Chapter 15: The White Fox
Zhao Ming plus Su Bai, as well as Niu Huanxi who wanted to go home to see by the way, Zhao Ming's royal servant Zhao Ye, and finally Zhao Yue'er who changed into men's clothes, it can't be said that he has changed into men's clothes, it is a very ordinary college student uniform, and he is usually dressed like this, Zhao Ye drove the carriage, and the five of them went to 'Yunkelai'. Speaking of which, this is the first time in Su Bai's two lives to make this kind of carriage with a shed, which is a luxury car in the Tang Dynasty, not a rich man, but a local tyrant.
Su Bai couldn't tell what kind of wood the carriage was, but the layer of leather laid inside was definitely rabbit skin, extremely soft, and there were two small windows of about twenty centimeters on both sides, which was very similar to the carriage that Su Bai saw in "Huanzhu Gege"... Although it was a horse-drawn carriage, it was not as fast as a walk, and there were so many people on the streets, it seemed that no matter what dynasty it was, there was no shortage of people in the capital.
The poetry meeting is set at the end of the day, it is just noon, the time is absolutely in time, Su Bai has been opening the small window, looking at the outside buildings through the window, coming here for so long, Su Bai still feels that it is simply a miracle, beautiful, atmospheric, Su Bai is a little unbelievable, how these buildings were built in the Tang Dynasty. When they arrived at Yunkelai, the group got off the carriage, Zhao Ye drove the carriage to the horse shed and tied it up, and waited on the side, Su Bai and the four of them walked into Yunkelai.
Xiao Er at the door was pleasantly surprised when he saw Niu Huanxi: "The young master is back, the young master is back", the diners in the lobby on the first floor looked at it curiously, and continued to bow their heads to eat after finding that they didn't know each other, because it was a meal, and there were many people who came to eat. The shopkeeper heard the voice, and hurriedly walked out of the account room, five meters away, and the laughter came: "Yo, Mr. Zhao, come so early, the second floor is cleared today, and at your request, it is specially reserved for you." Young master, the owner went out for a walk, I'm afraid I'll be able to come back later."
The shopkeeper is a fat man, it can be said that he is the second fat man Su Bai has seen since he came to the Tang Dynasty, he is just thinner than Wang Fugui, and his voice is very good, revealing such enthusiasm. Niu Huanxi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, the dean and I haven't eaten at noon, let's eat first with eight cold and eight hot." The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and instructed Xiao Er, who ran the hall, to inform the kitchen to prepare, and led a few people to the second floor again.
Yunkelai is a wooden structure building, with three floors, the first floor is the lobby, entertaining some ordinary people, the second floor is Zhao Ming, a famous scholar, and the third floor is reserved to entertain dignitaries, although no big officials have come to eat, they also have to stay. Today I didn't come here to eat, and at the end of the day, the literati would come to the second floor one after another, and when the time came, they would be drinking tea while chanting poems, if they were eating at the wine table, wouldn't the artistic conception be gone? Anyway, this kind of charter is not a no-money, so why not do it.
The food came up quickly, chicken, duck and fish were available, and the taste was not much different from that in "Mingde College", and the cooks of the Tang Dynasty were now almost stewed, boiled, and roasted. As for stir-frying, there are only two hotels that have it, and they are covered tightly for fear that people will steal from them, which is also a means for Su Bai to make money in the future. Although the taste is not comparable to the current food, if it is compared with the Tang Dynasty cuisine, it is still very good, Su Bai turned into a little hamster again, and the two cheeks were full of food, and the funny Zhao Yue'er giggled, Niu Huanxi rolled his eyes, and he had never seen the world.
Zhao Ming was also a little speechless, thanks to the fact that there are no outsiders now, otherwise it would be a shame to let others know about his disciple's appearance. Su Bai doesn't care what they think, you miss you, I eat mine, whoever is hungry knows! A table of dishes, most of which went into Su Bai's stomach, and after learning straight boxing that day, Su Bai found that he had an extra special function!
It's that thieves can eat, and now he feels that he doesn't have the word full in his dictionary, and the strange thing is that he is not very hungry, in a word, others rest when they are full, I don't! I can still take two bites!
Zhao Ming is no longer surprised, before it was enough to cook meals for two people and send them to the study, but now they usually cook five servings, and Su Bai eats four servings by himself. The cow who saw Su Bai eating for the first time was overjoyed and shocked, and his jaw was about to fall off, and when he saw Su Bai eating with steamed buns and vegetable soup, he asked Xiao Er to go to the kitchen to make a few more, and his classmates came to his house to eat, so he couldn't be full!
Su Bai hurriedly waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, he was full, and the shopkeeper heard that Su Bai had eaten half of the dishes, so he quickly asked the kitchen to cook some hawthorn soup, afraid that Su Bai would not digest it, Su Bai ate very refreshingly, even if he could still eat it, he didn't eat it, how bad it was to scare others. The rest of the time is almost just waiting, waiting for the people from the famous house and "Changchun College" to come.
