Chapter 19 Markets
Zhang Baiyi escaped far enough and stopped, panting and looking behind, only to find that no one was chasing him.
At this time, Young Master Zhang realized that he didn't know where Master Xu's family lived?
Let's find someone to ask first, and make up your mind Zhang Baiyi walked to the lively street market,
"Wash the pot cleanly, there is less water, and the firewood can't smoke. Don't urge him when he is familiar with himself, and he is beautiful when he is full. Huangzhou is a good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt. Selling pork - good pork in Huangzhou! "On a pork stall, a strong man chanted limericks and shouted loudly.
"Night rain cut spring leeks, new cooking room sorghum, leeks, fresh leeks,"
"The peach and plum in the city are sad about the wind and rain, and the spring is in the brook head cauliflower, and the best shepherd's cauliflower,"
In front of a shop selling cloth and clothes, there is a poem that reads: Dare to praise the ten fingers for their skill, and do not draw long eyebrows. I hate to press the gold thread year after year, and make wedding clothes for others.
A peddler who bought grapes was even more skilled, wearing a cloth coat, standing in front of the grape stall and chanting loudly: "Baihu pearl is rich, clear and green." Xiao is suspenseful, and the dew picks love to taste first. The color reflects the golden plate fruit, and the fragrant jade bowl pulp. If you don't work hard, you can always enter the king. ”
"Little brother, are your grapes sweet?"
"The basket is full of round and solid beads, and the entrance is sweet and icy. If Wenyuan knows this, Reva should not beg for gold. ”
"Is it really as good as you say? Do you quench your thirst with grapes? ”
"Who will cool off the wind window ice bowl? Remember hundreds, stacked at the plate. Stop Ying Ying's coquettish words. Light and crystal clear, fragrant and fresh round bloom, small pick West Mountain rain. ”
"Did you grow the grapes yourself?"
"The vines, covering the front eaves, are full of pearls and gardens. Race over 300 lychees, Dawan flavor Hanjia smoke. ”
"But it's not the season for grapes, brother, how did you grow it?"
"I have my own plan, tearing cotton cloth, gathering soil, and eating it even if it is not in season,"
Zhang Baiyi was secretly frightened when he heard this, it was difficult to find that there was already a greenhouse cultivation technology now, and it seemed that the ancient people were not some dead scholars.
"Okay, bring me a tael of silver first,"
"Bang-bang-bang-"
The sound of a gong,
"Get out of the car and go to the supermarket, the sun is shining. The cold west wind blows, and the melodious music is transmitted. "A street performer shouted loudly,
At this time, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked under a big tree, sat down, and had a piano in front of her.
"Looking for the sound will turn three times, and I will see the remnants in the distance. Sit in the wind at the bottom of the tree, dressed and peaceful. Five fingers plucked six strings, full of clear ears. Playing and singing," a man in his forties continued to chant loudly,
Look at the appearance, it should be to the father and daughter,
"Ding-" The woman plucked the strings and sang: "In the past, I went back, the willows are still in the past, and now I am here, the rain and snow are glamouring, those who know me are worried, those who don't know me are worried, those who don't know me, what do I want, those who know me, say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want......"
The jade hand was frivolous, and I saw that the Qianqian jade finger was playing quickly on the strings, and the sound of the piano was euphemistic and continuous, like flowing water in the empty valley, flowing slowly,
"Heaven and earth are long, my heart is long, this life is endless, there is no other thing to ask for, I can't ask for it, I can't give it up, he will be born in the next life, and he will be born endlessly in the next life."
The singing is like flowing water, which makes people worry, but they are intoxicated.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
As soon as the gong sounded, the middle-aged man chanted loudly: "A bowl of piano is in front of it, thousands of people pass in front of it, how many leaning over? There is nothing in the bowl, sporadically shiny. Qian Shao is not a relation, and he sings loudly when he talks and laughs. Tao Ran came here not only to make a living. ”
Everyone in the audience listened generously and put some loose silver into the bowl,
Zhang Baiyi continued to walk deeper into the street,
"Childe, I see that you have heavenly bones on your forehead, there is spiritual light in your eyes, the reincarnation of immortals, the immortals descend to earth, and a wave of righteousness ripples between your eyebrows. Childe, you are a rich and noble person! An old fortune teller stopped in front of Zhang Baiyi, stared at Zhang Baiyi's face and said,
Nonsense, Young Master Ben was born a rich second generation, isn't it a rich body, you charlatan, Young Master Ben has seen a lot in his last life, Young Master Zhang is too lazy to take care of him, and walked around him,
"Don't move, although I have leaked the secret of heaven, and the catastrophe is inevitable, but this is my fate, even if I have to risk the sky, I will show you the full picture." The fortune teller is unrelenting,
, Zhang Baiyi ignored him and walked away,
The fortune teller looked at Zhang Baiyi's departing back and said to himself, this son is born rebellious, and I am afraid that he will stir up a storm when he grows up.
