Run a B&B and receive Wu Song at the beginning

"My dear brother, thank you for taking care of the yellow gelding."

Seeing Li Yu striding towards him, Qin Qiong had mixed feelings and quickly thanked him.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the yellow gelding was not only stronger, but also in better spirits. The hair all over his body was shiny, as if he had returned to his prime.

Li Yu stroked the yellow gelding's neck and said:

"It likes to eat high-protein feed. It has been fed like this recently... The second brother came over suddenly. Is the case closed?"

Qin Qiong cleaned the horse hair on the brush:

"Not yet. Brother Yu is still in jail in Tiantang County. Brother Shan Xian used money and all the county officials are acquaintances. The victim received a large amount of compensation and did not pursue any charges, so he did not wear the shackles."

After the murder happened, the people from the county government notified Shan Xiongxin. This old man was spreading money like water, and he had taken care of the entire county government.

It's so comfortable to have such a friend.

"Brother Yu lives in a single cell, and there is no one to take care of him at night, so he came over at night to take a look...Why are there several targets erected in the corner? Is anyone practicing bow and arrow?"

"It's not a bow and arrow, it's what Mu Guiying used to practice throwing knives."

Li Yu told the story of Mu Guiying's arrival, and then said:

"Second brother, is your cell phone still charged? I downloaded "The Romance of the Yang Family" for you. If you get bored, look through it to avoid not recognizing it next time."

"There is still electricity. Brother Shan Xian just recharged it for me today when he took it outside."

Qin Qiong has a portable solar charging panel that can charge mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other supplies. These are included in the gift package for all new administrators.

After taking his mobile phone, Li Yu connected to WiFi and cached the traditional Chinese version of "The Romance of the Yang Family", as well as some costume movies and TV dramas that were suitable for passing the time.

After Qin Qiong had taken care of the yellow gelding, Li Yu led him to the restaurant to get something to eat.

Although there are people taking care of him in the prison, he is still in prison after all, and his diet is definitely not as comfortable as outside. When Brother Qin comes over, he can improve his life and pack some cooked food and liquor to take with him.

When the time comes, I play with my mobile phone, have a piece of braised pork from time to time, and take a sip of white wine. Isn't this the weekend life of contemporary migrant workers?

"Sir, blacksmithing is about to begin... Huh? Brother Shubao, you are here. Have you endured hardship in prison? My little sister bought a lot of snacks two days ago. You can take them back to eat."

Diao Chan originally wanted to urge Li Yu to go to the scenic spot to see the iron flowers, but if he delayed further, he would not be able to get a good seat.

Unexpectedly, her brother Shubao, who had not shown up for nearly a week, came. Without waiting for Qin Qiong to refuse, she trotted back upstairs and packed a large bag of snacks.

By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Qin Qiong had already torn up the roast chicken and started drinking.

"Where's Erlang?"

"There will be a blacksmith performance in the scenic spot tonight. He was worried about an accident and went to the scene in advance."

Putting a bag full of snacks on the dining table next to her, Diao Chan said with a smile:

"Brother Erlang is now the security director of Shitouzhai Village. He is several levels lower than he used to be, but he never tires of it. He is busy with village affairs every day and doesn't even bother to build a house."

Wu Song is very serious about his work and spends almost all his time in the village during the day.

However, the villagers of Shitou Village did not disappoint him. Several elderly people went up to the mountain early every day to help Wu Song with the construction of his new house. Some details were even stricter than Wu Song's.

Qin Qiong heard this and said with a smile:

"I am waiting for a few people. Erlang has completely entered the world. In three to five years, I am afraid that he will no longer look like the one in the book and will completely become a part of the real world."

He was quite envious, but thinking about his family and friends in the Sui and Tang world, he gave up the idea of ​​staying in the real world.

Let's just make do with being the future Duke of the Kingdom, and let Erlang experience life in the real world.

Li Yu felt that after Wu Song entered the world, he would definitely integrate into this society completely, but some of his characteristics and settings as a Water Margin hero would still be preserved.

Qin Qiong took a sip of liquor and said to Li Yu:

"Brother Xian, can you give Brother Yu a room? I haven't taken a shower since I entered the prison. Now that I'm here today, I have to take a good shower."

Before Li Yu could speak, Diao Chan volunteered:

"Little sister, go make arrangements."

After saying that, she left the restaurant and went to the front desk to find Xiaoju to book a room.

