Chapter 10: Fragrance of a Hundred Miles

The next day, everyone left early after breakfast, leaving only a few miscellaneous servants in the valley of the hundred grasses. After all, everyone is a child, except for the flawless and depressed, everyone is happy and extremely excited.

Hua Qingxi sat on a sika deer, smiled and looked around at everyone, and sighed: "Hey, the years have passed, maybe I'm really old, and I'm getting too lazy to move, I remember the last time I went out of the valley, it was four years ago, when I tried to move." ”

Hua Wuhuan said: "Master, your old man is still very young, he doesn't look old at all, and he will definitely live a long life in the future." ”

Hua Qingxi stroked her beard happily and said, "Just your little girl's mouth is sweet." ”

Wushou pursed his lips disdainfully, and whispered to Wushuang: "This little girl will pat Master's ass and make Master happy." ”

Hearing this, Wushuang laughed. When Wu Idiot heard this, he immediately asked: "What's so funny about this, you actually laugh out loud?" Wushuang said teasingly: "I'm laughing at Senior Brother, thinking about someone everywhere, I guess Senior Brother has been poisoned." ”

Wu Idiot knew it, blushed in annoyance, turned around and ignored Wushuang anymore, and went to talk about the topic of 'men' to Nameless.

Hua Qingxi was in a complicated mood, and said to everyone: "This time, your senior brother and Princess Tianxiang can tie the knot, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad for the teacher, and there will definitely be people from the Wuwu Palace and Lingxu Mountain at that time, the younger generation of disciples under them are becoming squeamish, you must avoid conflicts with them, try to be patient in everything, don't hurt the harmony." ”

A group of disciples hurriedly bowed their heads and said yes, Hua Wufang heard everyone talking about the marriage of the senior brother, and the mood was suddenly not good. Keeping his head down and hurrying silently, he saw Flawless with no regrets, stepped forward, and whispered to Flawless: "Senior sister, don't care too much, maybe Senior Brother will change his mind when he sees your infatuation for him." ”

Hua Wufang smiled faintly and said, "Senior sister, don't persuade me anymore, I've been thinking about it almost these days." If he really likes the princesses, then I should bless them instead of embarrassing him. Okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable for a while, and I'll be fine in a while. Let's go quickly, we can't see them anymore. After saying that, he smiled at the unrepentant and went first. Hua Wuregret frowned and quickly followed.

It is the early summer season, although the morning is still very refreshing, but the morning fog clears the weather gradually gets hot, along the way everyone is not in a hurry, the scenery along the way is beautiful, see everyone can not help but feel relaxed, especially the people who have never been out of the valley without regrets, but are even more happy. Hua Qingxi said to everyone: "Let's hurry up, we can get to Muke Village in the middle of the day, there is a wine shop there, the years are long, I don't know if it is still there." When I was young, every time I passed by there, I would have a drink, and the taste was still unforgettable. ”

Hua Wuming was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "This is very good, I have walked all morning, but I am also thirsty." "Let's take a big stride. Everyone walked the road for a while, all felt hungry and thirsty, although still talking and laughing, but speeding up the pace, just after noon, they came to the wine shop that Hua Qingxi said, and saw the straight road from a distance, lonely and cold standing a wine banner, the wine banner was written with a big 'wine' word, swaying slightly with the breeze.

Hua Wuming pouted and said, "There is nothing peculiar, I don't know why the master will never forget." Hua Qingxi smiled without saying a word, stroked his beard, and walked first. When he got closer, his nameless eyes suddenly lit up, his nose twitched, and he said: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, I've been drunk for three minutes before I drank it, and what the master said is really true." He walked into the wine shop first and said loudly: "Restaurant, hurry up and bring your good wine to quench our thirst with us." Xiao Er, who had already greeted him, led everyone to the table, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you are in a hurry, hurry up and sit down and rest for a while, and the good wine will come soon." ”

Hua Qingxi said to the little second: "Little second brother, let's put the 'Baili Fragrance' in the store with us, and then serve us some light dishes and a few steamed buns." Xiao Er nodded and replied: "Okay, you wait, the thing will be completed soon." ”

In the interval between the shopkeepers and the second serving, everyone surrounded the wine shop for a week, only to see that although the wine shop was not large, it was full of famous drinkers and passers-by. On the fragrant wine, everyone chatted and talked, noisy, so lively, everyone in the wine shop was chatting and drinking, and suddenly saw the Baicao Valley group, especially the beautiful women such as flawless and unrepentant, and their eyes could not be taken back for a long time. Flawless glared at everyone, and all the drinkers were weak-hearted, and they all bowed their heads and drank, not daring to make a mistake.

