Yuxuan Taoist asked the official to take him to take a bath and change into a robe, but Zhang Guangwei was inconvenient to take a bath here, so he only washed his face indiscriminately, and did not change back into Taoist clothes.

Fuqian Street is bustling, boiling, more lively than in the past, the squires of the four towns and eight docks, the rich and rich people because they are afraid of the robbership, most of them have packed up the soft, with their families to live in the city, and because the Guangxin Mansion Admission Examination is scheduled for the 16th of this month, the students of the five counties under its jurisdiction gather in the city, the inn house prices in the city have doubled and are still crowded, even the monks and Taoist temples have been forcibly borrowed by the overbearing students, the owners of the inn and the wine house have made a lot of money, but the monks and Taoists are complaining, and the incense money has not seen a few, Every day, I have to be called by these students to drink and serve tea and water-

Yuxuan Daoist shook his head and said: "Today is the fourteenth day of the lunar month, and Brother Shi and Brother Zeng Xian are afraid that they will not be able to catch up with this scientific expedition." ”

Zhang Guang rolled his eyes and said: "You really can't tell the priorities, when is this, what exams do you care, save your life first." ”

Yu Xuandao said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the little fairy aunt has to teach you a lesson, Xiaodao thinks that Brother Shi and Brother Zeng Xian are not people who are young, and this time they will be able to turn evil into good fortune and return safely." ”

Zhang Guangwei nodded and said: "Senior Brother Yuangang pushed Zeng Xiucai with eight characters, and he didn't say that he would be killed by a thief, if he died in vain, wouldn't it seem that my senior brother miscalculated, so he must not die." He smiled and said: "That learning the Tao is also old and confused, what kind of test is this soldier and horse, there must be many Xiucai who went to the exam because of the thieves and were hindered from catching up with the exam." ”

Yu Xuan is the only one.

The two walked through the crowd, and Zhang Guangwei heard Yu Xuan asking people how to get to the north gate, so he asked: "Yu Xuan, how do you know where Zeng Xiucai's family lives, and you have been here before?" ”

Yu Xuan said: "I haven't been here, I only heard Brother Zeng Xian say that he bought a new house in Shangrao County, which is on the bank of Lingxi on the outskirts of the city, and you can see it when you go out of the north gate, which is easy to find." ”

Zhang Guangwei said "um", and after a while, he suddenly asked: "Yu Xuan, you said that Zeng Xiucai was killed by thieves this time, will he see through the red dust and become a monk?" ”

Yu Xuan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Guangwei said: "My senior brother Yuangang appreciates him very much, if Zeng Xiucai wants to become a monk, then come to the Great Shangqing Palace, everyone can pursue the Xianzhen Avenue together." ”

Yu Xuanxin said: "Little Fairy Gu shouldn't have affection for Brother Zeng Xian, it's very intriguing to see her work hard to save Brother Zeng Xian this time, hehe, cultivating together, interesting, interesting." "Suddenly remembered that the real person in charge of the sect had instructed him to invite Zeng Yu to meet him at the Shangqing Dazhen Mansion when he passed through Yingtan on his way back from Fenyi, and Zeng Yu didn't go because he was in a hurry to return to the exam. Zeng Xian's brother is in his twentieth year, Xiaoxian Gu is fifteen years old, and the age of the two is a good match, but the difference between the family is too great, the young lady of the Dazhen Mansion is either marrying a prince or a high-ranking official, didn't the last time he taught the real person to marry the little fairy Gu to the son of Yan Shifan, I don't know why there is no follow-up?

Zhang Guangwei saw that Yu Xuan didn't speak, so he asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Yu Xuan said tentatively: "Little Immortal Gu, do you know what happened to the real person of the Palm Sect to summon Zeng Jiuli?" ”

Zhang Guangwei was surprised and said: "When did Yongxu say that he wanted to see Zeng Xiucai, why didn't I know about it?" ”

Yu Xuan didn't dare to say anything, and said vaguely: "Xu is going to ask Zeng Yudong's Yan Shilang about something."

