[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Chapter 81 To be selected

Chi Xiu casually conjured up a sword, and gave her the move of using a sword to defeat a sword.

"Huh? Good boy, you're a quick learner!" Senior brother Chi Xiu saw that she was smart and smart, so he happily picked out the most practical, safest and most surprising victory from his combat experience over the years and told her: "Even Fighting with swords doesn't necessarily mean you can only use swords."

Daiyu took the time to say, "I know! Before the hit, I was drooling, and suddenly sprayed the opponent's face. It's very bluffing~"

"Tch!" Chi Xiu said, "Aren't you afraid of choking yourself when you're out of breath?"

Daiyu blinked: "I haven't tried it. My master can talk with water in his mouth, and then spray water when he wants to."

Zi Shu, who was full of resentment, said, "She was beaten."

Daiyu rolled his eyes at him, and with this flash of skill, Chi Xiu knocked his head on the forehead: "Even if my subordinates are merciful, you must concentrate on the enemy, except for your opponent. You can't see other people's actions, and you can't hear other people's words."

Daiyu hurriedly became more serious: "I would like to be taught."

Chi Xiu nodded slightly in satisfaction, watching the stupid juniors next to him divide up the spoils after the game, Bi Lu took out the persimmons and reluctantly put them one by one into the basket, Zi Shu hugged his big red sleeved unicorn robe Crying, Wan Tong happily took out the vermilion fruit, which is not a good thing anyway~ I picked it on the side of the road again.

Chi Xiu sighed slightly: "What did you eat last night?"

"what?"

"Have you eaten any crabs?" Chi Xiu said while walking lightly around behind her to pick up Daiyu's collar.

Daiyu felt that the senior brother was getting faster and faster, or maybe she was tired, so she jumped forward in a hurry, dodged his hand, held the knife across her chest, and turned to counterattack: "I didn't eat it, I tasted the bigu pill I'm full."

Chi Xiu slapped it from top to bottom: "You use the knife too gracefully, that's all, you are a girl after all. You can use it together with the knife."

Hearing this, Daiyu's heart was moved, she raised her hand and went straight to his face with a knife, and at the same time raised her knife and poked it.

Chi Xiu stopped his hand for a moment, and said with a smile: "I said you were too gentle, but you didn't understand. Good boy, think again."

Daiyu's eyes flicked to him three times, remembering what Master said about "Ye Di stealing peaches" and "cutting off children and grandchildren's feet", she raised her hand and wanted to come again, but she was embarrassed and said softly: "I know! Senior brother Don't worry, I will use it when I really encounter an enemy."

Chi Xiu raised his head and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay! When you think about it, it's good to use it."

"You are small in stature, you are at a disadvantage, and you are not easy to guard against at the upper and lower ends. You are especially afraid of moves like 'Dark Cloud Covering' and 'Strike Huashan'. I have a magical power of Dharma Body Heaven and Earth. When you go back and practice hard, you can defend against the enemy. It is easier to attack when it grows to about ten feet."

"Okay! Thank you, brother!"

The group of people who lost next to them said sourly: "Oh, my name is so sweet, aren't you a serious senior brother~"

Yao Sanlang also said sourly: "Oh, my sister Lin is really cute, pity me alone, lonely, desolate, hard-working, desolate..."

Zi Shu said sourly: "Bah! People who forget their friends after seeing sex have the face to say such a thing?"

Yao Sanlang was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by seeing sex and forgetting friends? When I didn't meet Daiyu, I didn't cheat you much?"

"I'm sooooooooooooooo!"

"I'm speechless!"

"Amazing my brother!"

Daiyu laughed so hard that she couldn't lift the knife anymore, she raised her head and said with a smile: "I can't do it, brother, can we stop here today?"

Chi Xiu saw that her mana was no longer available, so he withdrew it: "Go back and meditate immediately to restore mana. If you practice in the next twelve hours, the benefits will be doubled. Soak in a medicinal bath for an hour. Yunqi will give it to you." Prepare."

Dai Yuxiang was sweating a little, panting slightly, she casually inserted the knife into the soil, and folded her blessings with her hands: "Thank you for your enlightenment."