In a moment, Xiao Er filled the square table with wine and a variety of dishes, and at the moment of fine wine, Hua Wuming filled a glass for himself first, drank it all, pursed his lips, looked intoxicated and forgetful, put down the wine glass, and exclaimed: "It's really good wine, good wine." Then he filled himself with a cup. When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a smile: "That's nature, this store has been around for a hundred years, and the good wine in the store is brewed by ancestral secret method, using the sweet spring water in the back mountain, which is no better than others." Objectively, if you like to drink, drink more, this wine is small, and it will not miss the guest officer's footsteps. ”

Hua Qingxi smiled and stroked his beard, and said, "What a clever mouth that can speak well." Wait for me to bring another altar, and these silver taels will be rewarded for this clever mouth. When Hua Wuya heard this, he hurriedly took out some silver taels from his sleeve and handed them to Xiao Er. Xiao Er was even more flattering when he got the silver reward, and he responded to the promise and happily transferred to the back kitchen.

All the disciples tasted the wine one after another, and they were full of praise, Wushuang had no habit of drinking in his previous life, and he felt that the wine was very delicious, and even the female disciples drank a few more glasses.

When everyone was drinking and eating, they listened to the drinkers at the next table, talking about the strange anecdotes that had happened recently, and everyone had never left the valley, and they all spent their days in the mountains to cultivate, and they knew little about foreign affairs, and they all listened attentively.

But he heard a person at the side table: "Brother Xian came back from Guoxiang City this time, but there are some novelties to tell Brother Fool." When the man next to him heard this, he hurriedly put down his wine glass and said, "Brother Du wants to talk about this novelty, there is really one thing in Guoxiang City, that is, Princess Tianxiang regretted marrying Nangong Yan, the prince of the southern country, and marrying the Guoshi Mansion Flower Sleepless." As soon as Hua Wufang heard that it was about Hua Wumian, he immediately listened attentively, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The man surnamed Du hurriedly said: "Princess Tianxiang has been married to Nangong Yan, the prince of Nanli Country, since she was a child, in order to stop the war, in exchange for more than ten years of peace, this matter is well known, and there was a marriage book that was stamped with the Great Seal of Nanli Country back then, seeing that the wedding date is approaching, how can she temporarily remarry someone in the Guoshi Mansion?"

The man took a sip of the glass of wine and said, "Who said it wasn't, but the younger brother heard the rumors in the market, and some people said that Princess Tianxiang fell in love with Hua Wumian at first sight, and she secretly promised to marry Hua Wumian openly regardless of the marriage contract." However, there are still rumors that Princess Tianxiang occasionally heard that the prince of Nan Liguo was short and fat, with improper facial features, violent personality, and the servants in the harem** Chaos, Princess Tianxiang, Tianzi Guose, fairy-like characters, Hui Lanxin, since she does not want to marry the beast-like prince, and Wang Meiren, usually the most pampered princess, and does not want Princess Tianxiang to marry other countries, so she and the young and handsome worship in the Guoshi Mansion selected one, and married the princess, Princess Tianxiang does not like this flower sleepless, but the marriage is approaching, and there is no other way, only this flower sleepless appearance and character barely into the eye, this is committed to marrying him. ”

The man surnamed Du also drank a cup and said: "Hey! Fifteen years ago, Nan Liguo was angry that the former prince Nangong Xuan died in the border of our country, and he did not see the corpse, and after his younger brother Nangong Huan inherited the throne, he avenged his brother, raised the soldiers of the whole country, and brought thousands of soldiers from the Fire Sect, Flame Gate, and Tianlei Hall to attack our country. If it weren't for the medical immortals of Lingxu Mountain, Wuwu Palace, and Baicao Valley in my country who fought to the death to kill the enemy, I am afraid that the city would have been destroyed and the country would have perished that day. Later, our emperor handed over the letter of surrender, and the brocade of medicinal materials paid tribute every year was countless. Nangong Huan was still not satisfied, so he asked Princess Tianxiang, who was five years old at the time, to make a marriage contract with his son Nangong Yan, who was not yet over the age of age, to show his sincerity, and he was willing to quit the army. This is truly a great disgrace to our country. ”

The man next to him said: "Brother Du, don't talk about the rights and wrongs of the country, beware of causing unnecessary trouble." The two of them remembered the past and had no choice but to drink.

When Hua Wufang listened to it for a long time, he thought that if the marriage of the senior brother was really what the two of them said, maybe the senior brother also had his own unspeakable hardships, if this was the case, maybe the truth was not what he thought, as if the fire of hope was rekindled in the heart of death. Wushuang saw the expression on Flawless's face, and he had already guessed seven or eight points of Flawless thoughts. Shaking his head helplessly, he took a sip of wine, and looked leisurely out of the wine shop, where his eyes were extreme.

