Chapter 366 Spring Breeze is Gone(1/2)
It seemed like an old Taoist from another world standing there, talking to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.
Suddenly, he kicked off the bench and laughed: "What a fool! From now on, I will be the guest minister of Huishan! The first-class one!"
It is obvious that even if the old man plans to continue setting up a stall to resolve the signing, no one will still be interested in asking for signing.
A slightly joking voice suddenly sounded in the old Taoist priest's ears, "Old immortal, this is in Wudang of Taoist priests all over the mountains. It's inappropriate for you to speak like this."
It was the old Taoist priest who was full of heroism that frowned and turned his head to look at a young young man who he thought could barely be called Yushu. The old Taoist snorted coldly, "So what if I said it? I am a guest minister in Huishantou! Even if I meet them now, I will definitely be able to ask for a cup of tea!"
The young man stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Excellent!"
The woman next to the young man smiled and said with anger: "Old Wu, it was this young man who helped you just now. You are so lard-covered?!"
The old Taoist priest was stunned and immediately changed his expression and smiled and said, "It's me who is rude. Don't blame me."
The old Taoist priest stepped towards the woman's stall, with his Taoist robe and sleeves swaying violently, with a very strong look. "Mistress Han, come on, come on, help me and this young man to bring two Wudang Chunseed Cakes. Remember to spread the cakes bigger. My brother is not short of that money, let alone we are never stingy!"
The woman shook her head on her own, feeling helpless.
She was smart and proficient in her hands and feet, so she quickly handed them a full Wudang spring sesame cake, which was steaming and fragrant.
When he took the Chun Shaobing, the old Taoist wanted to touch the woman's hand, and the latter pulled back his hand faster, not allowing this old man to succeed.
The old Taoist took a big mouthful of spring cake and said with a smile: "My sister Han, why are you doing this hard and tiring job? You can't make a lot of money if you get up early and go into the dark. Otherwise, what if you accompany me to Huishan?"
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "What are you going to do in the Central Plains?"
The old Taoist chuckled and said, "Brother, do you still know what I think, sister?"
The woman was stunned at first, then she said in anger: "Get out!"
The old Taoist said unwillingly: "Girl, your man has disappeared outside Liangzhou Pass very early. What's wrong with remarrying after so many years? Your family is an orphan and widowed mother. How pitiful is it? It's a good thing to have a reliable man to take care of. Besides, haven't you let your brother unbroken the sign before?"
The woman, who was already extremely angry, looked pale and took a few steps forward, pulled the spring cakes from the old Taoist's hand, and threw them to the ground, "Get out! Who do I sell the spring cakes to? I won't sell them to you! No matter how much money I give, I will think they are dirty!"
The old Taoist priest was not angry, but said regretfully: "Oh, Sister Han, you are a good woman, but unfortunately you don't have the life to enjoy happiness. Just think that we are destined to be together."
The woman no longer paid attention to this disrespectful guy.
The old Taoist priest sighed and turned to the young man and smiled, "Okay, I have to go to the Central Plains to enjoy my own happiness. The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever. Young Master, if you go to Huishan to visit in the future, you can report my name to you."
The young man smiled and said, "Okay."
The old Taoist left casually.
The young man asked, "Old Taoist Master, don't even want the stall?"
The old Taoist priest did not turn around, waved his hand, and said open-mindedly: "What do you want to do with such valuable items? It's your share! If you like it, it's yours!"
When the old Taoist priest walked far away, the woman whispered to the young man: "I didn't even tell the young master what his surname was, and I even reported his name. I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen such a thick-skinned person! Fortunately, I heard that this old guy is from Hezhou, otherwise he would have really lost our Beiliang face."
Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "I heard that my sister-in-law is from Lingzhou, Beiliang," she said.
The woman's eyes were strange, and after a while, a sentence appeared, "Young Master asked what this is for?"
Xu Fengnian, who was swallowing Wudang spring cakes, almost choked.
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "Look, I'm scared you, sister-in-law is teasing you."
Xu Fengnian was really amused and laughed. While biting Chun Shaobing, he walked to the stall next door, helped up the bench, turned around and smiled, "Sister-in-law, the guy who invited me to Chun Shaobing ran away, or I'll get a sign for you and I'll use it as a cake money?"
