Chapter Forty-Eight: The Steaming Daoist
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Steaming Daoist
(2nd Update)
Yu Shu returned to the courtyard, and before he returned to the house, he went to talk to Aunt Liu.
"Your mother" Aunt Liu recalled, got up to close the door, and pulled Yu Shu with emotion:
"Miss is older now, this shouldn't have been what Aunt Liu told you, but Aunt Liu won't tell you if she wants to, since you ask, Aunt Liu will tell you, you also have a long memory, so don't take a detour in the future."
Yu Shu nodded violently, took off his shoes and took the initiative to sit on the bed, ready to listen to the story, and when Aunt Liu finished speaking, she muttered a sentence of dog blood in her heart, and began to summarize:
Things are probably like this - it turns out that Aunt Cui is a maid of a large family, and Yu's father is a poor scholar, because of the good relationship with the owner of the family, once it rains, he got along with Aunt Cui, under one roof, several times, gave a small poem, sent a handkerchief, bead tire secret knot, pregnant with Yu Shu. Discovered by the master's family, out of the house, Aunt Cui cried and cried to find Yu's father, and returned to his hometown with him, Yu's father's house also has a few thin fields, a small courtyard, a servant, but the old father died of illness, the family has nowhere to rely on, last year's township test and has not passed, idle at home, a few years down, gradually idle, drunk all day long, drank too much at a time, fell into the river and never climbed up, since then, Aunt Cui has become a widow.
"Aunt is also a poor person," Aunt Liu patted Yu Shu's hand and said, "She treats you badly, she really has a grudge against Master Yu, after all, a woman's life is so wrong, she originally stayed in that family, and she may not be able to make an innocent family and have a smooth life." Miss listen, with a long heart, this man's words should not be easily believed, and the selection of people should be good, so as not to be deceived by others, and in the end it will be too late to regret it. β
Yu Shu nodded frequently, indicating that she understood, but she didn't think so, she wanted to find a man, she didn't think about love first, it didn't matter if she had three wives and four concubines, first of all, she couldn't be a soft egg.
"Then, mother, how did she fall in love with the third master?"
Aunt Liu didn't seem to want to say this question, but she couldn't bear Yu Shu's coquettish questioning, so she still said it awkwardly:
"The third old man is amorous by nature, once riding a horse under our house, he was hit on the head by his aunt with a pole supporting the window, so he invited him to drink tea to make amends, and then he got better."
Wow, isn't this the first intimate contact between Ximenqing and Pan Jinlian
Yu Shu's brain was congested, and suddenly the pressure increased sharply, and he listened to Aunt Liu's chatter in a daze:
"Miss, although I am not as strict with women as the previous dynasty, but women should be observant, aunt this is not good, you have to guard your reputation, you are also fifteen this year, it is time to discuss marriage, more behaved, keep a distance from men, and ask the slave to say, although the Sanjue study house is a place to learn, but it is not appropriate for men and women to sit together after all"
Yu Shu returned to the house top-heavy, lying on the bed without taking off her shoes, Yu Xiaoxiu sat upright at the table to make up her homework, and when she saw that she was going to die, she put down her pen and said:
"What's wrong with you? What did Aunt Liu tell you? β
Yu Shu waved his hand at him, and said weakly: "It's okay, write yours." β
She needs time to digest it, her father is a soft egg who drank and drowned, her mother is Pan Jinlian, her stepfather is Ximen Qingba, and even "she" herself was originally a two hundred and five.
"Sister, sister?" Yu Xiaoxiu didn't worry about Yu Shu, so he put down his pen and walked over, but Yu Shu grabbed his hand and looked at the well-behaved and sensible Yu Xiaoxiu with a complicated expression:
"Little brother, it's not easy for you."
It's not easy for this family of bamboo shoots to grow straight bamboo
"What are you talking about, are you tired, hurry up and get some sleep, I'll call you for dinner at night," Yu Xiaoxiu pushed her, afraid that she was talking nonsense from a cold last night, and when she came back from the suburbs in the afternoon, Aunt Liu boiled two large bowls of ginger soup to drink, and the big kitchen cooked pig's feet, and now her stomach is still supporting.
"It's a little sleepy, don't you study, let's sleep for a while, didn't the third master say that let's rest at home for two days," Yu Shu lay down inside, and dragged Yu Xiaoxiu up, "Come here, let's squeeze it, my heart is empty, and I can't sleep alone." β
Yu Xiaoxiu hesitated, but seeing Yu Shu's kind face, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he took off his shoes and lay down, Yu Shu covered the quilt, the two of them lay side by side, Yu Xiaoxiu was uncomfortable at first, stiffened and half-stretched, and after a while, he warmed up, and gradually became sleepy, and listened to Yu Shu in a daze before falling asleep:
"Xiao Xiu, I forgot, I didn't go to work in the afternoon, what should I do."
"Well, your shopkeeper, isn't it very easy to talk, shouldn't you be angry?"
"Who said this, I thought, I took one less day's wages."
Wealth fan, Yu Xiaoxiu muttered, didn't make a sound, and leaned his head slightly on Yu Shu's shoulder.
"But I didn't go for no reason, the shopkeeper must be worried, alas, how to explain it to him tomorrow?"
There was a snoring sound next to him, but Yu Shu couldn't sleep with a pair of big eyes.
One of the benefits of coming out to save Xue Wenzhe's kid, the cleaning of Jing Shutang didn't have to go for the past two days, the third master opened his mouth and pleaded in front of the old lady, so that Yu Shu would rest for a few days and then go to work.