Chi Xiu nodded: "Yunqi, go to work. The medicated bath formula prepared three years ago, one pack is placed in the first cabinet on the left hand side of the pharmacy, and there are probably a few packs left. You take two packs and add them again One tael of kudzu root, two taels of Eucommia ulmoides, five cents of bezoar, three cents of dipterocarp, three buckets of water and boil for half an hour."

Pueraria lobata invigorates the liver, Eucommia invigorates the bones, and bezoar invigorates the orifices. These are the best.

When Yao Sanlang thought about going to boil the goddess's bath water, his eyes lit up excitedly: "I'll go right away."

Only when Daiyu stopped did she feel her whole body was exhausted, almost unable to move, covered in sweat, she barely bent down to pick up the scabbard that had just been thrown on the ground, and pulled it out three more times before removing the knife.His hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, his hair stuck to his sweaty forehead, his eyes and cheeks were as rosy as the morning glow, there was no need to pretend this time, he was really weak.

Zi Shu asked sullenly: "Miss Lin, you are good at martial arts."

Daiyu's face was still so red, she struggled to lift the knife, and said softly, "Senior brother Zishu is overrated, my master always says that I'm still far behind, and I'm too young, so I don't dare to make a fool of myself in front of you." Oops, my knife is so heavy now!

Zi Shu hugged the orangutan velvet unicorn woven gold sleeve robe, and sighed sadly: "It's a pity, it's a pity that we bet on whether you know martial arts, not your martial arts realm."

I almost won!This dress is so beautiful, but it was exported by me!

Daiyu walked back calmly, pulled open the window, and put the knife on the window sill.Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

The always gloomy Wu Bo pretended to be gentle and amiable, and smiled for the first time: "Miss Lin, we were chatting outside just now, did it affect your reading?"

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat. Although she was tired, it was only physical exhaustion. She was still very excited and learned a lot of new things.Now when I hear this, I think of Brother Sanlang blinking secretly and telling me to pretend that I didn't hear their bet.Innocently said: "No."

Wu Bo immediately pulled his face down, turned his head and said, "I knew that Yun Qi would trick us."

Chi Xiu quickly took off his clothes and returned them to Zishu, then put on his own clothes, walked over and held Daiyu, "I'll take you back."

Daiyu obediently left this awkward little garden, and walked slowly away with the very tall senior brother Chi Xiu. The walk was very tiring, but fortunately the road was not far away, and it was enough to walk around from the back of the house to the front of the house.

Chi Xiu smiled softly: "You didn't let Yunqi waste all your efforts, I didn't expect Wutan to find out."

Daiyu nodded, blushing and embarrassed to answer.She knew all about it, what Yao Sanlang did today was the buckle he set up, and he got everything he wanted with a few words, and if someone else took the initiative to bet, he could only accept the bet and admit defeat.Although I participated in it, others didn't know about it, and I got some guidance from the senior brother, and the benefits I got were indescribable, it was really great.

After entering the house, Chi Xiu immediately ordered her to meditate and practice qi, open it to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, wash and expand the meridians.But I sat at the table, picked up the pen and wrote a copy of the cultivation method of "Dharma Body Heaven and Earth" without haste, and wrote some details, got up and left.

Not long after, Yao Sanlang came with a small wooden bowl and two small porcelain vases. He didn't take anything, and leaned over to the bedside to look at Sister Lin who was meditating with her eyes closed. He held his face and asked softly, "How is it? Can it be done?"

Daiyu's eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes and looked at him softly, she nodded and smiled with her lips pursed: "Will they beat you when they are angry?"

Yao Sanlang sat on the bed in a desperate manner, and stretched his face in front of her: "Don't worry, if you hit me, I will call Master for help. You don't have to bear the bad reputation of being a liar. Sister Lin, you have everything I didn’t hear it, what the brothers saw was what it was.”

Daiyu was a little moved, her eyes were slightly red: "Brother Sanlang... I know."

Yao Sanlang tilted his head to look at her eagerly: "Sister Lin, do you know my heart?"

"I know."

Daiyu looked at him curiously: "Brother Bilu clearly knows that I know kung fu, why did he take the lead in betting?"

Yao Sanlang chuckled: "Because he is my trustee!"