"Young man, I see that you have a clear bones and excellent bones, and you will have some immortal deeds in the future, I don't know ......" The fortune teller stopped a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy and started his next client.
Zhang Baiyi left the fortune-telling stall and asked an old woman who was buying vegetables about Xu Youji's home.
Bending into a narrow winding alley, Zhang Baiyi stood in front of a house.
It was a three-room thatched house, so short that Zhang Baiyi's tall man had almost touched the eaves.
It can be seen that because it is too old, it resembles a hunchbacked frail old man, and it is in danger of collapsing at any time. The door panel has rotted a few pieces.
Two small windows on the mud wall are clogged with broken mats and grass. The whole courtyard is in remarkable decay.
The wood is moth-eaten and old to gray. Many roofs look like a sieve. Some of them have no roof visible except for the rafters, and there are a few rungs in between, like ribs on a skeleton.
…… The windows are stuffed with pieces of cloth or rags. The small terrace with a railing under the eaves, I don't know why,...... But they were all slanted, old, and even the paint was peeling off cleanly.
"Master Xu, Master Xu," Zhang Baiyi called twice at the door,
No one responded,
As soon as Master Zhang pushed the door, the doorrail opened by itself, and Zhang Baiyi walked towards a room.
Pushing open the door, a pungent smell of medicine jars rushed to my face,
"Cough-cough-" Young Master Zhang choked and coughed, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves,
In the dim light of the room, you can clearly see the yellowed walls and a few simple and dilapidated furniture, the corners of the room are covered with cobwebs, the table is dusty, there are a few furnishings on it, and the room is empty, cramped, and dark......
"Who!" A man on the shabby little bed suddenly moved when he heard the sound,
"Hello, may I ask if this is Xu Youji's home?" Zhang Baiyi covered his mouth and nose and asked,
"Yes, you are?" The old woman on the bed looked at Zhang Baiyi and asked suspiciously,
In my heart, I thought that this old thing was drinking outside again, and people came to the house to ask for wine money.
"You should be the teacher, I am Zhang Baiyi, a student of Master Xu, you can call me Bai Yi," Zhang Baiyi put down the sleeve that covered his mouth and nose, although the smell was unpleasant, but it was always inappropriate to talk to people and cover his face,
"Oh, you are the eldest young master of that rich family, quick, please take a seat," the old woman Xu hurriedly beckoned Zhang Baiyi to sit down,
Young Master Zhang looked at the chair full of dust, and felt that he couldn't sit or stand.
"He went out to buy medicine for me, and he is probably coming back soon, you can wait a minute," the old woman saw Zhang Baiyi's embarrassment and did not invite Zhang Baiyi to sit again.
Zhang Baiyi was about to say something.
"Squeak-la-" The door was pushed open, and Xu Youji walked in with two packets of medicine.
Seeing Zhang Baiyi, he was stunned at first,
Zhang Baiyi hurriedly bowed and said, "The student has seen Master Xu,"
"Why are you here," Xu Youji stared at Zhang Baiyi and asked,
"Student," Zhang Baiyi was just about to open his mouth to speak,
"Come out and say it!" Xu Youji put down the two medicine bags and turned around and walked out of the door,
Zhang Baiyi also followed out of the room,
"The student knew that he had made Master Xu angry, so he came to apologize today," Zhang Baiyi said very sincerely.
"You're not wrong, you don't have to apologize, it's the old man who knows that his knowledge is shallow, and he still needs to study hard, but he can't teach you, you have such a bottom-out at a young age, and your future is limitless," Xu Youji said very frankly, "Qiantang Academy will enroll students in the near future, if you want to continue to study, you can go to Qiantang Academy to register,"
"Also, this letter is handed over to my father, this is a letter for the teacher to recommend you to study in Qiantang Middle Academy, the director of Qiantang Middle School was a classmate and friend of the old man, you give him the letter of recommendation, he will definitely arrange for you." Xu Fuzi said as he took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Zhang Baiyi, "You and I have finished the fate of master and apprentice, and I can only help you get here!" ”
"A teacher for a day, a teacher for life, students thank Master Xu," Zhang Baiyi took the letter and gave a deep salute to Xu Youji,
It was nearly evening when Zhang Baiyi said goodbye to Master Xu,
