豈其食魚,必河之鯉?——《詩經·陳風·衡門》31Please respect copyright.PENANAr4DgkDRFJ0

莊周騎著馬,小公主在後面跟著。“我們要一起走嗎?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAgJeq1zlhdX
31Please respect copyright.PENANANWBnPDMGui
“當然了,你還欠我錢呢?你跑了我去哪要啊。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAe6QKZbkTJe
31Please respect copyright.PENANAPyjBEHBgaO
小公主默不作聲,自己現在分文沒有,也隻好依靠莊周。莊周在包袱中掏出一片竹簡,寫了幾筆後拿給小公主,說“簽字吧”。小公主一看氣得吐血,竟是放債契約!債主一欄寫著莊周,借債人空著。31Please respect copyright.PENANAvr5Btw2kMo
31Please respect copyright.PENANA50f0x9Q8TP
“就這麽點錢你至於嗎!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAnDEGUHDvHQ
31Please respect copyright.PENANACIkpR7nY4u
“這麽點錢你還拿不出來?!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAbjxfKTXQI4
31Please respect copyright.PENANA8WxTYrtGYY
小公主沒辦法,只寫上了魏羽祺三個字。31Please respect copyright.PENANAryjebsKpHj
31Please respect copyright.PENANAAn57KSQGhM
“這就對了,擔保人我都沒填。”莊周說罷,用小刀把竹片一分而二,把其中一片遞給魏羽祺:“我拿左券,你拿右券,到時可別說我亂要債。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAoLpDztlAkI
31Please respect copyright.PENANAgrG48V6SXg
“我還想請你幫個忙。”魏羽祺忽然說。31Please respect copyright.PENANAeha6zT5QdY
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJkuuwVS6Jm
“什麽忙?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAH8NRS2I3HO
31Please respect copyright.PENANAw8tvuKj7xb
“能不能......再借我點錢。到朝儛這麽遠......”31Please respect copyright.PENANAthMGMPf5PH
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtCpk9VNQkY
莊周正在喝水,聽聞此言一口水差點嗆出來:“你不會這一路的花銷都算在我頭上吧!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAHuURR5RabB
31Please respect copyright.PENANAUxL8bTs0AC
“放心,一到朝儛見到師父就十倍還你。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAl8z2Gwqijk
31Please respect copyright.PENANAWI7Lczr3HA
“別,我及時止損好了。你現在就回家,我給你留個地址,講信用你就送錢來,不講信用就當我倒霉。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA7mf6CKIMMJ
31Please respect copyright.PENANAbnwNRaul0D
“我家比朝儛還遠,就算回家也得向你借錢!”魏羽祺眨著大眼睛,一副天真模樣。31Please respect copyright.PENANAFK3fVv7EDa
31Please respect copyright.PENANAhXxbFOWBAF
“這是訛上我了?!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAI0Nbg7jf9b
31Please respect copyright.PENANAAd2ooQX45F
“你放心好了,到了朝儛我連本帶利還給你。”小公主頓了頓,又投去楚楚可憐的目光:“求你了。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAZHdKgQUJnG
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQNpS2lWE5K
兩人終於在黃昏時分趕到歷下城。歷下為齊國大城,街面熱鬧。魏羽祺心情很好:“總算到了個像樣的城邑了,我們要好好吃一頓。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAgwu1wryBRc
31Please respect copyright.PENANAVJDIIOVZ0U
“好!”莊周也很高興,到了歷下表示離目的地又近了一步。“走,我帶你吃點好的。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAw6qBpZwJOi
31Please respect copyright.PENANAhAwt7Na1UT
魏羽祺本以為莊周會帶自己去大酒樓,最起碼也是店面寬敞的食坊,結果莊周竟然帶她來到了市場邊上,門口有七八個攤檔,“怎麽樣?我就知道,市場門外一定有小吃攤。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAl7qz8Rpafh
31Please respect copyright.PENANAh3uXXZrbzu
“我們趕了一天的路就吃這個?”她向莊周投去難以置信的眼神。31Please respect copyright.PENANA62yk5ztTEh
31Please respect copyright.PENANAz5UsLdvWDD
“這多好啊!你聞,滿街飄香!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAEfxu946FhV
31Please respect copyright.PENANAGOP2vm39Q7
魏羽祺皺著眉頭望著這些攤檔,“這不乾淨,我們去剛剛路過的那個‘飄香院’吧。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA64T0NI6y5L
31Please respect copyright.PENANAsXdZKilVm6
魏羽祺當時還覺得飄香院不夠氣派,尋思莊周說不定帶自己去更好的飯莊。現在看了這些小攤,反倒覺得飄香院是最好的選擇。31Please respect copyright.PENANAKdehgvY9Lj
31Please respect copyright.PENANA7HEEoAPgmD
“不識貨你。來來來。”莊周招呼魏羽祺走近攤檔。31Please respect copyright.PENANAeDxYB04xyh
31Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ndglkNJW
