Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Gentleman Can Be Deceived
Drinking the high jasmine tea that Nalan just bought, and eating coarse noodles with small sauce and radish, although it is just a home-cooked meal for a small family in Old Beiping, there is a leopard but it is still eaten sweetly.
Swallowing the fourth coarse noodle nest, Xiang Youbao swept the coarse noodle residue on the placket, raised his hand and threw it into his mouth, and then rinsed his mouth with a bowl of fragrant hot tea, and then sighed with satisfaction: "This meal is breakfast and lunch are all put together, but it is also simple and hungry!" ”
Holding half a bowl of hot tea, Na Jiuye, who barely ate a three-point full, frowned, looking like he didn't know the taste of food: "What can I do if someone else comes to open this mouth, and if you don't care about it, you can always prevaricate." But this Mr. Water is not easy to use! ”
Stretched out his hand and threw a piece of small sauce radish into his mouth, Xiang Youbao chewed the small sauce radish with taste, and smiled at Na Jiuye in surprise: "Uncle Shi, tell me in detail, why is this Mr. Shui so difficult to deal with?" I just listened to what you said to Mr. Shui, it seems like here."
Glancing at Xiang Youbao, Na Jiuye snorted angrily: "Isn't this something that your master came up with?" Back then, your master had to leave Sijiu City after the accident, but the city gate cave was full of swordsmen, and there were some bannermen and big families guarding the courtyard, just waiting to take your master to get angry! It was the elders of Mr. Shui's family who looked at your master and was a capable character, and when he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, he sandwiched your master in the waterwheel that went to Yuquan Mountain to fetch water every day at his house and went out of the city! ”
Opened his mouth wide in surprise, and Xiang Youbao suddenly showed an expression of disbelief: "Go to Yuquan Mountain every day to fetch water? How big is that score in this Mr. Shui's house? ”
Still not angry at all, Na Jiu Ye raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City: "This Mr. Shui's family is a noble family, a serious and famous scholar in Sijiu City. I heard from the old people that when the Qing Dynasty was fought in the past, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty sitting in the Forbidden City sent someone to invite the ancestors of Mr. Shui's family to go out of the mountain and be a teacher for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! The teacher of the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty wants to do the work that many people want to do when they break their heads, but the ancestors of Mr. Shui's family say that they will not go! ”
As if to say it, Na Jiuye drank half a bowl of hot tea in one go, and then wiped his lips and continued: "I heard that in the palace back then, a great nobleman went to Mr. Shui's ancestor's house with a cart of gold and silver and a ghost-headed knife, and asked Mr. Shui to choose one first. Guess what-Mr. Shui's family immediately asked the whole family to bathe and change clothes and braids, and dozens of people in the family stood in front of the ghost head knife with brushes! ”
After taking a small bite and eating most of the thick noodles, Nalan who was sitting on the side seemed to have heard this story countless times, and said angrily to Na Jiuye, who was talking about it, with a little complaint: "Look at you, as soon as you talk about those old things, it's not over."
Towards Nalan who had a somewhat resentful appearance, Na Jiuye seemed to be used to being counted by his daughter, and he didn't take Nalan's resentment seriously at all, so he turned his head and said to himself: "The Great Qing Kingdom back then, it was the years when there was no hair and no hair. How many well-known scholars in Shannan, Haibei and Haibei immediately shaved their hair and became officials of the Great Qing Kingdom when they saw the big blades and maces in the hands of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty? There are really not many people who can have this kind of blood and energy! ”
Nodding vigorously, Xiang Youbao echoed Na Jiuye's words and said: "Or maybe it's all said in the old way - every time you slaughter dogs, you are more likely to be a scholar?!" It is rare for a scholar to have such courage and blood! ”
slapped his thigh hard, and Na Jiuye almost slapped the tea bowl in his other hand on the table as a shocking wood: "Who said it wasn't?!" Don't mention the ancestors of Mr. Shui's family, just talk about Mr. Shui himself - how many big officials in Beiyang and the Republic of China came to the door in a foreign car and a citi ticket to beg Mr. Shui to go out of the mountain to be a cleaner and an official, and Mr. Shui said that he would not go if he died! I heard that the deputy official under Beiyang Duan Qirui was also holding a citi ticket and a box cannon in front of Mr. Shui, guess what Mr. Water said? Mr. Water said, "
As if deliberately trying to interrupt Na Jiuye's bragging, Nalan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly picked up Na Jiuye's words: "Mr. Shui said - the ancestors were not afraid of axes and axes back then, but how are our descendants afraid of foreign guns?" ”
Just like the poet was preemptively read out of the poem when he was chanting a poem, Na Jiuye held it in his throat in one breath, choked violently, and struggled to point his finger at Nalan who couldn't help laughing while coughing: "My daughter, you're coughing and coughing to kill your father, aren't you?" ”
Stretched out his hand and patted Na Jiuye's back lightly and heavily, and Xiang Youbao also looked like a puffer: "Senior sister, you are too good at picking the time!" Didn't you see Uncle Shi talking about it here? It's good that you let Uncle Shi finish speaking."
Glancing at Xiang Youbao, Nalan got up and cleaned up the table, and complained in a strange whisper: "I have said it seven or eight hundred times, and every time I say it, I have to add fuel and vinegar and go absurd, if you can really say a good one, then you can simply go to the overpass and set up a scene!" ”
It was easy to calm his breath, and Na Jiuye vomited with Nalan like an enraged child: "I'll just say it!" Mr. Nasu."