But I saw a carriage on the official road outside the wine shop, and the carriage was from far and near, and I looked at it, but I saw two horses in front of my head, with a strong body, four slender, light hooves, long mane flying, and full of energy.

In front of the carriage was a strong man, sitting on a small stool, holding the reins, driving the carriage leisurely, with purple hair and skin, and a burly figure. The carriage moved slowly, and when it was not far from the wine shop, he saw the big man leaning into the curtain and talking to the people in the carriage. After a few moments, the big man turned around, flicked the reins, and the carriage headed diagonally towards the liquor store.

Xiao Er's eyes were abnormal, he stood outside early, saw the carriage coming, hurriedly stepped forward, took the reins in the hand of the big man, and said politely: "Guest officer, please inside, just hand it over to the little one." ”

The big man didn't answer, handed over the reins to Xiao Er, jumped out of the car, put the small stool on the ground, and said to the people in the car: "Young master, we have arrived, please move." ”

A hand slowly stretched out from the curtain, lifted the curtain and leaned out, stepping on a small stool to get out of the car. But said that the man, with a slender figure, was wearing a turquoise shirt, with a purple gold jasper crown on his head, his black hair hanging neatly behind his shoulders, a white silk belt around his waist, and two phoenix jade bi hanging on both sides, exquisitely clear, with two pairs of boots on his feet, embroidered with white clouds. Eighteen or nineteen years old, his face was like frost, without a trace of blood, he looked like a person who had been sick for a long time, his deep eyes exuded a charming luster, and his lips were as colored as Zhu Dan under the high bridge of his nose. If you talk about appearance alone, Wushuang and Wuchen are enough to compare with this person, but the noble temperament of this person is not possessed by everyone.

Xiao Er tied the carriage early, fed the fodder, and quickly transferred to the store to lead the way for the master and servant. There is no quiet room in the countryside, and the two of them also sat down in the hall, and the big man said to Xiao Er angrily: "Just put on some fine snacks, and then have an altar with the wine in your store." ”

Xiao Er answered yes and turned to go down. After waiting for a while, the young man coughed alone, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "Young master, it's time for you to take medicine." I'll go and fetch it from you. The young man smiled leisurely, waved his hand, and said, "Child, that's it, these medicines have not improved at all since they were snacked, so they should cough or cough, or if they don't eat it, pour some white water with me to rinse their mouths." The big man called the young slave hurriedly poured water for the young man and rinsed his mouth, after the young man rinsed his mouth, his complexion improved significantly, and the young slave also relaxed slightly. Xiao Er served 'Baili Piaoxiang' and exquisite snacks for the two, and the young slave frequently served vegetables for the teenager, but he didn't eat a bite, but he cooed to a jar of 'Baili Piaoxiang'.

The young man smelled the wine and said, "Slave, pour me a glass." When the young slave heard this, he said with embarrassment: "Young master, your body can't drink alcohol, otherwise it will aggravate your condition." The master blames it down, but how is it good. The young man smiled slightly: "What are you afraid of? Daddy is thousands of miles away, how can you and I tell him that he will know." The young slave thought about the same reason, and poured a cup for the young man. The young man sniffed before he drank it, and praised: "I never thought that such a remote place could have such fine wine." Rare, rare. ”

As soon as the wine entered his throat, the young man coughed violently, and a mouthful of wine spurted out, coughing even more violently than just now, and coughing so much that his face was red and his ears were red, and his heart and lungs were tugging. The young slave also panicked when he saw it, and patted his chest for the young man, and handed water to wipe his sweat, and after a while, the young man coughed for a while, and gradually subsided, and I don't know whether it was a violent cough, or a shame, the young man's face was abnormally red. sighed and said, "Wine is good wine, but unfortunately I can't be blessed." ”

Seeing this, Hua Qingxi stroked his beard and smiled, reached into his sleeve, took out a small purple porcelain vase, handed it to Wushuang, and whispered to Wushuang, Wushuang responded yes, got up and walked towards the master and servant.

Wushuang said to the young man, "Brother Tai, please." At the behest of my teacher, I handed over this bottle of 'Ning Xiang Pill' to my brother, this medicine has a miraculous effect on cough and asthma, as long as I feel unbearable in my chest and want to cough, take one pill, and it will be fine. The young man hurriedly thanked him, and his gratitude was indescribable. The slave took the porcelain vase, uncorked it, poured out a grain, and put it in his mouth. Wushuang was inexplicable, surprised for a moment, and immediately understood that this man was afraid that the medicine was poisonous, and tried the medicine himself, Wushuang couldn't help but be angry, thinking that my master saw that your master was in unbearable pain, and kindly sent medicine to you, but you are so helpful. really deceived people, copied the porcelain vase, and said: "Since Brother Tai is worried that the medicine is poisonous, I don't think it's okay not to take this medicine." ”