After the frightening woman's trouble, the woman's stall business was deserted. She sat on the bench and reached out to gently beat her waist. She looked at the young man with a gentle smile and said suspiciously: "You can resolve the sign?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "You are good at it!"
The woman shook her head and smiled, "Young Master, but that old guy can lie. How could my sister-in-law be fooled? Don't worry, let's forget about the money for the cake, my sister-in-law invites you."
Xu Fengnian asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, why did you come to this Wudang Mountain stall from Lingzhou?"
The woman said quietly: "My mother's home is here. I came to the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings a few days ago. After seeing the scene here, I thought that I happened to know these skills. I was idle and I felt that setting up a stall would make more money."
Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "I guess my sister-in-law's children are all studying in Mengguan School, right? That's right, books are expensive in our Beiliang, and they are the most expensive."
The woman stopped talking and stared at Xu Fengnian in a daze.
Xu Fengnian, who was a little frustrated, said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I am really not a person like Old Man Wu!"
The woman couldn't help laughing and said, "I can't stand the teasing, but I'm not like our men in Beiliang."
Xu Fengnian pretended to be angry and said, "Sister-in-law, don't scold others."
The woman waved her hand, held a small stool and a bowl of Dingshen Soup, sat opposite Xu Fengnian, and said with a smile: "The cake is for you. This bowl of Dingshen Soup is a sign-up. My sister-in-law is illiterate, so she is not allowed to lie to me."
After eating the spring sesame cake, Xu Fengnian leaned over and took Dingshen soup and took a big sip, "How can it be?"
The woman held up the bamboo tube in her hands and looked pious.
Xu Fengnian sat upright, smiling and silent.
After the sign was placed behind the table, she held the head and tail with her thumb and index fingers. Perhaps since she was illiterate, she didn't have to take a closer look at anything in one go.
She also handed it to Xu Fengnian with both hands.
That speechless heaviness and solemnity seemed to be delivering life.
The common people who have never had a connection with history always believe that there are gods above their heads and will die as if they are alive. Only then will they believe in the blessings of the next life and will they work hard to climb high and burn incense and pray for them.
Xu Fengnian took out the bamboo stick. After reading the signature, the corners of his mouth raised and said softly: "'Forget your feet, you are the right foot, you are the right foot. Forget your waist, you are the right one.' The seventy-second sign is the right one, you are the right one."
The woman is illiterate and can understand the content of the signature text roughly. As for the two words "sign", it is even more concise and concise, and there is no doubt.
She smiled relievedly.
Xu Fengnian took back the bamboo stick and put it in the bamboo tube. After taking a sip of the calming soup, he smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is a good person and will be rewarded."
She smiled calmly.
After that, the two chatted casually, mostly because she said he was listening. She talked about the rural style of Lingzhou in her eyes. Of course, at most the primary school situation of the two children in the family. She said that older children are not bad and not that naughty. Although no one has ever heard of the school teacher praises anything, most of them fail the scholar. Even if they pass the county examination, it is probably not easy to become a child student. But every time she watches the child study with a light and puts on the look of a scholar shaking his head, she will be very happy for no reason. At the same time, the younger child gives her a headache. Ning
She was willing to go to the fields to work, and was not willing to go to a private school to recite the books. She thought about fighting and killing the barbarians at a young age. Finally, she said that she didn't know what other places in Beiliang are now. In the past two years, children could get very cheap books at the small and small private schools in Lingzhou, which was so cheap that people like her who were from poor families thought it was cheap. It was because there was a high-ranking official named Xu in Lingzhou before. It was his idea. It seemed that the high-ranking official said that there were few people in Beiliang, but there were more scholars. She didn't know whether it was true or false. Anyway, those primary school books were indeed much cheaper than in the past five or six years.
So she said that the high-ranking official named Xu was a good person, but it was a pity that he had left Lingzhou and went to Liangzhou to become an official.
Xu Fengnian smiled and looked into the distance, and said softly: "Juzi, everything is good, but the wine tastes a little worse."
The woman didn't understand and didn't ask much.
