豈其食魚,必河之鯉?——《詩經·陳風·衡門》21Please respect copyright.PENANAXFdIll5yZi
21Please respect copyright.PENANAVgnaC0yYF9
莊周騎著馬,小公主在後面跟著。“我們要一起走嗎?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA5i8RlZpgis
21Please respect copyright.PENANAuDlTVMcvx7
“當然了,你還欠我錢呢?你跑了我去哪要啊。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAUXevnWgK8O
21Please respect copyright.PENANAZzJyzgOEWz
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANANaVwzv5YhX
21Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kzt8U9fPz
“就這麽點錢你至於嗎!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAUGv6zOWpXl
21Please respect copyright.PENANAN196bwf70U
“這麽點錢你還拿不出來?!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ8i2sJlRU
21Please respect copyright.PENANAmUGT4VeESr
小公主沒辦法,只寫上了魏羽祺三個字。21Please respect copyright.PENANAdoyzmpp0ih
21Please respect copyright.PENANAy5kwoMVpQ7
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANADglOxx7fZT
21Please respect copyright.PENANAqauEaBXdw2
“我還想請你幫個忙。”魏羽祺忽然說。21Please respect copyright.PENANATmt8AWwRcZ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAZC8Q4AwL9Y
“什麽忙?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAltzs0bwNNX
21Please respect copyright.PENANAYH5d3sSWJr
“能不能......再借我點錢。到朝儛這麽遠......”21Please respect copyright.PENANAsaMcsRrsuk
21Please respect copyright.PENANAhIdFW9CwyM
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAMAMJoKVLsQ
21Please respect copyright.PENANA387U6MvgQG
“放心,一到朝儛見到師父就十倍還你。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAFH0wwWtAmw
21Please respect copyright.PENANAgtXe51pFVS
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAoUIIBiYvHc
21Please respect copyright.PENANAbP7lTwqVDU
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAITcM2BKDhX
21Please respect copyright.PENANAZfHAzhkfKB
“這是訛上我了?!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAIQh0vnmdx4
21Please respect copyright.PENANAdazX2DqK6l
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANALn8B1rh2Nr
21Please respect copyright.PENANARNePPC6rUs
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAhVhNpagSTA
21Please respect copyright.PENANA0cPnKgLQTt
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA5cISE79Q1u
21Please respect copyright.PENANAfJodZv55A0
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAHNT7JPDod2
21Please respect copyright.PENANAX1QmPj1zT8
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAGaWrNyukiv
21Please respect copyright.PENANAcMntUOB92w
“這多好啊!你聞,滿街飄香!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5vqSFQN17
21Please respect copyright.PENANAVwOSWM1pzm
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAlrdYGIg9Vk
21Please respect copyright.PENANANqEJVmKRw1
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANASzvBiSz33b
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwivbOeu5Ow
“不識貨你。來來來。”莊周招呼魏羽祺走近攤檔。21Please respect copyright.PENANAuEsYgoWwr8
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUErxNk1m0N
“要去你去!”魏羽祺站在原地不動。21Please respect copyright.PENANATVZjIGkSa6
21Please respect copyright.PENANAMHyiAzO0H9
不一會兒,看見莊周拿著一個竹笥,邊走邊吃,“來,嘗嘗!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAKw28hRfKMl
21Please respect copyright.PENANAc0ZKGKaMsF
一股衝鼻的氣味衝向魏羽祺,“這是什麽?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAaF24yhOgDE
21Please respect copyright.PENANArdQJYv4e16
“濁家羊胃脯,特別好吃!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAGrpAt4PJLI
21Please respect copyright.PENANAhjwtREku2B
“就是羊的胃?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAPRJ5zmGHBF
21Please respect copyright.PENANARVyEC8E6eA
“對,小火熬爛羊胃然後風乾,再撒上椒薑粉........”21Please respect copyright.PENANA2VsGZ8BglR
21Please respect copyright.PENANA0HTZCC6nLB
魏羽祺作勢欲嘔。連連擺手。21Please respect copyright.PENANAY4wl1G0GjX
21Please respect copyright.PENANA53utOSJTav
“不愛吃啊?那還有萍虀餅。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAYvGsdi6Opy
