Chapter 4: Scare (I)
Early the next morning, Xie Zheng took the jade branch and took the carriage of Huanling to Qingxuguan, the carriage stopped under the locust tree outside the gate of Qingxuguan, and Yuzhi only got off the car to tie the reins of the horses, and then returned to the car, and waited with Xie Zheng, waiting for Shen Wenhe to come to offer incense.
It was the middle of the day, Xie Zheng was still sitting quietly, not impatient, Yuzhi had waited for a long time, and his heart was inevitably a little unsettled, so he opened the corner of the curtain from time to time, peeked out of the carriage, and waited for Shen Wenhe to appear a little anxiously.
"Lady, will Shen Yuma really come?"
"He will definitely come," Xie Zheng is convinced, Shen Wenhe advocates Lao Zhuang's thoughts, likes metaphysics, and is dedicated to the Tao, so he will go to Qingxu Guan to enlighten the Tao on the fifth day of the first month of every month, rain or shine, and ten years will be the same.
"The slave is just not very relieved, there was such a big thing happened to Princess Yixing yesterday, and I always felt that Shen Yuma would be dragged down, and I couldn't find the time to clear the void today."
Xie Zheng smiled and said nothing.
Yuzhi lifted the corner of the curtain again, peeked out, and suddenly showed surprise on his face, and said, "He's here!" ”
Hearing this, Xie Zhengyi glanced out the window, and really saw an ox cart coming unhurriedly, and there was a very conspicuous oracle bone inscription "Shen" on the car, which was the family emblem of the Wuxing Shen clan, and the house slave who sat on the seat and drove the car, she also recognized that it was Shen Wenhe's entourage Sun Wei.
The ox cart stopped, and it also stopped at the door of Qingxuguan, Xie Zheng no longer looked out the window, and seemed to be extremely reluctant to see Shen Wenhe, but just asked Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, did you bring all the things you were ordered to prepare yesterday?" ”
Yuzhi bowed his head, "It's all with you." ”
On the ox cart outside the window, a jade-faced Langjun walked down, and the young Taoist priest who had been waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests at the gate of Qingxuguan immediately greeted him and said, "Welcome to Shen Shilang, Master has been waiting for a long time, please." ”
Shen Wenhe didn't say a word, his temperament was quite arrogant, so he walked in front of the Taoist priest, and he stepped into the Qingxu Temple first, and the Taoist priest was about to follow up, when a Taoist priest who looked like a five or six-year-old child ran next to him, calling: "Master, Master!" ”
When the Taoist priest saw the child, he was stunned for a moment at first, and then reprimanded: "Whoever allowed you to run out, don't go back to the temple quickly!" ”
The child raised his hand and scratched his head, sneering and said, "Hehe, it's not fun in it......"
After speaking, he pointed to the carriage that Xie Zheng was riding, and said timidly in a low voice: "Master, I saw that the carriage had been parked at the door for a long time, and no one came down, do you want to come forward and ask?" ”
The Taoist priest glanced at it, instantly showed a look of consternation, and when he came back to his senses, he slapped the child's head lightly, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you see that carriage has the family emblem of the Huan clan on it?" The people in the car must be the distinguished guests of the Hou Mansion of Yongxiu County, if someone comes down, you will go to entertain and entertain, if no one comes down, you should not ask more, so as not to cause trouble. ”
"Oh," the child muttered in response, and the Taoist priest hurriedly followed Shen Wenhe when he saw that Shen Wenhe had gone quite far at this time.
Seeing that the master had gone away, the child walked to the carriage again and looked twice, and the master told him that if anyone came down, he would need to greet him, so he simply sat down on the stone steps in front of him, put his hands on his cheeks, and stared at the carriage with his eyes dripping.
