Chapter 54: The Story
More than ten days passed after Wang Dali returned to the Tang Mansion to live, and there was no news of the General's Mansion or the Princess's Mansion, and the discussion in the city slowly subsided. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Dali has been happy all day long since he was with Lan Jun, Lan Jun only has a lover in his eyes and doesn't ask anything else, only Tang Xu is still occasionally worried about whether Li Yu is holding back some big moves.
However, early one morning, Tang Xu waited for not a new problem from Li Yu, but a news that surprised everyone, the princess of Xihe was married, it is said that he was married to the leader of a new side branch of the rising force of Tuo Sima, and Wang Dali also received an order to serve as the commander of the family sending team.
Wang Dali was originally very grateful to Li Yu for not pursuing the matter of annoying the princess, and often thought about repaying it. can think of separating from Lan Jun, and some children have grown up. Lan Jun saw that he was reluctant, and naturally he was also reluctant, and wanted to go with the team, but Wang Dali felt that it was inappropriate, so he struggled again and again, so he could only let him stay in the Tang Mansion and wait for his return.
Separation is imminent, the days always pass very quickly, and in the last few days, Wang Dali is also busy with things that rarely return home, Lan Jun is sad and doesn't want to say sad words, Tang Xu can only comfort and comfort him more, there is no other way.
The day came, Wang Dali led the team to send off his relatives, a group of hundreds of people out of the West City Gate, now it is almost past the beginning of autumn, the weather in the north is getting colder and colder, the soldiers who have time to rest are busy rubbing their hands one by one, Wang Dali is wearing the sheepskin jacket that Lan Jun stayed up all night to sew for him before leaving, not only the body is warm, but the heart is even hotter.
A few days after Wang Dali left, Lan Jun was still busy with Tang Xu in the medical hall, and he sewed some clothes and shoes in his spare time. Tang Xu recently found a fun place, a new restaurant opened on the street, some people in it tell stories, although they are all made up ghost stories, but they are interesting, there are many listeners, Tang Xu often goes to drink tea and listen to stories.
On this day, Tang Xu went to listen again, talking about the legend of the White Snake. Tang Xu told others at the beginning that he knew this story, and he also said a little detail while waiting, which meant to show off, and others were surprised when they heard it. As a result, this white snake is not the legend of the white snake, it is really two demon snakes who turned into human forms and harmed ordinary people, and were finally subdued by the monks. After the story was over, Tang Xu was not only depressed, but also felt very embarrassed, the people next to him didn't laugh at him, and said that the legend of the White Snake that Dr. Tang said was more interesting, and if it could be written into a booklet and talked about, it would definitely be very popular. Tang Xu only comforted himself and left the restaurant dejectedly, but he didn't realize that he had been targeted since he was still in the restaurant. The man not only set his sights on Tang Xu, but also followed him all the way back to the Tang Mansion, and only revealed his true identity when Tang Xu was about to cover the door.
"Who are you?" Tang Xu was stunned. It was a man, not tall or young, with two beards, dressed in coarse cloth clothes and stepping on a pair of old thick-soled black cloth shoes.
"You're Dr. Tang, right?" The man bowed to Tang Xu, Tang Xu hurriedly said yes, and returned the salute.
"You're here to see a doctor? Inside please. Tang Xu thought it was a patient seeking medical treatment, and immediately opened the door for him. The man didn't deny it, thanked him and went in with Tang Xu. Tang Xu invited him to sit in the consultation hall, and Lan Jun came over to ask, but the man said that he didn't come to see a doctor, but just asked for something. Since he was not seeing a doctor, Tang Xu took him aside and sat down again, giving up the consultation position, while Lan Jun continued to take the pulse and prescribe prescriptions for the others.
"Doctor Tang, Zai Bucai, surnamed Lu Mingxiu, is a storyteller." Lu Xiu said.
"It turned out to be a writer, disrespectful and disrespectful." Tang Xu has always admired the ability to speak and write, and his compositions have hovered on the edge of the passing line from childhood to adulthood.
"If you don't enter the stream, you really don't dare to be it." Lu Xiu was ashamed.
"And what are you looking for me?" Tang Xu was curious about what a book writer was looking for? Do you want to write a biography of yourself? Ouch, that's embarrassing, and I don't have anything to write about. Tang Xu was fanciful there, but Lu Xiu was also a little embarrassed.
"Dr. Tang just went to Yuelaiju, right?" Lu Xiu rubbed his mouth. Yuelaiju is the restaurant that Tang Xu likes to go to to listen to stories recently. Tang Xu nodded, waiting for him to continue.
"I'm ashamed to say that the books that the storyteller said in Yuelai Curie recently are all written below." Lu Xiu smiled, and Tang Xu was taken aback.
"It turns out that you wrote those stories, they are well written, I like them very much, and I listen to them every day." Tang Xu instantly lost his brother's upper body, entangled in whether to let him sign his name as a souvenir or something.
"Dr. Tang praised it falsely." Lu Xiu hurriedly shook his head, then looked at Tang Xu, and stopped talking.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me." After talking for so long, Lu Xiu still didn't show his intentions, it seemed like there was something unspeakable.
"Recently, there have been fewer people coming to Yuelaiju to listen to books, probably because the stories I write are boring and boring." Lu Xiu seemed to be talking to herself, a little depressed. Tang Xu hurriedly comforted him, and said that he didn't think there was a decrease in people. But whether there is less or not, Tang Xu doesn't know, he doesn't care.