"Ah!" Daiyu burst out laughing, giggling coquettishly, no wonder she thought it was unreasonable, it turned out that it was so logical.

Yao Sanlang grinned, and asked sourly, "Sister Lin, who do you think is better, Senior Brother Bi Lu or me?"

Daiyu understood what he meant, pursed her lips and thought for a while, if she said you were better, it seemed to mean something else, as if she had promised you something.If Senior Brother Bi Lu is better, after all he is not as good to me as you, what should I say!

Smiling but not answering: "Brother Chi Xiu told me to stop talking and practice hard. Aren't you going to cook the medicinal soup? Is it ready?"

Yao Sanlang curled his lips, feeling sad that she had no choice but to be in the same position as senior brother Bi Lu, he stood up sullenly, picked up the wooden bowl that was placed on the table just now, threw it on the ground, raised his hand and pointed :"big big big!"

The wooden bowl became a wooden basin, or it was originally a wooden basin, but it was just made smaller.

He picked up a small porcelain bottle and poured water into the basin, and the water became extremely large as soon as it came out, and it was poured for a long time without emptying it, and it kept pouring out until the basin was half full.There is cold water in the other bottle, adjust the water temperature: "Well, it's done!"

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and I couldn't tell if it smelled good or bad, but as soon as Daiyu smelled it, she remembered that her mother's bedroom also had the same smell, and she began to miss home.Thinking of Yao Sanlang making talisman water for his mother, his mother's face was so pretty after drinking it.

Yao Sanlang put both bottles in his arms: "Sister Lin, I went out, and there was no medicine residue in the water. I filtered it three times with a cold cloth. You should continue to practice Qi while soaking in it, and the effect will be doubled~ "

Daiyu nodded with a blushing face, and pushed him away: "Understood, you can go now."

Yao Sanlang went back to enjoy the joy of "cooking fragrant soup for the goddess and adjusting the water temperature by himself", and took out two pastries to eat by the way.

Sitting in the basin, Daiyu's thoughts went back and forth.I was thinking about the health of Gao Tang's parents, worried that Master would be sold by Mr. Zhuo and still be foolishly there, and then I thought about my own virtue and ability, why San Lang brother likes me, why is he so kind to me?

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I should practice quickly, nothing is more important than strength!With mana, Jing Huan can be caught, boiled and eaten, oh, I can't eat it, I have to present it to the Daxian as a gift.With mana, if Mr. Zhuo treats my master badly, I can teach him a lesson... Seeing how my master usually bluffs, but seeing Mr. Zhuo's submissive look, I'm afraid it won't work. ╮(╯▽╰)╭~ Those who can do more work, I have such a strong ability, isn't it just to make my family live better.

Thinking about it this way, I started to practice Qi.Calm down and feel the aura around you carefully, ah, the water in this tub is full of aura!She began to absorb the spiritual energy steadily, closed her eyes and looked at her dantian, and saw that the dantian of the spiritual platform that had just been exhausted was accumulating drop by drop a liquid that she forgot the name of. To a certain extent, if compressed into a golden pill, it can be regarded as a loose fairy~

Brother Sanlang also said that in the dantian of martial arts practitioners there is only a stream of true energy, there is no true energy, and it will not condense into a liquid.

Baochai sat helplessly and helplessly: "Mother..."

Mrs. Xue kept wiping away her tears: "Good boy, don't talk about it, mother knows that the homeland is hard to leave, but you also know what mother is thinking!"

Xue Baochai's eyes were dry, she was worried about too many things, and she didn't know what to say.

Although Xue Pan still didn't sit still, after all, it was a habit for many years, but he looked at his sister seriously, a little sad: "Baochai, my good sister, just listen to what my brother says, we can't Staying in Jinling City, this old house is not safe. Look at that thief, Xiaoxiao, who can come and go freely. He can steal you and hurt me. How much money was collected from our family by the officials, and how much money is given to the gangsters every year , They can't even get you back!"

Xue Baochai was helpless: "Will it be safe to go to the capital?"

Brother, do you seem to be sprinkling?Pooh!Why do I speak in tongues?I learned it all from my teacher!