After a while, Xie Zheng estimated that Shen Wenhe should have entered the view, so he opened the corner of the curtain and glanced outward, then retracted his gaze and instructed Yuzhi: "There is no one outside, the green cow is drinking water, you go and mix the five stones into the water." ”
"Yes," Yuzhi lifted the curtain and was about to get out of the car, but she was startled, she stepped back and said, "Lady, there is a child outside who has been staring at us." ”
"Kid?" Xie Zhengzheng was puzzled, Yuzhi lifted the door curtain again, motioned her to look, she looked out, and really saw a childish child sitting there staring.
This little Taoist priest looks very pleasing, Xie Zheng looked at him, his heart was quite happy, so he smiled at him, but he didn't know that the little Taoist priest saw her and came over with a smile.
Yuzhi knew that Xie Zheng would definitely deal with this little Taoist, so he got out of the carriage first, and the curtain hung down again, and the little Taoist was short and couldn't reach it, but he stuck in a little head and stared at Xie Zheng with a smirk.
The little Taoist priest didn't say a word, and Xie Zheng did the same at first, but after a while, she still couldn't hold back and asked, "Xiao Langjun, why do you keep staring at your sister?" ”
"When you see the fairy in the sky, you naturally have to look at it twice," the little Taoist priest didn't say that it was ordered by the master, and he praised Xie Zheng when he came up.
Although Xie Zheng laughed a little when he heard it, he was also a lot more comfortable, and laughed: "You kid, you must have smeared honey on your mouth." ”
The little Taoist priest poked his head and thought that it was not very comfortable, so he moved half of his body to the carriage, Xie Zheng knew that he was unwell, and wanted to pull him up, but he still wanted to tease him, so he picked up the box next to him and said to the little Taoist: "Sister, there are a lot of dried fruit preserves in this box, do you want to eat it?" ”
"Yes!" The little Taoist priest bowed his head again and again, Xie Zheng opened the box, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, then you can come up and talk to your sister." ”
After hearing this, the little Taoist priest didn't say a word, immediately squirmed and climbed into the carriage, walked to Xie Zheng and sat down, Xie Zheng handed him candied fruit, and joked on the other hand: "You kid, you are really easy to deceive, give you something to eat, and you will leave with others, you are not afraid that I am a kidnapper and will abduct you to sell?" ”
"My sister is so good-looking, how can she be a kidnapper."
Xie Zheng stretched out his hand and poked the tip of the little Taoist's nose, "You, you, at a young age, you are so good at coaxing women, and you will have it when you grow up!" ”
At this time, the door curtain was lifted again, and Yuzhi stood outside the carriage and gave Xie Zheng a look, Xie Zheng knew that she must have succeeded, so he thought about supporting the little Taoist priest again, so he asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
"It's delicious," the little Taoist priest ate the candied fruit in his mouth, nodded hastily, Xie Zheng pushed the box in front of him, "If it's delicious, this box will be given to you, and all the candied fruit in it is yours, take it back." ”
The little Taoist priest was stunned, then shook his head tightly and said, "Master doesn't allow me to eat these things, he will scold me when he sees it." ”
"That's okay, you tell him that this box of candied fruit is rewarded by the Hou Mansion of Yongxiu County, so he won't be able to scold you anymore."
The little Taoist priest said innocently: "Really? ”
"That's right," Xie Zheng then picked up the box again, put it in the little Taoist's hand, pushed him slowly, and said with a smile: "Go back quickly, the master can't find you, you must be in a hurry." ”
The little Taoist priest thanked him, then turned around to get out of the car, Yuzhi hugged him down, and saw him enter the temple with his own eyes, so he got into the carriage with peace of mind, but laughed: "Such a small child, the lady really has the heart to coax." ”
"When I saw him, I only felt very kind, if my little nephew was still here, I think he would be as old as him now, but it's a pity...... "It's a pity that I was implicated for no reason three years ago......
Yuzhi didn't say a word, Xie Zheng came back to his senses and asked, "Everything is done?" ”
"The slave watched the cow drink the water."
"That'll be fine."
Xie Zheng curled the corners of his mouth and laughed coldly.
