When the old man returned to Lao Bizhai, Linshiqi Lane, Sangsang was still squatting in front of the stove, looking at the burning firewood with his brows, and focused on the magical techniques he had learned in daily life.
"Let's have a meal." said the old man.
Sangsang had been in a daze before, but he didn't notice that the old man had left for a while. He was stunned and stood up. Looking at the edge of the old man's wet with snow, he vaguely understood something, the corners of his lips slowly raised up, and he smiled.
Smile.
The old man also smiled and sat next to the table.
Sangsang didn't ask him what he had done after leaving Lao Bizhai, and served him a bowl of rice, then heated the yellow croaker, picked up the most plump rice pile in his bowl, and poured it on another one.
Spoon of delicious steaming soup.
"What dish did Aunt Wu make at noon?"
"Garlic and oily vegetables."
Sangsang asked, “Is it delicious?,.
The old man replied: "It's still good...but I don't understand why Ru Qing puts salted fish in the vegetables."
Sangsang raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why should I put salted fish?"
The old man was puzzled and looked at her little face and said, "But you put it in the last time you cooked oilseed."
Sangsang lowered his head and said, "When the young master was cooking oil and maize, he didn't even have garlic."
The old man was stunned and sighed with emotion: "Well, I remember..." When I went to the Taoist temple, it was hard to see even oil. I don't know what happened. When I got old, I was a little greedy for these things.
External enjoyment.”
"Young Master said this is called "Freshness to Extravagance" and "Freshness to Extravagance to Difficulty, everyone is the same... Teacher, don't blame yourself."
Sangsang comforted him.
As soon as the next day was dawn, the old man got up, carefully folded the quilt on the table, put it back into the corner behind the shelf, then pushed open the door of the old Bizhai shop, looked at the morning light in the distance, and narrowed his eyes.
.
Last night, Sangsang reposted Ning Que's sentence "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality..." Inexplicably touched him... He found that he was a little too greedy for life and life in Lao Bizhai, and it was actually
Forgot to look for the shadow of the night.
I still had sour and sour noodles soup in the morning. When the old man was about to carve a bowl, Sangsang signaled her to come and let the old man rest. The old man smiled and said that he was going to go out for a walk today and might not come back for lunch.
It's right.
"It's good to go out and stroll... It's not a big deal to stay at home all day."
Sangsang thought for a while, took out a piece of silver from his belt and handed it to him, and told him, "If you are tired of shopping, you can sit in the tea shop. Don't be reluctant to leave money, but don't go too far. If you can't remember the road, don't
Sorry, I ask people, the people in Chang'an City are very enthusiastic... If it really doesn't work, just find a gambling house to report the name of Master Qi, and someone will send you back."
The old man was afraid of the nagging of the girl, so he took the broken silver and put it in his arms carefully. Lianlian was probably out of the door.
Leaving Linfoss Alley... He headed north, passed the palace from the East City and left the Xuanwu Gate and left Chang'an City, and came to a small hill covered with winter snow in the north of the city. He climbed up to look far... Of course, he could see it very much
In the distance, the old man looked to the north silently, and saw that the morning star was dim, as if it was about to be melted into his bright body by the brilliance of the sky.
There is extremely shallow snow on the plum branches in the back garden of Nanmenguanguan.
National Master Li Qingshan leaned lazily against the windowsill, looking at the snow on the plum branches and the small buds that seemed to never bloom, suddenly coughed violently, and the cough echoed in the quiet Taoist temple, sounding extremely painful
He let go of the handkerchief that covered his lips. The snow-white handkerchief was as bright red blood as blooming like plum blossoms. He looked at the plum outside the window annoyedly and scolded: "It should be blooming in winter but it never blooms, so let your family be the first
A few flowers bloomed."
The Taoist nuns and Taoist pavilions in the south gate were silently guarding outside the hall, with their faces full of worry, but no one dared to go in.
He Mingchi walked over with a medicine bowl, signaling a senior sister to take away the yellow paper umbrella under her armpit, walk onto the dark and smooth paulownia floor, and walk behind Li Qingshan and say in pain: "Master, you can't divination again."
.”
Li Qingshan took the medicine bowl and drank it slowly, folded the blood-stained handkerchief, wiped off the medicine juice left on his beard, looked at his beloved disciple, and said expressionlessly: "Wei Guangming appeared last night,
Sure enough, I am still in Chang'an City, with the location between the three squares, but I vaguely meant to leave. I must hurry up on this matter.”
He Mingchi took the medicine bowl and said, "The military headquarters and Tianshu office have begun to prepare, but they are just worried about disturbing the man, so they have not yet searched the streets and alleys north of Xiangfang. Now only the master is there."