Originally, Yu Xiaoxiu could also rest at home for two days without going to school, but Yu Xiaodi insisted on going to private school the next day, Yu Shu didn't stop him, he just went if he wanted, he didn't break his hands and feet, and the boy was too squeamish.
Yu Shu also didn't sleep lazy, she took all the assets in the morning, pretended to be a kid and followed Yu Xiaoxiu out of the door, rented a simple carriage on Changmenpu Street, and went to the suburbs to get the sword.
Successfully retrieved the sword, Yu Shu also got off at Changmenpu Street, and returned to the courtyard from the back door, Aunt Liu and they went to work in the big kitchen, and the yard was empty, just convenient for her to hide things.
Under the sun, Yu Shu was holding a spoon to dig a pit under the earthen wall, a narrow pit two feet long, shallow just enough to embed the sword, because there was no scabbard, before burying it, Yu Shu took the cloth strips torn from the bed sheet and carefully wrapped it around the sword, I didn't look carefully that night, there was a thin layer of green rust on the sword, and the hilt was not very smooth, and there were gaps, and the maintenance was not good, it looked like something that was old, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about it and risked smuggling.
buried the sword and covered it with soil until there was no trace, and Yu Shu's waist was numb.
"Are you hiding?"
"Hideβ" She looked up sharply, and saw the old Taoist priest squatting on the high wall at some point, sitting on the ground, stretching out his hand to point at him, and stammering:
"Y-Why are you here?"
The old Taoist priest said as a matter of course: "You haven't come to work for the past two days, and the old Taoist came to see you." β
Yu Shu rolled his eyes, why did this old man have a face for a while, didn't he make his words clear that day, and what did he do again.
"Dao Chief, don't waste your mind on me," Yu Shu clapped his hands and stood up, raised his head and said: "I know that you are a master, and you have the heart to dial me, but I don't have that blessing, I think you should find someone else, right?" β
Hurry up, go away she can dig out the sword, and move another place, alas, it's really annoying, and she worked in vain for a long time.
Before the old Taoist priest could explain his intentions, she bluntly rejected again, guessing his purpose, but he still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, his face was strange at first, and then he sighed, and said awkwardly:
"The day before yesterday, Lao Dao spoke a little bigger, and your children don't worry about me, just think that I rely on the old and sell the old."
Yu Shuhu looked at him suspiciously, "Are you paying compensation to me?" β
The old Taoist priest's face turned red, and he was almost angry again: What's wrong with the compensation, don't you say it directly, okay to save some face for the old man?
He scolded in his heart, but he held back his anger, "Even if it's it." β
Yu Shule looked at him deflated, and teased, "Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean?" β
The old Taoist priest gritted his teeth, "That's it." β
"Ha Lu Ha," Yu Shuwan'er breathed out in his heart, and looked at this old man a lot more pleasing to the eye, and said with one hand on his waist: "Don't be upset, Dao Chief, what do you want to teach, I will learn, but let's say it's okay, I'll kowtow after teaching it, otherwise don't think about taking advantage of me in vain." β
Originally, this old man had already talked to her, how could she push the good things that came to her door.
The old Taoist priest was surprised: "Are you willing to kowtow to the old Tao?" β
Didn't she die or die that day? How can he change as if he was a different person in a blink of an eye, so easy to speak.
Yu Shu asked rhetorically:
"Why don't you knock it? As long as you teach me sincerely, I will respect you, and kowtow to you a few times, but if you take me, you will make do, and look down on me inside and out, even if you want to teach me fairy magic, don't think that I will receive your affection, in other words, whether to teach or not is your business, whether to learn or not is my business, you say that I am right? β
The old Taoist priest squatted on the wall and tilted his head, listening to her explanation, he felt that he had just compensated her, it was a matter of course, there was nothing to be ashamed of, the day before yesterday he put up a shelf to force others, and he didn't look at whether people were willing or not, it was indeed inappropriate.
I didn't expect that when I was old, I didn't have a little girl to think about it smoothly, and his old bones have been idle for too long.
As soon as the words were spoken, the old Taoist priest looked at Yu Shu again, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he looked, the little girl, it doesn't matter if she has no qualifications or spirituality, it is rare to have backbone, assertiveness, and character, and she is really as useless as those sycophants, and if she is fake, he can't look down on her.
That's fine, lest people be too stupid in the future
Yu Shu got goosebumps when he stared at him, and called: "Dao Chief? Dao Chief? β
"The old Taoist name is Qingzheng, the master is withering, so I won't mention it to you, now I recognize you as an anonymous disciple, pass on your skills, and don't raise too many vulgar courtesies, in the future, you only pretend to be unfamiliar with me in front of people, and after people, call me Master." Qing Zheng Daoist rubbed his beard and said.
Steaming people? Yu Shu pursed his lips and snickered, stretched out his hand to the wall and saluted: "Yes, Master Steaming." β
Qingzheng Daoist didn't know that Yu Shu was stealing fun with his Dao number, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's inconvenient during the day, come to Jingshutang after dark to find me, and I'll talk to you in detail when you arrive." β
"Yes, Master, go slowly." Yu Shu beckoned, watched the old man jump off the wall and left, the smile on his face was gone, squatted down and took a spoonful to dig the soil, and after a long time, he snorted.
This old Taoist priest is weird, hidden in the Ji family I don't know what Lu Dao wants to do, she has to be careful with each other, it is best to learn his things, and be careful not to be used by him,
Yu Shu dug the sword out again, buried it in a different place, went to put Yu Xiaoxiu's quilt in, and while folding the bed, he was thinking about finding a time tomorrow, going out to find the Jingchen hero, and contacting the feelings.
To be honest, compared to Qingzheng Daoren, she still thinks that the young Taoist who is majestic and upright is more reliable.