After pouring a bowl of tea for Na Jiuye, Xiang Youbao glanced at Nalan who was about to open his mouth to raise the bar with Na Jiuye, and smiled at Na Jiuye's words: "What is Mr. Shui doing now?" ”
After drinking a few sips of tea to stabilize his mind, Na Jiuye gasped and responded: "A few years ago, the sign of National Tsinghua University was just hung up, but Mr. Shui was just a few old friends who did learning, and he applied for a professor's position in National Tsinghua University, specializing in teaching ancient Chinese!" I heard that Mr. Shui always stepped on the clock to enter the lecture hall in class, and left as soon as the bell rang after class, and never paid attention to those students. I also heard that Mr. Shui has never married a wife in his life, and he said that he did not admit that the family was dead, and the girls who were engaged to him came to his house to serve Mr. Shui's wife for more than 20 years, and they didn't have a name, just like an old mother. I've heard that there are no round houses."
Seeing that Na Jiu Ye had already pulled the topic out of the clouds, Xiang Youbao hurriedly interrupted Na Jiu Ye's nagging: "Then according to what you say, Uncle Shi, this Mr. Shui is just a teacher!" He came to the door to ask for the fragment of this strange beast picture, and we said that we would not give it if we died, so we would send it away? ”
Glancing at Xiang Youbao, Na Jiuye shook his head vigorously: "Can it be so easy to deal with, what worry am I still worried about your uncle?" This Mr. Shui is all good, and he is more serious about one thing - but all the ancient books and ancient books that he has his eye on, it must be enjoyed no matter what! Just the year before last, this Mr. Shui didn't know who he was listening to, there was a big family in Nanyuan who hid a pair of tablets, and they went to the door to ask for a look at the tablets. Seeing that people don't give it a look, the weather in the tenth winter wax moon, Mr. Shui was stunned to be able to kneel at the door of that big family for two days and two nights! ”
His eyes widened in surprise, and Xiang Youbao smacked his tongue and asked, "What about later?" ”
slapped the table hard, and Na Jiuye's appearance really looked like a gentleman telling stories in a teahouse: "Later, it was even more evil!" Mr. Shui's daughter-in-law, who he didn't recognize, also followed, and seeing that Mr. Shui, who was already half frozen to death, couldn't pull it alive or dead, the girl was also desperate, so she knelt down and knelt for another day and night! Later, the big family saw that this was going to kill someone, so they had to open the middle door, put Mr. Shui who was about to freeze to death, and then arranged for Mr. Shui to live in their study, and read the inscription for seven days and seven nights! ”
Pointing to the gate of his courtyard, Na Jiuye, who was too addicted, suddenly became sad: "I'm not afraid of anyone else, I'm afraid that when this Mr. Shui comes back, he will kneel at the door of our house if he doesn't say a word!" It doesn't take much for such a university scholar to kneel at the door of our house, in half an hour, the spittle stars in Sijiu City can drown me alive! ”
Rolling his eyes, Xiang Youbao took a few sips of tea with a tea bowl, and said thoughtfully to Na Jiuye: "But Uncle Shi, don't worry about this Mr. Shui's thoughts about the fragment of the alien beast map in our hand." I heard from Mr. Shui just now that he also has a fragment of a strange beast diagram in his hand? And what kind of ink monkeys? ”
Turning his head and glaring at Xiang Youbao, Na Jiuye smiled coldly at Xiang Youbao with a somewhat mocking look: "What kind of crooked idea are you thinking about again?" To tell you the truth, the ancient books and ancient books that can be collected in Mr. Shui's study, I have never heard of an inch of paper flowing out again! Let's talk about the pair of ink monkeys, which is also the life of the water first! I heard that a Guangxi student who Mr. Shui had taught to honor Mr. Shui, so I thought that Mr. Shui could teach more knowledge. Coincidentally, Mr. Shui, who is so oily and salty on weekdays, couldn't move his legs when he saw the pair of ink monkeys, and taught that student seven more lessons! ”
Smacking his lips, Xiang Youbao held the tea bowl in his hand and slowly swayed, as if he remembered something: "I heard the master mention that the ink monkey is only available in Yangshuo and Wuyi Mountain in Guangxi!" If you really want to make a fuss about this ink monkey for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to find this rare thing in these four or nine cities."
Rolling his eyelids, Na Jiu Ye snorted angrily: "Your master really taught you a little bit of everything?!" I understand to tell you - in addition to the pair of ink monkeys in Mr. Shui's hands in Sijiu City, there is also a group of jugglers who have served a cartilaginous monkey at the overpass, and they can vaguely have the appearance of the ink monkey."
His eyes lit up, and Xiang Youbao suddenly came to his senses: "Cartilaginous monkey? ”
Drooping his eyelids, Na Jiu Ye replied listlessly: "I just expect to take the cartilage monkey to compare with the pair of ink monkeys in Mr. Shui's hand!" The training method of the cartilage monkey is mysterious, but it can be understood that it is the same thing - take the monkey cub who has just shed the fetal hair, wash the body for nine days with the prepared potion, and then feed it with some medicinal herbs, the monkey will never grow up again, and it looks a little like the appearance of the ink monkey, in the past, some people took the cartilage monkey trained by this method to sell it as the ink monkey, which really deceived many players! ”
Almost in front of Na Jiuye's eyes, Xiang Youbao stretched his neck and asked, "What about later?" What's the stuffing? ”
Glancing at the leopard, Na Jiuye stood up angrily: "That medicinal herb is too domineering, and the monkeys who are waiting for it are even soft to the bones, and it is difficult to feed them for three months!" Besides, the bones are soft, not to mention grinding ink, and even feeding has to be delivered to the mouth, how can it compare to the awakening of the real ink monkey? ”
grabbed Na Jiuye's arm, Xiang Youbao stared at Na Jiuye with bright eyes and smiled: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, I have a way to deal with this Mr. Shui!" ”