Thinking that the senior brother was alone in the East City, he was looking for the powerful and terrifying guy, Li Qingshan was silent for a long time and nodded, without saying anything, waved his hand to signal the people outside the hall to scatter and the disciple retreated.
A black carriage is driving slowly on the streets of Dongcheng, Chang'an. If you don't get close to see or even touch it with your hands, it is difficult to find that the carriage carriage is made of steel, with some complicated and unspeakable patterns on it.
The special wheels rolled on the hard stone road and rumbling, making them extremely heavy.
Master Yan Se in the carriage leaned against the soft seat of the golden silhouette. The eyes shot out from the triangle's eyes greedily searched through the curtains and searched the traces of the great priest of the Light. Where could he see the heavyness on the old and vulgar face?
If we can really meet, we will fight. If we really can't beat the other party, we will die. If we kick our legs and swallow, it is not a very important thing. As long as we are a person, there will be that day, let alone, I have it.
successor.
The eaves of the newly built Spring Breeze Pavilion were swept through the window. Master Yan Se suddenly remembered Chao Xiaoshu, and then thought of his disciple who had no news when he left. The disciple was a student on the second floor of the academy. The master naturally didn't bother to worry about him.
I feel a little regretful if I think I may not have the chance to meet again.
At this moment, he remembered that before Ning Que left Chang'an City, he had carefully asked himself to help take care of the little maid named Sangsang, but he was busy with that matter these days, and he forgot to go and see... The old Taoist
He shook his head and thought to himself that Xue Ran was going to look for that old guy in Dongcheng today, so he could go and take a look after the matter was done.
The first person to come to Lao Bizhai today was not Master Yan Se, nor the old man who came back from looking out to the north outside Chang'an City... but a... a young fat man. When the fat man jumped out of the carriage, he was forty.
Although the stone slabs on the streets of Qixiang did not tremble like an earthquake, the flesh beside his round face had really rippled for a long time.
The young fat man pushed open the closed door of the old Bizhai Shop and sat down into the ring chair that Ning Que used for use. He felt that the flesh on his thigh was a little painful. He whispered a few words in anger, and then shouted loudly: "Go up."
Tea."
He really didn't treat himself as an outsider.
Sangsang was preparing pine branches and yellow bacon in the backyard... This was the craft she had just learned from Aunt Wu, and was about to get dozens of pounds to surprise Ning Que. Suddenly, he heard a shout from Tao's face... He thought that the door had been closed recently
I couldn't help but be surprised and took a towel... While wiping my hands, I walked into the front shop and closed the door as soon as possible
The young fat man looked at the thin black maid who was walking over and ignored him... He went to close the shop door first, but was stunned. He then frowned and said, "The shop door is closed in broad daylight, how can he do business?"
Sangsang explained: "If you open the shop door, the threshold will be trampled by the person who comes to steal the book."
The young fat man was stunned, thinking that this is indeed the truth, and he actually forgot the huge name Ning Que is in Chang'an City now... Looking at the little maid, he asked, "My name is Chen Pipi, have you ever heard Ning Que say it
Pass?"
Sangsang was not surprised to hear the name, and Weifu bowed and said, "Sangsang has met Mr. Chen."
Chen Pipi rubbed her cute round chin, looked up and down at the short and thin girl Shitao, and suddenly shook her head and said, "It makes sense to ask Ning Que to take care of me... Although this genius is born with extraordinary temperament, you can tell at first glance.
It’s not a turbid person in the world, but you are still too credulous in this way… I’m afraid there will be problems.”
Sangsang said, "I know you are Chen Pipi."
She has been to the academy several times, but the two of them have passed by Chengchao... Chen Pipi believes that her memory that stands out for the crowd will never have any problems, and she is puzzled by her fellow disciples: "Why are you sure that this genius is this genius?"
Sangsang looked at him and explained the scriptures seriously, "The young master often mentioned you. He said that you are as fat as you, but not ugly, and you will never be naughty or disgusting. You can even say that there are not many people who look good, so I know you are you."
Chen Pipi's right hand, which rubbed her chin, froze slightly, thinking that she didn't know how Liningque slandered herself in front of this little maid, but she felt that although this comment mentioned fat, it seemed to be helpful, and she didn't know how to answer.
"I won't say this."
Chen Pipi coughed twice, pretended to be serious and mature, and looked at Sangsang and said, "I came here today, so I naturally came to see you at Ning Que's request. After all, as a senior brother, I have this responsibility and obligation."
