Chapter 21: First Sight of Yunwen
There were piles of popcorn with white flowers scattered in front of him, and a few sparrows who took advantage of the fire to rob them panicked and picked up the popcorn one after another, and sent it to their stomachs.
Their little paws flickered back and forth, following their eyes for where the popcorn was piled up. They were afraid that they would rob less, and they were afraid that Zhu Yunwen would drive them away, and they were also afraid that more of their kind would find out about this big bargain.
Zhu Yunwen didn't cry all the time, he often wiped the tears hanging on his eyelashes, looked at the movements of the sparrows, saw that they were eating happily, and shed tears sadly. The stone entered the threshold of Yaoyue Palace and almost kicked Zhu Yunwen by the door.
"Boy, what are you doing? Sitting here in the way! Stone said politely that he hated crying children, even though his childhood was unusually crying.
"Brother, I can't figure it out!" Zhu Yunwen stood up and stood in front of Shi and Yongmenguang, with a hint of distress in his eyes.
"Can't figure it out? Are you a big kid learning from an adult? Where are you? Let's go back! Yaoyue Palace is not a place for a child of your age! Shi was anxious to find Concubine Shu, poked his head into the house, and shouted loudly, "Shu Niangniang! Forgive me! ”
"Niangniang is not here, or she can figure it out." Zhu Yunwen said.
"Do you know Concubine Shu?" Stone asked. Zhu Yunwen nodded.
"It's strange, you know Concubine Shu, and I know Concubine Shu, but why don't I know you, and you don't know me, right?" The stone scratched his head.
"It's not strange, let's say you have a puppy at home, and he knows you, and he knows a wild dog outside, but you don't know the wild dog."
"What?" The stone raised his right arm and was about to beat Zhu Yunwen: "You said that Shu Niangniang is a puppy?" The stone widened his eyes angrily, slandering Concubine Shu was worse than hurting him.
"It's an analogy! My brother's eyes are like torches, strong as an ox, wise as foolishness, and a bright future, just like these, they are all analogies! ”
"You know a lot, and you have a good eye!" Shi Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, squatted down, and planned to give back a little praise from Zhu Yunwen, "Tell me, if you can't figure it out, brother will help you." ”
"Look," Zhu Yunwen pointed to the sparrows grabbing on the popcorn, "they're eating my popcorn!" ”
"Then you get rid of them!" Shi picked up Zhu Yunwen's collar and put him aside, ready to show off his skills.
"No! Dad said, a gentleman is benevolent and courteous! Zhu Yunwen held his small waist and held his head high, like a rooster preparing for a duel.
"You ......," Shi Qi said angrily, "then why are you crying?" What's not to figure out? ”
"But I gave these popcorn to Concubine Shu." Zhu Yunwen looked at the sunlight, the surface of the popcorn was crystal clear, but they were trampled by the dirty paws of sparrows, and their ugly beaks were in their mouths. In an instant, he was like a deflated ball again, and all his heroism fled.
Shi laughed: "Did your father teach you that 'rotten wood should not be carved, and the wall of dung should not be enclosed'?" ”
"Hmph, I know this, you're scolding me! I am not rotten wood, nor am I a wall of dung! Have you ever thought about me? I told Concubine Shu yesterday to give her a thing I made with my own hands today, but now I can't deliver it, this is called unbelievable! I can't get rid of the sparrows, maybe they've been hungry for a long time and eat this bit of popcorn to keep flying where they want to go. It's called being kind to others! Zhu Yunwen was full of words.
The stone's mouth is wide open enough to stuff all the popcorn on the ground. The moment his handsome face was still, his mind was racing.
He can be disgraced, but he can't be disgraced in front of a five-year-old. At this time, he regretted a little, and for the first time in his life, he learned that reading would indeed have a little benefit.
"Good knows its evil, evil knows its beauty!" The stone grinned, and his eyebrows fluttered.
He remembered what his father said to his mother: "Good knows its evil, evil knows its beauty, don't spoil him blindly!" ”
The mosquito-like call that once annoyed him turned into a moving string, knocking on the door of his closed heart and winning back his proud self-esteem.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yunwen stared at the stone, and the desire to learn was circulating in his moist eyes.
"Don't spoil sparrows......" Stone didn't know how to continue, he only heard these two words.
A figure silently floated into the threshold and rescued the stone that was difficult to ride a tiger.
"Bing'er, your mother is looking for you!" Concubine Shu smiled lovely, holding a delicate embroidery pattern in her hand, "Concubine Shu didn't lie to you, look, this is what your mother gave me." Hehe, she is skillful, let me draw the gourd and embroider it in the same way. ”
"Concubine Niangniang, I, I ......" Zhu Yunwen pointed to the popcorn on the ground and ran out of the threshold, "I'll send popcorn to Niangniang another day!" ”
When the palace maids saw Concubine Shu coming back, they all greeted her.