“要去你去!”魏羽祺站在原地不動。31Please respect copyright.PENANAHjny3Ni0Er
31Please respect copyright.PENANA26UnnX6otC
不一會兒,看見莊周拿著一個竹笥,邊走邊吃,“來,嘗嘗!”31Please respect copyright.PENANADhEGQuPRBg
31Please respect copyright.PENANAPFpBdFndJe
一股衝鼻的氣味衝向魏羽祺,“這是什麽?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAUl0Dvp2gN8
31Please respect copyright.PENANADlEgr1xhNo
“濁家羊胃脯,特別好吃!”31Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ljfg9rPWW
31Please respect copyright.PENANAOaAn9ieY4s
“就是羊的胃?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAt7BOOpQaxc
31Please respect copyright.PENANAkCjsMvcvGX
“對,小火熬爛羊胃然後風乾,再撒上椒薑粉........”31Please respect copyright.PENANAmWD17W6Vtq
31Please respect copyright.PENANAg9k5tu14II
魏羽祺作勢欲嘔。連連擺手。31Please respect copyright.PENANAOGd6J9IM4F
31Please respect copyright.PENANASjhuer1wxp
“不愛吃啊?那還有萍虀餅。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA95WlH7CZVK
31Please respect copyright.PENANAz6veHhdADG
“這是?”魏羽祺抱了一絲希望。31Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Os5x3SL2
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQtQ7qSFHcA
“醃的韭萍夾餅,這家醃的汁可酸了,蒜泥也夠。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAXPEqVcSYsb
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMomMzDFl2v
魏羽祺嘔的聲更大了。31Please respect copyright.PENANACj2mwX77sf
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqWvRcPU3cF
莊周看向魏羽祺:“你至於嗎?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAYBfqFk2gPP
31Please respect copyright.PENANAmBoxLxQtre
“我不吃!”魏羽祺嗔道。31Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z9eY3rnwQ
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQdYfhr3Hb4
“那你吃什麽?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCSb2XmL3
31Please respect copyright.PENANApilLw7gV6E
“我什麽都不吃!”魏羽祺氣得跺腳。31Please respect copyright.PENANAIi1baQqM7h
31Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ10JJw8zn
“那好,31Please respect copyright.PENANAam7qi7dtyk
31Please respect copyright.PENANA3rNgnRRbpi
你等我吃完。”莊周狼吞虎咽地吃完羊胃脯,又吃了兩張夾餅,長歎一聲:“美味啊。” 魏羽祺強忍住想暴打莊周的衝動,“吃完沒?吃完趕緊走!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAr2FgEmdGlm
31Please respect copyright.PENANAVSyL8NIAdP
“你確定不吃?過了這村可沒這店了。”31Please respect copyright.PENANALarALrMPYn
31Please respect copyright.PENANARETuEZohM3
“我就是餓死也不吃這些爛七八糟的東西。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAjCzUSgPB9m
31Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Wvyzeny2
莊周聳聳肩,“天黑了,找個地方住。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA2SaYYYSEdI
31Please respect copyright.PENANATSpStONIwy
“這兒就挺好。”魏羽祺指了指身後的“福星客棧”。若是從前,這麽普通的店她根本不會放在眼裡,但和莊周一路後她明白了一個道理,遇到差不多的就得趕緊下手。31Please respect copyright.PENANAZnzllYdKRB
31Please respect copyright.PENANAcE8QJa7Zqi
“這兒一看就是宰客的,剛才我和老濁問好了,跟我走。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA8WocuLY14J
31Please respect copyright.PENANAEqxJz1cPk1
魏羽祺生起一種不祥預感。她跟著莊周七拐八繞,到天黑才在一個窄巷子中找到了一個更窄的門面。如果不是牆上寫著“旅舍”兩個字,她無論如何也想不到這裡竟然是開門做生意的店鋪!31Please respect copyright.PENANAnFpKsTeNp6
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuCeSsidwRs
“店家,開一間房,要二等間。”莊周早已在買羊胃的時候打聽清楚了。如果是他自己肯定住三等間了,但看魏羽祺如此挑剔,就要了二等。31Please respect copyright.PENANAKAuGbOrZ7y
31Please respect copyright.PENANArwiFiPuU9a
“什麽一間,要兩間!”魏羽祺急道。31Please respect copyright.PENANAOZJnXNh8jw
31Please respect copyright.PENANA06QfezHwKp
“兩間你付錢嗎?就一間。”莊周一錘定音。31Please respect copyright.PENANA1tFEr6vucN
31Please respect copyright.PENANAadnC5eXzlx
