Chapter 22 Return to Taizhou Mansion
At sunrise, Zhuang Zhengde and Hu Bulai got up to bed. After tidying up a little, the two of them went downstairs to prepare for some breakfast first.
The inn opened early to welcome guests, and the shopkeeper Tong was busy scrubbing at the counter. When he saw the two of them coming down, he said hello from afar.
Zhuang Zhengde saw that the shopkeeper Tong was wearing a plain dress today, with a little powder, which was another beautiful scenery. Waking up every day with this pleasing beauty is a great joy in life.
Hu Bulai still looked like a dog couldn't carry it clearly, and his hippie smile was very obscene, "Tut-tut, the shopkeeper Tong is a different scene today, and I can't complain that Poor Dao had a big dream of spring and autumn last night, which is really memorable." When he got up early and saw the shopkeeper Tong, he just wanted to go back and sleep with him, which was beautiful. ”
Shopkeeper Tong looked back and smiled, "Daoist Hu, can you rest last night?" The slave family looks at you very spiritually, why don't you go to the mass grave tonight to run away and vent your heart? ”
Hu Bulai was dumbfounded by the words of the shopkeeper Tong, so he had to sit at the table obediently, patting the table and making a fuss about being hungry for breakfast.
The shopkeeper Tong instructed Xiao Er to let the back kitchen prepare breakfast, and he also came to sit aside, "Zhuang Gongzi, can you write a notice for the slave family?" Let's just say that the evil of this inn has been eliminated, and all passing guests have discounts for accommodation. Business has been bleak these days, and if I don't solicit customers anymore, I'm afraid I'm going to close down. ”
Zhuang Zhengde didn't shirk either, got up and took the pen and paper, the shopkeeper Tong helped grind, and occasionally teased the falling green silk, and Zhuang Zhengde looked at it again.
Hu Bulai patted the table in protest, "Brother Zhuang, then you can write like this." The evil in this store has been eradicated by the Thunderbolt Master of Yanbei, and all guests can stay at will, and will never be disturbed again, and there will be discounts when you enter the store. What does Brother Zhuang think? Doesn't that sound imposing? ”
Zhuang Zhengde glanced at Hu Bulai, too lazy to take care of it. But what Hu Bu said is also true, last night crying dad called his mother to find this old man Bai, and the old man Bai didn't respond. If it weren't for Hu Bulai squirting a mouthful of old blood, I'm afraid the two of them would have to confess here.
Zhuang Zhengde looked up at the shopkeeper Tong, and the shopkeeper Tong also nodded lightly.
Zhuang Zhengde waved his pen, wrote according to Hu Busheng, and then instructed Xiao Er to post it in a conspicuous place outside the inn.
The two hurriedly had breakfast, and in order to express his gratitude, the shopkeeper Tong prepared some wine, meat and dry food for the two, and also prepared a bag of silver taels, which looked like dozens of taels, and Xu gave this net worth to the two. Zhuang Zhengde saw that this was unacceptable, and hurriedly pushed the silver back, Hu Bulai looked at the cooked duck and flew away, but seeing Zhuang Zhengde's serious face, Hu Bulai didn't dare to say anything.
Shopkeeper Tong and Zhuang Zhengde pushed back and forth like this for a long time, and Hu Bulai couldn't stand it anymore, "You two took the opportunity to touch their hands, right?" Don't push it. Brother Zhuang, how does the shopkeeper's little hand feel to the touch? Isn't it slippery? It's cool. Hey, hey, hey, hey. ”
Zhuang Zhengde raised his foot and kicked it, and Hu Bulai hurriedly dodged. The shopkeeper Tong also felt that something was wrong, so he took half of it and left it, handed the remaining half into Zhuang Zhengde's hands, and firmly grasped Zhuang Zhengde's hands to prevent Zhuang Zhengde from prevaricating.
Zhuang Zhengde was helpless, it was not a way to hold the hands of other women's hands like this, so he had to go to the shopkeeper Tong and take the silver into his arms.
After they had eaten and drunk enough, and received their payment, they packed up and prepared the carriage for the road.
