Chapter 293 Talented Hero
Chapter 293: Talented Hero
The owner of "Mengqiao Inn" is a capable middle-aged man. He knew that the two people in front of him were extraordinary. Seeing Sun Ce attached to Zhou Yu's ear and whispered, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Do you two have any doubts about the name of the shop?"
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "That's not the case. But... the store, why did you name this store Mengqiao?"
The inn owner Zhan Yan smiled and showed two wide front teeth. "The shop is not my own, so I took it from the original owner this year. The original owner was a wealthy scholar named Jiao Yun. He hired some capable men and the inn business was quite good. Unexpectedly, something happened last spring that made Jiao Yun so tired that he had no bones. He personally changed the shop to Mengqiao Inn. Soon after, he passed away and the inn was ruined."
Sun Ce listened with relish and asked quickly: "Shopkeeper, what happened? How could he torment someone like that?"
The inn owner sighed lightly and replied in a deep voice: "Didn't you still have a lovesickness disease? Once this person gets this disease, he will be not far from death."
"Meng Qiao Inn? Meng~~ Qiao~~" Zhou Yu murmured to himself, his mind suddenly changed. Could it be that the man was thinking about a girl named Qiao? Could that girl be one of the two Qiaos, a famous beauties in history?
The inn owner continued Zhou Yu's words and said, "The guest official is right. The name of the dream Qiao Inn is to commemorate the girl named Qiao he met. Last spring, Jiao Yun went out for an outing outside the city and met a girl named Qiao Ying. He admired his beauty and came forward to chat with her. Unexpectedly, the girl was cold-eyed and called him a disciple. Jiao Yun passed by shame, and since then he has fallen in love with Qiao Ying's name every day. He has become thinner and thinner. In the end, he couldn't stand it. He still passed away when he closed his eyes. He called Qiao Ying's name before he died."
Sun Ce laughed and said, "It turns out it's unrequited love, but that Miss Qiao Ying is also a little more ferocious, and she hurts a promising young scholar like that. I don't like such a person even if he is beautiful."
The inn owner also smiled and said, "The guest official doesn't know anything. This Miss Qiao Ying is very famous here. Songzhu Er Qiao's House, Xueyun Sanzu Mountain. Have you heard of this poem?"
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce shook their heads together and said, "No."
Then Zhou Yu blurted out and said, "Are you talking about the home of Erqiao in Jiangdong?"
The inn owner glanced at Zhou Yu deeply and replied, "That's right. It turns out that the guest officer also knows the name of Erqiao in Jiangdong."
Sun Ce asked with interest: "Erqiao from Jiangdong? Are there two bridges?"
Zhou Yu laughed, pounded Sun Ce gently, and said, "Bo Fu, you are pretending to be confused when you understand."
The inn owner also smiled and said, "This guest official, these two Qiao are not two bridges, but two beautiful women named Qiao. It is in the eastern suburbs of Wancheng, surrounded by streams, and pine bamboos hide a village called Qiaozhuang, which is where they live. The sister is Qiao Ying, known as Da Qiao, and the sister is Qiao Qian, and known as Xiao Qiao."
"Aren't it just two beauties? They are not talents who can make peace and stability. When we succeed, will there be a lot of beauties to choose from?" Sun Ce showed disdain.
"You really don't know this guest," the inn owner saw that Sun Ce despised Er Qiao a little, and couldn't help but stand up. "Although there are many beauties in the world, there are only a handful of people who can truly compare with the Qiao sisters here."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I hope to hear the details."
At this time, a few more Confucian scholars came in to stay. The inn owner hurriedly sent a few friends to greet the customers who entered the store. Then he cleared his throat and said in a slightly admiring tone: "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are both loved by Gong Qiao. The two are very beautiful, have a charming look, bright and radiant, and can be called a peerless beauties. In addition to their beauty, they also have their own specialties. Da Qiao is agile and has been a famous teacher since childhood. He is good at writing and writing, especially in calligraphy and painting. Xiao Qiao is gentle and charming, talented, has a good academic knowledge of piano and chess, and is proficient in music. The two Qiaos work together, they are both good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they have their own strengths."
Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little moved and asked, "A woman with such a talented and beautiful woman should have gotten married long ago, right?"
The inn owner smiled and replied, "Da Qiao is seventeen this year, Xiao Qiao is sixteen this year, and it is time to talk about her husband's family. However, the people who came to propose marriage had long broken the threshold of their family, but none of the two sisters were interested in it, claiming that they were not the great heroes of the world and would not marry."
The heroes of the world? Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other and smiled knowingly. If we were to talk about the young heroes of the world, they would definitely be ranked first.
At this time, the inn owner asked carefully: "Two guests, I see you two handsome and majestic. I believe you are not the young masters of ordinary people. Are you also here to attend the "Talented Heroes Conference"?"
"Talented Heroes Conference?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh. This kind of person would remind people of the martial arts conference in the world. I wonder what kind of people would come to participate.
"Yes~~" the inn owner nodded quickly, "The Talented Heroes Conference was held by Mr. Qiao in order for the Erqiao sister to get to know the young heroes in his mind. Mr. Qiao was not convenient for the Erqiao sister to show his face, so Mr. Qiao came on his behalf to invite the young talents from Jiangdong to the Qiao family to compete for literary talent and martial arts. Look, many guests have come one after another these days, and even my dilapidated Mengqiao Inn is almost full."
This Qiao Gong seemed quite enlightened. Zhou Yu thought to himself that the social atmosphere at this time was still relatively open-minded. Although women were not as strong as the "half of the sky" in later generations, they could still show up in public.
When Sun Ce heard this, he looked around quietly. After the inn owner said this, he saw that the people stayed in the hotel and the people who had dinner were all young people. Everyone was dressed in a decent manner and looked handsome and handsome. Some people dressed in servants surrounded them, looking like servants, but in fact they were all people with martial arts, so they must be guards.
Sun Ce suddenly became more interested in competing with his superiors and his interest increased greatly. He asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, they are all going to attend the conference. When will this talented hero conference begin?"
The inn owner replied with a smile: "Tomorrow will officially begin. If the customer wants to participate, the shop's shop's shop will take the guests who stay in the hotel tomorrow morning."
While Sun Ce was talking to the inn owner, Zhou Yu carefully observed the situation in the store from the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes paused and fell on a young man sitting in the corner.
I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
