It's this time of year again, Lin Yue and Dajuan sit by the boulder by the river and wait, the bored Lin Yue teases Xiaoying, and flips Xiaoying on the ground with his fingers and watches her flapping her wings fluttering is Lin Yue's greatest pleasure now, Lao Wu on the boulder stood on a long pole and waited for the fish in the water to take the bait, about an hour, Lao Wu raised the pole and a golden carp jumped out of the water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Wu fished the fish into the fish basket and said, "You can send the fish to Zhong Lao Er." The two sisters and brothers picked up the fish basket and left.

Zhong Lao Er in Lao Wu's mouth is an old man who lives on the coast of the East China Sea, every year at this time, Lao Wu will catch a golden carp and give it to him, and then he will disappear for a few days, sometimes even a month, Dajuan and Lin Yue have become accustomed to it.

The town where the master and apprentice are located belongs to Binzhou City, located in the west of Binzhou, and Zhong Lao Er lives in the east of Binzhou, so the fastest way is to cross through Binzhou City.

The two of them hurried for a while, and when they came to Binzhou, it was almost noon, and Lin Yue said, "Senior sister, let's find Brother Chen for dinner first." ”

"Let's go. "Senior sister spoke simply and clearly.

Chen Shuming was a friend of the two in Binzhou, and after turning around, the two came to a low alley, where most of the people lived were hard-working ordinary people.

In a small square courtyard of a single household, a young man was lying on a chaise longue and shaking a fan, and not far away a beautiful and beautiful girl was sitting on a small stool, scrubbing her clothes in the wooden shed.

Lin Yue shouted, "Brother Chen, we're here." ”

The young man Chen Shuming smiled and said, "It's Dajuan and Erwa, who have come to deliver fish to Second Master Zhong again." ”

Lin Yue smiled: "Yes, no, my sister and I are here to eat again, my sister-in-law and sister brought you mountain vegetables, and they are all dried." The young woman wiped her hands and took the mountain vegetables in Dajuan's hand with a smile.

Chen Shuming looked at the sun: "It's really almost time to eat, let's go, Haifeng Building! Lady, bring me the clothes for eating." The young woman took out a clean embroidered dress from the house, and Chen Shuming took off his old clothes, changed the embroidered clothes, and set off with the two.

Haifeng Lou is the best restaurant in Binzhou, its seafood is famous in the county, the three of them just arrived in front of the building, a white fat man wearing a brocade robe greeted with a smile: "Sir, you can come." Whatever you want to eat today, it's all mine. ”

Chen Shuming said: "Boss Cai, I'll bring two more people, don't you mind." ”

Boss Cai hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, please." ”

Chen Shuming nodded: "Let's go, go upstairs." ”

Today is a blessing, Lin Yue's thoughts have already drifted to seafood, this Brother Chen's daily livelihood is to come out and let people invite him to eat.

This is related to the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a clear hierarchy, the gap between the classes can not be crossed, according to the law, where the restaurant is above the second floor, the lower third class is strictly forbidden to enter privately, let your family wealth, as long as you are still a civilian, you can not go up to the second floor to eat, violators will be punished with the crime of disrespect.

Chen Shuming's life experience is not ordinary, the ancestor is Fuyang Zheng Gong (duke) side branch, his ancestor for the country's great merits, by the title of Donghai Earl (earl) of the entire Binzhou City, the family has not been prosperous, to the grandfather's generation, because of the crime was taken away from the fiefdom, the family background was defeated, his father from a young brocade clothes and jade food, and no ability, the only remaining meager family property is also ruined, and then drunkenness fell off the stone bridge and died, leaving his mother and son to rely on each other, do not want to die a few years later.

There were also many down-and-out nobles in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many of them became scoundrels, stealing chickens and dogs all day long, and oppressing the good. As soon as the deceived person was dissatisfied, he fell to the ground and lay down and lied that he was beaten, and the civilians beat the nobles, and if they were justified or not, they were beaten first.

Chen Shuming disdains this villain, and would rather set up a stall than be a ruffian, and it is not ashamed to support himself with his hands.

It was a winter, Chen Shuming set up a stall next to this Haifeng Building, business has not been good recently, there is nothing left at home, and if you don't make money, you can only go to dig wild vegetables outside the city, at this time the running hall of Haifeng Building and a middle-aged man with a ruddy face walked out.

