23. Blind nonsense
When he was complaining in his heart, he followed the little guy and walked to a hall with green smoke from the roof chimney, only to see a large human-shaped alchemy furnace placed in the center of the hall, and two small guys who were busy next to him, one was adding charcoal to the furnace, and the other was fanning the fire with a fan, and Fu Laodao was meditating on the red sandalwood couch next to him.
Hearing the little maid's announcement of the visitor, Fu Laodao slowly opened his eyes, and saw Xie Xuan and Xie Qingshan walking in, because he smiled and said, "Old man Xie's grandson came here today, but what good medicinal materials did you pick?" ”
As soon as Xie Xuan came in, he was attracted by the smoking three-legged alchemy furnace! was carefully observing, and listened to Fu Laodao's questioning.
Xie Qingshan knew the identity of Xie Laodao, and because he saw the Fu family's momentum along the way, he was a little timid in his heart, so he couldn't treat him as usual as in Baicao Hall, and he didn't know how to reply.
Xie Xuan smiled and continued: "Grandpa Fu, don't dare to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, of course, you dare to come and disturb your Qing cultivation only after you have picked good things!" As he spoke, he took out the four Huangzhi from the bamboo basket in Xie Qingshan's hand and handed them to the little guy waiting next to him, who took it and handed it to Fu Laodao.
Fu Laodao took it, looked at it carefully, slowly frowned, and said after a while: "The little girl of the Xie family, didn't you look away this time?" Isn't this Sanghuang? ”
Xie Xuan said with a smile: "Grandpa Fu, take a closer look!" ”
After the first two encounters, Fu Lao Dao knew that Xie Xuan couldn't cover it with ordinary children, so he had to look down carefully, but he was still a little unclear, and finally put it on his nose and smelled it, only to find that the taste was different from Sanghuang, and said hesitantly: "This is not Sanghuang, it doesn't taste like it!" Could it be ......" Then a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked at Xie Xuan, "Could it be the legendary Huang Zhi!" ”
Xie Xuan smiled and replied, "Grandpa Fu, your vision is really good!" ”
While he was talking, Fu Junzhi's voice came from outside the corridor: "Grandpa, I heard that Uncle Xie and Sister Xie are here?" Could it be that some good medicinal herbs have been found? ”
Xie Xuan turned his head to look, and saw a little boy with a jasper hairpin on his head, a lake-colored flowing cloud Wanfu pattern silk straight jacket, and a black silk on his feet.
Xie Xuan is not a little Xie Xuan after all, seeing this beautiful little boy, the blame aunt can't help but move.
"Sister Xie, did you come here today to pick up any good medicinal materials?"
Xie Xuan greeted Mimi with a smile: "Yes, little brother of the Fu family!" ”
Fu Laodao smiled and beckoned to Fu Junzhi: "Come on, grandson, let's see what good things the Xie family and grandson have picked?" Can you recognize it? ”
Fu Junzhi stepped forward and took the Huang Zhi in his grandfather's hand and took a closer look, he had no clue, he thought for a long time, and asked with some hesitation: "Is this Sanghuang?" In the "Taiping Shenghui Fang" given to me by my grandfather a few days ago, it was recorded that Sanghuang looked like this, but this Sanghuang is not precious......" said, turning his head to look at Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan just smiled and said nothing.
Looking at her, Fu Junzhi felt that he was probably wrong, and carefully turned the Huang Zhi over and over again.
Old Daoist Fu pinched his beard and looked at his grandson with a smile.
Fu Junzhi sniffed on his nose, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Almost exactly the same as Sang Huang, isn't it Huang Zhi?" Could this be Huangzhi? ”
Xie Xuan couldn't help but show an admiring smile on his face, Xie Qingshan heard Fu Junzhi say right, and smiled honestly, nodding to himself.
