Chapter 13 Childe Beware of Being Struck by Lightning
Su Su sat on the threshold of the small dilapidated house, waiting, and when she saw Bu An coming from the other side of the mountain, she immediately got up and ran over, and asked worriedly, "Childe, has the old thief been driven away?"
Bu An shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "The person is gone, leaving the trouble behind." ”
Su Su frowned, followed Bu'an into the dark and shabby house, watched him light the oil lamp, scoop water from the water tank and wash his face, and finally couldn't help asking, "Childe...... What's the trouble?"
"Little trouble," Bu An rubbed the cloth towel and handed it to Su Su, "It's that from tomorrow, your son-in-law will be deviant." ”
"I've washed my face," Su Su pushed away the cloth towel and said curiously, "Childe, what do you mean by deviance?"
Bu An was just about to dry the cloth towel, when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said, "How did you wash your face?"
Su Su licked the wet palm of his hand as a matter of course, and then wiped two handfuls back and forth on the fleshy pink and tender face with the palm of his hand, spreading his hands, the implication is, what else can he do besides washing like this?
"You call it deviance. Bu An laughed and laughed, and quickly taught her how to wash her face with a cloth towel soaked in water, and did not forget to emphasize: "Remember, in the future, except for eating, you are not allowed to lick everywhere with your tongue, so that others will see that you are a demon." ”
Su Su washed her face in accordance with the method taught by Bu'an, and then squeezed into a large wooden basin with a broken corner with Bu'an to wash her feet.
At this time, Bu An deliberately stepped on Su Su's little feet, looked at her with a smile, and saw that she had no reaction, so he scratched his head and said: "Other cats don't like to be held by their paws, why are you different." ”
Su Su grinned and said, "I feel very comfortable being stepped on by my son." ”
The only cloth towel in the room was used to wipe the face, and after washing the feet, I had to rest on the edge of the basin to dry. Su Su's little feet were as white as jade, and when Bu An rubbed the soles of her feet with her toes, she giggled while dodging them.
Under the dim butter lamp is a small dilapidated house with four walls, but one person and one demon, one master and one servant are giggling, and they do not look shabby at all.
After drying his feet, Bu'an put on cloth shoes and went out to pour out the footwater, and when he came back, Su Su had already got into the quilt. Bu An slept across from her, covered the quilt, blew out the oil lamp, and reminded, "Hey...... Don't lick my feet when you're asleep. ”
Su Su smiled and said "um".
After a while, she remembered the previous topic again, "Childe, are you going to wipe your face with saliva from tomorrow?"
Bu An smiled and shook his head, thinking, this kitten is really simple, she will believe whatever she says, looked up at the pitch-black ceiling, and explained: "My master said that if you don't want to get rich, you will either be famous all over the world, or you will deviate from the norm......"
"Childe, why don't you choose to be famous all over the world? Su Su whispered.
"You don't understand that. Bu An crossed his hands behind his head, "Everything must pay attention to the success rate, and you can't die on a tree." Besides, deviant and famous, who's to say you can't have both?"
He said it lightly, but it was not easy in his heart. In order to achieve what Tu Yao said, it is necessary to go against the Confucian spirit of abiding by the mean, and offend all the Confucian heroes who float three feet above their heads.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was nothing, anyway, I was a little out of place with this Confucianism. Reciting poems and summoning spirits is not only useful for Confucian spirits, but also for trees to move the dead and the living, maybe it will be more like a fish in water to change places.
"Su Su," he said softly, "After I go down the mountain tomorrow morning, I will die and go to practice, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to this academy for three or five years." ”
"Wherever Childe goes, Su Su will go. Su Su said indifferently, paused and puzzled: "Childe...... What does it mean to be deviant?"
Bu An sighed: "It's probably misbehavior, weird behavior, non-stop speech, others say things and I talk west...... I'm afraid that sooner or later I'll be struck by lightning if I pretend to be forced like this. ”
At first, Su Su could still understand the first few sentences, but at the end of the sentence, she didn't know what it meant at all, and she asked with some worry: "Childe won't really be struck by lightning, right?"
Bu An smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will only split me." Go to sleep, I'll have to wake up early tomorrow. ”
With the gentle sound of the wind and insects chirping in the spring night, Su Su quickly fell asleep and snored slightly, but Bu An still kept his eyes open in the dark, and only turned over after a while, and said lightly: "Bu Hongxuan old thief, you just watch, one day, I will send all your two sons to the ......."
......
......