Ran Tang said: "Master Lu, don't embarrass us, this is really not good." ”

Master Lu said: "The other party is really a noble of Hangzhou, I only invited it once, and I can't book a table in the lobby." ”

ran the hall and said: "We naturally believe what Master Lu said, but isn't that noble yet here." You know, this second floor ......"

Master Lu said: "Little brother, I beg you, the title of this guest family is not low, I really wait for someone to come and go upstairs, and there is no need to talk about this business." ”

The running hall was also very difficult: "Master Lu, don't you usually have to accompany the guests, how can you ...... today?"

Master Lu said helplessly: "Brother Kecheng has an ulcer today, and he can't come." ”

ran the hall and waved his hand: "Then I'm really out of line." ”

Chen Shuming, who was on the side, understood that it was this Master Lu who made an appointment with a foreign noble, but his identity was not enough, so he could not go up to the second floor to book a table. It turned out that the escort with identity was sick again and couldn't come.

Chen Shuming, who was grumbling with hunger, suddenly had an idea, and he stepped forward and said, "If this boss can invite me to a meal, I will let you go up to the second floor." ”

Running to the hall, he saw that it was a shabby vendor outside the door, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, when Master Lu, who was in a hurry to go to the hospital, hurriedly asked: "Little brother, can you help me go up to the second floor?

Chen Shuming arched his hand: "Under Chen Shuming, after Zheng Gong of Fuyang, the great-great-grandson of Donghai Bo, this is registered in the Binzhou official office, you can check it." ”

The two were greatly shocked, but they didn't expect that the down-and-out vendor who set up a stall outside the restaurant was actually the highest lord in Binzhou. Since he dares to say that the official office is registered and registered, he is naturally not afraid to check, and he immediately reports to the shopkeeper, not to mention, the shopkeeper really knows, after all, Binzhou was once the fiefdom of Donghai Bo, and Binzhou people dare not say that everyone knows about the Donghai Bo lineage, and it is also famous. Immediately, Chen Shuming and Master Lu were greeted upstairs, and Master Lu was also very happy and let Chen Shuming order.

Later, the guests of the banquet came, and when he saw that Chen Shuming was dressed poorly and his face was displeased, he immediately got up to toast when he introduced him and knew that he was Donghai Bo, although his family had a big business and he received the title of marquis, but in fact the title was still his old father's, and when he succeeded the head of the family before he could attack the knight, and now he is still white. Chen Shuming is very different, there is only one person left in the Donghai Bo lineage, so he automatically attacked the lord and became a lord.

After the banquet, Master Lu moved his mind, and now he wanted to recruit Chen Shuming as his son-in-law, thinking that if he had a grandson in the future, he would be able to inherit the title of Earl of the East China Sea, and then he would have his own help, he might not be able to make a difference, don't look at his wealth, he is still a commoner in the end.

Chen Shuming also understood Master Lu's thoughts, and he was very resistant in his heart, but his stomach was empty, so he had to bend his waist to five buckets of rice, but who would have thought that Master Lu's wife disagreed, what is Donghai Bo, he is just a stall vendor, he can't even support himself, and he wants my daughter to suffer with him, but there is no door.

Unable to resist the wife's crying, Master Lu married his concubine to Chen Shuming, this concubine is thirteen years old, born to his maid, although she looks beautiful and lovely, but unfortunately she was born unable to speak, coupled with the early death of her mother, although she is a young lady in the Lu family, she lives the life of a maid, which is not as good as the average person, after all, she is not happy with his wife.

Chen Shuming was very angry when he learned that he had married a mute person, but Miss Lu used a pen to write and talk to him, and the two sides knew their own life experiences but cherished each other, Miss Lu was a good hand at housework, don't look at the poverty of the Chen family, but she experienced the freedom that she had never had in her thirteen years of life, and the harmony between the two was also happy.

After lunch, Chen Shuming went home with the packed meals, and the two sisters and brothers continued to the coast of the East China Sea.

The waves on the edge of the sea are surging to the beach, a fisherman's house is not far from the shore, a middle-aged strong woman and a young girl are drying dried fish, Lin Yue stepped forward and said, "Aunt Yu, Sister Mingzhu." ”

Aunt Yu looked up and saw: "It's Dajuan and Erwa, what's the matter, come and see Second Master Zhong, your unscrupulous master doesn't come by himself, and always asks you to run so far with the two children, it's true." ”

Lin Yue deeply agreed with this: "Aunt Yu, where is Grandpa Zhong?"