There was a business there at her stall, and the woman asked, "Young Master, can I get that sign back?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Then I have to look for it. Sister-in-law, go and do it first. I will send it to you if I find it."
She nodded, and after she got up, the woman suddenly turned slightly red and said, "Young master, it's okay to call me aunt, don't call me sister-in-law!"
Xu Fengnian was confused, and the woman snorted coldly and became busy at the stall next door.
Xu Fengnian shook his head, and inexplicably, he lifted the bamboo tube and poured out the bamboo sticks. After Yuchi read Quan and Xuanyuan Qingfeng, five of them were missing.
He found the bamboo stick that the woman shook out and stood up to send it to him.
She found that the young man who was idle enough to be a fortune teller still didn't understand what she meant, so she felt a little embarrassed.
She glanced at the bamboo stick and put it away carefully, raised her head and asked, "Is it that stick? Don't lie to me."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said seriously: "I won't lie."
She smiled and said, "Go, go, sister-in-law won't delay you from cheating people."
Xu Fengnian, who was a little depressed, sat back at the table, returned to his old business, became familiar with the family, and began to attract business carelessly.
But the old Taoist Goat Hu left such a mess, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. In addition, the nearby stalls determined that Xu Fengnian was a charlatan who was tempted by money, and at the young age, he did not wear a foolish Taoist robe at the moment, so he naturally gave people the impression that he was not ashamed to do things. A group of pilgrims and tourists passed by, obviously they didn't stop drawing lots. It was rare that two or three young women wanted to speak and wanted to go forward to shake the sign, but they all politely refused to the elders or men of the same age around them. Xu Fengnian had to drink the Dingshen Soup in a small sip, which was really boring. Xu Fengnian gradually changed from sitting upright with a straight face, crossing his legs, and then lying on the table to shake the sign. Finally, he simply shook out bamboo sticks by himself, without looking at the signature and threw them back.
The woman next door wiped her sweat on her forehead and teased, "Where are you doing business like this? The most difficult thing in the world is to get money from someone else's bags, so you're fine!"
Xu Fengnian sighed and said, "Do you really want me to borrow a Taoist robe from Wudang?"
The woman wondered, "Young Master doesn't look like a person who is short of money. I really want that little money?"
Xu Fengnian subconsciously glanced at the direction of the hut and laughed softly: "My wife is the most unpromising. She only likes to collect copper coins. She doesn't dislike the big ones, she is like a wealthy slave."
The woman was overjoyed, "It's a blessing that your wife is not here!"
Then she persuaded, "Women are like this when they manage their families, young master, please be more open-minded."
Xu Fengnianshen agreed, "This is the reason why swallows carry mud and accumulate small amounts of them."
The woman exhaled a long breath and raised her hand to stroke her sweat-soaked hair, "Sister-in-law, come back first."
Xu Fengnian asked strangely: "Down the mountain so early? So many objects can be moved?"
She pointed to a young woman who was slowly walking from the mountain road outside Lu Zuting and smiled and said, "She is my niece. She sells rouge and water powder in Yuqingguan, a higher mountain. I guess she sold it early. She had to come to help me with her later. Today I'm lazy and go down the mountain early."
Xu Fengnian stood up and said, "Down from here, there are still many mountain roads to go. Sister-in-law, I'd better help you pick a distance?"
She shook her head and said firmly: "No, I look at a lot of things here, but it's actually not heavy."
Xu Fengnian joked: "Sister-in-law, just think I am not good at it. At least I will send you to the archway at the foot of the mountain. Is it OK?"
The woman spat lightly, glared at Xu Fengnian, who was unrestrained, and smiled angrily: "You are not afraid of being disgusted, sister-in-law is afraid! My niece is very stingy. Why, can you look down on her? Then sister-in-law can be a matchmaker again."
Xu Fengnian glanced at the young woman getting closer and closer, gasped. Her waist was not a willow tree, but a big locust tree, and said with a wry smile: "Let's forget it."
While her young niece was not approaching the two adjacent stalls, she faced Xu Fengnian with her gentle eyebrows and lowered her eyes and asked softly: "What are you thinking?"
At this moment, she saw the young man, who looked handsome, especially his eyes were clear and clean, just like the elephant washing pond she saw when she first climbed to Wudang Mountain.