The young slave tried the medicine and felt that it was fine, so he knew that he was too careful, so he hurriedly reached out and hugged the medicine bottle, and he didn't let go. The young man hurriedly got up, bowed and saluted, and said: "Brother Tai don't be angry, the young slave has followed me since he was a child, taking care of my daily life, he is extremely loyal, he is dedicated to the Lord, and he inadvertently brushed off Brother Tai's kindness, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Seeing this young man with no eyes, he was humble and polite, and most of his anger disappeared. The porcelain bottle was handed to the young man, the young man took the porcelain bottle, took out a grain, swallowed the water, and immediately felt that his chest was smooth and comfortable, and he knew that this medicine was not ordinary. Another thank you. Said to Wushuang: "Brother Tai is very kind, I am very grateful to my late life, I don't know if I can introduce the commander on my behalf, I can express my gratitude in person." ”

Wushuang replied: "Why not, brother Tai is here." ”

There is no two-way Hua Qingxi to show the young man's intention, and when the young man saw Hua Qingxi, he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him. Hua Qingxi hurriedly hugged the young man and said, "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't have to be like this." If you have a cough for a long time, this medicine can only temporarily relieve your pain, but it cannot completely cure it. The young man said: "It's okay, like this, my predecessors have been kind to me and reinvented, and I don't dare to ask for it again." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the young slave kneeling on the ground with a 'poof', and said to Hua Qingxi: "The seniors are very gracious, the little slave is very grateful, but I would like to ask the seniors to give the prescription of this 'incense pill' to the little slave, if he gets sick again in the future, and there is no good medicine around him, it is inevitable that he will be in pain as before." The slave kowtowed to you. After that, his head hit the ground like pounding garlic, and the sound of 'dong dong' sounded, but the seven-foot man was like a child, extremely delicate. Seeing no regrets and no joy, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

Hua Qingxi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Okay, I will tell you this prescription if you are loyal." After that, he instructed the shopkeeper to take the pen and ink, write down the prescription on paper, and give it to the slave. The slave happily got up and took the prescription and carefully placed it in his arms. He bowed to Hua Qingxi again.

The young man bowed down and said, "The junior Mo Yangsheng didn't dare to ask the seniors to respect their names, so that they could repay the kindness of their seniors in the future." ”

Hua Qingxi didn't have time to answer, but listened to Hua Wuzhi and said: "Okay, you remember, my master is the head of Baicao Immortal Valley, Hua Qingxi is also." ”

When Mo Yangsheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "It turned out to be a person from Qingxi in Baicao Valley, no wonder the medical skills are so good." The younger generation is really fortunate for the third generation today, and he has to meet the old immortals, but he has no time to retreat, otherwise he must go to the valley in person to visit and listen to the teachings. Yan Ba stretched out his hand and took off a pair of phoenix jade on his body, presented it to Hua Qingxi, and said: "The things outside the body, I hope that the seniors will not dislike the accident of the late life, and accept this thing, so as to express the sincerity of the late life." ”

Hua Qingxi waved his hand, pushed a pair of jade backs to the young man, and said: "Gongzi said this, today's meeting is fate, there is no need to remember it, let alone this move, he will meet in the future." ”

Mo Yangsheng couldn't refuse, so he had to give up, bowed to himself again, and said, "So please forgive me, I will say goodbye to my late life." He will meet again. Slave, let's go. He was about to turn and leave.

All the disciples got up and bowed their hands, but Wushuang was busy saying to Mo Yangsheng and the others: "Brother Mo is slow, I see that Brother Mo is dressed beautifully, he is not an ordinary person, and I see that the carriage of the two of you is facing west, but you are going to the Xiangcheng of the country?"

Mo Yangsheng turned around and said to Wushuang: "Brother Tai is so delicate. The little slave and I are going to the city of incense. ”

Wushuang was overjoyed and said: "This is the best, I and everyone else are also going to the Imperial City of Guoxiang, if the prince doesn't dislike me and waits for a slow journey, would you like to go along?"

Mo Yangsheng was also overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Why not, I can't ask for it." But I don't know if it disturbed the old fairy quiet. ”

Hua Qingxi stroked his beard and said, "Don't get in the way, you young people, you should have more interactions." "The young slave was busy with the little boy to pass the wine account, everyone was full of wine and food, and unconsciously it had been delayed for a lot of time, Hua Wuya got up to go to the wine account, never thought that the little two but the child slave had already passed together, Hua Wuya thought to himself that this reckless man was naΓ―ve, but he was also sensible. It's not good to be scheming anymore and appear to be stingy. The people in the valley and Mo Yangsheng got up one after another, and the trivial matters were not discussed in detail.
