This person is none other than the party. After a little reminiscence, Dang Zaixing said: "There has been a lot of news in the past few days, and I don't know where to start." ”

Di Fan said: "Don't be in a hurry, come one by one, and speak slowly." ”

Dang Zaixing took out three letters from his arms and handed them to Di Fan, which were brought by Zhang Shunzi, He Shime and Yang Wulang. Then Dang Zaixing said: "A few days ago, some small sects such as Shuanglongmen, Jingunmen and Dadaogang have arrived in Shaolin, and if they don't agree with each other, they will start with the monks. They are definitely not the opponents of the Shaolin Temple, they have long been sent away. Of course, they didn't go far, gathering at the foot of the mountain. ”

Di Fan looked at the letter and said, "Okay, let's talk about something else." ”

Dang Zaixing said: "Among some of the major factions, the Wudang faction, headed by Yue Boyun, led Nian Huazi, Yan Hezi, Tong Renzi and the fifth son, as well as the Huaye Villa in Zhejiang, Miao Xiulou in Jiangsu and the Donghai faction in Shandong, all arrived in Shaolin recently; Lu Youwei and Yu Tianxi of the Songshan faction also rushed to Shaolin; Immediately after the Songshan faction, the Kongtong faction, the Taishan faction, the Huashan faction, the Hengshan faction, the Hengshan faction, and the beggar gang are also about to arrive; Gao Baorong led a team of people, just arrived at the foot of the Shaolin Temple, and it is estimated that he has merged with those small sects; The National Teacher's Mansion also dispatched a large number of people on the way to Shaolin, including Kong Caonan and Yan Huazi, who injured their eldest brother; There are also some unknown people who have also rushed to Shaolin. ”

Di Fan said: "Why didn't Emei and Kunlun send people to Shaolin? ”

Dang Zaixing said: "I have investigated, the Kunlun faction is because the head died half a month ago, and now they are competing for the position of head again, they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they care about the affairs of the Shaolin faction." As for the Emei faction, it was besieged by Meng Chang's men and horses of Shu State before, and it was difficult to protect itself for a while. I heard that as soon as he set off, Song Qiaoxi led several disciples of the jade generation to come, and Zhong Yuxue was also among them. Strangely, Manichaeism was insatiable, and this time it seems that there is no movement. ”

Di Fan said: "It cannot be said that Manichaeism is insatiable, more than eighty percent of people are insatiable. You continue. ”

Dang Zaixing said: "In the land of the Central Plains, it seems that there are officers and soldiers in the vicinity of all sects who are ready to move, and they don't know what they are doing. ”

Di Fan thought for a moment and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Dang Zaixing said: "The following things are a bit miserable. On the Han River leading to Xiangzhou, all the people of the Tank Gang were killed. In Yingzhou, like the Dama Dart Bureau, the helm of the Sink Gang was also destroyed overnight, and I heard that only the deputy gang leader Huo Xiqiang escaped. ”

At this time, Di Fan had already finished reading three letters and said, "It's not good, something big may happen, and we have to rush to Shaolin as soon as possible." ”

Dang Zaixing was puzzled and asked, "Big brother, what's going to happen?" ”

Di Fan said: "It's too late to tell you in detail. Now, in the name of the owner of the village, in Meicheng, Xiaotongcheng, Xiaotangzhou, Ruding, Wuliu, Xishui, Shihe and Macheng and other cities near the Qianzhuang branch to prepare some grain, grass and clothing, a total of 1.5 million taels of grain and grass, 3 million sets of clothes. ”

The party asked, "What is this for?" ”

Di Fan first took a pen and paper, prepared to write something, and at the same time told him in detail about his appointment as the deputy envoy of the Manichaean Qinglong, and finally talked about his concerns. Dang Zaixing said: "In order to save the fifth brother, the sixth son and the two daughters of the Yu League, this is also a helpless thing. However, being good with any guest will not break the rules of my Central Plains Bank. Besides, in this **** year, being the deputy envoy of Qinglong, with the arrow in hand, I think the benefits should outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Di Fan wrote four letters in one go, handed them all to Dang Zaixing, and then said: "This is not necessarily, anyway, I can only do this for now." ”

Dang Zaixing took the letter and looked at the cover, which was sent to He Shime, Zhang Shunzi, Yang Wulang and Niu Zhongquan. Di Fan said: "These four letters must be sent out immediately, and there are still a few things that need to be done by my brother." Di Fan whispered in the ear of the party Zaixing.

