Chapter 118: Master's Birthday Gift
After dinner, Zhu Xishi took the sewn underwear and walked towards Sheng Zijun's room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that he was concentrating on studying medicinal materials, and Zhu Xishi couldn't bear to disturb him, so he sat down on the side and waited quietly.
I don't know how long I waited, some thirsty Sheng Zijun turned around and wanted to pour himself a cup of tea to moisten his mouth, but he was surprised to find Zhu Xishi sitting quietly at the table.
"When did you come?"
Seeing that Sheng Zijun finally found his own storage, he smiled with relief and responded: "I've been here for a while, and I can't bear to disturb you when I see that you are quite involved in researching medicinal materials." ”
With a little bit of understanding, Sheng Zijun picked up the teacup absentmindedly and was about to pour himself tea; Seeing Zhu Xishi watching his actions again, he hurriedly asked embarrassedly: "Do you want to have a cup of tea?!" ”
"No, you don't." As if sensing the subtle changes in the atmosphere, Zhu Xishi had an idea, handed the sewn underwear in front of him closer to Sheng Zijun, and said slowly: "I have mended your underwear for you, you can see how it is." ”
He swallowed the hot tea, and the hot Sheng Zijun's little tongue was knotted. In a hurry, he took his underwear and unfolded it, and the left corner of his shirt that had been torn off earlier had been filled with a piece of fabric of similar color; At the junction of the old and new fabrics, Zhu Xishi actually used some colored threads to embroider the traces into a few green bamboos, which not only covered up the ugliness of the patch, but also looked more colorful and elegant than before the underwear was broken.
Suddenly, Sheng Zijun's surprised face showed a look of satisfaction.
"I don't see you're quite clever. How do you know I like bamboo? ”
"What's so hard about that. On weekdays, you are not a serious person in old clothes, and you look like you are in the world. Anyone with a little brain can guess that you like the nobility of bamboo. ”
Although the words were smooth, Zhu Xishi suddenly stopped the apprehension in his heart after seeing Sheng Zijun's satisfied smile. On weekdays, I see him with a big grin. But he is a picky master, and he is really afraid that he will be unhappy with his good ideas.
"Brother, I don't need to pretend again, but the noble temperament that I was born with in my bones, you don't know how to appreciate it."
"Stinky beauty, you." snorted disdainfully, the smile on the corner of Zhu Xishi's mouth did not dissipate, and became more and more brilliant.
"Did you take the medicine on time?"
"I've eaten it, thank you for your concern."
Seeing Sheng Zijun's temperament, he had the temperament of a chicken woman. Zhu Xishi's tone became a little impatient: "It's all because you are making too much fuss!" I'm not a famous person, but I just burned it once, and even Uncle Niu's family was busy grabbing and boiling medicine for me. I really don't have the face to stay in their house anymore. ”
"Yo yo yo, your face looks quite big, and your shame is so thin, it's weird."
"You're the big-faced monster! Too lazy to bother with you. Since Master Ji is satisfied with my craftsmanship. Then I have a thing on my mind. Leave. Hello sit and don't send! ”
"Alas, wait, I haven't finished my sentence yet!"
Seeing that Zhu Xishi, who was full of displeasure, got up to leave, Sheng Zijun hurriedly stepped forward to block the way, looking very anxious.
"What, what else does Master Ji have to tell the little girl?!"
"You girl can't grow up eating gunpowder, and her mouth is full of thorns and unforgiving. I want to say that you have been raised at Uncle Niu's house for the past two days, so you don't need to do physical training for the time being. Why don't you take me around town tomorrow and walk around? ”
He looked at Sheng Zijun back and forth several times with hesitant eyes. Zhu Xishi really couldn't guess what little calculations he had in mind. You said that he Sheng Zijun was a handful of years, and he had been traveling south and north for so many years, what scene had he never seen, and it was rare to visit a small market town? Obviously, something doesn't make sense.
"You're still young, what are you doing in town if you have nothing to do? Let's join in the fun. ”
As soon as Sheng Zijun was asked about this, he scratched his head a little stunned and smiled quite awkwardly.
"I want to ask grandma to do me a little favor. In half a month, my master's 60th birthday will be celebrated, and I, as an apprentice, naturally want to congratulate his old man on his birthday; It's just that I've never been good at red tape, and I see that you usually have a lot of ghost ideas, so I want to ask you to help me sum up what birthday gifts to give. ”
"You're quite filial, Master Ji. Your master really didn't hurt you in vain. ”
Hearing that this was the reason, Zhu Xishi immediately showed a smiling face, and hurriedly hooked up on his shoulder and praised him. Sheng Zijun pouted, turned his head a little embarrassedly, and thought about Zhu Xishi.
"You haven't given me a word yet, do you want to help or not?"
"Help, naturally help! The thing that Master Ji explained was to go to the soup and fight the fire, and I Zhu Xi was also willing to help to the end. ”
Seeing that Zhu Xi readily agreed, Sheng Zijun's mood immediately improved, and when he put Zhu Xi on his back without distinguishing between you and me, he shook happily.