The shopkeeper Tong sent the two to the door, and the morning light reflected on the face of the shopkeeper Tong, and the shopkeeper Tong showed a faint smile on his face, a little reluctant. This has been single for a long time, and he has been helpless, and Brother Zhuang came to this day, not only helping the shopkeeper Tong a lot, but also giving the shopkeeper Tong a shoulder to rely on. But the shopkeeper Tong only regarded Zhuang Zhengde as a younger brother in his heart, knowing that the two were also destined to be inseparable and could not be forced.
When the shopkeeper Tong thought of this, he felt that he was really a little shameless. This childhood sweetheart's husband is gone, and this will start to think about other men, and his face will gradually blush.
Hu Bulai led the carriage, and the shopkeeper helped pack up the items and bags carried by the two of them carefully one by one. Zhuang Zhengde got into the carriage and waved gently to the shopkeeper Tong, but he didn't speak. Hu Bulai jumped up and shouted twice, drive. The carriage slowly moved up the official road.
Shopkeeper Tong watched the two disappear from their eyes before returning to the inn in a huff.
The weather on the official road this morning was cool, and Zhuang Zhengde and the others were also in a very happy mood.
Hu Bu looked at Zhuang Zhengde with a pig's head on his face, and said with a teasing smile, "What's the matter?" Brother Zhuang is reluctant? Then let's turn around and go back, and we will hold a banquet today, drink him for three days and three nights, and celebrate the return of my Zhuang brother's beauty. ”
Zhuang Zhengde looked at this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man with a disgusted expression, "Pull it down, I don't know who is lingering, you look at your appearance in the past two days, how can there be a great mage's style, it is simply a ruffian hooligan." Look at the front of your clothes, are you almost getting your saliva clean? ”
Hu Bulai was really fooled, and hurriedly raised his hand to touch it, only to realize later that the little fat man was ridiculing himself, and shook his head proudly, "But then again, this little lady is really a god who appreciates her face and eats, and she is also a virtuous helper when she marries home, and she is very beautiful." Brother Zhuang still thinks about it, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, you just travel around the rivers and lakes to marry a few more, and it is better to give the poor a long face. ”
Zhuang Zhengde didn't take care of this mouthpiece, recalling last night's nonsense, he actually admired it in his heart. first showed weakness, then pretended to be dead, and took advantage of the fact that this evil didn't pay attention to it and took it by surprise, it seems that this boasting still has a certain strength. Just remembering that Old Man Bai has not moved, Zhuang Zhengde is a little uneasy about this trip to Taizhou Mansion.
Hu Bu came to see Zhuang Zhengde and ignored himself, and happily began to shout the slogan of walking and traveling, and the passers-by who watched looked sideways. Hu Bulai enjoyed it very much, but he felt that these strange eyes were worshipping himself.
When they arrived in Taizhou City, it was already dark, and the two of them didn't have time to eat in the afternoon. I found an inn near Yixiang Pavilion to live in, asked for a private room, and ate a large table of food. Zhuang Zhengde didn't have time to find a few friends in Taizhou Mansion, he just wanted to go over early in the evening to find Miss Xiaoyue.
After the meal, the two sat and drank tea and chatted, Zhuang Zhengde asked, "Hu Bu, didn't you say that there was some trivial matter in Taizhou Mansion?" I don't see you in a hurry. ”
Hu Bulai rolled his eyes, thinking that this was to drive himself away, and he didn't go to the road, "Oh, Brother Zhuang, I made you money yesterday, you unload the mill and kill the donkey, and you are ready to throw the poor road aside?" Look at you and I are partners, yesterday's battle, you waved the flag next to you, and the poor road charged in front, how much tacit understanding? In the future, your Master Zhengde will follow me to the Thunderbolt Grand Master before and after the saddle, and you will definitely make a fortune as soon as possible, isn't it beautiful? ”
Zhuang Zhengde was not fooled, "Let's not talk about whether we partner or not, you tell me honestly, what are you doing in Taizhou Mansion?" Which girl are you going to harm? ”
Hu Bu came to see that he couldn't get around this matter, so he told him calmly, "Brother Zhuang, I won't tell you, the poor road is indeed a little unbearable, see that your brother is a sincere person, and he also has a rich and noble appearance." Poor Dao is not nonsense, and today's partner has also been carefully weighed. Brother Zhuang, if you don't dislike it, take me around, as long as you have something to eat, the poor road is before and after the saddle, and you can do everything. After that, Hu Bulai got up and bowed with his fists, and his attitude was no longer the kind of hanging child he had in the past two days.