Dang Zaixing was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to buy a horse?" ”

Di Fan said: "Don't worry about why, after going to the old city government to finish the matter, hand over the matter of buying a horse to Ma Shangzhi, he knows the way." As for the horses bought, some of them can be raised in the pastures of the old city, and some of them can be raised in the back mountains of the Seven Star Sect. If I don't have enough money in my name, I can discuss it with Qian Wanguan, and he will definitely agree. ”

Dang Zaixing said: "If this is the case, then it will not bother the owner of the money, and this business is still earned by the eldest brother himself." Di Fan smiled slightly, and let the party do things quickly. After Dang Zaixing said goodbye to Di Fan, he still went out of the window.

After seeing that the party was leaving, Di Fan said to himself, saying: "It is not a matter that the party can find it anywhere." If you go to Shaolin and are recognized by everyone, then there are too many things. No, we have to find a way. After speaking, Di Fan went out of the room and knocked on Gu Zhuole's door.

Gu Zhuole was awakened by Di Fan in his sleep, and knew that Di Fan wanted to avoid everyone's attention, so he said, "I have a way to do this." Di Fan was puzzled, but she was pulled into the resting room, and her heartbeat increased slightly. Gu Zhuole only let Di Fan sit down in front of the dresser, and took out a makeup box from his baggage, and when he opened it, the box contained everything in it. At this time, Di Fan understood, it turned out that Gu Zhuole knew makeup, and he had more love in his heart. About half an hour later, Gu Zhuole dressed Di Fan. Di Fan looked at the bronze mirror and found that he was like a small farmer in the township, and he was extremely happy, and said, "Sister, look, I look like a woodcutter?" ”

Gu Zhuole looked at Di Fan's appearance, and he was also very happy, and said, "It's just that his words and deeds don't look like this dress." ”

Di Fan laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll ask Shopkeeper Yun to send some coarse cloth clothes in a while, and that's it." ”

Gu Zhuole said: "Okay, I want it too." ”

Di Fan nodded and said, "I haven't found out that my sister still has such a pair of skillful hands." As he spoke, Di Fan took Gu Zhuole's little hand and stroked it.

Gu Zhuole was a little shy, and after a while, he pulled Di Fan up from the stool and said, "Brother, go find some clothes, I will also dress up." After speaking, Gu Zhuole sat down. Di Fan also thought in his heart that he had rushed to Shaolin earlier, so he went out to find Yunzhongjing. Di Fan came to the front hall from the backyard and saw only one guy, named Pan You, twenty-five or sixteen, sitting reclining and dozing off. Di Fan sat down across from him and didn't wake him up.

After a while, Pan You woke up, and when he saw Di Fan looking at him, he was a little panicked, so he said, "If the third master has any orders, the villain will do it." ”

Di Fan asked, "Why do you call me the third master?" Where's the view in the clouds? Pan You first said that the shopkeeper Yun was in the back kitchen, and then talked about what Yun Zhongjing commanded. It turned out that after Di Fan settled in the backyard, Yun Zhongjing instructed the people in the inn, saying that Di Fan was his third master and his youngest third uncle, and that if Di Fan had any requests, he must try his best to meet them. Of course, this is something that only ordinary people can believe. Di Fan smiled slightly, chatted with Pan You, and asked about the business situation of the Dengyuan Inn. Pan Youyou replied one by one, saying that business was booming, and said: "The cloud shopkeeper added the staff of the inn as early as half a month ago, so that we can change a wave of people every four hours, and never close for twelve hours a day." ”

Di Fan said: "Then when is Pan You's brother counted?" ”

Pan You said: "The villain doesn't dare to be the brother of the third master, he has been working from time to time, no, he was a little sleepy when he first came, and he asked the third master not to say it, otherwise the villain's gold will be gone this month." ”

Di Fan nodded and said, "You can, you can work for eight hours a day." I don't know how much gold there is? ”

Pan You smirked, didn't say anything about the gold paste, only said: "The villain has a lot of mouths at home, and if you work for four more hours, you can get more than half of the money in a month." ”

From now on, Di Fan slowly understood how difficult the life of ordinary people was, so he said: "Brother Pan, I remember you." Pan You was a little confused when he heard Di Fan say this, but he saw Di Fan walking towards the back kitchen. Not long after, Di Fan appeared behind Gu Zhuole wearing a coarse cloth suit, carrying a small bag, and two sleeves. At this time, Gu Zhuole was also dressed up, and when he saw Di Fan, he smiled and said, "I was originally a little woodcutter in the mountains, why did I suddenly become a cook?" ”