Su Bai is a person who can't stay, and Niu Huanxi is the same, a strong ink Su Bai, let Su Bai tell him a new story, yes, a new story, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was completed last night! Finish, hahaha, I like this word. Su Bai thought about it, this story can only tell a short story, and the long story has to be kept back to the academy to make money... No, it's to bring happiness to everyone!
After thinking about it, he said: "Then I'll tell you a short story", as soon as he heard that Su Bai was going to tell a story, even Zhao Yue'er, who had been at odds with him, quieted down and listened attentively, Su Bai coughed lightly, and said in a low voice...
It is said that I don't know how many years ago, there was a scholar in a certain place, the scholar's family was poor and destitute, his parents died early, and he usually only lived by writing letters to others, and there was no food for the night in the house except for books.
In front of the scholar's house is a bamboo forest, the scholar will sit in the bamboo forest every day to read, it is said that the scholar was reading the sage book that day, a 'squeak' sound sounded, the scholar looked up, found that it was a snow-white fox, ran to his legs, strange, the fox was not afraid of him at all, and his mouth made a burst of pleading like a cry.
The scholar looked soft, picked up the fox and looked, it turned out that it was an arrow on its hind legs, the scholar sighed, I can't figure out who would bear to attack such a beautiful fox, just about to reach out and pull out the arrow, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, the scholar secretly said badly, knowing that this might be someone hunting, they shot the fox, and quickly hid the fox in the wide cuffs. The fox is also psychic, enduring the pain without screaming, lying motionless in the scholar's sleeve.
As soon as he hid, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and more than a dozen horses galloped over, stopping in front of the scholar, led by a big man in luxurious armor, who opened his mouth and asked, "The scholar, can you see a white fox?" The scholar shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." Dahan walked out of his side and asked in a coquettish voice, "Haven't you seen it yet?" The scholar looked up, but saw that there was actually a woman on horseback, and she looked like a country and a city! The scholar couldn't help but want to tell the truth, but when he remembered the pitiful eyes of the white fox in his sleeve, he shook his head firmly and said, "I haven't seen it."
The big man reined in the horse's reins and said: "We must have run to the other side of the mountain, let's chase quickly, and when the time comes, pull off the skin and give the young lady a collar", more than a dozen horses galloped away in an instant, leaving only the bamboo forest that was trampled by the horses' hooves. The little fox heard the sound of the horse's hooves gradually moving away, only to get out of the scholar's sleeve, actually stood up, respectfully to the scholar, the scholar smiled: "You, you, but take good care of yourself", the white fox again, dragging the injured leg away gradually.
The scholar is sick, lovesick! Every day, when I was reading, I always hoped to see the woman on horseback again, but every time I heard the sound of horses' hooves, I was always disappointed, and the scholar was getting thinner and thinner, but when he was dying, he always seemed to see a white shadow, surrounding him, as if he was dancing, or screaming!
Thousands of years later, the bamboo forest of the year has become a mansion, today it is all red lanterns and satin, it turns out, today is the wedding day of the new champion and the princess, it can be regarded as the size of the Dengke once comes, the world is blissful in the present day.
Zhuangyuanlang kept moving in the house, his heart was very nervous, the whip sounded outside, a burst of drums sounded, the housekeeper came to report: "Childe, the princess's sedan chair has arrived", Zhuangyuanlang walked out of the door in three or two steps, opened the sedan door, only to see that the woman in the sedan chair is so familiar, as if she has seen countless times in the dream, she rode a horse in the dream, and the country and the city were overwhelmed.
When the cave room was spent on the night of candles, the husband and wife looked at each other affectionately, but there was a knock on the door, Zhuang Yuanlang opened the door, but saw that he was a personal maid standing at the door, and he saw that she looked at Zhuang Yuanlang with tears in her eyes and said without saying a word, Zhuang Yuanlang smiled and wiped away her tears and said: "You girl, what are you crying on a happy day." The maid gave a deep salute and said: "Today, I came to say goodbye to my son", Zhuang Yuanlang was shocked, this maid and he can be described as a childhood sweetheart, how could he say that he wanted to leave today, his heart was sour, he grabbed the maid's hand and asked: "Why?" ”。 The maid had tears in her eyes, and said with a sad expression: "A thousand years ago, I was fortunate to have the grace of my son to save my life, but today I want to avenge the revenge of the year!" After speaking, he picked up the scissors and ran in the direction of the princess, and Zhuang Yuanlang was shocked and said in front of the princess: "Why are you like this!" ”。
The maid's tears flowed, looking at Zhuang Yuanlang sadly, reaching out and picking up his trouser leg, there was an arrow scar on the leg, the maid said: "A favor and a grievance, you and I have a past, you, you, you have to take care of yourself", after speaking, retreated into the hospital, Zhuang Yuanlang only felt that this sentence was very familiar, when chasing out, where was there any figure, I could only vaguely hear a burst of women's singing in the distance.
"I am a fox who has practiced for thousands of years"
"A Thousand Years of Practice, a Thousand Years of Solitude"