Xue Pan looked forward to it solemnly: "The capital city is at the foot of the emperor. Although our family is not glorious enough, mother is right. Aunt Jia is the wife of Rongguo Mansion. Rongguo Mansion started with military exploits. Ordinary Xiaoxiao would not dare to approach. Let you live in Rongguo Mansion first, and I will practice literature and martial arts for fame, and with status, those bastards will not dare to hurt you."

Xue Baochai said nothing, pursed her lips in disapproval.

Mrs. Xue stepped across the table and took her hand: "Baochai, your brother is right. Jinling City is too extravagant and indulgent. Your brother has learned it now. Don't tell me you want him to stay here so that he can meet friends when he goes out. How can you study so hard?"

Xue Baochai said in his heart, "Damn it!"It makes sense!It is indeed difficult for my brother to stay single-minded in Jinling City, but would it be all right to go to the capital?If he has the heart, he can find foxes and friends, flower streets and willow alleys there. If he has no heart, he will be Bodhi right away.

Then I thought about it again, for my brother to turn his prodigal son back, he took back his righteous deeds and did good deeds with a serious heart. Not to mention the money he spent these days like running water, he actually gave the money to the beggars he hated the most in order to ask for the mercy of God. , just for the sake of a sentence left by the master to do good and accumulate virtue.

Now that I'm back, he hasn't lost his old ways. Maybe my brother really... really wants to go to the capital?

Mrs. Xue saw her daughter silently, and said: "Today, the emperor advocates poetry and courtesy, seeks talents, and does not show the kindness of the world. Except for the selection of concubines, all the daughters of famous officials and officials are named Dabu for future selection. Serving as an attendant for the princess and princess at school is a duty of praise for talented people. Don’t look at the imperial decree saying that it is for the princess and monarch to attend school. Your aunt told me that there are rumors in the court that it is all for the eldest princess Xuanzhen. "

Baochai was slightly taken aback: "I've been away from home for a long time, and I don't know what's going on with Princess Xuanzhen. My brother will tell me in detail."

When I was in the capital, I didn't know what happened outside.

Xue Pan said: "I heard that God has given a beautiful young man named Yao Sanlang, a real person who is pure and unobstructed. He is extremely miraculous and miraculous, and he is always effective in everything he asks, and the emperor treats him like a god. Listen. People who passed Qingxu Tongmiao gave lectures were all praised. Today, you are determined to follow Yao Zhenren to serve Sanqing, but you can't worry about state affairs, so you choose a substitute from all over the world.

Coincidentally, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the censor of Gusu, has closed eyes, has spiritual roots, and good understanding. She was born Bingxue, who is smart, clear and noble. . "

Baochai nodded, and suddenly smiled: "If you become Princess Xuanzhen's school attendant, wouldn't you become a female Taoist priest? Mother, brother, do you really bear me?"

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to become a monk, how can we bear it? Princess Xuanzhen has not become a monk either. She is extremely favored and lives in the Yongfu Palace where the Empress Dowager lives. This honor, How many people can't compare."

Xue Pan said awkwardly again: "Baochai, let's go to the capital, if you can become Princess Xuanzhen's entrance attendant, or if I can get a job, it will be easier for us to find the person who took you away. Do you really not remember what that person looked like?"

Baochai sighed sullenly: "I told you so. The person who took me away was a woman. After taking me away, I was locked in the house and had three meals a day, but she was not allowed to leave the house. Later, another woman claimed to be Wen Fourth Sister, go fight with her, say that she faked Fourth Sister Wen's name, she deserves to die. I don't know who won, but the woman who went later took me to the big escort and taught me how to speak on the way, Then I went home."

"I should thank her." Xue Pan blushed, leaned closer and asked softly, "These women with martial arts skills are really scary,,, have you seen a beautiful sister who is wearing a red dress and is extremely gorgeous?"

Mrs. Xue coughed: "Pan'er!"

Baochai shook her head, and asked maliciously, "What's the matter? That beautiful sister was also taken away?"

Amitabha, thank goodness I didn't say that I was captured by the beautiful sister you molested. If I go to the capital, I will inevitably meet my master!I'd rather beat you up after she's molested by you than when you see her as if you're seeing an enemy. If you want to report to the police, you have to take revenge with a knife. My stupid brother, you will die.

Xue Pan shook his head embarrassedly: "It's nothing."