"Clean the floor!" Concubine Shu said as she looked at Yongmen Guang, "Stone, your friend?" ”
"Forgive Niangniang, he's here to find you, and don't sweep away that popcorn. The boy had left it for the sparrows. ”
"Leave it for the sparrows? He is really a bodhisattva. Hey, don't sweep it, wait until the sparrows stop eating and fly away! ”
"In the lower Shennong Palace, Yongmen Guang, please say hello to the mother! Congratulations to the mother, all the blessings! Yongmen Guang knelt on the ground and bowed, not daring to raise his head for a long time.
The smile on Concubine Shu's face froze, the embroidery in her hand shook heavily, and a sense of impending danger crept up her brow, but it was quickly dispelled by the tenacity that overcame everything.
"Come in!" Concubine Shu was as calm as water, turned around and walked into the house, her eyes flashing with a mysterious brilliance.
Yongmen Guang raised his head, slowly got up, and followed Concubine Shu into the house with the stone.
"Master asked the disciple to give this letter to Concubine Shu." After Concubine Shu sat down, he respectfully handed over Nong Qingyun's handwritten letter.
Concubine Shu put down the embroidery pattern in her hand, and before receiving Nong Qingyun's handwritten letter, tens of thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind.
Nong Qingyun's letter was not long. After a brief greeting, he briefly recounted the arrival of the Shennong Treasure Pearl on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of this month, and asked Concubine Shu if she wanted to bring the matter to the emperor.
Concubine Shu's serene expression did not change at all, although she knew what the Shennong Orb was and what it meant to have the Shennong Orb to Shennong Palace.
"Stone, can you go out for a while? The disciples of Shennong Palace and I have to deal with some important tasks in the palace. She spoke to the stone in the same tone as she had ever spoken.
"Forgive Niangniang, I won't say anything, I promise!" Shi wanted to stay and watch the fun, after all, this guest from the mysterious Shennong Palace was led by him.
"Stone, don't make a fuss! Each gang has its own rules, and the affairs of Shennong Palace are not allowed to be known by outsiders! You must not tell anyone, you brought a disciple of Shennong Palace to me, and I am a person from Shennong Palace, and I can't tell anyone, otherwise I will be executed by the emperor immediately! Concubine Shu's expression suddenly became serious, and she didn't allow the stone to make another joke.
Shi pouted and left, his heart itching even more unbearable, thinking that the affairs of the gang that could not be passed on must be interesting, and he planned to talk from Yongmen's mouth, after all, he was a hero to him.
"Did your master say what to do with the Shennong Orb?" Yongmen Guang couldn't believe that Concubine Shu actually let herself stay alone in the house with her, and even the stone, who had a great friendship with Concubine Shu, became an outsider. He was more confident, and he worked hard towards a higher goal.
"Master didn't say anything about what to do with the Shennong Orb," he wanted to dedicate everything he knew to Concubine Shu word for word, "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we were drinking tea and admiring the moon in the martial arts training ground, and suddenly the Orb rose in the clouds, and all the disciples looked stupid, thinking that it was an immortal descending to earth. The bright moon eclipsed after the orb appeared, and then the orb suddenly disappeared and appeared on the table of the master's table. The master was very pleased, and he took the jewel away and went into the study. It wasn't until the next day that I called the senior brother and the second senior brother to the study with me. He said that this matter was related to Shennong's treasure pearl, and asked us to go to Beijing immediately to find Niangniang, and handed us a letter. The senior brother asked the master if he wanted to bring the Shennong Orb, and the master said that the Shennong Orb could only be left in the Shennong Palace. ”
Yongmen Guang did not mention that the two senior brothers were half-dead and in urgent need of medical treatment, and he believed that this had nothing to do with the Shennong Baozhu and the mission he carried.
"The Shennong Orb can only stay in Shennong Palace, huh." Concubine Shu repeated Yongmen Guang's words. She knew that Nong Qingyun was cautious, everyone was on guard, and no one believed her, including her, "Okay, I'll write a reply, you can bring it to your master!" ”
Concubine Shu walked over to the bookcase and wrote an equally short letter as quickly as if she had been brewing for a long time, waiting for this moment to be written.
Yongmen Guang carefully stuffed the letter given to him by Concubine Shu into his bosom, and went out happily with the upcoming honor.
Stone is playing a game of shuttlecock kicking with the palace maids, and he will never be idle and let himself get bored. Seeing Yongmenguang, he no longer had the intention of kicking the shuttlecock, kicked the shuttlecock out of the distance, turned around and ran towards Yongmenguang.
"Okay? Are you done whispering to Shu Niangniang? He made no secret of his jealousy.
Yongmen Guang was so engrossed in the heavy responsibility on his shoulders that he forbade to go out of the door, forgetting that the stone was still waiting for him.
"Oh, yes, oh, no, no, what's the whisper, I'm just doing what Master gave me." He turned around and stopped at the threshold.
"Yongmen Guang, are you leaving?"
"Hmm. Hero, there will be a period later. ”
"What about your two senior brothers? Did you talk to Concubine Shu? Will she be able to save them? ”
"Ahh I...... Forgot. ”
"What? Yongmen Guang, are you going to let them die in the inn? The stone angrily pointed at the bridge of Yongmenguang's nose, and found that he had been deceived by the people in the rivers and lakes who flaunted the same appearance and the same words and letters, and the young ambition had added scars to the withering of yesterday's yellow flowers.
