Chapter 13: Where We Seem to Have Met
The waiter carefully placed a small tray in front of each of them, carefully put the delicate oranges into the plate, and then left very politely.
Several people looked at the oranges on the plate, you look at me, I look at you, trying to find out what they want to know from each other's eyes.
"Do any of you know this Mo Li?" Xiao Bing asked.
"I met on the street a few days ago, and we had a meal together, not too familiar, but he gave me a really good feeling, from a scholarly family, with elegant charm. Yan Yu continued.
When I was in junior high school, there was a tutor named Mo Li, I don't know if it's the same person. At this time, Ye Yichen added: "I vaguely remember that his temperament is quite similar to what Yan Yu said." ”
"Then do you remember how old he was at the time?" Yan Yu asked curiously.
Since that night, Yan Yu and Lang Ming Mo Li have not been in contact again, this Mo Li's sudden appearance made his curiosity pause, and when he heard Ye Yichen say that, he was even more curious.
If they are talking about the same person, then this world is really not big, or they are not shallow in fate, and they still have to meet in the end.
The Buddha said: Fate is the cause and effect of cultivation in previous lives, so acquaintance is fate, and forgetting is fate.
The Buddha said: Everyone has already arranged what they see and encounter, and everything is fate. Fate originates and dies, fate gathers and disperses, everything is a fixed number.
"It was seven or eight years ago, and I didn't have any idea of age at the time, but he gave me the feeling of a big brother next door, and sometimes he would tell me some good stories. Ye Yichen tried hard to recall the scene at that time, and then said: "Later, the study pressure was relatively high, and I didn't care much about what he looked like, I only knew that he was a tutor found by his parents, and he wanted to study hard with him." ”
"Then do you remember some of the stories he told you, is there anything about Su Yun and Princess Ruoshui, or some unreliable senior brother?" Yan Yu asked Ye Yichen again, and when he heard that Mo Li had also told a story, his curiosity was stimulated again.
"That's not true, the stories he told are about a man named Xia Xiaohu, I still remember some, are you interested in hearing about it?"
"Xia Xiaohu, I haven't heard of it, and he doesn't seem to be a celebrity, what's so good about his story. Xiao Bing said at this time, but she continued: "Anyway, it's still early, it's boring to be idle, and it's good to listen to it." ”
"Then I'll see how much I can say, after so many years, my memory is a little blurry. ”
In the first year of Taiwu, Taiwu pacified the world, called the emperor, called the emperor, founded the country called Taihe, and built the Yuan Taiwu.
In the three years of Taiwu, the country and the people were safe, and the Taiwu Emperor implemented the rule of the world, and the scholars of the world went out of the mountains and deep forests to serve the temple.
Yongzhou is located in the south of the empire and is known as the hometown of literati. Since the implementation of the Emperor's civil administration, the population of Yongzhou has increased dramatically, and people from outside the state have poured in.
The teaching gentlemen and private schools in Yongzhou City have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the good and the bad are mixed, and there are many opportunistic people, pretending to be Mr. and misleading people's children.
Yongzhou Taishou Li Shule was one of the founding heroes who followed Emperor Taiwu to conquer the world, and his thirty years of career as a horse made him feel tired, almost completely wearing out his scholarly spirit.
Before meeting Emperor Taiwu, Li Shule had the world in mind and took peace and stability as his ideal.
When Taishou was six years old, the world was in turmoil, but Taishou's father brought a scholar home outside, saying that the troubled times were coming, and Shule needed better training, and he might become a big man in the future.
This scholar is Xia Xiaohu, in fact, Xia Xiaohu took the initiative to find his father, and showed his talent for martial arts a little, saying that he had a fate with Li Shule, and would help him to be a marquis in troubled times.
Master Li only thought that Xia Xiaohu was a doorman who wanted to take refuge in a big family, and thinking that the troubled times were coming, he really needed to find some strange people in his house to protect the family and the hospital.
So he agreed that Xia Xiaohu should be Mr. Li Shule, but Xia Xiaohu refused, and only wanted to be a scholar for Gongzi and accompany Gongzi for ten years, and when the ten years were up, he would leave.
