Chapter Eighty-Three: The Way of a Sage, For the sake of not fighting
It was night, Xu Youmian stayed in the county ya, and talked freely with Gu Yun, the two talked about poetry and painting, drunk and sang, and had a confidant in life, which was really unhappy.
At the beginning of the morning, Xu You woke up from his sleep, saw that his clothes were gone, and he changed into close-fitting clothes, I don't know what material it was, it was not silk or cotton, but it was extremely comfortable to wear. Looking to the side again, Gu Yun was sleeping with the quilt Zhengxiang, Xu You subconsciously wanted to kick over, but fortunately resisted the impulse in time.
He is not a very particular person, and when he was a child, he even slept soundly in the garbage heap, let alone squeezed together with others. But since he became an adult, he has really never shared a bed with his male compatriots, especially from this point of view, Gu Yun's eyebrows are picturesque, like a virgin, and his neck exposed outside the quilt is as white as jade, as if he will pounce on it if he looks at it more, which makes him feel very twisted.
The male style of Chu is too strong, and there are too many beautiful men to count, Xu Youzhen has no intention of bending himself, he turned his head, got out of bed lightly, and was looking for clothes everywhere, when a pretty maid walked in with a copper plate.
"Lang Jun, the servant Lianhua will serve you to wash."
This maid is fifteen or sixteen years old, her youth is just right, her figure is beautiful, and her courage is not small.
Xu You smiled slightly, but he didn't reveal it, and when he washed his hands and face, the maid handed over a few soaked and cleaned willow branches, and cut off the most tender part, three or five inches long, and there was a dish of salt next to the willow branch, which was three points whiter than snow.
This is a popular way to brush teeth, generally people will get up in the morning to bite the willow branches, revealing the fiber strips inside, and then chew many times to clean the teeth, there is an idiom called morning chewing tooth wood, which comes from this. Gu Yunmen was born in the gate, so naturally he would not just bite the willow branch so that he had no technical content, so the focus was on this dish of salt.
"Where is this salt, so jade and chilled?"
Lianhua said with a smile: "Yu Langjun, this is transported from the salt pond in Hedong, it is called clotted fat, and it is not often seen. β
"Clotted Fat...... Good name! Xu You dipped his hand a little, rubbed it gently, delicate and smooth, and said: "Hedong Salt Pond is in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the checkpoints are strict, and the road is far away. Your mansion uses Hedong salt as a clean mouth, and it is really rich in the world. β
Hedong salt has been famous for thousands of years, and even in later generations, it is also a famous salt-producing area. It is recorded in "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period: The Original Flavor": "The beauty of harmony, the ginger of Yangpu, the ostentatious cinnamon, the fungus of Yue Luo, the tuna, the salt of Daxia, the dew of slaughter, its color is like jade, and the egg of Changze." This means that the best seasonings are ginger from Yangpu in Sichuan, cinnamon from Zhaoyao Mountain in Guiyang, Hunan, bamboo shoots from Yueluoguo in Guangxi, sauce made from sturgeon fish, Hedong salt from Shanxi, nectar like jade in Zaijie Mountain, and caviar from Daze in the West. It can be seen from this that as far away as the Qin Dynasty, Hedong salt was already very famous.
Lianhua pursed her lips and smiled, her expression was not cold and arrogant, nor was she arrogant, and said: "The clotted fat salt is used by my Xiaolang to entertain distinguished guests, and it is rarely used in ordinary times." β
Xu You dipped the willow branch in salt and cleared his mouth, feeling that it was a little finer, but it was not comparable to toothpaste at all. He looked left and right, saw pen and ink on the table next to him, and said, "Do you know how to grind?" β
Lianhua nodded, gently rolled up her sleeves, and grinded it quickly. Xu You thought about it with a pen, and wrote: Pig tooth soaphorn and ginger, Western Cimicifuga Shu Rehmannia; The early lotus locust slot, the fine pungent lotus leaf should be quite. The green salt is divided into equal parts and calcined, and the grinding will be better in the future; Rubbing his teeth and black temples, who knows that there are immortals in the world. Then he said to Lianhua: "This is the 'mouth and teeth' formula, wait for your Xiaolang to wake up and give it to him to see, and then make it into tooth powder after boiling according to this recipe, which has the magic effect of clearing fire and cleaning teeth and black hair." β
Lianhua didn't understand these Chinese herbal medicines, but she was able to be selected by Gu Yun as a personal maid, and her knowledge was much stronger than that of ordinary scholars.