Qin Qiong looked at Diao Chan's leaving figure and said:

"Erlang has integrated into society so smoothly. Miss Diaochan should be quite anxious. Dear brother, please comfort her and don't make her sad."

"Don't worry, second brother, I will take good care of her."

When Diao Chan came over with the room card, she gave Qin Qiong a round-neck robe popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties as a change of clothes.

Qin Qiong cupped his hands and thanked:

"You guys go and see the blacksmith. Brother Yu, after eating, go upstairs and wash up. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Li Yu didn't even treat him politely:

"Okay, let's chat with my second brother when we get back."

After saying that, Li Yu and Diao Chan came to the gate together, preparing to drive to the scenic spot to watch tonight's blacksmith performance.

"Sir, why do I feel that Brother Shubao is not in a good mood?"

After getting in the car, Diao Chan muttered and fastened her seat belt skillfully.

Li Yu started the car:

"I guess I feel a little depressed because I think that my destiny cannot be changed."

You can't get around the original plot by going around and around, and no one will be happy.

When they drove to the bottom of the mountain, the blacksmithing process had already begun. The two of them did not squeeze into the crowd, but found a seat slightly further away to watch quietly.

After the ironwork project was fixed, Zhao Dahu and the others studied the color ratio of the molten iron.

The iron flowers produced now are not only bright and beautiful, with different colors, but also spread wider. They look beautiful and attract a large number of tourists every time.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau even plans to promote the blacksmithing of iron flowers in Fengming Valley Scenic Area as a folk activity.

Looking at the bright iron flowers in the sky, Li Yu took out his mobile phone and was just about to take a few photos and post them on WeChat Moments when he saw a message from Hao Zhenzhen:

"The samples are ready. There are styles for men and women. Let's try them on at the B\u0026B tomorrow morning. If they fit, we can take some promotional photos to increase the popularity of the online store."

It’s very efficient... Li Yu replied:

"No problem. Xiaochan and I won't go anywhere tomorrow. We'll just wait for you at the B\u0026B."

After replying to the message, Li Yu took a few photos of iron flowers. As soon as they were posted to Moments, Diao Chan secretly liked them and left a comment:

"The iron flower without Sister Zhou doesn't look good."

Soon, this comment received an additional reply:

"Sister, I'm going back to the capital for the weekend today. I'll accompany you to watch the ironworks next week."

This weekend, Zhou Ruotong didn't originally plan to return to Beijing, but the gifts given by Li Yu and Diao Chan were too expensive to leave here, so he took advantage of the weekend to bring them to the capital.

After replying to Diao Chan's comment, she clicked on the photo taken by Li Yu and looked at it, and couldn't help but curl her lips:

"I didn't capture Tiehua's most beautiful moment, but instead captured a bunch of heads. It's really a typical straight man's way of photographing."

Well, I will go with my camera next week and let some people see how to take night scene photos.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yu replied with a message under that comment:

"Have you returned to the capital? I'll try on the new Hanfu tomorrow. I originally wanted you to be a model."

Seeing this message, Zhou Ruotong raised his finger and flicked Crayon Shin-chan hanging on the strap of his bag:

"It's a beautiful idea, I won't be a model for you."

But after all, she opened the online shopping APP, clicked on the Hanfu option, and looked at it carefully.

At Fengming Valley Scenic Area, Li Yu put away his mobile phone and was about to put his hand into the pocket of his down jacket to warm it up. Unexpectedly, Diao Chan put her hand in first:

"Brother Yu, why are the pockets of your down jacket warmer than mine?"

"Maybe it's because my down jacket is thicker."

Just as he was talking, Wu Song, who was patrolling the scenic area, came over. He saw Diao Chan's hand in Li Yu's down jacket pocket, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Why don't you squeeze forward? There's no wind in the front, so it's not that cold."

Li Yu pointed to the down jacket on his body:

"I'm afraid it will splash on my clothes... By the way, Erlang, Brother Qin is here and will go back early tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll go back and have a drink with him later."

Wu Song didn't chat much and continued patrolling. Occasionally he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked about the surrounding safety situation.

Although the ironwork is beautiful, it is too dangerous, so one string must be stretched every time and cannot be relaxed.

After watching the performance, Li Yu drove Diao Chan back to the B\u0026B.

When I came upstairs, I found Qin Qiong, who had already taken a shower, sitting in front of the computer, dragging the mouse awkwardly while playing Plants vs. Zombies.

Hey, second brother Qin is quite fashionable.