He hoped that Sangsang would show a touching look, but Sangsang obviously did not have this or the reaction. He just looked at him with expressionless expression and said softly, and then went to make a bowl of cheap flower cuckold for him.
Chen Pipi looked at her back and said, "My junior brother said he wanted to invite me to come here for a meal. He said your skills are good."
Sangsang looked at his chubby face, frowned and thought that it was no wonder that he would win, but he had no intention of keeping a guest. He put the tea bowl next to him and said softly: "After the young master comes back, Sangsang will cook for Mr. Chen.
.”
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious and clear. Ning Que invites you to dinner and has to wait for him to speak in person. If you rashly come to the door to plan to eat, there is no such thing as the door. Do you don’t need to add more dishes if you have more pairs of chopsticks?
You have to add at least two dishes? If you still have to be meat and vegetables, how much does it cost?
Listening to this, Chen Pipi's self-esteem was hit hard. Looking at the crumbs of taro lily in the bowl, the fat on her face twitched slightly, so she had to decide to tell the truth: "Ning Que said there is a veil in this shop.
I'm a smarter person, I always think it's impossible after thinking about it, so I want to confirm it."
Sangsang glanced around the shop and found no one hiding.
Chen Pipi covered her forehead and said helplessly: "He said that the smartest person in the world is you."
Sangsang was stunned and thought to himself that Ning Que could only say he was stupid all day long, so how could he praise himself for being smart?
Although she was very happy that the young master praised the smartest in the world, she was still confused by this statement. She frowned and thought for a long time. She suddenly thought of some past events and said shyly: "I'm not smart, but I have a good memory."
Chen Pipi looked at her and smiled contemptuously, saying, "Even if it is memory, I don't believe that there are people in the world that are stronger than me."
Sangsang lowered his head and looked at the small toe of the shoe that was poked out of the hem of the cotton skirt, and had no intention of arguing with him at all.
"I can't practice, but my knowledge is extremely poor. This genius was once recognized by the Haotian Taoist Sect, and even the back mountain of the academy was recognized. I don't know what he thought, but he dared to say that you are stronger than me.
”
Seeing her like this, Chen Pipi became more and more angry and said angrily: "Look at what Xiaoshoe does? Will I wear it for you?"
Although I knew that Ning Que was close to this young master Chen, Sang Sang, who was quiet and even a little dull, was a little angry. He no longer looked at the embroidered small shoes on his feet, raised his head.
Looking at Chen Pipi's eyes, he said very seriously: "My memory is also recognized by Weicheng.
This is a truthful saying. In the years she lived in Weicheng, she was always the most popular notary because she had the best memory and would not lie. It was just that Weicheng and Zhishouguan...
The levels are too far apart, but Sangsang's expression is still so serious, without any embarrassment, as if he wants to tell Chen Pipi that since Weicheng generally recognizes that I have a good memory, it is really good.
If this and the matter are recognized in the world, as long as two people appear, they will generally not recognize each other. This is probably the second reason for Wu Wu. Especially in the face of Sangsang's and his temperament, Chen Pipi wants to prove it.
I am smarter than her and have a better memory, but it is useless to rely on my mouth. I have to show some real skills.
"Let's go and bid." Chen Pipi said.
Sangsang did not compete with others for any IQ or memory interests. Thinking about the pine branches under the bacon in the backyard were snuggling with smoke, how could he agree to his request? He walked back to the backyard by himself and picked up the pine branches with a wooden stick to make the smoke more
Grow a little, then take out a new urn from the kitchen and squat it to the well and wash it carefully.
A few days ago, she was lazy in a pot of chicken soup. The old man was very happy to drink it, and there was a lot of soup on his beard. She thought that the young master also liked to drink her lazy chicken soup, and when he came back, he might not have enough portions of the old jar lazy chicken soup.
So she went to a small shop in Anpingfang to buy a new urn, thinking that when she is lazy, she will have two urns when she is lazy, which should probably be enough to drink.
Chen Pipi looked at the busy and thin back of the little maid and begged and tangled: "I don't care. Today you have to use something to defeat me, otherwise I won't be able to do it. Is there any book in the shop? We two are more memorizing books than memorizing books.
, If anyone loses, treats guests to dinner. If you find it boring... let's bet on the silver!"
Listening to the word "金", Sangsang's hand was suddenly stopped and he looked back at Chen Pipi.
Then she stood up and wiped her little hands, which were stimulated by the cold well water, randomly on her apron, turned around and walked into the bedroom for a moment, and walked out again..." Her face turned slightly red, she said shyly and regretfully.
: "I can't understand the young master's talisman books, and I can't read other books."
(Have I not spoke for a long time? Okay, waved: Hello everyone.)