Approaching the north gate, Yu Xuan saw that there was a Suzhou dim sum shop on the side of the street, so he went in and bought eight kinds of pastries, carrying them in a basket, which was a small gift for his great-mother Zhou and Niuniu.

Out of the north gate to look, see half a mile away there is a river zigzag, the riverside houses are sparse and falling, most of them are thatched mud houses, there is only a house with white walls and black tiles, quite delicate and eye-catching, Yu Xuan pointed to the house surrounded by a high horse's head wall and said: "It must be that house." ”

The weather has been sunny these days, most of the snow in Shangrao City has melted, but the suburbs of the city are still full of snow, the Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow in the distance, the stream is nine curves nearby, the winter sun is bright and warm, the snow is crystal clear, and the house with Huizhou architectural characteristics reflects the river meander, Zhang Guangwei looked at the house while walking, and said: "Zeng Xiucai only has his mother and little sister at home, this house is quiet, I like it." ”

Yu Xuandao said "uh-huh" twice, but he didn't dare to answer, so he heard this eldest lady ask again: "Will they also move to the city to avoid the bandits?" ”

Yu Xuan said: "This house is only half a mile away from the north gate, there are really bandits coming, and it is not too late to enter the city to hide when they hear the wind." He also said: "Little Fairy Gu should not tell Zeng's mother that Zeng Jiuli is trapped in a thief's den, so as not to panic." ”

Zhang Guangwei said: "According to me, there is nothing to hide, anyway, it should be known either today or tomorrow."

Yu Xuan said: "It's better not to say it for the time being." ”

Zhang Guangwei straightened the small hat on his head: "Whatever you want, I don't speak, I just look, and you don't tell them who I am." ”

The two of them walked to the main gate of this house, and saw that there were green bricks in front of the door, the snow and fallen leaves were cleaned, the stone door cover, and the wooden door was closed. "The voice is old.

Yu Xuan raised his voice and said, "By asking, is this Zeng Xiucai's house?" ”

The old man in the door didn't answer, but still asked, "Which one are you?" ”

Yu Xuan said: "I am a friend of Zeng Xiucai, from Guixi Yingtan Fang." ”

The old man didn't speak, but another young man's voice came out: "Is it from Zheng Xiucai's family in Yingtan Fang?"

Yu Xuandao's eyebrows furrowed, his face was happy, and he turned to Zhang Guangwei and said, "I found the right place." Lang said: "Is it the four joys, poor Dao Yuxuan, Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain." ”

The door soon opened, and a young manservant jumped out, surprised and delighted, and said in a loud voice: "Where did Master Yuxuan come from?" Did you see my young master? Please, please. He shouted towards the house: "Grandma, grandma, eldest miss, Miss Niuniu, the Yuxuan Master of Yingtan is here, and the Yuxuan Master of Yingtan is here." He asked Yu Xuan again: "Daoist Yu Xuan, has my young master come back?" ”

Yu Xuan said: "Poor Dao has seen your young master in Yingtanfang, and I estimate that I will come back in the next two days." ”

Zhang Guangwei followed Yu Xuan into the door, and saw that it was a large patio, the patio was flanked by the wings, the patio was the main hall in the past, and there were two pots of periwinkles placed on the side of the patio, one white and one purple, elegant and pleasant, but the hall was empty and no one was seen, but with the call of Xiao Xi Si Huan, two little girls in bloated winter clothes quickly ran out of the corridor on the right side of the hall, seven or eight years old, looking left and right, this asked: "Where is my brother?" ”

The one asked, "Where's Uncle Carp?" ”

Yu Xuan recognized that the girl on the left with more than an inch of forehead hair and two buns was Zeng Yu's little sister Niu Niuniu, and the one called "uncle" on the side should be Zeng Yu's niece, leaning over and waiting to speak, but he saw a little girl stumbling out of the corridor, this little girl was even smaller, wearing a colorful tiger head hat, panting and shouting: "Wait for me, wait for me - Uncle Carp, Uncle Carp." ”

Zhang Guangwei heard the cry of "Uncle Carp", and couldn't help but laugh "sneer", quickly pursed his lips, and put on a non-smiling appearance, thinking that there are a lot of little girls in this carp show, and they are chattering.