"That's right, I came to find you, Dr. Tang, also for me to write a book." Lu Xiuxiang made up her mind, and her expression became serious. Tang Xu is very strange, he can't write novels, why did he come to him?
"When Dr. Tang was listening to the book just now, I was right behind you, and I heard all the stories you told other guests. Dr. Tang's story was much more interesting than mine, and Lu Xiu was deeply ashamed. That's why I took the liberty to come, if Dr. Tang is willing, can you tell me more, I can also change the book to be more interesting. Lu Xiu said.
"This..." Tang Xu didn't expect Lu Xiu's intention at all, the plot he said was all seen on TV, what's so rare? Then I felt that I was stupid, and there was no legend of the New White Lady in ancient times, and it was normal that they hadn't heard of it. However, someone came to let him speak, which made him a little nervous. Lu Xiu didn't understand his thoughts, he just thought he was unwilling, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to leave.
"Brother Lu, don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to speak well and make you laugh." Tang Xu said busily. When Lu Xiu heard this, it was too late to be happy, how could he think that he couldn't tell it well, so he quickly sat down again and waited for Tang Xu's story.
"Doctor Tang, don't be busy, let's find a clean place." Tang Xu was about to speak, but Lu Xiu stopped him. Tang Xu didn't understand, but it didn't matter where he was, so he took Lu Xiu into the backyard and made a pot of tea, so he recalled the plot of the TV series and told Lu Xiu a story.
However, Tang Xu watched the TV series when he was very young, and his storytelling ability was not particularly good, so he only picked some memorable episodes to tell Lu Xiu, such as Xu Xian's previous life saved the white snake, the white snake looked for Xu Xian to repay his kindness under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Fahai bewitched Xu Xian to become a monk, the white snake and the green snake flooded the golden mountain, etc., and there was no lack of cutting corners, Tang Xu was a little weak-hearted, but Lu Xiu listened to it with relish, and it was not until the sun went down that he thanked Tang Xu for his resignation. After Tang Xu sent him away, he drank two pots of tea in a row and told stories all afternoon, and his throat was already smoking, but it was a good thing to make Lu Xiu return satisfied. Moreover, this afternoon also made Tang Xu very happy and had a sense of accomplishment. It's fun to tell a story, but the key is that someone is willing to listen, which is the biggest encouragement for storytellers.
"Tang Gongzi, what did that person do when he came to you during the day?" Lan Jun packed up his things and returned to the inner courtyard, while Tang Xu was still resting in the courtyard.
"Listen to my story." Tang Xu replied. Lan Jun's eyes widened in disbelief, and Tang Xu told him everything about Lu Xiu coming to find him.
"I didn't expect Tang Gongzi to tell people stories, what kind of story is so moving? I'd like to hear about it, too. Lan Jun looked at Tang Xu with anticipation, Tang Xu said okay, and then told Lan Jun again what he had told Lu Xiu, but this time he spoke more carefully than the first time, and the description was clearer, Lan Jun was fascinated by it, and when Tang Xu finished speaking, Lan Jun had tears in his eyes.
"The White Lady is really a strange woman, and Xu Guanren is also a blessing from several generations of cultivation to be able to tie the knot with her." Lan Jun sighed.
"This is called fate, as if you are with a strong force." Tang Xu didn't want him to be too sentimental, so he quipped. Lan Jun's face turned red, but then he was a little depressed.
"Want to be vigorous?" Tang Xu asked him, and Lan Jun nodded lightly. It's been half a month since I left, and I don't know where I am now.
"Don't worry, Dali is going to send off relatives, and it will be fine." Tang Xu explained, Lan Jun nodded again, but the worried look did not subside, Tang Xu felt that no matter how much comfort he had, it might be useless, and the lovesickness between the two places could only be cured if they were reunited.
Tang Xu and Lan Jun lived a dull life in Lanzhou City, and the family sending team also passed through the fourteen days peacefully under the leadership of Wang Dali. In another day, they will join the welcoming procession.
At noon that day, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the wind and sand were so overwhelming that people could not open their eyes, and the king vigorously told everyone to stop and rest on the spot, and the attendants also took out things to block the wind and surrounded the princess's chariot, so that she would not be disturbed.
"What's wrong?" Xi and the princess poked their heads out of the car, and the entourage said that the wind was blowing, and they couldn't go. Princess Xi and Princess Xi didn't say anything, lowered the curtain and went back to sit in the carriage.
Wang Dali has hardly met with the princess these days, he leads the team in front, and the princess also has special people to serve. The wind was blowing so hard that Wang Dali was forced to get off his horse and lean to the princess's carriage to shield himself from the sand.
"I thought you would hide from me for the rest of your life." Xi and the princess said through the curtain of the carriage, and Wang Dali didn't say anything as if he hadn't heard it.
"My father said that I am strong, I am strong, I want you to marry me, and now I am also determined to marry so far away, in case of war, I am afraid that I will never see my father again in my life." Princess Xi and the princess said lightly, Wang Dali frowned, but still did not say anything.
"But it's okay, I don't have to see you again, and I won't be sad anymore." When Princess Xihe said this, Wang Dali sighed, and he said Why do you bother.
