Chapter 5: The Red Silk Tower
The frost fell, the wind passed slightly, and there was a light rain.
Wu Yueya finished playing the set of unloading fists taught by the monk Wushi in front of the door, and at this time, the hoarfrost on the fence had begun to disappear, and the dim sky began to rain lightly.
Since she began to practice this Pure Heart Sutra, she has felt that her heart has become more and more calm, her sense of hearing has become much more sensitive, and the most important thing is that her physical quality is superior to usual, her breathing is smooth, and her spirit has begun to be better than ordinary people.
This internal strength is just luck to reach a point of ease and calm, with this set of unloading boxing methods, but I feel a bit like Tai Chi, but this boxing method is only unloading, not offensive qi, not aggressive, it seems to be only suitable for defense, yin and yang lack its yang.
Wu Yueya thinks it's okay, this is just the beginning, it is not bad to have this kind of significant change, according to the monk Wushi, she needs to get up every morning to practice inhaling and exhaling, at least for more than three years, in order to achieve a little success, to reach more than ten years, in order to have a great success, and then to become a grandmaster, and have the opportunity to become a great grandmaster.
Everything must be taken step by step, step by step, and it cannot be done overnight, because that will lose the mind and be counterproductive.
Wu Yueya stood at the door and looked at the light rain outside the house, the weather was slightly cool, the wind was blowing, and it was slightly cold. Mother Lu and Monk Wushi were chatting in the house, and Mother Lu asked Monk Wushi from time to time to teach the Buddha principles of life, and also hoped that the Buddha would bless Lu Er to be a Jinshi, so that the Lu family would be glorious.
Although Wu Yueya accepted the teachings of the enlightened monk, she felt that she didn't have to believe in Buddhism, but the Buddhist principles must still be understood, after all, people are in the world, and many Buddhist principles are correct and useful.
The most important thing now is to adapt to the life of this world, it is not bad to know some people or things, go into business when you have the opportunity, earn more money, and then go to Chang'an to take a walk, and simply live a few days. I really can't go back, so I can only stay here.
Wu Yueya listened to the light rain on the eaves, looked at the heavy mountains outside the door, breathed the fresh air, leaned against the door frame, stunned, and occasionally birds were not afraid of the cold autumn rain, flying through the sky, making a lonely sound, which would pull Wu Yueya back to reality.
After boiling the water a few times, the rain outside the house has stagnated, the villagers went out, and came back, and caught a glimpse of a bucket of hats outside the door, holding a few big fish in her hands, Wu Yueya felt familiar, and took a closer look, but she saw a trick, this person was the villager who sent fish to her last time.
Shoulder-resisting fishing bamboo poles, wearing mango shoes and stepping on the muddy ground, slightly chic and comfortable, after a short time, he entered the mud room in the distance, and got together with his wife, who looked a little fat.
At this time, a snotty child came out of his house, holding a small stick, first poking around in the mud, and then jumping up and down on the waterlogged ground, very stubborn. Wu Yueya recognized this child, this little guy was the innocent child who rudely called her 'dumb' that day.
Unexpectedly, it was a child of the Zhao Lu family of Tianshe Han, although Wu Yueya had stayed here for half a month, the only person she had with was the Lu family, if she went to someone else's house to ask for something, it was also Lu Feng who went, because she couldn't speak, it was difficult to communicate with these villagers.
It was raining, and many children came out to play, gathered to play, and it was also lively. Not long after, Wu Yueya, who was warming the bread, heard the crying of children outside.
"What is the sound of crying?" The monk got up from the couch and looked out of the door, only to see the two children pinching each other, fighting and fighting, and couldn't help frowning.
"Probably the children are making trouble, it's all common things, and I'm afraid the child's father will have to fight after a while." Lu Mu picked up the last sentence, obviously not surprised by this kind of thing.
"This is not good, everything has to pay attention to a calm mind, and the poor monk will persuade him."
After saying that, Wushi put on a robe, and went up to persuade the two children who were rolling in the mud and beating each other, Wu Yueya heated the dough cake, first sent it to Lu's mother, and then went out to look, only to see that the monk was happy to reason with a group of naughty children, talking about a handful of mud thrown on the red robe of the Wushi monk, and the two children no longer fought with each other, but laughed at the Wushi monk.
Seeing that the two children were no longer fighting each other, he got up and came back, and shook his head with a helpless smile. Wu Yueya covered her mouth and chuckled, this monk is a little interesting, quite childlike, let the monk come in, dip some water in his hand, pull the monk's robe, and write on it, "I'll wash these dirt for Master!" ”
Monk Wushi clasped his hands together and smiled respectfully, "Then thank you, little donor!" ”
This high monk did not take himself as a teacher because he taught Wu Yue Aya's exercises, but continued to call Wu Yue Aya a little benefactor, quite modest.