Master Li was stunned for a moment at first, but in total, the price of the scholar was much lower than that of Mr., so he didn't think too much about it, led Xia Xiaohu back to the house, and replaced him with the clothes of a scholar.
In the next ten years, under the guidance and teaching of Xia Xiaohu, Li Shule was outstanding in martial arts and strategies.
There are good people in the outside world who have a list of peaceful chaos in Yongzhou City, and Li Shule ranks third, this is still Xia Xiaohu asked him to keep his head in obscurity and suppress himself, and the list makers formulated it according to some of the situations they knew.
After the ten-year period arrived, Xia Xiaohu left Loei, and Li Shule, who was supposed to be grateful to Xia Xiaohu, didn't know what was going on, and forgot about Xia Xiaohu little by little, and later couldn't remember that there was this person who appeared in his life for ten years.
Three years before Emperor Taiwu pacified the world, Li Shule was forty years old, regarded as the pearl of his palm, and named Li Luoqi.
After the founding of Taiwu, Taiwu originally named Li Shule as the king of Shu and led the land of Yongzhou. But Li Shule is well versed in the way of being an official, even if he supports the merits of the master, he does not mention the slightest, as long as he is in the position of a Taishou, he will go back to Yongzhou to unload his armor and make ink, and go to have fun with the people.
Emperor Taiwu saw that Li Shule was so low-key, so he also followed his wishes, but added Li Luoqi as the lord of Qianqi, and he could enter the palace at any time to show his holy grace.
In the third year of Taiwu, one afternoon, in front of the Taishou Mansion in Yongzhou, after 30 years, Xia Xiaohu came here again.
The gatekeeper of the Taishou Mansion took a nap, and from time to time he reached out to wipe his face and touched the beads of sweat on his face, because the weather was very hot.
"May I ask if the owner of this mansion is Li Shule Li Taishou?" Xia Xiaohu stepped forward and asked the concierge very politely.
"Exactly! My family has been here for three years, and I don't know which one or the other. This man didn't even look at Xia Xiaohu, and said proudly, as if he himself was the Taishou of the house.
"Little brother, I heard that Qianqi County is mainly recruiting a scholar to study, so I came here to recommend myself. ”
"Are you a scholar?"
Xia Xiaohu is dressed as a scribe, wearing a long shirt, ink and gray is the theme, half-spotless, his jet-black hair is combed in a neat bun on the top of his head, set in an ordinary white jade hair crown, his delicate face shows a perfect side face under the sun, and a pair of slender and clean hands block the sun from time to time.
Looking at the temperament alone, Xia Xiaohu's eyes are calm, without half a trace of waves, slightly vicissitudes, if they meet, people feel that there must be a story in this person.
Looking at that delicate face again, this person is not too old, seventeen, eighty-nine, not weak.
After looking at it for a while, Menzi still didn't pay much attention to Xia Xiaohu, obviously satisfied with his dress, but it was a little bit less meaningful.
This door also has its own ideas.,Recently, Taishou has really been worried about the county lord's teacher and the accompanying reading boy.,Several waves of people before and after.,Taishou didn't look at it.。 Look at this person's appearance and temperament are good, if he is introduced by me, Taishou can take a fancy to it, then he must not reward well.
It's just that this person is too ignorant, so Menzi didn't blast him away like before, and didn't pay much attention to him.
Xia Xiaohu smiled, knowing what Menzi was thinking.
took a step forward and said to Menzi, "Little brother, where do we seem to have met?"
At the same time, in a corner that outsiders can't see, he secretly handed Menzi some broken silver, and whispered at the same time: "The distant fellow has trekked here, and there is really not much left, and I will not forget the fellow countryman in the future." ”
"yes, yes, we seem to have met somewhere. That's right, that's right, are we fellow countrymen? Yes, it's fellow countrymen, you wait a minute, fellow countryman, I'll inform the housekeeper. When Menzi had taken the broken silver, he was overjoyed, and raised his voice a little to the people who came and went.
The court was initially decided, and all the wastes were waiting to be revived, and those who came to visit in the past were some copper plates, and even copper plates were not, and they honored the disciples with eggs, cabbage, etc. It's rare to meet a generous one today, and the more Menzi looks at Xia Xiaohu, the more pleasing it is.
Then he ran to the house in a hurry.