21Please respect copyright.PENANAI6pXo6hmD4
“這是?”魏羽祺抱了一絲希望。21Please respect copyright.PENANAdlNyDplRfx
21Please respect copyright.PENANANHtUdliPFq
“醃的韭萍夾餅,這家醃的汁可酸了,蒜泥也夠。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAaMcPG8U0w6
21Please respect copyright.PENANA8AW9raQKqz
魏羽祺嘔的聲更大了。21Please respect copyright.PENANABcO9sBAjWD
21Please respect copyright.PENANAjS8XAQ77Sf
莊周看向魏羽祺:“你至於嗎?”21Please respect copyright.PENANALodIAspiEa
21Please respect copyright.PENANA8B2Y0kk3eI
“我不吃!”魏羽祺嗔道。21Please respect copyright.PENANAescbBl1qP6
21Please respect copyright.PENANAcC4dTIQtDo
“那你吃什麽?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAtx3vzJ8Imi
21Please respect copyright.PENANA8pqMr4txkN
“我什麽都不吃!”魏羽祺氣得跺腳。21Please respect copyright.PENANAqKpfJJiQ5X
21Please respect copyright.PENANAT0lO3DJAbH
“那好,21Please respect copyright.PENANAmTGYC7CihG
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFeIHyc8c9T
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANA9RtiKMKZNT
21Please respect copyright.PENANAZghapaPS4H
“你確定不吃?過了這村可沒這店了。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAITYDqKBYcT
21Please respect copyright.PENANAbTrjt5iV74
“我就是餓死也不吃這些爛七八糟的東西。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA0IRdQ7p95P
21Please respect copyright.PENANAE3NGXMIrEH
莊周聳聳肩,“天黑了,找個地方住。”21Please respect copyright.PENANACNXTse2BzM
21Please respect copyright.PENANAq71Bc94Lgn
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANABR30oAqveQ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Uy6hvfQl
“這兒一看就是宰客的,剛才我和老濁問好了,跟我走。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA3ycZSSaEpk
21Please respect copyright.PENANABJ7a2fyraT
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!21Please respect copyright.PENANAm562XNDIFt
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUS2ukhZJ2v
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAXWowDm3Jw5
21Please respect copyright.PENANAMrolPb6vhy
“什麽一間,要兩間!”魏羽祺急道。21Please respect copyright.PENANAzxM4HbrEnr
21Please respect copyright.PENANAMPYEhcl1ty
“兩間你付錢嗎?就一間。”莊周一錘定音。21Please respect copyright.PENANAbh2VvVWuzh
21Please respect copyright.PENANAGgfxhcXGnv
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?21Please respect copyright.PENANAYMFxvJyfB0
21Please respect copyright.PENANA99vJZDYJx8
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........”21Please respect copyright.PENANAD3fUIP0DeO
21Please respect copyright.PENANAX5GxuONJb8
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAqvxi3Flp2v
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUECh5oP1TT
“那你呢?!”魏羽祺大感意外。21Please respect copyright.PENANA1cZ12Iaaiu
21Please respect copyright.PENANALY5NBChM5W
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!21Please respect copyright.PENANAiP6GwT79eQ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAdgk41ECKvs
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANA1I8PxcWeqB
21Please respect copyright.PENANAEPKmvKLWtL
“你不睡覺跑這兒來幹嘛?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAp46N4oAIhf
21Please respect copyright.PENANA3MbtpVLsxB
“睡不著出來轉轉。”魏羽祺小臉微紅。21Please respect copyright.PENANAf8tKZYP9o7
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnIgu7GcB48
“那房費不是白付了嘛?快去睡,明日還要趕路。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAdLCbtGPbM3
21Please respect copyright.PENANAIXOOQBIoBg
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?21Please respect copyright.PENANAyQBPsQfJGt
21Please respect copyright.PENANAtMdh3pHPBf
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANArzZyQ1jz5D
21Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Y8u8MJcl
“別,當時叫你吃你不吃,這回可沒帶你的份。”莊周笑道。21Please respect copyright.PENANAq8T40qQw9b
21Please respect copyright.PENANAgKGpPwtDCO
“快給我!”21Please respect copyright.PENANA4FtyFIyiYC
21Please respect copyright.PENANAvCPDjlUPnE
