Chapter 43: Meeting the Storyteller

In the middle of the night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the mountain wind poured down with the torrential rain. The rain broke up the moon season in the courtyard of the Zhu Mansion, and the hibiscus willows were scattered in the wind.

Amber is an expert inside and out, originally Zhu Hongyu said that the second floor of the inner hall is the residence, and there are three rooms on the second floor, Amber heard this, and began to clean up the second floor as soon as he came back.

Zhu Zhanao got off the school and went home, and the howling torrential rain poured down with the mountain wind.

Amber opened the snack box, ate a few pieces with Zhan Ao, and made up for dinner.

Wait for the evening to make quilts for Zhan Ao's new house, Zhan Ao will do some simple housework and help clean up.

A pile of unused brocade boxes were piled up in the corner, and the luxurious objects in the brocade boxes were placed on the desk, which looked a little cramped.

"Sister, what's wrong with the eldest sister?" Zhan Ao finished cleaning up the table, added an oil lamp, and asked suspiciously.

"I don't know what's going on, it's like this when I come back, it's okay on the road."

"You went to the market today?"

Amber let out a "hmm" and swept the mat off the bed, then put down the mosquito net on the shelf bed.

"Brother, you can read a book for a while and go to sleep."

Zhu Zhanao stroked the four treasures of the new study, especially the Wujin inkstone, which shone with granular light under the lamplight.

"How much does this stuff cost?"

"I don't know, Boss Du took my sister to buy it." With that, Amber closed the door to her brother's room.

Zhan Ao was secretly pacing to himself in the room, Boss Du? He knows this Boss Du, after all, he is doing business with his sister, he has heard of it, what kind of business is it? Zhan Ao swept the four treasures of the study again, which was extremely luxurious. None of this is going to be easy......

Amber gently pushed open the door of Vermilion's room, and the room was black. She entered the house with an oil lamp, only to see Zhu Hongyu carrying a four-headed official hat and chair sitting by the window, and the window was wide open.

Amber put down the oil lamp, hurriedly walked to the window, closed the window, and glanced at the shelf bed of Vermilion, only to see that there was a cushion on it but no mat.

"Sister, it's hot and you can't sleep?"

Zhu Hongyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I can't sleep." ”

"Hey......" Amber sat on the bed of Vermilion Jade and looked at her, "Sister is crying?" Why? ”

"Today, I had a quarrel with Chief Rundao and Boss Du. I couldn't figure out how to get into a fight. ”

"This ...... There's always a reason. ”

Zhu Hongyu shook her head and said, "I don't know which one I think of today, let Runye tell my fortune." Amber, do you believe in fate? ”

"Of course I believe it, doesn't my sister believe it?"

Zhu Hongyu quickly shook her head. Runye's appearance of burning books is very resolute, and when she promised never to touch the number again, a butterfly broke out of the cocoon in her heart.

"Eh, you study medicine with Rundao on weekdays. Did he say what he meant by 'the ministers and the Jade Emperor returned to the Shangqing'? ”

Amber shook her head, she had never heard Runya say that.

"My sister didn't understand, so I went to ask him, what's so difficult?"

Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, the era without Baidu is really difficult, she asked Runye if this kind of question would be considered pediatric? So the conversation changed.

"By the way, have you retrieved the carriage and cloth stored in Sanguan Temple?"

Amber hurriedly said, "I have already brought the mule back. It's really a way to catch up with a donkey, otherwise this family can't live today. By the way, Master also helped me bring my things over, and you kept the door closed upstairs, so we didn't bother. ”

Only then did Zhu Hongyu think that the voices of two people downstairs in the afternoon were Runye and Amber.

"I've worked hard for you today, and when the family and maidservants come tomorrow, our family will be fine."

"Yes, I want to be tired for the last time today, and at least I can be more free in the future."

Zhu Hongyu raised her head and looked at the ceiling, the shadow of the light swaying, hitting the ceiling, reflecting the appearance of the carved window.

"My brother doesn't have to go to the school these days, I'll find a gentleman for him in the next few days. It's just that I don't know what you want to do. I don't know how to arrange it. ”

Amber looked at the light shadow and thought for a moment, she took Zhu Hongyu's hand and played with it for a while.

"Sister, I didn't think about it, it's better to do the things in front of me well."

Zhu Hongyu is headed, she is still studying at the age of amber, but she doesn't have the time to think about what she wants to do in this life.

Amber must be confused and overwhelmed right now.

"Amber, it's just a little, you can't learn bad, you can't waste too much time on clothes and makeup. Otherwise I really can't afford it. ”

"Of course, we have been poor, and I also know the truth of being frugal and running a family."

Zhu Hongyu was a little tired, and said, "By the way, tomorrow afternoon, if you are free, call Sister Liu over to cut clothes, and run the Taoist over there...... Over there...... Forget it. ”

"This ......" Amber sounded inappropriate, but she also felt that there was no rudeness, "Okay, sister, go to bed early, it's raining today, let's all get up late tomorrow." ”

Zhu Hongyu had a headache all night, and she didn't open her eyes until dawn. She knew that she was going to the city to pick up people today, so she didn't snooze, so she cleaned up and walked to the carport.

Yesterday Amber said that this mule is like a donkey, not like an untamable horse, Zhu Hongyu jumped on the wheel, and it took a long time to "drive" the mule, it was too difficult, it was better to lead a cow, turned left and right on the official road, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, Zhu Hongyu was tired and sweating profusely, and in addition to the heavy rain last night, the official road was really difficult to walk.

I don't know how long I walked before I arrived in Yunmeng Town, my stomach was empty, and I made an unassailable sound.