"Huh? Lianhua? β
Lianhua suddenly sobered up, noticed the gaffe, her cheeks were slightly red, and said, "I know, when Xiaolang wakes up, I'll show it to him." β
Xu You looked at Gu Yun again, wondering if he had any sweet dreams, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The terrible thing is that in this smile, there is a little more beauty of a woman!
Xu You was smart, turned around and went out.
As soon as he got out of the hospital, he saw Zuo Yan, he greeted him, and said, "Lang Jun slept well?" β
Xu You smiled: "I can't drink enough, I don't know the sun and the moon when I'm drunk, is it good or not?" β
Zuo Yan also smiled and said in a low voice: "You drank half a bucket of wine with Gu Langjun last night, I watched Gu Langjun's steps are frivolous, his eyes are blurred, and he is indeed not lightly drunk." But Lang Jun, your eyes are clear, your steps are brisk, you must be pretending to be drunk......"
Now that I have been messing around with Xu You for a long time, I know that he is informal, so Zuo Yan also dares to make some jokes about him from time to time. Xu You pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "Just how much you care!" I have a relationship with Gu Yun, you get along, where do you need to pretend to be drunk to get closer? β
Zuo Yan was right, he really wasn't really drunk last night. As a fox handsome in his previous life, he socialized too much in the financial world, and he had already practiced a pair of wine guts, not to mention a large amount, but he could still drink three or two catties of liquor. Although this body is a little weak now, he was also a good drinker before he was injured, and with Gu Yun's amount of alcohol, he only hit a stone with an egg.
But in order to plan the layout for Zhan Wenjun for a few days, he stayed up until the early hours of the morning almost every day, and once he relaxed, it was easy to get tired. In the end, I was sleepy, but I really fell asleep, and I didn't even know that I was changed.
The two of them went out of the county office and were about to leave the city, but they saw a figure in the corner beckoning to this side, and then flashed by. Xu You looked left and right, and followed with Zuo Yan.
After walking for half an hour, standing on the side of a hill, Xu You walked behind the man and said with a smile: "Brother Dao was not ordered to go back to Zhouzhi, why did he come to Qiantang again?" β
The man turned around, and it was Li Yifeng, the ghost hunter, who was dusty and tired, the bloodshot in his eyes was clearly visible, and the whole person was languishing as if he was dying.
Xu You was taken aback, stepped forward, and said, "Brother Dao, why do you look like this, is there something wrong?" β
Li Yifeng shook his head, his voice hoarse, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm in a hurry...... cough ......" He coughed a few times, handed Xu You a sachet, and said: "Here are three deposit pills, which are the pills I asked for when I went back to Heming Mountain to find my master, if you feel extremely unwell, take one, you can keep you safe for a while!" β
Heming Mountain is about 800 miles away from here, and in just seven or eight days, I can't imagine how Li Yifeng did it, no wonder he is so haggard.
Xu You was grateful, stretched out his hand to take the bag, three gold pills, as if there was a weight of 10,000 catties, and he said after a long time: "Brother Dao, I ...... it"
Li Yifeng waved his hand and frowned: "Between you and me, you don't have to be a child!" Since you don't want to go to the master to seek medical treatment, I can only ask for these three pills for you. However, Weizhi, the master asked me to take you with a word......"
Xu You said solemnly: "Listen to the teachings of the Great Sacrifice Wine!" β
"The master said that the way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful; The way of the saint is indisputable. Li Yifeng's eyes flashed with gloom, and he said, "This is what I said when I asked Shizun if there is a cure for your illness." Weizhi, you are very smart, and you naturally know the deep meaning of the master's words. I persuade you again for my brother, can you really not let go of the many entanglements in this world? β
Xu You is familiar with Buddhist and Taoist classics, how can he not know this sentence from the "Tao Te Ching"? Li Changfeng obviously persuaded him not to fight for fame and fortune again, and let go of thoughts such as revenge, and then he could cure the dark diseases on his body, otherwise, his life would be soon!
