Chapter 45: Please enter the urn

If you want to talk about the place where the teaching gentlemen in Tsinghua Park live, it is really painstaking to pick up, and they are all very exquisite. Walking through flowers and trees, I walked across a small stone bridge, paved with cobblestone paths for about a minute, on the left was a courtyard house with blue bricks and gray tiles peeking out of the low trees, and on the right was a small two-story western-style building.

Supposedly, if these two completely different houses were to sit together, it would be awkward to look at. But with the embellishment of flowers and trees between the two houses, it can make people feel that these two houses should be arranged like this!

Looking into the distance, under the flower trees and beside the small building, there were all learned gentlemen pacing slowly, or bowing their heads and chanting, or holding their heads up and meditating. Even if a person with an arrogant temperament arrives at this place, he must walk lightly and speak in a low voice, for fear of disturbing the beautiful scenery that can only be seen in this calligraphy and painting.

In this picturesque scene, Xiang Youbao, carrying two boxes of Wufangzhai dim sum, stood in front of the house of Ink Plum very woodenly.

It was easy to find the courtyard house where Shui Momei lived in Tsinghua Garden, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was obviously movement in the door, but no one opened the door!

Fortunately, an old gentleman who was a scholar in Tsinghua Garden passed by, pointing to the courtyard house of Ink Mei's house and talking for a long time.

Maybe it's because of her quiet nature, or maybe it's unbearable for outsiders to disturb, after Shui Momei moved into the courtyard in Tsinghua Garden, she set up such a rule early on - prepare pen and ink in front of the door, and visitors must write the couplet in front of the door, and also write the couplet on the door frame on the water sign that can be turned, so that Mr. Shui in the courtyard can first evaluate whether the couplet is neat and then judge whether the handwriting is excellent, so that he can decide whether to open the door or not!

And Mr. Water's couplet is more colorful than others - everyone writes the upper couplet and asks for the lower couplet, but Mr. Water writes the lower couplet for the upper couplet!

Trying to smack his teeth, he almost recited the next link out of the leopard's mouth, but he still couldn't get it right

Half a line of ink painting only paints plums!

It's just a couplet with Mr. Water's name embedded in it, if you want to be right, you have to be able to inlay your name into the couplet, and you have to rhyme!

I don't know how to stuff this couplet into the couplet, and it's going to be a dog

was worrying about his teeth, but a gentle voice came from behind him: "Thank you, borrow a step!" ”

Subconsciously turned around and moved out of the path leading to the courtyard, and when a leopard looked at it, he saw a medium-sized woman with a woman's hair in a bun, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of gentle and obedient women, standing a few steps behind him with a delicate bamboo basket.

Just looked at a few home-cooked side dishes in the bamboo basket, and then looked back at the closed gate of the courtyard, Xiang Youbao immediately said to the woman humbly: "Leave you a step, and ask me, is it Mr. Ink Meishui who lives in this courtyard?" ”

Even if she knew that Xiang Youbao was knowingly asking, the woman who was born gentle and obedient still responded in a harmonious voice: "This is Mr. Shui's house!" Dare you ask if you are"

Put the dim sum in his hand on a lying cow stone on the side of the road, and Xiang Youbao respectfully bowed to the woman: "I am an apprentice in the main gate of the fire Xiang Youbao, yesterday the main gate of the fire was opened, and Mr. Shui also came to congratulate him." According to the rules, today I am on the order of the elders of the main gate of the fire, and I will come to visit Mr. Shui to answer the salute! Mr. Shui has a rule for meeting guests, which I should have followed. But when I said this in Tsinghua Garden, I felt that my mouth was hot, and I didn't read any books."

Looking up and down at Xiang Youbao without moving, the gentle and obedient woman nodded slightly: "This is the rule that Mr. Shui has set since he moved here, and no one has made an exception!" ”

With a tentative tone, Xiang Youbao asked the woman in a respectful voice, "Then you belong to Mr. Shui's family."

A trace of gloom suddenly flashed on her face, and the woman who was born gentle and obedient hesitated for a moment before responding to Xiang Youbao: "I know you want me to help you talk to Mr. Shui, but I only live here with Mr. Shui, and I really can't open my mouth, even if I say it, I can only provoke Mr. Shui to blame me together." I'm really sorry for you."

Nodding slightly towards Xiangyoubao, the gentle and obedient woman walked to the gate of the courtyard with broken steps, took out a key from her waist and opened the door, and walked towards the gate that only opened a gap.

In a hurry, Xiang Youbao hurried to the moment when the woman had not closed the door with his backhand, and hurriedly said to the woman: "Then ask me, do you want Mr. Tushui, the strange beast?" ”

Listening to Xiang Youbao's hurried words, the woman hesitated slightly, but slowly closed the courtyard door.

Listening to the sound of broken footsteps gradually moving away, Xiang Youbao lifted the two boxes of dim sum again, jumped on the lying cow stone, and sat down cross-legged.

It is said that the ability of a scholar is great, but this temperament is also a little out of the circle. If you really leave ordinary people to visit Shui Momei, I'm afraid that you can enter this door, but you can't please Shui Momei's good face, right?

I secretly scolded myself in my heart, but I heard the sound of small footsteps in my ears and walked back to the courtyard gate. As the courtyard door slowly opened, the woman leaned out half of her body and greeted Xiang Youbao who was sitting cross-legged on the Lying Niu Rock and said softly, "Thank you for waiting for a long time!" Mr. Water said, please come in and speak! ”

Jumping down from the Lying Niu Stone, Xiang Youbao politely thanked the woman, and then straightened his body and walked into the courtyard where Shui Momei lived.

In the small courtyard, several bamboo poles are dotted in the corner of the courtyard. Under the shadow of the bamboo, there is a large fish tank that is obviously old, and a few goldfish are frolicking in the meantime.