Mrs. Xue said: "Baochai, good boy, you listen to your mother, she will not harm you. It is a matter of status to be selected as the princess' companion, and you don't have to go to the palace to serve people all the year round, and you can make everyone in the capital all the time." I know that you are both talented and beautiful, have both ability and integrity, and are recognized by the royal family as a good girl! If the eldest princess is not easy to get along with, just assume that you are not acclimatized and sick, and you will naturally be dismissed from your post."

Baochai said helplessly: "Since my mother insists on me going, then I will try. If I can be selected, it is of course good for Guangyao Menlin. If not, I can only rely on my brother."

Xue Pan nodded again and again, slapping his chest loudly: "Brother was born so mighty and majestic, so you can rely on him."

Baochai said in her heart: Bah!

I will definitely practice martial arts well when I go back, even if the master does not supervise, I will never slack off!

But the matter was settled like this, Mrs. Xue quickly asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked her daughter to write a letter to her sister, Jia Wang, saying that her daughter was going to the capital to wait for election, and she was going to live with her.Baochai wrote helplessly as instructed, and silently thought, if my brother molested the master again, and the master beat him again, I will plead for my brother, hey.

From then on, Mrs. Xue was busy packing her bags. Xue Pan ordered all the family members to protect the courtyard, and quietly entrusted the family shop to some old men, planning to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

…………

"We haven't been out shopping for a long time." Zhuo Donglai took Fourth Sister Wen and his entourage along the busiest street in the capital, full of antiques, jewelry, jade and other luxury stores.There are not many people around, and not everyone dares to walk on this street.

Fourth Sister Wen was walking beside him silently, suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice: "Hahaha, brother, do you still remember that when I was poor, I wanted to buy a lot of jewelry and a lot of jerky, but now I As long as you eat enough and sleep well, you don't want jewelry anymore.

"

Zhuo Donglai said softly and earnestly: "It's good to come back! One sack of food, one ladle of drink, in the back alley, people can't bear their worries, and they won't change their joy when they go back."

Fourth Sister Wen didn't understand, blinked her eyes and didn't answer vaguely: "Yes. What do you want to buy?"

Zhuo Dong glanced at her, and sighed helplessly: "Just for a stroll. Zelan, you are different from when you were young."

Fourth Sister Wen frowned slightly: "Why is it different?" Listening to this, it seems that you want to imitate a famous person with the surname w or l?I haven't had a baby yet, so you're going to cheat?

Zhuo Donglai stopped outside a shop, looked at her and smiled softly: "If it was ten years ago, you would have rushed in to see that Tuanlong gold bracelet that you have seen thousands of times."

Fourth Sister Wen was stunned for a while before she remembered: "Ah! It's in this store! Treasure Pavilion!"

The shopkeeper heard from the boy that Master Zhuo was standing at the door with a fat lady, so he rushed out to greet him: "Mr. Zhuo is here, the shop is full of splendor, please come in and drink tea."

Zhuo Donglai pulled Fourth Sister Wen and stepped in: "Shopkeeper Li, you look good."

Shopkeeper Li bowed deeply: "TOEFL, TOEFL."

Fourth Sister Wen wandered around to look at things on the shelf next to her, and saw the gold bracelet she liked ten years ago. Come on, good middle school!

The three-treasure jade Ruyi next to it is very beautiful, the white jade Ruyi is engraved with cloud patterns, a large round and bright red coral is inlaid on the head of the Ganoderma lucidum, and there are two little pure green turquoises on both sides.Fourth Sister Wen turned her head and smiled, "Brother, I want to buy this."

Shopkeeper Li saw that Mr. Zhuo's face was fine and seemed very happy, and nodded.He immediately said: "If you like it, just take it away. This store is owned by Mr. Zhuo."

"(**) Wow~" Fourth Sister Wen looked surprised, and said in her heart: Wow, he is simply a model of self-made!

Zhuo Donglai smiled faintly: "Ze Lan, are you happy?"

Fourth Sister Wen jumped up excitedly: "God! I'm so happy. I saved money for a long time, and I wanted to buy this bracelet. As soon as I saved up enough, I had other money to use." She walked over, Picking up the thick and clumsy golden dragon bracelet, putting it on his wrist to appreciate it, he smirked and said, "Although it's ugly, I just like this bracelet, hahahaha. Shopkeeper, this bracelet hasn't been sold for ten years?"