"Sitting on the reef over there. ”

"Oh, thank you, Aunt Yu. ”

Dajuan didn't say a word, except for Lin Yue and Master Lao Wu, she has always said less if she can.

A white-haired old man on the reef is sitting upright, the waves are surging around, and the seabirds are singing in the sky, which is very noisy, but he feels infinitely quiet when he closes his eyes and listens.

The old man sat cross-legged, his white hair fluttering in the sea breeze, looking like a master, in fact, Lin Yue knew that this bad old man was just asleep.

"Grandpa Zhong, Grandpa Zhong......" Seeing that the old man didn't react, Lin Yue took a deep breath: "Grandpa Zhong!!!"

The old man who was awakened shouted: "Oh, my mother, scare me, uh, it's Dajuan and Erwa." ”

Lin Yue said: "Grandpa Zhong, your fish." ”

Second Master Zhong smiled: "Oh, thank you, hey, Dajuan has also become a big girl, come on, Grandpa Zhong will check your body." "How obscene that smile is, how obscene.

Dajuan said lightly: "Ten runs." ”

Lin Yue was sweating profusely on the side, one was disrespectful to the old, the other loved money like life, Zhong Erye listened to ten times, he could only sneer and could not answer, Dajuan stared at Zhong Erye with contempt, not that he was old and teased the little girl, but that he dared to talk without even ten times.

The two sisters and brothers stayed at Zhong Erye's house for one night, during which Zhong Erye wanted to roast the little bird Xiaoying next to Lin Yue and drank wine, so frightened that Xiaoying hurriedly flew out of the house, Dajuan cooked the fish, Zhong Erye said: "This time I still have something to entrust to you two, this letter is handed over to your master, please read it himself." Dajuan took the letter and put it in her arms.

On the second day, the senior sister and brother returned and passed by Aunt Yu's house, and it happened that her third daughter came back, so they exchanged a few words. Aunt Yu's man was requisitioned to work for Wang Ling, and he didn't want to go back, leaving only her and her four daughters, the eldest daughter Jinzhu and the second daughter Yinzhu were married, and the third daughter Pearl and the younger daughter Pearl were still with her.

Bidding farewell to the mother and daughter, the two rushed home, Lao Wu has not come back, waited for half a month, Lao Wu came back and Dajuan handed the letter to him, Lao Wu looked at the letter and looked at the two: "Hmph, Zhong Lao Er is very calculating, it's just ...... Second baby, you pack your things and go to your grandfather Zhong's house. ”

"Huh?" Lin Yue didn't know why, didn't he come back when he went to Grandpa Zhong's house, and he needed to pack his things.

Lao Wu said: "In the past two years, you don't have to come back. ”

"Huh?"

"Ahh ”

Lin Yue had no choice but to pack a few clothes, today's dinner was the last meal for the three of them to get together, and after eating, Lao Wu said: "The two of you are not young, and you have understood a lot of things, so I think it is time to change your name." ”

Lin Yue was almost about to call out, after being called for so many years, the second baby was finally going to change his name, and Lao Wu said: "The name is given by the parents, it should be cherished, the second baby is an orphan, born and raised, Dajuan also has a lot of past, don't mention it, although I am your teacher, but I will not deprive you of the freedom to choose a name, this own name is up to you." ”

Lin Yue immediately said: "I have already gotten up, my name is Lin Yue, the forest of the mountains and forests, the more you fly." ”

Lao Wu was noncommittal: "Well, it's very ordinary, it's still Erwa's ears, but since you have decided, let's call Lin Yue, what about you, Dajuan?"

Dajuan said: "It doesn't matter, anything will do." ”

Lao Wu shook his head, and Lin Yue joked: "Senior sister is always silent, just call it silent, quack, Xiaoying, do you say yes." The shadow flapped her wings and chirped in agreement.

Lao Wu pondered for a moment: "Silent...... Your senior sister just doesn't talk much, but it's not that she doesn't speak. ”

Lin Yue said: "Then let's call it silent whispering, whispering." ”

"That's good, it's kind of interesting, Dajuan, you see. ”

"Yes. ”

"Then it's decided, Mo whispering, Lin Yue, hahaha, not bad. ”

Lin Yue was dumbfounded, he just said it casually, you are decided, senior sister can really see it.