It was very warm in the building. Li Yu took off his down jacket and wore only a gray round-neck sweatshirt that Diao Chan picked out in the mall. He said with a smile:

"Erlang will be here in a moment, ready to have some drinks with you."

Qin Qiong nervously placed the nuts in front of a zombie, then breathed a sigh of relief:

"No problem, Brother Yu, all he has left now is to eat and drink, so it's not a worry."

You can't stay so depressed, otherwise the Duke will run away... In order to arouse Qin Qiong's fighting spirit, Li Yu said:

"Second brother didn't write a letter to my family? Don't let my sister-in-law and the old lady worry about it. If you have any situation, just tell me clearly. The war has been going on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand yuan."

I remember that in the original work, Qin Qiong lived in Tiantang County for several months without any news, which made the old lady beg Fan Hu to brave the cold and make another trip to Tiantang County.

And when he accidentally beat the shop owner to death and was sent to Beiping Mansion, he disappeared for a long time. He even acknowledged relatives with Luo Yi's family without saying a word in a letter.

From this point of view, Qin Qiong is not as good as Wu Song in terms of Gu family.

Of course, this is related to their personalities. Qin Qiong loves to make friends and can talk to everyone, while Wu Song has a high vision and it is difficult for ordinary people to like him.

"Thank you, Brother Xian, for reminding me. Brother Yu, you really forgot about this."

When it came to writing letters home, Qin Qiong stopped playing games and decided to start writing them now.

Li Yu brought him a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and antique vertical letter paper. Qin Qiong picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing a letter.

Originally, he thought Qin Qiong was a martial artist and his calligraphy should be average.

But when I saw the beautiful and neat small regular script on the letter paper, I immediately felt that I had underestimated the ancients.

Damn, this is good video material... Li Yu set up a tripod, set up a camera, gathered in front of his desk, and started shooting.

Qin Qiong had just taken a shower and put on a brand new crew-neck robe. She looked elegant yet majestic. If she edited this and posted it online, it would definitely bring a new wave of traffic to the B\u0026B.

"Second Brother Qin's handwriting is so beautiful."

Diao Chan came upstairs with the washed fruits. When she saw Qin Qiong writing, she quickly came around and watched carefully.

When she traveled back in time, the most popular style in the Three Kingdoms world was Cai Yong's Feibai style, and the standard font was official script. At that time, there were no fonts such as regular script and running script.

Now looking at Qin Qiong's standard lower case letters, her interest in practicing calligraphy suddenly rose.

Qin Qiong said with a smile:

"Brother Fool has little talent and little knowledge, and makes the wise brother and wise sister laugh... If I have the opportunity to help you ask for some calligraphy works by famous artists, that would be beautiful."

There were many famous calligraphers in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If Qin Qiong can get the original calligraphy, it will definitely add a lot of glory to the B\u0026B.

After finishing writing, Qin Qiong remembered what Li Yu had just said:

"The war rages for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold. This poem by a wise brother is extremely appropriate."

Li Yu doesn't have the face of Sun Facai, so he doesn't dare to play the trick of copycat:

"This is the work of Du Fu, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. I have no ability to write poetry."

When Diao Chan heard this, she quickly said:

"Although sir does not compose poetry, his words are as full of meaning as poetry. I secretly wrote down many of them, and the more I read them, the more I like them."

Li Yu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Why don't you remember what I say?

This is very shameful, okay!

I remember playing dice in the dormitory when I was in college. The loser would either blow a bottle of beer, or take out the space from high school and recite ten items.

Everyone thinks that people who choose to drink are stupid, but when it was their turn, they took a few glances at QQ Zone and grabbed the beer bottle without hesitation, and no one around them could stop them.

After the ink on the letter paper dried, Qin Qiong folded it and stuffed it into the prepared kraft paper envelope:

"When I go back tomorrow, Brother Yu will ask Brother Shan to deliver the letter to Licheng, so that my family will not worry about it."

After arranging the letters, Qin Qiong continued to play Plants vs. Zombies.

Li Yu sat in front of another computer, searching for information on the Eight Immortals, Mu Guiying, Lishan Old Mother, etc., intending to find Mu Guiying's way to break the situation.

Diao Chan pinched a cherry and fed it to his mouth:

"Sir, does Sister Guiying's master have a dojo in the real world?"

"Yes, outside Chaoge City, which is less than 100 kilometers away from Yinzhou, there is the Guling Mountain Scenic Area, which is said to be Nuwa's dojo. In "The Romance of the Gods", King Zhou went there to pay homage to Nuwa, and he had evil thoughts. , causing the disaster of destroying the country."