魏羽祺跟在莊周身後,小心臟撲通撲通地跳,心想孤男寡女夜處一室怎麽能行?他隻開一間房是不是有什麽險惡企圖!如果他撲上來我該怎麽辦?31Please respect copyright.PENANALUCGSJIUXD
31Please respect copyright.PENANAS0Jk77DrrK
正想著莊周已經打開房門走進了屋子,魏羽祺第一次看見陳設這麽簡單的房間!只有一張床和一個小短幾。短幾上有一盞陶豆燈,燈火幽暗。莊周關上房門,向魏羽祺走來,魏羽祺嚇得雙手抱在胸前:“你要是再過來,我就,我就........”31Please respect copyright.PENANAlrK8HT01k3
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtoRhy65N1h
“有病。”莊周白了她一眼,徑直繞過她把包裹放在床上,“你睡吧。”說罷就走出房門。31Please respect copyright.PENANATrvgmTjRsb
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJu0cqlGFxx
“那你呢?!”魏羽祺大感意外。31Please respect copyright.PENANA3tqUOCUemm
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ1oxdyCwf
沒有回答,只聽見腳步聲漸遠。魏羽祺用小短幾抵住房門,和衣而睡。夢裡夢見莊周潛進房間,嚇得驚醒過來。看小短幾沒有移動的痕跡,這才安下心。但腹內饑餓,再無睡意,也有些好奇莊周在哪,便走下樓查看,結果下樓時差點被一個人絆倒,一看竟然是莊周!31Please respect copyright.PENANAqOvswQsQXb
31Please respect copyright.PENANAWqyxmbUFHO
他用布墊在樓梯角,靠在牆上正在酣睡。魏羽祺心道:“這小子人也不算壞。”正想著,莊周忽然睜眼,兩人都嚇了一大跳。31Please respect copyright.PENANAE0djZJ0kUw
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXBASadSdME
“你不睡覺跑這兒來幹嘛?”31Please respect copyright.PENANArNLoIPEPVw
31Please respect copyright.PENANAzQSUSKLHtE
“睡不著出來轉轉。”魏羽祺小臉微紅。31Please respect copyright.PENANA0N80LwevNM
31Please respect copyright.PENANAukdH9HCr4S
“那房費不是白付了嘛?快去睡,明日還要趕路。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAPFs84kYEK5
31Please respect copyright.PENANA50O9ErwgEc
魏羽祺想讓莊周進房來睡,在地上打鋪怎麽也比睡樓梯要啊好。但卻怎麽也說不出口,隻說了聲“哦”,便反身回房。莊周心下好奇,她怎麽變得這麽聽話了?31Please respect copyright.PENANALd1ZbIWkBY
31Please respect copyright.PENANAb848uBgN1p
清晨,兩人結了帳繼續趕路。莊周又去昨天的攤檔買了幾張萍虀餅,一路上大嚼特嚼,讚不絕口。小公主腹內空空,越聽越饞,終於忍不住了:“那個,我也嘗嘗吧。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA5vay0KTAoS
31Please respect copyright.PENANADJKcLAwSm7
“別,當時叫你吃你不吃,這回可沒帶你的份。”莊周笑道。31Please respect copyright.PENANAoIhmRnTUfn
31Please respect copyright.PENANAYA5BD4cjfx
“快給我!”31Please respect copyright.PENANA59qBu4Mhxz
31Please respect copyright.PENANAypAhlIH8AB
(過了一會兒)31Please respect copyright.PENANAZd7KeRvLsl
31Please respect copyright.PENANAFBLAmnoKEE
“你已經吃了三張了還要啊。”莊周無奈。31Please respect copyright.PENANA6McHbYUPoW
31Please respect copyright.PENANAhCHY4bM13k
“再來一張,沒想到這麽好吃還不膩。”小公主伸手。31Please respect copyright.PENANAI5P6QUrrRp
31Please respect copyright.PENANALYMQquuqRU
下站到了昌城,小公主拉著莊周就去找小吃攤,還主動打聽有沒有價格便宜又靠譜的旅店。兩人點了豬肝粥、梅醬兔頭,在街邊吃得樂不可支,攤檔主笑道:“你們這一對兒當真有趣,吃好了下次再來。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAridXq4wjl4
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfKcR4UIAwu
“我們不是一對兒!”莊周急忙說。31Please respect copyright.PENANAVxs0ap0Cjn
31Please respect copyright.PENANArIj03PH6gK
去旅店的路上,小公主一言不發,神情嚴肅。莊周說:“你看這兒兩旁的絲布店,不怪大家都說‘魯織齊紈’。要不一會兒去逛逛?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAekHVntAdTZ
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuULW2LaMfj
“隨便。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAOV9lwuno81
31Please respect copyright.PENANALD97FCy9U4
莊周大感奇怪:“你不是挺愛逛綢布店的嗎?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAfHA8aXHJvW
31Please respect copyright.PENANATngyvl82fD
“你愛怎麽想怎麽想。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAATgb4N82lN
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZF0kxh9QIM
莊周再笨也知道魏羽祺生氣了,往常提到美食啊、衣服啊、首飾啊,魏羽祺都滔滔不絕,如數家珍,這回竟然一言不發,但究竟為什麽生氣卻怎麽也想不出來。31Please respect copyright.PENANAZGxTXdaNPp
31Please respect copyright.PENANApnaDeFpDR7
進了旅店房門,魏羽祺“砰”的一聲就關上了門。莊周說:“我還沒放行李呢!”門開了一條縫,莊周把行李遞進去,砰的一下,門又關上了。31Please respect copyright.PENANAArvAiYiBbC
31Please respect copyright.PENANA5uJutftOcj