Di Fan saw Gu Zhuole's dress, like a daughter to be married from a foreign family, and was matching the clothes he brought, and after saluting, he said: "The villain is Di San, the assistant chef in the young lady's family, this is the clothes that the villain asked for from the shopkeeper, I don't know if it is in line with Miss's wishes." ”

Gu Zhuole took the burden, laughed out loud, and said, "Well, my brother is very similar." ”

Di Fan said: "I have taken a spoon in the old city before and stayed in the back kitchen, so I have some feelings. ”

Gu Zhuole said: "Brother is in such a hurry, where are you going?" ”

Di Fan said: "Didn't you say that you wanted to go to Shaolin at the Goddess Peak before? Miss, hurry up and change into the clothes in your baggage, and let's go to the front hall for a bite to eat and set off in a moment, okay? After speaking, Di Fan sat on the couch in the living room, just waiting for Gu Zhuole to finish changing his clothes, but he didn't know that he fell asleep after a while. When Di Fan opened his eyes, he saw that he was covered with a blanket. Gu Zhuole was also sitting on the couch, looking at him.

Di Fan said, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

Gu Zhuole said: "It's been the fifth watch, and my brother has slept for about two hours. I think my brother is tired, so I didn't dare to wake you up. ”

Di Fan smiled: "My sister didn't sleep, she has been sitting?" ”

Gu Zhuole said: "I'm afraid that my brother will catch a cold, so I ......" Di Fan felt comforted in his heart, but he was still going to Shaolin sooner, and he didn't show it, so he pulled Gu Zhuole to the front hall and prepared to eat. Just came to the front hall, at this time there was still only Pan alone, seeing Di Fan and Gu Zhuole coming, although he was a little surprised to see the two dressed up, he still stepped forward to say hello and said, "Third Master and Madam, the dim sum has just been prepared, please use it slowly." ”

Gu Zhuole had already been misunderstood many times, so he didn't say anything, just embarrassed and a little shy. Di Fan said, "It's not a lady, it's a sister." ”

Pan You still muttered in his mouth, saying: "It's obviously a lady, but I don't admit it, this rich family's thinking is different." ”

Di Fan and Gu Zhuole didn't pay much attention, so they sat down together and started eating. It's naturally a good table, and it's hot. Two hours passed, and the two of them ate it fresh in their mouths. Gu Zhuole thought to himself: It seems that this Dengyuan Inn is still very attentive to us, and this meal is naturally served on one table, and then changed to another.

After a while, the two of them ate almost, and after a short rest, they went to the Shaolin Temple together, but on a country road. After the hour, the two came to a place called Weijia Village at the foot of Shaomu Mountain. Some villagers in Weijia Village are pushing small carts full of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as if they have just returned from the field.

Gu Zhuole said: "The villagers at the foot of this Shaomu Mountain look different from other places, and every family has a bumper harvest!" ”

But Di Fan could see that although the villagers had a bumper harvest, there was no joy on their faces, so he said: "Yes, it's very accurate, it looks different." ”

Gu Zhuole was puzzled and said, "What do you mean, brother?" ”

Di Fan explained: "From the detailed map of Manichaeism that we have seen, this Weijia Village is naturally in the sphere of influence of the Shaolin Temple. But the villagers didn't seem to be happy in the slightest. ”

Gu Zhuole said: "Why is that? ”

Di Fan said: "I don't know, let's go ask first." ”

Gu Zhuole said: "Aren't we going to Shaolin faster? ”

Di Fan smiled slightly and said, "When you go down to Shaolin Mountain, you don't have to worry, some things are more important than going to Shaolin." Gu Zhuole was puzzled. At this moment, a pair of old men were pushing the cart home, but due to fatigue, the cart was about to overturn in an instant. Di Fan straightened the cart and said, "Uncle, be careful, pull back such a big cart of vegetables, and it is so tender, if you fall at the door of the house, it will not be good, and the harvest of more than a month will be gone." ”