After spitting the core of the cherry into the trash can, Li Yugang was about to search for pictures of Guling Mountain Scenic Area, and Diao Chan put another piece of fruit into his mouth:

"Is Empress Nuwa related to Mother Lishan?"

"Well, Old Mother Lishan seems to be Nuwa's good corpse, and she is also a clone who deals with human affairs."

After all, he is a saint and cannot always personally deal with trivial matters in the world. However, believers cannot but respond to their prayers, so he arranged for a clone to handle these matters.

In classical novels, Mother Lishan is still very active. For example, she appears in the chapter of "Journey to the West" where the Four Saints test their Zen hearts.

The three Bodhisattvas played the role of the three sisters to seduce the Buddhist team, while Lishan Mother played the role of their old mother.

Without a certain status, can the three great bodhisattvas under the Tathagata be willing to call mother?

Diao Chan peeled off a longan and put it into her mouth:

"Then how about we go to Guling Mountain to pay homage to Empress Nuwa and ask her to bless Sister Guiying. I just read the original work and found that Sister Guiying gave birth before the birth twice. Isn't this too embarrassing?"

It's too late for me to hide from my mother in Lishan, and you still advise me to throw myself into a trap?

Li Yu shook his head and said:

"When Mu Guiying comes, let's first see how she communicates with the master."

Don't just fall to the top of the mountain to apologize to the queen as soon as you arrive at the Guling Mountain Scenic Area. My handsome little body cannot withstand such a torment.

The two were eating fruit and chatting, when Wu Song came back.

"Second brother actually gained some weight in prison?"

Wu Song thought of how he would be in jail, and then looked at Qin Qiong's current state, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With Brother Shan taking care of him, it was really different.

Prisons in ancient times were all similar, but the conditions of the two men in prison were very different. The reason was that Shan Xiongxin, a loyal and courageous man, kept spending money.

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly:

"Brother Yu is now eating and sleeping. He can neither go out nor practice martial arts. He is indeed a little decadent."

Feeling depressed, he stood up and said:

"Erlang, let's go to your room for a drink."

Li Yu doesn't drink much, and Diao Chan is still a child and doesn't want to touch alcoholic beverages, so he simply goes to Wu Song's room to drink.

"Okay, little brother, go to the kitchen to prepare two dishes to go with the wine."

Heroes often come over, and the kitchen is always stocked with fried peanuts, braised pork and other dishes to go with wine. Wu Song hurriedly prepared, and Qin Qiong said to Li Yu:

"We won't disturb brother Xian from giving lectures to sister Xian."

After saying that, he blinked secretly, just like those bad friends who create opportunities for good brothers to be alone.

Li Yu smiled helplessly:

"Second brother, don't drink too much, otherwise I won't have to look for you in the prison over there tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I'll save it for my brother!"

When Wu Song came back with the appetizers, Qin Qiong hurriedly went to drink.

Diao Chan picked up a washed prune from the fruit plate and took a bite:

"Sister Zhou said that eating this food will help you lose weight, but you can't eat too much, as it will lead to diarrhea... Sir, would you like some too?"

"Okay, I'll share some of it for you."

Li Yu took two pills and started editing the video he had just taken. Diao Chan also sat down and studied obediently.

At 9:30, he added the opening and ending to the video, uploaded it online, and then forwarded it to Moments:

"Confucian scholars in the Sui and Tang Dynasties would write letters home late at night. Anyone want to experience it?"

As soon as it was posted, Wen Jing liked it:

"Uncle Qin is so handsome. Can he be a model tomorrow?"

Hao Zhenzhen also commented and asked:

"If Uncle Qin can be a model, the results will be better."

But he is in prison and has no time... Li Yugang was about to refuse, but suddenly he thought that Qin Qiong was also depressed in the prison cell, so why not let him get more involved in things here.

Well, we can coordinate it tomorrow morning. If Qin Qiong can come over, the promotional photos of the clothing will definitely be a blockbuster.

After replying to their comments, Li Yu put down his mobile phone and was about to open the game to enjoy the game. Diao Chan, who was studying, suddenly slid his computer chair and came over:

"Sir, sir, can you frame the photos you took tomorrow? I want to hang them on the wall."

Frame it and hang it on the wall?

Li Yu was stunned for a moment before he reacted:

"You want to develop and print it into physical photos, right? No problem, I will arrange it tomorrow!"
