Volume 5 Absurd Southern Han Forty-two, Talking in Dreams
Panshan Chang walked into the bamboo hall, but the beautiful woman of Shanha stood still by the door, one hand crossed her waist, the other hand held the round bamboo door frame, the plump buttocks wrapped in the blue flower skirt naturally tilted to one side, and the soft waist was concave in the opposite direction, forming a tumultuous curve, and the eyes that were as bright as the stars turned around, as if there was a brilliant flow of gems, such eyes were really godly. (Eye to the book)
"Pan Zicheng, when a distant guest arrives, why don't you even ask about your surname?"
This mountain beauty looked at Zhou Xuan, her red lips moved slightly, and her voice was like a yellow warbler chirping in Cuigu, and the canoe-like crown of beads on her head trembled slightly, and from the front, the bead crown looked like a golden phoenix with wings ready to fly.
The name of the head of the mountain is Pan Zicheng, the head of the mountain is the rank title of the Shanha people, second to the patriarch and the chief of the village, the slender face of the head of the mountain said ashamedly: "Yes, the subordinates are stupid." He bowed to Zhou Xuan and said, "May I ask your honorable guest's name?" ”
Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "My identity is nothing to hide, the Wuyue people outside the mountains are searching for me everywhere, rather than being incognito, it is better to say it calmly to win the trust of these Shanha people." He immediately got up and saluted: "Zhou Xuan, a native of the Tang Kingdom, is this the patriarch of Pan, it is really beautiful, I have heard for a long time that the beautiful women of Xiapu Mountain and Haling Mountain are beautiful, and it is really worthy of its reputation." ”
Zhou Xuan knew that the Shanha woman liked to hear people praise her beauty, so she praised the patriarch of the Pan clan when she opened her mouth, and her tone was very sincere, because this female patriarch was indeed very beautiful.
"Zhou Xuan?" The matriarch raised her eyebrows, fixed her eyes on Zhou Xuan's face, and asked, "Which Zhou Xuan?" "This matriarch looks about twenty-seven or eight years old, but she has the charm of a girl, and when she speaks, her face is very rich, and her eyebrows, eyes and lips will convey affection.
Zhou Xuan smiled: "I don't know which Zhou Xuan it is." It seems that he hasn't met anyone with the same name and surname, has the Pan patriarch met another Zhou Xuan? ”
The matriarch looked at Zhou Xuan very attentively, walked into the bamboo hall lightly, and asked Zhou Xuan and the others to sit down, she sat on the big bamboo chair covered with leopard skin, cross-legged, sitting gracefully and beautifully, like a Buddhist goddess. Meimu looked forward to it and said: "I know a Lord Zhou Xuanzhou, he is both civil and military, handsome and extraordinary, the official worships the scholar of the Tang State Jixian Palace, and the title of Marquis of Xinzhou - the distinguished guest is also from the Tang Kingdom, haven't you heard of it?" ”
Zhou Xuan's thick eyebrows, slender eyes, and a careful look at the beautiful Xiapu Shanha matriarch, Zhou Xuan has always been very selfless when he looks at beautiful women. There is also a kind of painter's unique sensitivity and pickiness in his eyes.