(過了一會兒)21Please respect copyright.PENANATPUJel4W7Z
21Please respect copyright.PENANAlEYG9BdYeO
“你已經吃了三張了還要啊。”莊周無奈。21Please respect copyright.PENANAvlPB1Ij7AV
21Please respect copyright.PENANAS3pMhvvC11
“再來一張,沒想到這麽好吃還不膩。”小公主伸手。21Please respect copyright.PENANAOWrBE9H9bp
21Please respect copyright.PENANAyCsdvgU7KQ
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANALaQp6FrpYm
21Please respect copyright.PENANAtojKSd7hOg
“我們不是一對兒!”莊周急忙說。21Please respect copyright.PENANAADIIinrrRZ
21Please respect copyright.PENANA7HgRDxCMif
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANADhKVW8L4oR
21Please respect copyright.PENANA6OA2AAb4Sg
“隨便。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA7gJ4Kabmwj
21Please respect copyright.PENANAm9qhoAnqW9
莊周大感奇怪:“你不是挺愛逛綢布店的嗎?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA9NcvU2H1cs
21Please respect copyright.PENANAcse3bK3uPS
“你愛怎麽想怎麽想。”21Please respect copyright.PENANASTs33NbYct
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUYcMRos6t6
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ufKVGHyd
21Please respect copyright.PENANAvMylJ2Exzr
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAhXEanqixYf
21Please respect copyright.PENANAgegSnGVqBK
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA21dqUhAz4j
21Please respect copyright.PENANAp162eU2fa8
門開了一個縫兒,“你遞進來就行。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAmrKVI7ymUu
21Please respect copyright.PENANAfuoZWGWAdk
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAOaQ321g2r3
21Please respect copyright.PENANAZEJu1qYMwu
“就是你。”21Please respect copyright.PENANATfaOB2cr1p
21Please respect copyright.PENANAPSjPwe39Y9
“我怎麽欺負你了?”莊周摸不著頭腦。21Please respect copyright.PENANAbogwwP9MOj
21Please respect copyright.PENANAJd712ZuRE8
“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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAYR0t2ePSDS

21Please respect copyright.PENANAevLKpWLd4Q
“怎麽可能?你那麽好看!”莊周脫口而出21Please respect copyright.PENANAZkWqhyfax9
21Please respect copyright.PENANAXW8EORDWwA
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANACrQSFXpIIJ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAiJONRWXrOE
“等等,你在房間裡睡吧。”21Please respect copyright.PENANArxr2n7saJG
21Please respect copyright.PENANAGszn3AHTWS
“什麽!”莊周望著那一張床,驚道。21Please respect copyright.PENANASrYGYcQfmb
21Please respect copyright.PENANAkrSsqHVCmp
“你想什麽呢!你睡地上,我睡床上。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA7qHD2fQBTY

“只要你別圖謀不軌就行。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA5M6W9q1uM6

“我倒怕你圖謀不軌。”莊周笑著說。21Please respect copyright.PENANAyX2NemRL25
21Please respect copyright.PENANAE7WQqjPGS0
魏羽祺作勢要打:“還敢亂說!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAy1Ve80p9Xw
21Please respect copyright.PENANA5107EPh6Sc
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA0vBzEeleDU
21Please respect copyright.PENANAEu8YgNBubV
“老子的《德經》和《道經》。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA7OCgduLaOt

“你真的沒學過縱橫術?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAxlo2n8S3YH
21Please respect copyright.PENANAXspvkRQa4J
“我都說了多少遍了,真沒學過。我都不知道縱橫術是什麽。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAYWeUlBi5z1
21Please respect copyright.PENANA5Iu7fcmhGs
“那其他道術呢?”21Please respect copyright.PENANArAQVDPtx6T
21Please respect copyright.PENANA16wAE9vitY
“沒學過,道術是什麽意思?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAoFVXzPwVEL
21Please respect copyright.PENANAbMdGUK9UtE
“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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAa8WbzJJN6Q
21Please respect copyright.PENANAdEUXsKfGep
“我真的不知道。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA790quUkAeR
21Please respect copyright.PENANAgHXgO5GAVm
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAzp3AzmjiZd
21Please respect copyright.PENANAL4hAEr8Lqz