Shopkeeper Li looked at Mr. Zhuo openly, Zhuo Donglai nodded slightly, and he said: "It was sold five years ago. Mr. Zhuo bought the store three years ago, and sent someone to collect it back at a high price. It has been placed in the store. Here, no sale is allowed."

Fourth Sister Wen is a little moved, why is Mao so romantic~

Zhuo Donglai introduced: "This is my wife. Ze Lan, this is Shopkeeper Li, the old shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion."

When the two sides greeted each other, the little man who had just called her 'big fat bitch' was so frightened that he hid in the house and did not dare to come out. The big man wrapped Yu Ruyi up for her and put it aside respectfully.

Zhuo Donglai said: "Take off the bracelet. It's too ugly, you can take it back and play with it, don't wear it." Why on earth do you like it!

Fourth Sister Wen pouted and took off the bracelet, and handed it to the waiter to wrap it up: "Why do you still buy it for me if you think it's ugly?"

Zhuo Donglai smiled and said, "If you like something, there will definitely be it."

Fourth Sister Wen nodded happily, and said to herself: I don't know if you are good at teasing girls, but I know you are good at teasing me!

The two of them got up and went to a few more shops, some of which belonged to Zhuo Donglai, and some of them were not. He wrote a note to the shop to send a clerk to the cashier to collect the money.

Fourth Sister Wen was very curious: "Brother, are you familiar with these shops?"

"I run an escort agency." Zhuo Donglai said with a smile: "They have a lot of valuables to transport, of course we are familiar with them. Let's go and see where." It seems that there are still a few things to buy, um... um.

"Xuanxiangtang?" Miss Wen raised her eyebrows slightly. It sounds like this is an organization similar to Qingmutang, with a very dark name. Could it be... a private contact point of the underworld?By the way, brother, what exactly do you do?

Several people entered the Xuanxiang Hall, Fourth Sister Wen couldn't help but nodded secretly, it's so dark!Both eyes are smeared black!

The whole room is black!The walls are all black!This store is actually a store that specializes in rubbings and rubbings.

She looked at it ignorantly, but didn't understand anything, so she didn't try hard to read, took a sip of the fragrant tea that was brought up, and sat on the chair in a daze.

Zhuo Donglai picked out a copy of "Lingfei Sutra", a set of "Tuobao Pagoda Monument Song Rubbings", a set of "Liu Gongquan Diamond Sutra Yuan Rubbings", and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any good things?"

The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles: "I just got a set of "Tang Rubbings of Wei Moxian Temple Monument" a few days ago."

"That's terrible."

"I don't want to sell it yet, and I haven't told others. If Mr. Zhuo is interested, you can take a look."

Zhuo Donglai followed him into the inner room.

Fourth Sister Wen asked the boy boredly: "Is there anyone who buys dim sum on this street?"

The young man saw that she was dressed like a married woman, and the clothes were very expensive, and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't know, there are too many antique calligraphy and paintings bought on this street, and they have been flooded, although they are not damaged. What, but it scares people enough to look at it. It was agreed that no fires were allowed in each house, and even the water for boiling tea had to be placed in the open space. have."

Zhuo Donglai came out again: "Hungry?"

Fourth Sister Wen nodded: "I'm hungry."

So go eat.Sure enough, the restaurant is two streets away. I entered the private room and sat down. I ordered a lot of food and wine. The shop first served four cold dishes, four snacks, four dried fruits and a pot of hot wine. Fourth Sister Wen put away the wine and ate the snacks: "Brother, I don't quite understand. What's the difference between the post rubbings of the same stele from the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty?"

Zhuo Donglai said: "The edge of the font is a little bit weathered and damaged. The earlier the rubbing is, the clearer it is and in line with the original appearance. And it is very difficult to preserve. If the appearance is good, the value will be high."

"Oh." Fourth Sister Wen basically understood: "Why are you buying these?"