"Ahh
At the Yanxi ferry port at the foot of Tianmu Mountain, in the cabin of the official ship that had just pulled anchor and set off, Bu Hongxuan, the prefect of Jiaxing, sneezed violently.
The second son, Bu Weiping, hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare ginger tea, and asked worriedly: "Daddy, I see that the third brother came to this day's Mu Academy, as if he had changed as a person." He will join the Yu family in the future, if he really falls in love with Miss Yu, will it be against us?"
Bu Hongxuan sat down on the edge of the bed covered with brocade, wrapped himself in the big coat he was wearing, shook his head and chuckled: "The daughter of the Yu family is a talented woman who is famous in Bianjing, how can she look down on him." If it weren't for Lord Yu's bent on recruiting trouble, I am afraid that those who come to ask for relatives will squeeze through the gate of Yu's mansion. The useless things are in the past, they are just utensils used by the Yu family to pass on the ancestry, so there is no need to worry about it. ”
Bu Weiping nodded with a smile and said: "What Daddy said is true! The son-in-law of ordinary people is not as effective as the personal maid of the main family, but I think too much." ”
Bu Hongxuan pondered for a moment and said: "Wei'er, when you go back to Jiaxing this time, you will change ships and go north, while Jingping is still in Bianjing, just to introduce you to the talents of the capital." Later, he is afraid that he will have to leave Beijing to take up his post. ”
Bu Jingping is the eldest son of Bu Hongxuan, twenty-six years old this year, he went to Bianjing seven years ago, including Enke, who opened after the new emperor ascended the throne, a total of three meritorious examinations, all of which fell to Sun Mountain.
Bu Hongxuan probably also knew that this eldest son didn't have much talent, and he didn't blame him for failing many times, but he never stopped feeding him with silver, and asked him to try his best to make friends with the children of high-ranking officials in the capital.
This time, with the relationship between Lord Yu, Bu Jingping finally got a petty official from the seventh rank to do it, and he will soon go south to take up his post.
Bu Weiping took the ginger tea from his subordinates, respectfully handed it to Bu Hongxuan, and said, "Daddy said before that he wanted me to go to Bianjing Kaona Lehu Academy, but Wei'er didn't understand. Lord Yu and Confucianism are on the same page, and the third brother is just a son-in-law, so naturally it doesn't matter, but if I am also admitted to the academy, won't it be bad for you......"
Bu Hongxuan condensed and said: "If you are admitted to Lehu Academy, I will pretend to cut off relations with you." ”
Bu Weiping was so shocked that he fell to his knees and cried: "Daddy, even if you beat me to death, I don't want to betray the house!"
"Bastard!" Bu Hongxuan suddenly became furious, "Are you trying to break my Bu family's bloodline?!"
Bu Weiping raised his head with teary eyes, and said puzzledly: "Daddy...... Where does that begin?"
Bu Hongxuan glanced at the closed hatch and sighed: "Wei'er, do you know that the world is unpredictable, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi." Today, the imperial party is gaining power, but many people in the court secretly send their heirs to the academy entrance examination. Just because the evil moon is coming, who can guarantee that the emperor will not use the Confucianism again......"
Bu Weiping seemed to understand a little, and said suspiciously: "Are you worried about Lord Yu's ......?"
"The emperor wants to win over the world's cultivators with a month-by-month order, this is a yang scheme, once it succeeds, Confucianism will be drawn from the bottom of the kettle; but if it doesn't work, the emperor may have to turn back and curry favor with Confucianism......" Bu Hongxuan paused, and said softly: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, after the emperor ascended the throne, he changed a large number of important ministers, but he kept Lord Yu, do you know why?"
Bu Weiping looked dazed.
Bu Hongxuan sighed a little disappointed, and said in a very low voice: "The emperor handed over all matters related to the monthly order to the Inspectorate to be in charge, if this matter is successful, Lord Yu will naturally sit down as the minister of the humerus above 10,000 people under one person, if it doesn't work...... The head on his neck is a gift of apology left by the emperor for the Confucian sects in the world......"
When Bu Weiping heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said tremblingly: "But, but...... The calamity of the evil moon, how can a cultivator deal with it?"
Bu Hongxuan shook his head and said: "The evil moon is not terrible, what is terrible is the human ......" He saw that the second son Bu Weiping didn't understand the meaning of this, and sighed: "Sending your third brother to the Yu family for his father is to take chestnuts in the fire and seek wealth in danger, it is precisely because of this that I want to send you to the academy and leave a way back for my Bu family, do you understand?"
Bu Weiping nodded tearfully.