Zhuang Zhengde didn't look like nonsense, "Hu doesn't come, Hu doesn't come, what do you have to say, it's over, there are so many twists and turns in the stomach and intestines, there is an egg." I, Zhuang Zhengde, am not the person who finds faults, since you have decided, then we will accompany each other, and we can take care of it. Anyway, my Zhuang Zhengde has no money, no beauty, and I am not afraid of your scourge. If you don't come, why don't you worship me as a teacher? ”
Zhuang Zhengde was playful for a while, he was still a half-ass, which apprentice to accept.
I thought it was a joke, who would have thought that this nonsense would be three kowtows without saying a word, Zhuang Zhengde didn't have time to react, Hu Bulai opened his mouth and shouted three times The master is on it.
Zhuang Zhengde, who shouted these masters, put his head on his face, Hu Bulai, a forty-year-old person soon, how can he not go to his head when he does things, and kneel when he says kneel?
Hu Bu came to see Zhuang Zhengde and didn't speak, hurriedly rubbed his knees and moved forward, hugged Zhuang Zhengde's thighs, and smiled flatteringly, "Master, do you agree, if you don't agree, the poor road will not get up." ”
Zhuang Zhengde was made easy to get on the horse and difficult to get off the horse, "Brother Hu, Ancestor Hu, this master can't be recognized." Besides, you are a Taoist priest, and you must have a master in this technique, how can you cast yourself under my half-hung door, isn't it a betrayal of the master? ”
Hu Bulai licked his face and smiled, "Brother Zhuang, oh no, you don't know, master, I just got a book of cultivation notes by chance, and I learned some fur things, where did the master come from." If you don't pretend to be a Taoist, it's not easy to say that you will cure diseases and eliminate demons. Master, you can accept me, it's really not good, I'll call you godfather. ”
Zhuang Zhengde is really a big head, so he hurriedly pulled it up and didn't come, "What kind of father, I haven't even married a daughter-in-law, and I'm still a godfather." Pull it down, I will answer you, and in the future, you will be the founding disciple of Master Zhengde, and you will continue to use the name of this Thunderbolt Master to carry forward my master's family. ”
Zhuang Zhengde accepted such an old brother, and his heart was also beautiful, and after that, some people walked the rivers and lakes to lift their shoes and pour tea, which was not bad. In addition to bragging, there is nothing wrong with this nonsense. The two also take care of each other together, and they are a good partner.
The two made such a fuss, and the relationship became much closer. Hu Bulai got up and put his arm around Zhuang Zhengde's shoulders, and leaned his face forward, "Master, how about this morning's remuneration for the old apprentice?" The old apprentice came to this Taizhou Mansion, and couldn't help but want to go to this fireworks and willow alley, and he didn't eat this flower wine for a long time, and his heart was itching. ”
Zhuang Zhengde saw that this guy was also a fellow practitioner, and smiled ambiguously, "Old thing, I didn't expect you to be like this." I came here to do business, is to find the previous little good to go, Mr. Bai Da read this letter, said that my little good is afraid that there is evil entangled, you just happened to go with me, we ate flowers and wine to do a big thing, beautiful. ”
Hu Bulai listened to Zhuang Zhengde say this, and sure enough, he worshiped the right teacher, the two of them smiled lewdly, pointed at each other, and the private room was suddenly full of glamour.
The two said that the wind is the rain, settled the account, and went back to the house to get the peachwood sword and a dozen yellow talismans. Then he got up and walked towards Yixiang Pavilion.
