Chapter 080: Visiting Wu Lao

After lunch, Chen Qiuniang changed into a scholar's makeup, Panqing changed into a little girl's makeup, and Chen Wenzheng looked like a young man. The three of them brought drawings and silver taels to visit Wu Baohe.

The husband of the porter Wang drove the carriage and drove the three of them out of Liuhe Town slowly, and went straight to Wu Baohe's house. Along the way, it is rare to let Panqing get out of the car and report to his home to ask the locals for directions, which is regarded as a kind of popularity. Because if you dare to invite Wu Baohe, you have to be a great person if you can afford to invite Wu Baohe. Naturally, people want to ask more.

Wu Baohe lives in Yanxia Town, not far from Liuhe Town. Yanxia Town is a small town in the mountains, much smaller than Wuli Town. Everyone in this town is surnamed Wu, and Wu Baohe can be regarded as a person with a face here. It is said that the design, installation, and settlement of Yanxia Town were all operated by Wu Baohe himself.

The three of them took a carriage and asked people all the way, and walked slowly. When he was about to approach Yanxia Town, he heard a middle-aged man who was farming on the side of the road say, "You want to visit Wu Lao and invite Wu Lao out of the mountain?" ”

"Yes, uncle, what's wrong?" Chen Qiuniang asked politely.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, Old Wu has been very sick recently, and he's looking for a famous doctor." If you go now, you have to be empty. ”

"Huh?" Panqing screamed.

Chen Qiuniang glared at him and signaled him not to make a fuss. Only then did he salute the middle-aged man and asked, "Dare to ask this uncle, what is the situation with Elder Wu?" ”

The middle-aged man leaned on the hoe with both hands, sighed, and said, "It's sick, one morning five days ago, Wu Lao had breakfast, and said that he wanted to find a piece of wood in the mountains west to make a bed, but before he could go out, he suddenly fell down." Later, although he woke up, he couldn't speak, couldn't move, and was completely paralyzed in bed. Now Wu Lao's family and apprentices are asking about the miracle doctor everywhere. ”

"Alas, this is really unfortunate news, I hope Elder Wu can get better soon." Chen Qiuniang said politely.

The middle-aged man said, "Yes, I hope he gets better soon." But you're going to have to find another home. ”

"Thank you, uncle." Chen Qiuniang bowed and thanked her, then pulled Panqing into the carriage and signaled to continue to Yanxia Town.

When the middle-aged man saw that they hadn't turned the car, he immediately caught up with him and asked, "Why are you still going?" Don't you trust me? ”

Chen Qiuniang lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Uncle has a kind face, he is a sincere person, how can we not believe it." It's just that we came to this Yanxia Town, although the original intention was to ask Wu Lao to go out of the mountain to help us renovate the Yunlai Inn, but in fact, we also happened to have some rare maps in the world before, and we wanted to present them to Wu Lao for reading and teaching. Now, although Wu Lao can't speak and is sick in bed, he is still awake, and we will visit Wu Lao. After all, he's someone we respect a lot. ”

"I see." The middle-aged man nodded, took a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Naturally." Chen Qiuniang said with a smile.

"But people may not see you. You must know that Wu Lao's family and disciples are looking for a miracle doctor everywhere, and they are completely closed. The middle-aged man said again.

"Then let's go to the porter and leave the atlas in person. In short, we have great respect for Mr. Wu. Chen Qiuniang replied, and then exchanged a few polite words with your man, and then urged the carriage forward.

The carriage walked out for a long time, and Pan Qingcai said a little angrily: "It's just a peasant, Qiu Niang, you murder me." ”

"Where did you tell he's a peasant?" Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically, and then said, "What's wrong with the peasants?" What emperor didn't pay attention to the peasants? This attitude is not right. In the future, when our business grows bigger, we will have to cooperate with farmers. ”

"What do they have to work with?" Pan Qing muttered, probably thinking that Chen Qiuniang glared at him, and he was really unhappy.

Chen Wenzheng sat in the car and didn't say a word. Pan Qing said: "Childe, then Wu Baohe is sick, do we really want to go?" ”

"Mrs. Pinsuri also said that you are clever, why don't you have eyesight?" Chen Wenzheng glanced at him and said, "Wouldn't you say that other people's words can't be counted, and some important things have to be confirmed by yourself." Just look at that person, where does he look like a peasant? The hoe was new, the skin on his hands was white and tender, and the way he was digging the ground was not right. Also, what sweaty farmer would bring a clean handkerchief to wipe his sweat? Farmers are busy and hard, and they often wipe their sweat when they raise their sleeves, where do they pay so much attention to it? ”

Chen Qiuniang couldn't stop nodding, and waited for Chen Wenzheng to finish speaking before saying, "I didn't expect Gongzi, a scholar, to know this about farming. ”

Chen Wenzheng sighed and said: "Scholars, who help the world, how can they not understand agriculture." ”

"Childe don't worry, you are a talented person, and what you lack is an opportunity. One day, he will be able to get his wish. Chen Qiuniang is not comforting, but she really thinks that Chen Wenzheng's talent and knowledge can really help the world. Although he does not have the appearance of an emperor, he has long been able to strategize.

"Thanks to Qiu Niang's auspicious words, I am also looking forward to this day." Chen Wenzheng said with a smile, and then changed the topic, praising Chen Qiuniang for being a person who is also a person who is very perceptive, and she is first-class when she raises her hand to receive things.