The matriarch was calm and calm. But Zhou Xuan was also slightly shy, stroked his cheek with his hand, and asked, "Why is the distinguished guest looking at me like this?" ”
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, I definitely haven't seen it, if it's an ordinary woman, it's just that, but as long as I see a beauty like the Pan patriarch once, I will never forget it, people say that I have a talent that I don't forget ^H, in fact, it refers to the beauty that will never forget." ”
The matriarch's eyes rippled. In her voice, which is unforgettable as soon as you hear it, crisp as a yellow warbler, and soft as a breeze, she asked: "What does your guest mean by saying that you are the Xinzhou Hou Zhouxuan?" ”
Zhou Xuan shook his head again and said, "I'm not the Marquis of Xinzhou-"
The matriarch bent her willow eyebrows and frowned suddenly, and a stern look appeared in her eyes, but she heard Zhou Xuan continue: "——The grace of His Majesty Emperor Tang." I have now added a letter to the county prince of Xinzhou, I wonder where the Pan patriarch has seen me? ”
The expression on the matriarch's face changed very quickly, her willow eyebrows relaxed, she smiled, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Is it really Lord Zhou Xuanzhou?" Should I trust you? ”
Zhou Xuan nodded and said: "I have to prove it, I'm too famous, right, even Fujian knows it." There must be some unscrupulous Han people who pretend to be the name of my place to deceive the beautiful Shanha girl. So, how do I prove that I am Zhou Xuan? ”
The matriarch pursed her lips and smiled. (Eyes quickly read the book) asked: "Since you are the county prince of Shinshu, can you not have an official seal?" ”
Zhou Xuan said: "There is an edict from the Tang Emperor, but it was thrown into the sea." ”
The matriarch's eyelashes flashed, her eyes were complicated, and she said, "Then I still can't believe you, you have to find a way to prove that you are Zhou Xuan?" ”
The four idiots on the side leaned on the bamboo chair and listened impatiently, and said: "Doesn't Zhou Xuan have a nickname called Zhou Qicha, and the patriarch of Pan asked him to chant a poem and fill in a word." ”
The beautiful matriarch's eyes lit up, but she said: "We Shanha people don't know those poems and lyrics, even if they come randomly, I can't tell the good from the bad." ”
The four idiots said: "He has other skills, music, Go, insect fighting, painting, all of which are proficient, and the patriarch of Pan can choose any one to test him." ”
The beautiful matriarch shook her head and said: "Music, we Shanha people can sing, we can't play Go, Dou Worm doesn't have that leisure, anyone can draw two strokes, these are not good to prove that he is Zhou Xuan." ”
Zhou Xuan said helplessly: "It's really a strange thing, I still have to prove whether I am Zhou Xuan or not, why should I prove it?" I don't come to covet you for anything, I am me, I am a guest who came to your Xiapu Shan Ha Bamboo Village, is this how the hospitable Shan Ha interrogated a friendly guest? ”
The beautiful matriarch wanted to confirm whether the man with thick eyebrows and fine eyes in front of him was Zhou Xuan, which was very important, and when she heard Zhou Xuan say this, she couldn't help but smile: "It's me who was rude, so may I ask Guest Zhou, why did the Han soldiers in the county arrest you?" ”
Zhou Xuan spread his hands: "Speaking of which, I'm going back again, Wu Yuebing wants to arrest me just because I'm Zhou Xuan!" ”
The beautiful matriarch pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Does Guest Zhou recognize a person named Chen Ji?" ”
"Chen Ji?" Zhou Xuan was stunned, Chen Ji went to Xianxialing to see Pan Yujiao, the patriarch of the Pan clan, and Lei Meng, the patriarch of the Lei clan, could it be that the beautiful patriarch in front of him was also present at that time? No, there are hundreds of miles of mountain roads from Xianxia Ridge here, and it is impossible for Pan Yujiao to gather all the patriarchs, and said: "Of course I know, Chen Ji is my best friend, General Sipin Mingwei, I went to Xianxialing to meet with the patriarch of the Pan clan a few months ago, could it be that the patriarch of Pan has seen him?" Well, Chen Ji and his uncle Chen Kai should be in the Zhangzhou area now. ”
The beautiful matriarch glanced at Zhou Xuan deeply, and she already believed that this person was Zhou Xuan, and said, "I have seen Lord Chen Ji from the great patriarch, and Zhou Xuan's name was learned from Lord Chen Ji. ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "I'm ashamed." I thought I was a household name! What else does the Pan patriarch have to ask? How can you go into Shanha Bamboo Village and ask endlessly like picking a son-in-law. ”
The beautiful matriarch blushed slightly and said, "Then don't ask, Guest Zhou will tell me about the dream entrusted to you by the Snake King." ”
Zhou Xuanxin said: "Let's start, let's start fooling." Said: "I and several subordinates were chased and killed by Wu Yuebing, sheltered from the rain in the Snake King Temple in the mountain pass, I was very tired, that is, I fell asleep in front of the statue, and dreamed of a few feet tall, with a birthday star tumor on his forehead, and a mighty old man with a dragon head and a cane. There was also a beautiful woman dressed like a white cloud beside the old man—"
The matriarch said curiously: "Who is this woman in white?" ”
Zhou Xuan said: "I also asked so in my dream, the old man said that I am the ancestor of Shanha, the true body of the snake king, and this is my beloved concubine White Snake Niangniang——"
The matriarch was surprised: "White Snake Niangniang, why have I never heard of it?" ”
Zhou Xuan said: "How can we ordinary people know everything about the gods!" ”
"White Snake Niangniang" is a new character deliberately added by Zhou Xuan, if the dream words he said are familiar to the Shanha people, it will be difficult to make the Shanha people believe it, so it must be artistically processed. Thereupon. The Great Snake King has a beautiful concubine - the White Snake Niangniang.
