"Eun Gong, you don't really want to eat this, do you?"

Looking at the snails thrown to the shore like rain, Yu Wuya's face was twisted like a shoehorn.

"Hey, naturally!" Chen Xu nodded, looking at the water softly and Chen Jiang's expression was very bad, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, gentle, the snail in this water is really delicious, and this snail has a very beautiful legend......"

"There's a story to this shelled bug?" Not only was Yu Wuyan surprised, but Shui Qingrou and Chen Jiang's were also interested.

"Well, legend has it that a long time ago, in the land of Wuyue now, there was a poor young man named Xie Rui, his parents died when he was a child, and he grew up slowly by relying on the help of his neighbors, Xie Rui was kind-hearted and very hardworking, every day he was either farming or chopping firewood, and he returned to the lake to fish when he was slack, because he was the only one in the family, he was busy and tired every day, and no one cooked and washed for him, and he was often busy all day and night and couldn't even drink a mouthful of hot soup, so the neighbors persuaded him to marry a daughter-in-law, but Xie Rui refused, said that his family was poor, and marrying back would only make the girl suffer and suffer, so he was still busy going out early and returning late every day. ”

"One night there was a sudden storm and rain, and the weather improved early the next morning, Xie Rui according to his experience, generally after heavy rain, the fish and shrimp in the lake will be washed up on the shore of the tidal flats, so he took the fishing net to the lake to fish, but found a particularly huge snail on the quagmire by the lake, full of three liters in size......

Chen Xu gestured his hand, and Yu Wuya shook his head again and again: "Engong is talking nonsense, how can there be such a big snail?" ”

"Xu'er, my mother has never seen a snail as big as three liters, and the largest is only the size of a chestnut!" Chen Jiang also shook his head in disbelief.

And Shui softly's beautiful eyes flickered, and his face was a little excited: "Husband, how come I sound similar to the Legend of the White Snake, such a big snail, isn't it about to be cultivated?" ”

"Don't worry, listen to me!" Chen Xu smiled and continued, "Maybe because of the lack of water for a long time, the snail seems to be about to die, Xie Rui had pity, so he put the snail into the lake, and then went down to the lake to fish, but that day was very unlucky, and he didn't catch a fish for a long time, so Xie Rui was dejected and ready to go home, but at this time the lake had receded, and the snail was resting on the mudflat, Xie Rui originally wanted to put the snail into the water again and leave, but guessed that if the lake continued to recede, the snail would still fall on the mudflat and finally be killed by the sun." , so I simply brought this big field snail home......"

"Xie Rui didn't catch any fish, so he went home and stewed the snails and ate them to a full extent, it must be very delicious, right?" Yu Wuya felt like he had guessed the ending.

Shui Qingrou and Chen Jiang also had an almost agreeing expression, because what Chen Xu said today was eating snails, and this was the best guess.

Chen Xu looked at Yu Wuya speechlessly and said, "Don't interrupt, if you think like this, how can a man marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Yu Wuya's hand shook and the half-eaten crab fell to the ground, looked at Chen Xu in horror and stammered, "Xie Rui won't ...... I won't sleep with a snail, right...... That's too ...... That's what ......."

Shui Qingsoft's cheeks instantly turned bloody, and he pinched Yu Wuya with his hand and said angrily: "Senior brother, you ...... Can you please stop talking! ”

And Chen Xu is also full of black lines in his head, and he feels that Yu Wuya's brain hole is not something that can be described and described in ordinary language, and he is a snail every day...... Think about it...... It's exciting......

"Wuya, don't talk nonsense, Xu'er talk quickly!" Chen Jiang also looked a little embarrassed, so he had to urge Chen Xu to tell the story quickly.

"Okay, I'll move on!" Chen Xu sorted out his thoughts and continued, "Xie Rui went home and put the snails in the water tank, more than a month passed, one day Xie Rui was busy going home in the evening, and found that the house was neatly cleaned up, and there were hot and fragrant meals on the table, Xie Rui was very strange, so he went to the neighbors to ask, several aunts said that they did not help cook, although Xie Rui was puzzled, but he was tired and hungry, and soon ate all the food, and the next day, Xie Rui went out to work again, Busy until the evening home, there was a hot meal on the table, and his own rags were sewn and put on the bed, Xie Rui was even more confused and curious, and it was like this for the next few days, so one morning Xie Rui had breakfast and pretended to go out to work, and then secretly returned home and hid outside the door to see who was helping to clean up the house, and he saw a surprising thing, a very beautiful girl stood up from the water tank, and then began to clean up the house, sew clothes, and clean ......"

"Senior sister is right, it's really a snail essence!" Yu Wuya shouted excitedly.

While Chen Xu was telling the story, a few little maids and a group of guards and grooms next to him had already gathered, stretching their necks and opening their mouths wide to listen with relish.