“那是什麽?”21Please respect copyright.PENANACDM2PzYqsm
21Please respect copyright.PENANAyA7FjSuwKG
“‘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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA2IXOnfhvoJ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFSntb18Xm0
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAUiS5TUg6lC
21Please respect copyright.PENANAbLhvB3cXMw
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAIx1QTrejOa
21Please respect copyright.PENANARS1kUm1nvw
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAH3bBm1VD7m
21Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Xz5NgFrL
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANA9wz8JhuzKg
21Please respect copyright.PENANAkXvmRTY5sW
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAgRSoOIexJJ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAuEkeCgg5K5
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAQDSZYzB7pu
21Please respect copyright.PENANAn35AWELBdj
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANA2KFUFBdB2N
21Please respect copyright.PENANAjo6YT5AYzY
莊周讚道:“齊人說‘即墨之饒,與臨淄並誇殷盛’,果然不虛。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAQeZKLS2Oo1
21Please respect copyright.PENANAmLQMVyQN7z
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAjZNXHFXxnR
21Please respect copyright.PENANAPvpcmdDR6S
“你總說大梁,大梁,那是你家鄉嗎?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAmSy6sj63bQ
21Please respect copyright.PENANABgWQ4rGMmZ
“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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAMm2DRS0lR7
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnOiCT9zgaN
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”。21Please respect copyright.PENANAes80kXMroA
21Please respect copyright.PENANAQRfPNgEoza
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANApgqIGMswkZ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFvMjIFRTKP
“在哪不一樣啊。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAhw6mZvboZm

“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAcSr1qIc6hn
21Please respect copyright.PENANAlc4KIiRFGp
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANACkUcQFuVFT
21Please respect copyright.PENANAvDK3Ll7aiG
“嗯嗯!”小公主如小雞啄米般點頭。21Please respect copyright.PENANAseIOrsr8Qz
21Please respect copyright.PENANASAZFKynSER
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAld90uWcFgO
21Please respect copyright.PENANAXRGTpzYNSA
“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.......”21Please respect copyright.PENANAZUZJnm8BPZ
21Please respect copyright.PENANA3i023GN4hz
還沒等店小二說完,莊周驚道:“居然要三十錢!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAgAJLAAV4T2
21Please respect copyright.PENANAMRUKpYSsto
魏羽祺給莊周使了個眼色,“就這個吧,你們還有什麽特色?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAer6fwnhl5a

“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......”21Please respect copyright.PENANAD6dRHrggBA
21Please respect copyright.PENANAn7ClBjHDU5
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAR4qXfqkceI
21Please respect copyright.PENANAtqmntiqp3E
“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.......”21Please respect copyright.PENANAGMEdIIqT5c
21Please respect copyright.PENANAun0d4YCIV7
“停,就要這個了!”魏羽祺趕忙道,“再來一壺梅漿。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAyxMgKuRx0p
21Please respect copyright.PENANAy3RKveiO1L
“你!”莊周指向魏羽祺。21Please respect copyright.PENANAT6JCgtJqLS
21Please respect copyright.PENANA6kJDLgSZcf
魏羽祺迅速用菜單擋住自己的臉,小聲說道:“飲品不算菜裡。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAAqfyU9mzrk
21Please respect copyright.PENANARvZRwkPN0G
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9z78Mx4k2
21Please respect copyright.PENANAoZYRjsv8gL
“你說誰!”魏羽祺一下子站了起來。21Please respect copyright.PENANAVy100bKRXP
21Please respect copyright.PENANAEfMjAhckzr
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAVDifr8O7DM