The matriarch looked respectful: "Lord Zhou is right, please talk about the dream of the snake king." ”
Zhou Xuandao: "The snake king said to me that in the dream of Zhou Jungong, I didn't feel strange that the snake king called me Zhou Jungong, and after waking up, it was secretly strange, gods are gods, you don't need to ask), the snake king said that Zhou Jungong came to the land of Fujian because of the shipwreck, it can be said that there is a fate, and this king has something to ask the county prince to help - I am very respectful to the snake king and his princess. said that if there is something to do, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help - the snake king said that my descendants are all over the land of Fujian. It's a pity that it belongs to the three kingdoms, can't be unified, and is quite bullied, I heard that His Majesty the Tang Emperor is benevolent and loves the people, and the Zhou County Gong is wise and virtuous. The faucet turned. The fire is alive and will keep me cold—"
The matriarch leaned forward. The right elbow was on the thigh, the hand was on the cheek, and she listened intently to Zhou Xuan's dream words, nodding while listening, Zhou Xuandi's dream words were too deep into her heart.
Zhou Xuan looked at the delicate posture of the female matriarch and continued: "I was quite embarrassed in my dream, I didn't come to Changxi because I sent Princess Qingle to the Southern Han Dynasty to complete the marriage, and encountered a big storm, so I hurriedly landed on the shore, Princess Qingle was accidentally taken captive by the people of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian, Wu Yuebing wanted to arrest me again, I was too busy to take care of myself, how can I help the Shanha people, and these things must be discussed with the four patriarchs of Pan, Lei, Zhong, and Lan - the snake king said that as long as Zhou Jungong promised to help me Shanha people, I would let Pan Yujiao come to see you, The matter of the princess of the Tang Kingdom is also not to worry about the princess, how can the land of Fujian be rampant by the demon monks of the eight kingdoms of Zhongtian! The demon monk once spoke disrespectfully to my Shanha people, saying that the Shanha barbarians did not obey the teachings and did not accept the Dharma, but were inferior savages, who could only be driven to hard labor, and could not live in the rich land of the plains, and could live in the poor mountains and bad waters—"
Sitting on the leopard skin bamboo chair, the matriarch of the beautiful woman raised her eyebrows, her starry eyes burst out with an awe-inspiring murderous aura, and said hatefully: "This demon monk once drove my Shanha people to build a palace for Zhang Sheng in Chaozhou, and forced my Shanha people to believe in Buddhism - Lord Zhou, please continue." ”
Zhou Xuan said: "No, I was about to talk to the Snake King when I was awakened by this mountain chief." ”
The beautiful matriarch glanced at Pan Shan Chang reproachfully, and Pan Shan Chang was ashamed and hurriedly pleaded guilty.
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "What is the crime of the Panshan chief, if it is not the Panshan chief, how can I meet the Panshan chief?" This should be the guide of the Great Snake King. ”
The beautiful matriarch nodded and said, "That's right, it's the guidance of the Great Snake King, who sent Zhou Jungong to our bamboo village." ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and asked, "So Patriarch Pan believes that I am genuine Zhou Xuan?" ”
The beautiful matriarch said with a smile: "Yes." ”
Zhou Xuan said: "Since I believe it, then I'm not welcome, I haven't eaten for the six of us last night, and I am annoyed that the matriarch of the beautiful woman will prepare some food for us, and the clothes on the four of us have been torn by knives and guns, and there is no change of clothes, please prepare a Shanha costume for each of the six of us, thank you in advance." ”
The beautiful matriarch hurriedly got up and said, "Slack and slack." "Please wait a minute, the wine and food will be here soon.
The beautiful matriarch went down to the bamboo building with her waist and limbs. Leave the mountain chief and two mountain girls to wait.
After a while, eight Shanha girls came with a long wooden plate, and there were two dishes in each wooden plate, such as fried snails, drunken partridges, mushroom crabs, bamboo shoot jelly, and fried oyster meat...... They are all mountain seafood, and the wine is fruit wine, which has a unique flavor.