"I ......"
Xu You was a little dazed for a while, he didn't believe Li Changfeng's words, but these days, except for the feeling that life is worse than death when running the White Tiger Strength, he is usually no different from ordinary people, without a trace of symptoms, and the last time he was on the boat, he was able to hold on to it without being hurt, but it seemed that he had improved his ability to resist attacks.
Moreover, he was carrying too many things, how could he really run to Heming Mountain, take refuge under Li Changfeng's seat, and survive for the rest of his life?
In the final analysis, this life is picked up, if the sky is not fake, it will be up to him to take it back!
"Brother Dao, it's the same reason I told you last time, if you stay, you may die. But it's a long way to go to Heming Mountain, and I'm afraid I'm going to die, and it's going to bring great trouble to the big sacrificial wine......"
Li Yifeng said categorically: "Don't worry, even if I don't want to fight for my life, I will let you arrive at Heming Mountain safely." As for Shizun, he never oppresses people with power, but he is never afraid of trouble! β
Xu You clasped his hands together, interlocked his thumbs, bowed for a long time, and said: "Brother Dao's love, I remember it in my heart, but a person's life and death are really insignificant, as long as you can achieve your wish before you die, Xu You, you are willing to die!" β
These words are not hurried, not light, not heavy, as if they were casually said during small talk, but in Li Yifeng's ears, he knew that Xu You had made up his mind to die.
"Well...... Your family feud is not over, the fate is not over, how can you let go of your obsession......" Li Yifeng stared at Xu You for a long time, stretched out his hand to help him get up, and sighed: "I also knew that you would be like this, so I can only ask for a deposit pill to help you survive the three crises." If after three times, you are still entangled in the world, and you will die and die at that time, don't regret it! After finishing speaking, he didn't stay longer, bowed his hand, and his sleeves flew away, and he suddenly went away.
Xu You took a long look again, but he also knew in his heart that this kindness was too much, and he didn't know if there would be a chance to pay it back in the future.
After returning to Mingyu Mountain, when he saw He Wei, Xu You recounted the situation of meeting Gu Yun. He Weiqi said: "You also know about the law of theft? β
Xu You said helplessly: "That's not the point...... You just need to know that Gu Yun promised to push the assassination of Shifu's writing......"
"No, no, with your friendship with Gu Yun, it's not surprising that he agreed to this little thing. I'm interested in why you know so much about the law of theft? β
Xu You couldn't help him, rolled his eyes, and said, "I know a fart...... Didn't you listen to the argument between Li Dingzhi and Du Sanxing? It is only because the matter of buying and selling beloveds is really a great crime, that I used the power of Gu Yun to let the court pass this proposal and make a law for eternity......"
Although He Wei has been a monk for more than ten years, he does not have a compassionate and benevolent heart, so he just smiled at Xu You's move. But the autumn equinox and frost were born from humble backgrounds, and they can better understand the pain and cruelty in the plundering of their beloved, so they couldn't help it for a while, and at the same time they couldn't cry.
Xu You was relieved: "Don't cry......"
Falling down, tears rolled to the ground, instantly wet, and said: "Xiaolang, I am not crying for myself, but crying for all the lovers in the world who have fallen into lowly status." Since ancient times, saints, sages, gentlemen, and celebrities have not known how many mortals, but no one is willing to think of us and other ants who steal life, Xiaolang, I ......"
At this time, Zhan Wenjun pushed the door in with Wan Qin, saw the situation in the room, and wondered: "What's wrong with the frost?" β
Xu You hurriedly got up and said, "A little thing, let Mrs. laugh." β
"This is not a trivial matter...... He Wei has the intention to make a name for Xu You, and explained the reason in detail. Zhan Wenjun's beautiful eyes rippled, staring at Xu You word by word and said: "This is by no means a trivial matter, if the imperial court can pass this proposal, Lang Jun's good deeds can be passed down through the ages!" β
Xu You had a headache, he didn't expect that from the autumn equinox to Zhan Wenjun, the girls' reaction would be so big? Could it be that water can't do it?