This old man is the fourth in the family, so he is called Uncle Wei Ji, known as the fourth uncle, he is too old, his hair is gray, his face is thin, although he has some strength, he is very haggard, and his skin is only attached to his bones, and there are not a few muscles in sight. His wife's name is Chang Yiyi, who is also as thin as him, and has a cough, and carries a basket in his hand, but there are some broken vegetables. When Uncle Wei Ji saw Di Fan coming to help, he hurriedly thanked him, looked at Di Fan's hands, and asked, "The doll is a cropper?" ”

Di Fan understood Uncle Wei Ji's words, and he had an idea, and said, "No, it's just a young man who is a cook from our Gu Yuan's family." ”

Uncle Wei Ji said: "This dish, whether it is dropped or loaded on the cart, it will not be old for a while." ”

Di Fan originally felt strange because the villagers of Weijia Village did not feel happy, and after hearing Uncle Wei Ji say this, he was even more puzzled, if he ate at home, where would he use so many fresh side dishes, so he only said: "This family dish is not my own, is it still someone else's?" ”

Uncle Wei Ji smiled, looked at Di Fan and Gu Zhuole again, and said, "The two dolls are not locals, right?" ”

Di Fan nodded and said, "Well, we are from Yaoshan, this is our young lady from the foreign family, because she escaped marriage, she came to the foot of this Shaolin Mountain, and she was about to go to Shaolin Temple to make a wish." ”

Uncle Wei Ji and Chang both laughed, and Uncle Wei Ji said: "The doll doesn't know, our village is called Weijia Village, and now it is the boundary of Shaolin Temple." I heard that a lot of people have come to this Shaolin Temple recently, and this dish will be sent to the masters on the mountain in a while. ”

Di Fan nodded and said, "So that's the case, then the Shaolin Temple will also give some money." ”

Uncle Wei Ji smiled again and said, "That was forty years ago. ”

At this time, Gu Zhuole had already taken Chang Yiyi's basket and said, "Brother, let's help the old man and the old woman push the car home first." Di Fan nodded, and then pushed the cart with Uncle Wei Ji, Gu Zhuole carried the basket and helped Chang Yiyi to follow. Uncle Wei Ji's home is at the head of Weijia Village, which is a separate place, more than a mile away from Weijia Village, and after a while, the four of them arrived. After the cart was parked, Uncle Wei Ji invited Di Fan and Gu Zhuole to sit in the house, and Chang decided to make tea by himself.

After a little greeting, Uncle Wei Ji continued with his original words: "Our Weijia Village originally belonged to the emperor, but since Emperor Li replaced Emperor Zhu, this place has become the place of Shaolin Temple, including a radius of hundreds of miles, all of which belong to Shaolin Temple. ”

Di Fan said: "I heard that the current abbot of Shaolin Temple, Ben Hui Zen Master, is a high-ranking monk, so he shouldn't oppress the villagers, right?" ”

Uncle Wei Ji said: "The old man didn't say that the abbot master was bad, but this land within a radius of hundreds of miles is under the control of his senior brother Master Konghui. Since Zen Master Benhui became the abbot, the land rent paid by our Weijia village has reached fifty percent. ”

Di Fan was taken aback and said, "How can the villagers live?" ”

Uncle Wei Ji said: "How can you live, the province has only been a year." ”

Di Fan said: "No matter how much you save, it's not enough, right? ”

Uncle Wei Ji sighed and said, "Hey, there are better things, all of them are left for the doll." It's really not enough, so it's better to go to the mountains to get some wild vegetables and still survive, than to go anywhere else. My wife and I are in the old family, which is enough to eat. ”

Di Fan said: "It seems that the imperial court also collects forty percent of the tax. ”

Uncle Wei Ji said: "The doll doesn't know something, this court doesn't just collect some taxes. In the event of a war or anything else, it will be levied at any time, and it may even be levied in advance. This Shaolin Temple is okay, as long as the rent is paid before the end of the year. Di Fan remembered the letter from Master He, and the letter said that Anzhou had advanced and doubled the collection of taxes, and quickly nodded yes. Just hearing Uncle Wei Ji say this, Di Fan was a little sad. This rent should not have been levied so much, and the Shaolin Temple is also fifty steps and a hundred steps, but Uncle Wei Ji feels that it is acceptable.

While talking, Chang Yiyi said that he would cook earlier, and he would have to send the dishes to Shaolin before lunch, and leave Di Fan and Gu Zhuole to eat at home. Di Fan said that he was a cook, and he would cook some meals, so that Uncle Wei Ji and Chang could rest. Gu Zhuole also said that Di Fan's cooking was delicious, and he could accompany the second elder to talk for a while. Di Fan went to the back kitchen first, smelling the aroma of rice, it turned out that Chang Yiyi had already sat down with rice. Uncle Wei Ji was not at ease, and then went to the back kitchen, not only to help light the fire, but also to ask Di Fan to cook more dishes.