晚上叫魏羽祺吃飯,她也不去。莊周隻好一人去吃,回來後敲門:“看看我帶什麽東西了?”31Please respect copyright.PENANA3011TjrI3z
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMWb5gFuibL
門開了一個縫兒,“你遞進來就行。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA9mksiwT9Jx
31Please respect copyright.PENANAGbllO1SddT
莊周伸頭一看,發現魏羽祺臉上竟然有淚痕。他一把推開門:“你怎麽了,誰欺負你了,和我說!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAIVDGG3XjUZ
31Please respect copyright.PENANArUyXp1yqGI
“就是你。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAPCQQTHsg2W
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxrvGOC9jPO
“我怎麽欺負你了?”莊周摸不著頭腦。31Please respect copyright.PENANA9dUR0yyFle
31Please respect copyright.PENANAphyjrlJReT
“我問你,今早擺攤檔的說我們,我們是......一對兒,你幹嘛著急否認?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAH9qbiF8Oqr
31Please respect copyright.PENANAARDa8RUUUT
“我這不是澄清嗎?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAgqMtBxevLh

“要澄清也是我先澄清!怎麽,覺得我配不上你嗎?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAhyapJGJXDO
31Please respect copyright.PENANAibJvWRk3rN
“怎麽可能?你那麽好看!”莊周脫口而出31Please respect copyright.PENANAap6YIGnDXG
31Please respect copyright.PENANAnsUsX2z9lp
魏羽祺臉一紅,莊周自覺得失言,“你嘗嘗這兒的蜜餌糕,我先走了。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA563EAbu3Bi
31Please respect copyright.PENANApavSNPDRoD
“等等,你在房間裡睡吧。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAc4OYrHrOvK
31Please respect copyright.PENANArDEaOLxJNK
“什麽!”莊周望著那一張床,驚道。31Please respect copyright.PENANAVJmJewNOZi
31Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ffk2O5eWp
“你想什麽呢!你睡地上,我睡床上。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAnKBeVkAksD

“只要你別圖謀不軌就行。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAnXBX5tIMGw

“我倒怕你圖謀不軌。”莊周笑著說。31Please respect copyright.PENANACpd6RMe0iI
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfgkTOTWiwB
魏羽祺作勢要打:“還敢亂說!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAV4iiggjWem
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHsbRqaUNip
晚上,魏羽祺睜眼,發現莊周在地上看書。好奇問道:“你看的什麽武功秘籍?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAUTNag9sicL
31Please respect copyright.PENANA5nOyyIMPBD
“老子的《德經》和《道經》。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA4U9LOnyffe

31Please respect copyright.PENANAzmqWp24rd6
“你真的沒學過縱橫術?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAI1f47E87y0
31Please respect copyright.PENANAO8B29YlDPN
“我都說了多少遍了,真沒學過。我都不知道縱橫術是什麽。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAFvVOn8oQUk
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQTPWVn4Key
“那其他道術呢?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAe4vvS65edD
31Please respect copyright.PENANA4agyV3vo9A
“沒學過,道術是什麽意思?”31Please respect copyright.PENANA9J8nsmc44D
31Please respect copyright.PENANAce38t6jTzq
“道術也就是武學,天下道術很多門,比方說儒、墨、道、陰陽、法、名、縱橫等等吧,每家主修的不一樣,儒家,內功和真氣特別厲害;我們陰陽家,修的是驅控水火;縱橫家出名的是縱橫術和長短拳。縱橫術是極高明的輕功,一縱一橫,速度極快,所以很多大刺客都是縱橫家的。那天你露的那一手,一般人都做不到,就是縱橫家中的高手,也不可能毫無痕跡。你到底是怎麽做到的?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAfjRgjP5nR9
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqYqM6INm7i
“我真的不知道。”31Please respect copyright.PENANASo6v2xIsei
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMHWBmNcKl3
“你也去學道術吧!我今年就入學‘天之庠序’,到時我和爹爹說,給你辦一個入學名額。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAdqIODEzKp3
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfbIWkF9URc
“那是什麽?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAKl5bdVcbiR
31Please respect copyright.PENANAkPPbq9ScDE