Okay, let's go eat.

The hotel is not easy to find, and after passing the city gate, I finally found a decent storefront. The so-called Shang Ke is that this store has a carriage shed where cars can be stored, and she didn't even think about rushing in.

Because it was not yet time to eat, there were few people in the store, Zhu Hongyu walked into the restaurant, and Xiao Er immediately came over to wait enthusiastically.

"This young lady, is it a sharp point or a hotel?"

"Sharpened."

"Okay, ladies pleaseβ€”"

Female guest in the inner hall please? It turns out that there is such a saying, exquisite.

"I don't have anything special to eat, I didn't eat in the morning, you let the kitchen get two things to serve, I have something to do after eating."

"Gotcha! What's not to eat? ”

Zhu Hongyu shook her head, chose a table of eight immortals by the window and sat down.

As soon as Xiao Er left, the entire inner hall was empty. Zhu Hongyu took out the chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and saw a woman wearing a long gown walking outside the door, but the long gown was covered with patches.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, he walked towards Zhu Hongyu.

"This young lady is auspicious, do you want to hear about it?"

Yes? Zhu Hongyu was stunned for a minute, it turns out that ancient people were so literary and artistic when they asked for money? Zhu Hongyu really wanted to get rid of her quickly, but after thinking about it...... Uncle, I have money now.

"How much money?"

"Fifteen pennies for a story."

Okay, this price is cheap enough, much cheaper than variety shows in later generations.

"Then tell me a secret story about the dynasty. But I'll ask questions when you speak. ”

Zhu Hongyu rummaged through her purse and found two large pieces of money that were scattered.

She is eager to know some stories of this era, but she usually doesn't have time to read, and today she can be regarded as catching someone.

A big sum of money is ten wen, and when the storyteller saw that Zhu Hongyu was so generous, he quickly accepted the money with a very flattering smile on his face.

"But it is said that it has been thirty-two years since the Zhengde Dynasty, and it just so happened that there was a national teacher thirty-two years ago."

"There is no national teacher now?"

"Yes, from twelve years ago to today, there has been no national teacher."

Zhu Hongyu remembered that she had read the "Hua Dynasty Zhengde Yearbook", which mentioned the national teacher.

At the time, I laughed, but I didn't expect there to be a story in it.

"It is said that before this dynasty, it was called the Shengxuan Dynasty. During the Shengxuan period, a small Taoist priest in the capital Chaoyunguan, the Taoist number was recorded in it. I was bullied by my brothers every day, and I had to pour a night pot for my master! ”

Zhu Hongyu laughed, and she suddenly remembered Runye. I don't know if Runye also wants to pour a night pot for Master.

Later, when Ji Yuzhi was a little older, thinking about the affairs of his family and country now, he didn't want to be confined to a small world. So the new students are attached to the heart of Hongchen and want to enter the court! ”

Zhu Hongyu nodded, and was fascinated at once.

"The current emperor is not the eldest son of the first emperor, but is ranked in the fifteenth. If it is said that there is a predetermined retribution in this world. One day, the fifteenth prince went to the clouds to see the incense that day, Ji Yuzhi was a little older, the posture was outstanding, he gave him incense to serve, the fifteenth prince fell in love at first sight, and talked about the knee in the middle of the night. ”

Ji Yuzhi didn't want to be in Chaoyunguan, his heart was in the red dust. So he said to the fifteenth son of the emperor, 'You often come to Chaoyunguan, and the poor road can help you inherit the unification'. When the fifteenth prince heard this, his heart was overjoyed! From this point on, thirty days a month, more than twenty days in Chaoyunguan stayed, two months later, this Taoist priest became the emperor's fifteenth son's personal servant. ”

"Oh......" Zhu Hongyu poked and smiled secretly, the word "little girl" is really meaningful, it is possible that XX has passed.

It's an interesting story, and it's in line with her curiosity.

"In this year, Emperor Shengxuan, who was originally in good health, suddenly suffered from a vicious illness, and the imperial physician in the palace was at a loss. One night, the Emperor dreamed that a strange Taoist priest was sitting at the head of his bed and putting hemp rope around his neck, as if to strangle him. The first emperor woke up and was furious! Draw a portrait of a Taoist priest, collect a group of Taoist priests in the capital, and investigate them one by one. What's wrong with you? ”

"This Taoist priest is Ji Yuzhi, right?"

"Exactly!" The storyteller talked about the wonders, and she laughed herself.

At this time, Xiao Er came in with a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of porridge, and put the stir-fried vegetables and porridge on the vermilion jade table.

"Eh, little brother. You pour another bowl of porridge and stir-fry a meat dish. ”

"Okay!"

As soon as the little brother went out, the storyteller continued to speak.

"Ji Yuzhi is in the prince's mansion and does not come out. The imperial court didn't know that there was such a person, and he killed and died in a month, but he couldn't find the portrait of the master. ”

"Although Ji Yuzhi is a cultivator, he is ruthless. Seeing that the emperor of the dynasty killed him all over the house, he made a dead hand. So within a month, I saw Emperor Shengxuan festering all over his body and dying on the sickbed! It's just that Emperor Shengxuan died suddenly, and he didn't make an edict. ”

Sure enough, this Taoist priest really has some skills.

"Ji Yuzhi used the curse technique to curse the first emperor to death. led to the seizure of the throne by Kowloon, and all the princes were defeated by both, and no one obeyed anyone. It's just that the fifteenth son of the emperor did not move. In addition to Ji Yuzhi's mastery of Taoism, guess what else is brilliant? ”

Zhu Hongyu shook her head, she couldn't guess.