Niuniu recognized Yuxuan Daoist, but the other two little girls Ah Tong and A Wei saw this Huangguan Taoist priest for the first time, looked left and right, and didn't see her uncle Zeng Yu, so she was silent, and the seven-year-old Niuniu generally stepped forward and blessed a blessing and said: "Hello Master, is my brother back?" ”

Yu Xuan hugged his right hand with his left hand and made a kind salute: "Hello Miss Zeng, Brother Ling is now in Yingtanfang, and he will not come back until the thieves retreat." ”

At this time, Zeng Ruolan and her great-mother Zhou came out of the inner courtyard, and Yu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Heavenly officials are blessed, and the poor are polite." ”

Great-mother Zhou saw Taoist Yu Xuan in Yingtan Fang, and later heard her son Zeng Yu say that Yu Xuan and Luo Xixi had a bad encounter, so she was very impressed, and when she came out of the corridor, she had heard Yu Xuan answer Niu Niu's words, and she had been carrying her heart to relax, she was most worried that her son would meet thieves on the road in order to rush home. Serve tea to two guests. He also said, "My son is not at home, and there is no other man at home to entertain him, so the master forgives me." ”

Zeng Ruolan said: "Let Lao Shan go to Zhu Jiajia and call San Lang to accompany the distant guests." ”

Lao Shan is the old servant who answered the door, Zeng Ruolan has been living here with Ah Tong and Ah Wei sisters these days, one is waiting for Zeng Yu to return, and the other is to guard against the attack of bandits, this side is close to the county seat, you can enter the city at any time to hide, the "San Lang" she said in her mouth is her husband Zhu Dedong, Zhu Dedong ranks third.

Yu Xuan bowed to his great-grandmother Zhou and said: "Great-grandmother doesn't have to work, the poor road has received the favor of the nine carp brothers, and the nine carp brothers have broken the knots, this time there is something to Shangrao today, so I want to come to kowtow to the great-grandmother, and I am about to leave." ”

Great-mother Zhou wanted to inquire about her son's situation, where was she willing to let Yu Xuan leave, and said: "The mage has come from afar, of course, he has to have lunch in the house before leaving, otherwise my son Zeng Yu will complain that I don't know the etiquette when he comes back - the mage please sit in the hall." ”

Yu Xuan entered the hall and sat down, Zhang Guangwei did not have the consciousness of pretending to be a little girl, and also sat down, although Zeng Mother Zhou and Zeng Ruolan felt that this little manservant was a little ignorant of the rules, but they did not blame it, they thought that they had traveled a long way, walked hard, and sat sitting, so Sixi poured a cup of hot tea for this little guy with clear eyebrows, and ordered to bring a brazier to be placed at Yu Xuan and Zhang Guangwei's feet to keep warm, and then asked Yu Xuan about Zeng Yu's situation.

Yu Xuan said that when Zeng Yu passed through Yingtan on his way back from Fenyi, because he heard that the bandits were raging in the lead mountain and Hengfeng, he temporarily stayed at Zheng Xiucai's house, and he wanted to come back after the thieves wiped out the road and calmed down......

Zhang Guangwei listened to Yu Xuan lying in front of him, and he was quite disapproving, Zeng Yu and the thief were around, wise and brave, this is so exciting to say, but making up such a lie, it is really boring, seeing the three little girls standing side by side and listening attentively to Yu Xuan's lie, Zhang Guangwei forgot that he was a little manservant, and beckoned to Niuniu to let Niuniu come closer, she wanted to take Suzhou-style pastries for the little girls to eat-

Niu Niu shook her head and didn't move half a step.