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFyG1hCaiDZ
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANALZdrAWfmQs
21Please respect copyright.PENANAv5SE2IKEdq
魏羽祺冷笑道:“你們也配?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAmSa9iBy94Z
21Please respect copyright.PENANAgCOW0hbS34
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAF3NaLwOewL
21Please respect copyright.PENANAxb7v1A3XmV
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAVv0Q1KPDCU
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUm3rFaW85m
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAlUi28tykkz
21Please respect copyright.PENANAK1WYYKcTzh
魏羽祺微微一笑:“好啊,本姑娘今天高興,就把這兒買下來吧。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAzki4gslbrf
21Please respect copyright.PENANAqfWpCGCLtw
“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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAvz7jNDtwMM
21Please respect copyright.PENANAkfIkCaSs1d
莊周勸道:“坐下,不要和他們置氣。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAbCl1lTHJ9r
21Please respect copyright.PENANArbkPNtBLEH
“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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANALIeF7y9ztR
21Please respect copyright.PENANAmVtBfTvQio
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANApIwWCDkHKL
21Please respect copyright.PENANAIDi8I5vPbg
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAZRhmIHGNua
21Please respect copyright.PENANAaBzUheeuAM
掌櫃急忙出迎,魏羽祺開口便問:“齊香閣多少錢?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zu1aHRRMJ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAGeAVJ3EHOe
“什麽?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAt5ZyDBFuXN
21Please respect copyright.PENANAR0lBBV2ZPy
“我問齊香閣值多少錢?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAGD7TpU9Cg3
21Please respect copyright.PENANARESplqcFeT
掌櫃的摸不著頭腦,下意識答道:“怎麽也得值個六七百金吧。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAJKMvANNO5g
21Please respect copyright.PENANAkoCO726Btc
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAT2zPO8v1kV
21Please respect copyright.PENANA2wfevM8zXP
一千金,這少女瘋了吧!21Please respect copyright.PENANA8EgBfTuX2X
21Please respect copyright.PENANApxKuySYZWR
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANATbncV3Odvz
21Please respect copyright.PENANAt1FOyjJkZv
內堂走出一個男子:“不是說了,沒事不要叫我。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAYxUaASaHh4
21Please respect copyright.PENANAfXk6VHDwaW
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANA7LdIzRFcvz
21Please respect copyright.PENANAw5EAoIjzbZ
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANA2pROQ3k8Q7
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwpOALwzJCx
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANANXZEUlTZEt
21Please respect copyright.PENANACR1pgInwtf
“有人送的,另一隻我不當,怎麽了?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA41wiCYwXd5
21Please respect copyright.PENANAhzY2bz9paG
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAjx7VFgj9ie
21Please respect copyright.PENANAamy6lrytRO
“這位小姐要當多少錢?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAPMI0ZaeSmg
21Please respect copyright.PENANAcwk6OIiMKI
“一千金。”21Please respect copyright.PENANArioltEalCf
21Please respect copyright.PENANAGzWvYHVauM
“馬上拿錢!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAuMUXiXpgC0
21Please respect copyright.PENANAEzhDtcgAGI
“可是帳上只有六百四十金。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAym9Wj7gWmZ
21Please respect copyright.PENANADvapR5fk8X
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANArHIPe7Q76M
21Please respect copyright.PENANAsNEoIufayg
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAK92AVQ7eUC
21Please respect copyright.PENANAAzUjDAaBVU
掌櫃的問道:“請問客人有何貴乾?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4lH586NvB
