has never deceived others by lies? Demons and ghosts are all illusions derived from the world to punish themselves. But over time, these imaginary things have become human hearts intimidation and cursing others' imaginations. People... haha... are the best at deceiving themselves."

Nangong Jianyu's words made Wang Bohuai feel a lot of fluctuations. He didn't expect that Nangong Jianyu was so young that he could say these words, and there might not be a second one in Qingyunzhou.

"Young Master Nangong is really not an ordinary person. Bo Huai admires this very much. If the young master needs Bo Huai in the future, Bo Huai will definitely be obsessed with it."

Wang Bohuai was expressing his position to Nangong Jianyu. How could Nangong Jianyu have no reason? Although he and Wang Bohuai met for the first time, although this person was a businessman, he was not the kind of treacherous person.

"I won't disturb you anymore when my people are here. Thank you Boss Wang for your good tea."

Wang Bohuai had already asked the waiter to prepare the tea. When Liu Dahou brought Xun'er and Mayailan, Wang Bohuai personally handed the tea to Nangong Jianyu, and also remembered the appearance of Xun'er and Mayailan.

"Young Master Nangong walked slowly."

Wang Bohuai sent the four people outside the teahouse. Nangong Jianyu hugged Wang Bohuai and left. The four people left in the eyes of Wang Bohuai.

"Shopkeeper, that person was Nangong Jianyu just now?"

The scholar stood beside Wang Bohuai at some point and asked, and suddenly someone appeared beside him, which scared Wang Bohuai and was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was the scholar, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"That's right, that's Nangong Jianyu, the son of the Nangong family."

Wang Bohuai pointed at Nangong Jianyu who was leaving. After he said that, he frowned and looked at the scholar with a strange look, thinking to himself how the scholar was curious about Nangong Jianyu coming.

"This life is extraordinary, and the shopkeeper has an extraordinary vision."

After the scholar finished speaking, he looked at the direction where Nangong Jianyu left, but he did not take it back for a long time. Wang Bohuai, who was beside him, lowered his head and thought about what the scholar had just said to him.

"By the way, the shopkeeper should pay me the salary. From tomorrow, I won't tell you the book."

The scholar was about to leave, which made Wang Bohuai so anxious. His business in Huaiyuelou had just improved, and the scholar said he was about to leave. How could he not be anxious?

"I said sir, my business has just improved. Now that you leave, will I lose business again?"

"Shopkeeper, I can't talk about books for you all my life. Scholars have their own pride. How can your teahouse hold my heart? I already know where I should go. Maybe I will meet the shopkeeper in the future."

The scholar could not be kept, and Wang Bohuai could not force him to stay. He asked the scholar to go to the counter to pay, and before leaving, he gave the scholar some more silver, which moved the scholar very much.

After leaving Huaiyue Tower, the scholar inquired about the medicine shop all the way and stood in front of the medicine shop. The scholar did not hesitate. As soon as he entered the medicine shop, Xun'er screamed and rushed forward to pull the scholar.

"Oh my God, is this true? Is it true?"

Xun'er's scream immediately attracted the attention of others. Many of them had heard of scholars' stories and immediately surrounded the scholars.

Nangong Jianyu thought something was happening in front of him in the backyard, but heard a noise. He went to the pharmacy and saw a group of people surrounding the storyteller. He was curious about why the scholar came here.

When the scholar saw Nangong Jianyu's eyes shining, he looked excited, and he jumped up and waved his hand at Nangong Jianyu.

"idiot!"

Nangong Jianyu glanced at the scholar and turned around to the backyard without looking back. The scholar was confused at the time. Seeing that Nangong Jianyu had left, he was surrounded by the crowd and could not squeeze out, so he could only be anxious.

"Okay, everyone will part. Are you the one who is a broken scholar?"

Liu Dahou couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He shouted loudly at the top of his voice. The person surrounding the scholar was frightened by him and immediately dispersed. The monkey picked up the scholar and walked to the door of the medicine shop, and threw the person out directly.

"Big Monkey, what are you doing?"

When Xun'er saw the big monkey throwing the scholar out, she immediately became unhappy. She ran out to help the scholar up and asked the scholar with concern if he had fallen.

"Thank you, my little son, I'm fine, but I have something to ask for, can I take me to see Nangong Jianyu?"

The scholar knew that Xun'er was the person next to Nangong Jianyu. He saw them leaving together in the teahouse, but he thought Xun'er was Nangong Jianyu's maid.

"You want to see my brother? What are you doing when you see him?"

Xun'er's eyes were full of curiosity. He didn't expect that the scholar came to the medicine shop to find Nangong Jianyu, but they had never met each other before.