After eating the bread, Wu Yueya walked out of the village, went around to the river, stepped on the pebbles by the river, washed the robe with a clothes-pounding stick, and then returned to the house to dry the robe. After doing these things, I explained to Lu's mother, and then headed towards Jingzhou City.
Walking on the dirt path, she remembered the strange things of the past few days, first met a sneaky man, who seemed to be called Zhang Mulezi, this name did not dare to compliment, and the person also looked like a market gangster, and as soon as they met, they said that she was a ghost. Wu Yueya felt that there must be something strange in the meantime, and only when she had a slight achievement in her kung fu could she block others from exploring the truth.
As for the guy who teased himself, he asked the shopkeeper, and it seems to be the Erlang of the Cui family, a drunken man. Rubbing her forehead, this guy she really felt very troublesome, she kicked someone's dick before, this beam is over, anyway, I'm not afraid, I see the move, it's a big deal to take the revolver and make people suddenly.
But after thinking about it carefully, I hope they don't think of any crooked ideas, Lu's mother's safety still has to be guaranteed, after all, now she takes care of Lu Ziji's mother, how to explain it to others if something happens?
The masked murderer had never been seen last night, and she had never offended anyone. It's just that you live your life here in peace and stability, not to be rich and rich, but to be safe and secure.
After a short time, I walked to the gate of the city, entered the city, went to Nanfang, and continued to start my full day.
When she came to the cloth shop of the head of the house, Wu Yueya said hello first, but found that there was a young man next to her.
The shopkeeper was still frowning and worried about an old face, and the man next to him was also worried about a bitter gourd face, struggling with an account book in his hand.
Wu Yueya was helpless, and said in her heart how the ancients always liked to have a bitter face, as the so-called smile for ten years, the more sorrowful the older you are, the more sad you are, the more bitter you are.
"The little lady of Yueya came just in time, ouch, this is a bad account of the jewelry shop, now Hu merchants rarely go south, business is sluggish, and the rich and noble families in Jingzhou City do not buy much, resulting in the accumulation of goods and cannot be sold." The shopkeeper snatched the account book in Fang Rui's hand and respectfully pushed it in front of Wu Yueya.
Wu Yueya heard that this jewelry shop is always in and out of the shop, and it is strange that she does not lose money, looking at this account book, she picked up the pen and wrote, calculated the profit and loss, and found that the things on it were all some valuable jewelry, which was even if it was a high-end person who could not consume it often.
So he wrote on the paper suggestively, "Why not produce some porcelain or semi-imitation jewelry, and sell it at a fair price, or sell more, the premise is that you must play a good sign." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the negative number, and instantly squinted his eyes, as if he had been spicted by chili peppers, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he saw which line of words Wu Yueya wrote, and he was suddenly a little puzzled.
Then she narrowed her eyes and asked, "The little lady is talking about selling fake jewelry?" ”
When Fang Rui heard this, he hurriedly interjected disdainfully, as if he was disdainful of half-imitation fake jewelry, "Reputation should be the first thing in business, and sooner or later people will not be spurned for cheating!" ”
Wu Yueya looked at this young man, pretended to smile mysteriously, and continued to write on the paper, "Tell people that we are selling fakes, but they are cheap and good-looking, and ordinary people can buy them!" ”
"Cut, deception can't be a big deal!" Fang Rui pursed his lips and put on a look of interest.
The shopkeeper clapped his hands on the table and laughed heartily.
Fang Rui thought that his father agreed with his statement, and he also smiled proudly, and looked at Wu Yueya provocatively, See, you are just a short-sighted woman, and it is not enough to make a big deal. If it weren't for his father scolding him for not being as good as a woman, he wouldn't have been able to raise the bar with Wu Yue.
"Oh, the little lady of the moon is really a genius! This method is feasible, the expensive ones really can't afford it, we can buy some fake and cheap ones, tell people, this is a fake, but it can still be consumed, it can be used to decorate itself, but it is no less than those genuine products, good ideas, good ideas! Ha ha. The shopkeeper laughed like thunder again, but the sound entered Fang Rui's ears so incongruously, and even a little harsh. When he glanced at Wu Yueya's eyes, Wu Yueya also looked at each other proudly with provocation.
There was not much to do next, Wu Yueya left early, she hadn't seen the head of the Gu family these days, the current business of the Gu family was not good or bleak, at least the income was still there, I just don't know if these shopkeepers would be greedy for ink, but Gu Yi is a rigid and serious person, and he is not easy to speak, presumably this kind of thing should not happen.
