Chapter 5 A Guest Comes from Far Away
When it comes to Guiyue (the eighth month of the lunar calendar), the red leaves on the mountain are like red veils covering the palm-sized place of Guqiao Town, accompanied by a hint of coolness, but it also ignites a flame called Nalan Festival in people's hearts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the sand-paved official road, a snow-white horse slowly walked, and a handsome young man who looked like a weak scholar on horseback looked up at the beautiful scenery around him, and he couldn't see the slightest appearance of enjoyment under the wind and dust.
"There are red leaves in the west, and the thousand-year-old pond is absolutely gone. ”
"I think the place mentioned by Li Tianshi is this ancient bridge town, but I don't know if the ink god capture back then is still here. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yaoyao saw the old mayor and a group of old people from Guqiao Town coming in clusters, and when they saw the figure of the young man, they hurriedly saluted.
"The old man's surname is Lu, he is the mayor of the barren land of Guqiao Town, not long ago, I heard that Prime Minister Yan Cheng has a disciple who needs to enter the Chang'an Palace of the Divine Capital to test, and he needs to pass by here for a few days, so I have been waiting here for a long time. ”
After that, the young man turned over and dismounted, Xu was running around for too long, and his figure shook a little.
"The junior didn't identify himself, how did Your Excellency know that it was me?"
The old mayor looked at each other and smiled: "Guqiao Town is located in a remote area, and there are not many outsiders in a year on weekdays, even if it is the Nalan Festival in a few days, it is also a gathering of old people around, and strangers find that we are naturally clear." ”
"In addition, the people of the countryside are vulgar, I don't know what to call this adult?"
The young man looked at the old mayor and a few people politely, stretched out his hand to hand the luggage to the little guy next to him, and then accompanied the old mayor and a few people into Guqiao Town and said with a smile: "Adults don't dare to call me, just call me Huaiying." ”
"In other words, although the location of this ancient bridge town is a little remote, but the surrounding scenery and folk customs are good, if you have to go to Chang'an Palace to try, I have a heart to stay in this place. ”
When she first arrived, she was inevitably a little polite, and Huaiying's eyes swept back and forth in the town, and she didn't find any suspicious points, so she talked with the old people in Guqiao Town on the side.
"This is all the credit of our old mayor, since the construction of Guqiao Town, the ancestors of the Lu family have been dedicated to the townspeople for three generations, especially the old mayor has contributed his whole life to Guqiao Town, this is my blessing!"
Several old men flattered each other, Huaiying naturally didn't bother to listen, and after a while, he saw a few people silently before continuing to ask.
"I heard that nine years ago, there was a figure who served as the head catcher of Guqiao Town, I wonder if he is still here?"
At the mention of Mo Lin Mountain, the corners of the old mayor's eyes inadvertently wrinkled. "You're talking about my head catcher Mo Laojiu in Guqiao Town, if you say that he rarely stayed in Guqiao Town in the past, as for the recent ......"
Obviously, the old mayor didn't know that Mo Linshan concealed his true identity when he took office, and before he could say this, he saw an old lady with red makeup hurriedly in the alley on the side, and pulled up the old mayor's sleeve and wanted to leave.
"Lao Lu hurry up with me to welcome Young Master Pang from the city, the peerless girl in our Guqiao Town has fallen!"
As soon as these words came out, the old people present were stunned, and their eyes were full of disbelief. "Which family's Young Master Pang has the courage to marry her?"
"It's the big silk seller in the city, Young Master Pang fell in love with the painting scroll of the peerless girl a few days ago, and tried his best to get her background. ”
"Of course, I just said that she is the daughter of the head catcher in the town, she has been able to embroider some fists and legs since she was a child, her family style is upright and her temperament is well-behaved, you don't want to tell me if someone comes in a while!"
"Aren't you a cheater, but if we can send that girl away, we'll let it go!" Several old people present rolled up their sleeves and were about to follow Mrs. Wang, but they heard the old mayor on the side cough deeply.