Di Fan washed the loofah, winter melon, eggplant and pumpkin in three or two efforts, and used the technique of "Golden Holy Hand" to peel the loofah and winter melon cleanly. The knife work is also extremely fast, and only the loofah is cut well. At this time, Uncle Wei Ji brought two eggs and asked Di Fan to cook. Di Fan wanted to let the second elder keep it and eat it slowly. Uncle Wei Ji smiled and stuffed it into Di Fan's hand.

At this time, the pot was hot, Di Fan put a little vegetable oil, quickly knocked the eggs into the bowl, poured them into the pot after quick stirring, picked up the spatula between the index finger and middle finger of the right hand, played a circle in the pot, scooped up the tender eggs, and immediately sliced the loofah into the pot, when the loofah is about to be cooked, pour in the eggs, stir a little and mix well; Then the pot was washed, Di Fan put a small piece of pickled fat pork, and after a while, he used the technique of "Golden Sage" to remove the oil residue with chopsticks in one hand, and cut the winter melon into thin slices with the other hand, and fell into the pot. After three or two efforts, a plate of fried winter melon is good. Then wash the pot again, scoop a scoop of water, pour it into the pot, put it on the steaming board, put a saucer on the steaming board, and when the water just starts to boil, the eggplant will be thrown high, and the eggplant will be cut into four parts, and they will all fall on the plate; After a few cuts in the pumpkin, the index finger and middle finger of the left hand clamped the pumpkin handle, only to see a large piece of pumpkin along the knife body, evenly sliding on the steaming board, and finally covering the pot.

Uncle Wei Ji was stunned when he saw it in his eyes one by one, and he was amazed in his heart, and after a while, he came to his senses and said, "I have never seen such a stir-fried vegetable before." ”

Di Fan smiled and said, "My mother is the chef outside the Gu Yuanwai, and I have also learned some to ensure that it is delicious." ”

Uncle Wei Ji said: "The old man has an idea, I don't know if the doll is willing to do it?" ”

Di Fan said: "Fourth uncle, please speak." ”

Uncle Wei Ji said: "This Shaolin Temple has been very busy recently, and is looking for cooks everywhere, and yesterday I came to the village to look for people, I wonder if the doll is willing to go to Shaolin to cook?" Anyway, you're going to Shaolin to make a wish, so I can save some money for your eloping dolls. ”

Di Fan said: "How can Miss and I be a couple? I told my fourth uncle before that it was my young lady who ran away from the marriage, and I just came out with her. ”

Uncle Wei Ji smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, your young lady is running away from marriage, it's true." However, you are the person she wants. Otherwise, how can a young lady call a guy a brother, and she is still so close? Di Fan was speechless, he could only nod yes, and also expressed his willingness to go to Shaolin. After a while, Di Fan lifted the lid of the pot, sprinkled some salt on the plate, took the dish out with a kitchen knife, and then covered the pot again, and asked Uncle Wei Ji to extinguish the fire on the stove. Di Fan brought out the three dishes, and Uncle Wei Ji went to serve the meal. Di Fan just turned around, but saw Gu Zhuole peeking at the crossing. It turned out that Gu Zhuole heard the conversation between Di Fan and Uncle Wei Ji clearly, and when he saw Di Fan, he shook his head and walked away. This is the first time that Di Fan has admitted the relationship between the two in front of outsiders, and Gu Zhuole has already touched his heart.

After a while, the rice was served, and the scrambled eggs with loofah, the fried winter melon and the steamed eggplant were all excellent dishes, and Chang Yiyi praised them. Uncle Wei Ji and Chang Yiyi gave Di Fan and Gu Zhuole a lot of vegetables, and they only said that they were old and couldn't eat much. Di Fan knew in his heart that this was the innocent and simple true feelings of the fourth uncle and the second elder for him. And Gu Zhuole ate very deliciously, thinking that this was the best meal she had ever eaten. After a while, Di Fan went to the kitchen to bring pumpkin, which was really fragrant. Without further ado, the four of them were full in a while. After a short rest, Uncle Wei Ji pushed the cart and set off, accompanied by Di Fan, and Gu Zhuole and Chang watched each other.
