Everyone was amazed that this story is very good for everyone's taste.

The storyteller smiled and said, "This is a real story not long ago. It has just spread and not many people know about it. I also came back from the capital and heard of this story. It is said that this imperial concubine has been welcomed into the palace and will be awarded the title soon."

Everyone raised the bowl together and greeted the popular wine of the story, but when he saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little upset.

After all, he was in high spirits just now and had already killed the wine in his bowl in one sip.

Fang Chang noticed his expression, laughed, picked up his gourd, and gave the story-telling guy a full of the story-telling brother. The latter was overjoyed and quickly thanked Fang Chang. Fang Chang smiled and said, "This is because your story is well told, which is my respect."

Seeing the story told so much that it was so drunk, everyone's desire to express themselves became stronger.

Someone said again:

"I heard a short story a few days ago, which was very interesting. Let me tell you what I said."

"There is an unknown small town in Jiangnan. A person becomes particularly hideous and terrifying after he recovers from illness. Anyone who sees it will inevitably be afraid. But this person has loved beauty since he was a child, and when he sees himself like this, he cannot accept it, so he is ready to take revenge on the world."

"He went out quietly when there were few people in the evening and looked for targets, but he saw an old lady sitting on the street begging. So he walked up and threw two copper coins to attract attention. Then he slowly came up and shouted softly: 'Old lady... am I beautiful?'"

"This person was meant to scare the poor old lady, but the old lady looked up and said, 'Of course, you are so beautiful.' This surprised the man and laughed out loud: 'Hahaha, I am so beautiful?' This smile made his face even more ferocious and terrifying. In addition, it was evening around, so ghosts and gods would probably be scared to the ground."

"He continued to step forward, but saw that the old lady's eyes were closed, so he exclaimed in his heart: 'She is blind?' At this time, he heard the old lady in front of him say: 'It's almost night, you are willing to help me, a useless old lady, who must be a person who looks as beautiful as his soul.'"

"When he heard this, he originally wanted to scare the old lady. He was silent for a long time, then left all the money on him and turned around and left silently."

Hearing this, everyone in the front hall was silent, some were moved, and some were thought deeply.

Everyone felt that this story was very interesting, but this person hadn't finished talking yet, so he continued to preach:

"After a while, the old lady secretly looked in the direction he left, and saw that she could no longer see his back, immediately rushed from the ground, grabbed the money in front of her, and ran away in panic."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they burst into laughter.

The originally charming story instantly became absurd.

Fang Chang also laughed, picked up the gourd, and poured half a bowl of wine for the person who told the story.

The night gradually became deeper, and everyone had a great time chatting, and had a great time drinking, and went back to the house to rest. However, Fang Chang stopped the person who had just teased each other with Brother Lin and said he wanted to have a few words to talk.

The other party didn't know what happened to Fang Chang, but when he saw that it was the one who just delivered the drinks to everyone, he was naturally willing to give face. So when everyone returned to the room, he stayed and sat opposite Fang Chang:

"I don't know what's wrong with you?"

Fang Chang said, "I just heard from you that the old man in Huaifeng Mansion is no longer here? He and I were nodded at the beginning, but we have not seen each other for many years. According to his age, he has not been in his prime and should not have left so early."

Hearing that it was this problem, the other party felt relieved and explained:

"Well, Lao Xie, Huaifeng Mansion, has been traveling all year round and is in good health. His death was an accident. At that time, two thieves in the scissors bullied the good, and were preparing to hurt people while robbing money. So Lao Xie fought hard, killed all the two thieves, and saved several women and children who were traveling with him."

"It is said that the scene was extremely tragic, and Lao Xie was not killed. Everyone who cared about his kindness was grateful for his virtue, took care of his affairs, and helped his son study. But Xiao Xie's ambition was to inherit his father's career, so he took Lao Xie's shoulder pole and became a porter between the two palaces."

The prosperity of Huqiao Town is a few points better than before.

Not only did the economic exchanges between the various prefectures in the Xin Dynasty become more prosperous, but also because many surrounding villages and towns found some suitable industries, they all flourished one after another. This made the Fuhu Cake in Huqiao Town rise again - the last time the price of Fuhu Cake rose was when prices soared during the Great Job period.

The school in Huqiao Town has been renovated and expanded, with a large number of children inside. In addition to Xu Wuren, there are also two more men, one man and one woman.

After many years of rapid passage, the blacksmith shops and taverns had changed. Even the "vegetables grown" who grew vegetables on the town had passed away. The vegetable beds around the town had become larger and were double-teamed by houses because of the size of the town.

The houses of Ah Huang and A Niu have changed. The brick and tile houses have turned out to be old, but the door openings and courtyard walls are newly flipped. The children have become young people and have already started a family and started a business.

Fang Chang walked to the mutton noodle stall and ordered a bowl of mutton noodle without adding eggs.

The stall owner is still Xu Lianrong and his wife. But more than ten years have passed, and they are a little older than they last saw, with a few more white silk on their temples. Their skills in making noodles have become more refined, smooth and stable as time goes by.

The taste of mutton noodles has changed a lot, but it feels good.

Fang Chang saw a young man next to him looking a little familiar, so he asked directly: "Your Excellency looks kind, I don't know where you are from?" For him, asking directly is much more convenient and comfortable than using spiritual sense to divine, so Fang Chang prefers to watch and listen.

The young man looked at Fang Chang and saw that he was young outside and made people feel good about it. So he patted the shoulder pole next to him and replied generously:

"I'm the surname Xie, and I'm running errands between Huaifeng Mansion and Long'an Mansion to make a living, who is your lord?"

"My name is Fang Chang." Fang Chang nodded and said. The young man in front of him was indeed very similar to the old Xie of Huaifeng Mansion, so he asked.

"Oh? Ah, Jiazun mentioned this name when he was alive, but..."

"It's me, I met Lingzun several times back then."

"It turned out to be Uncle Fang Shi, who was rude." The young man stood up and said, and then he sat down and started chatting: "I liked this mutton noodles when Jiazun was alive. Now I also liked the noodles here very much. Every time I came back from Long'an Mansion, I had to eat two bowls when I stayed overnight in Huqiao Town."