"What are you going to do? Don't you see any guests here?"
The figures of several people stopped in place in an instant, and they looked back at Huaiying's figure full of embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'm just a little curious about who you call Wushuang?"
"I'll tell you this!" Before the old mayor could answer the question, the middle-aged man on the side stepped forward. "She's the daughter of the head of the ancient bridge town, and a nightmare for all the men in the town!"
"That's right, she relied on her father's status to do nonsense in the town, and ruined how many crazy men and women were true love stories!"
"If you say that she is a bandit, you will praise her! The bandit will let you go if she has gained benefits, and she doesn't want benefits to cut off your incense!"
"Woo woo, I want Xiao Cui ......"
Everyone talked about Mo Wushuang's image as if it were a demon, and Huaiying couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard it.
"If you are in a hurry, you can take the first step, and if the old mayor doesn't mind, you can send Huaiying to the inn to rest first, and then return to see the outcome of the matter. ”
Several people present glanced at each other, looked back at the old mayor on the side, and the look of expectation in his eyes made the sixty-year-old man shake his head helplessly, and then waved his hand and shouted: "Go, you must serve that unlucky ghost well, I hope I can send this little ancestor out!"
------------------------
"Young master, I don't know why, since we stood here just now, a group of people have been pointing around us, and it feels so uncomfortable.
A young man dressed in brocade stopped in the middle of the stone path in the center of Guqiao Town, while a strong man wearing a tiger skin and a half-human-high jujube wooden box on his shoulders looked left and right, seeing the slightly pitiful expressions of the townspeople around him, and whispered to Kuo Shao with a numb scalp.
"Hmph! Look at your useless look!"
"Ben Shao is the eldest son of the dignified Pang Mansion in Jiexiu City, and the gold and silver in his body are inexhaustible, and the turtles in these places naturally want to climb on his thighs when he sees Ben Shao, but now it's nothing to just watch!"
"What's more, a few days ago, the old lady Wang carried a scroll of scrolls that made my son very concerned, you must know that the usual canaries are tired of playing, and this kind of game is more interesting!"
Kuo Shao looked around, with a look of disdain between his eyebrows. "If it's really as iconic as it looks on the picture scroll, this trip is not in vain!"
"That's... Young master, if the head catcher who is a father is unwilling to sell his daughter... What should I do if I marry you?"
"Are you a pig's brain!" Kuo Shao stretched out his hand and slapped the strong man hard, but he felt a hot pain in his palm, and the strong man's face was not scarred.
"Your kung fu has touched the edge of the first-class master in the rivers and lakes, reach out and catch that wild animal, I don't believe anyone else can stop you!"
"The raw rice will be cooked on the night of the snatching, if these turtles swallow their anger, it's fine, if they dare to make trouble, they will find an opportunity to kill them all!"
When Kuo Shao came here, he saw the figures of Wang Lao Matchmaker and a few people walking slowly from the end of the alley not far away, so he straightened his collar and made a look and told the guards to retreat.
"Mrs. Wang, you let Ben Shao wait!"
"Young Master Pang, where is this! The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and other girls are going to be married by you, why don't you let her stay with her father for a while?"
In the end, it was an old lady who had seen the world, and this sentence resolved Fang Cai's embarrassment, and everyone on the side also echoed it. "That's it, it's rare for the big and young people in the city to come over, and let us outsiders see the freshness!"
Kuo Shao snorted and wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, a little girl of seven or eight years old came to Kuo Shao with a white garland, looking like she wanted to give it to the big man in front of her. (Well, this wreath is as big as a wreath...... )
"Look, people like Kuo Shao like the children they recruited when they first came to Guqiao Town like it, and if they meet the peerless girl for a while, it will definitely be smooth sailing!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand to take the garland and did not forget to flatter him, which led Kuo Shao and his guards on the road, and a group of people from Guqiao Town behind consciously stood in a line and bowed to Kuo Shao's back.
"Good luck along the way......"