Fu Laodao twisted his beard and laughed, and said: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being my Fu Mingde's grandson, even if he doesn't know what it is, he can guess it based on just a few words, witty!" ”
Fu Junzhi was a little embarrassed by Fu Laodao's praise, and said: "Grandpa, you are too ridiculous, this is just a small speculation!" ”
Fu Laodao looked at his grandson's embarrassed appearance, but just laughed.
After talking for a while, Fu Laodao said to Xie Qingshan and Xie Xuan: "This Huang Zhi is only recorded in ancient books, and few people have seen it, and I don't know what the effect of the medicine is?" I'll buy one hundred taels from you, and four four hundred taels, how about it? "One of the four Huangzhi is a small one, Fu Lao Dao means taking care of them.
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, we are short of silver to buy land, so we came to you to sell this Huangzhi." A few days ago, didn't Grandpa Liu introduce us to a tooth boy, today the tooth boy said that Li Zhaoxuan of Linzhang County was transferred to the capital, and he wanted to sell a Zhuangzi near our Gangshang Village, and the asking price was a full five hundred taels, and we wanted to buy this Zhuangzi, but our family counted the silver obtained from selling medicinal materials a few days ago, and there was still a shortage of two hundred and sixty taels when it was full! And we have to build a shed to grow winter vegetables, and the money is really not enough, so we came to you. Grandpa Fu, don't blame us for fighting the autumn wind! Xie Xuan told the truth, and said it without concealing it at all.
Fu Laodao laughed when he heard this, and felt that although Xie Xuan was precocious, she was still immature in terms of personnel, and she said everything as soon as she was asked, and she didn't hide it for herself at all. But she didn't want to, Xie Xuan knew that her little assets were drizzle in their Fu family, and people didn't know her little things, so she simply said it generously, and it seemed a little more downright.
Fu Laodao instructed the little servant to fetch two pieces of silver, because he heard Xie Xuan talk about planting vegetables in winter, and asked, "Grow vegetables in winter?" I only heard that the palace garden is planted next to the hot spring in winter, and vegetables are grown with the help of the geoheat; In addition, it is expensive to build a greenhouse with charcoal fire every day? How do you grow it? ”
Xie Xuan's eyes purred, and she said to Fu Laodao with a smile: "Grandpa Fu, if we grow vegetables in winter, do you want to taste them?" ”
Fu Laodao said: "If you can eat fresh vegetables in winter, I will naturally go to your house to buy them!" Tell me first, what are you going to grow? ”
Xie Xuan said: "Plant some leeks, garlic seedlings, and bean seedlings first, and if you plant them well, you will expand the scale and add other varieties in the future." ”
Fu Laodao looked at this little girl in amazement, because he asked, "You little girl, who did you learn these ideas from?" ”
Xie Xuan looked at the various Taoist collections and books on the Huanghuali bookshelf in Fu Laodao's house, and then looked at Fu Junzhi's curious eyes, full of nonsense: "I learned from a white-bearded old grandfather, there was once a white-bearded old grandfather, passing by my door, I gave him a few millet buns, he said that he was destined for me, so he patted my head, I felt that there seemed to be a lot of things in my head." Then he sang and walked away, never to be seen again. ”
Fu Laodao raised his eyebrows, half-convinced, noncommittal, and asked, "Do you remember what song he sang?" ”
Xie Xuan thought about it, and then said a few nonsense: "Everyone in the world knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget their fame!" Where will the past and the present meet? The barren mound is gone, and the grass is gone. Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget! In the end, he only hated to gather much, and when he got to it, his eyes were closed...... There are a few more sentences, I can't remember! ”
Fu Laodao secretly bowed his head and pondered after hearing this, and praised for a while: "Only now do I dare to believe that there are such strange people in the world!" ”
Fu Junzhi also looked at Xie Xuan in surprise.
After talking for a while, the little servant took the silver, Xie Qingshan took it and put it in the bamboo basket, covered it with a curtain, and prepared to go back with Xie Xuan.
After going down the mountain, Xie Pingtian waited at the bottom of the mountain, and everyone did not delay, and took a mule cart to tell Xie Pingtian the ins and outs, and hurried to Linzhang County.