“‘天之庠序’你沒聽過?那是天下最有名的道術學校了!也是當今武林最大的門派。基礎課修一年,然後再選擇適合的專業主修。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAspwSudIiTE
31Please respect copyright.PENANAe3gU6nS2jo
莊周聽得心癢癢的,自從看了劉太公關於奇異生物的藏書後,他開始對更大的世界有了一種莫名的向往。魏羽祺見莊周不答話,又說:“到時我們一起入學,還可以做同窗。”31Please respect copyright.PENANABeTju7L9xL
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQcBZKPH0y0
莊周“嗯”了一聲,他和魏羽祺其實都不清楚,天之庠序的入學名額是多麽難得。血統其實是天之庠序收生時一個很重要的標準,一般有意送子弟入校的高門大族,都常年向學校進獻禮金。有些想讓子女入學的新進門第,他們的供禮份額更大。對於一些沒落的老牌貴族來說,只要血統足夠高貴,即使供禮不多,也能入選。31Please respect copyright.PENANAfQsZHO0pKz
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqfY3rv9biu
但有土封君的推薦入學名額比尋常權貴要多,除了推薦自己的親屬入學外,也會推薦下屬官員的子女,以此作為一種表彰和恩寵手段。31Please respect copyright.PENANA4gRLUsske2
31Please respect copyright.PENANAaNVzzf1BVF
當然,能入學的也不僅限於君、卿、大夫、士之後,有的財力雄厚但血統平凡的商人家族,每兩三屆也能用流水的金銀博出一兩個名額來。還有武學宗師、門派師長、宿學盛德,都有可能獲得入學名額。其中,最例外的莫過於“無類選”了。31Please respect copyright.PENANAbREVlGOqVN
31Please respect copyright.PENANAnqkKXonrzT
“無類選”的傳統起源於孔子,孔子雲:“有教無類。”為了踐行此理念,讓平民人家也有機會修習道術,每屆招生都會留出三個名額給尋常人家,號為“無類選”。“無類選”通常由校長、教育長親自選擇,教師也有推薦權,條件以機緣和天賦為主,但自從二十多年前的一屆“無類選”招收了一個後來把武林攪得天翻地覆的魔頭來,“無類選”便有名無實,一個不選了。31Please respect copyright.PENANAu3yPwzu7Wd
31Please respect copyright.PENANA95PAGbwNci
“到了學校我罩著你。假期你還可以去我家玩啊......莊周,莊周?”魏羽祺低頭一看,原來莊周已經睡著了,“可真是個呆瓜”,她輕聲說。31Please respect copyright.PENANAzcltziX0zo
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJRmmb472AI
就這樣,兩人一路吵吵鬧鬧,時間過得飛快。這一天來到即墨城,這是到朝儛的最後一座大城,也是齊國的五都之一。五都是齊國最重要的五座城市,相當於郡府,駐有精銳的常備軍,每都下轄各自區域內的縣邑。兩人一進城門就覺得心情很好,一來到了即墨就代表還有幾天的路程就到目的地了,二來眼前的繁華景象竟然和齊國國都臨淄相比也不遑多讓。31Please respect copyright.PENANA7woJF4aiRX
31Please respect copyright.PENANA6muHYli02u
莊周讚道:“齊人說‘即墨之饒,與臨淄並誇殷盛’,果然不虛。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAAGTSAIbwDc
31Please respect copyright.PENANABndmvcW6m5
魏羽祺說:“馬馬虎虎了,不過跟我們大梁比起來還是差點意思。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAPTvVb8JBe5
31Please respect copyright.PENANAODzqyB4wvv
“你總說大梁,大梁,那是你家鄉嗎?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAcs0M5Xv4Cg
31Please respect copyright.PENANAR3rRCfFgyE
“算是吧,我家以前在安邑,後來搬到了大梁。到時你一定要去我家玩!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAxtKYoXA7ws
31Please respect copyright.PENANAdaeAsa9m1o
四年前魏王從安邑遷都到大梁,為的便是鞏固中原霸主的地位。這是魏國君臣開始“由西向東”的戰略目標轉移,莊周自然是不知道的,魏羽祺知道的也不是很清楚,只是聽父王說遷都是為了“爭形勢”。31Please respect copyright.PENANAD15rveauP7
31Please respect copyright.PENANANMdw3dhgzP
兩人路過一家酒樓,紅色朱漆,青色瓦片,氣派非常,上面寫著“齊香閣”三個大字。魏羽祺拉住莊周:“咱們這麽久了,就沒在正經飯館吃過飯,這次就來嘗一下齊國特色吧!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAucTEBq0r7O
31Please respect copyright.PENANAeSpmcavrdc
“在哪不一樣啊。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAlItlAtwVWL
31Please respect copyright.PENANA1ucxc9QktY
“求求你啦!我保證不多點!隻點兩個菜。”魏羽祺眼亮如星,實在讓人無法拒絕。31Please respect copyright.PENANAxDnkYU14fV
31Please respect copyright.PENANARzvW9DurHj
莊周抵不過,又想反正也快到朝儛了,算算錢還夠,也可以小小的奢侈一把:“我們可說好,隻點兩樣菜。”31Please respect copyright.PENANATvP4q61EdB
31Please respect copyright.PENANAGgFwRTEEOz
“嗯嗯!”小公主如小雞啄米般點頭。31Please respect copyright.PENANAIgxD9S7PeR
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxLDn0U6iWY
果然是大酒樓,竟然還有竹簡菜單。這是莊周第一次看到菜單,小公主則顯得很熟練,“莊周,我們要‘五味脯’怎麽樣?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAeoe7A2z6tr
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxQRN7spD7f
“小姐好眼光,這是本地的特色,先把骨頭捶碎和豆豉一起熬煮,再加蔥、花椒、桔皮、薑等,將肉脯浸.......”31Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ4ISBkUP3
31Please respect copyright.PENANAYlq8m0KhZW