Zhang Guangwei sat down, looked at Zeng Yu's mother Zhou, recalled in his heart where Zeng Yu's face resembled his mother, thinking about it, drowsiness hit fiercely, caught off guard, the brazier at his feet was warm, the house was very warm, this eldest lady leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep with her head tilted-

Lao Shan, the old servant of the Zhu family, changed his felt boots at this time and was about to go out to call Zhu Dedong to accompany the guests, Yu Xuan hurriedly said: "Grandma Zeng, Miss Zeng, there are other important things in the poor road, so I don't dare to delay more, so I won't bother." Standing up and waiting to greet Zhang Guangwei to say goodbye together, he saw Zhang Guangwei sitting on the official hat chair with his head tilted to the side, and a slight snoring sound came from between his noses-

Yu Xuan was embarrassed, but he also knew that Zhang Guangwei was really sleepy, but it was not like sleeping here like this, and he was also prone to wind and cold, so he coughed at the moment and wanted to wake Zhang Guangwei up.

Zhang Guangwei was so sleepy that it would not be easy for her to wake her up if there was thunder, so he listened to his great-mother Zhou's pity: "This little brother is in a hurry, and he fell asleep when he sat down, pitiful - the mage should not wake him up, just let him squint for a while to recuperate, lunch must be used in the cold house, even if the mage has something, the meal always has to be eaten."

Yu Xuan had no choice but to sit down again, but saw that the green cloth hat on Zhang Guangwei's head that was sleeping with his head tilted fell off, and the originally combed bun had already dispersed because of a night of riding a horse, and as soon as the hat fell, the bun was draped down, Zhang Guangwei's long hair was very lush, and it was so black that it was shiny, like silk satin, and the willow eyebrows and cherry lips reflected this black hair, even if a blind person knew that this was a young woman.

Great-mother Zhou and Zeng Ruolan were so surprised, they both looked at Yuxuan Daoist, and thought to themselves what this Daoist was doing with a beautiful girl dressed as a man?

Zeng's mother Zhou and Zeng Ruolan couldn't open their mouths to ask, thinking that this was a private matter of Taoist Yuxuan, or it was better not to find out, Zeng Ruolan's eight-year-old eldest daughter A Tong was unscrupulous, stepped forward to look at the sleeping Zhang Guangwei, and said: "Hey, it turns out that this is a woman, why are you pretending to be a man?" ”

Six-year-old Ah Wei asked Sixi: "Sixi, will you pretend to be a girl?" "Because Zhang Guangwei's dress is similar to Xi Sixi.

Sixi opened his mouth wide, looked at Yu Xuan, and then looked at Zhang Guangwei, Sixi didn't go to Longhu Mountain with Zeng Yu last time, so he didn't recognize Zhang Guangwei.

Taoist Yu Xuan was so embarrassed that the corners of his forehead sweated, thinking that he couldn't let his great-grandmother misunderstand him and the little fairy aunt, that was a big sin, it would be better to make it clear, so he got up and said: "Great-grandmother, please listen to Poor Dao, this young lady is the young lady of Zhang Dazhen's family in Longhu Mountain, Poor Dao was ordered to escort her to Shangrao to do business, in terms of seniority, Poor Dao is her apprentice grandchild, and Poor Dao respects her very much." ”

Great-mother Zhou and Zeng Ruolan glanced at each other, great-mother Zhou was not a clever person, but just nodded and said, "Okay, it turned out to be Miss Zhang Zhenren." ”

Yu Xuandao people observed their words and feelings, and knew that their words could not dispel the suspicions of Zeng Yu's mother and sister, but if they wanted to tell the truth and discuss, they were afraid that the Zeng family would be frightened and worried, which was really embarrassing.

I wrote a plot that didn't work at this time, so I'll put it tomorrow, and I'll change it to 4,000 words today.