So Xie Rui hurriedly pushed the door into the house, the girl was frightened and wanted to hide in the water tank, but Xie Rui stopped the water tank and asked the origin of the little girl, the girl had no choice, so she had to tell Xie Rui about her life experience, it turned out that the girl was a snail in the nearby lake, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon for many years, and finally cultivated into a human form after hundreds of years, but when the tragedy caused a violent wind and thunderstorm and was swept to the shore by the lake, and then rescued by Xie Rui, the girl in order to repay Xie Rui's life-saving grace, so after recovering from the injury, she helped him cook and wash clothes every day……”

Xie Rui was very moved after knowing it, and the girl decided to marry him in order to repay Xie Rui, so the two tied the knot, and they lived a happy life by the lake, and the shell of the snail girl is a magic weapon, which can grow a lot of grain every day, and the two of them will go to help the neighbors in the village, and everyone's life is getting better day by day!"

"That's it?" Yu Wuya was a little regretful, picked up the crab that fell to the ground and said while eating, "This Xie Rui is much better than Xu Xian's luck, and he directly married a snail essence, but Xu Xian still went through twists and turns, and in the end, Bai Suzhen was pressed under the Leifeng Pagoda by Fahai!" ”

"Yes, yes, this Xie Rui is lucky, so he married a young and beautiful fairy lady, envy!" A group of guards and grooms all looked envious, jealous, and hateful.

"Originally, there was a locust spirit who wanted to snatch the snail girl, but in the end Xie Rui and the villagers were killed with salt, the process is not important, the important thing is that this is a happy story!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Husband, it's idle today anyway, so you can finish talking about the locust essence!" Shui gently shook Chen Xu's arm, and begged with a rare little daughter on his face.

Chen Xu was shaken and his heart was about to melt, so he had to disguise the locust essence behind him as an old lady to beg for water to drink, and snatched the shell of the snail girl, the snail girl lost the magic weapon of hiding, and her body became weaker and weaker day by day, Xie Rui and the villagers united to drive a boat to the lake to fight the locust essence, the locust essence was very powerful, and used a spell to set off a huge wave to overturn the fishing boat, and the salt that the villagers hid in the fishing boat fell into the lake and turned the lake into salt water, and the grasshopper essence was killed by the salt water.

"After Engong tells this story, how do I feel that eating snails will be a little uncomfortable!" Yu Wuya smacked his lips.

"What should you do, after I finished talking about the legend of the white snake, I didn't see you when I ate snake meat! Okay, okay, after the story is finished, hurry up and disperse, the cool breeze is all over for me! Chen Xu pursed his lips and stood up and drove the maids and guards away.

"Dare to ask, but is it the Marquis of Qinghe?" Just after a group of people dispersed, several young students cautiously stood a few meters away from the shade of the tree and greeted them.

Chen Xu glanced at it, he didn't know him, but he still bowed his hand very politely and said, "Yes, it is Chen Xu, the Marquis of Qinghe!" ”

Several young students suddenly became excited, and they saluted together, and one of the older young people said excitedly: "I am a student of Weihe College, and I followed the teacher to the river to play today, and I saw Hou Ye playing in the water here, so I came to see you!" ”

"Weihe Academy, could it be that he is a disciple of Yuliang Gong?" Chen Xu asked curiously.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the family teacher is none other than Yuliang Gong!"

"Where's Yulianggong?" Chen Xu turned his head and looked around.

"The teacher is there!" Several students hurriedly turned around and pointed to a big willow tree at the head of the Weihe River bridge.

"Okay, I have heard for a long time that Yuliang Gong is a great sage in the world, Ben Hou has always wanted to visit, but he is busy with affairs, and he is free today, so he can just go and visit Yuliang Gong!" Chen Xu suddenly became happy, tidied up his clothes and hair, asked the maid to load a large plate of fried crabs and a large plate of grilled skewers, and moved a case of wine, and asked a few guards to follow a few students to visit An Yuliang.

An Yuliang was reading the newspaper under the tree, his expression was very leisurely, he heard the sound of talking and shouting, and when he turned around, he saw several students going and returning, and there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the middle, wearing a brocade robe, and his waist was wearing a jade pendant.

An Yuliang didn't dare to hold it up, so he put down the newspaper and stood up, tidied up his robe and stood up, and Chen Xu saw this sturdy old man with white hair, and walked up in a few steps and bowed his hand: "Xu greets Yulianggong!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the old man is clothed, and he dares to accept the gift of the Marquis of Qinghe!" An Yuliang also hurriedly gave up.

After the ceremony, Chen Xu waved his hand, and the few guards who came with him put the food and wine brought over under the shade of the tree, and then retreated to stand under the shade of the nearby tree to guard carefully.