還沒等店小二說完,莊周驚道:“居然要三十錢!”31Please respect copyright.PENANA8XcVOXzjAB
31Please respect copyright.PENANAurEgpjYOrK
魏羽祺給莊周使了個眼色,“就這個吧,你們還有什麽特色?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAioF2T5xdkv

“二位一看就是外地來的吧,我們齊地喜食薑,所以‘鯉薑膾’也是本店的招牌。這鯉魚雖然不是黃河鯉,但也是從......”31Please respect copyright.PENANA5hz6CC0EQA
31Please respect copyright.PENANAscIHUKd7sk
莊周瞪大眼睛:“居然要三十七錢!齊國魚價最是便宜,你們怎麽能亂定價!”31Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q7gV5hvb5
31Please respect copyright.PENANAB4xQbNGTeT
“客官瞧您這話說的,魚也分種類啊,有的海魚是便宜,我們這魚可是.......”31Please respect copyright.PENANABAZZfzVUi7
31Please respect copyright.PENANAUdvVTBHYPt
“停,就要這個了!”魏羽祺趕忙道,“再來一壺梅漿。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAgpfawjUx5R
31Please respect copyright.PENANAjNSfrK40RV
“你!”莊周指向魏羽祺。31Please respect copyright.PENANACsCqOsPQER
31Please respect copyright.PENANAJRUqaX8FVv
魏羽祺迅速用菜單擋住自己的臉,小聲說道:“飲品不算菜裡。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ5AWZjZ0y
31Please respect copyright.PENANAzT0swziAmZ
莊周一臉無奈。正在此時,鄰座的聲音飄了過來:“這麽窮酸,也敢來齊香閣?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAl7FffaAXQn
31Please respect copyright.PENANA2nOfZrCGh5
“你說誰!”魏羽祺一下子站了起來。31Please respect copyright.PENANAlTSe7BW2oL
31Please respect copyright.PENANA8k9AuYMwye
“怎麽?”鄰座挑起幃幛,兩個男子走出,見到一個錦緞男裝的美貌少女,頓覺眼前一亮。又看了一眼粗布短衣的莊周,不禁大感厭惡。31Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8Hyc0i1QE
31Please respect copyright.PENANAapVUfMFycI
“像小姐這樣的人物,怎麽能和這種吝嗇村夫同行呢?不如到我們的雅間來。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAAFDvUk3pD5
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZDXViFRq7O
魏羽祺冷笑道:“你們也配?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAKR7o3NJnJC
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuKyvo7WtY2
兩人本來想向魏羽祺討好,這句話一出,徹底惹怒了他們:“這衣服八成是偷的,兩個窮鬼也配來齊香閣吃飯?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAJcGe3aPhVJ
31Please respect copyright.PENANA1pLdBkNj6A
魏羽祺抱臂道:“一口一個齊香閣,就這麽寶貝這家酒樓?真是沒見識,我看也平平無奇嘛。”31Please respect copyright.PENANARiY9WXanrw
31Please respect copyright.PENANA42kAwa0RzS
“鄉巴佬口不擇言,齊香樓是這兒最好的酒樓,瞧你們身家,傾家蕩產也不過點得起幾個菜。”其中一人怒道。31Please respect copyright.PENANAEKj12x40Us
31Please respect copyright.PENANAVGZ5mLZ7da
魏羽祺微微一笑:“好啊,本姑娘今天高興,就把這兒買下來吧。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAk2FRUkFLcg
31Please respect copyright.PENANAc6bznSQ0g7
“什麽?我沒聽錯吧,她要把齊香閣買下來?真是瘋了,大白天在這兒說夢話!”31Please respect copyright.PENANA4m0pXauvG6
31Please respect copyright.PENANArrpjkWYocl
莊周勸道:“坐下,不要和他們置氣。”31Please respect copyright.PENANACOW8VuQ219
31Please respect copyright.PENANAFLDLVn9Wer
“你等我,我馬上回來。”魏羽祺快步走出酒樓,出門便問:“這兒最大的當鋪在哪?”31Please respect copyright.PENANA4DRHPr3hJl
31Please respect copyright.PENANAnpBu5NsCoc
魏羽祺走進“萬寶行”,它的所有者是山東大賈陶氏家族,當年范蠡離開越國後從商,定居陶丘,以陶為姓,人稱陶朱公。陶家代代經商,萬寶行即是產業之一。最先開在定陶,然後在曲阜,再然後是莒、琅琊、即墨、臨淄。臨淄更是一連開了兩家分店。31Please respect copyright.PENANAWGI2nSAmdW
31Please respect copyright.PENANAGsK09Sbtk1
魏羽祺一進門,迎賓者上下一打量即知此是大家子弟,馬上傳喊:“貴客到!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAIHmUCR3uwO
31Please respect copyright.PENANAeqwYwA5XIT
掌櫃急忙出迎,魏羽祺開口便問:“齊香閣多少錢?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAxxvN37Ut4n
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHOvn6PtbKF
“什麽?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAFyc7CKbwja
31Please respect copyright.PENANA6qgujY4j1M
“我問齊香閣值多少錢?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAdBccy3vSBN
31Please respect copyright.PENANAwlFPxOU2vN