In the middle of the courtyard, an old grapevine grows along the shelves, and the small slap-like green leaves block the small courtyard, but leave an open space for people to bask in the sun and dry clothes in winter.

In the main room of the hospitality, behind a table of eight immortals enshrines the tablet of the prince of heaven and earth, and three branches of incense are curling Tingting, exuding an elegant fragrance of pine resin. At the door of the east and west wings, the thick blue cloth curtain that had just been hung hung was low, but the private things of the master's house were tightly covered.

With her hands behind her back, Shui Momei stood in front of the square door, squinting at Xiang Youbao, but nodded to Xiang Youbao first, and then said politely: "Poor rules, laughing at the Fang family!" Shui set up this rule, but it is just a closed-door thanks, Shui is only willing to be a fool in the book, and he really doesn't want to waste time on those ushering in. Where you are sluggish, please Haihan! ”

handed the dim sum in his hand to the woman, and Xiang Youbao greeted Shui Momei and made a big gesture: "Mr. Shui is so polite!" Huo Zhengmen Middle School has a leopard, and on the orders of the teacher, he took the liberty to disturb Mr. Shui's purity, and thanked Mr. Water for his gift! ”

When Xiang Youbao's words fell, the smile on Shui Momei's face was obvious, and she slowly picked up Xiang Youbao's words: "On a whim, joking and talking, please atone for my abrupt sin in the main gate of Huoshen!" I take the liberty to ask, the strange beast map that Shui Mou once discussed with Na Jiu Ye doesn't know what Na Jiu Ye thinks about the restoration of this strange beast map, but he is willing to take out the strange beast map to participate in the grand event? ? ”

Seeing the anxiety that couldn't be hidden in Shui Momei's polite smile, Xiang Youbao couldn't help but smile secretly, but his face still maintained a respectful look, and said to Shui Momei in a harmonious voice: "Mr. Huishui's words, that strange beast picture is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in my main gate of fire, and it can be regarded as a thing at the bottom of the box. According to the meaning of our master, it is really inconvenient! ”

With a slight sigh, Shui Momei was stunned for a moment, but sighed again and said: "Originally, the gentleman did not win the love of others, but Shui Mou's heart was still unable to let go of the mind of restoring this strange beast map!" It is necessary to know that the ancient books have been handed down, and if there is a slight mistake, it is an irreparable loss, since your head refuses to cut his love, then Shui can only come to the door to ask for it again! ”

seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the woman who took the dim sum from Xiang Youbao's hand, and hesitated for a moment, but Shui Momei said to the woman with a little blame: "I rashly accepted a generous gift from others, and I am not afraid that people will laugh at my water family for having no rules?" ”

Looking at the woman's embarrassed appearance, Xiang Youbao couldn't help but raise his voice towards Shui Momei and shouted, "I don't know how Mr. Shui plans to come to my senior in charge of the main gate of the fire to ask for help?" I have long heard that Mr. Shui knelt in the wind and snow for three days in order to ask for a tablet, and Mr. Shui also plans to come to the entrance of my fire main gate to do this? ”

turned sideways, but Shui Momei smiled at Xiang Youbao: "Stealing books is not stealing!" In order to do some learning, it is natural to have an infatuation and a hard work! If you can complete your merits in learning, why bend your knees? ”

Rolling his eyes, Xiang Youbao thought for a while, but smiled at Ink Mei Lang: "Mr. Shui, you are asking questions in college, but we are all playing some tricks in the main gate of the fire!" If you really come out like this at the entrance of our Fire Main Gate, then our Fire Main Gate will have to drown the spitting stars in the Sijiu City! When the time comes, one will be helpless."

Her brows tightened suddenly, and Shui Momei hurriedly asked Xiang Youbao, "Why are you helpless?" ”

Putting on a pretended sad look, Xiang Youbao sang and sang well and smiled bitterly at Shui Momei: "I have no choice but to hand over the fragment of the strange beast picture to you, my uncle will definitely be reluctant!" But if you don't give it to you, Wen Quxing is so tired that he kneels in front of the entrance of the main gate of the fire, how much of a sin does this fire main gate have to be? I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will only be a pot of fire, and the fragments of the alien beast diagram will be sent back to the hands of the ancestor of the main gate! ”

Staring at the face of the leopard dumbfounded, Shui Momei was stunned for a long time before she exclaimed: "How can this make that strange beast diagram the treasure of your family, how can it be burned, where will this put the ancestors?!" ”

Sighing deliberately, Xiang Youbao drooped his head, and said listlessly to Shui Momei: "This is really no way?" You only want to do learning here, and you don't ask anything else! As far as my uncle is concerned, the oil and salt next to him don't enter, and he is very stubborn! Nothing is good on weekdays.,I like to gamble with people and fight a trained thing! Last time, I didn't pay attention, so I had to put the entrance of the newly renovated fire main gate into it."

Her eyes lit up suddenly, and Shui Momei hurriedly asked Xiang Youbao: "I have heard for a long time that your sect has a high ability to train living beings, and there is no one who is unsurpassed, but I don't know what your master has been able to train recently?" ”

Still looking like he was going to die, there was a leopard counting with his fingers: "There are just a few fighting scorpions, a few fighting cocks, and some dogs, cows, eagles and rats and the like, it just happened a while ago that I got two ink monkeys!" ”

Hearing the word ink monkey, Shui Momei's eyes lit up: "Oh, I don't know that your head also got two ink monkeys?" The two ink monkeys in Shui's hands have been trained for several years, and they do have a bit of spirituality, I don't know how they compare? If you use the picture of a strange beast as a note, it is also an elegant thing to let these two pairs of ink monkeys talk about each other, I don't know what your intentions are? ”