21Please respect copyright.PENANA4ogQ7VsQcV
“我要買你的店。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAa0L7dKvuAv
21Please respect copyright.PENANAWv0FXYsb7S
“切”,掌櫃的輕蔑一笑,“本店不出售。”21Please respect copyright.PENANASzFz2mFMew
21Please respect copyright.PENANAMJF8UcydIk
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAsWQ2oPJu62
21Please respect copyright.PENANA8JT1O6OINN
“到底賣不賣?”魏羽祺臉帶微笑,榮光照人。21Please respect copyright.PENANAdUJwSwQWhG
21Please respect copyright.PENANALMlsMn0AY6
“賣,賣!”老板喜笑顏開。“馬上立契約,夥計您是留著還是新招?”21Please respect copyright.PENANARWPLwkA9XN
21Please respect copyright.PENANAg61xSkUq0P
“這個不急,店現在是我的了吧。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAKR73nO1TxB
21Please respect copyright.PENANAzBQPHyhID7
“是,是!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAUfEO94Fh7Y
21Please respect copyright.PENANA0ek4if585z
“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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAEX903TTVFp
21Please respect copyright.PENANA2U1cwXpOm9
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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANANcDhCZTGI8
21Please respect copyright.PENANAPNbjYNmRag
“憑我不喜歡。”魏羽祺一揮手,兩人被扔出門外。21Please respect copyright.PENANAAkW3modGGk
21Please respect copyright.PENANAIH4lYUXQU4
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ckkk7tsB7
21Please respect copyright.PENANA0CZz8PsNXa
“掌櫃的,酒您是要?”21Please respect copyright.PENANABJwiZQGhgb
21Please respect copyright.PENANA8b42fNF8IH
“問莊公子。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAnpLwrvp75L
21Please respect copyright.PENANAj1WhwEPXqa
“莊公子,您看.......”21Please respect copyright.PENANAm64UKrQey1
21Please respect copyright.PENANAxt5NewxFIj
“隨意隨意”,莊周看向魏羽祺,一臉震驚:“你在哪弄的這麽多錢?”21Please respect copyright.PENANACUyjGohuMz
21Please respect copyright.PENANAOWso63bYhw
“我把首飾當了。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAUraJWvSTcy
21Please respect copyright.PENANAkC4CFQAjYv
莊周愕然:“你......你首飾這麽值錢?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAoytFA07AtQ
21Please respect copyright.PENANAlh8Wu8ynIw
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANACdJKwYptfr
21Please respect copyright.PENANAyLkNY4zIZ8
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。21Please respect copyright.PENANASiOCUUJNui
21Please respect copyright.PENANAIV56F83C5Y
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA1CxuWUcAgf
21Please respect copyright.PENANAGmBJ89vV47
一人越眾而出,“是小人代管。小人郝經,是這兒的管事。”21Please respect copyright.PENANApJbV07ko7y
21Please respect copyright.PENANATjPOx8x65r
“好, 這兒以後由你代管。郝經我問你,天下最好的酒樓在哪?”21Please respect copyright.PENANADDgCOEbYRx
21Please respect copyright.PENANASXIAZfoBel
“這.......”郝經遲疑不決。21Please respect copyright.PENANAtWGXfmwvMu
21Please respect copyright.PENANAHb4qLJ2oMh
“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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAgZkYINDd5c
21Please respect copyright.PENANA6nOomZagQz
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANANlHkuXd9E7
21Please respect copyright.PENANAV0VOuFp9qK
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?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAJuoK3h4XLO
21Please respect copyright.PENANALv6jtvQrJE
“有的去過,有的沒去,但聽說過。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAsVoyL6KqYl
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFo2lxiVkRI
“那你專門學過廚藝?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAwxfZGx2JcL
21Please respect copyright.PENANAeRWkPd6ePz
“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。21Please respect copyright.PENANAfCF8uHCovP
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwzCxX8iiRh
“.......”21Please respect copyright.PENANAkyb9tdgpRf
21Please respect copyright.PENANAHa7q0a9cJc
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。”21Please respect copyright.PENANAg3Xc6omjWN