"When you are happy, you are still the cutest at this time!"
"Cut, look at your little thief and thief."
Early the next morning, the two of them had breakfast and set off towards Lingyang Town, ten miles away; There was no shortage of fights and giggles along the way, and it could be seen that the mood of the two was as happy as the bright weather.
"By the way, Master Ji, you haven't said what your master's preferences are on weekdays? With eyebrows, we can learn from the gourd painting scoop. ”
When it came to serious things, Sheng Zijun also put away his playful appearance and seriously studied this issue.
"If you want to say what my master likes, I really can't say for a while."
"You see that you are an apprentice, you don't even know what the master usually likes, if I am your master's heart, I will be cold."
"You can't blame me for that!!" As soon as he heard Zhu Xishi's criticism of himself, Sheng Zijun suddenly showed his displeasure, and hurriedly retorted: "My master Baili Sheng, this person, has always been perverse and withdrawn. Whenever an outsider comes to the 'Golden Yan Valley' for medical treatment, all of them decide whether to save or not according to the Master's temper; if he encounters someone who has fallen in love, even if he doesn't take a penny, the Master will definitely do his best to save him, and if it is not in line with his old man's wishes, even if he kneels in front of him with a mountain of gold and silver, his old man will not move a finger. That's why the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname of 'ghost doctor' to his old man. ”
In this way, this "ghost doctor" Baili Sheng, who is like Hua Tuo in the world, is a little difficult to figure out. Zhu Xishi secretly pondered for a while, and then casually asked Sheng Zijun beside him.
"Your master has such a strange temper, so why did he take you as an apprentice in the first place?"
"Probably fate. When I was five years old, I contracted a strange illness, and my family searched for famous doctors in various places, but there was no improvement; When my life was in danger, my father sent me to Jinyan Valley to seek healing from Master with the mentality of giving it a try. At that time, the master looked at my illness and only said one word to my father, saying that if my father was willing to cut my love and keep me with Jin Yangu for ten years, he would heal me. My father knew that Master had a strange temperament, and in order to save my life, he had to agree to Master's request. In this way, I survived and became a close disciple of Master. ”
Speaking of these pasts, Sheng Zijun also had a general expression, if it weren't for the whim of the master, there would be no Sheng Zijun who is now infinitely beautiful and praised by everyone.
"Master Ji, is your master just an apprentice?"
"Yes, although Master looks extremely strange and difficult to understand in the eyes of outsiders, he is very good to me. Not only did he teach him all his skills, but he also took good care of me like a father during the ten years I lived in Jinyan Valley. ”
Although it is a silent sentence of the past years, it has a deep meaning in Zhu Xishi's ears, and he quickly started his brain, and Zhu Xishi immediately asked Sheng Zijun eagerly.
"Then has your master ever married?"
"Yes." Sheng Zijun recalled it slightly, and then replied affirmatively: "My master and wife have been gone for many years before I entered Jinyan Valley. Master is a very dedicated person, and I once learned in a drunken gaffe that Master had a son who died before he could grow up. My wife seems to have passed away early because she couldn't bear the pain of losing her son. I remember when I was a child, Master hugged me inexplicably, and called me 'Zhao'er, Zhao'er' with a sad expression. ”
"That's right! Master Ji, you are really a stupid wood who only knows how to practice medicine and help the world, and doesn't know why people are here. ”
When he saw Zhu Xi, who suddenly became enlightened, he was so ruthlessly ridiculed for his discord with the world, and replied unhappily: "I don't know why people are wrong, but you can talk about it." ”
Zhu Xishi didn't talk to Sheng Zijun much, and knocked a dose on his head and reminded him: "Silly wood is not enlightened, your master treats you as his own son to train, can't you see it?" ”
"You still need to say that. I've already understood something, so what? ”
"That's why you wooden fish, you only know one and don't know the other. Since your master raised you as his own son, then tell me, what do parents in the world want to see their children the most? ”
"See what?!"
Wooden fish, wooden fish, Zhu Xishi's words were handed to his mouth, Sheng Zijun still looked stupid and couldn't react, naturally Zhu Xi was angry from time to time.
"Stupid chicken, naturally you see your children getting married and starting a business, and your children and grandchildren are full! You're so stupid. ”
"Huh?!"
Sighing in a muffled voice, Sheng Zijun looked at Zhu Xi in a daze and didn't know what to say, but she continued to tease to the end.
"I see, don't bother looking for a gift. Hurry up and find a good girl to bring back to Jinyan Valley to celebrate your master's birthday together, I think there is no more suitable gift in the world than this big gift. ”
I don't know if this idea is too ransy, or Sheng Zijun's wooden fish head reacts too brightly at this time, and a person suddenly flashed in his mind, so frightened that he waved his hand again and again to veto.
"No, no, absolutely not! If you take her back, it's better to kill me now!! ”
She? Which she?! Zhu Xishi's pig nose smelled at once. (To be continued......)