Out of the cloth shop, looking at the bustling market, most of them are poor people wearing linen robes, small merchants selling food, and naturally there are many sons of rich families wearing white robes and shaking paper fans towards a building in the distance.
It is not another place, it is the red silk building, according to Gu Renyi's previous introduction, combined with some passers-by he heard about it, the red silk building is a land of wind and snow, to put it bluntly, it is a green building, a place for rich people to eat and prostitute.
Slightly curious about this red silk building, Wu Yueya was idle, and while strolling, she was thinking about how to spend it when her salary was paid. Walking into this high-end atmosphere of the red silk building, the building is divided into three floors, each floor has at least five or six windows, on which are some pink beauty leaning on the window probe, from time to time to throw a wink, seduce the passers-by.
Wu Yueya felt that if she wasn't a woman, she really wanted to go in and take a look, so she stopped and watched, and there was a sound of piano singing upstairs, although it was not as good as modern pop songs, but it could also be warm to the ears.
Together with this singing, some of the down-and-out people who were squatting in the corner opposite the red silk building all showed a look of enjoyment, and even some people were in tattered clothes, like beggars, who closed their eyes and listened quietly when they heard this song, as if they were ecstatic. Wu Yueya smiled, look at your virtue, if Lao Tzu suddenly sings a song on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, wouldn't it scare you to hug your head and run away.
"Ah, a new kabuki from this red silk house, named Lan Xiaojing, sixteen years old, her requiem reminds me of my deceased relatives, and I can't help but cry."
"Yes, you remember the past, and now you are down! Alas! ”
Wu Yueya was helpless, and said in her heart that you guys just rubbed the tune, just listen to it in vain, sigh and sigh for two sentences, cry not decently, is it a man?
Wu Yueya looked at the group of wanderers squatting in the corner, speechless in her heart, she obviously had the strength, she didn't go to work to earn money, she was crying and sad here, what did she look like!
A chubby old woman suddenly came out of the red silk building, only to hear the old woman scold, "What are you crying about?" Crying and mourning! Come on, beat these poor beggars away for me! ”
At this moment, several evil men rushed out from behind the old woman, holding flat sticks and sticks, and drove away the group of depressed people with great momentum. Wu Yueya hurriedly stepped aside, and squinted when she heard a wail, which was really not eye-catching. Some of these down-and-out people had to run away with their heads in their hands, and those who escaped late were beaten to the ground by the sticks, scolding in pain, and finally they couldn't scold them, so they could only drag their lame legs and crawl on the ground.
Wu Yueya closed her eyes, trying not to look at these beggars, looking at the bad heart, listening to the worry, she thought, that old woman should be the old bustard.
"Ouch, this little lady looks really smart."
Just when Wu Yueya closed her eyes and didn't look at these poor beggars, a slightly sharp female voice came into her ears out of place, and at the same time she smelled a strong fragrance of rouge and vulgar powder, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that this was not the old woman she guessed?
"Hey, do you want to go into our Hongjuan Building to have a look, eat, drink, dress well, and have everything." The pink old woman's slightly fat face was full of sly smiles.
Wu Yue Ayaxin said that Lao Tzu is so easy to deceive? Anyway, I also went to college, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out if I went in, so I quickly shook my head and took a step back.
I had to retreat, because the evil people around me had already surrounded me, and they were looking Wu Yueya up and down.
"Ouch, little lady, don't be afraid, come on, come on, I'll take you to eat some delicious pastries, you must not have eaten it, it's sweet and greasy, but it's delicious!"
Wu Yueya shook her head helplessly, turned around and ran, scolding a neurotic sentence in her heart.
"Mom, are we going to chase it?"
"Hmph, no need, but follow them well, find a place to live, and have a chance to buy her." Mother Guan glanced at Wuhou who was idle in the distance in disgust, and said in disappointment.
"Yes!"
Then a few evil people discussed it and followed Wu Yueya.
Wu Yueya escaped from the range of the Red Silk Building, exhaled a long breath, and said in her heart that curiosity killed the cat, now I am afraid that I will be targeted again, I am really asking for trouble. After looking at the sky, I felt that it was better not to wander around the street unscrupulously like this, and I touched the public inspection on my body, and found that it was gone.
Wu Yueya didn't know it, followed by a few tails, and when she found out that Wu Yueya had something to do with the Gu family cloth shop, some evil people ran back to report the news. It wasn't until Wu Yueya left the city that these evil men didn't go out with them, because if they went out again, as soon as the city gate was closed, they would have to stay in the lonely mountains.