Zhuo Donglai showed a kind smile: ""Liu Gongquan Diamond Sutra Yuan Rubbing Edition", you take it to Zhen's family as an apology for retiring. And "Lingfei Jing" is your copybook, Ze Lan, for prenatal education, you have to take care of it. practice calligraphy."

Fourth Sister Wen only felt her eyes darken: "For the sake of prenatal education, isn't it enough for me to pick good-looking people to see more? I also need to practice calligraphy?"

"There's no rush." ​​Zhuo Donglai said: "You and I will go to see Erlang tonight, there is something you must do. Tomorrow, we will leave for Zhen's family to retire, and finish the matter before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Fourth Sister Wen curled her lips: "Okay!"

Alas, I really don't want to go to Zhen's house, but if you stretch your head, you'll shrink your head, so come on!

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi finished eating, wiped his mouth comfortably, and lay on the chair without wanting to move.Back to the mansion in a carriage, there were 66 grasshoppers in a thin bamboo cage. It is said that grasshoppers after autumn are not tasty. Fourth Sister Wen frowned when she saw it: "What is this for?"

"Erlang wants to taste fried locusts. You fry them for him tonight."

Fourth Sister Wen rolled her eyes: "Put the live grasshoppers in a pot, cover them and let them ventilate for 2 days. The grasshoppers can eat all their excrement."

Zhuo Donglai frowned: "I remember when we ate, there was no ventilation."

Ugh, I knew you were a good cook, but you're not particular about it!As long as it doesn't affect the taste, you don't care!

Fourth Sister Wen shrugged: "How hungry were we? If we don't eat locusts, I'll eat you alive. How can I care so much. Now, um, get some croton water."

Zhuo Donglai frowned: "Go ahead, I still have something to do."

Fourth Sister Wen began to abuse the bugs, sprinkled croton water to clean their intestines, and when they were almost exhausted, they poured a basin of water to wash them off.The strong grasshoppers are still alive, gnawing on the bamboo cage.

In the afternoon, before they could enter the palace, the emperor came out by himself, and sighed as soon as he entered the room: "Come from the east, I still can't make it. I am too useless as an emperor!"

Fourth Sister Wen raised her eyebrows: "Then do you eat fried grasshoppers?"

"Eat!" The emperor said viciously: "Not only do I eat, but I also want to eat with the civil and military officials! I want to disgust them to death!"

Fourth Sister Wen rolled her eyes and went out to order the cook: Put the grasshoppers in the boiling water pot to scald them to death, remove them, remove their heads, limbs, wings, and internal organs, put them into the pot with salt water, simmer for a while, remove them and drain them.Heat the oil pan to [-]% heat, put in the grasshoppers, fry until golden brown and remove.

It's not that she feels that she is expensive and refuses to cook, but she is a little afraid to approach the kitchen for fear of affecting prenatal education.

When I came back, I heard the emperor complaining: "Longlai, you can't sneer, you don't need to laugh at me, I feel useless! But what can I do! How many years have I shouted such nonsense about governing the country with filial piety? Method, as soon as it comes to overthrowing certain decisions of the Supreme Emperor, the ministers will start to bark like mad dogs! Govern the country with filial piety, hey, bah!

The old master Confucius caught the deserter and asked if he was a person who went back to take care of his parents, so he let him go. That is called ruling the country with filial piety!If the country is governed in that way, not only will there be too many deserters, but even those soldiers who are loyal to serve the country will be chilled. They will be accused of being unfilial while fighting bloody battles on the front line.Pooh! "

Zhuo Donglai gently poured him a glass of wine: "Erlang, calm down and don't be angry. There is always a way for everything."

The emperor slumped in his chair, took out a list from his pocket and slapped it on the table: "This group of people are the ones who like to take the lead in opposition. Come here, if you have any plans, you can catch them in whatever way you want. You can kill them all! Oops, I’m so pissed off! You didn’t see the face of those people in the court! They stopped me from rehabilitating the unjustly murdered loyal ministers, one or two, as if I did something wrong It's over!"

Zhuo Donglai said softly: "You violated their interests and made them lose face, isn't it a fault?"

This is not to persuade people not to be angry at all, it is clearly adding fuel to the fire.

