Ruyiju is a little far away from the city gate, and this section of the shops is lined up, the most prosperous and lively, the road is bustling with pedestrians and carriages, and the river is endless.

It's just that the road is not too wide, and Lin Muya's three people do have more things on their backs, one person accounts for almost a quarter of the road, and passers-by on the road have avoided it, and the return rate is extremely high, and even some people who are driving the carriage suspect that they are wrong, so they deliberately stop the car to confirm.

didn't walk a few steps, and the thin-skinned Ye Xiaoming was reluctant: "Stop, why does the master walk with these things on his back, can't he buy a carriage to pull it?" ”

Although Lin Muya doesn't feel that things are heavy, who doesn't want to take it easy, and the feeling of being watched by others is not very good: "It's so stupid, why didn't I think about it!" Uncle, where are the carriages sold? Let's go buy one. ”

Zhou Meng's face was also reddened by others, and he endured his resentment and said: "A carriage costs dozens of taels of silver, and we can't afford it." ”

Lin Muya asked, "Is there a car rental company?" Let's rent one. ”

Zhou Meng replied helplessly: "I only have a dozen copper plates left in my pocket, and it's not enough to rent a car!" ”

In fact, Zhou Meng thought of renting a car yesterday, but he neglected it for a while, underestimated Lin Muya's purchasing power, and used up all the money. He was also secretly glad that he had left the money for the hotel alone and didn't take it out, and it would be really humiliating if he didn't have the money to pay the bill.

Lin Muya realized that this situation was caused by her, so she laughed twice and compensated the two people: "It's all my fault, I forgot about this when I bought something, I spent so much money, and my uncle and Brother Xiaoming were affected." ”

Although she couldn't see Lin Muya's expression, she could tell that the little girl was really blaming herself, Ye Xiaoming was embarrassed to pursue it again, and comforted herself: "The saint has a cloud: the heavens are entrusted to the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't." I am a genius who has been entrusted by heaven, so there is such a calamity, what is the matter with you children? ”

The money has been spent, and all the things bought are useful things, Zhou Meng doesn't want his niece to be entangled in this matter, and then Ye Xiaoming's words said: "I didn't see that you kid is not only good at kung fu, but also quite knowledgeable, no wonder the old shopkeeper of Ruyiju praised you." ”

Ye Xiaoming said proudly: "That's your clumsiness, since I was a child, there are many people who praise me, and the shopkeeper is not worth mentioning." ”

The three of them spoke, and slowly walked towards the city gate one after the other.

Lin Muya walked in the front, and found that there were more and more passers-by who overtook her car, and ran excitedly in the direction of the city gate, as if there was money in front of her.

There are also many people who call friends and greet their companions to hurry up: "If you go late, you won't be able to grab a good position!" ”

Zhou Meng grabbed an old man who passed by him and asked, "Uncle, please ask, what's going on in front of you?" ”

The old man hurriedly pulled Zhou Meng's hand with a cane: "Let go, you let go of me!" Why are you like this? If you don't let go, I'll beat you. ”

Zhou Meng hurriedly let go of his hand and saw that the old man was running forward with a cane at a speed that did not match his age.

When the old man passed by Lin Muya's side, he turned back to Zhou Meng and said: "You have children here, you can't rob it with my old man, it doesn't matter if you tell you, the young lady of Master Zhang's family threw hydrangeas to find a son-in-law!" ”

Lin Muya turned her head and saw that the old man with a gray beard on crutches was so energetic, and she was also curious: "Uncle, let's go and see the excitement too!" Seeing that this old man is going to grab hydrangea, this young lady who recruits sons-in-law must be very beautiful. ”

The old man ran a few steps forward, stopped out of breath, and when Lin Muya slowly walked to his side again, he took a breath and said to Lin Muya: "The child can't speak too much, I'm only sixty-one years old, and I haven't been married yet, where is the old grandfather, do you want to call the uncle?" ”

Lin Muya was as kind as she flowed, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I said it wrong, you are not old at all." You show us the way, we want to see a lively scene. ”

The old man was quite satisfied with Lin Muya's attitude: "Okay, just say it first, I'm in a hurry, it is inevitable that the speed will be faster, you are carrying so much luggage, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up, I won't wait for you, if you can keep up, follow along!" ”

"Okay, we'll try to keep up!"

Lin Muya and the three of them couldn't help laughing, and their faces were flushed.

The old man thought that he was walking too fast, which made the three of them too hard, and said kindly: "Forget it, see that you are too hard, go slowly." In fact, I have already thought about it: there are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it. ”

After the old man walked at his comfortable speed, Lin Muya knew that the old man was really trying his best to speed just now.

What a lovely old man!

Lin Muya also moved at turtle speed, and asked the old man what was going on with this hydrangea throwing.

The old man said: "I am a storyteller in the Mingxiang Teahouse, and I usually have to charge money for listening to me." You kid is so obedient, I'm going to give you a free passage today. ”

"Thank you, sir! It's just that we don't listen to stories, we want to listen to real people and real stories," Lin Muya said.

The storyteller glared at Lin Muya: "What I'm talking about is real people and real things!" ”

It turns out that this old man Zhang's name is Zhang Qishan, and he is the dart head of the Lion Dart Bureau of Yueshan Mansion, and he has also made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes after walking all his life, and is known as the Iron Palm Golden Knife.

Zhang Qishan is more than seventy years old, no children under his knees, only an old woman, named Mingzhu, that is really in the mouth of the fear of melting, holding in the hand for fear of falling, to the stars in the sky Master Zhang will not pick the moon, the good news is that Miss Mingzhu has not been pampered, beautiful as a flower, both civil and military, since childhood with Zhang Lao Ye to go north and south, well-informed, although it is a woman, but willing to give, anxious and righteous, see the mind can be called a woman does not let the eyebrows, help the father to run the lion dart board business prosperous, day by day to make money.

Only one point, Miss Mingzhu's marriage is thin, she has five out of twenty this year, she has not yet started a family, she has been engaged several times, it is strange to say, her fiancé has had an accident one by one, one fell drunk and drowned in the river, one died of a sudden illness, and one broke his leg while riding a horse, so he quit the marriage.

The world is ignorant, and they all say Zhang Mingzhu Kefu.

Zhang Qishan entrusted people to spend a lot of money to invite the owner of Dongguo Zhuang of Tianyou Villa to calculate a hexagram for Zhang Mingzhu, and the owner of Dongguo Zhuang approved the hexagram: marriage is destined, and hydrangea seeks the true dragon.

Master Zhang set up a stage under the city wall, forced his daughter to throw hydrangea and choose a son-in-law, and also set the rules: no matter how old or young, no matter how beautiful or ugly they are, whether they are rich or poor, whether they know how to write or how to martial arts, as long as they are men and have not yet married, they can go to grab hydrangeas!

Master Zhang also invited the White Pear Flower Opera Troupe, and after finding a son-in-law, he sang a three-day drama to celebrate.

Lin Muya listened to the storyteller's explanation, and heard the sound of gongs and drums from afar, which came from a high platform in an open field north of the city gate. There was already a large group of people surrounded by darkness and blackness, and there were people who kept running from all directions, making the group bigger.

Suddenly, the gongs and drums stopped, and the storyteller was no longer calm, and began to speed again: "Hurry up, start quickly!" ”