Childe complimented. I'm just used to being in the countryside, and I'm used to seeing farming. The man was not a farmer, so he could see it at a glance. Chen Qiuniang replied.

"I see." I hope that this will be understood, and then I will fall into incomprehension. He scratched his head and asked, "Then what is the purpose of this man pretending to be a peasant?" Can we still believe what he sues? ”

Chen Qiuniang shrugged, looked at the studious Pan Qing, and said, "How do I know what the purpose is, I don't know if we can believe what he said." So, we have to go to Wu Baohe's house. ”

Chen Wenzheng also nodded in agreement. The three of them fell into peace again for a while. Chen Qiuniang was free to analyze the person's purpose. If you guess correctly, that person should be related to Wu Baohe. They came to visit Wu Baohe, and along the way, they stopped and stopped. Constantly asking for directions, Wu Bao and his disciples are numerous, and they are legendary and capable, so they must have known that someone was going to visit. And then it is not surprising that such a game was set up to test them on an improvised basis.

She thought to herself, and she didn't know how much time had passed, so she could hear the car say, "Gongzi Yanxia Town is here." ”

Chen Qiuniang opened the curtain and saw the archway of Yanxia Town, the archway is red lacquer, and the three words "Yanxia Town" are written in the strong pen on it.

"Childe, here it says that carriages can't go into town." The driver said.

Chen Qiuniang and the three of them also saw the notice next to them, saying that the town was renovating the road, and carriages and horses were not allowed to enter the town.

"Out of the way, you're waiting here. We'll go back as soon as we go. Chen Wenzheng flicked his sleeves and ordered the driver to catch the car, and then the three of them entered Yanxia Town together.

The design of the houses in Yanxia Town is really extremely exquisite in Feng Shui, and even the flowers and trees in the town are selected, and the flowers and trees that are easy to provoke unclean things are completely invisible in Yanxia Town. As for the architecture of Yanxia Town, starting from the entrance of the town, the carved beams and paintings in every place are carefully arranged, and even every decoration is exquisite.

The architecture of Yanxia Town can be regarded as a model of Chinese aesthetics both in whole and in part. Wu Baohe is indeed a master builder, and he is showing his work and ability to everyone who comes to him in the whole town of Yanxia. Chen Qiuniang, a genius woman in the Department of Architecture, saw the real architectural aesthetics and had to sigh. Of course, at the same time, she also lamented that time is a knife to kill pigs. No matter how good the characters are, they can't withstand the sharpening of time.

"Sure enough, it's a master's hand." Chen Wenzheng also sighed, standing with his hands in his hands, and his expression and movements were very quiet.

This day is not the market day in Yanxia Town, it is afternoon again, and there are not many people in the town. Chen Qiuniang and her entourage walked in this town, but they felt quite desolate.

"It's weirdly deserted here, but it's still Liuhe Town, it's lively." Pan Qing is a mundane boy in the end, and what he sees is only the solitude of the mundane.

Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng did not want to correct his views and led him to appreciate the beauty of architecture. The three of them walked like that, and according to the route that the man said before, they came to Chuanliu Street in Yanxia Town, and found Wu Baohe's home very smoothly.

Pan Qing called the door, and a little boy came out of it, and after a brief inquiry, he let the three of them in.

"Huh? It's so smooth. Pan Qing felt very surprised.

Chen Qiuniang chuckled and said, "What's so strange, let us come in, people have already discussed it." ”

"Huh? I don't understand. Don't make fun of me with your son. Tell me. Pan Qing said in a low voice.

"There aren't so many people who are idle and bored to pretend to be farmers. I thought that the farmer must be from the Wu family, and I told him the purpose of our visit. The farmer must have taken a shortcut and returned. At this point, whether we should come in or not has already been discussed. Chen Qiuniang replied in a low voice.

"Is there a shortcut, is there a shortcut?" Pan Qing's thinking slipped suddenly, and he asked.

Chen Qiuniang was speechless, just pointed to the house in Yanxia Town, and said, "We are walking the farthest road into the town. Just look at the feng shui of this architectural layout. ”

Pan Qing glanced at Chen Wenzheng, and got a look that agreed with Chen Qiuniang's statement, and he immediately praised Chen Qiuniang for being amazing.

Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, just looked around at Wu Baohe's home. Sure enough, it is a master's hand, and every place and angle can be painted, which is full of fun.

The three of them were led by Xiao Tong to the east wing, and a young man in white and masked came out of the inner room and said, "My name is Wu Yuce, and I am the eldest disciple of Master Wu Baohe. ”

"I've seen Senior Brother Wu." As soon as Chen Qiuniang bowed, she explained her intentions.

The man in white said with some hesitation: "But Master is ill and it is inconvenient to see guests." If you really have anything, tell me about it. ”

"My son-in-law is the proprietor of Yunlai Inn, and he came here to visit Wu always to invite Master Wu out of the mountain and renovate the Yunlai Inn for us. Of course, the main purpose is to get the atlas by chance, and after thinking about it, I feel that I can afford this atlas, and I am afraid that only Wu Lao knows this atlas, so I came to visit. Please also ask Gongzi to let us meet Wu Lao. Chen Qiuniang bowed and said. RS