掌櫃的摸不著頭腦,下意識答道:“怎麽也得值個六七百金吧。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAWt8jt4eJpe
31Please respect copyright.PENANAG8EkGiWrkZ
“好,我換一千金。”魏羽祺說著取下左耳上的玉墜,“不要弄丟了,我到時可是要來贖的。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAeAdNKJAzBq
31Please respect copyright.PENANAL4xB1iwK8Y
一千金,這少女瘋了吧!31Please respect copyright.PENANApmhwUglX8J
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQSHn8LobK2
掌櫃不以為意地接過玉墜,一看之下,不由大驚失色。連忙說:“小姐稍等。辛先生,辛先生,有大單!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAwGjKfqg4Hg
31Please respect copyright.PENANAoh7Z6fasaC
內堂走出一個男子:“不是說了,沒事不要叫我。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAOBf8j2nBNf
31Please respect copyright.PENANAdEENlYcDXB
掌櫃顫抖著把玉墜小心翼翼地捧到他面前,低聲說:“這耳墜上鑲嵌的是天藍色的一等綠松石!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAXYxNNmpIfa
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZXQz0evrE7
辛先生拿起一瞧,臉色一變。急忙放在陽光下細細端詳,呢喃道:“錯不了,錯不了。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAUS1N35roZF
31Please respect copyright.PENANA0aBoIdUJZg
他不住抬頭打量這位氣質高貴的俏麗少女:“敢問小姐,此物出自何處?另一只在哪?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAGgMYEneHmt
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtUMZsQlGqy
“有人送的,另一隻我不當,怎麽了?”31Please respect copyright.PENANA5k8UkP3P4U
31Please respect copyright.PENANApJU4pT0pTX
辛先生語氣有些激動:“此是古庸國所造,一共四對,分別送給周、魯、晉、隨四大姬姓國,多年來寶不出世,沒想到能在這兒遇到它!”晉國後來分裂成韓、趙、魏三國,國庫也被三國瓜分,這玉墜正是魏王贈給魏羽祺的。31Please respect copyright.PENANA0wvaozF9eB
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxq0nyYadLx
“這位小姐要當多少錢?”31Please respect copyright.PENANASnUKqnAeRC
31Please respect copyright.PENANAt8nILoeURM
“一千金。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAdXTWVvqx6Z
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuR6NX2bMgO
“馬上拿錢!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAyl4pz3TSCF
31Please respect copyright.PENANAw68TyOwQjQ
“可是帳上只有六百四十金。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA5YwjQDiZH0
31Please respect copyright.PENANANz0qCoJuLp
“我現在就去萬家錢莊提款。小姐稍等。”萬家錢莊也是陶氏的產業,萬寶行每年的盈余利潤都要匯總到錢莊,而當萬寶行資金不足時,錢莊也會提供支持。31Please respect copyright.PENANAzoYe3J8Mi2
31Please respect copyright.PENANADDgW1exznj
莊周此時坐立不安,魏羽祺遲遲不歸,周圍人都等著看他笑話。他暗道不好,該不會魏羽祺真的被氣糊塗了吧,發了瘋在外面亂轉怎麽行?正想去尋她,忽然聽見一聲標志性的清嗓。莊周心裡的石頭終於落了地。見魏羽祺大模大樣地走了進來,說道:“把你們掌櫃的叫來。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAPI4yGqeoHS
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHec0DYDdzC
掌櫃的問道:“請問客人有何貴乾?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAenvBSTMlOQ
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMLcAZ7HMvY
“我要買你的店。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAISyNsOAOG7
31Please respect copyright.PENANAEX8Q8yFzMm
“切”,掌櫃的輕蔑一笑,“本店不出售。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAxS7bvC8MWM
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXihmbno6On
“我出一千金。”魏羽祺一招手,兩個人拿著錦袋走進來,打開袋子,放到櫃台上。店中食客響起一片驚訝聲。31Please respect copyright.PENANAXAsrlWIrHj
31Please respect copyright.PENANA3a8YZ9rblf
“到底賣不賣?”魏羽祺臉帶微笑,榮光照人。31Please respect copyright.PENANAWnXgX98bil
31Please respect copyright.PENANABOEkIB6C7j
“賣,賣!”老板喜笑顏開。“馬上立契約,夥計您是留著還是新招?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAQZgnxkDIil
31Please respect copyright.PENANAl23cli8pIw
“這個不急,店現在是我的了吧。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAV7zyJqJEa1
31Please respect copyright.PENANAGAtwtLORAl
“是,是!”31Please respect copyright.PENANA4HKorSn10h
31Please respect copyright.PENANA7vIuEeGZd3
“現在把那兩個面目可憎的家夥趕出去,以後記住了,不準許他們再來!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAMjsoxXdPMV
31Please respect copyright.PENANA8JWd6p2fTB
幾個夥計為了討好新掌櫃一擁而上,兩個人面如土色,掙扎道:“憑,憑什麽?我們是花錢來吃飯的!”31Please respect copyright.PENANAuWBavtQsHa
31Please respect copyright.PENANAK0dFbdxG1K
“憑我不喜歡。”魏羽祺一揮手,兩人被扔出門外。31Please respect copyright.PENANAlpdt8XvTOI
31Please respect copyright.PENANADrgPWOWAwx
“把招牌菜都端上來,再來兩壺酒,自己家的店不用結帳。”魏羽祺心滿意足地坐了下來。31Please respect copyright.PENANAGZUNujsZNC
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuz4ObryvUg
“掌櫃的,酒您是要?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAARVRMEpnPe
31Please respect copyright.PENANA4WImcUjSY3
“問莊公子。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAYIdKB9GCVO
31Please respect copyright.PENANAlPqxkHveWf
“莊公子,您看.......”31Please respect copyright.PENANAab6kPaCeqv
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqtRSod6yXQ
“隨意隨意”,莊周看向魏羽祺,一臉震驚:“你在哪弄的這麽多錢?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAPHhrvu5VF6
31Please respect copyright.PENANAPy0ryR7RdB
“我把首飾當了。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAMmaHtpmSBq
31Please respect copyright.PENANAh2q0C6xpDe
莊周愕然:“你......你首飾這麽值錢?”31Please respect copyright.PENANA5RRmD64oEz
31Please respect copyright.PENANATM5I0Vepou
魏羽祺微微一笑,朗聲道:“今天我和莊公子請客,所有食客的帳都免了!”酒樓內響起一片叫好聲。她又對店小二吩咐道:“今日不再接新客了,等客人們都離開,關門謝客。我和莊公子吃完飯,再安排酒樓事宜。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAxVqXfmFiFN
31Please respect copyright.PENANAh5wyIcqAOh
兩人邊吃邊談,說說笑笑不覺到了傍晚。此時大門緊閉,連廚師、帳房、夥計在內的四十七人都整齊肅立,等待“新掌櫃”訓話。31Please respect copyright.PENANAhvsPJvAMxT
31Please respect copyright.PENANA5aMbUvFB5v
魏羽祺沒從做過生意,更不知道如何運營酒樓。當初買下齊香閣全憑一時衝動,現在具體該怎麽辦反而有些不知所措。她略一思索,便道:“平常掌櫃不在都是誰管事?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAgarzoK5fd9
31Please respect copyright.PENANAPtcLwxgk7h
一人越眾而出,“是小人代管。小人郝經,是這兒的管事。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAmAjDyrW3Y0
31Please respect copyright.PENANADxkL9nCsgx
“好, 這兒以後由你代管。郝經我問你,天下最好的酒樓在哪?”31Please respect copyright.PENANANwh2NeoKPl
31Please respect copyright.PENANABGQdeaXK6g
“這.......”郝經遲疑不決。31Please respect copyright.PENANAFZRD1bFP9A
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMk3jb78FPl
“齊有‘易牙食坊’,燕有‘鼎烹’,趙有‘鹽梅莊’,周有‘八珍館’,韓有‘不厭精’,楚則‘嘗隻樓’,魏則‘方丈酒家’、‘飲禦院’,太多太多。齊香閣只不過算作中上品質,且不說店面布置,樽俎陳設,單說菜品,鹿筋不去臊,鴨肉太老,魚肉色粉一碰即散,酣蛤火候太大不嫩,兔醢醬必須釀百日方可,羊肉羹是要配苦荼的,你們卻配了豆葉,凡此種種,不一而足,兩個月後我會派專人來指導,你隻管認真看店,誠心待客,好處自然少不了你的,如果敢耍滑頭,我絕對讓你後悔。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA1UccstBfOi
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfifqSar2BU
“小人不敢!”郝經急忙下拜。魏羽祺從小看到父王如何禦下,對於恩威並濟這一套最是了然。故而一上來就賣弄一番,讓眾人不敢小覷欺瞞。31Please respect copyright.PENANAV3ifip81aY
31Please respect copyright.PENANAbB44XUlDi1
莊周滿臉都是欽佩之色,眾人散後,他問魏羽祺:“你說的那些店你都去過嗎?”31Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y07bgt1nA
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMxTTOgSXEc
“有的去過,有的沒去,但聽說過。”31Please respect copyright.PENANA9RllnWTTEG
31Please respect copyright.PENANAm1qk5TZNXG
“那你專門學過廚藝?”31Please respect copyright.PENANAGd207nEJit
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQwErsLSk0z
“沒啊,吃的多了,自然能分辨好壞,你好好跟著我,我一點點教你。”魏羽祺得意笑道。31Please respect copyright.PENANAf5llqmOB32
31Please respect copyright.PENANAszaIimVXlJ
“.......”31Please respect copyright.PENANApZCdpLJFvz
31Please respect copyright.PENANATK8nlnUViz
兩人一早就踏上行程,臨走時魏羽祺囑咐郝經,如果資金出現問題就去萬寶行找辛先生,她有過交代。行了半天路過一個酒家,魏羽祺又恢復到平素奢華的作風連點八個菜,要不是莊周攔著還要繼續點菜,等到結帳的時候,魏羽祺突然一拍頭:“完了。”31Please respect copyright.PENANAN63CvoNuLl
