Chapter 37 Inquiring

Daotong took a knife to pat the ginger block, and replied: "If my sister wants to be clean, it is better to go to a rented room to live, we are a Taoist temple, compared to the first-class inn in the city, it is not cheaper, not only to give up the money, but also to the consent of the teacher, in the past few years, the people who live in the outside can also be counted on ten fingers." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Begonia frowned and asked, "Who can live?" My eldest brother is a palace envoy. ”

The little boy rolled his eyes, squatted on the ground with a grin, and stabbed the fire.

Haitang was waiting for him to reply, and it took a while to react, and he couldn't help but take a sip in his heart, still smiling on his face, took out a purse, and poured out dozens of copper coins to the stove.

Xiao Daotong didn't pick up the copper coin, but stared at Begonia's purse.

The purse is made by Begonia herself, and she chose a rare Hanlian color material, the embroidery is fine, and she can get more than 100 articles when she sells it, but she can't, so she has to put the purse on the stove.

Xiao Daotong grinned, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, he took the copper coins and purse, and then said slowly: "Sister doesn't know, our favorite talent, if there is a top-notch temperament and familiar with Taoism, you can live properly." As he spoke, he pointed, "Let your eldest brother wear a Taoist robe and act like a scholar, and when the head teacher comes back, he will find someone to introduce him, and it will be almost the same, I think the people who have been able to live in this past few years are like this." ”

He speaks childishly, and pretends to be an adult to speak.

Haitang only listened to it as a joke, and asked: "According to what you say, how many talented people have lived in the past few years?" ”

The two of them chatted back and forth, and after half an hour, when the big pot of ginger syrup was boiled into syrup, Haitang took a bowl and left.

When I got out of the door, I heard a sound inside, and it was the boy who poured water and washed the pot.

When he returned to the house at night, Haitang said the words that he had been found during the day.

Zhou Qin couldn't help frowning, "I'm afraid that what the little Taoist boy said is not credible. ”

At this time, there were three or five kinds of children who entered the Taoist temple, or their families were poor and had to find food to eat, so they were sent away; or just to get a heavenly background; There are also people who have been judged to be destined to become monks and cultivate Buddhism. But anyone who has some background, when he enters the door, his family will earnestly instruct the old Taoist to say, my child is dedicated to learning the Tao, not to mix rice and miscellaneous, don't dispose of it at will, and give some incense money every month.

These children will only study in the scripture room on weekdays, and when they are idle, they often have to go out to play, which is not much different from ordinary children.

But if you are sent to the kitchen, firewood room, or pulp washing room, it is a different situation.

The kitchen of the Taoist temple is different from the ordinary kitchen, all the chores have to be handed over to the little Taoist children to do, washing dishes and washing pots in winter, adding firewood to boil water, encountering Jiao, accompanied by a night of sleepless watching the fire is also common. There are few things in the kitchen, there is not much to eat, and I have to work every day.

There is a bottom floor everywhere, and the bottom floor of the Taoist kitchen is these Taoist children. But there are often sloppy and sloppy Taotongs in the kitchen, who can speak like this, full of literary accents, talking about everything in the view as if pointing out the country, and can also hold the key to the kitchen cabinet Xiaodaotong, Zhou Qin has heard of it for the first time in his two lives.

Begonia has entered the Huguo Mansion since she was four years old, and she usually only occasionally goes to the street to buy some things for her daughter's family to play, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation are all purchased by others, and her understanding of foreign common sense is almost none. She heard Zhou Qin say that something was wrong everywhere, she was anxious and angry, and squeezed the wrinkled handkerchief in her hand and said, "I...... I'll go to him tomorrow! ”

Zhou Qinwaner smiled: "What can you do if you find him, will he tell you that you will definitely be able to do what he says?" Or are you assuring yourself that you're telling the truth? But with a few pennies from you, can you still go to the yamen to sue him? ”

Haitang was suddenly deflated, so she had to say angrily: "I'll go to the kitchen manager and say that this little Taoist priest is a liar!" ”

Zhou Qin couldn't help laughing: "He can give the cabinet keys in the kitchen to that little Taoist, how do you expect him to deal with it?" ”

Haitang bit her lip and said, "Did you just let him go?!" ”

"He is lying, but he is not necessarily useless." In this life, there is no second uncle's henchman to take with her, Zhou Qin had to teach her hand in hand, "You ponder his words with your heart, that Dao Zichen has not been able to eat enough since he was a child, so he is coaxing you, have you ever seen that you can take the key to the kitchen without having enough to eat, and you can take ginger and sugar by yourself, and pour out a pot of sugar water without blinking your eyes?" After all, Changchunzi has been quite famous in the literary world since four or five years ago, and he has been praised by the university scholar Zhu Bing, who is highly virtuous and thoughtful, and it is normal to value a few scholars; As for the fact that in recent years, I told you that several literati who are familiar with Taoism have lived in Jinguan, and I don't judge whether there is such a thing, but I can know that this Yanqing Temple can allow outsiders to live for a long time......"

Zhou Qin was teaching Begonia how to keep the truth from the news he visited, and to extract the essence from the rough, Yanqing Guanzhong, but the little Taoist boy who had been fooling for a day shook the purse he had obtained during the day in his hand, hummed an out-of-tune song in his mouth, and went to the house in the south.

Seven or eight houses were built on the south side of Yanqing Guan, surrounded by a small courtyard, which was empty on weekdays, but only when the friends in charge of the teaching came came to sprinkle and sweep them clean for people to live in. There are also occasional undesirable lifters who will come to vote, and if they touch the eye, Changchun will also let them live in.

In this small half a year, a scholar lived in the courtyard. The scholar took a boy with him, and three or two servants. He lives in seclusion on weekdays, mostly studying behind closed doors. There are occasional visitors, and no one else knows about them. It's just that he has to talk to the master every few days, and he is a genius.

"Yo, Xiao Qi'er is willing to come back so early today? I thought you were going to sleep in our kitchen. A little Taoist priest passing by saw the little Taoist boy and quipped.

Xiao Daotong, that is, Xiao Qi casually touched a few copper plates from his purse and smashed them at the Taoist priest, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, wait for the little master to gag your mouth with a cabbage gang tomorrow!" ”

The little Taoist priest hurriedly took the copper plate, and replied with a smile: "Just wait for our little seventh master to gag my mouth with silver." ”

Xiao Qi took a bite of him and entered the courtyard without looking back. The little Taoist priest still called out behind him: "Seventh Master, what will we eat tomorrow!" ”

There was a servant in his fifties guarding the door in the courtyard, and he happened to have a full view of this scene, and when he saw Xiao Qi's indecent appearance, he deliberately used words to scare him: "Don't be scared, your young master is here."