The beautiful matriarch personally accompanied, hospitality, and banquet. The beauty matriarch asked the monk Jingquan in detail where he went, Zhou Xuan said one by one, after a full meal, after a short rest, Panshan Chang led everyone to the bamboo building bathroom to bathe, others don't know what treatment, but Zhou Xuan has two Shanha girls to serve him to bathe, Shanha women have a higher status than men, the patriarch and the village chief are basically women. Instead, the men served as servants. Because Zhou Xuan is a distinguished guest, so there is a Shanha girl waiting, Zhou Xuan is now pampered, accustomed to being served, calmly accept it, after washing, first let the Fang Taiyi change the dressing for his shoulder injury, and then put on the Shanha man's clothes. Dressed in a white-edged blue short coat, cyan trousers, and blue and blue cloth shoes, the eyes of the two Shanha girls were bright, and they looked at Zhou Xuan's eyes with great affection.
A young girl said, "Guest Zhou." Today is August 13th, and there will be a bonfire duet at night, so guests must participate. ”
Zhou Xuan was worried about Princess Qingle and Lin Ji and others, and he really had no intention of having fun, and said, "Let's talk about it after I meet your patriarch." ”
Zhou Xuan got out of the bathroom of the bamboo building and went to see the beautiful matriarch, but the chief of Panshan said that the patriarch was not there. See Zhou Jungong again at night. Please ask Zhou Jungong to rest, and there is no need to rush to rescue Princess Qingle. The patriarch has already made arrangements.
Zhou Xuan saw that it was already the beginning of the Shen time, and it would be dark soon, so it would be better to hurry tomorrow and let the fourth child recuperate for the night.
Panshan Chang has already arranged a place for Zhou Xuan's six people to stay, it is an independent courtyard with a wall, the wall is naturally bamboo, three doors, one large and two small, two inside, two rows of houses and ten rooms, Zhou Xuan is in the middle of the back row.
Zhou Xuan closed his eyes on the bamboo couch in the room for a while, his thoughts were rushing, and he couldn't be quiet, so he got up and went to the room next door to the four idiots, and cared about the four idiots.
The door was hidden, Zhou Xuan gently pushed the door in, twilight had fallen, the room was quite dim, and he saw the four idiots lying on the couch, covered with a line blanket upwards, the four idiots were already thin, which would be more haggard, the breathing was relatively rapid, and the chest cavity had a "silk" sound when exhaling, and the lobes of the lungs were injured.
Zhou Xuan tiptoed over, wanting to touch the forehead of the fourth idiot, and said in his heart: "Fourth, don't have a fever, it's going to be difficult!" The hand was still three inches away from the forehead of the four idiots, and the left hand of the four idiots, which was originally motionless, flipped over and grabbed Zhou Xuandi's palm.
The four idiots opened their eyes and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhou Xuan said: "What can you do, see if you have a fever?" ”
The four idiots said: "I don't have a fever, I'm not so delicate, I can rest for a night, I can ride a horse tomorrow, and I won't drag down my master." ”
Zhou Xuan said: "How is it a drag! There is no need to rush to save the princess, it is even more important to treat your injuries, you have to be my tea slave for the rest of your life. ”
The four idiots glanced at Zhou Xuan's smiling expression, and somehow suddenly his heart was hot, turned sideways, and turned his back to Zhou Xuan, but he heard the "creak" of the bamboo couch, and Zhou Xuan was sitting on the edge of the bamboo couch.
The four idiots quickly sat up, frowned, and said, "Why did you sit on my bed?" ”
Zhou Xuan said: "There is no chair in this room, of course I sit on the bed." ”
The four idiots said: "I, me, I, you, you-" The four idiots stammered.
Zhou Xuan said: "What me, me, me, you, you, you, you want to say that I am a man, you are a woman, right?" Fourth, didn't we say okay, just act as if nothing happened, I still treat you as a man, but why do you always treat yourself as a woman, and you are estranged from me everywhere, this is not right. ”
The four idiots couldn't argue, and snorted softly, she had asked the plum branch before, and the plum branch said that her ground injury was caused by Zhou Houye helping her wrap the ground, which made the four idiots embarrassed.
Zhou Xuan said again: "I don't know where the third and third sister-in-law are now, it is estimated that it is also in the area from Wu Yue to Qingyuan, if only I could meet the two of them." ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard two crickets chirping from the backyard, and the two people sitting on the bed were in good spirits.
Zhou Xuan said: "Fourth, you rest, I'll catch the cricket for you to play with, and see what level." ”
The four idiots sat on the bed and waited, with misty joy in their hearts, condensed their ears, listened to Zhou Xuan's footsteps, and imagined his actions of catching insects......