The emperor almost shattered the table, and his own hands hurt from the slap: "This is my world (snap), and these are my subjects, how can they benefit (snap!), their face! (snap! ) For the sake of their face, I disregarded my face! (Snap) Youdao means that the emperor is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and if the emperor humiliates the ministers to death, they should all die! (Snap)" Then he shook his hands, his hands hurt and hurt!

Zhuo Donglai chuckled lightly: "You just said that you don't believe in old master Confucius, so why are you using Confucianism to demand ministers? What they are doing is just trying to gain fame and get promoted. It's better to spread the rumors in the court and let the people know whether it is true or not. Erlang, you don’t discern loyalty from traitors, it’s because treacherous ministers in the court are deceiving you.”

"Yes, I don't distinguish between loyal and traitorous! I don't know what to do! This reputation is also mine!" The emperor felt relieved when he thought of this, and smiled all over his face: "Dong Lai, did you know that I have a child! The queen is pregnant! Thanks to you for letting me ask Yao Zhenren, he said that he thought I was good to him after entering the palace, so he helped me solve the biggest trouble! Yao Sanlang is really a good person, if he can help me with this matter..."

His eyes were originally full of smiles and were very bright, but they became even brighter when he thought of this: "He can help me solve this matter! Donglai, even though it's not June, he can still do it"

"June Feixue?" Zhuo Donglai looked at him with bright eyes and smiled, "That's great! Erlang, you're so kind!"

"Wait a minute!" Fourth Sister Wen had no choice but to interrupt: "If it's going to snow, save some grapes and big crabs, and wait for Daiyu to come back to eat."

The two of them glared at her together, it really disturbed the atmosphere, just eat it!

Then they looked at each other and nodded, must save grapes and big crabs, crabs must be eaten on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival!

Oops~ If you can enjoy the snow, drink wine and eat crabs this Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be more interesting than previous years!

June Feixue, there must be grievances, I want to see what other reasons those old bastards can find.

The three of them had a meal of fried grasshoppers that night, and the emperor became interested in fried locusts again.

Make an expression of the best, and guess in my heart, fried locusts should also be delicious~

Fourth Sister Wen went to Zhen's house with the copybook and the script, and begged for a long time at the door before being let in.

Zhen Shiyin's face was so ugly that he looked at her sullenly, and neither asked her to sit down nor serve tea.Fourth Sister Wen said exactly what she said in the script, why is she deeply in love, she was separated from her fiancée when she was hit by a disaster, and now she is back, she is not young, she has been delaying.

Zhen Shiyin reluctantly accepted this explanation, anyway, retiring the engagement is bad, but the other party's fiancée survived, so retiring the engagement sounds better, neither because of his daughter's problems, nor because of his son-in-law's bad character.

The big banquet gathered the three old and four young people around, neighbors, and local officials. After drinking for three rounds, she said the script again, and worshiped Zhen Shiyin again, so that everyone in the city knew about Zhen Shiyin. The incident at the old son-in-law’s house, and the well-known old man talked about the catastrophe in which every family left their homes to escape, and they felt that it was not easy to meet each other again!

Zhen Yinglian still refused to see her again, and asked her father to return the broken sword before leaving.

Fourth Sister Wen nodded: "I understand." She mounted her horse and returned to Beijing.

Outside the capital, she was so frightened that she strangled her silk belt and looked at the snowy capital: "Wrapped in silver, it's extraordinarily enchanting!"

I don't have enough clothes. If I go all the way in with the cold, I can do it, baby?

"Master~~~" A soft call came from the carriage parked beside the official road, revealing a pink face wrapped in a cloak, smiling like a flower: "I finally came back, but you went out! I thought We can't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together."

Fourth Sister Wen took a closer look and found that such a cute little girl was indeed my apprentice, my little baby Daiyu. She got off the horse and ran over to lie on the carriage to look at her beloved little apprentice: "Daiyu, why are you here in the world of ice and snow?" waiting for me here?"

While talking, he climbed into the carriage.Yao Sanlang was still sitting in the carriage, she immediately smiled: "Yo, I am so blessed, it's such a grand occasion, it's just a trip to a faraway place, and there are Daoist Qingxu Tongmiao and Princess Xuanzhen waiting outside the city, I feel like I am quite a person.”

Daiyu smiled and leaned against her arms.she wears
